They Couldn't Do
If They Tried
Without even trying, a few un-
sung individuals performed fancy
feats last year that might have
stun1ped many a stunt man,
In a roundup of freak accidents,
these headlines for 1947 are listed:
Mrs. Anne l'eGinnis fell from
a fourth -floor fire escape, struck a
clothesline at the third -floor level,
was flipped through a window and
landed in the second floor bath-
room of a startled neighbor.
Charles Arter, pitboy in a South
Yorkshire, England, mine, fell
down a 1,554•foot shaft and suf-
fered only a broken leg. Halfway
down, he overtook an elevator
cage descending almost as fast as
be was. He landed on its roof,
and rode the rest of the way down.
In 1411e, France, Yvon Dherire,
a tile setter, fell six stories from
a room toward a baby buggy be-
low. The mother f r an t i c a l l ,y
snatched the infant to safety,
Dherire hit the buggy squarely
and was unhurt. As the baby gur-
gled its appreciation, the mother
fainted and broke an ankle.
After her automobile turned ov-
er five times, Mrs. Lee Marksbury
crawled uninjured from the
wrechage in Centralia, Mo. She
took a look at the debris, fainted
and suffered a cut over her eye.
Leroy Thurman struggled try-
ing
rying to open a case of compressed
bedsprings in Oklahoma City, The
case flew open, the springs cata-
pulting him against the ceiling.
He was placed in a bed with
springs --in a hospital.
As fireman Horace Lebouf was
carrying Catherine Markowski
down a ladder of a burning build-
ing in Detroit, flames shot out
of a first -floor window. .He lost
his balance, dropped Mrs. AM'ark -
owslci and landed on top of her.
She was bruised he was unhurt
but apologetic.
Stanley Morrison ran into his
father unexpectedly one d a y.
When Stanley's truck nosed into
the side of a passenger train at a
crossing the engineer stopped the
train and hurried back to see the
damage. He was Stanley's dad.
When a car was stolen in Holly-
wood, the owner borrowed a
neighbor's car and started for the
police station to report the loss.
Another car smacked his borrow-
ed car frau behind as he was re-
turning home. He got out to ex-
amine the damage, recognized the
car which hit him as his own,
and held the driver for the police.
The season caste and departed
without fishermen ICatsumi Nishi-
tawa and Woodrow Wakatsuki re-
alizing their dream of a record
mackerel catch. They tried hard—
but that was the trouble. They
hauled in so many fish the Weight
sank their boat.
Radio To Instruct
Outpost Children
The Canadian Army radio sta-
tion at Aklavik on' the Mackenzie
River will begin shortly to send
out educational programs for the
children of the Mackenzie district,
says the Christian Science Monitor.
A large number of recordings
concerning historical events, leg-
ends, well-known books, and the
Canadian Parliament are being
flown to this most northerly of
Canadian radio stations.
Among those- to whom the new
programs will be directed will be
the families of Indian and Eskimo
t r a op e r s and hunters who be-
cause of the nomadic lives they
follow, have little chance to send
their children to any school. Not
very ninny Indians but the ma-
jority of Eskimos have receiving
sets, and it is expected the In-
tlkns will he getting more of
them.
Schoolroom radioeasts are given
daily by stations at Edmonton in
Alberta and Watrous, Saskatche-
scan. Under favorable conditions
these programs reach the lower
reaches of the Mackenzie district,
but not as far north as Aklavik
or other northerly posts along the
Mackenzie,
Radio reception from the south.

district, In the eastern arctic, mis-

Bees Help Increase
Clover Seed Yield
Experiments have been under-
taken at the Dominion Experiment-
al Station, Prince George, B.C., to
determine the value and the need
for bees in the seed production of
alsike clover. It was found that
where honey titres were present the
yield of alsike seed was twenty
times as high as where no bees were
present. In the fields where both
native wild bees and honey bees
1 re present in large numbers the
seed yield of alsike was four times
as high as ', here only the honey
bees were evailable for pollination.
The result shows the value of honey
bees in the seed production of this
crop, and indicates that beekeeping
could well be adopted in conjunc-
tion 'with alsike seed production
against the time when native pollin-
ating insects may be reduced to
insufficient numbers.
CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM

