"Mystery Prize" Won By
Reeve Morritt Following
Western ,Canada Trip
Aptly mined a "mystery" was a prise
recently awarcled Reeve William Mor -
silt, of Blyth, by members of the Ifuron
County Good Roads Committee at their
recent meeting.
The story goes that while Reeve
and Mrs, Morrill along with other
delegate were attending the Good
Roads Convention at Banff, Reeve
Morritt complained about his pipe, It
just didn't held enough tobacco.
At the meeting in Goderieh Warden
Earl Campbell and County Clerk -
Treasurer A. H. Erskine presented
Reeve Merritt with, a "mystery prize."
After much coaxing Reeve Morritt op-
ened the prize which was the answer
to his prayer -a large pipe capable of
holding almost a package of tobacco.
The box was well wrapped and label-
led with official looking stickers.
It may be that the prize is the result
of a lucky ticket held by Mr. Merritt,
who is still wondering how he came to
be the winner of the very item he so
earnestly had hoped ' for just a few
short weeks ago.

ANNE I-HPST
y�r r.itw csun..zt.-:
"Dear Anne Hirst, Seven years
ago when I was 15, I married
a man 10 years older, my parents
tried to dissuade me; but I
thought I knew everything.
Now we have a little girl, and it
is chiefly for her sake that I ask
your counsel , , . Her father has
been drinking for years (which
I did not know when we mar-
ried) and he is getting worse;
then he has physically mis-
treated me so that I am really
afraid.
"So far I have been able to
prevent her seeing or hearing
him at such times, but I don't
know whether I can keep that
up. Strangely enough, he is de-
voted to her and she to him . , .
He travels sometimes now, and
when he is home he drinks al-
most consistently. He tells peo-
ple I am a spendthrift, and that
I date men in his absence! He
gives me so little money (barely
enough to get along on) that I
am almost destitute of clothes
and must count every dime. The .
only places I go are to church
and an occasional movie with
my little girl,
"I would leave him, but 1
can't bear to separate the child
from him, even thought I expect
he will get worse as he grows
older. Yet how can I let her dis-
cover what sort of father she
has? I must do something soon,
and I will do anything you say.
MISERABLE"

ROYAL BRIDE SAID
"NO" BY MISTAKE
Amid the glittering splendour
of the Coronation ceremony a
princess in the simple grey habit
of a nursing order sat in one of
the honoured central seats of the
royal box and gazed down lov-
ingly at her only son, the Duke
of Edinburgh, and at his wife,
our youthful_ Queen.
Most people imagine that tlie
Duke of Edinburgh's mother,
11,11.11. Princess Alice of Greece,
is Grecian by, birth. But the
truth is that she was born in .
Windsor Castle as a ranking
great-granddaughter of Queen
Victoria , . . and Princess Alice
was soon adored as one of Bri-
tain's loveliest young princesses.
Her doting great-uncle, King
Edward VII, used to run his
hands through her soft, fair ring-
lets .and declare bluffly that no
throne in the whole of Europe
would be too good for her.
Her . father, Prince Louis of
Battenberg, ' was fully alive to-
the
'these
dynastic undertones of these
royal compliments.
• Alice passed her girlhood in a
happy though regal atmosphere.
There were visits to cousins in
Russia,exciting holidays against
a backgroundof jolly sleigh -bells
and glistening snow. There were
tours through Germany, an end-
less succession of balls and
parties.
And of course there were
plenty of matchmakers among
her aunts and uncles, some hope-
fully linking ,Alice with the fu-
ture Tsar of Russia, others dis-
cussing prospects in Sweden, and
Prussia.. Then, unpredictably,
when barely eighteen, brown -
eyed Princess Alice'fell in love
with handsome Prince Andrew
of Greece.
He was just twenty-one years
old, tall, fair-haired, as strikingly
good-looking as the Duke of Ed-
inburgh is today. Princess Alice
was unable to speak a word of
Greek; Andrew's English was
halting. But with the 'blithe as-
surance of youth he made his
hopes and passions known.
The betrothal, required the
King's consent under the Royal
Marriages Act, and Edward VII
wanted it fully emphasized that
the bride was a British subject
As a result, the shy ash -blonde
princess had to undergothree
marriage ceremonies.
One was civil, another Protes-
tant, The third, and most 'pie-
turesque, ceremony was held ac-
cording to the rites of the Greek
Orthodox Church in the lovely
old cathedral church at Darm-'
stadt, By this time, it is not to
be wondered at if the bride was
a little confused!
During the service, the .priest
had to ask her two questions —
whether she consented of her
own free will to marry Andrew
Or whether she had promised her
hand to someone else..
In some perplexity Alice. mur-
mured "No" to the first question,
and "Yes" to the second, and a
ripple of amusement ran through
the congregation,
As the pair drove away for
their honeymoon, royal guests In
their tiaras, ribbons and stars
began to run after the carriage,
clutching paper bags of rice and
. confetti. To a startled posse of
German police, the paper bags -
looked like bombs. And they,
too, joined in the rush!
The Emperor of Russia spied
a short cut through the crowd,
and putting his head down, ram-
med his way through the cheer-
ing people. Just as she Was bow-
ing her acknowledgments, Alice
received the contents of a bag of
rice full in the face, followed by
a satin slipper, . Catching the
slipper, she hit the Emperor
over the head with it, then re-
sumed her seat with an idyllic
smile.
If one lingers over this amus-'
ing scene, it is because the sands
were running out. Though so
happily begun, Princess Alice's
married life was to be fraught
with danger and tragedy.
When she was blessed with
four delightful daughters, no wo-
man in all the world was hap-
pier. Once, during a family re-
union in Malta, she met • her
youngest brother, now Earl
Mountbatten, and as a young
naval cadet he cheekily ex-
pressed indignation at having
been made four times an, uncle
before he was fourteen years'
old!
But the , storhr clouds were
gathering, Her father-in-law,
King George 1 of Greece, was
assassinated at point-blank range
by a madman in the -streets of
Salonika, and . Andrew's elder '
brother,' Constantine, assumed

