For all of you considering a job in the poultry industry, here's an occupational hazard you might not have thought of.
Back in 1991, a Welsh chicken dresser cut his finger on the job. This injury caused his finger to stink such that — according to his doctors — the scent "could be detected across a large room, and when confined to a smaller examination room became almost intolerable."
Reports Improbable Research's Marc Abrahams over at The Guardian of this mysterious biliousness:
In September 1991, a 29-year-old man who dressed chickens for a living cut his finger with a chicken bone. This fateful prick cause his finger to soon become reddish and smelly. The man got himself to the Royal Gwent Hospital, in Newport, Wales [...] The doctors treated the man with the antibiotic flucloxacillin. His hand still smelled.
Then they tried a different antibiotic, ciprofloxacin. His hand still smelled.
Next came erythromycin. Still his hand smelled.
Next up: metronidazole. The smell persisted.
The doctors delved into the hand surgically, but found nothing there of interest. They did a skin biopsy and cultured the microorganisms from it, hoping to discover some noxious bug. Here, too, they found nothing of interest.
Meanwhile, the man continued to stink.
After numerous tests and treatments — including further antibiotics, stool sampling, and UV light therapy — the man's finger stank for a good five years. Then suddenly, his finger stopped stinking. This mystery was detailed in the wonderfully titled, 1998-Ig-Nobel-winning paper "A man who pricked his finger and smelled putrid for 5 years" (The Lancet, paywall blocked). Moral of the story: don't cut your hands, ever.

Nephew shot by sniper in Iraq, was able to warn others
News editor
With Memorial Day approaching, Nanette Lowry of Marion has put up a statue to commemorate all soldiers who have been killed in action, but it isn't a seasonal decoration to be put out at Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
"I don't ever want us to forget," Lowry said.
The wood carving, "The Fallen Soldier," was made especially in memory of her nephew, Spc. Robert Unruh.
"We're coming up on the 10-year anniversary," Lowry said.
Unruh was shot by a sniper Sept. 25, 2004, while on guard duty in Al Anbar province of Iraq. Lowry said he was able to shout a warning to his fellow soldiers so they could withstand the attack. Unruh was the only casualty of that combat.
Lowry flew out to Tucson to be with her sister, Karen Unruh-Wahrer, when she identified his body. Unruh-Wahrer was heartbroken when she saw him.
"Nine hours later she was dead in my arms," Lowry said. "Our family will never be the same, ever."
News of Unruh's death and Unruh-Wahrer's subsequent death made headlines locally and internationally. Lowry keeps an album of newspaper articles she saved, along with photos of Unruh.
Unruh, who attended kindergarten in Marion, was 25 when he was killed. He enlisted after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and was a fourth-generation soldier.
"He died doing what he believed, and we backed him 100 percent," Lowry said.
Rick Sardou carved the statue out of red cedar with a chain saw. It shows a soldier's boots, rifle, and helmet and an American flag, with Unruh's name carved into the pedestal. Lowry said there aren't any other hidden symbols. It's a straightforward memorial to Unruh and all soldiers.
Lowry said she wants people to honor the sacrifices of soldiers who are killed in action by taking care of all the veterans who do come home.

And so if the webkit devs wanted consistent naming, which seemed like a priority for everyone. Second, the "url"/"URL" name is much less likely to be used by existing content than the the "FileReader"/"BlobReader" name. It is quite possible to use EventSource and WebSockets without ever using the "url"/"URL" name, however it is impossible to use a FileReader without using the "FileReader" name. Third, I don't believe anyone raised the concern that there was likely content out there depending on the existing name. / JonasReceived on Monday, 28 June 2010 22:21:38 UTC

Search with the keyword �hurricane� and the Charlotte Craig�s List page returns nine jobs. Unfortunately, some of those jobs may be scams.
Search with the keyword �hurricane� and the Charlotte Craig�s List page returns nine jobs.�Electrician for storm,� says one straight-forward posting.
�Make a lot of $ (Hurricane!)� reads another, which advertises for door-to-door salespeople who will �storm chase� areas hit by Sandy.
They could be real jobs or they could be scams, says Janet Hart of the Better Business Bureau in Charlotte, where she is vice president of public relations and communications.
Any time a disaster makes headlines, scammers will seize the opportunity, often with fake job postings, Hart says.
Often the aim is to collect personal identification the scammer can use to open fraudulent credit accounts. Others are hoping their �employees� will reveal bank account numbers, giving con artists a chance to drain checking accounts, according to Hart.
It sounds legitimate, she says. People know something catastrophic occurred and there will be lots of cleanup, insurance claims and other work as a result.
In previous natural disasters, the Better Business Bureau has seen numerous ads for purported work-from-home telemarketers told they�ll be contacting homeowners to set up repair appointments.
Part-time work with full-time pay is another common ad.
And job listings are fertile ground for swindlers, since their targets make up a large population of very eager-to-please people in the post-recession United States.
The Better Business Bureau suggests job seekers proceed with caution when applying for disaster-related positions, just as they would with any online job listing.
Among the tips:
1. Never send money for training or application processing.
In North Carolina, asking for money from a potential employee, whether it is $10 or $100, is illegal, Hart says. It�s also a giant red flag that says you�re dealing with a disreputable organization.
2. Don�t give your banking information until you know for certain you are the employee of an established, trustworthy company.
They might call you and they might offer you a job, quote a salary or commission and offer to directly deposit your pay. They might also steal your savings when they have access to your account.
3. Protect all your personal information. You should not give out your home address or Social Security number any more freely than you would banking information, Hart says.
5. Beware the pushy caller. Anyone who pressures you to give out personal information, especially when you express reluctance, probably can�t be trusted. Also be leery of any jobs where representatives become less interested in hiring you after you ask more specific questions.
4. Do your research. Ask for a company name and contact that company on your own. Get in touch with the human resources department at the company you think you�re applying for and double check to make certain the job exists.
6. Before you apply, nose around. Don�t want to waste your time on a scam ad?
Hart suggests copying the ad�s exact wording and running the text through a search engine. Sometimes people who already discovered the fraud will have posted a warning online.
The same goes for phone numbers and email addresses.
If there�s a link, you can also Google the address for the website to which it corresponds. Should the same website return results for jobs across many industries that could point to a fraudulent job posting, Hart says.

