FIRESIDE FARM FORUM
On January 16111, 11 adults of the
Fireside Farm Forum met at the
home of Mr, and Mrs., Jim Howatt to
discuss "A National Price Policy,"
The majority are opposed to this
idea with set prices and quotas for all
farmers produce sounds too much like
Russia. We know we will have difficul•
Gies in disposing of our surplus products
at a reasonable price as long as, our
standard of living is so much higher
than thain most places In Europe and
Asia. The people in Agriculture 'are
having our standard of living lowered
because of lower ,Income and the price
squeezed, while the manufacturers' are
raising their standard of living as they
are better paid for their work and
money invested.
Mrs. Hugh Flynn invited the group
for next week.

I The Blyth Legionnaires journeyed to
Lucknow on Monday night to renew
their hockey war of last year with the
boys from the Sepoy town.
From all reports the game was a ding
Bong battle from the first whistle, and
at the end the two leans had battled
to a 6.6 lie,
The big gun for the Legionnaires was
Jim Foster, firing 3 counters past the
Lucknow goalie. Daer, Smythe and D.
Campbell, each tallied once,
Lucknow returns to Blyth this Friday
night so local fans must make a special
effort to attend the game and help
cheer the boys on to victory.
Monkton 8 Blyth 3
The Legionnaires proved to be very
poor "mudders" last Friday night as
they went down to defeat at the hands
of Monkton.
When the team arrived at the Monk -
ton arena the ice surface was complete-
ly covered with water. The two teams
went on the ice for their pre game
wat•ni up and then the arena officials
scooped the slush off before the game
started. This helped playing conditions
slightly, but passing and accurate
shooting were practically impossible.
Goal scorers for Blyth were: Foster
with 2 and Coultes 1,
BANTAMS MADE FAST START
The Blyth Lions Club Bantams got
their hockey schedule off to a fast
start last Wednesday evening when
they defeated the Wingham Bantams
by a 4 to 3 score.
Doug Warwick led the Blyth attack
with 3 goals, with Torn Heffron scoriqg
the other marker.
The local boys have every right to be
proud, as this was the first time the,
Wingham team has been defeated this
year.
Schedule:
Jan. 20 Blyth at Lucknow.
Jan. 23 Kincardine at Blyth.
Jan. 27 Blyth at Wingham,
Feb. 1 Lucknow at Blyth.

Gracious Hostess
'.eaves White House
Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower has
tnlxed feelings about leaving the
White House.
At a luncheon party for wo-
men of the press some months
ego, she admitted the occasion
was In the nature of a farewell
—and her eyes glistened with
tears. .
Not that she regrets relin-
quishing the title and duties of
First Lady, It's not that, but it
marks the end of a historic
episode, and her emotion is one
of sentiment rather than sadness,
She has been spending more
and more time at the Eisenhower
home in Gettysburg these past
four years, Practically all of her
personal possessions have been
moved there. Moving out of the
White House, for that reason,
will be far less of a change for
her than many previous first
ladies,
Mamie Eisenhower has been a
First Lady with a strong sense
of history. It was the first thing
that awed her, on coning to live
in the White House—that feeling
of "being a part of history," as
the once put it to a friend,
Evidence of her feeling is the
energetic way in which she went
about securing missing china
representing previous White
House tenants. 'Through her ef-
forts the record is now complete
with pieces of china from the
Coolidge, Harding, Taft, and
Johnson families so that every
administration is now represent-
ed in the display on the ground
floor.
The Eisenhowers themselves
are leaving as their contribution
the stunning pieces of gold cas-
tleton china used at White
House dinners during their oc-
cupancy.
Mamie Eisenhower will carry
with her into retirement the
•pemories of one of the most
,1
lamorous social eras the White
ouse has ever known. No
president and First Lady have
Over entertained as many high-
ranking foreign guests as the
Eisenhowers.
And when it comes to enter-
taining Mrs. Eisenhower is a
perfectionist. 'Everything must
be in place, with not even the
ljerush of a footprint on the rug,
No one underestimated her feel-
ings on this score.
• Newswomen who carne to view
the table decorations before a
state dinner were invariably and
firmly cautioned by Mrs. Mary
Jane McCaffree, Mrs. Eisenhow-
er's social secretary, "not to step
on the rug;"
Mamie Eisenhower will go
down in history as one of the
most gracious hostesses t h e
-White House has ever had. She
had a gift for making a guest
feel welcome. And when feted
at luncheon after luncheon and
fashion show after fashion show,
she always had managed to con-
vey the impression of genuine
enjoyment.
Her radiant smile and 'warm,
friendly way of greeting people
put every guest at ease and
somehow made him feel he is a
V.I.P., whatever his social or
official status.
In addition to the kings and

potentates greeted by 11a oo
Eisenhower during her White
House tenure were the residents
of institutions and homes for the
aged in the Washington area, for
wham she gave a garden party.
The first party of its kind ever
held at the executive mansion,
writes Josephine Ripley in the
Christian Science Monitor.
Nor did she forget the wives
of members of the Marine Band
and orchestra who play for so-
cial functions at the White
House. They were her special
guests at tea only recently—the
first time in thirty years, it was
said, that wives of the (musicians
have been entertained at the
White House.
One unusual White House
guest, some years ago, was the
wife of a soldier in Korea whose
imitation to tea with the First
Lady followed receipt of a leiter
from the soldier requesting the
invitation as a kind of Christmas
present for his wife.
While the women of the press
were disappointed that Mrs.
Eisenhower did not hold press
conferences, they owe to the
present First Lady the only in -
invitation they ever had to a
formal luncheon at the White
House, complete with the best
china, elaborate table decora-
tions, and White House special-
ties on the menu,
Fashionwise Mrs. Eisenhower
has dressed to suit her own
style, and always been listed
among the "ten best -dressed wo-
men." Her clothes have been
smart and simple in design, full -
skirted and generally colorful.
She likes colors and wears them
well, even bright red,
Because she is petite she
chooses small hats, And if she
has established a fashion trade-
mark of her own it is in the
colored gloves often chosen to
match these hats.
In decor her liking for pink Is
well known. An article in the
current issue of Good House-
keeping tells of a White House
servant who was sent out to buy
some flannel for bags to cover
the mops.
When he returned with pink
flannel the housekeeper express-
ed surprise, "But everything else
around here is pink," he said,
"so we may as well have pink
mops."
Many events, personal as well
as political, have marked the
Eisenhower tenancy of the.White
House. Mrs, Eisenhower has seen
her husband recover from two
illnesses during the past eight
years; she has known the thrill
of having a grandchild born at
this famous address.
Now, moving to Gettysburg
will be "just going home"—to a
private life at long last.

