Our intelligence agents have just unearthed news of the stin- giest man in town, and it's too electrifying to keep until next Christmas, He's the fellow who saves burned -out Christmas tree bulbs and lets his children peer through them on bright,' sunny days to save expense of buying a string of bulbs which work. SOPHISTICATES — Now residents of what is reputed to be the world's most sophisticated city, Mama and Papa llama, who hail from Peru, introduce their new daughter to visitors at the Vincennes Zoo, Paris, France. SKIRTS DOUBLED — From Paris, France, comes this swim -suit with two skirts. Bathing en- semble, from the 1957 ..resort collection of Brigitte of Cannes, consists of a one-piece suit in white cotton, framed in bands of colorful print, with a match- ing skirt for town wear. Now I can tell the whole story —I mean the story of Christmas at Ginger Farm. I couldn't be- fore because as you may know this column has to be written well ahead of time to be ready for the . Christmas and New Year's papers. So now we'll travel backwards in time for the little odds and ends of domestic upheavals that happened — and some that didn't happen, The first upset was about two weeks before Christmas when little Edward took the measles. He wasn't .particularly sick — our main worry was David. Was he or wasn't he going to have meas- les for Christmas? You can be quite sure he was watched very carefully—but , . no measles. This is the third time he has been exposed to infection with- out taking them so it looks as if he has built up some kind of immunity, The next problem was our TV. I think I mentioned before it went out of kilter—sound but no plcture—just when we were looking forward to the special. programmes. Of course no one had time to fix it. Then Bob came along, worked on it two separate days and got it going again without any new tubes or parts. But he still doesn't . know how or why it works! Then came the story of the stuffing. I was busy making the turkey dressing; had 'the onions and celery frying in butter and almost done when a man came to the door—a Dutchman want- ing to know where another Dutchman lived. By the time I had managed to understand what he wanted and had given him directions—which I hope he un- derstood—the onions and celery .were burnt to a crisp. Worse still I had used my last onion!. An- other trip to town; more onions and more celery to chop and cook. Came Christmas Day , , , ev- eryone here and everyone happy —except me. I was sure the dressing would be uneatable and the pudding a failure! But do you know they were both parti- cularly good. So you see I, too, worry about the things that never happen. After dinner the ,Christmas Tree—and no one enjoyed it more than seven -months' old Edward. He sat on the floor among the wrappings and boxes, cooing and chuckling to him- self. David, of course, was thril- led beyond measure. The grown- ups too were very well pleased and there were frequent excla- mations of "Oh, look—just what I wanted!" Partner's present to me caused a good deal of amuse- ment. It was a copper -bottom frying -pan! Apparently he - was tired of hearing complaints about my old aluminum frying - pan to which everything stuck closer than a brother. So that was one time when the squeak- ing wheel got some grease. Altogether it was a most en- joyable Christmas, particularly as the weather was perfect for travelling so we had no worries about those on the highway. An- other thing --there was such a happy family feeling . , ne Annual Meeting of Shareholders The Royal Bank of Canada James Muir questions if Canada developing her human resources as effectively as her natural resources Present teachers' salaries make decent living 'standard impossible for those who train and mould character of youth. Effective control of inflation may not be possible without broader central bank powers. The "depressed occupational status" of Canadian teachers, in churches, schools and universi- ties, and the dangers posed by our apparent neglect of those re- sponsible for .the training and building of the moral character of our youth were emphasized by James Muir, Chairman and Presidegt of The Royal Bank of Canada, in his address at the bank's annual meeting in Mont- real. on Thursday, January 10th. ' "It is clear enough that the eco- nomic resources at the disposal of our schools and universities and even of many of our churches are insufficient to maintain de- cent living standards for the de- voted men and women whose life work it is to train the minds and develop the character of our young people," said Mr. Muir. "In this we are failing to make the fullest and wisest use of key human resources; we are failing to give them a reward consistent either with equity or incentive; and we are endangering there- fore the• future welfare of our whole economy." CRISIS IN EDUCATION "The present economic posi- tion of the teaching profession is an anomaly. The economic posi- tion of all teachers has deterior- ated relative to other professions of comparable training and re- sponsibility, and relative to the working force as a whole. Thus the teacher today finds himself in the same occupational "de- pressed- area" which he occupied as long ago as 1776. With the present disparity between the salaries we pay our teachers, and the salaries we pay for compar- able talent elsewhere, we can- not expect to recruit or to retain enough qualified men and wo- men to maintain our present teaching standards in our schools and universities, "Here then is a case where the allocation of our human resour- ces would seem to be unrespon- sive to the ordinary operation of the price mechanism. But this is only partly true. In fact, the sup- ply of teachers is likely over a period of time to be only too • responsive to the price mechan- ism; the market will work only too well and we shall lose much of what is best in our educa- tional practice through the spread of too small. a staff over too many courses and students, and through the deterioration of the staff itself. "We as citizens must, through government, business, or indivi- dual action ensure that our