Brief Anniversary Greeting
In .Midst.'O'f Publication
Wouldn't you know thot in the midst
of publleation falls the 27th wedding
annlverlu'y of Ye Ed, and his wife.
Twenty-seven years ago this 7th of
June, at the Ontario Street United
Church parsonage, Clinton, a young
guy by the name of Kenneth Whit-
more stood beside his lady faun', Gladys
Blake, and said those words before the
Rev, A. E. Doan that has brought ns
struggling together down through the
hntcrvening happy and busy years.
At the time the present editor of The
Standard was the Linotype operator on
the staff of The Clinton Ncws-Record,
and Dorothy Gladys was on the staff
of the Clinton post office,
Times in n newspaper office were
just as busy In those days mis they are
today. We practically rushed the paper
off the press en Thursday, look off for
the preacher's residence, went on a
week -end honeymoon, and then rushed
home on Monday to start to work on
lbe next issue. It's been pretty much
that way ever since.
Six years later our prlde and joy,
Douglas Raymond Kenneth arrived to
gladden our hearts.
The next blg event wus when we
cnme to B1j th in May, 1938, to take
over The Standard from the late A. W.
Robinson.
And now, by heck, rlght in the
midst of the eleetlon campaign comes
our anniversary, and all we've had
time to do Is wish each other a happ,,'
anniversary, and carry on with the
setting of election advertisements and
news events.
Some of these week -ends, we keep
telling ourselves, we'll "fiy the coop"
and lel the work go h'ang,
We suppose most editors have mumb•
led the same resolutlons to themselves
In simllar clrctlrnslances. .

"Dear Annie Hirst: My wile
and I have been married nearly
five years and have a three-
year-old daughter. I thought we
were perfectly happy; we spent
all our spare moments together.
Suddenly last February she left
me and went to her father and
mother. All the explanation she
gave is that she doesn't love me
any more,
"I went to a •. western town,
and she came and spent 10 days
with me, .She told me that she
has fallen in love with an 18 -
year -old boy and wants me to
divorce her! Now she doesn't
answer my letters.
"Should I grant her wish, or
try to win her back so our
daughter can be with us both?
Do you think I have a chance?
JOHN"

When a child is born, its pa-
rents can no longer consider

An Object Lesson
American Protestants some-
times are criticized as being stub-
born, selfish, heartless, and
bigoted because they resist ap-
peals of Roman Catholics for bus
transportation, textbooks, lunch-
es, nurse service, or other and
more direct subsidies to their
parochial schools at public—that
is, taxpayers' expense.
In many European countries
government subsidies to "confes-
sional" schools of several faiths
go much further than this, in-
cluding building costs and teach-
ers' salaries. In France, Germany
and to some extent Britain and
the Netherlands, it has taken real
effort to preserve adequate sup-
port for state schools,
In Belgium it has long been

December the Belgian Parlia-

cial ban on such demonstrations,
Several hundred arrests were
made. A Catholic newspaper de-
scribed the disturbance as a
"memorable protest".

Each week the country seems
more lovely than the preceding
week. Now it is lilac time . .
and such a profusion of blossom
— to say nothing of the per-
fume. But I still miss, the la-
burnum. In England purple lilac
and yellow laburnum come into
bloom at the same time — and
the colouring is just Perfect, "d
remember . . , my brother set
the laburnum on his birthday —
the tree is living yet."
My brother didn't set it but
there was a laburnum in our
garden, and great clusters of
delicate yellow flowers hung
. suspended from its boughs. Will
laburnum grow in Canada I
wonder? Seems to me I have
seen it a time or two — and
I can't see why it shouldn't. But
you never _ can tell. Plant life is
very temperamental. Take wall-
flowers for instance . . . those
lovely . brown, gold and bronze
wallflowers that grow so easily
In England. But where in Can-
ada can you find them? 'Ap-
parently the climate is too hot
for : them, And primrose, cow-
slips and bluebells — none of
them likes our Canadian wint-
ers. However, we have plenty of
flowers in Canada that won't
grow in England our lovely
trilium, . for instance.
And the birds Old Country
folk miss the skylark, nightin-
gale, cuckoo and the little red
robin. Remember walking
through the woods in spring and
how thrilled we'd be the first
'time we heard the cuckoo? We
knew it was a ,lazy, good-for-
nothing bird, laying its eggs in
another bird's nest; enjoying the
pleasures of parenthood without
taking over its responsibilities,
but yet we couldn's help loving
the cuckoo's song — "Cuck-oo
cuckoo!" And somewhere in the
distance would come an echo --
"Cuck-oo ... cuckoo."
As for the nightingale — there.
isn't any other bird -song that
can .possibly compare with the
nightingale for sweetness. It be- r
longs to moonlight nights, a
park beside a lillypond: two• in
a canoe idling down -stream
and love's young ;- dream. By
contrast, during World War I I
heard Zeps zooming and a
nightingale singing all at one,
and the same time.
The skylark ... who can for-
get the skylark as he soars aloft
in a burst of song? I wonder how'

