'Playing before a good crowd at the local ball park on Monday night, Blyth Legionairres opened their five -game semi-final series with Palmerston by banging out a resounding 15 to 4 vic- tory. As It turned out, what the visitors lacked in sound softball strategy, they more than made up for in vocal dis- cord, Had they eaten their "beef" for supper, and stuck to softball on the diamond fans might have been treated to a less one-sided game. The visitors gave evidence of mak- ing a struggle of it in the second in- ning when they went into n brief 2-0 lead. They fell short in all other in- nings except the sixth when they again pushed across two runs which had lit- tle bearing on the game because by this time the Legionairres had pulled into a substantial lead As for the Legionairres, they played good ball, coming up with several sparkling double plays and also hitting well. Several of their runs resulted from loose play on the pact of the vis- itors as for example, on one occasion Jack Tyreman bunted safely and cane all the way home with two runners scoring ahead of him when Palmerston threw the ball away at third base. The Legionairres scored once in the second inning, took a 5 to 2 lead In the fourth, increased it to 7 in the fifth, 11 in the sixth, and wound up with four more, it. the eighth, for a total of 15 runs. Both starting hurlers went the dis- tance. Carmr:n Macdonald an the hill for 'the Legionairres pitched steadily and aided his own cause tremendously with two home runs. The Palmerston hurler also went the route, but in the last two Innings either weakened not- iceably, or stopped trying. The visitors brought along some lusty supporters who made their presence evident and added somewhat to the in- terest of the game. Local fans were glad to ace Grover Clare. jr,, in the Palmerston lineup, Grover played a good game at short- stop and was robbed of a home run by the good throwing arm of Eddie Wat- son. Grover drove one over Ed's head in left field, but Eddie retrieved the ball' and throw n strike to the'plate In time to hold Grover up at third. In the process Grover drove in a run on the drive,, and later scored himself on Hill's single. The second game is being played at Clifford this Wednesday night, The series is a best three -out -of -five games. Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer Lush and Ron- nie visited in Meaford over the week- end with Mr, and Mrs, Morley Kings- well, alto with Mr, and Mrs, Thomas Cornfield of Thornbury and Mr, and Mrs. Kerwood Ward of Rocklyn, They also visited Mr, Kerwood Ward who is a patient in Collingwood hospital, and Mrs. Gordon Wilson, of Rocklyn.

Everyone in the tour donned colorful paper hats to wear throuh the plant. The children were warned to keep hands in pockets and behind their backs. This because of injury if touching machinery, The plant itself was very warm and steamy due to heat in processing the corn In to corn flakes and other cereals. The processing of all bran was viewed by all as well as the cutting, printing and shaping of the boxes to contain cer- eals. FInally the group - saw large cartons being packed ready for ship- ment. On returning to the starting point of the tour every visitor was given a variety box of cereals. From Kellogg's the group continued the tour by going to Springbank Park for the noon meal with 34 people en- joying the eats which each had taken along.

Cleared Bees From Main St. Business Block Local painter, James Lawrie, and his assistant, Walter Buttell, spent a few anxious hours on Tuesday morn- ing at tbe rear of the Bank of. Com- merce block just off main street. The men were painting the building, the back of which posed quite a prob- lem when It was discovered thousands of bees were using the brickwork for hiving purposes and naturally resented the invasion of Messrs. Lawrie and Buttell, who were just as determined that their work should go on uninter- rupted, Gas was used to conquer the buzzers and the work is proceeding. The bees have been in the wall of the building for several years, and sounding of the wall led to the belief that there might be n great quantity of honey stored inside the brick work. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Sims and daugh- ter, Linda, of London, visited over the week -end with Mrs. Sims' mother, Mrs. Edythe Bell and sister, Miss Mel - da McElroy, How do you tell a blind person what to do when the fire alarm' is ringing so loud they can't hear? Being blind creates many problems, some of them so unusual people who have been blind for years have not ex- perienced them. The problem of the fire alarm bell came to light at West- ern Ontario's Home and Training Cen- tre for the Blind in London during a false alarm. Built with' fundscontributed by resi- dents of 'Huron, Elgin, A1Tdale .-.,nd Perth Counties the home is equipped with a fire alarm system which rings loud bells throughout the building as well as notifying the Fire Department.

THE FUTURE Before China was engulfed by the Red tide, a family. named Lum — grandfather, father and twelve -year-old son -- lived in poverty in a tiny compound. The grandfather was crippled by arthritis and unable to continue his share of work in the rice paddy, so .the father decided to liquidate him. He trussed him up in a big market basket and made for the shore of the Yangtze River. En route he met his son who cried, "What are you doing to my poor grand- father?" "Quiet," whispered the father, "By lowering him info the stream we will end his suf- fering and at the same time lighten our load." "I see," nodded the son, "but be sure to bring back the basket. I'll need it for you one day." RIGHT-WINGER —Ultroconsefvatiw right-winger gives photo- grapher the bird during a barnyard harrangue.

