affection for you both, who through
the years have shared our joys and'
sorrows and who, in the true sense of
the word, have been real friends.
Your understanding, sincerity, gener-
osity and constant help will never be
forgotten. Although in reality, you will
never be leaving Blyth, we wish you to
accept this gift as a small token of
our friendship. May you enjoy God's
richest blessings in the years that lie
ahead.
Very sincerely,
Your friends"—(23 signatures).

WIN SECOND AT BOWLING
TOURNAMENT
1Yho Laid The Egg?
The sixty-four thousand dollar ques-
tion ;wound the hen house of Mrs. Al-
vin Snell's lately is, "who laid the
eggs," and we don't blank the victim
if she is keeping quiet allout it.
Mrs, Snell went to gather the eggs
the other day when she was quite
astonished to find two eggs. Now per-
haps yeti are wondering what is so
astonishing about finding two eggs in
a hen house? Well, the largest one
measured just one inch in length, and
the smallest one just seven -eighths of
1 an inch. They are now on display in I
the Standard Office.
it has not been defined whether the,
eggs were laid by just one hen, or it
ithe old biddy had a partner. And if
it was one, whether she is starting to
lay smaller eggs or larger ones, per-,
haps the next few days will tell the
tal. ti
With all the diffe•emt contests going
on in our country today, it is to be
hoped that the Snell hens have not ;
started one of their own. "to see who
can lay the smallest egg."
In the past few years the Standard
has told of many different shapes and
sizes of eggs, and we are hoping that
we can be the first to tell, in reality,
about the hen that laid the "golden
ogg". — Keep trying girls.

