Fireside Faris Forum' Meet On December 7t11, 14 adults of the Fireside Farin Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs.- Oliver Anderson to discuss the subject "Social Security on Canadian Farms." \Ve think unem- ployment insurance is a good thing in many cases but that it is terribly ab- used by many people. Some prefer to remain idle for a month or more rather than look for work or accept a good offer for work they could do. In many cases it encourages laziness and causes people to lose their pride in be - in; independent. The person who re- ceives the uneniploynment insurance should be the one paying for it not the' farmer who has hired help. We are not.. in favor of private pension plans for farmers unless • on a voluntary basis,' and it should offer some advantages which the present Life Insurance plans do not. A few games of progressive euchre was played with the following win- ners: most games, Mrs. Jerry Ccok and Harvey 'Taylor; lone hands, Mrs. Don Buchanan and Eric Anderson; consol- ation, Mrs. and Mr. Joe Babcock, Next weeks gathering will he held at the home of Mr. and Airs.

Inspect them for fraying and damage. Loose con- nections and bare wires have started many a disastrous Christmas tree fire, he stated. "Fortunately, no one with any sense uses candles any more," the chief said, "but the regular Christmas tree strings are -far from fool proof. Light bulbs produce heat and heat produces fire, so make sure no bulbs are actual- ly touching the tree." When you buy Christmas tree lights you should always look for the mono- gram or the approval label on the mnnufaclurers nameplate. Only hoose bearing this C.S.A. label are approved. Always turn off the Christmas Tree lights before going to bed or leaving the house. Another very important factor in protecting the family from fire is the circuit fuse, said the chief. Each circuit must be protected by not more than a 15 ampere fuse, The chief also stated that your trce will be far less of a fire hazard if it is kept well watered, 'Celebrate 54th Wedding Anniversary • Mr, and Mrs. Robert 'Purvey cele- brated their 54th wedding anniversary on Sunday, November 29th, - at time home of their son -le -law and daughter, Mr, and Mrs. Harold Vodden, when all the members of the family were pres- ent, A very enjoyable afternoon and a buffet steppe' were enjoyed by the fol- lowing members of the Turvcy family.

You have been * going only with this one boy • since you were 15, and all ' along you have realized that ' marriage is the greatest ad- • venture of your life, a decision • not to be made hastily. That ' is commendable. Only when ' he grew tired of waiting and left, do you conclude that you • love him. ' It is human to want the un- ' attainable, It is his leaving you ' that has suddenly made him ' doubly desirable. Because you have no other beau your life ' seems empty now, and living ' in such a vacuum alarms you. ' Believe me, you have not been ' a fool, you have only been ' honest with yourself. ' It is well that the boy has ' gone. His doubts that you are ' not the girl for him show how ' shallow his emotions are; if ' he were more mature, your ' putting him off would only ' have made him more eager to ' to win you, and he would have realized you are a well-balanced ' young woman who does not give her heart away without ' knowing the value of her gift. ' You are both too young to ' think of marrying or even be- • ing engaged, A girl 17 can ' hardly be sure that what she ' feels is an enduring emotion ' that will last the rest of her life.

Singe last March a boy and I have gone together, and then my mother liked him, al- lowing me to invite him to my birthday party and the school dance. Then suddenly she changed her mind — when his brother got into trouble through no fault of his own! "Now she won't allow me to see him. He lives on our street, and I'm not allowed out of the house unless she is with me. She even follows me to school! "I tried not seeing this boy, but it just didn't work, I like him too much. Please help me out. — DISTRESSED TEEN-AGER" It is of no use to appeal to anyone else for the answer you want, Somehow (and only you know) you have lost your mother's faith, and she feels that out of her sight you will be seeing this young man. What have you been doing that she distrusts you so? Whatever it is, stop it, It is unfair, perhaps, that one boy's misbehavior reflects on the whole family, but it is true. Your mother knows how unwise it is for you to be see- ing each other, and she is try ing to protect you from any unfavorable gossip, You are too young to appreciate this, but you will have to accept her ruling and obey it. If you will give her your word that you will not see him again without her permission, and in other ways show you can be trusted, perhaps later on she will relent. Meanwhile, it is up to you to prove your integrity in every way you can. * * * Don't let any boy rush you into a promise to marry, hlfarrlage is not a game, It Is a lifetime con- tract, and only by careful com- parison with others can a girl be sure she is ready to take the step, In time of doubt, write Anne Hirst, and save yourself from a mistake.

