ion is still gaining, Ten years ago in
Slincoe County the opposition the Un•
ion met was the prevalent one, people
did not want the farmers to organize
and so started a whispering campaign,'
Throughout the past summer the Un-
ion has gained a lot of concessions.
Through their intery ntion the Western
Grain Act was amended and a conces-
sion was made that at least 35 percent
of grain must be in screenings shipped
to Ontario,"
The question was raised: "Why is
there such a spread between the price
the Western farmer receives and the
price the Ontario farmer has to pay?"
Mr. Miller replied: "Handling char-
ges are misstly to blame, until the
price spread •has increased more and'
more, but as long as fanners 'are wil-
ling to sit at home and let someone
else do their busihess for them, these
things will continue to exist, unless
farmers use their influence to correct
it. Copies of resolutions passed should
be sent to the proper authorities. Mr.

A very successful year in the life of
the church was reported by the various
organizations at the Annual Meeting at
the Blyth United Church congregation,
on Wednesday evening, January 11th,
The meeting began at 6.30 RM, whe•►
approximately 80 people sat down to a
lovely, dinner prepared and served by
members of the W,A, Following the
supper, Rev. A. W. Watson led in a
brief sing -song with Mrs, McDougall
at.the piano. •
The meeting was in the form of a
panel discussion. The panelists were
Mrs, W. McVittie, Mr, and Mrs, K.
Webster and Mr, H. •'1', Vodden. Rev.
A, Watson .acted as moderator, This
proved to be a very popular way to in-
troduce the reports and led to more
.discussion than is usually found. Dur-
ing the meeting musical numbers were
`supplied by members of ,the congrega-
tion. The numbers included a' duet by
Mrs. P, Hoonard and Meta Alblas; a
,duet by Messrs, Walter Buttell and
'James Lawrie; a piano solo by Ian
Griffiths; a saxophone solo by Bill
Young;' a quintette with Marjorie,Knox,
Rhea Hall, Joan Wightman, Meta Alblas
and Anne Jeannette Watson; and a pi•
flno duet with Joanne Hodgins and
Paige Phillips,
In his report, Mr. Watson paid tri-
bute to the untiring efforts of the mem-
bers of the congregation but warned
that financial success did not assure
the church of security. Despite the fact
that the church raised $9,351 for local
liurposes and a new high of $2,100 for
Missions, "unless we have spiritual
foundations, we fail,"said Mr. Watson.
Five new members were elected to
the Board of Stewards to replace The
retiring members, Those elected were

score of 6 to 0, while in the second
half, Winthrop defeated Auburn in a
closer game, -4 to 2.•
The lack of practice showed up
strongly for all teams involved, and

Farm Forum Meetings
On January 16th, 24 adult member:
of the Fireside Farm Forum met ' at
the home of Mr, and Mrs, Mansel Cook.
The topic :was "How Can Fanners Best
Organiic,"
1 (a) As individuals farmers can help
themselves by being as well informed
ns possible by attending and taking
part in the discussion at farm meetings
and farm 'forums, studying bulletins,
making use of AfrIcultural Represen-
tatives, encouraging their children to
join 4-11 Clubs, and producing -top qual-
ity products,
(b) Farmers can help their organize
tions by being the best members they
can. Attend meetings, take part in dis-
cussions, be well informed, know what
they want, and be willing to work for
it, studying' the different problems in
terms of the economics of the country,
select a suitable farmer for a candidate
for Parliament, and vote for him. He
would be in u position to influence
other inembers.
3. We think that the large pressure
group lobbying a parliament might be
more effective in securing quicker leg-
islation changes but believe farmers
should also use the planned approach
to all members of parliament to edu-
cate all classes on the farmers prob-
lem. A few well-informed, good speak-
ers with the backing of a large organ-
ization can accomplish much good.
Most games: Mrs. Harvey Taylor,
Mrs, Bob Riley; Lone hands: Mrs, Oli-
ver Anderson, 13111 Dolmage; Consols -
tion: Mrs. Bob Dalton, Jim Howatt.
Mrs. Jim Howatt invited the group
to her home for the next meeting.

Hearing reports that bear tracks
were evident In East Wawanosh town•

a considerable distance. At one point
where the hear went over an encline

snow with his body, and according to

to sit down and rest at another point.
They did not see the bear who had

sure of its identity from the markings
of the tracks. A bear has reportedly

Josephine Woodcock, on behalf • of the
Lions assembled. • '
Various groups of Lions have been
operating the booth at the arena since
it started operations in December, and
this matter was discussed briefly, Lion
President Jack' explained to the visit-
ors that this was a community service
so far as the Lions Club was concern-
ed, The Lions run the booth, 'and the
arena gets the profits.
Ian Griffiths, guest pianist, was cal-
led on by Lion Jack, and Ian pleased
everyone with two delightful selections.
Lion Bert Gray introduced the guest
speaker, Rev, linrold Stewart, pastor
of the Blyth Church of God. Mr.
Stewart voiced. his pleasure with the -
invitation to attend mrd said that he
felt ho. had something in common with
the Lions Club, as he came from Lions
Head.
Speaking briefly he spoke of the •
various aspects of life, of advancing
times and the advance made in com-
modities and science, especially as a-
gainst the ability of people to get along
together, as individuals, as commun-
ities and as nations, He spoke of the
order of God's plan, First there is
God, then man, followed by the beasts
of the field and finally the plant life.
God sits in dominion over all and man
should remember this as he looks to
him for daily guidance and help. Like-
wise the beasts have access to the
plant life. We should make sure that
these things are kept in order. How
we live this life is the important thing
-the impressions we leave behind
when we pass on are what r,•O1v
count,
Lion Franklin Bainton thati
speaker and suggested that as h
from Lion's Head, he go all of
become a member of the Club.
The entire tempo of the meeting t

get their supper and retire as quickly
as possible.

Found His Penny
Should you ever meet genial
Tom perry he'll probably tell
you the strenge-but-true story
of his war penny.
It begins when Tom was
sheltering from German artil-
lery fire in the cellar of a
deserted farm house near Pecq,
just over the French border in
Belgium. He chanced to put his
hand in his pocket and found it
contained just one penny, a
King George V 1914 penny.
Acting on impulse, he put it in
a chink in the cellar wall.
Along came the 1918 Armis-
tice, he was demobbed and re-
turned home to a job in a War-
wickshire office. Then one day
he thought of that penny and
was suddenly curious to know
whether it was still where he
had placed it.
Years passed, but Toni didn't
forget the penny. He went for
a holiday on the Continent in
'1954 and spent quite a lot of
time and money trying to locate
that old farmhouse. He failed,
but decided to have another go
in 1955.
Back on the Continent he
tramped many more miles in a
further search for the farm-
house. Then he suddenly noticed
a familiar Iandmark, and ten
minutes later he had found the
farmhouse.
It wasn't difficult to persuade
the friendly but surprised farm-
er to let him visit the cellar.
There, sure enough, Tom found
the penny exactly where he had
left it. •
Said Tom, now fifty-seven;
."The farmer listened goggle-
eyed when I told him the story,
Then we celebrated, with home -
brewed beer."
BIRD -FEEDING HOBBY PAYS OFF — C. R. likins, almost 75 years
old, retired in 1950 as an aircraft inspector and has since
parlayed his hobby into a new business — building "scientific"
bird feeders. He's shown above inspecting some of his colorful
"restaurants" In his workshop. In action now from Canada to
Texas, Likin's feeders consist of citrus, tomato juice, pickle and
lard cans for containers and cutup coat hangers for "working
parts." Metal "cone" awnings protect birds from the rain. His
feeders hold from a pint to as much as 50 pounds of food.
He says birds he feeds eat up to 40 pounds of food a week,

