John To Advertise } SQMO •Weeks ago, as many of You Will remember, John Gould's wife lost a prized old three -tine fork, Me VIM about this loss in his 'widely -read column in The Christian Science Monitor, Per. WS you. were wondering if there was any response. Well, hero's what happened -- .up to now! * For some weeks I've wondered how to comznence this report, and I suppose the best way is to stop wondering and begin. It has to do with three -tined forks, and if anybody was ever thrust into Orbit by his own firecracker, 'twas I. May I underline, first of all, that there really was a three tined steel kitchen fork; that my helpmate did lose it; that she did say she couldn't keep house without it; and that she did be- seech me to inquire in the public print where one might apply to get another. Thus a "Dispatch" on the subject appeared, and we • hadn't the vaguest notion of what we were starting. The truth is that there has not been such a spate of response since your editor and I first cook,. ed up the idea of these Dispatches —and to me this is a puzzling thing. Of all the variant tomes we've touched on, pertaining gen- erally to human affairs, the last, I'd have picked for an all-out winner would be the three -tined fork. And it is embarrassing that there are so many of you, but only one of nie. When the forks came by dozens and the letters by scores, there were a couple of days of amazement, and then the throwing of hands in the air. To all joining in the collective plan- ning, preparation, making and distributing of a great family journal, such response is a joy. You don't always realize how far the candle beams, until one day some such item clicks. But I'm Stumped at finding a way to ade- quately acknowledge such an offfpouring. Even as I contemplated the task, Daylight Saving came in, and I lost an hour. Then Presi- dent Eisenhower proposed up- ping the letter stampl,to a nickel, which seemed a personal affront! And the mail showed no sign of letting up, or the forks of ceas- ing to come. Indeed, before the first letters could be opened, noted, and appreciated, there al- ready had arrived one from a gentleman who said he had sent a fork, and as I hadn't acknow- ledged it, perhaps it had been lost and he should put a tracer on it! (I wrote him at once, of course.) There aren't many places we . haven't heard frorn—Boston, the Middle West, the South, the Pa- cific Coast, Canada, England (a couple of forks received from here were over 300 years old). There has even been time to hear from Australia. But quite apart from the edi- torial satisfaction that comes from finding such a plural topic, my "pink ap'n" is a -sing in the kitchen, a fork in each hand and another Carmen -like atwixt her teeth, and she is as happy as a clam at high tide, as gay as a banana split, and no task is too arduous. She can flip doughnuts again, get pickles from the brine, and the scrambled eggs are sindoth as a smelt. There were two -three ladies wrote in and said goodness, they'd lost their forks, too, and if perchance we got an over- supply, would we share? We shared, sending to each the name of the original donor so thank- you's could be made. She thinks I should shape up some pine boards, long panels to go above the cupboards in the kitchen, wifere she can attach the forks in a permanent exhibit, w:7"141MINAMOVAPfet • s-S,..s stSe RHUBARB SASS—All the elements of a classic rhubarb are pictured, above, in San Francisco. Guess who won? Umpire Frank Dusc011, naturally. Giants' Wes Westrum (3) found him- self out of the game after protesting a disputed play, and manager Bill Rigney waved his hands in vain. She has each laid out with a tag • on it, telling who sent it, However, Postmaster General Summerfield was careless, and a few packages came through rim - wracked beyond identification. There were also several anony- mous arrivals. Some came „with ribbons tied on; many had notes giving family histories. • Although all were essentially the same kind of fork, and satis- fied the definitions, there were many styles, Some had bone handles, some ivory, some wood —and a few had homemade han- dles showing ancient repair. Most showea. long years of use, but a few were brand new—indicating they may still be had in stores if you know where to look. And also, as I said, that money is no, object when the lady of the house is in want. Besides all the forks that came, dozens of letters said, "If you don't receive one, let me know and I have one rn send." The essence of the whole ex- perience, perhaps, is found in the. predominance of letters which recalled such forks in the hands of grandmothers, aunts, smooth- ly doing household chores—happy memories hitherto neglected. Some of these letters showed a refrain . . wonder whatever be- came of that fork? So, it is gratifying to have touched on a subject which pleased., so many, and sparked so many a tangible response. But that is "shop talk," and relative- ly unimportant, The important thing is the friendliness, neigh- borliness, kindness and concern. It is as if we had a fraternity, with the tines standing for ab- stractions in triple array. The whole thing has left us deeply touched and humble, and feeling very rich amongst a broad membership. . When the panels are in place, and the fork 'collection" becomes a dominant theme in our kitchen (the room we live in!) it shOuld be pretty hard to convince us that an in- dividual is ever an island. If Ex- calibur and Durandal and things like that have become legendary symbols of morality, how much more potent to us will be the eso- teric values of the three -tined fork! Possibly we can, sooner or later, send off our individual thanks, Certainly we plan to! Meantime, because we thought you'd like to know, we have in- sinuated this Dispatch. We cer- tainly hope everybody is as hap- py as We arel.--7By John Gould in • The Christian Science Monitor. .sssiS• Sssr"lls-lss Alts**1.,s„...aosi%94.-sgwae llssiss; 'sss: SKY STATIONS —• A new approach to creating a stratosphere station has been proposed.

