Notice To Star Weekly Customers There are a number of back issues of The Toronto Star Weekly being held at The Standard office for subscribers. We would ask those people with back issues to kindly call and pick them up and if they wish to discontinue taking the publication during the summer to so notify us at the tune. Issues of the Star Weekly are non-returnable,•thus we must j,ay for them every month, and under present conditions we find that it may become possible that we will have to discontinue this service simply because of the issues left on our hands which more than offset the small profits paid to dealers by the publishers. We do not wish to do this. Won't you please help us by enquiring to see if you have back issues, and by teling us if you do not wish to con- tinue the "Star" during the slack sum- mer reading period.

CONGRATULATIONS Birthday congratulations to Mr, Gor- don Snell of Westfield who celebrates his birthday on Monday, August 1st, Congratulations to Norma Jean Bul- mer, of London, at present visiting with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Johnston, Blyth, who will cele - According to a communication re- ceived by Town Clerk -Treasurer Geo. Sloan, from the Depurtment of High- ways office in Toronto, the applica- tion for a blinker light at the corner of Qu.ecn and Dinsley streets, the main intersection in Blyth, has been turned down by the Department. The reason given is that visibility ab the approaches to the main intersec- tion are good, and that accidents, or the lack of them, at the corner, does not warrant the installation. The Depart- ment had a man here to look over the situation, according to Mr. Sloan. The Department recommends that parking of cars be restricted to with- in eighty feet of the corner on the four roads leading up to the main intersec- tion, and that angle parking on the streets be eliminated entirely. At tho present time angle parking is allowed on the east side of Queen street. The news is most disappointing to those of us who live and work daily so close to the intersection and sen the narrow escapes that so frequently occur.' From what we can gather the De- partment must he convinced by acci- dents, and probably tragedy, of the necessity for caution at our main corner. Let's hope they never have cause to be presented with the neces- sary proof. The application for the light was made early in June by the local branch of the Canadian Legion, to Mr. John W. Hanna, M.P,P. for Huron -Bruce, who we believe did everything in his power to present the petition favour- ably to the authorities, Blyth Muni- cipal Council has also been working to get the installation, but all hands have failed, at least for the present. brate her first birthday on Tuesday, The Standard hopes that efforts will August 2nd. continue to have the installation made, The Beard Had CJs Fooled ••• For A Moment Only PERSONAL INTEREST Mr. and Mrs, John Leith of Hamil- ton, renewed acquaintances in Blyth this week.

AT CADET CAMP Mr. Frank Armstrong, son of Mr. and Mrs, James Armstrong, is among the cadets on a three -weeks' trailing course at Camp Ipperwash, Frank was home over the week -end for a visit, Fortner Auburn • Nile Native Visiting Relatives Here Mr. and Mrs, Orval Whitney, of Win- nipeg, Man„ are visiting the former's cousin, Mr. Alex Manning, and Mrs. Manning, of Blyth, Mr. Whinney is a native of the Nile district, but lived near Auburn until Ile moved west with his parents in 1903, when he was 13 years old. He is a son of the late George Whitney and Martha Roberton, There is a family of one brother and three sisters besides Mr. Whitney, Frank of Otsego, Mich,, Pearl (Mrs. Brown) of Manitou, Man„ Corn (Mrs. Harry Carter) also of Manitou, and Laura, of Winnipeg.

His wife is the former Mari_ Wiens, of Morris, Man. They have no family. He has visited back cast three limes previous' to the present visit, In 1934, 1938, and 1952, The editor, and no doubt many oth- er old friends as well, got quite a shock last week when a man appeared on our streets Bedecked in the most beautiful red, curly whisker and moustache one would care to gaze upon. The editor happened to be out at the time the gen- tleman called at the office, and when we were summoned home to meet the man with the whiskers we stood somewhat aloof, wondering who in the world we could know with a red beard. The gentleman helped us out by smil- ing, speaking, and extending his hand. There was really nothing to go, on for expression but the eyes, but we caught on and recognized behind those whis- kers nine other than Jim Ruddell, for- mer resident of this community, and for the past 11 years a resident of Sault Ste. Marie. He and Mrs. Ruddell and children are visiting the latter's sister, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Howatt, and other relatives in the district. Cause for the whiskers is the fact that Jim is one of several entered in a centennial contest at the Soo. He started growing the beard on February 1st, and the contest does not occur un- til Sept. 5th. He remarked that the first two weeks were the toughest. Mrs. Ruddell was the former Edna Plowman of Donnybrook. They have three children, Shirley, age 10, Reece, aged 7, and Oris, aged 2. ,Jinn is an employee of the Algoma Steel Co. Friends were happy to seo thein again, and we hope he lets us know how he comes out in the beard contest. We don't know much about judging beards, but Jim's is a dandy, and he should finish well up in the running, C.P.R.

Up in northern Michigan you will see wayside stands and small bakeries selling Pasties — a rich, flaky pastry holding a well.sea- soned mixture of meat and vege. tables. (Bv the way the "a" is prdndunced short so that Pastie rhymes with "nasty" rather than "tasty" although the latter is really the word for them. Cornish settlers who came from Cornwall, England, about 1830 to explore the lead and copper mines in this area, brought with them their traditional dishes. The one most generally adopted was the Pastie often called "Cousin Jack Pasties." In place of sandwiches, Corn- ish miners took Pasties, eating them hot or cold. The story goes that the Pastie is crescent- shaped because it was carried in the miner's hip pocket! Just as popular today,-tha Pas- tle is eaten as casually in this area as the hot clog and ham- burger is eaten in other parts of the country. They make heatrty snacks and are good lunch box or picnic food, too. When served as a Cornish meal the menu might consist of the delicious Pastie with mush- room sauce and pickles, Devon- shire cream (clotted cream) and Saffron cake in the dessert role. Tea, of course, for the beverage, with a tossed salad to top things off.

William Tecumseh Sherman during the Union leader's march to the sea. The centen- arian lived on a plantation near Phenl City, Ala., then. He was the property of a Doctor Ingersaw, who bought him for $500. • 2. Cut shortening into dry ingre- dients until mixture is the texture of coarse cornmeal. 3.

