Intimate Message
From Trinidad
Simply put, the people of this
green island just off the north
eoast of South America are
'harming. In the classic man-
ner of newsmen I've been inter-
viewing taxi drivers regularly
-- Indians and Negroes as it
happened. They have a wry
iense of humor and are uni-
formly articulate on all aspects
of politics,
Trinidadians are a gentle
people with a quiet dignity. This
a happy time for them as
Princess Margaret has been vis-
iting here, and another step has
been taken with the inaugura-
tion of the legislature of the
West Indies Federation. Bunting
abounds. Flags of the nation -
lo -be sprout from every window
hi the business district — an
orange sun against a field. of
wavy white lines across blue.
(The sun and the sea dominate
the life and character of the ten
Islands that make up the fed-
eration.)
What is inescapable to the eye
as you travel through Port of
Spain are the people — Indians,
Chinese, and Negro. Trinidad
bas much in common with Ha-
waii — the same polyglot so-
siety with racial lines blurred.
idac, my favorite taxi driver,
puts it this way: "The only race
we don't have are Eskimos."
Driving from the airport, after
helping to welcome Princess
irlargaret, we passed goats nib-
bling at the edge of the road,
tethered cattle blinking in the
brigh sun, dark faces under
spreading straw hats, and rick-
ety wagons drawn by tiny bur-
ros.
And the 'flowers and trees! In
Port of Spain purple bougainvil-
laea, red hibiscus, the white
"Lucky seed" as they call it,
snd trees — almond, poui, sea-
man, banana, wild plum. All of
this is set against plaster walls
of dark red, light green, or
White, The birds too have
Bereaming color — in the palm
outside my window they dis-
play their yellow breasts and
they whistle and cry rather than
ling. Flowers, trees, and birds
— like the dress of the people
in orange, red, and green -- are
heightened to the eye of a
Norteamericano.
Trinidadians also love vivid
sound, lots of it. The calypsos
and the steel bands made of oil
drums epitomize this. These sur-
prising songs with a shrewd
twist are turned out at the drop
of a palm leaf for you, and the
rhythm is inescapable — you
bounce in your chair almost im-
mediately.
I met this year's Calypso King.
Mighty Striker is the name
(really Percy Oblington); and
there are others just as famous
—Mighty Sparrow, Lord Su-
perior, and Attila the Hun. The
writing of the iivid and topical
jingles is almost a national sport
writes Robert R. Brunn in The
Christian Science Monitor.
It is hard to believe that the
music made from slices of oil
drums has such character and
precision. The instruments are
the "ping pong" or "piano pan"
which carries the melody; the
"time boom" or "guitar pan" for
the harmony; the bass, simply
the "boom"; and last are the
"kittle booms" for the rhythm.
For percussion? A metal bar
hanged against an old brake
tiruml Joy certainly reigns un-
ienfined.
London must be delighted by
the stories that have been com-
`ag back from the Caribbean on
Trincess Margaret—with all the
,plor the covey of reporters has
leen able to dish up. As usual
rtribute is being made to the
oyal Family merely by the fact
W blanket coverage of every de-
tail of the Princess's movements.
When you see what care and
diligence are taken to give Brit-
ish readers • the mniutine, you
conclude that millions must be
fascinated.
Every detail of the dress she
wore when she arrived was duly
reported (red and white flower -
petal hat, pink and white chiffon
dress, white gloves, a double
strand of pearls, white handbag,
and open -toed white shoes), And
the reporters were avid to dis-
cover that her airplane com-
portment was decorated in pea-
cock blue and red. More, the
dining compartment was bright-
ened by orange lilies, pink roses,
and orchids,
To top it off Mighty Striker
composed a welcoming calypso
which chorused;
So now let's shout out, "Wel-
come Princess"; we are glad
To see you again here in
Trinidad.

