VOLUME 71- NO.45. E BLYTH STANDARD Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa. Vote In Favour of ReVoca- tion In Huron and Perth The residents in Huron and Perth Counties went to the polls on Monday to decide whether or not the Canada Temperance Act would continue to be the governing force in the two coun- ties, The vote required a majority of over 50 percent either way and resi- dents left little doubt as to their feel- ings on the matter, with an approxi- mate majority of 60 percent in favor of the revocation of the Act, In Iluron the final tabulation showed 12,080 in favor of the reveca'ion and 7,354 against — a majority of 4,720. In Perth 8,826 voted for the revocation with 3,183 voting aga'nst, This was a majority of 5,643, In the village of Blyth the vote was 251 for revocation and 91 against, making 'a majority of 157. In polling sub•division. No, 1, comprising all south of Dinsley street, the vote was 129 for and 55 against, a majority of 74. In polling sub -division No, 2, all north of Dinsley street, it was 122 for anal 39 against, a majority there of 83. 1t is understood that it will take from two weeks to •one month for the Liquor Control Act to come into effect' in the two counties, 1t roust first be dealt with by the Governor General and then an order-okouncil must be published in the Canada Gazette, It is interesting to note that all ur- ban municipalities in the county voted in favor of the revocation while Ash- field, Stephen, East and West Wawa - nosh, Usborne and Turnberry, all rural municipalities voted in favor of the C.T.A. , • It, is expected that all municipalities in Huron could establish liquor stores and brewers retail stores, by request of the local councils. Tris includes all urban centres -except Clinton who are dry under local option, and there a vote would be required for the estab- lishment' of these stores. It has been made quite clear that no beverage rooms or taverns can be established in any municipality, re- gardless of its local status, without a local vote, WEDDINGS GRUMMETT—SNYDERS A pretty wedding was solemnized at Seaforth United Church manse, when Rev.

George Bailie stated the board had an excellent year and had ended with a very good surplus. He was quite in favor of the many repairs made at the school this year.

Philp, the Blyth represen- tative on the Clinton District Collegiate Institute Board, gale a very thorough summary of their workings during the year. He was very sorry to report that due to i11 health Mr. E. A. Finns was unable to assume his duties as principal, and that the board was faced with the problem of securing someone to take his place.

He said there are nine school busses making the daily trek to the C.D.C.I. Total expenses for the year were $270,754.56 and Blyth's share totaled $3,842.31.

He expects any new girl to join the throng and bow down to his charms. Instead of that, if this one is smart she will cease "beckon- ing him in" (a cheap gesture) and feign an indifference she does not feel. She will resist physical temptation—no more petting, no easy kisses, fer those habits are not new to him.

She has never met his mother, but would like to write her a note. Don't you think his mother should be the first to write? A, Yes, the man's mother should write a letter of wel- come to your daughter — and, if necessary, her son should ask his mother to do this. Q. Should birth announce- ments be mailed to everyone, in- cluding those whom you have already told over the telephone? A. No; only to friends and relatives whom you have not told, Q. tVuuld it be proper, upon leaving a hospital, to tip a train ed nurse who has been especial- ly kind and efficient? A.

