That long-sought-after used
car "owned by two nice old lad-.
ies who only drove it round the
neighborhood" has become a
legend and the car-lot dealer's
chant a joke. But now and then
the legend does come to life, so
to speak, and occasionally even
improves on the fairy tale.
Back in 1921 Ben Koester of
Jefferson City, Missouri, bought
a new Model T Ford touring car.
For -some reason he forswore
driving five years later, and for
the last 31 years the car has re-
posed in his basement garage.
.A few days ago an old-car fan-
cier heard about this relic and
bought it. All he had to do was
fill the gas tank, change the Oil,
put in a new battery, and pump
up a tire before he merrily drove
it away.
We're glad to be told it was an
old-car fancier. For tender as
our memories may be of the dur-
able Model T, which did fulfill
the maker's claim, "Takes you
there, gets you back," the getting
there and the coming back were
pretty rigorous processes, judged
by today's standards. And the
owner of even a new Model T
could hardly' expect to travel
over 100 miles on a quart of oil
or much farther on a gallon of
gasoline than. many a modern
superpowered giant, or more
than.10,000 miles on hie tires.
Incidentally, however, the
price Mr. Koester paid in 1921
seems even more legendary than
the car: on. - The Christian
Science Monitor.
Skiing and golfing are year-
round sports in British Columbia
in its equable climate, and moose
and mountain goats, salmon and
speckled trout make it a sports-
man's paradise.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Anyone who has a tendency
to high blood pressure would be
well advised to try to keep his
general living routine in lower
gear, especially after middle
age, Emotional upsets, and over-
doing activities will contribute
to this condition. Overeating is
another "don't" since it often
causes overweight, which adds
to the strain on the heart. If
signs of, high blood pressure are
noticed, it is wise to consult the
doctor, who will prese'ribe suit-
able diet, exercise and avoidance
of fatigue.

Farmers Retire
In The States
The S0411 .Security Adinirtise
treater), reports itself deluged
With Self-employed farmers who
seek to "retire" On eeeerity bone-
as,
The rate of retirelnent is a
whopping four-times the esti-
mede in 1954 when the law Was
broadened te include farmers,
The first claims could not be
Made until, 1050, inee farmers
had to show net earnings of at
least $400 in 1956,
This year 400,000 claims have
been filed by farmers ready to
retire or widows who recently
qualified, asking survivors' bene-
fits for themselves and ebildren
under le years of age.
In 1954 there were 706,000
farmers, 65 or older, with others
corning into the 65-age group at
the rate of about 100,000 per
year.
One of the more practical rea-
sons for the boom in retirement
claims is the figures showing
that for many farmers today
their occupation is a starvation
one. Twenty-six per cent of the
farmers making less than $1,000
per year were in the 65-age
group. Only 11 per cent of those
making $3,000 or more had.
reached 65.
Then, too, the act covers the
"city farmers," a phrase which
describes those who own farms
and operate them with tenants
or hired help to whom they give
supervision. Many of these had
employment benefits piled up
and could retire, turning over
their farms to their children or
selling them, This policy—turn-
ing the land over to sons or put-
ting them on the market — is
a common one, But, of course,
not too many sons are interested
In a farm.
The truth is the small farm
with its mule and hand labor is
too small to make mechanization
profitable. There are an esti-
mated one million too many
farms in the nation. Of these
about two-thirds are in the
Southeast. This region has al-
ways had most, of the farms, be-
cause they had more small units.
Children on such farms want to
leave them for good and valid
reasons.
The soil bank already is de-
It is probable that Mark Twain
came cif-zest to the truth about
Australia wiwn he described it as
'a Pine of most beautiful lies • -
most of which are true.'
