An, Egg TO, End All -Eggs
Alien among the flock at Joe Shad-
dick's farm, Londesboro, caught the
true festive spirit this year, so much
so that her effort may be her own un-
doing, , -
During Christmas and New Year's
weeks said biddy made two supre ne
.effprts, and on;the•,second attempt,
Mrs. Shaddick- thought sine; should be
rewarded with some publicity, So she
brought the egg to The *Standard Of-
fice for official' inspection. We were
dumfounded. The egg measured 8. in-
ches in circumference and 93/4 inches
oblong, We opened it and found inside
the outer shell•the contents of any or-
dinary
rdinary egg -plus another perfectly
formed egg shell of -A-Large, size which
we also cracked open to find its con-
tents perfectly normal. We haven't
seen a goose egcpince we were a lad
at Home on the farm, but from mem-
ory the original egg compared favour-
ably with a large: goose egg.
The hen, a Red Sussex cross born
last spring put forth her first effort
between Christmas and New Years
which Mrs. Shaddick informs us was
even larger than, the second, measur-
ing 83/4 inches in circumference. "I
thought I'd better bring the second one
to • show you," ;'alhe. said, , "otherwise
you might think': I. was spoofing."
We venture the suggestion it was no
spoofing matter for friend biddy, who
if she survives' her. effort, ;wethink
should he retired Pty the Shaddick's,
or at least she should be allowed to
lecture the rest of the flock on "bigger
and better egg production"

, Rev, Dren deyries was the special
speaker at the, Women's Institute meet-
ing in the •Memorial Hall on Thursday
afternoon •of last week.
• Mr, deVrles held his listeners spell-
bound as hetold of his harrowing ex-
periences while he was a member of
the underground in Holland during the
war years, He asked his audience :to
keep, in mind the words of St, Paul,
When he said "Where the Spirit of the
Lord is, there is liberty", and stated
in .part; "Perhaps Holland didn't ap-
preciate he's' liberty until war carne in
the witl�ter of 1939, and was even' not
too much concerned until it developed
that Holland might become involved by
April 1940, ; then they hurriedly tried
to prepare, Weupons were outdated,
planes were mainly training planes,
and Holland lost 4,000 soldiers and
30,000 civilians in, fohr days," but Mr.
and Mrs, deVrles continued their work
for the underground until the termin-
ation of -the war.
Mr, deVries told of the conflict, hard-
ships and dangers they were expected to
stating in Amsterdam 10,000 people
starved to death. A bag of potatoes
cost $150.00 and they subsisted for six
months of an unusually cold winter on
cooked sugar beets and cabbage. Mr,
deVrles closed his address by quoting
thd..theme he had chosen, and stating,
Do we in Canada realize what the free-
dom we enjoy means? Our liberty
even here in Canada could be taken
away over night, just as it was in Hol-
land. 1 We should deeply appreciate
our liberty."
The program was in charge of Mrs.
Lorne Scrimgeour, convenor of Histor•
teal Research, who read Mother Ship•
ton's Prophecy, written and published
for the first time in England in 1485,
The Roll Call, "A hat I .remember"
caused a lot of merriment, Descriptions
were given of draped hats, plunged hats,
some metallic trimmed, others with
fruit, some so large. that the driver in
a top buggy had to drive with his own
head out of the side of the' buggy, An-
other one was so large the wearer had
to turn sidewise to go through the door
way of a street car.

Farm Forums Discuss
Price Supports Impact
On January 9th, 3U adults of the Hut -
lett Fireside Farm Forum met at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Rot. Jamieson
to discuss the Support Prices, Four
groups were formed,
First Question: We think sections A;
B and C all apply to the same people,
and should nit be answered much the
same way. Wage earners are also con-
sumers and taxpayers,_ Support prices
assuage continuity of supply of products
which are under support for some
time, Price support as supplied under
the Act level out the high and low
prices through the year. Support costs
are payed by all the taxpayers In ad-
dition to any higher price the consum-
er must pay, These extra charges cov-
er handling, storage, etc. Consumers
should not object too much to the high-
er prices, They must pay for a com-
modity under price support as the pros-
perity of all in an agricultural country
depend very largely on the prosperity
v; the farmer, 'Price supports, as pres•j
ently set, afford producers a- price
which in the majority of casts keeps
.the farmer in business, These are
some ' suggestions we offered; Some
thought price supports provide a means
as a trend for farmers to depend on
and give him greater confidence in
farming plans, for example, most far-
mers believe they can produce all ,the
hogs they can at the present price of
23c per hundred weight, What would
happen if the embargo on United States
hogs was lifted. Would there not have
to be immediate price adjustments or
would our Government not be buying
all the Canadian pork and Canadian
consumers be buying -United States
pork from chain stores. Should there
not have been a question on farmers'
opinions as to how the price support
plans would effect the creamery, egg -
grading station, the packers, Co -Op re-
tailers, etc„ and how it effects their
take home pay. Mr, Wilfred Whyte of

