Got Fortune In Gems
Instead Of Pills
The general public is inclined
to get a wrong idea about crime
detection, They pay far too much
attention to things like finger-
prints, forgetting that finger-
prints are mehningless until the
criminal is under lock and key.
The police can run through pic-
tures of prints and often pin -point
the man who did the job. But
they have still got to track him
down,
More important than crime de-
tection is its prevention. Remem-
ber, jewel thieves will follow their
victim—and stick to him until
they've got him. And remember,
too, the important part that ser-
vants play in jewel robberies,
even the most honest of them.
Thieves are clever at wheed-
ling vital information out of
them. When do their employers
have their evening meal? Do
they listen in or look in to TV—
and so forth.
An example of how tenaciously
thieves will hound a victim was
provided on March 14, 1905, when
a young French diamond mer-
chant from Paris went into a
chemist's shop in Colmore Row,
Birmingham, England, with an
interpreter, to have a prescription
made up. On a chair he placed a
leather handbag containing dia
monds worth $50,000.
As the Frenchman and the in-
terpreter waited, two men enter-
ed the shop; one asked for some
liquorice powder; the other ask-
ed for a box of patent pills. They
appeared to be in a hurry and
left together. Presently one man
came back with a leather hand-
bagwhich he placed on the chair
where the Frenchman's handbag
was. The man asked for more
liquorice. Then he walked to the
chair and picked up a bag .. .
but it was not his own.
The Loss was discovered with-
in two minutes. Evidence was
found that two men had been •
seen shadowing the Frenchman
ever since he had arrived in Bir-
mingham. No doubt he had been
followed from Paris. His empty
bag was found in an arcade a few
yards from the chemist's shop.
But the diamonds were never
traced, nor the thieves tracked
down.
Four years later, in the sum-
mer of 1909, another Parisian
diamond merchant walked into
the grill -room of the Cafe Monico,
near Piccadilly Circus, to dine
one evening; He hung up his hat
and light summer overcoat and
went to the washroom, where he
hung up his jacket, In the breast
pocket was his wallet, which
contained $200,000 worth of dia-
monds!
He rolled up his shirt sleeves
and plunged his arms into warm
water. He glanced up at himself
in the mirror facing him and saw
a man lifting his wallet out of his
jacket pocket. Frantic, the
Frenchman shouted and ran
aft:r the disappearing thief. But
another man beside him stuck
out his leg and tripped him up.
In the hullabaloo that followed,
the tripper -up also vanished.
Neither crook had gone through
the restaurant. They left' by an-
other door.
Despite an intensive search,
they were never traced. Nor were
the diamonds ever found, It was
a clever coup. And no doubt the
diamond merchant had been ruth-
lessly shadowed every moment
since leaving Paris.
Back again to 1905—a truly
bumper year for jewel robberies
—when, on May nth, the Duchess
of Westminster, returning from
the theatre, discovered that jewel-
lery valued at $40,000 had van-
ished from her dressing table.
Little less than a month later
Inspector Drew arrested a man
formerly employed at Grosvenor
House as a night watchman, The
man, Albert Chapman, was for-
mally charged with theft, He
gave the police certain informa-
tion which was acted upon, The
police went to Cambridge, where
they arrested a second man, As a
result, officers were sent to a field
about two miles from Cambridge
and there found buried in a hole
all the missing jewels.
In the sane year the New York
Smart Set were holiday -making
as usual at Newport, Rhode Is-
land, when they were startled by
a series of mysteries in connec-
tion with the fabulous jewels of
the equally fabulous Mrs. William
Astor. She complained that her
jewels worth millions of dollars
had been stolen. Then she ap-
peared at a dinner party wear-
ing some of them!
Herexplanation was that the
Stolen jewels had been mysteri-
ously returned, Then she said
they had not been stolen at all,
but she had mislaid them. Pri-
vate detectives were called in and
in a statement to the press they
reported that the jewels had nev-
er been stolen or mislaid. But
the gossip writers of the day got
busy, and they declared that there
had indeed been a robbery, but
on account of the identity of the
thief it was desired to have the
affair hushed up.
Over in Europe there was an-
other jewel sensation, Lady Bow-
ers, en route from London to the
French Riviera, took her scat in
the 9.15 p.m. train from the Gare
de Lyon, Paris, and left some
light luggage and a reel morocco
leather jewel -box in the charge
of her maid, while she went to
the buffet.
A few minutes before she was
finished, her pale -faced and
trembling maid rushed into the
buffet to say that, a minute or
two after her ladyship had left
the compartment, a well-dressed
gentleman' sat down in the cor-
ner opposite the jewel case. He
had some newspapers, and he
threw them in the corner over
the cases. The maid thought he
was a fellow traveller, She went
into the corridor for a few mom-
ents, When she returned to the
compartment the "gentleman"
had gone; so had the jewels worth
$20,000. Neither thief nor jewels
were ever seen again.
Again in 1905, on Christmas
Day, a man named Bird, repre-
senting a London firm of diamond
merchants, checked in at a Liv-
erpool hotel with $100,000 worth
of diamonds which he left in his
room and went to supper. He re-
turned between 9 and 10 and
found two men rifling his lug-
gage. He rushed to the attack,
shouting for assistance, and a ter-
rible fight ensued. Bird managed
to knock down one man and
hold him; the other escaped, but
was caught at the foot of the
stairs, .
Both men were wearing rubber
gloves. They were notorious jew-
el thieves. There, then, you have
another "combination": no brains,
sheer brutality. Robbery with
violence, although undoubtedly
the thieves had relentlessly fol-
lowed their man from London,
thus exploiting what little intel-
ligence they had.
"Won't you give me your tele-
phone number?" he mumured.
"It's in the hook," she said.
"Splendid," he sighed. "And
what's your name?"
"That's in the book, too," she
snapped.

