Let's Avoid Stress Too many executives look upon life as the Norseman did upon heaven: the time was to be passed' in daily battles, with magical healing of wounds. Everyone in our western civil. ization has to meet demands on his nervous energy that were not made in former years, The farmer, looked upon as living the most tranquil of lives, has economic, social and politi- cal problems of which his grand- father was ignorant. The doc- tor and the lawyer have clients pressing at their office doors, and are conscious that others need them elsewhere, Teachers have the task of maintaining discipline in a brood more rest- less than ever before. Stenog- raphers, typing so many words a minute; operators of calculat- ing and accounting machines, with an unending flow of papers to process; factory hands en- gaged in countless operations; bank tellers meeting the wants of customers with flawless ac- curacy; everyone is working un- der conditions that strain the physical, mental and emotional structure built during ages of evolution. Nor in our immediate envir- onment all that counts, From radio reports that accompany breakfast to the late night news we are under the pressure of baffling world difficulties. We nue exposed to tension, expect- ing some new crisis. We need to teke what precau- tions we can if we expect to keep mentally and physically tit. Our failure to do so will show itself with all its unfortu- nate consequences in the doctor's office or a hospital bed, Keeping fit is not simply a matter of taking physical exer- cise, though that is important. It concerns both mind and body. It requires that we ease the stress of living. Dr. Hans Selye, Director of the Institute of Experimental Medicine and Surgery at the Fashion Note University of Montreal, has put forward a concept of stress that has been called "the greatest single contribution to the realm of biology and medicine since. Pasteur," * * * He suggests that every di- sease, every accident and every emotional upset produces stress in the victim. The body becomes alarmed by the stress and tries to defend itself. The endocrine glands pour out hormones, the heart beats faster, the liver in- creases its supply of glycogen, the blood pressure rises, and the activity of many internal organs is suspended so that their energy may be diverted to the external muscles. We, like our primitive ancestors, become tensed for fight or flight. Improper mental states can cause trouble in our physical make-up. A publication of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company says that fifty per cent of all people seeking medical at- tention are suffering from ail- ments brought about or made worse by such emotional factors as prolonged worry, anxiety, or fear, In fact, out of a thousand diseases described in a textbook of medicine, it is said that emo- tionally induced illness is as common as all the other 999 put together. How we think has a definite effect on how we feel. We trans- late our woes from the language of the mind into the language of the body, Whatever we allow to affect our minds in the way of pain or pleasure, hope or fear, extends its influence to our hearts. Fin- ancial worries, a monotonous job, strain at the office, emo- tional upsets in the home: these, and many more, may show themselves physically as high blood pressure, digestive ail- ments such as peptic ulcer and colitis, headache, skin disorders and some allergies. But you cannot go into a drug store and buy a bottle of psy- chosomatic medicine. The first thing to do when you feel unwell is to have your doc- tor give you a thorough check- up. He will learn from his tests and his questions whether there is something organically wrong, and how much of your illness is derived from emotional sources. Finding the cause is the first step on the way to cure. From the Royal Bank of Canada "Monthly Letter." Modern Etiquette. s . Q. When passing the plate for a second helping, should one hold the knife and fork in the hand or place them on the table? A. Neither, The knife and fork should be left on the plate. Q. When two men and two women attend a theatre, in what order should they enter the row in which their seats are situated? A. It is now customary and acceptable for the two women to be seated next to each other.. So, one of the men enters the row first, followed by the two women, and then the second man. Q. Does the father of a widow or divorcee, who is marrying for the second time, give her away? A. Yes; her father gives her away precisely as he did at the first marriage. And her family again assumes the expenses of the wedding, unless she prefers to meet them herself. Q. Even if the wedding is to be a very small, Informal one, would it be all right for the bride to wear a white bridal veil? A. Yes, provided, of course, it is not her second marriage. • NO WOODEN EXPRESSION HERE — Famed French comedian Maurice Chevalier bestows congratulations on his "double" at a Paris theater after the marionette did an impressive imitation of him in Vitorio Podrecca's puppet show, A tape-recorded voice helped the little fellow do hte takeoff, "MONA" — A 20th Century version of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is Maria Lea.

Wr3t TABLE TAIJtS. 1 I�It��r--1�LI'ft if Jam Andrews. Most glamorous and talked - about of all desserts is probably Baked Alaska. And yet, al- though it appears elaborate, it is simple to make. It takes only care and courage, It consists of a flat piece of cake, hard ice cream containing no water ice but made of milk and cream, and a simple meringue. For a 1 -layer oblong pound cake, use a quart brick of ice cream. Make a meringue of 3 egg whites and 6 tablespoons sugar. Preheat oven to 475°- 500° F. The cake should extend about 1 inch beyond the ice cream on all sides and meringue should cover the edges of the cake. To assemble, place waxed paper on an oven board, lay cake on paper, top with ice cream, cover meringue and bake until delicately brown. For unusual Individual Alas- kas, omit the cake and use drained pineapple slices for your base. PINEAPPLE ALASKA 6 slices drained, chilled pine- apple 3 eggs whites, room tempera- ture 6 tablespoons sugar 1 to 11/4 pints vanilla ice cream Place pineapple slices on board. Beat egg whites until they stand in peaks; add sugar slowly while beating until stiff and glossy. Quickly place very firm ice cream in center of each pine apple slice. Immediately cover completely with meringue out to the very edges of pine- apple. Place in preheated 475° F. oven and bake 4-5 minutes or until a delicate brown. Take from oven and place immediate- ly on a chilled serving dish or tray or ori individually dessert plates. Garnish - with whole strawberries and mint leaves or any other colorful fruit. Serve at once. A modern variation of the Alaska, uses pudding or custard instead of ice cream for the center. This is the method for making it: * * * PUDDING ALASKA 2 cups cold milk 1 package strawberry instant pudding mix Dash of salt Loaf cake, 9x5x3 inches (angel food, yellow, white or chocolate) 2 egg whites , -VI cup sugar Pour milk into mixing bowl; add pudding mix and salt and beat slowly with egg beater just until well mixed, about 1 min- ute. Do not nverbeat or mix- ture will be thin. Let stand to set — takes about 5 minutes. Place loaf cake on a wooden board.

