..liouh Family Counodet,
"Dear Anne Hirst; My problem
is breaking my heart and mak-
ing me ill with loneliness, My
only daughter went with a boy
two years and then ELOPED—
after I had scrimped and saved
for a beautiful and honorable
wedding. I feel I am a terrible
failure! ... I have never worked
or belonged to clubs; I've lived
just for my children, and the
• only repayment I've asked is
love and consideration.
"I bought my daughter every-
thing she wanted, She had nice
jewelry and clothes. At 16 I made
her go to driving school and get
the license for her own car. I'd
give my life to make her happy.
"I've gotten over the elope-
ment. What really hurts is that
the wouldn't live with me nor
near me — but she is living in
the same house with her hus-
band's sister, She prefers his
family to her own! Before all
this (six months ago), she and I
were close and she always was
affectionl.te. Now she ignores me,
doesn't even telephone or care
if she ever sees me.
"I am wracking my brain to
find where I've failed. The only
thing I can see is that her hus-
band and his sister are keeping
her away from me. But isn't that
really up to her? She's only 20,
though, and doesn't really know
any better.
"What can I do to have her
love again? Should I visit her, or
stcy away?

* Many a girl balks at a for-

"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 17,
and last spring I met a fine boy
through friends in another city.
I visited there, and we were to-
gether most of the time. We
have been writing each other
frequentl;' since.
"He moved to a distant city
two months ago, and said that
when he could arrange to come
tv see me he would let me
know. Meantime, we agreed not
to write regularly.

so lonesome! Can't I write and

I hope you will not, You
two agreed that letters were
not very satisfactory until you
could see each other again.
The arrangement satisfied him,
or he would have broken his
silence.
Be smart, If you take the
initiative, he may think you
are forward. He knows where
to reach you, and the next
move is his.
Have fun with your friends
at home. And the time will
pass more quickly. Associating
with them will make you more
interesting to any boy, so make
the most of the chance.

Remember — two or three
months ago I wrote of having
moved all my books, papers,
typrewriting materials upstairs
to a room that was to be ex-
clusively my own? It seemed
like it was worthwhile. Now I
know. It is the one room in the
house that is not invaded by
pattering feet, chattering tongues
and inquisitive fingers. Without
it this column would never get
written. But of course no room
in this house is sound -proof.
Occasionally I hear a crash and
then a cry — long or short ac-
cording to the severity of the
bump that . preceded it, And
when the television is on noises
that reach my retreat are many
and various — dogs barking,
children singing, guns cracking
and a mixture of so-called music.
Last- Wednesday, another niece
arrived with their two small
children. They stayed until Sat-
urday. The ages of the four
children then ranged from three
and a half, two and a half and
eighteen and seventeen months
old — with two cots and one high
chair between them. Yes, I
know many families have that
number or more in the house
all the time but usually the chil-
dren are in their own home,
amid familiar surroundings and
with furniture and toys to suit
their needs. Here it is different
— and that is where the fun
begins, We are not used to put-
ting things out of reach, so you
can imagine what happens. One
time Nancy was found on top of
the kitchen table with Partner's
glasses clutched tightly in her
hand. Another time one of the
four was sitting quietly on the
floor giving my handbag and
wallet a thorough investigation.
But the pay-off came when the
two youngest were found having
a grand game in the bathroom.
I'll snare you the details! Result
— another door equipped with
a hook on the eutsi 1 .
,At noon and at sunner time
Partner comes in and describes
the various outside exnloits of
the children which lends us to
give full credit to the old saying
"the Lo'rd takes care of children
and fools". There are times when
none but the Lord could protect
them against themselves. And
yet, although we often get tired
and welcome bedtime for the
youngesters we are really enjoy-
ing the experience. Of course
we are not getting much work
done and I have long since given
up any attempt at keeping the
house tidy, but so far we have
all managed to survive — and
that, I guess, is the main thing.
Occcasionally Partner and 1 get
away from it all. But not always
-- sometimes we get away and
take It all with us. Last Sunday,
for Instance, Edward's christen-
ing party which included a big
family gathering. Edward was
on his best behaviour; sat up In
his high chair surveying the
scene and obviously wondering
what all the fuss was about and
even getting a taste. of his
christening cake. .
Coming home that night we
passed a four or five car pile-up
on the Queen E., traffic held up
for about a mile. Next morning
never a word about it in the
morning paper which makes us
wonder how many accidents
there are that we never hear
about. As Partner says, accidents
are now so numerous they don't
evert make the news unless
someone is killed. Whir is just
as well — the Monday morning
newscast is depressing enough as
it is.
One other day last week a
friend and I visited briefly at a
farm in another county. This
farm was decidedly out of the
ordinary. The only crop grown
was a forage crop; the only
animals raised were thorough-
bred horses. There were about
forty of them; beautiful creatures
with a marvellous carriage and
sleek, shiny coats. Afternoon tea
was quite an interesting event.
We had it in the kitchen and
shared it with a German Shep-
herd dog, a huge St. Bernard,
a year-old baby and a pet rac-
coon!
The raccoon has the run of the
house and came up from the
basement as soon as he heard
the rattle of dishes. During tea
he got under the table and
chewed at my shoes, Our hostess
assured me he was perfectly
harmless as his claws •bad been
cut and his teeth filed — after
he had twicebitten the man of
the house who was subsequently
given anti -tetanus shots, Nice
little pet! His mistress said he
was completely housebroken ex-
cept that he had no respect for
property. Recently she had to
answer the telephone during
breakfast and same back to find
Kelly_ had eaten her bacon and
eggs, "But he doesn't like to be
scolded," she said, "so I just
ignored him and cooked myself
a second breakfast!"
Our wonderful weather con-
tinues, but no rain. That reminds
me — remember a few weeks
ago we thought something had
been struck around here during
a severe thunderstorm, but could
find no sign of damage. Last
Sunday we discovered the
trouble. After our trip to Toronto
Partner 'was naturally late with
the chores at the barn — and
never a light could he get out-
side at all: Evidently during the
storm some wires and been
struck. The result was two blown
fuses and a bulb burnt nut in
the pole light. We thought our-
selves lucky it was nothing
worse.

