TIIE NINERS FARM FORUM MEET The Niners Farm Forum met at the home of Mr, and- Mrs. Garth Mc- Clinchey on Monday night, to discuss "Supervised Credit." '1. As far as.credit is concerned we think the first 35 percent is the diffi•, cult part if you have that there is lots of credit available, • • 2. We think if you have the first 35 percent the present boards are suffi• tient. 3. We think also if the farmers would make more use of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, it would be about all the advisory service needed. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Bean, John Hanna Reports This third week of the Legislature session at Toronto has seen a great flurry of wrens and newspaper pub- licity with respect to gas company shares and their purchase by mem- bers of the Legislature. At one time it almost seemed as if Ptemier Frost would ask for dissplution and a gener- al election to place the issue before the people. however, as it was quite apparent that all concerned, includ- ing former cabinet ministers (who had resigned in expiation for their indis- cretion) and Liberal Leader Winter- meyer had been innocent parties, the matter became; only a stumbling block to, the progress of the business of the province and it was, closed, During the week' the standing com- mittees of the House got down to work and the members had an opportunity of examining proposed legislation. The cent:settee on Government Commis- sions spent a half day delvinginto the secrets of the Liquor Control Board and its profit-making organization, The good atendance of members et the committee meetings each morning in- dicates that they are alert to their du- ties and are intent on being read rep- resentatives of their people. The standing committees of the House are one of the places where the private member can bring his views and those of his people to the attention . of the government with good chance of In- fluencing legislation and government policy. Another such forum is .ilio party caucus, of which government members have been having at least two per week. Many excellent• ideas come out at this meetings and the government is usually prompt to seize and adopt them. The debate on the speech from the throne continued from day to day, interspersed with introduction of bills. That is the one time when all mein- bers have the right. to speak on any subject, and you can be sure that this is just what they do. One of the most interesting of these speeches was the report on Ontario Hydro byjlon.

Not so our friends who continued down the hill unaided by any mechanical means.

Grandma And The January Thaw The worst month in a Mohawk Valley boy's year was January, Perhaps I should say is January, because the deep-rooted meteor- ological miseries of that despica- ble period can't have changed, even in five decades. As a juvenile and amateur ob- server,of the weather, I decided that January provided a most unsatisfactory start for a new year. Obviously the commence- ment of a fresh calendar was an Important event, and I suggest- ed to Grandma that it would be better if it took place on May 1. She agreed, but reminded me that inasmuch as we had to live with January for many days, the sensible attitude was to make the best of it. After all, the cold, sleet, snow, wind, ice, and thaw were the inescapable costs of the coming spring. The thaw—ah, that was the winter of my discontent! Arriv- ing soon after the Christmas vacation, it desolated our coast- ing and skating, ruined our ski slopes, demolished our snow houses, turned the streets into canals, and generally immobili- zed the younger generation. Boys and girls could handle weather that packed the town in the deepest of freezers, for there were recreations that re- quired cold. But in the melting time, life became seriously cir- cumscribed, at least for me. Grandma was adamant on one point I could not play outdoors in the slush and soak of a Jan- --__uary thaw. ,.11 pestering me," she'd say on an afternoon or a Satur- day when the liquidation of win- ter's assets was well under way. "You're not going out in that mess," And I didn't. The thaw arrived slyly, sneak- ing upon us in the night. When I went to bed the evening be - ore, all would be well. The snow castle I had built near the kitchen steps looked as solid as its Camelot counter -part in my King Arthur book; the tiny back -yard skating rink I sprin- kled daily for nocturnal freez- ing seemed good for the rest of the winter; and Story Street hill, which ended at our corner, promised many more sled rides. Grandma had an uncanny weather sense; she seemed to be thhuman barometer. Opening e front door atter supper, she'd inspect the sky, sniff, and shake her head. "January thaw," she'd an- nounce. "I wouldn't be surpris- ed if it came tonight." And it usually did, with. an escort of rain. The period of warmer temper- atures lasted only a few days, but the destruction of things a boy held dear was appalling, even in that short interval. Christ- mas snowmen lost flesh at an alarming rate; their coal eyes shed black tears down their shrinking tummies. The snow fort which Freddie Winters, Jack Niles, and I had held against a fierce attack by the boys in the next street yielded meekly to 50 degrees Fahren- heit. Tunnels we had dug in the snowbanks along the sidewalks became uninhabitable, and we were warned against using them, ,vrites John L. Cooley in The Christian Science Monitor. We knew, of course, that more cold and snow were as certain as the approaching school examin- ations, and that helped some- what. But boys live for the mo- ment, and the havoc wrought by the January thaw dishearten- ed us, Frankly, however, I did not regret too deeply my con. ISSUE 8 — 1959 finement to quarters, for the discomforts incident to intimate contact with slush and wet snow were real indeed. Nevertheless, it was harts to sit in my window chair and watch the fringe of icicles on the eaves of the house next door drip slowly back to their natural element, I had watched those graceful pendants mature, and regretted their dis- olution, Although Grandma's restric- tions on my activity were rather severe, I was not deprived of all association with the thaw and its works. Close relations were possible at least four time a day. Even my grandparent could not set aside the decision of the sovereign State of New York that a boy must be edu- cated, regardless of the weather; so, unless conditions were utter- ly impossible, I slogged to my classroom and back, one round trip in the morning, another in the afternoon. The return journeys at the end of the school day were pro- longed by engineering prdjects such as the damming, with soggy snow, of a gutter at a crossing so that the water would back up into an imaginary Lake George and then overflow like the spill- way at the town reservoir. An- other interesting job was the construction of sluices through aging drifts to facilitate the escape of the eager, icy flood that awaited release frotn the ruts of the road. The manufacture of snow- balls on one's own premises, was also an important chore; a fel• low must take advantage of the soft snow while he had it, and it was possible to devote ten or fifteen mintues to this work be. fore his grandmother. realized that he was home, Her dislike of wet feet and wet clothing— his, in each case—seeme incom- prehensible to him, But it did no good to plead; Mother Na• ture had been adjudged an unfit companion during the January thaw, The thaw had a by • product which, I must admit, was pleas- ant. Imprisoned in the living room on soggy afternoons, I would yield eagerly to Grand- ma's suggestion that I maneuver my lead soldiers or read about the battler; fought by my story- book heroes. "They're much better than snOw tights," _ she'd ay. "And Ws nicer in here where it's warm and dry. . ,Now why don't you show me crow Pickett charged at Gettysburg?" Grand- ma had seen my reenactment of Confederate valor times without number, but she always was willing to be favored by another demonstration. She would vary the diversion by reminding me that I . could play I was outdoors—and very far from our Academy Street, too. The locale of this game was the Arctic where, I had heard, there were no January thaws, The big lozenges that dominated the pattern of our rug made realistic—and oh so safe and dry! --ice floes; a boy could skip from cake to cake while his grandmother encouraged or ap- plauded, as circumstances re- quired. Then, presto!—our thaw was over as quickly as it had come. The morning after its departure the kitchen window was so heavily painted with frost. that I could not look out as I ate my ' oatmeal. The remnants of the snowman and fort, when I in- spected them, seemed to have taken courage from the change, and I knew I could make re- pairs. Best of alI was Grand- ma's reminder of things to come: "Well, the paper says we're in for another long cold snap,' We'd better get your -skates sharp- ened!" IN THE NEWSBOYS' TRADITION the :rifts, walk over 'em, That's b: r, 11 who delivers the Etkha — If you can't walk through the philosophy of DaleHuns- rt paper despite any weather. TABLE TALKS SALMON CROQUETTES Good fish deserves a cook's best care. Here are two tips worth remembering. To preserve a fish product's fine appearance, handle it as little and as gently as possible during and after cooking, To preserve its fine fla- vour, take care not to overcook it. Fish has no tough connective tissue and so doesn't require a lengthy cooking period to make It tender and to develop its fla- vour, It can be baked, broiled, steamed, poached or fried with i excellent results. Recommended cooking times are useful as a -guide to fish s cooked. Usually they are based on the measured thickness of a product rather than on its weight. $ • * How can you tell when flsh is cooked? The indications are as clear as . tTaflic lights. A piece of raw fish whether pink, white or cream coloured has a watery look. During the cooking process the juices become milky in col- our, giving the flesh a whitish tint. This colour change is un- mistakable. When the flesh has taken on an apaque white tint to the centre of the`cut, It is com- pletely cooked. At•this time the flesh will separate ' into flakes when prodded with a fork and if there are any bones present it will separate from them easily. Fish cooked beyond this point tends to lose juices, dry out, and become increasingly tough and flavourless. • • * QUICK SALMON PIE 1 can (151/2 ounces) salmon 1 can (10 ounces) peas, drained 4 tablespoons butter tablespoons flour 12 teaspoon salt.

