the stage in his career where he could
see the fruits of his labours as former
students rose to 'prominence In their
chosen vocation. He was always in
terestcd in their progress and teachors
played an important part in molding
the character of the citizenry of the fut-.
ure.
Mr. Jefferson was born at Donny-
brook, one of,a family of 12 children,
0 of whom became school teachers. He
recalled that the family across the rond
also comprised 12 children, They had
enougin for two i3useball teams anytime,
with extra pitchers.
He is the oldest teacher in point of
servlce in Huron County and has nev-
er taught outs!cle of Huron. Following

Congregation Hears Missionary
Speak On Korean Conditions
The Women's Misslonary Society
were in charge of the Sunday evening
Lions To Bhtz Town service in the Blyth United Church, it
On Behalf Of Red Cross, being their Easter Thank -Offering
Meeting:
The very stormy weather was ac-
countnble for the rather small congr--
gation.
Mrs, W. McVittie, president ,of the
W.M.S., was in charge of the meeting.
Members of the Frlendship Clrcle led
In the service of song and contributed
Iwo special numbers.
A duet, "In the garden," was sung Ly
Mrs, H. Campbell and Mrs. A. W. Wat-
son,
A quartette, comprising, Mrs. H.
Campbell, Mrs. Bert Gray, Mrs, A. W.
Watson and Miss Clare McGowan, sang,
Mrs. J. Mel)ougall, presided at the or-
gan. The ushers were, Mrs, G. Hodgins,
incl Mrs. D. Howes,
'fhe congregation listened with deep
interest as Miss Annetta Rose, a mis-
sionary on furlough from Seoul, Koren,
told of her work as a teacher in Korea
and conditions there.
Miss Rose slated, "When we speak of
the Korean war it is not quite correct,
but rather it was a war in Korea. It
was a Unitcd Nations war between
cicmocracy ad communism."
Miss Rose continued, "If I were ask-
ed If all Koreans in North Korea were
communists, I would reply, "If you had
to have a ration card to get food, and
in order to get a ration card, you hnd
to be a communist or profess to be a
sympathizer, what would you do?
'Up to the end of 1948, everyone who
possibly could' do so, escaped to South
Korea which is below the 38th paral-
lel. By June, 1050, the communists who
had made several vain attempts, finally
broke through and waged war and de-
struction in South Korea, Seoul is on-
ly 25 miles from the 381h parallel." -
Miss Rose gave a ivld description of
the confusion and dread of that day.
How they sat beside their rndio all
night awaiting promised_ instructions
and at three o'cock a.m., orders came
far all women with children to be cv-
neualed and at seven a.m. all women
were to leave at once.
Miss Rose had gone to Seoul in 1949,
taking with her a 5 -year supply of
clothing, bedding and cooking utensils,
but left that morning with only two
suit cases, all any of them were allowed
to takQ. They embarked for Japan on
a Norwegian freighter with normal
accommodation for twelve passengers,
but there were several hundred of
thein on board. Bad weather compelled
thein to remain in tlhe hold for three
days and two nights. They slept on
fertilizer bags.
When they were allowed to return
to Seoul, two years later, they found -
80 percent of the city In ruins and thelr
former house completely ransacked.
Miss Rose further stnted, "There are
400,000 orphans in South Koren, and'
only one in eight enn be taken care of
in orphanages. There is a terrlble need
in Korea for quills, clothing and food,
One quilt often has to do service for
five people living in n hole in a hill-
side with sacks flapping over the door -
day to keep out the bitter cold, for the
lutitude in Korea is the same as Now
York, but unlike our churches, their
churches are filled to capacity for ev-
ery service with from 2000,to 2,500
crowded together, sitting on the floor,
and more outside waiting for the next
service.
Miss Rose said, "If you ask n Kor-
ean, if he is going to chuh he will
look at you much surprised and say 'O(
course, I'm a Christian. It is only
peo')le who are not Christian that do
not go to church."
In closing, Miss Rose said; "The al-
location 'set by the Dominion Board of
tlne W.M.S. is something to be proud of,
not to complain about. God has been
very good to the people of Canada and
we cnnnot deny it, He has given us
so much, hoping we will be faithful
stewards and render and true account
of our stewardship of thne, talents and
possessions, for in the words of Christ,
'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one
of these, ye have done it unto mc'."
Following the service, Miss Clare
McGowan entertained at her hone,
honoring Miss Rose and Mrs. (Dr.)
Grierson, of Toronto, who accompnn-
led •Miss Rose;
Miss Rose showed many slides cf
her work, and conditions ,hh Korea, at
Miss McGowan's," She is very familior
with the great need in Koren, having
been a missionary teacher there for
thirty five years. She is. presently at
tending the United Church training
school in Toronto and following the
Easter exams, her plans are for ti
ntonths'Jecture tour, then in May and
June she will visit her home in Nova
Scotia before sniling July 1st to take
up her work again in Koreo,
Next Moeda ' evening, Aril
J g, p 4th,
members of the Blyth Lions Club will
canvass the town on behalf of the cur-
rent Red Cross Drive for funds.
The canvass will be made between
tine hours of 6 and 8 p,m., wain two
club members being allotted certain
territory, so that the job can be done
quickly and efficiently.
This is the second year thnt the Lions
Club has been responsible for the local
drive, which is only a small cog in the
national drive of the Cnnadinn Red
Cross Society to raise funds to carry
on their most important work.
The co-operation of the general pub-
lic will be nppreciated next Monday
evening by your canvasser who is only
doing his bit in contacting you for a

A Satirical Obituary
(Published by Rcquest)
Mrs. Prayermeeting died recency nt
the First Neglected Church on Worldly
Avenue. Born ninny yenrs ngo in the
midst of grent revivals, she was it
strong henithy child, fed on testimony
praise and heart holiness.' Quickly she
grew into world-wide prominence 'and
became one of the most influentin]
members of the famous church family
For the past several years Mrs
Prayermeeting has been in failing health
gradunlly wasting away until rendered
helpless by stiffness of knees, coldnesr
of heart, innctivity, weakness of pat,.
pose and �vi11 power. She has suffer•
ed splritual anemia, rheumatism, fatty
degeneration of the heart, general' par•
nlysis, loss of weight, dizziness, nne
weakness. She was but a shadow o!
her former happy self.
Modern surgeons and liberal phy::i•
clans, including Dr. Works, Dr. Joinery
and Dr, High Brow, disagreed as to the
cnuse of her fatal illness. These dpc.
tors administered large doses of organ.
ization, socials, contests, dnnces, bridge
parties, drives, athletics, suppers, binge
games, and finally tried rellgious edu•
cation; but to no avail.
A post-mortem showed deficiency o!
spiritual food, lack of prayer, fasting
faith, heartfelt religion, and nop-support
as contributing causes for bier death.
Only a few were present at her lass
rites. There were no flowers. Her
favorite hymns, "Amazing Grace" and
"There is a Fountain Filled with Blood"
were not sung. High soprano, Mis:
Ima Modern sang "Beautlful Isle of