Shot Himself To
Cure Toothache •
An eighteen -year-old steeple-
jack fell from the top of a 75
foot chimney. He landed in • a
tank full of water 45 feet below.
Ile was unconscious and would
have drowned, but a huge stone
which was displaced when he
slipped had fallen with him into
the tank and smashed a hole fa
the bottom, draining the water
out,
But the stone also smashed a
six-inch gas main and gas
swirled into the tank. Firemen
reached him just in time to save
him from being gassed, He
escaped in the end with only a
few bruises. •
Yes, there is ample evidence
that truth is stranger than fic-
tion.
Even an everyday matter like
the adjustment of a clock can
cause tragedy. A workman was
instructed to climb up into one
of the towers of the Law Courts
in London's Strand and adjust
the chiming mechanism of the
huge clock. As he worked his
jacket caught in one of the re-
volving wheels and he was drag-
ged into the mechanism,
His cries for help were drown-
ed by the roar of the traffic. The
clock ticked remorselessly on,
keeping perfect time, while the
huge cogs slowly crushed him
to death.
You'd think that there are'very
few hazards attached to a game
of chess, but there is always the
exception to the rule, During an
international chess congress at
Hastings, a player clenched his
teeth with such concentration
that he cracked his dental plate.
He had to withdraw from .the
tournament while he wen! to e
dentist for repairs,
Most motorists have, at some
time or other, had narrow
escapes while jacking up their
cars, when the jack chooses to
slip or collapse at the most awk-
ward moment. And a moment's
carelessness can result in a per-
manent injury or loss of •life,
as Samuel Chriest, of San Fran-
cisco, discovered. He borrowed
a jack from the owner of a ser-
vice station. But the jack slipped
and the car fell on Mr. Chriest,
breaking his neck.
On coming out of hospital, Mr.
Chriest sued the service station
owner for $100,000. Al'hough the
owner's lawyers proved there
was nothing wrong with the jack,
the judge ruled that the lender
of an article is liable for injuries
to the borrower when the lenrrcr
knows that the instrument is go-
ing to be put to dangerous use.
Sometimes injuries are self-
inflicted, as was the case when a
New Jersey man thought to take
his mind off a toothache which
was plaguing him by shooting
himself in the stomach.

- Armoured Cops
Bullet-proofvests and steel -
lined hats came into fashion
'about the time that gangsters'
bullets were whistling up and
down American streets. But the
fashion was by no means a new
one,
In 1880 the Kelly Gang, Aus-
tralian outlaws, descended on the'
town of Jerilderie, robbed the
bank, and murdered the local
constable,
Police were sent from Mel-
bourne to wipe out the gang, and
the Kelly boys retreated to the
little town of Glenrowan, where
they herded the populace into
the local hotel, Then, having
tried to tear up the railway line
in front of the advancing police.
train, they barricaded themselves
in the hotel with their hostages
and prepared to shoot it out.
After an all-night fight, Ed-
ward (Ned) Kelly, one of the
gangsters, emerged from the
hotel, and none of the police
bullets could harm him, for he
had put together a suit of ar-
mour made from ploughshares
wrapped around his head and
body, Before he could shoot -up
the police, however, he was
brought down by a shot In the
legs.
Today, the . American police
have taken to the idea of body
armour In the fight against
crime, The latest type issued to
the Detroit police consists of a
65 lb. metal cuirass which covers
the head and body and Is sur-
mounted by a small but power-
ful spotlight faced with bullet-
proof glass. The visor is pro-
vided with windows, also of
bullet-proof glass, and strap -on
armoured plates are provided to
Protect the legs. The police will
look like a robot army when
they go into action against riot-
ing crowds or besieged gunmen,
How Much Sleep
Do You Need?
Did you sleep well last night?
Row many hours did you sleep?
And when you awoke, did you
feel completely rested?
Questions like these, and many
ethers, are being put to men,
'women and children by U.S. doc-
tors- studying the mystery of
sleep and trying to find out how
much the body, really requires.
Most people don't feel happy
unless they have eight hours'
aleep every night, but there are
Students of sleep who say that's
too much. Sir Herman Weber,
an authority on long life, blamed
some people's habit of sleeping
more than eight hours for the
premature decay of the brain.
It's well known that many men
of active brain are satisfied with
little sleep. Immanuel Kant
slept very little; remarking that
"much sleep exhausts energy
and shortens life." Dr. Graham
)301, pioneer of the telephone,
seldom slept for more than four
hours out of the twenty-four.
Lord Nuffield never needs the
prescribed eight hours and Na-
poleon was another renowned
short sleeper.
A Dr. Hollingworth, who spent
months conducting research into
sleep, said that one day It may
be possible even to develop a
sleepless race. "Eventually we
may eliminate sleep altogether,"
he forecast.
NO LOVE INTEREST
"There's only one reason why
Hollywood hasn't built a movie
around the atom," 'said a film
critic, "and that is because it
hasn't been able to train an
electron ar ' neutron to put on a

