Blyth Municipal Telephone System
Annual Meeting Poorly Attended
The annual meeting of the Blyth
Municipal Telephone System was held
in the Memorial Hall on Satgrday af-
ternoon, Chairman, George McNeil,
(impressed regret at the small attend-
ance of sul?scribors present,
Cccnmissioner, James Phelan, read
the auditor's report, and explained
that the system had operated this
year at a loss of $3,474,66 compared
with a profit of $3,559.70 in 1956, due
to increase In sdlanles, !wages, main-
tenance, anatedel and moving lines,
and taxes, The, auditor's report was
accepted, ;� ..0 '
Chairman McNaia, in his address,
stated, I Jrea]ize the importance of
handling thtdeleusiness of Blyth Muni-
cipal Systema, Rates should have been
caned years ago and the surplus put
into a depreciation fund to rebuild the
lines and that is the reason the com-
' missi,,ners endeavor to keep a depre-
ciation account, The cost of all ma-
terial necessary for operation has trI-
pled since 1937.
The commissioners had fought In
Toronto against the tax levied on the
System On the grounds. It is not a
company biut 4he "Board" suggested to
the ccenmissloners that the "System"
Was a public utility,
In replying to a question regarding
the possibility of changing over to the
dial 'system, the commissioners ex-
plained it would be S,olish to spend
12 to 15' thousand on a much needed
switch board if the dial system were
to come into effect in the near future,
and Mr. McNall believed the line man
could repair the present switch board
to give adequate service for the time
being.
In closing Mr. (McNeil saki, the com-
missioners had done their best, they had
inspected the lines, and made several
drips to Toronto In 4he interest of the
system.
James Phelan, a veteran comanisson-
er since 1935 saldt I am mostly interest-
ed in service and the cost of service.
Regarding complaints of inefficient
Service by operators, Mr. Phelan an-
swered the meeting. All o:'n plainte
are considered and dealt with, but you
cannot have angels for operators be-
cause they are not dealing, with, an-
gels, tett Mr. Phelan said' he too was
disappointed at the small attend-
ence and couldn't understand why
people who have so much invested in
this sysrutl as the subscribers have, are
ntat interested enough to attend the
annual meeting when there are 074
subscribers and 43 renters.
Commissioner Archie Young spoke
briefly stating he would like more co-
operation fnert the townships served by
the Blyth Municipal Telephone System
by keeping brush trimmed along the
roadsides, thus benefiting other tele-
phone systoms as well as our own.
George CelitNaU, James Phelan and
Archie Young were re-elected as com-
missioners with an increase of $25.00

"Mad" Doctor
Saved Millions
In the maternity ward of a
great Viennese hospital an
alarming number of mothers
were dying of puerperal fever.
"This is something beyond the
science. of medicine to remedy,"
Professor Johann Klein told the
medical students, "We can do
nothing about it."
It wasn't exactly a death war-
rant in those days of the nine-
teenth century for a woman to
go for her confinement into that
ward; but it was a hazardou s
venture. For of every hundred
mothers who were confined
there, twelve never left it alive.
Professor Johann Klein was a
vain and jealous man. If there
were to be changes, improve-
ments or medical discoveries,
they were to come from him.
If they came from any other
source, the professor mobilized
hospital opinion against the in-
novator.
He did so when Dr. Ignaz
Semmelweiss one day advanced
a revolutionary theory.
Dr. Semmelweiss made a start-
ling discovery when a staff phy-
sician, who had been working in
the dissecting room, got a cut
in his hand. The wound festered,
he ran a high temperature and
died.
Dr. Semmelweiss pondered
this case. For the dead man's
symptoms had been very like
those of the mothers of the ma-
ternity ward who contracted
puerperal fever and almost ir.-
variably died of it.
Along with him, as he did hts
rounds, went the carefree tribe
of medical students. They exam-
ined the patients, learnt some-
thing, worked their way along
the ward .. .
Dr, Semmelweiss saw the link.
His colleague had died of a
poisoned wound. He had got
that poison while dissecting dead
bodies. Something in the dead
must have poisoned him.
The students went straight
from the dissecting rooms to the
maternity ward. Some of them
washed their hands; some for-
got.
"Gentlemen," he said next day,
"nobody is to enter the maternity
ward, whether he has been dis-
secting or otherwise engaged,
until he has scrubbed his hands
and arms in chlorinated lime
water."
That was in May, 1847. Dr.
Semmelweiss noted the mater-
nity mortality rate for that
month; 12.24 per cent.
At the end of the year scrupul-
ously clean hands had saved
some scores of mothers. The
mortality rate in the ward was
down to 1.27 per cent.
Dr. Semmelweiss considered
this proof enough of his theory
u he hurried to the office of
Professor Johann Klein.
"But my good Semmelweiss,"
exploded the vain little profes-
sor, "are you telling me that all
that we have to do is wash our
hands to rid the science of medi-
cine of its great scourge? Come
—this is ridiculous!"
Wherever he went, to whom-
ever he turned, Dr. Semmelweiss
could get no hearing. It began
se prey on his mind. Womcn
would die by the thousand, by
the hundred thousand, by the
million in the years ahead, ali
because they were poisoned by
the contaminated hands of doc-
tors and students who touched
them.
Dr. Semmelweiss became it
nuisance to Professor Klein and
to his colleagues and a bore to
his students.
One day, while Professor Klein
was sipping a coffee and brandy
at a cafe table, he saw Dr. Sem-
melweiss walking down t h e
pavement distributing leaflets.
Somehow or other the saviour
of mothers had to get his mes•
sage across. If the profession
turned from him, then perhaps
the public would understand.
When he had finished reading
the leaflet, Professor Klein hur-
ried off to the hospital. He was
furious. This was unprofessional
conduct. It was madness,
The next day he sent for Dr.
Semmelweiss and suggested to
him that it might be as well if
he sought another hospital where
he might propagate his ridicu-
lous ideas.
That night Dr. Semmelweiss
left Vienna for his native Buda•
pest and secured a staff appoint-
ment in the Pest Hospital. There
he met with the same strange op-
position. Nobody wanted the
truth.
One day, when he had been in
charge of the great maternity
ward for six years, Dr. Semmel-
weiss went to the chief physician.
"In my ward," he said, "tne
mortality rate for mothers is
now 0.85 per cent. Six years age,
t was over fifteen per cent!"
The chief physician did not
rise and shake Dr. Semmelweiss's
hand. He simply did not believe
that this vast saving of mother's
lives had been due to so simple
a cause as clean hands in place
of dirty ones in doctors and
ctudents.
Today the stupidity of this
failure to see the obvious seems
more astonishing because, since
that time, the work of Pasteur
and others has isolated germs in
decomposing matter nad shown
the part they play in spreading
disease. Not even Dr, Semmel-
weiss understood that it was
germs in the bodies of the dead
that killed the living. But he did
see plainly cause and effect —
dirt and death.
Thus, once again, Dr. Semmel-
weiss found himself written off
as a crank.
And, in fact, it was not until
after his death that his great
discovery came to be adopted.
Gradually, the thought. of the
millions of unnecessary deaths
preyed more and more on the
:mind of Dr. Semmelweiss as ne
wandered about the crowded
main thoroughfares of ' Pest,
handng out his leaflets.
He became known as a crank.
And as though to justify those
who barred his path to progess,
he finally lost his reason al-
together.
NOT SO CLEAN SWEEP
After robbing a Detroit store
of beer, wine and cans of as-
sorted meats, the three thieves
responsible realized that they
would leave tracks in the snow.
Taking a broom from those on
sale in the shop they carefully
swept away their footprints as
they went. Police called to the
scene shortly after the robbery
simply followed the broom
marks to the door of the house
where the thieves had fled with
their booty and arrested them!
It often shows a fine command
of language to say nothing.

