Mr.. Cummins, in addition to his
educational and financial leadership
for the Seventh Day Adventist
School in Peru, gave a tremendous
impetus to the institutions whole
wheat bakery, the first one inaugu-
rated In Lima. With students of the
school as the chief workers in this
enterprise, he expanded it into one
OF the city's leading business and
food Improvement assets. From a
daily delivery Of Is loaves, originally
distributed by school boys on bicy-
cles to a few curious customers, It
increased rapidly to many thousand
loaves, distributed by motor, as we'll
as hundreds OF health cakes and
cookies.
Takes Pride In Pupils.
He takes pride in the educational
influence Of the training school,
and the achievements of some of his
former pupils. Last June, one was
graduated from the Emmanuel Mis-
sionary College in the United States
and will 60 back to Peru to teach.
Two others have obtained their
bachelor degrees at Union College
Nebraska. A third is the recipient
OF his degree In medicine from the
College of Medical Evangelists, and
fourth Is teacher Of Spanish and
Portuguese at the Berlitz Language
School in Washington.
Mr.. Oummins believes the bows
In South American family are
more inclined toward higher edu-
cation than the girls, although this
condition is changing. The high
school courses, he is convinced, are
heavier and more intensive than
they are In the United States, with
practically all students who qualify
for them going on to college, often
at great sacrifice on the part OF
their families.

The general tendency for the
average South American is to hold
visitors from the United States In
high esteem" Mr.. Cummins said.
In our relations with the people
and the nations Of South America, I"
he emphasized, there is q need to
overcome language barriers by
familiarizing ourselves with Spanish,
and Of realizing that our American
ideals and customs cannot be i'm
mediately adopted or adapted by
| these whose civilization and history
in many instances antedate our own.
South America has products with
which we would Go we'll to become
better acquainted. Peru, for in
stance, raises an excellent grade of
long staple cotton that is not sur
passed by the best Egyptian. AS a
nation, we must eliminate the error
in our South American trade rela-
tions of not wanting to buy any
thing especially in her markets and
being extremely eager to sell every
thing"
Mr.. Cummins Is now on the
financial stan Of the General Con-
! ference.

u. S. Soldiers Get Raincouts
Woterproofed With Plastic

Furthermore as a waterproohing
the plastic has said to surpass the
performance of natural rubber.
After it has been compounded ac-
cording to formula devised by a
rubber plant in Massachusetts, 1t
may be applied by the same ma
chinery now used with rubber COM

AS a waterproofing agent the
plastic is no overnight upstart.
Scientists spent several years prior
to the war in experimentation, but
the heavy demands of the safety
glass industry made such materials
relatively scarce. Cutting on the
East Indian rubber supply and
converting of the motor car industry
set the stage.

DIV JESSlE FAM EtANS.
Back from South America, after
an 11-year stay as educational mis-
sionaries for the General Confer
ence of Seventh Day Adventists,
whose national headquarters are in
nearby Takoma Park, Md, Mr.. and
Mrs. James F. Cummins are having
the satisfaction of keeping house In
their own country for the first time
In their married life.
At their home at $40 Carroll ave-
nue., they are finding "a tremendous
thrill and an exciting adventure"
living in a suburb of their own Cap
ital, and taking part in the war
effort.
AS bride and bridegroom, they
went to Lima. Peru, in 1881, imme-
diately after receiving special train
ing for their new posts.
Mr.. Cummins was dean of men,
financial assistant and teacher at
the Industrial Training School of the
Seventh-Day Adventists at Mira
flores, leading suburb Of Lima. Mrs.
Cummins was a registered nurse
and looked after the health OF the
girls In the educational institution.
She was active also in helping i'm
prove public health conditions
through health talks and leadership
in the establishment Of better living
habits.
Women Not "Joiners."
Peruvian women and those OF
South America In general" Mrs.
Cummins said in an interview, ARE
not 'joiners' in the sense that
we are here In the United States.
But they are open-minded and gen.
timely interested in all that pertains
to better health conditions and food
habits for their families.
II have never forgotten the reso-
luteness and courage of an old
grandmother at clinic near our
home in Peru. She hadn't even
heard of taking out diseased tonsils
to better ones health, but she gall
lantly set an example to q group Of
reluctant youngsters. who were 30
inspired by her seH-control that
they submitted to the ordeal without
. whimper. In fact, she started such
q run on taking out tonsils that we
were hard put for several weeks"
The death rate In Lima from tu-
berculosis and other respiratory all
ments Is very high. Consequently
the establishment Of better food and
health habits to combat their preva-
lence among children is welcomed.
The Cummins even used their dog
Buttons" as an example of what
proper food habits can accomplish.
Fed q preponderance of carrots,
spinach and other vegetables, milk
and eggs. he lent himself to clinical
observation purposes as an exhibit
on behalf of vitamin- giving food.
Tri-Lingual Obedience.
Buttons" not only performed all
sorts of tricks with alacrity, but
obeyed commands and directions
equally well in three languages,
English, Spanish and Portuguese.
All South American families adore
our American gadgets and canned
goods. and will make great sacrifices