Well, 1 suppose everyone
within a fifty mile radius of
Toronto has been experimenting
with television's Channel 9 over
the week -end. And with different
results, I imagine. We don't quite
understand what is happening
here. When the new station was
experimenting we sometimes
turned on Channel 9 and got the
test pattern as clear as a bell.
On New Year's night we tuned
in just as we had done before
but ... no picture. We turned
the nobs this way and that with-
out any satisfactory result. And
then, by sheer accident, we sud-
denly found we could get Chan-
nel 9 programmes quite clearly
on Channel 8! Probably the
aerial needs adjusting to bring
in the new wave length but we
don't want to take a chance on
not getting the other stations so
we'll just •wait for awhile and
see what happens. We are still
able to get Channel 6 without
too much interference.
Looking over the week's pro-
gramming we are glad to see

Channel 9 has a newscast at ten -
thirty. That means we can get
to bed half an hour earlier. We
always like to get the news
summary before retiring (es-
pecially now) but sometimes it
is an awful struggle to keep
awake. In the afternoon we now
get a woman broadcaster giving
the news. That is a change. We
like her — she is quite good.
Altogether we are well satisfied
to have another local outlet, Not
that we have had too many
complaints about the C.B.C. but
we think competition should im-
prove the programmes all round,
One thing is• certain The Asso-
ciation for Retarded Children
must have got quite a shot in
the arm by the C.F.T.O, mara-
thon Broadcast. And that is all
to the good.
First thing we know there
won't be any excitement at all.
The Festive season is a thing
of the past: the new T.V, station
is on the air, so I guess we can
all settle down to normal living.
Or can we? You never know.
The start of the new year could
hardly be called auspicious in
regard to world affairs, Cold
wars, hot wars and rumours of
wars. What a world we live in.
And yet our everybody life goes
on much as usual.
In that respect we have been
doing quite a stint of baby-sit-
ting lately — for family and
neighbours. Ross and Cedric
were here yesterday as Mummy
and Daddy were going out to
dinner. They weren't any trouble
at all. Thank goodness all .our
grandsons have now reached the
age when they don't indulge in
crying spells when their parents
leave them. How tunes change,
even with children. Just recent-
ly I have been browsing over a
couple of diary -account books —
1921-22. That was when we lived
on the Saskatchewan prairie .I
had forgotten Dorothy was late
in walking; took her first steps
at 17 months and had only four
teeth at a'year old. Nowadays a
baby is backward if he doesn't
walk at a year old or cut his
first teeth at six to eight
months. Why the difference?
What else can it be but improved
feeding? Dee had little else but
milk, cream of wheat and cod-
died eggs for the first 18 months.
Canned baby food didn't exist
at that time. However she 'grew
and thrived but at a slower
pace, One entry mentions meas-
les, Temperature 104 — and I
didn't have a doctor. She also
had frequent attacks of croup
and %vould go blue in 1ht lace
Our remedy for that was Veca-
cuanhn wine. Half a 1 ':e poen
would prpduce vomiting and
thus clear the bronchial tubes.
Another unforgettable experi•
ence was Dee falling while carry-
ing a glass. She cut a huge
gash in the palm of her hand. It
should have been stitched but
there was no doctor. The best 1
could do was phone a neighbour
who had been a nurse. She came
over and between us we got the
bleeding stopped. Dee still has
the scar as a niomento.
The weather occasionally came
in for casual comment One en-
try says briefly — "Cold today
— 45 below zero this morning."
Another entry — "Had a party
here last night — 12 haute.
Stormy, 35 below, team got
:away," "'Team got away" --
that's a story in itself l re-
member it as if it were yester-
day, Gert Siddall (the nurse)
had said she would come over
to help me if Partner would pick
her up on his way home from
the village — which he did, Il
had already started to storm.
Driving up to the backdoor
with the team and sleigh, he left
the horses standing while he
brought groceries and blankets
into the house. In that few
minutes a blizzard blew up and
when Partner went out the
horses %yore nowhere to be seen,
Presumably they had headed for
the shelter of the stable. But they
got lost. It was not until the
storm was over that Partner dar-
ed to look for them or he would
have got lost too. He found the
horses in a field near the barn
where they had run round and
round in circles. The sleigh had
upset and one shaft was broken.
You have to know the west to
realize how a thing like that
could happen — and how easy it
is to get lost. Somethimes, in a
storm, Partner would set up a
rope line from the house to the
barn. It was the only way he
could be sure of finding his way
back again, In spite of it all, it
was a wonderful life.
Children Should
Be Taught Thrift
Has thrift become out -model?
Is it far too old-fashioned for
the tempo of modern life? In
a day when almost anything you
want can be acquired without
the expenditure of a nickel —
immediately, that is — it won't
seem to surprising if many peo-
ple say they can't be bothered
to save money, and pay cash
when they buy something,
But thrift is not a dead issue,
although it could become one.
Take children, for instance,
Columnist Sylvia Porter asks if
parents are doing their duty by
instilling thrifty habits in their
children? Not as much as they
should. Children should be
warned against over -indulgence
in the 'buy -now -pay -later" phil-
osophy.
Can children save? Certainty
they can. Small boys are hoard-
ers by nature. Think not? Turn
out their pockets and see what
youn find, Look in their hidey-
holes and wonder at the loot
stored there. This hoarding in-
stinct can be turned to good
account. Tell them about the
great oak and the little acorn.
Or instill a little Scottish parsi-
mony — not the phtch-penny
kind, but the kind that says
"mony a mickle makes a muckle'