"Coal -011" Does
A Come -Back
Kerosene lighted the lamps of
the world as the first major prod-
uct of America's oil industry
in the late 1800's. In the early
days the refiners threw away a
pesky product known as gaso-
line.
The big boom — for heating
as well as lighting — came in
kerosene. Pioneer refineries also
supplied paraffin to candle mak-
ers, oils for textile mills, and
greases for horsecars.
Then up chugged the motor
buggy and Thomas Alva Edison
came forth with the electric light
— and It was lights out for the
Kerosene Age. In 1911, for the
first time, refineries produced
more gasoline than kerosene.
Suddenly, in a .jet age, kero-
sene is whooshing along in a
comeback. It's still the light
colorless liquid that also answers
to such names as coal oil, car-
bon oil and — in Great Britain
— paraffin oil.
Humber Oil & Refining Com-
pany, in one of its current pub-
lications, tells of the bright new
prospects for old-timey kerosene.
"Jets and kerosene go together
likt race horses and 'oats," re-
counts Humble. "Big commer-
cial airliners scheduled for deliv-
ery next year have an insati-
able thirst for this early -day
illuminant, gulping up to 2,400
gallons an hour while in flight,
Even idling on the runway, they
burn 700 gallons an hour....
"Tho United States military,
biggest consumer of aircraft
fusels, took its last big piston
plane last year. Commercial air-
lines will receive their last ones
this year. From then on, jets —
more than likely kerosene -
powered — will rule the skies."
Today, the leading jet fuel is
known as the JP -4 type. It con-
tains 30 per cent kerosene and
70 per cent gasoline. However,
the commercial jets that the
American public soon will fly
may prefer an all -kerosene fuel.
"Also, when supersonic planes
of the future arrive," notes 1 -tum.
ble, "kerosene may be a choice
because of its lower volatility,"
(Even missiles can use kerosene -
type fuels for their first -stage
propulsion.)
In far corners of the earth,
meanwhile, kerosene continues
to heat homes, fuel cooking
stoves, and light millions of
lamps, Humble sums up the va-t
rlous roles of coal oil:
"Kerosene is still an essential
of farm life in many countries.
Besides giving light and feat, it
is warming chicken in .if ;i'...s,
•
burning off prickly pear spines,
killing rangeland brush, and
fueling machinery,
"It also is serving humanity in
a number of versatile new ways.
Highly refined versions of kero-
sene are being used as dry-clean-
ing fluid. It helps fly • giant jet
airplanes over the Arctic Circle,
powers batteryless transistor
radio sets in the Netherlands,
and cools refrigerators in Afri-
ca,"

Satellites, Sidearms Top Toy Outlook
By AILEEN SNODDY
NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK —(NEA)— Space
will be the big thing under
1958's Christmas trees, But in
winning a child's fancy ad woo-
ing a parent's purchase, it's a
toss-up between outer space and
the old - fashioned wester n
variety.
That's how the toy buyers,
who anticipate no recession in
their industry, see the Yuletide
picture nine months in advance.
They base their forecast on the
10 -day American' Toy Fair in
New York, where a highly flush-
ed young visitor neatly covered
both sides of the prediction,
Confronted with the vast crop
of new toys, this lad glued an
eye to a $14.95 educational tele-
scope for a quick peek at the
canals on the moon. And while
he looked, he kept one hand
clasped on his trusty six-shooter.
It's simply that toys reflect
current events, toy -maker Al Gil-
bert Jr. says in explaining the
birth of new gadgets.
"When a new weapon is an -
latest high fashion chemise,
Little Mother can sew it with
a portable sewing machine.
Dolls themselves are growing
up, averaging about eight inches,
and one firm has joined hands
with a pattern company so the
dolls' dresses are twins of their
mistresses.
The world in miniature even
has a new home - a $10,95
frame affair that goes together
12 different ways to make ,uch
things as a zoo, corral, radar
tower or tent.
Miniature juke boxes that light
up, pegboard play tiles, building
sets, a shooting gallery equipped
with cork bullets, robot hands
and an electric sha0er for boys
will keep the kids happy — for
a while anyway.
For little girls who have every-
thing an East Coast firm has
wrapped a doll carriage in mink
for a $3,000 surprise.
And if that doesn't keep them
happy, there is a dynamiting set
ti that "blows up everything harm-
lessly."
But behind the sparkle in a
child's eye at getting a new toy
EYES ON THE MOON — Two youngsters at the Toy Fair line
up a Junior -size telescope for a Iookt at outer space. The 40 -
power scope can track satellites.
Trounced, it almost immediately
becomes a toy. Children were
bored with space helmets before
half -their parents ever found out
what they were," he says.
"When Sputnik went up, space
stations, flying saucers, satellites
and rockets immediately began
to orbit on the toy horizon."
Young Galileos will welcome
a planetarium, charts telling
them of the stars and games that
reveal worlds on other planets,
Spinning satellites, mobile rocket
launchers and other missiles con-
tinue the trend in scientific toys,
But little girls who would
rather spin a curl for dolly than
a Sputnik aren't overlooked. They
can set up a beauty parlor with
a new set that Includes a running
water tap and a hair dryer that
works,
Topping the wee lady's coif-
fure will be millinery that the
little girls make from a kit. And
if there is a tear in the doll's
is the serious world of manu-
facturing.
Highly competitive, the men
and women in the toy world feel
secure In the thought that "chil-
dren always want toys to. play
with."
Even TV viewing can't cut into
playtime, according to the presi-
dent of the Toy Manufacturers
Association. TV shows have cre-
ated a demand for new toys, in
fact.
The toy manufacturers are en-
thusiastic about 1958 sales, lanky
Robert Muessel says. As associa-
tion president he keeps a finger
on the pulse of the one and a
half billion dollar industry that
employs 70,000 persons.
"We are stepping up produc-
tion in our South Bend plant,"
Muessel said indicating the in-
dustry's reaction to the current
recession.
"I am sure other toy manufac-
turers are, too."

