Hill of Varna spent the last two weeks holding Farm Union meet- ings in Ottawa vicinity. Part of Mi. Hills' time was spent in the House of Commons, Ottawa, where he joined 0. F.U. Honorary President, A. V. Cor - muck and. other Farm Union represen- tatives who have represented •Ontario farmers in meeting with elected mem- bers and Cabinet members with regard to the Agricultural Price Support legi- slation which will be presented to the House in Ottawa this week. Although other farm organization: have met with members of the Govern• meat and have outlined the present de- pressed condition of agriculture, the Farm Unions are the only farm organ- ization which have asked the Govern- ment to support the farmers with floor prices set at cost of production levels. President Hill reports that top brass directors of the C,F.A. including the First Vice -President, after having had directive given them by their Pool El. evators and Federation of Agriculture Conventions which demanded floor prices for farm commodities at cost of production levels had asked only 70 ' percent cost of production demands made by their organization. Mr. Hill states that the Vann Unions alone face the almost impossible task of raising up the farmers, the Government and worst of all the Federation of Agriculture to a level where there is nt least some hope of getting supports or farmers who otherwise may not be on their farms in the near future. • CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. , Charles Vsodden of Londesboro who celebrate their 40th wedding anniver- sary on Jan. 2nd.

Bren deVries) `Again, as it has been for the past three years, it is m;v privilege to write the New Year's' message for The Blyth Standard,' At the time c1 writ- ing this article the clock is slowly ticking away the lest hours of 1957. For some of us it was a year of sor- row, for others a year of prosperity and health. We were all startled In 1957 by the fact that man-made moons were circling our. globe. Scientifical- ly the progress was enormous. And now we are standing at the thresh - hold of a new year and we wonder what it holds in store for us. If you are anxious tbeut the future, I would advise you to take your bible and look up verse 30 of the 0th chapter of St. M^tthew's gospel and you will read: "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow Is cast into the oven, sh'll He not much more clothe you, 0 ye of little faith?" In this particular part of the ser- mon oit,t he Moult, our Lord is in- sisting on the duty of leaving the worries about food and clothing en- tirely in the kindly keeping of our Laving Heavenly Father. Spend a few moments in thinking on this text, it will not only be a very fitting be- ginning, but also a very helpful be- ginning of the New Year. Believers knew that faith Is the very spirit and nerve of exertion, because God's call is to that of co-operation with Him- self for His own glory and humsn well-being, A belief in God's prov- idence is one of the finest assurances with which we can set foot into the New Year, WESTFIELD A Happy New Year to All.

Vittie of Ilespeler; Mr, and Mrs. Ken Somers and daughters, were visitors on Christmas day with Mrs. Edythe Stur• gean and Alis Fears Gldley, Society Beauty Slick Forgerer Smilingly they faced one an- other across the silver and im- maculate linen of the exclusive Mayfair restaurant, the lovely girl and the handsome man. For her, a blue-eyed brunette with a dazzling smile and Cu- p!d's bow mouth, the man with the looks and air of a Guards officer could open the door to riches, For him, the lovely woman who now leaned provocatively across the lamp -lit table seemed a vision of loveliness too good io be true. They had met at a Mayfair cocktail party only a few days previously. They had taken to one another a> once, and soon she was confiding to him that she was worried about a grave problem. He would be only too glad to do what he could to help, he said. He suggested a pleasant little dinner together when she could tell him all about it . And now, leaning towards him Over the table, the satin sheen of her bare shoulders made rosy by the shaded lamp, she talked. "I had a guardian," she be- gan, "a perfect old dear who loved me like a father He had no relatives at all, and when he died he made a will leaving me his great fortune." "Then, if you are rich," inter- posed her companion, "your trouble cannot be so very ter- rible!" "But that's just it," she de- clared. "I'm not rich—I'm very hard up, even if I do move around in Mayfair and dress well. You see, though my guardian signed his will, he did so without the presence of wit- nesses. Such a will, of course, is not worth the paper it is typed on." "Well, how can I help?" ask- ed her companion. "By signing as a witness." "But that would be forgery!" he protested. "It would also be a fortune for me and a tidy slice of it for you." "I see " he remarked slowly. Before they parted that night the man Morton, had agreed to sign the document purporting to be the will of an elderly Bir- mingham solicitor. He also un- dertook to find a friend who would sign as the second wit- ness, for a cut. Thus Josephine O'Dare, daugh- ter of a Herefordshire farm labourer, and christened Theresa Agnes Skyrme, launched her- self by crime on one of the most amazing careers of fashionable London in the gay and naughty 1920s. Her story of