My fiance and I are 23 and we've dated over a year, but his circumstances make marriage something we must wait years for. • 1 simply cannot bear to keep on seeing him, knowing I'll be nearly 30 before he is able to support a wife. "His father died recently, leav ing little but responsibilities, which my fiance has inherited He has a younger brother and sister who are still in school; he feels his first obligation is to them and his mother, and he must keep her .from worrying. I know them all and they are grand people, awfully sweet to me. He makes a good income but it takes nearly all of it to support the family. "We have talked things over, He thinks we should break the engagement (in fairness to me) but still date each other "If tit- engagement is ended. it will be the end for me. 1 am too deeply in !nye to be with him often with marriage so far of; the emotional strain is too much , . . I have a good psi. tion and wouldn't mind keeping it, but we both want a family, "I think he is fine to ne so loyal, but when I think of my own future I wonder whether I should wait indefinitely, not seeing him at all?

How, nice it would be if one could visit all the small fairs that are held from now to the end of October. Perhaps some people might say—"Why bother—one fair is much like another." With that I don't agree. True, every fair has more or less the same classes for competition and exhibits, There are cattle, pigs, poultry and horses; baking, sewing and fancy -work; trotting races and the midway. But yet there is • an individuality about wish fair that makes it a little different from any other fair. And of course each fair draws its main crowd from a different locality besides the regular attendants who make a practice of visiting each fah' within easy driving distance. Well, there was a show last Saturday that Partner and I would like to have gone to but we just couldn't as we had vis- itors that afternoon. However, we did have one good treat over the week -end --by nutting in an appearance at the Mili- tary Massed Band Concert at the Exhibition Grandstand Sunday night. We all went—Dee and Art, Bob and Joy -yes, and even Dave. Bob drove us down and brought us back home This is the eighth coni 'five year the Massed Band Concert has been held. Partner and I have always wanted to go but other years it did not seem worth the effort because there were always so many chores to do before we could get away, This year it is very different, What is there about Service bands that makes such a strong appeal to the imagination? How could anyone listen to the skirl of the bagpipes; watch the rhythmic swing •of the kilts of the Scottish regiments and re- main unmoved- Other bands too—bugle, trumpet and mass• ed brass hands—all had a spe- cial appeal.. Without a doubt military music is the hest re- cruiting agent .that ever exist. ed. One selection played last night by the Trutnpet Bands was "Unto the Hills", It was beautiful. I would have been quite happily had they played it over and over again. And then just before the "Last Post" the massed Military and Brass Bands played "Abide With Me," while a white cross mounted at the back of the platform was shown up in re- lief by the beam of a mauve - tinted spotlight. • Simultane- ously the Union Jack was low- ered from the Flag Staff. It must have been a proud but sorrowful moment for those who had lost a husband, sons, brothers or sweetheart in either of the two World Wars. We had wonderful seats half way up the grandstand, From that distance you wouldn't think it possible to recognize any one- person. But we did. As the Massed Pipe Band HANG YOUR SHIRT ON A KAPOK LIMB—That's what Ecuador's Ministry of Economics would have you do, as it announces that it is making Targe tracts of land available to those who would cultivate the living "general store'," hitherto harvested only from wild growth.. Bark is used in manufacture of twine, sacks, nets, hammocks and cloth. Hairlike fruit fibre, lighter than cotton, is used for stuffing floats, life preservers, cushions. Seed fiber, very elastic, far exceeds cork in floatation qualities and is used in lifesaving devices, clothing and upholstery. Seed also yields oil for soap making and feed cake for live- stock. The Kapok tree is said to be both rain and drought resistant, marched to the front of the Grandstand Partner exclaimed —"Look, isn't that Finlay out front?" Sure enough, it was one of our neighbour boys from over on the next concession, who belongs to the Lorne Scots Regiment. We knew him by his bearing and since he was one of the Drum Majors he was easy enough to spot—especial- ly as I believe he is over six feet in height. Well, it was a most enjoyable evening, even for Dave, For at least' half of the programme he was all eyes and ears, lis- tening entranced to the music —and when everyone else clap- ped, he clapped too, Eventually the sandman was all-powerful and Dave stretched out full length across his mother's and daddy's knees and went to sleep as peacefully .as if he were at home in his cot. But when we got to Dee's place he was wide awake again and joined our midnight snack party. Our babies were never allowed such privileges but present-day children seem to get away with it without apparently suffering any adverse consequences. 1 don't know how they do it. It is ridiculously warns again today—the "probs" are for 85— • and it was 90 yesterday. But you can't fool the birds. They know that the fall season is just around the corner. This morning there were four blue - jays in the apple tree just out- side our bedroom window, We have hardly seen or heard one all summer, And then I look- ed at the hydro wires down the lane, They were black for quite a distance because of the large number of starlings perch- ed there. When it gets to near sundown I notice other birds congregate in Large numbers before going to roost—a sure sign that fall is in the air. Another sign is well-filled fruit shelves in the basement. So hells me, I don't want to see another pear for quite awhile. Why they have to ripen a few at a time I'll never know. I had a bushel of Bartletts — and I was doing pears every day tor a week. Oh well, I expect they will taste pretty good when the time comes to eat them—and after all that is the main thing, LEMON SAUCE 3� cup granulated sugar 3 tablespoons BENSON'S or CANADA Corn Starch 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups water 2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons lemon juice 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind MIX sugar, BENSON'S or CANADA Com Starch and salt together in saucepan.