CROWNED AGAIN — Comely May Louise Flodin, of Gothen- burg, Sweden, seemed destined to wear a beauty queen's 'crown. A while ago she was crowned "Miss World". Now she's the "International Art ''Queen", after winning a con- test at Cypress Gardens. Odd Grounds For Divorce When a U,S, Army private" re- cently sued his wife, a .lieuten- ant in the American Army, for a divorce on the ground of cruelty, he told the court that he had to stand to attention every morn- ing when his wife came down to breakfast. Strange ground for divorce, you might say, but by no means the oddest on record, A Wilmington, Del, husband liked white mic'b; his wife hated them. She filed a suit for di- vorce. Her husband promptly reacted by stuffing one of the white mice down her neck, laughing uproariously. He then snatched out a hand- ful of hair, dragged her outside into the street, and punched her on the nose, At that point a neighbour hit the husband on the arm with a chair to induce him to release the woman. A Hastings man obtained a divorce when he proved in court that his wife had been using his short-wave transmitter to send amorous messages to a man who was also a radio "ham." One day while travelling to business her husband accidentally tuned in to his own wavelength, and learned of the intrigue. A seventy -one -year-old man recently sued his seventy -year- old wife for divorce on the ground that she refused to let him go to church because there were too many pretty girls ii the choir. A woman sought legal separa- tion from her artist husband be- cause of the murals he painted in their villa in Turin, Italy, She said the murals depicted her and her mother drowning while Noah, in the person of her hus- band, grinned down at them from the Ark. In a Pittsburg divorce case, John Berger told the judge that he was willing to put up with his wife, Anna, smoking a corncob pipe in bed, but when she turned to Italian cigars it was just too much, A Los Angeles woman suc- ceeded in obtaining a divorce when her husband refused to kiss her because he thought kis- sing unhygienic. A Miami restaurant owner ap- plied for a divorce because every time he asked his wife to cook ,something for him she suggested that he should go and eat in his own restaurant. ' During recent divorce pro- ceedings in Paris, M. Claude told the court that his wife had only one fault -.-she would persist In stalking about the house all day long " without a stitch on her back, A Los Angeles wife obtained a divorce from her husband be- cause he put the following extra- ordinary advertisement in sever-' al newspapers: "Man, fifty-three, old car, no looks, • no job, no qualities, no money, no hero, no nothing, seeks congenial companion to, go places and do things in the pur- suit of happiness." Another American woman di- vorced her husband on the ground that he had only married her in order to win a wager con- sisting- of two quart bottles of whi§ky. In Detroit, a clergyman sought to divorce his wife because she consistently failed to dust the family Bible. Mrs, Lela Diepenbrock, of St, Louis, won her case when she told the judge that on telling her husband that she could no longer live with him, he replied; "In that case we must share out everything fairly." And so he sawed all the furniture in half. Finally, we have the classic case of Mrs. Pauline Actor, of Brisbane, Australia. She sued her husband for divorce because he insisted that his former sweet- heart, together with several of his relatives, should accompany them on their honeymoon. ROAD BLOCK The runner ran into nig Ted Kluszewski at first base, and was subsequently removed to the locker room for first .aid, The trainer, who had been working on a previous casualty, looked up at him. "How," he asekd, "did you get that tremendous black eye?" "I was hit by a guided mus- cle," winced the victim. r Giant Conveyor Belt To Move A Mountain A highspeed conveyor system will,move a mountain two miles across a valley and drop it in Great Salt Lake. The conveyor, largest ever built in terms of ton -miles per hour, is ready to operate at Little Valley. It will carry 30 million tons of gravel fill to construct a 13 -mile roadbed across the lake. l'he roadbed will replace a 52 -year-old railroad trestle mounted on wooden piles. The 49-milliondollar project will be complete in 1960. The conveyor system consists of two main cross•country conveyor units plus 11 smaller ones, providing continuous flow from mountain to lake. Electric shovels gouge out gravel in eight - cubic -yard bites. It is trucked to a dumping station, dropped Into hoppers that feed the conveyor. At conveyor's end, gravel is transferred to a stacker capable of building a 250,000 -ton storage pile 70 feet high. tinder the storage pile are two 72 -inch wide, 600-feet-a•minute conveyors in tunnels. These feed the gravel to 3,000ton barges, largest drop -bottom barges ever built. Barges dump the gravel on the lake bottom. Photos below illustrate the operation. Main - line conveyor carries gravel (4.200 tons an hour) from mountain to storage pile, where it is then . . . stockpiled by the radial stacker seen at top. Gravel is with- drawn from stockpile by' con- veyors,in tunnel below. From ° ° . . conveyor it drops into barges 200 feet long by 50 feet wide. Conveyors can load a 3,000 -ton barge in 15 minutes. Spare Man On A Bowling Team Although strong men have cowered and ladies fainted at my manly physique, I am not primarily noted as an athlete, But