Severe Ice Storm
Causes Black -out
One of the worst ice storms to hit
Ontario In past years occurred on Mon-
day o,vhen freezing rain blanketed the
area. falling.continually during the day
and turning to snow early in the even-
ing.. !if'
Bly,=.'was on the outer rim of a
power failure that left the community
Without:. hydro fur approximately five
''hoots. -It Was reported that the town
of Wingham did not experience the in-
ttirruptioii, but all points South, affect-
ed • by the Seaforth sub -station, ware
without power. Short •hydro interrup-'
tions were experienced numerous times
during the day but it wasn't until five
p.m. that the big break came, lasting
until after 11 o'clock..
Many local residents who have instal-
_ led forced air furnaces In their homes,
bad" n iii ilii1ieriinit ^r-terienee - of
being without heat until power was re-
stored and we can imagine fnahy would
he feeling the bitter hands of old man
winter slowly creeping into their
homes.
We at the Standard Office were hav-
ing such difficulties, and when it was
learned. that the Philps were also in
similar _circumstances they were joined
by us in the Drug store, which is heated
by a gravity furnace, for the evening
meal consisting of salmon sandwiches,
pickles, cookies and milk. We were
"holed up" . in the Drug store for sev-
eral hours when the Madills noticed
our plight,and extended an invitation
to a warm house and hot cup of coffee,
for which all were grateful.
The only bright aspect of the storm
was that we found .it very good for the
candle business.
Our sympathy is extended to Mr:
Donald .Young, local telephone fore-
man, who how has the unpleasant task
of repairing numerous telephone lines
and replacing many poles that were
damaged during the storm.
No other damage has been reported
other than the usual fallen trees etc.

born in the ,brightest and sunniest hour of the day - but it was otherwise.
This should teach us the way in which IIe loves to be horn, even ncw, in
our hearts. Christ is often horn in man's soul in the darke. t hours et despair,
loneliness and sadness,
\Vha't quietness and stillness there was on the night o[ that holy birth and
the strange and awful peace which reigned over the lowly stable whoa lay the
Christ child. '('his should teach us that when Christ comes to us, Ile brines
an inward and abiding peace. In life we need not so much a lessening of the
forces outside us but a strengthening of the forces within us. `trial reveals this
truth, When sorrow and worry come to the worldly heart, that knows net the
love of God, it usually breaks it clown and hope, joy and strength vanish. But
the Christian is sustained and strengthened by the "Peace of God which pas.
seth all understanding."
At this season, with another year ending, we, are reminded of the transit-
ari.ness of life and earthly things and in the words of one of our prayers, "we
have left undone those things which we ot';ht to have done, and done these
things which we' ought not to have dotie." May we always remember the words
written in Galatians .6: "I3e not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoevc
a man sowcth that shall he reap."
Yet at the beginning of a New Year,' we are again confident that "Gcd it
love" and "New is the accepted time" and it is still not too late to respond k
His eternal love.
Let us then with hearty repentance and true faint turn unto . Ilim, trul
serving Trim all the days of our life, finding strength "in quietness and con('
dente."

Dangers Of The
Slimming, Craze
She could never wear a swim-
suit, a pair of slacks of a pretty
dance dress. She never went to
parties and she had no boy
friends. At the office the girls
used to call her "Podge," or
"Apple Dumpling" or "Two -ton
Tessie."
FOR SHE WAS FAT AND
SHE FELT AN OUTCAST,
So twenty-one-year-old Belin-
da decided to start slimming. She
gave up potatoes and bread, then
she began living on liquids three
days a week, She also took
slimming pills. Within four
months she chopped from 182
lbs. to 144 lbs. She started faint-
ing, became depressed, unable
to sleep. She had to stay away
from work.
"It used to make me wild the
way she would not eat," said her
father. "She took sandwiches to
work and at home she would
just pick at her food."
Belinda was prescribed sleep-
ing tablets and received psy-
chiatric treatment. But within a
few weeks she was dead. Her
liver had been severely damaged
by a drug which she had taken
for slimming, said the coroner.
Thousands of girls are risking
their lives to -day by starving
themselves in order to reduce
weight, The trouble is they can't
stop after losing a few pounds
because they get what doctors
call a "slimming neurosis."
A fourteen -year-old girl dread-
ed getting fat so she practically
stopped eating. For the whole
of one month she ate nothing
but eggs and apples. Her weight
dropped by 2 Ib. a week. She
became so thin and weak that
she "wasted away" and died in
hospital three months later. She
had contracted pneumonia be-
cause she refused to eat.
But is this craze for a sylph-
like figure really justified? There
is a great difference between
excessive overweight and pleas-
ant plumpness, And some men
prefer a plump girt.
In fact, a fat girl has a better
chance of finding a husband than
a thin one, says Dr, R. W, Par-
nell, research physician in psy-
chological medicine at Oxford
University.
Giving a slap in the eye to the
glamorous film star brigade, he
says that buxom girls are marry-
ing off far more easily than the
slim, willowy types.
According to Dr. Parnell the
type of girl seen most often at
the altar to -day is "fat, fairly
musculaf and shortish." He rates
her chances at ninety per cent,
The thin, very tall girl apparen-
tly stands only a sixty per cent.
chance.
A London girl's marriage
crashed because she slimmed too
much, Hazel was a fat and jolly
238 lbs,., when her boy friend,
Allan, proposed. She determined
that by the time they married
she would lose a lot of that ex-
cess weight. Het daily diet for
a year consisted of a slice of
toast, a dry biscuit and a lettuce
leaf.
On her wedding clay she was
down to 140 lbs. But three
months later they had parted,
For Hazel's personality had
chanced along with her statis-
tics: she was no longer the same
girl to Allan.
"Haze 1's figure has altered
everything," said Allan. "She
was a happy-ge-lucky sort of
person when we first met. I like
fat people because they laugh
and enjoy life. She's quite a
different girl from the one 1
courted."
Emotional troubles are not the
only ones caused by excessive
slimming. Overdoses of certain
slimming tablets can turn honest
folk into sneak thieves, say doc-
tors. There was the case of a
224 lbs. Crewe man who took
drugs to reduce his weight,
They brought him down to 168
lbs., but, said a psychiatrist,
they also caused him to break
Into a house, steal two passports,
light fires in the home of a
former mayor of Crewe, and
take a car without the owner's
consent.
"11 all came about because he
tried to get his weight down,"
said the psychiatrist.
One of the most tragic cases
of excessive slimming was that
of Allyn King, the beautfiul
Ziegfeld Follies girl of pre-war
days. •
She became the toast of New
York at 145 lbs., for at that time
men liked their showgirls
plump. Then suddenly the "Slim
Look" came to Broadway and
Allyn was too fat.
Strict dieting brought her
down to 115 lbs. and won her a
new contract, But the manage-
ment said she must not put on
more than 16 lbs. and her meas-
urements must not vary more
than half an inch,
Six years of torture followed
for Allyn. Every day she took
slimming pills and kept to a
near -starvation diet. One day
she collapsed, She went to a
sanatorium for two years, but
the strain had affected her mind
as well as her body. She jump-
ed to her death from a fifth -
floor window.
Americans, who never do
things by halves, spend $200,-
000,000 a year on trying to shed
their loads. The Secretary of
Health has now decided to take
a close look at some of the pills,
drugs and gadgets which, he
says, are being "foisted off" on
the public,
"The only way to cure stout-
ness is to stop eating," he says.
"What is needed is a simple,
safe and sane food, drug or de-
vice which will bring about loss
of body weight by helping a per-
son to cut down food intake
without damage. But that has
not yet been produced,"
What is being done in Britain?
A Ministry of Health spokesman
says that in June, 1958, a depart-
mental committee was appoint-
ed to investigate drugs of addic-
tion which might be habit-form-
ing. The committee was still
hearing evidence -and a report
could not be expected until next
year.
Fat people have been a sub-
ject for mirth or scorn for fai
too long. One of the most cruel
references to obesity occurred in
a song a few years ago, "She's
Too Fat For Me."
This craze for slimness is not
world-wide, Go to Morocco, for
instance, and you'll find they
like their women fat. "My
plumpness is a real asset here,"
said a Tangier socialite. ''I am
passing middle -age but men still
look at me with admiration."
A Danish girl weighing 196
lbs,, never had a single date in
Copenhagen. But in Rabat she
was pursued by wealthy young
Moroccans who begged to take
her out,
In the South Seas, too, it'sa
sign of beauty to be stout, This
may be disillusioning if you be-
lieve in those tales of slim,
sinuous South Sea maidens but
it's vouched for by Bengt Dani-
elssen, one of the Kon-Tiki crew.
In his hook, "Love in the
South Seas," he quotes Sir Basil
Thompson, prime minister to the
native King of Tonga at the
close of the last century: "The
perfect woman must be fat; her
neck must he short , .. she must
have no waist, and if nature has
cursed her with that defect she
must disguise it with draperies;
her bust and hips and thighs
must be colossal."
Of course, some people are too
fat, and they should try to shed
their loads. But they should do
so by following a sensible diet,
taking plenty of exercise. and by
consulting their doctor about
slimming pills,
Far too many girls slim by
skimping their meals, by living
on coffee and toast. They be-
come nervy and irritable, their
work suffers and so does their
appearance.
As a result, they're far less
likely to become brides than the
girls who stuff themselves full
of candy and cakes!

