ed, on motion of Donald Howes and
Borden Cook
Mr. McNall congratulated the large
turnout, of ratepayers, saying,
"it is in Use best interest of the com-
munity when you see so many take an
interest in village affairs.
Reeve Morritt was the first to he cal-
led on. He said that he had a very
good year, and received excellent co.
operation from the council and village
officials. He felt that the affairs of the
village were in very good condition, On
the County Council lie was chairman of
the County Home Committee. Much
work has been accomplished on the
new wing of the Ilome, with the com-
mittee trying very hard to keep under
their $1,067,303.00 estimate. The work-
ers of the Home now consist of normal
Committee, and felt that conditions in
the village were much improved over
other years, Also on the Relief Coni
mince and was happy to report that
relief in the village was practically nil.
He has been a member of the Council
for the past four years and considered
it either time to move up or out, The
progressive way was up so he decline
himself as a contestant dor the Reeve -
ship of the Village for the coming year.
Ila asked for the support of all Blyth
citizens,
Mr, Cecil Wheeler said he had until
9 p.m. on Tuesday to decide, but did
not expect to be participating in the
election,
Mr. Gordon Elliott was the first cowl-
clilor called on. Ile was a member of
the Law and Order and Finance Com-
mittees. Very few complaints had been
received this year In regard to law
enforcement and felt that the present
system must Ire satisfactory, This
year's mill rate was higher and this
was entirely due to a 9 mill increase in
education costs. The local public
school had an increase of 21/2 mills,
and the Clinton District Collegiate In-
stitute was up 61/2 mills. The council
had lowered the municipal rate by 3
mills in order to keep the total increase
to a minimum. The village has ex-
ceeded their expenditure this year by
$3,20. In 1957 the village deficit was
$1,900. This year this has been lowered
to $917.26. He asked the ratepayers to
remember that when they paid their
taxes they were also paying for their
telephone, which amounted from $24.
to $36. He felt the council had managed
the financial affairs of the village in
the best possible way. In 1961 the Arena
debenture will be paid, and this should
mean approximately a 2 mill decrease.
Mr. Borden Cook was a member of
the. Street Committee.. They had spent
over $6,000.00 on the village streets.
This chiefly consisted of chloride, snow
removal and plowing, gravel and black-
top, and weed control, On the majority
of these . a government subsidy. of, 50
percent was received. They purchased

Great Jazzman Tells
Of Long Career
"That night, I guess I was the
alchest kid in New Orleans You
couldn't have bought me for a
Inky full of new moons, and 1
'was 6 years old."
As the late Sidney Bechet re-
calls it in "Treat It Gentle," his
autobiography published recent-
ly, this was the beginning, of his
long, great career as a jazzman.
He had borrowed his brother
Leonard's clarinet and held his
own in an impromptu jam ses-
sion with Freddie Keppard's
band. "I'11 never forget that feel-
ing I had back there in the kit-
vhen with those men, playing
along," Bechet explained. "Those
men, they were masters. They
really gave me the feeling of be-
ing discontented until I'd bo able
to work regular with them."
Bechet did not stay discontent-
ed for long. From an under -aged
clarinetist in his brother's band
— sent home early to be put to
bed — he went on to become
one of his profession's most styl-
ish virtuosos on the soprano
saxophone and, in the last decade
o1 his life (1949-59), the idol of
the French jazz world. "Treat

tape-recording process which re-
captured the life and times of
Jelly Roll Morton) also reveals
Bachet as a man of unusual sen-
sitivity and rare imagination.
The early chapters of the book,
tor example, are indelibly mark-
ed by the impact of a man he
never knew: Omar, a slave who
was shot to death after being un-
justly accused of raping a white
girl. Omar'; song of love for his
Negro sweetheart, says ilr'ehet,
tans "quiet and far 011, but it was
everywhere inside him." tlec•hct's
father was the son Omar never
lived to see: his mother was an
octoroon. Why, Bechet asked his
mother when he was very young,
"did you marry that black man?„
His mother, he notes was "an aw-
ful understanding woman
She just looked at me and said,
'Well, your father, when I saw
him, he was wearing such pretty
shoes. I just saw those shoes, and
he was dancing so well. All 1
could see was the shoes and how
he was dancing, and 1 fell in
Jove with hint"'
Bechet made the first of his
many trips abroad in 1919, when
he went to England with Will
Marion Cook and his orchestra.
A high point was a Command
Performance he played at Buck-
ingham Palace. "I didn't know
what to expect," he recalled,
"but the way it turned out, it
was just bigger than another
place; it was like Grand Central
Station with a lot of carpets and
things on the walls, Only it had
more doors."

