For the past 15 years or so, she has made a living for herself and her invalid husband by making braided rugs. She makes the braids by hand, too.

(BOB) VON PILLS Approval of the 11/2 per cent deduction from all payments by the Ontario Whole Milk Pro- ducers Association practically assures the establishment of the proposed equalization fund. Cream producers and cheese milk producers already have adopted the plan and undoubted- ly concentrated milk producers will do the same at their an- nual meeting in February. It is these three groups that stand to gain most by co-ordinating the sale of milk and milk products. Milk Pool The funds collected by this levy will include the set-aside used in recent years for nation- al advertising. The main pur- pose, however, will be the mar- keting of milk and milk . prod. ucts if and when they are in surplus, With several million dollars at their disposal, the dairy farm- ers of Ontario will have consid- erable influence on market trends. After this first start of co-ordinating their actiyities, they will soon find that the na- tural next step is the pooling of their milk and the expansion CONCRETE SOLUTION TO PARKING PROBLEM—Construction work- er Leo Haynes has the derrick man lower the bpom on Officer Ted Harter, left, just as Haynes' parking -meter time runs out.

It has always been the opinion of this writer, even at the time when he was a whole milk ship- per himself, that a milk pool is the only solution of the market- ing problems largely created by the present division of cow, milking farmers in four groups. Pooling will eliminate the dumping of any surplus of one group into the market of an- other. Eventually it will also lead to an equalization of the returns farmers receive for their milk whether it goes into butter, cheese, a tin or a bot- tle. Little Difference There is very little difference in the costs of producing milk except those caused by health regulations and geographical lo- cation. As far as health goes, we could never understand why such stringent regulations were prescribed for milk ' being sold in a bottle while at thesame time consumers are permitted to swallow. uncontrolled numbers of bacteria and the occasional dab of manure intheir butter or cheese. We do hope to see the day when 'every milk pro- ducing farmer will be compelled to keep his barn and cows clean, not to speak of the , milking utensils, Geographical location, of cource, has quite a bearing on costs and it stands to reason that a farmer in Temiskaming will run into more expense feed- ing his cows than his colleagues in Western Ontario. Zoning and Grading If milk for the, bottle has to come from barns with concrete floors, " milk for butter and cheese should too. The same principle applies to ' cooling of milk or cream. A bacillus is still a bacillus and has the same effect whether It comes on the table in a bottle or on a dish. No farmer, presently .shipping to a creamery, a cheesery or a concentrated milk plant, will ob- ject to putting concrete floors in his barn or installing a milk cooler provided he gets paid ac- cordingly. We suggest that zoning of the province according to costs of production areas and payment to producers based on grades should be studied by .1 arm or- ganisations with a view to an early implementation of the plan, ating by signs,and gestures, they got a share of the game loaded on his horse, and is return help- ed to guide him back to camp. Another time, on a rhino -bag- ging expedition in East Africa, he was breaking up camp when suddenly a huge rhino approach- ed. This was the moment he had always feared, for if it at- tacked, his native boys would all run off and then the young rhino they had captured might escape with the intruder. But by now he had learnt how to treat rhinos. He just walked towards it and roared at it at the top of his voice. It started, stood still, then turned and went off at full speed, His boys laughed with relief. He gives a breath -taking ac- count of rhino -netting in "Ani- mals My Adventure." He heard a young bull breaking through the jungle in front of him, then something reddish - grey came rushing at him pell-mell, pitch- ing one of his native boys into the thorns at his side. Seeing it gallop away and about to break out beyond the nets set to trap it, he raced .to cut it off. Like lightning it galloped back, ran its head into the meshes, and was caught, - But the net slid away; the rhino jerked itself from under- neath and was almost free. Ole - sen, a fellow -hunter as strong as a bear, jumped on it, throw- ing his arms round its neck. It gave a loud squeak and carried him away with it. Quickly Heck ran to his aid, holding fast to a hind leg. Then everyone rush• ed up, rolled with the rhino in a cloud of dust, and finally se- cured it. Another time a young rhino rushed at Heck, full of rage, He threw himself on it, clutched it round the neck, and held on, Furiously it aimed at him with head and horns. He had to duck right down to the ground. It dragged him against the walls of .thorn; but he hardly noticed the tears and bleeding wounds. Half lying on the earth, hey gripped the fat, smooth neck yet more tightly and received some hefty kicks in the stom- ach. The rhino began giving out penetrating squeaks, cries to its mother for help. What if a ' grown ' rhino .came on the scene and attacked? Heck's boys, holding ropes, stood about idly to see the outcome of the strug- gle. Not until he roared at them did they decide to give a hand, grab the rhino's hind legs, and secure it. _ One day nineteen giraffe, in- cluding several young, came close to the camp, Heck's party edged them out of the dense bush and stony hills towards the clear plain; then the chase be- gan. with the hunters racing .af- ter them on horses. A gigantic bull was the llrst to be caught up; horse and rider reached only to the belly, and one could easily see under it. The horse shot past, caught up some cows, then went after the young ones at the head of the herd. Running beside a calf a hunter quickly slipped a leather noose over its head. The calf galloped on another twenty yards, then slowed down. The man sprang from the sad- dle, held 'the giraffe fast, was pulled to and fro as it bucked and - shied, Eventually it was heaved and pushed into a lorry, then coralled behind wire net- ting, but in the night managed to squeeze under the network and had ,day escape. With others they better luck; on their best they caught three. Heck once saw two bull gir- affe fighting. They did not face each other, but stood close to- gether striking each:other side- ways violently with the pro- tuberances of their heads. The noise could be heard a long way off, and soon one of them moved away exhausted, An amusing young animal was a tame ostrich given them by a sawmill owner's wife, In the cool of the evening it would dance grotesquely, making strange leaps, twirling round flapping Its wings, zigzagging between the tents, lifting its long legs in a ridiculous goose- step. Dr. Heck also had some peril- ous -encounters with gorillas, A big one in captivity suddenly attacked an assistant keeper, seizing his leg, throwing him down, then standing threaten- inly over him. He had difficul- ty in pushing the black giant away with a stick that gave elec- tric shocks. It would have gone ill with hint had not a chimp come to his aid and hit out at the gor• illa's back, with a stentorian shout. This diverted its atten- tion, and the keeper was rescued — with w dislocated knee -joint, ,Lucky Steeplejack There can't be many luckier men than Vincent McNelis, of Philpinstone Lane, Bo'ness, in Scotland? He is an ace among steeple- jacks. All over the world he has done steeplejack jobs -- Pakis- tan, Australia, Africa. And he has had three remarkable es- capes from what seemed cer- tain death, The first escape was when he was working on a 100 -foot chimney in London, For once he was at the bottom. A heavy tool was dropped from the top. It fractured his skull in two places. IIe recovered! The second time was at the top of a power station chimney , in Poole, Dorset, He stepped on the hoist and prepared to be lowered gently down, The cables tangled, slipped, and the hoist plummeted straight down 280 feet. Yet under the heap of wreckage Vincent was found alive. He had landed on his feet. His left heel bone was in 15 pieces. His right foot was smash- ed, His third escape was in Aus- tralia, where he fell off the top of a chimney, Once again he was taken to hospital. The fall cost him a broken pelvis and a cracked spine. But he climb- ed the same chimney again in three months although he was still encased in plaster. .Vincent is a man with pluck. Now he has left Bo'ness again and has flown to Pakistan, "This time it's only a wee chim- ney we're building -130 feet," he says. FAIR OFFER "Your daughter is an incur- able flirt," complained the young man to the wealthy industrialist. "I admit that I was poor when I married her, but does that give her the right to carry on—to tell lies—to insult me in the pres- ence of my friends?" The . industrialist pondered a moment: "My boy," he said, "you are perfectly ,right. You have only to say the word and I'll disinherit her." SALLY'S SAIItES oft "You've always said you loved me.

