Firemen Answer fall To Morris

.011 Monday evening the local Fire
Brigade answered a call to the farm
of Air. and Mrs. Laurie- Scott, Morris
township.
Al. approximately 9:15 p.m, the
Scott's netted flanges at the side of
the barn and first thought was that
Rev. D. J. Lane, B.A., Minister, the 'barn was . on fire, However,
closer inspection revealed that hot
soot ft'orn stove pipes that had been
cleaned in the manure spreader hail
ignited. Quick action by the Scott's
and their neighbours, had the wire
well under control when the Depart-
' nett arrived.
Air, and Mrs. Scutt must be com-
mended on their prompt action in
phoning the Fire Briadc. Muclt leo
often people, noticing fire, will take
time to inspect the size of the blaze
before calling the fire truck. In doing
so, by the time the brigade is notifien
and react- the scene of the fire, the
[lames have reached such proportions
that they- are impossible to extinguish.
Especially when the fire is out of
town and the supply of, water on the
truck limited..

Canadian Legion it was decided that
the local Branch would sponsor an im
lamellate team, comprised of the

arena was built, in 1950.
The lean will have players frets
Blyth and the • surrounding arca in-
cluding Auburn, Lontleshot'o and Bel -
grave. Already two practices have.
been 1101(1 on artificial ice at Clinton,
and from all appearances, Blyth
should have a strong contending team.
Anyone wishing a tryout is asked to
be at the Clinton arena next Monday
evening, when another practice will
he held.
Blyth will be entered in a group with
I. Cclumban, Scaforth, Tceswater,

A Cool Cai
On A Fipple!
Making music is multiplying
so fast that 30,000,000 Americans
are "far out" (extremely advanc-
ed; gone) as nonprofessional,
do-it-yourself hipsters. And 21,-
000,000 are adults — many of
them delayed playing or looking
at the maps (arrangements) un-
til they had eyes to cool it (the
desire to relax),
But now there are 21,000,001,
• for this reporter recently be-
came a finger popper (a swing-
ing musician) with the recorder.
Let no one sell a recorder
short. It is a lovely wood -wind
instrument, It is a 14th to 16th
century advancement over the
fipple flute of the 5th century,
This in turn was a descendant
of the syrinx panpipe flute of
Egyptian origin, By the same
token, the ancestry does not help
one to learn to play it — you
have to get untwisted before you
go far out.
Yet, 70,000 recorders will be
cold this year with a retail value
of about $700,000, About 60 per
cent of these will be purchased
by adults over 30. About 500,000
persons are actively playing re-
corders today.
These wailers (those who play,
blow, or perform outstandingly)
are not to be confused with the
millions who perform on an
ax (any instrument, including
piano). And there are millions
of these. Actually, for the past
three years about 12,600 adults
each year have started class mu-
sic instruction. There is no
knowing how many have gone in
for self -instruction. The total
number of adults registered in
classes in 1959 is about 75,000,
writes Harry C. Kenney in The
Christian Science Monitor.
Some of these will become
Loose wigs (uninhibited, beyond -
musicians) and some will be ly-
ing (conformists, playing the
notes, not improvising). But few
will have my experience.
The instructions that came
with my beautiful German wood
wind say that owing to its great
simplicity one can easily learn
to play the recorder. I live in
an apartment, and my neighbor
upstairs says this is not so — my
"learning" was giving him a
hard time. He is a good fellow
but a monkey (a music critic,
he sees no music, hears no mu-
sic, digs no music).
Then I went out into the foot-
hills of lovely Connecticut and
started to practice in a saddle -
horse pasture. Shortly, very
shortly in fact, a police prowl -
car rushed up and shooed me
off — the neighbors, unseen, had
heard, and that was too much
They just did not appreciate the
embryonic dulcet tones,
But by perseverance in the
woodlands of New York, Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire, I worked from the
fingering charts to "A Wee IMIan
All Alone," "Loch Lomond,"
"Dip Your Bread, Mary," and
"Amaryllis."
As the light began to dawn
and my fingers became more
nimble, I graduated to "The
Nightingale," "Hot Cross Buns,"
"Came a Bird to My Window,"
and finally, with great satisfac-
tion, "Theme From The Ninth
Symphony."
At this point I expect soon to
become a member of the Ameri-
can Recorder Society — an as-
sociation devoted to "anyone
who plays the recorder — no
formal requirements are neces-
sary,"

that there are nonprofessional
musical groups established in
many cities across the country
who welcome strangers, travel-
ers, and businessmen who be-
come stranded while in the pur-
suit of their profession, All one
has to do is call up the group
in the city and join in the scene
(any place where musicians play
or gather).
The only ticket or expense is
a joy for making common mu-
sic. The "scene"' is usually a

do you learn to play that thing?"
Sleep Goes West
If You Face South
When you sleep does your head
point to the north? If so, you
probably sleep better than peo-
ple who sleep with their heads
pointing south, east or west.
That's the theory, anyway, of
a team of scientists in the United
States who conducted a series of
experiments to study the influ-
ence of the earth's magnetism on
the human body.
"If you want to awake feeling
refreshed in mind and body, pay
attention to the position of your
bed," they advise,
"The head should rest to the
north, or in line with the earth's
main magnetic field of force,
which exists in the direction
north to south,"
In some sanatoriums abroad
the authorities deliberately seek
the north when they place their
patients' beds in position, They
maintain that "north sleepers"
come under the soothing influ-
ence of the Magnetic Pole and
that as a result the spectre of
insomnia is banished.
A doctor who died at the great
age of 109 had slept with his
head north and his feet south
ever since he was a young man.
He always declared that when
you lie north and south you are
"in a direct line with the mag-
netic currents passing between
the two poles and these currents,
in passing through the body, en-
sure a regular circulation of the
blood and help to maintain the
tissues,"
In London a professor of psy-
chology said some time ago that
there was ample foundation for
the belief that the position of
the bed had some effect on the
quality of a person's sleep,
"Magnetic and other cosmic
forces undoubtedly influence the
processes of our minds and
bodies," he declared,
He called his girl Candy Bar.
Not because she was sweet, but
because she was half nuts.

