He suggests that anyone with a: lignted cigarette, particularly those • travelling by motor, make sure that • the cigarette is nut before tossing it • away, This applies particularly on the township concessions where road width is not as extensive as the high- ways and where grass and weeds may be higher, dryer, and all the more in- flanunahlc. Smokers would be doing a good ser• vice to take extra precautions to see that cigarette and cigar butts are out before tossing them away. Unnoticed, they could be the mesons o[ causing unnecessary property damage during this very dry spell which would per• mit a grass lire to spread rapidly al- most anywhere there is t'egettIton, So watch those cigarette and cigar butts. Be sure they're out before tos• sing them carelessly out the car win- dow, or before tossing thein anywhere except it be an ash tray, or the stove at home. TWILL SHOW HORSES AT THE C.N.E.

Bible Designated "Most Exciting Book" What makes the Bible "the most exciting book in the world?" Engineers are using it today as a guide to the natural re- sources of the Holy Land. It contains "the best-known poem ever written." One chapter of Isaiah is cited as "the greatest single writing in all literature." The Acts of the Apostles "is the most exciting piece of his- tory ever written" because it is "the only record we have" of the turning point from paganism to Christianity. These are some of the reasons for Bible reading set forth in the new phamphlet "How to Read the Bible—the Most Excit- ing Book in the World" by the American Bible Society. The pamphlet is issued in con- nection with the publication of a new Bible known as "The Compact Bible," being the King James Version, Edited for Easy Reading, published 'by Haw- thorn Books, Inc., and including all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. It spurns the old theory that the Bible is boring, heavy, or a "pious duty." It cites the book of Psalms as "a sheer delight" for its "beauty of poetry and thought," the book of Proverbs as "better than most of our modern newspaper columnists," contending that "you can't be considered well read until you are thoroughly acquainted with the Bible." "The Bible is not to be read like other books, starting at the beginning," the pamphlet ad- vises but is "a library" in which one should "brownse around." • It suggests that "you might start with Moses . , . one of the half-dozen greatest men in all history" — or begin with the story of Joseph, "the Bible's most complete biographical sketch." ' It calls the 23d Psalm "the best-known poem ever written," __ considered "by -many to be the most beautiful." The 40th chapter of Isaiah, has been called "the greatest single writing in all literature," ac- cording to the pamphlet which challenges: "See what you think of it, especially the last three verses." The book of Mark is men- tioned as "a good one to start with in the New Tes`ament." It says of Mark that he "calls •his book 'the gospel,' meaning 'gond news,' and writes like a reporter covering an exciting world ser- ies—with his side winning." Of this book the pamphlet adds: "It takes you breathlessly through the brief public min- istry of Jesus. It can be read in an hour, and provides a good account of the earthly life of. the greatest man • who ever lived." It advises that the gospel of John should be read last, since it was written later, In support of the 'Bible as a current document, the Bible Society cites the fact that mil- lions today bear Bible names and quote the Bible in everyday conversation in phrases such 'as "the apple of his eye, a drop in the bucket, salt of the earth, sign of the times, powers that be, a thorn in the flesh, a labor of love," This China Cat Is Worth A Fortune Somewhere to -day, perhaps scarcely noticed in a cottage par- lour, or perhaps half -buried in attic dust and cobwebs, is a china cat, worth $250,000. Maybe it's been resting for years on a mantelpiece. Maybe it's lying chipped and forgotten at the back of a tool -shed, I! it's a comfortably recumbent cat, the tail wrapped around the fore- paws, yellowish coffee in colour, if it's eight inches high from base to ear -tip and if there's a small X on,the underside, maybe the money is -yours. Above all, look at the• eyes, crimson and glinting. Are they merely glass beads ... or are they rubies? Two -blood -red rubies disap- peared from the harem of Sulei- man the Magnificent 400 years ago. The Turkish favourite, who had worn them in herearrings, was strangled in her sleep, Her , slayer tore the jewels roughly from her cars and made good his escape, Then they are said to have reappeared at the court of Louis XV of France, embellishing a rich necklace which adorned the charm of the beautiful Madame Pompadour. Afterwards they were sold to a Russian nobleman and passed from one wealthy hand to another until—just sixty years ago — they adorned the 'buxom lady of a rich Berlin in- dustrialist. One night, for the second time in their history, the rubies were stolen. The thief's method of entry — over the rooftops and• 'through • a skylight -pointed to Klaus Gudden, a listed jewel thief. Police spies reported that he had sown the glittering rubies to a confederate. When the police pounced there ensued a rooftop