was one of the rules the family had agreed upon because all of them at some time had gone to . work at the bench. and found things in a mess. Now this plan was working well.

Next day. when Shirley came in after school, she had a little lunch and then went down cellar to clean those paint brushes. She took them out of the water and poured coal oil into an empty bin, and worked them up and down. only the one that haifbeen in the paint was being cleaned-the oth- ers were stiff and sticky as before. She tried again and again. and then thought perhaps she should have used turpentine. So she clean- ed out the tin and poured in tur- pentine. But no use-they were still full of shellac. Now it wouldn't have been so bad if she had taken just .one brush for her own use, but she had loaned brushes to two other girls. When Dad had for- gotten to clean two he had to pay twenty cents. So there would be no doubt about her having to pay thirty cents. It would take a

SHIRLEY AND BRUCE GET READY FOR. THANKSGIVING

By Ruth Lucas Smith I I O

The Junior Boys and Girls were getting ready for Thanksgiving. The boys were planning a hike the Saturday before, and they would bring back coloured leaves and in- I teresting things from the bush for decorat em. The girls were busy at the church making ready suit- able containers. They painted some baskets that were looking a little shabby, and sorted out the large and small vases and- washed them. The group that Shirley belonged to was creating new vases. They collected suitably-shaped jars of different sizes, and from a number of magazines cut out bright-ooh oured pieces from tho advertise- ments, and pasted the little pieces all over the Jars. with paint they

Dad and Mum got home at the same time. Shirley had supper almost all on the table, and it -was no time until everyone was sitting down ready for a good meal and friendly chat. Right after grace Shirley made haste to explain what had happened. After they had listened intently, Dad said: "Well, Mother, what do you say to that; does she have to pay or doesn't she?"

Mother was all smiles and said. "I'll tell you before you worry about paying. Try alcohol."

"Alcohol," cried Shirley. "We haven't got any, have we? I I thought this family didn't use al- cohol." ' '

"No, we don't drink alcoholic beverages, but we have wood alcohol in our house. It is on the ltop shelf of our bathroom cup- iboard, with the untouchables. Itis l poisonous."

"Do you have to have a licence or permit to buy it?" asked Bruce.

"No; you need a license or permit to buy liquor or wines. which contain ethyl alcohol, but you buy methyl or wood alcohol in the drug store and sign your name. The drugglst has to keep a record of the people who buy poisons-in case they put them to wrong uses," said Mother.

"You see," said Dad. "shellac varnish is soluble in alcohol. With- out alcohol we wouldn't have such a beautiful finish on our table. Several things that will not dis- solve in water will dissolve in al- cohol."

"Well, alcohol isn't all bad is it?" said Bruce.

"By no means,” said Dad. "Al- cohol has six hundred good uses, but as a beverage it is dangerous. It is something like fire that can either warm a house or burn it 30 the ground. Alcohol used for right purposes is a wonderful servant of man. but it becomes an enemy if he drinks it."

"What else is alcohol good for?" asked Bruce.

"The bottle in the bathroom was bought when your grandmother was ill. We used a great deal oi it to rub on her back and keep the skin from breaking out in bed sores," Dad explained. "Alcohol is

(Read Genesis 3)

Have you decided yet on a life work? when you do. you will want the lust possible training so that you may become a good workman.

Genesis is a fascinating book. It tesches many lessons that are true to life today. If you read the third chapter you will see that it is very close to your own experience. sets forth the fact of choice. There is a difference between good and evil and we have to decide which;

we will choose. To make wise choices, we need discipline. We have to work out a standard of values for ourselves. This requires the exercise of reason and good rather than following film? and obeying impulses. Jesus gave us a good guide in making decisions. He said, "By their 1;-uits you shall know them."