Went To Jail For
Smoking In Street !
When a bus cnmpanv recently
allowed smoking on the: lower
heck, it was stated that cn one
occasion a riot ensued when the
conductor ordered a lower deck
smoker to put out his cireirettc.
But smoking has caused more
exciting incidents than Ihat —
it once saved a ruler from losing
his throne,
1t oceurred in Prussia in the
ycnr 1848, when smoking in the
street was forbidden on pain of a
line and imprisonment for a sec-
ond offence. For a third offence
the culprit might find himself in
prion for five years,
Prussian workmen decided to
stage a revolt in defence of their
right to smoke in public. A vast,
vrowd gathered outside the royal
palace and shouted "Liberty to
Smoke in the streets!"
Officials wanted to call out
the troops, but young Prince
Lichnovsky realized that a mas-
sacre might develop. He ordered
a footman to drag a table on to
the balcony overlooking the
courtyard where the mob was
shouting,
Jumping on the table, the
prince motioned for silence, ')'hen
he shunted: "Your liberty bus
been granted," And then lit a
cigar, Smoking as hard as they
could, the mob dispersed to their
homes.
Exactly the opposite sort of
thing was happening in another
European city, and at ahnost ex•
:telly the same moment., The peo-
ple in Milan, who at that time
were ruled by Austria, decided to
annoy their rulers by refusing
to smoke at all. This deprived
the Austrians of a huge revenue
from tobacco tax. Overnight the
city was placarded and scrawled
with the warning: "Only Ger-
mans or spies smoke tobacco,"
The Milanese didn't content
themselves with sign -writing.
.fihey snatched the cigar or cigar-
ette from anyone seen smoking—
even from the Austrian occupa-
tion forces!
When news of the revolt reach-
ed the Austrian commander-in-
phief, he showed a fine sense of
Humour. Having ordered a free
issue of cigarettes to the troops
and cigars to the officers, he then
sent them all round the town
smoking like the proverbial
chimneys.
The revolt spread to the town
of Pavia where ugly Incidents oc-
curred. One student who had'
knocked the cigarette from a sol-
dier's mouth was shot on the
spot, What had seemed like a
childish gesture now spread like
wildfire throughout Italy. It
reached Venice where Virginian
cigars were stored. Then Lom-
bardy revolted, and at Pied-
mont the whole population arm-
ed themselves and declared war
on the smoking Austrian troops.
The commander-in-chief was
forced. to evacuate all his troops
from Milan and the matter only
ended when crowds seized mil-
lions of cigars in warehouses and
made them in a bonfire.
In some early American colon-
ies the Puritans banned all smok-
ing, drinking and kissing in pub-
lic. A few hardy spirits retaliated
by building bonfires round the
municipal headquarters. When
guards were sent out they were
attacked. In the end smoking was
allowed, though the ban on
drinking and public kissing re-
mained.
Just over a century ago there
was a tobacco riot In Edinburgh,
again touched -off by Puritans
who wanted to forbid smoking in

a very unpleasant odour.
After a couple of days of be-

of misplaced efficiency, Brown
is on record as having sent his
"best wishes for a joyous holiday

awaiting execution. Last year,
Brown got a Christmas card from
one Alexander Robillard III of
450 Bradford Street, Redwood
City. In what the governor's
press secretary later termed a
"tragic error," the name automa-
tically went onto Brown's 1960
card list, However, Robillard's
card was apparently intercepted
at his 1959 address — the San
Mateo County Jail -- before it
could be forwarded to San Quen-
tin Prison, where he faced the
gas chamber for the murder of
a policeman.
Smart Tip For
Winter Motorists
Here's an idea for getting out
of icy spots tills winter: Carry a
50 pound bag of chick grits in
your trunk. The grits are cheap
— only about 800 a bag — and
don't freeze like sand frequently
does. Also grits are easy to clean
up if some get spilled in the
trunk and, because of their
sharpness, allow better traction
on ice.
Have you noticed? The more
articles written explaining the
gold situation the more confused
the average reader gets.