"Dear Anne Hirst: The only
problem my husband and I have
is money. J work, and make
more than he does, but he could
earn several times as .much if
he had made up his mind to it.
The trouble is, my husband in-
sists on working on commission.
Some weeks he makes nothing;
others, up to $100, but his yearly
average is about $40. I have fig-
ured it all out. He refuses to ad-
mit he could make more on a
salary; he says a salaried man
never gets ahead. My argument
is that any ambitious man could
manage to be worth more than
his present income.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it
seems to me that figs aren't
nearly as much used in cookery
today as they were a few years
ago. Which is a pity, as they
have a much wider range of use
than many cooks realize.
Recently, in The Christian

are well worth passing along to

971E STANLEY CUI' — P4RT 11 .
• Some sirauge, , solno blzarre, some
dramatic and some hilarious incidents
have punctuated the long history of .the
Stanley. Cup, an and alf the ice, None
more diverting and fanelful, perhaps,
than the series of 1916, whlch' was fought
between tho champions of two leagues
who were warring ench other to the bitter eull, The start of
the series this week recalls same of these happenings,
Those were the days of the two major'leagues, The Pat-
riek brothers, Lester and Frank, w perhaps the most daring
promotional venture iniCanadian sports history, had deserted
the east, in which they had won high acclaim as players, and
invaded the Pacific Coast, to found a new professiona9 league.
of rnajar proportions, They built Canada's first artificial icc
rinks, three of them, and introduced hockey where it never
had been played before,
The shadows of a major war wero closing over the world
in early 1914, as the Victorias, champions of the Pacific
Coast, came east and were r•ebulTed in their Stanley Cup
hunt by a Toronto club that included "Happy" llolines, Frank .
Foyston and the late Jack Walker,
The world was at war the next year, and war between
the two big hockey leagues was starting• to cloud the sports
skies, The West Coasters purloined Tommy Smith of Quebec,
who had led the eastern scorers two successive years, Under
pressure, they returned him, but the peace was an uneasy
one. And when the 1915-16 season started, the eastern powers
suddenly realized their stockades had been invaded. For, as
Seattle lined up for its opening game, they had in goal "Hap-
py" Holmes, Ken Carpenter, Foyston and Walker of the
former champion Torontos,
The fight was, on. The eastern Ieagud had agreed to sub-
ject itself to draft by the young, nawerful western body. But
when pretty nearly an entire team .was filched by the darilrg-•
raiders, the east rebelled,
I;ut the dispute stili prevailed In the sprhrg of 1916. Even
then, the magnates of each league were by no means ready
to bury the hatchet: but nelther were they Inclined to pass
up the spoils of a Cup series, So, during a brief truce, the
Stanley Cup series was p.ayecl in�Montreal, Canadiens de-
feated the Portlancl Rosebuds, Then the League resumed their
warfnre, though It was settled soon after by a peace agree..
ment,

Wonder are names of cucumber
varieties which will be found
along with many others ip the
1955. seed catalogues. Cucum-
bers may be divided into pickl-
ing and slicing varieties, This
last group includes the varieties
more widely known to the gen-
eral public, since they are the
ones used for the home garden,
Names such as Straight -Eight,
A and,C, Delcrow, Windermoor
Wonder or Longfellow are fa-

names are new or relatively so.

Burpee Hybrid, Hybrid D,
Marketer and Marketer Long,
are recommended varieties
which are early and give a good
yield of attractive green fruits.
Other -varieties such as Niagara,

possibly in the Niagara• penip-

Some varieties have been de-
veloped with tender skin and
black spines. They are referred
to as the pickling varieties and
are used by the Food Processing
Industry for making gerkins
and other types of pickled cu-

are still nvailable and are pre-

The newer varieties have the
advantage of being resistant to
some troublesome diseases such
as cucumber mosaic virus or
cucumber scab, Hicrop Hybrid
developel by the Ontario Agri-
cultural College is resistant to
cucumber mosaic virus and so
are Ohio MR -17 and Ohio MR -
25. Wisconsin SMR -9 and Wis-
consin SMR -12 are resistant to
scab and to cucumber mosaic
virus, Some of these will be
available in the spring of 1955;
others may be in short supply

. PLAIN HORSE SENSE..
Uy F. (tU)t) VON PILLS
The marketing of farm prod-
ucts is primarily the responsi-
bility of farmers. As the indi-
vidual farmer has practically
no bargaining power when deal-
ing wth the big corporations
which buy most of his products,
farmers must band together for
collective bargaining and coop-
erative marketing of their prod-
ucts,
Although this principle has
quite generally been recognized,
farmers have not been given the
Opportunity to put it into opera•
tion.
POWER, TOO NARROW
The Ontario Farm Products
Act provides for a Farm Prod-
ucts Marketing Board, appoint-
ed by the government, tivith mar-
keting schemes for various com-
modities administered by local
boards, subject to the approval
Oi the producers concerned.
The powers conferred on the
Board under the present Act are
narrow. The Provincial Board
has power to arbitrate disputes,
investigate costs and marketing
methods, establish price nego-
tiating agencies, set minimum
prices, register producers, 11.
cense buyers and processors,
and may delegate all or any of
these powers to a local board,
In practice, however, price
fixing powers are never dele-
gated to a local board or even
used by the Provincial Board,
A11 the schemes under the Act
(about 24) provide for negoti-
ation of minimum prices be-
tween producers and buyers or
processors. If they fail to reach
an agreement, they may ask the
Provincial Board of arbitra-
tion,
This process is slow and cum-
bersome, especially if processors
deliberately delay it. It has hap-
pened that before an arbitra-
tion board brought down an
award, the crop had been har-
vested and sold by producers
for 'whatever price they could
get.
The great weakness of the Act
is that "regulation" is simply
authority fo>; collective bargain-
ing and that it Iwovides no
MAGNETIC SMILE—What makes
these choppers different isn't a
matter of appearance, Their
magnetic appeal for prospec-
tive wearers comes from small,
U - shaped magnets buried in
back portions of both plates.
Magnets oppose each other in
polarity, forcing plates to make
a snugger fit with the jaws.
Dlsptayed before the Chicago
Dentat ` Society, they're . design-
ed for mouths especially hard
to fit,
solution to the producers' prob-
lem that even when they act
together ttieir bargaining power
Is lar less than that of the blg
buyers,
Another wenkness of the pres-
ent system is the concentration
of all powers In the hands of
the government and govern-
ment appointed,. boards. This
makes the system subject to
political considerations and may,
dt times, provoke decisions. in-
fluenced by political expediency,
The only answer is direct
marketing by self-governing
bodies of producers with con-
sumer representation, to be
established by separate Acts of
Parliament and to operate under
the supervision of a Minister of
Cooperation.
Recommendations,
The present session of the
Legislature may be too far ad-
vanced to re -vamp the whole
system of farm marketing and
existing marketing schemes may
have tb get along for another
year under amended legislation,
However, farm organizations
can urge the government to
establish a new depnrtment to
take charge of all cooperative
activities including marketing of
farm products, and they can be-
gin right now to prepare their
proposals for new legislation to
be submitted to next year's
provincial parliament,

