Train -Truck Accident Victims NotSeriously Injured Three Blyth men miracuou ly es- caped serious injury, or possible death, on Saturday when they were in co11ls. fon with the east -bound C.P.R. mixed train as it travelled through the stn. tion property on its return trip from Goderich to Guelph. The three risen, Emmerson Wright, Norman Spelrs and Sherman Rennin• ger were on their way home to dinner in a truck, Thcy had to cross the C. P.R. tracks as they left their place of employment, the Blyth Turnip Plant, on their way up town, As they 'proceeded to cross the track they failed to notice the approaching train the engine of which struck the truck practically dead -centre on the side. The locomotive picked the truck up and carried it a reported 03 yards down the track before Engineer Haim, could bring his train to a standstill. The three men, not having any chance of escape, were carried along In the truck; which was badly damaged. Spectators who saw the train, which was not stopping at the Blyth station, estimated it's speed at approximately 35 miles per hour. Almost as the ac- cident happened the noon -hour fire siren was blowing, and it is believed that the men may have become confus • ed with the blowing of the train whis- tle and the fire siren. Snow on the side of the tracks may also have been the means of saving the men from serious injury, as the wetness allowed the truck wheels to skid along, thus preventing the pos- sible demolishing of the truck, Dr, R. W. Street was called and had Messrs. Benninger and Spelrs removed to the Clinton hospital where Benninger was found to have suffered several broken ribs. He returned to his home the same afternoon with Dr. Street, Speirs, the most severely injured of the three remained in the hospital where his Injuries were disclosed as broken bone just above the ankle in the right leg and a broken rib. He i expected ,to pe released: the •middleof this week, Dr. Street checked Mr. Wright's condition at his home' on Sun- day morning but found nothing worse than a bud shaking up, Alt three men suffered from shock. The train was held up about an hour before it proceeded on ft's way to Guelph, according to Mr, Elmer Kel- ler, local agent.

Mrs, Watt was, as Mrs, Spelt' recalled, n widow who in. vested her life in the Women's institute and was sent by the Dominion Board to England to introduce the organization there:.•-In.1915 thelflrst W. 1. to be or- ganized was in Wales, and from there it spread and by 1933 there were twelve thousand branches organized in 1' British Isles.

Mrs, McCallum demon- strated many beautifully wrapped box- es suitable to contain gifts and that may be opened without disturbing the wrap- ping and decorations. A lovely lighted Christmas tree, gaily wrapped gifts for exchange aha Christmas decorations, made by Mrs McCallum and Mrs. Tasker, added much to the enjoyment of the meeting. --V— SCOUT . y SCOUT NEWS The regular weekly meeting of both Cubs and Scouts was held Monday ev- ening, Dec, 5th. There were not quite so many in attendance which may have been caused by the nomination mer Mg of Monday, November 28, which in turn, had there been an election, would- have necessitated changing our meeting evening for this week also, so there may have been a slight misun- derstanding as to when the meeting would have been, then again Christmas concerts and- rehearsals, and so on, ac- counted for some, but we are hoping for the. usual turnout next Monday ev- ening at the usual times, 6:30 pm. and 8 p.m. • We the Scout Master and Cub Master, solicit the assistance of the parents to have their children tit the Hall on time. Our time is limited and time seems to run away too fast fcr us, Help us to help the boys. Thank You. —H. Gibbons.

WINTER FOR SURE Last week we reported the arrival of the first snow in real quantity, The downy white material is still with us in spite of a mild week -end, and i1 would appear to be the real thing. What about those late electrical storms which we reported only a few, issues ago and which, according to time-honored prophesy - are supposed to herald the continuance of open weather, All signs fail at times, we suppose. In any event, oil up the old snow shovel. There'll be plenty to shovel between now and next April, Walton Girl to Be Guest Singer On CKCO-TV Miss Faye Love, of 'Walton, is to be the guest singer on the program "Mach Treat," over CKCO-TV, Kitchener, Channel 13, on Tuesday, December 1 • at•6 o'clock, Santa Here On Saturday FREE PiCTURE SHOW AND TREATS FOR THE KIDDIES Children and parents of the commun- ity are once again rerninded of Santa':; annual visit to Blyth which takes place this coming Saturday afternoon, Dec ember 10th, Prior to Santa's arrival, the Lions Club will show free films for the chit• dren in the Memorial Hall commencing at 2 o'clock.

Christmas this year falls on Sunday and Monday will generally be observ• ed as the''holiday, Whether Tuesday, December 27th should be observed as a holiday is ohe decision that should be reached and announced, It has been the custom in past years for the day following Christmas to be observed as Boxing Day. The Standard under• Ands that-Eomo. centres• will observe the Tuesday holiday, while others will not.

Last year else merchants in Blyth brought,into elfec' 'he Saturday night 0 o'clock closing atcr the NeW Year, which prevailed until the busy season began to open up in the ,raring, This arrangement once the pul,-i'e became accustomed to it, seemed to wo.k to the mutual satistection of all cone rned, because during the stormy winter per- iod people like to come to town in the daylight and get home before dark. These are matters which in fairness to the shopping public, and we are all shoppers, whether farmer, merchant, clerk, or industrial employee, should be decided and announced at the ear- liest possible moment, Marriage Announcement Mrs. D.