I do think the night I beat the All Stars should go down in history, comparable, at least, to the time I was playing left field and made a put-out at home plate. These two events, togeth- er, should assure me some fame in the annals of sport.. The fact that these noteworthy achievements took place in the minor leagues, so to speak, should not detract from their significance. The baseball event, alone, is a world's record never even attempted in any league. I was on the high school team at the time, playing left field be- cause I had rubber boots. The man : who laid out our baseball diamond had to blast a ledge away from the shortstop posi- tion, . and he used up all the ap- propriation before he got into the outfield, A boiling spring came from under the ledge, and It exuded into left, Playing left field was just a token position, because it was so hard to field a ball out there the teams had a gentlemen's agreement nobody would hit there, and if by acci- dent anybody did, the advance was limited to two bases, So I was standing out there ankle deep when Red Peaks came up to bat. He hit a Balti- more chop and our infield be- came confused. There was a good deal of throwing around, and we had him in three separ- ate run -downs - between sec- ond and first, third and second and home and third. As he ad- vanced, slowly but surely, it seemed wise to me to come in and lend a hand. Thus the play went from 4 to 3 tol to 3 to 4 to 5 to 3 to 2 to 6 to 4 to 3 to 6, etc., etc., and finally to me, and I tagged Red out as he slid home. It was not only an unusual play, but it was exciting to • watch, and the crowd enjoyed it. They continued to cheer and laugh long alter the play was completed, and now and again they would subside and go limp until somebody guffawed again, and then they would go off into another round of hilarity. For a time it was a famous incidnt, but after I was graduated and went into other pursuits people sort of forgot about it. Of late years my athletic in- terests have been confined to cribbage, popping corn, and shaking condiments on my meat. But recently 1 decided I was get- ting flabby and out of trim, so I undertook being secretary of our community bowling league. This gets me to the bowling alley one night a week, but the job is. en- tirely clerical. I have to keep individual sheets on each bowl- er, compute averages, and show total pinfall and high scores. I took the job because nobody wnnted it, and I felt the frater- ' nal aspects of the bowling league shouldn't be peopardized by bit - or -miss records. The casualty rate in secretaries had been high. Some men had to give up the job because they moved out of town, and some moved out of town so they could give up th job, There is no emolument, but there is the happy consolation that one is contributing to a good felrowship. The bowling league brings to- gether every walk of life in our town, in bantering good will and in friendly competition. It was my feeling that by taking over the scoring I might protect the worthwhile aspects of the assn - elation from foundering for lack of computation,. But I am not much of a bowl- er, They tell me I have a smooth delIyery, excellent form, and a natural follow-through of good quality. I would make high scores if I could just hit the pins. In my official capacity I am not on the roster of any team, but if • some . regular bowler has to be out of town or for another rea- son defaults, I sometimes stand in for him and see what I can do, I enjoy. this. And the other night the team from the Wor- umbo Mill lacked a member, be- cause Johnny Galgovich was working three to eleven. Upon ,due application I was prevailed upon to substitute for him. The Worumbo team was match ed, that evening, against the All • Stars. The All Stars have been league champions more tinges than I remember off -hand, and are the team to beat. Four of their team are averaging over 100 --and as we bowl candlepins with the three small balls this is a most satisfactory average and should not be compared with the misleading figures of the much easier game where they bowl two balls with bottle - pins. The captain of the Worum- ho team, when asking me to bowl with them, explained that they had no chance of winning anyway, and the evening would be little more than a cruel slaughter, But you can't tell about me. The spark was' struck. It wasn't my bowling, because I got my customary 78 the first string, but it must have been my radiant personality and my bonhomie. The other members of the Wor- umbo team began knocking down pins they didn't even hit. Nothing was wrong. One lad managed to beat down six spares in a row, and after the third one his eyes were glazed and he was tottering with emotion. He would hit off to one side and get just as many pins. His score ran up like the cash register at a meat counter, and the Ali Stars be- came visibly dismayed. The All Stars were hitting precisely, beautifully, perfectly. But nothing much happened. The more they tried, the better they bowled, and the poorer their score. In the end they all went home without saying goodnight, hardly, and seemed to be. sad. They congratulated us, but their hearts were not in it. And in the record book, it shbws that I bowled on the winning team. I inked it in a little heavily, to emphasize it, because I felt it was an important item, and since I•am secretary I felt it was up to me to dotit.-Bv John .Gould in The Christian Science Moni- tor. .: r',.

