According to Township Reeve Orval E. Taylor, the matter has been 'present- ed to the ILu'on County I-fealth with - attics but so far on Saturday he hail no communication of action by the Health officials, whorl he was intend- ing to contact in an effort to ascertain what action they were laking. The pollution is believed to eminate from some source, or sources, in the village of Blyth where undesirable matter is being dumped into the creek bed: The stream is particularly low at this season of the year and any a- mount of foreign molter, no matter how small, would have a detrimental effect on the water. License. Granted, Work On Wingham TV Station Starts. After a ,lenghy waiting period, the advent of television broadcast eminat- ing from CKNX Wingham in the near future, has become a reality. The of- ficial letter of approval from G, C. W, Browne, Controller of 'Telecommunica- tions of the Department or Transport, advised CKNX that approval had been granted by the Federal Cabinet, and that construction work could now, be begun. A staggering amount of work has to be done before actual programming can get underway. Included on the imme- # dint° work agenda is the construction of a 650 foot tower In the south cor- ner of .Carrick Township, for which the surveying has already been com- pleted, The old Wingliain.High School, has already underone quite a Thee lifting, with the completion of the con- struction work on the portion of the building to be .used as Control Room— and construction crews hard at wort laying the ground work for the Studio addition to the present building, The necessary equipment is expect- ed to arrive around the second week in August, at which time CKNX and RCA Englneers'°will go right to work installing and checking the equipment, Viewers in the coverage area of CKNX may expect programmes de- signed :o the local -taste, as well as top CBC and American network shows, The actual "on•air" hours will be from four in the afternoon until the conclusion of the late night movie feature at approximately 1 tan„ seven days n week. The actual "on air" date is difficult to prophesy because of the many in-- tangibilitics that can crop up in the installation of the complex electronic equipment; but wtih v reasonable a- mount of good luck, operations are forecast for around the middle of No- vember. And so with work going at full speed, Western Ontario residents may rest,assured that Local Television will 'become a reality this year.

Montgomery) Rain is still badly needed, because of the hot, dry weather the harvesting of spring grains is two or three weeks earlier, Practically all of the wheat Is now cut in the County with much of it being threshed or combined, Many farmers in the south end of the Coun- ty have completed the cutting of oats, barley and mixed grain, Wheat and barley are being delivered to the ele- vators and moisture content of wheat has been as low as 11,7 percent with none as yet above 13 percent moisture. The biggest Pea Pack in the history of the County, which started June 17th has completed on Juy 15111. Growers harvested on the average of one and one-half tons of peas •per acre and in some cases the yield was up to three tons per acre. Haying is now almost completed but to date.iftertnath growth has been very poor, Corn has made excellent growth during the warm, dry spell, Legionairres Compile Enviable. \Vinning Streak Winning has become quite a habit with the Blyth Legionairres since they got their "diamond legs" and got rolling on all wheels and "hitting" on all nine cylinders. Following a very nixed -up schedule tin which games have been postponed for various reasons, and interest drop- ped to a very low ebb, the team sprang into action the first of last week with games on three successive nights. Monday night of last week they played and defeated Belmoro, on Tues- day night, as a 12th of July feature, they played an exhibition game with Londesboro, coming through to win by an eyelash, and last Wednesday even- ing, again on the Blyth diamond,..fans witnessed one of the best games of the season with Stone School as the op- position. Stone School led 6 to 5 going into the last half of the sixth inning when the Legionairres scored three runs to pull ahead. They added two more in the 'seventh to lead 11 to 0 which looked like sufficient to win. However, In the top of the eighth Stone School got 'back into competition when with two on bases, Procter connected with a home run, They ran out of gas 10 the top of the ninth when they got n man as far as second before the side was retired, - Carman MacDonald, besides pitching a scoady game for the Legionairres, aid. ed his team's cause by -parking a home run in the eighth with a man on base. The Legionairres havd been playing very well both tit bat and in the field. MacDonald' pitched, for the Legion- airres and Bob Carter and Eddie Wat- son divided the, catching chores, "Ns. sgr•-•••••••..., OBITUARY MRS, If. B.

Man has always ruled the animal kingdom, but there were moment last Saturday night when man's supremacy was severely challenged by a kngwing bunch of jackasses who came to town to stage a donkey ball game. Pitted with the donkeys against each other were stalwarts from Blyth as op- posed to more stalwarts from Londes- boro and Auburn. The visitors had some real stars in.their line-up includ• Ing Reeve 13111 Jewitt of Hullett and ex -Warden 13111 Dale, also of Hullett. What amazed this reporter was the agility and ability all participants showed in mounting and handling their unpredictable steeds. Jack Arm- strong, also an ex -Warden of the County, was the first man to bat and he got the Londesboro Auburn com- bines. off on the right foot with a mighty smash, followed by a sup- erb drive around the bases for the op- ening roan. He was followed In suc- cession by Bill Dale, Bill Jewitt and Weldon Tyndall making a total of four tuns for the combines, a lead which Blyth never did overcome. The com- bines scored again In the second with Cliff Brown crossing the safety zone, and two more runs in the third by Weldon Tyndall and Ben Riley wound up their•effort. Frank Tyreman opened the scoring for Blyth in the opening inning, and in the second Jack Hesselwood and Jim Taman crossed the plate. In the third Frank Tyreman crossed the plate with his second ruff to wind up the scoring. Hitting the`l all was incidental. Get- ting the donkeys to travel the base+, while the fielders tried to put the run- ner out, created the most fun, into which man and beast -entered with real gusto. One old grey donkey had been taught to buck, and the first base runner to fall prey to his pranks was Walter Buttell. The second was (who else) but Bert Gray who went off the beasts' back to the accompanying howls of at least one hundred school kids, The largest crowd seen In the park. for n long time was present for the event 'which was =sponsored'- 'by - the Blyth Lions Club. A draw for a blanket was held with 1110 winner being Mr. Frank Marshall of Guelph. Players were—Blyth: George Bailie, Bill Ennpoy, Frank Tyreman, Walter Buttell, Paul Watson, John Hesselwood, Gar Doherty, Jim Taman and Bert Gray.

