"VARIETY REVUE" STAGE SHOW
THIS FRIDAY NIGHT
All roads will lead to the Memorial
Hall this Friday night, M,y 8th, when
the "1053 Variety Revue", sponsored
by the Blyth Lions Club, will be pre-.
sented by a cast of over 70 from the
neighbouring village of Brussels.
This show played to three succes-
sive capacity audiences in Brussels,
and we understand that there Is a
movement to have it presented again
at Brussels. Surely a sihow with a re-
putation such as this needs no further
billing to assure a full house on Fri-
day night. Besides an outstanding
junior revue cast, there is an'excallent
senior cast, so that the show is by no
means completely juvenile in nature.
Reserve tickets can still be procur-
•cd at Sparling's Hardware, and people
are urged to -secure these reserved
scats at once.

BIRTIIS
SNELL—In Wingham General .Hospitid
on Saturday, April 25th, 1953, to Mr,
and Mrs, Rayinohd Snell, of Londes-
boro, a daughter,
pending for some weeks, and produc-
tion was only held up because the n
cessary Installation ch .ngeovers were
not made until a little overa week
ago. '
The Kraft Cheese Company will
take• all the cheese that the kcal firm
can manufacture. They also supplied
all the necessary equipment that w.is
necessary to change over to the pro-
duction of the new -type cheese re-
quired by Kraft which is a rineles;
cheddar, wrapped in Parakolc with n
protective p. per wrap, and f' nnlly
boxed' in 40 pound containers, The
entire production of one day is ready
for boxing the succeeding clay. No
further work is necessary so far as the
local plant is concerned, and after a
ten-day curing period, the cheese is
ready for shipping. This is a favour-
able aspect of the new contract when
compared with the former methcd of
processing the 90 pound cylinder -type
cheese which necessitated considerable
shelf -tuning, Fining, cotton rnd wix
finishing process.
As a result of this new contract, it
is hoped that a better competitive
price can be paid to the producer, and
the management is most anxious that.
local producers lend their full co-op-
eration so that the maximums of pro-
duction for this area may be reached.
If the new. contract with the Kraft
Cheese Company proves to be as bene-
ficial as is anticipated, the good judge-
ment of the Directors in securing tt-e
most modern equipment for the fac-
tory, plus the past record of tine man-
agement for making high quality
cheese, deserves everyone's commen•
dation, for it was these assets, p'ns
the constant cleanliness .which is' so
evident at all times around the fac-
tory, that were the main factors In
interesting Kraft Cheese to seek the
contract with the Blyth firm.
Now all that is needed is the flow
of milk to keep the plant running to
full capacity, and that flow of milk
should be readily accessible within a
reasonable radius of tin's village.

OF CONSERVATION OFFICER.
The trout season opened on Friday
and we're mighty thankful that Con-
servation Officer Gerald R, Harris, of
Mitchell, dropped in to the office on
Monday, otherwise The Standard would
have come mighty short for a report
on the week -end fishing, as none of
our local nlmrods apparently caught
anything on opening day but a bad
cold—the result of being improperly
clothed for the damp day.
We can still remember when Gerald
was in business, here, how the was the
envy of fisherman when he came home
with the big ones. He's still .doing It.
Saturday he landed a 19 inch brown
beauty weighing 3 lbs., 5 ozs., and when
in, the shop Monday he still had it at
home in the refrigerator,
For the general information of fish-
ermen—the trout was caught in Huron

Mr. Wilford has one request of local
business men. That is to contact trav-
ellers and tell them to take the word
back to head office about the event.

vantage was given in the case of Coca
Coln. Mr. Wilford himself collared
their representative one day in Blyth,

which was relayed by the coke man to
head office in Stratford. Later when
Mr. Wilford followed up, he found the
manager, Mr, Frank Hunter already
acquainted with the day's schedule and

personally and will present the Coca-
Cola motion picture, "Down Through
The Years," and invite you all to have
a cold bottle of Coke on the house.

Mr. Wilford called at The Standard
Office last Thursday and was full of
enthusiasm for the support he is re-
ceiving. Ile finds that big organiza-
tions are keenly interested in the local
approach being used to bring industry
and agriculture to6ether for a day in
which they can discuss their problems
atnidst familiar :surroundings- With
the best of public-address systems peo-
ple can sit in cars, or any where they
please, and hear issues discussed, and
talk their problems over with ►nen
they might otherwise have to travel
miles to see.
"SUGGESTION POOL" MAY HELI'
SOLVE FARM PROBLEMS
The farmer will have a real oppoe-
tunity to express his opinion from now
until May 23rd if they co-operate with
Mr. A. H. Wilford, organizer of the
Rutabaga and Industrial Day to be held
in Blyth on that date.
Mr. WIlford has organized a "Sug-
gestion Pool" whereby everybody may
feel free to bring a scribbled note with
them when they attend the big day,
airing their opinions on any subject.
If they feel so enclined they can send
their suggestions in advance to "Mr,
A. II, Wilford, in care of The Blyth
Standard. All such suggestions will
be studied and it may be that a solu-
tion to some problems will be forth-
coming as a consequence.
Persons bringing their suggestions
with then on May 23rd will find a
box conveniently located, in which to
place thein. '
The general public and the farm
residents in particular, are invited to
take advantage of this feature.
Suggestions in this Pool will repre-
sent the opinions from fibs Counties,
and If people take full advantage of it, •
some very worth -while information
should be gathered together,
Sunday Services As Usual
Blyth aid district' church services
will be held at the usual hours on Sun-
day, The regular church news has
been omitted this week because of
lack of space. Many other news and

