L MEETING Responses to the roll call, "Familiar sounds you object to," brought forth a lot of laughs at the meeting of the Blyth Women's Institute held in the Memorial Ball, Thursday afternoon. A few of •the answers were, "Cats Bowling at night, Squeaking brakes, a snoring husband*, mosquitoes In the bedroom when trying to go to sleep these hot nights, the backfiring of a car during the night," ,The tentative date for a bus trip t') Sji"ringbank park, London, was set for August 1QIih, .A substantial donation was made to the limn County Scholarship Fund. ;The branch 'directors, Mrs. G.

Walpole, convener of Agriculture. and Canadian Industries, who chose as her theme, "An Everyday Commodity 'Salt'." Mrs. Walpole told of the use of salt by the people of the stone -age and the early Egyptians, and stated; "Canada is blessed by an abundance 'of salt in ahnost every province. In 1866 drilling for oil was started in Goderich by n Mr. Platt, but after dril- ling 867 feet, nothing was found but salt. -Mr, Platt was urged to drill to 1,000 feet but when he reached a depth of 964 -feet there was still no trace of Oil, just more salt. In 1872 there were 12 salt wells in operation in an arca of 3,000 square' miles, At one time sal- aries were paid in salt, hence the still familiar- expression, 'He Isn't' worth his salt.' We may use salt in 1400 dif- ferent ways, and the •manufacture of it has become so mechanized that no human hands ever touch it." Mrs, Walpole conducted a'most inter- esting contest on "How well d'o you know weeds" which was won by Mrs, C. Ladd. Mrs. L, Scrimgeour gave Current Ev- ents, OBITUARY WILLIAM ALEXANDER McCALL William Alexander McCall, an es- teemed and lifelong reslcjent of Morris Township passed away aT his home on the -Ninth Concession on Sunday, July 31st, 1955, The late Mr. McCall was born on February .8th, 1874, on the eighth con- cession of his native township, the eld- er son of the late George McCall and Sophia Small, In • 1905 he married Letitia MacArthur, also of the Ninth concession, following which he pur- chased his father-in-law's farm and lived there during the remainder of his life, His wife predeceased him 18 years ago, IIe was a member of Duff's United Church, Walton, • • Until the last year or so, Mr. McColl was a frequent visitor inBlyth, where he always called on friends, among whom the editor and staff of The Standard were privileged . to • be in- cluded.

Time really flies, and before you know it, it's August, which we usually choose for a spell of leisure. Likewise, holidays really fly, and all too quickly we find ourselves glue, once again to the old chair in front of the linotype, setting correspondence, ads, and. wracking our brain to dig up little items that might interest our subscribers. Some of the news in thi, issue was sent in by correspondents intended to be used last week. We hope it still interests our readers, Getting back to the holiday theme; WC all had a good rest. The only ex- citement was a night- spent at the Goderich Drive -In, and believe it or not, a couple of afternoon's spent at the Goderich golf course, chasing n white ball over the burnt grass. It was our first experience at this sport, and we believe we would have to be on a consistent holiday to stand up un- der the strain. Another townsman, Erank Elliott, who with his wife and family were also cottagers at Elliott's Grove, also enjoyed his first experi- ence on the links, along with son Doug who is an old hand at the game. For the most part though, we did exactly what we intended to do, sit and rest. With all the swinnning that is going on these days, we contem- plated swimming Lake Huron .a cou- ple of tines, but as ,we sat and gazed across the 60 -mile expanse of water,` we said to heck with It, anyway the water was too cold. We'll try swim- ming the Blyth creek first as a primer. So now, It's back to work with a vengeance, and happy we are -that we have work to do, and health to cope with it, Serious Injury Miraculously Averted What night have been a serious ac- cident occurred at the farm " of Jim Walsh about 11 a.m, on Saturday morning, • Mr, Albert Walsh, of Blyth, was as- sisting his son, Jim, to prepare a plow for the approaching fall plowing sea- son. The plow was a •3 -furrowed In- ternuhtional, and Mr, Walsh was lying underneath It, working on the centre plots when in some manner It acciden- tally tripped dropping with its full weight on Mr. Walsh's right cheek, He was held helpless until Jinn lifted the heuvy implement so that the could crawl out: to safety with nothing more than a badly scraped right cheek, Mr. Walsh considers himself most fortunate that his injuries are only ruiner, The third game of the playdown round which has currently been going on between Brussels and the Blyth Legionairres was postponed cn Tues- day night at the request of the Brus- sels team, and according » to -Manager Bert Gray of the Legionairres,'. who was in contact with n representative of the Brussels team Tuesday morning, there is some dodbt that Brussels will continue to play out the balance of the series. Bert agreed to wait until Friday of this week for Brussels to come to a decision, before going ahead with arrangement for further playoffs. During the past week the Legion- airres have met and defeated Brussels twice, first at Blyth when the scote was 19 to 11 in favour of Blyth, and again on the Brussels diamond when Blyth won 17 to 4. As the score would indicate, the Leg- ionairres showed superiority in every department in these two games, and Brussels probably feels that unless they can come up with a better effort, they might as well call , it quits, Fans should keep a probable Fri- day night game in mind, and if there is one, plan to be on hand. Our Leg- lonaires-•have piled up quite an en- viable win record, having only lost two games all season, Competition is bound to ger tougher as the playdowns advance, and your loyal support as fans will be all the more appreciated as the going gets rougher, .

