Series Filth Game Goes
To Lucknow 3-0 Score
As of this writing, Tuesday evening,
the Lucknow Legionairres are hotly
contesting the semi final round with
the Blyth Legionairres, but all that may
have changed by the time you read
this.
Kith leads Lucknow 3 ;antes to 2
I and a win for Blyth on the Blyth dia-
mond Wednesdlay night, could wrap
up the series. On the other hand,
should Lucknow win, the series will be
tied, and a 7th game necessary.
Your scribe was among the rootin',
tootitt' Blyth fans present at Lucknow
last Friday night to see the Legion -
aims fashion a tidy 8 to 6 victory to
tnku a 3-1 lead in the series.
On Monday night Lucknow fought
their way right back into contention
. by taking the fifth game 3 to 0, This
game was also at Lucknow.
Last Friday night's game was a hum-
dinger, and Blvth fans had plenty to
cheer about as the Legionairres got
away on top and were never headed.
Lucknow did make it cosy in the last
of the ninth when they scored three
of their 6 runs, had a man on second,
and the tieing run al the plate before
the last out was made. On another
!occasion Lucknow had the bases load-
ed with nobody out. Carman Mac -
IDonald proved his mettle by striking
the next two men out, and forcing the
next batter to fly out to Ken Patter-
son in centre field.
The Legionairres mafle short wor'
of Grant Chisholm who started on the
mound for Lucknow. Grant - was re-
lieved of his chores in the second in-
ning. On the other hand Cannan
alaclimold pitched stipvrbly for the
Legi.nairres,
h'oante moss were d.v'dcd. B b
Carter getting one for Blyth, and Grant
Chisholm tagging one fon' Lucknow.
On Mondry night, in another c!o:e
game, Lucknow bested Blyth 3 to 0.
Ed. Watson started on the mound for
Blyth and was relieved by MacDonald
in the second inning. Grant Chishnlm
went the distance for i.,ucknow.
According to reports the L2cionairres
were again tagging Chisholm hard, but
driving right to the :nanr,s of tha
Lucknow players. This may be a bias-
ed version, and no doubt Lucknow
fans would argue the point.

GUILTY OIt N0'1' '
The sports scribe of the Lucknow
Sentinel carried the following para-
graph in his write-up, of one of the
games last week:
"Half a dozen of Blyth's loud mouth
fins" were at the game and were
throwh;g the dirtiest and most 'person-
al remarks at players that this tenon
has ever run into. There seems to be
that small group of Blyth supporters
who give the town and team more of
a set'baek than support, ht the eyes of
visiting ball teams."
The Standard scribe went along
to the game Friday night when a
goodly number of Blyth supporters
were again present. We must in all
loyalty say that they conducted them-
selves In good sportsmanlike manner,
Certainly, whooping it up for one's
cam cannot be condemned, but there
are time:, when the opportunity avails
itself for fans to he particularly cut-
!ing and personal. The Lucknow ros-
'er presents this opportunity, and if we
can read between the lines of the
Lucl:now paragraph we cannot fail to
etch the implication, Certainly such
-marks are never in good taste, sports -
vise, or otherwise, unless there is jus.
Zee tion.

'TABLE TALKS date
The regular conductor of this
column Is away on well-earned
and — we hope — well • en joy -
ed holidays. However, from her
hideaway she sends us this clip-
ping about how to make apple -
butter And It sounds like REAL
apple -butter.
Which remind:, us that we
haven't tasted any of THAT
dace before Hickory Jim was
weaned,
* * *
This morning I came in from
the orchard with a half -bushel
of Wealthy windfalls.
I knew where to lay my hands
on grandmother's recipe for ap-
ple butter and eagerly I read
again the words written on
lined paper in her clear, firm
hand.
"Wash the apples In cold well
water," the recipe began.
The chromium faucet had to
assist me there, and 'although
the water had a distinct chlor-
ine flavor, I plunged the apples
into it.
"Cut the apples into quarters.
(Do not take time to cut out
seeds, blossoms ends, or stems.
They will not go through the
eolander.)"
The parentheses are hers —
pure Dutch thrift, even to the
saving of a minute.
I patiently quartered the ap-
ples with one eye on the recipe.
It has been in use in our fam-
ily since the fall of 1856, two
years after grandmother came
down the Ohio and up the Mis-
sissippi by the river boat to
Minnesota.
The cold well water grand-
mother advised came from the
well grandfather dug soon after
he had selected his farm site.
Again I glanced at the recipe.
"When the apples are ready,
put them in a large iron kettle
and cook them until they are
soft."
How many hours would that
have taken on grandmother's
wood cook stove, I wondered.
In twenty minutes the two large
aluminum kettels were steam-
ing on my electric stove, giving
off that pungent aroma of apple
sweetness that is matched by no
other fruit.
The members of the family
began to drift in toward the
kitchen.
"Um -m -m, applesauce," they
said. I smiled but said nothing.
I was looking at the recipe.
"Ladle the apples into a colan-
der and work through with po-
tato masher."
I remember that potato mash-
er as on of my first toys. It
would roll, it could be used to
hake a loud noise banged on
the floor, and it was smooth to
lite on. Grandfather had made
it and years of use had given
I a satiny smoothness. I don't
lave the potato masher but I
to have a food mill. How grand-
nother would have loved my
hod mill: five or six turns of
the handle and the sieving is
done.
"Measure the fruit pulp with
a china cup and add about two-
thirds cup sugar for each cup of
fruit, Taste for sweetness," the
recipe continued.
I knew what that tasting
meant. Grandmother had a
sweet tooth and I could still re-
member the fun I used to have
when I foraged her voluminus
apron for the inevitable pink
and white peppermint drops.
"Now add spices, cinnamon,
cloves, and allspice, a little of
each "
Grandmother was a born cook
and "a little of each" was as
accurate to her as the carefully
measured amount in my bright-
ly colored plastic spoon.
But after the direction about
the spices, I saw another famil-
iar handwriting — my mother's.
She, too, had used grandmoth-
er's recipe and I had helpfully
inserted these words: "11/2 tea-
spoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon
allspice, 1 teaspon cloves tor
6 cues fruit." I took mother's
advice,
Tho butter began to smell de-
licious then, and the family
came running this time, Again
their ejaculations, "Um -m -m,
apple butter, can't we have a
taste right now?"
But I merely beamed on them
and kept stirring to prevent the
precious mixture from even a
suggestion of scorching,
At last it was done, when 1
dipped a• wooden spoon and
brought up the shining dark-
ness, it heaped upon the spoon.
I turned again to grandmoth-
er's writing,
"When the butter is thick,
ladle into stone crocks, cover
with wax, and set in the milk
safe in the root cellar."
I looked over to the pantry
shelf at my fovorite containers;
stone jars from London, a mar-
malade pot from Dundee, and a
number of brown pottery jars
that once held store jam,
I ladeled some of the butter
into these and the remainder
into prosiac glass jars with tin
covers, After I had them la-
beled, "Apple Butter, Wealthies,
August, 1956," I glanced at the
recipe for a final look, At the
bottom was a notation in my
own handwriting.
"Do not use until after
Thanksgiving; by that time it
will taste its best."
I suppose I really believed
that when first I wrote it, but I
have come to know that time
has little effect on the taste, It
is good butter any time because
the recipe is good, put together
by a good cook a hundred years
ago.
A scientific gentleman when
explaining the term 'relative
humidity' stated that only the
other night he had been very
conscious of its meaning when
nursing his infant niece on his
lap!

