SHORT COURSES FOR FARM
BOYS

Something new was recently added
to the All Club program in IA Cen
trail and Western States when All
boys and leaders spent week at the
agricultural colleges learning tractor
maintenance at tractor short courses
or clinics.
These boys and leaders were
brought in to take training in the
care and maintenance of farm trac-
tors so that they might help other
young people learn tractor mainten-
ance in their All and farm opera
tions
They learned how to adjust parts
on a tractor to save fuel and get
maximum efficiency, how to correctly
lubricate the machine, kow to handle
tools, the intricacies of ignition and
cooling, and how to prevent acct
dents.
Plans are already under way for
developing similar short courses in
other sections of the United States,
according to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.

sure designed to encourage increased
fat salvage and announced jointly by
the Office of Price Administration

The number of red points paid for

trial fats and oils.
"TEe 1945 supply of industrials
fats-of the type collected under the

pounds short of the 1914 supply,
Mr.. Mccormick said. "The point bo-
nus las been increased because OF

fats needed in the manufacture OF

"There is urgent need for every
bit of used fat that can be salvaged

PREVENTABLE ILLNESS AND
DEATHS

Each year thousands of persons
become i'll in this country, and some
persons die, because of disease need
lessly spread by contaminated drink
ing water and various food products,
including milk" DR.. r. H. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department OF
Health, said recently.
--latest U. S. Public Health Ser
vice figures on disease transmitted
by water and number of different
foods show tkat during 1943 there
were 3S9 outbreaks, resulting in 49,
665 cases of illness and Sc deaths.
This considerable amount of pre-
cauased by disregard of fundamental
sanitary principles. The Publ C
Health Service report concerns only
outbreaks, and therefore does not in
clude all cases of diseases transmit
ted by water and food products.
water from public, private and
school wells, surface supplies and ir-
rigation bitches was responsible for
26 outbreaks, 5,612 cases of illness
and, 1 5 deaths. Principal diseases
spread by impure water were gastre-
enteritis and typhoid fever. Chief
causes of the water-borne epidemics
were lack of of improper chlorination
and inadequate protection from sur
face drainage and seepage from sew
age.
Contaminated sweet milk, ice
cream, milk shakes, cheese and but
termilk, caused 4 0outbreaks: 1880
cases OF illness and Z deaths Impro-
per cleansing of utensils, bulk milk
contamination and disease carriers
were important causes of milk con-
tamination. Diseases caused by such
contaminated products incl u d
diphtheria, food poisoning, gastroen-
teritis, scarlet fever, and typhoid fe-
ver
'In Maryland there has been some
what less illness from these causes
Riley pointed out. Efforts have long
been directed toward assuring safe
water supplies for the rural commun-
tiles and small towns of this State,
as well as for Baltimore City. The
State Department of Health enforces
milk laws designed to safeguard milk
offered for sale in Maryland. In addi-
ton, restaurant sanitation has been
an increasing concern of this Depart
ment, and also of the Baltimore City
Health Department. At present two
inspectors connected with our Bu-
reau of Food and Drugs give full
time attention to restaurants in the
counties.
Nevertheless, tie individ u
should assume some responsibility in
selecting, in so far as possible, safe
water, food and milk" DR.. Riley con-
tinued. Although the official guar
dians of public health strive to pro-
tect the residents of Maryland. per-
sons who eat out are advised to avoid
dirty or unsanitary-looking eating
places. Travellers and vacationists
should be particularly careful to
drink water only from sources ap-
proved by the health department. At
home or in public eating places it is
safest to consume only pasteuriZed
milk"

A Great Harvest

"HE YEARS harvest is indeed
plenteous. But workers - keen,
vigorous, selfless laborers - are
urgently needed. Such is the ap-
peal frequently voiced through press
and radio.
Over nineteen centuries ago, the
worlds greatest humanitarian sent
forth seventy of his followers to sow
and reap the harvest of the bound
less measure of good he had taught
them. He sent them forth into the
fields of human thought, among those
who had never truly known the love
of God or the healing power which
spiritual understanding could bring
into their lives. The Masters appeal,
portraying the richness and abund-
ance of this ever-present harvest of
good, is made to his followers in
every age: "The harvest truly is
great, but the labourers are few:
pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he would send forth
lahourers into his harvest" Uuke
1922.
In his unstinting and glorious
healing work, as well as in the great
truths he taught, Christ Jesus gave
richly of his own abundant harvest
of good. He bestowed health, food,
freedom from bondage, yes, and life
also, where before had been suffer-
ing, lack, disease, and death. Every
receptive consciousness, everyone
who welcomed with grateful obedi-
ence the ChriSt-message of mans
oneness with the Father, received
these wondrous blessings.
Throughout his teachings, Jesus
clearly stressed the need for spiritual
thinking. He also made it plain that
those who were not reaping rich
harvest of health, happiness, and
peace were those who were not ac-
cepting the divine fact of their spir-
itual, perfect Sonship with God. He
emphasized the need of changing
from material thinking and living
to the clear-ct, spiritual way. =.
To be true spiritual harvesters is
our task. The Discoverer and
Founder of Christian Science, Mary
Baker Eddy, writes in 'Miscel-
laneous Writings" (p. 313), ''The field
waves its white ensign, the reapers
are strong, the rich sheaves are ripe,
the storehouse is ready: pray ye
therefore the God of harvest to send
forth more laborers of the excellent
sort, and garner the supplies for a
world"
A rich harvest of wheat and other
food will not, cannot, alone save the
world. But the love of God, reflected
in our thoughts and actions, blotting
out criticism, envy, greed, or general
belief in evil, will hasten the harvest
we all long for, the reign of peace
on earth. :. The Christian Science