Farmers' Retirement Plan Farm Forum Topic On Dec. 5th, 23 adults of the Fire- side Farm Forum, Hullett township, met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oli- ver Anderson, The topic "Retirement Plan for Farmers" was a particularly interesting one. , First Question: Circumstances vary greatly, also the personalities of peo- ple, so there is no set rule that farm- ers should follow, When it comes time to retire, we believe the majority of farmers when possible are wise to re- main on their farms or at least in the community where they have lived. Older people find it harder to make new friends and a sudden and enforced leisure after years of hard work makes them restless and unhappy, and short- ens their lives. If there are two homes on the farm it is much more satisfactory than for the two families to try living together, and few farm homes can be divided. Because of the high cost of living few farmers can afford to re- tire to towns or cities and many do not want to, as they do not like the way of life and would miss their old friends. Often farmers, through -sickness or oth- er circumstances are forced to sell end haven't the privilege of remaining on their farm or building a home in the community. They often choose a near- by village or small town so they can be near a doctor and stores. Second Question: All agree it would be ideal for farmers and their wives to be assurred of a steady income when they are no longer physically fit ty farm productively, bat how to secure this isn't so simple. Many of the older members recall the depression years of the 30's when it took every dollar to pay taxes, the interest on the mort- gage and the barest living expenses. No money could be set aside for re- tirement but we believe all farmers should carry some life insurance for protection for wife and family. This should be taken early when the prem- ium is smaller. All money available is needed to Invest in the farm, ma chinery and stock.• There is none a vailable for annuity, However ear; farm couple should try to save or in vest In Government bonds or insur once so that if farm property greatl: decreases In value, they have some oth er income. Mrs, Robert Jamieson, Mrs. Bob Dal ton, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Anderson were the representatives appointed t attend the annual meeting and banqur in Blyth on Wednesday of this week. Members gave their Christmas gif for the Children's Aid Society at Goe erich.

After listenit to the broadcast two groups we formed for discussion on the top; "Can Farmers Have Old Age Security FIrst Question: We thought that f, decision was up to the individual is mer. The farmer with a son, the av rage boy has not enough money make a large down -payment, therefc the father would need to hold the moi gage, so may not have enough to b a home in town and enough to live ( Second Question: We consider tt all farmers are now striving to ma n living and save a little. Life Inst nnce is one way of laying aside later life. Tim chairman conducted the busing period. Cards were played and lar was served; The next meeting will be held at 1 hone of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Vranken, TA8LET�,xs Cupcakes are always popular, especially with the "junior set" and have the advantage of be.

Spent Her Wedding Night Alone While on holiday with. his wife and two little girls last June, a Yeovil bank official went. for a swim—and disappeared. Sixty- four days later he returned, Dur- ing that period his memory had been a complete blank. He remembered nothing from the time he entered the sea until he found himself in a Bristol restaurant. His case is unusual, but it is by no means a record, One morn- ing in the eighteenth century a Norfolk man left as usual -for his work on the farm. Nobody saw him ; after that for nearly five years. Then he was dis- covered wandering in the fields_ near his home. Where had he been all that tim? He hadn't the haziest idea. But it was obvious that he had travelled 'extensively, and had spent many, months abroad in a hot climate. He was burned al- most black by the sun, and his broad Norfolk speech was in- terspersed with numerous for- eign words and strange expres- sions, Snatches of Arabic and Hindustani mainly, plus queer phrases which nobody recog- nized. In addition, he had picked up a lot of nautical terms— and the sailor's picturesque slang and full-blooded oaths. Undoubtedly,' he:had somehow or other boarded a ship and voyaged to the East. But• why he did so and how he came back was never discovered. Even more dramatic—and cer- tainly pathetic—is the story of the r;ssex girl wno vanished on the eve or her wedding to a ,young farmer. it seemed an ideal maten, The young couple were genuinely in love with each other. The girl herself was eagerly looking forward to the morrow. Yet during the night she dis- appeared. With her went her. bridal dress, and this was found in a river near by. Of the bride; however, there was no trace, and after a long and heart- breaking search her frantic pa- rents and intended husband gave her up for dead, believing that she had been claimed by the river. And so the weeks passed, Then one evening the parents heard their 'dog barking joyfully. A feeble knock at the door fol- lowed, and the father threw it open. On the doorstep was the daughter they had never ex- pected to see again. She was weary, and pale with exhaustion, , but otherwise unhurt. Above all, she was alive. To her parents it was a miracle. Eventually they were able to piece together the events of those lost weeks. There is no doubt that the excitement of her coming wedding had temporarily affected the girl's brain, And so she had wandered off, clutching her wedding -dress, lost in a world of her own. She had no recollection_ of throwing the dress in the river. But she dimly re- called tramping the roads, sleep- ing beneath hedges and hayricks, begging crusts and drinking from ditches. ' At last she found herself among a crowd outside a village church. A bride entered On the arm of her , father and this touched some chord in the poor girl's clouded brain. Memory came flooding back, and she hastened home. Not so serious is the case of the young husband who had a tiff with his wife and stormed out of the house. "I'm going for a holiday," he shouted over hie shoulder. "Alonel" He went to a seaside hotel on the East coast and was about to sign the regi. %ter when his mind misted over. He couldn't remember his name, BRAIN WAVE Britain's min- ister' of labor, Sir Walter Monckton, hasn't gone in for a zany method of curling his straight -as -a -poker hair. He's submitting to test ' run of a brain - wave recorder during opening ceremonies at a mental health exhibit in London. his address, or why he had come. Rather than look ' a fool in front of the receptionist he filled in the register with the first. particulars which came into , his head, Followed a week of worry, a week of frantic brain -flogging, All without result. Then , he bumped into a woman who had just arrived at the hotel, By a remarkable coincidence it was wife's sister. They hadn't met for quite a long time, but they instantly recognized each other. Thanks to that the man's memory returned and he return- ed also—to his wife. A Hampshire farmer engaged a man of forty or so who had begged . him for a job, 'He was • unshaven and his clothes were shabby and badly torn. But he looked strong, and labour was too short for the farmer to ask questions. Despite the new man's dis- reputable appearance he was obviously well educated. He spoke with a refined accent and his manners were very different from those of his fellow -work- ers.. After he had received his first week's wages he went to the nearest town and had a shave and haircut. The transformation was strik- ing—and it rang a bell with the farmer.,He recalled seeing a photogrph in the newspapers of a schoolmaster who had gone on ` a walking tour. some weeks before and hadn't been seen since. Undoubtedly the missing schoolmaster and his new work- er were the same. The farmer reported the matter, the man's wife came to identify him, and almost at once he remembered who he was. But he had no idea of what had happened after he left home. All these are serious incidents, but loss of memory—of the tem- porary kind—can have its amus- ing and embarrassing side, After seeing his bride settled in the hotel where they were to spend their honeymoon, the bride- groom went off to park the car. Then he found he -couldn't re- member where he was staying, and after searching for ..hours gave up in despair and dozed fitfully in the car till dawn. Ima- gine the feelings—not to say anxiety of the unfortunate bride—left alone in a strange place on her wedding night! A lot of men are said tn, join the over -romanticized French Foreign Legion "to forget." A London youth', found himself in this tough corps for the onnosite' reason. He had, a mental hlack- eut while on holiday in Parts. • Perhaps the drinks he shad Consumed were partly respon- 0 siblle. Anyway, when he woke up the next morning, he had not the slightest recollection of en= listing in the Legion for five years. But he had -and his sig- nature on the appropriate docu- ment was proof. His protestations were of no avail. The luckless .young fellow was shipped ` to Algiers, given relentless training in the desert, and eventually found himself on the way to Indo-China. At this stage he managed to desert and eventually reached Britain. It taught him a lesson. 'No more holidays in Paris for me!" he vowed. You would think it impossible 'to forget your own children, Yet when a father took his small boy for a day dt an Essex . seaside place he arrived home without him. Fortunately the child was being looked after by the police —but the father received a se- vere ticking off for his lapse of memory. Another husband and father left his home' id Woolwich one Saturday morning, "I'm just go- ing out for a drink," he told his wife. "Shan't be long." The day passed, darkness fell, and , he hadn't returned. By now the wife was thoroughly' alarmed and anxious, and when there was no sign of him on the Sun- day she went to the police. They were sympathetic, pro- mised to make inquiries. Then at aboutten o'clock on the Mon- day morning a telegram arrived at the woman's house. It was from her missing husband, He was at his mother's home in in Yorkshire. He had completely forgotten that he had been mar- ried for nearly two years, and was the father of a girl. Fortu- nately, the man's memory re- turned, and there was no further trouble. ' All of which invites the ques- tion: what causes loss of memo- ry? "A blow on the head, worry or overwork mainly," a doctor tells me. "But sometimes a per- son subconsciously wants to for- get —' and he does!" So if you feel the urge to run away from ; your worries, to ih- dulge in a spot of escapism, there is only one sensible thing to do. Forget it!

