FIRESIDE FARM FORUM
On December 11111 Mr, and Mrs. Eric
Anderson entertained the Fireside
Farm Forum, with 13 adults Kean,.
The topic for broadcast and discussion
was "Quota Marketing,"
h1 our community the commodities
produced for marketing are cattle
ha;s, sheep, milk, Crean), eggs, pout•
try, turnips, corn, flax and beans. At
present we treed no (!nota control on
sheep, beef or loos, Only a small part
of Canada can successfully grow beans
front lack of suitable soil and climatic
conditions. So very little danger of stn'•
plus. Weather conditions and labor
shortage curtail any surplus of many
products. At present there seems no
danger of a surplus of flax or corn.
Growers of turnips need no quotas as
any surplus can be fed to stock, There
should be some control over prices It
prevent largo corporations squeezing
out the small producer, 'This might ap•
ply to eggs, poultry and pork.
The meeting for next week was can•
celled because of Christmas concerts,
and there would be no guide for study
and no questions for discussion, Mr's.

'J'IIE NMNEIIS FARM FORUM
Thu Niners Farm Forum met at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry linking
on Monday everting, December 11th,
with 12 Members present.
''1'he subject of the discussion, led by
Thomas Cunningham, was "Quota Alat'•
holing." of hogs, beef, 'milk and cijgs
In hulk, if they had a better market•
fug pinrt and every farmer was on a
form of quota, With an evcuer pricing
of all milk with all producers getting
the same price for number one milk,
and till surplus milk at reduced prices
we think it \mid be quite profitable
for everyone in the industry. We think
similar syotems could be worked orf
in other commodities.
In our products we thought a quota
would work. We think the quota
511001(1 he set high enough so it would•
n't affect the smaller producers, Yet
this way it would stop the ht; prOdue.
et's who causes surpluses. We thought'
the deficiency payment should be re-
tained. 'Tho quota should be set on
Workable acres with each bona fide
farmer being licensed and the quota
tion -transferable from f'ar'm to farm,
We thought there should be a limit of
production but no lowering of quota
or loss of quota tor failing to produce
your quota, e.g., 2 to 21a hogs per
workable acre la bona fide producers
with stiff penalties for usi1I3 anyone
else's license or marketing through
aeyone else's license, e.g., loss of Be-
rme or Micro there is no license a