Irish Sweepstakes Swindle Exposed!
The truth about the Irish
Sweepstake operations in the
United States and Canada have
never been told. A cloak of
high-pressure publicity ' has
shielded the sinister racketeer-
ing done under its glamorized
name. But, now, for the first
time, the Police Gazette has
unearthed the shocking story.
Three times a year sweep-
stake drawings are held in
Dublin based on the famous
English turf classics, the Grand
National, the Derby and
the Cambridgeshire. Newspapers
throughout Canada and the U,3.
sensationally publish lists of
Irish Sweepstakes winners and
splash the photos of the jubi-
lant winners over their front
pages. This is the opium which
feeds the dreams of millions of
Americans who believe that
their pot -of -gold lies at the end
of the Irish rainbow.
Those Americans who can
least afford it pour over $100
million dollars a year into the
pockets of agents peddling tick-
ets to forutne.
But the tragic story is that
the dreams and hopes of mil-
lions of Americans are the
foundation upon which the big-
gest racket in the world has
been built, a racket that has
mulcted a billion dollars from
the American public in the last
ten years.
In its efforts to circumvent
the Federal laws in the United
States, which prohibit lotteries
from using the mails, or engag-
ing in inter -state commerce, the
distribution of Irish Sweep-
stake tickets in the. United
States is in the hands of shady
distributors, dishonest agents
and petty swindlers who pocket
a lion's share of the money col-
lected.
Nineteen out of every twenty
Irish Sweepstake tickets sold in
America are counterfeit and
distributed by highly organized
gambling syndicates. One mid-
west ring sold 20 million coun-
terfeit tickets during a 15 year
period. Another defrauded the
public of more than- 28 mil-
lion dollars fn a single year and
a , third . distributor , and . his
agents peddled more than $1,-
500,000 in bogus tickets 1 n a
single month,
This is/merely part of the in-
side story of the Irish Sweep-
stakc which has been uncover-
ed by the Inspectors of the U.S.
Post Office Department, who
made concerted drives to stamp
out the evils of the Irish Sweep-
stake, Their files are replete
with cases covering the opera-
tions of rings prddling counter-
feit lottery tickets and the dis-
honest activities of the distri-
butors of genuine Irish Sweep-
stake ducats as well.
Here's an excerpt from a con-
fidential Postal Inspector's re-
port that sums up the rack-
eteering behind. the distribution
of the Sweepstake tick es in
the United States:
"The fraud that is perpetrated
on the American public indir-
ectly as a result of this lottery
Is caused by the dishonesty on
tite part of many of its distri-
butors, agents and gambling
syndicates. Genuine tickets aro
counterfeited in Canada and the
United States. The racketeers go
so far as to send agents to Eng-
land and Ireland to mall to the
American public fraudulent re-
ceipts,
", , , , In one instance an Am-
erican racketeer had itis agents'
deliver envelopes purported to
be from Ireland, but to which
he had affixed an impression of
of a fraudelent postmark, Fraud-
ulent tickets were known to
have been printed in large
quantities in Montreal and New
Fork, where evidence was also
obtained of the printing of
fraudulent receipts, or counter-
foils," •
The official Irish Sweepstake
offices in Dublin are fully aware
of the widespread counterfeiting
of tickets and the loopholes
through which *heir dishonest
agents crawl with most of the
money obtained from the sale
of their tickets to the American
public., But there is nothing
much they can do. They print
a warning on the ticket asking
purchasers to be certain that the
agent selling the ticket is "trust-
worthy" and explain that an
official receipt will be sent from
Dublin. But the counterfeit
lottery ring also print bogus re-
ceipts and have them sent to
their customers from Ireland,
-Even if purchasers aren't vic-
timized by the lottery rings
selling counterfeit ticket s,
the've got little chance that their
genuine ticket will ever end up
in the drawing wheel in Dublin.
Genuine tickets are smuggled
into the United States to a
central distribution depot. From
here, they are sent to local dis-
tributors throughout the country
who pass them on to their
agents to sell.
Now let's say you buy a tic-
ket from one of these agents,
here's what can happen to the
$2.85 you pay for it,
The agent, whose commission
is two tickets from each book
he sells, may pocket the pro-
ceeds, or he may turn over the
money with the stubs contain-
ing the names and addresses of
the buyers to his distributor.
The distributor frequently poc-
kets the money from the sale of
many of the books and -"only
transmits a small portion of the
funds to Ireland. Sweepstake
officials have no way of check-
ing whether their distributors
gave them an honest count,
Crooked distributors, in cahoots
with accomplices in Ireland,
then mail phoney receipts to the
purchasers postmarked f r o m
Dublin.
In recent years local distri-
butors have come up with an
"honest" way of robbing you,
They've acquired mailing lists
of individuals in their territories
and have mailed them books
with instructions to remit the
money directly to a certain
name and address in Ireland.
^ecause of the constant surveil-
lance of postal inspectors, hun-
dreds of different names and
addresses in Ireland are used as
"drops,"
Let's say a person gets a
book of Irish Sweepstake tic-
kets in the mail with a letter
asking him to sell the tickets
(he'll get two free cut of each
book as commission) and then
remit the money to a certain
"drop" in Ireland. He's asked
to get a cashier's check or Am -

land, sponsors of the sweep-
stakes, A high post office de-
partment official toll the Police
Gazette: "Numerous checks that
were traced by this Service had