Gardening Over.
The Centuries
We are apt to think that the
love of new and rare plants is a
thing of modern growth, and it
comes as something of a shock
to find that the first recorded
planif;ljunting expedition was or-
ganized more than 3,000 years
ago. It was inspired by Queen
Hatshepset of Egypt when she
built a fine new temple at Luxor
about 1570 B.C, A fleet of ships
and a company of gardeners went
to the Land of Punt, now known
as British Somaliland, a n d
brought back plants, seeds and
living trees.
The main purpose of the ex-
pedition was to find incense -
bearing trees for the temple gar-
dens and in due course the
Queen's sculptors recorded that
thirty-one living trees had been
established there. Those tree
have been identified with the
Boswellia, that still grows in the
land of Punt, whose characteris-
tic brittle resin is still put to the
same old uses as in the days
when Pharaohs ruled supreme.
In the dry state it is known as
"frankincense" and is used in re-
ligious ceremonies; and when
softened by boiling in oil is used
as pitch for caulking ships.
About one hundred and fifty
years later another Egyptian
monarch left a record that am -
ing the treasures of ebony and
vory, gold and precious stones,
brought back from a successful
foray against the Assyrians, were
many new and rare plants, in -
eluding a varlety ' of Vine, a
Pomegranate, and a Water -Lily.
There is an old tradition that
the Double Yellow Persian Rose
and the tree that we know as
Lombardy Poplar were brought
back by the soldiers of Alexan-
der the Great on their return
from the Persian Wars.
Even in the days of chivalry,
when culture was at its lowest
ebb, knights returning from the
Crusades did not forget their
ladies who tended tiny gardens
within the walls of lonely cas-
tles. Many of the gaily coloured
fieldflowers of southern Europe
and the Levant came to us about
that time. One of the first is the
great scarlet Ranunculus of Pal-
estine, the familiar R. asiaticus,
hf our spring gardens, said to
ave been brought back by Louis
IX of France to his mother
SQUASHERWOMAN - Although
presses have taken over almost
everywhere in Italy, grapes are

Blanche of Castile, who had a
famous garden about the middle
of the thirteenth century. ,
As with the gardeners of to-
day the medieval monks were
always willing to pass on seed-
lings, slips, grafts or pungent
roots to friends and to fellow en-
thusiasts, Varieties of special vir-
tue. or of religious significance
such as Madonna Lilies, the gaily
coloured Anemones from the
Land of the Holy Cross, or Snow-
drops . . , were carried far and
wide over the whole of Christen-
dom in the wallets of palmers
and wandering friars, to be given
as an appreciation of the hospi-
tality that was always so freely
given, ,
So it has been down through
the changing centuries, our gar-
dens have been enriched by men
of every walk of life, wanderers
and stay-at-homes, parsons and
pirates, all have worked together
to increase the variety of our
cultivated plants and the beauty
'of our gardens; - From "The
Coming of the Flowers," by A.
W. Anderson.
Careless Stork
Hatched Gosling
Few actresses become bird -
watchers, but that is Miss Nancy
Price's hobby around her Sus-
sex home and when she travels
abroad,
In Norway she studied the
stork's habits, and found that,
in wooing, he first bows elabor-
ately, then proposes by placing
his long bill over his back and
giving a raucous cry.
He is also very polite and
courteous after marriage, but
`has strictly moral ideas on how
a wife should conduct herself,
She quotes two astonishing
stories of this morality, related
by Bishop Stanley in a fascinat-
ing account of her hobby, "I
Watch and Listen",
All the eggs from a stork's nest
were stolen and replaced by
hen's eggs. When the chicks were
hatched the male vanished for
two or three days returning with
a number of other storks, who
gathered in a circle round the
female, evidently discussing her
case. She was then torn to pieces
and the nest destroyed.
In the second case, near Berlin,
two storks made their nest on
the chimney of a house, the
owner exchanged eggs when the
mother stork was careless
enough to let him do so, and a
gosling was hatched. After in-
specting it, the male flew around
the nest with loud cries, then
disappeared.
On the fourth day the inmates
of the house, disturbed by loud
cries coming from a field front-
ing it, saw nearly 500 storks
standing close, together, appar-
ently listening to one facing the
mass meeting.
When he'd finished, another
came forward to address the as-
sembly. This proceeding con-
tinued with a succession of birds,
then the whole court rose into
the air uttering cries and flew
towards the female in her nest.
Finally, one bird - evidently
the disgruntled mate - struck
her three or four times, knock-
ing her out of it, She, the gosling
and the nest were then des-
troyed.
TYPIST THOUGHT
SHE WAS TOUCHED
Recently Miss Margaret Light-
foot, a shorthand typist employ-
ed by a bank at Ladysmith,
Natal, pulled the dust cover
from her typewriter and pre-
pared for work. Her eyes pop-
ped; some of the typewriter
keys were moving by them-
selves, •
Miss Lightfoot pushed her
chair back, firmly believing that
some ghostly typist was at the
machine -then she saw trying
to rear its head under the type-
writer keys a dangerous yellow
snake! • One of the bank staff
coaxed the snake out and dis-
patched it.

