"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 19
now, and everybody thinks I'm
a nice girl, but it is all on the
surface. Down deep I am sinful
and hateful and just downright
no good.
"When my father died I was
sent to my grandmother. She

I r. n off with a man who was
mt.:lied, which I didn't find out
for 10 months . , , I left him right
aw::y, and my baby was born
later, He never knew I had one.
"I came home to my mother
and stepfather. My mother sim-
ply hates me, and accuses me of
being no good. If I ever do get
out for a date I've got to be in
by 10:30!
"I have met a very fine young
man, and I think I'm in love, but
she refuses to let him come to
the house and if he calls up she
won't let me talk to him. I've
met his parents, though, and they
are sweet to me. He likes my
baby, and I believe he cares for
me. (I've told all my friends I
am divorced.)
"I have lived through all the
torment I intend to stand. Doesn't
anyone ever stop paying? I have
no one else to turn to, and I'm
afraid to make any decision my-
self. Anne Hirst, please tell me
what to do! DESPERATE"

THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE
"Dear Anne HIrst: Quite a
while ago I wrote you of my pre-
dicament, and I've tried to do
everything you told me. Nothing
has happened, There doesn't seem
to be a single 'nice man in the'
church I attend. I've talked to all
my friends, and they don't know
any they can introduce. I'm get-
ting 'desperate.
"I had one bad marriage, as
you know, and I suffered a lot.
I got to thinking there were no
good men left, that they only
wanted women who go to road-
houses, etc. I've always had a
good name and I intend to keep
it.
"I know you are not running a
marriage bureau, but you don't
seem to realize how hard it is to
meet the right sort of men. I
think God meant us all to enjoy
the company of the opposite sex
I hope other girls aren't
having the trouble I am;
MARGIE"
* You would be amazed to
• know how many nice young
* women have had the same dis-
* couraging experience. Those
* who write me seem the sort
* who would make good wives,
• yet months pass and not a
• single eligible male gives them
• a second glance, Sometimes I
• think some men are just plain
• stupid to let talented and de-
* lightful women live another
* year alone.
• Has it occurred to you to
• branch out among other groups
• and find new friends? I mean
• women as well as men. If one
• is warm hearted and kind, this
• shouldn't be impossible, and
• through them you may meet

• what your community offers,
• and make your choice though-

action will be especially as one
,day we were looking through a

page I said - —"Look, Ross,
there's Mummy — and baby,"
He gave the pictures a perfunc-
tory glance, then turned the
pages quickly to the toy sec-
tion. "Tr u c k ... there's a
truck!" he exclaimed delight-
edly, as .much as to say, "Now,

As we grow older we forget

leave a wee toddler alone for
a minute. The last day Ross
was here I went out to the gar-
age for my car keys. When 1
came back I could neither see

not a,' sign of him anywhere,
Then I heard a slight ,sound.
I 'found him . in the cup-

We spent Easter Sunday in
Toronto with daughter and fa-
mily. We welcomed the change
It was nice to get away from
the sound of sump pump and
pressure system, We discovered
that the reason our sump pump
has been going most of the time
for the 'last three week: is be-
cause the eavetrough outlet be-
low the ground is frozen solid
so the water was just circulat-
ing aroand the house. Hearing
the pump every little while to
annoying . , . not hearing it is
worse! That is what happened
one night. I woke up and lis.
tened. No sound of a pump
working, or of trickling water.
1 went down to investigate
without waking Partner. The
pump had blown a fuse. 1, put
in a fresh one but even then
the pump refused to function
So I had to- wake Partner after
L11, Between us we got it going
again. Later it blew another
fuse, There was just one an-
swer — dirt in the pit getting
into the pump, We spent the
afternoon cleaning it out, Part-
ner down in the pit, 1 carrying
the water and sludge away,
Since then we haven't had any
trouble. But It started us think-
ing about the inconvenience' of
modern conveniences and the
necessity of a certain amount of
do -it -yourself -know-how if one
is to make the best use of the
joys of modern living.
On the farm the cellar used
to flood occasionally but there
was natural drainage and it
eventually took care of- itself.
The septic tank had been in use
for ten years- without giving
any trouble. The pressure sys-
tem didn't_ have the force be
hind it that we have here but
it was adequate for our needs.
But the hydro service, I. admit,
was far less efficient than what
we have here. As far as we
know the power has been off
only twice in two years in this
district. And 'then for not more
than ten minutes. We think that
is quite remarkable. And here's
' hoping its good' record con-
tinues, When the , hydro falls'
almost everything gives up the

