The fact that the Thirty Years
Ago column in this paper is so
favorably commented upon by so
many people. has brought about
the realization that there might
be some who would like to re-
view some Of the social events
that occurred at the beginning
Of this column under the pres
ent editor eleven years ago. So
from time to time there will ap-
pear an item from the cOrre-
spending week in the year 1929.
This week the one chosen is as
follows: with the departure on
Monday of Mr., and Mrs. C. Har-
rington Heisler for their dis
tant home in Warsaw, Poland,
and the marriage of Mrs. Mia
Morris to Mr.. William C. Smith
on Saturday, the social affairs
will assume an even tenor again.
The charming Mrs Heisler will
be missed. and her new friends
in Milford will look forward
with much pleasure to her next
visit to the States. We are fortu-
nate in having Mrs. Smith still
a member of our social circle"

at some time there is
not low ebb in the
financial side of their business.
II is nothing unusual. nor is
there any dlshonor about it. Il
just happens. until an individual
or group Of persons come to the
rescue. bringing easier circum-
stances for those who were in
vOlved. This is all by the way
of saying that the Faithful Circle
Of Kings Daughters are appeal
ing for aid for the work that
must be carried on for the re-
naming months Of winter Finan-
cial help has been given by the
members themselves. by inter-
ested friends and by the Town
Council. but the calls have been
so numerous and persistent that
the treasury is almost depleted.
Many families are helped for a
period until the breadwinner
can get we'll, or until work is
found. other families must be
helped through the cold weather,
or until the snow is gone, still
others have TO have aid all of the
time. This calls for food every
week, coal or wood now and
then. and clothing when It is
needed. II takes money to do
any of these things. Social ef-
forts on a large scale are carried
on by the hospital and other or
ganizations. The Kings Daugh-
ters have felt that smaller things
or private donations were with
in their scope. So again they
are asking for help in any size
contributions to further their
work. Large amounts will be
appreciated, but small amounts
will be gratefully accepted.
This is the one town where most
Of the charity is kept within the
limits Of a very faithful organi-
zation.

Safety before danger covers the land;
He wants to introduce you to His
ravens before famines and plaques
reign as King; He wants you to know
the secret of His shelter before the
clouds hide the sun and the sky be
seen no more.
Through the thunders of judgment
He wants you to hear the whispers of
Heaven saying, "Come Unto Me All
Ye That Are Weary and Heavy Laden
and I Will Give You Rest"-I have
told My Father about you and He has
promised Me that if you will accept
Me, believe on Me and turn from your
evil ways-He will withhold His anger

wrath.

Bees Are Quite Choosy
About Their Flowers

The honey bee chooses flowers
more carefully than do humans, for
she refuses to mix her favors, says
the National Geographic society.
When she starts slipping from one
variety of blossom, she will fly for
miles if necessary seeking others of
the same variety, so that the honey
will be pure. This strict selective-
ness of insect diet gives the world
some distinctive honey, such as the
Greek honey of Mount Hymettus and
the American brands favored with
star thistle or purple alfalfa or tulip
tree blossoms.
The bee that has acres of blooms
which she prefers within easy reach
naturally fattens the honeycomb
more quickly than the insect with
only an area of assorted wildfowers
available. Clover is the principal
raw material for the honey makers
in the United States.
California, where the American
honey tide rises highest, encourages
the bee with fragrant orange and
sage blossoms. Michigan and Ohio,
however (the states next in honey
production) have miles and miles of
clover for their bees to drink. Iowa
and New York are also chiefly clo-
yer states, but their hives produce
such variations as raspberry and
buckwheat honey. Texas turns it's
bees out to feast on cotton bios
SONS and mesquite, with results that
place the state among the half a
dozen largest honey producers.
The bee is a tidy little European
immigrant that has made good in
the United States. Her secret for
mula for making sugar from flowers
is ages older than mans way of ex-
tracing it from cane or beets.
Egyptians are supposed to have do
mesticated the insect. During Old
Testament times the bee was well
established in the business of max
ing honey.

