Venice, The romantic, gon- dolas, in which countless cou- ples have pledged their love as they 'glided,. along the canal streets on jnOunlit nights, are being.mechanized. By the spring at, least thirty motor gondolas will be In use, the gondoliers having forsaken their oars for gasoline, Not all the famous oarsmen, however, Will vanish, but their numbers are expected tO dwindle every year. Once there were 10,00Q gon- dolas plying the Grand Canal; today there are fewer than PO. But the can ' " still lined with marble and stone palaces, still one of the most romantic places in the world. The water is salt and free-owing and comes in from the Adriatic. You soon get used to its, sharp and acrid smell. Travellers say the gondola is the most luxurious craft in the world. You lie in it almost at full length on soft black cushions with the gondolier out of sight behind you. As the long slow strokes of his oar carry you si- lently along on a warm summer night, faintly over the still wa- ter comes the sound ,pf ' violins, guitars and flutes playing dreamy melodies. Will the chug-chug of its en- gine kill the romance of the gondolier? Some people say it will, but others believe the gon- dola—gasoline-driven or other- wise—will always remain a pop- ular part of the lovely, theatri,- cal Venetian scene. . Rich. Venetian families used to keep four gondolas—one for the head of the family, one for his wife, one for the children and a fourth for the servants. Today such families have elegant mo- tor-boats. Venice holds a great gondola festival every September when colourfully draped gondolas stream down the Grand Canal watched by great crowds lining the banks. The most attractive gondolas receive prizes from the hands of "the fairest lady pres- ent." • A CAR-RAZY JOURNEY — Aldo Abir inspects the "Turtle Express," a 1928 Pontiac he is driving from his home in Montevideo, Uruguay, to Montevideo City; Minn., and other U.S. points.

FERGUS LANDRACE SWINE FARM FERGUS ONTARIO An Old Whale Ship Except for some additional equipment, and a few details of rig, the vessels employed in the whale fisheries were identical with the others of the same per- iod. Barks were preferred be- cause they were handier 'and lay-to better, so a good many ships were changed over to that rig, but at the same time a good many ships were used. There was no hull that was typical, some were deep and some shal- low, some blunt and some sharp, some had deep flat transoms and some had shallow ones that were curved.. In most there was a straight run of deck from stem to stern, 'but in some there was a raised quarter deck.. . . The crews were islanders for the most part, because rowing was the most important thing •they had' •to do, - and boys—and girls—brought up On islands learn at an early age, how to handle row boats. They are obliged to because small boats `are about the only island vehi- cle, about the only means, and by far the most convenient, of island transportation. The crew's ;natural ability as oarsmen, their training by the mates, together with the build of their craft, made the New England whale boat ,a thing without an equal. The whale boats on their great wooden cranes establish the identity of •these ships at once, even at a distance of several miles. The common size was twenty-eight feet for the length, six feet for the width, and one foot, ten inches deep in the mid- dle, increasing to three feet, one inch at the bow and an inch or two more at the stern. They were built of light wood, usually white cedar..: . The ideal way to examine the differences between a whaler and any other ship would be to compare them as they lay at their wharves; to look over a clipper, a Liverpool packet, or a ship that brought hides front California, and then look over a whaler at a nearby wharf, but those days have gone, such ships no longer sail and few even exist. Charles W. Morgan, at South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, is the only one left on the. New England coast, and every man who has an interest in sailing ship& at sea, Or the history of the United States, Might to, and will it is hoped, give thanks to Col. E. H. R.'Greek for pre- serving it, and to the group of New Bedford men who made its preservation possible. — From "The Whale Ship Book," by Joseph T. Higgins.

The building scheduled to rise to time for 19e7 rehearsals will be a steel-frame structure, air-condi- tioned to keep opt the heat of a south-western Ontario summer, soundproofed to insulate the per- fortnaeces against the eoise of pass- ing planes, trains, and Avon River small craft. The exterior walls will be a combination of masonry, red cedar; and glass, the roof will be of copper. The interior will merely develop on its existing foundations, the bas- ic plan of the present auditorium; with a 084-seat balcony above the raked tiers of seats which overlook the platform stage. The purpose of the balcony is not to enlarge the seating •capacity but to make for more comfortable spacing. The pillared stage will retain Its present features — including ac- cess from auditorium Aisles and the below-stage area. Backstage ewill accommodate rehearsals and will eventually provide ,space for property and costume departments: Although the. Strahford plaanere intend retaining the semPElizebe- than stage which is a firm feature of the Guthrie-inspired tradition, the new auditorium will be capable transformation into something approaching e conventional pre ecenium-stage theater, On Aug. 18,- the Stratferd com• pity will give what will likely be its last public performance of Shakespeare under the Big Top The company is, Scheduled to depart immediately thereafter to act "Hen- ry V" .and "Oedipus Rex" at the Edinburgh Festival. • But the vast gray spread of can. vas •-•• 33 and a half tons of it — will not immediately sag and Bat- ten to the ground. It will serve as a protective shelter during the' ear- ly stages of work on thenew ing. 'With this service done, tent master "Skip" Manley and his ex- pert crew are scheduled to dis- mantle, fold, and take the tent away. There will be sadness in Strat- ford' at the disappearance of the, temporary home in which -brave be- ,ginnings were made and bright hopes realized. There will be joy that the people of Canada have tea-. pended to make, the second part of a• great dream come true.

