only for their assistance from an or-

turn he was assured that the Board
would assist in the organization work
of the project.. -
The event is expected to create wide•

Ontario.
May 23rd has been set, and prelimin-
ary plans are already in motion for a
full day's agricultural show and film
display to be held at Blyth.
Meeting with the Board of Tracle on
Friday night, A. H. Wilford of ToronL
to outlined to a well -attended meeting
the plans for the event, which will be
sponsored by the Rutabaga Growers
and Processors of the Counties of
J3ruce, IIuron, Perth, Middlesex and
Oxford. Mr. Wilford explained that
Blyth had Been chosen as the sight be-
cause It is centrally located in the
midst of the rapidly expanding Hulas

has within its limits one of the most
modern and progressive processing

Something brand new in the way of
freaks was brought to The Standard
Office on Saturday •by Douglas Gib-
bons,
His grandfather and uncle, Alfred
and Cherie Machan were cutting wood
In Wilmer Howatt's bush and in cut-
ting down n„ horse chestnut tree they
were surprised to find imprinted m
the centre of• the block an inscription
which so much resembled an Indian
bedecked in headdress that they rut
several short blocks and brought .them
home. Other blocks took on the form
of a chicken's head, Three of the
blocks are now in our window.
Somebody made the suggestion that
years ago an Indian may have crawled
into the tree, but we hardly think so.
Champions Given Banquet
About 25 persons, comprising the
management, players, league president
and trophy donors, of the Blyth "Bush
League" hockey league sat down to a
banquet in the Commercial Hotel din-
ing room, Clinton, on Friday night,
The purpose of the event was to
suitably honor the members of the
Auburn hockey team who during the
season just closed, won the Philp- Ma-
dill I-Iockey Trophey, emblematic of
"Bush League" supremacy for the 1952-
53 season.
Following a most enjoyable banquet,
Wm. Craig acted as chairman, and cal-
led on Mr. Ray Madill to make the
trophy presentation. The trophy was
accepted by Bill McDonald, captain of
the team.
Short speeches were given by Mr,
William Empey, of Blyth, League
President, and R, D. Philp, one of the
Cup donors. t
Mr. Philp commended the manage-
ment and players for their efforts of
the past season. Watching them, he
noted that they played hard, and play-
ed to win, but they played it clean.
If they apply these attributes to their
daily lives they will grow to be good
citizens of Canada, and will be a credit
to Auburn, or whatever community
they may wish to call home.
Mr, Harry Sturdy presented the
team with crests emblematic of their
hockey supremacy. Many of those re-
ceiving the crests already have wind -
breakers with the W.O.A.A. Midget
baseball champion crests, and the 0.
B.A. midget crests, prominently dis-
played on then. Mr. Sturdy asked
the players to have the "Bush League"
crests attached to the arta of their
windbreakers.

W. M. S. Meeting
Mrs, Donald Howes and Mrs, Ray
Madill, leaders of Group No. 4 of the
Women's Missionary • Society; were In
charge of the program presented in the
school room of the United Church at

program was an echo of the Easter sea-
son. Prayers were offered by Mrs, C.
Bell and the leaders, with meditation
by Mrs. Fred Howson, Mrs, R. Vin -
vent contributed an Easter reading
and Mrs. Harold Phillips favored with
the solo, "It was for Me," accompan-
ied by Mrs. R. D. Philp.
As the W.M.S. are studying Africa
this year, the topic of Mrs. Frank Mar-
shall's address was, "Europeans in Af-
rica." In • part, Mrs, Marshall stated
"The advent of Europeans in Africa
has been undoubtedly beneficial to that
country by establishing better govern-
ment, abolishing slave trade, and there
is an extensive improvement plan, tak-
ing foram in Africa today, especially in
the teaching of modern methods of ag-
riculture among the young boys."
"This is an anxious age in which we
live, Missionaries in Africa teach the
brotherhood of inan, but the natives
of Africa mote the difference in their

"Dear Anne Hirst:. My husband
and I need help, guidance and a
recipe for tact. We married two
Nears ago, after working our way
through night school and saving
enough for a new home and a
car for cash. I worked for an-
>ther two years, to save my salary
against a rainy day. Now I'm
pregnant. Both families await
our child happily; my in-laws are
the best in the world.
"My husband's sister, 19, I've
always loved. She is a real doll,
with a bouncing personality. She
fell in love two years ago with
a boy who quit grammar school,
and has had several small jobs
'ince, They had to get married;
we worship their little girl. My
husband got his brother-in-law
into his own firm, hut he lasted
two months, At present he makes
40 a week, pays my mother-in-
law $8 for their board, The rest
he spends on himself—and you
should see his wardrobe!
"Now my sister-in-law is preg-
nant again, and they insist on
taming to live with us!
"She has yet to prepare a
meal, wash a dish, clean or iron.
All she does is read love stories.
Her husband would live with us
free of charge, saying he can
save for a place of his own that
way. We have only a two-bed-
room house; and that spare room
was for our nursery. Every time,
my husband talks to his sister
she has hysterics, and the doctor
has warned us she must control
herself,
• "Anne Hirst, we are not selfish.
We give her mother money every
week to relieve the burden of
these young people and their
baby living there. (They know
nothing of this). My mother-in-
law and husband are not the type
to contradict or reprimand. My
own mother knows of this, but
does not want to become in-
volved.
"Please help me! Tell me what
to say, or what we can do with-
out causing my sister-in-law a
breakdown? Honestly, all the
love we had for her is leaving us.
How can anyone be so callous?
Anything you suggest will be
more than welcome, Bless you
for it. P. M."

