Department would be glad to give cv•
cry assistance if a re -building program
was undertaken.
Mr. Farrish stated that insurance on
the building and equipment amounted
to $27,000.00. I -Ie referred to the hard
work that had gone in to the building,
equiping,. and maintaining of the local
industry since it was started in 1945,
The money that people had invested
would be worth much more if the lac.,
tory was rebuilt than it would other-
wise be. Ata tweeting of the Directors
following the fire they were all- in fav-
our of rebuilding. They considered the
factory of definite value to everyone
int the district. Factory and farm sup-
ply building should be considered when
replacing as -both go hand in hand,
Mr. Gcorgc Watt, a Director and
Past President of the Association, was
next speaker, and expressed his pleas-
ure with the large attendance. In
saying that the town and country alike
both needed the industry in question,
hf r. \Vitt said he spoke as a producer,,
not a Director. Everyone he had talk-
ed with was in favour of rebuilding,
He spoke of the' trading advantages,
and said that stores missed the pro-
ducts produced by. the factory. Mr.
Watt reminded those present of the
loss of their Charter and Butter Per-
mit should the factory not be rebuilt.
IIe said that the Association had been'
paying through intake plans during
a large portions of their existence
which was an expensive way of fin.
arcing. The financial position had co
improved that this was no longer ne-
cessary,
Mr, Farrish threw the meeting open
for discussion, In reply to a question
he said that re-equipping would cost
around .$11003. Roof and ceiling for
the plant was estimated also at be-
tween $5003 and $5000 complete. The
curing- roost was practically intact
which fact was a large consideration
in rc-building.
The question as, to the exact assets
available for a re -Wilding program
was 'difficult to answer, solid Mr. Far -
The community was shocked to
learn- of Uhc passing on Tuesday morn-
ing, Dec. 4, of Orton Stubbs. Mr. Stubbs
who lived alone, was found dead in
his home just before Il o'clock in
the morning by Messrs. Jim -Armstrong
and Donald McNall, who went to the
house at that time to see that he was
all right. I -Ie had been in failing health,
particularly 'during the past year, and
was in his 76th year.
The late Mr. Stubbs was horn in
Luther Township, a few utiles front
Mount Forest. I -Ie was a son of Wil-
liam Stubbs and Mary Parke. He was
never ,married and lived with his par-
ents during most of his early life. For
a few. years he was associated in the
ownership .of a grocery store business
at Cedarville after the homestead faint
was disposed of, About 32 years ago
he moved to Blyth, with his sister, the
late Miss Alice Stubbs who died in
1938, and a brother, William who died
in 1934. Mr. Stubbs was the last sur-
viving member of a fancily 'of eight,
When they carne to Blyth they
bought out the livery business of the
late \\rm, Johnston which they operat-
ed until the building was destroyed by
fire, Mr. Stubbs also owned a farm in
East Wawanosh township which he
worked, and only recently sold to Mr.
Edgar I-Iowatt.
I -Ie is survived by two nieces, Mrs.
Mary Ferguson, of St. Catharines, and
Mrs. Roy Jeffries, of Jasper, Alta.
The funeral will be held on Saturday
afternoon, December 8th, from the
Tasker Memorial Chapel, at 3 o'clock.

The forearms are to a lesser ex-
tent also employed for offensive
purposes, and many instances have
been recorded of dogs being seized
within their grasp and then held
under water until drowned,
A year or two back only his
knife saved a man from serious in-
jury and possible death when he
was attacked by a seven -foot kan-
garoo on a sheep station in New
South Wales.
Sprinting for a wire fence, the
farmer tried to obtain a grip on
the beast's tail, but the kangaroo
swung around and seized the man
with its forepaws. It was about to
rend him with the sharp nails of
its hind feet when he whipped out
his sheath -knife and cut the kan-
garoo's throat.
It is amazing that a beast of this
size should develop from a creature
little more than an inch long. For
this is the size of a newly born
kangaroo.
They Live In Trees
There are several types of kan-
garoos, which occupy different parts
of the continent, some being wood-
landers like deer, others living in
the open like antelopes, or on the
mountains like goats.
Tree kangaroos are found in the
north of Australia and in New
Guinea, while at least one species
frequents low-lying land subject
to floods, hopping through shallow
water and crossing rivers of con-
siderable width and depth.
Kangaroos can be used for food
and in times of scarcity a slice of
its steak or a basin of the thick
brown soup made from its tail is
quite palatable.