A Lesson Learned
In Blueberry Time
The vibrant blueberry is now
bursting from the pod, and the
white tablecloth trembles in
despair. This, also, is a good
time of year, and he who comes
home to a blueberry pie is hap-
py among men and is glad.
The most interesting conse-
quence of the present season is
the decision by the blueberry
people to engage in special pro-
motion, and to attract attention
to their product so it will gain
in public esteem and become
popular. Just what modern soci-
ety had done to draw away from
the blueberry as a self -promoted
vegetable should give us pause,
and we should be greatly alarm-
ed if it turns out the creature
has slacked off in esteem so the
industry is unstable,
Indeed, there is something un-
fortunate in the news that there
is a blueberry industry well
enough organized to attempt
such hired thumping of the tub.
The blueberry was undoubtedly
designed without a monopoly in
mind, and should never travel
the same commercial highway as
the banana, pineapple, bunch
carrot, and the subsidized potato.
But, alas. The blueberry that
bloomed free and unpossessed is
now pretty generally posted,
and cannot be picked with im-
punity and a lard pail. People.
whose back pastures ran to-
ward public domain in blue-
berry time now have little signs
up, and they dicker over "stump-
age." A man will come by and
make you an offer, then gather
the berries with a crew he
brings in a truck. The old-fash-
ioned kind who think they can
whistle for the dog and strike
out at random to gather enough
for a pie find the dreary aspects
of crass commercialism have en-
tered the picture. Blueberries
are money.
When I was rather small,
blueberries taught me a lesson,
hut 1 never knew just what to
do with it, I had taken my ,lard
pail — in those days everybody
had a two -pound lard pail to
pick in, and it was his very
own property — and I had gone
down by the ice pond to glean,
About the time 1 had found a
patch and settled to work on
it, a large and sharply delineat-
ed scream arose from a clump
of bushes nearby, and a woman
came leaping forth in every
guise of distress, She was hit-
ting the ground about every
thirty 'feel, She paused near mc.
and explained.
1t turned out that she had
been calmly gathering blueber-
ries in a 14 -quart milk pail, and
had something like 13 quarts of
blueberries in it when she mov-
ed over another foot or two and
dislocated a prosperous nest of
yellow -jacket hornets. Yellow -
jacket hornets, to give ' them
their due, are excellent judges
of blueberry ground, and wher-
ever you find a nest, you will
find very fine blueberries which
frequently last out the season
and dry up on the vines and
waste their fragrance on the
desert air. There is something
about a nest of yellow -jackets
\',hich discourages close picking,
'!'his woman, upon making this
interesting discovery, had ga-
thered herself into a departure
and conte forth. The pail of blue-
berries was sitting on the
ground right beside the hornet's
nest, and when she pointed 1
could see it shining in the puck-
erbush. Comments evolved, and
one thing led to another, and
this woman at last agreed to
divide the pail of berries with
me if I would go in and re-
trieve them.
In after years 1 have won-
dered, myself, about my evalua-
tions of the gentlemanly cus-
toms at that time. I have, now
and then, been thrust by chance
into certain situations where I
;night aid and abet the fairer
sex without making any bar-
gains about it, doing kindly
things just for the good feeling
it gave me, and to enhance my
reputation as a great boon to
humanity. But I suppose I was
young, and hadn't properly
equated the amenities.
There is also the possibility
that hornets are a special factor
it1 negotiations, It is true that
circumstances alter cases, and
of all the circumstances a me-
thodical mind can assemble to
insure full consideration I guess
a hornet's nest is pretty good,
Anyway, this woman and I
made a bargain, and I was to
get hall the blueberries if 1
would bring out the whole of
thein,
I thereupon walked over,
picked up the milk pail, and
brought it forth, doing so with-
out involving the hornets in any
way, and arriving back at our
bargaining ground intact and
unspoiled. The woman seemed
disappointed, She acted as if 1
had abused her in some way,
and had not fulfilled the obliga-
tions of contract, It had been too
easy, Therefore, she announced
that the bargain was off, and
there would be no dividing of
the spoils.
1 remonstrated, citing the
sanctity of open covenants open -
!y arrived at, and suggested she
was not playing fair, With what
I have since learned is feminine
logic, she reversed this decision,
and pointed out that I was the
one resorting to subterfuge and
chicanery, since I had no hornet
trouble. If I had been stung a
few times, she pointed out, it
would be different.
While her logic prompted
thought, there was one loophole
in it. She had not yet regained
possession, and it was I who still
held the bail of the bucket,
"Very well," I said, And I car-
ried the pail back into the
bushes and set it beside the hor-
net's nest, and passed by on the
other side and went to picking
blueberries with neither cask
n o r care. Afterwards I went
home and mother made a blue-
berry cake a yard square, and
I ate it with gusto and butter,
and sat back happily to reflect
on affairs and their causes, and
I don't know to this day if the
woman ever got her blueberries
of not.
As my public service for this
fine afternoon in blueberry time,
I wish to append herewith my
mother's recipe, which should
delight the nations and slake
this a better world:

Are You Taking
Too Many Pills?
To chronic vitamin -pill munch-
ers, the American Medical Asso-
ciation last month issued a warn-
ing: Don't munch too many.
There is a widespread belief, said
The Journal of the AMA, that to
keep healthy, people must con-
sume multivitamin pills. "On the
contrary," The Journal pointed
out, "only in a deficiency state or
in an anticipated deficiency state
are vitamin supplements neces-
sary." An overdose of vitamins,
added The Journal, can cause
loss of appetite, irritability, Akin
eruptions, liver enlargement, and
gastrointestinal symptoms.
Underwater Fight
With A Crocodile
A sixty -year-old aboriginal,
Samuel Poochemunka, wits cruis-
ing off the coast of Cape York,
Queensland, in a dug -out canoe
with his daughter-in-law, Beu-
lah. and her ten -month-old baby,
when the girl suddenly scream-
ed with terror as huge claws
and teeth gripped her body from
behind.
Looking round, Samuel saw
tht,t a large crocodile had crept
up and struck at her. through an
out -rigger, The next moment
both mother and baby were
snatched overboard.
Without hesitation, Samuel
dived headlong into the swirling
Nater. Ile knew instinctively
what to do. Feeling for the
crocodile's body, he got an iron
grip on its twisting tail, moved
gradually on until he reached its
head. Then he plunged his
thumbs into its eyes—something
no croc can endure.
The monster writhed, let go of
the girl—still clutching her
baby—and dived, Quickly Sam-
uel swam back to the canoe,
dragging the mother and child
with him. When they reached
the shore, first-aid was render-
ed at a nearby mission. Then
the woman was flown to Cairns
Hospital in an ambulance 'plane.
Amazingly, both she and the
baby recovered, Samuel was
awarded the Royal hlumane So-
ciety's silver medal for his heroic
rescue.
Coralie and Leslie Rees in
"Coasts of Cape York", say that
when they visited Beulah, she
showed the wide scars of claw
and teeth marks on her arms
and back.
One man, hunting across a
river, shot two wallabies. Pad-
dling back in his frail skin -bark
canoe a trot swam out to him,
doubtless smelling the carcasses'
blood.
Alarmed, he increased speed.
But when the croc carne on and
nosed round the canoe he de-
cided to throw a wallaby over-
board, hoping that would satisfy
the creature.
It rapidly disposed of the wal-
laby, then made foTt' the canoe
again. In desperation, the man
threw the second one overboard,
But still the croc Wasn't satis-
fied, It began snapping and
tearing at the end of the canoe:
He saw only a grim death
ahead if he stayed with the wa-
terlogged skin -bark, so leaped,
overboard, hoping the monster
woud pause to lick up any con-
gealed blood while he swam
away. Luckily, some of his
friends saw his plight and drag-
ged him ashore before the croc
attacked again.
Rees says that when out walk-
ing he always bore in mind the
advice: "Never turn your back
on a river, for a crocodile may
creep up and swish its tail
round you."
But there were graver perils
than trots. They were told of