LUCKY KBD!
I wonder how many school-
boys strike as lucky as did Nel-
son Doubleday, head of the pub-
lishing house of Doubleday,
Doran of New York.
When he was six years old
he read some animal stories
by Kipling, so sat down and ad-
dressed a letter, "Dear Uncle
Rud," which he sent to England.
He said he would like. to know
how the elephant got its -trunk,
the leopard its spots and the
rhino its skin. He ended by add-
ing, 'if the stories are good
enough, my father will snake a
book of them."
So Kipling wrote "Just So
Stories," which sold more than
a million copies in tine United
States alone.
And when young Doubleday
went to his father and said "I
gave you a good idea; 1 ought
to have a rayalty," his father
agreed, So on every copy Nel-
son Doubleday got -- and still
gets — one cent.
Merrie Men Unmasked
There is sorrow and sighing

all been exposed — as Marxists
in Lincoln green,
A member of Indiana's text-
book commission has charged
Robin Hood and his merrirr men
with following the Communist
line in robbing the rich to give
to the poor. The gay legend that
has been the delight of children
and their elders through long
non-Communist centuries is de-
scribed as "just a smearing of
law and order," and thus as
subversive fare for young Ame-
ricans,
• The charge has caused explo-
sions of laughter in Merrie Eng-
land, and has evoked from the
High Sheriff of Nottingham
(whose medieval ancestor chased
Robin through the greenwood)
the jovial response that while
Hundreds of Americans visit the
outlaw's haunts every year, "we
don't get any Russians."
We might ask: If Robin Hood
was a Red because of his some-
what unorthodox resistance to
the social depredations of the
tyrannous King John, were not
the barons who wrung Magna
Carta from that reluctant mon-
arch at least fellow travelers?
Or is Magna Carta itself, along
' with the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, suspect today as a
"revolutionary" document?
Seriously, we don't believe
American security demands that
the United States make itself
ridiculous before the world.
Laughter and legend have not
yet been outlawed by the cold
war. We would be loth to see
an arrow from Indiana kill Cock

world as Little Red Robin

All the World Sends
Him Postcards
When a teacher at a school in
the province of Volterra, Italy,
discovered her class had no maps
or atlases, she asked the head-
master to buy some. But funds
were low; he had to refuse. So
the teacher asked each pupil to
bring to school any picture post-
cards they possessed of towns and
districts in any part of the world
so that these could be used dur-
ing lessons.
Only one boy, ten -year-old
Fabio SignorInio, came empty-
handed. He cane from a poor
home where there were no cards
and no money to buy any. The
teacher decided to give the child
a surprise. She put an advertise-
ment in several national news-
papers, in Fabio's name, asking
for picture postcards.
Since then cards have rained
on the boy's village home, They
have come from all parts of the
world. Fabio has now at least
80,000 cards and every post brings
more. The village post office has
had to engage a man to cope with
the extra mail. All of it used to
be carred in the postman's one
bag; now he has to use a horse
and cart!
The whole schoolroom is dec-
orated with the cards and the
children say they love learning
geography that wayl As for little
Fabio, he says that when he
grows up he will try to thank
personally all the people who•
sent the cauls!

