Condi- tion: Excellent, well-fed, vigor- ous, • Cause of death: Unknown, found dead in crib." These stark words, neatly pen- ned on a death report on Dr. Renate Dische's desk at New York's Medical Examiner's build- ing recently, reiterated a ques- tion that has disturbed pediatri- cians for decades: Why should a child, put to bed in good health in the evening, be found lying (1e d the Melt morning? eS To Dr. Discilt3, the deaths are more than simply puzzling. Since some 25,000 of them occur annually in the U.S., they now pose a threat as serious as polio once did. "While the mortality from recognized diseases in in- fants has declined markedly," the New York University -Belle- vue 1ledical Center pathologist points out, "crib deaths have re- mained at a high level." Despite the size of the prob- lem, little research has been done in the field, and all theories to explain sudden deaths in in- fancy have, up to now, been dis- proved. During the 1920s and 1930s, for example, the deaths were widely blamed on sudden enlargement of a small gland in the neck — the thymus — which squeezed the baby's windpipe and led to asphyxiation. After this idea was laid to rest, doctors attributed crib deaths largely to smothering; today most pediatri- cians believe the normal healthy baby, small as he is, can strug- gle out of a tangle of bedclothes, Recently, prompted by the thali- domide tragedy, a Philadelphia gynecologist suggested t ha t drugs taken during pregnancy might be a cause of sudden in- fant deaths. The trouble with most of the theories, explains Dr. , Dische (who dismisses as "extremely re- mote" the idea that prenatal use of drugs causes crib deaths), is that they were based on the us- ually cursory investigations con- ducted by medical examiners, But now, with financial support from New York's Health Re- search Council and co-operation from the city's chief medical ex- aminer. Dr. Milton Helpern, Dr, Dische is beginning the most ex- haustive study ever into the causes of sudden crib deaths, From now on, each of the 200 an- nual crib deaths in Manhattan will be closely studied by Dr, Dische and Dr. Weiner Leblanc, a Bellevue pediatrician. Dr. Dische will perform the medical examiner's function of "certifying" the death at the scene, then — as in all deaths of unknown cause — take the infant's body to Bellevue for a thorough postmortem, Mean- while, Dr. Leblanc will ques- tion the parents extensively about the health of the baby and, How Well Do You Know SOUTHEAST ASIA? ANI perhaps more important,,- of every other family member. They will make laboratory stud- ies of blood and urine specimens and throat cultures from every- one in the household. "Ninety per cent of our information will probably come from sources other than the autopsy," said Dr. Hel- pern. One reason for the intense in- terest in the family's health: The possible role infection may play in crib deaths. A recent study by pediatricians at Cleveland's Western Reserve University Medical School disclosed the pre- sence of respiratory viruses in tissues from twelve of 48 sudden - death victims. Some investiga- tors believe an ordinarily mild virus may flare up in a child, cause death, and subside without producing enough tissue damage to be detected at autopsy. One aspect of Dr. Dische's study will be to determine what makes an infant unusually vulnerable to viruses or germs. Significantly, most crib deaths occur at 3 or 4 months, when most of the child's inherited antibodies have disappeared, and his own anti- body -producing tissues are not yet functioning fully. But Drs. Dische and Helpern are keeping their eyes open to other possible causes. Yet to be investigated is a new theory sug- gesting that a baby allergic to cow's milk may, during sleep, regurgitate some milk into his breathing passages, producing a shock reaction in the delicate respiratory tissues. "We have no preconceived no- tions," said Dr. Helpern recently, "In any successful investigation, you must proceed with the idea that you don't already know the answer." From NEEWSWEEK. Jackie Gleason Throws A Party! John C, Gleason served as the gracious host recently at a charming party on board a seven -car private train which was taking Mr. Gleason and 40 guests by easy stages from Los Angeles to New York. Mr. Glea- son was also the guest of honor at the party, which celebrated his forthcoming CBS series, "Jackie Gleason's American Scene Magazine." "Nobody's going to catch us!" Mr, Gleason announced to his guests. "We'll go until the food and water run out. When this train gets through the Mojave Desert, it'll never be dry again." The train, which cost $90,000, was tastefully decorated with multicolored balloons, and the guests wore demure badges of yellow bunting reading "The Great Gleason." Mr. Gleason wore a gray suit, red vest, red hankerchief, and red carnation, Also present were Miss Sue Ann Langdon, Mr. Gleason's leading lady: Miss June Taylor, choreo- grapher, and five Gleason Girls; a number of friends and writers; and Mr. Max Kaminsky and his six -piece orchestra. The affair got under way with a cocktail party in the Los Ange- les railroad station at 3 p.m When the train departed, it was discovered that Mr. George Mar. shall, a movie director, who had planned to stay behind in Los Angeles, had been locked in a bedroom by the guest of honor. Mr. Marshall summoned a con- ductor, and was let off. One of the guests was heard to remark later: "By the time we left, some of the passengers were as oiled as the engine." En route, Mr, Gleason, ming- ling with the guests, danced the twist. "Whatever it is," he re- marked, admiring his partner's ability, "I hope it keeps moving," This is Mr. Gleason's first such trip. No one else ever did it ex- actly this way, either, CLOSE CALL — This car crashed through a guard rail of a Baltimore, Md., bridge. It climbed the raised bridge for 12 feet, then slid back to this precarious position 30 feet above the water. The two male occupants got out safely. .4 TABLLeT'A1,�4S Jam There seems to be a question in many households about the desirability of freezing sand- wiches, and here is an answer from no less an authority than the American Institute of Baking. In answer to the question, "Can 1 freeze sandwiches and sand- wich loaves?" the institute says: "Yes, but at a sacrifice to pala- tability. Even after three days of freezing storage, frozen sand- wiches cannot compare with freshly made ones. Although all breads freeze satisfactorily, few fillings recover favorably from the frozen state, Some ingred- ients, used alone can be recom- mended — cooked meat, peanut butter, and bleu cheese. How- ever, when mayonnaise or salad dressing is used, freezing is fatal to these fillings. Chopped, sliced or grated fresh vegetables do not freeze satisfactorily. Sandwiches for freezing should be wrapped singly, in moisture -proof vapor - proof paper, tightly sealed, and labeled as to variety. Here is a sandwich filling sug- gested by the institute that does freeze satisfactorily. For filling 12 sandwiches, combine 11/2 cups (or 1 12 -ounce c an) chopped ham, ground; ?-a cup (or 1 9 - ounce can) drained crushed pine- apple, 1`4 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons prepared horse- radish. Spread between slices of buttered bread of any variety (a protective coating of butter pre- vents filling from soaking into bread). This is a question -answering day, so here is another: "Can bread be stored in the refrig- erator?" "Yes, but it is well to be aware of both advantages and disad- vantages. Refrigerating bread re- tards mold growth, especially in hot weather. But the longer the refrigeration period, the firmer the bread becomes. Refrigeration temperatures also step up stal- ing." Whether you store ;your bread in a bread box, in the refrigera- ped bread or packaged rolls in tor, or in the freezer, keep wrap - original wrappers. Bread bought unwrapped should be wrapped in a moisture -resistant bag be- fore storing, with the exception of hard or crisp crusted breads. These are best when eaten fresh, writes Eleanor Richey Johnston HALL OF ARMS — Armor room of Culzeon Castle near Ayr, Scotland, features impres- sive display of arms and other military paraphernalia, most of it from the Napoleonic ere. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower holds life tenancy in building's top flocs. Since we are being practical in the Christian Science Monitor. today, let's take up a practical question, "What is the best way to keep a bread box clean?" Ans- wer: It should be thoroughly washed weekly. Baking soda dis- solved in warm water is best for such odorless cleaning. Dry well, even all joinings, before putting bread into it. { • Here are a few more sand- wich fillings that are well suited to freezing: Crean Cheese Olive Nut — Cornbine 2 3 -oz. packages cream cheese, 3 tablespoons sliced stuf- fed olives, 3 tablespoons chopped nuts, N teaspoon salt, and ?a cup cream, Peanut Butter Marmalade Filling: Combine I cup peanut butter, / cup grated sharp cheese, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1 table- spoon hot water.

Goldenrod in untilled spots, the zinnias and marigolds in the garden, and even the garish salvia In so many flower beds on front lawns blend with the recl, orange and crimson of blackberry vines, surnae ,and Virginia creeper. The pears are ripe, as hundreds of greedy yellowjackets attest, ap- ples are turning red on the trees, and in the lanes the fox grape vines are laden with deep -mar- oon, musky fruit, By the end of the month the big copper kettle will be brought forth and the autumn air will be filled with the spicy aroma or apple -butter making. As far back as memory goes, Amish house- wives have turned out gallons or apple -butter made with sweet cider in season. But today's homemakers are not content to stop there. Their cellar shelves are laden with peach pickles, crabapple pickles, pumpkin butter, ginger pears, strawberry jam, quince honey, elderberry butter, grape butter, damson butter, and jellies of all hues and flavors in addition to the crocks of sauerkraut and hogsheads of cucumber pickles which their ancestors put up each fall, And just recently Trina and Anna added to their shelves of dainties green -tomato mincemeat and a gourmet chutney which calls for green tomatoes, apples, nuts and raisins. And best of all, to our way of thinking, the rosy - purple Indian peaches are ready now to be pickled in heavy, spic- ed syrup.

