Past April Was One Of The
Best On Record
(by Louis Stadleulan)
After such n sunny March we have
had very much sun again in April, in
Pact we had one of the sunuicst April'
on record. Compared wa.li last year':
139 hours of sunshine for the same
period, we recorded 216 hours of sun
for last month, which is cle: e to the
maximum amount possibly registered
In our area for a month this time of
the year. The only day without any
sunny period was Friday the 13th
when we had rain and snow, alma!
;an inch of it,
€;idea its tuat:,ual brightness April
has brought us day;, we meetly don';
expect front •its proverbial reputathor
for changeable, stormy and vari::bir
weather. The first half of the mute
was ratter 'cool, &specially at night
The lowest temperature t' as register
ed on the 17th when the thernloinetei
read 20 degrees above and the warmest
(lay was the 2.7111 when the lnercurj
reaehod 8:1 degrees, which is (Ink
warm for April.
Precipita(ion has been markedly
below average, r, spci ialJy if ave (01 n•
pare with the last years for the same
period, but somehow we ;;coin to hat'C
struck a happy medium, which on one
Sidi! .5111110(1 0 very p('Ooitt ing growth
;and on the other gave us the Brumes;
we like to work our fields. 'I'hc anemia
of rain received last month was LG(

snow only 1.4 inches, rontpared lo ar
most. 8 incites for April last year. 'tra-
ce; of the quite heavy Winter snolvfal
1901.62 were still visible in our area
up to tJle 22nd.
Last but not least, the first thunder•
storm of the season has made ifs ap
pearence rather late this year, hul
with quite a epectacular bang.
Everything considered, we have very
good reasons fn he pretty catiefied the
wa,y Mother Nature has handed out
tl!ings up till now this year and let';
hope everybody's expectations for a
promising one will be fulfilled,

Flower As Cure
For Leukaemia
A drug obtained from the
spring -flowering, blue - coloured
periwinkle is now being used by
some physicians in the United
States in the war against leu-
kaemia, a disease in which there
is an excess of white corpuscles.
When the drug, known as leu-
rocristine, was tested recently,
scientists and doctors reported
that it showed "great promise."
The tests took place in Indian-
apolis, where natives are believ-
ed to have once used this attrac-
tive little plant in their folk
cures.
It is too early yet to say how
effective the new drug will prove.
One snag is that great quantities
of periwinkle plants are needed
to me.ke even one gramme (about
0.035 oz.) leurocristine.
Other drugs have been made
by scientists from the periwinkle
and those are now undergoing
tests to see if they are effective
in the treatment of various com-
plaints.
Old-time herbalists believed
that the way periwinkles cling to
the soil was a sign that the blue
flower, and glossy evergreen
leaves could bind husbands and
ICS JAM ABOVE THE FALLS — At Niagara Falls, N.Y., large ice floes from the spring
break-up in Lake Erie jam Niagara River channels above the falls, cutting off the flow
of water and, for a short time, making an ice island at the brink of Horseshoe Falls.
wives n'ho ate them "with indis-
soluble bonds of affection." Herbs
from the periwinkle Were pre-
scribed as a cure tor unhappy
marriages.
The flower that the English
poet Chaucer — with his quaint
spelling — called "fresh Peri-
vinke rich of hew" was also
used as an amulet against witch-
es under the name of Sorcerer's
Violet.
In Britain, periwinkles usually
flower in April and May, and in
southern Europe by mid-Febru-
ary.
One naturalist visiting the
Canary Islands early in the year
found them blooming in such
profusion, he reported, that
"hedges and grass plots were
dyed blue with them for many
hundreds of yards."
American View of
Jobless Retraining
No one can fault the objective
of the manpower training act
just signed by President Ken-
nedy. It is to provide new skills
—and new jobs—for the unem-
ployed who have been displaced
by autotnation and other eco-
nomic change.
Retaining of the displaced is a
must if our country is to continue
to prosper and to hold its place of
leadership in the free world. Au-
tomation and changing trade pat-
terns will create opportunity
which can be meet only by a bet-
ter educated, higher skilled, more
productive working force,
But there is more to the prob-
lem than simply sending the un-
employed back to school at gov-
ernment expense. That could
turn out to be a costly boondog-
gle and—if improperly handled
—just another, and potentially
scandalous, version of a federal
dole.
The program now being laun-
ched is expected to spend $000
million (including state matching
funds) to train 570,000 unemploy-
ed workers in three years. It fig-
uresout to more than $1,000 per
trainee—well worth it if most of
them get jobs, but money clown
a ratho!e if they don't.
Past experience has shown
there is no point in training peo-
ple unless you know there will
be a demand for their new skills
once they're trained. And there
equally is no point in training
jobless workers — however de-
serving otherwise—who lack the
education and ability to profit by
what they learn.
It will take a real effort by
private industry, local and state
agencies and the federal govern-
ment to make this program a suc-
cess. We wish them well. —