set up a ane -man reign of terror

a 284 -page edition of the Offi-

week was no busier than usual.
And, as usual, there were about
two new patent applications for
every patent issued. Some 2,000
new ideas, from every part of
the U.S. poured in during the

useful, workable, and "beyond
what would be obvious to a per-

minimum qualifications for a

an invention also be saleable;
as one official puts it, "our files

Safflower, grown for thou-
sands of years in the Orient has
almost suddenly become a farm
crop in the United States, mo-
derately profitable for its grow-
ers and showing great promise
for expansion. Commercial pro-
duction of safflower did not
start in this country until after
World War II, and in its 'first
year's total acreage was not over
1,500. By 1958, however, plant-
ings were up to 125,000 acres;
they doubled in 1959 and in 1960
have risen to approximately
300,000.
Rising demand for safflower
oil in the paint and varnish in-
dustry, plus a substantial export
market, may well push 1961
acreage to the vicinity of half
a million. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture will be-
gin to collect detailed statistics.
The public will exclaim: "Saf-
flower? What's that? Never
heard of it,"

It's a thistlelike annual plant
known to botanists as Cartha-
mus tinctorius. The seed, where-
in its only value lies, is white
and about the size of a barley
kernel. Oil content is about 38
per cent; all but 3, per cent re-
coverable by standard crushing
processes.
That golden -hued oil is a
wholesome and nutritious food
for people and is a popular cook-
ing 'fat in the Old World. In the
United States it is prized mainly
as a component of varnishes and
enamels that takes a high gloss
and don't discolour with age.

