THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT. OCT. 14, 1954 MM SCHOOL Rev. E. 8. Warren, b.A.B.D Wisdom for Daily Living Proverbs 3:1-6; 4:10 15, 18-19. Memory Selection: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6. This is the first of five lessons dealing with important subjects from the book Of Proverbs. Wisdom, as used in this book, has a moral value. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.' 1:7 "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom" 3:13. He is wise who walks in God's ways. The memory verse contains a remarkable promise. It calls for faith in the Lord in preference to self-will. The complete committal of the self to God insures Divine guidance. Worry and fear disappear in the presence of such faith. Young people should read and reread prayerfully the book of Proverbs. Here the good way and the evil way are clearly set forth. We are warned that the way of the wicked is as darkness. We are advised, "Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away." The warnings are applied to the many phases of temptation that come to us in every day living. On the other hand "the path Of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. "One sees the truth of this as he visits the aged. The man who has disipated his life in following after the shiny baubles of worldly pleasures is restless in old age. The godly have serenity and peace. Though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. One youth said in excusing his ungodly way of living, "Well, one tnust sow his wild oats." Does he? Let him remember that "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Galatians 6:7. It is better to" take God's way which is the way of wisdom. Modern Etiquette Q If a man is wearing a very soft hat, is it really necessary for him to tip this to a woman by removing It from his head -- or Isn't merely touching: the brim all right in this case?

Bar for slack- Answer Elsewhere on This Page Making Money From The Weather Certain people swear by Marion Hogan, the wind and weather woman. Shapely, blue-eyed Marion is head of a firm named Weather Services Inc., which has offices in the new John Hancock Building in Bos- Her enterprise is one of growing prosperity, the result of years of hard work in selling a service which at first seemed less than useful to the businessmen she approached. Yet Marion now has regular customers who say they would never again dispense with her valuable services. Take the case of the Rice Bakeries in Baltimore. Like any other bakery, the Rice company directors were never certain how their sales would run from day to day. Consequently, they had to bake many more items than were actually sold, and their losses with the left-overs, which more often than not were unsaleable, ran to hundreds of dollars weekly. The bakery management suspected that a certain amount of the variations in their sales was caused by the daily weather But they did not know how to overcome this difficulty. Miss Hogan and her scientific staff undertook to analyze the bakery operations in . terms of all the daily weather factors from fluctuations of temperature to direction of wind They reduced these data to a set of categories, each specified by a single number, and an accompanying table told thp bakers what the numbers meant in .terms of daily sales expecta- Miss Hogan telephoned the bakery every morning and gave them a forecast category number for the day. The bakers then hunted up the expected sales in their tables and planned their production accordingly. They found that by following her instructions they were able to cut their leftover losses by 30 per cent. Marion's almost uncanny skill has so impressed them that they want to continue her service indefinitely. THIFAEM FE0NT For some years scientists at the University of Conneticut have been experimenting with a high-energy, low-fibre ration for laying hens. The latest report shows that the results are still very good. Hens still produce more eggs on less feed, and weigh more at the end of the laying period when they get the high-corn ration, than they did on a standard ration. That's 13 to 16 more eggs apiece on 13% less feed. What's more, their pen litter was dryer, indicating less water secretion. And egg hatchability was higher, too. The main changes that the scientists made in the standard formula to get the high-energy ration were to substitute ground yellow corn for ground oats and half the wheat middlings. They also doubled the syobean oil meal and meat scrap, and added 20 grams of niacin (nicotinic If you're thinking of juggling your own rations around this fall, here are the "recipes" for the two that were compared: Ground yellow corn 713 1223 Ground oats 400 Standard wheat 500 250 (middlings) Soybean oil meal 100 200 Meat scrap (50%) 50 100 Fish meal (60%) 50 40 Alfalfa meal 50 50 Butyl fermentation product 20 20 Steamed bone meal 40 40 Ground limestone 60 60 Salt 10 10 Vitamin A and D feeding oil (2,000 units A--400D per gram) 5 5 Vitamin B-12 concentrate (3 mg. per lb.) 2 2 Manganese sulphate 0.25 0.25 Nictoine Acid ... 20 grams 2000.25 lbs. 2000.25 lbs. The high energy feed may cost a bit more per hundred, but more eggs on less feed, and heavier hens, usually mean that it's cheaper in the long run. You can get up to 20% more eggs from your Leghorns -- just by "dubbing" them as pullets, Wyoming tests show. To dub, just cut off the comb and wattles of the pullet with a pair of scissors, snipers or knife, at 10 to 12 weeks. Dub cockerels at five to six weeks. Scientists at the University Of Wyoming say dubbed birds do better, because they have no combs to freeze, and so are more active in cold weather. Eggs lost as much quality in four days at 70 degrees F. as they do in 192 days at 30 de-'grees, say poultry scientists. That makes egg-cooling mighty important during hot fall days, if you want to hit top grades for top prices. Farm basements are too warm and dry for egg storage, say Michigan State College scientists, after checking 20 farmhouse basements. But some folks have licked the cooling problem without much expensive equipment by rigging up home-made cooling systems. The main trick seems to be this: gather the eggs as often as you can, and stick them into the cooler as soon as possible. That's the best way to assure freshness when they hit the frying "CHECK DIFFERENCE" - Phil Nathan, a Chicago television repairman, displays the $100,005 check he got for servicing a set.

