'eeY cR4, oI tt" e D C to,„e
It has been such a wonderful
week — warm, bright sunshine
and good drying winds to which
budding trees and flowers have
responded with miraculous speed.
Fall wheat and pasture fields look
green and promising; gardens 'are
gay with nodding daffodils. Here
and there on light soil farmers are
already out on the land. Yes, be-
fore r ur very eyes the miracle of
spring is taking place all over
again. Lawns are being raked and
a few days will see lawn mowers
once more in action — and no
doubt there will be a bit of brow -
mopping and a few aching backs
as a result.
My first job outside was remov-
ing and burning a pile of brush
left over last fall when the early
snow came and caught us tin-
awares. Quite a chore• when it has
been left so long but any job is
• welcome as a legitimate excuse for
staying outside. And it is up to
me to do it as Partner will Piave
no time to spare until the cows
are out to grass, which will not
be for a few weeks yet. But I
don't mind — after all, who wants
to work inside when the great out-
doors is sounding its first clear call
to action. At such a time one also
realizes how good it is to he alive
--- and how good to live in the
country. The pity of it is all people
are not equally fortunate. Down
town, for instance, our small hos-
pital has every bed occupied all the
time. For patients whose stay
there is brief one knows they will
soon be up and around and will
not miss very much but how one
grieves for those who will be, or
have been, donfined to bed for any
length of time. It so happens that
I know several such cases just now
and I feel almost guilty in visit-
ing thein while 1 ant enjoying ap-
parent good health. 1 wish I could
take spring into the hospital as
easily as I can take a bouquet of
flowers. If 1 could only take some
of these clear people who love the
country just a corner of a field
where the mayflowers grow, or
have them !tear the bobolinks song
of ecstasy as they sing from their
perch on the telephone wires. Or
take them a short distance to the
little country church I went to
yesterday.
Such a lovely little church, with
a simplicity and dignity peculiarly
its own. The service was straight-
forward and unaffected; the con-
gregation, mostly from farm fami-
lies, seethed unhurried and very
much in earnest. The church is
among the hills, and not too far
away one sees the 'limestone cliff
of Rattlesnake Point. Perhaps it
was only coincidence but 1 was
particularly struck with the ap-
propriateness of the closing hymn
— "Unto the hills around do I •
lift up my longing eyes.' I thought
of the early settlers of this dis-
trict, facing untold hardships with
such remarkable courage and for-
titude, how often they must have
lifted their eyes "unto the hills"
and remembered to their comfort
"Jehovah shall preserve thy go.
ing out, thy coining in." I love
little country churches -- partly
because the last resting place of
the early pioneers is there within
the precincts of the church. And I
also have a queer feeling that God
must have a special place in His
heart for the little country 'church,
no matter what faith or creed it
represents.
Coming home 1 noticed a strik-
ing, but by now a common con-
trast, to the rural community I
had just left. I came past an out-
lying district of a small town com-
monly known as "Shack -town".
Shack -town, I noticed, was a verit-
able network of television aerials.
I wonder what will happen if a
twister should ever strike that dis-
teirt.

will eventually. be possible without

THE
problem, in the past; with budget raincoats has been
!l mostly a matter of styling. True, they shed the rain
and warded off the damp ,just as `efficiently as a raincoat
costing far more, but lots of women refused to wear them
on the grounds that they were strictly utilitarian. not pretty
A new "weather duster" has been designed tit overcome
this problem: Very low priced, it's made of virgin vinyl

Well, 1 have been talking mostly
about the great outdoors but I
have also found an indoor treasure
which promises to be a goidmine of
information. That is, our public
library. Of course, the library has
been there for years but book
space has been so cramped that
it was impossible to know what
books were there — other than the
newer books. Now the library has
been moved to newer and 'bigger
quarters and the old voltimes are
getting the prominence they • de-
• serve. For research and -historical
data such books are invaluable to
those who are interested. I anti-

SHORT BITS
At a recent bankers' convention
a speaker asked, "Can you name a
single commodity that has not
gone up since 1940?" Washington
-Dodge, Wall Street broker, snapp-
ed: "Money."
Charles Allen Smart, author of
R.F.D. and Sassafras Hill, rushed
breathlessly into his publisher's
office, and apologized, "Forgive
me for being late, but I just met my
recent commanding officer and
he let ane off at the wrong floor."
A Park Avenue doctor's overdue
bills now bear a sticker reading,
"Long time no fee."
A man whose children had at-
tended a progressive school and
followed a schedule he strongly
disapproved told his wife coldly,
"Madam, your two sons do not
know their R's from a hole in the

