ALL-ALUMINUM AUTOS FOR 1960?
Sleek new design for an all-aluminum car of say, 1960, is
embodied in the Pele (Pay-Lay), named for the goddess of
volcanoes. Body panels are of stamped aluminum sheet with
enameled finish. Side trim is brushed and gold-color anodized
aluminum while the bumpers, roof rails and roof are made of
the same metal, utilized for lightness and Strength. Shown
A Heavy Case
Of Robbery
Tbe scruffy, shifty - looking
man, hurried, to the news-stand
and asked .for a paper., The
news-vendor 'handed him one,
took the half-crown the man
gave him, and reached 'for some
change. He turned with the
money in his hand to, find his,
customer had gorie.
The man was leaning, against
the wall about,' ten ,yards away
from the stall. His paper-was
unfolded in -front of him, `com-
pletely hiding '• his .face. For a
moment the' news-vendor :was
baffled. Not many of his cus:
'tomers left him with over two
shillings, change in his hand.
Acting on a. hunch, he told a
policeman who was passing.
The policeman approached the
'man and spoke to him. There
was a scuffle, then the man was
hustled away , by the officer.
Later,' the newsvendor, sixty-
year-old Dick, learned that his
unusual customer had escaped
from a mental hospital. He had
seen the policeman and had at-
tempted to hide behind the
newspaper.
That was just one of the many
unustal incidents that have in-
volved grey-haired, yet still
sprightly looking, Dick, who is
soon retiring after selling papers
for more than twenty years
from his pitch outside a North-
West London station.
On one occasion he was about
to close up for the night when
a luxurious car drew up. A
well-dressed man got out and
asked Dick if he would give him
a hand in lifting his case from
the trunk of the car into the
station.
As they struggled to get the
heavy case out, Dick's suspi-
cions were aroused by the sight
-of a jimmy lying on the back
seat. So he made a note of the
man's appearance, the number,
make and so on of the car,
and later gave these particulars
to the' police. Not long after-
wards the man was arrested; he
had robbed a cinema of its tak-
ings and had pulled off a suc-
cession of similar robberies in
the district. The heavy case had
been loaded with his safe-break-
ing equipment.
Supplying the public with
newspapers is just part of Dick's
working day—he is also regard-
ed as a walking information of-
ficer and postman. One woman
regularly leaves him all her let-
ters to post. She, settles up the
stamp and paper bill at the end
,of the week.
"I don't mind" says Dick. "I

to go. He relates the dramatic
sequel in a vivid account of his,
life there, "Zoo Setteeli Cey-
Ion", Silva got drunk, and in
the crowed square by the Galle
Face hotel, picked a quarrel
with some Tamil youths who
were watching the procession.
Instantlypandemonium broke
loo: c, everyone around began
shrieking. A woman, piercing
his disguise, pointed at Randow
and screamed; "A I tiropean!"
She tried to dig her mils into
his face, Flailing his, arms like
a windmill, he fought his way
through the infuriated mob, rap
down a road embankment into
tangled undergrowth, and man-
aged to get away, with his
clothes torn to ribbons, blood
streaming down his face,
But he'd seen the fabulous
procession, the jewelled, ilium',
nated coaeh, with two caparison-
ed white steeds mounted,• on a
huge low-slUng wagon drawn by
elephants',,,
A born adventurer, he con-
stantly courted danger: Penetrat-'
ing into the wild animal reserve
beyond Kandy, he meant to get
a look at the Veddas, a jungle
tribe who carry bows and ar.e
rows and poison-barbed blow-
pipes, have no contact with the
outside world, and will barter
goods only if you, place yours
under a tree on a river bank •
bordering their territory, camp,
some distance off, and collect
'in • the morning those they've
left in exchange "during the
night.
He had some exciting experi-
ences.• at his collecting station
and zoo in a village up-country
beyond WellaWatte. A 25-foot
python had to be de-crated with
the help of twenty coolies, who
stood by, ready to seize its body
as soon as he had secured its
great head by flinging a sack
over it at lightning speed. As
he drew back the wire mesh
covering the top, the head shot
,,out, alp-met-grazing his face with
its gaping jaws; while its body
half uncoiled.
_After a fierce struggle, he
managed 'to pin it down behind
the head with a cleft stick, He
theneheld its head just behind
the jawbone "with both hands, to
compress the windpipe, while
the coolies fought the monster.
It writhed so furiously that
it knocked three off •their feet;
others had to let go, and with
two coils round his body, Ran-
dow, too; fell to the ground.
Desperately he still clung to the
head, and narrowly escaped be-
ing crushed to death—with great
bloodstained bruises on his ribs.
'He had another. ea.% TVA %Pt
six-foot cobra, tackling it with
.snake-pole and noose, seizing it
firmly behind the jawbone to
prevent its fangs biting his,.
hand, then heaving it into sack
and box.
Returning from Colombo one
night with his ox-carts; Randow
shone his torch into tangled
foliage to see what had made
the oxen stop dead and refuse
to go on.
About thirty, feet above the
ground he saw the greenish-red
eyes of a large leopaed, and at
once switched off. Against the
moon-light a dark form hurtled
towards him He sprang to one
side, raised his rifle. Luckily,
the beast landed ." five yards
, short of him. It grouched,
snarled viciously, ready to•
spring again. But in that brief .
moment he fired. It jumped
only a yard, then fell in a heap, •
'dead.
Randow relates these and
other adventures against a back-
ground of native life and scenic
beauty that sometimes made
him feel he was in the Garden
of Eden—except for the venom-,
ous cobras.
"My husband is certainly easy
on his clothes," said Mrs. McVie
"He bought a bowler hat twenty
years ago, had it cleaned twice
and changed it seven times in
restaurants, and it still looks as,
good as new."
Cull potatoes can be fed to
dairy cattle as:a substitute, for
turnips, :Canada' DepartMeni of
Agriculture' tests, have, proved.

