LOTS OF "PLUCK" - Cathy Mc- Cartney, 4, plucks a tune on a huge banjo at a music industry trade show, where news of na- tional revival of interest in the banjo made sweet music to the instrument makers' ears. Stores Sunshine In Her Cellar To test new methods of 'ob- taining solai' energy and con- verting it into cheap electric power, Israel is building a new plant which scientists confi- dently believe will enable them to "plug into the sun" all the time it is shining, For several hundred" years science .has dreamed 'of'finding a perfect method of trapping the heat of the sun, At the sun's centre the" temperature is caleil- lated to be thirty million de- grees. Its surface is practically cold by comparison --- a 'mere 10,000 degrees .Fahrenheit At present most of, the; count- less millions of horsepower of pure energy rained on the earth from the sun, which is 93,000,000 miles, away, is ewasted. One day, say the, scientists, the sun will regularly supply us with all the energy we need. " Its rays could drive' every ma- chine in the world, heat every building, 'light every house — and still leave a surplus of en- ergy. Says one expert: "Your house will then be warm in winter, thanks to conservation of the sun's rays, and cool in summer —comfortable all the year round but without the dirt or cost of stoves, furnaces or expensive re- frigerating apparatus." Ensnaring the sun's rays and putting them to work, however, is a formidable task which may not be fully accomplished until long after the year 2,000. But already "solar houses" have been built in various parts of the world, At one in Cambridge, Massachusetts, scientists have found a way to store energy from the sun in an enormous at- tic tank. which holds "1,200 gal- lons of water. How is it done? The sun's rays are ingeniously trapped by, a huge black metal sheet, or plate, installed on the roof and facing south at an angle of 57 degrees. This plate has a number of cop- per tubes attached 'to it through which the sun-warmed water flows tc the insulated tank. The water is then ciraulated° "through a series of • other pipes incorporated in room; ceilings throughott the hOuse Which is thus comfortably warmed. It is claimed that the house- can be kept at a temperature of GO degrees. Fahrenheit at all times. Blonde, attractive Dr. Maria Telkes, a Hungarian scientist, who also lives in Massaehusetts, set out in 1949 of prove that it is possible to live in a house without coal, gas, electricity or any other source of heat but the sun. She built a modern-style cot- tage, but features that differed from the conventional home in- chided a shed-like roof and a south wall consisting mainly of smell windoWe. She trapped the sun's rays by a device built in jest above the windows, carrying them by a circulator to a series of "heat bins" in the cellar. These bins she filled with a cheap chemi- cal. The incoming heat, Melted the chemical, And as it.sOlidified again the obliging cheritical gaire off heat Whith was disitibuted by fans and ducts ell '"over the hieuse. On the winter day the moved' in, br, telkes recorded` these temperatures: outdoors, 49 de, grees'; hickibre, 71 ' degrees, The least Pain in our little finger gives its More bbnceria and tineasinees, than .the de- struction of millions of our fel- if AttITT „ There has to be a first time for everything and last week we had it. That is to say for five days we had the privilege of taking care of our grandson without the help of his parents. Daughter was away to camp with her troop of Girl Guides and Art was busy on 'the trans- portation end of the affair. So . . . we had Dave. He was asleep in his cot in, our room when his parents left and we wondered what the reaction would be the next morning. We need not have worried. Dave accepted the sit uation and took everything his stride. It was very hot and humid.,, . . as if I need to tell you . . so we decided that for once in his life Dave could go without shoes and socks as his mother did when she was young. The lawn was hard and dry and we wondered if his feet would be too tender to stand it. But they did. Part of the 'time Grandpa was building a stone garden walk. Dave, nearby, amused himself by getting in and out of a small wash-tub into which Partner had poured a pail of water. The supply didn't last too long as Dave got a couple of tobacco tins and busily baled it out. It. didn't matter how wet he got as his clothing was re- duced to a pair of training pants. Poor little chap — he usually settles down so well at night but for several nights there wasn't a breath of air and he was naturally restless. So on two occasions I took him out of his cot and we sat on the front steps together to cool off. After that I put him back in his cot and he went right if to sleep. Strange how children will find their own, favourite playthings. My little two-year-old niece in England has lovely .toys but her pet plaything was a smell jar half filled with mixed buttons. She never tired of tipping them out and picking them up again. Dave's mania was to see how many stones he could pick up off the driveway. Every time he came into the house one chubby little hand would be grasping a fair-size stone—and woe be- tide us if we tried to take it away! A set of farm animals was another joy—two horses, two cows, a pig and a sheep. He sat in his high chair and played with them and at meal-time the animals had to be fed as well as Dave. We made it a rule that the animals Must be put ,back 'in their box when he went to bed, With the exception of one. He was allowed to, take either the pig or ,the sheep with hire, firm- ly grasped in his wee hands Of course our snpremacy as caretakers ended' When Mummy and Dad apPeated on the scene: At. that age—nOt quite twci-, grandpatents just don't count if the, patents are around. So Jot' that season We were glad to have Davey to Ourselves and to know I that we could Manage hire With. out any trouble should an emer- gency arise.

Robbie, our Welsh. Corgi, is a nice little house dog but as a watch-dog he doesn't amount to much and we have the idea that a good guard dog on a farm is a necessity these days. Rusty the Second is that all right but' he needs quite a bit of training. So far he has only to bark and people keep their distance. We had a "Rusty" once before so this dog has to be Rusty the Second. Robbie, of course, is frightfully jealous but the cats ,don't mind him at all. In fact Partner said he wit- nessed the funniest thing last night he has seen for a long time. Rusty and Robbie were having a wrestling match out- side, half playing, half fighting with a good deal of growling mixed in. Black Cat Joe was sit- ting on top of the woodpile look- ing on. All at once Joe raced over to the dogs, jumped in be- tween them and broke it up. The dogs were so surprised they stopped immediately. Then Re- feree Joe calmly walked away and went back to the woodpile! Well, I really think this is the happiest morning since my re- turn from England — and only because it is pleasantly cool. In the Old. Country I was never warm enough but I can certainly take the cool weather better than the heat, especially when it goes on day after day. It is exhaus- ting to say the least. Sometimes I think there should be a law against working in temperatures over 90 degrees. Who was it said — "Only mad dogs and Engliehmen lie out in the mid- day sun."—or words to that effect. 'Here's hoping we don't get another heat wave for a little while. Some jobs are 'quite impossible in hot weather. SYSTEMATIC She was in bed and her hus- band was making her ,a= cup of tea. "I can't find the tea," he called out. "I don't know what could be easier to find," she answered.