1 have seldom heard of such
elfrontry! Two irresponsible
children see in you the chance
again, to let somebody else
pay their way and assume re-
sponsibilities which are their
own. I hope your husband will
refuse. If he weakens, I fear
you would have a hard time
ever getting rid of them. Mean-
while, your housework would
be doubled, you'd be caring for
the sister, her present baby and
the coining one. And you your-
self are pregnant.
Better forget tact. This is
the time for a short NO.
The boy is a lazy adolescent
who never accepted the first
duty of a husband—to provide
for his wife and fancily, You
say that in four years with your
husband's firm he could have
made the same salary. Did he
try? No, he said that was too
long; he wanted easy money
fast. So he has hit upon this
impertinent scheme to share
your home at no cost to him-
self. His plea that he can save
money is fantastic; he has not
saved any yet.
To allow them to move in
would be no kindness. The boy
would, I'm afraid, be encourag-
ed in his selfish indulgences,
and might relax completely.
Then what becomes of your fu-
ture? You have worked hard,
for years, for a hone and se-
curity; you would be risking
that security, I do believe, if
you make things easy for them
now, As for the girl's condi-
tion, if she will not accept the
facts and weigh them reason-
ably, she invites a breakdown
herself. You will not have
caused it,
If you two can increase your
allowance to your husband's
parents, you might offer to do
that. But this cadging young
husband should be told about
your former contributions, and
warned that now he is on his
own. If he is every to become
a responsible •man, this is his
big chance — perhaps his last
one. If his frivolous wife will
grow up, earn her way in her
mother's home by taking over
household chores, and behave
like a real mother, this is the
time she must start. Her par-
ents are doing what they can.
Now it is up to the young peo-
ple themselves.

.My column this week, will, 1
hope, be of special interest to
W.I. members everywhere. You
see I am all enthused about the
big event that is coming up this
summer when rural Canada en-
tertains the A.C.W.W. And the
more enthused I get the more
amazed I am when some one
comes • up with the question —
"And who, or what, is the
A.C.W.W.?" So now, just in case
there are a few women reading
this column who still don't know,
and would like an answer to that
same question, I will give it to
you right here and now
The A.C.W.W., given its full
title, is "The Associated Country
Women of the World." Its purpose
is to promote peace, good fellow-
ship and a better understanding
between rural women of all na-
tions, and includes all rural or-
ganizations of the world. The As-
sociation was organized in 1933
at Stockholm, Sweden. Its first
president was Mrs. Alfred Watt,
a name familiar to all W.I. mem-
bers, Its present president is Mrs.
Raymond Sayre, a friendly little
woman as easy to talk to as your
next door neighbour.
So that members of the Asso-
ciation may become better ac-
quainted with peoples from other
countries and their way of living
conferences are held in a differ-
ent country each time. In 1936
the A.C.W.W. 'met in Washing-
ton, and, while visiting points of
interest, about 79 or 80 members
crossed -.the Peace Bridge into
Canada and were given an offi-
cial welcome by the Hon T. B.
McQuesten,
In 1939 the Triennial Confer-
ence was in London, England.
Delegates from 32 rural organ-
izations were present, many of
them in native costume. During
the war world conferences were
naturally impossible although the
organization was still active. In
1947 the A.C.W.W. met again, this
time in Holland. There were 21
delegates from Canada, including
Mrs. Hugh Summers and Miss
Anna P. Lewis. All told; there
were representatives" from 22 na-
tions.
Now it is Canada's turn to do
the entertaining, From August 12-
23 the Federated Women's Insti-
tutes of Canada (F.W.I.C.) and
their sister organization, Les
Cercles de Farmieres, of Quebec,
will be the official hostess groups
at the Royal York Hotel in To-
ronto. Delegates from at toast 25
countries are expected - even
from Pakistan, Egypt and Le-
banon, .and possibly from Japan
and Jamaica.
So you see big things are shap-
ing up for the W,I, in Canada.
Naturally preparations are al-
ready underway, and have been
for some time. One of the big

events will be the Canada Day
program to be held at the Maple
Leaf Gardens in Toronto It is
hoped the Prime Minister of
Canada, the Rt. Hon, Louis St.
Laurent, will officially open the
ceremonies. This will be on Fri-
day, August 21. There will be a
musical cavalcade of the story
of Canada — "Dominion of Des-
tiny"—presented by the F W.I.C.
This cavalcade will have contin-
uous action, full orchestra, chorus
of mixed voices, soloists, a large
cast of actors, units of the armed
forces, members of "the Mount-
ies" together with various ani-
mals, vehicles and other special
features. Production managers,
0. W. Fonger and Larry Mc -
Cance, music directed by Samuel
Hersenhoren. ,Singing star will be
Ernest Adams, On Saturday, Au-
gust 22, the performance will be
repeated and will be open to
the public,
So there you have it, ladies,
something to look forward to
that is truly Canadian, from
which you may learn many things
about the early history of Can-
ada. If you saw the marvellous
pageant that was put on in
Guelph in June, 1947 -• "Let
There Be Light" then you will
not want to miss this pageant
either—"Dominion of Destiny!'
Now about plans for you to
attend. To every W.I. branch in
Canada tickets for Canada Day
celebrations will be sent. The
number of tickets will depend
upon the size of the branch. To
whom the tickets will be given
each branch will decide for it-
self. Think this aver carefully,
W.I. friends — keep August 21
free if you can, and then, if you
are one of the lucky ones chosen
to represent your branch, be
ready to accept the invitation,
The opportunity may not come
your way again. Don't think of
attending the A.C.W.W. Confer-
ence as one more-duty—it is more
than that—it is a privilege, Last
week I was at 'a press conference
with the F.W.I.O. Planning Board,
and a more capable. and friendly
group of women it would be hard
to find. They are hard at work,
trying to make this A.C.W.W.
Conference second to none. • It
is our job, as W.I. members, to
get behind them and help make
this big event a success—for the
W.I. in particular for the honour
of Canada as a whole. How about
it, folks? •
"WOW!
Plan For Making
Better Drivers
During World War II many air
pilots received effective prelimin-
ary insruction in what was called
the Link trainer—a device in
which the novice moved the con-
trol stick and took the ensuing
I barrel rolls, tailspins, op.. -three-
point landings as simulated by
the Machine, which all the time
was bolted to the floor.
Public •schools • in New York
City have been trying out some
rather similar devices for teach-
ing high-school pupils how to
drive an automobile with safety,
The student drivers operate the
controls to meet various traffic
situations simulated by motion
picture film—and are "graded"
by a monitor recording, which
tells whether they made the cor-
rect turns or stops and whether
they stepped on the' gas too much
or too little.
Out of such experience can
come better coordination for
meeting the hazards of the road
and better understanding of how
to reduce them. It is often deplor-
ed that young driver's are respon-
• sible for more than their propor-
tionate share of highway acci-
dents, Many high schools have de-
veloped helpful driver training
courses for students. A real im-
provement in safety habits for
new drivers might well justify
an investment in added training
devices.