the old guardian was nonsense, of course. The old gentleman whose will she forged was a wealthy Birming- ham solicitor under whose pro- tection she had lived and who had imbued her with a love for luxury and ambition to climb in London society. Forgery, like poisoning, Is a crime that is often repeated, and Josephine O'Dare, as she called herself, embarked on a social career on the proceeds of this particular felony. Morton became her close as- sociate, and with him his friend who had added his name as second witness to the forged will. This was a romantic crook named Davis, who passed himself off as Lord St. Helier and Captain Danvers, D.S.O. These three, while strutting about the drawing rooms and dance clubs of Mayfair as so- cialites and members of the aristocracy, operated as a bus- iness, a business with three par- tners and one product: forged documents. Between 1922 and 1927 this partnership yielded no Less than $60,000. During those years there were two Josephine O'Dares. There was the Irish heiress who gave magnificent parties in her lux- urious Mayfair flat, who rode a fine mare in Rotten Row, was prominent at the great race meetings, and a notable figure at the most fashionable night- clubs. The other Josephine was a hard - working criminal who, with her two male associates, made a business of forgery, Though Josephine had gate- crashed some of the most ex - elusive mansions in Mayfair, she had not entirely escaped the in- terest of Scotland Yard. They had nothing definite to go on, but they could not find out the source of her income, and she was seen with Davis who had a long criminal record. So they watched and waited. A forged will having done the trick the first time, Josephine continued on the same lines. When she forged a will, with Davis's assistance, generally, she overwhelmed with her allure even the toughest of money- lenders. She seldom came out of their offices empty-handed. Another of their activities was collecting authentic signatures for later forging. The system of forgery to which Davis introduced his apt and willing pupil was essenti- ally simple, He taught her that while the forging of a "guardian's" will may be an excellent idea, it had the obvious limitation of num- ber. On the other hand there were many banks to which they could turn their talents. Davis's method was to steal letters from the letterboxes of big business houses. Many of these letters contained cheques which bore genuine signatures. With these, application was made in the name of the cus- tomer to the bank concerned for a new cheque book. Using the new cheque book, a cheque was drawn and signed and presented at the bank by messenger. The bank had just supplied that customer, so It believed, with a new cheque book, What more natural than that he should be making use of it? By means of this trick and some brilliant forgery, Jose- phine and her two male associ- ates robbed bank after bank of large sums of money, After each successful coup Josephine would throw a party in her flat. To those who knew her then she seemed completely carefree, without a trace of the strain which she was undergo- ing. One day a man presented to the cashier of a Nest End bank a cheque for $750, He was tall and well-dressed and aroused in the cashier not the sligHtest sus- picion. Round the corner a pret- ty girl waited anxiously for his return. Meanwhile, the cashier, intent on his work, went across to con- sult a ledger. At that moment pani¢ seized the waiting man, He lost his nerve, fumed and ran out of the bank. He could have done nothing to make pur- suit more certain. That was the beginning of the end for Josephine O'Dare. The arrest of Davis was soon follow- ed by the arrest of Morton and of Josephine herself. In March, 1927, Josephine O'Dare stood in the dock at the Old Bailey. She was charged with the forgery of wills, of cheques, and with getting cash from moneylenders by false pretences. What manner of woman was this who began life in a farm cottage, who had but little edu- cation, and yet who could daz- zle and bamboozle society men and women and business ty- coons? She was, of course an adven- turess. But not an ordinary one. She had intelligence and a ready wit. When she went into the witness -box at the Old Bailey she did not try to lie her way out, but admitted freely what she had done. When Josephine O'Dare went down the dock steps at the Old Bailey she disappeared from the gay and glittering world she had loved for four and a half years... . And then, one day in 1951, the Westminster Coroner held an inquest on a woman named Joan Brooks. She had been found dead in a shabby bed-sitter, and said the pathologist, she had died by her own hand'from bar- bituric poisoning. Being charitable, the coroner returned an Open verdict on Joan Brooks. In so doing he said. the last word on Theresa Agnes Skyrme, alias Josephine O'Dare, master forger, social butterfly, convicted criminal. QUICK SERVICE As an important looking busi- ness man was leaving the small town hotel, he suddenly turned to a not -too -bright -looking lad leaning against the desk. "Quick, son," he ordered. "Run up to Room 13 and see if I left my brief -case there. Hurry! My train leaves in nine minutes." A few moments later, the boy rushed back. "Yes, sir," he pant- ed, "It's there all right" HOME - GROWN BLANKET — Sporting a two-year growth of whiskers, Lt.

