Blyth Cemetery Board appeals to lot
owners, or family, relatives, for fur-
ther contributions in connection with
perpetual care of their lots.
11 has been brought to the attention
of the Board, that annual due pay-
ments have dropped from 5147,00 per
year to a low of 53.00 in 1955.
Furthermore there are 285 cemetery
lots upon which no perpetual care
has been paid.
In an endeavour to bring cemetery
records up to date, the Cemetery Board
have decided to have a list of the reg-

"Dear Anne Hirst; I am a very
disturbed woman. Nine years
ago I married very young, and
not because I was in love. I was
lonely, all of my girl friends
were getting married and I de-
cided it was time for me. I chose
my husband as I'd have selected
a new hat. I was too young to
know any better,
"I stayed married and had two
babies, thinking (as so many
people say) that I'd learn to love
him. I didn't, He is not repulsive
to me, he is kind and loving, and
we do have a good family life
with fun together and two dar-
ling children. But I feel my life
is being wasted; my heart still
longs for a man I could love
passionately. I see married cou-
ples so happy together, but my
husband seems like a dear rela-
tive.
"This is my only reason for
wanting to leave him. Often I
feel it is really wrong to us both
to stay on without the thrilling
love I'd read about. I am so con-
fused, I'm almost sick. Aren't I
missing something really essen-
tial? Must I keep on hungering

Many tines in this column 1
have expressed regret that we
are in danger of being hemmed
in by highways and the exten-
ded boundaries of our nearby
town, I have said we like rural
life and the quiet of the country,
All that was, and is, perfectly
true. But now I find there are
degrees of quietness and
more than one kind of rural
life. We have friends in Duf-
ferin county who were injured
in a car accident last year. Of
course we have been writing
hack and forth but that is not
like seeing one another. So
last Tuesday I drove up to the
Shelburne district, stayed over-
night and came back next day.
It was a lovely drive through
the Caledon hills—except that 1
was too busy watching the road
to look around at the scenery
The farm where 1 was visit-
ing is situated only a few miles
from a spot that is supposed to
be the highest point in Ontario,
The scenery was beautiful, And
the air -1 just cannot describe
how wonderful the air felt.
Our friends live about two
miles hack from the highway.
They have the hydro and tele-
phone and there are neighbours
just across the road so they are
not exactly isolated, The us-
ual farm activities were going
on while 1 was there—cows to
milk, pigs and poultry to feed,
places to fix up ready for hay-
ing. A truck came in to pick
up eggs and cream, Electricians
were doing a repair job—some-
body coming and going most of
the time.
Then came night. 1 knew our
friends were used to going to
bed early and 1 was tired after
driving, so we were all in bed
by ten o'clock. And then 1 lay
awake—listening . , , just list-
ening. And do you know there
wasn't a thing to listen to—no
trains in the distance, no'•
whistles, no cars or trucks on
the road, no wind blowing, not
even a dog barking, I never
"heard" so much "nothingness"
in all my life. It was uncanny.
And then after about an hour
I heard a low rumble, away ofl
In the distance, so far away I
couldn't recognise the sound.
Gradually it got louder and I
knew it was a plane. Sometime
later the wind go up; the rain
came pelting down and there
was distant thunder. With
something to listen to 1 finally
went to sleep. Soon after day-
break I was awake once more.
Again that weird stillness. I
thought at least the hens would
'be cackling. But they weren't
—or it they were I didn't hear
them. Still more extraordinary
—there wasn't a single bird
singing from the tree tops.
When I came down to break-
fast I couldn't help commenting
on the quietness, "Quiet. yes—
but the quietness is just heaven
to me," said Mrs.----, Well,
everyone to their taste, As I
said before we like the peace
of the country—but I don't like
It that quiet!
By the next night I was home
and in my, own bed. For a
second night I lay awake quite
awhile, This time I was listen-
ing to the rurnble of the trains,
the whistle as the approached
various crossings; the comfort-
ing, homey sound of cars as

are now a nightmare instead of
a time for relaxation and pleas-
ure. If only more people were
content to stay at home. In-
stead one tnight almost think
.they were bent 'on mass suicide.

.and to enjoy; so• many people
who need help, comfort and

night -flying planes going in and
out of Malton, tail lights blink-
ing. And at daybreak—birds on
the wing; birds chirping and
singing— sparrows, sterlings,
robins, thrushes and orioles—
joyously greeting the new day.
I thought how wonderful if it
could stay this way for ever—
rural living but with all the
comforting sounds of life going
on around us. Each farm family
a complete unit in itself but
sharing common interests and
all within easy reach of one
another. Plenty of trees, birds
and a few rabbits and ground-
hogs . and mosquitoes. But
definitely. Even in Dufterin there
were mosquitoes. If only I were
less allergic to them. Instead
oi'. getting used to them my
resistance to the pesky things
seems to ,be getting lessand
less. Gardening is •completely
out so far as I am concerned,
In fact I have reached the stage
when I feel like saying—anyone
can have my share of the sum-
mer. I'll take the spring, winter
and fall.
The foregoing was • written
before the awful storm struck
many parts of Ontario on Sun-
day. It was bad here but we
didn't get the worst of it by a
long way. Power was off for
three hours, branches ripped
from trees but no serious dam-
age that I know of, Our "moun-
tain" gives us good protection.
Just before the storm cars were
racing along the highways no
doubt homeward bound. We
didn't have any company but
we didn't feel too happy know-
ing that Dee and family were
planning to visit Art's brother
at Midland. And that dreadful
tragedy near Lake Simcoe. It