Local Rutabaga Firm Developing Industry In Michigan 500 4-I1 Members Make Toronto Tour A ten -car special train ' from this County carried 500 4 H club members to Toronto on Tuesday where they en- joyed a full day's tour of points of interest planned for then in advance. At noon the packing plants enter- tained the group to lunch. Visits were made during the afternoon to the Par- liament Buildings and n ride enjoyed on the subway, The group also visited the Canadian National Exhibition grounds and at 6;15 p.m, enjoyed a doubleheader baseball game at Maple Leaf Stadium between Toronto and Havana. The special train left Toron- to at 10:30 pan, for the return trip to Clinton. Directors of the tour were G. W. Montgomery, Agricultural Represen- tative for Huron, and his assistant, Harold Baker, Several from the•Blyth arca took ad- vantage of the tour, Why Not Attend The Ball Gaines Too! Speaking of the large turnout at the Donkey Baseball Gane on Saturday Night, Mr, Bill Thompson a rabid sup- porter of our Legionairres offers this suggestion: "If so many people can 10111 out to see a bunch of jackasses, why can't a few more turn out to support n good boll team like the Legionairres," He numy have a point too, because at- tendances at this year's games have not been too large. Miss Pearl Gidley, Mrs. Edythe Stur- geon; and Mr. Richard Gidley t Van- couver, B.C., visited ot Exeter last Thursday, It being the latter's home 'town. Mr. Russell Gidley of Toronto called on his sisters on Saturday, ' The Standard learns with interest ot a project being developed by one of our local firms, Blyth Brand Rutabagas, owned by Mr. Russell Dougherty, who for the past few years has been one of the largest exporters of Rutabagas to Ontario, Mr. Dougherty was in Michigan on Monday, and on Tuesday dropped in at The Standard office with a sample of a Michigan - grown rutabaga which to all outward appearances compared favourably with those grown in this district, which is considered the best location for growing rutabagas in On- tario, In the State of Michigan Mr. Dough- erty has contracted with Michigan far- mers for 200 acres of rutabagas. He did this against the advise of the Mich- igan State College who held that the climate was too hot and not suitable for the growth of the rutabaga. Mr. Dougherty has a habit of tackling the impossible and the sample of the Mich- igan grown rutabaga seems to bear out his theory that they can be grown suc- cessfully, south of the border. If the project does prove successful it offers Mr. Dougherty great advantages in reaching the American market, The vegetable, as indicated, develops much earlier than here, being now ready for the early market and higher prices. Some of the Michigan grown rutegabas are already four inches in diameter and marketing operations are ready to conunenee. Another advantage is the elimination of hauling and border costs, plus the fact that the product reaches the market quicker and fresh- er. The venture is perhaps only an experiment at the present time, but It would appear that it might prove both successful and lucrative for M. Dougherty. In the Blyth area Mr. Dougherty es- 'tinates that some 7 o 8 hundred acres are being sown, but of course they are only e, or even yet in the planting stages, so upfloat it wall be set+- eral .•cotes befoi e. they can be brbtigt t to the, waxing platin fof trocQS5tti� • LANNf FFIRST� * How many thousands of tine, • upstanding people have had ...their happiness destroyed by • vicious gossip?

Self-employed tailors numbered only 1,375, a decrease of 56% from 3,160 in 1931, indicating a definite trend away from cus- tom-made clothes, Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. What is the proper length of time for a young woman to wear mourning for her father? A. This depends entirely upon her feelings in the matter, The custom of wearing mourning is not so strict as it formerly was, Many people do not consider it necessary at all. Q. When someone whom you have just met says, "I ani glad to have met you," isn't a smile in reply sufficient? A, No; this would have a con- descending air about it. It is much better to accompany the smile with a "thank you." Q. Is it permissible for a din- ner guest to ask for a second helping of some dish? A, Not unless eating with rela- tives or good friends. The hos- tess should see that her guests' wishes are fulfilled without the necessity of their asking, Q. When writing a note to -de- cline an invitation, should one make it formal? A. This depends upon the na- ture of the invitation. If it is written formally, that is, in the third person, then your, reply must be written in the formal style. If the invitation is writ- ten informally, then you reply in the same vein. Q. Is It all right for a wnman to place her purse and gloves on the restaurant table while she Is eating? , A, No; she should keep them in her lap. Or she may place them on a vacant chair if she feels sure they are safe and that she won't forget them. Q.

