Conlribut ad by the Rev. R. Evan McLagatn, BIM United Church CHRISTMAS is love - God's love. But why should God love us? Because our lives are pure? Bccause we have nothing of greed or seta -illness or hatter, in our hearts? Because we live in reace with all glen? Because we never do wrn' g? Because we love turn and live according to His way? No, but because we are His and he loves and wants Isis own. ,"God shows his love [cr us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Such love leaves lis no choice. We must love others. And we slyly our love at Christmas -- our love for children, our love fur the needy, the toady. the homeless. From the Baby in the manger we' hear, "1 nye one anolhrr as I Dar." loved you." Son of God, love's pure light bcalns radiantly from thy holy fade. CHRiS'l'MAS Is ,toy -- the ,joy of seeing a child's ryeS [dram v I'h ,'lelight; the joy of a happy heart; the ,iny of familiar carob; Ps-. joy rr Christmas nle•vie, the liehts, tin tinsel, the colored wrappings. 1br deco•al:Y1 tress, til^ wi,r'rr wonderland blanketed in snow. It is the joy of 1-41",1 -- r'lvify, pills and Ch•te'4 in^'s; giving friop; (ship and kindly thoughts;' all r;f which is giving leve and giving ourselves. "Whoever loses his life shall find it." Somehow not only for Christmas But all the long year through, The joy that you give to others Is the joy that conies hack to yen. CHRISTMAS is peace • the peace of a family fireside; the peace of a sleep ing child; the 1•e ace of a quiet country side. But it is also the rcace that cones to the lonely, the sad,. and the sorrowing heart as it miens itself In (;tel; She peace that conics from the Christmas message that God is love and light and no darkness can shut out that love and that light. CHRISTMAS is hope -- hope for peace on earth; hope fc,r justice and good- ness; hope for life abundant and eternal. Dia you ever slip to think that were it not for the resurrection and the living presence of Christ we wruld never have Christmas! The world knew, in Christ, that eel- and selfishness and hat- red could not triumph, that God can not be defeated and so we dare to bore. CIIRIS'TMAS is worship -- the worship of the- angels. the shepherds, the wise men and of the, humble of every generation. You can have a holiday with cut worship but you cannot have, Christmas. Only those who kneel in prayer, who (.tow with humble hearts and say "Glory to God" knew what Christmas is Only (hose who offer their most precious gift the gift of oneself - know what Christmas oceans. 0 Brother• man, fold to (hy heart thy brother! \Vhet'e pity dwells, the peace of God is there; 'l'o worship rightly is to love each other, Bach smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. (Poems by John Greenleaf Whittier) OBITUARY Directors Of Huron County Farm Forum Met (By J. Carl Hemingway) ) • The Directors of Huron County Faru1 Fortran met last friday in the Agri- cultural Board Rooms and I am sorry •to say that there could have been a better attendance. MRS. J, JAY COX hollowing is a clipping taken from the Mason County Press, Scottville, Michigan, regarding a former resident of Blyth whose family were very well known here. Airs. J. Jay Cox paned away at about (1 o'clock Monday morning at her home on East State at the age of 82. Margaret L. Cox was born March 20, 1877 at Carleton Place, Ontario. She lived for a number of years at Blyth, Ont., before coming ,to Scott- Iville in 1901 to visit her sister, Mrs, W. 1I. Irwin, whose husband was pas- tor of the Scoltville Methodist church. She taught school in the local Junior oigh school for several years and also taught for a short time in Reed City. On September 11, 1900 she married .1, Jay .Cox and they have resided here since with the exception of a short stay in Muskegon during World War II. Mrs. Cox was a member of the Scolt- ville Methodist church where she held many offices. She was a Past Presi- dent, District President and District Secretary of the WSCS. She also se•v- Ied as president of the Extension Club, She was a Sunday school teacher in the local Methodist church for many years and was for some years a mem- ber of Scoltville School Board, She was also a Past President of the Scottville Woman's Study Club. Surviving are her husband, J. Jay Cox, two daughters, Mrs, Ilarold (Doro- thy) Bcnse►1 of Flint and Mrs. Luscius (Helen) Elder of Pleasantville, N.Y.; one sister, Anna James, of Wingllam, Ont., and four grandchildren. Services were held Wednesday from the Stephens chapel in Scuttville and interment took place in Brookside ce metery with Rev. Kenneth Snow offi- ciating. Mrs. Cox was predeceased by a sis- ter, the first •Mrs. John (Addle!' Vin- cent, and three brothers, Joseph and Deloss 'Taman, of Blyth, and Wesley Taman of Northern Ontario. She is also survived by a number of nieces and nephews in this vicinity, Mrs, Ben Walsh and Wesley Taman, Blyth, _ Mrs. J. C. Brener, Bluevale, Mrs. Lou Hutton, Alrs. Mussel Salter Leonard James, of \Vingham and Messrs. Norman and Clare Vincent, of Lanndesbot'o, A COIIREC.TICN Mr. David Arnold Stager spoken ' of In lar,t week's issue of The Standard, in regards to being one o[ two winners of Ontario's Rhodes scholarship for 1960, is a son of Mr, and Mrs. Oscar Stager (nee Noma McVittle) of Stnithvi(le, and a grandson of Mrs. Maude McVit- tie of llespeler, The theme of this year's program is 'Adjustment, Key 10 farmings future." One 'adjustment that farmers scam to have made is to become so busy with productive that there is little or no time to a:teed meetings such as Farm Forum to consider whether or not their efforts are going to bring the results they want, Perhaps we in Ontario are ton foe tunale and as yet haven't felt the squeeze sufficiently to cause us to re- act. Farm Forum was born in the lat- ter days of the depression of the thirt- ies and can be given a great deal of the credit for the advancements that have taken place in farm living and o'ganizaliol. Over the prosperous post war years Farm Fortran interest and activity de- clined sharply but apparently difficult- ies have arisen in all parts cf Canada except in Ontario to arouse the people to again participate in the discussion with the view to improving their con- dition. And, believe me, there is room for improvement. A rural school teachers salary in the, early 'thirties would equal the price of an 'average standard car, today, it 1 still (lees. Other salaries would bear about the same relationship, In the forties a farmer could par- chase a tractor for $1,000,00 and pay for it with 50c oats, but today a sim- ilar tractor will cost $3,000.00,^•; ; i,e • will still have to pay. for it with 50c I oats:, at present prices it would take about 100 cases of eggs to pay my taxes.! This is gelling close to the limits of, the cicliciency payment quota, Perhaps WO 110 thankful for our in- creased efficiency for enabling its tel manage. to survive even for a limited time under these circumstances but of second thought perhaps it is our effic- iency that has piaced us in this 1n1 - enviable position. This is a prc)'>leul that Farm Forum alight well solve for us. Hot you must be interested. Plans were laid at the Directors mectine,, to hold the County Farm Fnrunr Annual the second week of January, in the afternoc'n. It will be open to all Forum members and to any other Interested persons. We hope you wilt he watching for the an• uounccnlcnt of the details. In closing let the wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. Let us count oto' blessings for the present and leave our troubles for the new year.