Try Your Turkey
Grandma's Way
By GAILE DUGAS
NEA Women's Editor
When we sit down to Christ-
mas dinner this year, let's all
be merry, every last one of us,
over the fact that great -grand-
ma didn't cook it.
Because, all the legends to the
contrary, the American woman
of a century ago probably was
a poor cook, Proof comes in
Peterson's Magazine, the Nov-
ember
owemberand December issues for
1859. (Peterson's Magazine, like
Godey's Lady's Book, was in
eveiy Victorian home.)
Now, to the Christmas turkey,
Tired of the roasted drumstick?
Sick of basting? Then try it
great -grandma's way. She just
dropped the bird into a pot and
boiled it. Here's her recipe:
"Procure a large turkey, make
a nice force -meat of veal and
stuff the craw of the turkey;
skewer it for boiling and boll
it until it is almost done; take
up your turkey and put it in a
pot with some of the water it
was boiled in, then put seven
or eight heads of celery into the
water the turkey was boiled in,
till they are tender; take then
out and put your turkey in,
breast side down and stew it a
quarter of an hour. Thicken your
sauce with half a pound of but-
ter and enough flour to make it
pretty thick and a quarter of a
pint of rich cream and then add
the celery, Pour the celery and
sauce upon the turkey's breast
and serve it up,"
Next on this .Christmas menu
is plum pudding, which sounds
more like bread stuffing made
with raisins. Please notice great -
grandma used store - bought
bread. Here we go:
"Take one loaf of baker's
bread, broken up and pour over
it three pints of warm milk and
let it stand for an hour. While
warm put in a piece of butter
as large as an egg, half a pound
of raisins, six eggs and half a
pound of currants, citron, nut-
meg and brandy and anything
else you please. Bake it three
hours and eat it with a wine
sauce."
This is a stretchy kind of
recipe, "Anything, else" went
when great -grandma was in the
kitchen,
One thing that was always
in the kitchen with her was a
bottle of sherry. A shining ex-
amples comes toward the end of
a soup recipe:
"Pass the soup through n
sieve, skim off the fat, and put
it on the fire with a little pow-
dered arrowroot to thicken it,
When It is sufficiently thick,
pour in sherry wine and season
to your taste".
Great -grandma poured the
stuff into everything: stewed

The last word on our ances-

an expert, Mrs, Harriet Beecher
Stowe. In 1869, she wrote a book
called "The American Woman's
Home." In it, she says:
"The abundance of material
we have in America is in great
.contrast with the style' of cook-
ing most prevalent in our
country. How often do we sit
down to tables loaded with mat-
erial originally of the best kind
which has been so spoiled in
the treatment that there is really
nothing to eat! Green biscuits

Who's man enough to beat a
three centuries old sporting rec-
ord? The amazing thing is that
any athletic record should exist
for so long. But back in 1798,
Sultan Selim, of Turkey, scored
what archery experts describe as
the world's longest shot with an
arrow, Linking his giant strength
with a giant bow, he sent an ar-
row flashing. over 972.07 yds.
An American archer recently
tried to beat this. He equipped
himself with a super fifty -four -
inch maple bow with a two hun-
dred and fifty pound pull, and
settled down into his firing posi-
tion at Lancaster Airport, Penn-
sylvania. He flexed his legs
against the how's shaft stretch-
ed with all his might and un-
leashed what he hoped would be
a world beater.
Away whizzed his twenty -live -
inch arrow, streaking over the
airfield's half -mile mark, but
plummeted down a total distance
of 937.13 yds, away. He'd failed
by nearly thirty-five yards to clip
the Sultan's record,
He was too exhausted to try
again. Perhaps there's a descend-
ant of Robin Hood somewhere in
this country who will rise to the
challenge. He'll need, though, to
pull his bow like a mule,

Pocket Knife
The degeneration of the "knife"
Into -.a . component of juvenile
delinquency shows as well as
anything to what base uses the_
fine arts may be turned in a
society that misconstrues its pur-
poses. I am grateful for a letter
from Tracy Stalker, who tells me
knives "or other dangerous wea-
pons" have been deleted from
schools. It's pretty hard to look
at that edict and still believe
boys are no worse than they used
to be. Certainly knives are no
worse.
My own ownership of a lethal
capable, businesslike knife goes
back beyond my own recollec-
tion. I had a knife as soon as I
can remember having one, and
so did every other boy 1 'grew
up with, Indeed, I had several
knives, Foremost was the pocket-
knife, a jacknife; which folded
for the hip pocket, and was as
much a part of our normal accou-
terment as the pants that sup-
ported the pocket. This knife was
everyday.
I also had a fish knife, a longer
and leaner blade, that got sum-
mertime use if we went fishing.
Then I had a sheath knife, kept
(harp as a razor in my sea chest,
which had never been to sea, and
[ didn't get it out much, If I
went camping, maybe, but it had
to be worn on a belt and wasn't
as handy as the others
Of course, the sheath knife is
traditional state -o' -Maine equip-
ment, for both sailors and woods-
men, and I don't belittle it. It
was a wild -looking thing except
In line of duty, and except for
allowably erratic instances of
piracy or poaching it was a tool
and not a weapon.
The pocketknife was a com-
panion and a friend, and it had
so many uses memory can't
catch up with then. In our day,
you could take all the knives
you wanted to school, but they
had to stay in your pocket. Tea-
chers had a solid rule about
jackknives, ano there was no ap-
peal, If she saw one, she took it.
No ifs, ands, or buts, It stayed in
her desk drawer until end of
term, On the last day of school
anybody who had a knife in es-
crow could go up front and get
It. You didn't have to be doing
anything with it - if you just so
much as brought it out so she
could see It, that was it.
If you asked permission, that
was all right. You'd raise your
hand and upon recognition
would ask, "May I use my
knife?" Teacher would ask what
for, and there were certain per-
mitted uses. Maybe the sole on
your hi -cut had flopped and you
wanted to trim it. You might
need • to pry the lid off your
wooden pencil box - or perhaps
you had a stub pencil too short
to be pointed In the machine.
There was one occasion, in
fact, when the boy said he want-
ed to stab a rat, and it turned
out he actually had a rat in his
' desk, We followed the teacher
out of the room, and 1 don't re-
member what became of the rat,
except that there was some con-
jecture the boy had brought the
rat in himself and set up his
own. amusement. He was equal
to it, I know._
When the teacher spied a
knife and it was forfeit, a boy's
next step was merely to get a
new knife, A boy was expected
to have a knife, and had to have
1 knife. He just wasn't supposed
to have it out in school. If you
2ould find one of those old maple
two -place desks anywhere, you'd
lee that knives did get taken out
in school without being detected,
for the initials proved it. One
boy In our class had the name of
Dennis Ulrich MacBeith, and he
ased to carve DUMB in big
block letters in desk after desk,

