And a familar South Afri- can story says that if you fall into a river in the Karoo, you just get right up and dust your- self off — for there never is any water in it. Yet many a lone Karoo farmer would live nowhere else on earth. And there are breath - catching flashes of beauty to its harshness, as sunsets when a sky, listless blue by day, ex- plodes into crimson, and the flaming orb of the setting sun ]eaves great streaks of magni- ficent red,, yellow, and purple against the first stars in the west. But if dawn and dusk soften the hard lines of the Karoo, there seems Iittle romantic about it, if you see it for the first time in the glaring heat of full day, Mile after dusty mile, the sera w n y, knee-high scrub stretches away, montonous and arid as Arizona always sounds to one who has never been there. But that is perhaps a dangerous comparison, for Arizonians we have met have been doggedly, and probably justifiably, proud of their state. One of them, an American consular official in Africa, used to dispatch maps of the United States to his friends, depicting Arizona as a huge centrepiece, with the other states of the Union attached minutely around its edges. Be that as it may, there is a dash of the jaunty, early Ame- rican West about the Karoo. There are rickety little hamlets, dust -laden and baking, their corrugated iron roofs glinting in the sun. In some of them there is a railway station — with never a train in sight — and the in- evitable, slowly twirling alumin- um wind -pump sucking water from a hidden well, and perhaps in the background the put -put - put of an electricity generator. Sometimes, if you half close your eyes, you can almost imag- ine Roy Rogers or some other cowboy hero swaggering though a pair of swinging doors and trotting grandly away on his horse, But when you open your eyes, what you see is a late-pnodel American car flaunting its ,chro- mium in front of you; for though the Karoo may look stark,' behind this starkness there is wealth enough for some. These are the wool farmers breeding huge flocks of rugged sheep originating from Holland, Australia, Spain, and Britain, which somehow thrive in the Karoo. During the years after World War II, a wool boom sent the value of the South African wool clip soaring from about $39,000,- 000 a year to nearly $280,000,000 a year. At least one farmer col- lected a check for more than $500,000 for one year's product, writes John Hughes in The Christian Science Monitor. And so, beside the old wagon trails which still leave their tracks in places, there now runs a tarred national highway. Though the motorist still needs to work out his gasoline points, and take along a can of water in case his radiator should boil, much of the drama of a trek across the Karoo has vanished, However; there is still oppor- tunity for individual initiative, as was once spectacularly proved by an English news- paperman with whom I traveled across the Karoo, Out of gas, but with an emergency supply pro- cured from some distance away, he found he could not pour from the can into the gasoline tank of his American automobile without the aid of a funnel, Un - distressed he unloaded . all his luggage and from the bottom of the car trunk produced an old dusty cow's horn, This, he an- nounced, he had been saving for some months for just such an occasion. Proudly he sheared off its end with a pocket-knife, and poured the gasoline through the horn in triumph, Such adventures build up something of a cameraderie among motorists along the Ka- roo road and a passing driver will very likely give you a friendly toot -toot for company, and will certainly stop to help if you appear in trouble. Some motorists prefer to travel at night to avoid the heat of day and this is not altogether a lonely trip. For if little moves there in the daytime, a variety of shapes peer into the car's headlightse at night. A pair of bright eyes — now here, now gone — could belong to a rabbit, a spring-bok per- haps, or a donkey or baboon, maybe even a prowling leopard! Like rnuch of the African con- tinent, the Karoo is a land of contrast and though some of it gets but a trace of rain in a year, other parts know savage floods. Some farmers recall storms which piled hail -stones three feet deep upon the veld. Few know where the Karoo proper ends, for after the coastal or Little Karoo, it becomes the Great or Central Karoo, of per- haps 30,000 square miles. Then it merges gradually . into South Africa's main watershed, the Northern Karoo or big veld, en- circled by a great escarpment of mountain ranges running from Namaqualand in the west to the Drakensberg Mountains of Natal in the east. This total area is probably about 100,000 square miles. Although at first sight the Karoo is dry and uninviting, there are little oases of love- lIness where a farmer has tap- ped a hidden spring or well to transform a few acres about his house into a lush garden of greenery with sunken pools, as well as using the water for his stock, There is also contrast between the' little Karoo hamlets and an expanding town such as Beau- fort West, unofficial capital of the Karoo. In the former, visiting motor- ists are still an item of interests to the little colored boys who gather about yourcar, hitching their thumbs through their sus- penders •and regarding you gravely until you . descend and greet them. Then they become coy, rubbing one bare foot upon another, drawing patterns in the dirt with their toes, tucking their heads almost under their arms, and going through all manner of shy and embarrassed gyrations, until with a little gig- gle or two they at last break into one of those trusting, wide- mouthed smiles like sudden dawn after night, Here in Beaufort West, the motorist is no longer an oddity and the town is growing fast. There are big bright gas stations, and signs for "Snacks," and an American-style motel with — wonder of wonders after a day in the Karoo — a swimrning pool for its guests. But however fast the town grows beyond its limitis it is making only the slightest dent on the vastness of the Karoo. And though men have learned to live off the Karoo, some of them profitably, it is doubtful whether they will ever change its unique and lonely grandeur, SLIGHT OF HAND—Just a drop In Chihuahua puppy is simply too t he weighed but two ounces at m'ghly n:mc—Pablo Romando the bucket himself, this sleepy ired to take his bottle.