There is aboundant evidence that the massive use of poisonous chemi- cals has serious drawbacks, Its side effects, in many cases, have been disastrous to wildlife, Often, it has backfired, evok- ing a tougher more poison -resis- tant form of a pest than was'pre- sent to begin with. It also may hold danger for men, Many of the chemicals are as poisonous to humans as to plants and insects. Their widespread use and their accumulation in our environment is a growing and as yet poorly understood hazard, Few would deny a vote of thanks to the chemists, entomol- ogists, and herbologists who have made the chemical control techniques practical. Especially since World War II, these tech- niques have yielded great bene- fits to mankind, They have helped create the fabled abundance of modern ag- riculture. They are credited with relieving much human suffering through control of disease -bear- ing insects. They are a boon to suburban gardeners, But while the chemicals are a potent tool for pest control, their value, as with any tool, lies in the wisdom with which they are used. * * Modern science and technol- ogy enables men to make sweep- ing changes in their environ- ment, with widspread conse- quences for the commurtity of living things of which mankind is part, Unless the use of this new power is based on know- ledge of what these consequenc- es may be, great damage could be wreaked within that com- munity almost before men were aware of it. This self-evident rule of wis- dom is virtually ignored in the fast-growing use of pesticides, Out of enthusiasm for the bene- fits they have brought, men often are using the new chemi- cals indiscriminately in ways that government and industry testing programs do not take into account, They are causing what the well-known wildlife biologist, Dr. John L, George of the Pat- uxent, Md., Wildlife Research Center calls "a new type of chemical pollution , , , (in which) the trend is toward more highly toxic materials and heav- ier dosage rates." A public awakening to the danger this implies may be in the making in the U3►.ited States, If it comes, we will have Rachel Carson, famed author of "The Sea Around Us," to thank for bringing the growing issue to a head, * * * She has sent forth a clarion call in a series of hard-hitting articles published in June by the New Yorker magazine and drawn from her forthcoming book, "The Silent Spring," to be published by Houghton Miffin Company, She explains in de- tail the poisonous properties of insecticides and herbicides, and vividly documents the danger's of their misuse. The following few examples illustrate the damaging side ef- fects the new chemicals can have. These typify the cases re- ported by Miss Carson although they have been gathered from independent sources, The following case was re- ported last June by two zoolo- gists at the 13th International Ornithological Congress, They are Prof, George J. Wallace and Dr, Richard F. Bernard from the University of Michigan, Elm trees on the university's 110 -acre campus had been at- tacked by Dutch elm disease, a fungus malady spread by bark beetles. As is done in many other places, tree surgeons tried to control the fungus by controlling the beetles. Both bark and leaves of the trees were heavily spray- ed. The zoologists reported that, ova several seasons, the bird population was virtually des- troyed, Birds that picked bugs off the trees were poisoned directly, Ground feeders, especially 9b - ins, were poisoned by an indi- rect route, ' The spray (DDT dissolved in oil or kerosene) is very hard to wash off with water, It remain- ed on the leaves, These eventu- ally fell to the ground to be eaten by worms, which concen- tilted the poison in their bod- ies. Robins that ate the worms were poisoned in turn. The Wallace -Bernard findings parallel those of ornithologists of the University of Wisconsin. They studied bird populations in three treated and three com- parable untreated communities during Dutch elm disease con- trol programs 'In 1959, Songbirds averaged 410 pairs per 100 acres in unsprayed com- munities, while in treated areas their populations ranged from 37 to 90 per cent lower. In par- ticular, there were 50 tinges as many robins in the unsprayed as in the sprayed regions, House sparrows, on the other hand, seemed to be little affected, * * * Here is another illustration, this time from New Brunswick, Canada, A program to control spruce budworm by spreading half a pound of DDT per acre caused the loss of up to 9 per cent of young salmor in the Mir- amichi River In 1954, Fish and other aquatic ani- mals are especially sensitive to DDT, The Miramichi case is of- ten cited as typical of what may happen when insecticide gets in- to rivers and ponds either direct- ly through runoff or through fallout ci dead insects and veg- etation. A third example can be drawn from experience in England, Seeds and young plants of cer- eal crops can be protected from insect attack by treating seeds with insecticide before planting. This has become a very wide- spread practice in England, writes Robert C. Cowen in the Christian Science Monitor. It has greatly increased crop yields, But large numbers of birds, digging up some of the planted seeds as they do, have been poisoned, Foxes and other animals that eat the stricken birds are said also to have suc- cumbed. Such harmful side effects have been found both for insecticides and for the weed -killing chemi- cals popularly and erroneously thought to be harmful only to plants, Even when immediate ef- fects on wildlife have been mild, the long term reproductive abil- ity of birds and animals often has been impaired, Furthermore, at least one of the chemicals, DDT, seems to be spreading widely throughout the environment in low concentra- tions, In the- United States, DDT has been found in rivers far remov- ed from any spraying area, It is coming through on food both to humans and to domestic ani- mals, What is more, only a fraction of the food supplies can be checked by government inspec- tors to ensure that official lev- els of tolerance are not exceed- ed. To this one might add that chemical control techniques have, at times, been self-defeat- ing, The malaria mosquito was no sooner thought to be wiped out 4n some areas of the world, than it began to stage a come- back in a DDT -resistant form. Agricultural pests, house flies, even body lice have similarly used the processes of evolution- ary change to produce varieties that resist the poisons meant to exterminate them. One could go on and on in this vein to build a black, and very unfair, case for never using an insecticide or weed killer, again. That would be as shortsighted as an unthinking dependence on these chemicals now is proving to be, It is the misuse of chemi- cal control through human ig- norance or willfulness that is the danger. In the battle for insect control, men need every weapon they can find in their arsenal. Chemi- cals properly used are one such weapon, But biological methods, including the use of natural ene- mies of pests, are also powerful aids, (To be continued in our next issue.)

Barclay 11'arren, ILD, Faith to Rebuild Haggai 1:1-6; Zechariah 4:6-10 Memory Scripture: Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 8:21. In last week's lesson we noted the rebuilding of the altar. The people rejoiced, Some wept as they thought of the glories of the temple before, Fifteen years were to pass before any addi- tional work would be carried out on the temple. The altar remained during this time in the open, without a building to cover it, The problems were not materials, but morale. Haggai began to prophesy. The people were obviously pleading their poverty as an ex- cuse for not rebuilding the house of God, They agreed that it should be rebuilt but were not willing to make the sacrifice to secure its completion. Haggai pointed out the inconsistency of this position. They had ade- quate money to spend on them- selves, but little to dedicate to God. Today we spend far more on chewing gum than we do on missions, Haggai said, "Consid- er your ways," When people fail to be good stewards of what God gives them, they are never satisfied, no matter how much they have. Haggai's statement has a wide application: "He that earneth wages earneth wages to put into a bag with holes." God also caused the heaven to withhold its dew and the earth its fruitful- ness. In the second chapter we see that some of the people were stil feeling badly that this build- ing was inferior to Solomon's temple. Haggai brings the mes- sage of the Lord, "I will fill this house with glory." This 11 the most important thing about God's house. Zechariah began to prophesy a little more than a year after Haggai, He joined with Haggai in encouraging the people t� complete the work, He pro- claimed the word of the Lord to Zerrubabel, "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit." The temple was finished in 41/4 years after Haggai had stirred the people to action. Days of fasting became days of rejoicing. Thus two prophets helped to quicken the people in their spiritual life, so that the tempi* was finished.

