The cast that does nils will invariably emerge a winner. Inn• portant things to remember are, stage settings, which should depict the time ;of the play, snake -up, diction, and sound effects.

Some time ago, Sonja Henie was lounging in the living room of her suite at the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas chatting with a reporter, It was 2;00 a.m. and having just finished her second show, the pert, apple-cheeked ice-skater was mildly annoyed. "The stage here," she remark- ed, "is too small for my best skating, "Besides," she added, "all I'm getting Is $25,000 a week. By the time I pay everyone off, there's not much left.", This obsession with her career and the monetary fruits thereof is responsible for making Sonja Henie today the richest and most fabulous woman in show business, At 42, after 18 years of pro- fessional figure skating, she is still the biggest name in the world of ice. Possessor of a personal for- tune estimated somewhere be- tween $10,000,000 and $15,000,- 000, Sonja continues to barn- storm the world 12 months a year setting new attendance records wherever she performs and amazing a new generation of spectators with the incredible perfection of her skating wiz- ardry. In 1953 she toured the United States and Scandinavia, In Oslo she made 33 appearances in 32 days before 360,000 fans. She grossed $521,000, of which she netted approximately $208,400— not bad for a long .month's work. In 1952, appearing in New York's Madison Square Garden, she grossed $92,000 in a single Saturday, This year, touring small and medium-sized cities in the Mid- west, she has already grossed $300,000. Ever since she turned profes- sional in 1936, Sonja Henie has been minting these astronomical amounts of money, Moreover, her ice revues and motion pic- tures have been seen by more than 250,000,000 fans, bringing her the following material rich- es: a tremendous mansion in Landoya, Norway, which, in the words of her estranged husbaigd Winthrop Gardiner, "makes, the Norwegian King's Palace look like a shanty"; another ram- bling $500,000 mansion in Bev- erly Hills, California, equipped with swimming pool, tennis court, boxer dog and paintings by Rubens, Reynolds and Gains- borough; an undisclosed num- ber of apartment houses and other real estate holdings in Chicago; a liquor distributor- ship, Judge & Rolph, in the same city; a $1,500,000 collection of jewels referred to by mem- bers of her troupe as "the rock pile"; a novelty company; two Cadillacs; stock in several arenas, and 1,700 acres of prop- erty in Oceanside, Calif, One would think that with all this wealth, Sonja Henie might now be content to call it quits, to rest on her laurels and loving cups, to settle down and live the good and peaceful life, But Sonja insists she is constitution- ally incapable of retirement or inactivity, "I've been skating since I was eight," she points out, "and I still love it. I know it's hard to explain to people but I would rather skate than do - anything. I just can't give it up, It's as much a part of me as my right arm." How does a woman of her age keep up so killing an athletic pace night after night? How come at 42 she looks 10 years younger, maintains an ap- parently inexhaustible supply of stamina, weighs 108 pounds, and boasts the provocative fig- ure of a girl of 20? The secrets of Sonja Henie's near -perpetual youth are these: She lives on raw meat and raw eggs. She takes daily vitamin shots. She sleeps 10 hours a night. She avoids hard liquor. She is per- ennially enthusiastic. She em- ploys a masseuse to massage her body and face. She practices her ice-skating at least two hours per day. Occasionally she re- sorts to such stimulants as oxy- gen and champagne, Whenever she strains a muscle she takes immediate injections to deaden the pain and goes right on skat- ing. Hardly ever does she per- mit herself the luxury of a va- cation. She is more interested in work than in men. Conse- quehtly, her worries are fewer, The secrets of her lasting suc- cess, however, may be attribut- ed to another set of virtues; tal- ent, thrift, acumen, showman- ship, industry. Sonja, as every sports fan knows, was born in Oslo, Nor- way. At eight she was given her first pair of skates. At nine she won the junior competition of the Oslo Skating Club. At 11 she won the Norwegian Na- tional Championship and con- fided to her father that one day she planned to become "the greatest figure -skater in the world." Admiring his daughter's am- bition, Wilhelm Henie