Do you think that means something " "Either he's in love with you or he hasn't got a television set." Southern Tragedy , Late one afternoon recently at the Almacen Vida (Life Depart- ment Store) in Bogota, Colom- bia, Christmas shoppers packed the aisles. In the long, narrow store, children clutched at toys, their mothers fingered the cloth- ing displays. Many customers stole a moment to admire the brightly lighted creche in the center of the main floor. Suddenly a short circuit flared in the colored lights of the Nativity scene. Flames, fed by the paper and straw in the manger of the Christ Child, leap- ed to counters piled high with flammable plastic toys. Sales- girls' skirts burst into flames. "The fire went up to the ceiling in a cloud of smoke," manager Alberto Mazeura said later, "Fuego!" someone shrieked — and the crowd panicked, Those in the front of the store broke out easily through the doors, smashed their way through show windows. People in the rear stormed the back stairs, found they led only to a blind mez- zanine, which quickly turned into a funeral pyre for masses of men, women and children, Many were trampled or suffo- cated in the trap between the flames and the rear wall, A critically injured 18 -year-old girl' was found• alive beneath a mass of bodies on the stairway. The manager and two employees battered the ceiling with chairs, finally knocked a hole in it and dragged out ten women. "Then we couldn't stand the heat any more and were forced to jump into the street," he said. About ten of the dead were children. A boy of 8 was found dead in a pool 'of water, his face burned away; he was 'still shielding a toy truck in his arms:. "A woman knelt as though in prayer beside the boy's body," said a fireman, "She was ,still alive but she died as I took her in my arms." Fireman Pedro Rodriguez worked his way with a hose to the corpse -littered stairway, then to two rear store- rooms, He found four charred bodies in one, In the other, "I. found nine or ten young women kneeling with their arms out- stretched they were burned to a crisp." Eighty-four Colombians died, 50 were injured, scores over- come by smoke. The loss of life was the largest on record. for a department -store fire. 'Presi- dent Alberto Lleras declared national mourning, Just How Much Are You Worth i If you calculated a man's value merely on the total aft waAi;, which the. chemical and other constituents in his body would fetch on the world market to- day, what do you think he'd be worth? Less than $30. Scientists have been telling us that, among other things, the average human body contains: Enough fat for seven bars of soap, Enough carbon for 9,000 lead pencils, Enough phosphorus to make 2,200 match heads, Enough lime to whitewash a chicken coop. Enough iron to •make two medium-sized nails. But here's some more cheering news. To -day, a good human skeleton of the kind needed by medical authorities for research purposes is worth between $120 and $135. Talking of bones, how is It that we are born with 270 but die with only 206? What happens to the missing sixty-four? They join with other bones during our infancy, say physiologists. That great expert, Sir Arthur Keith, said that only if scientific investigation of thehuman body is continued for another 2,000 years shall we gain real know- ledge of it. Take the heart, for instance, which weighs only eight or nine ounces, but pumps 2,500 gallons of blood in twenty-four 'hours and 55 million gallons in an " average lifetime, "If one man's heart -beats in a single day could be concentrated into one huge throb of vital power, it would be sufficient to hurl a ton of iron over 100 feet into the air," a heart specialist calculates.

A COLD LUNCH—Thanks to their "buffalo robes,' this pair of bison 'at. Fort Hays (Kan.) State Park doesn't mind recent record snows.

I dcn't subscribe to this -I like the snow, Of coerse, you have to realize that I'm talking about country snow -six inches will tie up Boston, but two feet doesn't bother us a bit. How- ever, there has developed a change, and �It isn't hard to find the Mal..er•who detests the snow. It was once welcomed as an agreeable device. The sweetness of adversity is there with snow, Or was, Fore- most was its use as an insulator, piling up against the house and making the floors warm again. The coldest weather was always between freeze-up and snow, when the foundatidns were ex- posed, You could even put saw- dust or boughs around, but the wind would work in. Then would come the first snow and the floors would be congenial, and Aunt Midge would say, "Good, my- feet are warm again!" Pa or the hired man would circle the house, tossing loose snow 'against the building. It made all the difference. There came, with snow, a dif- ference in the feel of the out- doors, too. The temperature could be the same one day as another, but with snow on the ground it felt warmer, There was a saying that snow would take the chill out of the air, and somehow it did change our perceptions of it. You could pull on your long- legged ones, and dig out the mit- tens, and tie your hat 'on with a scarf, but there would be a deep chill until it snowed. It would seem, at once, more bearable. There was a change in the feel of the ground. The frozen door - yard was muffled, and your feet didn't clunk down so hard. This was much better, I guess the thing was that we didn't fight snow so much, We used to clean off the doorsteps and flx a place so the barn door would swing, and, trim around the mailbox, but we didn't shovel paths so much. We were told the frost would work into the ground if we cleaned the driveway, and frost all winter meant deep mud all spring, We hated mud more than snow.