Klondy Nelson will never for- get her first Christmas with the tough goldminers of Ophir Creek, Alaska, though she was a child at the time. Her father, Warren Nelson, had left. their South Dakota home for the Klondyke goldrush in '98, Four years later, she and her mother went north to join him. The last lap of the journey was by stage coach from Nome to Council, along the coast over the frozen Bering Sea, A mile offshore there was a splintering crash and the coach stopped, Brower, the driver, began yell- ing and his blacksnake whip cracked like gunfire, Looking out, one of the passengers order- ed everyone to pile out of the coach. The two leading horses of the six -horse team had gone through the ice! K l o n d y and her mother scrambled on to a hummock and stared at the black, jagged hole in the ice where the two horses were rearing and floundering in the running sea. • Brower did the only thing he could — chopped the animal loose to save the rest, then took a gun and.shot them out of their misery, Later he said fo Klondy, "Guess you think I was pretty hard about them horses - I can't let myself git to like 'em, If I ever git to like 'em, then it's harder when I got to do what I just done,"' They were 10 days reaching Council, The rest of the journey was by dog -sled. They were ac- companied by Big Hans, a man from Ophir Creek, who kept taking swigs from one of a num- ber of jugs he was carrying. On the way the whole team bolted off the trail and over a sharp cornice after a flock of ptarmigan. They capsized the sled, pitching Klondy into a snow -bank at the bottom of a gully, where she was almost buried alive, As Hans floundered down after her, and began kicking around in the loose drifts, Klondy's mother screamed at him: "There she is! Right behind you," "I know where she is," he snarled, "I'm looking for my jug." With Corey Ford, Klondy Nel- son gives a vivid account of life in the Klondyke in "Klondy: A Daughter of the Gold Rush". They describe a Christmas party in the miners' bunkhouse at Ophir Creek. The Christmas tree was lighted with miners' thick candles wired to the branches. They shone on strings of red cranberries, gilded corks, and a star at; the top cut from a baking -powder tin. But there weren't any presents, though Klondy had prayed night- ly to Santa Claus for a doll's house, Her Hp quivered and, noticing it, one of the miners chuckled: "Don't worry, Klondy, Santa will be showing up any minute now. Won't he, Hans?" "By Jiminy, he better!" Big Hans muttered, "That's what I paid him for." Theyd hired a Lapp herder to dress up as Santa and drive his reindeer team right up on to the roof, banking extra snow against the bunkhouse so that the sleigh could climb the slope. There was no chimney for Santa to come down, only a stovepipe, so they'd loosened two boards in the roof to.. make a trapdoor. Then sleighbells sounded in the distance. Closer they came, then right on to the roof. Amid the prancing of reindeer hoofs, Santa's voice could be heard bel- lowing, "Whoa, you yavils! Stand still!" There was a loud thumping and scraping and snow sifted on to the floor, Thema pair of Lapp reindeer boots with turned -up toes came through the ceiling, followed by stocky legs in red woollen underwear. They dang- led and kicked as Santa yelled: "Quick! Coom, somebody! Ay not get t'rough dis yavilish hole," Several men stood on the bunkhouse table, pulled, tugged, and eventually lowered Santa to Use floor, I -Ie wore a white drill parka, a stocking cap, and a beard as white- as cotton, which now appeared to be growing from the side of his face! Fling- ing a burlap sack in front of Klondy, he turned and strode towards the door, "Hey," Hans yelled, "ain't you goin' back up the chimney?" "Not by dam sight," Santa re- torted. Klondy heard the thump of a ladder against the bunkhouse, then the fading tinkle of sleigh - bells as Santa headed back over the hill, A miner opened the sack and dumped the presents in her lap— gold nuggets, nugget -chains. five - and ten -dollar gold pieces, white ermine skins, lovely Arctic fox furs. But no doll's house, All the way home she never said a word—until Mother asked her what was the natter; then she told her. Up jumped her father, He went over to the table and cut and hammered at some- thing. A little later he called "Merry Christmas, Klondy!" He'd cut the bottom out el a maple syrup tin which had bee, designed and shaped like a house. He'd poked holes in the painted window and set the tin over a lighted candle. The light shone through the little holes and real smoke curled up from the chimney—the opening' for pouring out the syrup. Klondy sat in front of it, glar- ing, staring. "I think it was the nicest. Christmas present 1 ever • had," she says. "I thought I'd tell you I've been here just on twenty-five years," said the timid employee to his boss, hopefully. "So," boomed the -employer, "it's you who's worn the holes in the carpet."

The bells( The bells!" Chips, the ship's carpen- ter, whispered hoarsely in the mato's ear. "Hear them bells, Mister? The bells o' the sea, ring- ing for the dead!" The mate grabbed Chips' shoulders and shook him. "You are going balmy,". he said. "The heat has affected your brain! One more word from you about bells, and you'll be locked up until we reach Melbourne!" But the next day Chips was at it again. Running from his shop, eyes staring, he sang out to the deckhands.;"Listen, mates, listen! Hark at 'them bells, the Letts o' the seal We'll never reach port, 1 tell ye! We're ail dead men!" With a screech of, horror, he climbed on the barque's rail, holding on to the fore shrouds, pointing ahead, "Pull him dawn!" the mate roared. "Grab him before he goes over the side, and lock him in his shop!" Locked in he was, but he stuck his head out of the port, singing out in a voice of doom: "The bells o' the sea fore- tell death and destruction I can hear them ringing!" Sir James Bisset, ex -Cunard Commodore, says it happened in mid-Atlantic doldrums in the County of Pembroke, the first barque he sailed in as apprentice in '98. The sequel was as strange as any in sea annals, For, next the lookout man, Rhys Davies, came bounding down from the forecastle, eyes wide with fright, crying: "Mister! Mister! I hear hells .. , on the port bow, ring- ing over the water, and there's no ship or land in sight!" "Have you gone mad, too?" the mate demanded But he ordered all hands torrard to lis- ten, and himself heard a hell's deep note tolling over the empty expanse of sea on the port bow. "Holy mackerel!" he gasped. "Nothing in sight, and -we're hundreds of miles from land! Call the captain!" The captain came, focused his telescope in the direction indi- cated. "Indeed to goodness," he exclaimed, "It's a bell buoy! I can see it, very ruhty, with no top light, but the clappers are working well enough. What's a bell buoy doing in the middle of the ocean? It must be adrift. Bear up for it, Mister," Fetching a rifle from his cabin, he sank the buoy with a number of shots, ignoring Chips' frantic appeal: "Don't shoot, sir! It's bad luck!" What puzzled them all was HE'S NOT EMUSED - A dim view of all that snow is taken by this baby emu in the Vin- cennes zoo near Paris, France. Emus, birds resembling the ostrich but smaller in size, are native to Australia. Their chief purpose: to fill three - letter blanks in crossword puzzles. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Ronan tiddler 5.

