BISHOP PAYS VISIT TO BLYTII
CIIURCII
•
Rt. Rev Harold F. Appleyard, Bish-
op of Georgian Bay, paid his first of-
ficial visit to Trinity Anglican Church,
Blyth, on the second Sunday in Lent,
This was a service of holy Communion
at which he was Celebrant assisted by
the Rector, Rev. R. F, Meally,
The subject of his sermon was "Lord,
teach us to pray," Ile stated that often
our prayers are ineffective, neglected
or even abandoned simply because we
do not have a proper concept of God
and that he believed the ideal would be
"God, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
the man of Nazareth,"
He urged. that during this season of
Lent, we engage in a special school of
prayer forming our prayers on Adora-
tion, Confession, Thanksgiving and
Supplication.
Bishop Appleyard was guest of Rev,
R, F, and Mrs, Meetly for the day and
also conducted service in the other two
points of the parish, St. Mark's, Au.
burn, and Trinity Church, Belgrave.
FIRESIDE FARM FORUM
On March 6, thirteen adults of the
Fireside Farm Forum met at the home
of Mr, and Mrs, Alex Riley. The topic
for broadcast and discussion was "Pro.
fit or Loss With Machinery,"
All farm machinery is very expen-
sive. The cost of the small farm tractor
has increased by about 100 percent
during the past ten years. Much ma-
chinery is necessary as tractors, mow-
ers, or binders, are • required on all
farms'at approximately the same time.
(1) We think more standardization
of machinery is necessary. Sections
and guards for mower knives, bearings
and wheels should be standardized,
especially wheels for some machinery
should be interchangeable,
(2) Legislation _similar to that of
Saskatchewan should be introduced in
our province. In Saskatchewan in 1915
legislation was passed to control a sale
of farm machinery. It provides that
all dealers must back fully the war-
ranties on equipment and that licensing
may depend on their support of the
terms of the agreement. Only honest
men should be allowed to sell expen-
sive machines. There should be more
interchangeable parts for farm machin.
ery.
(3) Such frequent changes of styles
and models are quite unnecessary as
this increases the price of machines to
the manufacturer and he passes it on
to the farmers, Farmers want a strong
useful piece of machinery at lower
prices, and they wish repairs to be
more available at less expense. An
honest capable dealer is worth much
in getting service,
Mr. Hugh Flynn invited the group
for next week.
Prize winners in progressive euchre,
were: most games, Mrs, Don Buchanan;
and Jim Howatt; lone hands, Mrs. Alex
Riley and George Carter; consolation,
Mrs. Harvey Taylor, Don Buchanan.

WEEKLY FARM REPORT
(by J. Carl Ilcmingway)
Just a moment while I refer back
to a suggestion made at the Wheat Pro-
ducers Annual Meeting to the effect
that no eastern farm organization had
made any objection to government
about the removal of the requirement
for western feed mills to purchase all
grains through the Canadian Grain
Board.
I would like to state that the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture reported to
the members meeting of June 3rd, 1960
that official protest against this action
was presented to the Federal Govern-
ment from the O.F.A. While it was
unsuccessful in preventing government
from introducting the action, it no doubt
had some part iu. having it restricted
to a one year trial period.
Whether this move will increase pro-
duction of livestock in the West to any
great extent remains to be seen. Ap-
parently there was a certain amount of
grain finding its way to feed lots
through machinery dealers and I would
suppose most farmers who were want-
ing to feed livestock were already doing
SO.
What will definitely develop will be
strong competition between farmers to
sell grain, Whichever farmer will sell
his grain cheapest will be the one who
will sell. This means that his total
income for the year'may be up a little
but undoubtedly the average .intone
from grain will be down. This is a
hardship that most western.. f'a'rmers
can ill afford, t• •
While the problems of marlieZjng has
been to the forefront for the past sev-
eral years, it now appears that the
problem of mflk marketing will now
supply the basis of controversy. One of
the recommendations of the Milk Mar-
keting Committee which caught my
eye, was the "freezing" of present
milk quotas as for fluid milk. By so do-
ing, the- Committee pointed out that,
as fluid sales increase beyond the 'total
supply of quota milk, grade A milk
from the manufacturing trade would
be diverted to the fluid market at fluid
price, The gain on this price would
then be returned equally to the pro-
ducers of manufacturing milk.
This, no doubt, in a period of years,
could result in a considerable increase
in returns to these producers, but it
will not come quickly. It is also ap.
parent that the "freezing" of fluid milk
quotas will not reduce transportation
costs.•
t am not too well versed on the prob-
lems of milk marketing, and perhaps
my commnent n are not correct, however,
If t'tey stinnileto the producers to seek
full information, they will serve their
purpose,

when all of our doctors are so over
worked, "You sit in a doctors office
from two to three hours, awaiting your
turn for an. interview. When you con-
sult a doctor who will accept appoint-
nents, you are very apt to be told,
"we are sorry, but the doctor is booked
solid for three weeks."
Many other questions were raised,
which Mrs. Evans dealt with very gra-
ciously, although unable to answer all
of them with finality until further re-
search is completed,

WEER NOT WORRIED, MR, "K"
Mr. Kkrushchov, Mr, Khrushchov,
You really make us laugh;
When you are in the U,N.,
You cannot take the gaff.
You keep shouting and you holler,
Like a man that's full of booze;
And when they do not listen,
You then take off your shoes,
You say that you will bury us,
And no doubt you think you will;
But before the missile throwing's over,
It will be you who'll pay the bill.
Now, if you take the good book,
And in it you will peek,
• You shall find that what you sow,
The same you'll surely reap.
So go back to the U.N.,
'Keep your feet upon the ground,
Try and keep your mouth shut,
, And also look around,
You'll find the world not worried,
' They really do not care,
To whom you think your talking,
• Or whom you try to scare,
Now, when you start the missle throw-
ing,
And they're coming thick and fast,
You may throw the first one,
• But you shall not throw the last.
We care nothing for your talking,
• Nor either of the sound;
When the war is really over ,
You'll find us still arcund.
—George MeNall.