Canada And The.
Salk Vaccine
In the great wave of publicity
that hit the world concerning
the _development of the now -
famous Salk polio vaccine, the
part played by Canadian scien-
tists caused not a ripple. Even
today, more than two years af-
ter the dramatic report that
proved the vaccine a success, it
is not generally known that a
considerable part of the whole
program depended upon workers
in, and the facilities of, the Uni=
versity of Toronto's Connaught
Medical Research Laboratories.
As a matter of fact, the Con-
naught labs not only manufac-
tured all the vaccine used in
Canada up until recently, but
they also provided all the polio
virus culture used to make vac-
cine for the history -making 1954
trials of half a million American,
Canadia_1 and Finnish children.
Not only that, but the chemical
solution used then and still used,
in which to, grow monkey liver
tissue necessary for the vaccine,
was developed by a Connaught
researcher supported by funds
provided by the Canadian pub-
lic.
The Connaught Laboratories,
named after the Duke of Con-
naught, (Canada's Governor Gen-
eral when the first buildings
were officially opened in 1917)
consists of thirty-two buildings
located in Toronto, and north of
the city at the famous "farm".
The Connaught had its real
beginning in 1914 when Dr. J.
G. FitzGerald, a crusading, hard-
working young U. of T. gradu-
ate, borrowed enough money to
buy a barn and five broken-
down horses with which to make
diptheria anti -toxin, which up
to then had cost from $20 to $80
a treatment, "right here in Can-
ada and cheap enough so that
provincial governments could
buy it and distribute it free of
charge".
Since that time, this combin-
ation pharmaceutical ho us e,
school of hygiene and research
center, has saved Canadians mil-
lions of dollars by providing, at
prices much below those in the
U.S., medications for diphtheria,
tetanus, rabies, typhoid, measles;
glandular products for the treat-
ment of pernicious anaemia, Ad-
dison's disease, arthritis; peni-
cIllin; processed human blood
and blood fractions; most of
country's veterinarian supplies
and insulin.
Connaught researchers, under
the leadership of Dr. A. J.
Rhodes had been working on the
polio problem for 6 years. When
gamma globulin was heralded
as an immunity factor for polio
a few years ago, Connaught pre-
pared hundreds of pounds of
ent, Unfortunately, this proved
to be another scientific blind
alley as the immunity provided
was only tetmporary.
But science was hot on the
trail of the killer, with scientists
all over the world working on
the problem of isolating the
virus and growing it outside the
body. If this could be done the
virus could then be killed and
made into a serum that would
stimulate the body to build up its
own immunity against the dis-
ease. The, picture began to clari-
fy in 1949 when Dr. John Enders
of Harvard succeeded in grow-
ing polio virus in human embry-
onic tissue in a horse blood
serum, Previously other work-
ers had grown the virus in ani-
mal nerve tissues, but a vac-
cine made in this way can cause
a brain condition which is far
worse than polio.
Horse serum, however, was
not satisfactory either, because
it contained other factors that
were impossible to control, What
was needed was a medium in
which polio virus would grow
and multiply by the millions but
which contained no serum from
an anima — a purely synthetic,
life -supporting serum.
And this is where the inter-
dependence of scientists becomes
apparent,
-Working away in a small lab
at the back of the School of
Hygiene building on College
Street in Toronto (part of the
Connaught Lab) was a team of
researchers under the leader-
ship of a lively little man with
a bald head, cookie mustache and
a weakness for bow ties — Dr.
Raymond Parker.
For five years Parker had
been trying to do something that
no other scientist anywhere had
ever been able to accomplish —
produce a synthetic medium in
which body cells would grow and
multipl; indefinitely, Parker
c1 scribes the ' problem this way
. "In all animal serum there
factors of heredity, immun-
ity and so on that. we cannot
' control. We wanted.,to tome up
with a chemical ,compound that
would do the :time work as horse
serum but which would contain
only the chemicals 'we put into
it"
,
Parker's work had nothing to
do ,with polio. It is, in fact, sup-
ported to the tune of $25,000 per
year by the National Cancer In-
stitute of Canada, a volunteer
organization of medical men and'
others which suports nearly all
cancer research in Canada. And
the bulk of this money comes
right out of the pockets of John
Public during the annual cam-
paign of the Canadian Cancer
Society.
The method of the Parker
I team was simply to keep mixing
different chemicals together,
grow mouse cells in them and
see how long they could keep
the cells alive. By 1951 they were
working with their one 'hundred
and ninety-ninth chemical com-
pound, which contained no less
than 60 life-giving chemicals and
in which mouse cells would live
for 40 days. (Parker has since
achieved his goal of a live -for-
ever fluid, No. 858.)
At this time Dr. Rhodes, Dr.
A, E. Franklin and Dr, William
Wood enter the picture. Work-
ing on polio research in the
same establishment as Parker,
they knew all about his syn-
thetic medium and decided to
try to grow polio virus on mon-
key kidney tissue in synthetic
medium No, 199,
As it turned out, the virus
found 199 very much to its lik-
ing and reproduced by the mil-
lions. Since then, all the virus
used in the Salk vaccine has been
grown in Parker's 199, or in re-
cently improved versions,
13y this time Solution 199 had
gained considerable interna-
tional reputation and requests
were coming from laboratories
in different countries for sup-
plies of the miracle mixture. In
1953 Parker received such a re-
quest from Dr. Jonas E. Salk, of
Pittsburgh, who had been con-
ducting extensive experiments
with polio virus in horse serum.
As Rhodes had done, Salk suc-
cessfully grew the virus on mon-
key kidney tissue in the Parker
medium. Then he killed the virus
with formaldehyde and had
what is known as a "dead vac-
cine."
The principle of such a vac-
cine is that even the dead virus
can cause the body to build up
its immunity, but cannot cause
the disease,
As with all new vaccines, the
big problem was to test it on
human beings. Salk solved this
b,• trying the vaccine on himself
and then on his wife and three
sons, When no evil effects fol-
lowed, he tried it on 200 school
children in the Pittsburgh area.
Suddenly Dr, Jonas E. Salk was
internationally famous and mil-
lions of mothers all over the
world were filled with a breath-
taking hope.
The first hall of the problem
had been solved—a dead vaccine
had been produced and demon-
strated to be harmless. Now, the
64 million dollar question was
.. , would it provide immunity
against polio? The only way to
find out was to try it, and here
the National Foundation for In-
fantile Paralysis steped into the
picture. A field test, involving
some 60,000 American, Cana-
•
than and Finnish children, was
organized atie the Connaught
Lab was assigned the job of
preparing the virus culture
needed for the - job.
At .that .time . the virus was
being prepared in one of Con-
naught's buildings. Although
there was a great urgency for
the virus culture,' every precau-
tion was taken with its menu -
facture. The monkey tissue was
finely minced in sterile rooms
by technicians wearing caps and
gowns and taking operating
room precautions against conta-
mination. The minced tissue was
then placed in large, flat glass
flasks containing 199, which were
placed on racks it rooms kept
at body temperature. The racks
gently rocked back and forth
for six days, when polio virus
was introduced into the mixture.
The virus multiplied by the mil-
lions for a few more days and
then was tested for purity and
strength.
A ticklish part of the opera.
tion was delivering the live polio
virus to pharmaceutical houses
in the U.S. Each driver of a sta-
tion wagon hauling a load- of
death -dealing substance carried
cans of gasoline with which to
burn up both car and cargo ir.
case al an accident. Fortunately
this was never necessary.
In the I.S.: the live virus was
killed by the `addition of for-
maldehyde, processed into polis
vaccine and shipped out to the
doctors, who were injecting
every second child of selected
groups with the vaccine while
injecting the others with a non -
potent liquid to serve as "con-
trols." ,The test ultimately showy' -
ed that the vaccine gave com-
plete immunity in about 80 'per
cent, and lessened the severity
of attacks in the other 20 per
cent, Medical history had been
made.—By Max Braithwaite in
"Imperial Oilways."
In this odd world people are
usually detested not, for being
wrong but for being right.