Would you like to make a real
Hungarian goulash? Mrs, Char-
lotte Miller, sent in this recipe,
writing, "Hungarian goulash is a
fragrant one -dish meal ... it is
not a potted pleat with gravy. It
is a choice bit of meat and po-
tatoes in its own soup to be serv-
ed in deep bowls with spoon and
fork." This is how it is made:
HUNGARIAN GOULASH
3 pounds fresh, lean beef cut
into 1 -inch cubes
to cup bacon fat
1,; cup yellow onions cut into
bits
tablespoon salt
teaspoon ground pepper
(you may like less)
1 raw tomato (or 2 tablespoons
tomato sauce)
?vlix all ingredients; cover
tightly; cook over low flame on
top of stove for 2 hours, (Ed,
note: beef is usually first brown-
ed for a stew like this,) Then
add:
1 quart stuck or water
1 pound potatoes, peeled and
cut into ci;-hn, cubes
111 cup homemade noodle
squares
Cook slowly 15 minutes longer,
then garnish with 1/4 cup fresh

sweet paprika. Serve in deep
bowls.
HOMEMADE NOODLES
1 egg
Flour
I'1ix with a fork, using ail the
flour the egg takes up. Mix
about 1 minute. When it dries,
roll to N -inch thickness and cut
into 1/4 -inch squares, (These will
keep in glass jar indefinitely).
Another one -dish meal was
sent by Mrs. Rikki Kerns. "I have
made this dish for some time with
success; it is original and 1 am
sure Christian Science Monitor
readers have not had it before,"
she says, although she uses hcef
rather than lamb for her "Shep-
herd's Pie." "This is very tasty
served with garlic bread and a
green salad. It can be made the
day before and left in the refrig-
erator unbaked, until needed."
DE LUXE SHEPHERD'S PIE
1 pound ground chuck or round
of bee!'
2 large onions, sliced
Pepper and salt

Fry ground meat and onions
until done: add seasonings and
bouillon cube cut into pieces,
Mix in flour and enough water
(or juice from mushrooms) to
make into thick sauce, Cook
together with salt, the root vege-
tables, cutting carrots (and tur-
nips, if used) into thin strips;
plash; add butter and cheese,
grated or cut into small pieces.
Pour meat sauce in bottom of
large casserole. Spoon plashed
vegetables carefully on top,
smoothing with a fork. Add more
grated cheese. Cover; bake at
350° F. 45-60 minutes, removing
IId during last 15 minutes of
baking,
While we're on the subject of
one -dish meals, a "different" one
was sent by Mrs. Arthur Eggin-
son. Here it is:
SPICY BEEF tVITH RICE

