Past Weeks Storms Disrupt Telephone Service ; - March, the unpredictable month, has so far lived up to, and surpassed `ulI expectations weathcrwise. During the past week practically every kind of weather conceivable has visited not' only this district, but all of Western Ontario, We have had sleet, exceptionally high winds, rash, a real old fashioned blizzard, and the odd rays of the sun, thrown sin we sup- pose to remind us that all Is not in vain, and spring .is still sure- to scone. IIardest hit as a result of the high winds and sleet was local and district telephone communications, Almost all lines on the local exchange were out through line damage in many parts of the System. Other Systems bordering tthe Blyth System were just as heavily I hit, Bell Telephone lines both north land south of Blyth on No, 4 Highway were a tangled mass at various points The local exchange was rapidly getting back to normal by the middle of this week with Linesman Jack McGee and helpers working overtime to get ser- vice restored to subscribers. - Power interuptions were few and of short duration, the longest ,being on Sunday afternoon for about 1141 hours Winds of almost hurricane •force passed through this district on Sun- day morning, , but so far as we know ro major damage resulted, W. M. S. Meeting It is assumed that the icy condition of the roads and the disruption of tele- phone service was the reason for the non-appearance of Miss Florence El- ford, of 'Seaforth, who was to be the guest speaker at the meeting of the Women's MIssionary Society in Blyth United Church, Monday evening. Fortunately, through the forethought of the leaders in charge, Mrs, K. Web- ster and Mrs. J. Walpole, an emergency program had been arranged which con- sisted of a panel discussion with Mrs, J. Walpole leader and panelists, 'Mrs. Webster and Mrs. L. M. Scrimgeour who discused the progress made by the native Indian people through residen- tial schools in the reserves and the story was told of their accomplishments in the past as well as the present. Summing it up thusly, "The Church 'has a place in the future development of the Indian people," so that they may i he trained to take their rightful place in our Canadian Society, which is their heritage." Mrs. Peter Hoonard, in her native Dutch language, sang "Jesus still lead on" accompanied by Miss Clare Mc. Gowan, Mrs. Moody Holland told the story of a prairie missionary, Mrs, Marjorie Hanna, who is in charge of a three point circuit of churches near Regina, The president, Mrs. W.

Forum Discussion On Workmen's Compensation The Livo Wire Farm Forum held their meeting Monday, March 12th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Firsnken with 21 ndults present, The discussion was on "Workmen's Compensation." (1) ]t was thought that compensa- tion of accident policies were a good thing. If everyone carried _.accident insurance such as O.A.A. or D.A.A., they would be covered other than just on the farm of the farmer paying into connpensation. Some thought we should have more information on the benefits and the costs. (2) In our Forum only one farmer keeps hired help. Most of them trade work, so it would be of no advantage. but if hired help were used it would be an advantage, Mr, Ted honking conducted the busi- ness period, It was moved to take a collection next week of 50c per family for flower fund. The next meeting to be held at the hone of Mr. and Mrs, John Snyder.

Thirty-two players competed in the, two. series with all 32 being matched at the beginning and the losers drop- ping to form the (B) series. With the exception of the finals In the (A) series all sets were the best two -out -of -three games, Burning Hydro Wires Bring Out Firemen During strong winds and heavy sleeting early Thursday morning of lasts week, firemen were called out when broken electric wiring in front of Ar- chie Somers residence on Morris street became entangled 'with the limbs of a tree. The broken wirefi which hal been driven down by heavy sleet and high winds were still alive and set fire to the tree. The power was disconnected and re- pairs made without any further damage. Light Bulb 'Gives 27 Years' Service Something of a record for service in an electric light bulb was reported to The Standard n week ago by Miss Jos- ephine Woodcock, King Street, Miss Woodcock hnd to replace the cleetri' light bulb in the back kitchen of her residence. This is certainly not news for those of us who are replacing bulbs almost daily. What is news is the fact that the bulb had been used, in the same socket in the back kitchen ever since the lights were installed in Miss Woodcock's dwel- ling, 27 years ngo. Granted the bulb did not get the use it might have else- where on the premises but it certainly must nave been made of sturdy mater= sal and with fine workmanship. CORRESPONDENCE MISSING The stormy weather, and the lack of telephone• communications must be responsible for the absence of som. of our weekly correspondence budgets. We trust these ladies will be back next week with a large' than usual budget We know our subscribers will miss the news from these various districts, and ye Ed. has certainly felt the pinch, trying to fill up the vacancy which the news budgets usually take care of, Community Sale Attracts Crowds, Good Livestock Another excellent attendance was recorded at the Community Sale held at Blyth last Saturday afternoon.

Final Plans Laid For Lions Smorgasbord Final touches were put on the pro- gram of March 23rd at the regular meeting of the Lions Club lust Thurs- day night. March 23rd is the night of the Card Party, Smorgasbord and Dance being sponsored as their second annual of this event, Last year it met with an excellent response from the public, and bigger things are planned for this year. The event will begin at. 8.30 p.m. with a card party, followed by the Smorgasbord and n' top-flight entertainment program of local talent which will necessarily be of brief dur- ation. This will be followed by a dance to the music of Mac Taylor's Swing Kings of Guelph. Mac was here before and his music delighted n large crowd nt that time. It is felt, that ninny people will want to hear tha music of his band, even though they may not care to dance. All this is of- fered at one popular ndmission price We understand that a chorus line such as the June Taylor dancers of TV fame is being organized. This in itself should be worth the price of admtssion. Tickets for the event may be procured in advance front members of the Club. The regular meeting of the Lions Club scheduled fur March 22nd will be cart - celled in favour of the Smorgasbord which falls the following evening. The meeting was shortened some- what when the speaker of the evening, Flt. -Lieut. Ben Garrett, Protestant Chaplain of RCAF Station, Clinton, could not conte because of inclement weather conditions. Delightful vocal solos were given by Mrs. Harold Campbell with Mrs, Jack McDougall nt the piano.

