But what can you do with small rooms and rooms with high ceilings? Here are some tips on home decorating which might help solve these and other problems,, If a small room is your prob- lem, keep in mind that walls and woodwork painted the same color will make a room look larger. A light tint is better than a dark tint for the small room. " • • Wall-to-wall floor covering will help create a feeling of spaciousness. * • • For the small bathroom, use the same color for tile, walls and fixtures to give the room that "bigger" look, ••• If you are bothered by irregu- uar and unattractive lines in a room, paint the ceilings, walls and woodwork the same color. The result will be a camou- flage of the bothersome lines. • • • High ceilings may be low- ered by painting them a deep color and possibly carrying the ceiling color down onto the wall for a foot or two. Light tints, especially blue imitating the sky, will make a low ceil- ing appear higher. • * • if you want to change your .bedroom scheme, choose a quiet color. Soft blue -grey and yel- low are restful colors for such rooms, But don't be monoto. nous — add touches of stronger color. Artificial lights will soft- en colors at night. * • • Is your furniture light in color? If so, remember that It will not show up to the best of its ability against a light background. Choose a darker tone to bring out the best in your furniture. • • • 'Co make large, barn -like rooms more inviting, use a rich, darker hue on the walls. FINAL SCENE ? — Actress Grace. Kelly is the focus of many movie cameras as she makes what may be her final appearance on Hollywood film, Occasion was the recent Oscar awards cere- monies. When a Sailboat Hit An Omnibus To me there was always an infinite fascination in seeing these great Northern tracts of woodland awakening from their long winter sleep. The sweet- ness of the dawn, the delicious smell of growing things, the fresh young life springing up under one's feet, all these ap- pealed to every fibre in my be- ing. Nature always restores the balance of things. In Russia, as in Canada, after the rigours of the winter, once the snow has disappeared, flowers carpet the ground with a rapidity of growth unknown in more tem- perate climates. These Finland woods were plant with masses of small, white, waxy flowers. It was, I think, one of the smallqr cran- berries, There was an orange - flowering nettle, too, the leaves of which changed from green to vivid purple as they climbed the stalk, making gorgeous patches of colour, and great drifts of blue hepaticas on the higher ground. To appreciate Nature properly, she must be seen at unaccustomed times, as she bestirs herself after, her night's rest whilst the sky brightens, . . . We had an ice -boat on the Gulf of Finland as well. It is only in early spring, and very seldom then, that this amuse- ment can be indulged in. The necessary conditions are (1) a heavy thaw to melt all the snow from the surface of the ice, fol- lowed by a sharp frost; (2) a strong breeze, Nature is not of- ten obliging enough to arrange matters in this sequence. We had some good sailing, though, and could get • forty miles an hour out of our craft with a de- cent breeze, Our boat was of the Dutch, not the Canadian type, Ice -sailing was- bitterly cold work, and the navigation of the Gulf of Finland required great caution, for in early spring great icracks appeared in the ice, On one occasion, in avoid- ing a large crack, we ran into the omnibus plying on runners between Kronstadt and the mainland , , . , It may be worth while recording this, as it is but seldom that a boat collides with an omnibus, — From "The Vanished Pomps of Yesterday," by Lord Frederick Hamilton, • HROILICLFS �G1NGERFARM 4 ci.►Qsutr,7tttte D Cleoka It happened one morning re- cently. To be exact it was March 21. The dawn was just break- ing when I jumped out of my bed and ran to the window. Partner said—"Now what's the matter?" "It's a robin ... see . . . on the poplar tree—a big fat cock robin, looking in at our win- dow'.' "Huh," Par t n e r -scoffed, "probably a starling." "It isn't a starling — it's a robin. Come and see for your- self," So Partner came to the window and was finally con- vinced. The robin, meanwhile. perched motionless on the tree, surveying the world for signs of spring. Evidently he was not too impressed as not a sound came from him, not even a mat- ing call. The robin was a wise bird for since that morning we have had bitter cold winds and some snow. Not at all the kind of weather for courting — at least, not in the bird world, For the human species any, time is courting itme because we have the protection of warm homes, theatres, dance halls, automo- biles, indoor -skating rinks and many other comfortable oppor- tunities for companionship. The notion that "in the spring a young man's fancy , , ." is out- moded. It is open season all the year round for those whose inclinations "lightly turn to thoughts of love", But the robin sticks to the laws of nature, And you can't fool the robin. Spring is spring. And spring- time is mating time. No self- respecting robin would. go call- ing on his lady -friend until winter had had its final fling. I