If you can laugh oft cares and

And trouble makes you fatter,
If you can keep a cheerful face,

Musical Windmills
We heard S. Tlago do Cacem
before we really saw it, and it
remains for us on this account
among others one of the pleas-
ant memories of the whole of
our trip. The road approaches
the town — it is really little
more than an overgrown village
— over high ground, for S. Tlago
lies in a' horseshoe of hii!s that
girdle it on the north, the east
and the south, leaving only the
western side open to the lower -
lying ground and •the sea ten
miles away, Ranged along the
curving crest of this ring of mod-
est hills Is a line of windmills,
and it was these that we heard.
The windmills of S. Tiago do
Cacem stand out in our memory
as something magical, They are
squat, round, conical -topped lit-
tle buildings, far less graceful
or imposing than the few tower -
mills that survive in our own
eastern counties: toys one would
say, looking at them across the
intervening fields, But musical
toys. Therein lies their charm.
For the sound that betokened S.
Tiago do Cacem came from these
innumerable toy windmills,
whose sails revolved gaily at the
bidding of a gentle breeze.
It is an altogether mysterious,
haunting sound that they make;
a rising -and -falling sound, fluc-
tuating in strength on the im-
pulse of the wind, not unlike
the distant, forest -tree -filtered
moan of a wood -pigeon but more
eerie, less substantial. , , •
We cut across the grass to in-
spect these wind -operated musi-
cal boxes, expecting the music
to increase in strength as we did
so. But it did not, Rather, the
total effect of these pastel -shaded
notes remained of sound eman-
ating from all the scattered
windmills within range, and the
effect at our approach was not
unlike the moving of a micro-
phone about the different wood-
winds in an orchestra.
The secret was revealed as we
drew nearer, From the conical
top of each windmill there pro-
truded a beam spoked with a
light rope that made an eight -
sided web, like that of a giant
spider, Between the alternate
pairs of poles a triangular piece
of canvas was stretched, the sails
thus consisted of four triangles
al canvas equally spaced and
hollowed by the wind. And
strung along the ropes were lit-
tle clusters of red clay whistles,
like small bulbous vases. Each
had been subtly pierced to fun-
nel the wind, and it was these
clusters of ocarina•like whistles,
that distributed about the land-
scape, made this sweet, systeri-
ous music.
They were not there solely
for our pleasure, of course. Ex-
ploring later, we found the mil-
lers' cottages, dotted about in
hollows on the hillsides or ort the
outskirts of the town, The mil-
ler's wife, of course, would be
busily occupied with her domes-
tic chores and keeping an eye
on her numerous children, The
miller, however, would be rest -
Ing, his feet on a box, his eyes
shut, his head sunk on his chest.
Only his ear, like that of a
watchdog, would be on the alert.
So long as the music of his par-
ticular mill, which he could dis-
tinguish by some art from am-
ong the others, continued, so long
might ' e continue to relax. But
when the wind changed the sails
would cease to turn, and then
he must leave his chair for his
mill, slackest off one rope, haul
In another, till he had man-
oeuvred the sails into the wind
!gain and the music started up
Ince more. — From "Portuguese
Tourney," by Garry Hogg.

Empire Auctioned To Pay The Army
Commodus is quite the most
notorious of all Roman emper-
ors. Yet, strangely he was the
son of Marcus Aurelius, probably
the best of them all.
The Roman people must have
expected big things from a son
of the great and good Marcus.
But their hopes received a viol-
ent shattering when, in the tri-
umphal procession in which the
new Emperor returned to the
capital from Hungary—where
his father died—Commodus had
had his Chambedlain, an ex-
clave and ex -charioteer, named
Saoterus, riding alongside him
in the imperial litter.
Very soon, the flagrant and
abominable excesses of the Em-
peror brought home the terrible
truth to the Romans: that, once
they had a madman reigning
over them. And not only the
maddest, but the most vicious
man ever to fill the imperial
throne.
His first act was to raise all
his intimate companions—box-
ers, charioteers, and other
"sportsmen"—to noble rank, and
to put them into jobs of the
greatest influences.
He had enough sense to leave
the control of the Praetorion
Guard in the hands of a gen-
eral, Tarrutenius Paternus, who
was both able and honest; but
most of the other key positions
of the Roman Empire which in
those days meant the entire civ-
ilized Western World, Com -
modus gave to hisfavourites,
men leadin most vicious lives,
all worthy companions of gam-
bling -crazed Commodus, if not
of a Roman Emperor.
Within two years Commodus
had so shocked Rome that his
sister Lucilla, together with her
stepson and cousin, had hat-
ched a conspiracy to dethrone
him.
The cousin, Quintianus, how-
ever, realized that a mere de-
throning would do no good. He
resolved therefore, to assassin-
ate Commodus when next the
Emperor went to the chariot
races,
Unfortunately, Quintianus,
having drawn his sword, paused
long enough to shout, "The
Senate sends you this!" with the
result that the Emperor's
guards rushed at the assassin,
overpowered him, and saved the
Emperor's life,
The outcome was not only
that Lucilla, Quintianus and
Lucilla's stepson were executed,
but that Commodus's wife was
banished to Capri, and there
strangled to death, by her hus-
' bin's orders.