A great many women of my

Third Try Lucky
For Waltz King
Just over a century ago, hand-
some young Johann Strauss
picked up his baton at Don-
mayer's Casino and led his fif-
teen piece orchestra in the
world's first public performance
of "The Blue Danube." How
bright eyes must have sparkled,
hearts beating faster, when Vi-
enna first heard that immortal
refrain!
•Among several hundred
waltzes, The Blue Danube has
retrained the Koh -i -Nur in Jo-
hann Strauss's rnusical crown.
The Waltz Emperor, they called
him—and yet the "Danube" com-
memorates the strange fact that
the gay and charming composer
was nearly forty before he found
an empress to share his throne.
All Vienna worshipped him.
Whenever he played a new waltz
of his own composition—and this
was often — bouquets of roses
were flung at his feet. Absorbed
in his music, Johann scarcely
noticed his admirers ... until the
day when he found himself gaz-
ing into the eyes of elfin Henri-
etta TrefTz,
"Etty," the actress, and Jo-
hann, •with his flowing hair and
swaggering romantic c r a v a t,
were introduced in n cafe garden.
When could they meet again?
The following week? At the
Grinzing ball? It was swiftly
arranged, '
Lovers still Laugh and waltz,
even to -day, in the Grinzing ball-
room ... and walk hand-in-hand
in the garden where Strauss and
his Etty exchanged their vows.
They were married romantically
in St, Stephen's cathedral, and
hundreds of people turned out
into the cobbled streets to hum
a bridal march.
Despite his bohemian tastes,
Strauss cushioned himself in do-
mesticity as if it were a bower
of roses • . , but these roses had
thorns. Across Henrietta's past
lay a shadow, a man who had
abandoned her, an illegitimate
child cared for by the father's
relatives. Strauss forgave, and
forgot, .
"I feel myself to be thoroughly
fortunate and happy to belong to
Etty, whom I love with all my
heart," he wrote. "I have suc-
ceeded in overcoming many
. pains that would otherwise have
overwhelmed me. For with Etty
at my side, how -can I possibly be
in pain?" And Etty for her part
confided to pen -and -ink: "Ilow 1
begin to realize what it means to
be completely happy... ."
With such happiness, Strauss
poured out his waltzes, "Morn-
ing Papers," "Voices of Spring,"
"Tales from the Vienna Woods"
-- alt belong to this blissful
period. He wrote an opera, con-
sidered it useless and put it
away in a drawer. Henrietta
rooted it out, secretly found a
producer and delighted Strauss
by taking him as a surprise to
the first performance. So "Die
Fledermaus" made its bow.
Unhappily, t i m e sometimes
brings changes and takes forth-
right revenge. For sixteen years
Johann and Etty forgot the past,
and its malice, No word carne,
though somewhere her son was
growing to a man. Etty fancied
that her world was substantial
and secure. Johann Strauss had
been appointed director of the
Court Balls: never before had
husband and wife enjoyed such
wealth and fame.
Then, late one night, Strauss
returned home to a house of
silence, And he recoiled with
horror at the sight that confront-
ed him.
On the floor Etty lay dead —
and about her fluttered the coni
fetti-like remains of a letter, torn .
into a thousand shreds, The
shock of receiving it, the physi-
cians asserted, had caused a
seizure. Strauss trled in vain to
piece the writing together. A
weapon from the past, the letter
had come from Etty's son, .but
its contents were never known.
With heavy heart Strauss once
'Do -It -Yourself Boom Hits Toys, Too
Little Gids Can Bake a Toy Cake, Boys Can Paint a Town Red
By JAMES FLOWE1RS
NEA Staff Correspondent
A large chunk of the toy in-
dustry's record $450,000,000 out-
put this year, which is about 10
per cent better than 1952, em-
phasizes the "clo - it • yourself"
idea,
Besides looking like the real
thing, these "toys with a pur-
pose" enable kids to actually use
wrenches, wield paint brushes,
bake cakes and sew just like
mom and pop. They are design-
ed for children of all ages and
interests,
"The trend toward this type of
toy can probably be explained by
the influence television, movies
and conic books have on young-
sters who in turn influence the
toymakers,"• says Robert B. M.
Barton, president of the Toy
Manufacturers. "Kids are na-
turally great imitators anyway."
,Louis Marx, founder and presi-
dent of Louis Marx & Co,, largest
toy manufacturers in the world,
says the "do-it-yourself" theme
really caught on a couple of
years ago, Success in this field
was due, he says, to the new high
impact plastic, which makes in-
tricate detail and authenticity
possible.
For the mechanically -minded
boys the toy -producers are pro-
ducing scale model farm trac-
tors, automobiles and wreckers
that strip down completely and
show exact engine detail, Each
toy carries a complete assort-
ment of tools to do the job.
Another industry king -pin, B.
F. Michtom, head of the fast-
growing Ideal Toy Corp., says his
"fix -it" line has played a large
part in the company's increased
sales in recent years: "Our vol-
ume jumped from $10,000,000 in
1050 to $20,000,000 this year. It
has quadrupled since 1947."
Toymaker Michtom and his
workers are turning out such
plastic marvels as a sports con-
vertible equipped with electric
lights, horn, battery, oil level
gauge and a set of tool for as-
semgling and making repairs; an
18th Century stage coach that
can be put together and taken
apart and driven by a life -like
figure holding reins attached to
real harnesses;. and a jiffy car
wash station with a water at-
tachment and a lever to tow the
cars along the ramp.
For little girls Ideal has cre-
ated a crop of dolls with minia-
ture kits for hair and costnetic
care and a sewing outfit to keep
them up-to-date on clothes fash-
ions. To delight the kitchen
dabblers there's a new cake -

Nobody was surprised that an

withdraw from the musical
world altogether, In that som-
bre hour he turned to the sym-
pathy of the third star in his life,
the plumb and motherly Adele
Deutsch An' old friend of the
family, she had been to school
with Etty. For the first time
Johann and Adele saw one an-
other in a new light.
Both had become lonely old
folk. Why should they not settle

was ever more placid nor mar-
riage more tranquil,
With Adele as his companion
Strauss regained all his old
wealth of melody in three-four
time. When he produced a .new
operetta, the stage was still lit-
tered with bouquets — and lie
brought home as many as lie
could carry and flung then into
Adele's lap.
Adele gave him his last mo-
rdents of happiness. In 1899,
when Strauss lay dying, she sat,
at his side. The Viennese news-
papers printed extra editions for
the doctors' bulletins,
In those last unutterable sad
minutes, Strauss stretched out n
hand to Adele. "You have made
me very happy, Lily," he mur
mitred. "I knew you would love'
me at last."
Adele trembled at the other
w'nnan's name. "I have always
loved you, Johann," she whis-
pered.
Out in the street, suddenly,
unbelievably, an organ-drinder
began to play, It was to the
strains of his immortal "Blue
Danube," that Strauss died, and to
those strains all Vienna present- -
ly lined the streets of the city
to watch him pass.

