Wintry Blast Once More
Isolates Community
ALL MEANS OF TRANSPORTA-
TION CUT OFF
It may be Spring, but the only in-
dication one can fin I to verify such a
statement is a glance at the calendar.
This \\'ednesday 1)111• entire commun-
ity is again cum; letely isolated by
what many ( lai:n to be the worst
storm of the sea•1111. .111 roads are
blocked, rail transportation is also cut
off.
Following an :111 -day rpm 011 \f0tl-
(lay, the w"cathcr turned cool during
Aiumhty night, and , n 'I'ucs,iay morn-
ing citizens were startled, amaetl, and
disgusted, as they gazed from their
inflows, Into a solid wall of blowing
snow. A gale estimated at 50 utiles
per hour continued throughout the
day, and the snow piled up in huge
drifts, \\'ednesday dawned little bet-
ter, althou:;h the wind had dropped
some, The highe-t wind velocity 011
Tuesday was rec. riled at 78 miles per
hour. That, of c nese, was au extra

50 miles.
Provincial snow plowing equipment
is reported in a 'lad tray, much of it
being tied up for repairs after the re-
cent heavy storm. \Ir, George Rad -

It is also hoped that this is the last

Blyth Band Members Heard
In Clinton Radio Show
Several members of the Blyth ',ions
Band were featured prominently in
the Clinton Legion show, staged front
the toren hall, and heard over the air
waves last Friday night.
Prominent among the performers
Vere A. C. Robinson, London, Blyth
bandmaster, alfsscs Lois Doherty, Ir-
ma Wallace, and Marjorie and Irma
\Vatt, \I r. R0I lIl•011 contributed two
readings, and the girls were called on
for several instrumentals. '\liss Mar-
jorie Doherty and Miss Shirley Phillips
accompanied at the piano.
The Clinton Legion !Branch raised
upwards to ;1,010.00 for their efforts.
No School Wednesday
The Blyth Public School .was,
closed all- day Wednesday because of
the storm. The attendance on Tues-
day was small, and it was deemed ad-
visable to cl,"se the school until the
st: rnl abatted, and the roads were op-
ened up for It„ children.
It goes \\itliottt saying that the
Clinton Collegiate Sthool bus was can-
celled on 'Tuesday and Wednesday, and
it's return to regular schedule depends
entirely on the pr0.rres5 made opening
No, 4 highway from here to Clinton.
Rural mail ti1en were also enjoying a
forced holiday,
Late Snow Plow News
Latest snow plow news this
Wednesday evening came from Mr.
George Radford, whose plows have
been endeavouring all clay long to
snake some headway on No, 4 high-
way. Mr. Radford informed The
Standard that one of his plows was
working south from Blyth, and by
supper had proceeded about a utile
out. In communication with high-
way officials he had been inform-
ed that there was a plow working
north from Clinton, and a large
Deisel was expected to take over
the work from that dirccticn on
Thursday. According to Mr. Rad-
ford there was nothing working
between Blyth and \Vinghant. Al r.
Radford started north this Wed-
nesday morning, but turned his ef-
forts south, when he failed to get
any farther than the C.P.R. rail-
way tracks,
Word from the County Garage
at Auburn this \Vednesday night
was to the effect that the County
of I-furon plows had proceeded
about 2 miles each way out of Au-
burn on the Blyth to Godcrich
County road. Progress itt all cases
was very slow, and the going
heavy,

