HI5 BRAIN 'SPRANG A LEAK' George Hardyrnan, 66, of Chorkee, U.S.A. drove 18 miles along a busy highway on the wrong side of the road — and did not know it.

Staff Bird With Two Dressings for Di By DOROTHY MADDOX Just to make lite more interesting, why not use two different kinds of stuffing for your holiday turkey! Use one for the chest cavity; another, more exotic One, for the Week cavity, It your family goes in for stutEng,'eating lots of it, bake extra amounts in ,greased individual molds, That's much better than trying' to cram tee much into the turkey, because turkeys should be loosely stuffed, Seine stuffings are simple and straightforward; others are fairly complex. Here are three recipes using enriched, yeast -raised bread as a base—each more than enough to 1111 the neck cavity of a 15 -pound turkey, with enough left over for the casserole dish. Toasted Almond Stuffing Eight cups soft bread crumbs, 1/4 cup melted butter or marg- arine, 2 cups chopped toasted almonds, 11 gups green celery tops, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 2 eggs, 21 teaspoons salt, A tea- spoon pepper, Ye cup grated onion. Combine all ingredients thoroughly and use to stuff cavities of turkey. Sausage Stuffing Eight eons stale bread cubes, IA cup melted butter oz'. marg- arine, 1 cup finely chopped onions, 11/4 cups chopped celery stalks and leaves, le pound bulk sausage, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 3 tablespoons minced parsley, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1 egg, 1 cu chicken stock or milk. Cook sausage. Combine with remaining ingredients and use to stuff turkey cavities. We used to have oyster stuffing every Christmas when I was a small girl, and this one reminds me of the way mg' grand- mother's wed to taste, Oyster Stuffing ('yield: about 10 cups; enough for a I2 -pound turkey) One half cup butter or margarine, ei cup chopped onion, 12 able Taste Treat r "ace but twice -stuffed is this turkey, a new taste -treat for you and yours during the holidays. cup diced celery, s/s teaspoon Tabasco, 8 cups soft bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 2 cups drained, chopped oysters or 1 can (16 ounces). Melt butter, add onion and celery and cook until onion is yellow, but not brown. Stir in Tabasco, Add to bread crumbs with parsley,, salt and poultry seasoning. Mix Lightly.

This forecast comes from C. S. Slater of the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture, who says that present day tillage — plow- ing. harrowing, packing and cul- tivating — has been applied too extensively and too intensively, From the standpoint of soil structure maintenance, tillage he apt to be more harmful than beneficial in that it sets up ere- sion hazards;, and exposes the soil todeterioration by freezing and other' Climatic factors. * Mr, Slater 'foresaw an overall decrease in total tillage to pro• toot the soil; Minimum tillage requirements will be establish- ed for different. crops. Weed control with chemicals will be more widespread to reduce total till age. * r Greater use of chemical nitro. gen .I1 help reduce the need for tillage merely to increase soil nitrification. Increased use of mixed fertilizers for higher crops yield will call for better utilization of rainfall in non- irrigated regions. Tillage will have to go deeper in shallow soils to enlarge the root zone and ,provide increased water storage capacity. Problems of compaction caused by a heavy machinery will also call for de- velopment of deeper tillage practices. *. * * To meet the food and fibre needs of an increasing popula- tion, more intensive use of land is impending. The future will see more short rotations with summer cash crops. Develop- ments will take place in tillage practices and equipment to salve the problems of growing two or more crops in one year, maintaining the soil at the same tame. Do's And Dont's For Using Ladders DO'S 1. Work facing the ladder and hold on with one hand. 2. Hook leg over sung if neces- sary to work with both hands. 3. Face ladder when either ascending or descending. .4. Secure ladder when on roof so ladder will not blow down. 5. Make sure a step ladder is fully spread and locked with all four legs resting on level base. 6. For tree work, be sure top of ladder is supported by a firm limb so ladder is stable. DONT'S 1.A ladder' is meant to carry only one person at a time. Do not overload. 2. Never stand on top of a step ladder. 3. Don't climb a ladder when shoes are covered with snow, mud or grease. 4. Test -loading may result in damage to side -rails, so do not test ladders. 