passed away in the Goderich hospital
in her 90th year. The service was con-
ducted by Rev. Hugh C. Wilson, of
Thames Road United Church. He was
a former minister at Auburn and a
friend of the family for roan years.
The arrangements were hl charge of
the Ball and Mutat funeral home at
Clinton.
In his comforting, nie6sage to the
herdaved family, Mr. Wilson stated,
that she was gathered at last to her
family as she was the last member of
a fanny of 13, and spoke of the ever-
lasting life which Christ has made av-
ailable to all that believe on His Name.
The beautiful floral tributes were a
silent reminder of a loving mother, a
true neighbour and a thoughtful friend.

ganist,

A District The U.S.A.
Doesn't Brag About
Blue Hole, Mudlick, Greasey
'Pork, Stinking Creek: these are
the names of mountain communi-
ties located along the creek beds
here in eastern Kentucky. Here,
where paved roads are few, lives
a segment of the 10,000,000 moun-
tain people of the Southern Ap-
palachians.
These southern mountaineers
form the major part of that group
of citizens whom President Ken-
nedy has called the "underprivil-
eged In America." High rates of
illiteracy and low economic op-
portunity makes this region one
of the most problematical and
challenging areas in the United
States,
The people of these hills live
a life as deceptively simple as
the direct folk names by which
they call their places. They do
not seem to move fast or push
hard; when a man wants to shoot
squirrels, he leaves what he is
doing and hunts, He has time for
conversation, and time for "jes'
settin'."
Underneath this leisurely sur-
face, however, is a many -colored
society, a complex pattern of life
which often becomes torn and
imperfectly mended when the
mountaineer moves to the city,
or when the city reaches his
home.
The area commonly referred to
as the Southern Appalachians
consists of approximately 130,000
square miles covering the moun-
tainous parts of seven states: Ala-
bama, Georgia, Kentucky, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and
West Virginia. Over 1,500,000
people have left this region in
the last ten years, following Nell -
worn migration paths north to
urban centers such as Chicago,
Indianapolis, and Cleveland.
In recent years their destina-
tions are being extended over
longer distances. Many of these
migrants are not equipped to
participate in the urban environ-
ment. The most poorly trained
form ghettos in the cities, or
move, of necessity, to the slums.
Statistics dealing with the
mountain area itself are signifi-
cantly enough below the na-
tional norm to reflect upon the
prosperity and well-being of the
nation as a whole. In eastern
Kentucky the average wage
earner makes $650 a year, one-
third the average annual income
in the United States. This figure
includes welfare payments and
other state and federal subsidies,
Eastern Kentucky has not been
self-supporting in 30 years, and
receives some $15,000,000 a year
in direct relief, and a correspond-
ing sum in "mollygrub," free
commodities distributed to those
who qualify for welfare.
The reasons for this local de-
pression are many,and involve
the explosion of several myths
which have become the spec-
tacles through which this area is
commonly viewed. In the past,
natural resources of coal and tim-
ber were the primary source of
income here. The mountains have
been wastefully stripped; trees
which cover their slopes are all
second or third growth now, un-
suitable for lumbering on a sig-
nificant scale. But the coal is by
no means exhausted, and the coal
industry is not dead. Rather, it
is the mining of coal by men
which is dying.
The rapid mechanization of the
mines which began in the early
1950's has put more than 50 per
cent of the coal miners out of

work. Those fortunate enough I.
retain their jobs receive a gond
salary under the union pay scale:
over three dollars an hour, $125
a week, But the companies and
the union have not been able to
maintain work for over half the
men,
Except for the technological
changes which managements
have introduced and the union
accepted, the industry might have
lost still more of its market, A
royalty is paid Into the union
welfare fund, which helps the
retired and the disabled, but little
seems to have been done to help
the displaced and unemployed
coal miner.
To an extent, new sources of
energy such as natural gas and
petroleum have decreased the
demand for coal, Even if the de-
mands of the United Mine Work-
ers for Increased embargoes on
the importation of crude petrol-
eum were met, however, and
even if new synthetic uses for
coal are developed, it is improb-
able that this would create work
in the mines for all those who
are now laid off. The "claw" has
replaced the man, writes John
W. Dower in the Christian Sci-
ence Monitor.
Agriculture too offers no real
solution to the lack of economic
opportunity in the mountains. Al-
though local teams of agrarian
experts are working to develop
maximum utilization of the soil,
there is simply not enough culti-
vatable land to make farming a
major economic prop here. Eighty
per cent of eastern Kentucky is
too steep for habitation, In Clay
County, Kentucky, the figure
rises to 90 per cent, in Leslie
County to 991/2 per cent. And
much of the rare flatland is river
and creek bed.

