"Now he thinks he owns me! He tells me what to say and how (and I'm not ignorant) and he has taen a dislike to my best girl friend. He almost forbids my seeing her. He isn't always as polite to me as he used to be. "What has happened? I love him dearly, but I don't like him as he is. You understand what I mean?

So what happens — early Sunday morning Ditto was pawing at my face and Taffy was wandering all around the house wanting to go out. Partner stlil, being dead to the world there was nothing for it but to leave my warm bed and attend to them. Once awake that extra hour seemed tool -long to take so I split the difference and got breakfast halfway between "fast and slow time. I expect in a day or two we shall be quite well adjusted. Last week I was in the Milton district and made a number of calls, mostly on farm families, fairly close to Ginger -Farm. Partner didn't come as he want- ed to get on with some garden work at hoMe. Plenty to do and not too much time to do it in. You never know how soon win- ter will stretch forth its icy hand. I found a number of changes in and around our old neigh- bourhood, On one farm the man of the family had put in a swim- ming pool. I mean a properly constructed swiming pool which I imagine cost plenty. It was the real McCoy. Shallow at one end for children and six feet deep in the middle. Cemente paving stones all around the outside and enclosed by a chain-link fence. His wife said they really enjoyed last summer; never felt the heat at all and always slept well at night. Perhaps I should add this young fellow does not depend on farming for a liv- ing, for the reason that he sold about half his acreage some time ago. Another place. I visited farm- ing activities are still very much the order of the clay. Here I found the lady of the house had bad the entire back of the house remodelled. Spacious, stream- lined kitchen with an adjoining utility room and enough cup- boards and gadgets to please the most fastidious housewife. Re- memberirig the old kitchen as it used to be I thought she had done a marvelous remodelling job, At still another farm I found no outstanding improvements other than painting and paper- ing but the old farm kitchen had a nicely "homey" look with its black-topped kitchen range. And of course` there was a big old-fashioned tea-kettle on the side of the stove ready to pull forward so visitors could be welcomed with a cup of tea. It awoke nostalgic memories of our own kitchen in days gond with mitts and oversocks dry- ing on the high top shelf and a kitchen where everyone came to get warm quickly. A few sticks of dry wood and the stove-top would be red-hot in a few mine utes, Yes, there are attractions peculiar to each type of kitchen — the (Ad' and the news One other place I visited — a Poultry farm With an ultra- Modern house, riot quite finish- ed but liveable. It had every. thing, Matching the best of any suburban homes I have seen — iyat With more space in gall the roorris All this and a gorgeouS view from every window! The hack looked out to a wooded section of the Hamilton Escarp- m e n t; the front to limestone cliffs of the same. With the autumn colouring at its best- the scene was one of breath- taking beauty, marred •partially by a barn under construction between the house and "The Mountain." It was a shame it had to be there however I sup-, pose it was unavoidable since raising chickens is the owner's business. Right now he is not very happy about the price of chickens. How could he be when chickens, ready for the • oven, were selling in the stores last week at 290 a lb. What the far- mers were paid for those same chickens I can't imagine—cer- tainly it wouldn't pay for the cost of raising them. I finished my round of visits by passing Ginger Farm and what I saw made me glad to come back to „where we are living now. It won't be long before the cloverleaf at High- way 401 and 25 will be finished aryl then the traffic going past Ginger Farm will be terrific— and the house only 125 feet from the road. We loved the old farm but it has nothing to at- tract us now — only a host of happy , memories — and that nothing can destroy, And now for quite a different subject. I attended a meeting at Clarkson ,at which the speaker was that well-known television personality, Charles Templeton. His subject was "What is Wrong With. Our Schools?" He laid most of the blame to the number of poorly qualified teachers 'pre- sently employed — a situation, he claimed, that is liable -to be- come progressively worse and should have been foreseen ten years ago. Mr. Templeton • is . a fluent speaker and kept rigid control of his audience during the question period, allowing them' exactly ten minutes to ask questions. That, I thought, was somewhat dictatorial. But per- haps he was afraid there might be a George Rowllands in the audience! Ancient Art Of Ink Rubbing °In China, making rubbings is like playing baseball or football in t his country. The Chinese children do it for fun." The art. of ink rubbing may be child's play iti China, but in the united States it is