The ladies of St. Michael's Altar Su- ciety were duly thanked by' Lion Ray Madill for a,most delicious dinner, The approaching TB chest x-ray project was discussed and local com- mittees will he established. Lion President Jack McDougall ask- ed for volunteers to go to a meeting of either the Paltnerston or Arthur Club to bring back the travelling lion. Almost everyone present volunteered The meeting closed with the Roar. tel TABEE TALKS ;; � ` in! elate AndtteWs In old-time baking, measur- ing was a matter of judgment. Recipes called for "butter the size of an egg," a "heaping cup at sugar," or "enough flour to stiffen." The results varied with each cook, And with every trial. No wonder baking was a hard- won art! • • • Today, there's no need for guesswork. Modern testes. reci- pes all talk a common language. They are founded upon exact, standard measurements -- the use of standafd measuring cups, standard measuring spoons, and level measures. These measures are the same in every kitchen. They make it possible to get th• same Ane baking Jesuits, every time. • • • So use standard tools for your baking. You can buy these in almost any town. You need standard measuring cups, one for the dry ingredients, another for liquids, and one or two sets of standard measuring spoons. With this simple but correct equipment it is possible to mea- sure acurately every ingredient called for in the usual baking recipe. * • • A standard measuring cup is an accurate half-pint measure—the equivalent of 16 level table- spoons. It is grooved on one side to read 1/4, 1/2, and 2/4; on the other, to read 1/2 and 2,,6. For measuring liquids a glass mea- suring cup is convenient, as the top extends above the cup line and so prevents spilling. A set of graduated measuring cups has advantages, too, for level mea- surements of 1, '/i, t/, and 1/4- eup amounts of dry ingredients or shortening. A set of standard measuring spoons includes one tablespoon one teaspoon, one half -teaspoon, and one-quarter teaspoon. The tablespoon is the equivalent of level teaspoons. All measurements are level. That's the success rule for every modern recipe. The exact tech- nique for measuring each ingre- dient is given here. This is the way to get uniform, exact mea- sures every time! SWEET ARRANGEMENT — If you have a nice taste in flowers, you'd enjoy this floral offering. Blossoms of sugar and a vase of almond paste are placed on display at a pastry and confec- tion show in Paris, France, by master confectioner Jean De- Blieux. Flour has a tendency to pack on standing. So always sift flour once before measuring. Remem- ber, the woman too busy to bo— ther to sift may put an extra half -cup of flour In her cake and ruin it, Lift the sifted flour lightly by spoonsfuls into the measuring cup and level off by drawing the edge of a spatula or straight knife across the top. (Do not press flour or shake it down in cup.) • • • For fractions of cup, fill cup slightly to the proper fraction mark, Or use the correct mea- sure of your set of graduated cups; fill and level off as just directed. Use a dry standard measuring baking powder. Even a little too much or too little can give disappointing results, Be sure to use the baking powder called for in the recipe and the exact amount specified. Use special care in measuring spoon. Dip the spoon into the. baking powder and fill it full. Then level off spoon lightly with edge of spatula•or straight knife. For fractions, use the small sizes of your set of measuring spoons. • • • There are several ways to measure solid shortening, Small amounts are more easily mea- sured by tablespoons: fractions of cups may be measured in graduated measuring cups. Use one of these convenient ways: (1) Press shortening into a measuring cup (or tablespoon), packing it tightly. Then level off at top or fraction mark. (2) An easy way to measure butter is by weight. Allow 1 pound for 1 cup. With print but- ter, 1/4 pound equals 1 cup. (3) Or measure shortening by water displacement. For ex- ample, to measure 1 cup short- ening, fill cup half -full of cold water; add shortening until wa- ter rises to th.- top of cup; then drain off all water. This leaves 1 cup shortening in the cup. Measure melted shortening like a liquid. - • With granulated or white su- gar, fill a standard measuring cup or spoon with the sugar, and level off with edge of spa- tula of straight knife. Brown sugar needs to be pack- ed into the cup so firmly that it holds the shape of the cup when turned out. This gives a consistent measurement. Average -sized eggs (medium to large) are used in these.reci- pes. If using small eggs, allow about 31/e tablespoons slightly mixed whole eggs for each egg in recipe. • * • Use special care in measuring liquids for undermeasuring is a common fault. For accuracy, set measuring cup on a level surface. Other- wise the surface of the liquid may slant and deceive you. Fill until liquid flows into the correct groove -mark of cup; do not undermeasure. • Thick liquids and syrup, such as molasses, corn syrup, or honey, should be poured into the spoon or cup from the container or from another spoon. If the cup has already been used to measure shortening or water, the syrup will empty out readi- ly. Do not dip a measuring spoon into sticky liquids for too much will cling to underside of spoon, causing overmeasurement or waste.

DARK -EYED MELINDA FOOLED 'EM ALL London — (NEA) -- In Bri- tain the Asquiths speak only to the Astors, and the Astors only to God. But American -born Me- linla Maclean, wife of Soviet spy Donald Maclean, was an excep- tion, - Dark -eyed Melinda had both the Asquiths and the Astors speaking up for her in public. She also fooled Sir Winston Churchill's son, Randolph. None suspected that she, herself, was a double-dealer, perhaps the cleverest of the lot, Society swells rushed to Me- linda's defense following the flight to Russia of her husband Donald, one-time head of the American Department of the British Foreign Office, with his friend and fellow diplomat -spy, Guy Burgess. "Don't Malign Melinda," was the watchword in the best Bri- tish circles. • • * Now that Melinda is revealed to bo living in cozy comfort with her co-conspirators in a dacha just outside Moscow, some of Britain's most aristocratic faces are crimson. To think that this charming girl could turn out to be a Communist plotter and renegade, tool Among the reddest faces is that of Lady Violet Bonham - Carter. Lady Violet is not only an Asquith, the daughter of a British prime minister, but a good friend to have in time of trouble, It was Lady Violet wha helped Donald Maclean get his first job at the Foreign Office; she sat on the selection Board that tipped him `for the post. It was Lady Violet who help- ed to create the picture of Me- linda Maclean as the poor, inno- cent, long-suffering wife of a brilliant, but erratic husband, who divided his time between alcohol and Communism, Was it Melinda's fault that Donald Mclean turned out to be a 'traitor? After all, Melinda, herself, had no interest in poli- tics, Was she to blame that Mac- lean also became a booze - hound and a pervert? Hadn't her husband tried to strangle her that time, in Cairo? And didn't he desert her for the Russians just as she was about to bear him his third child? • • • So it was argued in the best British circles. And 39 -year-old, Chicago -born Melinda took full advantage of the favorable climate of opinion thus created. For Melinda had a problem: she needed to get clo- ser to the Iron Curtain, so that she could duck behind it quickly -when the time came for her to join her husband. So Melinda came to Lady Vio- let Bonham -Carter with a pite- ous story of how she, Melinda Maclean, was being hounded and persecuted by the British press as the wife of "The Missing Dip- lomat." It was an elaborate build-up by Mrs, Maclean for the removal of her family to Switzerland, where they could enjoy "greater privacy." Lady Violet fell for the story hook, line and sinker„First, she wrote a letter' to The Times. It just so happens that The Times is owned by a friend of hers, Colonel J. J. Astor, Lady Violet called his attention to what she described as a "flagrant viola- tion of the ethics of journalism,” an interview with Melinda she described as phony. Next, Lady Violet got her son- in-law, Joseph Grimond, a Mem- ber of Parliament, to raise the matter in the House of .Com- mons. Randolph Churchill, Sir Win- ston's son, sprang to Melinda's defense with another letter to The Times about journalistic ethics, Another Astor, this time Da- vid, publisher of The Observer, broke a lance in Mrs. Maclean's cause. Even after Melinda crossed to Russia in September, 1053, Da- vid Astor could find nothing harsh to say about her. He still believed her to be the innocent wife, "demure and peace -lov- ing," whose loyalty to her hus- band had proved stronger than her common sense. Those who have studied the Maclean -Burgess case carefully claim that it was "demure, peace -loving" Melinda who had the nerves of steel: That either Donald Maclean or Guy Burgess would have cracked up under her ordeal, or taken to drink, And the Maclean children, in between Marxist-Leninist les- sons, can now boast to their Russian playmates how their clever mother made complete mugs of Lady Violet and th. Astors, FEATHERS Dr. Christian A, Wolf, inter- nationally known physicist, a native of Denmark,' states that experiments which he has made prove definitely that birds hear through their feathers, especial- ly their tail feathers, While birds have regular ears, much of their acute sense of hearing, Dr. Wolfe says, come through the auditory aid of feathers.