Wheat King — Holding a sheaf of his prize-winning Marquis
Wheat, world's champion wheat king, 21 year-old Howard Rop-
pel of Rockyford, Alta., wears his crown of victory over last year's
winner, 13 -year-old Rickey Sharpe, Howard will have his name
engraved on the Canadian National Railways' giant wheat trcphy
which he won in competition at the Royal Agricultural Winter
Fair. At presentation ceremonies he received an engraved silver
tray and a cheque for $100.
The Greeks had a word for it,
The worts was "athlete" and its
original meaning was "one who
competes for a prize." And in the
early (lays that prize consisted of
a whole lot of applause and a small
but tasty wreath of laurel,
* * *
At the start those Grecian run-
ners, jumpers, wrestlers and so
forth felt themselves well rewarded
with such prizes. But after 'a while
one of the boys—we suspect he
was a wrestler, but neither his
name or trade have come down to
us—began to talk to himself, and
his fellow -athletes, something like
as follows: * * *
"We gotta admit that all this
applause is mighty pleasant to the
ears and those wreaths look very
distinguished. Still, when you come
right down to it, three rousing
cheers aren't nearly as thirst -
quenching as a coupla scuttles of
the brew, and chew them how you
will those laurel leaves will never
take the place of a platter of
ham -and -eggs as a steady diet."
(You will understand, we hope, this
is a free—very free—translation.)
* * *
Anyway, five centuries before the
very first Christmas, those Greek
athletes were taking it in cash.
Amateurism was dead, and sports
competition was almosentirely
among professionals, And more
and more it begins to look as
though practically all sports com-
petition, especially in the United
States, is among professionals as
well. Some of them take it openly;
some under the table, But about
the only real amateurs left are
those who aren't good enough to
demand pay, or who compete in
sports where there isn't any gate.
* * *
Here in Canada, our college ath-
letics have kept free—or fairly free
—from the smears that are blacken-
ing the face of college sport south
of the border, Not, perhaps, as free
as the outsider might think; but
still, not so bad. And it is to be
"Mane" Thing Is To Be Neat—Tropical Park Race Track's barber
shop for horses, in Miami, is getting plenty of customers these
days. Here, owner and trainer John Leyland's son, Jackie, holds
"River Scotch," as Francis Flynn gives the animal the shop's five
buck haircut,
hoped that the heads of our univer-
sities and colleges—the heads, we
said, not the coaches -are fully
aware of what is going on in the
States, where the whole structure
of college sport is shaking to its
very foundation.
* * *
Down in "the greatest nation on
the face of the earth" college ath-
letics is a multi-million dollar busi-
ness with much fake -professional-
ism. For decades it has been com-
mon knowledge that many college
athletes are connpensated for play-
ing—in tuition, board, "expense
money," and so on, The condition
has been brought about, it is gene-
rally believed, by these influences:
the demands • of alumni, who want
alma mater to win; the profits from
"big-time" college sports, which
help pay for minor sports and bal-
ance college budgets; college ad-
ministrators' belief that • winning
teams attract students.
* * *
Twice this year the United States
has been shocked by disclosures of
dishonesty in connection with sports
on the college level. First came the
revelation that basketball players
for several New York City and
Midwestern colleges took bribes to
"fix" games for professional galnlb-
lers. Then came the revelation that
most of the West Point football
team had conspired to cheat on
examinations to avoid flunking out,
* * *
A couple of weeks ago the situa-
tion Was documented further. In
New York Judge Saul Streit sen-
tenced a gambler 1(Salvatore Sol-
lazzo) and five former basketball
players to jail for bribery and gave
nine other players suspended sen-
tences. Before passing sentence,
Judge Streit said that his investiga-
tions had produced these case his-
tories on some of the players:
* * *
Player No. 1 graduated 638th in
high school class. of 816, with aver-
age of 70.43. Was scouted by New
York University, then by City Col-
lege of New York. Records at City
College now show high school
average of 75.5. "This discrepancy
has never been explained," Judge
Streit said.
* * *
Player No. 2 was recruited by C.
C.N.Y. High school mark§ were
"too low" and he was "ineligible
for admission". \Vas admitted, how-
ever, and C.C.N,Y, fiiles now show
"10 -point discrepancy" from high
school records and "signs o( altera-.
tion." * * *
Player No. 3 was scouted for
Long Island University, offered
"tuition", a room, books, four meal
books a week, valued at $5 each,
and a job." \Vas not required to
work at job, got $5 or $10 a week
extra for "good athletic perform-
ance." * **
Judge Streit said it was up to the
colleges to rid themselves of the
