TIILFMN FRONT
"This nation" says ' R. Snyder,
prominent agronotllist, "%Slits once
the centre of civilization; but today
its .extensive acres of barren soils
stand as a constant reminder of
what the loss of fertility and pro-
ductiveness trill dal to a nation's
well-being. So it has been since
time began that each nation pros-
pered only so long as its agricnl-
ture prospered,"
If those words make you feel
like ducking toward the nearest
bonth-shelter, set your Mind at rest.
The nation Mr. Snyder was speak-
ing about was China, not Canada;
and he coupled the remark with the
warning that the fate of our pre-
sent civilization hinges largely on
what we do about soil conservation
in the next few years,
} R *
Such a warning is by no means
new. But it is one that can hardly
be repeated too often.
* * t
For a prosperous agriculture good
Jand management is a necessity, this
soil expert states. This "leans the
complete utilization of all lands for
continued maximum production. To
attain this we must control erosion,
conserve water and return to the
soil the needed plant food and
minerals.
* ►
Erosiod control may be accom-
plished by contour ploughing, strip
cropping, erecting wind breaks and
keeping land too steep for cultiva-
tion in sod, By terracing and con-
tour cropping, water can be better
controlled. Stubble mulching and
leaving crop residue on the sur-
face arc effective in preventing both
erosion and water run-off,
* *
The soil, climate and •nature of
the crop determine the kinds 'of
plant food needed. Each individual
farmer must find out what nutrients
his farm and craps require and
apply them accordingly. High per -
acre yields can be obtained by keep-
ing the soil nearly neutral in re-
action and well supplied with or-
ganic platter and available plant
food by the judicious use of crop
residues, green "manure crops, barn-
yard manure, commercial fertilizers
and lime.
* * }
The use of feathers as a feed
supplement for poultry is being ex-
perimented with at a western re-
gional research laboratory, Accord-
ing to the research workers, feathers
are high in arginine, one of the
amino acids considered essential
for the feeding of poultry. In the
same laboratory processed feathers
arc being tested as a conditioning
agent in mixed organic fertilizers,
in the preparation of plaster retard-
ers and the manufacure of plastic
articles. * .*
The process consists of a cooker,
drier and grinder. .heathers . are
cooked under pressure in saturated
steam at a temperature of 287 to
307 degrees F, To obtain uniform
•heating, the feathers are agitated
during cooking.
*
After cooking for 30 to 710 min-
utes, the steam is exhausted and
the feathers transferred to drying
equipment where the moisture con-
tent is reduced to eight to 10 per
cent. The dry, friable "material is
then easily ground to produce a
meal or powder suitable for pack-
aging in. such containers as multi -
wall paper bags.
* * }
Thousands of tons of feathers go
to waste each year in Canada be-
cause no suitable method leas been
devised to process them economic-
ally. In fact, the cost of disposing
feathers has been a costly problem
for "many packers of fresh and fro-
zen poultry. Before long, however,