Lawn Work Either in new lawns re. pairing, we sow grass seed early. Grass thrives when the weather is cool and damp. Grass seed usually comes in packaged mix- tures. The reason is simple, We want some early seed that will germinate and grow quickly to• provide some green and will also provide some shade for the slower germinating, finer and more permanent sorts. Also it is a well known agricultural fact that a mixture of grasses or clovers will give a thicker stand usually than a single variety sown alone. Of 'course, for very specialized purposes such as bowling or putting greens we niay use a single variety, but for ordinary lawn, mixtures aro best. Lawns, of course, should be as level and the soil as fine as possible before any seed is sown and that job is, best done on a windless day. Directions regard- ing the amount of seed should be followed carefully. Too many people seem to forget that grass is a crop and it will appreciate fertilizer and watering just like any other crop. A well fed lawn on good soil, will soon crowd out most weeds. The Real Foundation Good seed is the very founda. tion of any successful garden. In this matter it is well to re- member that we live in Canada and in this country we have our. Own sort of climate,• soil and weather. For that reason it is most advisable to make sure that we get seed, and nursery stock especially selected for growing in Canada, hardy and vigorous and that will mature or bloom in our own particular climate. If we stick to the Cana- dian seed catalogue from any reputable house we cannot go wrong. Because every seedor plant that is listed there has been actually tested in Canada, has been grown successfully in our own climate and is especial- ly suited to Canadian condi- tions, `Tailored Soil Thousands of words have been written about the ideal type; of garden soil and much more will be written, But it's a simple . matter really, in spite of some of the big technical words that are often used. As a matter of fact almost anyone, unless he lives up on the perma- frost, can build up an ideal garden soil if nature has not al - UNIQUE HONOR - First U.S, woman entrant ever to win the Olympic gold medal for figure skating, Tenley Albright poses in Cortina, Italy, holding her medal and other Olympic awards.

Virtually all plants, annual or perennial, big and especially lit- tle, porter what the experts term an open rich loam. Now, this simply means a soil that Is loose, that will dry fairly quick- ly and without baking hard, This permits the' roots to go down easily and well, and it also holds moisture and absorbs sunshine, If one can dig the soil easily, if it crumbles when dug, rather than packs, we simply make it more open by digging In manure, or green mulch like grass clippings', weeds or a cover crop of rye or oats or buck- wheat or almost anything that will eventually decompose and mix with the soil. If, on the other hand, our gar- den is sandy, we follow almost the same course and dig in lots of green stuff and manure to provide some body and water holding ability, Of course one does not create ideal garden soil overnight or even over one season. It may take a year or so, particularly if the original is hard sub -soil clay or something similar, In this connection it would be ad- visable to speed matters with an application of one of the soil conditioners now on the market, These will open up even the toughest clay if applied proper- ly. The main thing with garden soil, as with regular farming operations, is to keep plowing or digging in all the vegetable refuse we can get hold of, It is also an excellent idea to have a compost heap. Fined For Tooting His Own Horn Andre Dubois, the Paris Pre- fect of Silence, had better look to his laws to see that there are no loopholes in them, I have to report an alarming development, While Prefect Dubois has banned the automobile horn from Paris, it is still the law in England that every car must have fi)ted to it an instrument capable of giving audible warn- ing of its approach. The other 'day this law led to a strange occurrence in a Yorkshire court, And that in turn led to a new legal ruling about automobile horns. In effect this ruling is that. legally the horn is the in- strument itself or casing and not the noise that comes out of it. If this should also prove to be the law in Paris, the most formidable disturbance could ensue. Wet'e Parisians to learn how to produce a sound like that of an automobile horn without any mechanical instru- ment they could hoot with im- punity. I leave the consequence to M. Dubois' imagination. For that is what Mr, John Lawrie Br9wn learned to do - he learned to make a noise like an . electric horn without ac- tually having an electric horn. He did not, however, .hoot with impunity. Mr, Brown in fact was pre- • sented before the magistrates at Dronfield charged with hav- ing no warning instrument fitted to his truck. He entered a please of not guilty. When it was time to present the case for the defence Mr. Brown rose and stated that he kept beside him on the driving scat "a piece of an old horn," "I consider," he said. "that this complies with the law," And then he launched his thunderbolt. "For," hn declared with studied emphasis, "I myself can imitate an electric horn. And I have been able to do this perfectly, since I was a small boy." The court seemed taken aback. So Mr, Brown, driving home his advantage as he would his •truck,'asked if the court would like an example of his talent, by way of proof for ids case, 1. lluppy 29.