John K. Mahon (1912-2003)
John K. Mahon, distinguished historian and dedicated environmentalist, died on October 11, 2003. Born in 1912 in Ottumwa, Iowa, he graduated from Swarthmore College with a BA in history in 1934. He then returned to Ottumwa in assist in the family wholesale grocery business, which was struggling through the Depression. He was inducted as a private in the United States Army in 1942 and, after serving in the European theater, was discharged as a captain in the United States Army field artillery in 1946. The GI Bill allowed him to embark upon graduate studies at UCLA where he earned a PhD in history in 1950. He became civilian military historian, Office of the Chief of Military History, Department of the Army, from 1951 to 1954. Appointed assistant professor of history at the University of Florida in 1954, he rose to full professor in 1966 and served as chair from 1965 to 1973. At Florida, he published the bulk of his most important scholarly works: American Militia: Decade of Decision, 1789–1800 (University of Florida Press, 1960); the beautiful narrative, The War of 1812 (University of Florida Press, 1972, reissued in paperback by the Da Capo Press in 1991), and the classic, History of the Second Seminole War (University of Florida Press, 1967, never out of print). His colleague, Eldon Turner, commented: "John was a military historian who understood that the history of warfare was fundamental to the great movements of power among nations. His histories of the Seminole wars were definitive in detail and powerful in their understanding of the big questions—land, control, and the perspective that Americans had on Native Americans during the Early Republic and the Age of Jackson." He produced numerous articles for historical journals and periodicals. The year following his retirement in 1982 saw the publication of History of the Military and National Guard (Macmillan, 1983). The University of Florida endowed the annual John K. Mahon Undergraduate Teaching Award in his honor.
His lifelong love of the outdoors and interest in Native American culture were among the motivations of his deep commitment to conservation. He was a founder of the Alachua [County] Audubon Society and the Florida Defenders of the Environment. He became president of the local chapter of the Sierra Club and a board member of the Alachua Conservation Trust. He promoted green spaces, neighborhood recycling, and planning for local flood control. He also served as president of the Florida Historical Society, board member of the Seminole Wars Historic Foundation, and board member of the Gainesville Chapter of the United Nations Association. As president of the Citizen's Housing Association, he worked to improve housing for minorities and low-income families. On August 8, 2005, the City of Gainesville dedicated the John Mahon Nature Park in his honor, an appropriate memorial to an exemplary citizen and scholar.

Chief Bowles
Also known as Colonel Bowles
My maternal great great great grandfather
Chief Diwal'li had a daughter who's name is unknown to me at this time. (Namie or Nettie?) This daughter married James Newman Sr. They had a son, also named James J Newman. Unclear at this time if there were other children.
Chief Bowles (1756-1839) - Known to the Cherokee as Diwal'li. His name meant "Bold Hunter"
** Born in North Carolina around 1756, he was the son of a Scottish father and a Cherokee mother.**
In 1810, his band moved to better hunting grounds near New Madrid, Missouri and then two years later to northwestern Arkansas.
In 1819, they relocated to what they hoped would be their permanent home in northeastern Texas . There, he became the "peace chief" of a council that united several Cherokee villages.
The Cherokee were welcomed by the Mexican government, who saw them as a barrier to white settlement and Bowles began to negotiate with them to obtain permanent title to the land, but were never finalized.
After the Texas Revolution, Bowles once again began to negotiate with Sam Houston for possession of the lands. On February 23, 1836, in a treaty made by Houston signed a treaty that, though substantially reducing the Cherokee landholdings, would give them permanent title. Unfortunately for the Cherokee , the Texas Senate would not ratify it. Houston's successor, Mirabeau B. Lamar, opposed all Indians in the new republic and ordered Bowles and his people to leave Texas. This led to what is known as the Cherokee War.
On July 16, 1839, Chief Bowles was killed in the Battle of the Neches, the last engagement between the Cherokees and whites settlers in Texas.
From Cherokee Nation website:
Bowl, The (a translation of his native name, Diwa?'l?), also called Col. Bowles. A noted Cherokee chief and leader of one of the first bands to establish themselves permanently on the w. side of the Mississippi. At the head of some hostile Cherokee from the Chickamauga towns he massacred all of the male members of a party of emigrants at Muscle shoals in Tennessee r. in 1794, after which he retired up St. Francis r. on the w. side of the Mississippi, and, his act being disowned by the Cherokee council, who offered to assist in his arrest, he remained in that region until after the cession of Louisiana Territory to the United States. About 1824 so much dissatisfaction was caused by delay in adjusting the boundaries of the territory of the Western Cherokee in Arkansas and the withholding of their annuities that a party headed by Bowl crossed Sabine r. into Texas, where they were joined by bodies of refugees from a number of other eastern tribes and began negotiations with the Mexican government for a tract of land on Angelina, Neches, and Trinity rs., but were interrupted by the outbreak of the Texan war for independence in 1835. Houston, who had long been a friend of the Cherokee, entered into a treaty to assign them certain lands along Angelina r. , but it was rejected by the Texas senate in 1837, and Houston's successor, Lamar, declared his intention to drive all the Indians from Texas. On the plea that they were entering into a conspiracy with the Mexican inhabitants, a commission, supported by several regiments of troops, was sent to the Cherokee town on Angelina r. to demand that they remove at once across the border. On their refusal they were attacked, July 15-16, 1839, and defeated in two engagements, Bowl and his assistant chief, Hard-mush, being among the many killed. See Mooney in 19th Rep. B. A. E., 1900. (J. R. S.)
Big-mush. A noted western Cherokee, known to the whites also as Hard-mush and among his people as Gatiûñ'wa`li ('bread made into balls or lumps'), killed by the Texans in 1839-Mooney in 19th Rep. B. A. E., 1900.
From Austin Chronicle
**Day Trips BY GERALD E. MCLEOD
Chief Diwali died on July 16, 1839. Hidden away in the annals of Texas history is the story of the Indian leader and the expulsion of his peaceful band of farmers from East Texas. It is the story of a broken treaty.
In the sweltering summer of 1839, President Mirabeau B. Lamar ordered the Texas Army under General Thomas J. Rusk to near present-day Alto to issue the Indians an ultimatum: "Leave or die." Chief Diwali -- he is also known as Chief Bowls -- tried to negotiate a deal that would allow the Indians to complete the coming harvest. The army's refusal fanned the passions of the young warriors on both sides.
During the night the entire Cherokee population north of Nacogdoches disappeared into the surrounding forest. It wasn't until the next afternoon that the Texas Army found the Indians moving northwest and attacked. The first day's battle went badly for the Indians and they lost most of their supplies. On the second day the Indians didn't have a chance. Chief Diwali was one of the last on the battlefield when his horse was shot from under him.
Although hurt, Chief Diwali got up and started walking toward his retreating men when he was shot in the back. Mortally wounded, he rolled to a sitting position facing his enemy. A young captain rode up and shot the chief in the head. At that instant the Cherokee tribe ceased to exist in Texas.
The Cherokees -- they call themselves the Tsalagiyi (pronounced Ja La Gee) -- came to Texas from the eastern United States early enough to deal with the Spanish government. After 1819, they moved to present-day Smith and Cherokee counties. A new Mexican government led the Indians to believe they could stay on the land, but never wrote the promise down.
In 1836, while Colonel William B. Travis was fortifying the Alamo, General Sam Houston was making peace with Chief Diwali. The Indians were offered about 2.5 million acres between the Neches and Angelina rivers (near TX 21 and Interstate 20 in present-day Texas). The territory includes modern Jacksonville, Rusk, Tyler, Henderson, Kilgore, and hundreds of other small communities.
The East Texas tribes stayed neutral in the revolution. Chief Diwali was said to be carrying his copy of the document when he was killed. All 54 delegates representing themselves as the government of Texas signed the treaty. But with the war over, the Texas senate of 1837 failed to honor the treaty. In 1838, Texans elected Lamar, a man with a strong dislike for Indians, as president.
After the battle the Texas Cherokees scattered. Some went to Arkansas and Oklahoma. Diwali's son, John Bowl, tried to lead a group to Mexico, but were attacked by Texas Rangers near San Saba. A last effort to gain legal recognition for the Cherokees died in 1946.
The Cherokee returned to Texas in 1993 when several elders of the tribe led by Chief D.L. Utsidihi Hicks of Troup reactivated the band. Hicks is organizing descendants of the tribe through a Web site (www.geocities.com/texascherokees.html). "We have about 3,000 registered members," Chief Hicks says.
The story goes that after the battle, Diwali's body was desecrated by the Texans and the Indians refused to bury the remains. "Diwali was a great chief, they wouldn't have left him," says the former U.S. Army captain who served in Vietnam. "We'll never know where they buried the remains," Chief Hicks says.
In 1936, the state erected a monument in the field where the chief died. On private property in Van Zandt County, the stone marker is about three miles north of TX 64 where it crosses the Neches River west of Tyler on the catfish farm road.**

