Members of the Lions Club were present to supervise the event. Santa arrived amidst a very season- able atmosphere. A fresh fall of snow made the sleighing ideal and he was drawn by cutter which was propelled by a flashy brown and white charger, complete with bells, His arrival in the Hall was the signal for much mer• riment and after suitable greetings the work at hand of distributing treats for all the kiddies was efficiently with the Lions giving Santa a hand, 450 bags of treats were distributed. Santa Claus kindly consented to re- main and draw the Bank Nite tickets, the'Draw being made from the Memor- ial Hall stage before the huge crowd dispersed,' The fact that both events were held at the same time added to the enthus- lasin and no doubt was also -respon- sible for the record crowd which at- tended.

Many renewals have been received since the announcement of the 50 cent rise which becomes effective on Janu- ary 1st.

On January 1st the yearly subscrip- tion price of The Standard in.Canada will be $2,50 per year in advance, and in the United States $3.50.

We know that our sub- scribers will bear with us in our prob- lem, as they have in others in the past. The Standard may not have the larg- est circulation in the County but it does cover its trading area comparatively with any other county newspaper, and continues to grow in numbers, As we have said before, we may not have the largest family of subscribers but for loyalty to the home -town paper we know that our subscribers rate with the best. Our !nailing list has been brought up to date this week, and anyone who has paid their' subscription up to and including Tuesday of this week, will find the new advanced date on the lab- el of this issue. If the right date docs not appear, kingly let us know at once. - Those who are still in arrears, or any others wishing to do so, may take advantage of the present renewal rate anytime prior to the New Year.

The back -of -the -stove soup pot —into which is tossed and poured every bit of otherwise unused food and every drop of water in which meats and vege- table are cooked, awaiting the final seasoning on soup day—is said to have originated there. French onion soup is popular everywhere, especially among men. One of the tricks that makes it so much liked is that French onion soup is usually served in earthenware bowls— and there's a reason 1 That toast- ed, cheese -covered French bread that is floating on your onion soup was placed in the bottom of the individual bowl after be- ing toasted. It was then topped with the cheese and the bowl was placed under the broiler while the cheese browned light- ly and the bowl heated. The bowl was then removed from the oven and tilled with hot soup. The browned cheese -toast rises to the top when the soup is added. * * Most French cooks make beef stock by a long process of boil- ing meat and bones to the de- sired strength, but canned beef bouillon can be used to make a version that is almost as satisfy- ing to one who enjoys onion coup. Large sweet onions are usually chosen for this soup, though the medium - sized, stronger, red onions may be used, if you like. Peel onions and cut in uniform thin slices before beginning your soup. FRENCH ONION SOUP 4 large sweet onions, peeled and sliced 2.cans beef bouillon 1 teaspoon salt Dash of Worcestershire sauce Freshly ground black pepper Butter for browning onion Melt butter and brown onion slices, watching and stirring with a spatula to prevent burn- ing. Onion slices should become transparent with a faint tinge of brown. Add other ingredients and cook slowly for about '.i hour. Serve as described above. * '* * Italy is known for its mine- strone soup and there are in- numerable variations even in that country. Minestrone is usually thick with vegetables, seasoned` lightly with garlic, and served with a topping of grated Parmesan cheese, The follow- ing recipe is the type of soup very frequently served in Italy, Minestrone X pounds beef soup bone with meat 4 quarts cold water 2 teaspoons salt 1 cup dried red kidney beans (or 2/2 cups canned) % cup each, chopped onion and minced parsley 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cups shredded cabbage 1 cup sliced fresh snap beans 1 cup sliced fresh , carrots 1 cup diced celery % cup shelled fresh peas % cup thinly sliced zucchini squash 1 cup tomato puree (or a 6 -oz. can tomato paste) slices bacon, finely chopped 3 cup elbow or shell macaroni or broken -pieces spaghetti cup rice 2 tablespoons salt B teaspoons ground sage leaves % teaspoon ground black pep- per Grated cheese Place soup bone and meat, water, 2 teaspoons salt and dried beans (if dried beans are used) in large kettle.

Neighbours spied on neighbours, and friends on friends. For, in a town where even petty crime was a rarity, four brutal murders had been committed—and the mur- derer was still at large, Where would he strike next? For four years the police were baffled, until their chief played a hunch. The murder series had begun quietly enough with the disap- pearance in November, 1930, of a young dairy -worker named Sven Eriksson. Two nights later his body was found in the near- by lake. Eriksson had been shot at point-blank range, and though the bullet touched his until vegetables, macaroni, and rice are tender. Serve hot in heated bowls.