longer because the plumber was

our smoke pipes rotted. Fifteen
lengths and four elbows, as our
pipes go right through the
house. We have since heard of
quite a few people in this dis-
trict who had furnace pipe
trouble. Why should that be?
Was it the humidity this sum-
mer, or was it because most of
the coal last year was oil -treat-
ed to prevent dust? We are in-
clined to think it was the oil
which produced some sort of
chemical reaction on the pipes.
Be that as it may we under-
stand the use of oil has been
discontinued. The explanation?
Customers were objecting to the
oily odour that permeated their
'homes,
But to get- back to the fair.
Friday afternoon there was a
drenching rain and the "probs"
did not sound too good for the
morrow. But the weatherman
was kind, The day was com-
fortably warm and sunny. There
was a wonderful attendance
and something, somewhere, go-
ing on all the time. Local fairs

they used to be. In fact it is

all very good—but do you know
what impressed me most? Just
the terrific amount of work and
planning that had preceded the.
day of the fair. IIow many
people who do no more than
pay their way In realise how
hard the directors work to make
their own particular fair a suc-
cess, A successful fair doesn't
just happen, It is the result of
weeks and weeks of careful
thought and planning and in-
tensive activity just before and
during the fair. And all a labour
of love. The same applies to the
organiations that set up refresh-
ment booths as a means of
bringing in a little money for
their W.I., W.A., or whatever
organization they happen to re•
present. Working in cramped
quarters isn't easy—nor is the
catering. Which will be the
best seller --hot dogs or pop?
What the public demands de-
pends on the day—and no one
can plan the weather. So I say
hats off to the directors, the
exhibitors, the caterers and to
all those who in any way help
to make the local fair a success.
And this applies to all fairs. not
to any one fair -in particular.
But of course the exhibits and
various events are not the •only'
attractions, There are also the
people you meet. Time after
time you hear—"Well, for good-
ness sake, I haven't seen you
in years" And do you know. 1
am beginning to believe it is
a very small world. I mel one
of our District VJ,I. officers at
the fair who informed me the
• last time she saw me was at
Montreal hurrying across the
runway to board a plane for
Prestwick. So you see it doesn't
matter how far you are from
home you can never be sure
there isn't someone around who
knows who you are. I'm telling
you, folks, you have to watch
your step these days in this lit-
tle old world of ours!
Well, there is quite a bit of ,
excitement among the • farmers
around here these days. The
Department of Highways is re-
putedly checking un its last sur-
vey for highway 401; which
cuts through. our farm. When
this check-up is completed it
is said valuators wiil be mak-
ing' the rounds. So now the
local Federation of Agriculture
is holding a series of sritatt
meetings among the landowners
concerned to establish some sort
of protective policy. Partner fs

The Nike guided missile is

main object is to guard Ameri-
can cities against enemy jet,
'planes carrying H- or A-bombs.
Like a bulldog, the Nike never
lets go.
Fired against a hostile 'plane,
the Nike makes for it unerring-
ly, its target acting like a mag-
net to it. No matter how the
aircraft may twist and turn, the
Nike will get it and blow it to
pieces. And in falling to earth,
any A-bomb carried will not
explode without its fuse,
The defence plan, referred to

ies.
Vital Difference
The Defence Early Warning •
Line, the huge radar screen
now being built in the vicinity
Of the North Pole, will give the
United States a two-hour warn-
ing of the approachof- enemy
aircraft. The D.E.W, Line will
be reinforced by a number of
man-made 'islands "anchored"
to strategic points, Enemy air-
craft flying over American ter-
ritories will be attacked by Nike
batteries. '
•-But Americans have been told
by top-ranking experts that if
war comes within the next two
years they must be prepared for
the destruction of at least five
of their largest cities, and there
• may well be fifteen million
casualties.
Dr, 'Lapp, American nuclear
expert, has affirmed that enemy
pilots could make the Nike bat-
teries impotent by dropping
their nuclear bombs upwind, a
long, way from the cities and the
Nike batteries, ' and let the
radioactivity drift over the cit-
ies,
From the President down-
wards, everyone holding res-
ponsible office in the present
Administration takes theprob-
lems of defence very seriously.
A woman who has been allotted
a key job in civil defence said
to met "You people in Britain
have had experience of two
major wars, just as we in Amer-
ica have, but there is one vital
difference. We fought thou-
sands of miles away fromour
homeland, but on both occasions
you in Britain were in the front
line. You stood up to it, but

Plan C deals with general

Plan D covers general .mobil-

9,000 -Car Park
The name of the place where
everything appertaining ' to
American armed forces is plan-
ned is called the Pentagon.
Many millions have heard or
read about,it, but very few peo-
ple not employed there have
ever been allowed inside this
holy of holies—the nerve cen-
tre of America's defence organ-
ization.
The Pentagon is a five -sided,
five -storied building standing on
the River Potomac, a few miles
from .the city of Washington,
It's the ,largest government
building in the world. There is
the Mall Entrance and the
River Entrance. I . went in by
the River . Eentrance. On an
average day there are between
eight and nine thousand cars
parked here.
If Washington were attacked,
the plan is to' move these cars
out of the seventy atkes of
parking into an intricate road
net leading to highways. Driv-
ers would fill their cars with
passengers, including those who
normally travel by bus, and
start getting out of the Wash-
ington area. This part of the
programme was not tried out in
the June test when President
Eisenhower and his staff took
to the hills some miles from
Washington.
It is planned to move some
government departments as far
away as 300 miles—if war comes.
I am told that one afternoon
last winter when there was a
light snowfall, the Pentagon
staff, whose hours are usually
staggered, all started for home
at once. Some car drivers found
themselves still trying to get
out of Pentagon parking lots an
hour after they started up their
motors Some required another
two hours to reach home only
eight miles away.
At the entrances to the build-
ing stand the police security men
with revolvers on their hips,
some civilians, most probably
J. Edgar Hoover•'s G-men, and
a number of lounging Negro car
callers:
I opened the cedar -wood doors
unchallenged and found myself
in a long, but very narrow kind
of ante -room. More cedar wood
doors and then 1 reached a large
cool hall which reminded me of
a swank nursing home. A beau-
teous blonde sat behind a glass
counter on which' stood a large
bowl of exquisite flowers.
"Can I help you?" she smiled
sweetly, How utterly un warlike
all this is, I felt. . I stifled a de-
sire to ask if I ,might see the
patient in Ward X, and men-
tioned..the name of.the man with
whom I had an appointment!
The blonde consulted a list, then
handed me a chart of the build-
ing
with the number of the
floor, the ring, that's to say lo-
cation, the number of the corri-
dor, and -the number of the bay,
all marked with a red pencil
Each floor has a colour. First

MODERN VERSION — Carlo Col-
lodi's wooden puppet, "Pinoc-
chip," is being refashioned in
bronze by sculptor Emilio Greco,
shown in Rome finishing . the
chalk model. The modernistic
statue shows the puppet look-
ing up at the Blue -Haired Fairy,
his protector in the story known
by children of many countries,
A heron, topping the work,
symbolizes Pinocchio's change
into a real boy. Funds for the
statue which will stand in the
Gardens of Collodi in the au-
thor's home ' town of •Pe,scia,
Italy, were donated by children
from all over the world.