"evil of comntercialism and over-
emphasis." There were quick re-
buttals from some campuses. Clair
Bee, basketball coach at L.I.U., said
"I would do it the same way again
, , The subsidization of players—
that's traditional."
* * *
Other officials acknowledged that
the college should do something,
C,C.N,Y, acted promptly; it is a
municipal, tuitionless college where
enrolment is limited and competi-
tive, and where scholastic standards
are unusually high. The college an-
nounced that athletic policy would
be changed for a "return to amateur
sports," It acknowledged that there
had been falsification of basketball
players' scholastic records, and in-
vestigations are under way.
* * *
The Streit findings coincided with
a meeting in Washington of a com-
mittee of ten university presidents
set up by the American Council
on Education to study college ath-
letic problems in the light of the
recent scandals. On Tuesday the
committee agreed that as a first
step "all responsibility" for the
conduct of college sports should
be assumed by college presidents
—as opposed, plainly, to alumni,
* * *
Altogether, it is, a sorry asituation
and we in Canada would do well to.
see that our own house is in order.
When a university coach is more
widely known and better pail) than
a professor or president, there's
danger in the offing.
Got A Skeleton
In Your Bathroom?
Possibly there may .be two or
even three skeletons, They may not
rattle, but they may be there. 13e -
cause the bathroom sponge is a
skeleton.
Once it was part of an animal
that lived• and breathed and had
skin, flesh, and it even had a liquid
that passes for blood.
Twenty thousand different types
of sponge exist in the world, but
only sixteen have skeletons that
can be used in the bathroom. They
live in sea water and often attach
themselves to rocks on the sea bed.
When gathered they are offensive -
smelling masses of substance re-
sembling rubber, and they vary
in color from a greyish yellow to
dark brown or black.
Sponge -fishing is carried out in
many parts of the world, but the
'most valuable sponges come from,
"Cyprus and islands of the eastern
Mediterranean.
The season lasts from June to
'September.
Operating in tiny calques from
the port of Kyrenia, the chief cen-
tre of Cyprus's rich sponge -fishing
industry, the divers don crude div-
ing masks and slip over the side
with a weight in their hands. This
quickly drags them clown to the
sea bed.
So that they can signal to the
crew above, each diver has a life-
line, which he tugs if anything goes
wrong.
Having reached the sea bed,
about 40 fathoms down, the diver
crawls over it, every now and then
grabbing a sponge and placing it
in a net which billows out behind
The raw sponges are spread out
on the deck and beaten with sticks,
Then they arc trampled on, the
crew using their bare feet. Gradu-
ally the tissues and the skin conte
away from the skeleton and after
repeated washings in the sea the
skeletons are strung up on strings
about six feet long anti trailed in
the water over the vessel's, side.
When every particle of tissue
and skin is removed the sponges
arc tied to the rails and masts of
the boat to dry and bleach in the
sun, and are then ready for export,
Sponges have no eyes and no
brains as we understand the word.
They absorb food from sea water
in the form of tiny living marine
organisms.
GOD'S INTEREST IN MAN
Man is no stranger to God. But
God is a stranger to many men' and
women, Why? Perhaps it's because
God seems disinterested,far off
and indifferent to what becomes of
us. How often do we hear—"Why
doesn't God stop wars?" Or again,
"Why doesn't God make people
good?" These questions trouble
the minds of those who know nei-
ther God nor man,
Man is no stranger to God, God
pursues man. He has been called
—"The Hound of Heaven," And
God's interest an(I concern for the
family of elan is revealed in what
He has done for man.
Foolishly, man in Adapt broke
off friendship with God. But God
taking the Tong view, with an eye
to unborn generations, selected the
Jews as an officer's training corps.
Through His appointed teachers,
the Prophets, the Jews canoe to
know much about God. Proper
conduct was explained to them.
And they were led to cultivate
God's friendship through sacrifi-
cial worship.
In the fullness of time the last
of the Prophets was born—John
the Baptist. 11c announces a new
era that began with the birth of
Christ. The Jews had been pre-
pared for this moment, From now
on God through Christ, would
include the world in His special
interest. To the ends of the earth
and to the end of tinge God would
pursue man, For His officers, the
Apostles,. were to train others as
He had trained then. They were
to teach His will and convey His
help to all the world till its .end,
This is Christ's Church. No, God
has not, forgotten -man. And the
Catholic -Church has much more
to say about—"The Hound of
Heaven,"
This is one of a series of
messages by Father V. McGivney,
Parish Priest, St, Francis Parish,