Dieting to keep the weight and walst-lite down is generally blamed for this sad condition, but there are a good many who believe that the real reason is that potatoes, although, vastly improved In appearance, simply do not taste as well as their predecessors, 51y meaning will be matte clear- er by this dispatch by John • Gould to The Christian Science Monitor, written from the State of Maine, one of the greatest potato -growing areas in the United States. * * The lady made quite a rash remark, for these parts. She said, "My goodness, if I could only get a decent potato, even if it was Idaho, I'd cheer and carry on . ." Such a remark coi tainly requires sympathetic analysis, With Maine full of potatoes, and the market de- pressed, and the farmers like- wise, the high treason of the re- mark mustn't be lightly con- strued, * 4 * Yet it's a reasonable remark, I am reading a report by the United States Department of Agriculture which tells about the government development of 40 new potato varieties in the past 20 years, It also says that by 1973 the average yield per acre will go from the present 250 to 300 or more bushels. This news is imparted with a note of jubilance over the obvious ac- hievement. Yet last winter Sec- retary Benson told the Maine potato growers they were crowding the market, that they should plant fewer acres, con- centrate on selling, and work toward quality. They didn't pay any attention, of course, but most of them know he was right. * * * • With potatoes plentiful, why does said lady lament? When I was a lad we had two QUEENLY LOOK - Picture of regal beauty is Queen Eliza- beth II on a recent night out in London. She was attending a benefit performance' at Vic- toria Palace, kinds of potatoes we grew, One was the Early Rose, and we'd have them big enough to eat by the Fourth of July. The other was the Green Mountain which came along in the fall and went into the cellar and to market. Unless he's been there, nobody knows the unequaled excellence of the Early Rose potato -we liked to cook the little new ones right in with the green peas, with a small chunk of salt pork assisting, It was a haymaker's delight, The Early Rose, burst- ing its pink- jacket with mealy, mellow goodness, was tops. But commercially it is a lost cause. * s * My grandfather used to dig a wheelbarrow full every morn. ing, wheel it to the kitchen door, and' Grandmother would pick out in her apron what she need- ed for the day's supply. Then he'd wheel what was left over ,and dump then to Hue: pigs. Then in the fall the Green Mountains would get harvested and the only Early Rose we stored would be seed for the next year. * * When the USDA began its re- search 20 years ago and turned out 40 new varieties, they com- promised the standards, The po- tatoes they produced were "bet- ter" -but what did they mean by better? They resisted blight and bugs, they yielded more 'per acre, they ripened sooner, they kept better in storage, they looked smoother, they shipped better, and they did several other wonderful things. They also left milady wistfully long- ing for a good old potato. * * * A friend of mine has a bro- ther who farms a few hillsides in Aroostook County, the potato empire, and he was up there on a visit one fall just as the dig- ging started, The hillsides were busy, Great lumbering ma- chines were rolling the potatoes out of the ground, Swarms of pickers were gathering them into barrels, Flat trucks that hold 40 barrels, with derricks, were speeding the harvest to the bins. There were mountains of potatoes. My friend said to his brother, "Looks like a gond chance for me to lay in my win- ter potatoes!" "Sure thing," said the brother. "The hoe's in the garage," "Hoe?" "E,yuh, We ought to have one of them potato rakes, like a clam hoe, but we never bother- ed to get one, We use a hoe." "But what do you use a hoe for when you've got all that ma- chinery?" The brother laughed. "We don't eat those potatoes -those are for market and seed to go to Idaho and Florida and Long Island, We eat Green Moun- tains. The outside row, 'along the road, is Green Mountains, You got to dig them by hand." * * * So my friend got the hoe, and he had to walk a long way, be- cause the farm family had al- ready eaten about three quar- ters of a mile of Green Moun- tains, and he dug three grain bags full and -then went with his automobile to get them, Of course they were wonderful po- tatoes, So you've got to ponder on the curious industrial cus- toms of the modern farmer, who grows hundreds of acres of pota- toes to sell to the unwitting public, but plants some good potatoes for himself. * * 4 Nowadays we hear of Katah- CROSSWORD PUZZLE A1/1►OS13 1, Auto 4, Winglike. 8, Sweetsun .2.

