on the mound for Blyth, went the d's•

by pulling himself out of a few tight
spots, 'and generally speaking pitching
good, sound ball, with .lots of hop on
the ball, and good control, 'His bat-

Barrie, and Bruce also caught a fine
game, "Turk" and "Wimp," as they
are known to their intimates, are both

gives Blyth bright hopes for future
years.
The AIr Force scored a run in the
opening Inning, and Blyth came right

mate aboard. Fitzsimmons came back
next time at bat with another ilei•.

close fit. Blyth got two men on in the
last of The eighth, but no runs across
the plate, and the Air Force frilled to
score in their half of the ninth.
Blyth was minus two of their regu-
lars for the entire game. As we men-
tioned, Bruce Barrie caught in the ab•

filled in most creditably at short s op
for l;he absent Donnie Johnston, and
Dennis Weymouth played second base
during the opening innings when Reg.

There's some 'nighty, good softball to
be seen, amidst pleasant surroundings
at the Community Park, No (natter

BAD NIGIIT AT AILSA CRAIG
We'd like to forget this .one - and
so would the Legionairres, but 11 must
be reported that aided and abetted by
the worst umpiring of the year, the
Legionairres took a real shellacking
at Ailsa Craig' on Saturday night.
The score.was 19 to 1 for Ailsa Craig.
Blyth's lone run via a booming hone
run off the bat of mighty Scott.
According to reports Aliso Craig,
through no fault of their own, fielded
11 men, 9 regulars, and the two um-
pires, a:he lest two gentlemen. being the
most valuable on the field so far as
contributing to the lob -'sided score is
concerned.
When the Legionairres protested too
vehemently, the_Unp. called the game
and ordered them out of The Bark.
The Ailsa Craig fans were sports
enough to condemn some of the deck -
ions made by the officials, and the
Ailsa Craig team prevailed on the
Umps to continue the struggle to the

VENGEFUi. VICTORY ON PART OF
LEGIONETI'ES
It was sweet revenge for Eddie Bell
and his Legionettes when they tangled
here last Friday night with the Mount
Forest girls. About a week hence
Mount Forest had drubbed our girls
h1 n 4 -point fixture, The game on Fri-
day night was also a 4 -pointer, having
been ).arranged between the teams to
save the extra
The Legionettes left little doubt of
who was the better team and by the
end of the third inning had estab'ish-
ed an insurmountable 9 to 0 lead, to
Well they added two more runs each
in the 5th and 6th innings.
Maxine Honking, on the omund for
the Legionettes, appeared to be head-
ing for a shut -out, but in the fifth in-
ning Holiday spoiled that possibility
by connecting for a home run deep in
to centre field. The Mount Forest
girls, noted :for their ability at. the bat,
were helplessly mired against Maxine's
twirls, She however was her own
worst enemy, and issued 10 walks dur-
ing the nine inning struggle. She also
had 11 strikeouts, Her sister, Delphiue
kept what base runners Mount Forest
had respectably close to the sacks, and
the rest of the team backed the battery
up with good, sound plays. One crowd
pleaser in particular, was executed by
Betty 'halt at third base, with Lois
Augustine at first, to complete it. Bet-
ty charged a slow roller to third like a
veteran, grabbed •it and fired in the
same motion to first base, The throw
was slightly low end to one side, but
Lois' strcitched low and out, also like
a veteran, to cetch the- runner by -an
eyelash. .It was a swell play, albeit
one that we don't recommend for the
girls, only in dire cases.
McDcan, on the mound for Mount
Foreo, struck out 7 Legionettes, and
issued 3 walks. Her support in the
field was rather shaky at times.

The spark of lawn bowling is being
kept alive in this village by two stet -
warts of the sport, Bert Gray and
Harold Vodden, who are taking every
opportunity possible to participate in
tournaments held at various district

winning so far, but undoubtedly will
click as the season advances, and they
round into good form,
Incidentally we learn with genuine I
regret, as no doubt many others will,
that the Blyth bowling green property
will cone up for County tax sale this I
year, unless ways and means are de-
rived to save the property from (his
unfortunate fate.
Should it fall by the wayside, it will
melte an excellent building lot for

CROP REPORT
By G. W. Montgomery
he past week has seen the best
haying weather to date, However,
haying is only approximately one half
completed in the County, Farmers re•
port they are having considerable dif-
ficulty in curing the hay because of
the extreme dampness of the "round.
All other crops made rapid ginwth'dur-
ing the week, which js commencing to
turn colour and nithough some farm-
ers report slight rusting the crop 011
the whole is above average,
There is still quite a number of
heavy cattle in the County which ore
being held by fanners in hopes of
higher prices.
' A bolt of lightning is believed to 'ae
responsible for ate unfortunate barn
fire tat the farm home of Mr, and Mrs.
Jack Snell, jr., 10111 concession of Hul-
Iett Township, 2 miles west. of Lon-
desboro on Tuesday afternoon.
The fire siren at Blyth summoned
Blyth firemen to the scene in response
to a call for help from the Snell's.
Mrs. Snell emerged from the house
immediately following a tremendous
clap of thunder and lightning flash, to
see smoke rising from the barn.
Neighbours hurried to the scene, but
as is so often the case in such caltun-
ities, nothing could save the stricken
building. Destroyed also was an ad-
joining pig house and hen house.
Thirteen calves and 11 pigs are
known to have perished, according to

CONGRATS FROM SUBSCRIBER
Writing to renew her subscription,
Mrs. A. B. Grainger, 2530 Edgar Street,
Regina, Sask., extends congratulations
to the Editor on winning a television
set.
We have the set working now, Mrs.
Grainger, and freak or not, the recep•
tion has been marvelous during night-
time, for almost, a week. The only
- fault is the late hours one is enlisted
to keep. Just when you should be re-
tiring for a good night's rest, is when
reception is the best. We would ad-
vise anyone making -such an installa-
tion to install a rotary aerial, which
appears to be a definite advantage in
a fringe area, and of course, in view of
the fact that we won the set for a $2,00
book of tickets, make sure you buy a