They Dueled With Ten -Ton Trucks The lone girl woke in her sleep- ing- bag in a glade near Anchor- age, Alaska, and in the early morning light saw . , four vast furry brown legs and feet with great long curved °lain. The huge bear had come out of the trees and was some twelve feet way, moving his great blunt head from side to side. He seem- ed as large as a horse, shifting his weight gently from one front paw to the other. Suddenly he reared up'to peer at her over entervening twigs. She moved her head,to keep him in view, and the movement may • have startled him, for he drop- ped back, turned round and padded silently away. Adventurous Lorna Whishaw, • a British Columbia housewife, doesn't say she was scared, merely that . . "I wanted to leap up and yell, to let the world • know I had seen a, bear, a great Alaskan brownie." She had hitch -hiked 2,670 miles from her home on Lake Kootenay. Her geologist husband, committed to a threemonth's expedition, had urged her to go off somewhere on her own, too. So she'd left house and children in the charge of a neighbour and set out blithely with a pack and thirty-six dollars to hike and get lifts up the Trans -Canada and Alaska Highways. The first truck driver who stopped for her warned her "Highways ain't no place for dames on the loose," and told her Of a cousin's girl who'd gone off like that and been murdered. "Never go along with any truck-. er veto asks you," he added. "Type you need is the guy who don't want to take you; then you'll be okay." One truck driver — Jack Martin — deaf after an air crash when he was a pilot in the Far East, but the best driver: on the road — exclaimed: "Oh, the luck!" on seeing another ten -ton truck on the road ahead signal- ling madly. "Now you'll meet my buddy. You just wait, you'll really see something." The next few minutes, Mrs. Whishaw says in "As Ear As You'll Take Me" were the most terrifying of her life. Jack paus- ed on a hilltop; the other truck; on an opposite hilltop, did like- wise. Then, with a blaze of signals, like joustling knights, they roar- ed down towards each other, • head on, at ever-increasing speed — Jack yelling like a maniac, pulling on the siren, jumping up and down on his seat. She grab- bed at the door to jump for her life: "Sit, you fool!" he screech- ed, seizing her by the hair. With roaring, blinding death only a few feet from them the other truck leapt across the high- way. Jack, with a yell of tri- umph, swerved left and they flashed past each other on their respective rights. A wild jolting kept Jack's truck from the left-hand gutter and brought it to a halt on his own side of the road, Both driv- ers leapt out and ran to greet each other. "What's the idea?" she gasped, shivering and sweating, When they were again on their way, "The idea is to cross and pass on the right, Whoever chickens (funks) crosses first, He did, you see? Boy, he thought he'd had "Suppose he'd decided not to chicken, then what?" "Then .he would have had it." "They always clone it, for fun, Jack added When she said, "One of these days . ." he retorted, "So *hat, it's an honourable death, ain't it?"

Mrs. Whishaw dropped off in the Yukon on the way back to go otter -trapping and wild sheep hunting in the mountains with a game warden. At Car' max, near Dawson City, she met Mrs. Jane Fletcher, now nearly eighty, who'd been dance -hall girl "Rosie Murphy" in Dawson in the gold -rush days and still hoarded away several thousand dollars' worth of jewels and valuables in a cigar box. Near Kluane lake Mrs. Whi- shaw was shown an abandoned homestead/which looked as if it had been rifled by bears, for everything was overturned. "The place belonged to a man called Brown," she was told. "He had a wonderful wife, a pure Eskimo. She had his children and slaved for him for forty years, never saying much and taking all the miserable treat- ment he handed out. "One clay, when the family were all grown up and left home, she waited for him oppo- site the front door. When •he came in, she shot him dead with his gun. Then she took the bus to Whitehorse and gave herself up to the Mounties. She was tried for first-degree murder and acquitted." Nearing home, Mrs. Whishaw told her last trucker: "Thank you, Mitch, Thank you and all the drivers, Thank you for be- ing so good to me. Thank you for all you have taught me." How Can 1?
