"They instill a feeling of friendliness by in- viting other groups to visit with there, but should not leave guests to stand in groups around the door." The speaker went on to say, "Go to some- one Who doesn't make friends easily," "If you are a stranger, In town, -get into the town's activities and so be. some one of the -town."

IMPROVING AFTER ILLNESS We are glad to report on the improv- ed condition of Mrs. Walter Butte'], who for the past couple of weeks has been confined to her bed through ill- ness, She is now improving nicely and definitely on the road to complete re- covery.

Blyth Kids Still Top Dogs Walter Butell's Pee Woes are still top clogs in the local Pee Wee hockey circuit, although by this remark Walter doesn't wish to convey the impression that either he as manager; or the team, have the idea that they are invinsible. But they're getting pretty good. A couple of week -end games saw the Blyth kids chalk up two more victories. Last Friday night they scored a shut- out over their rivals from Belgrave when they won 8 to 0, High scorer for Blyth was Billy Howson with four goals.

Cormack, of Arthur, press ident of Ontario Local Unions. held a second meeting in Blyth Memorial 'Hall on Monday, February 'ith, with a much increased attendance over the previous ineeting ht.ld here. In welcoming those present, Mr, pormack said he admired a farmer who is willing to look into all sides of things and it is only ignorance that makes us afraid of things, "The Union," he stated "is a family ,organization, started by two young teen who met in Feversham, One had worked in a carpenter's union." "They had purchased farms through the Veterans' Land Act, but In 1032 prices began- to slide backwards and the same payments had to be met; su they called a meeting to try to organ- ize a Farmers' Union and 17 young men signed, up and that was the birth of the Farmers' Union In 1952. In February 1954 there were only 50 local unions in Ontario there are now 140 ' wi'th a membership exceeding 5,000 producing farmers, Mr, Cormack went on to say he hop• cd to be able to•discuss things intelli- gently, The Federation of Agriculture put him in the Union because of their inactivity. Farmers must be educated to their position compared to other people.' Everybody but farmers had an increase in 1053, and the farmers went back again in 1054, and that is reflected In a business depression, for take the fanners "spending" out of any town or village and note the drop in sales. Mr. Cormack went to Ottawa two weeks ago to discuss parity prices for farmers with every political party there. He went on to say "The fann- ers' prices are back six years. Today long loans are suggested on farms but we don't make it possible by fair prices for then' to pay these loans, The Union is not taking away from the Federation of Agriculture but we have no national farm yoice. You cannot split what you have never had. The heads of industry say sales of machin- ery were down one half in 1954 to what they were in 1952, and laid the decrease in sales to, bad wheat crop in the West, but we buy implements in Ontario too. We have to admit the Income of the farmer is down." "The reason industry does not pay any attention to Ontario farmers," con- tinued Mr. Cormack, "is that we are disorganized, The Farmers' Union is the only organization asking for Parity Prices." In a brief submitted by Mr. Cormack to the Government of Ontario at To- ronto on January 17th, 1055, we copy these submissions; "Parity prices means to establish a parity relationship between what the farmer has to sell and the commodities which they must of necessity buy." A second submission reads. "We ask the Government to give favourable consideration to having actual produc- ing farmers named to all boards or commissions set up to deal with agri• culltural problems because no one un- derstands the farmers problems as well as the actual producing farmer, and many commissions' and boards' discus- sions, quite often affect the farhihcr ei- ther directly or indirectly," Submission 3. "There is a feeling a- mong the people of this province that the spread is too great between butter and margarine and it is common know- ledge the farmers cannot produce any - cheaper than they do now. so we sug- gest the only alternative is to place a provincial tax on margarine sufficient to make its price more competitive to butter." In stmnming up Mr,_Corinack stated, "No farmer can get along on a 40 hour eek, they couldn't even get their cows milked often enough." In Ontario we often have good mar- keting plans, but because we have no organization to work through they are lost, A lively constructive question and answer period Was most educational, such as "What caused strikes such as Ford and Massey Harris?" "What per- centage of farm machinery is Govern- ment taxed?" "If labor sees union is going to benefit the farmer are they willing to co-operate?" ' These were ably answered, by Mr. Cormack wino• said in part, "We cannot upset normal trade, England is our potential market, there is a market there, but there have been no ship- ments," "80 million dollars have been given in subsidies in one year," "Low prices cause surpluses." • At the close of the meeting, almost every one present joined • the local, union, and an organization meeting will be held very shortly, MANAGER AT PCRGUS Mr, Gordon R.