Puffing and valve -pushing have to be synchronized perfectly to get the desired result, Why People Take To A Hermit's Life For the Iast thirty-five years of her life a rich Scots woman, who was once a lovely and pop- ular hostess, sought strict pri- vacy behind barbed wire in her lonely mansion near Edinburgh, it was revealed when she died some time ago, aged ninety-five, Notice boards warned intru- ders away from the house which, once rang to the sound of music and happy, carefree laughter, The barbed wire emphasized the .threats, And everyone ven- turesome enough to persevere in their efforts to establish contact with the woman was likely to be chased by dogs kept for that. purpose. Sharing the woman's strange hermit -like existence was her son. A few hens and a vegetable garden supplied most of their needs. On the few occasions they were seen to leave the house they travelled' in a car whose win- dows were curtained off, At her request the old lady was buried in a private burial ground near the house. Now her son lives on their alone to tend the grave of his mother, whose fortune has been estimated at $1,250,000. It is known she ob- tained a divorce in 1910 and af- terwards resumed her maiden name. What drives some people to cut themselves off from the world and lead a solitary existence? Many have done so in the past; many still do so in 1955, Sometimes it is shattered ro- mance, sometimes 'grief for a loved one, long dead or missing, Sometimes, again, it is avarice or fear. There are records of hundreds of men and women in Britain alone whonever left their homes for years. Some spent their days and nights in rooms which be- came dust -buried museums of the past. When these pathetic hermits have died it has sometimes been weeks or months before their bodies have been discovered. Holidayers staying at a little coastal town in England some years ago were intrigued by the sight of a dilapidated cottage in a thicket within a few hundred yards of a lonely beach. They' decided to look at it more closely. They walked along the weed - covered path and peered through dirt -laden windows into rooms 's where enormous cobwebs hung, Suddenly they had a shock, for they saw staring out at them through a landing window the lined and tragic -looking face of a once lovely woman. Now she was old. Her hair was awry, her clothes unkempt, The holidayers quickly withdrew. From a gamekeeper living in the neighbourhood they heard that evening the strange story of the woman's reasons for living as she did. A pretty young bride of World War I, she had gone to live there with her merchant seaman hus- band. The pair were devoted to each other. Whenever he return- ed to sea she was disconsolate, but they planned that he should quit it .at forty-five and take a part-time job ashore. One day his ship was mined In the North Sea and lost with all hands. The young wife was in- consolable. Her haapiness wrecked, she decided to live on alone in their pretty cottage, Why? Because— she told her startled relatives and friends—she had a strong presentiment that he would re- turn there one night from the sea. Ten years passed, The tragic widow never abandoned hope, She began, however, to shun all company, refused to talk even to tradesmen and left them notes of her requirements and money in the cottage porch, • Then she began to go regu- larly at midnight every night and in all weathers down to the beach with a lighted lantern. She would stay there half an hour waving it towards the sea and then walk slowly home. Gradually she became a com- plete hermit, did no housework, but never neglected her strange nightly vigil. • They found her dead on the beach one,stormy night, eighteen years after her husband's death, the lantern still burning beside her, Police had to dig a tunnel to reach a starving North London hermit who lived for four years in a small room barricaded with a two -foot thick wall of odds and ends. They tunnelled through the rubbish and when the room was cleared seven tons of milk bot- tles, old tins and other "junk" were carted away to a refuse dump. The hermit had - let his hair grow so long that it was like a fur collar over his shoulders, he wore only a loin -cloth as if he had come straight out of the jungle and he pleaded with the police to give him food and then leave him to die. Faded letters found in the room gave evidence of a broken romance. There was also a pic- ture of a lovely fair-haired girl who had jilted him and so caused him to live alone in his bar- ricaded room. Another man who was crossed in love shut himself away from mankind in a hut in a deserted part of Essex for fifty years. His story was published in a newspaper. Next day a woman penetrated his extraordinary sol- itude --the first he had seen for half a century, She proved to be a relative of the girl the hermit had loved, And she had to tell him the news that the girl, although she had married another man, had" died abroad of a broken heart, ut- tering the hermit's name. Neighbours in Yorkshire brought to light the story of an- other recluse who never left his room in a busy city for ten years and ate so little food that he was a living skeleton when wel- fare workers went to his assis- tance, This man had taken a vow of lifelong bachelorhood because he "had always hated women." He had only six shillinigs in his pocket and a bank balance of •five shillings, but his room. was stocked with art treasures worth $40,000 and there were no fewer than 8,000 books scattered about. William Adams, who was About That Famous "Better Mousetrap" You learn something every day , Like the fact that the famous "mousetrap" quotation attribu- ed to Ralph Waldo Emerson and the subject of a never-ending literary controversy, originated in Oakland. The quotation, as oft -repeated, is; "If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mousetrap than his neighbor, though he builds his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door." That was 'a theme frequently expounded by Emerson, b u t while the mousetrap reference made it.known around the world, no reference to such an article appears in any of his writings. In his "Journal" Emersoh re- peated the idea with several variations, declaring the world would find a skilled attorney, men who can pipe or sing, or paint, or raise good corn, or sell wood or pigs, or make better chairs, or knives, or crucibles, or church organs. But nowhere does he leave a written mention of mousetraps. It appears certain that the mousetrap quotation was made verbally by Emerson in a lec- ture he delivered in 1871 in the old Hamilton Church, predeces- sor of Oakland's First Unitarian Church. It was first printed in an an- thology, "Borrowings," which was published by the women of the latter church in 1889, to raise funds for church activities. Years later, when controversy over origin of the quotation de- veloped, Mrs. Sara B. Yule, wife of an Oakland judge, John Yule, confirmed that she had recorded it in her notebook at the time of the Emerson lecture here. Mrs. Yule had made a practice of not- ing such statements and her col- lection provided much of the material for "Borrowings". At one time Elbert Hubbard, founder of the Roycrafters, main- tained he had written the mouse- trap phrase, but it was published earlier in "Borrowings." Incidentally, worshippers at the First Unitarian Church will be interested to know that the central portion of the altar from which the Rev. Arnold Crompton now preaches was made from the desk at which Emerson stood when he lectured here and de- livered the famous phrase 84 years ago,—Oakland (Calif.)

He used to say he kept cats "for luck," They gave 'their own- er warning of any visitor and were, he said, better than the best house dog, The old man lived principally on roots, net- tles and other wild plants, His home was a hut no bigger than a fowl -house, but he called it "Marshland Hall," Everything Stops For Tea Except • Jumbo London remains the insurance capital of the world, with New York a poor second, Lloyd's and famous companies in the City cover such risks as whale -hunt- ing in Antartic seas, hurricanes in Central America, Australia's wool harvest, camel caravan treks across the Middle East's arid wastes, and every kind of sea risk.

On May 16th the brokers wrote out a cheque for 22,295,970 10s, Od,— one of the largest single cheques ever handed over. London also covered a lorry - carrying sixty-six chests of tea on the road from Neriamangal- am to Alwaye, India. Unforun- 'ately, on his travels, the driver met a bull elephant running amok, The trumpeting bull, after smashing and hurling into a stream two lorries laden with .timber logs, turned its fury on the tea truck, It first dislodged some of the top tea chests, then shoved the whole truck into the stream, overturning it on top of the wrecked timber lorries, For Jumbo's onslaught a British firm paid out 21,500.