decided` to further her career. He hired the best skating instructors in Oslo to teach her. At 14, Sonja Henie won her first world championship, In the ensuing 12 years, she captured nine additional world titles pins the Olympic championships of 1928, 1932 and 1936. No other figure skater has ever equaled this phenomenal record, and it is unlikely that any ever will. During her formative years Sonja was so busy winning championships that her formal education was taken over by a group of private tutors. When she was 18, she expressed an interest in ballet and her par- ents quickly sent her to London to study under the famous Ma- dame Karsevina. It was this interest in danc- ing that gave Sonja the idea of putting ballet on ice skates, an idea, incidentally, which is now the basis for practically every ice revue in existence. To Arthur Wirtz, however, a brilliant Chicago real estate operator, goes the credit for in- ducing Sonja to turn profes- sional. In 1935, Wirtz found himself the owner of three hockey teams and four midwestern arenas. "After the hockey season is over," he asked him- self, "how am I going to fill those stadiums in Omaha, . De- troit, Chicago and Indianapol- is?" One night, after watching "a skating exhibition at Chicago's Hotel Sherman, Wirtz got an idea. He hired a group of pro; fesslonal ice-skaters for $3,500 BIG BRUSH -OFF --Pan Micharlson and 'Gregg Nash 'go into action with a Paul Bunyon-size, collapsible metal tube of tooth- paste and toothbrush to stir up, Interest in Childr-on's Dental Health Week. " TAI3LE TALKS damAndrews. BONNIE HADDOCK Although finnan haddie is now a world-famous food, its origin in Scotland came about quite by accident many years ago, A large quantity of haddock had been stored in a building in Fin- don, Scotland, Some wood in „the building caught fire and when the flames huddled away, the haddock had taken on a rich, golden hue. Those fortun- ate enough to taste it pronounc- ed it "bonnie." As a result, this smoked haddock, became known as Findon Haddock, and was a big boost to the fishing trade. You don't have to make a trip to the Land 0' the Heather to enjoy this delectable and econ- omical Ash, for -finnan haddie from Canadian haddock is avail - and. staged a two -night figure - skating exhibition. It drew $33,- 000, 33;000, and Wirtz knew he had dis- covered a good thing. All he needed, he decided, was "a big name" to carry the show. In those days there was only one such name: Sonja Henie. Following the 1936 Olympic' Games, Wirtz cabled Sonja; "Will you turn professional for three thousand dollars a night?" Sonja cabled right back: "For three thousand dollars a night anyone will turn' professional." A few weeks later Miss Henie was skating in Chicago Sta- dium, earning $12,000 for four performances. More 'important, she began an association with Wirtz that lasted until 1952. To- gether, on a 50-50 basis, they organized the Sonja Henie Ice Revue, bought various proper- ties, took over the Center The- ater in New York's Radio City, installed another fabulously profitable ice show there, and ran it for a decade during which time Sonja made only token appearances, In 16 years under the Arthur Wirtz aegis, the various Henie ice revues achieved internation- al fame and grossed an estimat- ed $50,000,000, Just why Wirtz and Sonja severed their mut- ually profitable relationship, the little blond ice-skater refuses to divulge. "It was just one of those things" is all she will say. Although half of the ice re- vue money went to Wirtz from 1936 to 1952, Sonja retained 100 per cent of ther , Hollywood earnings in this same period. Nothing is more indicative of this show -woman's great shrew- ness than the way in which she first crashed motion pictures. In 1936 she and her parents came out to the movie capital, rented the Polar Palace, the only rink in town, hired a good orchestra, a competent lighting staff and the , flashiest ice skat- ers available. "I was determined," Sonja says, "to make Hollywood ice - conscious and to get the best movie contract I could," It cost the Henies $7,600 to stage their daughter's California skat- ing debut, but the investment reaped the desired rewards. The revue not only returned a ter- rific • profit, but in Sonja's words, "Hollywood offers fell into our lap like ripe. fruit, I took the one I wanted. most— with 20th Century -Fox," Darryl Zanuck, the studio pro- duction chief, surprised at Miss Henie's bargaining acumen, agreed to a long-term' deal at $100,000 a picture.