Looking more closely 1 saw
there was a lot of confabbing
going on. A pretty girl in naval
uniform had four young men
round her. Perhaps this has
something to do with the Red
Navy? I tried to lend an ear:

Great Singer Was
Great Actress, Too
We have seen that it was the
child's musical talent that, -first
evoked the wonder of her neigh-
bours. The stupor of the grand-
mother at the baby's fanfare on
the piano; the amazement of
the passers-by at the song
which was being confided to the
ears of the patient and appre-
ciative cat; the tears that start-
ed to the eyes of Croelius —
these are the earliest signals of
her marvelous gifts. But we,
now, have to recognize a . new
characteristic, which was almost
more phenomenal than 'her
singing. Indeed, it may well be
doubted whether, during her
first ten years at 'the' Royal
Theatre, it did not surpass her
voice in witnessing to the pres-
ence in her of a unique genius.
This was her dramatic power.
Precocious and extraordinary as
her child -voice had been, both
in versatility and in tenderness,
yet her early woman's voice did
not, at first, exhibit or develop
its after -gifts of high sonor-
ity. , .
In later years, those, who
heard her sing in opera, would
often say, that if she had not
been the greatest singer in the
world, she would have been the
'greatest actress. And we shall
see the evidence for the truth of
this anticipation, if we glance
over all the early records of
her performance at the theatre;
and we shall, also, understand
through what years of actual
experience it was that she had
obtained that thorough mastery
over all the detail and method
of the stage, which made her
acting so consummate.
The long list of her perfor-
mances, kept in the records of
the Royal Theatre, reveal to us
that already, in the very first
year of her admittance to the
• school, as a little child of ten
years old, she made her ap-
pearance on the boards, on No-
vember 29, 1830, in a play call-
ed "The Polish Mine," described
as a "Drama, with Dance,"
The first of January 1837,
marks a new departure. Accord-
ing to the contract of 1833, with
the mother, the Directors were
to decide at what date Jenny
Lind should be given a fixed
salary, as actress at the Royal
Theatre, Hitherto the money
paid her by the Directors has
been simply an arrangement for
her keep. She has performed,
on their behalf, under this ar-
rangement one hundred and
eleven times,. besides her , ap-,.
pearances, at• concerts. It is now
considered time to give her ` a
fixed and salaried position, after
which she is still bound, by the
original contract, to be in the
service of the Directors for ten
years, if they require it of her.
— From "Jenny Lind, The Art-
ist," by Henry Scott Holland
and W, S. Rockstro.

made In the Junior Farmer program
for 1055-16 when the Directors of the
Ander Farmers' Associntion of Ontario
mel In the Parliament Buildings, To-
ronto, on Sept, 261h, The Public Speak-
ing, Debating and Choir competitions
were discussed, as well as a program
for Leadership Training Set -bets,
One decision concerned the eligibility
rule which stntes that participants In
projects sponsored by the Provincial
Association must not have reached their
20th birthday by Dccelnber 31st of
the current year and must be members
of the Junior Farmer.' Association
of Ontario for 1055 - 56. Theso
rules brought into force at the various
District Field Days this past summer
had occasioned some discussion and
disappointment. The decision that
these rules would apply to such pro-
jects ns the Public Speaking, Debating
land (°hoar competitions was upheld. but
only after considerable discussion:
A new regulation in tin Public
Speaking Competition requtrd that 1pa,
cal clubs sponsor a competition to det.r-
beth McGavin and Ronald E. Ryrle,
Seaforth District High School; Robert
Dobson and Don Ballantyne, of the
South Huron District High School, Exe-
ter; mounted •plows, for Huron county
residents only, Hugh Simpson, White-
church; Bill Storey, Scaforth; tractor

perial 011 for the best plowed land in
the field went to an R.R. 3 Clinton man,
Lorne Ballantyne.
mine entrants in the county competl•
tion, This change was made to en-
courage more participation at the local
level. A number of the directors ex-
plaiied that while they hail always had
good competition at the county level,
it would be difficult to secure suffi-
cient entries to make a competition in
each local club,
A complete change was announced In
the Provincial Debating Competition.
Last year counties participating were
required to enter one team or two
members, debating a different topic
each round" This year the inter -uni-
versity system will be introduced,
Under this system, each county par-
ticipating will provide two teams of
two members each, one to debate the
affirmative and the other the negative.
In preliminary rounds, One of these
teams will travel to a neighbouring
county while the other will debate at
home on the same topic and preferably
on the same evening. Three judges
will be required for each debate. The
county whose teams secure the majority
of the six judges' votes will be declar-
ed the winner. Should the result be
a tie, the decision will be made on
points, the county whose two ' teams
make the higher aggregate score being
declared the winner: If the tie is still
unbroken, a new debate will be held•
The new system means that fewer
topics will be required for 'preliminary
rounds since the same topic can be us-
ed, It follows that less preparation will
be required of the debaters, Less time
will be required between some of the
rounds and the preliminary schedule
can be completed faster.
Past President Carl Boyton, outlined

the new procedure for the Choir com-
petition. For the first time, the Junior
Farmer Choir Concert has been placed
on a competitive basis. This competi-
tion will be held in Toronto on Janu-
ary 7th along with the finals in the
Public Speaking, Quartet and Trio
competitions. In order to encourage
participation, the competition has been
divided Into two sections: Section 1 to
Include choirs from counties with a
Junior Farmer membership of 200 or
less; Section 2 to include choirs from
counties having more than 200 mem-