They returned home after the pine, TABLE TALKS eine Andpews. One of the handsomest of vegetables is the solid, beauti- fully shaped, purple -black and Arm -skinned eggplant. Sadly, it is also one of the most neglected Of foods, In Israel, where eggplant of- ten takes the place of meat for a main course, these three re- cipes are favorites: Eggplant -Cheese Casserole 1 cup macaroni (elbow) . 1% pounds eggplant 1 green pepper and two onions (diced) 134 teaspoons salt 3/4 teaspoon pepper 1 No. 2 can tomato Wash the eggplant and slice 3/4.inch thick; saute in vegetable oil; then remove. Add the green pepper and diced onion, and saute until golden brown. Add salt, pepper, and tomatoes. Add thin layer of eggplant, half the macaroni, the rest of the egg- plant and the rest of the mac- aroni. Add 11 cups of boiling water. Cover and bake 45 min- utes in a hot oven, 425° F. Un- cover. Dust with 1/ cup grated Cheddar cheese. Top with 8 ounces creamed cottage cheese and grill until bubbly and pale gold. • * • Eggplant Fritters Boil whole eggplant, peel, and mash the pulp. Add a beaten egg, 3/4 cup enriched flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 3/4 tea- spoon salt and 1/4 cup milk. Drop by heaping tablespoons on a hot, oiled griddle. Fry like pan- cakes, turning once. • * * Eggplant Salad Broil a Pk pounds unpeeled eggplant under a low flame about 20 minutes, turning often. Remove the skin and mash the pulp. Add 11 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 11/4 table- spoons salad oil, and 1 table- spoon vinegar or lemon juice. Season to taste with garlic salt and onion salt. Serve cold on lettuce, for a salad that looks and tastes much like chopped chicken livers and is equally a gourmet's delight. Two eggplant dishes to com- bine with meat are easy and in- expensive, Your favorite meat loaf mix, put into a baking loaf pan in layers, alternated with thin layers of eggplant and served with mushroom sauce is excellent. SITTING DUCK — Ducks just don't build nests in trees. That's for the birds. But this duck, arrow, doesn't know that so she goes right on building in a tree in Greenville. Baked Eggplant with Sausage Wash and pare the eggplant and cut in slices about half inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dip in beaten egg and crumbs. Place in a greased, shallow baking dish. Spread each slice with about 1 table- spoon tomato puree. Add one onion that has been thinly sliced and, fried lightly in but- ter. Top each slice of eggplant with a mound of bulk sausage. For color, you may use a thin slice of pepper and two link sausages. Bake in a hot oven (400°) about 25 minutes. Makes 8 servings. * • • A very special company vege- table which may be prepared in advance and heated just before the guests arrive is this. Italian Casserole 1 medium eggplant 4 sliced fresh tomatoes 112 cup onion, finely diced 1/4 cup butter 2 tablespoons brown sugar V� cup buttered crumbs Wash and pare eggplant, cut into thin circles and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dip in flour or in egg and bread crumbs and brown on both sides in a small amount of butter. Arrange layers of eggplant and tomato slices in a greased casserole, sprinkle each layer with onion and butter, brown sugar, and some salt and pepper. Reserve some tomato slices to garnish the top. Sprinkle top with but- tered crumbs, Garnish with to- mato slices. Bake in a mederate. oven 40 to 45 minutes. Serves six. *1 * • Stuffed Eggplant 1 eggplant 1/ cup diced bacon 1 cup sliced mushrooms 1h cup finely chopped onion 1 cup bread crumbs V cup cucumber, chopped 2 tablespoons horseradish 35 cup ketchup or chili sauce 1 teaspoon salt 314 teaspoon pepper 34 cup buttered crumbs Wash eggplant and boil 10 minutes, Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp to make two shells about 1 inch thick. Re- serve pulp. Sprinkle shells with salt, Cook bacon slightly, add mushrooms and onion brown- ing about 10 minutes. Add bread crumbs, cucumber, horseradish, chili sauce, seasonings, and chop- ped eggplant pulp. (Doesn't it sound wonderful? It 1st) Fill the eggplant shells with the mixture, sprinkle with butter- ed crumbs; Place in a shallow baking dish containing a little water. Bake in a moderate oven about 35 minutes or until ten- der. For extra color appeal, black Olives may be added to the stuffing. A REAL DIFFERENCE Just before the balloting be- gan in the 1940 Republican Con- vention, the late Wendell Wil- kie sought to enlist the support of crusty delegate Jim Watson of Indiana. "Sorry, Wendell," snapped Watson, "but you're just not my kind of dependable, day -in -and -day -out Republican." "I am now," maintained. Mr. Wilkie, "though I admit I once. was a Democrat." "Once was?" snorted Watson, "Well, let me tell you what I think of con- verts. If a fancy woman • truly repented and wanted to join my church, I'd welcome her with open arms. I'd even lead her personally to the front pew. But by the eternal, I wouldn't ask her to lead the choir!" HE'LL HAVE TO BE QUICK—This`Conservation Department officer had better not waste any more time scratching his head over his department's new assignment—a census of the state's rab- bit population. While he's adding up totals, the bunnies, ex- perts at multiplication, may well have census takers outnumber- ed before they acquire enough data to determine new dates for the hunting season.

