Kernick, former Blyth business man, now of Watford. .They also viewed the new archn at Seaforth. 1Vatford is con- teniplating the erection of a new arena to replace the one they now have, which Is' badly in need of repair. ; -- StORs{fit 1X13IT C f l tC Whenever we happen to think of sport in connection with the Canadian National Exhibition, our memory invariably (}rifts back to the early days of the Marathon Swims—the days when "George Young is now being taken out of the water" was almost as familiar a phrase as "Greenberg is still on third" became at a later date, * * Poor George! He and another long-distance water -crawler, Chan- nel Swimmer Gertrude Ed e r 1 e, found out—the hard way—that while victory processions, civic receptions and the cheers of adoring multitudes may be very nice things in them- selves, they don't go very far to- ward paying for T-bone steaks, groceries or stalling off the im- portunities of the rent collector, If we had our way, "Which would you rather have—three cheers or three bucks?" would be tattooed some place on the hide of every young and aspiring athlete—some place where said athlete could read it readily and often, at that! * * * But enough of such musings. Marathon swimming was always a sport which we could either take or let alone—preferably the tatter; al- though we don't suppose we'll ever forget the spectacle of "the Black Shark" slashing down toward the finishing line in the first Exhibition affair, looking as though he could go another 25 miles at top speed. Considerable of a swimmer, that day, was Mr. George Vierkoetter, and don't let anybody ever try and tell you different. * * "But that's all past and done with, long ago and far away," as Mr. • i!iipling's love-sick Tommy used to put it. Let's take a look at what the sports fan has in store at this year's edition of "The Ex"—and it would appear as though the countless thohlcands of fastbatl lovers would get, for once, an elegant sufficiency of their favorite pastime, both from the standpoint of quantity and that of quality, But the Exhibition sports director can tell you all about it far better than we're able to, so take it away. Mr. Duthie. * * * First Canadian men's softball championship series will be played this year for The Toronto Telegram Trophy at the Canadian National Exhibition from Aug. 25 tc,Sept, 9. * * * The three-ring tournaments, sponsored jointly by the CNE and The Telegram, also will decide two other titles—the Canadian National Exhibition chamnpionship for men's teams and the Toronto champion- ship for women's teams, All win- ners will receive trophies presented by The Telegram and a set of Bul- ova watches. • =M * In addition to the three champion- ship series, the tournament will pre- sent the most unique attraction in softball history—"The King and His Court," a sensational four -plan team from the United States. This team is built around the prowess ' of famed pitched Eddie Feigner, 'hose bag of tricks includes throw- ing blindfolded to defeat the top teams in America. * * * "The King and His Court" will open the CNE -Telegram tourna- ments with a series of two games Friday and Saturday, Aug. 25 and 26, against Toronto Tip Top Tailors, current world's champions, and To- ronto People's Credit Jewellers, also of the Beaches Fastball League. * * Winners from six provinces will compete in the first Canadian men's 'softball championship series, Prior to the CNE a series will be held in Winnipeg to declare a winner to re- present British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and another series will be held in Mont- real to declare a Quebec winter, Privileged Parker—Ninety-nine-year-old John Griffeth can park any place he wants to now—even in no parking zones.