Now, with every key pos-
ition held by an underling of
the Emperor, Rome was truly
the prey of a madman.
Panic-striken by his suspic-
ions of all but his intimate com-
panions in vice, Commodus dec-
imated the ranks of the senate
by almost daily executions for

Perennis was, as might have
been expected, far more treas-
onable than any senator who
had been beheaded for "high
treason"; but Perennis was bid-
ing his time, until he could
plunder the empire of a fortune
for himself and his two ambit-
ious sons.
In the meanwhile, the Em-
peror's love of racing had so
crazed him that nothing would
please him but that he must
ride in the races himself, back-
ing his "colours" with sums equ-
ivalent, by to -day's values, to
millions of pounds. Soon the
imperial treasury was empty.
Perennis, who had left his
plans too late, had fallen under
suspicion, and had been sum-
marily executed. Ills exalted

sition was now taken by a Greek
been an errand boy in a house
of ill -fame, and with the pass-
ing of the empire into the_hands
of the money -mad, unscrupul-
ous Greek, what little of sanity
that had remained in public
life completely disappeared.
As the treasury was now ex-
hausted, and both Cleander and
Commodus. needed money for
their particular purposes, Clean -
der started off by selling pos-
itions and other benefits for
enormous sums, in the course of
which he amassed a fabulous
fortune.
Some of this money, but only
a relatively small part, he Iui i-
ded back to Commodus to de-
fray the vast expenses of the
Emperor's harem, gambling
losses and army of corrupt
hangers-on, He encouraged
Commodus to go chariot racing,
so as to be free to pursue his
own plans, but both Cleander
and the Emperor made the
great mistake of failing to pay
the Guard.
In a Rome so deprived of
common decency as Commodus
and his companions had made
it, it is not to be expected that
the unpaid Guard were going
to show any scruples. They
promptly engineered a hold-up
in the corn supply, fanned pop-
ular feeling against Cleander,
whom they blamed for the fam-
ine, and organized a riot In the
arena, even as Commodus, as
usual, was winning a chariot
race (the other competitors
knew it never paid to win!)
Commodus hurridly withdrew
to one of his villas, and the mob
poured out of Rome on his tail.
They found their Emperor cow-
ering in terror, only too happy
to save his life by ordering the
the instant execution of his
favourite, Cleander, when the
leaders of the mob demanded,
it.
Commodus lasted for a short
while longer, but his end came
when he decided to celebrate the
eight ahniversay of his accession
to the, imperial throne, not in a
solemn traditional ceremony
but in a personal appearance as
charioteer.
Warned by the howl of pop-
ular fury that the announce-
ment of the Emperor's plans
aroused, his mistress, Marcia, and
two others determined to gain
favour with the mob by killing
Commodus, The gave him
poison—and when that had no
effect they paid Narcissus, one
of his favourite athletes, to
themselves masters of Rome and
murder him and make them-
selves masters of Rome and
masters of the world,
The Eternal City had had
some shocks in her long history
but never had it such a shock
as when on morning the tramp
of armed men sounded in the
streets and the Romans watch-
ed the Guard, brave in scarlet
cloth and steel and bronze ar-
mour, march in ordinary pro-
cession to the Forum, traditional
centre. of Rome.
There they saw the Praet-
orian Guard form up in a
square, and their Prefect or
General, mount the rostrum out-
side the Temple of Castor and
Pollux.
He had only a short announce-
ment to make—but it was one
of unprecedented importance to
his astounded audience.
Since the Guards' wages were
in arrears, he explained, and
there was now no Emperor to
pay them, the vacant office of
Emperor was being put up for
auction.
"Well, citizens of Rome, what
am I bid for Rome . , . for the
entire civilized world , . . ?"
The Guard stood firm; and so
did their Prefect.
And then, as though the pre-
posterous offer had not been
startling enough, the next par-
alysing shock came,
If the Prefect and his men
were in deadly earnest . , , so
were two ambitious senators.
The bewildered, scandalized
Romans had the incredible ex-
perience of seeing two men
actually bidding for Rome—for
what was then the known
world.
At sunset, Rome was knocked
down by the auctioneer to Sen-
ator Marcus Julianus. His rival
counld not top his bid of
$1,500,000,000; and, that night, a
new Emperor slept in the
purple -hung apartments on the
Capitoline Hill. But not for
long...