Seed Grades Tightened
To Check Weed Spread
Grade standards for Alfalfa, clover
and grass seeds have been greatly
strengthened by reducing the maximum
number of; weed seeds as much as 250
percent In some cnses, It has been an-
nounced by the. Canada Department of
Agriculture,
The maximum weed seed content of
Registered No, 1 seed of all clovers and
grasses has been reduced from 25 to 10;
Registered No. 2 and Certified from 50
to 25; and No. L seed from 100 to 75.
Corresponding reductions have been
Imade in the Registered 2 and 3 grades,
Certified 2 and Number 2 seed,
The total weed seed content of seed
wheat, oats, barley and some other
crops has been reduced from 25 to 15
for No. 1 grade and from 50 to 30 for
No. 2 grade.
A. H. Martin of the Field Crops
Branch, Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture, in commenting on these changes
said, "Farmers groups, County Coun-
cils and Weed Control Workers have
been urging a general tightening of

seed grades for some time and will
welcome these changes. Far too many
weeds are going into the ground
through seed drills and the strength-
ening of the seed grades will be of
considerable assistance in retarding the
spread of bad weeds as impurities in
the grades of seed."
Canada Seed Regulations do not al-
low any pri►nary noxious weed seeds
in grades known as Registered 1, 2 and
3; Certified 1 and 2; and No. 1 seed.
Fourteen weeds are included in the
list of primary noxious weeds seeds,
Some of these are Bladder Campion,
Couch Grass, Great Ragweed, Oxeye
Daisy, Perennial Sow Thistle, Toad
Flax, White Cockle, Wild Mustard and
Yellow Rocket which has been reclas-
sified from a secondary noxious to a
primary noxious weed.
The Seed Grade Regulations apply
with minor variations In all provinces
of Canada,

Automobile safety features received
particular emphasis at Toronto on Sept,
20th, at Chrysler of Canada's special
dealer preview of its all-new line of
passenger cars for 1056,
Approximately 1,000 dealers and
members of their staff from various
parts of the province visited the new
car displays held throughout the day
at the C.N.E. Horticulural Building. The
two lines of passenger cars were shown
separately, Chrysler -Plymouth in the
afternoon and Dodge -DeSoto in the ev-
ening, Showings were highlighted by
a specially produced stage presenta-
tion, receptions at which dealer repre-
sentatives met senior officials of the
company, luncheon and dinner.
The dealers were getting a first look
at the much talked about 'Flight -Sweep'
body designs and push button controls
for the PowerFlite automatic trans-,
mission, new engineering developments
and significant safety features.
The push button drive is standard on
all Chyrsler of Canada cars equipped
with PowerFlite automatic transmis-
sions and is located on the left of the
steering wheel. The selector unit,
mounted on the instrument panel, con-
sists of buttons for neutral, low, drive
and reverse, all illuminated for night
driying. The range which is In use • is
dimly lit. Only a gentle touch with the
finger is all that is needed to select
gears and a safety device in the unit
prevents the car from going into re-
verse by mistake at speeds over 10 miles
per hour.
Evident In the over-all styling is a
contemporary aircraft motif featuring
an exciting treatment of the rear fen-
der fins in which are integrated dram-
atic taillight units, High sweep fend-
ers accentuate the low, ground -hugging
silhouette of all five lines of cars.
Other 1956 highlights include, new
power brakes, at extra cost except on
the New Yorker, new center -plane
brakes, four -'door hardtops in all lines,
new and more efficient engines, Im-
proved sealed beam headlights, plus a
number of other important under -the -
hood mechanical advances, Including
12 -volt electrical systems.
Lifeguard door latches are a new it-
em this year. When a car'door is clos-•'
ed the new Chrysler of Canada -design -
latches are literally locked together by
a band of heavygauge g use steel. In all
but the most unusual type of accident,
they eliminate the possibility of doors
opening under collision impact, even
though the body and door openings
may be sprung far out of shape.
Other safety features of the new
Chyrsler of Canada passenger cars in-
clude:
Safety seat belts—Chyrtsler of Can-
ada pioneered in this field earlier this
year in making available, tested and
approved seat belt installations, t•'
completely fit out a car, as dealer -in-
stalled optional oval equipment.
Center -Plane Brakes—Available as
standard equipment on DeSoto and
Chrysler. The new floating shoe Cen-
ter -Plane hydraulic brakes require one
quarter less pedal effort to operate than
the braking systems previously used on
these cars and have greatly increased
"fade resistance." Because of their de-
sign and structure, linings last up to 50
percent longer and major addustments
are a thing of the past. , Only one min-
or adjustment is normally needed in
the course of a .year,
Air -Suspended Power Brakes—Newly
designed vacuum -operated power brake
unit offered on all PowerFlite equipped
cars supplies a power assist to the
brake pedal linkage in a ratio of 2.5
times the brake pedal's own mechanical
advantage, Should a power assistance
ever fail, braking effort is applied di-
rectly through the regular hydraulic
system. Chrysler of Canada continues
to offer an eight inch brake pedal —
widest In the industry on all cars
equipped with PowerFlite transmission,
making left -foot application of the
brakes both' easy and practical,
Independent Hand Brake — A com-
pletely independent mechanical, hand -
operated emergency brake which acts
on the driveshaft is always available
for emergencies.
Electrically -driven windshield wipers
—Standard equipment on all Chrysler
of Canada cars they are superior to va-
cuum -operated wipers because the rate
at which they operate is unaffected by
acceleration or deceleration, Variable
speed electric wipers are standard on
Dodge Custom Royal DeSoto, Chrysler
and Imperial, while Plymouth and
Dodge have single speed electric wip-
ers as standard equipment with vari-
able speed available at extra cost.
Safety Rim Wheels Tubless Tires -
Full -Time Power Steering—While tire
manufacturers ,have spent millions of
dollars on research in their quest for a
blowout - proof and skidproof tire,
Chrysler of Canada has supplemented
their efforts by standardizing on the
Safety Rim wheel and making full -
Otte Power -Steering available. These
two features, combined with tubeless
tires, minimizes the danger from blow-
outs.
Improved Sealed Beam Headlights
Standard equipment on all 1950 Chrys
ler of Canada cars, these improved
headlamps provide up"to80 feet addi-
tional seeing distance along the right
side of the road•; A cap over the low-
er beam filament minimizes glare -back
from particles in the air, greatyl im-
proving visibility in fog, snow, dust'or
rain,