these feathers will be changed front
a liability into a real asset.
* * *
And while we're on this fowl
subject, 1 )night as well pass along
a message which may be of value to
some of you who do not only raise
poultry, but have a home freezer
as well, '' * '}
Why feed perfectly good grain
to lazy hens when it could be used
for Mullan food? 13o you know that
these non -laying hens consume 5
to.8 pounds of costly feed a month?
Why not freeze these loafers who
are slowly draining - the country's
grain supply? With these frozen
chickens in your home freezer, a
chicken d:nner will present no prob-
lem When unexpected company
drops in. '}
To kill birds, use a pointed blade
that tapers from a width of % inch
at the handle ,to a point. Hang the
fowl at a convenient height and
press lightly against the bones in
the neck as the blade passes through
the jugular vein, This "method in-
sures rapid, thorough bleeding.
* * *
Scald the birds in water about
128 degrees F. for 20 to 50 seconds
depending on the age of the bird.
This leaves the skin in good con-
dition; whereas scalding at a higher
temperature slakes picking faster
but tends to stake the skin look
blotchy and unattractive, Chill the
birds in ice water or chill room
immediately after they are scalded
and picked.
* * N•
Non -laying hens arc likely to be
big boned; therefore, the meaty
and bony pieces should be separ-
ated in order to prevent a waste
of storage space. Disjoint the
chickens; separate the meaty pieces,
which include breasts, thighs, and
legs. Bones may be'renloved from
the legs and only the "teat stored
to preserve spare, The back, wings
and necks may be made into tasty
creamed chicken.
* 4 ,}
Birds must be packaged in mois-
ture -proof, vapor -resistant wrappers
which can be sealed tightly. Use
medius) or small containers accord-
ing to your family's needs. Cartons
may he labeled with the :ate and
contents. A fold of cellophane
should be placed between . the
pieces` before packing to prevent
sticking together, Frozen chicken
may be cooked without thawing in
either stew or fricassee.
*
In preparing creamed chicken,
cover the bony pieces with salt
water and simmer until tender, A
small bag of herbs (/ teaspoon
thyme and i.l. teaspoon marjoram
may be added to the cooking water
as a mild seasoning. Cool the ook-
ed meat and separate the meat front
skin and fat. In stripping the bones,
try to have good sized pieces that
can be cut into cubes of uniform
size. These are just right for leak-
ing wonderful creamed chicken
with your favorite recipe,
* 4 *
Meat from the necks, wings and
backs of six chickens yields approx-
imately- 41i pints, If the legs are
added, the yield is about 8 to 9
punts. Cool the chicken quickly,
package, and freeze it at zero de-
grees F. or lower,
Ancient Pottery
Found In Israel
Pottery from the first Jewish
kingdom to the Herodian epoch was
discovered when excavators opened
an ancient rock -hewn cistern in
the northeastern corner of the Na-
tivity Church in Bethiehenl.
The excavators belonged to the
British -staffed Department of An-
tiquities of the Hashemite Jordan
government which is carrying out
restoration work at the famous
shrine.
According to the excavators, the
cistern corresponds far more to the
"David's well" mentioned in the
Old Testament than the cistern in
western Bethlehem which is usually
claimed to be the historic well.
They -said that the close con-
nection between the.cistern and the
Nativity grotto tends to confirm the
tradition that the grotto was a sub-
terranean stable, The cistern has
seemingly been untouched since
the Roman destruction of Bethle-
hem in 70 A.D.

Over the stretch of years during
which we have been cobbling
around with various sports columns,
the reading world has been spared
many pieces from our typewriter
because of one of our most persis-
tent beliefs. (Incidentally, we have
also personally been spared a good
deal of work,)
* * *
Whenever we think of something
snappy to write, we are immediately
assailed with the belief that (a)
somebody has already said the same
thing and said it better or, (b) if
we wait long enough somebody else
will say the sank thing and say it
better.
* *
Ever since they started 'this "Ca-
nadian Athlete of the Half Cen-
tury" thing, 'which• filled gb many
.columns of newspaper space and so
many minutes of radio air, there
has been one interesting point we
had a desire to bring up. But we
never got around to writing it, for
some 'reason or other; and, sure
enough, we weren't kept waiting
too long before it was done for us
in a manner 'which we could not
hope to equal, let alone top.
* * *
So, without further ado, we quote
the following from the pen of Can-
ada's ace columnist, J. V; McAree,
as published in the 'Toronto Globe
and Mail,
* # *
"We do not dissent from the
choice of outstanding Canadian
athletes made by a poll of sports
writers and sportcasters. We have
seen most of them and have known
some of them. We do not deny that
the choices were wisely made, es-
pecially the choice of our friend,
Miss Bobbie Rosenfeld.
, :} * t}
"What we feel inclined to doubt
is the competence of the judges. We
doubt if half of them were born
fifty years ago. We doubt if nine -
tenths of them fifty years ago were
in any position to form any but
juvenile opinions of what they saw.
"If they were adults in 1900 they
must be in their seventies now, and
we do not know any of I:hem who
from appearance would be taken for
venerable citizens. How many of
the judges ever saw Henry Hoobin,
the Shamrock lacrosse player? We
doubt if most of them ever saw
Newsy Lalonde, who was chosen
the best player of Canada's national
game in the past half century. DID
THEY DO THEIR JUDGING
, FROM NEWSPAPER CLIP-
PINGS?" '
* * 8 ,
1'o whicl1 111r, eArre might well
have added the doubt that fifty per
cent of the pollsters ever even saw
a real game of lacrosse—that is, the
old 12 -Ulan style played on wide,
open spaces—or are in a position
to compare Newsy Lalonde with the,
likes of Billy Fitzgerald, Eddie
Powers, Mickey Ion and a whole
host of other top-notchers.
* ,} .•
We, ourselves, saw in action a
large majority of those "mentioned
in the various polls. But in sport,
as in everything else, distance has
a way of lending 'enchantment.
When you are young and enthusias-
tic, members of your "home team"
acquire a glamour that is largely in
the eye of the beholder. For years
we, in lacrosse, were a dyed-in-the-
wool Tecumseh fan, Anybody not
wearing a Tecumseh uniform was
an enemy. If Lalonde or hitzGerald
scored a goal, it was by sheer luck,
not ability. In other words we
were not "in any position to form
any but juvenile opinions" of men

