would have it no other way. The
universe is so vast and so ageless
that the life OF one man can only
be justified by the measure of his
sacrifice. We are sent to this
world to acquire a personality and
a character to take with US that
can never be taken from us. Those
who just eat and sleep, prosper
and procreate, are no better than
animals if all their lives they are
at peace.

that evil things are sent into the
world to try us; they are sent de-
liberately by our Creator to test
our mettle because He knows what
is good for us. The Bible is full of
cases where the easy way out has
been discarded for moral prin-
ciples.

OMISSION A MISTAKE

A veteran of untold numbers OF
American meals is the Irish pota-

vegetable can be successfully pro-
duced, the Irish potato has become
established as one of our most

the ominous warning that the po-

should be avoided, especially if the

Of other foods for potatoes are sci

of the well-established potato, Miss
Pearl Macdonald, nutritionist for
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-

tato is thought of as just starchy
food by many people. When there

the potato is often entirely Danish

take. One medium potato furnish

tablespoons of granulated sugar
Sugar has only one value and that
is energy. But the potato has
other values. It is a good source
