(BOB) VON PILLS Here's a new idea for making • a pot mast even tastier than Issue- At least it was new to me tap to 4 week or so ago; but rye tried it and it was so good Mat I hasten to Pass it along. * To make a pat roast "deelicl- eus," Mrs. Alice Macdonald, De$ Moines, Iowa, recommends sea- soning jt with a can of onion ;Otis), "No other seasoning need be added," she says. "Brown meat all over when cooking on top of stove and add enough hot water to start the 'oolong. Add the onion soup; simmer for several hours; watch and add a little more water, if needed. When the meat is done and. ten- der, the liquid should be in the meat and not in the Dutch oven!" • * * Ever taste a rich yellow cheese cake, the Way they serve it in. Vienna? If not, you've really been missing something I Here's bow you go about making it. VIENNA CHEESE CAKE For the Pastry: 3/4 pound self-raising flour 3 ounces butter (6 tablespoons) 3 ounces sugar 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup milk Pinch of salt Mix flour, sugar, and salt, and • rub in the butter; add oil and, milk, mix to smooth dough. Roll- Out just over a ctimiters inch thick, and line a greased baking pan (about 10x10x1 inch). For the Riling: 1 pound cream cheese 2 eggs, beaten 2 egg, yollisfi beaten 34 cup milk 4 ounces sugar • 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Cream cornstarch with a spoonftil of "milk; blend with milk and sugar added alternately. Gradually stir in the beaten *ggs and yolks. Spread filling in pastry shell; bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees A colossal iceberg estimated to b e i aream4: s e nO i7t0h° e Aug agrees t eever'S reported — was...seen recently by the U,S, ice-breaker Atka drift- ing northwards in the Antarctic. It is believed to have broken Off from the Antarctic continent some time in January. .just now many 'bergs break away from the great ice cap of the north. The International Ice Patrol, inaugurated as a direct result of the Titanic disaster, is getting busy tracking and des- troying them. They are destroyed by mines exploded under them or by gun- fire. But sometimes a 'berg is so delicately balanced' that the touch of a man's, hand can upset it. This delicate poise is caused by the constant raya of the sun on the exposed part and the corro- sive action of the salt water on the submerged part. Icebergs that sometimes men- ace the shipping lanes in spring often w ei g h 2,000,000 tons or more. Seven-eighths of a 'berg's mass is below water. Some 'bergs rise above the water three times higher than Si. Paul's Cathedral. In the spring of 1841 a grue- some sight was seen by watchers off the coast of St. John's, New- foundland: a gigantic iceberg in the centre of which, embedded between two hills of ice, Were tow ships with no living being in them and their masts gone. The ships had been missing for years. When a ship hits an iceberg the impact usually takes plac,e below the water-line. That is why the ships founder with such tragic swiftness. Luckily such disasters are now "extremely rare. Sometimes a ship which strikes a 'berg manages to limp home as: did the liner Arizona in 1879, after colliding with a white mon- ster , about 250 miles east of St. Alin's, Newfoundland. Many of the 500 passengers were flung from their berths ands half-clad men, women and .chil- -dren made for the boats, con- vinced that the `liner was sink- ing: . The 'berg had made a gaping wound 20 feet wide in the liner, but although everything fragile aboard had been smashed, not a single human life had been lost. "Well, you are an independent young woman!" But then with eager hands he drew her to him, When she re- sisted he struck her in the eye. Gasping out her story-,' Bvelyn Old how in 'the struggle she lost consciousness and recovered only as the car jolted over the moor. The only other significant de- tail in E velyn Foster's story was that the man had told her he had been picked up earlier by a party_ of 'motorists on their way to Hexham. They were three Scotsmen in a saloon car. Subsequently t h e. 13, B. C. broadcast this description, and the police appealed to the three men to come forward. They did so. But, strangely enough, they strongly denied giving a lift to anyone, It was perhaps one of the oddest of the odd details in this case . . , and by this time Eve- lyn Foster had died of her in- juries, No Bruise Marks Then the mystery deepened. At the inquest an eminent pa- thologist asserted that there was no evidence of bruising on the dead girl's face; and no evidence of other details in her story. Evelyn Foster's p e rs o n a 1 jewellery and her handbag had not been touched. What of the possibilities of accident? Examination of the burnt-out taxi revealed that the valves, the ignition and carburetter were in perfect circler. There was no trace of abnormal heat below the line of the float cham- ber. Evelyn Foster's clothes seemed to have been soaked in petrol • . • and in the back of the car was a burnt-out petrol tin. s It was kept there for emer- gencies, but the cap had been removed from the two-gallon tin before the fire started. Questions of motive imme- diately arose. It was hinted that Evelyn Fos- ter might have committed sui- cide in order that others might benefit from the insurance money. It was ascertained that she had policies worth $3,500. ' Yet this theory hardly held water "for she also had complete command of a small personal ,fortune of £1,400. If Evelyn Foster had struggled with a man, her body might have' borne indications of bruising. The pathologists de- clared that no external marks suggesting injury other than the fatal burning had been found anywhere. It took the inquest jury two hours to bring in their verdict of murder against some person' or persons unknown. - The verdict, said Mr. Foster, vindicated his daughter's hon- our. But the murderer had dis- appeared into thin air and has never been seen to this day.