ARTISTICALLY INCLINED—Apparently bent on creative endeavor, actress Linda Christian, left, gets the brush from Roman painter Novella Parigini as she tries her hand at a canvas in the artist's studio. The star is holidaying in the Eternal City: w Perils Of The Jungle Keep Her Young As the little dog started bark- ing frenziedly, the tall English- woman who was digging in her garden spun around and drew back instinctively. There, a few paces away, poised ready for the kill, was a krait, one of North Borneo's deadliest snakes, Thinking more of her dog's safety than her own, the woman grabbed hold of it and called out to some natives who were laying down pipes in an adjoin- ing field. Seeing the snake, they rushed into the garden ,shouting a warn- ing. Startled by this noise, the snake remained indecisive, and so presented its head to a fatal stroke by a native, wielding his large grass -cutting knife. Had not that dog barked so opportunely, the Far East might have lost one o1 the British Red Cross Society's most courageous and adventurous field workers, , Lancashire -born Miss Millicent Mary Johnson, holder of seven service decorations. Though now in her 60th year, "Johnny", as everyone calls her, returned only a few weeks ago, after a visit to England, for a further spell of two years as a pioneer welfare officer in the jungles of North Borneo. Being interested in people and roughing it are the two ingredi- ents of her recipe for keeping young. Despite her years, she faces many physical hazards in carrying out her jungle duties. Not long ago, at Kotablud, while she was preparing for bed, she stepped back with a gasp of amazement and alarm. There, nestling below her pillow, was a bulging centipede, fully 18 inches longl Adventure dogged her even on her trip back from England. Flying from Damascus to Co- lombo, she found herself, owing to bumpy conditions, impressed into service as the sick -bay at- tendant. Two little girls were dreadfully air -sick, and one little boy became so ill that she had to give him oxygen, Her job in Borneo is to intro- duce "mercy services", such as health clinics, first-ald training, old folks' homes and tubercu- losis welfare centres to the back- ward areas. Sometimes she travels by sea in a native canoe .13y this means she reaches communities where everyone lives in huts perched high on stilts. A bam- boo stairway leads down to the sea. Climbing these stairs in rough weather is tricky. Even trickier is stepping back Into the canoe when it hobs up and down at the bottom of the stairway, Here, she said, the natives have a very simple way of deal- ing with dirty dishes. They merely put them in a basket and, securing it by a rope, lower it through a hole in the floor into the sea. Once,;when visiting an isolated Chinese school, she made first a 20 -mile canoe trip and then, the tide being low, had to wade for half an hour knee - deep through treacherous mud -flats. On arrival, she washed her feet and legs, blackened by mud, in a water butt outside the school, but could do nothing about her dripping skirt, At one village she invariably gets a welcome from a little boy who rides a buffalo and wears a trilby hat and very little else, With a grin of joy, he doffs his somewhat battered headgear in salute to "Missy Johnny" . The people she visits Include Dyaks, Ibans, Murals, Dusans, Malayans, Chinese, She has formed first-class Red Cross de- tachments from dark - haired Dyak girls whose grandfathers reveled in their prowess as head- hunters. These new welfare services tend to reduce jungle hazards especially the casualties caused by crocodile bites. A Dyak, involved in a cruel tussle with a crocodile, had an arm partially severed. In the old days he would have lost his arm and perhaps his life. But thanks to prompt and proper first-aid action his wound heal- ed. Miss Johnson has also intro- duced blood transfusion services. Richly endowed with Lanca- shire "pep", refreshingly broad- minded, resourceful and unof- ficious, Millicent Johnson first threw herself into Red Cross work at the outbreak of war. She was then a fashion buyer in a Middlesbrough store, But soon Red Cross work, with its travels, variety, and fascinating insight into human problems, be- came her chief love. After serving in a British gen- eral hospital in Brussels, she' volunteered in 1945 for relief work in India, but was switched en route to Colombo, Ceylon. There she helped to receive ship- loads of men released from Jap- anese prison camps. One day her heart jumped a couple of bounds. The man now before her and posted as miss- ing three years earlier from Singapore was' the brother of her own brother-in-law t Nat- urally, he was equally dumb- founded at this meeting, When this work was, finished she found herself with some sur- plus medical supplies, A leper colony near -by was, she knew, desperately short of such sup- plies. To hand them over was unauthorized; it might well earn her a rap from authority. But Johnny never hesitated. She gave the supplies to the Franciscan sisters who ran the colony, The place was- infested, she noticed, with. large disease -car- rying mosquitoes. So, through a naval friend, she recruited a ship's disinfestation squad. The men, all volunteers, sprayed the site thoroughly. Then, in re- sponse to Johnny's invitation, they treated the lepers to a round of sea shanties. Not to be outdone, some lepers them- selves grabbed their drums and beat out breezy rhythms. Meeting emergencies is all part of this go-ahead, practical woman's daily life. And court- ing fresh hardships and adven- tures at 60 shows just how deep- ly Red Cross pioneering has got into her blood.

Moths With "Radar" Biologists have long suspect- ed that warfare in the animal world is at Least as complex as in the human world. Now, they have evidence that moths pos- sess an early -warning defense which is triggered by the navi- gational radar of their enemies, bats, According to the current issue of the magazine Scientifle American, when Kenneth D. Roeder of Tufts University and Asher Treat of the City College of New York attached electrodes to a moth's ear, they found the ear sensitive to the ultrasonic echo -locating cries of a bat 10 feet away. Even more subtle, the biologists. found that a par- asitic mite which lives on moths' ears is careful to abstain front eating both of its host's ears — leaving one line of defense against hungry bats and saving his own skin.

