Bad Weather For Fishermen
The smelt have been running now
for well over a week. Some good cat-
ches have been reported by those ven-
turing to the lake in th1 unfavourably
damp, "cold evenings, but many people
who like the outing us well as the fish,
have been content to •let the sinelt
spawn in peace, and the seas -on for
them is fast waning. •
Fisherman can content• themselves
with the knowledge that the trout fish-
ing season opens on Saturday, The
Department' has been busy stocking
streams in readiness for the season,
but the wary speckled beauties will
probably be just as elusive as ever;
We hope ,we have better luck this
year than last, Several people brought
specimens to the office 'for display, but
nary a won was left for the table.

Desperate Need
Time was, when the "glorious

Ivan and Lisa, in a romantic
mood, could walk up to a Mos-
cow registrar and say, "Write
us down; we want to be mar-
ried." A few hours, days, or
years later Ivan and Lisa, in
an unromantic mood, could step
into a registrar's office and say,
"Write us down; we aren't mar-
ried any more." And that was
that.
What of the children, if any?
Well, there were the state -con-

of morality and religion? This
casual freedom fitted very easi-

Is this change due to some
great moral or religious revival
in the U.S.S.R? We have heard
of none, The change has been
gradual, And no such revival
would be necessary to explain
it. Soviet society was simply
trying to run a course contrary
to one of several great forces
which have always made a

have smiled upon plural mar-

be loved throughout our lives."
And he went on: "We can't fill
that need if we think we can

Snake Oil Goes Electronic
By JAMES G. CROSSLEY
NEA Staff Correspondent
Snake oil these days comes
with flashing lights, buzzers and
efficient -looking panels of dials.
"Good for man or beast :. .
Cures anything from mange to
mouse bite. . . .Who'll buy the
first bottle?" That was the pitch
of the medicine show peddler as
he posed on the tailgate of his
wagon years ago.
His modern counterpart is
more sauve. He's selling a
"medical" machine or a "magic"
belt. His appeal to the crowd
appears as an ad in a magazine
or a letter in the mail. Custom-
ers may even have to join a cult.
It may be headed: "More
Feminine Appeal" or • "Feel
Young Again." But it's still the
same old gooseberry, in the tra-
dition of the snake oil that used
to be concocted in a rusty wash
tub at a secluded crick and sold
at a buck a bottle.

ing a definite policy,
"These exhibits protect the

Origin Of A
Wonderful School
We were interested to learn
about a school that started in
London, Ont., about 50 years
ago,specializing in the work of
a Railway Agent, which cov-
ered the study of Telegraphy,
Car Service, Freight, TIckets
and Baggage,
J. E. Casson, who had spent
seven years with the C.P.R, and
• sevenyears with the Scranton
School, discovered that there
wasn't any school in Canada
that specialized in this work,
and realizing that these posi-
tions were open only to men,
he started what was first known
as the Railway Agent's School..
After one year in London, he'
moved to Toronto and started'
under the name of the Dominion'
School of Telegraphy and Rail
roading, • Limited. Later the
name was changed to Cassan
Systems School.
Due to the fact that for the
first time a school had started
tp teach the traffic work, the
railway officials were so de-
lighted that they supplied him
with all forms, tariffs, tickets,
etc., to enable students to learn
in a practical way how the busi-
ness was handled,
It was pointed out that these
men on the railway, as teleg-
raphers and station agents, are
performing a national service
to the country in the same way
as a man in the Navy, Army or
Air Force, They are all serving
their country, and the school is
endorsed and recommended by
operating officials of the C.P.R.
and C.N.R.
Mr, Cassan's grandfather was
a captain in the British Army
and was . appointed .station-
master at Thorold, Ont,, in 1864,
at a salary of $400 per annum.
Railroading runs in the Cassan
family : his father was a farmer
'and had four sons in the rail-_
way business. In passing this in-
formation on to our readers, we
feel that it is a wonderful school
and a wonderful opportunity
for young men.