More and more the phrase
"self-help" is bobbing up in
meetings where the economic
troubles of agriculture are un-
der discussion. Farmers them-
selves are using it. The big gov-
ernment programs have been
tried and found wanting, Sur-
pluses grow.
Now when farmers and their
economic advisers gather in
meetings like one held recently
by the National Farm Institute
of the Des Moines Chamber of
Commerce they consider new
approaches. They ask questions:
Can farmers, by banding to-
gether in strong commodity or-
ganizations, such as those of
wheat growers or swine pro-
ducers, bring the earnings of
agriculture in line with those
of business and labor?
Can they enlarge their domes-
tic and foreign markets by im-
proving the quality of their pro-
ducts and adapting them to the
tastes of their consumers?
Should government programs
be redirected to encourage self-
help? • • •
Many farmers and farm lead-
ers, of course, are still ardent
advocates of parity price sup-
ports, Even the self-help people
think government farm pro-
grams should be maintained for
the present. But with greater
frequency now you hear a dif-
ferent note. Here, for example,
is Marion Steddom, an Iowa hog
farmer, speaking at the Des
Moines Institute:
"There has been a drastic
change in the thinking of farm
people in the past few years.
The change is from an attitude
that government farm programs
would eventually solve our
problems to a conviction that
we must solve our own prob-
lems soqner or later.
"We are seeing commodity
groups being formed for the sole
purpose of developing a self-
help program for a particular
industry, Future government
programs should be devised to
assist activity of this kind, with
a goal of making these pro-
grams self-supporting."
• • •
As noted before, this does not
mean that advocates of self-help
programs want to scrap price
supports and other forms of
government aid immediately,
Even conservative economists
think this would be extremely
unwise.
One speaker in the Des Moines
group who called himself a "free
enterpriser" went so far as to
say that anyone who would ad-
vocate ending these government
programs before adjustments
were made was either "naive or
deceitful." • • •
While the present heavy sur-
pluses hang over the market,
the government" must continue
to support farm prices and help
agriculture make adjustments,
it was generally agreed.
"Use the present programs to
buy time in order to get a more
fundamental solution to the
farm -income problem," advised
John H. Davis, director of pro-
gram in business and agricul-
ture, Iiarvard Graduate School
of Business Administration, and
a former president of the Com-
modity Credit Corporation.
Mr. Davis is one of those who
believe that agriculture and the
nation as a whole have much
to gain from stronger producer
organizations. Ise says that the
marketing structure of agricul-
ture has for many years been
lagging behind the production
structure which has made giant
strides. Farmers have been pro-
ducing more corn and wheat per
acre, more hogs for a given
amount of feed, more milk per
cow. •
But at the same time, farmers
have lost control of marketing,
as Mr, Davis sees it. This has
been taken over more and more
by large business organizations
not connected with the farm. The
two functions, production and
marketing, have become pro-
gressively more and more out
of gear, The result has been to
weaken the farm economy,
writes Dorothy Kahn Jaffe in
The Christian Science Monitor.
Now It appears that big
changes are under way. Tech-
nology is forcing a closer link-
age of on-farm production and
off -farm marketing, with off -
farm capital often financing the
operation and calling the tune.
(This is known as vertical inte-
gration.) The farmer may lose
his right to make decisions.
What to do about this trend?
"The proper course is for far-
mers to band together so that
they can take the lead in mar-
ket improvements, develop-
ments, and expansion, even
when this involves integration,"
says Mr. Davis.
•6 •
Farmers have already done a
great deal for themselves
through their big cooperative
marketing associations and com-
modity organizations. But aa -
cording to Mr. Davis, they have
not done as much as is needed.
They must invest more in
their organizations, he says.
They should dig down and pay,
salaries for top management
competitive with those offered
by the big industrial corpora-
tions. They need to spend freely
for research and promotion of
their products, They must fi-
nance "verticle integration." It
will pay in the long run.
While not many commodity
organizations are as yet doing
the job Mr, Davis envisions,
some are really pointing the
way. Speakers at the Des
Moines Institute reported cases.
One was that of the vigorous
young soybean industry. It has
increased production 21 times
from its already expanded out-
put of World War II days, yet
it has been able to develop
markets to absorb the output.
• • •
George M. Strayer of Hud-
son, Iowa, executive vice-pres-
ident of the American Soybean
Association, told how It was
done, The soybean people pro-
moted the use of protein feeds
for livestock, a feed which has
a soybean meal base, and great-
ly increased its use. Then Mr.
Strayer went. to various Euro-
pean countries and Japan and
set up industrywide promotion
offices in those areas,
Result: 'The industry export-
ed 90,000,000 bushels of soybeans
last year and enough soybean
oil to use up another 175,000,000
bushels, or more than the indus-
try's total production during
World War II,
• • •
Other commodity groups have
made export markets for them-
selves.. Mr, Strayer said that
Oregon has no wheat surplus to-
day because the Oregon Wheat
League sold the rice -eating Jap-
anese on wheat as a food.
Of course, the government has
helped these commodity groups
with Public Law 480, which per-
mits acceptance of foreign cur-
rencies in payment for exports,
This is, in fact, the kind of gov-
ernmFnt aid the self-help school
favors.
Farmers who took part in
these discussions at Des Moines
left with plenty of information
to take home to their farm or-
ganizations, They could use it,
because a great many farmers
appear to be still hopeful that
parity price support can solve
agriculture's problems.
BIRD SPOTTERS FROM SPAIN
In the days before shotguns,
when game was caught in nets
or brought down by hawks, the
birds were first located by dogs
known as "sitting" or "setting"
spaniels,
These spaniels, which came
from Spain, were the ancestors of
our present day setters.
There are three varieties of
,the breed, English setters, Irish
setters and Gordon setters. It is
not known which variety is the
oldest, although they all came"
originally from the same spaniel
stock.
Setters were mentioned by
name as long ago as 1570. The
name comes from the word set,
which means to stand rigidly
and point on scenting game,

r • LESSON
By Rev. R. B. Warren, B.A., H.D.
The Church's 'Assurance
of Victory
John 20:26-29; Ephesians 1:15-$$
Memory Selection: Now untie
him that is able to do exceed-
ingly abundantly above all that
we ask or think, according t
the power that worketh in no,
unto him be glory in the church
by Christ Jesus throughout all
ages, world without end. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21.
How many blessings we miss
if we do not meet with the be-
lievers on the Lord's Day! What
a long week of torturing doubt
it must have been until Thome
was with the disciples on the
following Lord's Day when the
Lord appeared to them again.
The best we can say for
Thomas is that his was the scien-
tific attitude when he said, "Ex-
cept I shall see in his hands the
print of the nails, and put my
finger into the print of the nails
and thrust my hand into his side,
I will not believe." No hearsay
for him. But Jesus did not com-
mend his attitude, There was
more than caution in Thomas;
there was unbelief. There is le
note of reproof in the words of
Jesus, "Be not faithless, but be-
lieving" and "Because thou hut
seen me, thou hast believedt
blessed are they that have not
seen, and yet have believed."
The resurrection of Jesus
Christ is the greatest of all
miracles. This was not just re-
suscitation. Before Jesus took
his body again, he glorified it.
It was no longer a natuhal bodl
but a spiritual body. Jesus had
borne the image of the earthly;
He now bore the image of the
heavenly. It is an amazing
demonstration of the exceedinj
greatness of the power of God..
The same God, through the sac-
rifice of Jesus Christ, is able to
forgive our sins and give us
victory over sin in this present
life.
The resurrection ,of Jesus
Christ is the assurance of our
rising from the dead. We confi-
dently sing
"In the resurrection morning
When the prison bars are broke'
We shall r!r, Hallelujah,
We shall rise."