What Pioneer Sod Houses
Looked Like
. In reading descriptions of life
of the prairies in the days of
the pioneers we often find "sod
houses" mentioned. But very
few of us have any idea of what
these houses really were—how
they were built and what they
were like to live in. So the fol-
lowing report from The Chris-
tian Science Minitor should give
us a better Idea of how many
Canadians of an earlier gener-
ation "made do with what they
had."
« « •
Twice on a trip across Kan-
sas a tourist may see examples
now of how thousands and thou-
sands of pioneers in Canada and
the United States lived before
wooden dwellings became com-
mon on the treeless prairies, ,
Until railroads and other
transportation brought lumber
within his reach, the home-
steader and his family frequent-
ly lived in a "sod house."
In the northwest corner of
Kansas, about 50 miles from the
Colorado boundary • and. a little
nearer the Nebraska line, a
group of residents have. . con-
structed a full-size sod house to
illustrate that type of dwellibg.
It has proved to be a strong
tourist attraction,
Driving from the east, a tra-
veller will get his first introduc-
tion to the sod house at Topeka,
the state capital, where the Kan-,
sas State Historical Society has
prepared in its museum an ex-
hibit of the interior of a sod
house of the 1880's as one of a
series of "period rooms."
That the museum, consider-
ing the weight on its floors, has
not undertaken a full reproduc-
tion of the sod house is under-
standable when it is noted that'
the walls and roof of the house
in Colby contain 'pan estimated
89 tons of earth besides the lum-
ber in door and window frames
and roof poles.
Sod houses were made by
breaking long strips of soil with
a spade or sod plow and cutting
it into bricks two or three feet
long, about one foot thick, In
these the each was held to-
gether by the thickly matted
roots of the prairie grass, The
blocks were laid with staggered
joints, sod side down, and cracks
were filled with clay. The roof
was sheathed with brush, prairie
grass, and a layer of sod and
clay, •
In the case Of the exhibit at
Topeka the inside walls are
papered with old newspapers,
following a widespread practice
which, as Miss Joan Foth, as-
sistant director of the museum,
remarks, "represented a some-
what futile effort to keep the
dirt and mud from seeping into
the house,"
The newspapers used for this
wall covering are all from the
historical society's extensive col-
lection of papers of the 1870's
and '80's,
The Colby house interior is
just a bit more fancy in that, it
has a plastered wall, The plaster
was applied directly to the sod
without any lath after the ex-
cess grass was .singed off with
a torch, The window and door
frames and rafters were fastened
to the. sod by long, hand -whit-
tled wooden nails.
This sod house, an authentic
restoration of a typical pioneer
house, was built on the fair-
grounds at Colby in 1953. It re-
placed a smaller one built there
20 years earlier by actual home-
steaders as a headquarters for
their reunions during county
lairs,
• Under the homestead law the
minimum requirement in. order
to establish ownership of land
was a dwelling 12 feet square
with a door and window. The
Topeka exhibit room measures
16 by 12 and the house at Colby .
is somewhat larger. It stands
entirely• above ground, whereas
some "soddies" were of a semi -
dugout type.
Again attempting to be true
of history, both the Topeka and
the Colby examples are filled
with a great amount of para-
phernalia.
"Since a family ate, slept and
lived in this one room," says
Miss Foth, "it is fairly clut-
tered," ,
The historical society's room
includes a table of rough, unfin-
ished walnut once used in a
Kansas pioneer home, chairs
that were brought west in a cov-
ered wagon, a buffalo hide for. a
floor rug, blanket rolls, wash-
stand, candles and oil lamps, and
kitchen utensils made by hand.
The Colby house likewise con-
tains a cast iron cookstove, fuel
box, wash board, crank -type
churn, butter molds, kraut cut-
ter, old guns, powder horns, ox
shoes, a rocking chair, an organ,
and a soapstone griddle that re-
quired no grease to fry pan-
cakes. -
Although a sod house lacked
many of the refinements of later
frame dwellings, old-timers re-
call that it had a number of
advantages and was not as un-
comfortable as some may sup-
pose.
Its walls represented a highly
effectivetype of insulation, so
that it was cool in summer and
relatively warm in winter. The
earth floor made housekeeping
difficult, but when a • terrifying
prairie fire swept over the coun-
try it was a refuge that would-
n't burn.
It is thought that more than