Thrust- ing through the crowds that milled round the Tote windows, a punter slapped a pound down and shouted hoarsely: "Ten bob win and place No, 4, mate!" He grabbed his ticket, then reeled back in astonishment as a friendly voice called, "I hope it comes up" , , , and the red- faced racegoer recognized through the wire mesh covering the window the smiling features of Prince Philip! Though he may not have such intense love of racing as the Queen (he has been known to arrive at Ascot by State landau and skim away in his Lagonda a .few minutes later, or to disap- pear unobstrusively towards the polo pitches of Cowdray after the second race at Goodwood), the Prince takes a keen interest in a 11 activities concerning horses. And on that afternoon at Ascot he had slipped "back- stage" at the totalisator to see how the odds are worked out by calculating machine. He is, after all, Vice -President of the British Horse Society, which takes him all over the country attending trials and show jumping. He is a member of the Jockey Club and many kindred organizations. 1 -lis levo• tion to polo is well known. On one occasion, when pre- sented with an electro -cardio- graph by the City of Cambridge, the Queen s a id smilingly: "I hope this ingenious machine will be put to good use not many miles from here." Her audience could hardly have realized her meaning — that Prince Philip would borrow the instrument for a vet to check the heart - heats of his polo ponies! "All too often Prince Philip's failure to share all the Queen's racing pleasures is due to sheer lack of time, to his eager desire to fill his leisure with the glow- ing exercise of physical pursuits, his keenness for active sport rather than a passive role a3 spectator," writes Mrs. Helen Cathcart in "The Queen And The Turf," the first full, richly illustrated story of Her Majes- ty's triumphs and disappoint- ments as a racehorse owner and racegoer. Some measure of the Queen's enthusiasm for racing can be gauged from the fact that in order to see her colt Gay Time - -`ruv in • the St. Leger she made two successive overnight jour- neys from Balmoral to Doncas- ter and back, a round trip of 836 miles. She probably knows more about the pedigrees and breed- ing records of racehorses than any other woman in the world —knowledge that helped her to be the first British monarch in history to have twice headed the list of winning owners. Her contribution to our blood- stock industry is immense , . and there was public resentment when the president of a Metho- dist Conference prefaced his re- marks with: "I wish the Queen w o u 1 d not go racing." Says Helen Cathcart; "The Queen un- derstood his sincerity, however, and later invited him to one of the famous luncheons at Buck- ingham Palace." In different vein, a cleric in the Midlands amused the Queen when he sent her a story of two choir boys, one of whom asked: "What have we sung the Na- tional Anthem for today?" The other shook his head; so the first choir boy added: "I suppose it's because the Queen's horse came home first yesterday." This love of horses stems from her very earliest days—right back to infancy when the Arch- bishop of Canterbury once found the little Princess leading her grandfather, King George V, by the beard, pretending he was a horse as he shuffled along the floor on his hand and knees A few years later, the sight of a pony with a docked tail would arouse her indignation. And once,_,Ante ,t-e!turn,, her n 5e15 window the o prancing along Rotten Row, she said gravely: "If I am ever Queen I shall make a law that there must he no riding on Sun- days. umdays. Horses should have a rest." Her concern is even stronger today. Nothing is too much trou- ble if one of her horses is back- ward or ailing.

A ROYAL FUN — The sport of queens and princesses seems to be equally divided between horses and boats, judging from this newly released photograph of Queen Elizabeth II and nine-year•old Princess Anne, In riding outfits, mother and daughter relax beside the lake at Frogmore, near Windsor Castle, ment in order to make his re- tirement happier. Nor is it only thoroughbreds that interest the Queen. She was once touring an agricultural show when she recognized a hit pony she had seen two years before, with its leg bandaged where another animal had kick- ed it. She immediately inquired if it had fully recovered, An- other time, as Princess Eliza- beth, watching the royal greys being bedded down at Windsor,_ she, was amused by the way one of them kept yawning, obviously tired after the Ascot procession. The sight of a yawning horse was too much for the Princess, says Mrs. Cathcart. Convulsed with mirth, she trent in search of her family; and soon both Princesses and the ICing and Queen were rocking with laugh- ter at the grey, who continued to yawn sleepily. In the past there had always been a certain studied formality about the movements of royalty at race meetings. (Queen Vic- toria once declined to attend As- cot because the Trainer of the royal colt, Persimmon, could not guarantee it would vin the Gold Cup!) But the Queen has chang- ed that. Soon after her Coronation racegoers at Ascot stared in sur- prise at the young woman who leant on the paddock rails and watched the horses unsaddling. Could it be? Yes, it was the Queen! — mingling so informal- ly with other racegoers that many failed to recognize her. Later, at Goodwood, she broke with convention by walking down the course to sec for her- self just how the starting gate worked. It worked well, for her own colt Gay Time romped home in the race. Perhaps the best example of delightful informality occurred one week -end when the Jubilee Handicap was run at Kempton Park. The Queen and Prince Philip were staying with their friends, Lieut. -Colonel and Mrs. Harold Phillips, in LeIcester- shire, and when it started to drizzle with rain Her Majesty suggested it might be fun to see, on television, how her colt, •',;,-•esment, ran in the bigrace. Unfortunately the Phillis had no television. But John Kemp, the butler, said he would be honoured if the Queen cared to watch the race on 0 set in his cottage. "Perhaps it is the only occa- sion, on or off the record, when a Queen has sat cosily in rtn armchair in a butler's sitting - room watching television," says the author. "The Queen saw Agreement finish eighth, dis- cussed the race with keen 'en- joyment, ancl did not forget to thank her butler host."

The present is coloured by memories of other Christmases come and gone. No one looks aheal to what next Christmas will be . , , or the next, or the one after that. To look forward would be to court disaster. Ex- cept in retrospect one Christmas at a time is quite enough! Christmas is many things . , , according to what we make it. It is the climax of weeks of ex- tra work, planning and anticipa- tion; an occasion for getting in touch once again with those to whom we. seldom write — but yet never forget. A time of sur- prises, some real, some assumed — for the sake of the children. A time of gratitude for messages of goodwill that come from the most unexpected quarters. Most of all it is a time of rejoicing "Joy to the world, the Lord income; let all rejoice and sing". And of course it is the most popular time of the year for a fancily get-together. The pattern changes a Little through the years. Older folk in some in- stiinces have passed on; the next generation moves up and Is re- placed by yet another generation with their babies and school-age youngsters. But it is Christmas — THIS Christmas — which is at first foremost in most people's thoughts. We look forward to celebrating the day with tradi- tional feasting and gaiety — even to the cranberry sauce! But once the dinner is over, the Christmas tree stripped of its gaily wrapped gifts; the "Ohs" and "Ahs" and other expressions of appreciation have been ex- changed, then it is, at least for the older folk, there comes a time of quiet reflection. Grand- parents, aunts and uncles, ex- change memories of other days. The young 'married folk, busy with the dishes, catch an odd word here and there and join in with the conversation, In our case I remember what has been said before — and what, more than likely, will be said again this year. "Mother, are you talk- ing about that awful wet ChrIst- mas when there was a thunder- storm Christmas Eve? 'We had gone to town for last minute shopping with the horse and buggy. While we were away Dad and Bob had gone to the bush for a tree. It all had to be left to the last minute because we had been so buy picking chickens for orders. We were wet but they were wetter still, trudging home through the back lane dragging the tree behind thein." Yes, Grandma remembers it all, Remembers too that neither storm nor rain was ever bad enough to really dampen the Christmas spirit. We didn't have hydro in those days and the Yule tree was illuminated with small wax candles, lit for awhile and then extinguished. During the depression of the Thirties presents were insignificant in value according' to present day values but the love and under- standing with which they were chosen was never insignificant. And, no matter what, Christmas traditions were always main- tained. It was years before the homegrown Christmas chicken was replaced by a turkey but the chicken was always just as savoury as any turkey we have had since. The plum pudding was never absent and it was one time when there were plenty of oranges, nuts and candy. Daddy wasn't able to stay in the house very long as there were always chores to do. Not only that but more than once a motherly cow managed to emulate the Christ- mas spirit and present us with a calf, So, along with the pud- dings and vegetables I had to make room on the old cookstove to heat water for Bossy. Hot water on tap was undreamed of then. A bath in front of the kitchen fire was a Saturday night ritual. We didn't realize we were living in hard times so there were few complaints, Christmas cane and went and I can't remember any that were not happy. Now that we have reached a life of greater ease we are thankful for the experience of the lean years, Many readers of our genera- tion will have similar memories. Their children, as do ours, will remember that a happy Christ- mas was something that didn't just happen. It had meaning. And yet opportunities are great- er today.for enlarging our circle of friends and a letter or cheery card to a friend is more sym- bolic of the Christmas spirit than an unnecessary gift to a person who has practically everything. For that reason I know the mes- sage that I send you is as good as a gift. May you have A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS! What better could I send than a wish for your happiness? Great Composer Likes It Hot One of the biggest "names" in modern music, seventy -seven- year-old composer Igor Stravin- sky, was once offered a salary of $100,000 to write music for Hollywood 'films. He turned the offer down. But he likes films and always goes to the movies when he wants to relax. To -day this Russian -born gen- ius, now an American citizen, does all his work in a sound- proofed workroom in which there are two pianos, a table, paintings and drawings by his SALLY'S SALLIES 'Don't get discouraged, dear, Look what It did for me." two friends, Picasso and Coc- teau. Between his workroom and the living room are two doors. Once the workroom door is shut no one dares to interrupt his work for which he needs, in Mrs. Stravinsky's words, "Com- plete quiet and great concentra , tion," Like all great composers, Stra•• vinsky worries about little things. He has a horror of draughts. He rarely catches cold, but at rehearsals is always afraid of doing so, Sometimes. he has appeared at a rehearsal wearing two sweaters. He is extraordinarily modest about his achievements, In Ven- ice he once said: "1 don't create. I just sniff about and discover musical truffles." (Truffles are edible fungi which grows a few inches beneath the surface of the ground.) "1 live neither in the past nor in the future," says Stravinsky. "I ani in the present.