CIIRONICLES OF Canadian Art
GINGER FARM Marches On
By Gwendoline P. Clarke
Last Wednesday Bob and I
drove to Mallon and w e were just
in time to see the back of Barbara
Ann Scott's fur coat disappear
through the doorway of a Trans-
Canada plane en route to Ottawa.
It was a very nice coat!
\Vflat a difference a fete minutes
can make, "Jut five invites more"
and we would have seen Barbara
Ann just fine as there tvcre very
few people at the airport other
than the official send-off commit-
tee.
\1'e did so ‘want to get a close-
up view of her, particularly as w•e
\vanted to see if she were as natural
and unaffected as she appears in
the press picture; and reports —
and \which 1 think is her greatest
charm. But while v;e were disap-
pointed it just couldn't be helped.
—
\1'l' left hunts in lots of time—that,
t,
is for normal driving conditions.
But we found they wcrc anything
but! Really the roads were terrible.
In places the snowbanks were so
high it was more like driving
through a tunnel. Then there were
parts of the road that tvere flood-
ed and if neither of these condi-
tions e:o ted then the road was so
full of pot -holes it would have
made our buttes rattle had they
not been so well covered! Had we
driven fast enough to reach Mallon
on time I am sure the old Model
.\ would have disintegrated on the
n'ay.And we couldn't take a chance
on that - - not even to see the
worlds c' :aapion skater. Not these
clays we couldn't.
But we had a nice drive home as
we stuck to the highways, on the
theory that in this case the longest
way around (would he the short-
est w'ay )route. going over we
drove across country. Nlay I be
forgiven if I say—"And how!„
All the side roads we passed
were open but the ploughs must
have dont some awful shoving in
places. Our own lane is still block-
ed, up near the house. It wouldn't
be but for the fact th`It the snow
piled up higher than the snow
fence. Of course it could be dug
out but Partner always thinks the
snow gets away quicker during a
thaw if it has been left alone. And
by the way, we are really learning
the value of snow fencing. It not
only keeps the snow back but it
also prevents flooding. In a thaw
the water stays behind the snow -
bank and gets away underneath
it without any fuss or inconven-
ience.
* *
You know I can hardly believe
that spring is almost upon us. The
winter has seemed unbelievably
short. I was telling Partner the
other day that I would really en-
joy the \vinter if it were not for
the weather. And if there were a
few more hours in each day I
would be even better satisfied.
* **
Oh dear, the radio is just telling
us about the dreadful floods rag-
ing in England and Scotland right
now. And we know so well what
those floods can do and the rapid-
ity with which they can rise. i re-
number going to see the floods
about two miles from home when
I was about ten years old. While
I 'gazed in fascination at the
swollen waters of the Stour River,
flooding the lots -lying houses on
its banks, the streets behind me
were suddenly flooded too and my
way home vas cut off. 1 had to
wait until a temporary bridge was
erected. That would be quite an
adventure for me in those days.
* * *
You know I have often thought
of those houses and the people liv-
ing in them. The sante thing hap-
pened almost every spring. The
people knew' it and yet as soon as
the waters subsided they were back
in their horses again, cleaning tip
the mess and counting the cost.
What makes people act that way?
Is it indifference to danger or love
of taking a chance. Maybe we all
have a bit of the gambler's spirit
if we did but know it. One of the
commonest ways of tempting prov-
idence these days is trying to beat
one's gas supply. \Vhy? Do we
gain anything by it even suppos-
ing we win? And we are far more
likely to lose. And it certainly
costs more to have gas brought to
a stranded car than to btiy it at a
gas station. I know because I have
had it happen once. Like so many
other people I took a chance. I
knew my supply was low but for
sonic unexplainable reason i didn't
want to stop until I reached IIam-
ilton. And then, how stupid I felt!
* * *
And do you know what? I am
just about freezing because I took
a chance on not looking after the
furnace until I would be through
with this bit of typing.
Works Both Ways
The little moppet upon going to
bed always insisted that her bed-
room door remain open, "Is it be-
cause you want to let the light
to?" asked her mother. "No," came
the amazing response, "it's to let
Out the dark."
The oldest existing alt society in
Canada opened its T;,t't Annual
Exhibition of nom l c'-' ;,n 1 non-
members' tvorb: on `,lar.it 7th at
the .Art t Wiley of Toronto and
was attended by a r.'co! d crowd of
1-401) people. At the cud of this
month a representative collection
from the exhibition will begin a
tour of other cities in the Dominion.
The Ontario Society of Artists
has broken many a lance for the
arts and artists of this country
since its first exhibition In 1372.
The Royal Canadian Academy vas
organized at an O.S•A, meeting in
1970 and the development of a
National Gallery, Art Gallery of
Toronto and Ontario College of
Art is the result of tireli s effort of
the Society.
Catholicity to Style
The O.S..\..\nnual Exhibition is
NOT a numbers show (a fact that
is too often misinterpreted) but an
opportunity open to all painters
and sculptors in Canada to submit
their works along with members of
the society for selection by the
Selection and Hanging Committee.
A new jury is elected each year. It
is their responsibility not only to
select some 150 works from an
average of 500 works submitted but
to uphold the highest possible
standard in painting and sculpture
from the academic to the abstract.
It is both interesting and encour-
aging to note that over 50 per cent
of the work accepted and hung
each year is the work of non-mem-
bers.
Contribution to Art Libraries
A limited number of a very hand-
some and important catalogue com-
memorating this 75th Exhibition
is now available through The Ryer-
son Press, 290 Queen \Vest,
Toronto. (Thin cover -60c, Stiff
cover with spine -41.00) Besides
containing 1 S reproductions of the
contemporary work, the retrospect-
ive section of the exhibition from
1S72 is covered by the first com-
plete history and aims of the Soci-
ety by L. A. C. Panto, R.C.A,,
O.S.A.
Badminton was played in India
before it became popular in Eng-
land in the 19th century.

