one."
HOW UNFAIR!

Sky White With
Wings
'Whatever the geography hunks
.a), an island is not always "a
small body of land surroundc,l by.
water." At several points along
the southern sea -riot of I-ouisiana,
great subterranean deposits of salt
were forced upward, in bygone
ages, by the terrific pressures of
geologic deposits above them. And
wherever this occurred, the upward
gush of salt lifted some surface
soil above the surrounding marsh-
land to forst isolated knolls of high
ground. One of these caste into
the possession of the Avery family
more than a century ago, and that
is Avery island, whose salt mine,
pepper sauce factory, oil fields, -
jungle gardens, -bamboo groves and
bird sanctuary have given it world-
wide renown,
In 1898, young Ned islellheuny,
recently returned from the Arctic,
went out into the swamps and
marshes, surrounding Avery island.
By dint of arduous searching, day
after day, he finally managed to
capture seven snowy egrets alive.
Over the lake that is now Bird
City a big flying -cage of wire was
built.
The seven snowy egrets in the
flying cage were well fed with
shrimp and minnows, Three pairs
of birds set up housekeeping in
the cage with one frustrated hache-
lor-or spinster -as envious audi-
ence. Three broods of young were
reared in capitivity. Then came
the great experiment. The cage
that hemmed them in was destroy-
ed in early November and the
released herons took wing. But the
following spring they and a num-
ber of others returned to Avery
Island. And each spring thereafter
their numbers increased. Other
birds share the colony with the
snowy egrets. Occasionally an
egret's hospitality is abused and
then resentment flares into angry
action. For instance, when an out-
lier invades a mother egret's nest,
she defends it as best she can,
while her mate flies to her rescue
and their friends give a general
alarm. Presently, the sky is white
with wings. The outlier is ousted,
the startled parents soothed, and
the egrets drop swiftly to their
own nests. Then the sun goes
down and Bird City is hushed for
the night. -From "All This Is
Louisiana," by Frances Parkinson
Keyes.
Digestible: Wood
Scientists at General Electric's
Research Laboratory with bacteri-
ology professors at tloe Slate have
found a method 'of making sawdust
digestible in a cow's stomach. the
sawdust is irradiated with high-
voltage electrons or cathode rays.
Sawdust or wood is largely a com-
bination of cellulose and lignin. But
the lignin makes the combination
indigestible. Su.phuric acid and ir-
radiation get rid of the ,lignin. It
remains to be seen whether irra-
diated sawdust is less expensive
than hay -and whether the cows
like it.

Much to our regret we did not
see Princess Elizabeth and the
Duke of Edinburgh. But we fol-
lower their by radii -until we got
too annoyed to listen, Not with the
Royal visitors, bless their tired,
patient and forgiving hearts -but
with the officialdom for its flagrant
disregardof e expressed thtressed wishes
�l
of the j:oung couple for a visit "with
as little formality as possible"
'l.'ltink for a minute. Here is a
young girl who, 'tw'ice during the
last few years, has become a moth-
er. Add to that the straits of the
King's illness- and possibly the
unspoken fear that all too soon she
might be called upon to tutee over
the responsibilities of a sovereign
state. '!'Leu conies this tour of
th, Dominion -incongruously des-
cribe' as "a holiday in Canada"!

