Hallett Lodge Officers: Theft Reported At 'Rummage Sale A good crowd turned out to patron- ize the annual Lions Rummage Sala held in the Memorial Hall en Satur- day afternoon, On 'Friday evening the members of Chub made a door-to-door collection of articles donated for the sale, and this collection was also augmented by many donors from the rural area. The stun total was a very fine display which was attractively arranged in the Mem- orial Hall hasement by Lions and their wives on Saturday morning, and in the afternoon a real rush of business was enjoyed as people carie to shop for the bargains. Dickering on prices was en. joycd by both purchaser and salesman and the net proceeds will run well over $125,00, A regrettable feature of the event was the theft of two new blankets which were lifted from one of the tab- les and carried away during the early hours of the sale, In view of the ex- cellent work the Lions Club does in so many needy cases throughout the com- munity it is regrettable that some one would take advantage of n situation to remove the two best articles that were on display at the sale. As we all have a conscience we can imagine that the parties involved will feel anything but the, full comfort of these blankets us they use. them, Suffice it to say that every effort will be made to have the blankets returned to the club.

On their return they Will reside at Stratford, v WINTER WITH A BANG Tuesday, November 29th, 1955, will he remembered in this community as the day of the big snow. Just when everyone was thinking and hoping for a continuance of enjoy- able open weather, down came at least a foot of snow, out came the snow plows, and winter was in our midst in real earnest. There is something in 'igorating a- bout the first snow fall, even as there is about the sight of the first robin in the spring. What spoils it 011 for most of us is that we have the better part of six months of the winter season to. look forward to and by that time it can become mighty tiresome to most of us, Seasonable weather is howevel', good for business, and it has the impact of warning us that Christmas is drawing nigh at a fast pace.

They are drinking and fast driving. He is 22 (I'm 17) and he's recent- ly discharged from the Army; I don't think he has settled down much yet. "He seems quite serious over me, and wants to marry me in the near future, I'm all mix- ed up! Do you think he will straighten out and be a good husband instead of a drunkard or a hot -rod racer?

Here was everybody enjoy- ing the riot of colour in late - blooming gardens and along comes Jack Frost and spoils it all. One day lots of colour; the next 'a sorry looking mess of black leaves and stems. But I suppose everyone was on 'the alert for frost and rescued what- ever it was desired should be saved. We did anyway — so now the garden has moved in- doors. My "redding up" operations - have been temorarily suspended by other jobs, and also by visit- ing and being visited. Monday night and Tuesday I was' in To- ' r'onto: Wednesday and Thurs- day in Guelph; Friday and Saturday back in harness, mak- ing up. for lost time with our guests. Yes, I actually went away while they were, here. Awful, wasn't it? But you see our visit- ors come and go as they `please. If we .have previous committ- ments before they come they just move in and make them- selves at home. That method simplifies everything for every- body ' and so far as I can see it is the logical method for busy people. Partner: has his own way of entertaining. He generally has a few jobs lined up at which' the gentleman of the party can assist. You see, we have not yet acquired a tele- vision set so we can't while awaythe time that way. Who wants to "while away the time" anyhow? With two men on the job I now have a nice new clothes- line ready for next washday, I wonder — why is it so hard for a woman to get a clothesline fixed? When Art and Des moved into their new house it was sev- eral weeks before Art had "time" to put up a new line. It was just the same here. I bought new galvanized wire months ago but as long as the old rusty wire didn't collapse Partner couldn't see that a new iIne was neces- sary. Men. must be allergic to., clotheslines, Thank goodness my worries in that respect are over for awhile - or they should be with a new wire and two .new posts. Our twin heifer calves are coming along tine.. Partner .has decided not to sell them for veal but raise them for breeding pur- poses. That, of course, brings up a controversial question.. , . are twin heifers sterile? For .years old-timers advised us. not, to keep twin heifers — they ,would never get in calf , . • so they told us. We beljeved it until we found it to be false. Some time ago we kept twin heifers' and they each hada family. In one case twins . were also born tO one of the twin heifers. So that's one theory exploded.' Now we would like to • know if there is any, proven theory. as to what causes feather -pulling .in.pullets. Last year, as I may have men- tioned before;, we bought • ready - to -lay pullets, Some of them had lost a lot of feathers before we got them but we .thought new surroundings might prove a distraction and; break them 'of their bad habit, - Not a bit of -it —they kept it up until .they started- killing each other, re then we sold the whole pen. This . year' we bought pullets from the same farmer — same age and same. breed.- They have never lost a feather. The farmefr who raised them thinks that last year the feather -pulling SHORT CUT TO POPULARITY—Nancy Wichlei ignores her pet French poodle to gaze at her other pet—a llama, She gave the llama a poodle haircut,• making the llama her favorite. l , 111,•, 'i .•,.: ; 4 4:.:;.A•. 46-4 ;ft%�(4 III -i�:�.�':i,• 1w' o . /,ii�(�%/11i�l,ivi.i'%llp;�/�,\I%;• %44• li���1\�;tl' 1i!1 • �h ,.

In due time Dave wakened from his afternoon nap and Mrs. ran down to pick him up. But Honey snapped, growled and showed her teeth and refused to let Mrs. come anywhere near Dave. Eventually, with Dave's help, Mrs. got Honey into a more friendly mood and all was well. She wouldn't have acted that way if Dee had been there, But since Dee was out out Honey evidently thought it was her duty to take over. My niece in Deep River has a cocker spaniel who acts the same way as Honey. He sits out- side by the baby carriage while the baby is asleep and woe be- tide anyone who comes near that buggy. So,' mothers with young child- ren, if you want a guard dog for. your infant better 'try a cocker spaniel. But don't overfeed him or he'll soon be as broad as he's long. When Dave's cookies go overboard it is Honey who gets them. She is always on hand watching hopefully. As a result she is like a little round, honey - colour, furry barrel.