PLAYING SAFE The proprietor of the Railway Hotel at Gilgandra, New South Wales, was a little concerned lest drinks on the slate put him in the red with his finances. After careful deliberation he had the following notice display- ed: "We give credit to those per- sons over 75 years of age orgy if accompanied by both parents." GOOD GROOMING?. — Jacciues Esterel is decked out in strange style for what appears to be a wadding march in Weisbaden, Germany. But the French fashion designer isn't getting mar- ried. He's merely escorting one of his models to the opening of a beauty salon. HItONICLE3 �GINGEI2FAitM One day our daughter said "There's one thing, Mother, if you ever run short of something to write about you can always tall back on what your grand- sons say and do." It was a prophetic statement. A few days later things began to happen. Ross, at that time, still bore evidence of a really big "goose -egg" on the side of his head, result of falling down cement steps and bumping his head on• the sharp edges. Then on a Sunday an S.O.S. from Daughter — Jerry had climbed on to the kitchen cabinet and taken a generous swig from a bottle of cough medicine. She thought he may have swallowed two or three tablespoons of the. liquid, The doctor said give an emetic, if that didn't work make him drink milk and be sure not to let him go to sleep, He said there was codeine in the medi- • cine but not too much as it was a prescription for children. , Well, either Jerry didn't get as much medicine as. feared or Le has a castiron insides. Anyway he was none the worse for what- ever amount he had imbibed, A few days later f was talk- ing to Dee on the phone and suddenly there was an unex- pected loud wailing — unex. pected because Eddie and Jerry were supposedly quietly watch- ing "Popeye." "Now what's the trouble?" I asked. "Oh, it's Jerry again — I'll phone you back later." The explanation was simple but painful, Before sitting down to watch Popeye Jerry had ta- ken the top off the pepper -poi and dumped the pepper into his orange juice! Even though his hands had been washed the po- tency of the pepper remained. The sudden howl was the re- sult of rubbing his eyes with peppery hands! I suggested bathing his eyes and smearing the lids with vaseline. Appar- ently it helpcc' Poor little chap I could just imagine how his eyes were smarting. Friday night the whole gang came in after shopping. Dave was so excited he could hardly get out what he wanted to tell me. "Grandma, do you know what? I've got a guinea-pig at home to look after 'til Monday," Apparently the first graders at school have live pets in the classroom, to care for during the week and to take home over the week -end — in turn, of course. Saturday morning another phone call from Dec. "1 just tad to lel you know what happened last night. The kids were in bed and I was putting away the gro- ceries when I heard an awful squeal. I knew directly what had happened. Mischief (the cat) was atter the guinea -;gig, 1 never thought she would touch it." Sure enough she heel. got it out of its open -top box and was ready to play cat-ar,d- mouse. . When Dee ran to the rescue the cat went one way, the. guinea-pig another, with a small bite on its neck. It was fright- ened but not badly hurt. Later . that day Bob, Joy and their two boys came in after shopping, both of them so hurl.' gry they could hardly wait to be fed. They boys were other- wise good so the evening passed without incident, but with plen- ty of fun and laughter. It was Hallowe'en night, The doorbell was constantly ringing and Taf- fy incessantly barking, Children of all ages arrived in numbers ranging from two to eight. I imagine we must' have had for- ty spooks, witches and space- men call before the night was out, But there was no vandal- ism, thank goodness. Sunday afternoon Arthur came out for us and we went to Dee's for dinner. So that meant another session with kids, dogs, cats and one guinea-pig. The boys were still trailing around with baskets of loot from their Hallowe'en orgy. Their mother had taken them out on the street for about an hour, It was her intention to leave Jerry at SALLY'S SALLIES "B, -r -r! Your boss keeps his office like the inside of a refrigerator." Does He Rejuvenate Aging Humans? When Paul Niehans was a schoolboy in Bern, Switzerland, a somewhat awed teacher wrote his father that "the power of his imagination can lead him to the limits of human knowledge," Tt was an apt prophecy, properly clouded, Today, Dr, Paul Nie - hens, 72, stands in shadowy and controversial eminence at the fringes of medical knowledge. In his luxurious clinic near Montreux on Lake Geneva, Dr. Niehans has now injected more than 10,000 patients with the pulverized live cells of unborn animals, mostly sheep. For 27 years, he claims to have achiev- ed spectacular "rejuvenations" and cures for a wide range of human ills, from kidney and cardiac disease to prematt're senescence and sexual impo- tence, His presumably satisfied patients include such famous names as Konrad Adenauer, Somerset Maugham, the Imam of Yemen, and even Pope Pius XII, whose recovery from a near -fatal, illness in 1954 was ascribed _by many (the Pope included) to Niehans' injections. Niehans' methods have now spread throughout Europe. But to the American Medical Asso- ciation, among others, he is a charlatan whose treatments may cause cancer. In' the first full-dress biogra- phy of this remarkable man, published recently, French jour- nalist Giles Lambert has trouble remaining objective, Even in childhood, Niehans appear.?d larger than life: A brilliant stu- dent, champion athlete, and handsome swashbuckler wh) abandoned the ministry to be- come a doctor, . he once delight- ed fellow medical students in Zurich by coming to a mas- querade as a rectal thermome- ter. After heroic service in World War I as a volunteer surgeon with the Swiss Red Cross on several fronts, Niehans became interested in transplanting organs from animals to humans. In 1931,. Lambert writes, he per- formed his first "cellular trans- plant" on a dying woman — by injecting crushed cells from a newborn calf -into her chest. The woman lived (she is alive today in Bern, age 90), and cellular therapy was launched. Today, at the secluded Nie - hens clinic, the "curists" (as pa- tients are called) may and often do remain' incognito. They never see each other. Dr. Nfehans, tall and silver -haired and severe, visits each patient at the be- ginning of the four-day ,treat- ment and prescribes the Mier - home with his dad but when Jerry saw the other two with baskets and funny clothes he went off on his own account and got a basket and his thick sweater and was all ready to go. Leave him at home ... not a chance! Sunday night one big pump- kin illuminated the dining -room, There were also three small pumpkins, carved and scooped out by Grandpa that want everywhere .with them, even to the bathroom and to bed at night. I must admit Hallowe'en provided plenty of innocent fun for those three youngsters. Plenty of noise too. Early Mor, - day morning Dee was phoning to see if we had survived the ordeal. Obviously we have but one way an another it was quite a week. To quote the October Reader's Digest — "Just about the time a woman thinks her work is done, she becomes a grandmother." No comment needed, In betweenwhiles I have been trying to read that much discussed book "Doctor' Zhivago" by Boris Pasternak, banned in Russia as being ton revealing for Communist diges- tion. Lions (some patients get seven or eight injections in one day). He sees them again after they have had three days of bed rest to make sure no complica- tions ensue. Cost per treatment: About $1,000, . Inscrutable as always, the fa- bulously wealthy Dr, Niches refused to comment on Lam- bert's generally laudatory nlo- graphy, But at a thriving "cellu- lar therapy" clinic near Paris, • Niehans' good friend and discI- pie Dr. Rene Henry rated the book "excellent " Cellular ther- apy "is not a panacea, We do not make old people younger, the merely improve their old age for them — thus, it's a bio- logical therapy complementing but not replacing other thera- pies."