was built. - named. -
Story of Auburn Bidt41he
"Mighty Maitland" Recounted
(BY CHARLES ASQUITH)
One year ago, ..Dec, 301h, 1955, the
new four -span, $200,000 'I', Roy Patter-
son Memorial Bridge was officially
opened. We Auburnites were very
much pleased that Mrs, T. Roy Pat-
terson was given the honour of cut-
ting the ribbon and declaring the,
bridge open. The bridge was now al-
most reached such a state of complet-
ion, with the sides of the approaches
nicely sodded or made green by the
very successful use of cut screw as a
mulch -seeding, that the County of Hu-
ron is about ready to transfer this fine
modern structure over to this commun-
ity as bur very own. At least, in name
and location. For years to come, it will
be• known as the Patterson Memorial
Bridge, It was most fitting for the
county to build this bridge last year to'
mark the centenary of the founding of
Manchester in: 1854,
When. this area was first taken up
the settlers had to find their own
means of crossing the Maitland, but
when:Mr. Eneas Elkin in•1851-took up
the farnig on the nortli•west- -corner of
Hullett, which , is now the Arthur
Grange farm, he :established a ferry
service operated by. his wife during
the day (when; the men were busy
clearing the land, or doing other pi-
oneer work). Just where Mrs. Elken
operated her ferry. is unknown, but we
believe it would be perhaps a little
north of where the dant was built. The
east bank of the river is not high here
and the location was convenient to the
Elkin..honle on top of the hill,
IWhen Mr. Elkin made his survey of
Manchester, that part of the village south
of the Wawanosh and Hullett boun-
dary, he named the street running
north and south along the .river "Malt.'
land Terrace." The map of George
Fulton's survey, the north-east part of
Manchester, made in 1858, shows the
site of the firatt government bl•idge as
at the foot of Elgin Street (or the hlg
hill), but this would have required a
very high bridge or very steep ap-
preach from the east side. The engin-
eers in charge solved this problem, as
has been done on a number of bridges
on the main Maitland, by having the
roads approaching the bridge assume
part of the grade. To this end, in 1858,
about half an acre of land west of
Maitland Terrace was purchased from
Mr. Elkin and the . eastern approach
to a new bridge was made about one
hundred yards south of Elgin Street.
There is not in existence any photo-
graph of the first bridge built in 1859,
but Belden's Atlas of Huron County,
written 20 years later, states: "The
Maitland, River is spanned at Auburn
by a fine wood truss bridge which
rests, on substantial stone piers; the
cost of this bridge was $10,500,00, it
being with the most expensive in the
county, with one exception."
Belden's account may lead one to be -
'the that the piers were built entirely
of stone, but from accounts given by
d .,
olresidents who remember the first'
bridge quite well they consisted of crib
work illed with stone and rested 'en
stone foundations. The cribs were
made of heavy oak plonk placed flat
side, one on top of another, and held
together ,by massive spikes or heavy
drift pins of iron.
Ono day in the spring of 1884, five
yearn after Belden's Atlas was writ-
ten, two young men of Auburn, Joseph
Lawson and William Sturdy, were on
the bridge unconcernedly watching the
Ice go out when suddtnly, to, their
great consternation, they realized that.
the bridge was being carried clown
Istream, They. raced for- the eastern
approach bui-a gap of four or five feet
confronted them , which, fortunately,
they were able to overcome with a
gond running broad jump. Np doubt
the lore of the bridge was caused by
t the collapse of the centre pelr, which
• I had been placed about midstream. The
ectad the same year showed gond
judgment in planning the project by
building a very long span from the •
east side and a short span on the west
end. . This placed the supporting pier
well across the deep part of the river
and allowed for replacement . of the
short.west span, in case trouble devel-
oped on that side of the river. The
two fine abutments and supporting pier
were built by Joseph Naegle, a fine ""
gentleman and a good craftsman, who
had learned his trade In Germany be-
fore coming to Huron and settling in
Colborne Township, The stones were
quarried by Mr. Naegle just south of
Ball's bridge and 'were dressed by Wit'.
liam Webber, who had also ,learned his .
trade in Germany. The, stone struc-
tures were built on piles driven about
eight feet below the bottom of deeply •
excavated pits. The pile driver was %-
operated by horses, During - the con-
struction of the bridge a ferry service
was provided by George Dawson and
Gerry McBrten. Since its completion,
the. small western span. -was: replaced
by -a longer, one:in 1898; and this.by---r-•a
a still longer one In '1912, -but the: east-
ern span was demolished a few weeks
ago, After the floor and joists. were
removed, 'the slenderness of the frame
work became apparent and -made its
old friends -very proud of its wonder-
ful service of 70 years, especially' it:;
ability during later years- to carry
safely loads that its designers never
dreamed feasible. Many have won-
dered as to the printing on a nnentor•
ial plate at the top of the east end, too
high to be read from .the ground, now
that it is down we have learned it
stated: "Erected 1884; Warden, Alex
S, Gibson; Road Commission, C. Gir-
vin, L. Hardy, G. Elliott; County Clerk,
Peter Adamson,"
Readers will be inclined to ask the
cause of so much trouble at the west-
ern end of the bridge, One contrib-
uting feature was that at Auburn, not-
ure was not as kind as at some other
bridge sites where the . rock conics
right up to surface and affords foun-
dations that • defy undermining which'
was the real cause of 'so many abut-
ment failures at the west side,

If they were respectable wo-

EACH GIRL IS FOOLED
"These home -wreckers have
only to refuse to see married
men to save themselves a lot of
heartaches and regret. Each girl
thinks the man she goes with
loves her so much he will leave
his wife and children, , When
he tires of her he'll go back to
his wife, or start seeing another
woman and hand her the same

Buried Alive
In olden tines a grim method '
of execution was to bury the ac-
cused alive. If what we hear •
about present-day China is true,:
the method has been brought
up to date. It is said that ene-
mies of the regime are made to
dig their own graves, then they•
are forced to stretch themselves
in the narrow trench and earth
is thrown on top of them, If
the guard is feeling merciful
they may get a bullet first.
But what of those people who
have buried themselves? In
Tsarist times twenty-five mem-
bers of a fanatical Russian sect,
the "Old Believers," let them-
selves he buried alive when they
heard there was to be a new
national census -which meant
registration for military- service.
But the weirdest case was
that of the eslf-styled "Marquis
de Champauberl," an ingenious
Franck crook, He had written
his memoirs and thought of a
publicity stunt to help sell his
hook. He alleged that a secret
society which punished crimin-
als who escaped the law Was
after his blood.
in October, 1929, he arranged
to be buried alive in a newly
made coffin, but n message was
to be 3ent to the police in time
to dig him up, still breathing,
and so create a sensation, But
'something went wrong -- when
they came for him he was dead,
his clothes torn to shreds in his
struggles.
Sometimes a brother or a
sister can be n big help in put-
ting the subject at ease,
Well, was it a good Christmas
at your house? Or! were you cel-
ebrating away from home? Quite
likely. As' families grow 'up par-
ents
and married children often
take it in turn to hold Christ-
mas. In our .family.,our. young
married folk like to start Christ-,
mas in their own 'homes and
then come to the old farm house
for noonday. Christmas dinner.
But I'must tell you more about
that in a later column. Right
now it is time to wish you a
very Happy New Year, which I
do with all my heart.
I suppose we are all glad to
greet that innocent -looking lit-
tle cherub whom we have come
to accept as symbolic of the
New Year. Perhaps he is respon-
sible for the feeling we get as
we approach the new,‘Arear -- a
feeling that sort of fills. u ,.}with
renewed hope, optimism 'and all
kinds of good intentions. After
all, isn't the New Year like an
unopened book, with twelve un-
written chapters? As time passes
we ourselves shall help to write
those Chapters just as we helped
to write' those of 1955. Chapter
and verse are not always written
the way we expect or want them
to be, because so often fate
guides and controls our hand
even as we write. Nevertheless
greeting the New Year is a joy-
ous occasion, Is there anything
lovelier than to hear church
bells ringing out across the
frosty night, welcoming the new
born year.
"Ring out the old, ring in the
new
Ring, happy bells across the
snow
• The year is going; let him go
Ring out the false, ring in the
true."
When Tennyson wrote those
charming words people used to
listen for the church bells to
usher in the New Year. But
now, alas, too soften the peal of
the bells is drowned by the
noise of horns blowing, whistles
shrieking, clappers " and other
rowdy celebrations that seem to
be the modern way of greeting
the New Year. Customs. in other
lands sometimes seem very
strange to us yet many 'of them
are far more romantic and cer-
tainly less noisy than our own.
For instance, in Spain, pn New
Year's eve Almeria grapes are
pulled from their stems and put
into bags' twelve grapes to a
hag, In , restaurants patrons are
handed. a grape -bag, and they
can also be bought from ven-
dors on the street. At the first
stroke of midnight . Spaniards
who believe in the old supersti-
tion try to swallow all twelve
grapes, one at each strike of the
clock. Good luck for the coming
year depends on the number of
grapes a person can swallow.
If two or three are left over it
means that a corresponding
number of months will elapse
before good fortune begins,
In Russia New 'Year's is the
day on which gifts and greetings
are exchanged. Fir trees are set