chase and Gudden was shot dead. But the rubies were never found. Insurance investigators probed every detail of Gudden's life. It was three years, however, before they heard of his visits to a ' pottery factory near his home. The factory specialized in china cats with red -beaded eyes, and Gudden had ordered the figure of a cat to be specially prepared and fitted with "beads" of his own. The figure was marked with a small X to distinguish it from others in the batch. But when Gudden failed to return, the cat was included in a factory con- signment of almost identical cats shipped to England. In this country`,the insurance detectives again took up the trail. They visited import `warehouses, china shops and scores of pri- vate homes. But the ruby -eyed cat was never retrieved. •It may have been smashed lona, ago and consigned to a dustbin. ,But maybe this old glazed cat is still in existence, serenely. keeping Rs secret, the. world's strangest hidden treasure! • FEWER EUROPEAN - MOTOIt VEHICLES Canadian sales of new Euro- pean -made mo t o r vehicles reached a peak of 62,880 passen- ger cars and 4,626 commercial vehicles in 1950, but since •then have • steadily declined, Last: year 20,2.":0, passenger cars and 1,V 1. commercial vehicles were sold, H RON I+CL S °/FGINGERFAaRI 4 ( dottr�.e. 0 Che cb e JOURNEY'S END This column is in bits n"d pieces during the last week of my enjoyable stay in old England, Every tine 1 make a move t am convinced no place could be as interesting as the one I am leaving. But it always is, Now I am staying at a quaint little stone cottage at Wymondham in Leicestershire, The walls are 20 inches thick and the floors are 'also of stone. Some of the rooms are oak -panelled and with over- head beams. There are tricky little steps here and there and you have to duck your head going up and down the stairs. The cottage has been modern- ized to the extent of installing light and a modified water sys- tem. The quaintest bathroom—if you could but see itl No room for a full length bath so.a hip - bath, complete with running water was installed in a cup- ' board, with a mounting -stool built in behind the bath) Next door is a similar cottage, which is also the village post - office, Here there is an outside staircase to an upstairs loft. The village church dates back to the 13th Century. It contains the effigy of a knight in armor, Sir John Hameline, a Crusader during the reign of Henry II. There is a small opening to the chancel in one of the inner walls which is known as "the leper's squint". Naturally the unfortu- nate victims„ of the leprosy were not allowed to mix with the congregation but were permitted to watch proceedings of the services through this small ap- erture in the wall. Behind the church remains of a Roman Road were discovered a few years ago, also many pieces of broken pottery and other Roman relics. In this vil- lage there was once an ancient priory founded by Franciscan monks. Nearby is a building— formerly a grammar school - 1630, built entirely of stone with very few windows. Nearby in one of the cottages lives an elderly man, until a few years ago did very well for himself . by driving people around, in an ancient phaeton, relic of the coaching, days, The phaeton, which I saw, is still in usable condition, but has given way to the faster moving vehicle of Our present time. One day I was taken for a drive through the country and visited many medieval build- ings, including the Abbey at Crowland, This village, formerly known as "Croyland" is first mentioned in Domesday Book under the date 895. Part o! the abbey is in ruins but the main part has been restored and is used for church services, More unusual still is the three - cornered bridge in the middle of the village street. This defies description, It is the only one of its kind in England. Now it is over dry land but at one time two rivers met 'here and their course was diverted under this three-way bridge. Nearby is a ' stone block to which boats com- ing, into the island -village were anchored, On my way back to Cambridge I broke my journey for the ex- press purpose of visiting Peter- borough. How glad I am that I did but I can't possibly describe it. After staying. overnight at Cambridge I went by train to Suffolk, the native county of my husband and myself. Here 1 found the small towns and vil- lages unchanged to a very great extent, I sat for a while in the church where I was christened, confirmed and married and . I attended morning service at the parent church of the parish which dates back to thh 12th Century. Joining in the service at this ancient but familiar church revived memories that can hardly be shared. I went all over my childhood home which is a part of Gainsborough's birth- place. And there were old fa- miliar walks . , , and trips by bus to nearby villages, Invita- tions to accept from the few who are left but who were warm in their welcome. Tomorrow begins the last stage of my holiday—Sudbury to Cam- bridge and then to London Air- port. This • column is being scribbled at Sudbury (Suffolk), but will be re -written and sent on its way from London where I shall bid farewell to England. It has been a wonderful experi- ence but now I am looking for- ward to getting HOME!