And in more and more cases, the "na- tural" look extends all the way up to the false halr line, Diana Tessler, a well-coiffed brunette whose New York firm frankly labels itself Hairlines, Inc., re- ports that young businessmen buy at least 40 per cent of her hairpieces (lured by such refine- ments as "Ivy League" wigs), Pioneer Louis Feder agrees. More than 70 per cent of his customers are under 35, he said last month. Even the price of a modern top piece seems to keep it in the executive's (or at least the would-be executive's) bra- cket, A House of Louis Feder creation often costs around $175; and 90 per cent of his custom- ers, Feder says, follow his ad- vice and buy a spare. False .hair for successful men is not new of course. Egypt's Pharaohs sported it as part of their court dress. But the real boom in men's top pieces didn't get under way until a few years ago. Feder, who has been hiding bald spots (including his own) for 40 years, says his business, has increased seven times, to more than $1 million, since 1954. His staff has grown from four- teen to about 100. One reason for the spurt, ac- cording to Feder and his execu- tive vice president Ben Z, Kap- lan (whose gray -flecked brush - cut is a Feder creation), is the advertising campaigns they started at that time ("Our hair- pieces a r e hurricane - proof"). Another reason: Today's hair- piece is a far cry from the fly- away 'fright wigs favoured by Victorian bartendersand baggy - pants comics. The new models. are cunningly matched to any natural fringes still adorning .the customer, and the hairlines, long the bugaboo.of any false topper, defy detection. Feder likes t� cite one young customer.. who bought a hair- piece to replace the locks he'd lost in Korea. .The GI had it firmly anchored before coming home, and his family unsuspect- ingly admired his virile hairline for six months• before he broke down and told them he took it off at night. More important, his fiancee also had accepted his curls as genuine. By the time •. she found out they weren't, she was firmly hooked, Anyone can spot the most far- aighted man in the neighborhood.

Space Age Invades Living Rooms By JAMES DULNAN NEA Staff Correspondent The scientists and space ex- plorers of the future will be busy this Christmas morning. In living rooms around the country, rockets will be blast- ing off into space (or at least into the Christmas tree) and youngsters will be building their own rocket ships' instead of con- structing model airplanes, an an- cient craft at best, The toy industry, you see, has discovered the small -fry's In- terest in outer - space and has produced for junior almost every conceivable kind of science toy. There's a four -stage rocket made of unbreakable plastic in which the three preliminary stages actually fall away after launching, leaving the final ing, a warning siren sounds, a lever is pulled , . , the doors of the launching pad swing open . the rocket moves slowly skyward ' into firing position ° . . then the automatic count -down clock ticks off 10-9.8-7.8- -4-8.2.1-0,.,atcount- down, the rocket and satellite blast off automatically. (Re- member when the big thing was a whistle on the electric train?) For the youngsters preferring,, for the moment, to halt at `lie edge of space, the toy makers have provided a jet fighter plane with • a junior -sized cockpit equipped,. with electronic con- trols, a, radar screen; and rub- ber -tipped rockets that can be aimed and fired at the enemy, (Babysitters beware.) The boys ' and girls more in- terested in the mysteries of out - SPACE -AGE youngster prepares for launch., stage to fire a rocket or man- made moon into the. air. If you want, you can have the missile mounted on a special trailer - truck, a scale model of, the ones actually used by the armed forces to transport rockets and launch them. There is also one launching device which comes with four different satellite reproductions that can be rocketed into space, Once launched, they soar into graceful arcs. (If something should go wrong, and a window is broken, the child has a per- fect alibi: "But mom, all satel- lite launchings are not success- ful.") The space toy boom has pro- duced a miniature duplication of the rocket center at Cape Canaveral, Fla. It's electronic- ally operated, has its own count- down apparatus, and rockets that fire, Works this way: When all's ready for a launch - Hottest Shot In The Big League The scouting report on the hottest shot.in the National Hockey League this season reads like something less than a rave: "Skating mediocre; not fast. He does not defend with much enthusiasm. His low boiling point gets him into jams, Not a great player, but can score." The last is understatement, as any follower of N.H.L. hockey can testify, for. 29 - year - old Bronco Joseph Horvath, Boston Bruin center, has been denting the twine at a really remark- able rate, Horvath, a lean, hawk -nosed 8 -footer from Port Colborne, Ont., is possessed of no magic other than quick wrists. He does not power slap shots with the grace of Jean Beliveau. He does not. flash by the cage, tipping home a backhander with th'e deftness of Rocket Richard.' But whenever a puck is Moose near the opponents' cage and Hor- vath can get near it, the wrists flick and both goalie and goal are in peril. "1 like to think I have a book on most forwards," says Johnny Bower of Toronto, "but he's one guy I don't read," In a Chicago hotel room one day recently, Horvath put aside a book , of crossword puzzle:, propped his bare torso' up on one elbow, fingered a gold reli- gious medal which hung about his neck, and talked about his sudden success, "As soon as you step on the ice and hear that crowd cheer — especially in Boston — you know you got to keep scoring to be a{ star," he said. "You want thein to think you can score when you step on the ice, You feel so great when you hear them roaring, the top of your head wants to fly right off. The crowd drives me. You want to hear them again and again." Horvath began his scoring in the Detroit chain in 1955, but er-space have not been neglect- ed by the toy manufacturers. With the flick of a light switch and the turn of a dial a youngster can have his own , planetarium, bringing the outer reaches of space into his dark- ened room. The constellations ' that have guided explorers for centuries .are suddenly project- ed within the four walls. of the.. child's private world, Young star -finders may be en- tranced by a new astronomioal toy that has eight plastic plates, each one etched with the pattern of an Important constellation. The young astronomer merely slips a plate into the frame hold- er and snaps on the light in the base of the toy. This immedi- ately illuminates the star pat- tern which our future scientist then moves across the heavens until he lines it up with the real constellation up there in the sky. after one season. he was sold to the New York Rangers. Then he moved to Montreal before Bos- ton picked him' up ln the sum- mer of 1957. "It wasn't as if we set out .to get Bronco," admits Lynn Patrick, Boston's general manager. "We had just gotten Johnny Bucyk and I remember ed; that Horvath and Bucyk had: played well together in the min- ors. I already had the third member of the 'line in Vic Sta- siuk so I figured I might as well reunite them all. I grabbed Hor- vath 'for $15,000." In his first year at Boston; Horvath scored 30 goals, but last year, when his jaw was broken, the total fell off to nineteen.• The night he suffered the frac- ture, he came back to finish the game, "Cost us the damn game, too," Patrick complains, "because he took a swipe at the guy who did it (Carl' Brewer of ‘Toronto) and got jugged and Toronto scored while he was of f." This year, as defensemen around the league awaken to the dangers of Horvath, Bronco has been getting roughed up in close to the goal, He cries for pen- alties and when the referees ig• core hint, he blows up. in Mon- treal not long ago, he was thrown out of a game and if Bucyk had not held his arms, Horvath would have punched n referee and probably been sus- pended for the year. Since both Bucyk and Stasiuk are Ukrainians, . Boston's power group is now called The Uke Line. Horvath, a Croat, is in on a pass. But as long as Horvath keeps scoring, for all his tem- per, his slow skating, and his shoddy defensive play, no one in Boston will do anything else but raise the top of the head of their idol with their Garden - rocking roar.