So many weeks we have ridden the
crest of a wave—a wave of prepar-
ing, of giving and rece;ing, of go-

in Christmas fare—that to find our-
' elves once more in calm waters, as it
were, is something we can realy ap-

gifts put into regular use, if that
is possible, and children returning
unwillingly to school—then begirs
the housewife's brief spell of Para-
dise. There will be other busy times,
she is sure, some of the family will
inevitably develop winter colds and
coughs—bot we hope nothing worse

monotony of ordinary everyday

heard a chorus of protests following
that last remark. "Rest," I hear you
say—"rest, with all there is to do in
this house!". All right .... all right

for that matter—but you know it is
quite possible to rest as we work. -

youth; it is part of its restless ener-
gy, but too often this sante sort of
almost perpetual motion continues
though life with nerves being the
main -motive power driving us on
when common sense is telling us to
stop, or at least slow up. We women,
1 think, are the worst offenders. And
wily? Because we let our families be-
come too dependent upon Mother do-
ing this and Mother fixing that. And
believe me, I have noticed that this
same situation is reaching alarming
proportions in the present acute
housing shortage. It exists in the
country as well as in urban districts.
Married couples live with their par-
ents, grandchildren come along, and
it is still "Mother" who bears the
brunt of the Load. In some cases the
young married bread -winner has a
job away from home. And then who
is it that gets his breakfast, asd en-
dures his early morning grouchiness?
You know as well as I do, don't
you? Mother has always looked
after her children so she goes right
on with the job, irrespective of
wives, husbands and grandchildren.
And the children, in the great major-
ity of cases, unthinkingly allow her
to do it.
* * *
Honestly, I just about see red
when I notice the weariness of so
many not -so -young women these
days, and I know it is because they
are over-worked, over tired and too
good to their families. Oh, I know
it is not so easy for the young folk
either—but they at least have youth
on their side -youth and the hope of
a hone of their own at some future
time. Surely it should be possible for
young and old to realise some of the
difficulties peculiar to each and thus
come to 'a fairer family agreement
regarding work and responsibility.

Our little Whisky is, at present,
quite a distraction to serious think-
ing. She is tearing around the roost
like a wild thing—now here, now
there, in and out around the furniture •
and then back to her newest "teaser"
—an empty spool Bung by a string
from the handle of the door. If you
have a kitten and want it to Play just
try that little trick some time. It is
as good as a circus to watch;

