The election of officers was presid- ed over by l-1iarold Baker, Assistant Agricultural Representative, More Interest From Blyth Needed In opening the meeting Mr. Hallahan remarking on the attendance said that he was disappointed there were not more people present from the Village oL Blyth. In this respect he remark- ed: "If you have an active commun. ity you have an active town, and if you have an active town you have an acs• tive community. The two go hand in hand and are dependent one on the other," Mr. Hallatton remarked on the- ef• feet Inclement weather had on last year's Fair in cutting. attendance fig- ures and a drop in receipts which had a detrimental effect on the Soc- ieties financial position at the begin- ning of another year. However, said Mr. HaVlahan, "We •must keep pace with other fairs." Mr, Hallahan spoke of the proposed 12th of July celebra. tion to be held here this year, and expressed the hope that. the Society ,would{•again•..have'•tho:.opportunity,• to take on the day's. booth privileges, In announcing his retirement from the presidency, he said he would give his whole -hearted support to his suc- cessor, He closed by saying that he had enjoyed his associations with the other members • , The Secretary, Mrs, Jean Berthot, presented the financial statement which was adopted'. The auditor's report as prepared by the auditor, Frank Tam- blyn, was adopted. The secretary al- so read a list of 4955 paid-up mem- bers. • Reporting for the various classes In the prize list, J. B. Watson had noth- ing to report on the races which were rained out last year, Jim Coultes, in charge of the cattle, said that he be- lieved everything had gone along .well, For :the dairy cattle, John Young said there had been an excellent showing and the exhibitors appeared satisfied, Jim Coultes and Simon Hallahan re- ported on the Beef and Dairy Calf Clubs respectively, both of which had functtioned successfully and had been a distinct asset to the fair with many of the members going on to higher honours, Harry Sturdy reported for the 4-H Club which also had function- ed successfully and from which he believed the members had gained val- uable experience, William Gow re- ported on the Black and White Show which had included 100 head of cattle the exhibitors of which had appeared satisfied, Reporting for the sheep, Or- val McGowan said the showing hucl compared favourably with other, years. James Walpole reported the -exhibit of hogs as small. Walter Scott reporting for the Field, Crop Competition said that all but two of the thirteen mem- bers had showed at ,the fair, Gilbert Nethery'reported, for the root, vege- table and' fruits department, saying there had been a good showing, ,Mrs, L. Scrimgeour wound up the reports by saying that the baking display had' been o good.ono, Harry Sturdy reported on the Jun- ior Section of the Fair remarking :on the fine showing by -the schools in the parade, which was the largest he could ever remember, All participating schools showed interest and he believ- ed the junior section was a very im- portant part of the fair, Improvements • Mr. Hallnhan introduced the sub. ject of improvements which was fol- lowed by a discussion on the prize money paid out in the horse classes, Jhn Coultes suggested a curb in this department, Jack Watson remarked that many exhibitors could place the same animal in more than one class section, thus enhancing their share' of prize money and the showing in the class could be quite small compared to the money paid out, ' Harry Sturdy pointed out the spread in the prize money paid out between the cattle classes and horse classes which a- mounited to nearly $200 more for the horses. Jim Coultes and Keith Webster mov. ed a motion that all horse classes be specified to be kept within a 20 -mile radius, An amendment was moved by Ab. Bacon, and seconded, that the las- ses be left as they are, but the prize stoney be cut. An amendment to the amendment was moved by Harry Study and Wal- ter Scott that the horse division he given further consideration at another meeting and that all sections be re- vised, was carried. ' Blyth Fair Days Sept, 20 & 21st Mr, Hallahan announced that the dates for this year's Fair had been set by Agricultural Representative G. JJ Montgomery for Tuesday and Wednes- day, Sept. 20 and 21st. -Referring to this item in a speech later on in the meeting, Assistant Agricultural Repre- sentative Harold Baker remarked that the dates for all County Fairs had been set by Mr. Montgomery, with the priv- ilege being extended to any Board 'to have dates changed . where not suit- able, Ab, Bacon suggested that in view of the heavy showing of cattle that more adequate tieing space be made avail- able in the cattle sections to avoid congestion. Invite Black and Whites Again A motion extended an Invitation to the Huron Ciunty Holstein Assocla ' tion to again hold their show in con. nection •with Blyth Fair. A motion was also passed to continue affiliation with the Federation 'of Agriculture. Assistant Agricultural Representative Makes Suggestions . • , Harold Baker, • Assistant Agricultural Representative for Huron was :celled on for remarks by Mr. Hallahan. Mr. Baker remarked that he -would have-llked,to seeamorerladfe s;present; He complimented the Fair Board' on their past efforts and also spoke of the bad weather for last year's fair. Among suggestions he put fortn were; More- interest locally such as more commercial exhibits by local business people, A good cement floor in the arena to eliminate dust conditions would be an advantage and. would encourage exhibitors. A re -arrangement of the livestop1s rings to improve accessability, Mr, Baker remarked that the .4-H club work sponsored by the Fair Board, and its results, were particul- arly pleasing to his department. In closing he expressed the appre. station of the Department for local in- terest and co-operation, Mr, Hallahan in turn expressed the Society's appreciation for the help ob- tained from the Agricultural Office. The problem of -laying a cement floor In the arena was brought up and the floor laid in -the Belgrave arena as used as a comparison, -There the wwork had been on a voluntary basis, and the expense had been kept -to a minimum. The floor in the Blyth ar- ena would cost more because of the larger floor space, Someone started figuring the rough cost of such an un. dertaking but In the process of further business, it never vas announced, On County and Municipal Grants Reeve Bailie .Parrott of Morris Township was called on and regarding grants from the County of Huron to County Fairs, he said that they would be proportionate to last year. ' Mr. P1]llahan remarked that many Fairs received larger municipal grants' than Blyth Fair, and cited as an ex- ample one Fair where • their.-- lowest grant from town and surrounding municipalities was in excess of $300, More Help Front Blyth • Mr; Hallahan appealed for more -help from Blyth, both on a Municipal level and individually. He suggested that local clubs, the Lions and Leg- , ion, might organize -a local midway of games and other attractions that would prove to be an asset in attracting -, a larger ,attendance of people. He also suggested an early posting of the prize ltslt as it pertains to the ladies,. classes, so that more prepara- tion time could be 'made available to exhibitors, In this connection, Mrs, Keith Webster, Mrs, Jean Berthot, and Mrs, L. Scrimgeour were named to get the ladies committees organized mid working, •• • Will Again Sponsor Calf Clubs At the suggestion of the Agricultur- al Officr, the Society again decided - to sponsor the (Blyth-Belgrave 4-H „Bent. - (Continued on page -4) So& 4;eiteitea0 ,imeeiono NS(iY(iiHi TEA SAGS L R2<`v Painting Pointers A paint roller must be cleaned carefully after use if it is to do a sdtisfactory job the next time, But cleaning can be a messy business. Here's a tidyand ef- fective method. After using olI paint, squeeze the excess paint out of the roller by rolling it in the empty pan. Then put it in an empty polythene bag—the kind the groceries come in, but make sure it is one without • ,4 s � ;` < f,' ; ti , jl' holes, Then you can squeeze the roller by hand, working out § �z the remaining paint, Rinse the roller in a pan of turpentine, mineral spirits or other thinner, repeating until clean. After painting with latex -base paints, clean the roller in lukewarm water. * • * The best way to mix paint is to use two cans. Pour off the top liquid from the new can of paint and stir the sticky solids in the bottom of the can. Then pour the two back and forth from one"•can to the other sev- eral times, Keep an extra paint pail in the house for this pur- pose, • * * Be' careful when painting any- thing which has had wax on it. Paint will not adhere to ,wax and inno time it will peal and chip. Scrub the surface first with soap and water, then give it a good rubbing with turpentine to re- move every trace of wax. If any gloss still remains, rub it lightly with fine sandpaper. Be sure the surface is thoroughly dry before you paint. course, fascinating from a medi- cal standpoint as one •follows the hard but successful strug- gles of the young doctor against Ignorance, lack of sanitation and witchcraft, So, if you really want a fas- cinating and informative book to read just try "Doctor to the Islands" --written in a style that is humourous and easy to read, Another book, that should be particularly interesting to peo- ple from England is "Royal Chef," being the experience of the Royal Chef at Buckingham Palace from the latter part of Queen Victoria's reign to that of George V and later as chef for the late Queen Mary after she became Queen Mother, Well, for the first time this winter the fields are covered with snow.