Prince Edward Islanders often
dispose of cull potatoes by dump-
ing them in the woods or on,
-manure piles. At the same time,
many farmers reduced :turnip'
acreage 'and, when markets were'
good, sold most of them for table
use.
A three-year program at the
Charlottetown Experi mental
Farm' established the important
role that could be played by
cull potatoes.

- All cows on the experiment
were fed good quality hay at
a' rate of one and a half pounds
per 100 pounds live weight, and
a meal mixture at the rate of

Potatoes were fed at the rate
of one and three-quarter pounds
per 100 pounds body weight and
were compared with .turnips fed
at the rate of four pounds per
100 pounds body weight. Both

This would mean a daily ration
of about 20 pounds of potatoes
for the average Ayrshire cow.

Many fruit growers buy spray
chemicals in small packages de-
spite 'the fact that the smaller
the package the higher the cost
per unit of weight, says Ento-
mologist Dr. James Marshall ,of
the Summerland, BC., Experie

DDT, one of the less expen-
sive chemicals, costs about $2
less when bought in' 50-pound
bags than when purchased in
cartons containing 12 four-pound
bags, he points out, And the sav-
ing on malathione a more expen-
sive chemical, is about six per
cent.

An example—using a mixture
of DDT; rnalathion and sulphur:
With a machirie that sprays
three acres to a filling,, nine bags
of DDT, nine bags of malathion
and, seven and a half bags of sul

ally opened and shaken into the
spray tank—an operation'that
takes time, leaves 25 empty bags
and two 'empty cartons to dispose
of and; in generale is a nuisance.

--Vegetable storage problems can
usually be traced to two things
—improper 'harvesting and poor
facilities, according to R. H. An-
derson of the Melfort, Sask e
Experimental Farm.
Vegetables must be mature,
sound and free from mechani-
cal injury, he warns, and this
requires care in harvesting and
handling. Required also are ade-
quate ventilation, proper temper-
ature control and absence of
sunlight. *
Along this seine line, electric
lights should be used as little as
possible since the "artificial light
causes greening on potetoes,
POtatOes should be stored dry
in slatted bins that allow circe-
letion of air, Teitiperettife should

Then there's the customer who
drives three miles from his
home to the station by ear, lie
doesn't like to leave the car in

comes home by a different
route. So each day he leaves
the car keys 'with Dick and pays