. THE SEAL OF
CHRISTMAS
One of the first signs of Christmas
1 is the arrival of Christmas Scats,
which remind us that even in Canada,
one of the half dozen countries in the
▪ world's lowest 'I'13 death rates, we
still have to fight tuberculosis,
Now we know there are those who
object to the idea of Christmlas being;
i mixed up with disease, They want all
to be mirth and jollity. Well, mirth
.1, and jollity are wonderful. The catch
▪ is that they have to be arranged for a
long way ahead, If we want all to be
1 litiht and laughter we must forestall
the unhappy events that blight it so
▪ far as it's possible to (lo so.
1 If the day before Christmas is an
average day as far as '1'13 is concerned`
there will be ten deaths in Canada
from this cause that (lay. It will have
been the same all tlirou -A December,
i For the year the total has been about
4,000. :That means many, Iiomles where
there won't be mulch singing, Because
These cases of tilherculcsis were not
1 prevented two, three, perhaps ten
years ago this will not be a marry
ii Christmas. Now is the lime for us to
.
prevent similar sadness two, three or
five years front now,
i
13th let us look at the ori :llt side of
the picture, There wcrc twice as
many homes saddened by death from
'1'13 in Christmas of 1'3l as there w'Il
be this Christmas. That means that
thousands of faniilics seal be joyous,
1 with never a. thought that drtn;cr was
i averted, 'That's fine, 'I'11at's' the way
Christmas should be, 'I'hat's the way We
: want to snake it for everyone,
'
The Santa who looks at tis from this
yew's Christmas Seal certainly looks
merry enough -and well he may.. He's
on the Christmas Seals and they have
been paying dor '1'I; prevention which
has made 1t possible for a great 111a113'
people to feel Mirthful and jo'ly, 'rimy
will go right 'on preventing '1'11 right
here in 1luroti County, Our part is to
buy them so that they will get a ,
chance to keep up their good work,
Last Year the sale of Seals in the
County of Huron lunonnted to $5125.85,
1 it is helped- that in 1931 sales wit be
Much greater.' The 'costs of the A.sso-
dation will be greater in 1931 because
a' County -wide Mass X-ray survey is
I to be conducted. 'Support the work of