little piece in the Globe and

ISSUE 23 — 1955
Mail a week ago about the sky-
lark sent to Canada with an im-
migrant boy to cheer his lone-
liness, The sprightly song of the
little bird proved to be the
greatest ambassador of goodwill
that could possibly be imagined.
The story reminded me veiy
much of Wordsworth's poem
about a thrush that I loved so
much in my youth -- still do for
that matter. "At the corner of
Wood Street ... hangs a thrush
that sings loud , . , poor Susan
has passed by. the spot and has
heard in the silence of morning
the song of the bird." And in
the song of the bird Susan re-
members so much of the home
she hnd loved.
Well, it hasn't been all birds
singing and flowers blooming
around here. There has been
some work done too. John and
his hired man were over to put
in. a field of oats and there were
two tractors going most of the
time. The men were here for
dinner and went home for chores
and supper. Friday night Johnny
came back again and worked in
the field until after twelve that
night for himself, not for us!
Saturday morning he came along
with a team for the drill and a
girl to drive the tractor. Maybe
so much ambition should be
commended . . , but I d o n' t
know. Rushing a job like that
must be very exhausting, Any-
way, it makes Partner and I
feel tired just to see them at it.
We can still put in a fair day's
work ourselves — but not at
that pace.
We sent some cattle out
earlier in the week — a cow
and two veal calves. Poor old
Jane — she finally went to the
stockyards, after Partner
threatening to send her out for
several years. But there was al-
ways some hold-up . , , "Might
as well wait until after the calf
is born" or "I'd like to get a little
more meat on her first" Now
Jane hasgone, and she tipped
the scales at 1190 lbs., so, for an
old cow, she wasn't exactly skin
and bone.
Our few remaining hens are
doing fine. Partner said the
other day they were laying 98%.
"Why 98?" I asked. Partner was
• not sure whether it was always
98 but it wouldn't sound right to
say you got 16 eggs: from 18
hens. 'Everything .: has to be
worked out in percentages these
days! Maybe Perner listens to
too many farm broadcasts at
.the barn •-- or gets • more in-
formation than he can make
use of. This struck us as funny.
Partner had been very interest-
ed in Mr. Leatherbarrow's idea
•
of "Gold in the Grass". When
he knew the author was to ad-
dress the local Seed Fair last
spring he wanted to hear him.
But he had a friend staying liens
at the time, Partner tried to get
our friend Interested enough to
go to the meeting with him. But
it was useless. A few weeks
later this same man was back
aagin, and, quite by accident,
had conte across "Gold in the
• Grass" and had read it. He was
terribly enthused — "best book
I ever read", Apparently he did
not connect the author with the
speaker Partner had wanted to
hear but told him all about the
book, assuming, no doubt that
it was all news to Partner. And
that's the way it was left. Part-
ner can act awfully dumb when
he feels like it.
Class Submarine
A strange sight among the
multi -coloured exotic fish that
swarm in the clear blue waters
of the Caribbean, nosing over
the coral and through the beau-
tiful garden of tropical seri
plants, is a tiny "glass" subma-
rine.
Cramped within the special
shell, adventurer Edward J. Le-
Compte andtwo of his friends
peer out the wonderland or
colour and shadow searching for
sunken treasure.
The foaming white surf thund-
ers against the golden beaches
of the Islands — islands whose
rocky approaches are strewn
with the wrecks of storm -ra-
vaged ships that foundered
through the centuries.
LeCompte got his romantic
treasure -hunting ideas back In
Oklahoma City when, two years
ago, $1,800,000 worth of gold was
recovered off Nassau, in the Ba-
hamas. He had always been fas-
cinated by old yarns of deep -see
treasure and this made him de-
cide to find out for himself.
His fourteen -foot submarine
can withstand water pressure at
2,700 feet, can carry a load of
3,000 pounds and cost some $15,-
000 to. complete, He says he
built it of fibreglass because the
material is three times stronger
than steel for Its weight,