remember part of a poem from childhood days which began— "When north winds blow, then we shall have snow And what will the robins do then, poor things?" I forget the rest but I am sure that what the robins were likely to do didn't include courting. But it won't be long, my friends, Spring will soon be here. The robins know or they wouldn't be around at all. So maybe we had better hurry up that house- cleaning. Remember last sum. rarer . , , the heat and humid- ify? Let's enjoy the coolish weather while we can.' In the meantime 1 have a con- fession to make --and I feel like a traitor in so doing, A month ago we traded in our nice little English car on _n later, model— Canadian make. In doing so I yielded to family pressure and economic necessity. I liked my little car. It did all I wanted it to do as I am not a city driver, But it was subject to all kinds of derisive remarks from other members of the fam- ily. "Puddle -jumper" the young folk called it, Well, why did 1 trade it in if I liked it, since I was the one who was driv. ing it? For the simple reason that we live in a district where there isn't an agent for English cars, which makes it difficult to get parts or get a repair job done. The one man who was willing to service my car sold his garage so that left me out on a limb. If we had a me. chanic at home that would be a different matter. But Partner doesn't even drive a car, left alone repair it, He can handle the tractor, but, because of arthritis in his hand and feet— and in the interests of safety— he has always thought it better to leave the car alone—except that he is a most proficient side -seat driver! The car we have now is a semi-automatic transmission and it travels the road with the greatest of east. It . also has a sticker on the windshield which indicates it has passed its road test. Which means that I went after the po- lice officer—he didn't come af- ter me, I wasn't at all anxious to be pulled up on the highway and subjected to an unexpected road test so I got ahead of the game and got my car checked right outside the local police headquarters. After all, if there is anything wrong with the car one is driving it is better to know it. I feel much happier now with that sticker on the windshield, Now if only some kind of sticker could be attach- ed to drivers what a help it would be to the . travelling public. Well, from the look of this house I had better start on a clearing up job. I notice there is a forgotten tractor, coloured blocks in out of the way cor. ners, a little cap in the living - room and various other signs that indicate our grandson was around here yesterday. I don't know how other folk manage so well but Monday is never wash -day around here. It is a day of recdvery, and for getting this column done, We love to have visitors, family or other- wise—but after the pleasure is past we find a little rest and relaxation very welcome. After all there is no law that decrees that Monday shall, be wash -day, so, when the usual work is done I make the rounds with the wa- tering -can. The geraniums are growing fast now and need more water. And my cactus, that was in full bloom last Christmas, will be blooming again for Easter. Looks like anything can happen around here—and often does. The other day Partner left the gate open to the backyard, It was an open invitation to the heifers. And they took it, Partner and I got plenty of exercise that morning, Was I glad I wasn't the guilty party! Andy High was one of the smallest infielders ever to play major-league ball, At one time he owned an electrical appliance shop in St. Louis, moving Charlie Grimm to observe that "Andy is the only electrician I know who has to use a ladder to put in a floor plug." June 27 t?i o ••=0,4 from Liverpool to Quebec and Montreal It's Refrigerated Clothing Now One trouble 'about spring be- ing just around the corner ja that it reminds us. a semitropi- cal summer is not far off either. True, we now have. air condi- tioning in homes, offices, stores. motor cars and many even have it in taxicabs If New .York's ex- periment with a fleet of 50 air- conditioned cabs proves suc- cessful, But the pedestrian. is still left out in the heat, ' Nevertheless, air-conditioned clothing now seems on the way. A New York engineer who is president of several successful companies — no crackpot he — has designed and patented a jacket and helmet with built-in refrigeration, The inventor, Vir- gil Stark, tried these out suc- cessfully on his son one day last summer in Washington when the temperature was 90 But this project has encountered on• snag — fashion ... which now emphasizes the form -fitting gar- ment. For refrigerated clothes must have compartment to hold dry ice, In Mr, Stark's jacket they are in the shoulder pads. Yet shoulder pads are definitely put. But this conflict may yet be resolved since hats are getting larger in the crown. And the hat industry, which falls upon lean days in the summer, might welcome the refrigerated cha- peau. If so, air-conditioned Irv- ing would be complete. — Washington Post. Wardrobe Wonder! Graceful sundress in long - torso effect — city -going faahlose when you button on the clever collarette!