Diamond As
Paperweight
Latest unofieial estimate of
the vast fortune of the .70 -year-
old Nizam of Hyderabad is that
it amounts to about $85,000,000,
He owns four palaces staffed by
35,000 servants but leads a life
of comparative austerity.
The Nizam's jewellery is worth
at least $25,000,000, He never
travels outside India, He goes
for a daily drive with his wives,
guards and retainers, rarely
goes to the cinema and does not
possess a radio set.
He is often called the world's
richest man, Much of his time is
spent writing poetry. He usually
wears peasant clothes and al-
ways eats sparingly. Yet he pos-
sesses a collection of gold which
includes a table service for 150
people,
Since his state, occupying an
area of 83,000 square miles, was
taken over by the Indian Gov-
ernment, the Nizam's powers
have been much reduced, but he
remains today an important
figure and so wealthy that he is
reputed to use a large diamond
98 a paper -weight on his desk.
There is sweet music here that
softer falls
Than petals from blown roses
on the grass, -
Musie that gentlier on the spirit
lies,
'than tired eyelids upon tired
eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep
down from the bllssful skies.

half so dear —
So longed for — as the
hearth of home?

Attacked By 3,000 Wild Baboons
Size and savagery in animals
seldom go together. Some of the
smallest 'animals are extrernely
vicious and practically impos-
sible to tame, while large ani-
mals are often quite docile.
For sheer savagery, baboons
take some beating, although
they're only the size of a fairly
large dog. Capturing them alive
alive is a risky business, often
more dangerous than catching a
rhinoceros of a lion,
The efficiency of baboons' col'
lective s e c u r i t y organization
might we]i be -the envy of United
Nations. They are very socially -
minded animals, going about in
troops sometimes numberfng
several hundred, The, old males
rule .the troops with Victorian
sederity, monopolizing all the
females` and administering cor-
poral punlshment to the younger
members at the slightest sug-
gestion of misbehavloui' .or dis-
obedience,
These old males are brave, too,
and are quick to rally round any
member of the troop in danger,
They have been known to beat-
otl even the formidable leopard,
sometimes sustaining extensive
Injuries without retreating.
Professional hunters whose
job Is to catch animals alive for
zoos have had many uncomfort
able and dangerous experiences -
trapping these savage but loyal
members of the money tribe.
Before a trap can be set the
troop must be carefully watch-
ed and its drinking pools dis
covered, Then all except one
are barred wlth thorn bushes,'
To attract the baboons to the
remaining pool, all kinds of
favourite foods are scattered
around, After a few days .a bas-
ket -work cage made of saplinga
is placed in position and baited,
a long cord being attached to
the open door. Soon a troop ap-
proaches to drink, and in go
some of the members, A pull
On the cord, and the door closes
with a bang,
For a moment the captives sit
petrlfled with terror, then pan-
demonlum breaks eut. Unholy
screams from .within - are -an+
swered with equally blood-curd-
lIng yells. from without, as the
rest of the troop attack the trap
to release their comrades, For
the hunters this Is the crisls, In .
a short time the trap will be
demolished, The Would-be res=
f
suers must be beaten off at once.
Sometimes this can be done suc-
cessfully, But often tho troop
will attack and a battle ensues
before tL hunters are left with
their captives,
It was on such an occasion as
this that a party of hunters came
near to losing their lives. The
trap had been set, perhaps
rather recklessly, in the territory
of a huge troop of baboons esti-
mated to be 3,000 strong. No
sooner had the door been closed
on -a number of captives than
the rest of the troop attacked,
To the hunters it must have
seemed like a nightmare as the
savage hordes with bared teeth
and erect manes, and uttering
terrible screams, rushed upon
them, Despite their firearms and
cudgels, their position was crl-
tical, though somehow they
managed to get away,
- Then, quite suddenly, the at-
tackers transferred their atten-
tion to the trap, With concentra-
ted fury they flung themselves on
it, reduced it, to a complete
wreck, and departed with their
released fellows.
Even when the would-be res-
cuers are beaten off, there still
remains the highly dangerous
task of roping the captives ,and
removing them one by one to
separate travelling cages ready
for their''journey overseas, It
one should break out, woe be-
tide the unfortunate person who
meets it.
Baboons seem to have an un-
canny immunity to poisons. On
one occasion a captive baboon
escaped from its cage in the hold
of a vessel bringing it over from
Africa, For three days it re-
malned at large, then the hunter
In Charge and an assistant. were
lowered into the hold to attempt
to catch it with nets, As they
chased it around the hunter
stumbled and fell, -
In a moment the savage beast
was on him, and his legs and
hands'were badly mutilated be-
fore it could be beaten off. Both
men were eventually rescued,.
Poisioning was then suggested as
• the safest .way of avolding fur'
ther trouble, and a half-pint of
whisky contalning enough opium
to kill.ten men was lowered in-
to the hold,
The baboon promptly drained
the lot -= and showed not the
slightest symptoms of distress,
Thoughts On Books
!3y Fdm o us Writers .
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
—Emily Dickinson,
Books have always a secret
lntluence on the understanding;
we cannot at pleasure obliterate
ideas: he that reads books of
selence, though without any de-
sire Ilxed of Improvement, will
grow more knowing; he that en-
tertains himself with moral or
re]Igious treatises, will imper-
ceptibly advance in goodness;
the ideas which are often offer-
ed to the mind, will at last find
a lucky inoment when it Is dis-
posed to receive them,
—Samuel Johnson,
Of all the inanimate objects,
of all men's creations, hooks are
the nearest to us, for they con-
tain our very thoughts, our am-
bitlonsL our indignations, our
illusions, our fidelity to truth,
and our persistent leaning to-
ward error But most of all they
resemble us in their precarious
hold on life.
—Joseph Conrad,
The Images of men's wits and
knowledges remain in books;
exempted from the wrong of
time, and capable of perpetual
renovation,
—Frnncis Bucon,
In Dooks lies the soul of the
whole Past Time , . , All that
Mankind has ' done, thought,
gained or been: it is lying as in
magic preservation in the pages
of Books. They are the chosen
possession of men.