Four of the how Chips had heard that bell days and nights before anyone else, Sir James comments in a stirring account of his first six years under sail: "Sail Ho!", written in collaboration with P R. Stephenson. Was : the dis- covery of the real bell -a mil- lion -to -one chance it mid -ocean -just a coincidence at the very time he'd gone off his head with a touch of the sun and imagined he could hear bells? Another strange thing happen- ed on the voyage back, 900 miles off Africa, when the masts and yards were given a fresh coat of white paint. The mate noticed a drift of reddish dust swirling in the corners of the poop deck, then discovered that the wet paint on masts and yards was completely covered with it, "A ruddy dust storm, sir, during the might," he told the skipper in- credulously. "Dust storm?" said the cap- tain. "We're nearly a thousand mlies from land!" But he went aloft and saw for himself that the unbelievable had occurred. A whirlwind from the Sahara had presumably carried a dust -cloud high in the air for 1,500 miles or more, to deposit it in mid -ocean on that new paint! Sir James says he's never heard of it happening to any other ship. He's never heard, either, of a ship with burst seams making port safely, held to- gether with cable, until a ship- mate, Mick Mulligan, told him It happened to the fully -rigged Kingsport when he sailed in her on her maiden voyage from Saint John's, New Brunswick. Wooden - built, she hadn't enough iron bolts and tree nails to hold her hull together, But the owners decided she was good enough to sail to England to be finished, with a cargo of sawn baulks, boards and battens which had been frozen hard, lying out in the open, When she reached warm Gulf Stream weather the timber thaw- ed, swelled, and as the hull wasn't properly fastened, burst her seams; she began leaking like a basket and became water- logged, Pumping couldn't keep . the water back, so Captain Mul- cahy ordered a length of the anchor cable to be unshackled, hauled underthe ship's bottom on a line and up the other side, and made fast to the capstan with wire lashing, In nine hours they put one length round her by the fore- mast, one by the main, and a third by the mizzen, and thug trussed -with rails under, only poop and forecastlehead show- ing, galley washed out and fo'- c'sle belly -deep in water -made Holyhead after a forty -day voy- age, and were towed into Liver- pool by a Mersey tug, 6.

TIIEPMN FROT Aauszeir Just because five of the larg- est dairy products companies in the country have their operat• Ing headquarters on -the West, Coast is no sign that: the smaller firms in the region are being crowded out, Far from it. In the last four or five years some 250 smaller concerns have started up in Cali- fornia alone, and one equipment. supplier was bidding on 12 jobs simultaneously a few weeks ago. • « $ The rise of the new, smaller concerns located close' to the large centers of population is one of the outstanding trends in the western dairy industry, ac- cording . to- Mrs. Virginia Jones 'Baker, publisher .. of Western .. Dairy Foods Review. Many of them are drive-ins, where women using the ,family car for jitneying. children' to and from school or for shopping ex- peditions can easily swing by and pick up the ' family milk for less money. • ,.• * One of the newest and largest of .these "producer to consumer" dairies, located in Hayward, in the San Francisco Bay area, has four service lanes, 3,000 -car daily capacity, for expeditions handling of cash and carry cus- tomers. A large sign centrally located between the service lanes lists merchandise, complete with prices. It is the outcome of an idea of four ective dairy far- mers producing Jersey milk, • • • One reason for the ability of the smaller producers to com- pete is the "feed -lot" system, where pasture is dispensed with, cows are 'penned up in as smail an area as possible and fed store - bought hay and supple- mentary nourishment. This brings its results in milk: California's annual output of milk per cow is reported as 8,000 pounds, compared to Wisconsin's 7,600 and the national average of 6,000, For the Los Angeles County dairyland, or "milk shed" as It is frequently called, figures of 13,500 pounds per cow ere reported. The country's milk volume is the greatest in the country and greater than 22 of the states, • • 4 Another reason is truck trans- portation, which permits a small plant to process milk from groups of farmers located a con- siderable distance away. With the development of refrigerated transportation, milk can be haul- ed many miles; in fact, It is trucked from California's San Joaquin Valley to Phoenix, Ariz., a good thousand miles, with only 'two. to three degrees change in temperature. • • • The so-called small milk oper- ation is nevertheless a good- sized business. It must have from 80 to 100 fresh cows to be pro- fitable, according to Mrs Baker, snd must be highly mechanized. . Today's ultimate is piping the rnilk direct from the milking machines attached to the cows to holding tanks, and thence by pump into the truck's tank. • • • This is part of the picture of the growing West, whose milk production for the 11 -state area is expected to increase from the 14.8 billion volume of 1955 to 20.2 billion pounds in 1975 -and still not be able to meet the de- mand. Despite this 37 per cent climb for m i I k, the expected population increase is 67 per cent. • • • At prezent the West produces slightly more than enough to meet its demands, according to a study by Dr, R. G. Bressler of the G i a n n i n i Foundation of Agricultural Economics, Univer- sity of California, In terms of total dairy pro- ducts, however the region has a deficit equivalent to some 2.2 billion pounds of farm milk pro- duction, roughly equal to two- thirds of the butter consumption of the western states. Shipments of butter, cheese, and other pro- ducts from the Mid -west make up the deficit. Bright ideas There was a time when many companies who paid any atten- tiop• at all to their employes' ideas, 'paid a $10 bonus for im- provement suggestion. And they got ideas worth only $10 In too many instances. Since World War II many com- panies have upped the bright - idea ante. They pay off a per- centage of the savings that can be made on an employe's bright idea. And both the companies and the employes have been cashing in handsomely. Latest such cash -in is that of two employes of the Gary Works of the U.S. Steel Corp ,The steel- workers, Oscar M, Dansler, 61, and Salvatore Lumella, 39, each received $10,000 for figuring out a way to separate molten iron from slag as it flows from the furnace, Dansler was quite frank in admitting he put his mind to the problem only when the com- pany announced the suggestion contest 18 months ago. Since then the Gary plant has paid out $67,000 to 1,500 em- ployes. This shows that when management is willing to learn from the workers on the job, employes can be inspired to think in terms of the company's pro- blems. That is, if the employes have the same incentive that management has - namely, money, Hundreds of companies are learning this lesson and are paying out millions for bright ideas. - Chicago Sun -Times. )IMY StilOOl LESSON By Rev, R. Barclay Warren B.A., 8.0. Jesus Teaches about the End of the Age. Memory Selection: Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is. Mark 13:33. Many who used to scoff at the Idea of the destruction of this world have changed their mind since the coming of the atomic age. The following statement from 2 Peter 3:10, doesn't sound so fantastic now, "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; on the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therin shall be burned up." The destruction of Jerusalem, including the temple, hsppened in 70 A.D. just as Jesus predicted it on our lesson. His personal re- turn is still d e 1 a y e d. Some would-be prophets have set the date for our Lord's return. "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no not the angels which are in heaven," It is not for us to speculate as to the time of HIs return but ra- ther to take heed, and watch and pray. The prophecies with regard to the first coming of Jesus were minutely fulfilled. So will the Scriptures concerning His return in glory be fulfilled. Our business is to receive Him now into our hearts as Lord and Saviour. Then we shall be ready to meet Him when He returns. An old .Rabbi used to say to his people, "Repent the day be- fore you die." "But" said they, "Rabbi, we do not know the day of our deaths," "Then", said the Rabbi, "Re- pent today." That is timely ad- vice. We should live today with the full awareness that it may be our last day. For, even though Jesus Christ may not come, death may come. Let us therefore walk with God. "If we walk in the light, as he Is In the light, we have fellowship one with an- other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin," 1 John 1:7. If you are, not on speaking terms with some member of your family or your community, do your best to clear the misunderstanding. Let us pre- pare to meet God. English Becoming The World Tongue The important change in the postwar years is the extent to which English is spoken, and as a form of communication be- tween those of other nation- alities. In Palermo a French woman speaks to hotel employs in English, In Florence, Cubans haggle over price In English. In Hamburg, an Indian and a German argue politics in Eng- lish. To stimulate this trend, the Ford Foundation has announced grants of $600,000 to expand and improve the teaching of English as a second language. This mon- ey will be used to upgrade the quality of instruction, chiefly to Africa and Asia, It is now being predicted that only extreme national pride or a complete collapse of the econo- my, both unlilcely, can prevent (the English language) from be- - coming the accepted second Ianguage in most countries of the world, -Kansas City Star.