2 -inch cubes

bacon fat
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped

Church Sunday
Among The Amish
Church Sunday in Amishland
comes every other week, in strict
observance with tradition, and it
makes for a busy day indeed,
Services, held in the homes of
members, begin at eight -thirty
and this means that families must
rise at four to get chores out of
the way if they are to he there
on time.
On any chosen Sunday morning
the yellow glow of lamplight may
be observed in all the Amish
hones in our valley at this early
hour, And inside the homes the
work progresses with assembly -
line precision, Al the Zaugg's,
Hilda and Amos feed the live-
stock and milk the cows while
Emmeline does the housework
and prepares breakfast,
The milk must be strained and
put to cool, all pails and strain-
ers are washed and scalded and
put to air out at the milk house,
where a laundry stove is fired
up to provide boiling water each
morning, summer and winter,
And a warm mash for the hens
and COWS 5111)111ers there on bitter
mornings as well.
Stables are not cleaned on the
Sabbath, but mangers are filled
with hay and cribs are provided
with corn. if snow has fallen dor-
ingh the night, paths must be
shovelled, No wonder the family
is ready for the substantial
breakfast which they presently
sit to eat by lamplight!
After the meal, all dishes are
washed and put away, dairy pro-
ducts are taken to the spring -
house, and Emmeline and i!ilda
find time to sandwich in two
chores that are a "must" on this
day: the preparation of a pot of
soup (usually noodle) to be eaten
when the family gets home, and
the packing of a basket to take
to church for the traditional noon
lunch there, This never varies;
it is as traditional as an Amish -
woman's bonnet or an Amish -
man's broadfall pants. It is moon
pies (dried apple fried pies made
the day before) pickles, most
often the red -beet variety; cheese
and bread.
A hot drink to accompany the
meal is brewed in the home
where church is held in shiny
zinc tubs or lard cans which are
never used for any other. pur-
pose. And the steam fronlboil-
ing water on the kitchen range is
a never -failing accompaniment
to any morning service.
People not familiar with this
region might wonder, as they
view the scene from cars flash-
ing along our stretch of highway,
what is going on, A little after

In the designated barn lot, rigs
are parked 1n rows, their shafts
lowered to the ground, and
horses are tethered in long rows
by young hostelers, who are us-
ually the SOS of the house, plus
a friend or two.

baskets are left 01) the back

weather space must be found for
them 1n the kitchen. Men and
women sit apart for the services.
Sometimes they occupy different
sides of the long room made by
folding or removing partitions

the men sit in front.
The women's side presents a

If there is only One preacher
present, several deacons and lay-
men may be heard from during
the morning, It is strictly a man's
world — except for the singing,
They conduct the business of the
church, make the reports and do

time than it would take to round

across the lakes, the logs would
be sluiced into the stream below
and continue on their way.

would look askance at the boom -
juniper, and few of thein would
care to ride over a boons and
chug -a -lug clown a lake amidst
25,000 cords of spruce, It is a
seafaring experience best left in
the culture of the old river -
driver, To each his own, but if
life owes you a new and dif-
ferent experience, I suggest you
lop things off with a good ride
in a boons -juniper.
Down at the mills, where the
flush -boards on the dams were
awash, the arrival of the first,
logs was an Occasion. Crews had
the area boomed off, so the logs
could be held up, At sluiceways
the ownership was determined,
and logs that belonged to a mill
downstream were passed through.
Those belonging there were head-
ed toward the tramway and lift-
ed Onto the bank, to be used as
needed, Long logs, unpeeled, had
to be boonird in the water, of
bugs would get at them,
The drive, anyway, was over
- except for the "log -watch
wlio patrolled the river all sum-
mer looking for strays, and pos-
sibly logs some riparian oppor-
tunist had yanked out en passant
to 'enlarge his woodpile. Some-
times a log -watch would have
the job of throwing a man's
whole supply back in the river,
just because it had a spot of red
paint on every stick, Herding a
swarm of bees across the great
plains without losing a bee is a
good story; bringing a million
cords of wood down the Kenne-
bec is just as good, and they ltd
it.
All of which sums up to the
point that this annual spring
surge in Niaine was our economy
at work, The freshet was good
news, and the drive was the big
event, So times change and opin-
ions vary, Afterwards, the river -
drivers went to farming, whit-
tling, working in sawmills, and
perhaps guiding - something to
do until the mills began hiring
again in the fall, and the cooks
began baking beans again, and
the work started to get timber
ready for another ice -out, - by
John Gould in the Christian Sci-
ence Monitor,
Q. How can I ]nix starch for
use on dark materials?
A. Mix the starch with cold
tea. A substitute for starch to
be used on black or dark blue
materials is to dissolve one tea-
spoon of gelatine in a quart of
water,