Good Taste For Teens
By SALLY McCRAE
IIOW POPULAR BOYS' ANI)
GIRLS GET THAT WAY: The
desire to be popular presents a
problem to many boys and girls.
Nothing is more distressing to a
teenager than to be a "wall
flower" or a "drip", or whatever
words you use to describe the
boy or girl who just doesn't rate
in a mixed group. We've scout-
ed around high schools and ask-
ed teenagers to tell us, "How
popular boys and girls get. that
way." Here +are their answers.

offish nor too forward; Attrac-
tively dressed, but not too inter-
ested in clothes; Peppy and inter-
ested, b u t not . conspicuous;

eager; Good talkers, and good
listeners; Good Dancers and
Good at Sports such as tennis
and badminton; Well 'mannered
but not snobbish; Good looking
but they don't need to be beau-
ties; Intelligent but not `smarty'
about it; Considerate, especially
of a boy's pocket book; Natural
and sincere; Neither touch-me-
nots nor chronic petters; Non
drinkers and non smokers;
Not boastful of former conquests;
Religious and have high ideals,
Liked by other girls.
POPULAR BOYS ARE: lVell
dressed and tidy; Well mannered
but not fussy; Good Talkers and
listeners; Dependable and con-
siderate, especially, about get-
ting a girl home on time; Good

derful personality. However, not
even' an extremely popular teen
will have all the attributes
named because each person is
different from each other.
Every teen has her own special
'personality, only often it is stilt-
ed because she fails to make the
most of it. Obviously, a girl who
is keen about making the most
of her looks, clever at wearing
clothes and is interested in de-
veloping her personality will
have a happier time and get on.
much„.bctter than a girl who is
unkempt and looks slovenly.
Personality is YOU. It's how
you look and how you act, at
hone and away from home, at
school, in church, on busses and
street cars, in autos etc., that
counts. Teens who don't know
how to act in certain situations
often envy those who do and to
cover up their own lack they
develop a singing wit, biting sar-
casm, unpleasant tale telling and
other unpopular' traits which
may become permanent.
We all change, for better or
for worse, especially, during the
teenage years, Fortunately, we
can make the most of ourselves
in looks, character, charm and
personality, but only if we know
what to do. We must, however,
remember that perfection comes
to very few and it certainly will
not come to anyone without time
and practice.
RELAX: The first thing to do
to develop a popular personality,
is to relax: forget about wanting
to be popular, Interest yourself
in others and what they are do-
ing. Stop thinking about YOU
and worrying about whether peo-
ple like you or not, Most people
are too busy fretting about
whether you like them to think
about you. Interest in other peo-
ple, makes you interesting.
If you feel out of things, feel
that others have intimate friends,
while you are even left out of a
group, don't let it upset you, be-
cause no one is liked by every-
body. You still crave to be liked,
to be wanted, to be popular.
What can you do to make people,
like you and make you one of
the gang? We've given you a list
of what boys say snake girls
popular. We've suggested that
you relax and not try so hard
to be liked, Here are a couple
more' hints: The confident teen
is better liked than the nervous
one, because our feelings are in-
fectious, When we feel, afraid,
ill -at -case, or striving to be popu-'
lar, people near us get the same
feeling and 'are also unhappy,
unsure and uncomfo'table. They
don't like It,
Friendliness is also catching,
When we are .friendly and sin-
cere, we radiate a warm, sturdy
happiness, that spills over onto
people near us and they feel hap-
pier, too, People Want to get to
know us because we make then
feel cheerful, we give them a
"lift and boost their morale. So
stop fretting about wanting to be
liked• and start liking other peo-
ple. You'll he surprised at how
many like you, too.

WHO OBJECTS TO WHAT!
Mr. M. J, Coldwell, in a recent radio broadcast, stated that "Loud
objections to any increase in social security benefits have come from
big business, from some of the Presidents of our Chartered Banks,
from the Canadian Association of Manufacturers, and The Canadian
Chamber of Commerce." This sort of Statement has a very familiar
ring but should not be left unchallenged. First of all, we must deny
categorically that The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is opposed
to social security, A distinction, however, must be drawn between
the kind of social security meant by Mr,. Coldwell and the kind of
social security desired by The Canadian Chamber of Commerce,
The first kind of social security is that which is supplied by and
administered by a generous and beneficent Government which draws
its revenues from that section of the economy which ,in the opinion
of some group of planners, is in the best position to pay for them.
In short, :as the speaker stated, , , . "The Government can take
Money away from groups end individuals who have more than they
need and distribute it to those who have special needs that they
are unable to meet with their own resources." This is just another
way of saying "frons each according to his means to each according
to his need." Does this really spell security for the individual?
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce on the other hand believes
that beyond certain minimal protection which grows as the nation
prospers, a young vigorous and pioneering country should con-
centrate upon economic development from which flows the best kind
of security for the individual. Can it be argued that the people of
any other country in the world no matter what social benefits flow
from the State have any greater real security than we have here in
Canada?
Mr. C. C. Thackray, President of Dominion Rubber Company
Limited, in an address to the Kitchener Chamber of Commerce, put
the matter succinctly when lie said, "People need protection against
old age, unemployment and disability, of course, but this protection
should come first of all from the thrift Qf the individual, from his
own efforts and self-reliance. Government benefits should come
last, and should be held down to a minimum. When the Govern-"
ment takes the lead in' developing human aid a nation's walk down
the road to socialism turns into a gallop." In an economy where
the average industrial wage has increased from less than $24. a week
to over $55. a week in thirteen years and where there are 192
people working today for every 100 working thirteen years ago,
there has been a very real increase in security despite the increase
in the cost of living.
Mr. ,Charles Dickens in his preface to tihe third edition of
Oliver Twist, written more than 100 years aro, said, "It's wonderful
how Virtue turns from dirty stockings; and how Vice, married to
ribbons and a little gay attire, changes her name, as wedded ladies
do, and becomes Romance." So-called social security provided by
the state, which grows by what it feeds on and destroys the incen-
tives'lvhich lead a real social security, has been bedecked with rib-
bons and gay' attire, Sturdy independecence and a desire to in-
crease our national wealth so that all might prosper is in certain
quarters pictured as Vice. Virtueis not monopoly,