Grover Whalen has revived the
story of the fastidious diner who
objected to the way his steak
had been prepared and had it
sent back to the kitchen. The
waiter brought it back with a
message that the chef considered
the steak perfectly okay in every
particular, "He does, does he?"
bellowed the outraged diner,
"You just march that steak back
to the chef and tell him to ram
it down his throat." Back came
the waiter with the same old
steak. "I'm very sorry, sir," he
reported, "but there are two
steaks and four lamb chops
ahead of you."

SPRING
Even by the gauge of the sta..r
winter is over, Days lengthen,
daylight now minutely longer
than darkness. The sun .s over-
head, speaking directly to the
grass blade, the budded teat, the
sheathed flower. Spring, by all
the formal and mathematical cal-
culations, is here,
Walk an upland pasture and
you know it. Small new leaves
of clover begin to haze thesere
grass with a subtle green, and
the grass itself is fresh and even
lush beside the brooks where
flowing water has washed away
the frost and warmed the air by
some small fraction of a degree,
enough to prompt new growth.
Gray birches have small catkins
out of bud, waiting ony a few
warm days to swell themselves
and turn gold with pollen, The
furry buds on pussy willows and
others of their kind are fat and
silvery, almost ready to reveal
their catskins, too.
In favored places the bulb flow-
ers have already come to bloom,
or threaten to any day. Crocus
chalices can be seen, and even in
. more northern parts of this area
the daffodils are opening flower.
Forsythia is about to blonm; in
some places it already has spread
its gold along the graceful stems,
So there is a welcome to the
new season, something for it to
work with, which is -116111'I cus-
tomary nor always expected.
No equinox ever made a
spring, however, of itself The
equinoxes are matters or the
stars and the sun, not of root
and bud, One might almost call
the vernal equinox a permis-
sive signal, not an order. If the
highs and lows, the cold fronts
and the chill winds, follow a
benevolent pattern, we may have
an early and enduring spring.
The sun is in the right place for
it now, and the root, the bough,
the bulb and the bud are almost
ready to burgeon.

o It was 20 years ago, around two o'clock
on the morning of April 4, 1933, that tlic
smallest player in modern National (lack-
ey League history, darted past the big
defensive out -posts, and whistled home
the goal that ended the longest game
played in organized hockey up to that
time—a 1-0 victory for Toronto Leafs, over Boston Bruins In
a Stanley Cup play -down series final, after 106 minutes, 46
seconds of extra tilne, ]with the sixth overtime period under-
way.
There has since been one longer game, the epic 1-0 battle
between Montreal Maroons and Detroit Red Wings, that lasted
until 2,25 o'clock on the morning of March 25, 1930, when the
teams battled 110 minutes 30 seconds of overtime before the
Red Wings won, But for sheer drama, for a story -hook finish
that no Hollywood script writer could excel, that long 1933
struggle packed the .most spine -tingling finish of any such
marathon duel, in any sport.
For tiny Doraty, who stool] little more than 5 feet 6 inches
in height, carried only 132 pounds on his diminutive frame,
the smallest player in the League, was the pygmy who broke
up the battle,
Dozens of scoring thrusts had )'ailed to pierce the armour
of Tiny Thompson in the Boston nets, and dozens more had
been foiled by Lorne Chabot, Toronto custodian when lanky
Andy Blair teamed with the tiny Boraty to post the game's
only goal,
The sixth overtime period had barely started when Blair
was sent to pay special attention to the great Eddie Shore,
pivot of the Bruin offensive corps. The former University of
Manitoba star checked the great defenceman twice 8s he
tried to break away. On his third attempt Shore batted the
puck •ahead of him—right on Blair's stick.
An two long strides Andy crossed the blue -line into Bruin
territory. He sidestepped Shore, and as the Boston rearguard
swung around to jab at the puck, Blair shot it ahead to Doraty,
streaking for the net. The winger nailed it in his stride and
skated in on Thompson to fire into a corner of the net.
Varied proposals to end the game after 100 minutes over -
Ulm ,had been played failed. The players •were so tired and
attacks lacked steam to a degree when President Frank Calder
of the N,H,L, asked managers Art Ross of Boston and Conny
Smythe of Toronto to flip a coin and decide the issue. Both
refused. Then Calder suggested the goal -tenders be taken out
of the game to facilitate scoring the winning goal, The mana-
gers couldn't see that Idea.
no a finish" was finally ruled, And the finish came with
dramatic impact just four minutes and 46 seconds after re-
sumption of play.