Hospital Trust in Ireland, ob-
viously for their own account."
In many cases postal inspec-
tors get the drop on the "drops"
and immediately issue fraud
orders which goes to the mail
clerks in the New York post -
office sorting mail bound for
Ireland, ' When the clerk comes
across a letter being sent to a
"drop", it is intercepted—stam-
ped fraudulent—and returned
to the sender. Furthermore,
the sender is liable for prose-
cution for using the mails to
participate in a lottery, if the
letter contains lottery stubs, or
remittance from the sale of the
Sweepstake tickets.
The racket involved in the
sale of foreign lottery tickets to
Americans is not only limited to
the Irish Sweepstakes. Postal
inspectors are plagued with a
steady influx of sweepstakes tic-
kets from lotteries operated in
28 other countries, including
Argentina, Cuba, Malta, British
West Indies, Mexico, Germany,
India, France, Brazil, etc,
Are the sweepstake prizes
fairly distributed? A few years
ago after an extensive investi-
gat. n the Post Ofllca discovered
that: .
"Only a small percentage of
the amount of money filched
• from the American public was
returned in prizes. The list of
'winners published by the pro -
motors and distributed far and
wide contains many purely fic-
titious names and other Infor-
mation, As these frauds were
investigated, it was found that
the promotors retained the lion's
share of the returns and prac-
tically all the balance filched
from the public went to distri-
butors and to agents as commis-
sion."
So if • you're dreaming of a
quick 'killing by buying a sweep-
stake ticket and a life of lux-
ury and ease as a result of your
.winnings, remember: You're a
sucker in a $100 million annual

Here ! New TaskFbrce 57 Chevrolet Trucks !
Performance -proved in a history -making test
on the ALCAN Highway to Alaska
Here are the trucks that conquered the Alcan Highway — one of the world's most challenging
roads! Six new '57 Chevrolet trucks, loaded with cargo, roared north from Dawson Creek,
B.C. , through 1,520 miles of mountains and mire, rain and hail — every conceivable
natural roadblock — to Fairbanks, Alaska. Running around the clock, they made this
tortuous trip — normally a 72 -hour run — in less than 45 hours.
Like a carelessly unwound ribbon. the Alcan
Highway twists and reels for 1,520 miles. It
tumbles over towering mountains of awesome
beauty and wanders through desolate Yukon
forests. A miracle of engineering — but a brutal
challenge to trucks.
It's the road where trucks grow old before
their time. The road where gravel endlessly
sledgehammers the life out of trucks. Where
a fog of superfine dust chokes enfiines, and
vicious ruts subject chassis to months of wear
in a few hundred miles.
This is the road that was chosen to give the
new '57 Chevrolet trucks a supreme test of
stamina, performance and handling ease. The
results of that test made hauling history!
FIRST WITH THE MOST MODERN FEATURES!
New 281 -cubic -inch Taskmaster V8 delivers 160 high-lotque horsepower, Standard in
Series 1000 and 1700, optional In Series 1300 through 1600 at extra cost. Horsepower ranges
up to 220 in Chevrolet's complete line-up of modern V8 and 6 truck engines.
Revolutionary Powermatic Transmission! This six -speed automatic, designed specifically for
heavy-duty hauling, is an extra -cost option in series 1600 through W1900 models. Hydra -
Matic k offered in 1300, 1400 and 1500 Series models a1 extra cost.
New 1957 work -styling gives Chevrolet trucks an even fresher, fleeter appearance, There
are three different and distinctive treatments, '
Six new Chevrolet trucks — representing
Tight-. medium and heavy-duty models — trav-
elled the length of the Alcan highway in Tess
than 45 hours, They ran day and night — but
this was no test of speed. 1t was a measure of
the ability of these new Chevrolet trucks to
perform under typical conditions on the truck -
killing Alcan rent. The Chevrolet Ilea made
normal stops along the way. and maintained
safe and legal speeds. As a special additional
test during the run, two of the trucks went the
entire distance without once having their engines
stopped!
It's all down in the AAA record book. And
more besides! Never before has a new truck
been so thoroughly proved, Come in and look
over these new Alcan champs!
Low Cab Forward models outdate the C.O.E. because they're lower, handsomer, easier
to gel into and out of, and save time in routine angina maintenance, Yet they offer
all the traditional Cab Over Engine advantages. .
Heavyweight Champs with Triple•Torque tandem aro rated at 32,000 lbs. GVW, 50,000
lbs. GCW. And Chevrolet's advanced tandem rear axle unit offers a bullt-in three -speed
power divider—plus a unique "self -steering" action that reduces tiro wear and increases
handling ease.
(AAA/ Tho Chevrolet Alcon run was sanctioned and official
results certified — by the American Automobile Association.
Proved on the Alcan Highway... Champs of every weight class!
Atean fleet reports up to 20 miles per gallon! (hat's bawd on
official AAA fuel consumption figures for the Cameo Carrier,
powered by the famous Thriftntastcr 6 engine and equipped
with Overdrive (optional nt extra cost).
AD the way in DRIVE range with Powermatic) As special test,
this I'owcrniatie-equipped 1900 Series tractor gavelled the
length of the Alcan Highway -- up mountains and through
washouts — in a single forward•speed range!
Now Super Taskmaster V8 flattens Yukon mountainst This 1957
1800 Series truck with its new 283 -cubic -inch V8 engine was
more than a match for Alcan mountains. It climbed towering
grades with Jackrabbit agility,

