OBITUARY
MRS. ARTHUR CRONYN
A well known and respected resident
of this district, Mrs Art4hur Cronyn,.
Passed away following a brief illness
on Saturday, January 1st, at the home
of her daughter and son -In-law, Mr,
and Mrs, John Gooding of London, In
her 86th year,
Born in Morris Township the late
Mrs, Cronyn lived there throughout
here lifetime being a daughter of the
late Michael Kelly and Bridget Tan-
ney. Fifty-ti,vo years ago she married
Arthur Cronyn also of Morris, Wlia
predeceased her five years ago) Since
then she has lived- with her daughter,
Surviving are six children, two boys,
Arthur, of Windsor, and Leo. of Mor-
ris, and four daughters, Mrs. John
(Ann) Gooding, London; Mrs Everett
(Monica) Thompson, and Mrs. Louis
(Violet) Fortune, both of Detroit, and '
Miss Margaret Cronyn, of London.
Four grandchildren, four sisters, and
seven brothhers.
The late Mrs,, Cronyn was a devoted
member of St. Michael's Church,
Blyth, a member of the Altar Society,
I the League of the Sacred Heart, aid
' the Catholic Women's League,
The funeral service was 'from St
Michael's Church, Blyth, at 10 a.m. on
Tuesday, January 4th, with Requiem
High Mass being conducted by Fr,
Graham, parish priest of St. Michael's.
!assisted by Fr, Foulkes, of Dublin, and
' Fr. Durant Mrs. William Lane, of Dub-
lin, presided at the organ. Interment
was made in St, Michael's Roman Cath-
olic cemetery, Morris township.
Pallbearers were Simon and Dan
Hallahan, ' Martin and Harry Grasby,
Lewis Phelan and John Gooding,
While spectators shivered in the cold,
the new $220,000 Patterson Bridge
at Auburn ways formally opened in a
ceremony last Thursday afternoon.
Remarking on the inclemency of, the
day County Engineer Peter Patterson
said: "The weather was against us
when we were building this bridge.
We built 1t anyway. The weather is
against us today, but we're opening it
on schedule." Mr. Patterson was re-
membering the flood conditions of the
Maitland which caused considerable
damage to the then unfinished bridge
during Hurricane Hazel.
The Patterson bridge is named, not
for Peter Patterson who designed it
and supervised its building, but for his
father, the late T. Roy Patterson, wlio
preceded him as Huron County engin-
eer, In the minds of Huron old-tim-
ers, the bridge Is also a manorial to
an earlier Patterson, the late Donald
Patterson who was county engineer in
lluron before his son Roy. The pres-
ent engineer, Peter Patterson, is the
third of the family to hold the position
in succession. In fact no one but a
Patterson has ever been county en-
gineer in Huron.
By coincidence rather than by in-
tention, the new Patterson Bridge is
in the home neighbourhood of the
Patterson family. Donald, the first
Patterson lived at Auburn, and Roy,
his son, was born at Auburn. '
The new bridge replaces a narrow
iron bridge which has carried a main
east.west county road across the val-
ley of the Maitland for nearly 50 years.
In recent years the old bridge has
been regarded as unsafe for heavy
traffic. Several times the floor of the
bridge has been patched where wheels
have broken through the planking,
The old, bridge is to be dismantled in
the spring of 1955,
Mrs. T. Roy Patterson. mother of the
present county engineer, snipped a
white ribbon with a pair of scissors to
signalize the opening of the new
bridge. The unveiling of a bronze
tablet, mounted on tine cement parapet
at the east end of the bridge, was
performed by William D, Dale, reeve
of Hullett, and Warden of Huron, as
one of the last official acts of his year

When making candy, you are
more certain of success if you
use a thermometer, although
good candy can be made with-
out one. A deep saucepan, meas-
uring cup and spoons, a large
wooden spoon for beating, and
pans for cooling are other ne-
cessary items of equipment.
Then select recipes that 'lend
variety as well as attractive-
ness, and your candy reputation
will be made,

