She did not lower her eyes as he searched them for a clue to her request. Then he smiled down at her. "Of course." Together, they went forward to meet Mrs, Riba, a dark and lovely woman much younger than Art's mother.. "This is .Art's friend, Mrs. Riba," said Mrs, Carey and her eyes danc- ed s'ith merriment that the neigh- bor did not see. "Miss Roe.

She w atched the woman front veiled eyes, wondering where she had seen her before, or if they had web. "We're driving up to San Fran. cisco, Ma," said Art after a ino- utent, "1 think we'll leave now and cat a bite on the way." "Why not take my coat, dear, instead of your light one?" asked Mrs, Carey pointedly, attd gave Honey a quick glance of warning, "It will just about fit you." "If you don't mind, 1 will, Mrs. Carey," responded Honey. in a fete minutes they tt'ere on ther way, I•loney took a nice deep breath, and let it out in a long sigh. She felt like she Itad just escaped another near disaster. Art grinned in amusement. "Mrs, Ribais very friendly, but a bit on the curious, snooping side. 1f you had come out in Ma's coat she would have drawn all kinds of conclusions, The way it is, she probably thinks you didn't know it was so cold out here and neglected to bring a heavy one along, She'll try to get your life's history before she goes home, But Ma will stall her, She is awfully close about her own life, hoiwever." 4 4 4 "Site looks familiar, .but 1 ant sure I have never seen her before." "If she had seen you, she would remember it," Honey changed the subject by saying; "Your mother is very nice, Art. I like her. And before I leave I will try to explain about my name, and other things. 1 really hate lying, I have never done it before. But right -now 1 can't talk." Many miles flew by before she said in a very still voice; "I want to go to an old ceme- tery, Art." "The cent," Ile closed his lips over the word he was about to re- peat, and Honey, watching hits closely, saw hits square his should- ers and lift his chin. "All rigtlt." The gates of the cemetery were closed, of course, but Honey had expected that. There was no reason why she could not get over the wall with a little aid from Art, and he was willing to assist her. "\Vhen I get inside, Art," site said its a hushed voice just before he lifted her to the wall, "you drive -- Tar"nmerf5'lilcfa>'S"difilT'itu 3itc'l'd§'iia questions, No one must know that I have been here. No one but you, and I know you will not give me away. Cone back in an hour. Oh, w'aitl" Site just remembered some- thing that was vitally important as he swung her to the top of the wall, "Have you a screwdriver or sone - thing like that in the car? I want to borrow it." 4. * "1 have." He went back to the parked car and opened the trunk. Silently he gave her what site wanted and then saw her safely into the cemetery.

Yes, it is surely a wonderful thing for a grown' person to be able to look back to a happy childhood, symbolized by many happy Christ- mases, even though there Wright not be too much of this world's goods to do with, But if your are young, with most of your life before you, and with little• children in your home, then whatever you do, give tltcut mem- ories , .. memories of Christmas to treasure through the years, If you are in doubt as to whether you are giving your children the right kind of Christmas, ask yourself this question -"When my children are grown up what will their first thought be in . connection with Christmas?"

R, Barclay Warren Apocalyptic Literature in The Bible Rev. 21:1-7; 22:1-5, 17 Golden Text; -The Kingdom of this world have become tlefkingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and Ise shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:15. The quarter's lesson appropriately conclude with a study of apocalyp- tic literature, The word apocalypse is derived front a Greek word which means to uncover and refers to an uncovering or disclosure of hidden things, especially with regard to the future, In addition to the (look of Revelation, parts of Zechariah, Dan. ice and Ezekiel are apocalyptic. Apocalypses have been called "tract% for bad times," Their main purpose was to encourage the people of God in tittles of stress, (Extensive use is Blade of symbols and imagery of various kinds. ileware of the matt olio professes to understand all the detsil; of each apocalypse. The very ro. ,tery of them ought to incite in us a sense of awe. Gods ways and thoughts arc above ours. John's vision of the new heaven and the new earth are extremely beautiful.