Some Day Ants May
Rule The World
If human beings botch their
affairs, ants may eventually rule
the earth in their place. Undig-
nified, you think? Perhaps, But
ants are not so puny as millions
who trample them underfoot
Imagine,
They form the only societies,
apart from man, to indulge in
organized warfare and totalitari-
an practices.
Certain s,lecies raid the quar-
ters of other species with mili-
tary -like precision, seize and
carry off captives, and then in-
corporate them as slave labour-
ers in their own communities.
Theirs is a concentration camp
technique even Nazi Germany
might have envied for its ruth-
less efficiency.
Despite their lack of size, ants
also possess quite staggering
powers of territorial expansion.
In the nineteenth century an
Eastern species spread rapidly
over North Africa and Southern
Europe, even reaching Maderia
and Bermuda.
And then the invaders quickly
exterminated the smaller native
races.
Now an Argentine species has
caught the imperialist or coloniz-
ing fever.
From its original base at New
Orleans, this species has overrun
the southern United States, More
recently, its advance parties have
poured into Bermuda where they
are busy consolidating their posi-
tion by destroying earlier in-
vaders.
Some 15,000 different species of
ants are crawling about the
earth. They do not interbreed.
Altogether the ant kingdom has
untold thousands of millions
more beings than the 3,000 mil-
lion strong human race.
If our civilization goes atomi-
cally mad, some of these crea-
tures, especially those living in
cells deep underground, will al-
most certainly survive. In the
light of modern researches, only
a foolish man would place a limit
on the power of ants.
The fiercest of their carnivo-
rous species, the dreaded "legion-
ary" or "driver ants," advance In
dense columns, exterminating
every living thing in their track.
If they come across a tethered
horse, goat or camel, they will
pick its bones clean.
Their policy is more concen-
trated and ugly than anything
ever practised by invading Huns
or Tartars,
These killer ants never slack-
en, never abandon their restless,
annihilating spirit; it seems that
they are eternally on the march,
and what makes their march so
terrible and so uncanny is that
every member of their destruc-
tive legions is completely blind.
Acute powers of smell guide
them to their prey.
Ants, in common with human
beings, belong to different orders
or evolutionary gradings. Some
Species, like man in his early
days, lived entirely as nomads
and hunters, stalking, capturing
and devouring other insects.
But evolution, exerting invis-
ible pressures over thousands of
years, has elevated them. Now
we see them as pastoralists, cow
keepers and agriculturists.
A good example of this devel-
opment comes from Brazil. Here,
the "atta ants" live in highly
organized communities under-
ground.
An ant city, with its raised
mounds, twenty feet or more
across, may weigh several hun-
dred tons and house over half a
million inhabitants.
There is ceaseless activity
within and without. The work-
ers stream forth daily to collect
herbage. Some climb up trees,
others collect these pieces and
carry them fifty yards or more
to the subterranean city.
There they are laid out on
chamber floors to act, in their
decaying state, as fermenting
beds for the fungi on which the
whole colony lives.
Through this industry, millions
of tiny mushroom -like seedlings
spring up. The ants rnow off
ISSUE 50 — 1961
their heads, eating these tops as
their daily bread,
Scientists have tried in vain to
reproduce these ant mushrooms
in laboratories. In cultivating
their fungi the ants, it seems,
smear them with a fertilizing
ingredient from their own bodies
which is unknown to science,
writes A. J. Forrest in "Tit -Bits."
Eventually the time comes for
a young queen to leave the city
on her nuptial flight and estab-
lish a city of her own making,
Before taking off, she collects
some fungi spores, kneads them
into some leaf soil, and drops
this vital dowry into her mouth
pouch.
Then, once she has mated and
found a crevice where she can
prepare a bed chamber to begin
her enormous reproductive duti-
es, her first concern is to spit out
her precious mushroom pellet,
The spores take root, germinate
and multiply.
So the new city's food supplies
are assured. For the queen
quickly breeds workers, which
tend and extend these fungi beds,
so keeping pace with the colony's
ever-growing needs. That won-
derful cycle never ceases.
Dairy ants keep their "cows"
in underground sheds with en-
trances and exits so designed
that their domestic stock, aphides
and other insects, can't escape,
These creatures are genuinely
milked. The ant cowherd strokes
them with his antenna, causing
them to secrete juices of nutri-
tious quality to ants.
The ant's power of accomplish-
ing near -miracles without so
much as a second's training or
instruction is incredible.
The termite or white ant, for
instance, can quite easily masti-
cate concrete and digest wood. A
termite queen, when in full crea-
tive flow, lays 2,000 eggs in a
night, each one conforming to an
intricate hereditary pattern.
The nurses are born sterilized,
and soldiers with extra -large
armour-plated mandibles are pro-
duced to defend nests and police
the colony.
Many appear to be immune to
gas squirted by some insects as
part of their defensive apparatus.
And each colony provides for a
sufficiency of winged males and
wingless females — queens -to -be
—to continue the race.
Wars between ants are almost
human in their development
from chance incidents. Usually
battles begin with just a few in-
dividuals quarrelling.
But soon combative hosts join
in. Before long, the fight is en-
tirely out of control, as great
numbers of ants pour into the
battle, biting off the heads of
rivals or crushing their bodies
against stones and rock walls,
But the raids of the blood red
&lave -maker ants are very differ-
ent. These raids are planned
strategically.
Scouts go out first and ascer-
tain the position and strength of
a colony of wood ants or large
black ants, two species most
commonly raided for slaves.
These raiding ants split up into
three or more marching columns.
Each takes a separate route to its
objective. But, thanks to un-
canny planning, all arrive at the
same time.
Then the assault begins, with
the soldier ants leading the at-
tack. They burst through the
guards, enabling their support
groups to follow and help in
carrying away prisoners or com-
bating resistance pockets.
The captives sought are always
brood cocoons.
Warmish days are favoured for
these operations because the
coveted cocoons then lie in the
upper chambers of an ant hill, a
site where they are most accessi-
ble for assault parties.
These cocoons hatch out in the
raiders' city. Their products
grow up into slaves and accept
their condition without the least
resistance.
Later on, they even take part
In raids on the very cities in
which their queen mother lived.
So, you see, ants could take
over—if they get a chance.
The six-year-old asked the
druggist for a package of diapers
for his baby brother. "llere they
are—and no tax on these, yonug
man". "We don't use tacks. 11'e
use safety pins."
ELECTRIC CAR—Jack Eakins, district manager of the Cen-
tral Division of TVA, looks over the Henny Kilowatt, a
modified foreign car that runs on electricity. It is operated
by 12 heavy duty 6 volt batteries and uses one-fourth of a
cent's worth of fuel a mile.
EARHART "CLUE"—Fred Goerner of San Francisco checks
box containing human remains flown from Saipan, Goerner
says he believes they may be those of aviatrix Amelia Earhart
and her navigator, Fred Noonan, who disappeared July 2,
1937, on a flight from New Guinea to Howland Island
during a globe -circling attempt.
/TJam And.
ABLETALKS
The mushroom industry would
like to stress the point that
mushrooms should never be soak-
ed in a pan of water. To clean
then, wipe with a damp cloth,
or, if necessary, wash quickly un-
der a thin stream of water and
wipe dry. Mushrooms should
never be peeled; in the peel is
much of the fine flavor and food
value of the vegetable.
So long as mushrooms feel dry
and firm, they are perfectly
fresh. Small brown spots or open-
ed caps simply mean they are
ripe. Size is a matter of prefer-
ence: small and large ones may
be exactly the same age and have
no difference in quality.
At home, mushrooms should be
kept in the refrigerator. Fit them
into tall plastic containers, un-
covered, and give them plenty of
room, They will ordinarily keep
a full week,
Yes, they can be frozen, too,
but not for long storage. Keep-
ing them more than a month
makes then tough,
•
It is also important never to
overcook mushrooms, Ten min-
utes is the limit, and even less
for fresh or small mushrooms.
If you want to use them in a
recipe which must cook, say, for
45 minutes, saute or steam the
mushrooms and add them during
the last ten minutes.
. . .
Here are a few helpful equiv-
alents in weight: when a recipe
calls for 1 pound fresh mush-
rooms, you can use 20 to 24 of
assorted sizes, or a quart meas-
ure of whole mushroom caps
(measured when raw), or a 6 to
8 ounce can of niushrooni caps.

Before I came to Dallas, I
heard of the black pepper cake
that Mrs, Ernest D. Williams of
this city makes. I wanted to
taste it, and a mutual friend told
her when to expect me, so she
baked one for me—fresh, warm,
and aromatic. It proved to be a
spice cake with a little added
zing that is difficult to analyze,
writes Eleanor Richey Johnston
in the Christian Science Monitor.
"Where did you get the recipe
for such an unusual cake?" is a
question often asked her, I asked
it too.
"I really made up the recipe,"
she answered, "I used an old
family recipe for spice cake as
a foundation, then I changed the
spices—took a little away from
some and added a little to some
others and substituted black pep-
per for others. After 1 baked
several, I decided on my present
recipe as being the best."
*
Mrs, Williams bakes her black
pepper cake often because it is
a favorite with her family and
friends.
"I pack three lunches every
day for my husband and two
daughters—and all of them espe-
cially like this cake in their
lunches, It is really no trouble
to make. 1 just mix it, pop it in
the oven, and go off and do.other
things while it bakes•" she ex-
plained.
"I cook all my loaf cakes until
they loosen from the sides of the
pan," Mrs. Williams added with
the casualness of the natural
cook.
The Williams's two daughters,
Cheryl and Sara Jean, were lis-
tening to our spice cake talk and
they both chimed in to say:
"T he whole neighborhood
knows it when Mother bakes one
of her black pepper cakes. You
can smell the delicious, spicy
cake up and down the street.
Neighbors passing sniff and
smile and say, 'Another black
pepper cake!'"
"If any of the cake happens to
get stale, slice and butter it and
put it under the broiler for a few
minutes—it's really good eaten
that way," Mrs. Williams called

