A, W. Watson, as he addressed the group at their regular meeting last Thursday evening, Mr. Watson was introduced by Lion President Cecil Wheeler, and having come here directly from Redvers, Sask,, he spoke with sincerity and authority on the many beauties of the province, the aggressiveness of its people, the traditions and history that lay behind the now 50 -year-old province, and the t:E`eat future he believed that lay in- evitably ahead for that part of the Do- minion. He spoke of their -hospital sys- tem, which la government -instituted and of their socialized medicine plan and while he didn't necessarily agree with it, still it is a wonderful system and working well. He spoke of their many beautiful. parks, of their rich deposits of oil. He called it the hunt- er's paradise where wild life of many species abound, He spoke of the friendliness of the people of which he had an opportunity to learn of first- hand "If you ever want to take a trip, go and sec God's country -go and see Saskatchewan," concluded Mr. Wat- son, A vote of thanks was tendered the speaker by Lion Donald • McKenzie, and was heartily endorsed by those pres- ent.

Questions were answered as follows; (1) The difference in the ways -of bringing up a farm family in the last 25 years Fare caused by cars and trac- tors, television, transportation of rural pupjls by bus to town schools, more amusement outside the home, and more spending money; Town rinks replac- ing the old ponds, more children at- tending secondary schools, children having more advantages, with school nurses and music instructors; 'teen g- ers going farther from home for amuse- ment, many are receiving training In 4-H'clubs, Junior Institutes and Junior Farmers Organizations, (2) The problems facing parents to- day are much the same as formerly, and we believe rural parents have the advantage over the city or towns, Children must be taught co-operation as the value of farm unit by having some tasks • for which they do . not re- ceive pay. They have learned the value of money by being paid for extra work, proficiency in their school work or some added responsibility, They must also be taught to wisely spend this money they earn, The farm is an excellent place to teach kindness to animals and the proper care of pets, T he home, school, Sunday School and church combined in teaching the love of God, proper morals, value of time, honesty, and other virtues. Television and, the many school activities greatly interfere with homework, Parents must teach the proper use 6f time, In many communities there are so many clubs and organizations; young people have few evenings to spend at home in the family circle; Just how often should Junior have Dad's car? This is a real problem in many families, Children must early be trained . to realize that the family income limits the spending on clothing and amuse- ment which come out of the home, but must realize pleasure and happiness can be enjoyed at home, or at a neigh- bour's home., - (3) Some cmmunities should provide amusement for young people, We think there. is no lack here, The parents should always, strive for a friendly, sympathetic tundcrstanding in the fam- ily unit, Prizes were won as follows: •Ladies' lone hands, and most games; Mrs. Harvey 'Taylor; Men's lone hands and most games; Douglas Riley; Con. solation: Mrs, George Carter, Oliver Anderson. n , Mrs, Harvey : Taylor invited the group to her home for the next meet- ing, .

