During World war 1 Herbert Harris won a battle- field commission and discovered that the real winning combination was one of touahness --with rev- er. Mr. Harris. now pmiden of Perfume oharbert, is a. pationaly prominent perfume manufacturer and producer of the prise-winning play "All My Sons".

All any life i’ve been aoutoly sen- sitive to adore. once. when»! was about five, I was taken to a flower show. They tell me I stood stock still, closed my eyes end breathed in rapture.

"God must smell like that." I said. ’

It explains exactly how I feel so often-‘God must smell like that-- the/t'.s God's fragrance. -

My big sister. Rose, brought me up. I was the son of an elderly couple, and when our mother died. Rose. who was already married and a mother, took me in. she and her famous husband, Lew Fields, the great comedian, raised me with their two sons and two daughters. Rose was sister and mother to me, and I don't think it was an easy nssignment.

Because I had a marked . spouse to everything beautiful. converse- ly, I set out to be tough. And I was tough. I was bat boy for the Giants. and no- honor or distinction or success I may have earned In I llfetime could top the thrill oi cas-

_ual I-ii-ya-boy intimacy with such

heroes as John Mccraw. Christy Mathewson,_ Roger Breznehan. Rube Marquard, and Al. Bridwell.

A Tree \

That and one other thing sticks out in childhood for sheer triumph. I was allow York City boy from start to finish, and I love New York like monkeys love peanuts. Up on both street is a tree I planted when I was 12 years old. I dcn’t think there's any other tree as beautiful asthet one in all the world. it grew along with me, and l visit it regularly.

when I'm low or discouraged. I go and commune with that tree and all that Joyce Kilmer felt and meant flows through me. only God canm e atree. but wbenlwass. kid I h lped film put one in a city. He and I take--care of that tree, too.

It's odd the close feeling I had to God from my earliest childhood. But I had my own deal with God way book and kept it. The Bible lines which I took as personal xuides are: Not slothiul in busi- ness; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord: and The greatest of these is Charity. But this letter has always seemed too easy There is so much healinggso many untold blessings. and such great returns in giving. that I often wonder where the spiritual benefit is. It's practical as well as thrilling. and -haze la the nobility in that?

A Miracle

Well. God and I badour under- standing, and I steered clear of all religious matters beyond ‘that. I saw so menyzkinds of religions and thev aii seem vrood. but I couldn‘t understand why it was furiously important that this church or that creed was It. I rrew up of Jewish faith. and revere those who tru'y

~The word miracle is one of those tint nukes me uneasy. It effects are like the word "ghosts" or u.plfluu' . It was in France in the first world war. A lieutenant at the time. I was bivouacked in a little village outside of Verdun with eighteen men out» off from everything--news or six --while an offensive was ‘is ed. The Germans were com- ing closer and closer; we were be- tween them and the town, and we felt this time we were goners. Toward dawn .I found in my pocket aietter from my sister Rose, which. Ivhadntt found time, to open. Iread it then. My sister seemed to feel I was in great danger. and she wantod me to know that her pray- ers were surrounding me with pro- tection and that she ‘had others praying for me. I glanced at the others, in the room. They were hag- gard, scared. They hadn't eaten in twenty-four hours.

“A Refuge and Fortress"

my sister quoted from the Bible: "I will saygof the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him will I trust. I-lis tnith shall be my shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that fiieth by day; Nor for the pestil- ence that‘ walketh in darkness. nor for the dpstruction that wast- eth at noonday.

"A" thousand shall fall at thy side. and ten thousand at‘ thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee."

I folded the letter and put it in- side my shirt. I wasn't fearful any longer. I turned to the men and asked: “Did you ‘see that letter I was reading? Keep your chin lip. Nothinire going to harm us, be- cause we‘re being prayed for right this minute. If you guys here have a prayer in you, I'd suggest you pitch in and help."

One man lying in a comer, spoke up with a big foghorn voice: "The Lord be with us."

"Amen," I said, for the first time in my life out loud. The whole roomful repeated it solemnly. come to love that word; Amen, or so be it. It's my favourite prayer.

l Complete Horror

We had barely finished when‘ the big guns tore loose. The next five hours were complete indescribable horror, made doubly so because we were so helpless. I couldn't believe such annihilation possible. nor such noise or smells. The devil must smell like that.

Not until mid-morning did we realize that the "Allies were busier than the Boche, who started to fall back about that'time. I saw the village church crurnple like a child's’ toy, the buildings nearby in smoking ruins. - ' I don't know why I looked at my watch. It was 12. "Destruction at noonday." Rose had written. If ever a prophecy was timed that was it. Not one scratch was on any of the 19 of us there. Nothing in our quarters was disturbed or touched. It was as if a circle had been drawn around our house and, barn and the rest of the town wiped out.

Nobody ever again had to con- vince me of the power of prayer. The mystery is how people can say prayers matter-of-factfy, or ab- sentmindedly It's too potent and dynamic to approach lightly.

great tidal power development in the world by harnessing the tides with dams at the junction of the estuaries of the Petitcodiu: and Memramoock Rivers near Dorches- tor. N. B. ' '

The second report mentioned by Mr. Winters is the basis of revival. it was made by w.A.B. Melsnson, a Monoton ‘ . and it con- tends that more than 2,140,000 commercial horsepower can be ob- tained by building the "barriers" some 10 miles downstream from the original site, at the confluen-.e of Bhepody Bay and Cumberland Basin. ,

Mr. Melanson says the original proposal was defeated by two ad- verse physical features, existence of no feet of silt, mud and gravel in the beds of the estuaries of the two rivers and the fact that tile tgo estuaries were so different in s e.

On the contrary, he says, the so- called st. Mary's site provides “a series of land masses surrounded by relatively large bodies of tidal waters so as to form the greatest natural site in the world for a large tidal power development" that could provide power for all three Maritime Provinces.

4. Dentists: Bevan may try to make another reduction in the fees of Britain’: 10.000 dentists, whose earnings are roughly equival- ent to the fixed sum of £4.x.ooo.ooo yearly split among t country's 20.000 family doctors.