"Glossies" are thumbed into molds before final forming of certain parts. Their presence is said to reduce shrinkage, and strengthen the molded items. Costs are said to have been reduced some 80 per cent by use of the mibs. Mr. Cyril Callow, chairman' of the bench, said, "Well, er, yes." (Almost immediately. afterward lie wished he had not.) The sound of an electric horn rang round the walls of • the court. It was an electric horn to end all eletric horns. It was also an electric horn to end all courts. The terrible soUnd rushed out of the room and ran echoing eerily through the cor- ridors. There was then a long silence, for which all present except maybe the defendant were pro- foundly thankful. The magistrate decided that while Mr, Brown could indubi- tably make a noise like a horn, he was not in fact or in law himself "an instrument giving audible warning of approach." So they fined him ten shillings. The London Daily Mail, sens- ing a human story behind this case in a hitherto dusty court, sent a reporter to interview Mrs, Brown, "Just the sort of thing he would do," said Mrs. Brown, as her husband went his rounds In the, Birmingham arca. "He claims it's a better warning than anything manufactured. "It's like the worst kind of Klaxon horn. I've heard it many times -never got used to it. "Before we .were married we djd a lot of motor -cycling. Sometimes I'd be on the pillion, and he'd do his Klaxon imita- tion. It nearly frightened. me off the back, "It certainly cleared every- thing out of the way. "He has elaborated it since he was a boy. We thought that as he grew more middle-aged he wouldn't do this sort of thing. But he has." Mr, Brown's son and daugh- ter have 'never copied their father's tricks. Mrs. Brown sighed. "There's a grandson, though," she said. "We've done everything we can to stop hien, but his imita- tion of an electric horn shows promise of being worse than his grandfather's." A whole new generation of electric horns may be growing up, Many of them are going to be tourists in Paris, They may teach Parisians '3 hoot. If I were M. Dubois I'd make cer- tain that Gallic logic changes the law so that what counts there is not the instrument but the noise. - John Allen May in The Christian Science Monitor. STARTED ]PRONG Two fathers were discussing the upbringin of children. "Yes," said one, "a great deal depends on the formation of early habits." ' "It does," agreed the other. "My mother paid a woman to wheel me about when 1 was a baby, and I've been pushed for money ever since." Belated Fame For Vaudeville Actor Back in the eighties a young actor named Frank Bacon was playing in California vaudeville with his wife. They had a baby, and .like many young' couples they needed more money than they had. But then he had an idea - and idea that might make enough money, and win enough fame, to solve all their problems; an idea for a play about a hotel on the state line, half in Nevada and half in Cali• fornla, and combining . , , the best features of both, He finally got it written - with what ef- fort and what joy, only the amateur writer knows - and sent if off to a producer (or maybe an agent) in New York, And nothing happened, It made the rounds of the New York producers, and noth- ing continued to happen, Mean- while Bacon and his wife con- tinued to play in vaudeville, and made a living; but baby grew older: with pain, Bacon ' cut down the play that embodied the Idea into a vaudeville act, which kept them afloat, But it was a long way from California vaudeville to the glories of Broadway; he still hoped for better things, still kept sending the play around - and at last a producer took it. He gave it to the best play doc- tor of the time for reworking: it was produced on Broadway, with Bacon playing the laed; it ran longer than any play had ever run in New York up to that time, and he made a mil- lion dollars out' of it -when he was sixty-four. - From "But We Were Born Free." by Elmer Davis.

Jesus Institutes the Lord's Supper Luke 22: 7-23 Memory Selection: As often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew forth the Lord's death till he come, I Corinthians 11.26 This is a very appropriate les- son as we approach the Easter season. It was the last evening before the crucifixion. There were smile saddening circumstances. There was a strife among the dis- ciples, "which of then should be accounted the greatest." Per- haps that is why no one of them offered to wash the dusty feet of his companions. That was the office of the lowest in rank. No one was going to thus compro- mise his chances for position by doing this menial task. Jesus laid aside his garments, girded himself and washed their feet. Il was a lesson they would never forget, The way to greatness is the way of service. At the table that night Peter was rebuked for his boldness and self-sufficiency by the pre- diction that before the cock crowed twice he would' deny Jesus three times. Peter didn't believe it till it happened. Then he went out and wept bitterly, Judas was there. When Jesus had identified him as the be- trayer he went out to do the fiendish deed. It was not a hap- py evening, But the occasion lives in the hearts of Chistians around the the world for a more important reason than any of these. Jesus instituted a lasting memorial of his death. The broken bread sym- bolized his body that was broken for us and the wine, his blood that was shed for us. As we partake of these our hearts are humbled. Why did he love us so? We are rebuked for our self- ish ambitions and our self-suffi- ciency. We are led to rely more fully on his sacrifices for us. It is not enough to believe that Jesus was a good man, the best that ever lived. 'I11 the suppers we are reminded that he was the Son of God, That's why. "His blood atones for all the race, and sprinkles now the throne of grace." •In Him there is forgiveness and cleansing from sin. Let us partake of the bene- fits bought for us at so great a cost.

Rice Anthracite will give you more heating comfort for every dollar spent than any other fuel. The variety of heating fuels arc increasing with each year. Several grades of fuel oil are avail- able, as well as propane gas and also radiant. elec- trical heating. Now we will admit that any of these methods of heating are convenient but for this convenience you certainly sacrifice economy. That is why we say thin Rice Anthracite is priced to suit any pocketbook. There just isn't any other fuel that will give you as much solid heating' comfort for every dollar spent as Rice Anthracite. So why don't you as a buyer of fuel investigate the economy of Rice Anthracite. See us soon. A. MANNING �3 SONS The minutes of the previous meeting Phones sung by Barbara and John MacKay.