Slowpoke Danger
On Our Highways
Speed kills, the signs tell us,
and no one who values his own
life and the safety of others on
the highway will argue that
strict enforcement of our speed
laws is not needed, But speed is
not the only highway menar:e.
And it is good to see that local
authorities are finally consider-
ing a 35 -mile an hour minimum
for Waterson Expressway.
For on the modern, high-speed,
heavy-traPfic expressway, the
slowpoke, though he is less of
a threat to his own safety, is as
great a menace to others as the
speed fiend, I -Ie blocks and
slows traffic. He forces other
drivers to slow or stop sudden-
ly, often at the risk of being hit
from behind. And because he
generally retards the flow of
traffic, he defeats the purpose
of the costly express highway.
Furthermore, there is some-
thing about slowpokes that makes
them want to drive either in the
left-hand lane or in the middle
of the road, where they stall
traffic altogether or cause otter
drivers to take nerve-wracking
chances in order to pass on the
wrong side,
A minimum speed limit can be
fairly easily enforced. The prob-
lem of the wrong -lane artist it
more difficult. It seems a shame
to have to waste the time and ef-
forts of patrolmen on these
nuisances, but we suspect that
nothing but a concerted educa-
tion campaign will work. —

A Small Girl Takes
A Horseback Ride
Seated on the hig while mare,
liicli forgot that it was almost
evening. She had seen something
that made her forget about
everything else around her.
Leaning over 10 look at her quiv-
ering reflection in the stream
that rippled around the mare's
feel, she had seen some tracks in
the damp sand beside the shal-
low water. They were not or-
dinary tracks, either. They were
tracks that had made her forget
the while -tufted rabbit brush on
the banks, the cottonwoods with
a few yellow leaves still cling-
ing to the naked branches, and
the cliffs towering scarlet into
the dark blue sky. The color of
the cliffs would have told her it
was sunset and time to go home,
but she was too busy thinking
111)0111 the tracks.
Tracks are not always import-
ant, but sometimes they lead to
things that are important, and
that was what troubled her.
These were not animal tracks -
not any animal she had ever
seen, anyway. They looked like
human being tracks, and she was
not sure she wanted to try to
track clown a human being un-
less she knew who it was first.
She knew they were not her own
tracks, for she had not got down
from White Violet. They were
not Michael's, for he had been
too busy plowing to come up the
canyon. They were not Tenn's,
for he had been herding the
sheep out on the flats. They, were
not Nancy's nor Mother's nor Fa-
ther's, for they never -went wad-
ing. They were not Orvil Foss -
gaiter's, for he never took his
boots off.... So the tracks would
have to be a stranger's. And now
all of a sudden she remembered
It was sundown and it would
soon be dark and she hadn't even
started home.
Luckily, White Violet must
have been thinking the same
thing, for all at once she raised
her head, put one ear forward,
then the other, then both. Then
she stretched her big white-
haired body, switched her tail,
and shuddered a little. She put
sine of her big wash -basin feet
out and the other, and soon all
four were moving. She turned
around and started down the
wash toward the trail that led
to home. - From "'The Glitter -