In 1955, farmers received 46
cents of each consumer's dollar
spent on food of Canadian farm
origin; this figure is unchanged
from 1954. The farm shark was
47 cents in 1953, 51 cents in • 1951
and 50 cents in 1949. The aver-
age for the period 1949 to 1951
was 48 cents. These calculations
are based on fixed quantities of
food as determined by Dominion
Bureau of Statistics food expen
diture surveys.
• • *
In 1955, the farmer received a
larger share of the consumer's
dollar spent on flour, bread,
beef, chicken, eggs and potatoes,
but received a smaller portion
for pork, butter, cheese and
some canned fruits and vege-
tables. '
• * -
Based on 15 food items, which
account for about 75 per cent
of consumers' expenditure on
Canadian farm foods, 1955 re-
tail prices were almost 11 per
cent above 1949; for' the farm
equivalents of the same 15 com-
modities, farm prices were about
3 per cent below 1949. Market-
ing costs increased almost 25 per
cent between these two periods
while the farm share was lower
by almost 9 per cent.
• •
•
Retail prices of the sante 15
food items were highest in 1952
when they were 18 per cent
above 1949. These items in terms
of the farm equivalent of the
retail product, were highest in
1951 when they were 15 per cent
above 1949. Marketing costs for
these products were highest in
1952, being above the 1949 fi-
gure by 27 per cent.

A Lasting Garden
For a summer long supply of
bloom, or fresh vegetables, we
must know how long it takes
from the time of planting until
we have the first bouquets or
salads. To keep on having bou-
quets and salads right through
the summer, we make several
plantings two or three weeks
apart, and we also may use an
early, a medium and a late ma-
turing sort.
Today's garden is no longer a
feast and famine proposition,
with more peas, beans or corn
than we can eat for a week and
then none at all, or with a great
showing of bloom in July but
not a single flower in August.
With a little planning and a
good seed catalogue there is no
reason why flowers or vegeta.
bles should not be yielding
something every day from the
first blooms and greens in the
spring until long after the
ground is frozen hard next fall.
Suitable Tools
I''or getting in close to tiny
flowers or vegetables, for weed-
ing and a few other delicate
jobs, it may be necessary to get
down on knees or knce pads but
with a little care a great deal of
the ordinary garden cultivating
and planting jobs can be han-
dled with a minimum of stoop-
ing. Spades, forks, dutch hoes,
spudders and many of the hand
cultivators can be purchased
with good long handles which
permit operation without any
back bending at alt. All of
these, and other tools too includ-
ing the lawn mower, It should
be ,remembered, will work eas-
ier and faster if their cutting
edges are kept sharp. For this
purpose an old file will be handy
and a little oil will also help.
Know Your Enemy
As for special pests, one
should provide himself with a
good bulletin so that any trouble
can be identified and the proper
dust or spray applied, It is not
a bad idea to take your troubles
to the nearest seed store and
lel the experts there prescribe
treatment. With the modern
dusts and sprays that handle all
sort: of bugs and diseases. either
singly or in combination, it u
no trouble to check pests, 'and
especially if we get them early.
Help Them Stand
It is a shame to see fine
plants tangled and sprawled
over the ground, when it is so
easy and simple to provide the
necessary support. Little things
of course can stand by them-
selves, but the bigger and bush-
ier flowers, and such plants as
tomatoes cannot, and especially
in seasons of heavy rain and
wind.
For the bushier flowers like
delphinium, zinnias, marigolds,
peonies and so on, support can
be furnished that will soon be
virtually invisible. Before the
big growth starts we pace the
support and simply let the plant
grow around and through it.
For this purpose we may use
metal rings, hoops or a foot or
so of chicken wire arranged in
a loose cylinder about the plant.
Another good plan is to place
some brush firmly in the ground
and close to the main stem. In
a few weeks the plant comple-
tely hides the brush but the sup-
port is there.
For tall, individual plants
like dahlias, lilies, tomatoes and
simileT things we use stakes
stained bravo or greets perhaps,
and these are hammered firmly
in the ground within a couple of
Inches of the plant first thing in
the spring, so that the roots will
not be disturbed.
For climbing plants like
sweet peas, morning . glories,
pole beans and so on, chicken
wire netting, old tennis net-
ting, strings, or brush will serve
and here again the support
should be placed early, so that
roots and plants will not be
damaged,
First Aid For
Your TV Set
The wire -and -glass jungle in-
side a TV cabinet, is a chal-
lenge to any handyman. So,
next time your set goes on the
blink, here are some pointers
on finding your way around in
there.
First, and best advice is:
DON'T. Just don't. Call a com-
petent serviceman, Despite all
these Do -It -Yourself columns,
and their simple diagrams, a
TV set's innards remain a dan-
gerous expensive place for elec-
tric babes -in -the -woods to wan-
der.
But. if you ‘"must," you'll
neer! a "cheater" and a "bleed-
er."
Removing Ilse back panel of
your set cuts ofT the power.
This safety protects you from
interlock, protects you from
your own curiosity. To' cheat
yourself of this protection, you
buy a "cheater" cord, less than
$1 at any TV shop. With it, you
can apply power to the open
set, and live dangerously.
A "bleeder" is just 18" of in-
sulated wire, with 111" of insula-
tion scraped off each end. Tape
on short wooden handles; leave
the bane wire ends protruding.
High voltages build up inside
your set, and linger on long
after it's been turned oft To
discharge them, after you've got
the back of your set removed,
touch one bare end otthe bleed-
er to the charged part, the
other end to the set's- metal
chasis.
Watch out for high voltages
at:
1 The metal eaps of any tubes
in, or near the high voltage
cage (that's the little closed
metal box just inside the back).
2. The high voltage leads
coming from the cage, or going
to the picture tube.
3, The outer coating of the
picture tube.
4. The positive leads of the
filter condensers (underneath
the chassis).
If you don't know what
you're doing, bleed otT every-
thing you could possibly touch.
Remember, your set can pack a
20,000 volt wallop, Don't push
your nose in there, Voltages like
that command respect, and jump
considerable distances to en-
force it, Those who get hurt
are those who get careless, or
who didn't know the set was
"loaded."
Only mechanical source of
danger is the picture tube.
Handle it only as a last resort,
and then gently, one hand sup-
porting the fragile neck, the
other under the front face. Tap-
ped or strained in the wrong
place, you'll get an implosion.
That's the opposite of 'explo-
sion, but the face -full of flying
glass will feel exactly the same.
Very simply, your set is
divided into six sections: tuner;
audio amplifier; video amplifier;
sweep and synchronization; low
voltage supply; . high voltage
supply: It's necessary to know
which tubes are which in your
set (A set has as many as 30
tubes.) A tube layout diagram
is usually pasted inside. If not,
write the manufacturer for one.
Symptoms &'Cures
Here are a few common pic-
ture troubles, and possible cures