The plight of the wife who is
married to an older man and misses
the good times she used to have,
has aroused other readers to alarm.

"Please let me

dren. My husband is only four
years older, but he is a fireside -and -
slipper guy, too. Most men are, no
matter how carefree they seem be-
fore they marry.
"NO FLIRTATIONS!"
"Tell her not to start the flirta-
tion she contemplates. That only
ends in more heartache, and the
loss of everything you hold dear.
"If it had not been for God's
mercies, I would be on the outside
looking in. If she will pray for
help, she will find all the content=
ment she has lost."
Another reader adds:
"I married an older man, too.
But in all these 16 years, we have
been as happy in each other's
companionship as when we first
married. I did not expect the
courtship days to last a lifetime,
and neither should she. Marriage
is a give-and-take proposition; you
get out of it exactly what you put
in.

When a wife puts everything she
has into marriage, she gets it
back a hundredfold. But when
she thinks only of her own de-
sires, she is bound to be discon-
tented, for she cheats her hus-
band and her children of the un-
selfish love and companionship
they have the right to expect.
If she did not intend to carry
to carry out her responsibilities,
she should never have married.
Thank you both, warmly, for
your interest. The experience of
others who have faced the same
problems often carries more
weight, I believe, than any warn-
ing I can offer.
This wife needs to know what
other wives, in the same circum-
stances, think of her. Let us all
hope she takes your letters to
heart.

5 -year-old Wouldn't
Eat His Potatoes
I was dismayed! When I offered
potatoes to five-year-old David,
whether baked, mashed, or crearn-
ed, he refused them and I felt all
my efforts were in vain writes L.
13. in The Christian Science Moni-
tor.
Then one 'day I asked hint if
he'd like " 'tato in a shell." He was
full of enthusiasm as he watched
me plash the potato, season it
with butter and salt, and then fill
the two baked skin halves -the
shell. It was a -delicious luncheon
treat.
\Vhen we had mashed potatoes
I used sty thinking cap to over-
rule a vehement "no" by filling
an ice create cone with a scoop
of potato all seasoned with salt,
butter, and a dash of paprika. I
presented it to outstretched hands!
Next I learned that creamed po-
tatoes which were in a dixie cup
were a joyous surprise and tasted
so delicious that David passed the
cup back, saying, "Fill my shell
again, please."
Cocoa had an added appeal when
a marshmallow boat was floating
in the cup,.
A surprise picture was pasted on
the bottom of David's glass of milk,
It was quickly and completely fin-
ished in order to see what had
been put there,

HRONICLES
R9RFAIRI
All last week I was hoping
against hope to pay a visit to the
Royal 'Winter Fair -and every day
that possibility grew dimmer and
dimmer. How could I leave home
when we had a bricklayer here re-
building our huge kitchen chim-
ney, and or course having his din-
ners here. Partner couldn't be
around all the time -he was too
busy at the barn -so I had to be on
call t'. give any information that
was required. That was from Mon-
day to Friday inclusive . , and
then came the clearing up. Partner
had the scaffolding and a pile ,.of
sooty bricks to cart away 'while I
had dust and smuts to contend
with in the house. But, after giv-
ing the order over a year ago, we at
last have a chimney that doesn't
let in daylight through the bricks
and doesn't puff out smoke every
few minutes if a west wind is blow-
ing. That has been happening for
years. But our new chimney is
quite a bit higher than th old one
so it doesn't catch the down -draught
from the main roof of the Louse.
On Saturday, while there was still
plenty to do, along came Bob, The
remainder of the lumber was moved
in a hurry -and• then we went to
the big Fair, taking two of our
neighbours along with us. Partner
did not want to go .so we left him
to enjoy his hockey broadcast.
From the Fair I phoned Daugh-
ter -to discover that she had been
trying to get my by long distance all
afternoon. Partner's brother Colin
was at her house, en -route for the
farm. It all fitted in nicely like
pieces of jig -saw puzzle. \Ve collec-
ted Colin after the Fair and brought
)tint home with us. But it could
so easily have .happened otherwise.
Even if Daughter had not been
speaking to me Colin intended com-
ing otit on the midnight train.
Neither of them remembered that
on Saturdays there is no midnight
train!
We had a grant time at the Royal
-walked miles looking at horses,
cattle, pigs, sheep and poultry.
Friends of ours from Montreal
were showing eight head of beef
cattle so we had a visit with them
-but we steered clear of the huge
bull that they were prettying up for
the show ring. As we walked
through the barns we wondered
how Many millions of dollars were
there on the hoof. The sunt total
must have been colossal, In the
Jersey barn a little boy, probably
about five, came running up to us,
"Look,"file said, "there's a baby, calf
over there -just 15 minutes old
and down there there's four more
babies, all in one pen." We were
aroused , the little boy was so
excited and wanted everyone to see
what he had seen, Arid the calves
were certainly cute enough to please
anyone -just as cute as the little
Ayrshire that was born in our own
barn last night.
The horses were grand. Now
that we ,work only with tractors.
trucks, combines and balers it was
nice to walk through the stables and
to realize that horses did still exist.
We were conscious of a slight nos=
talgia for the good old farming
days when farming was a way of
living rather than a way to make a
living, which was more or less incl.
dental. How we used to love our
horses, I don't see how anyone
can become really attached lO a
tractor -not in the Way one gets at-
tached to a team of horses. And
yet, loving horses, we must still
work with tractors , , , for us there
is no other way.
The coninlercial exhibits were in-
teresting -if only as a demonstra-
tion of the ease with which one can
spend money The mechanized
chick feeder left me cold , . , a
slow, automatic self-feeding trough.
When I raise chicks I enjoy watch-
ing and feeding them. I like to get
acquainted with my little biddies.
And they with me. I like to have
them come running directly I come
within sight and sound.
But there was one gadget that
was entirely to my liking -an elec-
tric egg -washer. Eggs are placed
in a huge wire basket and the
basket set in a special metal tub.
And then a spray of detergent water
is turned on -and presto! The eggs
are clean. Any one who has spent
hours cleaning eggs will agree that
this method of handling then) is a
great improvement. • I have always
understood that eggs should not be
washed, but apparently times have
changed again. Now if you have the
right equipment, use the right de-
tergent, have water at the right
temperature, and can afford to buy
this gadget, then it's all right to
wash eggs. But we have only 50
pullets so, for the present, I'll stay
with the steel wool!

