Fireside Farm Forum Meet
On December 511n, Mr, and Mrs. Eric
Anderson entertained 13 members of
the Fireside Farm Forum. The topic
was "Consumer Protection".
We believe there is a certain amount
of misrepresentation and trickery in
many lines of business and in adver-
tising in our community. We do not
approve of food being packaged in
containers of 11 to 15 ounces and often
advertised at so much per pound.
Many purchasers do not notice the
small print and believe they are re-
ceiving the pound. We believe it a
poor policy to purchase from unknown
high pressure salesmen who go from
.home to home advertising their pro-
ducts, afterwards the neighbours find
that many of their statements were
untrue and their products very expen-
sive, Drugs are extremely expensive
and the prices of the same articles
vary too greatly in different stores or
from different doctors. The purchas-
'Crs seldom report any serious misrep-
resentation because they hate to admit
they had been taken in by a smart un-
principled salesnman. People should be
more careful in buying, Refrain from
dealing with any company or fly by
night strangers who misrepresent or
•make misleading statements. These
shady deals should be reported to the
the Better Business Bureau. Deal with
a well known honest salesman rather
than looking for bargains from strang-
ers. The Government could make
stronger laws and have more rigid en-
forcement on them to protect consum-
'ers but the',hurchaser is often the one
most to blame.
Winners in progressive euchre were;
most games, Mrs. and Mr, Oliver An-
derson; lone hands, Mrs. Alex Riley,
•Don Buchanan; consolation, Mrs, Don
Buchanan and George Carter;
Mrs. George Carter invited the group
for next week.

Rev. Robert Meally Guest
Speaker at W. I. Meeting
Christmas was the predominating
thought of the Blyth Women's lnst•itute
meeting held in the Blyth Memorial
Hall on December 1st.
Rev. Robert Meally, rector of 'Trinity
Anglican Church, was the guest speak-
er. The theme of his talk was '"1'110
Christmas Story."
In part, Mr. Meally stated "It may
be strange to home that December 25th
was not always Christmas Day. Some
of the early churches held Christmas
in May, o.hers in various months,
During the fourth century the date was
fixed as December 25th and so this
season is known as Advent, meaning
coming."
Looking irst of all to the birthday of
our Lord, Mr. Meally expressed regret
that church services are not always
held on Christmas Day, but the date)
falling on Sunday. This year makes
the Sunday service necessary. "Advent
has three lessons for us. Christmas in
old Latin means "service of Christ,"
but we forget the first part of the word
Christmas. We overemphasize Santa
Claus• instead. of -emphasizing. Christ.
He divided history from B.C. to A.D."
"When we sing carols, do we realize
what they mean, that Christ came and
gabs His life that we might live, So,
in this troublesome age, both at home
and abroad, may the message of tate
angels, "Peace on Earth," come true.
Mrs. L. M. Scrimgeour contributed
a reading, "The Littlest Angel."
Miss J. Woodcock had a pretty exhibit
of easily made Christmas table decor.
ations.
The roll call was answered by don•
ating contributions to the Christmas
boxes for shut-ins. Mrs, Luella Me-
gawatt was appointed local leader for
4-11 club girls work and authorized to
choose an assistant.
The date for the Christmas fair at
the County Home was announced for
December 5th. The Blyth W. I. will
sponsor the January birthday party
at the Home,
The January roll call will be an-
swered with a donation of a tea towel
for the W.I. Several items of business
was discussed, but either filed or left
with committees to deal with.
Christmas table cloths were laid and
everyone enjoyed refreshments typical
of the Christmas Season.

The local municipal election on Mon-
day saw the end of an eleven year
reign as reeve of the village, when
Scott Fairservice was chosen reeve by

bers and future members plus the
management committee met in Bel•
grave on- Tuesday, November 29, at
8.30 p.m. for the reorganization of the
Belgrave Feeder Sher Club.
Twelve young men enrolled for the
1960-61 project, an increase of 2 mem-
bers over last year. It was decided
that each members lot of four steers
would be weighed on Thursday, De-
cember 1, to mark the beginning of the
feeding period. Each mbmber will
feed Ills steers the way he so desires
and a feeding record will be kept o►,
forms provided by the Department of
Agriculture office in Clinton.
In the spring, just previous to going,
on grass the steers will be' weighed
again and the cost per pound of gain
for the winter feeding period of each'
members lot of steers will be compar-
ed. Al. this time each steer will be
implanted in the ear with 24 tng. of
Stilbestral,
Ih late summer or early fall the
steers are expected to be marked at
which time a complete comparison of
the winter and summer feeding periods
of each lot of steers •can be compared
according to cost per pound of gain.
The newly elected officers are, Presi-
dent, John Nixon; Vice President, Alex
Nethery; Secretary and Press Report-