Mrs, Chatham wrote a song. "Pshawl" said the congressman. "VII bet you $100 you'll never get the song recorded, .another. $100 it'll never be put on the market and still another $100 that you don't make $100 profit on i1." He' has lost all three bits. The tune, 'cn RCA racords, Is called "Lonely, Road."• Trees That Fly Visur lize it, if you can—a giant helicopter passing over your head, carrying beneath it a mighty tree, branches, limbs, foliage, trunk, roots and all, the roots writhing like snakes in the wind. Fantastic? Not according to an American forestry expert who predicts that in fifty years from now logging will be carried out with specially designed helicop- ters. IIovering above the tree, intricate electronic mechanisms will guide hooks to grapple the trunk—and then, like a dentist drawing a tooth, the tree will be pulled bodily from the soil! And what trees! Straight, and tall, they will already have been seasoned and stained to desired by foresters using 'hypodermic - type needles. And the trees, thanks to new scientific know- ledge, will have reached matur- ity from seed in only twenty- five years, instead of the seventy or eighty now needed for most conifers. What you'll wonder, will hap- pen to the tree carried by the helicopter? It will be ferried. across the skies to a mill and gently deposited in a storage site. Every particle of the tree will be used—the pine needles for making pine oils, the branch- ed and roots for pulping and hardboard manufacture, the bark for fertilizers, The sawyer of the future will use rays of atomic radiation. With these he will cut the trunk into boards, each of which will automatically be planed and edged at the same time. There'll be no waste, no sawdust. You can see how this will help the carpenter and builder of the future. The timber will arrive ready for instant use. No need to wait while it seasons. No plan- ing or edging to do, no staining. Moreover, special processes will make the timber so resistant to fire that insurance companies will be ready to offer better terms for buildings using, wood floors and framework than for any other building material. , VET'S REST, FIRST — That rabb't• 'chasing habit and a built-in de- sire to hop for the nearest bramble bush ..when a pooch appears are put in the shade by sizzling midsummer weather, land a little rest in a hammock Is indicated before taking up the chase, or so it would seem, Actually, the critters are pet; of the Delorenzo family. These Ducks Really Had Golden Eggs "Flurry up, Sam, Supper's ready," called Mrs, Peters from the porch of Bad Bottom farm- house in South Australia, "Okay, Mary. What's for sup- per?" shouted Sant as he trudged up the path. "Roast duck and green peas," she smiled, "I chose a beauty from the lot you killed for mar- ket." They were about to sit down when Mrs. Peters glanced through the window and gave a cry of alarm—"The big barn's on fire!" Dropping his knife and fork, her husband raced outside. Black columns of smoke were billow- ing; from the barn's roof, Frantically, Sam and his wile dragged the pump and hosepipe from a shed to the edge of the pond. But the low level of water, due to the drought, hampered their efforts. The blaze spread with terrify- ing speed. Soon, the entire block of farm buildings, except the farm house, was a crackling in- ferno. A high wind fanned the flames. And Sam cursed because Bad Bottom Farm had no tele- phone, and was too far from hu- man habitation for him to sum- mon help. By dawn, the fire had died down. Most of the livestock and all the well-filled outbuildings were lost. Seven years' struggle to produce profit from the farm had ended fin disaster. The dejected couple retraced their steps homeward. "Come and sit down, Sam," coaxed Mrs. Peters. "You're ex- hausted and hungry. Let's finish this duck." Sam made a gesture of despair. "I guess we ought to sell the place," he exclaimed bitterly. "We'd better Move to a more fertile arca and make a fresh start," "Don't talk nonsense!" Mary replied. "You achieved a miracle in these barren. fields, although we could never afford to take on any farm workers, We've had bad luck before. But we've al- ways managed to pay our way.". Suddenly, as Sam ate, he clutched his throat and began to cough violently. A hard morsel of meat was choking him. He raised a hand to his mouth, and a tiny gleaming nugget dropped into his palm. "Looks like goldl" he gasped. "But how did it arrive in the duck's gizzard?" ' "Maybe we'll find more in those ducks you killed for mar- ket,".his wife suggested excited= ly. In nervous haste, Sam seized a knife and slit open the birds to 'inspect their gizzards. -Each one contained fragments of gold ore. Sam's eyes lit up. "There must be more somewhere on the land." For many days and weeks, they explored the soil. But they were unlucky. Eventually, Mrs. Peters had an inspiration. "Let's kill one of the remaining ducks and exam- ine it." - "Why?" "I've a hunch," she replied. "We used up the water in the pond to quench the fire. So these young ducks haven't been able to swim or dive for several weeks. If they haven't much gold inside them, it proves' that the secret lies,at the bottom of the pond," I-Ier theory was correct. Very little gold ore was found in the intestines of .the younger birds. And when the rains came, the survivors. swam and dived mer- rily as water in the pond rose tonnormal level. One- by one, Sam killed the birds. Each yielded a small store of tiny golden fragments. Then he carefully washed his.heap of YOU WOULDN'T LIVE TO TELL ` ABOUT IT—Eerie under -water scene shows how radioactive cobalt 60 is loaded under 14 feet of water into a five -ton steel -and -lead container at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Bar to left of extension Tamp is one of four one•pound' units which together pack the wallop of • ap- proximately 1500 grams of radium.

