At Christmas we, too, are often watching the
wrong show ! We are feverishly occupied with the
tinsel and the turkey arid so often the things that
come that way prove in•,the end to be lumps of coal or,
ashes. All the while God sends his greatest gift in
•
plain wrapping through commonplace means.-.. Christ
came not with noise and, pomp as the, world expected.
No indeed! God quietly put his finger on a manger in
Bethlehem. How strange it seemed! As the poet,
George MacDonald says";
Y ;c
They all were looking for a king
_ To slay, their tiand lift them high,-
Thou cam'st,A little babything '
That made a woman cry.,
So God does it over and, oyer and over. He sends
his most precious gift, not by armo-red guard, but by
parcel post. So let us at this Christ -las season see
more than the noise and glare of lights! "Let us go
even unto Bethlehem!: and see this thing which has
come to pass." And let us, like the shepherds, return
.to daily tasks "glorifying -and praising God for Lll the
things which we have seen and heard." -

NO ISSUE NEXT WEEK
There Will be no .issue of The

Tuesday is Christmas Day, which
we hope to spend with our rela-
tives, and Wednesday, which is
our regular publication day, Is Box-
ing Day, and has been proclaimed
by Town Council as a public holi-
day. We figure we'll need that day
to recuperate fr:m the effects of
Christmas turkey, etc.
Seriously th_ ugh, it would be
Thursday before we could get into
publication work, and that would
throw the p.:per very late in the
week,
Consequently, the next Issue to
appear will be dated Wednesday,
January 2nd, 1957,
This will afford us the opportun-
ity to enjoy and appreciate the most
important holiday of the year.
We hope you and yours enjoy It
to the full, not forgetting the. real
meaning cf Christmas.
See you next year.

The grandmother who got in
wrong with her son's wife (and

matches my own. Don't you agree
that her uninvited 'helpfulness'
so enraged the girl that it was
the real cause for bad feeling
between herself and her hus-
band?
"Is it any wonder the young
wile forbade her children to

her husband stopped going there

years of such abuse, I just told
her off — respectfully but she
got the idea — and I had the sur-
prise of my life, She was decent
enough to see my point, and
more, she said sol She even
brought my husband and me
close again, and advised a trip
for us while she took over the
children. I shall never forget it.

HAPPY NOW
UNSUNG MOTHERS
* Millions at mothers are won-
* derful in-laws. They iccept
* their son's wife as a new
* daughter; they love her for her
* devotion to him and for her
* private virtues, and respect her
* as .an intelligent human being
* whose life is being dedicated
* to her husband's comfort and
* content, The selfless role of
* such mothers-in-law remains
* unsung; it never reaches the
* newspapers, The only ones we
* hear about are those who in-
* terfere with the lives of their
* children.
* One reason they interfere is
* a determination to see that
* their beloved son is properly
looked after — and what chit
* of • a girl, they argue, knows
* how? So in they barge with
* an armful of suggestions that
* reduce the bride to tears, if
* not rage, and light a spark of
* resentment that can flame for
* years. Even this reason, though,
* does not give the older woman
* the right to criticize the girl's
* appearance, her friends, her
* habits; such personal intrusions
* should not be permitted.—
* though sometimes it takes
* months of a girl's tactful pro-
* tests to make the woman
* realize she is making a nui-
* sance of herself.
* You were brave, and wise,
* to speak up for your rights, and
* I can guess you did not until
* the situation became so crucial
* that it disturbed your husband,
* too. It is your good luck your
* mother-in-law recognized how
* wrong she had been, and had
* the grace to say so.
• It was good of you to des-
* cribe your experience. I cer-
* tainly hope it will guide other
* brides and mothers in this
* vital marriage problem.

BE FRANK
"Dear Anne Hirst; I am 19, and
for a year I've gone with a young
man whom I have come to love
deeply. We have an 'understand-
ing' which may mean everything
—or nothing—Last week I heard
he'd been seen with a girl I know,
and I simply cannot believe it.
He hasn't taken anyone else out
since we met . , .
"I know he is not wealthy,
and since once he said he'd like
to marry me 'some day,' I have
been saving a good deal of my
salary so I can help him out .
But I hate to doubt him! What
do you think?
WORRIED SICK"
* Why not ask him point-
* blank? Say you doubt the ru-
* mour is true, but if it is, you
* will say good-bye and wish him
* all happiness. Add that you
* know a couple can grow tired
* of seeing each other often and
* regularly, so you want hien to
* feel free to date anyone he
* chooses.
* Some folks cannot bear . to
* see a couple happy, and -they
* will go to almost any extremC-
* to destroy the friendship:;Per-
* haps one of your girl friends
* is jealous?
* ._* *