cakes are baked with radiant
heat and can be eaten by the
kids, or parents—if the cooks
are any good.
Retailers are braced for the
Christmas rush. They've laid in
heavy supplies of "do-it-yourself"
items. Although a whopping
business is forecast, most toy
merchonts 'say they will settle
for a five cent increase in sales.
At Macy's "Toy City" there's
already a beehive of activity
with about 25 per cent of the toy
stock carrying out the "do-it-
yourself" idea. Buyer -manager
John H. Griffin predicts his sales
will beat last year's volume
easily.
"The cosmetic dolls and the
strip -clown cars will probably set
the selling pace here," he says.
"An interesting section of the
'City' is the self-service depart-
ment—just like a super -market,"
"Right now we got a campaign
going to make the little girls
'girlier' by plugging such things
as baking and ironing sets, stoves
and refrigerators, and tall kinds
of realistic household appliances."
John Wan amakers' buyer -
manager Vincent Maggiore said,
"Jewelry making kits and the
fix -it cars have been very popu-
lar items here."
Other new toys with the career
angle are a miniature night loca-
tion TV truck with revolving
spotlight, a plumber's set with
35 tools and a selection of pipe
lengths and connections, a high-
way shovel crain that operates
just like a real one, and a com-
plete community of wooden
buildings ready for any color of
paint to be applied,
A recent boost to the "do-it-
yourself" toy movement was the
debut of a new magazine called
"Children's Playcraft." It's a bi-
monthly publication and will
feature things to make With easy -
to -get materials, team projects
with parents and a complete fea-
ture on some hobby,
Mark Michtorn, sales and pro-
motion man for Ideal, explains
the growing trend toward realis-
tic or "do-it-yourself" toys this
way: "Two or three years ago we
came out with some science -
fiction and space toys. The ven-
ture was a complete flop, Kids
simply wouldn't buy the idea.
They're fanatics on authenticity
and detail."
A minor revolution in piping
has hit the Canadian farm world.
The Advent of a new flexible,
chemical rust proof pipe made
.frons the versatile plastic, poly•
thene, may well prove to be the
most important step in piping
since Cornelius Whitehouse in-
vented the basic method of pro-
ducing modern steel piping in
1825,
• This unusual piping, which Is
being made by a number of
manufacturers in Canada, has
solved some of the farmers' most
serious piping problems. 0 n
many farms piping must be laid
over long distances to service
stock feeding and building out-
lets. Conventional piping is dif-
ficult and expensive to install and
corrodes quickly in certain types
of soil, Water freezing and split-
ting pipes is also a hazard,
* • *
Tough and flexible, polythene
can be laid for _ suntner use
simply by plowing a furrow'ac-
cross fields and laying the piping
in the trench. A 400 -foot coil of
pipe is light enough to be car-
ried on a man's shoulder or lift-
ed by a boy. Water under nor-
mal pressure does not split the
pipe if frozen since its resilient
walls can expand, Pipe lengths
are joined by a sleeve which is
secured with ordinary h 0 s e
clamps screwed tight,
* * •
Where the pipe is planned for
year-round use a deeper trench
is needed. In a recent pipe -laying
operation on the farm of Harold
Kendal at Starbuck, Man., 25
miles southwest of Winnipeg, it
was necessary to dig a seven
foot trench' to lay several hun-
dred feet of 11/4 inch polythene
pipe for a sewage line. But the
ground had a tendency to cave
in immediately behind the power
digger and, only a flexible pipe
which could, be laid into the
trench at the moment of digging
would eliminate the need for ex-
pensive shoring up. Using poly-
thene piping 400 feet was laid
at a total cost of $1 per linear
foot including the cost of the
seven foot trenching.
* * *
Polythene is the lightest com-
mercially -used plastic. Two hun-
dred and fifty feet of 11/2 inch
polythene pipe weigh 80 pounds,
as compared to 640 pounds for
galvanized steel pipe of the same
dimentions, A truck would be
needed to lift the latter while
one man can handle the plastic
piping.
* * •
Polythene piping has also been
tried successfully for municipal
water systems. At Dunnville,
Ont., 1,600 feet of pipe was laid
six inches underground and al-
lowed to freeze and thaw

In his autobiography, Benjamin
Franklin tells of a clergyman who
was ordered to read the proclam-
ation issued by Charles 1, com-
manding the people to return to
Sunday sports. The congregation
was amazed and horrified when
their pastor arose and read the
royal edict, for most clergymen
had refused to read it. What did
such an act mean? When he had
finished reading it, however, he
thundered, "Remember the Sab-
bath Day to keep it holy," adding,
"Brethren, 1 have laid before you
the commandment of your king
and the commandment of your
God. I leave it to you which of
the two ought rather to be ob-
served."
In our day no such proclam-
ation is likely to be issued. Some
municipalities are amending
their laws to allow Sunday sports.
But no one is compelled to in-
dulge, in them. Our governments
permit gambling in some forms
and are being urged to legalize
lotteries for charitable purposes,
But we are free at this point, that
we do not have to engage in any

position to legalized lotteries "be•
cause it has been proven that they
are an uncertain and inadequate
source of revenue for hospitals."
It was also pointed out that such
lotteries give public approval to
a type of amusement "inimical
to moral standards and social wel-
fare."
A good citizen is one who does
right always, law or no law.
That Is the best way to deal with
undesirable government and in
just that way the Christians
shook the foundations of the Ro-
man Empire and caused it to ac-
cept Christianity. We should
strive to make every part of our
government righteous and effi-
cient.

This piping is also provini

where lightness, ease of instal-
lation and flexibility are impor-
tant.

Polythene piping is being
manufactured in Canada by a
number of firms. Last year some
1,000,000 feet was extruded for
use throughout the country, and
the volume next year is expected
to be treble that amount. The
first production of Canadian -
made polythene resin,' the raw
material from which the piping
is made, is expected from a
new Edmonton plant late
this year. It is manufactured
from ethylene gas derived from
natural gas piped out of the
Woodbend-Ledue field,
So light that a small boy could easily carry several hundred feet,
rust proof polythene plastic piping is science's latest contribution
to rural water systems, Both flexible and, resilient, the piping
is resistant to corrosive soil chemicals and can be installed
economically. Here we see a farm youngster laying the piping
while his father plows a furrow. A truck would be required to
convey the sane length of metal pipe,

"Dear Anne Hirst: I just don't
know what to do, I have been
married 19 years and have two
children. My husband plays poker,
and sometimes hasn't a penny left
to bring home. We have so many
bills to pay but he doesn't seem
to care.
"I would like to go ot,t to work,
but he is so jealous it would only
make more trouble; he says I'm
too friendly with people now.
Anne Hirst, I almost never leave
the house. I do washing and iron-
ing for other people to make a
few dollars. I always have his
meals ready when he does come
home, and his clothes -laid out,
and I do anything he asks me. But
he treats me terribly, and I am
turning against him, Even our
little girl is afraid of him when he
comes in! Her teacher says she
is a very nervous . scholar and
that is the reason.
"The people he -knows are
nothing but 'trash,' and hang onto
him for the money he spends and
his car. He will do anything for
anyone who drinks , . . Can you
possibly tell are what to do?