Dig Deep Enough •
An Austrian professor, whose
name is kept secret, living near
Vienna, has recovered a cen-
tury -old family treasure kuriecj
In the clay floor of his cellar.
For generations his family
had been collectors of artistic
and historical treasures of jew-
ellery and rare coins of Japan-
ese, Chinese, and European
origin, valued at many hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
During World War II the pro-
fessor buried the collection in
the cellar of his home for
safety, When the Russians came
they seized the house before he
had time to dig up and remove
the treasure, and the professor
was sure the Russians had dis-
covered the collection. But he
never dared to investigate.
He made a restitution claim
at the Viennese Treasury Board,
When the Russians left, a com-
• mission was sent to the house
for inspection of damage done
to the property.
When the basement floor was
dug up, the treasure was found,
intact and -'unharmed.
Now the' professor has heard
that the Russians did actually
dig up the whole of the cellar
to within a few inches of where
the treasure had been hidden,
But they were not looking for
it. They were trying to trace
the fault in a defective water

Saul thought he was doing
God's will in persecuting the
church. Then as he went to Da-
mascus with authority to arrest
any disciples he himself was
arrested by Jesus Christ. Jesus
said to him, "It is hard for the
to kick against the pricks"
Some think that Saul's con-
science had been troubling his
since the day he kept the gar-
ments of those who stoned Ste-
plhen to death. Stephen with a
face like an angel had given a
convincing address and then
midst the falling stones had
claimed to see the Son of man
standing. on the right hand of
God. His final words were a
prayer for his enemies. Saul
couldn't forget that experience.
013 the Damascus road Saul
saw Jesus and surrendered to
him. He was blinded by the
heavenly light and was led into
Damascus into the house of
Ananias. The Lord had pre-
pared Ananias for his coming.
Ananias anounced to him his
commission from God that he
was a chosen vessel to bear the
Lord's name before the Gen-
tiles, and kings, and the chil-
dren of Israel. Then Ananias
prayed for Saul and his sight
was restored. Saul became the
foremost of the apostles. He