"You must come in." which it was tied, to ben towards each other. that it d over The discovery enchanted him. He took a small ladder and let down the line, •The trees sprang back into position and the line jumped into a series of kinks and curls. He told no one about the inci-. dent, It was not the only thing of this kind that he had noticed. On the way to schpol he had observed that, around noon, the twigs . and leaves in the forest were straight, but in the early morning dew they curled and waved. Eventually, no doubt, these discoveries would have passed from his mind, if one afternoon, later in the summer, he had not played a game of rounders on the village green, Boys were called away for milking, so an urgent invitation was sent out for girls to take their places. He had four sisters, but none, he knew, was available. He had to ex- plain, rather shame-facedly, that they were having their hair put into curlers. "Pooh,' fancy putting their hair into curlers!" mocked a little girl, whose mass of golden curls was the pride of the village. "My mummy just holds my head in the .steam of a kettle and it curls right away," 'Thus was the final ]ink estab- lished in young Charles Nessler's theory which led to his great invention of permanent waving in 1905— fifty years ago. As Goon as he could save enough money he came to Lon- don and took a hairdressing shop at 47, Great Portland Street, in the West End -of London, Few hairdressers believed that hair could be permanently waved -and money was hard to get to, finance his work, He lived by working for. wigmakers and mak- , Ing artificial . eyelashes, Hardships followed his first experiment. He gave a demon- stration to leading London hair- dressers and it ended in a near riot,. The model was injured, the machine damaged and Ness- ler himself was manhandled. Hairdressers were alarmed that what they, had seen would kill . Marcel Waving—with specially designed irons — upon which their living at that time de-. pended,, Like Marcel Grateau, the French hairdresser who inven- ted this form of hair waving, Charles Nessler forgot to patent his process of making straight hair curly. Had he done- so, said Mr. Justice Eve a few years later in the courts, his invention could never have been copied or infringed in any shape or form, And Nessler might have died one of the richest men who had ever lived, • Baffled and enraged by his treatment at the hands of London hairdressers, he . set to work improving his machine and offer- ing permanent waves to rich women at $30 a time. Some of his' beat backroom boys left him to develop the invention on their The dreamy little boy sat on. The shower came, The hot sun- shine followed, Then, to him, a remarkable thing haPeened, Watching the hempen clothes- line, he saw it gradually tighten until it became so taut caused the two young trees, to own lines, one of whom was Eu- gene Suter, the millionaire own- er of . Eugene Waving. Another was Peter Sartory, who invented machineless waving many years ' later, Then another tragedy overtook _Charles Nessler. The 1914-1918 war broke out and as he had forgotten to take out naturali- zation papers, he was interned, But after a brief period, he was released and allowed to go to the United States. After the war his possessions in London, his shop and the invention, were seized and sold for almost noth- • ing to the landlord. From the other side of the Atlantic he saw his great in- vention revolutionising h a i r - dressing in Britain. From a mere handful of ladies' hairdressing salons, thousands of shops opened throughout the country and per- manent waving gradually be- came world-wide . with custom- ers for it running into millions, Today in Great Britain the industry employs some •150,000 people, In Canada and the Unit- ed States it is three times as large. There are now some 100 systems of permanent waving and all the methods—hot, ma- chineless, tepid" and cold, were invented here. Although Charles Nessler be- came wealthy and successful in the United States (he died there a few years ago), he never quite overcame a sense of being peri secuted, the result of his early days in London. In his, later years he became 'obsessed with. the fear that humanity was los- ing its hair and making his great invention worthless. He attacked scientists who said that, baldness was heredi- tary and he vigorously denied that baldness had anything to • do with age. "If baldness were hereditary," he wrote, •"women would be at least equally subjected to it as, with one or two exceptions, the transmission of traits from par- ent to child alternates and the father's characteristics are found rather in the daughter than in the son." • He was tireless in collecting statistics about hair, He found that the normal adult produced four and a half ounces of hair annually -- and some produced up to seven ounces. He studied people who lived to be a hun- dred and proved that they had grown as much as thirty-five pounds of hair during their life- time, The hair produced from a single root in the average hu- man being during lifetime was fifty feet in length. Although he was not a scien- tist he derided medical opinion - when it claimed that baldness was the result of infection through disease, He pointed to the tramp who is seldom with- out luxuriant hair growth, He dismissed dieting as a means for safeguarding the health of the hair. "Hair," he wrote, "is the phys- ical expression of that inner urge in all of us to self-protec- tion and mankind is unconscious- ly losing this urge as it makes life safer more. assured and more organized," Baldness was the result of the failure of hair to reproduce it- self and this was due to a break- down in the body's hair -making machinery. • "The • hair' gives the , first Indi- cation of bad health in the ma- jority of cases, if we would only watch for it. A healthy person always has good hair, even though athletes often go bald, but athletes are strong often wlthoiut being healthy," he con-' tended. Was it Coincidence Strange things happen when Fate takes a hand in matters, Or was it just coincidence that caused two cars to collide at s busy intersection in Johannes- burg the other day? One of the drivers was Mrs, Jessie McLeod, who was on her way to the city- centre to visit her sister-in-law, Mrs, Rose