SPARLING'S HARDWARE
Super Snoops In
Sunny Italy
A red jeep loaded tyith riot
police raced through the predawn
streets of Rome, Its tires scream-
ed as it wheeled sharply up to
Bricktop's famous nightclub on
the star-studded, scandal -haun-
ted Via Veneto. The jeep screech-
ed to a halt, A elan and woman
emerged from the club, arum in
arm. She wore a leopard -skin
coat; he had a rumpled head of
hair. Once again, the running
story of Liz and Dickie was in
high gear,
And in high gear, too, was the
flamboyant, fast-moving band of
news photographers known as
the paparazzi. Before the car-
abinieri could jump from their
jeeps, the paparazzi surged for-
ward. Flashbulbs blazed from
every angle,
"Come on, let's get out of here
fast," said Dickie to Liz. "Easy,
easy now," said Liz to Dickie,
They pressed toward Dickie's
gray Cadillac, more flashes light-
ing the way. As the police kept
the paparazzi at bay, the Caddy
roared off through the sleepy
streets.
The car eased to a stop at Liz's
place Except for the chauffeur,
they thought they were alone,
But as Liz and Dickie stepped
from the car, they found com-
pany. From the bushes, cameras
flashing, leaped more of the
peppy paparazzi.
Everywhere, the press rang the
Liz and Dickie and Eddie tri-
angle. To news columns and gos-
sip columns, this was The Affair.
The big news — official word
Liz and Eddie would part —
didn't stop the news flood.
Mopping up, New York report-
ers noted that Eddie never really
suspected that his marriage was
on the rocks. ("He must have
been getting his information from
the CIA," said comic Dick Greg-
ory,) And the day after the split,
reporters reported that Dickie
left Liz's villa at 8.30 a.m. "after
entering sometime earlier, unno-
ticed by watching photograph-
ers." When the paparazzi spotted
him, Dickie dropped the Siamese
cat he was carrying. Suzy, New
York Mirror gossipist, promptly
revealed that Dickie's male Si-
amese had a thing about a fe-
male cat of Liz's.
Meanwhile, back at the set of
"Cleopatra," a movie Liz and
Dickie are making in Rome, the
show went on: "The Unsinkable
Liz Is All Biz as She Sails Into
Orgy Scene," was the way The
New York Daily News head-
lined it, But one Italian news-
paper broke into the set's biz.
The paper said it wasn't Dickie
.at all that caused the breakup.
It was Joseph L. Mankiewicz,
director of "Cleopatra," Liz was
in love with Mankiewicz, Dickie
was a cover-up. Mankiewicz par-
ried the report: "The real truth
is that I am in love with Burton
and Miss Taylor is the cover-up
for us." Eventually, the papers
were reduced to guessing where
Liz would go for the divorce —
probably Las Vegas, site of the
marriage three years ago,
Everybody had a gasser, but
no group got more fun out of the