Commence last trip to town before snow, when the road was a welter of frozen logging ruts, and your buggy wheels bounced around on thein until your teeth all came loose in your head and your ears flopped up and down, Part of the punishment came because the horse kept ranging around to find some place he could step with- out jarring his shoulders loose, and he couldn't, After a trip like that, snow would fall and the ruts would all get filled in smooth, and the runners would pack things down. You could glide all the way to town without a twitch. There may have been something de- lightful in the clink of bells, and the cold brisk air, and such, but I never liked sleighing except that the road was always smooth- er. So we were glad to see the snow. Sliding has pretty much gone out, so nobody nowadays is glad to see snow for that reason. We all had double -runners, some- times called bobsleds in this re- gion, and the long hills were ours to coast on. People put their cars "up" for the winter, then. There were teams and sleighs on the roads, tbut they didn't sneak up on us, and they had some respect for sliding young- sters. There was no sand or salt - the teamsters would have lynched anybody who put sand on a road - and there were times the dragging feet of a whole sled load couldn't slow us down for the turn. We'd pile up and lug the pieces home. Skiing has changed, too, We had skis, some of which we made from staves, and some of which we bought. We had no harnesses on them, no skiboots, no poles, no accredited appurtenances. We had no lifts, huts, and clubs, There was no fee. It wasn't a high so- ciety sport, with stock -holders. We didn't make up a party and "go" somewhere to ski, I think we liked the toboggan better, anyway, but best of all was the wide-runnered hand shark and the long slides on the geography's crust, Crust sliding was best, anyway you looked at it. I guess all the reasons we like's to see snow are gone, real- ly. Snow brought the family closer, and the house was cozier. Where snow was a vehicle, it is now an expense. Snow,was pret- ty when it fell, and the sun came up in the morning, but now if it isn't pushed away in the morn- ing the automobiles can't go by. Now, more andmore, comes the one who says, "Oh, I hate to see the snoW!" I don't, I like it. If it doesn't contribute anything to my newer experiences, I'm grateful to it for past favors. -- By'John'Gould in The Christian Science Monitor. The Demon Smoke Throughout Britain next month, newspapers will begin carrying classified ads addressed to the thousands of Englishmen .who have tried without conspI. cuous success to give up tobacco for one reason or another, Those who read the ads will find that they areinvited to ' attend weekly meetings in rented halls, where an organization with the unalliterative name "Smokers Anonymous" will offer them faith and fellowship in their daily battle against the demon, Founded recently by fifteen London doctors and social work- ers, the group, according to Dr. Wilfred Lester, has the follow- ing aim: "Smoking is a most serious sort of drug addiction, and with a real psychological basis. We all regress to the need for the breast, and cigarettes provide a substitute, , . If some- one says he has to smoke, we tell him that 25 per cent of the world doesn't smoke If they can do it, why can't he?"

"Can the Family Farm Sur- vive?" is the challenging title of an article by Jared Van Wagenen, Jr. in a recent issue of The Christian Science Moni- tor. I think you'll be interested in it, and with that fine paper's permission I'm passing It along. • • • Somewhere in the writings of James Russell Lowell there is a bit of autobiography in which he tells how in his boyhood he knew a very old man, one who in his far-off youth had talked with a certain ancient man who told tales of how he with his own eyes had seen the witches hung oh Salem Hill. Then Lowell proceeds to moralize con- cerning how just one long life- time bridged the gulf between scenes, such as those and the r :cure' and tolerant:' New " Eng- land civilization of his time. In much the same, although in less dramatic, fashion I may say that in my boyhood years I was casually familiar with eld- erly men who had grown up here and whose youthful mem- ,orirs ran back and linked with our earliest pioneers -men who had fought at Lexington and Bunker Hill and marched with Sullivan's army. Then after the war was done they joined them- selves to that New England wave of emigration which (most commonly in ox carts or cover- ed wagons) swarmed westward across the Hudson to lay in the tangled wilderness of central and western New York the foun- dation of an enduring civiliza- tion. One of these Argonauts was my great-grandfather, and as the present head of a farm fam- ily which has tilled the same acres since 1800, it seems proper for me to inquire if the same type of life on the land we have always known can continue in this assembly -line era. If we judge by analogy and the• remains of a forgotten rural industrial life which lies all about us, the answer is an em- phatic "No." New York State alone has literally t housands- far in excess of ten thousands - of abandoned millsites and their accompanying milldams, testi- mony to the very diversified in- dustrial life of the countryside which reached its full flowering in the years before the Civil War. * Most of our strictly rural communities attained their max- imum population at or about the census of 1800.. In much of rural ' New England the high-water mark was earlier, Indeed there are no • small number of New England townships which had more inhabitants at the first census in 1790 than have ever been reported .since. Of course the popular explanation for this is "farm abandonment." It is • true ,,that this has been a major factor itt the decline, although on the whole less important than the •di,lappearance of the jural handicrafts and the Industrial life of the community. Shrinking rural populations in the older regions of the country may be considered an almost universal phenomenon, but the extent to which this movement has progressed varies greatly with the locality, Perhaps there is no better field In which to study the problem than New York State. As every- one knows, measured by wealth or population or commerce -the criteria by which we usually compare one state with another -New York is undebatably the Empire State. Perhaps it is not so generally recognized that it is also agriculturally very im- portant. Among the states of the Union it stands only 17th in acreage, but it rates (varying somewhat with the particular year) sixth .or seventh • in the value of the agricultural produc- tion, (In '1957, it slipped badly, falling to 12th place.) • • • According to the definition established by the Federal Bu- reau of Census for 1950, it re- quires astonishingly little in the way of either area or argicul- tural activity to be classed as a farm. Officially any place of three or more acres is a farm if the value of agricultural prod- ucts, cxcluslve"of the home gar- den, is as much as $150.00. An even smaller acreage is so classi- fied if its production reaches $250.00. Fortunately we have for New York State fairly dependable data concerning the size of farms and number of farm fam- ilies for more than a full cen- tury. A contemplation of these figures lends small support for the popular thesis that the "fam- ily farm" is on the way out and that the future belongs to the consolidated, corporation -man- aged "big business' type of farm- ing, These are the figures for the average or median size of all farms reporting for the 100 years between 1850 and 1950. In 1850 the typical New York farm was made up of 112.1 acres. When another 25 years which included the Civil War had passed, the sze was 106.1. Twenty-five years later at the turn of the present century, it was 99.9 acres, As late as 1925 it stood at 102.1 acres. • In a word, there were 75 years when the medium size of New York farms did " not show change enough to even indicate any de- finite trend, However, a quarter of a cen- tury later in 1050 there was a somewhat different story, be- cause the median farm acreage had made a fairly steep increase and stood at 128.2. Evidently there was a new force abroad in the land. It seems plain that the progressive mechanization of farms, especially during the last dozen years, and the greatly increased capitalization required has forced the consolidation of many small farms, Even so, the ncreasing acreage of surviving farms falls far short of being an economic revolution. The foregoing is concerned with the acreage of New York farms. When we come to con- sider the number of farms and. farm families, there is a very different story. By 1850 the state had been pretty generally occupied and cut up into farms, and the pi- oneer period was about done. Indeed the census of 1855 re- ported a larger total farm acre- age than has ever been found since, although the maximum number of farm families was not reached until 1875 when we had nearly a quarter of a million farms. From 1855 to 1900 the number of men who called themselves farmers held on bravely with only minor and inconclusive fluctuations. After the turn of the century the decline became unmistakable. By 1910 it had become steep and for the past 15 years it may be described by no lesser term than precipitate. Between 1900 and 1950 more than 100,000 farms disappeared from the assessors' rolls, • • • Now while statistics may not lie, they often require interpret- ing, and in this case the situa- tion is not as desperate as it might at first appear. True, the number of farms steadily grows less and some of this is due to the consolidation of farms under one management. Examples of this can be found in every rural community. However, such consolidation of farms is not the greatest rea- son for their declining number. The major factor Is actual land abandonment and farm extinc- tion. No lesser authority than the New York State Department of Conservation some years ago estimated that more than three million acres once classed as farm land had quietly again slipped back into the forest from which it had been wrested with such incredible lebor Our pioneering forebears of a century or two ago were a stout- hearted., land -hungry race who in their enthusiasm cleared, and after a fashion farmed, a great deal of land that ought always to have remained in forest. The passing years have shown "how greatly they were mistaken. Most of our so-called land abandonment is a movement that is all to the good. Certain- ly we want the "family farm" but we do not want it if it is too small or steep or stony or in- fertile that it cannot afford a reasonably full life for its oc- cupations. In an era when strange eco- nomic doctrines and heresies are abroad in the world, the land- owning farmer is a priceless asset for an orderly society. Give a man a hundred or two acres of decent land that he may call his own and at once he becomes a stout pillar of the es- tablished order. It may well be that we farm folk are in a way a somewhat dour and stubborn breed, In U.S. there remains a hard cote of some millions of men road to wealth but as a way of life. There is not convincing evidence that the "family farm" is on the way out. Rather, it will be a part of our civilization for all the foreseeable future. ll)WAY SCilOOl LESSON By Bev It. Barclay Warren B.A., B.II. Jesus Emphasizes the Cost of Greatness Mark 10:35.45 Memory Selection: Whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. Mark 10:44. When James and John asked for the chief places in the king- dom they were giving expression to the type of selfish ambition that the other teh disciples prob- ably possessed. Hence they were displeased with James and John. Were these two trying to get ahead of them? Self-seeking with hidden carnal motives is often the result of false self-evaluation. Carnal displeasure always re- sults from a discovery of maneu- vering for place, because others are desirous of the same recog- nition. Jesus showed the disciple's that the way of greatness is the way of service. It is the way of hap- piness, too. Olga Deterding, the twenty -eight-year-old daughter of a multi -millionaire oil king,. stopped at Dr. Albert Schweit- zer's mission station in Lamba- rene in French Equatorial Africa, when on a world tour. The plight of the lepers and the opportunity for service there caused her to give up sixty thousand dollars a year income, a villa with eleven servants, and a suite at the Ritz, to become a nurse at the colony. Dr. Magit, a