ISSUE 52 — 1959 SPECIALTY: SELF PORTRAITS — Artist Joan Markson blushed her way through the opening of a one•winnp,'n art show in Madrid, Spain, The show featured eight nude self-po; traits. London Has Its Traffic ,lags Too Like most other great cities, London has a vexing traffic sit- uation—and is trying to do something about it. The onset of the Christmas shopping rush has aggravated the problem, But it also has provided an incentive to make a start on improvements. Britain's energetic new Minis- ter of Transport, Ernest Marples, has instituted a "pink zone" plan for the vast downtown area bordered by Park Lane, Maryle- bone Road, the Strand, and Kings}vay. In essence, his solu- tion is to enforce existing reg- ulations and restrict parking on the badly clogged thoroughfares in the heart of this capital. Britons themselves are of two . minds about what should be done to allow cars to move more freely. One group praises the Marples efforts to clear the streets of private and commer- cial vehicles that block the flow by parking for long intervals, They likewise applauded when the police won a test case against a car -owner who jacked up his inactive, unlicensed, uninsured . auto and left it on the street outside his house. This establish- ed—belatedly, it seemed to some —that motorists cannot expect 1p use the streets as a perma- nent garage. Some portions of London are littered with these "laid -up" cars, which now pres- umably will have to move else- where. . But others argue vigorously that cracking down on drivers and parking is the wrong ap- proach to a solution. They say it is designed to keep motorists from the—very business objec- tives that thrive on their pres- ence. They add that they pay extremely heavy taxes on their ears and gasoline, and that the government's obligation is to ap- ply these funds to building new roads, overpasses and under- passes, to accommodate still more cars. To a foreigner, London's reg- ulations ususually seem strange —even chaotic, A lot of sixth sense is involved, There are vir- tually no official "no parking" signs, You are supposed to know there is no parking on bus routes; yet cars do park safely on streets where buses ply. Nor is lack of buses any guarantee parking is permitted. There are plenty of "no waiting" 'signs —' but with solid ranks of cars parked with apparent impunity right under thein, day after day. One difficulty in penalizing parkers here is that it is not the practice for a "Bobbie" to leave a ticket on the windshield. 1 -Ie niay hang around a reasonable time until the driver returns. But if it turns into a long wait, he can note the license number and seek out the responsible per- son later. This obviously is not a system geared to mass issuance of tickets. Yet the average Brit- on's rejoinder is: Why should ticketing be made easy? The policeman, on the other hand, has wide latitude to decide where and under what circum- stances parking constitutes a violation. On __streets with no prohibiting signs whatever, he can 'jewese a ticket for "causing an obstruction" almost at will— and the courts usually will up- hold his judgment, It matters not that the vehicle may not ac- tually be causing any percepti- ble obstruction to traffic, writes Henry S. Hayword in the Chris- tian Science Monitor, London, moreover, has very fete' painted traffic lane mark- ings. On its broadest streets, sometimes with two or three qac 1V, Somerset Maughrirn i:nest.ir -' \'•.'tl.,m Faulkner MEN OF MILLIONS OF LETTERS — The output of these novelists makes '4p a substantial part of the contemporary literary scene, The polished style of Britisher M•7ugham is known the world over. Faulkner is the leading voice of the American South, pos'lbly the country's most productive literary area Hemingway, leader of the post -World W7r 1 U.S literary revolution, is currently enjoying a renaissance on television. lanes of ears moving in each di- rection, drivers stay in line by magnificent discipline and sheer good judgment, After all, the self-inflicted penalty for chang- ing from one invisible lane to another without appropriate pre- cautionary signals can easily be a crumpled fender. Any newcomer learns the spe- cial rules of London's roads quickly—by virtue of harrowing experiences. Politeness there is, but also grim insistence of rights and the sometimes perplexing rules of the game. Even Britons are baffled as to who has the right of way at a "roundabout" or circle. Into this melee, visiting Amer- ican traffic experts venture 'at their own risk. Baltimore's Traffic Commissioner Harr y Barnes, who was here recently, claims British traffic thinking is "25 years behind the times." He criticized such cherished British institutions as the U-turn, which London taxis are specifically de. signed to make, street parking, and unsynchronized traffic lights. But Don Iddon, the London Daily Mail's correspondent in the United States, scathingly re- plied that Mr. Barnes' Baltimore scarcely is in a position to lec- ture London. It is, he maintains, only the new Chesapeake Bay tunnel, enabling one to bypass the Maryland city, that has helped natters there. Meanwhile, the fact apparent- ly is that Britons prefer- to un- ravel their own traffic snarls, without accepting much back- seat advice from the other side of the Atlantic where, after all, they still drive on the wrong side of the road, Yet the public, of necessity, is awakening to its problem. People are asking why skilled men and earth -moving machinery are standing idle now that the new London -Birming- ham motorway is finished. And why quicker starts are not being made on scores of other urgent street and road projects. The proliferation of the auto- mobile has left then stalled in traffic long enough so that even these patient people arc on the point of sounding their horn in wrath, LESSON CAME LATER A school bus taking .children to school in Napier, New Zeal- and, was delayed 15 minutes be- fore the driver was able to find a substitute for the missing igni- tion key. Later, one of the schoolboy passengers owned up. In an at- tempt to delay the bus he had :;wallowed the key. One hospital, we know, lists most of its accident cases as "the bumper crop."