A Village Weekly
In New York City
A country weekly in the heart
of New York City!
This is the distinction of The
Villager which has just cele-
brated its 25th anniversary and
whose founders, the late Walter
G. and Isabel Bryan, have had a
bronze plaque dedicated to them
in the Washington Square heart
of Greenwich Village, their
adopted community,
Natives of Fulton, Missouri,
and reared in a small Midwest-
ern town, this unusual brother -
sister team built up a valuable
newspaper property in a great
metropolis already served by
long-established and powerful
dailies on the theory that many
big city folk yearn for the neigh-
borliness and identity with com-
munity life they formerly knew
or wished they 'had known.
"Greenwich Village glories in
a personality that has stirred all
America," declared Louis H.
Solomon, president of the local
Chamber of Commerce, at the
dedication of the plaque.
He was referring to the lit-
erary men and artists who lived,
at various times, in the vicinity
of Washington Square — Wash-
ington Irving, Edgar Allan Poet
Henry James,Walt Whitman, 0.
Henry, Theodore Drelser, John
Singer Sargent, Vachel Lindsay,
Frank Norris, John Sloan, Wal-
ter Lippman, Edwin Arlington
Robinson, Edith Wharton, Edna
St. Vincent Millay, Thomas
Wolfe, William Dean Howells,
and Sherwood Anderson.
But there are others who hail
the community because it has
the same groups, clubs, and as-
sociations and the same com-
munity spirit found in thousands
of villages. from coast to coast.
Take, for instance, Curtis Roose-
velt, grandson of F. D. R,, once
known to the country as "Buz-
zle," who is currently Regional
Director of the Na4ional CItizens
Council for Better Schools and
a village resident. "I have been
very impressed by the thought-
ful. community spirit, ; he wrote
in the 25th anniversary edition
of The Villager. "When we are
no longer willing to stand -up
and fight if our community is
threatened, Greenwich Village
will cease fo be a community. It
will then be merely another
designation for a section of Man-
hattan."
On the platform at the plaque
dedication, besides the Chamber
of Commerce head, were the
counterparts of personages who
might have been gathered at any
similar .ceremony in the Green
Mountains of Vermont or the
plains of Nebraska. Speeches
were given by a leading Repub-
lican and Democrat Carmine
DeSapio of 37 Washington
Square, West who has had a
finger in picking some recent
presidential candidates; The chil-
dren's choir, like any other New
York Police Athletic League
choral group, was made up of
several races and nationalities.
All of which raises the ques-
tion: Does a newspaper make
the community or does a com-
munity, make a newspaper?
Those who worked with the
Bryans recall that they often
said: "The Villager succeeded
because of its good friends."
Their successors on the popes
say that the reason The Villages
has continued to be a prosperous'
and widely respected newspaper,
read far beyond the boundaries
of New York City, is largely due
to the firm foundations the Bry-
ans laid a quarter of a century
ago.
The foundations were, these
The Villager was to be a home
newspaper, without sensation-
alism and eschewing all that is
indecent and degrading to family
life and good community sola-
tions. Second, it was to practice
absolute honesty in all business
dealings and in all that appears
in its news and advertising col-
utnns. Finally, it fostered a quiet,
conservative, basically American
approach to all men and women.
regardless of race or creed, rank
or station, as simply neighbors,
writes Mary Hornaday in The
Christian Science Monitor.
Another characteristic of The
Villager has been its hominess,
or what Dr, Carroll V. Newsom,
president of New York Univer- •
sity, described at the dedication
as a "delightful flare for the
trifling but human detail." This
has gone hand-in-hand with the
coziness that typifies the Green-
wich Village community. Regu-
lar features of the paper are its
"Town Crier," detailing the ac-
tivities o! village residents, and
its "Scoopy Mewses" 'literary
column, originally by-lined by
the office cat and now signed by
"Scoopy III."
As for crusades, The Villager
has a "hot" one just now — so
"hot" in fact that sonic of its
anniversary writers turned their
pen to it instead of to reminis-
cences and congratulations. It
concerns the cutting of a through
traffic road across Washington
Square, to many "the ss mho! of
The Village."
It was just five yea's ago teat
the first of a series of batt:es
was waged to save the Georgian
houses on the north side Qf the
Square. Both the houses and the
Square are still there.
Wherever newspapermen gath-
er today, they mourn the advent
in America of the "one -news-
paper town." Today The Villager
has a competitor, the up-and-
coming arty Village Voice. From
a craft point of view, this should
mean a healthy situation for the
more venerable The Villager, a
unique American institution now
entering its second quarter-
century.