This is the first time I've needed to consult you, but my dilemma has got me down, "I am much concerned about the way my wife is bringing up our two girls, both under 12, She glosses over what I think are grave offenses, and sometimes punishes them for things that teem to me only childish mis- chief. "We are equally determined to Lring out the best in them, and I should be able to reconcile her decisions with mine. So far I've got nowhere. She will not admit how unreasonable she is, so usually she has her way. I love them all so dearly, and this has me up a tree. Can you straighten us out? PUZZLED FATHER" ' When parents disagree on + this subject it is helpful if the + husband will remember that * his wife is with the children " all day and naturally knows * them better than he, with all * his solicitude, possibly can, * She understands their indi- * vidual potentialities and con- * tradictions, and senses the * need for approval here, for * discipline there.

This exhibition, the first large- scale contemporary ceramic ex- hibition of international scope to be shown at the Metropoli- tan in 30 years, contains 203 European works and 148 pieces from Canada • and the `United States, including Hawaii. It in- cludes the work of potters, sculp- tors, and enamelists. Here are not only the utili- tarian pots and bowls, but deco- rative items with cats and birds, children, men, and women, and whole towns caught in some characteristic mood or pose and made permanent in clay. The works represent those pot- ters who stick to traditional forms and also those more dar- ing and experimental ones who work with high -flying exuber- ance. As a whole, the jury has recognized skill of a high order, and "three-dimensional" inspira- tion. The artists shown are those who have mastered the pure ceramic art. The selections — with their great range of motifs and types of ceramics — illustrate strong national characteristics, Yet, too, they indicate the evolving inter- national style, as potters borrow influence, contribute influence, and become themselves, inter- national artisans. Besides the work with clay which they have in common, there is their own dedication — wherever they pa- tiently sit at a potter's wheel — to an age-old craft. In our mass - production society this evidence is refreshing and reassuring. Although stone ware domi- nate the exhibition, there is much earthenware and terra cotta and some transparent por- celain vases as thin as eggshell. Glazes which glow like smelted jewels show the vast facility of the ceramists. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. Is it proper for one to stir one's food .together on the plate at a dinner? A. This is very poor manners, since it tends •to make the plate messy, like a child's, You shouldn't vigorously stir ,gravy into potatoes, or swirl around your portions to mix them to- gether. If you want to mix things, do It by putting a little of each on your fork, and then eating the mouthful. "It's sickening the way my wife keeps talking about her first husband.", "You're lucky. Mine keeps talking about her next.". COCKY SPANIEL — You'd almost think this snooty little guy won the prize cup in Epsom, England. It was awarded to his mother, but the tiny cocker spaniel seems pretty possessive. H1tONICLES 1nERFeM For the past week the wea- ther, I am sure, has been the main topic at conversation. How oould it be otherwise when al- Inost every part of the country, fromeast to west, has _ suffered from the unpleasant results of rain,, flooding, ,ice and snow — and the thermometer, within a few hours dropping from 50 de- grees above to 5 degrees below zero. Although there were no major disasters in this district there were plenty of minor inconveni- ences. Ditches overflowed, gar- dens were flooded and here and there a sump .pump refused to function. One night the wind was terrific, lightning lit up the eastern horizon, street lights flickered and we thought surely the hydro power would give up the ghost, Partner was out until atter 12 o'clock that night, open- ing up ditches to the road so the water would have a better chance to run off our own and our neighbours' properties. To put in time I turned on the "late show" and after Partner came in it was so good we want- ed to see it through. WI►ich was fortunate because the furnace blew a fuse. Had we been in bed we might not have noticed it -- and with the temperature fall- ing it would have been a nice, cold house by morning. During the flood stage our basement stayed dry but outside there was plenty of flooding. Now it is a skating rink—with children and adults alike making good use of it. Not I — I won't even venture on to our driveway it is so ter ribly icy, and little we can do about it. On the farm there was always something to scatter over the ice — cinders, straw, sand or cattle -salt, Here we have nothing, except a few wood ashes from the fireplace. I haven't had the car out for five days — why add to the traPfic if one doesn't have to? We al- ways have enough of the essen- tials of life to last But for a week or ten days. Enough, did I say? 1 should add for ourselves. Thursday was another story, A long distance call to say two people, whom we knew only slightly, would like to visit us next day. I said I would he delighted — and meant it — but during the night I wondered what kind of a meal I could put up. After having de- cided on my "menu" I had just dropped off to sleep when the telephone rang. At 4.45 a.m.! By the time 1 got to the kitchen it had •stopped ringing. But that didn't stop me worrying. Was it Bob . , had he taken Joy to hospital and was he trying to get us before he went? The things you can think of during the night! Gat to sleep again rind at 6.45 the phone rang again. This time Partner was out of bed first, Hurrying to the phone he stubbed his toe on a chair. Well, it was just the usual — someone hadn't checked the number properly so they had our number but the wrong par- ty. Ps.rtner's remarks about his stubbed toe and wrong party calls are not for publication. Our visitors arrived soon after eleven next day and we had a wonderful visit. I marvelled at their courage as they had driven from the Caiedon Hills — equip- ped with snow -tires, plus a shovel and a pail of sand in the car. Apparently they have just the sort of place we would like -- seven acres, partly bush, a spring and two streams — but no close neighbours. To me that would be a drawback. 'We like country life but we like neigh- bours too. The thought of being isolated gives me the shivers. Saturday afternoon I looked at our dwindling food supplies and I looked at the weather, which showed every promise o! getting dirty again. So I just had to make a trip to the village store.' It is at times like the present we both wish Partner could drive. But when he was young enough to learn he thought he couldn't take time from the farm. Now he has time he feels it is too late to learn. Although he says he would take lessons if I would go along with the idea — which I won't—even though I'm sure he would get along all right as he used to drive our small farm tractor all over the place. Anyway I got to the store and back so now we are well sup. plied for another week and call sit back and watch the "world. go by. Or can we? Staying home means more time to read and to ponder uneasily over what we have read. For • instance Bruce Hutchinson has an article in the last Issue of Maclean's Magazine an Canada's political economy. He claims we are in real danger because we are losing world markets to countries who can supply those markets at prices Women Drivers Face The Weather Mother's role as the family chauffeur doesn't stop with the weather these days, Time was when women drivers avoided winter's tricky, driving condi- tions, but not today, Because wo- men become more and more knowledgeable when it comes to cars and their maintenance, they are able to cope with the diffi- culties of snow and ice, Survey's have shown that tires are one of 'the first things peo- ple think of when ensuring safe- ty in driving. Blow -outs are con- sidered the greatest of all tire hazards, Women who drive their children to and from school,. for example, are most anxious to have their cars in top shape and to know the safety rules for win- ter driving and tire care. Winter's alternate freezing and thawing causes many chuck holes and ruts in city streets and coun- try roads. When a tire jars over a chuck hole, the reinforcing tire cord is frequently broken. Moisture from wintry rains and slush can seep into tiny cracks and cuts in the tire tread or sidewall and set up a rot con- dition in tire cord. Experienced motorists check tires regularly for cuts, breaks, and imbedded nails, glass, bits of metal, If this type of exter- nal damage appears, it is ad- visable to remove the tire from the rim and have it examined carefully by an expert. for signs of fabric breaks inside. Inflation should be checked at least once a week, for tire ex- perts cite under -inflation as one of the most dangerous enemies of tire life, • Signs of poor alignment, such as uneven tread wear, are addi- tional danger signals to the wo- man who cares about keeping herself and her family safe on the road. lower than our own; and that our prices are above normal be- cause of our high' standard of living. Bruce Hutchinson gener- ally knows what he is talking about so it is an article well worth considering. After all, it rarely pays to live in a fool's paradise. Some time the awe.. • kening is bound to come. Late or soon — who knows? Loss of world markets would naturally increase unemployment — and mass unemployment is a situa- tion we all fear — especially those of us who lived during the '30's.