"The following is a recipe

Top News Story
Of The Year
When the Associated Pres cir-
culates to all its suhr:cribing
newspapers its yearly Ikt of ma-
jor stories for 19111, asking than
to designate which world stories
they would put among the 10
most important for this year, it
is virtually certain that the
breathtakingly dramatic seiziu•e
last January of the Portuguese
luxury liner Santa Maria will be
very close to the top of the list.
For this action, taken under the
leadership of Capt. I-Ienrique
Galvao, and designed as a world -
eye -catching protest against the
increasingly disreputable dicta-
torship of Antonio Salazar in
Portugal, was perhaps the most
startling act of its kind since the
end of World War 1I.
Nor was it the last act in the
bold Galvao campaign against
Salazar. Early in November, and
a day or so before the Portuguese
were to go to the polls to vote
without choice for a hand-picked
list of candidates, members of
the Galvao movement seized an
airliner in the sky above Lisbon,
circled the city while the secret
police watched in helpless anger,
deluged the city with anti -Sala-
zar leaflets and landed the plane
and its passengers safely in
Tangiers.
Facts on who Captain Galvao
is, and why he is such a hitter
opponent of dictator Salazar, as
well as an almost hour -by -hour
account of the Santa Maria af-
fair, are provided in the book
"Santa Maria: My Crusade for
Portugal" by Henrique Galvao,
whose interest is only exceeded
by its timeliness, Written by
Captain Galvao himself, it is a
fiery, fiercely felt shout of indig-
nation against the man (and the
system) who, for some 35 years,
has been running Portugal as he
saw lit and with little regard for
the susceptibilities of others.
Filled with the bitterness and, to
the Anglo-Saxon mind, the exag-
gerated language which typify
the Latin rebel, it is a sobering
account of the truly desperate
situation — from a diplomatic,
political, economic, social and
(vide Angola) colonial point of
view — into which the Salazar
overlordship has thrown a NATO
ally of the Western world,
Well known in Europe as a
writer, one-time governor of a
portion of Angola, once also a
hand-picked Salazar member of
the National Assembly, Galvao
broke once and for all with the
dictator when his fellow Assem-
blymen In 1948 refused to heed
his tale of the shocking condi-
tions prevailing in the Portu-
JIM
guese colonies (and which In 1091
burst forth into grttesotro war-
fare). For his courage he spent
seven years in jail. .Hardly had
lie been released titan he again
attacked the dictatorvitip and
was sentenced to 16 years more.
Escaping in January, 9919, he at
last made his way to c;0iith Am-
erica, where his planning result-
ed in the Santa Maris affa;r•, an
adventure which oceup:es more
than half the space in this book
and makes exciting reading.
More, much more, will be
heard of Captain Galvao, in the
near future. This book will ex-
plain why the dictatorship in
Lisbon cannot rest easy while ho
is free and plotting its downfall.
Dieting For
Good Old Siwash
At 344 pounds, Prof, Haig Der
Marderosian was a big man on

in the Back Bay section of Bos-

could polish off three or four

Now, all this has ciir:n;,cd,
Earlier this month, Nlarderossia11
went on a diet, His ohj,!ct: '1'o

"When we heard that Haig was

plained a college spokesman, "wa
thought he might as well do or

asked students and alumni to

pledges, including one from liar-
dersotan's mother, and another
from the company which does
the catering for the college cafe-
teria. His diet has already cost
them $60 in lost business."
By last month, Marderosian
(now known as "The Vanishing
Armenian" among joshing
friends) had trimmed off 321.4
pounds and was still going
strong. "I'm sure I'll make the
100 pounds by the April 30 dead-

Fashion Hint
These Birds Are
Cruel To People
The Royal Society for the I're-
yention of Cruelty to Animals in
Brisbane, Australia, was called
upon recently to investigate 41
complaint of birds being cruel
to humans.
The birds were Australian
(kookaburras and the humans
were Mr, and Mrs, C, J. San-
ders, of Brisbane,
Kookaburras, large birds with
Sharp beaks, are protected and
cannot be killed. Their common
name is the Laughing Jackass
because of their call, which be-
gins with a chuckle and ends
with a hearty laugh.
"They're no laughing matter
40 us," said Mr, Sanders, com-