Canada's Toy Fair
While New York and London,
for many years, have been lead-
ing centres for toy fairs, Mont-
real . is now sharing the spot-
light with them, This spring the
16th annual Canadian Toy. Fair,
was held in Montreal — an event
which is becoming of world-
wide interest.
Many new toys made an ap-
pearance at the Montreal fair
but those made of the flexible
plastic, polythene, were of
special interest.
This versatile plastic appeared
in many forms: from a little
doll's bath with its own taps, to
a model freight train complete
with streamlined diesel engine,
tankcar, boxcar and caboose,
Different from the hard plas-
tics which crack and break quite
easily, polythene is light, soft
and flexible and can be jumped
on, thrown about and generally
maltreated for a long time with-
out crying for help.
This indestructible qua 1 i t y
has made It a particular favor -
It* for the small fry who have
tendency to chew, throw and
bang almost everything they can
get their hands on.
Mothers will appreciate the
addition (if polythene toy blocks
to the nursery, for when "Lon-
don bridge comes tumbling
down" a gentle rumble will re-
place the usual "earth -quake",
A new type of polythene build-
ing link which originated in
Scandinavia was displayed at
the toy fair. Now being produc-
ed in Canada, these interlocking
links can be put together to
form various shapes such as
buildings or even a robot.
The variety of toys displayed
at the fair indicates how far the
toy industry has progressed
since the days when toy making
was a craftsman's leisurly vo-
cation, Keeping our children
amused with toys is a big busi-
ness today and more and more
people are becoming concerned
with it.

Department Store
Mis-Happenings
Today the department store
is truly big business. The profits
are in pennies, but the volume
is there. And most of the in-
come, according to the late Fred
Allen, derives from the eleva-
tor operators. If the public
could understand what the ele-
vator operator calls out, there
would be an orderly buying
process every day. But because
the shoppers can't decipher the
tonsil thumping of the opera-
tor, they always get off at the
wrong floor, become confused,
wander about for hours, buying
many items they otherwise did
not intend to.
The New Yorker in that
breezy column, The Talk of the
Town, told of the salesgirl in
Macy's basement who was ap-
proached by a middle-aged lady
who sought a knife box. "It's
over there by Post G-8," said
the salesgirl.
"Sure of that?" the lady ask-
ed. "I've already been mis-
directed three times."
"I'm so sure that if you don't
And them there, you can come
back and kick me."
The customer returned a few
minutes later. "They're nearer
G-7. Bend over." The girl bent,
Walter Kiernan, the Celtic
connisseur of comedy, spouted
over WJZ about a customer in
a Copenhagen department store
who complained to the manage-
ment that the attendant in the
ladies' retiring room had given
her the icy stare when she fail-
ed to leave a generous tip.
"Why, we have no attendant
in the ladies' room," said the
manager.
A check revealed that the
"attendant" was a woman who
had wandered in for a rest a
year ago. While relaxing with
her knitting the woman had re-
ceived coins from patrons who
thought she was the attendant,
Recognizing opportunity when
It knocked, the woman had
come in regularly ever since,
netting while she knitted.
Yes, anything can happen in
a department store.

acting the role of Santa Claus
in a department store, The film
was "Life Begins at 8:30." San-
ta had been taking an odd snift-
er or two and he gave out with
a he-man's belch. One woman
was horrified. Seeing her re-
action, Woolley Leaned forward
and said, "What did you expect,
Madam, chimes?"

The man gazed rapturously at
the jewelry counter in the de-
partment store.
Then he spoke to the clerk.
"Whose diamonds are really
beautiful, aren't they? I'd like to
smother my wife in diamonds."
The beatific smile left his face
when the clerk answered. "That
would cost a lot of money.
There must be a cheaper way,
air."
"You're a good skater. Where
did you learn?"
"It was easy really. I was
fairly confident after three sit-
tings."

TABLE TALKS
Hamburger has taken first
place as the most favored out.
door -cooking food during the
last few years. There are dozens
of ways to prepare it and each
way has its own ardent cham-
pions.
Before cooking it, be sure you
have bought the best product.
Buy freshly ground meat and
store it, lightly covered with
waxed paper, in the coldest part
of your refrigerator. Use it with-
in two days after buying it. If
you want to have it especially
ground, buy chuck, round, flank,
plate, brisket, shank or neck
meat. If it's very lean, add 2
ounces of fat per pound of meat.
• • •
If you're serving hamburgers
at table, try this added touch
for better flavor. When ham-
burgers are cooked, remove from
pan. Add to pan 2 tablespoons
butter, I tablespoon Worcester-
shire sauce or catsup. Stir. Pour
over hot hamburgers, writes
Eleanor Richey Johnston in The
Christian Science Monitor.
When hamburgers are broiled,
spread with one of the following
ingredients mixed with 2 table-
spoons butter: 2 tablespoons
Wo-cestershire sauce, 1 t'b'spoon
prepared mustard, 2 tablespoons
blue cheese, 2 tablespoons chop-
ped chives, or 2 tablespoons cat-
sup with 1 teaspoon prepared
mustard. For a party, have small