Johnson, editor of Prairie Far- mer and president of American Country Life Association, de- clared, He believes farmers must set aside materialism as their basic purpose and begin to see their responsibility as fitting into a larger purpose , ," * • * The great weakness of our free enterprise system is that most of its goals are materialis- tic in nature. An ever improv- ing standard of living based on higher income will yield certain nonmaterial by-products, such as better education, better health, maybe more leisure time. But for a great many peo- ple, fanners not excepted, it becomes a rat -race, a chain re- action of creating material wants and then trying to satisfy them. There is no true happi- ness traveling this dead-end road, as we can see from look- ing around us. • . • Why have we done so well in production of food and so poorly, in the production of sen- timents and traditions that con- stitute the art of rural living? Our ,churches should hold an important key, but their influ- ence in the rural field appears to have declined. Our universi- ties and lesser schools have vast programs, but few clear ideas. Our extension services have been successful in promoting scientific agriculture but weak in promoting the art of graceful living. • • • If our principal satisfactions lie beyond material things, it will be easier to convert energy an.; productive power, over and beyond that needed for a satis- factory standard of living, into land conservation for the future or the manufacture of neigh- borliness and cultural satisfac- tions. • • • There should be something different about living in the country, whether or not you are by vocation a tiller of the soil, Country life should give a wid- er choice as to .how and where each person may seek his par- ticular success in life. It should give us more leisure and greater freedom of choice in using it, It should permit better devel- opment of family solidarity. It should give us a better chance to study the footprints of God, if for no other reason than the ground ' is not so cluttered with footprints of frantic people, We should, in the country, be pro- ducing more than our share of music, painting, sculpture, all the fine arts.