French author Andre Mau- rois, in a new life of "Alex- andre Dumas", says that Du- mas' father could do that when, as a dragoon, he became re- nowned for his Herculean ex- ploits. The son's Herculean exploits were in loving a formidable number of women, three of whom bore him children, and in writing a prodigious number of plays and novels, including "The Three Musketeers," "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Black Tulip." Brought up in the country at This, from the future King, was virtually an order, so the confirmed bachelor had to legi- timize a union with • Ida that was already nine years old. Dumas was a prodigy at love, as at literature. Over -generous, he was often in debt. "I have never refused money to anyone," he would say, "except to my creditors." Asked to contribute twenty francs towards the cost of a bailiff's funeral, he said: "Here are forty francs: Bury two!" Paid for newspaper serials by the line, he introduced a char- acter, Grimaud, the taciturn valet who replied only in mon- osyllables, One per line meant so much easier money! 'La Presse' and 'Le Steele,' however, ruled that a line, to count, must extend at least half- way across the column. The day this happened, a friend who found him striking - out. entire THIS GAME WASN'T HOT — The deck may cool off, but so will they. That's how these icemen feel while playing cards on a 300 -pound cake of ice. Ice even formed the chairs. Villers-Cotterets, young Dumas used to roam the woods with an old poacher, One day he resolved to go to Paris, see plays, meet famous authors, but he had no money. Very well, he would poach his way there with a gun. He did so, arrived with four hares, twelve par- tridges, two quails, and in ex- change for them got a lodging in a hotel for two days. Years later when he was be- coming famous he met Ida Fer- rier, an actress who had been ' given a small part in the play "Teresa" on which Dumas col- laborated. She was so moved, by the audience's appreciation that she threw herself grateful- ly into his arms, saying he had made her future. He took her out to supper, then to his home. She stayed fourteen years. He contracted cholera in the 1833 epidemic that swept Paris. One evening when he came in his cook, Catherine, said: "Oh, Sir! How pale you are!" He went to a mirror, I -Ie look- ed terrible. "That's funny," he _ said, "I'm cold." "Oh, sir!" cried Catherine. "That's how it always starts." Dumas went even paler. "We haven't a second to lose!" he cried. "Quick, a piece of sugar dipped in ether, then a doctor!" Feeling weak, he went to bed. Catherine, taking leave of her senses, brought him—instead of the piece of sugar—a wineglass full of ether. No longer know- ing what he was doing, he grab- bed it; drank it in a single gulp, then fainted. When he came to the doctor was at his side, and the cholera had vanished, Un- intentionally Catherine had dis- covered a remedy for the plague! One evening he took Ida to a reception at the palace of the Duke and Duchess of Orleans, She was eager to see the royal home, and Dutnas thought she would pass unnoticed. The Duke, however, sizing up the situation, welcomed them cor- dially, but as they were leaving said to Dumas: "It is, of course, understood that you could have presented only wife to me." - pages from a manuscript, asked: "What are you doing, Dumas?" "Killing Grimaud," he re- plied, "I made him up for short lines. Now he's worthless." For a sensational Act IV cur- tain to Dumas' play, "Antomy," actor Bocage had to stab the heroine, then throw his dagger at the feet of the husband who had burst in on them, saying coldly: "She resisted me. I mur- dered her!" In Rouen a stupid stage man- ager had the curtain dropped without waiting for this last line. Bocage, enraged, locked himself in his dressing -room. The audience, robbed of the famous ending, protested, Marie Dorval, the heroine, re -assumed her deathlike pose in the arm- chair, but still Bocage refused ,to return, though the .manager had raised the curtain, desper- ately hoping that he would, to complete the ending. The audience s h r i e k e d, threatened to wreck the bench- es, so realizing that something must be done, the "dead" wom- an sat up, resolutely marched down to the footlights, and 4e- clare : "Ladies and gentlemen, I resisted him, He murdered nye!" Then, with a deep curtesy, she made a queenly exit—to a roar of frenzied applause! Gertrude Lawrence And Her Canaries Gertrude returned from her Skylark tour in November of 1940. She was home only a few days when she—or rather we —acquired a canary all our own. It came in the form of a beleated wedding present from Woollcott. The canary's name, Woollcott advised his "Darling Amenda," was Franklin. Woollcott's admi- ration of our recently re-elected President was intense... The canary's name caused Gertrude some misgivings. If she was going to have a pet named for an important person- age, she preferred that the namesake be British... "All right, let's call him some- thing else," I said. "I don't sup- pose he knows his name." She studied the canary thoughtfully, "I don't think we can change his name," she said, "Look, Ri- chard. Who does he make you think of? Those very bright eyes. And that stiff, backward tilt of the head , .. Doesn't he appear to be looking through prince-nez down an elongated chin? . . "You'll just have to put up with the name, darling," she de- cided, "After all, he's your President." "And a good friend of your country," I reminded her . . . Until Gertrude called me to acknowledge the resemblance, it had never occurred to me that one canary was not an identical replica of every other. On my way to the office that morning, I found myself .stopping instinc- tively before a Sixth Avenue pet shop. A number of canaries fluttered appealingly in indi- vidual wicker cages in the win- dow. One, high up on the wall, caught and held my eye. He was a large, puffy bird. "Corpu- lent" was the word that .came to me. His round, small -beaked head was sunk between his shoulders. There was something dogged and aggressive about him which was heightened by a bald patch on the top of his head. If his beak had held a thick cigar .. . • I told the shop to deliver the bird to Gertrude. On the card I wrote: "Call me Winnie." From the moment of their in- troduction, Winnie and Frank- lin took to each other. They shared a large cage.. Winnie moved along the perch to one end (did my imagination de- ceive my eyes, or was there a nautical roll suggestive of a certain famous Former Naval Person?). With an unmistakable wink, he invited Franklin to hop up on the other end. This Frank- lin did immediately, with his accustomed self-assurance. There the two chirped and chuckled to each other, sang duets and occasionally solo serenades, one pouring out his song,. to which the other listened attentively and courteously, with head cocked. — From "Gertrude Law- rence as Mrs, A.," by Richard Stoddard Aldrich.

Probing Secrets Of Human Brains Scientists are going to ex- amine the brain of Professor Albert Einstein, originator of the Theory of Relativity, who died recently, They are trying to learn something about one of the greatest intellects of our day and will seek to add to the store of knowledge which medi- cal research is steadily building up concerning the human brain. Examination of the brain is a regular feature of post-mor- tems, Where, in a case of sud- den death, the cause of death is doubtful, changes in the brain may indicate cerebral injury even when there is little out- ward sign, Death may be due to certain types of asphyxia or to alcoholism, or the effect of other types of poisons which af- fect the cerebral system. An injury to the brain may alter a person's whole outlook on life. Men have been known to recover from terrible injuries to the front of the lirain and to be more cheerful, even full of pranks. Researth in this direc- tion has led to the evolution of an operation on the brain which has benefited the inmates Of mental institutions to such an extent that they have been able to return to useful work, Some strange effects have resulted from injury to the brain. Professor Gross mentions a murder that occurred in Ba- varia in 1893 when the wife Of a schoolmaster named Brunner was mortally wounded and two of his children killed. Brunner was suspected to be the mur- derer. When the wife recovered consciousness she was question- ed, but was unable to say who had attacked her. When her statement was prepared she signed it `Martha Guttenber- ger" instead of "Martha Brun- ner." Inquiry showed that Gutten- berger was not her maiden name, but the name of her for- mer sweetheart. The police went after this man, arrested him and he con- fessed.

