"Much Gain Cometh Forth"

How a Biblical pa‘. ,lrcc_v nus realized is told in the following news ‘wry front an Arnerictrn exchange:

In September 1940, .\-Ir. Clifton I. Robinson, l young student . Irr‘, preaching at 'l‘ecum- seh, .\lich., tool; n. .; s ri-xr, "Yerily, verily, l say truto vou, t‘.\k'\'||1 a grain of wheat fall into

the ground and die, it aliidctir alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."

A Tecumseh mi .\lr. l‘t'rrv llayden, in- vited the stirdvirt minister" his home after the service, and rider-d h-nv the text ntight be demonstrated

The first harvc~r was titht-d, 1-10 going to the church, and .\lr. llaydcrr replanted nine- tenths of the crop 0n a J4-by-60 plot on Mr. Ford's experimental farm. The third ycar the crop covered an acre. the fourth 16 acres, and last year 330 acres were plxrntctl.

This year, all} farmers in Michigan and northern (Ilhii) rook part in the final planting of the biblical wheat ovcr 2,6116 acres.

The expected Iooawoo-bushel yield will be dis- Jibuted for world fanrirre relief.

Drama On The Sea

The same sense of drama, of high adventure end romance which draws Canadian boys to the navy and nrerchant nrzrrine, says the (ilolw and Mail, has been stirred by the case of the SS. American liarntcr, derelict prize of thc North Atlantic.

Several days ago lbc ;\rtteric:rn Farther, load- ed with grain for ’-1'it.'rin. was in a collision at sea and was abanilirtred by l1er' crew. She stay- ed afloat, however, and not long after was taken in tow by the little liritisb freighter" lilizabetc, out from (lct>r_g'<’to\\'r1, I‘.l*..l., with a cargo of pilprops. which jiickt-d up the stricken vessel 700 miles off Land's lind. .\ few hours later, on wirelcsserl orders front her owners, the SS. American Ranger, sister ship of the Farther, hove in sight and put hcr own salvage crew aboard.

To add further flavor to the scene, the U.S. desifltycr" Perry stood by and overhead circled g Royal Air Force patrol bomber. Neither military craft took any part in the dispute which broke out between the llritish and .\tncricatr seamen, The llritish crew left apparently with- out much ‘more than verbal rcsrifatrce, and the Americans sailed the limping Farmer into Falmotrth.

From here the llldllCl’ goes into the hands

0f the British .\dmiraltv Court, where con- testing claims will bc heard and appropriate award-s nradc. Inasmuch as the value of the

American l'"arurei' and her cargo is estimated at $4,;0o,oo0, and that substantial :r\v:rrds may b8 made to the British si-ammr _wbo tool; part in the

salvage, the anxir-ix‘ of the lilizabetcks crew ovcr their prize is uurlerdandable. lzqually‘ so that of the .\nu " lll wwunen, though their

tactics mav not have been too commcrttlciblc. International salvage law states that ottce a vessel is illlillllltllilWl by her crew, either at sea 0r in port, she is .~(ll\" '. The first ship t0 false her to safety has t m upon her. It is stipu- lated that [lug prupet'l\' involved must be in (lau- gen m- m lgflgl in .1 "iirrzillnll of difficulty and reasonable apprclrr-rrsiorr." It is tirade clear, however, that "inr-ffccrtral efforts" at salvage “do pot give rise to .'r claim." The American seamen claim that [he little irirish freighter was incapable of handling the stricken American Farmer. The British crcwmcn 100k Upon l!

differently. , There are many facts to salvage law. For example, no ship. and understandably so, can

be salvage by its own crew". Nor can a tug employed to tow a (l-zunzrged ship to port claim salvage rights. liut any vessel \\'ltlClI assists in any way in a salvage tipcration has a claim. In the other direction, any crcw which shows "a grasping attitude" toward salvage usually has its Claim considerably lowered. And salvflZe awards are graded according to the risk en- tailed. ' _ _

As the ship has bccn taken to a British I10"- [he matter is entirely uud-cr British jurisdiction. It can be expected that the Admiralty Court, wise in the ways of the sea and with many hun- dreds of legal precedents on which tobasle its judgment, will dcal with the case oblcrltvflt‘. and to the satisfaction of both contesting intim-