TEENTOWN TOPICS
By BARRY MURKAR
Ilave you ever found yoiurself
in hot water over an innocent
hook title? \Vas a book title ever
responsible for you being kicked
out of your girl friend's house?
Well, I'ut in trouble—plenty. \\'ith
Susie and her pop and it all goes
back to a book title.
Last night at Susie's, we were
sitting around shooting the guff,
with nothing else to do, and 1 hap-
pened to mention that someone had
left a copy of Betty MacDonald's
"The Egg and I" at our place.
This immediately brought forth
the bright idea of boiling some
eggs and painting thein for Easter.
It was my bright idea.
"You get the eggs out from the
bottom of the cupboard while I
look for my old box of paints,"
suggested Susie.
I found six eggs in a bowl, and
while Susie was rummaging around
in the hall closet, I put them in a
pan of water, After ten minutes
at boiling point, I figured they
were hard enough.
"We can give then( to the neigh-
bor's kids," offered Susie, return-
ing with a battered box of paints.
\Ve then (nixed several colors in
a cup of water and dipped the
eggs. After this we painted stripes
of yellow, green and red on thele,
set thein back in the bowel and put
then( away in the cupboard to
dry.
* * *
Everything was fine. \\'e talked
of the days when the kids used to
look for Easter bunnies and how
our parents would hide Easter
eggs and on Easter morning we
would Mutt all over the house for
then(,
"The kids next door will have a
great time when they find then(,"
said Susie, "they'll probably try
to cat shells and all."
Our conversation was interrupt-
ed by a voice from the kitchen:
"I'm hungry, where's my supper?"
"It's just pop," whispered Susie,
"he's late getting house tonight."
"For crying out loud, what's
happened to these eggs?" roared a
voice from the kitchen,
"Olt my gosh," yelped Susie,
"pop's on a diet of eggs, and we've
used then( all."
* * *
We hurried into the kitchen,
both quaking at the knees. Her
pop, flushed from anger, was
bending over the kitchen table, ex-
amining the colored eggs. Ile
looked up as we entered, and the
gleam in his eye made me quiver
inside.
"Whose—whose idea was this?"
he detnanded, "all I can cat Is eggs
and i coma hone hungry to find

amidst coughs and sputters.
"Barry thought it would be—".
"You," he cut in, "1 aright have
known. if you aren't stuck in the
driveway, you nerd a Jack to fix a
tire. Every time you cone around
here something happens."
"1-1 didn't know about the
dict," 1 gasper. "honestly we only
painted the eggs for something to
do, to put inthe trots."
* * *
Iter father sank into a chair,
muttering and stroking his fore-
head,
"Run next door and try to bor-
row two eggs," ordered Susie.
I ran next door, and to the next
and the next. Finally at the fourth
house, the lady let me have a can
of powdered eggs.
"Did you have any luck?" ask-
ed Susie, as 1 cants in out of
breath.
"There's four eggs in there," 1
replied, handing her the can.
She got a bowl and started to
take off the lid. I -ler father watched
closely. As the lid came off and
the powder started to come out, he
roared at me, "Another of your
smart ales tricks. Get out! get
out!"
Susie followed me to
She was mad too.
"That was stupid of you," she
said, "now 1'11 get it for letting you
go to get the eggs." No use trying
to explain, I thought.