ed in Egypt, China, and North
Africa. In the Middle Ages
Europeans grew it for the sake
of Carthamine, an unstable pig-
ment extracted from its flower
buds. With the arrival of ani-
line dyes, carthamine ceased to
be an article of commerce.
Spanish and Portuguese immi-
grants brought safflower to the
United States a century or so
ago, but it attracted no notice
until a'rter World War I when a
systematic search was begun for
new crops adapted to the Mid-
west,
It was one of 70 plant species
tested by the chemurgic depart-
ment of the Nebraska Agricul-
tural Experiment Station. Pos-
sibilities were perceived that led
to an intensive breeding pro-
gram which vastly improved on
the varieties previously known.
Indeed, a majority of the vari-
eties now grown are designated
by a number preceded by the
initial N - for Nebraska.
Among the Nebraska origina-
tors of new safflower strains
wC.s an earnest young agrono-
mist named Carl E. Clanssen, to-
day a leading figure in the na-
tion's fast-growing safflower in-
dustry.
Paint manufacturers tested
safflower oil, found it to be even
more than the Nebraska chem-
ists claimed, On the strength of
their interest, at least five large
corporations tried to establish
safflower as a standard crop.
Vol. several reasons, they did
not meet with too ouch Success.
Both farmers and agronomists
had a great deal to learn about
safflower culture, and there was
no established market.
i k
Out in California, an enthusi-
ast named B. T. Rocca refused
to be discouraged. He saw a
future for safflower in the
United States, and for several
years he plowed into safflower
promotion much of the profit
he earned as an importer and
exporter of vegetable oils, Cali-
fornia farmers were offered
planting seat, and an assured
market at a plant set up in
Richmond by Pacific Oilseeds,
Inc.. subsidiary of Mr, Rocca's
Paci:ie Vegetable Oil Corpora-
tion writes Ernest Douglas in
the Christian Science Monitor.
De. Classen was lured away
from Nebraska as president of.
.Pacific Oilseeds, as well as saf-
flower breeder and general ad-
viser to growers. A young giant
named Joseph R. Smith was in-
stalled as secretary and mana-
ger. Safflower was on its way,
and as early as 1950 was recog-
nized as an established cash
crop in the Sacramento Valley,
where it is often rotated with
rice.
Activities of Pacific Oilseeds
were not confined to California,
however. The firm joined with
General Mills to build a crush-
ing plant in Sidney, Neb., and
to persuade northern Great
Plains farmers to grow se/flow-
er. Last year another mill went
into operation at Culbertson,
Mont., wholly owned by Pacific
Oilseeds.
California has about half this
year's 300,000 acres. Arizona has
3,000, accompanied by visions of
a dozen times this much in 1961.
The rest is divided between Ne-
braska, Colorado, Wyoming, and
Montana, with a little in North
Dakota and Oklahoma.
Although Pacific Oilseeds and
General Mills have contracted
for most of the harvest, they
have no monopoly. Practically
all of Arizona's acreage is under
contract to Calcana Safflower
Products, Inc., offshoot of a
large Canadian company with
headquarters at Medicine Ilat.
r.. 4. 4,
Safflower can be grown in any
locality that enjoys 125 to 130
frost -free days in a year. It is
planted in spring, threshed in
the fall, everywhere except in
irrigated southern California
and Arizona, where December
seeding and June harvest are
the rule. The farmer uses the
same equipment as 'for barley
or wheat, and his cost is little
if any higher than with grain.
In the Midwest, 1,000 pounds
an acre are a good yield, Nor-
thern California averages 1,500.
Under irrigation Ir. Arizona,
3,000 and 4,000 are not uncom-
mon. This year's contract prices
are $75 a. ton delivered at the
crushers, $74 at designated ware-
houses in the producing areas.
Immunity to most of the ha-
;ards that afflict other crops is
a main reason why farmers are
showing such enthusiasm for
safflower. They are also attract-
ed by a stable market, and the
prospect that surplus produc-
tion is unlikely for a number of
years,

Isaiah'; %'inion of the Future
Isaiah 11; 1-9
Memory Selection: Ile shall
judge among the nations, and
Shall rebuke many people; and
they shall beat their swords into
ploughshares, and their spears
into pruning hooks; nation shall
not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any
marc. Isaiah 2:4.
Isaiah wrote more of the com-
ing Messiah and His kingdom
than did any other of the pro-
phets. In our lesson Messiah is
identified as a descendant of
Jesse. Some will say, "Was it
not just a sign of Isaiah's loyalty
and confidence in the royal line
of David that he looked forward
for a leader who would give
them a better day?" But Isaiah
looks for one who is far above
the ordinary. "He shall net
judge after the sight of his eyes,
neither reprove after the hear-
ing u: his cars; but with righte-
ousness shall he judge the poor."
This 'rod of Jesse' will bring
peace, Those who have received
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savi-
our do experience this peace.
But in the world about us there
are wars and rumours of wars.
As I write some of our friends
have received their posting to
the Congo. We believe that the
United Nations has served well
in restraining many of these
local conflicts. But Isaiah's vis
sion is still unfulfilled. In USA
20% of the federal budget goes
for de:ense. When Jesus Christ
shall slay the wicked with the
breath of His mouth and reign
without a rival no money will be
spent for armaments, "neither
shall they learn war any more."
The mass of people around the
world long for the day of peace.
Most people are sick and tired
of war. A few greedy heartless
folk may welcome war that they
may add to their wealth but
most people would prefer a mo-
dest living, made in peaceful
i.ursuits.
Jesus Christ is the answer for
our needs today. Let us as indi-
viduals submit our wills to Him
and hasten the coning of His
kingdom,
A lean is liable to lose control
of the car if he applies the brake
on a curve, says the Ontario
Safety League. And is almost
certain to, if he lets his wife and
son learn to drive.