Making Way For The Parlour Stove Along this time of year, when the chillier air worked through the walls, a great rural indoor sport was setting up a stove - and that, too, has passed, I hear no complaints, although setting up a stove left memories to cherish, We know now that the old parlor heater was an inefficient machine, doing poorly a job that modern knowledge has.--- made- assmade- precise, But it was also far ahead of the open hearth, and for this reason was frequently plugged into a header in the throat of a flreplace or was fed into a bricked -up front on the fireplace - although it could also go into a thimble in the wall where /ho fireplace had ever been. This last arrangement some- times set fire ,to the wallpaper, or at least brought creosote down to make interesting pat- terns, We had one pattern, in an upstairs bedroom, which looked just like the old prints of Lincoln's Cabinet, beards and all. The severe and. unadorned lines of modern functional de- vices make me wonder what perversion of thought led to some of the ornamentations on the old parlor heaters. There were smallish airtights which carne plainer, but for real style you had to have one with bunches of grapes and draperies held back with bows -all done in cast iron. The stove was in- tended to heat the room, but it would sit there beautifying the parlor at the same time. As the season drew on, the women would rearrange the furniture and make way for the stove, There was usually a sheet of tin, sometimes decorously etched with ferns and filigrees, and you had to move the rug back, On this tin would be plac- ed four glass cups for the stove - legs and then the men were told to bring in the heater, The stove had been taken out of the parlor the previous spring, when the weather had warmed, and this gave more room for family affairs when the parlor was used much less often. During the summer, unless it rained, we'd be outdoors, or off In our own rooms, and we sel- dom used the parlor. It was in winter, win.. the rest of the house, except the kitchen, was cold that we needed the parlor. So the stove might just as well, PIGEONHOLED - Taking n o chances with any of their total of 54 lives, six precious felines play it safe in lockers at a Frankfurt, Germany, railroad station.

When the stove was taken out, we had to thump the sections of pipe behind the barn and brush out all the soot, We had to clean out the wood ashes and see if the grates were all. right, Grates failed now and then, usually because the ashes built up under them and they got too hot. A clear stove burned brighter and grates lasted longer. Anyway, when we got the 'stove all cleaned for summer storing, we would anoint the stove with sweet oil, using a rag and a small brush. The stove would presently shine as Aaron did when the ointment ran down, and it would smell like an Arabian boudoir Then we would lay a cloth over it, push it back against the shed wall and leave it until autumn, Nobody liked to set up or take down a stove, It was heavy and tricky, aid either full of soot or covered with oil. There were things known as stove casters, and if you owned a set you could move it around nicely. We never owned any, and always lugged. Going through doors was a real maneuver. Most door .jambs, between the parlor and the shed, had chunks out of them where stove legs had struck. True, you could knock the legs out of tneir sockets and handle them separately, but then you ran the risk of setting the stove down with your fin- gers in the way. A man who was moving a stove and found him- self pinned to the floor by his fingers was usually a voluble and expressive character even though at other times he might appear taciturn and bashful. The man who had moved a stove could be told by the full flavor of sweet oil which surrounded him. It clung. When a stove was being set up, the pipe was always a ques- tion. It !night go together easily, and it might not. A pipe which fitted exactly last spring seem- ed peculiarly reticent about it in the fall. But it would eventu- ally fit, and next came a small fire to burn off the oil and check the draft.. This filled the house with a characteristic aroma belonging to once -a -year things, and was not so pleasant as some other aromas. Sweet oil, all but ablaze is not so sweet. This stench was immediately added to by the chore of blacking the stove for which a cake of patent shine was dissolved in a saucer of vinegar. I do not know why vinegar was used, but it may have been to neutralize the sweet oil, the way you might burn down a house to remove the paint. The liquid blacking was 'swabbed on and burnished with flannel rags, and it would sizzle on the hot stove and bring tears to eyes away out in the barn, I don't know why they couldn't black a cold stove, but they couldn't. Then winter would set .in and the parlor would be het. Some stoves cooled down as fast as they got hot, but the ornament- ed ones would keep the heat long after the fire had dwindled. But never long enough to last the night, In the morning the parlor always had a left -over atmosphere of gloom and stale popcorn, vinegar and sweet oil, cold wood ashes and contracted cast iron, and it was cold.

