"In the past few years, agriculture has taken a more leading part in the exhibition, and our exhibits have grown in the number of displays, the attention paid them by the public and the recogni- tion that numerous agricultural groups have given to the signifi- cance of showing and winning here." * * r - For the second time in three years, the prize money will be increased, particularly in breeds and groups which could be de- scribed as working or service types. In addition, assistance is being given the exhibitors to better present their entries. * * * For instance, cattle exhibitors will be offered facilities this year to have special display cards before animals to which they wish to direct special at- tention. This will give the ex- hibitors a better chance to draw attention to the wares which they present not only for pub- lic scrutiny but for other breed- ers and dealers who may be in- terested in examining animals on display. * * * New metal signs will be vis- ible this year over the exhibi- tors' entries more attractive than Mese used in the past and more readily noticeable.

The stands, in the form of an inverted V, will have shelves in rising tiers so that rearmost products will still be clearly seen over the displays ranged along the bottom and middle rows. * 4, * Comfort and convenience of a first-rate hotel or club are the first impressions of a visitor to the new cattlemen's dormitory at the Exhibition which will be available this year for the ex- hibitors and attendants of the livestock show. * * * Started last year but not com- pleted in time for use by the several hundred men who find it necessary to remain near their valuable charges, the- new build- ing provides excellent accom- modation for upwards of 500 per- sons, Of fireproof construction, it is divided into comfortable rooms where up to ten men can share their quarters. An atten- dant will register all guests, and each will have a key to the room in which he is quartered. * * * On each floor there is a lounge room, with comfortable chairs and tables for reading matter. Each floor also has ample toilet facilities and shower rooms. And throughout the building there is space and facilities for prepara- tion of light meals. * * * Objective of the project was to make accommodation available for the men who cannot leave their animals long enough to hunt quarters in the nearby sec- tion of the city which is invari- ably crowded at that time of year. Furthermore, many of the attendants are unable to afford hotel accommodation, even if they could spend the time going to and returning from the down- town area. It is expected that the new dormitory will find high favor, for these reasons, among the men who labor over the prize cattle to make the exhibit more attractive to the thousands of city -dwellers who visit it every year. ilogs as Blankets In Australia Annabel was old. Years of stout-hearted service had left signs, outwardly at least, that the only solace left to her was to dream in peace of her for- mer active life. She was dreaming when Stuart Gore found her, an old car of 1929 vintage -with 100,000 plus miles on the speedo's bat- tered attered dial, lying forlorn and derelict on a car lot in West- ern Australia, But beneath the faded exter- ior was a stout heart. Gore bought the car for a song, fit- ted a set of second-hand tyres and a homemade wooden body, and in this jalopy he and his wife Jan made their way through little-known colmtry from Perth, Western Australia, to Darwin, and back. The Gores, professional pho- tographers, set off on their tra- vels with- films and a projector to entertain people in the small settlements and so earned keep for themselves, and the car. A light-hearted and high- spirited account of their adven- turous journey is related in "Overlanding With ' Annabel'," The author, Stuart Gore, recalls an amusing incident when teamwork tripped up and "slip- ped a disc.