It's a marble bust of his wife, the former Mrs. Rosetnary McMahon. The Baroness, widow of Connecticut's late Sen. Brien McMahon, married .Sllvercruys in 1953, The bust is eventually to be placed in the Belgian Embassy in Washing- ton. Model for the bust is a plaster cast, left, fashioned two years ago. heart, he was still alive when his body was flung into the water for the coroner found that death was due chiefly to drowning. Eriksson was trusted by his firm and respected by those knew him. He had no known enemies. Who would want to kill him? Robbery was discounted as a motive, for the victim's wages were intact in his wallet. Extensive police inquiries in and around Sala failed to iden- tify the murderer or even the motive behind his crime. There was only a single clue, the bul- let extracted from the body of the victim, But all efforts to find the weapon or its owner failed. Weeks and months went by, and the police made no head- way at all. The work was com- plicated, moreover, by a series of unusual minor crimes in and around Sala—burglaries, stolen cars, robberies and so on. And these defied all efforts at solu- tion. Then, on the night of Sep- tember 15th, 1933, the house of Axel Fjellberg, a prominent local mining official, caught fire and was completely gutted. From the smoking ruins next morning the firemen recovered two bodies, both badly burned but recognizable. They were Axel Kjellberg and his house- keeper.. Both had been shot in the head. The fire had been started to cover the double murder. This time the motive was soon apparent. A safe, scorch- ed, blackened and empty, was found. It had contained some 18,500 kroner (worth then about £1,000) which Kjellberg had drawn from the bank the pre- vious day to pay the wages of the mineworkers. Clues were scarce. The smell of paraffin on partially -burned timber proved that arson had been committed; but the bullets extracted from the bodies re- vealed that they had been fired from the same gun as that which .had killed Eriksson. When the news of the double murder became known in Sala, a special meeting was called and citizens took turns to pa- trol the streets at night. The murderer was not found, but for some months there were no more killings. Then, in the early morning of ,October 12th, 1934, one of the patrols saw a house on fire. This time the fire brigade ar- rived in time to extinguish the blaze before it had got very far. But it was too late to save 60 - year -old Mrs. Bloomqvist, the wealthy widow who owned the house. The firemen found her body in the scorched bed. But she appeared to have died from suf- focation, and not from burns which were relatively slight. There was no sign of a bullet wound. The body was sent to Stock- holm for a full post-mortem by experts. And the report con- firmed the local doctor's diag- nosis; death by suffocation, but not from smoke! Robbery was again the mo- tive. Mrs. Bloomqvst kept a great deal of valuable jewel- lery (worth about £1,200) in a locked metal box in her bed- room, instead of depositing it in a bank vault. But when a search was made for it, only the -fire -twisted box could be found. The lock had been forced and the box was empty. Again the police were baf- fled, Only the motive and the lack of real clues suggested that this, too, was the work of the same cold-b'Iboded "mon- sters." ' In Sale and the near -by coun tryaide a new terror enveloped the people. Who would be the next victim? It was almost eighteen months later that the police had their first real break. For on that day another Sala man was struck down. He was a strong young man named Elon Petterson and worked in the office of a local stone quarry, On his way to the quarry carrying the payroll of 20,000 kroner (about £1,200) which he had just collected from the bank, he was attacked and robbed by two men who escaped in a car. This time the murderers were seen. An eye -witness saw Pet- terson go by on his cycle, heard two shots, and saw two men dragging the body of the vic- tim along the road, Then they threw the body into a ditch and drove away. Petterson died . f r o m his wounds .without recovering con- sciousness. But the eye -witness had noted the number of the car—W-1504. And Police Chief Karl Weimar, checking through the list of missing cars, found one with a similar description, with the number E-4504,, May- be they had the n u m b e r changed, he thought. Playing his hunch, he issued a description of the car to the Press and stated that every garage, private and public, would be searched for this car. A day later the car was found abandoned near Sala—anti the licence number had been alter- ed. The repair man who altered the number was traced and his evidence seemed incredible. For it incriminated a highly respected citizen of Sala, a ga- rage -owner named Erik Hed- strom. Hedstrom at first denied any knowledgeof the murders, but when a search of his house and garage located the missing au- tomatic carrying his finger- prints, he confessed, This also. incriminated a Swedish doctor named Thurneman, He, too, was arrested and confessed. Theseconfessions, made pub- lic at the trial a few weeks later, revealed that Dr. Thurne- man was the real "monster," a man who, though a skilled nerve specialist with a good practice in Stockholm, had an obsession to create the . "perfect crime," He had induced Hed- strom to enter into alliance with him, with the, idea of carrying out crimes planned and perfect- ed by the doctor. Through his practice Dr. Thurneman got to know Eriks- son, the first victim, and using his hypnotic—powers persuaded him to take part in their first planned. crime, robbing the dairy at Sala where Eriksson worked, But Eriksson backed out at the last moment, so Dr. Thurne- man "arranged" that Hedstrom and two other men should way- lay, and kill Eriksson to silence him. Though their first robbery plan had misfired, the, others were carried out effectively. For Dr, Thurneman and his ac- complices were 'responsible for most of the robberies and bur- glaries committed in the Sala_ area over a period lasting nearly, six years, The murder of Mrs. Blooi- qvst was planned when the doc- tor had discovered that she kept valuable jewellery at her house. She was one of Dr. Thurne- man's patients and an easy subject for his hypnotic powers. Each of the five members of this' gang had amassed a small fortune. When they had enough, they had planned to break up and leave for America. After a sensational trial, all five men were found guilty of. murder and ' were sentenced