'would hate to be without.
Detergent Foam
Causes Trouble
Don't be fooled by the foam!
There's .a difference between
cleansing suds and the residue
from modern detergents.
I! you use a modern deter-
gent instead of an old-fashioned
t y p e of cleansing agent, you
may Innocently contribute to a
problem ' that has . increasingly
perplexed waste -disposal plants
throughout the world. '
That problem is excessive
foaming, caused by modern
cleansing materials that are
synthetic detergents. Such ma-
terials have a molecular make-
up . that resists the valuable
"breakdown" ' action from bil-
lions of bacteria acting upon
waste to purify and remove it
at disposal plants.
Most waste -disposal plants
• depend upon a system of treat-
ment known as activated
sludge, in which bacteria na-
turally present in water and
soil break down the molecu.e:s
in waste. When this action is
retarded,_ or missing, excessive
foaming action results, Waves
of ugly foam rise rapidly, caus-
ing bad odours and unsightly
conditions,
\To overcome such foaming ac-
tion, plants must use more men,
add expensive equipment and
maintain constant precautions
to prevent mountains of foam
from accumulating. Foaming
has been on the increase since
World War II, because use of
synthetic detergents — known
as "syndets" by chemists and
engineers — has increased
greatly.
Fortunately, however, after
several years of research, and
some practical application of
basic engineering principles,
scientists at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology have
developed a method that may
solve' this worldwide problem.
The 'process is called "side
flow," and is essentially the re-
sult of long laboratory : experi-
ments, plus a relatively simple
change in the engineering sys-
tems at waste -disposal plants.
The main testing site is a mo-
dern sewage -disposal plant In
Cranston, R.I., where the pro-
cess has been in use since last
November. Results to date are
good, but the tests will continue
for at least six months more
before final evaluations are
made,

Wrote The First
Detective Story
Thriller writers all over , the
world are paying tribute this
year: to the strange genius who
wrote the first detective story
thriller, "The Murders In The
Rue Morgue," the valuable
n snuscript of which a few years
ago was sold for $25,000,
Edgar Allan Poe was the man
who wrote this masterpiece of
logical reasoning, in which the
murderer proves to be an ape.
It was the. forerunner of all other
detective stories.
Poe is being specially remem-
bered in 1959 because he was
born at Boston, Massachusetts,
150 years ago.
The life of this master • of the
horrific was as sensational as
any of his bizarre thrillers and
tales of mystery.
Drink, drugs and debt were his
"three dogging demons," as one
expert on Poe and his works has
called' them. They helped to ruin
him. So did his many frantic flir-
tations and love affairs, all of
which ended unhappily.
Take a look at this brilliant
but strangely proportioned man
with the sallow face, the high,
abnormallY1 wide forehead, the
brooding, deep-set eyes and the
sensitive mouth. It is -easy to
understand why, women found
him attractive.
He had a morbid imagination
and a taste for the gruesome and
the ghastly. He was irritable and
capricious, He was rebellious,
and while a cadet at the West
Point Military Academy was ex-
pelled because he disobeyed or-
ders. But he was capable of in-
tense love as he proved when
he married his pretty cousin Vir-
ginia, He was then twenty-seven
and striving to become a famous
writer.
She was only fourteen — a
child -wife. She ha a slim figure,
straight hair, candid eyes and a
pink and white complexion. But
she was delicate. Her moody,
nervous husband idolized her.
They were practically penni-
less and often close to starvation.
At ,one time their circumstances
were so wretched that they were
reduced to living in one little
room with ho fire, Their only
furniture was a bed of straw with
a counterpane and two sheets,
On cold days' Poe would wrap
his frail little: wife in his over-
coat and then place their cat on
her to help keep her warm as she
lay, slowly dying of consumption;
Virgina died in January, 1847,
Bo great was the shock of losing
her that Poe sank into a state of
semi -torpor, He wished to die.
One night a cemetery keeper
found him moaning piteously,
half -frozen, on his wife's grave.
By a big effort of will he ral-
lied and tried to forget his sor-
row in work. Despite their mis-
ery his marriage to -Virgina had
enabled him to find some of the
peace he sought in contrast to
the sinister nightmare of his
thoughts when he drank too
much or took opium.
Weird, macabre_ stories con-
tinued to flow from' his pen in
spite of his recurring fits of de-
pression. He became a master of
the art'. of short -story writing.
So well 'dld he write that there
are critics to -day who declare

