Reflective Clothes To Keep Kids Safe Eta6bits Nibbled Tops Off Trees ; A inilixestern salesman, driv- ing alopg_a dark road one night, in a hurry to reach hdme after a heavy week on the road, sud- denly saw strange, bobbing lights ahead. He applied his brakes. Pulling his car to the side of the road, he got out to investigate and found four boys who had been calmly walking in the line of traffic. "What do you fellows think you're doing," he asked, "walk- ing out here in the dark? I might have hit you." "Not with our reflective clothes on," the ...smallest boy spoke up. "We're safe at night with these on." "What do you mean, reflective clothes?" the, driver demanded. "Didn't you see lights when the beam from your car hit us?" A Curfew For Teen-age Drivers.? Should there be a midnight curfew on teen-age driving? This would be a drastic pro- posal, but unless. milder PS- 'mints have some effect there May be serious suggestions in this direction in the interests of safety, A .group of state traffic and law enforcement officials con- ferred .recently with Gov, Abree hem A. Ribicoff of .Oonnectieut.. Among several recommenda- tions resulting from the eon- ference was one that parents should restrict the use of fam- ily cars by their children -unless . the youngsters returned home by midnight, This was based on the facts that although the Connecticut accident record is lower- this year than last, the number of fatalities is higher, and that early morning crashes. by teen- apes using family cars have contributed significently to this total. .Any parent with a teen- age .driver or .drivers in the family knows the difficulty of keeping control of the family ear. It is a problem on which parents need the support of each other and perhaps of pub- lic officials. Some parents perhaps would welcome the backing of a law which ruled drivers of under 20 off the highway after 12 or 1 o'clock at night. This, however, would penalize many for the of- fenses of a few. If extreme proposals are to be averted, the answer must be sought first in driver training with an emphasis on safe- • ty, in resolute parental con- trol, and in a sense of responsi- bility—which in this motor age has to be acquired early or - else some privileges becomes too e costly for society to sustain.— From The Christian Science Monitor. . • have substantial numbers Of ad herents in Ceylon. The variety and richness of Ceylon's cultural heritage is due in large measure to the clash of ideas from three Continents , The populatien numbers just over seven mile lien (1950). The people can be classified• in various ways. Fos, instance, one can say that PO per cent are engaged in agricul- ture, 10 per cent arc engaged in industry, 7 per cent are traders, and so on, Or the people can be classified by religion and one can say that 04 per cent are Buddhists, 19 per cent are Hin- dus, 9 per cent are Christians, and 6 per cent are Moslems, Or they can be classified by com- munities and one can say that 69 per cent are Sinhalese, 11 per cent are Ceylon' Tamils, 12 per cent are Indian Tamils, and 6 per cent are Moors, . The im- portant thing about a person is not the category in which he appears in a census table but his personality, the environment into which he is born, the ways he lives. , Only one person in ten is em- ployed in ,manufacturingindust- ries, transport and mining whereas in a highly industrial- ized country like Britain about half the working population is so employed. This fact has in- fluenced the character of •the people. 'Life, for the majority, is simple ,and unhurried. The peasant cultivates what he needs for himself and his family, and sells any'surplus in order to sup- ply his modest needs . Nine people out of, ten live in the countryside. — From "Ceylon,* by SYDNEY, D. BAILEY. 1952. COMMON SORT Ceylon' Where Life is Simple, Unhurried "I haven't met your husband. What's he like?"

As Eleanor Richy Johnson writes in The Christian Science Monitor, all you need do is mix your filling, cool, and pour R Into a crust of plain pastry -- or one made of graham crack- ers, corn flakes or cracker crumbs — and then let your refrigerator do the balance of the work. * * Something really new in the dessert spotlight is cantaloupe chiffon pie. It drainatizes the delightful flavor Of these popu- lar melons. Pour this filling in- to a graham cracker pie shell, decorated With whipped cream, and chill. CANTALOUPE CHIFFON PIE 1 medium cantaloupe, peeled 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin Most travellers who have vi- sited Ceylon have been at once impressed with the beauty and colour of the country. Sir Emer- son Tennent begins his classic book on Ceylon, published a century ago, with' these words: "Ceylon, from whatever direc- tion it may be approached, un- folds a scene of loveliness and grandeur unsurpassed, if it 'be rivalled, by any land in the uni- verse." Such unrestrained ad- miration is typical. The modern traveller, no less than his pre- decessors down the centuries, echoes Reginald Heber's senti- ment that "every prospect pleases." Ceylon is a pearl-shaped is- land, lying in the tropics off the southern tip of India. Its area is approximately 25,000 square miles, that is, about, the same as Tasmania, the American State of West Virginia, or the Repub- lic of Ireland. Early writers greatly exaggerated its size. Marco Polo thought it had a circumference o f 2,400 miles, about four times as great as the actual circumference. Ceylon's strategic position in the Indian Ocean has been df great importance in influencing the Island's history. It has al- ways been. very much of a cos- mopolitan country, and Chinese, Indian, Malay, Arab, African arid European immfgrantZ have lived and worked side by side with the native inhabitants.