"A man shows how to save a
great valley. development pro-
ject from erosion,"
Sounds like•one of the blurbs
we get from south of the Bor-
der or even -occasionally -from
right here In Canada.
However, as this dispatch in
The Christian Science Monitor
by Saville R. Davis comes from
the Damodar Valley in far-off
India it'shows that Kipling was
maybe wrong. East and West
cat meet -trying to repair mu-
tual foolishness,
* * *
From up here on the early
slopes of the Damodar Valley
you can look out with the mind's
eye over one of the_ greatest
prides of the new India -a uni-
fied valley development of dams,
power plants, industries, and
vast spreading plains with con-
trolled irrigation where some of
the worst floods in history raged
before.
From this point of vantage
you can see something else, too,
Unless something drastic and
large scale is done, this whole
proud assemblage of the works
of men will have its usefulness
wiped out in a few generations,
The dams would be as impotent
as if some violent flood achieved
the impossible and knocked
them down. In 50 years this pro-
cess of reversal would begin to
pinch; in 100 years the millions
of people blessed with irriga-
tion water in the lower valley
would see it begin to thin out,
* *
Two of three generations later
the old extremes of drought and
destructive flood would rule
again -unless something really
big is done.
The reason Is to be seen on
all sides of us up here in the
hills where the waters originate.
While men are still pouring
concrete downstream, rearing
factories, and spreading the nets
of irrigation canals, other men
up here are unwittingly but sys-
tematically destroying the cover
that holds down the soil, Great
masses of silt and dirt which
ought to be nourishing forests
and crops are being torn off the
top of the earth by the torren-
tial monsoon rains each year, and
are pouring down the streams
to fill the new reservoirs. Once
full they are useless,
"This is some of the worst soil
erosion I have ever seen," said
a veteran soil conservation ex-
pert who has seen plenty.
That statement ends the first
chapter of this story: the analysis
of the problem.
* *
The second is more difficult to
relate. It is the account of how
a great country like India which
is becoming a great modern na-
tion copes with a huge problem
like this, in spite of its inex-
perience.
India may not fully under-
stand the problem or know in
every detail what to do. But it
took two steps which inevitably
led toward a solution, First it
set up a separate valley author-
ity called the Damodar Valley
Corporation - or locally the
DVC, It is reasonably free of
government bureaucracy and is
run by men who are topnotch
administrators, The s e in en
brought together a team of tech-
nicians who know- the primary
job of building dams and power
systems and irrigating land,
Then with remarkable fore-
sight in ,the very beginning it
set up a soil conscrvat.ion divi-
sion within the DVC, It organized
this unit to conduct a coordinated
effort by competent soil scien-
tists, agronomists, biologists, for-
esters, and engineers, It is this
second step that is. doing the
trick because they invited to
India an expert to see what was
right apd what was wrong,
* *
This ends the second chapter,
which is a tribute to good orga-
nization, Turn good men loose on
a problem and they will either
find a solution or find someone
who can lead them to it,
The third chapter is a very
human story,
Wilson Hull is a pleasant,
friendly, soft-spoken man from
Mississippi. He is also a tribute
to the human race.
It would embarrass Mr, Hull
greatly to dress him up in ad-
jectives until he looked like a
plumed knight galloping to the
rescue on a white horse, He
knows that India brought him
here, that he is surrounded with
excellent and devoted conserve-
tionists,and that whatever the
merit of his recommendations, it
is his Indian colleagues who al-
ready have caught the idea, are
pushing ahead with it, and will
be the ones to carry it out. He
insists, properly, on the fullest
credit to them.
Nevertheless they are entitled
to their say, too. And it was one
of his Indian opposite numbers
who told me when Mr. Hull was
not around, "M1'. Hull found us
going at the problem in 'the
wrong direction, He turned us
around and started us in the
right way."
* .
Mt', Hull will just have to.
look the other way while we
conclude there is something epic
about this. He may be just a good
conservationist. But it just so
happens that at one of the key
points where the renaissance of
Asia is beginning to move, he
appeared 'on the scene and knew
how to say, "Not that way; over
here!" And so a turning point
was passed, It doesn't fall to
many men to have this kind of
opportunity.
The final chapter is what Mr.
Hull and his associates planned
and did, and in many respects it
is the most absorbing of all be-
cause it is absolutely simple in
design and almost impossibly
complex to execute, But, once
begun, it has the capacity to
multiply itself and roll up a mas-
sive solution to so big and baf-
fling a I roblem.
Mr. Hull looked at what was
being done by a small band of
zealous men with limited budget
on the limited acreage of land
which DVC owned or could ac-
quire, He said this wouldn't be-
gin to touch the problem.
"You will have to enlist the
entire mass of men who are un-
wittingly destroying the soil in
the drive to save it." These were
the farmers, all of then, and
their herds of cattle.
Easily said -it you know how
-and almost impossible to exe-
cute. Mr, Hull himsel': had never
seen anything like this before.
* * *
Countless herds of cattle
(which are considered sacred in
India of course) and goats and
sheep are allowed by custom and
ancient law to range freely over
the great upland stretches of al-
leged forest and alleged grass-
land.
The owners of the cattle and
goats do not own the land on
which they graze, so no farmer