And the con• mon answer Is 1930. Probably that was the first year in which it was termed the "world series" but. facts are that an inter -league series dates away back into the 80's ltiodern baseball record hooks don't use the term "world series" in connection with inter -league series earlier than 1884, 'Ip that year Old (loss Radbourne, pitching his most famous brand of baseball, helped the National League. champ, Provi• dense, mow clown the Metropolitans of the American Asso• elation in a 3-0 series, These were the days of three strikes and six balls. In 1882 Cincinnati, having been barred from the National ,League previously, joined the American Association and won the title. But, on the authority of George Moreland in his book, "Balldom," and also of the late Al Spink, uncle of J. G. Taylor Spink of the Sporting News and author of "The National Game," world championship series did not begin until 1884. Both authorities credit Anson's Chicago team with playing its first "world series" with the St, Louis Browns in 1885 and its second series In 1886, These two sets of games really launched baseball on its "world cllamplonllip" career which has led to such immense popularity and to many "million dollar gates." In 1887, when St. Louis Browns played the Detroit team for the "world" championship, spectators witnessed for the first and only time an unusual batting spectacle The batsman was allowed FOUR strikes. This was done away with the next year. In 1886, the "world series" was bitterly fought for the very good reason that it was a winner -take -all arfair, unlike the winner -loser split that prevails in mere mo'lern times Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge SI., Toronto, • .* Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO Don't Start Packing For Trip to Mars Earthlings had better forget •about making reservations for rocket trips to the moon or Mars, according to a prominent Greek natural scientist. Prof. P. Santorinis of the Polytechnic School of Athens maintains that space travel at present is an "impossibility." "Would-be space travelers should unpack their baggage for, under present circumstances, there is no possibility of inter- planetary journeys," says the professor of physics. What human beings cannot combat, according to Professor Santorinis, is the danger of "meteorites" and 'cosmic dust," as well as cosmic "radiation." The meteorites and the cosmic dust, which fill the space be- tween • the various planets, would act as bombshells against the space ship used for the in- terplanetary journey. "There is no shield which could protect the space ship from cosmic dust and meteorites," he said. On the other hand, "cosmic radiation" cannot be adequately faced or estimated, he states. The problem of "gravity" of the human body, once it comes out of the earth's atmosphere and gravity, can bo solved only If the space ship revolved round Its axis, thus causing an "artifi- cial" field of gravity. What Professor Santorinis however, considers as possible Is the sending of an unmanned rocket into the stratosphere, and even as far as the moon, "with- out it being completely de- stroyed" before reaching the other planet. In connection with the ques- tion of launching smallunman- ned earth -circling satellites, Pro- fessor Santorinis says that this is feasible, but that such satel- lites would be "absolutely value- less" for military purposes. Modern Etiquette Q. flow should a woman be governed about rising from her chair to show respect to an older woman? A. �In most cases, she should rise for a woman more than double her own age. Much de- pends, of course, upon the "older woman." Older women who are trying to appear very young might resent any ,obvious show of deference, Old-fashion- ed, • comfortably , older women, on the other hand, would prob- ably like it very much. Q. When setting the table for dinner guests, where should the napkins be placed, if not direct- ly on the plates? A. At the left of the plates. Q. Should a man use his right or left (land when tipping his hat to a woman? A. Either hand, Q, When a woman's escort holds a door open for her, is it necessary for her to thank him? A. No; this courtesy should be taken for granted. However, if a stranger were to do this for her, she must, of course, say, "thank you." Land of Quietness Up The Saguenay "Remember, it is not to be played with, this river," said our outfitter in Tadoussac, "Thank you," I replied for Tam McCulloch and. myself. "One .must be as 'cautious with the Saguenay as with a lion." • So