Observations

Tolerance is a worthy virtue,
practiced too little among the
children of men. AS the Spiri-
tual continues steady gain over
the animal. as We grow in the
knowledge of Truth, as Intelli-
gence wakes and Ignorance
wanes, Tolerance should rise to
the throne to which it is en-
titled. Every individual differs
from every other individual, and
each thinks he is right He is
practising the program dictated
to him by his knowledge, OBJ
servation and experience. That
is as it should be. But! you have
no right to sneer at and deride
the program of the other fellow.
He has Just as much right to
his relief as you have to yours,
so long as he is doing nothing
against the peace of the COM
munity. II you want to make
fun, look in the mirror. If you
don't like the way the other fell
low eats, is it not just possible
that he does not like the way
you eat? When trying to find
fault turn the sesrchlight inward
and I promise you plenty mater
ial. know because 1 keep busy
trying to make myself At to as
sociste with my brothers. I often
think of the derision instilled
into the heads of the young pri-
mary school pupils when was
in primary school (yest, I can
remember back that far in re-
gard to the Happy Hunting
Ground of the American Indian,
and wonder what is the reaction
OF that same Indian to the
Heaven where We do nothing
but feast on milk and honey.

ARA FALLS or "Oniagrarah, "
the Indian name of the Falls,
meaning clark to the Thunder"
The Falls were viewed on both
the American and Canadian

Goats Island, Luna Island, Maid
of the Mist, Cave of the Wind
and the Three Sister Island.
Niagara Falls is also the
home of the Shredded Wheat
Company, the worlds most fa-
NOUS bakery. It's plant is known
as the most hygienic food fac
tory in the world. The gran
deur of Niagara Falls, with its
ever present aura of mist, is
majestically transformed into a
fairyland, when touched by the
blended array of color. 1t has
been and for thousands of years
to come must be considered one
Of natures greatest exhibitions
of might. Somewhere hidden
deeply in the crest of this
Horseshoe Falls lies the in

great nations, whose warning

congregation after the service.
His subject was The woman
who serves and the woman who
prays". Luke 10, $3.50. In this
beautiful chapter is the story
of two sisters who lived in the
town of Bethany, Mary and
Martha. AS the story unfolds
we are taken into their home
where they are busily preparing
dinner for the Master. Mary
showed great interest as she
sat at the masters feet hearing
the wonderful things that he
told her. Martha was so busy
that she missed all of this story.
To make a long story short many
OF us today are like Martha, we
haven't the time to mediate
upon Gods words. Let US take
time and think of His goodness
to us. In the afternoon there

A fight between the two largest males

he rightly regarded the whole thing as

He might try chicken scratch feed, as

Pigeons like this, as well as baby chix

They can be fed anything put out for

such as sunf1ower, which they do not
like.
Bread, of course, is always favorite
of theirs.
On the whole a crowd of pigeons
manages to get along very well with
itself, although the chesty males will
drive away the smaller females.
The drawback to pigeon feeding is
that these wise birds tend to increase
in numbers, as more and more of them
see where others are going for food.

Or Else What?

It is eminently right that the allied mem
bers of the Korean Armistice Command should
make every proper effort to obtain from the
Communists report on 3,404 U. N soldiers
believed to have been prisoners of war, but who
are still unaccounted for. 1t may be doubted,
however, that the kind of threat, or implicit
threat, made by Major General Blackshear M.
Bryan, senior allied armistice commissioner,
will serve any useful purpose.
After list Of the names of the missing
men had been handed over to the Communist
members of the commission and demand
made for an accounting Of them, General Bryan
told reporters: "The Communists have got to
give an accounting of them-or else"
This has a firm ring about it and carries
a threatful implication. But "or else" threats
will do no good unless the allied side is ready
and determined to back them up with action
and there has been no indication that this is
the case. In fact, such statements may con-
ceivably do more harm than good. For threats,
in the absence Of an intent to act upon them
in event of noncompliance, may even en-
courage the Communists to other breaches Of
faith. If, in this instance, the enemy should
adopt an "or else what?" attitude, just what
does General Bryan propose to do?