visiting doctor from Beverly Hills, California, re- marked, "She has that satisfied look which comes from an inner happiness and no regrets." Noel Phillips, a 23 -year-old masonry contractor of Lawton, Oklahoma, ran the following ad in the newspaper: "Man or boy 18 to 23 years old, Must have court record, Prefer man who is on parole. Bring paper and apply in person ..." Mr. Phillips said when he was at the Englewood, Colorado, federal reformatory, he prayed on benched knees: "If I get out of here, I promise to help others like myself." The following day he was paroled. He has employed over 400 parolees or former convicts and bas helped many more by findin, them jobs elsewhere. He is find: ing haminess in serving others. ' he gree Hess of the Master - is best observed in His taking the towel at the Last Supper. The ' carnal Peter objects to Greatness stooping. Dr.. C. H. Zahniser, writing in Arnold's Commentary • speaking of the incident writes, "Someone has said, 'We are all fighting for the top in the church, but there are so few fighting for the towel'." How true! Betty Elliott, who is working among the very people who killed her husband with four other missionaries, writes, "I have a stronger conviction than ever before that the things of this world are pretty paltry in comparison with doing the will of God."

How Britons Rule The Waves Passengers riding channel steamers between Dover and Calais endure many rough pas- sages across the twenty storm- tossed miles that separate Eng- land and France.. However, in- stallation of a pneumatic break- water in Dover Harbour, de- signed to reduce wave heights in rough weather, makes ship handling easier and at least the start and conclusion of a trip more comfortable for both pas- sengers and crew. The pneumatic breakwater is 000PS—Mrs, Richard Vander Veer displays her design for a flag that incorporates a 49th star for Alaska, Unwittingly, she also anticipated statehood for Hawaii. Count the number of stat 3. a device which releases com- pressed air at the bottom of the sea from air distributors mould- ed from polythene, The com- pressed air rises to the surface intermittently in large bubbles, creating local turbulence in the water. This turbulence interrupts normal wave • action begause the air bubbles distort the harmonic action of oncoming waves. Thus regular wave motion is convert- ed into random turbulence. It has taken forty years to develop a satisfactory method of controlling waves. First attempts centred around creating a wall of air bubbles; however, the large amount of power required to generate a complete barrier proved prohibitively expensive. The breakwater consists of polythene air distributors mount- ed on strips of railroad track, forty - five feet long weighing ninety pounds a yard, which are stabilized on the sea-bed with two railroad ties. There are thirty-seven sections in the breakwater. Each air distributor is connected to a small under- water manifold on one of the ties with W' polythene pipe. The small, underwater manifolds are connected to a main manifold and six 500 c.f.m. air compressors, on shore, with 11/2" polythene pipe. The system, installed on a trial basis in September 1956, aims to reduce wave height by fifty percent, which corresponds to a loss of three quarters of the waves' original energy. This fifty percent reduction permits safe entry into the harbour in rough weather and facilitates ship handling at the jetties. The installation has been under ob- servation for two years and in that time no adverse effects due tosubmersion or weather have been detected. The strength and durability of the installation is further attested to by the fact that over 1,500 ships have steam- ed over this installation at an average of eight knots, with only ten feet of clearance at low tide, and no damage has resulted.— From esulted—From "Plastics Sphere." Will The Duke Ride An Elephant? India is preparing a warm welcome for the Duke of Edin- burgh when he goes there next year. He will arrive in New Delhi in January t6 -.attend the Indian science congress:land will be received with Statehonours. Later the Duke will tour centres of scientific and industrial in- terest, • Ono of the most . spectacular of all royal visits to -India was that made by the late King George V and Queen Mary. They went to meet the Princes of India at the Delhi Durbar of 1911. Queen Mary sat in a carriage beneath a great gold fan and gold and crimson umbrella held by Indian attendants. King George was on horseback, dress- ed in the uniform of a Field - Marshal. Many Indians expressed disap- pointment that the King did not ride on an elephant during the State procession that followed and hope that the Duke will amend matters. When the Princes came to pay homage to the royal visitors, some bowed over their swords, some threw earth on their heads, some spread out shawls over which to make obeisance. Drums crashed, guns were fired, the National Anthem was played and, wrote a reporter of 1911, "when the chief herald proclaimed the., King -Emperor's greeting, the great assemblage rose, swayed' for a few moments like a wide garden of multi- coloured flowers, then stiffened to attention.... The scene was most moving; ar•I m?eni icent." Only A Mote?? Mothers! You could he re- placed by a block of ‘vond cover- ed with spore ie rubber and heat- ed by a light bulb, This revelation was made re- cently to the American I'•yscho- logical Association by a pry. chologist named Harlow, of the University of Wisconsin Dr. Harlow set up two lake mothers; one as described, the other being made only burn wire screen. Both were warmed, both contained a gadget that gave milk. Subjects were a group of baby monkeys, One and all, the monkeys pre- ferred the mother they could cuddle up to, even when she didn't give milk and the wire mother did. Dr. Harlow takes this to indicate that a baby's love for his mother does not de- pend on the fact.that she feeds him — but rather because she supplies comfort.and security by contact. Johnny had been caught telling a fib. "How do you expect to get to Heaven?" asked his mother. The boy thought for a moment and then said: "Well, I'll just run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door till they say, 'For goodness sake, come in or stay out.' Then I')) go in."

