In numbers involved,, it is es- timated. that the rigged TV shows represent „the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the people, not excepting Dr, Cook's claim to having discovered the North Poie, A Sailor Sees Dawn On A .Beach The first soft streaks of a lovely dawn showed the dark sails like detached wings close upon the sea, standing silently, with the vessels which bore them still hidden' from view, There were many such sails, some with the high peaks of the swift lat- een, others More rounded. At that soft hour no wind blew. The Atlantic murmured gently on the shelving beach, as if loath to waken land and people to the new day, Many people were already awake, not only in those silent, softly moving ships. The soft padding of ' a hundred barefoot fishermen and their wives pass- ed beside me in the street, as the fisherfolk headed for the beach and the day's work there. Some were leading cattle, a pair of bullocks yoked together, but with no other harness. Many men carried round fishing bas- kets, as the dorymen do in their little boats on the Banks. The women were bundled up in black against the cool of the dawning, and some of them were speak- ing in quiet voices to their men, The men, wore stocking caps, heavy shirts of bright plaids, and colorful trousers, though a few were dressed in black. The graceful sailing ferry which had brought me across the channel from near A,veiro came gently alongside the quay without a sound, and stepped very quietly ashore. Nearby were several of those lovely sail- ing boats which hail from. Ilhavo and. Gafanlia, and ply the river- fed, landlocked arms of the At- lantic there. In the soft light these boats were beautiful, with their grace of line• and decorat- ive coloring. Nothing was to be seen that did not fit in, not mar- iner nor fisherman nor boat, and the reek of diesel and of petrol was not allowed at all. I made my way behind •the fishermen 'towards the beach of Costa Nova, one of those grand and shelving beaches, wide open to the Atlantic swells, where I knew the companies of cooperative f i c h e r m„e'n still launched their great barcos do mar on such mornings as this and fished in the sea as Christ's disciples had done almost 2,000 years before. I wanted to see this fishing, and this' was a good place. - From "Give Me a Ship ' to Sail," by Alan Villiers.

How Quiz Shows Were Gimm;cked Thirty million viewers sitting on the edge of their chairs to hear the dramatic' battle of "brainpower" on A television quiz show, Spellbo un d multitudes In country hamlets and big cities watching facial contortions of perspiring contestants for huge stet-rich-quick stakes, Millions of viewers being fooled and gulled, according to testimony pouring into the House subcommittee on legis- lative oversight, by TV per- formances that were as phony as the fifth ace in a stacked pack. The day of his last appear- ance on the now-defunct quiz show "21," a witness testified, the National Broadcasting Com- pany ran spot announcements all clay excitedly demanding, "Will Herb Stempel crash the $100,000 mark?" And Herb Stempel sat at home, according to his sworn testimony before the committee, knowing that the "fix" that had permitted him to win drama- tically on previous appearances was going to demand that night that he muff an answer he knew perfectly well - the name of the motion picture "Marty" which he had seen three times Other witnesses reinforce the charges. The very facial gestures were rehearsed. The wrinkled brow, the delayed, answer, the -sus- penseful gnawing at finger nails were all phony. All this up to the climax when they gave their triumphant reply, and ,the mas- ter of ceremonies shouted ex- ultantly - "Right! - that's the answer." The story, details of which are now being unfolded in sor- did profusion in the big, rail- road-station-like caucus • room of the House of Representatives, really goes back a long way. The channels for radio and TV belong to the public, but they have been handed out through the Federal Communi- cations Commission for use and exploitation by private enter- prise. Intrinsically they are worth millions. The policy of active state re- sponsibility for cultural levels exemplified in the Canadian and British practice, for ex- ample, of maintaining compe- titive programs has never found support in the United States. Supporting most of Mr.' Stem- pel's charges Oct. 7 was Alfred , David, publicity agent for the show. He testified under oath that Edwin Slote, an attorney representing the publicity firm for which he worked, first inti- mated to him that het should lie to the New York grand jury and district attorney, and when be rejected this advice, that he should get out of town. There were dramatic moments, Mr. Davis testified, as members of the NBC staff, agents for d'21," and public-relations men held secret strategy councils' to bolster their collapsing prop- erty under the threat of im- pending exposure, writes Ri- chard L. Strout in the Christian Science Monitor. The National Broadcasting Company had bought the 'show, he said, for a sum variously re- ported as' between $2,000,000 and $4,000,000. The whole na- tion was watching it. There was only one thing the matter, Mr. Davis reluctantly intimated. It was rigged. * Mr. Davis testified that NBC Private Jones Hunts For Gold --- Arizona's craggy Huachuca Mountains knew the tread of the conquistadores f.0 u r centuries ago, and every canyon and ca- vern has its legend of