Canadians Watching For-
tunes of Olympic Team
Sports minded. Canadians are watch-
ing with interest the fortunes of Can-
ada's Olympic hockey entry, the Kit-
chener -Waterloo Dutchmen Senior A
team, as they battle for world ama'teut
hockey supremacy at the Olympic
games' going on at Cortina, Italy.
Canadians got quite ar jolt on Tuesday
when they received the. news that the
Dutchies had suffered their first de-
feat at the hands of the United States
entry by a score of 4 to 1. Up until
Tuesday neither the U.S. nor Russia
had been defeated.
It would appear that the competition
is getting tougher every year, and Can•
ada is going' to be hard -put to hold
her place as the leading hockey nat.
ton of the world, The Dutchmen were
the top team in the the OHA Senior
league, and as such were rated one of
Canada's best senior hockey teams.
The time may come when we have to
pick a team and play them together
for some time before going • to these
games as other larger nations catch on
to the thrill of the sport called hockey
which according to attendane figures In
many Canadian centres is going through
real dog days and finding the financial
burden a tough problem.

cast two groups were formed for dis-
cussion on the topic, "The Family
Farm." 11): We think the family farm
is ta very desirable part of Canadian
Agriculture in our locality. We still
have the family farm, 121: We think
it will lie necessary for the father to
go shares with his sons or give them
a good allowance and Increase hie
production sa they will all have a fair
living. Give the child something of his
own so he can learn time value of
money and how to handle it. They
should be encouraged to travel so they
will get new ideas which might be ap-
plied on the home farm. Business wan
conducted. Contest was read which had
been prepared by Pat flunking. A voto
of thanks was tendered to her for het'
work in connection with the contest.
On January 30th, 31 adults of the
Fireside Farm Forum met at the home
of Mr, and Mrs, Bob Riley, The topic
was "The Family Farm'.' We believe
the family farm is a desirable feature
of Canadian Agriculture. If the farm.
ere can be assured of a fair income fol'
their investment and labour, the young
people will be willing to stay on fermi
and the family farm will survive,
Farmers like their Independence told
prefer this way of life to that of co•
operative farms, Most games: Mrs. Jint

Murder at Large
.-A Perfect Crime
It was the evening of Janu-
ary 19th, 1931, and it was freez-
ing fast. In fact, it was one of
the coldest nights of that winter
in England. But in the smoke -
laden club -room beyond the
bar of the North John Street
pub in Liverpool conditions
were warm and comfortable.
This little room was the head-
quarters of the local chess club,
and that very evening there
was to be a championship
match. Unfortunately, the start
was being delayed. One of the
players, respectable insurance
agent William Wallace, had not
arrived.
Chess enthusiasts stood about
talking, waiting impatiently.
Then, suddenly, the shrill ring-
ing of the telephone bell cut
through the babble of conversa-
tion,
The call was for William
Wallace. The barmaid took the
message. The caller was a "Mr.
R. M. Qualtrough." It was his
daughter's birthday, he said,
and he intended taking out in-
surance in her favour. Would
she ask Mr. Wallace to call
around the following night to
25, Menlove Gardens, East?
It was not until flften min-
utes later that Wallace arrived
to receive his message and play
his game of chess. The mes-
sage was soon forgotten by the
spectators as he sat down to do
battle over the chess board,
Wallace won, appeared delight-
ed, and went home .happy.
So beg an one of the most
baffling crimes in British his-
tory, a crime in which the kill-
er is still at large. It is unique
in the fact that a man was con-
victed of the murder, then
found not guilty because the
evidence had been too scanty.
It was not until the evening
•after the chess match at the
North John Street public house
that the importance of that
telephone call came to light. As
was to be expected, that night
the 6 ft, tall, timid - looking
William Wallace set out at 6.45
to find Mr. Qualtrough at 25,
Menlove Gardens, East.
After many tram journeys, he
could not find the address, He
was seen by s e ver a 1 people
wandering through Menlove
Gardens, North, South and
West. THERE WAS, IN FACT,
NO MENLOVE GARDENS,
EAST,
Policemen, shop -keepers, and
others told him they had never
heard of any Mr. Qualtrough.
Plainly the timid Mr. Wallace
had been hoaxed — but why?