BIGGER, BETTER HIGHWAY SIGNS - Here's good news for the befuddled motorist who
mentally grapples with all kinds of information as he bolts down the highway. Bigger high-
way signs are in the works to guide today's higher speed traffic. These signs of the auto age
are spread out before James C. McCoy, left, and Joseph Nava at the state highway depart-
ment in Cleveland. These signs - only a sample of the 250 types in bins - are used in Ohio.
Similar ones are used in other states,

By far the greatest number
now in Cornwall have been
drawn right down to the Land's
End peninsula; to be more pre -
to that area known as Pen -
with, which comprises the coast-
line from Marazion and Penzance
round via Newlyn, Mousehole,
Lamorna, Porthcurno, Sennen,
St. Just, Zennor, and back to St.
Ives, and including the inland
arca of lonely moors, cairns and
crags and boulder -strewn hill-
sides such as Trencrom.
This is indeed a beautiful
landscape for the artist... There
is a sense of grim, unrelenting
battle about this Land's End
coastline. Even on a hot, cloud-
less, June day the sea never
give.; the impression of being
quite at peace. The waves lap-
ping around the salt -flecked
rocks, splashing the seagulls and
cormorants as they sunbathe,
have an angry, irritable flicker
to them. The rocks and cliffs
themselves carry the same sense
of inward, seething strength. --

Is idleness Making
You A Neurotic?
Dawdling beside a back -yard
swimming pool or puttering
around a barbecue pit might
seem an idyllic way to spend a
long, leisurely weekend, but as
Dr. Alexander Martin, a New
York psychiatrist, diagnoses it,
too much leisure can lead to
"Sunday neurosis,"
This ailment, he told the World
Federation for Mental Health at
its annual meeting in Edinburgh,
Scotland, last month, is really a
severe case of the blues, caused
by "an inner compulsion to
work. People who have such a
compulsion, the psychiatrist said,
develop guilt feelings when they
are idle — and now, with more
people spending more leisure
time than ever before, and with
pressure mounting for a four-day
work week, the problem is be-
coming acute.
"In America and Britain" Dr.
Martin said, "there are thous-
ands of people who have two and
even three jobs because they are
apparently not able or ready to
use their free time." For such
people, he went on, idleness can
lead to severe depression and
even suicide. "More thought," he
admonished, "should be given to
the greater number of suicides
which occur during weekends,
holidays, and vacations."
Dr, Martin scoffed at the no-
tion that people will eventually
learn to handle free time by
themselves, Psychiatry, he said,
must find a way to give them a
helping hand. Otherwise, he
warned, in the automated life of
the future, with its promise of
great leisure, human beings may
become "sterile robots, alienated
from life and from themselves,
living vicariously and so deaden-
ed that they compulsively seek
overstimulation from the ex-
treme, the lurid, the bizarre:, and
the macabre."