Mc- Leod, As she climbed out of her dented car she stared in aston- ishment at the other driver the sister-in-law she'd been on her way to see! A few years ago, a New Zee- land woman, Mrs. Thomas Askew, of Dunedin, arrived in Hamburg to search for her son, He had been reported "missing" three years previously, in 1944, after his 'plane was shot down over Germany. Mrs, Askew spent four fruit- less months scouring German records for any trace of her son, Then she came across a vital entry in a hospital record at Dort- mund. It related to a New Zealand pilot, name unknown, who was admitted to the hospital with serious injuries after being shot down while on a raid. The final note read: "Discharged to mili- tary police," followed by the date, With the help of police offi- cials, Mrs, Askew traced her son to three different concentration camps. The last one in which he had been was captured by the American forces and all the prisoners had been freed. Convinced that he was alive, she enlisted the aid of the Ameri- can Army of Liberation and was given no fewer than nineteen cases of Australian, British and New Zealand airmen who had been released but whose identi- ties were unknown because they were suffering from lapses of memory, Still determined to find. her lost boy, Mrs, Askew came to Britain, But her son had not been admitted to any hospitals here; nor had he been taken to Am- erica, She then discovered from the War Office that the Anzac men had been shipped back to their native land. She set- out at once for Australia. Another two months elapsed during which seven men suffer- ing .from' loss of memory were traced. But there was still no sign of Mrs, Askew's son, Dennis, aged twenty-six; and his mother finally had to return to her home in New Zealand, As she stepped into the house she saw some letters that had been delivered during her lengthy absence, One of them had been airmailed from Sydney a few hours after her departure; ;As soon as, she'd, read it she ran for the telephone to call a taxi. "Dear Madam," it said, "We have been able to trace a man whose description fits that of your 'son, This man's identity is totally unknown, but he is be- lieved to be either Australian or a New Zealander and Is at present in Government employ in Canberra." Three days later a 'plane with Mrs, Askew on board touched down at the Australian capital, and within a few minutes Mrs, Askew, weeping bitterly, swept an embarrassed young man into her arms. She had found her son! He still had no idea of who he was, but now, safely back home; he has recovered after a series of operations, Even 'more dramatic was a search that took just over five years, Here truly Fate took a hand , in the matter, A young American infantryman was be- lieved to have been killed in action in the first world war; but there was no trace of his body. 13y December, 1920, his father, Lorne S. Aberman, de- cided to go in search of his son's body. He went to Europe and scoured cemeteries and records in vain. From the State Department Mr, Aberman learned that some 2,000 American soldiers were still listed missing, Many 6f them were believed to be suffering from loss of memory or were dead and untraced, In November, 1923, almost five years after his son vanished, Mr, Aberman arrived in France with his son's dog, an Alsatian, "If I do not recognize my son," Mr. Aberman declared, "his dog will," In a remote French village he learned that there were some "strange" Frenchmen in the dis- trict, derelicts of the war who had lost all trace of time and place and their own identities. The searching father went from man to man and found that mostly they were Belgians or Germans. Then, in Alsace-Lor- raine, in a small village, the do gave a sudden, eager bark ond' morning. Jerking himself free from the leash, he darted through a crowd of people and jumped up excit- edly at a man with a badly dis- figured face, He was blind in one eye, one leg had been amputated below the knee and four fingers had been lost from one hand. But the dog knew his master) The whole tragic story - was then revealed, The young man, hideously scarred by the war, did not want to return home but settled in a community where many men were just as badly scarred as he was and where he would not be subjected to the curious stares of strangers, Surgical treatment soon restor- ed young Aberman to a semb- lance of what he had been, And when his faithful pat died in 1933 a grave was made for him and a simple tombstone erected to com- memorate the Alsatian who had found his master, The habit of reading is the ' only enjoyment hi which there is no alloy; It lasts when all other pleasures fade. —ANTHONY TROLLOPE TALL TALE — Iowa isn't tilt onlyplace where the cora grows tall, Murray Geiger Churubusco, Ind,, farmer, look: up at a cornstalk'' more thar 10 feet high.

TllLFAN FONT Pointing up to the very un- satisfactory returns for potatoes the directors of the Ontario Po- tato Growers in session at Al- liston on August 8 instructed their Secretary, R. E. Goodin, to issue the following statement: "Widespread drought condi- tions throughout Ontario during the critical growing stage for in- termediate and late crops of po- tatoes have resulted in extreme- ly low yields. To further add to worries of potato growers,. mar- ket prices have reached an un- usually low level (far below costs of production) due to sup- plies arriving from U.S.A. at distress prices, since the six week seasonal tariff of 371/2 cents per cwt. on imports ter- minated on July 3lst. • • • Considering the present seri- ous situation the directors, On- tario Potato Growers Associa- tion, meeting in Alliston, South Simcoe County to -day (Aug. 8) urgently request that' EMER- GENCY measures be taken at once to assist in stabilization of the market, by putting into ef- fect tariff rates as requested on several occasions by various or- ganizations representing the in- dustry in all Provinces of Can- ada, including those presented by master and individual briefs at the hearing of the Tariff Board on the subject early ' in June of this year. • • • Moved )Sy Heber Irwin — Dui ferin County, Seconded by Orley Marshall — Wentworth County and carried unanimously by di- rectors representing the entire Province," During the Alliston meeting reports of a drastic downswing in prices were general, In the Belleville area, for instance, threats 'of imports saw the market break from $2.25 per 75 pound bag to an offering price of 900, • .