Directly, the farmer as an indivilual is a buyer of steel and on the farmer's prosperity rests the prosperity of the farm implement business, which is one of the three Canadian industries using the most steel. he two other largest direct customers of -_ the steel industry are the railways and the automotive industry. '('hese also are largely dependent on the farmer's pros- perity. Moving crops to market is the part of railway business on which nearly all the rest is based. Motor vehicles owned by the farmer or by other people moving foodstuffs account for a large part of the total automotive business. , Because it is in the steel industry's interest that the farm- er have profitable crops, the industry must try to keep clown the costs of steel products the farmer must buy. This company is constantly acquiring new facilities to produce more steel for more people, THE STEEL COMPANY OF CANADA LIMITED MONTREAL GANANOQUE HAMILTON BRANTFORD TORONTO PAGE 6 Tilt MYTH STANDARD ' Vednegday, March 14,19 Letter To Clinton, Ont., 12th March, 195 The Editor, Blyth Standard, Blyth, Ontario. Dear Sir, Since arriving at Toronto from Mani- tobaaun Monday, 5th March, 1 have held a series of meetings in the Lon• 'don to Goderich areas. Unfortunately, Mr, Grelg, the Secre- tary Fieldman of the Federation of Ag- riculture, has not checked with actual happenings in Western Canada or else he was grossly misinformed. The reason why none of the Prov- inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta have a Hog Producers Sales Agency is because the Farm Unions are advocating and pressing for an overal' Producers' Livestock Marketing Board that will handle cattle, sheep and hogs We do not believe that a marketing hoard will work satisfactorily when one commodity is handled to the ex- clusion of the other two and further- more we hope to go much further that a Sales Agency, which is only the in. itlal step—we hope to be able to con- trol the livestock front the farmer to the consumer. You have made a cotnpicte mistake Mr. Greig, when you say that we have nu marketing legislation to permit us tc operate sales agencies or marketing hoards in general. Both Manitoba and Saskatchewan have legislation that tufts Ontario's marketing legislation to shame in so far as controls and "teeth" in the Act is concerned dealing from the farmer, to the packer, to the whole• slier, to the retailer, and ultimately to the consumer. Only in the Province of Alberta where the Farmer's Union of Alberta and the Alberta Federation of Agriculture are loosely affiliated do we not have proper legislation. Last year legislation to establish Producer Marketing Boards on all pt(,ducts ex- cept livestock, were finally enacted by the Social Credit Government. In all three Western Provinces the Stock Growers Associations are fairly powerful and they oppose any and all forms of marketing boards. 9 Mr. Greig states that, "if the Union wants to prove their support for Pro- ducer Marketing Boards let them pro- duce some concrete results in the pro- vinces where they claim to have great strength of membership." Anyone Liv' ing in the West would not even bother answering that unjust criticism but perhaps it svould be in order to leave a few of the efforts in that regard, here in Ontario. The Editor Producer, is the West's second larges newspaper and is published by th Saskatchewan Co -Operative Pool Ele stators. In this report* on the Western Stock Growers Association Conventio► held February 2nd and 3rd in Calgary it states and I quote; "Another thing made clear was that, In the opinion .'t President, Roy Marler, of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture, the set-up of the Ontario Hog Marketing Board would not be 'acceptable in Alberta'. Nor did he think the proposed Mani- toba and Saskatchewan Producer Live - Istock Marketing Plans acceptable," Later Mr, Marler saki, "The Ontario Itog Marketing Plan is not comprehen- sive enough to be effective, he thought." In the same press report on the same Convention the following appear. ed, and I quote; "Henry Young, Pres!• dent of the Farmer's Union of Alberta declared the idea of a producer live- stock marketing board followed demo- cratic principles of majority rule. Pro- ducers should market their products as a group and a eninority should not wreck plans of the majority, he told the general meeting. Boards probably would be more efficient than people who 'have no direct concern in the producer' under the present system, he concluded." (end quote), OBITUARY JOHN JAMES FOSTER John James Foster, 81, a former resl- e dent of Blyth, and retired Ashfield township farmer, died Saturday in the Goderich hospital after a short illness. j Horn In Ashfleld township, he was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs, Irwin Fos- tcr, of Port Albert. He retired to Goderich In 1945, Ile was a member of St. George's Anglican Church, Gode- ' rich, and of Victorin Lodge No. 182, L,O.L, 1 Surviving besides his wife, the for- mer Margaret Nivins, of Blyth, are two daughters, Mrs. Floyd Leslie, of Leamington, and Mrs. Myrtle BannIs- ter, of London, two sons, Irwin, of Kitchener, and Clayton, of Sarnia, two j sisters, Miss Elizabeth Foster, of Knt- i chcner, and Mrs. Orion Ralph, sf i Lumsden, Sask., 14 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, The body was at the Stiles funernl home, Goderich, until Tuesday whet. a funeral service was held at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. K. E. Taylor, of Si.. George's Anglican Church. Burial was made at Dungannon cemetery, A ser- vice was held at 8.30 pan. Monday by the nUlcers and members of Victoria iLodge, L.O.L. When in Blyth Mr. and Mrs, Foster resided in the dwelling now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Turvcy, This should be sufficient to indicate the position of the Western Farm Un- ions but I have much more inforrp•►- lion and many more clippings here with ane (and even more at home in Manitoba) to prove more than con - elusively every statement I have made here. I hope Mr. Greig will check with us in the Farm Union be- fore he unduly criticizes us. I'm not answering his other comments be- cause it pertains to Ontario where 1 am certain someone will answer him if any other errors have been made, We are still working for an overall Producers Livestock Marketing Board Plan in Manitoba and the other Prov- inces but so far our Liberal Govern- ment of Manitoba have indicated their opposition to the livestock plan and have refused to grant us a plebiscite to allow the farmers to decide. After all what can you expect when we have such a diversity of opinion among our re -Operative and Federation Spokes - nen. (1) On October 15th, 1953, the West- ern Farm Unions called a livestock conference at the Marlborough Hotel in Winnipeg. The Conference endors- ed, in principle, the establishment of u producers livestock marketing hoard. Many organizations were represented hut the Federation of Agriculture were not present. (2) In less than a month the Fed- eration had picked a Hog Committee to study the possibilities of a Hog Mar- keting Board in Manitoba (this was a Board of Directors decision only, their delegates at their Provincial Conven- tion in June of 1952 did not even se- cond a motion to carry forward a plan for a Hog Board and it was dropped then). (3) A further livestock Conference was called by the Farm Unions, late in January of 1984 in Saskatoon it was decided that each Province should and would have to work for their own live- stock marketing boards because Fed. cral Legislation did not provide for that in Itself. After each Province would secure their own marketing hoard under Provincial Legislation al. ready in existence, then they could be co ordinates! under Federal Bill No. 82. (4) Manitoba invited all organize tions and livestock producers to a Producers Conference in Grace United Church on April 6th, 1954. This was sponsored by the Manitoba, Farm Un- ions and 1,000 livestock producers at- tended. (5) The Conference had both the overall livestock producers marketing plan of the M,F.U., discussed and the Hug Marketing Plan of the M.F.A,C The delegates voted overwhcl►ningly in favour of the overall livestock plan and only a handful of around 25 voted for the Federation Hog Plan. (0) The support of the Manitoba farmers was becoming dear but only two weeks later the Manitoba Co-op- erative Pool Elevators called a one day Livestock Conference in Brandon at which about 1,000 attended, Mr, W. J. Parker, President, (and Vice -President of C.F.A.) and his able staff of seven fieldmen, etc., wanted the grain grow. ers (belonging to his co-operative or• ganization but also being livestock pro- ducers to varying degrees) to take no part In the support for a Prodtucers Board for livestock. Each one of the men who attended were paid mileage and expenses to attend and we did no' lead till one year later that this Con- feretce cost $7,000.00 which was taken (not from grain producers monies) but from Western Co-operative Livestock Agencies, which is the Co -Operative Commission firm for the three Prairie Provinces.

Perhaps I have dealt at too much length on this subject but hope your readers feel that there is - ome information and facts here that hey will appreciate reading. s Yours very truly, RUDY USICK. M.F.U. Director, District II1, rickson, Manitoba), E Letter To The Editor The Editor, Blyth Standard, Blyth, Ontario. Dear Sir, One of the policies of the Farmers' Union is to support producer marketing boards and co-operatives, -Mr. Greig in his letter in the last edition of your paper makes a big is- sue out of the fact that one township could elect ull the directors; If elected front the floor of a county meeting. This was not the intention of the hog producers that attended the meeting in Clinton. It has been suggested that a Hog Pro- ducers Organization be set up in each township, and have this organization elect the township delegates, I agree 100 percent with this idea; I do not think that the Hog Producers Organ. ization will become u dead issue as Mr. Greig states. Mr. Greig states "You know what you have in the Federation of Agricul- ture". The inactivity of the Federation of Agriculture is the reason we have a Farmer's Union; with a mernbershy of approximately 24,000 in Manitoba; 75,000 in Saskatchewan, 05,000 in M- berta, 1,000 in British Columbia, 15,000 in Ontario, In closing 1 would like to ask one question. If the Canadian Federation at Agriculture is all we reed, why is the farmer at the bottom of the heap o -day.

