1t never pays to tell other people how
to live their lives; if they don't have as
much sense as you do they won't take your
advice and if they do, they don't need it.

WHAT ARE THE FACTS?

Without doubt the temperature
Of certain portions of the ocean
has increased This. however, does
rot justify the common belief
that this change of warmer
weather will be permanent. 1t is
true that the NEAR temperature
Of the United States and Canada
and adjoining waters has increas-
cd 3 during the past 100 years.
But this is nothing for us now to
get excited about. This 80 is not
the cause Of fish going north. nor
q cause for YOU TO change your
business
The changes in temperature
from year to year which you. the
cattle and the fish recognize are
due to the changing winds What
causes these changes in the direc-
ton of prevailing winds is debat-
able. 1t may be SunSpotS, but l
believe Gravity is the basic cause
of the warm winds blowing over
the Northern Hemisphere. The
TACT that more cold winds are. at
the same time. blowing over the
Southern Hemisphere should in
tcrest every farmer in the study
CT Gravity. In the meantime,
don't believe that We will not
have more early froSts.

Any holder Of a participating

First Hand knowledge

GENERAL EISENHO has told his
- friends that he believes the trip he made
to Korea and the Far East was great help
to him. The trip probably helped Eisen-
hover more than it did prospects for an i'm
mediate cease-fire. but in the end the two
amount to the same thing.
Ike returned with no formula for sud
denly ending the war, although he is go
ing to try to do just that. He has said that
he sincerely believes that the final solution
Of the Korean thorn was speeded by his
trip-and this may we'll be true. in view of
the added knowledge and information gain
ed by the man who must direct the national
effort in Korea for the next four years.

PROPHET

When discussing the winds
with a famous weather expert, he
refer d me to Jesus's comments
en- the winds of 1000 years ago. In
the Eighth Verse of the Third
Chapter of St John we find
Jesus saying: The wind bloweth
where it will and thou nearest its
sound, but dost thou know from
where it comes" Or a better
translation is why ii comes
Jesus discouraged His followers
from depending upon the weather
or other material things. urging
them to be born again"-this
time to be born of the Spirit
This surely is the advice America
needs today. Only by a spiritual
rebirth can we forge ahead-as
did the founders Of our nation
irrespective of weather. stock
markets. businesses or even for
elgn nations.
