ISSUE 11 - 1958
Thanks to the plant breeders
it is HOW possible to get a much
lOnger supply of tender vege-
tables just at their best. Corn
is a notable example. Not so
long ago there was very little
choice, mostly just one Golden
Bantam and one or two whites
like the old Country Gentlemen
or Stowell's lilvergreen. More-
over in a great many places we
couldn't get a variety hardy and
quick enough to be sure of a
crop. It is very different now
With the new hybrids we can
sow an early, medium and late
and have a continuous feast
from 65 clays or even less on-
ward. And there has been a lot
of similar improvement in other
vegetables too, They grow fast-
er, are more tender, yield big-
ger crops and are more resistant
to disease and bugs,
Like women's styles, flowers
and vegetables are constantly
changing but for the latter at
least those changes are an im -
provement.
LABOUR SAVERS
There are all sorts of new
things in the seed stores now
that will help make gardening
easier and more interesting,
short cuts, back savers, new
weed and pest controls.
For instance there are metal
and other strips on the market
that are used to keep grass out
of flower beds and flowers out
of grass, Sunk flush with the
ground they are invisible and
one can run the lawnmower or
edging tool right over them.
There are new chemicals
which will kill twich grass and
all sorts of other weeds. Some
are dug in, some are sprayed
on. They will save a lot of hard
work. There are soil condition-
ers and chemicals to turn refuse
into valuable humus.
There are our old friends the
little waxed paper tents, that
look like straw hats. These are
really minature greenhouses
only they require much less at-
tention. They are used for plac-
ing over tender plants like
tomatoes, petunias and such
things which we can set out
two or three Weeks earlier if
we keep them covered with
these Sirfessis ensiv e caps until
weathar sis safe and warm. We
can also use over tiny beds
where we have t, sown extra
flowers or melons 'or cucumbers
and thus lengthen the season by
nearly a month,
In the new tools, hand and
power, there are a great many
useful labour savers. There are
sweepers that keep lawns look-
ing like fine broadloom, special
edging tools that eliminate
stooping, automatic watering
'hoses and sprinklers, long han-
dled hoes, rakes and cultivators
to save backs, dusters, sprayers,
both hand and power operated.
There are flowers, feeds,
shrubs and other things that are
used to attract the ,birds and
there are whirling devices and
noises makers to do the very
opposite.
STRAIGHT ROWS HELP
Using a string to keep vege-
table rows straight and regular
spacing within the rows is not
just an indication of neatness or
fussiness. The wise gardener
does this so that he will know
where to expect the things he
has planted and thus can safely
cultivate even before they' come
up.
Corn and potatoes and many
other things, and especially the
first sowings, may take a week
or more to show up. If we wait
until they are plainly seen we
may have a weed battle on our
hands, If we mark the rows and
know that each hill within the
row is say 18 inches or two feet
apart, then we can go ahead
and cultivate right from plant-
ing time and weed killing will
be no trouble at all, As a mat-
ter of fact one is quite safe to
cultivate both corn and pota-
toeS, lightly right over rows for
the first time or two.

How Can I?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I clarify coffee?
A. Before the percolator be-
gins to boil, add the shell of an
egg and see how it clarifies the
coffee.
Q. Bow can I clean the clog- ,
ged burners of a gas stove?
A. Nothing is better for this
purpose than a pipestem clean-
er. It will remove all the dirt.
Q. How can I treat bruises
from swelling? -
A .By applying immediately a'
cloth about five folds in thick-
ness, dipped in cold water. When
the cloth becomes warm, renew
the wetting,
Q. How can I prevent mist
forming on eyeglasses when
coming from the outside air in-
to a warm room?
A. Try the following method:
Mix olein-potash soap with
about three per cent glycerin
and a small amount of oil of
turpentine, and polish the' lenses
with this solution.