America's newest indoor sport on Saturday evenings is trying to guess why George Gobel makes so many different kinds of people laugh. Now the Syl- vania award committee has ad- ded urgency to the mystery by dubbing him the year's best TV comedian. NBC's master of glum tom- foolery has been trying to figure it •out himself. He hasn't been trying very hard, because when you cdme right down to it, he'd rather have people stay confused about the whole thing. But he's an even - tempered, obliging fellow, this man from , Chicago, and he has been hold- ing more or less monosyllabic conversations with scores of writers and columnists, Most of the interviewers have asked him, straight out,. why he thinks he's so funny. And then they ask that other question: "How does it feel to be suddenly famous?" "Well, it's kind of tough," he'll say, and then lapse into silence, Or he may brighten up and add, "It's nice to be working steady." As he closes his half-hour "nonforrnat" program, he is like- ly to remark, with a placid air, 'This is Lonesome George,'' and then go into his closing line, Why, you may ask, does he choose to be known as Lone- some George? "Because it's incongruous" he will reply flatly, looking up at you with that guileless stare which isn't totally expression- less but is certainly a long way from being revealing. "You see," he shrugs almost noticeably, "in the hillbilly game, especially when you play a guitar, you have to have some kind of a tagto sign off with. Nobody just says his name right out and then goes away — that'd be too simple. You have to be Cowboy Jack or Red Sam or something. So one night I happened to say I was Lonesome George. And soembody laughed. So there I was — stuck with it" Comedy, for George Gobel is like that — a process of discov- ery, He was surprised when of- ficers' club audiences in Fred- rick, Okla. (where he spent most of the war glumly instruct- ing B-26 pilots), laughed and laughed at his simplest stories. He was glad to find, after the war, that he could make "a lot more money in a lot less hours" if he gave up the idea of pilot- ing civilian airplanes and nego- tiated instead the barrel rolls' and tail spins of the night club circuit: "I'm a pretty lazy guy, you know." He was solidly pleased when his TV guest appearances and his summer work on NBC's "Saturday Night Revue" were to be followed by a weekly show this fall, He sighed with relief when George Rosenberg brought him a veteran radio and screen' writer, Hal Kanter, to head the writer's staff. "Everything seemed to be just right about this man," he nods solemnly. "I have lots of con- fidence in him now, and in the others, Jack Douglas, James Al- lardice and Harry Winkler, No, 1 don't contribute very much in the weekly script conference, It just goes along fine,. The things I do. suggest usually come out all different anyhow. "For a while, there, I thought maybe they were gettin' a lit- tle highfalutin, That time a few weeks ago, for instance, when we were supposed to run head- on into a page in the script where it said, 'We've gone out to lunch — signed, your writ- ers, the Bronte sisters,'" At this point Mr. Gobel was supposed to exclaim, with as deeply pained a look as he could must e r: "That's CharIotte's work! Emily would never have done that!" This literary allusion got such a howl from the studio audience that he surrendered forthwith to any and all — well, almost all — literary or historical non - sequiturs, " We try to keep peo- ple as confused as possible," he adds hopefully, So there (as he says) you are: confusion, incongruity and sur- prise — actual or verbal, A com- bination, if you will, of common, down-to-earth grumbling with unexpected take -offs intu the wild blue yonder — a kind of high-flown simplicity which looks, as really difficult trapeze stunts often do, ridiculously easy. These,plus a relaxed Mid- western twang in the voice, an almost -frozen face which only rarely breaks into a smile, and' an over-all innocent air of amazement — these are what Americans have been discover- ing, writes Richard Dyer Mc- Cann, Staff Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor. Have Americans also been discovering themselves? Mr, Kanter, for his part, is willing to think so. He is will- ing to pry a little deeper into the reasons why the technique brings laughs. He hazards the guess that this new comedy star represents' simply "a middle- class man who is aware of the upper classes but is perfectly content to be middle-class," If the man's appeal is a broad as this implies, then it may be only a matter of time before Gobel goes global, Neither the middleclass itself nor its liking for drawling_ cowboy humor has ever been restricted to the con- tinental limits of the United States. Certainly the Gobel appeal is not merely a .result of his lowly 5 -foot, 5 -inch stature. Nor does it come from the fact that he sometimes wanders off leaving sentences hanging in mid air. His drawl reminds us of Will Rogers, His •verbal facility is worthy of Robert Benchley. But he is above all, in the manner of Charlie Chaplin, a little man who is often at a loss but never quite defeated. He must cope with a spouse of bewildering moods (she is even played by a different act- ress every week), a car that "just sits there and sulks," a "silent butler's that squeaks, and many other trials and tribula- tions familiar to the average American, and about which he can roar with laughter when they happen to some one else, But he never allows himself to be cowed by it all. He demon- strates his superiority :to his own inferiority by a mild toss of the head and a devastating joke, calmly spoken, at the expense of anybody who happens to be around, including himself. Admittedly .a man who is "al- ways an hour late or a dollar short," he is full of the vague anxieties of our time, but he doesn't see any special need to SIGHT UNSEEN—Sketching Jacqueline Francois while he is blind• folded is no task for French artist Denis Olivier.

Barney Wanie of the Wisconsin Con- servation Department • thinks that trout may also be a factor in holding down the water snake population, In examining a nine inch brook trout taken from the Mecan River in Wis- consin, •Wanie found 11 small water snakes in its stomach!

How a minister and his wife turned their retirement 1 into profit for themselves and their community is the tale told by Ralph E, Rolens In an article titled "The Story of 05,000 Cakes" appearing in a recent issue of The Farm Journal (Philadelphia). * * It all started during the de- pression year of 1935, when my doctor advised me to quit the ministry and get back to the country, So my wife and I made a down payment on a 6 -acre ranch in Lane County, Oregon, and put all our spare money in- to renovating the old house. When we moved in, our assets totaled $25 In cash, 500 baby chicks, and a pure-bred Jersey cow and calf. It was soon evi- dent that we'd have to support the chickens and cow; .there weren't enough of them to sup- port us. So, one morning, Mrs. Rolens announced that she was going to bake cakes and sell them at the Producers' Market in nearby Eugene. She's always been a top-notch cake baker, By Christ- mas time of the same year, she was so busy that I quit the sales job I'd taken on, to help her. Our first two years were real- ly rugged, We were at it, from early morning until late at night, making cakes and pies, and delicatessen items. But the cake business outgrew the rest; and by 1942 we were turning out just cakes — average, 4,000 a year, Last count shows that, so far, we've totaled 65,000 cakes — 8 miles of them, end to end: or a pile 4 miles high! • Some of our best sellers are our Butter Sponge, Devil's Food, and Applesauce cake — you'll find the recipes here, We keep the quality high by using only the best ingredients. Our cake business has given us a good living, let us save to- ward our retirement, and has made it possible for us to con- • tribute regularly toward the new chapel and Sunday School in our community. That's where our tithes and offerings go. Mrs. Rolens and. I feel that the money and time we've given to the Sunday • School is among the best investments we ever made, Since we moved here, we've expanded our orginal 5 acres to 20. We rent out all but one acre, our garden. When Farm Jour- nal asked us about our cake business, I was glad to put our story on paper, in hopes that it would show others that "retire- ment" can bring profits, new in- terests, and very real satisfac- tion. * * * • APPLESAUCE CAKE % c. shortening 1 c. sugar 1 egg 1 tblsp, vanilla 1 tsp. soda 1 c. applesauce 2 c. sifted cake flour 3/s tsp. cloves 34 tsp. allspice % tsp. nutmeg 1 tsp. cinnamon . % tsp. salt Cream shortening thoroughly.