Lost Shopping Bag
Found Opportunity
Six weeks ago Mrs, Phyllis
Angel was a Montreal house-
wife who knew no more about
manufacturing than the average
consumer, Today, as one of
Canada's thousands of small
back on enough hard work and
initial sucess to provide the
opening chapters for a Mrs.
Horatio Alger story,
Mrs. Angel entered the light
manufacturing business because
she couldn't find exactly what
she wanted in the shops. After
losing a favorite shopping' bag
which an aunt had crocheted for
her, she was• determihed to re-
place it with one which folded
up and slipped into her hand-
bag. Trudging from store to
store convinced her that she
would have to produce it for
herself as her preference in a
'hoping bag existed only in her
mind. A few weeks later she
found her own design so satis-
factory she decided to produce
it for others, too.
After going through the for-
malities and legalities of choos-
ing 'a name for her business,
100,000 At Funeral
Of "Powder Puff
Shiek" -
What washe really like --
the screen's fabulous lover, Ru-
dolph Valentino,' the "Sheik" of
the 1020s whom young men
aped and women went crazy
about?
"As strange a elan as 1 ever
mel," says Hollywood director
Adolph Zukor, who cast the
young Italian for the part after
he had worked as landscape
gardener, dishwasher, gigolo,
and "bit " actor in the studios,
Iie hardly moved his lips when
he sang. His acting was mostly
confined to protruding his large,
occult eyes, drawing back the
lips of his wide, sensuous mouth,
baring his gleaming' teeth, and
flaring his nostrils,
Always in Debt
Improvident, with expensive
tastes, he lived from day to day,
and all his life was in debt,
Zukor's corporation raised his
salary far above the contract
terns, This only whetted his
appetite, which became down-
right unreasonable after "Blood
and Sand," with America's ]ads
imitating him, women organiz-
ing fan clubs and mobbing the
theatres,
Iie rarely smiled, on the
screen or off; Zukor cannot re-
call'ever having seen him laugh,
yet he could be charming when
he wished, But he could be
violently tempermental, loo.
One day Zulcor saw him ar-
guing with an assistant director.
His face paled with fury, his
eyes stared wildly, his whole
body quivered, he was near hy-
steria. The situation grew worse,
and finally he walked out with
no intention of returning.
Arrested for Bigamy
He was married, but the re-
lationship did not last long,
Later he fell in love with the
beautiful Winifred O'Shaugh-
nessy, who preferred to be
known as Natacha Rambova.
She was art director for Alla
Nazimova, one of Zukor's stars,
and like Valentino, believed
herself to be guided by a super -
neutral power. They were mar-
ried before his divorce decree
was final. Arrested in Los An-
geles for bigamy, he got out of
it on the plea -that the marriage
had never been consummated.
Natacha appeared cold, mys-
terious, and affected Oriental
garb and manners, but it was
felt that she would be a good
influence on him, and she
brought him back. But now,
Zukor _ says in his engrossing
memoirs of fifty years of film
life — "The Public is Never
Wrong"—they had two Powers
to deal with, She began to insert
herself into the smallest details,
and he backed her in everything.
His new pictures, "Monsieur
Beaucaire" and "The Sainted
Devil," were less successful,
$80,000 'Trip
But the • Valentino cult con• `
tinued. Newspapers poked fun
at the sleek hair and powdered
faces of the "sheiks." Things
were not helped when he wore
a slave bracelet given him by
Nataeha, but he raged at any
suggestions that he discard it.
Zukor's firm did not renew
his contract, partly because Na-
tacha wanted even more con-
trol over his pictures, so with a
new compnny founded for the
purpose he began work on a
film dealing with the Moors in
early Spain, Author; Natacha.
The pair spent $80,000 travel-
ling in Europe for background
material and exotic props, then
the story was . shelved and
"Cobra" substituted, with Nu-
tacha in full charge, It did poor-
ly, and the venture folded up, so
did the marriage. Shortly after
Joseph Schenck of United Art-
ists took a chance with "The
Son of the Sheik," Valentino's
last picture,
having It duly registered and
obtaining a permit, she ap-
proached her first buyer with
her first handmade sample,
"I had to make every stitch
of it by hand as I didn't even
own a sewing machine and I'm
a terrible sewer," she recalls.
However, she found buyers
didn't exactly leap at the oppor-
tunity of looking at a shopping
bag. Nor did their eyes pop
when they saw hers,
"I knew there was nothing
really ingenious about my de-
sign," she - says, "so I simply
drew their attention to its main
features, Since so many women
loathe carrying shopping bags, I
tried to make mine attractive
selected a heavy nylon taffeta
with a rich sheen,, which folds
up easily to about handkerchief
size, The fabric retains its
crispness and a snap fastener
keeps the bag neatly collapsed
wnen not to use.
One sof the first buyers she
called on immediately threw up
his hands at the mention of
"shopping bag." "Why, I've so
many shopping bags, I would
like to sell you some," he said.
After finally agreeing to "just
look at" her sample, he admit-
ted that it filled a need and was
unlike any he had in stock. A
few minutes later Mrs, Angel
left his office with an order for
five dozen. Another store which
was already carrying a fold -up
type, ordered three dozen be •
-
cause it considered hers more
attractive.
Since then she has sold to two
other department stores and a
number of smaller retail outlets
in Montreal, rented a sewing
machine in a factory . and en-
gaged an operator. To date Mrs.
Angel herself has been doing all
the cutting and packaging in cel-
lophane, She has obtained two
small machines for heat -sealing
and • attaching the dome 1 asten-
ers and plastic tabs,
"I find I'm actually enjoying
all my business problems and
believe me I have most' of the
problems if none of the organi-
zation of a big manufacturer. I
must go to a chain store and pay
fifteen cents each 'for my car-
tons and then carry them
away,"
She has found that getting
help is the easiest part of her
operation, selling the hardest,
because'"stores are very sales
resistant these days," and pack-
aging the most important. She
cautions would-be manufactur-
' ers against going into business
to make money quickly. "If
you n e e d money desper-
ately," she says, "go to work,
but not for yourself."
A new Canadian, she came to
Montreal eight years ago with
her engineer husband a n d
grown-up son, Auburn -haired
and energetic, she says this is
her first fling at business. Prior
to her marriage she was with
an English newspaper feature
service, but since then has al-
ways been too busy taking care
of her family and home to give
manufacturing a thought until
the day she lost her shopping
' bag.

He was in Chicago when the

closing with "Utter Contempt."
• SUICIDE AND RIOTS .
When Valentino, stricken with
appendicitis, died in 1925, Zukor
was stunned by the hysteria
which followed. In London a
woman dancer committed sui-

rubbed soap on the pavement to
make the horses slip,

attraction in an old-world inn
in Herefordshire, But recently
health officials ordered the li-

the licensee: "We spent years

A few years ago a young
unemployed Frenchman raised.
thousands and thousands of tiny
spiders and built up a business
selling them to, wine merchants.
The insects were turned loose
among consignments of new
wine so that they could leave
cobwebs all over the bottles,
making them appear like rich
vintage wine. •
More fantastic still was the
use made of cobwebs by the
doting ands wealthy father of
two pretty daughters when they
were married in Louisiana, in
1855. He arranged for enormous
quantities of a special species
of Chinese spider to be shipped
to his mansion.
He also bought in California
gold and silver dust weighing
500 lb.
The spiders were turned loose
in the mile -long avenue of great
pine trees and soon the pines
were linked in a fairyland of
cobwebs.

