Visitors ere always welcome! For centuries the Christian church has set aside the six week'? before Easier as a period of special preparation. Bu; why observe Lent? Why a special period of preparation? That all depends upon what significance we attach to the ;ueat festivals of Good Friday and Faster. The Cans! ian religion is built upon the rock bottom fact of Christ's atonement which reached its climax on Good Fri day some 1.900 years ago. On that day the Son of God gave His life in payment for the sin of all mankind. As a result of this substitution of the Inno cent for the guiliy, the sins of the entire human race hao been atoned.

Racing was Ronnie's usu al rate of speed. He was sixteen. Had he taken time to walk, he might have had time to think. This, I am sure, never had occurred to him. He slid to a full slop in front of Tom Brennan's desk. Tom was the editor, chief reporter and owner of the Chronicle. He looked up as Ronnie adjusted his clothing. "What's up this morning, Fashion riatc?" 'Oh nothing much." He feigned nonchalance. "Just a scoop for yours truly. That's all." "A scoop?" Tom looked mildly in terested.

"Charlie Slater and his wife are getting a divorce." He emphasized this last. "And it's over another woman." "That's no scoop. It's dirty linen." Tom stared ?t him coldly. "We don't wash It in the Chronicle. You know that" He lowered his head again. "Wait a minut?" Ronnie insisted. "The other woman is only eix years old." WcH, why didn't you say ro?" Ronnie leaned back with a self satisfied grin. "I got it from Pop. He and Mom were talking last night. ; Top is hr.ndlir.g Mrs Slater's defer.re c: '"hatever you call it. Anyway they r.rc petting a divorce because Charlie won't let her adopt her niece." ' Why depsn't her sister raise her own kid?" They won't let her.

'I guess so." Ronnie r. dm it ted. "Whenever they talk about her I he.ve to leave the room." ' T get it." He laughed at Ronnie's hopeful expression. "But I'm not let ting you in on it. You em get the facts of life from your Dad." Well, then." he sished dismally. "How about the story? Can I write it up?" Tom stared into spnee thought fully for a minute. "It hasn't come to court yet. has it?" "It comes up this morning. I heard Tcp say so." "Well, then," he smiled, "you cover it as it comes out in court. Ronnie couldn't believe his ears. '"You mean I can handle it alone?" ' You'll have to." He didn't lock too happy about it, "I've got to go to the capitol this morning. It might take irse all day." " Look. Ronnie." He stared at Ron nie doubtfully. "I'm not too sure about leaving this thing to' you." "Oh I'll be all right. Tom." Ron nie attempted to look older than he vr.?. "Just leave it all to me. I can handle it for ycu." ' Okay. son. only remcr..brr. Or.e dumb trick snd we could lose the respect of the whole community. Not to mention a lawsuit which could cost me my newspaper." courthouse. Just report exactly what happens in that court room. Nothing more. Above all, no personal opin ions. Have it ready for Jack to set up when he comes in at one o'clock." He started for the door. "Oh, yeah." He turned around. "In the right hand comer of my middle drawer you'll find a card you might need." Ronnie waited until his car had pulled away and made n dive fcr the desk. There it was. Ronnie grew two inches in half a minute. It was a press card, with his name cn it. At ten minutes until nine Ronnie entered the county courthouse. The proceedings consumed nor.rly an hour. It waa r. busy hour for him. He tried to get every word spoken into his note book. He hurried back to the Chronicle office and sat dewn at the battered old typewriter. After two hours of banging on it, he looked up. It was noon. At one o'clock he had to swallow his pride and help the prescmr.n. At four o'clock they were all out and on the s.reet. Ronnie grabbed a ccpy, r.s ho had rcen Tom do, and sinking back into .i chair real every line. Ha was t mrizori nt '.is own rir.rkvr k; hr rend the write-up on the divorce proceedings. His cockiness ooscd out of him. It didn't seem such a good idea to take mooters in his own icnds as it had rromcd kefcro the paper went to press. At four-thirty Tom burst into the cflico with murder in hi; eye. "Ron nie!" he exploded, "what got into ycu?" "What do ycu mean? It locks pret ty good to me." He eyed Tom warily. "It would." Ke sank into hie chair. "Oh, brother! This should rtir up something!" He stared moodily at the desk. "I guess it's all my own fault. I ought to have known better than to leave a sistccn-ycar-old with a newspaper." Ronnie got a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach. "Tern?" He smiled weakly. "I hope it won't cause ycu r.r.y trouble." "It won't,, will it?" "I don't knew, boy.' Tom hctJ his head. 'Time will tell." Ronnie tec'.; cut his rrces card rmd laid it on the dc "I I'll see ycu later Tom. If I can help l?t me knew." Tom looked up sensing the utle: defeat in Ronnie's voice-. "Pick up your ctrd, boy. Fvery newspaper man has to 2esr:i from mistakes. How un you think L learned about personal opinions?" Ronnie shook his head. "From just such a stunt as ycurs. Only it was a murder case. I picked the wrong guy!" He smiled faintly. "I got canned." "But I've still got a job?" Ronnie's hopes started to rise. "Maybe. If I've still got a news paper ycu have." Ronnie felt sick again. They both turned as the doer opened. It was Charlie Slater and his wife. Ronnie swallowed hard. Tom braced himself. Charlie spoke first. "Tom, did you write that story cbout us in the pa per this afternoon?" "No, sir." Rcnr.ie interrupted Tom, "I wrcte it while he was up at the capitol." "Why?" "Why. I don't know." Ronnie racked his brain. ' I just said what I thought. I guess." Mrs. Slater laughed. "We kinda thought it was ycu Ronnie." Ronnie began to feel a bit better. "Anyway." Charlie smiled, "to make a long story short, we decided if a sixteen-year-old lad thought we were a couple of fools, maybe we were." "And," she finished it for him. "we want to thank you."