So when you've a fete minutes free from worrying about the A-bomb and its ,success- ors, maybe what an Old Country writer has to say about forest de- struction will help put you back in the mood of gloom which seems ap- propriate to this day and age, :r * * Before Man set to work with saw and axe to tear down the world's forests for his own use, three-quar- ters of the earth's land surface was tree -covered, But wood has always been an integral part of our way of life. :l * * Before the widespread use of metals, wood was the world's most widely used raw material, Houses, furniture, ships, fuel were all pro- vided by the woodmen who began the irrevocable slaughter of the forests. * * * Even after the Iron Age, wood still has its million uses in our daily lives and the • giant forests art: slowly being destroyed. • * * * The result of this may finally spell tragedy for the hutnan race. For trees do much more than mere- ly look ornamental and provide us with our daily needs. Trees are the great protectors of the soil. They shield crops from the winds, arrest soil erosion and prevent many a landslide by binding loose soil, * * * Already some two-thirds of the world's woodlands have been felled and today only one tree is beiing planted for every two which are destroyed. * * * No one would deny that Bhtich of the forest clearance has been neces- sary, Towns had to be built, and large areas turned into agricultural land to feed the rapidly increasing world population. * ** But the clearance has been irre- sponsibly executed. Much. of the land once covered with forest has now become desert. And this desert is spreading. * * * The famous "American dust- bowl"'is just one example of Man's wanton destruction. In this region all the trees were "Ex" Fashion Shows Draw Big Crowds Twenty-five thousand visitors vis- itors daily, on the basis of last year's attendance, are expected to view the fashion shows at the CNE, Every fifteen minutes, from noon on, a fresh show of Canadian fash- ions will go on the runway, all under the supervision of the wom- en's director, Mrs, Kate Aitken, Important new fashion trends far the Fall season will be given parti- cular attention in this large-scale style line-up, Highlighted will be the new sloping shoulders, the neat- ly moulded hipline, unioli of fabrics, such as crepe and flat fur, and the reds, blues and greens flattering to the older woman. Retire shows devoted completely to children's clothing will be seen for the first time in' the Fashion Court of the Women's Building and in the new Coliseum Theatre, In this spacious and attractive 'new theatre, seating 800 and especially designed for the showing of fash- ions, will also be seen Fall costumes for the business girl, the career woman and the campus crowd. Cominentators will suggest means of achieving maximum variety at mininuun cost, giving both price of the garments and where they are available, Hourly shows of budget - priced' coats, suits and rainwear, casual sports and business clothes and after -five wear, will again be modelled, every hoar on the hour, in the Fashion Court of the women's building, Upstairs in the Balcony Restaur- ant, same building, high -style clothes rushed for the Exhibition by some of the country's top people, will be presented during luncheon, tea and dinner hours, And in the Tea Court, models will promenade afternoon and evening in clothes from the shows in the Coliseum Theatre. And this year, also for the first time, fashion will parade on the ground floor of the Coliseum, Out front the doors of the 26 model rooms of the huge Design for Liv- ing show, at regular intervals, will walk even more models wearing more suits, more coats, jewellery and dresses, Hourly nearby, will' be the Duval showmobile show of suits, coats and rainwear, Then, just to add a touch of var- iety to this deluge of fashion, one of the home -sewn t''pe is being add- ed for good measure, Every after- noon in the Coliseum's special com- petition theatre, Mrs, Gene Dawe will be back to repeat her last year's, successful showing of smocked costumes.

About The Pleasures Of Pig Curing At Home By Geoffrey Boumphrey is there any more beautiful word in the language than 'ban'—unless it is 'bacon'—or, better still, 'bacon and eggs'—or 'hats and eggs' for that nuttier? VcsI They are beau. tiful %voids, I think, and I ant pre - /Jared to argue about it. \Vho was it who said that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder? Someone with :.athority, I know. Well, you have only, to substitute another senses organ for the eye, and ham passes the test with flying colours. But, you know, 1 have an awful feeling that 1 may be talking to part of a generation that does not know what hams is, or at any rate what it can be. Ily ham I do not mean that bright -pink, nu,ist stuff that tastes so notch of salt. Real Ilam is a soft, almost greyish -pink, and the lean is not moist, it is almost dry, and the, fibres have matured and softened until the gens oral texture is almost crnntbiy. But enough of this preliminary appetite -whetting: let us get down to brass tacks. One of the reasons for living in the 'country'Of any (cason needs to be given) is that in the country it is generally pos- siblc to keep a pig. One of the many grand things about pigs is that they are far the most efficient food -converters of • any domestic animal. You can reckon that of all the valuable fond you give them (during adolescence, that is,) about one-fifth remains in the pig, largely as bacon—or haat. There is another advantage, too, in the singlc•ntindedness witlt which a pig concentrates on its life's %void: of putting