poI11, Solomon might have said if
he had Lived a couple of thousand
years later, "there is no end." And
although the pollsters got a severe
black eye when they mis-guessed
the result of the last Presidential
election by as far as a strong boy
can throw a rock, they seem to
have done a comeback. At all events,
they're still carrying on
The results of the latest of these
polis that I've come across are
rather interesting to farm folks,
and especiaily to farm women.
We've all dreamed of what we
would do first if we came into even
n modest stun of money unexpected-
ly; and the question put to hundreds
of representative farm women was
baser' on the following case. Some
two years ago a farmer's wife had
the chance of either taking a trip to
Europe or doing a remodelling job
on her kitchen.
The European tour, she figured,
~could be interesting and education-
al. On the other hand, a remodelled
kitchen would be enjoyed by the
whole family. So the money went
Into the kitchen.
t 5 * *
So the question was: 1f you had
the money, which would you rather ,
have, a model kitchen, a trip to
Europe, a car of your own, or a
vacation with your family. And 40
per cent of all the women inter-
viewed said they would choose the
modern kitchen.
'rhe younger women 'those in
the age group from 20 to 34 years)
had the highest percentage for this
choice. Forty-seven per cent said
they would rather have a modern
kitchen. Only 22 per cent of the
older women indicated this choice.
* q *
Rut of all the women interviewed
54 per cent of those who lived
on rented farms put the modern
Mehra as their first choice.
* * 5
While it was the younger 'tvwn-
en who lived on rented farms who
'wanted modern kitchens, it was
the older women and those who
lived nn their own farms who
would choose the. trip to Europe.
* * *
Nin; per rent of all the women
said they ;.null choose a Esire•
peal tour.
* *
When the figures were broken
down into age groups, they found
that 17 per cent of the women over
50 chose the trip. Though one of the
younger farm women said rather
wistfully, "I' would enjoy a trip
fio Europe. It would be nice now
and give me something to think
Oxon when I'm old."
* • *
Only 5 per cent of the younger
women Ivould choose a trip to
Europe,
"It would be wonderful to have a
ear any time I want it" said an-
other woman. And she expressed
the choice of 9 per cent of the farm
women interviewed.
Eleven per cent of the younger
women would like to have a car
of their own. Seven per cent of
the middle-aged group and 5 per
cent of the older women indicated
the same choice.
• * * .,
"With a whole family bickering
over the car, I think I'd like to have
a car of lily own, even if it were
only a jalopy," said one of those
interviewed. Then she added, rue-
fully, "At that, I'll bet somebody
else would be driving it every time
I wanted it." * *
A vacation with the whole family�
when the children are little and a
vacation with the family when they
are older are two different things.
* * *
Thirty-three per cent of all the
women interviewed wanted a vaca-
tion with their families. Twenty-
nine per cent of the younger women,
34 per cent of the middle-aged
group and 39 per cent of the older
women made the same choice.
5 A, 5
But one of the younger women,
the mother of four small children,
said: "I'm not kidding myself that
a trip with the children is a vaca-
tion. It's a change of scenery."
* * *
Another woman in the sante age
group said: "If 1 had the money for
a vacation, it would be a vacation
' just to get away from the family
for a little while."
BULL—NOT STAG PARTY
Three hundred persons turned up
at a swank party in a tent in
England recently to toast the guest
of honour—a bull.
It was the 11th birthday of
Vern Robert, one of the finest
Herefords ever hied.
Eleven candles burned on his
birthday cake—made from cattle
cake, flaked maize and bran' --with
"Many Happy Returns" in reel her-,
ries.

One of the gags with which they
used to wow the customers bacic
in the palely days of vaudeville was
when the comic of a two -than team
would seriously declare that his fav-
orite food was hash — because he
always knew what he was eating.
His 'straight' partner would indig-
nantly demand "How in blazes do
you know what you're eating?"
whereupon the comic would reply,
"I know I'm eating hash!" Yak ---

this column turns out to resemble

Anyway, about the most pithy
comment we have heard regarding
current conditions care front a fri-
end of ours the other day. He had
just been reading a newspaper story
which stated that, because of war
preparations, the price of ale, beer,
ice cream sodas, soft drinks, gin,
milk, whiskey and a few other as-
sorted potables were likely to show
an increase in price.

"That guy Kipling surely knew
what he was talking about" said our
friend, "when he wrote 'When it

Just in passing, we fear that the
esteemed Toronto Globe and Mail
Sports Department must be slip-
ping. The September thorn follow-
ing the initial practice of the MA-
PLE LEAF HOCKEY TEAM
the Sports Page mentioned the
name of Conny Smythe a mere nine
times — "this being, as any close
follower of the sport can tell you,
ntuclt below par for the course.