Winter's The Time
For Keeping Quiet
For over twenty years I have
taken great delight in autumn
bounty around Santa Fe. It Is the
perfect time to acquire not only
lite largess of ruddy earth but
the thoughts connected with ob-
taining it,
A few weeks ago. we drove
under turquoise skies to the
Spanish village of Chimayo in
search of fresh ristras of chilis
to hang by our corner fireplaces.
We have been doing this for
many years but were totally un-
prepared for the splendor of the
ecene awaiting us. Usually, only
the southern side of little adobe
houses, sheds and barns blazed
with ropes of drying chilis.
This year so abundant was the
harvest that almost every abode
building had all its walls obliter-
ated with flame -red ristras, They
looked like some kind of fan-
tastic shelter cosesred on the
outside with scarlet curtains. We
had never seen such enormous
chilis. They were twice their
usual size and enameled with
flame, At last we rolled home-
ward, not for the "Hanging of the
Crane," but the "Hanging of the
Chilis."
Our next expedition in Octo-
ber was in the opposite direction,
down the Rio Grande to "Old
Jim" Young's apple ranch in the
mouth of a canyon in the blue
Jemez mountains. Trees were
laden with red and golden fruit.
Epanish Americans, "Anglos,"
and Indians were picking. Great
trucks roared up and down to
take the apples into the ware-
houses where they would be
sorted and packed for shipment,
Along the sorting tables sat In-
dian girls dressed in bright col-
ors. In the midst of delectable
apple fragrance, we selected
overflowing bushels of big Gol-
den Delicious fresh from the
trees.
Every year since I have been
going to Old Jim's ranch, I have
always watched for a Cochiti In-
dian working there, whose name
delights ate. Soon I heard an
"Anglo" boss call out, ''Tall Tim-
ber, roll that truck into the stor-
age room." Tall Timber, a little
less than average Pueblo Indian
height, which is short, stalked by
MONKEY ON HER BACK —

Hs the jungle look,
and i felt the apple eepedil ion
was complete.
When I reached home, I placed
a wooden bowl of golden apples
on the indented shelf of the cor-
ner fireplace, under the new rist
ra of flame -colored chilis.
thought of the apple orchard Old
Jim Young planted at the mouth
of Cochiti Canyon. Eight hund-
red years ago Cochili Indians
lived on top of the great blue
mesa which forms the west wall
of the canyon, The ruins of that
ancient village now belong to
Old Jim. Long before the Span-
ish settled here in the early 16th
century, the Indians had moved
down along the Rio Grande
where they now live, With the
coming of the Spanish many bat-
tles were fought In the valley
where the apples grow. Quanti-
ties of Indian arrowheads were
found when the soil was plowed
for planting the first trees.
Later, if snows do not block
our way, we will take the long
jaunt to Jemez Pueblo for their
great Corn Dance. We will
journey through a vast, sparsely
inhabited valley bounded by
ruler -straight blue mesa -tops and
by distant snow -dabbled moun-
tains, We will find the Jemez
people celebrating their great
dance of Thanksgiving for crops
garnered and safely in storage
for the long winter. All over the
place will stalk hundreds of
visiting Navajos.
Last year I bought in Jemez
the second cluster of Indian corn
1 use to hang on the right-hand
side of my fireplace. Indian corn
outlasts Spanish chilis and "Ang-
lo" apples by many years. These
five long ears, two of blue corn,
two of white splotched with pur-
ple and one of red, all held to-
gether by their bent -back husks
braided together, represent five
of the Indians' cardinal direc-
tions. They are north, south, east
and west and up, They have a
sixth direction, down. It is char-
acteristic of their philosophy that
They do not represent that sixth
direction,
As I muse over the symbols of
three peoples' thinking, before
my corner fireplace, I remember
that the "Anglo" apples are the
first to disappear, that Spanish
chilis last only until another sea-
son, but that Indian corn remains
colorful and intact almost in-
defnitely.
I remember that Indians shake
their heads at the white man's'
hurry and anxieties. Just a few
weeks ago, Taos Indians were in-
vited to attend a meeting in Tao
teon. There was to be a talk on
preparedness for nuclear war-
fare. No one really expected the
Indians to come. To the amaze-
ment of the "Anglo" and Span-
ish town people, the Governor of
the pueblo and the entire Trib-
al Council filed into the public
meeting. With blankets wrapped
and with hair braided they lis-
tened intently to talk of possible
shelters from the white man's
bombs,
At last, one Council member
remarked casually, "Long, long
ago, our ancients pass down
saying to us that someday some-
thing will come out of the sky to
destroy the land, the animals,
and the plants,"
Would the Indians construct
shelters against nuclear warfare,
the preparedness spokesman ask-
ed.
Yes, they would construct shel-
ters, the Indians answered, But
not, I ani quite certain, this win-
ter, Winter is, as all good Indians