°GINGER FARM
Yesterday four of us took a
run around the country, with-
in a ten -mile rt.dius of home.
What we saw probably describes
most of central Ontario', farm
lands. Wheat — excellent. Hay
— in abundance but more. of it
standing than cut or in bales,
and only a few fields hen been
cleared Spring crop — light and
patchy, some of it in head. Corn
— in many cases only a few
inches above the ground. Gar-
dens -- fair. Trees, shruc•s and
hedges — luxuriant growth, •
The day was hot and sultry
but at the county park, at Low-
ville — which we passed on out
way — "kiddies and grown-ups
too" were having a grand time
by the shady Twelve Mile
creek, We bought ice-cream at
the booth and Arthur gavr some
of his to a little wee- terriet
that came around. That did it!
The little dog promptly followed
us, wherever we went and we
couldn't find ,out to whom it. be-
longed. The only time it Left us
was when a big German Shep-
herd hove in sight. Size meant
nothing to Midget -- he chal-
lenged the big dog with undis-
guised fury. When we • were
ready to leave the park we asked
a little boy and his mother to
look after Midget until we were
out of sight, although Arthur
would love to have brought the
little dog hone with hiim
We left the park and travelled
along gravel roads until we were
on top of the escarpment, from
there we had a magnificent view
of the country for miles around,
I wonder . is there anything
more awe-inspiring than beau-
tiful scenery? It sort of does
something to you that you can't
explain. Yesterday I realized
how this bountiful wooded dis-
trict must have cheered the early
settlers, trekking through Onta-
rio in search of suitable sites for
their future homes. This south-
ern part of Nelson Township was
the first part of Halton county
to see white settlers. The Bates
family, in 1800 were the first
settlers, and Augustus Bates, the
first white baby of Halton Coun-
ty, was born in Nelson Township.
It must have been a lonely or-
deal for the Bates family as the
township made little progress
towards settlement unti: 1807
when a few more families moved
in. However, by 1850 the popula-
tion had increased to 3,277. The
first Presbyterian Church was
built in 1822 on a farm owned by
Gilbert Bastedo.- The first Meth-'
odist church was built soon af-
terwards. The Reverend Egerton
Ryerson was one of the first
ministers to preach in this dis-
trict. The southern part of Nel-
son township was the scene of
many a hard fought battle be-
tween the Indians and the first
homesteaders, Many of the early
settlers also took part in the
battle of 1812, no doubt fighting
for strategic positions along the
escnrpment. •
From thrs top of the hilts look-
ing down to the 'alley, across
the still heavily wooded slopes,
It is not too difficult to visualize
the life of the hardy imeogrants
who settled here, defying the
Indians, making a clearing
among the heavy ,timber, ani
at long last, harvesting good
crops from the fertile soil. On
mail boxes along the road, one
reads familiar names, direct
descendants of the early settlers
Without a doubt many of these
farmers treasure the Crown
deed to their property — as we
do ours, Many of the industries,
lumber ands grist mills have dis-
appeared but others have taken
their place. One of the largest
gravel pits. in Ontario, along
with all the bull -dozers, stone
crushers, power shovels and all
such equipment, is situated at

Keep Young Swimmers Out Of Danger
In the July issue of "Better
Living" Andre Fontaine has an
article entitled "Keep Swimmers
Out Of Danger"—an article so
timely and with such useful pos-
sibilities that we're reprinting it,
In p a r 1, without waiting for
permission from Mr. Fontaine, or
the Dominion Stores who control
the distribution of the mahazine.
After all, courtesy is one thing
—but not so Important as the
possibility of preventing a fens
unnecessary tragedies.
Every time your child swims
in your local pool his life ntay
be endangered. Precisely how
great the danger is, scientists do
not know. Though polluted
water often contains polio virus,
test after test in the' laboratory
has failed to prove—without a
fraction of doubt—that children
with polio were infected by
swimming in unclean water. in
fact there is room for the suspi-
cian that swimming has nothing
to do with the virus transference.
Recent research by the American
Public Health Association states
that swimming pools are not a
major public health menace, but
that the danger in pools should
be watched and curbed to an ab-
solute minimum. For • years ail-
ments have been traced to bath-
ing places—a very few cases of
typhoid, many sinus infections,
cases of the skin diseases, impe-
tigo and athlete's foot. Doctors
have also tracked to this source
dysentery, occasional mastoid and
bone infections and, in Wisconsin
and Michigan, a local ailment
called "swimmer's itch," chased
by worm larvae.
The effects of underwater
swimming on human subjects
were studied by the U.S. Public
Health Service and a prepara-
tory school in New England. The
U.S.P.H.S. study centered in
three test areas—Long Island
Sound, Lake Michigan and the
Ohio River, covering ocean, lake
and river waters—places where
people have bathed for many
generations without a second
thought, The conclusion reached
was startling and simple, People
who go in swimming are sick
oftener than those who don't,
regardless of the purity of the
water. The New England study,
conducted by Dr. Roswell Gal-
lagher, showed that the boy who
swam in the school pool comes
down with more of the virus
diseases, like mumps and measles,
than the boy who stayed out of
the water.
But try and keep. any child in-
side the house when it's 102° in
the shade. Swimming 'is a lot of
fun' and wonderful .exercise—it's
the only exercise which calls
all the muscles into play with-
out strain, and with coordination.
We've come to realize that a child
is in danger from the time he
gets out of bed in the morning;
he might step on a marble. fall
and break' an arm. So the com-
mon-sense question is: What are
the dangers and what will pro-
tect your child against therm?
No hazard is greater than pol-
luted water. Most swimming
pools take a precaution against
'bacteria in the water by adding
germ -killing chlorine. Health de-
partments, which keep a safety
eye on these pools, require that
enough chemical chlorine be used
to hold the bacteria count down
to a count of 200 bacteria per
milliliter of water. This, up un-
til recently, has been .thought of
as a low danger point and is the
figure specified by the Ameri-
can Public Health Association.
Pool water is sampled every day
or on a tw9-day frequency to
make sure the count goes - no
higher.
The big "1f" factor, is the time
this sample is taken, This test
was tried on cr pool in Hartford,
Connecticut, by several scientists
from the Yale School of Public
Health, If, for example, the safe-
ty .count was taken in the morn-
ing, the ratio of bacteria to water
ranged around 200, meaning the
• water was 'quite safe. If the

ings. One of the loveliest home -
owned gardens I have ever seen
is at the residence adjoining the
Lowville feed mill. To give an
instance --can you imagine any-
thing more striking than crim-
son ramblers against a back
ground of blue spruce?
There are some wonderful
houses too -- houses over a hun-
dred years old, and, by contrast.
there also fine, modern • dwel-
lings amid landscaped grounds.
One doesn't need to go into these
houses to know they are equip-
ped and styled like magazine

tors think a home should be.