Top flight hair fashion, artists and . stylists in ..the famous sal: elf are now busy planning their next season's coiffures, Why do they undertake this highly ex- pensive business? A stylist can create a hair fashion that will earn hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yet he gets little or no- thing out of it, except perhaps some grudging admiration, if he can prove that he invented the style, To whom, then, does the for- tune go? It goes to thousands if salon owners .who cater for the fashion world. Thele is no n°pyright to a hair style,- Once it has been introduced and it Mtches on, any competent hair- dresser in Macclesfield or Min- neapolis or Montreal can copy H and sell it to women as his awn work. An unknown London hair- dresser produced a fashion about the time of the first world war that not only earned hairdress- ers millions of dollars, but also made permanent waving a pay- ing proposition and created the modern women's hairdressing business. This was the "Bob," the first modern short - hair style. And the man who created It was almost certainly a men's kairdresser. The "Shingle," which followed Itt, made nearly as much, No one knows for certain who in- vented that, except it must again have been the work of a men's hairdresser, because they are all expert cutters of hair. Few ladies' hairdressers can compete with them in this branch. A more recent style — it swept the world — was the "Page Boy." Credit for that simple fashion Lug go to the film studio hair- dresser who dressed Greta Gar - lois blonde locks. Garbo the Great, incidentally, was a hair, dresser before setting out on her fabulous film career, But Mt a women's hairdresser. SJ1e worked in a men's saloon, shav- ing bristly male chins and cut- ting hair! Garbo's long - lived contribu- tion, the "Page Boy," however, end of making a fortune for dressers, nearly ruined them, F them millions of dollars Britain and the United States. This was because the style t suld be fixed easily by a wom- tis herself, without the aid of • professional hairdresser. It only too easy — the hair not even need to be cut, brushed smoothly over the d and the ends lightly curled wards. Hairdressers have never for- s Garbo for publicizing this illehion with such unwitting but t:: dly effect. The fact that she worked in the business mere - added a load of salt to the wound! In days gone by hair stylists were people of great importance SALLY'S SALLIES *You "know, dear, this business of looking beautiful Is really an art." JUe:i( LINE TRUNK LINE — Edward Heintz, never quit working on railroad cars when he retired. He simply' transferred his affections from the Railroad, where he was a car carpenter, to a brand-new attic railroad. Now 68, he's been working four or five hours a day on his hobby since he retired. He has built 150 cars—gondolas, coaches and cabooses—mostly out of oil cans from gas station rubbish bins and scrap lumber. He has two miles of track, has built switches and even a three-level elevator. His only purchase was a pair of locomotives. "It makes me for- get a lot of the world's troubles," says Heintz.. ' In society and they amassed con- siderable wealth. In Napoleon's time they had carriages and liv- eried servants. Frederic, hair- dresser to Napoleon's Josephine, had a special position and priv- ileges at court which would nev- er be accorded to the royal hair- dresser in England, Hair fashions In those times were the key to dress and mil- linery styles. The dress design- er was compelled to follow the work and ideas of the hair stylist, whose work, outshone his own, Styles were highly+ornate and complex. As many as six hair- dressers would work on one coiffure. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, hair was of- ten dressed up to the height of three feet. Women who wore these creations had to sit on the floors of their carriages, and those who slept in their coif- Tures had to have special wood- en rests made for their shoul- ders and neck. Because flour was used a good deal in the dressings to keep them stiff and in shape, one not- able lady always went to sleep with a mousetrap concealed in her hair to prevent mice from eating her coiffure! These fantastic hair styles, which stylists could repeat to- day if they were ever required, sometimes cost their wearers well over $500 a time, plus the high cost of maintenance. One of the most remarkable styles in the whole history of hair fashion was that produced during the French Revplution; It was called a la Victim`; au Sacrifice. The hair was drawn up well from the nape of the neck, forward and over the crown, as it was arranged for the scaffold, the only difference being that it fell on the fore- head in a bunch of curls, Pale face make-up was used DRAIN IS FILM STAR—The functionssof the human brain were noted), filmed for the first time at a demonstration In Vienna University.