an eso- teric craft which has few skilled devotees, One of them is a tall, amiable scholar of 42 named Chang Hstum who plies his an- cient skills in a cluttered base- ment Corner. of New York's sprawling Metropolitan Meseurn of Art. His odyssey has taken him from China, which he left when the Communists arrived in 1949, to Hong Kong, where he taught archeology at the univer- sity, arid then to New York laSt March, where he now lives with his wife and five children — ail adePt at ink rubbing, As Chang practiced his craft last month against a tangled backdrop of subterranean utility pipes; the business looked sim- ple indeed. Oh the Worktable before him was a stone relief from the museum's rich Oriental -collection, Chang pressed a sheet of Chinese silk paper tie:lingt the contourt of the sculpture. Then he wet it .with a special solution. When the paper was dry enough he dabbed it with a series pf silk-covered cotton balls charged with ink, repeating the process until he felt the rubbing was finished. Then, with infinite care, he re-' moved the paper which held the imprint of the relief, "A rubbing for an archeolo- gist'? Chang remarked, holding up the finished work, "is the same thing as plans for an ar- chitect. It helps us study our finds. It is more exact than a photograph could ever be." Chang has been making rub- bings since he was 7, which ac- counts for his easy skill. What he finds difficult these d a y s, however, is tracking down the materials for his job. Though he brought some old sticks of dye with him that had been handed down in his family for genera- tions, he has spent much time scouring Chinatown shops for good quality silk, paper, and inks. Chang is not only making a record of the museum's collec- tion (he has made impressions of 35 separate pieces), but he has helped build up a lively little business fdr the •Met. There was a time in China, he says, when rubbings were called "black tigers," dangerous ani- mals, because it was so difficult to tell a good one from a bad one; the prices .ranged from I cent to $10,000, and buying them was a risky game. But mainly through the artistry of Ch'en Fu-chai, quality was standard- ized and the worst examples of rubbings vanished from the market. The ones at the Met sell for $2 to $45 and they are well worth it. —From NEWSWEEK. A bloke we know came out of a meeting recently looking parti- cularly dejected—when we ask- ed him why, he said, 'It was one of those meetings where you couldn't hear yourself think for the noise of the flogging of dead horses.! Now You Can $mell The Movies. Trying to follow in the foot- steps of his late, ilarnbOyant father, showman Michael Todd Jr. has found himself blazing a new and typically flamboyant trail: Ile has become entrepren- eur of Smell-O-Vision, e process for pumping odors into a movie theater to heighten the impact of the movie, Developed by Swiss inventor Hans Laube, Vision] caught the elder Todd's fancy as early as 1954, but it was left to Todd, jr, to carry it through, In the last year and a half, he has spent $2 million to produce a movie• ("Scent of Mys- tery") especially written for aromatic effects (examples: a mystery woman identified only by her perfume, a villain who smokes an odoriferous pipe), He has also built up the Dec. 22 premiere at Chicago's Cinestage theater as a pioneering venture into the third dimension of sense. A few weeks ago, however, it appeared that pioneer Todd might be beaten by a nose. New York theater owner Walter Reade Jr., himself the son of a big name showman (who for- merly operated New York's Astor and Mayfair theaters), an- nounced at a scented press con- lerence that he would premiere a smellodrama of his own at the Mayfair on Dec. 2. Obviously rushing to beat Todd's premiere date, Reade's A-romaFCama, laid out some $300,000 for the U.S. and Canadian rights to an Italian - made travelogue on China ("Behind the Great Wall") plus the rights to a U.S.-develop- ed process that could be used to . dub smells •into the scenes. Among Reade's best smells: The scent of tea leaves (during a scene in a tea-house), of a tiger, an explosion, and a clean, spark- ling river. The decision in this contest may, well hang on who has the best set of smells. Both will get their emells from varying mix- SEA SHELLS -- Dolly ,Bairineau, listens to a .sea Ihell on a Flor- ida beach. lures of aromatic chemicals con- cooled by perfwno chemists: to stimulate natural odors, Read* will "inject" his odors into the theater through the air distribu. lien system, counting on quick evaporation and a special elec- tronic filter to kill each one off before the next-scheduled smell, Todd will pipe his odors to each seat, which is more expensive but also quicker and easier to control. Some Todd beak- busters: The scents of penile; fresh-baked bread, salty Ocean breezes, and an "overpowering smell' of port wine (to go with a scene in which a man i5 crush- ed to death by falling wine casks), Both producers agree on one thing. As Reade put it: "You can be sure that none cif our smells will be objectionable."