that his:.,works have no counter-
part in English or any other lan-
guage because of their ingenuity
of plot and ability to chill read-
ers' spines,
One of his most exciting
stories, 'The Tell -Tale Heart," is
a masterpiece of suspense. It des-
cribes how a mad servant mur-
ders his aged master, dismem-
bers the body and conceals it be-
neath the floorboards,
While police question him
closely, his guilty fears cause
the maniac to imagine that he
hears the loud, insistent beating
of his victim's heart, This be-
comes so unbearable that in a
final agony of terror the mur-
derer screams his confessions,
Mystery and horror themes
drew Poe like a magnet. How he
revelled in writing grim tales of
ghostly -haunted tombs, murder,
shipwreck, premature burial and
revenge!
His haunting poem "The
Raven" caused a sensation when
it was first published in January,
1845, It is about a lover who is
lamenting his lost mistress when
a raven comes and perches on
a bust in his chamber. He thinks
it is supernatural and that its
' frequently repeated answer
"Nevermore" 'to his frantic ques-
tions echoes the voice of his dead'
mistress.
Some readers have declared
that the poem's haunting refrain
caused them to. have nightmares
in which the raven always ap-
peared.
Poe received only $10 for the
poem, Yet when the manuscript
was sold some quarter of a cen-
tury ago it fetched $60,000.
What influenced Poe to write
so much that makes people's flesh
creep? Some experts who have
studied his terror tales closely
say all those murders, tombs and
eerie vaults about reflect his con-
stant longing for death because
of his miserable life and harrow-
ing boyhood, for he was left an
orphan before his third birthday.
Others think that the grisly
tales of spooks and graveyards
told him by . sailormen in his
fouth inspired some of his most
antastic plots.
Exactly how Poe spent his last
days is not known, One story is
that while travelling to Balti-
more in ' 1840 he fell into the
hands of a gang of ruffians who
were in search of accomplices or
victims,
"It was an electioneering day
for a 'member of Congress, and
Poe was carried by his captors
into an electioneering den, where
he was drugged with whisky,'
the story runs.
"With -other victims he was
then dragged from. polling sta-
. tion to polling station and forced
to vote for a particular candidate
whoseticket was, placed in his
hand." •
As a thriller writer Poe could
hardly have imagined a more.
macabre story .than that half-
conscious tour of the polling sta-
tions to imporsonate voters—and
its sequel. . ,
After the election the gang left
him to die in the streets. He was
dead drunk when somebody
picked him up from a gutter and
took him to a hospital, where he
died shortly afterwards on Octo-
ber 7th, 1849,in his forty-flrst
year,
"Is this a healthy town?" in-
quired the home -seeker of a local
resident.
"Yes, certainly," was the an-
swer, "When I.came here I hadn't
the strength to utter a word; I
had scarcely a hair on my head;
I couldn't walk across the room,
and I had to be lifted from my
bed,",
"You give me hope!" cried the
home -seeker with " enthusiasm,
"I-Io1v long have you lived here?"
"1 was born here," replied the
native.
Omar — After A
Hundred Years
As of March 31 the most fam-
ous poem in the English tongue
on the subjects of agnosticism
and wine bibbing had been in
publication for 100 years, On that
date, a handsome centennial edi-
tion of Edward FitzGerald's
"Rub?iiyat" was published by the
Colby College Press in Maine,
In 100 years, unnumbered
copies of the "Rubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam" have been sold — cer-
tainly more than a million - and
the market is still booming.
Among leading U.S. publishers
of the poem, Pocket Books re-
ported 330,000 sales between 1941
and 1953; Books, Inc., has sold
some 76,000 copies in eighteen
successive printings, and Double-
day has sold about 107,000 copies
since 1946.
For more than two year after
the poem first appeared in Eng-
, land in 1859, heralded by only
two minuscule advertisements,
'net a single copy was sold. In
1881, a Celtic scholar named.
Whitley Stokes picked up the
"Rubaiyat" on a bookstall and
flared with excitement, He pre-
sented a copy to the poet Dante
Gabriel Rossetti, who alerted the
poets Robert Browning and Al-
gernon Charles, Swinburne and
thereby others. Copies reached
Ralph Waldo Emerson and James
Russell Lowell in America,
What aroused the interest and
admiration of all these men was
a wonderfully inventive and
musically magical rendering of
the eleventh -century Persian
poet -astronomer. Omar's senti-
ments were bound to appeal. to
FitzGerald. A son of Suffolk
-gentility, he had gone to Cam-
bridge and soon retired to Suf-
folk again, to a life of warm
friendships, books, music, gar-
denings, and depressing religious
doubts. His scholarly friend Ed-
ward Cowell described him as
"a kind of slumbering giant, or
silent Vesuvius." It was Cowell
who led him to Omar, and in
1857 FitzGerald wrote that
"Omar breathes a sort of consola-
tion to me!" Two years later — a
full 29 years after he ' had left,
the university FitzGerald, at
50, offered that consolation to
the English-speaking world,

He sat back to await results.