of a new process whereby plastic,

FACTS FOR FARMERS

Cleaning or repairing a we'll is
no one-man job. A helper should
always be outside the well in case
the worker needs assistance in get
ting out.
Poisoned air" may accumulate
in the bottom of an old we'll or
partly filled silo. For safety's
sake, lower lighted candle, or a
lantern in first. If the light goes
out, don't enter till ventilation is
provided. Fresh air may be blown
in by the blower on a silo filler.
Proper management of dairy
calves with special attention to
feeding during the first few days
after birth, will get them off to a
strong start and reduce calfhood
mortality, says K. w. Baker, of the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service. Raising healthy calves is
important for herd improvement
because of the need for replace
ments when cows in the milking
line drop out of production.
Fertilizer may cure sick land, but
it will also kill healthy cattle.
Many types of fertilizer are poison
GUS, but rather palatable. Cattle
may nibble at heaps left in the pas
ture for future spreading, and be-
come seriously ILL.,
Salt (sodium chloride) is a nee
essary part of the livestock's ra-
ton. However, if none has been
included in the feed for many
months the animals may become
salt hungry" Then if given free
access to salt, they may take more
than is good for them; 50 much
more that they may actually be
salt poisoned" and die. If giving
salt to livestock for the first time,
get them used to it gradually.

THE CAPE COD PLAN
By Grace Mes Fletcher

Can the war be won by tanks,
planes, guns-or even trained men
Is God on our side Have we any
right to ask Him to be?
Every Christian must have asked
himself these questions and many
like them. All are wondering
the pastor trying to lead his flock
toward a spirit that will hate the
evil but not the sinner; the father
trying to explain the war aims to
his child; the Sunday School teach
er and her class-we are all search
ing our hearts for the answer to:
What more can I, as a Christian
American, do to help win the
war;"
The Cape Cod Plan holds the an
swer.
What is the Cape Cod Plan :?
Seven words. To say, Father,
Thy will be done through me"
three times a day. Every morning
when you get up, at noon, and
again at night when you go to bed.
Only seven words = but what
words! Father, Thy will be done
through me-" If every Christian
said them, meeant them, lived
them, we could change the world!
At first glance, the Plan sounds
too simple, perhaps, to be really eff
fective. Can your personal dedica-
tion-saying this PROFESSIONALLY
help to win the war? All, but you
are not to say it alone.
Thousands are already praying
this prayer. Protestants, Catholics,
Jews, church members and non
church membeflrs with the love of
God and country in their heearts.
1t is truly amazing how, sponsored
only since Pearl Harbor, the Cape
Cod Plan has spread. When you
have the boards of selectmen of fif-
teeen towns on Cape Cod praying,
things happen! This prayer is be-
ing prayed also by the Harwich
company of the Massachusetts,
State Guard; by college students;
by school children; in churches; by
busy merchants in thei stores; by
mothers at their dishpans. Voice
by voice and prayer by prayer, the
cry going up to God is becoming
a tremendous shout.
Father, Thy will be done
through mel"
The leaders of Civilian Defense,
not only on the Cape but in the ma
tional office at Washington, feel
that this dedication of not only our
money and time but of ourselves
can be vital factor in winning the
war.

and 16. No man hath seen God at
any time. If we love one another,
God dwelleth in us, and his love is
perfected in us. 13. Hereby we
know that we dwell in him, and he
in us, because he hath given us of

and believed the love that God hath
to us. God is love; and he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,
and God in him. Correlative from
the textbook, "Sic'ence and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: The starting
point of divine Science is that God,
Spirit, is All-in-all, and that there
is no other might nor Mnid,-that
God is Love, and therefore He is
divine Principle. -. The Christian
Science God is universal, eternal,
divine Love, which changeth not
and causeth no evil, disease, nor
death.