The 19 -year-old displayed enough farming ability to be named "Queen of the Agriculture Barnwarmed Dance". TIIUARM FRONT haQ U Canada isn't the only place where the farm problem is troublesome to the powers -that - be. In the United States tho latest idea, designed to stem over-prodution is to put entire farms - not, just. certain un- productive acreage -- "on the shelf." The following f r o m Washington will give you a bet- ter idea of what I refer to. * * * The administration badgered by continued farm surpluses, Is prepared to resort to extraordi- nary measures to reduce farm production. It would remove whole farms from production by paying farm- ers to turn their entire crop- land over to government conser- vation projects. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, in his second sen- sational press conference within the past fortnight, has announced that the program is being put into effect on a trial basis in four states - Illinois, Maine, Nebraska, and Tennessee. The unusual feature of this new, bold attempt to beat the costly and uneconmic surplus problem is that farmers will name the price at which they are willing to enter into this contract with the government. "Bids,' they are called, The Department of Agriculture may accept or reject these bids, "on the basis of the lowest acceptable offers." This differs from past practice In that under the regular con- servation r e s e r v e procedure, farmers have no opportunity to suggest a price, but are offered specific per -acre annual pay- ments for land put to conserva- tion crops. There is no doubt that the new plan was prompted by the fail- ure of the soil bank to pull any large amount of land out of pro- duction and -reduce surpluses. The all-out effort now will be to concentrate on the long-range, conservation program as the bet- ter solution. Making it worth while for the farmer to put his wlyole farm to conservation crops will remove the incentive to turn remaining acres over to price -supported crops already in surplus. Secretary Benson's announce- ment of the four -state "trial pro- gram" followed a similar pro- posal by the Committee on Economic Development. The CED estimated that the cost of retir-: ing whole farms would he costly, but less costly In the long run than the present program. * * 4 If the trial program proves successful, it will be extended to other. states. To make the offer more attractive, the governrnent will increase its maximum pay- ment from $5,000 to $10,000 un- der the new "bid". procedure "thus enabling larger farms to participate with all eligible !and." Secretary Benson feels that while the new program is on a very tentative, "trial" basis, that it offers real promise. The program, in essence, is seen as representing one of the most revolutionary ventures in agriculture, The effort to take whole farms out of crop produc- tion appears to corroborate the often -repeated claim that the basic problem is one of too many farms and too many farmers. * * The administration already has taken initial steps in this direc- tidn through the rural develop- ment program, designed to help unsuccessful farmers find full- time or parttime work in nearby cities. "The whole program," as Sec- retary Benson put it, "is acme¢ at reducing the size of the age - cultural plant and preserving It in a good state of conservation until such time as additional crop production may be needed" The Agriculture Department is preparing to re -appraise the soil bank feature of the farm pro- gram, which expires in 1959, with a view to terminating it even sooner if it seems feasible. * * 4 Surplus dispbsal programs have defeated their own ends, under this formula, by boosting price supports and encouraging more production. For some time the administra- tion has advocated an end to acreage allotments for corn and the treatment of all grains fed to livestock as one commodity. Otherwise, land taken out of corn production has simply been sown to other feed grains, creat- ing new surpluses. * * * All this is obviously part of a vigorous attempt to revamp the farm program, and approach Congress with new recommen- dations for cutting back persist- ent surpluses and at the same time keeping a steady floor un - FALLING OUT OF FAVOUR After Jean Coupe, the famous French paratrooper, jumped 22,- 965 feet in 143 seconds before pulling the ripcord, and thereby setting a new world record, he was arrested by the army au- thorities and put in the guard. - house for eight days for violating regulations which forbid para- troopers jumping from heights exceeding 9,842 feet without car - lying oxygen equipment. der farm income. Secretary Benson is almost certain to ask authority for more flexibility in the adjust-. ment of price supports, now limited to a range of 75 to 90 per cent in most major crops. The regular conservations re- serve program will be continued - that is, the retirement of land to conservation crops at the gov- ernment -set price per acre. Un- der the new "bid" procedure designed to encompass entire farms, contracts will call for diversion of crop land to trees and conservation gains.

The Church's One Foundation Memory Selection: He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first- born from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre- eminence, Colossians 1:18. The general subject for the lessons for this quarter is, "New Testament Teaching About The Church." We shall study the origin, nature and mission of the Christian church. Jesus worked with his foster - father, Joseph, in the carpenter shop. But during the course of HIs short ministry He said, "1 will build My church." He was not thinking of a building of wood or stone but of that great body of called -out ones whe would believe that He was the Messiah, the Son of the living God. He is still building. People of different races and colour art believing on Him as Saviour and Lord and becoming a part of the church. What is the foundation of the church? When Simon Peter made the great confession, Jesus replied, "Blessed art thou, SI - mon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church." The Greek word for Peter is petros and the word for rock is Petra. The first is mas- culine and the second is femin- ine. Petros is a rock or stone whereas petra is a rock, a crag, a ledge or shelf of rock. Peter was a fragment of the great foundation, The rev elation which he had received from the Father concerning the identity of Jesus qualified him to be part of the foundation. This harmonizes with the other re- ference to the foundation in this lesson, "The foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone." The keys are the symbol of authority. In Matthew 18:11 they were conferrcd upon all the apostles. They were given power to bind and loose signi- fying to forbid and to allow. God was to endorse the deci- sions of these holy men of God. It is encouraging to note that when Jesus said, "I will build my church," he added, "And the gates of hell shall not pre- vail against it." Communism is advancing and some tremble for the outcome. The Builder was confident. Fear not, the church will triumph. Upsidedown to Prevent Pecking SS.319 101 d3M S.3Q 121 3DV 3.A1 '32111N3 1V I J.