The awards were made at the First Festival of Film Artists, The winners were selected by the persons they worked with during their film days.

You name a blight or a bug and we've got a potato that will lick it.

Of course, a lot of modern people tellyou they're satisfied with this or that potato, In fact I've tried new kinds myself and opined they were pretty good, The Kennebec is about as good as any, and has won many friends, But most of that is by comparison with other modern kinds, and it still a long distance from what I'd call top-notch. Skin -Diving Off The Coast of Kona Our outrigger lies like a dark arrow on the sunlit bay. We are in tropic waters which dance and dazzle . on the sur - surface, gleaming turquoise over sand, • cobalt over coral, and gun-metal over lava out- croppings. Farther out, the pur- ple patches mean cloud sha- dows, and on the horizon a tum- ultuous pile of pearly clouds hide volcano Haleakala and its island Maui. Looking down over the side of the narrow boat, there are thirty feet of pure salt sea water between us and the bot- tom, It is this lambent world of fantastic colors, shapes, and tex- tures that we will penetrate. For we are after coral. Two of us dive from the outrigger; an- other surface -dives. Wearing rubber flippers and glass face masks, we each are on our own, Fifteen feet below the sur-. face rises a lava shelf shaped like an anvil, 'startlingly black against the white sand bottom, Around this dart and dance brightly -colored reef fish. I plummet down. Then, grasp- ing the lava anvil with both hands to steady myself against the strong coastwise current, lie still, outstretched, a few moments, The fish, which have darted into crevices, now come out again, as curious as their visitor. Each is more startling in shape and color than the last, 'there are green fish with red stripes, red fish with green stripes, silver fish with black stripes, black fish with silver stripes, blue on silver, silver on blue, dots on ,stripes, stripes, on dots. Fish that are long and thin, like animated drinking straws, Fish that are fat and grumpy as goblins, Fish with faces that laugh and say, "Isn't this a delightful world?" and fish with big turned -down lips that mutter, "Ain't it an awful place to •be!" There are .fish that dart tike arrows. 'Fish that dance "their long 'seadAnces"- either solo or in pairs, Fish that loll, se- cure. in the doorway of their watery caves. Here,' is a brilliant yellow sunfish, There goes a stately black and yellow banded Moor- ish idol. Now a trigger fish, which natives take the pains to call "humuhumunkunukuopua- a." There hesitates a butterfly fish with a long delicate nose and an even longer name - "louwiliwilinukunukuoeoe" - a name which we doubt if he ever answers to. And now, before I have to leave, a fish I don't know the name for. He lies in a cave entrance like a melted lump of tallow, and surveys the world through disenchanted eyes, writes Chaffee Castleton in The Christian Science Moni- tor. I surface, gasping for air, gain my breath, then go down again. This time, grasping the lava, I stare into another puke, or hole. In it is a puffer. After a few flourishes of trepidation he settles down to outstare me, and we remain nose to nose, both raptly •fascinated. What a comical creature! This marine Pagliacci has a long pointed delicate snout which slopes back to a dish -shaped face and a body the shape of an angular cucumber. The most intricate design of royal blue and black pattern his sides - it would thrill a couturier. His back is orange polka dots on velvet black, and his comical face is ringed in canary yellow. I surface again, and rest on the yaku, 'or arm, of the out- rigger, looking across dappled water to the mid -Pacific isle that we set out from. Here white combers gnash on black lava but three years cooled. There a windmill rising out of a kiawe jungle marks a human habitation, Higher ' yet, the kiawe (mes- quit known as algeroba) is broken by deeper bands of green that mark the coffee farms, Pockets of yet deeper green mark the dark lustrous inagnolialike leaves of kamene, Broad bands of lava striate the mountainside, their black. fields of a'a; or broken pumice, soft- ened by straggling ohia trees =- the first to grow on lava, and the yellow -green of kukui, or candlenut trees, Long gone are. the camphor trees which sweet- ened the air far out to sea. I raised my eyes. A dazzling scarf of white mist at the 1,500 - foot level girdles the volcano Hualalai, whose top is hid in rain clouds, Now I grasp a hammer in one hand, and screwdriver in the other (for why dull a wood chisel on bone?), and dive for coral, Down again in the watery world of muted color, huge cor- al heads spring around me like gigantic tinted cauliflowers. Red, rust, blue, purple, mustard, pink -they blossom at my fing- er tips. Prowling among this seem- ingly petrified, but yet a forest of living creatures, I spot a smaller head, the size of a basketball, with perfectly form- ed branches, and a brilliant blue in color. Surfacing for air, I resubmerge, place the screw- driver against the stem under the branchings head and give one knock of the hammer. The head breaks neatly off, This I carefully bear to the surface and place the brittle shape, yet slimy with living polyps, in the outrigger. By the time I have surfaced with another, the first one has turned mauve. In the strong sunlight, it will be pink by the time we return to shore. In the meantime my two Filipino companions have not been idle, bringing up beautiful heads and branches to add to our collection, There is branch coral, brain coral, finger coral,• antler coral, fire coral (for this they must wear canvas gloves), and an assortment of shells. One of the boys proudly adds a hel- met shell, complete with heavy orange lip and living mollusk, which he spotted crawling along on the deepest place of all. There are also blue -black spiny urchins, a native delicacy when broken open and the roe eaten raw, like marine caviar. To this wealth from the deep I add some red-spined urchins, just to make the collection pret- ty. These brilliant red spikes, like pieces of chalk with blunt ends, will turn purple and then brown, as sunlight dulls them. We spy a turtle's hind -legs sticking out from a cave, where he has repaired headfirst to sleep. We grasp him and pull him out, and then have merry sport trying to "ride" him to the surface, the poor creature all the time trying to swim down to those nether realms that he calls home, We finally let him go, and rest and catch our breath on the surface. You would think we would have had enough, but I can't keep my eyes off the bottom. Peering through 'my face glass, I suddenly see a small tiger shark meandering among the coralheads. He has a streamlined nose, a long oblique tail, and six feet of gray lithe steely strong body. Now he circles my lava anvil direct- ly beneath me. His little eyes roll up to me, but he keeps on Isis circuitous course. The picture is complete. The shark in the coral, sleek, beau- tiful in his effortless motion; the reef fish, darting in and out of their crevices or dancing in pairs in the sheer joy of liv- ing; the sun shining down, warming the world; the waters lapping the boat; the trade winds, ' blowing fresh and free; me on the surface- peering down in wonderment and peace, the surf against the shore, the shore against the mountain, the mountain against the sky, I leisurely climb aboard the outrigger, where my two com- panions had quickly repaired at the first breath of "shark," 'and we paddled shoreward, our boat heavy with our trophies of the deep. We are in brilliant sun- light, made even more intense by contrast with the mountain we are paddling toward, dark with rain. As we move into the quieter waters of Keauhou bay, a dazzling rainbow arches the sky. R. Barclay Warren, ILA., 8.11. Who Is My Neighbour! Luke 10: 25-37 Memory Selection: Thou love the Lord thy God with thy heart, and with all thy sorgp and with all thy strength, Nal with all thy mind; and tic neighbour as thyself, Luke 1 27. In our Christian life theory and practice must be properly coordinated. The lawyer was up on his theory but not so clear on its everyday application. He knew that to love God with a111 one's being and to love one's neighbour as himself was the way to inherit eternal life. But he also knew that lie had net lived up to this law o! love and so he asked, "And who is my neighbour?" The point of the parable of the Good Samartian was unmistable, The essence of neighbourliness is to show mercy on the needy regardless of colour, race or creed, The priest looked at the unfortunate man and passed by on the other side, The Levite who perform- ed more ordinary duties around •the temple looked more closely but went on. But the Samaritan, despised by the Jews because he was a descendant of those Jews who had intermarried with the colonists brought in by the Assyrians, cared for the man. He proved himself a neighbour. He even left the wages for two days' work with the innkeeper to insure his continued care and promised more if it were re- quired. Our well -organized welfare k, agencies leave us lots of room to be good neighbours. Thera are needs about us among our citizens and among immigrants. There are the little deeds which we may do that say so much. Nationally we are considering our less fortunate neighbours, The Colombo plan is an example of our effort here. Many of our trained young people are catch- ing the vision of going to those parts of the world where they are most needed. I asked one of my former students what were his plans when he graduated with his M.D, "Oh, set up a practise here and make a pile of money," he replied. I . saw the twinkle in his eye, "No," he said, "I'm thinking of going to North Africa," That is the spirit of the Good Samaritan, MERRY MENAGERIE "Most frustrated turtle I kno He's subject to spells of w derlust, but never gets to whe he's nolnr,!" • . 4114 Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking t Jk !