they are all the life
The very heart and core of ages
past,
The reason why men lived and
worked and djed,

The first time I read an ex-

If I had gained a new friend.

Canada won the World Cham-
pionship in Hockey Canada
against Russia , , , Canada -
five to nothing! What headlines
.. , what a victory! Even peo-
ple not usually interested in
sports will be delighted with
the result of that hockey match.
We needed a little good news
like that to boost our morale
after all the dire predictions
about the effect of too much
`-atomic activity. And then the
unpleasant weather we have
been having just lately, Last
week we had everything -
wind, snow, rain, sleet, fog and -
a thunderstorm, But then it's
March; we should expect almost
any kind of weather -- and the •
chances are we won't be disap-
pointed! Last year we had much
the same variety around this
time. Actually we ought to real-
ise how lucky we are; Think of
the floods in Australia and the
snowstorms in the British Isles.
What have we to grumble
about? Nothing really - but of
course we grumble just the
same, just as naturally as the
sparks fly upward, Anyway, the
sun Is shining this morning .
"enjoy the pleasant smiling '
hour." Let's, do just that. Why
not, when `Canada won the
Hockey Championship?
We had our own worries last
week - sick dogs. Honey has
practically rec9vered but 1 am
'afraid poor old Tip is finished.
We tried to bring her strength
with brandy and raw eggs but
her aging heart is giving out.
In all our years of farming she
will be the first dog to die a
natural' death. The others were
either shot by accident or intent,
or run over by cars, except in
one or two cases when we had
the 'vet' destroy the poor things
for viciousness or some other
bad habit. Apparently there is a
terrific lot of . sickness among
dogs just now. In some cases it
is a virus infection; in others, as
with Tippy and-; .Honey, it is
some kind oUlu, .The vet dosed
them with "sulpha drugs to •
which Honey ' reacted quite
favourably but I imagine Tip
was too far gone before we real-
ized she was sick._ The first sign
was a refusel to eat. I thought
perhaps she had caught a rabbit
and wasn't hungry: So, if you
have a dog that won'4 eat -
watch out. We shall miss poor
old Tip. She was excellent with
cattle and a good watch dog.
Still on the subject of dogs:
Remember what I was saying -
about dogs being dropped from
passing cars? One of our neigh-
bours actually saw it happen,
Unfortunately he did not get the
licence number of the car. A
car drove by and a black cocker
spaniel was left on. the . road,
The.driver evidently went up to
the next crossroads, turned and
came down the road again. The
little dog recognised the car and
raced after it but was soon out-
distanced. The farmer went into
the house for dinner, Next time
he opened the back door the
little dog ran in. His wife hadn't
the heart to turn it away so
,she fed it. A week later there
were six puppies. Three of them
died but the others have all
been promised homes. When the
puppies go, the poor faithful
little mother is to be taken to
the Humane Society 'as • these
people already have , a dog of
their own. So you see that Is
just one more instance of cruel-
ty an ,desertion on the part of
the original owners.