A Happy Christmas to all the
readers of this column. Yes,
Christmas again — and if it were
not for the calendar it would be
hard to realize that a year has
slipped away sire I passed
along that sane greeting before.
Each Christmas is a milestone
along the road of life. During
the winter we measure time by
speaking events as happening
"before or after Christmas". And
we have a way of comparing
one Christmas with another , . .
"remember — that was our first
Christmas away from the old
home" . . , and another "we
celebrated Christmas in our new
hone that year, with the grand-
parents and our first baby" .. .
j, or again — "remember how hap -
1 py we were three years ago be-,
cause our little girl who had
L':en so ill had been spared to
us?" And there are sad mem-
ories too ... there is the inev-
itable feeling of loss because'
some that we had dearly loved
are no longer with us. That is
the pattern of life and we have
to accept it. But, by and large,
Christmas is what we make it.
We can add to the regrettable
commercialism of the season by
being too lavish in our spending,
forgetting that the ten -dollar
gift, hastily chosen, cannot give
as much pleasure as a less ex-
pensive present upon which lov-
ing thought and care has been
given to the choosing.
Christmas is a time of happi-
ness and goodwill, But can we
be happy and good-tempered if .
we become involved in a mad'
rush of Christmas shopping? Can,'
we blame the children 'for being
irritating and boisterous if the
ourselves cannot take Hine to
talk with them quietly; to enter
into their little secret plans for
Christmas giving, How many
children are given a dollar or
two at the last minute and told
to choose something for 'the
grandparents? "What shall you
get? Oh, I don't know — look
around the stores — you'll likely
find something!" Can we blame
the children if they grow up
taking little thought in either
giving or receiving? Don't we
sometimes lose sight•of the rea-
son for exchanging gifts? The
Three Wise Men brought gifts to
the Christ -child because they
wanted to honour him and to
• show their great joy at the So-'
viour's birth. By that same
token it was originally the cus-
tom to give gifts to those we
love and in that way show our
affection, making each one feel
how glad we were to have him
with us. If we would holto
that principle we could 'then
never go very far wrong with
our giving. "It isn't the gift
that counts, but the thought be-
hind it." That is a trite saying,
I know, but it is also very true.
The same attempt at simplicity
might well apply to our Yule-
tide fare. Of course it wouldn't
be Christmas without the tradi-
tional dinner, But need we be
quite so lavish with our rich
food? There will be plenty • of
strangers around us this year —
perhaps some in our own com-
munity. Shouldn't the spirit of
Christmas, along with practical
expressions of peace and good-
will, extend to those who have
sought refuge in our own coun-
try?
Christmas is such a wonderful
time, Twinkling coloured lights
relieve the drabness of the
streets. Gaily trimmed Christ-
mas trees are a joy to young and
old. Greeting cards bringing
with them messages from near
and far. Do you read those
greetings? Do you stop to think
that the verse inside didn't come
to you by accident? More than
likely your friend or relative
sent the card with that particu-
lar verse just especially for you,
A little sentimental perhaps —
but then, Christmas is a time
for sentiment. So won't you take
time to read your Christmas
cards and enjoy the nice little
verses?
Christmas — although a lovely
season — still has its drawbacks.
At home and abroad; in the
streets and in the stores, there
is noise and excitement, We can-
not escape it entirely, nor would
we want to. But too much is
too much, We owe it to our-
selves to plan a little time for
rest and quietness, A half-hour,
perhaps only ten minutes, to be
completely alone. Yes, even on
Christmas Day, During that
quiet time little grievances -- it
we have any — will disappear;
tiredness will vanish; a new ap-
preciation of the good people '
around us may come as quite a
surprise 'after all. We shall find
ourselves refreshed, ready to
work "again — or talk or play
--
.possessed of a strange inner
peace, as -if for awhile' we had
walked with God, and perhaps
in some inadequate way thanked
him for the miracle of the Sa-
viour's birth,
Yes, there will be many things
to be thankful for at Christmas
time but perhaps the greatest of
all will be that gift to ourselves
that short period in which
to be absolutely alone. It sounds
easy but busy wives and harassed
mothers know it is not. But do
try to give yourselves this gift '-
now, and every day until ChrIst-
mas, By the New Year it may
have become quite a helpful
habit,
Perhaps you will say "Well,
that isn't much of a Christmas
column," 'No doubt you are
right, especially as I still can't
think of a better greeting than
to say — "A Very Happy Christ-
mas to you all,"

Q. Is it really proper to
chew gum in public places?
A, This depends entirely
upon just what kind of a chewer
you are. If you are the nervous
kind of chewer, then it is better
if you refrain from public gum -
.chewing, If, however, you can
keep guns in your mouth with-
out its being obvious to others,
there is nothing wrong with it.
Q. If a man is entertaining a
group of friends in a restaurant
or hotel dining room, in what
order do they go to the table?
A. If the headwaiter leads
the way to the table, the host
goes first to seat his guests. The
women of the party follow, and
the men last. .
Q. When eating olives, is 1t
proper to put the entire olive
into the mouth, and after the
meat has been eaten, remove the
stone from the mouth?
A. No, 'The olive should be
held in the fingers and nibbled
off the stone.
Q. How is the formal mar-
riage announcement worded?
A. Usually this way: "Mr. and
Mrs. Henry G. Harrison have
the honour to announce the mar-
riage of their daughter, Judith
Ann, to Mr. Richard Hoyt Hayes
on Saturday, the sixteenth of
June one thousand nine hundred
and fifty-six in the City of
Montreal."
Q. When selecting mono-
grammed handkerchiefs for a
man or woman, which initial
should be selected, that of the
first or the last name?
A. For a man it is always
the last. For a woman, the last
is customary, but the first is per-
missible.

