THE ARMY WORM
Two groups of farmers, their wives and friends leave Toronto
on the Ontario Goodwill Crop Tour to the Pacific Coast, Board
ing the train are A. H. Martin, left, secretary of the Ontario
Soil and Crop Improvement Association, Mrs. Elsie Mitchell,
of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Louis Roy, of the
Canadian National Railways Department of Colonization and
Agriculture. Altogether, more than 100 goodwill ambassadors
will spend 2 weeks visiting everything from model farms to the

Running W.ater In
Summer Cottages
Cooking over a wood stove and
dipping water from a rain bar ,
rel is still the lot of many sttra,
rner eottagers.
Tt may be a while before the
weed stove is turned in for an • :
electric, one. Ent the prospects ,-X';
for a tap in the kitchen are much
brighter.
Hundreds of summer cottagers
have laid pipelines from wells
or springs - all without benefit

power. The only toole they need,
ed were a *knife, a screwdriver
and a spade to open a shallow
trench,
All this was made possible by
the development of a new type
of pipe for cold water supply-
polythene piping, Polythene is
the plastic familiar in most'
kitchen's in flexible tumblers and.
ice-cube trays. It has, been used
.for years in such prOdueta as
dainty cosmetic squeeze bottles,
But it is also first-rate in this
less glamorous role.
Polythene, seems made-to-
order: for piping. It is safe for
drinking waters It doesn't rust.
It so flexible that it can be
snaked around trees and rocks
and the handyman installing it
doesn't even have to dig a
straight trench. •
It takes a truck to transport
traditional metal piping. But
polythene piping is so light a
boy can carry 400 feet of it on
his shotilder.
And it is no temporary stop-
gap for "proper" plumbing. Since
it resists the corrosion which
ruins ordinary galvanized water
lineS, its makers see no reason
why it should not last indefinite-
ly.

This is the time when farmers
should be on the lookout for
armyworms in their spring
- grain, fall, wheat (if still green),
corn, and pasture and hay fields,
advises Dr. W. E. Heming, Head,
Department of Entomology and
Zoology, Ontario Agricultural
College.
Reports of damaging infesta-
tions have been received from
Welland, Lincoln, Wentworth,
and Brant counties to date. Three
of these infestations were in fall
wheat and the other was in pas-
ture. Since fall wheat is begin-
ning to turn colour and the
)eaves to toughen, the worms
are moving out of that crop into
adjacent, more succulent crops.
The striking effectiveness of
serum, together with vaccine, in
preventing rabies in a group of
people severely bitten by a
rabid wolf in Iran, and in simi-
lar experiences of a less exten-
sive nature, were accepted as
clear demonstrations of the use-
-fulness of this method by the
Third WHO Expert Committee
on. Rabies meeting in the Pas-
teur Institute in Paris.
* * *
Until recently victims of the
severe head and face bites from
rabid animals often succumbed,
despite prompt inoculation of
rabies vaccine, probably because
the infection had become esta-
blished before vaccine could take
effect. The combined treatment
with serum and vaccine now
gives assurance of success even
in the most serious cases, as the
serum appears to check the di-
sease until the vaccine can be-
gin to work.
4' * *
During the past 15 years,
among victims of rabid wolves
treated at the Institute Pasteur
in Teheran about 40% of these
bitten in the head died despite
vaccine treatment. A trial was
therefore organized there by
WHO to represent the severest
proof to which the serum could
be submitted, and to attempt to
remedy the situation created by
the failure of classical methods
of treatment in severe exposure
to rabies. From 1950 to 1954 only
isolated cases were successfully
treated by the new ,method, and
their number was not sufficient
to reach a definite conclusion,
However in August 1954, a
rabid wolf attacked 29 people in
an Iranian village in the space
of a few hours, This provided the
opportunity for a decisive test.
The Victims were taken at once
to 'Teheran and treated on ar-
rival, with conclusive results
even among the 18 patients who
suffered severe head wounds..
* *
The most striking g case was
that of a six-year-old boy whose
skull had been crushed by the
vsoif's bite and who survived,
despite the fact that rabies virus
had been, so to speak, directly
injected into his brain, He was
given six injections of serum
and a course of vaccine.