TllPMM FRONT
The farmer's share of the food
dollar continues to be a bone of
contention in the United States
- just as it docs here in Canada.
As evidence, I pass along to you
the following:
• Y *
"Why have retail food prices
been rising while prices received
,by the, farmer's have been on the
decline?
The question is less puzzling
to processors than to farmers and
consumers who do not always re-
member that food passes through
many hands on its way from the
farm to the 'dinner table, None
of the owners of those hands is
ready to concede that his own
"take" from the .consumer's food
•dollar is too large. (Some even
think their share is too small.)
• • •
The question is getting an in-
creasing share of attention not
only from housewives. who buy
groceries but from experts both
in agriculture and economics
who, even with statistics - and
slide rules, find the riddle difficult,
Some researchers who have
been digging deeply into this
problem have come up with a
report which ,does not solve, but
does help to answer, the, ques-
tion everyone. is asking.
* • •
"Farmers produce the bulk of
our food supply, but many other
people' participate in the trans-
porting, processing, packaging,
wholesaling, and retailing activi-
ties that are necessary to make
food available to ` consumers,"
states a report prepared by W. E,
Hamilton, director of research,
'American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion. Mr. Hamilton made the re-
port for the National Planning
Association, whose agriculture
committee, of which he is a mem-
ber, signed the statement.
"All of these services cost
money," the report continues,
"All add to the price that must
be paid by a consumer for farm -
produced food."
But the addition to price does
not all go into profit for the niid-
. dleman, as is sometimes implied
by critics of food prices, writes
Helen Henley in the Christian
. Science Monitor.
• •
"Both farmers and the various
middlemen who moved farm -
produced food through•the chan-
nels of trade had expenses," ex-
plains the report. "For example
(in 1957), about 20 per cent of
the total retail food bill was paid
out by middlemen as wages; a
little over .7 per cent was paid
out for transportation which also
, involves labor; and about 22 per
cent was paid out for nonfarm
• supplies ( the prices of which re-
• fleet some labor costs), interest,
taxes (other than federal in-
come taxes), profits of unincor-
porated businesses, and miscel-
laneous expenses.
"With expenses of the above
types totaling 57 per cent of the
retail food bill, and about 39 per
cent of the total going to farm
ers, 4 per cent was left as corpol
rate profits before taxes. Corpo-
rate profits remaining after taxes
amounted to 2 per cent Of 'tile'
retail food bill,"
• • •
But reduction in the farmer's,
percentage of the consumeW
dollar.does not necessarily mead.%
a decline in farm prices or 1n1:
'dome, the report states. "The re,';
verse may be true if added prop,
esding increases consumer f de; -;
mond for a farm product. Cons:,
quently it appears desirable to. •
avoid use of such terms :as 4.he
'farmer's share' and the.'middle-•
man's share.'".•
Nor Nocan the percentage.of
consuinler's dollar received b' n,'
,farrier be necessarily 'colisidl:r'bd:,
011 indication of hig';(intlijcla4i:
well-being, since that percentage` •
normally and historically varies
between commodities, from a re-
ported high of 70 per cent for
butter to a low of 13 per cent for
corn syrup.
The citrus Industry Is cited as
further proof .of the tact that
consumer -dollar percentages do
not always represent accurately
the return to farmers.
• • •
"A United States Department
of Agriculture study of market-
ing margins for Florida oranges
and orange products in the 1952-
53 marketing season found that
the growers' percentage of the
consumer dollar was higher for
frozen concentrate (34 per cent)
than it was for fresh oranges (25
per cent).
"But the growers received
$1.93 per box for oranges sold for
fresh use in comparison with
• only $1.82 per box for oranges
used for frozen concentrate. Con-
sumers paid the equivalent of
$7.31 per box for fresh oranges
and $5.30 per fresh box equiva-
lent for concentrate. What prob-
ably is more important is the
fact the development of frozen
concentrate resulted in an ex-
pansion of the total market for
oranges."
In spite of "a natural tendency
for producers and consumers to
consider -that marketing mar-
gins are always too high," the re-
port concludes, "as a matter of
practical economics ... market-
ing margins are too high only if
the same or a better job of mar-
keting could be done for less
money, or if a better job could
be done for the same money."
Further study is needed, the
committee ogress, concerning the
extent to• which "marketing mar-
gins are (or are not) increased
by monopolistic activities, admin-
istered prices and wages, govern-
ment regulations, taxes, and eco-
nomic cycles."
• v •
Among the devices listed
which might be considered as a
means to reduce margins are: in-
creased competition, encouraged
by increased cooperative activi-
ties, more direct marketing and
effective action to eliminate any
monopolistic or restrictive trade
practices; increased labor effi-
ciency; possible reduction of
government expenditures and re-
peal or reduction of taxes which
increase distribution costs; efforts
to reduce fluctuations in the vol-
ume marketed.
The key to reducing margins,
according to the NPA report, may
be for farmers and other groups
involved in marketing • farm
products to see that every .mar-
keting function is performed 'as
economically as possible.