JA 443521 or 7281 GODERICII, ONTARIO Tomboy Princess Wilt's Hearts Prince„ Anne, Queen Eliza- beth's daughter, celebrated her twelfth anniversary, Aug. 15, at Balmoral, the Scottish country home of the royal family on Dee - side, August is the month when by tradition since Queen Victoria's time, the royal fancily escapes to the freedom of a highland holi- day, Prince Charles is home from Gordonstoun School where for a term now he has been a boarder, the first British heir to the throne to be educated at a public school, Princess Anne still has lessons in the schoolroom of Buckingham Palace with two friends but there is much speculation about her future education,` At Bahnoial. the restrictions which necessarily hedge in mem- bers of the royal family at Lon- don and Windsor are lifted. The people in the small village and in nearby laallater pride them- selves on not "making a fuss" about the royal family, As one of the tradesmen told me:' "We just regard them as residents around here." This means that the royal children can go shopping in the village like other children. Since she was quite small, Princess Anne has accompanied her broth- er to buy "sweets" in the village shop each summer and to talk to the villagers, making new friends and renewing acquaintance with old ones. Restrictions imposed in London are relaxed, and Prin- cess Anne revels in the freedom of doing things which any small girl would take for granted. In the Highlands, Princess Anne follows the strenuous, open air pursuits which come natural- ly to this boisterous tomboy of the royal family. By contrast with his mercurial sister, Prince Charles as heir to the throne is a serious, thought- ful boy, with a sense of humor but always conscious that he must do the right thing. Prin- cess Anne, sturdily built and flaxen -haired, is most often pic- tured in jodhpurs with corgi dogs chasing at her heels, groom- ing her pony, watching horse trials or tennis championships, even pushing her brother in a wheelbarrow. Encouraged by her mother, an excellent rider. Princess Anne is now a fearless and accomplished horsewoman, She loves practical jokes — often carried out at the expense of the royal grooms — and like her aunt, Princess Margaret, has a great facility for mimicry, She is a keen Girl Guide, and at Whitsun this year spent her first weekend under canvas where she shared the chores of cooking and washing dishes with other girls of her own age, "It was an ordinary guide camp though in private grounds, and they had to cope with some rain, though not too much," a spokes- man of the Girl Guide Associa- tion said. The Buckingham Pal- ace Girl Guide company includes daughters of taxi drivers, police- men, and others living in or near the palace. Princess Anne has made her mark as a "hall boy" on the polo field near Windsor where her father, Prince Philip, plays on weekends, The Prince recent- ly rode over between chukkers to watch as the young Princess took to the saddle to practice rudimentary strokes of the game under the eye of an official of the Polo Club, Polo is a hard and possibly dangerous game and not many women play. It is felt Princess Anne might en- courage other women if she made an impact on this stren- uous male preserve. (The Princess is the first mem- ber of the royal family to com- pete in public sports since the Duke of Windsor's point-to- point days.) "GIGGLES RELAX"—Sophia Loren considers giggling to be reloxing. She's shown in a star performance of the giggle, on location in Paris for her new picture, titled "Five Miles to Midnight." Riding her pony this year she was awarded a rosette at the Garth Pony Club's hunter trials, winning a second in the jumping event over a cross-country course More often, however, she pre- sents the rosettes to successful competitors in the Royal Wind- sor Horse Show in Home Park, near the castle where the fancily spends weekends. The Princess is said to be u keen tennis player and in re- cent years has sat in the royal box at Wimbledon to watch the international championships, writes Melita Knowles in the Christian Science Monitor. Although her training is to fit her to carry out duties in the royal calendar, as third in line of succession to the throne, she will have freedoms which will not be accorded to her two brothers. She will be free to marry the man of her choice and to make friends with people she chooses, On the other hand, she will have no income of her own until she marries or attains the age of 21. So far, there are few signs that Queen Elizabeth has encour- aged her to be fashion -conscious. When "dressed -up," Anne wears a simple redingote coat, low- heeled, strap shoes such as her mother might have worn at her age, Even when she paid a visit to France recently, the Prin- cess wore a simple cotton dress, short white socks and sandals, The visit was an "educational" one. Mlle Suzanne Josseron, who gives her French lessons, went with her. The members of the household with whom she stayed were instructed to speak no Eng- lish during her visit. This visit has roused specula- tion here as to whether Queen Elizabeth II will send her daugh- ter to a finishing school in France. The results of French "grooming" are apparent in the successful entry of Princess Alexandra into public life. She was three or four years older than Princess Anne is now when she went to Paris. It may be, on the other hand that Princess Anne will spend two or three years at one of the famous Eng- lish public schools for girls. And there again Queen Elizabeth II may decide that her own form of education — by a governess and later a tutor in the school- room of Buckingham Palace — is the one best suited to her daughter. Indian Squaws Pay A Formal Cali Upon'answering a knock at the door one bright spring morning I was accosted by Mrs, Iron Bull, wife of a Crow chief, who was in her best attire, a buckskin dress hanging from the should- ers and elaborately adorned with elk teeth and embroidery of porcupine quills. Buckskin fringe finished the bottom, A black leather belt on which the black- smith had embedded brass head- ed tacks spelling the name "Iron Bull" encircled her expansive waist and was fastened with an army buckle ... Round her neck were strung rows of bright heads, that were to her also a great delight. Her glossy black hair always hung down her back. Little Pinahawney, who was her monther's constant companion, wore a similar dress without the belt, The cause of this festal costuming was to be explained by an interpreter who accom- panied them, so I asked them into our living room. It seemed there were several squaws outside who wished to see the Big White Chief's squaw and the Pale Squaw, as my sister was called, being a blonde while my hair was dark. Above all, I soon found, they were most an- xious to see the baby (Edith Burt) who was the first and only white baby ever at Fort C. F. Smith. I was reluctant to let them all come in the house, so carried the little dear one out of doors and showed her carefully to each squaw in turn. The in- terpreter told me, however, that they were very anxious to hold her in their arms , , , I concluded to grant their wish and told the interpreter to have them sit on the ground in a row in front of our quarters. Mrs. Iron Bull held the little one first and with an admiring smile and comments passed her to the next squaw. What these whisperings to each other meant we could not tell, but judging from the eagerness to hold the baby and smiling conversation, their admiration appeared un- bounded. The beautiful golden hair; fair skin and hazel eyes appealed as so very different from the invariable straight black hair and dark eyes of all their papooses. Kisses were of course forbidden; however, no attempt was made in that respect — indeed, I cannot. say that In- dians ever indulge in caresses. I never saw a mother kiss her child, Neither have I ever seen one punished — Froin "Indians, Infants and Infantry: Andrew and Elizabeth Burt on the Fron- tier," by Merrill J.

HRONICLES "i1NGERPARM� Aecordin:L, to an early -morn- ing broadcaster the news these days is "all up in the air" — with two Rusian spacemen in orbit. Of course it is amazing news but somehow or other it leaves me cold, possibly because It is beyond my comprehension. Also because no matter how many space -ships are in orbit our own little everyday affairs still go on with problems to deal with that are much closer to home — how to combat the high cost of living; starting children to school for the first tine; de- ciding on the best type of living — town, country or suburban; how to protect children in these days of fast moving traffic — shall we keep the little ones off the road entirely or shall we let them run in the hope of making them more traffic conscious? And in regard to older folk — is it fair to let Granpa or Aunt Mabel live in one room alone? On the other hand is it fair to our family to have Granpa or Aunt Mabel living with us knowing either may become a constant charge and possibly an irritation to some members of the family? These and similar problems concern the average person far more than spacemen in orbit. Other family affairs of a more cheering nature also seem of greater importance. For instance last week we were delighted when our nine-year-old grand- son, David, carne second in a swimming race in the Peterbor- ough area for boys nine and under. He was given a bronze trophy symbolizing a boy diving into the water. In another week or two we shall have other in- terests. Ross and Jerry will both be starting school — but in different schools, How they will react is a matter for conjecture but the result will naturally be of great importance to their par- ents — and grandparents. The sane applies to hundreds of par- ents for miles around who may — or may not — be readers of this column. Which brings up another point in a week or two there won't be any readers of this column. Why? For the simple reason there won't be any column. Much as I hate to do it I have decided to stop my regular weekly writing — but that doesn't mean I shall stop writing entirely. I might even do more. As regards this column I have been at it continuously for thirty-three years and in that time I haven't missed a single week. So there must be readers who are tired of me by now and may welcome a change of material in the space that is us2 ually alloted to Ginger Farm. However, I hope to stay with you until the end of the month and then it will be "goodbye". "Goodbye" . . . just a short word but invariably it carries e lot of significance. That is why I don't want to leave my fare- well until the last cclumn. For one thing before saying good- bye 1 want to tell you how much I have enjoyed our weekly get- together. And so many of you have been kind enough to write to me — some because they felt they were in touch with a kind- red spirit — one who under- stands and sympathizes with many of their prohlems, And that, 1 can assure you, is per- fectly true. Those of us who carne through the depression are quite familiar with moFt of the problems the average family is called upon to face. Some of my letter -friends have written for advice. Most of the letter's l have answered to the best of my ability — although lately I have found my time and energy have been somewhat lacking, and so some letters still remain un- answered, Which doesn't mean they were not appreciated. I have welcomed every letter that has come my way. haven though the contents were sometimes heart -breaking. At such tines I know it released an almost unbearable tension for the writ- er to tell someone his or her troubles, I might add their con- fidence was always respected. Sometimes it is easier to write or talk to a stranger than to a member of one's own family. "A Stranger" did I say? At least I hope I am not that — not after all these years. One thing lately has rather disturbed me — almost every- one to whom I have announced my intention of dropping this column thinks I am making a mistake. There is one man however who agrees with me — and he is a writer himself. He knows what it means to have to meet a deadline. Not many people understand. For instance sometimes when we have an ex- tra run of visitors over the week -end by Sunday night I'm in a panic because I haven't had a chance to even start this col- umn. Sometimes I wake up and write a page or two in rough In the middle of the night, then I feel easier. Writing ahead of time doesn't seem to work. I generally finish up by tearing up what I have written and start all over again, Oh well, enough of my wor- ries for now, I'll see you again next week anyway. Until then it's just "au revoir".