They drained the pond and probed the muddy depths. A rich vein of gold was unearth- ed, and a contract was signed with a firm of mining engineers. In 1937 skilled workmen brought machinery to the spot, and Bad Bottom goldmine soon became a thriving concern. `Sam Peters amassed a fortune. He and his wife built a beautiful villa on the site of the burnt-out farm. And they designed their own coat -of -arms, incorporating the figure of ,a diving duck. Up And Down Life Clinmbing 1,000 stairs every day for six years may not be everyone's idea of earning a liv- ing. But doing this was all part of the job of 58 -year-old William Dowell, until recently the guide in the famous Whispering Gal- lery at St. Paul's Cathedral, "the parish c hurch of the British Empire." William has now relinquished the job in the Whispering Gal- lery to another guide, and taken over the post of guide in the al- most equelly famous Crypt of the Cathedral, During his career as a guide at St. Paul's, Dowell has met people of nearly every nationality, col- our and creed, including the Chinese, who thought the spiral stalrcase to the Whispering Gal- lery had been built that way so the Devil couldn't get up ill He says the greatest number of visitors to the Cathedral was during June in Coronation Year, when more people wanted to see - the Whispering Gallery and Crypt than even during "Festival of Britain" Year. "I would not change my job -or anything else," says Dowell, who was born in London's East End and started his working life as an upholsterer. SIGN OF TIME—Probable explanation for this sign in los Angeles, Calif,, is that someone got ci speeding ticket and didn't like it, At any rate, paint on the sign warning of a police ambush was still wet when Officer R. Danchwerth pulled it down, photo at right. One back cf the sign, which was signed by a "Citizens Committee, were the words, "Resume Speed." Criminals Caught By Their Teeth One of the little tricks of dis- guise is when a man who knows that the police description of him will refer to his perfect set of teeth, has some removed. People do not like to lose their teeth, however, and even a hard- ened criminal does not enjoy being relieved of his "pearlies." He would much rather disguise his front teeth by blacking out a couple. It is surprising what a difference this will make to his appearance—unless he makes the mistake of walking about grip- ping a pipe --stem between ap- parently non-existent teeth! Teeth have been the downfall of criminals in other .ways. In one case a burglar bit a chunk out of a bar of marzipan and lett a perfect cast to be recogn- ized by ,any competent dentist. Another' revealed his dental characteristics �,in a piece of cheese. Then there is the man who nearly left the teeth themselves behind when biting into an ap- ple which had been cleverly hol- lowed out to conceal a diamond. Other rogues ,have left chewed cigars or even cigarette holders complete with perfect tooth marks for the police,to find. Teeth have also played a part in identifying bodies, as in the Dobkin case when the body of a woman was. found beneath a war -damaged chapel. The teeth are among the hardest parts of the body to destroy. Even. dentures resist destruc- tion as John George Haigh, the acid bath murderer,.found to his cost. The acid in which he placed Mrs. Durand's body had practi- cally completed its ghastly work, but it had not eateh away her dentures, and, by assisting in the idenification of her body, they helped to hang him. No Diet For Jennie Jolly Jennie Brooks weighs nearly 500 pounds and. does not mind if she puts on even more weight. This side-show fat wom- ,an has been in show business ,for five years and loves it. She admits she is no Marilyn Monroe, but she has learned to accept her weight and does not mind people staring at her. Her measurements are: head 22 inches, bust 59 inches, hips 82 inches, and height 5 feet 8 inches. I-Ier great bulk has its prob- lems. Beds, chairs and tables present difficulties. "It's embar- rassing sometimes," she says, "especially when I break through the pews at church." Jennie, 24, was always stout —she weighed 151 pounds at birth. 'She eats five meals a day, and a 5 pound chicken ig just a snack to her. Of her life with carnival people she says: "They are the most wonderful crew in the world. Just like a big fancily. I've learned 'to love the saw- dust." Jennie long ago gave up wear- ing a girdle. Her last garment was size 64, and then she de- cided to give up dieting. She often gets stuck in telephone booths and showers, but clothing is perhaps her greatest .prob- lem. Now she makes her 'bwn and has' a liking for man -style suits, which are easy to fit. Those who love the limelight should remember that it is both revealing and blinding.