The first snow of the season had fallen in the remote village of Egnat, high in the Alps, and all the kids were out, huffing and puff- ing to build a giant snowball to send thundering down the. slopes. Watching then, 15 -year-old Jakob Giezendanner, the oldest of his family's eight children, smiled. Jakob had rolled snow balls in his day, too, but now he was a grownup, helping his fa- ther grub out a living from their rock-strewn farm. "Jakob, help us," the children cried. "Too busy," he explained. And then, Jakob noticed that the snowball—now 10 feet wide and 4 feet high—was threatening to skid and get out of control. Throwing aside the ax with which he had been chopping wood, he ran to the children. Straining, ' he put his shoulder against the snowball. His feet slipped. One piercing cry was all that Jakob had time to utter before the giant snowball engulfed him and began careening down the slope. It must have weighed a ton by the time it struck an open space and broke apart. The children, rushing after it, found Jakob's body. The life had been crushed out of it. SAttY'S SALVES 7- /M7 "Science keeps my dariin un• employed, Ile knows nothing about It," TURNS A CENTURY — Actor Edward Everett Horton looks at family albums ,with his mother, Mrs. Isabella Horton, She celebrated her 100th birthday recently. HRON ICLL 1NGERFARM Ga¢ndoline D. Clarke Partner says he is afraid to leave the house for very long because he never knows what changes he'll find when he gets back, That, of course, is a slight exaggeration but still it has some foundation, in fact and indicates one difference between a man and a woman. Most men like things left in the home more or less the way they are, year in and year out. Women love to move things around, creating a change of scenery within four walls. And after all, why not? Who wants to see the same'thing in the same place, month after month, winter and summer? It gives a lift to the soul to change one's outlook. Except, of course, to the conservative type, and they are beyond hope. Not only that but- summer arrangements are often unsuitable for 'winter months. And another thing, changing things around may dispel a guilt.complex if a per- son has been doing a little wish- ful thinking .. , "If only I. had a chesterfield — or a rug, or drapes — like my friend Edna, how much nicer my livingroom would look!" Well, there is a saying -- "Don't let your wishbone be where your backbone ought to be". Don't wish for changes in your home — make them. Dare to be original, But don't talk it over with your husband first — that is fatal! He will be sure to say — "What's the matter with the room the way it is — it looks all right to me?" To that sort of question a woman rarely ha a logical answer. So, to keep peace \in the family she subdues her splurge of creative thinking and everything remains the same — except for her own feeling of frustration. Now "don't get me wrong" -- I think a husband and ls ife should talk things over .— and sometimes very carefully, par- ticularly when a purchase is in- volved. But 1 cannot see the point of a major discussion over moving a piece of furniture, a picture, or arranging a differ- ent set-up in the kitchen. The home is primarily the woman's concern. It is often up to her to do the best she can with what she has, making her home as comfortable and convenient as she can for the whole family. So, if father likes his livingroom chair in one particular spot, for heaven's sake don't move it, but arrange the rest al the room to suit yourself. Finding the best place for your TV set is a matter for a family conference, as it concerns everyone. And what a problem it can be. Now you may wonder what led up to all these ideas. Actual- ly nothing too drastic. A little different seating arrangement in our livingroom; an unwanted teble taken clown to the base- ment; ferns changed around; a lamp from the den given a place in the livingroom and small tables changed around from guest room to den. The overall uesult has been more space and I no longer feel it necessary to buy the nest of tables I thought we couldn't possibly do without. Now that should commend it- self to the man of the family don't you think? Not that I and entirely satisfied even yet but the present arrangement will do until I get another bt•ainwr.ve. You know, I think half the trouble with most of us is that we lack vision, We get so used to seeing things, good and bad, the way they are that in time actually don't see them at ell. For instance, one friend was vis- iting another for the first time. She was entranced by the beau- tiful scenery. "Oh, how I envy you this view." And then she added — "But I suppose you are so used to it you never even see it." She was absolutely right: Unless we keep. ourselves alert we are liable to lose our aware- ness of so many things. Even the Santa Claus parade. Maybe I am slightly infantile but I dropped everything last Satur- day — and so did Partner — so wee„ tpuld watch the Parade on fid. non and we thoroughly it, But what a shame it rant d ater two young mothers each saao�o the — "You know, I was so oked . . I forgot about the Parade and our young- sters would have loved watch- ing it on TV." Our daughter goes to the other extreme — she wants her boys to see every parade that comes along and generally takes all IT'S A LIVING -- Princess Ferial of Egypt works as a shorthand teacher in Lausanne, Switzer- land, for $35 o week.

Jerry has measles and David the mumps.