A small courtesy such as this is often remembered the next time the salesman calls. H RO !CBEs 'may (�arn.�,�init„n (1 (In'rltc And now it's England. Last Friday we came by train from Edinburgh to London, It was a most interesting sight-seeing journey and we all enjoyed it. We got into Euston station about ten p.m. , and then I knew we were back in London, The same old mad scramble for lug- gage! One porter would say it was in the car ahead, another in the car behind, Eventually it was untangled and we were on our way. One bus took passen- gers; the other the luggage, Most of us climbed to the top of the double-decker bus and had our first thrill driving through the lighted' London streets — for so many years completely dark. We were taken straight to our rooms at the Stratford Court Hotel, Apparently this hotel is fairly new and no one seems to know where it is — not even the bus -driver. So now when I get myself lost -- which I do quite frequently — I ask for Marshall and Snelgrove's, a big store which is next to it — a sort of Eaton's College Street type. Saturday we went on a mo- tor -coach tour of the city — or rather part of it, We followed the route taken by the Coronaion procession so we drove through Hyde Park, past St, Jatnes Palace, Buckingham Palace and Marlborough House. We were too late to see the Changing of the Guard but we did see Guards riding by on their beautiful black horses, perfectly in step. As we passed various well-. known places the thought came to me — how much we learn from educational films. The places seemed so familiar, not on account of my having seen them before but because of the number of times I had seen them on the screen — small wonder, really, as I saw the Coronation picture three times. Sunday morning about nine o'clock we assembled • for a WHERE'S GEORGIA'S PEACHES?—Prices aren't so peachy at Georgia's peach stands this year. Discovering this is Mrs. J. Howard Crane of Atlanta. And the 25 - cents - each price tag isn't all that surprises her. The fruit, usually plentiful' in Georgia, are imports from California, The "peach state” has no peaches of its own this year because the late frost killed them this spring. motor tour to Oxford which had been arranged for us by the British 'Travel Association with one of their staff to accompany us, We went by way of Ux- bridge, Miadenhend and Wal- lingford. We stopped briefly at a lovely hotel — Spindle's Hotel — at Maidenhead. The terrace where we had coffee overlooked the River Thames complete with pleasure boats, canoes and punts, Best of al there were a number of graceful swans. A waiter at the hotel provided us with stale bread. A number of the girls in their enthusiasm got on to a floating dock to feed the swans. A boatman came hurrying along warning them to get off , , their combined weight was sink- ing the dock! By the time we got to Oxford it was raining but for awhile that didn't worry us at all as we were given a five -course luncheon at the Randolph Hotel — still as the guests of the Bri- tish Travel Association. I didn't - hear anyone complain about the English cooking! Thus fortified we were ready to walk to the cloisters and a few of the colleges. We visited Magdalen College, Christ Church and one other, the name of which I have forgotten. Al- though I had seen all these colleges before I was just as over -awed as other members of the party by the ancient build- ings that had been the seat of learning for so many of our fa- mous British men and women— including Canadian—for five or six centuries. Naturally we only skimmed the surface as we had to board our bus again by four o'clock. The driver returned to London by a different route, coming through High Wycombe and Beaconsfield — a road l re- membered so well. 13y special request the driver went off course a bit so as to take us , through Stoke Pages. Here we all left the bus to wander through the churchyard and up to the little village church, where the famous Gray's Elegy was written. We couldn't have arrived at a better time. The church bell was calling the vil- lagers to worship and I think many of us would have given a lot could we have stayed for that service. The setting was historic rural England at ha best old, old tombstones, graves well cared for, sweet - scented roses trees — not bush- es - in full; bloom, Natural shrubs and a hedge of English holly on either side of the gravel path from the Church to the road. But alas, we had to con- tinue our homeward way — through many well-known sub- urbs, including Acton. Monday afternoon, by invita- tion, our group visited the House of Commons. The initial stags took a little while as we had t0 pass from one lobby to anothsT each with 1 or 2 policemen Oa guard. Evidently the' "bobble were out 'to enjoy ' themselves too as they insisted on calling t s Americans, but winking across at 'each other as they did it. One of them said — "We tried it on a group back there and they didn't 'alf bristle!" Only a limited number of the group were allowed to peak into the house, and the only for a few minutes, but we were all invited to afternoon tea on the Terrace overlooking the Thames. Here we were greeted by a few mem- bers of Parliament, including Beverly Baxter, Prom the House of Commons we proceeded to Canada House, to a Reception given by the High Commisioner.