Ever since my brother married his wife six years ago, she has behaved abominably. Since the first year, she has had affairs with other men, they come to,the house during the day, and se has even met them in town, She thinks she is fooling everyone. "We have been careful to treat her as though we knew nothing of all this, but we are getting fed up, I am sure Dad knows something, and we are really- terrified that Mother, who is not well, will find out. It is no use talking to my brother, He believes everything she says, and we all know she lies consistently. "All our friends are nice to her, but I expect it is because they respect our family, We were all raised to despise di- vorce, and to lead upright lives, We don't drink at all; she and my brother do, and they leave the children with anybody at any time; we are so afraid they will be taunted later on with their mother's misconduct! She has even told my sister that my brother likes other women; may- be he is no better than she is, I don't know, ''My sister and I wonder whether trying to talk to her, or to him, would help? We just don't know what to do, but we are worried sick. DESPARATE" • Under the shadow of scant, • dal and grief, you and your • family have behaved admir- • ably and with fine discretion. o Even when your sister-in-law • tried to cause trouble among • you, you held your peace, I • hope you will continue to. • It is your brother's affair, • arid anyone who tells him • about his wife (or attempts to • talk to her) will get little • thanks. Perhaps your brother • knows the truth and appears • to condone it for the chil- • dren's sake. If he should • learn it flrst from you, it be- • comes a family scandal in. • stead of his personal respon- • sibility. He is mature, and a • father. Let. him handle it in • his own way. You and your • family take your cue from o him, and be silent. • Continue to treat his wife • as though you knew nothing. • For his sake visit her, enter- • tain them all when they will • come, and be especially kind • to the children: Whatever • your brother knows or does • not know, or whatever hap- • pens, that will comfort him. • $ ° "Dear Anne Hirst: I am 10, and haven't been out witih a boy yet, About seven months ago I met this boy, and we art madly in love with each other. He has asked me to go out with him, but my parents just won't allow it. "I would love to go, of course, but I wouldn't like to hurt my parents. Can you tell me what to do? WORRIED" * Letters come to me_ from * coast to coast about this prob- lem, In most parts of .the country girls of your age are permitted to entertain boys at home, or doubly: -date them. Parents recognize that a girl needs a proper s •cial life for her normal development and pleasure, and if she has proven to be responsible in other ways they welcome boys to • the house and try to make her ' • home a meeting -place for all • her friends. • Obviously, you and this boy • could not be madly in love • unless you had been seeing • each other often. A girl who • meets a lad away from her • home is not only deceiving • her family but heading for • more trouble than she can • guess. Is that being respon- * sible? In other ways, too, per- * haps you have been so care- • less about keeping your word • that your parents realize you • are not to be trusted, - * I may be all wrong, but 1 * do urge you not to cheapen • yourself by clandestine meet- * ings, or in any other way. You • cannot openly date a boy • an irat your parents' wishes • and be playing fair — and no • matter what he tells you, he - • cannot respect you for it. It • is a frail and dangerous basis • for any healthy friendship. * Think this over. Obey your * parents, but try to win their • consent to entertaining your * friends at home, and include • this boy, If he is worth know- • ing, they may relax their rule • and help you enjoy a wider • social life. * 0 * If trouble comes to your fam- ily, stand by, and silently, with- out criticism of those involved.