Day, 1908, should have been chosen for the encounter, but there were many other things about the contest to make it memorable, The loser, though taking a bad beating, refused to give in. The winner refused to finish off his Opponent, though he could easily have done so, The referee was apparently loath to stop the one- sided contest, and eventually the police ordered it to end, To appreciate the real atmos- phere it is necessary to go back a little, to the clay when Jack Johnson, a powerfully - built Texan negro, fought twenty rounds against Marvin Hart, and loot, Three months later Hart became world heavy - weight champion, but held the title only a few months before surrender- ing It to Tommy Burns, Burns, a French-Canadian, was 'actually a light - heavyweight and, in tact, won this title as well soon afterwards, Physically, he was the smallest champion the heavyweight division has ever known at 5 ft. 7 in, But he had an abrior'mally long reach, which enabled .him to hit or keep at bay, men much taller than him- self. Johnson was sure he could beat Burns, and quickly challenged for his title. The champion ig- nored him, but the Negro was persistent and followed him everywhere, repeating his chal- lenge. Stung into some sort of action at last, Burns merely de- clared that Johnson was a cow- ard and had a yellow streak— an odd statement for a world champion to :'lake, The inference is that Burns had either a complex about his comparative smallness or an aversion to fighting a coloured man. Whatever his reasons, he turn- ed down several attractive offers to meet Johnson but eventually fell to the bait of $30,000 to face the Negro at Rushcutters Bay, Sydney, on Boxing Day,' 1908. Johnson jumped at the offer of $7,500. The sponsor was a well- known Australian politician, but his action raised a storm of pro- tests that a man concerned with leaking laws should be associ- ated • with prize -fighting. He handed over the promotion to a hotel -keeper named Hugh D. McIntosh with the stipulation that his money should be return- ed if there was any profit, and at last Burns and Johnson came face to face, It was an oppres- sively hot morning,and most of the crowd of 21,000, who includ- ed two women and a large force of police, had spent the night in the open near the field where the fight was staged. The contestants were an ill- assorted pair: the champion swarthy, thick -set, scowling; the challenger six inches taller, 21 pounds heavier, yet with much more grace of movement. The sun glinted on his gold teeth as he smiled at the ringsiders, ap- parently not caring that Burns was favourite in the heavy bet- ting. There was a sensation with the first blow. Johnson . landed am uppercut which lifted Burns off his feet and deposited him on his back. For few seconds cham- pion and crowd were stupefied as the referee tolled off the count. He had reached eight be- fore Burns was on his feet again, still dazed. Johnson might have ended the STATE OF AIR TRAFFIC — Importance of air traffic to the dal y life of the newest state is this taken -for -granted sign on an airport near Anchorage, In air -minded Alaska. fight then and there, but he al- lowed his opponent to continue. Early in the second round, how:- ever, ow=ever, Burns was down again, this time from a left to the chin. As he fell he ricked his ankle, and when he got up it was ob- vious that he was in great pain, By the third round Burns had decided that unless he could end the fight quickly, he had lost his title, He tore into Johnson and hit him about the head and ribs, but the Negro only laughed. Burns was clearly outclassed. He could not hurt his challenger and it was obvious that Johnson was deliberately pulling his punches, The next three rounds all fol- lowed a similar pattern. Burns would come in, both fists flying, but Johnson would either step out of range or take the blows on his arms and then land a flurry of punches that left his opponent groggy. Only once was Johnson, ob- viously toying with his rival, shaken out of his coolness. In the seventh round Burns got through with a hard blow to the stomach. It caused no damage, but the smile left Johnson's face and he moved in relentlessly with a hail -of blows. Before long the Canadian had a huge lump over one eye, and the end seemed near. Johnson changed his tactics then and for the next three rounds amused himself by land- ing a few blows that made Burns go into clinches. Then, as he pushed his weakening opponent off, he would help him on his way with a quick left and right to head and body. This would bring Burns into a clinch again, for the process to be repeated. By the twelfth Johnson had tired of this little game and re- sorted to derision. Dropping his guard, he pointed to a spot near his right ribs and said: "Hit me here, Tommy!" Burns promptly did so, but Johnson, grinning broadly, merely turned, pointed to his left ribs, and said: "That's right.Now hit me here!" Again Burns accepted the invitation, and again Johnson justlaughed. The fourteenth had scarcely started when the champion went down once more under a merci- less hail of blows. Still he would not quit, and as' he gained his feet Johnson came in, deter- mined now to batter his victim into insensibility. That was enough, Only a few blows had landed and Burns was still on his feet when a police officer jumped into the ring to stop the fight, Johnson had been robbed of his knock- out, but the referee immediately raised his arm as the new world heavyweight champion.

Wizard Couldn't Figure Own Pay Figure wizards in the days before electronic calculating ma- chines • were even thought of were highly praised for some of theircalculations and even " to- day they are quite impressive, A youth nanied Zera), Colburn, for instance, amazed scientists by taking only four seconds to cal- culate how many seconds the"e were in 'forty-eight years, Another mathematical prodigy who was entertaining a friend casually asked him the date of his birth, This was given. Within seconds the guest was startled by his " host stating: "Since you were born 975,715,200 seconds have gone' by." It is on record that when George Parker Biddler, who. later achieved fame as an engin- eer, was still at school, he re- jected normal arithmetical meth- ods and invented others of his own which enabled him to do fantastically difficult sums with apparent ease. He became widely known as The Calculating Boy, Once a professor of mathematics asked him how many turns a wheel 5 feet 10 inches in circumference would make in 800,000,000 miles, He gave the correct answer in just under a minute. Equally astonishing was the feat performed . by a professor at the old Westminster Aquarium in 1896. Oneof the audience asked him to calculate in how many different ways the '52 cards in a pack could be dealt. After sitting for 18 minutes with his eyes closed, he gave his " answer: 53,644,737,765,488,- 792,839,237,440,000 d i f.f e r en t ways. This amazing array of figures was afterwards checked by an eminent mathematician and found to be correct. But this professor, like many other geniuses, was absent- minded and could never calcu- late his own pay! How To Foil A Bank Robber When Dillinger or the James boys swept into town, nobody had to tell a bank teller what to do — hit the floor and stay there, But in recent 'holdups, fast -shooting gangs have largely given ' way to lone amateurs ranging from a little old lady with a glass of acid (it turned cut to be water) to a frightened boy with a cap pistol, To advise its members on how to deal with the new breed of badmen, the American Bankers Association last month offered some tips in its "Protective Bul- letin." Sum of its advice; Train tellers to expect holdups, thus avoiding the, danger of panick- ing; take no risks, but, remember that a calm, or even amused, reaction will call many a ban. dit's blu'Ff. ,Such coolness, the ABA noted, can help turn •the growing tide of '"crimes of vio- lence" against banks (a record 431 last year cost $1.8 million), Some successful reactions, cited by the.ABA: A woman teller, faced by a 'robber threatening to use a gun, declared:. "Let's s'ee the gun. No gun', no money." "I'm a note teller. Go to .z paying' teller." A woman teller turned to e fellow worker, said matter-of- factly: "Sadie, I only cash checks, but this man wants money and he doesn't have •oil'. What do I do?" A male teller returned the bandit's glare, said menacingly: ."Get out before they carry you out." The ABA's conclusion: "In matters of intelligence, ingenu- ity, and bravery, robbers are not a superior lot, Given a fair break, bankers could beat the best of them."