Duck, like most poultry, may
be roasted either with or with-
out stuffing,
'Your stuffing base may be
rice or bread or potatoes. Fruit
is often added to duck stuffing,
apples, prunes, and cranberries
being most often used, Celery
and onion are also good to use
in duck stuffing, and sometimes
ducks are stuffed with sauer-
kraut.
Oven temperature for roast-
ing duck should be about 325
degrees F. throughout the cook-
ing. Use a shallow pan, with no
cover, Add no water. A good
rule for the time of roasting
is to allow at least 30 minutes
per pound and then test for
doneness. The duck is done
when the thick portion of the
drumstick feels quite soft when
pressed, and the leg joint can
be moved up and down easily.
Because duck is fat, it needs no
basting, but spread a glaze over
your duck for the last 20 min-
utes of baking.

Paid Millions
For Forged Art
The greatest hoax in the his-
tory of art began one day in
1937, when a noted expert iden-
tified a dusty painting found in
the Paris apartment of a recent-
ly deceased businessman as a
genuine painting by the great
Dutch artist, Jan Vermeer (1632-
1675).
For years afterwards, at some
interval of time in each case,
another "new Vermeer" would
show up. Only a few experts
ever expressed doubts that these
were actual. works by Vermeer,
and museums and collectors were
delighted to pay vast sums of
money for them, ranging from
a quarter of a million dollars to
a million and More.
One of the nicest things about
the hoax, when it was finally
uncovered, was the fact that
many of the persons who were
duped were bigwig Nazi free-
booters like Hermann Goering,
no mean imposter in his own
way.

A City Unafraid
Hong Kong, the free world's
window on Red China, etches
two overwhelmingly insistent
impressions on the newcomer: the
beauty of its harbor view and
the bursting vitality of its three
million citizens, Hong Kong har-
bor's loveliness is simply breath-
taking. It should be savored
preferably at night from a
friend's balcony high on Victoria
Peak, with wheeling stars above
and the myriad lights of passen-
ger ships, junks, sailboats, war-
ships, tugs, and ferries reflected
in the water below.
In the middle distance, behind
Kowloon City, rows of blue lights
pinpoint a run*ay thrusting over
8,000 feet into the sea; in the far
distance loom the dark shapes of
Tai Mo Shan, over 3,000 feet
high, and Ma On Shan, 2,300 feet
high.
The air is clear and cold on
Victoria Peak at this time of year,
and one is reminded a bit of a
New England fall, though of
course without the accompanying
riot of gold and scarlet foliage,
On the peak the homes are Eng-
lish in the discreet neatness of
their surrounding shrubbery and
lawns.
But as one descends to lower
levels the colorful clangor of the
city's Chinese sections comes into
its own. British -built Wolsely
buses, painted a bright red, and
green double-decker tramcars
thread their way through streets
crammed with trucks, Mercedes
Benz taxis, scooters, bicycles,
and innumerable private cars of
all makes (mostly European),
not to mention rickshaws and
coolies jogging along with in-
credible loads suspended from
their stout bamboo poles,
Walking along these bustling
streets, dickering with merchants

ning speed, listening to street
vendors' cadenced . cries, being

here is a city which by every

A crown colony, Hong Kong sits
right on the doorstep of Com-
munist China, whose troops could
march in any time they pleased.
It lost almost all its traditional
trade with China when the
Communists took over 10 years

from the mainland than it exports
to it.
It is the most crowded city on

lion people jammed into little

duced 400 years ago, of many

This Golden potato, still grow-
ing wild in its original habitat,
is yellow -fleshed. Though small
and knobbly, it has a pleasant
taste, and never discolours when

Fully one-third of Hong Kong's
population consists of refugees
from the Communist mainland —
most of them having fled with
nothing but the cotton shirt an
trousers they were wearing.
These refugees constitute a stag-
gering burden for a territory as
small as Hong Kong, with no
natural resources of its own, to
handle, London and the United
Nations have helped to some ex,
tent, but most of the work and
expense of resettling refugee.

members of the community has
been carried out by Hong Kong
singlehanded,
With all these discouraging
factors to contend with, Hong

going under. Its British Govern-

have combined forces to tackle
their problem's one by one --
first of all to challenge nature
by levelling hills and pushing

lem not by expanded dole but by

Furthermore, Hong Kong is a
strenuous place in which to live.