Kensington Palace Does A Come•Back
In all the heart of London
only one royal palace stands
embowered in green parklaid,
Shopping streets actually flank
the southern walls of Bucking-
ham Palace and King George V
once seriously considered selling
it for $10,000,000 to convert into
offices. But he longed to live in
tranquil Kensington Palace, now
to be the wonderful new home
of the Duchess of Kent,
Not so long agq Kensington
Palace was slipping in.o ghast-
ly disrepair, The • walls were
bulging—according to a report
—the rafters rotting and the old
panelled walls and painted ceil-
ings slowly crumbling in decay,
The Duke of Edinburgh spent
the last night of his bachelor-
hood in Kensington Palace but
the servants found the scrubbed
board floors creaking so badly
that they tiptoed about for fear
they would wake him too soon,
The Duke stayed in the palace
flat occupied by his grandmo-
ther, the Dowager Marchioness
et Milford Haven. But her rooms
are now a ghost suite, empty
and echoing. It is not idly that
Kensington has been called the
"sleeping beauty" palace. When
an official took stock of the hun-
dreds of rooms, at least four out
M live were empty.
Yet Kensington Palace has
been a royal home for 250 years
and for over a century it was
the chief official home of roy-
alty, just as Buckingham Palace
is today, King William III found
the London smog so trying to
breathe that he bought the pal-
ace when it was called Notting-
ham House, rural home of the
Zarl of Nottingham,
At $55,000 purchase price it
seems a bargain, But William
spent ten times this sum in five
years in making improvements.
He had scarcely begun a new
wing than the walls fell down,
killing eight workmen, and then
a disastrous fire meant that much
of the work had to be done all
over again,
Like William, Queen Anne
died in the palace. Queen Vic-
toria was born there. When
George II was living there as
tlovereign, his wife laid out the
gardens. Convinced that she was'
paying the bills out of her privy
ppuurrse, the King never inter-
bred, He had a rude shock after
her death when he examined
hint bank accounts and found the
Queen had drawn park money
to the tune of $100,000,
Today Kensington Palace is
the only royal residence in Lon-'
don with state apartments regu-
larly open to the public. You
can stand in the very room
where Victoria, as an eighteen -
year -old girl, stood in dressing -
gown and shawl to receive the
news that she was Queen of
England. You can see her doll's
house, a truly enchanting relic,
er you can shiver in a room so
draughty that King William
caught pneumonia when he fell
asleep there,
There is, a staircase that was
thought to be made of ebony
until restorers tried to dean it
and discovered the black was
!merely dirt. So much dirt and
rubbish was taken out of the
palace during the clean-up for
the Duchess of Kent's suite that
# took twenty truck loads to
tart it all away.
When King George VI allotted
the Duchess a twenty -two -room
suite in the Palace as a grace -
and -favour residence, he warned
her that it would take time to
put it into shape—and as the
Duchess viewed her ,new home
MERRY MENAGERIE
"Pardon. me. Could you direct
`me to the nearest belfry?"
300 BILLION DOLLARS;
it must have been one of the
most depressing experiences of
her We,
The suite had been occupied
for a quarter of a century of
widowhood by Queen Victoria's
daughter, Princess Louise, and
left untenanted for another ten
years, Dust and cobwebs lay
thick,
"No longer suitable for human
habitation" was the verdict,
There were staircases wide as
stables, chilling corridors along
which all coal and water had to
he car'r'ied, and rooms that led
into one another in gloomy vis-
tas,
The walls were damp and mil-
dewed—and no wonder, for very
little light came through the
grimy latticed windows, Above
the ceilings could be heard the
soft tap of the death-watch
beetle,
The Duchess of Kent had the
help of experts, of course, Angry
questions were asked in Parlia-
ment when the Office of Works
bought a $2,500 Adam mantel-
piece to grace her drawing -room.
The $200,000 spent in repairs has
also been criticized,
if you look carefully you can
spot the Duchess's windows from
the Park, for they are draped in
white -frilled nylon, an enchant-
ing modern touch. And every-
where in these redecorated, re -
planned rooms is grace
If you could walk down the
blue -carpeted corridor you
would be charmed by the white
paintwork. The yellow ceilings
are intended to create a sun-
shine effect even on a dull No-
vember day,
The drawing -room is a won-
' der'land of gold and white. The
settees have been upholstered
in gold, and pieces of antique
furniture which were wedding
gifts have been brought out of
store after thirteen years. Prin-
cess Alexandra has a separate
sitting -room in which she can
entertain her own friends with
a modern radiogram.
Upstairs are six bedrooms, but
two of these are small guest
bedrooms. The Duchess's bed-
room is carpeted in cherry, with
curtains of white and red -flow-
ered chintz to set the theme, and
a bedspread of pure white satin.
Princess Alexandra has chosen
a white wallpaper patterned
with pink and red carnations. By
contrast, the young Duke of
Kent and Prince Michael have
austerity rooms.
The Duchess of Kent's wing
of Kensington Palace has be-
come as glamorous and beauti-
ful a home as the similarly re-
modelled Clarence House. And
now, needless to say, • there are
other kinsfolk of the Royal Fam-
ily who have been eyeing the
remaining vacant suites and
gently hinting that they too
would welcome the grace -and -
favour of these desirable royal
residences.