Is Pearl Harbor
Truth Still Hidden?
(Second ' of Two Dlspalthes)
by Douglas Larsen
NEA Staff Correspondent
Washington -- (NEA) -- Fif-
teen years after the disaster of
Pearl Harbor some of the key
figures still insist that a suc-
cessful conspiracy has kept the
full facts from the American
public,
Some, like Adm. Husband E.
Kimmel who was head of the
Pacific fleet and now is retired
at Groton, Conn., believe that
the full story eventually Will
be told.
"The real facts exist in per-
sonal diaries which have been
kept by persons who know the
facts and human vanity will
eventually force them to light,"
he says hopefully.
On the other hand former
Sen. Homer Ferguson, who
served on the joint Pearl Har-
bor congressional investigating
committee and is now a judge
of the U.S, Court of Military
Appeals, thinks .that the full
story never will be told,
"The truth of how the Roose-
velt Administration egged the
Japanese into launching the at-
tack has died forever with
Franklin D., Cordell Hull and
Henry L. Stimson," Judge Fer-
guson insists, "and those still
alive, like Gen. Marshall, will
never tell all they know."
Those persons who flgured
prominently in the 'disastrous
events of Pearl Harbor and are
still alive were interviewed all
over the U.S; for this review on
the 16th anniversary of the
event. Some had new informa-
tion to offer. Most of them agree
with Judge Ferguson,
During the past year, how-
ever, a book called "The Cause
of Japan," written by ShigenorI
Togo, the wartime foreign min-
ister of Japanc does shed im-
portant new light on the attack.
Togo finished the book while
in prison as a war criminal and
died a few years later. A key
section of his book says:
"It was disclosed at the (war
crimes trial) that the naval task
force under Admiral Nagumo
had sailed on 26 November un-
der orders to strike Pearl Har-
bor, We (the civilian Japanese
officials) had, of course, no
knowledge of the plan; It was
the invariable practice of the
high command not to divulge to
civilian officials any scrap of In-
formation bearing on these
highly secret operations."
1f this is true the actions of
top officials in Washington can
be better understood. The key
Japanese messages decoded in
Washington, which command-
ers at Pearl Harbor never got
but claim would have alerted
them for action, were all sent
by Togo.
The logical question thus
raised is this; If the sender of
the intercepted messages him-
self didn't know the Impend-
ing tittack on Pearl Harbor how
could Washington have deduced
that from his messages?
Adm. Harold R, Stark, then
Chief of Naval Operations and
today retired on his Pennsyl-
vania farm, supports the oft -
repeated claim that the inter-
cepted messages did not give a
positive clue to the attnck on
Pearl Harbor.
"I have explored this question
in my mind hudreds of times,"
he says, "and I can only con-
clude that I sent Adm. Kimmel
all of the information he needed
to have to keep him as well In-
formed of events as we were
in Washington," •
The item which raises the
question of Togo's accuracy —
and Stark's judgment — Is cited
by Adm, Kimmel, It's this mes-
sage from Togo to a Japanese
agent in Honolulu sent Nov.
18, 1941, intercepted and de-
coded in Washington:
"Please report on the following
areas as' to vessels anchored
therein; Area N, Pearl Harbor,
Mnmala Bay (Honolulu), and'the
areas adjacent thereto. Make
your investigations with great
secrecy,"
"This information was never
supplied me," Adm, Kimmel
states. The message strongly sug-
gets that Togo was in on the
Pearl Harbor plan, too. 13ut this
now becomes another one of the
'controversies which remain un-
solved 15 years later,
• • •
Another moot question is why
Gen,..Marshall's warning to Pearl
Harbor, sent early enough on
Dec, 7, to at least have provided
time to prepare the guns for the
attack, was given to Western
Union instead of the Signal
Corps, The message was handed
by Gen Marshall to Col. Edward
F. French but arrived after the
attack had started,
Col. French, retired in Wash-
ington, explains:
"Static was so bad our com-
munications men had lost Hono-
lulu, so I gave it to Western
Union to handle. This had been
done previously on other mes-
hages and worked fine. Gen.
Gerow is the man who knows
all about this,"
Gen. Leonard T. Gerow was
assistant chief of staff of the
Army at the time and blamed
for neglect in a minority con-
gressional report on Pearl Har-
bor. He is now a banker in
Petersburg, Va.
"Col, French did what was
right," Gen. Gerow insists today,
"But I have always said that if
it is ever shown that my staff
made any mistakes I wa%willing
to assume all blame,"
In the same category of moot
questions is the reason why the
young Air Corps Lt, Kermit A.
Tyler ignored the warnings of
approaching Jap bombers spotted
on radar by Pvt. Joe Lockard.
Tyler Is a lieutenant -colonel at
Ent Air Force Base, Colorado
Springs, today, He recalls;
• • •
"Driving to the information
center at Pearl Harbor before
that morning, I flipped on the
local radio station playing Ha-
waiian music with no Voice in-
terruptions and recalled that the
station itself served as a homing
beacon when flights of B -17's
were coming in. So when I got
the radar report later, I assumed
It was those B17's. I had no way
of knowing these were enemy
aircraft,"
And so it remains, 15 years
later.
The bitterness of those who
have felt that they were unjustly
accused, or that top officials in
Washington deliberately provok-
ed the attack to get the U.S. into
World War II has now softened.
For example, Judge Ferguson
now believes that President
Roosevelt wanted the Japs to
strike the first blow but had no
idea that It would be as devastat-
ing as it turned out to be, Adm.
Kimmel feels the same way.
"We can only hope and pray
that our top military officials
have learned a lesson from Pearl
Harbor that sticks with them to-
day," Judge Ferguson says, "In
an atomic age the error of judg-
ment which caused the 'Pearl
Harbor disaster would spell the
end of America,"

