The Highways"
"Evils 11g% in every'foot of
frontage, every acre of land"
along the 41,000 miles of super-
highways about to be built in the
United States, says Robt, Moses.
The evil Ilea in the fact that
these new wonder roads are "en-
tirely unprotected against signs
and billboards." ,
Mr. Moses knotvs what he is
talking about, In his 43 years of
public"service he has become
familiar with the 'hideous high-
ways 'of the congested urban
areas of America. At head of the
New York State Park system
he has worked to preserve the
beauties of parks 'and parkways.
ale redomranda, that signs be
forbidden within 500 feet of the
right of Way on the new Amer-
ican .highways. Also• that the
states be authorized to require
even wider clearance on roads
within their borders;
The act which authorizes a $50
billion outlay on this vast pro,
ject must be amended. There is
no protection at all in the law
as it stands.
Unless the law is amended,
says Mr. Moses, "we face the
prospect of speedwayi built in
gasoline gullies, obliterating
scenery and confined between
continuous rows of• offensive ad-
vertising."
Virginia and North Carolina
with their Blue, Ridge Parkway,
New York, Maryland and. Ohio
have been able to protect their
scenic highways ,to some extent,
largely through the tireless ef-
forts of men like Mr. Moses.
Congress must act to preserve
a view of. America the beautiful

way network. - Birmingham

TV WONDER - Ten-year-old
Robert Strom observes the sun
through a telescope at his home
in the Bronx, N.Y. Ainaled
television audiences have been
watching: the youngster as he
handles difficult problems on
"The $64,000 Question." De-
al*, his genius tendencies,
Robert's interests, like any
other boy's, range from base-
' boll 'to popular music. The
telescope is a 'prize he won on
another TV show.
They Use Snow
Instead of Ice
We raced down the juniper
slopes on the north side of the
Marble Mountain Fre' the
moderately active visitor to the
mountain there are, few more
wonderful things than the wealth
of flowers in summer
Summer On the Ulu Dag is
also the season of the $119117-cuta
tees. And if there is any sound
which has for me the magic,
quality on the mountains, it is
the distant tinkle of bells in the
night, sounding far down in the
forest below the Refuge. As the
bells come nearer, the watcher
will see, if he goes to a window,
a line of donkeys and mules
coming slowly up the road. A
faint dust rises from their,
hooves and shows up in the
acintillant light of the moon. The
spruces line the way like frozen
statues, and their shadows lie
blue on the granity path.
Now the caravan Is passing
the Refuge. The bells sound
strongly as the two drivers on
the leading mules ride past. Be-
hind them the tethered donkeys
follow., And now the tinkle of
.bells lessens, until once again
it falls faintly on the ear and
finally vanishes into the night.
The snow-cutters ride on for
another hour, then mount the
screes to the snow-pit in the
hollow under Zirve cliffs. There
they unstring their axes and
start their labour. Cubes of hard
neve snow are,cut and stored in
panniers lined with felt and cov-
ered with spruce boughs. Each
animal is loaded with a pannier
on both sides,, and before the
eastern skies have reddened
with dawn the caravan is once
again in Movement On the
tourney seven thousand feet
downwards to Bursa.
The snow-cutters leave the
frozen silence of the snow-pit,
and within five hours are sweat-
ing in- the 90° shade heat of the
town. It must be a hard life, de-
manding fortitude and immense
stamina, both of which the An-
atolian peasant possesses in
abundance. The snow is sold in.
Bursa for the equivalent of per-
haps a penny a pound, and en-
ters the ice-boxes of the town
to cool the butter and fruit of
the population.
The profession of snow-cutter
is an ancient' and even honoured..
calling. It is also the appanage
,ef a few families only. I am told ,
that the snow-cutters in some
eases still possess 'Firmans," or
royal letters of appointment
from the Sultanate, dating back
as far as the reign of Suleiman
the Magnificent. The profession
c snow-cutting in Bursa was
for centuries, restricted by edict,
to these families, and passed
down from father to son.
Even in ancient times the Sul-
tan's snow was quarried from
the same snow-pit as the cut-
ters use toddy, and probably car-
ried on the backs of the antes
tern of the same donkeys. Once
in Bursa a special runner ser-
vice of fleet horses bore the'
Snow to the port of Mudanya.