TIILFA2M FRONT Jokiliaweil Cattle use up an enormous amount of energy fighting horn flies which rob them of sizable quantities of blood each year, This loss of energy and blood represents a great waste of for- age and feed. An animal bother- ed by the parsites may lose as much as half a pound in weight a day, and milk flow may be reduced as much as 20 per cent. * * * The horn fly resembles the house fly, but is only about,half as large. The female lays its eggs on fresh cattle manure, and in warm weather the eggs hatch into maggots in less than a day, * * * The maggot feeds for five days, then rests as a pupa:for about a week before emerging as an adult ready to lay eggs in two days. Thus, the complete life cycle from egg to egg takes only two weeks. At this rate, there would be 12 generati6ns in six months, from spring until fall, but fortunately, there is usually a decrease in numbers during hot, dry weather. * * * I•lorn flies are primarily a pest of cattle, and spend most of their lives upon their unwilling hosts. They feed by piercing the cattle's skin and withdrawing blood. They usually attack the part of the animal's back that mina be disturbed by a swing .•if the tail or head. The flies are sensitive to changes in weather. To nvoid hot sun or rain, they may con- gregate on the under side of the animal, but when the air is cool they frequently infest the base of the horn - hence, the name "horn flies." * * * A quick and_easy method of controlling horn flies on dairy cattle, according to agricultural chemists, is to sprinkle a table- spoon of 50 per cent methoxy- HAPPY TEARS •- Patricia Ann O'Kane, 19, wipes tears of joy from her eyes after winning the title of "Miss New York, 1955" at Palisades Park, N.J.

It should be distributed 'evenly over back, neck and upper sides. Two to three weeks' control has been reported with this treat- ment, Four pounds of the insec- ticide applied at two-week inter- vals is said to be enough to con- trol flies on up to 20 milk cows for 10 weeks. a * • Our innate urge to "save" • things is both a bane and a bless- ing. It can manifest far-sighted thrift or the squirrel-like accum- • ulation of odds and ends. Preserving something -for fu- ture use is the usual motive for saving, and, on the face of it, nothing could be more commend- able. Discarding things that can be of further use is wasteful. The problem lies in deciding what has further usefulness, states a writer in "Farm Pro- gress." * * * It's usually easy to evaluate material goods- But what of our accumulation of intangibles -- the ideas, beliefs and prejudices which are often factors for or against progress? How many of these should be "preserved for future use" and how many should be discarded as having outlived their usefulness, if, indeed, some ever had any value anyway? * * * The livestock industry, as agri- culture in general, is at a point where a re-evaluation of meth- ods and objectives is no longer optional but necessary. Many - outmoded ideas and beliefs are in the way of the acceptance of changes which have already proved practical and economical- ly sound. * *• * To cite but one example: Much of the effort and cost of provid- ing the modern winter housing quarters for a dairy herd is ap- parently "loves labor lost." The shed loafing barn, with its ac- cumulation of droppings well diluted with suitable bedding, offers a warm bed and a cool house which, given free choice, cattle prefer to the warm "clean" barn. The saving iii labor is striking. Housing is simpler and cheaper, and the milk drawn from "shed" cows in a small. milking parlor will likely show a lower bacterial count than that from their barn-stanchioned sis- ters, * * * Introduction of new methods may, in many cases, be slow be- cause of inadequate educational. extension programs. But it can- not be denied that resistance to change is also a, factor, and one which often seems to be stronger in agriculture than in industry, perhaps because of the larger number of individual "entre- preneurs" in the former. * * * Regardless of causes, the les- son is clear. The periodic "stock taking" of industry with its ac- companying re-evaluation of as- sets could •well be. more often imitated by the farmer. Worn- out ideas and beliefs should be quickly "written off" as are any other worthless goods. Saving them may be more of a liability than the business will stand.

So -Called Glamour Is Big Business In the streets of Nice, French- ' men stood and gaped, riveted to the pavement. And no wonder! --for their goggling eyes were taking in the curves of an outsize Marilyn Monroe, sprawling in swelling perspectives in the clouds. An inventor was trying out a publicity gadget for projecting pictures in the night, sky. But the French agree it's a device that should be used with dis- cretion. High above Broadway eighteen miles of neon tubing were used to show a shapely girl walking across a 100 -ft, display, demon- strating lingerie. The illusion of movement was achieved by flashing her on and off in ten successive positions -and the ef- fect was so real that it is said that more than 800 cars bumped into each other on opening night because the drivers were look- ing the wrong way! Out -size publicity is big bus- iness these days. Even when Princess Margaret toured the West .Indies, publicity muscled in. An hour before the Princess stepped ashore at Nassau, Baha- mas, a famous movie actress ar- rived and borrowed the whole colourful welcome, • She charmed her way through the police cordons, posed for pic- tures using the royal yacht as background - a n d publicity agents made sure she was sched- uled for picture pages and head- lines around the World before - she was escorted away. When the Princess visited the island of Grepada, there- were protests because she would be using a closed car, An open American limousine' was substi- tuted instead, shipped in by an enterprising sales agent who realized that useful publicity would accrue to the -makers. . Remember when plump` King Farouk seemed to be chasing lit- tle Mimi Medart, a sweet and unspoiled American girl from St. Louis? As he bent low over her hand the flashbulbs popped. As if in flight, Mimi left her Deau- ville hotel and went to Biarritz . but she had scarcely signed the hotel register there than Farouk and his suite checked in behind her. Mimi's name flashed round the world. So, incidentally, did that of her father, Bill Medart, the American hamburger king. But in the background was the au- dacious Italian publicist, Guido Orlando. When Farouk stepped from a hotel lift and kissed the hands of his friends, Guido made sure that Mimi was pushed well up front, her fingers extended. When he knew that Farouk was moving from Deauville to Biar- ritz, he made sure of the royal choice of hotels. Mimi went ahead and it looked as if a bold, bad monarch was pursuing American innocence. In reality, it all made publicity • . , for hamburgers! When Marqueez, the dancer, came to town, the amazing story went around that she was a Bur- mese temple dancer, the first ever to be allowed to dance on the public stage. On her birth- day, she insisted on riding on an elephant. It made a first-rate picture; Marqueez and Jumbo posed alongside a London bus. But then officials in ' Burma protested that there were no female temple dancers in their country and the truth leaked out, Marqueez was the dancing daughter of a Sheffield tea deal- er. That vintage temple dancer story, however, helped to make her name. - Publicity makes perfect , or at least it's often a decisive ,factor in moulding a career. Before Jane Russell became famous in "The Outlaw," pub- licity scouts thought up hun- dreds of news stories to put her on the front pages. In 23cz years, 50,000 photo- graphs were distributed to make magazine and newspaper readers conscious ,of her curves in the greatest publicity build-up ever known, WORD FROM THE %VISE William Wrigley, the chewing - gum magnate, got into a con• versatton with a fellow -passen- ger on a fast train. The subject of advertising cropped up and his companion asked him why he kept on spending such tabu- lous, amounts on it. "Your product is known ev- erywhere," v.erywhere," he remarked, "why not stop advertising and save a few millions?" Wrigley . thought' for a moment and. said, "This train is going fast, isn't it?" "Yes, over sixty miles an hour," was the reply. Asked Wrigley: ''Why doesn't the railroad company unhitch the engine and let the train travel under. its own momen- tum?"