Maybg those of you who still have conversion to 60 cycle ahead of you would like to know what happened. Shortly before 8 a.m., hydro trucks started rolling along the highway—I had already counted 28 before one of them turned in at our- gate. The driver came in, checked the equipment to be changed over and went away again. A little later' he came back and got to work, first on the water -pressure system, then the washing machine and finally the milker and cream separator, When he came to the milk cooler he found he had been given the wrong motor so he had to send to Toronto for the right one, About 3 o'clock another .fellow came in to change the refrigera- tor, To give him more working space I had taken out every- , thing that as movable in my pantry—or kitchenette if you prefer to call it that. The man went to work, took out all the mysterious works that make a refrigerator refrig, brought in all the new parts and then, after working for awhile, he shut up his tool box, announces, he had to get another part and would be back after awhile. That was the last we saw of him, and he had left the dis- mantled refrigerator and equip- ment,still in the middle of the floor, I should say that 'by this time we were on 60 cycle, At 9.30 the power was shut off three-quarters of an hour. When it came on again it was 60 cycle, • During the afternoon the man came back and' finished the milk cooler, so, except for the 'frig' we were all through. At 5,30 the fun began! The lights suddenly went dim. Not - out but so dim one could hardly ' see to walk around. Partner came up from the barn, "How do you like 80 cycle?" I asked. His answer is better left un- recorded. From what I could gather afterwards the hydro office was besieged with calls, ours among them, "Something had gone wrong with the temporary transformer, causing low vol- tage, It would be adjusted as soon as possible." But, while we had low voltage people to the east of us had too much—lights were blindingly bright, furnaces racing like mad and fuses blow- ing out all over the place. How- ever, about nine o'clock the trouble was adjusted, lights were normal and Partner was able to finish his milking with the aid of the milking, machine. But still the refigerator man had not returned. I wasn't too worried, thinking he would be back in the morning, After all one might expect a little incon- venience. But then a neighbor informed me the men didn't work on Saturday. I should have known it! I phoned the hydro office' and a • weary voice answered --"Let me know in the morning if he doesn't -come and we will send an emergency man out to finish the job," I was satisfied to let it :go at that, riieanwhile stepping around the refrigerator and its, cumber- some parts as 'best .I. gould, try- ing to get a little law and order into' the • place, Altogether it had been a try- ing day so : by 11 o'clock I ,was IUB' fi — 1855 dead to the world. Partner, ap- parently, was half undressed when there came a pounding at the door, and furious barking on the part of the dogs, I awoke with a start, wondering what on earth had happened. It was another hydro man ... to fin- ish the refrigerator job! Part- ner was in the middle of telling him he would have to come back in themorning when, with a hastily donned housecoat, I came out and suggested that since he was already here he might as, well stay. After that I persuaded Partner to go to bed and I stayed up. It was nearly one o'clock before the job• was done, helped along by a cup of 'hot coffee. So—that was our experience with the actual conversion job, And the results? Well, the lights are brighter; there is a differ- ent hum to the refrigerator and it ices'up less quickly—which is all to the good, All the various motors run much faster which seems to be an improvement in- sofar as the milking machine is concerned. One thing Partner ,doesn't• like is - the fact that the motors do not fit as well as the old ones. There is a shaft stick- ing out from the motor on the milking machine which gets in. ;his way. New holes had to be bored to accommodate the ,motor on the cream separator, 'which we don't think is .going .to be 'too satisfactory, One rather funny thing happened. I forgot to disconnect the kit- chen clock. When 60 cycle came on the clock started up as usual but gained 30 minutes every hour) On the whole we are very well satisfied—just so long as our bill doesn't jump 50 percent, One thing I would like to add: all the men who have come in have been as courteous and ob- liging as one could wish. Cer- tainly we have no complaints on that score, It was not the mechanic's fault he had been sent out with the wrong motor. Eager to see a big business executive, a salesman finally got past a series of secretaries, "A saleman, eh?" snorted the big exec. "Do you know that my secertaries have thrown out fif- teen salemen all ready today?" "Yes, sir," replied the sales- man. "I'm them." `fake +Ifs hasty Confessed Killing In 1027, Aparlcio Vilela, thea a minor, received an eight years and two months' sentence for the murder of his uncle, In Cam- po Belo, Brazil, Four years later, having serv- ed half of his sentence, Aparlcio was pardoned.

Now twenty seven years after his trial, the real criminal, Jose PosIdonlo, stricken by re- morse, has confessed on his deathbed to a priest that he was the murderer. The priest would not grant absolution be- fore he had confessed his crime to a judge. The judge of Campo Belo was called to the bedside of the dying man.