This can be prevented in many cases by the wise end thoughtful hostess, By keeping these simple rules In mind, Mrs. Adams concluded, women can help to make this a safer and thu n happier holiday: 1. .When your guttas are leaving, urge thein to drive carefully and, If they have' a long way to drive, suggest that they stop part way for a snack and a cup of coffee to overcome fatigue,. 2. If you belong to the grout number of Canadians who serve alcoholic be'f- erages, it is kinder to guests to serve then moderately, 3, To eliminate the effects of- even moderate drinking, serve your guests hot, strong coffee or hot soup or cocoa with milk ,nes "one for the road" just before they leave, 4, . Promote the safety rule—"If you drive, don't drunk," Persuade guests who have, to leave their car and drive home with others rather than endan- ger 'themselves acid others un the highway. 5. Hake sure that your guests have sufficient, warm clothing and wraps in event of car trouble or road blocks in Canadian winter weather, It Is wise to carry along it thermos of hot coffee or other alertness beverage If you have long distances to travel These few rulea may save lives this Christmas, and New Year's.

Woodlands, Grand Isle, Vermont Dear Mr, %Whitmore: Enclosed please find $3 renewal subscription for The Blyth Standtard which was due in Oc- tober. Fifty years ago I was among the teen-age scoffers who were want to ridicule and lampoon the type of rural reporting which was a published ac• count of who visited whom the prev- ious week. In the half century 1905- 1955 I think I may have acquired some small fragments of wiAonn which en- able me to view the world and its hu- man problems with a less jaundiced eye. I note the identical traits and tendencies in the news items, whether it be the metropolitan papers like the New York Times or Herald Tribune, or the Philadelphia Bulletin, or The Blyth Standard, The Goderich Signal, or The Napanee Post -Express, namely a hu- man interest in and curlouaity about the comings and goings of folks we know. Po now each week I open the 'local papers of the communities I knew as a boy before I open the huge daily sheets of the metropolitan and world new.; papers. No matter how far one has moved from the plane of childhood level, either up or down, It is a know- ledge of what goes on each day in the retreats and haunts of years and years ago that draws one stronger and stronger as the allotted time grows shorter and shorter. So, although nine out of ten news items of 1955 are out of my present ken, the tenth item concerns someone I knew away back in East Wawanosh from 1890, when I was five years old, until 19011 when I left Ontario to visit in New York State for two weeks. Those two !Weeks have lengthened to forty seven years last August. - - I still have a lot „pi' stories I intend to send you, but since I wrote you a- bout Maitland- and me fishing 111 "The 13(g Creek" I. have been "sort of peak - cd" in my health. I'm now 50 pounds lighter than I was and all I lack note is a third hand to keep my pants at a decorous level, when I get active enough to use both hands "real good" I'll give you a few more stories of life in Westfield, 1890 to 1908, , Meanwhile keep The Standard conn- ing each week. It's like a breath of new mown hay to me at 70, Sincerely yours, GORDON E, WIGH'i'MAN, !MONDAY'S ELECTION ' RESULTS IN HURON A small percentage of municipalities In Huron County went to the polls on Monday to vote for municipal officials.