They Tried To Fool Their Fellow Crooks
A couple of seedy rogues —
"Lord and Lady Scot" as they
called themselves — were great-
ly interested in the newspaper
accounts of the newly -arrived
Count Cagliostro, a self-styled
alchemist. They were particu-
larly teen to get their' hands on
magical ' Egyptian manuscript
which, it was rumoured, could
perform all manner of marvels
and could even predict winning
lottery numbers — eighteen cen-
tury equivalent of our Pools.
The Count was only too eager
to advertise hiniselt, through
newspaper interviews. For he
had come to England to fleece
credulous — and wealthy —
mugs,
So when the Scots read all
about the Cagliostros having
taken furnished apartments at
a Mrs. Juliet's No. 4, Whitcomb
Street, Pall Mall, they made a
note to mark down the Count
for plunder.
The Scot's chance to meet the
Count came when his landlady
suggested that an impecunious
Portuguese lady, Madame Ble-
vary, would like 40 earn a trifle
acting as interpreter for Coun-
tess Cagiostro, who knew no
English.
The Cagliostros Were exceed-
ingly kind to Madame Blevary
and when she brought along a
starving ex -Jesuit seminarist,
named Vitellini, introducing him
as a fellow -countryman of the
Count's who could teach Eng-
lish, the Cagliostros welcomed
the man, and took pity on his
obvious poverty.
Now the Scots' chance had
arrived. For Vitellins was not
only poor and grossly dishonest,
but he was also very thick with
the Scots, He introduced them
to Madame. Blevary as two im-
poverished 'Scottish' aristocrats
who really deserved to know, the
secret of predicting lottery num-
bers. For good measure, Vitel-
lini promised Madame Blevary
a cut on the profits if she could
arrange to introduce the Scots
to the Count.
After some trouble — for the
Count showed a curious reluc-
tance to meet strangers whom
he himself had not marked down
for prey -- Madame Blevary
managed to effect an introduc-
tion.
And from that moment "Lady
Scot" — actually Mary Fry, the
jailbird — began ,to worry the
life out of poor Alessandro di
Cagliostro for a winning lot-
tery number.
The cream of the jest in this
priceless example of diamond
cut diamond is that the Scots
believed' implicitly in all the
fancy claims that the Count had
made for himself, The Count, of
course, knew that his claims
were no more than a device
to part the wealthy riches.
But he saw, too, with alarm
that he would be forced to give
some sort of answer to the ex-
tremely importunate Lady Scot.
The Count — brought up in the
slums of Palermo — could tell
a dangerous type when he met
her. And he recognized just that
in this demure but demoniacally
obstinate woman.
In desperation, though he
hadn't enough real confidence in
his psychic powers to predict to-
morrow's weather, he told her
what his magic book had turn-
ed, up for the next lottery.
The Count and Countess had
arrived in London from Portu-
gal In July of 1776. The first
number that he gave to Lady
Scot was for the draw on No-
vember 14th,
She and her confederate ,didn't
stake much on this first number,
But they were not at all sur-
prised when the number come
up and launched thein on an
amazing run of good fortune,
(It wns the Count who was as-
tonished!)
Now their pressure increased;
the hent was well and truly ons
In spite of his refusal to give
another number, the Count was
forced by the Scots — now
backed up by Blevary and Vi-
tellini — to give "just one more
number,"
Two days later, November
16th, number 20 turned up —
exactly as the Count had pre-
dicted. On November 17th, his
predicted number — 25 — net-
ted the Scots $65. And with the
turning up of two numbers, 55
and 57, on the following day the
Scots netted over $2,5001
The Count, certain that this
run ' of luck could not possibly
continue, refusedpoint-blank to
predict any more numbers. But
he had reckoned without the
Scots.
For the first time in their un-
scrupulous lives they had touch-
ed "honest" money. And they
were not going to be sent back
to dangerous criminality if they
could help it.
But when the Count refused to
receive them, Lady Scot forced
her way into Countess Sera-
phina's room and sobbed out a
lying story about her husband
having abandoned her, with 3
starving children on her hands.
The tender-hearted Countess
got one more number out of the
angry Count, and sent the tear-
ful woman away with it — num-
ber eight for the December 7th
lottery — after pressing a gui-
nea into her hand.
The Scots put everything that
they could raise on this num-
ber. And the Count must have
felt faint indeed when he heard
that it had won them over
$3,500,
This big win started a life of
persecution for Count Cagliostro
which must have almost made
him wish that he were back in
some Palermo jail. In despera-
tion, he and his wife moved to
Great Suffolk Street. But Mary
Fry took a room in the same
house and by a trick got the
Countess to accept a necklace,
and then had the Count arrest-
ed for "stealing" it. She even
brought an action against him
for practising witchcraft, so that
her friends could break into his
laboratory and steal his precious
manuscript while he was ans-
wering the charge.
When the rogues could not
read what it contained — and
it would have been difficult for
anyone since it was pure gib-
berish — they broke into the
Count's room and held a loaded
pistol to his breast, demanding
the secret.
Only the knowledge that there
was no secret gave the Count
courage to refuse their request,
"My stay in England has cost
me over $9,0001" he declared —
and decided to leave London.
But this he could do only with
the consent of the Scots. Arrest
on trumped-up charges was only
too easy a way to keep him in
England for ever.
Finally, the Scots, realizing
that they could not get the
"secret" of the manuscript,
agreed to let the Count leave
the country in return for enough
lottery numbers to provide thein
with a fortune.
For good measure, hoping to
teach them a good lesson and
praying that he would never
clap eyes on thein again, he gave
the first half-dozen numbers
that came into his head.
Then, before the first of them
could fail to come up—as he was
convinced they all would fail—
he and his wife hurried off to
France.
Sitting In his dungeon many
years later—condemned to a life
imprisonment from which he
was to emerge only in his cof-
fin — t he wretched "Count
Alessandro di Cagliostro" must
have wondered why he had got
into trouble by pretending to
have magical powers when, in
fact, he really did have them.
For how otherwise can one
explain how those last six reck-
lessly chosen numbers all turn-
ed up? Numbers which had en-
abled the confidently plunging
Scots to net a fortune of over
$150,000,
GOOD LOOKS
"Don't judge a book by its
cover" goes an old saying. Like-
wise the appearance of a fabric
is no assurance that it will
wear well.
The right amount of sizing in
a fabric can enhance the look
and feel of the material. But
sometimes sizing may be used
to 'fill out' a fabric and skimp
on the actual amount of yarn
used, Sizing of this kind is very
often soluble in water, and one
or more washings will get rid
of it, leaving the fabric limp
and lifeless,
Water soluble sizing is often
affected even by the slight
moisture present in dry clean-
ing. And the job of removing
spots and stains is made much
More difficult.
The Canadian Research Insti-
tute of Launders and Cleaners,
which conducts regular tests
on a wide variety of fabrics,
says that taffetas have been a
chief offender. They warn too
of linens that have been heavily
starched. Here again the excess
starch will wash out leaving the
linens looking very forlorn.
One simple but effective test
may be used to show up excess
sizing that has been used to
conceal poor quality, Just rub a
portion of the fabric between
your fingers, If excess sizing has
been used, a trace of white
powder will usually appear,
Remember too that when buy-
ing a garment or cloth where a
crisp effect is desirable, it's
best to ask the question — will
this article stay crisp after
cleaning?
Animal Toppers
A southern farmer recently
complained to a sheriff that his
Jersey cows came home the
other week so drunk that they
couldn't be milked. Seems the
animals had a little party down
by a stream into which had been
spilled gallons of whisky from
an illicit still. Two men were
arrested.
1955 was quite a year for ani-
mal binges. In January a mon-
key started the ball rolling by
getting tipsy on a bottle of
Benedictine, Eighteen -inch tall
Jokko staggered around the
house in Southend where he
lives, found a pair of nylon
panties, put them on and tot-
tered off out of the house and
down the road.
Passing children were delight-
ed, but a man yanked Jokko
off to the police station where
they put him in jail until Our
Dumb Friends' League turned
up to bail him out,
In September last an animal
ambulance was called to Sam-
my, an eighteen - month - old
pony, who was skipping and
dancing about a field blind
drunk, But it wasn't really
Sammy's fault, he had merely
been eating some fermented po-
tato peelings he found on the
small -holding in Romford, Es-
sex,'
When he had finished, he*
the
walked .uu�ti3>«IiiM� """"
where his owners found him
later .. , on his knees.
It took eight men to carry
Sammy away to sober up.