Improving Fishing
A Costly Business
Wisconsin is a state where
fishing is looked upon as a final
bastion of individuality.
A man may spend all week
punching a button or pushing a
pencil, But on the weekend he
can return to the frontier way
of life — fishing through the ice
as the Indians did in the winter.
In the summer, he can prove
he is somewhat smarter than a
smallmouth bass in any of sev-
eral thousand Wisconsin lakes,
No real fisherman will admit
that it is slightly absurd to spend
hundreds of dollars on equip-
ment — rods, reels, boats, and
the rest — In order to take home
a few fish. After all, he can
point out, the fish themselves
are free, no matter how much it
may cost to make their acquain-
tance.
But now it develops that even
this belief is illusory. A recent
budget hearing in Madison dis-
closed that some of the fish
which Wisconsin anglers pull in-
to their boats have cost the tax-
payers as much as $180 a pound.
Gov, Gaylord A. Nelson's com-
ment, though short, sums up the
reaction of nonfishing Wiscon-
sinites to this disclosure, When
he was told by the state Con-
servation Department that it
costs Wisconsin 95 cents a pound
for trout and from $20 to $180 a
pound for muskellunge used in
stocking the lakes, he declared:
"Wow,"
In a state where more than
1,000,000 fishing licenses are sold
annually, even though anyone
I under 18 or over 65 years of age
can fish without them, politi-
cians are hesitant to criticize
either fish or their pursuers.
Still, Governor Nelson allowed
himself an observation.
"That's a lot of money," he
said, "to spend•for a legal size
trout for somebody to catch who
doesn't know how to fish any-
way."
Wisconsin maintains 22 hatch-
eries for the propagation of some
of the 150 varieties of fish that
swim in the state's 8,500 lakes
or 1,400 trout streams, Some of
these state -produced fish are
turned loose to take their chances
when they're in the fingerling
stage, but others are fed with the
taxpayers' money until they
(the fish, not the taxpayers) are
of legal size, writes Robert W.
Wells in the Christian Science
Monitor.
It Is the latter variety that
costs the most money. The mus-
kle, which is the official state
fish by act of the Legislature, is
especially expensive. He has a
voracious appetite. Over the
years, it has cost the Conserva-
tion Department an average of
$29 a pound to raise its muskies,
but in a bad year the figure has
climbed to $180,
When you consider that the
largest nluskie ever caught in
the state weighed nearly 70
pounds, you can see that the fish
is. worth his weight in tax re-
ceipts, Those used for stocking
stay well below this record level,
of course. Still, at the prices
given in the budget report it
wouldn't take many schools of
muskies to equal the cost of re-
placing some of the one -room
schools for humans that still dot
the Wisconsin landscape.
In defending the program,
George Sprecher, deputy conser-
vation director, said that the
percentage of fish caught is much
higher when those of legal size
are planted than when finger-
lings are used for stocking a
lake, But Governor Nelson said
that is not the point.
A conservation Department
crew can dump legal sized fish
into a pool, and, as soon as the
truck pulls away, the fishermen
can haul them out attain, the
Governor said, There':; a serious
question in his mind whether
such "put and take" fishing
makes sense.
Mr. Sprecher admitted the
point is debatable, But when-
ever the Conservation Depart-
ment tries to cut back on the
planting of legal -sized trout, he
said, the legislature overrules
the cutback,
And that, it would seem, is the
fundamental reason for all the
Expensive fish, A million fisher-
men, plus thousands of resort.
owners and others who need
good fishing to attract tourists,
represent a lot of votes.
And so few politicians in Wis-
consin are 'Shing to say a criti-
cal word about his majesty, the
muskie, no matter' how much
the pampered fellow troy cost
per pound.
Makes Clothes For
The New President
As the first U.S, businessman
to really size up Sen John F.
Kennedy, president Samuel Har-
ris of New York's H. Harris &
Co. can make two positive state-
ments: The President-elect is
'ultra -conservative" and his else-
tion is going to be good for Sam
Harris's business. A custom tailor
; who has heen fitting flannel to
the Kennedy frame for twelve
years, Harris last month was
working on his biggest single or-
der from the senator — a cut-
away, a black topcoat (both for
inauguration), and a batch of size
42, $225 business suits to pre-
pare his client for the sartorial
ordeal of the White House. It was
Harris who advised Kennedy on
the proper uniform for the in-
augural — Oxford gray coat,
iight pearl gray waistcoat, and
worsted gray striped trousers —
although hat -hater Kennedy per-
i sonally made the ticklish de-
cision to wear a top hat (which
may force Homburg -lover Eisen-
hower to do the same).
The role of Presidential tailor -
elect fits snugly on Sam Harris,
who came close to landing the
job in 1948 on the coattails of
customer Thomas E. Dewey
(still a regular client). A plain-
spoken, 60 -year-old craftsman,
Harris has probably fitted as
many celebrities as anyone out-
side of Savile Row, but exhibits
none of the publicity hunger of
some of his zootier, more flannel -
mouthed contemporaries. He gets
all his business on personal rec-
ommendations, has assembled an
unzooty client list that includes
the Duke of Windsor, Anothony
Drexel Biddle Jr. ("best -dressed
man in the country," says Har-
ris), and Senator Kennedy's
brothers Bob and Ted.
Harris and his staff of 37 tail-
ors operate at a posh address just
off Fifth Avenue but in strictly
workaday surroundings, with
piles of wool swatches on the
tables and the snipping of back-
room scissors plainly audible in
the front room, Harris executives
snake periodic trips to Washing-
ton, Palm Beach, and Nassau to
take new orders and check new
measurements on old clients,
keep an eye out for all fancy-
dress occasions. Harris's latest
social coup: Cutaways for groom
and best man at last month's
wedding of former Jones &
Laughlin chairman Ben Moreell.
His biggest order came from an
Afghanistan potentate who or-
dered 38 suits in one fell swoop
during a visit to New York a
few years back. But Harris's all-
time best customer was the late
banker -philanthropist. Otto Kahn,
who had a standing order for six
dozen white dress vests every
year.
Like most of Harris's clients,
and Harris himself, Senator Ken-
nedy will have no truck with
Continental or other extreme
male fashions, prefers conserva-
tive styling with only slightly
narrowed trousers. In fact, Har-
ris would be happier it his top
customer weren't quite so conser-
vative. The senator, he says, nor-
mally wears nothing but dark
blue or dark gray, although
"we've gotten him to brighten up
a bit." From NEWSWEEK

How Can 1?
By Roberta 1,ee
Q. Bow can I speed up the ,tab
M whipping some cream?
A. To whip the cream in re-
cord time, add six or eight drops
of lemon juice per pint (two
cups) of cream. Use an eye drop-
per and count the drops. since
too much lemon sours the cream.
Q. How can I remove the yel-
low mark from a porcelain sink
or bathtub, caused by the cane
slant dripping of water?

with pumice stone. It is the iron
from the water that causes these
rust marks.
Q. How can 1 remove ink
stains that were splattered 011
my wallpaper?
A, Touch the spots lightly vrith
water and apply a blotter, then
treat with some oxalic acid. If
the color of the paper is affect-
ed, you can touch the arca up
very nicely with some «'liter
colors or crayon.
Q. How can I encourage the
growth and health of my house-
hold ferns?
A. Every three or four months,
add a teaspoonful of castor oil or
two tablespoonfuls of olive oil to
the roots of your ferns.
Q. How can a stamp collector
remove used stamps from enve-
lopes in the easiest way?
A. You can do this easily with-
out danger of tearing, if you'll
apply some lighter fluid to the
inside of the envelopes behind
the stamps.