Oratory Contests
An in :'.ori ut cones In he a
lodge at. the 'till Prize Speaking
al Ilov;doin College, which 1
shall surely do, for it is a vin-
dication of sorts, I, who was al-
ways a bridesmaid, never won a
speaking contest in my notable
career, but was the one who, at
the door on the way out, was
always greeted with, "You
shoulda won that, the judges
were puddingheads!"
It has long been my conten-
tion that Demosthenes, Cato, and
Cicero, competing in one of our
routine speaking contests, would
finish in tenth, eleventh, and
twelfth place, while the contest
would be won by a squeaky -
voiced young lady who rendered
"The Old Violin" in tearful jubi-
lation at the sound of her own
voice. Some of this stems from
my own firm belief that at
times 1 did, about as well as
any of them, but that the judges
were swayed away from me by
some quirk of destiny I could
never quite overcome,
I didn't have a heavy voi,.e,
but expression was my middle
name, I could read tines. Every-
body applauded, and said I
should have had the prize, But
1 never got one.
I do think "modern education"
L4 poorer because the speaking
period has been dropped in fa-
vour of something they call
"participation," They tell ole
youngsters never memorize a
piece any more, and never know
the horror of arising to repeat it
with gestures, before a silent
classroom that couldn't care less,
Instead, they get out of school
to find how ill-equipped they
are, then sign up for a charts
course, or personality develop-
ment, where they pay good
money to learn how to talk be-
fore an audience.
According to present lights, 've
never really learned anything of
consequence in s c h o 01, in my
lime, but we did know how to
get up and speak a piece. There
used to be books called "speak-
ers," which were compiled with
all the old favourites present,
and from which a pupil could
select something to repeat. For
the most part, these books avoid-
ed "humour," which was undig-
nified, and not worthy of public
presentation. Teachers told us it
would be better, for a contest,
if we avoided anything which
might atnuse the audience, and
turn them to laughter. This is
true - I never knew a "you-
mourous" piece to win a prize,
and any tendency toward levity

that it wasn't worth trying
The closest I ever came to win•
ning a prize was the night I
"gave" The Man Without a
Country. This was quite long,
and it took weeks to commit it.
I laboured with my little yeller
cow, who was always my best
coach, and as the milk strummed
into the pail I would pursue
the lamentable career of Philip
Nolan until my little cow fairly
bawled. There was some amaze-
ment about the village that a
piece of this length should he
attempted.
There was an awe about mem-
orizing things, and this suggest•
cd a tax on any one person's
mental facility. But the ebening
of the contest cane, and the
program had it right down there
in black and white. When ray
turn carne, I arose and faced the
incredible audience. I knew the
simple question'of being able to
do it was more intriguing to
them than the matter of how I
did it, They stared back,
My little cow had failed roe,
I thought she had coached me
well, but this was not true, 1
stood in front of that audience,
with the greatest opportunity to
make a fine impression, and 1
couldn't remember how The
Man Without a Country took oft.
Not a word came to me. I'm
sure if somebody had just said
the first word - the first letter
- I'd have rattled the whole
thing off without a hitch. But
nobody did. So, I did what any
gifted public speaker does when
in such unhappy circumstances
he finds himself, for any reason,
foiled in his plans.
I found myself saying, "In
connection with the war in Cuba,
there is one incident that stands
out in my mind like Mars at
perihelion!" I then went ahead
and repeated "A Message to Gar-
sia" (which is naturally pro-
nounced gar-sha) and which I
guess is fully as long, and at
least a good deal more uninter-
esting.
You may wonder how 1 hap-
pened to know "A Message to
Garcia," and I can only answer
that I have 'no idea. The switch
confounded the audience, it was
impossible to believe that a boy
who might have forgotten "The
Man Without a Country" would
cover up such temporary lapse
by gong through "A Message to
Garcia." But again, the sheer
physical prowess involved in
this made no impression on the
judges. They retired to the ante-
room, and after three selections
by the orchestra came back to
announce that the prizes 'had
been won by (1) "The Old Vio-
lin"; (2) "Farewell to Benedict
Arnold"; and (3) "The Psalm of
Life." At the door, everybody
told me I should have won.
When Professor Thayer of
Bowdoin dropped me an erudite
but small note, inviting my pres-
ence to judge the elderlyest of
the Bowdoin declamation con-
tests (the college still retains a
few ancient goodnesses) 1 read-
ily accepted. I may pick out the
obvious loser, and vote for him
enthusiastically, on the grounds
that somebody at the door may
wring Kit, hand and say, for once,
that the prize went where it
should, I may, and then again, I
may not. Only I shall ever know.

Credit unions in Canada a po-
tent force in the rural economy,
continued to expand throughout
1959 and reported a membership
of 2,347,317, or 13.3 per cent of
the country's population.
This was a seven per cent in-
crease over the previous year,
according to the report of Ver-
non Heighton, Canada Depart-
ment of Agriculture economist.
• '1 Y
The trend in growth was to-
ward the occupational type of
credit union which formed 34
per cent of the total in 1959 com-
pared with 16 per cent in 1949.
Rural credit unions still domin-
ate the Atlantic Provinces and
also the Province of Quebec,
which reported more than one
half of the all -Canada member-
ship. • •
Savings, which include shares
and deposits, increased 13 per
cent to $1,056 million, Quebec
accounting for about 90 per cent
of total deposits and 61 per cent
of total savings. The average
assets on a per member basis for
Canada totaled $492,
Credit Unions granted $470
million in loans, 20 per cent
more than in 1958. Assets also
were up by $145 million to $1,009
million.
The balance sheets show a big
difference in the distribution of
assets and liabilities in Quebec
compared with the rest of Can-
ada.
Quebec credit unions reported
four times as much money in
mortgages (for hones) and four
times as much in investments as
the rest of Canada,