On the way house, 1 thought of
the evening's events. Do other
guys get into trouble like 1 do, 1
wondered, Jcepers, I'm always in a
mess. I know what I'll do. 1,11
take up a dozen eggs tomorrow
night and that will fix me with her
pop.
AS I walked in the front door, 1
noticed a book lying on the table.
"The Egg and 1" was the title.
Browsing through it, I noted the
trouble the author had had with
chickens and eggs. On the cover
was a picture of the author. You
and your eggs, I grumbled and
trudged off to bed,

Australia is tightening security

Eggs sold in Canada are graded.
The highest grade Al eggs are the
finest quality obtainable. These are
not always available and are of
course high in price. tirade r\ eggs
are also of excellent quality. Both
these grades have firm jellylike
white which hold its shape. They
are therefore perfect for poaching
or frying as well as cooking in the

they always buy the best. Grading
of commercially cannetl fruit and
vegetables makes it better buying
in many cases to use the lower
grade. To have the nto-t suitable
product for the special purpose, and
at a low cost, is real economy,
Fancy Quality tanned fruits and
vegetables are as nearly perfect as
possible and therefore are to he
used where appearance is import-
ant. Company deserts or salads
are beautiful when fancy products
are used. For family use in regular
meals Choice Quality products are
very satisfactory as they are good

shrilled in vain, A feeble ray of
sunshine flickered across itis face as
someone shook hits by thc shoul-

"Hey, boss," Rocl.y was saying,
"it's almost nine o'clock. Your
beautiful girl 'ecretary will be here
any time now. I've got a pot of
Java perking."
AfcCalc began to dress as Rocky
headed for the inner sanctum. It
didn't take him long.
"Well," he said, between sips of
the hot black liquid, "let's have
your birds -eye or key hole view of
the goings on of last night."
"Nothing sensational to report,
boss, outside of a lot of nervous
running in and out till about one
a.m. I had a look-see at about
everyone but the dame called Vic-
toria, She'd gone otit someplace to
dinner when I got there and must
have slipped in without my lamping
her, if she ca ,e horse at all."
"No trouble with the servants?"
"I only saw the butler, \'cry su-
perior guy. 11c kept looking in the
dining roost tvhcre I was sitting
with an cyc on the door. I don't
know whether he thought 1 was
going to snitch some of the linger -
bowls or sample thc family bour-
bon. Anyhow, he kept popping up
at odd moment until around ten -
thirty. Say, what a parade of junk
they've accumulated."
"Yeah. What (1:1 you think of the
set-up? In general, I mean. Atnto-
phere—that kind of thing,"
"I may be tvrong, but outside of
the little old lady, they're a bunch
of screwballs, She's okay. A little
jumpy, but for that matter, the
whole caboodle ain't any idea of
what I've been led to think of as
calm, quiet, unruffled bluebloods.
They're all as jittery as a hang-
over."
"Definitely'."
"Well, here's five to your one
that there's something cooking
that's going to smell to heaven."
"You've no taker in ntc." \lcCalc
grinned and lit a cigarette

"Smart, as usual, The old dame
acts as though she was walking
through a bad drags but doesn't
dare wake up."
"Very aptly put."
"She meets Ince last night, shows
me around, sort of impersonal -like.
So far as she vas concerned, 1
might have been the plumber's
helper come to repair a leak. Very
cool and calm, but burning up with
something inside her. Acts all the
time as if she's seared stupid but
won't admit it if it kills her,"
Rocky poured himself a second
cup of coffee and took a deep
breath before he continued.
"Shc went to her room early—
about nine, I didn't sec her after
that. Veronica, the bride aid joy,"
he looked at McCalc to see whether
he was amused by the play on
words, "of the old lady—she is that,

at Rocky as he said, "Well, boy,

"I. P. Nlarquand has done hits to

them? So they couldn't be wrong.
Veronica has tossed hint overboard,
but would he say a word about i1?
Would he ride up in his Stanley
Steamer and rush her off to the
nearest Justice of the Peace before
she stakes a fool o herself? No

"Ile d11 come to sec her."