Writing in the Agricultural
Institute Review, Dr. K, W. Hill
summarizes tests made with
various synthetic soil condition-
ers in a number of locations
extending from Vancouver Is-
land to Nova Scotia. The ob-
jectives were to learn the effects
on the yields and quality of the
crops and note the physical ef-
fects on the soil.
* • *
More than two dozen individ-
ual experiments were made dur-
ing 1952-53 and in two cases
significant advantages were at-
tributed to the treatment with
soil conditioner. At Nappan Ex-
perimental Farm, the yield of
marketable potatoes on dyke -
land soil was increased 11 per
cent as a result of adding 2,000
pounds of conditioner per acre,
and at Normandin Experimental
Station, the yield of silage corn
was increased 83 per cent follow-
ing treatment with 1,000 pounds
of conditioner per acre. In the
remainder of the tests on oats,
sugar beets, wheat, corn grain,
barley and potatoes — except
at Nappan — no significant dif-
ferences in yield could be as:
Bribed to the conditioner,
• ,. •
In other tests it, was found
that soil conditioners had a
measurable effect on soil prop-
erties. Generally they tended
to improve the crumb structure
and the rate of percolation of
water through the soil was
speeded up. The total porosity
and the non -capillary porosity
was higher in the treated than
in the untreated soil,
* • *
Results of the studies do not
indicate that soil conditioners
at present available have a place
in general farming practice in
Canada, With current costs of
about $1 a pound, conditioners
could not reasonably be used at
recommended rates except on
very small plots or extremely
valuable land, Clearly evident
changes in certain physical
characteristics of the soil due
to treatment with conditioners
have been noted consistently but
these benefits have• not been re-
flected in higher yields.

The grade requirements for
each crop are set out in the Meat
and Canned Foods Act. For ex-
ample, the regulations for can-
ned peas include the following
specifications:--
• * •
Fancy—Prepared from young,
tender peas, practically free
from loose skins and splits; shall
be tender and have a normal
flavour; shall be uniform in col-
our and maturity; the liquor
shall remain clear.
* * •
Choice—Prepared from fairly
young, tender peas, 90 per cent
free from loose skins and splits;
shall, be fairly tender and have
a normal flavour; shall be 80
per' cent uniform in colour and

Standard — Prepared from
peas not necessarily uniform in
colour or maturity 'or free from

shall be 90 per cent free from
hard ripe peas; the liquor need
not be clear.

Corresponding descriptions are
given for other products so that
the consumer, by simply noting
the grade on the label, can be
guided as 'to the quality within
each container. Often, the price
differences between grades is
very small in comparison with
the differences in quality. The
discerning customer can often
purchase Choice and preferably
Fancy products to better advan-
tage than the Standard products.

Stolen Hamper Was
Policeman's Hiding Place
Concealed in a luggage van
of the Manchester to London
night express, two railway po-
licemen recently saw a pair of
thieves creep into the van and
break open a mail -bag. As one
of then plunged a hand inside
it, he gasped with astonishment.
For two nearby mailbags had
suddenly conte to life — and out
popped the policemen)
With an authorized establish-
ment of 3,842, the present - day
strength of the British Trans-
port Commission's Police Force
is 3,365 policemen and 113
policewomen. This is a sizeable
squad, the biggest single dark
blue force. outside thy civic po-
lice in Britain,
It shoulders no light burden.
For, as the Force's chief officer,
Mr. William Richards points out,
it has to guard 51,000 miles of
railway tracks plus huge termini,
docks and inland waterways.
Broken Bottle Attacks
Since the introduction of
guard dogs to Glasgow sidings
and goods yards there has been
no record of a railway pilfer-
ing gang' mauling or assaulting
a police officer, Previously, sev-
eral officers were beaten- to their,
knees and badly injured by as-
, sailants armed with broken bot-
tles and crowbars.
At Hull docks, the first port
to be dog patrolled, an officer
had to grapple with two roar-
ing drunks. One bit his ears as
the other seized hire, It seemed
he must be hurled into the
water, but his whistle brought
'a police dog into action, and
soon both men were completely
subdued.
The. dogs, bred and trained at
Hull, operate now In docks
along the north-east coast, in
railway depots and sidings both
in Scotland and London, Alsa-,
,clans, they can smell any inter-
loper lurking in a van or tunnel.
Crook's Bunting Ground
Scotland Yard co-operated
with the railway police in track-
ing down and suppressing one
of the worst rackets of recent
times. Waterloo Station, London,
was the crooks' hunting ground.
Here, in a six month period,
nearly £50,000 worth of parcels
vanished, Eventually, the plot
was unmasked.
The chief stooges were two
dishonest porters. Picking out
likely looking parcels, they
stuck fake labels on top of the
existing ones, thereby consign-
ing the parcels to stations on
London's outskirts.,At the same
time, they narked the packages
"To Be Called For,"
Accomplices then drew up in
their cars and collected the
spoils, Much of this enormous
loot found its way into a Soho
flat, exhibited as a trade stall.
Here, at bargain prices, the
booty -- ranging from first-class
golf bags, fishing sets and
whisky cases to ladies' under-
wear, frocks and cameras -- was
sold to discreet customers. When
the flat was raided the police re-
covered £624 worth of stolen
goods, a small proportion un-
fortunately of the the totalof
the gang's filchings.
Railway police often show
outstanding courage. One, Rob-
ert Cameron, recently saved a
£4,000 vanload of whisky and
was awarded the B.E.M. — most
deservedly.
He was on his usual beat at
Buren -on -Trent when he saw
a gang jump into a lorry which
had whisky aboard, Dashing for-
ward, he grappled with one of
them and managed to immo-
bilize the vehicle, But, a solitary
policeman, he was no match for
a whole gang of determined
thugs. They hammered into him
and, as they trussed him up
like a turkey, he feigned un-
consciousness.
They dragged him off to a
warehouse and left him there,
But as soon as they locked the
door on him Cameron struggled
free, ran to a shunter's cabin,
raised the alarm and saved the
whisky.
In 1951, British Railways
adopted a pl'ecatition which hu
since paid dividends — the pro-
vision of steel grille corridors
alongside luggage vans, so
screening oft the van's contents
very effectively from petty pil-
ferers. But the fight never re-
laxes; and "all's fair" in this
unseen battle of the tradks and
sidings. Police disguise them-
selves as porters, holiday-
makers, .ticket collectors, shunt-
ers, even business men, clean-
ers and waiters in order to
watch suspects, or Investigate a
source of leakage.
Goods Trains "Milked"
In Scotland, a few months
back, a shady coal merchant
entered into league with some
gangsters and, for a time, "milk-
ed" goods trains so craftily that
dozens of truck -loads of best
quality house coals, were divert-
ed into his yard. He never paid
a penny for a single consign-
ment.
In Wales, a gang greased the
tracks along a stretch of steep
gradient. They selected moon-
less nights for their • van -bust-
ing operations, Then, as train
was forced to stop while the
crew sanded the rails, they
struck, bursting open the goods
van with crowbars to whip out
everything within reach into a
waiting lorry,
But sometimes the rail gangs,
responsible for sixty per cent.
of all thieving on our railways,
catch .a Jonah or one of Chief
Officer Richards' "plants,"
A rail 'tee hid himself in a
wicker hamper inside a goods
van at Camden Town. It was,
he imagined, a perfect observa-
tion post. But judge his surprise
when the thieves he intended
to watch pinched the basket and
carried him off, along with other
stolen goods, to a poky little
warehouse off London's docks!
He popped up through the lid,