This Bank Doesn't
Like Ridicule
The Ncw England town of
Holyoke, Massachusetts, h a s
been having quite a chuckle over
the case of an Air Force ser-
geant's wife who received by
mistake a check made out for
$4,000,022.75 when it was meant
to be $22,75,
Mrs. James Walsh, the recipi-
ent, refused to return the check
when she learned that Miss Ann
Halliwell, the teller who struck
a wrong key, had been discharg-
ed. She insisted that Miss Helli-
well, an employee of five years,
be reinstated. Miss Helliwell has
since received several offers of
other jobs.
Now the bank is seeking in
court to recover the check - on
which it presumably could stop
payment - lest it "be held up to
ridicule," This goes a long way
toward shattering the "image"
the financial community has
been trying to build up of the
typical banker as a genial, un-
derstanding human being rather
than a flinty -faced guardian of
the vaults.
In nearby Cumberland, Rhode
Island, it is related that when
a resident reported a $9 million
mistake in a check, the manager
of the bank invited him to New
York to have lunch with the
clerk who made the mistake.
It is a fortunate bank whose
assets include a sense of humor.
For to err is human but to for-
give may be good business. -

Firing Squad
Shot Own Man
Dr. Neumann, the German
Press Attache in Rome, recently
attended a remarkable ceremony
- the unveiling of a mefnorial
to the 56 -year-old Italian priest,
Domenico Mercate, and the un-
known German S.S. man who re-
fused to shoot him,
German soldiers, particularly
S.S. men, very rarely disobeyed
orders, however inhuman or hor-
rible, but this pian was an ex-
ception. In 1945, with the Allies
sweeping to victory on all fronts,
a retreating German force ar-
rested the priest, near Verona,
accused him of noncompliance
with their orders, and sentenced
him to death.
However, when he was about
to be shot, one of the firing squad
protested.
Stepping forward, he told his
officer: "I can't shoot a priest,
I'm a Catholic." Reminded of the
penalty for disobedience, the sol-
dier repeated: "I cannot shoot a
priest."
He was fallen out and the firing
squad then shot Father Mercate:
Afterwards they fired again; this
time at their comrade. Now,both
priest and soldier share a monu-
ment and the honour of having
died a true Christians.
Ideal boss is one who can put
his foot down ;without stepping
on someone else's.

blame is with the parents. These
are the children of the war
years."
It's time we turned to God
in prayer, The supper, the
bazaar, the bridge party and
the dance in the church hall
won't fin'- the place . of the
prayermeeting. When trouble
came in the early church, the
people prayed. They didn't have
to learn to pray in the hour of
crisis. Prayer was a daily prac-
tice. When Herod put Peter in
jail, planning to slay him,
"Prayer was made without ceas-
ing of the church unto God for
him." It was past bedtime. Peter
and the guards were asleep but
the church kept praying. And
God heard and sent an angel to
bring Peter forth. God often
answers ' prayer in very un.
expected ways. These people,
praying in the home of John
Mark's mother just couldn't be-
lieve that Peter was at the gate.
They were astonished when
they .saw him,
One of the reason for the suc-
cess of the Billy Graham meet-
ings has been the emphasis on
prayer, Hundreds of prayer -
meetings preceded the opening
of a crusade. There are usually
one or two all night prayer -
meetings. God answers prayer
today.
The judgment upon Herod is
a lesson to all the proud. Let
us not seek the glory of men
but the glory which cometh
from God.
David said, "Evening, and
morning, and at noon, will I
pray." Psalm 55:17. Prayer is a
fitting benediction to the day, a
good preparation and a source
of strength in the midst.
In a few years," said the art-
ist to his landlord, "people will
look at this miserable studio and
say: 'Jones, the famous artist,
used to work here.' " •
"If 1 don't get the rent by
to -night, they'll be able to say
that very thing to -morrow."

Meet Charlie, life of the party
Quite a guy, Charlie. 'fall, handsome, everybody
liked him—and Charlie was the lite of the party
whenever their crowd got together. Take Christ-
mas. They were all there. It had been quite an
evening. The party finally broke up around
two -thirty. "See you all at our place tomorrow,"
called Charlie. But tomorrow never came for
Charlie. Ile had made the mistake of having one
more for the road. Oh, sure, he felt O.K. But
he wasn't, Alcohol had dulled his reflexes and
changed his attitude toward driving. At any
other time Charlie could have avoided the ac-
cident. But this time he didn't move fast enough.
What Charlie didn't realize was that a few ounces
of alcohol had slowed his reflexes, impaired his
ahility,changed his driving attitude. Your Ontario
Department of Transport asks you not to take
that chance. You can lose out so easily, just as
Charlie did. If you intend drinking, don't drivel

PRICE TAG
ON A JOB
A. MAN working for himself provides his own
tools and machines. For example, a farmer buys
the tractor, cultivator and other equipment for
his farm.
In industry, equipment is too expensive for
one man to buy, and plants and machines are
bought with the invested savings of sharehold-
ers. At The Steel Company of Canada, Limited,
the average investment per employee in plant
and equipment is $21,700,
Besides paying shareholders for the use of
their savings, profits replace worn out equip-
ment and provide for factory expansion.
A company without a profit is a company
without a future.