TOO EAGER
"Dear Anne Hirst: Six years
ago my mother took a teacher to
board, I didn't like him, but as
the years passed he caused me to
love him. Sometimes he took me
to ball games and on picnics, but
he never told hie he cared for
me.
"When he came home from
school I always fixed hint some-
thing to eat and saw that his
room was comfortable. At Christ-
mas I gave him nice gifts, and
he said I had gone too far.
"Now he has gone to another
school, and moved from our
home; he never calls except on
invitation! Cat, you tell me what
to do now?
Kate Rebecca"
I nope you will do nothing—
except to try to remove this
young man from your thoughts
and •ropes, a., he has removed
himself from your house,
It is easy for a young girl to
lose her heart to an older man.
This one you respected for his
learning; he was more sophis-
ticated, too, than the boys you
knew, which set him apart. Yon
went all out, serving • him at
home, even giving him presents
which must have embarrassed
him; he tried to warn you, but
you would not see he was just
being kind, I am afraid you
will have to realize he is in-
terested in more mature women
and thinks of you as just a
nice little girl he used to know.
See the truth as it is, and a
year from now you will smile
at the longings that bother you
today. * * *
It is sad indeed when a mother
must protect her children from
their father's neglect and anger.
Yet her first duty is to their wel-
fare. Tell your troubles to Anne
Hirst, and know you can depend
upon her sympathy and her
judgment. Write her at Box 1,

There are many reasons why
people turn to the soil. They may
do so because of their ancestry,
for most people have forebears
who were farmers. Sometimes
a youthful experience directs a
person along the path he is to
follow later in life. When we
were children my parents took
us to visit my maternal great-
grandmother, who lived with her
daughter and son-in-law on a
farm in Bavaria. There the prin-
cipal objective was to condition
cattle for the market. . , . My
great - grandmother, who w a s
eighty, seldom went outdoors
and did not care for flowers.
Few country people did in those
days. When my sister and 1 each
brought her a bouquet of corn-
flowers and poppies that we had
gathered in the wheat fields, they
did not appeal to her. Now 1
know she considered them to be
weeds. But her daughter, my
grandmother, had a garden plant-
ed with iris and lilac bushes in
her hack yard on West Fifty-
second Street, in New York City,
just north of where Rockefeller
Center stands today... .
Herb gardening has been conn
pared to chamber music. Both
are best appreciated in small
places; for they have an intimate
quality lost in a Targe hall or in
a big garden. Gardening with
herbs, which is becoming increas•
ingly popular, is indulged in by;
those who like subtlety in their
plants in preference to brilliance.
To me there is much that is en-
dearing about herbs. They are
individual; each plant differs
from the next in the way it holds
its leaves, in its shape, and par•
ticularly in the fragrance it sends
forth. I .love to work among
thein and to smell their scent on
my hands, As I weed oi' prune
them or gather them to infuse
in soups or salads, or to perk up

cleanser that

BY EDNA MILES
GrETTING the house clean
faster each morning is the
aim of every housewife, Usu-
ally, the starting point for the
morning cleanup is the bath-
room, Wet towels, scattered
powder and spattered tile make
for complete disorder.
One of the newest aids in get-
ting the bathroom slick and shiny
in no time is a stnooth, white
cleanser that turns golden when
it's wet. With this sudsing
cleanser, the housewife can ban-
ish bathtub rings and bacteria
quickly and effectively.
When she proceeds to the
kitchen, she'll find this cleanser
removes grease faster, dispels
food odors that cling to the
hands, skillets, sink and food
preparation surfaces.
She can, in fact, test it. by
rubbing her hands with the cut
surface of an onion, shaking
cleanser over hands, rinsing and
sniffing at hands. She'll find
the odor gone.
The housewife in a hurry will
find that this cleanser works
equally well In hot or cold wa-
ter, in hard or soft water. It's
easy on the hands, has a fresh,
clean smell.

