(Nagging Wives
The young wife wanted her
freedom so that she could marry
a wealthy man. Her husband
would not consent to a divorce,
however, because, despite her
proneness to nagging, he was
still in love with her.
"So you refuse to divorce
me?" she demanded, The hus-
band nodded and launched into
a heartfelt plea to his wife to
kiss an make up, But the wife,
Instead of feeling pleased, nurs-
ed a bitter hatred against him
and determined to make his life
a misery.
Night after night, as he tried
to sleep, she disturbed him. At
first, she merely placed alarm
clocks under his bed, timed to
go off at 2 or 3 a.m. But eventu-
ally he grew accustomed to
them, so she took sterner mea-
sures. Creeping into his roan,
rhe would dash a cupful of ice-
cold water into his face, some-
times not even bothering to re•
move the ice lumps!
Finally, as the culmination of
her hate, she took to daubing
him, while he slept, with quan-
tities of flour paste. At last the
unfortunate man relented and
gave her grounds for divorce.
Nagging, it has been said,
weakens only those who are
themselves weak. People with
strong and buoyant tempera-
ments generally stop such non-
sense before it can begin, or
perlticps'they -du—Nis-Ns ss ry JIM-
gers in the first place!
A Yorkshirewornan, though
good-hearted, hard-working and
thrifty, became thoroughly net-
tled by her husband's habit of
putting his feet up on the best
chair in their living -room. She
wearied of telling him to desist.
So she took to rattling a tin of
atones in his ears every time
she caught him with his feet up.
This new tactic fairly riled him.
He counter -attacked by hunting
out and throwing away her tin
of stones. This only made her
get bigger tins and stones.
The situation became so diffi-
cult that the two took separate
rooms and for two years lived
quite apart, even taking their
meals independently,
In the U.S.A., nagging in some
households takes the form of
endlessly criticizing the hus-
band's money -earning capacity,
his manners, his choice of neck-
wear, the closeness or otherwise
of his shave.
Inevitably, the nagger offers
him a good comparison — that
'peach of a man," Steve Smooth-
phizz, two blocks distant, who
every day gives his wife such a
pleasant surprise: money for a
new dress, a bouquet, some new
perfume or a big box of choco-
lates.
"He worships the ground on
which her shadow falls," said
one disgruntled woman, refer-
ring to a neighbour's hhusband.
'But as for you, Custard Joe,
you don't see my shadow any-
where—no, not even when I'm
standing right here beside you."
"Nor you mine, any longer,
oney," snapped the husband,
Kis patier.ce worn out. And so
saying, he jumped into his car
ind roared off. He didn't return,
er give her a clue to his where-
abouts for four long weeks.
When he reappeared, she was
mighty glad to welcome him
back, and having learned her
lesson, put away her "nagger's
tongue," as she had the grace to
eay, into the family fridge!
Who wins the nagger's stakes?
There can be no final answer,
since new forms of nagging sp-
ear almost daily. But could it
t:*
the woman who, jealous of
er husband's mania for stamp
collecting, and thinking that he
kept her short of housekeeping
money, formed the vastly irri-
tating habit of plastering his
boots with old used postage
stamps, torn off envelopes and
parcels?
She pasted them down so
tight that when he was in a
hurry to catch his morning train
for the office, he often had first
to steam them off his toe -caps,
and rush off with unpolished
boots,
It seemed she derived im-
mense satisfaction out of this
procedure. Matters came to a
crux when he was preparing for
his firm's annual dinner, a dressy
affair, and he found the front of
his stiff white shirt transformed
into a chequer -board of used
stamps. This naturally annoyed
the keen collector.
The situation worsened when
she began to invade his stamp
album, removed prized speci-
mens, and sold them "to raise
her housekeeping allowance."
Admitting defeat, he disposed of
his entire collection.
Now he sits at home, a morose
and silent man, while his wife
tells the neighbours: "My hus-
band's getting old and horribly
dull. A pity he can't find some-
thing interesting to occupy him,"
When women take to nagging,
then men must look out. From
northern France comes a story
of a couple who became es.
tranged because of the wife's ob-
session for dogs. She not only
kept large numbers of them, but
gave them the complete run of
the house....... ..
The husband, returning from '
work, was shocked to discover
Pekes perched on the kitchen
table, sampling his stew. When
he went into the drawing -room,
there were other dogs scuffling
about. It was the same in the
bedroom. They climbed into his
bed and drove hint out of it.
When he complained, his wife
accused him of being "a hard-
hearted beast!"
Sometimes women are victims
of naggers. Let us introduce
Hildegrade, a Hamburg woman
who, living with her sister on a
joint income, their father's leg-
acy, felt perhaps that with her
sister removed, her own life
would be rosier.
Now this sister, Anna -Maria,
detested, as many women do,
both mice and spiders. So Hilde-
garde went out of her way to
introduce such creatures on all
possible occasions.
Poor Anna -Maria could no
longer look forward even to
milk puddings, her favourite
sweet, for invariably she found
a spider drowned beneath the
rice. Mice, too, scampered
about the house with discon-
certing frequency. And some-
times these also appeared on
the menu,
It was all done very subtly.
The nagging sister even pro-
duced a cat, to keep the mice
down, but fed it surreptitiously
so that it wouldn't look at a
mouse, dead or alive.
This dreadful state of affairs,
with one sister trying to drive
the other crazy, persisted for
about three years. But Anna -
Maria was tough. Finally, she
decided to go and live with
friends in a fresh district, And
this time fate neatly intervened.
For Hildegarde, living on her
own, caught a chill which de-
veloped into pneumonia and
caused her death.

One welcome sign of spring
is rhubarb. A favorite way of
cooking it may be familiar to
some of you, but it's worth men-
tioning because of its simplicity.
After washing stalks of rhu-
barb, trim off any brown spots
and cut on a board into 1 -inch
pieces. Place in a casserole with
some sugar—about 3/4 cup of
sugar to 1 pound rhubarb, unless
you have a sweeter tooth. Cover
and bake at about 325° F. for
45 minutes. No water is needed,
for the drops of moisture which
cling when you wash the stalks
will combine with the natural
juice of the plant to make abund-
ant sauce, and slow cooking will
produce a lovely, deep pink hue,
A little experimenting the
other day resulted in a delight-
ful modification of the above
process. With the sugar which
was sprinkled on the rhubarb
there was mixed about 3 tea-
spoons of cornstarch, and of
course the resulting sauce be-
came thick as it cooked. (A stir
once in a while during cooking
helps to keep the sauce smooth.)
When the thickened rhubarb
cooled, it was not only a strik-
ing pink, but just the right con-
sistency to spoon into crisp tart
shells, made from ordinary pie -
crust. A dab of whipped cream
on top made a handsome and
delicious dessert, a kind of one -
crust rhubarb pie.
There was one special advan-
tage, too. You can put the rhu-
barb in the tart shells just be-
fore serving time, thus avoid-
ing the soaking -in process which
Often makes a day-old pie some-
what soggy.

