A friend once took us for a mine through the district between Huntsville and Parry Sound. The was called for attention at every turn of the road. Often along the Koadside were rows of pines re- wmy planted, and by their rapid growth bringing new beauty and promise to the countryside.

A Canadian artist once said that. for his purposes, W6 White pine was the best of all trees. and we could appreciate his feel- mg as we saw them standing our against the horizon. They did not trim their branches to avoid the blast; instead they spread them o.ut.in all directions.

Not 0 did they defy the power of t 0 storm; they increased their strength by the elements which they withstood. They sent their roots more deeply into the mil to resist the tempest; their fibres as they grew took shwpes which developed their power of resistance; their leaves drew in from the air and their roots from the soil the substances by which ihey grew.

Their great branches provided shade from the heat and shelter from the storm. and birds and beasts alike turned to them for refuge. .

At every turn they reminded lill of the type of manhood for which the world is crying

someone has said that the real organism of the tree is under- ground; the growth whichlwe see tr like the tail of the animal wagging in the breeze. Every man's strength of character is found in the etc of his soul.

For any man to withstand the influence of the world and to move with steady tread toward life's ultimate aim. he needs to have his secret soul linked with the eternal realities and governed by the personal will of the living God. Then he will be a power in the affaire of the world around lizm.

The illustrations have all the color and sun tiveness of Isaiah's writing. and the truth they -set forth is the unlimited capacity of real manhood for service to the world. v Modern church history gives us examples of this type of manhood. cardinal Mercier's stand for the rights of his people against the German invaders in World War 1, Bishop Bergav'a leadership of the church in Norway during the Ger- man occupation in world war II, and Bishop Otto Dibelius' defence of the religious interests of East Germany against the, Communist tyranny of today are examples of the heroic manhood that no tenor CID move

The longing of men in ancient days was for rulers who would be Just and merciful in the exer- cise of their authority. and who would not only do right them- selves. but would establish Justice in the land. Such a man must be like the pine which resists the tempest and not" like the read which bends before every brecae.

Ontario does need public men who will stand firm on the moral iuues of the hour. This includes Toronto.

one thinks of Abraham Lincoln when slavery was being pushed into the newer states of the mid- dle wry. He had planned to re- tire from public life to take up private practice of his profession, but the advancement of that hateful business called him back to thelconflict that was steadily growing more bitter.

Other politicians were studying the popular currents of opinion on which they might ride into oalce: he committed himself to a great cause without regard to his polit- ical prospects. Like the pine tree, he gained strength from the pres- sures which he withstood; his character deepened and his inter- ests broadened with every battle that he fought

Now that attitude always car- ries with it the possibility of sec- rifice; the call of the hour is for men who would rather be defeated for the right than succeed by un- worthy compromise.

A community has to desarve such leaders before it will get them. Whygshould citiaena expect public men in risk a career for the public good unless they in private life stand for the right regardless of consequences and pledge their vote and influence to the cause?

It is always the indifference of good men that leads to the defeat of good causes. Evil men will do their utmost for their evil objects while citizens who would scorn their gains. Just let them go ahead with their schemes. The divine call is for action behind moral conviction in public affairs.

IN MEMORIAM

MR5. FBANK BDAOH

The death of Mrs. Frank Roach occurred at her home in Kelly's Gross on July 3rd, (in her film! year). after an illness of more than six months during which time she suffered considerably; but bore all her sufferings with great patience and Christian fortitude.

At the outset of her illness she was taken to the Charlottetown Hospital where she underwent a serious operation and received the beat in medical attention and skil- ful nursing. However, after about three months in hospital it being realized that nothing further could be done she, at her own request. was removed to her home in Kelly's Cross where she was tenderly cared for by her husband aided by pro- fessional nurses and kind neigh- bours during the remaining time

of her illness. Although it was known for a long time by her relatives and

friends that her illness was mortal. and that nothing could be done to save her, she herself was hopeful until the last: but nevertheless was resigned to Godls will and passed away peacefully fortified by the rites of the Holy Catholic Church administered by her pastor, the Rev. James Smith. who had freq- uently visited her and consoled her during her long illness.

The late Mrs. Roach, the former Etta Ti-alnor was born in Kelly's Cross. A daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Pat Trainor. she was the last surviving mombar of that fam- ily. four brothers: James P.. Levi. Bennett and Walter as well as three sisters. Georgina (Mrs. Flood). Ada (Mrs. Roach). and Charlotte (Mrs. Doiron) predeceased her some

Y9"! I80-

The lote Mrs. Roach remained at home for many years after the other member. of the family had left to take their place in the world. and tenderly cared for her father and mother during their declining years.