TOUGH CUSTOMER
In Wauwatosa, Wis., Mrs. Joan
Buge, 50, was fined $35 for neg-
ligent operation of a car and
$15 for disorderly conduct after
she drove away from an acci-
dent scene, fled from the police
station as she was being booked,
was fished out of a drugstore
phone booth two blocks away,
leaped out of a squad car on the
way to the county jail when it
stopped at a railroad crossing,
lay down on the tracks until
three patrolmen got her back
in the car, clung to the side of
the car at the jail, had to be
carried bodily inside by six of-
ficers.
The customer was quite even -
toned in his protest, "I can't eat
this soup."
The waitress hurried to the
manager who called the res-
tarant's dietician, "Why can't
you eat the soup? It's specially
prepared with a due regard for
vitaminic content."
The goof smiled. "I haven't
any spoon."
Drive Your Way Out Of An Accident
By AL ESPER, Chief Test
Driver, Ford Motor Company
An emergency on the road
boils down to this --you're in a
tight spot, and you've got to get
out, It doesn't make any differ-
ence if you're a test driver like I
me or a typical motorist out for
a Sunday drive, In both cases
you've been very careful tfnd
have been following the rules of
the road. But something has gone
wrong with your earl Or an-
other motorist has ignored the
rulesl That's when it really pays
to know how to drive your way
out of an accident.
Calmness is the most impor-
tant factor'—then thinking and
acting quickly. I've outlined five
emergency situations. Go over
them several times so that when
you get in a tight spot, you will
automatically do the correct
thing.
1. 11 You Have A Blowout.
Above all, keep firm control of
the steering wheel. Don't slam
on your brakes or you will roll
your car over. Keep the car
going in a straight line and let
up gradually on the accelerator
so as not to jerk the car out of
control. When the car has slowed
down, apply your brakes gently.
Pull all the way off the road to
make necessary repairs,
2. If Your Brakes Give Out.
This happens very rarely, most
often on older cars, and on hills
and inclines is always dangerous.
First, slowly pump the brakes
up and down. You want to give
them a chance, to function.
Simultaneously, apply your
emergency brakes. If at all pos-
sible, shift into a lower gear,
When you have full control, pull
over to the side of the road to
avoid collision with other ve-
hicles. As an additional help in
stopping your car, you may pull
onto the shoulder of the road,
into a shallow ditch or run over
or through some obstacle.
3. If Your Car Skids. Do not
brake or accelerate or you will
make the skid worse, If the rear
end of your car skids. to the
left, turn your steering wheel to
the left. If to the right, turn to
the right. Always turn in the
direction of the skid to recover
control of your car. To prevent
a new skid ease your foot off
the gas pedal and then pump
your brakes gently.
4. If A Car Cuts You 011 From
The Right At An Intersection,
Apply your brakes although you
might not be able to stop in
time. Swerve as gently as pos-
sible to the right and pass around
the rear of the other car. This
maneuver will give it more time
and distance to get out of your
way, When it has passed you,
recover from your swerve and
continue as before,
Salesmanship
Bob Hope the renowned
cigarette salesman, revealed,
"Today my heart beat 103,389
times. My blood trovelcd 108,-
000,000 miles. I breathed 23,-
040times. 1 inhaled 430 cubic
feet of air. I moved 750 major
muscles and exercised 7,000,•
000 brain cells. Gosh, Pm tired."
What makes Hope a good
salesman, whether he handles
soap or •cigarettes, is his Josh
Billings awareness that, anato-
mically speaking, laughing is
the sensation of feeling good all
over and showing it principally
in one spot.
Laughter will sell your pro-
duct. Most of the prospects are
suckers for a good story or
shop -talk qulpperies.
If the salesman carries a good
stock of laugh makers he's on
the right road for a sale, Oc-
casionally he'll encounter that
sour -visaged prospect who looks
as if he had just taken his head
out of the sauerkraut barrel, He
defies you to make him laugh.
For him you might have to
draw a picture.
A bicycle salesman met such
dour resistance from a dairy
farmer. "I'd rather buy a cow
than a bicycle," said Silas.
"But you'd look silly riding
a cow," persisted the salesman.
"No more than I would if I
tried to milk a bicycle."
So our bicycle boy changed
his product. He now was sell-
ing milking machines. He stop-
ped off at a farmhouse where
there was only one cow. And
the farmer, 'definitely, was not
at all interested in time -saving
machinery. But he would glad-
ly witness the demonstration.
Then his eyes bulged at the
wonders of science, "That sure
is some device, Mister. I'd sure
like to have one of those ma-
chines, but, shucks, I don't
have any money and don't even
know where I could borrow
any."
He looked longingly at the
machine. A gleam came to his
eye. "Tell yer what I'm a-willin'
b do, Mister, I'll let you take
the cow for a down payment."
ON STRIKE — Pickets of the United Steelworkers took their posts
at the main entrance of the U.S. Steel's South Works in Chicago
during the first day of strike. The huge plant, one of the largest
in the world, is idle except for a few maintenance workers on
duty. The furnaces have been cooled, and the men left their
jobs in orderly fashion.
DEATH IN AN ATTIC - Policemen in Lawrence, Moss., fired shots and tear gas into an attic in
order to flush out two holdup men. Tho thieves tried to rob the manager of a jewelry store
and fled to this building to hide from the police. After an hour-long gun fight, the policemen
pot into the Ethic uni found the two men hod killed themselves in an evident suicide pact.
THLFMMFRONT
It is generally known that
young fresh pasture grass has
a higher feeding value than the
same grass at a later stage of
its growth, D. H. Heinrichs re-
ports that an experiment at the
Canada Department of Agricul-
ture Experimental Farm indi-
cates there is a marked dif-
ference between tI)e protein
content of various grasses and
that this difference increases
with progressive stages of growth
and maturity,
• • *
The protein content of Fair-
way crested wheatgrass, Sum-
' mit crested wheatgrass, brome
grass, intermediate wheatgrass
and Russian wild ryegrass was
quite similar in May, at the
early leaf stage, varying from
a low of 20,1 per cent for Fair-
way to a high of 21,3 for inter-
mediate wheatgrass. At the
shot -blade stage differences be-
gan to show up. Brome grass
had 17.1 per cent protein, Rus-
sian wild ryegrass 10.4, the
Fairway and Summit wheat -
grasses 14.2 and 14.8 respective-
lyand intermediate wheatgrass
11.7,
• • •
At the flowering stage the
relative differences were even
greater. Brome and Russian
wild ryegrass had dropped to
10.4 and 11.5 per cent. but the
wheatgrasses were down to 6.6,
This indicates that for good
quality hay the wheat grasses
need to be cut well ahead of
the flowering stage.
• • •
By August and later, Russian
wild ryegrass is well above
any of the other four grasses
in protein content and contains
7.1 per cent even when left
standing until the following
spring, Fairway crested wheat -
grass under the same conditions
drops to 3.4 per cent.
• • •
• 'In carbohydrate and fat con-
tent, these grasses differ less
widely but Russian wild rye-
grass and brome grass are less
fibrous and more palatable to
grazing stock later in the sea-
son than the wheatgrasses.
• • •
From the pasture manage-
ment standpoint, crested wheat -
grass will supply good early
spring grazing, intermediate
wheatgrass and brome grass
good summer grazing and Rus-
sian wild 'ryegrass, which re-
tains a high nutritive value at
maturity, will provide the best
pasture for late summer and
fall.
• ••
Measurements made at the
Canada Department of Agricul-
ture Soil Research Laboratory,
over a 4 -year period have
shown that •when ample mois-