Rural home -makers are not
being provided with homemak-
ing information through all of
the many ways and means they
would like to receive it, Dr.
Helen Abell of the Canada De-
partment of Agriculture, dis-
covered from a recent survey of
Ontario farms.
The specialist in rural soci-
ology, studying the answers of
352 typical 'farm women, half
of them members of the Wo-
men's Institute, said the col-
laboration of husband and wife
on a farm as partners in deci-
sions emphasized the need for
educational policies and pro-
grams at all levels. "Economics"
in the Hoene Economics and
"Home" In the Home and Farm
Management programs should
be stressed,
• • •
Those interrogated said they
would like more home -making
information through three ad-
ditional media - demonstra-
tions; information on labels of
articles they wish to purchase;
and Home Economics classes for
children in school.
Media most employed fur get-
ting homemaking information
average one of two for each
housewife queried, These are, in
order of popularity, magazines
and newspapers, television and
radio, and short courses, chiefly
those given by the provincial
Home Economics Service,
• • •
"The need for continuous ef-
forts to supply farm families
with knowledge and information
relating to both homemaking and
to farming is clearly demon-
strated in this study."
• * •
Although few farmers' sons
work away from home as hired
men and there are practically
no hired girls on farms today,
Canadian farm children still
learn farming and homemaking
at home. In addition a whole
now range of tuition is open to-
day to the farm fancily through
formal courses at primary, sec-
ondary and university levels, ex-
tension services, 4 -If, Junior
Homemaking Clubs and Infor-
mation Services,
hlo: t interest in homemaking
information centres around the
technical aspects of clothing and
textiles and food preparatiop
and, on the farming side, wo-
men say their menfolk would
like more information on live-
stock and crops, soils, farm man-
agement and machinery.
• • •
In most families where there
has been contact with home-
making or farming training, or
experience through the school
system or government-sponsored
rural youth organization and
short courses, the benefit of such
training is recognized, The skills
have been of practical applica-
tion in farm and home operation
and have helped in the personal
development of the family and
made them more receptive to
new ideas.
iIIG BUSINESS!
According to a United States
Agricultural expert you can
make a rough guess of annual
sales in any' local supermarket
by multiplying the number of
check-out lanes by $400,000.
Q, What decoration idea will
"lower" an old-fashioned high-
ceilinged room?
A. You can make this room
appear lower by painting its
walls a dark color, the ceiling
very light or white.

He Photographs
Hummingbirds
Crawford H. Greenewalt,.who
earns $600,000 a year for run-
ning E, I. du Pont de Nemours
and Co. with a clean desktop effi-
ciency, was being kept waiting,
Moreover, he was aching for
coffee, as only the hungry and
cold can ache.
Suddenly the waiting was over.
A blue blur flashed near by.
Lampornis clemenciae, a hum-
mingbird no bigger than a child's
hand, whose habitat is the moun-
tains of South Texaco and Ari-
zona, had come to feed in Ari-
zona's Ramsey Canyon, And
Greenewalt, whose habitat Is du
Pont's president's chair in Wil-
mington, Del,, was there to pho-
tograph him. It was, he recalled,
"worth all the agony,"
Lampornis clemenciae, caught
in all its glory, is one of 100 high-
speed color photographs of hum-
mingbirds that Greenewalt will
exhibit this month at New York's
American Museum of Natural
History. Also this month, a port-
folio of his exquisite color pho-
tographs with explanatory text
has been published, titled "Hum-
ming birds."
Many others, of course, have
stalked the bright -plumed hum-
mingbird with camera, trying to
freeze the flashing whir - some
hummers fly at 80 wing beats
per second - in their true iri-
descent colors. But no one has
ever approached the subject of
humming birds in quite the way
that Greenewalt has. Aided by
the tools of modern science,
Greenewalt has solved long-
standing problems of classical
optics and aerodynamics theory.
The work, the museum's curator
of birds Dr. Dean Amadon
writes, "is destined to become a
classic of natural history."
Leisure Fever: For his part,
Greenewalt, a relaxed, white-
haired man of 58 who could fit
into the same suit he wore as an
MIT freshman in 1918, didn't
intend it that way. In the past,
his leisure activities had been
eclectic: Tennis, the clarinet, the
cello, orchid photography Then,
one day in 1953, his wife, the
former Margaretta du Pont, in-
stalled a bird feeder outside the
Greenmails' fifteen -room stone
house. He took his first hum-
mingbird photo, stopped the
wing -beat action, and "caught the
hummingbird fever."
"I knew vaguely that there
were about 300 species," Greene-
walt told a visitor recently as
he leaned back behind that clean
desk in his modest du Pont office.
"I also knew that the best-
known hummingbird illustra-
tions were over a century old
and had been made from dead
skins, Since I ant a museum trus-
tee, I wondered if they'd be in-
terested in having me do some
modern high-speed humming-
bird photography.
"I just thought I'd go to the
bird department and ask them:
'Where do I go?' Boy, was I
wrong; they didn't know -
they're not field people."
As it turned out, the most
valuable hummingbirds and
hummingbird fanciers were in
South America. Accompanied by
his wife, who "liked the girds
but didin't care too much for
the technical side," Greenewalt
traveled 100,000 utiles over seven
years. Because he presides each
Wednesday at du Pont executive
committee meetings, the longest
time he felt he could take away
from the office was two weeks.
The shortest trips were what he
called "long weekends" in Cali-
fornia: "I'd fly there, rent a u -
drive -it, set up, photograph, and
go hone."
Through trial and error,
Greenewalt hit upon the best
photography techniques, A
month or so before a South Ame-
rican trip, for example, feeders
were set up by local friends to
entice the hummingbirds to a
selected spot. The camera is
Swedish Hasselblad, motorized
so that an electronic circuit auto-
matically moves the film for-
ward, This means Greenewalt
need not reset the camera for
each shot and perhaps frighten
the bird away,
A scientist by profession,
Greenewalt's Interest in hum-
ming birds soon went beyond
simple photography.
"There are two striking things
about then," he explained. "The
huntntingbi►rl has all the colors
of the spectrum literally. This
iridescent brilliance is related
to the position.= of bird, sun, and
observer. 13u1 liow do the colors
get so bright? You worry, read
about it, go I,.►cic to Newton and
relearn optic::, The same thing
with this hovering. How in God'a
name do they do that, you won-
der. So you're off on another
subject."
Greenewalt has offered scion•
tific explanations of both phe-
nomena. His solution to the old
iridescent puzzle is published
this month in the Journal of the
Optical Society of America, The
Philosophical Society of Ameri-
ca's Transactions will carry his
monograph on the oscillator the-
ory of hummingbird flight.
"I'll tell you one thing," he said,
"I never could have done this
alone if I had all the money in
the world and all the time. I had
help all along - the boys at the
du Pont engineering research
station would cobble me up the
equipment I needed, When t
needed to know something about
flight theory, I could call up and
ask (White House Science advis-
er) Jim Killian for the names of
aerodyna►nicists."
Had Greenewalt's mind ever
wandered from corporate affairs
to hummingbirds during an exe-
cutive conntitee meeting? He
laughed. "I've had an inspiration
or two during work hours, but 1
can turn my mind off and on
pretty well. The only bird I see
from this office is an occasional
pigeon that lights out the win-
dow. And so far, no irate let-
ter's from stockholders."

LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay 1Varren
B,A., 8.D.
The Greatest Promise
Isaiah 9:2-7; Galatians 4:1.7
The Memory Selection, Isaiah
9:6, contains God's Promise of
a Saviour, which is indeed the
greatest promise. "For unto us a
child is born, unto us a son is giv-
en: and the government shall
be upon his shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonder-
ful, Counsellor, The mighty
(";od, The everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace,"
Isaiah, though an Israelite,
saw that the coning Messiah
would bring blessing to all na-
tions of the world, "Of the
increase of his government and
peace there shall be no end."
We don't all recognize it, but
this is really the fundamental
longing of the world today. We
want the peace that can c.)me
only when Jesus Christ rules.
We want security and happy
homes, But to a great extent, we
are trying to achieve the end
without the means. The hum-
ble way of the cross is still des-
pised, We are trying to build a
tower that will reach to heaven.
We form organization after or-
ganization and talk in loud
sounding terms. Jesus Christ,
said, "I ant the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me," We must
repent of our sins. And repent-
ance doesn't mean just feeling a
little sorry for them. It means
confessing and forsaking them.
Only when we have made up
our mind to this, can we have
faith in Jesus Christ; faith that
brings salvation.
In the second portions of our
lesson, Paul writes, "God sent
forth his Son, made of a woman,
made under the law, to redeem
that were under the law, that
we might receive the adoption
of sons." We have all broken
God's moral law and hence are
all under condemnation. But
Jesus Christ can deliver us from
this . condemnation and' restore
us to a sense of sonship. Many
sincere people do not know that
this delightful sense of assur-
ance of sonship can be ours here
and now. We can experience the
New Birth and know that we
have passed from death unto
life. Then we can sing, "Blessed
assurance, Jesus is nine, 0 what
a foretaste of glory Divine."