One summer I was invited for a day or two to a country house right in the middle of vast cerl; forests, to watch the bark -strip- ping process, an interesting busi- ness which — like all country craftsmanship — looks as easy as chopping up firewood. Yet it is one of the most skilled jobs in all tree cultivation, and the men who practise the art are paid far more than the ordinnry labourer. The particular ones I taw came from the province of the Algarve in the south, travel- ling to the Alentejo with their headman or overseer, who has been coming to this forest every year for as long as anyone re- members. He was a typical old country character, with deep-set shrewd eyes, and a rather reserved but very great affection for the em- ployers with whom he has work- ed for so many years, These . strippers from the Al- garve lived in the open, under the trees of the cork forest. As this job always takes place af- ter the hot weather has set in (from June onwards) this is generally fairly pleasant. Their beds consist of rugs and blan- kets placed on the ground, the bed often bounded by long strips of cork bark. I must say they looked very comfortable, and even if a thunderstorm arrived in the night, they could always hoist the inevitable umbrella, so general among all peasant work- ers in the country. All the paraphernalia of camp- ing hung in the trees — extra clothes, food containers, sheep- skin heep- skin trousers, umbrellas, odd- ments of all sorts. Earthenware water -jars were placed here in the shade of the trees, and at the edge of the camp was the fire for cooking, When I arriv- ed, a woman was busy watch- ing the fire, while the men were away at work. The evening meal was being cooked in a large number of earthenware pots, placed along an extended fire. One's usual idea of a camp fire is circular, but owing to each individual having his own pot, it was obvi- ous that a long narrow fire was the answer, and it looked unique and unusual. At night we sat on the ver- anda of the pleasant country house situated on a hill above SALLY'S SAM'S 'About this morning's argu- molt, where did we leave off ?" the forests, listening to the nig►t- ingalcs and other birds, listcliing also to the intense peace of the cork forests, with their tops sil- houetted against a clear moon-' lit sky. Those unmistakable green arms, so carefully prun- ed and tended all their lives the great silent population of the Alentcjo, — From "The Hills of Alentejo," by Huldine V. Beam- ish, No Wife -Beating After Nine O'Clock Some of the ancient street cries of London are being revived by enterprising street traders who, have found that their sentimen- tal appeal is very good for busI- ness. One young woman with a large basket on her hip regularly walks with grace and dignity through some of the Mayfair streets, -as other pretty girls did when the first Queen Elizabeth was on the throne, singing tunefully: "Won't you buy my sweet blooming lavender? You buy it once, you buy it twice — it makes your clothes smell very nice." Heard once again, too, in 1959 are the cries of the watercress man the winkle man and the muffin sellers — especially at week -ends, In West London an elderly man often sits on the kerb re- caning seats and stools and chant- ing from time to time "Chairs to mend" and there's a barrow - boy who cries, as his great -great- grandparents probably did before him: "Pots and pans to mend, scissors to grind." The "come and buy" street cries of old London were suc- cessfully revived during the Fes- tival of Britain in 1951 when pretty girls in Restoration cos- tumes chanted sales -talk used in Nell Gwynn's day. Rags and bones, fresh mackerel, peanuts, hot dogs and baked chestnuts are the themes of men and women who cry their wares in the suburbs of London and other big cities nowadays and they manage to make themselves heard despite the roaring traffic. Some cries In Elizabethean times seem to have got on people's nerves, for laws were in- troduced to limit them and no man was allowed "to whistle or blow a horn or sing his wares after- nine o'clock or to beat his wife or cause a sudden outcry," it's Enough To Make You Blink When the average motorist drives at twenty miles an hour for a period of five hours, he drives for at least ten and a half miles of his journey with his eyes shut! Staggering, isn't it? But It's true. Scientists who have been con- ducting research into the un- conscious blink that our eyes perform daily reached that con- clusion after extensive surveys on the subject. It has been esti- mated that atthat rate, in the course of fifty years a man would blink a total of 7,000 miles. The average blink means that for one-fifth of a second, 50,000 times a day and 19,000,000 times a year, we are momentarily blind.