• In a spurts magazlne, a few weeks
back, there was a story of a typical
American dad, wino took his kids to
Florida on a late winter holiday, and
there nttempted to teach them the fun-
damentals of baseball.
Well, this dad, like a good mnny
other dads, really didn't know too much, technically, about
tho niceties of throwing curves, or holding a bat properly.
He was doing the best he could.
One day, a big, good-natured chap who was watching,
excused himself, took the bol, and said: "You hold it this
way, ,sonny." Before he left he wrote his autograph into the
ktdsl books: "Stan Musial,
The incident reealled 10 ale what a big league umpire
once said about Musial: "He's a pleasure to umpire behind
at the plate," Ouce in a great while he thinks the call is
bad, Then he turns his neck and gives the lump a hurt look.
That's his idea of raising a beef. IIe never says a word.
"Even the empires love Jilin, had 1 copldn't pay him a
higher compliment. Muslal is 100 percent, on and oft the fleld."
For goocl-followship, Stan Musial has much in common
with Jack Dempsey, Years ago, this writer was one of a
group travelling with the boxing champion and his manager,
Jack Kearns, There was some argument as to who would
occupy the drawing room Dempsey cheerfully surrendered
this privllege to the sports -writing cavalcade, "I'n1 lucky,"
he said, "to be in the pullman car, and not still ricling the
rods,"
Musial, so the umpires say, is not the temperinental kind,
Nothing upsets the equilibrium of Stan the Man, His team
was playing a night . game in Ebbets • Field, St. Louis vs,
Brooklyn, and a-IIttle German band of five or six pieces was
tootling loud, The band was really not for the music, just
for laughs. In three times at bat, Musial had combed a triple,
a homer and a single, When Stan came up for the fourth
time, the umpire asked him if the music bothered his con-
centratlon, If it did, the plate umpire had nuthority to wave
his arms and cause the musicians to cease assaultir,g the
night air,
"Oh, let the band play. They're having fun They're not
dlstraeting me," Musial told the official, whereupon he rlfled
a double off the rlght field wall for "the cycle" which means
a single, double, triple and homer in four AB's,

Punishment That
Was Really Brutal
Within living memory flogging
was being inflicted daily on
soldiers and sailors after drum-
head courts martial (during mi-
litary operations) had issued
their dread commands. Senten-
ces of up to 1,500 lashes could
be imposed on soldiers; while
sailors might be liable to the
punishment known as. "flogging
round the Fleet." '
For this the sailor delinquent
was put into a launch, stripped
to the waist and tied up with
his arms extended upon a frame
•f wood, while the master-at-
srms stood beside him with a
drawn sword, counting the lash -
ea as they were inflicted.
A drummer and a fifer stood
in the bow; and a whole flotilla
of boats then fell into line, tow-
ing the launch containing the
culprit. The ilfer struck up the
"Rogue's March," accompanied
by muffled drumming, and this
weird and horrible procession `
then approached each ship of
the line manned for all hands
to watch.
Even worse was the punish-
ment known as "keel -hauling,"
"The sailor was ordered to strip
•oft his clothes except for a strlp
of cloth round his loins," writes
Scott Claver in his book "Under
the Lash". "He was suspended
by blocks and pulleys, and these "
were fastened to the opposite
extremes of the main yard, and
• weight was hung upon his legs
to sink him to a competent
depth.
"By this apparatus he was
drawn close up to the yard -arm,
and then let fall suddenly into
the sea; where, passing under
the ship's bottom, he was hoist-
ed up on the opposlte side of the
ship, And this, alter sufflclent
Intervals for breathing, was re-
peated two or three times,
"If the unlucky sailor was
drawn too near the ship's bot-
tom,' his flesh was torn and
scratched by barnacles, Un-
cleanliness and scandalous action
were among the crimes for
which keel -hauling was the
punishment"
No one ever had more abso-
lute authority than the . captain
of a Navy ship in the eighteenth
century, the authorpoints out.
Except perhaps the Duke of
Wellington during .the Peninsu-
lar War, Then the amount of
lashes that could be given to a
soldier for loot or plunder was
from twenty-five to twelve hun-
dred strokes. But "everyday af-
fairs" were 700 lashes for the
crime of selling Army goods.
"Wellington was the disciplin-
arian par excellence, but had he
been even a jot less strict and
demanding than he was, it is
very unlikely that he and the
armies u n d e r his command
could, have achieved the out-
standing successes they did,"
Bays Mr, Claver--but about this,
I wonder.
Before a royal commission the
Iron Duke culled his soldiers,
"the scurn of the earth. I have
no idea of any great effect be-
ing produced on British soldiers
by anything but the fear of im-
mediate corporal punishment."
It Is hard to believe that there
was no personal touch at all be -

fashioned jar -type jelly, to judge from Richard's face,
tween officers and men in those
days, for the troops remained
steady in battle often against
overwhelming odds, and won
great victories.
Another story concerns Pri-
vate Keenon, of the •25th Light
Dragoons, who was found guilty
of loading his pistol with a ball
cartridge, and saying to his
sergeant: "I intend this for you,"
The pistol went off while the
sergeant was trying to wrest it
from the man, It did no damage,
sO tlie charge was: "For wasting
ammunition delivered out to
him," In addition to a thousknd
lashes, Keenon was drummed
out of His Majesty's Service.
To brand deserters with a D
was the custom in both services,
and this was accomplished by
tying the man to a post in the
barrack square with the regi-
ment on parade and looking on.
The drum major took a bundle

Now He Can Play
Because he could not grow
normally, a 15 -year-old Scots
lad decided to shorten his
height!
Fraser Nisbet, of St. Abbs,
Berwickshire, caught polio as a
baby, and as he grew .older his
bad leg was not glowing as
quickly as the other. He could
not romp and play with. other
boys,
At the back 01 his mind was
t ;a !ought that he would never
be able to join in the fun.
At 15 he was operated on.
When he came out of hospital
his left leg had been straigtened.
But 'it was now two inches
shorter than his right leg.
Then came a remarkable de-
cision for a boy of 15. Fraser
was determined he would not
go through life with the
handicap 01 a limp. He could
not get his short leg length-
ened. Then why not get the
other leg shortened?
• So Fraser went to hospital
for another operation to have
his good leg shortened. When
he came out, " both his legs
were the same size!