At 7:13 on,- morning recently,
e.2 -year-old newsman Harris

Another adv ory front London
reported: Moscow says by phone

Teletype chattered with the Vi-

put the 200 -word story on the

thing but routine. Hearst's New

emote, ran the AP story under
•t double -deck headline: Rumour
weeps Vienna — Report Knish
ousted. Pictures of Mulish:They,
Malenkov, and Zhukov were
spread across five columns.
All the while, the AP's major
rivals — United Press Interna-
tional and Reuters — held their
fire. Reuters at first carried only
a brief advisory to editors, say-
ing that it was checking out the
rumour. (It later began carry-
ing the lull story.) UPI, despite
pressure front client papers, sat
firmly on the story until 11:25
a.m., when it was able to quote
the official Soviet news agency
Tass as calling the rumours "ut-
ter nonsense."
The Vienna rumour, never-
theless, touched off a flurry of
speculation around the world.
The Nev York Daily News re-
ported that 3,000 telephone in-
quiries about I: jammed its
switchboard. The New York
Times noted that the unsupport-
ed rumour, implying a harder
Soviet line toward the U S.,
touched off a brief spurt in elec-
tronic and defense stocks on
, Wall Street.
How had the rumour started?
The AP reported that its man in
V i e n n a — 34 -year-old Hans
Benedict — had picked up the
gossip when ten different Aus-
trian Government officials tele-
phoned him to ask if the story
was true. UPI said a man rept e -
senting himself as a Tele -printer
operator at the Soviet Embassy
had walked into the wire ser-
vice's Vienna bureau, claiming
that he had learned the contents
cf a coded message from Mos-
cow.
The rumour mills were also
speeded up by Abend -Presse, a
five -clay -old evening newspaper
published by Fritz Peter Mol -
den, the heir of the old, respect-
ed Vienna publishing family.
Three hours after the AP's first
report, Abend -Presse hit the
streets with a slightly different
version, listing Lazar M, Kaga-
novitch as the new Soviet Presi-
dent.
Molden, a wartime OSS opera-
tive inside the ranks of the
German Army (and former son-
in-law of U.S. Central Intelli-
gence Agency director Allen
Dulles), insisted he had picked
up the story front "one of the
most reliable sources in the
Western world" and then had
checked it independently with
Western diplomatic sources and
with someone "very close to the
Austrian Government." Indig-
nantly denying any connection
between the coup rumours and
his desire to attract attention to
his new Abend -Presse, Molden
said: "If this story is true—and
considering our sources, the pos-
sibility seems extremely strong
— it is obviously the biggest
story of the year."
As for the U.S. wire services,
AP general manager Frank Star-
zel defended his agency's action,
pointing out that AP had made
exhaustive checking efforts and
had labeled it as completely un-
supported. Starzel said: "You
look sort of foolish not carr'mtg
a story on the wire when a ru-
mour is as widespread and mov-
ing in such high circles as this
one was."
But as the flurry of excite-
ment subsided — and K showed
up in Moscow, clearly as much
!n command as ever — UPI was
laking bows for its caution. —

Isn't it great that we are still
having .such wonderful weather
— wonderful for getting last
minute jobs done and for going
places? Tuesday I went to Mil-
ton to help my "alma mater"
W.I. in that district with a quilt
they were doing as a money-
making project. It was spitting
with rain when I started but it
was a regular deluge before I
got there—and even worse com-
ing back — thunder and light-
ning. But we were not worrying
about the weather while we
were quilting. You know how it
is, you are far too busy talking
— and working, of course. It was
so nice to be back among my old
neighbours; as I told them it
didn't seem as if we had ever
moved away. Actually we don't
ever feel that ave have. After
all, what's twenty miles these
days?
The quilting was at a remod-
elled farmhouse which I remem-
ber from its pre -hydro, furnace
and plumbing days. Now it is the
last word in charm end conven-
ience and yet is still a genuine
farmhouse, functional but at-
tractive, with room for every-
thing and a kitchen that chil-
dren and the than of the house
can come to and feel comfort-
able. To my idea that is essen-
tial for happy home life.
Generally at a quilling the
women take a sandwich lunch
and the hostess provtc' es tea or
coffee. At this quilting the lady
of the house insisted on provid-
ing the lunch. She said she
hadn't gone to any trouble.
(Isn't that what a woman al-
ways says?) In this case maybe
it was true because the lady is
a born cook and housekeeper so,
what might be hard work for
some folk — including nic --
may have been just a pleasur-
able chore for her. Anyway the
lunch was almost the last word
in good taste and simplicity as
the entire first course was ar-
ranged on a seven -section "Lazy
Susan" set in the middle of the
family size kitchen table. There
were jellied savouries, two cold
meat dishes, relishes, potato and
a tossed ...lad, And it was all
there within reach of everyone,
just by giving "Susy" a quick
flick around. I am telling you
this because it may give other
housewives a few helpful ideas.
But it could not very well be
done without the help of a Lazy
Susan. However, if there isn't
a
"Susy" in your house, don't
forget Christmas is coating and
Santa might get the idea. It
would also make a lovely gift to
a young couple setting up house.
Thursday Joy and the wee
boys were here and we went to
a very special shopping centre,
mostly to look around. After
lunch, while I was choosing ma-
terial to make shorts for Dave,
Ross and Cedric started playing
hide and seek around the dis-
play counters, shrieking with
laughter. The department wasn't
busy at the time and the sales-
lady seemed to get quite a kick
out of watching then, Another
time, in the toy section. we miss-
ed Cedric. He had managed to
wriggle out of his go-cart and
had clumbed into a toy motor-
car. Friday I went alone to e
less exclusive shopping centre
and -got some of my Christmas
shopping done.
Saturday Dee and her boys
\vent out to see the Santa Claus
parade. In the afternoon they
came here and stayed for supper
as it was Partner's birthday.
When the candles on the cake
were lighted the three boys stood
at the end of the table and sang
"Happy Birthday" to Grandpa.
Sunday Bob and family arrived
and we had another birthday
celebration. Partner had quite
a birthday but next year will be
even better ... D.V. ! Why? Be-
cause on his next birthday Part-
ner will be eligible for the Old
Age Pension. Getting back some
of our hard earned tax money
will really be worth celebrating.
Right now, Partner looks as if
he has been anticipating the
event as he has a very blood-
shot and inflamed eye. Cold I
suppose, but it could be consid-
ered bibulous if it were not ex-
plained.
For the last ten days we have
had an unusual and interesting
visitor almost every morning.
A huge hawk, no less. We have
not yet been able to identify it
but it must be either a Red -tail
or a Rough legged hawk. It has
a lot of white and a tremendous
wing span. Whatever the spe-
cies it is good to have around as
it feeds mostly on rodents, And
there is good hunting here for
cats and hawks alike. Ditto has
an unwelcome habit of catching
field mice and then bringing
them home — alive — as an of-
fering to Taffy. The hawk
perches motionless on top of a
pole or tree and then when the
time is ripe swoops clown on its
unsuspecting prey. Naturally I
ant sorry for the poor little
mice but I am thankful for any-
thing — cat or hawk — that will
keep them from setting up head-
quarters in our house

