age. I don't know what happen-
ed, but their marriage only last-
ed two years! It makes one
ponder.
"Can you give me some rules
on how to make my husband -
to -be contented, and keep him
thinking I am the only girl in
the world?"
Marriage success depends so
much on background, tempera-
ment and the will to com-
promise that this is really a big
order; a few fundamental hints
can be cut to size by smart
fiancees, however, and fitted
to their problems.
One of the leading causes
for divorce in this country is
opposing opinions on how to
spend the family income. The
time to discuss this is before
marriage. If your fiance has
not talked frankly about his
income and the living stand-
ard it permits, you two had
better get down to brass tacks
and make up a budget. True,
you will revise it after mar-
riage puts it to the test, but
you should start with one,
no matter how simple.
It you do not know what
problems your fiance faces in
his business, inform yourself
now. A man likes to discuss
his daily triumph and failures
when he gets home, and his
wife is the one to applaud or
sympathize. She is his part-
ner, and should be his favorite
audience, so he will not be
tempted to search elsewhere
for understanding.
Never make dates for going
out or entertaining without
consulting him. Your home is
his home, too, you know, Wel-
come his friends whether you
want to or not, and make a
real effort to win their admira-
tion and their confidence. He
relies on them, sothey must
be worth knowing-
In the intimacy .A1;rrrarriage
it is easy to let "yorsr manners
down. Never orrril "please"
and "thank you". Compliments,
and a little judicious flattery
brighten the daily routine and
maintain his wellbeing and
yours, too. Learn to be a good
housekeeper, of course, but
don't make that your initial
ambition; being a good com-
panion is every bit as import-
ant. Keep up with what's
going on beyond your neigh-
orhood, so you won't confine

Silent Finland
The Finland of centuries past,
and centuries to come, needs no
re-creation in the mind. It lies
there, before the eyes, yesterday,
today, seemingly forever.
Its silence and its solitariness,
too, seem' to spring from etern-
ity. Thereare tens of miles of
forest, lake and moorland, un-
broken by a single house; there
is here a dimly -tracked road,
there a scarcely -worn path.
Where flelds have been culti-
vated they are not neatly rim-
med with hedges and fences to
break the limitless landscape,
but divided only by ditches
which the eye barely notes.
Roads, paths, ditches . all disap-
pear in a vast sea of whiteness
once winter comes and snow be-
gins to fall. In summer the still-
ness is undisturbed by whir of
Bain or tractor; in winter it is
deepened by the snow that blots
out sound as well as mark of
footfall.
It is a stillness other than, a
mere absence of sound; it has
its own quality, as positive as
that of sound, and it gives to
every note that breaks it a qual-
ity to which the noisier West
has become deafened. The Fin-
nish language, so rich and var-
ied in expression, has its great-
est wealth in words which de-
scribe minute variations of
sound which any but the Finns
would fail to hear. When the
wind soughs in the pine trees,
it is humista. When the wind
soughs in the birch trees, it is
kohista. Neither verb can be
used in the place of the other.
The birds of Finland seem,
too, to share this heightened
human sensitivity to every ca-
dence. The notes of a piano,
softly played in a lonely coun-
try house, will draw them round
the windows to sing in concert.
The landscape is made of a
surprising mixture of monotony
and variety, The forests, the
lakes and the desolate moor-
lands roll on for hours and
miles, yet their monotony grows
all the time more impressive.
There are few 6f the small,
fleeting and delicious vistas of
England which disappear before
the inward eye has had time to
photograph them. Instead the
scene repeats itself, impresses
itself with increasing intensity,
and binds its spell all the time
more firmly. — From "Green
Gold and Granite," by Wendy
Hall.

Can you smell it . . . see it
. , . sense it . , . that first touch
of spring? Oh yes, I know it is
actually a long way off — there
is still snow on the ground and
we may yet have blizzards, ice -
storms and heaven knows what
— but not, we hope, anything
like they are experiencing in
Newfoundland at this moment.
Here there is a certain some-
thing in the air that precedes
the coming of spring. There is
a difference in the early morn-•
ing sun -rays; in the way the
birds fly; in the colour of the
willow branches. What's more
you may even see crows flying,
We have seen two and yesterday
a cock -pheasant came running
across our back lawn. Above all
haven't you noticed a lifting of
your own spirits? Isn't it won-
derful what, even the thought
of spring can do to a person?
We begin to think of gardens,
Feed catalogues, baby chicks and
wee lambs. Oh yes, and house-
cleaning — that, I suppose is
inevitable. But not, I hope, while
it is still wet and slushy outside.
Instead, maybe we can wonder
— belatedly — where all those
leisure winter hours have gone!
Or didn't you have any? Some
people just don't have any spare
tim, or having it lack the energy
to make use of it, which may
result from a number of rea-
sons.
Yesterday, for instance, I had
a letter in which the writer said
— "I feel so disgusted when I
look backover the winter
months and realize how little I
have to show for it. I have tried
to knit and sew but can't seem
to do much, not even reading,
except for glancing at the
papers. Everything seems too
much effort and I just lie and
think of all the things I want
to do and can't." I wonder how
many people share her feelings.
That letter worried me because
of its depressed attitude. 'The
writer is a clever woman, artis-
tic, capable, loves good music,
and can make a home out of al-
most nothing. She and her hus-
band live on a fifty -acre farm
and because they don't keep anj'
help, her time is probably
pretty well taken up with house-
hold duties. It isn't like her to
just "sit and think of all the
things she would like to do an
can't." Incidentally they don't
have a television set.
When a person feels that way
it is time to look for a reason—
possibly consult a doctor. A
doctor will know if there is any-
thing physically wrong but 1
always think the person herself
is a better judge of what to do
to occupy her mind — and that
sometimes depends upon what
she does with her hands, Crea-
tive work is usually the best —
and it can take so many forms—
painting, pottery, piecing quilts
.or just ordinary sewing and knit-
ting. A grandmother is never at
A loss to know what she shall
sew or knit! And when the hands
are active the mind has less
time to worry about physical
aches and pains. " Last week 1
went to see an old lady of 84
who had fallen and broken her
left wrist. She was wearing her
third cast with just her fingers
free. And what do you suppose
she was doing? Piecing a quilt -
top, no less! "Oh, I'm slow," she
admitted, "but I've plenty of
time and I get there — and the
work is keeping my fingers ex-
ercised." She certainly wasn't
worrying about the things she
couldn't do but was determined
to do as much as she was able,
On the other side of the scales
we have w o m e n, particularly
farm women, who push them-
selves beyond endurance and be-
come over -tired and nervy as a
result, Housecleaning .— every
nook and cranny must be gone
over. Every bit of woodwork
washed and some of it painted.
Floor varnished and waxed,
Pictures and ornaments cleaned
and polished.
Every housewife knows the
story. But sometimes I wonder
do we own our possessions
or do they own us? Taking care
of plants and knack -knacks takes
time, In fact- as the years go by
these things become a time-con-
suming worry, either to the
owner, or If she becomes sick
to those who have charge of her,
Do we really value these things
so much? It so, why? I am ask-
ing myself that as well as you,
Among my -collection is a piece
of wood, brought back from
Egypt by an aunt long before 1
was born. It is supposed to be
from the Mount of Olives. A
tiny Irish• lustre jug previously
owned by a grandmother I never
even knew and odds and ends
of ornaments, painted or carv-
ed, brought back from Switzer-
land by Partner's father. Well.
I am now creating a treasure of
more practical value and making