samples were taken in the after-
noon, when the largest nu►nber
of people attended the pool, the
count hit 2,000 or over—water
so clear you could see bottom,
with all the dangers of a murky
polluted pond.
\Here was an above.average
pool, meeting every requirement
of the health department, that
admitted to a soaring bacteria
count when most swimmers were
in the water. Unfortunately this
has been the common and un-
questioned danger of every swim-
ming pool. Nothing could be done
about 1114' health clanger signal
—until now.
Neta Cleansing Process
A pioneering group of scion•
Lists from Yale, headed by Pro-
fessor Eric Mood, have worked
out a new process of water puri-
fication which puts us one step
further along the road toward
stopping disease before it starts.
Called in science journals "high -
free residual chlorination," it
means to those who enjoy the
swimming sport that pool water
can be made free of germs—and
kept that way. This is done by
putting ten to twenty times more
chlorine into the water than is
used currently; despite the quan-
tity the water is Less irritating
to the eyes and skin of swim-
mers than under the old method.
Mood's new process had its
trial dip at the Hartford pool,
Measuring the average bacteria
of samples of water taken during
the afternoon's peak, the count
which once had tntaled 2,000,
was now 1.
High -free residual chlorination,
the newly discovered Yale puri- •
fication process, is so new that it
was announced to Mood's fellow
scientists only a few months ago.
Experimental tests conducted
over a period of twd years at
the Smith College pool never re-
vealed any drawbacks. Swim-
ming pools across the country
probably will adopt this new
purification measure this year;
if yours hasn't, urge it,
Other Dangers, Other defenses
But aside from water pollu-
tion, there are other dangers in
swimming that you ought to
know about. Several of these
were summed up by Dr. H. Mar-
shall Taylor in the Journal of
the American Medical Associa-
tion when he pointed out that
"man is not normally a water
animal." He's not equipped with
adequate protection for keeping
water out of eyes, nose, ears and
sinuses; nor has he inherited a
satisfactory system for maintain-
ing normal body temperatures
in cold water. Consequently, says
Dr. Taylor, "unless he takes cog-
nizance of the limitations nature
has placed on him, he subjects
himself to the likelihood of con-
tracting the infections that 'fre-
quently beset swimmers."
All experts agree that the num-
ber one thing to avoid is chilling.
When your child becomes chill-
ed, his resistance is lowered and
he's fair game for any bacteria
or virus. This means you
shouldn't let him wear his suit
in the pool and hone again; he
should change as soon as he
comes out of the water. Also it's
better if he doesn't 'stay in too
long. Whether "too long" is fif-
teen minutes or three hours de- ,
pends on the child. Some young-
sters have an insulating layer of
ISSUE 29 — 1953
fel Illu1 protea.t;; !hem for hours;
others have none and may get,
chilled in a few tnir:u!e;.
Guarding Against Eye
and Ear '!'rouble
Protection of eyes, eats, masa
and sinuses again -varies from
case to case, If your child has
frequent situs infections, it
would probably be wisest if lot
stayed away from diving or
jumping into the water—one of
the quickest ways of forcing
water into the sinuses. A nosh
clip might be a safeguard. If he
has had ear infections, he prob-
ably should wear ear plugs.
Watch your child's eyes for signs
of inflammation because water
washes away the protective fluid
that normally guards the eyes.
Don't permit him to swim if he
or anybody else at a pool hies
highly contagious pink eye.
There are other ailments that
stage their attack at pools, notab-
ly athlete's foot and impetigo.
"Impetigo is transmitted most
frequently," says Professor Mood,
"by use of the common towel.'
Be sure your child has his own
towel and that he isn't gener-
ously sharing it with his pals.

• • The greatest tennis player of all time,
in the estimation of many experts, passed
in the death of a man whose late years
were unfortunately shadowed. Whether
Big Bill 'Tilden was the greatest, as so
many claim, will always be a point of
contention, as all superlative ratings
must be, But there is no question he was the greatest show-
man of all the tennis stars. •
Tilden was a flamboyant, swaggering figure in sport's Big
Six of the Golden Era of sport, the Roaring Twenties. Jack
Dempsey, Bobby Jones, Babe Ruth, Red Grange, Walter Hagen
and Tilden were figures such as are never likely to grace
the sport scene again, certainly not at one time.
And none was a greater showman than Tilden. Even in the
most important circumstances he could not overcome an ob-
session that ruled him, a desire to see if he could give the
other fellow a handicap and still beat him.
Perhaps the most conspicious instance in which this sheer
gamble came to the surface was when Tilden was playing a
Davis Cup match with the Japanese team member Shimidzu—
a fine player, too.
Tilden, apparently through deliberate design, in the opi-
nion of experts who saw the match, allowed "Shimmy" to
win the first two sets anti to get within match point of the
third set before turning on the heat.
Then he began firing in cannonading fashion, and "Shim- • '
my" lost that third set and the next two as well, suffering
defeat in a match that had seemed already won. The set
scores were 5-7, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-1.
Tilden did the same thing in another Davis Cup match,
but this time'it was done in a fit of pique. That was in 1923
and the Australian team was the challenging group. The
matches were played at Forest Hills.
John 13. Hawkes and James' 0. Anderson were the Aus•
tralian aces. In a singles match, after winning the first set,
Tilden made a splendid play' in the second set. His return
went close to the base line. The linesman called it "in." This
point won him the set.
The crowd booed the linesman's decision, That irked the
sensitive Tilden. But his anger took a peculiar twist, Instead
of turning in and endeavoring to beat the Australian quickly,
he deliberately threw the next set to his opponent, 6-1. It
was his way of responding to the crowd's booing. He deliber-
ately handicapped himself in order to show his contempt for
the crowd and perhaps for his opponent.
Then he „cut loose. Be poured in everything he had. ile
won the fourth set and the match in decisive fashion.
A great showman, a tremendous tennis player, he made
America tennis -conscious in the '20's, when the game was far
less popular than now. That he could command attention in
such an era, when sportdom was populated by giants, speaks
highly of his qualities.