Just in case you've mislaid
former recipes for roasting a
leg of lamb, here are directions.
If your leg of lamb weighs from
5 to 6 pounds, roast it from 21/4
to 32 hours at 300° F. If you
use a meat thermometer, it will
register 175° F. for medium done
and 180° for well done.
Do not have fell removed
from leg of lamb. Season meat
with salt and pepper. Place skin
side down on rack in open roast-
ing pan. Insert meat thermom-
eter so the bulb reaches the cen-
ter of the thickest part of the
leg, being sure bulb does not
rest on fat or bone. Do not add
water. Do not cover. Allow 30 to
35 minutes per'pound for roast-
ing. * * *
To go with your roast lamb, try
these mint dressing balls. About
thirty minutes before your lamb
is done, place these balls on a
rack with the roast and bake
them. You'll enjoy. this new way
of serving mint.
MINT DRESSiNG BALLS
r/ cup finely chopped onion
r/r cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups toasted bread crumbs
r/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
YR teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dried mint or
cup chopped fresh mint
1 egg beaten
Cook onion and celery in Nut-
ter until tender; add remaining
ingredients and toss until moist-
ened. Shape into eight balls,
• * •
Meringues
If you decide not to serve mint
in dressing balls, garnish your
roast with mint meringue treats.
Beat 1 egg white until stiff. Add
1/4 cup mint jelly and continue
beating until well mixed. Place
11
meringue in 4 or 5 peach or pear
halves. Bake or broil until mer-
ingue is lightly browned.
Another Garnish
Another idea for garnish for
your lamb is fruit en brochette,
Thread any combination of small
fruit or pieces of fruit, such as
pineapple chunks, cherries, crab
apples or bananas, on skewers.
If you like them hot, brush with
melted butter before heating,
Sweet Potatoes
If you're having sweet pota-
toes, you may like to serve these
pineapple towers. Spread canned
pinapple slices with mashed
sweet potatoes, brush with but-
ter and top each with a marsh-
mallow. Bake until heated
through. * * *
You'll like a Iamb breast if
you fill it with this pineapple -
mint dressing. Get a 3 -pound,
boned breast; cut a pocket from
end to end. Season with salt and
pepper. Put the dressing inside
the pocket and skewer edges to-
gether. Place on rack fat side up
in uncovered roasting pan; roast
at 325' F. for 2 hours or until
tender. Make gravy with pan
drippings,
PINEAPPLE -MINT STUFFING
2 tablespoons shortening
3 tablespoons finely chopped
onion
1 quart soft bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
1 can (No. 2) or 2r/s cups
crushed pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon chopped mint
Melt shortening in skillet; add
onion and saute until tender.
Pour over soft bread crumbs,
salt, pepper, pineapple and mint.

will speed the process.) Then,
overlap apples in parallel rows
on top of dough, pushing each
slcie of apple, thin edge only,
part-way into dough,
Combine next three in-
gredients,
'/l teaspoon cinnamon

Sprinkle combination over ap-
ples, then top with three table-
spoons of butter. Bake in a hot
oven 400° F. for about 40 min-
utes, or until the apples are ten-
der.
The topping is optional, After
the cake has cooled for ten min-
utes, either whipped cream or

will do), spread over the top
will complete an attractively
delicious dessert.

Pottery -Making
A Female Craft
Pottery -making, so long as it
was done by hand, was in many
cases a female craft. In view
of the lack of communication be-
tween the women of different
communities divided by dif,
ference of speech and probably
of ritual, there were many local
variants among the products of
the female crafts, Among these
crafts that of pottery -making
gives specially valuable evidence,
because pot fragments have so
often persisted for thousands of
years;
As Europe north of the Medi-
terranean was at first merely a
barbaric fringe of the Middle
East and the Aegean civiliza-
tions, it is natural that the paint-
ed pottery of the Near East
should have been made, in the
course of time, during the third
millennium B.C. on the loess
lands in Hungary and west of
the Dnieper. But though skill in
pottery did spread westwards,
the idea of a coloured slip did
not penetrate far. Instead, the
surface, while still soft, was
marked with incised lines, finger
impressions and, later on, with
incrustations, The lines might be
traced with an edged or pointed
stick or might be impressed by
pressing a string. There are also
pots in the Danish museums or-
namented by pressing a cockle-
shell on to the surface before
baking.
Archaeologists trace the spread
and the replacement of pottery
styles in Europe as their best
line of evidence for interpreting
movements of peoples and of
cultural elements. It is a fact
of some importance that about
2000 B.C. or soon afterwards
there appeared in Spain and in
central Europe pottery of finer
quality than had for the most
part been made hitherto in these
regions. The vessels made were
drinking cups or beakers; the
paste of which they were made
was usually fine and the baking
well done. The style is of interest,
partly because, though it and its
variants last•only a few genera-
tions, they can be traced over
wide areas, both in Spain and on
the loess of middle Europe as
well as, in quantity, in Britain,

Removing Stains
From Old Glass
One day at an auction 1 saw
a lovely cut glass perfurns
bottle. It was badly stained with
a "high water" mark inside,
I've learned not to buy dis-
colored or dead glass, no.matter
how beautiful the shape and
pattern when it is badly marked
in this way. And until then I
had never found a way to re-
move the stubborn stains.
The person next to me spoke
up. "If the dealer would clean
the bottles before exhibiting
them, she would get far better
prices,"
"Do you know a method for
removing stains like that?" 1
asked.
"Only an old-fashioned one
that seems to work," she replied.
"Wash a potato well, then cut it
up into small chunks with tha
peel left on. Put half a cup of
these into the bottle with enough
water to reach the line of dis-
coloration. Let them stand ono
or more days. Then when you
rinse the bottle, the stains will
be gone."
And, wonderful to be told, the
old homemade method has
worked equally well for nie! —

ALL FOR PEACE — Fifty people protesting American nuclear tests scheduled to begin in the

