"Tab* bend that ye despise not oae of then# little ones ..(Matthew
18:13.) Rand Merck 9:35-42.)
Thoaa people who bemoan the pasting of the ''good old days” are
often condemned for their attitude. There ia a difference, however,
between them and others who loow upon the past as a profitable experi-
ence upon which to bate their future.
The thoughts that bring the most pleasure are usually associated
with our early home life. If this calls to mind the love of parents,
thoughtful diaciplin, family fun and cooperation, a quiet time of medi-
tation together, attendance at church services, surely such a period of
living in the past Is worth while.
It is the rightful heritage of all children to have a happy childhood
which includes wholesome religious nurture as well as physical and
mental ears. This is a challenge to all to provide conditions under which
our children can grow according to Christian principles. These princi-
ples will stand by them and will govern their lives in adulthood as well.
PRAYER
Oar heavenly Father, help each one of ua to mahe oar home a train-
ing ground for Christian citisens. May all children have home life now
which will someday be a past that can be looked hack upon nnaakamedly
as a happy guide to present and future living. May there be pace, hap-
jjsea. and a will to serve that will spread to Include all the world. In
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
‘‘God works through homes.”

After 100 yean of legend it’s
time ws got some straight dope on
the wolverine. About all a yam
spinner has to do is lead off with
that magic word and his audience
relaxes as if loaded with nembutal,
beady to believe that the animal
is a Wire-creature, capable of any
dreadful and bloody feat.
Actually, the wolverine is the
dead-end character of the wilds
according to sportsman-trapper-
writer Russell Annabel. ‘‘He is an
indomnitable little varmint at
whom nature pitched a fast curve.”
Although he belongs to the
marten family he is bear-like in
most of his tastes,, and habits.
Therein lies his tragedy. In com-
mon with bears he feeds on ground
squirrels, mice, berries, green
vegetation, carrion, spawned-out
salmon and unwary rabbits. He
does all right in summer, but in
winter the going gets rough be-
cause nature denied him the sav-
ing boon of hibernation.
He has to. spend months wres-
tling a living from a frosen, in-
hospitable wilderness. He becomes
a scavenger. Handicapped by short
legs and a woeful lack of speed
and agility, he forages through
the deep snow at lumbering gal-
lop, covering enormous distances
yet managing to obtain only about
Mi
four square meals a month. *
Normally he shuns human habi-
tations but when his quest for
food becomes especially desperate
lie will occasionally break into a
woodsman’s cabin. The destruction
ihe leaves is spectacular but no
more so than that wreaked by the
black bear. This greediness for
food and a high voltage temper
are the wolverine’s outstanding
traits.
As a fighting animal, he is a
willing but rtrictly second-rate
performer. He is powerful, with
unusual strength in his short jaws
and heavily muscled short legs,
but his reaction time is slow. An-
nabel reports that he has seen wol-
verines whipped and put to flight
by both dogs and coyotes, and to
have seen them hastily give ground
to, bears. And he doesn’t believe
that anybody ever saw a wolver-
ine try to take a carcass away from
an adult timber wolf.
Economically the wolverine is
a negative animal, not especially”)*
harmful in the wildlife setup, nor
of any great value as a fur bearer.
He kills a few mountain lambs,
caribou fawns and beavers, but is
not even approximately as destruc-
tive as the wolf, the coyote or even
the fox.
Fire is responsible for much of
the tfanfege to' both young growth
and mature timber. Fire damages
and weakens trees, making them
easy prey for insects and wood
rotting fungi. ,

OURB, we know—a car is a "necessity’'
U these days. A modern family "couldn’t
get along without one.” Or so you tell
yourself.
Come, come, sir! We know, and so do you,
the real reason you got the new-car fever
—and the kind of car you ere hankering
for.
\ou want a opr with some fun in it,
don’t you?
A ear you’ll get a big bang out of every
time you see it parked in front of your
house—every time you slip into its front
seat—every sweet and easy mile you travel
in it.
Well, come see what this beauty does for
you.
How the doors swing open in warm wel-
come at a thumb touch on a button. How
the broad seats invite you to take it easy.
How the big straight-eight under the bon-
net snaps into purring life at your toe-
touch.
And then note—
How smoothly you slip away from the
curb—especially when Dynaflow* is han-
dling the power transmission.
How firm and steady the whole car feels;
How it holds on curves, free of "heel-
over” and sway. How each coil-sprung
wheel quickstep# over bumps and rough
spots that mean jounce and jiggle on most
cars—how buoyantly road-free a Buick is.
✓
Fun? You bet it’s fun—too much fun to
And there's no reason to miss it, really,
for this strapping traveler is priced under
many sizes. Stags at figures just an easy
step above the so-called Lowest Price
