Censorship Is
On The Increase
The people's right to know
what goes on in their govern-
ments, guaranteed in a demo-
cracy, fared poorly in 1959. Sad
to relate, the free press was
muzzled in more parts of the
world than not, and millions of
people were told only what their
masters wished them to hear.
Even in the United States,
where press freedom burn;
brightly, there was a constant
battle against secrecy in govern-
ment. A congressional watchdog
committee on 'freedom of infer•
motion turned up hundreds rt
instances of closed records and
meetings among the 2,000 active
agencies, bureaus and depart-
ments of the federal establish.
ment.
But this was as nothing con? -
pared with the total blackout
that exists elsewhere. An Ass•E•
dated Press survey on the state
of the world free press presents
a sorry picture.
The iron curtain which blocks
off the Communist world mut-
Iles also the voice of truth with-
in. Though the Reds talked of
easing the old bans and seemed
to lilt them on occasion — to
during Vice President Nixon's
visit to Russia and Poland —
there was no net gain. The pie•
ture was still dominated by such
Instances as hte expulsion of a
New York Times correspondent
by Poland for "prohing too
deep."
The flow of information in So-
viet Russia was severely restrict •
cd. In Red China, deception and
distortion were the rule. In all
Communist countries the domes-
tic press was totally controlled,
Perhaps this was to be ex-
pected. More disturbing was the
vise of censorship in more demo-
cratic nations.
In Israel, reported the AP, the
domestic press is free but ma-
terial is censored by the mili-
tary with regard to security.
Turkey has strict laws and of-
fending editors are fined and
jailed. Correspondents in Iraq
find it impossible to file objec-
tive reports.
In Egypt and Syria, now to-
gether in the United Arab Re-
public, long established censor-
ship was tightened,
India has no direct press con-
trol but Pakistan has martial law
which keeps editors in line. The
press in Indonesia is tightly re-
stricted against criticism of gov-
ernment.
Africa's growing nationalism
resulted in press bans. Foreign
correspondents in several n e w
and would-be nations reported
threats of violence in retaliation
for truthful reporting.
In the Western Hemisphere,
Cuba, the Dominican Republic
end Paraguay furnish the hor-
rible examples of a controlled
press and in Cuba, says the AP,
there is "censorship by menace."
Only in the U.S., Britain, Ja-
pan, Western Europe, Scandina-
via and generally in Latin Amer-
ica is the press wholly free and
the people adequately informed.
This is not an encouraging pic-
ture but neither is it wholly
dark. Information and truth
have a way of infiltrating closed
borders. Sudden rendings of the
veil, as during the Nixon visit,
show a surprising knowledge of
the free world has trickled
through.
Censorship never w h o 11 y
achieves its aims, as even the
most oppressive government
must come to realize. Though
1959 was not a good year for
press freedom, 1960 may be bet-
ter. We hope so, for understand-
ing in and between nations is the
only sure road to peace. -

Approaching spring brings
warmer weather, a menace to
skaters, A chapter of the Red
Cross suggests these rescue
methods if someone breaks
through the ice. Above, a stick
is extended to the foundering
pair, right. The first man is fol-
lowed out by his companion
who hangs onto his legs. Right
rescuer uses a hockey stick to
haul out the ice victim. If you
do fall through the ice, the Red
Cross recommends you lie
prone, kick vigorously and try
to roll onto solid ice rather than
climb out. Rescuers are cau-
tioned to stay as far from the
open water as possible.

One of the best reasons for

varieties of fish, while high in
nourishing protein, are low in
calories. However, it is wise to
keep in mind that cooking addi-

the final calorie count of a dish.
The following recipe makes a
delicious family style dish which
a weight watcher can enjoy, pro-

ing is one of the quickest and
easiest methods of fish cookery.
The following guide tells how to
broil fish steaks to perfection.
Choose the Steaks: For broil-
ing, select steaks which are as
to 1 inch thick. Steaks which are
thinner have a tendency to dry
out during the broiling process.
Prepare f o r Action: Preheat
the broiler. Season steaks on
both sides with salt and pepper,
place on a greased rack in broil-
er pan and baste with melted
butter or other fat.
Into the Oven: For broiling
have the surface of the fish
about 3 inches from the source
of heat, Frozen steaks are 'fre-
quently thawed before they are
broiled, however, they can be
broiled from the frozen state.
Place them 6 to 8 inches from
the source of heat to prevent
the surface from becoming over-
cooked before the center of the
steaks is thawed.
Now Broil: Time of broiling
will depend on the thickness of
the steaks and whether or not
they are frozen, As a general
rule, for fresh or thawed steaks
allow 10 minutes total broiling
time per inch of thickness, turn-
ing the steaks at half time and
basting with melted fat. Frozen
steaks will require about. double
the cooking time of fresh or
thawed steaks,
The Fish is Cooked: When the
juices are milky coloured, and
when the flesh has lost its wa-
tery look, is opaque to the centre
of the steaks and will separate
in flakes, the fish is cooked.
Call the Fancily: Remove
:;teaks to a heated platter, gar-
nish, and serve.
Plain broiled fish is delicious.
For added flavour interest try
one of the following broiled fish
steak recipes.

The Scotch people are great
'fanciers of herring. They have
bestowed on this humble little
fish the title of "king of the
fishes," and have toasted it in
popular song as "bonnie fish and
dainty fairin'. " On this side of
the Atlantic the herring has ro•
ceived fewer accolades than it
deserves, for it is a tasty, nour-
ishing, food fish, modestly pric-
ed, and available in a variety of
forms.
Canned herring; puked in
pound -oval and half -oval tins
is an especially thrifty buy, It
is canned "natural style" with
only salt added, and it is canned
in tomato sauce. The tomato
sauce product, combined with.
hard -cooked eggs, makes •- an
easily prepared, delicious casser-
ole dish -- as you will discover
if you try the following tested
recipe.