schoolsand universities are pro- vided with sources of funds suffi- cient to attract, to retain and to replenish those human resources of talent, training and experi- ence that teaching requires." INFLATION STILL TIIREAT The 'continuing ' threat of infla- tionary pressure, some of them from new and unexpected quar- ters, was also emphasized by, Mr. Muir, who expressed : the view that it might be necessary to enlarge the powers of the cen- tral bank if we 'were ' to keep under full control the forces which threatened the integrity of our money. "It is now nearly fourteen months since the Bank of Cana- da came to real grips with the problem," said Mr. Muir.. "The battle is a stiff and •continuing. one, and victory has not yet been achieved, And in this bat- tle, unenlightened selfishness is, perhaps, the most dangerous 'misguided missile' combating those who would confine infla- tionary forces and preserve the integrity of our money. "The Bank of Canada and the CAN PRESENT CURBS HALT INFLATION? "There are at least two sources of inflationary pres- sure which the central bank, with its present powers, will find it difficult to reach," said Mr. Muir, "First, it is possible, even with no increase in the money supply, to increase the acti- vity of that supply by putting otherwise idle funds into the hands of spenders through the ordinary devices provided by the capital market. "Second, it is possible, with no increase in the money sup- ply; to increase the funds available to businessmen and consumers from sources other than the financial institutions ordinarily controlled by our monetary authorities. "In both cases, we have, in the classic phrase, an increase in the 'velocity of circulation', but the implications for pol- icy are sufficiently different to merit separate treatment, "It would seem to be at least open to doubt whether the present facilities and tech- niques available to our mone- tary authorities are sufficient- ly wide in scope to deal with present-day problems ofcre- dit control. The classical wea- pon — upward movement of interest rates, largely through commercial banks — may by itself prove an impotent pol- icy. It may be taking too posi- tive a view of a distant scene, but it would at least appear that, in order to be fair and in order to achieve the best re- sults, our monetary and credit control may have to embrace a wider area of our financial world than it now does. "A rigorous monetary pol- icy has already enjoyed a large measure of success in the traditional area of bank credit. Its over-all success may depend in large measure on the efficacy of the volun- tary arrangements already reached in the non-bank area, or on the extension of credit control by the central bank or other organsof govern- ment to include .this increas- ingly important source of liquid funds." chartered banks have co-oper- ated within the broad frame- work of monetary policy to re- duce to almost negligible pro- portions the' net inflationary ef- fect of charteredbank opera- tions, "Consumer credit continues to expand, but consumer credit di- rectly or indirectly financed by banks fell off significantly in 1956. For example, personal loans by chartered banks fell off during the second half of the year, while similar loans by loan companies and 'credit unions continued in 1956 the rising trend established in 1955. Retail consumer credit by instalment finance companies rose through 1956 to a new high, while char- tered bank loans to instalment finance' companies fell steadily during the second half of the year. "These favourable results, so faras chartered bank credit is concerned, were due to a mone- tary policy that kept the brakes on the expanding money supply, thereby allowing market rates of interest to rise with the increas- ed demand for funds, "In addition to overall policy on money supply and money rates, the Bank of Canada con - Total Deposits have now passed $314 billion mark --- K, M. Sedgewick, General Manager, noted that not only had the assets of the Royal Bank reached the imposing total of $3,571,298,320 but that deposits had passed the $31/4 billion mark, both new high points in Cana- dian banking history. While out loaning policy during the year was a restrictive one," said Mr. Sedgewick, "in line with our agreement with the Bank of Ca- nada, yet the buoyancy of our economy demanded that we ac- commodate many deserving cli- ents with new or increased lines of credit, For .this reason, the commercial loans bf the bank in- creased by $125,000,000 or just over 10%." The bank's liquid position, he pointed out, contin- ued strong, total quick assets of $1,958,263,058 representing 57.86 per cent of the bank's liabilities to the public. Capital Funds now stand at $187,701,633, represent- ing an increase of approximately $36,000,000 during the year." "In spite of lower balances in Government accounts of some $45,000,000," said Mr. Sedgewlck, "deposits of the bank increased by approximately $216,000,000. The number of our depositors grows steadily and we receive much satisfaction in realizing the high percentage of the country's population . who deal with us" Earnings for the year were $12,- 467,268 after providing for de- preciation and income tax. This figure compares with $10,858,480 in the previous year. Mr. Sedgewick discussed the bank's extensive building and renovation , programme, a n d mentioned. that branches and sub -branches operating in Cana- da numbered 797; while those abroad totalled 75. ROYAL BANK ABROAD "International banking on s broad scale has been a special characteristic of the bank for a long period," said Mr. Sedge - wick. "It has long been our pol- icy to select business carefully and, as a result, the asset posi- tion of our Non -Domestic branches continues at a high standard. For over ten years, a special section of the bank's Foreign Department has been devoted to the development of information necessary to those engaged in trade, and the per- manent staff of this department is augmented by the flow of senior men between overseas branches and Head Office." This, Mr. Sedgewick mentioned, makes the bank well equipped