Again, through spreading
false information at haunts
popular with goods thieves, the
railway police dangle a bogus
carrot before the gang's noses.

Policewomen, too, act as de-
coys and tackle the risky job of
detecting and arresting those

railway blue, or plain clothes,
often find their mirrors handy

Seen in the Mirror
Perhaps the most inspired use
of a mirror was made by a po-
liceman disguised as a porter
at Crewe.Glancing into a slot
machine's mirror, he saw a man
fidgeting with his braces, Hav-
ing undone them — he was hid-
ing behind a pillar — he turned
slowly round and round as If.
winding himself up, The police-
man moved over to investigate.
Instantly, his man hared off
down the line. But, with his
braces unfastened, he was a
loser from the start,
As.expected, his trousers slip-
ped down. "All right, it's a fair
cop," he grimaced, sheepishly.
What interested his pursuer was
not so much his embarrassment
as the coil upon_coil of tobacco
twist he had wrapped around
his middle. All of it was stolen
from a goods van crate,
AYSCIIOOI
LESSON
Rev. R. B. Warren, B,A,, B,D.
The Living God
Psalm 103: 8-13; Isaiah 40: 26-ttj
Matthew 0:9b; John 4:23-24; 10:31
Memory Selection: God is a
Spirit, and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit
and in truth, John 4:24,
We become like the gods we
worship, Mythology tells us of
the gods of the ancient Greeks
and Romans. They were jealous
of each other, capricious and
underhanded In their dealing
with other gods and with men.
They were in constant conflict,
dealing out vengence of one
sort or another, had illicit love
affairs with each other and with
human s, became intoxicated
with the drink of the gods, and
such like. The worshippers of
these gods became like then and
fell into moral and physical de-
cay.
Carson Reber, a former army
chaplain says that we have our
gods of power, money, personal,
gain and pleasure, with equally
calamitous results. Nervous
breakdowns fill our mental hos-
pitals, drunkenness and divorce
are breaking up the home, sex
crimes are on the increase, and
juveniles are becoming more
lawless and bolder, With all
our military might we have less
security than ever before. This
is but a little of what comes
when we burn incense to other
than the Lord God Almighty.
The god of the Bible is dif-
ferent. He is pure and holy,
merciful and gracious, benefi-
cent and forgiving. Christ, his
divine Son, is the "express im-
age of his person." When we
yield our lives to his He will
completely forgive us our sins.
We will love him and our great
desire wil be to serve him. Thus
we will become like hien,
This is the way of happiness,
"He giveth power to the faint."
Without Him we are weak, baf-
fled and frustrated. We need
God, Let us seek Him while He
may be found and call upon
Him while He is near. "To them
that have no might He increaseth
strength.
ON THE °ARIA
Juliette Pialat, a Parisian
fortune teller, was not a little
surprised to read in the cards
that her dear husband would
suffer a heavy blow in the near
future.
That the cards were right was
beyond doubt; but as time wore
On and the prophecy wasn't full -
filled Mm. Pialat began to won-
der. Had she slipped up? It was
out of the question; perhaps the
mystic power needed a little
encouragement? She supplied it
— a hefty whack on her hus-
band's head with a heavy club.
'Hubby didn't approve, so ,the
fortune teller ended up in
court,

"Dear Anne Hirst. What can 1
' do with a mother-in-law who
tries to run the whole family?
She loves her grandchildren, but
must have her own way despite
their ordered routine. She delib.
erately wakes my baby up when
it is obvious she wants to sleep.
She tells me what to feed her
(thought she is under our doc.
tor's guidance) and dictates
what she must wear.
"She complained lately to my
husband that I was stingy with
our baby, I let her have the baby
for an afternoon — with the
result that she had an accident,
"She insists we spend every
holiday with the whole family,
regardless of what we have
planned. If I want to enjoy the
day quietly at home, she accuses
me of trying to take her son
away) Yet when I am sick she
comes over and helps out, even
takes me to the doctor.
"The situation is especially in-
volved because my husband
owns a business with his father
and brothers. Their home is near-
by, and he lunches there every
day. , .. I don't know what to
do about. all this. Do you?