How The Greatest
Bible Was Made
For centuries English-speak-
ing people have read and loved
the King James version of the
Bible. In a general way, many
have known the story of its
place in the march of English
translations from Wycliffe and
Tyndale to the modern versions
of today, But few have asked,
"Who were these men who
wrought this magnificent work?"
"'How did they go about their
task?"
The author 'tells us this almost
unknown' story, With a scholar-
ly devotion that' shines through
the pages 'of his posthumously
pubished account, Gustavus S.
Paine, in his new book, THE
LEARNED MEN, gives us th.s
beloved Bible version in the

Anglican controversies, of Kinn

and's distinguished scholars at

discussed, the author has been
able to give us new material on
how the scholars worked, His
extensive bibliography is further
evidence of the research that un-
dergirds this absorbing, highly
readable volume.
Like a scene 'from a novel, the
account begins with the dramatic
sleeting at Hampton Court call-
ed by. the King in response to
demands, and petitions from var-
ious religious factions contesting
for changes In his realm. It was
a stormy meeting, and although
Dr. John Rainolds of the Puri-
tan group was heard to mention
the need for a new Bible ver-
sion and some others present
would have agreed, the conflicts
were over other matters. Out of
it, however, came the King's
directive to go forward with
what became the greatest liter-
ary work in English of all time.

As the men are chosen by the
Bishop of London, Richard Ban-
croft, the groups take form 'for
us. In the pages that follow we
see them at work, and learn of
their daily activities, their per-
sonal problems, their qualifica-
tions, and the events of their
later years, Mr. Paine has search-
ed then all out,
Head of the six working
groups, which met In three
places, was the much loved Dr.
Lancelot Andrewes, Dean of
Westminster, w h o knew 15
languages. At Oxford, under Dr,
John Harding, Regius Professor
of Hebrew, Isaiah through Mal-
achi, and the Gospels, Acts, and
Revelation were done, The West-
minster groups, headed by Dean
Andrewes and meeting "in his
pleasant deanery," did Genesis
through Kings, and Romans
through Jude. The Cambridge
groups under Edward Lively,
did I Chronicles through Ec-
clesiastes, and the Apocrypha.
"To it, therefore," Mr, Paine
comments, "we are indebted for
the Psalms."
Emerging as writer of the
greater preface - seldom includ-
ed in modern printings but of
more interest than ever in the
light of this account of the
"learned men" at work - is Dr.
Miles Smith of the Old Testa-
ment Oxford group, a Calvinist,
- who also as editor went over the
whole final version. "Because he
was the final critic who looked
for flaws and smoothed out the
whole translations there is per-
haps more of Dr. Miles Smith in
the King James version than of
any other man," says Mr. Paine.
Many beautiful tributes to the
glory of the translation are in-
cluded by the author, his own
unsurpassed by none. They are
too long to quote here, but one
point made by Mr. Paine in his
preface seems a fresh thought:
"One of its great virtues," he
says, "is that it allows and impels
us to put any part of it into
other words, into our words,
that we may get glimpses of
more meanings from it, and then
turn back to it with more de-
light and profit than ever be-
fore."
Wanted To Saw
Manhattan In Two
In 1824, when New York had
a population of about 150,000,
one of the favorite gathering
places for men of leisure who
liked to sit in the sunshine and
exchange gossip and opinions
was the Centre Market, at Grand,
Baxter and Centre Streets. One
of the principal bench warmers,
and the most prominent of the
men of opinion, was a retired
carpenter and contractor named
Lozier.
He convinced all of his cron-
ies that he and Mayor Stephen
Allen had become alarmed about
the condition of the island of
Manhattan.
They had decided, Lozier told
his crowd, that the lower end of
the island was in danger of fall-
ing into the Bay. So, he said, it
was desirable to saw the island
off, at' Kingsbridge, on the nor-
thern end, and then turn the
island around, In this way,
Kingsbridge would be where
the Battery had been, and the
Battery, of course, would be up
north.
The story spread, and every-
one believed it. Lozier went so
far as to organize teams of la-
borers and engineers who were
to do the sawing, and large
crowds of swimmers, who were
supposed to turn the island
around. He absconded with the
city appropriations for the work.
When he was not to be found,
near the deadline he had set,
the hoax was exposed and a riot
was narrowly averted.

The Soviet Union wants to
acquire poultry breeding stock
from Canada, both for broiler
production and for egg laying
strains,
This was made clear during a
visit to Canada of a four -man
delegation headed by Mr. Bag-
danov, Chief Poultry Specialist,
USSE, Ministry of Agriculture.
The group toured parts of On-
tario and Quebec, conferring
with federal authorities at Ot-
tawa. They returned home late
last month after an 18 -day study
of Canada's poultry industry.

The Russians were particular-

They were interested, not only
In procuring breeding stock, but
also equipment.
At the close of the tour, a
reception was held at the Rus-
sian Embassy in Ottawa for all
of the Canadian hosts. •
A revolution has quietly but
firmly gripped Canada's cheese
industry during the past 20
years.
Cheese factories have emerged
from the upheaval with their
numbers thinned drastically,
But at the sante time, each fac-
tory has stepped up its produc-
tion tremendously.
O.H.J. White, chief Inspection
and Grading, Dairy Products Di.
vision, Canada Department of
Agriculture, points out that in
1938 there was an average of
1,333 boxes of cheese graded
per plant in Ontario, while last
year this figure had been boost-
ed to 3,698.
4 4
He also notes that the number
of factories offering cheese for
grading in Ontario had shrunk
from 659 in 1938 to 182 last
year.
The reason?
One of the major contributing
factors was the Cheese Factory
Improvement Act, passed in
1939, under which the Federal
government undertook to p a y
part of the cost of new material,
new equipment and labour for
reconstructing an existing fac-
tory or in building and equip-
ping a new factory which re-
placed two or more existing
factories. y
A proviso was that the cheese
ripening room . in such factories
was sufficiently insulated and
equipped with mechanical refri-
geration to control the tempera-
ture of the ripening room.
This legislation resulted in
many of the smaller, unecono-
mical and poorly -equipped fac-
tories being amalgamated with
reconstructed or newly -built fac-
tories.
While cheese factories were
being reduced in Ontario, Ca-
nada's population was climbing
and there was a greater diver-
sion in the use of milk.
Of the 15,7 billion pounds of
milk produced in Canada in
1939, 8.6 per cent went into
cheddar and 2.9 per cent into
concentrated milk products and
ice cream. A record milk pro-
duction was reached last year
at 18 billion pounds, with 6,1
per cent going into cheddar
cheese and eight per cent into
concentrated milk products and
ice cream, 4 * 4
In Ontario last year, 12.6 per
cent of the milk produced went
into cheese and 10.8 per cent
into concentrated milk products.
These figures are the highest
for any province in Canada.
Quebec Is next in production,
using 4.9 per cent and 7,7 per
cent respectively.
In 1938, there were 78,216,582
pounds of cheese graded in On-
tario and last year there were
60,804,533 pounds.
4, 4 4
Sums up Mr. White: "The
cheese industry today is concen-
trated in Ontario in larger, more
efficiently operated plants, re-
sulting in a greater average pro-
duction per factory.
"The raw milk is being used
in a much greater diversified
manner compared with 1938,
with the average returns to the
producer being greater."