1 cup milk
1 can (13 or 14 ounces)

2 hard -cooked eggs, sliced
Melt butter. Combine 2 table-
spoons of butter with dry bread
crumbs and set aside to use later
as a topping. Make a whin
sauce by blending flour and salt
with remaining Luau', adding
milk gradually, nd cooking
gently with constant stirring un-
til smooth', and thickened, In a
greased 1 -quart casserole ar-
range alternate layers of herring

and white sauce. Top with but-
tered crumbs. Bake in a moder-
ate oven (350 degrees F.) for
about 20 minutes, or until the
contents of the casserole shute

Fifteen Miles Of
Wine -Tasting !
Wine from cellars fifteen miles
long now moistens the lips of
visitors to Budafok, a rich vine -
growing area, just outside Buda-
pest. These enormous vault,
yield 12,000,000 gallons of wine a
year, 0,800,000 gallons of which
is barrelled, the remainder be-
ing sold bottled.
Connoisseurs will revel in
their names: Tokay Aszu, Bala-
toni Furmint, Balatoni Riesling
and Bull's Blood of Eger.
Tokay, perhaps the best known
of Hungary dessert wines, is ma-
tured in comparatively small
barrels, each of about forty-four
gallons capacity, But they are
never more than three-quarter,
full.
On the wine's surface, a head
or "floc" sprouts, This peculiar
top helps to provoke the royal
Tokay flavour.
The walls, too, play a part in.
this fermenting process. They
are draped with a black velvety
fungus, rich in penicillin, and.
spores of these natural wall cur-
tains get into the wine and im-
prove its quality,
Equally precious is the Bull's
Blood of Eger, This dry red wine
has a romtantic /background.
Back in 1509, when Turkish
forces burst into Hungary, the
garrison of the little town of
Eger kept them at bay against
overwhelming odds.
The defenders, says legend,
had superhuman powers, which
sprang from their reserves of
local red wine. Drinking this,.
they fought like mad bulls, much
1. o o ferociously for Turkish
tastes.

With Bread Crumbs
And Patience
It's difficult, often, to explain
to unversed realists what a
whimsical spirit can do, and per-
haps I'd be better off if I didn't
bring this up. I jt4t mean there
are some people who don't coin.
• •prehend foolishness, so my wife
always looks at me funny when
I water the ducks, Be it known,
as I have testified before, that
my ducks have no utilitarian
standing and are not computed
in any way in any agronomy
tabulations. They core not chat-
tels, but friends, cultviated out
of an odd potion I have that
some things can be important
even it nobody knows it.
My ducks don't winter in the
barn, but have their own little
house by the pond, a little dis•
lance from the other buildings,
and I entice them therein each
fall about the time the ice be-
gins to feather at the edges.
Feeding them is easy — I dump
100 pounds of pellets into a big
hopper I've made and, as there
are but four ducks this winter
that will last a long time.
Watering them must be done
each day, and I love to do it
and wouldn't miss it for any-
thing. I draw a pail of water at
the sink, a little better than
lukewarm, and wade out
through the snow. Sometimes.
after a fresh storm, I put on
snow -shoes, Perhaps you don't
know just what this means —
there is a trick to walking on
snowshoes and carrying a pail
of water. R isn't something you
just go and do. It t0,tfas practice
and balance, and you aren't sure
every time if you'll make it
Sometimes I do,
I keep the duck house pur-
posely buried in sto'w'. The first
storm or two I lttg out a shovel
and bank it, and after winter
really gets nasty the eaves are
flush, This keeps It warm and
cozy inside, and my ducks win-
ter most well.
• The real reason 1 have the
ducks by themselves is because
they are ducks, Hens scratch in
litter, and if given a chance will
keep dry. Ducks, with their big
fiat feet, just pack litter down,
and they make such free use of
water that their house would
soon be a skating rink if you
didn't plan. I keep the water
pan at a low point by the door,
and then pack the straw in so
it slopes up and away. No mot -
ter how wet and icy it gets
around the pan, the ducks can
retreat uphill and keep their
tootsies warm, Of course, there's
no heat in the house except
what the ducks make, which
isn't much, but with snow pack-
ed all around they make out
fine.
All this is incidental to my
pleasure. My mallards, all sum -

mer, range free and easy, and
naturallike they get a little wild,
They are wild birds anyway, IN
few generations back, They get
very wild as soon as the little
ones comes, and the hens teach
them to be alert and distant, All
summer, if • anybody comes
around, the ducks stay on the
far side of the pond and took
skeptical, It is really quite a
job in the the fall to round them
up and get them under cover,
But, as soon as I have them in
the house they can be tamed,
and it's more tun than you think.
It takes some doing, but they
make wonderful pets, At first,
when I come to fill their pan,
they huddle in a corner and in-
sult inc and they won't come
out until I've closed the door.
But after a few days they get
coming to the pan while I'm
there, and after a few more
times they are there before me.
At this point I fish a crust of
bread from my pocket and
crumble it, and start my tann-
ing program, At first they stand
off and look; heads cocked, but
soon I have them picking up the
crumbs as fast as I crumble
them, and the next step is to
have them actually eating from
nay hand.
Then comes a part they don't
like, One day, while a bill Is
wiggling about on my palm, I
close my hand and have one
caught. This one flops wings and
kicks, and the others retreat,
scolding. The mallard is won-
derfully made, and his foliage
is interesting. I Ike to spread a
wing and look at it, rumple their
breasts, and make like patting a
palsy dog or rubbing a purring
cat's ears. Just friendly, like,
But once I've done this, the
whole flock goes into a period
of distrust, and I can't get them
back to my hand right away.
However, bread crumbs and
patience are overpowering, and
after a time I can close up on
any bird, fondle it, and have
thein right back crawling all
over me again, They run their
bills under my boot tops, inside
my jacket, and the rapport is
permanent.
Actually, the way this works,
it takes almost all winter. Soon
after I get them coming to my
hand, and not averse to being
manhandled, there'll be an egg
one morning; the snow will be
going; and it will shortly be
time to turn them loose for sum-
mer. Little ones will be hatched,
and the natural wildness will re-
turn, They won't have anything
to do with me until fall comes
and I herd them into the house
again,
So, what happens is, I take
my pail of water and disappear
Sometimes I'm gone an hour. I
bring the pail in and set it by
the sink, and she says, "Where've
you been?” I tell her I've been
watering my ducks,
A likely tale. I could have
watered the Gobi Desert in that
time, I try to explain that my
entente is at a crucial point, that
I am just about to close my hand
on the old drake himself — that
there's more to it than just tip- ,
ping water out of a bucket. But
it doesn't seem to come out just
the way it is.
This is a simple, basic, uncom-
plicated kind of thing that, very
likely, is nobody else's business.
It's sort of between me and my
ducks, apart from anything else.
I just like to do it. There may
be those, including my wife,
who think it takes ine a long
time to water four smallish
ducks, But I have no intention
however humanity at large as-
sesses illy pastime, of giving it
up. I don't see any point in keep-
ing ducks if you can't pick them
up by the bill, — 13y John Gould