on weight. Long before the butcher comes, you will be 'estimating the weight al the harts, and evert visualizing the .long flanks neatly divided into rashers—all this tvithout the slight- est fccling of tactlessness, 1 will• admit that m}; first pig -killing day did not dawn without a slight sense of uneasiness; but I was raw, and did not quite know what to ex- pect. Now, those two occasions in the year are red-letter days, as they have been in Altaic England for hundreds of years, The butcher ar- t fives in his van, bringing Itis as- sistant with hint. The pig has not been fed for twenty-four hours, and so is interested in nothing in the world except the contents of the bucket that Ile follows obligingly to the appointed place. There is a slight report and he is wafted to the Elysian fields, in the final be. lief that, at last, he is going to get his head down in that bucket that smells so good. A beautiful end— which of us, with his mentality, would ask for anything better? Perhaps an hour later, 111r. Crown, as I will call hint, and his assistant, conte into my kitchen; and we drink a tankard or two of beer, The conversation follows rather the lines used when you go to see somebody's ucw baby, I ant left with the impression (Just as the mother ought to be) that I have been a very efficient producer, and that the product is one of the finest specimens seen round these parts for many a long day. Also, there is the great fttt of guessing the weight, Mr, Brown thinks it will stake every pound of twelve score; 1 say, modestly, that I should think it will top eleven score, at any rate. There was an occasion when the weight was eighteen score, and there, hanging from the beams, was a vast carcass like a mammoth's; but, nowadays, apart from the kudos of having reared such a pig, 1 like them about ten or twelve score. hrigIstweIl Brandy—what a pig she was! The quintessence of food conversation! As soon as the carcass has been weighed, it is let down with block and tackle, and cut up ready for curing. There are many different ways of doing this, according to whether you want a long' haat or a round one, how ouch you are go- ing to use fresh as roast pork, and so on. Personally, I always find there are so many bits and pieces which have to be used up more or less fresh (to say nothing of brawn ) that I cure almost every- thing possible; two harts cut short and round), two shoulders, two Bath chaps (or cheeks), and two sides of bacon, including the neck. Many Different Methods of Curing 1 did not start out withthe idea of doing my own curing, when I first kept a pig. I meant to send it away to a bacon factory to be cured • for rte, as most of my friends do. In , fact, I made a tour of their • houses in turn, to taste their pig and sec which factory's cure f liked best. Itut, as my pig grew fatter, memories. of the harts 1 had eaten long ago carte to haunt•nte, and I decided 1 would cure tile the hams, at least, myself, and send the rest away to be done, Even that reservation perished after a chat with a farmer friend of mine, and a taste of his home - cured bacon and ham. Ile said it t'as easy enough, and lie offered to lend me the tub he cured Ills ham in. I borrowed a wooden trough from somebody else to do the sides of bacon in. That sounda a lot of equipment, but I have simplified things since then, I found that an ordinary earthenware bread - crock just holds one pant and ohe shoulder, and a curing trough Is not necessary if you have a long, narrow table and an outhouse floor that you do not mind getting in rather a mess. Then I started collecting recipes and analyzing them. I should think I got about forty in all—and they all boiled down to about four differs cot methods_ of curing, with minor variations, I went out for simplicity and quality, With niy first two pigs I tried about eight diuT rent cures, and kept notes to compare with the results. Now I have standardized on two, a simple one for the every- day bacon, and a more exotic one for the Tess frequent ham. Both start in the traditional way —a good rubbing all over with salt and a small proportion of saltpetre; say half an hour's work in all; the same next day, only shorter, On the third day, when the salt will have drawn most of the surplus moisture out of the meat, the cures divide, The bacon and Bath chaps stay on the table and go on getting about five minutes' rubbing a day with the salt and saltpetre mixtures, plus a bit of Dentarara sugar•—that is said to keep the lean soft. The hams and •shoulders go into their bread -crocks, and for them 1 stake up a wonderful brew of strong beer or stout, molasses or black treacle, a seasoning of all. spice, coriander, and black pepper, a handful of salt and saltpetre, a shallot, and a good treasure of juni- per berries. This is boiled up, al. lowed to cool, and then poured over the joints. Each day, 'their _Gtui but not farggtteti-!A plucky date -devil, a Soviet spy, or just a foolhardy feathered friend? Soldiers are wondering just how to classify the sparrow who perched on the muzzle of a lethal tank gun during manoeuvres. After .the weapon was fired, and the last wisp of stnolee had cleared away, then could find no trace of the winged artillery observer. "Water's fine, but it can wait," four-year-old Johnny Zeck seems to be telling his dad, Ed- trard, as he applies the brakes to admire certain aspects of the view on the beach, Who knows, maybe if he does his double somersault she'll cut the cosmetics and give him a tumble, The heart-throb is Judy hiller, four, position is reversed, and they are thoroughly, basted with the brew, How long you continue the cur- ing