Chicken Pie
For Breakfast
For discreet • people with dis-
cerning propensities, I highly
recommend the chicken pie for
Thanlfsgiving breakfast — a
refinement being more and more
ignored as the crowding years
effect those metamorphoses
known as progress, I had a
chance not long ago to tilt with
one of these patent, machine -
made chicken pies of commerce,
pasted on a foil platter and the
cover welded on with the Bes-
semer process, and I thought of
the good chicken pies that mold-
ed my character.
Somebody ought to do some-
thing to perpetuate the architec-
tural lines of a real chicken pie.
What bothered me the most was
the comment heard about its
money -making successor around
the companionable board, "Umm,
these really aren't bad at all, are
they?"
As a matter of outspoken
truth, they were pretty bad,
This goes to show.
A chicken pie should not be
a quick -style slap -together, in-
tended to appeal because it is
easy, convenient, reasonably
priced, and can be brought to a
boil and served straightaway,
A chicken pie should be esteem-
ed. It should be stoodoff from
with respect, viewed as a work
of art, prompting love, detail,
--tirrio,Aind care, and if people
are rea y eir "!.speed, 'amplic-
ity, and convenience, let them
steam e hot dog.
I hesitate to insist that a
chicken pie should have chicken
in it, The evidence is against
me, and too many people know
better, You can step into any
emporium of profit and find
chicken pies waiting to be
bought up, all labeled so you
can be sure, and hardly any
chicken in them at all,
It would be interesting to
know the mileage of a four -
pound bird in a modern, hygien-
ic pie factory, The system must
be a lot like the routine Bije
Michaelson had for hiring a cook
at the Railroad Hotel, When the
applicants came for an inter-
view Bije would take them into
his office one at a time and say,
"How many servings can you get
from a ten -pound roast of bull
beef?" The man who came up
with the largest number was
hired.
In my opinion, unpopular
though it may be, chicken pies
should be made on the basis of
how many chickens you can get
into each, not on how many pies
••.yyou can get from a chicken, This
{would probably bankrupt our
S•pie economy, but it would pro-
duce fewer and better pies.
Best results are had from old
i' hens. You parboil about three
of them and get them so the
SALLY'S SALLIES
o.,. - ..,.—.•••••• . Y. .
"At least, sir, It's one way of
balancing our ledger,"
meat falls off when you.. extri-
cate them from the pot. There's
a lot of meat on them, and a
good deal better than we are
taught by modern dietitians
who stress the young and ten-
der.
I realize the big trouble is
with our -stoves. Everybody can
give you forty-leven reasons why
the old-fashioned kitchen range
is evil, but It did have the gen-
eral habit of being continuous.
- You could h'ist the cover occa-
sionally and insert a couple ,of
fresh sticks of hard wood, and
while three old hens parboiled
all afternoon you didn't have
that down -cellar clickety-click
of the gas meter, or the mad-
dening whir of geometrically
progressing kilowatts making
you a bankrupt.
By . Thanksgiving lime the
dawn is retarded, and to have a
really good chicken pie for
breakfast you had to arise in the
dark. Society has largely given
this up as a barbaric custom.
Anybody who stumbled out of
bed to do a barnful of chores,be-
fore breakfast had no illusions
about the late riser's orange
juice and dry toast. Too bad
that so many millions of com-
fortable, prosperous, ease - be-
decked people are unable to re-
late how it smells when you
come in from the milking on
the kitchen aglow with' the
olfactory evidence of chicken
pie.
Now, there's another thing.
Lard. I know all about the bet-
ter things which have rendered.
lard into the limbo of lost
causes. But the plain, and sup-
portable, truth is that lard is
what makes pie crust. You have
to know how to use it, and the
direction you're heading. In 'a
world made better by vegetable
oils, this is a rash remark. Every-
body knows better. But the kind
of chicken pie I'm talking about
was made with lard, by some-
body who knew how, ,and you
can talk all night and never
convince me.
The potatoes and carrots and
onions and so on which aid and
abet the chicken, plus the three
old hens, call for a vessel of
some size. You don't make my
chicken pie in a tin -foil bite -size
nappy. The setting pan for milk,
also ostracized some time since,
was just right, Being extensive
in the circumference, it created a
structural problem which was .
solved by inverting an ironstone
mug in the center, to support the
crust,
This was standard procedure
in rabbit, chicken, and other
meat pies back when acreage
counted. Then you laid her up,
ingredients equitably and judi-
ciously disposed and the ade-
quacy of the chicken meat be-
ing above suspicion. The crust,
drawn to a thin delight, was, be-
cause of its fragile nature, wrap-
ped -severe/ times around the
rolling pin, and the master
builder would skillfully unwind
it so it fell into place intact.
You couldn't just pick that .crust
up and flop it down, And into
the oven it would go before day-
break on Thanksgiving morning
ere the ruby rays of the rising
sun had gilded the peak of the
barn.
The thing about this pie was
its suggestive power. It sug-
gested Thanksgiving. It made
you glad, It set the pace for the
whole day. We had such pies
often; but we never had one for
breakfast except on Thanksgiv-
ing, and this made it different
and notable, — By John Gould
in the Christian Science Monitor.