Science was used first in
criminal detection for finger-
print identification, Then came
the forensic specialists: Spils-
bury, Roche Lynche, Snaith and
Glaister. Crooks walked in mor-
tal fear of these men, and all
of them are responsible for the
fine art which scientific detec-
tion is to -day.
Not until after the first world
war did criminals realize the
strength of the test-tube police-
men, And one of the first men
to be beaten by the scientists
was Herbert Armstrong.
There was o n 1 y one other
solicitor in the town, and when
Armstrong married a childhood
sweetheart from Devon there
was every prospect that they
would settle down to a comfort-
able middle-class existence,
The area was a prosperous,
agricultural one, and Herbert
Armstrong's practice continued
to increase. He and his wife lived
very comfortably, they had
maids and a nice house, but he
was a philanderer, and army
service in the first world war
had done little to help his
character.
After his demob he used his
military rank and became more
aggressive and vainer than ever.
During the war Armstrong had
had a string of casual affairs
with various women.
Early in 1920 Armstrong was
dining in London with several
women he had met during the
war and in July he drew up a
new will for his wife in which
everything was left to him
without any reference to his
children.
About this time, as a keen
gardener, he was showing in-
tense interest in the removal of
weeds with an arsenical weed
killer.
By the middle of the follow-
ing month Mrs, Armstrong's
condition, physical and mental,
had deteriorated alarmingly. so
much so that she was removed
to a mental home as insane, By
January she had improved and i
returned home. But later that
month Armstrong purchased
further arsenic, By the middle
of February Mrs. Armstrong
was dead. The cause of death
was certified as heart disease,
rheumatism and acute gastritis
No doubt everybody, including
Flcrbcrt Armstrong, thought that
was the end. So it was . for
ten months,
On the last clay of 1921 excite-
ment was tense in the village of
1 -fay. One of its two lawyers had
been t rresled and charged with
the attempted murder of the
other. Armstrong like so many
murderers before him, was quite
unable to let well alone, al-
though his behaviour to the
solicitor indicates the actions of
a lunatic rather than a cold, cal-
c;ulatin! murderer.
On the death of his wife,
Herbert Armstrong had succeed-
ed to her money. For years,
however, he'd been extravagant
and it's clear that both he and
his practice were getting into
financial trouble, v1r. Martin,
the second solicitor, was in con-
stant communication with Arnm-
stronr Q.
1 -le was pressing him for
money and although from that
point of view Martin'; death
could have made no difference
to Armstrong, no doubt the
egotistical little man thought '
otherwise.
The two solicitors had been
on business speaking terms for
years. They did not meet socially
and probably Mr. Martin was
somewhat surprised when the j
flashy Major Armstrong sudden-
ly started asking him to tea. He
was, perhaps, even more sur-
prised when, on going to tea
with Armstrong, his host kept'
handing him buttered scones
with his fingers.
When poison first entered the
mind of Martin we do not know,
but on his return home from his
first tea party with Armstrong
he was extremely 111, and It
didn't take his doctor long to
suspect arsenical poisoning.
Chocolates were also sent to
Mr. Martin. They contained ar-
senic and the doctor remembered
the death of Mrs. Armstrong,
communicated with the Horne
Office, and her body was exhum-
ed.
Arsenic is one of the easiest
poisons to detect in the body, It
wasn't long before the patholo-
gist was able to state with con-
fidence that Mrs. Armstrong had
died as the result of arsenic. The
linings of her stomach and the
intestines showed all the usual
signs of an acute gastritis and
the contents of the organs were
shown under analysis to contain
large quantities of arsenic.
On his arrest a number of
packets of pure arsenic were
found in Armstrong's possession,
and at his trial he made some
futile excuse about using in-
dividual packets of arsenic, for
getting rid of individual dande-
lions.
If he had left out the word
dandelion he would have been
speaking the truth! lie was
hanged a few weeks later and it
was science that had brought
him to justice.
Old British Cars
Go To Junk Yard
For many who tasted their
first joys of motoring in British
small cars—the bables—of the
twenties or thirties, this is a
nostalgic month,
Of these early cars, the Mor-
ris eights and the baby Austins
have' outlasted most other mod-
els — probably because there
were more of them. Now scores
of these small cars which got
their first registration stickers
30 or 40 years ago are croaking
into scrap yards to be broken up.
They just cannot make the
grade under new compulsory
testing for vehicles more than
10 years old, which came into
force here Feb, 14, St. Valen-
tine's Day, 1961, will be remem-
bered as the day many parted
with their old love. From this
date it was illegal to use any
vehicle first registered before
Jan. 1, 1837, without a certificate
issued by an approved testing
stations showing that brakes,
steering, and lights complied
with the law,
One remembers those old ca-
ble brakes of the first baby cars
which often hung in loops under
the car. One learned to bring the
car to a reasonable halt without
much help from them,
The steering was finger -light,
and one bounced along cheer-
fully getting all the fresh air
there was through cracks in the
cellophane flaps. Car heaters
were unknown on small models
in those days, as unknown as
registration plates and driving
tests,
To learn to drive in the coun-
try, at any rate, one took out the
car, with any passenger who had
the ccurage to come, and rum-
bled along in second gear till
one could brace oneself to make
the charm., into high. It is diffi-
cult to realize now how few cars
one passed on the roads in those
clays, writes Melita Knowles in
the Christian Science Monitor.
11 is estimated there are in
Britain about 200.000 vehicles in
use which are 24 or more years
old. Since only about one-sixth
of the 1,500,000 which must have
certificates before May, 1962,
have been submitted voluntarily,
it seems probable many of the
owners of the 24 -year-olds are
resigned to laking them off the
roads.
Many of the carts due for the
scrap yards are covered with'
marks of affection—the pennants
of seaside towns which obscured
the view from the windows; and
instructions such as: "Push
here," painted on the back.
One big advantage which the
old-fashioned baby cars had was
that one always could put them
in gear and push or rock them
when the self-starter stuck, In
comparison, one feels helpless
with the big modern car if it
does happen to go wrong.
Joking aside, though, no one
really can feel sorry that senti-
ment is making way for more
safety on the roads,