Well, apporontly our little
winter is over — for the time
being anyway. We ,have been
given a reprieve by the weath-
erman, and I suppose everyone
has made good use of it. At
Ginger Farm we put on storm
windows, got our coats out of
storage, put the cattle in the
barn and prepared in a general
way for a continuance of stormy
weather. Now we have to throw
open the doors, hang the coats
in the closet, turn the cows
loose in the yard and check off
the fires. In a contest with the
weatherman you just can't win,
But who's grumbling? We didn't
want winter yet, anyway.
You know, I'm beginning to
think a few people must be
reading this column! Remember
the hue and cry I raised about
hunters roaming the farm with-
out , permission, Well about
ten days after that a hunter
came along one night, asked
permission to leave his car in
the lane and to go hunting across
the fields. Imagine that! [ asked
him if he intended setting any
traps, "No," he said, "if we set
straps we come and tell you."
So one hunter at least has the
courtesy. to observe the rules of
the game — and he is welcome
on our farm any time.
Since I wrote that little tirade
about hunters we have read
several times of young cattle be-
ing shot by trespassers on farm
property, This matter of hunt-
ing is always a problem. Some
people, as a matter' of princi-
ple, are opposed to hunting of
any kind, with or without per-
mission. But we have to take a
realistic attitude, I think. If
there were no hunting at all
country districts would soon be
over -run with predatory birds
and beasts. Foxes, for instance,
can soon wipe out the profits
of a poultry farther; deer are a
menace ori the highway, and al-
so to crops; beavers must he
kept under control or their in-
dustrious habits may cause flood-
ing to the point of inconven-
ience. And if the Indians were
prohibited from hunting their
main source of income/ would be
gone — and what would women
do then for their fox furs and
muskrat coats? It is also com-
forting to know that unnecessary
suffering of animals is not al-
e lowed. Humane practices in
hunting and trapping must be
followed. Another point to con-
sider , , , Wild life, reforestation
and conservation go together.
We need all the trees we can
grow so — more trees, better
conservation, more wild life ,--
and of course, more hunting. A
logical sequence, isn't it?
Incidentally, for those who
want trees to plant next spring
it isn't a bit too early to order
them now. According to the
Department of Lands and Forests
the demand for delivery of young
trees next spring has already
exceeded the available supply,
so I suppose the trees will be
more or less rationed out. The
Department says seedlings grown
in nurseries have a better chance
of survival than natural or wild
stock, transplanted from bush to
garden. The nursery stock has
a better developed root systein
and se withstands the shock of
transplanting to your soil, Gene-
rally speaking white pine is for
sandy soil; red pine. anywhere at
all, But look around in your
own 'district, If most of the
trees are elms, maples, biretta Or
oaks, your can be almost certain
they will do better than_.ever-
greens. So says the Department
---and it should know.,
Last week we had still ano-
ther courtesy call. None other
than a surveyor from the De-
partment of Highways. His mis-
sion was to inform us that the De-
partment was making another
survey through our farm fou the
proposed new highway. This
survey is 200 feet farther north
than the other one. To us it is
much more satisfactory because
it is farther away from the barn
— 400 feet in all. However, even
this may not be the final sur-
vey — the ways of government
departments being hard to fa-
thom., But if it isn't final there
will be an awful lot of iron
stakes to pull up all through
the country, The surveyor show-
ed us a map of the district
clearly indicating all the farms,
complete with buildings — and
all done from aerial photo-
graphs. You never know what
is going on overhead these days;
what secrets are shared with
those who fly up yonder. Look-
ing at the map I wouldn't have
been surprised had I seen a
Monday morning wash flapping
in the breeze.
Well, we have just cone back
from Toronto, after paying a
visit to our grandson. Of course
he is wonderful and looks more
like a human being every day.
He also has a good pair of lungs
and a voracious appetite, Judge
ing by the number of presents
that were sent to welcome his
coining he is also a very lucky
baby. But I will spare .you any
further eulogies, He may be
wonderful to us but to other
folk I know he is just another
baby.

Now ,The Perfect
Burglar Alarim
Bad news for burglars! It's a
burglar alarm which has recent-
ly been tried out in Nottingham,
where the police were pioneers
of radio and forensic science,
It's so effective that since it
was installed nothing has been
lost from many of the protected
buildings and there has not been
a single illegal entry into one
without tui arrest.
At the Chief Constable's head-
quarters is a control panel which
warns of a "contact" at any of
the fifty premises which have al-
ready had the alarm fitted, The
circuit is proof against wire -cut-
ting or the cutting -off of current,
It has been called the perfect
bugler alarm.
This remarkable device wilt
also indicate tire, give the code
number of the building concern-
ed, and record automatically the

At 12.55 one morning not long
ago an alarm sounded, A than

e When these lines were written,

fractures suffered In the past by Ace
Bailey and Elmer Lach, and It is de-
voutly to be hoped that no such near-

But if such an accident does befall, it will be in part the
fault of the victim, because he, like all other hockey players,
refused to wear. a helmet. In baseball there is nothing like
the contacts or the physical dangers that are constantly pre-
sent in hockey. But during the past summer, Frank Lane of
the Chicago White Sox revived the idea of compelling all
batters to wear protective headgear at the plate, And, of
course, he was 100 per cent correct.
Serious consequences have followed "beaning" of batters,
whether purely accidental or the result of trying to "dust off"
the hitter, just as falls on the ice, or headlong crashes into the
boards, whether from checks or trips, lay hockey players open
to similar injury.
Ballplayers are like hockey players, and said to oppose
this safety device, however. "False pride" is the explana-
tion offered. "Pride goeth before destruction" Is a proverb
recommended to the attention of potential beanball victims of
baseball, or head injuries in hockey.
In other sports, where head injuries are always a possibility,
protection is accepted and in some cases mandatory. Jockeys,
football players, auto race drivers and fighters in training all
use protective headgear, Sonne football players even wear
fase masks, not only in scrimmage practice but in games.
•
After the Ace Bailey crash, there was an edict that all
hockey players must wear helmets. The teams provided
these, but after a few weeks they were tossed into the discard,
Players said they were too hot, But the truth is, the players
were too proud of their physical toughness to wear them.
They considered hehnels effeminate,
But if those exposed to danger in other sports wear helmets