shenanigans than the paparazzi,
the scanvengers named after a
photographer, Paparazzo, in di-
rector Federico Fillini's film "La
Dolce Vita." Fellini devised the
name, he said, because it Made
hint "think of a buzzing, darting,
stinging insect."
Some Roman phutogrephers,
of whom perhaps 40 specialize in
invading the privacy of celebri-
ties, resent being lumped with
the paparazzi. "I ant no papar-
azzo," said Umberto Spagna, a
free-lance who sells his shots to
weekly magazines and foreign
press agencies for $5 to $300
each, "They are bunts, and I ant
a professional." Spagna, the pro-
fessional, boasts: "1 was the pho-
tographer who hid under Filip-
pino Orsini's bed for seven hours
waiting for hint to enter with
Belinda Lee. When I. shot the
picture he hit she over the head
with a chair, but I got my cul-
paccio,"
A culpaccio is a big scoop!
Prefer 'Brandy Dogs'
To Helicopters
The mountain folk of French
Savoy prefer dogs to helicopters
as a means of rescue. They claim
that St. Bernards are more effic-
ient in rough weather.
These famous rescue dogs —
traditionally equipped with a
small barrel of brandy — are
now making a comeback after
having been in danger of becom-
ing extinct,
A Frenchman, M. Charles Cle-
ment, and his wife, who own five
dogs, are opening a breeding
farm at Bourg St. Maurice, in the
Savoy. This picturesque village
is near Petit St, Bernard, and its
now - abandoned monastery, one
of the passes across the main
chain of the Alps.
The monastery was once the
centre for these massive dogs
which stand up to twenty -seven -
and -a -half inches at the shoulder.
St. Bernards have been kept by
monks at the Hospice of St. Ber-
nard in the Swiss Alps since the
latter part of the seventeenth
century. But over the years work
for the dogs has been reduced by
the building of new roads and
railway tunnels.
Monks still keep some St. Ber-
nards today, But there are only
about 100 left in France and less
than fifty in Switzerland.
There are just two breeds of
dogs whose task is saving life —
St. Bernards and Newfoundlands.
St. Bernards, accompanying
monks, have saved hundreds of
lives, particularly workmen
trapped by snow or storm,
St. Bernards are faithtful, gen-
tle and highly intelligent. The
original breed is extinct and the
present breed was produced by
crossing Newfoundland with Py-
renean sheepdog.
The only training puppies need
is to run with the older dogs on
patrol tours,
They are difficult to rear, but
it is untrue that they can be
raised only in Switzerland. There
are a ,few breeder's in America
and elewhere.
St. 'Bernards can be trained to
become good "nannies" -- they
will look after children with
great care and tenderness.
Much of the St. Bernard's res-
cue work is legendary. People in
the French Savoy district still
talk of the famous "Barry." He
once carried food and drink to
eighty-five people overcome dur-
ing; storms, but he died in the
snow looking for his master.
tt. It' a man is standing on a
crowded bus near his fiancee,
who is seated, and the seat next
to her is vacated, may he proper-
ly seat himself next to her, or is
he supposed to allow one of the
standing women nearby to take
the seat?
A. He should certainly allow a
nearby woman to take the seat.
SYMBOLIC OF THINGS TO COME? — "There's something
hat doesn't love o wall," said the poet Robert Frost, an
hat "something" has toppled 90 feet of the Berlin "Wall
f Shame," as it its called. Many in the free world hope the
all of the wall, above, will be symbolic of things to come.
SAND DOIN'S —
beach sand of the
preparing for the
With summer just around the corner, the;
French Riviera is screened to get it dean,,
many holiday and vacation sunbathers.
Good Friday, as everyone
knows, was a beautiful day —
and were the neighbours ever
busy in their gardens! And so
were the fire -reels. Three times
in this district bonfires got out
of control; three times fire
sirens came screaming along the
highway. Twice they turned
down the road leading to our
little subdivision and in a short
while each fire was subdued,
leaving only the charred ground,
Thank goodness no buildings
were involved — but there could
have been an odd shack or two
except for the prompt action of
the fire department. What would
we do without it? There is a lot
of waste ground around here
and of course it is infested with
weeds. Naturally the owners get
busy at the first opportunity,
cutting, raking and burning, not
realizing the ground is unusual-
ly dry for this time of the year.
Needless to say the fires created
plenty of excitement for the
children.
Like everyone else we ht've
been poking around in the gar-
den, looking to see what trees
and shrubs have survived the
winter, Actually they all look
pretty healthy. The rabbits
didn't get a chance to nibble at
the roots as Partner had a tar-
paper wrapping around e a c h
shrub, Our biggest surprise was
inside the house, not out. Our
Christmas cactus, that was in
full bloom at Christmas, is now
blooming again for Easter. I had
that happen once before. Seems
to me the cactus is a tempera-
mental sort of plant and just
blooms when it feels like it.
More power to it anyway. Yes,
a cactus blooming out of season
is all right but oh dear, how
much better it would be to see
the bare trees coming into leaf.
But, of course, you know hew
it goes — late Easter, late spring,
Well, there have been more
arresting topics for conversation
this last week than gardens and
bare trees. The dissolution of
Parliament for instance and the
promise of a Federal election
on June 18. One tiling you can
be sure of ... this column will
not indulge in one-sided politics.
It is bad enough to think of two
months' political propaganda
without adding to it. Anyway,.
Partner and I have never been
biased to the extent of saying—
"This is my party, right or
wrong!" We think there is al-
ways good and bad on either
side. Naturally when it conies
to a vote we have to make a de-
cision, And then if we lose our
votes we don't immediately
-
think the country is doomed to
destruction, nor that former
friends automatically become
our enemies. This is still a _free
country so why shouldn't we
admit that we don't ail have to
think alike.
Also last week there was
plenty of excitement about
N.H.L, Hockey — •
about those two unpr c, lsbte
games in Chicago a n d Toronto.
Everyone wants to know why
the Leafs do so badly in Chica-
go and play such a good game
on home ice. Partner has an
idea it is because Toronto ice
is twenty feet longer, I say the
Leafs never play well in white
sweaters! Anyway, by the time
this column gets in the mail we
may know who has won the
ooveted Stanley Cup -- and then
the suspense will be over.
Another little matter, of quite
a different nature, really has me
buzzled — purely on a domestic
asis. It is this, I often wonder
ISSUE 19 — 1962
about the unsettled lives of sa
many young married' couples —
is it tt gond thing, or isn't it 1
am referring to the number of
families w here the father is
away from home so much —
calling on clients all day and
getting home late at night, or
working in a different district
entirely and just getting home
week -ends. I notice in such cases
Daddy makes a practice of
bringing home something tor
the children each week -end.
And I rather fancy, because he
sees so little of the kiddies he is
inclined to be a little lax on
discipline. Children are quick to
take advantage of such a situa-
tion so it generally means that
mother gets left with most of
the training to do, After all a
man must go where his work
takes him and he naturally
wants to make up for lost time
with his children when he gets
home. I mention it just because
it may not have occurred to
Daddy that in spoiling his chil-
dren over the week -end he is
making it more difficult for his
wife during his absence. How-
ever, there is one thing any
young mother appreciates, and
that is for Daddy to take the
children off her hands for
awhile. Do I hear a chorus of
approval?
Well, we are almost to the end
of Easter Sunday — and we had
our Easter Bunnies — three of
them. One full grown and two
juniors having a grancl old time
on our back lawn.
Now I'm going ta watch the
hockey — sixth game in the
finals. Next morning. Well, we
watched the hockey all. right —
and what a game it was!: Leaf.s
finally won in Chicago—shorter
ice,. white sweaters and all.!!
Three cheers for the Leafs, ,
yes, and the Hawks too. It was
a well fought series- from be-
ginning, to, end. But of course
we are glad the Leafs won:

Truth Slow To
Overtake A Lie
Like many another company,
E.I. du Pont de Nemours has
been dogged for years by a dam-
aging rumor about one of its
products. As usual, the canard
was as indestructible as it was
inaccurate, The fiction: "'lection,"
a tough, nearly frictionless plas-
tic used in a variety of indus-
trial tasks, emits lethal fumes
when heated.
'I'lie rumor gained currency
about the lime du Pont started
rasing Telfon as a non-stick lin-
ing greaseless frying pans, The
company introduced the pans in
Europe, delayed selling them in
the U.S, while three Feenchi lab-
oratories, in separate scientific
studies, checked out the story
and found' it baseless. Even so,
the tumors and' the fryinge pans
hit the domestic market simul-
taneously.
Unlike most victims, du Pont
chose to leap out of the frying
pan... In a pamphlet it was distri-
buting to customers and news-
papers last month, the company
outlined the history of the rumor
and its own dogged, fruitless
efforts to scotch it,
The story apparently started in
the mid-1950s after du Pont
warned that under extreme heat
and poor ventilation, 'I'ci[drr
ftrtttes could produce mild efforts
similar to, symptoms of fru, The'
fiction spread mainly through'
military told industrial safety
bulletins—usually with v grue-
some little anecdote about a ma-
chinist who allegedly died after
smoking a cigarette continrinat'ed'
with Telfnn, In every case, dui

case history shows, the retrac-
tions never caught up witl'r the
rulnoI•s.
An Air Force publication in
Texas printed the rumor- last
May. It apologized a month later:s
but the May story was picked up
in the bulletin of an Air Vince
base in Michigan; the bike's fire
chief took the story to a fire'
chief's convention in Detroit;•
shortly thereafter, the British
Columbia Fire Chiefs Association
printed the report, ancf a doctor
in Kitmat, B.C., wrote about it
in a letter to the Caned'ian Medi-
cal Association Journal,
Wistfully, a du Pont official
said recently that the pamphlet
was issued In the belief that
"pnopie are essentially fair; andi
when tney know the' facts, they
will give Telfon fair play,"
John Zapp, du Pont toxicol-
ogist, was Fess sanguines "O'ne'
company quite recently copied
the story," Zapp wrote in the
pamphlet, "'and sent 13T copies -
of its version to. locations, in the.
United' States, Canada and' Mex-
ico, And while this company
states that each of these locations
has since received a retraction,