Gwen.d,oli,r/e P. C l&t,1,e
I have been annoyed any
number of times by having my
calls responded to by "telephone
answering service." There is
something so impersonal about
it and it often takes several
hours to get through to the par-
son you're really calling, But
now I have conte to the conclu-
sion that it has its points. I
could do with it myself just
now!
For the last five days Partner
has been in the hospital for
minor surgery. Naturally there
have been plenty of telephone
calls. Necessary ones I welcome
but unnecessary ones drive me
frantic. Offers to clean carpels,
magazine subscriptions, Christ-
mas cards and so on. You just
have to answer the phone — it
might be important.
Partner's operation was sche-
duled for noon on Friday so he
went to hospital on Thursday.
Next morning no breakfast. The
time hung heavy so he phoned
nue twice during the morning.
Then one of the doctors called,
told me they would be operating
about two o'clock and to stay
home and he would call me. I
waited and waited, afraid to
leave the house for a minute in
case the telephone should ring.
At five o'clock I called the floor
supervisor. Yes, Mr. Clarke was
back in hi3 room and was com-
ing along nicely. I still had to
wait for the doctor's call, vhich
I didn't get until nearly seven.
He had a confinement case in
the same hospital at the same
time and couldn't leave. By
seven o'clock I was clown to
the hospital but Partner was too
drowsy and uncomfortable to
talk. Since then he has been
improving steadily and should
be home in a few days.
As for me I hadn't been sleep-
ing too well — which is under-
standable — so I took a sleep-
ing pill Saturday night (doc-
tor's prescription) and was still
dead to the world at eight -thirty
Sunday morning when the tele-
phone rang, It was Partner. Of
course he had had his break-
fast and wondered why I look su
long to answer the phone. After
that I got myself a quick break-
fast and then took a bath. Had
hardly got into it when the
telephone rang again. This time
it was a neighbour. I explained
i was dripping wet and draped
in a bath towel, Would she call
again. There were otl>,er rings,
some ipiportant, some trivial,
which have led me to the con-
clusion that busy people can be
caved a lot of time by making
use of telephone answering ser-
vice.
It seems strange around here
without Partner but I have been
so busy I haven't had time to
be lonesome. One neighbour said
— "Do you mind being alone —
are you nervous?" Nervous! I
went to bed one night and for-
got to lock the doors. That's how
nervous I am. No, I am not
afraid of being alone. 1 am more
afraid of the little things that
can go wrong — and often do
The kitchen sink got slightly
plugged and I had to deal with
that. If Partner had been there
he would have disconnected the
goose -neck and cleaned it. I for-
got to wafer the garden for two
nights and the plants got badly
wilted. The gladioli needed slak-
ing. Before I got around to it
enc cs: them was leaning over
saying its prayers. Saturday
morning I went shopping yet
Sunday morning found use with-
out butter, A minor detail, of
course, I made out very nicely
with margarine which I keep in
the house for cooking.
Art was here Friday night, Ile
naturally wanted a last minute
report on Partner to take to Dee
zit the cottage. She had to be
reassured else she nigh have
come flying home. Which would
have been quite unnecesary, Bob
and family were here Sunday.
And so it goes.
And the weather. We are fin-
ally getting a taste of summer
heat and humidity, but very
little rain. We don't appreciate
the change but then at Exhibi-
tion time it is nearly always hot
and sticky. Anyway the heat
has brought my late -planted
gladioli into bloom. Just a dozen
bulbs I bought from a church
sale, certified and in mixed
colours. It is interesting to watch
then come into bloom not know-
ing what they will be. There is
an ordinary pink, mauve and a
yellow. There is also one just
coming out that is almost black
— a reddish -black. Another is
orange with black spots. Never
seen one like it before, And
nearly every bulb has produced
two bloom stalks. I didn't know
that was possible. But then
there is a lot I don't know about
glads -- but I do love them.
Must grow more next year, Yes-
terday there was a humming-
bird flitting froth one 'flower to
another — the smallest I've ever
een. Grayish -_ not blue and
green like we used to see on