But after all's sain and done, the real fun of Christmas comes not from what we spend on gifts but from the time we spend with our family and friends at home, From the Lovett's to all our friends (actually, more than 250,000 readers) —the happiest Christmas ever! It may not sound very glamorous but the fact Is that most of the last minute Christmas shopping is done in drug stores and hardware stores. Honestly, I find then about the likeliest places in town for gifts to fill a Christmaq stocking - How about making sure now that you do take those Christmas party and Christmas eve photographs. Here are some tips on indoor photograph: Leave the room Iighs on, as they help intone sify the flash. In fact, if the walls are a dark colour, the more light the bet." ter. Your subject should be at least six feet from the camera. Discourage the subject, especially if its children from posing. Ask then to talk and don't let 1110111 stare at the camera, Be sure you take several shots of each subject. Incidentally, photoflash batteries aro far better than ordinary' flashlight bat. teries, They cost only a few pennies more but give much better results and, also, you get many more pictures per battery, So they are actually cheaper in the long run. PAGE d Tilt STANDARD Subscription Price Advance EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1st, 1956 After considerable serious thought the publishers of THE STANDARD have decided that as of January 1st, 1956, the sub- SCrilltioll Date must be raised to $2.50 per year in Canada, and $3.50 per year in the United States. The increase in o'_'•r subscription price has .become neces- sary to enable us to continue to meet increased cost of production. latest of which is the boost in newsprint. We find that if we are to continue our endeavours to improve The Standard, to the mut- ual benefit of both subscribers and advertisers, the extra cent per issue (which after all isn't very much in terms of today's general prices) becomes a necessity, and it is in line with an increase ad- opted by other district papers during the past months. Renew NOW and SAVE 50 Cents However, from now until the 31st day of December, The Standard will accept renewals of subscriptions, and new subscrip- tions at our present rate of $2.00 a year in Canada„ and $2.50 a year in the United States. Subscribers are asked to feel free to take advantage of this offer, and renew, or subscribe at the present rate before the end of 1955. The Ideal Christmas Gift There is also the suggestion that the home -town paper is one of the most appreciated Christmas Gifts that those away from home can receive. We make it one of your easiest gifts to send by mailingi for you a suitable greeting card informing the receiver of the nature of the gift and who the sender is. These gift subscrip- tions will be accepted at our present yearly rate, until the end of the year. You can save yourself $50c by paying your subscription be- fore the end of 1955. We invite you to do this. 1 The Blyth Standard rvisimmigniumminiammainommamw DEATHS RETIRED CLERIC DIES A'r BYRON ' The Rev.

Allan, Minister of Highways, has announced that motor vehicle regi.trat!on fees would be in- creased, effective January 1, 1956. Mr, Allan noted that this was the first increase in motor vehicle licensa fees In more than 18 years, a period) during which the cost of almost every- thing had doubled and the purchasing power of the dollar had been cut in half. Ile also pointed out that On• tario's road budget is now approachhne $200 million annually with the result that the increa!:ed expenditures on highways and subs:dies for municipal ihoroughferes are in excess of the rev- enues provided by the owners and op- erators of motor vehicles, Even with these Mecums in ritci, Ontario will dill have on the average, the lowest motor vehicle rates of any province. Under the new scale of registration fees for passenger cars, the pv.esent $2,00 license will, cost $3.00; the $5.0t1 license will go up to $7.00; the $10,10 will be $14.00; the $15.00 license fen will cost $21.00, Licenses for trucks and buses will be increased on a com- parable scale up to and including com- mercial vehicles of 14 tons; beyond that weight, the rate of increase will ris: more sharply. For example, the rate on n 19 -ton truck will rise from $313,50 to $502,00. The higher increases in the case o[ commercial vehicles are predicted upon studies of motor vehicle operation in Ontario which have shown that this type of vehicle derives the greatest use from the highways in relation to the revenues received from it, A great deal of study has been given to motor vehlcle rates, and particular ly those paid by commercial vehicles, Many of the American states have ad- opted new system: of fees for the trucking industry. Some have intro- duced the "ton -mile method," In many ways this is by far the most logical and equitable system, which means levying charges in accordance with the use that commercial motor vehicles make of the highways. It is the gov- ernment's intention to continue its studies of motor vehicle licensing and taxation to ensure the fullest possible equity among all motor vehicle users It is estimated teat the increases in licence fees will produce additional revenue of approximately $10 million. It should be emphasized that the De- partment of Highways is engaged upon, and is committed to, n greatly expand- ed program of highway construction and maintenance and al:sistance for municipal thoroughfares, Some auth- orities have esthnated that the vohune of motor vehicle traffic will be 50 per cent higher by 1960, and about twice as great in 1965, The additional money that will be obtained from licensing fees will help to provide bettor ser- vices and safer driving conditions fol our people, Bert Dunn of Bayfield was named pr'cs:dent of the Huron County Hol, stein Club at its annual meeting held in the Agricultural Office, Clinton on December lst, Edward Bell, of Blyth, was named ' first vice-president, and William Haugh of Clinton, second vice- president.

I met this young man over a year ago and started dating him last summer, I fell so in love, and 1 was sure he did, too , . , But now I haven't seen him for nearly two months! He is going with my best girl friend, and 1 am beside myself, Whatever shall I do? "I just cannot get him out of my mind. Everything I do, all I hear or say reminds me of him, and when I pass the res• taurants and dance places we used to visit my heart nearly stops beating. "The strange part of it is, he was married and afraid to tell me earlier, because he thought he would lose me, But I only loved him more. His div- orce came through just a month before he stopped seeing me. Now he is leaving town soon to spend the winter in the South. Of course I shall wait for him, but how can I live until spring?

Instead of resenting * his duplicity, you say you loved * him more! Now that he's been * beauing your girl friend * about, you cry, "I intend to * wait for him!" Wait for what? * To let him throw you over * next spring? Don't you know * when you are well off?

