- >\ y The Everyday Counselor Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. Again the question of a Chris tian’s participation in secular amusements, such as dancing, card playing and the movies, is raised by a correspondent. This tune it is by a young man. He has been told that participation in such things is sinful, that he should not epgage in such.recre ation. Periodically this question comes up. Again I say that there is na hard and fast rule on these Etters. Each individual has to ke his own decision in the light of the teaching of his church, or by his own interpre tation of the teachings of the Bible as they apply to his partic ular case. St Paul, in his Epistle to the young man Titus, wrote, “unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and imbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable and dis obedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Rotten fruit is enjoyable food to worms but not to man Water seeks its own level, and a man’s char acter is reflected in his actions So a man’s conduct is a reflection of his inner life. But St. Peter knew that it is easier for most of us to progress downward in our conduct than upward, so he wrote, “Dearly be loved, I beseech you as strang ers and pilgrims, abstain from flashly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conver sation honest among the Gen tiles; that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers they may be your good works which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” Conduct goes further and re flects our own characters. It may, and often does, prove a stumbling block to others. Things which we may. be able to do, even in moderation, they may not be able to do without harm. St. Paul wrote of such when he said, “Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world stand eth, lest I make my brother to offend.” The whole matter can be sum Just Two More Days Left To Take Advantage Of Our Big Dollar Stretching SALE Save More On Needs For Your Car and Home HOME OWNED > AND OPERATED By C, R.

Prevent Summer Milk Losses . ■ .mi ' By John P. Burch John A. Arey, Extension dairy specialist, of State College, pre pared this article for the dairy men in marketing production of the state. I liked the article so well I am passing it on to all local milk producers. Warm weather is approaching and it will not be long before the milk plants in this state will be rejecting daily a sizeable num ber of cans of milk and returning them to the producer because of low quality. The value of this milk returned to farms dur ing the summer of 1947 was esti mated to be $250,000. The main reasons for milk re jections are: 1. Off flavors. 2. Too high bacterial count. 3. Too much sediment. Off flavor is usually due to the cows eating some weed, such as wild onions or bitter weeds which impart an objectionable flavor to the milk. Wild onions are plen tiful on many dairy farms in this state in the spring and early fall. By not permitting the cows to graze a pasture containing onions med up in these WdMjMjMpWl from St. Paul, “whM§Mg|^Bii| do. do it heartily, aPVHHMBK and not unto men; khowbig thht of the Lord he shall receive the reward of the inheritance . . .” Here is the final status—if we engage in any form of recreation or activity, “as to the Lord,” we ought to feel perfectly free about it. There is a question about it in your mind, then leave it alone. Stratford News Mrs. Turner Vaughn, of Mt. Airy, spent the past week end with her father, Oscar Richard son, here. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Douglas and son also visited them on Sunday. Mrs. Mat Estep spent a few days last week with her daugh ter, Mrs. J. R. Watson, New Hope.

According to the National Fire Protection Atywiifliiofi f&rm Hires within six hours of milking time will largely eliminate onion flav or in milk. The cows should do their grazing immediately after milking and then be placed in a lot and given dry roughage. The period during which onions give trouble is not long so if care is exercised in grazing, the quantity qf milk returned because Of onion flavor will be negligible. The control of bitter weed flavor in milk is more difficult than the control of onion flavor. This weed when eaten by cows imparts a bitter flavor to the milk serum instead of milk fat as is the case with onions. There is no known way of removing bitter weed flavor. Onion flavor is volatile and there are certain manufacturing processes, such as evaporation, which will remove this flavor. The only sure meth od of controlling bitter weed is to keep the weeds out of the pas ture by mowing or pulling them up. To prevent a high bacteria count in milk it must be kept clean and cool. The cow’s body, especially rear flanks and udder, must be clean at milking time. The place in which the milking takes place must be clean and free from dust. The milker’s hands and all vessels which come in contact with the milk must be demand as free from bacteria precautions that can be taken. Some bacteria will be introduced in the milk during the milking process. To retard their develop ment the milk should be cooled immediately after milking to around 50 degrees. This can be accomplished with a mechanical l KEEPING OUR HOUSE COOL IN A VACUUM JUG I "WHAT a difference in com fort since we insulated our attic with Gold .Bond ROCK WOOL "Now we get a good night’s rest in bedrooms that before were like ovens.

The reason is that Qold Bond Rock Wool insulation blocks the passage of heat in much the same way as the insulated walls of a vacuum jug. In winter, the same principle works to keep precious warmth inside. The resulting fuel sav ings soon pay back more than the cost of the insulation and continue year after year.

Imme diately after the milk cans are filled they should be placed in barrels with the water in the barrel as high on the outside of the can as the milk is on the in side. There should be at least three times as much cold water in the barrel as there & milk in the can. As the temperature of the water rises it must be re placed with cold water as often as is necessary to keep the milk sweet until it is delivered to the milk plant. Sediment in milk indicates the kind of sanitary conditions un der which the milk was pro duced. High sediment indicates poor sanitary conditional while low sediment would indicate good sanitation. The sediment test is one of the most commonly used tests to determine the qual ity of milk when delivered to the milk plant. It is also probably the most effective in convincing the producer that strict sanita tion is necessary in the produc tion of good milk. . Some of the most common causes of poor sediment tests at the milk plant receiving plat forms are: f. Dirty or poorly groomed cows. 2. Milk cans not properly cared for, before and after milking. 3. Filter disc not placed in strainer right or strainer dented at bottom, causing a by-pass. 4. Failure to rinse strainer thoroughly when the filter disc is changed. 5. Milk can lid carelessly placed where it can catch dust or otherwise be contaminated while the strainer is on the can. 6. Milking machine suction cups allowed to get too close to the floor or bedding where they pick up dirt. 7. Not pouring milk into strain er properly. It should be poured *r R. E. BLACK In the past two years late blight has caused considerable damage to tomatoes. Many families have not even had enough for home use. Last year a lot of people used to rec ommend dust for the control of this disease but without much results due to the fact they start ed dusting too late. There are a number of dusts and sprays on the market recom mended for the control of late blight, but good results have been obtained by dusting with Yellow Cuprocide or Copper Compound' A when it is proper ly applied. Dusting should start as soon as the plants start their second growth after setting, and should be continued throughout the sea son, dusting often enough to keep the plant covered. There is nothing that will do much good after the blight can be seen on the plant on side of strainer, not directly on baffle plate. stt. Sediment'in the water used' for rinsing cans and other uten sils. 9. Bouncing or jamming the strainer during the straining pro cess. 10. Placing single faced disc in strainer with gauze side up This is wrong; gauze should be down and cotton up. Good sanitation coupled with quick adequate cooling will pre vent sour milk losses and make available for the flue milk tra'de and for manufacturing purposes in this state many gallons of milk which have in the past during the summer months been returned to the producer because of low; quality. ews Mr. and Mrs. Frank Quick and Mrs. Harve Kennedy, of Roanoke, Virginia, spent the past week end here with relatives.
