Just When Will
The World. End?
Predieting the e n d Of the
Werld is almost as old as the
world
The Israelites did it; the Plia-
Yeas of Egypt had teams, Of
.caryers etch on their pyramid
walls various dates for Judg-
ment Day; and down the cen-
turies Doom prophets have
cropped up with monotonous re-
gularity. Some have devoted
their whole life to computing
when the end will come,
But many of them play safe
like the man who spent
weeks in 1.933 adding together
the verses of the Bible. He
found they totalled 20,067, That,
he announced over a United
States radio network, would be
the year in which the world
would end,
There are still 18,109 years to
go, So even if he is wrong, he
won't be around to be laughed
at.
There have been even odder
methods of arriving at the Day
of Judgment. An Australian
worked it out by counting the
stars. To this figure he added
;923 — the year he had started
his marathon reckoning — and
forecast the end for 36,654. Of
course, he could be right!
Others have used the solar
system to arrive at end-of-world
day. A Welshman has calculated
the date from a study of sun-
fpo ts.
One mathematical genius relied
on a complicated system by
which he worked out the earth's
distance from the moon and sun,
and subtracted the difference,
After some more mental juggl-
ing, he found that the answer
was 1919.
When he announced this tIA
result was fantastic. In New
York, street pedlars made a for-
tune selling "Save Your Soul"
charms. In the early months of
the "fateful" year, South Ameri-
can stock markets rose and fell
with incredible speed. At least
one London broker sold all his
holdings and departed to the
South of France for a final spree.
There was panic in Delhi, gloom
in Moscow and a series of re-
vival meetings in Cape Town.
But 1919 passed and the earth
was still revolving . . .
Not- one forecast was made
about the end Of the world dur-
ing the second World War, but
as soon as V-J-Day came, the
prophets of gloom worked tire-
lessly to dampen the celebra-
tions.
A United States seer was given
the freedom of a national radio
station to tell the world that the
end would come at 10.45 a.m. on
September 21st, 1946. In hours
his prediction was page one news
everywhere.
When September arrived, the
seer broadcast instructions 'on
how "to win a seat in Heaven."
Thousands of people sold all
their worldly possessions in an
effort to secure redemption. Big
business took a tumble. Some
people stopped buying clothes.
Even food shops reported a de-
finite decline in customers.
But churches were packed.
There were reports of hundreds
of people spending hours every
day kneeling in prayer.
On September 20th, crowds of
people took to the mountains
around Los Angeles to join the
eeer in prayer.
September 21st dawned. The
tension mounted. But the day
ended and the 'world was ,still
intact.
The seer vanished overnight.
The F.B.I. and half the State
Worldwide Rush
For Solid Gold
Although almost every nation
in the world long ago abandoned
the gold standard, it becomes
more and more apparent that
many of their citizens had not.
West German bankers were
enjoying a. brisk trade in ,gold
coins (sold for 20 per cent more
than the value of the gold con-
tent) and small gold bars. The
bankers, who have had an open
bullion market for less than a
year, estimated that private cus-
tomers were buying at the rate
of $100 million a year. Paris
traders, with a turnover of al-
most $1.5 million a day, were
doing the best of all the world's
private markets. Syrians, hedging
against effects of absorption of
their currency by Egypt, were
stocking on' gold across' the
border in LebanOn. Gold smug-
glers from Hong ,Kong and the
tiny sheikdoms of the persien
Gulf were nicking Indians for
the world's highest price for
sovereigns — $58 an ounce vs.
the Official "United States gold
price of $35 an ounce.
Americans were not immune
to the gold fever, either Franz
'Pick, a currency expert with his
own financial intelligence corps,
reported: "People with consider-
able assets have started to buy
gold shares and those with even
greater means are buying gold
in London and Zurich." On the
stock exchanges of New York,
Toronto, and London, gold shares
have been among the star per-
formers for some months now,
rising in some cases by as much
as 12 per cent against the gen-
eral downward trend of stocks.
To satisfy the intensified world
craving for gold; producers were
digging away as fast as they
could. South African fields pro-
duced 17 million ounces last
year, 7 per cent more than 1956.