More than 100 acres in south-
ern Ontario were treated with
an insecticide last fall, as two
levels of government combined
efforts to 'control the Japanese
beetle. Another 30 acres will be
covered next spring.
Upwards of 700 acres have
been treated since 1941.
is • •
This beetle has a rapacious
appetite and its meal ticket can
be any one of more than 200
plants ranging from flowers to
fruit to corn, with the grubs
causing extensive damage to
lawns when populations are
high,
L, L. Reed, who directs sur-
vey work for the Plant Pro-
tection Division, says that be-
cause of the Japanese beetle's
fondness for grapes and soft
fruits, it could take a costly toll
in the Niagara Peninsula unless
kept under control. Indications
are that it would not thrive in
other parts of eastern Canada.
• • •
This pest is presumed to have
entered the United States in
soil around the roots of Japan-
ese plants prior to the restric-
tions established by the United
States Plant Pest Act of 1912.
It was first discovered near
Philadelphia in 1916 and has
been spreading out in an ever
widening circle through natural
flight, A strict Federal quaran-
tine in the U.S., in effect for
many years has retarded more
extensive spread.
• • •
First soil treatments were
made at Niagara Falls, Ont , in
1941. Lead a -senate gave way
to DDT, which wRs replaced by
dieldrin. Ten per cent granular
dieldrin is spread by ordinary
hand grain seeders at the :rate
of 30 pounds to the acre, This
insecticide is considered cheap-
er, easier to apply, and equally
as effective as other insecticides.
Latest application involved
land at St. Catharines, Fort Erie,
Hamilton, Port Burwell and
Windsor. . •
Eevery year, trapping opera•
tions and soil treattnents are
carried qut with the co-opera-
tion of the Ontario Department
of Agriculture, lvIr. Reed ex-
plains. Last year about 2,700
traps were used to capture over
1,000 beetles. This was a sub-
stantial reduction over the 4,000
trapped in 1958.
Most significant redaction took
place at Fort Erie, where only
176 were caught compared with
3,300 the previous year. This,
Mr, Reed believes, was due to
the treatment of •30 acres of turf
in that town in 1056.

A total of 2,033 Canadian
sheep have been ordered
slaughtered during the past four
months under a national pro•
gram aimed at stamping out
scrapie, a disease of the central
nervous system of sheep
In Alberta, two infected flocks,
an?prlsing 417 sheep. had to be
destroyed, reports Dr K. F.
Wells, Veterinary Director Gen-
eral, while in Ontario, another
flock of 77 sheep was slaughter-
ed
Canada's scraple eradication
program, revised last August,
provides for the slaughter of
infected flocks and any animals
moved from infected flocks, to-
gether with their immediate
progeny.
In addition to the three in-
fected flocks dealt with, 1,539
sheep have been destroyed
either as animals which were
moved from the infected flocks
or as progeny of an anilnaI that
had been moved,
• • •
These sheep involve 178 flocks.
All of the flocks, which take in
about 40,000 sheep, are being
kept under surveillance for 42
months from the date on which
exposed sheep were removed
from the flocks,
• « •
First outbreak of scrapie in
Canada was confirmed in 1945
It is considered to have been
brought here with sheep impor-
tations from the United King-
dom, Such imports have been
embargoed since 1954.
The program now being ap-
plied for the control of scrapie
in Canada is equivalent to that
followed in the United States.
Petticoat Lane
Still Flourishes
Wags once said a man could
go in one end of London's Petti-
coat Lane and buy his own
watch back at the other.
That may, or may not, still be
true, but the market's traders
certainly have the reputation of
knowing a good bargain when
they see one, When a white mar-
ble Roman torso was dug up
there not so long ago, many a
Cockney voice called out: "Let
me 'ave it, I can find a buyer!"
Petticoat Lane, it seems, is as
old as London itself. The great,
sprawling market is made up of
Middlesex, Wentworth, a n d
Goulston Streets in the heart of
the East End. Each is filled with
countless stalls, displaying every
conceivable eominodity from
clothes and curios to cockles
and whelks,
Most of the traders in Petti-
coat Lane are long established
and known for giving good
value. Some cone to the market
in great, gleaming cars,. which
they park on one of the many
World War II blitzed sites.
Others push handcarts or carry
their wares on trays, writes
Steve Libby in the Christian
Science Monitor.
To a few who have had good
businesses — and bad breaks —
a pitch in the Lane is the last
stand, all that is left. One old
man is trying to sell second-
hand sheet music.
While many Petticoat Lane
traders shout their wares like
circus barkers, others rely on a
more modern — and intimate
— approach.
"Where do you come from,
luv?" one asks a plump, smil-
ing woman in the crowd around
his stall,
"Edinburgh," she replies.
"Luverly place, Edinburgh,"
he says, going on to talk about
the woman's hometown as
though business was a secondary
consideration. Then, picking up
a blue leather handbag from
the pile on his stall: "Couldn't
get this at the price in Edin-
burgh, could you?"
The deal is soon clinched.
Visitors to London who are "in
the know" go to Petticoat Lane
on a Sunday morning just as
they would to the market square
in some old French town or the
native bazaars of Cairo.
Doctors Figure It
Was A Nice Try?
For months, as Billy Smith,
a 25 -year-old laborer, lay in a
hospital bed, it seemed that sur-
geons had achieved a miracle.
In a foundry accident last July,
a swinging crane had all but
severed Smith's right leg.
Ordinarily, the doctors at
Eden Hospital in Castro Valley,
Calif,, would have amputated the
leg at once, But because of the
25 -year-old Smith's good physi-
cal condition, Drs. Stephen V.
Landreth, Alan J. Gathright, and
Keith W. West tried to sew the
mangled leg to the stump.
At first, the chance to save the
leg seemed promising, But six
weeks ago a deep infection de-
veloped in the injured bone and
in the knee joint, "which pre-
vented repair of the main nerve
to the leg." This month, the sur-
geons amputated Billy Smith's