Hard Top -Big Top
Circus ,Bathe On
The great battle nt the circus
is on. It's a battle of the modern
.Hard Top versus the traditional
canvas Big Top.
Spring has come. And the
opening salvos of roaring circus
"atomic" cannons, with their hu-
man missiles, have boomed and
reverberated across the Iludson
River fur a month or more.
Now, as Ringling Bros. and
Barnum & Bailey move from
Madison Square Garden, on the
New York side of the river, to
Boston Garden, the Clyde! Beat-
ty tented circus leaves Palisades
Park, N.J., and prepares to in-
vade territories which the Great-
est Show on Earth has aban-
doned.
When in July, 1956, this show
folded its tents in Pittsburgh,
and John Ringling North tersely
announced that "the era of the
tented circus is over; It is a thing
of the past" -(and two or three
others closed) -many got the sad
and mistaken notion that circus
days had ended forever.
Not so. Today,, circus business
is going very well. About 30
shows are currently touring the
country -the roster about evenly
divided between the tented vari-
ety and those using permanent
arenas, colosseums, ball parks,
and fair grounds.
Indoors or out? A building or
a tent? Each has its points. To
those nostalgic parents who dote
on relating to wide-eyed young-
sters the thrills of watching cir-
cus trains roll in at dawn, the
unloading of the horses, wagons,
and elephants, and the trek to
the circus grounds where the
canvas Big Top was being erect-
ed -today's circus is "just not
circusy" any more.
But, those same parents also
could well decry tho replacing
of old -tithe vaudeville and the
"flickers" with night-club per-
formances, color and sound
movies, drive-ins, and television.
Time and progress bring many
changes. But tradition says the
show trust go on. And circuses
today are still the home of the
"real thing" -live shows where
there Is no film, or flimflam. CIr-
tuses provide one of the few
remaining phases of show busi-
ness by live performers.
Although the biggest circus
has moved indoors, there's still
the opportunity to see, hear -
and, yes, even smell - the ele-
phknts.
Today's circus business Is split
-half indoor and halt tented -
right down the middle on battle
lines which sharply divide in
the opinion of sponsors, publi-
cists, and the public. Many favor
one type of presentation; many
the other.
Those hailing the indoor cir-
cus point to the obvious advan-
tages of clean buildings, comfor-
table seating, and the indepen-
dence from the vagaries of the
weather. Advocates of the tented
circus still cling to tradition.
But history points out that the
very word circus, itself, stems
from the Latin, meaning 'round,'
end that it found its use in the
rings in hippodromes and the
Circus Maximus and the Circus
Flaminius-huge buildings erect-
ed in Rome before the Christian
Era,
Later, in England and France,
there were the ring -and -stage
amphitheaters of Philip Astly,
and others - roofed -over build-
ings erected in the early 1800's
The first American circuses
often were presented in snore or
less permanent structures or in
the open air, with at best a fence
or a temporary enclosure of can-
vas siding for protection and se-
clusion. Rain, wind, and hot sun
were hazards for audiences and
performers, alike, and the first
round -top tented show set out
In 1830, changing, at that time,
the whole course of American
circus history.
Today, there seems a tendency
toward swinging back to build-
ings. Circumstances forced mo -

