Lacy Crochet Cape How's That Again? When the Subliminal Projec- tion Co.; Inc, announced last fall' that it had perfected a de- vice for inserting unnoticeable 1/3,000-of-a-second, commercials 'in movies and TV shows, reac- tions ranged from cries of "foul and unfair" to chortles of, glee from parties who saw the end of intrusive TV commercials. The major U.S. TV networks piously declared they had no intention of using the devilish new inven- tion. Last month, the first public test of subliminal communication was broadcast by the staid Cane- d i an Broadcasting Co.'s essay- interview TV show''Close-Up." Viewers from coast to' coast were told that a secret subliminal mes- sage would be flashed on the screen'240 times in half an hour. They were asked to report their impressions. , This week, CBC,revealed that the message had been: "Tele- phone now.". They reported that a large number of people had telephoned in, but most of the callers just wanted to know what the message was. Most. of • the -callers thought the message had to •do with thirst. One man said he got the :message: "Change channels." James Vicary, inventor' and president of Subliminal Projec- tion Co., Inc., professed to', be encouraged by the equivocal re .results.

VW a century POW': American, English, French, and German Scholars helve: been digging in the , Middle: East •• in MesePP- ?lainiii,"Piilestinetindl Egypt.. In Palestine, Places and towns that are frequently mentioned in the ' Bible are being brought back once more into the light of day. They look exactly es the Bible describes them and lie exactly where the Bible locates them. On ancient inscriptions and monuments scholars en-. counter more and more charac- ters from. Old and New Testa- ments. Contemporary reliefs de- pict people whom we have hith- erto known only by name. Their features, their clothes, their ar- mor take shape before our eyes, As they have done to Nineveh and Nimrod—old-time Calah— or to Ashur and Thebes, which the prophets called No-Amon, the scholars have also awakened from its ancient slumber the notorious Babel of Biblical story with its legendary tower. In the Nile Delta archaeologists have found the cities of Pithom and Raamses, where the resentful Hebrews toiled as slaves. They have laid bare strata that tell of the flames and destruction 'that accompanied the children of Israel on their conquering march into Canaan. In Gibeah they found Saul's mountain strong- hold, the walls of which once echoed to the strains of David's harp. At Megiddo they came upon the vast stables of King Solomon, who had "12,000 horse- men." From the world of the New Testament reappeared the pala- tial edifices of King Herod. In the heart of Old Jerusalem the Pavement was discovered where Jesus stood before Pilate, as is mentioned in Ste John's gospel. Assyriologists deciphered on, the astronomical tables of the Bab- ylonians the exact dates on which the Star 'of Bethlehem was observed. These breathtaking discover- ies, whose significance im- possible to grasp all• at once, make it necessary for us to re- vise our 'views about the Bible. Many events that previously. 'passed for pious tales must now be. judged to be historical. Often results of „investigation corre- spond' in -detail with the' Bibli- cal ' narratives. They not only confirm but also ;,illumine the historical situations.,:ont of which the Old TestamenV•and the gos- pels grew.

"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 15, a n d m y problem ' is shyness. ()these girls my age (particularly my best friend) are going out on dates and having good times. I am okay when I'm with a lot of kids, but just the idea. of a single date (or even a double) scares me to death.

A It came 'Came at last . . . our share of snow and winter storms. And it was our first experience of what sinew can do to a residential district. And, it was plenty. It was a' Saturday arid apparently the week-end shopping still had to be done. One by one cars backed out of driveways on to the road, and in most cases that's where the fun began. Cars, sleW-, ed across the road blocking through traffic. Our next-door neighbour was among them. It took him about forty minutes to dig' himself out — and then he drove the car back into the garage and :left it" there: The doctor was the first to work on his' driveway — naturally he ,had to make sure, of getting out. - After he got through` two neigh- bour 'Ears 'got stuck and he was out helping• to dig tharesouteAnsl what did we do?.

An hour earlier he would have been offered the business end of a shovel. Of course all I knew abOut the storm was what I could see from the windows. One thing I noticed — yOu could almost 'tell who was 'friendly with whom along the road! For instance when A's car got stuck B. went to his assistance but when C. was in a similar predicament he was left to dig himself out! D. managed to get out without too much trouble but as soon as he was gone Mrs. D. was out shov- elling the driveway for his re- , turn. The snowplough came through' about nine o'clock so by Sunday morning there was h good snow-cleared road, shov- elled driveways and., I don't doubt, a tot of aching muscles. I didn't notice many people people turning • out to church Sunday morning. ss I was very glad to be home before the storm, came — and I Could quite easily not have been.