God's Protecting Providence
Acts 23:6-11, 16-24
Memory Selection: God is our
refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble. Psalm
46:1.
God who has protected Paul
through many dangers, is still
with him while a prisoner of the
State. His appearance before the
sanhedrin was brief. While pro-
testing that he had lived in all
good conscience before God un-
til that day, the high priest com-
manded that he be smitten on
the mouth.' Paul's sharp rebuke,
and his later explanation for it,
have been viewed in different
ways. It has been suggested that
Ananias had taken the office
since Paul had last been asso-
ciated with the' Sanhedrin; that
Paul did not know who had giv-
en the order to smite him; and
that Paul made an honest mis-
take. Personally, 1 thins that
Paul had not sufficiently re-
flected that the words came front
the high priest and that he
should have been more deliber-
ate and Less vigorous in his re-
ply. At any rate, Paul's words
that, "God shall smite thee,
thou whited wall"; were both
penetratingly true and prophe-
tically suggestive. Isis apology
should serve as an apt model
for the Christian's spirit and de-
partment in similar circumstan-
ces. It has been suggested that
Paul apologized to the office, if
he did not to the man.
Paul has been criticized for
his strategy in dividing the
council. I see nothing unethical
about it. He had attempted to
give a straightforward, courte-
ous defense. But they were in
no humour to be fair. When
hatred develops over religion, it
is a hellish thing. Hatred in the
realm of politics or sport is
mild, compared with that which
parades in the cloak of religion.
However, Paul succeeded in do-
ing only half of the famous say-
ing, "Divide and conquer," As
the two groups quarrelled PauI
was rescued from their midst by
the soldiers, But pawl's enemie4
didn't give up. Their plan to kill
him and its failure through the
loyalty of Paul's nephew is an
interesting story. This is the
only place where we meet any
of Paul's relatives in the Bible.
God had His hand on Paul. He
used many different people and
means to protect him, He had a
work for him to do at Rome
and no plotting could hinder
God carrying out His purpose.
The bitter truth is that a
glance in the mirror will show
you exactly what the younger
generation is coming to,

Weekly Farm Report
(By J. Carl Hemingway)
At a meeting of O.E.A. fieldmen in
Toronto on February 25th ,AI'. AicA1uu'-
j c'hy, President Of the White Bean
Growers Association and Marketing
'Board gave a comprehensive report of
Ithe operations of this commodilt
group.
Their plan of operation really orig•
inaled with the government during the
war. At this time, in order to increase
the production of beans the Govern-
ment paid a 50c subsidy per bus. In
1943 -the Producers set up their mar-
keting plan and deducted a fee for the
operation of their organization plus a
further levy for the purpose of export
ing any surplus that might arise.
At present the total deduction is 85e
per hundred with 8c used to finance the
organization and 77c available to sub-
sidize exports. In years before 1951
dealers in beans often stopped buying
around the new year. This put pres-
sure on the Grower to rush his beans
out and often resulted in abnormally
low prices,
'1'o overcome this difficulty the board
set up 0 company which is operated
by the board and which would guaran-
tee to purchase beans at the minimum
price every clay of the year. While this
has been of real benefit to the Grower
it has placed the Board in the position
that the trade has been able to attract
a larger percentage of the best quality
'beans and leave the Board with the
problem of handling the lower quality
of crop. This has at times resulted in
a loss on this part of the Boards oper-
ation but the gains to the grower from
having an every day market and hav-
ing no surplus carried over from year
to year has far outweighed the loss. A
local dealer has called for an inveyti-
galion into the operations of the Board
but the Growers can be assured that
the hooks of their organization are
audited by Chartered Accountants and
subject to regular govenment inspec
tion and need have no concern for such
an investigation, Perhaps they in turn
should request 0 similar investigation
info the operations of the dealers.
Two things that the Board would like
to see is sale of beans by government
grade standards and proof of financial
stability of all dealers before licensing.
Producers seem to be getting an un-
usual amount of attention from those
outside their group. An investigation
into the operations of \\'bite Bean Mar-
keting Plan on request of a dealer, a
suggestion that the crow's nest pass
rates and freight subsidy on western
feed grains is bad for Ontario farmers
from the head of one of the large
millings companies and finally a defin-
ite attack on the Hog Producers organ-
ization by a government appointed civ-
il servant. Should we be flattered by
this attention or alarmed.
Fireside I+'arni Forum
On February 29th, 20 adults of the
Fireside Farm Forum met at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. George Boggart. The
topic was "Education, Is It a Job for
Farm Organizations,"
The Rural Co -Op and Federation of
Agriculture do much to educate the
people by sending out weekly and mon-
thly bulletins, The Farmers Union also
has its own paper. Raclio and TV are
given financial aid by Federation of
Agriculture, Farm Forums, Cream
Producer's and other organizations.
The 11ural Co -Operator is a fine paper
sent by the Unitas Co -Operatives of
Ontario, and the Market Place is a
monthly bulletin sent by the Ontario
IIog Producers. '1'lhe Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture assists financially
in providing bursaries and scholarships,
4.41 Clubs, Junior Farmers and Junior
Institutes, Junior judging and County
Seed Fairs, the McKillop Work Shop,
Focus on the Farm, Crop Competitions,
Farm Leadership courses in Guelph,
Safe Driving contests and Essays on
Co -Ops, these arc some of the facilities
for Education.
We believe our Farm Organizations
and Co -Ops are now spending all they
can afford to educate the people.
'I'V, Radio, Leadership courses and
Vocational training, are among too
most effective ways for farm organiza-
tions to help our community.