They Call Them. ".door Man's Diamonds"
— Brighter Than The Real Thing
In a laboratory on the outskirts
of Loudon a group of industrial
scientists have set 1952 merrily on
its way with a headache for South
Africa's vast quarter billion dollar
empire of diamonds. They have
•discovered the "poor malt's dia-
mond."
Front a stick of silvery ttlianiunh,
a metal Which is actunlly;tl ;raft's
ninth most common element and
far more plentiful than nickel or
copper, they have found a cheap
and simple way of mass-producing
gems which, when properly pol-
ished, can even outshine diamonds.
These new titanium gents glit-
ter with vivid diamond "fire" and
are tougher than steel. For research
purposes the experts have produc-
ed a "diamond" pencil ten inches
long, which hashes like a magic
wand yet can be sliced into hund-
reds of small discs, each outshin-
ing a true $2,000 diamond.
Is this the beginning of the end
for the world's merry but mono-
poly -fostered diamond boom? To
foreshadow the future, crystal ex-
perts have glanced back to the
day -5 years ago—when French
scientist Louis Verneuil dripped
aluminum oxide through a furnace,
added metallic pigments and built
the first synthetic sapphire. Thanks
to this process the Swiss were
soon turning out millions of syn-
thetic sapphires for watch -makers
and selling them for as little as
a dime apiece. The•world's watches
would otherwise cost roughly
double their present price.
Sapphire bearings are used in
the armaments drive, in gauges
and measuring instruments, and
millions are now pouring front an
important British factory.
In the export drive a pound of
saphhire needles for long-playing
microgroove records sells at $100,-
000. Yet that works out at little
more than fifteen cents each!
BY a similar process the Ver-
neuil method led to synthetic Star
rubies. Until recently most of the
-world's 50 star rubies were zeal-
ously guarded in India and market
prices averaged $1,500 a carat.
Now artificial star rubies sell at
$35 a carat. Thousands of perfect
specimens have been made, includ-
ing the largest star ruby ever cut,
a stone nearly as large as the
Koh-i-nttr.
Now diamonds are marching
along the same high road. Only
an X-ray crystallography examina-
tion can establish the • difference
between many titanium diamonds
and genuine, natural stone.
"They are too good—nature is,
never perfect," jewellers say. Scien-
tists believe, however, that it will
be possible to introduce slight
flaws into the stone to overcome
this.
Chief merit of the new process
is its cheapness. It has always
been claimed that a Victorian ex-
perimenter named John Hannay
actually made synthetic diamonds
seventy years ago, but the cost
made them asp ,;dear. as real dia-
monds.
Did Hannay really produce real
stones? Mrs. Kathleen Lonsdale,
an eminent British crystal expert,
heard recently that two of his
stones were in the safe keeping of
the British Museum and asked to
be allowed to subject them to
scientific tests.
Permission was readily granted
and Mrs. Lonsdale made an ex-
haustive scrutiny at the Davy -
Faraday laboratory,
Old IIannay's diamonds, though
synthetic, were proved to be real
diamonds, Hannay's experiments
had to be kept in cold storage
. , but it's evident that the cheape ...
titanium stones have come to stay.

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. When it is impossible for a
man's mother to pay the conven-
tional visit upon her son's new
fiancee, what kind of a letter can
she write?
A. "Dear Ruth: Jim has just told
us of his great happiness which, of
course, brings joy to us. Our one
regret is that we are so far away
(or whatever it is that prevents the
visit) that we cannot immediately
welcome you in person. We do,
however, send you our love and
good wishes. Margaret Wilson."
Q. Is it all right for a hostess to
serve two or three dishes at a time,
if she must do all the serving alone?
A. Of course. Considerate guests
would not criticize her for this,
and of course she would not be
serving if the dinner were formal.
Q. Is it all right for a man to
use only his initials when signing
social correspondence?
A. No; he should sign his full
naive.
Q. Is it proper to guess at a
name if one has not heard it dis-
tinctly during an introduction?
A. No; it is much better to ask
and be correct. The proper thing to
say would be: "I'm very sorry, but
I did not hear your name- clearly,"
or, "Did Mr. Johnson call you Miss
Ferris? I'tn sorry, but I did not
hear very well,"
Q. How far in advance of the
wedding should gifts be sent to the
bride?
A. Usually two weeks or ten
days before the date of the wedd-
ing, so that the bride may have
time to acknowledge it.
Q. What is the proper thing foss
a woman to do when calling, if she
finds her hostess is preparing to go
out?
A. She may say, "I see you are
ready to go out; I won't keep you."
However, if the hostess insists that
she remain for awhile, it is perfectly
proper to do so.
HIS ERROR
Alfred Knopf is very particular
about the cigars he smokes, Hire
favorite brand is a pure Havattta
manufactured by II, Upmanu,
packaged individually in a mete*
container that looks like a minia-
ture torpedo. On his way back
from the coast recently, Mr. Knopf
fell into conversation with a beard-
ed stranger in the club car of the
Chief, and automatically reached
for one of his precious stogies.
Then, with understandable relue-.
tance, he offered another (his last)
to the bearded stranger.
After the two men had puffed
in silence for a spell, Mr. Knopf
could not resist asking, "What do
yott think of that cigar?" ' The
stranger shrugged his shoulders
and said, "Not bad." "Not bads"
echoed Knopf. "I'11 have you know
that's an Upmann Special." "No, it:
isn't," said the other. "You see,
I'm Upmann, and only tUpinante
smokes Upmann Specials.i'
"This business of nourishing the
soil seems grotesque, It's hard
enough to feed the family let alone
throwing away good money on
feeding the land. Our idea about
soil is that it ought to feed itself."