mentous changes. Motorized
equipment replaced horses, and
some of the bigger shows travel-
led by train. But, railroad costs
also mounted tremendously -
for the Ringling show, up from
$150,000 in 1940 to more than
$500,000 by 1956 - forcing it to
close and to drastically reorga-
nize, writes Everett M. Smith in
The Christian Science Monitor.
Since the earliest days of cir-
cusing, size has been a premium.
Just how big is big? Today,
Ringling's is still by far "the
biggest" -so immense, in fact,
that it had experienced growing
difficulties in finding lots Large
enough to contain its "14 -acre
city in itself."
Housing and industrial devel-
opments, along with new subur-
ban shopping centers, forced the
show to move farther and far-
ther from railroad yards. Public
transportation to these show
grounds was not always avail-
able, and frequently there was
no parking space for circus -
goers' cars.
As these changes have taken
place, new construction in the
auditorium, stadium, and arena
field has continued at a rapid
pace. Municipalities are voting
bond Issues, architects are draw-
ing plans, and contractors are
pouring concrete In cities all
across the country.
Coliseums, gardens, and con-
vention halls are springing up
everywhere. All are large enough
for the growing list of automo-
bile, boat, and aviation shows,
for home-building, sportsmen's,
and ice shows, for hockey, bas-
ketball, rodeos, and -a three-ring
circus the size of Ringling's.
The traditional circus season,
from early spring to late fall,
also has been extended to an
all -year-round proposition. Even
the Clyde Beatty tented show,
which recently closed a month's
successful run at Palisades Park,
had arranged to heat its canvas
Big Top for the comfort of cus-
tomers.
And now, with Ringling's defi-
nitely an indoor circus, the
smaller tented' circuses have set
out determinedly to claim for
their own the areas once domi-
nated by "the big one."
Snow Dwarfs
Haunt The Alps
Mysterious dwarfs are report-
ed to be haunting the Alps, But
they do not inspire awe in the
Swiss peasants who live quietly
in the valleys below.
These dwarfs, whether hiding
in crevasses or sitting carefree
on the edge of precipices, are
credited with supernatural pow-
ers.
Holidaymakers may shudder in
fright when, on a hot summer
day, thunder suddenly bursts
upon the Alpine ranges, or, In
mid -winter, a violent snowstorm
rages. Yet the peasants are not
alarmed, believing that the ice
men are merely beating their
drums or dancing.
The dwarfs, they believe, are
graciously disposed towards all
honest men and women. But
wrongdoers have reason to stay
away from this lovely district.
A story, passed from family to
family and still retold with abso-
lute conviction, 'features a reck-
less young peasant who, living in
Rofental, fell in love with a girl
in the neighbouring valley of
Schalserthat.
Ile swore eternal fidelity to
her, but later, lured by riches,
transferred his atTections to a
wealthier girl. The crisis came
when the deserted sweetheart
niet her faithless lover and his
bride returning from their wed-
ding. They had to cross the
Niedrjock bridge on their way
back to the Rofen valley,
But even as the girl wept an
ice dwarf intervened, With a
loud crack, the bridge collapsed,
pitching the bridal pair into the
swirling torrent.
But this calamity gave the
broken-hearted girl no satisfac-
tion. and she died of grief.

TEXAS SHELL GAME -You might know a Texas hen would do it.
Linda Dallas, Texas Christian University student, compares a
giant egg with an average one. The big egg was laid by
a hen owned by W. L. Gatlin, of Grandview, Tex. It measures
81/2 inches around the middle, 10 Inches the long way and
weighs seven ounces. The smaller egg was rated "extra large"
by normal standards.

Systox, one of the more recent
chemicals tested by Science Ser-
vice, Canada Department of
Agriculture, for the control of
the green apple aphid in apple
orchards, appears to be highly
promising. J. A. Hall, of the Sim -
coo Science Service Laboratory,
reports that in two years of test-
ing, a single application of Sys-
tox gave excellent control
throughout the season. Other
materials such as Guthioti, Dia-
zinon, Malathion, Phosdrin and
Parathion, gave good Initial con-
trol but a second application was
lfrequently,needed to control mi-
grations of the green apple aphid
from other orchards.
•
Although the green apple
aphid attacks pear, wild crab,
hawthorn and possibly other re-
lated plants, it is most common
on apples. The insect occurs
throughout all of the apple
growing areas of North America
but is usually more abundant
and persistent in orchards where
pruning, fertilization and culti-
vation are practised to excess.
• • *
The green apple aphid infests
the leaves and tender shdots of
terminal twigs and water sprouts
causing the leaves to curl and
the shoots to become dwarfed.
Sooty fungus develops in the
honey dew secreted by the
aphids on the leaves and fruit.
Contamination with this sub-
stance itnparts an unsightly ap-
pearance to the fruits and it be-
comes unsaleable,
• • •
This aphid passes the winter
in the form of oval, black, shiny
eggs on the small twigs, espe-
cially around the buds. These
eggs hatch at the time buds be-
gin to break open in the spring.
Life cycles are short and several
generations occur each summer.
The peak infestations usually
occur during July, ,
• . .
The green apple aphid is the
most common aphid on apples. In
the past few years outbreaks
have become more frequent and
more persistent,

