HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1962-08-02, Page 3New Version Of Mad Monk's IDea'h A Siberian -born peasant turn- ed monk, Gz•igori Efimovich Ras- putin first gained notoriety by parlaying Orthodox communions iltto orgies, He swilled down huge quantities of liquor, drank soup by slurping it off his ditty fing- ers, and always smelled like a goat, Yet from 3.906 to 1910 the "Mad Monk" was the close confi- dant and trusted adviser to Im- perial Russia's ruling family of Roreanoffs, Dozens of court la- dies adored him. "You think I ane defiling you," he told them, "but I am purifying you." He also claimed to have mystic healing powers, Just how much "purification" and healing Rasputin . accom- plished is doubtful but his in- fluence was far-reaching, often terrifying, Frantically worried because her fifth - born, the Czarevich Alexis, had hemo- philia, Czarina Alexandra ap- pealed to Raaputin for help. He comforted her and in time gain- ed the confidence of the czar, and the enmity of the court. Inevitably he was marked for assassination. The lure in the plot that finally did the Mad Monk In was Irina, the beautiful wile • of young Prince Yusupov, Told that Irina would be present, Rasputin attended a midnight meal in a cellar chamber of the Prince's palace. As a phono- graph upstairs played "Yankee Doodle," Rasputin was poisoned. But he did not die immediately and exactly what happened aft- er that has often been confused in both history and legend. Last month, in private papers found ten years after the death of a British guards officer, a new account of Rasputin's death scene was made public in_Edin- burgh's The Scotsman. The offi- cer, Capt, T. Y, Benyon, had nerved with the White Russian Army and wrote that he had the story firsthand from Prince Alexiaff, heretofore unknown among the Princes who were present with Yusupov. Previous accounts had Raspu- tin reelln:g from poison but re- coveringenough to nearly choke Yusupov to death, then crawling sap a flight of stairs before more pistol shots ended his lido. Captain Benyon's footnote to history set the same scene but detailed different action. Raspu- tin did drink poisoned coffee but it only made him dizzy. Then one of the princes tried to shoot hirci through the head—but the gun misfired. Aiexioff then tried to stab him but Rasputin was wearing a shirt of . mail and the dagger was deflected. "This all took place within the Apace of about five minutes," 1$eryon wrote, "and by this time the Princes were full of supersti- tious fear and convinced that the Oran was possessed by the devil and bore a charmed life, "Alexioff again managed to get within striking range; he seized a silver candlestick and.brought ill down with a crash on his Dread .. ,"• The plan then had been to dump Rasputin'sbody in the Neva River, but the river was frozen over, While the Princes were wondering what to do, some pea,sants arrived on bhe scene. Told that this was Rasputin, they out a hole in the ice. Then Princes and peasants together ahoved the body into the water. Policeman: "How did you knock him down?" Motorist: "I didn't. I pulled up to let him go across and he fainted!" sem UNRULY — Gale force winds in London played havoc with the long hair-like plume on the helmet of this Royal Horse Guard Plume is really a mess and, which is more,. he "can't do a thing with it," How They Picket The U.S. White House To picket the White House just wear a pair of comfortable shoes and pick a pleasant 'day. That is advisable, though not required. Actually picketing the White House is as easy as walking to work, ,and more interesting to many, Hundreds, even thousands of people have picketed the White House in recent months. One man was recently muoh noted for picketing the White House in the morning and dining there the same night. That was Dr. Linus Pauling, Nobel Prize-win- ner, who marched along Penn- sylvania Avenue in protest against United States nuclear testing and later partook of pre- sidential hospitality along with other Nobel Prize -winners, While picketing the White House is oen of t h e freedoms which may be exercised at will, there are certain minor restric- tions. You may not sing even if you feel like it, or chant if you want to. You may not pray out loud, carry objectionable signs or block the traffic. You must keep moving. A North Carolina minister who sought to register his pro- test against t h e imprisan4'nent of Mr. and Mrs. Morton Sobel, convicted atom spies, by pray- ing for them in front of the White House "g o t locked up three times," a member of the Metropolitan District Police re- calls. Probably the only million- aire's wife ever to picket the White H o u s e was Mrs. • Cyrus Eaton. She, alongwith other members of Women's Strike •for Peace, vowed they would stay on the job until the President granted them an audience, He didn't, and they finally' quit. But the President is not un- mindful: of these patrols. When some 5,000 students from vari- ous parts of the country con- verged on Washington last Feb- ruary for a mass protest against resumption of nuclear testing, President Kennedy dispensed White House hospitality to the EXODUS — Refugees by the 'boatload arrive at Marseilles, France, from Secret Army Organization -terrorized Algeria.: picketem In the form 01 hot cof- fee. This revolving traffic does not go unnoticed by young Caroline, Mrs. Kennedy told Dr. Pauling that Caroline asks whenever picketers appear: "What has daddy done now?" President Eisenhower had an opportunity to pat a stop to this type of thing, but refused to do so. He vetoed a bill which would have banned picketing in front of the White Rause, claim- ing that in his opinion to do so would curtail the right to peti- tion, However, . that right may be postponed, now and then when the President is entertain- ing a foreign dignitary, such as en ambassador or head of state, On those occasions, the whole deal is off, Some 500 feet off, that is. There is a strictly en - f or c e d regulation forbidding picketing within that many feet of an embassy or any other place where a foreign VIP may be visiting. That includes the White House, and the Blair House across the street, when such a dignitary is in residence. At the rate foreign visitors are arriving, it is a good idea to check on who is in town, and where, before you attempt to