Lovely Jane Digby, daughter of buccaneering sea -dog Admir- al Digby, was one of the most headstrong, passionate beauties who ever lived. Brought up at Holkham Hall, Norfolk, she was married off at sixteen • to the blase, cynical Lord Ellenborough, who quick= ly left her to her own devices. In rakish, Regency London she fell in love with a dashing Prince Felix Schwarzenberg, followed him hotfoot to Paris, and lived with him there for two years. By the time Ellenborough di- vorced her this affair had run its course. She had others, with the novelist Balzae and with King Ludwig I of Bavaria, then married a Bavarian nobleman, Baron von Venningen, met the Byronic Greek Count Theotoky and fell headlong in love with him. When the Venningens left for their Baden estates Theotoky stayed nearby at Heidelberg, and the lovers went on . secret rides through the forests. One night the' suspicious husband galloped after them, challenged the Count to a duel on the spot and seriously wounded him with the first shot. Dramatically, Jane held him in her arms to die. But mirac- ulously he 'recovered, and when the Baron had freed her, mar- ried her and whisked her off to Athens. In 13ripands' Camp Here there was a rumoured affair with King Otho, a fran- tic one with a fierce Albanian general, Hadji-Petros. Lesley Blanch says in her irresistibly fascinating • book, "The Wilder Shores of Love," that• she fled with him to the •mountains, sleeping in camp surrounded by his brigands, sharing their reck- less adventures and hardships until the Greek Queen, who was 'jealous of Jane,' interposed and relieved Hadji-Petros of his command. It was the end when the dashing brigand turned syco- phant and wrote the Queen say- ing: "If I am the woman's lover it is not for love's sake, but purely for self-interest,. She is wealthy, I am not." With her maid, Jane packed up and made for Syria. She planned to visit Baal - beck, Jerusalem, Palmyra, and track down the ancient Queen Zenobia's, legendary kingdom, but within a month was involv- ed with a handsome young Arab, Salih, who swept her off her feet and into the black Be- douin tents of his desert tribe. Again she had found the per- fect love. They 'would marry and live in perpetual bliss. Romantic Desert Daps But first she had to see ruined ` Palmyra, and it was while negotiating ' for a camel caravan to take her across the desert that she met in Damas- cus the Sheik Abdul Medjuel, whose tribe controlled the des- ert around Palmyra, and who, it 'was suggested, should act as her guide, since Salih could not accompany her into rival terri- tory. This chieftain with the glit- tering black eyes was intrigued by the beautiful Englishwoman. With him it was probably love at first sight, and very early he sensed that, although it was unheard of that he, a Moslem Sheik, should consider marry- ing a Christian, he would have to take the drastic step. When the caravan was at- tacked by robber horsemen ' brandishing spears, he rallied his men and routed them at the point of his lance. And Jane, who loved drama and was her- self an amazon rider, found the incident exciting. Was not Med- juel brave as a lion, a hero, her saviour? There was a ten- derness in her that led him to hope, , . Meantime, she went back to Athens to wind up her affairs, and on her return renewed her romantic explorations with an- other Sheik, El Barrak, spend- ing romantic days and njghts in the desert with him, This was enough for Medjuel. Hear- ing that they were riding to= wards Damascus, he swooped to meet her ... and El Barl'alc tactfully withdrew. Soon Jane saw' in Medjuel all the qualities she had sought in other men. He was a man of kindness, honour — and roman- tic passion. During her absence he had divorced his Arab wife who had borne him sons. Now he was free to marry Jane on her own European terms. As they rode towards Palmyra once more, they kissed. They mar- ried at Horns, where he owned a house, but preferred living in desert tents. Jane shared both, and later built a fine house on the out- skirts of Damascus. She adopted Arab ways, smoked a hookah pipe, went barefoot, wore the traditional blue robe and yash- mak, kohled her eyelids, be- came one 'of the tribe, mastered dromedary -riding, raced at the head of the Bedouins, and won their admiration and .respect. When rival tribes , swooped to snatch their best cattle and to kill, she and Medjuel galloped at the head of their men to battle with them. One action was waged for three weeks. Holo Pasha attacked their camp with a force ninety - strong at. dead of night, but Medjuel and Jane fought and routed them. In fierce inter -tribal warfare over pasturage and trading con- cessions, Medjuel's men suffer- ed' great losses in men and cat- tle, their camps were sacked, And it was rumoured that Jane, fighting beside him, had been killed. But she rode, back to Damascus by Medjuel's side in triumph—to read her own obit- uary notices in the European press. When Damascus was an in- Perna during the massacre of Christians in 1859, Jane went alone' through the city, to do what she could to turn the tide of carnage, and neither she nor her house were touched—a re- markable tribute to her stand- ing among the Arabs, Miss Blanch says she was happy, fulfilled, in this desert and Damascan life, but it was no serene idyll. There were lovers' quarrels, reconciliations, jealousies, part-. ings, snatched honeymoon , jour- neys alone together in the desert silences. - 'They had a pact, instigated by Jane, that if at any time Medjuel felt constrained by European monogamy he was free to take another wife—but she must be kept at a distance, and Jane' must never know. In time his occasional ab- sences and bazaar gossip tor- mented her bitterly, and there were scenes. On her side, dark hints surrounded the name of Sheik Fares El Meziad, for she remained a fatally attractive woman into her sixties. But the marriage lasted to -the end. Medjuel was so appalled at the gloom of her Christian funeral that he hurled himself from the carriage and took to his heels like a madman. As the service was ending he gal- loped back to the open grave on her favourite black mare, to pay a last tribute to the woman he had loved. Miss Blanch writes . as vividly of other famous women who lived for adventure and love. - I was disqualified from a jitterbug contest because one of my feet accidentally touched the floor. —Dennis Day. Underground River 2,000 Feet Down • Then I understood; though the cave came to an end, a tunnel opened at its farthest and low- est extremity. It was a black* gaping orifice, toward which the shining strips drew me on, I entered the tunnel. Its pro- portions were on the same scale as those of the cave — 10 yards high, and 20 to 40 breadth. I took' the time and the altimeter reading, scribbled for a moment in my damp notebook and set off briskly on ,Mairey's tracks. The huge tunnel ran on to the northwest, in a perfectly straight line. Half a dozen trains could have been driven through it abreast. , . . Two hundred yards down the tunnel, he was waiting for me. "Can you hear it?" he asked, I had to listen very carefully in order to work out where the noise came from, for the rum- bling seemed to issue from the whole rocky wall. In fact, it was coming from underneath us. "It's the river," Andre said. Parallel to it, the tunnel ran on, and we set off down it again, A little farther on, amid scatter- ed rocks, the water suddenly ap- peared. In a few steps, we had passed from a dry gallery to the banks of a big subterranean stream , After half an hour's straight- forward progress down this ex- traordinary tunnel, we stopped at 12:45 p.m. on the edge of a wide, calm, greenish pool. Prob. ing beyond this small lake, our lamps picked out the dark circle of the tunnel which seemed to stretch on ahead forever. I lit my last flare, anal, turning the handle, shot a few feet of film. Andre took advantage of the light to survey, the tunnel as far as he could see; he report- ed that It went on exactly as before. It was •p very great sacrifice for us to turn back on our tracks. We reconciled ourselves to it only because of the waiting men on the surface, who would be getting anxious about our long silence. But it was tough! Ac- cording to our calculations, based on altimeter readings, we were about 2,000 feet underground, and more than a mile, as the crow flies, from the end of the cable, We Had brought off a tremen- dous success. For we had really reached the base of the great limestone mountain mass, and were now at the point where, on a gently inclined plane, it rested on the underlying car- boniferous schist. Almost for certain, from now onward, there would be no more shafts; only a succession of galleries leading, very likely, to the Kakouetta gorge, 31 miles away, and an- other 2,000 ' feet lower down. What a potholer's dream it was to enter the heart of a mounain at the top, and come out again 4,000 feet lower down, having traversed the whole mountain mass within! The realization of this dream probably lay in front of us. And yet we had to turn back. Not only were we leaving off an intoxicating task of ex- ploration; we were still con- fronted with the exhausing climb back to camp, and all the hazards of ascent up the per- pendicular shaft, — From "Caves of Adventure," by Haroun Taz- ieff.