out - I have been afraid to try(
I have done 220. As I say it is
my TV work — I couldn't be at
peace with my conscience if I
were to watch TV with idle
hands. I made a spread last year
by utilizing the same time. Heir-
looms for my children as they
sill last forever they are so
strong.
Beauty Routine
For Busy Hands
Our hands become so occupied
with household tasks at times
that we give them little oppor-
tunity to take cote of themselves,
If yours have been guilty of
disappearing behind your back
or under the table on social oc-
casions lately, console yourself
with the thought that even a
busy pair of hands may become
attractive In a week's time 11
you follow a simple hand -beauty
routine,
Begin and end your day by
massaging them with a lotion or
a cream, Follow the lame proce-
dure before and after each task
that is particularly hard on your
hands, If they are rough and red,
cover them with a face cream
' and a pair of loose cotton mitts
for a few nights,
Use a commercial softener if
the water in your locality is hard,
and protect your hands further
by wearing rubber or neoprene
gloves for cleaning, dishwashing
and laundry work.
Keep a pair of warm gloves
handy in the kitchen and slip
them on each time you venture
out inti the cold, even if it is
only for a few minutes.
Use of cream, lotion and gloves
will benefit your nails as well
as your hands. If your nails break
easily because they are brittle,
increase your orange juice intake
and drink one envelope of color-
less gelatin dissolved in water
daily, Give your nails a protec-
tive coat of lacquer, either clear
or colored. To make your mani-
cure last longer, add a film of
lacquer or a topcoat daily.
Your cuticle will take care of
itself if you press it back from
the tip of (he nail toward the
base each time you dry your
hands. If the cuticle is hard,
soak your hands in soapy water
and then press lightly around
the nail base with a cotton -tip-
ped stick in cuticle remover.
Damp hands chap easily so al-
ways dry them thoroughly.

Modern
Etiquette...

Q. Is it considered proper to
repeat a person's name when y0*
are acknowledging an introduc-
tion?
A. This is not only proper, but
practical too. Many persons fall
to remember the names of peo-
ple to whom they are introduced.
Repeating the name, as, "How do
you do, Mr, Garrison," helps to
Imprint the name in one's me-
mory.
Q. Is ilt proper to ask the
guest -of -honor at our dinner
table to say grace before the
meal?
A. Only if your guest is a
clergyman. Otherwise grace
should be spoken by the host or,
in his absence, by the hostess.
Q. Should u woman walk on
a short distance, or should she
wait wtih her escort while he
pays the taxi fare?
A. She should wait with her
escort.
Q. What is the proper length
of time for a young woman to
wear mourning for her father?
A. This is entirely up to her.
The custom of wearing mourning
is not so strict as it formerly
was. Many people do not con-
sider it necessary at all.