to life • imprisonment - the maid - mum penalty in Sweden. But Dr. Thurneman was later' found to be insane and was sent to a lunatic asylum. SMUGGLEDHIS V. C, The Russian shell landed, its fuse spluttering, on the deck of the British warship. Young Lieut. Charles Lucas unhesita- tingly seized it in both hands and hurled it overboard. A split second later, before it hit the water, the shell ex- ploded. "He deserves a medal,' com- mented the Prince Consort. "But the plain fact is we've no award good enough," And to his wife, Queen Victoria, he outlined his breakfast brainwave for a new d e c o r a t i on for conspicuous bravery. "The highest of till awards," he ,explained. "And we can name it after you!" "For Valour" In this way, just a hundred years ago, the Victoria Cross was born. Seven artists submit- sted designs and the Queen selected the Maltese Cross with the inscription, "For Valour," which we now know so well. Since then, 1,347 men have won the V.C., three as recently as the Korean war. It can be won by women, such as nurses on the battlefield, but no wom- an has ever won it. It can be won by civilians who have vol- unteered against the caemy, yet no civilians have gained the award since the Indian Mutiny, Towards the end of World War II there was a flurry in of- ficial dovecotes when King George VI approved 'he award posthumously to a Dann, War Office spokesmen insisted that a foreigner could not 'win the V.C. As a nineteen -year-old young- ster serving in a tanker, Anders Lassen switched to the British Army when Denmark fell, though he left his mother and father behind in Copenhagen, Storming three German lake - shore positions in Italy, account- ing for six machine-guns, kill ing' eight of the enemy, Lassen paid for his V.C. with his life, Another Dane who won the Cross in the first World War could not accept it until he be- came a naturalized British sub- ject. But the V.C. was once won by a Russian serving with the Canadian forces, while a German won the V.C. during the Crimean War. Gently the Lassen affair was glossed over. After all, the V.C. was indubitably awarded +^ the American Unknown Soldier, Several V.C.s of the 1939-45 war were citizens of the neutral Republic of Ireland, But their home addresses were censored and at least one Irish V,C, smug - lied his decoration home in his shoe in case it should be con- fiscated by the customs. 'There have been five Negro V.C.s, and twenty-nir Indians gained the honour, in the last war alone. In ,an action in the Solemons a Fijian corporal was awarded the V.C. after crawl- ing forward under fire to rescue the wounded from an enemy ambush. But the award was posthu- mous as, sadly, one-fourth of all V.C,s have been in the register's history. Sergeant Nigel Leakey wrenched open the turret of an Italian tank in Abyssinia and shot all the crew, but he had been dead nearly five years be- fore the famous initials were added to his name, Orphans aged six and seven have trotted up to the Queen at Buckingham Palace to receive the award for their fathers. More happily Major Herbert Le Patourel received • posthumous V.C. but came home after being found alive in a prison camp. Believed to be st?" living, though now an old m-7, there's a V,C. who was struck off the official register back in 1908 for committing• a felony. After be- ing found guilty of housebreak- ing, he went to Dartmoor and took his V.C. to jail with hi.::, Seven such men in -alJ have been struck off the roll for felonies, cowardice or trca ou, but the medal itself cannot be taken away. Some years ago a V.C. was convicted of muriar, and King George V ruled that the man was entitled to have his wish and wear the medal td the scaffold. Fortunately, events dec.aad otherwise, for the :,entcnce ,.vas commuted to life imprisonn::tt, Not long ago thieves stole Flight -Sergeant Aaron's poslhtt- mous V.C, from his pare.its' hone—won when he 'andel a bomber 'plane with his face half shot away—but the burglars slipped the medal into the tuaar- est police -station when they realized what they had takes.. Yet V.C.s have sometimes sold their medals, One of the first frogmen V.C.s, who came f:ons Belfast, sold his decoration for $225 and found that the cash helped to re -paper the frant room as well as provide clothes for the children. "What's the use of a meial when you need money for ,.3ur family to live?" he demanaed. Nevertheless, the story had a happy ending when the dealer gave the medal back to him and he promised never to part with it again. The dealer's generosity in this can be gauged by the high prices V,C, medals fetch in tho ` sale- room, A Cross won by a Sebas- topol surgeon recently reaped $1200 for the hero's great- neph- ew. A man went along to a Lon- don saleroom prepared to bid up to $75 for the Cross won by his great-uncle as a Crimean mid- shipman. lIe could hardly believed his ears when the medal was knoelc- ed down for $300, a compara- tive bargain. Members of the Wood family pooled their savings to buy back Sergeant Harry Wood's medal but they found they had to bid against the Scots Guards and the world's foremost collectors before they secured it for $ 30. Until recently genuine V,C.s were cast from the bronze of Russian guns captured at the siege of Sebastopol. By Qu=en Victoria's order several of the cannon were set aside to provide metal for heroes' for ever. But the Queen underestimated the number of heroes, and supplies Of Sebastopol bronze ran out thirteen years ago. So now gun- metal is supplied by the Royal Mint. A 70 -year-old London crafts- man named Alec. Forbes .has been casting the crosses for- the past fifty years, He has seen the medal won by 16 -year-old boys, by heirs to the peerage and by rag-and-bone men. He ' has made the Crosses for at least four sets of V.C. brothers and knows of three instances where the V.C. was won by father and son. Three men have won it twice over in effect by molding the V.C. and Bar. On returning to civilian life, strangely enough, few heroes repeat the pattern of bravery by w inn in g. other awards for valour, No one is likely to win the V.C, this year. Queen Victoria declared that the V.C. could be given for supreme courage in peacetime and five Tommies won it for rescuing shipwrecked companions in a storm, But her son, Edward VII, ruled that the Victoria Cross could be won only in battle. It's one Of the few medals, in fact, that we can go on hoping won't be won any more! OUTFIT FOR LOVERS — 'A single Cupid's arrow perces the 'hearts" of these showgirls in Tokyo,.