WV'ednetiday, April 2, i958. THE BLYTH STANDARD
ARE FARMERS TOO TIIOUGIITFUL
OF OTIIERS?
I attended the local White Bean
Growers (meeting in Zurleh recently,
The White Bean Growers are to be
commended for the very god' job they
are doing for their members. They
seem to have gone just n little farther
in the successful marketing of their
product than any other farm organiza-
tion that 1 know,
However they were criticized for
not operating on a definite profit basis.
The Board's answer was that they
didn't want to interfere with private
dealers, The gourd also seemed wil-
ling to take the lower quality of beans
that were often directed to them, bear
Ithe extra expense of processing and
also look after the exporting of sur-
, pluses, They also stay out sof Lhe do-
; mestic .market in disposing of the
beans Lest they provide embarrassing
competition to private dealers,
Is this being too much of the "good
samaritan?"
I talked with a barber recently. He
told me that a few years back shaving
was the big end sof the business. Gil-
lette Invented a safety razor - - elec-
tric razors were introduced Result - -
in the past 20 yct(rs half of the barbers
have been farad to seek their daily
bread in some other line of endeavour,
Was their a "Protective Association"
formed for barbers and their friends?
Poultry dealers paid 40 per pound.
.less for fowl than did dealers were
there was a Co -Op to supply active
competition. Should farmers feel sor-
ry for these dealers When they are
squeezed down to a moderate income
Co -Op, donmetition?
Should farmers be asked to protect
the Interests of non co-operators who
are willing to reap all the benefits
from the competition supplied by Co -
Ops, without taking any responsibility
in the successful operation of the
Co -Op?
In years gone by the young farmer
hitched up his team and wagon; grab-
bed a shovel and earned a uansiderable
sum of money doing rood work be-
tween seeding and haying. Truq4s
came along; took over the hauling o�
gravel and farmers lost some cash. Na
"protective association" was formed,
(With the intrcd'actlon of rr..arketing
yards some farmers are delivering
their own hogs. Some truckers are Dos-
ing business. Why should the farmer
be prevented from doing this just to
keep the trucker In a job?
I do not like th!!!s approach neither
is it popular with farm people who
are, by nature, thoughtful of the wel-
, fare of their neighbours but big busi-
ness is, in its cold impersonal way,
forcing farmers to this view.

ARE FARMERS TOO THOUGHTFUL
OF OTHERS?
I attended the local White Bean
Growers uneeting in Zurich recently,
The White Bean Growers are to be
commended for the very pod job they
ire doing for their members, They
seem to have gone just n little farther
in the successful rnarketing of their
product than any other farm organiza-
tion that I know,
However they were criticized for
not operating on a definite profit basis,
The Board's answer was that they
didn't want to interfere with private
dealers, The Board also seemed wil-
ling to take the lower quality of beano
•
i that were often directed to them, bear
the extra expense of processing and
also look atter the exporting of sur-
:pluses. They also stay out of the do -
medic market in disposing of the
beans lest they provide embarrassing
, competition to private deniers,
'Is this being too much of the "good
samaritan?"
I talked with a barber recently, He
told me that a few years buck shaving
was the big end of the business. Gil-
lette invented a safety razor - - elec-
tric razors were introduced, Result - -

When the service charge of 24c was
set it was thought that about seven
yards would be sufficient. However
these yards have proven so popular
that there has been a great demand
for them. To supply these the extra

with the increased use of these yards
there will be some reduction in the
cost of transportation which will be
reflected in higher returns to the pro-

Shippers Suggest Established Price Before Hogs LeaveThe Farm
Belgrave, Ontario,
March 8, 1958.
TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE AGRICULTURAL COM141VIITTEE
OF THE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE:
May we first express to you gentlemen, our thanks for taking the time during a busy and interesting session to hear
us today.
As our name will imply, we represent the Livestock Shippers of Ontario, who in turn have been requested by produc-
ers of hogs to present to you their objections to some of The regulations which are now being enforced by the Ontario Hog
Producers Co -Operative, operating under provisions of the, Farm Products Marketing Act of 1957,
We believe that for any marketing system to operate successfully it must have the active and wholehearted support
of all those engaged in the industry affected. In the case of hogs this would Include the producer, the transporter, the
shipper, and the processor, A plan that would aohieve this objective would be most welcome at the present time,
Much can be gained by past experiences. We must erase the weaknesses and incorporate the good teattu'es of former
marketing systems.
When hogs 'were sold live weight, the producer knew tomorrow's price today, and thereby could exercise their own
judgment as to where and When to sell his hogs. The replacement of rail transportation by trucks plus the tendency of
Isome producers to fill hogs brought about a situation where the live hog could no longer be considered a unit of value, so
rail weight and rail grade were the inevitable result which benefited all engaged In the industry;•- Keeh competition was
still the true yardstick whereby the price of hogs was established, This was a good system of marketing hogs, but unfor-
tunately, dumping of hogs at the processors developed as a result of truck operations. By this we mean the appearance on
the scene of the trucker who was interested in pay loads only, and as a result in many cases did little or nothing towards
maintaining the price level.. Too many hogs left the produ :ers farm without an established price.
The present marketing scheme in effect In Ontario, with its central or "one desk" selling agency and compulsory di-
rection of hogs lois resulted in many defects in handling the product that are becoming more apparent as time goes on.
May we list just a few:
(a) To the Producer: -
1. No established price when the hog leaves the producer's pen.
1. No assurance to the producer ns to where and when his 'hogs will be slaughtered.
3. The unnecessary transportation hither and yon plus extra handling resulting in greater shrink, bruising
and cost, all tend to lower the net return for the hog,
(b) To the Shipper:
The trucker or shipper is never certain of the destination of his load, therefore he cannot mix loads and
cannot arrange return loads which at this season are very important to farm operations. The result is
Inefficient service to farmers.
(c) To tho Processor:
As pointed out by Mr. Manning of the Meat Packers Council in his TV interview of Sunday, February 23rd,
the present hit and miss system of selling and allotting hogs to processors has resulted in a complete dis-
ruption of continuity of supply to them, thereny increasing cost of processing which means ate of two results
or perhaps both: increased cost to the consumer and or decreased returns to the producer,
As to the effect that the "one desk" method of selling has on the trade in general, may we quote from an article
in the Globe and Mall of March 8th, by Mr. Fraser Robinson, quote:
"While a layman soon can get left behind when hog producers start to discuss . the complications of their trade, one
simple fact seems ' o underly all their problems. It is that he, public, and nobody else, sets prices and determines volume
of sales. In other words, neither governments nor marketing boards have as yet been able to override the law of sup-
ply and demand."
Also further in the same article this regarding prices, quote: -
"Last year, 5,400,000 hogs went to market in Canada, oonsiderably fewer than in either 1955 or 19513. Ontario, how-
ever had a good year, sighting 1955 hog marketings„ with a ictal of just over 2,000,000, This, according to some produc-
ers, is a boost for compulsory marketing plans, as known in Ontario but not in the West. It can apply equally to higher
consumption in the most prosperous of the Canadian provinces.
"As regards prices, the statistics show a quite different sit nation, In Ontario, prices gave the poorest perfoionance des-
pite all the efforts of the marketing board to push them up and to eliminate fluctuations.
"Hog prices in Ontario in 1955, before the marketing board got its great powers, were $2,05 per 100 pounds above the
national average of $'24.00. In 1056, still before the marketing board was in full control, they were $2.30 above the national
overage. In 1957, the marketing hoard took command In Ontario and prices' here were only $1.35 above the national
average.
"The increase In hog prices in Canada last year averaged $4.50 per 100 pounds, brought about by an increase in de-
mand which also was pronounced in the United States. Ontario producers, assisted by the marketing board which had
claimed it ;would get.them better prices, had to be content with an increase of $3.55 the least of any province."
In the firm belief that .everyone, producer, shipper, packer, consumer, , and the Government would welcome a plan
that would remove the costly featurestof the present scheme, and at the same time establish a true market value in relit -
tion to supply and demand, we submit the following plan:
1. That all producers of hogs in Ontario be granted the freedom of marketing and delivering his hogs to the
processor of his choice, or consigning then to any Co -Operative or to a duly licensed shipper, -
2. That all shippers of hogs in Ontario be licensed by the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board.
3. That 'alt shippers of hogs in Ontario be required to post a bond with the Ontario Farm Products Market -
Ing Board of 'hh amount deemed by that Board to be,sufficient for the shipper's operation.
4, That all shippers of hogs in Ontario be required to provide the producer with a bill of lading for his hogs.
This bill to show
(A) number of hogs shipped
. (B) tatoo number
(C) guaranteed price.
5. That all licensed shippers shall have the privilege of selling the hogs competitively to any processor.
6. That any producer of hogs in Ontario be given the privilege of reporting any irregularities of the shipper
to the Farm Products Marketing Board, and ate Board - as a result of Its investigation may cancel the
chipper's license,
That the Hog Prodticers Association be permitted to (Ontario) deduct a fee, not to exceed five cents per
hog, from the producer's returns on all hogs slaughtered at inspected plants in Ontario. The same to
be used for the promotion of quality pont and sale of pork ,products,
May we suggest that the acceptance of this plan world create harmony and efficient', In 11tr' + -r". 'tikn and marketing