Why Australia
Wins in Sport
Within a month, two Austra•
Mans, llcrb Elliott and Mery
Lincoln, have each broken the
four -minute mile; eight Austra-
lian swimmers have broken
world records, and countryman
Lew !load has been breaking
rancho Gonzales's grip on the
pro tennis championship. Here
Elm Russell, an Australian news-
man 'for 25 years, analyzes this
phenomenon for NEWSWEEK.
,s • •
Jt was a foregone conclusion
that the Soviet Union and the
United States would dominate
the 1956 Olympic Games at Mel-
bourne, but in finishing third,
Australiascored a moral victory
on a statistical basis, in the eyes
of local rooters. Russia won 4.9
medals for every 10 million peo-
ple in its population; the U.S.
won 4.6 for each 10 million.
Australia, with a population of
1.5 million (far less than New
York State's 15 million), won 35
Individual medals. We were
clear winners by more than 7 to
1, the way we put, it.
Australia has won the Davis
Cup, symbol of world domin-
ance in tennis, seven times ilight years, the latest triumph
being the work of Mervyn Rose,
18, Mal Anderson, 23, and Ash-
ley Cooper, only 21. AustralIa's
cricket team has just defeated
South Africa. Its professional
Rugby football team went
through last year's world round
robin without a loss. The coun-
try's swimmers and track stars
— many of them teen-agers —
have kept the record -book edi-
tors busy.
Tennis, swimming, and track
are the cheapest sports in Aus-
tralia, and the best organized,
A visit to a municipal swimming
pool costs sixpence; a weekend
of tennis with free balls costs
less than $1. It is a common
eight on a Saturday morning to
see hundreds of boys and girls
leaving their homes for an hour
of mass coaching under local
tennis pros. The cost is 35 cents.
(The actual teaching is not
novel. Australian coaches have
merely adopted the Califonia
*big game.") Darkness does not
stop tennis in Australia; public
courts are equipped with flood-
light systems.
In the suburbs of Sydney,
children come on a court in
batches of 30 and practice strok-
Ing. After an hour, another
group is ready, From 8 a.m. till
goon, every hour on the hour,
there is a fresh squad. Junior
clubs are formed, and regular
weekend competitions are orga-
nized. Before' long the players
who show special promise are
"elected for interdistrict teams.
The standouts here are chosen
for more advanced coaching by
state tennis associations. The
best of these are then sent
around the country with a man-
ager and all expenses paid.
When the sifting process has
volved further, the outstand-
ing players are finally chosen for
state teams and play against the
best from other states.
Out of the rigors of this com-
petition come stars like Ken
Rosewall, Lew Hoad, and Mal
Anderson. Each is put under a
permanent manager -coach, such
as Harry Hopman, and sent
around the world at the ex-
pense of the Lawn Tennis Asso-
ciation of Australia. Australian
amateurs, unlike those in the
U.S., are -permitted to work for
tennis -equipment companies, but
what makes the whole early
program possible Is the tremen-
dous national enthusiasm for
tennis.
This pattern of organization
and coaching extends into swim-
ming. "My kids," says Frank
Guthrie, one of Australia's best
swiminilig coaches, "come from
as far as 10 miles• away twice a
day. They work out from 6 a.m:
to 8 a,m,, then return a second
time between 3 and 5 in the af-
ternoon. Sometimes you see a
world -record holder like Brian
Wilkinson (butterfly) thrashing
his way through a hundred
kids."
Australian coaches modify the
American swimming technique
by teaching bigger, longer, slow-
er strokes. "Our leg work,"
Guthrie says, "Is much smaller
than that of the Americans, so
our swimmers are not as leg -
bound."
Sam Herford, who developed
Murray Rose, the Olympic 400 -
meter and 1,500 -meter champion,
expresses technique in terms of
percentages. "Our style, is made
up of 80 per cent arm action
and 20 per cent leg work, With
the Americans, it's about 65 per
cent arms,"
In track, Australian national
willingness to travel has had a
great deal to do with the suc-
cess of Herb ,Elliott, the only
teenager ever to break the four -
minute mile. Elliott, a star
sprinter in school -in Western
Australia, moved to 'Victoria in

TV PATRON SAINT — This por -
rait, by Giotto's master Cima-
bue, is of St. Clare of Assisi,
St. Clare was named the patron
saint of television by Pope Pius
XII. According to tradition, in
1252 the saint "watched" a
mass being celebrated in a
church several miles from her
sick bed, qualifying her as
mediatrix for all persons con-
nected with the industry, ac-
cording to the Roman Catholic
Church,
track coach brought to Aus-
tralia by the Victorian Athletic
Association, A day later, Cerut-
ty put Elliott through a session
of weight -lifting, followed by a
barefoot run over a sandy, un-
dulating training track. Then
Elliott returned to camp and,
with two companions, packed
haversacks for a 30 -mile hike.
The meal he took, atypical of
Australia, incicded nuts, raisins,
cabbage leaves, bread, and a
pint of milk. Neither Cerutty
nor his proteges, willing to try
anything once, find the diet or
the training routine strange.
"Down here," Cerutty says,
"you get beauty. Beauty of your
soul that can give you strength,
You will not get that on a cinder
track, with the noise of the city
in your ears and petrol fumes
filling your nose,"
The answer is not, of course,
in one man like Cerutty. It lies
amid the roots of a vigorous
young nation, which has em-
braced sports nationally — not
with the idea of mass enjoyment
so. much as with the idea of
winning.
If Americans consider them-
selves intensely competitve, as
they properlydo, perhaps the
current difference lies • in the
tender age level at which highly
organized techniques first set
that intensity in motion in Aus-
tralia.
How Can 1?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I make bay rum?
A. Mix one dram oil of bay,
eighteen ounces of alcohol, eight-
een ounces of water, Then filter
it through magnesia,
Q. How can I make black
putty?
A. Mix whiting and antimony
sulphide (the latter finely pow-
dered) with soluble glass. It is
claimed that after hardening,
this putty can be polished with
a burnishing agate.
Q. How can I make a substi-
tute for a pastry board?
A. Try using a piece of clean
white tablecloth. It is more easily
cleaned than a board, and can
be rolled up and put away in a
clean place for the next time
wanted.