Trying To Make
Airports Bird -Proof
What is there about airports
that attracts birds?
One would think that the ear-
splitting din of planes taking oft
and landing would scare them
away. On the contrary, many
types of birds apparently consi-
der airports a kind of sanctuary.
This has developed to the
point where bird flocks have be-
come a hazard to flying, and
the Federal Aviation Agency is
urging all airports to make their
their runways off-limits to these
feathered 'friends.
The problem is not new, al-
though it has just been brought
into public focus by the mysteri-
ous crash of an airliner at Bos-
ton, known to have collided
with an enormous flock of star-
11ngs, shortly after take -off.
it iii not been established
that the encounter caused the
crash, but remains of the birds
were faund in three of the
plane's engines, and hundreds of
dead birds were 'found on the
runway,
This accident has touched off
a nationwide drive to "bird -
proof" airports. That is, as one
official explained, "to make air-
ports less attractive to birds."
Not that airports were designed
with the birds population in
mind, one way or the other.
But, unfortunately, many were
planned with shrubs or bushes
for scenic effect, wind protec-
tion, or noise screen. These the
birds have found inviting as a
roosting place, and also for a
quick snack, in cases where the
bushes have berries.
Ponds which often 'form in
airport areas, and to which no
one gave a second thought, are
now the object of real concern.
They attract aquatic birds, and
promote the growth of cattails
and other water shrubs tliat pro-
vide roosting places for star-
lings and blackbirds.
Now it has become apparent
that no one should build an air-
port without consulting the Fish
and Wildlife Service of the De-
partment of the Interior, local
Audubon societies, and any orni-
thologist handy.
Various bird -removing devices
are now being tried out. Weeds

This is no new problem to fish
and wildlife authorities who
have long been working on de-
vices to scare birds away from
the farmer's crops, or discour-
age them from roosting on pub-
lic buildings.
Scare devices which have been
used in corn fields include a
type of shotgun shell which ex-
plodes with a cloud of smoke,
often effective in dispersing
flocks of birds. There is also
a carbide operated gun which
shoots periodically all day.
Another invention to discour-
age bird concentrations is the
rope firecracker, used for crop
protection. The firecrackers are
spaced a certain distance apart
on a rope and go off one after
another at regular intervals.
Some work has been done on
supersonic devices but without
much success. More attention
will be given to this problem
now that it has extended from
corn fields to airports, and prob-
ably more money will be spent
- Congress willing - to con-
duct the experiments necessary
to eliminate this unnecessary
hazard to flight, writes Jose-
phine Ripley in the Christian
Science Monitor.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
has been working for several
years on the problem of birds
at the naval air station at Mid-
way Atoll, Here the albatrosses
and other seabirds have been a
cause of real concern, with con-
stant collisions with aircraft on
take -offs and landings.
An albatross weighs anywhere
from 'four to nine pounds, and
in collision with an airplane
usually leaves a dent in some
part of the plane. The expand-
ing facilities at Midway, with
the increasing use of jet planes,
is seen as making it imperative
to find methods of reducing the
hazards of these encounters, '
Experiments have been gong
on for four years now with only
a small measure of success, due
to the enormous bird population.
One nesting ground has been
cleared only to have the birds
regroup on another.
In its last report, the Fish and
Wildlife Service stated: "If the
regular operation of jet aircraft
i;: contemplated at Midway, ex-
periments should be conducted
to determine the effects of tern
(a small bird) ingestion on jet
engines."
It was concluded that the use
of screens on jet intakes is the
only mehtod known at present
for eliminating the possible ha-
zards of stnall bird ingestion.
Jets appear to be the most vol•
neroble to bird life, in that the
suction pulls the birds into 1he
engines.
Cockpit windshields have al-
ready been strengthened to
withstand the impact of birds hit
in flight. But the main problem
appears to exist in landings and
take -offs rather than high in
the air. 'There the pilot is better
able to maneuver around a flock
of birds than in the landing pat-
tern, and flight altitudes are far
above the usual bird "corridors"
anyway.
Meanwhile, the FAA is push-
ing an intensive coast to cou►.t
campaign to alert traffic con-
trollers to the danger of large
flocks of birds, particulars} dur-
ing the migrating season.

Cranberries - which have to

into the news again in a way to
stir admiration for the sturdy
confidence of an industry which
had its market knocked out from