.. PLAIN HORSE SENSE..
By BOB ELLIS
Listening the other day to C,
H. Millard, National Director of
United Steelworkers, address-
ing the Semi -Annual Meeting
of the Ontario Farmers Union
we could not help being greatly
impressed with the speaker's
sincerety and his concern over
the welfare, not only of his own
steelworkers, but of all working
people.
Referring back to the times
when women and children used
to work twelve hour days in the
mines and factories of Britain,
Mr. Millard said that such con-
ditions would be unthinkable
today; the change had been
brought about by the people
themselves when they organized
Into unions,
Same Interest
Mr. Millard said that an or-
ganization was as strong as the
loyalty of its members to it. "It
Is not enough to organize for an
Immediate material profit. Far-
mer's must have faith in far-
mers, workers in, workers, and
both in each other,"
The interests of farmers and
It's No Yolk — Mrs, Frank Miller
is mightly proud of the huge
half -pound egg that was laid re-
cently on her farm, Above, Mrs.
Miller smiles after cracking the
giant egg into a bowl. Below is
a close-up of the. contents of the
big shell—a normal egg and two
yolks. ,
workers, the two largest groups
of producers and consumers,
were interdependent. if one
group was down and out, the
other would soon follow. As an
example Mr. Millard cited the
farm implement industry which,
due to the reduced purchasing
power of the farmer, had laid
off over half of its employees.
Those unemplo td, of course,
could not buy the farmer's prod-
ucts and eventually all would
"end up in the sante soup."
Farmers, Organize;
• IIe was therefore not speak-
ing unselfishly, said Mr. Millard,
when he urged farmers to build
a strong organization )f their
own.
The 500 fanners who had
come to Arthur from as far
as 100 Whiles away to listen to
Canada's great leader of work-
ing people, heard his offer that
"anything that labour has learn-
ed by way of research and or-
ganization is at your disposal."
Proud of Union
Earlier in the day the meet-
ing was given a report by Chris.
Hansen, Junior President of the
Saskatchewan Farmers Union
on union activities in the West,
mainly concerning wheat and
livestock marketing.
There were 1050 union locals
with close to 70,000 members in
Saskatchewan, Mr, Hansen stated,
He also related how Mr. Gar-
diner, Minister of Agriculture
Was once asked at a political
meeting what he thought of the
Farmers Union.
For an answer Jimmy Gar-
diner pulled out his member-
ship card and said that rip had
been a member for twenty
years, that he was proud of the
union and that every termer
should belong to it,
Resolutions
The meeting discusse 1 and
adopted a number of resolutions
demanding legislation provid-
ing for national marketing agen-
cies; an enquiry into the prob-
lems created by edible oil imi-
tations of dairy products and an
enquiry into the causes )f high
prices of farm machinery, fer-
tilizer, binder twine and ' ubber
goods.
The union farmers also went
on record as favouring union
security for farmetrs and workers
by the voluntary revocable
checkoff or other suitable
means, and urged the govern-
ment to bring in the necessary
legislation,

We here under the impression
that we were familiar with
about all the horse -racing stories
and anecdotes that had ever
been published. Ind'ced, at vari-
ous'
ari•ous• times we have been guilty
of inflicting a few on the read-
ing public.
However, in the latest issue of
"The Police Gazette" -- which
isn't a bit like the old sheet we
used to buy surreptitiously and
read behind closed doors —.
Charles Morey has a batch of
them, some of which were new
to us, and all well worth pass-
ing on. So here are a few of
them:
Bookmakers, in the days. when
they held sway,, were like every-
body else. Some were good, some
were bad; some were on the,
level, some were cheaters, and
some were just plain lucky.
Back in 1919, a bookmaker
operating at Saratoga refused to
subscribe to the morning line, It
was the custom of the other
bookmakers to chip in and pur-
chase a line• of prices from an
expert. The lone hold-out used
to wait for the other books to
post their prices. Then he would
"steal" the line,
The other bookies brooded
about it for months and decided
to fix the cheater. One day,
when Man 0' War was entered,
they posted an opening price of
3 to 1 on Big Red. The cheating
bookmaker followed suit, Then
the others quickly changed their
odds to 3 to 5.
Meanwhile, the cheater was
being rushed from all sides by
bettors; eager to get 3 to 1. He
soon found himself with thou-
sands of dollars on Big Red and
no bets on anything else.
The date was August 13, 1919.
The race was the Sanford Stakes.
It was the only race Man 0' War
ever lost. And the winner's name
was Upset!
Don' Give up the Ship too Soon
Department:
At Aqueduct last summer a
filly named Grecian Maid ran
away before the start of ti race,
jumped the fence, and disap-
peared into the stable area. She
was returned to the post, while
her backers moaned. Their
moans turned into cheers when
she romped home the winner by
three lengths.
A couple of decades ago, at
Belmont Park, a filly named
Watch Her was an even -money
favorite in a race down the
Widener Chute. She too, ran
away, but she did it in spades.
Watch Her raced through the
Chute, jumped the rail, and gal-
loped through the paddock `out
onto a highway which parallels
Belmont. It took the efforts of
several mounted policemen to
corral her,
She was taken back to the
post, Bookmakers were olTering
any price against her, with no
takers. Watch Her zipped 'to the
front at t1i 'break and galloped
on the lead all the way to win
easily. * *
A man who had just been fired
from his job drifted into Rock-
ingham Park in Salem, New
Hampshire, one afternoon in 1945,
Figuring. that things couldn't get
worse, he decided to try his luck
with the horses, He noticed that
a horse entered in the first race
was named Mighty Tough, and
that another in the second race
was called Detach, He coupled
the two horses in the daily
double,
Bingo! The pay-off was $8,014,-

40 for $2.001
A once-in-a-lifetime happen-
ing? Perhaps, At a Midwest
track, two soldiers rattled up to
the gate in a well-worn convert-
ible. They had $2.19 between
them. Their uniforms got them
in at the pass gate, A dime pur-
chased a program, They placed
the program on the ground and
rolled a pebble over it twice,
noting where the pebble stopped
•— but neither of the selected
horses appealed to them. They
rolled the pebble twice more and
this time shot their $2.00 bank-
roll on a daily -double ticket.
Again bingo! The pay-off was
$2,400 for $2.00!
At Monmouth Park in New
Jersey, several lucky people
cashed in a double of $2,831,40
on the combination of 8 and 1.
One exultant winner explained
that he was caught in a traf-
fic jam on his way to the track
and was anchored behind one
ear for most of the trip, The
license number was 81, An old
iady, cramming big blink notes
into a tiny purse, gave the Cred-
it to her parents. "I played my
age -'-' 81," she explained. "But
suppose I were a year older or
youngerl" *
.An axiom of the turf insists
there are 1,000 ways to lose a
race. The 1,00th way came up at
Rockingham Park a few years
ago, Jockey Warren Yarberry
turned into the stretch aboard
the front -running Singing Slave.
As the jocks say, lie was just
"lookin' an' cookin.' "
Singing Slave's backers were
racing to the pay-off windows as
.the filly flew past the sixteenth
pole five lengths in front, Just at
that moment, a hurricane roared
into Rockingham, It lifted Yar-
berry neatly out of the saddle and
deposited him, startled but un-
injured, in the infield.