depends on how long you want the meat to keep. I generally cure tate side of bacon for just over a fortnight, which means it will keep safely for six months, and the other I give, about three weeks, so that it is safe for a year, I do not think a hath or shoulder develops its flavor until it has matured fur at least six months, so they arc kept its the brew about eight or ten days for every inch of thickness. The catclt about it is that the longer you cure, the saltier the ntcat and the harder the lean tends to be, though you can offset this to a great extent in the case of bacon by soak. ing each chunk in water for a night as you cut it off the side, before slicing it into rashers. And, by, the way, does everyone know the best way to arrange bacon for cooking—frying, or, much _ better, grilling? Overlap the slices like tiles on a roof, screening each lean side from the heat with the fat side of the piece next to it; in this way you can cook the fat thor- oughly, still keeping the lean safe, After curing, tvash the meat in cold water (soft water is best; and, personally, I soak mine overnight in it), Then hang up the joints or sides to dry in a ttot•too-cold room for three weeks or a month. After that, they arc best somewhere cool. Sprinkle them with pepper, and sew them up in bags, but not only to keep flies away (which is the idea of the pepper) but also to pro - led Ibent from the light, which turns the fat yellow. Could anything be simpler? Hardly any equipment, half -an - hour's work the first day; ten min• utcs the second or third—and then only seven or eight each nay until the cure is complete. And the re- ward? Well, I have just finished eating the last ham of Brightwell Brandy, fifteen months old, It was black outside, and hard as a board, but it swelled out like a sponge after a week's soaking. Who talks of boiling ham? It was simmered' gently for neatly four hours, and then allowed to grow ,almost cold .in the water it had cooked in. I skinned it tenderly, drained. it, and sprinkled it with bread crumbs while it just still had the chill off, I wish I could describe to you the aroma that filled the dining -room when I cut the first few slices. I happened to have staying with Inc a friend who is chairman of the kitchen and wine committees of a big London club, His face was pos- itively transfigured; 'Why,' he cried, 'that Kant has a bouquet like an old wined' \Ve ate with some reverence, and were not disappointed, Could a factory cure have done that for us? The point I would make is that here in home -curing is an age-old craft not really very difficult to learn, needing little or no equip- ment, We complain nowadays that our food is dull, and we have to go without many delicacies` that were once imported at reasonable prices. But the humble pig, properly treat- ed, can yield food fit for an epicure or for the gods themselves, and the mere process of curing is not with- out fascination. The pig has been the mainstay of English rural life since Saxon times, and probably bcforc that. Call int a thaw -bacon —a yokel? \Vhy shouldn't I be? I ant proud of it, (Broadcast in the BBC's Home Service). Gave Him Palace But. Wouldn't Pay The eighteenth century was only four years old when the French armies were broken in a fierce battle fought in the tiny village of Bien. beim. And all England went road in adulation of the ratan who had won that great victory. \\rhat forst should a nation's gra- titude take? Queen Anne did not consult Parliament, but declared: "He shall have the ancieut Manor of Woodstock. The old, dilapidated house of the Plautagcnets shall dis- appear: a noble palace shall rise in its place." Parliament, informed as to Hcr Majesty's wishes, was also assured that the Queen intended to foot the bill herself. Accordingly an Act of Parliament was passed. The burn- ing question of the hour then was: Who shall build this architectural masterpiece for the nation's hero? Everybody expected that the choice would fall on Wren. But it didn't, The Queen told the Duke of Marlborough lo pick his own architect and he chose John Van- brugh, architect, playwright, man- ahout-town. That decision laid the foundation Merrily He Rollers Along—It's n jeep, but you'd hardly know it, The weird vehicle is the result of ingenuity at an Air Force• field in japan. It was born of the necessity for argent haste in handling air cargoes. As soon as cargo plant lands, the "Harvey Special' jeep rushes to it with roller conveyors that speed up loading and unloading. for something that nobody had fore- sren—a lasting, bitter quarrel boa twecn Vanbrugh, the playwright - architect, and Sarah, the brilliant, forceful and power -loving Duchesit of Marlborough. "The Queen rules England—The Duchess rules the Queen," was that people said behind their bands. And it was true! Vanbrugh, who had already de- signed some magnificent great houses, drew up even ntorc elabor- ate plans for the new palace. The Duke rubbed his hands: "Excels lent!" he exclaimed, But the Duch- ess became incensed against the project. "Who will pay for all this? she inquired. "And who would live 111 such a place? Comfort comes Ifeforc such show." So great a building involved the problem of finding enough master masons. In the end Vanbrugli got masons from all parts of the coup - try and a colony of craftsmen and working sten settled in Woodstock Then the troubles began. The local stone proved completely un- suitable and an alternative had to b^ used, That was ` bad enough. But presently the contractors were coming to Vanbrugh—who teas do• ing this immense work for a oto• nest $2,000 a year—for money. It was awkward. Who was