In view of the new line that is to bo constructed shortly from Seaforth to ; Clinton it was agreed that the Feder- ! ation convene a meeting of the farm- ers affected and the township federa- tions in order that the land owners night have all available information In this same platter of land acqui- sition, the meeting agreed that the County Federation protest the propos- ed straightening of the bend at Auburn, , This road was only constructed some three years ago and it hardly seems reasonable that It is now obsolete.

'These are to- be distributed to each of the rural schools. Mrs, Vera Greig, vice-chairman of Ontario Farre Forum, reported on the Annual Convention held in Saskatoon. Due largely to the interest shown in this area in the farm programs and the TV Farm Forums, the CBC will be putting on more regular farm pro- grams ,in the near future. • Also it is. expected that their will be several private stations carrying the T -V Farm Forum next year, There was considerable discussion `on the Freight subsidy know being uaid on Western feed grain coming to On- tario, Many seem to feet, that this was of no benefit to the average farmer, hut was a special advantage, to the lar."e and -vertically integrated fee('er, It was agreed by the meeting -that this, nuestion should he taken back to the farmers in the townships, to learn the feeline of the producers.

Kennedy, rite time Premier of Ontario and longti.. e Con- servative minister of agriculture, cast a deep shadow over proceedings in the Legislature during the fourth week of this session. Although old in years, in experience, and in public service, Col- onel Tom was young in spirit and was the trusted adviser of many in high places and the respected counsellor of younger Legislature members; his standards and principles always had the respect and admiration of all. He will be greatly missed not only in his own community but throughout oun great province. Night sittings of the House commen- ced this week as members joined al- most to a man in the throne speech debate, while government leaders en- deavoured to make progress 'with ne- cessary lgislation. The committees of the House again were diligent in their duties and everyone was kept very busy. The annual convention of the Association of Rural Municipalities , meeting in Toronto brought here for it a large number of reeves and municl- pal officials who provided good au- diences in the IIotise, many delega- tions for ministers, and days and nights full of interviews for their mem- bers. Debate on the natural gas controver- sy, on the report of the select commit- tee on Labour and on the various bills introduced, continued with hunch vig- our and at great length, Announcement was also made by Prime I,linis- ter Frost that the budget would ue brought down the following week and everyone awaits its presentation as an Indication of the government's election year policy. Sessions of the committee on agri- culture and on Education provided many discussions of current problems and policies, Farm safety and farm marketing received the attention of the rural members, while Dean Diltz of the Ontario College of Education discussed at length the problems of teacher training and some of the steps being taken to ensure an adequate sup- uply of secondary school teachers for Ontario blah schools and collegiates. Among the throe° debate speeches two were worthy of comment. One by former Speaker W. J.

And yoti know what a flood a little bit of water makes on a waxed tiled floor. It took the two of us about fifteen minutes to mop it up. I didn't mind helping to clean up the mess but I was glad I didn't make it! As it was Partner had plenty to say -"These modern bouses-in the old farm kitchen you could spill a pail of water and hardly notice it!' The floor there was hardwood, but not polished, so it was used to the soap and water treatment. We are still skidding around on ice outside - except when we're paddling. Freeze and thaw, mild and bitter, And so it goes, The weather I mean - not the beverage. We make a bee -line for stores and bank every time we get a decent day, otherwise we are quite content to stay at home. Friday night Dee and family came in after shopping and brought me ,a few supplies, including rock salt which we had been trying to get for a week. Such a demand for it the stores had run out of supplies. It was our first experience with rock salt and Partner doesn't think it does as gooda job as the ordinary bulk salt we used to get for the cattle. Next time we are near a feed store we shall bring home a 75 pound bag. Then I suppose we won't have any more ice. Salt will keee any- way and it's good for putting out a fire - but heaven forbid that we should need it for that purpose. We have had a great time since Christmas catching up on little jobs that had been laid over until the new year. Partner made a binder -twine mat for Bob and a big wooden box, on casters, for Dee to keep the boys' small toys in. It has three partitions, one for David, Eddie and Jerry respectively and deep enough to make it difficult for Jerry to reach things by himself and thus scatter ..oys all over • the floor. However, I wouldn't be surprised to hear he had over-balnaced and was found standing on his head in the box. That little fel- low can get into more mischief than the other two put together. And of course he has the most innocent expression. I have been going through a lot of stuff stacked away in the basement - magazines, papers, notebooks and scrapbook. One day we had a visitor here who does quite a bit of free-lance writing and she wanted to know If I had any information on a Favorite Handcraft faune,Wkeg, Use these gay Swedish designs for quick bazaar items . . to -les, potholders, bags, mats. e:o simple, even a child can hetp with this handcraft, Pat- tern 566: charts, directions for weaving 4 different designs on huck.