CNOiCE OF V8 OR 6
With your new Chevrolettruck you
can choose a short stroke V8 or the
famous 6 cylinder engine to do your
hauling lob better with more power
and economy.
LONG WEARING PISTONS
New alloy pistons and ring design,
plus Pressure Lubrication, add new
life to pistons — In both the famous 6
and the new short stroke V8's.
COMPRESSION RATIO
New highs in compression ratio give
more instant response to power
demands and squeeze Inc more power
from every drop of fuel,
AXLES AND TRANSMISSIONS
Chevrolet's power carrying units can
be tailored to your individual needs.
In the rough, or on the road, there's a
choice of transmissions, drive lines and
axles for you, '
12 -VOLT SYSTEM
Chevrolet's new 12.volt ignition
system ensures faster starts, even during
the coldest weather. Its hotter spark
means more thorough combustion for
greater economy, too.
STRONGER FRAMES
With Chevrolet, you get the added
strength and full length support of
new pnrnllel'desigo frames, ensuring
greater alignment strength.
TUBELESS TiRES
Greater traction, quieter running and
increased protection from blowouts --
these are just three of many reasons for
the superiority of tubeless tires on the
light duty models,
SMALL TURNING RADIUS
Now you can make tighter turning
circles, get' into smaller spaces with
Chevrolet's smaller turning radius.
POSITIVE STEERING
Recirculating Ball Steering has been
improved to give even greater ease.
Power steering is available at extra
cost on the heavy duty models.,
IMPROVED VISIBILITY
Now you can see all round — with
Chevrolet's wrap around windows
front and rear (rear wrap around Is
optional at extra cost),
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS
These great transmissions make driving
easier, automatically, They cut delivery
times — and reduce wear and tear an
the truck by always being geared right
for the load and the road. -
NEW DRIVE LiNES
New llotchkiss drive lines, now on all
models, absorb 'drive and broking
shock, and promote longer truck life.

TABLE TMKS

, When you're in a hurry to
prepare a luncheon, late even-
ing supper or between -meal
snack, try making open -face
sandwiches for the occasion.
Many of the foods you already
have on your pantry shelf or in
the refrigerator can be used.
Cheese, canned chicken or tur-
key, canned salmon, tuna,
shrimp or crabmeat, sliced ham,
sausage, bacon and tomatoes 'are
only a few of the fundamentals
that can be utilized for this pur-
pose.
A club sandwich, for instance,
doesn't have to be a three -layer
affair with the top layer sliding
off when least expected. It'll be
better than you've ever had
even in your favorite restaurant,
1f you make it a two-way, open -
face sandwich that doesn't have
to be put together for eating,
writes Eleanor Richey Johnston
in The Christian Science Moni-
tor.
* * *
Open Club Sandwich
Start your open -face club
sandwich with two pieces of hot
toast for each person to be
served, Butter them and place
side by side on plates large
enough to take two slices se-
curely. On one slice place a
crisp leaf of head lettuce and
then generous slices of light
and dark chicken or turkey. On
the second piece of toast place
another leaf of lettuce and a
slice of tomato topped by 3
slices of crisp bacon. There you
have the good -tasting foods that
make up a club sandwich, You
add your own special flavoring
with the dressing you pour over
it.
* * *
Dressing Variations
You'll need 1 cup cooked
dressing for every 2 sandwiches.
Add to it finely chopped onion,
green pepper, green olives, or
tart pickle. Now, add just one
of the following — curry pow-
der, chili, powdered tarragon or
thyme (be discreet about
amount!). Next, add a dash of
Tabasco or other hot sauce,
Thin this mixture with a zesty
French dressing. Stir to blend
well. Pour it over your two-way
open -face club sandwich — and
wait for the comments that in-
dicate that you're a cooking
genius!
* * *
' Many of the best open -face
sandwiches are placed under the
broiler for a few minutes until
heated or browned, Here is a
combination of crabmeat and
cheese that is treated in this
way.
DEEP-SEA FANCY
1 cup crabmeat (61/2 -ounce
can)
2 tablespoons chopped green
pepper
1 tablespoon each, chopped
ripe olives and onions
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon horseradish
1/ teaspoon salt
4 slices Canadian cheese
4 slices toast
Combine crabmeat, green pep-
per, onion, ripe olives, and
salt. Mix together mayonnaise,
lemon juice and horseradish
until well blended. Add to crab -
meat mixture, mixing lightly.
Spread on 4 toast slices, Top
each with cheese slice. Place
under low broiler until cheese
melts and is golden brown.
* * *
Canned chicken may be used
in many ways in open-faced
sandwiches. Simplest of all is
to top bread or toast with a
thin, coat of mayonnaise and
then with light and, dark meat
set in over -lapping sections
(pictured). Garnish with stuffed
olives, tomato wedges, or strips'
of pickle.
If you want a more elaborate
chicken sandwich that is really
a whole meal, try this one with
asparagus and cheese sauce,
CHEF'S CHICKEN
SANDWICH
Sliced canned chicken
12 cooked asparagus spears
1 cup cheese sauce
4 slices buttered toast
Arrange chicken slices on hot
buttered toast, Place 3 aspara-
gus spears on • top of chicken,
Pour cheese. sauce over all,
Serve with extra slices of hot,
buttered toast,
* * *
Serve these "puff" sandwiches
as soon as you take them out
of the oven. This is a real
cheese -tomato treat.
CHEESE=i'')MATO PUFFS
6 slices pas:^urized process
Canadian cheese
6 tomato slit's, peeled
6 slices bread, crusts removed
and toasted on one side
2 egg whites
1/2 cup mayonnaise
lit teaspoon salt

slices with slice of cheese and
a tomato slice. Beat egg whites
stiff but not dry; fold in mayon-
naise, salt and pepper. Heap on
tomato slices. Bake at 350° F.
until puffy and lightly browned.
* * *,
Assemble these sandwiches
before the crowd comes and
bake them when needed. Serve
them hot, garnished with olives
or pickles,
ROYAL HAWAIIAN
SANDWICHES
For each sandwich, you'll
need:
1 slice bread, crusts removed
1 slice hang, baked or pressed
1 slice cheese
1 slice pineapple, drained
Butter
Mustard
Spread bread with butter and
mustard. Top with ham, then
cheese, then pineapple slice.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet
and bake in preheated 450° F.
oven for 10-12 minutes, or until
cheese melts and sandwich is
hot. * * *
If there are ,teen-agers in
your home, try these sand-
wiches for Saturday lunch for
the. crowd,
GRILLED SAUSAGE -
CRANBERRY SANDWICHES
AU GRATIN
2 dozen sausage links
8 slices bread
Canadian cheese, grated
1 cup jellied cranberry sauce,