During the hot, dry summer a carelessly discarded cigarette- end, a smouldering camp fire, or even an old glass bottle intensi- fying the rays of the sun, may start a devastating forest fire. Forest Rangers and look-out men at high-altitude vantage points never relax their watch for the tell-tale wisp of smoke. Dangerous though they are, forest fires are not the only perils facing Rangers. In his book, "Smoke Over Sikinaska" the story pf a Forest Ranger — J. S. Gowland relates a hair- raising experience he had while acting as look-out in a tiny log hut perched on the top of a 9,000- foot mountain. With the aid of powerful binoculars, he could keep an eye on well over 2,000 square miles of territory. 'But it also gave him an unwanted grandstand view of all the might and energy of an electrical thunderstorm. The crashing of thunder seem- ed to make the mountain tremble; soon the whole atmos- phere was filled with a sulphur- ous smell. The cabin itself was well supplied with conductors, large copper strips leading down from each corner of the fdn-like conductor on the reef, the strips earthing themselves through a thick cable running down to water 2,000 feet below. The light- ning played vividly round the conductor§ in a brilliant firework display, and on • occasion the earthing cable, hefty as it was, glowed red with heat. Steam hissed angrily from the cable and rocks each time the lightning struck through the 'torrential rain. After the storm ended, the amount of electricity stored up inside the cabin was sufficient to, cause a four-inch spark to jump from the handle of the door when the author went to turn it. Even the metal stove was "alive", The author liked his Forest Ranger's job, and loved nature; he records some delightful anec- dotes concerning the furry in- habitants of his territory. One can visualize the look of disbe- lief on the face of a tourist who asked his guide what sort of creature gnawed 'the loftY trees so close to their tops. "Rabbits,' replied the guide truthfully. During the winter months heavy downfalls of snow cover the ground almost to treetop height and provide a sufficiently firm surface to permit the snow- shoe rabbits to stand on their hand legs and feed off the upper leaves. Bears, with their amusing ha- bits and natural inquisitiveness, gave him quit a bit of fun. These amiable amblers are peaceful enough if treated with respect, but can be .tough customers if annoyed. Even the youngsters carry a terrific punch. A party of holidaymakers en a fishing expedition went off to fish, leaving in charge of the camp a heavily built dog. While they were away, a small brtiwn beat invited himself in. Seeing at once that his visit was un- welcome, the beat turned tail and 'fled; bellowing ferociously, With the hound in close pursuit. The young bear, tealizing the futility of trying to Outpade the snarling hound; suddenly elithere ed to a AO, whirled round, and struck the dog a mighty 'WOW hi the ribs that echoed through the forest, The rough dog went Somersaulting over and over for several. yardso• picked himself 'up and made a bee line back to the peace and quiet of the tent. .

The boys all stepped into the rays from his headlights. Im- mediately the tops of their caps, the stripes in their sport shirts, even the cuffs on one boy's sport jacket, took on bright gleams. They were the hobbing lights that had caused the driver to stop his car in' plenty of time. "We're playing visible men!" the little boys laughed. "Our clothes are made with reflective yarn. They're new and we're trying them out to prove drivers can see us in the dark." "You've got something all right, fellows," the driver had to admit. "But keep to the side of the road and make use of your reflective garments when you have to cross over." • He went home and told his wife about the new clothing. The next day they went on a shop- ping trip and found many types of clothing, well styled, Which reflected light when headlights hit it, making the wearer visible to a driver hundreds of 'feet away. The bonus he such gar- ments was the fact that they looked no different from others in ordinary circumstances.