A Christmas tree

As it could be!
He didn't put
The trunk in water—
He didn't even
Know he ought 'er!
He didn't check
The lights before
He strung them round
The tree—the door!
On Christmas Eve,
While smoking, he
Set fire to the

He burned it
And his residence;

For Christmas presents
'Cause Santa couldn't '

convened a meeting of the farmers at-
fected by the hydro Transmission line
from Seaforth to Clinton. • This ex-
ceptionally well attended meeting was
chaired by the County president and
heard the details of Hydro's "offer to
purchase plan" explained by Mr. Jack
Ferguson, chairman of. the O.F.A. Land
Acquisition Committee, and Don Mid-
dleton, head of the O.F.A. Department
of Properties.
After discussion a motion was passed
unanimously rejecting the "offer to
purchase plan." In place of this the
meeting agreed that under ordinary
circumstances the present schedule of
compensation would be acceptable for
a lease of 20 years. This would be
equivalent to about a rental of $10.09
per year. The meeting felt this fig-
ure the minimum that farmers could
be expected to accept for the loss of
rights and inconvenience suffered.
For the most part settlement for
damages were satisfactory though in
two cases trees cut outside the ease-
ment right of way had not been com-
pensated for and in some cases spec-
ial problems had not received consid-
eration as had been promised. This
did not promote good public relations.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES CONVEN-
TION HELD IN GODERICH
In spite of inclimate weather the
Circuit Assembly held this past week-
end in Goderich District Collegiate -
by Johovah's Witnesses was a decided
success as 631 were present to hear
the final Bible talk "When Is God's
Will to Be Done On Earth" by Mr. A.
W. MacNamara, of Toronto.
Mr, MacNamara reminded his au-
dience of the prayer to God that Jesus
taught his disciples when he said,
"Let your Kingdom come, lel your Will
come to pass as in Heaven also upon
Earth." That Kingdom is no man made
government. Jesus gave a sign point-
ing to the world turmoil of this gener-
ation as proof of the establishment of
that Kingdom. Since 1914 that sign
has been clearly in evidence, God's
Will is being done now by his New
World Society of Jehovah's Witnesses
as they preach the establishment of
that righteous Kingdom in the Heavens
and urge all men to subject themselves
to its glorious rule which shortly shall
encompass the heavens and the entire
earth.
Saturdays program was highlighted
by a Baptismal service and there were
23: candidates who symbolized their
dedication to do God's will by total
water immersion before many wit•
nesses,
Saturday evening the entire audience
of 470 were shown a coloured film of
the Irirge International Assembly of
Jehovah's Witnesses held a year ago
in New York Ci;y when 253,922 dele-
gates were in attendance, Outstanding
on this film was the showing of the
67,000 hot meals were served each
hour to the delegates and this was all
done by Volunteer helpers.
327 dcleestes attended the opening
session cf the convention on Friday
evenine ',Otero the theme "Do the
Divine Will" was emphasized by Bible
talks and demonstrations to help all
devote more time to personal study of
God's word and to aid others to do so
by talking and discussing the Bible
with them.

She Shot ` Her
25th Husband
Peter Goullart, a Shanghai
businessman, stared in astonish-
ment when he arrived at Yung -
king, a small town in Sikang, the
province annexed from Tibet by
China. Everyone was brawling
In the busy main street, Groups
of men gesticulated, shouted
and fought. Women swore, sob-
bed and beat each other with
sticks.
The explanation for their be-
haviour was that something in
the local water made people so
highly sensitive and irritable
that Yungking was the most
quarrelsome town in Sikang!
He made other strange dis-
coveries when he reached Tach-
ienlu, the capital, to work for
the Chinese Industrial Co-opera-
tives. Far from being subserv-
ient to their husbands, Tibetan
wives there did all the commer-
cial business.
They sold goods imported
from India via Tibet to Chinese
merchants, tea and other mer-
chandise bound for Lhasa from
China. Their husbands were
merely the agents who supervis-
ed caravans and delivered the
wife's goods to women merch-
ants in Lhasa.
But this entailed no disruption
of family life, Goullart explains
in a remarkable account of his
travels in this primitive country:

spects by a lady' friend, per.
haps the one entrusted with the
disposal of his wife's caravan,
The Tachienlu wife was usual-
ly solaced in turh by the. Lhasa
lady's husband 'who had brought
her goods to sell in Tachienlul
Thus, each husband had a wife
at either end, and when the
children of both families reach-
ed travelling age they visited
each mother in turn.
One such dealer was the rich
Princess Aja Pentso belonging
to a noble family. Pretty, slim
and delicate, with powdered face
and rouged lips, she walked
through the streets on high -heel-
ed shoes, accompanied by husky
girls carrying her merchandise.
Thanks to her wealth, beauty
and charm, she did a roaring
trade, sometimes cornering the
market in saffron or dry rhubarb
brought from the highlands by
Tibetans who would rather sell
their goods a little cheaper to
beauty than at a higher price to
a less attractive woman.
The girl -porters had the busi-
ness fever, too. When not en-
gaged in tea -carrying, they kept
w a t c h for some arriving
stranger, especially one coming
from the highlands. They would
ask him if he had gold ' dust,
musk, saffron or corn to dis-
pose of.
Not knowing where to go or
what price to ask, he usually ac-
cepted the offer to help. A bar -1
gain was struck over a cup of;
wine and the proceeds of the:
sale duly delivered in the even-
ing at an appointed place.
The man was happy over the
deal, the following evening
there might be more drinks and
a dance at a caravanserai.
Brick tea, for ages China's
chief export to Tibet, ,is carried
from Yaan to Tachienlu ; over
lone mountain tracks by strange,
pitiful, almost sub -human Szech-
uan-Chinese porters with bluish -
yellow wizened faces and unsee-
ing eyes.
Clad in rags, they resemble
walking corpses. As they are
paid by weight they sometimes
carry as much as one hundred
and eighty pounds. They stagger
along in the rarefied mountain
air like automata, sometimes
collapsing in the snow and frost
by the roadside .to die unmourn-
ed.
All their energy for this grim
task comes from opium, without
which they ,could not live.
When Goullart went up-
country to Garthar to start a
modern creamery at a cattle farm
there, news came of a Tibetan
uprising near adjacent Kanze.
It was, so the rumors ran, due
to the matrimonial entangle-
ments of its ruling Grand Duch•
ess, Detchin Wangmb. She was
believed to have shot her twenty-
fifth husband and to be enam-
oured of a handsome young Ti-
betan train another tribe. The
Provincial government wanted
to prevent this new marriage,
fearing that the alliance would
make her too powerful.
Refugees reached Gar t ha r
with panic tales of cruelty and
pillage and of raids by fierce
Hsiangchen tribesmen incensed
by the exactions of rapacious
Szechuanese soldiers.
Chinese settlers and merch-
ants in Garthar hurriedly pack-
ed their goods and with their
caravans headed for the safety
of Tachienlu. Goullart soon fol-
lowed, and on a 15,000 -foot pass
between snow peaks had the
terrifying experience of losing
his caravan in dense fog.