Time -Keeping At Sea
ClockmakIng became a craft
of considerable importance about
the year 1550, Clocks for the
homes of the upper middle
classes became a possibility. 13y
1000 there were enough clock -
makers at work to indicate the
eventual cenversiol of the clock
from a luxury to a staple article
of commerce.
The significance of an accurate
timepiece as an aid to naviga-
tion was generally appreciated
in maritime and naval circles.
In 1714 the English Parliament
offered a grand prize to any clock -
maker who would measure time
accurately enough to 'determine
longitude within thirty miles.
John Harrison (1693-1775) de-
veloped one that made determin-
ation within eighteen miles pos-
sible, This was in 1761. He called
his timepiece a chronometer. if
determining position by the aid
of an accurate timepiece 'is some-
thing of a mystery to any reader,
'this explanation may resolve the
matter: You set out on a voyage
with an eccurate clock that is
set at the time of the place from
which you start. That clock on
your ship will, if accurate, keep
time with the master clock back
home. Ten days later you want to
know about how far you have
sailed. At precisely noon you
"shoot the sun" with an instru-
ment. You know it is noon by the
sun. You calculate the variation
between sun time and true time
from charts and tables' and com-
pare that with the "time" back
hone as recorded by the clock
you have with you. Your clock
says it's one o'clock. Your sun
shooting says it's twelve o'clock.
Ergo, you are approximately one
thousand miles west of home. The
time difference tells you where
you are. A poor timepiece might
tell you within one hundred
miles. Harrison's timepiece cut
the margin of error to eighteen
miles, -From "American Clock:
and Clockmakers," by Carl W
j Drepperd,

wife's feet. She quickly rushed
to the door, only td find the
street deserted.
About a half-hour later a timid
knock came on the door and the
scared voice of a small boy said:
"Please, ma'am, here comes my
father to mend your windrow,"'
Looking up the road, she saw
a man with a pane of glass ap-
proaching the house, so without
further ado, she returned the ball

It did not take the man long
to repair the' window. Then he
turned to the housewife. "That'll

"What are ' you charging me

MEN WHO THINK' OF TOMORROW PRACTISE MODERATION TODAY
TIIffMN FRONT
In his very interesting "Plain
Horse- Sense" column lust. week
Bob Ellis plainly , told dairy far-
mers that their best bet is to
"de-emphasize" butter and but-
ter -fat, and really tackle the
problem of cashing -in on the
other values contained in milk,
Writing in the .latest issue of
Farm Journal (Philadelphia),
Ray Dankenbring tells of what
is being done—and what should
be done—along the same lines,
f quote the following:—
.
Out of the maze of proposals
and suggcdions for solving the
nation's dairy dilemma, two main
steps are taking shape:
(1) Put some real pressure on
selling those dairy products that
seem to have the best future—
fluid mills, cheese, dried milk,
concentrated milk, and ice cr'eani
—products that put more empha-
sis on the value of the protein,
vitamins, and minerals below the
creanlinc.
(2) Then pay producers on the
basis of what's below the cream-
line—the non-fat solids, not just
on butterfat alone,
The American Dairy Associa-
tion laid the ground work for the
first step at its annual meeting
in Chicago the other day, It voted
to increase its dairy sales pro-
motion fund from $2 million an-
nually to inol'e than $10 million,
To finance the project, dairy
farmers are being asked to con- '
tribute two cents per 100 pounds
of milk, or one-half cent per
pound of butterfat every month
—not just during one or two
months of the year, as hitherto,
The pattern for the second step
may be found in a milk pricing
plan being used in Wisconsin, and
-in a new, quick test for non-fat
milk solids just announced by the
USDA,
n ►
The plight of butterfat is too
familiar to need review, except
that It's growing steadily worse.
'In the past ten years, the average
consumer has cut his butter -buy-
ing almost in half. The cry "oleo
frauds," and the plea "butter is
• better for you and worth the
price" haven't done the job. And
it never will as long as there's a
40 to 45 cent a pound difference
between the two products.
As U.S. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson puts it: "If the pre-
sent trend of consuhption con-
tinues, butter is on the way out,"
Price is the main reason, but
it's not the only one, Every day,
more and more Americans step
gingerly on the bathroom scales,
and decide then and there to shift
• to low-fat, high -protein diets,
Doctors give heart cases, expect-
ant mothers, even overweight
babies, such diets.
This alone should be a tip-off
to the dairyman's future. Fortu-
nately, milk below the creamline
Is one of the' best and cheapest
sources of animal protein,
Apparently a good many con-
sumers agree, for while butter
has been en the skids since 1030,
sales of dried milk have tripled
during the last 20 years. Cheese
consumption has almost doubled.
With a few local exceptions, the
fluid milk business is good, and
getting better,
But in spite of these gains, there
is evidence that we could do a
lot better, if we worked at it,
Here is where ADA with its
new fund can make its weight
felt most—by putting more em-
phasis on fluid milk, cheese, con-
centrated and dried milk, and ice
MUM,
r c .v
• Fluid milk could lake a lot of
the heat off the industry if we
pushed it, so that less of it would
end up as surplus going into but-
ter. Our population is growing.
Incomes are high, Fluid milk con-
sumption should keep going up
steadily. And the beauty of fluid
milk is that it takes care of the
butterfat, too,
Lower prices should be a part
of our sales campaign, They
would help spur consumption.
(Some drop in price is almost
certain when supports are drop-
ped or lowered at the end of
our year of grace,)
Dairy producers night have to
absorb part of the drop; but let's
look more carefully than ever for
ways to lower our marketing
costs,
What oilier food demands the
extra cost of trucks and drivers
to carry it to the housewife's
door? And what other product
demands as much cooling and
storage space after it reaches the
kitchen?
Some of ADA's new budget
should, and probably will be,
thrown into the search for better
concentrated, frozen and dried
milk, The housewife is picking
up more and more of her dairy
foods at the grocery stores. She'll
pick up still more if they're not
so bulky, if they're easter to carry
and store at home,
And she'll buy more of any
dairy products that she can count
on as being tasty and. unifot'ni,
day in and day out.