ing 'pertbris whose occupetions

This year outbreaks have not
been general except in one or
two areas of the southern United
States. Elsewhere damage has
been relatively slight and more
or less local in nature. However,
it may be different in Ontario,
and farmers are urged to inspect
susceptible crops as soon as this
warning is received.
The worms, or larvae, are
known by sight to most farmers.
Spraying or dusting by air, the
use of equipment, or baiting by
-hand (if labour is available) will
provide control. Additional in-
formation, and the necessary
control recommendations, can be
obtained at the office of the
agricultural representative.
ries a danger of post-vaccina-
tion complications.
•
The new approach involves
providing basic protection by
giving very small doses of chic-
ken embryo vaccine, or a few
doses of ordinary nervous tissue
vaccine, followed by a single
booster dose after they are bit-
ten, instead of the long (14-21
day) 'schedule of inoculations
now performed.
* *-
Rabies in wild animals, parti-
cularly in foxes, jackals and
wolves, is a problem in many
countries. It also exists in in-
sectivorous bats in areas of North
America and it has long been
established that rabies is trans-
mitted to men and animals in
Latin America by blood-sucking
bats. * * *
The finding of rabies In
insectivorous bats in Yugoslavia
indicates that this problem is
not confined to the Western
Hemisphere. Wild animal reser-
voirs present special difficulties
and it was agreed that extra-
ordinary measures must be
evolved to combat them.
* * •
The serum-vaccine treatment,
an important advance in the
fight against rabies, is the re-
sult of international collabora-
tion, co-ordinated by WHO. * * •
The Expert Committee mem-
bers, whose laboratories are
situated in India, Iran, Israel,
Spain, France and the United
States, have been working to-
gether on problems of rabies
control since 1950.
n A .Dither
Anxiety and tensions are
natural and protectively use-
ful part of modern living, Dr,
George S. Stevenson points Out
in 'his new booklet, "`How to Deal
With -Your Tensions," released
by the National Association for
Mental Health, The time to
watch out for them is "when
emotional upsets come frequent-
ly, shake us severely, and fail
to wear off after a while." Some
Of the danger signals:
• Do minor problems and die-,
appointments throw you into
dither?
• Do the small pleasures of life
fail to satisfy you?
• Do you find it difficult to get
along with people?
• Do you fear people or situa-
tions that never used to trouble
you?
• Do you feel trapped?
• Do you feel inadequate, suffer
the tortures of self-doubt?
If the answers to most of these
qestions is "yes," Dr. Stevenson
suggests these ways of making
life more bearable:
• When something worries you,
don't bottle it up. Talk it over
with some level-beaded person
you can trust,
• When things go wrong, don't
make yourself "just stand there
and suffer." Escape for a while
(not permanently) in a brief trip,
a movie, a book, or a game.
• If you get into frequent quar-
rels with people, stand your
ground when you are right, but
do it calmly, and remember that
you could be wrong.
• If your workload seems un-
bearable, remember to take one
thing at a time. Shun that "Su-
perman" urge that makes you
expect too much from yourself.
• Don't feel that you must "get
theie first," no matter how tri-
vial the goal.
• If you feel "left out," neglect-
ed, and rejected socially, try
"making yourself available" In-
stead of waiting for others to
make overtures. - From "News-
week."

for a black cat to follow you?"

man or a mouse"

But the LQRD said, "Surely

of Baal which his father had

and used its wood to offer sacri-
fice on an altar to the LORD.

utterly amazed. Thor-worship
received a body blow.
Gideon prepared an army of
30,000 men. God said they were
too many. "Lest Israel vaunt
themselves against me saying,
'Mine own hand hath saved me'.'
When the fearful were asked to
leave 22,000 went. Another 7,700
failed on the next test. They
were not sufficiently alert and
keen for the battle. The remain-
ing 300 "stood every man in hl

was a great day of victory.