TI1LFAN FROT 61211=11 While it deals only inciden- tally with agriculture, I thought that the following article was well worth — well — stealing. The author, Bruce Ilutchinson, Is a well-known Canadian writ- er; but as it was written for The Chrisstian Science Monitor published in Boston, it is almost like seeing a view of one's own house as it appears to alien, al- beit friendly, eyes. * * After a winter of unnecessary mental depression the mood of Canada has turned suddenly buoyant this summer, from the government at Ottawa to the villages of the hinterland. The alarms of last spring have evaporated, and so has the un- employment problem which caused them. A nation little given to tempermental humors is filled with a new optimism and quiet confidence in its fu- ture, * * * Latest statistics largely con- firm this change in Canada's thinking. Unemployment, which daunted federal and provincial governments a few months ago, fell during June to the lowest point since November, 1953, and left only 157,000 Canadians seeking work — less than 3 per . cent of a labor force now reck- oned at a new peak of 5,615,000. Ottawa always believed that the unemployment problem was exaggerated by provincial gov- ernments and municipalities but it has been candidly surprised by the rapid recovery from last winter's slackness. * * * In its spring budget the fed- eral government seemed to go far out on the limb of prophecy to base its fiscal planning on a record annual production, C. D. Howe, Minister of Defense Pro- duction and the government's top planner, tells Parliament that the budgetary expectations are being made good, This, he says, will be the most prosper- - ous year in Canadian history. Agriculture was ,regarded as the major soft spot in the year's prospects. The worst spring weather in the farmer's mem- ory, from one coast to the other,. delayed' all planting and flooded millions of acres of fertile land, But Mr. Howe expects a bum- percrop despite these difficulties. And capital investment of all sorts should reach a new peak. Nevertheless, the harsh Cana- dian climate assures at least temporary unemployment in the winter months when many basic industries must curtail their op- erations, This seasonal problem, along with others, will be con - GRIEF — That's the name for this sculpture. It's done in plas- ter by Maurice Glickman and was on display at the 17th Annual Exhibition of the Sculp- tors Guild. sidered at a conference between the federal and provincial gov- ernments in October. * * * Last spring all the 11 gov- ernments were thinking in short -run terms when unem- ployment, abnormal even for the slack season, stubbornly persisted in most provinces. The, autumn conference will think in long -run terms oi methods to counteract the climatic cycle by better timing of capital works, * * * The federal government has been intensively studying the possibility of coordinated con- struction planning by national, provincial, and municipal au- thorities and by private . indus- try, Such a policy cannot be worked out in a hurry; but in the meantime Ottawa has raised its sights on the nation's future. In its late§t economic assess- ment the government looks for- ward to a large and quick growth in the Canadian popula- tion and hence to a correspond- ing growth in necessary public services. * * * This will involve capital in- vestment by the state on an un- precedented scale, not mainly to relieve temporary unemploy- ment but to nourish an expand- ing economy. The government is reported to be willing, if necessary, to reverse the debt - reduction policies of recent years and borrow money for these purposes, The autumn conference will find the govern- ment's thoughts greatly changed since the spring. * * * The new spirit of optimism in Ottawa coincides with a new stability inside the cabinet. For the last year the cabinet had been unable to disguise its secret uncertainty about its own future when Prime Minister Louis St, Laurent seemed bent on early retirement. Moreover, • sharp disagree- ments on certain high policies became well known to the pub- . lic, painful friction developed between Mr. St, Laurent and Mr, Howe, his chief lieutenant, and recently the government was compelled to beat a hasty retreat before an opposition fili- buster when it sought emergen- cy defense powers that Parlia- ment obviously was unwilling to grant, * * This period of uncertainty seems to have passed with Mr. St, Laurent's announcement that he will not retire until af- ter another election and Mr. Howe's agreement to postpone his intended retirement indefin- itely, The ,coalition represented by a French Canadian from Quebec and an English-speak- ing Canadian from the key prov- ince of Ontario thus will con- tinue, at least until the poll of 1957, and therefore can plan some years ahead, Its planning will certainly be for a nation in continued and massive ex- pansion, xpansion, • BALANCED MEAL Old Colonel Archer, up from Kentucky, was describing his daily routine to a delighted group in Toots Shor's New York restaurant.

While the outlook for life on Venus can hardly be character- ized as bright, perhaps it is not quite so hopeless as modern ob- servations would lead us to be- lieve. The negative results for oxygen and water vapor mean only that these gases cannot be detected by the spectograph at the depth to which we can pene- trate into the atmosphere. If the white, reflecting layer con- sists of cirrus . clouds, the am - out of water vapor above them may be very small, 'since cirrus is formed at a great height, where the temperature is so low that the clouds consist most- • ly of ice particles, Water, in the form of liquid or ice, would not show in the spectrum of Venus, ' since the spectograph can de- tect water only in the gaseous state, Hence it is possible that water may be on Venus but in such minute amounts at a high level as to be unobservable— - Measures Measures made by the late Ber- nard Lyot on the quality of the light reflected from Venus at different phases have been in- terpreted by him as' due to wat- er droplets, but the evidence is not conclusive. It is extremely puzzling that this planet, which is at about the same distance from the sun as the earth and which resembles it so closely in size and mass, could have failed to develop extensive oceans on its surface , , . Although no one has ever seen the surface of Venus, it is prob. ably about as rough as the sur- face of the earth, Schiaparelli noted bright spots on the disk flanked by deep shadows, and these visual observations have been confirmed by Ross's photo- graphs. The most natural ex- planation is that the markings are caused by the flow of air over the uneven ground below. The bright spots are clouds rais- ed to great elevations, and the dark spots are caused by the. destruction of the clouds clue to descending currents. Other, as- tronomers have also reported bright spots, which they ascrib- ed to high mountains, Scbroter, who seems to have been an ex- pert at spotting high mountains, observed what he believed was a range towering forty miles high, protruding above ' the clouds. About 1880 Trouvelot, the astronomical artist, observed some bright spots which led him to express his conception of the surface as being "like a confus- ed mass of luminous points, sep- arated by comparatively sombre intervening spaces, This surface is undoubtedly very broken; and resembles that of a mountain- ous district studded with nu- merous ice - needles brilliantly reflecting the sunshine." This persistent mention of a great mountain at the pole of Venus reminds- us of the , old map Poe described in the "Ms, .Found in a Bottle," on which the' pole was represented by a black • rock towering to a Prodi- giours height But this is poetry, and fancy, and .if you dislike such a picture of the planet, you are welcome to dream up a lush, tropical world filled with as many flow- ers and dinosaurs as you like.