Green, Sec: Treas., Gowganda, Ontario, Reluctant Champion Impossible though it may sound, there was a time when that great Czech runner Emil Zatopek, the "Iron Man" of athletics, was not only unknown but was actually a figure of fun. The story is told in a new book about the fabulous athlete. The occasion was the Athletics Championships of the Allied Forces in Berlin just after the end of the war. Zatopek was the sole representative of Czecho- slovakia, and when he appeared in the opening parade, a lone figure behind a soldier carrying the fl'ag of his country, a roar of laughter greeted him, The crowd thought it a huge joke, the soldier bearing the flag was more than a little an- noyed, and Zatopek himself was embarrassed. It didn't help matters when he missed the announcement of the 5,000 metres and had to tear across the stadium, ripping off his track suit as he ran. But the race itself made up for all this. As he had done so many times since, he ran his opponents into the ground and finished an easy winner in near record time. When the final parade of the meeting was held, the attitude of the crowd towards the lone Czech, was slightly different Another story that the author of this book recounts, quashes the idea that Zatopek was born wearing track shoes. Apparent- ly he was forced into his first race, and did' his very best to get out of itl It was 1941 and Zatopek was employed in a shoe factory in Zlin. In order to advertise the prodicts, the employees were "encouraged" to take, part in road races wearing a vest with the name of their factory on it. Zatopek avoided them as much as he could, but eventually his lack of enthusiasm was spotted and he was told to make his appearance at the next race. Still he tried to back out. He faked a knee injury, tried to lose himself in the reading room of his hostel on the day of the race, but all to no avail. He had to run, and he came second. This success meant that there was a demand for his services, but he remained unenthusiastic and did his best not to enter. Only very gradually •did he develop a liking for running. Certainly In those days no one, least of all himself, would have thought of Zatopek as .the man who was to win three Oylmpic Gold Medals in one week at Helsinki and astound the world with his devotion to the cause of running. He was a very, reluc- tant champion. Smugglers' Wiles A Sinhalese returning from India suddenly developed a stomach discovered, by thirteen pieces of gold that she'd swal- lowed to evade the customs! Another traveller who smug- gled diamonds from India into Ceylon in a inflated football tactfully left it in the hands of a playing child. Someone else thought it would be a "piece of cake" to hide pieces of gold itt cakes of soap—there is no end, in fact, to the ingenuity of.smug- glers. Ban on the transport of arrack, liquor distilled from rice and sugar, during the war led to many schemes for smuggling it past the barriers in the East. One night a car pulled up at a barrier. The occupants included two mourning women seated be- side a coffin. The guards, who had been tipped off earlier, ar- rested the occupants of the car and confiscated the coffin which was packed with bottles of arracks.

Shrimp Boat A'Comin' To Find Sunken Ship An attempt is being made this summer to find the remains of the Santa Maria, flagship of the tiny fleet of Columbus when, in 1492, he discovered the New World. It is believed by an American, Mr. Edwin A. Link, that the wreck of the Santa Maria lies deep beneath the waves on Lemonade - Reef, off the north of Haiti. He thinks the wooden hull will have disappeared after the lapse LOVELY DISH Serving up salad is 18 -year-old Donna Schurr, prettiest waitress in Cailfornia.