* .,.,� That potatoes •are in trouble r KINE .WORDS — Costumed as a cow, a. woman member of the Ceylon Humanitarian Society in Colombo sings a song after mak- ing a speech denouncing cattle. killing. It was the annual "Pity. the Cow" meeting. has been evident for some time, Most of the trouble stems from the situation in the United States and the subsequent threat of imports, The Americans have a surplus estimated at 50,000,- 000 bushels above market re- quirements. As is always the case when the surplus position develops there is a wild hunt for markets and of course, in this case, Canada looks like a good disposal area. * * • Here in Ontario under the threat of imports when the duty of 371/2 cents per hundredweight came off automatically on July 31 prices broke sharply as deal- ers indicated intentions of seek- ing supplies across the border.• The break in prices prevented heavy imports although enough have come in to make the in- dustry realize that the U.S.A. crop is in control of the situa- tion unless the Canadian Gov- ernment takes immediate action. Certainly the position of the Canadian potatoe industry is ample proof of the need . for, some degree of tariff protection if the industry is to survive. * • • Some idea of how grim the • situation is in the United States is to be had from the following extracts from American publi- cations: -- THE POTATO WORLD The 1955 potato crop is fore- cast at 400,335,000 bushels -- 12 percent above the 1954 re- vised production of 356,031,000 , bushels and less than one per- cent below the 10 -year average of 401,146,000 bushels, (The revision of the previous year's crop, which is usually made in the following December, was made for this report.) The revised production of 1954 dif- fers less than one million bush- es from the preliminary esti- mate published in December 1954. The prospective 1955. crop is the largest crop since 1950 when 429,896,0000 bushels were ,produced. The indicated production of 400 million bushels. stunned everybody. Guesses on the July, Production Estimate were gen- erally 375 to 385 million bushels, but nobody expected a produc- tion of 400 million. Everybody. was stunhed to say the least. It means a huge surplus. It had an immediate affect on the, market as everyone felt that the pro- duction' is so large that it's simply a hopeless cause. • • • Last year, we produced 355 million bushels and even that crop was too large in spite of the 'fact .that Maine potatoes, due , to weather conditions, showed such an unusually large cull -out. The, old potato deal was headed for a poor. wind-up when di- saster hit Alabama the last few • days in March. Wiping out' of the Alabama crop with serious damage to some of the other states bordering the Gulf wiped • out'a lot of May potatoes so that old potatoes made an immediate about-face', and. had 'a strong wind-up. It was 'a , disaster in the. South that brought about a strong wind-up'. to old potatoes last year when we only pro- duced` 355 million.

SIZE OF SURPLUS The potato industry is in trouble'- 50 million bushels of trouble to say the least.this year, possible more if growing con- ditions continue at the pros- pective rate. A brief, cool look-see at the crop and merchandising outlook may halt hysteria • from many quarters, and provide a gather- ing ground whereby this dismal situation may be remedied. The big offenders in the over- production of potatoes this year are the eight major late states. They exceeded the recommend- ed goals of USDA, but the big- gest offender was the weather, which provided perfect condi- tions up to this time to boost yields to a point where the ex- . pension of acreage has been ex- aggerated, Surgical Treatment For a Fish! Fish swam swiftly to and fro in the' world's strangest surgery — a -giant tank at' Pal- os Verdes, California -= a short time' ago while a surgeon with special breathing apparatus per- formed a delicate eye' operation on Charlie, a myopic bat ray weighing fifty pounds. 'Charlie had accidentally blind - ea himself by banging too vig- orously on. the glass, wall of the tank, which is known as an oceanariim, -A crowd • gathered to watch and to hear the eye • surgeon, Dr, George Blasdel_ give a run- ning commentary on the opera- tion over a public address sys ,' tem, Fascinated, they saw Charlie, • under an anaesthetic, lying strapped to a small operating table -laden with weights, The . . surgeon wore a special lens on his faceplate to' correct under= water distortion and a diver stood by with a tray of surgical instruments, Lives of many creatures are now saved yearly by - surgical operations which • were • once thought'' impossible, Like children, animals are always swallowing. things they . shouldn't.' At one London ani- mals' hospital recently a cat, which had swallowed a hatpin nearly six inches long, was op- erated upon successfully while another patient, a small terrier weighing only seven 'pounds which had swallowed a piece of read pipe two `inches long, waited his turn patiently, An X-ray photograph once revealed that a dog had become a "money -box"; an operation brought, to light nine pennies and a half -penny, A Blenheim spaniel which was the victim of a road accident was fitted with a false leg and a false paw, The leg was made of silver covered with leather and had a flexible joint which the . dog quickly learned to use. False teeth for animals are now no novelty. One of the first complete sets was made for a favourite dog belonging to the late King George V, ,Snake surgery can be tricky, but it is usually quite 'success- ful, At. the London Zoo as long ago as 1924'a deadly snake suf- fering from abscess in the jaw was operated on. The patient was a green mam- ba, that terror of the African forest which lies in wait for its victims amid the branches of trees, A specially -designed box was used as ' an opreating • theatre so that the surgeon could work in comparative safety. The protesting reptile was hooked into the box and then a noose was inserted through an aperture and manipulated over its head, The' noose was pulled tight and with the patient thus , secured the operation was per- formed .successfully.