For example, control of missile No. 1, shown in the drawing, would be lost because its size, shape and speed create a cavity so large that fin and rubber surfaces do not touch the water; Missile No. 2 creates a smaller cavity, .the steering surfaces engage the water, and • amore accurate course to the target is insured.• TIIffARM FRONT Jokul2u.ssell Writing in The American Farm Youth the noted consult- ant on. Food and Nutrition, Francis Joseph Weiss, Pit,D has an article entitled, "The Farmer and the Fisherman" which 1 found so interesting that 1 am passing It along to my readers. I'n1 sure you'll find It well worth reading from start to finish, • * * For billions of years water has been leaching out the soil carrying mineral matter into the sea, . To be sure, this has been a one-way voyage as far as mineral salts are concerned; for while the water evaporated and was carried back to the land to continue the age old cycle of erosion and precipitation, - the min er a 1 s remained in the oceans; thus while the land be- came poorer and poorer in min- eral matter, the oceans got rich- er in the same measure. We all know how important minerals are for the growth of plants and the development •of animals, including man; but it was only very recently that the vital function of formerly ne- glected mineral elements, also called "trace elements," such as iron, copper, cobalt, iodine, man- ganese, zinc, and molybdenum, has been ascertained and it ap- pears now pretty sure that heal- thy growth and reproduction requires the presence not only of adequate amounts of potash, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, and nitrogen, but also of all aforementioned trace elements, although only in minute a- mounts, It. might well be that of the about hundred existing elements still more are needed, although in traces that elude even the finest analytical meth- ods, The•more intensive the land is utilized for growing plants and raising animals, the greater is the depletion of its mineral con- tent and even the adequate use of fertilizers is no assurance that all needed trace elements are restored to the soil, The only sure way to bring them back where they came from would be to collect them from those organisms that now enjoy the benefit of abundant mineral supply in their profuse growth and fertility and in addition have the extraordinary capacity• to accumulate mineral matter in their bodies far beyond the con- centration of their surrounding medium—namely aquatic plants and animals. But long before the mainten- ance of a proper mineral bal- ance of the soil has become so essential for the welfare of the world's rapidly increasing popu- lation, man discovered instinc- tively rather than by scientific reasoning the advantages of us- ing the aquatic fauna and flora for direct consumption or for improving the soil or fodder of domestic animals. Actually fish- ing and consumption of water plants preceded by millions of years hunting and. the domesti- cation of wild plants and ani- mals and many prehistoric finds Of fishing hooks and flshing spears indicate that we need not not think of ancient mail as a vagrant endlessly drifting "a- bout, moreover as a skilled fisherman who lived happily on the shores of rivers and lakes and at'the• ocean beaches where food was abundant, His meat came from fish and shellfish and as 'vegetables he used aqua- , tic plants such as are growing in lakes or cast at 'the ocean shore by'the high 'tide, Nutri- tionally it is an excellent .diet. rich ,in proteins, minerals,, and vitamins, especially the growth promoting factors; it was also a fairly reliable and easily ob- CROSSWORD PUZZLE Let Family Discover This Treasure of a Dessert Cake BY DOROTHY MADDOX Here's a recipe for a really beautiful white cake which is a "treasure" of a treat for your family, or to give as a gift, For this feathery, moist cake use butter, and be sure to use cake flour, I'Iere's a tip for egg whites, have them at room temp- erature for quicker whipping and greater volume, You'll want to save the yolks for a custard, gold cake, or possibly for salad dressing.

It is, therefore, po wonder that all great civilizations sprang up in the river valleys and at the sea- shore starting with the domesti- cation of wild plants and ani- mals. However, man by his very nature is more a land ani- mal and so we must not wonder that in spite of well stocked lakes and rivers and tremendous food resources in the ocean he rather risked the hazards of agriculture, hall and storm, drought ,and inundation, insect pests and predatory animals, than the dangers of the open sea or the turbulent rivers. Con. sequently, while he became ever more proficient as a farmer and husbandman, fishing had been until very recently at about the same stage as it was when land was cultivated by the hoe. While about 71 per cent of the surface. area of the globe is covered with water, only about 2 per cent of our food is of aquatic origin and, while the growth of plants in the ocean is estimated at about ten times the magnitude of all wild and cultivated plants growing on land, the consumption of water plants, especially sea w e e d s, though widespread, is practi- cally negligible. Now it would be foolish to try to change the essential nature of man or his ingrained food hab- its; for we must not forget that eating is • not only a means of survival but also a way of en- joyment of life. But what we. ought to do is to make the food ever better tasting and ever more nutritious simply by re- storing the lost nutrients to the soil and feeding farm animals cells of the aquatic plants and animals, (To be concluded next week) World's Greatest Starvation Threat During the 1914 war an army chaplain was riding across the Mespotamian desert with his," 'batman.