Game Day
Dope Sheet
Other links:
The Lions have had a rough three weeks since the last meeting in Detroit. Three straight losses at home leave them at 4 - 8:
They also seem to be competing to host the largest NFC North IR squad, adding Ryan Broyles (ACL) and Titus Young (broken head or something). Young is supposed to have surgery for something (if he shows up as Jim Schwartz put it).Code:2012-11-18 Packers 20 24 L 2012-11-22 Texans 31 34 L 2012-12-02 Colts 33 35 L
Kris Durham will see action for the first time this year along with Brian Robiskie at WR. Don't know anything about Durham, what I know of Robiskie hasn't been very good. Expect to see the TE position play a part. Pettigrew had 4 catches in the last meeting, Scheffler had 1.
So the Packers will be meeting the Lions at an interesting time in the season.
This isn't exactly a new script.
Two years ago, the Packers were 8-4 facing the Lions and got tied up in the rough and tumble kind of game that always seems to happen in Detroit. Rodgers went down with a concussion, the Packers lost 3-7 and fell to 8-5. Things wound up working out but it wasn't easy.
There's some other history here too. Dating back four years or so, the Packers vs Lions games have a pattern to them. The game in Detroit tends to be defensive, with relatively little offense and low scores while the game in Green Bay is more of a track meet. This was never more true than in last years 45 - 41 win, a game of anything you can do I can better. Calvin Johnson caught 11 passes for 244 yards, Brandon Pettigrew hauled in 7 for 116 and a bunch of others also had quite a time. The game was only finally over when Shields intercepted a Stafford pass intended for Burleson to finally stop a drive. Flynn took a kneel down and the announcers likely fled looking for oxygen.
This week the Packers welcome back Ryan Grant not because they missed him exactly, but because Starks has a bone bruise and the cupboard was bare. Even our no-name players are on IR as Johnny White (oh Johnny, we hardly knew ye) joined Brandon Saine and Cedric Benson on the list. He'll likely see time in backfield. I've always liked Ryan but he hasn't run as hard as Starks was running since 2009 or so. As least he's fresh, playing a lot of chess doesn't lead to a lot of bumps and bruises. Can't say that about anyone else playing in this game (unless Pat Lee comes in as a DB for the Lions).
About last weeks injuries, no news is not good news. Jordy is going to miss I'd bet. Lang hasn't practiced or been seen much, so don't count on him. It's going to EDS against Nick Fairley all over again and Don Barclay is going to get the other side of the pummeling.
So the OL isn't looking too promising, how about the DL? Same story I fear.
Wilson hasn't made a showing yet. Mike Neal has another shoulder problem. Worthy and Daniels are going to be worn out. I expect Mikel Leshoure to have a pretty good day (not Peterson good, oh I hope not, but good).
It also looks like Shields will be back in some capacity, the one article I read with quotes indicated he's doing a lot of special teams work.
It should be about 25 or so at game time with a chance of snow. December football, it's here.
So what should we expect? I'd say that history holds and we see a game in the low 30s on both sides. If it starts snowing, well anything can happen but it's usually entertaining. I'll never forget watching as Holmgren slowly morphed into Frosty the Snowman in January of 2008. I'd like to forget that Grant had two fumbles in about 30 seconds of game time (I was close, 58 seconds) that day too, but I can't and he did wind up atoning up for it.

