GINGER FARM
y. Gwendoline P. Clarke
Sometmies you wonder at the
cruel tricks: that Fate; can play.
And we certainly wondered tine
morning:' In fact the whole neigh-
borhood was shocked when it woke
up to find a big bank barn near
her; with practically all its con-
tents burnt to the ground. Also
burnt were about a dozen cows and
heifers,some pigs and over three
hundred hens. In other words not
only did the farmer suffer the loss
of his barn and livestock but also
the source u ce of his weekly income.
The ;city of it is, the farmer in
question was a young war veteran
who served with distinction in the
R.C.A.F. The war being over he,
with his young wife and baby, set-
tled down to what showed every
promise of being -a successful ca-
reer as a farmer. And now this.
Can you .imagine the sheer ter-
ror of getting up in the morning
to find your barn a blazing in-
ferno! For that is what happened
in this case. No one knows how
the fire started—the young farm
er got up to begin his day's work
—and there was the fire. The loss
is all the more unfortunate when
equipment and building materials
are so hard to get -and at such a
price.
* * *
That all-important subject of
price brings us around again to the
latest price increases—soap, tex-
tiles, leather goods, fats and oils.
When the price increases were
first announced I just about saw
red—especially when' Mayor Saun-
ders, of Toronto, announced his de-
termination to keep the price of
milk down, if at all possible. I won-
der if he knows that the farm
population, as well as urban, has
to pay alt those other increases
too. An.l we need something to pay
with.
Well, after a while I began to
cool off and I finally came to the
conclusion that possibly the up-
swing in prices might result in a
levelling off period, and also bring
about a possible reduction in the
spending money of the young fry,
which would certainly be for their
ultimate good. .
w
* e
Imagine this: A friend of mine
who often stops in at a tearoom
told me that time after time the
has seen high school youngsters
come in after school, order a
"coke", sandwiches or sundae —
possibly all three—and spend any-
where from fifteen to forty-five
cents each) Surely it isn't reason-
able that teen-agers should have
money to spend so freely. How can
they possibly Learn to appreciate
its value—and how do the parents
stand it? No wonder there is such
a hue and cry for higher salaries
and wages if the fortnightly
cheque, or weekly pay envelope,
has to provide so generously for
the youngsters' spending Money.
The wisdom of cutting the gar-
ment to fit the cloth must surely
be out of date, giving way to mod-
ern methods of pulling and stretch-
ing the cloth every which -way to
get all the garments one desires.
At the same time one cannot help
feeling sorry for the kids btcause
it will be hard for them to under-
stand and to make adjustments
when this easy -conte, easy -go pe-
riod comes to an end—as come it
surely will.
# * *
But of course the young folk are
not the only offenders. I suppose
we have all developed an "I want"
personality to a greater or less de-
gree. Beverley Baxter gave a good
illustration of this last week in his
address to the Canadian Club in
Toronto, which no doubt some of
you heard—I hope so, anyway.
Comparing the difference in the
present' standard of living in Eng-
land and on the North American
continent Mr. Baxter said—
"In England necessities have be-
come almost luxuries, whereas in
Canada and the United States of
America luxuries have become ne-
cessities!"
err * *
Back to the subject of price de-
control. From what I have gather-
ed high prices a -e not expected to
last very long and you will have
noticed.' that most of themare
things, that women have •to deal
with—so,it;is up to us, isn't it la-
dies? For a"while we can bake less,
buy fewer Cakes and cookies, patch
and darn and make -over a little
longer. And if you should want
proof that I practice What I preach
you should just see Partner's over-
alls!

TEEN -TOWN TOPICS
By BARRY MURKAR
A bright light shone in my eyes,
making the faces of the two men
across the table blur and seem un-
natural. One of the men was bald
and a deep red scar on the right
side of his face was livid in the
whiteness of the light. The other
man wore a brown fedora above a
sharp featured face. They looked
tough and ready for anything—and
at the moment for mc.
* * *
The bald man was shuffling
cards—the kind you play bridge
with. He turned them face up and
placed them in a line in front of
him. The chisel face was rattling
a pair of dice in his left hand and
every so often made a move as if
to throw them in my face. I was
scared.
"Little boys should never
gamble," said the chisel' face,
"never gamble at anytime, no mat-
ter how good are the odds," He
bent over close to me, and as I
tried to move, back, I found my
arms and legs securely tied to the
chair on which I was sitting.
"Why did you gamble, little
boy?" asked Baldy, "didn't you
know it was a bad thing to do?"
"But I didn't mean to—"
"Shut up, little boy." Chisel face
reached down into his pocket and
pulled out a bottle of coke. I -Ie
held it in his hand, looking at it
for a moment, then held it out to
me. As I reached for it, he slowly
pulled it back.
"Bad boys should be made to
sweat a little," he cracked. "You
lcolc very warm under those lights
and I'll bet you're thirsty. You are
thirsty, aren't you, little boy?"
"Yes," I replied meekly.
"You're hungry too. Very
hungry." Chisel face then reached
down and pulled out a chicken
sandwich, and began to eat, making
soft raunchy sounds and putting on
a face of satisfaction.
"What would you like most,
little boy?" asked Baldy.
"I want to go home," I replied.
"Ha, ha," he gargled. "Get that,
Chisel, tittle boy wants to go
home."
# k *
"You gambled today little. boy.
You should never have done that.
Those who gamble pay a penalty,
especially those "Little Boys" who
gamble. It never pays off. You
know that now, don't you? You
wish you'lrad never tried to make
that dollar triple itself. You're
sweating little boy. You're paying
for your misdeeds now." Chisel
then sat back on his chair and
caressingly fondled his dice. He
held them up to, eye level and
slowly moved them forward until
they moved up close again. Then
he nodded to Baldy.
* * *
Baldy glared at me, which made
me feel sick away down inside, He
got up, from the table and walked
arounbehind nae. Slowly he let
the cards Pall over me like water
from a shower.
"These cards and dice belong to
those who gamble," Chisel shouted
at me, "they are yours to keep for-
ever."
"I want to get out of here. Let
me go," I cried. I twisted and
writhed, but the ropes held me
tight in the chair.
"Little boy doesn't look so smart
now Chisel. He looks scared, and
11- should be. Now we'll give hint
the gambler's rub down."
They moved in close and untied
the ropes that held me, Chisel
slapped my face—hard, and then
twisted my arm behind me. I
kicked and lunged out. Suddenly
everything went black and a new
picture carne into focus,
"What are you doing on the
floor, son? You have your father
and everyone else in the house
awake."
# # *
I turned suddenly and there was
my mother, standing in tate door-
way of my bedroom. I got up off
the floor feeling very foolish.
"I had a—had a very bad dream."
"You must have had," said my
mother. "The whole house shook
when you bit the floor."
"I did a bad thing today mother,"
I confessed. "A guy told me it
I gave him a dollar, he would bet
it on a horse for me and 1 would
get three dollars back. I dreamt
that I was in a. room with two
tough men and they had dice and
cards. They leapt telling me little
boys should never gamble — then
they tried to beat me up. Gee mom,
that could happen to anyone. Boy,
I'll never gamble again."
More Ice, Faster
T h c conventional method of
freezing ice is slow and expensive
because of the extremely low heat
conductivity of both water and ice.
Now a machine has been developed
that will freeze ice more than 100
times faster than present conven-
tional.ntethods. A thin lay of ice is
formed over a revolving core, or
drum and is continuously scraped,
off. The ice may be used in flake
Porn! or, by simple pressure, molded
into ice cubes or cakes of any de-
sired size.