Yes, it has been cold — but we were afraid to wish for a .change in the weather in case it might be for the worse! You never know, we might get a storm from the east and be snowed in — and then what? Even though the high- way is cleared, there is still one's own lane to contend with. What with one thing and an- other, last week was quite a week. While it was so intensely cold, Partner developed an acute attack of neuritis. One day we had to get someone in to help at the barn with the chores, espe- cially as a young heifer chose that day to have her .first calf. However, mother and son carne throught all right and Partner -has more or less returned to normal, Saturday Bob and Joy were here for supper, Bob looked over all the 60.cycle motors and was satisfied they were all in good running order. It comes in handy sometimes having a mechanically -minded person in the family. He also brought along some kind of stuff for my car that acts as a cleaner and conditioner for the motor, On Sunday, Dee, Arthur and Dave arrived for a short visit, Dave made good use of his legs, exploring every nook and cor- ner and going about a mile a minute. He just loves the dogs and the dogs are equally de- lighted to have hien around. But we couldn't make a fuss of him at all, as he was far too busy to want to be bothered with his grandparents, •The pump handle in the kitchen was a great at- traction. He also thought it a good , idea to squeeze his way into inaccessible places—behind the chesterfield and under the coffee table and chairs. We brought out his Christmas - present, kiddie -car, •but he is still a little too small for it. 'So, not being able to ride it proper- ly Dave decided it was more fun to carry it around, This he did until he got tangled up in the pedals and fell over it a few times. As the weather was still very cold yesterday, they started .for home before dark. Just a short visit but long enough for us to keep track of our grandson's 'development, Well, now — that always helps!