should be preached in llis name
among all nations.Luke 24:47.
During this quarter we con-
tinue our study of the Book of
Acts, We shall follow Saul
(from his visit to Cyprus known
as Paul) in his three mission-
ary journeys and finally to
Rome the capital of the Empire.
While Barnabas and Saul
were ministering in the church
at Antioch they were called of
God to a .special w o r k. The
church, after fasting and prayer,
endorsed the project. "So they,
being sent forth by .the Holy
Ghost, 'departed." It is impor-
tant for any, going to preach
the Gospel to the heathen, to
know that God has sent them.
To have 'the backing of the
church is a great consolation,
too. One ']night succeed without
the support of the church. The
Divine call and guidance is im-
perative.
Barnabas and ' Saul went to
Cyprus, the island where Bar-
nabas used to live, The deputy
of the country was glad to hear
the Word of God, The smiting
of the interfering sorcerer with
blindness was the first record-
ed supernatural sign wrought
through Saul. Leaving Cyprus,
Paul and Barnabas crossed over
to the mainland. From now on
Paul is the obvious leader of
the team. At this point, John
Mark, a nephew of Barnabas
who had accompanied them, re-
turned to Jerusalem. W a s he
homesick? it is never stated
that he was called of God to
this work. However, we shall
hear more of John Mark. If he
failed at this point, he cer-
tainly redeemed himself later,
His greatest accomplishment
was the writing of the Gospel
record that bears his name.
At Antioch in Pisidia, Paul
and Barnabas first preached in
the synagogue. This became the
usual practice when they reach-
ed a new town. His sermon here
was typical. He passed in quick
review over the history of Israel
down to David. Then he preach-
ed of Jesus, of the seed of Da-
vid, He emphasized. His resur-
rection, The next Sunday there
was a great multitude of Gen-
tiles. The envious Jews raised
.persecution and Paul and Bar-
nabas had to flee, Before they
left many had believed. "And
the disciple, :ere filled with
joy, and with the Holy Ghost."
Teenager Forged
Shakespeare Play
There have been many famous
literary imposters who claimed
to have found manuscripts of
known and unknown novels and
plays by great authors, but none
was so successful as 17 -year-old
William Henry Ireland who, in
1796, forged Shakespeare docu-
ments and complete plays, and
then capped his fakeries by writ-
ing a play - a bad one - and
palming it off as a get uine work
by the Bard of Avon, And it
was actually produced in Lon-
don, with the most eminent ac-
tor pf the time playing the lead.
So widely accepted were these
forgeries that Boswell knelt be-
fore some of the purported
manuscripts and before a leek
of hair which Ireland chat "ed
was from the head of SInd s-
peare, grateful for the prig 11t ee.
The Prince of Wales was an-
other of the many gullible be-
lievers in Ireland's "finds." Ire-
land and his father, a noted bunk
collector and book lover, beem e
famous personalities in the Lon-
don of their day.
When young Ireland wrote his
"Confessions," he said, "It k
extraordinary to observe him
willingly person; will blind
themselves on any point inter-
esting to their own feelings"
Ireland may have been a
phony, but he spoke the truth
here, for only one or two per-
sons had ever said publicly that
they doubted the authenticity of
the "genuine works of William
Shakespeare."

The campaign began in 1958. It was so successful that

Att HEALTII HORIZONS
Arthritis Meets Its Match In New Drug
e Before long arthritis may relinquish its title as the nation's num-
ber one crippler.
We may never learn the cause of this mysterious and terrible disease
that victimizes several hundred thousand Canadians of whom more
than half are women. The disease in various forms strikes indi-
viduals of all ages. 4
We may never discover a cure
for it, but the conquest of ar-
thritis is corning about through
its control by medication,
Just as insulin has given new
life to those stricken with dia-
betes — formerly a fatal disease
-- scientists are now certain a
drug will be found that will al-
leviate the pain and suffering of
arthritis and that will let a per-
son live comfortably.
Long strides in this direction
have already been made. Salicy-
lates, as in aspirin, have again
, become the mainstay of arthritis
therapy, but aspirin causes gas-
, tr•ic distress and may result in
gastric ulcers and even serious
gastric bleeding.
A new form of salicylate,
without these side effects, was
therefore necessary and a new
drug, Arthropan, was intro-
duced last Spring to overcome
this problem, This sweet tasting,
cherry flavored liquid was de.
scribed as "the most potent sali-
cylate found so far for the rapid
relief of pain in various types of
arthritis.'
The tests with the new drug
were carried out at medical in-
stitutions by groups of special-
ists in the field of arthritis and
related disorders.
.11 In the entire group of patients
treated with Arthropan the doe•
tors reported that
• this drug was fa superioif
to any other salicylate,
• it was absorbed 0 tiles tat
er than aspirin and reached
its peak blood level 12 times
faster than aspirin,
• it was well tolerated with n0
side reactions,
• it was most consistent in the
relief of stiffness and joint
pain, which allowed'signt•
ficant increase in comfort'
able physical activity,' t
• it could be used by patients
with active peptic ulcers.
It is far too soon to call Ar•
thropan the long sought drug
that will control arthritis. But
dramatic reports todate which
cover groups of patients on the
drug continuously for so long
as 6 months, point out that the
drug has more advantages than
the combination of steroids and
ordinary salicylates (aspirin) 3

Fear that hog prices will dip sharply
after the government's new defieency
payment program goes into effect Jan-
uary 11 may induce heavy marketings
between now and then, officials of the
Livestock Division, Canada Depart-
ment of Agriculture said.
But, they pointed out, should prices
drop after the change in price support
policy, the producer is still protected.
The new deficiency payment will make
up the differnce between the national
average in 1960 and the support level.
A federal spokesman sad orderly
marketing ot'hogs was in the ptadu-
cer's own interest,
Overloading the market would mean
delayed slaughter, delayed settlement,
and unnecessary shrinkage. It would
likely create an over -supply of under-
weight hogs, which yield a product not
wanted by the trade. Lightweight hogs
are subject to a discount of at least
$3,50 per cwt. below the price paid for
Grade A's.
Even if the price does fall when the
deficiency payment scheme goes into
effect, the average farmer will still
gain by selling his hogs at market
weight in that he will (1) get a better
price from the packer, (2) get a gov-
ernment
oyernnrent premium on A and B grades,
and (3) be eligible for the deficiency
payment on A and 13 grade hogs,
, The Agricultural Stabilization Board
will discontinue purchasing hogs Sat-
urday, January 9.
Officials stress the importance of
registration for all producers wishing
to participate in anz possible deficiency
payment.
DEER REPORT SHOWS BEST ONT.
HUNTING IN WESTERN REGION
The best deer hunting in the Province
is still to be found in the Western Reg-
ion close to the 'Manitoba boundary,
the Ontario Department of Lands and
Forests reports in its review of the
1959 deer season,
In this area there has been a substan'
tial increase in deer since 1955-56. Tho
results of the checks in the hunts are
not yet complete and the only figures
so far available are for 247 hunters in-
terviewed in the Kenora District, They
had a success rate of 55 percent, These
data are too restricted to give a good
indication of the success of the hunt
for the whole Western Region, the re-
port points out,
Surveying the provincial picture, the
Department reports:
"It will be remembered that almost
the whole of the deer range lying east
of Lake Superior experienced a severe
winter in 1958-59. A poorer season was
anticipated as a result of this. While
most Districts showed an overall de-
',,,tst 4fr" cline in hunter's success over 1956 it
is clear that there were some areas