TABLE TALKS
Qt' Jane Andrews.
Crisp fried chicken is one .of
the most popular of all dishes
and perhaps it might not be out
of the way to outline different
methods of achieving perfection
I in its preparation.
"Young chicken of any weight
may be fried, It may be halved,
quartered, or cut up to give 11
or 12 pieces -2 drumsticks, 2
thighs, 2-3 pieces of breast, 2
wings, 2 pieces of back and the
neck, Each piece should have its
own section of skin," says no Less
an authority than the U.S. Poul-
try and Egg National Board,
* •
PAN FRIED CHICKEN
For each 2 -21/2 -pound chicken,
bleed together r/Z cup flour, 1/2
teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon
salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper or
poultry seasoning, Place this
mixture in a paper bag. Place
chicken in bowl and pour 1/4 cup
milk over chicken, turning
chicken to moisten it completely.
Drain off excess mills. Shake
chicken, 2-3 pieces at a time, in
flour mixture in bag to coat
evenly. Save any leftover mix -
lure for gravy,
Heat '/4 -inch of fat in a skil-
let until a drop of water just
sizzles. Place larger pieces of
chicken in skillet first to brown,
slipping smaller pieces in be-
tween as chicken browns, Turn
as necessary with kitchen tongs;
brown and ccak evenly. When
Chicken is lightly browned, in
15-20 minutes, reduce heat; cover
tightly and cook slowly until
fork tender. Turn once or twice
to assure even browning and
cooking, if pan cannot be cover-
ed tightly, add 1 -tablespoon
water. Uncover during the last
five minutes to recrisp. Serve
on warns platter. ,
a ,
If you would rather fry your
chicken in the oven, this is the
method you'll find 'nest success-
ful,
OVEN -FRIED CHICKEN
Coal chicken with seasoned
flour as in above recipe. Brown
chicken pieces in at least 1/4 inch
of fat in heavy skillet. When
chicken is lightly browned, place
one layer deep in a shallow bak-
ing pan. Chicken should fill pan
without crowding or leaving any
pan area exposed. For each
chicken, spoon 2 tablespoons
melted butter and 2 tablespoons,
broth or milk over chicken, Cook
in a 350° F, oven until chicken
is fork tender, about 35-45 min-
utes. Turn once during cooking
to brown and crisp evenly- (if
chicken appears dry during cook-
ing, add more broth or milk).
Chicken is done when the thick-
est pieces are tender.
• , ,
BROILED CHICKEN
For anyone who prefers lender
young chicken broiled, the meth-
od is simple. Split chicken in
half lengthwise or quarter it,
Shape wings "akimbo"; bring
wing tips onto cut side, Place
chicken skin side down in broiler
pan (do not use rack), Chicken
should fill pan, one layer deep
without crowding or leaving
space, Brush with melted fat.
Season each chicken with '/1 tea-
spoon salt and 1/e teaspoon pep-
per, Place broiler pan about 9
inches from heat, regulating the
distance or the heat so that sur-
face of chicken just begins to
brown after 1: minutes of cook-
ing. Broil slowly 25-30 minutes.
Turn skin side up, brush with
fat, and broil 20 minutes longer.
Brush with fat several times
during cooking to give even
brown. Total cooking time: 45-50
minutes, Pour pan drippings_
over chicken to serve.

He Caters For
Royal Appetites
Meet a man who always rides
in the Queen's train wherever
she travels in the British Isles
— as chief steward catering for
the royal appetites. When he's
not travelling with royalty he
supervises meals on the line be-
tween Euston and Glasgow.
His name? George Holmes,
who has worked on royal trains
for forty-four years and recently
celebrated his sixtieth birthday,
But this pleasant -faced man cer-
tainly doesn't look his age.
When he first started waiting
al table in trains he merely
carried bread and rolls, He soon
acquired the knack of holding
six plates of soup, four in his
right hand and two in his left
and walking about with them in
r. speeding train,
He has had only one mishap
— when a passing passenger jog-
ged his elbow many years ago
and a dish of eggs and baron
slid down the waistcoat of a
company director who was on
his way to a race meeting, 1t
was bad luck, but the director
was quite cheerful about it, say-
ing that he had plenty 'of other
suits!