building boom in Cairo is fin-
ancad by Saudi royal funds; a
big new hotel in Beirut is Saudi-
owned; all over the Middle East
Saudi money is at work.
Writes Morris: "There has
never been a ruling class of such
glittering patrimony; and if you
would see the Arab at his coars-
ened worst, observe some Saudi
princeling in his vulgar car, em-
blazoned with the crossed swords
of his blood, sweeping through
the citizenry with a sneer upon
his face and a total disregard
of the traffic rules."
Morris's travels range from the
Nile to the Caspian, taking in the
fantastic oil kingdoms with their
Anglo-U.S. rivalries. He is an
acute observer and writes bril-
liantly.
ritain Through
As Major Power?
Joseph Alsop, an astute if
seldom optimistic observer of the
world scene; has revisited Lon-
don and set in motion a debate
among British writers, publish-
ers, and politicians by concluding
that Britain is on the verge of
accepting defeat in its efforts to
remain a major world power,
The. Alsop thesis is partially
documented by such attitudes as
that of Ludovic Kennedy, nearly
succl-ssful Liberal Party candi-
date , in the recent Rochdale by-
elect -ion. Mr. Kennedy takes as
his 1 ethical premise that Britain
no longer can afford to be both
a g..rat nuclear power and also
a wCfare state, and hence had
bet'-r give up trying to be a
gre t nuclear power.
VC at might be called the
Als 1-Kennedy debate bears
he- oily on Britain's future value
to United States as an ally.
If 'Es alternative is as clear and
sin 'a as Mr. Kennedy puts it
am a choice is forced on the
Br: 'sh nation, the chances are
it ssaulds elect to subside into
berl a welfare state, at which,
the United States would
ce: to possess the invaluable.
pr.! .nerghip of a robust and
so:.' atimes independent thinking
all;- and Alsop premonitoins
of ' restern doom would appear
to :-ave further support.
i.:t what is the real proper-
tit.: of these matters?
I -yond doubt Britain; like all
Western countries, id passing
through a phase of truly agoniz-
ing reappraisal of its world role,
The road ahead is not clear or
easy, and there is a confusion
of conflicting views about how
the compass course should be
set. Problems are infinitely less
simple than in the days of World
War II, when it was just a matter
of straining to the utmost to
make headway against the pur-
poses of our enemies.
For example, does it really
make sense for Britain to` spend
a substantial proportion of its
budget on being a nuclear power
when Washington disposes of
probably , enough nuclear power
to serve the purposes of military
deterrence? Would it not make
as much or more sense for Brit-
ain- to leave the deterrent role
,to its bigger and.richer ally and
concentrate instead on comple-
menting 'United States deterrent
power with conventional weap-
ons and forces? There might be
more need for the conventional
power someday, and it is in-
creasingly in shor't supply.
These are valid questions, al-
thcsigh t'he answers are not
clear. Many London thinkers are
s seeking-...the .answers . without
claimingato, know tbem. But the
budgetary ' saving would he
smaller than Would seem rea-
sonable to expect. Only about a
111:fth of the British military
budget actually goes for nuclear
power, and some of this would
be spent on research for peace-
time purposes anyway.
Again, what is Britain's fu-
ture pattern of relations? Can
it find its destiny primarily
with the Commonwealth or with
the United States or should it
at 'long last cast in- its lot with
Western. Europe? There are
strong arguments-in favor of
each one of the three courses,
but as yet the argument is not
conclusive.
It is an interesting commentary
an the difficulty of the problem
that Harold Macmillan started
his prime ministry on a pOlicy
of *Moving toward Western Eu-
rope and found himself after his
first year closer to Washington
and much further away from
Paris and Berlin.
The idea of British participat
Lion in either a European cus-
toms union or free trade area is
apparently in abeyance. Yet, at
the very moment when the pro-
ject of economic integration with
Western Europe seems to have
been downgraded, the American
economy hesitated enough to
raise grave doubts about the
Wisdom' of tying closer ties
across the Atlantic as an al-
ternative.
For Britain the course ahead
is definitely unclear alike in
Military.; political, and economic
,affairs. It cannot abandon a
world role in any one of the
three areas. For one reason, its
welfare State is based on world
trade without which there would
be major unemployment at
home. Britain is the last-country
in the world which could afford
economic iselation. And if it
must trade, it also must preseri7e.

art alarm,
When Reza Shah, the Present
Shah of Persia's father, tried to
westernize the country, his new
laws produced a strange clash
of manners.
On a visit to a small Caspian
town, for example, he found that
the local dignitaries, arixieuS to
observe the new proprieties, had
asked the local tinsmith to make
them a few top hats to go with
their best suits, He arrived in a
hailstorm, and was greeted by
the hailstones' tinny thudding
on the reception committee's
hats, while the tinsmith's black
paint dripped heavily :ever the
brims!
When he made a ceremonial
journey down the new trans-
Iranian railroad, a preceding
locomotive was derailed and
turned on its side near the track.
Fearful that the sight would en-
rage the irascible Shah, the rail-
way workers tried desperately to
put it back, or at least stand it
upright, but failed to move it an
Inch. They thereupon hit on the
Idea of burying it in sand, and
the last shovel-load covered its
boiler just as the puffs of the
royal train appeared on the hor-
izon,
Author James Morris made
ether interesting"dicoveries on a
journey through the Near and
Middle East recorded vividly in
"The Market of Seleukia'!. At
Mukalla, in the East Aden Pro-
tectorate, .Morris visited a re-
markable Englishman - Colonel
Bousted, the Sultan's resident ad-
viser.
As a midshipman in the cruiser
Hyacinth in the 1914 war, he
says Boustead deserted ship in S.
Africa and Joined the South Af-
rican Horse in the hope of seeing
more action. After brilliant ser-
vice on the western front he was
officially pardoned - the only
deserter, Morris believes, to be
officially pardoned in the Navy's
history.
In Aden ,Morris met an Arab
who told him that his, brother
had an English wife whom he'd
met while being trained at a Mid-
lands factory. She was now a
Muslim in purdah, never left the
house without a heavy veil, met
no men except her husband and
his close relatives, and was learn-
ing Arabic. A strange life for a
Midlands girl, but she was hap-
py.
Morris's first acquaintance
with Saudi Arabia was when we
still had a Guards battalion at
Aquaba and its officers used to
go swimming or fishing a little
way down the eastern shore of
the Gulf.
• Somewhere there was: the
Saudi frontier, but it had never
been demarcated, and the sol-
diers were often interrupted by
the arrival of a few armed Sau-
di policemen who insisted that
this was an international out-
rage and took down everyone's
name in laborious script on grub-
by bits of paper, then reported
to their superiors that Lord Nel-
son, Agamemnon, Helen of Troy
or Tennyson had infiltrated the
kingdom! Eventually the bathing
expeditions were officially ban-
ned.
The financial scandals of Saudi
Arabia, Morris says, are a stock
joke througAout the Middle East.
Its oil "royalties are about $300,-
000,000 a year, and the speeding
of state funds is wholly in the
royal family's hands. King Saud
now has twenty-four palaces; he
is pulling down the old one at
Riyadh, and the new one, nearly
a square mile in area will cost
about -$48,000,000 and include
schools for his many sons, a zoo,
private mosque, hospital. and
quarters for his wives - any-
thing up to 100.
He is said to have about tviren-
ty-five sons; each, on reaching
the age of twelve, is given a
personal Cadillac and driver.