themselves back in business.
Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., a
national farmer cooperative at
Hanson, Mass. has even managed
to introduce two new products.
To grasp the drama of this,
one must understand the na-
ture of the cranberry business.
This is no monolith of commerce,
but rather a banding together of
small individual operations into
farmer cooperatives which mar-
ket the cranberry crop.
• « «
Seventy-five per cent of the
cranberry growers in the United
States belong to Ocean Spray
Cranberries, which includes
members from Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Wisconsin, Wash-
ington, and Oregon. Such a co-
operative has no vast reserve
funds like those enjoyed by
many great corporations to draw
on In crisis.
Some of the growers have been
recompensed in part for the 1959
crop, which they could not sell,
by payments from the federal
government varying from a
minimum of $8.02 a barrel to a
maximum of $10,34, which may
total up to $10,000,000. But the
task of rebuilding public con -
Hence and recapturing their
market for the 1960 bumper crop
is one which the growers and
their coops have mostly had to
tackle for themselves.
"The 1960 crop of cranberries
is the largest in our history,"
states Ambrose E. Stevens, exe-
cutive vice-president and gener-
al manager of Ocean Spray Cran-
berries.
"The new crop is appearing in
grocery stores throughout the
nation, supported by the largest
expenditure for advertising our
cranberry growers have ever ap-
propriated for the holiday sea-
son. Despite this fact, because of
the magnitude of the crop, we
really have our work cut out for
us."
Many retailers have already
showed their sympathy with the
plight of cranberry growers by
not waiting until the traditional
holiday time to feature cran-
berry products. They have made
them part of their year-round
merchandising.
But the Industry, as repre-
sented by Ocean Spray, has
shown initiative and itnagina-
tion in offering two brand-new
products, at least one of which
can help increase sales this sea-
son
One, called 4 -II Club Cran-
berry Table- Syrup, has been
launched for limited distribu-
tion in an experimental market-
ing program which may become
nationwide after evaluation of
the marketing tests. The new
syrup, a topping for pancakes,
ice cream, and other desserts,
has this fall been sold exclu-
sively by the 4-11 Clubs of Mas-
sachusetts.
The other product is a new,
improved whole berry cran-
berry sauce which is just be-
ginning to be seen in some re-
tail stores but is expected to be
available in quantity in time for
Christmas demand.
* 4 4
The industry's effort to rebuild
its markets enjoys not only the
moral but the practical support
of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Early in Septem-
ber, Secretary of Agriculture Ez-
ra 'Taft Benson pledged the co-
operation of his department in
"helping all we can" in the re-
storation and expansion of the
cranberry market.

God's Covenant of Love
Jeremiah 31:3-7, 31-34;
1tc;ntans 8:1-2, 38-39
;Memory Sclerti41l: 1 Will IRA
1113' law in their inward parts,
and write it in their hearts. -
Jeretniah 31:33.
The Christian religion is dis-
tinct from all other religions in
its emphasis on love. The best
known verse in the Bible, John
3:16, expresses it. "For God so
loved the world, that lie gave
His only begotten Son, that who-
soever helieveth in Hire should
not perish, hut have everlasting
life."
God', love was manifest in His
dealings with Israel before the
advent of Christ. He said through
Jeremiah, "I have loved thee
v,ith an everlasting love; Oleic -
fore with loving kindness have
I drawn thee." But God's lave
was more fully manifest by Jes,'s
Christ. iii:s Iaw of love was mit-
ten in the heart.; of the disciples
when the Holy Spirit came to
abide in them, purisying their
natures and enduing then) w.th
power to witness for Jesus
Christ.w
In the second part of our
lesson, Ilomans Chapter 8, <',e
have mote teaching about the
Holy Spirit. When we receive 1h,±
forgiveness of sins the Spirit tvlt-
nesses with our spirit that we
are the children of God. rio
helps us to pray, making inter-
cession for us with groanings
v.hich cannot be uttered. We do
not panic in the difficult tunes
for we know that all things work
together for good to them tttt
love God. So certain is Paul of
God's love that 11e asks, "If G'td
be 'for 1►s, who can be against
us? He that spared not His own
Son, but delivered Him up for
us all, how shall he not with
Him also f r eel y give us all
things?" He is sure that noth-
ing can separate us from the love
of God, which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord,
God not only bestows His love
upon us but He shares it with us
so that we in turn love Him
and love our fellow men. What
the world needs today is more
people with God's love shed
abroad in their hearts by the
Holy Spirit. This will do more
for the peace of the world than
atomic missiles or satellites in
space. Let us be among those
through whose lives God's shines
forth.
One of the practical ways the
department has helped has been
to recommend the use of cran-
berries in local school lunch pro-
grams, as it often does with
plentiful products. In Massachu-
setts alone, about 1,400 schools
are cooperating by serving, at
appropriate intervals, cranberry
sauces and cranberry dessert -
and even, sometimes instituting
in lower grades a "cranberry -
juice break."
Certainly the secretary's state-
ment endorsing the industry's
"intensive merchandising cam-
paign" for the 1960 crop of
"wholesome cranberries a n d
cranberry products" is an official
effort to strengthen public con-
fidence in a product that Ameri-
cans have long considered essen-
tial to their holiday dinners

In the midst of celebrations the

festivities would stop and the
couple be in disgrace,

Another strange story he tells
is of King Milutin who married

was eight and he nearly fifty.