Finding his journey fruitless,
the insurance agent returned
home at 8.45.
His wife was stretched out
on the floor. She . had been
pounded to death ruthlessly by
a weapon that was subsequently
never found.
Wallace did not lose his ,head.
To the police he was the only
possible suspect. They did not
believe his story, but he showed
no emotion when finally they
charged him with his wife's
murder.
The evidence was, of course,
purely circumstantial, But the
prosecution's case was quite
good.
According to the prosecution,
it was Wallace who had made
the hoax call to the public
house in order to provide him-
self with an alibi for the fol-
lowing evening. This was back-
ed up by the fact that the call
had been made in a street -cor-
ner kiosk only four hundred
yards from Wallace's house.
The distance from the tele-
phone box to the public house
in North John Street took about
fifteen minutes to walk — the
exact time after the message
that Wallace had arrived,
The prosecution conjured up
a picture of the tall man arriv-
ing home that evening with
murder, Ma mind. He had strip -
.ped naked — to prevent blood
splashes on his clothes — slip-
ped into the parlour, and called
his wife from its darkness. Then
he had beaten her to death,
Next he went upstairs for a
bath, and then . out clean and
stainless to make a great show
of looking for a man who " did
not exist. On his return he
had put on another great act of
finding the body.
The murder weapon, the pro-
secution• claimed, had been
thrown away in the search for
Menlove Gardens, East. It was
never found, but certainly
there was a charwoman pre-
pared to swear that there had
been a long iron rod in the par-
" lour, which was not to be found
after Mrs. Wallace's death,
It was quite a good case. BUT
THE SAME ,FACTS PROVID-
ED AN EQUALLY GOOD CASE
FOR THE DEFENCE.
First, the hoax phone call.
Would Wallace have been fool-
' ish enough to have made that
call from within a quarter of a
mile of his own house, they ar-
gued? Surely . he would have
realized the dangerof neigh-
bours seeing him? More likely,
the defence said, the real mur-
derer had used the booth to
throw suspicion on Wallace.
The barmaid in the public
house certainly testified that the
voice which gave the message
had been unfamiliar to her, and
she had known Wallace for
some time.
According to the defence
there was a reasonable possibili-
ty that Julia Wallace was still
alive when her husband left the
house. Only a quarter of an
hour earlier, a milk' boy had
talked with her on the door-
step. Could Wallace have killed
his wife, bathed, dressed and
walked away in ten minutes?
Then, perhaps, most import-
ant of all; what motive had
William Wallace for killing his
wife? Neighbours testified that
he and Julia had always seem-
ed perfectly happy, so it could
not have been hatred of her.
Another woman perhaps? No.
Wallace had been faithful at
that time and always. He was
• that sort of man.
It could not, surely, have been
robbery. Would he have mur-
dered her for the few paltry
pounds to be had from her in-
surance policy?
So it seemed that William
Wallace had nothing to expect
from his wife's death but lone-
liness.
However, a jury of ten men
and two women seemed to think
he had. After only one hour out
of court, they brought in a ver-
dict of guilty and Wallace wa,'
sentenced to death.
But their verdict did not
stand for long. Soon afterwards
the Court of Criminal Appeal
quashed the conviction of' mur-
der on the grounds that. the
jury's verdict had been unrea-
sonable and based on insufficient
evidence. It was the first time
in British legal history, that
such a thing had ever happen-
ed.
BUT I1? WALLACE WAS NOT
THE MURDERER, WHO DID
KILL — JULIA ON THAT
COLD, JANUARY NIGHT?
That somebody, whether it
was William Wallace or not,
committed the perfect crime,
for he never paid the penalty
for his slaughter.
BRIGHTEN UP
On, these grey winter days
add a dash of color to any room
with a gaily painted lamp-
shade. Coat the inside of any
heavy paper or cardboard shade
with aluminum paint. Then
paint the outside any color you
like. The aluminum will reflect
the light inside the shade and
will prevent light shining
through the brush ma.as on the
outside.
Modern
Etiquette...
Q. Is there any further obli-
gation upon a person who has
just introduced two other per-
sons to each other?
A, Yes; a person who is ex-
perienced in making intro-
ductions will lead the two
strangers into smooth,pleasant
conversation, as, "Mrs, Roberts
has just moved to our city from
Boston," It is .when an awk-
ward pause follows an introduc-
tion that embarrassment is felt.