While seeing something they had not expected, they are, nonetheless, watching a phenomenon that has occurred sporadically since prehistoric times. The spectacle is venerable Mt. Etna spouting up again; the first time since a minor erup- tion in 1950, There is no fear of a major eruption, say volcan- ologists at the observatory near the summit, Flames and lava have been shooting up to 600 feet high and at night tourists and Sicilians are awed by the natural fire- works in a crater formed 44 years ago. The exact number of erup- tions (some accompanied by earthquakes) is not known. Legend states that the first "overflow of lava was around 1226 B.C. But the first record- ed eruption was about 525 B.C., in the time of Pythagoras, The height of mighty Etna varies, depending on the source of information. However, the official publicity of Ente Pro- vincial° per it Turismo at Ca- tania puts the altitude at 10,702 feet, Etna is the highest, most active volcano in Europe. Though it is virtually always emitting smoke from its huge crater, the uppermost slopes are snow-capped for eight months of the year. Some adventuresome tourists ski on the lofty heights in the winter; then motor down to Mazzaro Beach, below Taor- mina, to swim in the warm Ionian Sea, Caves in the upper parts of the mountain are used to store snow which is sold during the summer at Catania and elsewhere, "But Etna with her voice of fear in weltering chaos thun- ders near," wrote Virgil in de- scribing destruction wrought by volcanic outbursts down • the centuries. With destruction, Etna has brought rich fertility with the lava that has spread like a hig-priced loam. Mt. Etna covers a total of 460 square miles and measures 91 miles around the base which is encircled by a railway. Tourists ars fascinated by the size and height whether they see the volcano by train or by air. The name "Etna" is derived from the Phoenician, "athana," meaning "furnace," Sicilians call it "Mongiballo", which a combination of the Italian t'monte" and the Arabic "gibe]" dating back to the Saracen oc- cupation of the island when the volcano was known as "Gibel Uttamat," or' "mountain of fire," References have been made to Etna in the writings of sages of the ages, including Aristotle, Ovid, Livy,, Seneca, Virgil, Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. Among the most violent and disastrous eruptions and earth- quakes were those in 1169, 1669, and 1603 when towns were buried and Catania ' suffered - much . destruction. Despite the havoc caused down the, cen- turies, the area around 'Etna has the greatest density of popu- lation in crowded Sicily, There are 3,200 persons a square• mile in Catania, Acireale, Nicolosi, and 62 other tons., Mt. Etna typifies the warmth, theuncer- tainty, the exuberance, the somberness of the Sicilians. Awe-inspiring thoughts of the majesty of this volcano can be conjured up by looking up to it from Taormina or Catania during the early morning. As the rising sun comes up, a rusty color pervades the slopes, When the suer goes higher, the air be- comes hotter and a mist engulfs the upper mountainsides, caus- ing the summit to disappear for hours at times. Because We soil is extremely fertile, bumper crops are har- vested, principal products being grapes, olives, nuts, lemons, figs, and other fruits. The low- est region is known as the "cul- tivated zone." As one ascends a couple thousand feet, a visitor comes into the belt known u the "woody" or forest region. The "desert zone" is from 6,300 feet to the summit. It takes about seven to eight hours to ascend to the summit from Nicolosi, Most tourists who decide to go up Mongibello usually complete their motor- ized trek at a hotel -restaurant about midway up the mountain. From a dining table, they are privileged with a splendid view of many miles, especially inter- esting at sundown, Find Pre -Historic Animal's Skeleton Paleontologists from the Uni- versity of Oregon and eastern socleties are busy under the mid- summer sun removing from the central Oregon desert the re- mains of one of the most impor- tant Pacific Northwest scientific discoveries in many years. The "gold" they are mining is the skeleton of a brontothere, or thunderbeast, an enormous rhinoceros - like creature that roamed the shores of the inland sea some 60 million years ago. None has ever before been found west of the Rocky Mountains in North America, The discovery is not a new one, The first fossils were un- earthed a year ago by Alozo W. Hancock, a retired Portland mailman who for a decade has searched the rich fossil beds of the Oregon plateau. So impor- tant was his find that word of it was confined .to a few scientific expeditions. An influx of curi- osity seekers was feared. Now the digging has progressed to a point assuring success. The com- plete fossil is expected to be un- covered by September. Directing the digging is 'Dr. J. Arnold Shotwell, curator of the Univer- sity of Oregon Museum of Nat- ural History, The diggers' desire for privacy is aided by the weather and the location. The summer sun often raises temperatures to 110 de- grees and higher. Only vegeta- tion available for shade consists of a few tiny juniper trees and sagebrush. The fossil beds — known as the Clarno beds, where many other important discoveries have been made — are some 200 miles east and south of Portland and remote from any well -travelled high- way. The brontothere is the most celebrated find currently of in terest in the Clarno beds, but other skeletons, too, are being brought this summer from their gravelly graves alongside the brontothere. These are: An amynodon, the largest rhonoceros ever found, stand- ing 8 feet tall and 14 feet in length. The brontothere, al- though resembling a rhinoceros, is not truly of that family. It was larger than the amynodon and had a horned protuberance above its snout, A creodont, the largest tiger the world has ever known, a huge carnivorous cat whose head was about 13 niches wide and 18 inches long. An epihippus, a horse, 18 inches tall believed to have been one of the fleetest of animals.

Romans 14:21, Daniel was among the earli- est group of captives taken by Nebauchadnezzar from Jerusa- lem to Babylon. He and his three companions were chosen for special training, They were appointed a daily portion of the king's meat and of the wine which he drank. They declined these in favor of simple food and were the better for it, Daniel's interpretation of the king's dreams led him to e place of high influence in the kingdom. Always he remained true to the teachings of his youth. He continued his pray- ing threee times a day even though it le to i ei dbhgyyntOs though it led to his being thrown into a den of hungry ions, The printed portion of the lesson describes a scene in the reign of Belteshazzar when Dan- iel was advanced in years. It was a night of high revelry. The king and a thousand of his lords feasted and drank wine. But they wanted a new thrill. The king sent for the golden vessels which had been taken out of the temple of the house of God at Jerusalem. They drank wine from these and praised the gods of gold, silver, brass, iron, wood and stone.

And this saving is passed on to you in the form of more value, and inor'e features for the money than you can get with any other car on the market.

WHEN PLANNING YOUR BREEDING PROGRAM, CONSIDER: • 1. The low cost of getting your cows bred artificially. Life membership $5.00 (not payable each year). $5.00 per cow for members. $6.00 per'cpw for non-members. 2. The money making qualities of your calves will be better than average. This will amount to more than the total cost of Ar- tificial Breeding, Dairy or Beef cattle. 3. Co)vn will get in calf the same as with natural breeding and ir'! in any cases, better and there is no danger of spreading disease. 4. The FEED and SPACE used by a potentially dangerous bull can be utilized for OTILER PURPOSES. 5. Many herds have had the sante cows bred artificially for several years as well as up to four or five generations. THE RU1"0URS one hears that cows will not conceive artificially year after year and that artificially sired heifers will not conceive when bred artificially, have no foundation. For service or more information, phone the WaterlooNCattle Breeding Association at Clinton 515 (Note our new number) between 7:30 and 10:00 a.m. week days, 7:30 and 9:30 a.m. Sundays and Holidays. *++♦++++-++N +4+++++++++++ -• LLASIIMAR -•- r(as,s DRIVE•IN `1 , THEATRE IP) —CI.iNTON— (Next to Clinton Community Park) Open at 7:30 p.m, —FIRST SHOW AT DUSK— THURS., FIti, AUG, 18 - 19 — DOUBLE F1:ATUIIE — "REI) PONY" (Color) ROBERT MITCHIJM - 5IYRNA L01' "PRIDE OF MARYLAND" FRANKIE 11ARR0 PEGG Y STEWART SAT„ i110N, AUG. 20 - 22 "THUJNI)ER OVER THE PLAINS" (Color) RANDOLI'H SCOTT mak.

