The Seaforth News, 1953-06-25, Page 3Dizzy Liked Pe cock Fancy Waistcoats Like so many people who are not wholly indigenous, Disraeli was founder of England and the English way of life than were: the natives of the island. His letters display a keen appreei- •+tion of the scenery and the great country -houses, though the av- erage Englishman may have felt that his estimates were expressed too ornately. "Good -.bye, my dear Lord," he once said after a visit to Lord Shaftesbury, "you have given me the privilege of seeing bne of the most impressive of alt spectacles: a great English noble- man living in patriarchal state in his own hereditary halls," , . • Disraeli's home life was almost restricted to Hughenden.. • . One Asiatic touch was provided by the peecoeks on the terrace. "My dear lady, you cannot have terraces without peacocks," said Dizzy to a guest; and certainly he could not. Perhaps the only other hint of the East came from the host himself, whose clothes were not those of a typical Brit- ish squire. The fancy waistcoats that had been abandoned in Lon- don reappeared in the country, looking even more remarkable by contrast with a black velve- teen jacket and a Tyrolese hat, A rumor reached his friend Beresford in December, 1850 that he was growing a fierce pair of moustaches.

"A forest is like an ocean, monotonous only to the ignorant. It is a life ' f ceaseless va- riety." He loved his trees and was constantly planting new ones, es- pecially cedars, firs and pines: "I have a passion for books and. trees. 1 like to look at then.

Fitted sheets, top and bottom; lightweight blankets In gay plane and pastels for summer, anti lilted blankets are some of the many bonuses for the homemaker. Newest of these is a bed -covering bedspeead developed by a firm of famous blanket makers, it's a handsome bedspread on one side and e fleecy, brush -nap blanket on the other. This eliminates the need for both a blanket and spread. This cuts down the entire bed -making operation too, and coupled with fitted sheets, practically reduces the whole matter to a flip of the wrist, It keeps the bedrooms looking neat and pares expenses too. Furthermore, you can choose this blanket -spread In any one of contrasting decorator colors and in twin or double sizes. You ran treat it to a hand -laundering or pop it into your machine since it's guaranteed against shrinkage and is color fast. Sides of this blanket -spread are handsomely fringed, The top and foot have luxurious eight -inch binding which matte it a pleasure to own. • This housewife is leaking up a bed with a new eomltinatien--A blanket -bedspread, woven as a single fabric.

Slave Trade Is Still Booing A young girl, scarcely in het teens, steps fearfully on to the auction block. While she stands motionless, only her eyes betray- ing her fear and apprehension, the prospective buyers—shrewd, dusky -complexioned, hawk-eyed men—mill around her. Most of these buyers are put' - chasing the dusky damsels (sel- dom more than thirteen or four- - teen years of age) for resale, at a handsome profit, to distant clients. It is all reminiscent of a savage, sordid scene from the Middle Ages, before the tawdry traffic in human bodies was condemned and outlawed by the civilized world. Yet it still takes place to -day. When the auctions are over the carefully guarded human cargo is smuggled north to the many rich markets on the southern shores of the Mediterranean and the Le- vant. If the market in these areas happens to be at a low ebb at the time, then they may be sold as servants in middle-class homes. Missionaries' Difficult Task The latter method is becoming an increasingly common practice in some quarters. Inflation is not a condition peculiar to Occidental cotntrie's. The rising cost of liv- ing has hit many previously wealthy men in the areas which - provide the best market for this t o r r i b 1 e traffic. Consequently many can no longer afford the • considerable expense involved in the maintenance of a harem with a bevy of lovely but idle girls. So a houseful of pretty servants is often the highly satisfactory an- swer. This bartering of young natives is not confined to the more ob- scure and primitive areas of the country. Some time ago a scandal blew up in Brpezaville, the capital of French Equatorial Africa, on account of the open buying and selling of human merchandise, while in Tanganyika the brazen auctioning of young natives has become so widespread that mise CROSSWORD V. prone, rilaher ,51,in ala. w g 10 '4hr_lte( P L ZZ .; ,' 11 AFib„ r 1'1 re 17. fail- .Neel e,l fruit ACli(14S 2 One shun -41 11 1 tells I Mournful f 'far down Rcnm 4.

A United Press report some tin'ie ago said: "Missionaries have begun a slow but steady battle in the jungles of Central Africa against the selling of young girls into slavery and harems." The (Catholic 1 News Agency, Fides. reported in a despatch from .Kitega that missionaries have re- established a mission on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, aban- doned in 1881 when two priests and a helper were massacred ley natives. The report said: "It is the hope of the missionaries that their presence will hasten the day when the, scandalous practice of selling young Barundis, a prac. tide that still exists on a large scale, will nine to an end." But is hi highly probable that it will be many years before this disgraceful and degrading trade in human flesh is finally and com- pletely eradicted.

What Goes On In The Milky Way The Milky Way, one of the most striking sights in the hea- vsns on a clear night, is in for a very thorough examination by astronomers during the next few months. A giant telescope has been erected near Bloemfontein, in South Africa, where conditions are ideal for studying this stu- pendous galaxy of stars. Observations end mathematic- al calculations are to be made -over a period of years, and it is • hoped that many of the mysteries of starland will be solved, - More than any other celestial object, the Milky Way has effect- ed Man with a sense of mystery and unknown destiny. To the American Indians it was the "path of souls." In ancient myth- ology it was the highway of the gods to Olympus. Its very name commemorates an ancient legend that Juno, when suckling Mercury, scatter- ed Milk across the skies. 13ut this fegling of deep asso-- dation With the stars, and 'fie simple affection for them which we find in Chaucer and other medieval poets, have been de- stroyed for us by astronomers who have measured their vast distances. These astronomers tell us that there are some stars in the Milky Way whose light takes not hun- dreds, nor thousands of years to reach us, but hundreds of thou- sands. Twelve years ago a new type of star cloud was discovered in the Milky Way, consisting of an immense "crowd" of stars, 5,000 of Which have been counted so far. The light front this star cloud takes 300,000- years to reach us, which means it is 18,000,000 billion miles aweiy. NO- CROWDING Gazing at the Milky Way on a clear • night, about one million stars are visible 'to the naked eye. A 100 -inch telescope, how- ever, will reveal about 1,500 mil- lion, and there are many more, too numberless and too remote for any instrument to count. One might think this would cause overcrowding. But as one astronomer has remarked: "Set three wasps flying over Europe, end its skies would be more crowded with weeps than Lite Milltw Way is with stats' • LOST IN SPACE Sir James Jeans describes the Milky Way as the rim of a great ('cnttal hub.

In fact the keyword of the letter is, "Rejoice" The spirit of triumph in spite of grevious circumstances still persists in the world. Two years ago Bob Pierce went to speak in a church in South Korea at 0 a.m. It was below zero. The tin • heated building was crowded -with these suffering people seat- ed on the floor. Bob read the chapter which contains today's lesson. "I would ye should -un- derstand, brethren, t hat they things which happened unto me have fallen 000.t rather unto tit., furtherance of the gospel. -1e nothing terrified by your adver- saries: which is to theta an evi- dent token of perdition, but i.' you of salvation, and that :'f God," When he finished, the native pastor further emphas, .• ed upon the people. the lessor, lr" joy in spite of suffering.