Flip of Coin Started Rosemary on Career;
Teresa Brewer, fledgling Thrush at Two
By DICK KLEINEIR
NEA Staff Correspondent
•
New York - (NEA) -- When
Teresa Brewer was two, she was
well started on the career that
made her one of ' the leading
thrushes of the day, When Rose-
mary Clooney was two, she was
just another kid,
That's how thrushes are cre-
ated - in many ways,
Teresa Brewer's career was
started for her by her parents.
She •sang in her home town of
Toledo, 0,, when she was bare-
ly through with pablum. By the
- titii'e she was five, she was a
regular with one of the Major
Bowes amateur units She's
been singing professionally ever
since.
Rosemary Clooney, on the
other throat, more or less stum-
bled into her career. When she
was 17, and her younger sister,
Betty, was 14, they started off •
one day from their home in
Maysville, Ky., to go swimming.
On the way, Betty mentioned
that she'd read that the big Cin-
cinnati radio station, WLW, was
holding auditions,
The sisters had sung around
home, and they'd talked some
about doing it for money. But
it was a hot day, and Rosemary
wanted to go swimming, Betty
said they might as well get an
audition, Rosemary held out
for the swhn, So they tossed a
coin. And it came up a star,
ROSEMARY CLOONEY: Holly-
wood gowns stirred ambition,
The audition got them a show
on tho radio station right away.
And before long Tony Pastor's
band came to town, needing a
girl vocalist Tony's manager
asked an old-time dance band
leader turned booking agent,
Barney Rapp if there were any
girl singers around Cincinnati.
Rapp suggested the two kids on
WLW.
And so the Clooney sisters
came to Rapp's office and sang
for Pastor, There was no piano
in the office, It didn't matter,
He took the two kids along, and
a few days later, wearing the
homemade dresses their grand-
mother had stitched up, they
were singing at the Steel Pier in
Atlantic City, Their Uncle
George went along as a guar-
dian,
Rosemary Clooney sang with
Pastor's band for almost three
years. Betty quit after a while
to go back to school,
Rosemary was only 18 when
she started with Pastor. She had
no great ambition even then.
The musicians remember her
mostly for her good spirits.
Then they played Hollywood.
The stars came to dance, Rose-
mary saw Ave Gardner and the
others, looking beautiful in their
expensive dresses, Right away,
an ambition was born. And it's
an ambition that's been realized,
Pastor's band' made records
spasmodically. On one session,
Tony and Rosemary did a duet
on a now -forgotten song called
"I'm Sorry I Didn't Say I'm
Sorry When I Kissed You Last
Night." Jos Shribman, Tony's
manager and now Rosemary's,
remembers clearly.
"I was 'in the control booth,"
he says, "I heard her sing and
I lit up. So did everybody. For
the first time, I guess, we were
really listening to her voice, On
.the 'bandstand, all we cared
about was. that she was in tune.
But I knew the minute I heard
her she had a big potential for
records,"
There were a few more duets
with Pastor,, then, under Shrib-
man'sguidance, she left the
bandand Gpliimbia signed her
to a .:ref'ol'd"contract, The first
recorilwerit.nowhere. Then she
made - a 'thing called "Me and -
My Teddy -Bear," as both a pop
record and a kiddy record, that
is still a kiddy best-seller. Af-
ter that came "Beautiful Brown
Eyes," which was doing reason
BREWER AND DAUGTER MEGAN: She started singing
when she was barely through pablum, but she prefers the nest,
ably well until it was overtgken
by her next record, "Come On -a`
My House," It made her a star.
Then came a procession of hit
records, capped by the pheno-
menal two-sided hit, "Hey,
There" and "This Ole House"
which sold more than 2,000,000
copies. Hollywood called her and
she married Jose Ferrer and a
flip of the coin on the way to
the swimmin' hole sure changed
a gal's life,
Like Rosemary's "Come On -a
My House," Teresa Brewer
traces her stardom to one rec-
ord; too, It was the bouncy
little novelty, "Music, s Music,
Music."
Between her Major Bowes
days and "Music, Music, Music,"
life wasn't too easy. She'd come
to Now York, and was singing in
.,•fl 44th Street cafe, but she was
dz•,ciquraged and was just about
tt:lgq back to Toledo, Then a
manager named RIchard . Laselia
• wziked past the cafe while she
was -singing and --
"And I heard this odd sound,"
Lasella says. "I went in and it
was her singing, I signed her up.
The big record companies turn-
ed her down, but I got her on
this other label. Her fourth rec-
ord was 'Music,' and she's been
rolling since."
.,. r
That odd sound is Teresa's
'trademark. It's best described
as what a kitten would sound
like if a kitten could sing. With
it, Teresa can rip into any kind
of song - from a plaintive bal-
lad like "'Til I Waltz Again -
With You," to the brassy "Jilt-
ed,"
Her kittenish voice and her
kittenish looks - she's a cuddly
95 -pounder - have led her to
popularity in night clubs, TV
and Hollywood. The only limit
to her activities is her prefer-
ence for ,home life.
She's married to a construc-
tion company executive, Bill
Monahan, and the - Monahan
have three daughters - Kath-
leen, 41, Susan, 3, and Megan,1.
(The older two singjust. like
Mommy, and delight in imitat-
ing her,) They live in .New
Rochelle, and Teresa turn -
down many lucrative offers in
order to stay home.
This is one.. thrush who pre-
fers the nest,

Canadian school readers, the
latter dating back to 1885. Evi-
dently school readers used to be
the same year in and year out
for quite a long time. In these
books there are poems that I •
remember very well although I
certainly wasn't around in 1885.
For instance I came across a
great old favorite of mine. —
"King Bruce and the Spider" -
in fact I believe that poem help-
ed ,me to overcome many child-
ish obstacles, "The spider "op
there defied despair,•he conquer •

ed; then why should not I?"
There was also "We are Seven"
by. Wordsworth. I. used to won-
der why the, man was so stupid
- why couldn't' he understand
that . to the little cottage girl
there still were seven in her
family? And there was the
sailor from "the Gray Swan"
who returned to his mother af-
ter twenty years; And how he
was welcomed, "After Blen-
heim" was another favourite.
Peterkin asks -- "Now' tell us
all about the war, and what .
they fought each other for." And
old Kasper replies - "Well, that
I cannot tell," says he, "but
'twas a famous victory." . An

old answer, neither one changes
much with the years.
I suppose most of the prose
and poetry in the old school
readers was - 'sob stuff'' but at
least it appealed to the imagina-
tion and left an impression that
lasted through the years, -
Another article, decidedly
modern; is well worth reading.
Dr, rock Chisholm, in Week-
end Magazine, says the greatest
threat in the world today is
over -population, Feeding the
masses is NOT the answer.
World-wide birth control is the
only solution. He also advises
inter -marriages as a - means of
combatting racial - prejudice,
Making War On
Deadly Spiders
Mexico is to wage full-scale
war' shortly against one of the
most viclous killers to the
world, the "Assassin" scorpion,
which claims between 2,000
and 2,500 lives annually.
No serum has been found that
is effective against this ,scor-
pion's sting, which kills witifin
a minute,
The scorpion is found mainly
in the Mexican provinces of
Durango, Nayarit and . Jalisco,
where a poison is being de-
veloped for spraying strips - of
the Sierra Madre Occidental
mountains, the breeding places
of the Assassin scorpion.
In the wheat belt' of the Cape
Province, South Africa, another
form of war has also been de-
clared --this time against the
Button spider, whose sting is
fatal In about six cases out of
every ten unless a serum injec-
tion - is given at once.
Now a poison has been found
which is harmless to animals
and human beings, but fatal to
the Button and other spiders,
"This is the way,” laughed the
great god Pan '
(Laughed while he sat by the
river),
"The only way since gods began
To make sweet music, they
could succeed." .
Then, dropping his mouth to a
hole in the reed,'
He blew in power by the
river:

The Cross and Christian
Discipleship, 2 Corinthians
Galatians 2:20-21; 6:14-17
Memory Selections: God for -
hid that I should glory, save in
the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom the world is
crucified unto me, and I unto the
world, Galatians . 6:14.
• The cross is central in Chris-
tianity, Omit it and Christianity
is no longer Good News. Even
the ethics set forth in the New.
Testament loses its power if
Christ did not die for us. No
wonder Paul wrote,. "1 deter-
mined not to know any thing
among you, save Jesus Christ,
and him crucified," • 1 Corin-
thians 2:2, One wonders if mod-
ern emphasis on the psycholo-
gical aspect of religion is tend-
ing to obscure the central truth
that Jesus Christ died for our
sins. Yes, we need to understand
ourselves better. But this will
not save us. Only as we cling"
to Jesus Christ as our Lord - and.
Saviour will we find deliverance
from sin. Let us not shy away
from those hymns which focus
our attention on the blood of
Jesus Christ that was shed for
us on Calvary. Salvation is in
Him and Him alone.
Paul speaks of his own cruci-
fixion with Christ; also of his
own crucifixion to the world
and the world to him. This im-
plies more than the forgiveness
of our sins, It involves a walk-
ing in the way that Christ walk --
ed. We are to be like Him. Chris-
tianity is a life to be lived day
by day, It is the path of self-
renunciation and consecration to
all the .will of God. No longer
do - we live for self but Christ;
not self-centered. but Christ -
centered.
The cross has influenced us
all more than we realize, J. F.
Gregory - writing in Arnold's
,Commentary says, "There is
nothing stronger in life than
vicarious suffering, -- If we
think of a soldier as one whose
business is to kill, we recoil
from hint in horror, If we think
of him es one who exposes hts
body to death for the purpose
of protecting the weak, at once
he wins our admiration, The
cross of Christ claims the best
in us, for there we see suffer-
ing love at its 'highest," Let us
proclaim the cross by word and,
action,
CONVINCED
An elderly man consulted a
doctor about his health,
"Frankly," said the doctor,
"it's quite obvious to me that
you .drink too much, If you
don't cut it out, spots will ap-
pear on your face."
The advice and the prophecy
were . both unacceptable to the
patient, who, with a few words
of derision, departed,
In a month, he returned,
wearing the promised spots,
"Doctor," he said, admiringly,
"you were quite right after all.
D'ye know anything for the
Kentucky Derby?"
And I .am praying God on high,
And I am praying Him night
and day,
For little house - a house of
my own. --

rain's way.

Under Glass
The very first planting job will
not be in the garden outdoors at
all, but in the hot bed or special
flats placed in bright windows
indoors, A hot bed is simply a \.
glass covered yard or so 01
special rich fine soil, heated with
manure, electrically or some
other means, Where a lot of
plants are to be started the hot
bed is the ideal solution and one
is advised to get a Government
Bulletin on the subject and fol-
low the directions. Where only
a few dozen started plants are
needed one can sow seed in tine
soil in a shallow box and place
in a sunny window. Where this
is not possible or practicable one
simply purchases the started
plants later on from any seed
store or nurseryman.
In this indoor planting it is
important to use- tine rich soil,
mixed with a little sand or leaf
mould, One should not plant
more than ' a few weeks before
it will be safe to transplant out-
doors. If these things start to
grow too early they will get toe
tall . and spindly to stand the
shock of transplanting well.
Keep it Informal
The simplest design is usual-
ly the most effective in garden
layouts and for the non-profes-
sional it is also much the easiest.
• Except, of course, along walla,
walls and similar fixed features,
it is best to avoid straight lines
both in the flower garden and in
laying out shrubs and trees.
The experts urge planting In
clumps, with two or three or
more of each plant in a group,
For the centre and foreground -
nothing is better than a real good
lawn. On city lots this may only
be a few square yards The grass
sets oft the whole layout and it
should lead up to the flower gar-
den with possibly shrubs or
trees or a vine covered trellis
or fence in the background, or as
a division between say a kitchen
or vegetable garden plot at the,
rear.
Shrubs and flower borders are .
also used to line driveways and
fences. Against the house itself
but at least a foot or so in fronto
one can plant groups, of shrubs
or taller flowers.
In the flower garden or border
the informal or clump planting
is continued. Rather 'than set-
ting out in rigid rows, one should
plant groups of various flowers
with the little things like alys-
sum, dwarf . nasturtiums, lobe•
llas and so on, in front, Taller
things like zinnias, petunias, as-
ters towards the centre and real-
ly tall 'flowers such as cosmos,,
marigolds and delphiniums at
the rear.
Walt Until Ready
It's a great mistake to do any
general sowing or cultivating
while the ground is the least bit
muddy. Heavy soil is injured
and later trouble results When
it is dug ' or worked too soon. A
good test is to take a little earth
and squeeze it in the hand. It
when released it crumbles, but
does not pack, it is fit for the
spade or plow. If it doesn't
crumble, it best to wait a few
days longer. Thereisno gain In
rushing the season,

FOSTER MOTHER
"For Little Pigs"
When more than twelve piglets arrive in
a littei', what do you do with number thir-
teen and onwards? If a -newly farrowed. sow
suddenly goes dry, what becornes of her lit-
ter? ,
Killing entails a total loss. Feeding, by
bottle often costs more than it saves, The
introductionof the Arnold Electric Foster
Mother enables you to feed every piglet born
on your farm, no matter how many there
are in a litter.
Also, and this is most important, it pre•
vents the need for any sow having to suckle
' moi'e than nine piglets at a time, the maxi-
mum number, according to authoritative op-
inion, which any sow can feed if her piglets
are to develop to the maximum advantage
and if -she herself is not to be "pulled" down.
NO GETTING UP AT NIGHT -
Arnold Foster Mothers have this great advantage --- they can be left on all
night without fear of danlage...Hence much "getting up at night" can be a-
voided by'leavng the Foster Mother in the pen last thing at night, well filled
and switched on, for the piglets to feed from as they feel inclined. The cur-
rent consumption is so small that in 24 hours the total cost would amount to
less than a penny. - -

seen for years, but will be happy .to
bo home again in Canada,
His life before going to the cross gathers its sig,nificunce from the fact that de -
site the cross Ile still lives, '
Ho challenges men to lose their llves freely, joyously, ler His sake and
the gospel's. He lives, and because He lives we too shall live, This Is the basis
of the paen of joy that rings throughout' the New 'testament. In proportion as
the fact that 1Ie lives becomes as vivid to its as It was to the enrly diselples, we
too shall huve that same abundant,joy.
Sing soul of mine, this day of days,
The Lord is'rlsen,
Toward the sunrise set thy face,
The Lord is risen. -
Bchold He glveth strength and grace;
For darkness, light; for mourning, praise;
For sin, His holiness; for conflict, peace.
Arise, 0 soul this Easter Day!
Forget the tomb of yesterday,
For thou from bondage art set free;
'Thou share ,t In -His victory
And life eternal is for thee.
Because the Lord is risen.