Fi. J. Maybet', !lead of the
Livestock Products Division of
the Canada Department of Agri-
culture, reports that the new
grade of beef "Canada Standard"
established last January is un-
dergoing active observation and
appraisal in the trade. Standard
is the quality of beef which fol-
lows Choice and Good. It comes
from young. steers and heifers
and is leaner than Choice or
Good,
• • •
Some retail chain stores In
Canada have expressed interest
in "Standard" beef and It seems
probable that beet in this grade
will appear in various places at
the retail level during the next
few months. The Department of
Defence Production and some
Institutional buyers are switch -
Ing to "Standard", to satisfy the
demand for young palatable beef
without too much fat.
With respect to consumer pref-
erence for certain types of beef,
it is interesting to note some of
the comments made at the recent
Annual Convention of the Ame-
rican National Cattlemen's Asso-
ciation, held recently in Okla-
homa City. The United States
Farm Journal reports that res-
taurant and chain store reprr
sentatives "pulled no punches"
in telling the cattlemen what the
public was looking for in the
way of beef.
• . •
"Isn't there some way you can
produce good -eating beef with-
out so much fat?" challenged
Larry Hilaire, president of the
National Restaurant Association.
e
"We're catering to the whims
of calorie -counting customers -
nmen as well as women," Hilaire
explained, "They abhor fat, and
the restaurant operators, who
serve more than 80 million meals
a day, are getting tired of pay-
ing for suet they have to leave
in the kitchen."
•
John A. Logan, president of
the National Association of Food
Chains, echoed Ililaire's plea.
"We have just completed a sur-
vey in which we interviewed
meat buyers for 52 companies
operating 8,700 supermarkets and
stores. Their No. 1 comment:
Ask cattlemen to produce beef
that eats well but has less waste
fat."
• •
During the first three months
of 1958 in Canada, the inspected'
slaughter of beef showed 22.6 per
cent Choice, 17.5 per cent Good
and 8.8 per cent Standard.
SAME SHADE •
A man had been complaining
that he had chosen a wet spell
for his holiday last year, when
a fried interrupted: " It can't
have been so bad - you came
back sunburned!"
"Sunburn, nothing," he re-
plied: "that was rust!"

You Yawn More
Than Grandmother
Believe it or not, ladies and
gentlemen, you're yawning more
often than your grandparents
did -but no one knows why,
That's the view of a team of
investigators who have been
checking up on the yawning
habits of men, women and chil-
dren, On the whole they think
the extra yawns are a good sign,
for yawning relaxes and re-
freshes you. It tones up the mus-
cles of the mouth, the chest and
the back.
Because he found the subject
of yawning fascinating, a United
States scientist made a film of
an attractive girl pretending to
yawn as she stretched herself
out comfortably on a settee. The
film was shown in slow motion
to thirty-five medical students.
The girl's fake yawn was so
realistic that twenty-five of the
students viewing the film in a
darkened room yawned fre-
quently while doing so. The
other ten reported that they
"felt like yawning."
There are few superstitions
about yawning, but the artist,
Val. C. Princep, R,A., tells of
one he noted when he went to
India to paint the Durbar, a
twenty-seven foot long picture
containing 150 portraits.
He was completing one of a
prince named Holkar when "he
suddenly got tired of sitting for
me and yawned. Immediately, all
the members of the court stand-
ing round snapped their fingers
to keep the devil from jumping
down His Highness's throat,'
Princep revealed.
I''AIR QUESTION
Pretty as a doii and just u
dumb, she floated through the
cocktail lounge with a fussy
poodle under her arm. She seat-
ed herself and, as a waiter pre-
pared to take her order, baby -
talked the dog into a state of
exasperation.
Trying to comfort the fidgeting
animal she cooed: "There, there,
now, Mama's itsy-bitsy. baby -
nobody's going to hurt 'oo."
The poodle settled after a
while, and the girl turned her
big eyes to meet the icy glare of
the waiter, who asked, courte-
ously, but bitingly: "Your first
dog, madam?"

`eLESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay Warrant
ILA,, B.D.
Living by God's Laws
Deuteronomy 6: 1.3; 11:18-21,
26-28,
Ilfemory Selection: H e a r, t7
Israel: The Lord our God is oM
Lord: and thou shalt love tbs!
Lord Thy God with all threat
heart, and will all thy soul, ant
with all thy Wright. Deuteronomy
6:4-5.
The ten commandments wens
regarded as of such importance
that the stone tablets on which,
they were written were stored lst
the ark in the Holy of Holies.
These commands form the bests
of the moral law. When Jesus
was asked by a lawyer whisk
was the great commandment,
He quoted from our memory
selection, adding a second like
commandment from Leviticus
19:18, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself." He said„
"On these two commandments
hang all the law and the pro-
phets." (Matthew 22:40), Only
as we receive the love of God In
our heart through the forsaking
of our sins and believing on
Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour,
can we properly observe the
moral law. We must be trans•
formed within before we can
keep the spirit of the law. The
adulterous look and the hating
of another are breaches of thl
law in the sight of God.
Israel was commanded to keap
God's commands constantly be:
fore them and thoroughly teach
them to the children, They were
a subject for conversation whits
travelling, sitting and eating.
Moreover, the lessons were re=
lnforced by the promise of a
blessing to those who obeyed
and the pronouncement of a
curse upon the disobedient.
It still is a fearful thing to
ignore God's law. Yet many
are doing it. The taking of God's
name in vain, dishonouring of
parents, stealing and lying ars
common sins. A third of all men
and a third of all women who
marry in the U.S. have been
married previously. Most of
them (96 per cent) have former
spouses still living. No wonder
that a third of the prescriptions
in U.S. a r e for tranquillizing
drugs. "Be not deceived; God be
not mocked: for whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also
reap. For he that soweth to his
flesh shall of the flesh reap cor-
ruption; but he that soweth to
the Spirit shall of the Spirit
reap life everlasting." Galatians
6:7, 8, It is vital to real happiness
in this life as well as in the life
to c o m e, to remember God'ts
commands and keep them.

11:isn't this been a wonderful
spring for forsythia? Every-
where you go there are lovely
bushes of golden bells. Big
bushes and little bushes — it
doesn't seem to make any dif-
ference — they are all in bloom,
even our own little shrubs,
transplanted last year from
Ginger Farm. Yesterday I was
at a grand old home which one
approached by a winding drive
banked on either side by bush
after bush of forsythia, spaced
between stately shade trees. It
was beautiful. The house, too,
was something to remember,
over a hundred years old and
positively steeped in history.
Until recently there was also a
small cottage on the property
and it was in this cottage where
Mazo de la Roche lived in re-
treat while writing the first of
her famous "Jalna" books. Now
the cottage has gone — de-
molished — because it stood in
the way of an expanding sub-
division. Our regular W.A. meet-
ing was being held at the old
house so that is how I happened
to be there. During the after -
norm there was a terrific wind;
trees were swaying, dust blow-
ing, but inside the house there
wasn't a draft anywhere and
not a sv;ndow rattled. Then I
came hcme and of course on my
way I passed hundreds of new,
ultra -modern homes, and do you
know thcre was hardly a house
that didn't have shingles lifting
in the wind. We could have done
without that high, drying wind
very nicely. Rain, that had been
predicted but didn't come, would
have been far more welcome.
Seeded fields and gardens need
rain so badly — to say nothing
of the wells. There has been lit-
tle growth of any kind in spite
of the few pleasantly warm
days we had. Or should 1 say
deceptively warm days? Any-
way about a week ago one of
our neighbours — a new Cana-
dian — was very busy setting
out geraniums, foliages and a
few other winter house plants.
Sha wouldn't believe me when
I told her she was taking an
awful chance on getting them
frozen; that old-timers, familiar
with the Canadian climate, al-
ways claim bedding plants
should not be set out until after
the 24th of May. Occasionally
we do get a spring without a
late frost but by and large the
old rule still seems to hold good.
Well, I am still pretty busy

The cabdriver turned around
and scowled. "Where ya say ,ya
wanna go?" he asked.
"Ebbetts Field,"
"Come on," the cabbie said,
"Iim trying to make a living.
Stop with the jokes."
Spring had come with a rush,
flooding the city with sunlight,
but on baseball's opening day
last week nobody went to Eb-
betts Field in Brooklyn. Outside,
along McKeever Place, the
Shanties harked Beer, Red Hot
Franks, were shut, The streets
around the ball park were de-
serted. On Bedford Avenue, the
street that sportscaster Red
Barber made famous as a land-
ing place for home runs, a
luncheonette had gone out of
business, Ebbetts Field, horn
1913, seemed about to go out of
business, too.
"The field is in good shape,"
maid Babe Bamberger, a veteran
of 30 years in the Dodgers' or-
ganlzation, sitting in a musty
office underneath the left -field
stands. "There's a college game
litre Thursday. There are other
things coming up. Soccer games,
aneetings, things like that." Bam-
berger shook his head. "But it's
a terrible thing," he said, "seeing
the place like this."
He walked out to the field.
In right, the grass was trimmed
and spongy where Babe Herman
sometimes was struck on the
shoulder (but never on the head,
as legend puts it) fielding fly
balls for the Daffincss Boys of
the late 1920s. A patch of canvas