Daughter Of An
Early Stampeder
My father had wanted to name
the Klondike. The big stampede
was at its height in 1897, when
I was born, and he insisted on
calling me that for good luck.
But my mother said that Klon-
dike wasn't any name for a girl,
s0 my father gave in and short-
ened it to Klondy, For my mid-
dle name he chose Esmeralda,
the name of the gold claim in
South Dakom he was working
at the time. , , .
I was only two weeks old
when my father left us and went
off to the Klondike. I guess he'd
been planning it in his mind a
a long time, but he didn't tell
my mother until after I was
christened. They had been mar-
ried a year and a half when he
set out to joix the endless file of
prospectors over the Chilkoot
Trail, , .
It's hard to explain my father
today. I've tried to tell my
grandchildren about him — 1
have six of them living here
in Olympia, Washington — but
they can't understand a man
who would leave his wife and
baby daught, r and run off like
that, He must have been selfish
and shiftless, they say, but it
wasn't that. Dad was a stamn-
peder, and there were tens of
thousands like him in those
days. They would always leave
a sure thing to follow rumor.
It wasn't just the gold, be-
cause whin they found it they
staked it all to look for more.
Somewhere just over the next
motuktain there were nuggets as

big as boulders, waiting tor their
picks to uncover, and no hard-
ships could halt them,
"1 wanted the gold and I
sought it," Robert Service wrote,
"I scrabbled and mucked like a
slave." My dad was always quot-
ing Robert Service, the young
bank clerk in Dawson who used
to make up poems to entertain
the miners. I've always wonder-
ed whether he might have had
someone like Father in mind
when he penned the lines:
"There's gold, and it's haunt-
ing and haunting;
It's luring me on as of old;
But it isn't the gold that I'm
wanting
So much as just finding the
gold."
Dad wrote regularly over the
next four years. 1Iis letters were
always full of glittering promise,
He was going to strike it rich
any clay now, and come home.
He hit pay dirt in the Klondike,
but then he heard of a new
stampede, and his next letter
said he was joining the rush
down the Yukon River to the
big strike at Nome.
I was going on five when Dad
wrote, in the spring of 1902, that
he was pulling up stakes in
Nome and heading for the latest
discovery at Council, eighty
miles farther. Mother decided
then and there the time had
come to join him. Maybe she
thought she could help him save
some of that gold he was for-
ever digging out of one hole and
sinking in another. — From
"Daughter of the Gold Rush," by

Mr. Hoover Still
Gets The Shivers
Isn't it paying a sort of coni
pliment to the Communist Party
in America to assert that with
each loss of membership, the
party becomes more menacing
than ever? At its national con-
vention last December, reports
placed the hard-core member-
ship of the party at between
6,000 and 10,000 persons — as
contrasted with a membership of
64,000 in 1945. Surely this is an
indication that American Com-
munists have been a miserable
failure, and that even Mr.
Khrushchev's visit has failed to
pump new life into a slavishly
alien party. Yet a recent head-
line proclaimed: "I-Ioover Sees
Greater U.S. Red Peril."
This is a theme that J. Edgar
Hoover, the FBI director, has
reiterated many times: the
smaller the party, the greater
the menace.
In his testimony to the House
in 1958, the Associated Press re-
ported, Mr. Hoover advised that
"the scuttling of the Daily
Worker, far from being a sign
that the Communist Party in
American is collapsing, indicates
that it is firmly under control
of the Soviet Union." And now,
in 1960, Mr, Hoover warns the
Senate Internal Security Sub-
committee that, in the wake of
Mr. Khrushchev's visit, the
dwindling party is "more power-
ful, more unified, and even more
of a menace to our republic,"
To be sure, mere size does not
tell the whole story. Party
statistics do not include muddle-
headed fellow travelers, and in
some countries a handful of
Communists have indeed been
able to seize power. But in those
instances notably in Russia in
1917 — the whole social fabric
was disintegrating and the Com-
munists had a fertile field to
exploit, The United States has
never been more prosperous; the
dreary domestic Reds have
never been more discredited. It
would be refreshing if Mr.
Hoover for once were to hail the
reduction of Communist mem-
bership as proof of how a free
society, in Jefferson's words, can
successfully tolerate error "so
long as reason is free to combat
It." — Washington Post and
Times Herald,
COED ARRESTED AS WAYWARD MINOR — Dorothy Lebohner,
18, a freshman at Alfred University, and daughter of uni-
versity treasurer Edward K. Lebohner, of Alfred N.Y., and
Warren Sutton, 20, are shown in a New York police station
after they were picked up in a theatre. Dorothy was arrested
as a wayward minor for trying to elope with Sutton, a basket-
ball star. The pretty blonde told Sutton, who was not held,
"Listen, honey, I want you to go home and finish your educa-
tion so we can get married. I'm going to finish mine, and then

TOP MAN ON THE POLE — Husky Cherokee Indian artist Le-

The 50 -foot cedar log he's working on is 750 years old. Lelooska

first introduced metal tools.