MORE FEED Oyster Shell Says ihz Ohio Experimental Station t r 1 II . ; TESTS SHOW VALUE OF OYSTER SHELL CALCIUM AND VITAMIN "D" FOR MAXIMUM EGG PRODUCTION Results of recent experiments "make it clear to poultrymen that they can ill af ford to take any chances with a defic iency of calcium or vitamin D3 in the ration of their laying: flock." So say D. C. Kennard and V. D. Cham beiiin, poultrymen at Ohio Experiment Station, Wooster. To learn more of the actual effects of deficiencies of vitamin Do and calcium, experiments were conducted from Octo ber 1 to August 16 by the Ohio Station with four groups of 50 Rhode Island pullet layers each confined to indoor floor pens with an eastern exposure. The windows of the pens were kept open whenever the weather permitted. The different groups of layers received the same mash mixture with and without the vitamin Do and calcium supplements. The layers were fed twice daily the amount of feed they would consume be tween feeding periods. Except for one group, the oyster shell and granite grit were kept before the birds at all times. Shavings were used for floor litter. RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS (Proof Positive) The Ohio workers report that egg pro duction of the hens that received the basal ration supplemented with oyster shell and vitamin Do (the control group was consistent throughout the 45 weeks of the test. In contrast, the egg produc tion of the hens that received the same ration without oyster shell, was consist ently low- or about half of the control group. In an effort to obtain essential calcium, those birds deprived of calcium and lay ing only half as many eggs as those get ting calcium in their feed still ate almost the same amount of feed. This means twice the feed per dozen eggs. It is in teresting to note, too, that this group, in an apparent effort to make up for the missing calcium, consumed 47 times the granite grit eaten by the control group. The provision of plenty of calcium (oyster shell) is the simplest, easiest, and least expensive of the essentials for egg production. Perhaps that is why it is so often taken for granted, instead of being given the attention, which its im portance warrants. -DuPont's "Agricul ture News Let ter."