Partner and I were on our
way hone from Hespeler -- we
had been making a sympathy call
at the home of the young lad
who met such a tragic death the
week before, We had come
through the village of Campbell-
ville when Partner suggested we
take the Kelso Road and maybe
see something of the new dam
being built by the Conservation
Authority. "Do you know where
the road leads to?" I asked.
"Not exactly," admitted Part-
ner, "but it will conte out some-
where just above Milton."
So we went along the Kelso
read. After a few miles there
were warning signs - "Narrow,
winding road," and farther on—
"Steep hill ahead." I began to
get uneasy,
"Oh dear," I said at last, "I
believe I know where we are
coming out."
"Where?" asked Partner.
"At Rattlesnake Point!"
Now for the information of
those who don't know the dis-
trict Rattlesnake Point is the
highest point of land in Halton
county. It is part of the Niagara
Escarpment, its hilly, tortuous
road flanked by a precipice of
huge jagged rocks and trees.
More than one fatal accident has
resulted from a fall over its steep
banks. You have often heard me
speak of the "Mountain." This
was it — and we were on top
of it! Just as I became aware
of my bearings we came to a
"look -out" spat on the side of
the road. From it you can see
for miles around, even to Lake
Ontario over twenty miles away.
These look -cuts are necessary for
other reasons than to see the
view. Two cars cannot possibly
pass on this road so one of then)
must perforce back up until it
reaches a look -out. In England
they call the same kipd c'. thing
a "lay-by."
Well, there we were on top
of the "Point," Round the next
bend was the beginning of the
steepest part of the it i 1 1, We
couldn't turn round and go back•
we had to go clown. With my
heart in my mouth, my foot on
the brake and the automatic in
low gear, we began the descent.
I prayed the brakes would hold
and that we wouldn't meet a car
ccnling up. Partner said there
was nothing to worry about --
there wouldn't be any cars
"No?" I said, "how do you know
— someone else may be crazy
tco."
1 suppose the hill is about a
mile long. It seemed like five.
We were within sight of the
main road when I Saw a Zinc l:

on a w`.dcr stretch of road ana

Wednesday I was on the road
again. This time to stay over-
night with Bob and Joy — baby-
sitting while they attended a
Masonic banquet, It was an ex-
periment. Joy does not leave the
boys very much as twenty -
months' old Cedric is a little shy.
But he evidently approved of
his grandma and wasn't the least
bit of trouble. We had a grand
time especially with both boys
in the bath at the same time, We
had water all over the floor but
that, of course, was a mere de-
tail. By eight o'clock they were
both in bed. Cedric went right
off to sleep without once asking
for his mother. It was Ross who
stayed awake but fortunately he
wasn't any trouble either.
And do you know what? We
have finished painting. Actually!

No Illiterate
Freshmen Wanted !
The University of 11lini.; an-
nounced this week that 00 illit-
erate freshmen need apply.
Many citizens will be surprised
to learn that such an announce-
ment was necessary, but all col-
lege faculty members will un-
derstand. With the exception of
privately - endowcd col leg es
which have been blessed with
enough applicants so that they
could afford to enforce adequate
enhance standards most Ameri-
can institutions of "higher learn-
ing" have been struggling with
many students who haven't vet
learned to read and write.
In the worst plight have been
the state-owned schools which
are under pressure to accept any
kind of kid who has a high
school diploma. Faulty methods
of teaching reading, lack of in-
sistence on regular theme -writ-
ing, tolerance of misspelling, etc,
have produced a large number of
practically -illiterate high school
graduates.
The answer of the universities
has been courses in "remedial
reading and writing," i.e. an
effort to do in three hours a week
during one semester what the
lower schools should have done
over a period of years. It was
this course, described gently as
"Rhetoric 100," which the Uni-
versity of Illinois has just thrown
into the ash can.
The decision was made after
statistics proved that incompet-
would be lovely if it were re-
finished. But that requires more
energy than I possess at the mo-
ment.
And now it's quilting ... just
got a call 'frons Milton . , . W.I.