Making Patches
rhat Really Patch
The modern woman k
longer a drab little stay-at-home
with (tours to darn and mend
the fancily apparel. It's a speedy
age and with so much living to
be done, it is no wonder that
women everywhere are lool.ing
for a fast patch,
The fastest patch is the press -
on, This patching material can
be purchased from your variety
or dry -goods store in various
forms, There are round jersey
patches for knitted wearahles.
The sante material comes in
strips, packaged in several color
to a ci rd. \lending tape in
heavy cotton or percale is also
available in many colors. Denim
patches for jeans conte ready
cut in patches just richt for knee
and seats, Denim is available in
nearly every color seen in jean:,
and in a variety of sizes.
"My press -on patches don't
stick," is a common complaint.
A patch that is applied with
heat will loosen if you use e :-
tremely hot water, 'These patc':-
es can be easily pressed down
again with a hot iron. 11 you are
In the habit of using extremely
hot water for your laundry you
will save time by stitching down
the edge of the patch with e
simple running stitch.
Patches applied with the iron
will be more durable if you first
apply the heated iron to the
surface to be mended. Then ap-
ply the patch and press in place
with the hot iron. The press -on
will adhere longer to the heated
fabric than it would to a cold
fabric, Also, be sure that the
garment is thoroughly dry be-
fore applying a press -on patch.
For mending overalls, jeans,
shirt sleeves, and othee hard to
reach places, v: ithout ripping
seams, you cannot beat the old
two - minute sewing machine
patch. To use this patch cut
away the worn fabric, making a
neat square or rectangular hole.
Be sure to cut with the grain of
the fabric if you want a neat
patch. Then slit each corner,
cutting in 1/2 inch or whatever
you plan to make your seam al-
lowance. Next, turn the gar-
ment wrong side out.
Cut a patch from matching
fabric, making it an inch larger
In length and width than the
hole. The back of overall legs
makes good pieces to make new
fronts for the worn ones, Often
a piece of material can be cut
from a shirt tail to mend a
sleeve, Cut the patch with the
straight _of the fabric to avoid
stretching or puckering when the
garment is mended.
Now, place the right side of
the garment to the right side
of the patch. Place the straight
edge of the hole you have cut
directly over the edge of the
patch you have prepared. With
your sewing machine, stitch the
edges together, sewing around
the patch. Sew the cut edge of
the hole to the patch, keeping
right sides of fabric together.
Sew to the slit and then turn the
garment, sewing along the other
side, keeping the cut edge of the
garment with the grain of the
patch. When the patch is sewn
in, break your thread and turn
the garment right side out,
You may press the patch to
make it nearly invisible, With a
little practice you will be able
to match stripes and prints to
make the patch inconspicuous,
The patch can be made more
durable by stitching around the
patch twice instead of just once,
Trim away excess material of
the patch but 1 , i a generous
seam.
This patch 1' . the advantage
in being less 1. .Nlweahle because
there is no stil "t.ing to ,how on
the right side c,f the garment, It
is a speedy way to mend and the
garment due. n't grow heavy
with the added weight of patch-
es because this patch is but it
single thickness of f;,brie,
if your sew your own clothing,
try stitching a small piece of
fabric to an inside :cam, This
f;ibric can be used for mending
and will match perfectly be-
cause it will have been laun-
dered as ninny times as the gar-
ment.—fly Eileen Mittasse in the
Christian Science Monitor.
How Huck Finn Was
Almost Destroyed
Lett in August, 18113, Samuel
1.. Clemens — more accurately
Mark Twain, since that was his
nom de plume—wrote the last
page of Adventures of huckle-
berry Finn. 1Ie was on a farm
near Elmira, New York, where
he worked in a one -room house
built as his study nine years be-
fore. Photographs show a room
cluttered with a sofa, assorted
chairs, and the two little antique
statues which stood on the fire-
place mantel, There he sat writ-
ing on a small round table heap-
ed with books and papers.
These photographs [did others,
and friends' descriptions, picture
a presence which was impressive
even in that era of majestically
bearded authors, . He was
slightly above average height,
but his thin figure and small
delicate hands and feet made a
few who saw hire briefly con-
sider hint small, His arresting
head, however, teas dispropor-
tionately large, or perhaps its
features gave that impression—
the great cockatoo swirl of dense
gray hair, the high forehead, the
feathery eye -brows, the long
aquiline nose, and the big droop-
ing moustache. Many have men-
tioned the piercing quality of his
eyes, which glinted sternly or
quizzically from beneath lower-
ed lids. His dress for the time
was dazzling; though other
American men wore dark suits
the year round, in summer he
wore suits of spotless white.
As he finished each page his
habit was to drop it to the floor
to join others written that day.
Late in the afternoon he gather-
ed and stacked the pages, prob-
ably counted them (since he was
always Interested in the day's
output), and carried them over
to the farmhouse where his wife
and daughters awaited his ar-
rival.
On the last page of the novel
Huck in his role of narrator ex-
pressed vast relief upon finish-
ing his story. His creator must
have shared this sentiment as he
did many others of this charac-
ter, for he had composed the
novel haltingly and slowly, He
had started it rather more than
seven years before, had written
about four hundred pages, and
had wavered between burning
and pigeon -holing then. Luck-
ily he had put then aside. On
returning to them now and then
he had found that he could add
pages, Finally that summer in a
great spurt of creation he had
completed the manuscript,
There is no evidence that he
felt that the moment was an
unusually important one, In re-
trospect, however, it is possible
to Eee that it was a climax in
Mark Twain's long career and
also in American literary history.
—From "Mark Twain Ss 1 -luck
Fiat;." by Walter Blair.

terials for the project.

way of cooking then together,
PORK CHOPS AND APPLES

quart casserole. Place apples,

way seeds and remaining salt
and pepper to water and pour
over chops and apples. Cover
and bake in preheated 350°F.
oven for 30-40 minutes. Serves 4.

Just a touch of curry powder
may be added to pork chops for
a new, elusive taste. Try it com-
bined with several dried fruits
with your next chops.
FRUITED PORK CHOPS
4 pork chops, 14 Inch thick
1 cup dried prunes

prefer to bake them, put cov-
ered skillet in a 350° F. oven.)
In either case, keep enough
juice or; water on chops to pre-
vent burning; when finished,
there should be just enough
sauce to coat the fruit.