It Is All Right
To Be Left-handed
Are you right - handed? The
chances are about twenty to one
on that your right hand is much
Stronger and more skilful than
your left. Yet both hands look
alike,
Why, then, has the human race
blace prehistoric tines always
ad ouch a preference for the
Blit hand, and scorn for the
eft? Although medical science
as reduced this almost instinct.
Vo distaste for left-handedness,
tho age-old dislike is still evi-
dent in many of our social cus-
toms,
The proud Tuaregs of the Sa-
hara Desert cling to this super-
iltlti.ous convention. These Arabs
will never pick up food with the
loft hand, for they consider it
unclean and liable to poison their
meals.
This tribal taboo may make
you smile, but remember the last
thne you either gave or attended
a formal dinner. In the name of
social etiquette," a good hostess
always seals the guest -of -honour
to her right.
Even the reason why a woman
keeps her wedding -band upon a
linger of the left hand is signifi-
cant. Originally, rings were worn
as a charm to ward off evil spir-
its believed to approach from the
left!
Today, the natives of Mexico's
San Blas Islands won't let any
left-handed woman serve food,
Tradition there holds that such
a person would cause the meal
to spoil, And in Tchad, West Af-
rica, the "duck-billed" women of
the Oubangi never feed their
children from the left breast.
Statistics indicate that only
about eight per cent of the
world's population is left-hand-
ed, But medical authorities have
found that the overwhelming
majority are right - handed be-
cause of social pressures -rather
than from natural physical
causes!
The choice of being right-
handed seems to be forced on us
early in life. Many appliances
and implements are made for use
by right-handed people only,
Some types of scissors and
tools, fishing rods, golf clubs and
hockey sticks are typical of items
designed for the right hand, A
left-hander has to go to the ex-
pense of having a special set
made,
Before the advent of automatic
weapons, a left - handed soldier
was often in very real danger
because of the difficulty of load-
ing his right-handed rifle.
Our language -written towards
the right - is from earliest times
full of praise for the right hand
, "God and my right;" "Right
must triumph:" "You did the
right thing;" "On the right hand
of God."
Take, too, the Latin for left -
"sinister." While from the French
we got our. word for clmsy,
"gauche."
But the Latin for right-handed
gives us "dexterous," that is, skil-
ful, adroit, In politics, of course,
Right and Left have their own
particular auras of good and bad.
With such a continuous influ-
ence for a right-handed world, it
is small wonder that only in re-
cent years have children ceased
to be forced to change from left-
handedness. At many schools
they were made to write with
the right hand, and at mealtimes
to eat and drink "the right way
round."
Then psychiatrists found that
such forced right - handers can
suffer extensive emotional dam-
age, often causing actual mental
illness,
For, if your left hand is strong-
er. than your right, it generally
means that, the whole of your
Left side, including the brain, is
naturally more developed than
the right,
A psychological study recently
completed in Baltimore revealed
that both human and chimpanzee
babies have no particular pref-
erence for using the right or left
hand, writes Sidney Allinson in
"Tit -Bits."
This only becomes evident af-
ter the age of two.
It might be an excellent thing
if all youngsters were encour-
aged to be ambidextrous. If you
are equally able with either
hand, your skill at games, for
instance, is likely to be con-
sidered enhanced.
Indeed, the left-handed often
come into their own at sport -
just look at the success of "south-
paws" in big-time boxing, left-
handers in baseball and the cry-
ing need for football players
with a "good left foot."
From all the evidence compiled
in the last few years, it seems
the socially -accepted right hand
may be nothing more than the
outcome of tribal taboos. Yet,
although the original meaning of
this custom has long' been for-
gotten, it still influence's many
aspects of human activity today.
We always, for example, ex-
tend the right hand in friend-
ship, Although the reason may
be that most of our friends, in
the days of old, also carried their
chief power on the dexter side.
Seine families have no ears, no
washing machines, no televisions.
They just have money in the
bank.

TIILL&2N FRONT

Results of a three-year test at
the Canada Department of Agri-
culture's Research station at
Lethbridge throw light on the
merits of mechanical harvesting
versus rotational grazing,
They do not yet indicate any
substantial increase of beef prod-
uction from mechanical harvest-
ing -the delivery of the clipped
forage to confined animals -but
the experiments are continuing,
• 4. 4.
Drs, R, D. Clark and D. B.
Wilson reported on the compari-
son of the two methods of feed-
ing at the station, using irrigated
pasture, of smooth brome, or-
chard grass, creeping red fescue
and white clover. Hereford year-
ling steers of about 600 pounds
weight; were placed on the pas-'
ture each spring and rotated over
three fields for the tests, A for-
age harvester was used to obtain,,
the feed for the 'animals ex-
cluded from the pasture.
. •
The data on beef and forage
production are given in order for
the years 1958, 1959 and 1960, the
first being for the grazed pas-
tures and that in brackets for the
mechanically harvested pasture:
Beef production per acre in
lb.: 573 (739), 656 (549), 696
(716), Dry matter yield per acre
in Ib.: 7100 (5772), 4785 (4633),
7091 (5764). Average daily gain
in lb.: 2.20 (2.46), 2.72 (2.67), 2.13
(2.15), Length of season in days:
112 (107), 102 (103), 103 (103).
+ * •
It seemed reasonable to expect
that the grass would grow better
when animals were not trampl-
ing it down and fouling it, and
also that the animals would gain
faster when confined and fed all
that they could eat, For these
reasons the good showing in beef
production per acre for the first
year was not surprising. The
lower beef and dry matter yield
from mechanical harvesting in
1959 were however, contradictory
and unexpected although similar
declines after the first year had
been reported, without satisfac-
tory explanation, from other
tests.
+ •
•
Drs. Clark and Wilson studied
another experiment under way
at Lethbridge and found that
higher yields were obtained when
the forage was cut to leave a 2 -
inch rather than a 4 -inch stubble,
The reason for the low forage
yields in their own test then be-
came apparent -the forage har-
vester was leaving about five
inches of stubble. The difference
was particularly noticeable early
in the season -the grazing pas-
tures being ready for use two
weeks before any cutting could
Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking
be done on the mechanically har-
vested fields, Slower warming of
the soil under the heavy stubble
probably was an important fac-
tor.
+ + +
The forage harvester also
bruised leaves of the grass stub-
ble, delaying their recovery. In
the following year the machine's
flails were kept in a better cut-
ting state and the stubble was
cut to a height of two to three
inches.
The decrease in dry matter
yield from the grazed fields in
1959 was attributed to insuffi-
cient irrigation and nitrogen fer-
tilization and steps were taken
to counteract these conditions
and to make certain manage-
ment improvements. Higher
yields of beef and forage were
obtained from both methods of
harvesting in 1960. The dry mat-
ter yield in the grazed fields
was obtained from cages in the
fields,
The stocking rate for the test
was 3.4 steers per acre, Reduc-
ing this rate and dresorting to
various management practices
could extend the length of the
pasture season.
. •
Still not convinced that beef
production per acre was at maxi-
mum level the researchers plan-
ed further refinements for 1961.
Some of the planned innova-
tions: a 6 -field instead of a 3 -
field rotation for the grazing cat-
tle, excess growth early in the
season to be harvested as hay
and fed back later when growth
slowed down; for the clipped
crops fertilizer application of 50
pounds of phosphorus 50 pounds
of nitrogen per another 33
pounds in July; fields to be
flood -irrigated up to six times.
+
* •
Advantages of mechanical har-
vesting found were: less fencing
required, watering and supervi-
sion of the stock and manage-
ment of the. grassland made
simpler. Disadvantages were:
ISSUE 50 - 1961
high outlay for a har;ester and
self -loading wagon; the necessity
for daily cutting; the difficulty
of harvesting in wet weather the
labor involved at a time when
labor is much in demand on the
farm; need for a well -drained
feedlot and extra bedding,
* • •
One conclusion: For the small
operator the gain from the high-
er yields of mechanical harvest-
ing is wiped out by the cost of
clipping,
Fires That Cannot
Be Put Out
People in a South Wales min-
ing village were shocked, recent-
ly, to see smoke and steam and
eerie gusts of bluish flame leap-
ing out of the ground. Experts
were called but they could do
nothing to extinguish the fire
which was raging beneath a large
coal tip.
Putting out these subterranean
fires, which are often found in
the neighbourhood of coal mines,
has often proved extremely dif-
ficult.
In Lancashire an "earth fire,"
as it was called locally, blazed
for years.
Another underground fire near
Wednesbury, Staffs, was at one
time likely to eat its way beneath
the suburbs of the town, so a
watchman was appointed to warn
people away from the danger
area.
One night the fire caused a
great mass of earth to collapse
and the watchman was drawn
down with it and burned alive.
It was reported, a few years
ago, that in a score of different
places in Britain underground
fires were smouldering.
"Some. have been alight for
years and are imitations of vol-
canoes on a small scale," wrote
one reporter. "The fuel in most
cases is coal."
An important junction station
near Swansea was for some time
rendered useless by an under-
ground fire said to be burning in
old chemical and metal refuse.
The platforms were hot and the
whole station was poisoned by
fumes.
A Midlands town suffered
severely many years ago from "a
slow burning" which went on
deep beneath its foundations.
It threw out fumes of deadly
gas which half -poisoned many
people.
Of all subterranean fires those
fed by shale oil deposits are the
longest lived,
Some time ago a newspaper-
man visited near Baku, on the
Caspian Sea, the site of .an un-
derground oil fire which, he said,
was alight when William the
Conqueror landed in England.