Thought Storni Was End Of World There have been a few gales of late, but they were just breezes compared w ith the Great Storm. Living in London in November, 1959, were many descendants of families who, on the night of November 26th/ 27th, 1 7 0 3, e:cperienced, the full horror of the most terrible storm in Britain's history. Historian Lord Macaulay des- cribed it as "the only tempest which in our latitude has equal- led the rage of .a hurricane," Hundreds of houses were de- molished or left standing like skeletons and streets in London and other cities were deep in roof -tiles. Falling chimneys killed many people. In Kent alone 1,100 houses and barns were blown down. Sixty barges were piled high on the Thames against the piers and buttresses of old Lon- don Bridge. Thousands of mag- nificent trees were levelled. In the West the Bishop of Wells and his wife were killed in bed, Round the coasts, 8,000 seamen lost their lives. The , storm was so widespread that it made its influence felt over thousands of square miles, do- ing great damage in Holland and France as well as in Britain. The new Eddystone lighthouse'' with its designer, Henry Win- I Stanley, was destroyed. He had stated that he wanted to be in the lighthouse during "the worst storm that ever blew" to prove its durability. Research by weather students into the history of the Great Storm shows that there had been gales and rough weather for several weeks before it burst on Britain from the south west, sweeping across Wales and England at least as far as the Wash. So terrifying was the shriek- ing of the Wind that thousands fled to their cellars and stayed there, some believing that the end of the world was at hand. "I've taken three lessons in French," remarked Joan to her friend. "Could you carry on a conver- sation with a Frenchman?" "No, but I could talk to any- body else who had had three leseonL." NG. Ten fiown,ng Front Unchanged No. 10, the British Prime Min- ister's London hone and official residence in Downing Street, is to be remodeled, but its much - photographed facade will be kept intact. The narrow front- age, the squat black door with the lion's head knocker, and the swinging light on the wrought iron arch are to remain. hnside the patchwork repairs and remodelling by a succession of British Prime Ministers over more than two centuries are to be removed. Only the historic rooms, in- cluding the paneled Cabinet room, will be kept intact, The decision to remodel fol- lows a recent survey by the Crawford Committee which re- ported the building was unsai'e. The foundations are unstable, walls need supporting, stair- cases and floors strengthening and roofs renewing, the Craw- ford Committee said. The report is not surprising. There have been few periods in the life of George Downing's house since it was taken over in 1735 that Prime Ministers have not written of its shortcomings. In his memoirs, published in 1807, William Pitt wrote several 'paragraphs describing the new kitchen and offices, The founda- tions 01 the house were proving unsound even then, the famous Prime A'Iinister recorded. The making over to No. 10 is part of a larger scheme to make more room for secretaries and other officials of the Prime Minister's staff and those of the Treasury. Nos, 11 and 12 Down- ing Street, and the Treasury Buildings in Whitehall, will be reconditioned at the sane time. The whole scheme is expected to cost about four million dol- lars. No. 11 is the official resi- dence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. No. 12 is used by government whips as offices. No. 12, the building nearest St. James's Park, is in effect the rump of an old building whose top stories were destroyed by fire in 1879. It only has a base. ment and ground floor. Now it v,111 be rebuilt to its original height and once more come into line with its two neighbors, Writes Melita Knowles in the Christian Science Monitor. The Treasury in Whitehall will be made good behind its present nineteenth century facade, so that from Whitehall its appearance will not change drastically. The interiors were badly knocked about" in air raids in World War II and only temporary repairs have been made. Architect- Raymond Erith, an expert on reconstruction of 181h - century properties, has been appointed to see that in both the Whitehall building and t h e Downing Street houses historic features of the properties are preserved. All the state apartments of No. 10 are to be preserved, includ- ing that room of drastic and dra- matic decisions, the cabinet +rgpm, with its five long windows looking the garden. SQA blending of family life and n (affairs of state at No. 10, the Hellish prime minister's house, makes this building different: from any other in the land. It is the one house on which there can be no lease and no contract. There's no security of tenure here. On a recent visit to Downing Street I saw a striped-aproned milkman leave the milk at No. 10. The man from Cooks de- livered a travel case, and pigeons cooed in the May ire's.' In moments of crisis, how- ever, crowds flock freely into the street Iron) Whitehall to watch ministers of state arrive or leave. 'rThe greatest moments of all per- haps, the moments fraught with most drama, conte when a prime minister leaves for Buckingham Palace on the other side of St. James's Park to see his sover- eign. The prime minister and his staff are expected to move out of No. 10 into Admiralty House in August, 1060, and the total work of reconstruction may take two years.

Its pastor, Canon Guy Mar- shall, is a tall ruddy man with the white collar and black suit of a clergyman, the springy step of a rugger player and the well -knit shoulders of an ex - middleweight boxer. (And, in- deed, he is all of these). The "parish" is bounded on the east by a rusty spur railway track and a droning sugar re- finery; on the north by Front St4•eet with its growling trailer - trucks.; on the south and west by the docks and Marine Ter• n; rc : No. 11, a shouting, shift- ing, harsh -smelling abstract of ships, caro;ges and men. And in the middle o this squats the Flying Angel itself: a blue -and -white trailer with a worn blue pennant fluttering from its TV aerial. When the first morning breeze from Lake Ontario smooths out the emblem is winged angel) and the worcis "The Missions to Seamen," every merchant sailor within eyeshot knows that Toronto's only wa- terfront mission is open for an- other day. Here, any dt:y during the shipping season, a seaman of any re;igion (or no religion, for that m:.iter) can read a novel, write a letter to his girl, watch TV, talk about home, or — if he seeks it -- find spiritual com- fort. The Flying Angel is one of 89 similar Anglican Church M i s - c i o n s to Seamen around the world, and one of many more operated by other denomina- tions. In this first year of the St. Lawrence Se a w a y, the "Angel" was busier than ever before. By late autumn, ships of 20 nationalities had docked in Toronto to unload and load cargo and, sometimes, to take on bunker fuel. Seamen from such vessels In- variably find the Mission be- cause Marshall visits their ship and extends his welcome as soon as they dock. With their halting English, often aided by the Spanish, French and Italian of the Canon and his volunteer helpers, they make their needs known. And the Mission gener- ally has the answer. Some come for lunch, to watch TV %%c -ter') or to talk out their Ionelipess. Others carry � ' off armloads,,pf rgang matter; the Mission never has enough. Some wsnt shopping advice.- Social director Audrey Paton recently bought a crinoline slip for a sailor's wife while the man wait- ed at the far end of the store, crimson with embarrassment. On Sunday nights Marshall opens the folding doors of the trailer's tiny chapel for services. But if sailors want a clergyman of their own faith or nationality, he rinds one. Recently, for ex- ample, he took the Rev. Paul Ken Irnai aboard the Muneshima Meru, the first Japanese vessel through the Seaway. Some men want to find lost relatives or go to dances, picnics, or Niagara Falls. Many want to. play inter -ship rugger matches; Marshall organizes and referees the games. Once a red -bearded man from Bristol came ashore with an armload of classical re- ,t.nrdl4 hi,hall produced a re- '"`'` tjv�ri''11r.1 the 3"i 1. 'in the Mission with Bach Mozart all afterni9pn. 'Seamen have chang'i.'d in the last 20 year 5," says Marshall. "The, diesel vessels are cleaner, have Netter accommodation and attract better -educated men. They need different entertain- ment on shore; you can't just give then tea and a bun and a ticket to a boxing match."

For more than 24 hours he had fought alone to save it, He had stayed with the ship after ordering his men to leave. gins about 8.30 a.m. Bareheaded, with long -hurrying strides, he leaves the trailer with an arm- load of used magazines, picking his way among crates, kegs, stacks of lumber and reeking bales of raw hides. Everyone knows "the padre": customs offi- cers, ship's captains and paint - stained seamen. He sidesteps a scurrying little dock tractor (waving it on with a grin and a bow that tickles its driver), and goes up the gangway of the Manchester Explorer, three steps at a time, "Good morning, Bos'n. Hoy many men for Niagara Falls to. day?" "Seven so far, padre. Will you have a coffee while I see about i the rest?" Marshall waits in the seamen's mess. A steady proces- sion of men and officers find reasons for dropping in. The padre has greetings for all, ("Go ashore last night?" "Just for a walk, padre " "Well, the Mis- sion's open evenings. Come watch TV if you like.") Marshall washes and dries his cup, hurries down the alleyway, pokes his head in the galley 0, greet the cook, talks football m deck with a tow -headed boy in a duffel coat, and swaps home- town tales with a pink-cheeked young officer from Leeds. Next, aboard the Emstein from Hamburg, he gives the steward a bundle of German magazines. on the Thorsrive• out of Nor- way he promises to organize a rugger game, then calls on Swe- dish and Dutch boats before hurrying home for a hasty lunch with his family and a call on his second parish uptown. 'firm back to the "Angel" for after- noon and evening. perhaps until 11.30 p.m. The Canon never thrusts reli• gion at any man. But if the man voices a problem, Marshall im- mediately drop everything to talk it out, with the language and experience born of 16 years with Missions to Seamen. "This Is much more fun then some quiet little country par- ish in England," Marshall said recently, "But it's changing. 1 spent 14 years with the Mission in Buenos Aires, a tough spot. When m e n became unruly, I simply had to step in and lay them out," He paused thoughtfully, then added with a trace of astonish- ment, "You know, 1 haven't had to break up a fight since I came here!" But somehow you know that in a fight, as in all gentler en- deavours, the padre of the Fly- ing Angel would win the respect of the waterfront. -- From Im- perial Oil Review.