3 links sausage on each.
Sprinkle cheese over sausage.
Place on cookie sheet and toast
under preheated 400° F. broiler
for 5 minutes, or until cheese
melts.
More About Pipes
And Pipe Smoking
The first important book di-
rected against it — 'The opinions
of the late and best Phisitions
concerning the Pipe and Tobac;
co' was published in 1595 and
on his accession to the throne In
1603. James I joined issue with
his famous 'Counterblaste to To-
bacco'. He called it 'an evil
vanitie and a gluttenous exer-
cise' and that 'it is like hell in
the very substance of it, for it
is a stinking loathsome thing:
and so is hell'.
His vicious attack failed to
make much impression on the
sale of tobacco and he therefore
resorted to other means. In Eli-
zabeth's time, tobacco duty was

' 2d per pound — he raised it to
6s 10d, He prohibited its culti-
vation in England and restricted
the planters of Virginia to a
yearly production of 100 pounds.
Despite all this, smoking flour-
ished. Smuggling was rife and
tobacco leaf was grown secretly
in remote parts of the country, -
Curiously enough it was about
this time that persecution of
smokers began to spread in other
parts of the world. In Turkey,
smokers had their noses pierced.
In Russia they were tortured and
in China and Persia elaborate
laws and punishments were im-
posed. Nowhere however did this
savage treatment achieve the
desired result — the people
still smoked.
In 1619 there came a great'
step in pipe progress. The Com-
pany of Tobacco Pipe Makers
was incorporated and granted a
Charter. Adopting for its motto
'Let brotherly love continue' it
framed laws for the better con-
duct of trade and guarded the
privileges of its members.
Approaching the middle of the
17th century, the industry of
clay pipe making sprang up all
over England. During the time
of the, plague, clay pipes, or
plague pipes as they were called,
were in great demand to fumi-
gate against infection. Cooks,
bakers, innkeepers and many
others, anxious to take advant-
age of the demand, began to
make pipes. So unskilful were
their efforts, however, that they
brought the trade into disrepute;
Then, to the great indignation of
English pipe makers. Holland
flooded this country with pipes
made from imported English .
clay. In 1663, therefore, the
Company of Tobacco Pipe
Makers petitioned Parliament to
forbid the export of clay and
asked to be empowered to pre-
vent unlicensed persons from
making pipes. Both requests
were granted 'and clay pipe
makers continued to flourish
again,
The clays made in Elizabeth's
time were small because tobac-
co was . so expensive. They had
a flat base or heel to the bowl,
which leaned forward and the
stems were about 12 inches long.
The makers were proud to dis-
play their games or marks • on
the pipes they made and many
examples of their work are to
be found in museums and pri-
vate collections in many parts
of the ' country.
Towards the end of the ,17th
century a more elongated form
of bowl became popular. Fancy
clays with embossed mouldings
on the bowl were introduced in
the 18th century and a much
longer stem became the vogue.
London clubs and inns kept a
supply of long stemmed pipes,
known as 'Churchwardens' or
'London Straws' for their pa-
trons. They were stored in
'specially made racks and were
'fired' to clean them so they
could be put into circulation
again.
The popularity of clay began
to wane early in the 19th century
with the introduction of the
Meerschaum.
These elaborately carved pipes
were imported from Austria and
Hungary where .they had been
the vogue for some time, They
were invariably fitted with am-
ber mouthpieces. The bowls col-
oured beautifully- after use and
pipe smoking which had for
some time been confined to the
middle and humbler classes was
taken by the more fashionable,
who, in the meantime, had taken
to cigars. The name 'meer-
schaum', which means . sea -foam,
led to the, mistaken belief that
it was petrified foam. Actually
it is an alkali, . mined in Asia
Minor, the main source being
Eskichehir.

discovery introduced ' a material •

him to a Corsican peasant who
fashioned him another from 'a •
local grown wood, This was the
root of the tree Heath (Erica
Aboroa), Delighted with his
new pipe, he obtained some of
the wood and sent it to St,
Claude, a small village • in the
heart of the Jura Mountains,
where he used to buy wooden
stems. St, Claude thus .became