ISSUE 10-1901
Trunks, Trains
And Television
Everybody used to have a
trunk, I had une myself, a hand-
me-down from some previous
administration, but 1 don't recall
I ever look it anywhere. 1 was
just hunting In the attic for the
skimmers we use in the sugar
operation, and 1 had to climb
over a trunk that belonged, i
think, to Cousin Harricl,
Cousin Harriet, 1f 'twerc she,
flourished in a bygone era with
enough style so she remains a
family tradition. None of us to-
day ever laid eyes on her, but
we mention her occasionally.
"Use Cousin Harriet's cut -glass
pickle dish , , ," they'll say in
the kitchen when turning out
relish for the beans, And her
trunk, empty and tucked back
under the eaves out of thought,
serves now only to stimulate
musing on the general subject,
11 now occurs to me that the
trunk has been lacking in all the
period plays we see on televi-
sion. Now and then, in the mod-
ern morality of virtue triump-
hant, and so on, we see an old-
time railroad station where veri-
similitude is achieved by having
a steam engine puff up, bringing
heroines and desperadoes to
town. I don't remember, in any
of these plays, that sufficient
emphasis was placed upon the
trunk activity around the bag-
gage car. IL was not, I believe,
thus. Whenever you went any-
where, you look a trunk, and
whenever you coursed a "depot"
platform you had to dodge ex -
pressmen pulling on their hand
wagons of trunks,
We had a family uncle 1 can
remember who regularly made
train trips between here and
"out West," and he never came
or went without his trunk, I
don't know what happened on
that end but on this end we'd
meet him with the buggy or
pung, and lash his trunk behind
with what he called a rope but
we called a line. Then we'd
drive up to the farm and he'd
stay with us a time. After he
had enough of us, he'd pack up,
and we'd drive him to the sta-
tion and watch Hermon Ogilvie
shove the trunk into the baggage
car,
Uncle's trunk (we still have it,
too) was a massive thing all
brassbound and cornered, and it
had a rounded top, The donned
top on a trunk was supposed to
discourage stacking them, and
expressmen couldn't pile trunks
up one on another until the bot-
tom one got crushed, The trav-
eling public would sit in the
coaches believing their trunks
were all on the floor, but the
expressmen simply stood them
on end and stacked them that
way. A good expressmen could
stack anything, regardless of
shape,
Of course I'm writing this now
from Maine, where our rail pas-
senger service is gone and we
don't ride the rails any more.
And you can't take a trust; on
buses or planes, Besides, the
eye -appeal of modern luggage
makes an old trunk so thorough-
ly outdated you wouldn't care to
be seen with one.
But here in Maine we also had
a seagoing version of the trunk
which has considerable beauty
even yet—the sea chest, I've a
couple of t hem, too, left over
from many voyages, They are
pine chests, beautifully dove-
tailed, with hemp beckets and
wrought -iron hinges and locks,
and even now if you open one
on a warns clay you'll gel a whiff
of tar and spices,
No seafaring man ever took a
"dress suitcase" aboard ship, as
this was considered unlucky, but
passengers did. The seaman had
a 1:ag and n diddy box. And it
may be note for folklorists that
around Maine you often hear
dress suitcase in full, instead of
just suitcase, But I think the
ideal companion for a trunk was
really the "grip," This has an
interesting derivation. It was a
gripsnck, or a snuck with handles
for grasping, or gripping, and in
usage this was shortened. Uncle's
grip was a handsome piece of
leather, and added distinction on
any railway platform, and I re-
member once I saw him open it
and he had two pearl -handled
.45 Colt revolvers laid on top of
his personal things, This is the
closest J ever came to the rip -
snorting days of Leacdviltc, La-
ramie, and the like,
Since passengers on a vessel
weren't bound by the traditions
of the mariners, we used to have
odd suitcases and trunks around
here which came home from
afar. Now and then, combing an
ole] attic, we'd see a trunk made
with a camel -skin covering with
the hair still on. These may
well have been handsome in
foreign ports of call, but in my
lime they had become bedrag-
gled, and we'd hear the term, "a
bald-headed trunk,"
There was one story I barely
renumber about a lady who, be-
ing less hairy on lop than her
trunk, had tried some kind of
patent "tonic" to restore her lost
beauty, and by a grievous clums-
iness she had spilled the bottle
on her camel's-hair trunk, The
story went that while the lady
turned to a "transformation," she
had to lake the trunk every two
weeks to the barber's for a hair-
cut, I have no idea who made
these things up.
Nor did our old trunks open
up into spare sconi.s with shclvca
and drawers, They had a lift
lid, and then a tray which lifted
out. Uncle kept his souvenirs in.
the tray, along with collar but-
tons and his Bible and "Blue-
book." He also had there a tied -
up bundle of papers, one of
which was his deed to a quarter
section in "Dakotah Territory."
It now seems that whatever
uncle had, he had it in his
trunk, and the trunk is still
there just about as he' left it,
Cousin Harriet, on the other
hand, left a trunk which is still
empty.—By John Gould in the
Christian Science Monitor,