ISSUE 35 — 1902 Too Little Respect For Authority Something that Is always high- ly amusing is to note how big- time racketeers, little racketeers and others who flout the law howl about their legal rights on the slighest provocation. They have no respect for authority or the law except as it fits their purpose. We note in the news two ex- amples of disrespect for law and authority which received sur- prisingly opposite treatment. In Providence, R.I. a judge freed a traffic offender who called the police officer a very uncompli- mentary name. The judge com- mented in extenuation that the term has become "somewhat of a professional expression." The fact that Harry Truman used it, and possibly other presidents. does not in our opinion give it blessing such as to take the dis- respect out of it when the auth- ority of a police officer is slues. tioned. And we can but wonder what the attitude of that judge would have been had the often der called him that name. It is more pleasurable to note that in Richmond this month Municipal Judge John Pierce took an entirely different view of the situation. In his court the offense of giving a policeman "a bad time by words" costs $250 or 50 days. For hitting an officer it costs $500 or 100 days. His belief is that one who doesn't respect the authority may re- spect the penalty. We would ex- pect that in Richmond hence- forth officers of the law, and the law, will receive a great deal more respect for their authority than do policemen in Providence. Why is this important? Re- spect for the law 'and authority, not fear of it, is the proper at- titude, and when respect disap- pears so does public safety and organized society, Law enforce- ment agencies must have the support of the community. Outstanding exceptions to this are not remote nor infrequent. Too often bystanders have hin- dered, rather than helped, an of- ficer attempting to take someone into custody. If that attitude grows, no one can expect to be safe. Judges taking the position of Judge Pierce should have public support and make certain that respect for authority of the law, regardless of one's opinion of the individual officer, is up- held, A community so united need have little fear of those who flout the law.—Contra Costa Gazette (Martinez, Calif.) 4 First Pictures of New Paris Fashions by GAILE DUGAS The first pictures from Paris show that fashion continues to evolve. There is no revolution. This Is the way fashion should develop, season by season. Newest fashions from the French collections include the long jacket suit, the wrap- ped or cope look, the modest evening gown, the tunic look, the peplum and above all, the return to a rounded, feminine, curvy figure. Despite hemline discussions; hemlines remain short, just covering the knee in most of the major collec- tins. The new long Jacket suit from Paris is done by Madame Gres in a cocktail costume of navy orlon and silk, Fabric lends a rounded look to the season's new rounded, feminine look. Here is the wrapped look from Paris in a barrel cape by Jules Crahay of Nina Ricci, Cape is lined with black mink and worn over matching suit. Fabric for both cape and suit is a mixture of orlon, silk and mo- hair dons in a tweedy, nubby fabric. The short evening gown is done for fall and winter by Philippe Venet in white orlon and silk. Overblouse Is beaded in shades of lilac. Paris trend in evening gowns is away from fire ornate. Ho Makes History Come To Life Alan Moorehead, the Austral- ian -born journalist and war cor- respondent of The London Daily Express, is just about unbeatable in the field of adventurous his- tory, Itis "The White Nile" (1961) was a dazzling book, and "The Blue Nile" is its hypnotic sequel. The two chief sources of the Nile are the White Nile, pouring from Lake Victoria in Uganda, and the Blue Nile from Lake Tana in Ethiopia, They join at Khartoum in the Suclan, where the I3Iue Nile continues its total flow of 2,750 miles to the Mediterranean, The emer- gence of these regions into mod- ern history is a wild, cruel, and Immensely ornate dranlu, and in Moorehead it finds its proper scribe, Although the human figures involved often seem as improb- able as a caliph's nightmare, the course of events is clear enough. Moorehead write; "'Three abor- tive cavalry charges against mod- ern firearms , destroyed the isolation of the Nile valley from Lake Tana to the sea," There was the charge of the Egyptian Mamelukes against the invading Napoleon Bonaparte (1798), of the Sudanese tribesmen against the invading Turk, Muhammed Ali (1820), and of the Emperor Theodore of Ethiopia against the invading British (1868). Napol- eon soon left Egypt to attend to his European worries and be- come the Emperor of France; the Turks remained embattled on the Nile for years: the English withdrew from Ethiopia once they had defeated Theodore. In any case, the Nile valley had been shaken out of the Middle Ages. The book is such a resplendent tapestry of clime and character, virtue and vice, curiosa and esotercia, that only specific de- tails can suggest its irresistible texture. Thus, the 28 -year-old Napoleon found in Egypt a land which fascinated him because here, as he noted, the seven deadly sins were held to be "dis- obedience to parents, murder, desertion during an expedition against infidels, usury, falsely accusing a woman of adultery, idolatry, and the wasting of the property of orphans." Entourage: Napoleon took with him a company of scholars, the Institut d'Egypte, who followed his army, studying and drawing the scene and artifacts around them, producing a 24 -volume picture of the country in which "the very vultures have every feather in place," Moorehead magnificently depicts screaming battles and burning desert cam- paigns, and he notes that Bona- parte grandly ordered from France "a company of comed- ians, a troupe of ballet dancers, a marionette show, a hundred prostitutes, 200,000 pints of brandy and a million of wine," The Nile story abounds in hor- ror. In one fairly typical Turkish action against the Sudanese "all male prisoners , , were emas- culated and the breasts of their women were cut off, the wounds being filled with boiling pitch to prevent the victims dying at once." But the Turks were per- haps more predictably inhuman than Theodore of Ethiopia, who was not only a torturer but flam- boyantly insane, Like his coun- trymen, he called himself a Cop- tic Christian, but he could turn in a trice from geniality to mass murder. After he had toyed for years with captive British emis- saries, the British organized a vastly complicated campaign against hint under Field -Marshal Lord Napier, Moorehead's des- cription of this crusade of retri- bution is a masterpiece of bizarre battle history, r t ISSUE 35 — 1962 PRINCE BAILS — Prince Phillip, right, and yatching mag- nate Uffo Fox work hard bailing out their sailboat, "Cowe- slip," after croft twice collided with another sailboat in race at Cowes, Isle of Wight.