' That year a girl joined the most famous drivers in Europe to compete in this gruelling and dangerous automobile face. To the surprise of all, she finished the race, while other far more famous male daredevils failed. Her daring feat created a sen- sation! The world was even more astonished when it learned that this daring girl automobile rac- ing driver was the most remark- able versatile woman athlete in all Europe, She was an expert horsewoman, a champion swim- mer, a fine sprinter, winner of three Sandinavian tennis titles, end holder of eighteen skiing championships. Nor is that all, For in titne this girl became world-famous. She became the first girl athlete in history to earn a million dol- lars. Now, for the past twenty years, she had remained' one of the most amazing sport celebri- ties in the world. As the greatest figure -skating champion in his- tory, this girl has earned a for- tune of several millions of dol- lars. You know her as the fabu- lous and glamorous star of ice and screen—Sonja Henle. * * * Safer in Action ' Football has its laughs as well as its bruises, its chuckles as well as Its sprains. There's the story of Bob Harrington, who who played at tackle for Detroit University, Bob came up to the final game of his senior year at Detroit after having played four seasons in high school, one as a freshman, and three on the fir QUEEN'S' CATCH — A tasty snook is proudly displayed by' angler Lynn Ann Elliott, queen of the Miami Beach summer fishing tournament. Thirty-one varieties of fish are recognized In the July 4th through Labor Day contest, varsity eleven without ever hav- ing been injured. Not once through eight years of football had he suffered even a scratch. On this, his last day of foot- ball, Harrington was playing against a rough and bruising Villanova team, In the last quar- ter, head coach Gus Darais of Detroit, after having watched Bob playing his heart out, de- cided to take hint out of• the game for a few minutes to give him a well-deserved rest, Bob, unmarked as, usual, carne off the field and flopped on the bench near the coach. On the very next play, there was a wild mix-up at the side -lines on a punt return. One of Harring- ton's teammates was flung into the Detroit bench right where Bob sat. When the tangle was unscrambled, Harrington was stretched out on the bottom, cold and still. He had been kicked in the face, two teeth were knocked out, and gashes torn in his lip and chin. Revived by cold water, Harrington looked up into the anxious eyes of his coach. "Please, coach," he said through torn lips, "please put me back in the game where it's safe!" * * * Game Athlete Clarence DeMar is the grand old man of the long-distance marathon. In the track world, they call him "The Shuffler." It is a cause for wonder and amazement when this veteran enters another race, but that is the least note - worthy point about his great career. For Clarence DeMar was born with a crooked foot. He took up run- ning as a boy merely as a form of exercising'the foot, A friend who taunted afro, egged him into entering a handicap race. He won, and got the crazy notion that he had the makings of a runner'in him. He went on and won a ten -mile race. Flushed with victory, the boy with the crooked foot resolved to become a great long-distance runner. So he entered the 26 -mile Boston Marathon, a gruelling gallop that tried the hearts of the best long- distance runners in the world. And, without experience or class, and pitted against the best run- ners in the world, Clarence De - Mar startled the sports world by finishing second! In the thirty •years that follow- ed, Clarence DeMar ran in thirty marathons and finished worse than third only once, He won practically every important ma- arthon in the world, and seven times has copped the famous Boston grind. A runner born with a crooked foot proved that he, too, could walk with the gods of sports, even if he had to shuffle to reach the pinnacle of fame! * * * How He Started As a boy, Johnny was doomed to a life of illness. He was a frail weakling, and the doctors who exatnined him sadly shook their heads. One of them sug- gested that Johnny take swim- ming exercises. But there was one drawback to that bit of me- dical advice. Johnny hated the water. He couldn't swim a stroke, and, for that matter, neither could his father or mother, Up to the age of 12, Johnny had never been in a larger body of water than could be contained in a bathtub, However, the doctor Insisted. Johnny, reluctantly, took up swimming at the age of 13. He started paddling in the muddy • BULL BARBER—In a lather over a forthcoming cattle show, 13 - year -old Lee Winkler goes all out in grooming his Jersey bull, Sparklina Baronet, HE PLAYS A SWIMMING GAME—Alfred Huber of Austria looks more like anenthusiastic swimmer than a hard -playing tennis star, These pictures of him in flying action were taken during his match with Great Britain's Geoffrey 1, Ward in the All -England tennis tourney at Wimbledon. Huber's gymnastics, by the way spelled victory for him. liquid of the Des Plaines River. And . he hated it, hated every stroke he tried to take. He want- ed to quit, but they wouldn't let him. Finally he learned to swan. His family moved and Johnny switched his paddling to Lake Michigan. After a while, the sport of swimming begin to ap- peal to him. He happened to see some really good mermen and, to amuse himself, he began to imi- tate their swimming strokes. Eventually, this sick weakling who had to take up swimming in order to save his life became the world's most famous swim- mer. To this very day, whenever the world hears of a new swim- ming sensation, the question, "Is he as good as Johnny?", is the first one asked. They measure them all against the greatest swimmer in the world, the in- comparable Johnny Weissmuller. Twice The Height Of Niagara You can hear the thunder 7 miles away. You can see the towers of spray 25 miles away. It is said to be the greatest river wonder in the world, They call it Mosi-oa-Tunya — the "Smoke That Thunders" — Africa's fabu- lous Victoria Falls. For miles above, the broad Zambesi River heaves green and lazily, A sunbathing crocadile slinks silently into the water at your approach; with a splutter of bubbles a hippopotamus goes down; birds of a hundred colors chatter and call against a sky the bluest of blues; monkeys and baboons scamper complaining into the trees at your footfall. It is tranquil here, Then at the brink of the falls, as though whipped by a huge mixer, the river is suddenly a churning, leaping avalanche of dazzling whiteness which thrusts out and down into •the mile -wide gash across the red dust of Rho- desia at 75,000,000 gallons a min- ute. It spills massively in a wall of never-ending giant columns some 350 feet — twice the height of Niagara — to the chasm's bot- tom. This is no escarpment but a fissure in terrain which is level above and below the falls, The