Up near the roof, two pigeons
suddenly took flight. The wind
stirred the grass, The flagpoles
were bare of bunting. "A ter-
rible thing," Hamberger repeat-
ed, and walked back into his

SHRINKING WORLD?—According to the sign post it's only a short ride from New York to Boston,
but here's the catch, the picture was made in England. This New York is a tiny hamlet
situated some 10 miles from a silghtly larger 'hamlet, Boston.
The* Clue Of The Tattered Rug
Sprawled • full length, care-
taker Eph Littlefield peered un-
der the door of Dr. John Web-
ster's laboratory. All he could
see was the doctor's feet moving
between the tabic and the furn-
ace. All he could hear was the
soft shuffle of the doctor's shoes
and water continuously flowing
from the tap.
But there was something else
, a faint but rather frighten-
ing smell . . . the pungent, re-
, pellent odour of burning flesh.
Eph had never known the
furnace to be lit before. But now
it was so hot that at one part
of the building it could be felt
through the wall. For a week Dr.
Webster had hardly emerged
from his rooms. And through all
that week another of the Har-
vard University professors, Dr.
George Parkman, had been
missing without trace,
In the distant year 1849 Har-
vard rocked with the riddle. At
noon on a foggy November day,
lean Dr. Parkman had been seen
walking rapidly towards the
medical college on his way to a
business appointment with some
person unknown . , . but it was
as if he had been whisked oft
the earth.
The police searched through
the college buildings. They drag-
ged a near -by river. They lit-
tered the town with reward bills.
Lured by a witness who thought
he had seen Dr. Parkman in the
neighbourhood, they scoured a
wheat warehouse and practically
emptied it of grain.
And all the while Dr. Web-
ster remained in his laboratory,
engrossed in his experiments.
When he emerged, locking the
door carefully behind him, a
tubby, beetle-browed little man
gazing blandly through steel -
rimmed spectacles, he was able
to throw very little light on
Parkman's movements.
But he admitted that he was
the business contact whom
Parkman had been going to see.
He had owed Parkman a large
sum of money,' he explained, and
had undertaken to repay it. At
noon on November 23rd Park -
man had duly called, had re-
ceived the money and had re-
ceipted the deed of mortgage.
With these disclosures Dr,
Webster returned to the labora-
tory, locked the doors behind
him and renewed his secret la-
bours. The police investigations
veered on a new tack, ffi' Dr.
Parkman had left Dr. Webster
with a large sum of money on
him it increased the probability
of murder with a motive of
thef t.
Only Eph Littlefield, the cure -
taker, was not so sure. . , .
Finding spare keys, Eph tried
them in the laboratory doors
and discovered they were bolted
as well as locked against him,
He watched Dr. Webster's heavy
inroads on the fuel store, noticed
the frequent use of kindling,
constantly tried the warmth of
the wall *here the furnace
roared day and night.
What was happening in the
lab?• Eph was sure he would
solve the mystery one day when
the doctor was at lectures.
Climbing through a window high
in the wall of the laboratory, he
lowered himself gently. The fur-
nace was alight but Eph found
it was not a very large fire.
Yet some barrels of kindling
were missing. And there was
something else absent—a heavy
sledgehammer which Eph had
noticed standing in a ' corner
when he last cleaned the room.
On steps leading from the
room Eph's sharp eyes also spot-
ted stains. Putting his tongue
to the stains, he detected the
sharp sting of acid.
That night the furnace burned
warmer and Webster seemed to
work later into the night than
ever. The next day the police
had decided to launch a house-
to-house search, beginning at
the spot where Parkman had
last been seen — in Webster's
laboratory.
Webster himself unbolted the
door, opened cupboards and
storerooms, explained that the
furnace had been used to burn
dissection rubbish. The detec-
tives were satisfied.
But Eph was more puzzled
than ever that evening—the eve
of the Thanksgiving festival —
when he ran into Webster by
chance.
"Have you bought your
Thanksgiving turkey yet?" said
ROUND VIEW—This specacular view of New Y
been taken from a hole in the ground, is actu