"Dear Anne Hirst:
For nearly 15 months my hus-
band has been serving in Europe,
and night after night I have
been sitting home and so lonely
and depressed , .. A girl I am
tend of asked me to double -date
'pith her and her beau and a
friend of his. We had a fine
evening, and he gave me a tre-
tnendous lift. Since then he and
I have been going out oaten to-
gether; up to now I've been a
good girl, and, of course, intend
to stay that way. I just seem to
need fun, but I ani really badly
confused —
"You see, Anne Hirst, I don't
want niy husband to find out.
I'd like to know what you think
about it all. WORRIED"
PLAYING WITH FIRE
+� It is your sense of guilt that
* confuses you. You know your
* husband would not approve
of your dating any man—par-
ticularly this one, for you say
"I've been a good girl," which
reveals your feeling for him
better than the words you did
not write. Subconsciously you
anticipate the sort of proposi-
tion that any married woman
who dates another man invites.
No wonder you are upset.
Your dates cannot go un-
noticed, al course. Your hus-
band, like so many trusting
s' soldiers, will probably hear
• of then. What defense have
you?
How do other soldiers' wives
bear their loneliness? I know
some who give their spare
time to the Red Cross, or join
other service groups work-
ing Stateside, and so they feel
a kinship with their husbands
that keep them spiritually
close. Why don't you seek such
satisfaction? Find out where
your church can use your time
and talents; join up, and give
the job all you've got. There
you will meet other lonesome
wives ,and their quiet courage
will give you inspiration.
You must have some latent
advocation, music or painting,
perhaps, which you have want-
ed to develop further? Now
you have the time. Once you
start practicing it your en-
thusiasm will return, and you
will know the joy of creating
a hobby of your own.
I predict that soon your
problem will have disappear-
ed, and you will now feel a
deep relief that the present
temptation has passed. The
resulting peace will bring its
own reward.

Famous Clipper
Ship Restored
One of the bonniest sights of
London, by sunlight, floodlight,
or moonlight is the fully rigged
old sailing ship, the Cutty Sark,
at Greenwich, a 20 - minutes
drive from Charing Cross.
This most famous of sailing
clippers which brought tea from
China and wool from Australia
is preserved for all time in dry
dock in a romantic setting in
King William Walk near the
Royal Maritime Museum and
Greenwich Pier.
The ship has been completely
rerigged in authentic style
through the record made by
Henry Henderson, who sailed in
her as ship's carpenter.. His
notebook was preserved with
details of her masts, spars and
boats.
In the days of sail, ships were
adorned and distinguished by
colorful figureheads. The Cutty
Sark has a fine example. Paint-
ed in white and outlined in
gold, the witch of Robert Burns'
poem leans over the waves in
an effort to seize the Cutty
Sark (or short shirt) of the ven-
turesome farmer in the .Burns'
legend.
In addition there is on board
one of the finest and largest col-
lections of merchantmen figure-
heads in the world, presented
by "Long John" Silver, a fa-
mous character on the River
Thames.
The crew's quarters, the gal-
leys, and the cabins spell end-
less fascination for the visitors,
old and young, who throng the
gangways and descend the
ladders.
Tougher Penalties
For Bad Drivers
"A man drives as he lives," has
become a cliche among the an-
alyses of automobile accidents.
In other words, the greatest sin-
gle cause of highway mishaps is
the personal equation, rather
than the condition of the car, or
the character of the road, or legal
regulations.
So the driver most to be fear-
ed is the one who resents all con-
trols in his life, or take a chance
in everything, or gives full rein
to a sense of power whenever
he feels it, or habitually loses
his head even under slight
strain.. .
Yet it has been proved also
that many serious auto accidents
are caused by drivers who, only
occasionally throw off restraints,
or fall under the influence of al-
cohol, or nod at the wheel, or
take chances.
Early in the 1958 session of
Congress, Oklahoma's Senator
Mike Monroney says he will in-
troduce a bill for a federal com-
mission to collect and analyze
adequately all possible data on
highway accidents. If the analy-
sis warranted, federal drivers'
licenses issued only after real
tests and suspended or revoked
for frequent bad driving could
be required of all interstate
drivers.
Out of this welter of ideas
congressional leaders Interested
in highway safety hope to come
up with some new and effective
legislation. No matter what shape
the new laws take, Congress can't
miss if ft increases the severity
of punishment of reckless driv-
ers. — Portland (Maine) Press