TIILFMM FRONT JAatuseit lore all snow that the farm precim in Canada, especially 'ln regard to the mounting stock• piling of surplus and possibly on eateablr products, Is certainly an acme one. II3ut what must it be south of the border where they already have SIX BILLION DOLLARS iWORTII of such sur- passes coo hand, ,with the pos.si• b ii ty of the total reaching the starveling total of TEN BIL. LION before there Is any easing off. The following dispatch from Washington gives an idea of holy Borne of the leaders over there view the problem. The three big farm organiza- tions aa'e in disagreement over the development of a Proper program, the National Grange atilt holding out for a commodi- ty -by -commodity approach, the Farmers' Union insisting that a brer:d, over-all approach some- what similar t6 the Brannan Plan is the real answer, 'while the American Farm • Bureau Federation feels that, with cer- tain .'imited changes, the pre- sent program can be made to 'veers, The disunity among the "big three" is further emphasized by the recent Grange attack on the prer.ent administration farm pro>":alit, Se::ator Aiken, in talks' to farm groups, is stressing the optimistic side of the farm pic- ture as well as. its darker as- pects. Farm credit is still high and the rate of farm fore- cleszes which averaged 7,000 a year for the last 10 years, is nov down to 60 in 1954.. While farm problems may be "alleviated or aggravated by roan -made laws," the senator believes flint in the main these prof ems will not be met in the halm of congress or in state capitols, but "must be solved in the :aboratory and on the farms and by greater unity of effort ams^g farm people," PUZZLE — How did barber Al- phonse Secinaro spend Ns time over a recent weekend? Hint: He didn't attend a,i Elk's con- vention, 8111111 .uposed, Some of this unity, he feels, might be accomplished through farm cooperatives, 1:Ie believes that the public will support cooperative efforts of fanners to share feirly in the national income. But Senator Aiken does not believe that the public will long support "a policy of guaranteeing high- level farm income through fed- eral largess, except during emergencies." He points to the potato and egg programs of a few years ago as indication of that. The peak of the govern- ment's gigantic holdings of faun surpluses probably will be reached this winter and "then should taper off," in the -opin- ion of Senator George D, Aiken of Vermont, ranking Republi- can farm leader, This tapering off period may be slow, but he feels that "from the long range point of view" the future of the coun- try's two million commercial farmers is a promising one. a s * In the meantime, the govern- ment has nearly 6 billion dol- lars worth of farm surpluses on its hands, Department of Agri- culture authorities estimate that by the time the "peak" which Senator Aiken forsees is reach- ed American taxpayers will be remote -control owners of some 10 billion dollars worth of these surpluses. 0 0 * The senator's belief that the tide will begin to turn at that point is based on the fact' that domestic demand for all farm commodities is increasing and exports now are running 20 per cent over last year. The Vermonter has been tak- ing to the platform lately in an efort to refute the gloom -and - doom talk about any American "farm crisis." What he is saying from these platforms represents what will, in all probability ,constitute the administration answer to mounting political attack' on the farm issue. As he puts it: "The so-called farm crisis is political. The farm problem is economic," Neither the Senate farm lead- er nor the administration, how- ever, has put forth as yet any definite program of farm legis- lation, That changes and addi- tions•are needed to present laws is not denied, Signator Aiken sees "a dozen major suggestions for improv- ing farm programs that merit serious study and considera- tion," Reports from the hinterland, as travelling congressional com- - mittees tap grass-roots opinion, indicate that farmers them- selves are sharply divided on just what steps should be taken to bring ,the farm economy back into even balance.

It was while he was praying af- ter his baptism that the Holy Spirit descended upon him as a dove, and the Father spoke the words, "Thou art my be- loved Son; in thee I am well pleased." After a day of healing Jesus rose early the next morn- ing and • retired to pray. Before he chose the twelve disciples he spent the night in prayer. -While praying on the mount he was transfigured before the three disciples and Elias and Moses appeared to talk with him. So -beautiful was Jesus' pray- er life that on one occasion af- ter he had ceased praying his disciples besought him, "Lord, teach us to pray." -He then set forth the proper spirit in which we should approach God in the model prayer commonly called the Lord's prayer, It is a trite saying but it needs repeating: if Jesus, the Son of God, needed to pray, then so do we, Most of us will confess that prayer is too readi- ly croWded out of our daily pro- gram, There are so many things to do and so many places to go. One missionary friend said, "We haven't time to pray; we must take time." It would startle most of us if we kept' track of how little' time we spend in prayer in a whole' week, If we would live radiantly and triumphantly we must wait upon the Lord, He will renew our strength. The fruitfulness of the Billy. 'Graham crusades is largely due to prayer, When hundreds of thousands of' people are earnest- ly seeking God's blessing upon a given effort — well, some- thing is sure to happen. Tenny- son,well said, "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of, We must pray more for our daily needs, our families, the church of God around the world and for peace among, men, How To Be Happy With Six Husbands' The brown -skinned, lissom . women .who live in villages in a 400 -mile -square area of north-west India are reported to be in revolt against their centuries-old custom of poly- andry, which permits each wife more than one husband. They live in a woman's world known as Jaunswar-Bawar, where India's far north meets Tibet. In their mountain locked villages men 'outnumber women by four to one and the total. population is 60,000, • Some of the women have five husbands. One, Mrs. Gumani, who • is slender, graceful and shy, has six and seems quite, content, They are brothers and everybody lives snugly on one room, But many of the other women do not thing polyandry is so wonderful and have re- cently been obtaining divorces from their husbands. Divorce there is cheap and easy. Oddly enough, there is no such thing as a, jealous husband Legend says that it was a queen -ancestor of these strange people who introduced poly- andry, She instructed her third son that the wife he won for himself by his skill as an archer must be the equal bride of his four brothers, too, and so the custom began. STRINGS ATTACHED — Anybody lost a hand ? That's what Hin- ton, W. " Va., police want to know. They found this human hand, with a string attached, on a sidewalk, Displaying it is Capt. H. C, Shirley, RUSSIAN SCIENTISTS TAMING THE SUN Soviet natural