Lost Battle
The battle of vegetable oils is
over. The farmers have lost it.
Bill 142 got third reading and
is now law. It had not been
before the Agricultural Commit-
tee of the Legislature, probably
to avoid any further discussions
or representations by consumers,
producers or the edible oil in-
terests.
The bill permits the manufac-
ture of dairy product imita-
tions from edible oils, as long
as no milk or milk products tre
used in the manufacture, Ac-
cording to the Minister of High-
ways, acting for the Minister of
Agriculture, this is the way the
farmers wanted it.
Which 1Vay "Such"?
When Mr. Doucett introduced
the bill, he quoted from the
brief presented by the farm or-
ganizations, that "dairy farmers
definitely want legislation ban-
ning vegetable oils being blend-
ed with any dairy product, and
a ban on the manufacture and
sale of any SUCH product mar-
keted as animitation of fluid
milk, cheese,' ice cream, cream
and concentrated milk prod.
ticts,"
• From the brief, as it is report-
ed in The Rural Co-operator,
however, the word SUCH is
Ball Stealer—leaping ,high , over

,Greco, Al De Porter steals the
basketball,
missing. Without it the quoted
paragraph would mean that the
farmers had asked for a com-
plete ban of all imitations of
dairy products.
What happened to SUCH? Did
it creep into the brief on the
way to Queen's Park or did it
get lost on the way home? Who
is kidding whom?
Wot, 110 Cream?
..One thing is sure. The bill is
not going to "put the cream back
into creampufTs,': as ,it is sup-
posed to do. On the contrary, it
will take out the little milk that
had been used in the ersatz
stuff.
Manufacturers are now mak-
ing it without any milk product
in it and milk producers have
lost another small outlet for
some of their surplus.
More and more markets are
being closed to Canadian dairy
farmers. The U. S. Secretary of
Agriculture recently banned the
importation of dried milk pow-
der. Butter had been banned be-
fore. Now the American dairy
industry is asking for a com-
plete ban on the importation of
all dairy products,
So Young a Body
The one farm organization
which did take a definite stand
and offered constructive ideas
was the Ontprio Farmers' Union.
In their presentation submitted
to the Ontario government in
the last days of March they ask-.
ed for a Royal Commission to
investigate the effects the intro-
duction of dairy substitutes
would have on the whole com-
munity, with special regard 'to
food • values, soil conservation
and "the price and capital struc-
ture .of agriculture and the in•
dustries related to and, dealing
with agriculture,"
They also asked for a complete
bhn on all imitations 'of dairy
products whether they were
Made with or without milk or
milk products, until the results
of the investigation were known.
In their letter they said that
the union was young, "but the
tact that it has sprung up out
of a meeting of only 17 formers
and in less than one year has
grown to an organization coin.
prising 40 locals with 2,500 mem•
bers in six counties, proves that
the farmers of Ontario want an
organization in which they hold
direct individual membership."

It won't be long 'now — May

folks who never attended a race

come of a contest between

course, to the Kentucky Derby,
not by any means the greatest of

the best -ballyhooed. And, unless
something happens to hien be-

The gray steed referred to ' is,
naturally, Native Dancer, owned
by Alfred 0. Vanderbilt, who

winning will'bring him about as
much as we need a few more
creditors.

whole lot more of us, to our
sorrow—thought that Discovery

quite make it, After pulling into
a two length lead coming through
the stretch, Discovery found that
Cavalcade had a little too much
of what it takes, and finished a
well beaten second.
,s • •
On his last year's form, Native
Dancer would appear to be a
cinch. In nine starts he was un-
beaten -- the first unbeaten
juvenile champion since Pavot
in 1944, (Even Man O'War and
Citation had one black mark
each in their opening seasons).
And Native Dancer did his win-
ning so easily that he appeared
to be in a class by' himself, He
won on muddy as well as fast
going. He equaled the world
record of 1,14-2/5 for 01/2 fur-
longs in copping the Belmont
Futurity, and in a race at a little
over a mile at Jamaica looked as
if he could go on without trouble.
• M tt
Still, this is not to be taken
as advice to •go mortgage the
fancily woodshed and put it all
on Native Dancer, Lots•of those
two-year-old "phenoms" have hit
turf investors in theix tenderest
spots — the pocketbook — in the
past, and -what has happened be-
fore can happen again, Native
Dancer, though 'he looks like a
standout, is by no means home
free.

Thes'e's the matter of distance,
for one thing, Native Dancer's
longest race as a two-year old
was at a Mile and a sixteenth.
The difference between that and
the Kentucky Derby route is a
mere 330 yards. But those 330
yards can look like a Marathon
trip to a horse when the going
is tough—and gray horses have
always been noted for speed
rather than staying power. Native
Dancer's daddy, Polynesian, was
the champion sprinter of his clay,
and he has undoubtedly handed
down plenty, of that speed to
his son, But, along with that
speed did Native Dancer in-
herit enough "stickum" to carry
that speed --or a sufficient por-
tion of it --for ten furlongs?

Kentucky Derby history is
chockful of instances of sprinter -
sired whizzes who looked like
winners until they reached that

nearly all his nine races during

So, genteel reader, once again
"you pays your money and you
takes your choice". We're not ad-
vising you to wager on Native
Dancer, nor are we telling you
to bet against him, As a matter
of fact—why DO we keep for-
getting such a thing—since time

Ontario, you WOULDN'T 13E
ABLE to make a bet on hien un-
less you were personally present
at Churchill Downs, And if you
DO happen to be there, we'll give
you a couple or three sure things

And, in conclusion, we would
just like to congratulate Ralph
Allen, of MacLean's Magazine, on
an extremely interesting and
well-written account of the "fixed
races" scandal which so shocked
Ontario turf lovers so badly a
couple of years back. The only
thing that puzzled us was his
referring to the Fort Erie track