attractive to most industries. A-
gainst the lure of a cheap labor
force lie the detrimental factors
of poor transportation and power
facilities, and the lack of educa-
tional and technical skills,
Prof. Joseph Mobley, agricul-
tural economics expert of the
University of Kentucky, esti-
mates that 50,000 new jobs are
needed to meet the present de-
mands of unemployed and under-
employed people in eastern Ken-
tucky alone. In addition to this
number over 16,000 young people
join the labor force here each
year. Extending these figures
over the next 10 years, it is ap-
parent that more than 150,000
new jobs must be created in
eastern Kentucky alone in order
to employ the local labor pool.
Faced with the lack of rural
job opportunity on the one hand,
the lack of urban skills on the
other, the individual mountain-
eer finds himself trapped. His
words are black and often bitter.
There is among many a sense
of having been taken advantage
of, of having been used and ex-
ploited.
Underlying this situation are
conditions of environment which
provide a further set of sobering
statistics, Only 10 per cent of
the farm homes in Clay County,
for example, have running water,
less than 6 per cent have tele-
phones, and less than 5 per cent
have inside plumbing.
Of the 10,000,000 illiterates in
the United States, over 2,000,000
live in the Southern Appalach-
ians. More than 80 per cent of
the young people in eastern Ken-
tucky fail to finish high school.
This lack of education, together
with poor diet and hygiene, caus-
ed the rejection of almost half
the men called up for military
service from the mountain re-
gion during World War II.
Lacking economic opportunity
in his homeland, and ill-prepared
to move to the cities, the moun-
taineer faces a bleak future. Yet
there is a brighter side to his
situation also, for in recent years
the people of the Southern Ap-
palachians themselves have initi-
ated programs of development
and education on a small but
growing scale,
These programs, and the unique
way of life of the mountaineer,
are the subjects of two subse-
quent articles.

A Sour Note About
A Sweet Lady
Warning! This is going to be
a sour one.,,,
No one should blame Jackie
Kennedy for being good-looking.
Nor should anyone expect the
U.S, President's wife to ride a
bicycle in from the airport or
slop over to the Government
Housc reception in blue jeans.
We expect her to look like a lady.
But it seems to be no accident
that the crowds in Rome and the
crowds in New Delhi shouted the
same thing—"America's Queen"
— only in different languages.
Jackie has certainly put on a
queenly performance, backed by
her sister, Princess Radziwill, of
London, wife of a one-time Pol-
ish prince. . , ,
We are informed by leased
wire whenever Mrs. Kennedy
changes from sleek black to stun-
ning white, whenever pearls give
way to diamonds,
Worst of all, the net. inconse-
quential statements of the First
Lady , . are reported with ap-
parent awe. Jackie's earth -steak:
ing assertions like, "1 have a
little, girl about your. age," or
"That's a pre,ty name," are
enough to send the press corps
galloping to the nearest telegraph
office.
Maybo it's the fault of the
press. Twenty reporters are free-
loading on Jackie's junket and,
barring some tremendous devel-
opment like a cobra getting away
from a snake charmer or some
Indian official saying that they've
had about enough foreign aid,
these folks will naturally be
pressed for copy..
A lot of the world has the idea
that Americans are sc rich from
having stolen so much wealth
from the poor Latin Americans
and the poor Africans and the
poor Asiatics, etc. that foreign
aid doesn't hurt us a bit and the
only crying shame is that we
don't really loosen up and atone
for our materialistic sins. .
Somehow, it would seem, our
own self-interest would lie in
trying to convince these people
that wo are a hard-working race
who built an empire out of a
wilderness by getting up early
and plowing straight and chop-
ping with a will, Also, that we
have the highest rate of income
taxes on earth and the most mag-
nificent national debt.
This idea will never be sold by

British Can't
Afford To Buy Lunch
Surely the oddest thing about
the British economy is that prac-
tically nobody can afford to buy
himself a lunch any more,
A house, a car, a television,
clothes, a holiday? Ves, one can
just [Ilford them.
But lunch? No.
Probably a majority of com-
mercial firms now issue their
clerical staffs with luncheon
vouchers. Which is why every
other restaurant has a little
sticker "LV" in the window, With
a voucher the staff can get 3s.
Gd. (50 cents) worth of lunch at
one of the restaurants without
paying. The firm pays later and
writes the cost off its taxes.
Where there Is no luncheon
voucher there may be a canteen,
with a subsidized meal at a give-
away price.
Where there is no canteen
there may be a kitchen where
the staff can cook itself a little
meal.
Where there is no kitchen the
staff probably brings its own
sandwiches.
Virtually half the people lunch-
ing in the crowded restaurants
where 3s,0d, would not even tip
the porter are doing so as guests
of the other half. And most of
the other half are either going
to sign the bill (on behalf of the
firm), get the cost back out of
the petty cash account later, or
claim an allowance against tax
when they send their form (and
the bill) in to the Inland Rev-
enue.
What is certain is that practi-
cally, nobody will he having a
proper lunch at his or her own
expense.
Very few people in this coun-
try today could afford to do so.
No fooling. That's a fact,
It seems a very odd state of
affairs.
It may be that the party that
will win the next election will
be the party that adopts as its
slogan the words, "Let us pay our
own way."
For when people pay their own
way each gets the lunch he wants
and deserves, writes John Allan
May in the Christian Science
Monitor,
When others pay—or else one
doesn't eat—not only does the
luncher usually sat a meal he
does not want but society lose.s
by introducing into its system a
new and random set of privileges.
Now the reason why people
cannot afford to pay for lunch
is simply that taxation is too
high.
The tax on a car has been
reduced—three cheers for that!
— but it still stands at 45 per
cent. On a basically £500
($1,400) car the tax is more than
£200 ($569),
For .C200 you could not eat at
the Savoy every day. But you
could eat across the street,
Or look at it another way.
Because people cannot afford to
pay the full economic fare on the
railways the railways are losing
more than .11150,000,000 a year.
So this £150,000,000 is simply
collected by the tax man instead
of the railway clerk.
Now that would buy lunch tor
a week for every man, woman,
and child in the country. Which
means that not having it causes
£150,000,000 to be unavailable
for lunch.
In other words, running rail-
ways at a loss means going with-
out lunch,
This is indeed an economic
fact -of -life that people seem un-
aware of and yet cannot avoid.
Nothing is free.
The state never pays for any-
th; padocs.
Atingthethe presenttaxyer moment in this
country "the state" is Said to
spend 40 per cent of the' national
income; i.e., the taxpayer pays
out 40 per cent of the nation's
income in taxes.
If a nation, or a man, pays 25
per cent of income for housing,
25 per cent for housekeeping, 10
per cent on motoring, and 40 per
cent on government, there is not
going to be much lett over for
lunch,