eveadolin e P. C le►,t,1&,e
Ladies, do you have trouble
threading your sewing needles?
Do you dodge this way and that,
with the thread going anywhere
but through the eye of the
needle? When you are hemming
a seam and your needle acci•
dentally becomes unthreaded, do
you spend precious minutes try-
ing, with increasing frustration,
to thread it again? If your ans-
wer to all these questions is "yes"
then I have good news for you,
There is a new type of needle -
threader on the market that real-
ly works and it costs only
twenty-five cents. I say "really
works" because I have tried
others that were almost as much
trouble to use as threading a
needle. This one is a little plastic
stand with an upright slotted
post in which you place the
needle. Then you press a lever,
pull up the needle — and, presto,
it is threaded. No eye strain, no
time wasted, no nerves on edge.
Isn't that wonderful? I don't
think any particular store has
the agency for this handy little
gadget as the first one I saw
came from a little village hard-
ware shop. They didn't have any
more so I made inquiries from
, a down -town store and had two
;delivered the very next day. I
;have, every intention of buying
"more and giving them away. By
that means I am sure of having
a few grateful friends,
Of course even this small gad-
get isn't fool -proof. I found it
didn't work when I put the
needle in point downwards; or
pressed the needle too far into
the socket; or when I was over-
anxious to show how it worked.
But in everything you have to
allow for a margin of human
error — or should I say stupidi-
ty?
And now we come to good
news for farm folk. It is pre-
dicted that eggs are likely to be
80 cents a dozen by fall. Many
farmers have already refused
shipment of chicks because they
can't afford to raise them with
eggs so low in price, They are
just losing money paying out
more for feed than they get
back for the eggs they sell. So,
Mrs, Housewife, if you want
eggs for your family, better
prepare yourself for paying a
more reasonable price for them.
Farmers have to make a living
too, you know.
And this should interest dairy
farmers. It has been found that
milk makes better ice for skat-
ing than water! What next? I
had visions of an arena flooded
with milk and the freezing unit
ceasing to function. It might get
a little high — perhaps even turn
to cotta-, cheese. Anyway I
don't imagine milk -ice is likely
to improve the farmers' future
to any great extent.
And then there's that report
on what pecple look for now in
the houses they buy, Bigger bed-
rooms and bathrooms; bigger
ISSUE 10 — 1960
lots; better ventilation and lower
bedroom windows. Picture win-
dows no longer in great demand
— drapes cost too much to cover
them. (1 agree.) Kitchens were
not even mentioned.
Well, it is my opinion the per-
fect house will never be on the
market. How can it be when
people's needs are so contrary.
Anyway you just can't get
everything you want in one
packet. The thing to tlo is buy
the house that has the least num-
ber of disadvantages. Even at
that you have to live in a place
six months to a year before you
can make up your mind about
what you like and don't lilce,
You may think a house with a
one -floor plan is just exactly
what you need. Live in it for
awhile and you'll find it has its
drawbacks. A young mother
soon finds there are too many
rooms toddlers can get into un-
less doors are kept shut• In a one -
and -a -half story house a gate can
be placed at the foot of the
stairs, thus confining toddlers to
one floor. At Ginger Farm I used
to keep our children within
. bounds by having a small hook
and eye up high on most of the
doors. Afterwards they came in
handy for the grandchildren. We
brought the hooks along with us
when we moved. This morning
I used one to fasten the sliding
cupboard doors in the den. Last
Saturday we were looking after
Ross while his parents went
shopping. He found it was good
hunting in the cupboard I just
mentioned, It won't be next time.
As for high bedroom windows,
I wouldn't have them as a gift.
Imagine not being able to look
out of the window. Sick people
get great pleasure out of watch-
ing the birds, the wind in the
trees, and passers-by. When we
were house -hunting we turned
down several nice houses because
of high bedroom windows. We
also objected to small lots. So
you see what I mean• There are
more "ifs" and "buts" in buying
a house — or a farm — than you
realize. We decided that the most
important thing was locality. And
in that we guessed right each
time,
"Don't you think he's ignor-
ant?"
"Ignorant Why, I've never
met a man who knows less about
more things."

Is Handwriting
A Health Guide ?
Is good handwriting a sign of
good health? Doctors and gra-
phologists -- experts on hand-
writing — are beginning to bc•
lieve so, Some doctors can even
diagnose illnesses through hand-
writing.
It's the irr'egular'ities in hand-
writing that reveal most, so
watch how you cross your "1"
and how you form such letters
as "d," "f" and "h," say the
experts.
In writing most of the muscles
of the body are brought intim
use, although most people don't
realize it. Those of the neck,
shoulders, left a r m and (rand
keep on adapting themselves to
the various changes of position
made by the writer as he writes
with his right hand.

nerves and muscles are not kept
in the pink of condition," de-
clared one graphologist.
"His handwriting will, in this
case, lose the buoyancy which is
found inthat of a well-fed man."
A London professor once said
that penmanship was a health
baram ete',
"In my youth 1 was honoured
by the friendship of a great Vic-
torian woman whose handwrit-
ing week by week was a most
sensitive barometer to her phy-
sical and emotional condition,"
he revealed.
A psychiatrist said recently
that by studying a patient's writ-
ing he could cut his work on
the case by three months be-
cause the writing disclosed clues
to t h e patient's health, moods
and basic attitude to life.
Another student of how we
write points out that the person
who writes "with a large hand
is often ambitious and generous
but also Inas much pride and a
fondness for generalizing when
he converses,"
• People who make very thick
strokes are often very strong and
courageous, but they tend to be
gluttons, he adds.
Handwriting is often inherited,
according to other experts. R. II,
Chandler devoted much time
to the study and investigation of
likenesses which exist in the
writing of various members of
the same family.
So strong is this similarity in
some cases that if it is often
difficult for the expert to dis-
tinguish one member's hand
from another's.
Dick Whittington
And His Cat
Thousands of children . have
thrilled to the story of Dick
Whittington and his Cat, but
some may wonder why the fa-
mous
a-
mous man is alway pictured
with such an animal.
This cat has caused much dis-
cussion among historians. Some
say it originated through the
confusion of the French word
achat being translated into Eng-
lish as "a cat." Achat (purchase)
in the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries signified buying and
selling at a profit.
Then there is ,also the sug-
gestion that the word had some-
thing to do with "cat," a Nor-
wegian type of ship used for
carrying coal, Dick Whittington
is supposed to have owned such
a craft, plying between London
and Newcastle.
But here is more concrete evi-
dence. In the Mercers' Hall, at
one time, a portrait of Richard
was on view with a black and
white cat at his side. A later
sixteenth -century picture shows
him in full Mayoral regalia, pat-
ting or stroking a cat, In re-
sponse to public request, the cut
was substituted for a skull, ori-
ginally shown, so that the legend
_..if legend it is — must go back
a very long way.
Anothrr curious thin g. In
',Vhittington's will he requested
that Newgate Prison should be
rebuilt and one of several carved
figures, representing Liberty,
had a cat resting at its feet — a
definite reference to Sir Richard,
'wino is said to have made his
first step to his good fortune
by a cat." Coloured heraldic cats
also appeared on some plate,
owned by the Mercer;' Company,
in 1572.
One of the strongest pieces of
evidence conies from the home
of the Whittington family in
Gloucestershire. Centuries later,
during alterations to this house,
a stone was unearthed in a. eel -
Icy and on this stone was carved
a cat being carried in the arms
of a boy,
From dates mentioned it is
quite clear that the Lord May-
or's own family credited the ex-
istence of the cat.
Dick Whittington founded the
Church of St. Michael Paternas•
ter Royal, where he was buried
in 1423 at the age of sixty-
five, and in a glass case in Mill
church is a =minified cal• dis-
covered there some time ago,
only a few feet from Whitting -
ton's grave.