Cork' Harvest Preparations were made for what is believed will be a record cork harvest this year, It be- gan in August and for. some weeks afterwards many thou- sands of tons of cork were stripped from evergreen oak trees in Spain and Portugal. First craps are gathered when the trees are fifteen to twenty years old. After that crops are taken every eight or ten years, the cork's quality improving wtih the age of the tree. Harvesting requires skill and dexterity for if the inner bark is damaged a tree may die. A mature tree will yield up to 150 lb. of cork at each stripping. Some years ago a London firm of cork importers was asked to provide a cork wall for use in a film. The scenario called for the blowing up of a brick wall. A real wall could have been built more easily but to blow it up might have endangered the lives of the film stars. None of them minded being peppered in the face by cork fragments. - During the war a Spanish ship bound for Britain struck a mine. But instead of going to the bot- tom, she floated, War insurance, in view of the nature of the ship's cargo, had already been quoted at exceptionally low rates. The cargo was cork. The wise carry their knowl- edge as they do their watches, not for display, but for their gown use. --SIR THOMAS BROWNE Fast Punishment In olden days in Britain ex- ecution followed judgment with terrifying speed. Directly fol- lowing the fatal words . , . "That you be taken hence . . ." the condemned man was taken out , and hanged, after being granted a few minutes to prepare his soul. That is the origin of the ex- pression "short shrift." A priest was always at hand to shrive him, that is, to give him the last rites and help him on his journey. The custom still persists in that a chaplain is always in court when sentence of death 'is given, to. add "Amen" to the judge's prayer — "May the Lord have mercy on your soul." Nowadays a man is rarely sentenced to death without A trial which has lasted two or three days. Yet not so long ago, in 1925, at the Manchester As- sizes, a murder trial lasted lit- tle more than four minutes when a plea of guilty was ac- cepted from a young man charged with the murder of a woman at Stretford. The accused was condemned and, after three Sundays had passed, he was hanged. As a rule the judge will .re- fuse to accept a plea of guilty in a murder charge and will order the case to be fully tried, But one of the shortest cases in the record of the Old Bailey took place in 1935, when James Vent pleaded guilty to the murder of a woman by cutting her throat in Camberwell. The accused, smiling broadly, answered "Guilty" in a loud voice when called upon to plead, and waited unconcernedly with his hands in, his pockets while the judge made ,inquiries as to his mental state—and then asked Vent's counsel to take him out- side the court and make sure . that he understood what he was. pleading to, Upon his return he persisted in his plea. The judge, having heard medical evidence to the effect that the man was sane, had no alternative but to proceed to sentence. AYSllOa LESSON It, Barclay Warren. B.A„ R.O. Struggle for Survival Nehemiah 4:6-9, 15, 21-23; 12:27, 43. Memory Selection: And they said, Let us rise up and build, So they strengthened their hands for this good work. Nehemiak 2:18, The story of Nehemiah leading the returned exiles to build the walls around Jerusalem Is one of the most thrilling of the Old Testament. Nehemiah held • position of honour in Babylon, cup -bearer to the King. The king noticed Neherniah's sadness and inquired for its cause, He was grieving because the walls•of his home city, Jeruusalem, were -i• ruins and its gates had been burned. The king released Nehe• mlah to go and build the walls and ordered -that materials be furnished him. There were many obstacles, But Nehemiah prayer. That ex- pression occurs several times in the story. He didn't get 'discour- aged but he prayed and his strength was renewed. Neigh- bouring chiefs ridiculed the work. But' Nehemiah and his people were undaunted. Then the ene- mies conspired to come together and fight against Jerusalem. "Nevertheless we made our prayer unto God, and set a watch against them day and night." (4:9). The Samaritans slandered, them saying that Nehemiah was fortifying Jerusalem in order to rebel and proclaim himself king, but he replied that this was e falsehood of their own devising. Finally Sanballat and Tobiah hired a false prophet to intimi- date Nehemiah . and scare him into hiding in the temple. Then they intended to belittle him and jeer at- his cowardice. • But Nehemiah refused to fall into their trap. It's a great story of faith, hard work and cooperation. God blessed them and the walls were completed. Nehemiah saw the realization of his vision. We need these elements in the church today. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith can only survive in a pray- ing heart. Then we need hard work, The. preacher can't do It all, , There. must be, others _ who are willing' to -tithe their time to advance, the kingdom of God. We must have cooperation. The people hada mind to ,work. They worked well together, This spirit will win anywhere, We need more of it in our churches today.