scientists are planning to build the biggest surf power plant in the world, The description of their plans, as part of the final paper read recently at the 1st world sympo- sium on applied 'solar energy, wound up this 36 -nation con- ference on an optimistic note. For the first time, this con- ference held recently in Phoe- nix Arizona brought over 900 experts from six continents to- gether in one place to discuss how to develop one of the most abundant resources of mankind — the incredible energy of the sunshine that falls freely around us, The Soviet project was by far the most ambitious single project described at the con- ference. The highlight of the Soviet paper was the descrip- tion of the proposed solar power Baum's estimates, it will be able Baums' estimates, it will be able to turn out 750 to 1,000 kilo- watts of electricity and, at the same time, 19 tons of ice or 44 cubic meters of fresh water an hour, as a by- product, In the winter, his paper said, the plant could heat a settlement of 17,- 000 to 20,000 people, This Soviet scheme goes' far beyond any other project in the solar power field that has been presented at this conference. The concensus of other papers on the subject was that any use of solar power on the scale of the Soviet project was un- economical at this time and only a prospect for the fairly distant future, There is nothing in Professor Baum's paper to suggest that his projected plant could compete economically with other forms of power, even with the rela- tively expensive atomic power. However, his paper carefully pointed out that this plant is "designed for a specific region of the southern part of the Soviet Union." 'Thus, it looks as though it will be just an expen- sive large scale experiment, un- derwritten by the Soviet gov- ernment as a developmental project and having some prac- tical value for a remote area, far from supplies of ordinary fuels. But even as an experimental project, this scheme, if it is pur- sued, will be a big step forward in solar energy utilization. By and large the most that has been proposed in other papers here has been involved solar cookers, small-scale solar stills,and individual home water heaters and heating and cooling systems, The Baum project was the only specific plan to use the sun on anything approaching an industrial scale with the excep- tion of source fairly large solar furnaces described by the French delegation, But the really unique feature of the Soviet plan is that -it is an attempt to use the sun to generate sizable amounts of electric power, There are three fundamental- ly different ways of doing this, as outlined by various confer- ence speakers. One is to use the sun's heal to run a more or less conventional steam generator. A second method, called "photo- electric," turns sunlight directly into electricity, The Bell Tele- phone Laboratories solar bat- tery is an example, The third method, called "photo -chemical, uses sunlight to create chemical fuels which can be burned to produce pow- er,,Some experiments now being carried out along this line use sunlight to break ordinary wa- ter Into hydrogen and aX gases which can then be tufhe' to give an intense Seat. : Professor Baum's paper screed with the estimates of the other experts here that both photo- electricity and photo -chemistry, as sources of sizable amounts of power, are still in the very early laboratory stages. But his proposed t h e r n a 1 power plant indicates that he thinks this kind of sun power is much closer to being prac- tical than the others here have indicated. One of the biggest drawbacks to such a plant, as discussed by other speakers here, is the hig cost of the large area of the mirrors needed to focus the sun's rays on the steam boiler. Professor Baum's paper saya that this cost can be cut con- siderably by using a battery of small mirrors instead of a few big ones, since the cost of a square foot of mirror goes up steeply as the size of the indi- vidual mirrors is increased, As dscribed in his paper, the Baum project would have "twenty-three concentrical rail- way lines , .. situated around a central tower with the boiler, along which trains of` platforms move . , . on each platform, there is a flat reflector 3 by 5 meters consisting of 28 flat mir- rors fastened on a metal struc- ture," Taken together, these mirrors will add up to 20,000,E square meters of reflecting surface. They will be kept trained on the sun by -automatic photo - electronic devices that will also keep them focussed on the cen- tral steam boiler. By this means the description says, enough heat can be generated to deliver superheated steam at 350 de- gress centigrade and 16 atmos- pheres pressure at the rate of 13 tons of steam tin hour, "Yf yliu are going after pow- er, this is the way to do it," a leading American solar author- ity commented, "The Russian plan is ingenious," he, said, "It shows real vision." Although this American dele- gate did not want to be quoted by name, presumably because he had not yet had enough time to study the Soviet paper care- fully, his offhand estimate re- flected that of many of the other delegates as well, Professor Baum is known, boh by reputation and person- ally, to many of the solar en- ergy authorities. They respect his work, which theysay is on a par with solar energy research in other countries. Thus, even though he has described only a "paper power plant," they take his plans as those of a 'project that will in time produce ex- perimental hardware. The Soviet schemeis vision- ary and ambitious, but, at the same time, it has a very practi- cal ring as a developmental re- search program.

We've been out together often, and no one knows but his wife. Six months ago she refused to give him up; now, seeing how miserable he is when he doesn't see me, she has changed her mind. (I have never spoken to her.) "He is planning to transfer to another province and wants me to go along. We will get sep- arate apartments until our di- vorces are granted and then get married, 1 quit my job some time ago thinking it would help, My flame calls me sometimes or writes, or stops and talks a min- ute if we meet, He declares at last he knows what love is!