"Already you show the symp- toms of a man on the verge of .delirium tremens. And I under- stand that some poor girl has been, foolish enough to accept yotir proposal of marriage, I shudder for her, and for you." "Never mind, old chap," re- plied the hopeless case, with a grin. "The girl I'm going to. marry is a snake charmer."

Of course, Martian° Ignored, the challenge, anti a symr,e (1l' ()pinion indicated this was the smart thing for him to do. But the challenge revived an old debate: "Can a 'boxer beat a wrestler under mixed rules?" Phony efforts to test this have been made. The wrestler nearly always won. And this writer has always believed a fighter would have no chance against a wrestler in such an encounter The wrestler would dive-bomb the boxer and bring hen to the floor before the fighter could strike a blow. Once on the canvas, Sexing would be nullified and the bout would become a mere wrestling match. A hammerlock or a toe. hold would put the boxer quickly out of commission, '11'^ boxer's only chance would be to disable the wrestler befoi s opponent could get him en the canvas. The chances are t,,,,L this cannot be done. If you ever saw a capable wrestler employ the "kip" to bring an opponent to the canvas and then swarm over him, you'd get the idea, Even Jack Dempsey, lightning puncher in his prime, wouldn't have had much chance with a wrestling flash like Joe Stecher, champion matmen of the same` era, Or even against a good middleweight. Wrestling. is a far better defensive weapon against attacks by unarmed thugs than boxing. A few years ago news columns carried a story of how a wrestler was waylaid by two would-be holdup men. He subdued both simul- taneously, one with a scissors, the other with a hammerlock. Wrestling In its more lethal, forms, including Judo, with its deadly punches, was taught soldiers likely to engage in close combat during the war, being considered more useful for such purposes than boxing.

They were soaked and miserable — the night was com- ing on, and the dim gleam of plight through the uncur- kilned windows of a wayside ion made a halt seem inviting, even though the travellers were within two miles of Gua- lamar, their home village. "Let's stop for a few min- . ates," said the 'husband, "and warm our innarrds with some !randy." ' They dismounted and led the slivering animals to the old, crumbling fountain which stood A few yards from the tavern, Of stone and rusted wrought - Iron,. the fountain would serve for tethering the donkeys.

Their luck had` turned all right! Realizing she had dis- covered a hoard of gold she called excitely to her husband, at the same time glancing fear- fully towards the inn door in care ahyone should emerge. "Get a sack from under the ladle!" the man exclaimed, "No one's about in the rain to see us." While the woman was hur- riedly getting the sack which she used for a saddle -cloth her husband exultantly pulled out piece after piece of ancient golden jewellery, letting it cas- cade on to the ground beside him, a glittering jumble of the most wonderful Visigothic tree, sure that the world had known. Out came - great gleaming crowns, set ' with pearls and precious stones, their edges pierced with the names of kings and queens who had ruled in Toledo, Intended for hanging by golden chains in Toledo's churches, they were as well preserved as if they had been in a museum showcase, and not stuffed away, in a dank hole for eleven hundred years. • . As his wife stood beside . him, holding the neck of the sack open, the man crushed the pieces of soft gold up in his TAKING FIVE—These young ballerinas aren't just trying to get a different slant on' things.

'only one 'sack -load they took away with them that night. But they returned secret- ly, several times, always cover- ing their treasure hoard with loose stones. Piece by piece the treasure of Guarrazar—the hurriedly buried gold and jewels that someone had saved from the Moorish plunderers — was sold by the peasants to goldsmiths and an- tique -dealers of Toledo. They couldn't afford to haggle; but they were satisfied with what. they got. Their wants were simple, and living was cheap in the Spain of a century ago. But it happened that a` fa- mous .rchaeologist was living at that time in Toledo. Don Jose Navarro was also a preci- ous metals expert -• goldsmith, in fact, to Isabella. II, Queen of Spain. On a walk through the city, he was intrigued to see in the windows of various curiosity - shops pieces of ancient jewel- lery that his expert knowledge told him could only be of Visi- gothic manufacture. He bought all he saw; and inquired for more, Unfortunately, word of his inquiries got around before he could collect all the pieces. Many goldsmiths offering parts of the treasure panicked, and threw what they had bought off the peasants into the Tagus.,One of the most splendid pieces — a golden, jewelled shrine in the shape of a dove - is known to have been lost to the world in this way. Navarro collected most of the pieces which h a d' not been melted down and expertly re- paired those which had been crushed together f o r easier handling. Among the pieces saved. and repaired was that unique sur- vival from Visigothic Spain, the votive -crown of King Recces- winth, who ruled Spain from A.D. 650 to 672. Hung with golden chains, it was studded with' rock -crystals, onyx, sap- phires and pearls. - All treasure found in Spain is the property of the Crown. Navarro knew this, But, cot- rupted by the prospect Of vast wealth, he was willing to turn the treasure into a profit for himself. He fled to Paris and there sold his unique collection to the - cull.