HRONICLE
1NGERFARM
Guet't.doli,ttie P. C la tae
One who has at some time
learnt to swim, or to ride a bi-
cycle never quite forgets the art.
He may be out of practise but
he doesn't forget. And that
seems to apply to farming as
well. Once a farmer always a
farmer even if the hands are no
longer actively engaged in doing
farm chores. The interest is still
there. That seems to be the way
with Partner anyway. Why else
should he take the trouble to
ride in the cab of a milk -tank
truck and find out for himself
just what happens to the milk
shipped in bulk to the dairies?
Just before we left the farm
there was quite an agitation to
induce dairy farmers to "go
tank" instead of shipping milk
in cans. At the time it seemed
to us like a tremendous outlay
for equipment, more than a
hundred -acre farmer could af-
ford, But now the idea has real-
ly caught on and in some dis-
tricts farmers shipping to local
dairies are the only ones who
continue to use cans, chilled in
a milk -cooler before shipping.
One of our former neighbours
is a milk -trucker and goes by
here nearly every day so Part-
ner arranged to ride with him
one one of his trips. Partner al-
ready knew how bulk milk was
handled at the farm hut had no
idea what happened at the dairy.
Here is his account.
At the dairy where he went
there was room for two tank
trucks to back up into the build-
ing and stop at a given spot.
Here a plastic hose was con-
nected to the tank nozzle. A
motor was then started which
drew the milk from the tank
and forced it into a vat on
scales where it was automati-
cally weighed. From there the
milk went into the processing
plant. While Partner was there
three tanks, carrying about six
tons of milk were emptied,
washed, and out again in about
thirty minutes. And in that time
Partner never saw one drop of
milk!
As soon as a tank was empty
a man dropped into it through a
manhole at the top and thor-
oughly washed and scrubbed the
inside of the tank. After he
came out the tank was rinsed
again. Then a sterilizing com-
pound was forced into the tank
and scaled. Then the trucker
went to work, hosing and wash-
ing down the outside of his
truck, and it was ready for the
next day.
Waiting et the loading ramp
there werealso quite a large
number of smaller trucks ready
to pick up their daily quota of
sani-seal packages and bottles
to be delivered to the stores,
Thus the whole process is ac-
complished with speed and ef-
ficiency and from the time the
milk leaves the cows' udders at
the various farms until it
reaches your doorstep it is not
once touched by human hands,
Extraordinary, isn't it?
How different from a few
years ago. Do you remember
how often you found a certain
amount of what appeared to be
dirt at the bottom of a. milk
bottle? In fact a small percen-
tage of sedimentation was al-
lowed by the Health authorities
as it wasn't thought possible
that milk could be delivered
100% pure — as it is today.
I also remember that if a new
hired hand were engaged among
other questions he was gener-
ally asked -1. If he could milk,
and 2. If he were a "wet" or
"dry -hand milker." Partner nev-
er allowed wet -hand milking in
his stable—for which I was very
thankful. The dhry thought of
it used to make me feel sick.
But yet it was quite a common
practise when we first started
farming. A lot of farmers
claimed it was better for the
cows! Apparently little thought
was given to the consumers .. .
and that was before the days of
enforced pasteurization! In the
old days people must certainly
have developed a sort of immu-
nization otherwise tuberculosis
and undulant fever would have
been more common than they
were. Remember, too, how chil-
dren used to love to be around
at milking time to get a drink
of warm milk straight from the
cow, Ugh , .. I used to wonder
how they could drink it!
Yes,, looking back over our
thirty-six years of farming it
is extraordinary, to note the
changes that have taken place
—and most of them a decided
improvement from a sanitary
point of view. But don't .forget
all these improvements are re-
flected, and are a part, of the
Increase in our present day cost
of living index. We pay for
what we get, whether it is in
the make and texture of a new
dress or the improved quality
of the milk we buy. The same
applies to eggs. Remember when
hens used to scratch for their
living and the egg -yolks were
dark and often smelt and tasted
quite strong? The eggs we get
now are light in colour, mild in
flavour but the price we pay
for there includes charges for
shipping, candling, grading and
sometimes delivering. All the
farmer gets Is the cost of pro-
ducing the eggs, which includes
the cost of raising the hens
from chicken -hood.

"What have you been telling
her about me?"
Lost Will Is It
Bobbing At Sea?
Watch out for a bottle bobbing
on the waves this Spring. There's
a chance it could bring .you
$5,000 a month for life plus a
useful slice of a $6,000,000 for-
tune!
An out -of -work man has al-
ready found such a "bottle and
legal experts believe there•rnay
be another get -rich -quick bottle
floating around.
This amazing prospect hinges
on the "lost will" of Mrs, Daisy
Alexander, the Singer sewing
machine heiress, When she died
in 1939, expectant beneficiaries
searched the gaunt, empty man-
sion in Grosvenor Square where
she had lived alone.
An ex -army sergeant -major
went over every inch of the
house wit!} a mine -detector,
probing for a safe or some other
secret receptacle beneath the
plaster or floorboards.
The only known will wnq one
Mrs, Alexander had signecntirty
years earlier. Yet she was al-
ways talking of making wills,
leaving her affairs in perfect
girder — and servants testified
that on two occasions they had
been asked to witness wills.
Then a young clairvoyant
searched the house, running his
hai?ds over the walls to elicit
what he called "sympathetic vi-
brations."
Though he did not find the
will, he scored some palpable
hits. He had never met Daisy
Alexander before her death, but
was able to describe the way
she used to stand beside the
fireplace. The lost will, he de-
clared, was concealed in a black
vase or a settee of yellow silk.
What is this mind picture —
if not of a black bottle on a
yellow beach?
In 1949 an unemployed restau-
rant worker named Jack Wurm
was killing time on a San Fran-
cisco beach when he idly kicked
at a bottle and noticed something
tucked inside. It proved to be a
piece of paper with the words,
"I leave my entire estate to the
lucky person who finds this bot-
tle, and to my attorney share
and share alike. Daisy Alexan-
der, June 20, 1937,"
Wurm thought the document
just a joke. It was three months
before he heard of the London
will hunt and filed his claim.
Then friends remembered Mrs.
Alexander's habit of throwing
bottles into the sea, wondering
where they would go. Experts on
ocean currents testified that a
bottle dropped into the Thames
could wash to the English chan-
nel, on to the North Sea, through
the Bering Strait Into the Pacific
and southward_ in twelve years.
Jack Wurm faced seven years
of legal wrangling before the
will was upheld. Now, besides
his share in the main fortune,
his dividend from sewing -ma-
chine stock will me $75,000 a
year. -
There's still just a sporting
chance that Mrs. Alexander
signed a later will and flung
that in turn into the ocean. It
may have drifted thousands of
miles. Or it may have remained
tangled in weeds near home. You
could find it at your feet at any
time!

Marx Brothers vs.
Modern Comedy
•
The matchless nonsense of the
Marx brothers —• Groucho, Har-
po, and Chico — has been not-
ably absent from movie screens
for nearly a decade, Their de-
, mise as one of Hollywood's best
comedy. acts is, in the minds of
many observers, characteristic of
the demise of all show -business
comedy, from vaude to video,
Recently, Hollywood planned
a movie of their lives — the
usual tribute to famous enter-
tainment figures now out' of fa-
shion — the best-nown Marx
brothers were separately inter-
viewed and sounded out on the
atate of comedy today.
"I no longer have any interest
In the movies," flatly said 62 -
.year -old Groucho (born Julius)
during l u n e h• and a cigar
at Romanoff s in Hollywood,
"Even "The Life , of The Marx
Brothers," which M -G -M wants
to film, won't have us in it, ex-
cept, briefly,

est of all, a very delicate and
difficult business. There aren't
35 first-class comedians or writ-

world. The humorists of the '203

are all.gone. I'm sure people
wouLL&, sit still long enough to-

movies, if only because nobody's
making that kind of thing any
more. It takes months of . prepa-

Also, you must have exactly the
right writer and a producer wno
has faith — it's risky to spend
money on comedy.