In response to reports that she's another Marilyn Monroe, Mamie says: "I'm keeping my mouth shut in cheesecake photos until they quit saying such things." nations are anxious for a world at peace. We get very weary of continual . conflict, which, it would seem, should be avoid- able among civilized people. And yet there is hardly a period in history without its record of war, either on land or at sea. War between nations is bad enough but, asI said before, we can be thankful civil war is a thing of the past, insofar as ' English-speaking nations are concerned. Civil wars ceased as people came to have a better understanding of the problems affecting both sides.._ Maybe global war will likewise cease when international problems are more clearly understood. And contributing towards this better understanding is the Wo- men's Institute of Canada. That one really appreciates in read- ' ing through that excellent lit- tle magazine "For Home and Country" especially in regard to International Day. programmes. Many branches report addresses by New Canadians at their meetings, - I do hope every W.I. member takes time to read " Home and Country' from cover to cover. It •is packed full of worthwhile information. "Here and There With the Institutes" is a chal- lenge in itself. You scan it hastily at first, seeking the name of your own branch, ,If it isn't there you ask yourself why. "Could jt be that our Branch was not cohsidered worthy of men- tion? If not, why• not .— and what can we do about it?" Incidentally I wonder how many W. 1, members appreciate the tremendous amount of work and expense of "Home and Country." Do you know that 46,000 copies of each issue are sentout and that the publication cost of .even one issut: is ap proximately $3,000r And yet, for a nominal subscription sent in by each branch, ever:- mem- ber of the W. I. is entitled to • a copy of "Home and Country" free of charge. The least We can do is give it the carefulread- ing it deserves, don't you think? Hundred-MillionTreasure Hunt For years men have searched, and are still searching, for the fabulous gold mine that lies hid- den in the barren, rattlesnake - infested Superstition Mountains of Arizona, The "Lost Dutch- man" it is called. Its existence is certain. Yet since 1805 everyone . who has set out,.to find it has met with a violent end, The outer reaches of the Superstition Mountains resemble the walls of a mediaeval fortress, says Sims Ely in his enthralling book, "The Lost Dutchman Mine". Towering over the desert, they enclose hundreds of square miles of tortured land that was once the haunt of the predatory Apache, a 'country of soft pudding stone, gashed and carved into fantastic shapes, criss-crossed by yawning chasms, Bare of vegetation, almost waterless in summer, it's a place where shadows.lengthen eerily at sundown, where compass direc- tions are undependable, where a man can easily become lost or a prey to ambush, Such a man was Adolph Ruth, who ventured there alone in June of 1031, never to return, With his dismembered skeleton were found notebook jottings, including . Julius Caesar's cele- brated quotatign: "Veni, vidi, vici" (I came, 1 saw, I con- quered). Was it. a triumphant cry that he had discovered the location of the mine? It's a question—like the question of his murder—that may never be answered, the author says. The first American white man to see gold from the "Dutchman" was almost certainly Dr. Abra- ham D. Thorne, who was forced to play a sort of "blind man's buff" for it when he was led there, blindfolded and on horse- back, by Apache braves back in 1865. He had doctored the fami- lies of the Apaches, curing their children of eye trouble, and as a reward they topic him to a place where there was "gold on the ground." There was, too. When the Apaches removed his blindfold Thorne found himself in a can- yon with• a pile of almost pure gold, at his feet. A sackful was . thrown across his saddle and he was led away—blindfolded. He was never able to find his way back. Two men who undoubtedly did know the whereabouts of the mine were Jacob Waltz.- and Jacob Weiser, who were taken there in 1871 by its owner, Miguel Peralta, after they had saved his life in a Mexican gambling fight. The mine had been in his family since 1748, when Ferdinand VI of Spain had bestowed 3,750 miles of what is now Arizona on his grandfather for services to the Crown, plus the resounding title of Baron of the Colorados. In the late 1860's a Mr. James A, Reavis caused a tremendous stir by laying claim to the Per- alta lands, then worth some 100 million dollars. But when his evidence—ancient Spanish docu- ments—were scrutinized by legal experts they discovered that, held up to the light, they bore a modern watermark. As for Mr, Reavis, he turned out to be the ex -conductor of a. St, Louis horse -bus. Their share in gold of that first visit to the Dutchman 'was worth $30,000 to Waltz and Weiser. And, back in Mexico, Peralta. told them that if they made the money over to him the mine was theirs to work, Naturally, they jumped at it. "The ore was so rich you just wouldn't believe it," Waltz said later, "The nuggets of gold simply fell out when yon. crush- ed the rock with hammers." He described the mine as "a large pit shaped like a funnel with the large end up." But on their second visit to the "Dutchman" deadly disaster dogged them, As they approach- ed they saw two men hammer- ing there, brown -skinned, strip- ed to the waist, Apaches, they ALL'DUE You can't qo //4 IF you Feel MLiN' These days most people work under pressure, worry more, sleep leu.

Ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills at any drug counter, 53 decided — and shot then dead, Then saw to their horror that the men were two of Peralta'a peons , .. but worse followed. They had recovered sufficiently from the shock of their cold- blooded murder to shirt digging gold out of the mine, when their mule ruined their flour supply, eating some of it, trampling on the rest. Waltz decided lo ride off to the nearest mill and get some—a four-day journey. He was held up through no fault of his own, And when he got back —a day late—he found to his terror that the Apaches had been. The camp was a shambles. All that remained of his partner was his shirt—hanging on a tree. "Because I took the flfth day I caused the death.of my partner, just as sure as shootin'," Whltz said later. "Leastways I've..al•,. ways felt that way. I caused the death of my best friend and I've never forgiven myself." It weighed so heavily on his conscience that he lost all inter- est in the mine. And when he died, twenty years later, the last claim to ownership of the Lost Dutchman—and the secret of its whereabouts—died with him, Many have tried to Lind it si-ice . and have met violent deaths. The last serious attempt was in 1947, when James Cravey was flown into the Superstitions by helicopter. His beheaded skele- ton was found some months later. To the reader's inevitable question—Why, even with mod- ern resources, is the Dutchman so difficult to locate? --Sims Ely provides a convincing answer. To do so he goes back to the year 1912 when an ageing Indian, known as Apache Jack, revealed how, many years earlier, when he was only a boy, a number of Mexicans were working the mine. The Apaches always stay- ed near the Mexican camp be- cause of the food that was hand- ed out to them .. , until one of the gold -crazy Mexicans molest- ed an Apache woman and a ter- rible running fight lasting three days ensued, Eventually most of the Mexicans were wiped out. And it was then that, having seen how gold can inflame white men's minds, the Apaches de- cided to obliterate all surface signs of the mine so that it could never be found. The squaws worked "all one winter," Apache Jack said, shov- ing "into the hole" everything movable, then smoothing the whole surface over until it look- ed like the surrounding country. Sims Ely's book is a true, ex- citit g adventure story that con- veys to the reader not onlyhis own conviction that the Dutch- man Mine exists, but also that one day it will yield up its fabu- lous wealth and secrets.