flanks. Then they began to ,drink.
The English visitor walked to
the water's edge, scooped up the
water and drank. It was salt.
The stockman to whom he re-
counted this extraordinary story
of sheep drinking salt -water re-
mained nonchalant about it. Pa-
tiently, he explained that the
sheep were drinking fresh water
which had welled up in the sea.
The sheep who apparently
drank salt -water made the
world's headlines sixty years
ago. They also led to the dis-
covery of a great sub -artesian
basin of fresh water in South
'Australia. -
Nuttcre's Reservoir
In remote ages there were
large depressions on Eyre's Pen-
insula in South Australia. These
great hollows filled with sand
and became a reservoir, which
to -day holds seven -and -a -half
thousand million gallons at wa-
ter: This water is pumped to the
surface and used for irrigation
and the watering of stock.
The South Australian basin 1s
one of 'a number of such regions
in Australia—one of them, the
Great Artesian Basin, lies under
600,000 square miles of the coun-
try —mare than one-fifth of the
entire continent, The daily flow
from these artesian basins has
been estimated at about,, 40O mil-
lion gallons. The quality of the
water is usually fairly good,
Much of the rain that Palls on
Australia sinks through the -soil
till it reaches an impervious
rock layer. It runs along the top
of this, perhaps some hundreds
of .feet below the soil, and even-
tually comes up as a spring,
Off the eastern coast . of Aus-
tralia fresh water wells up from

A week or so ago ninny thou-
sands of the citizens of Chicago
turned up at Wrigley Field, part-
ly to see a ball game and partly
to pay tribute to a character who,
at an age when most ball -tossers
are nursing dead arms and mem-
ories, still manages to do a pretty
fair chore of mound duty.
f 4 4
'1'he character leferred to is,
of codrse, Dutch Leonard who
admits to 43 years — not so old
as the one and only Satchel Paige,
but still a remarkable age for
an active pitcher.
4
a ,
This durable Dutchman goes
right on working, in spite
of Father Time, chiefly because
of the simple device of throwing
baseballs with his knuckles ra-
ther than his fingers. For some
reason this style of pitching
seems to require but little wear
and tear on the hearer's physi-
cal equipment, , , •
r » ,
The Cubs, who acquired Dutch
sometime in 1949, might have
saved themselves 20 years of
waiting for their bull pen stal-
wart. During 1929, a year note-
worthy in other respects, young
Dutch Leonard hitchhiked to
Chicago from Auburn and
promptly applied to the Cubs for
a tryout. At the time no one con-
nected with the Wrigley Field
outfit seemed interested, so the
pitcher settled down to reaching,
his destination by a more circuit -
out route. He finally got there, 12
railroad stops and 20 years later.
In between Dutch had quite a
career for himself in the Ameri-
can League, He was picked on six
All-Star teams there, being the
winning pitcher in the 1943 game,
Casey Stengel had helped' to
make all of that possible by get-
ting rid of Dutch after the 1036
Flameproof Fireman —.Walking
through flames unsinged is this
German fireman seen above. He•
is demonstrating protective qual-
ities of a flexible, aluminum

held in Essen, Germany
season. That vas during Sten -
gel's d a r k, Brooklyn period,
something the winner, of four
straight American 'League pen-
nants does not talk about much
these day's.
•
Such success as the scholarly
Leonard has enjoyed with his
knuekleball is attributable to an-'
other American League manager.
Paul Richards did time with
Leonard at Atlanta soon after
Stengel let the pitcher go, and
it was under Richards' handling
that Dutch really got the hang
of throwing the kntickler. Rich-
ards caught the baffling pitch, or
rather he stoically stayed with it
where less courageous catchers
would have given it up as a bad
job.
;Ultimately both Richa,ds and
his knuckle -throwing buddy got
back up to the -big leagues where
Dutch promptly repaid his bene-
factor by closing him out of a
World Series. That came on the
final day of the 1944 season when
Leonard, then pitching for Wa-
shington, shut out Richards and
the Detroit Tigers to enable St.
Louis to squeak by into first
place, Richards had only a year
to wait, though, both he and the
Tigers being participants in the
winning 1945 series over the
Leonard -less Chicago Cubs.
Since going to the Cubs, Dutch
has won his way onto a seventh
All-Star roster. He set . a club
record last season by appearing
in 45 games and finishing 35 re-
lief jobs.
Because of the way he works
now it seems unlikely Dutch will
reach his goal of winning 200
games in the majors. As of June
30 he was 10 games away, but
being primarily a one, two or
three -inning relief man he usu-
ally • is not around long ,enough
to become involved in many de-
cislons, Last year, although he
worked 67 innings, Dutch had
only a 2-2 won -lost record.
Nevertheless he should be
around helping the Cubs f or
some years, When he warms up
the knftckler in the bull pen it
still takes two catchers to hold
him.

800 AT BIRD'S FUNERAL
When a parrot was burried at
Kanpur, in Central India, nearly
800 people were present.
Said the grief-stricken owner:
"My parrot was forty-four years
old and spoke fluent Hindustani,
Whenever friends came to see
me she greeted them in my ab-
sence."
Following formal funeral ser-
vices, the body of the bird was
ceremoniously cast into the Ri-
ver Ganges.