HRONICLEiNGERFARMS Gwendolin,e P. C1axik¢ It doesn't seem pc Bible but it actually is .. . tiir,e t' once again wish all the readers of this column a very Happy Christmas. I do hope the fact of Christmas coming in the middle of the week will not make k impossible for sons and daugh- ters living away from home to get back for Yuletide celebra- tions. For what would Christmas be without a family? Greeting cards, presents, festive fare, par- ties and fun are just the Christ- mas trimmings; the outward ex- pression of a deep abiding love that is the basis of all happy family gatherings, None of us is perfect; we may irritate each other upon occasion but it makes little difference to our affec- tions, does it? We love, and are loved, not for any of our odd little ways but in spite of them. Uncle Bill may be a terrific one to argue and Cousin Emma too fussy for words, but bless their hearts, we know they arc as loyal and kind as anyone could be. If you have an Uncle Bill or a cousin Emma in your family I am sure you will agree. Christ- mas wouldn't be the same with- out them, would it? Christmas, most of as think, has become altogether too com- mercial. That, unfortunately, is true, Especially for children. There is too much Santa Claus and too little attention given to the Christ -child's birth. And yet, however little we recognize it, the Christian influence is still there. Can you imagine livin;f in •i country where the miracle of the Saviour's birth is no longer recognized? It would be a very pointless existence, wouldn't it — at any time, but more especially at Christmas. And do you know, I always think the farm is a grand place to he at Christmas, The story of the Nativity has a special significance for those who tend the cattle in the stall." Remember Nina Moore Jamie - son's lovely lines — 'With fork and pail and stable brown, as evening shadows fall, In common tasks I tend for Him the cattle in the stall." I wonder -- when you think of Christmas, do you just thins; of this very Christmas we are now celebrating? I don't. I think of all the Christmases that led up to it — that made this pres- ent Christmas possible, I look hack to Christmases in England: to holly, mistletoe and paper chain decorations; to homemade gifts and stockings well padded with oranges, nuts and "sweets". To a golden brown chicken (the most we could afford) Christmas plum pudding, enveloped by tiny blue flames, dancing upwards to the sprig of holly at the top of the pudding. I remember lying in bed the night before ChrLst. mass litening to the wallet; and the carol singers going from street to street . , , and the church bells ringing thtlr spe- cial message . , . "Joy to the world, the Lord is come; --Let earth receive her King," In that way, with music and song, the birthday of the Christ -Child was ushered in before we, as chil- dren, became excited with the fantasy of Santa Claus — of "Father Christmas" — as we called him in England. And then I think of our first Christmas on the, prairie. Mail was delayed. The thought of Christmas without a word from home was hard to face. And then, on the twenty-fourth, the letters came. Partner phoned me from the village ... there was a money order from home — what should he do with it? "Coal , bring home some coal — let us be warm for Christmas!" He brought the coal and some balloons for the baby. We hung then; from a string above her cot. It was a wonderful Christ- mas, We forgot about the last season's crop failure end we could not foresee the ones to come. We were happy, warm and optimistic. Three years later came our first Christmas in Ontario -- at Ginger Farm. It was a happy day — two children now. But the next day, sadness. A cable from Fngland — my mother had passed away -- on Christmas Day — which was also her wed- ding anniversary. For years after that, for me Christmas was al- ways a mixture of sorrow and gladness. Another year I specially re- member ... the children were asleep, a stocking hanging at the head of each bed. About ten o'clock I heard Dee crying -- pitiful, heart -breaking sobs. I rushed upstairs — "What is It, pet , , , why are you crying? Have you got a pain?" Between sobs came the answer — "Santa Claus hasn't put anything in my stocking!" (remember --- It was , Only ten o'clock), And now that same little girl, who thought Santa had forgotten her, has stockings to fill for her own three children, And Bob and his wife will have their first Tragedies Caused Jealousy The gay, fastidiously dressed husband living in a Hamburg luxury flat with his somewhat dowdy wife could hardly con- ceal his delight when she% an- • nounced at tea -tune: "I shan't be, back tonight, Herman, so don't wait up for me, Mother's • not well, so I'll. stay the night with her:" She waved him goodby and within minutes he was on the phone, fixing up a drinking spree with an office pal and Iwo at- tractive frauleins. They arrived at his flat later that evening and for nearly three-quarters of an hour the four made merry—dancing, sip- ping wine, kissing and laughing —until the wife suddenly stepped cut of a cupboard, her face red with jealous fury. "I've overheard everything," she shouted, swiping the as- tounded husband with a stick after driving out the others. "I've suspected you -for a long time and felt sure I'd catch you by inventing that story about visiting my mother," Most of the great lovers of history have been very jealous,' including the French author, Vic- tor Hugo, He Loved beautiful Juliette Douret so much that at one time he jealously refused to let her walk through the streets of Paris alone. When a woman gives way to jealousy, gparks usually 'fly. A jealous woman once inter- rupted a wedding cermony by accusing the bride of "stealing" her man. She then tore off the bride's veil, ripped her wedding dress and blacked both her eyes. Jealous husbands have been known to go to elaborate lengths to spy on their wives.. On his seventh wedding anniversary a man bought a cap, spectacles and moustache and started a little amateur detective work on his wife, it was revealed in a divorce case.