A little chap named Guy Rousseau, who plays junior hockey for Quebec Frontenacs, came up to Canadiens on a three -game trial. A mere 19 -year-old kid who, playing his 'first game with Can- adiens on foreign ice, and his second in the National Hockey League, it was Rousseau who slipped RIchard the workman- like pass off which he scored the big goal with 'a lightning sweep of his stick in the third period of a game at Chicago on December 18 last, When the team left Montreal, Chicago -bound Coach Dick Irvin said to Richard: "I want you to look after this little fellow Rousseau. I'm going to put him in to room with you. He's fast and ambitious, but he's shy, and it will help his complexes if he's. with you," Richard put an arm around the little fellow's shoulder and said: "You're with me kid," Rousseau's eyes fairly popped out at this sudden intimacy with a hockey great. A broad grin of 'sheer joy split his features. He and Richard palled around together, an oddly - assorted pair of buddies, from that time on. Irvin started Rousseau on the Richard-Mosdel line and kept him there much of the game. And In the third period, he flipped a smooth pass to Richard, who was skatingbehind him, and like a flash, Richard blasted the puck deep into the Chicago nets. After the goal was scored,, Canadien players hoisted Richard high on their shoulders. They planned to carry him on a complete circuit of the rink. But Richard didn't want that at all, and the players let him down. "If I had scored that goal in.Detroit or Toronto'or Mon- treal, I wbuldn't mind the boys carrying me around," said Richard later. "But it didn't mean much, scoring it against the tail -end team and I didn't like the parade idea at all. It seemed like rubbing it in." This, we thought, was nice sporting sentiment. But Richard, noted as a fierce and fiery competitor, has made similar gestures before and since. Not long ago, Richard and other Canadiens went to Ste. Anne's Hospital near Montreal to play in a softball game ,for wounded war veterans. They visited the wards afterwards; Many of the patients asked for Rocket's autograph, One who had his legs in a cast was particularly insistent, Hehad been badly wounded and his broken leg hadn't healed, Richard'obliged, then asked for his. "I should be asking you, who have done so much more than . I," said Richard, quietly. The sporting circle of the 400 -goals feat was completed when, after the Canadien club presented Richard with $2,000, he promptly turned the complete amount over to. two Mon- treal hospitals.

By F. (BO Following up on a New Tear's resolution to bring order Into our filing system, we found this story taken from The Week, May 17, 1933; Unprecedented and .widely significant is a case, just com- ing before the. Austrian courts, ariliin'g out of the alarm of the Austrian National Bank over the 'financial revolution which has brought prosperity to the little Austrian town of Worgl, and which the bank fears is going to compete with its own monopoly powers. Worgl had been moving rap- idly to bankruptcy since the be- ginning of the crisis, Its .factor - {m closed down one after -an- other and unemployment rose daily. Nobody did any business and scarcely anybody paid any fauces. When Unterguggenberger, Burgomaster of Worgl, propos-. ed the following plan which was adopted, The town authorities issued. to the value of 30,000 Austrian Schilling notes in denomina- tions of . one, five .and tcrii Schil- ling which were called tickets for services rendered, The spec- ' lam feat J re of these notes ' was thefact that they decreased in value by one per cent every month. , , Anyone holding one of these notes at the end of the month - had to buy fromthe local au- thorities a stamp of sufficient value to bring the note up to face value. This he affixed to the back of the note, . and the LOOK A -HEAD'— Thls intriguing hairdo was 'featured in a West Berlin, Germany, coiffure . con- test. The tall sone of Imitation hair 1s trimmed with rhinestones and tetltd'op.pea•rts. B) VON PILIS proceeds of the stamp went ,to . the poor relief fund. ' ' The result was that the notes circulated'' with unheard of. rapidity. They were first, used for the payment of wages , for the building of streets, drainage and other public works by•men who would otherwise been; un- employed. 'On the day when the new notes were used eighteen. hundred schilling 'worth were paid 'out. The recipients immediately hurried with them to the shops, and the shopkeepers and mer- chants hastened, to use•them for the payment of their tax to the. municipality. The municipality immediately used them to •pay, the bills. Within 24 hours of be- ing issued the greater part of this money had already been passed on its way again, During the first month, the money had made the complete circuit no less than 20 times, There was no possibility of • anyone avoiding the one per cent stamp tax on any note he happened to hold at the end of the month, since without a stamp to bring it up to face value, the note lost its entire value. Within the first four months after the issue of' the new mon- ey, the town had accomplished public works to the ,value of, 100,000 schillings, A large . pro- portion of ' tax .arrears had al- ready been paid off and there were even cases of people pay- ing taxes in advance. Receipts of back taxes were eight times greater than in the past before the introduction of new money; Unemployment is now reduced enormously, the shopkeepers are prosperous, The fame of the' Worgl mir- acle ' spread, Irving Fisher, American economist, sent a commission of enquiry to Wor- gl, and the system has been in- troduced in a score or more of ' American townships. The Austrian National Bank however was -highly disturbed by the whole proceeding, Now Unterguggenberger is being brought before the courts to ex- plain himself and `HS plan. This is . the press report. Noth- ing' could be found about the outcome of the court proceed Ings or the results of the' Amer- . • ican experiments with the Wor- gl system.