Woven Dreams
Hung on Walls
In the village of Aubusson
amid the quiet, green hills of
Central France, an old weaver
bends over an eighteenth -century
oak loom set in a corner of \a
musty workshop. With his feet,
the weaver nimbly operates two
pedals controlling the loom's
tautly stretched warp. With his
fingers, he deftly maneuvers
one of the loom's many bobbins,
first pulling it over one warp,
then pushing it under the next.
As he labors, a brilliantly col-
ored tapestry slowly takes shape
on the loom, The old man pauses,
steps back from his work, looks
at it closely, and says softly:
"It's a dream to be hung on a
wall,"
On both sides of the Atlantic
last month, gallery -goers were
having their first look at some
of the best of the weaver's art.
In Paris, a dozen bold designs
by the late Fernand Leger went
on exhibit at the Maison de la
Pensee Francaise. The Leger
.tapestries, filled with solid
blocks of primary colors, have
the same feeling of solid strength
which fills the late artist's can-
vases, But while Leger consider-
ed tapistry-making "a caprice, a
fantasy," to his fellow country-
man Le Corbusier, it is 'modern
man's ideal work of art." The
architect is one of 21 designers
represented in the first compre-
hensive exhibit of modern tapis-
tr'ies in America now on display
at, New York's Museum of Con -
"temporary Crafts,
Besides a happy inspiration by
Le Corbusier, the New York
show features three forceful
tapestries by Mathieu Mategot,
48, leader of a school of young
abstrationists, and two sumptu-
ous works by Jean Unseat, 66,
who spearheaded the tapestry
revival two decades ago,
It was Lurcat who introduced
the major innovations that have
given modern tapestries some-
thing of their medieval splen-
dor. These involved working
from original designs, using a
coarser weave and fewer colors
than in the ornate Victorian
style of the last century. "Tapes-
try," says Lurcat, "is putting art
in touch with its traditional
handicraft sources."
The link to the great artisans
of the Middle Ages lies in the
weavers' painstaking technique
which has scarcely changed since
A NEW LIFE — Actress Diane
Varsi, 21, has ended her star-
ring career by leaving Holly-
wood for Bennington, Vt.
Known as a rebellious "female
Jimmie Dean," she quit the
glamorous acting world be-
cause she thought it was des-
troying her,
A PUPPET THAT BLOWS bubbles and a wall oven patterned after mother's are two of the
new toys offered this year to entice youngsters. •
the days when medieval bishops
and barons hung tapestries to
keep the chill out of their drafty
churches and castles, As in the
golden age of tapestry -making
four cenuries ago, the looms are'
still made by hand. Even - wool -
dyeing remains a laborious pro-
cess (the threads for Picasso's
first tapestry design were dyed
ten consecutives times to obtain
the exact shade required), Be-
cause of all the delicate work
that goes into even an ordinary
tapestry, the average weaver

Nevertheless, ,some 500 French
tapestry makers are busier now
than they have been in genera-
tions, Since the postwar revival
of the age-old craft, thousand:
upon thousands of tapestries
have come off French looms.
Despite the relatively high price
(a 10 -square -foot section fetches
between $300 and $500), many of
the smaller pieces have been
snapped up by private collectors.
Larger items have gone to banks,
churches, businesses, and other

Lucky Cough
Charles Hall of Harlowton,
Montana, can talk freely now,
because of what he considers a
miraculously lucky cough, As a
marine, he fought with Ameri-
can troops in the invasion of
Guam in 1944, and was wounded
in the throat,
Medical officers said his wound
was caused by a shrapnel graze.
Nothing, so far as they could dis-
cover, had actually penetrated
his throat. But recently he felt
a huge lump there, coughed, and
into his mouth popped a one -
inch Japanese bullet!
Unknowingly, he had carried
this souvenir inside his neck for
fifteen years: Now, having got
rid of that ticklish feeling, he Is
a thoroughly happy man — all
because of a cough.
YOU'VE GOT IT RIGHT — No, the picture isn't upside-down,
the man is. Wearing magnetic shoes at the Wright Air Develoo-
ment Center, Dayton, Ohio, he is testing problems of weight-
lessness that could be encountered in space travel,