• ture is available the daily use
of water by a short grass crop
is nearly equal to the daily eva-
poration from a standard eva-
poration tank. The evaporation
varies from almost nil during
cool, cloudy weather to over
one-third inch on hot windy
days. The mean daily evapora-
tion Is 0.2 inch in June and Au-
gust and 0.25 inch in July. Con-
sidering the main growing
period for May to September
inclusive, the total water re-
quired for evaporation is about
28.5 inches, of which 9.5 inches
is supplied by rainfall during
the same period. To produce
optimum growth of grass, addi-
tional moisture must be avail-
able either as stored moisture
or as irrigation.
• * •
The amount of stored moisture
in the soil in early spring de-
pends on the precipitation dur-
ing the fall and winter, and on
the capacity of the soil to hold
water within reach of the grass
roots. Sandy loams can hold
1.25 inches of available water
per foot of depth; medium
loams can hold 1,75 inches and
clays about 2.25 inches of water
per foot. The depth of penetra-
tion of grass roots depends on
the rooting habit of the parti-
cular crop, and on the thick-
ness, height and development
of the stand. Lawn grass roots
are confined mainly to the top
6 to 8 inches whereas those of
pasture and forage crops may
penetrate to a depth of 3 or 4
feet. In the latter case, the
available water 'held in the root
zone of a medium loam would
be about 6 inches,
• * •
In many seasons rainfall and
stored moisture provide about
half the water required by a
well -kept ,turf, and supplemen-
tal irrigation must be applied if
growth is to continue through
July and August. Irrigation is
usually started on pasture and
forage when 50 or 60 per cent.
of the available moisture is
depleted. Evaporation losses are
high if water is added in fre-
quent light applications. On the
other hand, heavy applications
causing runoff or loss of water
below the root zone should be
avoided. A grass grown for pas-
ture or forage on a loam soil
with a water use of 0.2 inch per
day should receive 3 inches of
water either as rain or irriga-
tion every 15 days, On lawns it
would be more economical to
apply one inch of water every
5 or 6 days than to apply the
same amount of water at more
frequent intervals. If a sprink-
ler is used it is a good idea
to check the rate of application
with a series of simple rain
gauges, or in the case of lawns,
to read the water meter and .
work out the mean depth of
water on the area covered by
the spray.