Young Capitalist A front page story in Bell News, house organ of the Bell Telephone Company of Canada, tells of Normand du Berger of Montreal, a handsome five-year- old boy, who is one of the own- ers of the company. Narmand has been investing his baby bonus cheques in Bell stock since he was nine months old and now is the owner of five , shares. Normand is to be congratulat- ed on his financial acumen, al- though advocates of the baby bonus would be unlikely to maintain that his investment programme is in accordance with the basic idea of the monthly handout. If he continues invest- ing in Bell stock during the years he is. eligible for the bonus, and if the company is still paying dividends at the current rate, he will find, when he becomes a direct taxpayer, that his Bell dividends will then pay a sub- stantial fraction of his contribu- tion towards baby bonuses and old -age pensions for other peo- ple.

Queen of Britain's Lonliest Isle They call her the Queen of Gugh. the fishermen and seafarers who sometimes rrieet smiling Gwendoline Bond, the woman who lives alone on Brij-- tain's loneliest island. More than twenty years ago Gwen came to Gugh as a young girl and fell in love with this tiny outpost of the Scillies. Now she tends her 100 chickens, grows flowers to sell on the. mainland and never wants to return to roaring civilization. The sea pounds the shores of Gugh Island with a terrifying noise, but Gwen finds it peace- ful. Myxomatosis has not reached the rabbits of Gugh. She shoots them for the pot to keep down their numbers, but ffnds them good company. For amusement Gwen has her battery radio, her books and a woodworking bench. These `Robinson Cruso types have been increasingly in the news of late. Only the other day a New Zealand rescue 'plane took off from Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands, to drop food and supplies to a yachtsman cast- away. stranded among the coco- nut palms of little Palmerston Island. Victor Clark set out from Eng- land two years ago to sail his nine -ton ketch round the world. Longing for the adventure, he was in his mid -forties and he told his friends: "If I don't do it now, I never shall." 411 went well for a year. Then his twenty -five-year-old ship, the Solace, was wrecked in a storm on the reefs of Palmer- ston. For four months Clark and his bosun lived happily on wild bananas, fish and their remain- ing provisions until their Man Friday, a native from another island, was able to get a mes- sage to Rarotonga. But their ordeal was tough compared with the luxurious life that another Pacific Ocean , "Crusoe" found on the unin- habited: isle of Palmyra. During the war the. Americans used this as a military base, 'and . when hostilities ceased it was cheaper to leave their equipment . be- hind than move it away. So twenty -four-year-old Ni- , kite Astafieff found tons of tin- ned food, including chicken and fruit salad, and there were plenty of tin openers. There were stacks of dehydrated vege- tables, sackfuls of tobacco — and he even found gramophones and records to give him entertain- ment. He Lived in a luxuriously fur- nished bungalow and slept be- tween linen sheets. The laundry was a problem—until Nikita found a dump of modern wash- ing machines. All he had to do was plug 'one into a diesel power plant. To help explore his paradise there were hundreds of jeeps and other vehicles with free petrol for the taking. He found that with a little repair work he could even switch on all the island lights and drive happily at night along the illuminated roads. But maybe Nikita found his one-man life lonely. After four- teen months he radioed for a rescue ship -and stepped ashore happily at Wellington, New Zea- land. Sew -Thrifty 4566 14'/2.24 vs MQ4/A4,t f HALF -SIZERS!

Qvery ohne P Clerks Although I have been back in Canada for nearly three weeks I find there are many questions to which people would like the answers. So 1 am referring to my notes taken along the way for that information. First comes the question , . . "how about flying . . . were you nervous?" Well, as a rapid means of transit flying is excellent. On a long distance tourist flight it is also tiring. The seats are com- fortable and adjustable but sitting up for approximately eighteen hours with nothing to look at except a floor of billowy white clouds naturally becomes a little wearisome. This should be expected. Everything is done to make the flight as little tiring as possible; the meals and serv- ice couldn't be better. "Nervous?" you ask. Not in the least. I be- lieve most people, once they set foot on a plane are possessed with a sense of security. And why not? I haven't gone , into statistics but I would imagine the proportion of air accidents is far less than those on the road. Naturally hitting an air - pocket once in awhile gives you a bit of a jolt and some people experience a feeling of ear dis- comfort when coming in for a landing. Then, too, a lot depends on the weather. If the weather is rough the going is liable to be a bit choppy, One thing I would like to mention . , our flight from Montreal to Prestwick was — at least to me — quite a unique experience. We practically es- caped the night! We took to the air at Val Dor just about sun- set. Sunset was followed by dim light until we touched, down at Gander, From Gander the sky gradually took on a pinkish glow which, after several hours, was succeeded by the actual sunrise, No real darkness at all. Coming back the trip from London to Montreal was very different. A clear, s till night but quite dark. I thought the night would never end. One of the navigators told me it was because the plane back had followed a different route — from London to Shannon Air- port and thence to Gander and Montreal. It is only on the northern route travellers escape the hours of darkness. The next question generally concerns differences between England and Canada. Commer- cially I found little difference. Very often I hardly knew whether I was in London or Toronto. The same type of stores — although stores and merchan- dise often go under a different name. In England a shortie, coat becomes a "jigger"; a hard- ware store is an "Ironmonger's"; order coffee and you are asked if you prefer "black or' white". White is half coffee and half hot milk. In most, towns all the stores close for the lunch hour — from one to two -fifteen and at six o'clock every night. None of the `places , where -1 visited had a late shopping'"night, On Saturdays most stores remain open until six exceptin the larger centres where they close at noon. If you were visiting in Eng- land.you would soon notice that drugstores are known as "chem- ists' shops" and sell only patent medicines, toilet preparations, and cosmetics — and of course there is always a dispensary where prescriptions are filled. s But you definitely cannot buy notepaper, books, magazines or ice cream from a chemist's shop, Unless you visit one of the larger stores owned by "Boots' Cash Chemists" which varies little from our Canadian drug stores. Except for Boots if you want anything from a postcard to a magazine you go to a "sta- tioner's shop". Tobacco you buy from a tobacconists. Of course, every Canadian and American visitor thinks the British motorist drives on the wrong side of the road — over there the left side is the right side. This custom dates back to medieval times when the chief means of getting around was on horseback, often through for- ests where unwary .travellers were liable to be set upon by robbers and vandals. For this reason the rider always carried weapons of defence and rode on the left side of the road leav- ing his sword -arm free — his right arm — 'in case of attack. Some of the present day cus- toms . are quaint but practical. For instance a mother with a baby wants to go to the nearest town to shop. She takes baby in his pram to the local railway station. Here mother, with the baby in his pram, makes the short journey in the guard's van of the train. At one station I saw three mothers travelling this way. Racing pigeons do a lot of travelling by 'train. They are banded, shipped in crates to a given destination, where they are let loose to wing their way home. Speaking of railway s, the schedule is excellent and so far as I could judge during a short visit, invariably on time. How- ever, I must admit the trains could certainly do with a little housecleaning. And then we come to restau- rants. It is surprising the num. ber of milk bars and restaurants that close early in the evening and all day Sunday. To find a place to eat after six you have to know your way around. Of course hotels always serve meals at regular hours so there is no need for visitors to go hungry - or to walk a long distance, as I did, to find a place to eat shortly after eight o'clock at night!