Partner isn't too good at keeping his balance and I am even worse so we make a good pair. However, Partner has a pair of "creep- ers" that he keeps for just such 'an emergency. Without them there are times when he would hardly be able to get up the hill from the barn, even with the help of ashes. Many times we have thought we would like an oil -burning furnace instead of coal, but as 'Partner says — "What would he do without ashes in slippery weather?" Not only for ourselves, but for the cows and cars too. Every day • Partner goes out with his ash - pail before the truck comes in for the milk. After breakfast he starts out again, spreading ashes for the cows from the barn to the trough, and from the driving shed to where I must walk to back the car out of the shed, •Ie 'also uses quite. a bit of salt. And then, afterall his trouble the cows• come out to drink and what do they do? Start fight- ing, no less!

Did you know for example that boiling water has to reach a temperature of 212 degrees and that the perfect cup of Tea is made only when fresh water has been brought to a furious bubbly boil? If the teapot isn't heated first, even boiling water will drop as many as 20 degrees after it has been poured into , the teapot.

It. gives striking examples of what happens when man-made .in- tervention upsets, the balance of nature. For instance there were many ' large mango and chest- nut trees . on the island which were always left standing even though' younger trees were ,cut" down. Then, in 1935 along ,came a Government agricultural "ex= pert." He had previously work- ed in South Africa, and.