Actually, it is but the place of preparation for our everlasting abode. How important then that w'e should study the Bible which points the way to heaven. Jesus commanded, "Search the Scriptures." MATTER OF FACT • My creed as a scientific 'worker rests on an almost religious convic- tion about the'goodness of measured facts; that all facts are good; they, may be facts about bad things, but if they are facts they're good and val- uable, 1 believe that the treasured facts of basic science, the observed relations among them, and the ten- tative theories based on these rela- tions, should be published for every- one to know.

'Fite resting period is naturally in- duced by the shortened days and lowered temperatures. With many plants this slow ing process may be imperceptible, with others it is dis- tinct and unmistakable,' Bulbous plants are ;III instance of complete test. Many house plants will cease to bloom and others will do so feeb- ly. Most of those which will flower at Ibis season have been condition- ed or prepared for blooming duri1.g the preceding months of summer or autumn, Recognition of the above facts in- dicates tate winter treatment. All practices which tend to stimulate growth should be held in check. Less water is needed, potting and root disturbance of any kind should be suspended. Fairly low temper - attires are desirable, hitt may be difficult to obtain. The temperature of the house roust of necessity be maintained at a point favouring the comfort of the human rather than the plant in- mates, It is a conservative state- ment that places a winter dwelling house temperature at 70 degrees, This is much too high for a great many plants. It is a good growing temperature for warm - loving plants under conditions of spring daylight aand ample humidity, But the combined efforts of high tem- perature, comparative darkness and a dey atmosphere are not favourable to general plant health. Perhaps the reasonable attitude to take in this respect is to maintain a day temperature around 70 de- grees with a drop to about 60 de- grees after retiring. To promote. humidity, the usual evaporating Pans on radiators and metal trays of gravel on window shelves to hold the plants will be helpful, Atomic Polka Dots 11's.anmtzing how idle chatter can lead to fascinating • discoveries, 'fake, for instance, the case of the .Atomic Il o m h and Polka • dot Dresses, writes Napier Moore.

That is, on the skim there were circles utatching the white dots. And those circles were not burned as were the areas covered by colored cloth. "That was interesting," said the doctor,„ but, of course, fundamen- tally there was nothing new about U.

That's whey X-ray operators wear white.

Distance of the person from the flash point meant much. But he must have noticed us fingering our polka-dot tie, for he added, "It is not impossible that science will find for humans some forum of partial protection against atomic rays. However, If ever you are in immediate proximity to an atomic bomb flash, polka-dot or no polka- dot, white pants or no white pants, you'll be dead mutton in a very short time.” TEST YOUR 1, Q.1 SPORTS QUIZ Here's a little quiz that should be easy for you sport fans, How- ever, you might find one or two surprises when you check up the answers — prinfed upside down to make "peeking" harder. 1.

And the results of their research will probably not surprise anyone. Just plain old wear is the answer— rubbing, bending, and creasing. But at least it's comforting to know .that the dry cleaner is not the one to blame nor is it only be- -cause the trousers are old. Hang your trousers up in the closet as long as you want and send them to the cleaner's 'often as you like and they'll never get that semi -gloss look. But if yon wear theme, well that's the rub. The textile experts failed to say so—but they might have also re- ported that, if you don't wear 'em, they last longer too.

'test rota—knit one, put thread over, and knit two stitches to- gether and repeat across the row. ' (This is the beading.) Next row — knit one, purl one all the way across the row. Next row — knit 26 stitches, turn and knit back 12 stitches, Knit JUST these 12 stitches for 11 ridges (instep). Then pick up the atitcltes on e(ne side of the instep and knit to the end of that row. Knit back and pick up the stitches at the other side of the instep. \Vith all of the stitches now on the needle knit 0 ridges. Color Offers Variety. toth ridge — knit together two stitches at each end of the row and tsvo stitches each side of the middle stitch. 11th and 12th ridges — narrow the sanies as the 10th ridge, Hind off loosely. Sew up the seam and run ribbon through the beading. 1 usually keep both pink and blue yarn on hand because I have found that a pair of each color boxed together with a sprinkle of sachet, makes an inexpensive yet lovely gift for a baby shower.