to ren- der a specialized and essential service to clients and others en- gaged in foreign operations. He stressed that in an organization such as the Royal Bank, there are always worthwhile oppor- tunities for young Canadians who have special aptitudes and are interested in a banking ca- reer abroad. tinues the ban on term loans, as well as Its requirement, fully effective in May, 1956, that char- tered banks maintain second- ' line reserves of treasury bills and day-to-day loans sufficient, with existing statutory cash re- serves of 8 per cent, to establish a 'liquidity ratio' of at least 15 per cent of deposit liabilities," WIDER POWERS NEEDED Despite the effective measures already taken, Mr. Muir felt that there were at least two sources of inflationary pressure which the Central Bank, with its pres- ent powers, would find it difficult to reach (see box). "It would appear," concluded Mr. Muir, "that in order to be fair and achieve the best ' results, our monetary and credit control may have to ' embrace a wider area of our financial world than it now does." The problems of Canada today, he said, were the natural problems of a growing country and of an economy that has great potentialities for growth and de- velopment. bickering, no petty jealousies, no one thinking he sir she was less favoured than someone else, And what a difference that makes. Unfortunately there ,are families where such a happy relationship does not exist. A case in point— one son will not visit his parents if the other son is there because the two wives are not on speak- ing terms. Can you, imagine a more unpleasant situation for the mother and father who, to make matters worse, live in a somewhat isolated part of On- tario, An occasional spat is for- givable but a long term family feud is, to my way of thinking, absolutely stupid, selfish ' and unpardonable, It makes every- one miscrnble, not only. the par- ties chief'.y concerned but every member of, their respective fam- ilies, Well, that concludes the story of our Christmas—nothing spec- tacular—just a quiet, family af- fair, Now we are looking for- ward to a visit from sister Kath- leen and nephew Klemi from Oshawa,. After that it will be back to normal living again—at least I.hope It will be normal living. ` 1 would like to think the tem- po of life will be a little slower, a little quieter in the New Year than it was before Christmas But' 1 suppose that is a futile hope. But yet, we are sometimes compelled to slow up whether we want to or not, I saw an in- stance of this yesterday. Driving home from town I had to stop for red lights at a railway cros- sing. 'A very long freight train was pulling into the station, so long`that when the first section was in the station ,the middle section' blocked the crossing. And there it stayed. The time was 12.05 and ,employees of an In- dustrial plant were on their way home ofr lunch. The line-up of cars got longer and longer and I could imagine the drivers seething at the wheel. The train. eventually ,went on its way — after nine or ten minutes — but, judging by the expressive faces of most of the drivers 11 must have seemed like halt nn hour. A ten minute wait .. ten minutes nut of twenty-four hntys_.rori' it really have made very much d'tlerence? r New Data Jolts Views About Mars If there are living plants and animals on the red planet Mars, they seem to have made no at- tempt to show themselves to as- tronomers last fall when Mars pwung closer to the earth than tt has been for 32 years. According to Carl Sagan of the Yerkes and McDonald Observa- tories of the University of Chi- cago, the "seeing" conditions for studying Mars, were excellent. But clone of the vivid greens and blues that have previously been reported during the height of the Martian spring, which were ta- ken a9 evidence of some sort of plant growth, were observed. In a report delivered to the Society for the Study of Evolu- tion at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science here in New York, Mr. Sagan explained that previous evidence for life en Mars was based on three types of observations. First there have been seasonal color changes in dark areas on the Martian surface which co- incided with the melting of the polar ice cap. Then there were seasonal erratic changes in the. size of these dark areas. Finally, there has been the observed re- appearance of the dark areas after being overlaid by what is thought to be sand or dust from a dust storm. - All of these phenomena have been taken to indicate some sort of plant growth writes Robert C. Cowen in The Christian Science Monitor. However, Mr. Sagan now says MERRY MENAGERIE "Will I be glad when this King Arthur phase is over!" that observations made during this recent favorable approach of the red planet by Dr. G. P. Kuiper, who is also at the. Uni- versity of Chicago, suggest that the color changes may have been illusory. Dr. Kuiper had some very clear views of Mars. But the dark areas seemed an almost uniform gray when -compared , with a color chart illuminated by daylight quality light, Occa- sionally, Mr. Sagan said, there were some faint traces of green - blue pastels, But the most defi- nite color was a brown ring around the melting polar ice cap, which had been previously reported, The significance of theseob- servations can be seen from the fact that the size changes in the dark areas or their reappearance after a dust, storm would be equally well explained as the ef- fect of sand drifting over vitre- ous lava fields, Thus, it has been the color changes more than anything else that have suppor- ted theories of Martian vegeta- tion in the past. Perhaps, Mr. Sagan suggested, this was a bad growing year on Mars. Perhaps the vegetation dried up and thus was not par- ticularly noticeable. Certainly, he said, brighter and more easily observed color changes than were seen this year have been reported by reliable observers in .•the past. But, while this may very well have been the ea r., the new data shows that a good deal more thought and study has to be made before any reasonably sound conclusions can be drawn about life on Mars.