A sequel to "Roughing it in the Bush". Although the book was written around 1850 this is its first publication in Canada. It concerns the Belleville district, It seems almost impossible that life could be so different and yet be only a hundred years apart. Obviously each period has its advantages and disadvan- tages, How The Cave Men Used To Live The cave men were the human beings who lived before the most important of the early inventions on which a stable civilization can be based: farming, or the regular cultivation of edible plants; the domestication of hoofed animals; pottery — and perhaps with it the invention of wheeled transport; and the rev- olutionary technique of grind- ing, polishing, and boring stone tools so as to make them almost as efficient as the later tools of metal. The cave men did not farm; they were hunters and fisher- men,. and 'their women collected wild fruit, vegetables, and grain. They lived lives rather like those of the American Plains Indians before the• introduction of the horse, They did not domesticate animals—or at best only one animal, our oldest friend, the dog. They lived largely on ani. mals; they thought about ani- mals constantly; but they were hunters, so they treated even the horse as something to be stampeded over a cliff and then eaten. They knew something about clay and how it hardens in the fire; but so far we have found no real clay dishes or con- tainers among their remains. We find it difficult to imagine life without the peaceful corn- fields, the quiet cattle, and the dishes from which we eat and drink; yet for most of man's existence on the earth these things were unknown and un- dreamed of. Settled farming began somewhere about 7,000 years ago, in the New Stone Age: that seems like a long time ago, but it is 'only about 200 generations from our own time. Our two-hundreth grandfather ,was one of the first farmers. But before that there was a long, long period—not ten times as great but something like a hun- dred times as great — during which our forefathers lived in caves and hunted the wild ani- mals and made tools and molded the human mind into something recognizably like its present ef- fectiveness. That was what geologists call the Pleistocene period, and his- torians the Old Stone and Mid- dle Stones ages, Some of it was unbelievably hard and terrible, with much of what is now the habitable world covered with grinding ice and thundering glaciers—the sky no doubt gray and filled with whistling winds and the repeated drift of snow- flakes and sheets of chill rain. At other tinges, the world we know was comparatively genial, with substropical vegetation and animals, and with many of the waste places habitable and hunt - able. The North Sea was dry land where our ancestors shot long -vanished animals, the Saha- ra Desert was a vast parkland with water and grass and trees like the big -game -hunting sec- tions of Africa today, and the now barren canyons and sage. brush plains of the American Southwest were wooded and well watered; not our world, but a hunter's paradise, The experts believe that recog- nizable men have existed on this earth for half a million years; and from 500,000 B,C, (give or take a few thousand) to the comparatively recent date of 5000 B,C., they were what we know as cave men, Yet their life was more intel- ligent and complicated, we may almost say comfortable, than one would expect,—Front "Talents and Genulses, The Pleasures of Appreciation," by Gilbert Highet. Joker Was Wild The horses that are picked for saddle bronc riding, the classic event of rodeo, are generally farm animals gone psycho, Truly wild horses seldom make good broncs. Most buck through the first few rides, then go docile, But an exception was cut from a roving band on the South Da- kota prairies a dozen years ago. He was a big three-year-old bay. They n a m e d him Joker and, cowboys agreed, the Joker was wild — perhaps the roughest bronc alive. Even this y e a r, at fifteen, Joker hated to be ridden. At rodeos around the country, 31 cowboys tried; he dumped 25 of them. At Harrisburg, Pa., two weeks ago, J o k e r tossed two more cowboys. He also bruised his head, but no one thought the injury was serious. On his way to a ranch in Col- orado last month to rest before next month's National Finals Rodeo at Dallas, Joker died, a victim of tetanus contracted af- ter the injury.