Philadelphia The marchers intend to go to the U.N. Building to bring up their case for the
abolition of nuclear tests on Good Friday.
Teachers And
Tooth Wigglers
The other morning I took time
off to visit school, something we
taxpayers 4tre told we ought to
do, and my schoolteacher friend
said, "I don't know why it is,
but every time I schedule as-
sembly the men come to fix the
roof." It thus befell we spoke
of such matters, and I suggested
he shunt his academic duties
down a sidetrack long enough
to write a readable article on
what teachers put up with.
This could be important. For
long years now the great homo-
genized educational system has
beer. belaboring various points,
no doubt with rectitude, and we
taxpayers have been subjected
to great arguments designed to
enlist our sympathy and sup-
port. We hear how the poor
teacher studies herself into a
finished product, lingering long
hours with, the midnight oil,
rreparing herself in privation
and want to be underpaid.
This logic, truthfully, doesn't
impress me, for I always get to
thinking that these poor crea-
tures didn't labor at their tasks
any more than I did, and that
their security on the public pay-
roll is an advantage I've never
enjoyed. True, some years I
may have salted down more cu-
cumbers than they did, but most-
ly that is because I elected lay
way and they theirs. You can't
blame me for that. I don't wish
to leave this thought unroundcd,
however, and am touching it in
passing only to get at the next
point.
The next point is that I would
not be a schoolmarm for any-
thing, because I wouldn't like it,
and nobody has ever approached
mo on behalf of education with
telling arguments on my own
feelings. Nobody has ever given
me a loud pitch about the other
things teachers put up with. For
instance, why doesn't some
school superintendent, after in-
creased appropriations, get up in
Town Meeting and ask the tax-
payers how they'd like to sit all
day in front of 35 youngsters
who are wiggling their loose
teeth?
I believe all teachers who
teach those grades along in that
period of juvenile development
are underpaid, I think every one
of them, from East to West,
ought lo get four or five times
as much money, plus fringe
benefits, vacation expenses, every
other year off with pay, and an
old -age pension which will let
them live in opulence and glory,
They ought to get this whether
they're any good or not -not for

teaching -but for enforced tooth
watching.
But I have never seen this
phase of public education pro-
sented as a reason for higher
wages. They tell me about cost -
of -living indices, summer -school
expenses, papers to correct at
hone, and all such as that -but
never do they dwell on the pa-
tience, endurance, and stamina
of the woman who sits, day in
and day out, trying to get Mis-
souri bounded on the West, and
sees no future beyond watching
a roomful of tykes wiggling their
front teeth, I will personally
speak in favor of a mill increase
in taxes any time an educator
gives me this argument, skip-
ping' for the time being all the
other great arguments so ad-
mired.
The workmen who came to fix
the roof is a similar thing, really,
Just as the bell rings to summon
the scholars to the assembly we
saw some men ascend a ladder
outside the windows. As the pro-
gram started, commencing with
a violin solo, there was a great
banging above and somebody
shouted, "Hey, Charlie, push it
this way a foot!"
The little girl played on, strok-
ing her fiddle with youthful care
as if she were frugally trying to
avoid wearing out the strings,
and the roofers whanged on the
building with flailing hammers.
Integument contr actors and
music have little in common, un-
less you abuse the definition of
counterpoint.
Then came the little boy who
had memorized a declamation,
and he thrust his chin into his
chest and began, While he ex-
emplified the inculcations of his
voice teacher the following col-
loquy was heard from above:
"Joe, bring up a twallyhist!"
"What's that, Hank?"
"I say, bring up a polterstarn!"
"They's one up there."
"I want a big one."
"Okay!"
"0, never mind -I got one!"
My schoolteacher friend look-
ed drawn and tired. He had
gone to college and accoutered
his stature with degrees, He had
dedicated himself to culture and
instruction. He was up early in
the morning and stayed late for
PTA. No taxpayer, urged to aid
him in his financial paucity, was
ever told that the schoolhouse
roof Is fixed regularly on as-
sembly day.
My friend said the root wasn't
as bad as the furnace repairs
on music day. While the youth-
ful musicians master their in-
struments, and work up gradual-
ly to a concert number, the
plumbers work in the pickle
F]ants and shoe shops. But when
Mendelsshon's Spring Song is of
age and ready for rendition, then
come the furnace repairmen and
pound on the pipes. Once, he
said, they got a fine movie on
the cocoa industry, and just as
the show started, the power
failed. Electrictlans had come
after long last and had pulled
the main switch while they
worked. So it goes, he said.
So I suggetsed to my friend
that he compose himself with
as much relaxation as a man h
his job could muster, and sit
down to tell the great and
taxpayer what it's really like to
be a schoolteacher - over and
over above the commoner argu-
ments already heard so often.
He said he thought this was an
excellent idea, and as soon. as
the plasterers got through in hls
office he would undertake it.
So if you ever read such a piece
anywhere, you'll know how the
idea started.

CORNY EFFECT - It may be corny but this funny face lends a
little something extra to the farm of Walter P. Schindler.
Schindler made the corn crib out of snow fence material, using
corn stalks atop as weather protection.