NO MERMAID CATCHER, but actually a delicate scientific instrument used in oil and gas
exploration, this weird -looking device, an underwater gravity meter, has nevertheless mana-
ged to come up with a shapely bathing beauty. These pictures were taken on Lake Erie,
'where Radar Sxploration Co, of Toronto is taking readings of the gravitational pull of the
lake bed. The work is beJng done for Imperial Oil, as part of its exploration of the lake
bottom. A survey crew member (left) guides the gravity meter as it is lowered to the lake
bottom for a reading. Edith Parker (right) of Erieau, Ont., proves that the device can be a
handy resting place between swims.
is responsible for the land which
his animals are denuding, The
animals simply eat off the gras-
ses that would bind the soil, and
they eat the seedling trees which
alone could keep the forests go-
ing. This is one cause of the
terrifying erosion.
Then as for cropland. Apart
from paddies where water con-
trol is automatically required,
the upland farms are fraction-
alized and dispersed, as genera-
tion after generation divides its
land among its children, to the
point where efficiency becomes
a fraction too; and then they
are cultivated in straight plow
lines up and down the slope of
the land, so as to encourage the
maximum of quick runoff and
erosion, which• in a monsoon
country is something 'extra ter-
rible to see. On a typical slope
which I inspected, a solid band
of gullies on both sides were
greedily eating into the central
land at the rate of two feet per.
year.
* *
What could be done?
From the beginning Mr. Hull
knew that nothing, could be
done without the farmers thee: -
selves. He didn't have to be told
that an earlier effort in which
the DVC itself did the work in
a demonstration area with big
machines made no impression
on the farmers, Mr, Hull knows
farmers are pretty much the
same theworld over, They are
not knidled to repeat things
done for them, in which they
do not participate, to which
they did •not contribute or com-
mit their thought, time, labor,
desire and pride.
He also knew that nothing
could be done by sitting in an
office, which is Asia's great
shortcoming, and either direct-
ing others or making plans on
paper.
In the solid 4radition of good
farm extension work, he and
his colleagues went to ' a vil-
lage which had asked for help,
and thele began one of those
tactful, patient persuasive, slow,
and persistent efforts to induce
farmer's to want to help them-
selves.
* * *
So an upland field of 17 acres
was given the full treatment.
There were 10 registered own-
ers and 24 more who shared
with them, Alt their holdings
were consolidated and laid out
on an entirely new conserva-
tion pattern - in contour
curves, with safe water dsposal
at terrace ends into grassed
meadow areas on both sides of
the long slope. Gully heads
were sloped and sodded and
runoff chutes were provided
where necessary.
I was shown the traps from
which they worked and could
only stare at them. The tiny
original plots were so dispersed
and subdivided that one of
then might be a three -foot -
wide strip running up and down
the slope, Later I saw such a
strip and straddled it with my
two feet, How these lines - so
close they could -scarcely be
drawn on the chart - were
turned into new contoured, re-
assembeld holdings with a com-
mon access road down the mid-
dle on land given by the farm-
ers and a safely strip on each
side, so daft each farmer was
satisfied with his new land, was
a pure "democratic 1evoltltion."
* * *
The first four contour terraces
were built by the conservation
team to show how, The farmers
built the other 13 planned for
the slope, using their bullock%
with simple indigenous wooden
plays, and board scrapers called
kahars (something like a drag -
pan), dressnig them by hand.
They were just a3 good terraces,
said Mr; Hull, as the experts had
built.
Fertilizer from DVC for the
first trial year, Improved seed
on a 50-50 basis.
Then began the -familiar -
to Mr, Hull and his co-workers
- and totally unfamiliar - to
the farmers - round of good
farming. Rotation of crops in-
cluding legumes and cereals.
Perennial forage grasses on the
stpeper land, to be cut but not
grazed.
* * *
The first job was done and
proved, Now the farmers could
grow a crop every years on their
land, instead of using it only
two years out of five, which was
as much as the poor soil had
previously followed.
Next the team tackled an
even more remarkable job of
reorganizing and persuading in
another area, Some 37 acres
with 02 original owners and 238
shares were put through the
same process, a task of such
intricacy that they themselves
called it a miracle. But it work-
ed, and next year both areas
were on their own, with less
DVC support, and all going well,
This year there are some 1,000
acres in 20 villages being im-
proved' in the same way, The
process slowly begins to pick up
speed.
How They 'Eat'
On The Stage
Miss Dorothy Tutin not long
ago described her plight, one
evening in I am a Camera, when
the play required her to make
and drink a 'prairie oyster' in
full view of the audience and
each egg as she broke it proved
to be bad. There was no oppor-
tunity to leave the stage to pro-
cure something better, so the
only thing for a conscientious
actress to do was to pull herself
together and drink the horrid
concoction. Miss Tutin's experi-