Farmer Strikes
"Parsnip Gold"
One Canadian prairie farmer
who became tired of growing
surplus grain now has his en-
tire countryside talking about
the way he struck it rich seek-
ing a partial escape from the
glut of wheat.
Trying a crop foreign to the
dry -land Munson district south-
east of Red Deer, Alta., W. E.
Williams is cashing in on it to the
tune of approximately $2,000 an
acre.
And his only regret is that ha
devoted but seven acres to the
outlandish pursuit of raising
parsnip seed. The crop was no
more work nor trouble to him
than his regular grain opera-
tions, which this year returned
between $30 and $35 an acre.
Early last year, in casting
about for something else to grow
besides more surplus wheat, Mr.
Williams decided to give a whirl
to some crop that no one else
in those parts was raising on a
commercial scale. And he struck
upon parsnip seed.
With more hope than confi-
dence, he planted the crop to a
seven -acre plot of his rich loam
soil in rows 21 inches apart with
a common grain -seeding outfit.
He left the vegetable crop in the
ground over the winter, and this
year it attracted much attention
as its foliage grew to a height
of around 30 inches and present-
ed a strange sight, states a writer
in the Christian Science Monitor.
Passers-by, not accustomed to
seeing a parsnip seed crop, could
not identify it as any grain or
forage crop. Many dismissed the
plot of ground as "just having
gone to weeds."
But when harvest time came
along this fall, it set the cash
register clanking for Mr. Wil-
liams — even though there was
no proper equipment in the ter-
ritory for garnering the parti-
cular crop. Mr. Williams went
right ahead and harvested the
crop with his ordinary wheat
swather and combine, hoping he
would obtain a good recovery of
seed.
The harvest gave him more
than 7,000 pounds of cleaned
parsnip seed. And then came an
even more fabulous surprise for
the happy farmer as he learned
the price for this seed ranged
from 1.49 to $2.25 a pound.
As a:result of 'his pleasant ex-
perience in seeking some escape
from growing more surplus
wheat, many other farmers on
the Canadian prairies now are
entertaining plans of producing
parsnip seed,

No Hunter Ever
Knew How To Read!
Once again the loud and voci-
ferous riot of fall 'foliage has
elegenernted into the duo-dwn
sof lenden hail nt the portals, and
the sporadic explosions of a
dwindling Gettysburg, I`l'ls the
ateason of the Noble Nimrod, a.t
tkhe sporting columnists phrase
it, and I have mingled feelings,
Well, when you've grown up
around the old farm, you speak
the language of the region. I
[have honestly pondered about
A'posting" the place, but 1 doubt
if I shall, In the first place, i'.
doesn't work. The evidence is
strong that no hunter, yet, ever
knew how to read, Some of them
appear to have very little taw -
eight at all, but an an)aznig
aibi1ity to look up and think they
etc something, whereupon lh:y
shoot your "Keep Out" sign fill
of holes with astounding accur-
acy. '!'hose who can rend, and
feel some obligation to pay at-
tention, immediately refer to you
as a bounder, and worse, and
expound some vague philosophy
that ownership entails a noblesse
oblige to share.
'Phis happens to be sort of so,
The game, if any, belongs to tale
people of Maine, and doesn't go
with the land. A field that hasn't
had a rabbit on it in 35 years
remains at the option of the pub-
lic, who may come at any time
lo see if one has returned. Un-
less, of course, the owner has
complied with certain statutory
demands, and has "posted" his
land, After he has done this,
there exists a public problem
known as "access," and the
sporting journals urge that acs
tion be taken.
I try to keep an open mind,
because our state does have a
public policy of wildlife pursuit,
We are, so to speak, in that busi-
ness. If a gentleman cares to
tour up here from yonder and
buy a license, which entitles him
to shoot at my corncrib, I am
supposed to cheer and consider
his presence a boost to our gen-
eral economy.
Another thing, I find it hard
'to forget that the old ancestor
elrew on this source of supply
in his time, and survived be-
cause of it, It took some years
to get trees felled and burned,
land smoothed off, and gardens
planted and harvested, His do-
mestic animals were few for a
long time. But the 'five mouths
he had to feed, a number that
increased as he went along, were
favoured by the wlldernesa food
that was here. He not only went
aj}ooting but he set traps and
mets, And' this wasn't actually
to long ago, He was in the pas-
eenger pigeon era, when flocks
of these birds came scaling in
so they clouded the sun. Today,
with proper American hindsight,
we lament the end of this spec-
tacular bird,
But just as I feel there must
have been some latent intelli-
gence in those people who pio-
neered for us, I find the modern
hunter lacks same, 1 cranked the
tractor the other day and went
up to haul another load of wood
tor'the boys, completing our fall
preparations for next spring's
work in the sugar bush. When
we got to the sugar house, tee
found some agile -witted hunter
had sent a shotgun blast through
the door. The door is just bat -
len -type, pine boards painted
red, and is entirely a weather
matter. T -he place isn't locked,
never is, and the curious may
always step in, Some hunter,
wandering along, had merely
arrived opposite the door, lifted
his shotgun, and had pulled the
trigger, The pellets pockmarked
the outside generously, but on
the inside they ripped away
splinters and stirred up quite a
reaction.
This was done, 1 suppose, by
somebody who would consider
nue unkind if I put up signs say-
ing "Keep Out"! It is the sort of
thing you don't see described in
the outdoor magazines when they
discuss the growing tendency to
post land, and urge the sporty
group to organize and fight for
access,
We also found evidence of
target shooting that same day
which merits reporting. The boys