Government Dairy Specialist
D. B. Goodwillie, told the On-
tario Concentrated Milk Produ-
cers at their annual meeting that
there is little doubt what the
price situation for concentrated
milk products in Canada would
be today if import controls were
not in effect. World prices, he
said, are just about half of those
prevailing in Canada.
* • •
The concentrated milk indus-
try is now well on its way to-
wards the three-quarter billion
pound production target. The big
increase occurred in the by-
products which were up 33 per
cent, however, the whole milk
-products also showed a 5 per
cent increase. With more milk
expected to be produced this
year plus increased facilities for
processing this milk, Mr. Good-
willie said it is very likely that
production will once again be at
record levels.
* • •
According to latest informa-
tion there will be at least four-
teen new plants in Canada mak-
ing powdered milk for human
consumption in • 1958. Three of
these are spray and eleven roller.
Five are in Ontario. one in Mani-
toba and eight in Quebec. In ad-
dition, some eleven plants have
installed, or are in the process of
installing additional equipment
with the view to handling larger
quantities of milk than in for-
mer years.
• * •
With the exception of dry
whole milk, Canada's exports
have been decreasing each year
and 1957 was no exception. Ex-
ports of evaporated milk and
sweetened condensed milk were
the lowest in over 30 years, Mr,
Goodwillie said, and dry skim -
milk the lowest since 1945. The
chief reason for this, he pointed
out, is that Canadian prices have
been substantially above world
levels.
• • •
Domestic usage of concentrated
milk products in 1957 was at
record levels. This is not surpris-
ing, Mr. Goodwillie said, when
the higher production, heavy im-
ports and lower exports are tak-
en into consideration, However,
he pointed out that the outlook
for any substantial increase in
domestic usage of all concen-
trated products in 1958 is not as
bright as it has been in some of
the other years. Nevertheless,
there is no reason to believe that
consumption will decline unless
something - unforeseen develops,
lie said.
For the past three years the
relation between crop sequence
and root infection of cereals has
been studied in selected fields
near Edillonton, Alberta. Dr, L.
E. Tyner reports that the lowest
infections on barley seedlings
were from soils that had been
planted to one or more crops of
oats during the three year study.
Oats is a resistant crop to root
rot infection. This cereal docs
not provide food for the root rot
fungi so they decrease in num-
ber. On the other hand wheat
and barley are susceptible to
root rot fungi in the soil so
whenever they are planted the
fungi tend to increase rapidly.
The three fields in 111e tests near
Edmonton with the most severe
Infections had been cropped to
wheat or barley for three succe-
alve years. Infection in these
fields ranged from 44 to 52 per
cent.
The severity of root rot in-
fection was assessed by actual
observation of the plant roots in
the field and a record of the
crops grown was obtained from
year to year. Other factors such
as type of soil, tillage methods,
elevation and moisture condi-
tions, were also taken into con-
sideration.
• • •
In the late summer of 1957,
samples of soil were secured
from each field and these were
placed in pots in the greenhouse
and planted to barley. After
three weeks growth the root rot
symptons on the seedlings were
estimated. Seven samples pro-
duced infection ranging from 31
to 52 per cent, and with only one
exception these soils had been
cropped to wheat or barley for
two of the three years since 1955.
* • •
In view of consumer demand
for lean and tender beef the prac-
tice of tenderizing meat has de-
veloped into a valuable asset to
the industry. Without question
the most popular form of tender-
' izing is the famous mechanical
tenderizer ... the meat grinder.
In the United States, nearly 45
per cent of the total beef supply
is thus tenderized. However, it
is pointed out that great strides
have also been made in this
field through the use of enzymes.
It is reported, that packers in
the United States, are now using
about 20,000 gallons of enzyme
tenderizers a month. This is suffi-
cient to tenderize about six mil-
lion steaks. This whole process
represents a change from the
tradition of tenderizing beet
through 'grain feeding and aging
the carcasses in coolers. Because
of this development it is possible
to up -grade steaks from steers
oft grass, and cows.
• *
In the United States the en-
thusiasm for grilled beef out-
doors has substantially increased
the demand for high-grade beet,
In Canada, the barbecue is a
very popular outlet for steaks
during the summer months.
Mike Todd,
Showman
Extraordinary !
A friend of his once tried to
sum up Mike Todd in a sentence.
"He definitely belongs on a run-
away horse," he said, That was
Todd, almost from the day of his
birth in Minneapolis half a cen-
tury ago, to the day of his death
recently in a flaming airplane
in a mountainous region of New
Mexico.
lie was killed at the height
of a career that had gone up and
down like a fever chart. 1113
greatest success, the movie
"Around the World in 80 Days",
was coining money in theater's
all over the world ($33 million
grossed to date).
Mike Todd was a man who
could never stand still or keep
silent for any length of time.
Of medium stature and lithely
built, he was forever buzzing
around restaurants and confer-
ence rooms while the staccato
words poured out of hila. In one
gesticulating hand there would
always be a cigar; in the other,
a good deal of the time, would
be a telephone on a cord long
enough to follow his peregrina-
tions, I13 restaurants he would
have a phone brought to his
table even before the menu. And
while he talked to the people
around him he would also be
talking to London or Johannes-
burg or possibly to his bookie,
Even in the midst of his fierce
gin -rummy games -at which he
was said to have lost as much
as $25,000 at a sitting -he would
be barking into the telephone.
He could be one of the most
persuasive talkers in the world.
In one breath he could be suave-
ly convincing Noel Coward -by
phone, overseas, of course -that
Coward should play a bit part,
and in the next he could loose
a barrage of billingsgate that
would curl a dock walloper's
hair. When he spoke of Eliza-
beth Taylor he sounded like a
lovesick schoolboy,
When he was listening to
somebody else, which wasn't of-
ten, Todd's mouth would shut
trap hard. For turning the
speaker down, he said: "How do
you want your 'no' - fast or
slow?'
It was largely his gift of tong-
ues that brought Mike Todd the
long way that he came. Ile was
born Avrom Hirsch Goldbogen,
the son of a onetime rabbi from
Poland and one of eight children.
("Todd" emerged from a child-
hood nickname and he made it
official when he was 21.) lis
started working at odd jobs
when he was 5 ar.d whenever
a carnival came to Minneapolis
13e would wangle some kind of
job with that,
But if show business was in
his blood, it was in Chicago real
estate that he made his first
fortune -and before he was 19
years old.
When that business collapsed,
he went to Hollywood and !nada
another fortune -his first mil-
lion, he called it -building early
sound stages. Somehow that mil-
lion got lost in the shuffle, too.
"I've never been poor, only
broke," Todd once said philoso-
phically. "Being poor is a frame
of mind, Being broke is only a
temporary situation."
In 1933, he was back in show
business -this time at Chicago's
World's Fair where he produced
an act called "The Flame Dance".
This involved a girl dressed like
a moth gyrating around a candle
until her costume appeared to
burn off, leaving her the way
Todd always liked his showgirls
dressed -barely. "I burned up
four girls perfecting that act,'
Todd once recalled dreamily, and
while some of his friends were
sure he was joking, some weren't
conjpletely sure.
Then came Broadway and two
disastrous flops, then a hit, "The
Hot Mikado" with the late Bill
Robinson, More hits followed:
"Star and Garter" with Gypsy
Rose Lee, "Something for the
Boys" with Ethel Merman. "I be-
lieve in giving the customers a
meat -and- potatoes show," Todd
liked to say. "Dames and come-
dy. High dames and low comedy
- that's my message."
Ten years ago he was bank-
rupt again - he cheerfully ex-
plained in court that he had
gambled away "maybe a quar-
ter million dollars" - and a
couple of years later he had
made another million out of
"Cinerama" (which led to his
own three-dimensional process,
Todd -AO).
Such was the fabulous figure
who, if he had lived to attend
the weekend dinner in his honor,
would have heard George Jessel
toast him in these words:
"The wiry, dark, dynamic
thing that calls itself Mike Todd
is a combination of many emo-
tions . the pleadings of a
pushcart peddler .. , the chutspa
(gall, in Yiddish) of a Roman
emperor . . . (He rose) from
conman to connoisseur. At the
Chicago World's Fair, he cried:
"Step right up folks, see the
pretty girl ...' Within two de-