MANITOBA FARMERS' UNION PRES.
GUEST AT CLINTON MEETING
At a Farmers' Union meeting held
in Clinton on February 22, a committee I
comprised of Mrs. Robert Taylor, Mrs
T. Govenlock, Mrs. F. Potter and Mrs.
G. Hill was appointed to make arrange-'
rents for the annual variety night to
be held in the Easter holidays.
Robert Taylor introduced the guest
speaker, Rudy Usick, president of the
Manitoba Farmers' Union, who had
been speaking at a series of meetings
. across Ontario.
IMr. Usick, a farmer from Erickson,
told briefly of his recent ac'ivities in
his home province. Ile had attended
72 meetings in rural Manitoba during
November and December, the average
attendance being 90. There are 350
active locals in Manitoba,
Westerners tend to think of Ontario
as being a strictly industrial province,
and headquarters for many large cor-
porations, he said, while Easterners
1 view Westerners as being all grain
fanners.
Manitoba has less than 170 straight
grain farmers, Mr. Usick said, with
an income from livestock exceeding
that of grain.
He predicted that it will be increas-
ingly difficult for Eastern farmers to
stay in the beef business, saying that
the West has large acreages for graz-
ing, an abundance of feed, and a supply
of feeders readily available,
Western farmers are being forced
into a more mixed type of farming,
Mr. Usick said, because They are un•
able to sell their grain. This will in-
crease production and no dcubt Ontario
farmers will be affected and will pay
increased prices for stockers.
Mr. Usick strongly condemned the
government for its action in exempting
Western feed mill opera'ors front the
regulations of the Wheat Board.
This can only weaken the Wheat
Board. It will assist the commercial
operator, but be dclramental to the av-
crag° farmer. Grain farmers, hard
pressed for money, are accepting lower
prices for their grain from these feed
mills, who in turn have the opportunity
to go into livestock or poultry produc-
tion with a decided advantage, Mr.
Usick said that it was his belief that
wheat bought in this manner is being
channelled into flour mills, and the
situation is being exploited.
He explained that this condition had
been brought about by feed mill opera-
tors bringing pressure on the govern -
anent, and he urged Ontario farmers
to contact their MP's to assist the West
in its drive to have this remedied. Ile
said he could foresee a closer liason
between East and West in farm policy,
as there is an increase in problems af-
fecting both.
The speaker took issue with the idea
made prevalent by the Press, TV, ra-
dio, and some form leaders that the
solution to the farmers' problem was
to become larger and more efficient.
He said farm specialists shy away from
discussing "price" when in reality this
is the basic problem. Mr, Usick told
of a study made by his province which
revealed that 97 percent of agricultural
spending for research by the Federal
and all provincial Governments was
directed towards greater efficiency me-
thods and 3 percent to marketing artd
pricing.
"Governments talk form credit, crop
insurance, conservation, and marginal
land use. When are they going to talk
on price?" the speaker asked.
"Any overall agricultural problem
without pricing, is useless."
In closing Mr. Usick reminded the in-
dividual members of their responsibil-
ity 00 building a strong Farni Union,
He urged then to send in their mem-
berships and help collect their neigh-
bours. "The officials of your organiza-
tion have many other duties and you
Hurst make this contribution," he said.
Mr. Usick answered many timely
and pertinent questions from an inter-
ested audience. Mrs. George Clifton
thanked the speaker. Lunch was served,

Museum Experts'
Faces Are Red
There was, after all, no tv*
Of going about the business dis-
creetly, Over the years, thou-
sands of visitors had stopped to
contemplate t h e monumental
sculptures which seemed to sunt
up the terrible essence of war.
Moreover, art critics had won-
dered about them, scholars had
discussed them, and curators had
worried about them.
So last month New York's ,Me-
tropolitan Muscuns put on its
bravest face and announced that
for nearly 30 years it has been
exhibiting three magnificent
frauds: A pair of awesome terra
cotta warriors and a terra cotta
warrior's head. Supposedly Etru-
scan pieces from the. fifth cen-
tury B.C., they had been bought
by the museum in Paris between
1915 and I921,
Appropriately, the Etruscans
are one of the most elusive of
ancient peoples. For eight cen-
turies they dominated Italy, from
tho Tiber to the Po. Herodotus
writes that they came frena Asia
Minor to escape famine: an early
Greek writer claims they were
indigenous to Tuscany and Etru-
ria. No modern scholar has yet
succeeded in translatirle the
sketchy literature thee 1 ft be-
hind when their loose confedera-
tion of city-states hva< crushed
by Roman 1e^iens in tig• second
century B.C. Obsessed in life by
the demons of a bizarre religion
of superstition and magic, the
Etruscan., prepared their dead
for a hereafter of unending de-
light, painting their underground
tombs with moiling dancers, mu-
sicians, and athletes.
The artists who forged the
Met's Etruscans, however, deriv-
ed their sumpiu;us red and
black figures from the very real
world of military struggle. In
helmet and battle stance, the
larger 800-pntnd warrior stands
more than 8 feet tall, the smaller
some 0 feet 7 inches, The glar-
ing, helmeted head is nearly 5
feet high. When the Met bought
the figures they were in 258
apparently convincing fragments,
which were assembled and
shown first in 1933.
Experts in Etruscan archeology
have frequently called the terra
cottas suspect on stylistic
grounds. In Rome last week,
Dr. Mario Moretti, superintend-
ent of the department of anti -
guides for southern Etruria, saldt
"We've considered them fakes
Lor years. The shine of the var-
nish, the colors, the shapes, all
indicate a modern hand and not
ancient Etruscans."
It was technology, however,
hot stylistic analysis that gave
the ultimate answer to the ex-
' questions. For almost a,
ear, Joseph V. Noble of the