So for your information I am passing along part of a dispatch front Boise City, Oklahoma, which will give you an idea. • . * Five years of extreme drought have left an economic scar that threatens to become as lasting as the wind -gouged erosion of this normally fertile, produc- tive country. • It is a natural disaster that has struck primarily at agriculture. But, like an octopus whipping its. tentacles out and lashing at every- thing within reach; the economic dislocation caused by the drought now threatens the un- derpinnings of this entire high plain, and even of the whole Great Plains area itself, some- ' thing like one-fifth of the area of the United States. Cattlemen, wheat growers, cotton farmers, sheep raisers all are facing economic ruin - ex- cept those fortunate few, a piti- fully small percentage, who hap- pen to be in position to tap un- derground sources of badly need- ed moisture or the few river reservoirs built in the last two or three decades by the federal government. Here in this area are concen- trated the problems of the Great Plains, aggravated by a drought now in its sixth year, The air itself is dry. It's the kind of atmosphere that keeps, wood from rotting: It dries every- thing up, Houses which have stood as landmarks on the flat- lands for more than a decade bear the marks of grinding sand blown from the earth's surface by a wind that never stops, There Is more than irony In names of Landmarks, natural and man-made. Running • Water Creek, which rises northwest of Clovis, doesn't even show any permanency on the maps, where the broken line indicates a stream that disappears almost before it gets started. Old set-' tiers along this stream don't know where it got its name. Somebody had a bitter sense of humor. "Else he, tried to -cross it in a flush flood," one old-timer sug- gests. , , But these people out here have courage, sympathy, • . determina- tion, and pride. It's different from the dust bowl days of the 1930's. There nre no ling lines of jalopies, bearing families and their few possessions westward to Califor- nia. Wes Izznrd, publisher of the Amarillo, Texas, News, recalls those days. They were going west on Highway 66 by the thousands. Cities like Amarillo, as well as small towns, could do little more than give them a meal of hot soup, some bread, maybe a gal - Inn of gasoline, a pat on the back, and send them on, The westward migration of 25 years ago was by farm tenants from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkan• sas, Misslssippl. Not all were fleeing from the drought. They were trying to get out of an economic trap of falling farm prices, no markets for their pro- ducts, and climatic reverses. They had no pride of owner- ship. Few owned anything more thaw an iron bed, coal -oil stove, a Model T Ford, and a few clothes. All they had to do was tc pile In the car and head west. Today, though, a great sociolo- gical change has taken place-. almost a revolution. More people own farms they live on, or have a big share of partnership. * 4 • "It will take more than a drought to get them off," said one local representative of the Farmers Home Administration. "These people have a courage to see its through, with a deter mination fortified by a pride of ownership that was missing in the 1930's. "And there is a sympathetic understanding for each other's problems The farmer who hap- pens to Lbe lucky enough to have flowing wells for irrigation realizes that the dryland farmer is hitting some tough years caus- ed by conditions beyond his con- trol. "And the farmer who can ir- rigate his crops knows that some- w'iere the cost of bringing that water up from deep in the ground is going to hit an econ- omic point beyond which there g'en't be any percentage In farm- ing. Then he, too, will be looking up at the skies, hoping those rain -bearing clouds get up here from the Gulf of Mexico just at the right time to run into a cold front heading south from Canada." • 4 A These people need help, but they don't want charity. Most of them have have already mort- • gaged their farms to the hilt just to take care of ordinnary running expenses. It,costs money to buy seed year after year, put it in the ground, and watch it blow away without even sprout- ing, much less taking root. And it costs plenty to have to haul in hay arid grain year after year to feed the stock. Some of the biggest landowners in the country have been selling off section after section, trying to keep themselves in business un- til the rains come. Local banks have done about all they can to keep the econ- omy from going under. They have stretched their facilities to make loans. But bank loans are made only to farmers who can show they are pretty good risks, And nobody is a good risk if he can't get moisture for his crops, or grass on the range for his stock. IIMY SCIIOOL LESSON By Itev B. Barclay Warren B.A„ B.D. Our Mission as Disciples Matthew 9:35-10:8, 24-25 Memory Selection; The har- vest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the har- vest, that he will send forth labourers into Isis harvest, Mat- thew. 9:37.38. Jesus ministered by teaching, preaching and healing. He min- istered not just from a sense of duty but because he felt for the people, He had compassion on them. But the task was too big for him alone. He urged the disciples to pray that the Lord of the harvest might send forth labourers. Some of those who attended on the ministry of Jesus came to share his vision. They saw the need and felt for the people. They prayed for God -sent lab- ourers. Twelve of these ardent souls Jesus called to himself and sent forth to help answer their prayers, They were given power to cast out unclean.spirits and to heal all manner of sick- - flys and all manner of disease. They put no price on their ser- vices. Jesus said, "Freely ye have received, freely give," He warned that they would receive persecution. Nearly all denominations are crying about this shortage of ministers. Too few are sharing the vision of the need of the people. We are too money -min- ded. The spiritual needs of people about us do not impress us deeply. We do not feel for Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking aNang 4Nv ape N© an a ibVd 1 I N©VIV CI VIM bfl a© -419 110 a0'd©BW II; ©b© Sala©1•©© a WIN WIV. 11Od )tVab©S Vd0 l - NEA a©O aWV b a .. a d CIS I ?JON la span bO. d 3M oJQ1 aAV 00 • . a0I til .L 41 8dl ©m1 co them and with