Mrs, Crowbar's Bed
Causes Much Trouble
It was a bed to dream about.
Artfully constructed by Britain's
Multi -Springs, Ltd., it was first
displayed at a furniture exhihi-
tion anti then deposited in all its
grandeur in an Oxford Stltet
window of Selfridge's depart-
ment store. Six feet (i inches long
and 5 feet wide, it had 1,240 bed -
Linings and a framework gilded
in 24 -carat gold. Above the bed
cover of highest quality brocade,
u gold-plated crown let, loose
cascades of white nylon.
Although they ooh -ed and ah-
cI, women shopper, passed by
after reading the price tag:
£3,(10(1 ($8,400). 13ut hot bright-
e'ycd Mary Edusci, ;;8 -year-old
wife Of Kroh;) Edusei, the Gha-
naian Minister of Industries
whose first name aad rough -
tough tactics have e:;n)bincd to
give him the nickname of "Crow-
bar." "I took one Ir,uk at the
bed," Mrs. Edusei said, "and I
told thyself: That's for roc'."
It was. She paid for it with a
personal check and had five
workmen lug it to the fashion-
rible West End apartment she has
been occupying for the past year.
"1 sow it, I liked it, 1 brught it,"
OK said.
'I'o Mary Edusei the transaction
was --or should have been- a
highly personal matter. But
when news of the purchase
reached Accra, less elegantly
bedded numbers of the National
Council of Ghana Women staged
a protest march. Newspapers
railed against politicians allow-
ing their wives "to indulge their
caprices," and husband Krobo
was "very, very much embar-
rassed."
He had reason to be. A $22-
n -month bill collector in pre -
independence days, he led the
tight to subjugate the Ashanti
tribesmen who guard Ghana's
"golden stool" as the symbol of
their ancient powers. He was
also one of six ministers recently
told -as a part of President
Kwame Nkrumah's' new socialist
"austerity program" - that he
could not own two houses worth
more than $56,000.
Indignantly, Krobo placed a
3,600 -mile long-distance call to
London. "Send that bed back at
once," he thundered to his wife.
"I am a No, 1 Nkrumahist: I be-
lieve in socialism. A gold-plated
£3,000 bed is not socialism,"
Mary faltered. "I am just a
woman -I don't understand poli-
tics," she said. She agreed to re-
turn the bed, then slyly added
that she had hoped to bring it
back home—"as a surprise,"
This might have calmed most
husbands, but not Krobo. Sur-
prise, hell, he stormed: The im-
port duty on a bed like that
would amount to nearly, $4,000.
This must have sounded like an
irrefutable argument. But when
be checked later on to see if
the ling, really had been return-
ed, li;'obo found that Mary had
changed her mind.
Seifridge's movers had just ar-
rived at Bentinck Street to re-
trieve the golden bed. But they
found the door of MI's, Edusei's
apartment was locked.
Why, was the question a re-
porter put to her over the tele-
phone,
Mary Edusci burst into tears.