WEEK,
One U.S. View Of
Region In School
The sound and fury surround -
leg the controversy over religi•
ous observances in the Green-
hills public schools largely have
died down. But, we feel, the
issue itself by no means has been
resolved.
A small but militant and high-
ly vocal group led an attack on
the School Board's policy of per-
mitting the reading of biblical
passages and the saying of the
Lord's Prayer in the classroom,
The group, spearheaded by the
local chapter president of the
American Civil Liberties Union,
held that the policy violated the
historical principle of separation
of church and state.
We don't agree.
Let's take a look at the back-
ground involved.
After years at following an
unwritten policy of allowing
some expression of belief in God
to be made in the classroom, the
board in March of Iast year
adopted a formal statement of
policy. It spelled out the nature
of the observances: recitation of
the Lord's Prayer, a brief read-
ing from the Old Testament of
the Bible, and saying of a non-
sectarian Grace before meals In
kindergarten, The Board also
made it clear that no teacher
would be compelled to follow
such observances.
After the Civil Liberties
Union and a few honestly -dis-
turbed private citizens made
their protest, the School Board
held a public hearing, The senti-
ment overwhelmingly was in fa-
vour of continuing the policy,
The School Board, however,
did see fit to issue a restatement
of policy at the end of last
month. The new statement is
more general and makes no spe-
cific reference to the Lord's
Prayer or Grace before meals.
It is curious that the Board
felt it necessary to state that
the Pledge of Allegiance may be
included among other obser-
vances.
We have no doubt that the
objectors to the Board's policy
are well-iutenticned. But we
think they are dead wrong.
The founding fathers of this
country in their wisdom shade
certain that there would not be
established a state - supported
ehuch. They insisted that each
man be free to worship God in
his own way — or, indeed, not
to worship Him, But never in
their wildest dreams did they
imagine that their noble resolve
would be twisted to give ammu-
nition to those who would deny
God.
No one could have viewed the
inauguration ceremonies of Pre-
sident Kennedy without being
impressed, by this nation's firm
belief in a Supreme Being.

ed the blessings cf the Almighty

Our daughter must have had
quite a week -end, Here was l he
set-up, Art, her husband, was
sick in bed; she had two guests
coming for Saturday night din-
ner; Dave brought a rabbit from
school to take care of over the
week -end — and they have a
fullgrown c a t, appropriately
named "Mischief'!
Well, I have just got through
talking to Dee and fortunately
they all survived, including the
rabbit. Eddie and Jerry, just
nicely over chicken -pox, were
wild with excitement about the
rabbit, especially when it was
let out of its cage and given the
run of the house — in and out
of the bedrooms, the bathroom
and the playroom. Apparently
the rabbit was used to being
man -handled as he would run
out of nowhere in particular and
come nibbling at their heels, The
only one who didn't appreciate
the situation was Cischief who
isn't used to being shooed out-
side or down to the basement.
Maybe the visitors were not too
enthusiastic either, not being
being used to children — or rab-
bits. Art wasn't too happy either
but he managed all right by stay-
ing in bed most of the time.
Later in the evening when the
boys were getting a little out of
hand Dee sent Dave to bed and
put the two little fellows to soak
in the bath -tub, By the time
they were through the bathroom
was soaked too. But a happy
time was had by all. However,
as an aftermath, at ten o'clock
this morning Art was still sleep-
ing, and so were the boys; Dee
was airing and tidying the house;
Mischief was snooping around
from room to room and the rab-
bit was lazily nibbling a carrot
within the confines of his cage.
We also had a rabbit last night
but not the same variety. Our
rabbit was sitting on the front
porch sheltering from the pour-
ing rain. When 1 put on the light
all he did was hop off the steps
and took up a position on the
wails leading from. the house to
the driveway.
Which brings one to the wea-
ther. Last week we had every-
thing — deep snow, bright sun-
shine, rain, fog, and then cold,
penetrating winds. I don't know
if there were any flooded base-
ments around here, Ours, for-
tunately, stayed dry — thanks to
Partner's engineering.
Last week we had quite a run
of callers, including a heart
specialist with an electrocardi-
ograph machine. There seemed
to be no hope of getting a bed
in our local hospital — that is,
unless I became an emergency,
So this particular specialist came
out to me, It was quite a sur-
prise as I had requested the date
be postponed, However, due to
an oversight it wasn't, which, in
the long run, proved quite satis-

of it his prognosis was favour-

health depended a lot on myself.
(I was told that once before,
forty years ago.) "Gradually get
back to normal," said Dr. X.,
"find out what you can do with-
out distress but stop the minute
you feel any chest pain. Do your
part and then leave the rest to
a Higher Power," In these days
when there are SO many agnos-
tics and atheists around, that
advice was refreshing to hear.
T
ellen wonder if an atheist is
truly an atheist to the end of his
days. I suppose George Bernard
Shaw was. What a forclorn atti-
tude to carry through life. Even
a Buddhist can take comfort in
his belief of an incarnation, But
to believe in absolutely nothing
. . It is a state of mind that I
cannot even imagine.
The next day I gut wind of 0
meeting in connection with our
County Council and two hospi-
tals, north and south of the coun-
ty. We are interested in the one
in the south which was opened
since we came here. A marvel-
lous place, well staffed and well
run — and _ financially in the
cleat•. But alas, in size totally
inadequate to accommodate the
district it tries to serve. Plans
for extension had been submit-
ted and approved but the County
Council was still unable to sup-
ply financial aid. And yet this
meeting was not publicized at
all, Taxpayers were not given
an opliortunity to express an
opinion. We got the facts only
by contacting the Reeve of our
township. We were told a deci-
sion had been deferred •— for
financial reasons, not because
the need was not recognized.
Debentures would have to he is-
sued . . . more taxes . , , im-
agine the hue and cry! But
people who move to the suburbs
should be prepared to shoulder
these financial obligations. Wher-
ever people congregate there
must be schools, churces — and
hospitals. It is only logical it is
the people themselves who must
pay for them — by direct or in-
direct taxation. Yet it is a curi-
ous fact that it is only increases
that appear on their local tax
bill that homeowners really re-
sent. A government grant , , .
that's fine, it doesn't concern
them at all! How foolish can we
get?