:Jam Andrews
A frozen -food locker is un-
doubtedly a wonderful thing —
one of the greatest additions to
the comfort of countless families
ever made.
But, like lots of other novel-
ties, these lockers can be abused,
ns well as used. Recent13 the
Editors of The Farm Journal
(Philadelphia) had a survey
rnade—a survey which produced
some' interesting results.
So. instead of recipes this
'week, here is some food for
thought for all present—or in-
tending — users of frozen -food
lockers.
Every once in a while we hear
u woman say: "I'll never waste
locker space on green beans
again." Or "That chicken we
froze has a peculiar taste." And
you wonder why — for frozen
foods usually are pretty wonder-
ful.
We asked a couple of locker
plant operators: "How come—
why do locker users get unsatis-
factory results in their frozen
foods?" Each man came up with
a list of reasons—four of then
exactly the same, although the
operators are 1,000 miles apart.
All told, there were seven "sins"
of locker users—things that may
help you get better frozen foods
from your locker or freezer.
Improper packaging heads the
trouble lists of Simon Olson, who
was 11 years in the locker busi-
.ness, and Bob Madeira. (Mr.
Madeira is executive secretary
of the National Frozen Food
Locker Institute.)
"Too many old, leaky cartons
are pressed into service long af-
ter the wax has worn off, Some
customers used wax paper, old
bread wrappers, cereal boxes,
paper bags—and yes, even news-
papers—to wrap foods. None of
these will keep the package air-
tight to protect the food from dry-
ing out during storage; so the re-
sult is off - flavor and poor
quailf.y."
s
Improper processing of foods
for freezing was next on both
lists. Olson says: "Vegetables
.must be blanched, or they'll
have poor color and a strawlike
taste, When people aren't happy
about frozen green beans, those
beans probably weren't blanched
and adequately chilled before
packaging. Or, maybe the beans
were over -blanched,"
a o
Madeira observes: "Too many
people have vegetables standing
around a day or two before they
process them. Then they're disap-
pointed that the beans, already
tougli by freezing time, don't
come out b e a t i f u 11 y tender.
Freezing doesn't improve food
duality."
Choosing wrong varieties of
fruits and vegetables for freez-
"Look, Nick, at the screen! Just
imagine she's In your arms!"
ing was the third sin listed, Some
freeze better than others, Locker
managers have lists of recom-
mended varieties, and are eager
to help customers select right,
seed.
Overloading the locker, which
keeps foods from freezing fast,
was sin number four. Mr. Olson
explains the importance of fast
freezing this way: "When ice
crystals form quickly, there's
less breaking up of the food tis-
sues, so less color, flavor, and
food value are drawn out of the
food and info the crystals. Fast
freezing gives better textured,
better flavored food."
And don't '0 v e r l o a d your
freezer when you freeze foods at
home to be transferred to the
locker. Put in only one-tenth of
the freezer's total capacity. For
instance, a freezer that holds 350
pounds will fast -freeze 35 pounds
of food in a 24-hour period.
• 1' $
Remember, too, that the ice -
cube section of a refrigerator is
not a fast -freeze section, It's de-
signed for storing foods. Only a
few of the new, two temperature
refrigerators maintain the zero
temperature necessary for freez-
ing.
Tossing packages helter skel-
ter into the locker is poor house-
keeping, says Madeira, Put the
unfrozen foods against sides of
the locker — the coldest spot.
Throwing them in among the al-
ready frozen foods warms up
these stored foods, keeps the new
packages from freezing quickly
—impairs quality.
Madeira continues: "We real-
ize that it's cold in locker rooms,
so people want to get out fast,
But they don't save any time by
throwing things in. When they,
want a certain food later, they
have to root through to find it."
Poor handling of meat by the
customer was on Mr. Olson's List.
When a locker user complains of
poor -quality meat, the reason is
likely to be unsanitary butcher-
ing, such as a punctured intestine
which taints the meat; or freez-
ing before the animal has been
chilled long enough, which leaves
an "animal" taste in the meat;
or wrapping chickens too soon
after killing, so that they sour.
Expecting too much from the
meat they ask the locker man to
cut up, is Madeira's patron -prob-
lem, "They don't understand that
50 pounds of beef won't give 50
pounds of edible meat. For in-
stance, one fourth of a hind -quar-
ter of beef is bone and fat." (The
old locker -plant joke about the
woman who asked to have a
quarter of beef cut into T-bone
steaks isn't funny to locker men!)
• o
It might pay you to check your
own freezing practices against
these 'seven sins": improper
packaging; improper process-
ing; choosing wrong var-
ieties for freezing; overloading
the locker; poor housekeeping in
the locker; poor handling of
meat; and failure to understand
meat shrinkage.
Everyone is very friendly in
the "no -bars" gaol at Fairmont,
West VIrginia, One prisoner
amused himself by applying for
everything in the magazines that
was advertised on "money back
if not satisfied" terms. But the
governor finally had to draw
the line, He sent up for ten day's
free" trial of a gun.
dazing With Paint -Blazing. trees with paint instead of an axe
is simplifying controlled tree cutting operations in Canadian for-
ests. The paint is a highly visible brilliant yellow developed
specifically for tree marking. It may be applied with an Ale -
mite gun or a packsack-type . pressure sprayer. Trees for felling
ore marked at about eye level and at the base of the trunk.