Gwen.doline P. Cla„rke
Last Saturday we went to the
official opening of Ontario's
newest hospital — that is, the
"Milton District Hospital." It
was a great -day for the Board of
Directors as there has probably
been more controversy over this
one 62 -bed hospital. than any in
Ontario. The public was apathe-
tic. Getting local funds was like
trying to draw blood from a
stone. The need for a hospital
was great yet the man in the
street seemed to lack faith in
the ability of the directors to
plan, build' and maintain a local
hospital. This was largely the
result of what some people con-
sidered over -spending in the ini-
tial planning. Which was a pity
as there was never a harder
working board of directors. How-
ever, after almost six years of
endeavour the hospital is now
getting organised to receive its
first patients, replacing the 16 -
bed private hospital that has
served the district for 16 years.
The new hospital is very mod-
ern, very spacious and exceed-
ingly airy and attractive, com-
paring favourably with any that
have been built in recent years,
Naturally the cost has been high
— prohibitive, according to some
people, But then, doesn't that
apply to all hospitals, big or
small? As I wandered through
the wards and corridors 1 won•
dered if there was any way of
cutting the initial cost. I hit on
one or two :ideas. Here they are
for what they may be worth.
As you know any public build -
Ing must he government-approv
ed to qualify for provincial
grants and since hospitals follow
more or less along the lines of
a chosen blueprint, some with a
one -floor plan, others with mul-
tiple floors, why then couldn't
the Department of Health and
Welfare have blueprints available
to meet the need of any planning
board and thus cut down on
architectural fees, which run to
quite a sizable figure. It night
not make too much difference in
the overall expenditure but even
one small economy would be a
step in the right direction, The
same Idea could apply to schools
and institutions.
Another saving might be effect-
ed in the initial publicity cam-
paigns for raising funds. Local
papers do a wonderful job ad-
vertising worthwhile causes and
there are always public spirited
men and women who will under-
take voluntary services 'in the
interest of their own community.
Why then spend thousands of
dollars on outside help to publi-
size local fund-raising projects?
Arouse the interest of prominent
men and women . . there are
always born 'leaders in every
community , .. let them be the
ones to spark the campaign They
know the type of people with
whom they must deal — far Net-
ter, I woulri say, than a hired
campaign manager. That's how
it appears to me anyway.
As for the conirpleted hospital,.
that is another story. 1 don't
think anyone should miss an
opportunity to go on a pre-
opening tour of inspection of any
new local hospital. It is quite an
education. To my way of think-
ing one of the best features of
modern hospitals is the "recovery
room," usually a room with from
two to four beds, where patients
are taken while still partly un-
der anaesthesia following an
operation. A nurse is constantly
in attendance at this critical
stage in the patient's post-
operative period. Perhaps I ap-
preciate this advance in nursing
care because of my own experi-
ence about 20 years ago.
At that time, following a
major operation, 1 "came to" in
my own private room ... alone.
Not even realizing I had been in
surgery I thought I wanted to
go to the bathroom. I attempted
to get out of beet, One of the
nurses came in and found me on
the floor. Special nurses had,
been engaged to care for me
but I was supposed not to need
any special attention until later
in the day. It just shows you
never can tell, It was an un-
pleasant experience and ,,i.3
that could hardly happen today.
Another thing I gained from that
time was a piece of worthwhile
advice given me by one of my
"specials" — a nurse who had
the reputation of being the best
in the hospital. She said if it
were necessary to cut down on
expenses it was better to choose
a public ward' and special nurs-
ing rather than a private room
with less n u r s i n g. Partner
thought this good advice and
when he had to go to the To-
ronto General for observation
some years later he insisted on
a public ward. He was there for
three weeks and never regretted
it.
Well I hope you won't con-
sider this to be a gloomy
column. It isn't meant to be. So
far as I can see a stay in any
good hospital isn't the ordeal it
used to be. We should be thank-
ful for our modern facilities —
especially under ourpresent
pre -paid Ontario Hospital Insur-
ance.
Getting Taller
Bed manufacturers, door mak-
ers, basketball coaches, and
military draft boards had sensed
it, and last . month London Uni-
versity's famous biologist Peter
B. Medawar confirmed it: Hu-
mans are getting taller and
taller.
Specifically, Medawar report-
ed that British teen-agers are
growing three-quarters of an
inch taller each decade, The sta-
tistics are essentially the same
in the U.S. and the "end is not
in sight," according to Dr. Stan-
ley N, Garn of the Fels Research
Institute for the Study of Hu-
man Development, Yellow.
Springs, Ohio. Further, Garn
sees no ceiling on man's up-
ward evolution, "Fortunately,
the hear t and other human
organs are capable of keeping
up with normal non -glandular
growth," he said, Garn offers
one reason for this "tall story":
"This is a nation of fat kids
and fat kids usually grow
taller."