An English View Of Modern Germany
Twice, In the lifetime of many
readers, Germany's arrogant
ambition has plunged the world
into a disastrous blood bath.
Each time her material might
has collapsed. Magnanimously,
t h e victorious nations have
rallied to enable her to recon-
. eruct her shattered fortunes.
Now, rebuilt for the second
time, Germany is feeling again
that awful urge to dominate.
And even if she only pursues
'It peacefully, her conquests will
soon be world-wide,
A middle - aged Engilshman
whose hoby is mountaineering,
had just pulled himself up a
stifflsh peak in the Bavarian
Alps. Resting on the brink, he
suddenly felt a vicious jab in
his ribs.
Glancing down, he saw that
the blow had come from a young
German, aged twenty, who was
just gaining the summit and
desired to remove the final ob-
struction.
Happily, this Englishman re-
fused to be shoved out of the
way. Speaking fluent German
he gave the youth a bit of ad-
vice: "If you come a centimetre
nearer, I will knock you down!"
He meant it. And his com-
panion, a well-built Scot, was
already flexing his muscles.
Rather surprisingly, the Ger-
man and his two companions
climbed no higher, but went
back, muttering angrily.
I say "rather surprisingly" be-
cause, after six. weeks in this
feverishly reconstructed and now
fantastically prosperous country,
I find again ample evidence of
that crazy nationalistic spirit
that launched Hitler on his
totalitarian road to ruin, and
earlier gave the Kaiser an army
which he thought could lick the
world, writes A. J. Forrest in
"Tit -Bits".
No nation's character changes
in a generation. We delude our-
selves if we imagine that the
Germans, after a second catastro-
phic defeat, will never again risk
an equally immense disaster.
Their old urge to dominate is
working afresh today, especially
in economic channels. It's as if
Hitler's ghost had returned to
lead their goosestep to power.
German exports, as the Board
of Trade's special inquiry team
reveals, jumped in volume by
forty-two per cent during 1953-
1955. Our own, in comparison,
have registered a net of merely
twelve per cent. In many
markets, the Germans have
knocked us flat. Hence today
the Deutschemark is the strong-
est currency in Europe, and
German gold and dollar reserves
exceed our own!
Western Germany today, with
a population of 57,000,000, has
not only absorbed 10,000,000
refugees from the East, but is
now recruiting, as fast as she
can, workers from Northern
Italy to man her heavy in-
dustries. "Colossal" alone de-
scribes the nation's recuperative
energy. And with it merges the
old lust for power.
It shows itself in a thousand
ways. On the roads, for example,
the manners of German motor-
ists are frankly hoggish. They
show little consideration for a
fellow driver, and none what-
ever for a pedestrian. In all my
travels, from Bremen in the
north to Munich in Bavaria, only
one motorist stopped to let me
cross a street. She was a woman.
I felt tempted to ask her why
she was behaving so oddly.
Material prosperity breeds, in-
evitably, a new sense of might,
Nearly all the old Nazis are back
in power. They have dug up
their gold, diamonds, silver plate
and other valuables salted away
in their gardens — they foresaw
Germany's collapse quite clearly
and their own temporary dis-
grace no less clearly. But with
these considerable resources they
have built up new businesses,
and climbed back into beaurau-
cratic positions of .authority.
At the universities, many
student groups have revived
their duelling clubs. At least
6,000 young men consider it man-
ly to display freshly scarred
cheeks. Such scars symbolize
fanaticism which settles argu-
ments by the sword or its
modern equivalent.
Germany today is behaving
again in a very unfriendly way
to displaced persons and aliens
unlucky enough to be still living
within her frontiers. Her smart-
ly uniformed policemen, all
armed, far from being friendly
in disposition, are often little
autocrats, tinpot gods, wielding
a harsh and humourless au-
thority.
In German jails prisoners are
sometimes savagely manhandled
by men who were formerly con-
centration camp guards, the very
men who committed such un-
speakable atrocities in the name
of the master race.
I spent one day visiting a
South German prison, housing
720 convicts, forty-four of whom
were alien nationals, including
some deserters from the Red
army. I was allowed to. talk
freely a n d unsupervised to
several of these men. And I
found that even in the prison
service German racial antag-
onisms persist. But the foreign
convicts had one gala day this
year, the day when England's
football team defeated Germany
in Berlin by 3-1.
"We watched the game on tele-
vision," said one prisoner. "And
how we cheered when the Eng-
lishmen slammed in their goals,"
There is no doubt in my mind
that month by month Germany's
natural arrogance will mount,
Her newspapers and periodicals
do all they can to belittle other
nations. Simple incidents are
magnified as illustrations of
"sub -human" behaviour. "Scan -
dais" of the Allied occupation
are dug up and retailed with a
wealth of imaginative detail.
Yet that loathsome, evil and
fearful record of concentration
camp atrocities—the foulest blot
surely on contemporary civiliza-
tion — is already long forgotten.
Traces of those infamous
camps, together with memorials
to their millions of victims, are
either being allowed to rot away
to nothingness, or they have
been deliberately erased. Ger-
many is whitewashing her past
with typical thoroughness.
Of course, there are decent
Germans, good men and women
whose love for humanity is
genuine and standards beyond
praise. But this fanatically ener-
getic, readily disciplined, strong
and inventive race, should any
new Fuhrer arise, may well
burst out into some new flood
of barbarism.
What was said hundreds of
years ago remains true: "The
German is either grovelling at
your feet or flying at your
throat." And today, my strong-
est impression after a six -weeks'
visit is that the German is look-
ing upwards again.
TWO-FACED — Named after Janus, two-faced Roman god of
gates and doors, this new German four -seated midget car fea-
tures doors in front and in back, Passengers sit back-to-back,
Made by a motorcycle manufacturer, the Janus was unveiled
at the recent Bicycle and Motorcycle Exhibition In Frankfurt.
CAT-A-PULTING—This poor bird is sitting pretty for pounc-
ing pussy. Palmer M. Pederson, a rancher snapped the picture
as the cat leaped, won a $50 prize in "Popular Photography"
Magazine's international picture contest.
-� TABLE TALKS
dan¢ Andmws.
Want one of the oldest and
most enjoyable ways of saying
"Merry Christmas"? Then move
along into your kitchen for the
preparatory work of making
rich holiday butter cookies. The
"getting ready to give" will be
as much fun for you, as the
gifts from your kitchen will be
for your lucky recipients. In
these last few days of hectic
Christmas gift -buying, you'll
find that a few hours in your
own kitchen will produce some
handsome gifts for the "specials"
on your list. And what a wel-
come change to be able to make
gifts right in your own home
... as a contrast to the pushing
and jostling so much a part of
holiday shopping in overcrow-
ded stores, And of course, since
time immemorial, the words of,
the poet have been meaningful
.. , "it is when you give of
yourself that you truly give".
Friends who receive gifts of
your cookie specialities will
know that they represent your
labor and love every bif as much
as they are a symbol of your
craftsmanship a la cruisine.
* * *
When the butter -rich batches
have come from the oven and
are cooled, it's a simple trick
to pack them off in gay Yule-
tide containers .. , to carry your
best wishes mingling sweetly
with their wonderful aroma.
Don't froget the wide assortment
of plastic dishes . • . refriger-
ator and otherwise , • . that can
double as Christmas carriers, and
later serve usefully in some-
body's kitchen, Or what about
those empty round cereal tubes
—so plentiful if you've a baby
in your house—or mailirfg tubes
which are dandy cookie -carters,
Gala tin boxes, round, square
or oblong, will nicely fill the
bill too, and come in for cookie -
storing, long after your gifts
have disappeared. For mailing,
take a few percautions so your
gift won't be a -crumbly memory
of "what might have been".
Use a heavy box with wax
paper lining, and plenty of filler
(crumpled tissue paper, or even
freshly popped corn). When
you're ready to put the lid on,
might dress it up with a gay
vpaper doilies, and your Christ-
mas encloseure card.
Then wrap it securely in
heavy mailing paper . and
be certain to mark the box
'Perishable".
* * *
And in your desire to please
many with gifts of your own
exquisite butter Lookies, don't
neglect the members of your
own family. Let it be Christmas
for them, before and after the
day. Let them enjoy the match-
less flavor of that dairy food,
butter, in cookies the year
round by giving the "just be-
cause" gifts from your own kit-
chen.

