Idleness --
Not So Hot !
Recently one of the unions al.
Kitimat had a long sessionwith
the management discussing a 35 -
cent -an -hour pay increase and a
40 -hour work.
The comment of one of the
workers on these discussions is
noteworthy. He said; "An increase
in pay is just what I need but
my complaint has not been the
rate of pay per hour but the
few hours only which I am allow-
ed to work at that rate. On a
rough calculation df 1GB hours to
a week I find I sleep 70 hours,
line up for food 3% hours, eat
food 7 hours, lie on my bed or
have nothing to do for 40 hours
and work 48 hours. It will, there-
fore, be easily understood why
I do not wish to find myself
working for 40 hours and flopping
around unproductively f o r 48
hours per week. The only major
commercial disadvantage of Kiti-
mat to me is that the hours of
work are not long enough and
thereby' follows that the conse-
quent pay cheque on an hourly
basis is also insufficient."
Enforced idleness as a result
of the 40 -hour week must be par-
ticularly unwelcome on projects
like Kitimat and others in the
remote places in Canada. Nor is
enforced Idleness really welcome
in more populated centres - but
in these places the workers can
do something about it. In fact,
the 40 -hour week has created a
new class of workers known as
"moonlighters." These are men
and women who have two jobs,
They do one job during the short
workday of the 40 -hour week and
have another job to occupy their
evening hours.
The fact seems to be that many
workers do not really like idle-

odd 'Adventures
Of Sleep -Walkers
Are sleep -walkers given some
supernatural protection? Thia
question is often asked when it
is reported that a somnambulist
has walked on a window ledge,
or otherwise dangerous place,
without apparently endangering
himself.
At Fareham, Hampshire, a
man walked, barefoot for four
miles on .a read covered with
sharp granite chippings, yet he
felt nothing;,' When he arrived.
at his destination, an uncle's
home, he was awakened and did
not remember walking en inch,
In Eastbourne a nine-year-old
girl walked from her room one
night and was found by her
parents and pollee sitting on a
bench at the waterfront - still
fast, asleep,
' To prove that sleep -walkers
bear charmed lives there is the
case of a three-year-old Coven-
try boy who, while asleep,
climbed out of his first -floor bed-
room- window, slid down a roof
outside and 'dropped nine feet
to the ground, after which
he crawled and walked more
than a mile in bitterly' cold wea-
ther along a1 towpath 'before
turning around and comingli0me
-quite . unharmed.
In Canada, a sleepwalker
with a long history of rambling
about while • asleep awoke one
morning in a, cold fear. Dur-
ing the night he had ' dreamed
that he walked to his sweet-
heart's home and stabbed her to
death with a butcher's knife,
Yet outside snow lay three feet
deep.
Feeling the legs of his pyjamas,
the man discovered to his hor-
ror that they were wet through!
Hurrying to the window of his
bedroom, he saw his footprints
leading to and from the house.
Hastily he telephoned the
girl . but a police sergeant
answered the phone., The girl
had been found •stabbed to
death! She lived fifteen miles
from the youth's home.
At his trial abundant evidence
forthcoming about his sleep-
walking and a jury returned a
verdict that he had killed the
girl in his sleep - and was,
therefore, not guilty.
Another notable case came be-
fore the Melbourne courts in
1950, when a mother was charged
with murdering her nineteen -
year -old daughter. The fifty-
year -old woman was described
in court as an habitual sleep-
walker.
leepwalker. One night she dreamed
that she took an axe and killed
her daughter.
When she awoke the next
morning she found her daughter
dead and a bloodstained axe
next to the body_
Medical evidence was given
that she was subject to vivid
dreams during sleep -walking
and that such a person could
.actually perform a horrible crime
without knowing anything about
it. A jury acquitted her in less
than five minutes.
Not long ago in Plymouth an
almost identical case :came be-
fore the courts when a Royal
Navy lieutenant was charged
with attempting to murder his.
wife.
The couple had beefs happily
married evidence disclosed, and
there was no reason why he
should have tried to kill the wo-
man to whom he had been mar-
ried for ten years.
"Next thing," he stated,- 'LI
found myself kneeling on my
wife with my hands around her
throat. I noticed blood on the
pillow and I saw an axe and I
realized that I must have hit
her with it, I telephoned the
police,"
A psychiatrist gave evidence
that the occurrence had taken
place while the man had been
in a somnambulistic fit and that
within the space of some two
years he had had two identical
cases of husbands attacking their
Wives while asleep. The lieu-
tenant was found not guilty.
A few months ago an eleven -
year -old girl, travelling with her
parents on the Melbourne -Ade-
laide express in Australia, walk-
ed off the train in her sleep
while it was speeding through
the night at fifty-five utiles an
hour. She was found sitting up
where she had fallen - on a
grassy embankment, bruised,
but otherwise unhurt.
In the Middle Ages sleep-
walking was thought to be some
form of insanity and at various
times sleepwalkers were either
condemned and killed as agents
of the devil or revered as saints.
Sleep -walking, eourts were told
et various trials, is, in fact, no
more than enacting a dream,
in Niagara Palls, New York,
a sleep -walker crossed the clan-
gorous falls in a dug -out canoe;
another swam a hundred yards
before awaking.
Perhaps the .most amazing
case on record comes from the
e h
Channel Islands, where a man
was found strangled sisal led t1-. death -
g
his own fingers still around his
throat,
At the inquest 11 was proved
that he Was subject to sleep-
walking and the court found
that he had strangled himself
while asleep,