And he had plunged desperately on ' Gordon Richards' mount, Domaha, to win him $200,000. As thea% streaked up the straight, three horses forged to the front, flashing past, the post together, Domaha was one of them, and with no photo -finish in those days, 1938, a good many punters thought Gordon's mount had won, But the judge placed him third ;and gave the race to Hclleniqua, Hannam was finished. He vanished from the racing world forever after a battle with the bookies that had lasted 40 years, ever since, as a humble book- maker himself, he suddenly realized that his lightning -quick brain could make him more money backing horses, - His yearly betting turnover was more than $10,000,000, Some- times, for weeks on end, he would gamble $5,000 on ' every race, "There's no such thing as luck in steady betting so long es a man can judge which race will give him a chance and can calculate correctly the odds against him," he said. "Yet Hannam's gambling was not confined to racing," says Meyrick Good in "The Lure of the Turf", a well illustrated and fascinating book .covering over d0 years of racing activity. "He loved a game of billiards and thought nothing of backing him- self for $1,500 or $3,000. The more at stake the better he would play. There was one oc- casion when he lost $50,000 on a game of darts in a Liverpool hotel." Meyrick Good nominates the late Joe Owers, of Sutton, as the most astute gambling char- acter he ever met, He had to borrow $500 to get to Monte Carlo for the first time, But after that he went there year after year and never brought back less than $30,000 with hint. He, too, had a wonderful brain for figures and he soon dis- covered a secret that made him thousands. He noticed that the croupier in Trente et Quarante- slways showed the last card, after cutting them, before plac- ing it back in the pack. Owers never wagered until the turned up card, had been dealt. Then he memorized the rest of the peek • ind placed his bets accordingly. Unwisely, after a few drinks, he disclosed his secret to a party of Greeks who formed a syndi- cate and reaped a rich harvest until the Casino officials dis- covered the flaw. After that the cut card ceased to be shown. Once Owers was "caught" for $500 by a man, He got his own back, however. He bet him the ,lame sum that he could esti- mate more accurately than the other the weight of a huge sal- mon that was laid out in their hotel for supper. He won getting the weight right to within a pound — which was hardly surprising since he bad already got the chef to put the fish on the scales for him! Though not much good at golf, he could never resist gambling -- and usually losing — thou- sands of dollars at the game. His most freakish match was when he contracted to drink a whisky at every tee. It's reported that he reached the fourteenth green, where he had driven his .ball Into a banker. He went in after ft — and stayed there! "When a jockey wins the Der- by he looks for a present of at least $3,000 or ten per cent of the stakes,""says Meyrick Good. Then he cites the case of poor W. Bullock, who won the Turf's Blue Riband, and the Oaks as well, on Signorinetta, ,in 1008, for the Chevalier Ginisteelli, All he received from the grateful owner was a glass of sherry! On' the subject of the Epsom classic, the author recalls how St Amant won in a raging thun- derstorm, with lightning flashing ovet the famous Downs. The colt, owned by Mr. Leopold de Rothschild, got away like a bul- let and never faltered until the post was reached. Most people thought he had won because he was seared out of his wits by the storm, But his trainer, Alfred Hayhoe, could have refuted, that theory, In order that his horse would not be put off by the storm, he'd taken the precaution before the "off" of stuffing its ears with cotton wool! His greatest thrill,- says Mer- rick Good, during a career on the Turf lasting sixty years, was when he was asked by the late Lord Derby, in 1921, to go to his private box at Ashtree and "call" the race for a distinguished guest: King George V. The ex- periment was such a success he was asked to repeat it three more times. When Master Robert won, in 1924, the King, who had backed the winner, shook Mr, Good warmly by the hand and told him how much the race had thrilled him. 'King George liked to have an occasioal wager of five or ten pounds," he says. And he adds: "His Majesty believed in moderation in all things, es- pecially in smoking. "Just after Master Robert had passed the winning post, the King took out a gold cigarette case .. , I thought he was going to ask me to smoke, but instead he took a cigarette from the case and broke it in half. One half he put in his holder, the other he put back carefully into his case. And I didn't get my cigarette after all." Meyrick Good, who has seen fifty-eight Derbys, tells in his book many such lively stories of the leading Turf personalities he has known.