LESSON
By ltev. R. B. Warren, B.A., B.D.
God Prepares a Leader
Exodus 3:1-7, 10-15
The book of Deuteronomy
closes with these words, "And
there arose not a prophet since
in Israel like unto Moses, whom
the LORD knew face to face, is
all the signs and wonders, which
the LORD sent him to do in the
land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and
to all his servants, and to all his
land, and in all that mighty
hand, and in all the great ter-
ror which Moses shewed in the
sight of all Israel." But for those
forty years of outstanding lead-
ership there had been eighty
years of intensive training. First
there were parents with faith
who nurtured the child in the
early years. They made the
most of the brief time they had.
It was a period of great tribu-
lation for the Hebrews. Suffer-
ing and reproach have helped
to mould many of the world's
greatest leaders. ' During the
years in Pharaoh's court he be-
came learned in all the wisdom
of the Egyptians, and was
mighty in words and in deeds.
'At the age of forty he made the
great decision stated in the
Memory Selection: "By faith
Moses, when he was come to
years, refused to be called the
son of Pharaoh's daughter; .. .
esteeming the reproach of Christ
greater riches than the treasures
in Egypt: for he had respect un-
to the recompense of the re-
ward." I-Iebrews 11:24, 26.
Ono day Moses slew an Egyp-
tian for smiting a Hebrew. "He
supposed his brethren would
have understood how that God
by his hand would deliver them:
but they understood not." (Acts
7:25.) One of them rebuked him
when he tried to settle a die;
puto between two of them and
asked, "Wilt thou kill me, as
thou didst the Egyptian yes-
terday?" Moses, realizing that
his crime was known fled to
Midian where for forty years he
tended sheep, Here he developed
patience and learned many les-
sons. A later exhibition of im-
patience cost him the privilege
of entering the promised land.
The meeting at the burning
bush was a memorable experi-
ence. Here Moses was commis-
sioned for the great task. He
humbly accepted the charge.
This was the most important
phase of his preparation. Hi
stood in the presence of God
and talked with Him. Good par-
ental training, formal educa-
tion, learning in the school ol
hard knocks are good. But these
will not make a prophet. Thera
must be the meeting with God.
And for successful Christian
living we must all meet with
God day by day.
cedes in Monte Carlo, he said:
'Thank you, Picasso, I'll take
those six paintings, it's a Sun-
day present for my wife ... ' "

THE CIESEL FIREMAN DISPUTE ON CANADIANPACIFIC
TWO YEARS AGO, in April 1956 the Firemen's Union demanded wage increases and other benefits involving
substantial increased costs.
AT THE SAME TIME Canadian Pacific proposed that, as firemen were not necessary, they should no longer be carried
on diesel locomotives in freight and yard service. J
CANADIAN PACIFIC also proposed dropping both arbitrary wage payments for which no service was rendered
and differential wage rates in mountain territory. • -
IN DECEMBER 1956 a Federal Board of Conciliation recommended substantial wage increases and other benefits;
At the same time, it found that firemen were not required on diesel locomotives in freight and yard service and
made provision for protection of their employment. It also found that payment of arbitraries and mountain differen-
tial should be modified.
CANADIAN PACIFIC accepted the Conciliation Board's report:
THE FIREMEN'S UNION rejected the report and called a strike on January 26 1957:
' 11 11 % •• „S.
THE STRIKE WAS ENDED on January 11, 1957 on the following basis:-.'
"'`'v f '•`rT... _�.... 11 11 ——"r�""-�^•�.. re–
l. Canadian Pacific agreed to pay the substantial wage increases retroactive to April 1 offthe previous year and
other benefits recommended by the Conciliation Board,
2. The Union and Canadian Pacific agreed to refer the -DIESEL ISSUE as well as paymer,l of arbitraries and mountain
differential to a ROYAL COMMISSION.
3. The Union and Canadian Pacific agreed to negotiate these issues in the light of and imme,:iately following the
publication of the ROYAL COMMISSION'S Report.
rHE KELLOCK ROYAL COMMISSION of three senior judges devoted ten months to hearing 119 witnesses and, at •
the request of the Firemen's Union, made on -the -ground investigations across Canada and also made observations
on four major European railway systems. It was the most extensive and thorough investigation in the history of
labour relations in Canada.
IN ITS UNANIMOUS REPORT published February 4, 1958 the ROYAL COMMISSION found that:
1. Firemen are not required on diesel locomotives in freight and yard service on Canadian Pacific either for safety
or any other reason.
2. The proposal of Canadian Pacific for protecting firemen from loss of employment and seniority is fair and generous:
3. Arbitraries have become unrealistic and should be dropped and payment made on the basis of service rendered;
4. Mountain differential payments should be dropped and replaced by valley differential.
CANADIAN PACIFIC accepted the report of the KELLOCK ROYAL COMMISSION as it had undertaken to do
.:
when the Commission was appointed.
THE UNION rejected the report, stating that nothing in it was acceptable to them. They did so knowing that not
one fireman would suffer Toss of railway employment who was hired before the proposal to discontinue firemen
on freight and yard diesels was made in April, 1956. All across Canada there are less than 100 firemen hired
after that date and now working who face possible lay-off.
ALL EFFORTS of Canadian Pacific to settle the dispute through negotiations with the Firemen's Union have failed.
FOR TWO YEARS firemen have enjoyed substantial wage increases. During these two years action on the diesel
issue has been postponed while the Union had every contention it could advance investigated by two enquiries:
CANADIAN PACIFIC has a duty to the public to operate the railway efficiently and economically:
CANADIAN PACIFIC, to fulfill this duty, has given notice to the Firemen's Union that the findings of the KELLOCK
ROYAL COMMISSION will take effect on May 11, 1958:.
THIS ACTION is in accordance with Federal labour kiwi

"Ever since I was a little girl
I have dreamed of a home and
children—and now that I ani in
love I find I shall have to wait
another whole year!" A con-
fused young woman wonders
how she can live through such
an eternity. "The man has ap-
plied for his divorce, but it
won't be granted until then. An-
other, a more recent friend, fell
in love almost at once and begs
me to marry him. I admire and
respect him, and he's lots of
fun, but that is all,"
She asks me what to do.
"For two years I've loved the
first man," she continues. "He
never cared for his wife, and
since the first year he has beg-
ged her for a divorce. I cannot
question his devotion. We have
observed all the amenities, of
course, but I don't see how I
can be patient for so long!
"My parents are very much
opposed to a divorce, and if I
wait for the one I love there
is bound to be a struggle.
"I am rather sure I can make
the other man happy. My fam-
ily like him, too. Do you think
if I marry him I can forget my
love?"