Easy To Hear — But
Difficult To See
On the evening of the twenty-
sixth (of March) I hear a high,
shrill sound, whirring and spin-
ning, suggesting proud activity,
presence set free. The spring
peepers are making it known
that a time has arrived, and I
take joy in the news, having
failed to make any definite as-
surance of it myself. Their sound
embraces all this changing land,
rising above the whispered roars
of the sea.
Now the perpetrator of this
chorus is a tiny tan frog with
a smudged cross or X on its
back, named hyla Crucifer
The male of the species has
been speaking up on behalf of
spring openings for millions of
years, In that capacity it is
authoritative enough, Its voice,
almost incredibly loud and
shrill for an animal that is not
much over an inch long, is am-
plified by m e a n s of a large
bubblelike pouch which acts as
a resonator.
For all their vast population
in the bogs, ponds, edges,
swamps, and other wet areas of
the Cape, individual spring
peepers are very hard to find,
During a cool evening, as the
stars begin to declare them-
selves, I hear the peepers' collec-
tive voice rising up around me,
passing into the sky On the
banks of Berry's Hole, that deep,
swampy hollow nearby, there is
u pulsing, piercing, deafening
chorus. The wind suddenly
blows over in a loud torrent but
the peepers keep 'on. I walk
farther down and they stop; then
they begin again, after I sit
still for a minute or two. The
banks are wet, after a Tight- af-
ternoon rain, and they must be'
covered by frogs, judging by the
sound; but I search every bit'
of ground with a flashlight and

A Word About Crows
From An Old Friend
The crows returned to Maine,
this year, on the 14th and 15th
of March, which may or may not
be on schedule, The 14th was a
lovely day overhead, but still
snowbound b e 1 o w, and the
warmish southerly breeze '
brought the crows back in great
swirling flocks. On the morning
of the 15th they had settled in,
and I was roused in the first
glimmer of morning by an old
veteran whose salute from a
pine on the knoll gets just. the
right leverage to start the wall-
paper in my bedroom, Winter's
back, they say, is broken, and
from now out we're on the down -
Jill side.
The crow has always inter-
ested me, for he is a bird that
hardly fits the definitions of the
Auduboners, yet he does just
about anything that is done by
the robin,' bluebird and finch He
comes and goes with the chang-
ing season, he sings to me, pleas-
antly from yonder bush, he is
friendly and industrious, and he
is as good a harbinger as we need.
That his voice is uncultivated,
even unharrowed, is perhaps not
his fault, and that his plumage
Ls undecorative is unfortunate.
If he isn't as cute and as perky
as the mvarblers, at least there is
more of him to love. In the
spring, upon his return, he is al-
ways fat.
In the fall, when the day has
arrived and a brisk northerly
wind is forecasting the time to
come, the crows assemble for
their flight south, It is as if they
had a sleeting place and an ad-
vertised call from the secretary.
We see them winging in, pur-
poseful and direct, to join the
flock that is making up, and
then ' they all take oft at once
and go. They come back the
same way. On the 14th the sky
was filled with crows, r n the
15th they had fanned out into
what the surveyists would call
the population density, Until fall,
again, the vicinity t"!ll have just
about so many to the acre, or
square mile, and their congrega-
tions will be local.
It always amuses me to see the
advertising in the catalogs for a
"crow call," This item, listed
postpaid at $1.95, is made from
extra quality black cherry, and
is said to be "an important step
in duck conservation" because
crows destroy a large amount of
cluck and songbird eggs. Spe led
out, this means that sportsmen;
so -•:ailed, tootle on these gadg-
ets to attract the crows and then
shoot therm. This conserves ducks
It amuses .me, because the
crow isn't That sophisticated. As-
suming that you want to attract
crows, you can save $1.95 by
standing under a clump of pines
and yelling caw -caw -caw, Crows,
who are not wise old owls, will
embe a great distance to find
out what you are trying to do,