They would be priceless historic relics. A London firm is supplying important equipment for the search, it is reported. Mr. Link and his wife are both fully ex- perienced divers. In a converted shrimp boat fitted with 100,000 dollars' worth of electronic equipment, including an echo - sounder, they hope before the autumn to locate what remains of the Santa Maria. Six scientists and two natives from the British Bahamas are accompanying the expedition. t RecordPrice Offered For Royal Fiction _ When the heirs of Sir William Jenner, the Court physician, went through their family pa- pers recently they found valu- able letters from Queen Victoria, the Empress of Germany and other notabilities, which they decided to place in the sale- room. But as soon as our present Queen heard of their intention, she asked if she could see the letters with a view to buying them in. It would never de, royal ad- visers decided, for auction bids to be offered for the complaints of tummyache and other ail- ments that Queen Victoria sent to her doctor. In the Norman Tower at Wind- sor Castle are stored thousands of Ietters, diaries and other documents discreetly bought in over recent years. With royal journals a n d correspondence, Palace memoranda and even quaint albums of old-fashioned photographs, they form the Royal Archives, the best -guarded col- lection of family documents — and family secrets—in the world. Few people realize that nearly 'every scrap of paper that crosses the Queen's desk is carefully stored for posterity. If the Queen grants an audience or appoints a new bishop, a record of the occasion is carefully filed .away by the indefatigable Miss Mary Mackenzie, registrar of the arch- ives. Bound in strict chronologitial order are all the personal letters of the Royal Family. In labelled canvas boxes is the official cor- respondence. But equally impor- tant to future historians are everybody family trivialities - picture postcards that Princess Alexandra of Kent sent to her . uncle, George VI, from the sea- side; charming water.- colours that our present Queen painted in her teens; fashion sketches drawn by Princess Margaret. Only recently a New York publisher is said to have offered a quarter -million dollars for one of Princess Margaret's short stories. These were stories writ- ten for- amusement in her early girlhood, all with happy endings for the fairy-tale princess she was to become. A repeated theme was all about a -princess who lived in five castles but wanted to settle down to love in a cottage. The fee offered is a world re- cord—representing $30Q a word for a royal daydream — but, needless to say, none of Prin- cess Margaret's short stories is likely to be published in her life- time. These days she contents her- self with crosswords, recently winning Crossword 1266 in the magazine 'Country Life.' Even the correspondence offering her the prize of three guineas' worth of books is to be tucked away in the royal archives, Here, too, is a fairy play youth- fuIly written by our Queen and — a genuine literary treasure — the manuscript in the Queen's hand of- the "Account of the Coronation" which she wrote in 1937 for her own parents: "At 5 o'clock in the morning I was woken up by the band of the Royal Marines striking up just outside my window.

Every evening, too, no matter how tired she feels, the Queen unlocks her blue morocco -bound diary and enters up the day's events. With their set of gold keys, her father's own carefully writ- ten journals were only recently moved. to Windsor. On the shel- ves the bulky journals of George V, also, fill over twenty-five large volumes, The full run in- cludes a pocket engagement book he kept for three days as a boy. of thirteen and a final pathetic entry by Queen Mary: "My dearest husband was much distressed at the bad writing above and begged me to write his diary for him ..." Then there is the precious manuscript of Queen Victoria's "Journal of our Life in the High- lands" and of the sequel, "More Leaves from the Journals These two books were published in her lifetime. When Charles Dickens gave a set of his books to the Queen, she presented him with a set of hers! To -day they provide the start- ing precedent that our present Queen could write a book at any, time she wished and publish it to the world. Taking advantage of the rule, Victoria's grand -daughter, 82 - year -old Princess Marie Louise, is now writing her autobiog- raphy. The first tape recording made by a tiny Prince Charles; the exquisite guide - book of the route that the Queen kept on her lap when she drove to the Coronation; the Queen's own amateur movie record of her family—these are some of the many treasures stored up for the future in the royal archives. A selection of newspaper photographs is sent to Bucking- ham Palace each day and, of course, the Windsor hoard also includes a full run of the Court Circular. This terse and digni- fied chronicle of the, movements and engagements of the Royal Family dates back to 1794. Throughout this century it hast been published daily .and has been called the most' exclusive news -sheet in the world. On one occasion, it gave Fleet Street a surprise when it was issued with nothing but a six - word mention of one man. On January lst,'1937, Court gossips read with surprise • the brief announcement, "Mr, . Arthur. Penn has left Sandringham," But who was Mr. Arthur Penn —and why should he : enjoy. a Court Circular all to himself? Worried editors did not know, The great newspaper libraries of press clippings revealed only that Mr. Penn had been sum- moned for an alleged motoring infringement some five years. before -at his own request. And the case had been dismissed. But. Mr. Penn proved to be a middle - aged' City - bill - broker wha.had never married. He had enjoyed the friendship of ,the present Queen Mother ,since be- fore her marriage.- When she became Queen, "Arthur" was in- vited to Sandringham for Christ- mas -and the Court Circular was devoted to him as a truly royal gesture of friendship, Shy -Mr. Penn has never since appeared in print.