Grand Salute To Theatre's First Lady.
By DICK KLEINER
NEA Staff Correspondent
New York — (NEA) — When
Helen Hayes' first heard some
talk that theater people were
going to honor her for her 50
years of acting, she was shock-
ed,
"I couldn't believe it," she
says, "It just didn't "seem like
50 years, I" don't keep a diary
or records or a scrapbook, and
I'd never kept track of the
years. It made me feel old,"
In • fact, her husband, play-
wright' Charles MacArthur, at°
first' opposed the plans for a
"Command Performance" of
theater people to highlight the
anniversary celebration. He
thought it would make Helen
Hayes "feel" decrepit."
"But I don't feel decrepit,"
she says, with the lau'gh that
has charmed theater audiences
since 1905, And she doesn't look
decrepit. She looks pretty much
like, what she is — a charming
55 -year-old wife and mother,
who just happens to be one.of
the finest actresses the Ameri-
can stage has produced.
' She started acting as a child
in her native Washington, D.C.
Then she was seen by Lewis
Fields, one of New York's lead-
ing producers of that era, And
by the time she was a teen-
ager, she was a star She man-
aged to make the transition
from adolescence to maturity'
painlessly, and for the last two
decades has been almost uni-
versally recognized as the First
lady of the Stage,
Looking" back on her half -
century of acting, Helen Hayes
thinks she's had a pretty full
and • exciting. career,
"I have no unfulfilled ambi-
tions," she says. "I've done
about everything I wanted to —
more than I dreamed 1 would
do. I've had a few cracks at
Shakespeare, with varying re-
sults. I've made movies, and
won an Oscar, I. have no re-
grets,"
Miss Hayes, as you might ex-
pect from a womanwho doesn't
keep scrapbooks, says, "1 never
look back over my shoulder
I prefer to look ahead."
And, from that vantage point,
slic thinks the theater is in
healthy•shape at the moment.
"Of course it has dwindled in
quantity," she says, 'but the
quality is better than it was. My
contemporaries — people like
Lynn Fontainne and Katharine.
Cornell and Judith Anderson —
we used to, wonder when young
actresses would come along and
elbow. us out of the way, as we
elbowed the older stars nut, For
years, there was no one,
"But look now — fine actres-
ses like Julie Harris and that
young Susan Strassberg and
young actors like Marlon Bran=
do and Montgomery Clift, And
fine playwrights like Arthur Mil-
ler and Tennessee Williams and
Robert Anderson, The theater
is very strong today "
And there's television, She
thinks it's wonderful—and par-
ticularly good as a training
ground for young performers,
"It's much harder. to get
started in the theater today, be-
cause there is less theater, And
there used to be stock com-
panies, too. But now television
gives a young actor a chance 'to
try different kinds of parts. The
only trouble is TV always wants
new faces =- outside of Marla
Riva and Eva Marie Saint, they
haven't dveloped any stars, An
actor can be washed up on TV
at 25,"
Helen Hayes' career has been
a newsy one, in a non -scandal-
ous sort of way, She was close-
ly involved with the actors'
strike that established Actors'
Equity as a potent theatrical
force, And there was the famous
"Act of, God" baby, her daugh-
ter, whose birth she maintained
was an "Act of God" and there-
fore she should be released
from an existing run -of -play
contract, Years later, there was
the tragic death of this child
from polio.
But mostly it's her talent
that's made her famous, Over
the years, she's run the histri-
onic gamut from comedy to tra-
gedy, played' parts as varied as
Pollyanna and Cleopatra, ap-
peered with leading men .like
John Drew, William Gillette,
Alfred Lunt, Sidney Blackmer,
Philip Merivale, Maurice Evans,
and, in the movies, Ronald Col-
man, Clark Gable, Ramon No-
varro, Robert Montgomery and
Gary Cooper.
Probably her best-known
characterizations were in "Dear
Brutus," "Bab" (her first star-
ring part), "To the Ladles,"
"She Stoops to Conquer," Mag-
gie in "What Every Woman
Knows," "Mary of, Scotland,"
"Victoria Regina," "Harriet" and
her recent appearance' in "The
Skin of Our Teeth" in Paris and
New' York and on television,
When Barry Hyams, the press
agent for "The Skin of Our
Teeth," unearthed the fact that
her 50th theatrical birthday was
nearing and the plans for the
celebration' were proposed,
Helen .Hayes says she wasn't
sure what her reaction would
be.
"1 would vacillate," she says,
"between wanting to do some-
thing great on Broadway to
show my appreciation, and a de-
sire to go somewhere and rest,"
She's decided to rest.
But her idea of rest is four
weeks in Florida, during which
she'll spend one week acting in
"The Glass. Menagerie" in Mia-
mi, Then she'll 'come. back 'to .
on , a new play — "Cock -a':
Doodle Daisy," written by her•
husband and Anita Loos;
Atter 50 'years, there's no rea-
son to expect she'll quit now,

The following article, taken
from "American Farm Youth"
tells how one poultryman gets
premium prices foi his eggs;
and .1 , thought , it interesting,
enough to pass on to you. In-
cidentally, where 11 speaks of
selling eggs at "auctions'? it just
means "wholesalers.
* * •4
Through careful control of his

around, . one New Jersey egg

eggs a year at a 50 per' cent
increase. in, profits on a retail.
route.
The raiser, Abe Berkowitz of
Lambertville, N. J., follow a
closely controlled, all - sh
feeding program and a plan of
careful management of hen ro-
tation; In addition to supplying
his retail route in New York
City, Berkowitz' 5,000 hens pro-
duce 45,000' doze t eggs a year
for the auction. at Flemington,
N,J, '
* * *
Berkowitz reports that sales
on his retail route in upper
Manhattan and the Bronx,
worked two days a week, aver-
age 580 dozen eggs a week; 290
dozen a day; 29 dozen an hour;
a dozen every 'two minutes,
Such a schedule gives little
time for sales talk or displaying
the quality of the product, The
customers, who have been sold
on the Berkowitz egg by the
recommendations of friends who
use theni, will stay sold only
if the eggs hold the same top
quality week in and week out.
* * *
To the Berkowitz customer
the perfect egg is white, light -
yolked and of large, extra or
jumbo size, For this egg, the
Berkowitz customer '.will pay
from 20 to 30 cents per dozen
more than auction prices.
Against a typical run of auc-
tion prices per dozen — me-
diums, 380; large, 400; extra
large, 421,h0; . and gumbos, 49d
— equivalent route prices per
dozen are: 580, 600, 671/40, and
790 respectively.
The minimum premium of
200 per dozen on mediums and
large is 50 per cent better than
auction prices, The.250 and 300
premiums on extra large and
jumbo are 60 per cent better.
* *
The quality egg that attracts
the premium customer does not
occur by accident, Berkowitz
says. Producing it requires
careful feed control. and a close
schedule of- flock rotation,
Berkowitz feeds , his white
leghor•ns on an all -mash pro-
gram. He uses no scratch. The
mash formula is delivered in
bulk by 12 -ton trucks that
pump the feed into Berkowitz's
'three bins.

terLt is high enough to counter-

sential to the productions of
light -yolked eggs. "-
* * *,
Berkowitz . also • believes that
full A potency reduces the num-
ber of eggs with blood spots
Both the A and D vitamins in
the mash must be delivered to
the birds at. full potency to
maintained their health . and
appetite. Without these two es-
sential nutrients egg size, qual-
ity and p>;pduction become it-,
regular, and Berkowitz cannot
obtain the premium. eggs he
needs for his route.
• * * * .
The bulk delivery bin -storage
method of feed-handiing re-
lieves Berkowitz of most of the
labor he would have if he used
bagged feed and leaves him free
to manage his flock and his
route.
But bin storage of the mash
creates heat conditions that are
detrimental to most vitamin
supplements. •
Sun op bins generates tem-
peratures as high as 125 de-
' grecs Fahrenheit and destroys
the potency .of vitamin A and
D unless proper forms of these
vitamins are present.
To assure Berkowitz and
other customers who store feed
in bins that their mash will
retain full potencies of vitamins
A and D, the cooperative forti-
fies its mash with the Micra-
tized vitamins A and D.
The cooperative had a com-
mercial laboratory test Micra-
tized A and D'against a variety
of other vitamin supplements
and found the Micratized vita-
mins were the only . ones. that
would retain full potency in the
severe heat conditions of 'bin
storage.
* * *
Berkowitz says his egg qual-
ity confirms the laboratory re-
sults• on the retention of vitamin
potency in the mash the co-
operative supplies, He has less
than one •per cent of dark-,
yolked eggs and his incidence of
blood spots is similarly low.
* * *
With good feed to produce
high quality eggs Berkowitz
couples careful hen rotation to
achieve steady production of
large eggs, Unlike egg raisers
who sell only to "auctions, Ber-
kowitz cannot replace his flock
entirely every fifteen months.
The wholesalers can take all
their hens at the same time
through the' small egg period
when their laying careers begin.
With no steady requirement for
large eggs, the small egg period
amounts to a. production lull for
the wholesaler and a time of
lower income, but it does not
endanger his market, •
4: * *
For. Berkowitz a period . of
small eggs would be a period
when he could not deliver the
premium ,eggs his route re-
quires. To avoid such lulls, he
replaces his flock gradually.
Each year he raises 4,000 new
pullets. With these pullets he
'replaces 3,000 of his 5,000 hens
at the end of their fifteen month
laying career, Of the remaining