The Day The Soap.
Didn't Float
Into this warm world of con-
fidence (proctor & Gamble's in
1944) came rude news one day—
with evidence. A woman in
Springfield, Massachusetts, sent
in a cake of Ivory Soap that
sank . ,
It was, an artist's whimsical
prophecy materialized, For a
cartoon series in. The New York-
er, called "Industrial Crises",
Gluyas Williams in 1928 ,had
drawn a scene depicting "The
day a cake of soap sank at Proc-
ter & Gamble's". A high-ceiling-
ed natatorium ;• workmen in
,dveralls crowded in the doorway,
looking aghast at tell-tale ripples
in the middle of the •pool; portly,
frock4coated directors, one pac-•
ing, the tiled floor 'and wringing
his hands, one 'contemplating a
life belt to retrieve the sullen
cake,. still another bravely strip-
ping for the plunge, while• two
more bade godspeed to a helmet-
ed diver. Others stood in a
'huddle of embarras`sment.
A • Cincinnatti newspaperman
'got wind of the 1944 story, and
it became a national event.
Papers from coast to coast pick-
ed it up, feature writers got a
lift to their imagination, editorial
writers gave it thought. Said
one account:
Can you imagine the scene out
there where they make Ivory?
Tradition has it that once before
in 60 years of making unsinkable
Ivory by the multi-million bars,
one' cake did sink . . Veteran
roapmakers turned their faces
to the walls. Young girl clerks
stabbed at their eyes. Executives
paced their offices, wan and
hollow-eyed. They tried out the
protested cake. They placed it in
this pan of water, then that pdn.
The cake paid "Ulp", and went to
the bottom and stayed at the
bottom. Men bent over the pan
and stared at the renegade. They
reached down and tickled it. It
lay slippery and dormant.
A columnist in Atlanta wrote:
"Not unsinkable? Unthinkablell"
.A.noth:er editorial tossed flip-
pancy aside: "Candor must be
the policy of a wise corporation
in a crisis of this nature."
A plausible explanation of the
misbehaviour of the cake that
landed in Springfield and con-
tradicted P & G's famous slogan
was that in storage this one
might have been compressed and
its tiny air pockets crushed.
Company researchers had to see
for themselves. They dropped
the cake in water. It sank. They
inspected t h e manufacturing
procees step by step and came
to a point in the freezer where
the freakish error could have
occurred. An adjustment was
made. Young girl clerks dried
their tears, executives' eyes were
no longer hollow, the -industrial
crisis was over.

of Procter & Gamble," by Alfred
Lief.
Memory $election; Jesus, when
he came out, saw much people,
and was, moved with compassion
toward them, because they were
as sheep not having a shepherd.
Mark 6: 34,
Jesus called twelve disciples
to be with him during his min-.
istry which lasted about three
and a half years. This was the
greatest training that any min-
ister could possibly have. When
Jesus ascended into, heaven,
eleven of these disciples became
leaders in the church.
The training was not only in
hearing Him who spake as never
man spake and observing His
wonderful works. They were
sent on some practical work
on their own. They went two
by 'two, preaching repentance,
casting out devils and anointing
the sick with oil and healing
them. Thus Jesus shared His
ministry: • When confronted with
a hungry multitude He said,
"Give ye them to eat," While He
Performed the miracle they dis-
tributed the food. They had an
, important part,
Jesus still shares His ministry
with His followers. Someone has
said, "Jesus has no hands but
our hands, no feet but our feet,
no tongue but our tongue.." We
are His .witneeee,5.4)M,, before
we can effectively witness, we
must know Jesus Christ our-
selves in a very.7-crersona.-..way.
If we have not repented and be-
lieved on Him gild been saved
we cannot teach others the way.
If we are still plagued Yeith an
unclean heart we cannot explain
to others howe God can give the
Holy Spirit purifying our hearts
by faith. Acts 15: 8, 9. ''We must
know from personal experience
Whereof we speak. P
Itis a great privilege to share
in the "miraitry ofr-Tesua Christ
There are times of testing to be
sure.. But "They that sow in
tears shall reap in joy. He that
goeth forth and weepeth, bearing
precious seed, shall doubtless
come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him."
Psalm 126: 5, 6..
Bargain Rates.
For Murders.
In Ceylon, the natives never
take grievances to court but to
a bandit tribe who offer to get
them settled for an agreed fee,
even if it means robbing, beet.
ing-up, or murdering people to
order.
Heinz liaedow, an animal col-
lector for ewe, lent a Sinhalese
friend, "Mr Silva," a valuable
fishing-net which he repeatedly
failed to return. Knowing it
would be useless to go to law,
'he got an introduction' to the
bandit chief, who explained that
getting the net back might in-
volve beating-up Mr. Silva and
leaving him half dead as a
warning for the future.
This would cost ten rupees; a
mild beating-up, eight, if Mr.
:Randow thought that sufficient.
Curious, Randow asked how
:much it would cost to have him
beaten to death. The bandit be
flame thoughtful, then said:
twenty-five rupees—about six
dollars. Randow settled for a
'mild one at eight, paying two
in advance.
Three days later four of the
bandits' men turned up—two
'with long scratches on their
faces—and handed him the net.
'There were, three large tears in
it, made during the struggle,
but these were duly repaired,
and the balance of six rupees
paid,
Later /Mr. Silva himself turn-
ed up, swathed in bandages and
with two black eyes. He bore
no malice for the lesson he had
been taught and invited Ran-
dow to go with him to the
• Wesak Festival of the May Full
Moon in Colombo. He would
have to dress as a native, be-
cause the festival always stir-
red 'up bad feeling against for-
eigners, and Europeans who
valued their lives kept out of
the way.
European friends warned
dow that it would be madness
to go anywhere near the sacred
processional coach with its Carv-
ed deities, which was drawn
through the streets by richly
draped temple elephants, escort-
ed by throngs of fanatics in-
censed by three day8 of mount-,
ing religious fervourT.'