fifty-five Londesboro members,
Following the dinner, Londesboro
Secretary, Mrs, Arthur Clark, called
the roll and the big moment had ar-
rived that all the Sunshine Sisters of
the Londesboro Branch had been wait-
ing for, the revealing of the identity of
the one who had remembered her on
various oecasioos during the year, but
had kept the secret so well.
As the name on the roll was called,
they were required to tell who they
thought it hnd been: A few of the
guesses were correct, but others drew
O plank, and then her Sunshine Sister
revealed her -identity by pinning a cor-
sage on her as a parting gesture.
One amusing Incident was when Mrs.
Emerson Hesk said she had no idea who
her Sunshine Sister had been, but by
the gifts she had received, it must be
some one who vlsits at her home.
To Mrs, Hesk's amazement, her twin
sister, Mrs, Galtnt, arose and pinned a
corsage on her. She hnd kept -the sce-
ret well.
Names were, drawn for the 1055-50
Sunshine Sisters, following which a
short program was enjoyed conslsUng
of ducts by, Mrs. Tom Allen and Mrs,

"Dear Anne Hirst: While in
high school two years ago our
daughter, 20,met
-a young man
10 years older whom she has
not been able to shake off. She
is training to be a nurse, and we
are much distressed about his
effect on her. He is a D,P., has
no' education, and speaks broken
English. She promised a year
ago to give him up, but last
week she came home terribly
upset. When she tries to end
the friendship • he goes to pieces,
and she weakens.
"Her closest girlfriend thinks
our girl Is mentally ill, She takes
no interest in shows or dancing
or sports, and I realize she is
far from well. She has lost too
much weight in training, though
she is doing well in it. •
"We have always been proud
of our three girls and we 'are
not trying to dominate this one;
but we feelshe is most •unwise
to keep on with this friendship.
What do you suggest?

"Dear Anne Hirst: For nearly

larly with a fine young man. Re-
cently I called the whole thing
off—and how sorry I amt I find
I love. him more than I knew,
and I miss him more than I can
bear.
"Twice since then I've been

Poor old Tippy finally died.
He departed this life last Mon-
day and the farm seems lone-
some without him. According to
our "vet" a virus infection had
penetrated the liver and spleen
and was the main reason why.
Tip refused to eat. When I told
the vet Tip was eleven years old
he exclaimed, "Well, after all,
what could you expect?"
And now for some good news.
Last Thursday I heard geese
overhead.. At least I thought I
did, • but I wasn't sure as I
couldn't see them. But the next
day a neighbour told me he
heard geese, too. So'';I guess 1
was, right, even thoilgh it does
seem early, Early geese, early
spring—isn't that the old saying?
And who will grumble if it
proves to be true? Just for the
record, the date on which I
heard the geese was March 10,
I haven't seen or heard a robin
yet, but there was. a blue jay
out for an airing this morning
and there are certainly, plenty
of crows and starlings around
and the cows are sort of sniffing
the %ir when they are turned
out to drink—the way they do .
when spring is in the air. The
willows are getting a yellowy
look and the creek is ,running
fast, washing away a corner of
our front field down by the road,
due to a faulty engineering job •
at the time the highway was
built. As if there wasn't enough
soil erosion in the country al-
ready. -
Farm auction sales are corn-
ing along thick and fast these
days, In the last three to be
posted the present owners :are
retiring and younger !nen have
purchased the farms. Which Is
all to the good. We !lope . the ,
trend continues. -
You know, farm folk have a
tot of , adjusting nowadays -and
it isn't always easy. As every-
one knows Saturday used to be
the.. shopping *day, tor•„farmers'-
and their .families. As "recently.
as' ten years ago almost every
small town was crowded on Sat
urdays with country folk intent
on weekend shopping, and of.
course visiting 'among, themselves .
.especially .on Saturday nights.
The families .of. business people -
were seldom seen in any great
number down town on a Satur-
day. There was a sort of un•

the farmers, It made It easier

alike. Industrial workers were
working six days a week at that
time. When they did their shop-
ping I don't know. But of course
there were fewer of them around
as industrial plants were small-
er in size and number. But the
picture has changed. They have
the five-day week—so now it is
the industrial workers and their
families who- more or less take
over the small town centres on
Saturdays. Pay envelopes pro-
vide the means for the house-
wives' shopping; Saturday mati-
nees a weekly treat for the chil-
• dren and every available inch of
parking space is taken up,
Country children also want to
go to the Saturday matinee and
to be taken to town while moth-
er goes shopping. So a great
number of farm people must still
go down town Saturday after-
noon. Of course they used to
wait until Saturday night, but
that is practically a thing of the
past as now small town store -
keepers practise Saturday nigh)
closing. The result , . , farmers,
factory workers, men, woniell
and children, from town and
country, all crowd into town at
approximately the sane time.
Stores are jammed, lural folk
who leave their shopping until
Saturday have trouble in get-
ting served, Older farmers, not
having children who look for -
'ward to this Saturday treat, now
do their hest to avoid Saturday
shopping. As for me, there is
only one thing that takes me to
to town on a Saturday afternoon
—just to pick up the weekend
edition of a certain newspaper
which I would hate to miss, and
to get a few books from the
library,
Last Saturday I found the
town particularly busy and I
stood at the back of one of the
stores—just watching, Finally,
during a momentary slack pe-
riod,.I said to the storekeeper,
"You must notice quite a differ-
ence in trade these days. His
answer surprised me,
"Not as much as you might
think," he replied. "The extra
town trade we get doesn't begin
to make up for the loss of coun-
try trade which is becoming in.
creasingly evident with the re-
duction in farm incomes. We
have been aware of the change
for some months now."
Naturally many country folk
know only too well that farm
incomes have suffered .o set-
back; but it was the first time I
had heard it was being.reflected
in small town consumer buying.
In fact I had often wondered
how long it would take farmers
generally to realize they were
not as well off as they might
think. Sometimes it takes a gar-
ment quite a while before it
actually bursts at the seams, As
far as I can see Saturday night
closing only aggravates the situ-
ation, In fact I know of a few

The other day a woman
walked into the lost property

pany in Edinburgh. She asked
in a foreign accent: "Ilave you
a pair of gloves I lost?" The
man behind the counter search-
ed the shelves, but told her the
gloves had not turned up.
As he was turning away, the
woman peered Into his face and
said, "You are Smith!" The
man was amazed. He is indeed

Mr. Smith took a closer look
at the woman, and slowly he
began to remember who she
was. She told Mr, Smith she
had married a Scots soldier and
was now living happily in