Pie--InThe Sky The following article, taken from nn earlier edition of The Stanard, and written by the RevDr. R. W. Ross, is being republished at the request of a subscriber, who felt that the thoughts contained in the article would' once again refresh the minds of those who read it; The spacious firmament on 'high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens a shining Frame, Their great Original Proclaim, Addison is face to face with the im- mensities. What colossal nouns he us- es! What .glittering adjectives! Fir- mament, heavens, and sky, are varied terms for the same thing.. The ancients thought the sky was a solid vault, firm, resting on the distant hills. If you were there, you could touch it. The heavens is just the expanse spread aver the earth„ • The sky is :becohning• more wonderful to each -generation, We speak of the open sky; the sky line, the sky is the limit, pie in the sky, sky high, sky blue, sky rockets, sky- scrap- ers, skylark and skypilot—It is the big- gest thing we know—bigger than the oceans, bigger than the continents, It is the one object .in nature that every eye can see. Multitudes never see tine Atlantic, nor the Rockies. We all car- ry the sight of the' sky from+ childhood through to old age. It is everybody's sky. My brother bought the old Immo farm, chiefly for recreation. He likes its looks; it is beautiful for situation, It has family traditions. His deed de. scribes W5 location, size and limits, He paid for what is inside these limits, for nothing more. Now he discovers he' is possessor• of external things that cling to it. He can't disentangle it from its surrounding' landscapes with houses and barns, highlands, and lowlands, fields and trees, gardens and streams owned by the Iiallahun's, the McGill's, the Ellises, the Radford's and Fear's. This pleasant outlook Is not mentioned in the title. It is a free gift but not from the sellers, He owns the 100 ac- res of land he paid for; and the 100 ac' res of sky above It that he did not pay tor; they belong together. There is plc in the -sky. ' It's clouds water his fields, no water rates. It's sun lights his pas- tures; no hydro fees. It also makes ev- erything live and grow and produce, no charges, His eyes have the rignt o range the ,,whole panorama of the sky with it's many, moving coloured )letures of sunrises and sunsets, ,It's dazzling displays of electric fireworks, 'n the crushing thunderstorms,, The show Is free, There is nothing .on earth the sky does not reproduce, cloud, continents and islands," cloud, lakes and forests; cloud cities, with towers and spires; walls of crystal; gates of pearls; streets of gold, Who will say that in, this old world we nev- er get something for, nothing? We do! What lavish luxury!", What priceless treasures - are for us, without money and without price! The sky too is a faithful companion, Whither shall we flee from it's pres- ence? If we take the winged airship and fly to far off lands and strange people. The familiar sky goes along with us, carrying our trusty friends, sun, moon and stars giving a touch of Home Sweet Home. The beasts of the field know nothing of the sky, They use the light that falls from it. They don't look up. While mon gazes in rapture at the ma- jestic beauty of the sky, his horse in - .different, goes on eating grass. The tragedy of life is in what we miss. "No day" said Jean Paul "should close, without a look at the sky." There is no excuse for being ignorant of the loveliness of the sky. To_devote one- self solely to bodily needs, and pleas- ures; and neglect the sky is to drift to the plane where the animals live; and sell our birthright for a mess of pot. lege. To miss the beauty of the sky that stirs the souls' admiration and reverence is to allow God to break one of his alabaster boxes on our head, in vain, . All good things come down. Back of the loaf is the snowy flour, And back of the flour is the mill, And back of the mill is the sun and, the •shower, And the Father's will. . Everything is sky born, Everything, day by day, Is fed by the sky. There is pie in the sky. Without the sky, we perish, DONNYBROOK Miss Louise Jefferson visited last week with her friend, Miss Winnifred Munroe at Wroxeter.

New School For Colborne Township Preliminary land -levelling work will commence in the near future as a start !an a modern' two -room school for Col- borne Township. The main work of building, however, will not be done un- til next spring and the new school will bb ready for occupancy for the com- mencement of the school term in Sep- tuber,' 1956. 'The new school Is to be located on the same site as the old Zion United Church, torn down several decades ago, at concessions 5 and 6, Colborne Town- ship south of Carlow, Four acres of land on the farm of William Treble have been purchased by the Colborne Township School Area Board for the sum of $1,200, The land was purchased on Monday of last week. The entire board was agreed on the need for a new school but there was a difference of opinion as to where it should be itocated. Another site considered was also on the Treble farm but closer to Carlow. It was finally thought that too much money would have to be (pent to level the land on the second choice site. Chairman of the Colborne Township ,School Area Board is Charles Millian, ;vhile other members of the board are tpenson Straughan, Neil Lowey, Mil- ord Durst and Clifford McNeil, It was- felt that No, 1 school, nearly ;00 years old, Is beyond repair. No. 3 vas condemned and torn down two ;'cars ago. The children from No, 3 ;cave been attending Saltford• school but vith tlie attendance at Saltford school know about 77, this number 1s too large ko be adequately handled. No. 4 was closed down about ten years ago and ,'1o. 5 several years later. When No. 1 Is closed down next year it will be the fourth school in the township to be dosed in the past ten years. Hence the need of the new school which will be built, in such a way as to facilitate the adding of another room to the two room structure when necessary. • The ,past three years has shown an increase in the school population of Colborne Towship and this has been ;largely due to an influx of Dutch im- Migrants. • As the old schools were torn down •over the past decade the were, of pru- •perty and building materials from •them created a fund which was set up as a building fund for a new school. •It was this money which was used to purchase the new school site on the .Treble farm, An artesian well will be drilled on the new school site in the immediaete future.

"She has always objected to any man I knew because she hates the idea of my marrying, My fiance is patient and wond- erfully kind, but she doesn't get along well with him and I know it is mainly her fault.