Here is a recipe for caramel
fudge which has more than one
use as it can "double" as a cake,
frosting or as an ice cream
sauce. And it is equally good no
matter which way you use it.
CARAMEL FUDGE
• 1 cup sugar
n/z cup warm water
2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
?A teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecans or Brazil nuts
Combine 2 cups sugar with 1
cup milk in a large saucepan
and start simmering, Caramelize
1 cup sugar in a heavy pan or
skillet. Do not stir much, but
watch closely to avoid burning.
When melted and brown in col-
or, add a little warm water and
stir. Do this 2 or 3 times until
syrup is simmering , gently and
all of the hard caramel is melted
off the bottom of • the pan. Add
some milk and sugar syrup 2
or 3 times. Turn caramel.mix-
ture into the white syrup pan;
proceed as for fudge. Cook to
soft ball stage. Remove from
fire; add butter and salt, Cool
to room temperature; beat with
electric mixer until gloss be-
gins to dull, (If it firms up too
fast, add a little light cream).
Stir in vanilla and nuts and turn
into 7x7 -inch pan. Mark into
squares.
Note: To make sauce for ice
cream, take mixture from heat
at soft ball stage, add salt but ,
omit butter. Cool somewhat and
stir In 1 cup light cream, stir-
ring only enough to mix. Store
at room temperature.

Got Hay Fever? Live In A Cave!
By WARD CANNEL
NEA Staff Corespondent
New York — (NEA) — In an-
swer to many questions from all
over the country, It can be re-
portect conclusively -that a little
progress is being made against
the scourge of spring and sum-
mer — hay fever,
Here are some of the most fre-
quently asked' questions by hay
fever sufferers; and answers from
leading authorities in the field
on this mighty battle of man
against nature.
Q. I hear there's a one -shot -in -
the -arm treatment that' cures
allergy.' -Why are they hiding it
from us?
A. Doctors are watching this
new therapy very closely, accord-
ing to Dr. Charles D, Marple,
director of the Allergy Founda-
tion of America, Right now, how
ever, it is still in the control stage
because the dose is so stiff it
could be,
Q. Sure. Sure, I got ,the same
pussyfoot song -and -dance about
cortisone and ACTH. And I know
they work like magic.
A. The • corticosteroids on
have serious side effects, accord-
ing to Dr. A, H, Fineman, one
of New York's leading allergists,
Effects sometimes 'more serious
than the condition they relieve.
Happily, however, we are begin-
ning to learn more about . .
Q. Beginning to learn? It there
anything you know?
A, Antihistamines are much
more effective today than they
were even a year ago, There is
a tremendous range to choose
from — literally hundreds of , ,
Q. Listen, Just because you
can't pronounce the name of the
drug doesn't mean it's a miracle.
I got an idea they pick those
names for the pyschological
effect.
A. There is no denyingthe
emotional factor in allergy, ac-
cording to Dr, Marple. Your state
of mind can certainly
Q. You guys make me sick. You
see a kid with asthma and right
away you want to psychoanalyze
him.
A,` On the contrary. Asthmatic
.children are often simply' re-
moved to a healthier climate and
their parents are given the psy-
chotherapy, Science has found , , ,
Q. You guys make me sick.
A, For severe hayfever cases,
the usual, ,long-term series of in-
jections is still most effective and
sometimes leads to life-long de-
sensitization.. A, sea trip during
the hayfever season is good, too,
because it removes from the .