* she 'alights at modern practice
• es of diet and training, and im•
* poses her old-fashioned ideas
* upon her grandchildren in
* such a high-handed manner
**that it is almost impossible
for their parents to interfere,
She' considers this her duty,
born of love for them all, Her
deliberate planning of your
personal life is an no y i n g
enough, But when she inter-
feres with the raising of your
baby, you must protest. Whose
baby is it, after all? If a moth-
er has any rights, the first one
is to bring up her child in the
way she thinks he should go.
If you are ever to escape from
your mother-in-law's domina-
tion, you will have to have
your husband's cooperation,
Explain to him that you and
he are responsible for the wel-
fare of the baby. You have
enlisted the best medical ad.
vice, and it is your duty to fol-
low it. Tell him that from now
on you intend to, and you de-
pend upon hhn to back you
up.
Also, remind him that you
and he must have greater pri.
vacy. Husband and wife can-
not enjoy a full life together
and grow closer with the years
if they share all their leisure
hours with either family. You
will join the reunions occa-
sionally, but you and he need
times alone with your baby;
this is your right and his,
Once he realizes how essential
it is, he will discover how
much happier he, and you,
can be. To convince him tnay
require all your courage, de-
termination and tact; he is
accustomed to his mother's
management and has accepted
it without question. But he
must be fair to you and his
child, 1 hope he will realize
that.
When you two talk this over
with his mother, be calm and
* kind. Emphasize your appre-
* elation of her helpful kind-
* nesses, but remind her that it
* is you ,and your husband who
* must decide what is best for
" your baby, and for yourselves.
* Good luck!
Your mother-in-law should
have your respect and, if pos-
sible, your affection.. But when
she interferes with your chil-
dren's training, you have. to take
a stand. Anne Hirst can advise
you how to handle the situation
tactfully. Write her at Box 1, 123

Ont.
Talking Color

color itself! claims Wilfred H.

nish division of Canadian Indus-
tries (1954) Limited, He is one
man who doesn't believe that "a
rose by any other name would
smell as sweet."
Mr. Sinclair should knew. For
many years he has been dream-
ing up tantalizing color names
like "taffy tan" and "pink mist"
and washing the response of
people who buy the paint. .
"Whether she realizes it or
not, a woman choosing a color
for a room picks a name which
suggests the atmosphere she
wants to create," Mr. Sinclair
said. If she wants a lively room
for a bustling family, names
like "sprite green" "colleen" or
"gaiety red" attract her. On,
the other hand, if she is dec-
orating a room for more formal
use, she will lean toward such
designations as "dignity blue,"
"castle grey", "cameo ivory'' or
"court chartreuse".
Names with happy associa-
tions always have appeal, accord-
ing to this color consultant. In

ines, Ontario, toward the wood-
lands where game abounds,
There is nothing strange in this
— Many Canadian women hunt
and shoot for recreation. But
this particular hunter is unusual.
At sportsmen's shows all across
the country she is introduced
as "the woman who knows all
about guns," •
She is June Pinder, propri-
etress of Finder's Sportman's
Centre in St. Catharines,
Miss Pinder literally docs
know everything about guns and
ammunition. She can discuss
the ballistics of a shot -gun shell
or rifle cartridge with authority.
The people of the Niagara pen-
insula have come to know that
if they have a gun problem, the
thing to do is take it to June,
Time was, though, when this
was not the case. The store was
established by June's grand-
father and carried on by her
father. When he died a num-
ber of years ago, June decided
to stay in the business. She
knew, of course, that she might
have an up -hill battle because a
man doesn't usually want to
talk guns, rifles or fishing tackle
with a woman. A woman, it was
reasonable to suppose, could not
possibly know as much about
such matters as a man.
For a while business wasn't
too brisk. But it didn't take the
sportsmen of the district long
to find that she was a woman
who could talk their language
and at the same time add a
little to their knowledge,_
June's knowledge doesn't
come merely . from books, al-
though she is an avid student
and has read widely on outdoor
subjects, She • was brought up
with guns and fishing rods and
finds it difficult to remember a
time when she was not using one

One Song Caused
Twenty Suicides
Font out the songs of Francois
Villon, King of the Vagabonds,
to the "Ballad of Reading Gaol,"
song and ballad have continual-
ly appeared in connection with
law breakers.
Italy has a whole collection
of traditional criminal songs in
praise of prison, and there_is'one,
British ballad on the sam4.4 -
ject which describes
prisons with feeling and ' 'pj'e-
cision. It ends:
"Portland is worst of the lot
' to joke in.
For fetching a lagging there's
no place like Woking!"
But what eerie effect is it
which is exerted by certain
types of music? A Hungarian
.government official wrote a
,piece of music and then shot
himself, 13y some morbid attrac-
tion the composition became
popular and the police attribu-
ted twenty suicides to its influ-
ence,
The tune was banned in IIun-
gary. But some little time later
a man was found hanged In
America with the name of the
tune mentioned on a note in his
pocket. In 1937 a woman was
found dead in London, apparent-
ly her own hand, In the room
was a gramaphone Which had
run down and appeared to have
been playing as she died. On the
'turntable was record of the ill-
omened Hungarian tune.
Several murderers have been
fond of music, Eugene de Vere,
who killed a girl in 1926, was a
competent performer on the ac-
cordion, Thurtell, who murder-
ed Weare at Elstree in. 1823,
came home from the deed and
insisted on a sing -long,
"Brides in the Bath" Smith
insured a woman he had "mar-
ried" and on' the day that she
made her will in his favour he
decreed that she must take a
bath, That evening there was
heard a splashing in the bath-
room followed by a long sigh, A
few minutes later there was the
sound - of the harmonium down-
stairs, Smith ,was playing a
hymn,
He was not the only one who
liked hymns. Peace used to play
them on a one -stringed fiddle
and Robert Butler, whose crimes
shocked Australia and New
Zealand, played hymns on the
prison organ on the day, before
he was executed.
Two other men who took their
love of music to the gallows
were John Stewart, who mur-
dered an Edinburgh merchant
and sang on the scaffold, and
that engaging rogue who- asked
as a last request that at his pass-
ing would play "The Wearing •
of the Green,"

