Platinum Foxes Possible
By depriving ordinary silver
foxes of one of the “B” group of
vitamins, it is possible to obtain a
platinum fox. This discovery was
made at University of California.
However, the platinized foxes do
not produce furs so durable as the
Norwegian variety. The only fox
that is being raised commercially
to any great extent In the United
States is the silver fox. Perhaps
they lend themselves to confine
ment better than most wild ani
mals. The grey fox is much slower
than the red fox. The red fox has
been known to cover a given dis
tance at the rate of 30 miles per
hour.

Spray Mosquito Swamps
Mosquitoes are effectively con
trolled by DDT. According to a de
partment of agriculture report,
“the most reliable method of apply
ing larvicides over a wide range of
conditions is by means of spray
ers.” The wet, swampy mosquito
breeding areas should be sprayed.
Much relief can be obtained around
the home by spraying screens, trees
and shrubs where the mosquitoes
light. Any good sprayer can be used
depending upon the amount of
spraying to be done. The same
sprayer also may be used for other i
purposes.
Contractors College
The firsi tile contractors course
ever offered by a college or univer
sity is being held at New York’s
City college.
Plants Discover Minerals
A possibility that certain types of
plant growth may come to be more
widely used as clues to mineral de
posits has been suggested by Uni
versity of Wyoming workers. They
point out that selenium indicator
and accumulator plants are now
commonly relied upon as guides to
rocks and soils which carry that
element. They suggest that vegeta
tion also may be used as a guide to
other minerals. Certain toxic vege
tation is known to carry relatively
high rare-metal values, molybde
num being one example.
Warm Water for Plants
Tepid water instead of cold water
should be used for watering house
plants. Cold water may shock the
plants, damage the roots and retard

C. P. Raines, Pastor
Mrs. Jeanie English, Reporter
The Men’s Chorus sang this morn
ing, we always enjoy hearing them
and pray for their continued fine serv
ice. “
The Children’s Choir added their
bit toward making a fine service,
finer.
Rev. Raines delivered another of
his very inspiring sermons. Theme:
“A Finished Task.” One finds true joy
when he undertakes and finishes a
difficult task. Often we begin a task
that would do us a lot of good, but
somehow, and for some reason, we
never finish it. A finished task, as a
Christian, is completed only when
the Lord says, “Well done good, and
faithful servant.” Finish the task as
signed to you to do.
February 8th, at the eleven o’clock
hour, Rev. Raines and Rev. Erwin H.
Umvert, pastor of the Trinity Metho
dist church, 2011 Binney Street, will
exchange pulpits.
February 15th, at 3:30 p.m. Mr.
Rowland W. Haynes, president of the
Omaha Municipal University will be
our guest speaker. He will speak to
us on the “Palestine Situation and its
Effect on Christianity and World
Peace.” President Haynes is one of the
foremost educators of the middle
west and is an outstanding speaker.
Please try to hear him.
Visitors are always welcome, we
urge you to return anytime.
Remember to pray for the hospital
ized and shut-ins.

Call On Thy God was the theme of
our minister’s Sunday morning ser
mon Sunday January 25, 1948. His
thoughts of his inspiring sermon was
as follows: “A church is a behive of
activity, A man may fast on food, but
that same man can’t fast on prayer,
and if we want a strong church, we
the members must make it so.

wherever they may be.
I Don5t wait until the last to give
your support to our Victory Drive.
Let each of person make his or her
contribution today by paying to your
i Unit Leader or at the table each Sun
day morning.
A contribution to this worthy drive
will in turn mean added feather in
our program the building of a bigger,
better, and greater St. John’s in
Omaha.
Let us have contributions from more
organizations like the Progressive 24
and the Cheerful Builders for it is
needed if a complete Victory is won.
The Victory Tea is to be Sunday
February 8, 1948 from 4 to 7 p. m.
at the church. This auspicious tea is
being presented by our Sunday School
Department and it is worthy of the
support of all the church organiza
tions and members.
Come along and bring a friend and
spend an afternoon of leisure.
Our Sunday School desires the skill
and intelligence of many of our adult
members—so why not offer today
your services as an instructor in our
growing Sunday School to help out
in this shortage of teachers.
Miss Pearl Gibson, our Senior Choir
directress will direct a mass Inter
racial Choir at the First Methodist
Church at 20th Davenport Sunday
February 8, 1948 at 3 p. m. Plan to
attend this service.
Mothers send your children to Sun
day School every Sunday morning at
9:30 a. m. Attend our Morning Serv
ices at 11 a. m. Union Services at
7:30 p. m. Visitors and friends are