People ask is she real? Is she a

those Susie
stories ever nia-
terialiee? The an -
to them all
is 'YES. The only
Susie story that
wan written last
year, that didn't
actually happen
was the one Susie herself wrote,
when we were up north on holidays.
* * *
There are ninny incidents that hap-
pen in the life of your reporter and
Susie that never appear in print. The
reason being: that few people would
believe then. For example we went
over to Susie's house the night after
she had the Christmas tree up and
decorated. Trying to Help, we got
down under the tree to plug in the
lights. In so doing, we pulled the
tree over with a thundering crash!
Susie came rimming to find yours
truly buried under green branches
with his you -know -what protruding
with icicles and snow decorating it,
and making a beautiful picture. Do
you believe that? - We didn't think
so, but its the troth!
* * *
Then, a few weeks ago, we tools
Susie for a ride in the country. Now
we happen to be one of those unfor-
tunates .who were blessed with bad
teeth as a child; even though mother
fed us on milk and fruit juices, etc.
Well, we now support an upper plate
of store food -mashers. Getting back
to the story, Susie and I were riding
along, both of us munching away at
apples. A piece of apple skin got
lodged in my throat. I started to
hack and choke. "I—I", I gasped,
"will try and get home and get a
drink". But the choking got worse
and I was getting blue in the face
Finally I pulled up on the edge of
the road. "Hit me on the Back," I
yelled at Susie, jumping out of the.
door, and at the same time jamming
the set of molars in nsy pocket. T
coughed! Susie slapped my back!
Finally the piece of apple skin gave
ground and up it carne. "Whew"
I grinned at Susie, forgetting to pint
the teeth back Susie looked; her
eyes popped out and she pointed at
my month, "Where are they? What
happened to them?" she cried. Sud-
denly I thought of my gaping, gummy
grin, and promptly slapped the arti-
ficial chewers back into place. Now
don't say it—that one is true, too.
* *
One reader asked, why do port al-
ways mice Susie appear to be cross
and out of sorts. She always seems
to be mad at you or something, and
almost always talks to you in a sar-
castic manner. Well, dear reader,
to tell you the truth, I only write
about the messes that Susie and I
get into. Actually we have a lot of
fou and have many memories of
good times — and a scrap book to
prove it. You may remember the
story about the bike hike, the flat tire
and the rain. Those things happened
and we have pictures here to prove it.
As a matter of fact, the taxi driver
who brought us home always greets
us with—"well, it loolcs like a nice
day for a Hike, I think it's going to
oohs,"'
Susie is not really as cross or Hard
to get along with as I make her ap-
pear to be. Why, in fact, last Christ-
mas she gave me a watch, and this
year she gave me a cigar. Hmnhmm,
there's something wrong there some
place, Oh, well, she probably was
broke.
Looking hack 'over last year's files
we notice a number of Susie stories.
The first was in March; about the
Egg and I. Then in April we re-
ported on the sucker fishing, The
next was in June and this was written
by the little lady herself. She tried
to expose me, but it was all a line of
gu ff. In August we did a story on
our sailing experience. What a day
that weal Then M September it
was the bike hike. And in October
we helped put tip venetian blinds.
That was the last of Susie for last
year.
Vt'ell, as we told yon a few lines
back, she's a great kid. You'll hear
more of her this year too. Why,
just now, she brnnglt ns a cup of
tea and a toasted bacon. And another
thing, dear reader, those stories were
really on the level. So the next time
you read a Susie story, stop wonder-
ing about her. She really exists and
I1ow1 She just belted me over the
ear for writing this. I didn't notice
her standing there reading over my
shoulder. 1 hereby retract what I
said, .Ain't she ignorant?

A ILE TALKS •
Good Eating The Scotch Way
In the lowlands of Scotland the lassies once wore broad bonnets
called scones, Whether these bonnets gate their name to the buns,
or whether the buns inspired the bonnets was never recorded by the
Scotch. Either way, scones make superlative eating, especially when
ready -to -vat bran is tired to give them a nut -like taste.
For a festive touch, use cranberries as a filling for these tasty
triangles.
Jelly Scones
14 cups sifted flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
,% teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
f cup ready -to -eat bran
34 cup shortening
2' eggs
lh cup light cream
34 cup cranberry sauce or your
favorite jam or jelly.
Sift flour with baking powder,
salt and sugar; add bran, Cut in
shortening. Separate one egg; beat
the egg white slightly, then measure
out 1 tablespoon and keep for glaze.
Beat rel tining eggs' and add to
first mixture with cream. Stir until
dough follows fork around bowl.
Roll out on lightly floured board to
54 -inch thickness; cut into 2554 inch
squares. Place 1 teaspoon 'cran-
berry sauce in centre of each
square; fold diagonally and press
points together. Moisten edges,
crimp with fork. Brush with re-
served egg white; sprinkle with
sugar, Bake in hot oven (450 dg.
F.) about 12 minutes.
Yield: 12 scones.
The King's Coaches
Neither of the two principal car-
riages used in the Royal weeding
procession was origipally intended
for Royal use.
The Glass Coach was made in
1881 by John W. Peters, to the
order of the Lord Mayor -elect of
London, Sir Whitaker Ellis, It
was bought by the Crown in 1911
for use at the Coronation of King
George V, and since then it has
been used by Royal brides. It is
so called because there is rather less
wood in its bodywork than in the
other coaches of the Royal .Yews.
It is rather less ornate than the
Irish State Coach. . This coach,
once the property of a Lord Mayor
of Dublin, was admired and bought
by Queen Victoria during a visit to
Ireland in 1852. It is normally
used by the King for the opening
of Parliament.
Tire State Coach proper, which
was built in 1701, weighs four tons
and is, of course, unsuitable for a
trotting procession.
Near the Mark
The teacher was trying t0 give
her small pupils a mental picture
of a barrel without disclosing the
name of the article.
"The object l have in mind",
she explained, "is large and round,
being nearly as big one way as the
other, and if laid on its side and
started at the top of a hill, it would
roll to the bottom. Now, who can
tell what it is?"
A little hand went up, and the
teacher said, "All right, Marjorie;
what do you think I was describ-
ing?"
"My daddy I" carte the unexpect-
ed reply.