Her team, Pi Beta Phi, won over Zeta Tau Alpha 12-6, Litterbugging In The Ocean To a Channel swimmer, a lib- eral coating of grease provides protection from the cold. But to a North Atlantic sea bird, a spot of grease or oil the size of a quarter means almost certaln death since it mats feathers and the thick insulating fluff under- neath, letting in the ocean's bit- ter cold, With the demise of coal -burn- ing ships, more and more oil has been pouring on these troubled. birds—oilers clean out their tanks at sea, burnt lubricants are dumped overboard, cargo ships flushtheir fuel tanks when empty. The Labrador cur- rent picks up the slick in nor- thern sen lanes and concentrates it off Newfoundland—a major wintering area for hundreds of thousands of eider ducks, razor - billed auks, and thick -billed murres. In 1957. a thousand dead birds a day were washed up on a 90 -mile stretch of the New- foundland coast, and this year even more came ashore, The Gulf current transports the lethal waste to the shores of Northern Europe which have been similarly littered. There is no way,,of course, to count thuse that die at sea and sink, but few by comparison ever float ashore, "Litterbugging at its zenith" is the phrase John A, Livingston, executive director of the Audu- bon Society of Canada, used last month to describe oil dumping at sea. Livingston, in New York to attend the National Audubon Society's 55th annual convention. warned that commercial fisher. men on the Atlantic, as well as bird lovers and beachgoers, have _good reason for concern about this wholesale destruction of sc'1 birds. The ,food chain of the sea from bird guano to plankton to flsh to fish market could be severely disrupted, he said, if the oil -slick problem is not solved. Prohibiting , the dumping of oil and grease at sea is the ob- vious answer, according to Liv- ingston, but he acknowledged that a shipowner "is going to have to think rather highly of sea birds to take an extra day" In port when it costs up to $3,000 a day to keep a ship in port while its tanks are flushed. The practical answer, Living- ston added. probably lies in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by 011, a pact that has as many words in its title as mem- ber nations, Forty-two countr. leg attended the 1954 London conference, but only twelve have actually signed. The agree- ment prohibits oil dumping in coastal areas, ansl pact members dope to 'extend the prohibition to a 300 -mile sweep east and south of Newfoundland. Even- tually, the signatories plan to outlaw all oil dumping at sea. But the pact binds only its mem- bers, The members include Canada and the United Kingdom, but not the U,S.—though the U.S. does put restrictions on its own shipping that are more stringent than those of the convention. But Livingston wants the active participation of the country he calls "the cradle of public rela- tions" for the ,effect it would have on indifferent countries. "To put it quite frankly," he added, "the United States is a good name for our letterhead," Whether the North Atlantic's water -fowl population will reach a point of no return is anybody's guess, observed Livingston. However, he warned, "I have not yet heard of any species which could take this sort of thing in Its stride."—From NEWSWEEIC, DRIVE CAREFULLY — The life you save may be your own, THE VOICE MEETS ROYALTY — Frank Sinatra chats with Princess Marie Cecile of Prussia at a benefit ball in Hollywood, The event was held to raise funds to place homeless children of Europe and Asia in American homes. Buried Himself To Cash Insurance The get -rich -quick scheme was worth $10,000. That sum repre- sented the life insurance value of a lovely twenty -four-year-old American mother, which two plotters, one the beneficiary un- der the policy, hoped to collect. They laid their plans with diabolical cunning. Approaching a bridge near Idaho Falls, with her baby boy, Mrs. Roene Gas- ser had not the slightest inkling of danger until the ground sud- denly exploded violently be- neath her. Dynamite, fired electrically. lifted her car into the air, break- ing it into pieces. But, miracu- lously, she emerged from the wreckage with comparatively light injuries. And her baby boy was unscathed, The law pounced quickly on the two men, one a youngster of eighteen, whose fiendish plot had miscarried. Convicted of as- sault with intent to commit mur- der, each is now serving fourteen years' imprisonment. Unquestioned is the wisdom of taking out adequate insurance to cover all such risks as burg- lary, fire, accident, sudden death or disability in old age. But now and then, unscrupulous people attempt to exploit insurance companies with remarkable cleverness, One international trickster, s. Rumanian, conceived the idea of bumping himself off in differ- ent countries and collecting the insurance on himself1 At Youngstown, Pa., he staged a roadside fatality, using an- other corpse as his own. He stuffed some of his own identity papers, including a copy of his marriage certificate and a re- ceipt for payment of his last life policy premium, into the pockets of the victim, whose face was badly disfigured. The swindler then disappear- ed. Who the real casualty was remains unknown to this day. Some investigators suspect that he may have been murdered. But everything subsequently worked out as the trickster planned. His wife, living with relatives, in Belgium, was noti- fied of his "death." The Ameri- can company paid out the insur- ance claim, $5,000. But hardly had this windfall descended on his wife than he ar- rived, representing himself as her long -lost brother and, with great gusto, proceeded to spend his illicit gains, The highlight of this fraud came when, after insuring him- self even more heavily, he re - LONG DROP — Jack Martin, 17, sits despondent on a curbing • after his car dropped from the street above onto busy Rt, 25 In Dayton. He had fallen out. of the car when he reached to close a door, Ho wr,s- not injured. turned to his homeland and, taking advantage of local flood- ing, added his own name to the already long list of casualties. Then, with the local adminis- tration at sixes and sevens, he disguised himself, and reported his own death! Subsequently, with a student accomplice, he proceeded to bury himself in that part of the local cemetery reserved for Seventh Day Ad- ventists! It was perfectly done. He drove the hearse with his coffin, a crucle home-made affair, perch- ed on the floorboards, and calm- ly conducted. his own burial ser- vice. But before his wife could collect the 50,000 Swiss francs suspicions were roused. The lo- cal police acted on an exhuma- tion order, Judge their amazement when, having dug up the coffin and pried it open, they pulled out the "corpse" a sackful of earth covered with a shroud of old newspapers. For this cold-blood- ed fraud, the swindler was put away for eight years. Some firms set their faces hard against taking out Guar- anteed Fidelity insurances. This covers them against defrauding employees. They believe in the trusted employee principle, Ninety-nine times out of a hun- dred, such faith is abundantly justified. But exceptions arise. One appeared recently when a much respected inan was ar- rested, Over the years, he had worked himself into the position of his company's secretary, giv- ing him full control of the ao• counts, And it wasn't until a director's interest Wall roused because of his rather frequent absences, due to "stomach trou- ble," that the books were ex- amined, It was discovered that when he was supposed to be away 111 be was really at the races. Bet- ting on horses was his master passion. To gratify it, he was stealing from his employers at the rate of $45,000 a year. Not even his wife suspected this evil weakness of his. His arrest came as a tremendous shock to her. She was even more shocked when she learned the size of his thefts. Insurance men tell many good stories of narrowly averted cala- mities, Often a quirk of fate can save their companies from meet- ing heavy claims. Such a 'situa- tion prevailed when, a few weeks ago, two dockers, unload- ing a banana ship at Southamp- ton picked up a snake. "Isn't she a beauty?" said one, "let's take her to the uni- versity." So the two men seized. their prize and walked with it two miles to the university. The laboratory assistant look- ed at their offering with horror. "Lay it down very gently," he said. They did. He instantly clapped a glass case over it, then told them it was a green mamba, o n e of the deadliest snakes in the world. It wasn't dead but only drowsy, Luckily for them! Had it been in the leash lively, nei- ther man would have walked more than a few yards. • Damages awarded in accident cases sometimes help the victim to discover a 'new activity, With a capital sum, he can realize long -held dreams and start his own business, A beautiful girl, perfecting her actin g• in repertory, toured America and won a TV contract in Hollywood.

