From the Secretary's report it was learned the society had a very gratify- ing year. The Horticultural park was well ta- ken care of. Marc evergreens were planted fpr a shelter belt outlining the park. A memorisl bird bath was an at- tractive addition this year. An inspir- ing Sunday afternoon religious service was held - in the park. Roses were planted in the center bed, and more will be added this year, Some of the street intersections pl.hnted by the society were very at- tractive, but the corners that was made a driveway 'for cars didn't do so well, . The society provided plants for large beds on either side of the school ent- j ranee also a large bed in Union ceme- tery. The Horticultural display at the Fall Fall was very fine as was the exhibit of over 30 entries of edible animals, created by school pupils from fruits and ,vegetables, and sponsored by the society. This created a great deal of favorable continent and public interest. One Director expressed her opiniott at the annual meeting by saying "It is a privilege to be a member of the Horticultural Society, as a number of much larger centers haven't such an organization, whose sole objective to beautify the Village." Receipts for the year included Muni- 'cipal grant, $100.00; Legislative grant, '66,00: Members fees, 34.50; Sunday Service, 13:00; Donation, 3.72 —.Total, S217.22.

Made Fortune From Charity It was an oddly assorted group that hacl their heads together behind the locked doors of the heavily -curtained living -room. There was the parson's widow, Mrs. Hughes, elderly, grey-hair- ed and bespectacled, in sombre black, Next to her sat Edward `Wellings, who might have pass- • ed as a bank cashier, and the woman who passed as his wife, en attractive brunette of about thirty-six. On the other side of the bare table sat Philip Peach, a rather nondescript -looking man. Beside him, in striking contrast, sat Ed- ward Fane, a military -looking man of distinguished appearance. This meeting was typical of the periodic conferences held in the Wellingses' flat between the wars. For, if forgery is your business, close contact between partners 1s alI-important. Wellings had been examining a cheque. Made out in favour of Mrs. Hughes, it was for a guinea. Signed by the Bishop of Lon- don, it added to Mrs. Hughes large collection yet another valu- able genuine specimen of a signature. Half an hour later Philip Peach . invited his colleagues' • opinion upon that self -same cheque after • treatment. The general opinion was that the cheque had been greatly improved, the figure £150, which now replaced the humble £1 Is. Od., being much admired. Mrs. Hughes, left with a very small income on the death of her husband, had begun by writing to a prominent man ask- ing for financial assistance, mhe success. of this call on charity tempted her to repeat the experiment. Again it came off, and very soon begging let- ter -writing had become her full- time occupation. There was only one snag to it. The benevolent made such mod- est contributions. Then she met the Wellingses. ! They soon pointed out to her that the odd guineas she col- lected by her "literary efforts" did not constitute the real vale of the cheques received, but the genuine specimen signatures thereon. After that, when cheques ar- rived, Mrs. Hughes passed them on for "treatment," Fane, the former Rifle Brigade captain, was not a forger, but he was useful, both as "front" - and signature tout, cadging from the benevolent on behalf of imaginary old soldiers out of luck. When Peach had completed his work of art with pen and ink the next step was to pass the torged cheque successfully. A cheque passed over the counter for cashing may carry a perfect specimen of a well - own customer's signature; but •the person presenting it may betray himself by over -haste or one of those little lapses that arise out of guilty'knowledge. This danger was very neatly overcome, however. Ringing up from a hotel, Wellings would ask for a messenger boy to be lent round. When the boy ar- rived he was dispatched to the bank with a note on the hotel n o t e p a p e i:•, requesting cash against the cheque in the name of a well-known customer. The boy was instructed to go with the cash and settle a small debt at a certain shop and then return .to his employer at the hotel. This method enabled the gang to watch the movements of the messenger boy from first to last, Thus, if they saw that something had gone wrong they warned the waiting man at the • hotel and vanished in haste. The boy might be able to describe his employer, but beyond that there was no clue, The method was so successful that many thousands of pounds were paid out by London banks into the coffers of Wellings, Peach and Co. The "firm" operated a second method of extracting money from the benevolent. And It was here that Fane was the prime mover. Though no longer in the Army, he still belonged to a famous service club. Reputable London clubs have cheque forms which, when filled in 'by a member, become as negotiable as one printed by the bank itself, When Fane secured these cheque forms he passed them over to Peach, There was much to recommend this kind of forgery, for the fact that the presented cheque was on a club form, narrowed down the possibility of fraud. For who would be able to obtain such forms but a club member? And members of such clubs do not usually commit