Dennis The Menace
In Hollywood
On the Hollywood set, a small
blond boy, age 7, dangled non-
chalantly from a prop oak tree
planted in a make-believe lawn
while his aunt tried to coax him
down. "Right this minute!" she
huffed. .
The boy held on. "All the
other kids climb trees," he pro-
tested.
The director, Charles Barton,
stepped in, "We're ready for 're-
hearsals," he said hopefully,
peering up. The boy remained
unimpressed. "All right, I-Ier-
man, cut it out," the director fin-
ally shouted.
Cowed, the boy gave in, inch-
ed himself to the ground, but
then began scooting in circles
around the lawn.
"You stop that, young man,"
ordered Barton.
The boy stopped it. "Gee, I
never get a chance to run
around," he said and, turning to
a scriptwriter, Peggy Chantler,
pleaded: "Why don't you write
a script where I run around?"
The byplay over, 49 -pound Jay
North, alias "Herman" (director
Barton's nickname for the boy),
alias CBS's "Dennis the Men-
ace," settled down and went to
work as star of the half-hour
filmed series that has proved
this season's TV sleeper. Based
on the }lank Ketcham comic
strip about a youngster fiendish-
ly skilled in rascality, Dennis
has captured the highest rating
of any new show this semester.
Much of the credit for this
remarkable showing must go to
young North, a California -born
towhead with a carefully con-
trived cowlick, who had previ-
ously toiled anonymously only
on a few commercials and TV
shows, but who now earns $600
a week (he gets 25 cents of it
as allowance), Each weekday at
8.30, Jay reports for duty at Co-
lumbia Studios whether he's
working or not. A third grader,
he must attend school on the lot
four hours a day, and his school-
marm actually holds a stop
watch on him to make sure he
meets his quota.
The day recently in which he
was wheedled out of the oak
tree was a pretty typical one
for Jay. He had fulfilled his
sichool requirements, had de -
%%red lunch (hamburger And a
chocolate milk shake), discussed
Dennis ("Dennis is a good boy,
it's his parents who always get
him into trouble"), what it felt
like to be a star ("What's a
star?"), and whether he would
rather not work ("I wouldn't be
working with my friends any
more if I weren't on TV").
Waiting for the afternoon
shooting to start, Jay kidded
around with cameraman Freulich
(Jay, in space helmet: "Put 'em
up, pardner." Freulich: "Look,
Jay, you're a spaceman, not a
Westerner." Jay: "Sure, I'm a
Westerner. I'm from W e s t.
Mars") and then skedaddled off
to bug the sound engineer.
His spirits soared when Jay's
Aunt Marie, who shepherds him
on the set (Jay's divorced mother
works), reminded him that scene
was corning up in which he
would eat an ice-cream cone.
"They'll have to give me a new
cone for every retake," chortled
Jay.
When the scene was ready to
start, the prop man handed Jay
the cone. It was filled with
mashed potatoes — a substitu-
tion made necessary by the hot
lights. Jay looked crestfallen.
However, Jay managed to get
thrnugh the scene and succeed-
ing ones without any display of
temperament, As a result, when
the day's shooting was over he
got his reward: Freulich let him
play with the camera. Jay
mounted the big Mitchell cam-
era, stuck his eye to the viewer
and called: "Action!" Obedient-
ly, Freulich and director Barton
moved onto the prop lawn, grim-
aced at each other and flailed
their arms foolishly.
It satisfied Jay. "OK," he said
from his perch. "Cut and print!"
The day's shooting was official-
ly over. From NEWSWEEK

Just Waiting For
Another Hitler?
Just fifteen years ago, Allied
troops were battering the rem-
nants of Hitler's Wehrrmacht
back after the savage Battle of
the Bulge. Last month, amid the
pine -covered mountains of Bava-
ria, some 65,000 American and
German troops fought on the
same side in "Exercise Winter -
shield," the first joint maneuvers
in which the new German Bun-
deswehr has taken full part.
The "aggressors" struck north
from the Regensburg area• Near
Grafenwohr, the "defenders"
counterattacked with simulated
nuclear weapons. The "aggres-
sors" were driven back and pin-
ned along the Danube and Alt-
muhl rivers, where they suffered
"heavy losses." -
The sub -zero weather provid-
ed the toughestreal enemy:
Three U.S. soldiers, three Ger-
man soldiers, and four German
civilians were killed in accidents,
nd 63 other persons were in-
jured.
But when the maneuvers were
finished the West German troops
could be pronounced "combat
ready," With seven divisions al-
ready under arms (including
Honest John artillery rockets
and Nike anti-aircraft missiles),
the Bundeswehr is already the
largest (230,000 men) and on
the way to becoming the best -
equipped European force in
NATO.
It was this impressive revival
of West German military
strength that put the rancorous
problem of Germany's future in
last month's headlines, The
Kremlin which all along has
feared German rearmament, in-
sisted again that the. German
problem be "solved" by a world-
wide recognition of satellite East
Germany. Nikita Khrushchev
once again threatened to 'liqui-
date . , West Berlin's eccupation
regime."
"Adenauer does not want it,"
he said. "But who is asking Ade-
nauer? We have fought the war
and lost millions of men,"
Adenauer's reply came in the
Bundestag. Maneuvering far
ahead of his allies the Old Man
boldly asserted that both halves
of Berlin belong to West Ger-
many (neither the U.S. nor Bri-
tain have gone as far as that),
and that anyone who wants to
negotiate about Germany's fu-
ture had better apply to Bonn,
As for East Germany, which last
week established a new National
Defense Council to prepare for
nuclear armament, Adenauer
scorned any thought of recog-
nizing a "Soviet colony." "All we
Germans want," he told the ap-
plauding Bundestag is "the right
to determine our own fate, a
right being given to every peo-
ple in Africa."