this picture from the ground. The camera rota

about 420 degrees—and takes in about 200 de
repeats itself in one segment. Dr. Trachtman
in only 360 degrees.
ork's Rockefeller Center, which uppears to have
ally the product of a new camera which takes
by optometrist Dr. Eugene Trachtman, took
tes while making a picture. Using a 4 x 5 -inch
ter than a full circle on a horizontal plane—
grees on the vertical plane. Part of the picture
is working on the1camera so that it will take
Webster. "Go and huy one—and
charge it to me."
Till that moment Eph had al-
ways ranked the doctor as the
meanest medico in the world.
What lay behind this change of
heart? Scratching his head, Eph
tried to visualize every detail of
the scene earlier that day as
detectives searched the labora-
tory. There was one tiny detail
that had not seemed important
at the time.
Eph sighed with chagrin when
he realized that the forgotten de-
tail was even more unremark-
able than he imagined. It was
nothing more than a tattered old
rug, which he had not seen be-
fore, that covered part of the
floThor.
e next moment, his eyes
ablaze, Eph ran to tell his wife
of his discovery. Beneath the
laboratory was a vault which
had long been closed and sealed.
And with horror Eph remem-
bered that one day, months be-
fore, Dr. Webster had asked him
casually whether the vault was
in good repair.
What was worse, the only en-
trance was through the floor 'of
the laboratory by the trapdoor
Webster kept covered with a
rug.
Then Eph realized there was
another way in. He took spade,
pick and chisel, and tried to bur-
row his way through the solid
wall.
His wife kept watch but Eph
was interrupted so many times
that by the end of the day he
had moved only a few bricks.
Next day he made faster pro-
gress and finally the last stone
was moved.
Shining a light into the vault
Eph discerned the horror he had
always feared. The lamp glowed
on the severed legs and torso of
a man,
Dr. Webster was clapped into
jail within the hour. In a medi-
cal school, however, it was not
unprecedented to find a dismem-
bered corpse, and the police
knew they would face a tough
task in proving it to be that of
Dr. Parkman.
In the furnace were found
other grim relics—splinters of
charred bone, a fused and dam-
aged set of false teeth, Dr. Web-
ster had tried to ensure that no
vital clue to his crime was left.
Having thrown the severed
remains into the vault, he had
been slowly disposing of them.
He had got rid of the hands and
skull; but painstakingly the sci-
entists tried to -piece the other
fragments together.
By careful measurement they
could only say that the victim
had been of about Parkmnn's
height and weight,
But it was Eph Littlefield
who sucessfully wound up the
case. Hearing of the discovery
of the teeth he went to the local
dentist. And the dentist at once
recognized them as a set he had
made for Dr. Parkman.
The teeth still exactly fitted
the original mould in his posses-
sion. A deep irregularity on the
lower side of Dr. Parkman's jaw
had made the teeth difficult to
make but made then 'all the
more readily recognized.
Dr. Webster confessed to his
crime. The devil doctor had been
defeated by the dentist.

The guy fancied himself as a
hitter and he always cane up

0 er To The Editor"
(Brownies and Girl Guides)
Dear Editor.
Kindly pass the following suggestion
bn for Public interest, I do not want
to keep sticking my neck out but I
think the following should be giver,
every consideration and I believe the
Standard will back us up to the limit,
Due to the splendid co-operation of
the Legion end their committee the
boys and young men are being well
taken care of via Cubs and Scouts.
Th writer wants to know what altEut
the girls and young ladies, should they
not be given a helping hand.
! Is there any local Church or Organ-
ization that can find it convenient 'e
start a Brownie and Girl Guide move-
ment. If so it should be organized as
soon as possible, summer holidays are
coming up. These girls would appre-
ciate the benefit of such an organiza-
tion during their idle hours. There are
district Guide leaders who lvtould be
pleased to come and organize and ar-
range training. They are self support-
ing and only need some group to cisme
jiorward and give them an opening. I
feel sure the girls and their mothers
would back up such a movement.