NO SURRENDER
A ' Scotsman surprised his
friend by turning up at a fancy
dress bell in the guise of Napo-
leon,
"Why on earth should a Scots-
man assume the character of Na-
poleon?" asked the friend.
"Well, for one thing, you can
keep your hand on your wallet
all the time," said the Scot.
Making 'Antiques' Not So Easy
A gentleman with mercenary
motives and a lack of finer dis-
cernment is advertising a make -
your -own antiques kit, complete
with printed instructions and
nail holes Indicated.
This should be deplored, It is
not as easy as that to make ant-
iques, To postulate that every
Tom, Dick and Harry can turn
out top -grade early artifacts the
same as he'd glue airplanes and
stage coaches together is absurd.
It would glut the market with
spurious items, the work of
amateurs, easily detected at a
glance, and , have an effect on
the value of true antiques tur-
ned out lovingly by a master of
the craft,
It takes love of line and de-
sign, an understanding of art
and artistry, and a fine sense of
balance to make a really good
antique.
I've made a good many of
them in my time, and still am
not really good at it. But the
small things I have done satisfy
me sufficiently so I feel qualified
to speak. I got my start through
a bargain in boots. I was in a
country store up state and the
man showed me a pair of cow-
hide boots pegged in his grand-
father's time, They were in
reasonable condition, needing
some neatsfoot oil, and I made
him a small offer which he ac-
cepted,
I wore them one day around
the farm, and .at night I couldn't
get them off. Cowhide boots
were like that, .Friends and re-
latives gathered to straddle my
foot, while I pushed with the
other from behind, but nothing
happened. I had to make a
bootjack in order to go to bed.
We used to have a bootjack on
the farm here years ago and I
remembered what it looked like,
writes John Gould in The Chris-
tian Science Monitor.
After I got my boots off I
bored a hole in the bootjack and
hung it on a peg in the shed,
where.a visiting transient saw it
the next summer and offered me
a dollar 'for it, a sum I accepted
with alacrity, and he took it
home to be a doorstop in New
Jersey, leaving me in the boot- '
jack business. I've made dozens
of them since then, and now I
get $2,50 for them, It is plea-
sant to reflect that I have made
so many happy, and that all
over the East people are pride-
ful of their antique bootjacks
found od a peg in an old Maine
farmhouse.
One thing I know to be true,
that modern -made' antiques are
often better than real ones, The
trtith is that a lot of come -down
furniture has only age to show
for it, I learned that as a boy.
Mother had a parlor set that
was "handed down" to her—a
love seat and two chalrs.. They
were up in the pigeon loft of
the barn and had been there
for years accumulating antiquity.
Father went up one day and
handed them down to her, The
upholstery was faded, clear
back to the woodwork, but the
woodwork was black walnut,
scrolled and filligreed to a turn,
and they decided to have the
set redone. But after they came
back with their new upholstery,
we found they were anything
but comfortable. I would rather
sit on a nail keg.
I made a lovely baroque, or
Restoration, table once, using a
hackmatack stump, I cut is of!
so the roots formed the pedestal,
and the trunk supported the
ornately carved top. I don't
carve too welt, taut with a sharp
axe I can make anything look
as if a lot of work was lavished
on it, This table has attracted
a lot of attention as an antique,
and may be seen at the Reuben
Brainerd homestead, where . it
sits in the shed. They got burned
out and all the neighbors con-
tributed furniture, and I took
the table over with my load.
The rings on the tree trunk
prove it is over 150 years old.
Now, I didn't just buy a
ready-made kit and start in. I
had jo learn the business step
by step, trial and error, until I
mastered the intricacies. It took
years of patient application. It
isn't a matter of hitting a board
with a hammer—you have to
know where to hit it, end which
hammer to use. Many a good
antique has been spoiled in the
making by injudicious enthu-
siasm. It takes restraint to be
authentic. Too much pickle juice,
and poof I You've lost the spirit
of the thing.
I think it will be better in
the long run to leave the making
of antiques to those who spec-
ialize in it. Let people cut their
own hair, paper their own
homes, and make model ships.