How It Feels To
Nine Feet Tall
Albert Kinberg, the, San who
burst into the Soviet Embassy in
Berlin recently and demanded to
talk peace with Molotov, is a
seven -foot tall Swede. His extra
inches proved useful, for he
knociced out four of the twelve
Russian guards who surrounded,
and finally, overpowered,' him.
Seven toot is tall, even for` a
Scandinavian, and certainly in
comparison with the average
height of an Englishman 5
feet 71/:1 inches; and of a Scot, 5
feet, 816 inches. But even up
there, head and shbuldeas above
the rest of us, Mr. Kinberg is not
by any means alone. He could
look Adi Berber, who plays the
circus strong man in the film;
"Carnival Story," right in the
eye without even bending his
his head, Adi is a seven -foot, 350 -
pound tower of muscle who earns
his living as a professional wrest
ler and has two sons, the elder
of whom is as big as he.
The commanding *stature . of
Queen Salote of Tonga was no-
ticeable at the Coronation. But
back home in her native land
where men and women are
among the tallest in the world,
she looks quite average. But then
to the Polynesians a tall Ameri-
can like Hal Baker, New York
lawyer and squash rackets cham-
pion. who stands 6 feet 7 inches,
wouldn't merit a second glance.
Baker finds his height a great ad-
vantage, because he can reach
the ball anywhere fn'the court.
The tallest man its the world?
Czechoslovakia boasts of au 8 -
foot -3 -inch giant. There is a man
in Austria only one inch shorter.
And Ted Evans of Englefield
Green, Surrey, at the last meas-
uring; went just over 9 Peet, 4
inches.
When Ted was way down in
the 7 foot 6 inch mark, his doe-
for warned him that he, might
expect ,to grow to eight feet, but
he didn't stop there and medical
science can neither account for
the way he went
on growing, nor
could it put on the brakes.
What's life like up there? Pret-
ty difficult. You can't live in e
prefab or a bungalow without
cracking your head several thnee
a day; your clothes have 10 be
specially made for you, which le
an expensive luxury; you suffer
from cold feet at night because
they stick out of th'e bed; travel-
ling 'is a nightmare in buses and
trains, which you'll find are all
built low,
Ted Evans had to have a' spec-
ial allocation of wartime cloth-
ing coupons, his shoes cost $60,00
a pair and $5.00 to sole and heel
- and when he took up cycling,
a special machine had to be made
to accommodate those long legs
and his weight, But worst of all,
he laments, are the endless jokes
about his height.
It's still worse for a girl when
she goes on growing and grow-
ing, because there are so few
men tall enough to dance with
her - or lead her to the altar,
But extra inches quite often go
with feminine charm, Victor Mc-
Laglen's bewitching niece, Den-
ise McLaglen, is 8 feet 1 inch in
her nylons and one of London's
tallest showgirls. She recently
went to the United States - to
see how America felt about a
-girl of that height in show bus-
iness.
Another six-foot lovely is Ter-
ry Morley, who toured South
Africa recently with the Folies
Bergere company and there met
and married a Southern Rhodes-
ian 6 foot 31,4 inches tall,
Is there any advantage in be-
ing taller than everybody else?
Well, the world's great brains are
sometimes to be found at the top
of tall, thin people, When sci-
entific tests were made, it was
found that, on average, a hund-
red distinguished scientists stood
21'2 inches taller than the aver-
age - while a hundred convicted
criminals averaged nearly two
inches below the normal. And it's
a great help being tall when you
want to paint the ceiling.
Get The Best From
Your Home -Freezer
With the increasing popular-
ity of home freezers many house-
wives are freezing home-grown
fruits and vegetables. To obtain
the best quality frozen foods it
is necessary to take certain pre-
cautions in handling. Most vege-
tables and fruits are satisfactory
for frozen preservation if har-
vested at the peak of quality.
This is usually when the vege-
table or fruit would be gathered
for table use.'
Vegetables and fruit deterior-
ate rapidly after harvesting, and
so should be frozen as soon after
picking as possible Thorough
washing is necessary to remove
soil and other foreign matter.
After washing the blanching
and scalding of all vegetables, ex-
cept rhubarb, is essential. This
treatment helps preserve the
color and flavour. If vegetables
Bre not blanched, deterioration
soon occurs, making the frozen
vegetable unpalatable, Blanching
times shown in most bulletins or
cookbooks refer to boiling tem-
perature conditions, and so it Is
advisable to use the largest avail-
able container; and relatively
small amount of materials for
each batch.
After blanching the vegetables
should be cooled by immediate
plunging into cold or preferably
ley water. 'This hastens freezing
and reduces the load on the frees, -
in unit. The product is drained
before packaging in vapour -proof
containers. Moisture vapour -proof
packages are essential, especially
for dry -packed vegetables. The
heat -seal type of plastic bags
which are readily available are
both ecenemi a
e 1 and r practical.
Packaged material must be
placed in the freezer unit as
quickly as possible. Many heine-
makers allow good produce to
spoil by leaving it at room tem-
perature. Per example, the cob -