Edward Lear wrote a nonsense
rhyme about "going to sea in a
sieve,",a most impractical means of
transport, but in the near future
a great many people will be putting
out to sea in glass boats.
Glass ha:i, numerous advantages
over wood as a ship -building mater-
ial; and though we may have
doubts, remember that our ances-
tors scoffed when,'about 100 years
agO, metal superseded wood. Glass
has the advantage of being mould -
cd; it does not -warp and' split;
it is proof against both dry and
wet rot; it does not absorb water
and needs no paint. This boat -
building glass is 2/ times as•strong
as the finest aluminum alloys and
5 times as strong as mild steel.
Those who go to sea in glass
vessels need have no fear that they
will split at the slightest bump;
for a 12 -ft. dinghy was hurled
from a skyscraper in New York on.
to a concrete' pavement, and then
taken out on the Hudson. The fact
that such boats weigh only about
60 lbs. and are much cheaper
than wooden boats, should make
Them popular.
Travelling along, watching sea
,life through the bottom of ' the
boat -for special magnifying glass

experience.

Life Was Tougher
A Century Ago
Did you know what Queen Vic-
toria's husband 'died of in 1861?
Would you be surprised to hear that
the sanitary arrangements in Buck-
ingham'Palace were such a menace
to health that the Government dart
not let the public know the truth?
Prince Albert died of typhoid
fever, and this is what Sir Lyon
Playfair wrote in his memoirs years
afterwards:
"'l'hc condition of Buckingham
Palace was so bad that the Govern-
ment never dared to publish my
report, A great main sewer 'ran
through the courtyard, and the
whole Palace was in untrapped con-
nection with it,
"To illustrate this, I painted a
small room on the basement floor
with white lead, and showed that it
had blackened next morning."
Romantic Thames!
• A year after Queen Victoria had
conte to the throne it had been
suggested that Parliament should' be
moved from tlie Palace of West-
minster because of --the dreadful
stench from the Thames and from
St. Margaret's churchyard; and in
1844, more than forty overflowing
cesspools were discovered under
Windsor Castle.
With such conditions rife
throughout the country, it was
scarcely surprising that more than
half the children born in large
manufacturing towns never reached
the age of five and that in 1874, 50,-
000 people died of typhus.
There was not a single Medical
Officer of Health in, the country
until 1841, and until ten years after
that Parliament had not passed one
measure in the interests of public
health: "The English," said The
Times, "prefer to take the chance
of cholera and the rest rather than
be bullied into health."
•In the year of the Prince Con-
sort's death the Secretary of State
for War, the Under-Secretary and
the Assistant Under-Secretary all
died within, a few months of one
another owing to what were called
"the awful insanitary conditions of
the War Office."
Twenty years later most of
London's 250,000 houses still had
cesspools beneath them.
These grim facts, ,and a great
many others, appear in a recently
published book, "The Day Before
Yesterday" by J. W. Robertson
Scott.
A shocking feature of life in
Britain 100 years ago was the re-
fusal to adroit scientific progress.
And all over the country women
and children worked under appall-
ing conditions.
An official report described
women working in • a Cumberland
coal -mine as "chained, b e 1 t.e d,
harnessed like dogs in a go-cart,
black; saturated with wet and more
than half -naked."
Children of all ages were em-
ployed down the mines, the oldest
to carry coal, younger ones to
mind the ventilation doors, and
even tiny toddlers to,keep away the
rats froin their parents' food.
Conditions were little better
twenty years later, when Cardinal