It is almost unbelievable—Sod
rather upsetting to find, on
returning to England after
ing in Australia for only a matter
of 'a year, that one is genuinely
homesick for the Gums, the
Beaches, the brilliant light, the
spaciousness, and the almost
overpowering kindness of the
Austrfalians, writes Alan 5,
Nearly all the indigenous trees
in Australia aW Varieties of the
Gum. The dull olive green of
their foliage makes the colouring
of the landscape sombre, and, it
is only when you get close to
them you appreciate that their
beauty lies rather in their stems
than in their leaves. The Aus-
tralian Gums shed their bark,
and the woods of their limbs--
white, blue, red or velvety black
— have a wonderful quality of
absorbing the strong sunlight
and giving it out again so that
they seem to glow with some
Internal fire — like old Bath
Stone Buildings, and healthy
babies.
Two of the most terrible things
1 saw in Australia were to do
with Gum Trees.
The first was a Bush Fire:
great clouds of grey and black
smoke billowing high into the
sky, tinged with scarlet from the
flames which leapt from tree to
tree incredibly swiftly as the
distilled oils became ignited.
The second was the vast areas
where the trees had been 'ring
barked' for ground clearance.
The dead forests, stripped of
their foliage and bark and
bleached by the sun, stand white
and naked like armies of ghosts
in silent reproach of the ruth-
less advance of man.
On our trip out and just be-
fore arriving at Fremantle —
our first contact with the Aus-
tralian Continent — one of the
'wild Colonial Boys,' returning
from a three months' spree in
Europe, went to the Ship's Shop
early in the morning and bought
a bottle of Essence of Eucalyp-
tus, with which he proceeded to
anoint the port-side handrail on
'A' Deck,
Walking into the lounge—
'Boys,' he said, come and smell
the Gums!'
For the rest of the morning
there was a silent crowd all
along the rails, their noses dilat-
ing to the aromatic ',essence and
their eyes watering with their
efforts to see once more their
beloved Gums. At least, that is
what they said.
Now that I have been there
and come away, I wonder.
Geologically, much of. Australia
can claim to be the oldest un-
altered Land Mass in the world;
it was millions of years old when
the whole of England was under
the sea, and the White Cliffs of
Dover were in course of produc-
tion by miscroscopic radiolites,
Yet White people have lived
there only for three generations
— indeed, the first settlers were
ring barking the Gum trees in
the bush, which is now George
Street, Sydney, less than two
hundred years ago.
Australia is the largest island
in the world — you could com-
fortably put the whole of Europe
in it and still have enough land
left to house all the present in-
habitants. Sydney ranks as the
second largest city in the Com-
monwealth and yet the total
population of the whole con-
tinent is only just about the
same as Greater London!
It seems fantastic that this
huge Continent lying only a short
way from 'the Spice Islands' of
Indonesia and Borneo — which
had a regular trade for centuries
with, Asia and Europe and in-
deed, even in Phoenician Times
were the meeting place of East
and West — was virtually un-
known before the days of Cap-
tin Cook and Lieutenant Flin-
ders.
The only known evidence of
any outside human contact with
Australia before then is an up-
turned Chinese Idol of great age
lying en its side, south of Dar-
win in the Northern Territories.
No one knows how it got there,
who brought it or how old it is,
Before the first landings of the
White settlers Australia had,
however, a small population of
about 300,000 Aboriginees. For
thousands of years they had
existed on their own without any
contact, as far AS is known, with
any other human beings.
In many ways they are teas
developed than the Stone-Age
Man for they neither cultivate
the ground nor use any tools
other than for hunting, They
literally lived like ahimals on
the land,
Alas! Their numbers are now
reduced to under 8000 as they
are so completely unsuited to
Modern conditions land It seems
likely that Within a very few
years, all that spill be left of
this ancient race will be a Ow

pleting populations in the gore-
ly row-crop regions. Farmers are
putting their worst land in "the
bank," tenants, who never lived
,too well anyhow, are of necessity
moving off to the nearest job
opportunities.
Change goes on. And nowhere
does it move with greater speed
than in agriculture, With 400,
000 farmers applying for retire-
ment this year, which is not yet
half gone, it would appear the
number of farms soon will be
sharply reduced. —Atlanta Con-
stitution.