THERE GOES RADIATION - A midget button -hole geiger counter is the latest development in this atomic age. Inventor R. A. Gould sports one, above, on his lapel. Gould says that the "atom -age boutonniere," as well as the one he holds in hand, could be made by any schoolboy at a cost of not much more than two dollars, Both devices were displayed at the an- nual exhibition of the Physical Society in the Royal Horticultural Hall in London. responsible for the musical ac- companiment to the films, put on the wrong record in the mid- dle of a solemn scene showing a choir chanting in the chapel of an Austrian monastery. Into this sepulchral background the loudspeaker blared forth a raucous rendering of "There was I - waiting at the church -• waiting at the church. " The team modestly admit that the evening's success may not have been due to the excellence of the films! Naturally enough they fre- quently made contact with the roving Australian aboriginal, and learned that the most pre- cious possessions of these simple tribesmen are dogs. They are particularly useful on cold nights - in place of blankets, The number of "blankets" util- ized varies according to the de- gree of coldness. Some idea of the heating value of these dogs can be determined by the greet- ing a native gave Gore after a biting night: "Plenty cold last night -+three dog night." The overlanders paid a visit to the leprosarium, a native leper settlement nine miles from Derby, to make some pic- tures. It was here that they listened to what - is probably the most unique orchestra in the world, the native orchestra of the leprosarium - thirty in- strumentalists playing m the bush 1,000 miles from nowhere. The players came from the most primitive , race in exist- ence, aborgines unable to read or write, let alone read music, but whose ears can co-ordinate the notes and rhythm of- white man's music. They started with a minuet by Chopin and, as proof of their versatility, followed with class- ics, jazz and folk music. The Reverend Mother Alphonsus of the leprosarium hospital had reason to be proud of her musi- cians for it was -she who, with unflagging energy and perse- verance, had taught her pupils to memorize music. At Alice Springs the over - lenders bit their first railway in five months of travel. Rather than risk an expensive break- down while traversing the 800 - odd miles of desert to Adelaide, the Gores decided - to send An- nabel • by rail; they, themselves, tarveliing on the same train - the Afghan Express. This unorthodox: journey, too, had its amusing s:da On the second day 0211 the t.'ain stop- ped. The Gores were puzzled, for, the only things in sight were the desolate wastes of sand and a single little wooden house. As soon as the express braked to a halt, engine -driver, fire- man, guard and passengers tumbled off and raced to the little wooden house. Gore and his wife followed, to find the spinsters grouped round a radio set placed on the veranda, The - author looked round at the strained faces of the group and wondered what national ealam- ity.had happened to account for the stopping of the express. Suddenly the radio crackled and the announcer spoke: "Good afternoon, listeners. It's a glorious day and there's a rec- ord crowd here at Flemington awaiting the event of Austral- ia's racing year - the Mel- bourne Cup!" S . ':001 LESS, N 11. Barclay Warren, B.A., S.D. Acts 26: 2-8 19.23 Ambassador in Bonds Memory Selection: I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and ala persuad- ed that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto hien against that day. 2 Timothy 1:12. If you want to gel the real measure of a man, observe him under fire. Paul, after being stoned and left for dead at Ly- stra, arose and went back to the city and to the others where he had been persecuted, en- couraging - the believers, On his next missionary journey he picked up Timothy at Lystra as a helper and later to become a pastor. Paul's behayiour at Ly- stra must have had a winning effect on Timothy. In jail at Philippi Paul the prisoner be- comes evangelist and leads the jailer and his family to a know- ledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. In today's lesson he is a prisoner before gover- nors and a king. But he has all the royal bearing of an ambas- sador. He is an ambassador in bonds for Jesus Christ. "As he reasoned of righteousness, tem- perance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee." Later he stood before the governor, Fes- tus, and King Agrippa and his wife, Bernice. He spoke with such conviction and power that Agrippa said, "Almost thou per- suadest me to be a Christian," But Paul was not satisfied with bringing people near the deci- sion. He said, "I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds." - There is no note of defeatism as Paul the prisoner make his defence. His faith is radiant. He is an ambassador. We need to read and reread the defenses of Paul. We need the voice of cer- tainly and conviction today. We need a faith worth suffering for, worth dying for. There are peo- ple in many lands around the world svho are proving that they possess such a faith. Do you posse: s such a faith? PERFECTIONIST Burleigh Grimes was pitching, Johnny Gooch was catching, and Bill Klem was umpiring. On a 3-2 pitch, Grimes thought Klem missed a call. "Where was it?" Grimes asked Gooch. Answer that question and you're out of the game," Klem threatened Gooch. "Tell me," repeated Grimes, "Where was it?" "Right over," said Gooch. "Get o11 the field," yelled Klem. "What for?" asked Gooch, "All I did was answer a