Ii. 1s the word 1 the memory selection and franslated 'miracles'. The word John' uses indicates that the prime object of the wondrous out of and beyond itself. It-is a kind of finger-post of God, val- uable not so much for what it is as for that which it indicates of the grace and power of the doer, or of the higher world in which he stands. Our study today is of the first of the signs which Jesus did. Our Memory Selection is: "This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and. mani- fested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him." John 2711. - This statement indicates that all reputed miracles con- nected with Christ's youth found in the Apocryphal Gospels are fictitious. These signs manifest -- Christ's glory. 8 5 BE LER It is noteworthy that the first ~of Christ's signs should be per- formed on the joyous: occasion of a wedding. Jesus was inter- ested in weddings though He did not marry. . However, He is pre- paring a Bride which He shall present to Hiself on His return. Ephesians 5:25-27. For her, the Church, He did far more than turn water into wine; He gave Himself. He shed His own blood on Calvary for the redemption of sinners that He might prepare a bride for Himself, Much has been said about the possibility of the 'good wine' which Jesus made, containing alcohol. Since it was not analy- zed by an chemist, it is impos- sible to know. This was not the "juice of the-grape.-It was wholly. supernatural, made entirely out of water. 'We cannot doubt that God was well able to produce 'miraculously' a drink, and a nu- tritious drink, too, that tasted better than their man-made wine, without any alcohol in it. The Bible cpndemns drunken- ness. "They that do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5:21. The drink that Jesus made was not' design- ed to promote drunkenness.

A U.S. View Of Canada's Economy Canada's economy is in trou- ble, and the United States has -- every reason to- want. to be of help. For if the recession in the Dominion, already more severe ~ than our own, is prolonged or "grows worse, the ill effects will be felt in our own country as well, Our exports will suffer, for Canada is our best customer, buying a fifth of the goods sold "beyond" our. borders. Income from investments will suffer, for both firms and individuals are heavily involved in Canadian -ownings, oT In Canada itself, moreover, & worsening or prolongation of the slump can -only lend force to "proposals for increased protec- tionism which have been heard for the past four years and lon- ger.

C. Carder. Twelve ounces of the active ingredient - per square rod applied in 1959 at a cost of $1.10 for the material, quickly eliminated couch grass and all other vegetation, LJ * LE Erbon is not inflammable nor .is. it toxic to humans or. animals, As a soil sterilant its effect persists for only three or four years, However, this 'permits ample time to check for re- growth and to re-treat if neces sary. 24 . * a Another chemical, monuron, applied at the rate of six ounces of the active ingredient per - square rod eliminated all vege- tation for six to eight years at a cost of 1.45, This would be useful 'water. around buildings. Simazine used at the rate of six ounces per square rod does the same job at a cost of $2.20 but is effective only for three or four years These herbicides are purchased in liquid form for mixing with Sodium chlorate applied dry at 10 pounds per square rod, kill- ed all vegetation at a cost of $1.35. Six pounds of a monuron- borate mixture applied dry did the job for $2.25 per square rod. Monuronborate is not inflamma- ble or harmful to livestock or clothing. - TCA, dalapon and amitrole are __more suitable for large patches of couch grass and some other weeds in fields, but thelr resl- dual effect is of short duration.

The many ways in which the dog has adapted himself to the ser- vice of mankind, In peace and war, industry and science, work and sport, are far too numerous" to list, The natural intelligence of | canines has been developed to such a high degree that at least one member of practically every breed has: achieved an accom- plishment which Is not indigen- ous to.its breed, and is some- times a specialty of another breed. For example, Dalmatians are considered a nonsporting breed but have been used for finding and pointing upland gama birds; dachshunds are classified in the hound group but have been suc- cessfully trained to retrieve waterfowl; and mongrels have been put to work trailing lost persons. I have heard it fre- quently said that trail hounds have little aptitude for intensive training, but it is my opinion that much depends on the in- dividual dog. All dogs possess, in at least some small degree, the pointing instinct. In the pointing bird dog breeds this has been encouraged, nourished, and developed for such a long time that it has be- come a dominant characteristic. In others, the instinct to point lies dormant, but it is still there. This age-old Instinct, fleeting though the action was original- ly, has been developed through many years of encouragement and training to such an extent that a pointing dog is now ex- pected to remain motionless and rigid upon scenting game, until the hunter arrives to flush it. To the student of gun-dog be- havior, It is not very surprising to see & member of some non- pointing breed occaslonally come to a staunch point on game birds. Nevertheless, it Is unusual enough to be spectacular. Many Labradors, golden, and Chesapeake Bay retrievers are used regularly in pheasant hunt- ing, particularly in the ringneck country of Canada. Generally, these are hunted in the manner of spaniels and encouraged to range close and flush their game, occasional point registered. In judging springer and cock- er spaniel field trials, I have seen 3 although X:am_sure there is an | a number of these dogs point pheasants. Not with the staunch. ness of a pointer or setter, the interval in which a posture was assumed was lo enough to call the action a pola Under the accepted procedur of judging, this is considered fault, and the dog is penall accordingly. Yet many sportsme® have a different opinion on the subject of dog judging proce. dure. Many actions of hunting dogs show that . sporting dogs ac: customed to working game fre- quently respond to that instino- .tive urge to point, regardless of the fact that they have beaa carefully trained to flush it. Retrieving also might well ba considered a definite Insfiner -- certainly with some brefds. Al- most any dog can be taught to retrieve. All that Is required is a little know-how and a lot of patience, Many dogs of breeds other than the retrieving spe- cialists are natural retrievers and require no training whatever {mn this regard. Many beagles and bassets maks excellent pheasant dogs, and some are used regularly ia grouse hunting. I do not know ot any instances of their pointing game, but many are natural re- trievers and very useful in thls department. Can the puppies of a dog that has an outstanding field trial re- cord and terrific hunting ability be ecxpected to inherit these characteristics? Such expecta- tions do not always materialize in dog breeding. While the theory of "like begets like" Is a good rule on which to pin your hopes, Nature very often has a way ob upsetting the apple cart. I have seen champion-bred dogs that proved practically worthless in the field, yet members of tha same litter proved high caliber. So, this matter of instinct is not one to be treated lightly. The more experience one has with any breed of dog, the more he sees it come to light, for dogs can be versatile, By Henry P. Davis, Dog Editor of "Sports Afield."