Too Much Nagging Bad for Children The note from the school nurse read; "Linda J. in Grade 10 has started biting her nails again. She looks unhappy and depress- ed. I suspect her parents are pushing her too hard." Linda's records showed she was the youngest of three girls. One older sister was a nurse, the other a high school teacher. Her father was an accountant; her mother had been a public school teacher. Despite her parents' ac- tive interest in education, Lin- da's school progress had been average. However, she was not doing badly, since intelligence tests rated her as "dull normal". When Linda was interviewed in Grade 9, I'd noted she was eager to please, but timid. She was an "over -achiever" — one who does better work than her mental ability would suggest she was capable of. I'd discovered she made her progress in school only by dint of exceptionally long home study. When I sent for Linda, her nails were bitten to the quick; her face bore a haggard, down- cast expression. So anxious was she for help, she did not hesi- tate to discuss family relation - snips, Her parents had determined to provide each of the children with as good an education as their finances could stand. The two older girls had lived up to ex- pectations; the parents were jus- tifiably proud of them. They could not hide their disappoint- ment at Linda's relative lack of achievement. They kept urging her to study harder. And they were ashamed she attended vo- cational school, instead of a col- legiate. Linda, unable to take any pride in her school accom- plishments, felt guilty and re- jected — because her parents expected her to follow exactly in her sisters' footsteps. I thought of Edna, who knew that her father preferred her older sister. Marilyn, because' she was prettier and more tal- ented in music. Edna did not bite her fingernails. She vented her emotions through petty thievery,'which landed her in a family court. 1 thought of Jimmy, potential- ly a brilliant scholar. He neglec- ted school work in a vain effort to become a star athlete, as his older brother had been, because Jimmy's father placed more im- portance on athletic prowess than school marks. Fortunately, Linda case had a happy ending. Her parents were not stupid. Led' to realize they had .been expecting too much, they relaxect! the pressure. Her marks actually increased slightly, Linda stayed at school until she completed Grade. 12, then went to work in an office, She is still not a quick or original thinker, but she is neat, painstaking, loyal. Her work is appreciated; she is happy. Not all children are as fortu- nate. Edna grew into a bitter, vindictive woman, looking on .ttte world with a cold, hostile eye, Jimmy realizes now he should have stayed in school, in- stead of dropping out in disk). pointment because his athletic ambitions failed, Children need the constant love and confidence of their par- ents, If the parents openly prefer one child to another, if they fail to recognize that each child is an individual with his own strength and his own weaknesses, if they try to force their own standards of accomplishment on the child, the results may be disastrous. Linda's parents failed to ap- preciate their youngest daugh- ter's many excellent qualities of character, while expecting her to excel one — academic ach- .:.CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING .: .

U6.1.t3rursels; ) ric Mlunroe, Seaforth, In Alaska They Make Apple Ple Without Apples It was the monthly potluck' meeting of our Homesteaders - Ott -Acquainted Club. The din- ner table was filled with ape - 'deities from the various mem- bers. As it was harvest time here in the fertile Matanuska Valley of Alaska, most recipes were based on the crops most abun- dant in each home garden. As cabbage grows so well and is so sweet and tender, it was used in a number of ways. There was cole slaw, cabbage roll -ups, and creamed cabbage with cheese. Vegetable salads contain- ing fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cu- cumbers, and green peppers were especially enjoyed by peo- ple to whom such things are luxuries except for a few months each summer. There were dishes containing other vegetables which grow so rapidly and well during the long summer days—beans, peas, car- rots, onions, rutabagas, celery, turnips radishes, beets, a n d spinach. Fragrant rolls and loaves of bread proved that most of these women who regularly bake their own bread, have learned the knack of obtaining tasty, crusty, tender loaves. The many types of berries available i n the woods were dis- played in their many uses: raw cranberry relishes, raspberries in gelatine, blueberries, straw- berries, and currants. The jams and jellies we serve often con- tain juice of the wild rose hips which Alaskan homemakers are urged to utilize. In the center of the table were two luscious pies. Oranges, ap- ples, and other fruits flown in from the outside are available, but are not usually purchased when our berries are so plenti- ful. The one who baked the pies asked if everyone had tasted them. When the answers were all in the affirmative, she asked if they had really tasted like ap- ple pies. Everyone enthusiasti- cally assured her they were sim- ply delicious. Then she made the unbelievable statement that they had not contained a single piece of apple. Everyone was silent for a mo- ment, because each was sure that she had just finished a piece of one of the best-known des- serts. Then came the guesses. Was it mushroom pie? Many of us were learning the edible mushrooms and knew there were many uses for them. 'Was it rhubarb?" Most peo- ple couldn't even guess. She held out until the end of the meeting and then gave us each a copy of the recipe. The answer just didn't seem possible. The recipe listed crackers, boiled with sug- ar, water, cream of tartar, and cinnamon, She had heard it over the radio on a homemaker's pro- gram. As soon as I was able to ob- tain some cream of tartar, which I have "firmly resolved = to keep on hand, I tried the recipe. One taste showed me that the unbe- lievable recipe was the one she had followed in making the pies. I do not know if this is a new recipe or not, but I decided that since The Christian Science Monitor goes Into so man; homes, many in places where fresh fruits are not. readily ob- tainable, I wanted to share the recipe with my unknown friends who have shared 'their experi- ences with me, Apple Pie - Withoct Apples, 13 cup sugar 134 cup water 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon butter 13/4 teaspoon cream of tartar ' Boil for one minute Add 18 crackers, broken in half, and boil one minute more. Pour into unbaked pie shell, top