Gibraltar Apes Get A Salary Now that Gibraltar has be- come popular as a holiday resort many people will have seen for themselves the famous apes which inhabit "The Rock." Keeping the apes fit is an Army responsibility, Those that fall sick or are injured get free treatment at the British mili- tary hospital. And every ape list- ed on the Army's strength gets Government pay at the rate of 6d. a day. This provides fruit, vegetables and peanuts. To Lance - Corporal Alfred Holmes of the Gibraltar garrison falls the duty of caring for the apes. Births and deaths, but not their marriages, are reported in Fortress Orders. At present, Gib's apes muster Fix males and twenty-two fe- males, all in first-class condi- tion. '?'here is a legend that if the apes disappear British influence will vanish from the Rock, During the last war, when Sir Winston Churchill heard that the apes were dwindling in numbers, he issued immediate orders for reinforcements. These were promptly sent from North Africa, Their arrival at once restored the confidence of all defending this vital bastion,�'� "Lazy Bien often stay filter , than active `Bien," says a doctor. )Fewer moving parts to wear out, I suppose. DOWN TO EARTH — As an American officer, Charlton Heston hits the dirt as he prepares to resist an attack on the compound's arsenal in Spain -filmed "55 Days at Peking." It's the story of the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900, star- ring Heston, Ava Girdner and David Niven, Memories Of Boxing's "Cinderella Man" That the harsh and blood - smeared world of professional boxing is capable of such feel- ings as sentimentality would seem to be a pretty unlikely concept. Yet back in the 1930's, a wave of sentiment surround- ed one of Fistiana's gamest and most battle -scared veterans. He was James J. Braddock, the hard -striving heavyweight who gained the undisputed title of "The Cinderella Man of Box- ing." The saga of Braddock's rise from the relief rolls to unex- pected fame and fortune in the ring appeared to tug at the very heartstrings of the fight world and earned hint a place in ring history beyond that which he may have obtained on basis ability. I n d e e d, it was Brad - dock's courage a n d persever- ance in overcoming his limita- tions which endeared him most to fight followers. In a career that stretched over a dozen years, lion-hearted Jim is perhaps best remembered for the grit of his efforts against three major opponents — Max Baer, Joe L o u is a n d Tommy Farr. In none ;of these bouts was Braddock accorded a serious chance of winning. But by sheer persistency; he beat Baer, floor- ed Louis before;he was kayoed, and fought the, greatest battle of his gallant career against the rugged Farr. Going into the fight with Tommy, the aging Braddock found himself the customary sentimental favourite and the betting short -ender, At 32, and by then an ex -champion, Jim appeared to have little chance 'against the tougher -than -nails Welshman, Farr had spent years working in Welsh coal mines and con- sidered prize -fighting a joke by comparison. He once summed up his opinion of boxing in typic- ally terse fashion, Said Farr: "After the alines, what is fight- ing? It's play!" Such was Farr's attitude when Braddock faced him in Madison Square Garden on Jan, 21, 1938, before 17,369 fans, Though it was largely a pro -Braddock crowd, the oddsmakers had in- stalled Farr as a firm 3-1 fa- vourite. The Welshman had the edge in youth, strength, weight and speed, From the outset, Jim fought with typical gameness, In the first two rounds, he stepped in- to Tommy with a good left jab and long, slinging rights. But the Welshman, grimly contemp- tuous of Jim's efforts, counter - punched with jolting hooks to the body, and it was Farr who scored hardest and most fre- quently in both rounds, In the 3rd, both opened up barrages that brought the crowd surging to its feet. But again, Farr was outpunching Jimmy. It would have been the Welsh- man's round if one of his hooks hadn't dropped below the belt 'line ,and caused hint to lose the frame on a foul, In the 4th, Braddock carried the edge with sweeping left - right combinations, but Farr was back in the 5th with wither- ing body barrages that had Jim on the ropes. Sensing danger, Braddock ral- lied furiously in the 6th, and he outscored Tommy. I-iowever, in a grim 711 and 8th, Brad- dock looked as if he were con- ing apart. Farr got to him with thudding body shots. The wal- lops — especially Farr's right- handers — turned Jim's side to A dull and .angry -looking red. What was worse, they brought him down off his toes and forced hint to shuffle flat-footed around the canvas. He was slowing per- ceptibly, and his 32 -year-old legs looked shaky, writes Gil Smith in "The Police Gazette," With two rounds to go, it looked like a grin finish for Jim. But the amazing spirit that h;atl carried him from the relief rolls of North Bergen, N,J., to the world's heavyweight cham- pionship, now came to his aid again. Ile met the onrushing Farr in the 9th with slicing right upper- cuts and a string of explosive left hooks. Back up on his toes, and fighting his heart out, Brad- dock repeatedly drove his foe to the ropes, He out -whacked the Welsh- man in shoulder -to -shoulder ex- changes on the inside, And when the clanging gong intrud- ed on the thunder of the crowd, Jim hacl co►npleted his greatest round. The question now was, did he have anything left for the 10th? Despite his hair-raising effort, the count on most of the ring- side scorecards appeared to be 6-4 for Farr. What's more, Tom- my's contemptuous overconfi- dence had now been replaced by a sharp alertness. Ife knew Braddock could be dangerous. And if Jim tried for an all-out finish, it was certain that Farr would try, too, At the bell, they went after each other like life-long ene- mies, bombing away, through three minutes of the most sen- sational fighting the Garden had ever seen. Time and again, the 207 -Ib. Farr tried to sustain a body barrage, only to have his attack broken up by slashing one-two combinations. As they passed the half -way mark, Farr was swinging at both body and head, and Braddock had stepped up his own delivery to include double sets of one -twos, With a minute to go, it looked as if the pace would have to slacken. But the brawling con- tinued unabated down to the final gong. When, at last, they were dragged apart, it appeared Jim had actually gained an edge in the last-minute trading, The decision was split, and harrowingly close. One judge voted for Braddock, the other for Farr. The referee's card in- dicated four rounds apiece and two e v e n. But, exercising his discretion, the arbiter awarded the bout to Braddock on the strength of his tremendous fin- ish, As Jim left the ring, the crowd gave hint an ovation that almost brought down the Gar- den. It was the moment of glory dor the popular Braddock — known as "Jersey Jim" for his long residence in New Jersey, but actually born in a New York tenement just two blocks from the Garden. Much of the sentimental ac- claim for Jim that night lay in the fact that his amazing cour- age, persistency and unquench- able spirit had paid off unex- pectedly, over the formidable Farr . . , just as they had paid off in his personal life. From a position of near hope- less poverty in 1933, he had achieved his dream security "for Mae and the kids," More- over, he was still young and in good health. Consequently, when the drums began beating for a return bout, Jim's own sentiments were di- vided. He was sure he could beat Tonuny again. But he didn't want to give his family any more cause for worry. So, "in fairness to my wife and children," he hung up his gloves. Not without sentiment him- self, Braddock decided to make the gallant stand against Farr his last one in the ring, Today, Jim looks back with satisfaction at his decision. After the Farr fight, he opened a res- taurant in New York. At the outbreak of World War II, he joined the Army Transportation Corps. When that big battle end- ed, Jim got himself a jab with 1 h e operating engineers of a general contracting firm. At 56, he's still in there, punching out a living, ,r.••••wrrr111111 AGENTS AGENTS clubs, ele. Sell C'nnada's finest Christmas cards.

He recalled the days when the children of Israel wandered in the wit• derness for 40 years looking for a new home in the Promised Land. As they crossed the river they placed stones as a memorial so that future genera- tions wound ask "Why These Stones?" and then the story would be told how God had led His children to the land of Canaan, Mr, Fingland stated, that the stones or memorials in Hope Chapel speak of the great faith of those earl; pion. eers who believed in God's love, serv- ed e•ved their country and took their pari in the struggle for life. The service of song was led by Mrs. Robert J. Phillips on the harp and the choir was composed of representatives of several churches. Mrs. Wes. Brad - nock sang a solo to harp accotnpani• meat.

HISS ANNIE VAN ONEN GUEST OF HONOUR AT SHOWER finis Annie Van Onen was guest ol honour at a shower given by Mrs. Hobo Siertsema on Wednesday evening, August 29. Annie was escorted to a gaily dec- orated chair, 'after which a few amus• ing tomes were played. The following address was composed and read by Mrs, George Fear: Now Annie Dear it has been said, That you and Sicbolt soon will wed, So we your friends have come tonight, To bring you gifts and some advice. You can take the Last for what its worth Or write it down on ice, A perfect marriage is a blend • Of love and hate and lots of spunk, Of patience and of cheerfulness, Of fortitude when all seems sunk. Two folks have got to learn to live As though each were the other, To think in terms of "we" and "us," And not run home to mother. '1'o treat each as the better half, '1'o act as if company could see, '1'o speak in voices rich with love, Thal gives the heart its melody. For after all, beth partners Want love in all its glory, And carelessness in act or voice Will write a different story. Work side by side and always share The gond right with the bad, Take time to know each other And don't play at being mad, If doubt and disillusion come, Remember works of art have flaws, Your marriage will go better Without help from your in-laws, To each his own end don't forget, Though other faces tempt, That looks and clothes and money Are usually love exempt. Discuss your views and keep your Thoughts In topdrawer condition, You know you chose each other Under your own violition, Marriages aren't perfect, But marriages trait be heaven. Just mix your two lives carefully, And use leve for the level. Now we have brought some gifts for you, Along with our good wishes, We hope they will be useful Whether towels or pans or dishes, And when the Weddings over, And you are settled in your home, May they remind you of your friends.