' This coiffure was worn by young aristocratic ladies to show their contempt for the guillotine, The new styling among mon will undoubtedly lead to the use of 'the new hair make-up techniques. This will be due to the lead given by certain middle- aged TV stars and stage stars who never seem to go grey and mostly have curly or wavy hair. This ii induced by the old de- vice of blow waving and discreet use of permanent waving. The biggest men's hair stylist of the century was the hair- dresser, now dead, of the Wal- dorf Hotel. He was the famous Browne who invented the clip- ped moustache and the various military haircuts which have lasted for so many years. He made a fortune, lost it in pros- pecting for gold in South Af- rica, and then returned to Lon- don to take up his old job until he died a few years ago. Crocodiles, Savages Guard Safety Two hundred men live in ex- ile in the land of Mtumbu, the sacred crocodile, and more than half, of them are wanted for murder. The land lies mid- way between Angola and South-West Africa, in the arid region of Ovamboland. Neither the murderers, nor any of the other fugitives who are wanted. by the police for every crime from blackmail to forgery, ever return to civili- zation again. In the past thirty years only one man, John Hepburn,, has returned from this wilderness over which no government rules, Though, of course, no criminal himself, Hepburn was able to study the life of the ex- iles. The Ovahimba aboriginals who inhabit the area owe alle- giance to no country except their own. The Portuguese, who rule Angola, and the South-West African admiini- stration have stated that they want nothing to do with this piece of infertile, barbarous land fringing on the muddy, dangerous Kunene River, The tribe of Ovahimba; it was stated by Hepburn, are about 10,000 strong, but being cursed With too many girl babies, more than 6,000 of the tribe are women and girls. At infrequent intervals the warriors made forays into An- gola and the rest of Ovambo- land to steal male children aged from a year to five years. These children are reared as members of the tribe, and are brought in to swell the dimin- ishing number of males. Every quarter, at at the full moon, two girls, who must be under fifteen years, are sacri- ficed to Mtumbu, the %sacred crocodile, in order to ensure a -little rainfall and a crop of boy babies. Pambegele is the recognized chief of the tribe, and to him the white outlaws go when they arrive in the territory ruled over by the crocodile. Presents are given, and the men are' welcomed regardless of what they might have done in the past. The great scarcity of males forces the dying tribe to adopt any male who arrives, There is only one condition attached to entry into the area. That is that the wanted men will take from four to six wives from girls among the tribe and father children. The men have a free choice, but adultery is punishable by death—death at the jaws of the crocodiles which infest the Ku- nene River. On the dav when a sacrifice is td be made, the girl victims ai'e led to the centre of the stockade ' close to the river, where they are prepared with a pagan ceremony which in- cludes the anointing of the body with oil. The crocodiles know when victims are to be brought to them. They sense it in the beat- ing of the tom-toms and the chanting on the river -bank. Slowly the first one comes from the river and moves to- wards the first girl. As the cro- codile nen-s the girl, the tribe fall on 1 tik r faces, and a low moan esc.,des them. For some years raids were carried out on the area by Portuguese and South-West Af- rican police, but with no suc- cess. A system of espionage warns the tribe days before- hand of the approach of police, with a result that everyone is hidden in the rocky mountains close by when the policemen arrive. In 1931 three notorious mur- derers, wanted for at least ten murders each, managed to find sanctuary in the land of the crocodiles, A large police force was as- sembled and sent to fetch the men and any other wanted criminals hiding among the aboringals. When the police, arrived there wasn't a trace of the tribe, but more determined offi- cers led an expedition into the mountains to seek out the tribe and the murderers. Of some forty well -armed men who ventured into the mountains, Only Four Came Out Alive, In the night, poison- ed arows rained down on then), A . few years ago two men held up a bank and shot dead a bystander, a teller, and the manager. They escaped and disappeared, Later a police pa- trol plane saw a small car heading through the desert near the Kunene River. A police desert truck was despatched in pursuit. The small car was found abandoned on the banks of the Kunene, but of the men there was no trace. A few months later a magis- trate received a taunting note: "Come and get us if you want us," It was signed "The Bank Robbers." —They are stilt at large somewhere in that vast- ness, Prospectors after gold and diamonds have gone into this land never to return.