Dennis the Menace is the brainchild of Hank Ketcham. Appearing in more than 1,000 newspapers, the humor is based on the interaction of five-ana-half-year-old Dennis Mitchell with his parents, neighbors and various friends. Dennis is a combination of good intentions, misdirected helpfulness and exuberant energy, which never fails to provide an entertaining mixture of merriment.
Dennis' world is inhabited by an assortment of personalities to whom we can all relate: From the grumpy, but lovable, neighbor to the prim and proper girl next door; from the harried, but loving mother to the impressionable and adoring little buddy. They all combine to make Dennis' (and our) day a little more entertaining. Created by master cartoonist Hank Ketcham and perpetuated by Marcus Hamilton and Ron Ferdinand, Dennis the Menace continues to occupy a place in the pantheon of national, and international, icons.
Awards and Distinctions:
In July 2010, the United States Postal Service unveiled a Dennis postage stamp in homage to his popularity.
Fantagraphics Press is releasing the complete run of Hank Ketcham's daily panels in beautiful little volumes, each containing two years worth of Hank's sublime artistry.
SHOUT! Factory is releasing all 146 episodes of the classic "Dennis The Menace" TV series starring Jay North.
With the passing of acclaimed film director, John Hughes, in 2009, the 1993 "Dennis The Menace" film he scripted has acquired a place in his legendary roster of hit films.
With a kiss and a wave, this gangly 32-year-old aeronautical engineer leaves home promptly each morning and avoids the many misadventures that occur in his neighborhood during his absence. He will receive an occasional "Mayday!" call from his wife and, to the apprehension of the staff, Dennis and his mom will sometimes drop by the office for a brief visit. Henry plays his most important role when he arrives home each evening. He listens to his son's escapades while trying to read the newspaper; he indulges in a little horseplay; and after dinner, he'll end the day with a good-night story for his son. Then, of course, there's always the delayed call for "a drink of water."
Ruff is Dennis's ungainly but amiable canine of uncertain ancestry whose characteristics include large paws, stringy ears and lots of long hair. Dennis gives him the affection and companionship that might otherwise go to a brother.
This superactive young upstart has been "5 an' a half" since he was first created in 1950. He's too young for kindergarten and too old for the playpen. He's active, agile, tireless and hard to catch. He's also inquisitive, imaginative and of an experimental turn of mind, which frequently lands him in situations he can't always control. With his impish grin, he delivers sometimes blunt observations of the truth. While never malicious or mean, the irrepressible Dennis remains a threat to property, the pomposity of adults and quiet afternoons. He's an All-American handful and every day is "trick or treat" for almost anyone in sight.
She brooks no nonsense, orders Dennis into his corner chair when necessary, and spends considerable time on her knees at the bathtub cleaning the grime from her adventurous offspring. Although often harried, this trim and attractive mother of our short hero is loaded with patience, energy, logic and love to spare. She keeps her small house clean and tidy, always fresh-smelling, the perfect oasis of comfort and joy when her husband arrives from the office to spend quality time with his son and take her off the hook. She is forever grateful for having neighbors like the Wilsons, but she can hardly wait until Dennis finally enters the first grade.
After his new cat devoured an entire package of wieners, Dennis exclaimed, "I'm gonna call you HOT DOG!"
The portly George Wilson retired from the Postal Service hoping to enjoy his Golden Years far from noisy children and yapping dogs. He's often found puttering in his rose garden, fussing over his stamp collection, or lounging in an attic full of boxes of photo albums, an old hunting canoe, ancient golf clubs, a Victrola, and his prized accumulation of classic jazz records. George and his wife Martha are childless, but a short, tow-headed boy next door has filled the vacuum, driving poor George almost to distraction but bringing much-needed love into the otherwise quiet life of the Wilsons. Dennis has a jillion questions and lots of time while George has all of the answers but little patience.
A plump, good-natured and understanding lady, Martha has been married to her well-meaning fusspot husband George for nearly 50 years. She loves Dennis as though he was her own grandchild. Her home is spotless and her kitchen smells like heaven, especially to Dennis. After a welcome cry through the window, he usually quietly enters through the back door to enjoy a sample of whatever has just emerged from Martha's oven and chats with the gracious hostess until the retired grump brusquely ushers him out the front door. Martha's biggest regret is having no children of her own, but she more than makes up for it by spreading her motherly warmth and charm to all of the neighborhood children. Every neighborhood should have a Martha Wilson.
Alice's father is a short, debonair widower, with a bounce in his step, a twinkle in his eye, and an enthusiastic attitude. He visits twice a year but seldom stays long, more than likely because he must share the bedroom with Dennis. But he plays the grandpa game to the limit, spoiling the young lad in every way, much to the disdain of next-door neighbor George Wilson, who pouts and growls that Dennis is really HIS grandson. George has often lamented that "Swede" Johnson comes around just to "grab all the glory, then disappear into the sunset," leaving poor George to cope for the rest of the year as the suffering, surrogate grandfather.
Younger and shorter, he's Dennis's shadow. Joey eagerly learns various facts of life from his neighborhood hero. Shy and a bit nervous, he is afraid of ghosts, goblins and anything else he can't see. Still, he and Dennis are the very best of friends.
This bespeckled redhead is a bit taller, two years older and, she thinks, MUCH wiser than her heartthrob, Dennis Mitchell. Margaret knows Dennis has great potential, but badly needs shaping up under her guidance. She has grandiose dreams of a romantic future and lots of children. Dennis tolerates her piano playing as long as the cookies hold out. In fact, Margaret's cookies and fudge are the cement that binds their relationship together, however shaky it might become. She keeps coming back in spite of rebuffs, insults, put-downs and outright total rejection. All of this fazes her only momentarily, for her mind is made up.
An attractive young girl of Margaret's age, who "was thought up in Italy, but was born in America." Her long black hair and deep brown eyes coupled with the charm of her European ancestry make Dennis feel "funny" inside.