A REAL COME -BACK No story touches the heart or lifts the spirit as does the story of the man who comes back from oblivion to make good again. And this is such a tale. It began many years ago on a farm. There, on that farm, lived a healthy, handsome youngster, From an early age he showed a keen aptitude for sports. When he was only a boy of nine, his father gave him a Texas cow pony, Soon he became an expert horseman, galloping the spirited cow pony around the country- side as if he had been born to the saddle, That farm boy was an all-around American he -boy, He fished, he hunted, he swam, and he could expertly handle all kinds of small boats, One day he became interested in baseball. With the vigor and ' enthusiasm of a born athlete, he began to play- the game. At first, the boys of the town team wouldn't let him play with them, They didn't think he was good enough, But one day that boy proved the kind of ball- player he was, He was playing the third base for the town team, In the seventh inning, he dove into the dirt for a scorch- ing ground ball, came up with it, and nipped the runner at first. For the two remaining in- nings, his teammates didn't no- tice that every time the boy had to move, he winced with pain. Only after the game was over did they find out that he had continued to play with a badly injured hand, and without a whimper 1 At prep school he was to dis- tinguish himself in all sports as a fine athlete. He played foot- ball, baseball, rowed and ran cross-country. But he excelled at track. One day he showed up for an important meet, sick. The coach refused to permit him to enter the events, But the boy pleaded with his coach, who fi- nally relented. And the boy established a record for the high kick, with a jump of eight feet, six inches. The high kick was a regular event in track and field events back in the '90's, But his ability in sports went even further and took him to strange lands. He went to Eu- rope and became a bicycle speed rider. He toured, on wheels, through Switzerland, France CLAIM . TO FAME Eighty -six- year-old Chilo Grant claims he has one of the most impressive mustaches on all the King's Royal Rifles. The old soldier from Winchester, England, be- gan his military career in 1892 and left a year's retirement in 1914 to fight through World Wart , and Germany, One day, while riding his bicycle in Germany, he was arrested four times! Once It was for speeding, a sec. and time for running over a goose on a village street, a third time for picking cherries from trees along the highway, and the fourth time for cycling into Strassburg. There he was brought to a sudden halt by an armed guard and placed under arrest for trying ,to enter a fortified city of the Reich, A squad of soldiers escorted him to the of - !icer of the guard. A strange scene took place, prophetic in its implications. For, after the commanding officer had threa- tened the boy with dire punish - men, the American youngster, enraged and furious instead of frightened, turned upon the German officer and shottted, "What kind of a country is this'I A man has absolutely no free. dom to do anything, All these stupid restrictions and pompous laws; It's about time you Ger- mans learned something about freedom!" So he left Germany and re- turned to America to go to col- lege. He had set his heart on playing football, but, although he did make the squad, he was too light for the varsity. One day the coach took the boy aside and advised him to quit foot- ball, "Look her.^., son," he said kindly, "I've been watching you ever since the season began. I've admired your spunk and cour- age, coming out the way you do every day and playing against men twice your size, You're too frail for varsity football, Why don't you try tennis?" The boy thanked him courte- ously, took his advice, and went out for tennis, And, before he was through, he was the best tennis player in school! Even after college he contin- ued with sports. Still a robust example of superb manhood, he became a deep-sea fisherman and an expert seaman, sailing his boat through dangerous waters. One morning he set out in a sailboat for a day's fishing. He was at Campobello Island, off the coast of Maine, He had hardly cast his line in the water when he suddenly noticed smoke rising from the pine woods on the mainland. Hastily he hoisted sail and went to investigate. He found a small forest fire which was spreading rapidly. He raised the alarm at once, summoned some farmers, 'and led them against the raging fire. For sev- eral gruelling hours, he was in the forefront of the struggle,, Finally it was brought under control. Worn and weary, he turned to go home. First, however, he decided to go for a swim. With- out a moment's hesitation, he$ dove into the icy water of the Bay of Fundy. He awoke the next morning ill. He couldn't move his legs, Doctors and specialists were summoned ' to examinehim. And they . gave him the 'tragic news. He had become a victim of infantile paralysis. He would never be able to move again, to stand, to walk. For the rest of his life, he' was to remain a helpless, useless wreck of a man. So believed the doctors, and so believed the world. The only one who refused' to believe it was the patient. He did not give up so easily. This man who once had played football, baseball, ANYBODY HOME ? - Jack 'Seifert looks for Thomas O'Neil hidden under his fur -lined hood.

