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 man," _because its fork -shaped root gives it an appearance of a human being in miniature. Throughout Gli!na it is regarded as a remedy for almost all diseases, though British all(] American doctors who have analyser( it and tested its effect on Weste.ners, 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 has the ' most enduring building power of almost any tonic knotw'n. 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 y BIER &xD P1 tidolin.e P. Claxlte Sunshilte ... that's the big local news as I write. Sunshine, 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 whole days the week before. But now that the 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- thiirg' : 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 bttt 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 mountain. 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, Nye were oil q different road, and coming down the mount- ain - a road entirely new to pie. Maybe I wouldn't have been on it at all had I known how steep it wqs. 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 ally 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 car! Too lead some of the loveliest drives in this, and other counties, are on such haz- ardous roads. Eventually we came to the main 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 anis 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, Put 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 him. 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•• srwering Western scientists who say there is nothing miraculous about the plant: "It would per- haps be worth - while 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 Columhla. It just keeps turning up. Trying to get rid of the safe several years ago, the firm left it on a vacant lot. Kindly citizens returned it The coal dealers buried the safe On the same spot --(toping to see the last of it, But a bulldozer recently unearthed it while work- ing on all excavation for a build- ing in the empty lot, Detectives hunted ill, the mlrneri to returtl it. A partiur of the first slid: "It is going to the •lunlr pile -1 hope for keel•'s." from home and most of.iiis 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 mat- ter of temperament as circumstan- ces that is a deciding factor in where people make their home. When good roads make transpor- tation so easy it is hard to under- stand ,,vliy 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 cities and tovrrts. My goodness I had nearly for- gotten to mention our Honeyl She came with us on our trip and when we stopped to visit rye 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 Hon- ey but her double - same size, same colour, but a different shape face and a different sex. Now you 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 ktlpws when the weekend comes. She always goes upstairs on 8unday.inornings 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 nightsl" Cinside down to prevent peeking.