Dirty Filters
Cost You Money
Ilomcowners can save ;coney
by checking their furnaces fil-
ters. Dirty filters can waste fuel
dollars, If you have recently
purchased a new home, chances
are you'll need to change the
filters.
1t takes several mouths before
all of the dust and grit from
home construction works its way
out, And fortunately most of this
dirt is trapped in the filter. if
you have a new home, check
your furnace filter at least once
a month,
Normally your ►sew home's
first winter will require .about
three to four filter cleanings or
changes during the first heating
season.
If your home fa more than a
year old, check your filters and
humidifier.
If your humidifier has porous
plates in it, they can be eco-
nomically replaced with a fresh
set.

light this month, iii 1900, the
countries of the Soviet bloc
bought 34 per cent of all expyrts
from Greece, a key member of
the NATO alliance. Six years
ago, the figure was only 10 per
cent,
One reason for the increase is
that Greece is not a member of
the European Common Market,
where the Greeks used to sell
most of their citrus fruits. As a
result, nearly 75 per cent of all
Greek orange exports now go
behind the Iron Curtain, a fact
that led Greek Foreign Minister
Evangelos Averoff to say: "We
have reached the point where
oranges ara a factor in the cold
war."
Wooden Figure
Has Strange Power
In the linlian Naval Museum
of Ln Spezia, a port town near
Genoa, is a woman who has
brought unhappiness to many
men and caused the death of
two,
Her naive is Atalanta and she
once decorated the prow of a
nineteenth-century sailing ship,
A golden -haired beauty, she is
dressed in n gown that has slip-
ped from her right shoulder to
rcvcal her bosom,
Atalanta'.s story begins in 1066
when a sailor on watch in an
Italian frigate spotted what he
thought was a human body float-
ing in the Adriatic. The body
was pulled aboard and was
found to be a wooden figure-
head. The name Atalanta was
carved on the wooden pedestal.
On the journey back lo Italy,
sailors of the frigate spent hours
gazing at Atalanta's provocative
beauty, She was so alluring that
the men quarrelled over her and
one was knifed.
The captain locked Atalanta
out of sight and, back in Genoa,
gave the figure to the naval
museum to exhibit with thirty
other ship figureheads, As most
of these were of muscular, war-
like women armed with tridents
and wearing helmets, Atalanta
was easily the most feminine and
attractive figure in the niUScunl.
In 1924, a Museum cleaner -
guard named Madrigo became
infatuated with Atalanta. He
spent hours gazing at her and
dusting her. His infatuation be-
came the talk of La Spezia.
People began to say that he was
mad.
The museum curator advised
him to ignore Atalanta and gave
hien other duties in the museum,
but always Madrigo returned,
fascinated by the figure.
Then one night after leaving
,the museum lie went clown to the
waterfront. Next morning his
body was found Boating in the
harbour.
His action was dismissed as an
unfortunate incident, and nine-
teen years passed before Atalan-
ta caused further notoriety.
In 1943 the Germans control-
led the La Spezia naval base.
One of the officers stationed
there was a Lieutenant Eric
Kurz of the submarine service.
He frequently called at the
museum to see Atalanta. After
a month he told the curator that
he wanted the figure and would
send a truck for it. The Germans
were in control and the curator
could not refuse the request.
For several weeks after that it
was noticed that Kurz was silent
and moody; he stopped inviting
friends to his quarters.
On October 13th, 1944, Kurz
failed to report for duty, Soon
afterwards he was found at the
foot of the statue, a revolver
clutched in his hand and a bullet
hole in his head.
Pinned on Atalanta's body was
a farewell note: "Since no wo-
man can give ace the life of
dreams that you have given me,
Atalanta, I offer my life to you.
Eric Kurz,"
For some time after the war
Atalanta was kept in a store-
room, then she was put on view
again. Despite constant letters of
protest she remains there.

Pearl Wear Now
Collectors' Trove
For many years Pearl Satin
Ware, sometimes called Pearl
Ware, or Mother -of -Pearl Satin -
glass, has proved to be one of
the most popular collectibles of-
fered to a glass -conscious public.
The various patterns in which
this ware can be found, plus the
ninny shades and combinations
of color which may be encoun-
tered, make it to many collectors
the most interesting of all the
glasses fabricated in the nine-
teenth century,
The earliest use of the sym-
metrical or controlled pattern of
air traps in a glass body as a
decorative feature — the basic
principle of Pearl Satin glass, was
made manifest in the Venetian's
intricate Vctro di Trina, '1'hc air
traps were formed by 1110 criss-
crossing of op:iqc white glass
threads imprisoned between two
walls of glass.
Benjamin Richardson, who was
considered the father of the
English flint glass industry in
his day, took out what we be-
lieve 10 he the eeriest patented
process descriptive of Pearl Satin
Ware in the nineteenth cenlury,
His invention for "Al) improve-
ment in The Manufacture Of
Aritcles In Glass, So As '1'o Pro-
duce Peculiar Ornamental Ef. •
leets," was filed July 2i, 11137,
and scaled antiary 26, 1853, The
process for manufacturing this
peculiar ornamental effect in a
glass body was quite simple. A
gather of glass was blown into
a mold which carred the pattern
in projected form. 'fhc result
was a piece with surface inden-
tations. The parison (the piece
still in its molten state) Thus in-
dented was clipped in fluid metal
to coat the exterior surface. The
air traps preserved between the
indented molding and the glass
skin provided the ornamentation.
Another method for achieving
this result was to place the
molded piece in a cup of glass
blown to receive it, the worker
then blowing and shaping the
mass further into the article de-
sired. The several layer's in each
case could be the same color or
of different colors, according to
the desired effect the worker
wished to obtain. Nowhere Ai
Mr. Richardson's patent enumer-
ations did he allude to giving the
article a lusterless finish either
with acids or sandblasting, as is
usually found in the later prod-
uction of Pearl Ware. — From