Take ,as another example, foot -
hall, Conacher was the outstanding
choice as the half -century's 'great-
est. On his record, he could hardly
be passed up, Still, if we were al-
lowed to snake just one pick for
a player around whom to build a
team we would take Joe Krol ahead
of Conacher, and Red Batstone
ahead of either. So it's all a matter
of opinion. )lig Con himself says
that the greatest Canadian football

it Time to Personalize Your Home
ANY people today have more skill as house -furnishers
than as honk -makers, Intent upon the efficiency and
space -saving necessary to modern living, they forget to
add the final small touches that give a house personality.
Perhaps grandmother overdid things—but when you
walked into her house you could tell whether she was
handy Avith her crochet needles, or whether her talents
ran to china -painting and indoor cultivation of geraniums.
No matter how handsome a decorator's .sketch may
appear, it's a mistake for yoti to copy it in every detail.
Your Monte should reflect you—and your own individual
]iking.s,
In toddy's hustle and bustle, take time for little extras.
Cover your stools with needlepoint, if that's your taste,
or your walls with impressionistic paintings if your lean-
ings ai'c more modern.
Take your favorite pitcher out of your china cupboard;
fill it with flowers and place it on the hall table for every-
day enjoyment.
Hang that handsome plate you received for a wedding
present upon the wall, instead of hoarding it for semi-
annual dinners, •
It's a good idea to strive toward graciousness as well
as personality in your house. To make your guests like
you, as well as your home, remember small courtesies
like fresh fingertip towels in the bathroom, books on the
bedside table, or a special set of cosmetics in the drawer
of the guest -room vanity.
This guest enjoys her stay in a house that has both
personality and graciousness. Fingertip towels, fresh
daily, add to the home's hospitable atmosphere and

dai Andrews.
L'he idea of using canned tomato
soup as an ingredient in cakes or
puddings. may come as a bit of a
shock to some; but it was some
years ago that' experimenters dis-
covered that the spiced "fruitiness"
of the soup makes it a pleasant ad-
dition to tr.wuy types of batter, Be-
sides that, it lends a rich glowing
colour which greatly increases the
"eye appeal."
'.I'he following recipe was worked
out in the test kitchen of a big
canning company; and although
they're called "Date Cakes" most
folks serve them as a hot dessert,
covered with a sauce such as the
one for which I also give you the
recipe, You'll°note• that there's no
salt in the cakes' recipe 'That's be-
cause there's sufficient in the soup.

that $4.97 had been sent to the chil-

advertise their produce; produce bet-
ter quality goods, have marketing
boards, eat more of our own products,
and do not use margarine. Question 2:
We think farm organizations should
collect money from farmers to promote
sale of their products, because if far-
mers do not advertise their products
no one else will, and it pays other or-
ganizations to advertise, so why not
the fanner? If more of the middlemen