which produced well while others were
in fact poor,
Most of the Districts reported fewer
yearlings in the kill than in 1958.
When a detailed analysis of the data
collected has been completed it is ;•..ely
that it will be found that this 4ecline
is confined to certain lrc l areas.
Most Districts repot; gel an average
fawn crop. This mny be accounted for
by the fact that the late spring when
it came was gc_d with no late frosts
and bad weather,
The Saul: Ste. Marie District stood
apart frcnr the rest of the province in
that it had one of the worst deer sea-
sons le years. This was not entirely
.unexpectede since last winter was one
of the hardest recorded in over 70
years. This field staff put great effort
into manning three checking stations
at Sault Ste. Marie, Thessalon and Iron
Bridge. The success rate was vary low
and it apparently took an average of
32 man -days to kill each deer. This
is almost double the effort recorded in
previous years, Some of the 4,454 hunt-
ers that were contacted probably pass-
ed through the checking stations more
than once so that the 4 percent hunt-
ers' success recorded is probably too
low. The age composition of the kill
for this district suggests reasons for
the very poor hunt, The three and
one-half year old class was the most
abundant in the kill, The fawn crop
was only 19 percent of the total kill
while yearlings comprised only 19 per
cent of the adult deer taken instead of
a healthy 40 percent. Only 2 percent
of the kill were six and one-half years
of age or older.
In the Sudbury District (mainland)
the weather interferred with the hunt.
Snow and freezeup came early and
discouraged some hunters who gave up
without spending any time in the bush.
Deer tended to concentrate early on
their wintering range and camps lo-
cated in such areas did well. 1,116
hunters were checked with a hunter
success of 24 percent and it took on
the average 14.4 man -days to bag a
deer. For the total of adult deer aged
so far only 19 percent were yearlings.
Many jaws collected on field checks
have not yet been examined. There
is no reason to believe that the 1959
fawn crop was affected by the previous
winter.
An intensive study of the deer heed
on. Manitoulin Island was started in
1959 and an effort Is being made to
estimate the total kill of deer for the
Island. A total of 3,950 hunters from
areas outside Manitoulin went there to
hunt deer, they killed 1,043 deer taking
an average of 14.5 man -days to kill
each one. hunters' success was 26
percent, this is down from the 34 per
cent recorded in 1958, Figures aro not
yet' complete for the age composition
of the kill but there is mason to Ir-
lieve that there was an overage faw.r
crop on the Island.
In North Bay District the weather
also discouraged bunters and because

At The Standard Office
of the early freeze-up many camps
closed ,up at the end of the first week
of the season, Hunter's success in or-
ganized camps dropped from 34 per
cent in 1958 to 28 percent in 1959. 1,014
hunters were interviewed at a checking
. station operated at Cooks Mills.
The Kemptvillo District lay outside
the area affected by last winter's sev-
ere snow conditions and it is apparent
that hunters' success was as good as
it was in 1958 whch was, an excellent
season, -Actual figures will not be
available until reports from organized
hunt camps are all received,
Over 600 deer were aged by the field
staff and an unusual number of old
deer turned up in the kill,
In the Huron District a total of seven
counties were open to deer hunting this
fall, The( six day season in Bruce and
Grey counties produced a success rate
of 24 percent among the 1,070 hunters
checked. This is a little over 1 per
cent better than 1958. In the counties
of Ifur-on, Wellington, Brant and Ox-
ford 2,172 hunters were checked. They
had killed 288 deer for a 13 percent
success rate. Hunting pressure through
out those parts ,of this District open
was relatively light and no reports of

Neckties Should Be
Seen, Not Worn
A maker at neckties, appealing
to the present Christmas trade,
Is marking his product with a
helpful tag that tells you the
color scheme. You turn the tie
over, and a little tag says,
"Wear with brown suit." So, I
think it is time to draw the
line. If the necktie code has been
carried to such length, a rebel
voice is needed.
I happened to have a thirteen -
volume encyclopedia published
by Carey and Lee in Philadel-
' phia in 1830, They tell ole it
would fetch a pretty penny, as it
is in excellent condition, but
I plan to keep it because it is
fun to read. As to neckties, it
pleases rile much, for I find
my own sentiments under "cra-
vat," It runs: "CRAVAT, an un-
healthy, uncomfortable, unbe-
coming article of European and
American dress. The ancients
were unacquainted with this
ridiculous and injurious style
of bundling up the neck. Etc."
In spite of this, 1 happen to
have a necktie. Country living
is not too demanding, so when-
ever 1 wear it, 1 wear it with
my suit. If the color scheme is
askew, that's too bad, If I found
"Wear with brown suit" on my
necktie, I would be in trouble,
for my suit is black. Thus it is.
When I see the present youth
riding happily to school, their
garb relaxed and indifferent, 1
notice the necktie • has fallen
from fashion. In my day we al-
ways wore one. If you forgot to
put one on, the girls would
dance around you at recess
chiming, "Johnnie forgot his
necktie!"
Those were the days of the
detachable shirt collar - you'd
get at least two days from one