Noise—The Great
Modern Curse
Milkman Robert Thompson
whistled cheerfully to himself
as he walked briskly up and
down the empty streets of the
sleeping town of Omaha, Ne-
braska, Jangling his crates of bot-
tles, he swung through garden
gates, letting them slam behind
him, and his shoes echoed on the
flagstones in the stillness of the
early morning.
By seven o'clock he had work-
ed through the outskirts and was
in the city itself—and in trouble,
Here a sleepy-eyed policeman
saw—and heard—him, andthe
next day the milkman found
himself in court 'charged with
breaking a by-law which protects
sleepers from the clatter of milk
bottles. He was fined one dollar,
To -day governments, with the
help of scientists, are waging an
all-out war on one of the great-
est curses of civilization—NOiSE.
Doctors are • worried that the
ever-increasing din of modern
life may be responsible for the

an attack on the nervous system.
It can seriously affect digestion,

small bones of the body and

cases of pneumonia or early con-

a relapse.
Indeed, horn -blowing was re-

In cases of emergency,
But you can make as much
noise as you like—and hardly
hear yourself—in a unique "room
of silence" recently built nt the
University of California,
The entire room has been cov-
ered with sound -absorbing spikes
of glass -fibre and will be used
this autumn for experiments In
measuring the noise produced by
Qotors and various electrical de-
vices. The noises will be recorded
on instruments outside.
Criminologists are now investi-
gating a link between city noise
and city crime, and New York's
"Committee for a Quiet City" is
experimenting with plastic gar-

New Yorkers.
MATADOR TEEN JEANS — The
matador touch comes to teen-
agers' jeans in this colorful out-
fit modeled by Claire Gordon
at a parade of original spring•
summer fashions in London,
England. Blouse and jeans are

skirt in a button -through style.

In July this year, Ramsgate's
council voted to petition the
Prime Minister to banish scream-
ing American jet aircraft from
near -by Manston air base,
"Intolerable, unbearable, fright-
ful," shouted council members,
protesting that the noise was kill- .
ing the town's holiday trade and
forcing some residents to the
brink of nervous breakdowns.
Complained one alderman: "The
other day my little grand -daugh-
ter, aged five, fell on the ground
with her hands over her ears,
absolutely terrified."
The simple truth, which .Is
understandably ?terming people
who are unfortunate enough to
live near airfields, is that practi-
cally nothing can be done to tame
the ear-splitting roar of jets. If
8,000,000 people roared together
they would make less noise than
a single jet engine.
Scientists are to be congratu-
lated, certainly, on the successful
development of ground "muff-
lers" which effectively reduce
jet noise to a bearable level
while 'planes are warming up
prior to take -off, but in the air
adequate silencing is impossible.
Noise in blocks of flats is an-
other nuisance which is receiving
close attention, For years experts
believed that the clatter heard
clearly around buildings — and
from deck to deck in ships — was
carried through air. Now it has,
been discovered . that the reason
the noise of, for example, an all-
night, burning fire being raked
can be heard several flats away
is because it is transmitted
through the walls and floors.
Tests show that glass -fibre
"carpets" laid over concrete
floors, together with suspended
ceilings for the rooms below,
effectively insulate against most
of the bumps and bangs that
plague flat -dwellers,
If you live in a flat and as a
hobby play a musical instrument,
you're pretty certain to have had
the neighbours hanging on your
door, Harry Mills, sixty -two-
year-old porter at a block of flats
in Enrls Court, London, has
solved the probAm by buying n
sound -proof telephone booth,
He fixed it up in a spare bed-
room at his home and practises
his accordion for hours without
annoying anybody. Even his wife,
sitting in the lounge, cannot hear
n thing.
"It's a veru good Iden," says
Harry of his kiosk, "but I'm near-
ly deafened now!"
Researchers into the causes and
control of noise say that one of
their biggest problems is that few
. people can agree nbout what is
noisy and what isn't. Some very
lound noises are welcome: the
rasp of exhnust of a grand prix
racing car is music to the en-
thusiast, but murder to someone
not interested: hep -cats can jive
all night in absolute bedlam,
without ill effects, but neighbours
go crazy. Some very quiet noises,
on the other hand can be deva-
steating: like a dripping tap, or a
fly buzzing on the ceiling.
Noise has been proved to cause
physical pain, and if big enough,
can kill, • Scientists have lolled
mice and rets with high-pitched
sound vibration. In one experi-
ment, cockroaches died in about
three seconds and mosquitoes in
ten seconds. Utra-sonic vibrations
can kill bacterin and even bore
holes in our teeth for the dentist.
Doctors say that most people
suffer from noise, but not every-
one is aware of It. Noise takes its
toll on nerves, producing ir-
ritability which is often just put
down to bad temper.
SLEEPLESS
• The longest period of insomnia
on record is claimed by Fablana
Geonzon, of Manila, the Philip-
pine Islands, who, for 30 years,
hasn't slept.
Troubled with headaches as a
child Geonzon found it increas-
ingly difficult to get to sleep un-
til, at the age of six, he couldn't
sleep at all.
Although admitting to feeling
tired on occasions, he states that
his sleeplessness hasn't affected
his health.
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU — Death flagged down the
train for Phillip Watkins, 21 -year-old, He lost the race with a
speeding train, and paid for It with his life, as the engine
dragged his car a half mile down the track. Play it safe, and
avoid being the body they have to carry away from the
wreckage.
TWO MOUTHS TO PEED—Apparently believing that two heads
are better than one, this Hereford calf sticks them both in a
feeding trough and chomps contentedly. Its owner, Arnold
Raybuck, bought the freak animal in North Carolina and plans