Only 4 Years Old But
Lusty And Growing
By Peter arable
OTTAWA — A child with 14
parents celebrated its fourth
birthday April 4, preening. itself
on a formidable record in .doing
what every parent wishes every
child would do — keep the peace.
The North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization was born on April 4,
1949, and it already is credited
with hurdling the year — 1952
— Western statesmen marked
with trepidation as the y"ar of
supreme crisis when they found-
ed it.
This unique international ex-
periment — unique because it
is an experiment both in collec-
tive security and in collective de-
velopment — has come a long
way in those four years and in
the six years since Canada's
Prime Minister St Laurent
placed the first embryo vision of
its possibilities before fur, men
in 1947.
put less than three weeks after
the birthday, NATO'S council
will meet in Paris to chart the
next stage, the program for 1953,
in the drive for firm security.
The NATO child has not yet
mastered his craft, He still has a
long way to go.
It is Mr. St. Laurent who is
widely credited with • fathering
the concept of NATO, a concept
now so broadly accepted among
Canadians that it tends to ob-
scure .the profound change in
the nation's pre-war no -commit-
ments outlook it represents
In 1947, torn and saddened as
he sat among the hostilities of
the U.N. General Assembly as
Canadian Minister of External
Affairs, he arose one day tf utter
this statement that is likely to
live long after lie is gone
"Nations, in.:their search for
peace and co-operation will not,
and cannot, accept indr'finitely
and unaltered a council which
was set up to ensure their se-
curity and which, so manv feel,
has become frozen in futility and
divided by discussion, If forced,
they may seek greater satety in
an association of democratic and
peace -loving states willing to ac-
cept more specific interns bona]
obligations in return for a great-
er measure of national security,'
It may become the passage
Canadian history chooses, above
all others, to associate wit]-, Mr
St, Laurent's name. Two years
later his prophecy was fulfilled.
in the election campaign- et that •
year, 1949, he chose as his cent-
ral theme the hope and the as-
piration embodied in. NATO.
Here at last, he preached ]l: ham-
let, town and city, is a founda-
tion on which peace can build
Here is hope for peace.
A few weeks ago in TOI'Gnto he
brought his vision up - to - date
with this sober caution;
"What we need to be concern-
ed about is to prevent false con-
fidence that the danger of Com-
munist aggression has receded
enough that we can afford to re-
lax. I believe the danger has re-
ceded somewhat but it nas re-
ceded only because the free
world appears to mean business:
and, if we are to be secui e, we
must continue.to tnean business.
This is Mr. Sl. Laurent''• theme
Tor 1953. It also is the theme
that will background April's
meeting of the 14 -nation NATO
council in Paris in finalizing,
plans, already well matnrd, for
what is to be done this vent.

TABLE TALKS
Jct.= Andrews.
To a real lover of stews -and
most men are just that -there's
nothing like the perfume of sim-
mering meat, vegetables and
!paces assailing the nostrils when
they come home at the end of
the day. Or even in the middle
of the day, for that matter.
So here are some recipes guar-
anteed to satisfy even the most
discriminating stew fancier.
4 4 4
Back in great -grandpa's day
Brunswick stew was generally
made with squirrel. But most
modern recipes call for chicken
instead, for which I, for one, am
thankful. But it's a grand dish,
properly made, and no mistake.
4 4 4
BRUNSWICK STEW
1 four -pound chicken, cut
In pieces
Flour
!!. cup salad oil
21/4 cups canned tomatoes
3 cups lima beans
3 cups whole kernel corn
2 teaspoons sugar
teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
sauce
11/4 tablespoons salt
Ili cups water
lit cup chopped onion
Shake chicken with flour in
paper sack and brown in salad
oil. Add onions; stir until onions
are transparent. Add tomatoes,
water and seasonings. Cover and
simmer until meat is almost ten-
der. Remove chicken and strip
from bones, leaving meat in Targe
pieces. Add vegetables to stew;
return chicken meat to stew;
continue cooking until vegetables
are tender. Serves 8 generously.
Variations of this stew may be
made by using 2 pounds of bone-
less lamb or veal instead of chick-
en. Cube meat before cooking.
Short ribs may be used to
make a savory stew. For varia-
tion, use noodles in this instead
of potatoes.
3 4 u
A stew with dumplings may
make seconds necessary for the
real stew lover, So, while this
recipe serves 6, you had better
increase the ingredients if you
expect many calls for more. If
there's any left you can skip a

A universal favorite is oyster
stew, easy to make but special
in its exact requirements. It
should always be served steam-
ing hot -and the oysters must
be cooked only until edges curl.
Some stew fanciers like a small
amount of thickening added to
an oyster stew (about 2 table-
spoons flour for 1 pint of oysters)
while others like it thin. If you
do add it, do so before putting
in the milk.
OYSTER STEW
1 pint oysters with liquor
21/4 cups milk and 1/4 eup
thin cream
3 tablespoons butter (or
more)
! teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
Heat oysters in their liquor;
add seasoning. When edges of
oysters curl, add milk and cream;
bring just to boiling point. Heat
soup plates and place butter in
each plate. Pour stew over but-
ter, Garnish with dash of pa-
prika.