Originating from Swatow, a port on the China .coast, the agonized appeal was directed to Hong Kong, headquarters of II,M, R o y11.1 Naval China Squadron. From the commo- dore in command there a radio signal flashed, "Captain, H,M. cruiser Car- lisle,. Steamer Hong Moh re- ported ashore on Lamock Rocks, 40 miles east Swatow. Wrecked two days ago, Over 1,000 per- sons aboard. Proceed at once to assistance and report." The captain of the Carlisle was dressing for dinner as the knock sounded on his door. "Signal from . Commodore, sir," The captain read it and his mouth tightened. "Acknowl- edge this to Commodore," he said briefly, and as he spoke` pulled off his evening tie, , . The Carlisle' pitched into the storming sea' for a night -long run that brought her to the Lamrock Rocks by dawn. RM. sloop Foxglove was standing by, . From the cruiser's bridge the scene looked desolate enough to warrant every doubt that any man or wom:;1 could, still re- main alive • aboard the stricken I-Iong Moh, Her back was broken. Icer forepart held jammed in the ugly rocks, the afterpart sag- ging away and washed with every other wave of the grim grey waters. Yet human beings lived. on the wreck in spite of sixty hours' attack by the ,relentless sea. Their rescue was impera- tive. But ships' boats could not beat the breakers and none aboard the wreck seemed strong enough to catch and hold a line fired from sloop or cruiser. Over the side of the cruiser were p i t c he d two Carley floats—Naval life-saving rafts -- that swept with the tide to- wards the wreck. One was caught in a current to be thrown up on the rocks. Then the .tense watchers saw, as the other floated close to the Hong Moh, desperate figures . fling themselves on to it. Eight Chi, nese were hauled le safety. Cheered by .their first suc- cess, seamen were set to knock- ing up empty rum casks into makeshift rescue rafts, In turn these were sent afloat. Anxious eyes watched them -- and groans mingled with oaths as wind and waters caught the casks and carried them far from the castaways. Through the long day of try and try again the efforts of the men aboard Carlisle and Fox- glove saved seventeen more lives in twos and threes. Then the sloop had to make for port because her coal stocks were almost gone. "Wind's dropping, sir," said an officer — and the captain of Carlisle now ordered a motor launch to be made ready.. "You'll be in charge of her, Commander Tower. Take a cut- ter and a Carley ,float in tow." Masterly seamanship by Commander Tower brought his rescue fleet swinging in ,under the stern of the Hong Moh and as ropes and hands kept con- tact, the last Chinese left alive on that part of the wreck were saved. But there were still the luck- less survivors clinging to the forepart. The launch could not be manoeuvred near to them, Then all aboard launch and cutter gasped, One man was on his feet kicking off his sea boots — ridding himself of his ,coat — knotting a line. under his arms. Then he plunged in- to that storming sea. Instantly the tide -rip tore him to one side. Then as he swam against its pull he va- nished from the sight. sof the watchers. Ile surfaced again and forged slowly, f.troke by wearying stroke, towards the wrecked bulk on tha rocks. Twenty times in, every min- ute it seemed he would be sucked down and drowned or smashed against the granite crags. He was too far off .now from the launch for any tug on the line to jerk him free from in- stant peril. All held their breath until when it seemed the foolhardy hero was lost, an arm shot out of the waves, gained a grip on the wrecked forepart of the ship and the swimmer pulled himself up to the smash- ed deck. He drew in a stouter life -line and one by one sent the final survivors to safety in the se- curity of the motor -launch. Checking again that none re- mained alive aboard the Hone Moh, he leapt oft the deck and was himself hauled back to the waiting boat. Dusk was now falling and from the cruiser sprang the white shaft of a searchlight. The last look -round was made. Then peril pounced again. The racing engine of the launch suddenly seized, Imme- diately she and all her crew and the rescued were tossed helplessly in the rip and rush of the tides. A wave rushed her sideways •until it seemed all would smash against the rearing hull of the wrecked Hong Moh, A loose rope adrift from the wreck had caught in the launch's propeller shaft — spun tight — and made the craft as unmanageable' as a straw in a wind. And . now both rescuers as well as rescued were in even greater danger of drowning than at any moment before. The man who had swum to the wreck now slid once again over the side of the launch in- to the ice-cold sea and began grappling with twisted strands. The job had to be done under water. Time after time he rose gasping to the surface for a fresh lungful of ail' — then down again. Twenty times as the launch crashed against the wreck the man in the depths escaped be- ing .in as well as drowned only by a miracle. Yet even his gallaiAt strength' had to fail, Before the shaft was freed he had to be hauled back into the launch. But immediately Able Seaman Albert Whitehead went over to take on the task and as his hands numbed to un- feeling hooks he tore off .the final clogging coil. The motor coughed to life as his mates heaved him back to safety. The rescue was complete; 226 of the 1,100 lost souls of the Hong Moh had been saved. Yet the strangest part of the story was still to come. For when the captain's official re- port was written there was no mention of the naine of the he- roic swimmer, Admiral Bowden Smith, the •Commodore of the China Squadron, sent for the captain of Carlisle and questioned him. Eventually; he added to his re- port: "The man who swam to the Hong Moh and later helped to free the fouled shaft of the launch was Captain E. R. G. R. Evans," It was his own name he had written! • We know him better to -day as Admiral Lord -Mountevans, K,C,B., D.S,O,, LL,D. — who had already won, in 1917, fame as "Evans of the Broke" for his daring exploits.

