JJlaai„' as
There may be some argument
as to whether or not there is
one distinct race of Canadians.
But no one will deny that we
have a distinct. climate. In fact,
we have several climates all
Canadian, For that reason the
flower and vegetable seeds we
sow and the nursery stack we
plant must be specially selected
for Canada. Something that may
give wonderful results in Eng-
land orr. Virginia or the south seas
could be a terrible flop here.
When one selects seed from a Ca-
nadian seed catalogue, one can
be sure that that seed is suited to
Canada, that, in most eases, it
has been field tested under ac-
tual Canadian conditions and is
especially bred for our short
but quick growing climate.
LAWN WORK EARLY
The new gardener is too much
inclined to rush the season and
get out digging hardly before
the last snow drifts have melt-
ed. Much more harm than -good
results from this haste with
most garden jobs. But there is
one we can hardly start too
soon. 'That is repairing, rebuild-
ing the lawn or starting a brand
new one,
Grass grows best when the
weather is cool and moist and
the sooner the seed is planted
in the spring the better. Of
course, we can't or shouldn't
start to make or dig while the
soil isthe least bit muddy. But
oven' before the last snow goes
we can put up a wire around
the lawn to protect it from
wandering children and adults
who should know better. Then
a• little later we can smooth out
any bumps and fill any holes
and re -seed. With the new
Iawn to -be, too, we should start
raking and levelling just as
soon as the soil is dry enough.
Grass, it should be remembeged,
is a plant just like a flower or
vegetable, and if we want it to
do well, we plant the best seed
available and in good fine soil.
FOR AN EARLY START
About this time in the cooler
parts of Canada or where the
real spring seems to have been
unduly delayed, one can get a .
head start by sowing some seeds
of the tenderer sorts of flowers
and vegetable in shallow trays
or flower pots and putting in a
sunny window. With a bit of
luck and if we follow directions,
we can get a substantial supply
of started plants, such as zin-
nias, marigolds and such things
in the flowers and tomatoes,
peppers and even a few extra
early melons in the vegetable
line. These boxes should be
watered frequently and turned
around frequently so that the
plants do not get spindly.
NOT TOO DEEP
One of the commonest mis-
takes of the new gardener is to
plant far too deep. Little seeds
like that of aster, zinnias, por-
tulca, alyssum, lettuce, carrots,
and so on, is merely pressed in
the ground with perhaps a tiny
bit of the finest soil or sand
sifted lightly over. Bigger seeds
like those of peas, beans and
nasturtiums should be planted
about half an inch deep, corn
and beans an inch deep, and
potatoes, gladiolus, dahlias she
to eight inches deep.
MAKE THEM WORK
"It's useless sowing seeds two
feet deep," Pothers advised his
neighbour over the garden fence,
"I know,' was the repsly, "but
It annoys the birds."

ZETA edazzles
Watchers
Outside there was snow. The
roads were covered with a sheet
of ice. Traffic, cut adrift from
time, gingerly felt its delayed
and darkening way across Berk-
shire.
Inside Harwell, in a concrete
shelter in a onetime aircraft
hangar, Britain's H -power ma-
chine ZETA lit in perfect safety
a whirling nuclear fire that
flared for a fraction of a second
at temjieratures a thousand
times as hot as the surface of
the sun.
Reporters — more reporters
than the Harwell Atomic Energy
Research Establishment had
ever seen before at one time—
saw the flash in a mirror, dark-
ly. They groped for under-
standing and the words to .eon'
pass it.
The clock said it was 4:15
p.m, The calendar said it was
Jan. 23, 1958. These were but
partial facts.
To the reporters it was just
another day, yet also obviously
a new hour in a new age. Which
was confusing. Swimming in an
abstruse sea, they clung to the
few hard facts' they had grasped.
Within a year ZETA will far
surpass the temperature not on
the surface but at the way cen-
ter of the sun. The sun burns
there at 15,000,000 degrees cen-
tigrade. ZETA may go to 25,-
000,000
5:000,000 degrees.
A new British H -power ma-
chine is about to be built which
is to touch between 100,000,000
and 300,000,000 degrees.
The next step after that will
be to design a practical thermo-
nuclear power station. This may
be built in 20 years' time.
This station may directly 'pro-
duce electricity, cutting out al-
together the costly and cumber-
some heat exchanger and steam
turbine gear of today's A -power
stations.
The fuel will be sea water.
Supplies of coal may last 100
years, supplies of uranium 300,
but supplies of deuterium (from
sea water) will be available for
at least 1,000,000,000 years.
But the newspapermen want-
ed more. They, wanted to freeze
a moment of history, too.
Just what kind of a mark was
set on the night of Aug. $0, 1957,
between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m.
when neutrons were thrown out
of , deuterium gas heated by
Zeta to temperatures between
2,000,000 and 5,000,000 degrees
Centigrade?
Had H -power been produced
by Zeta? l'Oo, said the research-
ers, no power at all, Ii or non
H. .
What had been done? Let's
have the facts, said the 'news-
men, Let's pin it down, The
natural scientists on the plat-
form of Cockcroft Hall—includ-
ing Sir John Cockcroft himself,
who 25 years ago discovered
atomic .fusion — smiled and
sighed and tried again.
