A little girl was walking with
her father along a country road.
The night was clear, and the
child was enthralled by the splen
dor of the sky, all lit up with
twinkling stars from one end to>
the other. After a moments re
flection she suddenly looked up
to her father and said: “Daddy,
I was just thinking—if the wrong
side of heaven is so beautiful,
how .wonderful the right side
must be!
No tongue or pen has ever suc
ceeded in describing the glory,
the grandeur, and the magnific
ence of the Father’s house above.
That it is a place of entrancing
beauty and matchless splendor
several of the writers would in
dicate in describing heaven in the
terms of costly jewels and rare
gems.
How could heaven be anything
else but beautiful! It is the habit
ation of our God. And in that
place the Son of God has gone to
prepare a place for those who
trust in Him. Who have exercised
faith in His redeeming mercy.
The “Right” side of heaven is
beautiful beyond tongue or pen.
It will take a life *a soul made
right through the shed blood of
Jesus Christ to enjoy that beau
tiful place. Wouldn’t you accept
this wonderful life made possible
by the love of Jesus and the Gift
of God to enjoy the “Right” side
of heaven?

MOOSE REPELLENT
RECOMMENDED HERE
“ZIP will keep those hungry
moose out of your shrubs”, says
Dick Washburn of the University
of Alaska Agricultural Experi
ment Station. “It repels cows.,
deer rabbits, and even people, so
keep it off your clothes”, warns.
Washburn. “Don’t be discouraged
if your neighborhood moose tak
es one bite, as it may take that
much to convince her how bad;
ZIP tastes and smells.
! Of several chemicals tried,
JZlEP seems the most effective
1 moose discourager. Reason for
the early warning is that ZIP
must be ordered from San Fran
cisco because no Alaska dealers
«re known to stock it.
ZIP is a mixture of poPyety
lene polysulfide and sinc-dlthioT
carbamate-amine. A pint of ZIP*
! is mixed with 2V? gallons of
water then sprayed on prospec
tive moose brouse — your favcs -
| ite apple tree, lilac bush, etc.
Spraying must be repleated every
10 days to two weeks while moose
are around. If rains or snow falls
right after spraying, give it an
other dose Washburn said.
ZIP can be purchased from
Larvacide Products, Inc., 1515 3rd
Streeet, San Francisco, at about
$3 50 a quart, reports Washburn
Since they state their minimum
shipment is eight gallons, it will
probably be best to ask your lo
cal dealer to get it for you, he
suggested. A quart will make
about five gallons of spray which-,
should be enough to protect a.
moderate yard during moose sea
son. Be sure to mix only what
will be used at one time, don’t
mix it all at once for the whole
season, Washburn cautioned.