with crust, and bake at 400 de- grees until brown. , Go ahead, try It once, just for fun! Margaret Behnkein, In The Christian Science Monitor. An Experiment in Reading Out of an experiment in Gal- latin, Tenn., comes at least one solution to the problem of getting children to read—a problem that concerns many parents and leads to such frequent criticism of the schools. In Gallatin, the Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company spent $10 for a rack and $200 for chil- dren's books, then tacked up a sign inviting employees to take home the books and read them to their children. As many fathers as mothers— many women are employed in the company's two Tennessee plants — take the books home. The result has been fantastic. Children nctually desert radio and TV to be read to aloud. The employees, some of whom had never done much reading them- selves, now want books for ad- ults stocked, too. Gilbert W. Chapman, president of the company and chairman of the National Book Committee, tells about the experiment in the December Harper's. His finding is the same as that of many of today's parents and grandparents who were brought up in homes where reading aloud was com- monplace. In such homes it is not unusual for a toddler of two, the moment either father or mother sits down, to trot to them with one of his little picture books and his mis- pronounced command: "Weed." These families have found that youngsters thus encouraged learn to read before they are of schbol age, and form reading habits that last through life, broadening their horizons and affording-tin- told ffording-t n'told pleasure. - - - From experiences like these and 'the experiment in Gallatin, the conclusion seems inescapable that the responsibility for teach- ing children to read lies along- side so many others — in the lap of the parents. — Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. SOLVED Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was often pestered by people think- ing he could solve every crime in England. A woman at dinner one night annoyed him greatly. "Sir Ar- thur, do tell me the solution, Mysterious thefts at my home disturb me. Only last week there were taken a broom, a box of golf -balls, a left riding boot, a dictionary and six tinplates."

Love from your new mother," The American soldier serving in Japan gasped with astonish- ment as he read the name at the end of the telegram. It was from his fiancee! just another example of how young love can have its upsets. When one Buffalo, New York, wife packed her bags and went home to mother, her .husband followed her and walked up and down outside the house carry- ing signs proclaiming, "I love you, Jeanette," and, "Come back and live like a human being.", The notices failed to do the trick;. so he offered her money -- still without success. Three teenagers were recently charged wilt arson at Savage, Maryland. They were all sweet on the daughter of the head fire- man and strongly resented being ejected from the house by him. So they bit upon the idea of , setting fire to an indoor race track, reasoning that the fire would keep him busy for some time, thus enabling them to pro- long their stay at his house! The scheme worked; but they lived to regret it by languishing in jail. A Tokyo court recently sent- enced a glamorous Japanese girl to four years in jail for killing her lover with a .kiss. She held a farewell tryst with her boy friend at a hotel. It was his Idea that they should break up • "I would rather die than lose you!" she declared, and so saying took a swig from a bottle of soda water laced with cyanide. ners of a corn -meal sprinkled baking sheet.

Instead he flicked a lighted match through her window, When she ignored him complete- ly he felt so spurned that he flung five more lighted matches through the window and even. tually set fire to the poor girl's room, She was burned, but only slightly, and he hopes to get out of jail by the time she is dis- charged from hospital. -- When her husband, whose weekly wage is $55, is in prison, a Massachusetts woman receives around $85 a week in relief money, After he had been jailed many times the authori- ties discovered that his wife regularly plied him with drink to ensure that he was frequently arrested! Death was the outcome of a quarrel beween a Montreal couple, They had a difference about the sale of some furniture from the home, whereupon she challenged her husband to a duel, "Don't be silly!" he countered. But that evening when he stepped off the bus near their home she walked out of the sha- dows and 'shot him' dead, She then' turned the gun on herself, but only succeeded in inflict- ing a minor flesh wound. LANGUAGE Two students from a Canadian college who made a motor tour of the United States last summer report that their blazers seemed to arouse some curiosity among the people they met. The blazers bear the college's Latin motto, Timor Del principium sapientiae —"The fear of the Lord is the beginninE, of wisdom," The curiosity was explained when an Oklahoma waitress asked them: "Where are you -all from?" "Canada," they answered. "Oh, I see," said the girl. "I've been wondering what language that was." Europe's Rich Flock To Swiss Alps By ROSETTE HARGROVE NEA Staff Correspondent Paris — (NEA) — The chin- chilla - and - diamond contingent are off on their migration to Swtzerland for the winter sports season. For where else can they forget international tensions, gasoline restrictions and heating problems? Where else can - they display their mink -lined sports , coats, last- minute skiing clothes, Dior gowns and diamond necklaces? Reports from St. Moritz and Gstaad, the ultra -smart winter resorts, indicated Switzerland has open arms for the gay band of moneyed European aristoc- racy as well as all the others who can afford winter vacations to the tune of around $200 a day, It cost's a small fortune to spend a couple of weeks indulg- ing in these high-level frolics, but the smart set is never both- ered by such considerations. St. Moritz's swank Palace Hotel is booked to capacity with a large sprinkling of Italian princes and other bluebloods, as well as movie stars and people whose only claim to fame is their fortune. A celebrity -stud- ded champaigne ball is the crowning event of the holidays. Over 500 people applied for tickets which cost a mere $20 — without champaigne. The millionaire's New Year fancy dress party is restricted to 100 life members of the Cor- viglia Ski Club — the most ex- clusive in Europe, Its guests in- clude the beautiful sisters, Tina Onassis and Wugenia Niarchos, wives of the Greek shipping multi -millionaires, The Winter Palace Hotel at