DERELIOT "AULD NOOSE" BECOMES
QUEEN MOTHER'S DREAM HOME
Every day the coaches thund-
er along the windswept road
from John o' Groats to the
Castle of ,Mey and tourists crane
to catch a glimpse of the Queen
Mother's new Scottish home.
Every day new royal rumours
sweep among the 160 Mey vil-
lagers,
The local lifeboat crew put out
a cookery book to help raise
funds, with recipes from Mrs.
Alice Waters, the Queen Mo-
ther's Mey housekeeper, and
from a Mey Castle kitchen -maid,
and it sold like hot cakes, An
enterprising local photographer
launched a set of royal Mey pic-
ture postcards and these, too,
are raking in the bawbees,
Dollar -paying Americans are
snapping up houses and farm-
steads in the neighbourhood.
Even rambling Keiss Castle has
been bought—as a hobby—by a
man from Ohio. There's only one
snag in this amazing Mey furore.
The months pass by . and still
the Queen Mother doesn't move
ini
Yet at the white -walled vil-
lage post office local folk say
that the Queen Mother may
quietly install herself almost be-
fore you can read these words.
They talk of her many visits and
her genuine anxiety to "toast her
toesies" ` in her first real home
of her own.
They discuss the lovely four-
poster bed that had to be taken
to pieces.before it could be car-
ried up the narrow stairs, They
wonder at the modern kitchens,
once a warren of stone --arched
rooms and now a marvel of fit-
ted sinks and stainless steel,
When the the Queen Mother
first came to Mey early in her
Widowhood, the "auld hoose"
was in danger of becoming
derelict. The owner was moving
south and the gales of the Pent-
land Firth had torn slates from
the roof. Candles and oil lamps
formed the only lighting.
Draughts whistled across to the
great, open fireplaces from un-
der every door.
But the Queen Mother toiled
up the unrailed spiral staircase
to gaze breathlessly across the
flat Caithness countryside to-
wards John o' Groats and across
the grey sea towards the Ork-
neys. As she watched, a seal
dived with a splash from off a
rock. •
"There are even mermaids,"
the Queen Mother laughed. Per-
haps more than anything else
this swift splash clinched the
sale.
On those first visits, the royal
viewer went down into The dun-
geons, now used as wine -cellars,
where a stout oak door with an
iron grille hung on broken hing-
es. She was shown the secret
tunnel built towards the sea-
shore by the first owner of Mey,
the 4th Earl of Caithness, a judge
with .powers of life and death
who felt an acute need at times
for quick getaways from the
vengeful friends of his victims.
The tunnel had nearly been
forgotten when an armv lorry
fell into it during the war!
T•he one room the Queen Mo-
ther did not see is the haunted
turret room in the tower, Here,
long ago, a daughter of the
house who fell in love with, a
farm labourer was put on to
bread and water, but she es-
caped and leapt to her death in
the courtyard below. Anguished
groan and cries so disturbed the
castle towards the middle of last
century that•the doorway of the
room was bricked up and it is
not to be reonened.
Another ghost, an old lady
who starved to death in the dun -
aeons, now w a l k s hungrily
through the kitchens. But her
passion for jam tarts is said to
have subsided when a fat kitch-
en boy was fired. Says Charlie
Tate, the Mey gardener, "I've
slept alone in. the castle many
times—and never heard as much
as a fly buzz."
The Queen Mother likes to tell
these stories, but she has plan-
ned Mey as a holiday home
which will be far from ghostly.
The need of the castle to be re-
stored and modernized for a new
lease of life met an echo in her
widowed need to plan her own
life anew.
Her Majesty listened smilingly
to stories of the 14th Earl—back
in Queen Victoria's day — who
brought his Spanish bride to
Mey and with her the cream of
society from London, Paris and
Madrid. On• festive nights the
kilted men guests would drink
their host's health, one foot on
the table in Highland fashion,
The Queen Mother decided
that, though comfortably luxuri-
ous, the house should be "just
as it used to be," and she has
had lots of fun these last three
years hunting for furniture.
Most of the original furnishing
was sold up by auction and
widely scattered some thirty
years ago. Her Majesty spent
days trying to trace the old din-
ing -room furniture and then
found it in the house next door.
All trace of the old family pic-
tures of the Earls of Caithness
was lost for years. Recently they
were found miles away in a ga-
rage. Now, after careful clean-
ing, they have been restored to
the walls.
In a local antique shop, the
Queen Mother startled the pro-
prietress by asking, "Please may
I look behind the counter?"
Rummaging at the back of junk -
shops she has unearthed a series
of beautiful old prints of the
castle and other Caithness land-
marks.
The Castle of Mey was as
tumbledown and forlorn as the
old glass-house—a fragment of
the Crystal Palace—at the foot
of the garden.
To -day it has been transform-
ed into a dry, centrally -heated
dreamhouse with nine bath-
rooms. The fifteen bedrooms
will mean ample space for Prin-
cess Margaret and her friends,
for the Queen Mother loves the
company of young people. When
she bought the castle she
thoughtfully eyed the private
beach and said .what fun it
would be for Charles and Anne.
Some rumour -mongers de-
clare that the Queen Mother in-
tends to make Mey a wedding
gift to Princess Margaret. The
real truth, I am sure, • is that the
Queen Mother intends to live
there herself and finds, like so
many people, that home-build-
ing nowadays takes much longer
than one expects!

ALI, 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
thein in his pocket and said: "I
do"'it' for my cats, They just love
to play with Cellophane."