forgery. Fane selected a certain Colonel Gascoigne, a rich member of the club. To him he wrote on behalf of a very hard case — an old soldier with a splendid service record who had fallen on evil days. Would the Colonel send a small donation to the fund he, the writer, was getting up? Prompt- ly came a cheque for two guineas. Passed to Peach, this cheque was never presented for pay- ment. It was simply used to copy the Colonel's signature to cheques made out on the club forms. One of these cheques was made out for £900. As usual a messenger boy was employed end the cash secured without rousing the cashier's suspicions. But when, a few days later, the small boy presented a second cheque for an even l a r g e r amount, the cashier smelt a rat. The boy, perfectly innocent of course, somehow sensed that he had become involved in a crim- inal activity, and ran out of the bank. The second cheque, there- fore, was never cashed. A setback, certainly, but not a disaster, When finally, disaster did overwhelm the forgery firm of Wellings, Peach and Co., it came from quite a different di- rection. Wellings and Peach quarrelled, probably over a division of the swag. And Peach, wishing to in- jure his former partner, sent an anonymous letter in a disguised hand to Scotland Yard "blowing the gaff' on the whole gang. He even took the trouble to explain, in detail, the methods used. Mrs, Hughes and the Welling- ses were arrested. At the Old Bailey the parson's widow stout- ly protested her innocence, but she was convicted and got three years. The Wellingses, husband and wife, got seven •and five years respectively; Fane, debonair to the last, got seven years. Q. How can I keep lettuce, cel- ery, parsley, and mint fresh for a longer time?

Great Gardens All Underground Seven miles north of Fresno, Calif., two blocks west of U.S. Highway 99, is a one-man won- der of the world. Here a fan- tastic maze of passageways, known as the Fresno Under- ground Gardens, consists of 65 rooms, gardens, grottoes, and patios, each differing from the other and all below ground. Many full-grown trees flour- ish. A citrus tree, more than 20 feet below the surface, is graft- ed to bear seven kinds of fruit. Rare shrubs and flowers add s+1'ashes of colour throughout. the project. It seems incredible that one man cuold dig all this alone over a period of even 38 un- • rewarded years. Born near Mes- sina, Sicily, in 1879, Baldasare Forestiere was the son of a pros- perous fruit grower. At 21 the youth emigrated to America, where he got work tunneling under the city of Boston. During the next six years he also helped to build the subway from I New - York to New Jersey and the great Croton Aqueduct. In 1908 he moved to the site of his lifetime project in Fres- no. With his savings and an in- heritance he bought 200 acres of barren desert land at about $10 an acre. Today, however, it is some of the world's most pro- ductive and costliest land. To escape the hot summers, Mr. Forestiere at once dug a deep cellar, remembering the cool depth of the subways. Ho enjoyed his underground home so well that ha soon be- gan to enlarge it, burrowing out a complete and comfortable but unconventional four -room apart- ment. Legend says that after completing his living quarters, Baldasare returned to Sicily when he was about 35 to claim • his childhood sweetheart as his bride, But she rejected him, whereupon he resolved to build alone an underground estate un- like any other, It would be a spectacle 'to bring public won- derment and fame instead of scorn and mockery. From his living quarters he lcept digging out in all direc- • tions, Here he made a tunnel, there a room, over there a pas- sageway, a patio, more rooms, gardens, and grottoes until a veritable maze honeycombed nearly seven acres beneath the earth's surface. Today the gardens stand pre- served as their builder left them. A giant auto tunnel extends more than 700 feet, and arches and columns are found through- out the gardens — hewn in graceful symmetry. Visitors com- pleting their tour through the passageways feel that they have seen a secret world. Prominent engineers who have inspected the work marvel at Mr, Forestiere's • genius, Self- taught, he designed,exactly right .for strength and permanency, No monotony of pattern greets the eye, and the whole project is lighted by the sun. Every- where one sees literally millions of pickmarks in the clay and hardpan writes Aubrey B. Haines In The Christian Science Monitor, Although he was but five feet, four inches tall, he swung his pick, hacking his way through the earth countless times. He shoveled out and hauled away in a wheelbarrow hundreds of tons of dirt. Most incredible of all, however, he could shovel dirt out of an 18 -foot hole — more than three times his own height, Surely, he was among the greatest pick - and - shovel artists of all time I To promote the growth of his underground trees, Baldasare utilized the rich loam of ancient lakebeds some '75 miles away, near Coalinga, Calif. He made countless trips in his rattly Mo- del T Ford pickup to dig and haul back this earth to fill around his plants, W h e n, in 1946, he passed on, his work was still unfinished. But what he achieved is'fast becoming known as the one- man wonder of the world. WRITE KIDDY BOOKS IN JAIL One of America's most popular writers of children's stories wa3 Dale Morey.