Vegetables divide themselves
into several main groups. There
are those that are hardy like
lettuce, radish, the first potatoes,
carrots, beets, cabbage, peas and
such things. These can be plant-
ed almost as soon as• the soil is
fit to work. They will not mind
a touch of frost.
Then there are the semi -ted -
der things like the main planting
of potatoes, beans, corn and so
on. These should not be planted
until danger of frost is over and
the soil and air are beginning
to warm out.
At the end are the really ten-
der tomatoes, melons, cucum-
bers, peppers, etc. Frost will kill
• these instantly and they will
not thrive untli both soil and
sun are really warm.
From all of this the beginner
should not decide to plant all
of his vegetables in the order
mentioned, These directions are
only for the first of each group.
In order to spread out the gar-
den, both for flowers and vege-
tables, it is vidtal to spread out
the seeding dates.
Something Will Grow
There is a lot more interest and
satisfaction in gardening i4 one
plans to make plants fit. No two
vegetables, flowers of shrubs are
exactly the same. There are, of
course, the familiar differences
in height or colour or season.
But there are just as definite dif-
ferences that are not nearly so
obvious,
Some plants, for example, pre-
fer full sun, many 'do not and
quite a few indeed actually like
a fair amount of shade at least
for part of the day. There are
similar individual preferences in
the way of soil, some liking • it
rich, some poorer, some heavy
and some light, If we want to
get the best out of our garden
then we should cater to these
likes and dislikes. No matter how
unfavourable the location seems,
there is certainly something that
will like it and do well.
For Special Locations
For steep slopes, preferably
rocky — even though we may
have to put the rocks there our-
selves — there are a score or so
of special plants, mostly tin y
that thrive in such a location.
These are listed under the gen-
eral heading of "Rock Garden"
plants, They need very little
soil or moisture and they will
add colour and cover to any bit
of steep ground,
Then there are other flowers
that literally pine for shade,
things` like begonias, violets,
pansies, lily of the valley and so
on. These are just the right sort
for planting on the north side of
house or wall, or other places
where the ground is heavily
shaded. Here too is the right
place for the wild flower garden.
There is even special grass for
shady locations.
At the opposite end of the scale
are those flowers which will not
do well unless they get lots of
sun, things like poppies, nastur-
tiums, portulaca a n d many
others. Most of there are not very
particular about soil or moisture
but they do love the hot sun,
OPERATION 1TCH
A very nervous patient was
pleading with a doctor at a hos-
pital that he really didn't need
an operation. "There's nothing
wrong with mei" he argued, "ex-
cept that my appendix itches."
"Good," replied the doctor
with a smile, "we'll take it right
out."
"Ju' t because it itches?"
"Certainly," the doctor boom-
ed. "Have to take it out before
we can scratch it."