A Lasting Garden
For a summer long supply of
bloom, or fresh vegetables, we
must know how long it takes
from the time of planting until
we have the first bouquets or
salads. To keep on having bou-
quets and salads right through
the summer, we make several
plantings two or three weeks
apart, and we also may use an
early, a medium and a late ma-
turing sort.
Today's garden is no longer a
feast and famine proposition,
with more peas, beans or corn
than we can eat for a week and
then none at all, or with a great
showing of bloom in July but
not a single flower in August.
With a little planning and a
good seed catalogue there is no
reason why flowers or vegeta.
bles should not be yielding
something every day from the
first blooms and greens in the
spring until long after the
ground is frozen hard next fall.
Suitable Tools
I''or getting in close to tiny
flowers or vegetables, for weed-
ing and a few other delicate
jobs, it may be necessary to get
down on knees or knce pads but
with a little care a great deal of
the ordinary garden cultivating
and planting jobs can be han-
dled with a minimum of stoop-
ing. Spades, forks, dutch hoes,
spudders and many of the hand
cultivators can be purchased
with good long handles which
permit operation without any
back bending at alt. All of
these, and other tools too includ-
ing the lawn mower, It should
be ,remembered, will work eas-
ier and faster if their cutting
edges are kept sharp. For this
purpose an old file will be handy
and a little oil will also help.
Know Your Enemy
As for special pests, one
should provide himself with a
good bulletin so that any trouble
can be identified and the proper
dust or spray applied, It is not
a bad idea to take your troubles
to the nearest seed store and
lel the experts there prescribe
treatment. With the modern
dusts and sprays that handle all
sort: of bugs and diseases. either
singly or in combination, it u
no trouble to check pests, 'and
especially if we get them early.
Help Them Stand
It is a shame to see fine
plants tangled and sprawled
over the ground, when it is so
easy and simple to provide the
necessary support. Little things
of course can stand by them-
selves, but the bigger and bush-
ier flowers, and such plants as
tomatoes cannot, and especially
in seasons of heavy rain and
wind.
For the bushier flowers like
delphinium, zinnias, marigolds,
peonies and so on, support can
be furnished that will soon be
virtually invisible. Before the
big growth starts we pace the
support and simply let the plant
grow around and through it.
For this purpose we may use
metal rings, hoops or a foot or
so of chicken wire arranged in
a loose cylinder about the plant.
Another good plan is to place
some brush firmly in the ground
and close to the main stem. In
a few weeks the plant comple-
tely hides the brush but the sup-
port is there.
For tall, individual plants
like dahlias, lilies, tomatoes and
simileT things we use stakes
stained bravo or greets perhaps,
and these are hammered firmly
in the ground within a couple of
Inches of the plant first thing in