AL") • RONICLES INGERFARM O�sadolts�s D C1a,eks For you it is all over; for us there are three more days to go. To Christmas, I mean, And we hope to the end of the deep freeze. My, but it's been a long cold spell. Ten below here for, four consecutive mornings—and the furnace pumping oil all the time. That didn't worry us too much ... we would have been more worried had it not been pumping. Sunday morning we saw a furnace repair truck at one of our neighbours. It was there quite a while and I hate to think of what that, or any other house would be like with' the furnace oft for a couple of hours. And it bothers us to think of old friends and neighbours`bn the various farms—at turkey- picking bees and how cold the pickers would be; of breaking ice on the creek and drawing. water for stock; of having to go to town for supplies and finding the car wouldn't start—and the nearest garage two or three miles away. And we remember other friends too who have a child in a hospital -school many miles away and they must make the long drive to get her ali in one day so that she may spend the, Christmas holidays with them. So it just seems impossible to sit back and be selfishly com- fortable when we know others have so many problems to con- tend with—many of which we know about from personal ex- perience in years gotle by. But now would you like to know something of our pre -holi- day arrangements, which natur- ally go back quite a few weeks. I was determined that somehow I would avoid as.fa� as possible that hectic "so -much -to-do" sort of feeling. So, early in Decem- ber I made my Christmas pud- dings—five of them, plus a small extra for sampling. Then I went to work on our Christmas cards and had most of them out of the way by the end of the second week, including a number of letters. And do you know, for the first time in years I enjoyed the job. I had time to took over the cards and pick out the ones I thought most suitable for those to whom they were sent. Daugh- ter thought I was crazy sending them so seen but I still think it was a good idea especially as I put cur new address on most of the cards. Not because 1 wanted to make sure of getting cards back but to save those who wished to send the trouble of hunting or inquiring our exact whereabouts. Christmas decora- tions we left'until a week before Christmas. We decided not to have a tree as we would be away on "the )31g Day." Instead we put a gay wreath on the front door and decorated the big liv- ing -roam window. This we did by using evergreens, Christmas trimmings and lights, For a table centre -piece I• used a fairly Targe aluminum tray, spread with cot. ton batting, sprinkled with small icicles, tiny coloured balls and fir cones. A bit of green here and there and a couple of rein-' deer nibbling at the shrubbery. At one corner of the tray I had a small Christmas tree in a red flowerpot trimmed with little coloured glass balls. It was really quite effective and being on a tray could be easily removed for table setting as it was too big for meal -time occasions. Even so, 1 was far from s..' Pied with our decorations. They Were pretty but a lot cf tcork and too much of a file ha:._ gteens dry out so quickly, Next year, all being well, we have other plans. This is the conclusion we have come to. The Christmas tree is a tradition. Children look for it and we do too. But as our grand- children mostly celebrate Christ- mas in their own homes we feel that all we now need is a sym- bol. So—no more evergreens in the house, dropping needles a week before and for two .weeks afterwards, making a lot of un- necessary work. Next. Christmas we'll have a. Christmas tree out- side, set into one of the planters in the front of the house and trimmed with twinkley' on -and - off lights. Indoors our decorations will be restricted to a gay centre- piece and a display of Christmas cards . those lovely, lovely cards! The result, we hope, will be just as effective but less tir- ing and far less hazardous. Or do I just think ,that because an outside tree will be Partner's_ job?! t An inside tree, except for putting it up, 1 look upon as my job, just as ,we naturally di- vide our small chores in work- ing . for our grandchildren. I do the sewing and knitting but in December Partner spent hours and hours making a barn for Dave and Eddie to put their "animals" in. There was a di- vision down the .centre to avoid arguments ,and sliding doors on each side to let the animals in and out. It was quite a barn. Put many were the exclamations I heard corning up from below stairs as Partner's stiff fingers worked with the tiny, headless, half-inch finishing nails! It was the firm's stag dance. The new cashier had chosen a very attractive partner. "By the way," he said, as they danced. "I'm glad our manager isn't here to -night. He's about the biggest ass I know." "Young man," snapped his partner angrily, "do you know who I am?" "Not the faintest idea." "Well, I'm the manager's wife," she said. "Do you know who I am?" asked the young man. µh}D:It "Thank goodness for that," he replied, as he hurried away. Jiffy Towels rut£tea WIttR c A pair of towel's Is allwac s• 11 welcome gift.