Good Tidings of Great Joy
I,ukc 2:1-16
Memory Selection: The angel
said unto them, Fear not: for be-
hold I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all
people. For unto you is. bora
this day in the city of David a
S a v i o u r, which is Christ the
Lord. Luke 2:10-11
The birth of Jesus was the
greatest event in human history
up to that time. It was great be-
cause the Son of God had con-
descended to become man. It was
great that a child should be born,
having no human father. Mary's
becoming pregnant during. her
engagement distressed Joseph
until an angel appeared to him
in a dream and told hive that she
had conceived of the Holy Ghost.
He proceeded to marry her but
knew her not as wife until after
Jesus was born.
Mary and Joseph raised Jesus
in accordance with the Jewish
law, On the eighth day he was
circumcised and thus brought of-
ficially into the Abrahamic cov-
enant (Luke 2:21). About the
42nd day of His life, He was pre-
sented to Jehovah in dedication,
a ceremony practised by parents
for the first male child born into
the family. This was a require-
ment by God, since His sparing
of the first born in Egypt, when
He sent the final of the ten
plagues upon the land. At the
time of this ceremony, Mary also
made the required offering for
her own purification, giving of
the two prescribed sacrifices the
one especially provided for the
poor of the nation (cf Lev, 12:8).
Evidently, the home in which
Jesus got his early religious nur-
ture was poor in this world's
goods but rich in devotion and
piety.
From history' we -learn that
even before the Jewish could
write, he was expected to mem-
orize the Shema, a creed com-
posed of 19 verses from Deut.
6:4-9: 11:13-21; and Num. 15:37-
41, These were written out, par-
ticularly by boys, after they
learned to write. At the age of
six, Jewish boys were sent to
school which usually adjoined
the synagogue. Attendance was
compulsory.
Jesus came to save us from
our sins. This was the good tid-
ings of great joy. Jesus who died
for us, rose again and lives for-
evermore. He will save all who
come to Him.

They Keep Twisting
MI Over The Map
In a few briet nnonths the twist
has become more than a dance;
it has turned into a national ex-
cursion Into no -mind's land.
In The New York Times last
month, a full-page, $6,000 ad
seized a slack -jawed public by
the lapel and proclaimed: "manu-
facturers, attention: A new na-
tionwide name to presell your
Croduct ... The Twist with
hubby Checker (the king of the
twist) who created the greatest
nationwide dance craze in years!!
LICENSES AVAILABLE; .. .
'BIG NAMES MEAN BIG BUS-
INESS'' it concluded, quoting no
one in particular.
Harold Bell, Checker's agent.
reported that by the very next
day he had received inquiries
from makers of jewelry, hats,
scarves, sweatshirts, and blue
jeans. One lucky early bird was
the firm of Thom McAn, which
won a license to make a line of
Chubby Checker Twist shoes,
Bell said he had turned down toy
manufacturers, not because he
was worried abort the tender
sensibilities of the kiddies, but
because, ''we have a symbol; it's
an image, and I think we would
do harm to our image to get the
pre -juveniles in on it." Bell said
that he was hopeful this would
do as well as the Presley boom,
in which, at the height of the
craze, 42 manufacturers sold $30
million worth of retail rubbish
within a three-month period.
But there were others getting
into the sacroili-act. At New
York's Metropolitan Museum of
Art, recently, the fashion indus-
try's $100 -a -plate Party of the
Year featured Joey Dee, Mr.
Twister of the Peppermint
Lounge. Dee and his gang played
for $150 an hour while the lead-
ers of fashion flung their forms
into the hip -hip -swinging ritual.
James J. Rorimer, the museum's
director, shouted vainly: "I did
not invite thein, I was not
aware of this," while, at the
Same moment, Mrs, Rorimer, off
in a discreet corner, was learn-
er how to twist, The party
raised $70,000 toward a new wing
for the Museum of Costume Art.
Meanwhile, moralists debated
the propriety of the dance, in
her column, Elsa Maxwell con-
fided that Princess Olga of
Yugoslavia had agreed with her
at the Polish Ball that the twist
shouldn't he danced in public
places, but only at private par-
ties. Then La Maxwell went on
to confuse matters by making
public a private party—Afdcra
Fonda's blow-out for her sister
Lorien and brother-in-law Lolo
Gaetani, Describing the doings,
Miss Maxwell carefully listed
who had and who hadn't twisted.
The derangement was hardly
confined to New York. Like an
epidemic, it had swept the re-
public, In the White House, at a
dinner dance in honor of Mrs.
Kennedy's sister, Princess Radzi-
will, Lester Lanin's orchestra
played the twist, to which Oleg
Cassini and Mrs. Philip Geyelin
danced. Pierre Salinger denied
seeing it, but this was the green
light for Washington society. Fri-
day night, Mrs. Herbert May
(Marjorie Merriweather Post,
Post-Toasties heiress) gave a
party for Diane Dow (Dede)
Buchanan, debutante daughter of
former U.S, Chief of Protocol
Wiley Buchanan, Sidney of the
Mayflower played the twist,
which he said 18 -year-old Dede
"loves to do.:' (Mrs.Buchanan
swears that she saw the Duke
and Duchess of Windsor doing
the twist in Paris.)
In Atlanta, 71 -year-old former
mayor William Hartsfield was
twisting at a benefit Soiree Ball
at the posh Piedmont Driving
Club. In the San Francisco area,
where the latest wrinkle is doing
the twist with a highball glass
balanced on one's head, there was
a twist party at the fashionable
Burlingame Country Club, in
fashionable Hillsborough, And in
L.A., where the Crescendo is the
locus of the fracas, the current
variations include the Back
Scratcher (the twister stands
back to partner and pretends to
scratch his back against an imag-
inary pillar), the Fight (boxer's
motions, set to music), and the
Oversway (the girl does a back
twist, and the boy a forward
twist, simultaneously),
By the weekend there were re-
ports from Los Angeles of no less
than three twist movies ("Hey,
Let's Twist," "Twist Around the
Clock," and "Doin' the Twist"),
And there was—naturally—a re-
cord called "Merry Twistmas."