FEARLESS — Ernst Ahrens
takes a close look at one of
the• 20 poisonous tarantulas
which he breeds in his home.
in Duesseldorf, West Ger-
many Ahrens isn't a bit
afraid of the spiders, but his
fellow tenants are scared to
depth of them,
You can also laugh like a hyena,
bay like a donkey, or sing an
-aria . from La Traviata — it
doesn't matter. If you make some
kind of a noise, a crow will
come, often in curious flocks,
and he will . wheel about over
the pine trying to figure out
what kind of a crow you are
and :if he knows you.
It's good the spring crow is fat,
for he has a lean month after he
gets here. They are scavengers,
but there isn't much to scavenge
on the snow, Ducks and song-
birds aren't back yet and there
won't be any eggs for a while.
Cornfields are • still unplowed
But the crow makes out, some-
how, and soon they'll have their
nests refurbished in the spruces.
Back when I was a barefooted
boy I had a tame crow. He was
a lot of fun, and since we fed
him in the winter he didn't • fly
with the crowd. It was my lot, to
take the cows to pasture every
morning. Eager for feed, the
ladies would step from the tie-
up and parade quietly up the
lane, for cows are creatures of
habit and they knew the way.
The grass would be wet from
dew, and cool, and some morn-
ings a summer fog or mist mull
would hang over the countryside.
The sun• would burn it off later,
but in the early hours it gave
the pasture lane something of a
magic roadway into fairyland.
The stick I carried, which stood
by day at the pasture bars and
by night in the tie-up, was to
touch up laggards, but it also
helped as a wand to conjure the
numerous miracles that took
place along the way — and a
morning lane is practically beset
with miracles.
Well, about a hundred yards
from the bat's stood a sentinel
pine where the ground was cov-
ered with needles, It was like a
tunnel. Almost every morning
we'd surprise an old crow who
was guarding his hearthside up
there. I guess he sat looking far
off to discern marauding hordes
at the horizon, and neglected his
ceilpi' window, All at once he'd
realize the enemy had sapped
him, so he'd squawk and fly
away in a sky -rending caco-
phony of raucous discord.
One morning I heard sma.li
voices up there, so I climbed the
pine and got me one, Wilh
skinned knees and elbows, for it
was a lofty climb, I cane dawn
with the youngster inside my
shirt, and we became fast
friends, Of•alt the useless things
in all the world, I suppose a pet
crow is the most useless, but he
was sort of fun and he probably
kept me from adopting Worse
hobbies, So, this may .be news
for lovers of bluebirds and or-
ioles, but 1 lean toward the black
old crow as a harbinger and song-
bird friend — by John Gould in
the Christian Science Monitor.

The sugar maple, famous for
syrup, candy, and autumn beauty
is undergoing dramatic changes
little noticed by the public.
The traditional spring "sugar -
in' off" was not as abundant as
it was 20 years ago in New
England.
The sugar maple Industry as a
whole has suffered a general de-
cline since 1950, says Linwood
Leshure, of Ashfield, Mass,. a
recognized authority on the sugar
maple, Some of the reverses have
been economic, some. natural,
some man-made,
• • •
The sugar maple itself has
other woes than just that of eco-
nomic slowdown. Existence of
the tree itself is threatened by
indiscriminate cutting in some
areas for use of the lumber in
bowling and house -building in-
dustries and by blight.
Production of maple syrup,
which is used as syrup on pan-
cakes or as candy, has become
impractical for the small farmer.
• • •
The latter, once the basic pro-
ducer for the industry, has found
that he cannot make a profit
when the market price for a gal-
lon of maple syrup is $6, and a
laborer receives $12 or more a
day.
Through the 1920's, a gallon of
syrup and a day's wages would
be about the same, and the farm-
er could hire outside help for the
maple tapping. Now, with the
wage twice as great, the farmer
must leave his sugaring for other,
more economically sound fields.
• • •
Mr, Leshure points out that
modern methods of organization
and tapping, such as central boil-
ing camps, direct connections
between dree and evaporator, oil
heating for the boiling -down
vats, new agents to heal tap
holes, and modern transportation,
have helped to reduce costs,
But increased use of cane sugar
as a sweetener and poor sap
flows in t'2cent years, have tend-
ed to depress the industry,
* • *
Sugar maple wood is hard and
durable, able to withstand con-
stant and heavy use, For this
reason, says Mr, Leshure, the
bowling and house building in-
dustries consume a great amount
of wood for bowling pins, alleys,
and flooring.
The small farmer, unable to
exist by the syrup market, is
attracted by the $60 a cord paid
by bowling and building inter-
ests for maple, The farmer al-
lows these concerns to cut his
trees. The current popularity of
bowling and the high turn -over
in product (a bowling pin lasts
only three months) have encour-
aged thinning of the maple
forests. • • •
Other problems include the
construction of roads through
stands of maples, indiscriminate
use of weed sprays, unusual
variations in soil and air temper-
atures, lowering water tables,
and the spread of a blight.
Organizations such as the
Berkshire Pine and Maple. Asso-
ciation, the Departments of Pa-
thology of Vermont, Cornell, and
Pennsylvania Universities, and
the United States Government,
have been studying the situation,
but nothing conclusive as to a
definitive cause for the blight.
• • •
These ideas from C, B. Kelly,
O,A.C, botanist, may help you do
a better job spraying orchards
this summer.
Have you had your orchard
sprayer out yet to see if it needs
some repairs or replacements?
Better check the nozzles, screens,
valves, pressure regulator, hose
and connections, if you haven't
done so already. Will the engine
start easily? Will you have a
breakdown in' the middle of the
spray season just because a
pump or engine needed an over-
haul?
Remember to drain the water
from the spray outfit after you
try it out the first tune and again
every night if you are applying
early dormant sprays on fruit
trees. As long as we have freez-
ing temperatures at night there
is danger of the pump being
cracked when the water freezes
in it, • • •
Does orchard spraying take too
long? Before you buy a bigger
outfit take a careful look at your
equipment for filling the spray
lank. Is the water supply close
to the orchard or do you waste
a lot of time driving back and
forth from a distant supply?
Perhaps you need more than one
place to fill up? Or you might
haul water by truck direct to the
sprayer or to a supply tank. Have
you thought of a large catch
basin on a main tile drain as a
water supply, or a farm pond?
Is there lots of water or do you
run cut before noon? Is the sup-
ply tank targe enough and will
the water pump keep up with the
demand? • • •
Does the job of filling take too
long? Is there a large outlet
valve on the supply tank so that
you can fill quickly? Is the out-