But now he noticed that the lady who had moved onto the park bench with him was smartly dressed in black and had attractive ankles. In a burst of gallantry, he introduced himself. "Ah, Monsieur," sobbed the lady, who said her name was Alice -Annie Linck and that she was 37 years old, "they're bury- ing niy mother. But I am a wi- dow and• I cannot pay for the funeral." Her voice trailed off as she 'added: "And to think that 1 am going to inherit 28 buildings in Switzerland!" Montgardet gave her the 14,- 000 francs ($28) in his billfold. Soon, he was sending her more money to an address in Switzer- land. At first she needed just a few million francs to clear up inheritance taxes. Then an ag- ing relative needed hospitaliza- tion, After that she needed an operation to ensure — she wrote — that she could bear Mont- gardet a child after their mar- riage. Finally, Alice -Annie wrote that she needed a second opera- tion. This one, she said, required that she get two new solid -gold, 18 -carat kidneys. "I thought these would last longer than plastic ones," said the helpful Montgardet. "And with all the marvelous progress that medicine is making, the operation seemed normal to nie," Just to.make sure. Montgardet took a train to Basel and there discovered that his betrothed was really Alice -Annie Stegmul- ler, married to an Alsatian five years her junior. She actually lived only 20 miles away from Montgardet's home in Dax, and with the money she had picked up in Switzerland, had bought a new house, furnished it, and provided fourteen suits for her husband. She had also changed the family's car three times, and had even bought motor scooters for all the nuns in a convent in Alsace. Belligerently pushing his beret back over his balding head, the badly duped Montgardet stormed into court last month charging Alice -Annie with fraud. "Justice" he thundered woefully, "will give it all back to me" — ,the, price of a broken heart and two gold kidneys. —From NEWSWEEK, "'There are hundreds of ways of making money, but only one that's honest," "What's that?"

Those Lost Hunters Hate To Admit It One of my neighbors has been entertaining this fall, and finds that times have changed. Used to be you could take a one -lean crosscut saw and an ax and pro- ceed up into the back woodlot and be by yourself, It was a wonderful trade for the hermit and folks inclined to be reflect- ive. A nice lunch, maybe the dog, and there you were alone and uninterrupted amongst the in- structive beauties of nature. But the chain saw has changed all that, and Chuck says it's an eerie thi$g. It's the lost hunters. The woods are full of them. And `they used to mill around until they foudd themselves, or some- body found them. But now, the minute they lose their bearings they track the noise of the chain saw, and follow it with, unerring instinct right, to Chuck'st''clear- Ing where some afternoons quite a crowd gathers. Chuck has been working in his back lot, a mile or.mpre...Jrom his house. IIe's been cutting both pulpwood and lumber, and hasn't been hurrying. He likes t.0 clean up his ,slash as he goes, and he finds the noise of the saw has to be taken in small par tions, A chain saw has an aur -cooled motor on it, and makes quite a racket, You can hear it for miles on a cool fall day, and in your own hands it be -throbs your ears until the silence, when you shut it off, is deafening. So Chuck has been sawing a while, and axing a while, and resting betimes, and things were going about the way he wanted. About the time the hunting season started, Chuck shut off the engine one afternoon and turned to see a large man in a big red coat come staggering out of the forest. His eyes were bug- ged out, and he looked consid- erably whiplashed, and he seem- ed to give the impression he had just discovered a new continent. Chuck said, "Hello!" The man also said hello, but teemed disappointed in the smallness of the greeting. He seethed to indicate he thought Chuck might have put a little more enthusiasm into it. Of course, Chuck didn't know the man had been lost in the woods and had come ten miles through the swamp toward the chain saw. He didn't realize the man had been so alarmed over his own safety that he expected others to be glad he was spared. Presuming he thought t h e National Guard and the war- den service were long since out looking for him, then Chuck's feeble greeting was certainly slim. Chuck, who didn't know anybody was lost, didn't act par- ticularly delighted at this res- cue. ' When the man figured this all out, he naturally retreated into the position that he'd never been lost. at all, and was merely mak- - -Ing a friendly visit, By this time Chuck had his cue, and he play- ed the thing for fun. The man, naturally, couldn't_ go back into the woods and GOLDEN JUBILEE - This stamp commemorates the 50th anni- versary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America.

Mather laugh the thing off, so he had to hang around until something happened that would tell hitn where he was, In order to do this, he had to offer some reason for being there, and to save face he couldn't. Chuck talked to him some, started up his saw now and then, and spent a leisurely afternoon whittling. a couple of pines, It turned out the fellow was from out-of-state, and in his hot pur- suit of Chuck's chain saw had actually crossed two roads he never saw, This isn't remark- able, because to anybody who is really lost the normal judg- ments are invariably upset, and it's true a man can come out onto his own dooryard and not know it -- if he's turnek,around enough. What amuses' Chuck the most is the reluctance of all his lost hunters to admit they were lost. While they are stoutly putting up fe 'front that they know ex- actly where they are, and came into the clearing on purpose to see who was cutting pulpwood, Chuck tells them weird tales of how'he was' lost once in his own maple grove, and about how he got lost another time in his hard- wood lot, "Followed my white horse out after dark," he says. "Been there yet if I'd had a black horse!" But so far, after Chuck itemizes all the times he was lost, none of these hunters has ever owned up. The way Chuck's land lies, you can go to a highway in any direction and it won't be more than a mile, But the senses get so twisted around that a man can circle himself and not know it. Not at all uncommon is the disbelief in a compass. A man can look at his compass needle, see it point North, and be com- pletely positive the compass is wrong. After that, there is no true direction again. Instincts are unreliable at a time like that, and the confu- sion within the man himself is thorough. That's why he can cross roads he doesn't see - be- cause he just won't believe there is any road there. Truth is, al- most everybody gets lost, at least momentarily, in the real woods, but in most instances recovers before the world knows about it. Occasionally the predicament gets drawn out, and you have the organized search on. Anyway, Chuck Says, "1 got me a sireen song.

IIIEFARM FRONT Jok ::.,ti -fir , :•;ix ..>t'1 Standardized methods of pro- ducing and processing poultry, long advocated at' the Federal level, are being widely adopted today. This uniformity was evident in the market poultry show at Toronto's Royal Winter Fair, ac- cording to E. D. Bonnyman, Poul- try Division, Canada Department of Agriculture. * • • He lauded the effort of grow- ers and processors in standard- izing methods, employing the most up-to-date techniqueis that have been developed. Entries in the big show were down slightly from last year, but the quality was good, Mr. Bonnyman said. Judging was based on the fol- lowing factors: (1) Packing, package appearance and mark- ings; (2) Bloom; (3) Conforma- tion; (4) Flesh; (5) Fat; (6) Dressing. * * * A total of 164 exhibtors this year represented six provinces from Alberta to Prince Edward Island, reflecting the wide in- terest that has been generated in the Royal Winter Fair's mar- ket poultry display - which has become the show window of the national market poultry industry, Eviscerated geese submitted by the Community Farm of the Brethren, Bight, Ont., made up the grand champion box of poul- try. They sold for $2.30 a pound. Harvey Beatty of London, Ont,, had the reserve grand champion box. It contained eviscerated fowl, which brought 75 cents a pound. *• • • Results of baby pig anemia are so serious and ,the prevention of anemia is so simple that this disease should be of no more than historical interest, in the opinion of a leading Canadian animal pathologist. But, adds Dr. Ronald Gwat- kin of the Health of Animals Division, Canada Department of Agriculture, through neglect of simple precautionary measures, iron -deficiency anemia is ex- tremely common. • • • It continues to take a heavy toll of suckling pigs, says Dr. Gwatkin, and indirectly causes other trouble In older pigs. Affected litters appear healthy and active at birth. If not given iron they usually remain healthy for about two weeks, when some begin to show a pallor of the skin, especially on the snout and around the hooves. Puffiness often develops around the eyes. « * • When affected animals try to run about or play, they stop suddenly in an exhausted state, breathe rapidly and deeply and may make a thumping sound. This results from an insufficient. oxygen supply caused by the re- duced oxygen -carrying power of the blood. Many piglets die from uncom- plicated anemia in the first few weeks and the survivors lose their plump, smooth appearance, fail to make proper growth, and are rough and stunted. Death often results from secondary infections that creep In, or from heavy parasitism with round- worms to which anemic pigs are more susceptible than normal ones, ISSUE 52 - 1959 Losses are variable, running as high as 60 per cent in some litters, depending on the severity of the anemia and on the de- gree of exposure to other con- ditions, Most researchers agree that sub -clinical or undetected anemia may play a part in re- ducing the resistance of the pigs to later infections. * • • There are many iron prepara- tions which can be given by mouth or injected into the mus- cles. It has been shown that 0.3 gram of reduced iron - about as much as lies on a dime 7 pre- vents anemia if given once a week until the pigs are on solid food, The first dose should be given the second or third day after birth. It can be given easily and quickly by placing the dose on the back of the tongue with the handle of a teaspoon. • ' Injectable iron is also avail- able and, according to Dr. Gwat- kin, has given better results than the reduced iron. Injections are given in the muscles of the hind leg, Two intramuscular injections containing 100 milligrams of iron each should be given, the first not later than the third day and the second 10 days later. • • * Dr. Gwatkin says discoloration of the skin following injection will not occur if the preparation is injected to a proper depth and the skin drawn down when the needle is inserted so that it moves back and covers the hole in the muscle. A word of warning: . The proper dose of iron- may be expected to give the desired results but overdosage must be avoided. While there appears to be a good degree of tolerance to iron in pigs, it has been shown that excessive doses cause trouble. TRAVEL BOOK Standing in the path of a tor- nado which struck the small village of Fenster, a two-storey general store was completely demolished and its contents scat- tered.