Small Girl Teles Tale Of Horror
There was nothing about the
taffy -haired little girl resting in
in Miami's Mercy Hospital last
month to hint that she had seen
her eleven -year-old world come
to an end in a welter of blood
on a night of terror aboard the
60 -foot ketch Bluebelle. She ate
heartily — soup and scrambled
eggs for lunch—and slept nor-
mally. One day she wrote a let-
ter to a classmate, 11 -year-old
Cathy Galloway, back home in
Green Bay, Wis., and reminded
her of a promised gift of a kitten.
"I'd like to have It when I get
home," she wrote.
For a child who had drifted
almost four days on a flimsy life
raft, Terry Jo Duperrault was
snapped in a squall and the
yacht, under charter to the Du-
perraults, caught fire and sank,
taking with it Terry Jo's parents,
Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Duperrault,
her brother, 14 -year-old Brian
and Harvey's bride, Mary. Har-
vey escaped in a dinghy with the
drowned body of Terry Jo's sis-
ter, 7 -year-old Renee.
Not so, said Terry Jo; the mast
did not fall nor was there any
fire. She was awakened by
"screaming and stamping," went
on deck and saw her mother' and
brother lying in pools of blood.
Harvey, she said, struck her and
sent her below. When water rose
to the level of her bunk, Terry
Jo went topside again to ask the

doing fine. Even when the gold -
braided men from the Coast
Guard came to ask her about the
sinking of the 13iuebelle 125
miles northwest of Miami, she
told her h^ii'-raising story tvith-
out tears.
Terry Jo could not know, of
course, that her account branded
as a cold-blooded lie every ma-
jor detail of the story told by the
Bluebell's Capt. Julian Harvey, a
much - married, much - decorated
Air Force pilot and 'adventurer
of 45. Nor did she know, as did
the Coast Guard, that Harvey
had fatally slashed his throat and
wrists just after learning that
she too had survived,
Captain Harvey said a mast
captain if the ketch was sinking.
"Yes," he replied, and boarded
the drifting dinghy. Terry Jo
said that she freed the raft and
floated away in the night. Terry
Jo al;parently did not see either
her father or Harvey's wife, but
the Coast Guard seemed satisfied
that Harvey had killed all three
adults and two children, either
in a murderous rage or perhaps
to collect $40,000 in insurance on
a policy he had taken out on hie
new wife,
It wasn't necessary to tell
Terry Jo the Coact Guard's
theory of what had happened{
what she herself had seen on that
night would be enough of a heri-
tage of horror.

By Anne Ashley
Q. Should a letter of applica-
tion for a position be written by
hand or typewritten?
A. Usually, a typewritten let-
ter is preferred. However, there
are some firms which stipulate
handwritten letters of applica-
tion, especially where the appli-
cant's handwriting is a factor
Q. Would it be proper for us
to send a wedding gift of money
to some newlyweds who live in
x distant city?
A. This would be quit* all
right.
Q. Am I supposed to reply to
letters and notes of condolence I
have received?
A. This is only good manners
In return for such acts of
thoughtfulness. Your notes may
be brief, but they should be
sincere and they should be hand-
written.
Q, Is it still considered neces-
sary or proper that a woman
speak first when meeting a man
on the street?
A, No. in fact, it is more usual
for the man to smile and give the
woman an indication that he has
recognized her so that she may
then bow to him, This is parti-
cularly true in business contacts
where it may be hard for a wo-
man to remember all the hien she

Those I.Q. Tests
May Be Deceiving
A le Iter day may be dawning
for many a school child who
makes average grades, has an
average I,Q, and is inclined to
daydream or be bored. Ile may
have creative abilities which, if
recognized and developed, could
be of great value to society.
The big emphasis now is on
intelligence tests, The student
who rales high here usually gets
top grades and is singled out for
scholarships and special atten-
tion, But his inattentive class-
mate, who sometimes incurs the
displeasure of his teacher and
the ridicule fo other pupils with
seemingly irrelevant questions
and rebellion at the status quo,
may be somewhat neglected.
Dr. E. Paul Torrance, psychol-
ogist at the University of Min-
nesota, and his staff conducted
creativity tests among 120 mid-
dle-class fifth graders—with as-
tonishing results. The two high-
est creativity scorers among the
top ten had the lowest I.Q,s and
their academic ratings were me-
diocre. They probably would be
kept out of most "good" colleges.
But they should not be, if ten-
tative conclusions based on these
tests are substantiated. If crea-
tive thinkers can be identified
and given educational induce-
ments, the rewards to the school
system and the country will be
abundant. For our very survival,
we can ill afford to submerge
creative thought.