LESSON
By Rev. It, Barrie) 1%'arren,
B.A., 11.1)•
Suffering for Christ's Sake
1 Peter 3:13-18; 4:1-5; 7-19.
Memory Scripture; Yet if any
man suffer as a Christian, let
him not be ashamed; but let him
glorify God on this behalf, 1
Peter 4:16
The problem. of suffering is al-
ways with us. In our lesson
Peter distinguishes between suf-
fering for Christ's sake and suf-
fering as an evil doer, He says,
"If ye be reproached for the
name of Christ, happy are ye;
for the spirit of glory and of God
resteth upon you." Christ is an
example of suffering for right-
eousness' sake. He "hath once
suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that he might bring us
to God." We should rejoice
when we are partakers of
Christ's sufferings. Some of our
missionaries know what this
means, Even in so-called Chris-
tian lands, some suffer for tak-
ing their stand for Jesus Christ.
Peter reminds his readers how
they used to walk in debauch-
ery, drunkenness, tippling and
recklesi'•dissfpithn;'Much of to-
day's suffering results from
wrong living, Youth, rebellious .
against the guidance of parents,
sometimes get to such an emo-
tional impasse that they need
psychiatric care. One 18 - year •
old was treated in a clinic for
alcoholism.
I was called to see a man in
jail. He wanted me to visit his
family and ask them to come
and visit him and convey to th 'm
his message for sorrow for ors
misbehaviour. I found his wife
had been too badly beaten to
come. He had been so drunk
that he hadn't realized what he
was doing. A picture on the wall
showed his wife in happier years.
Now, in abject poverty, she has
all but given up hope. He start-
ed on the free drinks provided
while he was serving in the army
'during the war. Finally he be-
came an alcoholic. What the
children have missed in ordi-
nary necessities of life and the
sense of security! This is suffer-
ing. I know a teenager in jail
for misdeeds following a drink-
ing party. He had a comfur't-
able home, but, alas, has gone
astray.
Many are suffering as a result
of their own sins. Jesus Christ
can save us from our sins if we
will repent of them and entrust
our lives to Him. Then, if we
suffer, we can endure in the
spirit of our Saviour who suf-
fered so much for us,
let arranged so that you can
drive under it easily and not
have to do a lot of jockeying to
get into the right position?
Where do 'you keep your spray
materials, measures, and scales?
Right beside the water supply?
Or do you like walking?
Are there wet spots in the or-
chard where you get stuck. The
answer may be an underdrain, or
do you need larger tires on the
sprayer?