A good jockey doesn't need In-
structions, and a poor one can't
follow them. Some years ago the
clever veteran, Ty Meloche, was
riding for ' an inexperienced ow-
ner. In the paddock, before the
race, the novice horseman told
the rider Ile had prepared in-
structions for him.
He showed the pop -eyed Me-
loche a map of the Thistle Downs
racing strip on which he had
indicated the various furlong
poles with exact instructions on
what to do at each post, "Be on
your toes at the start," read the

Meloche -gulped in dismay and
stuffed the riding orders into his
boots, The horse he was riding
finished a bad last,
"What happened, can't you
read?" screamed the owner, as
the horses pulled up after the
race.
"Sure, I can read," Meloche
grinned. "The trouble was—those
other horses couldn't!"
Blood Money
Most inventors rub their hands
with delight when they receive
monetary rewards. • Their bank
balances soar,. Invention's stony
tracks have ed then to palaces
of gold.
Not so with Wallis Barnes, In
recognition of his war -time boffin
labours as designer -in -chief of
block busters, earthquake bombs
or tall -boys and similar lovelies
used by "Bomber" Harris in his
softening -up campaigns, Barnes
was awarded 110,000. by the
British Royal Commission on
Awards to Inventors. He refused
to touch a penny of it, however.
He gave It all to a fund to help
to educate the sons and daughters
of R.A.F. men killed in the war.
Such mone3, he regarded, in
David's words, as "the blood of
men who went in jeopardy of
their lives."

On November 23rd, the Fireside
farm forum met at the home of Mr,
and Mrs. Robert Dalton with twenty-
three adults present. After the broad-
cast, a report of the annual meeting
mid banquet in Londesboro Hall was
g'ven by the representatives, Mrs, I
Babcock, Mrs, Tebbutt, Mr. and Mrs,
George Carter. Each told of special
features of the program, discussion
periods and address by Clifford Waite.
The questionnaire on car -driving was
answered,
The two topics discussed at the An -
nu -1 meeting were discussed in the
forum.
(1) In our opinion, the producers In
our locality are receiving value for the
money collected through the "June set-
aside." We have spent very little mon-
ey for advertising so can't expect much
in returns.
(2) We are in favor of collecting
money in much the same way to subsi-
dize the export of surplus dairy pro-
ducts. We think it should be managed
by one Board of Directors for dairy
products and that all engaged in the
dairy business should contribute their
just share. It "pays to advertise" say
merchants and manufacturers, so why
not the farmer?
(3) The majority are opposed to
Agricultural Price Supports in peace
time except in cases of emergency.
As with the price of beef last year.
Without the support given then, many
in the beef -cattle business would have
been bankrupt.
(4) We are in favour of farm or-
ganizations adopting a two -price sys-
tem whereby surplus products wou'd
be exported at a competitive price
and lower than the price charged on
the home market. Better sell the pro-
duct for less than keep a huge surplus
at home.
(5) If this system were adopted, we
think it should be administered by a
Board comprised of two-thirds farm-
ers and one-third of Government re-
presentatives.
Then we discussed rural -urban ten-
sions.
In our neighbourhood the villages
and towns are comprised largely of
many who formerly lived or worked
on farms and understand conditions
Supplement To --
fairly well, The farmers and their
families have many rola( ves and close
friends among the urban people. S.)
we feel there is very 1.ttle tension or
ill -feeling between the two classes,
Any that exists is due to misunder-
standings.
(1) We do not think that food costs
should be lowered unless machinery
and other necessary expenses of the
farmer are greatly lowered.
(2) Making the facts of farming bet-
ter kn,wn would help.
(3) We should try to understand the
problems of urban people.
(4) We might invite town people M
our farm forums and farmer g•ther-
ings
(5) We should always realize that
there are two sides to most questions,
approach subjects with an op:n mind,
an I try to understand the other per-
son's problems. We are each depen-
dant upon the other.

groups discussed the questions on —
What steps should Canada take to
show Astatic countries that our atti-
tude toword them is friendly and non.
aggressive? The groups decided we
should send to Asia our surplus food
and also missionaries, doctors and
specialists in other lines to show the
people how to make better use of what
they have in the line of material re-
sources. This should be a government
project. We should also show the
Asiatics in our own country that we
are willing to share our heritage with
them. It was decided we could con-
vince others that the democratic way
of life is better than the communist
wP' by having young people of other
countries visit our country and see for
themselves what democracy really is
like, and when they go home they
waurd be gonrl missionaries for our
way of life. O -e thing they would be
sure to notice is the long unguarded
borderline between Canada and the
United States, which would be impos-
sible in communist countries.
The forum will meet on Dec. 7th at
the home of Mrs. J. L. McDowell, with
the recreation in charge of Gordon
McDowell. The recreation on Monday
night was in charge of Mrs. Walter
Cook, Lunch was served and a social