Her Nightmare
Unearthed Murder
Mrs. Gordon Tombe came
down pale and haggard to the
parsonage breakfast table at
Little Tew, in the rural fastness
of Oxfordshire.
"I dreamed of Eric," she said,
"It was terrible, I dreamed he
was lying dead at the bottom
of a well, half -forced through a
,kind of hole. And yet therewas
transferred to a Paris branch
and was practically spent.
It seemed obvious that Eric
had cut loose and was buying
himself quite a time. Yet his
mother's Weird recurrent dream
still persisted.
Then Mr. Tombe at last struck
a lead, A barber remembered
not only Eric but also a friend
whom he had introduced, a mail
named Ernest Dyer, living at a
farmhouse oddly called The
Welcomes, at Kenley, Surrey,

Her husband, the Rev. G. C.
Tombe, tried to reassure her,
"Your nerves are on edge," he
said. "Our boy will surely conte

It was then autumn. Ever
since Apr;i of that year -1922 --

still, cluttering the hall mat, un-
opened, No doubt it was natural
in the circumstances that an
anxious mother should dream of
accidental death and even mur-
der,
But she hsd the hideous night-
mare again . , and yet again.
The stone slab in her dream
seemed to be in the grounds of
a farm, sealing a well, where
far beneath the body of her son
lay still and quiet. With grue-
some persistence, the vision
haunted her sleep through
weeks and months. •
Finally, the nightly torment
grew so extreme that the parson
resigned his living and went to
London determined to search for
his son by .every means in his
power. He made inquiries in the
shops and restaurants neigh-
bouring his son's flat, He pester-
ed Scotland Yard, and perhaps
the C,LD, detectives found the
old clergyman somewhat of a
nuisance.
For. the police had, of course,
already 'made a' routine investi-
gation' and discovered that che-
ques duly signed "Eric Tombe"
had been drawn from Paris dur-
ing the summer on the young
man's bank account, Moreover,
the sum of $3,700 had been

farm. Locals of whom he asked
the way gavcr him some queer
looks. He began to understand
the reason when he found him-
self gazing down a grass -grown,
briar -tangled drive. At the far
end the farmhouse was a ruined
shell, gutted by fire.
But local gossip at Last sug-
gested a possible motive for
Eric Tombe's disappearance.
Tombe and Dyer in partnership
had run The Welcomes as a
racing table. Tombe had sup-
plied the cash and Dyer the ex-
perience. The latter, a big bet-
ting man, had once wagered
every penny he had on a rank
outsider in the Lincolnshire and
had pocketed $45,000 when the
horse romped home at 33-1,
The money had been swiftly
dissipated in London's night-
clubs and, subsequently, the
racing stables had enjoyed no
great success, There had been
a fierce outbreak. of fire and
trouble over the resulting in-
surance claim. Indeed, the in-
surance inspector asked so many
awkward questions about the
petrol tins he found in the gut-
ted building that Dyer did not
press his claim.
Instead, Dyer and Tombe both
disappeared. Not far from the
stables, however, was living ' a
woman who regarded herself as
Dyer's widow, Dyer, it seemed,
had perished in a road crash in
France and she had received .a
final cheque for' 4:00 from
Tombe winding up poor Dyer's
afnirs.
The leter, signed "Eric Gord-
on Tombe," and dated July
1922, looked conspicuously nor-
mal,. But the Rev, Tombe felt
instinctively that it had been
forged.
His hunch was that his son
was dead and that Dyer still
lived. Once more Mrs. Tombs
endured her terrible dream. The
fact that The Welcomes had
been a farm could no longer
be overlooked. The old parson
went to Scotland Yard, repeat-
ing the details of the dream,
and begged them to scour the
grounds. More to humour him
than anything else a few po-
licemen were deputed to search
the place — with startling re-
t. sults.
Every yard was overgrown
' and dilapidated. Yet in a corner
of the paddlock the police found
two stone slabs covering dis-
used cesspool's, Both were
pumped dry — and found emp-
ty, •
The police shrugged their
shoulders, Mariy a dream hunch
has proved fruitless before now.
But suddenly a young constable
gave a cry. Almost hidden he-
neath grass tufts was a third
slab. Under it was a cesspool
that had been filled with stones
and rubble.
• The searchers dug with rising
excitement. It was hoursbefore
sufficient rubble had been re-
moved to reveal a manhole
cover. Beneath it was another
hole similar to that described by
Mrs. Tombe from her dream.
And here, hunched up, head
• downwards, were the remains
of the body of a man.
Hideous gunshot wounds at
the back of the head, injuries
that could not have been self-
, inflicted, disclosed proof of foul
play. Though little remained of
the thing that had been Eric
• Tombe, a watch -key in one of
the tattered pockets, an in-
scribed wrist -watch and gold
fillings in the upper jaw proved
identity.
The discovery was made on
September 12th, 1923, almost a
year after Mrs. Tombe first had
her dream. And evidence at the
inquest set the date of the
grime as April, 1922, six months
before the onset of the recurring
nightmare.
The verdict was one of mur-
der against Ernest Dyer. His
wife had seen him one night the
previous summer hurling large
stones down the death pit. But
'where was Dyer now? Oddly
enough, he, too, was dead. Un-
erring 'ustice, though thorough-
ly blindfold, had caught up with
him long months before.
There's a flashback in fact to
an occasion in November, 1922,
when the Scarborough police
successfully got on the track of
a confidence trickster named
James FitzSimmons, who was
wanted for questioning after
palming off a number of dis-
honoured cheques on northern
business men.
When asked to step round to
the police station, FitzSimmons
played for time, "Do you mind
if I get a few things from my
room?" he asked the inspector.
They mounted the stairs togeth-
er, but suddenly the con man
brought a revolver from his
pocket. Before it could be pre-
vented rte shot himself and
rolled over dead.
Dyer -- alias FitzSimmons—
must have thought that the body
of . Eric Tombe had already been
discovered. In his luggage was
Tombe's passport, with Tombe's
signature 'and Dyer's picture.
Here, too, were blank cheques
and practice sheets of forged
signatures.
It was Dyer who diverted Eric
Tombe's funds to' Paris. Dyer
killed himself on November
16th, 1922. Though the date was
never definitely pinned down,
this could have been the eve of
Mrs, Tombe's first nightmare.
Did the murderer signal his
ghastly secret from the grave?