Largest Chunk Of Floating Ice The largest chunk of floating ice in the world rides at anchor in Antarctica, 1t is called the Ross Ice Shelf. Its size alone makes it magnifi- cent. And its historical role as a gateway to a. continent has 'made it famous, Sir James Clark Ross, sailing in the British ship Erebus, in 1841, discovered it, Capt. Robert Falcon Scott camped at its edge in 1901 and launched his cele- brated "furthest south" expedi- tion across its face. I"Ie later came to a tragic end in its un. forgiving snows. Sir Ernest Shackleton march- ed across it on his way south- ward in 1908, and Roald Amund- sen crossed it on his triumphant dash to the South Pole in 1911. Admiral Richard E. Byrd built his Little Americas at its edge. Two present-day Antarctic scientists, Dr. Edward C, Thiel, and Edwin S. lobinson have studied it closely. "The `shelf," says Dr. Thiel, "is about tate size of Texas. And this makes it the largest truly flat place on earth." It is virtually featureless ex- cept for windswept sastrugi, ridges of hardened snow that hump jaggedly up across its face, Its seaward front extends 400 miles athwart the Ross Sea on the Pacific side of the continent. At its deepest, it reaches 500 miles inland from the sea. Its ice ranges in thickness from 800 feet near the edge of the Ross Sea to about 1,500 feet at the foot of the great network of glaciers on the continent's rim, The shelf is fed by the ice of these magnificent glaciers and from the snow that falls and hardens on its face. The nature and characteristics of the Ross Ice Shelf are only now becoming accurately known. An ovcrsnow traverse party, led by Dr. Albert P. Crary, roamed across 1,450 miles of its face during the Antarctic summer of 1957-58. The data gathered then are still being analyzed and in- terpreted. But what is already known makes a striking portrait. Most of the shelf's great mass floats on the water, though in several locations it is grounded. Dr. Thiel and Mr. Robinson -recently proved that the shelf heaves up and down ever -s; slightly with each ebb and flow of the tide beneath it, At the sea's edge it oscillates gently with the action of the waves. The sea on which it floats ex- tends downward from the bot- tom of the ice to as deep as 4,400 feet. One of the shelf's most spec- tacular characteristics is the fashion in which it gives birth to icebergs. Huge tabular bergs the size of the state of Rhode Island are known to have "calved" off from the seaward edges of Antarctic ice shelves, writes John C, Waugh in the Christian Science Monitor, No man e•, er has reported seeing a bare so massive ac- tually breaking away. But a party in I!:"r early 1900's wit- nessed the. calving of a lesser one and rc_ orted that It sounded as if "hundreds of heavy guns had been fired at once." The Ross Ice Shelf is not the only great slab of ice hinged to the shores of this continent. Across Antarctica on the Wed- dell Sea side lies the Filchner Ice Shelf, a partially floating body of ice about two-thirds the size of the Ross Shelf, Around the edge of the con- tinent many lesser shelves and ice tongues cling to the land. All these together form the great iceberg factories of Antarctica. The edge of the Ross Ice Shelf creeps seaward at an astonishing rate of speed. Dr, Thiel and Mr. Robinson estimate it moves out- ward five feet a day. A massive calving will set it back again many miles. But then it re- sumes its steady creeping im- mediately. The study of this great natural wonder is renewed each summer season. Mr. Robinson, who was a member of the Crary traverse party, and Dr. Thiel have been carrying on local measurements this season from the Naval Air Facility hereat McMurdo Sound, James H. Zumberge, profes- sor of geology from the Uni- versity of Michigan, soon will begin a long -terns study of the shelf. His study will concentrate on the nourishment, wastage, movement, and deformation of the shelf. The shelf affords an excellent laboratory for the study of rock deformation. Ice is considered a rock by structural geologists. And marked deformation, which takes ages in ordinary rock oc- curs quickly in shelf ice -within a time scale that a human life- time can span. So men, by ob. serving the Ross Ice Shelf, can witness natural forces at work that are observable nowhere else on earth. "What is an executive?" asks a puzzled reader.

AEI Angel On The Waterfronts To scores of seamen from a score of countries, Toronto's Flying Angel is the only Cana- dian church they know or want, the kind a seagoing man can understand. Its' pastor, Canon Guy Mar- shall, is a tall ruddy man with the white collar and black suit al a clergyman, the springy step of a rugger player and the well -knit shoulders of an ex - middleweight boxer. (And, in- deed, he is all of these). The "parish" is bounded on the east by a rusty spur railway track and a droning sugar re- finery; on the north by Front Street with its growling trailer- truckF:; on the south and west by the docks and Marine Ter• n, n: ; No. 11, a shouting, shift- ing, harsh -smelling abstract of ships, caroges and men. And in the middle eV. this squats the Flying Angel itself: a blue -and -white trailer with a worn blue pennant fluttering from its TV aerial. When the first morning breeze from Lake Ontario smooths out the emblem ;a winged angel) and the words "The Missions to Seamen," every merchant sailor within eyeshot knows that Toronto's only wa- terfront mission is open for ar• other day. Here, any d::y during the shipping season, a seaman of any religion (or no religion, for that matter) can read a novel, write a letter to his girl, watch TV, talk about home, or — if he seeks it — find spiritual com fort, The Flying Angel is one of 89 similar Anglican Church M i s - s i_o n s to Seamen around the world, and one of many more operated by other denomina- tions. In this first year of the St. Lawrence Sea w a y, the "Angel" was busier than ever before. By late autumn, ships of 20 nationalities had docked in Toronto to unload and load cargo and, sometimes, to take on bunker fuel. Seamen from such vessels in- variably find the Mission be- cause Marshall visits their ship and extends his welcome as soon as they dock. With their halting English, often aided by the Spanish, French and Italian of the Canon and his volunteer helpers, they make their needs known. And the Mission gener- ally has the answer. Some come for lunch, to watch TV western or to talk out their loneliness. Others carer off .armloads,;Df- ra:ain; matter; the Mission never has enough. Some wi2.nt shopping advice.- Social director Audrey Paton recently bought a crinoline slip for a sailor's wife while the man wait- ed at the far end cif the store, crimson with embarrassment. On Sunday nights Marshall opens the folding doors of the trailer's tiny chapel for services. But if sailors want a clergyman of their own faith or nationality, he rinds one. Recently, for ex- ample, he took the Rev. Paul Ken [mai aboard the Muneshima Maru, the first Japanese vessel through the Seaway. • Some men want to find lost relatives or go to dances, picnics, or Niagara Falls. Many want to play inter -ship rugger matches; Marshall organizes and referees the games. Once a red -bearded man from Bristol came ashore with an armload of classical re - I produced a re - r. fhe .carriers sat in the Mission\ with Bach ,J Mozart all aftcrnbpn. 'Seamen have changed in the last 20 year s." 'says 'Marshall. "The. diesel vessels are cleaner, have- better accommodation and attract better -educated men. They need different entertain- ment on shore; you can't just give then tea and a bun and a ticket to a boxing match."