Smuggled Drugs In Camel's Hair
The British police officer as-
sisting the Egyptian Govern-
ment in its efforts to curb drug
tragic was very puzzled. Some-
how, in spite of every vigilance,
large quantities of hashish, mor-
phine and heroin from Egypt
were reaching Casablanca and
Tangier. How was this deadly
drug being smuggled out?
For weeks the answer evaded
him. Then he was struck by a
most singular fact. The price of
camels i• Egypt had suddenly
risen • to unwarranted heights.
Investigating further, the Brit-
ish officer discovered that cam-
els being used to cross the Sa-
hara from Egypt to Tangier and
Casablanca were only making a
one-way journey. They never
came back!
A few more inquiries supplied
the answer; metal capsules con-
taining the drugs were fed to
the camels before leaving Egypt
and lodged in the creatures' stor-
age compartments. On reaching
Tangier and Casablanca, the un-'
lucky camels were killed and the
capsules recovered. Each camel
had been carrying up to $15,000
worth of narcotics,
After the ingenious dope
smugglers had been rounded up,
the officer wrote a report for the
the United Nations Commission
on Narcotics so that it could
warn all member nations to be
on their guard against this re-
sourceful ruse.
Instruments used by police in
desert countries to - day t o
"search" camels for narcotics
include mine detectors a n d
fluoroscopes with which police
and customs officers can search
inside the animals.
The international list of known
dope smugglers and their tricks
is one of the biggest and most
effective weapons used by the
world's nations in their battle
to stamp out the deadly narcot-
ics,
Recently, American narcotic
agents smashed a large smug-
glin ring which had been bring-
ing opiurn into California from
Mexico. The smugglers packed
the opium in large tins labelled
"Tomato Puree" and took it
openly across the Mexican -U.S.
border in motor lorries.
Each load had several genuine
tins of puree which could be
opened for inspection if neces-
sary. An alert customs official
noticed that the puree he inspec-
ted wasn't fresh enough and ask-
ed awkward questions which
led to arrests.
For eighteen months wardens
in a Canadian jail tried to stop
morphine being smuggled in:
every safeguard was apparently
taken, but still the addicts in the
prison managed to get their sup-
plies. The loophole wasn't spot-
ted until one prisoner made too
great a fuss because his shirt
had not come - back from the
laundry outside the jail,
The morphine had been coin•
ing into the prison ironed into
the collars of newly -laundered
shirts. I' 'ch collar had a week's
supply of the drug which addicts
sniff. •
Much recent smuggling has
been of hashish and its kindred
drug, marijuana. Also known as
Indian hemp, hashish is extract-
ed from the Indian hemp plant.
Marijuana ("Devil's Weed") is
derived from n South American
plant.
Smugglers have racked their
brains to find new ways of get-
ting hashish and marijuana past
vigilant customs and police -
and very often failed. Yet,
ironically, prisoners in the strict-
est supervised jail in America,
the grim Alcatraz island prison
of San Francisco, were only too
obviously getting liberal suppl-
les of hashish. Moreover, they
were getting it quite openly and
with the unconscious help of
the governor and warders.
The prisoners had been keep-
ing canaries, Some of them be-
gan smoking the bird -seed as a
substitute for tobacco and dis-
covered that it contained the
seed of Indian hemp. It was not
until canary -keeping had grown
astonishingly popular that war-
ders asked themselves why the
birds were half -starving and
the prisoners fighting mad.
Not even the slickest and
neatest smuggling coup is proof
against a slice of bad luck. A
big American ring had worked
an elaborate plan to land $1,-
500,000 worth of narcotics, main-
ly hashish and heroin, in an
American port. An important
part of the scheme involved the
reproduction of a municipal
dust -cart into which the parcels
were to be thrown, hidden in
garbage. Unhappily for the
smugglers, a genuine dust -cart
was on the wharf and the smug-
glers threw their drugs into it
and the plot was uncovered.
Shortly before this huge haul
Boston customs officials seized
$75,000 worth of opium on a
ship in the barbour. It had been
hidden in flour bags.
Sources of supply for hashish
were originally in the Middle
East, but more recently it has
been cultivated in the New
World: Jamaica, Mexico and
isolated parts of the United
States.
Mexican and U.S. anti -narco-
tics agents were unable for a
time to find out where the hemp
was being cultivated until they
turned up the international list
of methods of concealment used
and came upon the name of -
Russell Pasha.
Russell Pasha was the British -
born director of the Narcotics
Bureau in Egypt before the war.
.0ne of his first actions was to
ban the growing of poppies from
which opium is extracted. From
opium is derived other drugs
such as laudanum, heroin and
morphine.
In spite of no visible splashes
of white and mauve poppies
along the banks of the Nile, the
supplies of opium and other
drugs remained undiminished.
Staring at the innocent -looking
crops of wheat and other cereals,
Russell Pasha got a hunch.
He chartered a 'plane and
flew up and down the Nile and
soon spotted large patches of
flowering ,poppies hidden in the
middle of the taller crops.
After reading Russell Pasha's
report in the file, U.S. and Mex-
ican agents took to the air and
were soon destroying large
hemp crops in Louisiana and in
Mexico, And to bring it full
circle to Russell Pasha again -
In the high mountains of Mex-
ico they found secret poppy
fields!
Addicts pay big prices for il-
licit drugs. .A British witness a
few years ago told the world
Expert Committee on Addic-
tion -Producing Drugs that one
laudanum addict had paid a
peddler $7,500 for a single
ounce. This was an exceptional
price paid by a man in the
power of the drug.
But heroin sometimes changes
hands at $100 an ounce in Lon-
don's underworld. Cigarettes of
marijuana, called "reefers," are
sold 2s. 6d, to 15s. each in the
West End,
Prices are higher in America,
where drug addicts are esti-
mated to number 60,000 (Brit-
ish estimates ' are .4,000 at most)
and where the illegal traffic
amounts to more than $500,000,-
000 a year. Heroin sells in the
U.S. underworld for $100 an
ounce. Drugs are claimed to be
responsible for half the crime
in U.S. 'cities.
Spurred by the huge profits
to be made in this evil traffic,
smugglers will continually think
up new smart smuggling gim-
micks. But fortunately all such
gimmicks are short-lived,
THE END
The three polar bears were
sitting on an iceberg.
"Now," said Papa Bear, "I've
got a tale to tell."
"I, too," said Mama Bear, "I,
too, have a tale to tell."
The lttle polar bear, sitting
on his part of the iceberg, look-
ed at his parents and said, "My
tail's told."