Care and caution in driving and walking are necessary at all times— but particularly so in the holiday season. December is a dangerous month, with more hours of darkness and changeable weather conditions. Preoccupied shoppers, young and old, are abroad in great numbers. In the excitement of Christmas time, people sometimes tend to forget their customary caution. As the end of 1948 approaches, let us all join together in determining that for the whole Province we will rake it a safe as well as a happy Christmas and New Year. a WHETHER WALKING .OR DRIVING Be Courteous Be Alert Be Careful c TAKE IT EASY-- DON'T TAKE CHANCES DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS GEO.

WIIATGOES ON 1N THE WORLD NamanBlnie The Paris Round -Up On December llth the third re- gular session of the United Nations General Assembly came to an end. it the beginning of the Fall, 82 days before, delegates of 58 nations had gathered in the Palais de Chan - lot. More than six hundred meetings were held. The delegates spoke something around seventeen million words. Each day minograph oper- ators used 1000 ream; of paper— and that's a heap of paper—just to record the proceedings. And what was accomplished through all these lengthy — and wordy goings-on? Well, only time tan finally tell. Perhaps some seeds were sown that will, at some future date, burst forth into a harvest, Bpt, from this angle, it looks very much as though the whole affair - 11 it benefited anybody at all — did good only to Paris hotelkeepera, eouvenir'sellers, and entertainment merchants. With the Russians "no -Ing" every proposal made by the Western allies— and vice versa —hopes for a final world settlement somehow teem even more remote than they did the day when peace was declared — and we all looked forward to "no more war". Great Britain There is not much comfort in stoking into a future," wrote Win- ston Churchill to Joseph Stalin, "where you and the countries you dominate, plus the Communist part- lcs in many other states, are all drawn up on one side and those who rallied to the English-speaking 'rations and their associates are on the other," The letter, which the former British Prime Minister read to an attentive House of Parliament on Dec. 10th was written to Stalin on Riding "Hot Shot"—Clarence P. itou, sensational 17 -year-old apprentice jockey, has been fairly "burning up the track$" lately and will finish his first riding ,,canon with a mark of r'o�e to 250 'winning mounts. April 29th 1945, just ten days before the finish of the European war. In commenting on the letter Churchill said that it marked the highest point In his relations with Stalin. How well the great British war - leader foresaw what was likely to be the course of future events, how eloquently he pleaded for a better understanding between the Soviets and the rest of the world, is seen in another paragraph from the salve letter. "It is quite obvious that their quarrel would tear the world to pieces and all of tie leading men who had anything to do with it would be shamed before history. Even embarking oh a long period of suspicion, of abuse and counter - abuse, and of opposing policies would be disaster hampering the great development of world prosper- ity for the masses which are attain- able only by our trinity. (The Big Three). "I hope there is no tvord or phrase in this outpouring of my heart to you, Mr, Stalin, which un- wittingly gives offense, If so, let m. know, but do not, I beg of you my friend, underrate the divergen- cies which are opening upon !natters which you may think are small but which are symbolic of the way the English-speaking democracies look at life." Prophetic words and no mistake, "Suspicion" — "abuse" — "couRter- abuse" -- "opposing policies" -- we've seen then all come to a point where they threaten "disaster hampering the great development of world prosperity." Whether or not Mr. Stalin ever even answered the fetter does not appear, In all probability he mut- tered something into his moustache about "bourgeois swine", then toss- ed the epistle into the waste basket, Palestine On his re turn from a quick trip to Palestine the ac' ng United Na- tions Mediator, iDr. Ralph j. Bunche, reported that prospects for a permanent peace in the Holy Land are better than ever before. He said that nowhere in his tra- vels through the Middle East did he hear any talk of resumption of full-scale hostilities between Arabs and Jews, and that both sides are showing marked readiness to nego- tiate a peaceful settlement. All of which sounds very hopeful and promising. However, there are other authorities who do not take quite such an optimistic outlook, According to British delegate Har- old Beeley the situation in .Palestine remains highly "explosive", and he accused the Israeli armed forces of having made two "incursions" into Trans-Jordan territory in defiance of the Security Council's orders. He gave warning that any Israeli at- tack on that territory might "oblige Britain to take action invisaged in its treaty