Midget Wrestlers
Make Big Dough
Irish Jackie, who from a dis-
tance looks no larger than a
Leprechaun, is one of the nation's
top earners in the sports world. ,
He stands only three feet, eleven
inches tall and tips the scales
at 89 pounds. Yet, following his
trade as a midget wrestler — a
specialized segment of the grunt
'n' groan trade that is now
sweeping the country in popu-
larity — he earns upwards of
$60,000 -a -year grappling with
other dwarfs all around the
world eleven months of the year.
Along with such other midgets
as Fuzzy Cupid, Tiny Tim, Mario
Valentino, Lord Littlebrook,
Cowboy Bradley, Little Beaver
and Sky Low Low, an 86 -pound-
er who reportedly can lift 460
pounds on his shoulders, Irish
Jackie barnstorms the country —
with at least one trip to Europe
annually, where midget wrest-
lers are tremendous drawing
cards.
Throughout America, there are
approximately three dozen
midget wrestlers in action. The
lowest paid of them earns not
less than $15,000 -a -year; the
highest paid — Irish Jackie,
$50,000 annually.
The fad for midget grapplers
had its start in Detroit, Michigan
back in 1950. Slow at first to
catch on elswhere, it's now popu-
lar in most major cities.
One of the reasons for the
comparative slow popularity of
midget wrestling was the fact
that many states refused to
grant them licenses,. New York
State, for instance, only granted
them permission last year. Now,
though, every state in the coun-
try approves them.
To cut travelling expenses the
midgets travel together by car.
Their driver is a beffy fellow
named Lou Klein. A one time
large-sized wrestler himself —
specializing in "The role of vil-
lain," Klein, for the most part,
works for midgets as a combina-
tion chauffeur, valet and fixer of
flats. The huge Cadillac he drives
comfortably seats eight midgets
and the driver.
Jack Britton who acts as man-
ager for two thirds of all midget
wrestlers is constantly on' the
lookout for new "Tiny Tims."
When he finds new recruits they
are sent to Detroit where they
spend six to nine months on
gymnastic work and instructions.
Then they're ready for the road.
Their matches seldom last
longer than a half hour, and in-
asmuch as they work only about
four times a week, they have
plenty of free time to themselves.
"Women chase us midgets all
over," reports Fuzzy Cupid.
"They think we're cute. What-
ever money I don't save, 1 spend
ori having a good time, suits and
shoes."
He owns 15 suits made by n
tailor in Montreal, as well as
assorted sports jackets — and 10
pairs of size 41�z shoes.
The awkward age for girls is
between teddy bears and wolves.

Pork's A Problem
In Poland
That age-old partnership be-
tween horse and ploughman is
now very seldom seen in the
Canadian countryside, Tractors
have largely ousted plough
horses because they do the Job
so much quicker.
But, in Poland, almost the re-
verse .trend is now apparent. In
the past year, the country's
horse population has increased
by 108,000, while pigs have
slumped by 742,000. The Pole
loves his pork, and, with a
birthrate three times as high as
ours. Poland's 27,500,000 people
are again grimly tightening their
belts.
Shocked by this situation the
Polish Prime Minister, Gomulka,
1' e c e n t 1 y complained bitterly:
"Horses in our country are be-
ginning to eat up the pigs."
To blame are Poland's pig-
headed peasant farmers, most of
whom stick to old-fashioned me-
thods. Few own more than five
acres of land, and even these
midget holdings are so grossly
sub -divided that a tractor put to
work on a single field, hat
scarcely room to turn round.
Last July the government de.
creed one meatless day a week,
But this austerity has proved an
inadequate stop -gap and a new
meat crisis is developing.
Some city authorities, lured by
Soviet - inspired industrial e x -
pansionist plans, banned pig -
keeping as a townsman's hobby.
They are kicking themselves

In 1957, Polish non -farmers
reared 640,000 pigs. Today the
total is only 367,000.

Out Like A Lion?
If the old weather proverb "If March
comes in like a lamb, it will go out like
a lion" holds true, we can expect some
;'cry bad weather aroun-1 the end of
the month. The first two days of ,
March can certainly he termed "like a
ltunh" as the area has been bathed in
un: hire for most of the daylight hours.
'l he ray i of the sun are gaining In
strength each day and the puddles on'
the Main Street indicate the shrinking
of snow banks.
We certainly hope the proverb will)
be proven untrue, as we are already
experiencing that fatal disease that
only fine weather can cure "golfers
itch."

Do you ever feel you are going to
break a blood vessel trying to change a
wheel? The Ontario Safety League of -1
fers this suggestion to anyone lifting
heavy weights or undergoing other
Ecvcre exertion .... open your mouth!
If the air passages are kept shut dur-
ing physical exertion, pressure from
the trapped air imposes strain on the I
internal organs, and can lead to rup-I:
lure.

Night driving is four times as deadly,
The Ontario Safety League reminds ;
motorists that although only one-third '
of driving is done in the dark, two-
thirds of the fatal accidents occur in
this period,