While no rabies has been diagnosed to date in Huron County your readers will be concerned with the proximity to us of established cases in Western Ontario, Some of the wild animals which may carry the germ of rabies ere capable of travelling a consider. able distance in their search fur food. Rabies or hydrophobia is a virus in • fection which attacks the nervous sys- tem. It is spread to humans and warm-blooded animals by the Intro - I duction into the body , of the rabies virus, and this Is usually by the bite of a rabid animal, In rare occasions it has developed from the contact of the saliva of such an animal with n scratch or otlier break in the skin of the victim. Because of various factors such as the intervention of clothing the sev- erity and position of the bite, rabies shies not necessarily develop following an attack by an infected animal—some authorities state that only five of fif. ,teen percent of persons bitten by rabid dogs, and untreated, actually develop the disease, 1 The incubation period varies with the site and severity of the wound and may be two to six weeks or longer. ,Once the symptoms of rabies appear l in man or anhnal, death follows in t two to six days, In dogs the early symptoms are' change of disposition, restlessness, loss of appetite, tendenciv to hide. Soon the appetite becomes abnormal and the animal may try to eat glass, stones, etc, Later it may rush about In a staggering way, failing down from time to time. At this time snapping and biting tendencies are common, saliva pours out of the mouth, and the bark Is harsher, The final stage is one of paralysis, with the lower jaw and hind limbs first affected. Though the ani- mal may by this time be unable to stand, it can often still bite, Death occurs after a few days' illness. Certain variations may occur in the illness, and the paralytic symptoms may be more prominent, with little or none of the earlier 'furious" be• havioun t. 1.: • 1. 1 ,t J� .l '.-+'1 J \J 1.J1 11. %�l.I \._ { 1 The Dog Tax and Live Stock Pro- tection Act provides for by-laws to be passed by local municipalities for the licensing of dogs and the control of any running at large. No doubt, your Council already has such legislation. Dog owners might be reminded b;; Councils when buying tags that rabies vaccination. is advisable for their pets, cspeclally if the dogs are allowed to run on a farm or are used for hunt- Iing, The new animal vaccine for rab-• les Is safe and may be secured at nr)m- Inal cost from a practicing veterinar- 1an, Not only dogs, but cats, foxes, wol- ves and other warm-blooded animals may carry rabies. Livestock may be- come infected by attacks from rabid 'animals, There are special people in your arca who can help when rabies threat- ens, For example, in the ease of ill- ness in pets and livestock, a veterinur- lan can advise the owner, in the cast of _ wildlife n conservation officer of the .Ontario Department of Lands and Forests Is ready to assist, where stray dogs or cats show strange behaviour, the pollce should be' notified. The final authority, however, with i regard to rabies in animals, Is the Health of Animals Division of the Can- ' ada Department of Agriculture. It was this Division that ordered com- pulsory vaccination for all dogs in Northern Alberta when rabies had seriously increased there several year; ago• The vaccinations were performed free of charge by their officers, Oth- er measures, such as reduction of wild- life carriers—coyotes, foxes, etc., were organized In co-operation with pro- vincial and municipal authorities, :and a splendid job was done. The, Health of Anbnais office for this county it situated in the Post Office building, Seaforth, telephone 372. Notify them of all cases of animal rabies. Should a human be bitten by a rab- id, or suspect rabid animal, wash the wound promptly with soap and water and place the patient under the care of a physician. Notify the Medical Of- ficer of Health. Do not shoot or de- stroy the dog or animal which attack- ed. The animal, however, should b' confined In a safe place under veterin- ary supervision for at least 14 days. The premature killing of the animal might prevent accurate diagnosis of rabies, Since rabies vaccination of humans Is still a serious procedure and not without complications, physi- cians do not wish to proceed with it unless the danger is real. School Boards might instruct pupils to keep dogs at home, and parents should warn children to beware of stray, friendly and vicious animals.