we pointed our canoe up- stream into the silent reaches of the untamed river on that morning of late summer. "What is this, another Hud- son?" Tam exclaimed as the headlands closed off civilization , behind us. "You'll see. It has the nobility of the Hudson as the Dutch ex- plorer's saw it, but for wildness the Hudson no more resembles it than a cat resembles a lynx" When the world was young, travel was discovery. The better THEIR NIGHTMARE ENDS—Dr. and Mrs, Sanford Marcus are joyfully reunited at Stockton, Calif., with their 11 -day-old in- fant son, Robert, who was kidnapped when two days old from a San Francisco hospital. The self-confessed kidnapper, Mrs. Betty Jean Benedicto, turned the baby over to a priest. part of travel is discovery still, the coming upon things which are essentially our own. So it was with us on that day of free- dom when each stroke of the paddle sped us where space once more became dominant in the mind. Perhaps our first discovery, or rediscovery, was the satisfaction of simplicity. Our world was horizontal water and perpendic- ular cliff beneath the arc of sky. Yet of these three lines and a little color, nature composed variations of infinite number and subtlety. Throughout the trip, planned for a week and stretch- ed into a fortnight, this simplici- ty gained in richness, the in- conceivable richness that hides itself from those who gulp • and run, writes T. Morris Longstreth in The Chirstian Science Moni- tor. One of the pleasantest dis- coveries on my part was finding how surely Tam had affianced himself to the people who had become a part, a sort of natural resource, of this noble region. I had forseen that my- friend, who has never been naturalized to haste, would appreciate the descendants ,of New France 'in the habitant households on the green shores. I knew that the Scots had ever felt an affinity with the Franks. But these French Canadians not only were Normans old style, in the re- moter places;' they had been purified of the superfluities of Europe by centuries of wilder- ness living Tam found himself quietly responsive and at' home whenever we beached our canoe to seek 'provision, We rediscovered stability at the same time. The fluidity of ' life at home sweeps everything into its current and threatens to wash , us into space. Anyone caught living where he was born is deemed hopelessly backward, an unawakened van Winkle. The , habitant, on the contrary, cher- ishes and clings to his hard-won acres, One of the little noted miracles is the quiet transforma- tion of labor into love. The necessary deed is remembered with -affection. The habitant's woodpile and garden, his dwel- ling and the road to it, become a part of him. A white church, a handful of neighbors housed in stone -solid homes instead of a contractor's speculation, are -his treasure. They served a prior instinct in my friend, reminding, him of his boyhood security. backed by the earth itself. 7"rue, the families overflowed. The young men sought work in the cities, and some were lost to mammon. But many carried •memories of fishing and hunting and singing together and the riu'e freedom of that life which ran hand in hand with the im- pulse of the heart. Best of all, at FUTURE TRANSPORT? -This is a model of the Frye F,1 cargo and passenger plane which may someday replace the DC -3, The plane, a prototype of one scheduled to fly next year, will have a 50 -passenger capacity and will operate from airports half the size 'required by DC -3's. they had know a close-knit family life that was at once a discipline and a contentment, Ode afternoon of thunder Tam and 1 were taken under the wing of the family Duchesneau. After a brief taste of Madame Duches- neau's• sovereignty, Tam whis- pered to me, "Now I understand matriarchy. It's monarchy with the democratic touch." Certainly Madame Duches- neau's subjects — husband and eleven children—revolved about the enthroned head with the neatness and assurance of the solar system. Her accent, when she wished something done, and at once, might have echoed le Roi Soleil. Her disposition sup- plied the sunlight of this ar- rangement, while her determin- ation provided the power. She delegated duties to every gradu- ate, of the cradle, yet I have never seen children happier or more cheerfully obedient. Wil- lingness was the orbit in which they moved. Astonishingly they were handsome, as the young who have the run of woods and waters tend to be, I doubt if all the agencies of reform could find a delinquent- juvenile in a day's travel along that austere river. • When the sun emerged, I noticed the older. boys putting their heads together. The ques- tion that came shyly was this: Would my friend and I like to go fishing? "The gentlemen will not en- joy the flies," Madame Duches- neau said definitely. The look of breathless anticipation in the young eyes faded, but I had to agree with her. For another thing, we redis- covered. quiet. 