Further than that, This man who has outdistanced all others in the most vital - of departments in any sport - scoring --alas had to settle for second place, on the NHL all-star team ,the past four seasons, It has been recorded that Toe. Blake, . Richard's teammate on the Montreal Canadiens' famous "Punch ' Line" of Blake-Lach- Richard, • once said 'of The Rocket: "Maurice lives to score goals!" Truly the ' explosive Richard is an intense, fiery athlete whose pride of performance drives him to, keep up his tremendous scor- ing pace, Hockey players are normally slow to unwind from tithe speed and excitement of a game. It helps' explain in part the more than $1,000 The Rocket has had to pay in flines over the years, But back to the scoring. In -his 12 -plus seasons in the National Hockey League, The Rocket has poured more than 400 goals past rival netminders. The almost unbelievable No, 400 came last Dec, 18 in a game at Chicago. You get an idea of ' the stature of Richard's feats from time fact • that only one other player in hockey history has passed the 300 -goal mark;' Nems Stewart of the old Mon- treal and Boston teams had 324. 'Yet because the scoring title is based on goals and assists — one point each — Richard has never w o n that individual honor. During the years he has been in the league that honor has gone to Doug Bentley of Chi- cago, Montreal linemate Elmer ,Lesch (twice), Herbie Cain of Boston, Max, Bentley of• Chicago (twice), Roy Conacher of Chi- cago, Ted LIndsay of Detroit and Gordle Howe of Detroit, Howe has won the title the 1st four years and also the Hart Trophy as the league's mos t valuable player in 1952 and 1953, This goes a long way to- ward explaining why Richard has not been on the NHL all - stat team since 1950 Both Howe and Richard are right wingers. Now Comes Boom Boom A further look at the right wing situation unveils one Boom Boom Geoffrion — teammate of Richard's at Montreal who this year has been setting a goals - scored and total points pace well ahead of both Richard and Howe. The way the youthful Boomer is playing he may push both Richard and Howe off the all-star team. • Over the last few years Howe has been setting a more blis- tering goals -scored 'pace against rival goalies than the veteran Rocket — with Geoffrion not far behind. There may even come a time when they, along with a player such as Detroit's Ted Lindsay, also will join the ex- clusive 300 -goal circle. Perhaps: Howe and Geoffrion will some day even challenge Rocket's "400" pinnacle. But such an eventuality is still a lot of ice. away, Richard is there and he made it in specta- cular, explosive fashion.