Stupid Rules That
Embarrass The Queen
by I1ILEN CATi1CAlt'l'
Author of "Iter Majesty"—
a controversial biography
of (he Queen
Affectirwate messages poured
into Buckingham Palace recently
when the Queen celebrated the
tenth year of her reign. Among
them were greetings from friends
and relatives whom the Queen is
officially forbidden to meet,
As Defender of the Faith, the
Queen rust uphold the Church
of England's ancient principle
that marriage is indissoluble, The
Church does not recognize di-
vorce.
Hence the acid fact that 24,000
people a year join the band who
are banned at Buckingham Pa-
lace,
Now one of Prince Philip's
nieces, Princess Christina of
Yugoslavia, faces the risk of ex-
clusion, following recent divorce
proceedings, as does Captain
Oliver Dawnay, the Queen Moth-
er's former secretary. And the
Earl of Onslow, former Captain
of the Yeomen of the Guard, fig-
ures in present divorce lists.
Divorce protocol, in fact, con-
stantly leads the Queen into a
series of public, private and so-
cial embarrassments. Add to this
her position as Head of the Com-
monwealth — and the situation
tilts into sheer craziness.
As Queen of Canada, Her Ma-
jesty can formally shake hands
with a man who beats up his
wife. But the Queen cannon. in-
vite him aboard the royal yacht
Britannia — technically a royal
palace—if he's been found guilty
of adultery and divorced,
1 n England, however, t h e
Queen continually has to remem-
ber that handshakes with wife-
thrashers—or with women who
run away from their husbands—
are out,
• For cruelty and desertion are
both grounds for divorce in Eng-
lish law.
When the Queen dined with
the Shah of Persia, the compli-
cations were enough to give her
advisers diplomatic indigestion.
For the Shah's two divorces,
though admittedly Moslem, have
been among the world's most
public disentanglemenls.
When the King and Queen of
Sweden were given a state ban-
quet at Buckingham Palace, three
divorced Cabinet Ministers had
to be omitted from the list of
guests,
Yet they were considered elig-
ible for the corononation! By a
lorious wangle of words, the
glorious
meets then only in their
public capacity.
The Queen traditionally heads
the aristocracy. But a rollcall of
at least fourteen broken marri-
ages among the twenty-seven
duekdoms makes her task even
more invidious.
Officially, it's stressed, the
Queen cannot meet a divorcee,
Yet on political recommendation
she had to appoint Lord Listowel
her Governor-General in Ghana
—although he had been the guil-
ty party in a divorce suit.
The Queen could comfortably
sign his warrant of appointment,
He had not actually married an-
other woman while his first wife
was still living.
Imagine the Palace perplexity
when he suddenly married a
blues singer whose first marriage
had also ended in divorce! The
bombshell dropped just when
plans were being made for the
royal tour of Ghana in 1959. The
Queen's advisers faced a position
where she would be entertained
privately by a Governor-General
and his wife whom she couldn't
meet publicly,
Luckily, the expected birth of
Prince Andrew caused the tour
to be postponed and saved the
situation.
When Ghana became indepen-
dent in July 1960, this tricky
problem was resolved.
A divorce in the Armstrong -
Jones family was one reason why
Princess Margaret's wedding was
supposedly a private affair, not
e state wedding.
The innocent can, in fact, be
invited to certain function;; at
Buckingham Palace. They can
accept the Queen's private invi-
tations to the Ascot house -parties
at Windsor Castle.
But they mustn't wander on
the emerald strip of the Queen's
Lawn at the racecouse, where
divorcees are barred.
«'hen a top-ranking R.A.F. of-
ficer retired recently—after win-
ning three wartime decorations
for valour—he discovered that he
was not qualified to go to a royal
garden -party. A letter from the
Air Ministry bluntly advised him
that guilty parties in divorce
cases were not eligible,
The flying ace pointed out that,
although he had indeed been a
"guilty party," his ex-wife had
been dead for some years.
Back came the veto. It was
regretted that his name "could
not be submitted for the honour
of an invitation."
Although he could be invited
to receive three decorations from
his Sovereign, the hero didn't
merit an invitation to strawber-
ries and cream with 5,000 other
guests.
The rule apparently isn't made
to be broken—but it's clearly
made to be bent.
When Mr. and Mrs, Douglas
Fairbanks strolled the Queen's
lawns, though both divorced
from earlier partners, it was
pointed out that they held U.S.
diplomatic passes.
When the Queen went to a
Fairbanks' dance on one occasion,
criticism flared — and officials
delicately pointed out that an
American couple were not bound
by Church of England tenets on
divorce.
Strangely e n o u g h, divorces
have already occurred in the
heart of the Royal Family itself.
Until her recent death no Court
function seemed complete with-
out Princess Marie Louise.
Queen Victoria's grand -daugh-
ter was a dignified representa-
tive of the old regime. Yet her
husband complained that life
with her was intolerable and the
marriage was dissolved.
Queen Mary was one of the
strictest of royal ladies. On one
occasion, nevertheless, she stout-
ly befriended a young cousin,
who fell in love with a married
footman'and had a baby by him.
Old Queen Victoria was not
above ordering a. divorce when
.marriages among her innumer-.
.,able -German relatives went
tish'ay,
.Prince Philip, as the husband
of the Defender of the Faith, 'is
less encumbered, Indeed, five of
his first cousins have had their •
marriages dissolved, including
Helen, Queen Mother of Ruma-
nia, and Lady Iris Mountbatten.
Prince Philip, however, felt the
cold touch of the divorce ' laws.
when his congenial secretary,
Lieutenant -Commander Michael
Parker, had to resign from his
staff,
There are times when the
Duke of Windsor is invited to
lunch at Buckingham Palace. But
not the thrice -divorced. Duchess.
And only too often, the hypo-
crisy of divorce protocol clashes
with the Queen's own integrity.
Thus vociferous minorities raised
a storm around Prince Philip for
hobnobbing at a charity function
with Frank Sinatra and Ave
Gardner at the height of their
divorce crisis,
Yet the Queen is expected to
attend an annual film "command
performance," shaking hands
with sultry film stars in low-cut
gowns, some of whom have been
involved in divorce actions as
guilty parties.
To get over this one, the pre-
sentations are made in the thea-
tre foyer -before or after the
performance!
The retiring Archbishop of
Canterbury recently indicated his
sympathy with the Queen in her
divorce perplexity, We can surely
do better for royalty than this
morass of excuses, From "Tit -
Bits"
The fire disaster that killed the
greatest number of persons in