Luggage compartment pro- vided an ideal place from which to keep tabs on the towing hitch. area along the western edge of the Great Plains in the United States. Because of the publicity it received and the effect of dust storms on world bread prices, people were scared, Once again, dust storms such as you could never imagine in the U.S.A. are threatening ruin to almost a million homes in America, Powerful winds whip up thousands of tons of fertile topsoil; and after the storm is over, they settle as use- less particles of dust, Childre: can't go to school in parts of Kansas • because they get lost in storms and die.

She was lost in a dust storm and died, A man driving a twelve -cyl- inder car from the eastern sea- board, who had never seen a dust storm, ran into one in nor- thern Texas. Suddenly his car came to a stop and refused to star'.. The owner locked the door and windows and lay down, covering himself with a rug. When the storm subsided he was found nearly suffocated un- der a mound of dust, His car was towed to a garage where they found the air filter packed solid with dust, which had also been drawn into the upper por- tions of the cylinders. The abrasive power of the dust had scoured the paint from the sidesi even down to the glistening steel! In one car park in Kansas dust packed the ignition system of cars, so that none could be started, and it piled so high on the rail track that all train ser- vices on one section of the Sante Fe railway had to be cancelled, The wind that accompanies dusters is , so violent that it forces dust through the tiniest crevices. In Oklahoma it was Once.. so fierce that it produced static electricity .in all metal fittings, and people who touched them reeled back .with their hair on end, Telephones, telegraph, . and even radio stations were put .out. of action, • . A' contractor in Missouri had the job of moving 100,000 cubic feet of earth. A duster struck his town that evening, and when men arrived to carry out the job next morning, they found that not only had the storm done their work for them, but it had curved a hole where the mound had previously stood. Apart from the , danger of these storms to life and limb, • no one knows where the soil erosion will stop, At the height of the Dust Bowl scare powerful gal es whipped 300,000,000 tons of top- soil two miles into the air and a cloud 1,600 miles long and 1,000 miles wide traversed thecoun- try and was dumped into the Atlantic, This mass of fertile earth would have covered Great Britain as well as Ireland, Already 156,000 once -fertile square miles in the United States have been transformed•into des- ert; 219,000 square miles have lost three-quarters of their fer- tility; and 1,400,000 ,square miles have last from one-quarter to • two-thirds. The fertile topsoil almost ev- erywhere in the world was never more than two feet deep. According to geologists it takes from 400-600 years to create just one inch of it. . Once that topsoil is exhausted, death in the form of starvation faces the human race, In Australia the first cause of erosion has been over -grazing and rabbits, The soil becomes light and dry, a ready customer for life -destroying dust storms. One station that grazed 100,- 000 sheep before the war can • now feed only 30,000. In 1936 the Report to the Royal Society of South Australia stated that 1,000 square miles of good pas- toral soil in the state had been turned into desert in a few years, In China and Italy deforesta- tion (cutting down of trees without replanting) has achieved the same result. Once -great cities in China lie burled in sand. The Sahara Desert was a fertile area centuries ago but it now supports little life ex- cept its a few oases, What is more, it is advancing, oma front of 2,000 miles and threatens the rich country of Uganda, In Australia a duststorm' not long ago packed the fleeces of sheep so thickly with fine earth that it could not be shaken free. A heavy rainstorm followed, which turned the caked dust in- to clay. The weight of this forced the sheep to lie down; 10 they were unable to rise, and died of starvation. Bagdad had what is thought to be the worst dust storm ever experienced. It was ten times worse than any American dust. er, shedding 2,300 tons of dust over every square mile. Man has carelessly contribu- ted deliberately to thki form of suicide ever since the world was young by over -cultivating the soil, either through ignorance or greed. Countries affected are not only those mentioned, but Canada, India, Russia, the Dutch East Indies, British West Indies, and even a large area in Moray- shire, In the U.S.A. the tragedy has been widely publicized. Their scientists say that if erosion con- tinues at the present rate in fifteen years only one quarter of the fertile soil will remain. The fertile layer in every country is held together by grasses and the roots of trees, Grasses and roots form a thick carpet that absorbs moisture and retains it in a natural reservoir when rain is scarce, If this ab- sorbent carpet is destroyed by cutting down trees and hedges and digging up grasslands indis- criminately in order to plant wheat and Icorn, there is nothing to bind the rich topsoil. Rain eats it away and wind lifts the brittle surface, The problem of erosion is more urgent than that of the hydro- gen bomb, Millions of acres of grassland must be planted, and many miles of trees in the form of windbreaks must be cultivated. And then only if man is ever - watchful " will the desert be pushed back, inch by inch. Bee -Sting Cure In the last three months Mr. McManus, of Argyle St., Glas- gow, has had more than 200 bee stings on her shoulders, arms, wrists, fingers, ankles and knees in a desperate attempt to cure her rheumatoid arthritis. Her legs, arms and hands were all affected. She could not get out of the house. Then she read of a Devon woman who had got relief from arthritis by submit- ting to bee stings. A local bee -keeper offered Mrs. McManus his bees. The pain was at times almost un- bearable, but gradually she be- gan to feel the benefit. Now the pain and stiffness have left her si welders, and the swellings on her hands and fingers have dis- appeared. Her arms and fingers are all flexible. Mrs. McManus says }1MYSCIIOOL. LESSON Rev. R. 13. Warren, B.A., B.D. The Power of the Holy Spirit John 16:7.11; Acts 2:1.4; 4:8-1E Memory Selection: Ye shall receive power, atter that the Holy Ghost Is come upon you. Act 1:18. The disciples were lonely when Jesus spoke of his im- pending departure, However, He gave them a great promise. He would send the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. On the day the Pentecost that promise was ful- filled, The Holy Spirit came up- on the 120 disciples in the upper room, purifying their hearts by faith, (Acts 15:8,9.) and enduing them with power, Under their preaching thousands were con- verted to Christ and the church grew rapidly. The Holy Spirit is not an in- fluence of God but a person of the deity co -equal with the Fa- ther and the Son, The Spirit Is the executive of the Godhead. He has not a body as Jesus had, but He dwells in the believing hearts of thosewhose lives are fully dedicated to Him. As he has control of people's lives, Hs works through them on the hearts of others, He reproves the world of sin, of righteous- ness and of judgment. If more people would make this com- plete consecration to God, we would have a much better world. Billy Graham attributes his phenomenal success in win- ning men to Christ to the power of the Holy Spirit given in an- swer to prayer. How different the apostles were after they had received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Peter who had denied his Lord when questioned by a little girl now faced the rulers of the people, and elders of Israel boldly, Hear him say, "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Is- rael, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from ,the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole," Brilliant talent or clever .pro- grams are not sufficient to win souls for Jesus Christ, We need God, the Holy Spirit, Much of the church senses this need to- day, What will we do about it? May we acknowledge our need and earnestly pray until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high. she feels ten years younger. She can work away now with free- dom of movement. Her knees and ankles are still swollen, but they are much more flexible than they were a few months ago, But she warns other sufferers not to experiment unless they have their doctor's permission, Bee stings can be dangerous, and on some people with arth- ritis they have no beneficial - effect, The common toad eats about 10,000 garden pests a year.