YES, WE HAVE BANANAS — It's easy to grow a banana tree, according to Ralph Harmon,Harmon, manager of a grocery store in Cincinnati, got the tree from his father's place in Florida. In Ohio, the tree was planted and grew from six inches to 12 feet in seven months But fall air began nipping at the plant and Harmon decided to winter it in the store, He's thinking of cut:in3 a section frcm the store ceiling to see how well it'll c -'o incicors, TEACHER'S PET? — This car belongs to a driving school in Italy, The couple in the back seat seem to be learning thing about the clutch, Dancing Girl's plot Doomed Thousands Four wives and seven slave - girls perished as sacrifices on the funeral pyre of the fabulous Maharajah Ranjit Singh, But not his favourite wife, Jindan,- who had wonher way to power as an alluring dancing girl at the court of Lahore, She was ,far too shrewd for that. Go . to the flames: for the sake of an old profligate? Not she! Hadn't she a small son, Dulip Singh, who would one day rule as Maharajah? Couldn't -she as Regent wield power through her lover, Lal Singh, and her brother, Jamahar Singh, both leaders in the State? She was a past -mistress at in- trigue "I have only to bide my time, set one man against an- other," she told herself, "and everything will fall into my hands and my son's," After Ranjit's death the Punjab suffered under a succession of rulers and pretenders, each in turn dying a violent death at the hands of his usurpers, Jin- dan, pulling a string here, a strangulating cord there, watch- ed it all with a cynical smile on her rouged lips, The privileged "Khalsa" Sikh army built up by Ranjit really ruled the State, making and un- making maharajas at will. In .the 1840s many chiefs, jealous of the army's power, anxious to overthrow it, intrigued secretly with the British beyond the bor-` der. Jindan encouraged her brother, the Wazer - Jamahar, to do so, "The Khalsa stands in our way," she said. "It must be curbed." But the army got wind. of the intrigue, secretly sent- enced him to death, and ordered him to appear before them,, He came with his nephew, the boy Maharajah, "Stand aside from the 'boy!" they ordered. A file of soldiers then took up position . and shot him dead. Incensed by rage and grief — if the the grief was genuine — the Maharani ordered his wretch- ed women, two wives and three slave -girls, to fling themselves on his pyre. According to custom, they had to go mourningfully in procession, distributing from trays the jewels and gifts deem- ed sacred heca.use they came from a sati about to die for her lord and master, Forming ranks either side, the Sikhs compelled them to pass between, snatching at their gifts, ripping off their ear -rings and other adornments, mocking their entreaties with coarse ribaldry. When the flames began licking their agonized bodies, the sol. diers even tried to snatch the gold fringing from their trousers. With the accusing eyes of a prophetess, one of the women rose from the pyre, pointed to them, and shrieked: "Woe to the Khalsa! Before a year be out. they will be overthrown and their wives will be widows!" Then she fell back into the flames and was consumed, But only 'too well was her prophecy to be fulfilled, Jindan saw to that. The grim spectacle shocked even her -- and she had seen many in vio- lent, untamed Lahore. She would he avenged, 1f the Khalsa, in view of the popular fceline against the British, could be in. cited to cross the Sutlej border and attack them , . . if, under the leadership of her lover, Lal Singh, and a fellow -conspirator, Tej Singh, they were betrayed, would they not he destroyed end no longer dominate the State? Her crafty lover needed no urging, any more than Tej Singh. Both saw in the treacherous move a path to power. They would make all the military blunders possible while ensuring their own safety and winning British goodwill, and under Brit- ish influence rule the Punjab, unhampered by Khalsa interfer- ence, Ripe for plunder, the army crossed the Sutlej in December, 1845, and might have swept all before it, but for the betrayal, At Mukdi, Lal Singh ordered i1 Rome, some- - into battle, then callously left it to blunder into defeat. Ferozshah was one of the •bloodiest engagements In Br'It- ish-Indian history, but when, with, large . Sikh reinforcements, Tej Singh had the British at his mercy, he fled from the 'field, turning sure -victory into disaster,' Theeight weeks' war ended at Sobraon, where again he fled, though his forces. showed them- selves superior. He even dam- aged a bridge over -the Sutlej, to hamper his own troop follow- ing. When :they fell back on it; fighting desperately, it gave 'way, plunging them into the swollen river. Many,thousands of Sikhs per- ished ithis Last stand, includ- ing Sirdar Sham Singh, 'a spec- tral 'figure in white, with .white beard, who rode about on a white mare leading a remnant in a final charge in which he was killed. After the battle his servants found his body, placed it rever- ently on a raft, swam across the river with it and bore it with them on a three-day trek back to his home, But his widow, hearing dread tidings of the battle, had already committed herself to- the pyre, clasping of the clothes he had worn at their wedding, She was the last sati to kill herself by traditional Punjab custom, and a pillar marks the spot outside the walls, Back in Lahore, surrounded by court magnificence,. dressed In precious silks decked with jew- 'els, the Maharani Jindan hugged .her triumph,' The dying sati's prophecy had indeed been ful- filled. When the victorious British garrisoned the city they .found the Council of State virtually ruled by her as Regent for her eight-year-old son, with ` the treacherous Lal Singh as her chief minister and the other wily, shifty members under her sway. No woman wielded such power as this former dancing girl, none so abused it. One of her fgvourite sports was pushing her slave -girls into a pool, ducking them and laugh- ing attheir cries as they struggle to escape, But intrigue proved first her lover's undoing, then her own. Lal Singh might use the British for his ends, but only temporar- ily, When he began plotting against them in turn, with Jin- ' don's encouragement, they ex• polled him, Still the intrigues went on be- hind palace walls. She even plot- ted to murder the Resident and free her capital of British con- trol. Thatwas too much for the au- thorities. They expelled her out of harm's way, too. She, had to leave her beloved Lahore, f& - lowing her lover into exile — though not to be with him, which might have been some consola- tion. Frenziedly, she threatened to scratch the eyes .out of any one of her enemies who came within reach of those acquisitive taloned hands, as delicate as they were merciless. • When her protests were of no avail and ,she had to go, she elamoured to take all her sery ants and slave -girls with her insisted on being escorted as be- fitted a queen, and complained loudly about the quart ors allot ted her, The British found that they le -1 taken on more than they had bargained for, In 1848 the Sikh rebelled and the Khalsa became active again A powerful chieftain threatened to march on Lahore and restore Jindan to power. But the ex - dancing -girl was finished. She had climbed from obscur- ity, using al] her seductive wiles. Into obscurity she now faded with her spoilt son, 'The man I want," said the employer, "must be capable of earning ten thousand a year and silly enough to do it willingly for five."