It is part of a Deporta- tion Camp series. Farming is a way of life and time was when it was' the free- est way of life open to any man willing to accept the physical hardship connected 'with it. As soon as a man owned an honest piece of land, he was in the posi- tion to set up house and raise a family on the product of his toil. With 'God's help, he pro- duced enough to trade some of his surplus on the open market for manufactured and processed goods, most of which were im- ported duty-free. In those days, the farmer sold his product and bought his 'necessities at prices which were regulated by supply and demand, as well as cpm- petition. Protection for Inaustry With a rapidly growing popu- lation, more and more manu- facturing industries sprang up all over the country. Many of them were financially too weak to stand up against the corn- petition of older and more ex- perienced manufacturers in other countries. Soon the demand rose for protection of these new under- takings by the imposition of custom duties on imported goods. Succe,eding governments complied with the wishes of the industrialists, with the result that a:the farmer had to pay priCes artificially h el d higher than those of the world market. But still he had to sell everything that he produced at prices over which he had no control. • Time and again the farmers revolted, against conditions which threatened to make them hewers of wood and drawers of water. The Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, United Farmers of MASTER "CARVER",,:.

Six 'times the batting champ of the Na- tional League, he's carved a - career average of .344, batted .330 In 1954.. Ontario, Progressives, C-opera- tive Commonwealth. Federation, Federation of Agriculture, and now the Farmers Unions, are all _attempts to do co-operatively what the farmer' could not do for himself • individually, viz., bring him parity of status in society, and an equitable share in 'the national income. Production Efficiency On the Other hand, there have always been those ,who opposed all co-operative action in the economic and political field and advocated concentration of ef- fort on production efficiency. The reasoning usually' was that the farmer is no business man, that he should look, after his land and stock and leave the marketing of his products to the "experts." The argument that all would be well as long .as farmers would produce a quality pro-' duct at low cost, is specious for, the simple reason that the, farmer has no control over a large part of his production costs and that the hest product will not bring a profitable return if the price is set onesidedly by the buyer. Marketing Efficiency Production efficiency will not get the expected results unless it is accompanied by marketing efficiency. Over the last' fifty years, a new system has de- veloped, characterized by Big-. ness. In every branch of manu- facturing and processing, many. small companies have disappear- ed by merging with others. Today, practically every field is dominated by 'a few big cor- porations, which by their sheer size and wealth control markets „ and prices, especially if they combine their forces. The answer, of course, is co- operative marketing of fdrm products through provincial and national marketing boards whose members are to be elect- ed by the producers and not appointed by governments.

As if in a hideous dream . . . a nightmare beyond her worst .imagining . . . pretty Evelyn Foster recovered consciousness in the wildly jolting car. Shud- dering back through the dark curtains .of 'oblivion, she became aware that the man had, left her side. The car atoppdd and a tiny flame flared in the moor- land night. The next second there was a small explosion. Unable to cry out, she watched as the car be- came a blazing holocaust of fire. Scorching agony racked her limbs. Gasps of burning suffoca- tion filled her throat. As she fought frenziedly to open. the door of the car, it seemed that the man had walk- ed back along the road. Amid the glare of the flames, she af- terwards remembered another car, the voices of men in whis- pered conversation, the other car driving away. . . . And' then suddenly she was out of the burning car, her clothes half seared away. . . . Was it indeed a nightmare? Some terrible illusion? • Or was it murder? High on the lonely Northum- brian moors between Newcastle and Otterburn, a bus driver was returning in his empty bus after the last night journey when he and his conductor saw the oar smouldering like a giant bon- fire on the grassland verge. Oddly- enough, this occurred in January, 1931, when all Bri- tain was already discussing the mystery of a blazing car found on a lonely road and Alfred Rouse, thaI Don JUan of kill- ers, was on trial for his life. The Rouse case provided the first instance in British crimin- al history of the use of a blaz- ing car as a -vehicle., for • Murder. But now, in the month of the. Rouse trial, there came this set- arid macabre horror. Stopping their bus, the driver and his mate stepped down . . and now' they heard Evelyn Foster's piteous moans, her dy- ing cries for water. Prom the waist down her re- maining clothes were little more than ash. Her hands were black from 'the effects of night frost, her face discoloured. "That awful man!" she muttered. "That awful Man!" With horror, the busmen red- ognized the tragic figure — the daughter of the garage proprie- tor for whom they worked. At Foster's garage Evelyn often, drove the taxi customers. Only that day she bad driven three passengers to the local village. of Rochester.