DONATION TO INDIA iiAS BEEN DEEPLY AI'I'RECIATEI) The letter below is a letter of great interest to all former W.M.S. ladies of the Blyth United Church. They will recall before we were integrated into the U.C.W. a bond was due id' March 1962 and it was decided to send $250.00 to Dr. Bob McClure "to be used as he saw fit, in his work in India." This our treasurer, Mrs. A. Grant did, and in his letter Dr. McClure tells us what is being done with this money. What a feeling of. satisfaction it is to reach our missionary allocation and our overseas workers are so thankful. But can we picture what a joy it is to some one who has only a set amount of money to spend, and who has to give a 'very strict account of every penny to the horse office in Toronto, to receive a gift of even so small amount of $250.00 sent with the only iusfruc- tfotis "'I'o'spend -ea you see fit" in your work. As we read Dr. McClure's let- ter we see his joy, and pleasure, be- cause he can do something that he knew needed doing for the glory of God and for the good of our brothers in In- dia. For those of us who have known Dr. McClure over the years and have followed his records, we know he has given, and is giving his very best to God and those in need. So we are very happy to hear that our gift has made hire happy and is being used as he knows so well how it will be most help- ful in his work. I hope that his letter may. be an in- spiration to the members of the United Church Women so that another gift may be sent to some of our overseas workers, over and above our allocation. The second mile is always the best one on our way to God's Kingdom. —Past Pres. of W. ALS. Grace McVittie. August 17, 1962. Mrs. Mollie Grant, Blyth, Ont., Canada. Dear Mrs. Grant: This letter will, I hope, he in your hands before Fall activities open up in your 1Vonens Group in your Church. Away back last May we had a letter from Aiiss Nellie Swarbrick, Secretary, at the Board of World Mission Office, telling us of your very very generous gift of $250,00 from your W.11.S. Group, given before they integrated into the new United Church Women's Organiza- tion. This gift came at a most opportune time, May 1 tell you how it has been used? The old T.B. wards in this Hos- pital were badly in need of reiteration. T.B. is a terrific problem in India. It 's not merely a disease of the crowded �i.ties. IL is just as much a disease of :he depressed farmers. Missions Have a special part to play in the anti-T.B. program, because we think our doctor; are not afraid of the disease, and we can give Christian nursing to these pa- tients. And that means a great deal. These reconstructed wards will look after 20 '1'.13. patients in 5 four -bed units. Each unit will have inside flush oilet, hand basin and shower. I say "will have," for we have a little while to wait for the running water, till the City of Hallam has a more adequate supply, But the Space is all ready to have these fixtures installed. And, thanks to your gift., the money is ready to do it. All wards are completely screened against flies and mosquitoes. The wards will be cool in summer and warm in winter. There is an excellent flat roof with ample sleeping space, to be used in good weather, Later on, we may be able to install an electric cell- ing fan in each unity We do thank you' for the very large share your Group has taken in this needed piece of work. May we close, wishing you every joy and success as you enter into a new phase of Church Work in the new Or- ganization. Our very best wishes, and grateful thanks. Ever sincerely yours, Robert B. and Amy L. McClure, High School, Back In The Eighties 1 never had much time for sport, though I used to stay sometimes after school for a game of football -- the soccer kind still most popular in Eng- land The other game, in which the ball, oval instead of round, is carried by the player and signals are checked in huddles, was the invention of the English school, Rugby, under thee, head- mastership of Thomas Arnold, father of Matthew Arnold. It was this same Rugby headmaster who was largely responsible for our curriculum, when in the 1840's he carried through a re- form at Rugby which added ma- thematics, modern history and modern languages to the custom- ary Greek and Latin. This rev- olutionary departure from the "humanities" of classical educa- tion, which had dated from the Renaissance, stopped short of the sciences, There was no science taught in the Strathroy High School when 1 first entered it in 1887, though a little chemistry laboratory was ret up for simple experiments shortly after, and an elementary course opened in botany, I avoided contamination by these intruders into the world of liter- ature, however—to my regret in later years — but it would be wholly wrong to think that there was any lack of stiff discipline In the humanities. Harkness' Latin Grammar set a standard for English, French and German grammars which made languages net only difficult but artificial — as I found out when I first visited France. The one organization of the high school students was the Literary Society, or "the Lit" for short, Although its program in- cluded readings, recitations and songs by the glee club, its chief interest was in debates, modeled on those of the Toronto Univer- sity "Lit" which in turn reflect- ed the glories of the Oxford Unicn. There was no frivolity here. The subjeots were mostly political, and the debates gen- erally followed party lines, 1 remember distinctly one such debate on "Reciprocity with the United States," in which I up- held the Liberal position along with another Liberal, Arthur Currie. I doubt if I should have remembered that incident in my years of friendship with the boy who became Canada's greatest soldier (Sir Arthur Currie, Com- mander of the Canadian army in World War I), if it had not been for an incident which happened on the way home from school that afternoon. We were held up M the railroad crossing by a long freight train from Chicago to the East, and Currie, turning to the group, pointed with an eloquent gesture to the loaded cars as the final argument for freer trade. That is my last distinct me- mory of Arthur Currie until we met again on the fields of France in March, 1919, some forty years later, although we must have been schoolmates for a year or two longer, and I visited his home occasionally. It was a farm of his widowed mother, some three miles from the school —a long walk when there must have been some chores to do as well,—From "The Autobiography of James T, Shotwell."

The peaches, pears, tomatoes, beans, berries, plums, etc., are arranged in the jars to show the beauty of the fruit or vegetable. Pickles look green or golden and the jellies appear b r i g h t and clear! There is a practical side to home canning as well as the ar- tistic side. Statistics published by Ball Brothers show that home canners save $150,000,000 each year by their work in their home kitchens. This is based on the premise that 10 cents a quart is saved by canning. Here are some points about s t o r i n g the finished product: Don't set hot jars in a draft. Place them upright on a folded cloth or cake rack. When thor- oughly cooled, label correctly with name of recipe and date of packing. Check all seals; if the seals on pickles are loose, store in r'efriger'ator and use soon. Store in a cool, dry, dark place. * * .M Would you like to make a rel- ish the easy way? A reader of the Christian Science Monitor sends in such a recipe.

(You should have an equal amount of HEARING THROUGH THE TEMPLES — Pat Flanagan, 17, has invented o revolutionary boon to the deaf, particularly those not helped by present hearing aids.

Pat explains how it operates' "Actually, it isn't o sound you hear. It's more like hearing a thought." BAGFUL OF HAIRDO — Mrs, William S.

About 1850, it went to Ohio, and about 1880, came to Kansas. We have experimented with this recipe and have found that an equal amount of cucumbers can be substituted for the green toma- toes.

Labor Trouble At Buckingham Palace The name of Buckingham Pa- lace usually inspires visions of pomp, pageantry, and a corps of impeccable servants, In any case, that was the vision of Lt Col. John Mansel Miller, late of the spit -and -polish Welsh Guards, when he took command of Her Majesty's Royal Mews last year. He was in for a shock, Making his first inspection of the Queen's 25 gray mares, 50 state carriages, and twelve Rolis- Royces, the rangy, bowler -hatted Crown Equerry found blue -jean - ed stable boys washing out stalls to the accompaniment of twist records, grooms discussing the latest racing results over long tea - breaks, and shirt -sleeved chauffeurs delivering groceries to their wives, Up on the Royal Mews bulletin board went military -style orders for daily roll -call parades, week- ly uniform inspections, and les- sons from an ex -regimental ser- geant -major on the art of shin- ing shoes, The ranks mutinied, Unlike Welsh Guardsmen, who always do as they're told, eighteen of the colonel's civilian "troops" quit on the spot. The rest com- plained to their union about the extra work that prevented them from taking spare -time jobs to supplement their below-average wages of $22 to $30 a week. As the grumbling from the Queen's stables reached the ever - twitching ears of Britain's penny press, officials stepped in to stop what they feared might spread to a mass palace walkout — perhaps even (Egad!) a strike. The Ministry of Labor urged the colonel to give up the parades and inspections. The colonel, a polo -playing friend of Prince Philip, kept a stiff -lipped silence. From Buckingham Palace came only a terse statement; "Every- thing will be resolved soon." Wallpaper Has A Long History Did you know that the first wallpapers were cheap substitu- tes for the costly tapestries, silk and velvet hangings embroideries and antral paintings used In mediaeval times? They were the work of crafts- men of the Middle Ages, the printers and wood engravers who were already skilled in the art of preparing blocks for illustra- tion purposes. Wallpaper became really fash- ionable during the reign of Queen Anne (1702-14). It was produced as sheets about two feet square, often in a "repeat" pattern so that several sheets could be plac- ed side by side to cover a wall. In 1712 a tax of a penny per square yard was imposed on paper which was to be painted, printed or stained. During the seventeenth century wallpaper was very expensive and its use restricted to better - class houses. Eventually methods were developed for making wall- paper in continuous rolls and in 1851, at the Great Exhibition held in I-Iyde Park, hand -printed wall- papers were shown which were a triumph of the printers' craft. Machine -printed wailapers were on general sale for the first time and were said to be better than the cheaper type of hand -printed papers. Most people paper their walls at least once in every three years. Wallpapers went out of fashion in the 1930s and they were un- obtainable during the war be- cause of the shortage of paper. When the war ended people clangoured again for wallpaper and it's now at the height of its popularity. Chinese -painted papers, im- ported by the East India Com- panies were in great demand be- tween 1740 and 1790. Early in the nineteenth cen- tury, French manufacturers, em- ploying the finest designers their country could produce, brought out panoramic or scenic wall- papers. The most famous of these can still be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and shows "Cupid and Psyche." No fewer than 1,500 blocks were engraved to make this par- ticular scenic wallpaper. Towards the end of the nine- teenth century "relief" patterns were devised. They were made by floating a plastic, putty -like composition on to a paper back- ing and then, by continuous pro- cess, passing it through further rollers, which, under pressure reproduced by impression the design engraved on them, DOUBLE BURIAL A small boy was in his back- yard eating worms. lIis mother came out of the house and start- ed scolding him, "Ricky, don't you know that little worm's mother will be lonesome when she can't find her baby worth?" "Don't worry," replied Ricky, "1 ate her, too," 110 Famous People Used To Eat There Sarah Bernhardt, Lea 'fan- guay, and Lillian Russell ate there. John Barrymore, wearing slippers and stroking Jacket, drank there. So did Ben Hecht and his newspaper cronies, as well as thousands of politicians, gangsters, and plain folk. The place; Henrlci's restaurant, a 94 - year -old Chicago landmark whose history is as rich as the Schlag (whipped cream) it serves with its coffee, Founded by a German baker named Philip 1'Ienrici, the res- taurant settled down in 1894, after several moves, at its pro - sent Randolph Street location. Henrici trimmed the inter for with the Victorian finery that still adorns it (tile floors, paneled walls, pastoral paintings), served up robust German food, and catered particularly to the thea- trical elite. When the Iroquois theater burned in 1903, the res- taurant dispatched its waiters to dole out coffee to the firemen. Women weren't allowed to smske at Henrici's until one night in 1920. Sophie 'fucker lit up a cigarette, nobody dared ask her to snuff it out, surd the rule was ignored thereafter, In later year; thc rt taurant became a hangout for Roliticos. Judge John Lyle regularly met there with civic leaders to plot how to rid Chicago of Al Capone —a sometime customer himself. Marc recently one of the biggest tippers was m '.:,tr Mic:ey Cohen. Although the J. fi. '1'ihonhp;on chain took over from :he Hen:'ici family in 1929, the house epec:al- ties remained kd':,ely the same: Sauerbraten, bo::ed i:rishet or beef, braised short ribs of beef, corned beef and cc:1)1m e, and broiled frch whitefish.