PARENTS WORRY IIEIt
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 15,
and my parents worry me. They
never seem to be affectionate to
each other; I've never seen them
kiss except when father comes
home. This seems strange to me,
though of course they get along
all right. Does it mean they
don't love each other?
"1 am not allowed to date yet.
They tell me to stick to my
studies; this is hard, when all
my girl friends go with boys.
My mother has never talked
about sex to me, and all I know
is what I read. -
"It is good to tell somebody
about these things. Ilow can I
understand my family better?
MARY"
" Fathers and mothers do not
" have to prove their love by
• outward signs in the presence
• of their children. They show
• it in their glances, their
" voices, and in other ways a
* girl your age would not recog-
• nize. Above all, they prove it
• by getting along pleasantly,
* treating each other kindly,
* and keeping the family at-
• mosphere serene for their chil-
e dren.
• As to dating, try not to be
• impatient. Your parents know
• you better than you know
• yourself, and when you ars
• ready to have boy friends
• they will help you to be pop-
• ular. Meantime, perhaps they
• will allow you to entertain
• girls and boys together. Ask
• them.
• Many mothers are shy
• about discussing sex with
• their children. Why don't you
• talk with your family doctor?
• • •
If a girl is In love with
one man she should know
how futile it Is to seek her
happiness with another. These

SAM'S SANIES
"Her voice has the range of an
organ, but fewer stops."
KULDIP'S COMEBACK—After making a big hit on the Groucho
Marx show "You Bet Your life" in 1956, handsome Indian singer
Kuldip Singh fell victim to a series of Hollywood ups and downs
calculated to gray his thick, black hair. But now he thinks his
troubles are over as he stars on Shirley Temple's "Storybook"
series. Here he draws his sword to protect Princess Sue England
in "land of Green Ginger".
NEW NOTE IN CHIVALRY—Sir Walter Raleigh had his cape and
Warren Prince, a 17 -year-old gentleman, has his tuba, which
also proves to be very handy in the rain. Shirley Sandusky, 14,
the champion baton twirler, found the tuba a pretty good
umbrella after a band competition.
Last week the news highlights
— that is, locally — concerned
the Women's Institute. One day
there , was a pot -luck luncheon
at the Community Hall near
here sponsored by a local branch.
Each member was allowed to
bring two guests. It was a won-
derful lunch -savoury scalloped
dishes of this and that brought
in piping hot, along with cold
meat, chicken and so on. And
of course there were plenty of
pies, tarts, trifle and a birthday
cake — all guaranteed to add
inches to one's waist -line. If we
had such luncheons too often we
might all be glad to take to
"chemise" fashions. Of course it
was all very friendly and in-
formal. After lunch we had as
guest speaker Mrs. E. L. Deigh-
ton, Hydro Economist, who
showed us "How To Live Better
Electrically". First she gave us
a very interesting and informa-
tive talk and then drove home
her points by means of a movie,
in colours, illustrating what can
be done electrically to improve
working and living conditions in
an older type home. How could
any woman fail to be interested
in such a topic? But just think
how impossible all the sugges-
tions would have been years ago
when the W.I. was in its in-
fancy! At that time housewives
were more interested in easy
ways to clean lamp chimineys
or home remedies to ease croup
or bronchitis when roads were
drifted so badly it was doubtful
if a doctor could get through.
Yes, times have certainly
changed. And yet, it is rather
nice occasionally to go back to
some of the old-fashioned occu-
pations. For instance there was
that W.A. quilting hee 1 went to
just recently. I really enjoyed
the work, taking me back to the
time years ago when quilting
used to be a fascinating hobby
for many women. And how they
ever did such fine work by the
light of coal -oil lamps 1'11 never
know.
Nowadays quilting is done un-
der good lights and maybe with
a television program going on
at the same time, disrupting the
friendly gossip usually associated
with a quilting Ire. But dear
me, we have to keep up with
the time;.
The next W.I. diversion took
place in our old Clinger I'arin
district and was the occasion et
the 25th Anniversary. We had
a turkey banquet — another
branch in the same district doing
the catering for (;. It was a
family affair -- just for mem-
bers, their husbands and chil-
dren. Of course we enjoyed be-
_ ing back among our old neigh.
hours and a.zsociatcs, especially
r s we noticed how well and con-
tented those in our own age group
seemed to be. It was the middle•
aged group who appeared to be
showing signs of stress. Which
is understandable. They are the
ones who now have to cope with
problems incidental to raising
teen-age children, to say nothing
of the high cost of living and
its reaction on the family as a
whole. Yes, it was an evening
out that we wouldn't have miss-
ed for anything. In fact we were
So anxious to be among those
present that we turned up for
the banquet a day ahead of time!
I was so sure I had been told
it was on a Thursday. After we
had started on our way I began
to have an uneasy feeling and
said to Partner — "I wonder if
it is tonight — usually they have
these things on a Friday." Sure
enough it was to -be on Friday
so we had two trips but only
one banquet! It didn't matter
anyway. Once we arrive in the
neighbourhood of Ginger Farm
there are always friends to visit.
Friday night it was wet and
snowy, miserable driving, but
we arrived home in time tor
Partner to see the last ten min-
utes of the boxing bout on TV.
Before we left we noticed quite
a few old-timers heading home
about 9.30 so 1 imagine Partner
was not the only one wanting of
see the fight.
Yesterday we had all the fami-
ly here and Partner and I were
the only -ones not suffering from
a cough or cold. We love having
all our grandsons together at
one time. It is at such a time
we are glad we didn't settle
for a smaller house, Plenty of
room here for children to play
and the dining -area accommo-
dates eight or ten very nicely.
Lill, a little neighbour -girl came
over too — in fact she is here
almost every day, a quiet, well-
behaved girl whose birthplace
was somewhere in Yugoslavia.
Before we had supper I went
with Bob and Joy to look at a
house they are thinking of buy-
ing In the Milton district, Part-
ner stayed home to await" the .
rest of the family. The house
Bob is thinking of buying is
quite handy to his work and
within sight of "the Mountain"
— the same Mounlain that used
to give me so much pleasure
when we were on the farm. If
they do buy this house we shall
be able to take a short cut acruss
country and thus by-pass the
town — an advantage in these
days of congested travelling
through narrow streets. But Mil-,
ton is growing fast. Il is soon
.lo be the site of a two -million
dollar building — a new home
for the Deaf and Dumb.
A lovely pot of hyacinths was
left on our doorstep while we
were away — and we have not
yet discovered the donor. Part-
ner was downstairs and didn't
hear- the bell ring.
Some Advice For
Heart Sufferers
"What the heart patient needs,"
the American Heart Association
said last week, "is fewer don'ts
and more advice on .what he
can do," Condition vary with
every patient, and the doctor
must supervise each life pattern.
Generally these common - sense
ruly apply:
1—If you are overweight, re-
duce, but keep to a balanced diet
of proteins, carbohydrates, fats,
and fruit.
2—Exercise moderately; it im-
proves circulation and aids di-
gestion. Unless your doctor or-
ders otherwise, you may smoke.
Alcohol— highballs usually are
allowed Instead of cocktails.
3—A heart attack does not
mean an end to a normal sex
life. The doctor, of course, must
advise each patient when sex
relations can be resumed.
4.. ---Whether the patient can
go back to his old job, and how
soon, depends on the severity of
the attack and the job's de-
mands. Generally, however, he
can return to his same work in
three to six months,
5—Stress is a critical factor.
But don't slow down to an in-
valid's pace; that may be as
frustrating as overactivity.