President The 1955 financial results of the Canadian Pacific Railway thOw a six percent increase in gross railway earnings but rep - latent a return on net railway ;investment of only 2.92 per sent, "a rate very much below an adequate return," says' N. R. Crump, president, in the 75th annual report of the Company. While Canada's gross national product increased by 10 per sent to a new high level, the freight service performed by the C.P.R., measured in ton guiles showed an increase of 9 per cent, but did not attain the level of any of the years 1951 to 1953 inclusive. In pointing out that the ratio at net to gross earnings im- proved from 6.4 per cent to 8.3 per cent, Mr. Crump said: "Gratifying as this improve- ment was, the results for the year represented a return on net railway investment of only 3.92 per cent - a rate very much below an adequate re- turn for your railway enter- prise." The . Company's income ac- eount1hows=that gross earnings et • $448,598,491 were obtained from railway operations, an in- crease of $26 million, or 6 per cent, compared with $422,642,- 423 in 1954. Working expenses rose from $395,609,497 in 1954 to $411,271,773 leaving a net from railway operations of $37,- 326,718 as compared to $27,032,- 926 in 1954. Other income from sources Other than railway operation, Mr. Crump reported, amounted to $22.9 million, an increase of $5.1 million, while fixed charges totalled $16.2 million, leaving the Company's net in- come at $44 million. Referring to modernization of railway sereiees, Mr. C.un1p-re- • p 97 new diesel units were acquired during 1955, comprising road switchers for freight and passenger service and yard switchers for use at terminals. The President of the Cana- dian Pacific said the new scenic - dome stainless steel stream- liner, . "The;, Canadian," which entered 'trsii'scontinental service in the ipriciieof 1955, introduced to this country the finest and most modern equipment in rail passenger service, and reduced by as much as sixteen hours the time formerly required to tra- vel across Canada. Mr. Crump said the passenger traffic volume expressed in revenue passenger miles in- creased by four per cent. There was a decrease during the first five months, but an impressive SWEET HATS -- These dainty confections for spring are just that. Modeled by Louisa vbn Kories, the chapeaux are fash- ioned of candy. They were worn during a spring showing et a candy store. More conven- tional garments were brought In to be worn with the sweet creations, recovery followed the introduc- tion of new equipment and im- proved schedules in transcon- tinental services. The improve- ment was not confined to the summer season but extended throughout the balance of the year, The average increase over the last seven months was more than eight per cent. Studies continued during the past year, said Mr. Cramp, for the improvement in passenger train services. As a result, seven new "Dayliner" services were commenced, increasing to 2,000 route miles the distance over which these trains were in operation, and to 16 the num- ber of rail diesel cars in service. The rail diesel cars, said Mr. Crump, are very popular and very satisfy ctory economies have resulted from their use. Twelve additional units have been ordered for delivery in 1956. During 1955, 39 passenger trains were discontinued as be- ing no longer justified by the level of traffic, and a further twelve trains :vera•:operated at reduced fregilette ,;;;•A saving in operations7Zain.'agte of 865,- 000 train miler- per year was thus effected. Construction of 53 miles of branch lines, to service new mining and industrial areas, was completed during the year. These comprised a 40 -mile line between Struthers and Mani- touwadge in Ontario, a 9 -mile line between Mitford and Jumping Pound in Alberta, and a four -mile line running north form Cheviot in Saskatchewan. Work was under way on a three-mile extension of the line which was built between Have- lock and Nephton, Ontario, in 1114. - To improve safety and effi- ciency, 50 miles of automatic block signals were installed during 1955, bringing to 3,039 the total mileage so equipped, Mr. Crump said that a new development of major signifi- cance is now taking place with the adoption of integrated data processing across • t he system. To gain the benefits of automa- tion in mass' Hand1lhg of paper work, informaiign,-:;on many phases of the operation of the company will . be • recorded auto- matically at the source and transmitted to a central pro- cessing location in Montreal. By use of one of the most ad- vanced electronic data pro- cessing machine installations, said Mr. Crump, it will be poss- ible to supply information promptly to all levels of man- agement virtually without man- ual intervention. Freight traffic volume in- creased by 2,054 million rev- enue ton miles or nine per cent. The rise was fairly general, with notable increases occur- ring in lumber, timber and ply- wood, crude petroleum, petrol- eum products, iron and steel, automobiles, trucks and parts, building sand, gravel and crush- ed stone. Grain and grain prod- ucts were down four per cent and there was a marked de- crease also in agricultural im- plements and farm tractors. Express traffic was up slight- ly from 1954 and there were some increases in rates. Ex- penses increased less than rev- enues, and, as a result, the net earnings of the Express Com- pany, carried to railway earn- ings as compensation for the carriage of express traffic, were higher by seven per cent. Maintenance expenses were little changed as the amount of maintenance work undertaken was about the same tis for the previous year. Roadway maintenance includ- ed the laying of 418 miles of new and relay rail, the instal- lation of 1,970,000 tics and the application of ballast to 328 miles of track. These items of maintenance were less than the FAIR PHILATELY - Just shown in Saarbrucken, Germany, are these new 15 -franc postage stamps.