The film deals with a newly married couple who start life in a deserted island with the antique bed as their only possession, 'He'll be like that 'til ten, then up in a flash and off to beds' Animal Instinct Or Intelligence? It was pitch-dark, cold De- cember night and the slender, jet -hatred Spanish girl shivered alightly as she lay in bed listen- ing to the wind whistling through the eaves of the old country house. She hated being alone in the house, But it was inevitable that night, Her girl friend, who Heed there with her, had been called way to the sick -bed of her mother in Madrid, How the wind whistled! And how the twenty -two-year-old girl's heart thumped when she suddenly began to think of her plight should a burglar be tempted to break in while she was alone and defenceless. She took a couple of aspirins to try to soothe her frayed nerves. But sleep would not come. Suddenly, the scared girl sat bolt upright in bed. Between gusts of wind she had heard sounds on the ground floor be- low, Then It came -- a crash of glass. The girl leapt out of bed and put on a dressing -gown be- fore plucking up courage to go outside on to the veranda, She could see shafts of flickering light which apparently came from the room beneath. When she finally nerved her- self to go downstairs, she was amazed to find Juan, her friend's pet monkey, chattering excitedly as he confronted one of the armchairs, which was ablaze and burning furiously. The girl swiftly smothered the flames with a rug and then saw that the monkey's face and arms were cut and bleeding and that the glass of one of the French windows had been shattered. It was obvious what had hap- pened, The fire had been cause] by a burning cigarette -end acci- dentally dropped by the girl dur- ing her after -supper smoke there an hour or so earlier. The chair bad smouldered; then burst into flames. The sharp-eyed Juan, who slept In an adjoining outhouse, BOUNCING BELLE - Ballet stu- dent Susan Black is sticking around -all over the landscape.

During that time he learned to scale ninety -foot ladders and was directly responsible for the rescue of several men and women who had been trapped. "Nigger's nose, even in the thickest smoke, told himwhere the fire victims were, although his human fellow -firemen could not locate them," wrote a news- paper reporter. Nigger even rescued two kit- tens from a blazing tenement before going into retirerlient.

Ile swans 200 yards holding the cat by the scruff of the neck to where the owner, a nine-year-old boy, could get to the water to help him. Spot's reward for his hu- manity?

The cat heard them breaking in and pawed its sleeping master till he `awoke, put on the light and caused the burglars to run. Many horses seem to be able to think and reason. Sandy Shore, an old and very clever horse, decided some years ago that the day was too hot for him to race at a trotting meeting at Christchurch, New Zealand. So while the horses paraded he keeled over and deliberately staged a collapse. The crowd thought he was dead. Then, just as a tractor approached to shift him, Sandy got up -- quite fit. By then, of course, the 3.30 had been run without him! A man riding through a forest at night collided with a tree and fell from the saddle unconscious. His horse continued his journey :: and on reaching home kicked at the door until it was opened, e.

"Some people argue that ani- mals have Instinct but no intel- ligence," the late Professor A. M. Low once said; "It may be a matter of degree, for human be- ings do much by instinct with- out intelligence." Animals are sometimes seized with panic, just like human be- ings, and many scientists are convinced that they have the faculty of language, "Animals not only call each ether as human beings do, but communicate their impressions of disquiet, joy and anger,' says a. German scientist who has a high opinion of animals' "think- ing powers." A rabbit 'was attracted by a stoat, he says. Then a man sud- denly appeared and the terrified rabbit crawled despairingly to him, lay down between his legs and said as plainly as wordless speech could; "I leave it to you." The stoat was driven off. The rabbit recovered the use of its limbs and skipped away, joy- fully. The $2 note is traditionally popular among racetrack fans, who find it handy for a $2 -mini- mum bet.