Putting in Hay Was D`uffelrlent Thein Seeing slat foie electric eleva- tors lifting trim bales of new- mrde hay into barns suggests maybe we shoeld talk a little nb'nit traci:fo.as, so historians will have a prise for research, There is a trackfork along the peek of my barn, the track hang- ing with nhudwesp nests like bars uncles on a benched boat, and I suppose it will never be used again. But we lased to run in a hundred tons of loose hay with it every summer, and while it wls an unrefined invention we thought it worked rather well. Before the trackfork hay was pit.:hed by hand, In the field one man built load, which called for kr-ewing trimming and binding, forkful by forkful, and since he knew )how the load was built it was his job to pitch off at the been. The man who pitched on in the field would go into the mow and stow, When the track - fork came along the pitching oft was immediately easier, for now he had but to thrust a two -tined ha Poon fork into the load, set . the triggers, and yell Giddap, A horse took over, pulling the long rope out across the dooryard, and the harpoon -forkful rose up, locked into the carrier, and swept the length of the barn to be dropped by a triprope at the proper place, Or almost. Technicians have a1-,vays been about 30 years late in farm advancements, We brag about new methods and effi- ciency, but almost any improved method or device might have been made a generation sooner. Nowadays they deliver feed in bulk, but between the first grain elevator and this triumph were needless years of hundredweight sacks, And there was no need of the hundredkveight, either. The fertilizer people saw this and changed to 80 -pound sacks, which are 20 pounds easier to handle. But the feed people kept right on. And while the trackfork was a good idea, it remained about as it first cane out all the days of its use, and the one in my barn is the sante as the first one available, It had bugs other than wasps. One bug was the matter of communications. The yelling that went on when things worked well was considerable, but when something went awry, as it usual- ly did, it was magnificent. The man deep in the recesses of the barn would watch the forkful rise up, lock into the carrier, and coma charging into the place - like the Valkyrie, When it got where it should be, he'd yell whoa, or ho, or hi, or yoiks, or something audible, and the man on the load would yank the trip - rope. The man on the load would relay the whoa, ho, hi, etc,, and the boy leading the horse would turn off the power. If things went well, you could take off a load in five or six swipes, But if the pitcher -off had in- advertently entwined the trip - rope around his leg and found too late this is not good, which happened oftener than you'd be- lieve, he would articulate splen- didly as the arose like Elijah in a whirlwind, and the others couldn't always construe his re- marks, Once we had a hired man who speared the harpoon through his pants cuff as he set the fork, nailing himself to the task, and as he ascended he could think of nothing to yell except, "My pants! My pants!" Nobody, real- ly, interpreted this helpfully, and fortunately most vagaries of this nature took place with plenty of loose hay spread around below, so his recovery was more em- barrassing than disastrous. I remember we had another man one year who, while stow- ing, slipped off an edge, fell through a scuttle, and cane out Crossword ACROSS 1 Male swan 4 Malay enure 0 Cant game 12 Reverence 13 rowing implements 14 Region 16 C'nvas shelters 17 Most weird 18 Prescribed nmeunt 21 Ila ails ::•' indefinite c.rtide 21 A dhecticn 26 Animal 00 To>thed toot Coaae 61 Deceive 3G sit:: of respect 06 flower pari 30 Sped 09 At all times 41 Ceremony Annex 40 Belief 40 Large tont 47 Iteral end:rg 40 Horatian !cal • '60 New Zelta:d reef 62 Perfume 66 Ccnuan city 69 Diving bird GO jar 62 For G3 porter cit 61 Lairs 65 rine° DOWN 1 Feline Be indented 3 Twist 4 own G Sun acct 6 Mineral reek 17 Bewildered it Wet unsuccessful 1 0 Part of to be 110 Loral thinggse I11 Cereal grt4D 16 Pr11 110 Chest bcre 3s C°rnpound ate.: 32 Property 23 Untophluticaled 20 Subject 37 halo 20 Digging tool 20 Cares for 81 Song bird 33 Courtyard 87 Epistlt'o 40 Feel sorrow 44 Measure of weight 40 Affirmative word 40 Frosted 61 Vipers G2 highest note 63 weep G4 French coin Gr, Female sheep 67 Before 150 Negative work G1 Printing moues NIGHT PILOTS — Flying squirrels are fairly common, Even though many persons spend vacations in the woods without ever seeingthese Interesting animals take to the air, that doesn't mean they weren't near, The litte squirrels are nocturnal and soar at 15 to 20 miles per hour from tree to tree seeking food.