THE SKIPPER COMES ASHORE — Capt. Jukka Vuorlo, skipper of the freighter Anna is as. listed ashore by rescuers at Fraserburgh, Scotland after his ship went aground 100 yards from the Scottish shore, Vuorlo abandoned his ship only after Its owners in Helsinki' all but ordered him ashore. For more than 24 hours he had fought alone to save it. He had stayed with the ship after ordering his men to leave. gins about 8.30 a.m. Bareheaded, with long -hurrying strides, he leaves the trailer with an arm- load of used magazines, picking his way among crates, kegs, stacks of lumber and reeking bales of raw hides. Everyone knows "the padre": customs offi- cers, ship's captains and paint - stained seamen. He sidesteps a scurrying little dock tractor (waving it on with a grin and a bow that tickles its driver), and goes up the gangway of the Manchester Explorer, three steps at a time. "Good morning, Bos'n. How many men for Niagara Falls to- day?" "Seven so far, padre. Will you have a coffee while I see about the rest?" Marshall waits in the seamen's mess. A steady proces- sion of men and officers find reasons for dropping in. The padre has greetings for all. ("Go ashore last night?" "Just for a walk, padre." "Well, the Mis- sion's open evenings. Come watch TV if you like.") Marshall washes and dries his cup, hurries down the alleyway, pokes his head in the galley io grect the cook, talks football on deck with a tow -headed boy in a duffel coat, and swaps home- town tales with a pink -checked young officer from Leeds. Next, aboard the Emstein from Hamburg, he gives the steward a bundle of German magazines. on the Thorsriver out of Nor- way he promises to organize a rugger game, then calls on Swe- dish and Dutch boats before hurrying home for a hasty lunch with his fancily and a call on his second parish uptown. Then back to the "Angel" for after- noon and evening, perhaps until 11.30 p.m. The Canon never thrusts reli- gion at any man. But if the man voices a problem, Marshall im- mediately drop everything to talk it out, with the language and experience born of 16 years with Missions to Seamen. "This Is much more fun then some quiet little country par- ish in England," Marshall said recently. "But it's changing. I spent 14 years with the Mission in Buenos Aires, a tough spot. When m e n became unruly, I simply had to . step in and lay (hem out," He paused thoughtfully, then added with a trace of astonish- ment, "You know, I haven't had to break up a fight since I came here!" But somehow you know that in a fight, as in all gentler en- deavours, the padre of the Fly- ing Angel would win the respect of the waterfront. -- From Im- perial Oil Review.

In a burst of gallantry, he introduced himself. "Ah, Monsieur," sobbed the lady, who said her name was Alice -Annie Linek and that she was 37 years old, "they're bury- ing my mother. But I ant a wi- dow and' I cannot pay for the funeral." Her voice trailed off as she added: "And to think that I am going to inherit 28 buildings in Switzerland!" Montgardet gave her the 14,- 000 francs ($28) in his billfold. Soon, he was sending her more money to an address in Switzer= land, At first she needed just a few million francs to clear up inheritance taxes. Then an ag- ing relative needed hospitaliza- tion. After that she needed an operation to ensure — she wrote — that she could bear Mont- gardet a child after their mar- riage, Finally, Alice -Annie wrote that she needed a second opera- tion. This one, she said, required that she get two new solid -gold, 18 -carat kidneys. "I thought 'these would last longer than plastic ones," said the helpful Montgardet, "And with all the marvelous progress that medicine is making. the operation seemed normal to me." Just to.make sure. Montgardet took a train to Basel and there discovered that his betrothed was really Alice -Annie Stegmul- ler, married to an Alsatian five years her junior. She actually lived only 20 miles away from Montgardet's home in Dax, and with the money she had picked up in Switzerland, had Nought a new house, furnished it, and provided fourteen suits for her husband. She had also changed the family's car three times, and had even bought motor scooters for all the nuns in a convent in Alsace. Belligerently pushing his beret back over his balding head, the badly duped Montgardet stormed into court last month charging Alice -Annie with fraud. "Justice" he thundered woefully, "will give it all back to me" —..the price of a broken heart and two gold kidneys. —From NEWSWEEK.

Those Lost Hunters - Huto To Admit It • Oim of my neighbors has been entertaining this fall, and finds that times have changed, Used to he you could take a one-man crosscut saw and an ax and pro- ceed up into the back woodlot and be by yourself. It was a wonderful trade for the hermit and folks inclined to be reflect- ive. A nice lunch, maybe the dog, and there you were alone and uninterrupted amongst the in- structive beauties of nature. But the chain saw has changed all that, and Chuck says it's an eerie thing. It's the lost hunters. The woods are 'full of them. And 'they used to mill around until they foux i themselves, or some- body found thein, But now, the minute they lose their bearings they track the noise of the chain saw, and follow it with, uperring instinct right to Chuck's;clear- ing where some afternoons quite a crowd gathers. Chuck has been working in his back.Jot, a; Mile or.mprt;.irom his house. He's been cutting both pulpwood and lumber, and hasn't been hurrying. He likes to clean up his slash as he goes, and he finds the noise of the saw has to be taken in small por- tions, A chain saw has an air-cooled motor on it, and makes quite a racket. You can hear it for miles on a cool fall day, and in your own hands it be -throbs your ears until the silence, when you shut it off, is deafening. So Chuck has been sawing a while, and axing a while, and resting betimes, and things were going about the way he wanted. About the time the hunting season started, Chuck shut off the engine one afternoon and turned to see a large man in a big red coat come staggering out of the forest. His eyes were bug- ged out, and he looked consid- erably whiplashed, and he seem- ed to give the impression he had just discovered a new continent. Chuck said, "Hello!" The man also said hello, but teemed disappointed in the smallness of the greeting. He seemed to Indicate he thought Chuck might have put a little more enthusiasm into it. Of course, Chuck didn't know the man had been lost in the woods and had come ten miles through the swamp toward the chain saw. He didn't realize the man had been so alarmed over his own safety that he expected others to be glad he was spared. Presuming he thought t h e National Guard and the war- den service were long since out looking for him, then Chuck's feeble greeting was certainly slim, Chuck, who didn't know anybody was lost, didn't act par- ticularly delighted at this res- cue, ' When\the man figured this all out, he naturally retreated into the position that he'd never been lost. at all, and was merely mak- --rag a friendly visit, By this time Chuck had his cue, and he play- ed the thing for fun. The man, naturally, couldn't go back into the woods and GOLDEN JUBILEE - This stamp commemorates the 50th anni- versary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America.

Goddess of mischief 7. Mather laugh the thing off, so he had to hang around until something happened that would tell him where he was. In order to do this, he had to offer some reason for being there, and to save face lie couldn't. Chuck talked to him some, started up his saw now and then, and spent a leisurely afternoon whittling a couple of pines. It turned out the fellow was from out-of-state, and in his hot pur- suit of Chuck's chain saw had actually crossed two roads he never saw. This isn't remark- able, because to anybody who is really lost the normal judg- ments are invariably upset, and it's true a man can come out onto his own dooryard and not know it - if he's tur•nedsai»ound enough. What amuses Chuck the most is the reluctance of all his lost hunters to admit they were lost. While they are stoutly putting up ie front that they know ex- actly where they are, and came into the clearing on purpose to see who was cutting pulpwood, Chuck tells them weird tales of hotv'lie was`lost once in his`own maple grove, and about how he got lost another time in his hard- wood lot, "Followed my white horse out after dark," he says. "Been there yet if I'd had a black horse!" But so far, after Chuck itemizes all the times he was lost, none of these hunters has ever owned up. The way Chuck's land lies, you can go to a highway in any direction and it won't be more than a mile. But the senses get so twisted around that a man can circle himself and not know il. Not at all uncommon is the disbelief in a compass. A man can look at his compass needle, see it point North, and be com- pletely positive the compass is wrong. After that, there is no true direction again. Instincts are unreliable at a time like that, and the confu- sion within the man himself is thorough. That's why he can cross roads he doesn't see - be- cause he just won't believe there is any road there. Truth is, al- most everybody gets lost, at least momentarily, in the real woods, but in most instances recovers before the world knows about it. Occasionally the predicament gets drawn out, and you have the organized search on. Anyway, Chuck says, "I got me a sireen song. They come at me like the needle to the lode- star, wallowing across bogs, chasing the willy-the-wisk of my chain saw. Come walking out bug-eyed, and then stand around all afternoon to folly me home. I'm going to put me in for a hero medal. Chuck McGowan, the Loreloo of the Limberlost. I see more people up in my woodlot than go to Grange, and while I ain't exactly unpopular at Grange, I can tell you thein hunters is a good deal more hap- py to see me than the Worthy Master is!" - By John Gould in the Christian Science Monitor. Those Cows Aren't Always Contented Those contented cows in our pastures are not so contented after all. They're hungry, two Cornell professors say. Profs. J. K. Loosli and R. G. Warner of the State College of Agriculture at Cornell say most dairymen give their cows less than 15 pounds, of good grain. The average cow will produce up to five pounds more milk a day if her menu includes 20 pounds of grain, the professors say.