CRITICAL OIL - The impor- tance of the Middle East crisis to the Western nations' oil supply is shown by these charts, In 1945, the Middle East had 32 per cent of the world's reserves. By 1955, it had 60 per cent. Saudi Arabia alone had a 35-biWon-barrel reserve in 1955. During this decade, U.S. reserves dwindled from 34 per cent to 19 per cent. But Soviet Russia's reserves were more than halved, drop- • ping from 14 per cent in 1945 to 6 per cent in 1955. averages for years. Equipment maintenance, he said, included the general re- pair of 375 steam locomotives, periodic repair of 293 diesel- electric units, the heavy repair of 35,806 freight cars, and the general repair of 752 passenger cars. Transportation expenses, said Mr, Crump, notwithstanding the increase of nine per cent in freight traffic .volume, rose by only one per cent and the ratio of transportation expenses to gross earnings declined to 38.8 per cent from 40.9 in 1954, "Notable improvements," said Mr. Crump, "were effected In service and operating efficiency. Of the total transportation work done during the year, the proportion performed by diesel power was 45 per cent in freight service, 60 per cent in passenger service and 85 per cent in yard service." While the volume of total transportation service increased by 3.8 billion gross ton miles, train fuel expense decreased by almost $600,000. Freight train speed and gross ton miles per freight train hour reached new high levels, continuing the trend of the past five years. Construction of the enw pas- senger cargo liner "Empress of Britain," which will enter regu- lar North Atlantic service in the spring of 1956 as the flag- ship of the Canadian Pacific Steamships' fleet, has been completed. Construction of a second new liner, to be named "Empress of England," proceed- ed during the year. This vessel will join the North Atlantic fleet in the spring of 1957. In anticipation of the comple- tion of the "Empress of Bri- tain," the "Empress of Austra- lia" was withdrawn from serv= ice at the end of the year and sold in February, The new 5,554 -ton motorship "Princess of Vancouver" enter- ed the British Columbia Coast- al services in June. The new vessel has accommodation for 800 passengers and is designed to carry 28 railway freight cars or 115 automobiles and trucks, The Canadian Pacific Airlines had a net profit of $275,000. In the previous year there had been a net profit of969,000 which included $593,000 from the sale of aircraft. There was an increase of 45 per cent in revenues from domestic opera- tions, principally as a result of partcipation in the cprgo char- ter airlift which commenced in February, to supply and service the construction of northern radar installations. An important extension of C.P.A.L. international air routes was effected with the inaugura- tion in June of the Vancouver - Amsterdam Trans -Arctic service, This extension, which has brought the west coast of Can- ada within 19 hours' flying time of Europe, provides a direct connection with other interna- tional routes out of Vancouver. Another major development was the addition of the Toronto - Mexico City service in Novem- ber. This route, which connects eastern Canada with C.P.A.L.'s international service between Vancouver and South America, was obtained from Trans -Can- ada Air Lines in exchange for certain routes in Quebec which were distant from maintenance facilities at Vancouver. On order at the year end were eight DC -6B aircraft for delivery commencing in 1956, and three Bristol Britannia tur- bo prop aircraft for delivery in 1957. Ocean and coastal steamship operations resulted in a profit of $230,000 compared with a loss of $2 million in the pre- vious year.

Revenues from coastal opera- tions decreased, principally as a result of lower freight 'earn- ings, but expenses were reduced in greater proportion. Net earnings of hotels were virtually unchanged. Increased room rates were put into effect at some points in order to off- set payroll costs. Net earnings from communi- cation services increased by $700,000, Mr. Crump said. Fixed charges, at $16.2 milli- on were higher by $1.2 million. There w e r e net decreases in the charges on both equipment trust and collateral trust obli- gations, . Net income after fixed charg- es, at $44 million, was up $14.2 million, After provision for dividends on Preference Stock, earnings available for divid- ends on Ordinary Stock and for reinvestment amounted to $40,9 million. This was equal to $2.- 94 per share on 13,878,173 shares of Ordinary Stock outstanding at the end of the year, as com- pared with $1.94 on 13,812,014 shares at the end of 1954. The net addition to Land Sur- plus Account amounted to $9.4 million after income taxes of $4,0 million, Gross receipts from petroleum rents, royalties and reservation fees, at $9.0 million, were up $553,000, Reservation fees pro- vided most of the increase. Al- though royalties were received on 14.9 million barrels of crude oil from 718 wells, compared with 13.6 million barrels from 697 wells in 1954, income from this source was little higher in consequence of reductions which occurred in well -head prices for crude oil. The balance sheet shows total assets amounted to $2,1?4 mil- lion, an increase of $80 million, The increase in property invest- ment after retirements was $07 million. The 1955 Canadian Facile Railway dollar, the report shows, was earnc-.1 on the fol- lowing basis: Twelve cents from passeng- ers; 21 cents from products of mines and forests; 17 cents from products o, farms; 44 cents from manufacturers and miscellane- ous goods• six cents from other or unclassified traffic. The dollar was spent for: Payrolls, 53 cents; materials and supplies, 24 cents; deprecia- tion and retirements, seven cents; taxes and other expenses, I seven cents; fixed charges, four cents; dividends, improvements, etc, five cents. .1.

Perhaps his most memorable stunt occurred in the seventh inning of a cru- cial ball game. The batter bounced one off the rightfield fence in the stadium and made second base on a long, beautiful slide, "Very nice," murmured Cro- setti, as the runner began brushing himself off. Then, as an afterthought, "Boy, am I go- ing to have a big dinner to- night!" "Whatcha gonna eat?" asked the curious runner. "Steak with lots of fried on- ions." "Fried onions?" "Sure, don't you like them?" "No," retorted the runner. "I like 'em boiled. The big ones, big as baseballs." The players, engrossed, had wandered away from the bag and now Crosetti was between the runner and the sack. "Like this?" asked Crosetti, turning his glove up and show- ing the ball.