Soil To Order
Perfect garden soil is a rich,
well drained loam which never
bakes, holds moisture well but
does, not become muddy. Un-
fortunately few of us are lucky
enough to find that right at the
door. But so long as we have
not solid rock it is amazing'
what we can do,. The best medi-
cine for any soil, light or heavy,
is a liberal application of old
fashioned barnyard manure. But
manure' is hard to come by in
these modern days and it is lia-
ble to be filled with weed seeds.
And so most of us will have to
turn to something else. Fortun-
ately there are many substitutes,
commercial or chemical ferti-
lizer, special soil conditioners,
sand where the soil is heavy
clay, lime where it is sour, and
humus anywhere. The latter we
can make ourselves. It is simply
rotted down vegetable refuse,
like leaves, grass clippings,
weeds and even clean garbage.
This can be dug directly into
the soil or piled in a corner,
covered ;with layers of earth,
watered occasionally and allow-
ed to rat and then dug in.
Keep It Inforinal
For most garden layouts the
informal lines are best. This
suits the relatively small space
at the disposal of most Canadian
libme owners' and it tends to
,`-make the average garden more
interesting. The general plan is
to have a lawn in' the centre and
foreground with the .shrubbery
and flowers arranged in irregu-
lar ,eltunps all along the sides
and 'at the back.
This is where the height of
'mature plants and time and col-
our of bloom is important. We
don't want small things like
alyssum, portplaca, dwarf zin-,
nias and marigolds hidden by
bigger, taller plants and we
don't want all the bloom com-
ing on at one time. The seed
catalogue lists all these .points
and also tells us about the colour
and whether the varieties are
hardy or tender. With this pre-
cise knowledge 'we can plan a
pleasing and practical layout,
have our fences and walks
screened but not our windows,
and also have something in.
bloom from early spring until
late in 'the fall. We will also
know what we can safely plant
outdoors even while there is
some risk of frost and what we
cannot plant safely until all
danger of cold weather is over.
In these catalogues, too, are
listed flowers for special places,
slopes, dark shaded, corners, and
things that even prefer poor soil
or rocky footholds or wet feet.
No matter how ,unfavourable we
may think the Iodation, there is
something listed in the cata-
logue that will grow.
They Are Friends
Most birds and Certainly all
song birds are good friends of
the gardener. They will help
keep down bugs and eat weed
seeds, and they are beautiful
::•and interesting to have around.

When It Was Really Cold In. Britain
Moustaches froze stiff, "three-
inch icicles hung from horses'
noses, trees were split by the
frost . .. Those were the sort"of
things that happened during a
typical cold spell in bygone cen-
turies.
In December, 1813, the Thames
began to freeze so solidly that
a fair was held on' it with all
sorts of amusement booths, skit-
tle alleys, music, dancing, eat-
ing, drinking, roystering, even
a sheep or ox roasted whole on
the ice and sold at 'a bob a slice.
But when a 'sudden thaw ,set
in everyone had .to scamper off
the icy mush; some traders got
. off with their goods, others, bar-
ely got off with' their lives.
Tents, booths, toundabouti went
.
slithering downstream, to pile
up on ice-floes at' the -bridge
piers.
One. temporary pub that had,
been let up slid away with nine
men inside yelling their heads
Joff when it caught fire. As it
crashed into Blackfriars Bridge
they managed to scramble out
over the polar hummocks, but
think 'of all that good, 'strong
beer going to a watery grave.
That wasn't the only frost fair
on the Thames, by any means.
John Evelyn, the seventeenth
century diarist, e actually saw
bull baiting, puppet shows, horse
and 'coach races on the ice, and
coaches plying on it between
Westminster and the Temple.
Furthermore, the intense cold
brought down a dense fog
which, choked everyone, froze
the water supply, put the brew-
ers and other tradesmen out of
work, and caused many acci-
dents.
The, countryside was blasted
by the frozen. fog. Men, cattle,
deer, poultry, wild birds and
even fish perished.
Trees split and crashed, as if
from lightning. The coasts were
so arctic that ships couldn't
move in or out of harbour and
supplies were paralysed. Fuel
was at famine prices. Funds had
to be Started for the poor to keep
body, and soul together.
Another chronicler records. a
most unedifying spectacle one
winter when football was play-
ed on the Thames and courtiers
came out to shoot at targets set
up on the ice. All the spivs,
loafers and unemployables set
out to cash in on a charity rac-
ket.
Donning aprons, clutching old
spades, hoisting a turnip on top
of a pole or rake as distress sig-
nal, they, paraded the streets
shouting mournfully, "All frozen
out! We be frozen-out garden-
ers! We've got no work to do!"
In this way they often made
double a skilled workman's
wage. It was a sad day for, them
when the sun shone again and
the ice began to melt!
Invariably the sudden thaws
caused floods and havoc, sweep-
ing away hoines and bridges,
and drowning people.
coach bowling over the
sno b . looks romantic on an old-
time Christmas card, but it must
have been an ordeal, when win • -
ter travel had to be done over
roads like quagmires, and pas-
sengers had to muffle themselves
in heavy great-coats, shawls and
comforters against bitter cold
and blinding blizzards.
On the jaunt from. London to
Dingley Dell, Dickens tells us
the travellers had to fortify
themselves with hefty draughts
of ale and brandy to defy the
frost, and at one stop Mr. Pick-
wick's fingers were so numb that
it took, him five minutes to find
the sixpence to pay for the li-
quor.
Until the 1830s there were no
buses for winter shopping and
visiting within. the city, and
when they did arrive they were
crude, unbomfortable vehicles
with conductors noted for their
insolent behaviour, Not until
1863 was Londen's first under-

It is curious to reflect that the

from the Bithynian Olympus

days to accomplish its journey.