dian National. Railways, in 1854,

Can you believe 1t • , the
time has really come to wish
you, one and all, a happy 1955.
It just seems no sooner do we
get used to one set of figures
for a date -line than we have
to change it again, Maybe 1
have a special affinity for some
figures as I enjoyed writing 1954,
It was a nice, even, adaptable
date, easily divisible by two, but
you take 1955 — nothing will
divide into it until you get to
five. What difference does that
make? Actually, none at all —
except that I like even numbers
better than odd, They look
tidier, if you know what I mean.
However, odd or even, I suppose
most of us will welcome the
New Year. It gives you a sort
of lift, doesn't it? Here is a new
year; twelve whole months,
fifty-two weeks, three hundred
and sixty-five days — and each
day, week and month a new
beginning, Just think what we
can do with all that time! But
then maybe we remember — we
had that same thought last year.
And now the old year has past
we can look back and assess the
value of what we did and how
we spent our time. Are you sat-
isfied with your findings? I am
not — far from it, For that rea-
son I am glad of another new
year . , a new start; another
opportunity to get done the
things I didn't accomplish in '54.
Whether that is possible re-
mains to be seen,
However, I would like to start
the New Year by thanking all
thole who sent cards, letters and
good wishes at Christmas time,
I appreciate all your kind re-
marks. And believe me your
interest and understanding helps
me to keep this column going
week after week, As you know,
I write about anything that has
interested me . during the pre-
ceding week, even though I
relaize that what interests one
person may not interest an-
other, You remember one week
I wrote about my Christmas cac-
tus, That brought forth quite a
few letters as other folk were
also having trouble with plants
blooming too soon; buds drop-
ping off and so on: There is Only
one thing that will hold back
the bloom of a' Christmas cac-
tus and prevent the buds from
dropping off, and that is to keep
the plant in a cool place. The
best luck I ever had with a
Christmas cactus was during the
years when we didn't have a
furnace. It was easy enough
then to find a' cool room! In
fact the cactus eventually got
frozen so badly it never recov-
ered, We got frozen too -- more
or less — but we managed to
go on living. The plant I have
now was given me by a friend
who moved aay and had no
room for the plant in her new
home.
Each year, after the cactus
has bloomed it is a good idea
to encourage a little new growth.
Don't worry if roots come
through the bottom of the pot.
The cactus is one,, plant that
likes to be pot-bound. It is also
a good idea at this time to pot
a few slips for giving away to
• friends.
Another subject often men-
tioned in this column. which I
find is a sure-fire hit with my
:reader -friends is any little item
in connection with the Women's
Institute. I'thinlc about seventy-
five percent of my readers must
be ,W.I. 'members, And you
know how it is — every W.I.
member likes to, know what,
other branches are doing; what
sort of programmes they have;
how they raise money, and what
to do when no one wants to
take office. And then there is
that little problem of when, and
to whom, should life -member-
ships be given. At our last
meeting, being still in the mood
for giving, we iiresented two of
our senior members with a life -
membership pin. They were
both taken completely by sur-
prise, We were all very happy
to see how pleased they were
with our token of appreciation
for tine years of faithful service
they had given our branch,
Really, I am constantly am-
azed at the amount of good work
that is done all over Ontario
by W.I. members. But maybe
you wonder sometimes why I
don't mention Farm Forums,
Agricultural Societies, Feder-
ation of Agriculture and other
farm groups, all of whom do •
good work, That I realize but I
limit my social activities to the
W.I. I find that is all I have
time for and it happens to in-
terest me the most. I often won-
der how people who belong to
so many organizations keep up
the pace, Life must be one con
tinual round of meetings .. .
and lunches! And lunches and
slimming never yet went to-
gether.
Well, friends, there is another
thought in my mind, While the
year is in its infancy how about
Income Tax returns? You know
it really isn't much of a job
when you get down to business.
And with declining farm prices
plenty of farmers will have
very little to pay, The point is
you have to prove it, And the
only way you can prove it to
the satisfaction of the Finance
Department is by filing your re-
turns, The receipt you get is
your protection against future
inquiries. So , , , a word to the
wise — get it done and off your
mind,
And again — Best Wishes for
A Happy New Year.

• And so passes the most amazing year
in all the history of sport, Amazing
because of the shattered records that
dot its trail, Amazing, because the Brit-
ish Empire, long an International door-
mat in sport, arose •in its might to
contribute to the saga of 1954 the most
astonishing of all sports feats.
That was, of course, the double Miracle Mile. In fact,
you might term it the Double Double Miracle, First England's
Roger Bannister crashed through the mental sound barrier
with a 3.50,4 mile, But the ink had scarcely dried on the
records page when along, came -slim John Landy, from the
Empire outpost of Australia, to reduce the mark to 3.58.
And then, the Miracle of Miracles both these great athletes
broke the 4 -minute mark in their unforgettable battle in
the British Empire Games in Vancouver,
These were the feats not merely' of the year, but of
the century. In a year when records fell like clay pigeons,
these two stand- out like beacon lights.
The 5,000 metres mark fell so fast and so often you
could scarcely keep track, First Zatopek the Czech then
the Russian Valdimir Kuc, then England's great red-haired
Chris Chataway, then Kuc again, And there was England's
Fred Green, shattering the 3 -mile mark,
And 1954 was a big year for Canada in sport, Marilyn
Bell amazed the world as she fought icy waters to swim the
40 miles across Lake Ontario, an almost unbelievable feat.
And Tom Parker, a chunky Canadian distance swimmer
from Hamilton, Ont., thrashed across the treacherous Cat-
alina Channel in the record-breaking time of 13 hours, 25
minutes, 41 seconds.
It was Canada's year on our golf courses, too, Both
Canadian Open events were won by Canadians, Pat Fletcher
of Saskatoon became the first native-born Canadian to
win the Men's Open in nearly 50 years, capturing the Sea-
gram Gold Cup and its rich cash awards. On the distaff
side, little Miss Marlene Stewart captured the Canadian
Women's Open.
For Canada, for the British Commonwealth as a whole,
1954 was a fine sports year, indeed.