5. Never use in a horizontal po- sition. Extension and single ladders are not designed for such loads. Hairy Stuff! Is the increased tempo of civilization and the consequent necessity for quicker thinking responsible for men going .bald sooner than they did, say, a cen- tury ago? American scientists recently put out a theory to this effect, but in West Germany, at least, there does not seem much evi- dence to support their hypo thesis. A survey just completed here reveals that only one Ger- man in 100 has no hair on his _ head. Other interesting facts glean- ed by the inquiry are that every second German has blond hair; every fourth has brovrn or dark hair; grey dr white-haired people also number one in four, Only one percent of the popu- lation 'has red hair, while six in every hundred are light blond; seventeen are medium blond; twenty-four a darker blond; fourteen brown; thirteen black; nineteen grey; and five white haired, "Blond" eat, of tours°, also be spelt with an "0" in these instances. Flee per tent of German Wo- men and sire per cent of German men apparently begin to go grey before they reach their 50th year, Wonder -Working Add One of the miracles of mod- ern chemistry is the usefulness of sulphuric acid, In some way or another„it has hada hand in producing almost ' every single thing we use every single day. Did you know that each person in Canada uses about a a hundred pounds of sulphuric acid in a year? Not in its pure form, of course. Like so many chemicals, it al- most never appears as a con- sumer product. Instead, it is used with othbt products to pro- duce new materials, things like synthetic detergents, steel for automobiles, rayon for clothing. The kitchen refrigerator is just about the last place you would expect to And a corrosive 'acid. But the frig. itself wouldn't be there without it. Sulphuric is widely used for cleaning the steel before the white coating is put on and for making the fertilizer which helped grow the food inside, Even the milk we drink has been tested with sulphuric add to determine its butterfat con- tent. In clothing, every pound of rayon consumes its quota of sul- phuric acid. And we'd be a pretty drab -looking lot without chemical dyes, which again are dependent on this acid for their manufacture. It is important in paper making, in manufactur- ing colors for paints, in refining glues, in tanning leather and making the alum used to clarify drinking water. But by far the greatest work of this powerful acid is in pro- ducing the food we eat. Hardly a food product is grown today without the help of fertilizers and the fertilizer industry is by far the largest user of sulphuric acid. More than half the sul- phuric made in Canada today goes into the manufacture of .good for the crops of this coun- try and of many foreign lands, Why Bays Leave Herne Lack of opportunity is the generally accepted answer tor a small con#munity. 11 is a very easy assumption for young men to make about the place where they have grown up. Yet that same community in all' probability has small or not - so -small- industries and Matinee ses needing young blood, new talent, and additional techni- cally trained personnel. Where do they go to find it? Very likely to the nig city, the big organization, the big education- al institution, feeling that these are the magnets drawing in all the likely material. But the results are not neces- sarily satisfactory. They may get only the less desirable or -maladjusted persons. By the same taken, the boy may only find in the big city and the big company frustration and `!compartmentation.” Un- doubtedly opportunities exist, but it may take him a long time to find them. Local enterprises could well scour their communities for good recruits, just as the biggest corporations comb the engineer- ing schools for likely young- sters. They could invite these prospective recruits to try their hand at various plant opera- tions: They could invite suggest tions for improving existing methods and products and for developing new items. Opportunity, as well as chari- ty, begins at home. -- Western Industry, ETERNAL TRIANGLE An eighteen -year-old girl was kidnapped by a married woman and two other women and given a sound thrashing for dating the woman's husband. Betty Jean Perry told the judge in Smith- field, U.S., that Mrs. Ray Lynch, aged 35, andtwo other women lured her from college, took her to an isolated spot and thrashed her because she had been to the pictures with Mrs. Lynch's hus- band. The three women were each fined $1,000 and if they can't pay they must serve from three to five years in prison for kid- napping.