ence, though perhaps an extreme
case, is not essentially different
from the kind of thing with
which actors up and down the
land have to put up nightly.
Stage food, alas for illusion,
is no more like real food than
the people in plays are, as a rule,
like people in real life, It' is
therefore.a callous, if not actual-
ly malevolent, dramatist who
calls upon his actors to eat on
the stage. For one thing this im-
poses certain strain on their
technique, The novice, we sus.
pest, will have considerable dif-
ficulty in uttering such a cry as
Poison'!' in the proper tone of
mingled surprise, dismay and in-
dignation when his mouth is full;
and although the old hand will
not fall into so obvious a trap.
if he is to avoid it he will need
to work out beforehand pretty
precisely at what points to take
a bite. Ile is also likely to have
strong views on what food goes
down most easily, and this will
seldom be found to coincide with
What the character he plays is
supposed to be eating.
A square meal on the stare
has a way of turning out to be
apple. Slices of apple, cut as late
as possible to avoid browning,
serve very well for chicken or
any other white meat, but some-
times slices o[ bread are used
instead. Fortunate actors may
be given a choice. Thus the
'prop' list for the supper scene
in The Sleeping Prince calls for
'two portions of chicken (one
apple, .one bread)', from which
it might be inferred that one of
the players was either more con-
ventional than the other or else
more fearful of •putting oft'
weight. Red Wheal is not to be
counterfeited so ingeniously, and
luncheon meat must therefore be
used for minute steaks and other
such imaginary titbits.
So far it may be objected,
there is little of that vocational
hardship to which Miss Tutin's
ordeal so starkly drew attention.
So far, it 13 true, it has been
merely a matter of the awkward-
ness of having to eat on the stage
at all, The testing time begins
when we come to kippers. The
standard substitute for kippers
is dates, which are flattened out
and cut to shape. Fancy the sen-
satory imbroglio in which the
actor finds himself, when his
palate startles him with news of
something sweet whereas his im-
agination - if he is 'living' the
part, as the_ innocent phrase has
it - is all keyed up for some-
thing very different.
Those who frown on self-in-
dulgence may be glad to know
that stage caviar can be very -
very nasty. In the West End, and
when supplied free by the mer-
- chant, it may be genuine, but
farther afield what is substituted
for it will depend on the ingen-
uity and the kindliness of the
stage management. Instances
have been known of the com-
pany having to consume, partly
for reasons of economy and part-
ly because the stage manage-
ment had been more than usual-
ly inventive, cold boiled sago
tinted with gravy browning.
Gravy browning is a great help
in theatres where thrift must be-
come second -nature to those be-
hind the scenes. Burnt sugar, as
everyone knows is the classical
foundation of those strong spirits
which the personages of the play
can afford to drink so much more
freely than their counterparts in
life. Burnt sugar and water does
for rum, for whisky, for brandy
- for anything, in short, that is
brown, except beer, which is
generally actual beer. But there
are theatres where one must save
even on the burnt sugar, and
there gravy browning takes its
place,
For the preparation of .red-
dish -coloured drinks cochineal is
looked at askance, and some kind
of red cordial is the usual sub-
stitute. Champagne is, when
presented to the theatre by the
importers, champagne, though
not necessarily the best quality.
Otherwise it has a way of being
cider or some other fruit. drink,
and many are the devices in use
off-stage to make a convincing
report when the cork is drawn
from the same bottle for the
third or fourth time. Tea, for
which foreign hotels have a hun-
dred cunning substitutes, on the
English stage is considered ini-
mitable, and tea is what the ac-
tors drink when you think you
see them drinking tea.
A good stage manager sees to
it that everything is made as
easy as possible for the players.
When chocolates have to be
eaten they are usually cut in
two, and they must always be
ones with soft centres. Grape-
fruit are scooped out and the
halves filled with pieces of
grapefruit out of a tin. Crum-
pets, which may prove particu-
larly awkward, are cut into
quarters. Certain things the ac-
tor must see to himself, Thus,
on the infrequent occasions on
which he has to eat fried eggs on
the stage, he will be rash if he
attempts to cat the yolks; pru-
dent men slake much play with
the whites. Soup, which must
also be neither too hot nor tog,
cold, presents a problem of its
own, how much to serve out. if
the audience laughs a great deal
the actor will have time to con-
sume quite a lot. If, on the other
hand, it is a bad matinee and
there are no such welcome inter-
ruptions; which is inconvenient
for whichever character has to
clear the table. -From the Lon-
don (England) Times.
clear the table.
For several ' days a woman
called an early -morning hill-
billy disc jockey on a Richmond
station to ask the time. Recog-
nizing her voice the next call,
the announcer told her the hour
and added. "We give it over the
air atter every couple of rec-
ords."
"1'es. 1 know," she interrupt-
ed, "but 1 can't stand hillbilly
music."