and here again the support
should be placed early, so that

damaged,

Ainnial 'Meeting of Huron

A review pf the past year was taken
and plans for the future were made at
the annual meeting of Huron Pres-
byterial of the United Church of Can-
ada held at James Street Church, Exe•
ter, Tuesday, Apr, 10, Over 300 dele-
gates and members were present, repre-
senting 07 'Afternoon, Evening and
Young Women's Auxilluries In Huron
County.
Morning worship services wer,, tak-
en by Mrs. W, Love, Grund Bend, and
Mrs. J, McGill, Clinton, the Vice Presl-
ddnts of the South and Centre Sec-
tions respectively, while the afternoon
worship period was conducted by'Mrs.
F. Toll, Auburn end Mrs, M. Dennis,
RR. 2, Bluevale, vice presidents of the
West and, North sections of the Pres-
byterial. The ladies were welcomed to
Exeter and to the James Street church
by Mrs. C. E. Zurbrigg, Exeter, to
which Mrs. W, J. Greer, Wingham,
mnde n fitting reply,
In tine absence—of the correspond-
ing secretary, Miss Minnie Barbee,
Mrs, W. J. Greer took the roll cull and
give the statistical report. An appeal
\vas made to the ladies to try to de-
velop the talent within their own
groups, Mild It is desirable 'to have
guest speakers' at the meetings occas-
icinally, Itis not wise to have them too
frequently. ' The ladies were also asked
to make provision for missionary train-
ing for the' young women of the con-
gregation.
The book award given to the aux-
iliary whose members have read the
most missionary books during the year
was won by Bethel Auxiliary and was
the book entitled "Mist on the River."
It was also mentioned that the study
nee t year would be 'on Trinidad.
The Christian citizenship secretary.
Mrs, M. Doig, Fordwich, chose a unique
way of presenting her story, This was
s poster on whicb was painted a wheel
called ."Christian Citizenship."
There were four train spokes in the
wheel representing temperance, social
welfare, railal brotherhood and world
peace and the spokes in between told
what each person could do to promote
these four things. Each spoke came
from the hub of the wheel which was •
called "You." thus depicting that all
these things depend on the individual •
A new office, that of candidate sec-
relary, was established this year and
Mrs, W. J. Griffin appealed to each
woman to consider herself a candidate
secretary and be ever on the alert for
young womon who.might give full time
service to the church as missionaries at
home or abroad.
The 1955 allocntion for Huron Pres-
byterial was $21,60090 and $21,141.00
was sent to the Brunch Treasurer, thus
the allocation was exceeded by $141.00.
However, in 1050 the Presbyterial has
been asked to raise $21,900, so members
were requested to put forth nn extra
effort.

ple had nothing to give their children
so orphanages were established by -the
misssionaries, There were establishments
for both boys and girls, These children
grew up to be Christians and when it
became time for the boys to establish
their own homes, wives were chosen
from among the Christian girls, Thus
Christian homes were founded. This is
the foundation on which the Church in
India is established.
She reviewed the ndvance that hnd
been made In education in India. Thu
standards of teachers and pun!1s have
been greatly raised and the Indian peo-
ple have learned to be independent.

Although the Indlnn people have
shown that they can do it, and are do-
ing it, they still need our prayers. She

sionaries, for doctors and nurses, ani

Crop Report
A number of the farmers started
work on the land in the South end of
the County during this past week and a
few fields of grain were seeded. How-
ever the weather still remains quite
cool and warmer weather coupled with
some rainfall Is' needed fcr better

Spraying for Warble Fly Control is
under way in all Townships and it
would appear that there is an increased
demand for the spray treatment this
PRINCIPAL
INGREDIENT
THE PRINCIPAL INGREDIENT in the cost of a
product is labour — labour in mine or forest, in
transportation, in factory ,and office, in wholesale
and retail outlets. At every stage of production and
distribution, from the extraction of the raw mater-
.
•sal to the ultimate sale of the finished product, cost is
added in the forst of wages.
Because wages are so all-important they must be
right with relation to the services rendered. Higher
wages are sensible only when accompanied by
greater porductivity. Disturb this balance and high-
er prices are inevitable. When prices get too high,
sales go down. When sales go down there are fewer
jobs.

Farm Forum Enjoys Mem-
bers Own Composition
The following poem was compusei
by Mr. Norman McDowlel, and read
at the final meeting of the Westfield
Farm Forum. Unfortunately it was
left out at the time, along with other
news items, but we are happy to pub-
lish it now.
Farming is a joy untold
With lots of work but not much gold.
We never have to fret or Frown
For fear of a job to let us clown,
Sometimes the going gets real tough,
And we might term it even rough,
For instance when the price is low,
For all' the things we raise and 'grog',
We wish that we could have more say
In what we sell and raise our pay.
33ttt when purchance we're forced to buy
The man 111 town just winks his eye.
And says any price Is so and so,
My share of profit I have to show,
Not thinking of the plight we're in
With prices going down like sin.
And so we tighten our belt and pay.
And hope for a much brighter day,
With all the talk nt'ound these days,
About how we've got to find new ways,
'ro cut production costs somehow,
And get control of surplus now,
I really have a little scheme
That would make surpluses a (keen).
I would have each farmer pin to stay
In bed 011 nine o'clock each day,
No one would work from noon '111 three,
And after five we'd all be free,
Saturday we'd all shut down
To argue politics in town,
That way we'd be producing less
And thus avoid a surplus mess.
The trouble is you won't agree
To work this little selleme with me,
And so'we go on, In the sane old way
Inhopes that someday farming will pay.

