4—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. April 30. 1960 FROM WHERE WE - Appropriations Help The vice-president of the American Meat Institute—which is the. national trade association of the meat packing industry—recently appeared before a House subcommittee In support of the 1961 budget request of $21,562,700 for Federal meat inspection. In fact, he offered the view that the amount is not quite as large as it should be, but, on behalf of his organi sation, he recognized “the necessity of cutting the Federal budget in all de partments of the Government to. the absolute minimum,” The meat inspection Division, which administers the 53-year old inspection program, seems to be just about a model government body. In the AMI spokesman’s words, it “has developed vti._L-.ix TREES ARE maiURE RE HARVESTED just the same as any other crop, but cutting the ground as bare as this will deprive the owner of any crop for many years This view of a hillside in Martic Township shows one of the evils of selling timber by the tract. Many of the sawmill operators in the county are conscient ious and will do a good job of selective cutting, but some operators are so greedy for today’s gain they spoil tomorrow’s opportunity. Landowners with timber tracts to sell would do well to confer with the District Forester before making any logging contracts. Clear cutting and-rooting out of young trees as is done here not only spoils future tim ber crops, but also deprives wildlife of shelter and cover and lays the soil open to the ravages of water erosion. State highways spokesmen say roads in areas such as this are harder to maintain putting the burden on the general taxpayer as well as the landowner. Contracts which call for the cutting of only marked and marketable trees are usually most advantageous for the farmer. Timber is a crop. Harvest it wisely.

Pure In Heart THERE are different words in different languages for the in visible man—that is, the man no body sees, but everybody knows he is there. Each of us is an invisible man or woman. It isn’t that we walk around with this person under our skins. We are this person. We can call it the' “real you” or the “inner self” or the “ego” if we like. We can call it , the mind or the spirit. What the Hebrews called it was the “heart.” This did not mean emotions, it Dr. Foreman meant thought, attitudes, the whole inner, unseen life of man, that area of his life m which he is definitely human and not just another and slightly smarter an imal. PURE In Heart Jesus laid great emphasis on the heart; and so does the entire Bible. If the heart Is not right the man is not right. Jesus has a special word for the right kind of heart: "Pure." This does not mean what you might think at a hasty glance. It does not mean—exclusively—a mind free from wrong sex desires, a heart without lust. The word Jesus uses, which is translated “pure," is simply "clean.” That is, free from everything useless, everything that beclouds and be smirches life. A heart cluttered up with worries is not a pure heart, as Jesus would see it. Yet an empty heart is not a pure heart. One of Jesus’ more gruesome stories is about a devil who had been cast out of a man’s heart. Finding no rest elsewhere, the evil spirit came back to his old' home, and found it “empty, swept and garnished." There was room there for himself and seven other devils worse than he was ... so they all Now Is The Time . .. in dry weather. "Purity of he artl thing,” it has been be exaggerated. h„fi truth.