Royal Bank Assets
Top 53 Billion Mark
The Royal Bank of Canada
closed its fiscal year ending No-
vember 30th with assets of $3,-
020,895,844, the first Canadian
Chartered bank to pass the $3
billion mark. The Annual . Bal-
ance Sheet, just released, shows
Wets have increased by over
$181,000,000 as compared with a
year ago; " Loans and Deposits
are at the highest levels ever
attained by any Candian bank,
A notable feature of this year's --
Statement is a major change in
the capital structure of the bank,
As a result of the issue last July
lit of 700,000 additional shares
K Capital Stock, the paid up
Capital of the bank has increas-
ed from $95,000,000 to $41,809,-
663, From the sale of this addi-
tional stock the bank also real-
ieed a premium of $13,619,726
which, together with $16,000,000
transferred from inner reserves
has been added to the Rest
Fund, In addition the bank has,
for the fifth year in a row, trans-
ferred to the Rest Fund a por-
tion of the current year's net
earnings, the figure -this year
being $4,000,000, As a result of
these transactions the Rest Fund
now stands at $103,619,726.
Capital Funds thus total $146,-
993,664, a figure which sets a
record high level for all Can-
adian banks, When the instal-
ment subscriptions for the'.4new
issue are fully paid, the Capital
and Reserve Funds will stand at
842,000,000 and $104,000,000 re-
spectively, which, with undivi-
ded profits, will make the total
Capital Funds of the bank $147,-
804,075.
Deposits have attained the im-
pressive total of $2,797,548,149,
of which over $1,126,000,000' are
personal savings deposits pay-
able in Canada, Deposits by the
public have increased by nearly
90,000,000,
Loans, exclusive of mortgage
loans under N.H.A., total $1,188,-
022,047, an increase of $43,875,-
823 over the 1953 figure. Call
loans at $156,995,203, show a
moderate increase, while other
1 0 a n s, including commercial
loans in Canada, have increased
by $38,781,094 to $1,031,626,844.
The degree to which the Royal
Bank participated in mortgage
lending under the provisions of'
the N.H.A., is reflected in the
figures shown under the new
heading "Mortgages and Hypo-
thecs insured under the N.H.A.
(1954)", namely $22,672,390.
The liquid position of the bank
is strong, Liquid assets amount-
ing to $1,881,900,848, are equal
to 65.34% of the bank's liability
to the public, Included in these
liquid assets are Dominion and
Provincial Government securi-
ties totalling $969,888,546,
Profit for the year amounted
to $20,913,511, From this amount
$2,079,466 has been set aside
for depreciation of bank prem-
ises and $9,276,000 for income
taxes, After the above deduc-
tions net profit was $9,558,045 as
compared with $8,635,136 in 1953.
Out of net profit,; $5,569,345 was
paid in. dividends tosharehold-
ers, leaving $3,988,700, which
added to the previous balance of
$1,515,375 totals $5,504,075. Of.
this amount $4,000,000 was trans-
ferred to the Rest Fund leaving
a balance of $1,504,075.
NO WONDER
The doctor was puzzled. "You
ought to be better by now," he
said. "Haxe you carried out my
instructions?"
"Well, doctor," said the pa-
tient, "I've done most of them,
but I can't take the two-mile
walk every morning you , ord-
ered. I get too dizzy."
"What do you mean—dizzy?"
"Well," said the patient, "per-
haps I forgot to tell you, but

Overtime Was' For
Referee's Benefit
Soccer fans at Naples, who
have made it necessary for ref-
erees to escape frond the Stadio
Vomero ground disguised as
firemen, and have threatened to
lynch offending radio commen-
tators, grow no milder, Earlier
this year they provoked an ex-
traordinary incident which
eventually resulted in their club
being heavily fined and having
to forfeit two of its points.
The occasion was a home
match , with Genoa, in which
Naples were not • doing well.
Viney, the team's Hungarian
left back, badly fouled an op-
ponent, and was ordered off the
field by the referee. The crowd
immediately became extremely
menacing; and Viney, although
he had sworn at the referee,
was allowed to play on, The
crowd's temper was such that
the referee realized that he
would be lucky to escape with
his life,
He therefore adopted the
stratagem of refraining . from
blowing his whistle when it
came to full time, and allowed
the game to go on. On and on
it went, for some ten minutes,
until at last Naples attacked
and a Genoa defender controlled
the ball quite lawfully in his
own -penalty area. There was no
semblance of a foul—but it was
the chance the referee had been
waiting for. Without hesita-
tion he awarded a penalty, from
which Naples scored, thus "win-
ning" the match, As soon as
the ball was in the net' the ref-
eree blew for full time 1
When Dickens
Visited America
No reception was ever given,
to any foreigner in the United
States quite like that accorded
to Boz. The visit- of Lafayette ,
a few years before (1826) had
been an occasion of greater na-
tional honour. The later visits of
such people as the patriot Kos-
suth called forth larger crowds
and more public tribute. But the
young Dickens was hailed with
a warmth of personal affection
never manifested before or,
since. They welcomed in him'
all the geniality of Mr, : Pick-
wick, all the appeal of little
Oliver and Little Nell, all the
charm of old English Christ-
fas for the people of a newer
England, And Dickens at the
first met it with a boyish and
buoyant delight that matched, his