those days of 1950-51 and even 52, how
the farmers supported the rttrul towns,
when they received prices for their
eggs, cream, beef, hogs and milk, which
were in fairer relationship to the prices
of the tractors, cars ,refrigerators, and
new furniture which they were able
to buy, Farmers provided almost all
the money which built and maintained
the implement ngencys, garages, feed
mills, various retail stores, and even
churches in all rural towns which had
no ihdustry or nearby factory. Now
farmers have only half the spending

If you send
cash through the mails,
you run a real risk of losing it, For your own peace
of mind, it's far wiser to send money orders, The
small amount a money order costs, assures you
that your money will be safe and sound. No one
can receive the cash except the person to whom you
send the money order. Next time you want to send
money, whether $5,00 or $500,00, call in on us for
a money order or bank draft, This takes only a
few minutes to arrange. It's one of the many helpful
banking 'services we provide.

"Dear ':'Antie '-Hirst,: For a
number of years my husband
has been a steady drinker; .,it
has caused me a great deal of
trouble, and even despair. When
I've asked him about quitting
or joining Alcoholics Anony-
mous, he laughs as if it` were a
big joke 1 The longest time he
ever quit was about a month,
and then he would be miserable
and make me miserable, too.
For years he would have an
affair every so a:ten and stay
away from home.
"He does work, and I con-
sider him intelligent, but he
doesn't seem to WANT to do
right. What can I do that I
haven't done? If he doesn't
straighten up, I believe I will
have to leave for good.' Any
help you could give me would
be greatly appreciated,
MRS, T. M,"

A 1VORTHLESS MALE
"Dear Anne Hirst : After live
years of living with a drunken
husband, who also gambled, got
in trouble with the law, and
was cruel to my little son and
me, I have left,
"But I still am not convinced
I did the right thing, We are
taught there is good in us all.
Am I deserting a weakling when
he needs me? Will it drive him
faster down the wrong road? I
am so confused I appeal to you,
whose work I honor, to set me
straight,
MARY"
*
*
I urge you to stop senti-
mentalizing, and face the
facts of your marriage as
your letter revealed them,
Your husband is irrespons-
ible, dishonest, brutal, He
made it necessary for you to
move from one little place to
another, whilehe continued
his drinking and various of-
fences that humiliated you so
much. He has had all the
chances he deserved. Living
with such a creature can
bring only misery to a per-
son like you, and later to
your little son.
Go through with the div-
orce. You have succeeded in
making an honest living for
yourself and your child; you
have found some measure of
peace. Keep it that way.

* * •,

the time to invite substitute
,guests.