Millions Would Die
For "Golden Stool"
• If you travel through the Brit-
ish possessions in Africa, you will
find that almost every native
tribe has its own ideas about its
ancestry. But nowhere will you
find a stranger story than in Ash-
anti, a small British possession
bordering on the Gold Coast
colony,
The Ashantis worship a golden
stool; to them it is the mother
and father of their people and
the home of their souls, Legend.
says that their ancestors came out
of a hole in the ground, and to
keep watch over them the Gold-
en Stool rose from a ,lake.
Nation-wide wars have been
fought over that Stool, and its
power over the million natives
is so great that any one of them
would willingly die for it. The
Stool has a throne of its' own in
a secret jungle hiding -place, Even
the king, Pren)peh 11 would not
dale to sit on it.
Back in 1899 Sir Frederic
Hodgson, governor of the nearby
Gold Coast, paid a visit to Ashan-
ti. It was a brief period of peace
between two of the seven Ashanti
wars which were fought with the
British before the country was
finally defeated,
Sir Frederic showed a fatal lack
of tact, for the. first words he
said were; "Where is the Golden
Stool? Why. am I not sitting on
the, Golden Stool this very mo-
ment? Why did you not take the
opportunity of my coming to
bring the Golden Stool and give
it to me to sit upon?
These words had the effect of
causing a new war. Then, in 1921,
the British tried to build a road
through its jungle hiding -place.
The tribal labourers were so
frightened that they refused to
work.
While they dallied the custod-
ians of the Stool dug it up and re-
buried it in a safer spot.
That might have been the end
of the trouble, but one of the
custodians stole some of the
Stool's golden ornaments and
sold them,
The Ashanti immediately put
the blame on the British,
That was quite enough to cause
another war, but the British au-
thorities managed to track down
the thief and his accomplices be-
fore the trouble could come to
a head.
After tl:ese unfortunate epi-
sodes it seems as though the Brit-
ish pare' mare respect to the Stool.
In 1942 the Government ceded a
large section of the Crown lands
to the king "for the support and
dignity of the Golden Stool of
Ashanti,"
Nowadays the Stool makes rare
appearances when there is some
special ceremonial. It is carried
in state m1 a litter and defended
by hundreds of armed tribesmen.
Even the British Commissioner,
who rules Ashanti jointly with
the king, pays homage to the Stool
when it is carried past.
It has become a symbol of
power in the land, When Ashantis'
only daily newspaper. announced
recently: "EISENHOWER GETS
WHITE HOUSE STOOL," every-
body who could read knew what
it meant.
A woman arrested for shop-
lifting told the court that she
tried a hat on, and it was so
small she forgot it was on her
head when she left the shop.
Thread From Sox
Cut Prison Bars
Recent sensational prison es-
capes just go to emphasize the
fact that no jail has yet been
built that will hold a really de-
termined prisoner, provided he
has the patience to wait his op-
portunity.
The ingenuity of prisoners who
have made up their minds to es-
cape is astonishing. Albert Rum-
ford, who was lodged in a- New
Jersey jail, induced his wife to
send him a cake into which she
had carefully baked a few hack-
saw blades.
With these he sawed away the
• bars of his cage while his fellow
prisoners sang lustily to drown
the noise of scraping. Then, by
tying together sash -cords, he
lowered himself to the ground
and escaped,
An even more ingenuous fellow
was Frederick Treadwell, who
languished in Lyon County
Prison, U.S.A. His friends tried
the old dodge of sending him
hacksaw blades in cakes and
other eatables, but the warders
broke to pieces every article of
food sent hime, But Treadwell
was not baffled. Every prisoner
was allowed soap; and of sand
there was plenty.
So, he painstakingly unravel-
led the socks his wife had lov-
ingly knitted for him and satu-
rated the threads in soap, so
that sand would adhere to them.
Then he cut through the bars' of
his cell!
A thread• was passed round
each bar, and by pulling the
ends alternately with . hither
hand, he managed to wear away
a tiny groove each day. Time•
was of no consequence, for he
was "inside" for life,
But the most persistent es-
capist of all was a Frenchman
named Salvador, who escaped
82 times from jail and 14 times

Asked Off To Attend Grandma's Funeral
Became One Of Screen's Greatest Actors
Is there any more accomplish-
ed film star than Charlie Chap-
lin?
"Yes!" decided the New York
critics recently . , , and at their
annual meeting they voted Sir
Ralph Richardson the best actor
of the year,
Sir Ralph was elected tops for
his performance in/Sound Bar-
rier." Chaplin was second with
a mere five votes to ten. Yet,
not so long ago, as success sagas
are measured, the actor of the
year worked In a dreary, dusty
office, sticking stamps on envel-
opes and filling inkwells,
One day lie asked for an af-
ternoon off to go to his grand-
mother's funeral. Never was the
hoary excuse so true and lno-
mentous.'The old lady's lawyers
told hint he had inherited £200.
The bequest meant liberty to
choose a career -and freedom to
mould his whole future,
Ralph Richardson took a last
quick look at his insurance office
-and promptly sacked himself.
"They were going to sack me,
anyway, the same clay," he adds
drily.
Granny knew he wanted noth-
ing but to be close to the theatre.
Young Ralph picked out the
smallest seaside repertory com-
pany in England and frantically
begged to be allowed to pay for
the privilege of acting in small
"walk-on" parts. "Nothing do-
ing," he was told, But then the
manager noticed a fleck of paint
on the youngster's sleeve, learn-
ed he had been to art school,
showed him the canvas set -pieces
waiting to be painted for the fol-
lowing week .. , and so Ralph
Richardson began his acting
career as a scene -painter.
In fact lie had to be scene -
painter, scene - shifter, sound -
efTects man and prompter rolled
into one. Crouching beneath the
stage, he followed the script by
candlelight, When the actors for-
got their lines, they stamped on
the boards = and a shower of
dust often put the candle out!
Such were the inauspicious be-
ginnings of the quiet and modest
personality whom it is rumour-
ed may one day become Britain's
first actor baronet. There have
been plenty of actor knights, but
why not a "Bart." for the man
whom the critics describe with
such glittering words as "genius"
and "greatest in living memory?
Moviegoers remember how he
stole laurels from Olivia de Ha-
viland in "The Heiress," how su-
perbly he impressed distinction
on Carol Reed's "The Fallen
Idol." They recall his consum-
mate performance opposite Vivi-
en Leigh in "Anna Karenina," his
bank clerk study in "Home at
Seven."
The Christmas before last,
America's casting experts had to
choose a pre-eminent actor to
play Scrooge in a Christmas night
coast-to-coast television hook-up
of "A Christmas Carol," They de •
termincd to secure Sir Ralph
Richardson at any cost,
He flew the Atlantic simply to
play Scrooge for one night, Stop-
ping only to shop on behalf of
his seven-year-old son, Smallie,
he flew home next day with a
bale of New York toys and caus•
ed a nursery sensation.
Again, when Carol Reed cast
hint as the salty merchant sea
captain in Conrad's "An Outcast
of the Islands," Richardson de-
monstrated his painstaking thor-
oughness. Day by day, in swel-
tering heat, he donned his full
sea -togs, no matter what shots
were being taken. One uncom-
fortably torrid day Carol Reed
decreed that the camera would
be focused only for close-ups from
the waist up and, therefore, com-
plete costume wouldn't be need-
ed,
Richardson quietly insisted
"If I was wrongly dressed," he
said, "It might show by the wa;
I stood." -
Last year, when Sir Ralph
turned film producer, he ap-
proached the film studio with the
zest of a new idea. "I don't like
films that drag on, become team
ous," lie said, For three weeks
lie rehearsed his cast as thor-
oughly as for a stage play, A
phenomenon of patience, he even
fussed about the angle of an
actress's elbows, Then he took
his company on the floor ,so dis-
ciplined and word-perfect that
"Home at Seven" was shot with-
in fourteen days - the fastest
British first feature made in
modern times.
"Acting on the screen," say!
Richardson, "is like acting under
a microscope. It's like seeing
one's own passport photograph
.the size of a house, moving an4
talking. So discipline' must be
severe." •
Keenly aware of his faults, Sir
Ralph Richardson seldom attends
his own premieres. One day, he
saw himself advertised in n hor,
ror film, "The Ghoul." Unable to
remember it, he bought a ticket
-and found it was a quickie made
nineteen years before when he
was taking small film pails.
Though Sir Ralph began with
£200, he has come up the hard
way. Gradually he progressed
from scene -painting and sound
effects to walk-ons and small
speaking roles, When a fnmout
Shakespearian actor visited his
home town, Richardson pestered
him for an audition. The great
man consented to hear him as he
changed from stage costume to
street clothes, but quickly yell-
ed, "Stop, Stop!"
"Won't I do, sir?" asked Ri-
chardson, almost in tears.
"You're all right, you're hired,`
said the great man, "But, you're
standing on my trousers!"
For years Richardson played
nearly every role in a Shakes-
pearian stock company. When al
length 11e asked for a five -shilling
raise he was refused, No one
ever thought he would climb tc
stardom.
"Now I've put 00 snake -up sc
many times," says Sir Ralph
"that I'm afraid one day when 1
wipe it off there'll be nothing
left underneath."
Medical Hint
1'rustbite '1'ru,oitent. The best
way to treat frostbitten feet, legs
or hands is by rapid thawing in
a warm bath at a temperature
of. 95 to 113 degrees F. This ans-
wer to an old and serious prob-
lem cones from Canadi;ii sur-
geons after many careful experi-
ments with animals, They found
that, to be most effective; to mar-
kedly reduce. the loss of limb, the
thawing must be inmedinte, rapid
and penerating. The warm bath
does the job; so also does dia-
thermy, The rapid thawing it
painful, but it can be made more
tolerable with sedatives.