Parables on Discipleship
Luke 14:7-11, 16-24
Memory Selection: Whosoever
exalteth himself shall be
abased; and he that humble&
himself shall be exalted. Luke
14:11, •
How very practical is thi
teaching of Jesus for the every-
, day relationships of life, in, so-
cial and business as well as bi
spiritual matters! He was en-
tertained often in humble homes
and in the' homes of important
people. What a delightful guest
he must have been—gracious,
courteous, sincere and friendlyt
He must have been politeness
itself, but unaffected and genu-
ine.
In high social circles it is very
important that the people at the
banquet be seated according -to
rank, It is embarrassing for the
person who has pushed himself
forward to be asked to take a
lower seat. The person who is
called to a higher seat is in a
more favorable light. Sometimes
the humbleness of the act of
taking the lowly seat is more
apparent than real. Some indi-
viduals take pleasure in being
spotted and called to the plat-
form in the presence of all
when they knew they were des-
ignated to sit on tate platform.
Ministers are frequently guilty.
God knows the heart.
None of us would think of
refusing an invitation from the
Queen. Yet many neglect the
invitation of the King of kings
to the great gospel banquet pro-
vided at so great a cost. Most
people do it quite politely, But
whether they say, "I pray then
have me excused," or "I cannot
come," the end result is the
same. They miss the banquet.
The excuses in the parable are
trivial. No wise man would buy
land without seeing it or • oxen
without testing them. No groom
would want to miss the oppor-
tunity. of showing off his bride.
They were only excuses. The;
remind one of the man who went
to his neighbour to borrow e
rope. The neighbour replied, "1
cannot lend it to you, for I am
using it myself to tie up a heap
of sand." "But," said the first,
"you cannot tie' up sand with a
rope." "Olt, yes," returned the
other, "you can do almost any.
thing with a rope when you de
not wish to lend it."
No excuse will stand at thy
judgment.
REMINDER -
Little David was saying hLt
prayers one night. After the us-
ual "God bless Mummy and
Duddy," he came up with: "And
please make Tommy stop throw-
ing things at me. By the way,
I've mentioned this before!"

The Old Days Recalled By
Gordon E. Wightman
Grand Isle, Vermont, •
Christmas Night, Dec. 25, 1955
Dear Mr. Whitmore:
Mrs.. Wightman and I are In the 44tH
year of our married life, and today
has been the first Christmas we have
been alone — In our own home, free
to open stacks of Christmas presents,
listen to programs en Christmas radios,
eut our simple Christmas dinner of
stuffed roast chicken, and snooze or
read or watch the birds gorging on a
double or triple helping of crushed
peanuts, butt, and sunflower seed, Chic-
adces, nuthatches, woodpeckers and
bluejays have learned after four pre-
•cecding winters, that in the Wightman
woods they are .safe from molestation,
and the chickadees will now come and
alight on the hand or the white knob
atop my winter cap. The last ten days
of sub -zero weather has made the
problem of food gathering a major can•
cern for the little feathered friends of
the woods and they almost dare but
not quite to come right inside the win -
(low into the roost Into which they can
and do peer while food is being made
reedy for them.
This noon we listened to a radio sta-
tion in Montreal (75 tulles north -cost
o[ here) give a trans -Canada broad-
cast, sponsored by "Canadian Alman-
ac," 1t was a recorded program of In•
terviews of actual Christmas activities
in locations in Canada from Vancouver,
White Horse, Yukon, Edmonton, Win-
nipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, and
finally a llghthousc on the most east-
erly cape on the North American coast
line, at Cape Spear, Newfoundland.
As we listened my mind flashed to the
journeys of Scrooge in Dicken's story

the spring of 1912. No sign of a break-
up appeared until Good Friday, April 5
v: hen the great depth of snow started
to melt rapidly and in four days time
all tial roads were quite bare and even
dusty in places. Dr. Weir, who started
his practice in Auburn in 1905 recalls
having to go out of the village when
the thew started on a confinement' case
and on having to remain away over
night, had to walk home the next day
to enable his horse to draw the empty
chatter over the bare roads, On Satur•
c ay, the second day of the thaw, the
river rose to almost record heights and
the current started to batter the west-
ern abutment. This made the water
s.verve eastward and form a strong
eddy which undermined the centre pier
and caused it to lean westward. By
this time the north wing of the west
`atment had broken off and it looked
as though the whole bridge was going
to be destroyed. Fortunately no rains

spans remained standing and entact.
The west span was taken down to make
r-wm for a still wider one. The old

coanty bridge but the location is un-
known. Scaffolding was put under the
cistern span and this half picked up
to allow the damaged centre pier to be
removed.

the gravel used, the stronger the mix-
ture of concrete. For this reason he
always sought coarse gravel and In
this way he eliminated fine material
which might have contained consider -
1 able clay. With him on the job was
his son, Elmer, then about 16, who con-
tinued on construction work for many
years. For several terms he served in
the Huron County Council as a repre-
sentative fron%tcphen Township.
The concrete work was completed on
schedule but the erection of the west
span, as 1898, was long delayed. The
river was high and hard to ford. It was
' a common practice for those crossing
in a buggy to keep their feet dry by
keeping them on top of the dashboard.
Among the Auburnites who worked
on the erection of the steel wire were
George Beadle as riveter and Joseph,
Carter as rivet heater. The most im-
portant piece of equipment in the er-
ection was a sort of military besieging
tower almost as high as the bridge and
perhaps 16 feet the other way. It was
called a runner. It had a large plat•
form on top to which the steel was
raised and then riveted or bolted in
place. When one unit vas completed
this miniature trojan horse was moved
forward on rollers to the next, Th'
rivets were heated on in a small forge
on top of the runner. The specifica-
tions called for a reinforced concrete
floor in the new span which was not
put in until the next summer when
.Joseph Lawson and Elmer returned to
finish their contract. While here they
put a concrete casing around the east•
ern stone abutment. They also remov-
ed a short span made of square cedar
which for many years had served as an
approach at the east end of the bridge.
:This space was filled in with clay and
gravel; This 1912 bridge remained as
it was completed until demolished a
few weeks ago.
The contract for the new pier and
:1'autment was given to Lawson and
Witherspoon of Crediton, the one part-
ner Joseph Lawson, being in charge of
Lie work. The first objective was to
remove the damaged centre pier, It
tlrmbled and _hook a little when the
first charge of dynamite was exploded
bit further charges failed to budge it
Heavy charges could not be used as
they endanger the timbers in the near•
by scaffold holding up the remaining
span, and the whole structure had to
be taken down stone by stone. When
this was completed the constractorr
started to build a cofferdam to remove
the piling on which the pier had been
built, They erred In not building a
.,trong cofferdam at the stat and had
no end of trouble until some steel
.:beams from the dismantled span were
�
used to strengthen the sides of the
d:.m. After many trials the piles were
removed and the pit sufficiently ex-
ccted for the concrete by a certain Sat-
urday night about the middle of Aug•
set. The contractors decided to proceed
with the pouring of the concrete that
very night. During the afternoon a
large skip hopper mixer was moved
to the extreme west end of the span and
sufficient bags of cement stored beside
it. A large pile of gravel was hauled
to the east end of the bridge and alt
was made ready to start operations by
dark. A number of the regular bridge
gang augmented by several young
men of the village pushed wheel bar-
row loads of gravel across the bridge
to the mixer all night,' The northern
part of the foundation was poured
first. On top of this a large stock pile
of dry mixture was built up until sev
en in the morning when operations
ceased and the upright centrifugal
pump operated by a long belt with a
half turn from a steam tractor, was re •
' moved and the accumulated pile was
moved into the water carefully to pre.
vent the washing of the cement. Ml
hands went to breakfast but came back
to work until noon when the contrac-
tors decided the base was of sufficient
height above the water of the river
The steam engine used on the pump
was owned by Fred Youngblut of Hul•
lett. It was 'the first steam tractor
used for threshing here and was-orig-
innly purchased by James Mutch and
operated by Robert Stalker. It was a
beautiful old machine and saw many
more years of active service,