Many dairy, plants still figure
the selling price of their prod-
ucts on a straight -butterfat basis.

Art to an Artist—Hearing of President Eisenhower's accomplish-
ments as a portrait artist, 15 -year-old Audrey MacAuslan, high
school sophomore,'decided to present him with a sample of her
own artistic talents, Seen above, she holds a portrait of the
President which she painted after studying his face in photo-
graphs.
They carry this back to the dairy-
man—pay him on a butterfat ba-
sis. Hence the dairyman naturally
gears his operations to butterfat.
For decades, he's figured the
production of his cows on a but-
terfat basis, then bred and sel-
ected to a great extent for butter-
fat.
Here's where the USDA's new
milk test could come in, Dairy
plants could adopt this or a sim-
ilar test for,solids-not-fat, and use
it in addition to their test for fat,
Then figure the dairyman's milk
check on the basis of both tests.
a
Will such a plan work? Well,
one ,version of it has been work-
ing for more than 10 .years, in
Wisconsin and surrounding states.
Many dairy plants in this area
pay their producers on the "Frok-
er plan," or the "fat and solids -
not -fat payment plan."
This particular plan is named
for Dean Rudolph Froker, of the
University of Wisconsin, who co-
authored It with' Dean Clifford
Hardin of Michigan State College.
It works on the principle that
butterfat and the non-fat solids
in milk are in a fairly definite
ratio to each other. (See table
be' w.) 1'he plants test for fat,
then figure out from the ratio
tables how much non-fat solids
there are in the milk, Then the
dairyman is paid on the basis
of both parts of his milk, not just
the part above the creamline.
+
Here's the average ratio
of butterfat to non-fat solids
in milk:
fat% solids -not -fat%
3.0 8.27
3.5 8.47
4.0 8.67
4,5 8.87
5.0 9.07
5.5 9.27
6.0 • 9.47
Says D e a n Froker: "'The
straight butterfat method of pay-
ment is now so obsolete that it
should no longer be used, We've
got to keep our eye on the econ-
omic ball— put more emphasis on
total milk solids, and relatively
less on just butterfat."
Both dairymen and plant oper-
ators who use the Froker plan
say that it's more fair, mainly
because it's more flexible. With •
it, dairy plants can do a better
job of adjusting their payments
to reflect •changes in demand for
either .of the two parts of milk
—fat or non-fat solids.

Stakes will I-Iclp
Tall annual flowers and all the
climber's of course will need
some support. Often stakes a
little shorter than the plant is
high and driven in close will be•
sufficient. The plants are tied to
these loosely with soft twine,
raffia or any of the special twist-
ing materials sold by seed stores.
With low' bt►shy plants like peo-
nies, sometimes a hoop of wire or
wood is placed about them and a
foot, or so above the ground. In
E%gland around delphiniums
and with sweet peas early in the
spring they stick bits of brush
in the ground, Gradually the
plant grows about this and hid-
ing it but being firmly sup-
ported just the sane, Most peo-
ple nowadays stake their toma-
toes; at least the early ones.
Usually a six or seven foot stake
is driven firmly in the ground
when the tomato plant is set out.
About every foot of growth the
stem is tied loosely but secure-
ly. All side shoots are nipped off
and towards the end of the sum-
mer to hasten maturity of fruit
the main stem is also nipped,
Two ,Crops a Year
Where space is plaited or
where one wants to get the maxi-
mum out of the vegetable gar=
den, there are various ways of
growing two crops or practical-
ly • so on the same piece of land,
Of course where one goes in for
this intensive sort of gardening,
extra fertilizer is essential and
the soil must be well worked
and rich. In this double cropping
business we alternate rows of an
early kind with a later one, for
instance, radish and carrots, or
lettiuce and beans, or peas and
potatoes. We also have less space
than' normal between the rows,
if necessary no more than 12 or
15 inches, The early stuff, of
course, comes on quickly and is
used up before the later matur-
ing vegetables require full room.
Another practice is to follow the
harvesting of the first vegetables
like the peas, lettuce, spinach,
radish, early onions, etc, with an-
other sowing of the same or
something else that will be ready
say in August or September.
Then there are certain crops like
squash, pumpkins that we can
plant in the outside rows of corn,
or we can have staked tomatoes
along the end of any vegetable
row and cucumber along the
fence.
With flowers, too, it is puss-
ible to get double crops, in fact
Some have even three, Amongst
the spring flowering bulbs they
set out well started petunias,
asters, zinnias, marigolds, etc.
These come into bloom within .a
short time after the last tulips,
and in some uses the first of
these are folloAd again by later
set out plants or by annuals from
seeds such as nasturtiunq, alys-
sum, cosmos, etc. By careful
spacing and . planning and by
using both perennials and an-
nuals it is possible in most parts
of Canada to have some bloom
in the garden from the last snow-
fall to the first.
•Beware Lute frost
In some areas there may be
still danger of lute frost. For a
few extra early and tender
things like melons, cucumbers
and tomatoes one doesn't need
to worry if some protection in
the form of special paper caps or
miniature glass or plastic green-
houses are used. These will fur-
nish ample protection against
quite a severe frost for several
weeks. By using them one can
plant any of these tender things
outside from two to three weeks
earlier than usual.
J^rotection
Now is the time to keep a
sharp watch for attacks of dis-
ease or posts. All of these can
be controlled if counter meas-
ures are taken promptly. On the
market today are all sorts of
prepared dusts and sprays and
simple inexpensive dusters and
sprayers for applications. One
should regard any wilting or
damaged foliage with the, great-
est suspicion., That may mean a
dog or cat has raced through the
garden but it is more likely, to