to freeze in small lots to snake
sure the heat is removed rapidly.
The freezing of fruits .otters
fear difficulties and most fruits
can be frozen with no other pre.
treatment than cleaning end mix-
ing with dry sugar or syrup. The
amount of sugar or strength of
syrup used depends upon the
tartness of the fruit and on in-
dividual taste. Some fruits like
blueberries, currants, gooseber-
ries, raspberries, may be satisfac-

Took Seventh Wife
When 113 Years Old
An old, *leather-bound volume
recently discovered in a Bedford
library reveals the case histories
of eighteenth -century Britons
who cheated old age.
There ' was Thomas Wishart,
who died at Annandale, Drum-
friesshire, aged 124. He'd been
chewing tobacco steadily from
the age of seven, John Riva, a
broker from London, lived to be
116. All his life he chewed cit-
ron bark. His wife bore him a
child when he was 100.
Mrs, Sarah Taylor was the wife
of a Norfolk farmer. To earn her
keep when she was a widow, she
worked on the farm till her
death - at 107. Perhaps it was
also work that killed John Hart,
of Haltem, Sussex. He was a
blacksmith, aged 105.
Who would have wanted to kill
Mrs, Elizabeth Hodson, of Scamp -
sten, near York? Someone hacked
her to death when she was 110.
Mrs. Hilton, of Liverpool, hang-
ed herself at 121 - maybe she
thought she was going on for
ever. .
Mrs, Jane Gray, of Artrep-Ru-
den, in Essex, loved to travel.
Shortly before her death she
crossed Europe, only to come and
die - aged 109.
Near Cork -there lived a sol-
dier named Ames M'Donald who
lived to be 117 and was seven'
feet six inches tall.
One poor lady was not so for-
tunate. Her house was consumed
by Ere when she was only ninety-
six, At the time of her death she
was mother, grandmother, and
great-grandmother of 104 chil-
dren. And that is by no means
the largest family. An epitaph
could once be seen in the church-
yard at Heydon, Yorkshire. with
the following words:
Here lies William Sturton, aged
104, of Patrington, who died in
1726. He had by his first wife 27
children, by his second 17. He
was the father of 44, grandfath-
er of 56, and great-grandfather of
51. In all 151 children,
These, then, are some of Brit-
ain's centenarians, Records have
been carefully kept showing
that, while the southern climates
have encouraged longevity, there
have been amazingly active cen-
tenarians in all parts of England.
Take, for example, Laurence Es- •
mond, who went out riding a
few days before his death, at 106,
and Mrs. Stillian, of Battersea,
who was still an active school-
teacher when she died at 104,
Perhaps Patrick O'Neil, who
was married in 1760 at Clonmell,
aged 113, to his seventh wife, was
the most remarkable of all. He
never drank anything stronger
than plain ale, never ate meat
(except when he gave his fam-
ily a feast), would "rise and go
to bed with the sun," walked
without crutches, went to church
every Sunday, and never had an

The unique fellowship of Chris-

men and woman have a• oneness
in Christ which is unmarred by
differences of race or language.

want to share their joy with

"Are we like the early Christ-