Watch Out For
Oil Scouts
The district scouts report daily
and weekly to the scouting of-
fice and they, in return, receive
information that can be used lo-
cally, Their First responsibility,
however, is to keep the district
exploration manager informed on
what individual competitors and
the industry as a whole are doing.
Versatile, fast-moving a n d
knowledgeable, the field scout
gets to know his district like the
back of his hand.
"Rather than have an individ-
ual concentrate on any one phase
of scouting," says Huffman, "we
prefer to have each of the field
'scouts trained in all espects of
scouting." That means seismic,
deep -hole and land scouting. To
his knowledge and techniques he
has to add personality and ingen-
uity if he's to bring back the
needed information,
One story scouts like to talk
about concerns a young scout's
canny knack of making friends
to get results. He found a rig
surrounded by a barbed wire
fence with a small bridge over
a creek as the only entrance.
This was guarded and the scout
could get nowhere. But he struck
upa friendship with a crew mem-
ber one evening and was told to
come back to the rig in the niorn-
fng. When he found the bridge
still guarded he was about to
leave when his new-found friend
WOWI—And there it is -52
feet of Marilyn Monroe. Even
though it's just a sign, men still
gather to stare. It's erected on
the front of a New York City
theater in Times Square, where
"The Severs Year Itch", is being
remiored. The huge figure
shows Marilyn in the skirt-
blowing scene from the movie.
s,.
ANY VOLUNTEERS? — "Sgt. Orvie" shows how he stops a fleeing "suspect" at police dog
training kennels. The dogs learn to be vicious or gentle on command, can disarm a criminal
suspect, jump into.a car and hold the occupants, and even go into a burning building without
flinching. They are trained with the aid of four teen -aged boys who are well padded for the
job. like Ray Swett, above. Swett knows how it feels to have a dog's sharp teeth bite into
his flesh. That's why finding live "robbers" for dogs to chew on is the hardest part in training
dogs for police work, according to trainer Charles Art, who operates the kennels,
spotted him. The friend yelled,
"Get out of here!" and started
heaving rocks at him, much to
the amusement of eaghtuandrd
the amusement of the guard and
drilling crew. What they, didn't
know was that the rocks were
somples of core from the hole
and these were just what the
young scout wanted.
In seismic scouting, the scout's
personal dictum is "Follow that
crew!" He gets to know what
company and what crew is do-
ing the seismic "shooting" by
noting the small colored flags
put up along the roadside to
mark shot holes. He may follow
the operations of nine or 10 com-
panies at a time, plotting, on a
township grid -map the spacing
of the shots. Often a farmer tells
him where the bright little rib-
bons are. When the widely -
spaced shot holes et "reconnais-
sance" shooting give way to
closely -spaced "detailed" shoot-
ing, the scouting gets keener; he
records the note depth, powder
used, opearting and contracting
firms and other facts to get as
clear a picture as possible.
Most important, the seismic
scout gets to know whether the
crew he's follwing has mapped
ut any anmalies -- undergrund
frmatins where it may be trap-
ped,' "We often know of an
anomaly six months before the
bits' are in," =ays Huffman.
With some 80 seismic crews
working In the area south of Ed-
monton alone, it's a big job for
a few scouts, They often fly
over the district to pin -point
operations, then follow up by
car on country roads and finally
on foot,
When the scout turns his at-
tention to "deep -hole" drilling
he's expected to bring back in-
formation; on exactly where the
rival wildcat rig Is drilling, its
elevation above sea -level, depth
of the hole with geology at that
depth and results • of drill stem
tests. He often gets the depth by
standing on a nearby hillside or
climbing a tree and counting the
drill stem pipes as theyre hoisted
up, in the derrick. (Drill pipes
are 30 feet long and as the hole
gets deeper more lengths are
added; these must he unscrewed
and "racked up" In the derrick
every time the drill_ bit is
changed).
Some companies drill wells
without having large land hold-
ings in the immediate area; they
wait until a successful test has