"Oh, yes, Had a short confab

a chance to eavesdrop, of course,
but I did see them when they said
goodnight at the door. IIe had the

when he kissed her good-hy."
"He kissed her:"
"Don't let it throw you. It was
just the old I'll -be -a -sister -to -you

New Method Used
to Harvest Honey
A streamlined technique for har-
vesting honey front Northern Man-
itoba's wild flowers is being plan-
ned by a farmer in the small Sas-
katchewan town of Tisdale, 70
miles west of the Manitoba -Sas-
katchewan border.
The farmer, 13. Baines, last year
shipped more than 50,000 pounds of
Money front his mobile apiaries.
Itis technique is described as
being simple. In the spring he
spots three or four hives in iso-
lated areas, surrounding them with
electrically charged fences to dis-
courage roaming bears. In the fall
lie garners the honey and prepares
the hives for the winter.
Northern flowers, Mr. Baines
says, appear to enable bees to pro-
(Itice a more concentrated honey
than the normal, generally pure
white and gr(atly in demand on
the market.

"If you're proud of your quilt-

all the history of the Jezebels,
1lerods, and other perpetrators of
iniquity,
All the beauty, tenderness, and
goodness of that land, with all the
tragedy of hate and violence, were
comprised in the brief earthly life
of Jesus of Nazareth,
* * t1
The law of vicarious sacrifice,
of suffering, and of giving of life
for others was written deeply into
the history and religion of Israel,
Among biblical scholars there has
been much controversy as to how
directly and in what way the 53rd
Chapter of Isaiah, with its por-
trayal of the Suffering Servant, re-
ferred to Jesus,
But plain readers, whose com-
mon sense judgments are often
sounder than those of hair-splitting
critics, have had little doubt about
the platter. They have read that
chapter seeing how Jesus fulfilled
its vicarious law a11(1 its Spirit.
* • *
Just how early in His earthly
ministry Jesus became conscious
that His ministry was to be ful-
filled in His death is not clear. Nor
is it clear whether or not He as-
sumed at first, as the disciples did,
that His ministry might involve the
setting up of an earthly kingdom.
What is plain, however, is that
Jests came to foresee and to accept
fully the fact of I-Iis sacrificial
death. IIe was the Good Shepherd
about to lay down liis life for the
sheep,
\Vc tend to speak of the cross
lightly. We wear it as a piece of
jewelry or a symbol, but how
much does it mean to us of the
reality of sacrifice and suffering?
IIow much are our lives given for
others?

million from the sale of farm products
in 1946 as compared with a revised es-

JUST IN FUN
Real Funny
Ile was telling her his family
history, "My grandfather was a
poor, hard-working clockmakcr.
When he died he left his estate,
which consisted of two hundred
clocks, to my father."
"How interesting," she said.
"It must have been real fun wind-
ing up his estate."
Woman
A woman niay put on a riding
habit and never go riding.
She niay doll up in a skiing out-
fit and never go siding.
\Ve have seen acumen don swim
ming outfits and never go swim-
ming.
But when a woman puts on a
wedding gown—she ntcaus busi-
ness.
"Mrs. McGillicuddy! Are you hav-
ing an affair with the superinten-
dent?"
Let's Be Explicit
The couple were on one of those
three-week cruises to the \Vest
Indies. While the wife was enjoy-
ing herself to the utmost, her hus-
band was most unhappy. An ob-
serving fellow passenger comment-
ed: "Your husband appears to be
a poor sailor." To which the wife
frigidly replied: "My husband hap-
pens to be in the real estate busi-
ness."
Protection
"According to the evidence of
the witnesses you were caught
just as you were getting out of the
window with the contents of the
till in your pocket. Now, what
excuse have you got:" and the
judge leaned back in his chair very
complacently.
"I knew it," answered the pris-
oner, "and 1 shall always be grate-
ful to the 'nen who caught rue.
When I have these somnambulistic
fits I am in danger of falling out
of windows and hurting myself."
"That idea never occurred to
me," remarked the judge pensive -
"It has occurred to me," remark-
ed the prisoner with unconscious
humor.
"That being the case I will dir-
ect a warder—"
"To release incl"
"No, but to see that an extra
bar is put across your cell window
for fear you may fall out."
Sidewalk Scene
It was one of those exasperat-
ing sidewalk situations when a
man and a woman, coating in op-
posite directions, jockeyed to the
right, then to the left, together, in
an awkward effort to pass each
other. When the snarl was finally
unraveled the man politely tipped
his hat and said:
"Well, good -by. It's been fun
knowing you."

