We had little more to put up with than a certain amount of inconvenience •nd unpic:isariuiess Friday night the power was off in town but ours wag still on. But ytli can be quite sure we had candles ready â€" just in case. Saturday morning . . . ah, that was a difttrent st'-ry! The power went off, telephone went dead â€" and the kitclieii stove smoked. Partner made one attempt to light the fire but the wind bltw more smoke back into the room than it carried away. So we did witiiout a fire. At that time the power was still on but we had a feeling it might give up the ghost at any time. With that possi- bility in mind I made coffee well ahead of time on 'he electric stove. Half an hour befoie breakfast â€" off went the powerl Of course electric burners stay hot foi a long time but even so the coffee would naturally be getting a little cooler all the time. "Well, what's a thermos for?" I said to myself. So 1 got out the thermos. Result â€" hot coffee for breakfast. We had boiled eggs too. I managed that by dropping the •ggs into the cooling water and leaving until needed. On the whole k is rather fun, don't you think, just figuring out how to keep things on an even keel during an emer- gency? Of course we still have an oilstove which I could have used but I didn't fancy the job of standing out in the back porch fixing the oilstove â€" not with a 70 mile wind (ifting in througli the cracks and knot-holes. During the forenoon the wind be- came stronger than ever â€" and cold- er â€" shifting a little towards the north. But that was belter for the kitchen stove .«o we tried lighting the fire again â€" and this time w« were not smoked out. That gave tne a chance to get dinner. The hydro was still off and did not come on until 3:30â€" eight hours without it -MtH* -^([^ A«M> New! I'lyuwa.v Silliouctte in a 4R«hing ensemble.

IflUB 5 - 1950 was quite a stretch. The telephone is still out although there have been line'smen working on it. The poles were blown down just below our place. It was certainly an awful wind. We wondered if the doors on the barn an., driving shed would stand the strain, even with extra bracing. But thty did â€" and so, e.xcept for a few shingles rip.jed off the barn roof; some fences knocked around a bit; branches of trees strewn here and there , wc really suffered very little damage from the storm at all. Need I »ay we are very thankful? I hope vou people who read this column were equally fortunate. There is something very frigliten- ing about a high wind, isn't there? You feel so powerless against it, and, except for information given out by the weather bureau, you never know how bad it will be; how long it will last; nor who, or what, will be hurt before it is over. Important plans are shaping up in the world today â€" of far greater im- portance than any freakish weather that comes our way â€" and yet how much more attention we give to the weather! It has even stolen the show from egg price discussions. Imagine thati Ont thing is certain â€" farmers may not he in the money these days, but they are certainly in the news. The outlook for farmers generally is not particularly cheering just now. But this much we can remember to our comfort. Since the depression days of the '30's we have come a long way. Better prices since that time have given farmers a chance to sort of catcii up with themselves. Mortgage, have been paid off; new machiner.> purchased; livestock built up and improved; tractors have taken the place of horses; modern conveniences have been installed in many farm homes; and farmers, on the whole, sre working shorter hours. Altogether the farm family's standard ut living has been raised consideribly â€" isn't that as it should be? Farmerb in Canada are not peas- ants, many of them come from well educated families with a cultural background dating hack many gen- erations. Men of this type farm be- cause thej love the soil; they like working with and improving their livestock; growing things and being close to Nature. But very few of them are satisfied with a low stan- dard of living. Because of better prices things changed considerably during the last decade. If the pre- sent level can be maintained there is less danger of young people leav- ing the farm for jobi in the city. The average farm provides them with a better home, a better living â€" and plenty of entertainment, if they want to take advantage of it. If another depression should come our way -don't take it for granted that it will â€" but if it does we are at least better equipped to meet it than we were In the '30'8. The higher standard of living which we have attained in the inlerim might well he reparded as an addition to our working capital.

Acts 11:26 Persecution is often a blessing. The believers at Jerusalem were compelled to scatter, but they took with them the Good News of Jesus Christ. Some of them were natives of Cyprus and Cyrene and when they reached Antioch, they "spake unto the Greacians, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord." Barnabas, who had presented Saul to the Apostles, was despatched to Antioch. He is described as "a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith." The ministry of this type of man would bless any church. He secured the help of Saul and together they ministered to the first Gentile Church. Here the name "Christian" was first used. It was applied to those who had hetome the term is used very loosely. The followers of Jesus Christ. To-day dictionary defines a Christian as a "person showing character consist- ent with Christ's teaching, of genu- ine piety." If this were true of the approximately 98% of Canadians which the census calls Christians, how much better a country this would be. .A thriving church is not self- satisfied but has a missionary vision. This was the case at Antioch. "The Holy Ghost said, "Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." Here was a Divine call, realized by the individuals called and by the other leaders in the church. General Mc.\rthur has been calling for mis- sionarie.s for Japan. The church is responding, but slowly. O that God would find many like Barnabas, filled with the Holy Ghost, who will leave comfort and ease, to carry the glorious Gospel to those who sit darkness. Cripps' Quip "Are profits immoral?" Sir Staf- ford Cripps was asked by a need- ling questioner at a press confer- ence. Always ready with a reply, the Socialist Chancellor of the Ex- chequer answered that profits are necessary in a capitaHst economy â€" but that they have to be taxed. 'â- Thus,'' he added brighty, "we get the best of both worlds. The capitalist gets his profits, and 1 get tiie nionev."

