The couple has a number of large maple trees on their 31 acre property and this sparing made about four gallons of syrup. They also planted 31 new maples at the back of their pro- perty Right now Mel Woodhouse its designing a speciiil chess board and table. Each square will be in- laid and he's thinking of using black walnut (if he can get enough) for the dark squares and a contrasting light wood for the alternate ones. But there's more than that involved. "We have some friends who play chess and I've noticed that it's usually a long game; so I'm designing a table with room for a sandwich and a cup of coffee or something like that. I hope to dolt this winter and I know I'mgoing to enjoy working on it." He's also working on a line of special recreational -exercise toys, the first of which is a wooden disc-like swing attached to a rope. "I think these will go over big,' he says. From the looks of it, the Wood - houses have learned to enjoy life - period. Far from being isolated, they are continually being con- tacted by people who have heard about their toys, usually by word of mouth. But they enjoy people, too, and obviously see their toy business as a relaxing hobby. Besides enjoying life they appre- ciate it, and the life they appre- ciate most is country life.. "It's beautiful, isn't it," said Mel, commenting on the silence of the late Indian summer morn- ing. • "You know you see these young kids and all they can think about is getting away to the city. They think that's where_ the ac- tion is - that's where it's at. And you can't talk to them, tell them that isn't where it's at. It's some- thing` they've got to find out for themelves." The interview over, I remarked that, on such a gorgeous day it would be nice to take a different route back to Listowel. Mel and Ella were enthusiastic. "Yes, why don't you?" agreed Mel.

Williams WORDS OFTEN MISUSED Do not say, "The wedding oc- curred In the bride's home." Say, "The wedding TOOK PLACE." Things TAKE PLACE by arrange- ment, and they OCCUR by chance or accident. The use of "absolutely" with the word "correct" is superfluous. Say, "The solution is correct," not "ab- solutely correct." Do not say, "It's no use for me to write him." Say, "It's OF no use for me to write TO him." Do not say, "What we need are more textbooks." Say, "What we need IS more textbooks." "What we need" is a noun clause expres- sing the idea of our need, which is singular. OFTEN MISPRONOUNCED • Extraordinary. Pronounce eks- tror-di-ner-i, principal accent on sec- ond syllable, and in FIVE syllables - not as sometimes heard in six syllables, as "eks-tra-or-di-ner-i." Aerie (nest of bird of prey). Rhymes with "carry." Doughty. Pronounce dow-ti, ac- cent first syllable. Blasphemous. Accent FIRST syl- lable, not the second. Confiscatory. Accent SECOND syllable, not the first. WORD STUDY "Use a word three times and it is yours." Let us increase our vo- cabulary by mastering one word each day. Words for this lesson: DISPIRITED (adjective); dis- couraged; dejected; gloomy. "After their third consecutive defeat, some of the team's members became dis- pirited:" COMPENDIUM; a brief sum- mary of the main heads, main prin- ciples, or substance, of a larger work or system; a digest.

CHESS TIME Bogart was rated tops in Hollywood, By JOSEPH MILL BROWN To read the histories of most chessmasters is to get the impression that tour- nament success begins at age of 2, and if you haven't won a championship by 5 you mit as well take up basket- ball. asketba Actually, this is not the case for the millions of players who came to the game later in live. They manage, through study and steady playing, to acquire a proficiency that enables them to do well in club cham- pionships and small tourna- ments. Even among the masters, precociousness is not a requi- site. America's Larry Evans learned the game at 13, and Cuba's Silvino Garcia came to it at 19. Hungary's Gedeon -Barcza was a late -bloomer; he didn't take up chess until he was almost 30. For years everyone be- lieved the forte of Humphrey Bogart was playing Sam Spade while furiously making love to Lauren Bacall and In- grid Bergman. Not so. Next to television and movie writer Norman Lessing, Bogey was rated the strongest amateur chessplayer in Hollywood, having learned the game "as a kid hanging around the shooting galleries in New York." The game below was a blindfold exhibition by chess - master George Koltanowski. Although Bogart had sight of the board and Koltanowski did not, it showed the movie star to be of respectable club - player caliber. Against Kolta- nowskl he had good drawing chances until his blunder on the 40th move. The history of chess is made HOLLYWOOD -1952 George Koltanowski Humphrey Bogart FRENCH DEFENSE 1. P -K4 2.