ISSUE 50 =
That Radiation
Can Be Useful Too
Ilow much radiation Is too
much radiation? That is what
government and other experts
are attempting to determine.
In the meantime, the radiol-
ogical health division of the U.S.
Public health Service is trying
to calm unnecessary fears and
panic and shed as much light as
is possible on a murky subject.
Radiation itself is nothing new.
Men have been exposed to it
throughout the ages, Ih'. Donald
R. Chadwick, chief of the radiol-
ogical health division, puts it this
way:
"Mankind has always lived
with radiation—from cosmic rays
originating in outer space and
from natural radio -activity in the
environment."
Added to this in recent years
has been the radiation which
conies from "more widespread
use of medical and dental X rays,
fallout from nuclear weapons
testing, and some aspects of nu-
clear energy - production," Dr.
Chadwick points out,
The government now is em-
barked on an extensive program
of research into the effects of
radiation and such countermeas-
ures as can be taken against
excessive exposure,
In the meantime, authorities
emphasize that "the actual and
potential benefits man may de-
rive from the controlled use of
ionizing radiation are manifold,"
Nuclear power, with adequate
safeguards, may be the world's
answer to dwindling supplies of
coal and oil. It may be the source
of needed power for more elec-
tricity in homes and factories.
It may be used to excavate
harbors, develop water sources,
heat reservoirs, and (nine low-
grade ore. It is even now being
used to heat and light cities, to
propel submarines and merchant
,ships,
Radioactive isotopes are now
widely used in medicine, in in-
dustry, and in 'agriculture. So
far, according to the PHS in-
formation booklet, the most in-
tensive exposure to ionizing
radiation has come from the use
of X rays by the health profes-
sions.
Now that the adverse effects
of over-exposure are understood,
"concerted effort is now being
applied by these professions to
reduce, as far as possible, the
exposure of individuals under-
going X-ray diagnosis and treat-
ment."
It is readily admitted that there
is still much to be learned about
radiation and its effects, but it is
obvious that mankind is going to
have to live with it—and live
with it in safety.
Toward this end, the govern-
ment has now developed two
different processes for removing
strontium 90 from milk. As much
as 98 per cent of the radioactive
material can be removed in this
way.
It has not yet been decided
which of the two processes will
prove most practical for industry
or how much this extra process-
ing may add to the cost.
This development is considered
of particular importance since
milk is such a substantial part of
the national diet. And also be-
eause strontium 90, wherever it
winds up, remains radioactive
for as many as 27 years, writes
Josephine Ripley in the Chistian
OIL FROM THE OCEAN — Farthest offshore oil drilling in-
stullation is this platform 70 miles off Louisiana in the Gulf
of Mexico. Built by CATC fa group of four oil companies),
it rises 229 feet above the water, which is 180 feet deep at
this point. The tender alongside the rig holds the pipe and
other drilling gear and provides eating and sleeping quarters
for the crew. Platform at aft end is for helicopters.
Science Monitor.
This fallout comes to earth on
pa1ures where cattle graze and
thus enters into the country's
milk supply.
But Public Health Service au-
thorities stress again and again
that there is no danger from this
source at this time. They do not
want the public to misunderstand
the situation and stop drinking
milk,
"We are not recommending
any action by individuals or by
official agencies designed to limit
intake which would interfere
with food and water supplies of
large population groups. The
amount of radiation is not suffi-
ciently high to justify any such
action," according to one au-
thority.
As for growing vegetables such
as spinach and lettuce which may
happen to be in the fallout path,
the deposit can be washed off
like any other foreign matter
before the vegetable is consumed
as food.
In the meantime, the govern-
ment has stepped up its monitor-
ing service to measure the in-
crease in radioactivity in the air
and in milk and other foods,
Winters Are Warmer
Than They Used To Be
Summer is past and the voice
of the old-timer is heard in our
land, recalling the blizzard of '88
and the "good old days" when
winters were really bad,
Well, the old-timers are right.
According to a survey released
last month by the National Geo-
graphic Society, winters aren't
what they used to be. A warm-
ing trend, possibly a reflection of
earth's emergence from the last
Ice age, has been evident since
1900: The mockingbird, a South-
ern bird, now sings to New
Yorkers; codfish, once unknown
to Greenland, is now a staple
there; in Sweden, the timberline
has climbed 65 feet,
Within this over-all trend,
however, the society sees minor
fluctuations. The earth is now
going through one such at pre-
sent. Forecast for the next few
winters: Slightly colder through
1965.
DRESS HEHEARSAL — Wearing plastic "surgical" suits to