Why Ivan Can't Play
Galina Novikova, the 12 -year-
old (laughter of a Moscow librari-
an, arrived home at 3:20 one aft
crur:en l:' a nh"nth after a six-
hcur d::v alt Moscow's Public
School 18. She nibbled at a late
lunch of pork cutlets, and started
right in on her homework. She
polished off two Russian gram-
mar Exercises before attending a
remedial gym class in the neigh-
borhood -then stole a few min-
utes to play outdoors, After that,
the blue-eyed sixth -grader went
back to her desk, For French
class, she conjugated a verb and
answered ten questions about a
picture; for literature, she wrote
a synopsis of a chapter from a
Turgenev novel, Finally, Galina
went to work on fourteen mathe-
matics problems like this one:
36%-45#83V7 ; }3 •: y+20k
(2' 8y,-2 ' } •2351'13Yri•5 •n
13y the time Galina had solved
the problems, she could only
gulp a glass of milk and a cheese
sandwich and tumble gratefully
into bed. It was 11:30. In eight
hours, she had to be up for an-
other school clay.
The arithmetic problems
change, but the homework goes
on and on for millions of Russian
children like Galina — and the
heavy burden placed on them
now worries' parents and teachers
alike, "Is it normal," a Moscow
father wrote recently to Pravda,
"for my 10 -year-old son to have
four hours of homework?"
A sympathetic teacher in Unecha,
300 miles southwest of Moscow,
said: "It is strange that a factory
worker works seven hours, but
his son and daughter -if they
are in senior classes -sometimes
work ten and twelve hours
daily,"
Galina Novikova doesn't com-
plain about the amount of home-
work she has to do—but , her
mother does, "It's a long day for
a child," says Mrs, Novikova,
"Her school work keeps her busy
from morning to night, She hard-
ly has time for herself -except
on Sundays." (Russian children
go to school six days a week.)
Furthermore, Mrs. Novikova says
much of the work is "perfectly
ridiculous," When a recent as-
signment called for three ex-
amples each of two kinds of pre-
fixes used in classical Russian
literature, the whole Novikova
family pitched in. "We sat up all
night at the dining -room table,
surraundcred by books -Tolstoi,
Pushkin, Turgenev - but we
couldn't find enough examples.
The next clay 1 went to the li-
brary, consulted one book -'The
Language of Pushkin' - and
found everything we needed,"
Galina's mother made the extra
research count: "I drew up a list
-not just for my daughter but
for her friends."
One American with a firsthand
knowledge of Russian schools is
William K. Medlin, associate -pro-
fessor of education at the Uni-
versity of Michigan and former-
East
ormerEast European specialist for the
U.S. Office of Education. Before
returning to the Soviet Union
last month For six weeks of
USOE-supported studies in Uzbe-
kistan, Medlin said: "Heavier
homework load has been cited as
one of the reasons why thc Rus-
sian students learn more in three
years than Americans do in
four." But, he added, "this home-
work is causing considerable
emotional problems among the
students, and Russia is now con-
sidering drooping or at least cur-
tailing homework."
In Moscow's mustard -colored
Experimental School 204, the
Russian Federation's Ministry of
Education is testing new curric-
ulums designed to cut the work-
load. One innovation: Study
rooms where students can do
their homework after school
hours, undistracted by the chat-
ter of entire families jammed
into one -room apartments. But
most students, apparently, would
rather be distracted, Of 760 en-
rolled at School 204, only 25 or
30 regularly use the study rooms.
And with the heavy require-
ments in scientific subjects (six
hours a week of mathematics,
four each of physics and chem-
istry, and one of astronomy),
tenth graders at School 204 say
they still need at least three hours
to finish their assignments. Many
of the students seem resigned to
the grind, Yelena Dozhdova, a
chubby 18 -year-old making top
marks In the tenth grade, says:
"Everything they give you is im-
portant. I don't know how the
program can be reduced."
Maybe Canada
Should Have One Too
Tho following article is from
the Star News of Pasadena, Cali-
fornia. We reprint it here be-
cause some of the sentiments ex-
pressed by the writer will create
an echo in many Canadian ears.
If even years of unusual bus-
iness prosperity are to be ac-
companied at best by tiny federal
budget surpluses, when if ever
will the nation get the needed
surpluses to offset the deficits
seen every time the economy
slumps?
At this juncture, it is hard to
see how the Kennedy forecasts
for economic activity in 1962 can
be called anything but superop-
timktic, , ,
A budget need not be balanced
every year. This has by now be-
come recognized by all but the
inost stalwart opponents of de-
ficit spending.
In years of recession, when the
economy has considerable excess
capacity and a large number of
unemployed, there is more justi-
fication for it than there is in
boom tinges,
For if the government spends
more than it collect's in taxes and
makes up the difference by bor-
rowing from the banks, the new
money that will' be created can
help the economy recover and no
inflationary effects. will acconh-

Were fis=cal policy to be a
minor matter in rcgnlalinw the
c,ur.lny, the v;iholc question of 0
growing r: tiiimil debt caused by
continual deficit financing, would
be rather unimportant, For de-
spite the growth of the national
debt, it must he remembered that
the economy is growing even
faster than the debt is,
But with domestic monetary
policy now limited in effective-
ness by the need to consider in-
ternational developments as well
as booms and recessions at home,
the government has to rely more
on fiscal policy' as a method of
maintaining economic stability
and conditions conducive to sus-
tainable economic growth.
This is what makes a budget-
ary' surplus in boons years so
important. - Pasadena (Calif,)