It is bitterly cold and the snow has melted very little. The bird - feeding shelf 1s crowded and one raucous English sparrow jumped In the bird bath, which I had just filled with warm water hop- ing it would not freeze until the birds had a chance to drink. He looked at the other birds and gave a defiant splash, The others contented themselves with drink- ing and the sparrow soon came out, for even bravado couldn't keep him warm enough. The poor lady cardinal sits timidly on the flower -garden fence, waiting her turn. Her hus- band is beautiful, but a bully, and she is never allowed to eat until he has stuffed himself and flown off. Even the sparrows peck her, She is one of the meek with whose inheritance some- thing has gone radically wrong! * * * I wonder if people who sleep late in the morning and who never get out of doors until day- light covers the world know the meaning of the Bible description, "The morning stars sing to- gether?" Those who see the stars in the morning before dawn know its meaning, for in the early morning the stars are set in the sky with a beautiful pre- cision. The twinkling ones hat e disappeared and only the steady ones remain, 'Vlore is something chaste and exquisitely geometri- cal about the pre -dawn sky. * * 4. A covey of partridges live at Upton and feed on the leepetleea seed that drop in the Voids. In spring they call from CRe fence corners, and in winter when snow comes they draw nearer to the house looking for food. Their favorite spot is in the open shed next to the apple house down in the orchard. Here they can find shelter and we always put grain there for them. During the last heavy snow I took a bag 'of cracked corn and oats and started out to feed the partridges, In the orchard the snow was smooth and deep and over the surface was sketched the story of small animals and •birds who had traveled that way. The clumpy tracks of an old hare led to the straw stack. Follow- ing them, I saw where he had hollowed out a snug little nest under the straw, Farther along, headed for the shed, were the dainty tracks of a covey of par- tridges that disappeared on the dry ground under the shed, I threw In some grain and went on across the orchard, along the edge of the woods to a black- berry patch where I was sure the birds sheltered, There under the blackberry vines, safe from hawks, was a little patch of ground cleared by the birds scratching for fallen weed -seed. I thew out more grain and looked out on the quiet earth, green pine tops pinioned against a bright blue winter sky, deerberry bushes laden with red berries curved down to touch the snow. A young oak stood on the edge of the woods, all the brown leaves still holding to the 'branches. The wind made them rattle. I stcpped into the edge of the woods. A brown creeper gave its lis -ling call from the trunk of a sycamore; a cardinal streak- ed past; and cutting across my path ran the delicate trail of a mouse, probably making for his hole under the blackberry bushes. 4 * * Why do some people talk with such assurance about what they are going to do with the world, as though they. owned it, when' really our share is such a small one? Birds and butterflies, bees and flying insects fill the air; tiny animals climb and burrow and scuttle. There is all the intricate pattern of bush and tree, of moss and flower and weed.

Drive With Care Now's The Time To Pian That Garden With the seed catalogues start- ing'to arrive, it is time for for- ward -thinking garden makers to start planning. Annuals are one of the first items to merit at- tention and while it is far too early to do any planting, even indoors, quite a few week ends or evenings may well be devoted to deciding what varieties will be planted this year and where. Facts as to their growing habits, colors and heights should be noted. There are many annuals and a lot of gardens can be planted for a couple of dollars by select- ing carefully, MarIgods, zinnias and petunias are without doubt the three most popular of the annual group and all are showing a yearly steady advance due to the work of the hybridizers. Modern day forms and colors of this group bear practically no resemblance to their ancestors of 20 years ago, so rapid has been the progress. Several very wonderful mari- golds will make their appear- ance this year and they will be covered later on in these col- umns. Generally speaking, the African types will take longer to mature and flower than will the French types though there are some hybrids that will slight- ly upset this schedule. So numerous are the fine var- ieties of marigolds today that one may make mass plantings gradu- ating heights and colors to make a stunning display. They may be used for accent points to supple- ment the perennial border, for edging, or as a spot planting where a spot of vivid but pleas- ing color is needed. Mid -March is about right to start the slower growing African types indoors with the French ones going in about two weeks later. This should result in avail- able plants for setting out in the New York area the 10th to the 15th of May, which is about the safe date in this area. This writer , would divide his seed into two lots, one to be started indoors and the other to be started outdoors at the end of May. Following this plan one will have a fresh supply of plants to take over in the late months of the year when the earlier atarted plants are likely to be blooming out. Annuals are so floriferous, and particularly the marigold, that this tendency to flower them- selve.