Babe Ruth
Left This Record
George Herman Ruth, who
became known to millions of
baseball fans as Babe Ruth, was
born in Baltimore, Md,, in 1895,
When he was seven years old
his parents placed him in St.
Mary's Industrial School in Bal-
timore, an institution for under-
privileged boys. His days at St.
Mary's were. spent in learning
the tailor's trade and in playing
baseball in his spare time.
He began to play semi-profes-
sional ball in Pennsylvania and
was signed to pitch and play as
an outfielder by the Baltimore
Orioles (International League)
,in 1914. That same yearhe was
sold to the Boston Red Sox of
the American League,

throw him in the clink for being Ruth was shifted to the outfield.
In 1920 Ruth was sold to the
New -York Yankees and by his
batting feats he greatly helped
to salvage the popularity of base-
ball after the Black Sox scandal.
He hit the most home runs per
season for several years (1919-21,
1923-24, 1926-30), tied for the
home run lead in 1918 and 1931,
and set the existing 60 home
runs for one season in 1927. In.
all, he hit 714 home runs in
major-league play,
He led the Yankees to seven
pennants (1021-23, 1926-28, 1932),
and the Yankee Stadium, built
in 1923, came to be known as,
"the house that Ruth built" He
was the highest-paid player of
his era, but took several salary
cuts before he was traded by
t h e Yankees to the Boston
Braves (National League) ' in
1935. He played with the Braves
while serving as assistant man-
ager, but in June, 1935, was re-
leased. He ,served as coach for
the Brooklyn Dodgers for ono
season (1938). He died in 1948.

At his. Palm Springs, Calif.
home, Harpo (Arthur), the silent
one with the fright wig, is now

"There's always room for come-
dy," he said in his gentle, per-
fectly modulated voice which has
never been heard on the screen,
"but I think we got out at the
right time, The kind of comedy
we made isn't around any more.
Nobody takes the kind of care
we took. We worked with the
writers six months, then the
writers vlorked alone for six
months. It just isn't done that
way any more,"
Chico (Leonard), now 66, was
playing pinochle at the Players
Club in Beverly Hills. "I don't
live in Palm Springs," he said,
"because I am not an Arab and
1 don't like the desert,
"It's too bad there are no
theaters any more. Twenty years

?kGREEN GOT Ori. SlAttit
For at least half the year, in
most parts of this country, there
is little excuse for not having
every vase in the house full of
fresh flowers. We can start with
home grown daffodils and tulips
in April or May and end up with
salvia, chrysanthemums, petunias,
asters and a dozen more in Oc-
tober or November. With a little
planning and plenty of variety
there is no reason why our garden
should not be producing a wealth
of bloom right through the whole
growing season.
Where one wants lots of cut
flowers, it is a good idea to grow
an extra supply in straight rows
in the vegetable garden. They
will be less trouble to grow in
this way as it is so much easter
to cultivate, and there will be
no gaps in the regular beds when
we go out and cut an armful.
In some cases, too, flowers that
are excellent for cutting and
bouquets are not particularly or-
namental as plants and the veg-
etable garden is the proper place
to grow them. Sweet peas are an
example and gladiolus and some
of the lilies,
SPREAD THEM OUT
First flowers to go in when
soil is ready will be some extra
early things like cosmos, mari-
golds, zinnias, alyssum or other
hardy annuals among the flowers
and a few rows of lettuce, radish,
beets, carrots and spinach in the
vegetable patch.
No matter how soon we can
start to plant, however, it is a
mistake to do so on the same day.
When one does that all the bloom
and all the' vegetables come at
the same time. We have a wealth
of bloom or a feast of veget-
ables, then a famine.
The experienced g a r d e n e r
never plants everything at once,
He spreads out and thus his gar-
den harvest of flowers and fresh
vegetables is spread out. Careful-
ly planned and planted there is
no reason why we should not
have something coming on from
the first crocusses, rhubarb and
asparagus in the spring right
through until after the first snow
fall in the autumn.
The secret is planning, based
on number of days to maturity
or blooming as listed in the seed
catalogue, the use of early,
medium and, late varieties if
available, and making several
plantings a couple of weeks or
more apart from the seed in each
packet instead of sowing the
whole thing at once,
GARDEN FRUITS
If the garden is just an ordin-
ary city lot, one is strongly ad-
vised not to plant more than one
or two fruit trees at most, and
to get special dwarf types which
come into bearing sooner than
the standard type and take up
much less room. And one must be
prepared to spray regularly each
year, otherwise it will be mostly
bugs that we are growing.
Better suited to the small gar-
den are bush fruits like rasp-
berries, currants, gooseberries,
blueberries and the still smaller
strawberry, and along the walls
or fence lines one can grow a
grape or two. Then there are the
ornamental fruits, some of which
like. certain flowering crab ap-
ples are edible enough to make
beautiful,jelly. The main purpose
of these ornamental fruit trees
and shrubs, like the quince, apple
and cherry however is to provide
beauty after the flowering sea-
son and also to attract the birds.
Most trees, shrubs and vines
are planted in the spring while
their buds are still dormant. The
roots should be spread out in a
generous sized hole and firmly
covered with fine damp soil.
Keep well watered and if . neces-
sary staked for protection against
the wind until thoroughly estab-
lished.

Science For Peace!
The possibility of using the
thermonuclear fusion reaction
for peaceful power purposes is
one of the most exciting scienti•
flc developments of the future;,.;
The major breakthrough is probe
ably 10 or 15 years ahead. Bit
when it comes it will be possibip:.
to convert water into powen_:

The United States, Britain
and Russia all are doing impor-
tant basic research in this field,
The Americans and British ex-
change information, But the
United States 'keeps this non-
military research wrapped up in
the tightest kind of security
regulations. The British claim
that the United States has de-
layed disclosure of what they
believe to be important British
advances.
Many American scientists be-
lieve research in this field should
be free " and open—that Ameri-
can secrecy is, in fact, harmful
to our own progress. One of
these is Dr. M. Stanley Living-
ston, professor of physics at
Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology and an expert in high
energy nuclear physics.
Dr. Livingston proposes that
President Eisenhower implement
his "science for peace" idea with
an offer to free thermonuclear
power research of security re-
strictions and with a suggestion
that the Soviets and the West
cooperate on this peaceful, nu-
clear work.
This project has no military
application. And Dr. Livingston
says that if the United States
is behind either Britain or Rus-
sia, it is because American sci-
entists are severely handicapped
by Atomic Energy Commission
security rules.
What Is worse, according to
the MIT physicist, institutions
such as his are unable to teach
and train young physicists in a
field which, 10 years from now,
may be all-important. Physicists
now doing graduate work, he
says, should be allowed to grow
up with the research in such a
field.
Maybe the President's new
science adviser, Dr. Killian, will
get around soon to examining
this problem and persuading
the President of its potential as
a "work of peace."—Birming-