Thought Bicycle
Part Of Rider
Keen on travel? More and
more people are these days, and
In recent years the outlook for
the prospective globetrotter has
Improved considerably. Coun-
trles which after the war were
barred to tourists are now re-
placing their "Keep -Out" signs
with "Welcome" mats.
It is still comparatively easy,
however, for the traveller to
get bogged down in a mire of
officialdom and red tape. Pass-
ports, visas, customs and cur-
rency regulations, inoculations,
restrictions on photography —
these are some of the aspects of
overseas travel which cause
frayed tempers and infuriating
delays,
But when thirty -eight-year-
old Frenchman Maurice Claude
travels abroad he always man-
ages to steer clear of these com-
ulications and pitfalls. Maurice
has just returned to his home
in Camblanes, France, after a
20,000 -mile cycle tour of Africa.
Passport? He hasn't got one.
Visas? Not for Maurice. Cur-
..((ency problems? Eliminated —
1 e took no money with him.
inoculations? "I'm trying to
give them up," laughs Maurice.
How does he get away with
It? The answer is that he
doesn't always, But most of the
time officials are so staggered
by his casual simplicity and
forthcoming honesty that thay
let him go on his way.
For Maurice is no ordinary
traveller. A member of tho
Order of St. Francis of Assisi,
he Left home three years ago to
prove to himself and the world
that it is possible to travel any-
where with nothing more than
the bare essentials of life.
"It's all done by kindness," is
Maurice's philosophy. His was
slot the hitch -hiking, do -it -on -
the -cheap, scrounging type of
travelling that has become so
'widespread.
He asked nothing in return
for his kindness—not even food
or shelter. Whatever gifts were
pressed upon him by grateful
natives or Europeans he would
dispose of to others; whenever
he was given money, he spent
acme on drugs and medicines
for the Africans and sent the
zemainder home to his wife.
A carpenter by trade, Maur-
ice Claude found plenty to keep
him occupied among the ram-
shackle buildings of native vil-
lages, and his knowledge of
medicine and first aid was al-
ways valuable. Ile' carried pen-
icillin and sulphur drugs in his
pack, but refused to use them
to treat his own .illness.
This remarkable man wand-
ered through some of the wild-
est parts of Africa with an al-
most incredible disdain for his
own safety and a disarming be-
lief in the ultimate goodness of
his fellow men. Not always was
this belief justified.
IIe was captured by fierce
Okande tribesmen who tied him
hand and foot and threatened
him with death. He, persuaded
them to let him treat the sick
of their villages and so success-
ful was his treatment that the
tribe::mmn soon became his
staunch friends,
In bort Lamy, French Equa-
torial Africa, he was imprison-
ed as a lunatic. No one would
believe his story. At the time
he was suffering from blackwa-
ter fever caused by neglected
malaria,
The French authorities de-
cided to ship him back to
France to save him from him-
self, So weak that he could
hardly stand. Maurice slipped
his guards, wriggled through a
small window and dropped to
the ground. He found his bi-
cycle and leaving all his other
possessions behind, cycled off
into the dark jungle.
He pedalled his way from
French Sudan into Nigeria. For
several days he stayed in Kano,
then left only four hours ahead
of the Nigerian police who
wanted to arrest him and
charge him with illegal entry
into the country. He returned
to Nigeria by another route.
Often he was attacked by
wild animals. On one occasion
a herd of elephants stampeded
towards him. He fell off his bi-
cycle and lay on the path in
front of them, shamming death.
Miraculously they stopped and
after looking down at his mo-
tionless body they turned and
went away.
Another time, rounding a
bend on a jungle path, he came
face to face with a gorilla,
which was holding up one hand
and looked for all the world
like a traffic cop! Maurice stop-
ped abruptly and waited for the
assault, but after inspecting
him closely, the great ape turn-
ed round and wandered away.
He saw leopards and lions and
She'll Be Queen To Six Million
by ROSETTE HARGROVE
(NEA Staff Correspondent)
PARIS — (NEA) — Prospect-
ive brides—even here—must put
in their apprenticeship at the
sewing machnie, in the kitchen
and with the book of etiquette.
But for at least one 17 -year-old
girl, the problems of becoming
a bride are a little more compli-
cated.
She is Fazilet, daughter of
Prince Mohamed Ali Ibrahim,
cousin to ex -King Farouk of
Egypt, And in addition to learn-
ing about little household chores,
Princess Fazilet is also learning
how to reign over six milion
people,
This young lady is going to
marry King Feisal II of Iraq. And
she is going to do it directly from
her home here without having
to go Into the movies.
In fact, in her whole lifetime
in France she has never gone
anywhere without a chaperon,
nor has she ever traveled by
subway or public bus.
From the looks of things, she
'nay never have to. The palace
she will move to is the most lux-
urious and costliest building in
Iraq. It sits on the banks of the
Euphrates River, dominating the
!lender golden minaret spires of
itieghdad.
The palace is surrounded by
s: small forest of rose trees, and
has been decorated under the
close supervision of the king, who
is reported to have dredged Lon-
don's antique dealers for rare
period pieces.
Iraq, too, will be a home -away -
from -home for the princess who
comes from a wealthy famly.
This land is not only the cradle
of the human race and the setting
for t h e Thousand - and - One -
Nights, but it is also the world's
sixth largest oil producer.
But to accept the hand of the
king, Princess Fazilet must give
up her dream of entering the
Pars Conservatoire of Music and
the hope of becoming a concert
pianist.
The groom, Feisal II, is a grad-
uate of Harrow in England and
the author of "Self Defense", a
small book on judo written in
Arabic. At 22, he is not much
younger than his country. Iraq
became an independent state at
the end of World War II, with
Feisal's grandfather—a descend-
ant at the Prophets — its first
king.
Today's young king is a mix-
ture of interests, enthusiasms and
history that add up to the making
of a romantic fellow.
' He is energetic, conservative,
opinionated, but ready to listen.
His hobbies are painting and
sports cars. He likes boxing and
hunting, but he, is also interested
in low-cost housing architecture,
PRINCESS FAZILET: The next morning, she sald 'les."
countless varieties of other
game while on his trip,
"There is no danger unless
you antagonize the animals,"
says Maurice. "The same thing
applies to humans. It was very
seldom that I met with any-
thing but friendship from the
African people. Although at
times they seemed astonished
to see me cycling. ,through . the
bush,"
At one small "village many
hundreds of miles from civili-
zation he was met by members
of a tribe who had never seen
white men, They threw spears
at him and refused to let him
near their village, After much
palaver they agreed to let him
spend the night there, He found
that they had thought him to
be some strange and powerful
spirit with round legs. They
believed at first that the bicycle
was part of his body. It took
all his powers of persuasion to
convince them that he was as
human as they were.
If he could find no village at
night, Maurice simply lay on a
native blanket beside his bi-
cycle, He had no mosquito net
for most of his trip and yet he
survived exposure nightly in a
malarial part of Africa with the
reputation of being "the white
man's grave.', He was . badly
bitten and had several bouts of
the fever—and he treated him-
self.
A vegetarian, he had little
trouble in finding food. He
found fruits in the bush which
he ate, and shared native meals
of millet and guinea corn. He
drank water from rivers,
streams and native wells,
Back- home again after his
marathon cycle tour, Maurice is
disillusioned.. Audiences to
whom he has lectured are pre-
pared to believe that he has ac-
complished a. great personal ad-
venture but they are reluctant
to accept his kindness doctrine.
They say that a man who "turns
the other cheek" merely dou-
bles his doctor's bills, But
Maurice condemns their cyni-
cism and sticks to his claim that
kindness can accomplish almost
anything—and, at least, he has
gone a long way to prove it.
A truck driver pulled up

1(1 N G FEISAL : Oblivious to
time-honored protocol.
Someone once asked him: "If
you were not king, what would
you like to be?"
"A mechanical engineer," he
snapped back.
It was his impulsive ,romantic
way that won his bride. The set-
ting was a dinner party in his
honor given two years ago by
Prince Mohamed Ali Ibrahim and
his wife, Princess Hanzade.
Their- daughter, Fazilet, was
only 15 at the time, but Feisal
had made up his mind.
The next summer, the Royal
Iraqian yacht moored alongside
Prince Ali Ibrahim's yacht on the
Bosphorus. And for the three
weeks the young couple danced,
swam, played tennis and talked
under the hot sun.
Feisal returned to his kingdom
and his emissary came to request
the hand of Princess Fazilet for
the king.
Her parents reminded her that
she was not obliged to marry a
king and told her to think it over.
The next morning, her answer
came: "Yes."
Again Feisal's romantic nature
took over. He invited his bride-
to-be and her parents to spend
the Christmas holidays on a visit
to Iraq.
Surrounded by palace digni-
taries, the king arrived early at
the airport, As soon as the plane
had coasted to a stop, the young,
slender, dark -eyed man bounded
into the plane --oblivious of time-
honored protocol.
He re -appeared holding the
hand of his pretty, bewildered
fiancee,
While palace courtiers stood by
horrified at seeing their future ,
queen in public without a veil,
and looking for all the world like
a Paris fashion drawing, the
young people in the crowd cheer-
ed.
It seemed to them that their
young rulers would, at last, bring
a modern way -of -life to a land
out of the Old Testament.