There, thousands of the little parasites, comfortably bottled, are being used to chal- lenge one - of the basic tenets of modern genetics. The belief that acquired characteristics—such as an amputated leg or an ' addic- tion to morphine—cannot be passed on genetically to future generations, • The bottled. bedbugs have nibbled away at this principle simply by changing their accus- tomed eating habits, The world's bedbugs fall into three gastro- nomic categories — those that feed on the blood of bats, of pigeons and other birds, or of human being s, Entomologist Robert L. Usinger, however, is starving bedbugs into a prefer- ence for more exotic fare, Last month, Usinger reported that he bred bedbugs which for twelve generations seem to have in- herited an acquired taste for rabbit and chicken, "A hungry bug will bite; some other animal or bird if the nor- mal host is not available," Us- inger explained, "What I do is take newly hatched bedbugs whose parents preferred,for ex• ample, human blood, and force them to . live on a new host. Later, we check their prefer- ences by offering them both the old cnd new hosts," To do this, a bug is placed in the stem of a ,T-shaped glass tube. To the right is a delicious human arm —Usinger's; to the left, a nice fat rabbit. "The ancestor of all bedbugs," Usinger believes, "was a para- site on bats," Since early man and the bats shared the same caves, some of the bugs acquir- ed a taste of man—although others went on biting bats. Usinger still hesitates to claim that his bedbugs have actually inherited their new dinner pre- ferences. For one thing, not ev- ery • bedbug becomes a perma- nent convert, although each suc- cessive generation comes closer to a unanimity. Now, Usinger's primary aim is to change -the food habits of .the parasites in one . generation—"then we will really have something for the geneticists to explain,"—From Newsweek. Ten Million Year Old Man In' the Bacinello mine in Italy two miners have just discovered, encased in a bed of coal of the irliocene period,- the fossilized' ■ keleton of a man. It has prob- ably been there ten million years, Until now it was believed that the transition from ape to man was completed about a million years ago. Now Professor Hurz- eler, curator of the Basle Natural History Museum, who has ex- amined the skeleton sixty. feet. down with the aid of a miner's lamp, is emphatic: the skeleton bas all the human characteristics, Only the head is missing. The body, about four and a half feet long, is lying in a sort of breast -stroke position. The miners lost little time cutting a • near -by block of coal to -see . if • they would. find the, head. , ' In a few days the skeleton will. be' transferred to the Basle mu-' mum and studied in minute de- tail. According *to' the theory of Professor Hurzeler, beings simi lar to man and different from. tapes were living at least ten mil-' bon' years ago.

Big Race For The "Keyboard Stakes" Presenting a vastly. different picture . from the gaping shell caused by wartime bombing, the Round Church of the Temple, just off London's Fleet Street, was rededicated recently ata service attended by the Queen, Prince Philip and the Queen Mother. First built in the twelfth cen- tury, this historic home of law- yers was badly damaged . on an earlier occasion—in the reign of. James 1I—when it was partly burnt • out and the organ. com- pletely • destroyed, The Old Benchers of the Temple ,--K,C,s` and judges -- were intensely proud of their church and decided that a new organ was top priority. This was not to be just another church organ—it had ' to be the finest* organ in' the land, "There's only one way we can make sure of this,", they de"cided.•'' "We. must. announce a competf ' tion. We will offer a big' money' • prize. Let the best organ build-. er, in the' land winl" • At that time there were two`' celebrated, organ -builders in the -land,' Renatus Harris, an English craftsmen, -'and Bernard Schmidt,, a German, who was renowned for- his fiery. temper. These two great Draftsmen were bitter rivals, • ' Each declared that he. could: build a more magnificent organ than his opponent. And so the contest began. It raged for more, than a year, and kept the whole • of • London amused. . . "Who is to build first?" Schmidt asked .the Old Bench- ers, ."Neither," they retorted. "You will 'both build together, There's plenty of room in our church for two organs," Ignoring each other, the rivals and their, assistants set to •work, and slowly two grand, new organs took shape in the 'stately old church, The''Benchers came every day. to watch progress, but offered no opinions.. The rivals worked • on, hostile as two bantam cocks before battle. .Finally , the day came when ' the two mighty organs were -.completed. Now, it is one thing to be a master organ -builder, quite .an- ,other to be a first-class organist. Thus the problem arose as to who should play for each com- petitor when the Benchers filed 'into their; stalls , to judge the ' merits of . each instrument. This question was the talking . point among the London sellers of broadsheets, who were soon referring to the "Keyboard ' - Stakes." "Who will `ride' for Schmidt?" they asked, "and who for Renatus?" Harris was first off the mark in selecting his "jockey." "My . organ will be played by