According to tests rec.—
concluded, you can improve your
flock's egg production, hatcha•
bllily, and• growth by means of
simple crosses of the standard
breeds.

Crossbred pullets and strain -
cross pullets averaged 10 to 12%
more eggs than pure strains on
the average. Hatchability was
improved 9% by crossbreeding,
slightly by strain -crossing, Cross-
breds gained weight 7% faster,
strain crosses 4%. Mortality was
reduced by crossbreeding and
strain -crossing.

The 3 -year tests were made
with 2 strains each of 4 dual-
purpose breeds -- N e w Hamp-
shire, Barred Rock, Rhode Island
Red and Austrolorp, Breeds
were crossed in all possible com-
binations, and the two strains
within each breed were crossed.
The tests showed that the odds
favor any cross as likely to do
better than the original breeds
or strains.
* 4 r,
While breed crosses are a lit-
tle better -performing than strain
crosses, Iowa State College poul-
try breeder A. W. Nordskog says
• the strain crosses have at least
one advantage. A breeder who
wants to improve productivity
without inbreeding, and still pro-
duce all white or all brown eggs,
can do it by crossing 2 strains
of one breed. He couldn't with
crossbreds.

For '('he New Home
When the builder is finished,
the gardener is just ready to be-
gin. He shouldn't be discouraged
at the rough grading, the litter
of plaster and bricks that the
bulldozer has barely covered ar-
ound the brand new home. One
can hardly believe what can be
accomplished in gardening the
first year. Of course we can't
grow trees, shrubs and perennial
vines overnight. But it is amaz-
ing what can be done with an-
nuals. The best plan is to get in
early whatever nursery stock and
perennial (lowers are available
and financially possible. Then in
between these use ail sorts of
annuals which will soon look as
if they had always been there.
There are big, bushy things like
cosmos, dahlias, canvas, castor
oil and spider plants, ornamental
sunflowers r r helianthas, African
marigolds and giant larkspur that
can be used in the place of
flowering shrubbery. l'hen there
are quick - growing climbing
plants, scarlet runner beans,
morning glories, climbing nastur-
tiums, sweet peas,'hopr and such
for covering trellis or fence. And
for solid beds, edging and what-
not we have at least a hundred
.annual flowers from which to
choose,
Before any planting or lawn
seeding is done, however, we
must dig or cultivate thoroughly,
rake as level and as tine as pos-
sible. It is also advisable, where
available, to dig 'n some good
manure or commercial fertilizer.
and all the grass clippings,
leaves or other .vegetable refuse
as available.
Mix in Flowers
Few vegetables look well am-
ong flowers, but there are a lot
of flowers that not only dec-
orate a vegetable garden but are
best grown there,
Gladiolus, sweet peas and
others that are used for cutting
or bouquets can be grown most
easily and in quantity among the
vegetables, Plants with really
wonderful blooms but plain fol-
iage should go there. A more
pleasing picture will result where
these flowers are grown along the
edge of the vegetable plot or
just in front. If they are very
big they can go along the back
fence. Usually a prize vegetable
garden attracts visitors just as
much as the flower plots so if
we want to make it really dressy
we can select from the seed cat-
alogue some of the taller and
bushier •annual flower$ and use
these as hedges between the
main divisions of vegetables
A great many experienced gar-
deners now grow practically all
their gladiolus in rows in the
vegetable garden. Then, they are
more easily cultivated and dust-
ed, and in most parts 01 Canada
it is very necessary to dust to
ward off tinrip.
Take Your Time
Along about this time some-
thing in the air makes one want
to get outside with a spade or
at least a rake and work up the
soil. It is a natural urge. The
average gardener, however, does
not need to worry. He is in-
clined to rush planting rather
than postpone it until too late.
Or course with the established
things, or the perennials, like
shrubbery, trees, peonies, del-
phiniums, grass etc. one can
start digging just as soon as the
soil dries out enough. But for
the new crop of annuals which
must be • planted or sewn cacti'
spring, it is best to wait until
the weather shows signs or set-
tling down and the hulk of the
frosts ,anal' csver for another sea-
son. A- fail snore serious mistake
than being a bit late b to stop
planting too soon. This applies es-
pecially to those vegetables which
can be sown any time from early
April to late in June. By spread-
ing out this work, we oleo spread
out the harvest.