Conventional metal piping presented special problems. Due to its weight ft was difficult to handle. Instal- lation of joints and couplings was time consuming, Corrosion by water and soil chemicals de- creased its life and efficiency. A sudden dip in temperature below freezing often resulted in bursting of undrained pipe. • • • • With the.introduction of poly. thenePiP g (polythene in is a plastic made from Alberta na- tural gas), a trouble -flee, inex- pensive and easily installed cold water system has been made possible for the Canadian farm- er. The plastic is so light a farm boy can carry several hun- dred feet of piping on his shoul- der. It expands with freezing and returns to normal when the water thaws. It will remain in the soil indefinite1 without de- terioration. The only tools re- quired for installation are a knife to cut the piping ,and a screw driver to tighten 111e con- necting clamps. The piping can be laid down in a plowed fur- row for warm weather use or in a trench below the frost line for year-round use, • • Digging a ditch six to eight feet top width, three feet deep and a quarter of a mile long in one second sounds impossible, But it can be easily done -with dynamite, • • • Of course it might require half a day to load the holes along the course the ditch is to take, but the actual "digging" is done in the flash of time it requires for the dynamite to explode. Blasted ditches may_ lie any length and may vary from two and one-half feet to 12 feet deep and from four feet to 40 feet wide at the top. The soli where ditches are blasted should contain a high percentage of water for satisfactory results, • • • Two distinct methods of blasting 'ditches are described by experts of C -I -L's explosives division. These art the propaga- tion method which can be used in wet soils only. The electric method is intended for ground that is too dry or too hard for the successful use of the pro- pagation method. It can be em- ployed in almost any type of soil except dry sand in which it is practically impossible to blast ditches. * • • The propagation method is generally the quickest and most economical on wet soils and swamps. In this method only one hole is primed and the con- cussion from the explosion of the dynamite in this charge de- tonates the adjoining charge and so on down the whole line of charges. The priming may be done with either an electric blasting cap or a blasting cap and fuse. • - - In the electric method an electric blasting cap -must be inserted in every charge. These caps are hooked up in series and exploded simultaneously by tneans of a blasting machine. 6. Enclosed field :!e• AftirmntIv, 7, Pattern 1:iu4 '.t N. Thinly rettl..l .Ih tm n 1'. Fuel nil Id.

British Strike Criminal Nonsense Britain is keenly embarrassed about its "who drills the holes" shipyard strike at Gir'kenhead. It is not just dismay that an American purchaser of British ships, William White of 'New York, president of the Pen -Ore Steamship Company, is publicly incensed at the delay to one of his vessels by this "screwy" stoppage. Nor is it alone the implied threat that the Cammell Laird Shipyard - and perhaps other British builders - will get no more of Mr, White's orders. It is most of all the apprehen- sion that such an incident, re- ported around the world, will backfire against British ship- building in general, And British shipbuilders feel they already are under great pressure from the inroads of German and Japanese competitors.. • Bemoaned here is the threat- ened loss of dollars from future Pan -Ore building contracts - due to a dispute that originally started over the. lining of a hold in an Amenican banana vessel. Two • unions disagreed over which would bore holes that penetrate wood -backed alumin- um sheets in the lining - join- ers or metalworkers?

While the money is important, even more important is the threat to Brit- ish prestige, reliability, common sense and good will in an indus- try where once this country knew no peer, The outspoken liberal London News Chronicle declares the whole affair is "a disgrace" and warns that this is how "rot sets in." The newspaper notes the government has "remained 110- ticeably mute" although the Ministry of Labor now' is holding ail inquiry. Concludes the News Chronicle: "Strikes are often justified, but this one has degenerated into a piece of, criminal non- sense," Mr. White also commented on the tact that two of .his ships built in the Burntisland Yards in Scotland were handed over late - one taking 36 months, the other 52 months to complete. Although another builder, the Bartram and Sons Shipyard in Sunderland, boasts it built six ships in 12 months, with aver- age time of 16 weeks from keel laying to launching, it does not cite figures for the time required from launching to completion, It is in this later stage that recent delays have been encoun- tered by Mr, White in other yards, His unfinished ore boat was launched in July, 1955. The conservative London Daily Telegraph also labeled the Birkenhead affair a "costly dis- pute" and admitted "foreign cus- tomers cannot be expected to wait indefinitely."