them. Hence there are few called of God and sent forth. Ministers are not paid a much as those in other profes- sions where a similar period of preparation is required; They have to dress better than they can afford. But they get along. When, they have extra expense on account of such emergencies as sickness there are always appreciative parishioners who rally to their support. When ogle knows he has been called of God to the work he would not exchange it for any other. British Publisher and multi- millionaire Lord Beaverbrook said 25 years ago: "If I were in a position to influence the life of a sincere young man today, I would say to him, 'Rather choose to be an evangelist than a cabinet min- ister or a mililonaire.' When I was a young man. I pitied my father for being a poor man and a humble preacher of the Word. Now that I am older I envy his life and career." THE FEAST OF ST, SWITHIN The Feast of St. Swithin on July 15 is the familiar date because of the old legend attatched to his name, but the origin of the leg- end is perhaps not so familar. Swithin was a pious monk of Wessex, who eventually became Bishop of Winchester. He was admired and trusted by all who knew hive, and rose high in mat- ters of church and state. Never- theless he remained so humble in spirit that he asked to be bu- ried outside the cathedral, where the rain from the eaves would fall upon his grave. A later Bishop with more grandiose ideas planned to have him re -interred in a splendid and orate shrine inside the cathedral. But legend has it that on July 15 in the year 971, the day apppointed for this proceeding, the change so upset the Saint that it rained for forty days, whereupon the plan to, move his body was given up. A minor piece of folklore attached to the main legend, and .still current in some parts of Eng- land, speaks of July 15 as "the day which the apples are chris- tened," referring to the showers which may fall to help on the apples to ripeness.

FOX BOUNTY INCREASE BRINGS COMMENTS The decision of Ifuron County Coun- vil at its January Session decided to in- crease the bounty on foxes within the county from $1,00 to $2,00, has renewed a controversy among nature lovers as to whether the value of the fox alive out- weighs the fact that it might become too numono.us and as a result the in- ;rease in damage to the domeslicatea 'owl on Huron farms might take a sharp rise. Likewise there are some who maintain that urban municipalities 'lave no right- to pay fox bounty. Writing in his column in The Strat- ford Beacon-Heraold, Stafford Johnston comments as follows: "The argument put to the Council in support of the increase were that foxes have caused big losses to poultrymen, End that foxes are a danger to the health of both livestock and humans, because they niay spread rabies. "The rabies danger docs not have much to do with the number of foxes at large in the countryside, . in the op= Inion of Dr. R. M. Aldis, director of the county health unit in Huron.' There was n rabies scare all through Southern Ontario in 1956, and a wild rush for a while last fall .an the part of dog - owners, particularly farmers, to get their dogs vaccinated against rabies. The trend of the scare followed a path from north-west. to south-east across Ontario, with some cases reported of domestic animals getting rabies from the bites el wild animals, After the scare subsided, a quiet recheck showed that no cases had been reported In Huron, though' there were a total of 63 cases in Ontario last year; six of the cases, oddly, were in cattle, Dr. Aldis is inclined to think that shooting or trapping foxes would not acoamplish very much to reduce the danger of rabies. The fox population seems to be tied closely, in its ups and downs, to the food supply; if there are field trice and rabbits enough to supp:rt more foxes, the fox population cun•qu,adruple in a year. "Guessing that there might be about 200,000 foxes in the farming' country- sides of Southern Ontario — then if hunters, succeeded in killing 150,000' this year, there could still be 200,000 a year from now. "We are doubtful of the value to far- mers as a whole, of any spending of taxpayers' money to encourage the kil- ling of foxes. The damage than is done by a fox, when it gets to work in a flock of chickens on range, is obvious and easy to measure. The other side of the picture is not as obvious; no - .body ever sees, all in one piece, the hundreds of field mice that get a new lease on life whenever n fox is killed. "Naturalists from the Royal Ontario Museum have reckoned, from catalogu- ing what they ftnd in the stomachs of foxes, that more than 50 percent of the fox, in farming areas of Southern On- tario, consists of field mice; one fax In n year will destroy hundreds of field Mice. It seems to be inevitable that it we have 'fewer foxes, to kill chickens, we tire going to have mare mice chew- ing. away at the bark of young trees, end helping themselves to farm crops. "The difference between the damage acne by foxes to poultry, and the da - 'nage done by mice dna would Imo been eaten by foxes if the fox were not killed, is mostly the difference between the dentage you see and the damage you don't. "We heard the thing neatly sut nnr- Ized. once by a' fanner in the Zurich arca, after he had been listening to somebody argue for the hiring of full. M..J...N ....++++r LYCEUM THEATRE \VINGHAM.

"In all our nine years together, I never before have doubted him. But now un- certainty is tearing me apart! "There is a woman in this town who Is notorious; she has broken up two homes, and I am afraid for mine. A friend told me she has seen my husband with her downtown, but how can I prove it? He denies he even knows her. "I admit that when I am up- set, I accuse him 'of having an affair, but it is his own fault - 'wbere there's smoke there's fire,' etc. He has not changed toward me, he is as loving and attentive as ever, and our mar- riage has been beautiful. But I cannot forget what I heard. We have a young son whom we dearly love, but even with him I am not myself, and he senses it. "My husband has a fine repu- tation, and is very popular with everybody. His family have lived here for generations, and I can't believe he would be guil- ty of sin - and with such a public character! If it were a friend of mine he were interest- ed in, I would be hurt but not so ashamed. Don't you think I should do something about it?"