Now he is going into the army, and is asking her to wait for him. Her father and I like him well enough, but we don't approve of this idea at all, "We feel she is too young to know her own mind, for one thing. When we speak to the lad of this, he seems to agree -- but he tells her a different story, Her feeling is that she doesn't want him to leave "heart- broken." "Also, he is extremely jealous; she doesn't dare mention any other boy she knows, He insists now that she. sees only girl friends during his absence, and he said if she dated anybody else, he'd feel sorry for himl (She loves to dance, and if she consents to his demands of course that is out.) "We know his family; they are fine people, and are delighted he is dating our girl. What is your advice?

If she still prefers him * to all other boys she has dated * in his absence, it would be a * real test of her love, * However, the boy is not ten * years older, and it is not likely * you and your husband can * persuade him to relax his ul• * timaturn, (I especially deplore * his threat to any rival), You * must work on your daughter; * draw a true picture o! her * coming loneliness and Inn. * tivity, and try to make her * realize its meaning, Three to mix!

As for Christmas cake we don't even want to look at it—at least for the present. But it was a wond- erful Christmas . . . beautiful weather, even if it wasn't a White Christmas. The, family were all here, plus two extras, and we had a very enjoyable time, Just to add to the occas- ion Dee and Art brought their television set along with them.' Of course we haven't an aerial but we managed to bring in some of the programmes sur- prisingly well—especially that rip-roaring hockey game be- tween the Leafs and the Red- wings Christmas night. The inclusion of the television for the holiday was quite a sur- prise and was brought along partly to settle an argument. Dee and Art are very anxious that we. should get a set our- selvea but Partner and I have always claimed. wehave no de- sire for one at all,' We . are in- variably' told . , . "If you had. one you wetild like it," So they brought their set: along just to convince us , .. and partly suc- ceeded . , , for we did enjoy the hockey. Perhaps' we would have liked some of the others equally well, had we been able to get them more clearly, At any rate_ our ideas regarding television have been modified to a great extent, But one problem re- mains unsolved . , . how would we ever find time to watch tele vision supposing we did have a set? There was just one thing. wrong with our Christmas— Dave wasn't too , well, He was completely off his feed—a hang- over from a recent attack of stomach flu. At one time Dee even wondered whether he would be well enough for them to come at all, Christmas with- out Dave , , , wouldn't that have been a disappointment? I would hate to have missed his - ex- pression of delight as he looked at the Christmas tree with its glittering lights. He has one word he uses a lot to let us know when something really interests him. "Seel Seel" he repeats over and over again. So now Christmas is over .. and perhaps one of the facts we appreciate most is that it won't be here again for an- other twelve months!