picket, writes JosephIne'Rip- ley in the Christian Science Monitor. Another thing, don't .. take it for granted just because it is okay to picket in front of the' White House, you can. do any ring -around -the -rosy. Try swing- ing around • to East Executive Avenue, on the side between the White House and the Treasury and you will do the twist, back where you came from, East Executive Avenue — al- though you cannot toll by look- ing at it — is not the same kind of a street that Pennsylvania Avenue is, under the supervi- sion of the city police. It is with- in ithin the National Capital Parks System and under the park po- lice. They are rather sticky about picketing and this White House side street is off bounds, as some young demonstrators learned the other day. Members of a band of paci- fists who had arrived here to demonstrate for peace, they de- cided to assemble on East Exe- cutive Avenue and march to meet t h e i r comrades on the Washington Monument grounds. They got into double trouble. They were not only on property which is barred to parades, pub- lic gatherings, or demonstra- tions but showed up just when a foreign dignitary was visiting in the White House. Park policemen forbadethem to walk down the street with their signs. Said one of the demonstrators: "I feel I have a right towalk down that street with a picket sign. It's public property." Said another: "I think it's im- portant that we challenge this regulation." So they did, and sat down on the sidewalk — until they were hustled off to court. They were found not guilty in a curious decision. The judge ruled that the demonstrators hadwanted to move south down the street to rendezvous with other picketers, but had been prevented from doing so, Park police, particularly those who prevented them from doing .so,. are puzzled. Still, picketing the White House is 'really very simple once you know the rules. Tips On How To Care For Your Car Chrome trim on a car can be cleaned with fine steel wool. then protected with a coat of wax. ,•, To remove tar spots or sap which sometimes falls on cars from trees, use a mild solvent • touch as varsol. O f 0 Paste wax can be more easily applied to a car if the cloth you are using is slightly wet. O z, e When washing a car, the door hinge area should not be neglect- ed. Dirt collects here and dirt holds moisture which may cause rusting. o „ IIaving a dent in a car repaired isn't just a matter of appearance if neglected, rust may set in. A small repair now may prevent a major job a year from now. O u e A car is a big investment and when it needs refinishing the work should be entrusted to e refinisher with a reputation for good work. It is possible to do repairs in a slipshod manner which will look fine for only a few weeks, * When washing a car, never •turn a hose against the windows. Water may run down between the glass and the door frame to the inside of the door where it can cause rust. Instead, use a sponge and no more water than necessary, Use a mild detergent no more than one tablespoon hi a pail of water. The oar need not be rinsed , .. merely wiped with a chamois. ar CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING BOATS CATAMARANS DEMONSTRATORS AND 'TRADE.IN Outboarda Volvo Qutdrives Bargains 17' Cat as Low as 51 300 AERO MARINE INDUS'T'RIES urn. 21 Walker St, Oakville.

Tough Problem For The Map Makers Every country that tackled a national mapping program ran into trouble, but none oe them had as many problems to solve as Switzerland, an up and down country. And because she was able to solve her mapping prob- lems, Switzerland made a most important contribution to t h e science of map making, by show- ing the world how to draw mountains and valleys on a ma.p. An ordinary map of Switzer- land meant nothing to the pet)- pie who lived there or anyone else. Distances from place to place could be figured out In terms of latitude and longitude, the way the crow flies, but that is not the way people travel in Switzerland. Around every turn in the road they go up or they go down. Whether they are walking or riding ' they go up and down more than they go ahead. For this reason Switzer- land, one of the most beautiful countries in the world, present- ed a challenge to artists, map makers a n d surveyors, and a problem that was hard to solve. The first man who tried to make a map of the country gave it up as a bad job. Ile filled his drawing with pretty pictures of castles, monasteries, churctles and other prominent buildings. Then, in order to tell his readers something about the topogra- phy of the country, he drew long chains of lumps or mole- hills that were supposed to re- present hills and mountains. Other map makers tried to make a good map of the country, but most of them failed. A sensible and accurate map of Switzerland spelled trouble for surveyors as well as map makers. It meant inventing some way of showing artistically and clearly the high mountains and deep valleys that cover the entire country. Therefore, it is no wonder that it took so many years for Switzerland to pro- duce her first national map. The first accurate map of Switzerland was begun in 1830, under the direction of General Dufour, and after twelve years of hard work the first sheet was printed and published, Thirty- four years later the whole map was finished. It was different from any map the world had ever seen. It was accurate, so far as latitudes and longitudes were concerned, but more than that it was artistic. Dufour and his men tried to show the country as it really was, with all its mountains and valleys. And he did it by shad- ing the colours he used, and with contour lines, wavy lines that told people whether they were looking at a mountain 15,- 000 feet high or the flat land at the bottom of a valley. His map was as close as he could come to a photographic picture of the eountry, and it told the story. He showed other map makers how colour could be used to in- dicate whether the 1 an d was high or low, and how contour lines with. numbers on t h e m eottld be used to tell just how high the mountain was. The completed map of Swit- zerland covered more than five hunched sheets. Looking at any one of these sheets, the reader has the feeling that he is look- ing down on the country from an airplane. — From "Map Mak- ing --- the Art That Became a Science," by Lloyd A.