Cullen told the Royal Commission
on Irish Education that he was
against the masses learning more
than reading, writing and simple
arithmetic.
In general, the attitude of the
Church towards social reform was
deplorable, Its 1810 seven bishops
voted against a Bill to abolish
hanging for stealing an article valu-
ed at, 5s. or over. The Bishops voted
21 to 2 against the Reform Bill of
1832—and the Bill left five men
out of six still without a.vote.
"Such things as railway roads and
telegraphs are impossible and rank
infidelity," wrote a clerical critic of
the 40's. "There is nothing in the
word of God about them, and if
God had designed his intelligent
creatures to travel at the frightful
speed of 15 miles an hour by steam
it would have been foretold by one
of his holy prophets, These are the
devices' of Satan to lead immortal .
souls to hell"
Photographic Mystery. Creates Sensation -This picture, which appeared in the Ashland (Ky.) Daily
Independent, was represented to that newspaper as an actual photograph taken in the sky over
Korea. The Independent ran the picture on a Sunday and the entire edition of 14,000 copies was
quickly sold out, with people clamoring for more. Two .weeks later, also on a Sunday. the paper
ran the picture again and again the entire edition was snapped up. Readers sent clippings to
friends and the Independent has been receiving hundreds of letters from all over the country. Ac-
cording to the information received by the paper, an Air Force man from Chicago took pictures
of an American and a Communist plane during a combat patrol. He sent the films home to Chi-
cago to be developed. To the amazement of everyone, including the flyer, the image of Christ,
supposedly formed by clouds, showed up on one of the photos. A neighbor of the Air Force
man's family in Chicago sent a print to his brother in Ashland. Someone there finally mailed it
to the Independent. Actual origin of the picture is a mystery so far, because the names of the Air
Force man and of the Chicago neighbor family are unknown.
Another reverend gentleman call-
ed Chloroform, when .used for
women in childbirth, "a decoy of
Satan, apparently offering itself to
bless women but which would rob
Cod of' the deep, earnest cries for
help in time of trouble."
But when it came to advancing
the rights of her own sex the Queen
was a bad as any bishop. As late
as 1870 there was no' legal protec-
tion for girls once they reached the
age of ten. It was much harder for
a woman to obtain a divorce than
it was for a man, and no woman
could legally own any property,
much less, of course, vote.
And yet we have I -Ter Majesty,
writing, "The ' Queen is most
anxious to enlist everyone who can
speak or write in checking this mad,
wicked following of "Women's
Rights,' with all its attendant
horrors, on which her poor, feeble
sex is bent, forgetting every sense
of a womanly feeling and propriety.
It is a subject which makes the
Queen so furious that she cannot
contain herself!"

"Time Marches On" may be an accurate enough statement most of
the year;',but with the approach of the festive season it seems as though
"flies" would,be more appropriate than "marches," So without further
ado, let's get n to the subject of that turkey.

Giblets
Cook giblets immediately after
cleaning. Cover gizzard and heart
with water, add 1 teaspoon salt,
1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1 small onion,
and a bay leaf, if desired, Simmer
2 to 3 hours or until tender. Cut
liver in half; add last % hour. Re-
frigerate unless used immediately.
Giblets may be chopped and added
to stuffing or gravy, or dice thein,
heat in gravy, and serve as a lun-
cheon dish.
Cook the neck about 1% hours
in salted water to cover. An aver-
age size neck yields about 1% cups
meat to use in creamed dishes or
sandwich fillings.