Table Talks
By Jane Andrews
So much progress has been
made in commercial baking that
the actual necessity for learning
to make bread no longer exists,
but almost everyone loves the
smell, texture, and taste of
homemade bread. Indeed, busi-
nesses have been built on a
better loaf of bread• than others
make; restaurants have suc-
ceeded on the popularity of the
homemade bread on their menus;
personal reputations for superb
cooking have been built on
making better biscuits, spoon
bread, muffins, or loaves,
* * *
Last month many readers
have sent their recipes for vari-
ous breads to the Christian Sci-
ence Monitor. Here are a few.

"How nice it would be if more
young housewives became inter-
ested in bread making," writes
Mrs. Clara Gray, "It's a treat
the whole family enjoys. .
When I hear, 'Oh, I smell home-
made bread — may I have the
heel, Grand -mother?" — that's
when the real joy of bread mak-
ing comes in!"

Vision Of Green
I will never forget the dawn
when I first approached Corsica.
The world, indeed, has few finer
views to offer, I saw looming
out of the morning twilight a
fairy vision of green, tinted with
the first rays of the rising sun,
Seaward there flashed the warn-
ing beam' -of the light -house at
the Iles g-dnguinaires, floating,
it seemed, in the rose -hued mists
of sunrise. Across the smooth
sea came the breath of Corsica,
that wonderful perfume of the
maquis which Napoleon remem-
bered even at St, Helena, and
which the great Emperor could
never think of without emotion
Little by little the morning
haze dissolved and I saw tiny
villages glued on the mountain
sides; in the background the
proud Mont d'Oro raised its
peak into the blue of the sky,
clothed with a robe of dark -
green forests, and with a man-
tle of snow about its shoulders.
The crimson sun seemed to be
setting all the rocks of the
western gulfs on flre—a chaos
of fantasy, There was a liquid
blaze of beauty.
A wide sweep and the ship
rounded the Iles Sanguinaires,
their reddish rocks gleaming and
flashing in the sunlight, White
and glistening Ajaccio burst in-
to view, the birthplace of one
of the proudest empires on
earth. It .fs laved by a gulf of
Italian violet -blue, and its ris-
ing background, delicious in its
subtle, tender charm, yet with
an inspiration of rugged fierce
boldness, reaches far back into
snow and sky,
Ajaccio is situated on the nor-
thern side of one of the most
beautiful gulfs in Europe.
Around the town is a lofty
frame of snow -tipped moun-
tains from which there slopes
the vine -clad countryside. White
villas and drab cottages are
sprinkled over this wide ex-
panse of restful green, out of
which, Ajaccio, a white gleam-
ing city, the jewel of Corsica,
glistens like a diamond powd-
ered around with the gold of
orange blossoms,..
It is only a few minutes'
walk out of Ajaccio before one
steps into the glorious charm of
the maquis with its hesitant elu-
sive perfume which makes tilt
air of Corsica something uniQue--
in the world, It is spread
over the island like a carplrt,••
making the island another Green:.
Isle, another Ireland. ;
The maquis, although it is, to:
be found in one or two of the
nearest parts of the Continent,
grows nowhere else to such an
enormous extent. It is a mix-
ture of eight plants — cistus,
lentisculus, arbutus, myrtle,
heath, rosemary, juniper, and
wild olice—a combination which
makes Corsica an enchanted at-
mosphere, a scented isle,
"With my eyes shut," said
Napoleon at St. Helena, "I would
know Corsica by its perfume."
It is hard to exaggerate the
lure of Corsican scenery; the
dark precipices and deep valleys
with rivers running through
them like molten silver; the
chestnut groves, cut by roaring
mountain torrents; the little vil-
lages which dot the wide land-
scape; and the sea which always
glitters in the distance.—From

Bransby,

Unpredictable.
Happenstance
Somebody asked the other day
what would happen if two space
ships collided in mid -universe,
and I was a little disappointed
in the answer -- that the chances
are remote, It made me think of
Ozzie Hanscomb and Sim But-
terfield, who weren't speaking,
I guess everybody had long
since forgotten why they weren't
• speaking, They lived on the
Squirrel Road, Ozzie on the
brow of Hackmatack Ridge and
Sim on the brow of Wildcat Hill,
They could look across right in-
to each other's windows, if their
eyesight had been equal to the
distance, and between them was
the valley where Thunderhole
Brook wound down to the river,
Sim was "crowding 80" and Oz-
zie was 82, And they didn't
speak.
So one day we had a winding
old ice storm that coated the
countryside about an inch deep
with sheer slip, It coated the
trees and ripped limbs off, and
did a lot of damage, And the next
morning. Sim and Ozzie, inde-
pendently but simultaneously,
had a yen to get out the old
bobsleds and try the hill where,
as boys, they had coasted. It
was kind of a frolicsome rever-
sal to childhood and each of
them should have known better.
Each went up on the beams of
the barn and brought down his
ancient handsled, And each got
a piece of sandpaper and shined
pp the runners, Neither sled had
been down for fifty years or
more. And unbeknownst one to
the other, each crawled cau-
tiously over the icy ground to
the road, did a bglly-flopper on
his respective sled, and whoosh-
ed away.
Ozzie came down the east
elope of Hackmatack Ridge like
a streak, and Sim came down the
west slope of Wildcat Hill like
another, dragging their feet to
,steer, and gay with the memories
of olden times.
They met on the bridge. Great
was the meeting, It stove both
sleds to kindling wood, and the
intertwined steel runners jingled
and jangled like village bells on
a holiday. Then Ozzie and Sim
,spoke to each other. They spoke
to each other off and on for an
hour or so, laying their hands
to the more direct forms of utter-
ance, and neither taking any
great pains to use more pleasing
arms.
Much of what they said was
heard four miles away at the
Curtis place, and In the other
direction as far as SmIth's. Then
they stopped speaking to each