worth tomorrow. Never a dull

u shaky in handling their own
language that they t'✓cre Iequir-
ed to take Rhetoric 100, and al-
though it was a high school level
enurse 20 per cent flunked it flat
and another 23 per cent made the
pa.;.'ing but no -credit grade of D.
So the University has decided
that it is loo busy to teach high
school and it has thrown the
job hack at the high school prin-
cipals of Illinois, The reason, as
,'escribed by Professor Charles
W. Roberts, is not that the uni-
ti crsily wishes to be cruel to stu-

Belgium Headache In Congo
Relieved By Royal Marriage
by Rosette Hargrove
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Brussels — A fairy tale will
come true for Belgium on Dec.
15 when a royal wedding will be
held in this little kingdom by the
sea.
This will be a marriage that
the Belgians feared would nev-
er take place. For nine years
since King Baudoin ascended the
throne following the forced ab-
dication of his father, King Leo-
pold I1, rumors of the mari-
tal plans of the young King
abounded. But nothing ever hap-
pened.
At least 25 princesses at one
time or another were said to be
the future queen of Belgium,
Then it was believed that Baud-
oin intended to go into a Trap-
pist monastery, leaving the
throne to a less popular broth-
er, Prince Albert and his wife,
Paola.
But in September, when Bel -
streets of Brussels like any other
Belgian mother."
Queen Astrid died 25 years
ago; King Leopold later married
a "commoner," the governess of
his children, The second marri-
age received reluctant acceptance
because many Belgian woolen
questioned a king's right to re-
marry,
Fabiola . also is a commoner.
Her late father was one of the
wealthiest landowners of Spain.
The Belgians do not seem to
mind that she has been practi-
cally unknown outside her na-
tive land.
The future queen, at 32, is two
years older than Baudoin. An ac-
complished pianist, Fabiola plays
the guitar, too; she is versed in
Spanish, German, English and
French, one of Belgium's two offi-
cial tongues, (The other is Flem-
ish,)
Fabiola is a good-looking,
slight brunette whose quiet and
conservative manner of dress
BAUDOIN-and Fabiola: How they met is a secret,
gian Prime Minister Eyckens an-
nounced the engagement of His
Majesty the King to Dona Fabi-
ola de Mora y Aragon of Spain,
all doubts were dispelled.
The Belgians were caught com-
pletely by surprise. The engage-
ment was known only to King
Baudoin's father and stepmother
until the announcement was
made. But the people were over-
joyed.
The announcement carne at a
time when Belgium was torn by
internal strife over the coun-
try's policies in the former col-
ony of the Congo. The Ring's
engagement called an armistice
and many Belgians were relieved
to turn their minds from sorrow
to llappillCSS.
There are many things which
please the Belgians about the
queen -to -be, Fabiola. She re-
minds thein of King Leopold's
first wife, Queen Astrid, "the
snow princess," who used to
"wheel her bnby buggy along the
also appeals to the Belgians. She
had a beaked nose which hamp-
ered her early social life. But
a few years ago, she had it re-
modeled by a Madrid surgeon.
Her brother, Jaime, said later:
"Fabiola had the same kind of
Bourbon nose I have, For a 010n,
this does not matter. But for a
girl it could have been tragic."
Fabiola met King Baudnin af-
ter her nose was remade How
they met "is a secret I and keep-
ing for my children," the King
says.
But Belgium is not looking
into the past: it is facing the fu-
ture marriage in Brussels .with
heads held_ high and fingers
feverishly preparing for the oc-
casion,
This is the first time in 150
years that a European monarch
has married for the first time
while reigning. 13audoin will be
the first reigning Belgian ruler
to marry since the dynasty was
founded.
Mistake That Led
To The Gallows
1n London many of the unfor-
tunate women who lose their
lives by murder used Io he
known as street women. In spite
of their profession some of them
sire kind and generous, with a
feverish sort of gaiety which is
so frequently part of that lite,
On the other hand, most of
the men who kill them are ut-
terly loathsome objects sunk in
the depths of depravity, The
N(tnrlel' such men are removed
from the public view the better
for all concerned,
Throughout the years these
monsters appear on the scene,
leaving a trail of death, destruc-
tion and misery. Frederick Field
was such a man.
In October, 1931, a small shop
r,tood v a can t in Shaftesbury
Avenue, not far from Piccadilly
Circus, A possible new tenant had
been slaking inquiries with re-
gard to fitting new signs on th
chop front,
• On the morning of October 2nd
the sign maker's manager went
to the empty shop with one of
his workmen. Some days previ-
ously the workman had had the
key, but he appeared to have
mislaid it and another was used
so that the two men could enter
the premises.
1t was gloomy inside but on
the floor at the back they could
see a figure sprawled out, As
the manager passed he pointed
to it and remarked that he
"wished people wouldn't leave
these wax models lying about all
over the place,"
The workman, Frederick Field,
knew that it wasn't a dummy.
ile knew the figure lying on the
floor was the murdered body of
a young street woman, Nora Up-
church, She had been strangled
and had been dead for some
days.
Nora was only twenty. She
was described as a dancer, but
actually she was an entertainer
of men clients at a small flat in
F+haftesbury Avenue, Her home
was in Victoria.
In view of the fact that Fred-
erick Field had had the key to
the shop it was not surprising,
Field, however, was nothing if
not resourceful and among many
of his more unpleasant charac-
teristics was an ability to lay the
blame for his misdeeds on other
people.
He said that when he had
been in the shop a day or o
Culler a man had come to him
and told him that he was a pros-
pective tenant, Field said he had
given the key to this man, of
whom he gave the police a de-
tailed description,
He spent several days walk•
Mg about the West End with a
police officer trying to find the
prospective tenant. H o w e v e r,
they didn't find him, because
such a man never existed except
in the evil, fertile imagination
of Frederick Field, writes David
Ensor in "Tit -Bits."
Nevertheless, as the result of
Field's behaviour several per-
fectly respectable citizens found