HOW MUCH DO WE KNOW ABOUT CANCER?
SCIENCE MUST FIND SECRETS OF HUMAN CELL BEFORE IT CAN FIND WAY TO CONQUER CANCER
EDITOR'S NOTE: How much
do we know about cancer? Here's
the second of two' dispatches in
a progress report on the battle
to find a way to stop the killer
that takes the lives of a quarter
of a million people every year
in America alone.

By RICHARD KLEINER
NEA Staff Correspondent
New York -- (NEA) — Some-
where, buried deep in the hu-
man cell, is the secret that is
the key to cancer. Until it is
found, men, women and children
will continue to die of the dis-
ease.
Science is attempting cc, find
that secret. But it is handicapped,
in its search because it knows
very little about the operation
of a normal cell. Before it can
learn what goes wrong in a
cell, td set off the mushrooming
growth that is a cancer, it must
first learn more about routine
cell functions.
That's why the conquering of
cancer will take time. And
money. Taking first things first,
scientists are currently devot-
ing much work to increasing
their broad, general knowledge
of the human cell, In this way
they're like radio repairmen, who
can't attempt to fix a balky set
until they first know how a radio
operates.
Nluch of the millions annually
spent in cancer research is going
.for this vital, although prelim-
inary, work, Altogether the
American Cancer Society says,
1800 scientists - are involved in
trying to solve the riddle of
cancer. Last . year, the expendi-
ture for research by all agencies
amounted to more ,than $15,000-
000.
4 4 4
Another basic problem for cann-
cer research is "the test." Doc-
tors and the man' in the street
alike are dreaming of a great
day when there'll be a quick,
dependable test, which will de-
tect beginning cancer like a chest
X-ray discovers beginning tuber-
culosis,
Some tests . have been an-
nounced, but the results, while
encouraging, have not yet been
universally successful. These
have used blood, urine and even
skin electricity in their attempts
to diagnose cancer. But they've
failed to live up to the dreamy
expectations for one reason --so
far, no one has found that cancer
works a basic, measurable change
in any human body function.
Those are the partol skirmishes
in the cancer war. But the main
action, involving most of the time

nut -shaped tube being studied by Dr. E. E, Char Icon, General Electric's X-ray boss.
and money in cancer research, is
directed to the actual curing of
the disease.
Since the cause is toot definite-
ly known, scientists are attack-
ing -it from dozens of angles,
They are attempting to find a
cure chemically—a wonder drug
that can destroy cancer like peni-
cillin destroys flu, or an inhibitor
that can control cancer like in-
sulin controls diabetes,
4 4 4
They tu'e working with sex
hormones, the chemicals secreted
by the sex glands, which seem to
have some effect on cancer. In
experiments, some hormones
have been found to speed the
growth of cancer, others: to slow
it down. These seem to have
most hope in treating breast can-
cer in women, and prostatic . can-
' cer in men, .
They are working with viruses,
which kava. also shown some
laboratory results. In experimen-
tal animals, viruses have attack- .
ed cancer, tissue. So far, how-
ever they also attack normal
tissue, but perhaps a strain of
virus can be developed which
will be selective. Attempts at
using these viruses on humans
have not yet shown many results.
They are working with new
types of radiation, to increase
the scope of this type of treat -
mut, New radioactive materials,
many from atomic. piles, are be-
ing tested. Radioactive iodine
seems to be of value in treating
cancer of_ the thyroid; radio-
active gold in cancer of the pros-
tate; radioactive cobalt in cer-
tain other internal cancers; radio-
active phosphorus in skin can-
cers,
They are working with gas,
particularly the dangerous poison
gas, nitrogen mustard. Some
tests, begun during World War
II, have indicated this gas and
certain of its derivatives may
someday prove of value in treat •
-
ing blood cancers. At present,
.certain nitrogen mustard com-
pounds are in accepted use.
4 4 4
Most people hope that, eventu-
ally, one substance will be found
which will cure all cancers. Sci-
ence shares• that hope. At the
moment, in laboratories across
the country, countless., chemicals
are being tested.
- They bear strange, as .yet un-
familiar • names, like a -methop-
terin, TEPA and urethane. Some-
times they're just numbered.
Researchers at the vest Sloan-
Kettering Institute have already
totted some 16.000 different cern.
pounds.
A typical r;snrch otoject.
showing how thgrnughly science
explores every possible avenue,
is under way at Sloan-Kettering.
All cells, like human beings must
have food. They need chemicals
to exist. Cancer cells have vora-
cious appetites. If the chemicals
which cancer cells use could be
made poisonous or radioactive,
they would kill the cell quickly.
And it is possible to alter the
make-up of 'these chemical foods
to make them poisonous or radio-
active. The problem, of rc'urse,
is to find a substance that can-
cer cells require and normal -
cells do not,
At the moment, sctentific re-
searchers are exploring the nu-
cleic acids, which they believe
may be the chief staple on a
cell's menu. They are hopeful
of finding that cancer cells and
normal cells differ in their need
for nucleic acids If they ran dos
tect that difference, perhaps they
can poison the food needed by
the cancer cells.
Whether any of these varied
assaults will be productive is a
question time will decide Per-
haps the ultimate control 01 can-
cer will come from some unex-
pected direction, as it so often
has in science's past. Perhaps It
will come as a result of Some of
woiT.
But one thing seems certain—
come it will.