U}IMY SCIIOOL
LESSON
By Rev R Barclay Warren
B.A.. B.D.
A Preacher in Chaim
Acts 28:11b-24, 30-31
Memory Selection: We know
that all things work together
for good to them that love God,
to them that arc tite called ac-
cording to his purpose, Romana
8;28,
It was a strenuous trip for
Paul the prisoner, from Caesarea
to Rome, The ship had been
bufl'etted by the storms and fin-
ally broken to peices. Ater
three months in Malta they set
sail in another ship, At Puteoli
Paul found some Christians and
spent a week with them. Mean-
while the news of Paul'scoming
reached t h e church at Rume.
The writer of that wonderful
epsitle which they had received
some three years before, and in
w h i c h he hud expressed his
earnest desire to visit them, and
his hope that he should come to
them in the fulness of the bless-
ing of the gospel of Christ (Rom.
1:11.12.15: 15:22.29.28-32), w a s
a1moot at their gates as a pris-
oner of state, and they would
soon see him face to face. They
naturally determined to go and
meet hint, to honour him as an
apostle, and show their love to
him as a brother. The younger
and more active would go' as far
as Appii Forum, about 40 miles
from Rome. The rest only came
as far as The Three Taverns,
about 10 miles nearer to Rome;
When Paul saw these brethren
he thanksd God and took cour-
age, How it lifted his spirit that
these brethren in Christ should
journey so far to sleet him. Peri
haps there was some Judas near
who thought they should have
been working instead, But those
who went wouldn't have missed
that meeting. Remember what
Jesus said about visiting those
who were sick and in prison.
(Matt. 25). Christians are always
blessed when they follow the
teaching of the Bible.
Paul had wanted to preach at
Rome but didn't expect to travel
there at stale expense and be
. provided with a guard as he
preached in his own hired house.
Three days after his arrival he
met the Jewish leaders. At a later
meeting he explained to them
the gospel. As usual, some be-
lieved and some did not. For two
years he continued preaching
and writing letters to the church-
es. Among the converts were
some of Caesar's household.
Chains didn't silence Paul, He,
like John Bunyan who wrote
Pilgrim's Progress, used the sit-
uation for the glory of God.

is difficult to believe that any
•woman can be so hardened.
Picture the man's wife as
she is. Stricken beyond cure,
she lies helpless, bereft of ac-
tive living. Her one happiness
lies in the belief that her hus-
band still loves her, Would
you destroy that faith? If you
try, I believe the man, in spite
of his deceit, would never
look you in the face again,
Perhaps he is not divorcing
her because he has no grounds;
or beneath his sense of guilt,
he has not the heart to deal
her such a blow. Why should
he? You have been a willing
partner in his duplicity. For
hint, the situation is well in
hand.
Many a reader charges me
with blaming the other woman
in an afTair, and excusing the
man; but after all, when a
ratan suggests an illicit alliance,
the decision is the woman's.
You went into this with your
eyes wide open and, loving
hint, I can understand you be-
lieved in his promises of mar-
riage. , But when three long
o years have passed with no tic-
* tion, you should be smart
« enough to see where you
c stand'
'''ell hila that you know it
now, and you are through
waiting.
You may find life back home
as dull as 'you expect. But at
least you will not know the
shame of destroying another
woman's faith.