For that is where 'L'Aurora' is pub- lished • — the only newspaper in the world written by ghosts. 'L'Aurora' is issued by a spiritualist society of seven. Its inspiration was Professor Gius• -eppe Stoppoloni, the head of the faculty of veterinary ana- tomy at the university, and an ardent spiritualist for many years. When Stoppoloni found- ed the Camerino society its meetings were to popular that they were uncomfortably crowd-., ed, until he sifted the sensation - seekers from those really inter- ested, and reduced the number to seven, These seven meet twice a week, on Thursdays and Satur- days, in the house of the local bank manager, A red lamp, the only illumination, glows in the, darkness; in a corner stands a tape recorder, Then the seance begins with the medium, Raone Bocci, going into a trance.

He has proved that two he knows pos- ses reasoning power and acting ability! For some time Mr. Elwell, of Ramsay, Isle of Man, has been in the habit of feeding seagulls from his window, Recently he noticed a one -legged gull at- nAt, k_rttivi ecrs6fittc tempting to get its share of the crumbs and ilsh scraps Ile left on the window - sill. .But its handicap put it at a disadvcn- ture, and even when it managed to get to the food the other birds pushed it out of their way. Then it was noticed that the cripple did not come during the day when other birds were around. It came instead at dusk, and Mr. Elwell watched out for it and gave it a good meal on its own. On one occasion, however, he realised that the cripple was ac- tually another seagull which was acting a part alighting on one leg and keeping the other tucked beneath it! Now Mr. Elwell has to look closely to see whether the soli- tary seagull which arrives for its evening meal is really the one -legged bird or a clever masquerader. HowCanl?

Now is the time to check the available space and equipment and to make plans for the brooding season, * * ' * The brooder house should provide at least seventy-two square inches of floor space per chick up to eight weeks 'of age and the floor space should be doubled if chicks are to be kept in confinement for a longer per- iod. In addition to ample space a wide range of temperatures to suit the needs of the chicks is necessary. Over -heating, chilling and drafts are harmful, with over -heating the major fault. Where chicks are being brooded late in the spring some pro- vision should be made to ven- Ulate the !louse and hold tem- peratures down.

A good rule to follow is to have a temperature of 05 de- grees under the brooder for the first week and to reduce the.tem- perature 5 degrees each week. It is advisable not to raise more than three hundred chicks un- der one brooder. For the farmer who raises four hundred to six hundred chicks two brooders would be„more satisfactory„ * * 1 Ample feeding space is also a necessity for fast, even growth. Two four -foot feeders per one hundred chicks would provide approximately two inches of feeding.. space per chick which is satisfactory until the chicks are six weeks of age, If chicks are to be confined for a longer period, then the space per chick should be increased to three inches. Some poultrymen follow the practice of covering the litter with newpapers for two or three days while the chicks are learning to eat. * * * An adequate supply of fresh water should be provided at all times. Two waterers of two - quart capacity are more satis- factory than one ,of a gallon during the brooding period. If later a change ' is made to a larger waterer the small ones should also be used for a short period until the birds get ac- quainted with the new supply. * * * Germination tests at home are the practical and common sense answer to farmers who question whether their seed is going to germinate properly after they sow it. This is particularly the case with seed retained from last year's harvest, the germina- tion of which may be low, For ' the common crop, home ger- mination tests can be made suc- cessfully on a sample which will most nearly represent the entire • lot, * * * The usual practice is to use 100 -seed counts, in duplicate, or more. The average of the separ- ate tests is .then used in deter- mining the percentage of., ger- mination, * * * Clean- blotting paper, absor- bent cotton, paper towels, or cloth may be used to hold the seeds. Place 190 seeds on 'the material s6lected and cover with the same, kind of material. Place on a large dinner plate' and cover 'with another one. Sand may also, be used for test- ing seeds of cereals, corn, peas and beans, * * * Seeds,should not be allowed to rest in water. The material should be .soaked in water and • the free water allowed to drain off before the seds are planted. * * * Uniform temperature ranging from 65 to ` 85 degrees F. is suitable. • Sprouts should not be remov- ed and counted before they are large, enough to . deterinine if they are healthy and appear capable of developing into use-. ful plalits.

