HARD OF 'TARING—Carl 'Nelson demonstrates the durable qual- ities of new plastic 'anatomical models before the American As- sociation for the Advancement of Science. Infinitely more rug- ged than their organic counter- parts, the •models are for use by medical students. Al Thirty Years In Steaming Jungles For a white man to spend over thirty years in the steam ing Jungles of Brazil and to re- turn to civilization sound in mind and body is by way of be-' ing no mean achievement. Both the' -record and the inevitable adventurous living crammed tightly into half a lifetime, must be unique. Sasha Siemel is unique; not only as a hunter but as a man, for he combines the ingenuity of the white hunter' and the cunning of the ,Indian whose senses match these of the • ani- mals they trail. Such was the ice-cool courage of Siernel',that' he preferred to fight tee fierce jaguars armed only with a spear — animals weighing twice as much as the average man, and about• equal in size to the Bengal tiger. In an exciting .and thrilling account of his adventures, "Jun- gle Fury" Sesea Siemel writes sae vividly that the reader prac- ticalljr lives; camps, and hunts by the side of theadventurer. Rough-Stuff Wrestling Apart from being a hunter of note, Sasha ,Siemel ewes quite a reputation as a boxer and wrest. ler. Earlier in his career Sasha, together with his brother Ernst, were making their way to the diamond fields of Brazil. En route to Sao Paulo was a Turk- ish wrestler, Leon Beduino, Who decided to break his journey at Passo Fundo, and was here that, the brothers met up with him. Beduino, hoping to aequire a few ,more rnilreis, issued chal- lenges to all and sundey. Sasha aceepted, but on one condition; that if he wrestled with the Turk one night, the marl would consent to a ten- round boxing match the follow' ing night. The wrestling match proved a fiasco, for' after the Turk had bitten through his opponent's ear with a full set of gold teeth, gunplay fro,m the spectators caused a diversion and Beduin() elise,peeared from the ring. -The challenger was all for leaving town, but was persuad- ed to stay for the return match after' ane official had promised there would be no further gun- play. Siemer won the boxing con- , test with a blow that floored-the Turk and left him with a hand too badly damaged to permit of hand-shaking for some weeks after. With his share of the purse the winner bought a mule, end with rather malignant, humour named- it "Beeluino"! During their travels the two brothers', later ' 'they parted company — learned of a dia- morid strike on the Rio Manso. They decided to go thew, From out of the blue'came an Ameri- Along With Alexander Churchill's Secret One of the secrets of Sir Win- ston Churchill's 'good health is his ability to sleep soundly, However busy he is,'whatever problems have to be tackled, the eighty-year-old Prime Minister can quickly compose himself to sleep when he goes to bed. He resmbles in this respect Mr. Gladstone, who once told a friend: "Sleep is vital. I refuse to let any question, however pressing, interfere with my sleep. I could not work *Without regular sleep." Only twice in his long career did Gladstone find himself wakeful through worry. Once was when he feared a high wind might bring down a tree he had begun to cut at Hawarden that week-end. The second occasion was during a reshuffle of • the Cabinet . Then he rose, sketched out a ,possible Ministry, return- ed to bed and — slept. A fellow can never know when some trivial act of his is going ,to make history. Maybe it's nothing More than parking his car on the street somewhere, and bingo! 'he has wrought for the ages. James L. Wilmeth, a living example of the above truths, thought-nothing of it when he parked his automobile in front of the United States. Treasury in Washington one day 40 years ago. While the old buggy was sitting there, some one snapped a-picture of the Treasury Build- ing, with the Wilmeth Ford parked alongside. Years later, that picture -was exhumed and put on the $10 bill, where it is located at about the same point on the back as Mr. Hamilton's cravat on the front, The story came out only a ew days ago, rA second cousin of Mr. Wilmeth (Mr. W. now lives near Philadelphia) works in the classified advertising de- partment of the Memphis Com- mercial Appeal. " And as that newspaper says with rare in- sight: "You can't go around be- ing the second cousin of a man whose Ford is on a $10 bill with- e out people eventually finding out about it." And so Mr. Wilmeth, by no more than scooting tip to the curb and cutting off the engine, parked in a niche in history— maybe a small one, but who's to say it is abscure when it's right there back of Alexander Hamilton? — St. Louis Post- Dispatch.