'This heavenly realization .had begun the first evening under canvas, We had pitched the tent near the dark- ening river. At our backs rose the twofold night of the forest, and farther back the cliffs. "The final luxury," Tam sigh- ed. "To be safe from noise." Actually the air was busy carrying sounds — the lap and splash of the tidal waters, the crackle of sparks from our fire, the flow of wind in the trees, and at intervals the night cry of some bird or thud of falling boulder. I knew what Tam meant. At home our daily life had been more and more in- vaded by the noise of contrap- tions; in my case, to the satura- tion point. "What makes it hard to bear," Tam went on, "is that you and I remember a life when quiet was the normal thing and noise was occasional. Now it's nearly continuous from one quarter or another, and more airplanes blast the quiet overhead every year." • "With one it's not only the noise but the outrage," I agreed. "If a thief invades my privacy and steals something, the police do what they ca1T, But when no- body else's racket occupies my . hone, the law throws up its hands. Yet it is a thief, too. This situation violates my sense of justice." Tam knew what concerned me, for quiet is a pool in whose' calm; elusive thoughts can rise to the,top. Quiet is the arena of future deeds. There is immensely more in us than we are aware, and quiet is the invitation for it to appear. "Madame Duchesneau ,would know how to handle it" Tam said. "Perhaps you and I are children all over again in this life of machines and must be disciplined. 13y ourselves, I sup- pose , "Meanwhile there Is this," I said, Tam made no rejoinder and we let the quiet flow about us.

Now Bavarian jukebox manu- facturers have got the answer, They can please both types of customers — and suffer no loss of revenue. In other words, you can now place 30 pfennigs (about fourpence) in the juke- box and buy —,,three minutes of silence. • • "The more tranquil - minded deserve a break, just as much as music fans," says an official of one company, "so each ma- chine now has, in addition to its quota of popular tunes, an 'in- termission record' which runs off noiselessly." People who dislike music with their meal can be seen hurrying to the jukebox to insert their phoney and secure a short spell of silence before someone else causes the air to be filled with the wails of their favour- ite crooner. So, both ways, business is good for the Bavarian jukebox hogs. Fewer Nipples Canadian firms made 217,767 dozen nipples and soothers in 1953 as against 417,006 dozen in 1952.

Writing a column such as this, which runs in a large number of papers circulated over a vast area, has its problems. If I pub- lish recipes calling for a refrig- erator, letters are sure to come in saying — in effect — • "all very fine but where do you get the refrigerator." On the other hand, recipes calling for plenty of room, plenty of eggs and butter, and plenty of mouths to do the eat- ing, elicit the query of how to use them in a two room flat, * * * So today you urban folks with all the conveniences needn't read any further, be- cause the next few paragraphs describe how to make -a practi- cal basement vegetable room. And if you should want detailed plans for its construction they may be had — free — by writ- ing to the Dominion Experi- mental Farm, Swift Current, Sask. Information on temperatures and general conditions for stor- ing vegetables, jams, jellies and fruits are available in bulletins and pamphlet form. But fre- quently the problem remains of providing the recommended conditions for proper storage. This is especially true in the average household basement, Too often the temperature is much too high and the condi- tions genearlly much too dry. * * * To provide the proper storage/. conditions it is often necessary to build a special insulated and ventilated storage 'room in one corner of the basement, Insula- tion of the walls and ceiling of This room is necessary for the proper control of•'temperature. In planning the location it is best to include a basement win- dow. If one of the panes of glass is removed, the opening can be used as an outlet ventillator.