. driver Roger Cline, unhurt, surveys the plight of his eight-
week -old vehicle,
been run and the well looks like
a producer before they lease ad-
ditional land. The alert scout
who gets test results and reports
back to the land department
quickly, may beat others to the
punch in leasing adjoining acre-
age.
In Saskatchewan, small local-
ized land plays , usually follow
each discovery and .a fast, ex-
perienced scout there can get im-
portant results by clinching in-
formation at the deep -hole stage.
The third type of scouting in
western Canada centres around
land and leases, The land scout
is a goodwill ambassador who
maintains personalcontact with
farmers and ranchers. He gets
information o n competitors'
leases and small land plays that
may precede drilling or form
part of a general .seismic activity.
Here the genial personality of
the scout comes to. the fore as
he usually succeeds in getting
the frmer to show him competi-
tor's lege which includes expiry
dte, bonus sums, renewl options
and various committments and
acreage prices. In return the
scout can help the farmer by ex-
plaining certain clauses in the
lease for him.
While 'the field scouts are the
dramatic figures of a company's
intelligence service, the job of
scouting is by no means ended
when seismic, deep -hole and land
reports arrive in the scouting
department office. At this point
the material is,still in a fairly
raw state. The tsk of organizing
it. at Imperial falls to division
scout Jack Huffman, his assist-
ant Wes Hewitt, office scouts Joe
Pitzel and 13111 Allen, and a staff
of 20 working in three sections;
current activity, statistical and
coding,
The current activity staffers
gather up the eld reports, add
material they originate them-
selves and process it for the sta-
tistical section, Here it is sorted
and summarized in reports for
other • departments to pick out
new trends, policy changes by
competitors or by the industry
as a whqle. The reports include
the latest information on land-
holdings, survey parties or crews
available, drilling activity is
analyzed as to types of wells
completed, numbers of rigs work-
ing or ready to rill, discoveries,
reserves and other material,
What finally emerges from the
huge jumble of fact, rumor and
gossip gathered in the far cor-
ners of the western oil territory
is a picture of the activity of all
companies, by province, by dis-
tricts and even by, areas within
districts. "This is very useful,
and, in fact, almost essential to
management when the time
comes to plan the. wheres and
how -much of Imperial's ' pro-
gram," Huffman explains. It
helps Imperial's top men to keep
in focus the rapidly changing
oil picture of western Canada,
where competition fen new fields
is keen — even fierce.
As the pace of drilling stepped
up in the post-war years and
new wells came iu rapidly, the
information flowing in to the
statistical department bulked to
staggering proportions. "It grew
like a dionsaur in the office," one
scout said. They got control of
the brute two years ago by the
use of business -machine tech-
nology.

Musical Abuse
Recently published iii New
York is a two -volume "scientif-
ic" work devoted entirely to the
varying forms of abuse which
music critics have heaped on
the heads of famous composers.
The collection of invective has
been edited by NIcholas Sloni-
minski; a composer and music
critic of Russian origin, now
living in the U.S.A.
Thus we find, for instance,
that Beethoven was in his day
called; "a breeder of disson-
ances," "slave of depravity,"
"muddle - head," "tear - dripping
hyena," "weeping chimpanzee,"
and other uncomplimentary
things,
The composer Ravel has been
called "a cold-blooded reptile,"
while the names that Chopin,
Schumann, Debussy 'and others
have been called ,are also listed
in this curious encyclopedia, .

TABLE' TALKS
cktm
Sandwiches, whether for pic-
nics or lunch boxes, are apt to
become rather tiresome if we
stick to the same old fillings.
So here are some combinations
which you might like to try.
• . •
Pineapple -Shrimp: Two-thirds
cooked, chopped shrimp to one-
third well -drained ' pineapple
bits, with sufficient mayonnaise
or salad dressing to spread.
• *
Frankfurter -Egg: Combine , 1�
cup chopped, cooked frank-
furters, 1 chopped hard -cooked
egg, 1 tablespoon minced onion,
1 tablespoon chili sauce, 1/4 tea-
spoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon prepared
mustard, and 1/s teaspoon pep-
per. Makes % cup of filling.
• • •
Cream Cheese -Fruit; Combine
1 three -ounce package cream
cheese, 3 finely cut, pitted,' dried
prunes, Vs teaspoon cinnamon,
1,4 teaspoon sugar, and 1 table-
spoon finely chopped nuts, Add
sufficient top milk or thin cream
for spreading consistency. Makes
about 1 cup of filling.
* • •
Peanut -Apple Butter; Com-
bine 14 cup peanut butter, 1/4
cup apple butter, 1,5 cup grated
cheddar cheese and 1,►2 teaspoon