So he•ordered the hugeold, trees t'o be cut down on the ground that their great spreading _roots were draining nourishment from the soil. The natives did as they were told although they knew that the tree roots shook and 'movedin the' '.tropical storms, loosening the soil better than a plough could have done, while shade from the' trees gave' shelter to the "low crops." The • trees were destroyed and as a result the crops were alternate- ly , bleached by the sun and washed out by, the rain; 'Then came the order to prune the orange trees, That, too; was, a grave mistake as, according ,to Dr. Davis, in this region of tropical hurricanes; nature ,does her own • pruning and the trees survive, whereas the trees that .were pruned with clippers died within a . few weeks. , The story .of the. island is, of ISSUE .5 1.955 whole works, What added charm to my attractive foot, wear was the fact that one sock was bright blue with red . tops and the other light grey—they were the only ones in my mend- ing basket that didn't need darning, Fortunately no one came along the road when 1 was getting the mail from the box!

Ile weighs only 133 pounds, Yet little Andre Binette has written into the saga of hockey when he was called on In a sudden emergency by a National Hockey League team. The night of November 11 Canadiens were drilling in the usual fashion before playing Chicago Black Hawks, Jacques Plante, the hawk -faced gooier was In the nets, casually batting away the' shots his mates were tossing his way. The shots were easy for the swift -moving Plante to handle, Easy, that is, _until one streaking drive took a sudden sharp curve and the frozen puck, travelling at bullet speed, crashed into his face, He fell head -foremost onto the ice. His cheek -bone was shattered by the impact. Canadiens bad two spare goalers, One was out of the city, with Royals' team. The other was down at Providence. So, suddenly, the League leaders found themselves with no goaler at all. Then someone recalled that little Andre Binette, spare net -minder for a junior team, was in the house. Quickly, he was found. He was asked to play: "No, no". he protested at first, bewildered by it all. "It would not be fair to Canadiens, I am so small;" But in the end, he consented to fill the gap as best he could. He was hurried to the dressing -room, equipped with the big pads left behind by the 175 -pound Plante, pads which hung almost ludicrously from the little fellow's skimpy frame. He shambed out on the ice, shaking with nervous tension, weighted down by the over -size gear — his own was in a sports shop, being cut down. But his moment of glory has come and he rose to meet it, Hawks pelted him with shots, One got by because his leg 'pads struck his chest when' he bent overand he couldn't reach down to stop the puck sliding along the ice. Four shots beat him in all, Canadiens imagination caught fire, "We can't let the kid down" was their battle -cry, and they flred seven goals, equalling their highest total of the year, past Rollins in the Chicago twine, So for little Andre Binette, as he lurched wearily down the Ice, a dream had suddenly come true. He had his night of glory. Probably he will never play in the National League again, '• But he had his game, and won it, and his name will be Inscribed In the all-time records as one of those hockey rarities — a goaler who batted 1,000 percent, Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert Ffouse, 431 Yong.

Calvett DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSIBURO, ONTARIO Man Builds Home Beehive -shaped A man who has kept bees in New Plymouth, New Zealand, for 34 years has finally built . a "beehive" for himself. From his long experience as beekeeper, George Brewster has discovered that bees knew what theywere doing when they chose the hexagon as a basis for hive construction, , And since it was good enough for the bees, It was good enough for Mr. Brewster, "something EMPTY POCKETS—The solution to the problem of, how to keep that well -pressed look is in . the brief • case.

Ulf - superior," he said, "to man- made right angles," So he built a house of no right angles, using the hexagon as the basis of measurements and design, • ' Hence, Mr, Brewster has come up with something unique in the history of prefabricated con- struction, The benefits are mani- fold, he said. For the hexagon, he added, provides greater floor space for relative wall space, greater storage capacity, and far greater strength for the con- struction unit, It also has the advantage of ' unlimited variations of design and size from an extremely small number of basic shapes and pieces, Mr. Brewster has reduced the materials used to 16 standard parts which can be factory -cut and mass produced. Many of the parts •make use of smaller waste pieces of tim- ber that ordinarily • drift from the orthodox construction job into the scrap heap. All the wall units have a laminated frame, lined on the inside with hex- agonal sections, each built around three diamond shapes and 'fin- ished • on the outside with . a sheathing • of , rough -cast plaster. • Mr,'Brewster's own house con.- ' sista of seven equal -sized rooms or units, all opening from -a central hall and joined by. quaintly shaped archways' which can be curtained .or fitted with sliding doors, . • The only discordant note to Mr, Brewster is the rectangular bath, but the plumber just could not bring himself to follow the suggestion to "knock the corners off," Mrs. Brewster, who shares her husband's enthusiasm for this "bee'wise" style of living, finds their home a joy to keep in order, "UNDER"NOURISHED•Nourished under water, that Is, Pauline Ady'and• Barry Blair,' framed by a port of their diying tank at -- an exhibition In London, England, demonstrate that you can have. a snack •while enjoying the .growing sport of skin-diving.