It was killed on Unimak Island in the Aleutians. Ito dow pane, This should be pro- vided with a slide control on the inside, * * An ideal location for the in= take ventilator is at basement floor level, This involves cut- ting a hole through the base- ment wall. The intake shaft should lead down the outside of the basement wall and enter the storage room at floor level, This type of intake insures that the air entering the room will be cooled by passing through sev- eral feet of soil before entering the room, It is not always pos- sible to provide this type of in- take, A less satisfactory, but neverthele','serviceable intake, can be provided by making use of an additional pane of the basement window, In this case the shaft should enter the base- ment window and then turn downwards at 90 degress and be extended almost to floor level, It is essential that this shaft, which is wholly within the storage room, should be in- sulated if it is to function prop- erly as an intake, Insulation can be provided by boxing the shaft in with three-quarter inch.:in- sulation board. Here again a silde control is necessary at the bottom of the shaft. * * * In addition to the insulation of both walls and ceiling of the storage room, better results will be attained if an insulated door is used, This can be made by using two sheets of five -six- teenths inch plywood nailed to a frame: Insulation batts can be used to insulate this door. Another method of making the door is to nail three-quarters inch insulation board to a one- half or three-quarters inch ply- wood panel, The necessary stor- age bins and shelves can be built around the walls. * * * The storage room described above can provide reasonably cool temperatures even in hot weather,, provided it is on the north or north-east corner of the basement, In many cases it will still be necessary in addition to provide such storage aids as ver- miculite, peat moss or fine sand. These can be kept slightly dampened to prevent vegetables from drying up and shrivelling; A further suggestion is that vegetables can be thoroughly washed and placed in the mod, ern plastic bags which are read- ily available today.

As Venus and Mars Look Tow-- " Earth Earth is of all the planets, onr, .,,s approaching it in this respect. But Venus has no satellite, and the Earth - Moon system forms a double world of a type found nowhere else among the planets, Its mode of formation is a mystery still, but it is known that when Earth was molten the Moon cir- cled at only a fraction of its present distance, and raised gi- gantic tides in the plastic sub- stance of its companion. As a result of these internal tides, the crust of the Earth is rich in heavy metals—far richer than that of any other of the planets: They hoard their wealth far down within their unreach- able cores, protected by pres- sures and temperatures that guard them from man's depre- dations. So as human civiliza- tion spread outward from Earth, the drain on the mother world's dwindling resources steadily increased, The light elements existed on the other planets in unlimited amounts, but such essential me- tals as mercury, lead, uranium, platinum, thorium and tungsten were almost unobtainable. For many no substitutes existed; their large-scale synthesis was impractical, , . . modern tech- nology could not survive with- out them. It was an unfortunate situa- tion, and a very galling one for the independent republics on Mars, Venus and the larger sat- ellites, which had now united to form the Federation. It kept them dependent upon Earth, and prevented their expansion toward the frontiers of the so- lar system. Though they had searched among the asteroids and moons, among the rubble left over when the worlds were farmed, they had found little but worthless rockand ice.

Not many serious people could be found who regarded it as a real possibility. Now the picture has changed. Heinz IIaber, a leading space -travel authority, has written re- cently: "To -day we have reach- ed a point where we can look forward to an early realisation of space flight." Why has there been this change of outlook? Much of the credit must go to the Germans who developed rocket missiles during the last war. In a few short — and grim — years they showed the possibilities of rocket propulsion. The Americans went on from there, /and have de- spatched since a rocket 250 miles up into the atmosphere at a speed of 5,000 m.p.h. This achievement especially whetted the world's appetite for more information, The result is that to -day scientific writers— Arthur Clarke, von Braun, and Willy Ley among others — are becoming as familiar as the men who once wrote on aviation be- fore that, too, was regarded as a reasonable possibility. Alongside these developments, the astronomers have been pro- viding us with more and more in formation. The astronomer occupies a privileged place in these specu- lative days of space travel. He is the man who -alone can give potential space voyagers some idea of what will be found when their rockets soar out and away beyond the Earth's atmosphere into the limitless expanses of the Universe. Much of this information in- evitably is little more than cal- culated guesswork, since it is based on observation alone. The astronomer now waits for the rocketeer of the future to bring him back confirmation of his present-day theories. Among the astronomers, the name of Fred Hoyle is probably the most widely known by the - many people. Hoyle will be remembered as the man who gave a startling series of broadcasts some years ago entitled "The Nature of the Universe," They struck a chord of interest throughout Great Britain and overseas. Now comes 'his latest book, "Frontiers of Astronomy. In it he gives some idea of the im- mense scope awaiting explora- tion of rocket pioneers. Consider first our more imme- diate neighbours, Around our Sun revolve nine planets: Mer- cury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupi- ter. Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Together they make. up what- is known as the Solar planetary system, Of these, Earth apart, only Mars seems likely from present observations to have life of some sort on its surface. Although no animal life can be ascertained, most astronomers agree that plant life exists there, and that, in appearance, many parts of Mars would be much like Earth. Revolving around six of these nine .planets are statellites. In the case of Earth there is just one, the Moon. Jupiter has twelve such moons and Saturn nine. What lies beyond this, our planetary system? Fred Hoyle states that, in his belief, there are 100,000 million similar sys- tems in the Universe. This colos- sal figure takes no account of the systems that must exist beyond the range of our most. powerful telescopes. What are the chances of life in these other planetary sys- tems? "Living creatures must be rather common in the Universe," comments Hoyle. Ire disagrees with the theory that life on Earth is all a fabu- lous accident, The formation of our planetary system around the Sun was due to a series of natu- ral and explainable events. "Nor," he says, "do the compo- sitions of the planets seem in the least to be a matter of chance, Rather do I think it would he somewhat surprising if anything very different had occurred in any of the other planetary 'systems." Since those other 100,000 mil- lion planetary systems were formed in inuch the same way and under similar conditions as our own Solar system there must, logically, be life as we know it in the Universe ether than on Earth. Can this theory ever be con- firmed? Space travel seems to he a certainty of the future. Men will cruise in space around our own Solar system, But, on pre- sent calculations, it seems im- probable that they will ever meet there living creatures such as themselves. If, however, rocketeers could venture into others of those 100,- 000 million planetary systems, the chances of finding men in a familiar human form are high indeed. The inevitable stumbling block is a man's own life span. It has been estimated that, with exist- ing or potential forms of fuel and power, the journey to the Moon will occupy five days. Venus, a distance of 26 million miles from Earth, could be reached in about 150 days. But contemplation of farther distances fades into dreams. The nearest planetary system to our own is called Proxima Centauri. It has been estimated that to reach it would require a journey lasting 70,000 years. (One writer's estimate is 130000 years.) The question, then, is unan- swerable. No pian would ever want to live that long. And the, fiction writers can proceed, se- cure in the knowledge that they can never be disproved, if not in a million years, in at feast '10,000.

The call went out for produce of dam in the Spotted Poland China class. Several exhibitors entered the ring with their animals. As judging was about to begin, Wil- lis Bradford walked in with an armful of 11 -day-old piglets, set them down.and waited for the judges to declare -him the winner. Spectators laughed and the judges looked concerned. When they questioned Bradford's right to bring in the little pigs, he told them to look in the rule book. They looked at the rule for produce of dam and found someone had erroneously added a date providing that animals entered in that class must have been farrowed "on or.after Aug. 1, 1955," So techni- cally,Bradford's piglets were the only ones eligible tor, the class, Amid laughter, Bradford removed his animal, and judging proceeded on "intent," not the "letter" of the law.

L. C, Curtis, of the Canada Department of Agriculture In- sect Laboratory, has made a study of the biology and control of black flies and other biting insects affecting livestock, He describes them as quite small, heavy -bodied flies, mostly black, but some red in colour and gen- erally with a hump -backed ap- pearance, • • • They begin to emerge in mid- June and are on the wing until the frost in the fall, He estimates there are 30 different species of black flies in British Columbia. * 4 1. Black flies invariably require moving water, often rapidly moving water for part 'of their cycle, Eggs are laid in late sum- mer on leaves, trailing vegeta- tion, or rocks. The eggs hatch in the spring into worm -like lar- vae and remain attached to the rocks, feeding on minute par- ticles which they strain from the water, When fully developed they spin a little slipper -shaped silk cocoon attached to twigs or rocks, After some time' is spent in this stage, the fully developed adults split open the pupa case and escape to the surface in an air bubble, then fly off in search of blood. • * * For control purposes, the lar- val stage in water is the weak link in the insects life cycle for the larvae can be easily killed by adding DDT to the water at the rate of one part in 10 million for 15 minutes. * • * For example, a stream one foot deep, 20 feet wide, and 500 feet long could be treated with , one ounce of DDT, and this body of water passing downstream would kill all larvae that it con- tacts, Care must be taken to regulate the dose of DDT to avoid harm to fish. The fish, however, can stand about four times the dose required to kill the black fly. * * * Field men applying control measures must measure the stream flow and apply the pro- per amount of DDT. Each tribu- tary of the stream must be treat- ed right to its source, sometimes difficult in • ro u g h country. Blanket treatment by aircraft is effective, but quite expensive.