with that Arab country" which means, in plainer words, that there Is a possibility of Great Bri- tain being forced to fight against Israel. That, of course, could mean a Rare -up which might spread to world wide proportions. Nor is everything peace and quiet among the Arabs themselves. King Abdullah of Transjordania has de- clared that his Government consid- ers all of Palestine as its "security zon.," Other Arab leaders feel that Abdullah's head is getting a little too big for his fez, and threaten to take steps aimed at reducing the swelling. The defy hasn't arrived yet, tint we imagine it's coaling -the tl.iv when the professional hockey '1',b;) Brass will regret that they ever in- troduced the center "red line" whi:11 towed along with it the hectic scramble they call hockey nowa- days. r t 4 We freely admit that this style— when played at its best—provides the cash customers with more con- tinuous action than the old form, which put a premium on skill, stick. handling and trickery. But that's just the trouble, A modern genera- tion of hockey onlookers has conte along that wouldn't recognize skill and stick -handling if they islet it on a platter—and they're the folks who start that deadly CLAP - CLAP -CLAPPING and shouting for "ACTION" whenever there is a half -minute of let-up, * * * And with the over -length' sea- sons they have these days, no team can continue to give the clients what they have come to expect, In other words, in their so-called "speeding up" of the game the moguls have, in our humble opinion, piled up a heap of future trouble for them- selves, Attendances have not be- gun to fall off, as yet, to any appre- ciable extent—but some of our "friends" who do a bit of ticket, scalping on the side tell us that suckers are getting a bit more choosey—and it isn't nearly_as easy to get top prices for the pasteboards, except when two top teams are playing, * x * Something similar occurred in the sport, if you can call it that, of six day bicycle riding, In the early days it was simply a grind, with the pedallers going round and round until — at lengthy Intervals — one team would try to "steal a lap". Then there would be a wild hulla- baloo, until the "jamming" was ended by the exhaustion of the athletes, and the crowd settled down to Svait for another, * * Then the promoters—astute fel- lows, as they thought—figured that if one or two such lame" per even- ing could get the crowds on edge, more of them would be even more likely to draw customers, So they started offering "lap prizes"—sums of money of varying sizes for any team that stole a lap on the others, * * * So we had ''jams" every hour— . then every half hour -until finally the,apectators began to show bore- dom any time the boys wesen't riding one another high on the boarded turns—sneaking through on the rail—and whooping it up. 'l.'hen, almost inevitably, the customers ' a tires( ,,t something \rhieh \\;as inst. a; artificial as a hummed \vier on an 8o -)car -old dowager, an simply stayed away and went to the movies. R M r WI. don't think anvthiug as dr;: tic as that will happen to hockey, But when "the honeymoon is over" -when the folks start looking at their hockey dollars just as critically as they are beginning to look at their niovie ones -we predict that empty pews in Big League hockey arenas will not be the rarities they've been for the past few years. * Then, we think, the tide will turn, Possibly the center red line will be eliminated, and trickery, smooth skating and • stick -handling will come hack to their own, It is quite noticeable that when Max Bentley —one of the very few left who knows how to handle a stick—gets out on the ice and does some of his tricky stuff, the crowd -noise often raises to a roar—and some of the younger generation look at one an- other in amazement, as if saying, "Well, what do you know about that—where did the gny ever learn tot act that way?" * * * All of which should be enough regarding hockey — or about any sport—for the time being, Maybe we're all wet in what we've just been predicting. We've- been wrong before—in fact, all our life we've made something of a hobby of pull- ing boners,. so once more won't make much difference, * 3(t * Anyway, we take this opportunity of wishing to all our readers—the whole three of them --best wishes for a very Happy Christmas --and may 194B be the best year you've ever had --and the worst you ever will have. Appropriate At the ;'We Have a Card for Every Occasion" counter of a large department store, the clerk asked the woman standing beside me what he could do for her. "I'm afraid you haven't anything that will do," she said. "I've look- ed all these cards over." "Madam," said the -clerk, "we have greeting cards for everything. What kind do you want?" The woman.hesitated, then leaned forward and said in a low voice, "My brother has just been sent to jail, and I want to send hint a card expressing my regret," The clerk thought a moment, then reached among the cards "For the Sick" and handed her one.