to ;ray? The Queen, from her private fortune? Parliament, out of the na- tion's resources? Or the millionaire Duke himself? Neither the Queen icor Parlia- ment had stated what limit was to be put on the cost of the project, although official documents stated that Vanbrugh had been appointed Comptroller of the Works, author- ized to act on behalf of the Duke, During the long years that Blen- heim Palace was being built this unhappy situation ltd to much bick- ering, There were constant dis- putes about authority. There were incessant quarrels between Van- brugh and the Duchess. There were periods when there was no money to pay the working people. On one occasion arrears owing to the contractors, and wages owing to the workmen, ltd to a strike and threats of violence. The sten said that they could not pay for their lodgings, and that before they went Lack to their homes' they would wreck. the half -built palace. Vanbrugh, meant this palace to be, his masterpiece, UttfQrtlluatety, what he never considered wa money, For example, as he had to ,come down from London very often (he was building ' the Opera House, Covent Garden, at the sante time) he decided to renovate the old Woodstock Manor House. He had no authority to do this, and he put to work on it then employed on the palace, Having spent over $5,000, he casually mentioned it to the Duchess. The great Sarah flew into a pas- sion, accusing hint of having spent $15,000 on himself, and calling hitt insulting names, Front first to last, on the financial side and in the human relations of those most closely • concerned in this grandiloquent project, there had been nothing but the sordid. Nor (lid the death of the Duke change the situation, 1le left over hyo million pounds, a fortune equivalent to $150,000,000 today. But he trade no provision tor ,the unpaid workmen or for Vanbrugh's modest wage, When 'the will w•as made public, Vanbrugh wrote to a friend: "And yet this Man would neither pay his Work- men their bills nor , his Architect his Salary, But he had given his Whitlow (may a Scotch Ensign get Iter) £10,000 a year to spoil Blenheim her own way; £1,200 a Year to keep her Self clean, and go to Law." Thus to the end did bitterness poison the air as there arose one of the most magnificent palaces in the British isles—indeed, in the whole world. r t R Nowadays, from all parts of the world crowds are flocking to this same Blenheim Palace, regal seat of the Dukes of Marlborough, re. cently opened to the public. At much as $1500 a day is being taken "at the doors," And the first re• quest of nearly every visitor is to see the room where Winston Churchill was born. So many people gazing at his baby vest which tut on view, giggle and wisecrack, "I bet he couldn't wear it today," that the guides sometimes nearly scream. IT WON'T BE LONG NOW PAOR 4.

And now Partner says the wheat is dry- ing out nicely and will be ready to come in on Monday, So much wet weather has cer- tainly been a headache and upset everyone's work schedule—to say nothing of the vacations it has spoilt. And, oh dear, the potato growers must be having quite .a worrying time, I an sure of it be- cause nearly every basket of pota- toes I have bought has had one or two rotten ones in it, And speaking of potatoes, do you remember a few months ago I was complaining because we never scent to get nice mealy potatoes any more, So often they arc greEn or waxy; go black or have ringcrot. Or even if they have nothing the matter with then they still haven't any flavour, Apparently I am not the only one complaining as, last week the Canadian Countryman had a long editorial all about the poor eating quality of potatoes which, they too, put down largely to the in- creased use of conmercial fertil- izer—used, of course, to insure big- ger potatoes and a larger yield per acre. The editorial points out that while this may sound like a good business practice, actually it is just the opposite as the consumer public Is eating less and less potatoes every .year due to their unappetis- ing quality, As you know it is impossible for anyone to know what kind of potatoes they are buying because most of those of- fered for sale look nice and arc nearly always graded as to size, 1,ven those with ring -rot look per- fectly sound In the early stages— until they arc cut in half—and sometimes not until they are cook- ed. Just a:, with cake—the proof of the potato is in the eating. Re- tncnber how we used to look for-. ward to new potatoes? New pota- toes and green peas were almost a steal in themselves—with butter, of course. Margarine wouldn't give them that certain flavour. But new potatoes are no treat these days— except the home-grown variety. The Canadian Countryman thinks it is time growers started thinking ,about quality rather than quantity If they want to keep a good home market. Just think—wouldr't it be .lice if some of he big • growers 'advertized their product this way "Our potatoes are mealy and a • good flavour. Ou- soil has been tested and the only commercial fertilizer we use is that recommend. ed for quality potatoes—not quan- tity." Wouldn't we beat a path to their door! Now is it Monday and Partner has just come in with a few wheat heads in his hand — and looking very discouraged. Some of the ker- nels have sprouted and the rest shell out direcctly you touch them. True, it has happened before but not with operating expenses as high as they are today. We hate to think what the tax bill will be when it comes. As for the cost of living . , , well, enough said. But it is really rather funny—so many people think it is only town and city folk who are affected by the high