shirt - and if you left 01 your
necktie there would be your big
brass collar button sticking out
in front, shining in the morning
sun and lighting you all the
way to school. The girls seem-
ed to think this was funny.
There were no sports shirts then,
and a collar open at the neck
was "gormy•"
I was good at tying my tie,
My program was to get up, dress
loosely, and get into overalls
for the barn chores. After chores
I'd clean up at the kitchen sink,
have breakfast, and then tie
my tie just before walking to
school. 1 had mastered this last
duty so 1 didn't need a mirror,
and this impressed Mr. Moulton,
Mr. Moulton was an older neigh-
bor who walked up every morn-
ing for a quart of milk, and he
was all thumbs on neckties.
This was before the dairy
business became a legal techni-
cality, and it was allowable to
fill Mr. Moulton's tin container
directly from the milk pail,. He
used to leave five cents on the
sink shelf every morning to pay
for this service. Then he'd sit on
:i kitchen chair and wait for me
to tie my tie. He'd waggle his
head and express amazement.
He couldn't even tie one look-
ing in a glass, and usually had
to have Abbie do it. But here
1 was, not even looking! For
some eight years Mr. Moulton
watched me tie my tie every
schoolday morning.
1 never had so many ties that
1 needed advice as to when and
how to wear them. Keeping a
subdued one for Sundays, 1
would wear the other one until
it had accumulated a sheen and
patina, and a disciplined reflex
so it almost tied itself. It would
get washed once in a while -
but I think 1 can make the point
that wearing a tie vas much
more important than what it
looked like while you wore it.
1 don't think I've ever bought
a tie in nay life. I made one.
once. I knit it from grain -brig
strings, and Mother threw it in
with some rug rags so it name
out dyed a walnut brown This
was pure whimsy. There was a
"gag" running around then, to
wit: "Do you make your own
ties?" I suppose the rock-and-
roll era has some similar devas-
tating remark. It seemed to me
a wonderful answer to this wise-
crack would be a plain, "Yes,
I do." So I made one, and the
next time they asked me, I
said yes,
1 never made but the one,
and all the other ties I've owned
were given me. On gift days
I'd get a couple or so, and my
recollection is that nobody ever
expended the slightest thought
as to colors. A generous aunt
would fix me up with a gay
foulard in bright yellow squares,
set upon a green field with al-
ternate maroon dots, and f'd
wear it with a Swedish -stitch
pullover sweater in cinnam"n
and bright red It made quite a
noise, but by the standards of
the time 1 was dressed.
There was a virtue in this, all
the same. Fais-ce-que-to-veux
was not predicated on wanton
abandon, but carried the tra-
ditional requirement that a
well -ordered Piti?"n \voted not
materially err. We were sup•
posed to go to school looking
as if some basis of proper hu-
man relationships were involv-
ed. The tie. itself, was merely
a symbol of inculcated propriety
On that basis, I think I'm
willing to approve neckties Put
1 think it's a curious wav to
make a point I keep my tie
in the bureau drawer, and my
suit on a hanger in the closcl.
and I wear them as seldom as
i possibly can - yet I'm per•
fectly willing to admit the neck-
tie was important in my grow-
ing up, and helped lead me into
paths of thought which have
proved useful. The objection I
have is to this categorical ,on-
formity, new to me, that you
ought to pay attention to the
color. 1 believe a man can be e
gentleman. If he wants to, on
one tie and one suit. -By John

Monitor.

It was a tnuinentous a;cast:11.
There, on what we used to call
"the field over the creek" the
ribbon -cutting ceremony tock
place. A nunnbet of officials took
part, chief among them the Hon-
ourable F. 111. Cass, Minister of
Highways. As I listened to Iits
address 1 was particularly gra-
tified to hear him pay tribute te.
the early history of the distmt
Aftcr the opening I was �ibte to
obtain a piece a: the while rib-
bon that had been stretched
across the highway, Thi:: I later
cut into three pieces as scuveto
irs for oto' family.
As rny son and 1 seed on the
elevates roadway I looked
around and reviewed the history
of the old farm.
Back in 1822 a canny Scot by
the mune of ?1acNabb had settled
on this property, known thc,0
only as Lot 2, Concesion ;1,
Township of If quesing, Here he
built his log cabin and commenc-
ed his settling duties. A few
years later a sleeting of the
pioneer fathers was called --
their meeting place was along
the wooded trail of what is now
Ifighway 25. As a result of the
meeting it was decided to build
a rough log school house on the
Macnahb property - the first
tc be built in what is known as
the "Scotch Block District".
it was Bonn(' years later br•
lore pioneer (?tIcNahb applied
for the Crown decd and about
that same time he built a frame
house close to the road. it shel-
tered his growing family until
1854 when the present house wns
built. It is a wonderful old
house, built of hand-pres',ed
brick 00 a solid stone founda-
tion with two massive fireplaces,
one complete with chane, hig
enough for burning the- huge
pine roots that were left as the
land was gradually cleared of
timber. The nails used in the
construction were square, hand•
cut nails, a number of which we
saved as curiosities. The farm
has changed hands only three
tinges - from MacNabbs to a
man named Inglis who, after
four years, sold out to us - thnit
was in 1923. At that time there
was no hydro or plumbing and
a furnace that was unsafe to
use. And the main road - that
the Second Line, was some-
thing to avoids Here Partner
somehow wrested a living item
the soil; built up the land and
fences, increased the acreage of
cultivated land from 70 to 95
acres, ploughing up what was
Me of the root-rideled bush.
Somehow we weathered the de-
pression of the 'Thirties Then
came World War 2. Our son en-
listed and our daughter left
home to work in a munitior. tare
tory. We got along as best ;we
could with the help of a fifteen-
sear-old
ifteen•year-old "home" boy. Prices for
farm produce improved. What we
made went back on the farm
We put in hydro, a new furry
ace and a water -pressure sys-
tem. We gravelled the lane, drill -
cd a new well and put in new
stabling, 1Ve had our share of
family sickness and stock losses
but rye still couldn't imagine a
better life than farming and we
looked forward quite contented-
ly to living the rest of our lives
on the old homestead. But, as
the years passed rumours spread
01 a new highway ; rossing the
township. Engineers were fre-
quently seen in the fields.
Eventually we were approached
by the Department of Highways
with an offer to purchase the
property. We were not particu-
larly' elated. After 35 -years our
roots went deep. f3ut there were
other points to consider. The
years had taken their toll; ,' e
were past hard work and
neither of our children was in-
terested in farming. So we sold,
lock, stock and barrel. But the
old farm is still dear to our
hearts so you can understand
that as we stood on familiar
ground during the opening cere-
monies my son and I cast many
Wintry Gales
Pinpo'nt Courage
Every winter savage North
Atlantic storms breed their new
contingent of Captains Coura-
geous - and this year has been
no exception.
Take the skipper of the
world's biggest ship - Cunard
Commodore George Morris, cap-
tain of the mighty Queen Eliza-
beth (83,673 tons). He brought
his fanged express liner through
cruel seas and gales that smash-
ed portholes on an upper deck
and made her 37 hours late at
Southampton,
Although the elements had
kept him on the bridge almost
constantly, Commodore Morris
turned his tremendous vessel
around in the fast time of 251/z
hours and uncomplainingly put
back to sea.
For such men and ships, De-
cember's violent assaults are but
part of the business, year after
year.
Or take, as one of many, the
skipper o! one of the smallest.
He is a Finn and his name is
Capt. Johan Vurio, His ,ship's
name is Anna, and she is an an-
tiquated 63 and a tiny 1,045 tons.
At this writing, she lies
stranded on the bleak Scottish
coast of Aberdeenshire, battered
there by merciless waves. One
scarcely knows whether or not
to refer to Anna in the past
tense,
Anyhow, Anna was home to
Captain Vurio, He had 'com-
manded her for the last 24 years,
He owned shares in her. He
said unabashedly that he loved
her and -looked upon her as his
second wife. And so, when she
was holed on a reef and ran
ashore, he was reluctant to leave
her.
The rest of the crew of 11
got ashore safely near St. Combs
Head, but Captain Vurio for
two days ignored warnings and
appeals and remained with
Anna. He ,set up headquarters
in the old galley, with a coal fire
a,n d cheese sandwiches for
breakfast, lunch and supper
,writes Henry S. Hayward in the
Christian Science Monitor,
He rang the watch changes
on the ship's bell. IIe kept the
ship's log up to date. He ignored
the ceaseless battering of the
sea and sat with his Bible nn
his knees, praying.
Then, implored by his partner
to abandon Anna, he shaved, put
on a fur hat, and with tears
in his eyes, walked around his
wave -swept ship, saying goad•
by to familiar objects. He left
everything behind, even hl:
wife's 'picture in his cabin.
When his long, lonely vigil
wa:, over, he climbed into a
breeches buoy, After he reachad
the shore, wet but safe, this old
r) backward glance to the old
house in the background that
had been our home for so many
rears.
The full story of highway con.
struction cannot be told in con.
tracts and costs. At the back of
us an elderly lady could not
bear the thought of bulldozers
tearing up their Crown -land
property. She thought her father
would turn in his grave. Event•
wally she took a stroke and died,
In other cases where the De-
partment required only a few
acres it was a windfall to the
iwners, Similar instances moat
apply along every stretch 01 our
modern highways. While we wei
conte the convenience of good
roads, as we travel their smooth
surfaces, we might spare a
thought to the pioneers who
made our modern progress pose
Bible. Truly they (the pioneers)
built "far better than they
knew".
man of the sea could not bear
to look back at Anna. "I could
never love another ship as I
loved her," he said.
Such are the stubborn, heroic
tireless Captains Courageous of
today,