..Plain Horse sense..
by BOB ELLIS
At one time Winston Church-
ill was attacked in the House of
Commons as unreliable,. because
he had switched from one party
to another and back again. His
answer was: "To change is to
improve; to change often is to
become perfect,"
Hunan nature being what it
is none of us will over "be-
come perfect," but it is with ris-
ing hopes that we read the daily
morning revelations in our good
old friend, the Globe and Mail.
We remember that not so long
ago the tears were running down
its editorial page, because the
British did not have the dollars
to buy our farm products. At
that time„ of course we could
not dream of accepting payment
in any other form. We had to
have dollars to be able to buy in
the United States. At least, so
thought the Globe.
Change of Hearts or Spots?
Whenever Mr. Coldwell or
Percy Wright tried to draw the
attention of the House of the
dangers inherent in the light
hearted manner in which the
British markets for our farm
surpluses were being abandoned,
they were derided, ridiculed, and
the hue and cry was: Dollars,
Dollars, Dollars!
Lately the attitude of the
Globe seems to have changed
and there is talk of regaining the
British markets and even of ac-
cepting sterling payments Time
only will tell whether the leop-
ard is changing his heart or only
his spots.
• Probably Spots
Whatever the change, it does
not go so far as to accept the
idea of stabilizing farm prices
by • government measures. In a
recent editorial "The Way Back
is the Way 'Out" the Globe dis-
cusses the "farm price support
program" in the United States
and draws certain analogies for
Canada,
Speaking of "alleged surplus-
es" and "stable farm prices" the
editor comes • to -the conclusion
that "the only remedy is to
abandon the system that created
then, thereby letting legitimate
production find legitimate mar-
kets at economic prices.''
Double Nelson
Farmers who are in the Double
Nelson of high prices for what
they buy and low prices for what
they sell, realize by now that the
"depression" which the Globe
fears "with vicious consequences
to world trade in manufactured
goods," will be caused by their
reduced purchasing power, if it
' conies.
The reduced purchasing power
of the farmer in turn is a con-
sequence of the price and profit
policy of the manufacturers and
processors,
"The only remedy" is all-out
production, planned' distribution
in co-operation With all countries
willing to co-operate, based on
stabilized prices.
To achieve this stability it: will
be necessary to call a halt to

Once A `Ghost Town'
Now Waking Up •
For more than 100 years the
little north Cornish cove of Port
Quin, close by the fishing har-
bour of Port Isaac, has been de-
serted, Every man, woman and
child, it is said, disappeared
Within twenty-four hours, be-
cause:
Official reasons: A terrible
storm broke off the coast at a
moment when the entire male po-
pulation of the village were out
fishing, One after the other, eve-
ry ship of that small but proud
fleet was battered to pieces. Not
a mart was saved.
Upon hearing the news, the
story runs, the worsen folk be-
lieved there was a curse on the
place, and took to their heels.
True reason: In fact, there was
no story at all, But trouble was
brewing. Every man in that fleet
was a smuggler on a large scale,
All had gone well for a time,
with many kegs landed and
stored away in secret hide-outs.
Then one day news, was re-
ceived that the Preventive Men
were on their trail. Whereupon
the Port Quin folk decided to
leave without more. ado, scat-
tering in little family groups all
over Cornwall,
So Port Quin became a ghost,
With every house and cottage
empty, roofs fell in and walls col-
lapsed, and weeds grew through
the floors,
Now, 100 years later, the cot-
tages which were not beyond re-
pair have been restored. With
its homes freshly painted and
gardens created out of the wild-
erness of weeds, the "ghost" of
Port Quin is gradually corning
to life again,
The Man Who Guarded Churchill
"Constable, if I have clone
wrong, you have your remedy,
but you have obsolutely no right
to talk to me like that. Please
take his number, Thompson,"
''Those words were spoken by
Sir Winston Churchill in the
days when he was Chancellor of
the Exchequer.
He was driving his own cat
from London to his house in
Kent :in company with ex -De-
tective -Inspector W. H Thomp-
son, who was detailed to guard
Sir Winston from 1921 until 1929,
during his visit to the U.S.A. in
1931-32, and from August, 1939,
until the end of the war in
Europe.
Apparently a policeman on
duty that day, when Sir Winston
was driving his 'car, signalled
him to stop, but instead of pull-
ing up Sir Winston pulled over
to his near side and ,p a r t l y
mounted the kerb in order to
let a bus pass him.
But "he had reckoned without
the constable, who darted be-
hind the bus and stopped us; as
he was perfectly entitled to do."
And then the fireworks began.
The policeman gave Sir Winston
a piece of his mind. More than
that, according to Mr. Thompson,
for he tells us that "as' a police
officer myself I was more than
startled by the violence of the
expressions of this policeman, •
"He abuset1 Mr. Churchill
roundly and employed sone very
objectionable language."
But the Prime Minister listen-
ed until the policeman ran out of
breath, and then "he stuck- out
his jaw and replied savagely" —
I have quoted.
One can't help feeling sorry
for that arm of th claw. Of
course, he'd been rude, and had
probably lost his temper, but
when he realised who he'd been
"ticking off" he appeared hor-
ror-struck,
When they reached the out-
skirts of Westerham. Mr, Thomp-
son heard his distinguished
driver muttering to himself, "He
was right. Yes, he was right, I
should have been more careful."
And Sir Winston went on to
say: "I deserved all he said,
you know, although there was
no need for him to be so violent
about it."
And the policeman was not re-
ported for saying rude things to
Sir Winston Churchill,
Mr. Thompson tells us that
sometimes during a blitz on Lon-
don, Sir Winston would watch
the bombing and take reckless
chances. Once he remarked:
"When my time is due, it will
come." And he once refused to
get into an armoured car, "I must
take my chances with the rest,"
he remarked firmly,
•
•
On another occasion he was
standing with Sir John Ander-
son watching the searchlights
when his C.I,D. guard heard a
whistling noise and watt into
action. He must be the only man
alive who can say that he has
thrown his arms round a Prime
Minister and "flung hill; with
all my strength behind the door."
The PM was furious. "Don't
do that!" he roared, He probably
said more than that, but Mr.
Thompson is very discreet, and
we are left guessing!
,Once, at Palm Beach, Sir Win-
ston wanted to go bathing with-
out a costutne, thinking the beach
he was using was private. Thomp-
son suggested that he could be
seen through glasses,
"If they are so much interes-
ted, it is their own fault what
they see," growled the P.M,
And when he heard that sharks
had been seen within a few yards
of the shore, he wisecracked:
"My bulk must have frightened
them away!"
This book is a treasury house
of good stories about the P.M,
You should read it.—"Sixty Min-
utes With Winston Churchill,"