Love Makes The
World Go Wrong
When Pierre Lebel fell in love
he showered his girl friend with
loving kisses -- and crisp new
5,000 -franc (£5) notes.
She would find them hidden
among the handkerchiefs and
nylons in her little drawer or
stuffed in the fingers of the
gloves he often gave 'her as a
present,
For Pierre loved Lucille Mar-
tin with • true Parisian fervour,
Whenever she wanted to go
shopping on the boulevards he
pressed new notes into her hand
and Lucille naturally rewarded
such generosity with loving
kisses.
Pierre was a commercial ar-
tist who worked hard for his
living - and loving. Often he
shut himself away in his studio
for long hours, but he always
seemed to have plenty of money,
What Lucille didn't . know was
that he was making his own, •
Pierre had .been living on
home-made money for years. He
printed and retouched the notes
with such skill that were
always passed with ease, But,
with sensible caution, this ace
forger never printed more than
he needed to pay his way and
enable him to study the violin
- until he fell in love.
The more loving she was, the
mo.. Pierre wanted to shower
L icille with cash -so he stepped
up pr'oduetion. He imagined that
after a shopping spree Lucille
would be content, but Pierre
. found that he had to reckon With
a woman's touch!
Working - or forging - too
fast, he soon made mistakes. One
day he • tried to pay a milliner
with a freshly printed note which
smudged, Now Pierre Lebel and
his- girl friend are serving jail
sentences.
Cupid and the crook some•
' les go hand in hand. It's
startling how frequently crimin•
als are brought to book by love,
Freddy Beckert, one of the great-
est forgers in the game, didn't
want the police to break up the
sw et domesticity of his• happy
home. When trying to pass a
forged note, he always made
sure that he carried no marks
of identity.
His suit bore no tailor's tabs
and Beckert always insisted that
his wife should do the laundry.
at home, He carried no tell-tale
notebookor motoring license.
Even if caught changing a forged
note, Beckert reasoned,' he would
receive only • a comparatively
light sentence, for his identity,
an, therefore his lifetime of.
for'^vy a i'l�•1't he nroyed..•
But that's wh^re he tripped
up, Discontented with the home -
washed grey look of his white
shirts, his wife secretly sent
them to the laundry, Though she
insisted the shirts should bear
no laundry marks, the launder-
ers put deft "unseen" marks in-
side the sleeve.
When Beckert was caught, the
laundry mark revealed his Iden-
tity, his address - hd the forg-
er's equipment in a workshop
where his loving wife imagined
he practised his hobbies, •
Love and kisses often get or- -
dinary folk into trouble with the
law, too, _
Two laughing lovers who ex-
changed quick kisses on a round-
about at a Bengal fair were re-
cently jailed for six weeks.
Although admitting their guilt,
they appealed against the sen-
tence. But the judge refused to
change his verdict.
"Kissing in public Is indecent!"
he solemnly reminded them.
Japanese sweethearts can't
cuddle and squeeze at the pic-
tures, either. Even in these en-
lightened times, many orientals
are prudish about spooning. And
twilight caresses are banned.
Municipal authorities maintain
that wooing leads to kisses, and
kissing leads to trouble. So, to
prevent public scandal, film pa-
trons are segregated into well-
defined groups.
Thus, when a teen-age Jap es-
corts his favourite heart-throb
to the movies, they have to part
'at the paybox. Then they are
conducted to seats on opposite
sides of the gangway,
And they are not allowed to
join up again till the show is
ended,
All over the world, kisses of-
ten result in unforeseen compli-
cations,
A few weeks ago, at Bordeaux
in France, the fire brigade an-
swered a hiidnight call to rescue
a plump young corporal who was
wedged in a chimney.
He had climbed over the roof.
tops by moonlight and descended
the wrong chimney while trying
to enter his girl friend's home,
"What were you doing up
there?" inquired a gendarme.
The soldier blushed.
"I intended to claim my usual
good -night kiss," he explained
sheepishly, "This she denied me
after we quarrelled."
Odd though it may sound,
kissing one's husband provided
grounds for divorce,
John Fulton, of Hartford, Con-
necticut, obtained release from
his highly emotional wife be-
cause she insisted on frequent
kisses, full on the mouth, even
after she had been kissing her
tame white rat.
John was not the only young
husband who has discovered
that affection for animals can .
disturb the tranquility of wed-
lock. A divorce judge once nod-
ded sympathetically when an
English railway clerk complain-
ed that he had been ordered to
kiss his nagging wife, his sister-
in-law, and finally their ginger
cat every time he returned from
work.
Many adventurous individuals
have found that stealing kisses
is an expensive and perilous
pastime.
On New Year's Eve, Mrs. Ol-
ga Ferdens, gazing through the
window of her New York flat,
spotted a handsome constable
on his beat. And her secret
yearning proved too much for
her.
With a cry of joy, she tot-
tered downstairs on her high -
heeled shoes, flung her arms
round the astonished officer and
kissed him passionately.
"I'd been wanting to do that
for a whole year," she told the
judge with evident satisfaction.
"Disgraceful!" he commented
"Two dollars fine,"
"Gee! It was sure worth it!"
chuckled the delighted defen-
dant.
Another American w 11 o s e
thrilling conquests landed him
in the dock was a gay young
fellow from New Jersey. He
had a weakness for kissing
pretty girls whom he encoun-
tered on the payement.
But during one of his excur-
sions, he was arrested and lock-
ed in a cell.
Later, in `court, the judge gave
him a stern lecture on morality.
"And I sentence you to kiss
nobody except your wife dor.
ing the next twelve months"
the judge concluded severely.

Souvenir Collectors On The Rampage

London - Now that most of
the 203,000 American tourists
who flooded London this sum-
mer, have left for home, Lond-
oners are busy counting the
silverware.
Not that an. American would
take anything, mind you. Still,
there's no harm in checking to.
see that London Bridge is intact,
Nelson's Column nailed down
and Big Ben in its tower at
Westminster Palace,
It's the Yankee souvenir -hunt-
ing mania that baffles Britons.
Americans dropped nearly $100,-
000,000 here this summer, and
a good part of it went for buy-
ing mementoes that ranged from
Queen Anne thimbles to maroon -
colored, pre -1918 taxicabs.
There was the woman from
Winthrop, Me., who tried to buy
the roof of a thatched cottage.
In the end she settled for 30 tons
of Norfolk reed, which is being
shipped to the U.S., and now two
professional t h a t c h e r s from
North Walsham are on their way
to Maine to make sure the roof
gets a proper crew-cut,
• * *
And then there is Maj. Arthur
Kieling, lately of the U.S. Air
Force at Burtonwood. To his
home in Welikeit, Mich., the
major took a lamp -post, six Lon-
don bobbies' helmets, 18 old
clocks and a storm lamp.
The 12 -foot, green -painted gas -
lamp standard he bought for $3
for his cocker spaniel, Midnight.
"Now Midnight will ,have a real
lamp -post just like other dogs,"
says the major, explaining that
,Welikeit's lights are , strung on.
wooden poles.
The policemen's helmets? The
major thinks he may plant them
with flowers and -hang them on
Midnight's . lamp -post,
Other things about Americans
puzzle the British,
'Are all American judges, for
example, "as rabid fans of Sher-
lock Holmes as Judge John
Biggs, of the U.S. Court of ,Ap-
peals? No sooner did Judge
Biggs land in England to attend
a conference of 400 criminolo-
gists than he was off across
Dartmoor in search of the Hound
of the Baskervilles.

And is it usual for a dramatic
critic to ' cone all the way from
Long Island, N.Y,, in an effort
to prove that Shakespeare's
plays were written by Christo-
pher Marlowe?
American critic Calvin Hoff-
man has been hanging around
Chiselhurst, Kent, all summer
'waiting folk' permission to dig up
a 300 -year-old tomb. He thinks
the tomb, that of Marlowe's pa-
tron, may contain evidence to
support his theory.
Thanks to the Yanks, the Brit-
ish are now getting a new insight
to their own history. No English-
man, for example, ever thought
of St. James' .. Square, London,
as other than; the home of the
world's most stuffy clubs -cer-
tainly not the stamping -ground
of floosies.
But listen to this bit of potted
history from the U.K. Eagle,
magazine of the U.S, Air Force
in Britain:
"St. James' is the home of a
former Duchess of Richmond.
King Charles II had long had his
eye on this pretty filly ... She
died In 1702, a rich and not un-
happy woman whose virtue is
outstanding in an era of rakes
and floosies. Maybe as you walk
through St. James' Square one
of these evenings you might
meet her ghost -who knows?"
Who knows, indeed!
AMERICAN TOURISTS ON THE PROWL -Here they're looking
over the courtyard .at Eton, the famous public school. Ono
at right is taking notes; others take a baffling amount of sou-
venirs. '