PHONE BLYTH 44R5 Pinon Nut Crop Starts Fun Fest Throughout the area of north• ern New Mexico, from the land of the Navajos to the hills around Santa Fe, miles of pin - on forests have been scatter- ing a bonanza of minute mahog- any -colored nuts. There has not been such a crop for years. It has upset the calm of this an- cient land more than did the ex- plosion of the first atomic bomb or the discovery of uranium. Along the highways, along dirt roads in all directions, cars are parked in long lines. Los Alamos auto plates indicate that resid- ents of the atomic city have fall- en under the lure of the min- ute nut, about the size and shape: of a girl's smallest fingernail Laborers, businessmen, artists, and writers with their families, joined 'Martinez, Gonzales, and Garcia delegations shoulder to shoulder, Some came in Cadil- lacs, some in ancient pickup trucks. Some rode in on horse- back and some walked. It did not make any differ- ence whether the bonanza fell on public or private land. Why should it? The sky was solid tur- quoise. Aspen gold dripped over the nearby mountains, Pickers crawled over barbed-wire fences, they slid between gaps in the wire, They carried immense picking sacks over one shoulder and copious hags of lunch over the other. It was a hilarious invasion sparked with laughter, greetings, and children's delighted squeals. No one complained, until after a couple of weeks when property owners found their pinon ;WITS littered with lunch wrappings and many of their fences flat on the ground. Some of the harvesters hunt- ed for pack rats' nests where it was rumored as many as a doz- en pounds of the minute nuts could he found hidden for win- ter eating by the industrious little animals. It also was ru- mored that there was an ancient law in the state which decreed that whoever robbed the nest of a pack rat Hurst replace his find with a like amount of corn or wheat. The statutes were searched, and the local press announced that no such law had been uncovered, writes Dorothy L. Pillsbury in The Christian 3cicnce Monitor. But the Martinez, Gonzales, Garcia contingent smiled know- ingly. Fair replacement was not a law of the land, but a law of the heart as their ancestors had taught them. That was because the Spanish settlers in the re- gion esteemed the nutritious little nuts asa welcome embel- lishment to their monotonous diet of beans, corn, and chili. In the adobes of the richer ones, one special servant was set apart 10 crack the little nuts with a *tone rolling pin and to extract The toothsome kernel. Indians valued the little nut likewise. It is said that Indian tribes waging war on one an- other forgot their differences during a good pinon harvest and picked the nuts one another's territory. Once the harvest was gathered, wars were resumed. So much had pinon nuts be- come a part of Indian eating that during World War II Indian boys in the Army scattered throughout the world, ask e d, but one remembrance at Christ- mas. "Send us pinon nuts," they answered the inquiring agencies. But pinon nuts have caused some complications in the re- gion. There was the case of the irate professor in the University of New Mexico who, some years ago, in desperation scrawled in chalk letters on his blackboard, "If you must eat pinon nuts in class, kindly put shells in your pocket, not on the floor!" - And the teachers with Navajo • children in their classrooms in autumn often found their classes deserted for weeks during pinon- picking time. Picking and selling pinon nuts was a solid plank in Navajo economy in the days of their poverty — before ura- nium. Navajo pickers can pick with both hands, which few others can do. Cameras Explore Sunken City Exploration of the sunken pirate city of Port Royal, Ja- maica, Inas gotten under way in Kingston Harbor. Luis Marden, writer -photog- rapher of the National Geo- graphic Society, and Mendel L. Peterson, curator of naval his- tory of the Smithsonian Institu- tion, have joined the expedition. Led by Edwin A. Link, deep- sea explorer and inventor of the Link trainer for fliers, the ex- pedition will attempt to recover and date relics from the 17th century Caribbean port. It was reputed to he the wickedest city in the world when its loot -laden warehouses, shops, and two ships were swallowed up by earth- quake and sea in one great gulp in 1692. Though murky water and the silt -covered floor of Kingston Harbor snake exploration diffi- cult, the expedition has the hest in electronic equipment, metal detectors, diving and salvage gear, and .camera accessories, '1'o aid photography, Mr, Mar- den will use a special "turbidity eliminator." The 300 - pound, four -foot -long device is attached to a camera to provide a sealed funnel of crystal-clear, distilled, filtered water between the lens and the object to be photo- graphed. Mr. Link is joined by his wife, Marion, author of the recent Nflok on undersea adventure en- titled "Sea Diver," Expedition headquarters is aboard their new, powerful, 91 -foot research yacht, Sea Diver II. It is the first vessel designed and espe- cially built for underwater arc- haeological work. The Links are veteran explor. ers of waters off southern Florida and islands of the West Indies. In her book, Mrs. Link tells how they became interested in Port Royal—the lair of pirates, buc- caneers, adventurers, and vil- lains of the Spanish Main, Be- fore the city's abrupt encs, sea- farers in pilfered silks swagger- ed about the streets, noisily spending their ill-gotten pieces of eight. "From all we could gather, no real attempt had even been made to salvage it," Mrs. Link said. "Eventually we were to feel compelled to explore those long. lost ruins. The urge was irresist- ible." Three years ago the Links and Mr. Peterson made a preliminary investigation of the drowned city, This was followed by ex- tensive research that led as far afield as London. SPACE COMMUTERS EXPRESS — How tomorrow's spaceman may get up in — and out of — the world is told in drawing, It shows the operation of a space ferry which could be used as a shuttle between earth and a space station. With its arrow•shaped wings folded, the vehicle would be lifted into orbit by a three - stage rocket (1) (2). There, 300 to 500 miles high, the pilot w,uld open the huge 1,000 -square -foot wings (3) and navi- g.rtr to a rendezvous with the station (4). After transferring pas-engers and cargo, the ship would then be guided back to earth (5) to prepare for another trip. The "commuter ex- p ass" would be able to carry four men and some 14,000 nJunr.!s of cargo into orbit.