It you happen to be. troubled
with mites in the litter of your
poultry house, here's a tip. You
can kilt them right where they
are -without throwing nut the
litter.
4 .
One way is to sprinkle the lit-
ter with: a combination dust con-
taining 5% DDT or methoxy-
chlor, plus 20% sulfur, says Da-
vid Brannon of Washington State
College. Put on about 3 pounds of
dust to each 100 square feet of
litter, and :pix it in thoroughly.
If you don't own a mecha-
nical litter stirrer, and want to
try an easier method, you can
just spray the litter with insect-
icidies, and let it dry, for a day
or two. For this method, says
Brannon, mix up 4 pounds of
50% wettable DDT powder or
methoxychlor with 6 pounds of
wettable sulfur per 100 gallons
of water.
About 3 gallons of the mix-
ture .to each 100 square feet of
litter should do the trick.
$ , 4
How often should you treat
the litter? Since both DDT and
methoxychlor last well, once a
season should be enough.

Corn Chips Add Zest and. Novelty to Meals
BY DOROTHY MADDOX
IN warm weather when appetites may tie jaded, try serving
1lightly, novel dishes. Recently in Dallas, Tex., Nell Morris, one
of the sbuth's,outstandjng home economists, showed me how to use
'corn chips In baked dishes. Her recipes will certainly make your
summertime cooking a little more interesting,
CORN MPS ZIPPY CHEESE
(Serves 6 to 8)
One and one -halt cups milk, 2 eggs, slightly beaten; yi teaspoon
dry mustard, 114 teaspoons salt, 1/ teaspoon cayenne, 1 cup onions,
chopped; 2 cups grated American cheese, 1 cup crushed corn chips
(measure after crushing),
Add heated milk to slightly beaten eggs and seasonings, Mix
nnlons, cheese and corn chips together and place In a greased
baking dish, Pour milk and eggs over this and bake in moderate
oven (325 degrees F.) for 20 minutes.
For an economical and out -of -the -ordinary family dish, 11°0 this
recipe:
CORN CII1P-RONI CASSEROLE
(Serves 6 to 8)
Four ounces macaroni, 4 sli>;es bacon (fried crisp), 3 tablespoons
bacon drippings, 4 tablespoons chopped green pepper, Set cup
chopped onions, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon monosodium
glutamate, ;!4 teaspoon white pepper, V4 teaspoon salt, 1 can con-
densed tomato soup, 2 cups lightly crushed corn chips (measured
after crashing), 1 cup grated American cheese.
Boil macaroni in salted water until, tender, Saute onion, green
pepper and garlic in bacon fat, then add seasonings, tomato soup,
minced bacon and cooked macaroni. Place half of corn chips in
a casserole. Add the macaroni mixture, Top with remaining,corn
chips and grated cheese, Hake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.)

CORN CHIPS BAKED NOODLE
(Serves 8)
One package (5 ounces) noodles, 3 eggs, 2
spoon salt, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce,
night? "We used to do this," said
Lafitte, "but when the power
would go off, the birds sometimes
got excited and 'piled up. But by
letting them get used to the
darkness for a few hours each
night, we never have trouble."
4, 4
(Some growers who use lights
have stand-by battery-operated
sets.)
"Another advantage," Lafitte
reasons, "is that it gives the birds
a chance to rest awhile. When
natural darkness cones on, the
birds stuff their crops -enough
to last the two or three hours be-
fore the lights come on."
FAIL FItOI 1 HOME COOKING ,
There is a well-known Ameri-
can general, at present in ICorea,
who is noted for his keen in-
terest in all that goes into the
Army's stomach.
Approaching- the n e r v o u s
young cook of an advance field
kitchen, the big man boomed:
".Here, let me taste that." The
cook opened his mouth to pro-
test, but the general snapped
(`Don't ,give me any buts -give
me a spoon!"
The general dipped his spoon
into the huge soup cauldron,
and tasted the liquid.
"You don't call that stuff soup:,
do you?" he roared.
"No, sir!" stammered the sol-
dier, "That's what I was trying
to tell you -it's dish -water, sir!"

Bitten By Snakes
Over 400 Times
George Cann, reptile -keeper at
Sydney's Taronga Zoo Park, has
caught 17,000 wild live snakes
(he claims this is an Australian
record) and has been bitten
over 420 times. George has been
in the game since boyhood.
For thirty-four years tie gave
snake show all over Australia.
With him in the pit he wou1•;
have 200 venomous snakes, cop-
perheads, rattlesnakes
He thinks he's fairly venom -
proof, but thirty-one years ago
a tiger snake near Nowa (N.S.
W.) nearly finished him. Fie was
out in the bush catching snakes.
He collapsed in his shack sev-
eral hours later and was uncon-
scious for four days.
Fortunately, a friend chanced
along an the fourth day, found
him lying on the floor, and re-
vived him after half an hour's
vigorous shaking, Cann could
move neither arms nor hags for
a fortnight.
' A month later another tiger
snake bit him at Maitland
(N.S.W.) when he was putting
on his act. Cann was blind for
three days.
.George's two soils; twenty-
four and 'fourteen, share his en-
thusiasm for snakes. During the
war the elder boy, a soldier in
New Guinea, caught two tree
boas and shipped them to his
father for the zoo.
Cann tells a good story about
the younger lad. When he was
five, his mother found him in
a tin pits with . twenty blue -
tongued lizards, One protesting'
lizard was clamped between his
teeth. Said 'Cann Junior, "Mum-
my, this nasty lizard bit me, so
I'm biting him bark."