Toothpaste Saved
Sailor's Life
Tony Mendoza was, dying. All
night long his fever-ridden body
had sprawled helplessly in the
bottom of the drifting lifeboat.
By morning his nine companions
knew he would be dead,
After eighteen days adrift
since their freighter, the Saint
Anselm, was torpedoed in July
1941, the ten men were without
load or water. All they had was
a half tube of toothpaste,
9 think .1'11 mix a little tooth-
paste with some seawater," the
first engineer said. "It might
make Tony's end a little easier."
In a little tin he scooped up
some seawater and squeezed
toothpaste into it, stirring it with
his finger. Then he held it to the
dying man's lips. Mendoza gulp-
ed the mixture down eagerly,.
Within an hour Mendoza's
breathing eased. His body broke
out in a sweat; by dawn he was
sleeping peacefully, the fever
broken, When he regained con,
sciousness two hours later, he
was again, given a half pint of
seawater mixed with toothpaste.
Some of the other men, who had
been without water for two
days, tried it,
The same afternoon, a Span-
ish freighter appeared on the
horizon and picked up the drift-
ing seamen. Later, in London,
they told officials about the
toothpaste. The manufacturers
were asked whether it contained
any ingredient which would ac-
count for the dying seaman's re-
markable recovery. The reply
was that it did not.
The war at sea has produced
many remarkable rescue stories.
When Henry Heinson's ship was
torpedoed in the spring of 1943,
he was flung into the sea On an
inky dark night. He bumped
into something and found it was,
a piece of the wrecked ship
still afloat.
Heinson climbed on to it and
discovered that it was part of
the pantry with one small com-
partment still intact, In is was
a cabbage! Behind it he found a
small jar of distilled water.
Heinson, bearly able to keep
the piece of wreckage afloat,
lived on the ,cabbage for seven-
teen days, His small supply of
distilled water he eked out with
snow and rain collected by
means of a piece of canvas. In
his pocket he had a photograph
of his Wife which he used to
prop up and talk to for hours.
Both his body and spirit sur-
vived and after he was picked
up and landed In Hein-
son was awarded the British
Empire Medal for his lark-
able endurance.
Captain Donald Blyth one-
legged ship's captain, found
himself In a shark-infested sea
with eight of his crew after their
ship we torpedoed.
"come on, boys, let's swim
around," Captain Blyth shouted,
and be set the example when a
hopelessness gripped the freeZ-
ingly cold men.
For eleven hours he swam
around with his men keeping up
their spirits by singing war-time
songs, He was still singing
hoarsely, hardly able te keep
his head above the water, when
an R.A,F, seaplane came over,
head and dropped two rubber
dinghies to them, For his bra-
very Captain Blyth received the
Order of the British Empire,
When his ship was torpedoed‘
in 1940, Ira. Starling, a young
seaman, serving in a British
tanker, found himself the only
survivor in the sea. Near-by he
saw a holed lifeboat still afloat.
He had just clambered in when
the U-boat opened fire on him
with machine-guns.
Starling jumped overboard
and hid under the water. The
U-boat circled the lifeboat. Ira
Starling promptly dived and
came up on the other side of
the lifeboat! Soon the U-boat
went on its way and he climbed
into the lifeboat where he found
a tin of ship's biscuits and a
gallon of slightly tainted water.
On these biscuits and water,
Starling lived for twenty-two
days. On the twenty-third day,
he saw a small shark nosing,
around the lifeboat. The young
seaman leaned over and waited.
Just as the shark passed under
the stern, he shot out his hand,
gripped the great fish by the tail
and flipped it into the boat.
He battered it to death and,
with his pocket knife, sliced off
shark steaks which helped him
survive until he was picked up
by a Portuguese ship six days
later.
Perhaps the strangest rescue
story of the war concerns the
San Florentino. She was struck
by four torpedoes and broke in
two. The forepart up-ended un-
til it floated vertically, with the
stem protruding 100 feet in the
air. Two men clung to it and,
as it slowly sank, they climbed
up the fore topmast until they
were high above the sea, cling-
ing precariously to stays.
Twenty hours later a British
freighter came on the scene and
the men were saved
For Hikers
When the youngster at yOUT
house announces that he's start-
ing at once on a big expedition,
a beeline hike through the woods
to the pond, you can be, sure a
hearty sandwich of two is ex-
pected from you pronto. That
tenacious favorite, peanut butter,
can be modified a bit and still
please him.
Fry 4 strips of bacon, crumble
them into 1/2 cup peanut butter,
and add a teaspoon of minced
onion if he likes it. When this
is spread on the bread, place
on top bite-size pieces of tomato.
Tomato provides welcome mois-
ture, and with bite-size pieces,
there are no unwieldy, large
slices to cope with.
This sandwich travels well to
work, too, and won't get soggy
if you use the firm part of the
tomato. Another good peanut
butter combination adds chopped
cooked prunes or apricots - 1/2
cup fruit and 2 teaspoons lemon
juice or fruit juice to 1/2 cup
peanut butter.
