44 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, September 8, 1 uild, Repair or Remodel Your Home MODERN ADAPTATION OF THE CAPE STYLE HOME SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON How Material Wealth May Be Used For Good By NEWMAN CAMPBELL The subject of money and its "uses is a most timely one in this era of high waves and salaries, work for everyone who is able bodied, if one wishes it, and high prices, high taxes, huge govern- ment debts, etc. Is it a time for contentment and happiness? It would not seem xo. Wars take the lives our fine young men; } crime is rampant, grumbling is heard on every side. Our lesson contains a parable of Jesus' which we have studied before, but which is always inter- esting and instructive. Jesus told about a man who probably had | worked hard all his life. He seems | to have been a good man -- honest, as far as we know. He is simply called, "A certain rich man," that is all. His work had been rewarded; his barns were overflowing with plenteous harvests, so much so that his problem was to find a place to store them. He sat pondering what to do, and he resolved to tear down his | old barns, build larger ones and | then sit back at ease and enjoy his wealth. He doesn't seem to have thought at all about those who might be poor and hungry, whose poverty he might relieve and still have plenty for himself. He felt he had labored | for this day when he need no long- er work. He was not a wicked man -- only selfish; he thought only of himself. a However, he was reckoning with- out the possibility that death might | near -- and what then would become of his huge barns full of rich harvests? That very night he would die. God said, '"Thou fool, this night thy soul will be requir- ed of thee: then whose shall those ings be, which thou hast provid- Jesus said, "So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." Even if this certain rich man Had lived, would taking his ease --eating, drinking and making merry -- have brought him con- tentment? It is to be doubted. Mere riches rarely bring happi- | ness. They bring care and worry, fear of thieves or of rivals taking it away. Ask the children if (their | allowances have been raised" and if so has it made them happier, or does it make them want more and more things? Now we return to Paul's advice to Timothy and the church mem- bers at Ephesus. Paul worried about his people there. His first advice to them was concerning ser- vants and their masters, and how they should treat each other. In a world where "servant" us- ually meant '"'slave," the servants are led not to de their «masters, but to honor them. Mas- ders and servants should remem- ber that they are brethren in Christ, and treat rach other ac- cordingly. "Perverse disputing of men of {corrupt minds and destitute of | truth, supposing that gain is god- liness, from such withdraw thy- self," he writes. Paul knew that there was much disputing in Ephesus -- false doc- trines were being preached which might turn men's minds away from Christ and His redemption. Godliness is good -- '"'godliness with contentment is great gain," he writes. Coming into the world naked and helpless, we also go out of this world in the same condition, "hav- ing food and raiment let us be therewith content. "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 'For the love of money is the root of all evil; which, while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith and pierced them- selves through with many sorrows. "Bit thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after right- eousness, godliness, faith, leve, pa- tience, meekness. "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast pro- fessed a good profession before many witnesses." "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high- minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who |gaveth us richly all things to en- This conventional storey - and- a half home is a contempo- yary modification of the Cape Cod style.

The average wage-earner can af- ford to build or buy a home costing from 1% to 2% times his annual income, according to authorities who have studied the subject. If a prospective builder proposes to borrow the money, his monthly mortg¥ge payments plus taxes and insurance should not exceed 23 per cent of his monthly income. Twenty-three per cent is considered safe, and any expenditure above that is considered to be in the realm of a risk, or at least requ- ing extra sacrifice by the wage earner and his family. If you are going to build, decide first on the amount you can spend on a house. Consider your savings and plan accordingly. Determine the amount of savings you have for a down payment. Enquire into the approximate monthly costs of taxes, insurance and maintenance. You will require fire and hazard insurance to pro- tect the property. Consider the maintenance and 'wepair of the house as one of thegmonthly costs of home ownership from the very beginning. The house should be large en: ough to fit present and future re- quirements, and provision should be made for ultimate additions and improvements. You will be hap piest in a community where you have friends, or where your neigh- bors have interests and live in circumstances similar to your own. Weigh Expenditures First If You Are Buying Home Build for the future, so that your property increases in value. Parks and playgrounds in the vicinity will add to the value of your pro- perty, and the other facilities and utilities ' of the neighborhood are important. Before paying for your are well paved and well lighted after dark. As far as possible they should be free from through traf- fic but still accessible to main traf- fic arteries. When you start planning a new home, visualize your family living in it. Make a list of your require- ments and figure out just how many rooms you need. A plan which calls for a few lare~ areas is usually. preferable. Some rooms doing double duty is the modern idea of house construction. For instance, the dining area in- corporated with the living room is more, economical in space and money than two separate rooms. It is easier to maintain an area of silence by grouping the bedrooms together. A play or work room doubling as a guest room is a valu- able asset to any house. ed together eliminates unnecessary plumbing, and saves cost. A false saving is that which provides for steep or winding stairways. They are usually dangerous. The above are points to talk over with your builder or architect when Lou are budgeting for your new ome. Plenty of Bears Seen [n District of Soo SAULT STE. MARIE--The Soo is suffering a plague of bears, according to protests from resid- ents to the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests District Office. Not since 1942 have they been so numerouw, yet, oddly enough, the spring bear hunt was not a suc- cess. Foresters from Ranger Lake who were called to Mine Lake to bring out a tourist with a broken leg were particularly annoyed by joy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life." Is this a difficult lesson for chil- dren to learn? I think not. The teacher has excellent material here to teach the children to think of others and to share with tem and so learn to be unselfish. Not the possession of money or treasures is harmful, but too great love of money and the hoarding of it is sinful and brings nothing but misery. , Contracting and Repairs To STUCCO WORK PLASTERING LATHING Ornamental Work a Specialty 161 MILL ST.