Farm Lcibourer Buied0n y Among the many tombstones in Westminster Abbey, where normhlly only the great are .buried, is one to the memory of a humble farm labourer frau Shropshire whose only claim' to fame lies in the fact that he lived to the ripe old age of 152: Thomas Parr. Though few today have ever heard of him, "Old Parr"; as he was called, became for a span of two months the talk of Lon- don, and . the guest of kings and princes; it was 'on the express orders of Charles I that he was given an Abbey burial. Born in -1483 in the Shropshire village of Alberbut'y, he lived in no fewer than ten reigns, from that of Edward IV to that of I Charles I; and throughout • his life •subsisted almost entirely on old cheese, .milk, coarse bread, small beer and whey. For' eighty years Old Parr re- malnec' a confirmed, bachelor, fending for' himself in .his small cottage near the ,River Severn, He. had no eyes for women—un- • til one day in 1563 he met a young woman little more than 'a quarter his age, and he found his second youth. Th aged and wrinkled farm,. hand forgot his abhorrence 'of women and became an • ardent suitor. He fell madly in love, married after a short courting, and in less than four years was the father of two children. • .Alas, the romance proved wx1<' "Of course the way to be a suc- cessful painter, is to become a Prime Minister first," sweet but short, Soon after the birth' of his second child, Old Parr lost his wife, arid found himself a widower with the res- ponsibility of bringing up a family single-handed, He now had "an eye. for the girls," however, and at the age of 105 he disgraced himself by becoming the father of an illegi- timate child by . a local lass, Katherine Milton. This so filled him with shame that imme- diately after 'the baby's birth he did penance by spending the night in , Alberbury Church clothed only in a white .sheet. He then married Katherine and settled down to a steadier life. Thirty years 'after his second marriage he was still threshing corn in the Shropshire .barns with the 'energy • of a man of sixty. Indeed, though his eye- sight had Begun to .fail by then, he was still working at 150, and appeared to be as robust as ever. In 1635, two years later, the Earl of Arundel got to hear of . his remarkable longevity, and determined to take Thomas to London to see the Icing. And that proved his undoing. Charles I ways so delighted that he' treated' Thomas Parr • as an lkonoured guest, inviting him to dine at the royal table and over - priming him with rich food and goodly wine. i -Ie provided him with a home in the Strand, and commissioned both Rubens and Van Dyck to paint his portrait, The excitement was. too much, and his digestion, so long ac- customed to simple country fair, revolted, Within two months of, his arrival in London Thomas Parr was dead. He had died, said a doctor who examined him, from over -indulgence in . food and drink, His heart and lungs were sounder than those of most men less than half his age; and had he been allowed to continue with his quiet country life he might well have lived for many years snore. The king•, was so distressed by the news of his death that he ordered that he be buried in Westminster Abbey and that a memorial stone be erected re- cording itis . longevity, Besides his stone in the Abbey, we can still see the humble Shropshire cottage ,where Parr spent a large part of his ' life. How Irving Berlin Wrote Best -Seiler Irving Berlin grinned apolo- getically, "Sorry," he said, "there's not - really a romantic story story be- hind 'White Christmas,' It would probably be a good publicity story to say that I wrote it on an Alpine peak or something like that -- but, believe me, it would be too darned cold and uncomfortable on an Alpine peak to think about writing a song there! "To tell you the truth, I can't even remember where I wrote it, It was probably on a very hot dayl I had got an idea for a stage show based on the dif- ferent holiday seasons. Christ- mas was one of the holidays, and I got a phrase into my head for it; The lyric had to lead up to 'And may all your Christ- mases be white,' It wasn't easy, either! "The stage show didn't come off, after all, so I put up the idea to Paramount as the basis for a film, anent resulted in "Holiday Inn,' Bing Crosby sang 'White Christmas' in it. I didn't dream that it would become such a hit. It's easily the most successful number I have 'written from a commercial point of view." Its success has been phenom- enal. It was introduced, briefly. in another picture, "Blue Skies." Now it comes to the screen for the third time in the film which carries the tune as its title, "White Christmas," once again with Bing Crosby singing it, Over eight million of the ori- ginal Bing Crosby records have been sold so far. Add this figure to the sales of records made by other artists and you get a total of over eighteen million, "One always hopes for a hit, of course," Berlin remarked, "but I defy anyone to say in advance whether a number will catch on or not. I was lucky with 'White Christmas' in that ft came out during the war and• it appealed to Servicemen serv- Ing overseas. It had a nostal- gic appeal for them, "One of the most touching moments in my life was when I went to New Guinea during the war. I was taken along to see a troop show on Christmas Eve, and not many people knew I was there. Nothing could have been less Chrlstmasy. It was very hot, and there were palm trees all around. There was cer- tainly no snow! Then, at three minutes to twelve, the . whole audience stood up and sang 'White Christmas.' I'm not ashamed to say that I found tears coming into my eyes." Sleeplessness has resulted in his new number, "Count Your Blessings." Berlin just couldn't sleep. HO tried pills, He saw the doctor and was prescribed various remedies, None worked. He tried the old dodges of counting sheep, the flowers on the bed- room wallpaper, the leaves on the tree outside his window, One night his wife remarked: "What's the use of counting sheep? Why don't you count your blessings instead?" Berlin swears that her advice worked. Counting his blessings put him into a happy frame of mind, and he fell to sleep, More than that, Mrs, Berlin had pro- vided him with ,an idea for a song, and now "Count Your Blessings" looks like joining the other hits to his credit. At one time he used to com- pose his songs at the piano, To- day he puts them straight down on paper doing lyrics and mel- ody at the .same time. "I work any time, anywhere — at home, in hotels, in trains, And on the back of an old en- velope if it happens to be the only piece of paper handy. You've just got to keep on writ- ing!" AYSCIIOOJI LESSON Rev. R. Barclay Warren, B.A., B.D, The Church Proclaims the Gospel 1 Corinthians 1:18-25; 2:1.51 Colossians 1:Z4-28. Memory Selection" 1 am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for It is the power of God unto salvation to every one that he- lleveth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16, Gospel means Good News. The good news is that "Whoso- ever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." But man will not call until he accepts the truth concerning Jesus Christ, He cannot accept it or believe until he hears it. He can only hear when some- one goes to him proclaiming the message. Hence we who have the news have the re- sponsibility of telling others. The gospel is really very simple. "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord -Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart ` man be- lieveth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." We mu::t believe; we must confess, He who believes is glad to conf'ls for "Whosoever helieveth on him shall not be ashamed." * Paul had one-track mind when it came to preaching. He said, "I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified." This was the sum and substance of his preaching, He said, "My speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but ' in demon- stration of the Spirit and of power; that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." We need more preaching of this type today. Only such preach- ing will awaken men to their lostness and urge them to re- pent of their sins and believe On Jesus Christ as their Sav- iour. This is no time for insipid es- says from the pulpit. The Good News must be proclaimed in the power of the Spirit that melt may hear and find eternal life, REAL SCREWBALL It all happened In three mils- utes flat; The man walked hitt, ' the bar, ordered a shot of whir key, gulped it down, deposited 50 cents on the bar and walked out.