Stars and Planets Stars and planets look very much alike, although they are actually entirely different kinds of bodies, Stars are huge balls of extremely hot and glowing gas, like our own sun, Planets are much smaller than most stars and are more or less like the earth, for they have no light or heat of their own, The planets shine brilliantly in the sky simply because they reflect the light of the sun, somewhat as a mirror might, While there are countless trillions of stars, we know definitely ofonly nine planets, and all of these belong to the sun's family, On a clear night the sky is full of stars. Since the planets are constantly moving around the sun, some of these bodies may be in the night•time sky where we can see them among the stars, and some of them may be in the daytime sky where we can not see them because of the sunlight. At times when some of the planets are shining among the stars, it may be difficult, to know which are planets and which are stars, We have already seen that stars twinkle because their light is bent in various ways by the differently heated layers of at- mosphere, Planets do not twinkle, ordinarily, but seem to shine with a steady, unwavering light, Even through large tele. scopes, the biggest stars appear simply- as tiny points of light, whiles the planets show very definite ' discs and surfaces, Hence, more rays come to us from the surface of a planet than from the surface of a star, The light from the planets does not waver as much as that from the stars because the wavering of one ray of light is counter- acted by the wavering of an. other ray in another direction. Planets can also be picked out by noticing that over a period of time they change their positions against the background of the stars, The word planet means wanderer. Through the year, the planets can be seen traveling against the starry sky, The stars, on the other hand, seem to re- main fixed in relation to each other, JUST ADVERTISING Poke — "Bill Perkins must be happy and prosperous — always cordial and smiling broadly." Moke — "No, it's just that new upper plate he's so proud of." .. PLAIN' HORSE SENSE.. By F. (BOB) VON PILIS .A strong plea for a clear-cut agricultural policy was mode a • few days ago in the House of Commons by F. S. Zaplitny (member for Dauphin, Man.). Mr, .Zaplitny said . that he wanted to. repeat the statement that had, been made so often by by. members of all parties "that agriculture is entitled to its fair share_ of 'the national income. He 'said' that he, was not going to ask for "hand-outs" or "pre- ferred treatment," but wanted to outline "a policy .which will, as near as it is possible to do •so, bring to agriculture its- fair share of the national Income,". Supports Forward Prices He quoted a resolution carried at a 'recent convention of the Manitoba Farmers Union .which calls for 'the establishment by • the federal government of "a • policy of forward pricing on all agricultural commodities, which would bear a. 95 per parity relationship 'to other goods and services, thus bringing about stability in • agriculture and strengthen our whole economy!' The honourable member for Dauphin came out strongly in support of this resolution from -which he evolved a number of necessary measures, • the first and 'foremost of which is a sys- tem of marketing boards, He asked for assistance to those provinces which are now trying 'to organize livestock marketing boards with the ul- timate aim of setting up a nationallivestock marketing Board, More important still was the establishment of floor prices for livestock products, which Mr, Zaplitny submitted was a mat- ter. beyond the financial' pos- sibilities of any one. province and a 'responsibility of the fed- eral government. Two Price System Mr, Zaplitny went on to dis- cuss;what is called, in the opin- ion of ' this writer erroneously so, a twoprice system; in other words one•set prim for the home market and lower competitive prices for export. He explained that this was regular practice as far as industry is concerned.' This column has always pro- pounded . the idea of setting commodity prices for home con- sumption and to export- any "surpluses" at world prices, The question' to be answered is. whether this should be done by ' the government or by the farm- ers . themselves' through their own marketing agencies. Price Spreads Investigation The honourable member also urged the government to in- vestigate the spreads of prices between producer and consum- er. He ' produced figures which show that wheat for which the ' farmer received 96 cents to $1.25 costs $7.28 when retailed in'°the form of bread. Oats for which the farmer received 20 to 52 cents per bushel bring 43.62 a bushel when turned into rolled oats for human consump- tion, Barley for, which the farm- ers are paid 50 to 92 cents .a bushel, is worth $4.32 in the form of dry malt, and if turn- , ed into liquid malt as •much as $9. For the People of Canada Mr, Zaplitny ended his speech with an appeal to national pride, genuine love of the Ca- nadian soil, the appreciation of the possibilities in our country and the knowledge of the great- er things that can be 'done for the benefit of the people of Canada, - - It would be useful for farm- ers to study this 'speech and to discuss the proposed policies at their meetings, .

But his complaints were a mere whisper compared to the howl put up by today's young- sters if they have to walk more than a half-dozen blocks to school, According to foot doctors, how- ever, there may be some merit to Junior's complaints, The doctors say that Junior's feet are probably worse off than Grandpa's ever were. Why? Well, Grandpa's parents knew more about foot care than we do — his generation did a great deal more walking and thus were more conscious of shoes and foot comfort, Today's youngsters do a lot. of their daily travel in cars and - buses, and parents are apt to neglect their feet — which is why school health examinations turn up the . fact that far too many children are wearing un- suitable and outgrown shoes. The pair you bought Junior in the Fall may still have a lot of wear in them, butchances are they're cramping his feet as he steps out in 1955 — and that can be the beginning of foot troubles that can plague him all his life, With four months of school and rough play behind them, midwinter is a good time to check your children's . shoes if you want them to walk into the new school term on healthy feet, And be sure to take a little extra time and care when you buy Junior new shoes, special- ly as far as fit and materials are concerned. Make certain that the soles are made of flexible leather that bends easily with the. foot, - But no matter how much your youngster likes a particular style, don't let him leave the store in badly fitting shoes. Have his feet measured standing up - they'll spread naturally with his weight on them, The proper length allows three-quarters of an inch• between his big toe and the tip of the shoe. You can be certain the width is correct if the upper leather across the toes can be humpped up slight- ly between your fingers. The heel fit should be snug, with no up-and-down slipping as he walks, See that ‘Junior tries on both hoes andwalks. around the tore in them to check for com- fort. Sometimes• one foot is slightly larger than the other, and he should be fltted for the larger one.