cost of living, And yet country folk, because of the very nature of their work, are naturally very hearty eaters. You don't find farm- ers out to work on a breakfast of coffee and toast and marmalade! Well, I guess we have all been letting out our bells a bit in every way the last few years but now we may have to start pulling them in again rather drastically --espec- ial,' if this Korean business gets really out of hand, \Ve are sure the older generation can do it—but we just wonder if the younger crowd, who have grown used to easier times, better living ocnditions, shorter working hours, more pleas- ure and greater freedom—will they be as ready to tighten their belts? I doubt it — for one thing they .won't realize the Necessity until cir- cumstances practically force them to it, In the end it may be a good thing. Adversity, not prosperity, shows if people, young and old, have what it takes. \\'leen we are forced to slow up we do it, just as the traffic is beginning to slow up on the highways. And that, you will agree, is one thing we can be thankful for, Here's A Boost For ! ! ! Castor Oil! Castor oil, to many small chil- dren at any rate, has only one use, and that an unpleasant unc Ritchie Calder, in a BBC Radio Program, spoke of new and much nicer uses to which it may shortly be put. Calder, who is Science Editor of the "News Chronicle," recently visited the Negev Desert in Israel. At the Wcizntann Institute at Re- hevot the Director, Dr, Borgman, told him that by fermenting castor oil plants they can provide the basis of a great plastics industry, includ- ing nylon, which is at present pro- duced either from petroleum or coal by-products, . There was one use for nylon in the desert which interested Calder very much—that of combating the excessive saltiness of the ground, He explained that desert springs contain a small fraction of salt but under the intense sun evaporation is so rapid that the salt is deposited and accumulates in the soil, This poisons u.eful crops, with the ex- teptiou of the date palet, which just ignores salt and fresh water coming up throngh this salted soil becomes salted in turn and useless for drinking or irrigation, Israeli scientists- are trying to discover a method of sweeting this salted %rater and one method they are trying is to cover the brackish soil with sheet nylon in the form of furrows, 'Elie sun's rays evapor- ate the water through; the nylon • and rondeuce it on the colder top surface of the material. The water then drips into the furrows and there •they can have fresh soil and prow crops. Another problem that is being tackled is the rapid evaporation of reservoir water, The scientists are suggesting that tiny flakes of ny- lon should be used to float on and cover the surface of a reservoir to prevent evaporation for nylon can be used ether to produce or retard evaporation, In the first case the transparent sheeting admits the heat rays, but in the second, the granules of nylon being pure white and opaque, they reflect the heat rays of the sun and so prevent evaporation from reservoirs. "All this is just to show you tvItat you can do with the desert when you show some scientific imagination," said Calder, IThDAY SCllOOL LESSON By Rev. R. B, Warren, B.A., B.D. Mary, the Mother of Jesus Lukel:46-48; 2:'u-51; Mark 3:31- 35; John 19.25.27; Acts y;14 Golden Text, My soul doth mag. nify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my saviour.—Luke .1 ;46-47, Diary was the most highly hon- oured of all women, She conceived of the Holy Ghost and bore the Divine -human child, Jesus, This child was the long awaited Messiah, the eternal God, made in the like- ness of ' man. He stands unique among all beings, At the age of 12, He understood something of His Divine mission, Mary did not un- derstand the full meaning of His question, "Wist ye not that I be about my Father's business?" but her to the discipc John, whom He She,was one of three women who stood by the cross, There, amidst His agony and pain, Jesus demon- strated the meaning of honouring parenthood. As the oldest child, He provided for her kcep.•He entrusted bcr to the disciple John, whom He 'greately loved. She was a devout woman, continuing in prayer and supplication with the disciples after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, But Mary and the brother of Jesus had to learn the lesson that He belonged to a bigger family than they represented, On one occa- sion they sent for I-Iim, But lie did not leave the needy multitude, but asked, "Who is 1113' mother or my brethern?" "And He looked round about on therm which sat about Hint, and said, 'Behold my mother and my brethern', For whosoever shall .do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother". The implication is obv- ious. If we turn from .sin and be- come new creatures by faith in Christ Jesus, and thus proceed to do the will of God, then we enjoy close fellowship with the Savior. .Those few who were of the fancily of Jesus according to the flesh have no priority over. those to -day who do the will of God, All who serve Hint will constitute I-Iis bride at His second coaling in glory. Every man is to be respected as an absolute end in liimsclf; and it is a crime against the dignity that be- longs to hint as a human being, to use hint as a mere means for some external purpose, —Kant, Burp -less Baby -- A thuntll- sucking- diaper -wetting, face - contorting doll that doe" everything but burp was dig.. played at the Guidance Ex- hibit, Mothering the child ii five-year-old Louise Dtt Rona, who seeds undisturbed .by the cllilds life-sized chic's, This is no time for case and cow - fort.