Britain Takes Alm At Drunken Drivers Drunken drivers are singled out for special attenion in new efforts by the British Govern- ment to reduce road accidents. The goevrnments' road traffic bill, introduced in the House of Commons July 4, is intended as an all-around effort to get tough with road offenders. With 8,250,- 000 vehicles on its gravely in- adequate road system, Britain has one of the worst traffic problems in the world. In 1054 there were 238,281 casualties on British roads, in- cluding 5,010 killed and 57,201 seriously injured. May, 1955, was the worst -ever month for road casualties, Public opinion is increasingly impatient with what it regards as governmental failure to take drastic action. An £85,000,000 ($238,000,000) road extension program was announced here July 5, But the opinion of the Labor opposition in the Com- mons and of a large part of the nation as a whole is that ex- isting plans are completely in- adequate, Furthermore, existing British laws are condemned for being antiquated and unhelpful in countering the road casualty problem. It is at this shortcom- ing in the law that the new road traffic bill is aimed. For one thing, the law on drunken drivers is to be changed. Hitherto, magistrates and juries have been confused in their ruling. It seemed that the law failed to distinguish be- tween a driver who drove.when drunk and a driver who recog- nized his inability to drive and took a snooze . by the roadside or even parked his car and went home to bed. In this repect the law out- raged public opinion. 'There was confusion among the police, the medical professions, and the cornets. The new bill aims to • iron out the anomalies and deal more severely with drunken driving through fines up to $300,' disqualification, and prison sen- tences. The charge of being drunk in charge of a car will be less ists will be encouraged to desist severe in the hope that motor - from driving if they think they are under the influence of al- cohol. In the course of the Com- .. mons debate on the new road traffic bill, a former Laborite Home . Secretary, Chuter Ede, made an urgent plea to the medical profession to show more responsibility in its court evi- dence on drunken drivers, Mr. Ede, a respected veteran mem- ber of the Commons, spoke from personal experience as a magistrate when he said that doctors often confused jurymen with their evidence. Leniency Charged Mr, Ede cited a doctor who declared in court that the term "drunk" was a colloquial term and he didn't know what it meant, Mr. Ede said it should be quite clear to a doctor when a driver was sufficiently drunk to be incapable of driving with- out due care, Mr. Ede made the serious al- legation that some doctors were inclined to be too lenient with middle-class drivers. In other words, what he appeared to mean was that there was a ten- dency to shield people who were thought to get drunk in a tra- ditional gentlemanly way. Mr. Ede's high standing is ex- pected to give considerable weight •to this denunciation of some doctors for being soft with drunken drivers. Mr. Ede said he did not think there should be leniency for dangerous driv- ing when 600 children were be- ing killed on roads every year. R. Barclay Warren, B.A., B.D. Ezekiel and the Earlier Captivif/ a Rings 24:8-15a; Ezekiel 1:2-3; 18:30-32. Memory Selection: Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin, Ezekiel 18:30. This generation has witnessed the transfer of thousands og peace -loving people from therr homes into Siberia and other parts of Russia. It is not a new thing, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the Chaldeans took Jehoialdin the king of Judah and carried him away captive. "Surely at the commandment o! the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight." During the three months reign of his son, Jehoiachin, Nebuchadnezzer laid seige to Jerusalem. Jehoiachtn, with his mother, servants and princes went out of the city and s u r rendered. Nebuchadnezzer then took all vessels of gold and 10,000 captives to Babylon. This was the first stage of the cap- tivity of Judah, But God did not leave himself without a witness. Among the captives was a youth named ' Ezekiel. In the fifth year 'Ezekiel was called to be a prophet. God sent him to his own people in captivity, "independent children and stiff -hearted." It was a bold message which he must deliver. "Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin." It differs from much of the pop- ular religion today. Ezekiel said. "Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you 'ti new heart and a new spirit: for why. will ye die, 0 house of Is- rael? For I have no pleasure In the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye." Ezekiel's message is still timely. Gaining confidence in yourself is not suft- ficient. We must turn from our stns to God or sin will be our ruin. People prefer to keep their pet sins and yet have a sena* of assurance that all is well be- tween them and God. This Is a false security, God abhors sin. We must abhor it, too. Only then will we find refuge in God, NO PRIVATE EYES IN '5 PROVINCES The last /census showed 14 detective agencies in Canada -- 5 in Ontario, 3 in Quebec, 8 in British Columbia, 2 in Manito- ba and 1 in Alberta.