Q. Are correspondence cardi
In good taste?
A, Yes; they are very popular
and in good taste for the short,
informal kind of note, It is be-
coming more and more custom-
ary for men and women to ustt
these cards, However, the,
should be used for strictly in.
formal correspondence,
Q. Should all the women bi
served first at the dining table
where men ' and women are
seated alternately?
A, This would be a footfall
waste of time. The guests should
be served in regular sequence,
whether man or woman.
Q. If someone begins a joky
you have already heard, should
you stop him?
A. If you are a member of s
group, it would be discourteous
to others who may not have
previously heard the story. If,
however, you are the sole ifs-
tener, it is quite all right to say
you have already heard the joke
Q. Do you think it necessary
to have the approved "salad
forks," or do the medium-slzed
regular forks serve the same
purpose?
A, One may provide any shape
or size of fork one wishes. The
medium-sized is quite in good
taste.

home near Nibbiaia, Italy. She wanted the bridge because the waters of the stream rise so
high she was often unable to wade across and had to make a four -mile detour to get to
school. Marisa got her bridge to school and also one to America, when Colombia Pictures,
who paid for her bridge in Italy, invited her to a Washington premiere of its film, "Tho
Bridge on the River Kwai", as a guest of the American Field Service, She holds a model of
the bridge in the filo agenst the background, appropriately enough, of New Yurk's Queens-
boro Bridge.
He Was "Father
Of The Blues"
When W, C. Handy, composer
of the "St. Louis Blues", was
thinking of a career, his minister
father in Alabama told him: "I'd
rather follow you to the grave
than see you become a musi-
edan," But the syncopation of life
around him pounded harder in
his ears than did his father's
warning. He immersed himself
In the • Negro folk music of
hunger and hilarity as he 'wand-
ered over the South, working as
a laborer and playing his trum-
pet in honky-tonk bands,
Out of work in St, Louis,
Handy slept on the riverfront
and knew the winter cold after
"the evenin' sun" went down,
One night he' heard two lovers
quarreling ."A readheaded wo-
man done made a fool out of
me," the man pleaded, He heard
a woman sob: "My man's got a
heart like a rock cast into the
sea." From such snatches of the
Negro's rueful tragedies he wrote
more than 60 songs, many of
which,are included in the movie
'version of his life (Nat "King"
Cole plays Handy) which opened
recently, Of all Handy's tunes,
though, the greatest was born
when he lifted his haunting
memory into the haunting "St,
Louis Blues". That was in 1914
and its tough poetic realism
powerfully molded the new era
of the Blues.
With the fabulous success of
the "St. Louis Blues", HIandy
founded his own publishing firm
In New York and built the repu-
tation that became the title of
his autobiography and, after his
death at 84 from pneumonia re-
cently in New York, his epitaph:
"Father of the Blues."

Newspaper Sold
For Record Price
For the highest price ever
paid for a single newspaper
roperty — an astronomical
425,5 million — a syndicate lust
month bought Canada's biggest
Md brassiest newspaper , The
Toronto Star.
The purchasers, appropriately,
were the trustees of the estate
of Joseph E. (Holy Joe) Atkin-
son. It was Holy Joe — so nick-
named because he stood four
square f o r Methodism a n cl
against alcohol — who made the
prosperous Star what it is today.
Orphaned at 14; Holy Joe be-
gan' reading books at 22, and
rose to be managing editor of
The Montreal Herald ten years
later. He hitched his future to
The Star in 1899, when a group
of Canadian Liberals bought it
for $32,000. The Star then had
a circulation of 7,000. To persu-
ade Atkinson to run it, the new
owners promised him first crack
e t any stock they decided to sell,
By 1916, Holy Joe owned
over half the stock and had
launched The Weekly Star. By
3929, The Star papers were do-
ing well enough, to move into
their own $4,5 million, 23 -story
skyscraper,
Holy Joe ruled The Star -Daily
and Weekly — with a stern and
'vigorous hand. Bone-dry, The
Star turned down advertisements
that mentioned cocktail lounges.
Holy Joe also kept it militantly
Liberal, Often at war with con-
eervative advertisers, he worked
overtime to woo news readers.
The Star became what one
writer called "the greatest three -
tent show on earth." Bossed by
Holy Joe's hard -driving son-in-
law, Harry Comfort Hindmarsh,
The Star's editors jazzed up its
pages, promoted stunts, and dis-
patched reporters on missions of
FAREWELL SOLO—Charles (Cootie) Williams plays W. C. Handy's
favorite hymn, "Holy City", at the composer's funeral in New
York. More than 150,000 persons lined the streets of Harlem to
pay their last tribute to the "father of the blues". Handy, 84,
died of pneumonia.
derring-do. One reporter was
Ernest Hemingway — who quit,
Hindmarsh later said, becau3e
"he got too big for his breeches."
Better known for its enter-
prise than for its accuracy, The
Star hired tugboats and even
trains to bring back the news,
Hindmarsh once sent thirteen
reporters to tip over in a canoe
in an icy lake so a Star photog•
rapher could reconstruct a fatal
accident,
When Holy Joe Atkinson died
in 1948, worth an estimated $65
million, The Star noted his pass-
ing in true Star style with 127
stories that filled 75 columns.
Holy Joe left the newspaper
to the Atkinson Foundation, a
charitable institution. But Tories,
charging he had evaded "mil -
'.ions" in inheritance taxes, push-
ed through a law requiring the
trust to sell it.
Last month, the Ontario Su-
preme Court approved a deal
by which the five trustees them-
selves became the buyers, along
with The Star's young associate
city editor, Harry A. Hindmarsh
Tson of the paper's longtime
editorial boss, who died in 1956).
Banded together as the Haw-
thorn Publishing Co., the new
owners took over the Daily (cir-
culation: 378,524), the Weekly
(circulation: 931,654), and the
paper's skyscraper. They pate'
$19,5 million cash and assumed
$6 million in obligations.
Head man, under the new set-
up, is Holy Joe's son, Joseph S.
Atkinson, An unassuming busi-
ness executive who rarely dab-
bles in editorial matters, young
Joe, now 53, last week planned
no major changes, "Our constant
guide," he said "will be the news
and editorial opinions established
by my father'."