The other, who pretended to care, left me flat and married somebody else. "I always have attended church regularly and usually took up some activities there. I'm not hard to get along with, my family are O.K., and now I have an excellent position with every hope of security. I am ready to get married, build a home, and appreciate a good wife.

Ct&tike Somewhere in my column last week I voiced the hope of a re- turn to normal living. So what happened? Canada started the New Year with a railway strike. As you know it actually started as scheduled. My sister and nephew were here at the time and they had to return to Osh- awa a day earlier than planned. In a way we were glad because the weather was ,desperately cold and we were so afraid they might not be warm enough. Stoke as you like, these big country houses amid the wide open spaces are exposed to every wind that blows which makes it hard to keep an even tempera- ture. Next day, that is the second day of the strike, the mailman came along as usual -minus the morning paper. Now we are get- ting it again but always a day. late. That doesn't suit Partner' too well because no matter what we hear by radio or television he still wants his paper. More so than I do. I like to listen to the news of the day, condensed and delivered in tabloid form. That way I can keep on with my work and still keep up with the times. But that doesn't apply to local weekly papers. They must be read, marked and inwardly digestk:d without benefit of radio and TV. They are the papers we read from end to end and back again. We read the advertising, the council reports, social affairs, coming events, personal items and the highlights of the week's news. This applies -only more so -to readers who are quite a distance from home. We got a bundle of English local papers last week and to us they con- tained a goldmine of informa- tion. We are glad the strike doesn't hold up the mail completely be- cause the new year mailis al- ways interesting to us especially as we received a number of very welcome letters from read- ers . of this column which have been much appreciated - even thbugh some of the letter -writers preferred to remain anonymous. Then there are the short, -very short intimate letters ... "just a not' to let you know we are still alive but very busy—so much illness in the family and so many changes -but we are going to write you a really long letter very soon." Didn't you get a few letters like that? Well, another upset that pre- vented "a return to normal liv- ing" was the sudden illness of a friend in town -an old lady of eighty-three, living alone. For- tunately she has many good friends so between us all `she had someone with her all the time, night and day. My stint was to go dowh after dinner and stay until about seven o'clock. The lady is now recovering very nicely and no doubt will soon be up and around again. The 'come- back' of some of our aged titi- zens Is truly amazing. Partner, of course, has been doing a bit of batching but as long as there is food in the, re- frigerator he dosn't mind as he doesn't have too many chores outside these days. Our one cow is going dry so we shall soon be buying milk until such time as Bossie comes in again. Partner is also getting the barnyard cleaned out the easy way -by selling the fertilizer. This prac- tice is against all good farming principles, but not in our case. As all the farnf-is down in grass and will eventually be taken over by the Department of Highways, it is naturally mure profitable for us to sell whatever fertilizer 'has accumulated dur- ing the last year or so. The buyer and trucker also do things the easy way. No picks and forks these days. They come along with a mechanical loader which fills the truck in about a quarter of the time. What an age we live in! The automobile has eliminated a good deal of our walking and now automation is considerably sub- stituting the use of our hands. But not entirely, we can be quite sure of that. It will be a long time before we stop using a knife and fork! The average person is too fond of eating for that to happen. And most of us eat too much anyway. In some cases the more leisure a person has the more he eats -for the simple reason he has more time to enjoy his meals. But alas, that way danger lies and the trouble creeps on in such an insidious way. Soon after Partner disposed of his milking cows he began to put on weight -and that he can- not afford to do. So we reviewed his food intake for an average day ,discovered he was too gen- erous with starches and liquids and acted accordingly. Now, al- though he isn't on a diet he has cut down on bulk foods and in- creased those which supply vita- mins and proteins. When we buy milk we shall get skim milk for drinking and a bottle of cream for our coffee. That creaw will be our one concession because we do enjoy our breakfast cof- fee! We hope by exercising a; little common sense to " avoid trouble. Sometime the Great Reaper will catch up with us but we don't intend to go half -way to meet him! Perhaps some otber folk may stop, think and eat - according to their needs rather than their fancy. Going to School in Shakespeare's Day Now for the school in Shake- apeare's day. Shakespeare was allowed to join the school when he had reached the age of seven years . , , Shakespeare's class- room was long and narrow and timbered. There would be a desk for the schoolmaster and smaller desks, benches and forms for the scholars, For les- sons, Shakespeare would learn Latin, some arithmetic and a little Greek. English was not a school subject, but it is interest- ing to record that it was a schoolmaster who was alive when Shakespeare lived who first pleaded that the English language should be taught in school. \Ve get a description of school life written in 1612 by John Brinsley. Brinsley was Head- master of Ashby-de-la-Zouch„ Grammar School from 1601- 1617, He wrote: Of school times, intermissions and recreations, the school time should begin at six; all who write Latin to make their exercises which were given overnight, in that hour be- fore seven, Thus they are to continue until nine , , . Then at nine, to let them have a quarter of an hour at least, or more, for intermission, either f n r breakfast ., . for honest recrea- tion, or to prepare their exer- cises against the master's com- ing in. After, each of them to be in his place in an instance, upon the knocking of the door, or some other sign; .. • and so continue until eleven of the clock, or somewhat after, to countervail the time of the in- termission at nine. In the after- noon: To being again all ready and in their places at one, in an instance: to continue until three, or half an hour after; then to have another quarter of an hour or more, as at nine, . . so to continue t111 half an hour after five; thereby in that half hour to countervail the time at three; then to end with reading a piece of a chapter, and with singing two staves of a Psalm; lastly with prayer to be used by the master ... It was Rooer Aschan, who taught Queen Eli- zabeth, who pleaded that chil- dren could be better taught, and learn better, if controlled by love and not by violence. Roger Aschan wrote: I do gladly agree with all good school mas- ters in these points: to have children brought to good per- fectness in learning; to all honesty in manners; to have all faults rightly amended; to have every vice severely corrected. This I know, not only by read- ing of gooks in my study, but also by experience of life abroad in the world, that those which be commonly the wisest, the best learned, and best mea also when they be old, were never commonly the quickest of wit when they were young.