Perhaps the lat- est innovation and one of the most effective according to the Dairy Division, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, is dry skin milk, This easily available, read- ily kept milk product ensures a fresh milk supply at all times whether in the city or camping in the wilderness. As a source of essential body nutrients it has few equals. * * * Dry skim milk is made from fresh whole milk from which the fat has been removed. The milk is dried by a low heat process and passed in a very fine spray under extremely high pressure through heated air. On contact with the hot air It turns to a fine powder which is pleasant tast- ing and odorless, This powder contains 35 per cent protein, 50 per cent milk sugar, and 8 per cent mineral, Vitamins essential to good health are also present in this milk food along with a small percentage of a ioisture and a trace of butterfat. * * •* Protein, one of the most im- portant body nutrient require- ments and one of• the most ex- pensive, is readily available in dry skim milk at a reasonable cost to the consumer. Through this animal . protein valuable amino acids are incorporated in- to the diet, These, acids- build and repair• muscles, blood cells and tissues, * * Considering the food value in dry skim milk it is not surpris- ing that the per capita consump- tion has doubled over the past ten years. Prior to 1950 it was used mainly in the manufacture DANCING DUO - Stesuko Ta- ,.tewaki (front), and isukiko Akashi, both 21, rest up after dancing practice in Tokyo.

The keeping quality of dry skim milk is one other attractive property, especially so to the housewife. This powder can be stored for several months with- out refrigeration or any, further processing or preservation. If placed in a moisture -proof jar or canister and set on the kitchen shelf there should be no excuse for protein deficiency in the fam- ily diet. • * All plants and certain plant products imported into " Canada must be inspected and released by the Plant Protection Division of the Canada Department of Agriculture before distribution is allowed. Every precaution must be taken to prevent the intro- duction into Canada of plant di- seases and insect pests through importations from foreign coun- tries, Close cooperation between the Plant Protection, Plant Path- ology and Entomology Divisions is responsible for the high stan- dard of service Canada has main- tained over the years. * * * Caution must be exercised at all times. For example, a ship- ment consisting of 6,600 tons of peanuts arrived in Montreal re- cently which is believed to be the. largest single importation of its kind, involving the equivalent of 250 car lots, The entire cargo was found to carry a medium in- festation of six species of stored products pests and fumigation was ordered at the expense of the importers. 'This involves treatment with methyl bromide by pest control operators under the supervision of the staff of the Plant Protection Division. * * * Total importations of nursery stock during 'the year ending March 31, 1955, were , slightly lower than during the previous -- fiscal year, as a report indicates a decrease of about fivemillion plants from the 110 million im- ported in 1953-54. Holland, Can- ada's main source for bulbs, was the leading expoeter of nursery stock to this country for the 1953-54 fiscal year, but the U.S.A. took over the lead in the -follow- ing year with a total of approx- imately 52.5 million, with Hol- land running a close second with over 50 million. Other compara- tively large exporters of nurs- ery stock to this country from a, total of 42 countries are Bel- gium, France, Germany and the British Isles.

But the final 'insulting touch was that Colonel General Victor Samsonovitch Abakumov was taken for his last walk in his underwear after his secret po- liceman's uniform with its fine cloth and cerise markings had been stripped off him. . The arch -spy who boasted he mile away and whose notorious • organization SMERSH ("Death to Spies") had slaughtered thou- sands of innocent people, had himself • met a spy's end. But the. machine which he built up so lovingly with his overlord Beria (shot a year earlier) is still there. Despite all reports and hopes to the con.. trary; it is as vicious and deadly an instrument of secret warfare as ever. Abakumov - according to the Abwehr (German intelligence) also master -minded the biggest single spy -ring of the war, the so-called "Die Rote Kapelle" - • the Red Choir, an octopus which stretched its tentdcles into every branch• of the. Germdn govern- ment from the Air Ministry to the Foreign Office. The headquarters of this spy net :were in occupied Brussels. Its members kept in touch with Moscow and each other through powerful short-wave radio sets until the Germans began to pin- point these installations. But the sinister fact remains that .despite the Gestapo's effi- ciency • and the headsman's axe (nearly four • hundred Red Choirists were executed) the leading spies were never caught, The Red Choir continues to op- erate in _ different countries al- though -though its original "conductor," Abakumov is 110 longer with it.

It was a contemptibly mean theft, but fortunately there, was a happy sequel. Sympathizers who heard about the theft were so incensed that 'they collected $100 and sent it to the rescuer. The man` very generously de- cided to spend the money on dog licences for people who could not afford them, Just how mean can some thieves be?