Before Christmas there is al- ways a nagging fear at the back of one's mind , , , what will the weather be like . , . snow, sleet or clear cold sunshine? Will driving conditions be good or hazardous? Actually no one really worries as to whether it is a white or a green Christmas —just so long as it is a safe one. '0n the other hand the Christ- mas season brings aolng so many delightful surprises! For in- stance Partner got a letter from a very close relative living in Australia. We had not heard from him for over twenty years. The letter was answered Immed- iately. And just imagine—that letter was mailed in Brisbane on the 16th of December and ar- rived here on the 22nd! Dis- tance is relatively unimportant • in this modern world. For me there came another letter from a well -loved cousin in England—the first arrived sometime last year after a si- lence of at least twenty-five years, And from a nephew in England, whom I have never even seen, came a letter and snapshots of his wife and two little girls. Desmond is the only surviving male descendant of a ' branch of the Fite -Gerald fam- ily of which my sister and I are a part, And I might add we are very particular about how that name is spelt, There are Fitz- geralds and FitzGeralds, but we are of the clan Fitz -Gerald with a hyphen, and we feel that ev- ery person who spells his name that way is in some way a dis- tant connection, Also in our mailbag were quite a number of cards and letters from readers of this column, which were much appreciated and for which we thank you most sincerely, From some of these good friends we hear reg- ularly, year after year, as sur- ely us Christmas rolls around, It wouldn't seem like Christmas without good wishes from Mr, and Mrs, 13 . , , and from Mrs. L , , , In addition, there are cards and nice little notes from new friends that are equally op- preciated, David got plenty of hugs "Glencoe" but it wasn't any trouble to give him an extra one for you—as requested, Our Davey is a lucky baby to have so many kind friends interested in his welfare, Once again many thanks and very best wishes for the New Year from Partner and myself, Origin Of Forks It is not known, exactly, when people first began to eat food with a fork. Of course, even the stone -age people had knives, and the first spoon probably was a clam shell fastened to a st1ck. In addition to knives, the ancl- . ent Egyptians, . Greeks and Ro- mans had wooden, silver and bronze spoons with which they ate, but no table forks, Undoubtedly, the first fork was developed from the three - pronged fishing spear, and was very crude. The first known forks had two prongs or tines and were used in . cooking, and probably for holding meat as it was carved. Noble and wealthy Venetians of the eleventh cen- turyused forks for this purpose, and King Charles V of France had a few for his own use in the fourteenth century, Prob- ably forks with which to eat food did not become known in Great Britain until the seven- teenth century, MISGUIDED MItSSILE Annoyed beyond endurance by the attentions of a. fly, George ]gltgroth, of Syracuse, grabbed the nearest thing to hand—a towel—and with a terrific swipe swatted the insect to extinction.

Some young trees bend so far toward the light that they top- ple over, pulled down by their heavy masses of leaves, One of the most important ways in which plants react to light to called photosynthesis, the pro- cess by which green leaves man. ufacture the plant's food, Air, water and the plant's green col. oring matter (chlorophyl) share !n this wonderful process, but . only in the presence of light, There are a great many things that make plants react and they react in many different ways, Some plants, called "sensitly} plants," will react if you touch or pinch them, They will fold' up their feathery leaves and even draw their leaf stalks close to their stems as if to get away from you as far as possible. The tendrils that help to support many vines react to the touch of a solid object such as a twig, strings, wire or even another tendril, The young tendril weav- es about in the air, seeking for something to cling to. Then it curves around the object, even when that hapens to be a part of its own vine. The'roots of plants react in a most sensitive manner. Their great search is for moisture. As , their delicate rootlets and root hairs explore the soil they may encounter a rock or a pebble. Deftly, then, they turn aside, sometimes traveling great dis- tances to find the water that the plant must have or perish.