your care upon him; for lie caretb
for you. 1 Peter 5:7.
Everyone has a Measure of auf•
tering during his lifetime, One
lady I visited was very bitter about
her suffering. As she lay on het
bed year after year and watched
others walk by her window she
complained, "It isn't cricket." Ilei
attitude aggravated her suffering.
It made it more difficult for the
others in the house, too,
My next call was a lady dying
with cancer. Strong drugs were
given her to dull the pain. ihit her
attitude was so different, She was
thankful that years ago she had
surrendered her life to Jesus Christ.
She was trusting in Ilius now. She
was thankful for friends nod a1I
God's goodness.
Why the difference? The one was
concentrating her thought upon her-
self and her illness. She looked at
God only to accuse illus, The other,
though suffering More tuteasely,
had confidence in God's goodness
just as she had when she,.w.ns well
The experience was a trial' -of her
faith. She was true In the trial.
There are other forms of suf-
fering, too. Merida! unfaithfulness
and children's selfishness will
cause severe heartache. Neighbours
may "tbink 1t strange that ye run
not with them to the same excess
of riot speaking evil of you." But
Peter said, "If any man stiffer as a
Christian, let him not, be asham•
ed; but let him glorify God on this
behalf." He also said, "If ye Buffet
for righteousness' sake, happy aro
yell
If we llve by the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ we can be trl•
umpbant in suffering. Such a vie-
torlous life is a witness to others.
Some, when afflicted, have decided
in a passive sort of manner, to
make the best of it. One lady latet
determined to slake the most of It
She began a telephone ministry,
She called the sick and those V

voice gave them a message of com-
fort from the Bible. She .helped t•

TRAPPED FOR NINE DAYS - Jean Maladetts, 18, of Sunnyvale,
Calif., is comforted by her motile?, Mrs. Lawrence Margeets, of
General Hospital in Salt Lake Cit, Utah. Miss Margetts had just
been rescued from the wreckage of an auto where she had been
trapped nine days without food or water. Her fiance, James B.
Nixon, Jr., 22, was found dead about 15 feet from the car.
CHalCAL WARFARE ON WEEDS AND BRUSH has been declared by Canadian railways. I .. re
we see a special spray train applying a chemical weedkiller (Atlacide) on a stretch of CPR road
bed. Brush flanking railway rights of way is killed with another chemical -a mixture of 2,4-D
and 2,4,5 -T -from powerful, long range nozzles mounted on top the spray car. Some 12,000
miles of weed -infested track from Newfoundland to British Columbia will be sprayed by 11
spray trains this summer and more than 1,000,000 gallons of chemical solutions will be used.
The spraying replaces the ancient time-consuming and expensive sythe-and-hos method of
weed control.