Suppose that instead or the tree of knowledge of good and evii,you should consider the social custom of using alcohol as a beverage. You will have to make your indi- vidual choice about this. It should be your own personal decision. The temptation is to treat it lightly because social drinking can be made very attractive. But follow through. Drinking a toast in alco- hol may have glamour, but intoxi- cated people are not glamorous. They do silly things. When they sober up, they have feelings of guilt and remorse. They may have caused an accident or broken a friendship. What about the stand- ard of values? Judged by results, which is better, intoxication or so- briety?

God Put Man to Work

There is another big truth in the third chapter of Genesis. It stress- es the importance of work. It pic- tures man "as placed in charge of a. garden.

Now God's garden is the jungle, the uncut forest, the plain abound- ing.in fruits and roots and berries, with animals and fish at hand to be caught and eaten. All that primitive man had to do was pick or kill, and eat. However, there was some uncertainty. some years food was plentiful. Other years it was scarce. The best areas were always overcrowded and there was fighting for these areas.

Then came knowledge. Man dug up a plant from God's garden and planted it near his own home and kept other plants away. And when the fruit came it was bigger and better than in the wild state. Knowledge led him out of God's garden into his own. He also caught a pair of animals and fed them so that they might provide food and help him with his work. As time went on. others followed suit. until today wild life provides a very small part of our diet, the exception being fish. Since that time man has learned many skills until today he exchanges all kinds of goods and services for food and clothing and the luxuries and necessities of life. using money as a medium of exchange. This means that instead of every man shifting for himself. every man and woman has now become necessary to ev- eryone else. our system is like the motor of an auto. If something goes wrong with a spark plug or even a wire. it throws the whole thing out of commission so that it runs badly or not at all. More than ever before we are dependent upon every person doing his best.

Alcohol Reduces Efficiency

Suppose you should go to a gar- age and say, "I want to buy a spark plug,” and the salesman should reply, "Here is a new one but it's too good. Let's bend the points a little so it will not work quite so well." You would be an- gry. would you not? Yet that is what alcohol does to Pe0PI9- 0” the whole it prevents them from working quite so well as they would otherwise. At nrst its effects may not be very noticeable. but the more a man drinks. the more it interferes with his work. If he be- longs to the unfortunate five per cent. for whom drinking means complete loss to! control, he will be unable to carry on any sustain- ed effective work at all.

Unless he has someone to sup- port him. he will probably drift to the slum area of our great cities or wander through the countryside looking for a hand- out. And remember, the person! who end up this way Ire not I!" ways these who never had an op- portunity to start with. They often include doctors. lawyers. and other educated. even brilliant men who might have lived respected and highly honoured lives were It not for alcohol. when a man start! drinking he is taking a one to twenty chance of ending up thus.

Alcohol Canes boas

In a survey, Dr. Benson Y. Lan- dis estimated that in 1940 the in-

direct cost of alcohol to the people

of the United Sttaes about equal- led the amount'of taxes paid b! the liquor industry. Sir. Josiah Stamp. noted British economist. has estimatcrl that the wealth of Great Britain is reduced by eight to fifteen per cent. because of liq- uor. Certainly an industry which

".takes from a nation in damage

alone as much as it pays in taxes. is not very profitable to the nation. It doc::n't do much more than pay

for the damage it does.

When a boy or girl breaks a nine of aim we say. "Replace it. Pay for the damage." But we do not say, "So long as you pay you may break every twentieth pane, and if you crack others it's all rlgh ." If we feel the act was fit- ful we demand of the child and his parents that he be not allowed to break any more glass. As you boys and girls grow older you will have to decide whether an industry has a right to profit at so great a, cost to the nation even if it pays the damages.

This is not to mention the huge I Bum! Iivent on liquor which would normally be spent for necessities. A pane of glass can be replaced much more easily than a. broken life. Yet we must remember that the industry will thrive so long us People clamour for liquor. Nor will the Government prevent or control its use so long as the majority of older people insist on having it. There is only one way to overcome this menace to the nation. AB- STAIN from its use. Even if you should be able to control your drinking there are those who will not be able to do so. If you choose not to drink perhaps they will too, BY abstaining you will help your- self and save them.