VEHICLES DAMAGED IN COLLISION Two cars, both northbound on No. 4 Highway, figured in an accident north of Blyth on Monday with no.In- jury to the occupants, and an estimated. $200 damages to the vehicles involved. The cars were driven by David Gwynn, of RR. 3, Blyth, 'and George Richardson, of Wingham. The accident reportedly occurred .when one of the vehicles pulled out to pass the other, Provincial Constable Robert Lewis of Wingham investigated, • PEACE IN THE HEART While wars and their effects are all about us, let us be sure we know how to find peace in our own hearts. Here is Henry Van Dyke's recipe: To be glad of life because it gives 'you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars, to be satisfied with your possessions but not contented with yourself until you have made thebest, of them, to despise nothing in the world • except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be gov. erned by your admirations"rather than by your disgusts, to covdt nothing that is your :-neighbour's excepthis kind- nes3 of heart and gentleness of man- ners, to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends, and every day of Christ, and to spend as much lints as you can, with body and with spirit, in God's out-of-doors—these are little guide -posts on the footpath to peace. —Published by request, lemaisaidi Local Hockey Team Record Wins There may be those who thought we were whistling a pretty optimistic tune when we mentioned improvement in our local hockey teams last, week, and said that they should g'.ve a bet• ter account in fwture games, We are happy to report that both the 13th Concesulon Intermediates and the Lions Midgets resppnded to the rally- ing call and chalked up wins in games played since, • The victory for the. 13th Concession Intermediye:s over Ripley played at the local arena was a startling rever- sal of form, considering the fact that last time the 'two teamsmet on Blyth ice, the score was 18 to 1 for Ripley. ` The game last Friday night was as close as the score would indicate which finally wound up 9 to 8 in favour of the 13th. The' lord see -sawed beck and forth wait the home-towpors put- ting on a ;treat last period rally 10 pull the game out of the fire, The 13th play an exhibition game WO Walton at the local arena Wednesday n'ght. They have three more league dames to play before the playoffs, two at Ripley, and one here with Gorrie on February 13th. All teams are in the round-robin playoffs. Not so fortunate in the playoff re- spect .are our Blyth midgets w,ho failed' to make the playoffs in their three -team group, litit who won a close victory last week from the visit- ing Hjensall team, defeating them 2-1 for their only victory of the season. In their final match of the schedule back in Hensall on Monday night, they lost by a 6-2 score. Hensall and' Monkton now go into a playoff series. The midget management plan some exhibition games for the Blyth team through which they hope the players will gain valuable experience for an- other season, t, W. A.

Hardly a day has passed ,since a week ago last Sunday that - consider- able snowfall hasn't been recorded, and temperatures kept pace , by dropping well below zero several nights, Thursday of last week was so dtormy that local school busses failed to make their runs to collegiates and Clinton and Wingham, something that has been the exception to the rule the past few winters, The month of February was greet- ed with more than the usual enthus- iasm on Tuesday, and with it came a temporary lull in the severe tempera- tures; with more cold weather pre- dicted for the immediate future, Signs of Spring are scarce at this stage, although Rclend Vincent re- ported seeing a crow a week ago, as did some local hunters who were out trying to make life -a little more mis- erable,for'the foxes and rabbits of the district. • • BLYTH NATIVE DIES • Stricken while motoring south two weeks ago, Dr. John E, Moser, 49, a Toronto dentist for the past .14 years, and a native of Styli), died Saturday In a Chattanooga, Tenn.

But she is dead wrong Sherry is definitely an alcoholic bev- erage. It is made from the fermen- t:4ton of white grapes. After pressing, the grapes are "pla'stered" i,e. sprinkl- ed with gypsum to aid fermentation, fiAfter this process, reducing the sugar content down to 8 or 10 degrees, elcu= hot, often to the form of brandy, is ad- ded to bring the wine up to 18 or.20 degrees of alcoholic content, Indeed, even natural sherry is no' weak sister in the family of sweet wines.

Of course you've heard it be - lore, but it's worth repeating — and remembering — that cake - making Is an art which requires precise measuring and mixing of all ingredients for complete success, In other words, don't guess, Oven temperatures should also be checked carefully, and for butter cakes, make sure all ingredients are at room tem- perature. * * * There is a standard method of mixing butter cakes which be- gins with creaming the shorten- ing, and adding• sugar gradually. Separate eggs, beat yolks and add to creamed mixture (or, if eggs are not to be separated, add whole, beaten eggs), Sift flour, measure, add other dry ingredi- ents, and sift again. Next, add dry ingredients and milk alter- nately to butter -sugar mixture, keeping batter at same con- sistency throughout.