"Dear Anne Hirst: I've been going with a fine man regular- ly for almost a year and 1 am deeply in love, as he professes he is, He lives nearby, never dates anybody else and, of course, shows in many other ways how much he cares for roe, But he is 42 and I' am 20, and everybody is trying to say he is too old for me. "I will not be convinced. I've gone for three years with a lot of boys my age, but I never • did feel at home with them. This man and I seem utterly compatible, emotionally and in- tellectually, though I know the last is a lot to assume. He thinks I'm wonderful to get along with and would make any man a good wife, What do you say? 1VILIIELMINA" * If the man has not pro- * posed, why the rush to decide * —unless you want to stop see- * ing him now if you intend to * refuse him, His generalities * are all very flattering, but per- * haps you have become a habit * with him, and a convenient * one at that. * As to your ages, 1 repeat * that a good marriage de- * pends largely on ideals, tem- * perments and habits.

It is well to remember, * though, that when you are in * your prime, he will be slow- * .ing down and not so interest- * ed in an active social life as * you will be. * I wish you had told me * what your family thinks of * him.

Short Skirts Make News and Trouble Skirts constantly snake news. Because he disapproved of his fiancee's frock, a twenty -year- old Surrey soldier cut it with e razor. • When charged with injuring the girl and damaging her frock, he said her skirt was much too short. He was bound over and ordered to pay for the damage. A new law prohibiting• short skirts was introduced in Athens in 1926 and rigorously enforced. A pretty young girl was arrest- ed because her skirt was 15 in, from the ground. Police said it should not have been more than 14 in. from the ground, but the girl was allowed to go free af- ter twenty-four hours. Less than a week later the law was cancelled following the arrest of another girl. She proved to be the dainty, twen- ty - year - old daughter of a Greek judge. She had been jailed for a day for walking down the street in an' "immod- est" skirt more than 14 in. from the ground. - Lovely Spanish girls flatly refused to obey a decree by the Mayor of Almendralejo, a. town in province of Badajoz, which forbade women to wear very short skirts in .1927. Instead, they paid fines en- ' titling them to wear a short skirt for one month. Police with tape -measures were empowered to measure in, the street skirts of debatable length, Eventually that decree was cancelled, too, You can fall foul of the law for some strange thingsin dif- ferent parts of the world. An Indian girl was sentenced toga month's hard labour at New Delhi for kissing her sweetheart in a quiet alley. The youth was, fined $25.

The lawn at the side of the house is strewn with a carpet of golden winter leaves .. , - "win- ter" leaves because autumn fol. sage has long since fluttered from the trees. Popular leaves are more persistent, hanging tenac- iously to their branches until shaken earthward by a combina- tion of wind, frost and natural gravity.

I wouldn't have them as a gift, What's the good of a window if you can't see out of it sitting down — or lying down for that matter, More privacy, home- owners tell us. But imagine being sick in bed in a room with a window you couldn't.see out of, I can't imagine anything more depressing, However, everyone to his or her taste. If we all thought alike it would be a .very dull world, But sometimes, it would appear, history repeats itself, even in our thinking. Take this for instance, Dr. J. D. MacLachlan, president of the Ontario Agricultural C o 11 e g e, Guelph was addressing a Plough- man's Association banquet and expressed the belief that, to util- ize high-powered machinery ec- onimically, in the future there would be fewer farmers but big- ger farms and the cow would be regarded as just another machine; her intake and output computed in dollars and cents, In a sense, considering present high production costs , coupled with the shortage of farm labour this sounds like a logical con- clusion — and the trend to big- ger farms is obvious already. But, are we going backwards or forwards? There is more than one way of looking at the situ- ation. Cast your mind back a hun- dred years or more, Remember the immigrants • who came to Canada because here, they thougt, was a country where any man with brains, brawn and suf- ficient capital could, if he so de- sired, own the farm upon which he lived. Remember, too, that the immigrant left his native land because there he could farm only under the domination of the squire or the bailiff of an estate. There was no place for a small landowner. But in Canada sit century ago — the immigrant either applied for Crown Land or bought a farm from a previous owner. He might have little of this world's goods but his dreams were fulfilled. He had land of his own. He had acquired inde- pendence, Now, if farms in the near future are controlled by big property owners how much difference will there be between Canadian farms of tomorrow and the farms of the English gentry a hundred years ago? Conditions" have changed, — the pendulum swings back and forth, now this way, now that, But. only Father Time marks the hours„ uncon- cerned about which way the pendulum swings, knowing that eventually history repeats itself in one way or another. +4t He Gets The Bird When He Talks Mr, Thomas Wright, of Russell Street, Falkirk, Scotland, bought a bird called the "Indian Greater Hill Mynah," It was not expensive. The Wrights named him Sammy, and fed him on biscuits, raw meat, and fruit, One day, when Mr. Wright was working in his aviary, he heard a dog barking in the street. He went out to have a look. There was no dog in sight. But _ the barking started again—thLs time only a few feet from where Mr. Wright was standing. It was Sammy, And that was just the begin• ning of Sammy's impersonations. And he has a sense of humourl If you say "Cat" to Sammy, he barks furiously. Say "Dog" and Sammy miaows. Another day Mr. Wright went into the aviary and swung round when he heard the sound of a squeaking door being pulled to and the click of a lock. It was Sammy. Mr. Wright's grandson and granddaughter are often near the aviary, but sometimes when they are not there Mr. Wright hears a childish voice saying "Grandpa," Yes—Sammy again! Mr. Wright often lectures on birds, Sometimes he takes Sam- my with him, When Sammy thinks the lecture has lasted long - enough, he says loudly; "Come awa" — in a Falkirk accent you could not mistake, TOOTHSOME MORSEL — Mush rooms go well with any dish - including "cheesecake".