I thought I had so off I went to the basement and brought up two big cartons of brown envelopes, marked as to contents. When she saw the boxes she laughed, "You too," she exclaimed. "How my hus- band does go on about all the paper clippings and articles that I collect." I knew exactly what she meant as the same situation exists in our family. Partner is almost afraid to use a news- paper to light the fire unless he asks me about it first. Or maybe he forgets and I almost yell at him - "Don't burn that - it has an article in it on bird- houses . . or on training dogs or time saving recipes" - or whatever I happened to be inter- ested in at the moment.. But I must admit the clippings do have a way of accumulating so it becomes absolutely neces- sary to go through them occa- sionally. It is a job that can run into days - or even weeks - depending upon how absorbed one gets. And there is knitting - TV pick-up work I call it. Outgrown sweaters and socks are ripped out and re -knitted into mitts and small blankets, using two strands of contrasting wool for addi- tional strength. Wool from baby sweaters starts life again as baby socks, only one strand of wool being used. Incidentally, play mitts from used wool are far more satisfactory than any made from new wool, The used yarn, already washed and shrunken, does not mat when washed. My non -knitting neighbours have caught on to what I am do- ing and bring me their old hand - knitted garments instead of throwing them into the garbage. And thoy feel well repaid when, in time, I present them with mitts for the children. Quilt tops is something else I have on the go. How do I get the time to do it all? Well, for one thing I am a fast worker - and I also have a dishwasher. No, no - not one of those elec- trical things. This one is human and goes by the name of Part- ner. So you see my husband is really a partner in the true sense of the word and lives up to the name I gave him years ago. There are times when I would rather do the dishes myself but I let it ride - except when I've been baking. Then I do get them done myself - it saves a lot of explaining. I know I would hear - "What did you make all these dishes dirty for - can't you do a bit of baking without all this mess?" 'So - washing the dishes myself is the easiest in the long run. Your Mannerisms Can Be Important Science is watching our man- nerisms. Experts who have just concluded an extensive probe into the gestures of hundreds of men and women declare that they reveal a person's character and feelings more effectively than anything else. "Keep an eye on your manner- isms and gestures and you'll learn to know yourself and other people much better," they advise. Scientific study of gestures shows that they fall naturally into two classes. "Any downward movement of the head, hands, arms or eye- lids expresses dislike or con- tempt," states one scientist who checked up on 500 men and 500 women in different walks of life. "Any upward movement us- ually expresses admiration or pleasure." He says there are a few ex- ceptions to this, but they only serve to prove the rule. For in- stance, there's a way of raising the eyebrows which expresses a sneer, but then a sneer is really a compliment which is meant to be understood as an insult, the scientist adds. A sneer, too, is deliberate whereas the gestures which real- ly tell tales are always made without deliberation. One of 'the experts tells of a pretty girl who, although still in her early twenties, has deep little furrows running down one side of her face because of her nervous mannerism of constant- ly screwing up her mouth. "Another attractive girl I know. would be much more at- tactive if she shortened her laugh," he suggests. "She opens her mouth far too widely and this mars her looks. It?s a mis- take, too, for 'a girl to try to smile continuously -and talk ,,at the same time. Sriles are not always lovely. Constant is practiced by some film and TV stars in the' United States. often takes away character from a girl's face." One girl who was interviewed during the investigation confess- ed that her harsh, uncontrolled laugh lest her a husband. She had become engaged but one evening her fiance told her frankly that he found her laugh intolerable -and broke the en- gagemen t. "We believe that many a girl has missed a chance of marriage because of her synthetic and obviously insincere smile," re- port the scientists. fo. Is Your Child Safe On A School Bus? KIDS' DAY - School bus operator Harold J. Taylor, of Ira, Vt., places new, and quite appropriate, license plates on his bus. He is assisted by daughters Karen, left, and Pamela. Taylor requested and received the special plates from the state's motor vehicle department. During this school year, an estimated 400,000 Canadian ele- mentary and secondary school pupils will be driven an estimat- ed 70 million miles to arid from their classrooms. Their safety will mainly de- pend on three things; the skill and judgment of the schciol bus driver; the mechanical condition of his vehicle; and the conduct of the children themselves get- ting on and off the bus and dur- ing the actual travel. Yet it's a shocking fact that, in the words of Fred Ellis, general manager, Ontario Safety League, "Many communities are apathetic to these elementary safety factors." Fortunately, to date there have been very few school, bus tra- gedies in Canada.' But as high- way travel conditions become more hazardous our luck may not hold out. The number of accidents in recent years involv- ing school vehicles should serve as a stern warning. During the last six months of 1956 in On- tario, for example, there were 31 accidents. British Columbia had 27 accidents in 1957 - oran average of nearly three per month over the 10 -month school year. No statistics are available /or all Canada. The irony of the situation is that safety experts know what precautions must be taken to prevent large vehicles, from be- coming involved in accidente. The trucking industry follows their advice eagerly with the re- sult that commercial truck driv- ers have an impressive safet:, record. On the other hand, many school administrators fail to fol- low the truckers' example. One can only conclude that many communities attach more im- portance to delivering a carload of furniture or a tankful of milk than they do to transporting their children safely. Some recent accidents empha- size this point. Near Orono, Ont., a bus carrying 14 high school students stalled while going up u hill and started rolling back- wards. The brakes failed and the bus rolled over an embank- ment. Four of the children were injured. There would likely have • been many more injuries had the vehicle gone over a much deeper drop nearby. There's a good chance that the inefficient engine and the defective brakes might have been detected before the accident, had the bus been undergoing routine mechanical checks. The school bus •inspec- tion system in Ontario has been improved since then, but in some provinces many school busee estill go several years without a thorough mechanical check. In the Mundare district in Alberta a seven-year-old girl alighted from a school bus and walked in front of it to cross to the other side of the highway. As she was doing so, she stooped over to pick up e book she had dropped. At that instant the driver - who couldn't see her - pulled ahead ' and crushed her to death. Satety officials have long advocated the necessity of escorting children on and oil -buses and helping them across the road, - On a school bus near London, student passengers were shooting hard paper pellets at one another with rubber bands. One of the pellets hit a 16 -year- old girl in the eye. She may permanently lose the sight of the eye. The difficulty of controlling young children at all times Is known to every parent. But on '3 moving vehicle such control is essential. Every authoritative article or booklet dealing with spre school transportation em- phsizes this point. One sertion of the 56 -page Safety Handbook rublished by the American Auto mobile Association shows how order and discipline can be main- tained by school bus patrols. In Saskatchewan, a school bus driver was fired after a formal road test showed that he was incapable of handling the job His was not a rare case. Con- trary to the advice of safety ex- perts, a man can become a school bus driver in any one of several provinces without a stiff medical examination and without know- ing much about driving a bus, In investigating the safety of our school transportation in Can- ada, I questioned police, safety experts, and provincial education and highway officials. 1 posed these questions: Are we doing all we can do to protect our children? Are we ignoring ha- zards that could be removed? • What are the greatest danger •points in our present school transportation systems? Their answers give cause for both optimism and pessimism. The cheerful news is that many school authorities are fully aware of the 'school bus safety problem and are meeting it with vigor and imagination, generous- ly back by dollars; others are becoming aware of the hazards and are organizing to meet them. On the gloomy side, I found that in many parts of Canada the full nature of the problem Is not yet realized and that very little is being done. In some localities, considerations other than safety -such as local politics or the de- sire to save a few dollars - are being given priority. The most important figure in sale school transportation is the man who drives the bus. The National Safety Council likens him "to a ship's captain or an airline. pilot because precious human lives depend on his ex- perience, skill and judgment" Yet the sad fact is thrt too often the employment of the school bus driver is made on a casual basis. It's often a part- time job taken on by a person who works in a garage, in a store, on a farm or on shift work. The health of the driver is an. Important factor, yet only a few provinces, such as Alberta and Nova Scotia, 'insist on annual medical certificates. A mature age is also important, that's why the National Safety Council sets 21 as the minimum age for a bus driver - advice that's followed by at least 18 American states. In most Canadian provinces, a youth of 18 can get the job. A candidate's temperament and his attitude toward children are also important considerations. In the opinion of W. Arch Bryce, secre- •lary of the Canadian Highway Safety, Conferonce, "Dangerous hooliganisni on • many buses is the direct result of a careless hiring attitude by boards of edu- cation. When a wrong choice is made, there's trouble ahead." In practically every part of Canada, school bus drivers lack adequate training in the opera- tion of a heavy vehicle. A typi- cal new driver holds only a chauffeur's license and has ex- perience only with passenger cars. But is this qualification enough? Most trucking com- panies think not. They require all their new drivers - even if they've held a chauffeur's license for 20 years - •to take a long, intensive course in handling heavy vehicles before taking regular runs on the highway. For the same reason, Wallace N. Hyde, director of motor vehicles, North Carolina, says, "The per- son with a good record driving an ordinary car will not neces- sarily make a safe and efficient school bus driver." For one thing, there's quite a difference between carrying two or three young passengers in a family car and carrying several dozen lively - if not rowdy - youngsters who are temporarily free of any parental or teacher discipline. There is also a whale of a physi- cal difference between a 55 pas- senger conveyance and the or- dinary family car. For example, at 25 moll a passenger car will stop in 25 feet; a bus needs 40 feet. You need more space to take a turn with a bus and you have to take it more slowly A driver needs many hours behind the wheel of a big vehicle to get the hone of the transmission. Re- cently one Canadinn bus dealer received a complaint from a • driver that the clutch was al- ways wearing out. The dealer went for a ride with the driver and was amazed to find that he - was thoroughly unfamiliar with the transmission. He knew little or nothing about how to use the six -speed gear shift which was intended to give greater control ening up or down hills and in slirseery weather. The indifference of many school boards often adds tio to the inefficiency of the bus driv- ers. A Saskatchewan safety of- ficial told me, "Many school bus drivers feel that nobody is in. terested in what they're doing, Fn they beceme eareless." Fred Fills of the Ontario Safety Learme adds, "There's no incent- ive for the gond school bus driver." In contrast, • in many parts of the country commercial truck drivers with good records ere given cash bonuses, feted at hanauets •and sent away on courses to improve their status, What can be done to ensure that our children are not entrust- ed to unqualified drivers? First and foremost, we should be much stricter in the qualifications re - (mired for school bus drivers. The state of Pennsylvania has laid down a list of criteria now widely approved by safety au- thorities in Canada and the Unit- ed States. It says that the driver should be at least 21 years of age and in .excellent health. Each year, he should be teeted for vision, hearing, muscular ,steadi- ness and strength, fast reaction time and freedom from physical conditions which might make him faint, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and epilepsy. Psvcholoeical tests should estab- lish that he's a stable, self-disci- plined and patient person. A number of highly regarded local citizens who know him should attest to the fact that he's a per- son of good habits. (Continued Next Week) .,f Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q.