Gstaad, partonized by the Bri- tish aristocracy as well as by Ali Khan and Douglas Fair- banks, has trebled .the size of its bar, which is the only place where feminine "enthusiasts" can afford to be seen. They change their clothes three times a day and seldom, if ever, put on a pair of skis orget out in the dazzling white snow before sundown. But the less spectacular and far less expensive Swiss moun- tain resorts are expecting a rec- ord season, too. It is estimated that Switzerland has spent a good three million dollars on improvements to attract en- thusiasts. The complete paradise for the winter sports tourist in the moderate income bracket is the WINTER MECCA IN THE ALPS — In St. Moritz, a sprinkling of princes and bluebloode and people with nothing but mons y. BUT DON'T go near. the slopes! This mink -collared astrakhan, with mink -and -diamond turban, is resort wear by Heim, little hamlet of Samnaun. It lies beyond the easternmost ranges of the Lower Engadine and is reached by a breath -taking scenic road cut in the mountain. Apart from its picturesque- ness, Samnaun is one of the few spots in Europe where Ameri- can cigarettes are cheaper than in the U.S. Also there are no. customs duties. Up to now, high-level high life has not yet hit this peace- ful valley where a modest but perfectly comfortable hotel will cost the tourist from $2.50 to $3.50 a day for room and full board. Samnaun .Is definitely not the kind of place where ,the de luxe holiday collection of furs and evening gowns recently shown by Jacques Heim are likely to be seen. But items like titese will be seen at the plushler resorts: A "sweater -girl" after - ski. outfit of dark brown tights and. decollected blouse worn with a full bright yellow wool skirt mid topped by n hooded wind- breaker jacket in white Chinese lamb. "Gem -dresses" in sumptuous silks or velvets—sapphire, ruby,. emerald or dazzling diamond - white, topped by the most lux- urious coast and capes of wild RI. white mink, brondtnil, astrak- han lined with mink or ermine. An enormous white silk tur- bnn reminiscent of Maroon el Rnschid with n huge diamond sunburst pin in front, Among the more simple numhel:s—a scarlet Chinese lamb coat with. pointed "whirling eervish" tur- ban In the same fur. No wonder the wealthy rem sorters rarely get to put on skis.. Rabbit Hunting - No Kid's Game Rabbit hunting is something that a fellow usually does when there's nothing else to do. Nine times out of ten he goes rabbit hunting in the late fall or winter, preferably when there is a slight snow cover on the ground, And nine times out of the same ten he Is much more .successful at rabbit hunting than at any other type of hunt- ing that he may do. Take my own case, for in- stance. My hunting companion of late is a slow riser, He would, prefer to hear the singing of the birds and the sharp beams of the sun in his face as he arises from bed in the mornings, and sometimes it's quite a tussle to get him out in time to get in on the good hunting. And' late in the pheasant sea- son last fall, when the birds were getting harder to find than teeth in a hen's mouth, I sug- gested a rabbit hunt. "Rabbits," he snorted! "Why nobody hunts them except kids. Forget it!" As it turned out he had never bothered to hunt rabbits before in his life, and had no intention of starting at that stage of the game. But after a few minutes of persuasion,he consented to give it a try -but only on a trial basis. "If I don't like it," he said, "and I won't, we'll just give it up and spend our time ',writing for something that is fun to hunt." On the strength of that I called a farmer friend and arranged to hunt the next day. That night it snowed. Not heavily, just a half-inch or so, but just enough to make it per- fect rabbit hunting. And about an hour before daybreak I used a crowbar to get him out of the sack and we headed for rakbit country. Rabbit country -- that's anyplace in Nebraska where there is some slight cover and nearby food. Just as the sun came peeking over a wind-swept hill, we parked the car by a mile -long, brush -covered draw and hopped out to investigate. The head of the draw looked like the rabbits had been holding a camp meeting there.

After assuring him that there was a strong possibility of en- countering Mr. Cottontail, he agreed to give the draw a try. At first we saw no game, We must have walked at least a hundred yards before the first cottontail hopped up and blasted oft through the trees and brush. "Bang .. zing , , crack!" Three .22 slugs went whipping into the snow around the rabbit's flying feet, but none of them connec- ted, and the bunny went in mad leaps out of sight into a large patch of weeds. Well, to shorten this tale down a little, as the man said when he applied a knife to the puppy's posterior, we finally got to hit- ting some of the flying bits of fur.. On further down the draw rabbits were jumping out on all sides of us ... behind us after we had passed by places were we thought no rabbits could have hidden . , , right beside us as we crashed our way through the weeds and brush . , . and far out in front as they were scared up by our clumsy feet. It was, a day to remember, By noon we had four rabbits each, more than enough for our small fam- ilies, so we called it quits. We, had missed dozens of shots apiece, but we were exhilarated from a hunt in which game was extremely plentiful, all the shooting a hunter could ask for, and some meat to bring home to the cooks. And speaking of cooks, that was the part of the proceedings that really swung my friend around to rabbit hunting. We gathered our dependents around a communal board that evening for a small feast, and it was a sight to behold. The rabbits had been• fried un- til nearly done, then switched to a stew skillet to steam for awhile ' in a barbecue sauce of sorts, The sauce had as its main ingredient tomato paste, but a sprinkle of garlic had been ad- ded, as well as chili powder, celery salt, letnonjuice and a slice or two of onion. The newly -born rabbit hunter pushed his plate ,back at last with a sigh like; a broken bel- lows, rapped d"`knuckle on his oldest boy's head for:silence, and announced in a formal manner that would have done credit to an elder statesman, "Friends, I want to say here and now that this is the best eating I ever had in my life ... following one of the most enjoyable hunts that I have ever had ... and, 1 just want to say for all to hear that I can now be classed as a rab- bit hunter. Thank you. After considerable ceremony the rabbit-eatipg meeting was adjourned, but I'm looking for- ward to the first snow. I'm ex- pecting a call from a certain EX -hater of rabbit hunting.