That is ' to say. for five days we had the privilege of taking care of our grandson without the help of his parents. Daughter was away to camp with her troop of Girl Guides and Art was busy on . the trans- portation end of the affair. . So we had Dave. He was asleep in. his'•cot in our room when his pRerkts; left and we wondered wreaction would be . the li xrtotning. We need not have w�,�r �kiti Dave accepted the sit- ua bit and took everything in lits; ti'ide, • It was very hot and humid . as if I need to tell you . , ` so we decided that' for once in his life Dave could go without shoes and socks as his mother did when she was young. The lawn was hard and dry and we wondered if his feet would be too tender, to stand it. But they did. Part of the time Grandpa was building a stone garden walk, Dave, nearby, amused himself by getting in and out • of a small .wash -tub into which Partner had poured "a pail, of water. The supply didn't last too long as Dave got a couple ' of tobacco tins and busily baled it out. It didn't matter how wet he got as his clothing was re- duced.to a pair of training pants, Poor little chap — he usually settles down 'so well at. night but', , for several nights there wasn't a breath of air and., he was naturally restless. So on. two 'occasions' I took him out of his cot and we sat. onthe front step's together , to cool off,. After that I put him ,back in his cot and he went right ff .to sleep, Strange how children will .find their own favourite playthings. My little. two-year-old niece' in England has lovely toys but her pet plaything was. a small jar half filled • with mixed buttons. She 'never tired of tipping them out and picking them up again. Dave's mania was to see how many stones he could pick up off the driveway.. Every •time he came into 'the house one chubby little hand would 'be grasping a fair -size stone -and woe be- tide us if we tried to take it away! A set of farm animal was another joy—two . horses, two cows, a pig and a sheep, He sat in his high chair and played, with them and at. meal -time• the animalshad to be fed as well as Dave. We made • it a rule that the animals must be put back..in • their 'box when he went to bed, with the. exception .of one. He, was allowed. to take either the pig or the sheep with hint; firm- ly grasped in his wee hand.' Of course our supremacy as caretakers ended when Mummy and Dad appeared ,on the' scene.. At that age—not • quite two— grandparents just don't count. if the parents are around, 'Se for. that reason we were glad to have Davey to ourselves and to know that we Could manage him, with - Out any trouble.should an 'emer- gency arise, Of course when'` a child.. is in a strange • place con- stant vigilance :is', necessary, So when .I- Was. busy in . the house grandpa took. over,.

Robbie, of course, is frightfully jealous but the cats don't mind him at all. In fact Partner said he wit- nessed the funniest thing last night he has seen for a long time. Rusty and Robbie were having a wrestling match out- side, half playing, half flghting with a good deal of growling mixed in, Black Cat Joe was sit- ting on top of the woodpile look- ing on.

Everybody was eager for the truth that lay behind the mystery built up around.this queen of best-sellers. • But it was not easy to dis• cover, One newspaper stated that Marie Corelli had been found one wintry night, a blue- eyed baby with £ 10 pinned to her shawl, on the doorstep of a certain Doctor Charles Mackay, who had adopted her. Another announced the finding of a birth certificate proving without doubt that Miss Corelli was the daughter of Thomas Cody, a Marylebone labourer. And yet a third paper entered the tray to publish an account Of a romantic meeting in a Stratford -on -Avon church be- tween Doctor Mackay and Maria Coralie Gonsalez, a beautiful Italian countess, Hence the name "Marie Corelli," they suggested. Marie herself always declared she had been adopted, by Mac- kay, But a lifelong friend in- sisted that the doctor was the novelist's legal parent, Research has proved this last statement true, but although Marie was born on May 1st, 1855 (thus the centenary of her birth fell this year), Mackay couldn't marry her mother — an Englishwoman named Mills — until 1861, after his first wife died, From a letter found after Marie Corelli's death it is clear the did not know the truth about her birth until 1889, when the decease of her father revealed the facts to her, But she managed to keep the secret. for the' rest of her life, putting busybodies off the• scent not only by declaring she was an adopted child, but by deduct- ing ten years from her age to make the story more convincing, While yet in her teens Marie started to write, but she could not find a publisher, One editor even declared that fiction -writ. ing was obviously "not her forte." How furious he must tfave felt a few years later when the novels of Marin Corelli burst upon a startled world. Like a dazzling meteor this unknown writer sent her works soaring into the blaze of publicity and became the famous author whose sensational books were the talk of the world: Queens, princes, prime minis- ters and bishops, all were tre- mendously impressed by the thirty-one novels s h e wrote, Their subject -matter ranged from disembodied souls to ab- sinthe addicts in the Parisian underworld, and her imagination was so powerful that everything' she • touched was charged with rich • emotion, Is it . any wonder her world sales could be reckoned in tens of millions, and her earnings £ 10,000 for each book? But behind this astonishing success story lay years of grind_ ing slavery for the sake of two worthless men, One was Marie's philandering father, Doctor Mac- kay; and the other his rascally son Eric, ' As soon as these jackals real- ized what a money -spinner they had in the young Marie they allowed her to' support them in idleness for the rest of their days. Eric was a particularly nasty specimen; fat, flabby and lazy, he had been a sponger all his life. Blind to his vices, his step- sister financed his shady affairs, and permitted him to escort her to the various social functions she attended, On these occasions Erlc dis- played such devotion towards her that tongues began to wag, It was whispered they were lovers and even secretly mar- ried, When, later, Eric showed his true colours by boasting that it was really he who had written all Marie's books, she did at last turn against him. Among Marie's many admirers were the Prince of Wales (after. wards Edward VII) and Mr, Gladstone, When the. latter vis- ited her one day he brought Mrs. Gladstone, who was obliged to sit outside the house in .