World -Famous Diamond Hidden In
Potato Field
What has happened to the Koh -
i -Nur, the famous and fascinat-
ing diamond that has glittered
for so long as one of the shining
highlights of the British Crown
Jewels? The startling answer is
that nobody knows.
1t played no part in the Coro-
nation ceremonies. It had not
been built, as so many people'
expected, into the Queen's newly
reconstructed Imperial Crown of
State. Apart from the Queen her-
self, and three close confidential
advisers, no one knows the iden-
tity of the stone's present owner.
Was •it mentioned in Queen
Mary's will? The great diamond
- was set into Queen Mary's per-
sonal crown over forty years ago
and was long regarded, like the
crown, as her -late Majesty's per-
sonal property. The contents of
royal wills, however, are never
disclosed, and the value of the
gene is not considered 'to have
been Included in Queen Mary's
•reputed £3,000,000 fortune.
Legal Puzzler
With watchful regard for the
legend of .a curse that ordains it
unlucky to men, Queen Victoria
is known to have willed the Koh -
1 -Nur to Queen Alexandra, From
her it passed to Queen Mary,
who merely loaned it for the
queen consort's crown at George
VI's coronation in 1937.
,But Queen Victoria also made
a provision that the diamond
should always be worn by the
queen consorts of England and'
never by the kings. To -day, of
course, there is no queen consort.
Our young queen is sovereign in
her own right; the Queen Mother
is, in reality, a dowager queen;
the Duke of Edinburgh, although
n consort, is not in line as a man,
and thus an interesting legal si-
tuation has arisen.
• Yet this is by no means the
only strange twist in the Koh-i-
Nur's recent story. During the
war it was kept in an old hat -box
in the vaults of Windsor Castle.
At one time, when German in-
vasion seemed imminent, it was
placed in an air -tight preserving
jar and buried in a potato field,
And to .heighten the controver-
sy, it is being urged that the Koh -
i -Nur belongs to the government
of Indio and should be returned.
Some of It Yours
But perhaps you, yourself, have
a fragment of the Koh -i -Nur and -
are giving it house room unaware
of the curse? After the East India
Company presented it to Queen
Victoria, the 186 -carat stone was
cut down to 106 carats. The
smaller part was again split and
many of the smaller chippings
found 'their way into private
jewellery.
In size, the Koh-i-Nur-IVioun-
tain of Light -cannot compare
with the'modern 5,025 -carat Cul -
linen in the State Crown or the
770 -carat stone found in a Sierra
Leone river -bed seven years ago,
which has now passed to a pri-
vate buyer. Yet it is one of the
world's oldest known diamonds.
Legend traces it back 2,000 yetu's
-when it was allegedly found
in the Golconda :miles 'in India
-and it has a documented his-
tory from the year 1304.
It formed part of the loot of
MalWa, seized from the old Pa-
than empire, It passed into the
fabulous treasury of Delhi and
was . found there when great
Tamerlane's grandson conquered
Hindustan and founded the famed
Mogul empire,
Wars have been fought around
the Koh -i -Nur. In trying to find
it, men have fallen down stair-
ways and broken their necks. A
harem slave once hid it away
and appeased her conquerors by
revealing it hidden in 'the em-
peror's turban. .
Emperor's Plight
13ut how to get it? .The con-
queror suggested exchanging
turbans as a gesture of friend-
ship and the unfortunate emper-
or, Mohammed Shah, had no
choice but to comply,
Half a century later, another
emperor in the same plight tried
to deceive a conqueror by foist-
ing him off with a perfect repli-
ca. In return, his capital was
ransacked and his palace razed
to the ground until the diamond
was at last found in a heap of
ashes.
Following the overthrow of
the Sikh empire, it was handed
over to John Lawrence, the
British Resident. Absent-minded-
ly he put it into a cotton coat
pocket, forgot about it, and then
]earned the coat had gone to the
cleaners.
Panic-stricken, he turned the
laundry upside down. "If you are
looking for that piece of glass,"
said a servant, "I have pttt it in
a drawer."
Brilliance Fades ,
And when Queen Victoria was
at last presented with the Koh -i -
Nur, it must be recorded that
she did not think much of it.
The gem did not seem to shine
with sufficient brightness, hence
the old queen ordered it to be
recut. But the harsh truth is
that diamonds as old as the
Koh -i -Nur gradually lose their
power and brilliance.
This "gem of germs" is no ex-
ception, Some years ago it was
valued at £ 140,000, but it was
priced at £2,000,000 when shown
at the Great Exhibition in 1851!
So who now owns the Koh -i -
Nur? It is nearly two years sinde
it was last seen twinkling 'in
Queen Mary's crown at the
Tower of London. Since then the
crown itself has been dismantled,
and the Queen was seen to be
wearing gems from it when she
last rode to the State Opening
of Parliament. If the Koh -i -Nur
has to await the next queen con-
sort, its icy fires may lie in cold
storage for iixty years or more.
On The Naming
Of Cats
It occurs to 111e a1 I Write thin
that the naming of cats is an al-
most infallible guide to the du.
gree of affection bestowed on is
cat. Perhaps not affection so
much as true appreciation of
feline character. You may be
reasonably sure when you meet
a cat called Ginger or merely
Puss that his or her owner has
insufficient respect for his cat.
Such plebeian and unimagina-
tive names are not given to cats
by true cat -lovers. There is a
world of difference between the
commonplace "Tabby" and the
dignified and sonorous "Tabitha
Longclaws Tiddleywinks" which
the poet Hood christened his cat.
And her three kittens called Pep•-
perpot, Scratchaway and Sooti••
kips reveal an affectionate inter-
est which is never displayed by
such ordinary names as Sandy
or Mickey.
We cannot all rise, 01 course,
to Southey's heights. He, you
may remember, called his cat
"the most noble the Archduke
Rumpelstilzchen, Marcus Mac -
hum, Earl Tomlefnagne, Baron
Raticide, W a o w h 1 e r and
Scratch," .. .
Not that grandiloquent or fan-
cy titles are necessary to a true
appreciation of cats. What could
be more dignified or appropriate
than the name of Doctor John-
son's cat Hodge? And the hand-
some Bedfordshire cat who is
mentioned later in this story is
admirably' suited by his name
of Albert.
Without doubt the names given
to individual cats shed interest-
ing light on their human owners.
No one but a true cat -lover could
call his cat Gilderoy, Absalom,
Potifar, Wotan, Feathers or Shah
de Perse.---From "Charles, The
Story of a Friendship," by Mich-
ael Joseph. Copyright, 1952, by