Two months ago he told me his parents do not like me, and that he cannot afford to oppose them because he works for his father. He claims he loves me more • than ever, but says he's so mix- ed up he doesn't know where to turn. "Why his family disapprove, I don't know. I've never been in his home, though I have met most of thein. In spite of all the mean things I hear they've said about me, I have no i11 feelings and I think I could get along with them. I come from a good ' family, and we have a fine life together. I've an excellent posi- tion, belong to the nicest organi- zations in town, and have loads of friends. Those who know about his family's objection are as amazed as I am. . "The young man is 30, I'm 25. Surely he should have a mind of his own? ... Now I see hien only at lunch. He is dating a girl r O' hne. '4444 Top of this or any season — two stunning blouses to wear with everything — suits, skirts, slacks, shorts!

I see other boys, but that isn't fair when I'm always think- ing of him. One, old friend now wants to marry me; his family are grand, but I am only fond of him. He would make a good husband, though. "Please help me! Shall I stop seeing the man I love? Marry the other boy? Or leave town for a while? JUDY." To help the man you love make up his mind, stop seeing him at all. Perhaps his father is using their business associa- tion to influence him, and the prospect of seeking a liveli- hood elsewhere does not ap- peal to him. Some young men are like that. Why his family object to you, no one can say —unless they have already chosen this other girl for him, Some parents are like that, too. If his fancily wins out, leav- ing town for a while (as you consider) will help you to re- cover from that blow. You will be away from both these men who care for you, and that has its advantage: for it will give you a clearer per- spective. Meantime; don't leave the other young man in any doubt, let him know you are not in love, though you like him. If you decide to re- main at home, his attentions will be comforting, and you will need all the comfort you can get. Love will surely come to you again.