ONE TOUCH OF VENUS — Beautiful Veronique Zuber seems to be enacting the mythological story of Venus, goddess of beauty and love, materializing from the foam of the sea. But actually, Veronique, dubbed "Miss Paris," is demonstrating a new synthe- tic -fiber wool in the French capital. .;A• •, irAreltikaikAe HRONIC ES S,,g.“13:FAYkti A week ago I went to Toronto to see how Dave was getting along after his throat operation He was home but had lost quite a lot of weight . and although he seemed in fairly good spirits he was still quite croupy. On Wednesday he was taken. back to the Hospital for Sick Child- ren for further treatment, The doctors said his chest condition had not completely cleared and could not be dealt with satis- factorily at home. So now I suppose Dave will remain un- der medical care until he has completely recovered. 'The poor little chap did not take very kindly to the idea of going ino hospial again but before his mother left the building he was sitting up in his cot playing quite happily. 1 suppose once he settled down he would be all right especially as there are plenty of other children for him to play with. Of course his pa- rents are quite worried •about him — and so are we. But we know he is having the best of care and at the moment there is no more that any of us can do for him. We still seem to be having all kinds of queer weather, don't we? Last week sunshine one day out of seven. And this evening a thunderstorm. Compared with sone places we do' well if we get away with minor incon- veniences, The day 1 went to Toronto I was really caught napping. Got a ride down and wore a light -weight top coat over my suit — and I nearly froze after leaving the car. I stayed overnight at Dee's place and next morning she lent inc a heavy coat for the rest of my visit, and to come home in. So there was I walking around Toronto in borrowed clothes. A bright green coat, vivid red and blue silk. scarf and a black hat was a choice colour combina- tion, believe me, But it was better than being cold anyway. Partner hasn't been liking the wet weather at all, IJe has been putting up a new fence in the back lane and of course lie would .get one or two postholes dug and then it would rain again. However, I believe he finally finished the job and has since started digging the gard- en. Hardly a day passes but what I see him somewhere around with his rubber-tyred aluminum wheel - barrow, Shortly before we sold the cows the old barrow — steel pan on a wooden frame — fell to pieces. Which was.\just as Well as Partner had reached the stage where he found it too heavy to push around. So the new one had to be aluminum, just as big but much lighter in weight. It was tho best buy we ever made. That barrow is used in dozens of ways; All my wastepaper and magazines were carted from • the house to the car in the barrow. When I pot- ted my geranium slips along came Partner with' a load of good soil, Collections of rub- bish from the house Ad woad - shed ready for, a bonfire are transported the same way. And • in the hot weather when the garden needed moisture Partner filled the barrow with water to let it get sun -warmed before being used on the garden at night, A very versatile, piece of equipment, that barrow. And easily washed when necessary. The reason I have told you about it is this: The other day I was on a farm where the owner is a man past seventy. He was cleaning out the hen - pen and, using a heavy steel -pan barrow. 1t took all his strength, I am sure, to push that barrow. What needless waste of energy! So, if there is an elderly man doing the chores on your farm wouldn't, it be a good idea if the women of the family paid a little attention to the equipment he is using for the job? Christ- mas is coming — Father might be over-joyed with an alumi- num wheel -barrow from Santa Claus! One thing is certain as long as the old one hangs together he will never buy one for himself. He has become so used to pushing a heavy barrow he doesn't realize how much strength and 'energy goes. into that ordinary everyday chore, Bob fixed up our old bar- row and took it down to his place. He has plenty of use for it as half his garden lot is a conglomeration of rocks and stones. The remainder of the garden must be marvelous soil as it grows the most wonderful flowers, fruits and vegetables. Joy has been bringing me an armful of beautiful 'mums for the last four weeks. They _had one sunflower — self -sown -- that was so immense it toppled over with its own weight. Help, please! We have another casualty in our animal kingdom. Mitchie-White has some kind of eruption on the back of .tits neck. Of course he scratches and makes it bleed, So I have bound up his foot as I did once before. What to do to cure the condition is another matter. A friend whom I visited ,in Toron- to has a cat with just the same trouble. Another friend says give a teaspoonful of either olive or mineral oil every day. It is good for their fur. If my friend's cats are any indication it must be. She has about a dozen cats with fur as sleek, soft and shiney as a mink coat. I 'have now started feeding our two cats mineral nil. Man Hunt Fora King Three centuries ago, a tremen- dous destiny ran with a fugitive prince, Escaping after the battle of Worcester, fought on September 3rd, 1651, two years after his father was executed, gay, lady - killing Prince Charles- Stuart survived to restore the crown after Cromwell's gloomy auster- ities. As Charles 11 he became the Merry Monarch who was also a shrewd king, and a patron of science and the arts. But for his successful escap- ade, England might have fin- ished for ever with her kings and queens. Narrow indeed was Charle's margin of safety. He t'an more risks as a fugitive prince than most escaping P.O.W,s in the second world war. "Where's that rogue, Charles Stuart? £ 1,000 for anyone who discovers hint!" Such trio; cir- culated far and wide among Cromwell's sternly drilled troops after Charles, with his hastily rallied Scottish supporters. had suffered an awful pounding at Worcester. Their cavalry look- ed fine, but, as a historian well said, the battle was not so much a defeat for Charles as a deser- tion, • ,Charles saw it would be fool- hrdy to gallop off with his pan- icky followers back to Scotland Men who ran a w ay when mounted in good order were unlikely, he reckoned, to stand by him in defeat, How right 'he was. For the bulk of his former army a few days later bumped into a single troop of Cromwel- lian horse and, though greatly outnumbering it, was ignomin- ously cut to pieces, Meanwhile, Charles disguised himself as a country peasant. He cut short his aristocratic locks, the beautiful black hair •that was one day to enrapture Nell Gwyn, and drew on a pair of grey cloth breeches, a leather doublet and green jerkin, .. Originally he planned to ride back,to London, hoping to rally a powerful loyalist faction there, But friends, fearing • for their heads, quickly dissuaded him. Then with one companion only, he tried to flee to Wales, Some ship's master at Swansea could be bribed, he thought, to smug- gle him over to France. .But the enemy pressed hard at his heels.. The very : next day after the battle, Cromwell's scouts, searching for him, forced him to hide in a wood. They, he stayed, quivering in the underbrush, while a troop rode by, Fortunately, it rained consistently hard the whole day, Otherwise the -roundheads must have searched that wood from covert to covert. Towards midnight he ap- proached a mill midway be- tween Bridgnorth and Shrews- bury. Suddenly, dogs began barking. The miller, poking :out his head, yelled "Who goes there?" "Neighbours going h o m e," cried Richard Penederell, one of Charle's escorts. "If ye be neigh- bours," shouted back the miller, - ;'stand your ground or I'll knock you flat." Charles and his companions, sensing that the mill held round- heads, bolted at once. "Rogues, rogues!" was the fierce cry be- hind them. Men poured out of the mill' in pursuit, However, after half an hour's running by hedges, through streams, in and out of copses and spinneys, they" got clear of their hunters, Next they called on a squire they