Campton, 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.

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 in Sherwood Forest, Friar Tuck and Little John, Maid Marian and the debonair Robin have 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 Robin (now exposed to the world as Little Red Robin Hood). From "The Christian Science Monitor." 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! v TABLE TALKS elana.Anacews.

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 - baking set, based on popular brand mixes and frostings.

It was inevitable that sooner or later he should meet another woman, but– , 'hi : second romance was another rose barbed with thorns. He was romantic, famous and rich, but —alas!—by now lie was growing old. Perhaps Strauss's great mis- fortune was to imagine himself in love with Lily Dietrich, Her pretence of returning his passion xas mere coquetry. In the parks gossiping tongues, wag. god. He had not been married a day before he realized his mis- take. Though lie madly adored his. Lily, his love was not re- turned, " Nobody was surprised that an alliance so strange and unhappy presently ended in divorce. Strauss was broken, lost, For a«time no new waltzes enchanted the crowds and he threatened to 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 down together? No courtship C 77 `" •` ri ser Ia P Holy Land Rocks •- Part of a 100 -ton shipment of rocks from historic Biblical sites is .unloaded from the SS Excellency at a Jersey City pier, The shipment arrived from Haifa, Israel, with material to build an authentic" Garden of Israel" at Beth Israel Memorial Park. 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.

Everything But Out -Of -Gas is duplicated for mechanically -minded boy in this strip -down toy car, which can be put back together again with a complete set of life -like tools. 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 IL%Y SCllOOt LESSON By Rev R ti Warren t3.A.. B.D. Government Under God Romans 13: 1-10; Acts 5: 25-29 Memory Selection; Ile shall not be discouraged, till he haus •set judgment fn the earth: and the Isles shall wait for his law. Isaiah 42:4. 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 of these. However, we ought to do more, than refrain from evil We must proclaim the g od, Le; our leaders know that lye hold God's laws in high repute. Those who would lower the standards do not hesitate to speak. The Toronto East presbytery of the United Church at its meeting on November 4, expressed its op 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. To keep snow boots new. looking longer, hang them up by clipping the tops to a trou- ser hanger.

After two years it suffered no adverse effects, according to Public Utili- ties Manager, J. Dawson. • * This piping is also provini successful in Canadian mine i 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.

ANNA I4UST _,vim,, Feway esw..,eiat._ "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? Mrs. A. G. C." NO VIRTUE IN HIM * It is distressing enough when * a man squanders money on • others which his family needs; • but when he mistreats his wife • and keeps his little girl in a • state of fear, there seems no • virtue in him. What you must * have endured for nearly 20 * years is enough to drive most * wives to the divorce courts. • If you are unwilling to con- • sider that drastic step, why not • talk things over with a Dom- *'estic Relations Court? Their ad- * vice would be helpful, I am • sure, and should at least relieve • your immediate economic situ. * ation, * It is not only your peace of • mind that is at stake, but the • emotional development of your • children; one is already being • frightened by her father's bel- • ligerence, and the other cannot 503 Knit a shrug to toss over everything, to keep you warm and cosy all winter!

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, 123 Eighteenth St,, New Toronto, Ont. �,� H 13 GAR E W G 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 a vegetable, stories connected FOR EFFECTIVE RELIEF...

The outstanding quality o t herbs is their fragrance and it is particularly strong either in the morning, when there has been a heavy dew, or late in the afternoon after a summer shower At any time of day, as one ap- proaches the garden one inhales a scene composed of a blend in which can be detected elements of spice, fruit, rose, mint, anise and sometimes balsom, The prevailing color of Curb: is gray. Moreover, one's interest in them does not center primarily on their brightly colored flowers but on the patterns made by their leaves, The flowers come in delicate tints, some of them blue to purple, colors preferred by bees, who are constant visi- tors, Then there are touches of pink in old-fashioned roses, red in bee balms and yello ' in a galium or broom, warm against the coolness of prevailing grays and blues, When a more vivid color note is desired, it can be provided by calendulas and nas- turtiums.—From "The Years in My Herb Garden," by Helen M.

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.

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. ISSUE 49 — 1953 Now ,The Perfect Burglar Alarim Bad news for burglars!

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 for safely, why should hockey players be too proud to do like- wise?

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, This column welcomes sug- gestions, wise or foolish, and all criticism, whether constructive or destructive and will try to answer any question, Address your letters to Bob Ellis, Box 1, 123 • 18th Street, New Toronto, Ont. , Gifts For The Big Boys — Nylon stockings, dyed red and filled with Christmas goodies, will brighten the coming holidays in Korea for soldier relatives and friends of these two women.

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,- k * :� Pretty Kitty — Veteran show cat "Cy-Boh" ,relaxes in his basket during the recent opening of the International Show of the Cat Club in Paris, France. Some 300 felines were exhibited at the show. 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. * $ r: A good jockey doesn't need In- structions, and a poor one can't follow them.

A delicious supper was served by mem- bers of Group 1, (Too late for last week) 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. Mrs George Dubin invited t h e group to her home for next Monday as thay h ve a TV set. Progressive euchre and lunch com- pleted the evening.

After the radio broadcast the 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.