•, out is natural. Too few gardeners cut their annuals enough. They should be used freely in the home for ar- rangement and maturing flowers going to seed should be snipped off at regular intervals. Once they seed, the quality of flowers will deteriorate. IDEAL NURSERY A seed flat is the ideal nursery in which to start seed. Dnainage material of broken crock or coarse cinders should be placed in the bottom of the box. A mix- ture of equal parts of sharp sand, garden loam and humus will make an ideal seed bed, This should be put through a coarse screen. When filling the box, shake the soil down by striking the box sharply on some solid surface. Never ]et the soil reach to the actual top of box but rather allow a half-inch between soil surface and edge of flat. Water well and then set for a few hours or overnight when the soil may be worked carefully. Make the rows three inches apart and sow thinly so that no crowd- ing may occur. Crowding of plants will result in spindly specimens hard to transplant. As soon as the plants, forst two to four true leaves, they are ready to transplant. I prefer planting them in individual small pots which may be sunk in an- other flat of peat or ashes. Sink them to the run. Following this procedure they may, when the time comes, be planted out in the garden without damage to the roots or setback to the plant. Two weeks before time for set- ting out, the plants should be exposed to outside air on all balmy days to accustom them to the chance in temperature they MYSCIIOtL LESSON By Rev. R. Barclay Warren R.D. Privileges of Church Membership 1 Peter 2:9-10; 2 Corinthians 0:1. 8; Galatians 6:1.5; Hebrews 4:14-16; 10:23-25. The expression, Church Mem- bership, does not occur in the New Testament, However, thea was a fellowship among the be- lievers who met together in their places of worship. Sometimes they exercised discipline upo* delinquents in their midst. (l Corinthians 5), This is seido* done today. Standards for church membership generally have talien to such a low ebb that a churck hesitates to exercise discipl action knowing that the indi1112 ual will likely be received by some other church and no ques- tions asked. The New Testament standard is a high one. This is expressed in the memory selection: "Ye ars a chosen generation, a royd priesthood, an holy nation, a pe- culiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of dark- ness into his marvellous tight." (1 Peter 2:9), 'Peculiar' does not mean 'queer'. It means that we beling to God in a special senses a people for His own possession. It is easy to see why people who have come into this beautiful re- lation with God are "cheerful givers". They receive so much from God that they count it a joy to acknowledge their steward.. ship. The giving of the title, com- manded by the law but practised long before, is the primary basis of their giving. They like to go beyond it. Christians .are concerned for one another, There is a sense in which each must bear his ower pack. But we delight to help others who are overtaxed with crushing loads, In the hour of temptation let us remember that Jesus was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin. He carer far us and will help us if we pray. We are 'urged not to forsake the assembling of ourselves to• gether. We gain• strength frouz fellowship with God's people. Those who deliberately Ieavesthle out except for Christmas and Easter, live empty lives. Many are the privileges 4K those who have been brought into the light of God and wane in His way day by day. IONNEr will undergo. Water enough io keep the plants thriving but don't overdo • it. The seed, under warm house conditions, germin- ates very quickly and most marl - golds will be up and growing within a two-week period frog planting. This is one of the easiest an- nuals to grow and with eves moderate care you should sue- ceed, First decide what varieties you want to grow apd then order them from your seedsman so that you will sure to have the var- ieties you want. Frequently cer- tain varieties are sold out when the late buyers get into actiott,} and the plans you have made will naturally go for nothing. by J. W. Johnston.

We were only half enjoying it before. The other half of the time we were irritat- ed and frustrated. Why? Be- cause we were trying to operate It with "rabbit's ears", We did ge excellent reception but only with Channel 6. We brought our aerial from the farm but did not put it up for two reasons — we couldn't decide definitely where we wanted the set and the lead. in wire, nor just how and where to install the aerial. Television is one of those things , you don't want to be without it and yet it disrupts living -room ar- rangements more than any other piece of furniture. You just have to sort of build around it. I don't wonder so many people put their set in some room other than the living room especially when there are several in the family. But we happen to Want ours in the living -room so we tried it first one place and then another and the aerial waited until we were sure we had hit on the least inconvenient loca- tion. Partner wouldn't have the aerial put on the roof — afraid it might cause leaks. So we de- cided on a chimney mount but not the kind that has straps of metal around the chimney. This is a new contraption that fits inside the chimney and requires no tools, drilling or cutting but yet anchors the aerial firmly to one corner of the chimney. Our antenna is cnly about tcn feet above the chimney and works fine. That, however, night