knew to be trustworthy, a staunch Roman Catholic whose mansion was honeycombed with hiding holes for priests. "I daren't put you there, Sire," he said trembling. "The local milt. tta,lcnows each one of them and may : soon tie here to search the house." So, victualled with some cold meat, Charles passed the night in a barn, with corn, hay and rats for company. Wisely, he did not become careless, or assume a hunted look, but kept his wits with royal astuteness. Giving up Ids Welsh escape route, chiefly be- cause bridges and ferries across the Severn were well guarded, he tramped to Buscobel, near Wolverhampton, He meant to shelter in a friend's house, hut was warned against it. tae hid himself, instead, in a giant sale's foliage, Its boughs, lopped off three year's earlier, had sprouted into a thick green. In it Charles lay up for a day* feeding on bread, cheese and small beer, Sometimes he peep- ed out to see roundhead pike- men, searching bushes below for royalist fugitives. Later on he took a woman es- cort, Mrs, Lane, and, mounted with lei, passed himself all as her serving man. On the way to Bristol, his mare stumbled and threw a shoe. While a local smith refitted the shoe, the smith suddenly said, "It's good news those rogues the Scots were welt beaten, but it will be better when that rogue, Chnrles Stu- art, is taken, Charles, his yokel face grim- acing, tidied, "True; and when taken, he deserves to be hanged, having brought so much' misery on the Scots." "You speak like an honest man!" exclaimed the smith. Several times during his flight, Charles was recognized but not betrayed. Superstition, rife in that age, pointed its threatening fingers against him unavailing- ly, His fair-haired escort brou3ht him to a cousin of berg, a Mrs. Norton, who was expect- ing a baby, When Charles sr= • rived, she lost her nerve coin- pletely, crying out, "The King. the King — 1 daren't look ea him." Sht collapsed. Her baby was stillborn and she - herself hovered close on death. Penple arot.nd her looked on the prince as a bringer of evil. He moved off quickly. . artier on, acting his role as valet, Charles rode brazenly la to the. courtyard of a Burport inn „which. was packed with C►'orwellian soldiers. He barged through their midst, lowed .his lady in to the main entrance, and led' the horses in to the best stable. "Help me with their oats," he called out to an ostler. The rel- low assisted, then remarked, "X know your face." Fortunately he prattled on about his earlier services in Ex- eter. "Why yes," said Charles, "1 served there for a year—with Mr. Pater." "That would ba it," murmured the ostler, "L saw you there as a boy. Come, let's haye a pot of beer to- gether," Finally, h, October, alter be- ing for, a month the most hunted man in Britain, Charles boarded a small sea collier et Brighton, or Brightlielmstone ea it then was, a tiny Sussex fish- . ,, port.

THECalvert SPORTS COLUMN 4 e�CPL 7efr9€4O4 • A small, stocky, heavily -muscled (youngster „.weighing 157 pounds broke into the National Hockey League opening night of play, Ills name, Henri Richard, His age, 19 years, His weight, 157 pounds Ills background, junior hockey only, Henri Richard is n younger brother of the famed Rocket Richard'. He's known as the Pocket Rocket. And because of his poundage, there were those who feared the hard-hitting major league would be too much for him But how much roust an athlete weigh to make a place for himself in top company, in a heavy contact sport? Is size everything? To confound those who stress the necessity of weight in hockey, there was Aurel Joliat, one of the great left wings of all time. Joliat weighed 155 pounds when he joined Canadiens back in the 20's. He was pale, sickly -looking, suffered from stomach -trouble throughout his career of 16 full seasons. Rut Joliat had a high competitive spirit; he had glittering skill in handling the puck, and he threw a shot that, while not hard was always delivered with deadly accuracy to a corner of the opposing cage, Then there was Ken Doraty, a close approach to the midget division. His weight was around 125 pounds. On the night of January 16, 1934. in Ottawa, when the teams in the NHL played overtime, Leafs and Senators were tied 4 -all. Into the overtime picture, stealing the thunder of the giants, the midget raced through for three goals in 10 minutes over- time, a modern record. And it was Doraty who, on April 3, 1933, broke up a scoreless Stanley Cup battle between Leafs and Bruins after 104,46 minutes of overtime, by scoring the only goal. Rabbit lvlcVeigh of the old New York Americans was a midget, too. Balding Normie Nimes of the same team was a lightweight. The Good Little Men — they've starred in all sports. Spirit, and the will to win are evidently more important than weight. Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge Si,, Toronto. Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURO, ONTARIO When Is a Whale Not a Whale? When is a whale not a whale? When 'it's a fish. That, at least, Ste the answer the magistrate at a Bergen court gave in a case which recently came before him, It has caused a lot of interest and amusement there, A stall -holder in the market place of the town was accused of selling whale meat despite the regulations forbidding the sale of meat from an open stall. He said he had been selling it for twenty years without pre- vious complaint. "Besides," he laid, "it's fish," That started it,' Norwegian food experts who were asked for a definition said the whale was a mammal and its flesh must therefore be meat. The trader's lawyer then pointed out that this food came from the sea. Could it therefore be anything ether than fish? The prosecution said; "But one always speaks of whale meat, Now can it possibly be fish?" At this, the accused man played his trump card. "Open the Bi- ble!" he cried. And the Clerk of the court read out: "Now the Ldrd had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah." "Ah, yes!" replied the prose- cution, "but the 'great fish' might mot necessarily _ have been a whale," But the defence lawyer had ready a reply, "Look up Mat- thew, chapter twelve, verse 40," he said. "Jonah was in the whale's belly," The court decided at last that whale is "not meat in the ordin- ary sense," though "not there- fore necessarily fish." So the street trader was dis- charged, and left the court con- gratulated on all sides, Dummy Posed For Queen's Portrait It was a perfect summer day, and after lunch the Queen was free of official events. The Duke of Edinburgh joined the children in the grounds of Buckingham Palace but despite her afternoon off the Queen had to go to her dressing -room and don full ev- ening dress, including jewellery. "Her Majesty has a sitting. What a pity on a day like this," said a lady-in-waiting, ,13ut to the artist who eagerly awaited her in the Yellow Drawing Room the Queen gave no hint of her regret at deserting the garden. For nearly an hour she sat motionless, maintaining a diffi- cult pose with but two brief respites. Instinctively she knew when to chat to afford the artist relaxation . , , and when to sit completely silent and still while the painter worked in deep ab- sorption, A week seldom passes, indeed, but that the Queen quietly takes two or three hours of her spare time in order to grant a series of sittings to a painteleor sculp- s.