gorge zigzags and widens till sortie 40 miles lower the Zambesi regains its old pace. Hundreds of gallons of water funnel back up the face of the gorge in great banks of spray from the bottom to the brink and then as high again. In April the river level is 50 feet higher than in the hottest and driest month of November and then the spray at times obscures the view from the opposite bank. But when the spray denies this view, it provides an alterna- tive. For the spray that falls again like heavy rain nourishes an Eden in the heart of the dry, parched scrub that stretches for miles. On the bank across from the falls is Africa's most famous rain forest — a rain forest made by spray. With adjoining areas it is like a Disneyland setting come true. Tropical plants spurt in tangled lushness. The under- growth is a fantasy of flowers of every hue and color of the spectrum, reflected, it seems, in the vivid rainbows by day and the exquisite lunar bows at night caused by the spray. Creepers festoon the trees which arch up and over into leafy rooftops on which the spray drums continually. Drip- ping bushes and leaves slap at your legs. The air is heavily scented Everything glistens. There is moisture everywhere and great pools lie in your path, The roar of the falls is constant and you catch glimpses of the thundering water through leafy openings, Everyone wears a raincoat, hat, and boots. Despite this he returns to his hotel drenched to the skin, for in season it "rains" heavily all the time. Such verdancy is peculiarly meaningful in Africa where wa- ter so often means the difference between starvation and abund- ance. A hundred years ago this year Dr, Stanley Livingstone crawled through the spray to the edge and discovered the falls, Today the falls are still virtually free of commercialism and modern intrusion, They are untouched in the bush, with just a luxury hotel a mile away. So natural is it that animals roam freely. A sign as you leave the hotel warns blandly: "All Wild Animals Are Dangerous" On one visit an armed game war- den on the road warned our party to go carefully as a bad- tempered elephant was crashing through the Rain Forest. Half an hour's flight away you can see all the game you would wish for. Sometimes the animals are more at home than the tourists. This was the discovery made by James Chapman, one of the early travelers, when he observed the spoor of elephants, rhinoceros, buffalo, and hippopotamus on the very edge of the gorse. For he wrote: "It makes one's hair stand on end to see the numer- ous indications of their midright rambles on the very edge of eternity, Here they come at the dead, dark midnight hours to drink the spray and wallow in the mire; and on my asking a native how it was they were not afraid, he asked me in return: 'Didn't they grow up together?' How Can I ? .By ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I prevent straw- berries from settling to the bot- tom of the' jar when canning them? A.

When you serve it, every one will ask you for the recipe. LAZY DAIZY CAKE 2 eggs 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup pastry flour 1 teaspoon baking powder teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon butler 34 cup milk Mix this cake with an egg- beater. Beat yokes and whites separately. Add sugar slowly to yokes, and it stiffens, begin to add some of the whites until A11 sugar and whites have been used. Add vanilla and flour, which has been sifted with salt and baking powder. Bring milk and butter to boil- ing point, and add all at once to mixture with egg beater. Bake in a pan about 7 x 10 Inches, lined with buttered brown paper, for 30 minutes at 350° F.

Cut in squares for serving. In many suggested menus you will see "Herb Butter" men- tioned and there have been several requests for instructions As to its making. Well, here's doe • recipe. Herb Butter: Add to r/s cup soft butter, t/s cup finely chop- ped parsley, 1 tablespoon chop- ped chives or green onions, and 1 clove of garlic, crushed. Mix well. * * * Some time ago a reader of The Christian Science Monitor asked for a recipe for old- fashioned sour -cream raisin pie, • MOVIE THREAT — Meet Elsa Martinelli, latest Hollywood im- port from Italy. The former model's backers expect her to reverse the trend away from cool, polite heroines. Here's the result of that in- quiry which I'm happy to pass along. I might warts you, how- ever -- this pie doesn't keep. Except under lock and key, that Is! * * * A recipe for a two -crust our cream raisin pie was requested in the same issue of the Moni- tor; more than 30 answers were received. Except that some recipes called for nuts and spices, and some made the pie without either, they were all somewhat alike. Space prevents the publication of more than one. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves were the spices most often ' used. Sometimes a little vinegar was added to the mixture. "This recipe has been in my family for years," writes Mrs. W. D. Estes, "We think it is very good." SOUR CREAM RAISIN PIE 1 cup sugar I cup sour cream 1/2 cup chopped raisins cup chopped nuts 1 egg, well beaten i, teaspoon each, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt ligteaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspon vinegar Mix well the sugar, cream, and eggs. Add all other ingredi- ents, and bake between 2 crusts. And, to finish up, here are a couple of unusual recipes using honey instead of sugar. IIARD SAUCE 4 cup butter 3/4 cup honey Beat butter until soft. Beat in honey gradually, Mix thor- oughly. This is especially good on gingerbread. HONEY FROSTING 1 cup honey teaspoon salt 2 egg whites, beaten stiff Cook honey until it spins a thread when dropped from the spoon. Add salt to egg whites; beat stiff. Pour honey slowly over egg whites; beat until frosting holds its shapct (easiest to do with an electric mixer). This frosting never gets hard or sugary — it always stays soft. ON THE GRASSHOPPER AND THE CRICKET The poetry of earth' is never dead: When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run From hedge to hedge about the new -mown mead; That is the Grasshopper's — he takes the lead In summer luxury — he has never done With his delights; for when tired out with fun He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed. The poetry of earth is ceasing never: On a lone' winter evening, when the frost Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills The Cricket's song, in warmth increasing ever, And seems to one in drowsi- ness half lost, T h e Grasshopper's aznong some grassy hills. —John Keats (1795-1821) 1WO-IN-ONE—Mike Clyde, 11, displays what he says is a toma- to -potato vine, which he grew in the family garden plot, In his right hand are three small, hard, green tomatoes attached to the end of the stalk. At the opposite end are wo large potatoes. Mike reports finding three such duplex plants. ... Fashion Hints .. .