Well, asked the reporters one
after other, phrasing, it first this
way and . then that, was it the
first time a controlled thermo-
nuclear reaction had been ob-
tained in a laboratory?
Well, no, not exactly, said the
natural scientists, They would
not claim even that. They were
not sure yet,
Sir John said he was 90 per
cent certain. But no man :work-
in on Zeta would, on the record,
go as far as that.
Problem Remains
"Well, if none of your re-
searchers will say they have
done it, Sir -John," one corre-
• spondent asked plaintively,
"will your press officer perhaps
say it?"
Tension dissolved in a great
pulse of H -laughter.
But the problem remained.
What then was the "remarkable
British scientific adhlevement?"
to use Sir John Cockcroft's own
description.
After all, there are other ma-
chines, as we now have learned,
in Britain and in the United
States which have produced
-temperatures of 4,000,000, 5,000,-
000, and 8,000,000,0 degrees and
may also have produced a fu-
sion reaction, writes John Allen
May in The Christian Science
Monitor.
"Look," at last said the head
of the Zeta program, Dr. Peter
Clive Thonemann, He has a
deep, confident, patient, and
amused Australian voice. "Look,
he said, "this question, have
we 'produced a controled 22 -
power reaction? It's really irre-
levant.
"We have held a ring of gas
inside a metal tube—held it -
there at these 'vast tempera-
tures without it melting its con-
tainer—held it for relatively
long periods. That is our success.
"We know how to do it. That
is our breakthrough. When we
get up to higher temperatures,
as we will, we are boun4 to get
a thermonuclear reaction."
ZETA'S particular value
seems to be in its scale. It is
easier in a big machine to keep
a ring of star -fire flaring for
useful periods. And ZETA is by
far the biggest piece of experi-
mental H -power hardware in
the world.
It weighs about 150 tons. It
stands in its shelter looking like
the engines of a ship, a great
thick circular metal tube
threaded horizontally through
two upright circular electrical
j,'ansformers. The diameter of
the tube is one meter. The
diameter of the circle it makes
is three meters. (The pore of
the tube of the Los Alamos
"perhapsatron" is tivo inches.)
Inside that tube the heat of
the sun,is reproduced in flashes
of a few, thousandths of a second
every ten seconds. The flash is
a whirling electric circle of gas
and of fired and fusing atoms,
30 .centimeters thick, kept in
place and away from the walls
of the tube by the invisible
checkreins and guiding rods of
various magnetic fields.
The next stage is to keep
these short, rapid pulses going
for a full second and to get them
to a hundred million degrees.
"It requires the design of
electrical engineering equip-
ment which no one has yet
even envisaged," Dr. Thonemann
STICKING TOGETHER - Having a high ball ,in•West Berlin, the Bragazzi brothers bounce around
on their pogo sticks, decorated with cartoon characters. The Italian clowns were an act in
the once -traditional "Men, Beasts and Sensations" circus show resumed for the first time in
15 years at the rebuilt Deutschlandhalle.

How Can I?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I avoid removing
the gilt when washing gilt china?
A. By not using too much
soap, as soap will eventually re-
move the gilt.
Q. How can I use less sugar
for sweetening any sour fruit
when stewing?
A. By adding a half a teaspoon-
ful of baking soda when the
cooking Is nearly finished.
Q. How can 1 keep parsley
during the winter months?
A. If a good-sized flower pot
is kept filled with growing
parsley in the kitchen during
the winter months, it will always
be ready and convenient for
seasoning and garnishing.
Q. How can I whiten and puri-
fy sponges?
A, Soak in milk, then rinse
thoroughly in warm water with
a little carbolic acM.
Q. Row can 1[ remove oil stains
from leather?
A. By dabbing the spots care-
fully with spirits of sal ammo-
niac. After allowing it to remain
awhile, wash with clean water.
If necessary, repeat the,treat-
aRant, but be careful not to injure
*e calor of the leather.
Immoral Jeans
Girls wearing jeans in the
streets of Indonesia recently had
a shock. Police and troops sud-
denly swooped on them, rounded
them up and told them that
trousers for women were "im-
moral."
The iklwildered girls were
taken to cells at police stations,
"debagged" and then locked in
until their parents arrived with
"decent" dress for them.
Why, did the police ban jeans?
"Because they give the wearers a
devil-may-care feeling which is '
likely to lead to immorality and
crime," say the police. And when
an American psychologist who
was touring Indonesia at the
time was asked his opinion, ae
replied: "The police are right.
A girl in jeans loses the se:f-
respect she possesses in a skirt."
Counties thousands of women
and girls who regularly wear
jeans will laugh at the ban..
Sales of jeans have been booming
for several years. One British
firm is turning out 50,000 pairs
a week. Said a London store
buyer: "They are "figure -defin-
ing and much better than sloppy
slacks for girls. Tight jeans have
zip and flair."
Researchers show that when-
ever women have donned troy
sers of any kind all down the
ages, some critics have raised
their hands in horror and cried:
"How shocking!" — or words to
that effect. It was the women of
ancient Persia who first aped
men's' fashions by wearing
tseuser-style clothes.
English statistics show that the
most dangerous age for riding
bicycles is between 11 and 14.
Girls have only one-quarter as
many accidents as boys.