• All honour to the Penticton V's. In
the face of trying circumstances, they re-
covered the distinction .rightly Canada's,
the hockey championship of the world,
' thus throwing sand into the gear -boxes '
of a propaganda machine that must have
been hopefully poised to grind out praise
for the athletic superiority of the sturdy sons of the Soviet.
And now that we have won back what was really ours,
triumph in our own national game, should we call it a day?
Should we refrain from further participation in this annual
orgy of insults, mis-statements and accusations which are
inevitable when one of the participants is seeking to use a
sport for national propaganda purposes?
There is tho thought that Canada should continue to
participate first, in the interest of friendly relations with coun-
tries outside the iron curtain; second, for the international good
of hockey, to help spread the gospel of our crackling winter
sport,
But as to the event known as the world championships,
we believe It is nils -named. Everybody knows that no real
world championship, meaning world superiority in hockey,
is seriously involved unless the . champlons of the National
Hockey League, or the Stanley Cup holders, are involved,
' �' z� y �!3,•<.$1{'ty` "•Y':SA� Ko t Yi3�dn>FCs� ?p ..
Of course, there can be produced that over -ripe red her-
ring to indicate that this is the "world amateur championship".
But that isn't going to deceive anybody, because everyone
knows that in hockey at that level, simon-pure amateurism
is as scarce as' the dodo -bird. And everyone knows, too, that
Russia's athletes are part of the propaganda machine, stall -
fed, government-sponsored, government -controlled, their acti-
vities suitably recompensed. Russia has its own brand of
amateurism, something contrived to suit the circumstances.
And now that the fight has been won, and Canada's hockey
superiority re-established to the embarrassment of the Krem-
lin's propaganda machine, is thele any virtue in carrying on
with a pointless chore? Everybody in sport is fully aware.
that Canada is supreme in hockey.
•
Our victories in this tournament, over teams that in some
cases could hardly make a respectable showing in Canada's
midget hockey leagues, prove nothing new. Or should we
continue so that hockeyshall become a more universal winter
sport?

Controlled orderly marketing is.;

• Of co-operative marketing,' the
Union' said 'that .any criticism

General': Principle. .
• The Union wants to see con- .
. trol over 'the marketing of.?arm
products in .the hands of pro=
ducers instead' of vested
in boards , whose •• members
are appointed by, the .gov
ernments. ' .They proposed the
.abolishment:of 'the government

asked, that, "an••y ` marketing

Any .such. scheme shall be

Consumer Representation.
The Union maintained that
"marketing . boards' or agencies
'established *under present legis-
lation have been sadly.lacking
the. power to market, in . other
words, the power to buy . and
sell' and that existing boards
are only ' negotiating commit-
tees. It was 'therefore proposed
that the powers, be extended to
include:,the' powers (a) to mar-
ket; (b) to process. the.product,•
(c) to fixprices, ' '
To prevent a possible abuse of
such far reaching powers, the
Union recommended .that:• a
number . of members, not ex-
ceeding one fifth;, of a market-.
ing board `be appointed.- by the
'Minister . to represent .consumer
. interests. Provincial Loans,
To facilitate the ,establish-
ment of •more and larger pro-

Union requestedthe. assistance

Fined For
Kissing .Wife
Inspired by the sight of a
;pretty girl, a : romantic young
Austrian kissed her in the street,
/against her will:
, She summoned him for as -
'fault, declaring that , he was . a
stranger and that she greatly re
'rented being kissed by., someone.
- to whom she had not been in-
troduced.
After hearing' the evidence,
-the court decided the man was
guilty -of stealing : a kiss.- They r
fined him • heavily, but he ap-
pealed to the highest court in
Vienna. The supreme • judge
'listened ,carefully'to him and to.
the girl :and then gave judg-
ment.
"To kiss a girl ,against her
will is 'not'a crime,” he pro-
nounced. "You ,werewrongly
fined. ''Custom has made such
kisses ; a recognized part of our
social system:'
KIssers in public have fre-
quently got into trouble, so the
Austrian can consider .himself
lucky, In Belfast • a few years
ago a .young.. man and a girl
were locked up overnight mere-
ly because they kissed frequent -
]y in the .street.'
In the days when Philadelphia
had an anti -kissing law, the
skipper of 'a merchant ship,
Captain Montague, was flned
twenty dollars for having kissed
his wife on landing after a six
months' voyage,
LAW'S "LIST"
The fine was paid. Then Cap-
tain Montague, in order to prove
(as he said) that no malice was
borne, asked the magistrates to
dine aboard his ship before he
left for his next voyage,
They, accepted his invitation.
He plied .them with so much
liquor that most of them were
soonrather tipsy. Then the cap-
tain told them: "Gentlemen, I
have a strict law against drunk-
enness on my ship, just as you
'have a law against kissing in
your streets, I paid my penalty,
you must pay yours."
He then instructed his boat-
swain to administer to each er-
ring magistrate a dozen strokes
with a birch.

'It took' a Roman •Caesar to
hold up progress more than two
thousand' years, It happened at
the sumptuous palace of the
Rgman princes:. where Tiberius
Caesar, -Emperor of Rome, glow-
ered from his luxurious couch
at the craftsman who sought
a
udience with him,
"What is. it you would show
me?" he demanded.
From the folds of his garment
the man drew forth a beautiful -
y moulded goblet',of sparkling
1855. He held'. it, up' to the light
and gazed at it with pride,
"Watch, 0 Emperor!" he cried.
With a quick gesture -he dash -
e
d the crystal cup to the stone
dor of the palace. There were
whispers of witchcraft as the
courtiers stared in wide-eyed
mazement, The glass. had not
s
battered; only a dent showed
here it had struck the floor.
The craftsman stooped, picked
u
p the -goblet and hammered it
back into shaped.
"Does anyone else know the
secret of this glass?" thundered
berius,
"No," said the man proudly,
But his pride soon turned to
fir, for a terrible anger cloud -
d the Emperor's features as he
oke again: "If this art be pro -
pa
gated, rill goblets will be made
this — and our gold and sil-
ve
r ones will be as worthless as
rU"
The craftsman paled at the
Emperor's next words, Tiberius
w
as ordering the soldiers to take
m away and execute ]Lim. '
And so the invention of safety
ass, protector of every motor-
ist,
was delayed for more than
twenty centuries,
To exist is to change, to
sage is to mature.
—Henri Bergson.