An Englishwoinun in The Jungle VOICE
]3y Enid Fernandes
Miss Enid Fernandes, a Btiti h
Red Cross worker, spent a
year travelling in \lalava tak-
ing aid to the sick. After a
short leave in England she re-
turned to take the post of
State Rural Welfare Officer in
Pahang, Writing as she was
about to go back she relates
some of her es pcricnrc'.
My leave in England is drawing
to an end ani \within a few weeks
1 hope to be hack in Malaya, to
take up work in Pahang as State
Rural Welfare Officer under the
Social Welfare Department of the
Government of the Malayan Union,
1 ant eager to be back, fur there
is still a good deal of sickness
among the people who live deep in
the Malayan jungles, and after a
year's work among them 1 feel 1
have gained their confidence. 1
know 1 have learned to love and
rey.pect thein,
I arrived in Singapore from
England on September tit h, 1915,
when the Japanese were still in
the town and as 1 \calked down
hot country roads 1 saw many
hundreds of displaced Malayans,
Javanese, Chinese and Indians,
most of whoa were starving and
ill. The British Military Admini-
stration was already working won-
ders for the relief of these iifor-
tunates and gradually they were
collected into improvised camps
where, for several weeks, I helped
to look after the sick,
Embarrassing Faith
At the end of November 1915, I
was asked by the Director of
It[edical Services, British Military
Administration, Malaya, to go to
Kuantan on the East Coast of Pa-
hang to undertake welfare work in
that arca. Barbara Lomas, a Brit-
ish Red Cross trained nurse who
could speak Cantonese and Man-
darin, went with nie and took
charge of the hospital in Kuantan
which was overflowing with suf-
ferers, The District Officer, him-
self a Malay, asked me to try and
ease the districss among the sick
and needy in the surrounding
villages, the neglected rubber est-
ates and the jungle hamlets, 1
fixed up a British Rcd Cross 15 -
cwt. truck as a travelling dispen-
sary acid the Ilospital lent me a
Tamil dresser and a Tamil attend-
ant, and we set out.
The monsoon was at its height
and we worked under considerable
difficulties, but by the end of three
months we had a weekly program
covering 29 kampongs, seven rubber
estates and several isolated settle-
ments, and had dealt with thous-
ands of sick people with very
marked success. Indeed, I was
much embarassed by a widely
spread rumour that "Missie" could
cure illness and pain in three
minutes. "Go to Missie she will
cure you", they told each other and
pcoplc who hail been blind and
crippled from birth were carried to
inc in baskets. But all I could do
was to give them aspirin and treat-
ment for their tropical ulcers, sores,
skin diseases and other ailments.
I had a small tent made and fixed
to the side of my truck in which
I tackled their skin diseases; in
this 1 scrubbed the bodies—before
applying healing lotions—of hun-
dreds of Malays, Javanese and
Tamils and a few Chinese and
Sakais who had wandered into the
camp,
Awkward Situations Averted
At first the idea of being per-
sonall scrubbed by "Missie" was
greeted with considerable appre-
hension, but I explained that this
was accessary before applying the
lotions sent to me by the State
Health and Medical Officer, ('Those
lotions were extraordinarily effec-
tive, by the way, disinfecting and
healing at the same time.) The
shyness quickly wore off and with-
in a very short time whole families
would arrive and ask for treatment
and what might have been an awk-
ward situation passed off with con-
siderable humour,
On sevetai occasions 1 came
across very sick people lying in
their houses twitlt maggots dropping
front their sores and ants actually
streaming in and out, of holes in
their limbs. One of these cases
was a poor old man iii an isolated
village, The ants had eaten two
large holes in his leg, and when I
arrived he was semi-conscious; I
attended to him and with the help
of two young men two slung hint
in a kind of hammock attached to
a bamboo pole and carried hint to
niy car. When I left for my leave
he had been in hospital for 31/2
months, but his wounds were ahnost
healed and he was in very good
spirits.
Deep in the Jungle
It was not only sickness 1 had
to deal with; there was also apall-
ing poverty and need. One day
when I had was visiting a village
I was told of a family who \ visited
to conte and sec etc but could not
because they possessed only one
garment between them and that
was being worn by the man—the
head of the family. When I went
to their home they covered them-
selves with their floor mats. I
made a garment for each of them
and they were touchingly grateful.
On many occasions 1 penetrated
into the jungle to visit remote ham-
lets, some of which were reached
either on foot, twitlt the headman
of the area or a relative of the sick
leading the tvay, or in a small
native boat on one of the winding
rivers. On these occasions my im-
pending arrival would he announced
to the surrounding country by the
beating of a drum. The Malays
told nic 1 was the first white wo.
man to enter some of these settle-
ments, and certainly I was an ob-
ject of considerable curiosity to the
children.
Hazardous Journeys
During the monsoon period these
journeys were particularly hazard-
ous—or at least they felt so to me
when crossing crocodile -infested
rivers 011 long, thin palet trees, or
swinging by my hands over pieces
of damaged bridges with medical
supplies slug around sue. I think
o.:e of my worst moments cants
one day when the Malay leading
my column stopped in the middle
of crossing a river on an attenuated
felled tree to enquire how I was
getting on, IIis bare feet were
curled nicely round the trunk, but
my leather shoes slipped danger
ously, Ilad he not responded to
my cry of "I -Curry" I should have
fallen in. After this experience 1
discarcd my shoes and took to
flexible sandals.