Bay' a Wellington its., Toronto, Ont„Tel, EMptre 2.1481 French Minister of Public In- struction, at a price which, up to that time, had never been exceeded for a collection of an- cient goldsmith's work. The collection was put on show at the Cluny Museum in Paris, where it - attracted im- mense crowds. But its origin could no longer be kept a secret. The Spanish Government, having denounced the Queen's goldsmith as a smuggler, a bandit, and a per- jured royal servant, made im- mediate demands on the French Government to return the treas- ure, declaring . it to be part of the "inalienable regalia of Spain.” This was nonsense, The crowns had never formed part of the Spanish regalia, and all that the Spanish government's demand di was to make the French Government withhold payment from Navarro. Then France' was involved in a war with Austria — and the matter was shelved for more important national matters, A q u i e t, thoughtful man named Domingo de la Cruz lived in the same village — Guadamur —' for which the two peasants were making when they found the treasure of Guar- razar. He had read all that he satin discover ,concerning the treasure, and he had come to some exciting conclusions con- cerning it. He reasoned that whoever had saved the gold from the Moors - probably on the very night on which they plundered the city of Toledo — must have had a great deal more to hide than had been found by the peasants. Saying nothing to anyone, De la Cruz searched secretly in the neighbourhood of the fountain. Then one day he presented himself at the Castle of Aran- juez - twenty-flve miles from Toledo — where Queen I-abella was staying, His manna was so insistent that the Queen's spokesman, Don Antoniu Flores, consented to see him. De La Cruz came straight to the point, Suppose that he were lucky enough to find any more Visigothic treasure, would Don 'Antonio guarantee him a pen- sion for life?. "0f course," the other an- swered. "A moment, then, Your Ex- cellency," said De la Cruz. He went out of the room, and re- turned with a treasure almost as splendid as that lost to Spain by Navarro's greed! After a painstaking search De la Cruz found it in an old cemetery, And he was reward- ed for his trouble and astuteness by a handsome pension, -paid regularly until the day of his death. "Sleep -walks" Kill Mountain Climbers • Mountain - sickness exacts a pitiless toll of human life in the Alps, Even experienced guides, like Silvia Pedrotti, - of Italy, have been sacrificed to it. Seized by sudden faintness while escorting a party up Ber- nina peak last summer, he crumpled up without even a cry and pitched forward to death in the ravine below. But novice climbers are, an Alpine guide points out, most prone to this Illness, It comes on very suddenly. The muscles turn to pulp, the body feels ut- terly deadweight, breathing is hard, the victim's mouth and nose may trickle with 'blood.‘ More dangerous, however, is the overwhelming sleepiness that can cause a man to "sleep walk" overa peak or precipice, Nearly fifty immature ' climb- ers, hate been killed in the Italian Alps this year chiefly from this cause. Oldest Love -Letter Written On Brick Standing in the witness -box in a French police court the other day, a still beautiful, middle- aged wife whose husband had deserted her, said sadly: "1 should have known that he would not make a good husband, for he never wrote me a.love- letter, Even before we married, his letters to me were dull and dis-passionate." Letters have always had a fascinatio' for woman — espec- ially love - letters, But most youthful sweethearts of to -day just can't be bothered to sit down and pen passionate phrases. They prefer to record mes- sages at a cost of about $1.50 a time. When the loved one re- ceives the letter, she or he plays it over a gramaphone. What a change from the old days when grandma used to keep her love -letters locked in a lavender -strewn drawer! Women write many more love -letters than men. One sol- dier' stationed in the Far East received nearly 400 letters from his fiancee in a single week. She was so utterly in love with him that she gave up her job and did nothing else all day but write and write. The honour of writing the longest -ever love -letter goes to an ardent Elizabethan courtier. To the adorable, sultry -eyed girl he had fallen in love with at first sight he wrote a letter consisting of 398 closely -written pages - 410,000 words, This masterpiece of love and patience — five times as long as the av- erage novel — was full of praise for• her beauty and virtue. Women can also write long love -letters — yes, even in these hectic days. To her lover who had been called up for the Army, a senti- mental nineteen -year-old scrib- bled a one-page letter — but that was no less than forty-threi fee' long and five inches wide,! The man who received it one day in 1954, spent several hours reading it when he had recov- ered from his surprise. You can see the oldest love - letter in the world at the Brit- ish Museum. It is a courteously worde proposal of marriage to a lovely Egyptian princess, and it is in the form of an inscribed brick.

The public eehools in the township spent a great deal more money than the council di 1, but council always gets the blame for high taxes.

November 14th; 1035 The Editor, The Standard, Blyth, Ontario, The Attorney General and the Min- ister of Highways are grateful to the press of the province for the excellent coverage given the Traffic Safety Pro. gram which commenced November 1st, WIthout their assistance it would be quite impossible to conduct such a pro- gram, The cobatting of the death and accident menace upon the highways demands the most vigorous treatment and the columns of the province's newspapers provide n forceful and ef- fective means of reaching the, man in the drivet`'s seat and the man on foot across the length and breadth of the province. While the many and well written nelvs stories of the law enforcement program ably portray the government's resolute effort to require compliance with the laws governing the operation of motor vehicles and cause the nor- mally indifferent driver to exercise caution in his driving habits during the period that he feels he may be under surveillance by enforcement of- ficers, this message to you relates to another aspect of our campaign for safer driving. It is essential to the lasting success of the present all-out effort that they public is influenced in their thinking with regard to rules of the road, safe driving principles, traffic offences and Itral;Iic law enforcement: —that the rules of the road are not a set of pious rules that the policeman will "pinch you for"—but rather a cod- ification of the common sense prin- ciples that experience has shown must be observed if we and our fellow citi- zens are to continue to use the high- ways without an inordinate danger to life and limb; --that safe driving principles are not idealistic behaviour followed only by overly cautious people who "can't drive as well as we can", but are rules of behaviour essential to the safety of ourselves and others upon the high. ways—and that their violation can be attributed only to short-sighted sel- fishness or a endlessness or disregard for safety that no thinking citizen can CONGRATIILATIONS Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

In short, traffic offences are not to be regarded. as something less impor- tant than other types of offences for in essence it is by the prosecution of these offenders that we can save lives and avoid much pain and suffering with the hardships that are necessarily inciden- tal thereto. When one considers the inherent dan- gers to other users of the highways occasioned) by a careless or wilfully dangerous driver it is no stretch of the normal thinking process to say that the violator of the safe driving laws should be as much ashamed' of his con- duct as the thief.