TllLFANFROM Standardized methods of pro- ducing and processing poultry, long advocated at' the Federal level, are being widely adopted today, This uniformity was evident in the market poultry show at Toronto's Royal Winter Fair, ac- cording to E. D. Bonnyman, Poul- try Division, Canada Department of Agriculture. * • • He lauded the effort of grow- ers and processors in standard- izing methods, employing the most up-to-date techniques that have been developed. Entries in the big show were down slightly from last year, but the quality was good, Mr. Bonnymein said. Judging was based on the fol- lowing factors: (1) Packing, package appearance and mark- ings; (2) Bloom; (3) Conforma- tion; (4) Flesh; (5) Fat; (6) Dressing. * • * A total of 164 exhibtors this year represented six provinces from Alberta to Prince Edward Island, reflecting the wide in- terest that has been generated in the Royal Winter Fair's mar- ket poultry display - which has become the show window of the national market poultry industry. Eviscerated geese submitted by the Community Farm of the Brethren, Bight, Ont., made up the grand champion box of poul- try. They sold for $2.30 a pound. Harvey Beatty of London, Ont., had the reserve grand champion box. It contained eviscerated fowl, which brought '75 cents a pound. * 5 • Results of baby pig anemia are so serious and .the prevention of anemia is so simple that this disease should be of no more than historical interest, in the opinion of a leading Canadian animal pathologist. - But, adds Dr. Ronald Gwat- kin of the Health of Animals Division, Canada Department of Agriculture, through neglect of simple precautionary measures, iron -deficiency anemia is ex- tremely common. 5 • • It continues to take a heavy toll of suckling pigs, says Dr. Gwatkin, and indirectly causes other trouble in older pigs. Affected litters appear healthy and active at birth, If not given iron they usually remain healthy for about two weeks, when some begin to show a pallor of the skin, especially on the snout and around the hooves. Puffiness often develops around the eyes. 5 * * When affectedanimals try to run about or play, they stop suddenly in an exhausted state, breathe rapidly and deeply and may make a thumping sound. This results from an insufficient oxygen supply caused by the re- duced oxygen -carrying power of the blood. Many piglets die from uncom- plicated anemia In the first few weeks and the survivors lose their plump, smooth appearance, fail to make proper growth, and are rough and stunted, Death often results from secondary Infections that creep in, or from heavy parasitism with round- worms to which anemic pigs are more susceptible than normal ones. ISSUE 52 - 1959 Losses are variable, running as high as 60 per cent in some litters, depending on the severity of the anemia and on the de- gree of exposure to other con- ditions, Most researchers agree that sub -clinical or undetected anemia may play a part in re- ducing the resistance of the pigs to later infections. • 5 There are many iron prepara- tions which can be given by mouth or injected into the mus- cles. It has been shown that 0.3 gram of reduced iron - about as much as lies on a diene - pre- vents anemia if given once a week until the pigs are on solid food. The first dose should be given the second or third day after birth. It can be given easily and quickly by placing the dose on the back of the tongue with the handle of a teaspoon. ' Injectable iron is also avail- able and, according to Dr. Gwat- kin, has given better results than the reduced iron. Injections are given in the muscles of the hind leg. Two intramuscular injections containing 100 milligrams of iron each should be given, the first not later than the third day and the second 10 days later. • • * Dr. Gwatkin says discoloration of the skin following injection will not occur if the preparation is injected to a proper depth and the skin drawn down when the needle is inserted so that it moves back and covers the hole in the muscle. A word of warning: • The proper dose of Irons may be expected to give the desired results but overdosage must be avoided. While there appears to be a good degree of tolerance to iron in pigs, it has been shown that excessive doses c a u s e trouble. TRAVEL BOOK Standing in the path of a tor- nado which struck the small village of Fenster, a two-storey general store was completely demolished and its contents scat- tered. Four days later while plough- ing his land, some 45 miles dis- tant from Fransler, farmer Roo- ert Beal found an account book bearing the name of the store. Largest Chunk Of Floating Ice The largest chunk of floating ice in the world rides at anchor in Antarctica. It is called the Ross Ice Shelf. Its size alone snakes it magnifi- cent, And its historical role as a gateway to a' continent has 'made it famous, Sir James Clark Ross, sailing in the British ship Erebus, in 1841, discovered it, Capt. Robert Falcon Scott camped at its edge in 1901 and launched his cele- brated "furthest south" expedi- tion across its face, He later came to a tragic end In its un. forgiving snows. Sir Ernest. Shackleton march- ed across it on his way south- ward in 1908, and Roald Amund- sen crossed it on his triumphant dash to the South Pole in 1911, Admiral Richard E. Byrd built his Little Americas at its edge. Two present-day Antarctic scientists, Dr. Edward C, Thiel, and Edwin S. Robinson have studied it closely. "The shelf," says Dr. Thiel, "is about t:ie size of Texas. And this makes it the largest truly flat place on earth." It is virtually featureless ex- cept for windswept sastrugi, ridges of hardened snow that hump jaggedly up across its face, Its seaward front extends 400 miles athwart the Ross Sea on the Pacific side of the continent. At its deepest, it reaches 500 miles inland from the sea. Its ice ranges in thickness from 800 feet near the edge of the Ross Sea to about 1,500 feet at the foot of the great network of glaciers on the continent's rim. The shelf is fed by the ice of these magnificent glaciers and from the snow that falls and hardens on its face. The nature and characteristics of the Ross Ice Shelf are only now becoming accurately known. An oversnow traverse party, led by Dr. Albert P. Crary, roamed across 1,450 miles of its face during the Antarctic summer of 1957-58. The data gathered then are still being analyzed and in- terpreted. But what is already known makes a striking portrait. Most of the shelf's great mass floats on the water, though in several locations it is grounded, Dr, Thiel and Mr. Robinson --recently proved that the shelf heaves up and down ever' as; slightly with each ebb and flow of the tide beneath it. At the sea's edge it oscillates gently with the action of the waves. The sea on which it floats ex- tends downward from the bot- tom of the ice to as deep as 4,400 feet. One of the shelf's most spec- tacular characteristics is the fashion in which it gives birth to icebergs. Huge tabular bergs the size of the state of Rhode Island are known to have "calved" oft from the seaward edges of Antarctic ice shelves, writes John C. Waugh in the Christian Science Monitor, No man ever has reported seeing a berg so massive ac- tually breaking away. But a party in ths early 1900's wit- nessed the. calving of a lesser one and re orted that it sounded as it "hundreds of heavy guns had been fired at once." The Ross Ice Shelf is not the only great slab of ice hinged to the shores of this continent. Across Antarctica on the Wed- dell Sea side lies the Filchner Ice Shelf, a partially floating body of ice about two-thirds the size of the Ross Shelf. .Around the edge of the con- tinent many lesser shelves and ice tongues cling to the land. All these together form the great iceberg factories of Antarctica. The edge of the Ross Ice Shelf creeps seaward at an astonishing rate of speed. Dr. Thiel and Mr. Robinson estimate it moves out- ward five feet a day, A massive calving will set it back again many miles. But then it re- sumes its steady creeping im- mediately, The study of this great natural wonder is renewed each summer season. Mi'. Robinson, who was a member of the Crary traverse party, and Dr. Thiel have been carrying on local measurements this season from the Naval Air Facility hereat McMurdo Sound. James H, Zumberge, profes- sor of geology from the Uni- versity of Michigan, soon will begin a long-term study of the shelf. Itis study will concentrate on the nourishment, wastage, movement, and deformation of the shelf. The shelf affords an excellent laboratory for the study of rock deformation, Ice is considered a rock by structural geologists. And marked deformation, which takes ages in ordinary rock oc- curs quickly in shelf ice -within a time scale that a human life- time can span. So Bien, by ob- serving the Ross Ice Shelf, can witness natural forces at work that are observable nowhere else on earth.
