Adjudicator Sums Up
In presenting the winner, Mr, Binks
first complimented all cast members for
a fine performance. He said that,audi•,
once reaction is an important factor In
any presentation. A cast should always
remember that the audience Is entirely
ignorant of what is to happen, and i1
is up tto the players to present the
play as vividly as possible, down tc
the last detail. 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.

Richest Woman
In Hollywood ...
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

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. Sonja.. also
demanded plenty . of free time

got it.

Here's a Newspaper
Written By Ghosts
The -little town of Camerino
is known as the smallest uni-
versity town in , Italy, Now it
has another • distinction. 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,

ary talent which decided the

tals, it has not a single earthly

to think seagulls are among the
most intelligent of birds. He has
proved that two he knows pos-

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-

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.

The care which chicks receive
during the brooding period will
have a great effect on the finan-
cial returns from these birds at
a later date..Probably no mis-
take is more common than the
tendency to put too many chicks
in the 'brooder house, The ex-
cessive losses, unven growth,
and cannibalism that result are
often attributed to other causes,
yet it must be expected if the
house contains too many chicks
for its size. 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. When chicks

ture is too high,
* . *
The choice of a brooder stove
is ,important, especially in con-
struction, as there is always risk
of fire, The stove should be set
up and in operation at least
three days before the chicks ar-
rive. 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.

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. Quickly, the bartender
scooped up the coin, put it in his
pocket and turned to the next
customer — 'only to catch the
cold eye of the proprietor staring
at him. The bartender hesitate
a moment, then shook his head
sadly.
"What a screwball!" he con-
fided. "Leaves a 50 cent tip —
and then walks out without pay-
ing."

over two years I've gone with
a young man I love madly. .. .
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. .

Surely he should have a mind of
his own? ... Now I see hien
only at lunch. He is dating a girl

his parents like and have enter-
tained. 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.

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. On Friday we expect to
be "converted" — by a change-
over from 25 to 60 cycle, We
are wondering if we shall notice
any difference in our lamps and
motors. That I shall be 'able to
tell you next week.
. 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.

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. People today call each
other by their given names
much earlier than formerly.
One must, however, sense the
proper moment to drop formali-
ties. If everyone else in the
circle in which you move uses
first names, you are at liberty to
follow the trend.
Q. Is it considered proper for
a bride to telephone her thanks
for wedding gifts received?
A. Never, under any circum-
stances, should she thank
friends for wedding, gifts by
telephone or in person, A per-
sonal note must be sent prompt-
ly upon receipt of each gift,
Q. Is it proper ever to blow
on hot foods or liquids to hasten
their cooling?
A. It is better not.
Q. Is It proper for a man, who
meets a woman on the street
and who removes his hat in
greeting her, to keep his hat in
Ills hand during any conversa-
tion he might ha ve with the
woman?
A. This is not necessary, He
may replaces his hat on his head
soon after greeting her,
Q. 1 see bread and butter
plates on some tables, and on
others none. Is it proper to use
them?
A. They are not used at for-
mal dinners, although they ap-
pear quite regularly on the
family dinner table, and often
on the informal company din-
ner table, too.
Q. Is it the duty of the bride- '
elect to buy the dresses and ac-
cessories for her attendants? -
1
A. No; it is her privilege to
choose the designs and material,
but the attendants must pay for
their own outfits,
Q. Isn't it all right for a man
to take the arm of a woman
companion • when walking along
the street?
A. No, He may, however, as-
sist an elderly woman by taking
her arm, and lie may guide any
woman companion when cross-
ing streets or assist her in as-
cending or descending stair-
ways.
Q. Is it correct to have one's
telephone number engraved on
personal stationery?
A, No; the telephone number
is never used on personal sta-
tionery,
Q. I have noticed some people
taking a heaping spoonful of ice
oream, and then making several
mouthfuls of it. Is this proper?
A. No. Only enough for one
mouthful should he taken at a
time. '

(This is the second of two articles
on Canada's popular sport of curl-
ing, In the first article, which ap-
peared last week, Elmer Ferguson
told about the early days of curl-
• Ing in Canada.)
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.

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.

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. Margaret
has been a taster for 20 of them.
She knows every wrinkle in
what Burns called the "great
chieftain 0'• the puddin' race."
She only needs to take a tiny
bite to know whether it is good
.. 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

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 veterans of UFO are dying
out, but ' once in a while you
still meet the odd one who
speaks wistfully of days .gene
by when farmers.. knew what
they wanted and wentout' and
got it.

quality. 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.
Even after 20 years Margaret ,
still thinks there is nothing like
haggis. She always has one on
her table on St. Andrew's night,
Burns' Night, and New Year.
And she often takes one home
on ordinary days.
Margaret sees over half a ton
of haggis produced every week,
but she would never give away
to details of the recipe, These
details are a closely guarded
secret, more important to her
than any atomic plans. Where
is the recipe kept? In the vaults
of an Edinburgh bank!