THEY STARTED SINGING FOR "PEANUTS"
By Dick Kleiner,
NEA Staff Correspondent
Before a male singing star or
chanter starts clicking there is
generally a long period of gloom.
It is tough for a youth to crack
through, beat off the competi-
tion, .impress the public, make
a name and money. It usually
takes years of working for pea-
nuts and often eating peanuts,
too.
GUY MITCHELL: On 'an irregular
$10, who can afford a bed?
Guy Mitchell had a typical
start. He'd come to New York
for fame and fortune but had-
n't found either, He was living
with another young struggler
and they shared a room.
Guy would sing "demos" to
make a buck, (A "demo" is a
demonstration record; songwrit-
ers and publishers make records
of their new works to show rec-
ord companies. The singer gets
$10, usually.) That was his in-
come. He and his roommate slept
on the floor, On an irregular $10
bill who could afford a bed?
"It was a big joke," Guy says
now. "We were young and we
,didn't mind, One day we opened
the icebox and the only thing In=
side was a jar of mustard."
* * •
After he was discovered, his
discoverer, Eddie Joy', paid all of
Guy's back debts. They amount-
ed to $0,300. He's paid that back
by now, He's a star,
Guy's ex -roommate isn't .sleep-
ing ' on the floor these days,
either. He's Tony Acquavlva,
who quit a good career as ar-
ranger and orchestra lender to
become Joni James' personal
manager.
The early days of almost ev-
ery chanter are studded with
experiences of that sort, About
the only exceptions are those
lucky enough to have been born
into fairly well-off families, like
Mery Griffin or those native New
Yorkers who could live at home.
while waiting for {heir break
like Steve Lawrence.
Take a look at some of the
others;
* • •
Eddie Fisher won a prize on a
children's show in 'Philadelphia
when he was 13. The prize was
a cake, Eddie had to give a. 10
per cent"slice" to the friend who
talked him into trying --his first
"manager." Later on, though,
there were times when he didn't
even win a cookie,
Once he was trying to get on
radio. He did 10 auditions for
CBS for various shows within a
few weeks, Not one paid off.
Another time he was singing on
four radio• shows in Philadelphia
for a total income of $18 a week.
Johnnie Ray left his Oregon
home in Jan. 1949, to try and
'crash Hollywood. Re couldn't
even get an audition. at the stu-•
dios, He would make $7,50 oc-
casionally for a night's singing
at a cafe.
He survived by working as a
bellhop, carhop, soda dispenser
and other odd jobs. For a while
he was a night-club pianist work-
ing for tips only,. ' During.. the
entire year of 1949 his income
was $500. He remembers that
mostly he ate coffee and muffins.
Friends who believed in him
took Min in and• tet him sleep
at their place. But after a• -year
of muffins and kindly charity he
grew despondent and went back
to Oregon and took, a job in the
town sawmill. After four months
he was fired and took another
stab at show business. This time.
he connected -although It took
two more years 'of small night-
clubs and theaters before he
clicked.
Even•in the country and west-
ern field, where most of the per-
formers come from farms, 'there
are tales of today's stars . who
had, their lean years,
Eddy Arnol. "the Tennessee
Plowboy," is the king of the
country and western field, But
in Eddy's old days there was a
period when he had to take any
job to eke out •his singing in-
come. And one job he took was
driving a hearse and helping out
around a funeral parlor.
That was when he was singing
at Jackson, Tenn. He was still
playing the guitar he got from
a mail order house—learned to
play it by taking four lessons at
75 cents apiece from an itinerant
teacher, He got his big, break
when he went on tour with a
group called Pee Wee King, and
his Golden West Cowboys. That
led' to a record contract and
radio shows and his present
fame.
EDDY ARNOLD: The "plowboy"
started driving a hearse.
* • ,* •
Scratch the surface of almost
any male star and you'll find
somewhere in his past a dark
period. Fewer of the girl singers
have had such troubles. The rea-
son is obvious --a man has more
competition, less advantages: His
voice is his only saleable com-
modity, No male singer is hired
on looks alone,
And so the chanters have to
scratch and claw while they gain
experience' and friends and
breaks, Those that make it look
back on their lean years with
philosophical humor "sure It
was tough," they'll say, "but
what can. you do?"
Those who don't make it? They
finally quit, go home, take oth-
er jobs,
And right at this minute the
stars of tomorrow are struggling
to get by. It's a tough life but
the rewards are great.

Lor slr'utegle materials needed
by the United States was given
the Secretary of Agriculture by
Congress last year,
, • •
Since then more than 82 mil-
lion dollars worth of surplus
commodities have been export-
ed to 23 countries in exchange
for ilnpor'ts valued at 53 million
dollars—tie difference in value
to be made up by cash deposits
or irrevocable letters of credit.
Large quantities of wheat are
being moved out of storage un-
der these contracts, although the
list also includes corn, flaxseed,
grain sorghums, cottonseed oil,
barley, oats, and cotton.
• • •
Nonstrntegic materials which
are being obtained in this way
include fertllizer and raw ailk.
No information is given out with
respect to the strategic materials
being acquired.
They are coming from coun-
tries such as Belgium, Denmark,
Germany, Greece, the Nether-.
lands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,
Sweden, Turkey, Yugoslavia,
England, Ireland, Scotland, Cy-
prus, Egypt, Israel, India, For-
mosa, Japan, Korea, Columbia,
and Peru, '
• • •
These represent somo of the
deals under which the govern-
ment is striving to unload its
ever -mounting farm surpluses,
• • •
Another is through sale of
wheat under the International
Wheat Agreement, These sales
are made at less than the price -
support level, the government
making up the dlfference "in
. subsidy payment to the Commo-
dity Credit Corporation which
Is the agency handling these
surpluses.
Such sales will involve subsi-
dies of at least 175 million dol-
lars for the current .crop year.
Thus, while the United States is
pushing wheat -disposal . pro-
grams to the hilt, it is often
forced to clo so at a loss.
• • •
Surplus wheat also has been
shipped abroad for famine re-
lief under the auspices of the
Foreign Operations Administra-
tion, This avenue of disposal is
now closed, with the imminent
termination of that organization.
• • • •
Although wheat exports have
been boosted somewhat during
tho current crop year, there are
limits to what the world mar-
ket will take even at the lower
wheat -agreement price, or un-
der the new program which per-
mits sales abroad for foreign
• currencies,
• • •
As for selling government
wheat at home, legal restrictions
prohibit its sale in the domestic
market at less than 105 per cent
of parity, plus carrying charges,
This means that any wheat the
government puts on ,the market
would be considerably higher
than that sold by .farmers.
The way appears' now • that
the government's wheat stocks
in 1955 will reach the all-time
record of nearly one. billion
bushels.