not suit everyone — it all depends on the location of your home; its distance from station trans- mitters and its height above sea - level. If you happen to be in- terested in this type of aerial installation inquire at your tele- vision store for "an internal chimney mount". Thought I would just pass the word along in case anyone might be in- terested. Of course we haven't reached perfection yet -- we still can't get Channel 17 — our set doesn't run to that — but we are not going to worry about it — at least not until our present set gives up the ghost. Sometimes I think. it won't be long until that happens as the picture seems a little darker now than it should be. Oh yes, and before I Rave the subject of TV aerials 1 should mention that quite a few of our neighbours have their aerial installed in the attic. The reception is very good but we didn't. fall for the idea be - eau: -.e we imagined there might I,e a greater fire hazard. Wt couldn't see that it would be properly grounded. Perhaps we are wrong but that was our int - 'pression anyway. Now I am going to tell you about a very different piece of equipment and the reasons that led to its installation. This is not in the same category as tele- vision. It is not a luxury but rather a necessity for healthy living conditions. We felt the need of it long before we left the farm but here it seems doubly necessary. What is it? What is it? A portable humidi- fier no less - - to counteract the dry air in the house. At the farm we had a quart -size water - pan on the furnace. We also had small pails of water placed in- side the registers and of course with the good old kitchen stove going there, was always a cer- tain amount of steam arising from tea kettles and boiling pots and pans. Here there was nothing at all to create moisture. In the morning Partner would wake up coughing and I would wake dur- ing the night with a throat like a nutmeg grater. So we knew something had to be doneand started making inquiries. We found that a self-feeding water - pan could be installed on the furnace — which, incidentally, many people already have and do not use. While we were con- sidering this type I remembered that several years ago friends of ours had bought an electric humidifier and thought it won- derful. I phoned Mrs. N ... and asked for more particulars, "Oh, yes, they still liked it — wouldn't be without it for anything — never have colds any more." So we contacted a home appliance store and had a similar one sent up on trial. 1t looks like a space heater, plugs into any outlet and holds about 2 gallons of water, A small meter comes with it. It records the amount of mois- ture in the air. Dry is 30; nor- mal 40 to 60; moist GO to 80. '1'0 start with it registered 30. It took two or three days to get the moisture content up to 45. The result? Almost unbelievable! No coughing or parched throats. Even so, after a weak we de- cided a larger one was necessary to take care of the whole house as we have it plugged in in the hallway, We made the ex- change and now we can keep, the whole house at 50 degrees of moisture quite easily, The cost was not prohibitive — about D"onkeys Sold For Sixpence Whoever started the story that donkeys are stupid was himself rather stupid, a professor of nat- ural history said recently, Don- keys have brains of a high order and have proved time after time that they can use them in an emergency. Not long ago a donkey saved four people from almost certain death in a blinding snowstorm on the Swiss mountain, the Jung - frau. Overtaken by the storm, they decided to try and reach their hotel alone and not wait for a guide, so they set off with the donkey. As they stumbled along blindly the donkey suddenly stopped and refused to budge, All the party could do was to huddle together and await the arrival of a guide three hours later, They then found that the donkey had halted them on the edge of a very deep crevasse hidden by snow. A man living in the Outjo district of South-West Africa was traveling to town in a cart drawn by two donkeys when/three lions appeared in the roadway. The donkeys unhesitatingly charged the lions at breakneck • speed, dragging the cart with them. The lions fled, leaving the donkeys to continue their journey peacefully. Yes, it's a mistake to under- rate the donkey. Most of 'the donkeys in Britain today were bred in Eire, but their numbers are declining, Are donkeys doom- ed to become extinct in this country? a naturalist asked re- cently, A donkey is a comparatively rare sight today, though down on the south coast you can see plenty of them taking part in the very popular donkey race meet- ings which were featured in a recent Tit -Bits article. In Victorian times hundreds were seen in the London streets. The old costermongers could buy a donkey for £2 or £3 and called him a "moke". A census of London donkeys a quarter of what you would pay for a TV set — and the returns certainly compensate for the initial outlay. Partner and I agreed it should be our Christ- mas present to ourselves. Our doctor -neighbor says It is a wise investment; that half the coughs and colds are the result of dry, overheated houses. I know Daughter has a small vaporizer always on hand for the children. At the first sign of a croupy cough on goes the steamer and it never fails to bring good re- sults. some years ago revealed that not more than 50 were left, Yet in Cape Province, South Africa, a few years ago, donkeys were so plentiful that they were being sold at sixpence each.