Killer Now A Champion Scholar Nat Leopold and Dick Loeb were the sons of Chicago mil- lionaires. They had everything: vast wealth, good lboks, brains, charm, There were no follies marked up against them by the begin- ning of May, 1924. On the con- trary, they were both under- graduates with fine scholastic records. Then one May morning a car sped through the city and out into the countryside. Smiling Nat and gay Dick were taking fourteen -year-old Bobby Franks for a nice drive, Or so the boy believed --flat- tered, no doubt, by the apparent friendship of these two older youths, But at eighteen Nat Leopold and DIck Loeb were already satiated with the good things of life, They lacked, they told one another, the final, the ultimate, thrill; the committing of a per- fect crime. The smiling, happy fourteen- yyear-old was their chosen vic- 1!m. They •stopped the car at a lonely spot, battered little Bob- by Franks' head in and thrust his body into a culvert. Then the killers exp&rienced a violent reaction. Not from pity or regret—but fear of the consequences. Was this "the perfect mur- der"? Doubt seized them. They panicked. They made all the mistakes of amateurs in crime. The boy's body was found. The chisel which inflicted the fatal blows was found. The perpe- trators of the murder were traced and arrested. Court photographs taken dur- ing the early hearing of their trial show two handsome, im- maculately -dressed youths seat- ed 'on either side of a sad -faced counsel, Clarence Darrow, the most famous barrister of his day. Both youths are grinning broadly. The good fairy who had been so lavish with gifts at their birth had apparently omitted to give either of them any sense of decency or justice. Chicago demanded death for both killers, The whole of the United States endorsed that demand. For a crime so heinous only the electric chair was suf- ficient penalty, - The vast wealth of the Leop- old and Loeb families was mobilized for the defence. But there was no defence, advised Clarence Darrow. Both must plead guilty if he was to han- dle the case. The last chance was to be his plea in mitigation, Darrow defended many mur- derers, and "made some of the greatest defence speeches in the annals of the American Bar. This was his greatest triumph, for in the _face of sizzling public fury against his clients, he saved them from the electric chair. Each received instead a ninety- nine -year sentence of imprison- ment. Richard Loeb is now dead. He was murdered in prison by fellow convicts in 1936. But Nathaniel Leopold Is still living. He is now fifty-two years old. To -day, the gilded youth of 1924 is a grave -faced scholar. He is short and stocky. The dark hair is receding from his brow, his eyes are black, large and luminous. But over the regular features of the once - handsome youth there broods an expression of abiding sad- ness, During his great speech in mitigation at the trial, Clarence Darrow claimed that both men would be fit for parole at fifty. By then, he told the judge and jury, both would have become, as it were, new men, no longer a danger to society, redeemed by long years of punishment and the self -searching of their own hearts. Has it gone like that with Nathan Leopold? Recently he applied for parole, and this is what he said: "I can look into my own heart and ,soul and know positively that I could and would become a useful, de- cent, law-abiding citizen. . How to prove that to others Is another matter." It is improbable .:tat Nathan Leopold will ever be given the opportunity to prove his worth as a free man. But he has al- ready proved his worth as a man while still serving his sen- tence in Illinois State Peniten- tiary, in Joliet, It Is a record without parallel In prison history,- What istory;What Nathan Leopold has achieved in thirty-three years as a prisoner it is given to few men to achieve in a long life- time of freedom. He has made himself one of the greatest all- round scholars in the world. He knows thoroughly no few- er than twenty-eight languages, including that ancient Greek in which, as an undergraduate be- fore the crime, he shone above his class. Useless knowledge in his posi- tion, you protest? Not at all, With the sanction of the gov- ernor Leopold set up as prison schoolmaster. Among the pri- soners serving long sentences for every kind of major crime there are many clever men and some brilliant ones. Leopold offered a course first of all in ancient Greek, and rapidly his class -room filled with enthusiastic students, One idea led to another. There were other men of Learn- ing who also helped by teach- ing. But why courses only for men "inside"? Leopold explain- ed a new idea to the governor. That was in 1933, when Leop- old had been in prison for nine years. The first prison -run cor- respondence school ever was the outcome. It succeeded from the first, led by Leopold and staff- ed by graduate prisoners as teachers. Strangely enough, examina- tion results showed a higher score for prisoner students than for students working as free men, Soon a "pass" from Leop- old's Joliet Correspondence School counted for higher edu- cational purposes. Some univer- sities even accepted it. You might think that enough for one man doing a life stretch. But it is only part of the Leop- old story. He worked for three and a half years as a laboratory as- sistant when the director of the lab, was seeking the cure for malaria, He mastered the tech- nicalities of that work. He also offered himself for guinea-pig experiments. Shifted to the radiological laboratory Leopold studied that science for fourteen years and became a self-made radiologist expert. Assigned to reorganize the prison library after a fire, this astonishing man did the job so thoroughly that he was made custodian of the books. It is probably true to say ti.at Leopold has worked out his own redelnptlon; that to -day, at CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING 1 AGENTS WANTED GO INTO BUSINESS for yourself.

Leopold wishes he had not done so; for, just when he is working to bring about his parole the now nearly -forgotten horror story is revived. "If I obtain a parole," he says, wistfully, "I have an offer to work with a church organiza- tion in Puerto Rico. , My de- sire is to devote the rest of my life to others as further expia- tion for my crime," This amazing man recently finished his autobiography. Of it he says: "My book describes my activities, my thoughts and my feelings about the world, the prison and my- self." That book should be worth reading.
