Clarke After an experience such as we had last week, it isn't easy to sit . down and write this column, Nat- urally, I don't wapt to inflict our worries upon my readers--most people have enough of their own-- yet I cannot write a chronicle of weekly events at Ginger Farm and ignore what has happened, So for- <give me if I refer briefly to what has taken place. ) My sister-In-law's funeral was last - Wednesday ~-- from the Funeral Home in Milton. We thought the flowers would never stop coming, They were very beautiful, Only a few, however, were sent to the cemetery; the others were distrib- uted to the churches, and among the sick and "shut-ins. They had scrved their purpose in honouring the dead but afterwards everyone agreed. it would be a shame to let the flowers freeze outside when they might serve a better and hap- pler purpose by bringing pleasure to the living. For several days even our big house seemed filled to capacity with friends--there were nine of us al- together. After the service those from a distance came back for tea and some of them were here for began. In the morning Bob and four others set out for North Bay, in Bob's car. Tt was terribly cold and windy but since we had not paid much attention to weather reports it was not until after they had gone we heard how bad road conditions were In some districts--particularly going north. Then Partner began to worry--said they should never have sfarted out when it was $0 - cold. However, Daughter phoned La Cave Friday morning and found that her uncle and gotisin had both' shown up at the office so. we were all considerably relieved on that score. Bob would still have another $00 miles to travel from North Bay --and we haven't heard from him vete ~ Babs, the last of our visitors, went back to Sunnybrook on Sun- day. She had stayed a day or two longer than the rest to help me get "all the extra washing done and the. house set to rights. Now Partner and I are alone once more, snatch- ing a little extra rest, and getting back to our ordinary, everyday chores, although we still find it hard to realise that our happy little family gathering could end so disastrously. And yet from this, as from every _ new experience, we.chave learned __& lot, and it has also given us many heart-warming thoughts to treasure for the rest -of our days. What _ stands out in our memory of events during the last week is the kindness of our friends. I think I mentioned that last week--Dbut it will bear re- peating. The day of the funeral two of our neighbours came in, bringing cakes and cookies with them. With- out losing "any tinte they set to work, cutting sandwiches and mak- ing other preparations for tea while we were away at the service. They helped me serve refreshments to the twenty-five people who came back to the. farm from the cemetery. Af- _terwards these good friends of ours washed dishes and left everything ship-shape before returning home. 1 didn't have a worry at all in that respect. That is what it means to have good neighbours. And I am quite sure it applies to country people throughout Ontario. Sometimes we hear that neigh- bourliness is dying out. At times 1 have thought that too. That is to say, I have realised that neighbours -don't visit back and forth the way they used to --there are not the number of "bees" of various kinds, or house parties like there used to be. But yet neighbourly hearts are still in the same places; still respond as quickly as ever to those in dis- tress. Because of this kindliness | that has been so veryémuch in cvi- dence, Partner's brother and his family have said over and over "supper.

So we find plenty to be thank- ful for, even now. Well, T have just been down for the mail and found a postcard from Bob.

Kuiper of the Uni- versity of Chicago has been able to calculate that Pluto's size is much less than was previously supposed. This furthermost planet's diame- ter is now known to be-3,600 miles, It is about one-tenth of the earth's -mass. . Before these observations, Pluto. which was discovered only 20 years agp, was believed to be massive and heavy--a frozen and condensed world on which life was impossible. It is the ninth planet of the solar system All the planets--the earth is one of them--circle in=orbits round the sun, and Pluto is farther from the sun than any other--3,675 "million miles away. - - Pluto's position was worked out by mathematics at the beginning of , ACROSS , sheltered side 1.

And it doesn't care whether or not you break your .neck. - That's the point of this story by a' farm 'safety specialist, 4% 4 "How. many 'more lodds will we need, Dad?" 'asked Ted. as they finished * dumping another wagon load of gravel in the yard. i "About three more should do it," He had just climbed back on the tractor seat after pulling the pin to release the wagon tongue. Now he turned toward the pile of gravel to level Jt with "the blade - "Modern machinery is great stuff, thought Frank' as the gravel pile disappeared. Think how much shovelling it would _take to level off all this gravel by hand. Think, too, how much work_ it used to be to attach something like this blade to a tractor--or take it off. With newer equipment it can be done in a jiffy. "That does it, Ted. Now let's get this blade off. Hurry now, and we'll have time to get those other three loads." | The blade soon was detached, Cand Frank raced back to the trac- tor seat. "Come on, Ted, get_the pin," he sliouted as he backed up to -the tongue. "Never mind, IT can get it myself quicker." Frank disengaged the clutch, but left the tractor in gear, then jump- "ed off: He lifted --up---the tongue, ... then reached for the clutch and started the tractor backward slow- ly. But his hand slipped . . . The hitch jerked out of his hand .., The tractor pushed him against the wagon. . . . - Frank might have been squashed tractor and wagon. Ex- cept that tractor and wagon wheels met, leaving Frank enough room to get out with nothing worse than bruises. ' Will you be as lucky? Never operate a tractor from the ground. Never stand between tractor and another vehicle when the tractor is being moved. i . -Practice backing up to loads. You- can soon learn to line up so you can set the brakes, get off, pick up: the tongue and drop the pin through tongue and hitch.

THE" CLUE The man sat with his hand out- stretched as the fortune-teller read his palm. "See that line?" asked the mystic, pointing to the fellow's palm, "Yes, I see it," he returned. "What does it mean?" Co "It means," said the fortune- teller, gravely, "that you are going to take a trip in the very near future. To Birmingham, perhaps." When he left the fortune-teller the man headed for the railway station. - Se - "A ticket to Birmingham, please," he said. : \ "Single or return?" asked the booking clerk, The fellow struck out his palm, "I don't know," he said. "Take a look!" or "Do you love me for myself glone, Charles?" "T do. And when we're married: I don't want any of the family thrown in." DON' what's good for a COUGH?

JERUSALEM ROAD : Mark 10: 35-45 Memory Selection: Whosoever will 'be 'great among you, shall be your minister, Mark 10:43b. - Ls With this lesson, Jesus is on His last journey from Perea across Jor-. - dan to Jerusalem, where He would - die for the sins of the race and then rise on the third day. On His road - to greatness. by the way of b..the Cross, it was an inopportune time for two of His disciples to press their claims for positions of distinction in His kingdom! But there 'has always been politics in the Church. An editor of a church paper published an article entitled, "The Church Boss." Thirty-five irate subscribers wrote indignant letters cancelling their subscrip- tions for "the personal attack made on me." "Diotrephes who loveth to have the preeminence," (3 John 9), is not dead yet. Jesus taught by precept and example that "who- soever will be great among you, shall be your minister." At the last supper it was He who girded Him- self with a towel and took a bason of water and washed 'the disciples' feet. He took the lowest place, True greatness is to. serve. By dying. for _us_all on the Cross He deniionstrated it more clearly." James and John' were sincere men. When filled with the Holy Spirit, that spirit of "me first" gave way to a passionate" desire to follow humbly in the footsteps of their aster. James early experienced the baptism of suffering. He was the first of the disciples to he mar- "tyred. Acts 12:2, History says that of the ecleven, only John escaped death by martyrdom. But they all served. Let us all learn the lesson ~ that greatness consists not in exer- cising authority over others but in serving others in the spirit of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.