question. What are you chasing me for?" "For being such a lousy um- pire," roared Items. ir Tw; is°;she ity e This is the season when many men are anxiously scanning the sky for the day when they will don a coolc's white bonnet and, armed with along fork, presideoverthe charcoal grill in their backyards, Those who do not own a grill are being lured by a vast assortment of outdoor implements of all sizes and descriptions displayed in many stores throughout the country. Charcoal -broiled meats have become the fashion. The Turkish people discovered, centuries ago, that meat, chicken or fish broiled over charcoal was su- perlative in taste. No need to rush out and buy an expensive equip- ment, though. In every Turkish home the mangal occupies an hon- ored position in the kitchen the year round, and charcoal is stacked in the cellar ready to be used. Those work -a -day sac revisals (sheet -iron braziers) cost very lit- tle and even the poorest family can afford one they make up in utility what they lake in glamour. It is an art to light a mangal and keep It going all day long with a minimum amount of coal. While the elaborate and handsome grille of today ase up a seek of char- coal to broil one or two steaks, most of it being wasted in the great outdoors, the mangal will keep going all day long on less than halt that amount. Ah, but there is a secret to it. I do not know whether I should divulge it, considering the thriving business the coal and bri- quete dealers will do this year. It Is a wise mother who Jest(lle In her daughters, at an early age, the secrets of lighting a good fire. In the old days, especially, the mangal was not only used for cook- ing it heated the water and helped heat the house as well. It was the kingpin of the poorer households . in Turkey. Illenl was the uncrown- ed queen of our mangal and gave me my first lessons Although I did not have to get up early in the morning to start the fire, as many girls had to do, I was drawn ir- resistibly to the brazier and loved Me glow that emanated from it. 1 used to tease our Eleni for days. "Let me light the mangal, Mani, I have watched you and know I can do It." "You think it Is that easy," she would scoff. I found out later, alas, that her scorn was not misplaced. Rinally I broke down her resistance. "The first thing to learn Is to pick out the - right assortment of coals and then to arrange these properly in layers. Come with me to the cellar and I will show you." So down we went the many steps to our cool immaculate cellar where the charcoal sacks were lined up in one corner. Not a speck of dust was visible for our Eleni, like my moth- er, was extremely neat. One by one Eleni picked the coals, the smooth smell pieces to start the fire quick- ly, a little coal dust for a quick flame, and then the large Pieces to keep the fire going at a slow but even pace. "Lochs at this pier('," 1'lieui held it out for me, "you can see the bark petrified on it. Beware of that bark It smokes dreadfully never put It on the fire indoors. I can use these pieces rap with Bare so they are not wasted, but I would advise you to leave them alone now." 'Up again the many steps with our bucket filled•to the brim. ;hent took the brazier outdoors, "Never start the fire indoors, especially in winter when all the doors and win- dows are closed," I was told. That, it seems, was the first and most essential lesson I had to learn our Eleni stressed it repeatedly. When all the needed implements were within her reach, she went to work. She removed some of the ashes, and smoothed out the remainder. She then buried the large pieces, over these she poured the coal dust and finally the choice pieces on top. "0f course, there are some peo- ple who pour half a gallon of kero- sene on the coals and have a roar ing fire in no time. It usually burns up quickly and they have to pour on more. Don't y0u ever use kero- sene to start your fire. Then there are the impatient and wasteful pee - pie who use a whole bunch of china (fat wood) and still accomplish nothing. The real artist uses only one piece, has patience and skill, and never fails. Just insert the ehira in the proper place, give the flame some air, never smother it by adding new coal too soon and you will have a good fire ping." Fleur, meanwhile, was ready. She lit a match, held it close to the ehira, and it started burning. How carefully she nursed the flame; when the coals started to crackle and take, she laid a small stove- pipe over the heap, so that it would draw better. After several lessons, I learned how to stack the mazigal, when to add new pieces, how to cover the embers with ashes to keep the fire from being waste(;, and at night to bury two or three pieces in the hot embers and cover them well so that in the morning there would be fire enough to start the mangal again. All that took time and much talk from Eleni. Oh, it was an art all right and I must confess that I failed miserably at my first at- tempt. Eleni said I was too im- patient, all clumsy fingers and no head, She '(vas right, Another advantage our mangal has over the modern grill comes to mind here. We in Turkey would not stream of wasting a full. hot brazier Just to broil a hunk of meat. Our maltgll1 is versatile, it keeps going all day. Are we to have shish kebab (r ;skarn koftesL (lamb patties) or° sward -fish for dinner? A11 the vegetables and the pilaf are cooked en the mango and ready to serve before we broil our piece de reslstance.A vigorous poke or two with the mugs will revive the slumbering embers and in no time we have a real hot fire suit- able for broiling.