News Of Interest To Farmers 101) PERCENTFROZEN SE:111:N IISEI) BY BREEDING ASSOCIA'T'ION The Waterloo Cattle Breeding Asso- ciation arificial insemination Unit at Waterloo has become the first in the world to use 100 percent frozen semen. The announcement made by manager. Roy G. Snyder at the unit's bull night held last week, amazed many of the 1,200 attending, because although the Unit went HO percent frozen last De- cember, this was the first official an- nouncement of the change. He said a total of 35,000 cows had been bred with the frozen semen. The conception rate was a little higher than that from liquid seinen drawn daily and possibly a little better than by natural breeding. "We have bred enough cows now to know the frozen semen to be "statis- ticaly significant," he said, "It proves beyond a doubt that frozen semen is satisfactory." The semen may be stored in dry- ice at 112 degrees below zero for many months. This means that a farmer can breed to the bull of his choice at the Unit, even one which is dead, said Mr. Snyder. It would be possible for a farmer to breed his entire herd to one bull. However, he dries not recom- mend this, he recommends two or three different bulls, Another advantage is that "almost any bull, owned by anyone anywhere,. can be )made available for selective: mating," he said. It also, means that a farmer can arrange in advance to use any bull in a Unit. Mr. Snyder does not think there Is a great deal more cost in using the frozen semen than the liquid semen. The extra cost involved In freezing the semen is offset ,by the fact that there is not the wastage of semen and strict- er quality controls can be maintained. Shipments do not have to be made ev- ery day to the seven branch offices which are equipped to handle frozen semen. The results of the new process could be a super race of cattle, said the unit manager. "If a super race does not develop from these modern methods, it is only because the minds of men cannot pro- duce the ideas for the right matings," he said. He qualified the statement with "I do not expect a super race of cattle immediatey but I do expect then) to be better than the average." Waterloo has pioneered in the arti- ficial insemination of cattle in Canada. The process was begun in North Am- erica in the late '30s with the idea that by using better bulls all breeds would be improved, and at a price everyone could afford. The first artificial breeding in Can- ada originated in Waterloo county in 1941, "One of the things we are proud of Is that Dr. C. R. Reeds worked in the first artificial breeding business right here in Waterloo," said Mr. Snyder. He left to manage the Maple Unit in 1945. Dr, R. J. Macdonald also worked In the first unit, here at Waterloo and he left to manage the Unit at Woodstock In 1940, These men worked with Dr, J. E. Johnson, Waterloo Veterinarian„ who was in charge of the work at that time, A few years ago, Dr, J. A, Hender- son of the Ontario Veterinary College at Guelph, visited England and learned the frozen semen process, He and Dr. J. W. Macpherson did most of 1110 pre- lhninary experimental work in Canada. The Waterloo unit co-operated by supplying semen to be frozen and mem- bers' cows on which to use the semen. History was made two years ago when the first calf in Canada resulting from the use of frozen semen was sir- ed .by a unit Jersey bull, Jester's Dreamer. More and more cows were bred with frozen semen last summer until the Waterloo unit directors were satisfied that the method was practical and suc- cessful, Last December 1st, they gave the approval to change over to the process entirely, CEiRTIFIED SEED POTATO EXPORTS Export sales of certified seed potatoes from the 195.4 crop amounted to ap- proximately 2,314,000 bushels. This is a decrease of over 500,000 bushels from the export sales of the 1953 crop, The decrease was caused largely by Argen- tina not being in the market, and low- er sales to the United States. Shipments were made to 18 countries, while the 1053 crop went to 17 differ- ent countries, No 'sales were made to Brazil, Peru or Argentina, but small sales were made to Guatemala, Hol- land, Puerto Rico, and Equador. The bulk of the export shipments went to the following countries: United States 384,000 bushels, Uruguay 294,000 bushels. Venezuela 285,000 bushels, and Cuba 227,000 bushels. In 1953 Canada shipped over 17,000 bushels to Greece, while in 1954 over 58,000 bushels were sold to that country. Italy on the oth • er hand took only 16 bushels from Canada in 1953 and found the yield from) this seed so satisfactory that they purchased 2,400 bushels in 1954. This is the, first year that a shipment was made to Egttador, although small sales have been made infrequently to the other countries, The most popular varieties on for. eign markets are; Sebago, Katandin, Pontiac. Irish Cobbler, Bliss Triumph and Kennebec in that order. On the domestic market, Prince Ed- ward Island the big potato producer in Canada, sold n total of 720,000 bushels to all of the other provinces except Manitoba, Saskatchewan and' British Columbia. Nova Scotia sold 15,000. bushels locally within the province, and :few Brunswick approximately 255,000 bushels to Prince Edward Is- land, Quebec end Ontario. Other pro- vinces sold less than 100,000 bushels on the domestic market, with British Co. lumbia sales amounting to 110,000 bush- els locally. i Total sales of all provinces to other provinces amounted to a total of slight. ly over one million bushels in 1954. The domestic market for the 1953 crop was considerably larger reaching a total of almost 2 million bushels, GROWING, PULLETS FOR EGG PRODUCTION Several methods of growing pullets have proved satisfactory. Such details as sufficient space in pens and range shelters and plenty of hopper space are, perhaps, more important than the, actual method of rearing, providing the birds are reasonably well fed. Pul- lets are icing grown entirely indoors with satLsfactory results. The use of shelters on grass range, however, is more popular than confinement rear- ing with pullets hatched in the spring. Experimental work indicates that it is not necessary, and may even be harmful, to force the growth and de. velopmcnt of pullets with very high protein feeds. On the other hand, se. vere restriction of feed may be equally harmful, If some feed restriction is practised it is necessary to dispense the feed in measured amounts in troughs or on the ground, since re- striction on the basis of length of feed- ing time is relativey ineffective in re- tarding, feed consumption. A satisfactory method of rearing pul- lets with a minimum of labour, is fol- lowed at the Canada Department of Agriculture Experimental Station at Fredericton, N.B. The method involves full feeding of mash and grain on ran• ges, with free access to oyster shell, grit and water. Large, well construct-, ed feed hoppers which require little attention, are used on range. Mash, oats and wheat are fed in separate, hoppers, or in separate compartments of each hopper, The birds . balance their own ration. and a much larger proportion of grain than mash is usu- ally eaten. The pullets are housed and fed a laying ration before egg produc- tion exceeds five percent, West Wawanosh Council The West Wawanosh Council held their regular July' meeting with all members present.

We are in the seventh month of the present year, and time is really flying, with the bulk of the grain cut, and work on farms and gardens progres- sing uninterrupted by rain, which is so badly needed. Crops are ahead of schedule because of the hot, dry weath- er, but are 'generally reported to be of good quality. Sunday's respite from the intense heat 'didn't last long, but it was wel- come. More of the same would be ap- preciated by everyone. PERSONAL INTEREST Mr. and. Mrs. Emerson Wright, Mr. and Mrs. William Morritt and.

FRIENDSHIP i:XAMI'LE FOR WORLD While statesmen and diplomats go on meeting and discussing the possi- bility of peace amongst the Great Pow• ers, Canada and the United States con- tinue to give actual evidences that two nations can, and do, live as friendly neighbors. They crass and recross constantly a long international border without any serious problems, This co-operation has, for one example, made an actuality of construction of the great St. Lawrence Seaway which is a practical example of what may be a chieved through mutual trust and friendship, not to mention many others, The most recent example of this his- toric friendship has been the visit of the renowned Ontario Department of Highways' Fort Henry Guard, King- ston, to Washington where they were guests of Marine Corps of the United States, Since that notable event exem- plified the good will between the tw•n countrles, I -fon.

The trip of the For Henry Guard south was 11 return visit of 0 trip made by the Marine Corps to Old Fort Henry in August, 1954, to as- sist in the celebration of the signing of the Ogdensburg Treaty between Can- ada and the United States, Both happenings make evident the fact that countries can forget the past and live and trade with one another peaceably. The invitation to the Guard had conte from the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps, Gen- eral Lemuel Shepherd, Jr., on March 17, of this year, The Fort Henry Guard is a special body of Canadian University students employed through the summer months by the Ontario Department of High- ways to visualize, for visitors to the old Kingston Fortress, phases of Cana- dian history during the unsettled linea, (By -Sidney Richmond) The Guard commemorates the forty British and Canadian units, all famous regiments, that garrisoned Fort Henry from 1812 to 1940, . Many of those un- its are existent still with such well- known names as the Royal Welch Fus- liers, the King's Royal Rifle Corps, the Black Watch, the South Wales Bor- derers, the Queen's Own • Cameron Highlanders, and ohers, Inasmuch as the visit to Washington has rare significance, it is interesting to note what took place after the Guard left Kingston on a C.N.R. train taking its way to Montreal, Rouse's Point and on. There were several sleepers need- ed to.accommodate those who went and also a baggage car, of course, but - and this is "something" -in, that car was a special. pen for the pure white goat called "David", because it is the mascot of the Fort Henry Guard, and takes its place calmly, • proudly, with every formal Drill of the Guard, It Is one of the attractions for the thous- ands who each summer visit the Fort.