The history of ultramarine stretches over many centuries, Tee Egyptians and other ancient peoples prized a blue semi- precious stone called lapis la- zuli which was found in China, Tibet, Persia and Afghanistan. In medieval times, it was dis- covered that the blue stone could be ground and refined as a color pigment, Caravans from the East brought lapis lazuli to t.t- rope. There it was known as ultramarine blue — "the blue from beyond the seas." Ultra- marine pigment illuminated me- dieval manuscripts and bright- . ened the canvases of Flemish and Italian masters. This blue was valued by artists 'Above all other blues. However, with in- creasing demand, supplies grew scarce and fabulously expensive. Chemists in the early 1800's analysed the stone from across the seas and in 1828 they dis- covered the secret of a process to make the pigment .artificially. French and German factories began commercial production and ultramarine soon became even more familiar as a common washday aid than as an artist's color. Unlike a bleach, ultramarine doesn't whiten clothes by chem- ical action. It creates an opti- eel effect of whiteness by re- flecting the blue waves of light to neutralize the yellow light which white surfaces reflect. In- dustry takes advantage of this- - effect, too, in the whitening of paper pulp and paint pigments. In the 1850's, Isaac Reckitt, a starch-maker with a small busi- ness in Hull, England, entered the blueing business. He began to import the pigment from the Continent to sell to the house- wives of Britain. Reckitt's side- line made his name a household word ,•and his company the world's• largest supplier of ul- tramarine. Records show that the com- pany filled its first Canadian ' order 90 years, ago, when 25 hundredweight of laundry blue arrived in Montrehl. The same sort of blue is still whitening Canadian clothes today. To us, ultramarine is still, literally, "the blue from beyond the seas." NDAY SCHOOL LESSON Round Steak,. Served This.

Different SOrt Of "Chain Gang" Man is sinful; yes, dead in his sins. But God loves us in spite of our sin. So great is that love that ,He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to save us. We didn't deserve- it but god is rich in mercy. This is grace; the unmerited favor of God. We are not saved, by joining a church nor by any works we may do, We are saved by be- lieving on Jesus Christ. It's as simple as that. Yet the change is radical. We turn our back on ungodliness and worldly lusts and live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. We do not live as those who feel they are missing a lot. We have an upward look, "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus. Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto him- self a peculiar people, zealous of good works:" To be one of God's peculiar people does not imply less intelligence. It is an echo of what God said concerning Israel; "Ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all peo- ple." Exodus 19:5. Jesus Christ forgives and purifies to Himself a people for his own possession. We •are peculiar in the sense that we are his particular property. He has bought us by his own blood. Do you , belong to Jesus Christ? He died that you might be His. Faith makes the contact. Good works will follow. .How did our ancestors survive when. Arctic glaciers covered Fatrope 15,000 years ago? From Santander, Spain, eornee word that a priest, Father jesus Car- bane, Ape seventy-six, may soon solve this mystery, Father Carballo has spent most of his life crawling through a maze of tunnels and caves some thirty miles south- west of .Santander on Spain's north coast. He has discovered arrow- heads, bone implements, paint- ings on walls and other clear indications of a vast under- ground Ice Age -City, Some of these tunnels descend for more than a mile into the bowels of the earth. Father Carballo believes that some 13,000 years ago wander- ing human beings fourid the caves, :and went into them for shelter, While the women re- mained in the depths below to tend the children and to make hunting weapons, the men went foraging for food. As word spread of the caves, others came and joined these men, and women until there was a vast population living under the mountain's. Kings who sat upon stone thrones ruled the population and regular meetings took place to decide the future moves of these primeval people. Artists decor- ated the walls of the caves with bison and wild horse drawings. With the melting of the ice cap, the caves fell in after the dwellees