Airline Thief
Gets Bad Break
The crate being carted off to
the Air France baggage depot
was labeled "glassware" in
large red letters, "C'est fragile,"
explained Ange Fernel, the 24 -
year -old Frenchman to whom it
belonged. Inside, however, was
Ange's confederate, 31 -year-old,
Fernand Romani, fortified by a
loaf of bread, cheese, some sau-
sage, and a bottle of cognac. As
baggagemen for Air France,
Ange and Fernand had cooked
up a complex scheme ton corn -
mit the prefect crime—in mid-
air.
The plan, as police recon-
Btructed it last month, was this:
Ange would airship the crate
containing Fernand along with
two empty suitcases to Mar-
seilles on the salve flight that
carried a $60,000 shipment of
jewels bound for Algiers. Once
the plane was in flight, Fer-
nand would climb out of his
crate, pinch the jewels, and put
them into the empty suitcases.
Then he would climb back into
his hiding place and wait until
Ange, a passenger aboard the
Ante plane, retrieved both the
crate and the suitcases at the
Marseilles air terminal.
Fernand patiently waited in
the narrow b o x for almost
twelve hours before it was
loaded aboard the plane. But in
the air everything started going
wrong, Pepped up by the

again. Instead, he had to pocket
the jewels and make a break
for it when he landed in. Mar-
seilles.
Fernand got away — with
Ange hot on his trail, But when
police examined the empty
crate, they discovered that Ange
had labelled it with his own
name and address. There, peace
found some more baggage, a
girl named Andree. Her story
led them to a Turkish fence
in Marseilles, who had paid a
mere $200 "advance" for the
genas and still had them tucked
away in his store. The jewels
were safely returned — and
only the two ingenious baggage -
men, Ange and Fernand, were
still missing.
Is The Paddle
The Best Cure?
It is perfectly legal for a
schoolteacher in Stamford, Cont.,
to paddle an unruly youngster
— but "on the buttocks only."
Since this Board or Education
rule allowing teachers to use
corporal punishment went into
effect last April at Stamford's
twenty public schools, about 30
out of a kindergarten to high-
school population of 15,000 have
been disciplined by spanking,
with paddles of various sizes,
shapes, and thicknesses.
But should these paddles be of
uniform size? This bureaucratic
question was raised by parents
at a recent board meeting and in
true red -tape tradition, a facul-
ty committee was then appoint-
ed to draw up specifications,
"There is a real problem of
definitions," said Miss Helen
Tobin, acting superintendent of
schools, last month. "We think
that everyone should think this •
through."
Yet to Joseph Franchina,
husky, crew-cut principal of
Burdick Junior High, the pad-
dle -size issue was ridiculous."
"Use a paddle that fits the
needs," he said. Personally, he
wields a half -inch -thick plywood
job, 8 to 9 inches in diameter on
the business end, and manufac-
tured in the school shop.
"We've had some good reac-
tions from students," he noted.
Q. How can 1 slake the varnish
I am using flow better?
A. Varnish will. flow better and
dry faster if you warm it before
using, One good way is to keep
the. can or jar in a pan of hot
water while you are working.