In the same connection, we might
say that if the Maple Leaf Hockey
Club's ballyhoo department doesn't
shortly dig up a new publicity stunt
to replace the one about Turlc Bro-
da's excess poundage, we dread the
consequences among the reading
public, We are second to none
in our admiration for Mr. Broda's
twine - guarding abilities — but as
a permanent replacement for Miss
America, Gipsy Rose Lee, Sally
Rand or any of the other strippers,
Turk just doesn't have it.

Arthur Daley tells a story, which
you may have heard before but
we hadn't, about Willie (Puddin-
head) Jones, third base guardian
for the Philadelphia Pbillies. This
was when Willie — as well as Man-
ager Eddie Sawyer — were laboring
in the 'Toronto baseball vineyard.
Jones had slumped very badly in
his hitting and although he never
said anything about what was wor-
rying him, Sawyer instinctively
knew and summoned Willie to his
office, "Willie," he said, "I've been
doing some thinking, I know your
wife is expecting a baby, so I was
wondering if you'd like to have her
here in Toronto — at the ball club's
expense?"
* *
Nits. Jones arrived and her care-
free husband began knocking the
leather off the ball in old - time
fashion. But just before the infant
was due he shipped his wife back to
dear old Carolina, "It's thisaway,
Skipper," Puddinhead explained
things to Sawyer. "I want to have.
Ivy son born back home, so that
some day, he'll he eligible to he-
rome President of the United Sta-
tes."
* * *
Well, if we were malting book,
we wouldn't want to be laying too
much money against the possibility
of Jones, junior, someday doing
that very thing. We don't know ex-
actly what the actual odds are aga-
inst any United States youngster

So it looks as if anything—posi-
tively anything — could happen in
baseball, And in politics too—for
Anthony Eden is just reported as
recently saying that if he were in
the British,Foreigit Office, he thinks
he could "make a "satisfactory deal
with Stalin." :Maybe Mr, Eden
would even turn his back while

Virgil Dreamed Of
Sugar From Trees
That a sweet syrup would em-
erge from forest trees was part of
Virgil's dream of the Golden Age.
At that time (around 40 B.C,)
honey of wild bees was the chief
means of sweetening and was pro-
bably the first sugar food used by
men. The care and cultivation of
bees for their honey has been
known at least for three thousand
years. With the ancients it was
almost their sole source of sugar....
The first historic mention of sugar
is found in China in the eighth cen-
tury B.C., where it is spoken of as
a product of India. The sugar cane
was native in Bengal and cultivated
there. After the fifth century B.C.
it was introduced to the Euphrates
valley and to China. Fellow travel-
lers of Alexander the Great who
invaded India in the fourth century
B.C. in search of glory and loot,
brought back tales of a reed that
produced honey without the aid of
bees. "Honey cane" it was called
originally, and Herodotus spoke of
sugar as "manufactured honey"
The Greeks and Romans called it
"sweet salt," "Indian sett," "sweet
gravel." In the Bible (Jeremiah
6:20) is mentioned a "sweet cane
from a far country."
Crystallized sugar was in evid-
ence about 1,300 years after the
first historical mention of sugar.
The Arabs and Egyptians were the
pioneers in crystallizing. In India
at the end of the thirteenth century
we first hear of evaporating the
cane juice, dissolving the residue
in water, and clarifying this solu-
tion with milk. They then solidified
their sugar into cakes or crystal-
lized it into candy. W. W. Sweats,
in tracing the history of sugar, says:
"It long continued to be regarded
as a rare and costly spice and it
remained so up to the time of the
discovery of America at the end of
the fifteenth century.
In the oldest books on arboreal
lore, maples were mentioned as
rarities in Europe, and there was
Ito reference to their sugar -yielding
sap. The "mapel-treow" was so
spelled by Chaucer in the fourteenth
century, and it is variously referred
to from then on in Middle English
literature as the mayple, the mapell
and the mapole. In 1588 Jean Lie-
bault, the French naturalist, wrote
of "baimes and Pyles" distilled from
trees, but never a word on maple.
John Gerade, author of The Her -
ball or General Historic of Plantes,
writes: "The great Maple is a
stranger in England. only it grow-
eth in the walkes and places of
pleasure of noble filen,' where it es-
pecially is planted for the shadowe
sake." In The Whole Art and Trade
of Husbandry, Barnabe (iooge
speaks of the "juyce" and the
"sappe" of many trees, but not of
the maple. Closer to our OWtt day,
Charles Sprague Sargent writes of
the maple in Europe: "The. Sugar
Maple, like the Hickories, the Whitt -
Oaks and other upland trees of
eastern America, does not flourish
in the Old World, and really tine
specimens, if they exist at all in
Europe, are extremely rare, al-
though 150 years have passed since
it was introduced, and at different
times considerable attention Inas
been given to its cultivation."
Maple sugar and syrup are ap-
parently, then, a specialized North
American product.—Front "The
Maple Sugar Book." by 11, len and