Rollins is remarkable because, with a tail -end team, he was last Spring voted winner of the Hart Trophy, most coveted award in the major league, designating as it does the player most useful to his club, In the 31 -year history of the ' trophy, this happened only once before, As the Hawks finished last in the race, the voters possibly assumed that without Rollins, they might have fallen right out of the League. It's possible. When Rollins won the trophy, one cynical observer re- marked that he deserved some sort of award for escaping with his life. Rollins played in 08 of his cub's 70 games last season, He was Scored on 213 times, or at the average of • 3.1 goals per game, But two others called in to replace Rol- lins when he was i11 had 29 goals rolled up against them in four games, over 7 per game, indicating by comparison what a superb job Rollins was doing. The remark about escaping with 'Ills life is not entirely in jest. The 213 goals scored on Rollins is a lot of goals, but what of the shots he stopped? .It would be most con- servative to say that; in the course of tile season, he was bombarded- by not less than 2,000 shots from the sticks of hockey's greatest snipers. Besides being a great goaler, Rollins is something of a philosopher After winning the trophy, he told a sports writer: "When you're with a team like Chicago, every game is a tough one. But maybe it's a good thing. When you've got all that work, you keep warm and loose. Some goalies get beat on the easy shots because they're cold and all tightened up. Maybe a fellow can look better with a weak club than with a strong one. If he's any good at all, he stands out," So Rollins stood out, like a lighthouse. He became the first goalie to win since New York's Chuck Rayner in 1950, and the first winner from a last -place club since defense - man Tommy (Cowboy) Anderson, a forward, of the 1942 New York Americans.

Looks At Cloud Cloud Dissolves Dr, Ralph Alexander, a New Zealand physician • and author, has scores of district residents puzzled because of demonstra- tions of what he calls "construc- tive realism," This consists of concentrating hard on a cloud in the sky, The cloud dissolves, while others around it retain their shapes, More than 100 eye -witnesses swear Dr, Alexander has per- formed this feat several times, He selects a fairly small cloud and, after a few minutes of intense conecentration, the cloud is said to, appear, On one occasion a cloud was selected by a newspaperman, and Dr. Alexander began to conecentrate. Two minutes later the cloud showed unmistakable sigfls, thinning and breaking up. Six minutes after that Dr, Alexander shook his head and relaxed. Of . the cloud nothing remained 'except' a couple of tiny dots of vapour, 'Dr, Alexander says the human brain "has power ever inani- mate matter;" and.he has staged the -demonstrations, in the hope of forcing scientists to recog- nize and study the "strange force" he, claims to possess, "I havspent many years of 'study in 'developing .this' force, which in its essence is a form of the same power being investi- "gated at Duke University, U.S.A, under the name "extra -sensory. perception," he says, This pow- er, he maintains, lies latent in every human mind.

One morning in 1905 a French comedian named Max Linder received a terse note from one of the pioneer film producers: "Sir,—I have observed you. In your eyes lies a fortune, Come and actin front of my cameras, and I will help -you to make it, —Charles Pathe," The thousands of comedies the film industry has produced since then all owe something to that letter. According to the author of a new book ("Comedy Films," by John Montgomery), it was Linder who established the fun- ny man of films as an artiste, who dragged comedies out of the class of films ,like "What Little Willie Did," and "Oh, That Terrible Odour!" At that time, of course, the film was silent, so that the com- ic had to rely on his antics in- stead of his script, Before Lin- der, the success of a comedian was gauged by the number of custard pies he had thrown in his face, or the length of time,. he was chased by a horde of • overfed policemen. It was with the most famous slapstick company of all time, the Keystone Cops, that the great Charlie Chaplin received his training, Mack Sennett, the founder, used to advertise; "Wanted. Players of India Rub- ber! Apply to the Keystone Company," And his private po- lice force certainly had to earn its wages. One of them recalls: "Five days in the week we had to ride in the patrol wagon. On the sixth day, which was pay day, we all fell into the lake. . Or sometimes, just for a change, we fell in the ocean— just off the pier. It was better to 'fall in than, to be kicked in. Charlie Chaplin has kicked me into every lake in Los Angeles. Those were the gobd old days. No actor was too great to kick another actor ..." Good old days they were. The days of Ben Turpin, whose cross eyes proved so valuable to him that he insured them for $40,- 000 against going straight, The days of Mabel Normand, who made enough to spend $80,000 a year on clothes alone;"' and a Fatty Arbuckle, . one - time plumber's mate, whose sixteen - stone frame was known' all over the world, But Chaplin had no heart for the slapstick of the Keystone company. Inspired by Max Lin- der, he wanted to try a more delicate brand of humour. He borrowed'. a pair of Fatty Ar - buckle's trousers, a cane, and an oversized pair of shoes, and adopted the role of a seedy dan- dy, It was an immediate: suc- cess. He explained: "The bowler, too small, . is striving for dig- . nity, The moustache is, vanity,' The tightly buttoned coat and' the •stick and his whole manner are a gesture .towards gallantry and dash and 'front.' He is try- ing to meet the world bravely, to put up a bluff, and he knows that, too, He' knows it so well that he can laugh at himself, and pity himself a little," Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, and Larry Semon were the only comedians who came near to rivalling Chaplin. Bet w e e n them, in films like "Grandma's Boy," "The Photographer," and "The Perfect Clown," they made pictures that still rank with Hollywood's best, But it was becoming more and more difficult to make the aud- ience laugh, They. were grow- ing up. The gimmicks that Mack Sennett. had ,used couldn't be employed any more, ' ' Then, almost overnight, • came the `talkies, . and silent films be- came as out-of-date as yester- day's news, The old guard of comedians hated the idea, Said Chaplin: "They come to ruin .the world's most ancient art, the art of pantomime. They annihilate the great beauty of silence." But like it or not, they had come to stay, and with them a new generation of comedians— the men with a fast line in pat- ter, the cross -talkers, Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante— these were the great names of the talking screen. Since they demanded a com- pletely new style, talking come- dians had to begin from scratch, Twenty years of developing si- lent films counted for nothing, W. C. Fields realized how much had been lost, and fought hard to restore it, . despite , the per- sonal fortune he was making through talkies. "My ambition is to bring back the old burles- que. It is as eternal as laugh- ter," he said. Fields lived to see his own generation of comedians super- seded by another—Danny Kaye, Bob Hope, Abbott and Costello, With them, the gag -book came to count for more and more, the visual comedy for less. But the 'latest humorists — Martin and Lewis, and Norman Wisdom, are leaning back to the silent style of comedy. This book leaves , us with rather a disturbing thought, Perhaps, after • all, we don't laugh any more at the fast - talking funny men on their wide screens in super colour than our fathers did at the Key- stone Cops. STYLE IN "SHORTS" Spring fashions for men, recently. Shown. at Palm Springs, show a trend to trousers and jacket sleeves that are cut shorter. Par- ticular style pictured. above, "Ville d'Este," features a short jacket of black cotton with em- ' bossed stitching on cardigan col lar, sleeve cuff and trouser out - seams, Jacket. has ,hidden pock- ets, and slacks have only side pockets. 2 WIVES, 6 MEALS DAILY Glenn Cole recently received a prison sentence for bigamy.