"Don't you think it would be

When It's Tulip Time In ... Ottawa—Some sof the 750,000 tulips
which visitors are being invited to enjoy at Ottawa's Canadian
Tulip Festival from May 16 to 24 this year. These are on Par-
liament Hill, Other magnificent beds are planted on the Capital
City's Driveways, the Dominion Experimental Farm, beside main
roads and in many parks. Sponsored by the Ottawa Board of -
Trade, the Tulip Festival is designed to bring Canadians from
other parts of the country to see their capital city as well as its
unmatched beauty. —photo by Motak
Tulip Festival
Magnificent Sight
The first annual Canadian Tu-
lip Festival is to be held al Ot-
tawa this year, May 16 to 24.
With 750,000 bulbs to provide
a •magnificent display — unpara-
lleled on the North American
continent — the citizens of the
capital city want Canadians from
far and near to share in the eU-
joyment of this unique floral
spectacle.
It is not only the number of
tulips on display that make Ot-
tawa's showing unique, but also
their setting in Canada's capital
city and the method by which
'they are displayed, This meth-
od, as used by the capital's Fed-
eral District Commission, is call-
ed a "flowing mass display."
All the fundamental principles
of design — harmony, contrast,
repetition, sequence and balance
— are b r o it g Ir t into play to

y Gwettdoltt e P Clot tz
Last week 1 had a letter from
a friend that ended this way—
"Why docs everything happen to
us?" The writer had good reason
for asking that question as her
fancily seems to have more than
its share of trouble of various
kinds. Long after 1 had read the
letter the query she had raised
remained in racy mind and I
wondered how many of us, in
our own time, have asked the
stone thing—and generally in
connection with family problems,
•from which none of us escapes—
sicki ess, accidents, financial dif-
ficulties, or quite often a com-
bination of all three, for it would
seem that trouble never comes
singly. Often it is one thing after
another and we think, even if
we don't say it — "Why does
everything happen to us?" Isn't
that right, friends, haven't you,
more than once, had occasion to
ask the very same thing?
But supposing Lady Luck has
smiled upon us—supposing the
timings we worried about never
happened; the loved one who was
ill made a remarkable recovery;
the lack of farm help vas sudden-
ly solved by the return of a man •
who had worked for us years
ago; or housing acconmodution
was relieved in a miraculous way
by an offer to those who shared
our home. Au unexpected legacy
might even have come our way
—or perhaps we hit it lucky on
a radio programme! Or it could
be that some member of our fam-
ily escaped unhurt in an auto-
mobile accident. Now I wonder,
when good, instead of bad luck,
comes our way, do we still soy
to ourselves—"Why docs every-
thing happen to us!" 1 venture
to guess that few of us even think
of asking such a question 'under
those conditions. We take it all
for granted and go merrily on
our way. Such illogical creatures
as most of us are!
But then, we are no more in;
consistent than the weather, Here
we are, after an almost snowless
winter—that is, in Ontario's ba-
nana belt—ready and anxious to
get on with our outdoor spring
chores, and what sort of weather
do we get? Snow, of all, things

achieve eye-catching designs, in-
stead of dispersing the effect
through many small beds the
'main tulip beds are larger and
are built around a few strong
colors with other lesser colors
to provide accent' The effect
achieved is so striking that it has
caught the eye of everyone who
has visited the capitol city dur-
ing tulip time.
'trite Canadian who visits
Ottawa during tulip time can see
approximately 200 varieties of
tulips, some in beds of 70,000,
set against the background of
Ottawa's farted parkways, pub-
lic buildings and parks.
The Canadian Tulip Festival
has leen started this year be-
cause the Ottawa Board of Trade
feels that the city's magnificent
tulip display belongs to all Can-
adians. It, is expected that,
through the years, the 'Tulip Fes-
tival will become as famous as
the Cherry Blossom Festival in
Washington.
winds. Too cold and rough to
work outside with any degree of
pleasure --or even inside with-
out fires or furnace. In fact we
might well say with Samuel Cole-
ridge—"The spring comes slowly
up this way". Or is it that we
are a little previous in our an-
ticipation of its coming? Most of
us looked for an early spring, but,
as so often happens, our expec-
tations fell short.
Yesterday, for instance—such
'u cold, miserable day—not much
chance of visitors, we thought.
But, by three o'clock we had a
party of .foto', and, while ' I was
getting tea for therm, three more
arrived.
Today, Monday, we have ex-
tra jobs to do, Right now, a man
is at the barn dehorning • a couple
of heifers. Ayrshire cattle grow,
such wicked . horns. You would
think, after -years of domesticity,
cattle would stop growing horns
—like the Polled Angus. Horns
are not only a menace to farmers.
but also a menace to the cattle
themselves. A cow, nearing calv-
ing time', can receive injury by
a bossy stable -nate, a little too
busy with her horns. And what
those same horns can do to a
fence isn't funny, Sometimes we
1401-e
\howl
stop the growth of horns tvhctt
the calves tore little and some-
times we don't. If we have a Pura
of several bu11 calves' in succes-
sion we have lost the habit by the
lime a holler calf conics along,
Another job on hand for today
is an electrical check-up. We find
that switch boxes down the barn
gradually get choked with dust
and chnll, and when this becomes
damp, through humidity, or by
repeated freezing and thawing,
a short circuit will sometimes
result --so we try to get ahead of
the game if we can. It is often
quite a job to find an electrician
who isn't too busy for these small
jobs so when we •do get a man
here I generally have a job or
two lined up for him myself.
This time it is an outlet in my
little office—at present 1 have ex-
tension cords trailing across the
floor because my room is the back
half of what was one big room
when the house was wired, I re-
member when the wiring was
done the e'ectrician said—"Don't
ever be afraid of having too many
outlets—and I'll guarantee that
no matter how many I put in you
will still Lind, as time goes on,
that you haven't enough." He
was right, there were 45 outlets
to start with—and we are still
adding to that 'number. Some
people do little odd electrical
jobs like that themselves but in
our family no one feels he knows
enough about the work to do a
safe job, For which i am very
thankful, l would rather we paid
to have a job done by an expert
than have it bungled by an ama-
teur. Far 1)01101' to be safe than
sorry.
HIS FUNNIEST
Jimmy "Schnozzola" Durante
thinks that the funniest line he
ever had in a show was from a
scene .ol' "Jumbo," the Rodgers -
Hart - Hecht extravaganza that
Billy Rose produced in the Hip-
podrome in 1936. Durance ap-
peared upon the stage with a
mammoth elephant in tow, sup-
posedly stolen from a circus
owner who was holding out on
Jimmy's back salary. A constable
stopped it t rat and demanded,
"Where did you get that ele-
phant?" Durante, the picture of
outraged innocence, answered,
"What elephant?" "That was such
a wonderful line," recalls Jimmy,
"that even the elephant busted
out laughin' a couple time a
week."
At one performance the ele-
phant, named Turfy, forgot that
he had been house-broken. Dur -
ante sent the audience into hy-
sterics by exclaiming, "Hey,