Q. Is there any way to remove

A. If the material is white

themselves in the unpleasant po-
sition of having to account for
their movements on the night a
street woman had been murder-
ed.
Unfortunately, the police had
very little evidence, but Freder-
ick Field was taking no chances.
Ile made preparations for his de-
fence, in the event of being
charged, by selling his story to
a newspaper in return for fin-
ancial assistance.
No such charge was made and
nearly tWo years had gone by
when Frederick Field walked in-
to the same newspaper office and
confessed to the murder of Nora
Upchurch,
The newspaper promptly con-
tacted Scotland Yard and a little
later Field repeated his story to
the police. He was then charged
with murder.
Where Frederick Field had
been extremely cunning was the
fact that his confession contain-
ed several glaring inaccuracies.
For instance, he said he had
killed the girl with his hands,
whereas she had in fact been
strangled with her belt.
At his trial at the Old Bailey
he was therefore able to point
to these inaccuracies, which, he
said, only confirmed that his
confession was bogus.
He withdrew it, saying he had
never killed the girl. He had only
made the statement so that he
could appear before a jury and
be acquitted. He was tired, he
said, of having the finger of sus-
picion continually pointed at
him.
Whatever the judge, the police
and the jury thought, there could
be no other result but the ac-
quittal of Frederick Field for
the murder of Nora Upchurch,
Field, now a free man, -prompt-
ly joined the R,A,F. — and then
committed the supreme blunder.
Having got away with murder
once, he did it again three years
later, and attempted to work the
same trick with his defence.
This time his fatal mistake
was in describing the murder of
another street woman, Beatrice
Sutton, in too much detail He
described the situation of the
body and the flat in a way that
could only have been done by
the man who was there at the
time the crime was committed.
Nobody but the murcierer could
have known such details.
When Frederick Field tried to
withdraw his confession for 'I
second time it just didn't work.