A timetable for cooking tur- key will he found at the top of this article. Here are a few points to remember after your turkey is done: Allow turkey to stand In roasting pan 15-30 minutes so that juices may be absorbed, Remove all trussing equipment, such as skewers and cord. Place bird on a warrn large platter. Use a simple garnish — don't overdo it. Carve at table so everyone can enjoy the full glamour ' of the activity. Carve with a very sharp, thin -bladed knife and a fork with a guard. Carve enough meat at one time to serve all . guests. There is a standard way of carving turkey which is, briefly, to remove leg, slice drumstick meat on a side plate, slice thigh meat, cut into white meat paral- lel to wing, slice white meat. Serve each person portions of both white and dark meat, and serve stuffing from turkey. { h • Turkey pie is a favorite for after -holiday dinners and may be topped with crust, with mash- ed potatoes, or with plain or seasoned biscuits. Here is one topped with caraway -cheese his - cults. It serves 6-8.

Roll out to 1 inch in thickness. Cut with floured 1% -inch biscuit cut- ter. Place on top of turkey mix- ture. Bake at 450°F, about 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Serve r.t once.

By Richard Cashman NEA Staff Correspondent It is the consensus of those who know—child psychologists, toy buyers, Santa costumers and Santas themselves—that Christ- mas today is for the grown-ups. The kiddies are too smart. Point one, they say, is that it's a moot question whether daddy comes into the toy de- partment to buy something for the youngsters, or because lie loves to see and toy with the toys himself. The 'fact of the natter is, says Bill McDuffy, the toy buyer for Gimbels in New York, , during the four-week buying spree be- fore Christmas, some 30,000 par- ents a day traipse through the department (including papa who is supposed to be working), look- ing; fingering or all-out playing at the counters. Only 5,000 of then actually buy anything. The kiddies, of course, cone in on Saturdays, but by then the folks are worn out and al- ready armed with an idea of what they (the old folks) want to play with on Christmas morning. And to whom are their toy catalogues sent, McDuffy fur- ther lays on. To whom, indeed, but adults. And who will dispute the Christmas morning fact that it is dear old dad on his hands and knees playing with the new electric train he bought, while Junior plays with the crate in which it came? In point of further fact, a noted child -parent counseling team says, it's natural for Junior to prefer playing with the toy crates than the toys, The team—Willard and Mar- guerite Beecher, authors of "Parents on the Run"—say that to children nowadays, Christ- mas means only more and high- er -priced presents than they re- ceive during the rest of the year. The original meaning and spirit of Christmas is fast fading to the younger folk, the Beeeh- ers maintain, along with the old family "togetherness and t h e original do-it-yourself Christ- mas." Mrs. Beecher recalls—as will other sympathetic grown-ups — that as a girl the Yule season was a high point of the year. The entire family had a hand In the preparations. They all went out to chop down the tree. They all decorated it, they alt helped whip the house into shape, and the festive spirit pre- vailed. Now, the Beecher, say, Christ- mas is no treat for the kids, jtist a chafe, The parties are welcom- ed as are the special Christmas TV programs and dates to the holiday dances, but as for fool- ing around with "that Santa bit, that's for the kids" (meaning parents). And the parents love it. Even with the morning after's mesa, and the bills, they stop at noth- ing to recapture the Yuletide spirit — and their youth. The further proof is the esti- mated 14 billion dollars the adults will spend from the be- ginning of December on, That figure was arrived at. by sub- tracting November's estimated retail figure from December's; the only means anybody has of really figuring out the vast ex- penditure made by adult Ameri- cans at Christmas. Of course, stores are moving up the buying season to middle August and sometimes even July, Decorations are brought out after Labour Day. Christmas cards have always enjoyed buy - it -cheaper -now summer sales. An association of retail mer- chants says that as far as 'he stores are concerned, "the Christ - season really starts on December 26." And a brief thumb -through of the Classified Book in your city gives any number of avail- able costumers whose whole business is concerned with rent- ing or selling Santa Claus cos- tumes — at any time of the year. Further support for the Christ- mas - is - for - the - folks theory comes from Santa hi;.,:z;;1F at (east the ehiet-Sdiita of a major department store. (He's really only a helper, Dad.) The ropes around his throne, Santa, says, are there to keep the parents back, not the kids. And for every child on his knee, there are three adults in line.. "The poor children just don't have a chance," Santa says. "The parents that bring him to me are the real kids; just a little bigger."