He had three good meals a day 'from his bigamous wife, and then tried, to eat another threefrom his legitimate wife. The scheme failed. First White Child It was from his' New York correspondent the schoolmaster (Chevalier) had learned how it was not chiefly and solely the Dutch who had reared New Am- sterdam, Indeed the Walloons were French, native-born in the province of that name on France's northern border, when, to outflank the horrible dra- goons, they had fled into the Estate of Holland, whereto later French Protestants also repair- ed in the century following the Massacre of St. Bartholomew. And eventually a certain Jesse de Forest proposed -to the Dutch West India Company, then in process of formation, that he was prepared to transport a French colony to America. And this offer being accepted, it was French Protestants, and not merely Hollanders, who made up a great portion of the thirty families sailing in March, 1823, in the "New Netherland", and thereafter aiding the formation and maintenance of that Dutch colony at the mouth of the Hud. son River, , "What then did the new colon- ists find? No more than a few huts near the southern end of the island; a trading post main- tained by Amsterdam merchants and with the remainder of the country one vast wilderness, The residents of this group of huts, however, were by n0 means all from the Estates of the Netherlands! "There, as early as 1614, a child named Jean Vigne was born of Hugeunot parents," cried Chevalier, "So with scholars, if not with the 111 - educated, patriotic English, this baby disputes with Virginia Dare of the Province of Vir- ginia, the title of being the first white child to enter the, world on the continent of North A m e r i c a." — From "The Hugeunot", by Donald Douglas, CHARLEY HORSE Many times we have wondered about the origination of the ex- pression "charley horse." Here 'tis: During the 1890's, baseball diamonds weren't given the spe- cial care that is given them to- day. However, club owners did try to keep their fields playable. In Chicago, the White Sox em- ployed a heavy roller to smooth out the playing surface. It was drawn by a lame horse called Charley, It was natural for the fans to apply the term "charley horse" to any player who ex- hibited a muscular injury result- ing in stiffness or lameness of an , arm or leg, - CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING DADY CHICKS 1966 PROFITS for poultrykeepers d.. pend largely on wise choices of breeds and crosses.

C. Polio Fund collected nearly three hundred thousand dollars in their an- nual campaign, while the Ontario Chapter received only $104,000,00. Yet the problem of polio is every bit .as serious here as in the West. This year the organization is cam- paigning for $350,000.00 In the Prov- ince_, $150,000 of this the quota for Tc. ronto. When it is realized that com- paratively small Victoria, B,C, with n population of only 60,000 people gave nearly $70,000 last year. Toronto's quota looks ridiculously small, Yet, based on past experience.• it doesn't look small to the Directors of the fund. also said that the North Huron Swine It is hoped that the greater part of Club would be holding their Achieve - the total amount will be raised on the ment Day at the Fair and that C. R. night .of January 31st. when 20,000 To- Coultes and Arnold Cook, were ap- ronto mothers take the fight against pointed leaders for the 4-H Club. polio into their own hands, and March On Friday evening the choir of Knox to collect money for the Foundation. This action has filled the Chairman, Mr, Alex Fisher and his ass'stants with optimism. For 1'ke all rnen, they real- ize that you can never underestimate the power of u woman! And when 20,000 aroused women de- cide to do something about polio; -- they feel confident that this year, To- ronto and all of Ontario will prove 'that charity lives here just as well es in any other Province of Canada. .