buried Spanish treasure, But none of the older legends has a sham- pion like Robert Jones. Jones, a 45-year-old, 220- pound, illiterate Negro from Dallas, created his own legend in 1941 when he was stationed at Fort Huachuca as an infan- try Private- Taking a Sunday stroll on the reservation, so his story goes, he crashed into a brush-covered shaft some 32 feet deep, At the bottom be discovered a granite chamber, shored with hand-laid rock, con- taining at least 100 gold bare that weighed about 50 pounds each, and another 100 bars of black metal, possibly tarnished silver - millions of dollars in bullion. Private Jones went back to his company area and reported his 'find to the first sergeant, who responded with the skepti- cism inherent in first sergeants. But a few days later Jones threw a $400 party for his friends, and said he paid for it with part of $800 received from a man in nearby Douglas, Ariz., for a piece of one of the heavy gold bars. In any event, Jones was ship- ped off to the Pacific before he could revisit his bonanza, and was seriously wounded. Ever since, between long sieges in • veterans' hospitals and be- tween odd jobs to supplement his disability..pension, Jones had been talking to anyone who would listen about his hidden treasure, Seven times in the past eleven years, he visited Fort Huachuca in his stubborn quest for gold, only to be' told he couldn't" dig on the reservation. Finally, this year, his story reached Maj. , Gen, F. W. Moorman, comman- der of Fort Huachuca, now used as an electronics proving ground. In General Moorman, Jones found a sympathetic listener. For one thing; Jones's service' record showed he was an emin- ently honest and, reliable sol- dier. Two Army psychiatrists in- terviewed him and reported that he was sane, firmly con- vinced he was telling the truth. . General Moorman realized that Jones just possibily might be right. And if he was, the government under the law, would get 60 per cent of the treasure, plus taxes on Jones's, 40 per cent. The general made his deci- sion, called Jones in and told him: "Start digging." Jones and a companion slogged up Hua- chuca Canyon with picks and shovels. Along the way, Jones pointed to a wooden shed blaz- ed with his initials - all he knew how to write, he said, A little farther on, Jones pick- ed a spot and planted hisl pick. "It's just about here," he said; "and just 32 feet down." But after a day of fruitless shoveling Jones went back to heaclqtfar- ters for help. Jones was offered a drill on Condition that if it didn't hit an underground cavity at 32 feet, he would go back to .Dal- las. The drill ground down through the earth's crust • and at just the right depth, vanish- ed in emptiness. That did it. A full colonel, Elbridge Bacon, was assigned to' the search with a crew of men and tons Of 'equipnient. For two full weeks they bit and clawed through the rotten granite with pneu- matic drill's, scoop shovels, and bulldozers. When underground streams flooded their excava- tion, they brought Up pumps, Finally, at the weekend, fif- teen days and an estimated $1,000 in the hole, the" Army officials decided they would blast, and if there Was 'no gold, they would quit the Search. They drilled a hole 35 feet deep and dumped 30 sticks of dyna- mite in it. The blast created a crater, but revealed no gold. Jones thanked them and said goodby, bid he was riot giving tip his Search. His confidence Unshaken, he Conceded he might haVb been a feiv feet off on the location, and firinly_ declared he would go, of the pentagon, ok to the U.S. Treasury Depart- ment, for More help'. Jones says, with all the conviction that than has revealed since he first thirsted and suffered for gold some 4,000 years ago; "I krui,W the gold's ,them. Soinewhere.'' — 'Prom iNWSWItit.

He has his own "porthole" through which he watches life go by. Early Canadian Settlements Canada's history is the record of venturesome men who ex- plored and brought to life a country surpassed in size only by Russia and China. The pio- neers crossed the oceans in frail ships, walked the rough wilder- ness in loneliness and priva- tion, hewed their fields from forest or buffalo range, fought or soothed, the Indians, endured cold, hunger and 'fatigue - and doffed their bonnets to none. They developed their own cus- toms and laws . . , They carried with them the traditions of many lands; but the forms of government t h e y developed, while based chiefly on the ex- ample of the United Kingdom, were made to fit Canadian needs. Today, among t h e proudest words in the mouth of a Cana- dian are those associated with the frontier - pioneer, old- t i m e r, sourdough, voyageur, coureur de bois. They reflect the spirit of a people still more restless after 400 years of his- tory than the citizens of other lands who do not know the appeal of dim, far-off places where white man's foot has never trod. The frOntier spirit has ani- mated Canadians in deed and thought, in education, research, business, art'and music, as much as in physical endeavour. When the last frontier of the North has been fully mapped, when every sounding has been taken and every acre surveyed, the old spirit will remain in the character of the people. In 1000 A.D. the first white visitor came to Canada's shores -Leif Ericson, out for adven- ture in his high-prowed Vik- ing ship, his men rowing with steady stroke down the coast of Nova Scotia. They tasted the sweet berries of Canada and then went to Greenland.