CROSS PURPOSES
Most puzzled town in England
in recent years was Shrewsbury,
where posters 10 feet high were
put up urging citizens to use the
pedestrian crossings — but there
were no pedestrian crossings in
Shrewsbury.
BAILED OUT AT 650 MPH—Despite his broken bones, test pilot
Leo J. Colapietrio, 34, manages to smile from his hospital bed.
Colapietro cracked . two vertebrae, dislocated his shoulder,
fractured his pelvis, and broke his right arm In two places when
he bailed out of his uncontrollable Douglas F4 -D Skyray that was
traveling at a speed of 650 mph. Colapetrio landed in the
Pacific and was picked up about 45 minutes later by a life-
guard launch.

year -old Leslie Pearson covers

Democracy
And Teeth
There are certain good people
who would compel us all to take
a fluoride in our drinking water
whether we want it or not. What
is more, they will not even trust
us to decide whether we want
it or not.
Their purpose is so excellent—
a reduction in tooth decay —
that we shall seem most ungraci-
ous to object, But object we
shall, because we want to retain
some shreds of decision in this
increasingly paternalistic society.
The Legislature is mulling a
bill to require the approval of
the citizens by referendum be-
fore any city or town fluoridates
its water supply. The good peo-
ple who want' us to take flou-
rides denounce this as a device
to prevent it — which, no doubt,
it is. Many voters could be
easily panicked against fluorida-
tion by exaggerated charges of
its danger.
The New York Times, which
editorially opposed a referendum
in New York City, explained that
the lay public was not qualified
to pass judgment on this, a medi-
cal question.
We vigorously dissent and de-
mand the right of the electorate
to be wrong on occasion.
In this campaign to force fluo-
rides on every American, willing
or not, the organized medical and
dental professions have adopted
a most un wonted and unscien-
tific air of complete certitude
about the safety and usefulness
of mass administration of this
drug. Where else have these
professional organizations shown
such dogmatism? Not in the re-
lationship between smoking and
lung cancer, not on the role of
fats in arteriosclerosis, not in
the significance of other factors
in tooth decay. Just in fluorides
in water supplies they say this
is it, and no doubt of it,
We don't believe they believe
it's that certain, and we charge
they are attempting to master-
mind the American people into
a particular regimen, We charge

THUMB
Few birds are really destruc-
tive in the gardens, Most of thein
do far more good than har''n.
They will help keep down bugs
and eat weed seeds, and they
are beautiful and Interesting to
have around. Shrubs and trees,
bird houses, feeding stations and
watering or bathing pools, all
will help to bring wrens and
orioles and robins. But we can
do more than this./ There are
certain bright flowers that have
a special appeal for humming
birds. There are all sorts of
shrubs with bright and edible
fruit or seeds that will invite
cardinals, There are others that
are particularly attractive for
the goldfinch. It pays well to
study the special likes of the
birds, to plant things that will
produce food and shelter in
winter as well as insummer.
MOST FROM VEGETABLES
With a little planning and re-
search with a good Canadian
seed catalogue it is amazing the
volume and variety of vegetables
one can get out of•even a tiny
piece of Land, and of course any
vegetable from the garden, right
at the door, tastes entirely dif-
ferent from any that we can
buy.
For the very earliest crops we
depend on permanent perennial
types, things like asparagus,
perennial onions, parsnips left
in the ground all winter and so
on, These will be ready .for the
table almost within a few weeks
after the snow has gone.
As soon as the soil is fit to
work we plant lettuce and radish
and onion sets which only take
a fortnight or so to be ready
for salads. Also sown early but
not ready for eating quite as
soon will be carrots, beets, peas,
then a little later, after danger
of frost is over, beans, corn, to-
matoes, cucumbers, melons and
what ever we fancy.
Most of this stuff, if necessary,
, can be crowded together in rows
12 to 18 inches apart. Space can
also be saved by growing the big
things like corn and staked to-
matoes along the fence rows.
Then to make sure the vegetable
garden keens on producing we
make two or three sowings of
each vegetable from two to three
weeks apart and we also use
early, medium and late sorts,
In most parts of Canada one
can go on sowing carrots, beets,
lettuce, beans and corn right ap
to the first part of July and still
be sure of getting a crop• By
using different varieties and sow-
ing a little and often rath$r than
all at once, the smart gardener
will have something ready for
use at'all times from early spring
until late fall.
EASIER AND FASTER
Compared with most other
hobbies or recreations, equip-
' ment costs for gardening are
trivial. If necessary we can get
along with little more than a
rake and a spade. But a few
other special tools won't cost
much and they will make things
easier and more interesting.
For stirring up the soil and
thinning and killing wegds, for
instance, there are several types
and sizes of hand cultivators.
These range from little to ones
two pronged things 10 to 12
inches long and wheel hoes which
we push through the larger gar-
dens. It is well to have two or
three cultivators of various sizes
for working around plants and
rows of different sizes. Then
there are such things as dutch
hoes fon wholesale weeding and
for cultivation under bushes and
spreading plants, and single
bladed affairs f o r making
trenches for seeds and bulbs.
Except for the very small tools,
it is advisable to get all these
,kings, as well as rakes, hoes and
so on, with long handles. These
save stooping.
In fair sized suburban gardens
one would be well advised to
investigate power tools. Garden
tractors and power lawn mowers
are not expct,sive and with rea-
sonable care they will last for
years. And as for getting the
tedious work done in a hurry,
one can cultivate a vegetable
garden and cut a lawn at !mit
five times as fast with power as
by hand. Don't make the mistake
of getting bigger tractors or
mowers than you really need.
The smaller ' sizes are much
easier to handle on the turns.
they have failed to offer the
people a fair statement of the
medical pros and cons so the
people can decide for them-
selves,
And if they doubt the Ameri-
can people will decide right, we
would reply that that is the
people's business.
The Issue we want to make
very clear is that fluoridation is
being passed along to us on a
pappa - knows - best basis, We
think most people want to be
able to have something to say
about it themselves. — Boston

Pity Those Poor
Baseball Slaves!
The longer you watch big
league baseball, the more con-
vinced you become that certain
phases of the game are sadly
negected.
It was encouraging, therefore,
to learn recently that the Cleve-
land Indians are letting Harri-
son Dillard,' the former Olympic
hurdler and sprinter, teach their
ball players how to run.
Speed is important all over a
hall field, but what the Indians
no doubt hope comes out of Dil•
lard's teachings is more intelli-
gent and faster work nn the
bases,
Perhaps no fundamental on
the major agenda is as neglected
as base running and certainly
the chief offenders are pitchers,
who throw away a flock of
games annually because they ;et
lazy and dumb once they get on
base.
Even pitchers who can make
good time running straight ahead
get all tangled up when trying
to go from first to third in the
midst of a rally.
If Dillard gets results in the
Cleveland camp, look for ethers
to follow suit.