/TABLE TALKS
eJam
The following recipes may not
be practical for every day life
but they are an index to the
time when cookery contributed
much to gracious living and mak-
ing good bread was considered
an art.
An earlier article, "Do It Your-
self Bread," by William C. Hall
describing his bread -making ma-
. chine reminded me that my mo-
ther had one of those machines
about 50 years ago. It was the
first labor saving device she own-
ed and I have no idea what be-
came of it;
Interest in home baking is en-
joying a revival and a well worn
cookbook, written in the fash-
ionable Spencerian writing of
the latter part of the nineteenth
century, is a treasured heirloom
in our 'family. It contains recipes
which have been favourites for
generations.
Homemade Yeast Cakes
My mother made delicious
bread and rolls in her bread ma-
chine, She also made her own
yeast cakes. These were made
by taking a cup of sponge used
in making bread and working
it into a stiff dough, using corn
mealin place of flour, The
dough was then rolled very thin,
cut into cakes with a biscuit cut-
ter, and allowed to dry for 2 or
3 days or until they became per-
fectly dry writes Mary R. Wall
in Christian Science Monitor.
The cakes were then stored in
a covered jar or placed in a
small sack. When Mother was
ready to make bread, she soaked
one or two cakes of this "yeast,"
depending on the amount of
sponge needed, in a cup of luke-
warm water and this was used
in the same way we now use the
dry commercial yeast.
* * s
Rusk
Mother made a bread which
she called "Rusk," that was a
favourite with the family. She
took a piece of dough large
enough to makea loaf of bread,

Salt Rising Bread
At noon the day before you
make bread, slice 2 medium-
sized Irish potatoes into a quart
jar, add 2 tablespoons white
corn meal,, 2 tablespoons sugar,
and a small pinch of soda. Pour .
2 cups of boiling water into jar,
put on top but do not screw
down,
Set away in a warm place until
morning when there should be
about an inch of foam and you
will notice an odd odor. If
there is no foam or odor, do
not use it, The success of the
salt rising bread depends upon
the yeast.
Scald nit do not boil 1 quart
sweet milk, add 2 tablespoons
sugar, a small pinch of soda and
1 clip of liquid drained from the
jar containing yeast.
Add enough flour to make a
batter and set in a warm place

Beaten Biscuit
In making beaten biscuit al-
ways use one teaspoon salt, a
piece of lard the size of an egg
and a teacup of milk to a quart
of flour, adding enough cold
water to make a stiff dough; no
other ingredients are permis-
sible,
Make the dough much stiffer
than for other breads, beat
steadily half an hour by the
clock, Cut with a biscuit cutter,