They remem- ber the grim days of the late '20's and early '30's when there were too few ships to build and too little work, Orders are s t ill plentiful, meanwhile. Due to the shipping boom, many firms have con- tracts for three to five years, and Cammell Laird itself reportedly* has commitments ar far in ad- vance as 1960, GREEN THUMB For Easier Handling Why the straight rows and even spacing of seeds or plants In the vegetable garden? Part of the reason of course is neat- ness, but only part. Mostly we plant this way because it makes the job of looking after the gar- den very much easier. If the rows are straight, we can culti- vate in half the time as we do not have to wiggle carefully around each plant. And if the plants are uniformly spaced in the tows then we can weed tear more quickly too, Instead of feeling around with our fingers for the next onion or carrot or pea vine, we know it is approx. imately two, four or six ihches from the previous one and at one swoop we remove 90% of the intervening weeds. 1f the vegetable garden were planted any old way, wetrding, thinning, cultivating and spraying would be an unnecessarily back -break- ing chore and we couldn't think of using a garden tractor or even a hand drawn cultivator. Even in the formal clump planting in the flower garden, we should try to be uniform in the spacing so that cultivation is made easeil'. Success With Transplanting 1f we observe just a few sim- ple rules almost any plant can be moved when young and small. The main thing is•to keep the roots undistributed, to keep them away from the air and to cover quickly and firmly with fine moist soil. Watering dur- ing and immediately after trans- planting is essential, unless the soil is very moist and also if possible supply a little shade for the first few hours for a day or two. With big things like trees and shrubbery, it is also advisable to tie trunks or main stem firmly to a stake to pre- vent the wind loosening. If there are only a few things to move, one should do the fob in tlu evening and preferably when there is no wind. Above all it is most important to cover the roots well and keep the soil firmly pressed around them. To speed growth and lessen the shock of moving it is a good plan to sprinkle a little chemi- cal fertilizer around but not actually touching the roots. Take It Easy There is a nice thing about gardening in most parts of Can- ada. One doesn't have to rush. Because of the long hours• of sunshine, growth is rapid, and 'Pleven if we have not got really started yet, there is still plenty of time for most flowers and vegetables. As a matter of fact, there is far more risk of failure with too early planting than too late. Almost ever'ywher'e in Can. ada, it is possible to have an ex- cellent garden even if we are unable to get a spade into the ground until well on in May, And there are lots of quick growing things which will make abundant bloom or fine meals for the table even if planted in June. The experts, incidental- ly, always warn the beginner to take it easy, to prepare the soil well, and wait until the spring weather has really arrived. Of course one should get nursery stock and some of the hardier sorts of flowers and vegetables planted as soon as possible, but the main sowings are best post- poned until around this time or even later,,•_. Spreading the plantings, too, over a fairly long period, right up to early July in the warmer parts of Canada, is always ad- visable. 1n this way the harvest of flowers and vegetables is spread out too.'

B.D. The Church Endures Persecution Acts 6:8-10; 7:51-60 Memory Selection: Unto yes 11 is given in the behalf NI Christ, not only to believe ea him, but also to suffer for hie sake. Philippians 1:29. Some seventeen hundred years ago Tertullian said, "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church." This has often been proven true. The fear of death does not daunt the true disciples of the Lord. The martyrdom of the five yotl4 missionaries in Ecuador tut January has led to hundreds o! young people dedicating them- selves to go anywhere taking the gospel. After the death 41 Stephen there was great perse- cution against the church M Jerusalem. What was the re- sult? "They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. They that were scatttered abroad went every- where preaching the word." - One of the most significant statements in the lesson is, "The witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. Saul could not help being impresed by the at- titude of Stephen. His face was as the fact of an angel. As the stones were striking him he called on God saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice. "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." And when he had said this, he _sell asleep. Saul"' eo ..tiqued the persecu- tion with greater`vigU1~ y41s q - kicking against the pricks. Soon he was confronted by Jesus himself as he journeyed tie Damascus. There Saul surren- dered and soon became the greatest of the apostles. It is a great trial for the loved ones of those who die a mar- tyr's death. But we must re- member that God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders t perform. More was accomplish- ed through the death of Steph- en for the kingdom of God thaw could have been accomplished by his living many more years. God knows all things and he le all -wise. He is too wise to err and to good to be unkind. Let us always trust Him. SWEETHEART SOFT SOAP The bench jockeying in the 1929 World Series was unduly loud and vicious - so much N that Judge Landis had -to step in and order it stopped. Just before the start of the next game, Mickey Cochrane, tough Athletics' catcher, shouted to the Cubs, "Come on, sweethearts, let's go. Tea and cake will be served in the fourth inning." Alter the A's took the Series, Landis visited their clubhouse to congratulate them.