other, and never spoke to each
other again, And each would tell
people, every time he could
bring the subject up, about how
"that old fool" went bobsledding.
This kind of improbable head-
on collision has always occupied
the attentions of man; Thomas
Hardy has a poem in which the
little drop of water, precipitated
in the forgotten past, joins the
glacier and moves inexorably
toward the sea during those
same years that a man is learn-
ing to walk upon his heels and
first designs some prehistoric
peopod to float upon the water.
Man, while the glacier is ad-
vancing, finally gets to build the
great Titanic, and one day there
is the inevitable collision that
astonishes everybody -- the pre-
historic isce seems to have ap-
proached its destiny deliberately,
even though everybody said it
was unlikely.
Once there were two six -
masted schooners afloat, and only
two. What do you suppose they
did? They bumped into each
other in Boston Harbor, ker-
whang, and the masters com-
municated about as Ozzie and
Sim did on the bridge across
Thunderhole Brook,
Those old down -East skippers
devised many ways to get added
speed into the hulls they built by
their doorsteps, and modifications
of the true ship were a dime a
dozen, Just as the ship was one
mast bigger than a brig, soon
they had four masted vessels, al-
though they experimented with
three for a time and got such
things as the bark and the bark-
entine, The bark had square-
rigged sail on the fore and main-
mast, and schooner rig on the
mizzen. The barkentine had
square sail only on the fore mast.
These were, of course, natural
developments of the old "mor-
phodite brig" which had square
sails forward and schooner sails
• aft. The idea was, of course, to
find the best way to catch the
wind, and to come in fast with,a
pay load, The flvemasted schoon-
er was already fairly common,
and one day they went to six
masts,
With all the great oceans of
the world to play in, you would
say it was unlikely these first
two six -masted schooners would
ever .collide with each other.
The odds were tens of thousands
to one. Each of them, every day,
passed dozens of ordinary ships
that might have been bumped
into, But no -- the chances were
remote, You can look the detain
up in the marine record books if
you want to, but it is about as
I give it. They collided, and the
collision was a conversation
piece around the world.
One of the truly charming
things about our planet is
this unpredictable happenstance
known as coincidence, Like the
two Ivory Higginses we had here.
The chances of finding two men
both named Ivory Higgins is re-
mote, but they met and shook
hands here one morning and
were both amazed. Our world is
the !rind of place -where, when
somebody says a thing is re-
mote, it's likely to happen right
after breakfast. If outer space
is to be incorporated into our
precenct, I hope this interesting
custom is allowed to continue.
I sce no reason why the chances
of two sputniks ramming into
each other aren't fully as good
as two Ivory Higginses, or Ozzie
and Sim belting each other on
the bridge. -- By John Gould in
"The Christian Science Monitor."