Still Unsolved
Murder Mystery
The boy was just home from
school and wanted his tea, but
the house was locked and there
was no answer as he knocked
and rang. Where was his mother?
Again and again the, fourteen -
year -old rapped on the door,
just in case she had the radio on
and could not hear. Still there
was no reply,
He waited nearly a_ n hour, un-
til his father came home. The
door was opened. The boy, ran
.into the house, then he gasped
fn horror, for sprawling in an
armchair in the dining -room was
his . mother, her head battrcd.
She had also been stabbed many
times with" a carving knife taken
from her own kitchen.
The knife ,was still lying on
her chest, but there was no sign
of the weapon that was used
to batter her head.
Mr, and Mrs. Ford (1 am using
fictitious names out of considera-
tion for relatives) were enthusi-
astic members of a. local old-
tyme dancing club, and the news-
papers of January, 1954, were
soon headlining' the "Old Tyme
Murder Mystery,"
There was no indication of any
sort of motive. Very soon there
was a team of eighty detectives
searching for the murderer. Hun-
dreds of people were questioned.
The murder hunt spread from the
Midlands throughout the country.
Who killed this woman? . That
was the riddle to which there
appeared to be no answer.
From the very beginning the
police believed that the murder
could just as well have been
committed by a woman as by a
man. So in February, a month
after the murder was dommitted,
when by now detectives alt over
the country were carrying out
the biggest operation of its type
In Britain, women as well as
men were being questioned,
Nine - women, some holding
shopping baskets, were lined up
at Coventry, police headquarters
for an identity. parade. While
they waited patiently in a queue,
a Coventry housewife came into
the police courtyard, She had
told the police that she had seen
a woman "hovering about" near
the murder hopse. But when the
housewife faced the identity
parade, she was unable to identi-
fy any of the women as the one
she had seen,
The police continued to ques-
tion ' people up and down the
country. A detective went to
Blackpool to interview a man.
After the interview the detective
said that the man had "volun-
teered some information," but
whatever that was it did not bear
any fruit.
Five months before Mrs. Ford
was murdered, Superintendent
Walter Groom retired from the
Coventry City C.I.D. About a
fortnight after the murder, when
the police did not seem to be get-
ting anywhere, ex -Superintend-
ent Groom was called in by a -
newspaper to see whether he
could suggest anything to for-
ward inquiries.
His statements after he had
been on the job for a little
while were certainly enlighten-
ing. He said that the Coventry
police had found out these things
concerning; Mrs. Ford, She was
house-proud and careful about
her appearance. She dressed
very elaborately to -attend some
of the old tyme dancing club
festivities and was known as
"The Duchess."
Until a few months before she
was murdered she was a -member
of the Townswomen's Guild. She
had two sons; the elder. son, a
sixteen -year-old, was apprentic-
ed to a barber; the younger son'
was the one who tried to enter
the house on that fatal day. Mrs.
Ford looked after her family well
and 'was the foster -mother to an
eight-year-old girl.
About two months before she'
was mtirdered, • Mrs. Ford, who
was slimly built and so short-
sighted that she could not see
without her spectacles, stopped
attending • the meetings of the
guild. She returned here foster -
child to a children's • home and
started going out to some un-
known afternoon destination,
She was out at least three after-
noons a week.
Mr. Ford had told the Scotland
Yard that several times he had
returned from work to'lind that
his wife was not at home, She
did not tell him where she had '
been, Probably those secret assig-
nations were the key to the
mystery, But nobody has ever
found out where Mrs, Ford went,
It was believed by the local
police that someone "might be
shielding the murderer. Up and
down the country inquiries went
on and more men , were inter-
viewed. For a' long time the
police investigated a suggestion
that the murderer might haven
been a man who made a practice
of calling on housewives, posing
as a man who had come to in-
spect the electrical equipment
because of complaints about in-
terference with television sets.
When the man obtained entry to
a house, he made Improper sug-
gestions to women. It appeared
that a man was found and was
questioned but no charge was
ever made,‘
Then yet another twist was
given to this amazing murder
mystery. It was stated that the
police wanted to question a
young girl who had vanished
after having lived for a time
with a man of handsome appear-
ance who said that he was a
salesman. People reported to the
police that about the time of
the murder they had seen a '
young girl walking about as if
waiting.for somebody, very close
to the house where Mrs, Ford
was murdered,
was no result.
There were
ments of the
but, again there
several adjourn -
inquest on Mrs,
Ford, each time presumably in
the hope that information might
be forthcoming.
Who killed this woman? The -
public was worried, All over the
country since the end of the war
there had been more and more
cases' of women murdered, and
the murders remained unsolved.
In August, 1954, eight months
after the crime, schoolboys of
fourteen and fifteen were being
questioned by. detectives who
worked on a time chart of the
movement of boys who cycled
near the home of the murdered
woman. But again there were
no tangible results.
Two years later, during Ai'gust
of 195G, detectives made anoth-
.er 'bid to unravel the mystery,
They questioned a man in Lon-
don for two hours, after it was
found that he had been work-
ing in Coventry at the time of
the murder.
But at the time of writing
there had been no developments.
Food Faddists
Some pf these food faddists re-
commend a daily eating of
stviss .cheese and limburger, It
has always been a puzzle why
the swiss cheese has the holes
In it, whereas it's the limburger
that needs the ventilation.
The bride was told by a well-
meaning friend that sea food
would give her husband that
daily umph. So she went in and
ordered oysters.
"Large or small,. ma'am?"
"Really, 1 don't know, sir,"
she said, "They're for a man
with a size 101/4eollar."
She was probably the bride
' who worshipped her husband.
According to Don Ameche, • she
used to place burnt offerings
before him three times a day.

