1 4 time from the threatened en-
croachment Of undesirable and OBJ

outspoken terms during the four days
Of hearings before the Senate District
Subcommittee last week on the King
Norton anti-nuisance bill.
From public officials engaged in
carrying forward the desired develop
ment Of the Federal City and from
citizen witnesses, The Star yesterday
obtained expressions in common indi-
cation that their prime motive in
supporting the pending legislation is
to have local zoning keep pace with
the trend Of civic progress. Reviewing
testimony and charges made by
slaughter house representatives at the
hearing. the common idea prevailed
that the King bill, instead Of being
aimed at single industry, sought
control Of all those Of the nuisance
type by replacing discretionary coming
regulation with legislative prohibi-
tions
Various witnesses and others closely
interested in the move to put teeth
in recently overhauled zoning resula-
tions were in accord in agreeing that

The bill is adequate to cover an
existing situation, which under pre-

Because Of this second and more i'm
portant feature Of the bill, it has
been misunderstood and misinter-

to restrict or eliminate any one par
ticular industry, but covers broad
field Of nuisance industrial operations
I'VE should all remember that not
long ago cattle were pastured within

comparatively few years back a rail-
way station was located in the Mall.
We can now see in these areas the
benefits Of intelligent legislation and
comprehensive planning, even though
at the time the changes and improve

nority was loud in opposition. It is
my firm conviction that the same
principles, intelligent legislation and

city for many years to come"

Since our Lord Jesus spoke of God
as "the God of Abraham, and the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob" and
the psalmist says, "The God of Jacob
is our refuge" we ought to know some
thing about Jacob in order to know
our God as we should.
At Bethel-the House of God
Jacob needed very much to be re-
made before God could make much
use of him as channel for his bless
ings for all nations. Jacobs name
means "Supplanter" and he lived
down to the level of his name in the
intrigue and deceit by which he sup
planted his brother Esau in the mat
ter Of his birthright. AS result he
had to flee from Esau's wrath and
go to Paden-Aram, his mothers old
home, $50 miles away The distance
seemed to Jacob much farther, be-
cause he had no idea that God would
follow him to SO distant place. En-
route to this God forsaken place" as
he considered it, Jacob dreamed he
saw heaven opened to him with a lad
der extending from where he lay up
into the heavens, and with angels as
cending and descending upon it. His
God was not confined to his own
country, but was with him on this
journey, and heaven was friendly to
him despite his unworthiness. God
reiterated to him the promise made
his fathers, "In thee and thy seed
shall all the families of the earth be
| blessed" SO Jacob called the place of
) this religious experience. Bethel
meaning House of Cod" saying,
Surely, the Lord is in this place; and
| knew it not. This is none other but
the house of God, and this is the gate
J Of heaven" Our Lord likens himself
to that ladder as Gods means of con-
Meeting earth with heaven and pro-
viding us "the way" without whom
no man cometh unto the Father.

Whales, walrus and fur were the topics of the day, then, with the Arctic seas dotted with sailing craft and steam craft.

 Whaling was my first love, admitted Brewer. Tn the latter part of the 1880's we were getting $6.50 a pound for whalebone, shoot ing them from oomiaks in the brok- en ice"
 In ordinary figures, that means lthat every time a fair whale was shot, it meant $10,000 or $11,000 in the pocket, and there were a lot of whales in those days. It explains why Brewer never got the gold fe- yer"