At the University of Wtstonm,
three scientists insisted they
heard corn growing one warm,
quiet night in August. In the
;middle of a 100 -acre cornfield
owned by the university they
set 111) equipment to meast'rc the
wind and temperature and then
started recording all sounds on
a tape recorder. Later, they
played the record back. Bt iden-
tifying all other sounds picked
up by the recorder, the scientists
—an agronomist, a meteorologist
and a science editor — picked
out the sound made by growing
corn. Couldn't be anything else.
Experts say corn grows mostly
at night, sometimes as much as
two to five inches a night, And,
apparently, with a snapping,
crackling sound.

6e, Eeme/t9veladoot
• The afternoon of Saturday, May 2, was
the occasion of the seventy-ninth run-
ning of the Kentucky Derby, at Churchill
Downs, Louisville, Scores of thousands of
out-of-town novelty seekers were pres-
ent, The local and visiting attenuancc
lifted the total to a r o u n d 100,000.
And it's all about a race that doesn't seem to deserve the a.t-
tention, publicity and money lavished upon it.
For the Derby isn't a derby, to begin with—not in the
requirements of distance, for example. Of course, in America,
the term "derby" has conte to be used very loosely, and very
frequently. All sorts of tracks have a "derby" annually. But
few, if any,' parallel the daddy of all derbies, the Epsom
Downs race, in the matter of distance,
This Kentucky Derby, run annually on the first Saturday
of May furnishes the first test of three -year-olds over the
distance of one and one-quarter miles, This Is one-fourth of
a mile short of the regular Derby distance as established by
the English classic run at Epsom Downs, from which the mune
"derby" is derived. The English race is at a mile and a half,
and is raced in early June.
The Kentucky race occurs almost too early for eligible
females of this age to compete on equal terms with colts. And
it is too early to condition even the males of the species for
a ]0 -furlong struggle,
You may think that transportation difficulties are annoy-
ing now. But back in 1875, the year the Derby was first run as
a modest little race, the sporting folks of the era who attended
really had grief, The "Louisville Jockey Club race -track" since
labeled Churchill Downs, was so far from the city that horse-
drawn street cars required two hours to make the trip. Many
of the customers started to walk the distance early in, the
morning. Others went in wagons, buggies and on horseback.
Attending the Derby in the seventies and eighties was a jour-
ney, not a trip.
Arrangements for the race were primitive, There was,
of course, nothing like a starting gate, Even the web barrier
of 40 years ago was unknown. The starter drew a line in the
dirt across the track with the butt of the flag he used to start
the field and then lined up the candidates well behind it. A
walk-up start was the system.
When "Col. Johnson of Nashville", the starter for the first
of all Kentucky Derbies, got his field in alignment 'he flashed
down his flag. A drum sounded the official start and the field
was off.
There were many other differences between the races of
those early days, and now. It has gained in importance, in
glamour, in attendance, and in speculative interest, so who are
we to point out ntlnor technical shortcomings of the continent's
No, 1. glamour race?

Sour Feelings
The Ontario farmer works hard
6. and produces as much as he can
at as little expense..as he . can.
Without any strong organized
bargaining power he ' has little
control over his prices and most
of the time has to take for his
product what he is told to take.
He has just as little control
over his expenses as far as pro-
duction is concerned; He can
economize by foregoing personal
conveniences, but when he buys'
gas and oil and spare parts for
his tractor, or concentrates and
teed grain' for his cattle, he has
.to pay what he is told to pay.
It is therefore with sour feel-
ings that the farmer listens to.or
reads the good advice dished out.
to him by learned guest speakers
.at , farm meetings or in wise
editorials by writers usually not
encumbered with any factual
knowledge.

In an editorial chastising the
tomato growing farmers of Ont-
ario for "pricing themselves out
of the market," some agricultural
expert blamed the existing sur-
plus of canned tomatoes on an
increase of the producer price of
$1.50 per ton.
We have n e v e r been very
efficient with the one R dealing
with figures, but tried our luck
anyway with a pencil aild a
piece of paper.
Endeavouring to divide 150
cents by 2,000 pounds of toma-
toes we caine — with all due
apology to our old• math teacher
—to the result of 71/2 of one
hundredth of one cent, or in other
words a little more than one
thirteenth of one cent per pound
of tomatoes.'
It is really too bad that the
greedy tomato growers by such
excessive demands have caused
the closing of 4 or 5 canneries in
Eastern Ontario. e
'All too Little I
Having disposed of the tomato
dilemma, It might be interesting
to d9 a little more •probing into
producer and consumer prices.
How •much or how little does the
farmer actually get from the
housewife's dollar? The answer
is in the following column:
Farmer's
Commodity: Price: Share:
Milk 21c 10c
Bread lee 3c
Canned corn 16c 31/2c
Canned tomatoes 17c 31/4c.
Roastbeef Ib 55c 24c
Skim milk powder .Ib. 39c nothing
Cabbage Ib. 5c lc
In view of these figures will
any person of average IQ really
maintain that a difference of a
few hundredth of one cent in
the ,producer price would make
any difference in the consumer
price and create buyer resist-
ance?