May I be forgiven if 1 make use
of our column this week. to say
''"Thank you" for some of the lovely
cards that cattle to IIS during the
Christmas season. Perhaps I seem
a little late in doing this but I
thought it better to wait until all
the excitement incidental to Christ-
mas and New Year celebrations had
simmered down. You sec, I also
had an idea you would all be so
busy that you probably wouldn't
have time to rear] this column any-
way.
Because it was such a busy season
makes Inc appreciate more and
more the kind thought that prompt-
ed so many of you to send along
your good wishes to us at Ginger
Farun, And not just a card but on
every card there was a little extra
message written that gave it that
personal touch we all like so much.
"Mrs, ,L.", Fort William: It was
nice to hear from you -again and
to get your good wishes._I intended
sending your address to Daughter
but when I looked it wasn't on the
card, But'maybc she will remember
it as she was inquiring for you. Yes,
being a "landlady" is quite an un-
dertaking but she is getting quite
a kick out of it. Your boys must
. be getting big fellows now—even
the youngest would enjoy all the
Christmas activities. Your home
could not be anything but .home
when you h:,ve the children tui:h
you. IIope 1951 will be a good year
for you all in every way. You, who
show so much kindness to other
folly, will, I ant sure, find some of
it comms back to you in full meas-
ure as the years go by.
"T. R,", Faraday: Thank you for
your very nice card and its appro-
priate verse for these troubled
times. To remember 'that verse may
help a lot so do you mind if I
share it with others who read this
column? "The :Lord will give
strength unto His people; the Lord
will bless His people with peace,"
Ps. 29:11. Certainly we need that
strength as without it there can
be no peace, I am very glad you
enjoy this column even if you can't
send me any help towards .raising
African violets! And that is just too
bad because I got three new vari-
tics given Inc for Christmas. Pretty
soon I shall need more window
space as well as advice. Best wishes
for the New Year.
!t[onetvilk. flow nice of
you to remember us again this
year. With all the work your have
to do I wonder 'you have time to
give a thought to anyone outside
your own fancily. But that is what
happens all the tints—the busiest
people are the ones who have time
for just one more job and their
kindness spreads out and gathers
o.hers' within the warmth of their
own family circle, Hope your
branch of the \V,f. continues to
flourish—it should do with such
enthusiastic and hard-working mem-
bers. Best wishes to you and your
fancily and to all the members of
your new Institute.

Whole World Needs
Spring -Cleaning
Most of us are probably carrying
around a quarter of a pound of dust
picked up by our clothes, according
to the National Federation of Dyers
and Cleaners.
Nature is responsible for most of
il, and distributes dust in various
sways.
For instance, dust is carried from
the world's deserts by the wind and
scattered in other areas.
In a wind -storm at the beginning
df the century it was estimated that
nearly two million tons of dust from
the Sahara were blown across the
Mediterranean to Europe, sonic of
it being carried 2,500 utiles.
Some of the most fertile soils in
the world have been formed by
wind-blown dust accumulating for
thousands of years.
These deposits arc called loess.
They are 700 feet thick in some
parts.
. Burnt-out Meteors
High up in the air a vast amount
of dust results from burnt-out
meteors entering the earth's at-
mosphere.
Scientists analysed the dust found
on the benches of a laboratory that
had been sealed 'tip for twenty
years.
They found that some of it had
come from outer space in the form
of tiny metallic particles so small
that the sealing, of the room had
trade no difference to their entry.
Volcanic eruptions arc another
natural cause of. dust. The eruption
of Krakatoa in the,. East Indies
threw about four cubic utiles of
dust into the air.
This was carried into the higher
layers of the stratosphere and stay-
ed there for two or three years,
travelling many times round the
earth before settling—perhaps on
your suit.