Probably 50,000 boys in Canada play hockey in some form or another. But 200,000 men, women and children are curling addicts, It is questionable, indeed, whether any other participant sport in North America attracts so many ardent followers. It is well over a century ago that the Royal Montreal Curling Club began to issue franchises to members' trans- ferred to different parts of Canada. The ancient club was then acting as headquarters of the Royal Caledonia in Canada. Since then other provinces have set up their, own curling headquarters although Montreal, the eastern part of Ontario and Quebec generally are still part.and parcel of the Scottish organization, which took the "Royal" title in 1842 when Queen Victoria visited Scotland, and attended a curling contest, Many clubs in Canada can boast of having achieved the ripe old age of 100 years, or more. . A popular tradition is that members of a Scottish regiment stationed at Quebec introduced the game to Canada, using cannon balls cut in half to spin along the ice surfaces. Factually, it is known that the Montreal Curling Club was fotinded in 1807, and records indicate that the first inter- city curling match was played in 1835, between teams repre- senting Montreal and Quebec City, In proverbially Scottish eastern Nova Scotia, particu- larly in Pictou county, curling came into being more than a century ago. Scots who settled at Albion Mines soon after 1827 were first to play the game in that country, and minutes of the Bluenose Club in New Glasgow date back to 1853, The Ilamilton Thistle Club is 101 years old. Before this club was founded, there was some scattered curling In the district. As far back as '1838, Hamilton curlers were at a loss how to get stones. A woodworker in nearby Fergus made a set of "stones" from curly maple, and these were used for years. • • Next week: Part II — Curling's Modern Growth Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yongo Sl., Toronto. CalvetDSTLLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO spo:.A LXBT For the past year or so sports columns have been full of tales soncerning record-breaking feats, You could hardly pick up a paper without seeing headlines proclaiming that somebody had set a new mark .for running, jumping, tossing the bull or some such. And yet until we looked in the columns—of all pirtcesl—of the Christian Science Monitor—we are unaware of what was possibly the most uusual feat of all. Figure it this way. The number of those who have dreamed 'bout breaking four minutes for the mile would run into the thousands—and the same for the two -miles, weight -lifting and so forth. But literally millions of indoor athletes have visioned themselves scoring a "possible" in snooker pool—a break of 147. And yet, until just recently, not a single one of them had made It. The man who accomplished it was Joe Davis. And Mr. Davis Jlas this satisfaction. Some day, somewhere, , somebody will_ un- doubtedly_ break Roger Bannister's one -mile record. The same goes for all the others,. But -unless they change the rules of• the game —nobody, nowhere, can ever hope to do better than tie Joe Davis' proud mark. Fancy that, Armand! And now, for the low-down on what it is all about, 'we turn you over to Sydney Skilton. Comedian - faced Joe Davis whose cue artistry has delighted Britain's billiards and snooker's pools fans for upwards of 30 years, treated us to his broadest- ever smile when he became the first man in the world to make a maximum 147 break, That smile radiated pride of accomplishment because more than 575 times the green baize maestro from .Chesterfield has exceeded the century. break and twice has he reached 146. The smile also radiated all the warming characteristics of a man whose charm and modesty and ability and achievement have placed him among the na- tion's. greatest sports . entertain - ars of all time. For 20 years he reigned undefeated as world champion at snooker. Then he resigned to "give the youngsters a chance" but lie still kept on for the joy it gave him. And the joy it gave others. There are few parallels to the 147 break at snooker. It is the acme of perfection and necessi- tates going to the table and put- ting into the pockets each ball in correct sequence and without making a single mistake. Only three other players inthe whole world have ever looked like do- ing 'it in the three-quarters of a century the game has been played. They are England's Rex Williams, Canada's George Che- nier and New Zealand's Clark McConachy, who have all ex- ceeded 140, Being several years younger than 53 -year-old Joe Davis they all can be expected to bring it off before they .pack away their, cues for the last time, * * * But to Joe forever stands that glory of being the. first, It is only fitting that it should be so because no other honor has eluded this brilliant cuelst who strode the game like a Colos- DOWN SHE GOES—The bombllke device in the center, flanked by two scale -sized models, is a supply parachute with helicopter blades.

You can gauge his superiority from his collection of 575 century breaks. No other player, professional or amateur, has yet made 100 hundreds, His world championship reign, fol- lowed since by an almost non- stop run of victories against challengers on a handicap basis, is a further example of his su- premacy, * • Joe's snooker pre-eminence follows a sound grounding at bil- liards, the 3 -ball precision game which the 22 -ball bright and breezy snooker ousted from the' tables. Back in his boyhood Joe was a member of the local church* institute at Chesterfield. It boasted a billiards table and every spare minute young Joe had was devoted to the study on it of ball control. He was never satisfied with less than six hours practice a day and when Davis senior was convinced that junior was really set on billiards a cue was purchased at a second-hand store. That cue 'became Joe's prized possession and it is what he used the other day for the 147 break, * * After becoming English na- tional junior professional cham- pion Joe at the age of 20 years came to London and challenged for the senior title. He received a severe chastening from the reigning champion, Tom New- man, and went home • for more practice. Four years later Joe was back again and so marked was the improvement that New- man was nearly toppled. The year after that, in 1928, the name of Davis was inscribed as cham- pion, It , remained there until displaced by the Australian, Walter Lindrum, in 1933, * * * Meantime snooker's pool, a game said to have been invented by British subalterns in India, suddenly began to find favor after being scorned by the staid - like Victorian and Edwardian English The cathedral -like at- mosphere prevailing for billiards play was not a bit necessary with snooker and the younger players fell for it. Professionals, Davis and Lindrum among them, sensing the swing, tried snooker as a filler -in at the end of ses- sions; The variety and entertain- ment the pros were able to in- troduce in contrast to the exact- ness and, too often, •dullness of billiards was an instant success., * * * Another reason for snooker's popularity is its simplicity. There are 22 balls to play, around with and, consequently, many more alternatives than bil- liards, Snooker is largely a mat- ter' of potting balls into pockets and controlling the ball with which to do it. To the billiards purist snooker is a sacrilege but to Joe it has become merely an- other method of displaying his cue and ball 'control. And how, superbly he does it!

