Children are most in- teresting, even fascinating, and the father who deprives himself of the Joys of their formative years in cheating both himself and his family.

If you can possibly make your mate see this angle of home life. Marcia. he may get over beina so bored. Encourage him to teach the children things, to take them

on little expeditions around the city so he'll become better ac- quainted with them. Right now

you seem to have too much to do to go in for personality cours- es and the like, but perhaps you could inveigle Dad into baby-sit- ting while you take a course at the Y. W. C. A., or at one of the colleges in your city. Better still, hire a baby sitter one night a week and take hubby along. Then make a determined effort to be pleasant to your neighbors; ask some of them in for an evening of TV, cards, or best of all, just good conversation. Your home life undoubtedly does need a bit of spiking, and it's up tu you to make the friends.

"TAKE THE HIGH. GROUND" AT CAPITOL 'l'HEATRl'Z SUMMERSIDE

-Take a group of typical Amer- ican youngsters from Texas, the Kentucky coal mines, the Chicago loop, a Kansas. farm, California, and move them into the Army into the hands of a. couple of harncned, professional sergeants. Sixteen weeks later, you will have a group of infantry men who have become the greatest weapon in the world- the foot soldier made of guts, brains and a. 9.5 rifle.

”Take the High Ground!" M-G-M's stirring drama, now showing at the capitol Theatre, ,with Richard Wldmark at the head of a compelling, almost all- maie cast, tells the story of these youngsters and their rugged train- ing and how they learn and come to believe in the basic infantry rule of "Take the High Ground and Hold lt."

Revealing the disparate back- grounds of an assorted group of raw recruits, among them a gang- ling Texas, a raw-boned Louisiana former, a California playboy, a Kentucky coal miner, s cocky Kansan, a Chicago Negro, 1 Mom, ana Indian, and unfolded with typical gripes, gags and G. I. hu-

. mor, this is the story of their day-

to-day grind, their initial hatred turning into appreciation for the ruthless mentor who turns them into professional soldiers, and the mental and physical training which moulds the peaceful civilian into the deadliest fighting machine on earth.

A:B. under the auspices of the Lacor- daire and St. Jeanne D'arc Move- ment. Mr. Joseph Gaudct of Wei-

lington acted as chairman. Pre- sent at the meeting 'were: Mr. Alyre Arsenault. president; Jo-

seph E. Gallant, regional presi- dent; Mrs. Lea Bernard, presi- dent of St. Jeanne D'Arc mem- bers, and Mr. Leo Bernard; also Rev. Charles Gallant, curate at Egmont Bay and Moderator of the movement and Rev. Jean Buote, Mont Carmel, who spoke on the differences between edu- cation and instruction.

In order to carry out the terms of Clause III between the Society and the Mission, the Baptist Board secured the services of Rev. L. Neil Vickerson and his wife. who arrived in Bolivia on Octo- ber 4, 1923. Mr. Vickerson. whose home was at Lake Verde, P. B. Is- land. had taken two years in Agriculture at the Nova Bcotla Agricultural College, and had gruf- uated from the Ontario Agricul- tural College with a B.S.A. in 1823. He had also worked at the Expert- mental station, Charlottetown, P. E.I., where his ability end faith- ful servloe were greatly appreciat- ed. Hc had all the qualifications for e difficult Job, but he was unable to begin the work. Death from peritonitis on February 2, 1924, took him, four months after his arrival in La. Pan, and while he was engaged in language study. Rev. Alexander Haddow described his decease as: "a staggering blow to the whole mission, and especi- ally to the Farm enterprise." Mr. Vickerson's last words were: "God will bless my wife. I want all the people in Ontario and Prince Ed- ward Island to know that I died for Christ." He was buried in the Le Pas cemetery, near Antonio Chiriotto. They both gave their lives in the service of a vision that has since been partly attain-

ed, with the publication of the New Testament in the Aymara language. 0 0 I Rev. A. H. Piuminer end his

wife demonstrated that the farmer and the evangelist could be com- bined ln the one person at the Farm, from 1925 - 1930, and that the .droam of Antonio Chiriotto could be realized. Mr. Plummer was a graduate in Agriculture from the University of British Columbia. He used dykes to check erosion, and irrigation to increase production. He introduced oats that grew to a height of six feet. In 1926 he reported that there was more land ilnder cultivation on the farm than ever before. In 1927 he fattcned pigs and raised vegetables: the cows produced e- nough milk to supply the needs of the farm. When on furlough, in 1931, Mrs. Plummer died sudden- ly in Vancouver, and Mr. Plummer did not return to Bolivia, so the Mission was again without a train- ed agrlculturist.

Even with the great improve- ments in the bulldinge and in the use of the land while Mr. Plum- mer was there, the directors of the Peniel Hall Society were frankly. mystified that all was not well at the Farm. They forward- ed a statement to the Board that the Farm Indians had organized resistance to those in charge by refraining from sending their children to school or church. There was a vague dissatisfaction in the relation between the owners and the Indians. The Society thought thet this might be due to the practice of whipping, the custom- ary method used to maintain law and order. They therefore abolish- ed this punishment that had ex- isted for centuries, but this did not overcome the dissatisfaction. Rev. F. F. Bennett and Rev. 1-1. B. Wintemute, during their per- iods in charge of the work, came the conclusion that it was a deep-seated instinct for freedom that was held by the Indian peons, who felt that any landholder was a usurper of their possessions, their lands. They feared institutions. improvements, etc. and thought these only added up in favour of the landholder. The outstanding improvements that were noted by the La. Pee preu end others, con- cerning the tranaformetion of the Indian homu and the beautiful Spanish-style church edifice, in- dicated the ending of the old or- der. Mr. wintemute -had proposed payment of just wages to all is-