Jesus Meets Growing Hostility
Marl: 2;1-12

I carne not to call the righteous
but sinners to repentance. Mark 2:17
l'he incident of the font' men
brining the palsied man to Jesus /
is a striking • instance of co-oper-
ation and determination. They had
tittle to minister to the needs of
their neighbour. No peculiar whims
prevented then1 w•oriting as a team.
They had the objective of bringing
a man to Jesus. 'l'luis overshadowed -
any differences they may have had.
with respect to the appropriate
time, the best manner of carrying,
the stretcher or any other incident-
als. They were not hampered by
tradition. Who ever heard, of letting
a man down through the roof? But
it didn't matter to these men what
people said as long as they got this
man to Jesus. if the Church as a.
whole were 'possessed of such a.
passion, how many more would be
led into the Kingdom of Cod.
Jesus ..first forgave the tuatt's.
sins. The scribes murmured of
blasphemy. He, perceiving their
hostility, said, "That ye may know
that illy Son of man hath power on
earth to forgive sins, (Ile saith
onto the sick of the palsy,) 1 say
unto thee, arise,' and take up thy
bed, and go thy way into thine .
house. And immediately he arose,
took up the bed, and went forth
before them all," Jesus first for-
gave the man, then He healed hitn.
The healing was u proof of His
deity and was an answer to the ob-
jections concerning IIis power to
forgive sins,
Through Jesus Christ we may
still have forgiveness and \vc may
have healing. Jesus said before His
ascension, "These signs shall follow
them that believe; in my name shall
they cast out devils; . they shall
lay hands on the sick, and they
shall recover," God's power is just
the same to -day,
"Is there any legend about that