And for the first time in history,
Russian gold mines are believed
td have Matched the South Afri-
can total.
What was behind the new gold
rush?
There was, Of course, the usual
distrust of French peasants in
their goverronent. There was
American worry over hard times,
and inflation (gold is the tradi-
tional refuge for the financial
Cassandra). There was, among
the Germans, a postWar Search
for long-denied personal sedulity.
But behind all thit was some-
thing else — a story of back-
room intrigue and pressures
which is only now coming into
the open.
The Smith African gold..com-
panies --- and the British and
French governments, so the tum-
ors on this high-level grapevihe
go -- want the price of gold to
go up. The iiiiitete would Make

eeee Fee a grand display of colour,
aaiden experts advise solid beds
or a mixture of two or three
flowers only, of similar heights
and blooming season. And if we
can make these beds at least six
feet across and better, the more
impressive the effect.
Showy flowers that suit these
big solid beds are the eilaniast
which now come in a Wide range
of colour an asilmost as big as
sunflowers, marigolds, (both
dwarf a a d large)- Petunias,
phlox, cosmos, salvia 'and quite
a few other showy but not so
common flowers whin -one will
find listed in the Canadian Seed
catalogue*
To make sure the centre is
seen to the best advantage or
the back if the beds are in front
of a fence or wall, hole a good
idea to slope them upwards to-
ward the back or centre by
several inches. Planted well
apart and fairly regularly in the
beds cultivation will be a lot
easier than where we jumble
too closely together.
YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE
At the new home of the. Cana-
dian' National Institute for The
Blind in Toronto, there is a new
kind of garden. In special beds
there are all sorts of flowers
noted for their fragrance. People
do not have to be able to see to
enjoy this garden and, of course,
it is just as attractive, in face
more so, in the evening or dark
as in the daytime.
Long ago, in the old fashion-
ed garden, thei'd—Was always a
bed or two of specially fragrant
flowers planted in such a loca-
tion that their perfume Would
reach the people sitting on the
verandah. A feature like that
will add interest to any garden,
old fashioned or modern and
there are plenty of special
flowers listed in any Canadian
seed catalogue which will suit
the purpose. Same of the best
known for perfume are nicotine,
sweet peas, alyssum, evening
primrose, lilies, s'w'eet williarn,
pinks and mignonette.
IT NEEDS FEEDING
Most peeple understand well
enough that vegetables arid even
flowers require plant food and
they will add some sort of ferti-
lizer to the beds of both, more
nor less regularly. But when it
comes to the poor old lawn, they
seem to think that grass will
grow without any help whatever.
In, most cases it will grow, but
it will grow a lot faster, greener
and smoother if it gets a regu-
lar feeding, say at least Once a
year. "But why push it along"
some will ask "when that means
1 will have to cut it oftener."
True growing grass will or
should be cut oftener than a hay
field, but cutting is easy with a
modern mower and certainly it
is much less difficult than weed-
ing. Well fed, quick growing
grass will smother out most
weeds and aside from regular
mowing that is about all, the at-
tention it will require.
FASTER THE BETTER
The secret of tender vegetables
is fast growth.
Modern varieties, of course,
are a vast improvement over the
sorts that were popular in our
parents' day. Carrots have less
core, beets are darker and there
is no fibre, beans are really
stringless, and if the kids of a
generation ago had the tender
spinach available today, there
would have been no objecting.
But even with these new and im-
proved vegetables the quicker
they are grown the better the
.
The gardener cart speed things
materially in a variety of ways.
First, of course, he should break
up the soil making es fine a
mulch as possible and keep it
fine and loose with cultivation.
He should also water when neces-
sary, and space out or thin to
permit easy growth. For root
vegetables, especially those like
carrots or parsnips that go
down fairly deep, it is an excel-
:lent plan, where the soil is heavy,
to make a trench about a fOot
deep and six to ten inches wide.
This is filled with fine rich soil
With plenty of humus from the
compost, heap and heat we sow
the seed.