Short, for- mer DEW line pilot, blamed sleeping pills for loss of his pilot's licence, his driver's li- cence, a near -nervous break- down and the blackouts he had suffered while driving his car. 'The law must go after that pill and have it removed from the market," he said, "It's ter- rible; it's ruined me," Arrested after his car was seen weaving down a road, bouncing off curbs, Short was fined $10 for carless driving. But the most important result of the trial was that the sleep- ing p111 in quesion was -put on Canada's "prescription only" list. Pilladdlction, or pillcoholism, has become a threat to the na- tional health in Cando, second only to alcoholism, and more serious than addiction to nar- cotics. It involves sleeping pills; bar- biturates; "happy" pills; and pepup . pills or "bennies", like benzedrine. The Department of Health and Welfare at Ottawa, aware of the growing problem of pill- ' addiction among Canadians, ad- mits it has no Idea of its actual extent. Most medical doctors are in- creasingly aware of the dangers - In over -prescribing sleeping, pep -up, tranquillizer pills, and barbiturates. Certainly, the doc- tors and manufacturers of the pills themselves, can not . be blamed. Yet few Canadians realize the tiny white - pills • they take, to induce sleep, relax, or pep themselves up, can lead to broken health, failure in busi- ness life, an emotional crack- up - and sometimes death, Here are the few available facts about pilladdiction in Can- ada: Canadians are consuming more han 18 tons of bar- biturates, sleeping and tranquil- iier pills each year — enough to put every man, woman, and child in Canada asleep every night for one week. These pills and tablets kill more people each year than any poison. In Ontario, an estimated one-tenth of cases admitted to mental hospitals are pilladdicts, There are four times as many pilladdicts as opiate addicts, and one third as many pilladdicts as alcoholics, Some of the most authorita- tive information on the prob- km comes from Dr, Robert Gordon Bell, head of the Bell Clinic In Willowdale, Ont. (a Toronto :suburb), and a leading Canadian medical authority on addictions, "One tenth of my patients," says Dr. Bell, "have pill prob- lems. There is true addiction, and it is one of the most difficult addictions to treat clinically." Dr. Bell has seen three cases of addiction to pep -up tablets, • which contain caffeine, codeine, phenacetin, and acetylsalicylic acid, and can be bought with cut prescription for minor pains. In its issue of October, 1955, the Canadian. Services Medical Journal tells of a 80 -year-old war veteran, who went from a barbiturate to another non- prescription pill for relief, and ate up to 100 a day. This pilladdict saw "little men" running around the ceil- ing of his room when he had tt "pill jag" on, He once imag- ined the fire department came in through his window and put him in a coffin -like black box. He found that one or two bot- tles of beer "soothed him down" after the terrifying 'hallucina- tions brought on by pilladdic- tion, Pepup pills become popular during the last war, when flyers on long, hazardous night mis- sions used them to stay awake and alert. Probably partly due to these same night bombing runs, Adolph Hitler was well- known for his addiction to "bennies". He ate them constantly and worked all night. Following a crackdown by U.S. and Canadian health au- thorities, pep -up pills sold over the drugstore counter without prescription were weakened, and these milder "bennies" are still 'used by many students cramming for examinations. The problem with these is that their strength increases in proportion to the number taken. No pills, in fact, that are sold without prescription are dan- gerous in the dosage recom- mended by the manufacturer - nor are stronger pills danger- ous, as prescribed by your doc- tor, providing he is aware of the dangers of over -prescription, One of the sides to the prob- lem is the easy availability of many potentially dangerous types of pills. Some types of sleeping and tranquilizer pills are available without prescrip- tion — sold over the counter in drug stores. A normal person can become a pilladdict in either of these ways: By taking pills to overcome some ailment, and developing a dependence on them, or a lik- ing for their effect, Not long ago, an Oshawa, Ont., man was convicted of forg- ing a doctor's name to a pre- scription for barbiturates. The doctor testified in court that the man had been an alcoholic and had been treated with barbitu- rate drugs- to overcome his ad- diction, He developed a new ad- diction to the barbiturate drugs that had been used to cure him. A Monreal woman complain- ed to her doctor she was highly strung and worries were play- ing havoc with her nerves, He prescribed tranquilizers. They gave her such a pleasant sense of relaxation, she clung to them, even when she had to double and finally triple her initial dosage, to get the same results. Finally, she began getting pre- scription from two or three doc- tors; . she ended up saving her pills for weeks, to go on a real "binge". "Most addicts," says Dr. J. D. Armstrong, psychiatrist at Tor- onto's Brookside Clinic, "are, people unable to face life's problems. They need help to meet difficulties in their work, in family relationships. They find that 'crutch' in pills. "Most pilladicts are bored women, whose families have grown up and no longer need them; tired women; women who long for a social life they can't have." * * * There is no simple solution to the growing problem of pill - addiction among . Canadians, To begin with, the pills are a use- ful, necessary part of medical care, properly prescribed and ATE SKATE, FELT REALLY WHEELY — Skating chimp - if not a skating champ — is two-year-old Vickie Lyn, resident, of a pet 'hop.