-STORY OF AUBURN
BRIDGE •
(Continued from page 1)
river beds tend to fix their coarses
but after these trees have been cut off
they revert to their former traits, Be
fore the timber was cut off at the sharp
turn previously mentioned the water
came down the river above Auburn
gracefully and wound its way right to
the bank at the foot of Elgin Street,
and many old residents can remembe•:
when there were no gravel deposits at
this point. Shortly after the 1884 bridge
was built the river started to round off
this sharp turn. This had a double
effect as some of the gravel washed
out at the point came down stream and
settled opposite the foot of Elgin Street
and with a clearer ixassage up above,
the down stream had more energy and
started to erode the vbest hank, just
about where the new 1054 bridge has
been built, and carry the gravel wash-
ed out to the cast side of the river.
This process continued until the spring
of 1698 when a heavy flood undermin•
ed the north wing of the western stone
abutment and. caused it to slip Into
the river.

chores and bush work, although con-
tinued snow falls have made bush work
difficult, Each year there is an rn-

This Is Painting '
Just For Pleasure
Water colour is just the medi-
um for certain landscape effects,
and it is therefore understand-
able that the majority of water-
colour paintings should be of
landscape subjects. In fact the
English school of painting is
famous throughout the world
for its water-colour landscape
artists,
Starting with the early topo-
graphical pictures, in which
artists painted detailed views of
country mansions in their park-
land settings, or recorded castles,
monuments, and definite beauty
spots for patrons who wished to
have pictorial records (just as
photography is now used), this

we have swift, fresh pictures of
the fleeting effects of nature:
windy skies with floating clouds,
rain storms blowing up in the
hilly country, sunset and sun-
rise, boats in sail on sea or estu-
ary or river. It is naturally un-
wise to use a medium such as
water colour to give all the full
tones of actuality, for its charm
is in the very lightness and
transparency ot the liquid
washes of paint put upon the
sparkling whiteness of the paper
surface . .
If the day Is windy, see that
you are near shelter with a wall
or thick hedge or group of trees
to give protection from the gusts.
It is unfortunate that these win-
dy, changeable days are often
the ideal ones for water-colour
pictures. Hot days of glorious
sunshine are not really the best
ones for this medium in many
respects, for the very energy in
the changeable days give impe-
tus to the painter, and it is the
quick emotional effect that
water-colour can convey so well,
Admittedly on damp days the
washes of colour do 'not -;dry
quickly, but that is one of the
snags of the art, and one has
to learn great patience from the
outset.
It is no use trying to'hurry the.

wash with the old ones still wet,
Every medium has its particular
difficulties which only experI-
ence can overcome — trial and