Laughter Banned
In The Palace
When novelist - playwright,
Dymphna Cusack recently tour-
ed China she met an Imperial
Guards general's widow, Yu
Roungling, who had been a
Manchu princess and lady -in-,
waiting to the Empress Dowager,
T'sui Hsi,
In her talk with Miss Cusack,
quoted in "Chinese Women
Speak" she said: "The Court
dazzled us with its richness and
splendour. By then the Empress
Dowager was in sole control.
Poor Kwang Hsu (the Emperor)
had been put under house -arrest
in a pavilion In the Sea Palace
... We dared not go out of the
women's quarters, To go to the
Emperor's Palace would have
brought punishment undreamed
of,"
The Dowager had a cape made
of more t h a n three thousand
perfectly matched pearls, each
the size of a canary's egg, linked
by two pure jade clasps, Her
headdresses and shoes were en-
crusted with jewels, a she wore
gold and jade fingernail pro-
tectors.
No collection of jewels in the
world could equal hers, it was
said. There were three thousand
boxes of them in one room for
everyday wear. Many' others
were kept in a safety room for
special occasions. Her favourite
was a pearl nearly as large as
a hen's egg.
Best of all Yu loved the much
freer Summer Palace, where she
lived in a pavilion — now a
tea -house — on the lake's edge.
In this palace they were not
permitted to laugh aloud, but in
the pavilion rules were slightly
relaxed,
Normally they rose at live
o'clock and at six sharp they
lined up in the ante -chamber
to the Dowager's bedroom --
the Young Empress, the favour-
ite, and t h e ladies-in-waiting.
The princesses outside came
only on fete days. They then
helPed her to dress, from a
wardrobe of thousands of beau-
tifully embroidered robes.
In the afternoons there were
plays and operas, all the parts
being taken by specially trained
eunuchs. These were followed
by public receptions.
"'Those receptions were
awful," Yu said. "Some of the
foreign ladies behaved as if they
were at a circus."
She confessed: "I'm happier
today than I ever was working
at the Court. Etiquette was so
strict that one scarcely dared
breathe.'
But during the eight years of
Japanese occupation s h e and
her husband were so poor that
they had practically nothing to
eat but coarse grain,

Bitten By Monkey
With A Hangover
Many and various were the
pets which 1 kept during my
stay in Paraguay, As I do not
like birds or animals in cages,
they always had the run of the
house and garden.
My favourite was a small grey
monkey which I bought from
my washerwoman, Carmen, dur-
ing my first year in Paraguay,
when I had yet to acquire the
knack of handling wild animals.
The monkey Carmen offered me
was strangely -quiet and did not
bite me when I took it in my
arms.
I put Dodo, as I had decided
to call niy new pet, into a box,
and went about my chores. Re-
turning an hour later, I picked
him up and was badly bitten for
my pains!
My indignant cries brought
my husband to the scene, "Now,"
he said, ";'ou can see how tame
your dear little monkey really
is.
He then told me about a dodge
the natives have when they
want to sell a wild animal to a
foreigner, They give it cane, a
potent rum made from sugar
cane, and it stays doped for an
hour or so. Alter which the ani-
mal—suffering from a hangover
— reverts to its wild state, only
more so !
"You'd better get rid of it,"
he told me.
His suggestion merely made
me more determined than ever
to keep the little monkey. It
took a long time and much pa-
tience to train it, but after some
weeks Dodo could not bear me
out of his sight, and would con-
stantly ride on my shoulder,
with his arm round my neck.
He was always up to some mis-
chief, and one of his pranks al-
most cost him his, life,
He got into our medicine cup-
board and although unable to
uncork any of the bottles, man-
aged to open •a tube of laxa-
tives and eat about ,halfof the
contents. That night he was a
very miserable monkey, and
nearly passed out ! But he had
learned his lesson and never
went near the medicine cup•
board again.
We lost Dodo when we left
him in Paraguay while on,holi-
day in England. The natives in-
formed us that Dodo went into
the forest one day and did not
return, I very much suspected
he was resold, as a tame monkey
with such amusing tricks fetch-
ed a good price in the capital,
writes Joan Bottrell in "Tit -
Bits"
Another pet was a baby os-
trich. There was no small object
that he would not swallow
thimbles, spools of thread, money,
paper, nails and soap, were some
of the things he seemed to thrive
on. But when my husband
caught him in the act of swal-
lowing his favourite pen -knife,
I knew that was the end of
that pet, As the ostriches on our
land were not allowed to be
chased or killed, they were quite
tame a n d would come within
fifty yards of the house. When
next they appeared, I took mine
out and introduced it to its re-
lations. After a preliminary in-
spection they all went off to-
gether, so I did not feel that
parting too much.
The only pet I had to keep in
a cage was a long-legged fox.
This is a queer animal, and
somewhat rare. It has the head
and body of a fox, a mane like
a lion and a tufted tall. It has
long legs like a' foal,
It is seldom seen during the
day -time, as it travels by night,
LIKE A BIRD — Mrs. Annie Jen-
kins, 24, resolutely keeps her
place on a utility pole in down-
town Los Angeles. She climbed
the pole during an argument
with her husband. It took a
power company crew with a
mobile elevator to get her
down, She was taken to a hos-
pital fora mental examination.
covering great distances, A pair
have only two cubs at a litter
and the parents have been seen
each carrying a. baby in their
mouths, I should never have
chosen to have one of these,
animals as a pet as they are
very savage, but the boys. had
found It in a cave and thought
I would like to have it.
If I had not accepted, 1 knew
its life would be more miserable
—1f possible—with them than
with me. I could not set. it 'tree,
as the boys had broken its leg
when capturing it. I made them
put a splint on the broken limb
and hoped it would heal so that •
I might give it its freedom. But
it only lived for about ten days
longer.
Of the many pet birds I had,
a large white owl with big earls
- was my favourite, My son found
a nest with the mother owl
sitting on someeggs and brought
one home. As luck would have
it, I had a hen sitting at the
time, and I gave her the owl's
egg to hatch.
I took the fledgeling away as
soon as it was hatched as I felt
it was too much to expect the
hen to bring up so queer a
chick. I managed to rear the
baby owl, and when It could fly
I had a box made and placed
in a tree near the house. This
was always open and the owl
stayed in it all day, but at sun-
down it would fly into the house
to eat a huge meal of raw meat.
Then it would set about look-
ing for tit -bits such as insects.
I t s particular favourites were
cockroaches and horned beetles.
Unfortunately my owl disap-
CHINESE JUNK ON FLIGHT DECK - The aircraft currier Lexing-
ton docked at Alameda, Calif, with an unusual item on her
flight deck — a Chinese junk. The Lexington was returning
from a seven-month cruiso In Far Eastern waters. The Chinese
junk is owned by Commander C. D Curtis, the currier's navi-
ga'or who pis n; to ECU it near his home.
peared one night during mating
time.
Another feathered friend was
a perincho, This is about the
size of a thrush, striped fawn
and black, with a tuft of fea-
thers on its head and a rasping
cry , , pe-ri-ri, pe-ri-ri, It was
given to me as a fledgeling and
was easy to tame.
For the first few days it ven.
tured only round the house and
garden, but soon was flying far.
ther and farther away, only com-
ing homeat sundown for a meal,
One evening it did not return,
and I thought that was the last
I would see of Pe-ri, But a • few
days later, back it came greet-
ing me with its familiar cry. Be-
lieve it or not, it came and went
in that manner for nearly a
year, sometimes staying away
for a week- or more. Then the
sad day came when 1 heard its
friendly cry no more. I always
hoped It might' return bringing
a family to visit; me.
One of my pets was a toucan.
The boys had wounded it in the
wing with a catapult. Luckily,
the bone was not broken and
as soon as it could fly again,
I let it go.
Toucans are decorative birds
with wide hooked orange beaks,
which they put to a rather
doubtful. use. A great number of
birds in South America build
their nests in holes in the , trunks
of trees and as the toucan's fa-
vourite meal. is eggs and fledgel-
ings, it finds this beak very use-
ful for robbing nests.
I have seen a toucan clean
up a dozen or so at a time with
the frantic parent birds peck-
ing and scratching at it; but
the toucan took absolutely no
notice and calmly continued its
meal,