Towards a New World
God brought you out of your mothers' wombs knowing nothing at all, and gave you hearing, sight and hearts so that perhaps you would give thanks.
(Qur'an, 16: 78)
When all the preparations are complete for the foetus to enter a new world, the amniotic fluid begins to perform new activities. The amniotic fluid forms fluid vesicles which will cause the entrance of the womb to expand to a size that will allow the baby to pass, and prevent the baby from being compressed in the womb during the birth process. When the birth begins, the vesicles are perforated and pour out the fluid they contain, lubricating and sterilizing the channel through which the foetus will pass. In this way the birth is easier and protected from bacteria.51
Along with these preparations made in the womb, a few other conditions must be met at the same time in order to have a safe birth. For example, for the baby to emerge from the womb, it must be in the right position. To achieve this, the baby's feet move, causing it to turn slowly until its head moves into the cervix. Now that the baby is too big to manoeuvre, the baby's ability to move is curtailed, and it cannot move its head out of that position.47 But how does the unborn baby make the decision as to which position is appropriate? How does it know the best position for the birth? And, how does the foetus in its mother's womb determine when it is time to be born? Certainly, these are very important things to think about. The fact that a being whose consciousness is still undeveloped can demonstrate such conscious behaviour is a clear indication not of its own will, but of the knowledge and inspiration of God the Creator.
In the stage at which the body comes into the world, there are many other examples of marvellous design to be seen. For example, in order for a healthy birth to occur, the baby's skull must have a structure that will not be damaged in the birth canal. If we look at the baby's skull, we see a group of 5 bones with a soft spot called the "fontanelle" between them. This soft structure gives to the skull a flexibility that prevents damage to the baby's brain and skull from the pressure that occurs during birth.
Before the birth of the baby, preparations are made under very strict controls; precautions are taken with a view to every eventuality. For example, amniotic fluid comes into play to facilitate the birth and prevent infection.
1. Womb
2. Placenta
3. Umbilical Cord
4. Baby Head Down Ready To Push Through The Birth Canal
5. Cerwix
6. Birth Canal
The fertilised egg needs a secure place in the mother's body in order to survive and continue to develop. Cells should find a place where they will be protected and be nourished, and where birth will occur easily in nine months. The mother's uterus perfectly meets these requirements. The baby lodges in the uterus for nine months. At the end of the ninth month, necessary processes take place in order to enable the realization of birth. Checkups are done and the baby gets ready to step into the outer world.
All these bring a question to mind: Who ensures that all these preparations have been completed, and determines that the time has come? Who checks that the eyes are ready to see, the lungs are ready to breathe, the joints are perfectly developed and the brain is completely formed?
In the developing body of the foetus, there is no such mechanism to control these things. The brain, which is accepted as the control centre for the whole body, is an organ that develops along with the foetus. Besides, even a perfectly formed brain could not discern any meaning at this stage. The foetus, which until that moment had developed in its mother's womb, is completely unaware of an external environment. It cannot determine whether or not it is in a condition suitable for an environment it has never seen. And it is not the mother who determines the time of birth. From the very first day, a mother cannot intervene in one single stage of the operations occurring in her body; how, then, could she decide when these stages have reached their completion?
There is no doubt that it is God Who controls every stage of the baby's development and determines when a human being will begin his life in this world. It is only God, Who created human beings, Who knows every moment of the lives they will lead. When a human being comes into the world, God even knows the day he will die. Death will come at the time God determined. An intelligent person who has an awareness of these facts knows what he must do: He must think about his own creation and once again bear witness to the eternal power of his Lord, and he must order his whole life in a way that will be pleasing to God.
Mankind! If you are in any doubt about the Resurrection, know that We created you from dust, then from a drop of sperm, then from an alaq, then from a lump of flesh, formed yet unformed, so that We might manifest to you Our power. We make whatever We want stay in the womb until a specified time and then We bring you forth as children, so that you may reach your full maturity. Some die young and some are returned to the most decrepit (old) age when all that they once knew they know no more. (Qur'an, 22: 5)
The First Food of This World: MOTHER'S MILK
The system designed in the mother's body for the development of the baby functions perfectly. If a baby is born without these developments being completed, for whatever reason, it will need special care (left).
From the moment a baby opens its eyes to this world, its body must adapt to a new life. Every factor to facilitate this adaptation has been put into effect during and after the pregnancy. The clearest example of this is the stage of the formation of mother's milk.
The formation of the milk is provided by the mother's hormones. The production of milk is connected basically to a hormone called "prolactin" produced by the anterior pituitary gland in the brain. During pregnancy, the progesterone and the oestrogen hormones produced by the placenta prevent prolactin from being activated and producing milk. But the placenta is discharged after birth causing the level of progesterone and oestrogen in the blood to fall; after this, prolactin comes into action and contributes to the formation of milk. Because of this communication among the hormones, such a valuable nutrient as mother's milk is prepared exactly at the moment when the baby needs it. This is indeed a momentous exchange of information. While the placenta is in the body, it performs vital tasks but at the right time it must be ejected. This brings with it a very important development for human life. As we have seen, in the stages of human creation all the things that take place complement one another. Certainly, these are clear proofs that every human being has been constructed by a supreme power.
And these stages continue after the baby has come into the world. The production of milk by the mother increases according to the baby's need for nourishment. In the first days, up to 50 g. is produced; in the sixth month, the production may be as high as one litre. Those scientists who have tried to find the formula for mother's milk have been unsuccessful after long investigations because there is no standard type of mother's milk. In every mother's body, milk is produced according to the needs of her own baby, and this milk nourishes the baby in a way that no other extraneous nourishment can. Research has shown that the antibodies, hormones, vitamins and minerals in mother's milk are determined by the needs of the baby.
The Difference Between Mother's Milk and Other Nutrients
1. Ribs
2. Fat In Superficial Fascia
3. Milk Glands
4. Lobule Containing Alveoli
5. Milk Ducts
6. Reservoir
7. Interlobular Ducts
Every detail in the mother's body is designed to meet the needs of the baby. For example, mother's milk begins to be secreted with the birth of the baby. But during the pregnancy all necessary preparations are made under the supervision of various hormones for the production of milk. In the milk, every material that the baby will need is contained. When we think about its general qualities, we see clearly that nothing can take the place of mother's milk.
The use of nutrient material other than mother's milk does not completely meet the needs of the baby. For example, no other nutrient material contains the antibodies required for the baby's immune system.
Cow's milk is considered to be the classic nutrient material for babies. When we compare it with mother's milk, we can better understand the superiority of the latter. In cow's milk there is a higher amount of casein than in human milk. Casein is a protein found in coagulated (sour) milk. This material breaks down into larger pieces in the stomach making digestion difficult. For this reason, cow's milk is harder to digest than mother's milk. The fact that little of this material is found in mother's milk makes the baby's digestion easier.
These two kinds of milk are also different with regard to the composition of amino acids. Due to this difference in composition, the total number of amino acids present in the plasma of a baby fed with cow's milk is greater; the level of some amino acids is too high while the level of others is too low. This has negative effects on the nervous system and, because of the higher protein content, places an extra burden on the kidneys.
Another factor that makes mother's milk different is its sugar content. In mother's milk and cow's milk there is the same kind of sugar-lactose. But the amount of lactose in human milk (L / 7g) is different from that in cow's milk (L / 4.8g). Besides, the large coagulated particles of cow's milk pass much more slowly through the small intestine. For this reason, high amounts of fluid and lactose, which are very important, are absorbed in the first section of the small intestine. Coagulated particles of mother's milk (unlike those of cow's milk) pass through the small intestine easily, and lactose and fluid reach the large intestine. In this way, a healthy intestinal structure develops. The second advantage of the great quantity of lactose found in human milk is that it ensures the synthesis of a material called "cerebroside", which plays an important role in the construction of the essential structures of the nervous system.
Despite the fact that the fat level in mother's milk and cow's milk is almost the same, the quality of those fats is different. The linoleic acid in mother's milk is the only fatty acid required in the nourishment of the baby.
Another factor that distinguishes mother's milk is the amount and proportion of the salt and minerals it contains. For example, in cow's milk the amount of calcium and phosphorus is high; but the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in cow's milk makes it difficult to digest properly. Phosphorus can combine with calcium in the digestive tract and actually prevent the absorption of calcium. Therefore, if a baby is given cow's milk in the first days of its life, the way can be opened to certain abnormalities due to a drop of the level of calcium in the blood.
Apart from this, human milk is 50% iron. Because cow's milk contains a much lower proportion of this mineral, babies fed on cow's milk can develop anaemia linked to iron deficiency.
Richness in vitamins is another factor that makes mother's milk indispensable for the baby. From the point of view of the vitamins they contain, mother's milk and cow's milk are quite different. Despite the fact that the level of vitamin A is the same, the level of vitamins E, C and K is higher in mother's milk. The amount of vitamin D in mother's milk is sufficient for the baby's needs.
Mother's Milk Protects the Baby at Every Stage
A baby coming into the world from the protected, bacteria-free womb of its mother must fight against several bacteria in the external world. One of the most important features of mother's milk is that it protects the baby from infections. The protective cells (antibodies) that pass from the mother's milk to the baby cause the baby to start fighting against bacteria it had never known before, as if it had actually been informed. The antibodies contained in great quantities in the form of mother's milk called "colostrum", which is secreted in the first few days after birth, perform an especially protective function. This protection that mother's milk provides for the baby (protection from slight infections to very serious ones), is vitally important for the first few months, and its benefits increase in proportion to the period of breast feeding.
The benefits to the baby of mother's milk become more evident every passing day. One of the things scientists have discovered about mother's milk is that it is highly beneficial for a baby up to two years of age.
The importance of this recent discovery was revealed to us 14 centuries ago:
We have instructed man concerning his parents. Bearing him caused his mother great debility and the period of his weaning was two years: "Give thanks to Me and to your parents. I am your final destination." (Qur'an, 31: 14)

Ben Ainslie saw his assault on Olympic sailing gold stutter once again as he finished behind Finn leader Jonas Hogh-Christensen for a fifth time at London 2012.
The three-time gold medallist is the undoubted star of the British sailing team and over-riding favourite to top the podium on home waters.
However, Ainslie has failed to overcome Hogh-Christensen this week and got off to a poor start in the first race. The 35-year-old managed to claw back places as the race went on, but could only finish fourth as the Dane got his third bullet of the regatta to extend his lead at the top of the overall standings.
Ainslie moves up to second but lies nine points shy of Hogh-Christensen after both their worst results are discarded.
Overall for the British team, though, it was a better start to the day after a frustrating time on Monday.
Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson continued their fine form in the Star class by winning race five at a canter, with rivals Brazil following them home 50 seconds later.
Olympic debutant Ali Young followed up her sturdy start to the regatta with a second in the day's first Laser Radial race, which was won by Ireland's Annalise Murphy for the third race in succession.
Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes started well in the 49er class, having posted two 12th place finishes on Monday.
The British pair finished the day's first race third and were well placed in the second, only to capsize and come home 18th. Australia's Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen continue to lead the 49er class after finishing second to New Zealand in the first race and fourth in the second, having capsized when leading.
Meanwhile, the RS:X class began and Nick Dempsey got off to solid start, hauling himself up the fleet in both races to post a fifth and seventh. The Norwich-born windsurfer was fourth overall, while the Netherlands' Dorian van Rijsselberge won both races.