Still Seeking Thar
, Hidden Treasure
Once again they're sucking tit
treasure hoard that ht's hidden
in the forbidding Superstition
Mountains of Arizona, A new
expedition is being planned to
unearth the fabulous goldmine
believed to exist some thirty -fire
miles east of the city of Phoei x
Ever since the day, seventy-six
years ago, when Jacob Wolz ct,n-
I'essed to a neighbour the loca-
tion of the mine, thousands of
prospector, have tricd to find it,
but all have failed.
It is claimed that a thwart,:d
love affair uncovered the aline in
the beginning. A young Mexican
peasant dared to lay seige to
the heart of a lovely scnotita
who was the daughter of a
wealthy Mexican landowner. But
though his scige brought about
her complete surrender, he
overlooked the father's rage al
this young man's arrogance in
supposing he would be accept-
able as a son-in-law.
The young Mexican fled, tak-
ing refuge in the Superstition
Mountains, then Mexican terri-
tory, And there by chance, ile
stumbled across the goldmine
Seeing a way in which se
could still win the girl, the young
man hurried south and told
some of his friends. It would
have been easy enough for then)
to return but a complication had
arisen meanwhile,
The U.S, government, wanting
to build a transcontinental rail-
way to the Pacific, was about
to complete what has since be-
come known as the Gadsen Pur-
chase. This was the purchase of
many millions of acres of semi-
arid land which included the
Superstition Mountains — and
the goldmine, It meant, too,
that the mine would then be in
U.S. territory and no longer in
Mexico,
The young Mexican quickly
organized an expedition and led
it to the mine. There they dug
all the gold their horses could
carry and jubilantly set off
home.
As they were passing through
a rocky defile, disaster struck the
two -hundred -strong party. They
were encircled and massacred
by a horde of Apache Indians,
Except for two young lads who
had ridden behind a bush nc,ne
escaped. The Indians scalped
their victims and went off with
the gold, unaware that the two
boys were alive. These two made
for home, determined that one
day they would return,
Some years later they did go
back, taking a third young marl
with them as a partner. Without
difficulty they - found the mine,
and began to dig.
It was at this stage that Jacob
Wolz appeared on the scene.
Wolz was a Dutchman, big, lusty,
with a white beard. But his
noble -looking face hid an evil
heart, Looking for gold in the
Superstition Mountains, he had
been attacked by Apaches and
driven into a region into which
he had never before penetrated.
It was there he came across Inc
camp of the three Mexicans. Fall-
ing for his noble looks, they told
hint about their mine.
"Let me help you," Wolz plead-
ed. "I won't ask for any wages"
They led him to the mine and
Wolz quickly realized its fabul-
ous worth.
That night he shot the three
young Mexicans as they lay
asleep, So Wolz came into sole:
possession of the aline,
it wasn't long before alba
prospectors heard rumours about
Wolz's goldmine, Many tried to
•buy shares in it, but Wolz r�
fused. Others trailed him, but
he outwitted them. Those he'
couldn't shake off he killed.
Some years later, in 1884, Wolz
on his death bed confessed that
he had killed his own nephew as
well as seven other men, each of
whom had sought to wrest the
mine from him.
When he confided the secret of
the mine's location to the friend-
ly neighbour, the latter quickly
equipped himself to make a
search. Everything went accord-
ing to Wolz's directions until he
came to the place where a tree
with a peculiar pointing branch
should have been,
11 had vanished without trace!
in the years that followed all
attempts to discover the aline
have failed, many of the search-
ers, dying of thirst and starva-
tion. It seemed that the Supersti-
tion Mountains had become ac-
cursed,
Ironically, that friendly neigh-
bour who was in such a hurry to
find the aline never thought to
look under the bed on which
Wolz was dying.
If he had, he would have found
indisputable evidence of the
mine's existence, and a small for-
tune as well, in a shoebox. T1 was
full of gold ore!
A lady was mailing the old
family Bible to her brother at
Christmas, The harassed postal
clerk examined the heavy pack-
age carefully and inquired if it
contained anything breakable.
"Nothing but the :Pen Command-
ments," she replied sharply.

Be would take her dor a spin
It was really his intention
himself, a girl to win.
Not many months had slipped away
Says Bob "I need a wi[c"
And when he popped the question
Liz said "You bet your life,"
I will have to ask my mother
But I know she will agree
As I have often heard her say
Bob "is" the man for Inc.
It will bo Rev, E, McLagan
Who will tie the final knot
You can bet this is one December 3,
That will never be forgot.
We hope that you'll find what you need
Within this wishing well,
To help you cook, to wash a dish
After you've heard that wedding bell.
We ask you to accept these gifts,
We hope you will them treasure,
From all your neighbours here to -night
Go best wishes in groat measure.