FRINGES
THE COST of an hour's work in business includes some
money that the employee does not get immediately.
In addition to the hourly wage, there is the money the
employer must set aside for vacations with pay, for statu-
tory holidays and for unemployment insurance; in the
case of' many companies there is also the money required
for hospital and medical care, for pensions and other
"fringes".
Many people, including those self-employed, must them-
selves save for their holidays and their future needs and
desires. On the other hand, people who work in some
large enterprises for salaries or wages apparently prefer
to have their employer set aside for them money for such
purposes.
Fringe benefits are savings for the benefit of the emiploy-
ees and a substantial expense for the employers. They are
part of the cost of an hour's work which must be recover-
ed from suctomers in selling prices.

"Dear P nne Hirst: At the rate
my parents are going, I won't
have any friends left. They are
so strict that whenever a girl

I have to make up some excuse

they understand and they have
stopped asking me. I- am 15,

six months ago I was interested
in a nice boy and they knew it;

Docked. Dockers Gird
For Battle on Yacht
by Toni A. Cullen
NEA Staff Correspondent
London — (NEA) — Million-
aire Sir Bernad Docker has lost
his job and the stockholders
won't give him another chance.
Nevertheless, most Britons are
secretly proud of the dazzling
Sir Bernard and his honey -
haired wife, Lady' Norah,
They are the living lie to Sir
Anthony Eden's dire warnings
that Britain is headed for the
poorhouse, for who else but the
Dockers, having been sacked,
would promptly fly to Naples
nad board their private 860 -ton
yacht, for a six-week vacation?
Up to now, every time Prime
Minister Eden called for an-
other hitch in the belt to halt
inflation the Dockers threw an-
other pink; champagne party.
Every time the Chancellor of,
the' Exchequer announced 'a
new credit squeeze, Lady Dock-
er drove by in a new Daimler
car, designed to match her
latest hat.
When Lady Docker complain-
ed recently that "mink is too
. hot to sit on," a million women
sighed and envied her ladyship
her "hot seat,"
But Sir Bernard's ouster as
boss of the 75 million dollar
Birmingham Small Arms group
of companies, which makes
Daimler motor cars among other
things, has somewhat changed
the picture.
Between the time of the ini-
tial firing and the stockholders'
meeting at which Sir Bernard
pleaded in vain for his re-
instatement, Lady Docker stuck
close to home. She made do
with the $21,000 Bentley (in two
tones of blue) which was a gift.
from Sir Bernard on her 50th
birthday in June.
And she even waxed contrite,
•
begging the stockholders' for-
giveness, , "My whole idea has
been to help the company," she
said, "If I have tripped up in.
any way and let anybody down,
I'm sorry, I did not mean' it."
The apology worked no better
than Lady Docker's campaign
of 10,500 autographed photo-
graphs of herself in a black net
gown, which she sent to B.S.A.
stockholders with the plea:
"Please ' put my husband back
as chairman,"
For what incensed the stock-
holders was the revelation of
the many dodges by which the
Dockers — and other business
executives — seek to evade Bri-
tains tough tax laws,
Take the $24,000 worth of
glad rags, including a sapphire
mink stole, which Lady Docker
wore at the recent opening of
the Daimler showroom in Paris,
for example. The bill for these
was presented to the B.S,A,
group as "expenses."
And the gold-plated Daimler
with which Lady Docker used
to sear the eyeballs of London-
ers — this was an "expense"
item, too. The same goes for the
'zebra -skin upholstered Daimler
and the silver -starred Daimler,
both designed by Lady Docker.
Most guests drove their cars
to Grace Kelly's wedding in
Monte Carlo, but not the Dock-
ers. They chartered two planes
at a cost of $6,000 to have their
Daimlers flown to Monaco, The
cost was also written off as "ex-
penses."
When the bill for all these
items was presented to the Bir-
,mingham Small Arms group re-
cently, the directors refused to
pay it.
Sir Bernard's argument was
that his wife's furs, clothes and
SIR BERNARD AND LADY
pick up marbles, but
DOCKER: The stockholders wouldn't
Norah has juit begun to fight.
flashy motorccars are all de-
ductible from company profits,
and hence nontaxable, as they
were all used to boost the sales
of Daimler motorcars, -
Said Lady Docker: "You
can't sell Daimlers by riding
around on a motor -scooter,"
Some Britons are of the opin-
ion that the Dockers should be
subsidized by the government
for the note of verve and lavish
living which they have intro-
duced into otherwise drab Bri-
tish life.
Lady Docker, who started life
as a $7,50 a week salesgirl, is to
the British public what Rita
Hayworth, Bobo Rockefeller
and Gloria Vanderbilt Stokow-
ski, if rolled into one, would be
to Americans.
Headline writers thrive on
her, gossip columnists find her
manna in a parched desert,
Even British Communists
have cause 10 be grateful (o
Norah Docker. Everytime she
boasts she spends $G0,000 a year
on clothes they sign up new re-
cruits.
But nobody expects the sack-
ing of Sir Bernard to end the
saga of the Dockers.
We've only just begun 10
fight," said Lady Docker as they
soared off to Naples. She knows
how to fight, too, She was once
bounced from the casino at
Monte Caro for blacking the
eye of a croupier.

It looks as 1f the farm family's
Saturday night outing will soon
be a thing of the past all over
Ontario. Merchants in one small
town after another are having
their council pass a by-law to
enforce early closing on Satur-
day night. Orangeville is now
joining the parade of early clos-
ers. And since it now seems the
trend of the times the sooner
it becomes uniform the better.
Local shoppers will then have
no excuse to leave their own
district to shop elsewhere but
will have to adjust to the change
the best way they can, The
Saturday night outing belongs
to a past generation—just like

its passing but we have to ac-
cept it. I wish prices in all loc-
alities would also be uniform.
With food prices already so
high it is irritating to find quite
a discrepancy in the mark up
from one place to another, For
instance, when I was visiting in
Dufierin county ' 1 found the
brand.of tea that 1 use five cents
cheaper per half pound in Or-
angeville and Shelburne than it
is in our district. Now why
should that be? 1 was under the
impression that freight charges
sometimes ►nate ,1 difference
to the selling price of staples.
1f that were so 1 would have
thought the more central towns
would have the lower prices,
instead of the other way round.
Well, the weather is still mak-
ing the news, 1 just can't re-
memocr any other year when
when we had so much rain in
haying time, Generally we look
forward to dry weather in June
and July, but we didn't get it
this year. The gardens are cer-
tainly growing with all the rain,
In fact our green beans are so
busy growing they are forget-
ting to bloom. But I suppose
they wilt eventually,
Yesterday was quite a day

to learn their daughter was ser-
iously ill in Stratford hospital.
But around four o'clock—much
to our surprise—along came
Dee, Art, the two boys and Art's
sister. That ended the quietness
—Dave saw to that. We were so
glad to see baby Edward again.

Now he is smiling and cooing

After supper there were more
callers -- decentdants of the
pioneer family who first settled
'an this farm. They come in per-
iodically and we are always
glad to welcome them. We hear
so many anecdotes of what hap-
pened when "mother and dad
were living". They look over the
rooms and the garden and the
reminiscences begin, "Remem-

ting here , . and that's the

what happened to the stone

not there any more?" What
indeed? There were no stone
steps when we arrived on the
scene but we did find a solid
stone slab, about five by three
feet, bridging the ditch at the
back of the house, It could be