RONICLES 1NGERFARM rih�n,r�rinlf„o. 0 C1nrk¢ In this district we are still lucky insofar as weather is con- cerned, Very little ice, no snow to speak of, bare roads and good driving conditions, Not quite so good on the back roads — but passable, We were particularly thankful for good weather last week as we had trouble at the • barn—one cow with milk fever, another with digestive trouble, and the rest not too lively. Part- ner says he is to blame for feed- ing them too well. I suppose cows are much the same as hu- mans—more of them suffer frons over -eating than from under- feeding. Anyway, our cows last weelc provided us with plenty of extra work and worry. Every- thing is back to normal now, thank goodness, and without any loss of life. It is wonderful the results modern veterinary medi- cine can achieve. If our sick cow had had milk fever ten years ago the chances are we would have lost her. This week there will be more 'excitement, but of a 'different kind.

And in connection with hydro . like everyone else we were deeply shocked to learn of the death, through a plane crash, of that energetic personality, Chair- man Robert Saunders. He had a tremendous responsibility and no one could have worked hard- er than he to promote the St. Lawrence Seaway project, It just seems too bad that he will not be here to see the comple- tion of that gigantic undertak- ing. A comparatively young man, Mr, Saunders, except for his untimely death, would un- doubtedly have given many years of valuable service to On= tario. His passing will be a . shock to farm folk in every part of rural Ontario, who did much to provide the means of hydro service to those in isolated dist- Another public service, the progress of which we -are watch- ing with interest; is.the installa- tion of new poles and wiring by the Bell Telephone Company, in preparation for a change -over to the dial system in July of this, year. We are really going mod- ern aroud here! However, the party line will still be with us but with less on each line. Six instead of the present fifteen—at least, so we have been informed. In the meantime we are subject to the inconveniences that pre-. cede any change in public ser- vice. There are short power in- terruptions It infrequent inter- vals and occasionally the tele- phone line is completely dead. And no doubt conditions will get worse before they are better, so I guess we shall have to tate It in our stride, .„ That we can do. What is a good deal harder to take is the announcement made last week by our Federal Minister of Agri- culture, the Honourable Mr, James Gardiner, who said that except for the wheat crop failure in- the west, 1954 would have been a good year for Canadian farmers! What a good • idea it would be 'to have Mr. Gardiner change places with 'an average hundred -acre farmer for a couple ISSUE 8 — '1955' of years, with little in the bank and probably a mortgage on the farm. It would be nice to have Mr. Gardiner feed and care for a few hundred laying hens; look after collecting the eggs, clean, pack and ship thein, and then get 300 a dozen for Grade A Large! If he compared the cash returns with the cost of feeding the birds, Mr. Gardiner might get quite a surprise. In fact, as an economy measure, Mr. Gar- diner might do as we have been doing — live on a steady meat diet of boiling fowl. Actually, we have eaten so many hens the last few weeks we are wonder- ing if there is any danger of us starting to cackle! We would also like to have Mr. Gardiner shipping milk, He might then wonder, as we do, why farmers should be requir- cd to ship a given quantity of "surplus" milk at $2.40 a hund- red pounds, which must be sup- plied to the dairy in order to keep up the quota that sells at approximately $4.40 a hundred, Yes, after a couple of years as an average farmer, Mr. Gardiner might find 'the farmer's income is influenced by other factors be- sides the prairie wheat crop. It might be brought home to him, the hard way, that everything he had to buy had a way of in- creasing in price while every- thing he had to sell was on the ' decline, , Mr. Gardiner, we are fully aware, is a farmer, but if he -were a farmer, minus his position as a cabinet minister, we rather fancy he would have to do a lot of • juggling to make the scales bal. ance at all. 1• THE LEGAL MIND Counsel was cross-examining a witness. He asked; "And on llth November you say you call- ed upon Mrs. Murphy. Now,. what did she say—" "I object to that question," interrupted opposing counsel. After a • fierce argument be- tween counsel, the judge allow- ed the question, "And, as I .was_ saying," con- tinued counsel, "you called upon Mrs. Murphy. Now, what did she 'say?" "Nothing—she was out." Mat ern Etiquette Q. When Is it proper- to begin calling new acquaintances by their first names? A.