Jackie Robinson is convinced that play- ers of his race are in the game to stay. "The fans have made it so," declared Robinson, in Boston as part of a nationwide tour for the National Conference of Christians and Jews, "They have accepted the Negro and perman- ently established him in base- ball. They want him, so he will stay." Jackie's job of pioneering the arrival of the Negro in the big leagues is one of the greatest stories of all time and is told, at least in part, by himself in three installment of Look Mag- azine. When asked to pick out one or two men most influential in helping establish him as a major leaguer, Robinson replied: "Pee- wee. Reese helped me the most on the field. He was wonderful. I remember the very first day I started at second base, eight years ago. I think it was right here in Boston, against the old Braves, Players were giving Peewee a pretty rough riding from the bench, and he knew what it was all about. He, a southerner, playing beside a Negro, • But Peewee stopped it quickly by walking over, put- ting his hand on my shoulder and saying something in my ear. That's just one example, There were many others," Jackie is a stanch supporter of the Little Leagutr program for kids, "It's being criticized be- cause of the affect it has on the kids who lose," he said, "But CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING BABY CHUCKS Have you our new illuatrated 1966 cata- log?

Speaking of the pros, how did the Brooklyn Dodger veteran see the 1955 National League race? "Well, we've got a well bal- anced league," he replied. "I think the Dodgers are going to win, naturally, in spite of a few question marks. I don't think the Giants will win the big games as often as they did in '54, Milwaukee will be tough, So will the Cardinals and Cincin- nati, if they get some pitching to, go with their power. Pitts- burgh figures to . be much im- proved. There just aren't any breathers in our league like there are in the American, "Losing Roy Campanella last year hurt us, but so did young , Podres, who was seven and two on the mound before forced out by an injury." Jackie continued, "We didn't have that good left- hander that's needed against certain clubs. I think young Spooner is going to help us, He throws a fast ball at lot like Robin Roberts. It's always moving.

He was a patient in Stratford General and Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, for sora : time, but was at his son's home in Hullett during the past few weeks. The late Mr. Jewitt was born at Brw sols, educated in Brussels schools and at Normal School in Ottawa. In his early life he was a school teacher, and later a storekeeper at Constance, in Hullett.

A. met at the home of Mrs, Clayton Ladd on Feb. 4 with six members and two visitors present. The leader, Mrs. Nellie Ladd, was in 'the chair. The meeting opening with a -hymn.

Each member is to answer the roll call by a verse from the Bible, ti Stove Explosion Startles Group Gathered At Local Gas Station A group of villagers and di:itrict farmers gathered around an oil • stove at Norman Gowing's Service Station on Saturday afternoon enjoying the hospitality of their host, were sudden- ly brought to the realization that their is danger amidst the moat tranquil scenes, when the oil stove gave • a mighty, puff and scattered soot and an oily substance all over the visitors; as well as the intorior of the prem. ises. The explosion was in reality a dou- ble-barreled one, because at the same time a coal stove in the basement also blew up. Cause of the explosion was the ap. plication of some oil to the coal fire. Both'stoves are connected to the same chimney and the basement explosion set the oil stove up stairs to bouncing as the concussion raced through the pipes. A passerby at the moment saw the pipe atop the chimney on the building lift 'about a foot from it's moorings, and then gently settle back into place, which to sty the least, must have been something of a steelier. No damage except some black, oily faces, and soiled clothing. 'fhe vacuum cleaner was used to give the garage in- terior the once-over, it having been completed saturated with the oily sub- stance from the stove, FOR THAT SPECIAL GIFT "For Her" 1 may we suggest A Cedar Chest See them in our window, and drop in and enquire about prices.

Is Question—Far►n Price Support should not be high enough to encour- age increased production but should protect the farmers against disastrous drop in prices and should cover the cost .of production, 2nd Question—Our cost of production for many articles is much higher than in other countries end the farmers' 1n. come Is usually at the mercy of climat- ic conditions so our support price of- ten has to be higher than in other countries as the U.S.A. takes much et our surplus produce.