An insur- ance ratan says that only 11 per cent of farm fires- are the result of care- lessness; which looks somewhat on the small side to us, but who are we to doubt the say-so of an expert? Poor construction of buildings, he claims, caused the balance. * * * 13y that he means bad roofs, • chimneys that aren't kept in good repair, stoves or furnaces that over- heat, and buildings without light- ning rods. Anyway, it mightn't be a bad idea to take a look around the place and see if anything needs fix- ing. And this might be a good time for me to remind you once again that the amount of lire insurance you carry SH -)ULD NOT be based on what a building cost you years ago, but on WHAT IT WOULD COST TO REPLACE at today's prices. There's a mighty big differ ence between the two. * * * Of course you know that water pipes that aren't below the frost level in the ground need extra 'pro- tection in winter; but it's also a good Idea to check any vertical piping, that has been packed with sawdust or earth, to make sure that the packing hasn't settled, thus ex- posing some part of the pipes. And even indoor pipes, which pass through unheated portions of the house or other buildings, may need insulation, * * * This latter is particularly neces- sary with hot water lines, as the insulation not only prevents exces- sive loss of heat, but will prevent freezing at tithes when Such piping may be idle. Dr, J. W. Bailey, a well known veterinarian, Inas some interesting things to say to all who keep dairy cows, \Ve have long been told, he writes, that a lack of water means less milk from the cows—and with milk being so largely composed of water, it is easy to see why this should be true. • * * Ilowever, a deficiency of water causes an even more serious loss than that of decreased milk produc- tion. The biggest loss of all li sickness caused by indigestion—in fact it is this sickness which brings about the decrease in the milk flow, * * * It is only natural that cows should suffer most from lack of water in the winter months. At other sea- sons they are likely to have greener feeds and to be outdoors where water is more convenient. * * * Dr, Bailey tells about a sick cow which he attended in an ultra- modern barn. She was the only ailing animal in a large herd and was really sick. :t took the better part of an hour to figure out what was the matter with her, and the answer—when found—ryas SO simple that it made hint feel foolish. * * * What had happened teai that this cow's drinking cup wasn't working and Bailey estimated that the poor beast had been without a drink for at least three days. Replacement of a wornout valve in the drinking cup soon fixed things up. * * Sometimes whole herds will sick- en with indigestion during the win ter when water pipes freeze, or "auto- matic" water systems go haywire, or drinking cups get plugged with feet. When cattle are watered out- side indigestion on a herd•size basis is likely to go along with a particu- larly cold spell. Shivering cows • won't drink as Much as warm ones, even though the water may be steaming and hate a smoking heater standing in the tank. * * * The situation, naturally, is much 'worse if the watering place is an unheated freezing tank, or a hole chopped in the ice of a creek or ;TOCKING TIME HANGS UP STOCKING ON MANTELPIECE IN LIVING ROOM COMES DOWN ONCE MORE10 MAKE CER- TAIN Tasek ISN'T AHOLE 04 .HE 10E OF THE SToCt,ING ett'As l7.•2µ ROES UP TO DEO WONDERING WHAT TIME SANTA CLAUS WILL COME TO FIU.IT New Airport Feature --Road Underpasses Runway An Air France Constellation taxis over the world's fli t'roadway underpass built to permit the sI- multaneous movement of aircraft and surface vehicles at New York's International Airport. The underpass, considered a major engineering feat, drops to below.sea level at the point pictured above. The roadway, retaining walls and overpass comprise a 02,000 -ton "concrete boat" built to with- stand pressures from below sea level, pond, And indigestion on a large scale may even appear in fairly mild weather, That's because cows aren't built like camels, so trouble is com- mon in herds that are only turned out to water once a day. * * * So, Bailey says, why not take time off some evening and see if you can figure out some ways of getting more water into your cows this winter? Plenty of good drinking water means better herd health, and that means less expense and more milk, * * * All of tvhiclt I pass along to you, together with The Compliments of the Season. Searching for Orchids Ever since Jocelyn Brooke was a child he has had a passion for or- chids, those strange and ' subtly beautiful plants, He says that of the sixty species that grow wild in Great Britain, many are very rare indded and growing rarer owing to the increase of building, and the depredations of holiday makers, hikers and zealous botanists. He pleads that these lovely rarities should be allowed to flourish where they grew and said: "If one must gather them, it is better to cut the stalk, as this is less likely to dis- turb the root." Brooke has been an orchid hunter since he was eight; entranced by the spell of these flowers he has sought and found some of the rarest of them, Orchids have a strangely imitative quality; there is the Bee Orchid, which looks like a cluster of living bees clinging to the sterns and the Spider and Fly Orchids have this sante quality of mimicry, There is a' Man Orchid, Frog, liz- ard and Butterfly Orchids and, rar- est of all in Britain, the \filitary Orchid. Ile has searched all his life for this, but has not yet found it s He has even written a book called "The Nlilit:y'y e)rchid," combination of personal anecdote and botanical record which he terms an "autobontanography." He called orchids the Royal Fam- ily of the British Flora and said, "like other kinds of royalty, they are on the decrease; perhaps the plant world in this country is be- coming republican." He mentioned_ thatorchids are thought of by the man in the street as symbols of Edwardian opulence or decadence; to hint they have a fascination and a quality of utliqueness, "Orchids are not quite like anything else; there is something rare and singular about thou, something a little dif- ferent, something a little queer, something rather self-consciously and defiantly elegant."