Tina Sansone
My name is Tina Sansone and I live in Tennessee. I am married with three kids. I love helping others discover their ancestor and seeing their excitement as they learn of their family. I've developed a love of history and writing. I am a DAR member, and member of The Tennessee Genealogical Society where I was a past board member and currently write for our quarterly, Ansearchin' News.
I write for the website Bellaonline.com for the last couple years. Researching for the site has taught me so much. I've attended Samford the last three years and that woke me up to how much I really need to learn. I am working this year toward getting my genealogy certification, which is teaching me patience and organization.
Since genealogy is not set up (currently) for insurance, I went back to college last year to get that degree I always said I would get. I am majoring in Medical Administrative Assisant and thinking seriously of dong Medical Billing. I should graduate this year. I applied for the school paper, and received a scholarship to be a reporter and write for the paper. While it won't be genealogy articles (watch me sneak one in, LOL), the skills I've learned in writing genealogy articles helped me get the position.
So, with college, Bellaonline, blogging, family, and did I say I have a part time cleaning business, I will be busy this year. I love being busy, but I really have to keep close tabs on deadlines.

Dear Tina,
I'd like to present our genealogy website (and the fastest-growing social network in Europe) http://www.itsourtree.com to you and recommend it for a review or an article in your publication.
We've recently started our servers with the English version of our quite popular European genealogy website. With its origin in Germany, our site has gained more and more attention in the last few months, so that we decided to set up an English site, too.
As life becomes faster and less reliable every day, the only remaining constant factor in life is the family. Our website supports this aspect by bringing the family closer together and helping the people to find relatives they didn't know about.
Itsourtree.com's concept is simple: Due to our easy-to-use interface, you can create your own family tree with a few clicks completely free of charge. The added relatives can be invited automatically via email, look at the tree and participate in the building process. This way, a family network can be build up real quickly by means of the family tree.
We're constantly improving the service and keep expanding to more and more countries all over the world. Apart from the English site, the services are available in seven languages. That way, you can easily invite relatives from other countries and stay in contact with distant relatives from anywhere in the world. So far, there are 4 million families working on their family tree and about 15,000 are added every day. The service is and will always be completely free of any charge and might be funded by additional premium services in the future, but we're still thinking about that.
Maybe you're interested and want to write something about us. As we've got a daily blog (http://www.itsourtree.com/blog), too, we will definitely link you in our blogposts.
In case that you need any further information or want to ask any question, please feel free to write me to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Three spectators each choose a card. By means of telepathy you try to discern which cards were chosen. Ask each participant to raise their hand as they hear the name of their card.
You name three cards. But, no hands go up. Oops!
No, problem. Point to an envelope on the table, which, you explain contains the three chosen cards. You remove a Jumbo Card from the envelope and show its face. All 52 cards are printed on the Jumbo Card, and you point out their cards. The spectators are less than impressed. But, you continue.
Clearly you have failed to name the three chosen cards, so you tear up the Jumbo Card, then take a toy gun and shoot the card three times. Yikes!
When you open the card, it has been magically restored. And, where the three selected cards were on the face of the card are now three bullet holes right through the card! Good shootin', pardner! Contains enough material for 25 performances. Great for close-up or stage. Supply your own toy gun (or you can make a pretend gun with your fingers). Great magic.

legally; they took much advantage of it.
The faculty, lead by such stand-outs as Wally Peterson, Gene
Johnson, Del Ray Peterson, Lynn Lundeen, Quinten Bohney and others,
kept the evening hot on the floor; but the real heat was from the stu-dents
in the stands who still remember the beating they took on "mid-quarters"
last week.
The faculty seemed especially interested in the coffee at half-time.

Six Gospel Teams Organized
Robert Featherstone, Christian Activities director, stated that this
year's plans for gospel team work will be somewhat different than in
previous years. Students will not need to be on a team to serve through
the office, as there will be many opportunities for individual service.
Six organized teams have been organized so far this year which
have been sent out to varous places around the Twin Cities as well
as other places. Group leaders for these teams are Don Fuller, Don
Richardson, Curt Fauth, Tom Warden, Jim Niles and Cal Fernlund.

Some may suppose themselves to be kind
by saying that it is. However, might we
say that this issue's emphasis is quite in-tentional.
All of the research for articles and the
choice of articles themselves has been
executed with the deepest sincerity in
view of an increasingly recognized pro-blem.
In this we refer to the several arti-cles
of spiritual import.
We are not running a paper of private
gripes. Only an unfair scanning of this
page would leave one with such an im-pression.
For most of us Bethel has played an
uncomparable part in the Christian growth
and usefulness we have hitherto exper-ienced.
Regretably this has not been the
portion of every student. Hence there
have arisen perenial evidences of spirit-ual
laxity. Though much of what may be
Were You There?
Since the beginning of the school year
chapel attendance has continued in geo-metric
regression. Why?
This is the question that stimulated a
recent unofficial study. Four students
(two fellows and two girls) skipped chapel
Tuesday to inquire of the reasons why
individuals are missing chapel. The sur-vey
met with congenial response by the
46 individuals questioned.
This was NOT an effort on the part of
a few "Holy Joes" to embarrass students
into attending chapel. It was NOT a mere
project of idle curiosity. It was NOT a
project of the Religious Council.
The results of this survey can be used
by various individuals and groups in find-ing
remedies for certain aspects of the
attendance problem. It must be realized
It only covered those in' the boy's and
that the survey was not strictly accurate
girl's dorms. It did not include those off
campus or those away at the time. It was
taken on a day when Freshman confer-ence
tended to keep some otherwise-skip-pers
in chapel.
Nevertheless, the reasons given for
missing chapel prove valuable and inter-esting
for those concerned. First is the
complete picture for the dorms together:

In addition to the stated reasons several

was a complaint that chapel programs
have not been consistently interesting and
considered spiritual laxity is actually soc-ial
adjustment, the past few weeks have
been characterized by a definite want in
spiritual vigor.
This crisis has been noted by many stu-dent
and faculty leaders and has been
brought to the attention of the members
of both the Student Senate and the Relig-ious
Council. It is a real problem.
The Screwtape letter is obviously pat-terned
after the ethical work by C. S.
Lewis. As in Lewis' book Wormword is a
junior demon writing a report to a head
demon concerning the progress of his ef-forts
against the kingdom of God. This
article indicates a slant of our present
problem. What is your idea?
We have intentionally ommitted some
by-lines. This is not because the contrib-utors
are ashamed of their articles, but
it is because they do not want to appear
to be assuming an air of spiritual loft.
Bethel Fifth Column
Dear Uncle Screwtape,
Melt my antlers and call me Weldwood if
things aren't going simply lovely this year!
it's the best I've had since you sent me to
Bethel. Cooperation has been excellent.
The enemy has lost ground consistently.
I was afraid at first when I heard that his
strongest recruits were in training here.
They refer to themselves as the "cream of
the crop." Funny, eh? The "cream" is get-ting
sourer by the day, and the skim milk
is in curds and whey.
They had one of those deeper life weeks
awhile back. It made me hold my breath a
little, and I had to work harder than ever.
It's about all blown over now and almost
forgotten. We had fewer casualties than
anticipated and hardly a single major one.
Time cures all.
Chapel attendance has been splendid. If
it keeps up this way they'll be able to hold
it in the prayer tower by Christmas. More
and more are convinced they don't need it.
Your idea about the football team is ter-rific!
I really caught them off guard (to use
one of their own terms.) Only about half a
dozen of those left are giving me much
trouble. By the way, how does a demon go
about discouraging a guy from taking the
enemy, onto the football field with him?
Ridicule doesn't work on one of the play-ers.
One thing that used to hurt was the mis-sionary
interest. I've got it pretty well
licked. There are a few die - hards, but
there's no more pernicious all-campus sym-pathy
left. It was simple. All I had to do
was to get their minds on other things —
good things. I will prove the success of this
venture in a later letter by missionary of-fering
figures. They're hilarious!
I wish the enemy's churches depended
more on some of these students. That would
really be a laugh. I can't remember when
it's been so good for so early in the year.
More each week never see the Sabbath sun
until afternoon. What could be better!
All isn't as rosy as it sounds. By the
looks things may be getting pretty hot (or
cold) for me here soon. Have you got some
good suggestions on how to stifle a revival
attitude? There's nothing serious yet (just
a few party-poopers), but you know how
dangerous those things can get if they aren't
checked in time.
I must close now and go to the dorm for
some bull sessions. Here's hoping for a hap-pier
and hotter future.
Your nephew,
The three-dimensional rage has invades
the library. For use in library displays and
signs, the school has purchased a set of
"Mitten's Display Letters." The letters are
made in three dimensions and are fabri-cated
in "Mittenite." On the back of each
letter there is a pin which provides for in-sertion
in a bulletin board of cork or simi-lar
fabric. The set which the library pur-chased
includes three sizes of letters which
are white but may be painted easily. A dis-play
using these letters can be found at the
rear of the main library room.
Friend Forgotten
He was always there when I needed him
but I guess that's the only time I paid much
attention to him. Besides, I had so many
friends. He used to be around a lot in the
mornings but I preferred to study, so I
didn't have much time to talk to him. He
took too much of my time.
One day I remember promising I'd go with
him somewhere—I don't remember the par-ticular
place — but it was where he wanted
to go. But I forgot about it. Usually the
others wanted me with them.
He was always asking me if I loved him.
I don't know why he always asked me. None
of the others did. He seem-ed
to want me for himself
but there wasn't much time for that.
There were always so many other things to
do; studies, games and organizations and
church. I'd go with him there, but he still
wasn't satisfied.
Then suddenly—without warning—I grew
violently ill and for days I lay upon my bed
barely conscious. During this time he nev-er
left my side. My other friends were
there sometimes, too.
As time went by I grew a little stronger
and then I enjoyed the host of companions
grouped about me. But I was rather neg-lectful
of him. He would talk to me often
and tell me about a place we might go to-gether
some day, if I loved him. But "some
day" 'seemed so far away. Often I didn't
hear him when he talked for the other
voices were so loud. As I watched him, he
seemed different than the others, sort of
quiet 'but kind and tender, nevertheless.
Gradually it became apparent that I would
get well. They never left my side, nor did
he. I was quite happy. My friends grew
merry — but he grew sad.
Then one day he turned to me and said,
"Lovest thou me more than these?" I
shook my head- And then he turned and
slowly left the room.
Dear Editor,
In reply to the letter concerning cheer-leading
that was in the last issue of the
Clarion, we, as cheerleaders, would like to
state our view point.
First of all, it is apparent that the per-son
who wrote the letter did not attend any
of the pep fests or games; consequently,
he is unqualified to write such a letter.
In regard to the statement that no new
yells have been introduced, we, would like
to say that we have mimeographed five new
yells and have distributed them at three pep
fests and one game.
We would also like to clarify the mis-understanding
of the new cheerleaders
chosen. They were selected as alternates
and were chosen the week of homecoming;
therefore, they did not have time to learn
the yells for homecoming so were unable to
cheer. Also, there has only been one foot-ball
game since that time. Before the school
year is over you will see the alternates in
action'on the floor.
One of Bethel's school policies is that
male cheerleaders, and not female cheer-leaders,
perform the stunts unless, of
course the girls wear slacks, which are not
provided for. Several of our regular cheer-leaders
do perform acrobatics but because
of this policy we are forced to refrain
from doing them.
We have encouraged fellows, as well as
girls, to try out for cheerleading but
have had no response.
The Cheerleaders
by President Wingblade
We are told that the Greeks were ever
looking for something new. That is on€
reason why they listened intently to Paul
on Mars Hill.
The Greek gentlemen of leisure would go
down to the baths and bathe, more or less
-- but they would sit around much and in-quire,
and discuss whatever news there
might be.
"Everyone loves the mailman," even
though he might bring only "bills" some
days. People are eagerly waiting for a let-ter
from someone.
We heard of one young lady who re-ceived
many love letters and read them
with glowing countenance. However, the
truth became known that she had really
written the letters herself. She longed for
But this is it. There are loved ones back
home who are eagerly waiting each day for
the mailman. They are hoping to get a
letter from son or daughter at Bethel. Have
you written home recently?
You may not think at times that you have
much "news" to write, but just remember
this — that anything and everything about
you is "news" and interesting to them —
because they love you.
Do not disappoint them back home by
neglecting to write. You may regret it
some day. It is the least that you can do in
appreciation of what they have done and
are doing for you.
Write home today!
"Hey Bob, what did you get on your Ger-man
"Did you know who took Shirley out
last night? Well, let me tell you about it,

one yesterday; it went like this."
"Say, wasn't that test a stinker?"
"It sure was, but let me alone; I have only
twenty minutes to prepare for the next

"It looks like a faculty member."
"No, not him, I get enough of that in
"What number did he say?"
"I don't know; there is too much noise
to hear—oh yes, it's 158, 'Blessed Quiet-ness.'
And so goes another chapel service. We
meet friends, make dates, study for tests,
tell jokes and talk to our neighbor; but do
we worship God? Often the noise is so loud
that one can hardly hear the organ prelude,
or did you know we have one? Perhaps we
should have convocations instead of chapel
meetings or perhaps have a chapel only
once a week. But whenever we set a time
to honor Him let's use that time for the
right purpose.
Have you ever tried to talk on the tele-phone
while someone else in the room is
making noise? Perhaps you have retorted
as I have with a "Will you please be quiet?"
In every service there are those who are
talking with God. Will you please be quiet?