Twenty' Hours .
Of Terror ,
For the Baldwin family of
South Charleston, W. Va,, the
hours of terror began in tranquil
innocence, They were all in the
living room watching TV, John
Baldwin was eating a peanut -
butter sandwich, His wife Elms,
was crocheting. Their three chil-
dren — Kenneth, 10, Danny, 7,
and Susan, 5 — were sitting
around •a little table they had
beengiven for Christmas, The
doorbell rang.
The man to whom Baldwin,
in all innocence, opened the door
of his modest bungalow was
Richard Arlen Payne, 23, four
days out of Moundsville, the
state's maximum -security peni-
tentiary and— according to the
state police afterward — "a dan-
gerous mental case,"
"He seemed nice enough when
1 opened the door," Baldwin ex-
plained, "He asked if he could
use the phone, I said sure and I
went back to the sofa, I heard
him dialing a long time, but he
said the number he was trying
to get was busy, Then he said:
"This is a stickup,' I thought he
was joking." •
It was no joke. Payne had a
pistol—a loaded Germar Luger.
The hours of terror had begun.
There was a lot that Baldwins
didn't know iibout Payne,
•• Payne had gone to prison ,in
1952, when he was 10, for the
armed holdup of a motel just
outside South Charleston in
which the owner was critically
wounded. In prison, one of
Peyne's cell -mates was a convict
named Burton Junior Post, a
man for whom Payne conceived
a deep and blinding hatred.
"I hate him with all my exist-
ence,'; Payne said, "When I see'
him it's like being almost over-
come by a blinding light. There
isn't room in this world for both
of us to live."
When Payne was released from
prison, his twisted mind con-
cocted a truly fantastic scheme.
g To murder Post, he would have
to get him released from prison,
The man who could release him
was the governor of the state,
Cecil Underwood. But the gover-
nor -- Payne thought .— could
be forced to act only if he were
faced with a deradful alterna-
tive.
Payne decided to 'kidnap some
innocent victims, and to murder
•:them,one by one, to force gov>r-
.::nqr to release Post to him.
It was entirely by accident,
and on the spur of the moment,
that Payne chose the Baldwins.
"It was horrible," Baldwin said.
"He said he had •to have a car,

so I gave him the keys and my
wallet, Then he said he'd have
to tie me up, He made me lie
on the (Moor and made my wife
tie me. Then lie tied her up, then
the kids . • •
"He had this letter he'd writ-
ten to the governor and be start-
ed to read it. It was all about
how the governor was to release
Post, and where he was to re-
leasehim, and how — it was
long, page after. page, and he
read slowly, He was sweating,
the sweat was running down his
forehead,
"He had gagged me with a torn
pillowcase. He hadn't gagged my
wife, and she kept pleading with
him not to do anything to the
children. He said he had to take
them, The two little ones had
just had bronchitis, and my wife
said she wanted to go along so
she could take care of them.
Finally he took them all out of
the house leaving me there, and
I heard the car drive away,"
Baldwin worked himself free,
and called the police. He handed
over "to them the, five-page let-
ter to Governor Underwood that
Payne had left behind. It gave
the governor a three-day dead-
line to deliver Post, or the Bald-
wins would be murdered.
For the next twenty hours, It
is hard to determine who had a
worse time — Baldwin at home,
hoping against hope, or Mrs.
Baldwin riding the back roads rif
West VIrginia with her three
children in a car driven -by an
armed man who " was obviously
insane,
"He threatened to torture the
children, to kill . them," Mrs,
Baldwin said. "It was so horrible
I didn't know what to do. •He
kept driving all over the back
roads. We almost came up on
one roadblock (by this time,
nearly every police officer was
looking for the car), but he saw
it in time and turned back.
"I kept trying to talk to him,
I wanted to take his mind off
the children. He kept saying that
he didn't want to hurt anyone,.
only kill that convict ... He said
he had to kill him. I was afraid
to go to sleep. . He didn't sleep
either,"
The end came suddenly,
Two state troopers spotted the
Baldwin car and gave. chase.
Payne drew his Luger and turn-
ed to fire back at the police car;
Mrs, Baldwin saw her chance, and.
suddenly drove her foot down on
the brake — and pulled the steer-
ing wheel over, ' Payne threw
the Luger, out of the window
and meekly put up his hands.
The terror was over.
Royal Typist
Will the Prince of Wales soon
be learning to use a typewriter?
It is quite possible, for the young
Prince has always been fascin-
ated by the machines.
As he grows up he will, be
writing more and more private
and business letters and will find
it a help to rattle off some on
a typewriter rather than rely en.
tirely on handwriting.
The former Prince of Wales
(now the Duke of Windsor) was
a typist in his younger days. It
was reported in 1922 that he had
"a dainty little typewriter,"
which was specially made for
him by a British firm•
The first typewriter ever to
enter a royal home in Britain
belonged to Queen Victoria. In
1890 she read a newspaper inter-
view with a businessman who
was then Introducing typewriters
into Britain and was specially
interested in his statement that
"women are ideally suited for
typing." .
As a result, the man took a
typewriter to Windsor Castle.
Queen Victoria examined it
with great interest and saw a
specimen of typewriting. The
Queen desired that the machine
should be left at the castle and
in due course learned to use
it herself,