Farm Testing Treated Seed Numerous Western farms be- came part-time experimental stations this year by participat- ing In on -the -farm comparisons between untreated seed and seed treated with mercurial fungi. Odes. Results of the trials, in- stituted by Du Pont of Canada, have now been tabulated, by the company's agronomists, and have proven so encouraging that this method of field testing un- der actual farm conditions will be carried out on a nation-wide scale during the next crop year. Alfalfa and clover were sub- jects of the pilot tests conducted this year. Other seeds, includ- ing wheat, oats, rye, barley, soy- bean and flax will be used in the enlarged program planned for 1955. In each experiment, compar- able plots were planted with the same amount. of treated and untreated seed. When the plants had reached maturity, an actual stand count was made in each section, A two -foot diameter hoop was tossed out at five ran- dom locations in each plot; ,all plants found encircled by the hoop 'were then counted, When the results were tallied, it was found that the sectionsplanted with treated seed yielded great- er stands than those, producd by untreated seed. Differences as high as 100 per cent (alfalfa) were; recorded. Plants from' the treated'sections also appeared to be of higher' quality, .

FILMLAND usually likes to , keep its trick -work a secret, But It tells the truth to the public with "The Student Prince," MGM are candid about it, ad- vertising that It isn't Edmund Purdom's singing voice we hear. Although he is the star we see, the voice belongs to Mario Lanza, A remarkable story lies be- hind it all, and Edmund Purdom recently told how it was done. Coincidence played its part. To begin .with, Mario Lanza was to have starred In the film, and he • pre-recorded all the songs for it, But difficulties arose and it was decided not to go ahead. The producers were left with songs but no picture. That, was in October, 1952, Three months later, Edmund .Purdom was placed on contract. The two events had nothing whatever to do with each other. After appearing in "Julius Caesar," Purdom found himself at a loose end and with nothing lined up for him. The fllm he was supposed to do was post- poned. Rather than waste time, he decidedto take advantage of the numerous facilities offered free to contract players, He could take lessons in more or less any- thing he liked,' So he studied various subjects which he thought might be useful. Among them were fencing, dancing, dra- matic coaching—and singing. "Singing was the one thing I'd never tried before," he told me, "and rather to my own surprise I found myself developing into quite a' good baritone under the guidance of Maestro Leon Cep- paro, "After a time, I felt that I was ready to have a go at singing in musicals if anyone askedme. Which, when you come to think of it, is rather ironical, it's not my own voice, after all!" silk this Seed disinfectants do not di- rectly influence germination, nor are they fertilizers, They are de- signed, however, for the impor- tant job of protecting the seed and seedling from the attack of seed -borne and soil -borne dis- ease organisms which cause seed rot and seedling decay or' wdamping off." Seed treatment, hich costs only a few cents an acre, ensures plants a good start in life, allowing healthy initial develgpment of both root and top growth until the planthas become firmly established. The mercurial fungicides •are said to be particularly effective when weather conditions, such as . a cold or , wet Spring, are un- favourable, "Could you," the specialist asked, "pay for an uperation if I found one necessary?" "Would you," countered the patient, "find one necessary if I couldn't pay for it?" remarked, and she looked thoughtful, Half an hour . later, she burst out, excitedly: "I've got a great ideal" The idea was that Edmund Purdom should do "The Student Prince" to Mario Lanza's voice, At first, everyone thought the idea was quite crazy, It was one thing for an • actor like Larry Parks to play the part of Al Jolson and mime to Jolson's voice --he was actually portray- ing the owner of the voice, From time to time, Hollywood studios make what they call general production tests, Their aim is to try out players in vari- ous parts as well as to experi- ment on them with different types of lighting, make-up and so on, Edmund Purdom was put into one of these production tests with Ann Blyth, Once again, fate was weaving its strange pattern, For Ann, had been cast as Mario Lanza's co-star in "The Student Prince," and she had pre-recorded her songs at the same time as he had done. It 'was another thing for a star to have a voice "double"—and plenty of musical stars do have regular voice doubles, But it was yet another thing again for an actor to mime to such a recognizable voice as Mario Lanza's, On top of that, Lanza would not be likely to give permission for his voice to be used unless he received credit for it. "There were a lot of prob- lerhs." Edmund Purdom ex- plained. "The main one was that the numbers had to flow out of the dialogue. "It was necessary for me to • visualize how M a r i o Lanza would have played the scenes, otherwise the action would nev- er have looked convincing. One top of that, I had to pitch my voice so that when the dialogue went into song audiences would not be conscious of the fact that they were hearing a different man." Telling this, Edmund Purdom revealed a sidelight on Holly- wood's recording technique. Most songs are recorded several times and very often certain notes from one recording are better than in another. So -the best parts are taken from each in- dividual" sound track and then "dubbed" on to one fresh track. In this way, it is possible to get a completely faultless song al- though the original quality may have varied considerably every time it was recorded. As it happened, Mario Lanza's voice in this case was so good that it wasn't necessary to re- cord him more than once. But when it came to duets with Ann Blythe, the two stars did their recordings quite separately. The best of A n's sound tracks could then be blended .with Lanza's, SWING TO SPRING—At least for a- moment .or. two, and forget dreary winter days while you swing on :the beach with Mary Lou Lynn, But the general production test that Edmund Purdom did with Ann Blyth was a straight acting one, without any singing. It was while they were doing it that Lillian Burns, the dramatic coach,•suddenly exclaimed: "Ann and Edmund would make a won- derful team. What a pity you're nota singer, Edmund!" "I've been taking lessons," he Two months were spent on a test. Edmund had to learn two of the numbers, "Beloved" and "Drink, Drink, Drink," The test itself ran for twenty minutes on the screen and, in the end, it was decided to go ahead with the plan. Edmund had to learn the eight other songs from the mu- sical. And here was another prob- lem, Mario Lanza is a tenor; Edmund Purdom is a baritone, You may not think this would matter. Oddly enough, it mat- ters quite a lot because, even when a star is acting to a "ghost" voice, he has to sing the num- bers himself, "You can't sing the impression that you are singing unless you are actually singing," d pointed out, "Opening and dos- ing your mouth simply looks un- natural. My problem was that— though I hadn't realized it at first—the actual muscular move- ments of the throat are different for a tenor and a baritone, "When the scenes were filmed, I acted to at loudspeaker play - I back of Mario Lanza's voice, and I had to pitch my voice as near as possible to match- his, I managed to reach the high notes, too, though I'm not going to tell you what they sounded likel" • " bel, your sleep is showing!"