year she gave me a cigar. Hmnhmm,
there's something wrong there some
place, Oh, well, she probably was
broke.
Looking hack 'over last year's files
we notice a number of Susie stories.
The first was in March; about the
Egg and I. Then in April we re-
ported on the sucker fishing, The
next was in June and this was written
by the little lady herself. She tried
to expose me, but it was all a line of
gu ff. In August we did a story on
our sailing experience. What a day
that weal Then M September it
was the bike hike. And in October
we helped put tip venetian blinds.
That was the last of Susie for last
year.
Vt'ell, as we told yon a few lines
back, she's a great kid. You'll hear
more of her this year too. Why,
just now, she brnnglt ns a cup of
tea and a toasted bacon. And another
thing, dear reader, those stories were
really on the level. So the next time
you read a Susie story, stop wonder-
ing about her. She really exists and
I1ow1 She just belted me over the
ear for writing this. I didn't notice
her standing there reading over my
shoulder. 1 hereby retract what I
said, .Ain't she ignorant?

A ILE TALKS •
Good Eating The Scotch Way
In the lowlands of Scotland the lassies once wore broad bonnets
called scones, Whether these bonnets gate their name to the buns,
or whether the buns inspired the bonnets was never recorded by the
Scotch. Either way, scones make superlative eating, especially when
ready -to -vat bran is tired to give them a nut -like taste.
For a festive touch, use cranberries as a filling for these tasty
triangles.
Jelly Scones
14 cups sifted flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
,% teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
f cup ready -to -eat bran
34 cup shortening
2' eggs
lh cup light cream
34 cup cranberry sauce or your
favorite jam or jelly.
Sift flour with baking powder,
salt and sugar; add bran, Cut in
shortening. Separate one egg; beat
the egg white slightly, then measure
out 1 tablespoon and keep for glaze.
Beat rel tining eggs' and add to
first mixture with cream. Stir until
dough follows fork around bowl.
Roll out on lightly floured board to
54 -inch thickness; cut into 2554 inch
squares. Place 1 teaspoon 'cran-
berry sauce in centre of each
square; fold diagonally and press
points together. Moisten edges,
crimp with fork. Brush with re-
served egg white; sprinkle with
sugar, Bake in hot oven (450 dg.
F.) about 12 minutes.
Yield: 12 scones.
The King's Coaches
Neither of the two principal car-
riages used in the Royal weeding
procession was origipally intended
for Royal use.
The Glass Coach was made in
1881 by John W. Peters, to the
order of the Lord Mayor -elect of
London, Sir Whitaker Ellis, It
was bought by the Crown in 1911
for use at the Coronation of King
George V, and since then it has
been used by Royal brides. It is
so called because there is rather less
wood in its bodywork than in the
other coaches of the Royal .Yews.
It is rather less ornate than the
Irish State Coach. . This coach,
once the property of a Lord Mayor
of Dublin, was admired and bought
by Queen Victoria during a visit to
Ireland in 1852. It is normally
used by the King for the opening
of Parliament.
Tire State Coach proper, which
was built in 1701, weighs four tons
and is, of course, unsuitable for a
trotting procession.
Near the Mark
The teacher was trying t0 give
her small pupils a mental picture
of a barrel without disclosing the
name of the article.
"The object l have in mind",
she explained, "is large and round,
being nearly as big one way as the
other, and if laid on its side and
started at the top of a hill, it would
roll to the bottom. Now, who can
tell what it is?"
A little hand went up, and the
teacher said, "All right, Marjorie;
what do you think I was describ-
ing?"
"My daddy I" carte the unexpect-
ed reply.
