No doubt the clergyman in the fol-' lowing story didn’t mean what he said. However, when he met a member of ■ his church on the street, he was ask ed, “Preacher, when do you expect to see Deacon Jones again?” The preacher replied sadly, “I am sorry to say that I will never see him again. Deacon Jones has gone to Heaven”. Time and again we say things we do not mean.

According to State College home management specialist Mamie Whis nant, this is a good point to bear in mind. Take washing clothes for ex-| ample.

If' we expect people to make allowances I i for us, we must do the same for them. We can inflict ourselves with imag ined slights that take much away from the joy of living.

S. Department of Ag riculture specialists, there is the possi bility of being shocked if your electric appliances used with water or in damp places are not properly ground ed. Without this very necessary pro jection, a stray current seeking thel | easiest way to the ground, may run | through your body. Some manufacturers equip their ma chines with a cord that grounds the machine whenever it is plugged in. These special cords have a three- pronged plug that requires a three hole outlet to fit in. Some other washers have a three wire cord and a two-prong plug that fits into the conventional socket. Thel third wire is used for grounding pur-! poses. um»mnnniunniiwiwmim»wmiininnw>. mail i mmem AfniA —— I There’s no need to keep your hunt ! ing dogs idle during summer, accord i ing to Henry P. Davis, well known dog authority. It is neither pleasing to | the dog nor to his advantage. * Inactivity makes him fat and lazy. His muscles become soft, his keen am ! bition fades and he is prone to for | get some of the lessons he has learn i ed. Right now you have some won derful opportunities for training and conditioning him in preparation for the open seasons ahead. The pointing dog and spaniel fan ciers can devote the late afternoons to yard-training lessons and to brushing up in the retrieving department. If pen-raised game birds or pigeons are i used, excellent lessons in field man ners can be taught. This work is par ticularly valuable to young dogs who . haven’t had a season in the field. For the retriever owner, summer time is the best period to introduce youngsters to work in water. These , breeds generally take to water quite readily, but care n ust be taken to see you don’t overdo it. Young dogs should be given their I first lesson in water retrieving with exceeding care.