Time to at least think about that Christmas turkey and the following hints about how to roast it may come in handy. The directions for roasting, you'll notice, are a bit different from what most of us are accustomed to — no water — no basting — but they come from a just -pub- lished booklet put out by the United States Poultry and Egg National Board, and we can be sure that they tried all methods before settling on this as the best one. Anyway — here they are! * * * "Correct roasting is slow cooking by dry heat on a rack in an open pan. it requires no water, no basting, no cover and no searing. Always roast turkey done in one continuous cooking period. Low temperatures assure better flavor and appearance, less shrinkage, and less loss of juices. A shallow open pan al- lows the heat to circulate around the bird, roasting it evenly. A rack at least VZ inch high raises the bird off the bot- tom of the pan, keeping it out of the juices. "For best results follow these simple steps: L Rub cavity lightly with salt. 2. Put stuffing In wishbone area to fill it out. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer, 3. Stuff cavity well, but do not pack tightly. 4. Truss bird and place on rack in shal- low pan. 5. Grease skin thor- oughly with fat. If meat ther- mometer is to be used, insert so that bulb is in center of in- side thigh muscle or the thick- est part of the breast meat. Be sure bulb does not touch bone. 8. Cover top and sides of bird with a loose cap of foil or fat - moistened cloth. 7. Place in pre -heated oven set at 325° F. 0. Do not sear, cover, or add salt. 9, If cloth dries slightly during cooking, moisten with fat from bottom of pan. 10, When turkey is % done, cut trussing string between drumstick and tail. 11. Roast until tender. * * * When buying your turkey, re- member that you'll need to 1 pound of bird per serving (and if your family likes left- over turkey — which most families do — you'll want to buy more). If you get a frozen turkey, you'll need two days for thawing it in the refrigerator or six hours under cold running water. If you want to add originality to traditional turkey, make IN CARACAS — Ex -President of Argentina Juan D. Peron is shown after his arrival in Cara- cas, Venezuela. He defended the actions of his regime, claim- ing that he had tried to stabi- lize the Argentine economy and "avoid the fleeing/ of foreign ex - (change"; that he had sought to increase the industrialization of the country, necessitating the multiple exchange rates he had imposed. twice the amount of stuffing needed, Stuff the turkey as usual, and then to the extra dressing add mushrooms and bake in a loaf pan, Cut this loaf into one -inch slices. Place then in a half circle around turkey, garnishing with green parsley sprigs and whole, fresh cranber- ries. As your turkey is carved, it's easy to serve a slice of stuf- fing on each plate. When it's time for seconds, the man of the ouse will find he has more time to take the sufliing out of the turkey cavity. * * If you'd like minceceat pie for your dinner, try this filling with your favorite pastry.

Cool, Beetles Succeed Where Guns Failed If Nelson were alive to -day he'd have drafter a new signal for the recent Trafalgar Day: "Stand by to sink the Victory beetles." For half a million pounds is needed to save the life of the world's most famous ship, Nel- son's H.M.S. Victory. The threat of the breaker's yard hangs over Victory in her dry dock a Portsmouth. What French cannon -balls failed to do when she fought at Trafal- gar, the deathwatch beetle has done. Victory, say the experts, ur- gently needs a £500,000 "surgi- cal operation" Her "heaft of oak" must be replaced by teak and steal. Why not use oak? Because seasoned oak could not be ob- tained from the forests of Eng- land and correctly matured un- til about 1875. By then it would be too late. For many years the Victory— launched at Chatham on May 7th, 1765—has been attacked by the dreaded death-watch beetle. Every Trafalgar Day Nelson's famous signal, "England expects ." is hoisted in Victory, On the quarter-deck, whore he fell, a memorial service is held. In 1844, thirty-nine years after Trafalgar, Queen Victoria visited the warship with Prince Albert. When she came to the spot where Nelson fell, she stood silently gazing at the tablet re- cording the fact. Then, in a voice tremulous with emotion, the Queen read aloud slowly the words of the inscription: "Here Nelson Fell." Stooping, she plucked two leaves as mementoes from the Trafalgar• Day wreath of laurel which had been ; placed on the historic spot. It is believed that those leaves are still preserved' in the archives of our Royal Family, DOUBLE-JOINTED—This calf can't stand by itself, because it has five legs, The "extra" leg of the animal, born on the Frank Veldheer farm, separates from the right hind leg about halfway down and appears to end in two hoofs. The calf also has a .double hip joint. Veldheer says the calf seems to be perfectly healthy, `Sunpost' Points to Tomorrow Three-dimensional symbol at right recently pointed the way for scientists meeting.