TABLE TALKS clam Andrews The proper way to fry chicken is it point that our cousins south of the border have been argu- ing about for untold years — an argument that will never be settled. I'm not going to take sides or express a personal pref- erence — but just pass along recipes for "Southern Fried," "Maryland Style' and a couple of others. • • • Southern style is the fried chicken most people below the Mason-Dixon Line prefer, Other methods call for an egg -and - crumb coating, cheese coating, batter coating, dipping in cream Or milk before coating, to name a few. Perhaps the most frequently used spice for seasoning fried or sauteed chicken is blacka er p Pp . because it gives a flavor boost to the bland chicken which is not lessened by the cooking pro- cess, Pepper should be added to the flout before coating, and gravy, also, is improved by the addition of this spice. If you like unusual spices with your chicken, try curry, thyme, rose- mary, or basil—just a pinch, re- member—or add minced onion, chives, shallots, or garlic. Al- ways add these taste additions with a light touch, testing to see when you have exactly the right amount. 0 • • If you like, serve your fried or sauteed chicken with fluffy white rice, with Spanish rice, or with your own variation of the rice that goes best with chicken. Southern Fried Chicken 234 pound frying chicken, cut into serving pieces s/4 cup flour 2 teaspoons salt '% teaspoon ground black pepper t/ cup (or more) shortening Wash chicken and, while damp, dredge each piece in the flour to which salt and pepper have been added, Heat shorten- ing in heavy skillet (some people WALKING NEST - This French Moroccan actor wears a.bird In his turban while. palying a part In the movie called "Oasis," The film/ is the first made as a joint project of °French and .German companies. e NO CAT "NIP" FOR HIM—"Monty," the lion, spikes all reports that he's a beer drinker.

Goudge, went , to take her washing from the line, she found that two sheets, 'a dress, an apron, tea towels and four large dusters, had provided an appetiser. for Daisy, a cow. Cows are ostrich -like in the articles they will eat, In the American Veterinary Medical Association Journal, Dr, Harold Cooper advises farmers to feed two-inch magnets to their cows.

However, if this is not feasible, you can get a pretty good idea of how a paper will look like by laying two strips together in the studio, For example, on a small sam- ple an uplifted branch may be quite inoffensive, but rising branches repeated all over the. room may be anything but rest - full And again, in a small piece, the size of the pattern may ap- pear to be what it isn't; for, in general, 'a small sample will ap- pear much more positive than the completely papered wall. A large pattern isn't neces- sarily . overwhelming, if the color contrast isn't . too strong or the outline too sharp. Often a ..large' pattern recedes, on the wall to a surprising extent. I saw a perfect example of this not long ago, A landscape paper with a rather large motif was used in a smallish hall in an old house; but the colors were so soft and blended so well with the neutral background, and the perspective was so good that one didn't, think of it . as a large' pattern at all, writes Ethel M, Eaton in The Christian Science Monitor, It is well to remember when choosing wallpaper that any pattern that covers the back- Lai•Afns, kg w °Awe4,114, h .$0++4 , Mix and sift into a bowl, 1M c. once -sifted pastry flour (or 1; c. once -sifted all-purpose flour), 3 tsps.

If you are counting on wallpaper to give your room character and interest, It would be well to choose a clearly de- fined , pattern which stands out either. through color contrast with the background or by large open spaces surrounding it — no shadowy outlines here! And there are color pitfalls to be guarded against when se- lecting wallpaper; the same col- or will look different in dif- ferent surroundings, A soft yel- low, for instance, will look washed-out under a cold light; the same color in a sunny room will gain intensity. • The 'accentuation of color is also true of the cold shades, Blues and grays will be cooled by nbrth or tree -shaded light,. while a warm light will streng- then them, For sunny rooms, choose cool backgrounds — green, blue or gray — with the design in the paper supplying touches of a warmer color — yellow, pink, peach, etc. In rooms on the cold side of the house,use papers with warm backgrounds, such as deep yellow, tan, peach, or ivory, to get effect of warmth. A delightful room in a little country inn comes to mind. The walls are plain soft beige, while the ceiling is papered with the gayest of gay chintz patterns — rioting red roses on a beige background, The effect is one of welcome, warmth, and cheer.

A large quantity of corn or cereal grass In the ration will result in dark coloured yolks, An excess of highly col- oured feed such as grass, may result in yolks of such dark col- our as to be unacceptable to the consumer. ' • • • The environment of the lay- - ing hen is invariably reflected in egg quality, Hens kept in clean surroundings with lots of fresh air, water, and good feed, will produce eggs of better. qual- ity than hens kept in a dirty environment, lacking clean wa- ter and forced to forage for their food, The consumption of dirty, decaying food is reflected in poor quality a n d off -flavour eggs. • • • Most poor quality eggs pro- duced as a result of poor breed- ing and feeding are removed In the grading and candling pro- cess. Poor quality eggs reach- ing the consumer's table are generally the result of poor han- dling after the eggs are pro- duced, Failure to cool eggs pro- perly and keep them under re- frigeration, is the major cause of loss of quality from the nest to the table, Eggs held in an unfavourable environment tend to become watery, with sof t spreading albumen, flat yolks and stale odours.