Q. When eating in a •restaur-
ant and small butter pats are
served In paper containers, is It
proper to let the knife rest on
the pat when not used?
A. Never. The knife should
rest along the upper right part
cf the plate — and never with
the handle of the knife resting
on the table.
Q. I have been asked to be a
bridesmaid, and the bride has
already stated what I ani to
gear — edlour, style and so
forth. Shouldn't I have been eon•
suited first about this?
A. No. The bride chooses the
costumes of her attendants, even
though they pay for their own
clothes. True, this does some-
. times cause a little reluctance
en the part of the bridesmaids
but is the accepted procedure.
theSo much is written about
much bride's clothes, but what
about the guests at a wedding? I
am never sure whether I'm
dressed enough or overdressed.
1Vhat is the rule about this?
A. The best rule is that at an
informal wedding, the guests
wear conservative church - going
clothes and that the women wear
hats and gloves,
Q. Since I have just broken
my engagement, what do I do
about gifts and money that I
have received from friends and
relatives? Should I return thein,

A, You return the gifts, but it
it not at all necessary for you
to make any explanation for
your broken engagement, Simply
say it has been ended by mutual

Sound Advice For
The Stage -Struck
Next time Ian] approached by
a stage-struck hopeful ---or the
hopeful's apprehensive parent—
about how to break into show
business, I shall recommend a
copy of Bruce Savan's "Your
Career In the Theater." It is
sensible, orderly, and informa-
tive. Mr. Savan covers the main
show business vocations—actor
director, choreographer, p r o-
ducer, stage manager, composer,
lyricist, playwright, conductor,
set designer, costume designer,
talent agent, and press agent. Ile
describes the jobs in consider-
able detail and tells hon' io get
them, His advice to the players,
and others, is money well spent
Although not without interest
for the initiate, "Your Career in
the :}'heater" is addressed pri-
marily to the beginner—whether
talented or merely stage-struck,
In either case, the book's plain
speaking and practicality recom-
mend themselves strongly. Con-
sidering the hordes of inexperi-
enced young people who head
for Broadway every year—im-
pelled mostly by high hopes and
wishful thinking—Mr, Savan's
handbook should meet a definite
need, Here are some samples of
his counsel:
"When you decide to come to
New York, be sure you have a
hotel reservation, , . , What you
will need more than anything
else is study. If you are not al-
ready aware of the tough cohn-
petiticn that exists in the thea-
ter, you will certainly learn of
it when you get to New York,
. When you aren't employed
and (making rounds] seems 0
dreary and exhausting chore, a
part-time ,lob is highly desirable,
, , There arc employment
agencies that specialize in thta
kind of work,"
"I usually urge theatrical as-
pirants to learn shorthand and
typing, and to be prepared to
survive for at Least their first
two years without earning any-
thing in their chosen profession,
Many a theatrical MCA' has
been initially financed, a n d
pericdically sustained by the
ability to wait on table, And
many an actor has developed a
second means of livelihood to
maintain himself when jobs and
unemolovmc'et insurance both
run out"
On tickets: "If you want iici:-
ets for your own show, you must
buy them at the box office.

the -ter folk, »lease copy,)
On touring: "The less luggage
you can manage with, the easier
the transportation problems, ,

maid rr valet, leave your dog at
home."
On summer theaters: "A rain-
coat, boots, and umbrella are in-
dispensable at nest summer the-
aters."
On prcdacieg: "A successful
producer must possess certain
specific qualities, It is absolute-
ly esseetial for him to have the
ability• to raise looney."
On playwa'iting: "The proba-
bility of your turning your first
play into cash is a remote one,
To be bluntly realistic, you will
be lucky if you can get your
mother to read through all three
acts of ycur masterpiece."

Sir Winston Breaks
By TOM A. CULLEN
Newspaper Enterprise Assn,
LONDON - Sir Winston
Churchill, 86, and retired, is still
setting precedents. He has be-
come the first living British poli-
; tician to be impersonated in a
British motion picture.
This is a ban that goes back
to Queen Victoria and includes,
of course, all members of the
royal family.
Now Britain's greatest modern
statesman will be seen briefly in
A new film, "The Siege of Sid-
ney Street," but he will be seen
as a young, up-and-coming poll-
tkian.
To make a film of the Sidney
Street siege without Churchill
would be like trying to produce
' Hamlet without the Prince of
Denmark. Churchill, then 37 and
British home secretary, was one

policemen,
The gang had been surprised
by the cops while tunneling from
an empty house into a jewelry
shop, Scotland Yard concentrat-
ed its entire force on tracking
clown the desperadoes. This is
where Churchill, as home secre-
tary, carne into the picture.
On Jan. 3, 1911, Churchill re-
ceived an urgent messagethat
the anarchists had been cornered
in a house at No. 100 Sidney
Street. The gangsters were firing
on the police, and had already
killed one constable, raising the
total of police dead to five.
Churchill was in his bath
when the message came through,
he recalls in his memoirs. "Drip-
ping wet and shrouded in a tow-
el," as he describes himself, he
ordered out the Scots Guards as
police reinforcements, He then
dressed himself and hurried to
the scene of the battle.
"I must admit that convictions
of duty were supported by a
strong sense of curiosity which,