Plough Turned Up Fortune in Gold A treasure worth a hundred and fifty million dollars -- and all of it in instantly saleable gold -dust — would mean fabu- lous wealth to its finder any- where in the world. In Persia, where the peasants work for a few dollars a year, and where even for highly placed civil servants a salary of $600. a year is considered quite high, where there are neither hospital services nor a huge fighting service to eat up the revenue, $150,000,000 would go a long way towards running the entire Persian state for a year. This fortune was found only a few months ago by Muham- mad and Fawzi ploughing their narrow strip of stony ground in the province of Kerman. They were ploughing with a wooden ox -plough. Their com- bined resources would not have run to a cheap western steel plough, let alone a • tractor- driven plough such as the most modest farmer in Canada can afford. When Muhammed saw a gleam of metal in the bright north Persian sunlight and bent down to pick up a gold coin, he called Fawzi over to search the ground. Eventually they found another gold coin. Both coins bore a classical type of head, and an inscription that the two men could not have understood, even if they had been able to read. The coins were gold right enough, as Fawzi discovered when he changed them in the market at Ban. Gold is gold to the Persian peasant, and the head of the monarch or the in- scription on a piece of money doesn't matter very much, pro- vided that the metal is genu- ine. Ban is a small town in the province of Kerman, a district famous for its carpets. Buyers from all over the world come to Kerman, and their presence in the district has sharpened the wits of the locals. So when the money -changer displayed the two gold pieces on his market -tray, and the head- man of the town saw them, he was sufficiently knowledgeable to perceive that the unusual coins were worth an inquiry. His inquiries led him straight back to Muhammad, and Fawzi whom he ordered to say noth- ing of their find. He then re- quested the men to lead hid) to the field in which the two coins had been found, and hav- ing marked the place, went away, to return soon afterwards with two or three of his rela- tives, all sworn to secrecy. The exploring party, having dug the field at the point where the coins had been found, ex- posed the surface of a brick - and -stone vault that their picks quite easily broke through. Throwing a blazing torch in- to the hole they had made, they saw that the air was pure— otherwise the torch would have gone out, The headman's secre- tary and nephew then volun- tered to go down into the vault at the end of a rope. It was his •cry of wonder which nearly caused the man paying out the rope to let it slip. The men on the surface rushed to the lip of the hole, and shouted down: "What is it?" The voice of the man in the vault held -strong overtones of fright, for the Persian peasant is a Mohammedan whose religion contains a powerful element of the old paganism. The mangy at the end of the rope was now certain that he had been lower- ed into some demon -haunted cavern. "Let me up!" he bellowed, and was promptly hauled to the surface. When his alarm had quieten- ed, he was closely questioned by his uncle. What the headman learnt was enough to allay any fears of the supernatural in that official. He untied the rope from around his trembling ne- phew's waist, fastened it to his own and gave the order to his assistants to lower him into the hole. What the headman saw al- most took his breath away. He found himself in a long, vaulted chamber, the walls of which had been plastered, and which still bore traces of frescoed decora- tion in a style quite unfamiliar to him. Even with his scanty knowledge of the past, he could feel that he was in the presence of very great antiquity. A bolted door, the bolts and hinges badly rusted, showed how access could be had to the chamber in the ordinary way, and something about the sturdi- ness of walls and door con- vinced the man that this cham- ber had been built specially to contain something of great value, What, indeed, he did not know, was that he was in one of the provincial treasuries of the Sassanid Kings of Persia whose dynasty was overthrown when the Arabs invaded Persia in the seventh century A.D. It had taken more than a century for the Arabsto conquer Persia, and there must have been plen- ty of time to build and fill a dozen treasuries such as this. A signal was given and the rope was drawn up. Orders were given to Muhammad and Fawzi that on no account must they breathe a word of this find. Perhaps it would have been better for the headman's plan had he let Muhammad and Fawzi see exactly what lay beneath that vaulted brick -and - stone roof. But he did not. He set a guard over the treasury, and bid the two ploughmen make themselves scarce. Then he went off himself to get extra assistance. What he had found was a hoard of gold -dust, all in earth- enware pots. Of all valuables, gold -dust is the most easily marketable in the whole of the East. Portable, virtually un- traceable, needing no smelting down to disguise it, there isn't a money -changer from Smyrna to Sinkiang who won't buy it and no questions asked. Unfortunately for the head- man's plan, which was simply to collar the whole of the gold - dust for himself and his asso- ciates, Muhammad and Fawzi had wives. And the wives felt that they, at least, had a right to know what it was that their husbands had found. And so, eventually, what with one person and another talking, the news reached the governor of Kerman, . and then, in due course, it came to the notice of the Government at Teheran, A commission swooped d o w n: nearly everyone who had had anything to do with the find was imprisoned—the headman and his relatives are still languishing in jail—and the gold was collected and valued A hundred and fifty million dollars! The law of Persia gives a third of treasure to the finder a third to the owner of the land in whichit is found, and a third to the state. It is unlikely that Muhammad and Fawzi will share $48,000,000 but they have already learnt that they will be richer than many a Persian has ever dreamed of being, Animal Murderers When Vivian Messiter was found murdered in 1929 he had a neat