It leads from the railway station at Bernina -Hauser, near St. Moritz, to the Diavolezza, at a height of 9,000 feet. The cable car cabin can carry 50 passengers, ' takes 11 minutes for the trip. taken as directed. It would be senseless to eliminate the good they accomplish because of the dangers in their misuse. , Dr. Bell and Dr, Anderson say a thorough study should be made to determine the extent of the problem in Canada; and that clinics should be establIsh- ed to treat the pilladdict. , Dr. Bell, at his clinic, has seen the final results of "tranquil- izers" administered without competent supervision. "Pilladdicts are more diffi- cult to treat than alcholics," says he — describing them as stupifled zombies. "They can't immediately be cut off the drug, without the likelihood of con- vulsions or delirium tremens. Some addicts are so bad, they can't walk past a drugstore window, says Dr, Bell, without stopping and staring in fascina- tion - like an alcoholic in front of a shelf of liquor.,— By Fred Edge in "Liberty" Magazine, Real Revolution In Rubber -Making Although many usable sub- stitutes for rubber have been made in recent years it is not un - synthetically. Now it has been able to make "natural" rubber synthetically. Now ithas been done by Firestone Rubber scien- tists. According to a report in the Scientific American the in- gredients of the synthetic con- sist of isoprene, a liquid that can be derived from a number of substances, and the metal, lith- ium. Upon being heated to 104 degrees Fahrenheit in the pres- ence of lithium, isoprene is changed from liquid to natural rubber. Like many other dicoveries this one was built on earlier studies. Back in 1879 a French- man named G. Bouchardat heat- ed natural rubber to a high temperature and obtained a vo- latile liquid called isoprene. He conceived the idea 'that isoprene might be a chemical building stone of rubber, which indeed it turned out to be, Between 1909 and 1912 isoprene was synthes- ized in Germany and used as the basis for synthetic -rubber pro- duction. Since then an immense variety of "elastomers" have been synthesized, some with qualities that far surpass natural rubber in special applications. Some substitutes ,havetensile strength of 11,000 pounds per square inch compared with 4,500 in natural rubber. One remarkable synthetic rub- ber that promises to revolution- ize the tire industry is made from a chemical called polyurethane. Its chief use at present is as foam rubber for upholstery, mattres- ses and insulation, With further development this rubber will make excellent tire treads giving 100,000 miles wear, outlasting most cars.' It will be available in any color because carbon black, essential for adding toughness to natural rubber, will not be required. Tires made of it may even not require fabric. Considering this and other developments it seems more and more 11 k e 1 y that the man and the jacked -up car by the side of the road will become a rarer and rarer sight There was a time within the memory of many when a trip to the country was sure to call for at least one tire change, perhaps more. Tires are getting tougher and tougher with the promise that soon the jack will be outmoded equip- ment in any car. -- Hartford Courant. • Whaling Days Scrimshaw may sound like the name of a Scotland Yard detec- tive or a character in a Dickens novel, but it is neither. It is the lost art of making pictures on a sperm whale's teeth or lower jawbone, or of carving useful or merely decorative ob- jects from these. The activity is often referred to as "scrim-. shandering." Where the words came from, nobody knows . . During the second dog -watch of the cruises that sometimes lasted two or three years, the tars were given leisure to sing chanteys, to jig, spin yarns, do their mending, play dominoes or chess, get out their fiddles or flutes, or open their jack-knives and do some scrimshaw carving or engraving. The long lonely voyage brought forth a crop of objects carved in the round — spoons, jagging wheels for cut- ting pie crusts, imitation chairs and lengths of rope . . , cane - heads, walking sticks, doll beds, miniature whales and vessels, chessmen, dominoes, toys, and vases. Or they "scratched" on the surface of the teeth or lower jawbone, pictures inspired by thrilling whaling scenes, Godey fashion illustrations, historic and patriotic engravings, and also memories of their homes, vil- lages and families. They copied, or else they depended solely on memory, imagination or ob- servation for inspiration. That some of them must have_learned a trick or two abbut carving from coastal China and from Pacific Island aboriginals seems not unlikely. Carving and etch- ing bone, horn, ivory and ebony was nothing new, Horns were carved by soldiers of the War of 1812 — well before whaling tars adopted the scrimshaw hobby.