Woodshed's Good
When Power Fails
Upon arising in the gray light
of a certain a,nl., 1 discovered
upon moving out 01' the bedroom
that a brisk chill.pervadcd the
upper hallway and struck to the
marrow, Investigation in the kit-
chen showed that the electric
clock had stopped at 1.30, The
automatic facilities in the base-
ment, manufacturing warmth as
advertised, seemed to be still for
the nonce, and when I picked up
the telephone hoping to inform
our utility elan of a hiatus, 1
heard only a loud and prolonged
silence.
The power had failed, and it i,
pretty much the one thing that
can happen out here which leaves
us helpless, Later on I learned
that a couple of young blades,
cavorting in their automobile,
had mischanced in the direction
of a pole, and had brought down
in a tangle the expensive capital-
ization of the power and com-
munication industry, Even as 1
stood in the kitchen and shook,
the repairmen were assembling -
but I didn't know that,
Now we don't put all our eggs
in one basket, and we can make
out if a thing like this happens.
I still have a way 10 get water
In a pail, and 1 still have ways to
heal the house. The living -room
fireplace and wood -burning kit-
chen range are available, and I
]eft a thimble so I can move a
cast-iron stove in from the. shed
if needed. I also maintain a wood-
pile in the shed.
The woodpile isn't as big as
' it was back along, naturally, I
used to spend a good bit of time
in the woods in winter, with a
one-man crosscut saw, and con-
trlved to keep at least four or
)rive cords of wood ahead of cur-
rent needs, There was a time
schedule on It, because wood is
no good until it is dry, Easter
used to be an important date, for
the prudent householder would
have his wood in the dooryard
by that time, give or take, and
there was a kind of pride went
with exhibiting it,
Some years back one of our
xtenslon service experts did a
ittle bulletin on the etiquette of
ome grounds, and seemed to
find fault with the Maine cus-
tom of piling cordwood on the
front lawn, He felt this was less
hen neat, and that such exhibi-
lonlsm hurt the appearance of
he' homestead. This is bosh, for
the prominence of a woodpile is
Inherent in our ways, A wood-
plle on the front lawn was a
badge of Industry and foresight,
and you didn't need to worry
about anybody insured that way.
When you hid a woodpile, every-
body wondered what you were
burning. The better citizens kept
ahead of the fuel requirements,
and there was no reason to be
mum about it. A woodpile, to us,
Is a beautiful thing, Or was, back
when wood was needed.
Nowadays I don't cut so much,
But I do like to get up in the
woods for the woods' sake, and
putter around for what that is
worth, Instead of whaling into
an ancient beech that will run to
maybe two cords of wood, be-
cause I need the wood, I select
smaller trees in a thinning pro-
gram, and sometimes just clean
up down limbs. I take my lunch,
as I used to, and eat by the .
spring with the dog waiting his
turn, but some days all I do is
lop branches off pines and brush
. out places. There is no longer a
necessity, except to keep sotne
wood on hand for the ornamen-
tal purposes of the friendly fire
place hearth, and to be ready it ,
the power fails. By the time I've
got a cord or two piled up, win-
ter is gone.
Along in March, sometimes
later, I tractor the wood to the
house. The snow has settled

In, Now, It's exercise, and fun,
and an expression of doubt to-
ward the electric people.
But this particular morning,
with the clock stopped at 1:30,
and the thermometer on the
porch showing a reluctant five
degrees, the idea of a woodshed
full of wood appealed to me, I
pulled on some boots and went
to work.
First, I laid up a wonderful
blaze in the fireplace, I pulled
the wire screen far back, tossed
some "kero-dust" in, and racked
up an armful of kindling. Kero-
dust, Incidentally, is a modern
woodsman's trick -you take a
bottle of sawdust and pour some
kerosene into it. Screw on the
cover, and save for starting fires.
A spoonful of kero-dust will
touch off even green wood if
you lay the fire right, Then I
put on some whopping great
logs, and struck a match.
Next, I opened the damper's -on
the kitchen range, which sits
teamed up with our bottled -gas
stove, and loaded it, The gas
stove, of course, will work even
when power is off, but it won't
heat a house. I was after heat.
So I got that going, and present-
ly it was jumping up and down.
In the living room the fireplace
was rattling away.
It made me feel good. The
effort was paying off. They can't
stop me! Except that, just as the
house got warm again, the crew
repaired the wires, and the fur-
nace down cellar came on as