Pierson than taking a class in Latin, though when she first took on her C.N.E. ,baking job she considered even one fruit cake Was a fair day's effort, During the school year Mrs, Pierson teaches languages, next term at' the South River Continua. tion School near North Bay, Last year she taught at Port NIcNicol, But school holidays are too long to suit her. A widow, and for 30 years the wife of the postmaster at Becton, Ont., she believes that keeping busy when one is alone is the secret to keeping healthy, and so for the second summer is at the Exhibition. 1-Ier life has always been busy, After giving up her teaching job in Tottenham to be married, she was supply teacher in Becton, and tutored half the youngsters in the neighborhood. The 200 fruit cakes she is on the way to completing, with 140 already safely in,nnd out of the oven, are for the luncheons and afternoon teas held daily by Mrs, Katt: Aitken, women's director, during the Big Pair, Twenty cakes a day she has set as her quota. Fowl Play — A thirry of feathers proved too much for this farmer, tive-year-o•d Robert Stamey, so he closed his eyes and \vent right on with the struggle to lug this indignant rooster to the fancily frying pan, Later, young Stanley opened his eyes and mouth to a hard= earned chicken and dumpling dinner. This brown -haired, bright-eyed school ,teacher, is also making cookie hatter—enough for 36,001) cookies, if you please, which will be ptit into the deep freeze and baked as needed. Another job, which site takes easily in her stride, is the making of 100 gallons of salad dressing• She also prepares daily luncheons for 35 members of the women's division staff who, under Mrs. Kate Aitken, have been busy for weeks doing the paper stork that must precede the splash and excitement of opening day. Professional chefs move into the women's building kitchen as soon as the Ex„ opens and Mrs, Pierson moves into the pantry. Not that she minds in the least for there she becomes storekeeper, making cer- tain that supplies of staples are ample for the hundreds of patrons tvho will fill the Balcony Restaur- ant. "1)o you want to go on the books or work in the kitchen?" Mrs. Pier- son was asked when she first went to the C.N.E. "Give me the kit- chen," was the quick answer. This complete change from the school roost, the excitement of it all, and being able to use most modern of • kitchen equipment, like the giant electric mixer, and the dish -washing machine, she finds a welcome and useful change. The garage is often a liability as far as the garden is concerned. Or it may be the tall house next door that steals privacy. Clothes- lines, compost heaps and play equipment—all of these pose prob- lems, They can, however, be con- cealed in such a • way that they become attractive, useful features. Many people stake the mistake of thinking they can Bide a house with a large group of shrubs and evergreens, Evergreens tend to be pyramidal and so do nothing to conceal the house next floor above the first floor windows, Then, too, evergreens are wide at the base, and take up the most roost on the gardener's own property. A shade tree or a flowering tree with a btoad head will do a better job. If the neighboring house is high, an elm, honey locust or staple c6uld be planted. If it is low, dog- wood, flowering crabapple or haw- thorn will give the same illusion of distance without taking up too trach space; Flowering Trees A pair of flowering trees at the rear of the garden may forst a screen for the neighboring house. It may also shade the terrace and France has 'em, too—Just as in Canada, the lvttr scare and tilt- fear hefear of accotnpaitying shortages brings the h2arders out from under_ the rocks in France, tbo. Here, as part o1 a national cat;t- paign to combat such foolish practices, a Paris agency displays a sign telling its customers, "We have oil, sugar, coffee and soap, Do not stock up. It is in your interest. Thank you." serve as the focal point of the gar- den. Making each plant fulfill sev- eral purposes is particularly impor- tant on the small property. If the house was built before the do's of the attached garage, this building is probably in the far corner of the property, In that case, a screen of shrubs is obvious, This, however, may take up too much roost, Instead, the side of the gar- age can serve as the back of an arbor. The ground underneath stay, he paved with brick' or stone laid in sand, and the top of the arbor provide a place to grow roses, grapes or clematis, Since the arbor is not attached to the hoose, it is probably secluded and may turn out to be the ideal place for out- door living. Such an arbor may help to solve the problem of what to do with tools and garbage pails. A board and lattice fence can close in the arbor at either end. Nearest the kitchen, a cupboard on ttie otitsirl conceals waste paper receptacles and garbage