Union Objected to Monkey's Speed
Discovering that his pet mon-
key could shin up fruit trees
and pick cherries faster than
any man, a Kent fruit farmer
allowed it to join a gang of fruit,
pickers in his Ashford orchards.
The little animal astounded
everyone by its speed and effi-
ciency,
Only when members of the
union objected that the mon-
key's example might put ideas
into employers' heads, was the
animal " banished.
Monkeys love to imitate hu-
mans, so we conclude that they
lack the brain power to think
for themselves. But there is evi-
dence to show that chimpanzees,
the most intelligent of all apes,
can reason.
That great friend of chimpan-
zees, Reuben Castang, tells many
stories to prove that his cronies
can think. One day he hurled
an orange at Moritz, his favour-
ite, who picked it out of the air
like a test cricketer.
"Balance it on your head,"
said Reuben, and Moritz tried
— once, twice, three times. Each
time the orange fell to the
ground. So Moritz picked it up,
regarded it for a second or two,
then bit a piece out of one end
and balanced it perfectly with
the flat part on his head l
"The monkey's hand," he
states, "is a remarkable instru-
ment when considered in con-
junction with its eye and brain.
Think of the electronics neces-
sary to produce a machine ca-
pable
a-
pable of plucking an orange
from . a tree without wrecking
the tree. It would take kilowatts
of power to operate it," Yet a
monkey weighing only forty
pounds, and costing little more
than the price of a pound of
nuts a day, could do the job.
Sir George says that the mon-
key is one of the best bargains
nature has offered us, and we
should make use of him.
In India and the Far East so
much counterfeiting take place
that when given a coin a shop-
keeper flips it in the air with
his thumb to test the ring as it
bounces. Some banks employ
apes to test coins by biting them,
and their judgment is 100 per
cent accurate.
Monkeys have in the past been
trained to climb trees and throw
down coconuts and do all sorts
of mechancial work that merely
requires repetition.
Dr. John B. Wolfe of the Uni-
versity of Mississippi carried out
experiments to prove that mon-
keys can be taught the value of
money. He made chimpanzees
work for their food and paid
them in coins. Slot machines
were installed and they here
taught that certain coins in-
serted would produce certain
good.s
The monkeys had preferences
and used the money to get what
they wanted. They found that
two, three or four doins were
needed to get some articles that
they specially liked; and they
worked hard until they ;had
hoarded enough.
Dr. Wolfe occasionally slipped
metal tokens into their pay
packets, but these were invari-
ably discarded with signs of an-
noyance a n d disgust because
they would buy nothing.
Then Dr. Wolfe thought he
would try an advanced experi-
ment. He kept one chimpanzee
without water for some hours,
and another without fond, and
gave to the first coins that would
buy only food, and to the sec-
ond money that mold buy only
orange juice.
They took the coins and at
first were puzzled; then the two
went into a huddle, exchanged
their pieces and went off in tri-
umph to buy what they wanted.
They had learned one of man's
first lessons — how to barter,
Don't underrate monkeys, and
especially chimpanzees, w h o
possess considerable cunning,
Although small monkeys
might be employed with little
or no trouble for routine jobs,
chimpanzees could not, for they
need tactful handling and re-
spond only to kindness and fair
treatment. The chimp is a gen-
tleman, and if you play him a
dirty trick or let him down in
any way, you've had it.
For the first eight or nine
years of his life he's a cheeky
chap; but after that his men-
tality and character changes, as
do those of humans when they
reach maturity. He becomes con-
scious of his strength, which is
enormous. An adult chimp in
a rage is a match for a full-
grown leopard, or ten men.
A full-grown chimp weighs
nearly twelve stone, has a chest
measurement, when relaxed, of
about forty-four inches, and bi-
ceps twice the size of a heavy-
weight boxer. He is able to sup-
port his body easily with the
top joint of his index finger as
he swings from branch to
branch.
Those who have studied chim-
panzees say that with a casual
movement of one hand they can
shift half a ton; they can lift
a ton without much effort,
But they can't be ordered
about. Chimps must be asked to
do anything and, if in stubborn
mood, cajoled and pleaded with.
Reuben Castang relates that
once he was struggling to bend
the heavy wire of a cage with
an implement, b Lit failed 'o
make any impression on it. One
of his chimps strolled over and
with a twist of two of his pow-
erful hands, bent the wire.
It has long been thought that
monkeys can talk, andrecent
experiments prove that the Sia-
mese gibbon has a language
of thirty distinctive sounds.
Some men have mastered
monkey tongues. Herr Hermann
Freyburg, in his reminiscences,
"Out of Africa," records the
conversation between a native
named Badinga and a gigantic
gorilla.
Freyburg had his rifle ready
to kill the gorilla, but Badinga,
who was speaking to it, cried
out. "Don't shoot. My brother
the Injuna, says that he will ao
away and that you must not kill
him." Freyburg lowered his
rifle and the gorilla, which had
been hostile and on the point of
attack, walked away,
Chimpanzees are touchy, They
like applause or laughter when
they perform, but hate. ridicule.
In 1013 Reuben Castang brought
two chimpanzees, Max and Mor-
itz, over to England, where at a
reception at the Savoy they Im-
pressed many distinguished doc-
tors and scientists.
Later, a table was reserved at
a luxury hotel for Mr Max.

Chart of Common
Childhood Ills
The following charts, which
will be printed from time to
time, deal with some of the ail-
ments which especially threaten
children and how you can rec-
ognize their early symptoms.
They were compiled by Dr. 'Iago
Gaidston, ..of.. The. Bureau. of
Medical Information, New York
Academy of. Medicine and wee/
first published in "Better Liv-
ing".
Allergy
What's Involved:
hypersensitivity of the en-
tire body, but notably the skin,
respiratory tract or gastrointes-
tinal tract to certain protein
substances eaten, touched or in-
haled.
When to suspect it;
Skin eruptions • Colic symp-
toms or periodic crying spells
after eating • Diarrhea • Fre-
q.tent sneezing or chronic runny
nose • watery, itchy eyes •
Chronic cough or wheezing.
What you can do:
Watch out for symptoms listed
arid if they occur frequently,
without explanation, discuss the
possibility of allergy with your
doctor.
What your doctor can do:
Track down offending sub-
stances by analyzing the child's
case history or with skin tests
• Eliminate such offenders from
the child's diet or environment
or if this is impossible, inoculate
the child to build up a tolerance
for them • Treat symptoms
with various medications, in-
cluding antihistamines, ACTH
and cortisone.
Duration:
May last a lifetime but fre-
quently clears up easily, es-
pecially if offenders are prompt-
ly eliminated.
Possible complications;
Chronic asthma.
How to prevent ii:
Use synthetic bedding in
child's room • Feed infant only
foods that are well cooked or,
"0' .ssed for babies, especially
egg, cereal, milk and fruit juice;
introduce new foods in small
amounts, at regular intervals
an one at a time • During ill-
ness and convalescence feed
only well -cooked food and avoid
new dishes • Avoid insecticides
containing pyrethrum.
German Measles
What's Involved,
A contagious eruptive dis-
ease; caused by a virus, ,
When To Suspect It:
Slight sore throat and' slight
fever followed a day or two
later by a fine rash which usu-
ally appears first behind the.
ears and on the face and neck
and then on the trunk. Pos-
sibly, enlarged glands at back
of head and behind the ears.
What You Can Do;
Call your doctor. Keep child ,-
in bed and on light diet, Protect
child's eyes from too -bright ,
light; discourage reading and
other • close work that may
cause eye strain,
What Your Doctor Can Do:
Usually no medication is nec-
essary; your doctor makes sure
diagnosis is correct,
Duration:
Not more than 6 days, 1 or 2 -
of them in bed; disease. is con-
tagious from time of first symp-
toms until 2 days after rash ap-
pears.
Possible Complications:
If contracted by a woman
during the first three months
of pregnancy, it may damage
her unborn baby.
How To Prevent It:
Avoid contact with inflected
persons. But most doctors agree
that whenever possible girls
should have this disease before
child-bearing years and thus
acquire permanent immunity to
it. If a child is exposed while
seriously ill for some other rea-
son, he may be given injections
of gamma globulin to ward off
the disease or make his case
milder, But as German measle
is relatively mild anyway, this
Is seldom considered necessary,
Patience is a necessity. Most
children are curious and friend-
ly; if not the photographer must
be able to sit and wait for the
"rain storm" to blow over.