Blind Doctor Pelivers 2,000 Babies By ROSETTE HARGROVE NEA Staff Correspondent Chelles, France -- (NEA) -- In this little village, 20 miles east of Paris, 70-year-old Dr. Albert Nast recently delivered -his 2000th baby. Little Marie-Claire was the sixth infant he had brought into the world in the space of 36 hours -- an achievement in itself, but all the more significant for a doctor who has been blind for the last 23 years. It is difficult to believe, watching this doctor move unhesitatingly from one bed to another in his 14-bed rural clinic, that he cannot see. Watching his triweekly medical consultation, you would be struck by his surety of movement and by the complete confidence of his patients. "I am as much at my ease as any other doctor. Instead of two eyes I have one at each of my 10 fingertips," says Dr. Nast. "It is those who see who are responsible for the inferiority complex from which the majority of the blind suffer," he added. "Contrary to popular belief, however, the other senses of we who live in total darkness are not over-developed. We are just not hampered by vision. "I can establish my diagnoses in other ways -- by touch, smell or the sound of a patient's voice. Naturally, I am dependent on my staff for some things, "such as the reading of blood pressure and outward signs of ailments detectable to the eye only." He shrugs his shoulders ever so slightly when you express admiration for his ability to deliver babies, sight unseen. "There is nothing extraordinary in that. As a matter of fact, vision is not essential. Before I became /blind. I often closed my eyes as a baby was about to be born, relying entirely upon my hands." The dexterity of this blind doctor is only matched by his humility. The confidence and affection of his patients is reward enough. He* does, however, represent the miracle of willpower in a man who twice in his life-had to overcome tragedies -- the death of his 20-year old wife, Louise, in childbirth, 40 years ago, and the loss of his eyesight at the age of 44. Dr. Nast's most precious helpmate is his second wife, Manon, some 30 years his junior. She helped him overcome the deep despondency caused by the first tragedy "and the black fits of despair which beset him when his world went dark. "My eyes," he calls her. They have two daughters and an 11-year-old son besides Ray- mond, the boy whose birth cost his mother's life, and 12 grandchildren. At 23, Albert Nast was a brilliant young lawyer. He abandoned law to study medicine, primarily with the idea of saving young women from the fate Of his first wife. In 1922 he nun* up his shingle in the viliagi Of Chelles in what had been hit father's hunting lodge. Until 1931, he led the busy life of a country doctor. Then the event predicted by an eye doctor when he was 11 happened. He lost the sight Of first the righ+, then the left eye. Twenty-two operations and 14 oculists could not save his sight. "I was in despair. Suicide seemed the only way out. But my clients all rallied round me. I then decided to continue to practice medicine without the light of day," he recalls. From then on Albert Nast never looked back: His assistants, a certified midwife and a nurse, have been with him since he made the decision. Two nurses' aides and a cook complete the staff. The clinic is run on a community basis, with everybody ready to give a hand wherever needed. Despite his handicap, the doctor has led a fuller life than many men. Aligned on a long shelf in his office are the books he has written before and after his blindness -- novels, plays, medical and legal works and poems. He was elected deputy before the last war on an independent ticket and. is municipal councillor Of his little village. All along he has Ke.Pt abreast of the latest developments in medicine, thanks to the devotion of his secretary. But over and above all this there is his unceasing devotion to the cause of the blind. At 70, "Docteur Miracle," as some of his patients call him, looks a good 15 years younger. A vegeterian, he is also a non-smoker. His great relaxation is music. Besides being a gopd pianist, he is very proud of having preserved the fine baritone voice which at 18 had made him consider an operatic career. Recently Dr. Nast was asked by a group of California doctors to go to the United States to give a series of lectures and practical demonstrations Regretfully he refused. "My place is here," he says. "I have only one ambition, to serve the cause of my brothers in darkness." DR. NAST AND 2000TH BABY: "Vision is not essential."