Killers Wear
Leopard Skins
As the assistant district com-
missioner went into his office his
native clerk greeted 'him with;
"Boss, a leopard has killed a boy
In' the' Imperrl• chiefdom, Bad
business, boss!"
The A.D.C. looked at the man's
rolling ej'eballs "and slumped
Into his. creaking chair,
Well, he considered, there
were plenty of bush leopards in
the vicinity. He'd seen the traps
himself. . -r . some with leopards
caught in them,
But still, In the Imperri coun-
try there were leopards of an-
other sort. that also killed,
Human leopards.
• Hd decided to investigate,
Eight years in Sierre Leone
had tnught,the, A.D.C. a good
deal about the ghastly aspects
•..01 native superstition and voo-
doo.
-He knew all about the secret
society initiated by medicine
men which needed human fat
for a revolting fetish called Bor-
fima. Each member of the socI-
ety possessed a bag containing
dried cock's blood, the white of
an egg, parts of 1?oth a man's
and a woman's bodies and hu-
man blood, all ceremoniously
mixed and wrapped in a leather
case.
Borflma was supposed to bring
good fortune to its possessor and
misfortune to his enemies. But
after a time Borflma was con-
sidered to lose much of Its power
—and that meant the leopard
men had to go out killing again
t0 get fresh human fat. to re-
store its vitality. The killers
usually made a meal of the re -
"'mains of their victims.
The A.D.C. also knew about
the fiendish Tongo Dancers who
claimed to have the power of
discovering criminals by magic
ritual and crazy dances.
The A.D.C. soon had the story
from the villagers, Late one night
a terrible moaning roused the
sleeping village. And soon every-
one was yelling murder. For
there, before the door of his hut,
lay Yagba, nephew of one of the
village headmen.
Had a leopard done it? Some
villagers had got a glimpse of
the killers—two men disguised
in leopard skins. They had scur-
ried into the bush at the first
scream of alarm, abandoning the
body of their victim, which they
had intended to cut up to re-
plenish their Borflma bags.
What was the story behind
this new crime of the human
leopards?
As he finally got it nut of an
Informer, with many bribes, it
was a tale of horror such as to
shock even the hardened A.D.C.
The year of that dreadful Im-
perrl case was 1012. It was a July
day when a santiggi—a human
Leopard Society messenger —
came to the village and spoke
to one of the headmen before
departing at a trot,
The messenger had left word
that the president was calling a
large meeting ,for that night in
the Porro bush outside the vil-
lage.
Near midnight the president,
a tribal chief, had arrived with
his staff in the bush clearing.
There . was only the moon to
light the large squatting assem-
bly of human leopards.
"Borflma," he announced, "is
hungry. Borfima needs human
fat and human blood. If Borfi /la
does not get these, there will be
no more magic,"
That was the crux of it—who
should be chosen for human
sacrifice to Borflma?
"I say Yagba," suggested one
et the company.
"You say Yagba?" protested
the village headman, "but Yagba
Is my nephew!"

MARJORIE (BABE) IN ARMS: MoTlon Garmise holds the seven-year-old "Babe Ruth" con-
testant for a family conference with her broth er, Andy, 11, and her mother, Felicia Qarmise.
by Dick Kleiner
NEA Staff Correspondent
Stalling off bedtime is an old
trick for kids. But Marjorie
Garmise used the time she pro- ••
moted so well that she became
the youngest contestant ever 'on
"The $64,000 Question", She's
just seven.
Marjorie is an active little
girl — "Tomboy is an under-
statement," says her mother—
with a baseball -happy 111/2 -
year -old brother. Ordinarily,
she's not much for books and
reading. When she reached the
that she wanted to stay up "just
10 minutes more", she began
using the dodge that she'd like
to read. Her mother would say
it was all right if she actually
did read.
So Marjorie had- to find a
book. And it was only natural
that she'd clip into her brother's
baseball books, The one that
fascinated her most was a story
about Babe Ruth—"she's literal-
ly read it 30 or 40 times," says
Mrs. Milton Garmise.
In fact, she's virtually memor-
ized the entire book.
"She would follow me around
the house," Mrs. Galnise says,
"offering to recite parts of the
book. Honestly, it got aggravat-
ing .I'd try to introduce her to
little girl things, but she just
wanted to read that book about
Babe Ruth."
She read other baseball books,
too, And one night her parents
were joking about how much
baseball she knew. Mrs, Garmise
said she thought Marjorie knew
more than some of the contest-
ants on "The $04,000 Question".
Garmise wasn't so sure, One
led to another and pretty soon
"You like to take his place?"
suggested the president,
Before that threat the uncle
stood down. After all, he had
taken the fearful oath of the
society. It was a pity, for Yagba
was a nice lad, but there it was.
And so Yagba was found dy-
ing that night before his hut.
He had been stabbed in the neck.
But the job had been bungled.
His death moans had aroused
the village.
The A.D.C. had enough to go
on. There was a mass arrest,
followed by a mass trial. Six of
the Human Leopard Society
were convicted of the murder of
Yagba and hanged, the rest were
sentenced to life imprisonment.
In the Freetown United Breth-
ren in Christ Mission, one of the
most eloquent preachers was a
native of the colony. He had
been converted and sent to Eng-
land to study for the ministry
Mrs. Garmise was writing a
postcard to the program in New
York. -
"It was strictly a joke," she
says. And then they were called
down to New York for an inter-
view and it wasn't a joke any
more,
"At first we had our doubts
about her as a contestant," says
Mert Koplin of the show's pro-
duction staff.•"We felt she might
be too young. But she has so
much poise that we figured we'd
take a chance. We might have
forgotten her, though,- except
she almost have us all the
measles."
It turned out she was getting
the measles when she came in
for the first interview. Mrs, Gar -
mise, a day or so later, wrote
to Koplin thanking him for his
courtesy and 'saying that if any
of them got the measles, it
would be a gift from Marjorie.
Nobody did, though.
Marjorie was "the calmest one
in the theater" the night of her
first appearance. She sat in the
consolation Cadillac in the wings
before she went on for a while.
Then she discovered that some
of the stagehands were watching
a ball game on TV, and she went
over and watched some of that.
The Garmise family went out to
dinner just before show time;
none of them felt much like eat-
ing except Marjorie who tore
into a steak.
At this point, Marjorie has two
ambitions, She wants to play
Little League ball; she thinks
it's unfair that they only let •
boys like her brother, Andy, on -
the teams. She hopes maybe her
TV appearance will wake them
up to relaxing the rules.
and had been ordained. He re-
turned to become a shining light
in the religious life of the capi-
tal.
One day in 1909 word came to
Freetown from the Yandehun
chiefdom of yet another human
leopard murder. This time the
victim was a little native girl.
She had been lured into the
bush, killed and cut up. Many
Borfimas needed replenishing,
Every member departed with his
piece.
But there were other members
not present whose Borfimas
needed human fat and blood.
And presently sweating runners
arrived in Freetown, carrying.
leather bags slung over their
bare shoulders,
One went to the house of the
native schoolmaster; another
called at the residence of the
native parson,