Art and theater exhibitions Were added in 1054. Last season the ,board of governors inaugurated a Music ,Feetival, which will be re- peated this year. Thus far, there has been no attempt to effect Dr. Guthrie's idea of launching a me- sh: barge on, the Avon it should by all rights be drawn by several white swans. But 'no one who has watched the festival grow from its brave beginnings will readily limit its future possibilities. For the 1050 season, however, the officials like contenting themselves with such peripheral activities as a theatrical exhibition arranged by the British theater historiau, Rich- ard Southern, an international film festival, a premiere National Gal- lery exhlbition of works by Tehlet- chef, and Lesie Hurry; and the sec- ond annual Music Festival. The Shakespearean plays, which , are'still the thing at Stratford, will be "IlenryV" and "The Merry Wives of Windsor." Rehearsing un- der Michael Langham, the testis- 'ire new artistic director, is a com- pany which includes Christopher Plummer, -Douglas Campbell, Eric House, William Hutt, and Eleanor Stuart, most of whom are Stratford veterans. • If, as, they have a way of do- ing, present Stratford plans ma- terialize, this will be the last Bea- son ,of Shakespeare under canvas in the theatrical capital " on the • shores of Canada's AVon. Visitors.. whS have grown agreeably emus- - tomed' to the tent's blue canoPec:e, will- probably applaud the plan to model the theater's permaneficea home somewhat along the lines of the temporary enclosure in which ,the project auspielotisly began its career.

From the Maritime Provinces to ;British Columbia, committees under- the national chairmanship of C9i, M. C, G. Meighea have been ap- ?eating to Canadian generosity, concern for cultural growth, and national pride. The appeals have not been made in vain, Gifts of every size have been received, A. Stratford janitor gent $24 A Peterborough school class donated $10. The largest gift so far, 4100,000, came from the J. P. Pickeil Foendation and will be used for the now theater's gel- lery. According to Tom Patterson, who sparked the festtval, eupport for the building fund drive has been nationwide. The Ontario Provincial Govern- ment, which indicated its interest with a modest $500 gift the firat season, has appropriated $100,000 toward the permanent theater, To- rontonians have quadrupled their donations this year over 1953. Many business concerns, includ- ing a considerable number which have never before given financial support to a cultural venture, ere swing the long list of the building fund's benefactors. This is charac- teristic example of the unfereeeen, widely ranging, and galvanizing, effects of the lively and expandieg. festival program on Canadian' at- titudes and thinking. Mr. Patterson Is known,, among other things,,, as the man whose project has had more coverage in the foreign press than any Canadi- an news event since the Dionne quintuplets.

But Pasteur and his fol- lowers showed that heating milk to certain temperatures for a certain time killed all harmful germs without affecting the taste or significantly reducing the food value. Nowadays we pasteurize milk by heating it to not less than' 161 deg. F. for fifteen seconds 01-.145 to 150 degrees for thirty minutes.

The only two nutrients generally admit- -tedto be appreciably affected by heat are vitamins B and C, and in any case We mostly rely on other foods to supply us With these vitamins. Milk's valuable protein, for building healthy bo- dies, its calcium, for bones and. teeth, its other minerals, and its riboflavin (Vitamin B2) are un- affected. The World Health Organiza- tion went into the question ex- haustively a year or two ago. Their conclusions completely ex- onerated pattenrization from all charges , of interfering with the food value. Some people say that it wrong to tamper in any way With na- ture's perfect food. They forget that when they pour milk In tea Or coffee, or use it in cooking, they are "pasteurizing" milk far more drasically, than any dairy plant. Logically, such people should live on raw eggs, fish, or vegetables—rather than cook'- ed. What are the'positive behefits of pesteurizetion?