Remember the story of the monkey \rho tried to
ww-ithdraw a fistful of nuts through the narrows' neck of a jar?
Because he It'asn't content with getting one luscious nut at a time,
he ended up by getting nothing instead of. something.
That story is worth remembering today. Greedy grabbing
of goods still in short supply Can have the same result—
nothing instead of something. Inflated prices, like the
inflated paw of the monkey, can as surely prevent each
of us from getting his fair share of available goods.
Canadians have had the wisdom to be content with
a moderate "something," knowing that as production
increases that "something" will grow larger and larger.
This is good sense, and is founded on the principle that
MODERATION is the key to CONTINUED ENJOYMENT,
a principle to which the Ilousc of Seagram
has always subscribed.

Better To Help
Turkey Now Than
Rescue Her Later
Qualified informants in Istanbul
say 'Turkey Must have American
financial aid if it is to keep its
army of nearly 1,0(10,000 nun fully
mobilized as a barrier against pos-
sible Russian encroachments,
Turkey has been on a full
I110biliza11011 status f01' sCVCII years.
More (flail 60 per cent of its total
national income goes to maintain
the army, most of which stands
guard along the 'Turkish -Russian
border cast of the Black Sea and
on the 'Turkish -Bulgarian frontier,
where it shields the strategic Dar-
danelles.
The 'Turks say the cost of keep-
ing s0 many 111111 under arias is
so heavy that it is draining the
nation's fiscal resources and jeop-
ardizing its economic structure,
This has caused the nation to
abandon plans for industrialization
of its economy, which is held to
be imperative if 'Turkey is to de-
velop a "decent economic order."
The building; of highways, rail-
roads, hospi' Is, and schools also
has been neglected,
":\ weak 'Turkey could only in-
vite trouble," one Government
spoketnan commented. "It would be
more far sighted and much less
costly in the long run to help her
today than have to try to rescue her
at some later dao," Despite the
country's heavy military expendi-
ture, its army at present is not
well equipped.
The Turks Maintain they are the
only neighbor Russia has that has
consistently and emphatically re-
sisted all Soviet pressure which
they felt tended toward expansion.
They have steadfastly refused to
allow Russia a share in defense of
the vital Dardanelles.

700,000 Employed
In U.K. Coal Mines
Nearly 700,000 persons are em-
ployed in British coal alines. This
10 11t'ice 115 many as are employed
in the bituminous coal alines of the
United States, says The Chcago
Tribune. Our 3311,000 (liners pro-
duce three times as much coal as
Britain's 700,000 miners do. The
average output per (liner is one
ton per day in Britain and six tolls
per day in the United States. If
American (liners turned out no
(110re coal 011 the average than
British miners do, It would take
two Million (lel to obtain our
present supply. If prices remained
the Sallie as they are, the (liners
here could be paid only .$2.50 a
(lay.
Still Missing
Tapioca—it's good, isn't it—but
what does it conte from and where
has it been all during the war? It
is made from the cassava plant and
is highly refined. Chief source of
supply is Java, which was overrun
by the Japanese who uprootod
plants and damaged refineries. So
long as Java remains as It i5 now
—politically and economically un-
settled—tapioca will be missing
from the grocer's shelves,