It isn't only in Ottawa that
Government "big shots" wish—
NOT audibly, of course — that
a lot of farmers would either
drop dead or, be stricken dumb.
The following. message 'em
Washington will tell you what
I mean 4, , +
'Secretary of Agriculture Ben-
son 1s on the firing line again.
He is being fired at, and he is
shooting back. He is being blam-
ed for the $9 billion accumula-
tion ' of surplus " farm products
the government will hold by
.July 1.
Columnist Joseph Alsop at-
tacks Mr, Benson on the ground
that the cost of farm programs
is going up instead of down and
that it has increased vastly dur-
ing Mr. Benson's tenure, He sug-
gests that a Brannan -plan, di-
rect -subsidy . type of program
would lower food costs in the
market place, cost less, and still
help the farmer.
Secretary Benson, in reply, de-
clares the present farm program
is largely inherited from previ-
ous administrations, He points
out that it is not his program.
He has to administer the :laws'
Congress m e s and he has
urged lower price supports. Had
his advice been fully heeded, •
there probably would have been
smaller surpluses today. But it
appears that .he, too, underesti-
mated the production born of
mechanized American agricul-
ture. Mr. Benson also declares
that a Brannan -plan program
would make the present one
look like peanuts, costwise.
4 $ •
Now, there would be far less
basis for criticism of the. present
program's cost if farmers were
in the depths of a farm depres-
sion; if they hadbeen hard hit
as a group, by crop failures; if
the farm economy were sagging.
But farmers t oda y, on the
whole, are a prosperous lot.
Farms have been getting bigger
and bigger; they have become
highly mechanized; many are
classed .in the category of big
business. One big commercial
cotton plantation received more
than $1,500,000 in price -support
loans in 1957. This represented
the value of the crop at price -
support level — obviously a big
business farm operation.
• • ' * '
Not that all farmers are well-
to-do, But, ironically, it is not
the small farmer, nor the poor
farmer, who benefits most from
the farm price -support program.
In fact, many receive no price
support at all because they do
not produce the kind of crops
..overed by the program
The present lopsided, top-
heavy, indefensible farm pro•
gram, might Indeed be termed
e freak of nature — a freak In
which man also played a const•
derablet -parts For by offering
what, in effect, amounts to a
bonus for production, price sup-
port — along with the new won.
der -fertilizers L. has encouraged
that production to a point where
the government has to pay
$1,000,000,000 a year for stor-
age, interest charges, and losses
en surplus supplies
Going back a bit, price -sup-
ports originated In the dark
days of the farm depression, Un-
der that program, wheat. cotton,
and corn rated a price -support
level ranging from 52 to 75 per
cent of parity. In 1940, before
this country entered the war,
wheat and cotton were being
supported at 57 per cent of
parity, corn at 75 per cent. Coit
of the price -support program
was then $738,000,000,
* $ *
At the beginning of World
War II, price -support was boost-
ed to high, fixed levels to en-
courage more production for war
needs. Fixed supports were
abandoned some time after the
war. "Today price -support,, in
general, has a range of -from
75 to 90 per cent of parity, ex-
cept for corn now computed
under a different formula.
The price -support level for
wheat today is 75 per cent of
•
parity, cotton 80 per cent (or
65 per cent if the farmer grows
more than the restricted acre-
age needed to qualify for. the
higher rate). It is estimated
that by midsummer the govern-
ment will have more than
$9,000,000,000 tied up in price-,
support operations. All this re-
sulting in production of huge'
surpluses for which there is •no
market. $ $ s
Who is to blame? Secretary
Benson, to be sure, has been
pleading for a program which
would permit him to lower sup-
ports — make it less attractive
for the farmer to overproduce.
But even a measure of flexibility
has failed to bring about the
desired results.
Now he is asking for author-
ity to reduce the price -support
levet in another way — by
changing the parity formula.
Had he gone to bat for this at
an earlier date, he would have
been in a better position to de-
fend himself from his critics to-
day.
But Mr. Benson obviously ask-
ed for what he thought he could
get. Also, any drastic reduction
in price -supports would mean a
corresponding drop in the in-
come of many farmers. Secretary
Benson would hesitate to advo-
cate a cut in farm income. So
would any member of Congress
representing a farm state or d13-
trict.
Just the s a m e, someday
so: ehow, something has got to
give. Even many farmers, them-
selves, are fearful of a taxpayer
revolt that might wreck the pro
gram, its good features along
with its faults.