ISSUE 50 — 1959 FASHION HINT r1^r' "ifl:'•irNy + �fi:S':iC..lrp" Good Neighbors And Fences Ever since Rural Free Deliv- ery was established, our. neigh- bors across the street have shared our mailbox post, so we met on the site the other morn- ing to discuss repairs after a gale -wind blew it down, The post is on my side of the road because the route comes down- hill, and the Post Office Depart- ment still requires that the box be located for the convenience of a horse -and -buggy scat. We found the post had rotled away at the base, so it would have toppled soon anyway, wind or no, Bud, our mailman, had continued down the road when I heard the thump. Before I could get out, the rain had soaked the mail, and I dragged the post and boxes onto the lawn out of traffic. These two boxes were new when the RFD system was started, which was in 1896. Be- fore that, farmers had to go to the village for mail, and usual- ly anybody making the trip brought back the letters for all the neighborhood. The new ser- vice was cheered, and before the first driver made the route everybody had to put up a box. Manufacturers embraced the op- portunity, and there first ap- peared the phrase: "Approved by the Postmaster General." Although the two boxes on cur post are unlike, they were both approved, and neither is like the common box of cont. mens, today,". which has an end opening, Oui - are= originals, antiques. Moreover, they are made of heavy gauge sheet, well galvanized, and each weighs at least three times what a modern RFD box will. Perhaps ten times, if you get aluminum. My neighbor and I surveyed the damage and he said, "I've got a post, spruce." "Let's try spruce," I said. "This one was fir." So I got a screwdriver and wrench and he got his post -hole auger and cleaned out a hole. He came lugging the pole, and with a few swipes of the double - bitted ax he beveled the top, and hewed a flat place to attach the boxes. He shoved the post in the hole, tamped in the dirt, wob- 'biad it to see if it were tight, and said, "There," He picked up his tools and went home. I've often thought Robert Frost's poem about mending wall was thoroughly outside my own experiences. It may be a differ- ence between Maine and Ver- mont. Seems to me the poet and his neighbor approached the thing with an indifference, real ly, and were doing as an obli- gation or duty something that could otherwise have been a good deal more fun, Every time I do anything with my neighbors, I have fun. The fun alone Is worth the trouble, and the work is all dividend. Frost's neighbor was pitching his fidelity on an aphorism, was mending wall simply because "good fences make good neigh hors." I think the exact oppo- site is far more desirable, main- ly: "Good neighbors make good fences." 1 think neighboring is an opportunity and a delight, not a duty to be approached'mech- anically, like whipping a boy "for his own good." I think it's possible to bring the boy up on fewer adages, and still find him useful, Anyway, my neighbor and I didn't quote any old saws or investigate the common law, When he said, "There," and went home, he signified that the work had been fairly divided, and his part of the job was done. As soon as I attached the boxes, we'd be in businessagain. His division was unchallenged, and I was satisfied, Actually, he had done the hard work. He'd reamed CROSSWORD PUZZLE • ACROSS 1.

Constituting n whole out the hole, and he'd shaped the post, Putting up the boxes was much easier, It turned out that this wasn't exactly so, For an interesting reason, What he had done, more muscular, was within easy reach of a man equipped' with only two hands, What he had left for me, the easier part, required a man with four hands, which 1 don't have, I found, at once, that I needed two hands to hold up a box, and two more to start and take up the screws. I grinned to myself, and wondered if he'd thought of this. We'll never know, I made out all right. I had to do a little rigging. I used the broken -off post as a prop, and got the first box into position and steadied, Then I. center - punched for the screw holes, and by teetering on one foot and using the aff knee I was able to both hold and twist. The sec- ond box, his, went up the same way. • It would have been so much easier if he had hung' around long enough to hold the boxes for me while I got the screws started, but as I fussed and jug- gled I could hear him pounding on a leak in his henhouse roof. He was satisfied that the ameni- ties of mending wall had been met, and that if I needed fur- ther assistance I would resort to. the other part of neighboring, which is "calling on." It is all right to "offer," but not when the situation is predicated on "calling on." And, naturally, I didn't call on. This problem was on my side of the' line, and he was busy. I took all the lagscrews up another quarter turn, to make sure, and laid down the tools. I grasped each box and wobbled it, to see if it were tight. They were tight, Solid and secure. Ready for Bud when he would come the next day with more bills and fliers. Approved by the Postmaster General, they were now approved by me, too, and seemed to be just the right height for a buggy seat, as re- quired.