Those Soap Operas
On The Way Out
"A soap opera is a kind of
sandwich," James Thurber once
wrote. "Between thick slices of
advertising, spread twelve min-
utes of dialogue, add predica-
ment, villainy, and female suf-
fering in equal measure, throw in
a dash of nobility, sprinkle with
tears, season with organ music,
cover with a rich announcer
sauce, and serve five times a
w e."
Inekan abrupt action recently,
CBS radio — the only radio net-
work still harboring the weep-
ers — decided the sandwich was
no longer quite palatable. As a
preliminary move, which will
require the OK cit its affiliatcs,
CBS indicated it would like to
overhaul its daytime schedule
and replace all its soap sagas
next year with news and per-
sonality shows. •
Among the seven sudsers that
could be affected were such
lachrymose antiques as the 28 -
year -old "Ma Perkins," the 20 -
year -old "Young Dr. Malone,"
and the 19 -year-old "The Second
Mrs, Burton." It was understood
that as a part of the overhauling
CBS would also call for the
jettisoning of "Amos 'n' Andy
Music Hall," a lineal descendant
of the famous comedy show
which started hack in 1928.
Although the soaps once at-
tracted as many as 20 million
listeners a week- (during one
period, NBC carried sixteen,
CBS thirteen), they have fallen
on lean days as radio has swung
toward a hard format of music
and news. Even on TV, there
are only eleven, and last week
one of these — NBC's "From
These Roots" — was saved front
the graveyard only at the last
minute when the network got
thousands cd protesting letters.
All told, almost 60 actors niay
lost their jobs if the serials die,
among them soap -opera pioneer
Ethel Owen. A blond veteran of
more than 50 soaps over the past
33 years, she now plays the dom-
ineering Mrs, Burton in "The
Second Mrs. Burton." "I came
in with the soap operas, and
r now it looks as if I may go out
with 'them," she sighed last
week. "Music and news are fine,
but they are just the sante thing
all day long. The soaps are dif-
ferent — there's always some-
thing new going on."

ring being set up over the front

frsternhy occupying the stage.
For the next thirty-eight years,

Boxers from all parts of the

youngsters get their chance to

talent in Britain, writes Gilbert
Odd in "Tit -Bits."

The record "nobbins" is held

Alan Peacock, from l{ull, who
put on such a tremendous bat-

lighted members tossed no less
than £90 into the ring • at the
finish.
When the Duke of Edinburgh
attended one of the club's tour-
neys last, May,
our^neyo]uuiMay, he was greatly in-
trigued with the way the mem-
bers responded to the efforts ot
the bocom. On that occasion two
middleweights shared over £40.
Prince Philip was eager to know
how the amount was d\vi6ed.
He was assured that the money
is handed to the Board of Con-

equally and hands each fighter
his share without deduction of

Hailstones —Bigger
Than Golf Balls
` Hailstones officially described
as bigger than cherries fell in
Surrey during « sudden freak
storm the other day. A record
or Britain? No, say meteorolo-
gists.
aioom\o'&iotu
They have photographs of
hailstones more than six inches
in circumference which fell at
Richmond, Yorboh|re, sixy'
seven years ago,
Pictures taken reveal that the
outer coating was of a white;
opaque substance.
The next coating was of clear
ice and this was followed by
xlteroute coatings of opaque and
clear ice. Some of these amaz-
ing hailstones had as many as
nine distinct coatings.
Big hailstones are usually ir-
regular and jagged in shape,
which increases their menace.
The biggest stones fall in the
hottest weather but for some
mysterious reason big hailstones
rarely fall in the London area.
The largest London stones have
been no larger than filbert nuts.
Try to guess how much da-
mage hail causes, on an average,
ever year throughout the
n/orld. The figure is *150.000/000
which is mainly damage to
crops,. especially vinoyurdn, and
to glasshouses.
In the south c6 Austria there
are sometimes hailstones as big
as golf balls that rip the foliage
from trees, kill poultry and stun
peasants working in the fields.
Hailstones sometimes kill. peo-
ple. The most fatal Indian hail-
storm, of which there's an au-
thentic record, burst over Mora-
dabad in 1888 when 250 lives
were lost during an ice cannon-
ade which pounded many of the
victims to death.
Big hailstorms do astonishing
things. Hailstones riddled the
lops of thousands ot cars |uDal-
las, Texas. In the foothills of
Cathkin Peak, yJuixl, recognized
assembling place for storks mi-
grating to Europe after winter-
ing
inteping in South Africa, officials in
1931 noticed a greawhite patch
up the mountainside.
They climbed up to satisfy
their curiosity and found thou-
sands of storks lying dead, piled
on top of one another with shat-
tered wings and legs over an
area of three-quarters of �
square mile. They had been
xluix by a violent hailstorm.
Overhead clouds of other storks
still circled, mourning their dead
comrades. ----'—