They will be great pals, wonderful watchdogs, faithful friends, etc. I probably have the most use- less slob of all, and nobody ever had it so good as he. I saw a typical useless dog in action the other morning, when the pheasant season opened, I have mixed feeling about that day. Pheasants get in my hair, and eat the ducks' feed, and cavort in our petunia bed by the back door, and yet I can't say I agree with the state fiat that makes them "game" birds, Our farm is ideal pheasant country, and whenever game wardens re- lease them in this general area they show up under my • barn. This year we had a flock of eight that were second-geneta- tion birds - they were two years away from the state incubators, I got pretty well acquainted with these eight. Every night they would bed down in a clump of bushes back of the barn, Just before sundown we'd see them working across the field toward this haven, and every morning just after sunrise we'd see thein working away. I shuddered at what a couple of hunters with a bird dog would do on opening day if they got near that clump of bushes, So what 1 did was get up early and go out and disperse them. I just slammed through the bushes singing Men of Har- lech in the Hollow and the pheasants took off. Some of them flew, and some of them squawk- ed and ran, Pheasants can run with their heads down and keep out of sight, but if they are foolish enough, to fly they make a simple target, not, at all like the ruffed grouse which zigs and zags as it goes. Grouse are harder to shoot' Anyway, I fig- ured my pheasants were no longer bunched, and hunters would have a little more trouble rounding them up, and I started back to the house. Then 1 heard low whispers, and around the barn came two stalwart hunters with a huge red dog. Hunters are always stalwart, but dogs .may be any color. This dog was trotting around with his nose out, a little tinkle -bell at his throat, and he was a handsome crittur, The hunters watched his every PARKING SPOTS - Nobody will disagree with this sign in Lon- don, England, ''guarded" by a circus leopard.