1IILFMN FRONT.
o mo millssea.
At the invitation of the Hon,
Douglas S. Harkness, Minister
of Agriculture, representatives of
the sheep industry from across
Canada met recently in Ottawa.
The conference was called to
plan a program to stimulate
sheep production and improve
the position of the industry.
In welcoming the delegates,
Mr. Harkness pointed out that
sheep production is one branch
of agriculture that can be ex-
panded at this time without fear
of excellent the needs of the
domestic market for either wool
or lamb.
* * *
The conference, agreed on a
number of suggestions presented
by the delegates to increase in-
terest in sheep production, and
'recommended the appointment
of a. continuing committee to give
the subject further study and
develop the groundwork for a
broad national sheep policy,
Federal and provincial depart-
ments of agriculture were urged
to increase their extension work
in training young men who lack-
ed experience with sheep in the
details of sheep management. •
Instances were reported where
this had been successful with 4-11
Sheep Clubs organized under the
supervision of experienced men.
* * *
The place of crossbreeding
programs in improving produc-
tion efficiency was explored. It
was suggested that more effec-
tive use could be made of sur-
plus cross -bred westerh females
for 'farm flocks. It was reported
that some 30,000 head of wes-
tern range ewe stock had been
exported last fall to the United
States. Organized crossbreeding
programs using existing local
breeds were reported to have
shown considerable promise.
• * *
Several delegates urged the
need of a better system of farm
credit to provide capital for the
establishment of new flocks in
areas suited to sheep raising and
to assist present flock owners to
enlarge their operations.
The conference endorsed earli-
er requests -to the Federal De-
partment of Agriculture to give
greater stability to the sheep
industry by providing deficiency
payments on wool, through the
Agricultural Stabilization Act.
* * *
It was ,established that there
was a considerable potential
marketfor freshly killed Cana-
dian lamb and that a major pro-
blem facing the industry was to
develop production to teecct ties
demand.
To encourage the consumption
of Canadian lamb in competition
with other meats and insure its
indentification from chilled or
frozen lamb, the conference re-
quested that the grading and
branding of dressed lambs be ex-
tended through the cooperation
of provincial and federal govern-
ment marketing services.
* * *
During recent years the prac-
tice of employing frozen semen
in artificial insemination in
herds on t h e Experimental
Farms has become general, The
herd of approximately fifty
Ayrshires at the Canada Depart-
ment of Agriculture Experimen-
tal Farm, Morden, Man., is one
of these and no sires are retain-
ed as all animals bred are ser-
viced by use of frozen semen.
* * *
The advantages of using fro-
zen semen are mainly twofold.
Frozen semen may be held for
long periods of time, and its use
permits a wider selection of
sires. An important purpose of
the work with frozen semen is
to learn the best methods of
handling it. •
* * *
Semen is collected at several
of the Farms and then sent to
the Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa, where it is processed,
frozen, and stored at minus 110
degrees Fahrenheit. It is essen-
tial that the processed semen '
always be kept at this very low
temperature until used. Process-
ed semen is placed in small glass
ampoules and packed in dry ice
inside thermos bottles, Just
prior to servicing animals an am-
poule of the frozen semen is
thawed slowly by immersion in
cold water and used immediate-
ly after thawing.
• * •
Since the project began In
1955, frozen semen has been re-
ceived at Morden from ten dif-
ferent sires. In 1955 eleven ani-
mals were serviced during the
latter part of the year, Five of
these conceived from one ser-
vice.
* * +
In 1956, using semen from six
different sires, 37 cows were
serviced and 32 of them freshen-
ed from these artificial insemin-
ations.
During 1957, to the end of
November, 37 females were ser-
viced, some of which have not
yet passed the regular periods.
* * *
The percentages of conceptions
and freshenings with frozen
semen from October 1955 to No-
vember 30, 1957, averaged 80
per cent for healthy animals. A
large measure of success also
has been achieved with animals
that failed to conceive on second.
inseminations, by having them
examined and given treatments
by the local veterinarian. Over
sixty-five per cent of those
treated conceived.
A Whole Continent
Is The Stake
Over the years, eight nations
have staked out claims to pie -
shaped edges of Antarctica —
the frigid white continent which
makes up one-tenth of the
earth's land mass, Half of these
overlap, Despite their bustling
activities in the vast wasteland
around the South Pole, the U.S.
and Russia have made no terri-
torial claims, and recognize none.
In 1948, however, Russia main-
tained: "The U,S,S.R, has never
renounced its Antarctic rights,
or agreed to disposal of Antarc-
tic lands discovered by Russian
navigators." This month, in a re-
port submitted by six members
of the House Committee on In-
ter state and Foreign Commerce,
who toured Antarctica in Decem-
ber, this country affirmed a simi-
lar position: "The United States
has informed other nations that
(It) reserves all rights based
upon activities of (its) citizens in
the Antarctic."
These bland diplomatic pro-
nouncements have recently been
backed up by a flurry of ex-
ploration by both Soviet and
American forces. The most re-
cent move was a race to chart
the icebound coastline of Marie
Byrd Land, the only wedge still
unclaimed in Antarctica. The
winner: The U.S. icebreaker
Westwind.
Despite this small victory the
U.S. is concerned about the ex-
pected arrival of the Soviet at-
omic icebreaker Lenin.in Antarc-
tic waters and about Russia's
taking over the three bases the
U.S, will vacate after the Inter-
national Geophysical Year ends
in Dec. The U.S,, however, will
maintain its other four bases (at
South Pole Byrd, Hallett, and
McMurdo Sound) beyond IGY.
The final disposition of Antarc-
tica, many think, may lie in the
current British plan for inter-
nationalizing t h e continent,
Prime Minister Macmillan has
suggested that the icebound area
become a free zone of scientific
collaboration, devoid of military
bases, — From NEWSWEEK.

By Rev. R, B, Warren, B,A., B.D.
The Church Observes the
Sacraments, Romans 6:3.4;
1 Corinthians 10:14-22.
Memory Selection: As often u
ye eat this bread, and drink fhb
cup, ye do show the Lord's
death till he come. 1 Corinthians
11:26.
Jesus commanded the church
to observe the sacraments of
Baptism and The Lord's Supper.
His last command before His
ascension began with the words,
"Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them—" (Mat-
thew 28:19). Of the taking of the
bread and the fruit of the vine
He said after the Last Supper,
'TO do in rememberance of
Me." (Luke 22:19.)
Baptism is a symbol of clean-
sing and spiritual regeneration.
It speaks of the death to sin and
the receiving of new life in Jesus
Christ. Baptism, in itself, does
not change the heart. But it is
a symbol of the cleansing which
God can perform in the heart.
The Supper of the Lord, often
called Holy Communion, is not
merely a sign of the love that
Christians ought to have for one
another, but rather is a sacra-
ment of our redemption by
Christ's death.
The body of Christ is given
taken and eaten in the Supper,
after a heavenly and spiritual
manner, The means whereby the
body of Christ is received and
eaten in the Supper is faith.
There is no magic in the sacra-
ment but there is a great bless-
ing to those partakers who take
it worthily, discerning the Lord's
body.
One man who believed on
Jesus Christ as his Lord and
Saviour hesitated to take the
sacrament because he felt un-
worthy, But the more saintly
we are the more we count our-
selves unworthy of Christ's
death for us. But also, the more
we sense our unworthiness, the
more eager we should be to
show our gratitude to Him in
partaking of these emblems of
His blessed body and blood. This
man was confusing unwortby
with unworthily. We are all me.
worthy. It's because we are un-
worthy that we should frequent-
ly In the sacrament, remember
His death for us.
If we persist in our malice an/
gluttony and do not purpose h
forsake all our sins and accept
of the salvation provided for us
by Jesus Christ we are partak-
lng unworthily, Paul warns et
judgment against such.
WHAT D'YA CALL IT?—British actor Hugh Dempster, appearing
in Chicago in "My Fair lady", says Americans don't know how
to talk talk about cars. Some of the confusing differences in
car terminology between the two countries are illustrated on
the cards.
BETWEEN YOU, ME AND THE LAMPPOST—The saga of six Belgians who fought for freedom
when their country was ruled by Spain in the 17th century is perpetuated in iron outside an
old inn in Brussels, ,Hidden at the inn, which dates from 1677, the leaders of the rebellion
were discovered by a Spanish patrol. They ran for their lives but were captured and hanged
at a nearby town.