The . history of ultramarine stretches over many centuries, The Egyptians and other ancient peoples prized a blue semi- precious stone called lapis la- zuli which was found in China, Tibet, Persia and Afghanistan, In medieval times, it was dis- covered that the blue stone could be ground and refined as a color pigment. Caravans from the East brought lapis lazuli to Eu- rope. There it was known as ultramarine blue - "the blue from beyond the seas," Ultra- marine pigment illuminated me- dieval manuscripts and bright- ened the canvases of Flemish and Italian masters, This -blue was valued by artists above all other blues. However, with in- creasing demand, supplies grew scarce and fabulously expensive. Chemists in the early 1800's analysed the stone from across the seas and In 1828 they dis- covered the secret of a process to make the pigment artificially. French, and German factories began commercial production and ultramarine soon became even more familiar as a common washday aid than as an artist's color, Unlike a bleach, ultramarine doesn't whiten clothes by chem- ical action. It creates an opti- cal effect of whiteness., by re- flecting the blue waves of light to neutralize the yellow light which white surfaces reflect. In- dustry takes advantage of this effect, too, in the, whitening of paper pulp and paint pigments, In the 1850's, Isaac Reckitt, a starch -maker with a small busi- ness in Hu11, England, entered the blueing business. He began to import the, pigment from the Continent to sell to the house. • wives of Britain, ReckItt's side- line made his name a household word and his company the world's largest supplier of ul- tramarine. Records show that the com- pany filled its first Canadian order • 00 years ago, when 25 hundredweight of laundry blue arrived in Montreal,' The same tort of blue is still whitening Canadian clothes today. To us, ultramarine is still, literally, "the blue from beyond the seas." COMMEMORATIVE- Italian pos- al authoritieshave lust issued this stamp honoring the Marian Year..

Thirty Years In Steaming Jungles For a white man to spend over thirtyyears in the steam- ing Jungles of Brazil and to re- turn to civilization sound in mind and body is by way of•be- ing no mean achievement. Both the record and the inevitable adventurous living crammed tightly into half a lifetime must be unique. Sasha Siemel is unique; not only as a hunter but as a man,, for he combines the ingenuity of the white hunter and the cunning of the Indian whose senses match those of the ani. mals they trail, . Such was the ice:cool courage of Siemel that he preferred to fight the fierce jaguars armed only with a spear - animals weighing twice as much as the average man, and about equal in size to the Bengal tiger. In an exciting and thrilling account of his' adventures, "Jun- gle Fury" Sasha Siemel writes so vividly" that the reader prac- tically lives, camps, and hunts by the side of the adventurer; Rough -Stuff Wrestling Apart from being a hunter of note, Sasha Siemel owns quite a 'reputation as a boxer -and wrest- ler, Earlier in his career Sasha,, together with his brother Ernst, were making their way to the diamond. fields of Brazil: En rote to Sao" Paulo was a Turk - is i wrestler, Leon Beduino, who decided to break his' journey at Passo Fundo, and was here that' the brothers met up with him. Beduino, hoping to 'acquire a few more milreis, issued chal- lenges to all and sundry.. Sasha accepted, but on one condition; that if he wrestled with the Turk one night, the man would consent to a ten - round boxing match the follow- ing night, - The wrestling match proved a fiasco, for after the Turk had bitten through his opponent's, ear with a full set of 'gold teeth, gunplay from the spectators caused a diversion and Beduin°. disappeared from the ring, • , The challenger was all .• for leaving' town, but was persuad- ed to stay for the return match after 'an official had promised there would be no further gun- play. •Siemel won. the boxing con- test with a blow that floored the Turk and left him with a hand too badly damaged to permit of hand -shaking for some,: weeks after. With his share of the purse the winner bought a mule, and with rather malignant humour named it "Beduino"! During their travels the two brothers =-- later they parted company - learned of a dia- mond strike on the Rio Manso. They decided to go" there.