the most economical power
when It is used for at least 500
hours or more per year on the
farm, A diesel tractor used for
500 hours per year will more
than take care of the higher or-
iginal cost by fuel savings over
a period of five to six years,
When .less hours are worked per
.season • the • high compression
.gasoline ;,tractor would be the
most suitable choice:
• • •
The diesel tractor at .present
fuel prices supplies the most
economical power, The over-all
saving; secured is a result of the
lower fuel bill. This saving is
obtained because of the lower
price per gallon as well as the
lower fuel consumption per
hottr. Attention then' should be
given to the fuel consumption
of both gasoline and diesel trac-
tors as well as the price, This
information can be found in the
Nebraska Tests, if the tractors
have been tested. A fuel spread
of et least five cents a gallon
should prevail: before buying a
diesel tractor.
Another important factor in
selecting a tractor is the size, If
possible, a tractor should be
chosen of such a size that its
load for most of the time will be•
at or near the rated load for best
economy, Either over or under
powering: results in an unecon-
omical farm unit, Consult,. the =.
Nebraska Test figures when, se-
lecting the size. Be careful to use
the' 'rated Load rather than the
maximum load figures. Horse
power. requirements for hilly or
soft footing conditions should be
increased 'approximately 25 per
cent to insure adequate .power,'

This Doct6r was a
Mass Murderer
It is. difficult' to say just 'when
De.. Petiot launched out' on his
trade as a "mass murderer." The
discovery of an unusually large
number of - expertly dismember-
ed corpses, .found in widely icat-
tered regions in and; -around
• Paris during the war years of
1940-43 would normally have led
to widespread investigations. Yet
the • "disappearance" of people
from their homes, a common-
place and daily event, was too
easily linked up=+•wtth the pees-
• ence in .Paris of the Gestapo or
with the underground Resistance
organizations,
In September, • 19.11, Petiot •
bought a building which at one
time had been used as a hotel,;
It. was No. ,21, Rue Lesueur. A
number of ..unorthodox structur-
al alterations were carried out
on the building at the doctor's
orders, These included the build- •
.ing of a high all which' effec-
' tively screened • the courtyard
from the ' inquisitive ' gaze of.
neighbours; the construction of
an odd triangle -shaped room
next to the doctor's surgery; the
setting up of block and tackle
equipment overt.the ten foot deep
pit in the garage; and the restor-
ation ,to full' working order of
the hotel's furnace,
The triangular-shaped room
was in effect the "torture room"
of the buitding.Dr. Petiot calmly
described as a nursing home. The
room, windowless and sound-
proof, possessed two doors one
of which was a dummy; the
other door could only be opened
on the surgery side. There was
also a dummy bell -push and a
number of hooks which were in
line with, a periscope peep -hole,
The powerful electric Tight could
Ge switched op from the surgery
only.
These were the premises Dr,
Petiot used its his grim trade of
mass -murder., With fiendish in-
genuity' lie trapped each. victim
through" that person's fervent
desire. to' 'escape from Nazi -oc-
cupied France; many -- if not
moat. -- • of. his 'victims were
• Jews; `and all were reasonably
wealthy,
The ' murder procedure was
simple enough and almost fool-
proof, • Through ' his agents --
shifty characters of the Parisian
underworld — potential "clients"
visited Dr. Petiot at 21 Rue Les-
ueur, ' • •
Each client was ,granted two .
interviews Usually. At the first,
mythical arrangements for the
client's escape were discussed
and agreed to, The question of •
the doctor's• moderate' fee was
settled also, and — a vital point
-- the ,client's ability'to, attend
for the second and final "escape" .
interview. suitably equipped with'
motley' and jewellery carefully '
secreted about Mi.: person, was
tested. At the second inter -
I
view final "arrangements" were
• made, including an "inoculation"
which the doctor suavely insist-
ed was necessary under ,the
entry. regulations of the. forign
country to which the ,client:
planned to escape, ,
Then the client was shown in
to the' 'triangular-shaped :'roorh';
to find himself trapped and sink-
ing • swiftly .into the coma of
death, Here his death struggles
were watched .by the doctor
through the periscope. Dead, the
victim was' stripped,. valuables
including clothing carefully hid-
den away, and the body, with
the aid of the\ block and tackle
equipment in the courtyard, was
lowered into 'the lime -filled pit,
Any portions . which were 'not
consumed by this process were
dumped into the furnace.
The. doctor was not satisfied
with the money he made from
arranging these disappearances,
but engaged also in providing his
other patients with illicit drugs,
This was found out and in May,
1942, he was- fined 10,000 francs.
It was during 1943 that the
Gestapo learned of Di•, Petiol's
ability to arrange for the illegal
departure of French citizens
Irons the county. Ironically,
they .sent an agent — a Jew —
to investigate. 1•Ie, too, disap-
peared, though not in the man-
ner surmised by Gestapo H.Q.
when he failed to report back?
Later the Gestapo arrested Dr.
Petiot and he was imprisoned
for eight months. Strangely, he
was then released.
Had the evil doctor been able
to camouflage the horrible smells
which from' time to time poured
forth, from the furnace chimnev
at 21, flue Lcsueur, it is possible
his crimes would have remained
undetected for Still longer.
Eventually ; a • neighbour com-
plained . bitterly. A policeman
arrived, noted the acrid smoke
pouring out of the chimney. A
phone call to Dr. Petiot's home
at the Rue Caulnartin .brought
the doctor on his cycle, He took
little afore than a cursory look,
said a fe\1t words to the police-
man, mouhted his cycle and rode
away "on urgent business of a
patriotic nature," he said, it
•
•took the police eight months to
'find him,
Meanwhile, the premises at
No, 21 were Investigated, and
the dreadful truth came to light,
In the furnace, in the pit full
of quicklime and elsewhere the
police found • the bodies' and
bones of some twenty-seven peo-
ple, men and women.
Revelation of these horrible
crimes shocked the whole coun-
try, and the police made desper-
ate efforts to find Dr, Petiot.
Though they arrested many
people thought to have been im-
plicated, including his wife and
brother, nearly all were released,
for lack of evidence even before
• Dr: Petiot ,Was found. ,•
Ironically, • it was a ''leiter
which Dr, Petiot wrote to the
`Press, claiming he, had been a
leader of ,the Resistranee, wliich
provided the clue leading to his
arrest in October, 1944, All the'
time, seemingly, he. had been
living in Paris as ,a Captain':
Valery, an active member •of the"
Resistance movement.. A beard
had helped him to carry off this
impudent piece of camouflage.
His trial' took place in the
spring of 1946. His defence —
that he had killed only Germans
and French traitors on behalf, of
the French Resistance - was
soon.torn apart by the prosecut-
ing counsel., Arrogant and jesting
to the end, Dr, Petior'was found
guilty and sentenced todeath.
An' appeal was rejected, and on
May 26th lie went calmly to the
;guillotine. •
Kimono No More
A terrifying earthquake and
q'thp determination of one woman
have changed the dress habits
'Pi Japanese women and. caused
%'them to discard the traditional
'kimono for Western-style dress,
When an earthquake, destroy-
ed one-third of Tokio and most
of Yokohama in 1923,, Mrs. Yo-
, shiko Sugino experienced the
,horror of seeing many ,of her
countrywomen burnt to death.
:-Many died because escape was
. 4iindered .by. their colourful yet
seumbersome kimonos.
t In studying this problem' the
"looked to the West, and. 'the
fashions of Europe and America.
She encountered tremendous
opposition' from the tradition-
ists, and It is only in the last
few years that her endeavours
have yielded definite results.= ••
Before the .First World. War
ten per cent of Japan's „people
had adopted Western clothes.
. Now 'it is estimated that about
,70 per cent of Japanese' women
.prefer Western-style clothes to
the kimono... •
In 1925 Mrs, Sugino founded
the Sugino Dressmaking School,
starting'with three •students. To-
day the school register 'bears. -
.almost
bears,••almost 7,000 names; There are'
54 professors .and 100 qualified
instructors on her staff and her
school has two special design
courses and two, courses on mil-
linery, as well as a complete
dressmaking curriculum.
"Golden" Horses
Twelve horses owned by the
Duchess of Rutland, popularly
known as golden horses, are to-
day reputed to be the loveliest
in the world, They are Palomino'
horses, whose rich colouring —
ranging from cream td' golden
or very light chestnut—so at-.
tracted the artist Rembrandt
that he painted them,
Chinese painters featured Palo-
minos in their water colour
sketches. These golden horses
were also favourites of the old
queens of Spain. Knights, court-
ing favour, chose them as their
was mounts to please their ma-
jesties.
The first man to charge into
battle on one of these golden
steeds was the Spanish Count
Palomino after ,whom they were
named. The original Palominos
were developed by selective
breeding from Spanish stock im-
ported by Cortez when Spain
first invaded America.