man, the place, the time, and his
thoughts, And it was rather a
shock to learn that thl's situation
in which I found myself was not
at all as quiet, withdrawn, and
secluded as I, and perhaps a
reader or two, would expect.
You have no idea how noisy it
was.
Some 'of, this was the still air
of the evening, hanging with the
preparations for frost, The light
breeze of the afternoon bad sub-
sided with the sun, and there
was no rustling of the beech and
oak leaves. All sounds from all
directions carne with equal in-
tensity, and they came from afar.
I could perceive the composite
vibrations of the entire periphery.
with unimpeded clarity, to coin
a phrase.
Eight separate and distinct dogs
were barking, five of them, to
the shouts of children winding up
their outdoor play, The other
dogs, neither separate nor dis-
,tlnet, were hounds over in the
Farrar swamp bugling a rabbit.
They would fade and re-emerge,
fade and come back, sometimes
together and sometimes not, their
contributions ranging from the
whines of high grief to the low
rumbles of mutual despair.
Then two airplanes, went over, ,
flying low, and next some jets
went over, flying hig h. The lights
of the two first blinked pleasant-
ly, but the jets snarled their
hateful, ominous, blood -chilling
•overnoise, which ought to be out-
lawed. This world was never
meant to be an cchoboard for
jets,
Then came automobile horns,
the squeal of brakes, the grind-
ing of diesels en the long hill,
and the rattle of truck bodies -
highway noises from two miles
away. Next, the digesters were
blown off at the mill -a rushing,
steam -escaping noise the hear
only when the air is right. A
train, away off on the main line,
whistled and then rumbled over
the big bridge.
And Mrs. 13lais stepped to her
door, a mile away, and lustily
summoned her copious brood,
lingering lastly on Tung -sapping
exhortations which can be euph-
oniously represented by: "Tippy-
yire! Tippy - yire! V'en - see!
'Pesh•-twee!" This can be trans-
lated, more or less, by, "Little
Peter, come here, hurry!" But
none of the inflection of the
original was lost in the mileage,
and my translation perforce dis-
includes the implied alternative
that if petit Pierre didn't 'pesh
himself with all celerity he would
everlastingly regret it. Then the
Dials door slammed, indicating
Peter had entered, and quiet pre-
vailed from that quarter,
The fish horn the Garlands use
to advertise *their meals now
split the evening and resounded.
Father Garland, answering
promptly, paused only to close
tho rolling door on the barn,
raked and rasped and whined
on its unoiled track.
I hadn't been siting long, and
I was ready to unsit. I applauded
the new moon and the early -out
stars, and when I stood up I
could see the house lights over
the knoll -supper would be about
ready now. I smiled at tlhe popu-
lar notion that the countryside
is traditionally calm and quiet
and peaceful. Give a Hollywood
director a cricket he can snap
and a frog to croak, and he thinks
he can make a rural scene. The
rustling leaves, the purling
stream, the twittering, grosbeaks.
Just then a steel -rimmed trac-
tor went down the road by the
house, drawing what sounded like
a Nova Scotia hayrack with loose
slats, loaded with empty oil
drums, milk cans, and storm win-
dows, perhaps -a last touch be-
fore I went inside and closed the
door on the traquillty of a lovely
country evening on the old farm,

HE'S THE CHAMP OF CHAMPS -A.985 -pound roan Shorthorn
stoat was judged the Grand Champion steer at the interna-
tional Livestock Exhibition;
Of all the plant species growing
in Canada, one in five rates as
a weed. The annual weed cost
runs into many millions of dol-
lars, enough to warrant close
attention to their control. ,
According to Dr. C, Frankton
of the Canada Department of
Agriculture, many a bad weeO.
has gained a foothold simply bj-
cause it was not recognized r
what it was, Success in h ^ed
control depends largely o a
proper understanding of th':ie.
plants. It is often ,diff+:utt to
trace them down becatse most
of the weeds growing .'n Canada
have been introduced from some
.other country, Frea.tcntly care-
ful search in fore'gn literature,
particularly European and Asia-
tic, is required ilefore a strange
plant can be identified.
Weed workers may consider
correct identification of weeds a
trivial matter but there is a defi-
nite practical application. Cer-
tainly some of the confusion as
to who: weeds are controllable,
and to what extent control meas-
ures can be applied can be at-
trIbuted in part to misidentifica-
tion. An early report from the
United States claimed that field ,
bindweed could be controlled
readily by 2, 4-D; subsequently
It was found that the bindweed •
controlled was one of the annual
species. An introduced plant, _
halogeton, poisonous to livestock,
now occupies some four million I
acres in the western States and
this abundance may well be due
to the fact it was at first confused
with Russian Thistle and had be-
come well established before be-
ing recognized as a serious men-
ace.
An exact knowledge of the life
history, theseries of changes
through which a plant passes in
the course of its development, is
essential to successful control.
the life histories of most of the
Important weeds in Canada are
under investigation and a good
deal of information Is now avail-
able on germination behavior,
An' important part of weed in-
vestigation is to ascertain where
different species occur in Canada.
From reconnaissance surveys em-
bracing all weeds encountered,
a remarkable amount of informa-
tion on distribution has been
compiled. More intensive surveys
are carried out to answer specific
problems such as the milkweed
survey during World War II, as
a source of floss and rubber, rag-
weed surveys to establish where
hay fever sufferers might expect
relief, surveys for barberry and
buckthorn, intermediate hosts for
cereal rusts.
Such studies and other related
basic studies will in time serve
to • improve the efficiency of
control methods. However, due
to the 'recent origin of these in-
vestigations it will be some years
before weed workers will have
compiled as valuable a mass of
information as that available in
the fields of plant pathology or
entomloogy,
• • •
Why the difference in temper-
ature registered by outside
household thermometers? Next-
door neighbors often find their
thermometers differ by five de-
grees or more. Are the thermo-
meters at fault or does the cause
• lle elsewhere?
Trials at the Beaverlodge Ex-
perimental Farm, Alberto, during
winter nights have shown several
degrees difference between the
readings of accurate thermo-
meters set only a few paces
apart. Dr. A. C. Carder reports
that one thermometer was placed
in a louvered box, technically
known as a Stevenson screen;
another on a north wall of an
insulated building. Both we'
four feet above roaau level.
Although these thermometers
were knrwir o vary less than a
degtae under identical conditions
atey came within t.hls accuracy
only 35 per cent of the nights
when exposed as described. On
45 per cent of the nights they
showed a difference of two de-
grees or more; on 21 per cent a
difference of three degrees or
more and on 3 per cent a differ-
ence of' over five degrees. The
greatest difference was 7 degrees
F. and occurred on a calm, clear
night.
The explanation for these dif-
ferences is to be found in the
phenotnenon of radiation. The
loss of heat by the mercury or
spirit in the bulb of a thermo-
meter to colder objects within
line of sight may, under certain
conditions, be considerable. The
reverse is also true, and the
recording liquid will take on heat
radiated from warmer objects.
These objects need not be close
at hand. Also, on clear nights
a thermometer openly exposed
to the sky will lose, heat by
radiation and so register much
colder than a thermometer in a
shelter. Readings from such an .
openly exposed thermometer may
be representative of the tempera-
ture of short vegetation on the
ground but will not correctly
indicate the temperature of the -
higher air surrounding animals.
A householder cannot be ex-
pected to keep his thermometer
in a louvered box. However, ex-
posed thermometers will give
reasonably accurate performance
if certain precautions are taken.
Never face a thermometer direct.
ly towards the window of a warm
room nor towards an expanse of
sky, The former location will
cause it to register high, the
latter low. The instrument is
best suspended an inch or two.
from the north wall which itself
faces a background of trees or
other buildings,
ON T11E TARGET
The bandaged and haggard -
looking husband was asking the
Court for a separation order.
"My wife's been throwing things
at me ever since we married,"
he said._'I don't feel safe."
"Yet only now, after twenty
years, you seek the Court's pro-
tection," said the magistrate,
sceptically.
"Well, sir, her nim's getting
better!" the man explained.
Pigs' Snuffles
Bring Home Truffles
Gourmets in France have been
complaining that it's been a
poor season for truffles, those
delicacies which grow under the
soil and are located by their
strong smell by dogs or pigs.
These curious fungi -some no
larger than walnuts, others four
or five times as big -taste some-
thing like mushrooms, but are
much dearer to buy. Though
some may be found only just
under the surface of the ground,
most grow four or more Inches
down, Big truffles are sometimes
found as, deep as' two feet.
The world's finest truffles
come from Perigord, near Bor-
deaux, • and their distinctive
flavour is greatly appreciated by
gourmets. Pigs there are spe-
cially trained to hunt for the
truffles, digging them up with
their snouts,
Lulu, a French pig which
worked every day for some
years in the forests of Gascony
hunting truffles, was so good
at the job that her owner in-
sured' her for $10,000,
Her amazing snout "divined"
the delicacies at great speed and
she used, he said, "to bark like
a dog when she found them."
Truffles were once valued so
highly in Italy that theareas
where they grew were guarded
day and night against poachers.
These men would sometimes
send their retriever dogs through
the guards to dig up the covered
fungi, the dogs being trained