Between them, bands on bands of desert, dotted with gray sage- brush and chaparral, falling southwestward. Wallowing over its quicksands, ruddy brown, writhing in tumbled eddies, a straggling shallow river rushes down endlessly. A few clumps of sickly willows line either bank. Beyond, blank and empty, but for the interspersing of parched foliage, sun -blackened boulders, and prairie -dog holes, rolls the desert, mile beyond mile on either side, an endless wide space of silence spied upon by the jagged range of blue peaks from which the sun rose this morning, and the Iong line of great tablelands to which he will descend to -night. Now the sun moves •neither to left nor right; he hangs dead overhead and fills all the air with the raging blaze of an Aug- ust noon. The prairie dogs are asleep in their burrows; a rat- tle -snake lies motionless on a stone; even the coyote that loves to go slinking alone through the sagebrush has hidden himself somewhere and sleeps. Up above there is only the unwearied wheeling of an eagle from side to side, turning in end- less wide circles around the sun, The desert below him seems burning: ashen -yellow, red -yel- low, faint blue and rose brown, Not a cloud flake breaks with its shadow the great space of sky and of earth, Only the river glides on ever fretting with its shallow brown waters the dearth. Silence — the silence of noon- day: not a whisper, not even a breath, , , • To the south the great floor opens wider till it seems to crumble away under the blaze of day into fantastic island -mas- ses, miraged peaks hanging in mid-air. To the north it closes up again, range on range of moun- tains staining with faint blue the horizon. Between these two the desert rests, .without a break, without a path, without a `track, Up the crannies of the west- ward canyons are tiny mud - baked houses, standing on crack. ed shelves of yellow stone, These are empty and deserted and their inhabitants are gone. Down to the south, the Span. iard came riding centuries ago, with his pikemen, mules, and musketeers, seeking Eldorado. , Northward, French and Brit- ish traders cease their fighting, exchange beads for furs again. Spaniards, Frenchmen, British, Indians, each have been seeking Eldorado in their own way Yet to this day the desert lies empty, a spot as lonely as when it was created, . roamed over only by the buffalo and antelope. , . Yet the path to Eldorado lies through this very place. — From "Breakers and Granite," by John Gould Fletcher, DAY'S CARE IN MENTAL HOSPITAL COSTS 5270 The cost of a day's care ‘in Canada's mental hospitals ave- raged $2.70 in 1953 and provin- cial averages ranged from a low of $1.89 in Quebec to a high of $9.33 in Newfoundland. Ancient Device Helps The Blind Another abyss has been bridged for the blind, The Asia- tic abacus, dating back to the pre -Christian era, and the prin_ ciple of the slide rule, crusty with honorable age, have been adapted for use by the blind for the first time in history. Julian Calhoun, a native of the "Low Country" of South Carolina, is the inventor of these aids which simplify mathemati- cal work for the seeing and blind, , Fire insurance, and the ad- justment of Its claims, one of the many successful enterprises which Mr. Calhoun has estab- lished in Spartanburg, where he has spent his entire business career, introduced him to the slide rule and its efficiency in short- ening the time necessary to ar- rive at the correct sums for settlements of claims, But he determined to make an easier slide rule, quite an undertaking. for one who has no special en- gineering or mathematical train- ing, The result of his first experi- ment produced a slide rule six feet in length, which required 14 feet of wall space in which to hang and operate it. This was obviously unwieldy so he went back to his kitchen and $10 worth of tools to try something • else. Finally he, evolved the Multivider, a circular slide rule six or twelve inches in diameter, which is in general use today. In 1946, a Japanese soldier using an Asiatic abacus bested an American with a modern cal- culating machine in the solving of several mathematical prob- lems. Mr. Calhoun read one of the many articles written about o the contest, bought himself an abacus, a book of instructions and went to work to familiarize himself with its use, He discov- `ered that the Soroban, an abacus similar to the Asiatic one, was in use in a nutither of prim- ary grade schools. He soon developed an abacus, however, which required ex- actly sixty per cent of the mc,ves to solve an intricate maftemati- cal problem that were necessary in operating the Asiatic type abacus. This device he named a Calculex and immediately saw its value for teaching the blind to add and subtract. 4 Instructions were prepared in Braille and several of the h' tru- ments were placed in the inst.i• tutions for the blind to be used by children In the fourth. fifth, and sixth grades for instruction in addition and subtraction only. They met with immediate suc. cess, so much so that it was difli• cult to get the younger children to give them up for others to use. There is an idea abroad among moral people that they should make their neighbours good. One person I have to make good: myself. But my duty to my neighbour is much more nearly expressed by saying that I have to make him happy—if I may. Robert Louis Stevenson. You Can Grow Orchids In Your Own Homy You, too, can grow an orchid, in fact dozens of orchids, with little more expense than it takes you to grow African violets, Marglobe tomatoes or guppies, , Such is the news from Home- stead, Florida, where Thomas A, Fennell, Sr. devotes a 30 -acre "hammock," or profusely vege- tated bed of fossilized coral, to cultivating orchids of practically any size, shape, color and species. Fennell has, in fact, the biggest outdoor orchid garden in the world, A part of Fennell's busi- ness, to be sure, is selling blooms to florists, who in turn pass them on, for five dollars and upwards each, to bridesmaids, transatlantic voyagers, escorts of young women about to attend junior proms and celebrants of 50 years of matrimony, He also allows visitors, at a dollar a head, to tour the "Orchid Jungle," as he calls his hammock, and almost every day several hundred avail themselves