Hypnotism As An
Aid To Surgery
The patient is deep in anesthe-
tized sleep, apparently Wdivioux
of the auq6cd team tying off
the final sutures after surgery.
Sitting beside him, the anesthe-
tist suddenly bends over and
whispers: "There was no serious
disease found . . . you will feel
no pain . . . you will eat and
sleep well, and enjoy your hos-
pital stay." And when he awa-
kens, the patient will most like-
ly do all of these things.
Farfetched? Not at all, Dr.
Donald D.. Hutchings of Bath,
N.Y., told the third annual sci-
entific meeting of the American
Society of Clinical Hypnosis in
Miami Beach recently, Dr. Hut-
chings himself has planted these
suggestions in the minds of 200
anesthetized patients; and 140
had no need for pain -killing ;
drugs after surgery. "Nausea
and vomiting were decreased,"
appar-
ently speeded."
The new technique is based 011
a discovery by Dr. David Cheek,
a San Francisco obstetrician who
wondered why some patients
suddenly, after surgery, hate
their surgeons or are sure they
are going to die. Using hypnosis,
Dr, Cheek found the apparent-
ly irrational attitudes were 1a'
tiouu| enough: The patients nem
able to hear under umy\heoia,
and what they heard — and then
'Forgot" — were ill-considered
remarks by the operating team.
In 50 papers, the ASCII dele-
gates
ok+xx|m made it clear: Hypnosis is
becoming more widely accepted
in medical and dental practice,
/mmtcommYo|y as an anesthetic.
According to Dr. Seymour
Uomhmm\ ASC\i secretary,
|iypxo'xuuihosi: was used m
44.181 surgical cases last year --
and in 3.808 of them. hypnosis
was the only anesthetic, Til,

birth: No other anesthetic was

COPICS DISCUSSED AT ONTARIO
FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE
MEETING
(By J. Carl Hemingway)
Perhaps most of you already know
:hat Huron County's representative in
he Ontario Dairy Princess Contest,
vliss Doreen Howatt, of Belgrave, won
he preliminary contest on August 30th,
Ve hope that you will be able to read
:isewhere in this paper that she has
;Iso won in the semi-finals on Septem-
.er 5th or 6th. We also hope that
)oreen's success will encourage more

adios to enter in next year's county

On August 30th. a meetiMg of the
.nembers of the Ontario Federation of
,lgriculture mot in the Royal York in
Toronto. I would like to report on
:some of the topics under discussion.
Mr. Charles Munroe, reported for
the Membership Committee and point -
cd out the need for the Federation
to sigw that the organization is giving
the individual farmer member some-
thing for his membership fee. The
:'ederation has done quite well in the
wing but all too often it has failed in
tae showing,
If you will continue to read this item

r
In reporting for the Properties Dept.
Mr. J. Ferguson showed where (arm-
ors had made real gains in obtaining
adequate compensation for lands tak-
en by Hydro, The same has happened
in the case of Highways an41 pipelines,
Perhaps greater than this is the hope
that this department has of obtaining
a "Trial of Necessity" on public use
Iof land. By law any public corporation
or government dept. by stating a case
of convenience and necossity can get
authority to expropriate your land.
• Too often "convenience and neces-
sity" seems to apply only to the cor-
poration rather than to the public. Int
one case In a neighbouring county, the
highway changed a curve, cutting off
about 5 acres of land, containing the
farm buildings from the rest of the
farm. A necessity If you wish to drive
at 75 or 80 miles an hour, a conven-
ience but at much too high a price,
The Federation hopes that it will be
compulsory that a discussion of this
"convenience and necessity" be held
with those concerned before the devel-
opment takes place,
The Federation has hcen successful
in its request that a railway Committee
be set up to meet with the Federation
representatives before freight rates are
changed.
The Properties Department is begin-
ning a de=tailed study of taxation meth-