the metargeay.niurc.
It is under beech trees that
truffles are mostly likely to
grow. Epping Forest was once
famous for its truffles, but now
has none. Most of Britain's truf-
fles are now found in certain
districts of Hampshire, Dorset
and Wiltshire on chalky soils,
but those available in restaur-
ants are usually imported from
France,
Sixty years ago the cellar of
one famous London restaurant
regularly housed some and
imported truffles valued at
$150,000.
SAFETY FIRST
A medical officer was testing
the camp water supply.
"What precautions do you take
against infection?" he asked the
sergeant in charge.
"We boil it first, sir," replied
the sergeant.
"Good."
"Then we filter it."
"Excellent,"
"And then," said the sergeant,
"just for safety's sake we drink
beer."
SUCCESS!
"My son went away ten years
ago to make his fortune."
"And what is he worth now?"
"I don't know for sure. But
the New York police are offering
twenty thousand dollars for
him,"

me." Actually John : was a few
months Older than Jesus. Why
'then did he •say,'"He was before
me?" John knew that even be-
fore the world was. created,
Christ, the Word, had been with
God and was God. Indeed, "All
things were made by him, and
without him was not anything
mmade,"
Jesusadethat Christwas is "the;
cometh into the world." His own
nation officially rejected.him and
asked their Roman overlords to
crucify him. On the third day in
spite of a Roman guard he arose
from the dead and emerged tri-
umphantly from the tomb, Indi-
viduals from nearly every nation
on earth are still receiving him.
To these he gives power to be-
come the sons of God. A miracle
takes place in the heart, Not only
are the sins of the past forgiven
but the person now hates the
sins which once he loved. Now
he loves God with all his heart
and his neighbour as himself.
With all the tinselry and trap-
pings that have accumulated in
the observance of Christmas let
us be sure to centralize our
thoughts upon the main truth.
Then we will wonder, worship
and obey.
May this, Christmas season be
one of great blessing to you!

gives forth a rumbling bellow, unwilling to accept his fate with
resignation. These fine, beefy specimens of livestock, dehorned
to prevent injuries, await delivery to farmers and breeders who
fatten them for mo ret.
