Bad Drivers "A man drives as be lives," has become a cliche among the an- alyses of automobile accidents, In other words„ the greatest sin- gle cause of highway mishaps is the personal equation, rather than the condition of the car, or the character of the road, or legal regulations, So the driver most to be fear- ed is the one who resents all con- trols in his life, or take a chance in everything, or gives full rein to a sense of power whenever he feels it, or habitually loses his head even under slight strain, Yet it has been proved also that many serious auto accidents are caused by drivers who only occasionally throw off restraints, or fall under the influence of al- cohol, or nod at the wheel, or , take chances. Early in the 1958 session of Congress, Oklahoma's Senator Mike Monroney says he will in- troduce a bill for a federal com- mission to collect and analyze adequately all possible data on highway accidents. If the analy- sis warranted, federal drivers' licenses issued only after real tests and suspended or revoked for frequent bad driving could be required of a 1.1 interstate drivers. Out of this welter of ideas congressional leaders interested in highway safety hope to come up with some new and effective legislation. No matter what shape the new laws take, Congress can't, miss if it increases the severity of punishment of reckless driv- ers. — Portland (Maine) Press Herald.

Watch out for a bottle bobbing on the waves this Spring. There's a chance it could bring you $5,000 a month for life plus a useful slice of a $0,000,000 fore tune! An out-of-work man has al- ready found such a bottle and legal expeets believe there may be another get-rich-quick bottle floating around. This amazing prospect hinges on the "lost will" of Mrs. Daisy Alexander, the Singer sewing machine heiress. When she died in 1939, expectant beneficiaries searched the gaunt, empty man- sion in Grosvenor Square where she had lived alone. An ex-army sergeant-major went over every inch of the house with a mine-detector, probing for a safe or some other secret receptacle beneath the plaster or floorboards, The only known will was one Mrs. Alexander had signed thirty years earlier. Yet she was al- ways talking of making wills, leaving her affairs in perfect order — and servants testified that on two occasions they had been asked to witness wills. Then a young clairvoyant searched the house, running his hands over the walls to elicit what he called "sympathetic vi- brations." Though he did not find the will, he scored some palpable hits. He had never met Daisy Alexander before her death, but was able to describe the way she used to stand beside the fireplace. The lost will, he de- clared,, was concealed in a black vase or a settee of yellow' silk. What is this mind picture — if not of a black bottle on a yellow beach? In 1949 an unemployed restau- rant worker named Jack Wurm was killing time on a San Fran- cisco beach when he idly kicked at a bottle and noticed something tucked inside. It proved to be a piece of paper with the words, "I leave my entire estate to the lucky person who finds this bot- tle, and to my attorney share and share alike. Daisy Alexan- der, June 20, 1937." ' Wurm thought the document just a joke. It was three months before he heard of the London will hunt and filed •his claim. Then friends remembered Mrs. Alexander's habit of throwing bottles into the sea, wondering where they would go. Experts on ocean currents testified that a bottle dropped into' the Thames could wash to the English chan- nel, on to the North Sea, through the Bering Strait' into the Pacific and southward in twelve years. Jack Wurm faced seven years of legal wrangling before the will was upheld. Now, besides his share in the main fortune, his dividend from sewing ma- chnie stock will mean $75,000 a year. There's still just a sporting chance that Mrs. Alexander signed a later will and filing that in turn into the ocean. It may have drifted thousands of miles. Or it may have remained tangled in weeds near home. You could find it at your feet at any time! TWO.