Cartoons are from AAA's "Sportsman- like Driving." Rate your own "accident proneness" by scoring your- self zero to five on the following habits: ( ) I boast of breaking traffic laws, ( •) I race with drivers on the highway. ( ) I'II break a traffic law on a dare. ( ) I demand the right-of-way whether I need it or not, ( ) I beat everyone away from the stop -light. ( ) 1 show my dust to smaller and older cars. If you score yourself zero you're a good driver. Up to six points makes you a repulsive driver. Six to 12 points makes you a repulsive driver who'll be dead within six months. Over 12 points means you should have been a dead repulsive driver six months ago and are just living on borrowed time, TEMPERI TEMPERI Over -emotional drivers who lose their tem• pers lack presence of mind in emergencies, are accident prone. Are YOU in This Contest? 'The Prize Is Highway Death! By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent Will you be "Mister Repulsive of the Road for 1955?" It's ridiculously easy to get in on this great contest which was so popular in 1954, Just . observe the following simply rules, and if your men- tality is warped in this direction improvise from there: 1, Be the complete egotist. Cut in close after passing. Never signal when stopping, Park double, Use "pull" to fix a traf- fic ticket. 2. Be the show-off. Prove to everyone on the road how much horsepower your car has. Pass. all possible cars on hills to prove how lucky you are, Go through red lights with a gay air of bravado. 3. Be over -emotional, Lack presence of mind in emergen- cies. Lose your temper with any driver who challenges your right to the middle of the road? Cuss out traffic officers. 4, Be a rationalizer. Figure out how every other driver is wrong but you. Explain why all traf- fic signs are wrong, Tell your- self that speed limits are for the other guy, not you, 5, Never be thwarted. Get even with drivers who pass you. Make pedestrians jump for safe- ty, Beat a guy into a parking place which he found before you. *4. * * Beauty of this contest is that every conscientious entrant can be a winner. The prize, natural- ly, is glorious death on the road, Your family and any number of innocent by-standers might be prize -winners along with you. As a bonus you'll be immor- tally enshrined as a traffic sta- tistic for 1955. Last year there were 36,000 winners. Will we beat it this year? These charming' personality characteristics which give a person a head -start toward hav- ing an automobile accident have been isolated by the American Automobile Association and are revealed in a brand new edition of the book "Sportsmianlike Driving." It explains: "The psychologist, the physi- cian, the judge, the. traffic en- gineer, and the enforcement offi- cial have all been studying what it is in a person's make-up that gets him into traffic troubles, It is found that some drivers are much mote likely than others to , have accidents. They are called 'accident-prone.' Their wrong at- titudes and their emotional weaknesses make them bad risks as drivers." The book makes these recom- mendations on how to handle such people: "1. Sort , obi accident-prone drivers and revoke their driving privileges until their weaknesses are corrected. "2. Test drivers for certain mental and emotional weakness- es before they have accidents, "3, Show individuals how to recognize and correct traits in themselves that cause accidents," ,On the other hand, AAA claims, if you're not the type to qualify for the "repulsive driv- er" contest, you probably possess the qualities usually found in top-notch drivers, In that case you accept re- sponsibility. You have self-control. You show good sportsmanship. You display forethought. You control your attention. You show good judgment. You have a good sense of hu- mor. "He was expecting you—he just left!" He Believed In Miracles The Story Of 0 Famous Author Lloyd C. Douglas died on February 13th, 1951, in a Los Angeles hospital, and almost the last thing he did was to tell a funny story to the hospital or- derly who wheeled a tank of oxygen to his bedside. He was a story -teller to the last, and the world lost a great novelist when heart trouble took him off at the age of seventy-three, Yet it wasn't until he was fifty-two that he wrote his first novel. He had been a clergyman up till that time. Swift fame came to him as a novelist, and it is rather ironical that, since his death, his fame has spread even farther. The sheer chance that his book, "The Robe," should be chosen as the first film to be made in Cinema - Scope brought his name into focus, Now filmgoers can see an- other of his books on the screen, with the general release of "Magnificent Obsession." It is the second time this story has been filmed. It