ISSUE 17 — 1956
•
1L is such a bright, sunny
morning it just makes you feel
glad to be alive, And yet it Is
cojd -- ten above by our two
thermometers — so we still feel
as if' we are definitely in the
grip of winter. But it doesn't
seem to matter — it can't last
too • much- longer, The birds
know it and so do the trees and
shrubs, Thewillow branches
are getting a yellowish colour
and the dogwoods a little red-
der every day. Crows are fly-
ing, not just one now and then,
but by twos and threes they
are leaving the woods exploring
the fields and coming closer to
the buildings. Watching nature's
reawakening just before the
spring is beautiful and inspir-
ing. It is so big, so very big, that ,
all our man-made plans seem
small and. insignificant by com-
parison, Each generation has
its span and is gone but the
natural forces of nature go on,
century after century, changing
only as the seasons change,
Even now, as our thoughts
' urnzto• spring, we look around
see more snow than we
have had all winter. Actually,
there hasn't' been 'a day this
winter when our lane has really
been blocked, So different from
conditions existing in other
parts of the Continent, And we
don't have to go many miles
from home either to notice the
difference. Last Thursday a
friend and I went to Guelph to
Mit a convalescing patient. The -
weather was just .grand when
we left here but ten miles from
home it was another story —
snowflurries swirling across the
fields and along the highway.
We wondered what we ` were
heading ,into but we went on
our way. And then, coming back,
we found good weather again as
soon as we crossed the invisible
boundary.
I was also in Toronto last
week — on the only other good
day that we had. My time was
taken up with business mat-
-ters until, two -thirty and then
I. was free to visit with Daugh-
ter and David, Dave, I am glad
to say, was full of life and
mischief, - very different from
the little boy, we knew a couple
of months ago. Children are. up,
and down so quickly. We get'
so worried about them and then
first thing you know they are
back to normal. Too bad older
people haven't the same bounce!
I wish that particularly just
now because so many of our
friends have 'been seriously ill
this winter. Maybe when the
buds are swelling, birds sing-
ing and spring flowers peeking
up through the soil, everyone
will feel better, I sincerely
hope so anyway.
I expect all farm folk who
take a genuine interest, is
farming as a way of living —
and in conservation and re-
forestation — will learn with
- regret of the dekth of Louts
Bromfield in 0h»n at the age
of fifty-nine. He i'ad been such,
an active man all his life, and -
had contributed so much to ag-
riculture.ln. both- a practical and
literafy vpy; that one imagined
be ; considerably older •
than. tie°''-tvas, Not everyone
agreed with . his viewpoints but '•
there is little doubt that any- ,
one who could arouse Intere>it
tothe point of controversy cer-
tainly contributed a great deal
to agriculture, '
Well, there doesn't seem to
be any let-up in the rabies
scare. It seems a downright
shame so many dogs and cats'
are being needlessly destroyed.
It just proves that the owners.
had little real affection for their
pets. Either that or they didn't
want the bother of looking af-
ter them or the expense of hav-
ing them treated, In homes
where there is probably only
one dog, or possibly a cat, and
immunity from the disease so
easy to procure, it seems like
wanton destruction of animal
life However if that is the at-
titude of the owners perhaps
the trusting little creatures are
better 'off dead than alive. I
wish the problem could be as
easily dealt with on a farm or
that an overall charge would
cover all the cats and dogs, Af-
ter all, in districts where a free
clinic• has not been established,
inoculation should at least be •
cheaper by the dozen! Then ot, ,
course there is the problem of.
catching the cats. With home-
grown pets that's easy but when
two stray cats come along and
take up residence, as they have
done here, it is like trying to
catch a bird by putting salt on
its tail, However, according to
Dr, McKinnon Phillips, there is
no need to get into a panic over
the situation. Up to the present '
time there have been only fif-
ty-two known cases of rabid
animals in the entire province.
He advises that the necessary
precautions be taken but says
the wholesale destruction 'of
household pets is entirely un-
warranted. I am, beginning to
wonder whether ' our cats and
dogs know that something un-
usual is in the wind. I never
knew them to be so full of life
and energy. Rusty and Robbie
are chasing around after each
other all the morning - but' the •
cats devote their energy to eat-
ing and sleeping, both of which
they are doing to excess. Speak-
ing of eating' — I must fly
otherwise Partner will come to
to find a bare table instead of
dinner waiting for him. A man
will put up with many things
but dinner -time is dinner -time.
And that's that.

• an intuitive awareness .:of being
''`in each other's presence, This
awareness, not anything elec-
tronic, is responsible for the
elusive rapport that can extend
• from a Maine . farmhouse to a
• Hollywood stage. =
The foundation of this rap-
port is a shared experience in
the immediacy of the present,
In filmed TV, one of the two
• vital parties concerned — the
. player •— completed his emo-
tional 'involvement per h a p s
weeks or months earlier; the
audience, in effect, is catching
up, • But in live TV, both' the, -
star and the' spectator are tied
together by_ the strong', of all
• 4• • possible bonds; Neither knows•
what the next minute will, bring
forth; it has ,not been lived yet.
Both player and viewer know
this accord to be true, both feel
it and, most important, both
respond to it, The actor versed
in all media can attest • that
there is 'a special hollow in the
pit of the stomach as one "goes
on" in front of a live audience;
There is no turning back, no re-
takes, no second chance. It is .
playing for the money. Even a
hardened viewer cannot be im-
mune to the contagion; he com-
mits himself to the excitement
or apprehension of the moment.
Wi11 there be a triumph or dis-'
aster? Uncertainty is•the price-
less stimulus on both sides of
the screen, •
The question is often asked '
why a filmed show, when made
under conditions seemingly
identical with• those prevailing
in the case of a live program,
still should seem different.
-.There is ample. If there is one
• thing in the theatre that can-
. not be faked or simulated, it is
in opening night. And all of
live TV is an opening night.
There -may be previews galore
and they should- seem` like the •