voice as he entered the old Tre-
mont House. Later on, after
dinner, he was out in the snow-
bound streets, merry, boister-
ous, exuberant, delighted with
everything, Boz was just what
Boz ought to be. No wonder,
they smothered him with adul-
ation,
The country simply went wild
over him, The time of his com-
ing was fortunate, There was
at the moment no particular na-
tional excitement, The tumult
over "nullification" had died
down, and secession had not yet
come up. It was midway be-
tween two presidential elections,
There was no cable to bring
news of foreign wars, and no
foreign war to bring news of.
Under these circumstances the
arrival of young Boz became a
first-class national event.
The proceedings opened with
a rush of reporters to meet the
ship, a sort of procession to the
Tremont ,House, where Dickens
was to stay, and a crowd of
eager faces lined up on the side-
walk to get a look at him. Then
followed calls and invitations
in a flood, Dickens' table at the
hotel was soon piled high with
unopened letters. He had to en-
gage a young man, a Mr, Put-
nam who wrote an account of
it all.' He gives us a picture of
Dickens and his wife break-
fasting .in their sitting room at
the hotel, Boz tearing open let-
ters, dictating, eating, and talk-
ing all at the same time, , and
'a local sculptor of note (a Mr.
Alexander) making a bust of
him at the side of the room and
occasionally walking around to
get a "close-up" look at him.
There were dinners and recep-
tions in all directions. Boz was
introduced to the leading liter-
ary people of Boston and of
Harvard: He was taken out to
Springfield to see the Massa-
chusetts Legislature, where, we
are told by the press, "his ap-
pearance in the Senate cham-
ber created quite a stir among
the members,"—From "Charles
Dickens His Life and Work," by
Stephen (Leacock..•
he" Nearly Caught
A Falling Star
When' John Dunne wrote "Go
,and catch a . falling star" he
thought he was creating an im-,
age of impossibility, But a Mrs,
Hulett . Hodges of Sylacauga,
Ala,„who perhaps doesn't read
John Donne (few people do,
these days), very nearly caught
a falling . star. Rather, it very
nearly caught her. She was
struck on the hip and hand by a
meteorite that ripped through
the roof of her home while she
, was taking a nap. It was only, a
nine -pound meteorite, an -astral
fragment which the skies will
never miss. But to Mrs, Hod-
ges, it is her meteorite, her per-
sonal evidence that stars once
really fell on Alabama,
Now they want to take it
away from her, "They" means
the Air °Force and the State
Museum of Natural History, The
Air Force has taken possession
of the meteorite and says it will
be sent to Washington for scien-
tific research, The museum, lo-
cated in Tuscaloosa, says it
wants the . meteorite for display
purposes. Mrs. Hodges says she
wants the meteorite as a sou-
venir to talk about . when , folks
drop in,
' Science, of course, must be
served, and perhaps some kind
of a compromise can be worked
out whereby the Air Force can
conduct its experiments and're-
turn the meteorite forthwith to
Mrs. Hodges, .. In her turn,- she .
might be willing to lend it to
the museum occasionally, say on
alternate Sundays. But it might
,well be made • the law of the
land: any meteorite falling on
any person shall belong to said
person, Let others go and;
catch their own falling stars,•

"Upslde•Down"
Tree That
Never Dies
Africa's toughest tree, the
baobab, survives fire, storm,
girdling (stripping off all the
bark) and all kinds of i11 -treat-
ment, It is sometimes called
the "cream of tartar" tree be-
cause the acid in the fruit pulp
is tartaric acid.
Its roots go deep but its bran-
ches are short and stubby and
for most of the year are bare of
leaves, It rarely grows higher
than sixty feet—which is low
compared with the girth of its
trunk. When the tree is found
in dry inland regions the
branches look so much like
roots that local native legend
says "an angry devil planted
the baobab upside down."
Though the baobab takes
many centuries to achieve its
full size (a trunk with a diam-
eter of thirty feet is quite nor-
mal), its timber, unlike most
trees that mature slowly, is soft
and pulpy and quite useless, Its
leaves are not unlike those of
the horse -chestnut.
Africans have found that its
fibrous bark makes excellent
ropes and even tough fabrics.
The fruit, known as monkey
bread or sour gourd, has a vari-
ety of uses. The seeds and the
acid -tasting pulp make a gruel
which natives quite enjoy. The
pulp juices are invaluable as
medicine to combat various
swamp fevers, while witch -doc-
tors use them as cure-alls. The
natives have found, also, that
when cooked the leaves have a
spinach'like flavour, They feed
them to their cattle when other
crops are in short supply.
The baobab is a tree which
refuses to die. Natives, seeking
its bark to make ropes, fre-
quently girdle the tree, strip-
ping the bark off completely u
high as they can reach, This
would kill any normal tree, but
the baobab is unperturbed. It
simply grows another bark
round its 100 feet of girth—
and meanwhile goes on growing.
Frequently natives carve gi-
gantic caverns inside the trunk,
leaving only a foot -thick outer
"skin," and then use this cave
as a dwelling, or to store things.
Sometimes they fill the cave
with water and use it as a res-
ervoir in dry periods.
Even forest fires, which have
swept other trees of apparently
sterner stuff into dusty ash, fall
to destroy the baobab. Stunted,
blackened, it soon puts forth
new branches which in time
are again covered (in season)
with leaves.
It can, of course, be cut down.
But it is a tough task, Famous
David Livingstone saw this for
himself, when he ordered one
to be chopped down. At last
it fell. But not to die. Months
later he noted with amazement
that the "dead tree" had grown
another inch since it had been
felled to the ground!
TOPPED HIM
Two boys were arguing about
the strength and all-round abil-
ity of their respective fathers.
"Yotl know the P a c i f i c
Ocean?" said one. "Well, my
father dug the hole for it."
His pal paused for a moment,
then said: "Have you ever heard
of the Dead Sea? Well, my
dad killed it."