- ; V Watt, n DOOR'S THERE BUT IT "ISN'T" — When a chain grocery recently opened a new branch it didn't just open the doors — it took them away entirely. The weather outside was blustery, wet and getting colder, yet somehow the storm didn't come into the store. The secret is a revolutionary "air .curtain" — an invisible partition. projected by blowers across the entrance. As seen above, it lets the customers enter and leave without a ruffle, but turns back weather as sternly as any door of steel or glass. But it's not effective against burglars, so after hours, the air current is switched off and a steel and glass night door is bolted In place. • HEADED FOk THE PICKLE WORKS—From quenching the thirst of locomotives to salting down pickles is the story of a number of obsolete railroad water towers along the Union Pacific line. They were bought by the Dreher Pickle Company as pickle vats, This tank is being torn down at Sylvan Grove. tor. Pietro Annigoni's wonderful study of the Queen in her blue Garter robes entailed as many as fifteen sittings, totalling twen- ty hours, and even this was no record; When James Gunn, the Scot- tish artist, was commissioned to paint the State portrait, her Majesty surrendered part of her summer holiday at Balmoral. Then, months after the picture had been publicly exhibited, the artist still felt he had not com- pleted the portrait to h' satis- faction and the matter was brought to the Queen's attention, Unhesitatingly she agreed to further sittings in London. Fortunately she need not be present at every session, James Gunn worked for months with the Coronation robes draped on a dummy; and Annigoni bor- rowed, an old plaster model named Rosie which happened to have almost the exact pro- portions of the Queen. When Prince Charles and Princess Anne were shown into the room, they almost ignored their mo- ther's picture but were delight- ed ,to shake Rosie's hand, Then there was the charming sidelight on royal portraiture when Ulrica Forbes was execu- ting a crayon portrait of Prin- cess Anne. When the drawing was halt-flnlshed, the little girl asked, "May I see?" "Not yet, Anne," said Miss Forbes. "Wait until it is finish- ed." The Princess never asked again until the artist offered to show her, The Queen, too, often walks over to examine the pro- gress of a portrait after a sit- ting, But she never makes a comihent. Douglas Chandor, America's highest paid portrait painter, arranged a mirror so that the Queen could watch his work. When he made a false brush stroke, he knew that the Queen knew, But he found that no sit- ter could be more helpful, Simon Elwes, that most 'emin- ent of portraitists, also knows of the Queen's deep considera- tion. After falling ill with par- alysis, he struggled along the high road Qf recovery and was commissioned to paint t ire Queen's ,portrait: But the Queen insisted on departing from pre- cedent and visited him in his studio in St. John's Wood for sittings. It was a tribute to his won- derful struggle. The paralysis affected his painting hand so that he knew he could never paint with it again, Yet this was a battle that had to be fought. Elwes tranferred his brush to his left hand and ultimately won with it the mastery he had enjoyed with his right. The royal portrait was finished and, to celebrate it, Mr Elwes staged a party at his studio Once again the Queen broke with precedent, for she went as n guest and stayed over an hour It was to Simon Elwes, too that Princess Margaret once gave a sitting lasting five solid hours Often, a royal sitting may ac- tually mean a fatiguing standing position. Every year a dozen or more, portraits of the Queen alone are made at the behest of city companies, Comminwealth authorities and the like, and'all members of the Royal Family regard "sittings" as very much a part of their job. One artist likes his_ sitters' to listen to music. A lady -Tri -wait• ing---always present to these occasions—is entrusted with the choice of records. , The Queen ISSUE 50 — 1955 readily puts new portraitists at ease by talking simply of "my husband," "my sister" or "my children," Pietro Annigoni, as a matter of fact, gave her an awkward moment for he originally posed Her Majesty looking towards the darkest confer of the room. But with infinite tact the Queen mentioned that as a little girl in that room she had 'always enjoyed watching the people and traffic from the window. It was an inspiration. Anni- goni instantly suggested a change in her pose and so se- cured the warm expression and clear lighting, When Dorothy Wilding photo- graphed the Queen for the new stamps, expert care was needed to see that Her Majesty's fore- head or chin did not seem to protrude unnaturally, It was the Duke of Edinburgh who first suggested the half -profile —a break with formal tradition —found on the postai stamps of today. When photographers first went to Buckinham Palace years ago, it was suggested that the cam- era would save all the time lavished on artists' sittings. But, of course, camera posing has proved to be just an extra chore, requiring no less care. Cecil Beaton took no fewer than sev- enty pictures of Prince Charles to secure seven which he con- sidered suitable for submission to the Queen, On one occasion, when he had spent over three hours photo- graphing the Queen Mother, he was rebuked by a Palace super- intendent. "Do you realize a man from the Office of Works has been. in the next room for four days? He's been wafting to see Her Majesty for two minutes about the colour of the walls to be repainted in the Throne Room," In the days of King George V, no photographer was allowed to take pictures for more than twenty minutes. Press photogra- phers at outdoor events were even more unfortunate, for they CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING OAST CHICKS WHEN buying chicks keep this thought In mind -It is not what you can save on your initial purchase of chicks by buying low priced chicks but It is what extra eggproduction and extra money you wil make if you buy the beat.

Oneday, when the police drove them back as usual, they de- cided in a body to go on strike, When `the King asked why no cameras were being focused, their spokesmen sent a message. "Unless we can approach to sev- en yards and take good pictures, we would prefer to take noth- ing'.' The King instantly allowed them to approach as they pleas- ed. Today, press photographs are never censored by royalty and some of the finest royal portraits—as that of the Queen riding to the opening of Parlia- ment—have been the result of felicitous accident. Not long ago the Queen had to autograph 500 portraits of herself for distribution to Ser- vice and other centres, It was suggested that a photograph re- production of her signature should be used, but the Queen shook her head, She felt it would be defrauding• the recip- lents; and all her odd minutes for several days were devoted to the autographs, MEDICAL SATISFY YOURSELF — EVERY SUFFERER OF RHEUMATIC PAINS OR.