Hunters See Some
Strange Critters
Although game in the Slate of
Maine is abundant, it is not in
excessive variety, and when a
gentleman comes out of the
woods and reports that he has
seen a large green animal with
butter - colored spots, shaped
something like a wapiti, but \vith
the head of a Greek Auk, there
is a tendency to look upon the
report askancely,
In Maine, however, one does
n o t appear incredulous, f o r
strange things do happen in the
woods, and odd animals do get
seen. After all, the great John
James Audubon painted several
birds nobody ever saw except
John James Audubon. The biol-
ogist will therefore approach this
whole subject with an open mind.
Instead of haw -hawing .at the
gentleman who has just reported
seeing this strange and wonder-
ful beast, you will, instead,
merely say, "Is that so? What
kind of a tail did he have?"
Just recently a hunter up
around Linneus reported seeing
an unusual sight. It has the head
of a cougar, he said, but is about
three tunes as long as an otter,
although no bigger around than a
weasel, The gentleman said it
slunk from spruce growth into
the shadows behind a yellow
birch, and he was so astonished
at the sight he forgot to shoot
at it.
Somebody said, "What kind of
a tail did it have?"
"That's the funny part," the
man said, "It had a long, skinny
tail, with a knot tied in the end
of it,"
Now, you see, what is going on
here is a fact -study in the area
of twilight imagination. Coming
back from the chase, alert for a
deer or partridge, the hunter is
psychologically set up for about
anything. The vesper may gently
sway the forest, so two trees rub
their limbs together in what is
known as a "tree -squeak." This
may be a rustle, a squawk, a
chatter, a whine and a groan —
but whatever noise it, makes it
can suggest about anything to
the eager sportsman. Sometimes
they empty their guns into a fir
stump and run for camp claim-
ing they shot a bear. Again, the
"animal" they saw may be less
credible, like a kangaroo or
roseate spoonbill. But when a
gentleman reports an animal
which has a knot tied in the end
of its tail, you know it's tactful
not to ask too many questions.
The upshot was, when the man
described the knot in the tail,
that Herbert MacQuarrie spoke
up and said, "Oh, yeah—that was
my cat." And the explanation is
very simple, Mr, MacQuarrie is
by profession a timber cruiser
for the Oberton Pulp & Paper
Company, and he has a small
camp in on Slumgullion Stream.
One evening after a day in the
woods he had trade his supper
and put down some evaporated
milk in a dish for the cat. Then,
just behind the cat, he sat and
cleaned his ,45-70 bear rifle,
which accidentally discharged.
The cat, taken by surprise,
leaped up and went outdoors
through a knot -hole in the side
of the ,camp, which of course ac-
counts for her subsequent elon-
gation. But that's not all of the
story, Several evenings later, Mr.
MacQuarrie came home and
found that the cat had sneaked
in through the knot -hole and had
laid into a brace of spruce par-
tridge he had intended to use for
supper.
So, to keep the cat from coin-
ing and going by the knothole,
he had simply tied a knot in her
tail. In other words, the hunter
actually had seen this creature,
and it wasn't a strange animal
at all.
Nor is it odd that nobody ever
shoots one of these sights. At
North Leeds, not long ago, a
gentleman carne out of the woods
and said he had seen a kangaroo.

Ing Farms Ltd., Box 400G, Galt, Ontario.
He was hunting deer, and as he
approached a raspberry growth
this animal leaped about 35 feet
in the air and bounded away
through the woods, Anybody
might think the best way to
prove this unusual event would
be to shoot the animal and bring
it forth. There is no law in
Maine on kangaroos. But things
don't happen that way. When
you are hunting deer and a kan-
garoo jumps up, it kind of un-
nerves you, and even the most
accomplished woodsman would
fail to shoot. There has never
been a case in Maine where a
hunter, expecting a deer but see-
ing a kangaroo, has shot one.
The experienced Maine woods-
man has, it is true, an inner
sense that lets him judge the dif-
ferences. When he hears some-
body tell about seeing a long-
eared black panther, with hind
legs like a seal, he feels inwardly
that the man has probably mis-
taken an ordinary fisher, These
things can happen and do, Not
that a fisher barks like a seal,
but that such a hark is inconsis-
tent with a panther.
But when a reputable gentle-
man with no personal reason for
misrepresentation comes in and
describes an animal with a knot
in his tail, the usual Maine
woods probability of error is im-
mediately eliminated. If the kan-
garoo had been hearing a knap-
sack, or the alleged cougar had
been strumming a guitar, this
same consideration would apply.
Such things, in short, are not
made up or imagined.—By John
Gould in the Christian Science
Monitor,
How Can 1?
By Roberta Lee
Q. How can I remedy a pair
of gloves when some of the fing-
ers are a bit too tight for com-
fortable wearing?
A. Insert a clean, cold culling
iron into each finger. Open the
iron slightly to stretch gently,
pulling the iron out slo\vly at
the same time to avoid "fan"
shaping of the fingertips of the
gloves,
Q. How can I renovate used
Christmas wrapping paper, rib-
bons, and the like, which I have
saved from past Christmases?
A, With a damp sponge, wipe
the ribbons and the paper on the
wrong side, then iron them —
and you'll have "new -looking"
package decorations.
Q. Any suggestions on the
making of good stew?
A. Be sure to brown the neat
on all sides in a little fat before
adding any • liquid, Chopped on-
ions may be added during the
browning process, if you like.
Add other vegetables to the stew
just long enough before the meat
is tender so that they will not be
overdone in the finished product,

FEDERATION NEWS
(fay J. Carl lleminway)
On Monday evening a meeting of the
lluron County Dairy Co-Orrlinating
Beard was held in the Federation Of-
fice. It took the forst of a Farm Fortran
discussion, Unfortunately the weather
was bad fur driving and the attendance
was small but the the group dict ar'r'ive
at Soule recommendations.
All agreed that an overall marketing
plan for milk was necessary.
'1'o deal with the quota problem it
was agreed That present production
should be frozen, Since there is a fairly
rapid change in farms it was felt that
over production could soon be over-
come if production quotas \vere not
saleable or tl'0115 enable. A new pro-
ducer would have to apply for a pro-
duction quota and then wail Itis turn
before he could become a shipper,
Jn controlling surplus a very small
minority suggested an equilization de•
duction for the purpose of subsidizing
surplus into export but the majority
felt that production quotas would take
care of the p►•ubletn.
At elle meeting of Ontario Poultry
Producers there was considerable dis.
erasion, rather heated at times, as to
the method of marketing eggs. A small
group seemed quite determined to pre
vont the introduction of a Producer
Marketing Agency for eggs. However
when one of the Ontario Directors sug•
gested that If the producers present
were leatisfied with present egg mar
keting we might as well all go home
and forget about selling our product,
11' we were not satisfied then we should
take the necessary steps to formulate
a plan. As a result a motion was pas-
sed instructing the committee to diem
up 0 petition, to be circulated immedi•
ately, requesting that the farm Pro-
tlucls Marketing Board draft an Egg
Marketing Pian on which a vote wil
be taken as soon as possible.
At the Meeting of the O.F.A. Alcor
hers on December 6111, Farmers' Allies

tended to "Fame" to present an out-
line of their program to the next mem-