At this time of the year it is

easily be put to good use.. All
that is necessary is for those who
set the date for daylight saving
time to give the matter a little
more consideration, They might
then find it would be a better
policy to start D,S.T. earlier in
the year and wind up sooner in
the fall. From the first of April
to the end of September would,
I believe, suit everyone better,
Spring is a natural time for re-

be too far out of step with other
folk — especially at mealtimes.
There has to' be a certain amount
of conformity with the neigh-
bourhood to avoid domestic con-
fusion.
Maybe I am in a critical mood
because I have another "beef" to
air. And here it is, For the past
five years we have dealt almost
exclusively with one particular
bread company, whose. delivery
truck has been calling Tuesdays
and Saturdays a . little . before
noon, week in and week out. We
were always well satisfied with
both the products and the ser-
vice. So what happens? Sudden-
ly deliveries became very irreg-
ular — any time after five o'clock
at night, I asked the driver the
reason. He explained that his
company had taken over part of a
route from another company so
he had twice the number of calls
to make. Last Saturday it was
6.45 before the man called.
I watched him get out of the
cab, go to the back of the truck
for his basket and then walk
stiffly up the walk to our house.
"Look," I said to the fellow,
"I'm not blaming you but I don't
like these late deliveries, How
can I be sure you haven't forgot-
ten me? The stores are closed
and I've got visitors coming to-
morrow — I was beginning to
wonder if I would have enough
bread to feed them. Besides that,
you're so tired you're just about
dead on your feet !
"You can say that again — I've
been going since 5,30 this morn-
ing."
„
"I can believe it. Well, you can
tell your company that some of
your customers have been corn-
plaining and that either they re-
sume normal deliveries or I
change my baker,"
I was really annoyed. Here we
are with all kinds of men out of
work and yet those who have a
job are being made to work all
hours — and afraid to complain
in case they should be fired, I
am not in a position to know who
is really at fault, labour or man-
agement, But I am sure there is
a nigger in the woodpile some-
where. The result is chaos and
very unsatisfactory to the aver-
age housewife — to say nothing
of the wives of deliverymen,
anxiously waiting at home, won-
dering if their husbands have had
an accident on the road.
Will, last week we had vis-
itor overnight. We hadn't seen
each other for nearly a year so

An Alternative
To Fluoridation
Utah communities which vested
on fluoridation Nov, 7 turned
down use of fluorine in %eater
supplies, as a tooth decay pre-
ventitive,
We doubt very much if the re-
sounding defeat of fluoridation
in Utah cities can be interpreted
as opposition, in a degree pro-
portionate to the vote, to the
actual use of fluorine in water
as a dewy preventitive. Many
people, we feel, would like the
protection this ingredient pro-
vides but oppose platting it in the
water supply for various reasons.
Some, of these reasons, cited by
opponents of flnoridation, have
included: the cost involved; the
uneven distribution of fluorine
inasmuch as some persons drink
two or three tunes the vulume
of water which others in the
same family might drink; the
fact that there. is, no use Mr. fluor-
ine in the large quantities of
water that are. used for sprinkl-
ing and for industrial users; and
the "compulsouy" aspects of
fluoridation irr which, people who,
don't want it mast have it any-
way.
One• Provo, physician has point-
ed out that fluorine tablets cam
be purchased for $4'.50 per

Israel To Have
"An 'Unusual Zoo
One of the most original zoos
in the world ‘is nearly complete
in Israel, It contains, with few
exceptions, all the animals and
birds mentioned in the Bible,
Each cage ancl aviary bears the
appropriate Biblical quotation in
both English and hlebrew,
For instance, from the Song of
Solomon H. 15, comes: "Take us
the foxes, the little foxes that
spoil the vines,"
And, beyond this plaque arse
the foxes, leaping about.
The eagle is on show, together
with its mention in Ezekiel xvii.
3: "A great eagle with great
wings, longwinged, full of feath-
ers, which had divers colours,"
'.There, too, are "Wolves raven-
ing the prey" (Ezekiel xxii. 27),
and a lion whose cage has this
inscription from Proverbs xxx,
30: "A lion which is the strongest
among beasts, and turneth not
away for any,"
Finding a safe place in Jerusa-
lem for this novel zoo proved a
most difficult and hazardous task.
It was first situated near the
present border between the Arab
and Jewish parts of the Holy
City,
The tension, danger from
snipers' bullets and occasional
raids naturally kept visitors
flown to a minimum. It was
rather like having to Cranes Re-
gent's Park under fire to got to
.,ordon Zoo!
The Biblical Zoo is noes
over about twenty, p: aceft'l acres
of wooded land on a :lope of the
highest hill in Jerusalem, where
there are many natural caves and
rock formations.
Put the collectors have had
leveret other big headaches, , ,
About 130 different creatures
are mentioned in the Old Testa-
ment, Some were very hard to
Identify, either because o'igin-
tlly they had two or more names,
or because the same name was
£sed for more than one animal.
Also, words and their meanings
iend to change as time passes,
Then, of course, some of the
birds and animals referred to in
the Bible are extinct. These have
been replaced by their closest iiv-
trig relations.
An Indian leopard has been
substituted for the local variety,
exterminated in Palestine before
the 1939-45 war; and an African
ostrich, for the long -dead Syrian
bird.
Other creatures which have
stied out in Israel have had to be