had moved out. The caves were first discov- ered more than 100 ,years ago, but lost sight of until 1880. NO one took much notice of them until Father Carballe came to Santander as a young priest in 1905 and began his explorations. In April, 1952, Father Car- "ballo stumbled by accident on the ancient king's throne room near Mount Castillo. Now he is going to re-enter the maze of caves in search of further proof that our ancestors ' sheltered here when the world was a block of ice. Here's a kind of "chain gang" you might like to start or join. Yes, it means work, but work for you as well as by you, with lots of fun in the precess. And it's- one gang your husband will approve of, too. Alderwood Manor, a residen- tial community just north of Seattle, boast "The Chain Gang," Its 10 members have been donn- ing work clothes and reporting for duty at 8;30 every Wednes- day morning for two years. Husbands of the members are still amazed at what the gals have accomplished and they have been spared, Mrs. Emma Dennis started it all. •She was tired of always being behind with her hoese- work and not having time or energy for those extra projects that do so much to Spruce up a home. She figured some of her neighbors must be in the same fix. They were, So they decided to pool their energies one morn- ing a week and see what could be done. They find there is almost nothing that •can't •be done. "We figure we can tackle most any- thing now," Mrs. Dennis said happily. "We've taken out partitions, put in insulation, painted houses inside and out, cleaned daven- can, complete .with, .sea- living kit, who also had heard of the diamonds to be found in the rives and stream's of inland Brazil. " The Siernels looked goggle- eyed at the, outfit strapped to the American's pack mule: He reasoned that if a few diamonds (as had been reported) could be dug from the banks of the rivers, then more and bigger diamonds would be found in the middle. Diamonds were indeed found,' . but the simple-Minded diamond diggers scratching and ,panning for stones believed that the Am- erican was poaching on their claims by walking underwater to their stakings and helping himself. 'The idea was ridicu- lous, but the angry diggers wouldn't have it so. The situation was beginning to look ugly and blood' leoked likely to be spilt before Sasha Siemel took a hand, The American was • prevailed upon to accept ten diamonds for the diving outfit. After the transaction the new owner promptly took an eke and smashed the helmet,' slashed through the hose,. and left the wreckage ' as a 'testimony to peade: It is said that there are many Old,, hunters, and many bold hunters, ,but that there. are few old" bod hunters..

The stamp features "The Madonna of Pity," from a mar- ble group by Michelangelo, now In St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Farm work is neither repeti- tive nor monotonous. The sea- sons, even the hours, vary the tasks. The man who plows, plants, and cultivates can see the tangible result of his indi- vidual effort. He knows that the more wisely he carries on his work, the greater will his return Joe. He can enjoy a kind of per- sonal pride that is denied to millions who work in a mech.. anical routine. , * • Those who deal with the gen- eral public, and those who are cogs• in large organizations, envy a 'farmer for his personel inde- pendence. He may never in his life tell anyone to go to hades, but he knows he can do so with- , put teeing his customers. or his job. He can buy where he 'pleases, and sell where he gets - the best deal.

The few pre-school children among them are all cared for by one of the mem- bers' daughters while the work goes on. No one slacks down on the job, I was told and each morn- ing flies by. It's nothing for the gang to paint a whole kitchen and dining room at one meet- ing. ,By now each member has had a substantial portion of her home remodeled. "We've got so many things done that we'd keep putting off or just couldn't do ourselves, things we didn't went to wait for our husbands to do, or didn't want to ask them to do," explained one mem- ber. 4 One such ,chore was gleaning out a garbage pit that had been used behind one home by the previous owner, The gang moved in with shovels and wheel- barrows, carted the stuff away, then turned the erstwhile un- sightly hole into a handsome rockery. In general every member tackles anything, but where one excels "--e say at sewing, like, Mrs. Lillian Robinson, or ;at paieting, like Mrs. Dennis -- special chores are saved up for . her.