Four -Cornered Eggs in Plastic Imagine buying your fresh eggs in rectangular shells — or, actually without shells — eggs which, in all probability, will cost less, and will keep fresh longer. Such are the so-called "naked eggs," now being sold in 12 - compartment plastic packets and tested for consumer reac- tion in several selected retail outlets in Ithaca, N.Y. Even though such plastic containers sold at a five -cent premium over other types of cartons, they accounted for as high as 47 per cent of egg sales. The same type of test was BABY PORTRAIT — A picture of innocence, two male lion cubs »lax in their cage, Only a month old now, they'll undoubtedly bell couple of tough customers when they grow up, PROFESSIONAL PORTRAIT — Maureen Connolly, sweetheart of the courts until her retirement from amateur tennis, poses for a "professional" portrait. "Little Mo" will tour the nation, giving advice at high school tennis clinics, in her role as manufacturer's representative. repeated in Maine, with slight- ly over half the eggs sold in plastic cartons at the five -cent premium, clear proof that many persons like to see just what they are buying, and are will- ing to pay extra for the privi- lege of doing so. The 12 compartments in the packet, each holding an egg, or two, measure two by three inches, and are about three- quarters of an inch deep. A machine breaks open the eggs and drops them into the indi- vidual compartments, which are then scaled by a machine with strong film. No hands touch the eggs at any time. The new shell -less eggs pro- vide many advantages beyond settling the "egg -old" question of which are best—the brown - shelled or the white - shelled variety. The plastic "shells" are perfectly transparent and color- less. The 12 - egg packet occupies about half the refrigerator space of the conventional divided cardboard carton which 11 is de- signed to replace. Egg breakages are cut to "zero," since they've already been broken. The new package also offers a real opportunity for increased sales of pee -wee eggs, for two of these may be placed in each ! compartment, thus making a "double -yolked" egg available to consumers at about the large. egg price. Normally, pee-wees are more difficult to sell for hone use than medium or large eggs. Although the -naked eggs" can be kept without refrigera- tion, they will remain fresh longer if refrigerated, accord- ing to Prof. L. B. Darrah, of Cornell University, who devel- oped the idea. There's also the added con- venience of not having to dis• pose of egg shell s, and the housewife's work is streamlined still further by her ability to boil or poach the egg right in the sealed plastic containers, After cooking, the top film is removed, and the eggs may he eaten right from the container, thus saving dishes. When the eggs are separated for cakes. icings, or souffles, the whites may be drained oft merely by cutting a hole in the top of the compartment. The eggs must be removed from the container, however, for frying or scrambling, or when they are used for other cooking pur- poses. This new egg package is just one of the newest developments in rigid plastic containers, use of which, it is predicted, will increase from five to 10 -fold in the next five years. Y?.- HRONICLES �i1N6ERFARM .everndoltne D Clarke I wondered when we, in this corner of the globe, would start hearing about storms on the sur- face of the sun, Quite a while ago I read in an English maga- zine that our little planet was likely to experience a series of atmospheric disturbances be- • cause of these solar storms. Well, judging by last week's weather the series seem to have started all right — and we don't care how soon they quit. Actu- ally, the weather is fine just now. I have just come in after roaming around and the air was lovely, crisp and cold, and birds were singing as if they were Modern Etiquette... By Robert Lee Q. is it all right for a man to remove his glove to shake hank when being introduced. A. Yes, If he can do so quickly and without making it too ob- vious. He need not, however, de- lay the introduction and it is in good form for him to shake hands with his glove on — nor does he have to apologize for it, Q. It one falls to hear a name in an Introduction, Is it all right to ask the one who is making the Introduction to repeat It? A, You should address your question to the person being in- troduced to you, as, "I'm sorry, but I did not hear your name clearly," Q. Is It always obligatory to ISSUE 11 — 195$ make a call on a good friend who has been bereaved? A, Yes. A brief note of sym- pathy is sufficient before the funeral, and a call of condolence should be made soon after the funeral. Q. Is it all right to ask, "Who is this," or, "What number Is this," when making a telephose call and someone answers whose voice you do not recognize? A. This is too often done, and it is extremely ill-bred. The correct thing always is to ask for the person with whom one wishes to speak. Q. If one is attenling church services that are not familiar, should one copy the movements of the members of the congrega- tion, or just remain stationary? A. Do what the others do, and you will show more courtesy and will be less conspicuous. Q. When is the spoon for the after-dinner coffee placed on the table? A, This spoon is brought in with the coffee when it is served, Q. If a host is carving the meat at the table, should he cut enough for everyone before serving anyone? A. Yes, confident the storms were over and good weather on the way. Here's hoping the birds are right, Nobody wants a repetition of last Friday's freezing ram. Of course I had to go down town that day — to a funeral, no less, For that little trip I called a taxi and got a ride 'home with a. neighbour. I wouldn't let our neighbour drive me up the lane because I was afraid he might slide into the ditch, So I got out of the car at the ,road, and there I was, absolutely scared to take a step, Farther up there was crunchy snow either side of the lane — if I could only get to it, But that was a big 'if'. And then I saw Partner coming down the lane to meet me, Was I ever glad, I might have been on the ice yet if he hadn't ap- peared on the scene. Before the ice storm there was quite a bit ,of activity around here what with visitors, insur- ance agents and real estate men coming along trying out their persuasive powers with Partner. And while the weather was good our barnyard population was considerably reduced, John- ny rrived one day and took his four heifers back home. The next day we sent a veal calf to market, and then we got an- other one to take its place. The hens were laying particularly well but because of the icy. roads the egg man did not col- lect the eggs, Can't say that I blame him — after all who would want to take a chance on sliding off the road with a truck -load of eggs? And then, as if the ice -storm wasn't enough to deal with our cats and dogs got into trouble — just to re- lieve the monotony, I suppose. It was this way: Black Joe picked a fight with a stray feline up in the barn and between them they upset u small open can of crank- case oil all over themselves — oil that Partner uses to paint the hen roosts. And then Joe came to the house for sympathy and first aid! Now I ask you — what could a person do for a poor little pussycat plastered with crankcase oil? It couldn't be washed off. Coal oil might have helped but what would the coal oil have done to the poor cat's skin? The best I could do was to rub poor Joe with an old towel, And then I had to put him outside because we couldn't stand the smell of him around. Nor could I hove him leaving an oil patch behind him where - ever he sat. Finally for the next few days Joe did what a cat al- ways does—licked himself clean, In doing so he also made himself sick so that he couldn't eat, Now, thank goodness, the oil has disap- peared — but so has a lot 01 Joe's fur, The next excitement was caus- ed by Rusty who ran into the house bringing with him an odour of skunk. Fortunately it wasn't very strong so that with fresh air, and by rolling around in the snow, Rusty got rid of the smell. While all this activity was going on with our various ani- mals we had a visitor from Tor- onto for a couple of days — a visitor who lives in a well-ap- pointed apartment where cats and dogs are unknown. We man- aged to protect her from contam- ination, While she was with us our television got a rest — ex- cept from Press conference and the late newscast which sbe seemed to enjoy. As for our- selves we are still 'exploring the television field, finding much that is good and some that is bad,. Like the little girl with the curl -- "When it's good, it's very very good, but when it's bad it's horrid", And I do mean 'horrid'. We thought the "Automaton" panel discussion with Dr, Fromm was splendid. There was cer- tainly 'plenty for the mind' in that discussion, "Country Cal- endar" , , we think it could do with a little less talk `and a little more action. "Omnibus" is wonderful but some of the half-hour dramas are positively inane, However, television has a terrific audience so there has to be variety — always remem- bering that one man's meat is another man's poison, and that it is entirely up to ourselves whether or not we watch any particular program. Stop Press News! Partner just looked in to tell me that spring ' on the way , , . he just saw a crow fly over! Now who are we to trust—the crows who think that spring is in the air or ex- perts who tell 'us that storms on the sun are going to have e bad ' ifluence on the earth's ,weather pattern for the next few months? It may be wishful thinking but I'll put my faith in the old black crow. After all he has quite a bit of backing because down town someone was telling me a robin was seen last week. Maybe the robin and the crow had a little conference and decided that we mortals needed a little cheering up about the weather, SLOW—DOWN Harrison met Johnson atter several years, "And is your wife as lovely as ever?" he asked him, "Oh, . yes," replied Johnson, "but now it lakes halt an hou>t longer." - MEM Mix and sift into bowl, 13' c. once -sifted pastry flour (or 1h c. once -sifted all-purpose flour), 3 tsps.