She had no children of her own; but besides her sorrowing husband she leaves a number of nieces and nephews who will long oheriah her memory. one of these is Mrs. Lee 3. Doyle who having lost her own mother in infancy found a second mother, in the person of Mrs. Roach. as kind and loving as her own mother could have been. I-fer favored nephew. Mr. Tommy Tralnor of Moncton. who made his home with her from early boy-hood until he entered the army in 1939, and who came from Moncton to at- tend her funeral, will be among the relatives who will miss her most.

The many acts of kindness to her during her illness, the unusually large number of cards, letters and message. of sympathy and more than a hundred mass offerings all testify in the character of the late Mrs. Roach and to the xesteem in whlchishe was held by all who knew her.

The funeral. which was under the direction of Mr. P. L. Monaghan of Kinkotra was held from her late home to St. Joseph's church in Kellyls Cross (on July lith) where Requiem High Mass was sung by the pastor Rev. Fr. Smith. The

all bearers were: Joe Kelly. Louis

agan. Freddie Matters, 3. J. Trowsdale. Windsor Bell and Mr. rlrarik Myers. M.I...A. The funeral was very largely attended by rel- stivea, friends and acquaintances from far and near. Interment took place in the parish cemetery.

May she Rest in Peace-Amen.

ANDOVER. N. B. (CF)-Potato growers from all part: of New Brunswick were told by agricul- ture experts Wednesday that only by adopting the latest production methods can they compete on the open market.

More than 800 growers are at-

tending a conference here ar- ranged by fhe plant protection and promotion branch of the provincial department of agriculture. It is the largest gathering of its kind ever held in the province. C. B. Sherwood. provincial min- ister of agriculture. stressed the importance of growing, storing, packaging. and shipping potatoes so they will reach buyers In the best possible condition.

Miss Laura Pepper. chief of the consumer section, federal depart- ment of a riculture. told growers that only the best products will be accepted by consumers. She said people will purhcase more New Brunswick potatoes if they are put up in clean attractive packages.

Strange But True

37 I. ll. MacArthur hie first calf born with the use of frozen semen that had been stored for 80 days at 105 degrees below zero, was born at the Ontario Veterinary College on August 24. 1053. It was aptly named 0. A. C. Frosty.

In a small Oklahoma newspaper there appeared one day a down-at the-heel farm house and badly washed and weed-grown fields. For the best essay on the dilapidat- ed place a small prize was offer-

' Q

It was won by an Indian who wrote: "Picture show white man crazy. Make big teepee. plow hill. Water wash. Windr blow top soil. Chase gone with the wind. Crops gone. Livestock gone. Squaw gone. Papoose too. Great spirit makes grass. Indian no low. Keep grass for buffalo to es . Buffalo feed Indian! Hide make tecpee, and moccasins too. Indians no have to lock for job. No ask for Old Age Pension or baby bonus. Indian make no terrace. No build useless house. No give dam. White man heap crazy."

Indeed. there may be some truth in' the radman'a essay judging by the way some farmers are burning out their soil by improper farming methods. And it is a well-known fact that the early Indiana knew more about conservation measures than the white man who pushed back his frontiers and laughed at his crude farming methods. We now know the full story of the ”plowman's folly," the wanton slaughter of beasts. birds and for- ests. No wonder the Indian could write "White Man heap crazy."

By not disturbing seriously the laws of nature the Indians lived a fairly leisurely and happy exist- ence. Today one must work or starve. Thls,i's the law and the penalty for which there is no es- cape. Millions are trying to evade it; some by letting George carry the heavy end of the stick. others by depending on money inherited or accumulated in fatter years. or governmcnt hand out and what not.

Potatoes grown under ' straw yield heavier crops according to Mr. Sterne. a Michigan farmer who's been growing his spuds this way for years.

First the ground is worked well. Then he uses a marker that sets the drills three feet apart. Into these drills the sets are placed two feet apart and covered by a very thin layer of soil to keep them in position. He then covers the sets to a depth of 10 inches with old straw. No cultivating was nec- essary and when the spud: ma- tured this farmer simply raked off the straw and picked up the potatoes, which now lay on the surface, looking as thought they'd been freshly washed. ”The result of this experiment." said the farmer. "wss an increase in yield from 185 bushels to the acre to 300 per acre for 1053. one of the poorest potato seasons that state has ever had.

Formerly a month meant the time of one revolution of the moon around the earth. equal to 29 days. 12 hours. 44 minutes and 3 seconds. Ten such months made a year in the time of Romulus, king of Rome. March was reckoned as the first month. The names of the 0 following months were the same as now. excepting July and August which were called Qulnteillis and Sextillls.

1,280,000,000 pounds of Ice were stored in the winter of I808 to sup- ply the inhabitants of New York city during the summer months of that year - an average of about 6 pounds per day for every man. woman and child. duirng the 0 summer months.

Both the male and female cat- bird have a call note which close- ly resembles the mowing of a cat, hence the name.