Students Teach at
Housing Project
Bethelites have invaded the Mc-
Donnough Housing Project of St.
Paul. Each Sunday a host of Bethel
students journey to the project,
teach Sunday school in the morn-ings,
and conduct a visitation pro-gram
in the afternoons.
The residents (including an es-timated
2000 children) respond
warmly to the teaching staff of 14
and the increasing visitation group.
At present, the invaders are
leaving the girls' dorm at 9:15. This
allows sufficient time to make trips
through the project to pick up the
smaller children. After the school
session they are then returned to
their homes in the same manner.
After dinner the visiting group
leaves the girls' dorm at 2:30 p.m.
Once they have arrived at the ad-ministration
building, where the
classes are conducted, they receive
their assignments for the hour's
visitation. The nature of this vis-itation,
at present, is of a surveyal
type. Later, there will be a pro-spective
type of visitation when the
survey of the area has been com-pleted.
Those who volunteered for the
work are: Jim Long, Dale Ny-strom,
Marlene Anderson, Ed

101 Persons Give Blood
Bethel students responded with
an increase of 30 per cent and 28
pints of blood over last year's re-cord
of donors. Answering to the
call for blood were 101 persons —
faculty, staff and students — each
donating one pint of blood.
The Bloodmobile serving our
school supplies blood for 59 local
hospitals. The Veterans Hospital
alone uses 650 pints per month.
The greatest single utilization for
blood today is its use as gamma
globulin in the fight against polio.
The staff of the Bloodmobile ex-pressed
their deep appreciation for
the help offered by the students.
Their graciousness was particu-larly
noticed as they replied with
a warm "Thank You" to each do-nor.

except Tuesday, every third hour
and anytime after 3 p.m. Permis-sion
must be secured from Miss
Lehr, instructor in typing, for rent-al
of typewriters for hours other
than the above-mentioned periods.
Students who have paid a lab
fee — those in typing, secretarial
practice and shorthand classes —

Sprinkle, chairman of the Nik Dag program. He goes on to say, however,
that this Nik Dag should be the best Bethel has ever had and that there
is to be a different type program from other years.
This year's program will be a
departure from the variety type
which has been the characteristic
of former Nik Dag programs, but
the program is thus far a closely
guarded secret.

practice started two weeks ago and is in full swing. Already coach
Del Ray Peterson has cut the squad to a workable number and is run-ning
them hard in preparation for a tough season ahead.
Practice has looked good this past week and gives viewers some
optimistic thoughts for the coming season. This year's team will aver-age

Worthington Tips Bethel 14-6
by Don Stipe
The Royals boosted their losing streak to six games by losing to
Worthington 14-6 at Highland Field last Friday afternoon. The Bethel
gridsters were victims not of the Worthington crew, but of their own
miscues. Faltering time after time on scoring opportunities, the Royals
lacked scoring punch; this has been typical of this year's squad.
The "Blue and Greys" began the scoring between the two punchless
teams late in the initial period when they completed a pass to the
Bethel seven yard line. Three plays later the Royals were on the short
end of a 6-0 score.
A scoreless second period fol-lowed
in which the highlight was
the error of the water-boy who
took the water to the Worthington
players during a Bethel time out.
The third period began where
the second period left off. The er-rors
that weren't committed in
the first half were commited in
the second. Lachadaisical play-ing
on the part of both teams was
the key-note of play after the
halftime rest.
Early in the third .quarter Wor-thington
again plowed across the
goal line on a Royal miscue
which resulted in a pass interfer-ence
penalty and left the pig-skin
on the Bethel two yard marker.
One play was all the "Blue and
Face Last Game
Pessimism fills the air this
weekend as the Royals face their
last foe of the season, Marquette
of upper Michigan. Scheduled for
Saturday, forcasters predict that
the game will be about the equiv-alent
of the Bethel-Augsburg title
(that score was 31-0).
The Bethel eleven, not too good
this year, will again attempt their
first win of the season. After
losing six games thus far, this will
be their last chance to raise their
average of 12 points made to the
232 points lost in games.
Handicapped all year from being
under-manned, inexperienced, un-learned
in the basic fundamentals
of football, the Royals still hold op-timism

Greys" needed to add six more to
their total.
However, as in the game of two
weeks ago, all was not lost as the
Royals scored for the second time
in as many contests.
A tremendous 40 yard heave by
little Ed Brunzell landed in the
arms of Bruce Steinhaus who
scooted into scoring territory.
Brunzell's conversion attempt
was wide and the score stood
Worthington 12, Bethel 6.
Another miscue late in the fin-al
period resulted in two addit-ional
points for Worthington
which rounded out the scoring of
the afternoon.

Bill Ferny
Bill Ferny spied on Frodo in Bree. He was noticed relaying details of the Hobbits' adventures at the Prancing Pony to one of the Nazgûl, this event witnessed by Meriadoc Brandybuck.
After the attempted murder of the four hobbits in the raid of the Prancing Pony Inn by the Nazgûl, the travellers had to buy a pony, since during the raid all the ponies and donkeys were let loose from the Inn's stable. Bill's pony - whom Sam afterwards also named Bill - was the only mount left available for sale in the town, so Strider and the hobbits had no choice but to buy this mistreated, miserable looking creature for 12 silver pennies (apparently a most unfair price). The Hobbits then left Bree with Strider, taking the main street. Bill Ferny jeered at Strider, who merely nodded in response. Sam, however, was not so reticent, hitting Ferny in the face with a quickly-thrown apple. Sam, who took a liking to the pony, later named it Bill the Pony.
When the four hobbits returned to the Shire in The Return of the King, Bill Ferny was the man guarding the locked gate at the Brandywine.

Here's what you need to know before arriving at the Kansas Mission of Mercy free dental clinic this Friday and Saturday.
Patients planning to attend the Kansas Mission of Mercy free dental clinic on Friday, Feb. 28, or Saturday, March 1, at the Western State Bank Expo Center in Dodge City should use the Dodge City Raceway Park entrance off of Highway 56.
Doors to the clinic will open each day at 5:30 a.m.
Patients who are on prescribed medications should continue to take them as prescribed and should bring them along so a dose isn't missed.
Patients do not need to bring dental records or proof of income; however, they will need to fill out a brief health history. Bring a list of allergies, prescriptions, and other relevant information.
After a medical screening, the patient will be examined by a dentist and the patient's greatest need will be treated. For example, if a patient needs extractions and fillings, the greatest need (possibly the extractions) will be treated. The patient does have the option to come back the next day to get the fillings but they must wait in line again like everyone else — no line priority is given.
No dentures will be provided.
Services are offered as "first come, first served" and all patients must be able to wait in line as there will be no appointments. Approximately 1,000 patients are allowed in starting at 5:30 a.m. so it may be mid-afternoon before a patient is treated.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided at no cost.
The service is available to children and adults. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times.
Dodge City is excited to host the annual Kansas Mission of Mercy free dental clinic this year and hope that those in western Kansas who could benefit from the service will plan to attend.