of the opportunity. The revolutionary part of his trade, though, is shipping orchid plants throughout the land for householders with sunny win- dows and elegant tastes to grow for themselves.' Fennell maintains, and his cus- tomers appear to concur heartily, that the orchid, in most of its varieties at least, is an ideal house plant, In its native state it grows in tropical — but no means equa- torial — climates, rooted high in the clefts of trees where it re- ceives a good deal of sun, It Is not a parasite, but feeds on such bits of rotted bark and foliage as are washed down to it, Since it thrives in the uncertain con- ditions of wind, temperature, moisture and food that this airy location provides, the orchid clearly is, as Fennell points out, a tough vegetable, and in almost any home its wild habitat can easily be repreduced with enough accuracy to ensure that it will flour)sh, A Cattleya, or ' ordinary purple corsage orchid plant, which, selling for about nine dollars, is the lowest -priced item in Fennell's line, may in- definitely produce four or five five -dollar plants a year with a small amount of care. The general rule that Fennell invariably enunciates when he is asked about home orchid. growing is: If you are comfort- able in your home, your orchid plants are comfortable t o 0. Breaking this generalization down into the specific kinds of care an orchid needs, Fennell will tell you: 1, About temperature: The or- dinary house temperature of be- tween 55'and 85 degrees is ideal for orchids, but it won't hurt them if occasionally the temper_ ature drops into the '30's, and it certainly won't hurt them if It goes over 85. 2, About sunlight: Or"crtids need just about the amount of sun they will get most of the year in an ordinary sotheast to southwest window — although in midsummer it may be advisable to screen them with gauze cur- tains during the middle of the day, 3. About water: An orchid needs one heavy watering — which means about half a gallon to a five -inch pot, weekly: The water should be tepid, should be applied in the morning, should be run right over the plant, The plant should under no cir- cumstances be watered again un - 111 it has thoroughly dried out. (Feel the pot; if it's root it's still moist) 4. About food: Orchid plants are not potted in earth but In Osmunda fiber, which is the root of a fern which drains well and rots slowly but has practically no food value, With his plants Fennell sends out special solu. blo plant food that should be given to a plant in the propor- tion of a teaspoonful to a gallon of water at each heavy watering, 5. About humidity: The petted plants should be set on a shal- low pan filled with gravel or col- ored aquarium stones and then about two=thirds filled • with water. The water should be be- low the level of the bottom of the pot, The object of this is not to water the plant, which it doesn't do, but to provide hu- midity in the air around it. 6, About repotting: An aver- age plant will probably need re- potting every two or three years. Those, it seems, are all the rules. When the flowers come they will last, if you leave them on the plant, for three weeks or so. If you use them for corsages they obviously will be fresher than anything you could buy in anything you could buy in a a store. And if you have the de- sire or the funds for that sort Of thing you can get collections of plants that will provide you with blooming orchids, of vari- ous 'kinds, all year 'round. A super -fancy collection of six dif- ferent and ,unusual hybrids, for example, runs to almost $130, but you can get seven Cattleya seedlings, which won't bloom for four or five years, for as lit- tle as $11, 79 VOLUMES PER STUDENT There were 179 academic li- braries in Canada at last count and they had 7,387,887 books on their shelves -- about 79 vol- umes per student.

RINCEn :RUPERT 4 TI1FARM FONT 41,40kausseit An average of 7,000 pounds of 3,4 per cent milk per acre has been produced by E. S. Brigham on his farm near St. Alban's, Vermont, largely through scientific pasture man- agement. This compares with the On- tario average of 2,000 pounds per acre and much less in Que- bec. * * u The Brigham farm consists of s=ome 260 acres of crop land and 180 acres of rough pasture. The latter is estimated by Brigham to be equivalent in carrying ca- pacity to about 60 acres of crop land. His herd consists of 125 milking Jerseys and an equal number of young cattle. * * * During a recent visit to the farm by representatives of the C -I -L farm advisory service, it was learned that to maintain the high rate, of milk production, Brigham uses a three -crop rota- tion of corn; oats (as a cover crop) and hay. Grass is kept down for about five years, al- though this varies with the sea- sons. * * * Thirty acres of corn are grown for silage and fertilized at the rate of 300 pounds of 8-16-16 per acre powed down and an- other 300 pounds of the same mixture applied with a planter. • Later, a side dressing of 150 pounds of amonium nitrate per acre is used. Following corn, oats is grown as a nurse crop. This is fertilized with 200 pounds of 8-16-16 applied through the drill with the spouts off. This ensures good establishment . of grasses and clovers (ladino, al- falfa and brome) for hay and pasture. * * * After each cut of hay the sod is top -dressed with 150 pounds of `5-10-10 per acre. Pastures receive an annual application of 500 pounds of 8-16-16 or 0-15- 30 per acre and provide the bulk of roughage from early May un- til frost comes in October. Any pasture supplement required is provided by corn silage. In ad- dition to providing hay and pasture, grassland fills six silos each year. This quality roughage feeding is supplemented by 16 per cent protein grain fed at an average rate of • one pound protein_ to three pounds of milk, • •* * * A new concept of building, up boil fertility is being introduced this summer to the high value cash crop areas of southwestern Ontario, * * * The practice, known as "plow down", involves the broadcast- ing of . fertilizer on harvested fields in late summer or early fall and plowing or discing it into the soil. This leaves the grower with the necessity of making only one fertilizer ap- plication the following year by eliminating the early spring ap- plication during the busy plant- ing season. Plow down is .ex- pected to become wide -spread :in areas where two annual ap- plications of fertilizer is an ac- cepted practice. * * * According to Thomas Henry of the Chatham district of the C -I -L agricultural chemicals department, plow down has many other advantages besides easing the pressure of spring work. He says that it does away • with winter fertilizer storage problems and requires no extra handling. It increases yields by providing extra nutrients re- quired by many crops that re- ceive planter treatment only. The deeper application of plant food by plow down gets it into the moisture zone which en - acs Alcan Boom In Canadian Wilderness Shows Way To Industrial Dispersal By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent Kitimat, B.C.