You're Already On ,A Rocket Ship! You may not have realized It, but you're living on a space ship, According to Dr, James G. Gaume of the Martin Co-npany, "the earth itself (is) a giant apace ship hurtling t'irough apace with a velocity Of 18,0 miles .Ree.second," This is ' why man -mads+ space ships that are designed for lengthy trips among the: stars will have to simulate many of the physical characteristics and natural processes of the earth. Dr. Gaume told a space medi- eine symposium at the recent annual meeting of the American Association`for the Advancement of Science that because our Janet is such, a good space ship its principal features paint to those which must also be in- cluded in man-made ships, "On this space ship (earth),'' he explained, "we live in a closed ecological system sealed off by the earth's gravity from an unfriendly environment of apace. "By this force of gray!.ty, oxy- gen, water and other physically unattached matter essential to Me is retined at the surface and is available for our use. The atmosphere is also cur protector, shielding us from such danger- ous space phenomena as meteor- ites, solar and cosmic sedition, which are destroyed or attenu- ated in passage through the at- mosphere. "In his attempts at flight into hostile space, man must provide himself with all the essentials of Me found on earth," Dr, Gaume drew a distinction between short-term space flights and those of long duration, No- one is sure just where this dis- tinction should be drawn. How- ever, as a rough guess, Dr. • Gaume said he would draw it at a flight time of less than two or three weeks. In short-term flights, some of earth's vital functions can be dispensed with. But all of them will be essential to flights longer than the two - to - three - week Hmit, For example, Dr. Gaume said that for short - tei m flights ' enough oxygen, 'chen;ical carbon dioxide absorbers, and food and water can be stored on board ,to.' last out the flight, writes Robert 4 C. Cower. in The Christian Sci- ence Monitor. But for long-term flights, -he•+ said that "the weight of such stored materials is likely to be jprohibitive, at least for present and near -future propulsive sys- tems." Therefore ,he added, men will have to design "a closed system in which matter will be recycled over and over, thereby eliminat- ing the necessity of carrying large quantities of stored es- sentials and accumulating large quantities of waste." This business of figuratively reproducing the earth in minia- ture in a space ship is exceeding- ly complex. Engineers are no- where near to having the neces- sary know-how to do it, On the other hand, it seemed to be the concbnsus among space )research experts here that prob- lems of reasonably short-term o ace flight are close to being i1Cked, And even if men are not yet ready for the two -to -three- week flights, trips beyond the atmosphere are considered al- ready feasible for brief periods. In this connection, itwas pointed out that Air Force Maj. David Simons, who rode a bal- loon to 100,000 feet, spent hours et an altitude where for: many 'purposes, he was virtually living in space. It was also the consensus of Ulm PEACE POSTAGE - Commemorating the recent Asian•Afrieon Peoples Solidarity Conference held in Cairo, this new Egyptian stamp features the traditional peace symbol=a white dove with olive branch. Too Much Time On Their Hands Ministrations and portents be- ing favorable, we called the other evening on Red and Alice Cous- ins, who had asked us to, and we found out Red is a clock fan- cier. I never knew a clock fan- cier before, and . the evening proved interesting, if not wholly enjoyable. That is to say, eight o'clock was all right, and nine o'clock wasn't too bad, but we left before ten, Ten o'clock would be too much, I know, Back in the cultural history of Boston there was, once, a grand festival of something or other in which red-shirted firemen whanged sledges on anvils for a stirring presentation of the An- vil Chorus, and it must have been a lot like an evening at the Cousins's. Somehow, without ever bring- ing it to the fore, I had a sub- jugated notion that I liked clocks. I didn't do anything about it the way Red has, but once we had a steeple clock with a pleasant manifestation of the hours, and when it collapsed I didn't throw it away. I set it on a beam in the barn thinking sometime I might give it a look or two and put it back•in service. Truth is, I have *often thought it might be fun to have a clock on the kitchen shelf that runs backwards, and chimes 22 at the half hour, and things like that, and 1 had a half -idea I might -.•somehow work out such a phe- .::pomenon. However, the clock is Mill on the beam, and. we have modernized our household with an electric timepiece. We still have a galvanized dawn -buster in the bedroom to start us a -jumping on the new day. The only other clock we em- ploy is a kitchen gadget which doesn't strike the hours, but does give off a chime if anybody sal- utes the back door. It was sup- posed to do the same for the front door, but a wire broke and I never fixed it. In short, we don't pay too much attention to the time or the front door, and this one clock takes care of us. Mr. Cousins, having greeted us and undertaken a narrative, had just said, "And there was this bobcat bearing down on poor Aunt Millicent, with her berry the experts here that there is no longer any question of men traveling among the planets. It Is only a question of when they will be ready to do it. Trips around the moon could start within the next 20 to 30 years, they said. Meanwhile, as a few hand- picked experts prepare to go ad- venturing with the stars, the rest of us can join in the spirit 'of the space age by remembering that our old familiar planet is already the best possible space ship that could be built, RIG AS A TRUCK -This huge aluminum body with a capacity of 371/2 cubic yards is the largest ever built for a dump truck.