Pisko writes in Christian Science Monitor. The frontal attackers have the slogan "Back to Hitler" emblazon- ed on their banners. Their barely camouflaged guns are trained on every single democratic institution, especially Parliament. SCORN PARLIAMENT Their opinion of parliamentary democracy was tersely expressed in a recent issue of Der Weg (The Way), one of the leading Nazi magazins which is published in Argentina and smuggled into West Germany in large numbers. 'The parliamentary system," wrote a certain Henri Lebre in an article entitled "The Nonsense of Parlia- mentarism," 'represents hypocrisy and cheating. It gives freedom on- ly to the nation's worst elements." Thirty years ago, Hitler could have used identical words. In this fact lies the weakness of the front- al attackers' mthod -- it is too reminiscent of Hitler and what he brought about. It may impress the comparatively few Germans who do not need to be convinced, but it hardly appeals to the much larg- er group of Gemans who have been looking for more rational means to restore their self-respect A ed hurt by the collapse of This is where the "Unterwander- ers" (infiltrators) come in. They assume the protective coloring of an unobjectionable patriotism or work through persons of known nationalist views but without an embarrassing Nazi record. They do not say openly, '"'See how much better it was under Hitler!" but they use such emotion-charged is- sues as the "German soldier's hon- or" or responsibility for the defeat or the war-criminal question to lure people over to their side. ENDORSE CRIMINALS. They already have succeeded in forcing nearly all the other parties to fall in with their demand for the release of all war criminals. This demand can be heard in ev- ery possible form, ranging from crude demagoguery to seemingly dispassionate scholarliness. On the lower end of the scale is former Panzer Gen. Hermann B. Ramcke who last October, declar- ed that the Americans were the end is August von Knieriem, chief attorney of the I. G. Dye Trust and author of the book 'Nurn- berg." In his book Herr von Knieriem contended' that the Third Reich real war criminals. On the other | Neo-Nazis Found In Two Forms was no "criminal state" because it "comprised wide functions that were exercised in a normal and The | correct manner." This is almost like sayi Gestapo Chief Heinrich H could not be held responsible for the gas chambers of Auschwitz be- cause he was known to be kin dogs and canaries. An extensive review, published in the widely read Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on May 12, quoted from the book's preface a statement by Pope Innocent I who, in 414 A.D., had argued that 'one cannot proceed against a people (for its crimes)" and had asked that the past be left to a higher judge. Apparently neither the au- thor nor the reviewer saw that this attitude was adopted by the western powers several years ago. NO 'COLLECTIVE GUILT' Nowadays, nobody speaks of a "collective guilt" of the German people. The war criminals still in prison have been sentenced be- cause they were proved to have participated in specific criminal acts. That even West Germany's lead- ing Democrats are ,carried away by the Nazi-sponsored movement in favor of war criminals was seen recently when Chancellor Konrad Adenauer paid a visit to the war criminal prison at Werl. The week- y Aufwarts, organizers of the Ferman trade union youth, com- pared the chancellor's visit to ""Germany's loss of a battle." By now it no longer is a judicial issue what happens to the war criminals. These people--altogeth- er a few hundred--have become pawns in a political struggle. The cry for tHeir release is not to serve the cause of justice but the cause of a deliberate distortion of history, similar to the circulation of the "stab-in-the-back" myth after World War 1, according to which the Kaiser's army remained undefeated in the field but was betrayed by revolt on the home front. Should the clamor for release of the war criminals succeed, it will be easy to persuade the masses that the freeing of these men was not an fact of clemency," but an admission by the western powers that no war crimes were commit- i ted. This is the keystone in the new myth building. Once the ugly spot of "mass murder in the first de- gree" has been removed from the Nazi record, rewriting of the en- tire history of the years 1933-45 will offer few serious problems.

PHONE 3-2269 OSHAWA Downward Cycle Has Begun Again, Partridge Scarce TORONTO -- Possibility that partridge, or ruffed ,. are on the downward cycle is seen by re- search officials of the Ontario De- partment of Lands and Forests. Partridge increase to tremendous numbers over a ten-year period, they say, then, at the end of the cycle, slowly die out until almost exterminated, only to rebuild their numbers again and again. Scientific studies have shown that hunting has practically no ef- fect; if they aren't shot, they die off through the mysterious disease which decimates the flocks. To determine what it is that kills them, the Division of Fish and Wildlife is carrying on extensive research programmes. A number of birds have been placed on Beck- with Island on Georgian Bay, be- lieved to be disease and parasite- free. Their fi and other ha- bits are being studied there. Strangly enough, there seem to be "small islands" in some parts of Ontario. where the cycle appears to get out of step with other local ities. Birds may be plentiful *in these islands while scarce a few miles away. Whether climate, food or habitat is the cause, scientists are trying to learn. ~rN Bemetilal You will be amazed at the wonderful transformation a Quikbrik finish will give your house.