ISSUE 14 — 1958 Rescuers who dragged Ray- mond Eralley from the stream at Charmes, France, into which he had stumbled in the dark, called a doctor. • They saw the doctor arrive, stumble in the dark and fall into the stream. He, too, had to be hauled ashore for treat- ment, I also remember that if a new hired hand were engaged among other questions he was gener- ally asked-1. If he could milk, and 2. If he were a "wet" or "dry-hand milker." Partner nev- er allowed wet-hand milking in his stable—for which I was very thankful. The very thought of it used to make me feel sick. But yet it was quite a common practise when we first started farming. A lot of farmers claimed it was better for the cows! Apparently little thought was given to the consumers . . . and that was before the days of enforced pasteurization! In the old days people must certainly_ have developed a sort of immu- nization otherwise tuberculosis and undulant fever would have been more common than they were. Remember, too, how chil- dren used to love to be around at milking time to get a drink of warm milk straight from the cow, Ugh . . . I used to wonder how they could drink it! Yes, looking back over our thirty-six years of farming it is extraordinary to note the changes that have' taken place —and most of them a decided improvement from a sanitary point of view. But don't forget all these improvements are re- flected, and are a part, of the increase in our present day cost of living index. We pay for what we get, whether it is in the make and texture of a new dress or the improved quality of the milk we buy. The same applies to eggs. Remember when hens used to scratch for their living and the egg-yolks were dark and often smelt and tasted quite strong? The eggs we get now are light in colour, mild in flavour but the price we pay for them includes charges for shipping, candling, grading and sometimes delivering. Al] the farmer gets is the cost of pro- ducing the eggs, which includes the cost of raising the hens from chicken-hood. "A new tranquilizing therapy (to give) the businessman . . . all-day relief from anxiety and nervousness . . • for the busy housewife, to help her though a day, of aggravation . . ." ...,"A tranquilizer ... to help you feel socially adequate." "Tranquilizers for behavior Problems in children, free-float- ing anxiety, insomnia, headaches, hangovers ." For one, Democratic Congress- man John A. Lflatnik of Minne- sota was greatly "disturbed" by such claims, which he termed "false and misleading." So much so that Blatnik started hearings before his House subcommittee recently to dig into the propriety of the claims. As the hearings continued Dr. Ian Stevenson, chief psychiatrist at the University of. Virginia Department of Medicine, agreed with Congressman Blatnik that "a few errant drug manufac- turers" have ruthlessly pushed the sale of tranquilizers. Many of the drugs have dangerous side effects and complications (tremors, drowsiness, jaundice). "Some of the side effects," said Dr. Stevenson, "have been serious," Dr. Stevenson also pointed out that "the tranquilizing drugs are expensive. If they are adopted in illnesses for which they offer no advantages over cheaper se- dative drugs, the clinics, hos- pitals, and patients obviously have been put to . . . wasteful expense." Sharing the blame with manu- facturers, in Dr. Stevenson's view, are some doctors: "The ads . . could do no harm if they did not encounter easy ac- ceptance by both physicians and patients. Physicians would like drugs which help them do what they cannot yet do — cure all their patients. Patients even more eagerly hope for a pill that will solve their difficulties and cure their ills." And this wish, quite obviously, often stimulates sales of tran- quilizers, which now amount to $300 million yearly — and ac- count for one in every three prescriptions that doctors write. —From NEWSWEEK, GENTLEMEN ALL The Australian House of Rep- resentatives has decided to re- view its accepted code of be- haviour to' prohibit members from calling' other members such names as: assassin, cad, coldsblooded, blood-drinker, cur, miserable body-snatcher, sewer rat, gasbag, ignoramus, rat, Mendacious, political' Mongrel, lapdog or slimy repitle. Cod liver oil is one 'of the richest sources of fats,..second only to heavy cream. One who has at some time learnt to swim, or to ride a bi- cycle never quite forgets the art. He may be out of practise but he doesn't forget. And that seems to apply to farming as well. Once a farmer always a farmer even if the hands are no longer actively engaged in doing farm chores. The interest is still there. That seems to be the way with Partner anyway. Why else should he take the trouble to ride in the cab .of a milk-tank truck and find out for himself just what happens to the milk shipped in bulk to the dairies? -Just before we left the farm there was quite an agitation to induce dairy farmers to "go tank" instead of shipping milk in cans. At the time it seemed to us like a tremendous outlay for equipment, more" than a hundred-acre farmer could af- ford. But now the idea has real- ly caught on and in some dis- tricts farmers shipping to local dairies are the only ones who continue to use cans, chilled in a milk-cooler before shipping. One of our former neighbours is a milk-trucker and goes by here nearly every day so Part- ner arranged to ride with him one one of his trips. Partner al- ready knew how hulk milk was handled at the farm but had no idea what happened at the dairy. Here is his account. At the dairy where he went there was room for two tank trucks to back up into the build- ing and stop at a given spot. Here a plastic hose was con- nected to the tank nozzle. A motor was 'then started which drew the milk from the tank and forced it into a vat on scales where it was automati- cally weighed. From there the milk went into the processing plant. While Partner was there three, tanks, carrying about six tons of milk 'were emptied, washed, and out again in about thirty minutes. And in that time Partner never saw one drop of milk! As soon as a tank was empty a man dropped into it through a manhole at the top and thor- oughly washed and scrubbed, the inside Of the tank,. After he came out the tank was rinsed again. Then a sterilising come pound was forced Thin the tank and sealed. Then the trucker went to work; hosing arid wash- ing down the outside of his truck, and it was ready for the next day. vi Waiting at the loading ramp there were also quite a large number of smaller trucks ready to pick up their daily quota of stini-seat packages and bottles to be delivered to the stores. T hus the whole process is ac- ertiplished with speed and of- ficioncy and from the time the milk leaVes the cows'-udders at the various farms until it reaches your doorstep it is riot once- touched by human hands.

This most famous of sailing, clippers which brought tea from China and wool from Australia is preserved for all time in dry dock in' a •romantic setting in King William Walk near the Royal Maritime Museum and Greenwich Pier. The ship has been completely rerigged in authentic style through the record made by Henry Henderson, who sailed in her as ship's carpenter. netebook was preserved with details of her masts, spars and boats.