round hole in his head, such as a bullet makes. Detec- tives searched for a gun. But there was no gun. The man had been killed by a hammer with a pointed end, For reasons similar to this, great care is used by police in African territories when inves- tigating cases in which natives have apparently been killed by wild beasts, Members of secret societies such as the "Leopard Men" wear gloves made from leopard's paws, complete with claws, with which they mutilate the bodies of their victims. In another case an old tiger was thought to be responsible for the deaths of several people whose heads had been smashed in as though by one blow of a great paw. But no traces of tiger could be 'found. The killer was eventually re- vealed to be a crazy old man who used a slender war club weighted with a large piece of metal shaped like a tiger's claw, A classic case of a man who tried to pin his murder on an animal was revealed by Bertil- lon, the French detective. Baron Zeidler was found dead in a stable- where he kept a high- spirited stallion, On the baron's skull were the marks where horseshoes had struck with ter- rible violence. Bertillon refused to have the stallion destroyed, and demon- strated the animal's innocence by producing -the man who had murdered the baron by crushing his skull with blows from a club to which a pair of horse- shoes had been affixed. By examining the shoeprints in Zeidler's skull he showed that they were made at an angle only possible if the horse had, kicked the man while he was standing on his head! Modern Etiquette... By Roberta Lee Q. Does the receipt of a birth, ;tnnourectnent obligate one to send a gift to the baby? A. There is no obligation, but, it is a nice gesture, If, however, one feels one cannot afford a gift or is not on intimate terms with the new parents, then a congratulatory card or hand- written note would be in order. Q. What should a person say when about to be introduced to the person for the second time? A, A suitable expression would be, "'Thank you, but 1 have al- ready had the pleasure of meet- ing Mr, Williams." Q. Is it all right, when enter- taining dinner guests, to use a folded napkin to brush tit e crumbs off the table? A. This is quite all right. Q. My wedding is to be very small and doesn't warrant the mailing of engraved invitations. How should I word the short notes of invitation to those friends I should like to attend, A. They may be worded exactly as the engraved type of invita- tions are. Q. Is it proper for a dinner guest, when he has finished a meat, to push his plate a little away from him to signify that he has finished? A. Definitely not! The dishes never should be moved by the guests, A guest's way of showing he has finished is to place his eating utensils on his plate. 0. Should a letter to a than always be addressed to "Mr."? A. Always, unless, of course, he bears some such title as "Dr," or "The Reverend." Q. I have had several dates with a certain young man and think quite a lot of him. ' ills birthday is near, and I am wordering if It would be pro- per for me to give him a, gift. A. Properly, you should give this young man a gift only if you are engaged to him, Otherwise, a suitable card is the proper re- membrance. Q. Is there any rule of etiquette that governs the length of mar- riage engagements? A, No; but long engagements are not so common as they were years ago. The usually accepted length of an engagement today is about six months. Q. What is the minimum num- ° ber of cocktails courtesy requires that a host serve his guests before dinner? A, One apiece is correct — and enough. Q. Isn't it all right, when intro- ducing a man to a woman, merely to say, "Miss White, Mr. Black"? A, Yes, with a slight pause be. tween the .names. SINK STOPPER WAS SNAKE When Mrs. Sandra Burger, of Bloemfontein, South Africa, found her kitchen sink blocked, she fetched a spanner and un- screwed the nut in the bend to poke the drain clear. A two -foot long cobra poked his head out and stared her in the eye as the nut came away! She gave the snake a wallop on the head with the spanner than shouted for help. A kitchen knife wielded by her son finished off the job. CANNED ART -- A youngster in West,Berlin, Germany, displays the ingenious toys he made of empty food cans;, in grammar school, At left is a miniature steam roller, and at right is a rider on a motorcycle. Other students in his class were given rags, empty boxes, wire, old nails and screws to ,test theircreative abilities, - TIIHMN FRONT Jokau&sveli About 2,000 horizontal silos were in use in Canada at the beginning of 1955 according to a preliminary survey conducted by the Field Husbandry Divi- sion, Department of Agricul- ture, Ottawa. The majority of lhese silos were in the provin- ces of Quebec, Ontario, Manito- ba and British Columbia. Most of them were of the ground surface type, requiring no ex- :avation. Experimental work on this method of ensiling crops, particularly for grass and le- gume silage, was started at the Ventral Experimental Farm in 1951. Results of this work have been sufficiently encouraging to secure growing adoption by farmers of the horizontal silo. ♦ 1 R Beef calves with only an open shed as protection from the wind appear to make as rapid and economical gains as ani- mals wintered inside a barn, L. A. Charetter of the Ex- perimental Farm, Kapuskasing, reports that twenty shorthorn steers were placed on test in the fall at an average age of seven months and continued on test for 196 days. At the end of this period they were put on pasture. One group of steers was wintered inside a dairy barn while another group was placed in a shed where the doors remained open all winter. The animals in the shed had access to outside paddocks at all times. 1 1 During these trials the steers in the open shelter made an average total gain of 174 pounds compared to 191 pounds for the 'steers wintered inside the barn, • • 1 Th calves wintered outside consumed a daily average of 5 pounds of hay, 18.7 pounds of grass silage and 1.4 pounds of grain while the calves inside the barn consumed 5.5 pounds of hay, 18.8 pounds of silage, and 1.4 pounds of grain. * 1 / Since the steers were watered and fed inside the shed, this limited the number of hours they would spend outside.