He concluded his talk on British orchids by saying: "When so many of our public or private symbols are losing their power to sustain us I find it consoling to think that certainly, but I can still return every year to look at the Early Spider on the Dover cliffs, or the Lady Orchid in the woods of the Etltatn Valley, and feel pretty sure that they will still be there, and that they will still give me the same satisfaction that they did when 1 was child in that remote, unbeliev- able age of thirty years ago." Poor Hubby In recent months a perfume mak- er aas been carrying on an unusual- ly ambitious advertising campaign in newspapers of the Mid -West and Far \Vest. The ads smell like the perfume, which is mixed with the ink used for the particular page on which the ad appears. All went well until one news- paper, by error, got the perfume mixed into all its ink for one issue. The whole paper reeked. Heavily scented husbands hesitated to go home from the office lest their odor be misinterpreted. Glass -Blowers Art A Delicate One The glassblower's delicate art Is thousands of years old, and is gen- erally thought to have been dis- covered about the beginning of the Christian era in the Phoenician city of Sidon, Since that time there has been little change in glassblowing methods, although modern tools help simplify the procedure. In the great days of Venice, glass blowers achieved a high artistic status with their exquisite creations, but today the blowing of glass for most uses has been modified by mechanical means, although the art survives to contribute an essential skill to' the field of chemical re- search. The scientist, and especially the chemist, has become dependent upon glass as one of the chief materials for fabrication of con- tainers in which his studies are made. From the beginning of science to the end of the last century only the simplest glass apparatus was known; flasks, retorts and tubes were used and their style changed little down the centuries. In the last quarter century, however, more elaborate apparatus and custom- made glassware have been intro- duced, a development necessitated by the complicated work of today's scientific workers. In the type of work done for the laboratory, a rate stock of tubular glass, previously blown to this shape as part of the manufacturing process, is held in the Ilatne of a burner, fueled . with gas and com- pressed air or oxygen until the glass reaches the right state of flux, a point between rigidity and lique- faction. From long practice the operator konws by the colour of the glowing piece when it has reached the proper state of plasticity. The glass can then be drawn out many times its owl length or blown into any shape desired. The flame from the torch can be adjusted from 41 stere pinpoint to a. fanlike blaze, Glass first becomes red and then white-hot and in this latter stage is almost impossible to mould; therefore, most of the work is done Mille glass is retl-lni:. As glass is a poor conductor 44 heat the piece being c,orke- can Ile handled within at, inch or t,,o of the molten portion. iVi1hout this happy faculty, the glassblower's efforts to mould the piece would be difficult indeed, as he must turn the entire affair by hand, slowly and continu- ously to achieve evert hewing while applying the- flame. Strictly Fresh Anthropologists (lave turned up in South Africa another "missing link" in the evolution of ratan. Ultimately, we expect to hear of the existence of a whole chain of nothing hot missing links. * * * In England, the top q11 z prize on BBC is $8. For that kin.( of money here, you couldn't even get people to answer the phone! * * * One bookstore advertised a vo (urate entitled, "Harry Truman, c Political Biography," with this in- flationary sign: "Formerly 19 cents, now three dollars."