tioned here as youngsters who

est in my woods. Their parents

and we got friendly over this
maple sap idea, Amongst other
things I showed them, I showed
them how to lay up the stone
fireplace by the spring, and get
it ready ,for their cooking. We
drove two forked stakes, and laid
a pole across, above the fire, so
kettles might be hung, I showed
them how to hunt an alder with
its branches just so, and make a
double -ender hook — one hook
over the pole, the other for the
bale of the pot. It's a woodsman's
trick, very handy. So they had
hunted for alders and had about
a dozen of these hanging in the
fireplace, all ready for next
spring's hearty fare.
Well, some intellectually re-
tarded hunter had come along
with a rifle and had seated him-
self on the steps of the sugar
house, and had methodically shot
at each of these hooks in turn.
When hit, each hook would
swing around. After a time, how-

Farming Snalces
And Alligators
!Mention (>1 a f'ar'1t) c()njures
up visions of cows, sheep and
hens — except in the United
States where some farms are
u,m1 fur the rearing of alliga-
tors!
:Alligator farms have flourish -
c d in the U.S. since the hegin-
11'llg of the century because al-
ligator skins are in great cte•
nand by manufacturers of all
kinds of high-class leather goods.
There is also a considerable
trade in live specimens, i'et al-
ligators have become quite the
fashion.
Although the alligator is un
American reptile, farming them
was originated by an English-
man, Mr. H. 1, Campbell. Right
up to the end of the last cen-
tury huge numbers of alligators
were killed every year by
sportsmen and farmers. They
were regarded as a 'major pest
because of their frequent raids
on cattle.
In the latter years of the
century as many as 300,000 alli-
gators were killed annually in
Florida alone, and similar num-
bers were killed in several other
states,
Campbell was a well-known
guide for sportsmen anxious to
have a crack at alligator hunt-
ing. Ile was known as Alligator
Joe. He realized that constant
}hunting was taking such a toll
that the creatures were facing
extermination. So he started the
v;orld's first alligator farm to
rear them in captivity,
He chose a site on the banks
of a small mountain stream in
Arkansas, at a point where the
stream formed a number of
small ponds, These were fenced
off, each with a portion of tl:e
adjoining land, to form a series
of separate pens. He knew that
only alligators of about the saint
size could be kept together.
Stocking the farm. was not a
difficult matter. Some he caught
for himself, but the majority
were supplied by other hunters,
who were keen to help when
they learnecl that a live adult
was worth more than they could
get for its skin, Eggs, too, he was
ready to buy — for they are
easy to hatch and supplemented
those laid by his own captive
specimens.
Once, having found a nest
with thirty eggs during a hunt-
ing expedition, Campbell left
them in a box in the bedroom
of his hotel while he went off
on safari for several days. When
he returned he found his hotel
room crawling with baby alli-
gators. No one in the hotel had
dared go in and pick them up!
For most of the year alliga-
tors are not dangerous and
Campbell was able to to walk
about quite freely among his
thousand or so specimens, keep-
ing a wary eye on the one or
two larger individuals known to
be bad-tempered. During the
breeding season, however, great
care has to be taken to keep
out of the way of, the adult
`„ales, They become very fierce.
Having laid their eggs, the fe-
males can turn nasty. They build
a nest of dried twigs, reeds,
Heeds and mud, and deposit
their thirty to sixty eggs inside
it.
Although a devoted mother
during the incubation period, the
female alligator's maternal in-
stinct forsakes her the moment
her offspring hatch, As soon as
she has seen them emerge from i
the nest she loses all further
interest in therm, leaving them
to end for themselves.
One problem Campbell had to
solve was that of hibernation,
in their natural stale alligators
burrow into the mud in winter,
during which time they neither
feed nor grow, As an alligator's
value is proportional to its size,
Campbell wanted then) to grow
as fast as possible, So he pro-
vided warned indoor quarters
with heated pools,' to which all
his stock was transferred in the
autumn,

about rattlesnake farming ?
When reptile skins were first in
demand for making leather
goods, an Arizona housewife,
Mrs. Holbert, decided to try her
hand at snake farming. She
didn't go for some harmless
species, but chose the deadly
rattlesnake. Rattlesnakes do well
in captivity. They grow quickly
it well fed (on mice) and their
skins are very valuable,
Not only did Mrs. Holbert
farm the rattlesnakes, but cured
the skins as well and made all
kinds of articles ranging from
shoes and hats to purses and
bags, all of which she sold in
her own shop, Properly tanned
rattlesnake skin is as light and
as soft as taffeta. She even used
it to make dresses and under-
wear.