ed very tared 00 Saturday. Dirt 1

tired her. nor meeting the patients

Ea't'on on Sunday there was no let-
up -no frrivacy, even at church, I
don't this any of us are so curious
that we need quite "0 many intimate
detail,
Prince Philip has certainly won
great popularity for himself. We
were glad to hear his splendid ad-
dress to the -Board of 'Oracle anti
to know the care he is , takin a of
his princess wife,
And now to change the- sulsj,e',
T have always wanted to go to the
International Ploughing Isfatclt-
altd last Friday I did just that, I
enjoyed the atmosphere of the
event. Everyone was friendly, there
was not too touch noise, no mid-
way, no clutter, and yott didn't feel
pushed around, There was plenty
of commercial advertising, but it
was the real thing -not just some-
thing to catch the eye. Exhibits
were constructive attempts to keep
fanners up-to-date with modern ma-
chinery, As a contrast there was an
old threshing machine driven by
a steam engine -and both were do-
ing a good job, As the sheaves
were fed into the machine it was
one man's job to cut the bands, .la"+"or
regular field threshing it would take
sixteen men to keep the machine
going. I was wishing Partner had
been there to see it but he has been
to the ploughing match other years
and it stakes less rush if one of us
stays at home.
A number of trucks and tractor -
trailers were taking people on a
tour of inspection of the entire
grounds. I got aboard one of them
and had my rough ride along with
the rest. All the ploughing looked
so nice I was glad I didn't have to
decide which was the best. The
farm pond was interesting ...
feet deep and. by means of a force
pump, was the main supply for an
extensive irrigation system.
The fiire-fighting demonstration
was splendid. Firemen poured ker-
osene on to a shallow pond and then
her was
set fire o it. Immediately t e
t
a Inge volume of smoke with an-
gry flames licking their way sky-
ward. Two firemen stood by, hose
in 'hand. Just as you begin to feel
scared in case the fire might really
get away the mess went to work
with their Inose. In a little while the
fire was completely extinguished. I
imagine it wasn't More than three
minutes.
Of course 1 found the "Tented
City" quite an attraction. I left
my coat for the Family Herald to
look after but I was disappointed
none of the editors were on hand
to meet the Public. In the W.I.
tent Mrs. 'Thomas Myers, Zurich,
and Mrs. J. H, McCulloch, Bramp-
ton, were kept busy talking to inter-
ested visitors and serving tea. Inci-
dentally there were several attrac-
tive rest rooms serving tea free
of charge.
For years I have heard of the
wonderfui job of catering done by
two separate church organizations
n very far from here. So I set
out to investigate. Wonderful is an
understatement -I would call it a
stupendous undertaking. In one
tent 1 knew quite a few of the mets
and women in charge -and more of
then renew me through this col-
umn. Many of them looked tired -
quite a few were far from young-
but they were all in good spirits.
Imagine taking truck loads of ne-
cessary equipment over 80 miles -
tables, stoves, benches, cots and
bedding -to say nothing of the food
and baking necessary to feed a con-
stant stream of hungry diners.
Imagine the work at Home prepar-
ing for the event, And then leav-
ing home; being on your feet for
four days; worlcing without accus-
tomed conveniences; sleeping away
from your own bed and taking a
chance on the weather, But I am
glad to say it wasn't all left to the
women, The mets were helping too
-1n fact one matt -a six -footer -
looked featly cute, waiting on the
tables with a pretty little red and
white apron tient around his waist!
Young Couple Make Pottery -Glaze
By Novel Use Of Chemicals
California abounds in c"afunists,
some nationally known, many
amateurs and hobbyists, but it is
safe to say that Jane and Jack
Brinker of San Francisco are the
only newcomers in the field whose
pottery is so different that it
actually is made "backwards,"
The Drinkers, young and attrac-
tive ex -II ollywoodians (they work-
ed behind, tot before, the cameras),
left the cinema world for the cern'
mics world only two and one-half
years ago. They are now turning
out unusually glazed vases, lamp
bases, plant holders, decorative
platters, tiles, and magnesite table
tops which do not require kilts -fir-
ing. Their heatless pottery is hard-
ened and glazed by a chemical pro-
cess whirls has never been patented
and is known to only a few stu-
dents of the artist who taught the
San Francisco couple.
Their tutor was the late Henry
Albrigl't of Glenniont, New York,
a friend of Tack's father, ifr. Al-
bright's portrait of Grover Cleve-
land is in the White House, he
made the bronze plaques on the
"Freedom 'Train," and his work is
in other national institutions.
Chemical Hardened Clay
At his eastern studio, he devel-
oped the chemical process of 1 ard-
ening clay and glaze, but never
did anything with it commercially
because it takes more bine titan
fired pottery, Each piece must he
fashioned by hand, not thrown at
a wheel or cast as slip in a mold.
In the ibaseiaent of their home,
Jane and Jack have worked every
hour not needed for sleep and
meats to perfect their product and
develop new marketing possibilities
for it, L'ntil recent months when
an agent took over their business
contracts. they preferred to stay
home and work, rather than go
around to buyers.
Consequently they've had a ra-
ther lean time of it financially, for
they started with no capital. But
now they know what they can do,
and it's beginning to make buyers
look twice. .
In comprehending how this fire-
less pottery is made, one must
reverse every step in the usual
ceramics manufacture. First the
Brinkers scour all types of printing
and paint suppliers for their dry
pigment with which they mix
glazes.
They use simple tools such as a
the size of a lamp or vase sides,
•or in irregular pieces to carve over
a shallow bowl, and the glaze is
crackled by hand. The glaze strips
are placed next to the mold, the
color facing the mold. Then the
chemicalized clay is modeled onto
the glaze, and the entire piece is
sealed with clay along the seams.
They use simple tool such as a
flat baby spoon on a long handle
or flexible ten -cent -store knives.
Little Boy Blow -Rehearsing for
a sidewalk Symphony Concert
to be staged by youngsters at
t h e Williamsburg Settlement
House, is nine-year-old Charles
Liotta. The event for which the
youngster is getting in some
heavy lung exercise is the '
launching of a drive for music
school funcls.
A typical ceramic piece is hard
enough to remove from the 1110111 in
eight to fifteen hours, but must
set for two weeks before the chent-
icalizatlon has knit together and
completely hardened the clay and,
glaze,
"Our things are as durable in
normal usage as fired pottery,°
they explain, "but over a long
period - say 100 years of being
buried in the earth -ours tvoiild
not hold together as perfectly as
vitrified china. Our dishes can't be
used for cooking, and because of
the joined pieces of glaze they are
not practical for dinner ware, either.
Our platters are for hors d'oeuvres
and bullet uses."
The Brinket'e are primarily inter-
ested in the decorative values of
their ware, and they have made
several designs for coffee table tops.
In such large objects, they apply
the glaze in hundreds of separate
piece, like a jigsaw puzzle.
The pieces may be fitted closely
in an intricate, jewel-like pattern,
or they may be outlined bodly in
the Florentine "intarsia" method.
Pieces done in this manner have
the effect of mosaic.
Also. in the decorative line, they
look -forward to malting fireplace
tiles or an entire wall in ceramic
design, Jack is working out a way
of painting on the glaze with a
brush, so that a tile mural may
be achieved, almost as directly as
mural painting. His first experi-
ment, a gaily -colored clsown por-
trait which looks at first glance
like a tempera painting, hangs over
the fireplace.

RELIEF iS LASTING
For fast, prolonged relief front

prescription -like tablet contains not
just one, but three proven medical
ingredients that ease the pain fast.
And the relief is, in most cases, lasting.
Try INSTANTINE just once for pain
relief and you'll say as thousands do
that there's one thing for headache
. it's INSTANTINE(
And try INSTANTINE for other
aches, too ... for neuritic or neuralgic
pain ... or for the pains and aches
that accompany a cold. A single tablet
usually brings
prompt relief.