The first is the controver- sial fire -ant program in certain Southern states. It is a vivid ex- ample of both the misuse and the proper application of chemical control techniques, The fire ant is an import from Latin America, Like a wasp or a on the other side of the barn through a horse manger, and as he appeared shouting Whoa sev- eral minutes after to forkful had taken the end out of the barn the maneuver was not con- sidered helpful, either, It was a wonderful year when I was first big enough to lead the horse. He was a doddering old logging gelding that pulled double on the rack, but was un- hitched from the team each time. With the superfluous parts of his harness tossed over his back, we'd fit the trackfork rope to his singletree, and I'd lead him back and forth on command from the load and the mow. A boy given this important duty had one great, consuming care, It was to keep the horse from treading on your tender lit- tle bare toes, 1 learned to walk obliquely, And when the fork lg was set and the Giddap p came , I would tease the old horse into notion, see the slack of the rope take up, hear the pulley whim- per, and see the collar settle back on the horse, Since the first pull away from the rack is the hard- est it was proper to encourage the beast right now with a flat of the hand as high up on his shoulder as I could reach. Then, once clear of the load, the fork moves easier, and after the straight lift snaps into the car- rier the forkful rattles the length, of the barn without too much work from the horse. I had to go until I heard the man on the rack relay the stower's Whoa, then unhitch the rope from the whiffletree clevis and bring the horse back for another hoist. If things went well, they'd have another forkful set by the time I arrived, Some years we'd have an extra horse just for hoisting, and use the two teams and two racks, which meant a steady to-and-fro from noon until the last load of the day was in, All at 45°, and with toes intact, After each load we'd get a drink at the pump, and marvel at. the trackfork, It was a wonderful invention, before elevators, — by John Gould in the Christian Science Monitor. r®1i ;' MIRIAM ®rt ®err .ii'irrr ®11a1ar 11111111111111111 11rr®'`' ®r■ ®r■© 1i1116111111 ®rr1i ®r:: ®r■ err■® 1irri1 ; ©rrr . ®r■ 1111111111111 : iir■©:.11■ °l�rA ©rr1i Iiiii1M111111111111i1 R'irr1iiil 61111111111 1111■ iiiirrr fir■ Answer elsewhere on this page hornet, it has a "fiery" sting, But otherwise, in its homeland, it re- portedly is considered benefi- cial, It builds large mounds that help aerate the soil. It feeds largely on destructive insects. There is little evidence that it is itself destructive either to crops or livestock. Be that as it niay, there was pressure for a control program in the United States. In spite of protests from some wildlife au- thorlties, such a program was launched several years ago in which a new and very powerful poison (heptachlor) was spread over large areas at a rate of two pounds per acre. Fire ants were not brought un- der control. But there were dev- astating loses among wildlife of many species, Today, hardly anyone has a good word for the early fire -ant program. It is considered an out- standing example of bulling ahead with a massive ohemical attack on an insect, heedless of the consequences. * * * But there is a bright side to the story. Along with its program of spreading poison against the fire ants the USDA carried out research to find better and safer control methods. As described by Dr. Edward F. Knipling, Director, of the USDA Entomological Research Division, the first fruits of this research have led the depart- ment to reduce drastically the dosages of heptachlor, It has been found that two treatments a yesr, three to six months apart, at a rate of a quarter of a pound per acre are as effective as the heavier one-shot treat- ment and are far less damaging to wildlife. Beyond this, Dr. Knipling says that his division has developed what entomologists consider the ideal for a chemical method of control. They have found a way of aiming their poison at the fire ant alone, First they found that peanut oil or soybean oil was peculiarly attractive to fire ants. Then they tried mixtures of these oils with various poisons and various methods of application to find a way of poisoning the fire ants that wildlife biologists could cer- tify as safe. They have come up with a sys- tem that, to judge from large- scale trials, seems to be the an- swer. Poison is mixed with soybean oil which is absorbed by finely ground corncobs. This bait is spread at a rate of 10 pounds per acre, Costwise, Dr. Knipling says, this method is much more econ- omical than the eld heptachlor treatment, Moreover, the poison itself has a concentration of only five grains per acre. This level seems to be quite safe for wild- life, which would not be particu- larly attracted to the corncob bait anyway, As for the ants, they take the bait back to their nests and in- troduce the poison to whole col- onies, The second example is widely regarded as one of the outstand- ing triumphs of entomology. It is the nonchemical control of the screwworm fly by a technique developed by Dr, Knipling and his colleague Raymond Bushland. • • * To describe it briefly, the two entomologists learned to produce male flies by the million and to tender them sterile by irradia- tient. These males, released over large areas, interbred freely with the natural screwworm fly popu- lation, They overwhelmed the natural males and they produc- ed no offspring, The result has been virtual el- imination of screwworm flies, a very damaging cattle pest, in areas where the technique has been used. Thls is the kind of thing one means by biological control. It may be use of an insect's reproductive cycle to control its numbers. It may be a studied en- couragement of a pest's natural enemies, It may bo introduction of some insect malady that will afflict a pest but harm nothing else. In every case, at least ideally, it is the skillful application of a thorough knowledge of a pest and of its interaction with the rest of nature. What is urgently needed today is a vigorous development and intelligent use of all types of pest control, Dr, John L, George has summarized the situation in an article in the British journal, the New Soientlst, "Few persons," ha writes, "ser- iously recommend the abandon- ment of pest oontrol, but many question that chemical treat- ment should be accepted as at matter of course. The latter should not be considered obstruc- tionists, for there are many un- desirable aspects of pesticide use. "To minimize wildlife damage • . . (one) should "I, Use chemical treatment only when entomological re- search has proved it to be nec- essary. , . . "2, Before pesticides are used, the effects on different kind of animals and on animals living in different habitats should be known and carefully considered, "3. Only minimum quantities of chemicals , , . should be ap- plied. "4, Pesticides should not be ap- plied to areas that are any larger than necessary and the chemicals , should be the ones whose ef- fects are no more long-lasting than necessary, "5, Whenever possible, chemi- cals should be applied at the sea- sons of the year when wildlife damage will be least. "6. Serious effort should be 'made to be sure that pesticides are applied at no more than the intended rates and that no areas receive double doses. In large- scale treaments it is very diffi- cult to avoid areas of overlap or multiple treatment." Dr. George adds that these are minimal measures. Concurrent with them, he says, "more at- tention should be given to de- veloping chemicals that will be toxic specifically to one particu- lar group. , , ." a * * .. "Biological methods of control also should have, more study," he says, He points out that "other promising control methods in- clude planting and harvesting at particular times, proper fertiliz- ation and rotation of crops, des- truction of insect wintering quar- ters, and manipulation of water, "Many research entomologists believe that the develop- ment of varieties of plants and animals that are resistant to troublesome insects and disease holds the greatest promise of all." The balanced approach to pest control that Dr. George advo- cates probably will not come un- til there is 'en aroused public awareness both of the dangers of the massive Use of poisons and of the benefits of balanced con- trol. This awareness may grow out of the debate that is being spark- ed by Rachel Carson. Unfortunately, in her New Yorker articles she has focused so heavily on the negative as - ISSUE 36 — 1962 pets of chemical control that she is drawing criticism from some entomologists and other scien- tists who might otherwise he her allies, r • • They repent her neglect of much good work that has been done on nonchemical control methods, They also feel that she has overstated the dangers of the chemical methods and failed to consider the many benefits they have trade possible, In thih con- nection, it should be noted that, in her book, she does include a chapter discussing nonchemical techniques. Leaders of the $300,000,000 pesticide industry, for their part, reportedly are irate. The National Agricultural Chemical Association and the Manufacturing Chemists Associ- ation have criticized Miss Car- son's articles as a "misrepresent- ation" and a "disappointment." The trade journel Chemical and Engineering News takes a more balanced view, "There can be no doubt that the balance of pesticides' . contributions to humanity is heavily favorable," the journal says, It adds, however: "Careless- ness and callousness that allow injury or harm (to wildlife) are deplorable; strong measures need to be taken against them, . • Control adequate for safe use is possible. "The potentially much more serious long-term possibilities of damage from pesticides are not known, They are certainly a source of emotional as well as objective concern. Unless atten-, tion is given . to them, the emo- tional is likely to outweigh the objective and perhaps prevent our ever establishing the facts, "Before this matter gets into the futile circus that can evolve in congressional hearings, an ap- propriate branch of the govern- ment, with full support from the pesticides industry, should set up an objective panel to evaluate the total available evidence." Certainly it would be unfortu- nate if the public debate Miss Carson seems to be stirring were to be muddied by emotionalism, either on the part of industry or of the pesticide critics. To arouse an apathetic public, she has under'scor'ed dangers and sharply criticized what she re- gards as the failure of both in- dustry and government to deal with these dangers candidly and effectively, But it is the misuse of poisons through negligence, willfullness, or ignorance that she is attack- ing, not the concept of chemical control itself. "My contention," she writes, "is not that moderate chemical controls should never be used but, rather, that we must re- duce their use to a minimum and must as rapidly as possible de- velop and strengthen biological controls. * * • "I contend that we have put poisonous and biologically potent chemicals indiscriminately into the hands of persons who are largely or wholly ignorant of the harm they do. There is still a very limited awareness of the nature of the threat. "The public," she concludes, "must decide whether it wishes to continuo on the present road, and it can do so only when it is in full possession of the facts." Regardless of the shortcom- ings of Miss Carson's presenta- tion, there is a statement of a very serious and very urgent public issue. It will not be re- solved by exchanges of recrimin- ations or self-justifying declara- tions bet w e en promoters of chenhical control and its critics. The time is more than ripe for experts of all persuasions to shake off their prejudices and join forces in a thorough restudy NMY SCllOO1 LESSON Ity Rev, R. Barclay %Verret', B.A., B.D.

Nehemiah came to Jerusalem in a time of crisis. From' hhn we can learn much about the essen- tial qualities for any who are to give leadership in such a time. Nehemiah had the cause on his heart, He wasn't working for money or fame. He cared. So great was the burden on his mind when he heard from friends that the walls were broken down and the gates burned with fire, that he could not conceal his grief, even from the king. Prayer was his constant source of strength. He prayed when he heard the news, and before he presented_ his request to the king and as he faced and overcame the difficulties throughout. He had great faith in God. When the enemy was • most intent on at- tacking them, he could say, "Our God shall fight for us." Nehemiah was realistic, He looked into the worst of the situ- ation. He did not minimize the enormity of the task or the strength of the opposition. He was ready to venture forth. He was not an autocrat, He could enlist others in the cause. He told the men of God's guidance thus far, and then said, "Let us rise up and build." Nehemiah was a worker. He was no armchair leader. He, shared in the sacrifice of com- forts, He and the men closest to him did not remove their clothes during those critical days, except for washing, Scorn and disdain heaped upon him did not turn him from his purpose, Tobiah said, "If a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall." Nehemiah went on with the task, Nehemiah, was wise in dealing with the opposition, He would not compromise nor would he stop the work to confer with thein. He declared, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, Whilst I leave it, and come down to you?" Such a man was able to inspire his fellow workers. "The people had a mind to work." He intro- duced economic reform, rebuk- ing the nobles and rulers who had had charged excessive inter- est against their brethren, Nehe- miah was a great leader.