"Si, Senor, but the Gable he died in that," "Look here, I don't-" "I tried to show another Gable film after that," went on the Ven- ezuelan. "And what happen? Hell broke loose.

WELL, 1 SWAN! - A clean-up lob that's also a life-saving opera- tion is being performed on this once snow-white swan by Dr, Max Heinz Sy, right, noted German bird expert at the R.S.P.C.A. in London, England. Swan was one of hundreds soaked with oil when a barge sank near them. More than 100 of the birds died before aid reached them, Tll}FMN FROM J069=41 Rt. Hon. James G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture, has an- nounced that a program of area testing and eradication of Bru- cellosis disease ofcattle will be entered into by his Department. Brucellosis, or Bang's Disease, is a bacterial infection causing abortions and breeding ditiicul- ties in cattle. Losses from it are estimated to cost Canadian cat- tlemen nine million dollars an- nually. Brucellosis infection in cattle is responsible for undu- lant fever in humans, both being caused by the same organism. Procedure will follow the pat- tern which has been applied suc- cessfully in the virtual eradica- tion of tuberculosis from Cana- dian cattle. An area will be ac- cepted under the program on the recommendation of a provincial department of agriculture. All susceptible cattle in the area will be tested and infected animals will be disposed of, with com- pensation paid to the owners. A joint federal -provincial pol- icy of calf vaccination against brucellosis has been in effect since 1050. This, along with sev- eral provincial control programs, is considered to have reduced the incidence of the disease to the point where a national pro- gram of testing and eradication isnow feasible. In addition to reducing losses from the disease, the move will strengthen the position of Cana- dian cattle exporters in foreign markets which increasingly are requiring freedom from' brucel- losis in cattle imports., Operating procedures are now being drafted' and the program will be in effec1,in 1957. .,, • • • Various seedling, stem and root diseases afflict the oat crop. One of these, a root disease us- ually referred to as common• rootrot, is caused by the fungus, Fusarium culmorum, or related species, states P. M. Simmonds, Oflirer-in-Charge, Canada De- partment of Agriculture. • Common rootrot in oats was once a rather serious disease but the newer varieties appear to have considerable resistance. No doubt this 'resistance was ob- tained • by ,the plant breeder through the stringent selection of the best lines during trials for yields. Past experience in disease control, however, has shown that new, more virulent forms of the fungus, causing . the disease may appear, and. so it is important for the grower to' be able to recognize common rootrot so that. cntrot measures 'can be taken promptly.. • * r The common rootrot fungi not only attack the roots but any part of the oat plant, They live in the soil or on the seed. Con- • sequently seed and seedling blights may occur from seed that has become contaminated. in such cases the grower will note poor, uneven emergence of the crop in the spring and many blighted seedlings. In later stages of plant growth, infections from fungi living in the soil or on contaminated seed usually in- vade the crown or adjacent plant tissues. 'Once a plant is infected the diseased area per- sists indefinitely. Whether it en- larges rapidly causing serious injury to the plant depends on weather conditions. • • • There appears to be severe in- jury following periods of warm weather and a shortage of mois- ture in the soil. Alternate spells of dry weather and heavy rain- fall es the crop starts maturing increases common rootrot dam- age. The injury may show as bleached dead tillers on many plants, but careful examination of the crowns for signs of rot is necessary for complete identifi- cation of the disease. In slight and moderate cases the extent of injury cannot be determined readily until yields are available at harvest time. Occasionally ` plants will be. killed by a severe invasion of the crown, They die early and are easily seen scattered here and there through the still green crop. • • Complete control of this di- sease is almost impossible be- cause these fungi may be carried in the seed and are commonly found in most soils. If seed treat- ment is necessary, and this can only be determined after care- ful examination by a pathologist, any of the fungicides ,used for smut control should be satisfac- - tory. Rotation of cereal crops with non -cereal crops where practicable may help, together with good cropping methods for the district concerned, and the maintenance of soil fertility. What Do You Know about Bread? A product which had its ori- gin thousands of years ago is to- day providing a livelihood for thousands of Canadians and food for millions of others. In 1954, .the last year for which figures are available, the factory selling price of bread in Canada was $173,000,000, The same year Canadians consumed 1,500,000,000 pounds of bread -= an increase from 900,000,000 pounds in 1938. l'n the post-war years the con- sumption of bread for every man, woman and child in Canada has been slightly more than 100 pounds. In spite of the food value of bread, most Canadians know little about it. They drop in at the corner bakery for a loaf, or have it delivered to their homes wthout a thought about the story behnd the loaf they buy. For the first 10,000 years of bread's existence it was unleav- ened -- a solid cake of crushed gtain with water, salt and per- haps fat added. Leavened bread originated in Egypt only 6,000 years ago. The story goes that bread was baked in the same community factory where beer was brewed. Then one day a bakery employee snitched a brewing trough for his kneading andaccidently mixed brewers' yeast with the dough - the re- sult, leavened bread. In mediaeval England white tread was reserved by law for royalty, nobility and the clergy, The great middle class ate bread made of mixed white and whole wheat flour, Third-grade bread, with all the bran in it, was "for servants, slaves and the inferior type of people to feed upon," Everyone owes a debt of grati- tude to John Montagu, a man torn between his loves_ for food and gambling. One day, hungry but unwilling to interrupt his game, he had a servant place a slice of meat between two slices of. bread, Thus was born an invention which perpetuates the name of John Montagu, fourth Earl of Sandwich. Early Canadian and Alaskan gold prospectors were called. sourdoughs because they saved a small piece of dough from each successive baking. The dough became sour as time went on but, mixed with water, it be- came the leaven for a new batch of bread, For years nutritionists urged people to eat whole wheat bread. Yet white bread remained the top seller. As far as we know, enrichment of white bread (ad- ding vitamins, iron and non-fat milk) now means that white bread.hcs all the nutritional ad- vantages of whole wheat. For a fairly active man aged 25, of average height and weight, six slices of enriched bread will supply 21 per cent of the iron he should have daily, 16 per cent of the calcium, 19 per cent of the protein, 22 per cent of the thiamine and 20 per cent of the niacin. On Writing Essays Down with essay contests, say high school principals. Of 200 principals who gave their views in a survey made by their nation- al association, only two found any merit in many national com- petitions to determine which stu- dent can write the best essay about politics, patriotism, pickles or what have you. The high school principals find these contests lead to dishonesty. Some students would submit un- blushingly, as their own, an es- say on honesty which had been written by Ralph Waldo Emer- son or Adla! Stevenson. One girl a few years ago won a national contest in this way and the plagiarism was not disclosed un- til she had gone to Washington to receive the award. Most of the dishonesty in essay contests isn't this raw. But frequently essay contestants will appropriate a lot of material without credit- ing it to its author. In essay contests, students write to please sponsors and judges. If the pickle people spon- sor the cbntest, the students ex- toll pickles even though they may be allergic to them. Con- tests are not likely to promote critical thinking. They just put a premium on hypocrisy. Essay contests also put an in- tolerable burden on judges, Most of the essays are just plain awful. The remedy for this is not to have more essay contests. But the quality of essays might im- prove if there were more of the essay writing tests In classrooms, where students are on their own, and fewer of "right or wrong" tests which are so much easier to correct -and easier to read, too, Des Moines Register. UMY SCIIOOL LESSON By Rev. R. Barclay Warren R.A,, 8,0. Needs that Jesus Meets Matthew 9:1-13 Memory Selection: Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiv- en thee. Matthew 9:2. Four kind men had borne the palsied man to Jesus, Jesus dealt with his greatest need first. He said, "Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee." Then he healed him of the palsy. The critics could see that the man was healed. To many it confirmed the fact that he had the power to forgive sins. Some people need medical attention, some need better hous- ing, some need better food, but all need the forgiveness of sins. When people receive that for- giveness other benefits follow. The new birth gives a new out- look, Wherever the gospel goes, hospitals, slum clearance, health education and the like soon fol- low.. The Gospel is indeed Good News in itself and the forerun- ner of other good. The next act of Jesus was to call Matthew from the receipt of custom. Matthew, who later gave us a gospel record, was collecting from his own people for the hated Roman govern- ment. One can understand why he and all his fellow Publicans were despised by the Jews gen- erally. It was a daring thing for Jesus to take a recruit from this group and choose him to be one of the twelve men to accom- pany him. Certainly it wouldn't help his prestige with the re- ligious leaders, But Jesus was the Friend of sinners. He went to Matthew's home and ate with his friends, the Publicans and sinners. When criticized for it he said, "They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick." Jesus did not cater to social snobbery. He loved the rich young ruler and 'sought to win .him. He loved the thief on the cross. He loved everybody and still does. Jesus is the Friend of sinners. He does not stoop to sin but he stoops to lift the sin- ner. He has power to break every chain of sin that binds. Jesus Christ can meet your every need. • Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking 0 OE ©©©D C3 CI tf ©Ed©' ©iUD�E- ©OQ, ©d1J� ©v ti v ElE li©d OW Moon ©Ob ©©d0 ©aid© ©YE© ©ti ©O d ©©E©©r BOB MOM HOWE 0©o b MOM OW ©oO NEMO min Myr! ®fie© Roil V 0 0 0 SCHOLAR'S LITTLE HELPERS - 1Whr1s-year -old .:..;.P:-whi,.wll.-.0i.p.'p."
