THE LETTER REVIEW continues to bring
forth some, of the, better stories about the human
race. This week it concerned a certain section
of Callertonc Northumberland, England, where
'teen-age daughters of the miners have "voiced
strenuous objections to their fathers watching
TV while tubbing'in front of the, flPe when they
come off shirt." '
All of us who saw "How Green Was My
Valley" or any one ,of a number of good British
films can picture the dusty black men cheer-
fully washing off the grime, and the while get-
ting a good look at the latest news and listening
to the best music. We would wonder, however,
what will become of that wonderful Welsh music
if the miners there should decide to forsake their
singing, in the bath for the spectator enjoyment
of the TV.
Going on with the chuckling about the min-
ers in Callerton, the Letter Review notes that
"every one of wheat, owns a TV"- and then re-
'ports that they. "have now appealed through
their union to National Coal Board, for bath-
rooms to be built at taxpayers' expense in every
' one of the 40-odd houses in the village."
Isn't this' old world a fantastically amusing
pot in which to live?

"Rain Storms occurring last

Control
Promotion?
Our Provincial legislators in On-
tario know what dangers lie in un-
controlled liquor sale, They know
too that there is little use. expect-
ing social responsibility from brew-
ers and distillers; Over, and over
again they' have proved their real.
interests to be 'in profits, not
people.
One of their specious pleas is
that because. their business is legal
it merits freedom in advertising.
But there is a vast difference be-
tween beer and bread, or whiskey
and wheat. Why control laws for
alcoholic beverages and not for
food and ftirniture? We are all
coming to realize more and more
that all kinds of people are getting
hurt through insufficient control
of the liquor business. Indeed, we
are led to ask whether we have
"control" or "promotion" when we
read such figures as these. Last
year the Ontario Government re-
ceived 55,000,000 dollars in liquor
revenue-an increase of 10,000,000
over 1954?

"A rosrts Sweeterlri the budde
than full blowne." Except for the
quaint spelling, this quotation
from a 17th century writer might
have'b'een written about the .per
'tea rose on the' sill of my
west window as I write. It is a
deep glowing crimson of a quality
which defies description„-except in
words that have already been used
so often that they do not convey
the freshness I wish to capture.
could write "velvety glowing
petals, pearled with .,early morning
-dew," but it does not tell the
whole story. I could write "the
noonday sun is absorbed and
transformed into a living, shim-
mering glow „by the delicately
folded petals which hide the heart
of a half-ppenedi crimson rose,"
There is that word "glow" again
-it 'seems to come nearest to
'describing the striking beauty of
a red rose,
The dictionary defines "glow" as
"vehemence of ,color". My New
Yorker rose is vehement in calor-
yes, that's odd-but it is also
soothing to .the eye. Vehemence 'is
apt to be disturbing-and the. only
disturbing thing about my rose is
that it will not last, long enough.
I have already waited more than
a Year to, see it in bloom. I plant-
ed three last - year-my first ex-

COMMUNITY SALES
HENSALL, AUGUST 9
(By our Hensall correspondent)
*Weanling pigs, $7.35 to $11.50;
,$12.40 to.$16; feeders,
$18 to $30..
Durham cows, $124 to $160;
Holstein calves;$8.50 to $13; Dur-
ham calves, $15 to $40. .
There, was •a keen demand for
good grass cattle. 300 pigs and
40' cattle and' calves passed through
the ring.
This Year, with replacements and
a wet season, I have had better
luck.
Even so, the first two buds on
the New Yorker unaccountably
disappeared while still very small,
My cat may have sampled the tip
ends of the branches - she has
been known to playfully, but none
the less thoroughly, eat the blos-
soms off an African violet in, the
Winter when greenery was scarce.
Or perhaps a bird nipped them
off-unlikely as' it seems, What-
ever the reason, I have had to
wait until August to see my crim-
son rose in bloom. It is well
worth waiting for,
* *
Still on •the subject of the flow-
ers which grace my west window
just now, I have been wondering
if , the firm-stemmed climbing
plant which drapes the lower sash
has' any name other than the one
I know. It has always been just
"the 'wax-plant" in our family, a
name which probably comes from
the texture of the flowers' it bears
occasionally.
It does not bloom often, but this
year - it has made a thorough job
of it, Earlier in the summer it
produced six or seven clusters of
tiny waxy blossoms, oozing with
honey and, diffusing a rather heavy
perfume. These lasted about two
weeks and then dropped off, leav-
ing dry-looking stumps. Recently
these stumps' have each produced
another set of buds; just as dainty
and well-formed as the first.
It seems unusual- certainly it
never happened before on any of
the wax plants we have had. The.
current plant is a new one, a direct
descendant of the, one my grand-
mother had over eighty years ago.
The West Windqiw, of course,
has become a centre of produc-
tion. I hope my wax plant's suc-
cess proves a good omen.
Weekly
X-Word
Puzzle - wart- THE JONESES •
TAKING 'A yardstick to measure up the
average family picture in •Clinton witty that of
the rest of Canada, and using' the Financial
Post as .our authority, we doubt very much if
many Clinton families will be keeping up with
the Joneses for the next little while.
For, according, to the Post, to keep up with
the Joneses next year, you'll need a family
come of more than $5,000.
"Average family income in. Canada went up
eight percent last year to '$4,460, will go up 6.4
percent this year to $4,745 and to $5,077 in 1957,
assuming we manage a 1957 increase Of seven
percent. U.S. Department of Commerce has
just announced U.S. family income rose a little
more than three \percent in 1955 to $5,520."'
THE SWIMMING POOL
HEARTENING rrtoormrm is being made
in the matter of rousing interest in the build-
ing, of a swim pool for Clinton,
This week conies announcement from the
Clinton Fire Brigade that they will volunteer
half a thousand towards the cost. This' with a
predicted' four thousand, pledged by each of the
sponsoring service clubs looks like a very
fine start in the campaign for funds.
This project of the swimming pool will 'be a
community venture in the fullest sense, for
with everyone pitching in, to do his utmost
in' promoting it there is little doubt that the
pool will be built and paid for.