cans, On the inside of the arbor, the fence can forst the back for cupboard -benches, in which small hand tools and stakes can be kept. At the other end of the arbor, the fence could screen the clothesline, the compost pile, or any area not for public view, Garage Next Door The garage next door is some- what more of a problem, How- ever friendly the neighbor may he, he is probably not going to wel- come the building of a lattice on his garage. If it is close to the property line and perhaps in the opposite corner from your own garage, posts with chains between them might be put up. Or an iden- tical lattice in front of each of the garages may tic the whole back- yard together, Such a structure should be almost as tall as the eaves of the garage, assuming that it is one-story high, A problem that exists on almost all suburban properties is the nar- row strip between the drive -way and the side property line, It may be a foot wide or all of six feet and quite unattractive. If it is a lawn, it is a nuisance to stow. If. h is too narrow for a real shrub border, and a hedge is put fn in- stead, constant trimming will be necessary, The Itedge.that is alluw- ed (0 grow naturally will need some triuuning to keep it within bounds, An inexpensive and attractive solu- tion is a fence with square wooden posts. The posts are left to weather and then strung with wire. The fence may be covered with any attractive vine. The space in front, however narrow, can be a cutting border, Or, if It is in shade, a groundcover and spring bulbs might be planted, If winter effect is important, ettonymus or ivy will grow to a thick green wall in a fe.w years' time. A groundcover of myrtle will be true green all win- ter, and the daffodils and other early bulbs popping up through it will be easily seen in early spring A Specialty Border If this area is 'in full sun, it is a perfect place for a specialty bor- der of hetnerocallis, iris, peonies or any perennial the gardener wishes to experiment with or collect. As a natter of fact an interesting fuse of this narrow strip can even call attention away from the garage doors, which are usually open. Calling a tree a liability may seem harsh, But anyone who owns a small property with a Norway staple, linden or other heavy -headed tree, knows that they sometimes aren't worth the roots they take. It is quite possible that paving tinder that tree, with brick or stone laid right on the earth, may fur- nish exactly the sitting area or children's play space that is needed. This will mean, of course, design- ing the whole backyard for that focal point, but frequently a more interesting scheme results. If it is .an old fruit tree, or a high -headed specimen like elm, oak or honey .locust, a circular seat built around it may turn out to be a favorite retreat J-Iow To Pronounce Welsh Words Of the Welsh alphabet, the let- ters that seem to be difficult of pronunciation are in reality not so. The dd that `presents itself .so fre- quently is soft as th in thou; f is like the English v; h has the sante power as in the English "hand"; ng as the ng in "long"; cg and th are hard as in the English words "cat," "slog," and "thin." The re- training letters have the same power as they have in English, with the exception of two, which offer a slight difficulty in their pronun- ciation by an English tongue, These are the gutteral ch and the aspirate 11, The names of two stations on the South Wales Railway illustrate the sound (Longher or Locher, and Llanelly), and it is amusing to lis- ten to the remarks and the humor- ous manner with which the peas- ants hear the guards murder "the Queen's Welsh." 'there are no sounds in our language equivalent to these of ch and 11, but most of cur readers will be able to enounce them when they are informed that the former has the same sound as ch in the Scotch "loch" (a word with which all are familiar) and that the latter expresses the sound of the Italian gl, or the aspirated 11 of the Spanish. Having aving mastered these letters—a work of little labor—there will be no difficulty in learning to read Welsh, Which is incomparably easier than English or French, front the fact that in Welsh no letter in a word is mute, and the accent with significant exceptions, is al- ways uniformly placed on the sec- ond last syllable, Those who are.of the opinion that Welsh is hard or dissonant would do well to hear any Welsh preacher of note in. his native tongue—hear hint display the rich resources of his poetic language, and pour out his harmonious sentences in solemn and sonorous tones, and they will see cause to alter their opinion, and understand why it is he excites the enthusiasm of his hearers, and learn at the same time that it is possible to waken' powerful emotions even nt those who are utter strangers to the language of the speaker.—Front "The Book of South Wales," by Mr, and Mrs, S.