During the trial tempera• tures dropped as low as 25 de- grees below zero. * / 0 The question as to whether or not beef calves can be wintered with a limited amount of shelter without seriously,affecting their growth and increasing their feed requirements has been dis- cussed by cattlemen and agri- culturists for years. The trials at Kapuskasing and other re- search centres across Canada are supplying valuable informa- tion on the subject. * • 1 Artificial lights to maintain egg production during the shorter days of the winter months, will make a laying flock more profitable. However, the effectiveness of lights will depend on their proper use, re- port poultry officials at the Brandon Experimental Farm. Lighting should commence in time to maintain a 12 -hour day once daylight alone is inade- quate. This is sufficient while production is on the increase but should be stepped up to a minimum of 13 hours, when production levels off. 1 1 $ Once started, the lighting schedule must be regular. An a b r u p t reduction in either length of time or strength of light may cause egg production to stop. A time switch is con- sidered essential to insure against forgetfulness. When lights are started in fall, there is nothing to be gained by do- ing this gradually. However, when they are discontinued a gradual 15 minutes per week reduction is recommended. / 1 _1 Laying houses should have one 40 -watt bulb for each 200 square feet of floor space. When all-night lights are used, this intensity may be reduced to one-third. The location of the' lights will depend on the type and width of the house. In houses not more than 24 feet wide, the lignts should be placed in a single row at intervals not exceeding 10 - feet, midway between the roost- ing quarters and the front of the house; In wider houses a double row of tights is neces- sary, The lights should be sus- pended about 6 feet from the floor. The greatest light inten- sity should fall on the water fountains and feeders, with a lesser amount on the roosting quarters to induce the hens to leave them. * * 1 Aside from` convenience there apparently is little difference in the various methods of supply- ing light. If morning light is provided, feed and water must be available at the time the lights come on. When the birds are receiving light and feed in the evening, it s necessary to have a dimming device to in- duce then to return to the roosts.