Strange gods are worshipped in
the ' valleys, where most Bhuta-

valleys are 9,000 or more feet
high, set amid the mighty snow -
clad Himalayas.
In each there are one or more
-traditional dzongs, pagoda -like
buildings, with gold roofs and
dragon -style decorations. These
temples serve both as centres of
religious rites and of local ad-
ministration. When a priest or
lama is in residence, no woman
may sleep in a dzong. Even Bhu-
tan's dusky queen must obey
this rule,

not risk offending their deities

The one sacrifice they allow

need in order to be appeased.
Navy Nicknames
Have you noticed that sailors
of to -day are hardly ever called
"Jack Tars" as they were up to
the beginning of the first World
War? Nicknames die hard in the
Navy, but it's easy to see why
"Jack Tar" is seldom heard to-
day.
It dates back to the 'seven-
teenth century, the "Tar" in
those days signifying the ordin-
ary sailor's job, Tar was one of
the most important things in any
sailing ship. It often covered a
sailor's hands and clothes all the
time he was on duty,
It used to be said that sailors
had a nickname for everything.
Soine nicknames are still widely
used in the Navy. They include
"The Owner," "The Bloke" and
"Jimmy -the -One" — the sailor's
names for the captain, comman-
der and first lieutenant of his
ship, 'Gunnery -Jack" was once
common for the gunnery lieuten-
ant. Chaplains were called "Devil
Dodgers." Navigating officers
were "Navvies,"
Naval ships are often given
nicknames, especially when their
proper names are difficult to
pronounce. Bellerophon, for in-
stance, became "Billy Ruffian"
and Psyche was "Fish,"
At a party one night'a woman
was admonishing her husband.
"Henry, that's the fourth time
you've gone back far more food.
Doesn't it embarrass you;"
''No," replied the husband "1

How Can. 1?
By .Anne Ashley
Q. IIow can I make easier the
job of reopening a used jar or
can of glue?
A. To avoid future trouble,
throw away the present cap of
your glue container and, instead,
seal the container with some
strips of cellulose tape. This
will be easily removable the
next time you use your glue,
Q. When the soles of some
overshoes have lost their tread,
how can they be made nonskid
again?
A. By the application of a
thick, layer of rubber cement to
the soles and then covering this
with some fine sand.
Q. How can I make a better
and more legible job of address-
ing my packages for Christmas
mailing?
A. Try using a regular wood -
kitchen match stick, dipped in
India ink, instead of a pen. Your
printing will be much heavier,
and much more easily read by
the postal clerks.
Q. How can I improvise a
good movie screen for some
home movies?
A. A card table will snake a
very fine screen. Open up just
two legs of the table, and use
these to hold the table on edge
on top of another table. Then,
if the card table Is dark -colored,
you cart cover it with some
white paper or sheeting,
Q. Row can I enhance the
flavor of my spleecakes?
A. The addition of a pinch of
pepper will bring out the full
flavor of the spices in your cake.
What You Don't See
Want your beer to be fizzier,
your cake to cut without crum-
bling? TV advertisers do, and
last month "Advertising Age''
ticked off some of the tricks
they use to get the right ef-
fects in television commercials,
Among them:
• Slicing cakes in advance,
then gluing them together, for
easy cutting.
• Dropping Alka-Seltzer into
a glass of beer to snake It fizz
more,
• Rubbing oil over roast
beef to give it a juicy effect,
• In shampoo commercials,

— when the model arrives from
the beauty parlor, Then, mussing