Part II: CURLING COMES OF AGE • What the Grey Cup Is to football, the Stanley Cup to hockey and the World's Series to baseball, is the Canadian Briar Tankard to curling. There are, as we remarked last week, some 200,000 curlers in Canada; men, women and juniors. Of the senior male group, at least 20,000 entered the lists last fall in the fond hope of, reaching a chance at play for the world's most sought-after curling trophy, , ' But as in other sports, only the cream of the crop sur- vives But, in the battle that starts at Regina in early March, forty-four good curlers and true, reliresenting Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia, fight a out for the Can- adian title in this sporting round robin, Last year, Edmon- ton had the Brier, the Grey Cup and the oil millions—a rich collection There's high drama in the Brier, Founded in 1927, it was suspended for three years during World War II, resumed in 1940 at Saskatoon. On the final day of the meet, n three- way deadlock for first place developed, necessitating a sudden- deathplayoff between rinks representing Alberta, Northern Ontario and Manitoba. Almost 5,000' curling fans, with nothing but their own red-hot enthusiasm to keep thein warm,' hung on grimly until two o'clock on a bitterly -cold morning to see the first post-war champion in Canada crowned. It was the rink skipped by Billy Rose from the tiny village of Sedgewick, Alberta. There are .35,000 school students playing the game in 'Canada, grounding themselves in the inherently sporting character bf the 1'oarin' game. And the national school championship brings out some fine curling, as youngsters from every province in the Dominion compete. Women curlers have their tournaments in every province. In Quebec proince, there is, among other winter meet- ings, the Lieutenant -Governor's Trophy and the Seagram Bowl. Awarded annually to the province's international bon - spiel, the Seagram Bowl game is rated one of the classics of the curling world, attended by representative rinks from coast to coast, But perhaps it is the club matches, the hun- dreds of lesser 'spiels, that make curling great in a social and sporting sense. For it's a great game, a game devoid of inquests, where the skip's decision, right or wrong, is never questioned; the game of true sportsmanship. And the truly amateur game In the finest sense of the word. Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge St,, Toronto, Calvet DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO CNR Announces• New, Fast Service The Canadian • National Rail- ways has just confirmed that it will fully dieselize its transcontinental passenger train services concurrent with the. next timetable change on April 24. At that time a new fast trans- continental passenger train will considerably reduce the running time of the Montreal and Toronto section of the C.N.R. run to Vancouver. This decision was reached fol- lowing careful study which in- cluded a number of .experiment- al runs 'with road diesels on transcontinental trains The tests conducted over" the last twelve months show that a sub- stantial reduction in tiie Mon- treal and Toronto schedules to the Pacific Coast can be made by switching- over entirely to diesels from steam 'locomotives. Meanwhile the railway.'. is studying how it .can best use this time saving, having regard to the convenience of travellers and communities along its 2930 - mile transcontinental route. C.N.R. officials emphasized that the amount of time to be cutoff the schedules would be determined largely by the ques- tion of arranging convenient ar- rival and departure times at principal cities, and .connections ' with the other main routes s e'r v e d by transcontinental trains. Hauled by powerful new road diesels, the fast train will . be made up 'entirely of new equip- ment. The consist will embrace a wide variety of passenger ac- commodation, both first-class and tourist, including dinettes, g r ill service and standard diners. Average French For years Paris dress de- signers have been telling the women of the world what they must wear. Yet it would seem that Messrs. Dior, Salman and the rest have been putting on a bit of a bluff in assuming a knowledge of the feminine figures of other countries. Up to now they cannot even have known the average measure- ments of the girls of their own country, for official statistics on this interesting subject have not been published since 1911. Now, however, a new scienti- fic study of the face. and figure of "Miss France" has been pub- lished under the title "Research on the Anthropology of French- ' women." It is. a summary of a thesis recently presented to the French' Academy of Sciences, and consists of 350 measure- ment -laden pages. "Miss France". is apparently five feet three inches tall, and weighs 123 pounds. Her bust is at least "medium to ample": at most it is "magnificent." Her waist is narrow, her hips fairly broad. Her fingers are "long, slim, and aristocratic," Her finger -nails, in their na- tural state, range in colour from lilac -pink to deep rose. And it would seem that French- women are born mostly with the one colour of hair — brunette,' only 15 per cent be- • ing natural blondes. THIS ONE .WILL .