Captured Jail
Single -Handed!
The authorities in several
American states felt considerably
relieved when Tom Slaughter,
the most notorious desperado in
the South-West, was arrested
near Sedan, Kansas, on October
20th, 1920. They could not know
then that Slaughter was soon to
build a reputation as America's
No, 1 prison -escape expert.
Slaughter was originally want-
ed for robbing a state bank, but
now there was a more serious
charge against him. In a brush
with police in Arkansas, he had
shot and killed a deputy sheriff,
Slaughter lost no time in
demonstrating his determination
to escape, When being led away
by his captors he wrenched him-
self free and drew a revolver,
but was disarmed before he had
time to use it.
Then, during his four-day trial,
it was discovered that one of the
window bars in his cell had been
almost sawn through. A search of
the cell revealed a collection of
saws, knives and razor -blades.
He was sentenced to life im-
prisonment In the Little Rock
penitentiary, and soon after his
transfer there another escape plot
was discovered and thwarted.
Slaughter then decided to
adopt a more subtle technique.
He promised to be a model prI-
soner and, as a demonstration of
his "change of heart," revealed
the details of another prisoner's
escape plan to the authorities,
At the beginning of 1921, there
was a• change in the administra-
tion of the penitentiary and the
"reformed" Slaughter was trans-
ferred to an open prison near-
by. It was a costly mistake.
For several months he played
the role of gentleman convict.
He gave no trouble, worked dili-
gently and gave every indication
of having knuckled down to pri-
son authority. Nothing could
have been farther from the
truth, The idea of escaping
dominated his mind.
In September, 1921, he staged
a desperate bid for freedom,
Somehow he obtained a revolver,
and shot and killed one "trusty"
guard and severely wounded two
others before he was recaptured,
Slaughter was tried for mur-
der and sentenced to death. He
was transferred to the death cell
in Little Rock penitentiary and
his execution date fixed for
December 15th.
For most criminals the story
would have ended there. But
Slaughter was no ordinary crook,
Calmly, he set about preparing
what was to be one of the most
audacious prison escapes of all
time.
Only a dine light gleamed In
STICKING TOGETHER — Jim Mackey's raccoon, Pepper,' is about
to gum things up, Playful Pepper Tikes 10 pierce Jim's bubble
occasionally,
the death cell on the evening of
December 8th, 1921, All was
silent except for the ringing foot-
steps of patrolling warders. At
9.20 p.m, Slaughter called to his
guard that he needed an extra
blanket because he did not feel
well.
The guard sent for a blanket
and accompanied by a colleague,
took it to the death cell. It was
too big to go between the bars,
so, while his colleague covered
him, the guard unlocked the cell
door.
He had barely opened it when
he heard Slaughter growl, "Drop
that gun or I'll kill you." The
guard looked down to see a black
automatic glinting in Slaughter's
fist.
The condemned man quickly
disarmed the guards and forced
them to walk ahead of him to
the stockade. There he relieved
the watchman of his pistol and
locked all three prison officers
in the cells. He then made for
the prison hospital where a wo-
man nurse was on duty. She
was ushered out of the ward
and forced to act as a shield for
Slaughter as he made his way
through the penitentiary.
In this way he systematically
disarmed and imprisoned every
guard he encountered, On his
fantastic tour of the prison,
Slaughter collected six convicts
who chose to join him in the
.break-out,
Marching in single file behind
the nurse, the sinister procession
made its way to the quarters of
Warden E. H. Dempsey, The
warden, his wife and their three
children, were herded from their
beds and locked in the condemn-
ed cell,
Before incarcerating the war-
den, Slaughter compelled hint to
give the outer guard the signal
to open the prison gates, He then
disarmed the astonished gate
sentinel and marched hint to the
death cell, too.
Slaughter and his six con-
federates were now the only
free men in the entire peniten-
tiary!
Completely composed through-
out the. whole operation, the con-
demned bandit was in no hurry
to leave the jail. For five hours
he ruled the prison enclosure and
during this time he revealed an-
other rarely -witnessed facet of
his strange character.
He took a pot of coffee to the
death cell and distributed drinks
to the warden and his family.
Next Slaughter and his fellow
convicts made for the prison
store.
He and the others took their
time selecting outfits of civilian
clothes and changing from their
prison garb. It was not until
2.30 a,m, that the seven made
their getaway in Warden Demp-
sey's car and headed south.
As soon as he heard them drive
away, Dempsey shouted to some
convicts above him to cut a hole
in the ceiling. Then he climbed
through and rushed to the office.
The telephone wires had been
cut, so a guard was dispatched
to the nearest telephone to alert
the police.
Five of the men . with Slaugh-
ter were Negroes, all but one
under death sentence. The sixth
man was Jack C. Howard, who
had been serving a three-year
term for forgery.
On the evening of December.
9th the gang abandoned their es-
cape car and made for some
woods. They lit a fire and settled
down for the night.
Slaughter had just dozed off
when he heard Howard call him.
Before he was properly awake
three bullets smashed into his
body from Howard's gun.
Slaughter died instantly, a vic-
tim'of a cowardly attack from a
man he had freed.
Howard later claimed that he
and two of the Negroes had hal•
ched a plot to kill Slaughter
Soon after lent•''t'j the peeiten-
liary Wells and 'Taylor had dis•
armed the other three Negroes
as they slept, then Howard had
fired the fatal shots.
The Negroes not in the plot
fled but were recaptured by a
police party. Howard, Taylor and
Wells collected all the guns to-
gether and went to a near -by
farmhouse to surrender.
On the following day Slaugh-
ter's body was brought out of
the wood, He had been shot twice
in the head and once in the
back, So great had been the pub-
lic curiosity arounsed that the po-
lice placed the body on a wagon
and hundreds of sightseers were
allowed to file past it.
Apart from the puzzle of how
the gun and ammunition has been
smuggled in to Slaughter while
he was in the death cell, one
more intriguing mystery remains.
Some weeks before his escape
Slaughter had arranged to meet
an insurance agent to tell him
where he had hidden the loot
from his many bank hold-ups.
,The appointment was made for
December 13th, two days before
Slaughter was due to hang.
But Slaughter's secret died
with him, Somewhere in Arkan-
sas, buried in a motor tire, he
had hidden $600,000 worth of
securities. So far as is known, it
has never been found.
Duck Hunting
Code Of Safety
Recommended by the Inquest
jury, investigating the accidental
shooting in the recent Ander-
son-Curtice incident, for distrl-
bution to all hunting licence ap-
plicants.
1, CHOOSE A CAPTAIN
Duck hunters should decide
who will be leader or captain
of the shoot when hunting in
pairs or larger numbers, This
should be done before entering
the blind or hide. The most
experienced hunter should be
chosen and if they are hunters
of equal skill, the position
should be alternated from day
to day.
2. SIT CLOSE
Hunters in a blind or hide
should sit close enough to-
gether when shooting in pairs
so as to prevent either hunter
front getting in front of the
other hunter's gun muzzle.
3. RESTRICT YOUR FIELD
The field of fire for each hunt-
er in a blind or hide should
be agreed upon before shoot-
ing, The hunter's field of fire
should not overlap his partners
by more than a 45° angle meas-
ured from a centre line right-
angled to the front or rear of
the blind.
4, REST GUNS SAFELY
A gun should never be left in
a position where the movement
of a boat or a dog might cause
it to fall down and discharge.
5, NEVEM FACE EACH OTHER
Gun muzzles should be pointed
away from other hunters at all
times.
6, SHOOT YOUR OWN BIRDS
When hunting in pairs and a
flight of ducks approaches
from the right, the hunter on
the right should take the rear
of the flock and the hunter on
the left should take the head.
When the flight approaches
from the left, this procedure
should be reversed.
Barnum Out Faked
The Real Faker
The Cardiff Giant, supposedly
either a statue of great antiquity
or the fossilized remains of an
authentic giant who walked the
earth of New York State in an-
cient times, provided great ex-
citement and amusement for
many years from the middle of
the last century until close to
the present time.
George Hull was the origina-
tor of the hoax. After hearing
a revivalist preacher speak
about the giants that once trod
the earth, he obtained, near
Chicago, a 8 -ton block of gyps-
um, a hard type of stone and
had a sculptor make him "a
naked giant," He had the statue
crated and shipped East.
Then he buried in on land
owned by a cousin, outside the
village of Cardiff south of Syra-
cuse, New York, Some time later,
his cousin dug it up and an-
nounced his great discovery.
P. T. Barnum, the great show-
man, heard about the attraction,
as did the entire country, and
when the original faker, who
was getting by with only a few
persons expressing doubt that
this was a fossil of a giant, re-
fused to sell, Barnum had a fake
of his own made by a sculptor
and -exhibited it in his museum
in New York,
This is tit: only known ex-
aniple of two fakes being accept-
ed simultaneously. A real fake
and a fake fake,
Q. llow can I remove beer
atahls from washable garments?
A. 'These can usually be re-
moved by the usual laundering
methods. A cloth dipped into
soapy water will work on wash-
ables. If the stains are old, add a
little ammonia to the wash water
