Shriners Raise Funds For Crippled Kids Shriners from many Ontario points will convene in Toronto from October 2 to 7 to attend the world's largest professional indoor circus being held in Maple Leaf Gardens under the auspices of the Nobles of Rameses Shrine, as a fund - raising project for crippled, needy and under - privileged child- ren. It will nark the 18th consecutive year that the Shriners of Toronto have brought Col. Bob Morton's big three - ring circus to the Ont- ario Capitol with the entire pro- ceeds being in aid of the crippled children and benevolent fund for the Shriners. This year the Shrine circus pro- mises to be bigger and better than ever with a variety of new and breath - taking acts. Features of the big indoor show include the Triska troupe, a sensational high - wire act recently arrived on this continent from Europe, the Rudy Rudynoff trio and their trained stal- lions and Roland Tiebor's trained seals, This annual circus is only part of an extensive program carried on by the Shriners to help crip- pled and under - privileged child- ren, From this and other activities the Shriners operate and maintain 16 hospitals on the North Ameri- can continent, one of these being located in Winnipeg and another in Montreal. ' Any crippled youngster under 14 years of age, regardless of race, chlor or creed is eligible for admis- sion to these Shrine hospitals, More than 120,000 crippled and handicapped children have received medical care and treatment in' the various Shrine hospitals on this continent Hundreds of crippled youngsters from various parts of Ontario • have been provided hospital care and medical treatment by the Shriners in this Province. Getting ready for the Shriners big three-ring circus in Maple Leaf Gardens are left to right, Jack C. Ramsden, W. Reg Shaw, Dr. Eugene Montgomery and 8 year old Dave Street. THE COMMUNIST method is rough and it ruthlessly tramples under foot all individual rights. But it is effective and arouses the feeling that some of our' own hoarders should be treated sim- ilarly. -Waterloo Courier, CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS DOWN 1, Lumborman'e halt boot ij 4, Exhibits P.

As far as answer elsew tare on this page, Miracle Plant Of The Chinese In war - ravaged South Korea grows a plant which many millions of poor Chinese peasants regard as magical. it is called GINSENG, meaning "image of ratan," because its fork -shaped root gives it an appearance of a hutnan being in miniature. Throughout China it is regarded as a remedy for attnost all diseases, though British and American doctors who have analysed it and tested its effect on Westerners, re- port that it is merely a mild stimul- ant. Not so Chinese doctors. They swear by it as an infallible cure for exhaustion of body and mind. They say it postpones death and Ira, the most enduring building power of almost any tonic known. It is the root of the ginseng plant which is said to contain these des- irable properties. This root is about three inches long with wrin- kles running round it. Dried over a charcoal fire, tea is brewed with. it - expensive tea, for the cost of ginseng is as high as $500 an ounce. Before the invasion of China by the. Communists, the United Sta- tes exported a million dollars' wor- th of ginseng to that country every year, but this American - grown ginseng Is considered a poor sub- stitute for the Korean variety. Its stimulating properties have been known to the Chinese people r °svotdo1 .r.c P. Cl ,e Sunshine . , . that's the big local news as' I 'wrife; ' Sulhslhihie, after a week -with rain, fog and cloudy skies on every blessed day. Wash? Not I ..,not after having sheets and other heavy things hanging on the line for three whale days the week before. Butt now that tate sun is shining the good old washing machine is due to see • action once again - it will therefore be quite unnecessary for anyone to send in the sanitary authorities yet awhile, although, come to think of it, a little air -wick would not come amiss as the kitchen atmosphere is heavy with the combined odour of pickles, pears, peaches and elderberries. Sunday afternoon Daughter and I went for a drive up "the mountain" -with a couple of baskets in the car in case we might see some- thing that was worth bringing home. And we did. In just one spot we found elderberries such as we had never seen before. In ten minutes we each had a basket right full of black, luscious berries. Any- body like a piece of nice, fresh elderberry pie ... or maybe a jar of jelly? Funny thing, In the Old Country there were elderberries ga- lore but I never heard of them be- ing used for anything other than wine. Well, I don't know how to make wine so I guess my family will have to be -content with pies and jellies. Once our baskets were full we were soon on our way again -right to the top of the moutntain. And what a view At least Daughter said it was - I was far too busy looking after the car to watch the scenery. The road twisted and tur- ned like a snake in the act of un- coiling itself, and then, before we knew it, we were on a different road, and conning down the mount- ain - a road entirely new to me, Mayfie I wouldn't have been on it at all had I known how steep it was. You can be quite sure I was driving at practically a snail's pace ' not knowing what might be waiting for us round the next bend - and not liking the sharp descent any too well, One bend that went around a jutting wall of rock was almost at a tight angle, and I had visions of what might happen if one lost control of the earl Too bad some of the loveliest drives in this, and other counties, are on such haz- ardous roads. Eventually we carne to the nnain road again and stopped to visit a young married couple whom we knew, They have a lovely little place - two or three acres of or- chard and a nice six - roomed house with a grand view of the surround- ing country-. Neither the young fellow nor his wife is afraid of work and in the short time they have been there they have done a stream - lined job in the kitchen, not in a pressure water system and built as nice and compact a bath- room, complete with linen closet, as I have ever seen. Their children are happy, healthy, active young- sters. The father has a job in an industrial plant about five miles for centuries. A cup of ginseng tea given to a Chinese on his death- bed is considered the finest tribute one can pay hint. Ginseng - hunters, unmindful of tigers and bandits, go deep into the forest in search of the wild root, one four -inch piece of which will bring a small fortune. Said one Chinese doctor, an- swering 'Western scientists who say there is nothing miraculous about the plant: "It would per- haps be worth - wlhile for the Wes- tern medical profession to ascer- tain ginseng's effect on the Chin- ese in China rather than on West- erners. Chinese seemed" to be more- ' receptive to ginseng's qualities," Ginseng is regarded as a very elixir of life in other countries be- side China. The Japanese value it greatly, and it is taken as a powder or a decoction in Iran, Af- ghanistan, and India. • WEIGHTY PROBLEM Like a bad penny an old 800 - pound safe is the bugbear of Hall, Richard & Sons, coal dealers in Victoria, British Columbia. It just keeps turning up, Trying to get rid of the safe several years ago, the firm left it on a vacant lot, ICiudly citizens returned it The coal dealers buried the safe on the same spot -hoping to see the last of it, But a bulldozer recently unearthed it while work-, ing on an excavation for a build• ing in the empty lot. Detectives hunted up the rnvnrrs to return it. A partner of the firm sale!: "it is going to the junk pile ---I hope for (keeps." from Monte and most of his fellow - workers seem to be satisfied with !homes in a part of town that leaves much to be desired. Why is it? I venture to say it is as much a shat- ter of temperament as circumstan- ces that is a deciding factor in where people make their hone. When good roads nialke transpor- tation so easy it is hard to under- stand why more young folk do not buy or build in the country. True, some of them have realised that to do so is a smart idea but there is room in the country for plenty more. If more people moved to the country on small lots it would certainly help to relieve the hous- ing congestion in nearby cites and towns. My goodness I had nearly for- gotten to inention our Honey! She came with us on our trip and when we stopped to visit we left Honey in the car. We can do that any time. Even with all the windows down Honey will never make any attempt to leave the car - but she can certainly do some growlling if strangers come around while she is alone. So we went up to the house, and when we got inside there was Honey - at least we thought it was. A second glance and we knew that it was not Iion- ey but her double - same size, same colour, but a different. shape face and a different sex. Now yon would think a little dog would love to have a talk with one of her own kind. But not Honey, She was jealous of the other dog and jealous of the attention we gave the children and would not leave us at all. Dogs can be so frightful- ly jealous - and intelligent, Honey always knows when the weekend comes. She always goes upstairs on Sunday mornings to see if any- one arrived during the night. I can imagine her thinking to herself -- "You never can tell because some of these young folk keep awful hours - especially on Saturday nights!"