THESE SCOTS!
An American soldier spending
his leave in Scotland discovered a
fine collie dog and decided he need-
ed it. for his farm in Texas. He
asked the old shepherd to sell
him the dog.
"Wad ye be takin' him to Ameri-
ca?" the Scot asked.
"Yeah, to my ranch in Texas,"
replied the GI,
"Then I couldna part wi' the
dog," said the shepherd.
Then an English officer came.
along, admired the dog, and bought
it without a bit of trouble. This
nettled the 'Texan, who said: "Hey
Scotty, you told me you wouldn't
sell the dog, what's the big idea?"
"Na," replied the old Scot, "I
said I couldna part wi' him. The
dog'll be back shortly from Eng-
land but he couldna swim the At-
lantic I"
No, Comrade! It
Wasn't Marconi
Fifty-six years after the alleged
discovery, the U.S.S.R. rue claim-
ing the glory of having produced
the inventor of wireless telegraphy.
This claim was trade officially
from Moscow quite recently. Ac-
cording to it, on May 7th, 1895, a
Russian scientist, Alexander Popov,
demonstrated an apparatus for the
wireless transmission of messages,
and described his method in a sci-
entific journal in March, 1896. In
that year, the Russians cla:nt, Pop-
ov transmitted a telegram by wire-
less, the first of its kind ever
transmitted.
Rival Claimants
There has never yet been a great
and epoch-making invention that
has not produced rival claimants,
and wireless is no exception, The
world has accepted Marconi as
the undisputed inventor of the sys-
tem and will, one may be reason-
ably snip, always so regard him.
Of the validity of the Russian
claim nothing is yet known in
this country. But one question
arises: why has the claim been left
unmade for more than fifty years?
\Vhat of Marconi's claim? In the
early summer of 1895, he transmit-
ted wireless messages in his father's
garden, near Bologna, In 1896 he
came to England, and in June took
out the first patent for wireless
telegraphy.
Next, under the auspices of Sir
William Preece, chief engineer of
the Post Office, Marconi demon-
strated his method on Salisbury
Plain. These epoch-making scien-
tific marvels caused tremendous
excitement and universal interest.
Marconi was world famous.
But was he the .first man to
invent wireless? The first man to
transmit wireless messages?
In October, 1895, there /came
from New Zealand to the famous
Cavendish Laboratories, Cambridge,
a brilliant young scientist, Ernest
Rutherford. He carte as a research
student and he was already a D.Sc.
of Otago University, New Zealand.
What work should he attempt?
he asked the Director, the late
Sir J. J. Thomson, O.M.
"Try to transmit signals without
wires," suggest Thomson. •
Rutherford went to work. He
used a detector he had already in-
vented in New Zealand.
Later in the same year Ruther-
ford transmitted messages without
wires from one room in,tltc Labor-
atory to another. Before the year
was out he transmitted messages
between the Cavendish Laboratory
and his lodgings, three-quarters of
a mile away.
• So impressed was Sir J. J. Thom-
son with these results that he tried
to interest businessmen in their
commercial development. But all
those he approached were incredu-
lous and Rutherford went on with
other work. For him wireless had
little further interest.
The First Message
Well, there are the facts. Mar-
coni's first message was transmitted
in the early summer of 1895. Ru-
therford had already `invented his
detector in 1894 and sent his first
message in the fall of 1894. It is
a close thing,
Rutherford never took out one
single patent. He was indifferent
to priority claims and any sort
of commercialization of science. He
personally presented Marconi with
the gold medal of the Institute of
Electrical Engineers, and paid him
a handsome tribute.
This is what he said: "I may
recall that in my youthful days
in Cambridge I was myself inter-
ested in wireless waves, and de-
vised, in 1896, a simple magnetic
detector for these waves, 1 am glad
to know that Marconi was able to
develop and transform the germs
of this simple device into a reliable
detector."
And now comes Alexander Pop-
ov's claim, Strange, indeed, that
modesty should have withheld it
from the world for over fifty years!
—George Godwin in "Tit -Bits"
Honk, Honk, To You, Tool—Viewed over the hood of the photo-
grapher's car, a flock of slow-moving geese waddle nonchalantly
along. Only consolation for the fuming motorist following it the
thought that one of the birds, roasted and stuffed, might n.rbo