Her other ambition is to meet
the members of her favorite
team, the Brooklyn Dodgers.
She saw her first game this
spring. When the schedule first
came out, she studied it carefully
and checked off the game she
wanted to see. It was a game
against the New York Giants,
Mrs. Garmise put her on the
train to New York and an aunt
met her. and took her to the
game. Marjorie had picked -a
dilly — it was the day Carl
Erskine tossed a no-hitter.
Even before she began read-
ing about Babe Ruth, Marjorie
was on her way to being a base-
ball student, Andy started her
off. He collected baseball cards
and would give his kid sister his
cast-offs. Then she began her
own collection. "My house is
just full of those cards every-
where," Mrs. Garmise sighs.
Mrs. Garmise knows nothing
about baseball; in fact, she's
never even seen a game. The
kid's father, an engineer now
working as an estimator with
a sheet metal firm, likes the
game but admits his children
know more about it than he _
does.
Both of them say they'll be
happy when Marjorie turns to
more normal pursuits for a girl,
Her tomboyness—she's an ex-
cellent swimmer and likes most
sports, besides baseball—is ome-
thing they are sure will pass,
But meanwhile it's pretty strong-
ly entrenched. At the moment,
she figures when she grows up
she'll be -a ball player.
"I suppose," Mrs. Garmise
says, hopefully, "she'll get over
it."
man who had been ordained as a
Christian minister still adhere
to the Human Leopard Society? -_
_Was there a Borflma hidden in
the parson's home?
Incredible as it seemed, it was
true. The Church had ordained
into its ministry an active mem-
ber of the Human Leopard So-
ciety!
Spies and informers were the
chief instruments of the white
man's administration of the col-
ony.
A certain man under suspicion
of being a human leopard was
spied on. The spy reported that
he had seen the man's wife leave
the hut at dawn carrying a large
pot. He said he had startled her,
when she had dropped the pot,
which, he found, contained the
gruesome Borflma mixture.
An A.D.C. had the man
brought in for questioning.
A human leopard? He denied
it emphatically. But what about
the pot?
"I am a sick man," he ex-
plained. "I had a dream that
made me sick. A snake swal-
lowed me up to the waist. In the
morning I couldn't move. I was
like that for four years. Legs no
use. I heard of a Mori man. I
sent for him. He made me this
fine medicine for £3, That is
what was in the pot my wife
was carrying. Ahl If the Mori
man was not now dead, he would
tell you, white daddy."
It was a clever invention. But
it didn't wash, for the Mori
man's medicine was identical
with the Borflma medicine. The
ghastly ingredients included hu-
man remains.
And so another human leopard
went behind bars.
When too many villagers dis-
appeared at night to be blamed
on the bush leopards, the word
always went round that the
Human Leopard Society was re-
sponsible. But who could tell
who among the villagers were
members, since the society was
top secret?
On such occasions the vil-
lagers called in the Tongo Dan-
cers. These strange men were
reputed to be cannibals, like the
human leopards. But they were
used by villagers to winkle out
the human leopards lurking in
their midst.
The Tongo Dancers were great
on ceremonial. When they came
to investigate a village, they set
up a large encampment and ap-
peared in all the splendour of
1etipard skins.

knobbed staff at the end of
which was set a very sharp cut-
ting instrument, the tongora.
Over it was draped a piece of
leopard skin.
While dancing madly before
the squatting villagers, the head-
man would sgddenly dart and
stab a villager. Sometimes these
wounds were at once fatal, al-
ways they were serious. The
wounded one, or the slain, was
the secret human leopard. At
least, that is what the head
Tongo dancer claimed.
How Handel Wrote
Greatest Work
Two hundred years ago in
London, a man sat in the study
of his Brook Street house . .
writing. A heavily built man in
his middle fifties, he had hard-
ly paused in his toil for over
three weeks. The scattered
sheets of music paper around
him still bore traces of the sand
with which they had been so
hastily blotted. Even so that
hand could scarcely keep pace
with the powerfully driving
imagination, and the music
notes leaned forward on the
pages with an almost symbolic
urgency. At one moment a ser-
vant, tiptoeing in with a tray
of chocolate had 'found his mas-
ter weeping. The tray was.
noiselessly placed on the table
and the servant glanced at the
page moistened with tears. Un-
der the notes were written the
words "He was despised and re-
jected of men." .

Handel had headed his first
page with the words "Messiah,
an Oratorio" and date it "22
August 1741." Now, as he ended
his task, he added the final
dates, which tell of the compo-
sition being completed on Sep-
tember 12 and the instrumenta-
tion finished two days later. Two
hundred and sixty five pages of
score lay before him, most of
them without a single correction
or sign of indecision , . .
If we listen to Messiah with
the musical ears of two hun-
dred years ago, we can better
understand how unconvention-
ally yet surely Handel designed
his masterpiece. The omission
of the traditional final minuet
to the overture, and its replace-
ment by the accompapied reci-
tative "Comfort ye" must have
been completely unexpected to
audiences of his day. The await-
ed entry of the chorus in "And
the Glory of the Lord" adds to
its dramatic effectiveness . .
It was a work apart — some in-
ner urge had compelled him to
write it. And so his last thought
was to perform it for his own
monetary gain, though at no
other time in his career had he
more need to recoup his finan-
cial losses. He had, however, re-
ceived an invitation from the
Duke of Devonshire, then Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, to visit
Dublin, and had been specially
asked to compose a new work
to be performed for charity, At
that time all the principal musi-
cal societies a1 Dublin gave their
performances for charitable ob-
jects, and Handel therefore got
in touch with the charity "for
the benefit and enlargement of
poor distressed prisoners for
debt in the several marshalseas
of the city of Dublin." There is
something at once pathetic and
inevitable that the bankrupt
Handel should give his master-
piece for his fellow -sufferers,
for the crime of insolvency of-
ten received the harshest pun-
ishments in those days. But
Messiah was rarely to be per.
formed for Handel's own bene-
fit. It was his gift to the poor
and oppressed of this world.
And so in November 1741 Han-
del set out on his journey to
Dublin, staying at Chester until
the winds became favourable
for the crossing.

Herbage.