They Believe The Earth Flat
flow round is the world? Four
'young scientists have gone to the
wilds of the outbacks of Australia
'to check up on it, using highly sen-
sitive equipment loaned by Cant
bridge University.
Check stations are being set up
at, intervals of 300 to 500 utiles, and
among the equipment used are pen-
dulums accurate to one ten -mil-
lionth of a second. '['hey are tuned
regularly to the U.S. Standards
bureau time signals broadcast' from
Washington...
So sensitive is the apparatus that
a single spot of rust on a pendulum
would nullify the calculations,
- The information gained will call
for study that will take two years
to complete.
But one thing is certain now;
whatever the scientists' conclusions
may he, the "flat-carthites" will be
just as unimpressed as ever.
Persistent Race
It seems incredible that in the
twentieth century there are still
people who believe the earth is flat.
The fact is there are plenty of thein
writes E. R, \Tatham in "Answers."
The Personal Coltiinn in "The
'I'irnes" of August 14th, 1945, car-
ried this announcement: "Earth is
Flat, believers please write (names
not divulged).—Write---"
These people called themselves
"Zetetics," a word which means
"proceeding by inquiry," which is
just the very thing their opponents,
the "round-earthers," say they are
not doing. But that doesn't alter
the fact that they are convinced
'they are right.
William Carpenter, of Baltimore,
U.S.A., wrote a book entitled 'One
Ilundred Proofs that the World is
Not a Globe." It has gone into at
least a dozen editions, and has a
map of the world which professes
to prove that the earth is a plane,
with the land stretched nut above
the waters.
Many of its proofs are ingenious
and interesting, and the whole cont-
pilation is a wonderful example of
how the human mind can adapt it-
self to the demands of a precon-
ceived idea in spite of the findings
of science.
These flat-earthites are a curi-
ously persistent race. In the 'eighties
of last century a certain William '
Hampden was their protagonist,
and he spent a fortune in- the hope-
less cause. -
By 1905, Lady Blount had taken
overthe leadership. "If the people
of the Antipodes, do hang head
downwards, why don't they do it
when 'they conte to London?" she
asked at a ntceting in Exeter Hall.
"Newton was an ignoramus, the
solar sytem a romance, and -gravi-
tation a delusion," was one of her
epigrams.
The Zetetics had a "Glory Song"
called "Gravitation," which began:
The gravity•theory,.
When started, was clearly
A fancy -which Newton had
"run,"
Imagine the notion—
' The world, mostly ocean,
Once a cinder shot out from
the sun!
Most of us, no doubt, believe the
world is round—but it's not so
easy to prove! Shaw once attended
a meeting at which the chief
speaker was a man who had de-
voted his life to proving that the
earth was flat,
Sputtering Fury
"Oppositioii," said G.B.S., "such
as no atheist could have provoked"
assailed him; and lie, having heard
their arguments hundreds of times,
played pkittles with them, lashing
the meeting into a sputtering fury
as he answered easily what is con-
sidered unanswerable.
One questioner, full of wrath,
rose up and asked: "Can you •deny
that if you start from Liverpool,
and keep travelling due West or
East you will find yourself in •
Liverpool again?"
"Of course'you c[o," said the lec-
turer; and, according to Shaw, he
demonstrated what happens, by
tracing a circle on the flat top of
the table with itis linger.
One of the round-eartltcrs then
produced his trump card. "In an
eclipse," lie said, "the shadow of
the eclipsing body is round: How
do you account for that?"
"So is the shadow of a griddle,"
was the bland reply, "which is the
flattest thing on earth,"
Shaw tells us that he himself
finally joined in the debate, to de-
clare that the lecturer had answer-
ed and silenced all his opponents,
"who had only picked up and par-
roted a string of statements . they
had never thought out or verified."
11c added, however, that, "having
followed the lecturer's ,argument
• closely," he "thought it led to the
conclusion that the earth is shaped
like a cylinder."
"Oblate Spheroid"
Typically Shavian, of course, and
many angry letters reached hint as
a result of this blasphemy against
scientific orthodoxy, This widely
held scientific theory is, to use the
technical term, that`the earthy is an
"oblate -spheroid." This means that
it is not a perfect sphere, but flat-
tened at the poles, The view of
primitive Man was that the earth
was a flat plane, or a circular disc,
The • profound minds of the
Greeks began to penetrate the
mystery and with Newton and the
highly accurate apparatus now
available to observers, the theory
has been proved to most people's
satisfaction,
Strange Cargoes
Animal Stowaways
There are plenty of stowaways
in the animal world. This is evident
from the large number that conte
to light at various docks; most
of them taken from consignments
of fruit or grain newly arrived from
some tropical country,
One of the most frequent stow-
aways is the bird -eating spider of
South America, which usually
chooses to travel among fruit sent
from that country; but there are
also records of lizards, beetles,
mice, tree -frogs, and even quite
large snakes "conning. in similar
fashion.
One of the toughest was a lizard
which went over from Africa, hid-
den away among some bales of
esparto grass (used in the making
of paper).
On arrival in England the grass
went to a big paper mill up in the
north, where it remained untouched
for about three months. When at
length the bales were opened, out
scuttled the lizard, in as good a
condition, apparently, as he had
been when he quitted his African
shores several months previously!
There was, also, the little Moor-
ish gecko or lizard which went,
over recently from the same part
of the world.
In this case 'a cargo -boat had
arrived at the London Docks with
a freight of bones, As there were
many rats on board, professional
rat-catchers were called in, and
while working down in a hold they
saw the gecko. They caught it and
later sent it to the London Zoo.
The Zoo authorities were surpris-
ed at the excellent condition of this
stowaway. He was so fat and well- .
fed that . it • was some time before
he could be persuaded to take a
meal.
But the secret of his condition
was not so very hard to guess. The •
bone cargo had attracted thousands
of flies, and the gecko had doubt-
less done himself very well on
these.
Snakes can go for long periods
on very little food, and, as "stow-
aways" among bananas, occasion-
ally undergo lengthy fasts.
Most of these reptiles only conte
to light when the fruit is being
cut up in warehouses before being
sent out to the retailers, as was.