Giant Pandas
Rare and Hungry
The first man ever to set .
eyes on a giant panda was a
French missionary in Tibet; he''
was also a naturalist. He saw
the animal In 1868, No white
manever saw one again until
exactly sixty years later, when
Mr. • Kermit Rossevelt and his
brother Theodore , Roosevelt,
sons of the famous "Teddy"
Roosevelt, shot a male, panda.
In 1936 there came to, light
the romantic story of the cap-
ture of a giant panda by an
American woman, Mrs, Will H.
Harkness,' Jr, -Ier husband
spent years in China looking for
giant pandas, but without suc-
cess. His widow, with very little
money, set out for China with
a Chinese interpreter. She cap-
tured the first live giant panda
ever. She and the interpreter
wore only a minimum of cloth-
ing •when they arrived in
Shanghai with their prize. All
their sweaters, fur coats and
blankets had been given up to
the delicate giant panda, named
Su -Lin. To get 'the shy animal
to take food from a baby's bottle,
the Chinese wrapped himself in
a fur coat and pretended to be
the cub's mother!
Su -Lin was sent to the Chi-
cago Zoo, where he lived only
nine months,
In December, 1938, the first
giant pandas ever to reach
Europe arrived • at Tilbury
Docks, There were five in all,
captured by an American ex-
plorer on the Chinese -Tibetan
border. Three were sent to
New York Zoo, The London Zoo
bought the other two and paid
• $5000. each for them. In order
to get • Thes glant pandas out .of
China—where they are rigorous-
ly "protected" — the owner had
them dyed so that they looked
like brown bears.
On ,their way to London the
giant pandas ate ' bread made
from rolled oats and flour ,and
they drank milk.
It is untrue that unless a giant
panda is fed on bamboo shoots
it will dle. But it Is true that
in their natural habitat they eat
30 lb, of banlboo tips daily.
They are very fond of them,
The London Zoo consulted the
New . York . Zoo as to how the
giant pandas should be fed. The
diet was most elaborate and in-
cluded milk, eggs, honey, fish -
liver otl, green corn stalks,`w11-
low sprigs, celery, lettuce, man -
gel tops and baked potatoes,
• • The Zoo's giant pandas were
named Tang, the male, and
Sung, the female, The London
Zoo did not follow the Americ-
an diet chart closely. We do not
know' whether that made any
difference, but Tang and Sung
are dead, whereas•the giant pan=
das in New York ire still alive.
Although the Zoo paid $10,000
for the giant pandas, the ptiblie
never stiw them. They were
placed in the sanatorium, where
they stayed until they died.
In 1938, Ming, a baby giant
panda, arrived. She . cost the
Zoo $4,000, but in March, 1939,
it was announced that Ming had
already "paid back $1,500 of the
purchase price," She attracted
thousands more visitors than
normally. In 1939 the Zoo ac-
quired another giant panda
named Grumpy. Like Tang and
Sung, Grumpy was never put
• on 'show. I doubt whether the
public ever knew of the exist-
• ence of those three giant pan-
das,
After being on show for some
months, the authorities gave
• Ming a rest, but telephone calls
piled up on an average of 100
a day, so Ming had .to be put
on view again. She had Rex, an
Alsatian dog, as a playmate, and
also a woolly replica of herself.
People said to •one another:
!,Isn't she sweet? Pandas must
be so tame!" But they aren't.
One reason why the public never
saw Tang, Sung or Grumpy was
because they were dangerous as
well as delicate,
At Eastertide, 1939, when
Ming was put 011 show in the
Lion House, her postcards earn-
ed $500. That Easter, despite ris-
Ing war tension, people paid
$20,000 to seo her. A flim com-
pany engaged the servlces of
Ming fqr two hours a day, and
paid the Zoo $250 a day,
By June, 1939, Ming had
grown all her teeth. Then she
bit a boy visitor, and her girl
attendants were told to wear
thick leather gloves,
Ming died' on -Boxing Day,
1940. Although . Britain was at
war, the Zoo tried very hard to
find a successor to her. After
long and delicate negotiations
wlth the Chinese Embassy in
London, permission was granted.
Although the Province of Szech-
wan of China, was invaded by
the Japs, and despite the fam-
ine, an army of 200 profession-
al hunters set out to search for
a giant panda After a hunt that
lasted two lnonths� orae was
finally "treed."
She was named Lien -Ho, and
was flown to London. She was
only eighteen months old when
she arrived in 1946. Bamboo
shoots were brought from Chlna,
and the Zoo procured others
from Wales, Cornwall and the
Scilly Isles. Lien -Ho was said to
have cost the Zoo $5,000, She
died of pneumonia in February,
1950. Then, after an inquest,
Lien -Ho was found to be a male
and not, as had been believed, a
female,