The day of air-conditioning in
barns, farrowing houses, laying
houses and other livestock build-
ings is just dawning but experi-
ments with stock kept at varying
temperatures seem to indicate
that air-conditioning may be
technology's next major contri-
bution to the farm scene.
In Canada little has been done
so far with farm air-conditioning,
but in the United States cooling
farm buildings with air -condi-
tioners has proved worthwhile in
a variety of cases.
At the University of Missouri
"climate laboratory," for instance,
it was found that cows produce
better at 50 to 60 degrees Fahren-
heit than at higher temperatures,
Even in the not -too -hot 75 to 80
degrees range, they ate less and
gave less milk.

that two air -conditioners in his
farrowing house saved him two

Kentucky tests showed that,
summer breeding for fall lambs

A North Carolina artificial in-

higher when animals were kept

Greenhouses offer another ex-
ample. They have been operating
for centuries with a normal out-
put of 40 to 50 tons of fruit an
acre. Scientists calculate that
average yields of 180 tons to the
acre can be expected through
proper air-conditioning.
Air - conditioned greenhouses
are essential, too, as laboratories
for further Investigation of plant
behaviour in relation to environ-
ment. By such means the effects,
of climate on all crops can be
measured, This could bring about
selective breeding of many
plants, to adjust to growing con-
ditions, and the development of
methods of modifying field con-
ditions to increase production,

In the United States an appara-

Whether the job on hand in-
volves the building of a new
farm home, or the laying of a
concrete floor in the stable, poly-
thene sheeting can be a time-
saving and valuable helpmate. In
the variable Canadian climate,
moisture seeps through the walls,
ceilings and floors of buildings.
Polythene sheets set between in-
sulation and plasterboard or gyp -
rock, or placed over wall sheath-
ing prevents the transmission of
this moisture.
When applying the film to
walls, it can be stapled vertically
to two-by-four studding on 16 -
inch centres with a full lap on
alternate studs. It can also he
applied horizontally to the stud-
ding
tudding or directly over interior
sheathing under the lath or
plaster board. On ceilings It
should be applied to the warm
side of the joists by stapling the
film Lengthwise to the joists,
overlapping the full width of the.
joists.

Used in floors, polythene film
reduces the passage of moisture
vapor, dust and air currents. This
can be particularly important in
the floor of a hay mow located
above a dairy barn, The layer of
plastic film will prevent dust and'
seeds from falling through the
floor and interfering with the
production of clean, healthful
milk.

LESSON
BY REV R. BARCI.AY
WARREN, B.A. B.O.
• The Prodigal Son
Luke 15:11-24
Memory Selection: He hath
not dealt with us atter our sins
nor rewarded us according to
our iniquities, For as the hea-
ven Is high above the earth, so
great is his mercy toward thea:
that fear him, Psalm 103: 10-11.
The story of the Prodigal Son
has been called the heart of the
Gospel, That is because it
teaches that God forgives sin-
ners. How thrilled the publicans
and shiners must have been
when they learned how the boy
who had wasted his substance
on riotous living was joyfully
welcomed by his father, There
was hope for them too.
World Conquest tells of a col-
porteur selling a New Testament
to a French woman named
Jeanne. Her husband, Jacques.
reproved her for spending her
money in that fashion and de-
manded the book, "But," she
said, "the money is not all
yours, I brought my dowry when
we -Harried,"
"Alright," said Jacques. "The
money was half yours and half
• mine. The book is the same."
He tore it in two and gave her
half, Some days later as he sat
by his charcoal fires in the for-
est, he felt lonely. He thought
of the book. Taking it out of
his blouse he read from the be-
ginning. It began, "And will
say unto him, Father, I have
sinned against heaven and be-
fore thee, and am no more
worthy to be called thy son."
He read to the ens of the story.
Then he wondered: what had
the poor lost son done? Where
had he been? The questions
haunted him. "I wish I had the
beginning of the story," he
sighed, Meanwhile Jeanne had
read the first portion of the New
Testament and came to the
point where the son said "I
will rise and go to my father."
She wondered what happened.
the father welcome him? That
night he asked Jeanne for her
half of the torn book. Together
they read the whole of the
beautiful parable and the Spirit
of God, who had been working
in both their hearts, caused its
meaning to dawn on them, Both
yielded their hearts and lives
to the Lord Jesus Christ.
"The word of God is quick,
and powerful, and sharper than
any twoedged piercing even to
the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of
the thoughts and intents of the
heart." Hebrew 4: 12: We should
study God's Word each day,