New Hospital Opens Doors To Children—Thanks to the generosity of thousands of Canadians
the new Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto was opened officially January 15. Leading
officials of Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments, which gave substantial grants
towards constructing and equipping the 632 -bed, ultra modern, child treatment and research
centre, participated in the official opening along with several children, symbolic of thousands
who have been returned to health through the services of the 75 -year-old hospital.
constrictor turned up unexpectedly
in a Glasgow warehouse.
One "stowaway" from,
the \Vest
Indies, 'however, a green tree viper
(emphatically not the type one
would wish to keep as a pet) had a
much longer run for its money. It
was not discovered until the fruit
in which it lay was placed in a
cellar beneath a fruit dealers shop.
When found, and identified by a
local naturalist, its fate was sealed;
it was killed on the spot, despite
the appeals, of the storekeeper's
little daughter that she might "play
with it." •
Few stowaways have much mone-
tary value, but once a small insect
called an opal tortoise beetle arrived
among fruit from the West Indies.
Shaped somewhat like a tortoise, it
was no biggerthan a halfpenny,'but
it looked like a living gens, so dazz-
ling were its colours.
It was soon sold to the Zoo,
where for a time; it was displayed
in an illuminated glass cylinder
which showed off its beauty to
perfection.
Another stowaway which had
some intrinsic value turned up not
long ago at Southhampton Docks.
This was a tiny , piebald mouse,
called.a Sumiclsrast's night mouse,
because the species rarely moves
about by day.
This one did, however. As soon
as he lcnew he was spotted he fled.
But the unpackers were quicicer
than he was, and soon had hint
safely "in custody."
Hunt Organised
A tropical spider found not long
ago at London Docks was sent
to the Zoo together with a bundle
of tiny eggs which it was carrying
between its forelegs.
Because she was plainly, about to
become a mother, this new arrival
was kept under observation at the
insect house laboratory. She hatch-
ed her brood soon afterwards.
And what a job that gave the
curator! As soon as the baby spiders
were on their legs they began run-
ning all over the place. Several got
out of the house, and a hunt had
to be organised to round them up,
One of the largest animal stow-
aways was a Diana monkey, and
the odd thing about this animal
was 'that it had gone to England
as the pet of a human stowaway.
Its owner, a Spanish sailor, was
found, with his monkey, when the
vessel berthed,"aud'both were taken
in charge. Unfortunately that was
where the sailor and his pet had to
part 'company, temporarily, Police
took the than off to jail and de- -
posited his monkey al the Zoo.

Darkness Descended
'And Earth Trembled
About 3,500 years ago the whole
world reeled under a catastrophe
that appalled mankind. The surface
of the earth trembled, tempests
raged, darkness descended when
there should have been daylight, and
a mysterious red ash covered the
ground. The air became hot and
stifling. Disease decimated the
population.
The facts have been handed
down by ancient historians who
were living in different parts of
the world at the time of this strange
happening.
The Old Testament particularly
goes into graphic detail, stating in
the book of Exodus that "the
river stank," that "small dust" fell
like "ashes of the furnace."
Trees were destroyed, crops
ruined, and "the dust of the land
became lice throughout all the land
of Egypt." •
In the panic and confusion one
of the greatest mysteries of re-
corded history occurred.
The Israelites, persecuted beyond
endurance by the Pharaohs, fled
frons Egypt and reached the shores
of the Red Sea.
Rain of Dust
The Bible relates how its waters
miraculously opened before thein
so that they could cross on the
sea bed to the other side.
When they had done so the
waters closed again, engulfing a
host of pursuing Egyptians,
Modern science has just put for -
wart an amazing theory to explain
these strange events which have
puzzled mankind for centuties.
The catastrophe described in the
Bible and elsewhere is thought to
have been caused by a giant comet,
thrown off by the planet Jupiter,
conning close to the earth and en-
veloping our planet with its gase-
ous tail.
Scientists say that this would
cause a rain of line red dust to
fall on the earth, explaining the
Biblical statement (Exodus 7:20)
that "All the wafers that were in
the river were turned to blood,"
and that there fell "a very grievous
bail, such as hath not been in
Egypt since the foundations."
(Exodus 9:18).
They, Egyptian 'historian, 1putver,
confirms this with the words, he
wrote on papyrus: "The river is
blood. Plague is throughout the
land, Blood is everywhere."
The plague was caused by , a
phenomenal increase in the num-
bers of disease -carrying insects due
to the sudden rise in temperature
resulting from the hot gases of
the corset enveloping the earth.
The Bible says: "And there carte
a grievous swarm of flies." Dark-
ness, descended over all the earth
and "locusts carte, and caterpillars,
and ... did eat up all the herbs,"
Ancient Persian manuscripts des-
cribe the trembling of the earth
caused by the warring in the hea-
vens of celestial bodies, and add
that "noxious creatures were dif-
fused over the earth, biting and
venomous, not leaving sp much as
the pin or a needle free of them,"
But how does science explain the
dividing of the waters of the Red
Sea?
Oceans Lifted
By referring to the terrific gravi-
tational pull a comet the size of
the earth would have when it came
into close proximity with our world.
It must have lifted the oceans
mountains high, for even a small
satellite like the moon is capable
of lifting the oceans and causing
what we know as tides.
The sudden 'closing of the waters
on the pursuing Egyptians could
have been caused by tremendous
electrical discharges taking place
from the cornet to the earth at
their nearest point of approach.
Scientists say this would result
in a sudden weakening. of gravita-
tional attraction, and the 'suspended
waters would rush back to their
original positions.