The first official function in which the Guard took part was their partici- pation in the regular Marine Corps Sunset Parade on July 1, a special ceremonial in honour of Canada's Na- tional Day and the visiting Fort Henry Guardsmen. The Guard posted sentries at the gates of the Barracks and then took part with the Marines in thea' years -old ritual. .The colors of both units were paraded after t)fe Fort Hen- ry Guard had taken their place along- side the Marines, Later, the Fort Hen ry Guard put on a demonstration of British battle tactics of the period 1861 The big audience present is reported to have comprised diplomatic, govern- ment, service and civilian dignitaries. Over the week -end, drill rehearsals, sight-seeing tours and other pleasan- tries engaged the titfne of the visitors. On Sunday morning the Guard r raded to the church in which the Com - mondani of the Marine Corps worships. On July 4, the United States Inde- pendence Day, the climax of the visit took place, That is, the scarlet clad Fort Henry Guard jointed United States Marine Corps units in a parade to Ar- lington National Cemetery, just across the Potomac River from the District of Columbia, and there took part in the impressive dedication of the Marine Corps Iwo Jima War Memorial which stands not far from the United States' Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the United States monument in honor of young citizens of that country who served in Canadian Armed Forces in the First World War and gave their lives to, as President Wilson said, to help "Make the World Safe for Dem- ocracy," Later in the day, the Fort Henry Guard visitors staged some of their own special ceremonial drills and fired what Is known as a "feu de joie", probably the first time this special rifle salute was ever demonstrated in Washington. It was fired by the Canadians in honor of Independence Day, For those who may not have had the opportunity to visit Fort Henry and see the Guard, it may be interesting to know that their uniforms are authentic replicas of the uniforms worn by the Imperial troops stationed at the Fort during the 1860's, They are made in the Fort by the regimental tailor, and the leather equipment is shade by 'the regimental leather artificer, both of whom are employed by the Ontario Department of Highways as part of the Fort activities. The arms of the Guardsmen are Snider -Enfield rifles, which were first issued to the British troops in 1866. Everything about the old fortress. has been carried out to give, so far as humanly possible, the atmosphere and, look of things as they were in early times. At is this "natur- alness" of a previous period in the his- tory of Canada that has made the Fort such a popular place to visit.

Not the England of big cities and busy traffic but Eng- land with its white cliffs, irreg- ular rugged shoreline washed by the incoming tide. England with its hills and downs and ancient little villages with nar- row winding country roads. I travelled by motor -coach from London to Bournemouth and the drive was unbelievably beautiful. Very few straight line fences, 'instead miles and miles of hedgerows, very often a solid mass of rhododendrons, of a most beautiful shade of mauve, In parks and in the grounds of large estates the rhododendrons are cultivated and the colours are then more varied—red, old rose and different shades of mauve. Russell lupins are everywhere" and the roses are out of this world. In the fields there is plenty of Queen Anne's lace, mustard, and to my delight, occasionally a patch of red pop- pies. But of course, not a bit of chicory! Birds . I and too late for cuckoos and nightingales but there are plenty of singing blackbirds and magpies. I stayed overnight at Bourne- mouth with my sister-in-law A longer stay was not possible as she was going to Norway the following m o r n i n g. Bourne- mouth is a fashionable seaside summer resort on the South coast. It is very beautiful but you can't go in or out of it with- out climbing terrific hills. The residential district covers a wide area—of hills, of course. We -went on a sight-seeing bus to nearby Boscombe and the driver went for at least one and a half miles in low gear through a residential area with several hairpin turns ' on steep hills, Certainly Bourne- mouth is a beautiful place but I wouldn't live here for anything —not with those hills! On my journey from London to Bournemouth by motor -coach we came through New Forest where there wasn't a fence of any description. Cattle and for- est ponies wandered at will along the bylaws and hiehways. It was nothing to see a picnic party joined by a few ponies eager for tidbits and a little petting. On the other hand some of the ponies are decidedly wild. "New Forest" is a heavily wooded area set aside by Wil- liam the Conqueror as a conser- vation project. It was larger at one time but it still covers an area of 92,000 acres, or about twenty miles by fourteen! My next journey was to Swan-' age — a beautiful little seaside town, completely different from any place I have seen so far. There are many quarries in Dor- set so naturally a good deal of the building in years gone by was with stone, Not only are many of the houses and other buildings made with stone but the roofs are too, Great big stone shingles—if .one can call them that e— and how they wer ever made to stay on the roof I can't imagine, Of course, there are modern buildings too — of necessity — as Swan- age suffered considerably from bomb damage -during the :var. Fortunately many historic build- ings are still left, For in- stance, at the back of the Town Hall there is "The Old Lock - Up," built entirely of stone. It is about the size of an average bathroom, There is a thick oak door, reinforced with iron bars, no windows, just a small oblong opening high up on the wall for ventilation, and a heavy oak plank along one wall, presuma- bly for a bed. Over the door there is the following inscription —"For the Prevention of Vice and Immorality By the Friends of Religion and Good Order. A.D. 1803." I am staying with a friend of • long standing in Swanage and she has been a, marvellous guide and companion to many of the outstanding historic sites in Dor- set. One day we took a bus trip through "The Hardy Country". The scene of Thomas Hardy's "Tees of the D'urbeiville's". On the way we passed the little country churchyard where Law- rence of Arabia lies buried. More interesting still is the town of Wareham where there is a stone church—St. Martin's—with a seating accommodation for eighteen! It is said to have been, built in 705 by St, Adhelm, first Bishop of Sherborne. After 1762 it was used very little and had fallen into a state of neglect, For two centuries it was little' more han a landmark. Then came Lawrence of Arabia. By his influence and Interest the church was preserved, and nec- essary repairs completed with- out destroying any of its archi- tectural features.

Why they should expect the devil to be in the House of God I don't know. The stone front bears the inscription 1607 so the church was evidentyl added to through the centuries. Inside the church there is a recumbent effigy in stone of Lawrence of Arabia in Arabian costume, So whatever his failings this well-known au- thor certainly has to his credit the restoration of this ancient village church. Anoher interesting historic site is that of Todpuddle which coin- memorates the six farm labour- ers who, in .1833 appealed for better living and working con- ditions for agricultural workers. At that time. wages were about eight shillings a week—although a loaf of wheaten bread was one shilling a 4 -pound loaf, The six men were deported to Australia for daring to attempt to form a - union against their employees, At Todpuddle there is a seat un- der an ancient oak tree where the men held their secret meet- ings. There is also a row of six houses erected in memory of the men, the houses being named one for each of the men. An- other landmark we passed was the ruins of , the famous Corte Castle, of which I may tell you more later. In fact there Is much, much more I could tell you about ,Dorset even 'though I have been here such a short time. But tomorrow I must be on my way to Bath. Maybe 1 shad drink of the famous waters and get omse of the travelling aches and pains out 'of my bones! The weather has been quite chilly. Wrote His Will On Postage Stamp A will written on a restaurant table mat has been filed for pro- bate in a Chicago court. It dis- posed of aabout $30,000 and wau witnessed by the restaurant own- er, who said: "This is surely the most remarkable will ever made" A North Country solicitor actually wrote his will on ice. While skating on Windermere Ile fell through the ice, but managed to support himself for a time. Then, despairing of be- ing rescued, he used his pen- knife to scrawl a few words' 01) the ice disposing of his fortune. Luckily he was rescued. About the smallest will on re- cord was written on the gummed back of an ordinary postage stamp. The writing, though very tiny, was easily decipherable with the aid of magnifying glass. As this will was properly signed and witnessed, there was no dif— ficulty about admitting it to probate.