Baptiste , Draghi," he proudly declared,. This was quite a capture, for Draghi was Court Organist td Queen Catherine,a very cele- brated 'musician indeed, But old Bernard Schmidt - went one better, He triulnphnn- •fiy announced that his organ would be played by the great ' Purcell, the finest composer of church music in the country and a brilliant organist. All London was agog by the time the big day arrived, The church, In which Richard the Lionheart had worshipped, was thronged with excited people. Each organ was played in turn. The Benchers listened at-. tentively. "Well?" queried the contest - tants, as the final chords faded away, "Who wins?" ' But the Benchers,• like all lawyers, were wily and cautious men. ' They. replied: "One test— '• that is nothing. We shall have to hear many more." • So, week after. week, Draghi and Purcell played the two great organs.for'tho Benchers, As time •- passed the atmosphere became more and more tense, '• One day a fat Bencher re- • marked to Bernard Schmidt af- ter a recital,' "The -pipes of your organ a -re really not very hand home." "They may look like the. devil," . exploded' the old man,. "but . ven Purcell plays, they ` make sounds like •angels :in Heaven!" But. the contest. could -.not go on indefinitely. At _length the Benchers simply had 'to ..give a decision; The. race for the •Key . board Stakes, with.' its prtze''it" •±81,600-worth"at least ' : 10,000 to-day—simply ,had to come • to aw•end._ ' At last the. Benchers called both Organ -Wider before them, "We .• much ( regret 'the delay, gentlemen, they explained, "but we cannot come to an agreement .about the respective merits of your two- very -fine organs, We have, therefore, ' requested my Lord Jeffreys to hear both play- ed and •make a final • decision:" Lord --'Jeffreys ' heard both :organs and was quick to make . up his mind. "The best organ is Mr, Schmidt's," he declared. So Bernard Schmidt won the`covet- ed £ 1,500 -prize,- • There is a , footnote to this story. During the last war, the Temple: Church was again set, on fire and Bernard Schmidt's organ which ,had boomed out in that ancient church for more than two centuries, was des- troyed. • Once more the Benchers were *faced with the same'' problem, But *this time they • did : not ar- range, a ,contest. There was no need. A fine -organ was .present- ed to them. • - • - - If you turn off Fleet Street one Sunday and take the ; nar- row lane that leads to London's olde;lt place of worship, you can hear this _splendid organ, being played, by that, great organist George Thalben•Ball Small‘ Mice Cause Big .Scare "Warning; White mice, used in rabies tests, have been , stolen from the animal laboratory of the State Health Department on Capitol Hill. The mice — 25 of them all have been injected with material potentially very hazardous, The lives of anyone who comes in contact with these mice are in danger , , ." Breathlessly interrupting the usual Sunday morning television • 'and radio programs in Atlanta, Ga., recently, announcers sent a chill over. the city which had already had a severe case of jit- ters since last October when 55 - year -old Willie Ester Ray died of rabies after he was bitten by a rabid dog.' • As Atlantans waited the search for .the mice went on. At the big buff -colored brick • animal -labo- ratory, state' special agent, Sgt. Maj, W.P. Holley, assisted by - W.M, -Bowman, coordinator of technical service,- checked. the cages and lab tables for finger- prints. Later, as he drove home, Holley noticed four boys in their early teens walking down the empty sidewalk "neatly dressed like they might be going to church:" On a "hunch," the agent pulled up and called to the boys. "I didn't want to -scare them off," Holley said, "so I just said some dangerous rats had been taken, and. did they know any boy who had any white rats. One of the kids — a real willing one said he knew some boys who had. rats,". • Holley • and the boy drove to a brown -stained shingle house, Where, • Eddie Wallace, 13, and Joe Ragsdjle, 15, were ' routed out of bed. Told of the peril of the missing •mice, the terrified teen-agers -produced a wooden box containing about half of the missing animals, helped to catch another 'that was • running •loose in the house, They also confess- ed:. that two other boys; James Scarborough, 14, and his brgth- er, - Charles, 13, were involved in their escapade. Nine more mice • were found, at their` home :and all four youngsters were taken to the Atlanta -police station:. Two of the. boyps, Eddie Wal- lace and Joe Ragsdale, had been bitten on the ' hands ' by ',one of the white rats. Bitten also were the father of the two other ar- rested lads, 'Calvin Scarborough, 58, an older brother in the fam- ily, and a teen-age boy ' neigh- bor. All the victims • were given anti -rabies shots. The boys were released in' custody'al. their par- ents. -' But to the public at least, the _sense 'of peril still existed. Three aLtheetolen-mice:,had been. kill-. ,ed by;the boys, and their bodies. thrown ' in the 'Atlanta Streets, where, it .was feared, dogs or cats might have eaten them. This menace, ' said Bowman, "prob- ably. 'was exaggerated. • A' dog is not likely to eat a dead mouse, , and a cat dosn't generally eat anything that it hasn't killed itself. — From NEWSWEEK. Sick .