Maitland was running 'as high as in
spring flood. After about ten days the
water subsided and a start was made
to erect forms on top of the foundation I
that had been submerged for days. The
forms for the tapered structure were
laid out by George Lemp who for a
long period was Auburn's undertaker
and furniture dealer. We doubt if thts
work was much of a labor to him as
he had been making tapered struc-
tures for msny years. John McKnight
was the master carpenter. Leslie Bu•
chanan and William Govie' helped
pour the concrete. With the work un-
derway again, no more gravel was, tak-
en across the bridge by tvheel bar-
rows. Instead the wagon loads of gray

T. Roy Patterson was a member of a
family offs boys and 5 girls whose
parents were Donald Patterson and
Eliza Lawrence. Their paternal grand-
father, Peter Patterson, a Scott, was a
cooper by trade. Their nmaterial grand-
father, Henry Lawrence, was a cabinet
maker. These gentlemen were original
settlers in the north-west of Hullett
township, taking up farms about 1860
about a mile apart on the 13th con-
cession. Peter Patterson plied his trade
as a cooper for some time and his first
shaving horse is on exhibit in the Hu-
ron County Pioneer Museum at Gode-
rich. Mr. Lawrence (the Mr. being a
term of respect) as he was known,
macre a great deal of furniture that
found its way into many pioneer log
houses in Hallett. One of the standard
pieces was a high chest of drawers or
bureau, with two deep, top drawers at
tithe; end and two drawers half their
height in between them, The chief pur-
pose of the deep drawers was safe re-
positories for grandmother's bonnets,
so much in vogue in those days, Some-
times grandmother hid her Christmas
cake„in the bottom of one of the draw-
ers. All the drawers were fitted with
a lock. One of Mr. Lawrence's pieces
of furniture could well find a place in
the Huron County Pioneer Museum. .
Roy was born two miles north-east
of Auburn on the farm now owned
by his cousin. Nelson Patterson. After
attending U.S.S. No. 16, Ea st-Wawanosh
he graduated from the Goderich C.T.,
and went to Alberta to teach school in
the summer and homestead in the
winter. Seven out of ten of Mr. and
Mrs. Donald P5ttersoh's family home-
steaded in Alberta, Roy and his sister,
Florence, Mr, Wm, Anderson returned
to Huron. The others remained. Law-
rence, Peter and Donald still live re-
tired there. Roy graduated in 1918
with high honours from Queen's Uni-
versity. In the summer of 1019 Donald
Patterson requested from the Huron
County Council a leave of absence to
visit those of his family who had set-
tled in the West, stating that Roy was
willing to carry on his duties while
absent, The request was granted and
on his return Roy was appointed Coun
ty Engineer.
T. Roy Patterson found Huron Coun-
ty with a system of highways that for
seventy years had been unequalled in
Western Ontario considering their unl•
formally good surfaces at all seasons of
the year throughout its entire length
and breadth, This was accounted for
by the fact that its early legislators had
spent large sums of money, some of P.
borrowed when 10 percent, Interest rates
were considered moderate, to good ad •
vantage. The builders of these early
roads were aided by our heavy clay
sub-'uil which makes a good founda-
tion and by ample beds of excellent
gravel within convenient distances of
each other. As for road building equip•
ment, there was none with the excep-
tion of a few horse-drnwn graders.
plows, and slush scrapers.
Aanong his first instructions was an
order to rake up and remove from the
roads surfaces all loose stones. The
task was a big one. In 'some places
they were used for fill near where they
were raked up and in others they
were drawn.away in wagon loads, This
greatly improved the appearance of the
roads and the comfort of travellers, es-
pecially the ever-increasing number of
automobile users. What a boom this
would have been some years earlier
to the owners of bicycles end pnu+t-
matte tired buggies, From this time
until the use of crushed gravel the
large stones were 'left in the pills and
the few that did reach the roads were
raked in between loads and covered up,
Those travelling the county roads
continued to notice a continued gradual
improvement. The small expenditures
work was started • from the east and
progressed westward until the east pier
of the third span was completed just

the river was dammed, above the new

Of Huron' County's population of ap-
proximately 50,000 people, 38,000 est•
eligible for X-rav, including high school
age and over. Since the last mass sur-
vey in the couuty,'`eonducled in 1952,
there have been over 70 admissions to
roneto•la from within Huron. Over the
lest 10 years the T,B. death rote in On-
terlo has fallen 76 percent, but the In-
cidence of cases lies dropped only 15,
and according to C. H. Bray, of the
•
Ontario Department of Health, 'Toronto,
who attended the meeting, the main
reasons for reduced death rate are the
early discovery of cases and improved
treatment through drugs. "Chest X-ray
Surveys find a high percentage of early
cases than any other case finding
method," said Mr. Bray.
The survey In May will be conduct-
ed on a three level organization, with
the county being divided into five dis- •
tricts end each district divided Into
five areas. Over 5000 volunteers, all
Huron County residents, will be re-