was produced for the first time in 1937, with Irene Dunne as the feminine star, and it turned Robert Tay- lor into a leading dramatic act. or. Jane Wyman and Rock Hud- son play these roles in the new production. Lloyd Douglas wrote roman- tic stories about miracles. This, no doubt, was because he was a man who believed in miracles. But his own story was as ro- mantic as ,anything he ever wrote, It was extraordinary from start to flnish, and "Mag- nificent Obsession" was the most dramatic chapter in it. He had written articles and texts before this, but he had never thought of writing fic- tion. He had two reasons for writing "Magnificent Obses- sion;' One was to amuse him- self while taking a holiday. The other was the hope that it . might earn him a little money. He needed the money badly enough, As a clergyman, he had always found it difficult to make both ends meet, especially with a wife and two children, His daughters recollect his once re- marking: "If you are ever cur- ious to know what kind of a place hell is, accumulate a mis- cellaneous assortment of un- pald bills!" ' His hope was more than ful- filled. "Magnificent Obsession" darned him a fortune and turn- ed him into one of America's highest-paid writers, How the novel came to be written is a story in itself. It began when he read a news- paper report of a doctor who died from a heart attack when the machine which he always kept handy in case of such at- tacke was being used to revive a drunken playboy who had fal- len into a lake. Douglas based a sermon on this report. He then wrote up the sermon as an essay under the cumber- some title of "Personality Ex- pansion Through Self -Invest- ment in Philantropic Rehabili- tation of Other People's Lives." Which was not exactly a best- selling title! When he wrote his novel, using the theme as a . plot, he first of all called it "Salvage," and It was not until it was' accepted for publication that it became "Magnificent Obses- sion" It was rejected by publisher after published, One top pub- lisher sent it back with the comment that it possessed a great message, but that its fic- tional value was negligible. An- other equally eminent publish= er turned it down because he didn't like the message, al - thought he though the story value was good, Eventually, in desperation, Douglas sent the book to. a small firm, Willet, Clark and Colby, which specialized In pub - lisping Sunday - school texts. And it was accepted. Neither Douglas nor the publishers ex- pected large sales, and they didn't even bother to sign a contract, No one even expected the initial edition of 2,500 cop- ies to be sold out, and no at- tempt was made to'interest the general fiction -reading public in it. The first edition sold more rapidly than had been antici- pated. So a second edition of 1,500 was printed. It went in no - time. So did a third edition of 5,000. The sales snowballed at an astonishing rate. Orders began to flood in. The small publishing firm couldn't cope. There was one period when every member of the firm, from managing - director down to the office boy, working right into the early hours of the night, struggling to the books out, In the end the task proved too much, and the printing rights had to be farm- ed out. Sales went up and up and up, until they topped the two -mil- lion mark, and at no time was there any from of advertising or publicity, Readers discovered the book for themselves. The middle-aged clergyman became famous. Other novels flowed from his pen, many of which were filmed. "The Robe" provided one of the oddest quirks of all to the Lloyd Douglas story. He was paid $75,000 for the film rights on it before he had even com- pleted the story, and when the picture was first visualized, Douglas and the producers agreed on the form its treat- ment should take. "We have agreed," Douglas announced, "that 'The Robe' shall be made as an intimate picture." If only he could have seen how it fi- nally reached the screen! As with the publication of "Magnificent Obsession," it looked for a long time as though "The Robe" might never reach the screen. Production was orig- inally planned for 1944, but it was postponed. at least a d9ieB times, Three different directors were signed for it. The purchas- ing studio eventually sold the rights to 20th Century -Fox, and the film was not made until after Douglas' death, Douglas was so disgusted with the way Hollywood treated him over this picture that he stipu- lated that his next novel, "The Big Fisherman," was never to. be filmed, broadcast or serial- ized. Which, in some ways, L a pity, because many .people consider it to be the best of his novels, PIN PAL—Craig Steen, 7, has ne bowling pins to spare as he strikes It rich in a give-away� program at a local bowling al- ley.