The truck, for off-highway use, Is powered by a 335 -horsepower turbocharged diesel engine, carrying a load of 67,00 pounds. pail stuck on over her head, and , . ." At this point it was eight o'clock. There commenced a dainty jingling from a blue Dres- den china . contrivance on the high -boy followed by a bellow or alarm from a Seth Thomas in the front hall. Then all the others joined in, some fast, some slow- er, all unlike, and each adjusted to a different degree of notoriety. Mr, Cousins, being at home, continued to discourse, but what- ever he said was now unheard. My wife, after running twice around the library table, sat down again and looked embar- rassed, and I found I had shoved one of my decorous and dainty feet between the rungs eke kind of glass -topped stoop tale in such a way that the table could not remove itself and go about its business. Suddenly the tumult was at an end; the last piercing echo faded in the far confines of the kitchen; a gentle delicacy of friendly quiet fell over the do- micile; and once again Mr. Cousins's superbly modulated voice was heard, saying, "... but Aunt Millicent was never known to pick another blueberry from that time on." This consequence raised in, lay mind a number of questions in social ethics. First, would it be all right if I removed one shoe in this polite and hospitable par- lor in order to extricate myself, and if so, should I inquire, first, of my hostess if I might do so? "May I dip my bread in the bean juice?" is the sort of thing I mean. I never knew a hostess to say no to this reasonable re- quest, however much it violates the true rules of gentility, but this might not be just the same. Then there was the matter of the oddity itself - was it proper to turn to Mr, Cousins at this time and ask about the state of his mental equipment, delving into the judgement, perspicacity, and relative humidity of any- body who would keep such a conglomeration of confusion? How does : one become a clock fancier for real? Why does one? And how long does it take to learn to live with the things? Frankly, the erudition and abil- ity of Mr, Cousins is otherwise revelation of this clock mena- gerie insinuates certain doubts which tease the guest to wild thoughts of inquiry. Most of all, however, I re- flected on the story he had just told. Never before have Mr. Cousins's boyhood recollections, as related first to last, been in- terrupted in my presence, and I know that all `of them have been gesrts of down -East hilarity; redolent with flavor and salty, as they say. His gift of narrative is extreme, and one of the fine things about knowing him is the chance to hear him. Yet here was what may well have been one of his finest ora- tions obscured totally by the -hour of eight, and in due process of events it might chance that there would never be another oc- casion to hear this same story through. Should I ask him to re- peat, it, timing himself so the neat storm of -chimes and bongs wouldn't offend? At nine o'clock we were ready for the din, and I had handled the approach so the ball was on my side of the net when it start- ed. I finished a sentence just as the first bleat of the china clock titillated the congenial scene, and theri I closed my eyes and kept silent throughout. When quiet was again restored Mr. Cousins said, "I see you have noticed my clocks." He then spoke about then for a time, telling us where each had originated and why he cherished it, and along about a quarj.er to ten I was able to invent several good and sufficient reasons why the visit should be terminated. As we drove away, with Mr, and Mrs. Cousinswaving from their door, the resounding background told us we were on time. -- By John - Gould in The Christian Science Molitor. Drive With Care Ship's Doctor Never At Sea Dr. Guido Guide, of Rome, treats more patients in a year than a score of ordinary doctors put together, yet he has never seen one of them and he re- ceives no fees for the treatment he prescribes, The reason is that this sixty - year -old Italian physician -is a ship's doctor who never goes to Lea. He treats his many sailor patients entirely by short-wave radio, and he gives his services voluntarily. Dr. Guida, startedhis free medical service for sailors back in 1935 when he heard that the crews• of many ships at sea lack- ed medical aid. The authorities approved of his idea, and for the short-wave sending and re- ceiving set fitted up in his sur- gery he was allotted the call sign MEDRAD (Medical Radio) and CIRM (International Centre Radio Doctor). So, to -day, if a sailor in a merchantman at sea is stricken with an illness, the treatment of which is beyond the captain's resources, he can call up MED - RAD CIRM for expert advice. If reception in Rome is poor other ships will relay his mes- sage. The captain can then de- scribe the patient's symptoms so the doctor can make a diag- nosis and prescribe treatment. By keeping in radio touch with the ship the doctor can follow the course of the ailment. Britain, too, has a free radio medical service for ships at sea. Operated by the Post Office Radio Stations at Land's End and Portishead, this free "med- ico service" enables ships' cap- tains to seek expert medical ad- vice and assistance at any time of the day or night. Early one morning the duty operator at Portishead Radio Station received an emergency call from a British freighter ploughing through stormy seae in the Atlantic. A sixteen -year- old deck boy had been suddenly taken ill, and the captain radi- oed the lad's symptoms and asked for advice. The operator immediately got in touch with a local hospital and within an hour signalled the diagnosis of appendicitis re- quiring prompt surgery.