Cotoustiot—
"Dear Anne Hirst: Five years
ago I married a.lovely girl, and
we have had a wonderful mar-
riage together; our little boy is
the apple of my eye, 'I had
thought my wife was as happy,
too, but a month ago she took
the child and went back to
her mother, I am desolate with-
out them.
"During last summer/ we
spent our week ends in a near-
by town where her parents
liked to visit their own families;
they all were congenial, and I
thought it was fine for our son
td get out of the city and live
a rural life. My wife never
seemed to want to go, but when
she arrived I thought she en-
joyed it as much; it solved sev-
eral problems we had, and 1
knew her parents wanted us
along.
"On a recent visit, though, 1 •
had an angry disagreement
• with her father. I lost my tem-
per and made a fine fool of my-
self. My wife is devoted to him,
and it made her furious, When
we got home she told me she
hadn't loved me for a long
while and she wanted a divorce.'
My only excuse is that I was
nervously and physically ex-
hausted and had several things
on my mind — which is no ex-
cuse at all.
"I love my wife devotedly,
and had no idea I had ever seri-
ously offended her.... I am ut-
terly lost. I visit her and my

GROWING RESENTMENT
* If your wife stopped loving
* you some time ago and had
* not let you know, she was
* ready for any excuse to leave
* you. Your disagreement with
* her father gave her that, and
* she took it,
* You must find out why her
* affection for you has de-
* creased. The past few years
* you may have been complete-
* ly happy in your marriage,
* but your wife was not, You
* may have been so engrossed
* in your career or with the
* problems you metnion • that
* you had not been as attentive
* as usual; you may have gone
* your own way as many hus-
* bands do, oblivious to her
* growing restlessness.
* She may have needed more
* entert'Jinment, 1 h e active
* growing boy may have drain.
* ed her energies and she grew
* more and more dissatisfied.
* These summer week ends
* were not of her choosing, and
* she may have subconsciously
* resented their regularity and
* boredom, 1 cannot know —
* but she does, and it is your
* concern to find out the root of
* the trouble.
* Go to her humbly and ask
* how you have offended her,
* She owes you an explanation,
* and as she gives it you will
* see what chance you have to
* regain her good will, at least;
* then you can prove your re-
* morse and start all over
* again. If only for the sake of
* the boy, ask her to be genes-
* ous. If there were any deeper
* cause for her dissatisfaction,
* I think you would , have
* sensed it,
* I take it for granted you
* have made your peace with
* her father; if you haven't,
* don't lose another day. You
• behaved like a naughty boy,
* you know. Older men are
* often more lenient than one's
* wife, and now you need his
* approval to support your
* cause.
* When one has known love,
* life is doubly empty without
* it. Perhaps your wife is miss-
* ing it, too, and needs only
* your plea to enjoy it again,
, * *
WHAT PRICE: HONOR?
"Dear Anne Hirst: Recently
I met a married man, and I
think 1 am in love; he treats me
respectfully, and we have lots
of fun together. He' has been
separated from his wife for four
months and told me he intended
to get a divorce., . •
But now she is coming back
to him for the sake of their
little girl. We still yearn to be
together. Shall we;
JANIE"
Would you deliberately em-
bark on a 'clandestine rom-
ance, sneaking around back
streets so you won't be seen
with a married man? True,
his separation gave you some
hope of marrying him later
on, but the imminent return
of his wife changes the whole
picture.
Do you want your name to
bandied about town and have
nice girls shun you? Do you
think any decent boy would
want to take you out again?
If this is your idea of love, '
nothing 1 can say will change
it. But 1 warn you, you invite
humiliating and perhaps tra-
gic consequences when you

CHRONICLES OF Ginger Farm
Sunday was a very happy day
for us. Our grandson was here
. for a brief visit, And such a jolly
little boy. Still white and rather
thin but with more pep than he
had shown for several months.
The minute he was in the house
he made a bee -line for the place
where we keep his toys. I think
if even one were missing he
would know it. But none was
missing, in fact we had added a
few building blocks to the small
collection of playthings. These
pleased him so much that he
refused to be parted from them
. when it was time to go home,
The clogs also came in for plenty
of attention—Rusty and Dave
sort of playing hide-and-seek
around the kitchen and dining-
-room, Now that Dave is corning
along so well we are hoping we
shall see a little more of him
at Ginger Farm—just s� long as
the weather holds good.
Well, that was our bright spot
for the week. 'Other occasions
were not quite so satisfactory,
Johnny's heifers, for instance.
, Ever since last spring Johnny
has had eleven yearling heifers
pasturing here. They had easy
access to water so all Partner
had to do was count them every
so often to make sure they were
all there. Thin one day last
week—•a cold and windy day—
Johnny decided he had better
load the heifers and take them
home—home being the farm he
is working ten miles from here,
So over he came with his small
truck and a hired man, ,But
the heifers had other ideas, Di-
rectly the 'round -up' started
they went completely wild, So
Johnny got two other men to
help him. The result was the
same—only more so. The heifers
either broke down fences or
jumped over them, got into a
neighbour's field and on the
whole gave the men a real old
merry chase. The heifers won
out by a wide margins. So now

We have our own heifers in an-
, other field but they are like
iambs by comparison, ,Strangely
enough we have heard of other
farmers who, this year, have
had , more trouble than 'usual
.rounding up young' cattle,
Our own barnyard 'problem
was not heifers but our cow with
the three -months -old twin cal-
ves, The cow suddenly decided
to get sick. So there was a ses-
sion with the 'vet,' liniment to
use, medicine to give, and the
calves to wean. Now, after a
week of extra attention Bossy is
well on the road to recovery,
The next excitement was last
Thursday night. Partner and I
were out in the kitchen getting
a `night -cap' --hot milk and .a
.buscuit, if you're curious, I
sniffed suspiciously—"I smell
Skunk." ,
;'Could be gas from the stove,"
said Partner,
"No, it isn't gas, it's skunk,"
I repeated. Both dogs, I am •glad
.to say, were asleep by the kitch-
en stove, But I remembered the
woodshed door was open—could
a skunk have come so close' to
the house? I opened the kitchen
door leading to the woodshed.
and in rushed—no, not a skunk,
but poor Mitchie-White. What a
sight! One eye completely closed,
the other, half shut and streaked
with red. Mitchie ran straight
to his milk dish. "Put him out!"
said Partner—but I noticed HE
did not make a move. "Wait," I
said, "let the poor thing have a
drink' first. The ,damage •is done
now anyway," Presently, using
an old rap as protective cover-
ing I picked up poor Mitchie-
White and put him outside
again, hoping the cold air would
act as a deodorant. In the mean-
time Partner was exploring the
woodshed with a flashlight —
fortunately without any disas-
trous result. First thing next
morning Mitchie was back in
the house; His ey,;s were back
to normal with only a red streak
down the side of his face to
mark the spot, And glory be, the
odour was hardly noticeable —
just so long as we kept him at •
a distance. Nearly all that day
Mitchie hardly left the house.
He had evidently learnt his les-
son—and learnt it the hard way.
The next incident shows how
women love to get something
for nothing. I happened to be •
down town early Saturday
morning and suddenly remem-
bered a new store was being
opened that day. So, with the
rest of ,the curious people, I
went in to have a look around,
As an excuse I made a small
purchase and then at the cash
desk, to my surprise I was pre-
sented with a shopping bag
,containing a variety of items.
I had completely forgotten the
first 250 customers were to re-
ceive a gift 'of miscellaneous
merchandise. It was quite a good
collection of samples. But what
.amused me was the delight .of
the lucky first -comers. It didn't
matter what was in the bag just
so long as it was a give-away
treat, In a groeery store one
woman said to another'—"Look
what I've got—(showing her
bag) have you been in the new
store yet? No? Well, you'd
better hurry—the bags are go-
ing out fast!" Before I had
bought all my groceries, the
second woman .was back, tickled
pink because she, too, had got
a grab bag! How foolish can
we get?