Apropos move, and were ready for any- thing, Then this handsome dog went right through •he clump of bushes from which I had flush- ed eight pheasants, and he never turned a hair. It he had possessed the slight- est ability as a bird dog, he'd have come to a point. However, he never showed any reaction to the situation, but went merrily back and forth, -tinkling away, and he came out on the other side and moved on up the big field, The hunters, alert with their weapons at the ready, moved along with him, and I went in the house and had breakfast, About ten o'clock the hunters came back from the wilds, dog and all, and told me the birds had all moved out, While they were telling me this, the dog crouched exhausted at our feet, putting on a remark- able show of fidelity, devotion, and unstinting service. He- mast have almost stepped on pheas- ants all along the orchard wall, but never knew it. But he had a master who would boast what a good dog he was. Fine nose. I think most dogs are like that. They put up a great front and captivate your esteem, fooling yo4. We had a •collie once who ]earned to set up a great touse when somebody came in the yard. He didn't care if anybody came or not, but he found he was supposed to, His trouble was he couldn't distinguish friend from foe. When some disreputable char- acter who might set fire to the barn approaches, it is nice for a dog to give an alarm. But if the lady next door stops by, a dog ought to hold back, This one never held back, and he'd rush out barking away regardless. He often put my own mother up on a woodpile. "Great watch- dog you have there!" people would say, and the •dog would wag his tail. Afterward, we scolded him so much about barking at old friends and relatives that he'd run out happily to escort tramps into .the house. It was just that he was trying always to fool us into thinking he was good for something. Our present pooch, aging now, has worked this into a wild publicity stunt, He sleeps on a pile of bags in the shed, and'. most of the time has no idea what's going on at all. But he has to make out he's protecting the property, so every once in a while he'll leap up and rush out snarling and barking: He doesn't know if anybody is there or not. Usually there is not. Onee in a great while, by pur- est chance, somebody will be there, and this is a frightening thing for the dog. He goes all to pieces and looks ashamed. The other day he did this, and I happened to be there and he nearly ran me down. He had been caught, barefaced, and was embarrassed. He was terribly upset, I think most dogs are deceit- ful this way. They backslide in their obligations, but keep you convinced devotion to duty is their chief concern. They're good company, and know your weak- nesses, • and play the game, and , usually show they're smarter than you think. I think the_ dogs have got our number. - By John 'Gould in The Christian Science Monitor.

Today, the dam, site, between the 'prairie towns of Elbow, and Outlook, holds the shape' of things to come. , A .town has sprung up at its edge; 'access roads have been built, a ' con- struction bridge started, and mountains of earth along the river banks moved. * * • Work is under the , direction of the Prairie Farm Rehabili- tation Administration, a branch of the Canada Department of Agriculture. The overall project is a joint federal -provincial un- dertaking. In all, 12 contracts were sign- ed .during the past year for a total of $13.5 million. • • • Of major interest has been the workon the two embankments for which two of 'the contracts, totaling $9 million, have been signed, The equipment being used to carry out these contracts costs well over $4 million, * • • Undesirable. overburden ma- terial is stripped and replaced with a more impervious com- pacted earth material used in the construction of the embank- • Ment. Another phase takes in a part of the river section itself which,has been dyked and back filled with river sand or the equivalent, to form a foundation for the. embankment. Left open will be a narrow channel along the cast abut- ment, through Which the river will continue to flow until di- version tunnels are built to handle it. * , * 13y the end of September,' an estimated 20 per cent of the two earth moving contracts had been completed. A construction bridge being built just below the downstream toe of the dani will provide ac- cess across the channel for con- struction crews and equipment during this initial period. Plans are now well advanced for calling tenders on the con- tracts for five diversion tunnels. Each water outlet will be se big that a full-size train could easily go through it. The outside dia. meter of each will be 20 feet. •$ * * Construction li e a d quarters, bordering the dam site, consists of 38 houses and four operation- al buildings. There are paved streets, sidewalks and sewers. A well -point water supply system has been installed. Buildings and services were in by last sum- mer, Construction of a 13 - toile east access road from the dam site to No, 19 Highway was com- pleted by December last year. Contract for the north access road to Highway No. 15 was awarded last •spring and it, too; has been completed. Another contract let 'during the year was for the processing of cnnrrete aggregate required during the construction period, * • • The South Saskatchewan River project has captured the imagination of people all over Canada and the United States. This is underscored by the fact that during July and August about 2,000 persons visited the construction site each week. Al- though the majority were Sas- ,.katchewan residents, every province was represented, along with many U.S. centres. To accommodate visitors, a pavilion is being built on a vant- age point overlooking the con- struction area. It will contain models, photographs, and other illustrations provided by the fed- eral and provincial governments, • * • Education poses a problem for the families of PFRA personnel and contractors living at the pro- ject. Presently the children at- tend a school in Outlook, 20 miles away. The school district provides bus transportation. Cost of providing facilities has been great and, with further increases anticipated, the outcome remains uncertain. • Recognizing these difficulties, the federal govern- ment is helping with the oper- ating costs of schools in this predicament, « « « Impact of construction work is having its effect on the gen- eral economy of the region -- particularly in the towns closest to the site. , Outlook, the largest district town, has seen the most changes. Expansion of facilities of two banks is planned, A large new wing to the local hotel, a new service station, two new motels, a new restaurant, and an im- proved water supply have been other developments. In Loreburn,' a small village 15 miles to the east, a new serv- ice station and ' grocery store have gone up, and at Elbow, new residential construction Is tak- ing place. In Dunblane, across the river to the west, 30 fami- lies of workmen employed on the project are settled, mostly In trailers. , * Hundreds of applications to establish businesses on access roads have been received by the local municipalities, but have been severly curtailed to date. This has been an interim zon- ing arrangement agreed to by federal, provincial and local gov- ernments to assure that only ap- proved and sound development takes place, Earth moving orerations for this year are about to close down as winter approaches, but PFRA engineers cr,n look back on a year of satisfactory progress. Seals Saved From Slaughter A public outcry led by wild life preserving organizations has saved the seals of Macquarie Island, This bleak, rocky dot in sub - Antarctic waters, half way be- tween Tasmania and the Ant- arctic coast, is under the Tas- manian government's jurisdic- tion, and since 1933 has been maintained as an animal sanc- tuary. But, 'from time to time, sealing companies invaded its peace, slaughtering the island's elephant and fur sear for meat and oil. At one period, 100,000 Mac- querie seals perished In a single season. One hunter used the hor- rible practise of driving them along a ramp, and into a cauld- ron, in which they were boiled alive for their oil. Such slaughter loused the indignation of the late Sir Douglas Mawsom, whose portests were mainly responsi- ble for the island's classification as a protected area. Now the elephant seal colony has largely reasserted itself, its present strength being about 50,000.