Jesus Calls for entance
Luke 13:1.9,1-35
)1ft&YS(llOL
Memory Selection: Except ye
repent, ye shall alt perish.
Luke 13:5,
Old 'Testament prophets and
John the Baptist were preached%
of repentance. So was Jesus and
the apostles after him. It is still
an important theme.
The idea has long prevailed
that people who suffer must
have sinned greatly to be visited
•with affliction. Jesus put it in a
'different light *hen he said,
."Those eighteen, uron %shorn the
tower 'of Siloam fell, and slew
them, think ye that they were
sinners above all men that dwelt
an Jerusalem? I tell you,' Nay,
but, 'except ye repent, ye shall
• all likewise perish." All have
sinned and are urged to repent.
•, •
•W,el;preach much 'about the
sins which men commit' • but
Jesus in his parable 'spoke more
of the sins 'of omission. For three.
.years the fig tree bore no fruit.
It was given another chance and,.
special care, Hs it�•ss'ttt�'" proved`'
fruitless it was to be cut down.
.Let• us'ask ourselves if we have
brought a soul to Jesus Christ
in the last three years. How long
will- Cod tolerate our' fruitless-
ness?
The tree was typical of Israel
and of the capital city Jerusa-
lem. Jerusalem, who had killed
the prophets was soon to put.to
death Jesus the Son of God.
Jesus foresaw the desolation that
would come upon the city for it*
wickedness, He gave the warn-
ing but it went unheeded, In
less than forty years the Roman
armies destroyed the city.
Repentance is needed today.
It has been defined as confession
without excuse. True repentance
involves the forsaking of sin. It
is a godly sorrow. When we 'are
truly repentant we are.'not only
sorry enough to •quit but so
sorry that we will try to undo
the harm we have done, This in
called restitution, Money so' re=
turned is called conscience mon-
• ey. If a wave of genuine repen-
tance were to, sweep our country
a lot of money would be sent to
the . income tax department,
street car commissions and In-
surance companies, -,IJ .we don't
repent of our sins now we shall
face ,them'' at the judgment.' It
will be too late to receive for-
gieeness then. •

Business Takes A Band
At its annualmeeting this week, The
Ontario Chamber of Commerce is de-
voting its program to "Ontario On
Wheels." It is a timely subject.
Highway accident—trollic bottieneclts
—more and more cars. Unless some-
thing is done about it, Ontario will
t,low to a standstill and government
cannot do It all.
Thus it is encouraging to see men
fro.n Cobourg, Cornwall, Sarnia, Sud-
bury --to mention but a random few --
of the 200 member Boards and• Cham-
bers travelling to London at. their own
expense and"take two days out of busy
lives to thrash out present problems
confronting Ontario,
11 is encouraging, too, to realize that
these men and others like them spend
a great deal of time and energy in self-
less devotion to the collective interests
of their community.
Their efforts are akin in many ways
to the barn -raising bees of the pioneer
days. They mostly coine from small
pieces and they unite in doing big
things.
The action of the men of The On-
tario Chamber of Commerce symbolizes
our determination to grasp our destiny
in our own hands, nor to let dim tha
light of free enterprise. ,