after all, perhaps' should, riot be
explained; .only •appreelated.
But that a viewer does let
a psychological prejudice play
a part in 'his -attitude toward
film- cannot be seriously dis-
puted; he. can hardly do other-
wise, because the television in-
dustry is determined to remind
him that there is such a diff-
erence between the two TV
forms, Instead of minimizing
the , distinctions, TV, producers

Amazing Facts
About ' Canada
The Mysterious North, by
Pierre Berton, illustrated With
photographs and maps. (Toron-
to; McClelland & Stewart),
Pierre Berton was born at
Whitehorse and grew up at
Dawson in the Yukoh Territory,
As a newsman and magazine
editor he has 'returned many
times to all parts of tho far
north, from the mouth of the
Mackenzie in the West to the
precipitous eastern shores of
Baffin Island. His book is a re-
flection of the attachment that
grows on men who know this
primevally lonely land, an af-
fection that 'is not dulled by
subzero. cold or the exploding
of glamorous myths by prosaic
tact. And fortunately it is also
asaccurate, complete and read-
able a survey of arctic and sub-
arctic Canada as has yet been,
produced, - •
The • thing that makes "The
Mysterious North'such spright
ly reading is that it is peppered
with the, sort of amazing facts
and • legends that readers have
come to associate with books on
Texas. •But since Texas would'
be lost in these northern terri-
tories, these Canadian stories
often are even more startling.
Consider .these;
The Canadian north contains
more lakes than all the rest of
the world put together, -
It also,however, supports one
of, the world's great deserts, the
arctic tundra,' on a meager pre-
cipitation of between 2 and 10
inches ., yearly. Paradoxically,
thousands of the aforemention-
ed lakes happen- to Ile an this
desert, '
'.Propriety is the rule in al-
most every northern boom town.
and mining camp, Even Dawson
City, at the height of the Klon-
dike gold stampede in 1898, ob-
served the Sabbath so rigidly
that the Mounted Police put
men in jail for chopping their
own kindling on Sunday.
Great areas , of the • land re-
main unexplored, uncharted.
,And yet no comparable area of
the earth's surface presents such
a record of sustained explora-
tion - nearly 400 years of it.
Mr. Berton is never merely
flamboyant at the cost of ob-
jectivity, however. He makes it
clear that to say the Canadian
nprth is all of a piece is a great
misconception. He 'emphasizes,.
whether in puncturing the leg-
• end of a .hidden tropical valley
or in• showing that a rich moun-
tain: of mercury -ore is uneco-
nomic,to mine because of dis-'
tance, that the north is not a
:•'continuous bonanza -land soon
• to be as heavily populated as
the rest of Canada. He points
out that as yet the land has only
two important resources; fur
arid minerals. Water power has
n still to be tapped. And before
any real population growth can
be expected, man must solve
the problem of permafrost
w h i c h- prevents 'systematic'
plumbing,and sewage use; Then
. too theere`: are social -problems;
In someplaces, for instance, the
Indian is as rigidly segregated
from the white man' as is the -
Negro in the American South.
Prayer by Phone
Thirty churchgoers in the
, Scottish town. of Ayr fight dis-
ease and death with a "prayer
by telephone" system by which,
their pastor said, "it is imposs-
ible to say how many our pray-
ers have helped to save,"
"I ,think every church should
havea prayer group like this,"
the','Rev, - William Whalley de-
clared, "Itis a wonderful
thing,"
The Rev. Mr, Whalley, who
started the system an the west
coast Scottish resort, contacts
the members by ,telephone or
bicycle whenever, he, .hears a
sick person is in danger.
No matter what the hour,
they all begin to pray.
Every week in his church,
the Rev, Mr. Whalley,calls on a
100 -member prayer group to
bow their heads and pray for
the sick,
"We do not claim to have
saved lives ourselves. God
saves the sick, we merely pray
for them," the pastor .said,