HOW TO "IMPEACH" A GOVERNOR — National Peach Queen Nancy Marsteller, "impeaches" Pennsylvania's Gov. George leader. The ceremonies were a toothsome send-off for the states annual Peach Week, who had once broken a track record, been an expert horse- man, swimmer and hunter, ten- nis champion and bicycle speed rider was determined that he would come back, And he did come back—all the way back. He came back to rise to the greatest heights any American has achieved in the history of our country, and in all this world, For this sportsman who came back to fight and win the greatest battle any man ever fought, a battle against a life of sickness and oblivion, went on to become elected the Presi- dent of the United States, not once, but four times! His name was — Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Anyone Is Liable To Find Uranium When you read of a uranium strike or a new oil field, do you get the urge to leave the little woman and kids and rush off in search of fame and fortune? Being a practical man, you can't turn prospector at the drop of a hat, but you can become 'a "rockhound" and take the fa- mily adventuring with you. "What's a 'rockhound'?" you ask. In more dignified language, just an amateur mineralogist, for rocks are mixtures of min- erals. The hobby of rock hunting is growing in popularity in Canada, and well it might, for this coun- try has rocks and Rocks and ROCKS galore. Bob Ford, a bacteriologist liv- ing in a Toronto suburb,. is an enthusiastic rockhound who gets year round fun from this hobby. Bob's interest in jewellery - making led him into the field of mineralogy. Wishing to make his silver and copper pins and earrings a little more elaborate, he went to the Royal Ontario Museum to enquire about ob- taining gemstones, There, they told him about the "Walker Club", a mineralogical club whose only membership quali- fication is interest in rocks. Bob joined, and another rockhound was born! In his own basement, from rocks collected within 200 miles of his home, Bob produces - polished stones in' every color of the rainbow, and they. vary from •the size of a pea, to 'that of a 50 -cent piece. He specializes in making coffee spoons, the handles set with tiny gems, He also makes 'attr'active jewellery of his own design — all with the homemade equipment cost- ing less than $75. In his hobbyroom adjoining . the workshop, Bob has built a fireplace from some of his rocks, many of them fluorescent, It makes him laugh to turn an ultra -violet light on these and watch the amazement in the faces of his visitors who see 'apparently dull rocks spring to ',life' in a sunset of rich glowing colors. You, too, can have as much fun out of rock hunting as Bob Ford' and his family, but before ,you really decide to "go on the rocks", there's a little spade work to be done not the back- breaking kind - that comes later!), If possible, visit the nearest museum of mineralogy, and note the names and locale of, the va- . rious specimens. If you cannot visit a museum, you can obtain an inexpensive collection of minerals from the Department of Mines and Resources at Ottawa., Maps charting mineral de- posits in accessible areas may be purchased at low cost from - the Department of Mines in your own province. These are as necessary to a rockhound ns a road map is to a motorist, You probably have most of the equipment for the hunt in your own cellar -- a hammer, a cold chisel, a sledge hammer for the "tough" rocks, newspapers in which to wrap , and protect your specimens, and basket or box containers, Don't hesitate to take the family, It was a 14 - year -old boy who found the largest known crystal of urani- nite, now on display in Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum. The reference book, a Field Guide to Rock and Minerals, by Frederick H. Pough, is the rock - hound's Bible. Take it with you on your field trips to help you identify your find immediately. Where to begin the search? Any place where rock has been broken up — mine dumps, quar- ries, excavations, etc. And, say, here's a shopper's note for the outdoorsman: pock- et -sized Geiger counters are now available at many department and sporting goods stores. Take one along. You're liable to stum- ble upon some uranium! Try your luck, This hobby has all the elements of a treasure hunt, Don't let the pyrite de- ceive you, though; it's common- ly called Fool's Gold!

Locusts Lured To Death ley Whistles The Pied Piper of 1955 uses an electronic whistle.instead of a tin flute. He lures millions of locusts to their doom (instead of rats), Dr, Rene Guy Busnel is the Pidd Piper who will set out this summer to destroy the locusts which invade France's North African territories. Dr. Busnel will sound his whistle in desolate areas and the locusts will be attacked with flamethrowers. The whistle is said to act as a magnet for .locusts, and Dr, Busnel has been experimenting with va- rious whistles for the past seven years. The scientist began to work on the insects' sense of hearing after he discovered that . their sense of smell and sight are bad and that they are blind to ob- jects more than a few inches May. Put Color To Work Color affects us more than we think, Perhaps this explains why we so often "feel blue" or "turn green with envy". Psychological effects of color are being .studied more and more by "color experts", Their job is to find out why factory workers suffer fatigue and people in well. heated offices complain of being cold, A color expert may recom • mend that the stark whits walls of a factory be painted a restful green with a resulting decrease in the number of fatigue cases. Or he may change the color of an office from light blue to a warmer yellow to eliminate "cold" complaints, Making color work for efficiency and comfort in schools and offices is a very speialized field called color con- ditioning, Why not apply the same rules to your home, adding your own personal touches of course? Start with a can of paint and a few basic facts about color and the illusions it creates, For instance, small rooms seem crowded and oppressive if the walls are dark or f oo bright in color. Pale blues or greens give a feeling of spaciousness, and a ceiling of the same color increases the roomy effect. Of course, this principle can be ap- plied in reverse. If you feel lonely in your big, high-ceilinged living -room,. try painting the walls in a bright, rosy shade and the ceiling in a deeper color. This creates an illusion of less heighth and a cosier atmosphere, Apartment dwellers can make rooms appear bigger by paint- ing walls and woodwork the same color, and by relating colors of different rooms so they seem to flow from one to the other, Painting one wall a pale shade in a different color from the rest will add length to a room that is too square or "boxy". Housewives who spend as many as eight hours a day in the kitchen should be extremely color -conscious, If the kitchen isn't on the brightest side of the house, a generous application of yellow paint will give it a "sunny" outlook all day long, However, if the kitchen has a western exposure, which is the brightest, go easy on the yellow or you may need dark glasses! Red should be used sparingly in the kitchen, too, since it's a "hot" color and tends to emphasize the heat produced by cooking. Refrigerators, stoves and other appliances have recently come under the scrutiny of color ex- perts with very pleasing results. The traditional but uninspired white is gradually giving wsy to soft pastels that give plenty of scope to the home decorator. Color styling is an inexpensive hobby, Since you can do the work yourself with the aid of easy -to -apply paints, you can afford to experiment to your heart's content. Don't be afraid to try new ideas, When visitors exclaim, "My, what a large room", or "Isn't it cool in here!" you'll. know your color -sense is keen. Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else, --WILL ROGERS MERRY MENAGERIE "I've never seen him, but they say he's a bird dog:" CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING BABY CHICKS WE HATCH only Top Quality Chicks.