U. S. Battleships Cost More

The United States gets only a
little more than half as much for
the money it spends for warship
construction as Japan gets for
similar amount; and only a little
more than two-thirds as much as
Great Britain gets. So states the
United States News. If each of the
three nations were to set aside $780,
100000 for a ship, the U. S. could
construct one of $4,000 tons; Great
Britain, one of $4,000 tons; and
Japan, one of 1000 tons.
The chief reasons for the wide
disparity in costs per ton are the
varying costs of labor and raw ma
terials. Japanese workers are en-
ployed 10 or II hours a day, and
they work six days a week. The
eight-hour day, to which the Amer
lean laborer is now accustomed, is
not known in Japanese shipyards.
Since last September Is, the Jap
anese government has controlled
ship construction prices by edict.
In Great Britain, the costs are
also much lower, although the diff
ferences are not so great as they
are between the U. S. and Japan.
British labor costs the government
from 20 to 80 per cent less than
American labor costs our navy.
Steel in Great Britain is very much
cheaper than it is in the U. S. Con-
troll of the sources, a subsidized
merchant marine and transporta-
ton costs all contribute to the low
ering Of raw material prices.

The first of the two remaining
points was quickly disposed of, be-
cause Rupert served another dou.
bic fault. Striding to the backline
for his final serve, he glanced once
more at the man on the bench. The
chaps position hadn't changed an
iota; the colored glasses were still
focused, his arms still folded, the
contemptuous, faint outline of a
smile on his lips.
Rupert swore. He swore profusely
and fiercely. And suddenly he was
glad that it was over. He wanted
nothing now but to have it out with
the man wearing the colored glasses.
In order to bring about a quick
ending to the contest, Rupert served
a slow ball, half-heartedly attempt
ed to drive back Eddie's return, and
started toward the man with the col
ored glasses hardly before the ball
had landed out of bounds. Dimly he
heard Eddie's boot of triumph, but
paid it no heed.
He stood before the bench where
sat the man with the colored glasses,
threw down his racket and placed a
hand on either hip. A desire pos
sessed him to blot out of his sight
the vision of those glasses, to dis
cover what sort of a personality lay
behind them and by so doing to pre-
cipitate the fisticuffs he hoped, for
the good of his nervous system,
would ensue.
And so, disregarding all conse-
quences, Rupert's hand went out and
snatched off the colored glasses,
fiinging them to one side. At the
same moment he thrust forward his
face belligerently and opened his
mouth to speak. But the words stuck
in his throat They stuck there and
wouldn't come out. His jaw fell open
wider and his eyes bulged in aston
ishment. He blinked and started
and blinked again.
But there was no mistaking the
fact that the man of the colored
glasses was sound asleep!

God to subdue sin. Moses with all
his righteousness could not look God
in His face and live, Isaiah caught a
glimpse of Heaven and cried, "Woe is

God is tired of sin and His wrath is
stirred: Wars, plaques, pestilences,
Fires, earthquakes in the land are
echoes of judgement revealing His
wrath. God is angry with that nation
in which the people fail to serve Him
and to abide by His command. God
is angry with that nation in which
segregation, prejudice, race and class
hatred and persecution become part of
its programme-in which leaders are
not of a consecrated heart and in
which He cannot be King about all
Kings.
God is angry with the church that
rejects the truth of His prophets;
that compromises with worldliness
and lowers it's spiritual standard in
search of prestige and fame from
society.
God is angry with the home in which
he cannot live, IN which children are
not taught the way of salvation, in
which social sins cripple the innocent
mind and set youth at the edge of the
cliff where he can be blown over by
the first strong winds of carnality.
God is angry with cigarette-smoking
whiskey-drinking mothers,
wine-imbibing mothers, beer-guzzling