McCALLUM President ' General Managor Some of Baseball's Best -Known Screwballs The late Uncle Wilbert Rob• Inson's Brooklyn Dodgers (call- ed the Robins then) had been taking their spring exercises in Jacksonville, Florida, for some- thing like three weeks when a rookie inquired idly of his roommate, "Hey, ' what's the name of this town, anyhow?" "You mean to tell me," the roommate demanded, "that you been here all this time and don't know what town you're in? For gosh sakes, don't let Roble bear you say something like that." "Who's Robbie?" the rookie asked. "They don't have characters like that in baseball these days," old-timers often complain, wist- fully and inaccurately, "The game hasn't got the color it used to have." Fact is, the harle- quins and gowks and chowder - heads are still with us, and probably as numerous as they aver were, Trouble 'is, there are no Ring Lardners or Charley Drydens to make then memor- able in prose, After all, there never has been more than one Rube Wad- dell or Ossie Schreckengost at a time, (It was Waddell whose contract provided, at his room- mate's insistence, that he must not eat crackers in bed, and it was Schreck,' the roommate, who once nailed a steak to the hotel dining room wall in elo- quent criticism of the delicacy.) Over the years, the zanies and characters have come along in single file, and they're still com- ing. Before the 1955 season is done, there'll be tales told about some worthy inheritor of the cap and bells worn successively by Waddell, Bugs Raymond, , 'Van Lingle Mungo, Dizzy Dean, Bobo Newsom and, if you like, Yogi Berra, writes Red Smith in "Home and Highway." Perhaps the most imaginative raconteur of them all was )Tarry Steinfeldt, infielder with the old Reds and Cubs, though that claim may be disputed by anybody who has had a dish of tea recently with Al Schacht or Lefty Gomez, Steinfeldt told admiringly of 18 second baseman in the Texas League who was spiked making the putout on an attempted *teal.

He did, and ever since has been building, shooting and selling what he calls the "world's smallest real cannon." Public demand has turned his hobby into a business. He's even had to supply kits for hobby shops, Harold herd checks the scale of une of his tiny cannon, His working miniatures range from 15th Century French bombards to the ear-splitting Rodman gun of.the Civil War.

He and Steinfeldt started ;AT the field together after the game. "Wait a minute," said the • second baseman, '"Feels like there's something in my shoe." He sat down, removed the shoe, and shook out two toes. There was the spring when Clark Griffith took his Washing- ton team to camp in Charlottes- ville, Virginia, and. made each player deposit all his money in the hotel safe on arrival, This was to protect them against temptation, Confident that none of his heroes was able to buy his way into trouble, Griff was prepar- ing for tranquil rest one even- ing when, musing at his win- dow, he saw two men tottering out of the hotel under a weighty burden. He recognized Eddie Ainsmith, his catcher, and a playmate toting the safe away in a quest of 'a cracksman, There was also, in fairly re- cent times, a four-eyed pitcher named Walter ` (Boom -Boom) Beck whose earnestness was not always matched by his effec- tiveness on the mound. He was working for Brooklyn in Phila- delphia's Baker Bow], a tiny playground whose ' tin -faced right field fence resounded res- onantly when batsmen like Chuck Klein or Lefty O'Doul flogged line drives against it, Hack Wilson, playing right field for the Dodgers, had de- voted the previous evening to pursuits of his own taste, and was hung over like a porte- cochere, He grasped and heaved and floundered chasing down hits that ricocheted oft the wall, Max Carey, the Brooklyn man- ager, made several visits to the mound to suggest that Beck re- linquish his 'place to a relief pitcher, but each time Boom Boom begged for and was grant- ed another chance, Bang! went the line drives, Boom! And Wilson huffed and puffed and panted in pursuit, Again Carey called time, and Hack took a breather, feet wide, hands on knees head hanging low as he sucked in deep breaths, Firmly this time, Carey told Beck he was through. In furious protest, the_ pitcher flung the ball away, toward right field. Hack heard it slam the tin wall behind him. He lifted his head, wheeled in panic, scooped up the ball on first bounce and fired to second base — the best throw he had made all day. • We still have 'em — the Becks and • Wilsons, Steinfields and 'Waddells but it requires a little time to appreciate them. It was only last fall, for ex- ample, that some of the news- papermen covering the World Series heard from Branch Rickey, Jr., what it's like to be OUCHI — Waldo Corthes doesn't even clinch, his fists as a Volks- wagon auto runs over his pillow -covered head in Wiesbaden, Germany. Of course, a Volkswagen is not the biggest car around, but would you like to try the trick? An Earlier Ballad Of Davy Crockett The present vogue of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" remids the student of balladry that this isn't the first time Davy Crockett has been romanticized and wide- ly sung in popular song. A hun- dred years ago or more, another song about him- was going the rounds, another "Ballad of Davy Crockett," a piece still alive in tradition in the South and West, where versions of it have been recovered in West Virginia, Ken- tucky, Missouri, Arkansas; and, Texas, It all began with a blackface minstrel song called "Pompey Smash," a name popular enough in the 1840's to be parodied by Old Dan Emmett as "Pompey SEES SEA DAVY — A seagoing Davy Crockett. That's what 7 - year -old Bart Howard .found at the Maritime Museum in San Francisco. Young Bart's hero was the figurehead on a clipper ship named' for the King of the Wild Frontier. the employer of one of these baseball whacks, A newspaperman had been recounting how Branch Rickey, Sr., who could give William Jennings Bryan twenty pounds and outdo him in persuasive eloquence, had • been talked to the edge of despair in a wage discussion with a rookie named Dizzy Dean, Young Branch chuckled, "I wonder if that was the same day a little thing happen. ed at home," he said. "I was still a young fellow. Dad came home for dinner one night and he wasn't like himself, He was always ` a handy man with a knife and fork, you know, but this night he just picked at his food and he kept muttering over his plate, • "I heard him say, :'But I'm ,an intelligent Irian,' I . said, 'What did you say, dad?' But he kept talking to him self, 'I know I am," he said, 'That's what wprries me,' I said, 'Huh?' but he went on to him- self, "'I'm as intelligent as the next man,' he said, 'Why, I'm a Doctor of Jurisprudence. I read, I think, I discuss weighty mat- ters with great men, I know I'm intelligent, .but—' "'Listen,' I said, 'what's' go- ing on, anyhow?' The old man slammed his palm down on the table and all the dishes jumped, "'Buthe said,, 'I spend five hours talking to a Dizzy Dean!'" O'Smash," with a bow in the direction of the stage Irishman. In this blusutering piece of min- strel horseplay, Pompey Smash, ' lIke Davy Crockett, is a "princi- pal statesman" who, without his head, weighs half a ton He is a Negro -minstrel parody on Davy Crockett and the mythof the fire-eating frontiersman, This minstrel song deals with three of Davy Crockett's folk exploits, all recorded in the pub- lic prints of .the 1830's and.. 1840's. One describes the mytho- logical battles Davy had with Mississippi boatmen, When he locked horns with these critters, he yelled seven times as loud as a whole drove of Injuns and his eyes stuck out two inches,like the Irish. champion Cuchulain's in his battle rage. The second incident rose Out Of Davy's reputed discovery that he could grin a coon out of a tree, and thus save powder and lead, One night he attempted to grin, a coon out of one of the highest limbs of an old tree. He grinned but nothing happened, Frustrated, he went back to his house, got an ax, cut down the tree, only to find that the coon was not a coon but a knot in the branch. He felt a little bet- ter when he discovered he had grinned all the bark off the, branch. . The third bit of business took place when he was campaigning for his seat in Congress. He went down to Hay Hollow, caught an . alligator, bridled- him with a bridle of panther hides, and then got on his back and rode him up to Bear Clearing, right to the stump where the other candidate was speaking, The other candidate left in a hurry, and t h e votes were Davy's. In the natural courses 'of folk• lore, folk incidents like these could have gone directly into a folk ballad of Davy ' Crockett, But they didn't, A minstrel man got in between the incidents and the ballad. Out of these inci- dents he made a minstrel song, in which a Negro named Pom- pey Smash meets Crockett, watches him attempt to grin down a coon, and fights with him when Crockett fails because the coon is • made of. wood. The'epic fight results in a draw and Pom- pey goes on to other adventures with fallen stars and an alligator, In turn, the folk straightened the minstrel man's satire, turned his parody into a folk ballad, started a shift in the emphasis of the ballad from Pompey Smash to Davy Crockett, where, of course, it had been originally. Out of this minstrel song, the folk imagination made the first ballad of Davy Crockett. The ' folk extracted the single main incident of the COM episode and consequent flght, and dropped out the less interesting material, as time and transmission have cut and concentrated many e ballad before this one. The folk also worked over the punch couplet, full of the exag- geration beloved. of those who exploited the frontier, until it emerged in this, its most concen- trated and effective version, from Arkansas: Come to s'arch heads, both heads was missin', He'd bit off my head, an' I had swallered his'n, It was this memorable couplet that made the incident, the min strei song, and the ballad.

