It is usually empty except for the motorman. This is the end of the line, the southern end of West Berlin, the end of free- dom. It also is the beginning of the wall that divides Berlin, the closely-guarded line of concrete and rusty barbed wire with which the Communists pen in 1,200,000 East Berliners. Bushes and trees east of the wire have been cleared to give the people's police, the Vopos, a good field of fire against any- one bold enough to try climbing the wire. Fruit trees were cut down. A mile north through the roll- ing countryside and the stacked wheatfields, the barbed wire comes up to Koepenicker- strasse. A six-foot concrete wall topped with barbed wire stretches across the road. Then the line of barbed wire posts follows the Teitow Canal { For a while, the canal is framed by small gardens.

DOORS BRICKED UP The line follows the S Bahn (Berlin railway) briefly, then makes a sharp turn to swallow up large blocks of apartments in East Berlin. At Harzer- strasse, apartments formerly had doors leading into the West. They are bricked up now, also the windows on the ground floor. The side streets are sealed ff with concrete walls. West Berliners shout insulting names at the Vopos, often young boys who blush and with- draw. The wall runs along the Land. wehr Canal, then swings sharply left along the Soree River.

Even the subway entrances are bricked up. At Brandenburg Gate the once proud monument is disfigured by barbed wire, its columns ringed with police and soldiers. Nobody passes through the Brandenburg Gate. The wall now wanders through a welter of railroad yards, internal harbors and reaches subdued Bernauer- strasse. All buildings on the southern side of the street are in Communist East Berlin. The colorful little shops on the ground floor have long been closed. Now their doors and windows are bricked up. Half the congregation of the Versoehnungs Church on the wrong side of Bernauerstrasse came from West Berlin. The Reds put a 12-foot concrete wall in front of the church.

(CP)--In the height of the fur- trapping days fears were ex- pressed that the beaver, Cana- da's national emblem, might be threatened with extinction. Now they're running around by the thousands in Northern Ontario and trappers apparently are not working very hard to harvest them. The reason, says Charlie Cook, department of lands and forests conservation officer here, has more to do with laziness than declining fur prices. As an illustration he points to the experience of two Indian trappers and their families whom the department transfer- red last year from Moosonee on James Bay to Michipicoten Island in Lake Superior. The island, nine miles offshore and about 100 miles northwest of here, has long been noted as a beaver haven and the depart- ment didn't want to see a popu- lation explosion. HEALTHY INCOME In 100 trapping days spread from Oct. 15 to March 31, the Beaver Multiply As Trappers Lazy that netted them $14,000 at the May sales of the Ontario Trap- pers Association at North Bay. Prices ranged from $3 for baby beaver to $18 for prime pelts. A white trapper working in- dependently on the island got 122 beaver during the season and agreed with the Indians that despite the trapping pres- sure, there was no indication of a serious decline in the beaver population. The animals ap- peared to be as plentiful in the spiing as they had been in the all. Cook was asked why, if two trappers can earn $14,000 in a there aren't more pro- fessionals in the bush. "Laziness, just laziness," he said. In the Algoma district, he said, some trappers have gone into the business on a big scale and are using snow toboggans and aircraft to check their lines. PREFER COMFORT "These resourceful few are willing to trap for the season's 168 days, while the majority get and prefer to stay at hom during winter snows." Enough traplines have been registered in the district to take 7.836 beaver in a season. The last available report showed cnly 2,224 were trapped and dressed for sale. These figures indicate only a small proportion of the avail able beaver population is being harvest by trappers, Cook says. The department considers the Michipicoten Island experiment such a success that four trap- pers will be landed there this iall in hopes of duplicating the harvest. To get a clearer picture of the state of the beaver, the de- partment is planning an aerial survey of a type which has paid off for trappers in the past in other districts.

There are four sound reasons why every person services regularly and support They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his com munity and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ms terial support. Plan to go to church regulady and read your Bible daily.

The same ready cooperation is becoming characteristic of the work of our churches. A Church School teacher moves to another city. There is another earnest Christian to take over her class.