Soy 11 Wallington Mts,Toronto OM fol, EM 5.1411 Motorists Dream Coming True Parking Lots Look for Customers! - By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent The parking Industry has fin- ally caught up with soaring car population In many parts of the country. In fact, .in some cities there are now more parking places on • parking lots than there are parkers, "Lot full" signs have almost all been burned, The resulting competition to pluck the. potential parker from the street is something wonder- Iul for motorists to experience. Baby-sitting service for wom- an who don't want to drag their kids around to the stores was started by a lot owner in Sioux , City, Ia, This is spreading to ether cities, Not willing to take on full responsibility for guarding a bunch of kids, a parking lot in Wheeling, W. Va., is making strollers available to its cus- tomers, To beat his competition a Louisville, Ky,;, lot manager be- en passing out balloons for the ds. A lot down the street then began giving away candy AND balloons. In another part • of Louisville a parking garage announced that it would loan umbrellas tree to its customers when it rained. Several lots around the ,country serve free hot coffee to customers while they wait for their cars on chilly days. In -Portland, Ore,, a Jot has begun offering customers spe- dal repair and service facilities, beyond washing and greasing. Thia idea is spreading, And down In Washington a lot operates a ear radio clinic where tubes can belated and other repairs made at special prices. In a large •New Jersey city a parldng garage owner is study- ing a plan to add a special heli- copter service to get his cus- tomers to nearby airports or other points. This competitive pinch, how- ever, has failed to launch any rate cutting wars. Parking your ear Is like checking your hat. H doesn't take long to match the rile price in fees. In Washington, for example, rata in the downtown area mange from 45 cents for the first half-hour to 30 cents for the !fret hour; and reduced rates for • subsequent hours. Daily rates range from 80 cents to $1,50, That's peanuts compared to New York City, where rates run from 75 cents to $1 for the first hour, $2 to $2,75 for all -day parking, and about $3.50 for 24 hours, In some towns there have been small rate reductions. These developments are re- ported by Leonard. B, Doggett, Jr„ president of the National Parking Association and owner of a string of D.C. lots, "In spite of increasing compe- tition for business," Doggett re- ports, "an investment of more than $350 million in new ,off- street parking facilities is plan- ned by private enterprise this year," Since 1946 the investment in private parking facilities has risen from $1 billion to more than $4 billion, he claims, Washington has, pioneered two plans which are being copied around the country rapidly One is strictly a good -will gesture of giving free parking on Sunday. to churchgoers. All a parker has to do is show the church program after the service to avoid the fee. Close to 10,000 persons there use this each Sunday. The other idea is a coopera- tive plan whereby downtown merchants pay part of the park- ing fee of their customers, de- pending on the size of pur- chases, Theatres, restaurants and doc- tor'sand lawyer's are getting in on this plan. It has helped to revive business in downtown Washington. To eliminate the familiar whine of tires as hot -rod park- ing attendants race cars up and down ramps Doggett is success- fully pushing the establishment of training schools for lot em- ployes. In an attempt to cut costs the trend in new garages is to con- struction of park • it - yourself types., This system uses a little more space but requires fewer employes. In San Francisco a new nine - story park -it -yourself garage use 23 employes, compared to 150 attendants needed to park the customers. It can receive and discharge 600 cars in 30. minutes.

'Don't Fence me in' Is Slogan Here They xeep a newspaper pic- ture at Kruger National Park, South Africa, of a large, black - maned African lion dozing dreamily on a bouncy, new in- ner spring mattress, It is just an advertising stunt for a local mattress compasy, of course, and lions in the Kruger Nation- al Park do not ordinarily enjoy such luxury. Nevertheless, they do come pretty close to a Utopian sort of existence which might well fig- ure in the dreams of other wild animals in less -well -sprung sur- roundings, There are no fences there for the lion, elephant, or giraffe. There are no cages, no white hunters with barking rifles, no native poachers with silent, poi- sened arrows, Thousands of Af- rican wild animals live by the simple law of the wild, And the rangers' only task is to pro- tect them. Some people call this the "zoo without bars," But it is not even that. It is simply a 200 -mile -long slice of Africa up to 60 miles wide decreed untouchable in an industrializing nation for the preservation of rapidly dimin- ishing wildlife, It is a normpl zoo in reverse, for here the visitor is "caged" — tourists may travel the simple dirt tracks by closed cars, but must remain in them at all times, There are camps for night stops, but even here a curious elephant or lion has, and fre- quently takes, the right of way to amble through their midst. There is something of a gen- tleman's agreement provided you leave the animals alone and stay in your car they are harm- less, Rarely do they associate automobile smells with human beings. And sometimes they lend a hand. There was the agitated motorist, for example, whose car stalled 'and refused to start Immediately in the path of half True happiness springs from Moderation the J-Iouse —COET/IE (1749.1832) f Seagram Merl who thi)I,1 of tomorrow practice moderation today ' 4»)lrll!,, -471"---,,,e"--"TP--- l'•'t1try,""-.-✓"—,: r•,«n, ,Y1::,a.al „• Illttt.77-11di 7i a dozen notoriously bad-temper- ed African elephants. The agitation was unnecessary. The leading elephant gave the fender a nudge, and another, and another. As the car jerked for- ward the quick -thinking motor- ist slipped his car into gear, the elephant gave him another push, and off he went. Then, too, there are the rule - breaking tourists who leave their cars to snap lions 50 yards away, to find later when their films are developed that they include shots of another lion perhaps 12 feet from them, so well camouflaged that they never saw it when the photograph was taken. From the animals' point of view, it is all so natural here.. The animals have no artificial fears. They have the sun and they find their food and drink as they always have. As one of the rangers said: "It's just as it should be," When you park your car in a glade and listen to the noises of the bush •— a couple of hun- dred red buck champing softly, the footfalls of a herd of zebra, the treetops gossip of a pair of monkeys, the rustle as a haughty buffalo arches his neck the bet- ter to look you over -- the free- dom and peace of it all sweep over you. So unafraid are many of the animals that while hippos and crocodiles remain near water, according to the rangers, lions will often sit on the road edge watching the cars go by. And of our own experience we know the graceful impala buck put out "school patrols" to make sure everyone gets across the "street" safely. Lions are the most sought- after animals, and it is said that some of the younger visitors go to sleep at night counting lions instead of sheep. By all accounts, the lions are getting so used to the tourists that the one on the mattress in that newspaper pho- tograph may have been going to sleep counting cars, Just How Good Is Your Spelling How's your spelling? It's prob- ably a little better than it used to be, for some education ex- perts are saying that the stand- ard of spelling is slowly but surely rising, although men are still better spellers than women, You're a very good speller if you can correctly spell super- sede, paraffin, liquefy, dipth- theria, kimono, rarely, tranquil- lity and naphtha, say the ex- , perts. Here's an apparently simple sentence of nearly all one -syl- lable words which has often beaten good spellers when dic- tated to them: Hugh, will you see whether it is a wether or a ewe that the weather has driven under a yew of the deepest hue? Nobody has ever beaten the record of Professor David Jones, a schoolteacher of Missouri, U,S,A„ who became the world's champion speller, For Unity - three years he issued an annual challenge to all comers to spell against him.

The following letter was addressed to Mr. Earl Anderson. Dear Mr. Anderson --I was very much pleased to receive your invitation to attend "Morris Old Boys' Reunion" to be held August 4, 5 and Oth, I was born on a farm about 13/4 miles from the Village of Belgrave, on May 9111, 1873. My parents had been living on a rented farm, I think it was owned by a man named Brandon but I am not certain as to the .name of the owner. I have only a faint recollection of the situation of the farm in which I was born although I did make a short visit there in the summer of 1892, I recall a number of names of neighbours about whom I had head ' my mother make mention. Some of thein come to my mind, Proeters, Wil- kinsons, Armstrongs, Bryans, " Nichol- sons, Wrays, Hoppers, and n family named Harris who lived at a village named Sunshine, No doubt there were others. I also recall that I often heard my mother mention the Ander- sons, V On the list of officers I note one named H. C, Johnston, I had an aunt I named Martha Grigg who married a t ratan named David Johnston, but of course I do not know if H. C, is any of that family, I am not 'certain if 5 can manage.to attend the Reunion but I certainly would like to visit the plane of my birth once more and meet as maby as possible of the early settlers, and others who have since my day there made their homes in and around Morris Township, Kindest regards and best wishes for the success of the undertaking. Yours sincerely, ALBERT GRIGG.