Fine Needlework
All through the ages fine
needlework has been the mark
of a lady. Infinite patience, skill
in workmanship, appropriate
materials, and delicate colors or
rich hues make heirloom trea-
sures. .
Many of the early embroid-
eries were done in wool on
coarse canvas by counting the
threads of the canvas. This was
termed canvas work, later
known as needlepoint. Some-
times the wool design wholly
•
covered the canvas. Sometimes
a large part of the canvas or
fabric background was left un-
decorated.
Some modern crewel pieces
feature the designs in wools of
many different colors, while oth-
er designs are carried out in
several shades of one color. This -
latter method was popular in
the Colonial era. , , ,
Needlepoint as we know it
today was introduced to England
by Mary, the wife of William
of Orange. It became quite a
vogue during the 18th century,
and is still very fashionable for
use in traditional homes. Be-
cause of the lovely designs, and
the sturdy wearing qualities of
this wool stitching on a canvas
ground, it has never been 'out
of style since its first introduc-
tion and has steadily grown In
popularity. , ; .
Many early needlepoint de-
signs were created by famous
artists of the period. As(flowers
and swirls of the rococo style
became more fashionable, the
small stitches such as the diag-
onal stitch or half cross stitch
became more popular. •
Some of the centers of the
decorative motifs were worked
in petit point, or 'small stitch,
while the surrounding area was
worked in gros point, or large
stitch. Some of the designs con-
trasted silk thread with wool
thread, while other designs were
pointed up with china or glass
beads.—From "The Story of Fine
Needlework" in "McCall's Trea-
sury of Needlecraft." •
They Pay To Sit in
This Farm's Ditch
Farmer Jesse Reese felt on
top of the world when his geiger
counter revealed that uranium
was lying all over'his land near
Comanche, Texas,
But his prospect of great
wealth swiftly faded. The urani-
um turned out to be such low-
grade stuff that the govern-
ment wouldn't buy it.
Then one day a stranger
knocked at his farmhouse door
and said: "Radiation therapy for
my rheumatics has cost me a
small fortune during the past
years. D'you mind if 1 conte
and sit on your land for an hour
and get a little free treatment?
I'm told it's radio -active so it
ought to do me good:"
Jesse consented and the'stran-
ger felt so much better after
• squatting in one of the large
radio -active ditches on' the
farm, that he spread the word
round.
Pretty soon scores of men and
women from miles around be-
gan to bring their aches and
pains to Jesse's ditches,
It wasn't long before they be-
came a great nuisance. They
left gates open and spread lit-
ter, So Jesse charged every
person two dollars to sit on his'
radio -active soil. But that didn't
stop them, 13y the en -1 of that
week rheumatism s u ff e r e r s
were queueing up to get in.
Jesse suddenly saw that here
was a wonderful way to make
money. He built a huge shed
in which sixty people could sit
on the- soil which, as shown by
the certificate which Jesse now
exhibited on the wall, was giv-
ing out some kind of rays,
To -day Jesse is netting an in-

Occupation. '
On an average, Miss Frances
Williams, a petite and pretty
Pennsylvanian, attends three
weddings a week throughout
the year. And at every one of
them she's a bridesmaid.,
She claims to be the world's
first full - time professional
bridesmaid and earns a big in-
come.
She noticed that the ordinary
bridesmaid rarely knew her job
properly — how to button and
arrange the bride's dress, how
to 'ensure that the bride looked
her best and so on.
So Miss Williams launched
out as a full-time bridesmaid at
fashionable weddings.
In church she is always at
hand to whisper advice to the
bride. At the reception she
makes everybody feel happier
and -everything go smoothly,
In France they call Madame
Faes "the most tactful woman
in the world." She earns a good
income by writing other peo-
ple's letters — including young
folk's love letters.
When an ardent lover wants
to write his sweetheart a "real
scorcher" and feels incapable
of finding the right words, off
he goes to Madame Faes. In the
privacy of her office the love
leiter is written, full of felici-
tous phrases and pulsing with
passion!
Some people living in East -
London and in the north of
England still earn money by
acting as human alarm clocks.
They don't make a fortune from
knocking people up early in the
morning, but it must pay then!,
for they go on doing it, year
after year. A few of them
arouse shift -workers by firing
pea -shooters against window-
panes. '

PORK SURPLUSSES TO
' LAST UNTIL MAY
Predictions that substantial surplus.
ses of pork will continue to hang over
the Canadian market up to May, 1956,
were made today by Charles McInnis,
President of the Ontario Hog Producers'
Association, in a report to the organiza-
tion's Board of Directors meeting In
Toronto.
Mr. McInnis said that although the
consumption of pork had increased sub-
s stantially during 1955; particularly to -
1 wards the latter part of the year, and
weekly disposal of hogs tied reached re.
_ I cord levels of 115,000 hogs to the do -
Imestic market and about 8,000 In cuts to
,the U.S.A., a surplus of between 25 to
30 million pounds was in prospect for
the first six months of 1956.
To market hogs at reasonable prices
2 in a market situation of surpluses pre-
sents a challenge to the Ontario Hog
Producers' Association for the year a-
head, Mr. McInnis stated.
Elaborating on the factors which con-
tributed to an increased consumption
of pork in 1955, the Hog Producer pre-
sident said that a combination of lower
prices and an excellent" selling cam-
paigh on the part of Canadian chain
stores had boosted consumer demand
ifor pork.
The surplus situation in Conada In
the immediate months ahead is parti-
cularly critical because the world mar-
ket for pork is not good, Mr. McInnis
said, European and Arnerican produc-
t ers have greatly increased their output,
and in Great Britain there has been a
recent slump it pork prices. If Cana-
dine producers were to ship hogs to
England today, Mr, McInn:e stated, ij
was doubtful that they could -get more
1 than 19 cents per pound.

In a discussion of the Federal Gov.`
ernment's floor price of 23 cents, the
Board of DIrectors of the Hog Produc••
ers' Association doubted that hog pro-,
i ducerethroughout the province actually
knew the mechanics of the support
price. The Board said that et present
the government has only agreed to
purchase those hogs which are deliv-
• ered to the Toronto stock yards and
for which'no buyer has offered a price
of 23 • cents or more. The government
1 has not promidsd to purchase hogs
which are delivered direct to the pack-
Ing plants.