ISSUE 9 - 1959 RECOGNIZE THE BLONDE? - If you don't know who the blonde is at right, it's bc:ause you're used to seeing her as a brunette. Scphia Loren, known for her dark, sultly loc!c, lett, wears her hair blonde for part in "Heller With a Cun", a western. • Pear - Shaped ? A pretty brunette mathemati- cian, a man-made moon, and one of the nation's top mappers con- tributed to a new picture of the earth recently - a shape quite different from the classroom globe, Mother earth, the American Physical Society was told by John A. O'Keefe, a NASA geo- desist, is "slightly pear-shaped, with the narrow end in the Arc- tic and the broad base in the Antarctic." This revolutionary profile was first traced by the Vanguard satellite launched last March, Ann Eckles, a 24 -year-old gra- duate with the Naval Research Laboratory, noticed a peculiar fact in her routine computations of the Vanguard orbit: When the satellite orbited closest (405 miles) to earth, it dipped down about 2,5 miles over the North- ern Hemisphere, and rose 2,5 miles over the Southern. According to Dr. O'Keefe, this dipsy-doodle course was caused by the pull of gravity, To ac- count for this, he concluded, the earth ' must hump out some 50 feet at the North Pole, yanking at the satellite with that much more downward gravity tug. The South Pole, on the other hand, Is 50 feet flatter than previously calculated. At the same time, sea levels in the North Temperate Zone are 25 feet lower, but those in the south are a cor- responding amount higher than believed. This may be man's first clue that the earth is made of stern- er stuff than geologists had dreamed. The earth is constantly whirling on its ails. If its inter- ior were soft and plastic, the whirling (like a potter's wheel) would help mold the outer shell Into a smooth sphere. The pear shape, however, indicates an underpinning stiff enough to support the added stress of a polar bulge. Making Light Of His Troubles Although a car accident in 1942 left him without legs and a crushed spine, Buddy Koster, of Chicago, has not let it inter. fere with his ambitions in life. At the time of the crash he had a thriving electrical sign busi- ness in the city for which he had big plans. After the acci- dent he sOent 15 years lying flat on .his stoma& in hospital. •When he was -discharged last year Koster started to get or- ganized again. Every night, after the has returned home from her job as a telephone supervisor, Mrs. Koster drives with her hus- band around the local shops and factories. She writes down the names of places where the neon ligns are faulty or out of order. The next day Koster drops emit firm a card pointing out the trouble and offering his services as an electrical neon expert. He gets around in a wheelchair for the various -jobs. "The way I look at it," he says, "If a guy really wants to do something, nothing can stop him If he sets his mind to it," BACKACHE May beWarning Backache is often caused by lazy Adam action..

Pint -Size .Parking - For Small Cars While Detroit hesitates on the brink of all-out production of small economy cars, the western United tSates and notably the West Coast have in considerable degree already accepted tiny im- ports as part of the regular way of life. A notable demonstration may be seen in several of the largest and newest public parking gar- ages. Architects of these have utilized all manner of odd -sized spaces for special marking, "Sports Cars Only," The result is that such spaces can accommodate two vehicles instead of one, or three instead of two. At certain places along walls it is feasible to accommo- dat e an occasional small car where otherwise no parking could be laid out. Evidently the garage owners weren't precisionists in their "sport car" markings because the clear intention is to accommo- date any sort of small vehicle. There are more so-called "econo- my cars" fitting such spaces - than "sports cars" and as a matr' ter of fact even the sports car enthusiasts never have agreed on a definition for their pets. "Any car in which one can enjoy sport is a sports car," says the most liberal of the defini- tions. This could take in any- thing, presumably, Some of the larger sports cars such as Fer- rari of Italy and Aston -Martin of England would really crowd the new small "sports car" stalls in which a Volkswagen or a Renault, economy -size but not primarily for sport, fit with room to space. (The definition of sports car most generally ac- cepted is that it is a smallish two - seater carrying bumpers, windshields, and • other street equipment, fit to use for super- market shopping but also ca- pable on occasion of competing In races yvith some chance to win in its class as defined by cylinder displacement.) There is talk of making spe- cial • financial inducement in parking small cars but the big garages thus far providing espe- cially for them run into this snag: They're of the new "park. yourself" type, where one takes a time -slip on , entry and pays against the elapsed time on de- parture, The owner does most of the work himseH with a mini- mum of contact with gar age personnel - and if he has an imported car with usually four. speed manual gearshift, he pre- fers it that way, But it doesn't provide any easy way to offer a special price concession to him. writes Randall Gould in The Christian Science Monitor. Where he sometimes scores is. in paelcing on the open street. Many of the small imports are so short that two can fit within the space covered by a single parking meter. The writer re- cently participated in a com- plete hy unarranged scenario where four bobtailed little ve- hicles were ranged in line along the curb space controlled by but two meters. Obviously only one driver is likely to "feed the meter" in such case, but which driver? Po- lice or •"meter maids" have no way of telling when they come along, and if they ticket one car they may be trying to punish the driver who paid. The situa- tion could be really perplexing In case of concerted effort by several "mini- car" operators, especially with the type of car that can be faced in to the curb and its door opened directly on the, sidewalk without any rear - end projection beyond a space representing the width of the now -normal American car •Tests have shown that the length of one of the longest American cars.•' ' equals the combined withds of four such mini -cars, Just how small the reported- ly impending "big three" small cars will be when they roll out of Detroit is still a question. Figures have mostly dealt with wheelbase measurement in the forecasts, this being apparently planning within the 100 -110 -inch range which would be about a foot to a foot and a half under the prevailing average through o n e Cadillac, t h e Eldorado Brougham, is listed at a magni- ficent 156 inches. European im- ports mostly range within the 80's and 90's. But overhang is important and presumably Detroit will be fru- gal in this respect as is• already evident in American • Motors' Rambler and Studebaker's Lark, as with the small cars built overseas by United States subsi- diaries and imported her e in ever-increasing numbers. While domestic small cars are likely to be big enough to require one full parking meter space -apiece, they undoubtedly will help solve traffic congestion and occupy much less space in garages pub- lic and private. Doors of many private garages will close again for the first time in several years. • • :• CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING : . AGENTS WHAT HAVE YOU TO SELL? MANUFACTURERS agents for &slot. chewan.
