Canadian Eskimo Stone Carvings
The Eskimos living on the rugged coast
of the Canadian Arctic, like the Eskimos
of the Alaskan coast, have found inspiration
in producing a meaningful art.
Whereas the Alaskan Eskimo used the ivory
of the walrus, and whalebone,
the Canadian Eskimo uses stone.

Out of the lifeless rock they have created

A SOLUTION to the nation's huge
potato surplus problem has come
from a most unlikely source—a toy
manufacturer. The toy is the Loss
man Spud Gun, held by the de
lighted boy above. It is a novel
and harmless weapon that shoots
pellets of potato. The toy’s popu
larity has been phenomenal and
with its appearance has come a rise
in potato sales'. Supermarket man
agers have told the manufacturer,
the E. J. Cossman Co. of Holly
wood, Calif.,that they are stocking
the Spud Gun just to sell potatoes.
Many report that this is the first
time in years that potatoes have
been selling well. Potato growers,
and even the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, are assisting in the
sale of the toy to boost potato sales.

Spiritual Truths
Contributed By
Nome Gospel Home
The FBI has completed its new
est survey of the crime situation.
One of the results made in this
report is that Bible Reading in
tne public schools has been a def
inite aid to city government. In a
disclosure of the figures for the
major cities it was found that the
crime rate was reduced by almost
50 per cent in the cities which
provide the liberty for teachers
to read - the scriptures in class
rooms.
Here is just one of the many ex
amples: In Memphis, where the
Bible is read in all classes, the
crime rate has been so reduced
that the cost for police protection
is now, yearly, only $5.75 per cap
ita. Atlanta, which is even a
smaller city than Memphis, has
no Bible reading in the schools,
and the crime rate is leaping up
to where each citizen now pays
$10.47 for police protection each
year.
“For the Word of God is quick
and powerful, and sharper than
any two-edged sword.” (Hebrews
4:12 a.)
ROLLING HIS OWN DRUM
‘LAWRENCE, Kan., UPt — Gene
Nau, 21, bragged to his fraternity
brothers he could roll an
empty 55-gallon oil drum 17 miles
in less than half a day. Thursday
he did it, pushing the drum over
back roads from Lone Star Lake
to Lawrence in 5 hours 20 minutes.
The codfish lays a million eggs,
The little hen but one.
But the codfish doesn’t cackle
To tell what she has done;
So we despise the codfish, and
The little hen we prize—
Which indicates to thoughtful
minds
“It pays to advertise!”