crouched in doorways under a
fusillade of murderous gunfire,
and wormed his way to within
e,0 yards of the house where the
desperate Sidney Street gang
was barricaded.
And for his pains, he was
severely criticized both in the
press and in Parliament.
Regal Films International have
gotten around the censorship
.ban by an artful dodge. The ac-
tor who plays the role is a dead
ringer, for Churchill. He is pic-
tured wearing the elegant silk
hat and the coat with the astrak-
han collar which Winston wore
as home secretary. Even the ci-
gar is t h e r e. But Churchill's
name is never mentioned in the
film,
In the film a little boy asks
his mother, "Who is that man,
mumlimy?" "The home secretary,
lav," the mother replies; but his
name has slipped her Mind.
The Sidney Street Siege, 30
years ago this January, is to the
British what the St. Valentine's
Day massacre was to Americans
of the prohibition era.
It began in mid-December,
1910, when a gang of Russian
anarchists, exiled in London
and led by a mysterious charac•
ter known as "Peter the Paint -
perhaps, it would have been well
to keep in check," he admits, ,
"There was a considerable
crowd of angry a'-1 alarmed
people, raid I noticed the unusu-
al spectacle c•f metropolitan con-
stables armert with shotguns has-
tily precured from a local gun-
smith,
"Just al this mcment, how-
ever, a shot rang our, perhaps a
duple cf hundred yards away,
followed by another and another
until there was a regular fusil-
lade,
"The bullets struck brickwork
and ricocheted hither : ;nd thi-
ther."
Finally, tl : besiege ; house
caught fire. Found in the ruins
were two charred bodies, a
Browning automatic, two Mau -
ser pistols and bomb cases. Of
"Peter the Painter," no trace was
ever found.
As for Churchill, he was ridi-
culed in the press, and in the
House of Commons, An opposi-
tion member arose to remark
acidly, "We are concerned to
observe photographs in the illus-
trated newspapers of the home
secretary in the danger zone, I
can understand what the photo-
grapher was doing," he contiliu-
cd, "but not the home secretary."
Speedy G '3wth Of
Great Airline
Froin 74,000 passengers in 1955
to 786,000 passengers in 1959,
This statistic, reported by Luf-
thansa German Airlines on the
eve of its fifth anniversary, re-
veals the most rapid rate of
growth in international commer-
cial aviation. The German air-
line established scheduled oper-
ations within the Federal Repub-
lic of Germany on April 1, 1955;
between European airports on
May 15, 1955; and to •the United
States on June 8, 1955, It has ac-
complished a ten -fold expansion
in five years, developing to mat-
urity with a speed that has out-
paced all other inlernntion'al air-
lines.
This rate of progress is es-
pecially significant bemuse of the
complexities in the development
of an airline. For example, Luf-
thansa's route network has been
extended from 8,000 miles to 58,-
000 miles. Trained personnel had
been increased from 600 at the
beginning of 1955 to 7,441 in 1959,
Lufthansa's school at Bremen,
the only flying school maintain-
ed by a commercial airline, had
graduated 194 pilots, 34 flight
navigators, 35 dispatchers and 31
radio operators. Ground crews
have been trained at Lufthansa's
maintenance base in Hamburg.
The German airline's fleet has
multiplied from 13 aircraft to 49
aircraft. Maintenance bases and
ground service facilities have
been established and expanded
to keep pace with Lufthansa's
progress; and sales and service
officers and personnel have in-
creased correspondingly to ac-.
commodate passengers, t r a v e l
agents and shippers.
Currently, Lufthansa's fleet
consists of 32 passenger aircraft,
including 3 Boeing B-707-430
"Intercontinental" jets, Two ad-
ditional Boeing "Intercontinent-
al" jets, and 4 Boeing B -720-B
medium range jets are scheduled
for delivery in the near future.
Lufthansa's world network
serves a total of 41 cities in 26
countries on 5 continents. Sche-
duled non-stop jet service be-
tween New York and Frankfurt
was introduced on March 17,
1060; service from San Francisco
via Montreal to Paris and Frank-
furt was inaugurated on May 13,
1960; and from Chicago non-stop
to Paris and Frankfurt on May
14, 1960.
Lufthansa also provides sche-
duled daily service across the
South Atlantic to Montivideo,
Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires
and Santiago de Chile, and main-
tains scheduled air service to
Baghdad, Teheran, Damascus and
Cairo, The airline has recently
branched out to Karachi, Calcut-
ta and Bangkok.
Lufthansa's cargo operations
have risen sharply. The Ger-
man airline's cargo -carrying ca-
pacity on the North Atlantic
route totals over one million
pounds per month, with connect-
ing service to the Middle and
Far East and Africa, as well as
to all parts of Europe. Cargo
service is maintained also to
Great Britain, within Germany,
and to other European points.
Despite the fact that scheduled
jet service was not available un-
til the end of the period, Luf-
thansa's operations for the first
quarter of 1960 indicated a con-
tinuation of its record -making
rate of growth. During, this pe-
riod, 195,000 passengers were
flown across the North Atlantic,
as compared with 125,000 during
the first quarter of 1959: 2,830
tons of freight were transported,
as against 1,749 tons in the first
quarter of the previous year.

Beats Men At
Their Own Game
, For years, Louise Suggs argued
that the top women golfers could
beat the top men if everyone had
an equal opportunity to reach
the green in one shot. Eliminate
the men's strength off the tee,
she insisted, and the girls would
win.
At the Royal Poinciana
tational in Palm Beach last
month, Miss Suggs, leading
money -winner on the 1960 wo-
men's pro tour, proved her point.
She shot 156 over 54 holes on
a par -three course and defeated
twelve top male pros. Sam
Snead, who can outdrive Miss
Suggs by 100 yards, shot no bet-
ter than 158,