Today' she is polio -paralyzed from the neck down. But she has wasted no time in self-pity. She set about to learn to draw and paint again with a pencil or brush clenched in her teeth. She won that ba the and has built a new artistic career with a collection of exclusive "mouth -painted -by -Merle" Christmas cards and personal note paper. Her husband, Robert, is also an artist. Here their fou r -year-old son, Gary, watches in fascination as his mother draws a picture. KANGAROOS LED TO URANIUM FORTUNE Uranium fever now grips Australia. Not so long ago, mining experts rejected this radio -active ore as dross. Now, as the raw material of atomic fission, it is more coveted than gold and, when stockpiled, im- measurably more useful—and dangerous. Uranium' is bound shortly, to revolutionize the world, wheth- er used for• Tower generation, transport or defence. Sources fit for mining are far scattered, Canada struck one of the' rich- est fields beside the Great Bear Lake, but lying within the Arc- tic Circle, 800 miles north by air of the nearest railhead, its inaccessibility impedes rapid development, • The Belgian Congo's mines are more advantageously plac- ed, Apart from that, small but valuable ore beds of high radio- active yields have been lo- cated in .the United States and Africa; Yet now, with Australia's' en- try into the production field, the picture of uranium distri- bution changes. For no one can accuse the Western democracies of irresponsible optimism in suspecting that "down under" contains the earth's richest strata of this coveted ore. And, as in so many remark- able enterprises, it was left to a single individual, a man of very ordinary attainments, to set Australia's atomic - prosper- ity moving. Jack White, . a brawny prospector of the pick and pan school, has spent a life- time amid the Northern Terri- tory's alternately sun - beaten and rain -drenched wastes. .Always he lived rough. Some- times he fossicked for gold, keeping himself alive . en kan- garoo meat, and sometimes he farmed until white ants devour- ed his buildings and pests de- spoiled his crops. Then one day in 1949, driving his ramshackle jeep, he set out from Darwin to hunt kangaroos in Rum Jungle, a waste land of -green mangoes, broken. hills, gum -tree scrub and' crumbling, ant -eaten R.A.A.F. but encamp- ments. The 'roos were scarce. But while searching for them, •White chanced to stumble on some green and canary -yellow lumps of rock lying on the site of •some' long abandoned copper and tin workings, Uranium ore oxidizes a bright yellow when exposed to. the atmosphere. That he knew. And he knew too that the colours of the'rocks at ' his. feet fitted in with des- criptions of the new ore, he had read in a Bureau of Mines pam• phlet. Putting down• his` •gun .and fetching a sack from his .jeep, he filled . it with rock lumps, then - flung it carelessly on the jeep's 'floor. Back at his shack, Jack post • - ed off his samples to the Min- ing Bureau's offices at Alice Springs, 900 miles distant. He didn't hope for 'much. ' "After twehty years in the,scrub." he afterwards remarked"one -gets tired of looking for new things. I just .picked 'em up. not pard; cular like," But when the expert at Alice Springs -' ran his detector 'over these ,samples it vibrated, as if . smitten 'with . hysterics, Soon, a swarm of scientists . descended on Rum Jungle, probing it with' their geiger counters. Then, in conditions of secrecy, exneri mental shafts were sunk. Dia- mond drillings dicclnsed how ext' ngive was Ili"' field, Jack White, lifted out of ob- scurity, blinked irritably on dis- covering himself to be a cele- brity, a national hero. Grizzled and slow -speaking, he never- theless pocketed the Govern- ment's maximum reward for his find, a cheque for $75,000. Yet when invited to join disting- uished guests at Rum ' Jungle's opening ceremony, in Septem- ber, 1954, Jack White stayed away. At the very moment that the Australian Prime Minister, Mr. R. G. Menzies, pressed the switch, setting in motion one of the world's greatest and most costly uranium oxide extraction plants, Jack was enjoying a quiet drink in the bar of the Adelaide River Hotel, Darwin; Despite his fortune, he dwells still in a simple galvanized iron cottage. He is without running water, electricity, or any of civ- lization's domestic amenities. When n atomic power opens up this corner of Australia he'll probably be the last to use it! But he has equipped himself with a new jeep. And, when re- porters• pressed him to disclose his new ambitions, all they got out of him was, "What I want is to be left alone by you guys, and grow peanuts," So the mighty ' atom has transformed him from a casual propector in- to a full-time peanut farmer. Now, at Batchelor, the old R,A,A,F, township in Rum Jun- gle, a new town on stilts has arisen. All the new buildings, shops, messes and primary schools - stand on stilts. They are also "louvred," or heavily shuttered, so that internal air temperatures can be easily con- trolled. The spot has the great ad- vantage of being only sixty miles from a port and of' lying on the 'main highway from Darwin to Alice Springs, Australia has started off her premier produc- tion plant with tremendous phys- ical factors in her favour. Formerly, in this wild terri- tory, many, adventurers and tough breeds lived off the coun- try. Provided they could shoot, ,they need never fear starvation. And with a little prospecting knowledge they sometimes stum- bled across gold, copper, tin, wolfram and other useful min- ' erals. Now, since Jack White's ter- rific luck, these wiry old pros- pectors have a new look and new tools. Instead of the . fa - miller gold washing pan and sluice -box, the more go-ahead have equipped themselves with four -wheeled trucks, g e 1'g e r counters (these alone cost about $300), ultra -violet lamps and modern camping equipment. Butkeen eyes, -patience and energy are still the prospector's • stock -in -trade. Uranium oxide does not cause geiger reactions JMLLI J JMLLICJ 'Six cents postage due? 1 know who tt'il from and ft's not worth that!" - if embedded below a foot of rock or three feet of soil. So many a man may walk over riches, as thousands of Austra- lian war -time airmen did around Batchelor in the war years. Lately the Federal Govern- ment carried out an aerial sur- vey of 4,000 square miles of this territory for radioactive mineral deposits, Twelve areas were found worthy of ground pros- pecting, mostly in'the Rum Jun- gle vicinity, And in these areas 'the ' surveying aircraft's atom detector, or scinntillometer, made 900 strikes. The Government still offers substantial rewards for fresh uranium ore discoveries. Where a commercially exploitable lode is found, the full $75,000 will be paid, Spurred by such induce- ments, Sam Macumber, a 59 - year -old brewery worker, and his younger brother Bill, a rail- way gate -keeper, spent last win- ter's evenings studying the symp- toms of uranium -bearing rocks. Then recently, acting on a hunch, the two began a search at Mount Kangaroo, near Ingle- wood, a small township some thirty miles from the famous old gold -mining town of Bendigo, They took out a mining licence. Prospectors are also attacking Mount Isa in Western Queens- land in a spirit as lively as any shown during the Klondike gold rushes. Here one group of eight men, headed by taxi driver Cle- ment Walton, hit on a hillock, 200 feet wide by 400 feet across, which they now call Mount Atom..lt appears to be solid with radioactive ore. 'The Australian Oil Exploita- tion Company has bought out their claim for $750,000. But, wisely, ,the lucky eight have contracted to receive a share in the mine's gross .profits as well. The , excitement of sudden riches proved nearly fatal for taximan Walton, He collapsed after a severe heart attack. But fortunately he pulled around, Now, regaining his strength in - a first-class convalescent home in Adelaide,' he's smiling afresh, He sees happy days ahead in which to enjoy his astounding uranium luck. The artiflcial flowers and #eathers industry has grown from four firms with a gross production value of $117,671 HSCI1001 LESSON It. Barclay Warren, ILA.. 0.0. Meaning of- Discipleship Luke 8:23-36 Memory Selection: if any snag will come after ine, let his deny himself, and take nip Ills cross daily, and follow sae, Luke 9:23. Jesus Christ did not gain hid followers by making rosy pro- lnises. It was a call to self -dent.* and cress -bearing. "For whose - will save his life shall lost itt but whosoever will lose- his lite for my sake, the same shall find it." So the self must die if we are to follow Christ. There is something very beau- tiful about the crucified life. Pride is absent and Christ la seen. The desire is to lose one'a life for Christ's sake. Dr. Albert Schweitzer is a modern example. Now in his eighties this great philosopher, theologian and mu- sician is not resting on hid laurels but is ministering to the needy in his leper colony in Africa, There is so much self- seeking today. It is refreshing to meet and hear those who have said 'NO' to self and are bearing the cross for Jesus. It isn't by chance that Luke follows these words on disciple- ship by an account, of the trans- figuration which took place eight days tater. It was a heavenly experience to see something of Christ's glory. Moses and Elias talked with Jesus of his decease but it was in a heavenly atmos- phere. The cross is always lightened when we • think of the coming glory. First the cross,—then the crown. That is why Christians are willing to suffer for their faith. A native teacher in Kenya was called out of his house by Mau Mau adherents who profes- sed to be police: They said that if he did not take the 'Mau Mau oath they would kill him. He replied: "Everyone must choose which world he wants. You have chosen this world, but I have chosen the world of Jesus and his kingdom, Come and kill me if you will, and I shall go to him," Thereupon he was shot and went to be with his Lord. •s. "If we suffer, we shall also reign with him." 2 Timothy 2:12. ODD WAY OF GETTING EVEN Many, many years ago therm existed a feud between the people of Little Basle and those of Basle, in Switzerland. Sepa- rating the two quarrelling towns was the Rhine River, spanned bya bridge. The people of Basle hit upas an idea .for displaying their con- tempt in a manner easily un- derstood. On the bridge, facing their rivals, they erected a huge, ugly stone statue. To the hide- ous face of the statue was fitted an automatic device which every fifteen minutes caused the figure to stick its - long tongue out at Little Basle, Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking ©EMO ©©©� ©DEP EBBE : 000 MOE ©©ED EMOOMPOE='' as©©©O 00©°°P EntOIN002On Off[: EMMEI W00 ' nano ©n© B©©L HOMER MU DEMO EEw]k 1 MOINE OMOHEM©© own HMO Ooi BEE?