It is quite otherwise in some other coun- tries - a fact vividly brought home to the 'reader in the re- cently published book "A Cure for Serpents," by Alberto Denti de Pirajno. Alberto is an Italian doctor who served in the African parts of the Italian Empire prior to and during the last war. For the most part he looked after the health of the local tribes, but • more than that he lived among his patients, and grew fully to understand them as few. white men ever do. Two stories he tells of the gratitude shown by patients illustrate how success- ful he was in being accepted as a friend by chiefs of two proud tribes, The first story concerns Fat- tuma and her father, head of the Qouafi tribe. The Qouafi had been in revolt against the Ita- lians, but had recently with- drawn from the conflict to see how the land lay, It was, ,there- fore, with some curiosity and trepidation that Alberto set out on receiving an urgent summons from their chief to go and cure his daughter. The Italian was expecting to find an arrogant and violent chieftain, Instead, he saw an old man bowed down with worry and fear, On a mat on the floor lay his daughter, scarcely re- covered from 'a night of delir- ium, her glazed, dark -ringed eyes staring 'sightlessly into space. "Water," she murmured through cracked lips, and as Alberto bent to examine her she added: "My, head hurts . , ." Her mother gripped the doctor's arms and told hinr how Fattuma had lost • a lot of blood from the nose. 'She couldn't• under- stand, she said, how it was that the evil spirits hadn't ,left with it. Dr, de Pirajno .soon came to the conclusion that the evil spirits in this case were the germs of typhoid or paratyphoid fever. The girl was treated ac- cordingly. She recovered. The mother wept, the. father raised his hands in prayer, "Praise be to Cod, Lord of the worlds! The Compassionate, the . Merciful . Allah had willed that his daughter should live, and five camels waited outside Alberto's tent to take him back to the city. The sequel cane three years later. During siesta time In the . hottest part of the year; Dr. di . Pirajno was awakened one day by his manservant, who told him that there was an Arab to see him. Wearily. he. got up and received his visitor, a tall, lean Bedouin warrior ,with . delicate features and dark, velvety 'eyes. The flowery greetings common to .the Arabs were. exchanged. Eventually the warrior got round to giving Alberto a letter from the chief,' -Greetings to our Lord Pirajno, the physician,. May God have him in his keeping, Amen, With regard to the following, so that your health is good, by the mercy of God and His bles- sing, we ask a good word . from you by your' grace. Who. brings you this is our honoured friend All of the.Ulad Shelman, son of the pilgrim Mansur, God protect him. Now he desires to marry my . daughter, who 13 our only is- sue. We aro satisfied, and may God's will be done. But although Allah gave a daughter, he also permit you to give her a second 1i when death was upon her. So we ask that you listen t0 the request and tell us if the prayer for the betrothal may be said, And we wait for your decision. And God be with you, Di Pirajno was touched. What doctor had ever been rewarded in so princely a menner? He gave his blessing and a wed- ding present. The warrior seized his hand and kissed it with ve- hement gratitude and rode off. Di Pirajno had had official dealing with him, and in course of conversation had mentioned that he was a doctor, whereup- on the aged prince had embraced him most enthusiastically and somewhat uncomfortably. A month later the prince's inter- preter arrived at Alberto's of- fice with a message saying that his master was dying and wished to see him before he' breathed his last. The doctor rushed to the prince's palace, to find him ltiy- ing almost naked on a couch. A' girl was curled up behind him to serve as a bolster, another held his head up, while a third and fourth massaged his fore- arms vigorously as though they were kneading bread. Quickly Alberto diagnosed lo- bar pneumonia, and soon' the prince w a s unceremoniously wrapped in blankets and on his way to the local hospital in an ambulance. Within a few weeks he had completely recovered, and then di Pirajno had to ex- perience the prince's gratitude. It started off tamely enough with,. an invitation to a banquet. Fortunately the doctor had a prodigious appetite and a weak- ness for zighini, the Abyssinian stew made with red pepper. Half -way through the meal the dancing -girls came on, and a guest called on one of the girls to sing in honour of the doctor, She came before him and im- provised a song. She trembled before a lion, she sang, a gentle lion because . he smiled at her, but