Five million books. covering more than sixty miles of shelves are housed at the British Mu- seum Library, London. A copy of nearly every book ever publish- ed is to found there. For twenty-two years, week in, week out, eight scholars have been steadily at work catalogu- ing this colossal library, They recently reached the Ds, which means that at the present rate of progress, their vast job will not be completed until the year 2036,. But, by then, it is computed, the early volumes of the cata- logue will be a century out of date. So once . more a team of scholars wall have to undertake • the cataloguing. It's really a job that never ends. One of the rare books in the British Museum library is a first edition presentation copy of Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adven- tures in Wonderland,' dated 1865. It was bought by the Museum for X1,320 last year. Doesn't Feaze eyes are on hula dancer Pauline Koko- huna, except those of Pvt. Franklin IX Smith, at left, who coIrniy ,tioes on shaving.

Went After Gold Xiut Got Horse Whipping • 4,'A One of the strangest arrwals at the Coolgardie goldfieldsAur- ing the Western Australian .021c1 - rush of the 90's was the gOn. Robert Montagu, son of *),.k rd Montagu of Beaulieu. 4.1-.F. Young, who worked there r4.a mine official after taking pa in the rush, says Montagu had•,b sent out by his family tq. ' experience." ss "All you fellows," said the ourable, "must call me BellS,Or Monty—Take your pick." He was a good, unaffected, plain4e1- low, anxious to scrap all pride, pomp and ceremony. "My dear chaps," he declared, "you'ves)to idea what being a second son to a lord is like. One gets utterly bored being a sort of not -wanted addition to the family." Cartloads of Luggage 1ti He had so much luggage that Paddy, the carter, had to make two trips to Coolgardie for it. There were guns and rifles in cases, surveying instruments, water -filters of all sizes, com- passes, hunting knives, felt - covered drinking vessels, camp - stools, waterproof sheets and sim- ilar bedding woollen -lined, mos- quito nets, trunks full of clothes, technical and other books, port- able lamps, and so on. All was well until he began troubling himself about a mining company promoter named Wills who often came out to the camp from Coolgardie. "Why do you always address Wills as 'Mister'?" Bob asked Mr. Young abruptly one day. "He's a nobody, We always allude to him as 'Louisa.' He is an old woman, really—a bore. Pater all - ways goes to sleep when he's about. Somehow or other Wills got into our circle and has seine - times stayed at Beaulieu Abbey. We never seem to be able to get rid of him under four or five days." One morning Wills turned up on a bicycle with a buggy whip strapped to the handlebars. "Young,".he :fumed, "call the men up. I'ni going to thrash this cad publicly." He, stamped angrily into the bough shed to drag Bob Out, but he vsasn't there, Even- tually he was found hiding be- hind the tent, crouching in the dead branches forming the side. And there Wills used the whip, demanding: "Did you write this letter to your father? . Do you think I'm a rogue and misrepre- sent conditions here?" Finally, Wills threw the whip into the cemp-tire and left. End of Goldmining From then en Bob began to drift off, He'd make some excuse to go to Coolgardie, take a trunk with him, then return within a week, mooch about disconsola- tely, do the trip again vvithan- other trunk and another, until within six weeks he'd cleared his gear, left without saying geed - bye, and neve; came back. That was the end of his goldmining, Writes G. P. 'Young, in a vivid account of his goldrush adVen- taloa in "Under the Coolibab Tree," Is The Moon " ead"? If the rocket trip id the moon planned by the Canadian Rocket Society in '960 is successful, we may at last learn the answer to some of the mysteries that have long puzzled us. Perhaps the most intriguing riddle of all is as to whether there is life on the moon. Though most of the evidence is against the existence of life we cannot dismiss it as impossible. Some scientists believe there may be a chance of mosses and lichen growing in a few spots. It may be that on the moon there are forms of life beyond otir present conception, We cannot be sure, until Man has been there, that the moon is ``dead," Another mystery which has • long puzzled scientists is how were the craters lormed? Are they old volcanoes, or were they made by meteors striking the surface when the moon was in a molten state? Will the rocket men of the future find the an- swer? The craters offer a further puzzle. Look carefully at a large photograph a the moon and you will see bright lines like the spokes of a wheel radiating froro some of them. No one knows what these really are. 00, SO I in Horse Sense.. by BOB ELLIS - The battle of polities is warm- ing up and points and issues are being thrown around freely. Farmers will do well to keep their heads cool and not get in- volved in party politics. Economic conditions are not what they were in the forties when the farmers thought they did not need td worry about the future and were net interested in farm ',elides of the parties, but just plugged for them like they would for their home team, Times have changed. The trend is downward and — unless the cold war changes into a hot one —the trend is likely to continue downward. WANT PROGRAM Our traditional British markets are gone, our great neighbour to the South, en whom so many hopes had been pinned, is closing the borders to our farm products, Canadian farm surpluses are growing and dragging down prices in the home market. On top of all that Canadian farmers, for the first time in many years are experiencing the effects of being undersold by im- ported foods. Five million pounds of Italian tomato paste, 12 million pounds of cheese, millions of eggs from Holland came into Canada in 1952/3. These are buyers' times and the farmers will have to do a selling job in order to get rid of their goods and yet be able to make a decent living. To do this they need a pro- gram. A program which should be developed by the farmers themselves in co-operation with the federal government; a pro- gram which should be put into action by the federal government in co-operation with the farmers. STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN The basis for such a program is given in the many briefs submit- ted to the federal government by the Federation of Agriculture and the Farmers' Unions. It is up to the farmers to pick the party which is willing to commit itself to a clear cut and precise line of action. Mr. Caldwell of the CCF was the first one to corn out with "Forward Prices based on Pari- ty". Mr. Drew of the Conserva- tives followed up with "Fair Floor Prices". Mr. St. Laurent for the Liberals now says it can- not be done. ..A11 this sends interesting, blot it is tee vague. and wants to birt: clarified. That it CM be done has: been proven in other countries, but what are "fair" prices for the farmer and what is "parity"? NOW is TBE TIME This is D-day for the farmers of Canada. Unless they make quite sure before the tenth day of August what Opportunities the future government of Canada is going to give them, they will squawk in their kitchens and meetings for the next four or five years as they have been doing for the last two. They should ask Mr. Si. Lau- rent why he thinks that farmers should not have some security in their prices; they should ask Mr. Drew what he considers "fair" price; and they should go to the • trouble of finding out what Mr. Caldwell understands. by "Pari - 131". Now Now is the time to do it and not after the election when a group of men will sit 10 Ottawa and do so as they please tor the next five years.