-(NEA)- Many of the answers to the problem of relocating and dispersing American industry as a defense against atomic attack can be found In this amazing new com- munity in northwest Canada, 100 miles south of Alaska. In fact, the very heart of this industrial project, a 450,000 - horsepower generating plant, Is probably the best protected source of electricity against A- bombs on the North American continent. Its site is hewn out of solid rock in a cavern large enough to house the liner Queen Mary, 1,400 feet inside a moun- tain. Many of the objections which have been made against greater dispersal of U.S. industry were raised when the Aluminum Com- pany of Canada announced that it planned to invest 275 million dollars to create a brand new, major aluminum smelter up here. But by imaginative use of me latest engineering and scientific developments and modern com- munity planning techniques, this area which a few years ago was virgin, rugged mountain wilder- ness is well on its way to becom- ing a new industrial center of Canada. • * * Alcan (Alminum Company of Canada) is already second only to Alcoa in the U.S. in aluminum production, and this city's output should make it the world leader, The city could have an economic impact on the whole northwest section of the U.S. There are now more than 0,000 permanent residents of the area, including families. The flow of other private industry here indi- cates that 50,000 persons might be calling this place home in a few years. • Just about every feature of Kitimat, including getting people to enjoy this remote area with its rains and snows was once said to be impossible to create. But every technical, transpor- tation and social problem has been licked so thoroughly that Alcan plans to raise its invest- ment in Kitimat to half a bil- lion dollars. * * * Here -are some of the things taking place today which the pessimists said would never happen: Water from the 5,500 square miles of mountain lakes which used to run off unused to the east is now profitably flowing west. The eastern end was dam - FT. ST, JOHN 1046 w INOVAA te.

The electricity is carried on transmission lines to the smelter 50 miles across some of the rock- iest, most snow -bound terrain on the continent. By using the latest navigation aids ships bring alum- inum ore all the way from Ja- maica. They finally pass through the treacherous 80 miles of tide- water channels connecting Kiti- mat with the Pacific, arriving several times a week. * $ * Getting permanent workers to pull up stakes with their fami- lies and move to this remote, rainy -snowy - although never • sub - zero - area was one of Alcan's biggest problems. Getting families to move anywhere is one of the big arguments against attempting industrial dispersion in the U.S., too. But Alcan called on the serv- ices of Clarence Stein, a world - famed city planner, and the city planning firm of Mayer and Whittlesey. It turned them loose on all aspects of creating an at- tfactive toyvn which would lure and hold enough workers to keep th eplant going. The planners then took up such things as giving every kitchen a view of a white -topped mountain, locating residential sites so that prevailing winds would not blow plant fumes to- ward homes and locating schools so that kids did not have to cross major streets to reach school. They blueprinted such things as mosquito - control methods, shopping areas, schools, churches, automobile exressways, c 1 v 1 c centers and sports areas. Although the first grass is just beginning to show on the lawns of the 500 modern new homes which have been built, the suc- cess of the planning effort is showing all over. Just about every resident of the new town is happy with it. The citizens have complete democratic control of •the city and are holding elections. With the help of Alcan, workers pay $700 down and $60 a month for a $14,000 house. Every house, built by private contractors, has been sold. Most of• the 450 houses under construction al- ready have been purchased. * $ * Private capital has moved in with concrete block, factories, lumber mills, banks, industrial gas plants, hotels, stores, restau- rants and paper firms have scouts TO LURE FAMILIES into wilderness industrial town called for modern cominunity planning technique. Schools were built as the plant went up. These are second graders at Kitimat, POWER IS FIRST TIIING that started the huge aluminum pre. ject in Kitimat, B.C.

To reduce Kitimat's remote- ness there are two airline flights in and out each day. Passenger seaplanes fly in from Vancouver, 400 miles south, in about three hours. Twice a week passenger steamers arrive from Vancouver and a spur of the Canadian Pa- cific RRailway from Terrace, Terrace, B.C., 43 miles away, connects with the town. Convinced that the whole idea is now a success, Alcan is going ahead with major expansion of its plant and is ready to seU power to any other industry willing to move up here. Work is going on to double the, smelter's capacity to ` 331,500 tons annually. This will be com- pleted in 1959. The ultimata planned capacity is 150,000 tont a year which will make Kitimat the largest aluminum smelter in the world. courages deeper root growth, thus making the plants more resistant to drought conditions, * * • * Mr. Henry maintains that fer- tilizer applied to trashy surfaces and plowed under, speeds de- composition of fibre stocks into humus, thus enriching the 'soil and increasing its capacity to hold water.