But outside the ring Carter
has so little color -- excepting
in his skin — and acts so differ-

thanks. "Jimmy couldn't wear

Shades of Jack Johnson!
* a
Carter, born Dee. 15, 1923, at
Aiken, S. C., was brought to
Philadelphia, with two brothers,
by his widowed mother when he
was yet a m a 11. •When he was
nine, Mom moved the family to
New York's I-Iarlem.
James William, named for a
grandfather, completed grade
school and attended high school,
belt he soon had to get out and
work. As a boy, he boxed in,a
Catholic youngsters' club. Ile
left a grocery clerk's job in 1943
to enter the army. He was in
three years, serving in England,
France and the Philippines, He
won a camp championship and
had a few bouts overseas.
On his return from overseas
Carter came to the notice of Wil-
lie Ketchum, a well known
trainer of fighters.
Ketchum promptly put the
willing newcomer into intensive
training. He found him easy to
handle, and, by, the spring of
1940, had him boxing prelinm5.
Jimmy was a good four -round
boy. Too good. Before long, his
reputation made it tough to get
matches for him.
* * a

Works in Carter's corner, re-
calls;
"I remember how faithfully
he'd train, day after day. Some-
times he'd have to borrow a
dime to get home. He'd work
Public Relations
Farmers know that the price
spread between producer and
consumer is far too great. They
know that too many middlemen
take too much out of the con-
sumer's food dollar.
The. people who do not know
it are the good folks in the cities
and towns of Ontario. Misled and
misinformed by tomato -brained
journalists, they are inclined to
blame the farmer, if they think
that they are paying too much for
'their milk and bread and meat.
• The housewife shopping at the
corner -store does not know that'
the producer does not get a frac-
tion of a cent.out of the 39 cents
she has to pay for a pound of
dried skim milk powder;
"Dagwood" may yell 'bud at
the sight of the grocery bill, but
he does not realize that profits
of the meat packers were the
highest ever in 1952 when pro-
ducer prices went .down by 'al-
most 40 per cent, while consumer
prices did not follow suit.
I1 food prices arc too high, the
responsibility lies not with the
producer, ' but the distributor.
The farmer can help by bringing
out the facts.
Here is a public relations job
for the farm organizations to do,
which in the end will benefit
both, the producer and the con-
sumer.

with Denis Pat Brady, a good
fighter then, and he'd raise the
dickens."
In little over a year, Carter
was fighting ten -rounders with
tough cookies like Joe Blown
and Charley Cabey Lewis, Also
Sandy Saddler, wherein hangs a
very interesting story, "Al Weill
was In Washington," Ketchum
says, "and he said, 'You're mak-
ing $150 tops with Carter; I'll
give you $500 for him to fight
Saddler.' I said, 'Are you kid-
ding? Saddler knocks guys out.
I got just a steady -boxing guy.'
Well, you know Weill, he wears
you down. ►
"I took it and, in the first two
rounds, Carter was' doing noth-
ing. Conning up for the third, I
jumped on him, '1 put you in
this because 1 thought you could
win. Now, do something!' He
never stopped. i thought he won
it, but they called it a draw."
A top workman in the clubs
during 1948, Carter inevitably
wandered up a dead-end street.
He couldn't get money matches.
In 1950 Carter was so res-
pected, and avoided, that he had
only three fights in the entire
year. * * *
Carter's title break came early
in 1951 when he upset Percy
Bassett, strong Philadelphia con-
tender, at St. Nick's. The brain
trust for Ike Williams, then
reigning, decided he was "de-
serving of the chance."
On May 25, 1951, in Madison
Square Garden, he flabbergasted
a small "studio audience" and a
big television audience by drop-
ping Williams four times before
knocking hien out in the 14th
round. The next day America
queried: "Who is Carter?"
New York still showed no
great interest in hire and Ket-
chum took him to California J'or
over -the -weight battling. In his
third start there he lost to Art
Aragon, but he struck gold, be-
cause the setback set up a title
meeting with the so-called Gold-
en Boy, for which Carter was
paid $30,000.40
During 1952, Jimmy went to
the post nine times, three times
for the crown, all with Salas. He
Won the first so handily, he
couldn't work up respect for the
Mexican in the second, accord-
ing to Ketchum,
Carter's boiling point was
reached finally when they fought
again, at Chicago, in the fall of
last year. Salas didn't win a
round on many score -cards un-
til the eleventh, and then he took
only three of 15,
As 1952 ended, Carter's career
record stood at 79 fights, 59 vic-
•tories against 13 defeats, 21
knockouts and 38 decisions, with
seven draws,
Jimmy has been on the floor
only once, against Tommy Camp-
bell, whom he policed promptly
on getting up.
Ketchum points out Carter is
a "natural" lightweight, except
when he goes on an eating spree
and blow s himself up to 145
pounds.
Family man Carter is conser-
vative in dress, he has no more
than a dozen quiet suits, and, if
he has been in a night club half
a dozen times, it is a lot. In his
tenure as champ he has 'saved a
little money and, prepared to
campaign actively, he expects to
save a lot more.
He expects to open a liquor
,store, someday; how could he
miss in that calling? asks Lester
Bromberg in The Police Gaz-
ette. Being a one -beer man at
best, he'd never drink up even a
small part of the profits..