of Los Angeles, has been granted
a divorce because her husband
spent his nights with an adding -
machine working out his income

Big Conference Of
Canadian Jewry
Samuel Bronfman, national pre-
sident of the Canadian Jewish Con-
gress, has called a national con-
ference of Canadian Jewry for
January 21 and 22, at the Mount
Royal Hotel in Montreal to deal
with the emergency situation con-
fronting Israel arising out of its
vast immigration and resettlement
programme. Associated with the
Canadian Jewish Congress in spon-
soring this conference are the Zion-
ist organisations in Canada, the
Canadian Committee of Welfare
Funds and the Canadian Lodges
of the Baal 13ritls. '\rise distinguish-
ed Israeli diplomat, Aubrey h:han,
and Robert Nathan, Jewish Agency
economist, will be the guests of the
National Conference for Israel.
The conference is being convened
for the purpose of calling upon
every Jewish community in Canada
to collect quickly outstanding
pledges, to intensify support for
campaigns and to set early dates
for the 1951 campaign. The spon-
sors of the national conference point
to Israel's need for private capital
investment, government aid to
Israel and the proceeds of voluntary
campaigns on a larger scale than
heretofore. The conference will
decide on the goal for 1931 United
Israel Appeal and the setting up
of machinery- to implement the re-
solutions adopted.
The urgency of this conference
was. emphasized at a meeting of
the Canadian delegates to the re •
-
cent Washington Conference on
Israel Reconstruction, The Zionist
organizations of Canada requested
the Canadian Jewish Congress to
convene such a conference. After
the Congress executive voted to
take the leadership on this ques-
tion the Canadian Committee of
Welfare Funds was invited to act
as co-sponsors. Plans for the Janu-
ary conference` were formulated
after the national meeting of the
welfare funds in Washington at the
beginning of December.
When Real Lions
Roamed Britain
Zoologists have discovered that
the British lion, symbol of the
might of the British Conmon-
weath and Empire, is no myth, as
is commonly supposed, but has a
foundation in fact. Lions' teeth and
bones have been found in the Men-
dip Hills, and remains of lions of.
every age arc now reposing in sone
museums. .
It is thought that the lion once
existed there in great numbers,
Fourteen raves and sixteen river
deposits in England have yielded
lions' bones.
The lion began to nttsltiply in
Britain after the last Ice Age and
remained plentiful down to the tine
when the first hunters with their
flint weapons, began to pit their
superior skill against- hies.
The climate was probably much
the same as it is now, and the coun-
try was covered with dense woods
in which an abundance of small
game dwelt.
The lion vanished by retreating
southwards, harried by the spears
of the hunters of ancient Britain,
and only finally disappeared from
the south -cast corner of Europe
since the beginning of the present
historical era dating from the birth
of Christ.