To do their daily work most men must leave home. Their wives and children ,can take no part in planning or doing it In• thousands of "families man and wife go . separate ways to their separate jobs each day,- In' a farm home the sense of real partnership can. grow. A .nan and his wife and his children can see each day's work and its results, They can plan together and really . live together, Farm-: ing° is a privilege, because the home is genuinely its center, * •. Nowhere else can children more surely grow, into good and competent adults,. Millions of times it has been truly said that• farm children benefit from their early opportunities'' to assume responsibilities, Farm young- sters can find wholesome vari- eties of gaiety that no city child knows about. They share in the care of animals, and in affec- tion for thein. They have chanc- es to get into business for them- selves, and to. learn" early that faithful' work 'pays off, * • * Farmers do not have to jam themselves into packed subways, busses, or elevated trains, twice , a day, nor drive long distances to and from their work, They _ seldom have to eat from a lunch pail, They, rarely punch a time clock, and do not have to wear numbered badges, They do not. have to pay dues to hold a job, nor go on strike at the order or some leader. No fellow, Worker scolds a farmer for do- ing too much, and. no boss be- rates him for doing too• little. Farm work is neither repeti- tive nor monotonous, The sea- sons, even the hours, vary the tasks, The man who plows, plants, and cultivates can see the tangible result of his indi- vidual effort. He knows that the more wisely he carries on his work;"the "greater will his return be,. He can enjoy a kind,of per • - sonal pride that is denied to millions who work in a mech- anical routine. • • • Those who deal with the gen- eral public," and those who are cogs in large organizations, envy a farmer for his personal inde- pendence, He may never in his life tell anyone to go to hades, but he knows he can do so with- out losing his customers or his job: He can buy where he pleases', and sell where he gets - the best deal, He enjoys more real freedom than almost any- one 'else, * * * A farmer's work is creative. He produces from soil and seed, from sun and rain : and atmos- phere, new wealth that. is necessary and useful to his fel- low • humans, The true- farmer finds much of his 'work thor• - oughly fascinating, because he can always observe, always learn, and always improve. He deals with fundamentals, * * -• •On the farm one may not grow lyrical every day at the beauty ' of sunrises and sunsets, the ex- citement of storms, and the purity of the air, Yet a]1 these do count among the compensa- tions of country living.

Dispatch. May Soon Solve Ice -Age Mystery Ho* did our ancestors survive when Arctic glaciers covered Europe 15,000 years ago? From Santander, Spain, comes word that a priest, Father Jesus Car- ballo, aged seventy-six, may soon solve this mystery. Father Carballo has spent most of his .life crawling through a maze of tunnels and caves some thirty miles south- west of Santander. on Spain's north coast. He has discovered arrow- heads, bone, implements, paint- ings on walls and other clear indications - of a , vast under- ground Ice Age .City, Some of these tunnels descend for more than a mile into the bowels of the earth, Father Carballo believes that some 13,000 years " ago wander- ing human beings found the caves and went into them for shelter. While the women re- mained in the depths below to tend the children and to make hunting weapons, the men went foraging for food, 1• AYSCIIOOi LESSON' By R, Barclay Warren The Grace of God 1 John 4:10; Ephesians 2:4-01 Titus 2:11-14. Memory Selection: Herein Y love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent HY Son to be the propitiation tae our sins. I John 4:10. Man is sinful; yes, dead in his stns, But God loves us 1n spite of our sin, So great is that love that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to save tut. We didn't deserve It but God Is rich in mercy, This is grace; the unmerited favor of God. We are not saved by joining a church nor by any works we may do. We are saved by be- lieving on Jesus Christ. It's as simple as that, Yet -the change is radical. We turn our back on ungodliness and worldly lusts and live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. We do not live as those who feel they are missing a lot, We have an upward look. "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto him- self a peculiar people, zealous of good works:" To be one of God's peculiar people does not imply • less intelligence. It is an echo of what God said concerning Israel; "Ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all peo- ple," Exodus 19:5. Jesus Christ forgives and purifies to Himself a people for his own- possession. We are peculiar in the sense that we are his particular property. He • has bought us by his own blood, Do you belong to Jesus Christ? He died that you might be His. Faith makes the contact. Good works will' follow. , - As word spread of the caves, others came and joined these men and women until there was a vastpopulation living under the mountains, Kings who sat upon stone thrones ruled the population and regular meetings took place to decide the future .moves, of these primeval people. Artists decor- ated the walls of the caves with bison and wild horse drawings. With the melting of the ice • cap, the, caves fell in after- the dwellers had moved out. The caves were first discov- ered more than 100 years ago, but lost sight of until 1880. No one took much notice of them until Father Carballo came to Santander as a young priest in 1905 and began his explorations. In April, 1952, Father Car- ballo stumbled by accident on the ancient king's throne room near Mount Castillo. Now he is going to re-enter the maze of caves in search of further proof that our ancestors sheltered here' when the world was a block of ice.