TNECa.tVett SPURTS COLUMN 4 Elmo 9otepaos • When Pasquale "Pat" Abbruzzt, a stocky footballer from Warren, Rhode Island, scored 19 touch -downs for the Montreal Alouettes, and gained 1277 yards yards by hurling his thickset body through the Big Four opposition — both records — he proved among other things that physical handicaps can be overcome. For Abbruzzi, who is but 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 205 pounds, has one arm three inches shorter than the other and a pair of legs that would look better on a grand piano than on an athlete. But you can't beat whatever desire a boy may form in his heart, whether it's the desire to be a painter, an author, or an athlete, And Pasquale Abbruzzi developed a love for football when most kids were learning about blocks. He was different, IV already knew about blocks and was studying' tackles. ale The fact that he had four brothers who played football failed to smooth his path to stardom. For Ma Abbruzzi was determined that her fifth son wouldn't enter adolescence as a candidate for medical science. She'd had her share of watching her boys come home on Saturdays with an assort- ment of Injuries. Firmly, but with motherly tenderness she Raid, "Pasquale, no football." That made life rough for a kid growing up in a small town in which his brothers were considered Crowleys, Laydens, Millers and Stuhldrehers — all rolled' into one. But the urge to play was too strong and he joined the kids in a sandlot game. Of the 22 lads on the field, Pasquale was the only one who was forbidden to play. So perhaps ft was Fate that he should break an arm. Fearful of ache consequences, he concealed the injury for a week 'until the pain became unbearable and nis moans attracted his mother's attention. Surgery corrected the injury but it left him with a short arm, Lite rolled swiftly for Pasquale after that. His mother's silence was mute consent that he could continue. Be went on to overshadow his brother Duge at Providence, decided to; throw in his professional lot with the Alouettes and became a star overnight.

Aren't inef- fifciency, c a r .1 e s s n e a s, bad management, and wasteful working methods helping to make things dearer? A plane flies to New York and back 'in a day.. A Stockport manufacturer comments acidly that he's more interested in "the time taken by goods per British Railways from Hulme, Manches- ter, to Stockport: seven days for seven miles." A Londoner sending goods by rail was told they'd be collected on a certain day. The van didn't turn up, and he had to phone a reminder. "After the goods had gone, they called twice more to collect them," he writes. "And the goods landed at the wrong station and stayed there a fort- night," The railways have no monopo- ly of muddle, A householder wanted a small extra gas cook- er. Two men examined the pipes and found there wasn't cuff- clent pressure. The order was cancelled. . Then two men and a boy arrived with the cooker. They took it away again, but that didn't stop a man and a boy turning up to fix it. Later two more men were sent along to collect the cooker^"delivered in . error," Building costs keep going up. No wonderI Here's a picture of Inride of craft and' co-operation the building industry by a doctor who had a hquse built SNIP • recently and went along occas- ionally to see how the work was getting on: "The painter starts painting, and then the carpenter comes and rips up the work he has done, The plasterer scatters his plaster with gay abandon over the new woodwork, but the painter just goes on painting. The plumber arrives and drives his nails through the water - pipes and the electrical circuits," Repairs cost more, too. That's one reason council houserents are rising. But often the tenants who grumble. most about that could help to prevent it if only them- selves, see to simple jobs em - selves, instead of calling in the maintenance men. The chairman of Newcastle-upon-Tyne 'Hous- ing Management Committee thinks their laziness is adding about 4180,000 a year to main- tenance costs.

Took A Holiday "You have come all this way," said Prime Minister Win- ston Churchill to President Roosevelt. "You really must not go back without spending a night or two in Marrakesh." It was January, 1943, and the two great men were chatting informally during their historic conference at Casablanca,•short- ly after the landing in North Africa. Marrakesh was Winston's fa- vourite holiday resort. And he knew of a villa there — a. very beautiful villa. The President was not sure he could spare the time, ,but at last he was persuaded. The vil- la, he was told, was built by an American lady, named'• Mrs. Taylor, and was occupied at that moment by the American Vice Consul, . Mr. Kenneth Pander. The President thought that per- haps' they could arrange to stay for a night' there, But before this could be undertaken the villa had to be examined, for security purposes. The American Vice -Consul was summoned to Casablanca. The .villa, itself' was visited by various security officials. The grounds 'were carefully inspect- ed. The villa stands in relative isolation in extensive grounds of its own, with high walls that shut it off from the rest of the town. There is only one en- trance and it was felt that it would be reasonably safe. The villa's attractions had not been exaggerated. It is a mod- ernized version of a Moroccan castle with thick walls of pink plaster. There is one large spreading' building dominated by a high tower. There are two inner court- • yards' containing lovely gard- ens of orange trees, geraniums and bougainvillaea, together with black marble fountains all indirectly lit, which gives them A strangely magical , effect by night. The gardens cover about four acres of• ground. There are olive trees, fountains, rivulets and a pool, which when seen from the top of the tower, sparkles like a square -cut emerald in the Moroccan sunlight. A great deal of work had to be done to get the place ready for the visit, Ramps had to be THIS IS TOUCH TACKLE? -looks more like "clutch" tackle.

In the grounds anti-aircraft guns were install- ed and telephones were attach- ed to many of the trees with guards stationed beside them. The code used by those work- ing in the villa referred to Roosevelt as "Al" and Churchill as "Bl Telephones were also installed in every bedroom to connect the two great leaders and their staffs with the the- atres of war. When the conference ended at Casablanca, Winston Church- ill and President . Roosevelt, wearing overcoats, set out to- gether in a large limousine, which was painted a drab olive. They sat in the back seat to- gether with a plain clothes man beside the driver in front. A hamper waspacked with their lunch, which they had on the way down. It helped to break up the long journey, which took f{,ye hours, The en- tire route from Casablanca to Marrakesh, all 150, miles of it across desert sand, was lined by American troops — many thousands of them. At last came the final report on the car's progress: "The party is now turning towards the villa and should arrive there in . a few minutes." The Prime Minister alighted first; • the President had to be assisted' into' his chair and was wheeled through the garden to the terrace. They sat there for a while lookingout on to the lovely green pool set between two large cedar trees. Tea was then served. The Prime Minister, who had"' been to Marrakesh before, went in after tea'' and climbed to the top of the tower to see the glo- rious view of the Atlas Moun- tains, which rise to a height of 12,000 " feet beyond the , noise and clamour of the bazaar. ,Churchill came down exhila- rated and said to the President, "We are most anxious, sir, for you to : see the view from the top of the tower. Do you think you could be persuaded to make the trip?" TI?e President re- plied, "I , have every intention of going . up there if my men will be kind' enough to take me." • The wheel -chair was too wide to negotiate.the winding stair-, way, so the President was car- ried up the sixty steps to the top.