Psalm 143:10,
Hezeklah's good reign was fol-
lowed by tho longest and most
wicked reign in the history of
Judah — the 55 -year relgn of
Manasseh. He even b u i l t
heathen altars in the temple. He
"shed innocent blood very
much." He seduced the people to
do evil,
The Bible does not state 11
intoxicating liquors were used
to aid this seduction or not. We
do not know that modern se-
duction to evils of various kinds
often begins when one's concep-
tion of .good and evil have been
dimmed through the effects of
alcohol on the brain, This is es-
pecially true of immortality
which was an important part
of the Baal worship which
Mannessah set up. Many a girt

is so much muddling, When wilt
we awaken to this monstrous

Because of Manasseh's sin God
sent upon him the king of As-
syria. Manasseh was beaten,

Flying Saucers ARE Real, Run On Baby Power
By RALPII MONCRIEF
NEA Staff Correspondent
Flying saucers 'hold no terror
for 51 -year-old Roy P. Friddell,
He manufactures them.
Friddell, father of 10, has no
Intention of taking off for some
planet in outer space in one of
his "saucers" — it is the only
item ever offered parents for
the muscular development of
their pre -walking infants, and
Is manufactured for tho pleas-
ure of the small fry set.
Eleven years ago Friddell, a
former vaudevllte magician-
cornedian, was 'watching his
new son, Roy David, do push'
ups on the living room floor.
The idea came to flim . that he
could somehow. harness the
"baby power" that was being
expended and bring i+ under
control.
With a far away look in his
brown eyes, Friddell went to his
work shop and constructed an
"airplane . wing" with casters.
The youngster took to the wing
with such enthusiasm that it
lasted all of three days,
• • M
Next Friddell fashioned a,
wing ,with a cockpit and lined
the frogt of it with a •soft cus-
hion on which the baby could
be placed vyith its feet barely'
touching the floor. Ile added an
ad!ustable to any size baby,
"It was a wonderful ma-
chit,e," Friddell recalls, "but
unsafe, Those casters in the
landing gear weren't the an-
swer."
After Roy David passed the
"saucer" stage, Frlddell set the
machine aside, but it was never
very far from his thoughts. By
the time his tenth child, Roland,
came along, he got the idea that
ball -bearings !night be the so-
lation,
Today he has a "landing gear"
'foot -proof and safe. It is next to
impossible for a baby tc fall out
of the "saucer," If the "saucer"
does start tipping, the direction-
al ball -bearings are so designed
that they roll toward the weight
shift, pick up the "saucer" and
set it back in its norlr,al posi-
tion. It operates as well on cnr-
pets as it does on wood or til.
ROLAND FRIODELL AND SAUCER: Pop got junior oft the floor.
flours:
"The origln of the 'saucer'
dldn't have a commercial aim,"
Friddell,, explains, "1 'built it in
an attempt to aid one of my
children in his mental and phy
sicnl development. It succeeded
• far beyond anything I ever ex-
pected. I'm only sorry it sat in
a t orner while two of my chil-
dren were .born and grew past
the 'saucer' stage. Roy David
and Roland were my 'test pilots:
and I'tn ashamed to say ,1 can
see a difference in their lives
from the rest of my children,
"The 'flying saucer' puts baby
strictly on his own. Placed in
the 'cockpit' on his stomach he
30018 discovers, quite accidental-
ly that a foot movement will
send the 'saucer' glidtng across
t11e floor.
"Mother no longer has to
worry about junior," Friddell
says. He is up off the floor
where he stays clean, he cannot
fall . and • hurt himself, and
everything he docs, he learns,
is being done by himself. He
soon becomes such a proficient
'saucer pilot' that he can glide
• anywhere in the house without
buinping into walls and furni•
ture. But best_ of all, the motor
development, that , is the coord-
ination of the muscles, is being
developed by the baby himself.
The sense of freedom he has
gives him an incentive to ex-
ercise and he happily takes ad-
vantage of it"
The age range of a 'saucer pi-