a small bundle of clothes, and
with only a few shillings.
She passed through Camborns
and Truro, over bleak Bodmtn
Moor, then across Dartmoor and
right through Devonshire to the
hills a! Somerset, In those days,
parts of the so-called main road
were just rough lanes which
were very hard on the feet,
As she could dot write, no
news reached her relatives in
Cornwall, But at last she reach-
ed London, after thirty-six days
of walking, with only fivepence-
halfpenny in her purse, -
She slept out for the first
night, and on the next day, as
she had wagered, she arrived at
the Great Exhibition, which was
attracting visitors from all over
the world.
Almost penniless, she wonder-
ed how she could possibly re-
turn home. Had she the strength
to walk all the way back? She
forgot the problem for the time
being and resolved to greet the
Lord Mayor of London person-
ally before her return.
The next morning carrying her
bundle of belongings on her
head, she walked up to the Man-
sion House and asked to see the
leading citizen. She was duly
presented to the Lord Mayor in
the famous Justice Room.
She told him the story of her
vow and her journey The Mayor
was greatly impressed and when
she confessed that she had only a
few coppers left, he gave her a
golden sovereign, Mary Kelynack
was so overcome with emotion
that she broke down and wept
with gratitude.
The next morning she spent
some al her sovereign on a visit
to the Crystal Palace, and while
she was there •she was told that
Queen Victoria and Prince Al-
bert had heard her story and
wished to see her.
So, once again, Mary Kelynack
was received in audience — this
time by the Queen of England
and her Consort. They listened
to her story with interest, and
she was given a hearty meal.
Later, journalists came to vis,
Mary at her lodgings in Craw-
ford Street, Marylebone, and a
famous artist asked her to sit for
a portrait,
. A leading London paper car-
ried her story in these words:
"Mary Kelynack was born in
the parish of Paul, by Penzance,
on Christmas Day, 1766. To visit
the present Exhibition she walk-
ed the entire distance from Pen-
zance, nearly three hundred
miles. She possesses her faculties
unimpaired. She is fully aware
that she has made herself some-
what famous; and among, other
things she contemplates a re-
turn to Cornwall, to end her days
in Paul parish."
It" is pleasant to learn that
Mary Kelynack did not have to
return on foot. She travelled
back to Cornwall by rail and
coach. What is more, she lived
on, in good health, for several
more years. When she died she
was buried in the churchyard of
Saint Mary's, Penzance, as was
her wish.
OFF BEAT
Summoned to court for speed-
ing, Murray Schneider, of New
York City, indignantly complan-
ed to the bench that he couldn't
have been speeding since he was
holding the steering wheel with
one hand and playing the har-
monica with the other,
Replied a sceptical magistrate:
"It's a lucky thing you were not
playing the drum," and fined him
one dollar.

DAY StilOOl
LESSON
By Rev R. B. Warren ILA. BD.
Saul's Tragic Failure
1 Samuel 15: 17-26
Memory Selection; Behold, to
obey is better than sacrifice, I
Samuel 15:22.
Why did Saul's life end it,
such trragic failure? He w,as "a
choice young man, and goodly:
and there was not among the
children of Israel a goodller
person than he: from his shout
ders and upward he was higher
than any of the people," On the
day that Samuel anointed him
king, "God gave him another
heart: — and the Spirit of God
came upon him, and he pro-
phesied. He was humble." Later
when chosenby lot before ail
lsreal to be king, they finally
found him hiding among the
stuff. He proved his worth
as a leader. He raised up an
army to relieve the people of
►abesh against the shameful
oppression of the Ammonites.
And he led this army to vic-
tory.
But years later, the night be-
fore he died, by his own hand
on the battlefield he made this
sad lament to Samuel in the
hut of the witch of Endo!, "Gud
is departed from me, and an-
swereth me no more, neither by
prophets, nor by dreams."
Why such a tragic failure?
The answer is: — disobedience.
First, although already a king
and a prophet, he usurped the
office of the priest and offered
a burnt offering when Samuel's
coming was delayed Then he
failed to carry out God's com-
mand to slay King Agag of the
Amalekites and all their flocks,
He and the people had spared
the best of the flocks for sacri-
fice, Samuel reproved him, say-
ing, "Hath the Lord as great
delight in burnt offerings and
sacrifices, as in obeying the
voice of the Lord? • Behold, to
obey is better than sacrifice,
and to hearken than the fat of
rams. For rebellion • is as the
sin of witchcraft, and stubborn-
r.ess is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because thou hast rejected the
word of the Lord, He' hath also
rejected thee from being kind."
One sin led to another. Saul
became jealous of David, the
cne . God appointed to succeed
him. On many occasions he
sought to slay him. Once, in a
burst of what proved to be,
only a temporary repentance,
he exclaimed, "I have sinned!
return, my son David: — be-
hold, I have played the fool,
and have erred exceedingly."
One act of disobedience se
often leads to another. How far
sin will lead us, we never know,
Let us obey Godl