Went The Natives' Cash By inventing their own version of the European banking system, some natives. on Simberi Island, In the Australian -administered territory of New Guinea, have run into serious trouble. They set up, recently, as money kings or local bankers, seeking to exploit the "Cargo Cult" superstition, According to this belief, favoured tribesmen could set aside special offerings and then, one, day, they would be rewarded by the arrival of a shipload of white man's goods. All the merchandise aboard would be theirs. The exploiters said they had a better system to conjure forth this desired bounty. So they in- vited villagers to entrust them with money and goods, saying these would be boxed and kept In specially built houses, known as ."house bang bangs." "There," they told the gullible natives, "your treasure will grow," Many. were deceived • and handed over• money and goods. Now thus,. `prljnitive banking system hacp. been brought to an abrupt halt;` Ant' the ringleaders have been arrested. Meanwhile, district patrol offi- cers are trying to undo the harm caused by these swindles. 0111 MY ACIHING HEAD Have you ever noticed how much noise christmas tree nee- dles. make as they drop to the floor on New Year's morning? 12.

In these tests, Hereford bulls and bulls of Charbray breeding were turned out with a com- mercial herd of Hereford cow9 In southwestern Saskatchewan. The cows were bred at random, • « * At weaning 25 crossbred steers and 25 Hereford steers were selected at random, They were weighed, removed to a commercial feed lot and fed in two groups to slaughter finish. • * « Successful crossbreeding for hybrid vigor involving British beef breeds is not new to west- ern Canadian cattlemen, Nor have the possibilities of improving the beef breeds with other imports been ignored. The purebred Brahman, for example, is not too adaptable to western range conditions but when crossed with any of the main breeds, an offspring re- sults that has certain advantages over Herefords, • The introduction of Charolais and Charbray bulls to this coun- try is also being watched with interest by the industry for its potentialities in crossbreeding. * * • Sunflower seed oil meal ranks high as a major protein supple- ment for laying hens, judging from experimental results from the Canada Department of Agri- culture, * * In rations containing 2.0 or 2.5 per cent fish meal, the complete replacement of other supple- mentary protein sources with sunflower seed oil meal had no Influence on: -mortality. -egg production. -egg weight. -body weight maintenance. However, when meat meal was replaced » by its protein equivalent of sunflower seed oil meal, and by an equivalent amount of mineral supplements, feed consumption tended to be higher. Since low dietary energy is us- ually associated. with high feed consumption, it appears that the sunflower seed oil meal diet was relatively low in energy. « • * These experiments involved 324 pullets confined to individual cages and 030 pullets in floor pens. * * $ At Belleville, Ont., scientists of the Canada Department of Agriculture's Entomology Re- search Institute for Biological Control are discovering ways of controlling weeds by using the insects that attack then), Toadflax is not a serious prob- lem in Ontario, where the seeds are attacked by a beetle, but it is increasing rapidly on farm- lands in the prairie provinces, where this beetle does not exist. i3eetles collected in Ontario were liberated at Marsden, Sask., and Codesa, in the Peace River district of Alberta. They died out at Marsden during a severe win- ter, but they have increased and spread in the Peace River district. • * « It is too soon to say whether or not the beetle will- reduce the spread of the weed in Al- berta, It is not expected to wipe out existing stands, as the weed spreads by underground stems, which are not attacked by the beetle, as well as by seeds. Because of this, a search is being made in Europe for insects that will attack the stems and roots. If found, they will be test- ed intensively under quarantine at Belleville to ensure that they will not attack crop plants. Any that survive may be liberated in Canada, • * • Attempts to control St. John's Wort in British Columbia by liberating three kinds of beetles obtained from abroad have been only moderately successful, and a search for other suitable insects is in progress in Europe, A leaf -eating caterpillar is be- ing tested at Belleville to see If it is ' suitable to control tansy ragwort in eastern.

WI/ Good News for the World Luke 2:8-14, Acts 11:19-26 Memory Selection: I bring yol good tidings of great joy, wine) shall be to all people. For untl you is born this day in the ctts of Daviel a Saviour, which I Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11. The poet said, "'Twas great to speak 4 world from nought, 'Twas greater to redeem" If that be true, then no won- der that beginning of the visible act of redemption should call forth an angelic choir to an. nounce it. No wonder that Satan and his servants sought to des- troy the Christ child. Much of the beauty of th1 Christmas story lies in its simpli- city. Anyone can understand it, The fact that Jesus was born in such humble circumstances help! us to realize that He is for u1 all. With Him there are no bar- riers of rank or wealth. The good tidings of great joy is for all peo- ple. The second part of our lesson tells of this good news reaching the Greeks in the city of Antioch. Many of them believed on the Lord Jesus, When word of this reached Jerusalem, the Jewish capital, Barnabas was despatched to the scene. He was thrilled to see that Greeks as well as Jews were sharing in the benefits of this great salvation. Under his ministry many more turned to the Lord. Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to get Saul whom he had earlier befriended in Jeru- salem. Saul came and together they pastored this church for a year. It was during this time that the disciples were first called 'christians'. It was very approp- riate. Disciples are people who believe in Christ and by Hill grace endeavour to follow His example in their way of living. Over 1900 years have passed since the Good News came on that first Chirstmas morn. Still there are millions who haven't heard. There are millions of others in our so-called Christian lands, who have heard but haven't heeded, What are we do- ing about it? Are we witnessing by our lives? David said of his being lifted out of the mire, "Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:4. He gave a verbal witness, too. He said, "I have not refrain- ed my lips, - I have not con- cealed," "I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation." Are we passing on the Good News?
