down, a hal nter lost, a ship

Whenever the call goes out,
from British Columbia to New-

No accurate estimate can be
made on the. number of people
who owe their lives to . Search

as many as 40 missions may be
undertaken; 30 may.. be, and oft-
en are, false alarms, but the.
other 10 may result in One, two

In Korea, so. I've been told,
father makes a' brightly coloured
kite in the form of a dragon. To
the tail of the;kite he ties red

China has a wonderful New

be paid before the new year
dawns otherwise a man would
lose "face. For this reason there
a is great activity, faniong fernseas,

year dies. That is one.. custom

But I nmst tell 'you more about
that in a hAer column. Right
now it is time to wish 'you a
very Happy 1\rth9 'Year, which I
do with 01.1.4 heart,
-I suppose. We are 'all glad to
greet that innocent-looking lit-
tle cherub whom we have come
to accept as symbolic of the
New Year. Perhaps he ,is respon-.
sible for the feeling we get as
we approach the new year — a
feeling that sort of fills us with
renewed hope, optimism and all
kinds of, good intentions. After
all, isn't the New Year like an
unopened book, with twelve un-
written chapters? As time passes
'we ourselves shall help, to. .write
those chapters just as we helped
to write those of 1955. Chapter
and verse are not always written
,the way we expect_or want them
to be, because so • often fate
guides asset - controls our hand
even as we write. Nevertheless
greeting the New Year is, a joy-
ous occasion. Is there anything
lovelier than to hear church
bells 'ringing out across the
frosty night, welcoming the new
born' year.
"Ring out the old, ring in the
new
Ring, happy bells across the
snow-,
The y
Ring out the false, ring in the
truem 'is going; let him go e.-”
When Tennyson wrote those
charming words people used -to
listen for the, church bells to
usher in the New Year: But
new; alas, too often the. peal of
the bells is drowned by the
noise. of horns blowing, whistles
shrieking, clappers, and other
rowdy celebrations that, seem to
be the modern way Of greeting
the New Year. 'Customs in other
lands sometimes seem very
strange4 to us yet many 'of them
are far more romantic and cer-
tainly less noisy than. our, own:
For instance, in Spaip, ,orb .New.,
Year's eve Almeria 'gra,pes‘ are
pulled from their stems and put
into bags twelve grapes to. a
bag. In restaurants patrons 'are
heeded a grape-bag, and they
can else be bought from ven-
dors on the street. At the 'first
stroke of midnight 'Spaniards'
who believe in the old. supersti-
tion try to swallow all twelve
grapes, one at each strike of the
clock. •Good luck for the coming
year depends on the'number of
grapes a person ' can .tswellow.
If two or three are left over it
means that a corresponding
-number of months will elapse
before good fortune begins.

In olden times a grim method
of execution was to bury the ac-
cused alive. If what we hear
about present-day China is true,
the method has been. brought
up to date, It is said. that ene-
mies of the regime are made to
dig their own graves, then they
are forced to stretch themselves
in the narrow trench and earth
is thrown on top of them. If
the guard is feeling merciful
thoy may get a bullet first.
But what of those people who
have buried themselves? In
Tsarist times twenty-five mem-
bers of a fanatical Russian sect,
the "Old Believers," let them ,
selves be buried alive when they
heard there was to be a' new
national census Which meant
registration for military aervice.