Total spectator capacity of the grounds will) be 104,000, Ear -,Rings Getting More Popular Fashion scouts on the look- out for new trends predict that ear -rings will be more popular than ever this year. News comes from Cape Town - that office workers there are wearing coloured buttons . as ear -rings. Most popular are buttons with pictures of race- horses, dogs, yachts and leap- ing fish set in glass. Jewellers report that . never before have so many women and girls owned and worn so many pairs of ear -rings. The "potent spell" of television is another caus* of the ever-grow- ing popularity of ear -rings, for many T.V stars wear them. Mothers are even letting their little girls wear ear -rings at the early age of six or seven. Some are influenced by an old belief that ear -piercing improves the sight. A wealthy Spanish duchess whose jewels are famous has been seen wearing ear -rings of cherry -stones. Another woman wears ear -rings fashioned into tiny lanterns of platinum, the "light" being a solitaire dia- mond. Some of the largest and heav- iest ear -rings known are those worn by young women of the Lol aborigines in the interior of Hainan, an island . in the China Sea. Made of brass, each ring is a foot in diameter. A "set"—consisting'' of twenty for each car—weighs ten pounds. Women of the Garo tribe in India have long believed that the security of . their souls de- pends upon the number of ear- rings they wear. How the Victorians loved ear- rings! When she was still very young, Queen Victoria wore long pendants hanging from her ears. Archaeologists have found beautiful and priceless ear- rings worn by long -dead queens which prove that the use of ear -rings for personal adorn- ment goes back thousands of years. Haggis Expert Margaret Walker must have the most unusual job in Scot- land. She is a haggis -sampler in a factory in Edinburgh ; that specialises in the making of this traditional dish, The factory has been making haggis for 120 years.

PLAIN HORSE SENSE.. By F. (BOB) It was with a certain amount 'of satisfaction that we took note of the decision of the_. Federation of Agriculture to . ap- proach federal and provincial governments and demand im- proved and expanded marketing legislation, We . could never , share the opinion of so many farm leaders that, the federal marketing act (bill 82) gave farmers sufficient power to control this marketing of their products on the nation- al level, not to speak of export. As long as two, provinces, Quebec and Alberta, did not have provincial marketing legis- lation, the federal act for all practical purposes was useless as it provides only for the dele- gation of federal powers to marketing boards established under a provincial act. Alberta. is expected to , enact the necessary ' legislation at .the coming session, but there are no signs that anything will be done in Quebec. Mutual Self Help What isneeded is a federal marketing act which will enable producers of any given com- modity to organize orderly mar- keting of their product in all ten provinces and to, enter ex- port trade if they so desire. ,warmers want and need sta- bilized, prices,. but so , far they have . been looking towards 'governments for action, The lit- tle they got, was given to them, ISSUE 8 —.1955 VON PILUS not as their due, but as a hand- out coming from the desire to catch the farm vote. More and more our farm or- ganizations are losing the spirit that once united the farmers' of Ontario and eventually drove them to form their own govern- ment. The annual cap -in -hand visits of unions and federations, farmer or labour, with govern- ments may be welcome for the self-confidence of these govern- ments, but are ' not instilling vigour into our organizations. Grandiloquent speeches at farm or labour conventions, preced- ing and following these visits, do not alter the decisions of governments. • If we want to prevent pater- nalism and domination by party governments, and we do, we have to do ,the job ourselves through cooperative action. If we mutually help each other by working together, we help our- selves and at the same time we help to preserve freedom and democracy.

The colour of the hag- gis is her main guide. A good haggis is firm and has a healthy sheen. A bad one has a pasty green colour. Margaret' is particularly pleas ed with haggises this year. The factory is once more able to use sheeps' stomachs to hold them. That makes it the genuine article, Until recently a substi- tute receptacle had to be used as the stomachs were unobtain- able.

And she often takes one home on ordinary days.