So said the pretty Scots girl as she spun around an Edinburgh dance hall to the dreamy strains of a waltz, And when she fell desperately ill she made her husband prom- ise to scatter her ashes at the spot where he had romantically proposed to her—on the floor of the Palais. Gruesome, maybe! But it was truly the last waltz when the young man turned up at the dance -hall with a casket -and duly scattered his wife's ashes on the gleaming floor while the organist played "I'll Walk Beside You!" • An Australian rancher express- ed a last wish to have his ashes scattered from the air over the land he owned and loved. A friend who ran an air -taxi, Mr, Stanley Porter, of Brisbane, per- formed this last rite , and took his two sons with him on the trip. It was a dying wish that brought death—for the 'plane crashed and Porter and one of his sons was killed. • When Francis Covell, the New York painter, expressed a wish to have his ashes shot from a gun on a hilltop overlooking his home, there were technical dif- ficulties. The family comprom- ised by attaching the ashes to coloured balloons, which\ were then shot down! In Rome. Fannie Lepetit di- rected that she should be buried with all her jewellery and she went to the tomb—a vault with steel doors—with $300,000 worth. But since then there have been so many alarms of midnight in- trudes at the cemetery that the police are demanding Fannie should be exhumed and the jewels returned to her family. Sentimental eccentrics have asked to be buried , with family photographs, sheets of music and even tape recordings. 50% MORE BUTCHERS 14,77'r Canadians were em- ployed as butchers or meat cut- ters in 1951, an increase of more than 50% over the 9,485 in this occupation in 1931, IT MAY BE YOUR LIVER If life's not worth living • It may be your Ural 11's a lull It taker op to two pints of dm bio a day to keep your digestive tract in by limpet If your line bile to sot Bowing freely your food may not digest , sae bloats up your stomach ... you feel constipated sod the fun and sparkle go out el 111e.

Donna Hanna of Guelph, Mrs. Norman Hanna and family, Atwood, Ontario Wheat Producers Plan Action The wave of criticism from wheat growers in Seuth-Western Ontario with respect to current prices for new crop winter wheat has resulted in prompt action from the Ontario Federation of Agriculture Wheat Producers' Associa- tion. Replying to compaints from growers concerning the apparent reluctance on the part of their association to estab- lish a more orderly marketing mech- anism, Mr. Edgar Martin of Paincourt, President of the Association, at a meet- ing recently, had this to say; "Until now any attempt to set up marketing machinery would not have been feas- ible. Amendments to the Farm Pro- ducts Marketing Act, the recent provin- cial election, personnel changes on the government board, and differences of opinion among growers.,as to the means by which orderly marketing might he carried out, have all militated against the early establishment of a wheat marketing scheme. However, as a re- sult of meetings this week with the Minister of Agriculture and officials of the Farm Products Marketing Board, we feel that we are closer than ever before to the goals set by our Mem- bers. Also, we have the Minister's as- surance that the petitjons signed icy wheat growers last year requesting a vote on a wheat marketing scheme are still valid." According to reports from the Chat- ham area, the opening price to the grower for new crop wheat was in the neighbourhood of $1.18 to $1.20 per buslnel, In the space of "a few days, however, the price has climbed to a- bout $1.30, In view of the production outlook some observers feel that a fur- ther substantial rise is likely. It is es- timated that the crop in Essex and,Kent will be considerably smaller in volume than normal swing to unsatisfactory conditions at seeding tine last fall. In addition, dealers in South -Western On- tario believe that of the wheat now being harvested, a very large percen- tage is being stored to farmers' accounts instead of being sold outright from the combine as has usually been the case in recent years, In a statement issued by the OFA Wheat Producers' Association, attention is drawn to the prospects of a smaller crop and growers are urged to store as much of their wheat as possible until the price situation becomes clearer, Meanwhile a wheat marketing plan is being prepared by the Farm Products Marketing Board to be used as n basis in determining the course of future ac- tion.