Before you buy fresh produce
or other food at the store of
your choice, it must first be
grown, some of it must be proc-
essed, and practically all of it
must be marketed at the whole-
sale level,
The marketing of farm prod-
ucts has become a focal point in
current efforts to encourage
farmers to stay in business by
insuring proper prices for what
they produce. One nationwide
coordinated program to help
fanners with their marketing
problems has recently been
launched by the American Farm
Bureau Federation in a project
they have named the American
Agricultural Marketing Associa-
tion, incorporated last February,
* * *
This, of course, Is only one of
many bargaining groups already
functioning with varying degrees
of effectiveness; but the long ex-
perience of the Farm Bureau In
helping more than a million and
a halt AFBF farm families solve
their own problems inevitably
focuses special hope and atten-
tion on this new affiliate,
In recent years, most farmers
have faced critical problems be-
cause all the farm equipment
and supplies they buy have kept
going up in price, while the
prices farmers receive for their
products have not kept pace,
This cost -price squeeze has been
a- dominant factor causing the
exodus of farmers away from
the land and into other ways of
making a living.
Aside from the personal dis-
locations involved, economists
generally believe this has been
a wholesome. movement because
-with the advent of mechanism
on the farts, and the progress
made by chemistry and tech-
nology in giving farmers modern
means to increase yields and
expedite their.' chores - all the
food and fiber needed by the
United States can be produced
now by comparatively few farm-
ers, •
But there is a point, of course,
beyond which the American
farm community, in the interests
of national survival, could not
be allowed to dwindle, (It's re-
ported to be down to around 12
per cent of the population now.)
There is also strong sentiment
among many Americans for find-
ing ways to make it possible for
"small" farmers to continue
farming in spite of competition
from bigger operators.
.a . *
American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration believes that its AAMA
may hold the answers for at
least some of the farmer's, for
some of their most grievous
problems, writes Helen Henley
in the Christian Science Monitor,
T h e American Agriculture
Marketing Association, trade up
of local state cooperatives affili-
ated with the Farm Bureau,
offers farmers marketing assist-
ance at the local level, but-
tressed- by experience and con-
tacts built up through the na-
tional association, It is intended
to give farmers a bargaining
power that In general they now
lack, The bargaining between
producers and buyers is not on
a national basis, however, runless
the affiliates so choose,
* * *
In some commodities, such as
tomatoes,, for Instance, farriers
might sometimes work at the
national level, so national pro-
cessors cannot use one area
against • another, At the local
weekly markets and auctions
which traditionally bring pro-
ducer and buyer together for
many commodities, individual
ISSUE 3 - 1961
farmers often find themselves at
a disadvantage, although this
method of finding markets is ex-
pected to continue for many
products,
In a special Interview at AFBF
headquarters In Chicago a few
days before that meeting, Dr,
Kenneth Hood, Director AFBF
Commodity Division explained
how the association could help:
"One man perhaps cannot sell
his apples to good advantage.
Fifteen of them together can
probably get a good price.
AAMA will work first in areas
where contract is the usual way
of selling, and where farmers
have no way of management,
"Right now our effort is to get
state affiliates organized where
, there are processing activities,
so farmers can sit down with
canners and work out agree-
ments." * *
A "realistic" price does not
necessarily mean the highest
price, farmers have learned, be-
cause prices pegged too high may
encourage farmers to produce
too much, or force buyers to
seek substitutes, It was pointed
out by Harold Hartley, Assistant
Commodity Director, Either de-
velopment causes farmers to lose
markets. Nor is price the only
consideration involved in bar-
gaining. Contracts usually set
standards of quality, too, which
are of direct benefit to consum-
ers. . • *
"Increasingly," said Dr. Hood,
"large-scale buyers contract for
volume with minute specifica-
tlons, They contract with indi-
vidual farmers, organizations,
and cooperatives; and they speci-
fy certain breeds, and certain
production and marketing prac-
tices. Buyers, are reaching back
into the area of production not
only with a package of know-
how but actually, in some cases,
has happened in the broiler in-
dustry, an outstanding example
of vertical integration,
"It takes a lot of farmers
working in unison to take advan-
tage bf this kind of market."
And the Farm Bureau believes
that the voice speaking for ''far-
mers working in unison" should
be a voice from the fanners'
own organizations, not from
labor unions which in some cases
doing some .of the financing, as
have undertaken to try to repre-
sent farmers.
Fruits and vegetables for pro-
cessing are practically all pro-
duced on contract, Dr, Hood
pointed out, and in the case of
vegetables, some contracts are
drawn up b e f or e planting.
Among other commodities tradi-
tionally sold on contract are
milk, certified seed, hatching
eggs. . , .
AAMA will at first give special
emphasis to three "target" com-
modities: apples, asparagus, and
tomatoes. The program includes
"organizing growers in such a
way that their associations con-
trol enough tonnage of each com-
modity to be effective in their
bargaining activities," Mr. Tyler
explained at Denver.
This would, of course, require
participation of a high percent-
age of producers in a given com-
modity.
A heavy measure of responsi-
bility accompanies such control,
Mr. Tyler stressed when address-
ing American Farren Bureau dele-
gates at Denver.
Foam Mattresses
For His Cows!
This was a wonderful Christ-
mas for the Friesian cows be-
longing to Major Anthony Bram-
ley, of Gosford House, Kidding-
ton, Oxfordshire.
Believing that comfortable
cows give the most milk, the
major has installed plastic foam
mattresses on which his animals
can laze in luxury!
It was when Major Bramley
had difficulty in getting long
straw suitable for use in bed-
ding down his pedigree milkers,
that he looked around for an al-
ternative.
-• Foam mattresses covered with
plastic sheeting was his answer.
These are tough, hard-wearing
and very popular with cows,
which have lost the urge to wan-
der around their pens.
Instead, they just nestle hygie-
nically and cosily on their foam
rubber, grow fatter and fatter,
and produce more milk than
every before. Laundering is now
a simple affair - the mattresses
just require a rub down with a
damp cloth.
It's claimed that this solution
to the bedding problem may
mean an end to the knee -trouble
that results from cattle sleep-
ing on concrete.
A company has been formed
to market the cosy -cots -for -
cows, so it may not be long be-
fore Britain becomes a paradise
for sleepy cattle.

"Can This lie the Christ?"
John 1: 21-30, 39.12
Memory Selection: They sail
unto the woman. Now we be-
lieve, not because of thy saying:
for we ha ve heard hint our-
selves, and know that this is
indeed the Christ, the Saviour of
the world, John 4:42.
We have an unusual scene: a
Jewish rabbi talking with a
Samaritan woman. The Jews had
no dealings with the Samaritans.
Furthermore, it was contrary to
custom for a rabbi to talk with
a woman. indeed, it was consid-
ered improper for a rabbi to
greet is own wife in a public
place. One of the fortes of
thanksgiving current among the
Jews was, "Blessed art thou, 0
Lord, who hast not made plc a
woman."
Jesus asked the woman to give
him a drink. Then he told her
of the living water which he
could give her which would be
in her a well of water springing
up into everlasting life, She
wanted such water, Then deli-
cately, he pointed out to her one
of the great sins of her life. She
had had five husbands and was
now living with another than.
Today in the account of the mar-
riage of one of the Hollywood
stars, one usually sees a state-
ment such as this, "This was her
third marriage and his fourth."
Yet these are the entertainers of
our youth. In most instances
when a picture is produced on
some Bible theme, the emphasis
on sex is prominent, as in Ba-
thsheba and Delilah, If there is •
nothing of that nature to exploit,
something is imagined as in part
of The Ten Commandments.
What is the reasons for so much
changing of mates in Hollywood?
Too much money? Or does the
playing of the sensual stimulate
the desire to make it real?
Whatever the cause, the effects
on the children are devastating.
The Samaritan woman tried to
turn from the ernbarrassin ctrl,
jest. She referred to their dif-
ferent place of worship; just as
many today bring up denomina-
tionalism, But Jesus led her on
the truth that He was the her.
She was convinced and,
leaving her waterpot behind,
went into the city and said to
the people, "Come, see a man,
which told me all things that .
ever I did: is not this the
Christ?" Many believed on
Jesus that day.
We must know from personal
experience that Jesus is the
Christ, the Saviour of the world.
Nothing is more disillusioning
to the do-it-yourselfer than to
now find out, via the National
Retail Lumber Association, that
the two-by-four's actual meas-
urement is one and five-eighths
by three and one-half inches.