a lion nevertheless—because he had been eating for four hours without a pause. Di Pirajno need not have been embarrassed; big eaters earned respect in Abyssinia. He rose, and in the flowery language of the region thanked the singer, complimenting her on her beau- ty and on her voice, That's where he made' his mistake. The next day he re- ceived a gift from the prince —the singer. Regretfully Alberto -declined; the Viceroy didn't allow wom- en in his residence, . he said. Three weeks later -he returned home to hear a shattering roar which vibrated all his windows. In his house, held by two keep- ers, was 'a leopard, another gift from the prince to keep him company: He disposed of that by calling in the police chief to put the leopard and keepers into an empty shed. Later he pre- sented the animal to a native battalion as a mascot. Obsessed with the doctor's supposed loneliness, the prir.ce next sent him a repulsive mon- strosity of a deformed hunch- - back who went under the name of "My Joy." He was the prince's own court jester, and sang in a high voice, jumped on the fur- niture, grabbed Alberto to make him dance with him. snapped at his legs under the table, and generally went to all lengths to make him laugh. But di Pir- ajno couldn't ' bear to be near him, and ordered him to b? kept in the servants' quarters. 'Alberto was saved from fur- ther marks of the prince's grat- itude by returning home to Italy But he had gathered a wealth of amusing and touching stories, and a great insight into the strange ways of the people of Italian Africa, all of which he has set down in "A Cure for Serpents" R. Barclay Warren, 13.A., B.D. The World Into Which Jesus Came Luke 2:1-14 Memory Selection;' Fear n for, behold, I bring you got tidings of great joy, which sh be to all people, Luke 2:10. For the next six months we shall be studying the Gospel of Luke, and for three months more the book of Acts, These books were written by Luke, the physician, a companion of Paul, The Gospel of Luke gives us our most complete picture of Christ. It is a little longer than Matthew. Sixteen parables and six miracles are peculiar to this Gospel. Luke was writing for a Gentile official, and no doubt with a larger Gentile audience in view. Luke himself was a Gentile of Greek culture. He passes over those elements in Christ's teaching which had particular reference to Jewish ideas and interests and dwells upon the aspects of Christ which Gentiles can readily un- derstand. The little country to which Jesus came was about 120 miles in length from north to south and with an average width from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River of about '40 miles. The people were under tribute to the Roman Emperor, The Greek language was widely known and it was in this lan- guage that most of the New Testament writers wrote. The life of Jesus here began as a miracle, He was born of a virgin. He was literally the Son of God and the Son of Man. This is most important. If we do not grasp this truth we may well doubt the record of mira- cles which follows. But know- ing that Jesus was the Son of God is a firm basis for faith;• faith not only to accept the rec- ord as true but faith to accept Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour. A learned professor of philosophy said recently that "It is too broad and empty a propo- sition to say that through a crucifled peasant, eternity is re- vealed in a unique way," He made this statement because he has not had the glorious revela- tion that this particular peasant was the Son of God. His unique entrance to this world was the first evidence -of it.. His resur- rection from the dead was the climaxing proof, Jesus Christ is the Son of God, ALL FOR HIS CATS A venerable French painter sat in a roadside cafe in Mont- parnasse stolidly munching bag after bag of potato chips, His luncheon companion watched disapprovingly and finally, con- sumed with curiosity, asked, "Why do you,eat so many potato chips?" The old man carefully shook out the crumbs, folded the Cel- lophane bags in which the po- tato chips had come, placed them in his pocket and said: "I do it for my cats. They just love to play with Cellophane." f Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking ©©011113 ©©11C]C70 ©©©1011© ©E7EI •; a ®©o E7©©DD ©©M ©- El 011© :®®oo ©MEI© ©a0©121130 ©©Oo© 121 ©Moa ®®�WZ 1 ©d 111t7 '©©0 E COO DIOEI ©©IID©0©0©• 12100 ®©v©oo:.DD 3 EJ 0©©1:20 DOC%0© NEW SUB SEEKS RECORD DESCENT—With this special sub, in- ventor Edmund Martine, checking porthole, hopes to. travel into hidden underwater valleys and caves which lie deeper than man has ever been, The 50 -ton "Cetacean" is designed to cruise along the ocean floor more than five miles deep.