brown bears, obtained from the
London Zoo, have been breeding
prolifically in their natural sur-
roundings. Red deer and fallow
[leer have also come from Britain
—the former from the Duke of
Bedford's Woburn Abbey Estate,
Roe deer have hacl to be brought
from Belgium, and Barbary
sheep, once common in Palestine,
have been acquired from Hol•
land. At the time of writing, only
three more animals are needed
for a full house, They are the
Arabian oryx, the hippopotamus
and the white -nosed antelope,
As well as animals and bird ,
the Jerusalem Zoo will soon cor-
tain many of the plants, trees ani
crops mentioned in the Bible,

aquarium, although it is unlike I-
ly that there tvill be room) in it
for Jonah's whale!
Another feature is the recon-
struction of Biblical events in
tvhich anneals played a big part,
such as Noah's Ark.

Meter Maids Make
Much More Moola
Nobody was absolutely certain
that the introduction of meter
maids in Baltimore would pro-

girls had done all these things in
other cities and it seemed likely
they could do the same here.
They have,
A mere ten of them, patrolling
only half the meters in the city,
have boosted summonses for
parking violations phenomenally.
Before the ladies arrived on the
scene last May, the monthly av-
erage for parking tickets was
6,500. Now it is 13,000. Meter col-
lections are also up, And some of
the men on the force formerly
assigned to checking parking
violations are now used for other
duties.
Not surprisingly, the head of
the traffic division is urging the
city to double this force. On the
basis of the record so far, it looks
like a profitable proposal,'_ The
Evening Sun (Baltimore).

He Goes Fishing
With a Kite!
Visitors to llemsby, near Cais-
ter, Norfolk, are astonished to
find an enthusiastic angler catch-
ing large fish by standing on the
beach and flying a kite.
Mr Stephen Chaney, owner of
holiday chalets and bungalows,
fishes for a hobby, and his un-
usual methods, practised with a
strong wind blowing offshore,
sometimes bring him a catch of
twenty codlings in a few hours,
Prize specimens usually tip the
scales at from seven t0 nine
pounds. His technique has em-
erged after long and often dis-
appointing experiments. B u t
helped by his fisherman -brother,
Mr. Walter Chaney, he stuck to
his notion that, by using a kite
to carry a baited line a fair dis-
tance out to sea, he could fish
from any non -rocky coastline in
weathers unsuitable for any small
boat to put to sea.
So, even in stormy weather, he
could catch fish beyond the wild-
est dreams of ordinary anglers.
He has built himself a number
of kites, varying diagonally from
3ft. 9in. to 5ft. He flies them
singly, or, if the going is espe-
cially rough, in series.
His kite carries a baited line,
which he releases as he decides.
And, due to the nylon cord, con-
trolled by his beach winch, the
kite can be flown three-quarters
of a mile out at sea.
The secret of this novel tech-
nique lies in his method of at-
taching lead weights, hooks and
line to his kite cord. They are
carried about 100 yards behind
the kite.
His problem for a long time
was how to drop them into the
sea. Now, by tying them, to the
nylon cord with wool, he has no
difficulty in bringing about the
required "drop,"
Shortly after the• kite reaches
its mark, the strain put • by the
fishing line on the wool fastening
may break it, Or, if the wool is
at all obstinate, Mr. Chaney
merely gives his nylon cord a
powerful jerk or two, and away
she goes, for his baited hooks to
plunge into the sea below,
He winches in his kite, but
hauls in his fishing line by hand,
He gets exciting sport in all
weathers.
How Can 1?
Ry Roberta Lee
Q. lloty can 1 shorten a plastic
raincoat?
A. One very good way t0 ac-
complish this is to turn up the
hem and stick it into place with
some adhesive tape,
Q. What is a good way to clean
copper?
A. You can clean copper easily
and economically by rubbing it
with a half - lemon dipped in
salt, then rinsing with hot water,
and polishing with a soft cloth,
Q. Do you have Inv solution to
offer for a stair carpeting that is
beginning to show signs of wear?
A. Try moving the carpeting
up or down, so the worn areas
will cover the risers, instead of
the treads, Cut off the extra ma-
terial at the top or bottom of the
carpet, and then tack or sew it to
the other end. If this is done, the
carpeting will give you about
twice as much service.