Standing by a New Convert Acts 9: 10-20, 26-29 Memory Selection: Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath for- given you. Ephesians 4:32, A new convert is a babe in Christ, He should have the pray- erful support and sympathetic understanding of older Chris- tians, Today's lesson tells of two men who stood by Saul in his early Christian life. Without them, we hesitate to think of what might have happened to Saul. The first of the two was Ana- nias. He was an obedeint dis- ciple but when the Lord asked him to go to Saul, he remon- strated, "Lord, 1 have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name." The Lord 'lead told Ana- nias that Saul was praying but not even that dispelled his fears. A man once prayed in my home and at the same time was plan- ning to rob me. But when the Lord said of Saul, "Behold, he prayeth," it was genuine prayer. The Lord was patient with Ana- nias and told him of the great work Saul would do. Ananias laid aside his prejudice and went into the house where Saul was, still blinded with the light and said, 'Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeareth unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and he filled with the Holy Ghost." Ananias showed his brotherly love and his belief in Saul's genuine conversion. Saul began preach- ing Christ. According to Galatians, Saul, after leaving Damascus, spent some time in Arabia. Later, he went to Jerusalem and endeav- oured to join the disciples but they were afraid of him. Then, another man befriended Saul. Barnabas had confidence in him and introduced him to thi apostles. This was the beginning of a very profitable fdiendship. At a later time, Barna bag brought Saul from his home in Tarsus to help in the church at Antioch. From there they went together on a missionary tour. Let us be helpful to new con- verts. As they grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour they may be- come far more effective in the kingdom of God than we shall ever be. Some whom I have helped in their early Christian life are now ministering the Gos- pel at home and a b r o a d. It cheers me.

FACE OF THE SUN - This photograph of a sunspot, probably the sharpest ever made, was token from a balloon 80,000 feet above the earth. It was made as part of Project Stratoscope, sponsored by the Navy and the National Science Foundation, who are launch;rg manned bal- loons from Boulder, Colo., to find out what effect the sun has on weather. Th9 sunspot consists of a dark core of cool gases embedded in a strong magnetic field and surrounded by fila- ments of hot gases. It produced a magnetic storm in the earth's upper atmosphere on August 16, causing major disturbances in long-range radio communications. 1'At4E 8 1 1 4+NN,N,NjM4444* For Better DOLLAR Value T r' Aylmer Canned Food Sale Aylmer fancy CREAM STYLE CORN 1 4 - 15 oz. tins 49c Aylmer TOMATO SOUP 4 -15 oz. tins 39c Aylmer FRUIT COCKTAIL 2 -15 oz. tins 49c Aylmer fancy ASPARAGUS TIPS 12 oz. tins 39c Aylmer TOMATO JUICE 2 -20 oz. tins 29c Aylmer CHOICE PEAS 2.15 oz. tins 29c Quick QUAKER OATS 3 lb. box 39c QUAKER INSTANT OATS 44 oz. box 39c NEWEST ITEM ARRIVED --- Swan Detergent ---- Try this one NOW FOR YOUR CHOICE--- Christmas Candy, French Creams, Light Cut Rock, Twinkles, Cocoanut bon bons, Victoria 11Iix, Chocolates.