To yield to a sudden mfatu- * ation (which must be purely * pli.wsical) and desert your husband * and little children, is a callow act * unworthy of a wife and mother. * 1 am not unmindful of the ' emotional crisis that you face. A * woiiiau contented in her marriage * meets a man who awakens a pas * sion so overwhelming that she is * sh^ckcd of her accustomed ser- * eiiity, flung into a whirlwind of * sentimental reactions that for * years have lain dormant. Her * husband becomes obnoxious to * her, even her children appear only * another obstruction to the con- * sumation of her desires â€" * And obsessed by the tumult * within her, flings them off and * goes her own way. * But which way will you go? * If this man had been more * than momentarily interested, he * would not have been silent all * this time â€" unless he is too hon- * orable to pursue another man's * wife. If you turn to him now, he * will see you as a woman matl- * dcned by passion, too unstable to * be trusted by any man. Could * you bear that? * Go back home immediately, if * your husband will have you. And * find your consolation in being a * loyal wife to a man who loves * you, and a mother of whom your * iliiUlren ran be proud. Temptation comes to us all. But ot\'.y the weak will yield.

Cheating By High School Students Presents A Real Modern Problem A high school graduate recently gave only 12 correct answers to 50 simple addition problems when she made application for a job in a downtown department store. The personnel manager wag puz- zled. High school records showed that the girl's grades were above average and she was regarded as a good student. Further questioning of the girl by the personnel manager brought out the answer. The girl admitted that she had "cheated" her way through high school. Poll Reveals Cheating in the classroom has long been a touchy problem in high schools. A poll of 10,000 high school students revealed that more than 50 per cent of -the youths had cheat- in one way or another in the class- room. There have been many attempts to curb this problem and one of the most successful has been the project carried on by students and faculty at Fordson High School in suburban Dearborn. Students in each of Fordson's 36 social science classes selected a delegate to represent them at a student congress especially set up to determine what could be done about cheating. The congress was split into small groups of five or six students. A general discussion of the cheating problem was carried on in each group. The delegates then returned to their classrooms, where further dis- cussion was held. After compiling suggestions from these discussions, the congress then set up a definite program lo curb cheating. The program was studied by the faculty and the final finishing touch- es added. It's this student cooper- ative job that has practically elim- inated cheating from Fordson High. The problem has been brought out in the open, teachers explain, and the student now feels that by help- ing to set up a corrective program he is helping himself Delegates, in formulating their analysis of the problem, pointed out that there "is a great deal of cheating going on" and that "much of the cheating goes on unbeknown to the teachers." The students then listed various ways that Fordson youths were cheating. Some of these were: Copying answers from another student on tests or written work. Hearing or telling or signalling answers to or from another student on tests or written work. Using notes or "ponies." Giving other students higher grades than they should have had when papers are exchanged and corrected in class by students. Copj'- other student's notes, homework or notebooks. Students in one class passing along answers or informa- tion al>out a test to students in another class who will be having the test later. Obtainhig and using a copy of a test given by a teacher during a previous semester. Taking a copy of a test from a classroom before it i? given. Changing marks in the teacher's gradebook when she is out of the room. Dangar Signal* Then the delegate* li*t«ii. tiM shortcomings of cheating. These to' eluded: Cheating lowers a student's sens* of honesty. Students don't learn a* much when they cheat. Cheating de- velops attitudes and viewpoint* which may cause the student trou- ble in later life. Cheating hurt* both parents and taxpayers, as stu- dents don't get the full measur* of what school has to oflfer. It i* unfair to a student who doesn't cheat and gets low marks to see a student cheat and land on the honor roll. The final recommendations of th«' congress, which the school has put in effect to eliminate cheating, include: That more emphasis be placed on honor, and that the dishonesty of cheating be stressed. That whenevei a test is being given teachers should watch care- fully to prevent cheating. This would not only catch cheaters but protect the student who doesn't want to cheat but who may be put on the spot by his claiisiiiates.^ That the same test should never be given to several classes. That papers should ne-ver be ex- changed and corrected by students. That no student should be allow- ed to record grades in a grade book. That more theme type tesU should be gfiven. Work other than tests should b* assignei and heavily considered for the final mark in a course. Blackout Art Shows Picture galleries throughout th* world may soon be provided with specially blacked-out rooms is which visitors can view exquisitely coloured pictures now being painted by an entirely new process in Hol- land. Artists are producing these pictures with novel pigments which resemble the powders used for lin- ing the tubes of fluorescent lamp*. Viewed in ordinary light, the pic- tures look dull, flat and uninterest- ing. But when looked at by inri*- ible ultra-violet light in a darkened room they take on a brilliancy of colour never equalled by the great painters of the past. By the new technique, contrasts of light and colour can be heightened at least a hundredfold. Life-like effects have already been achieved through the use of, the new paints.