"COMES OF AGE"—Princess Margaret holds her pet dog as she poses for an informal 25th birthday portrait in the garden of Clarence House, London. In royal circles, a princess "comes of age" when she is 25. Court in an open . carriage for over two hours while her hus- band chatted and laughed within. Marie Corelli was presented to the Prince of Wales when she stayed in Germany. He gave a dinner party in her honour at which he commented upon the smallness of ' her hands. "Out of small things what wonders arise!" he exclaimed admiringly. This was followed by a lunch- eon in which Marie was intro- duced to . "my son, George, who is well acquainted with , your books." When, eventually, the deaths of the two Mackays relieved her of much responsibility Marie moved to Stratford -on -Avon. Here she became so great a leg- end that more people went to stare at her house( with its cas- cading window -boxes, than to Shakespeare's birthplace. Coloured postcards of her were on sale in all the shops, and one tourist was overheard to boast that she had seen "Shakespeare's daughter"! ButMarie was no heroine to the townsfolk. She threw her weight about too much and was not above telling the shopkeep- ers how to arrange their goods. She drove around in a tiny car- riage drawn by Shetland ponies, with a footinan perched up be- hind, and even bought a gondola to glide upon the Avon with a gondolier specially imported from Venice, To hit the headlines was ever Marie's aim, and she went to great lengths to keep her name before the public, "Nothing suc- ceeds like excess" was her motto and she kept inventing more fables to keep the interest from flagging, S h e refused to be photo- graphed, and all likenesses of her had to be faked, She announced that she belonged to a secret re- ligious sect not allowed to wor- ship in, church and that she could speak Hebrew fluently. There `was no truth in either statement. But so well did her self -adver- tising work that if she visited the Memorial Theatre the audi- ence rose to. its feet as though, shewere the Queen; and when s '1F 1V 'F C .A b B.C.-.A.D.65 ) Men who ,think of tomorrow practice moderation' today "PRETTY PLEASE -Yank's photo- genic catcher, Yogi Berra, is caught with an angelic expres- sion on his face as his prayers are answered with a neat snare of a pop foul at New York's Yankee Stadium. the poetess, Elia Wheeler Wilcox, called upon her, she knelt to kiss Marie's hand while her male es- cort stood behind her with bowed head, • Little wonder the novelist was not amused when the following limerick was circulated: "There was a fair Siren of Strat, Who• narrated the Sorrows of Sat., She'd a gond. on the Av., She was everyone's fav,, Though she used Shake's trus- tees as a mat," Perhaps one of Marie's most ardent fans was. Sir Thomas Lip- ton, and she often went yachting with him, But during the , first World War this friendship land- ed her in a spot of bother, At her request Sir Thomas sent her quantities of sugar for jam -making and the incident was reported to the police. The re- sult appeared in prominent head- lines: MARIE CORELLI CON- VICTED OF FOOD HOARDING. She was fined £50 with twenty guineas costs, When Marie Corelli was fifty- one she fell in love with a well- , known artist who was already married. For her it was a deeply emotional affair, but to him no more than a passing flirtation, She was blissfully happy until he dropped her like a hot coal. Then she 'poured out her soul into her private journal. This was published, after her death, under the title: "Open Confes- sion, To a Man from a ltrr- fan," During this affair she was startled' one night by shots in her garden, A young man was arrested, the smoking revolver. still in his hand. He had fired through the window of Marie's music -room , , . "only to see Miss Corelli and bring her out to speak to me." He was found insane, and Marie sent his mother a generous cheque. In January, 1924, MarieCor- elli had a heart attack ' and, for four months, sat propped in a chair, One day she asked for a window to be opened: so that she might hear some children sing.' ing, and as a result she con- tracted congestion of the lungs, As actress Ellen Terry placed a wreath of lilies 'upon the grave of the woman whose :books had fascinated so many ' she was heard' to whisper, "God'bless the darling," How to 'Kok A Name foe -Baby Strange as it may seem, there are more ways of finding a name for baby than by calling a fam- ily conference, thinking about characters in films and fiction, or by sticking a pin in a list, For instance, what a Hindu in - font will eventually be called often depends upon the bright- ness of a flame. The mother's choice of name for her offspring is usually ap- proved, But if her husband de- sires something different, each suggestion is written on a sep- arate slip of paper. On the twelfth day after the birth, two lamps are placed over the two names, And the flame which burns more brilliantly de- notes which "label" the child shall bear. In Egypt, three pieces of paper resting under three wax candles are used in a similar ceremony. But, in this case, one of the three names under consideration is al- ways that of a god or martyr. And the candle which lasts the longest bestows a name on the little one, Mohammedans .have for cen- turies employed an even more unusual system, which prevents any possibility of argument. The five most favoured name suggestions, inscribed on separ- ate squares of paper, are placed between the pages of the Koran, the sacred book of the Moham- medans, Then after an interval a priest is invited to bless the book, ex- tract the final choice and reveal it to relatives assembled round the child. More curious still is a custom observed by the Ainos, inhabi- tants of Northern Japan, who do not name a child until he or she is five years old, When at last the auspicious day has dawned and the father gravely announces his decision, he also explains that he needed time to ponder over the problem! , In some Japanese regions a baby's name is' changed four times, with irregular periods in- tervening. This wily plan is adopted to confuse evil spirits who may be plotting to harm the youngster, In German•rural districts, too, parents are ie:ryejuslly on guar against adverse"riiifluences, an4 they always pick a fresh name for an intent who is stricken with serious illness, It is generally believed that the new choice will bring better health to the unfortunate mite. European gipsies declare that a baby should never be named af- ter a dead brother or sister. Ac- cording to ancient Romany lore, parents who are foolish enough to do so are inviting bad luck. The Chinese have the oddest notions of all when selecting a name for junior, In certain provinces if asked how many offspring he has, the Chinese father of a boy and a girl replies, "I have only one child." This extraordinary viewpoint is explained by the fact that baby girls are regarded as infe- rior to boys, Therefore, they are not considered worthy of a proper name, but are simply re- ferred to One, Two, Three or Four, according to their order of arrival on earth, HARD TOP- Yep, that's a fur- ' ban she's wearing — turban squash, that is.