Q. Is it proper for a girl to
light • a man's cigarette for him?
A. Yes, if she has just light-
ed her own and her match is
still burning. • Otherwise, he
should always light his own.
Q. When .should a woman re-
move her wraps when dining in
a restuarant? •
A. She waits until she is seat-
ed before removing her wraps,
the 'waiter or one of the men in
her party assisting her,
Q. Is. It always properto
smoke in another person's
home?
A. Not always, It is still con-
sidered bad manners to light a
cigarette, cigar or pipe in the
home of another when no one
else is smoking — and espe-
cially at the table when there
is no provision made for smok-
ing..
Q. I received a number of
gifts at a birthday party recent-
ly, and I thanked each donor
personally. Is' It also necessary
that I write each one a thank -
you note?
A. No.
Q. What, in general, Is an ac-
ceptable tip to give bellboys,
porters, and others who render
you small services in a hotel?
A. Usually 25 cents for small
services. You should be guided,
however, by the amount or type
of work each person does for
you, and, of course, by the type
of establishment.
Q. When the boy with whom
a girl has been going for some
time invites her to his home for
dinner, is it proper for the girl
to take his mother a box of
candy?
A. No,
Q. If candles are not to be
lighted, is it all right to have
them on the table?
A. Yes; candles are consider-
ed an ornamental part of the
dinner or supper table setting.

Brides Worth

Halfpelnnlesl
•:•
Two thousand Italian . girls. '• •
travel to Britain every year to
work and save money .for their
. dowries, it, was revea ect.;recent-
ly, • It's still the custom . In Italy
for every bride to bring a dowry
*ith her on. her. weddipg da',
so when a 'girl's fainl1' 'is' poor:
site has to earn the money,
, Average amount of a dowry
is, $300. One slim, dark-haired.
Italian beauty earned this money :;
by sewing red stripes on post-•
men's trousers in Norfolk. She
did this work during the . day
and then worked inithe evening'
making pretty things for her
trousseau, •
Another Italian . girl saved
$300 by getting a job as a man-
nequin in a provincial store, Her
sister—they were engaged to
twin brothers in Rome—got her
dowry money in six months' by
teaching Italian in London.
The dowry custom is slowly .
dying all over the world, but it
still lingers, not only in Italy,
France and some parts of Ger-..
many but also in Russia. In
-rural areas • of Eire farmer -fa- '.
thers sometimes give a dowry of
cows and pigs with their daugh-
ters,
• Dowries were ,once quite com-
mon in Britain. Eighteenth -cen-
tury husbands delighted to tell
the world about the fortunes
'they had' obtained with their
wives,
A newspaper advertisement
of 1781 runs: "Married, the Rev.
Mr. Roger Waina, of York, about
twenty-six years of age, to a
Lincolnshire lady upwards of
eighty with whom he is to have
£8,000 in money, £300 per an-
num and a coach and four dur-
ing life only." How long this
unequal pair enjoyed married
bliss is not recorded.
Then there was the eccentric
London tradesman who • in 1770.
disposed of his eleven not -very-.
'pretty daughters in marriage by,
offering novel dowries — the
weight of each girl in haltpen
nies,
He paid out £50 2s. 8d. for the
lightest girl, which suggests they
'were all rather weighty. Alto-
gether, the dowries 'cost him •
£809.
Yet another amazing dowry
was 100,000 farthings which went
to a poor young man who mer-
ited the lovely daughter of a
well-to-do draper,
Farthings were . frequently
given 'with change .to customers
in those' days,• so as he handed'
over the _coins the draper afvays
said: "If you 'don't want them,
please p'ut them in my daugh-
ter's wedding dowry ' chest" • •
a box which stood on the coun- •
ter
Farthings •fascinated . the dra- '
per so much that after the.wed- •
ding he showered his daughter •
and her husband with 200 newly
minted farthings as they left the
church. Wedding guests and
onlookers scrambled eagerly for
this copper "confetti,"
A certain west country bach-
elor noted the frequent failure
of ugly girls to get husbands, so
he left a sum of money to pro-
vide three dowries of' £ 10 each,
to .three girls "who are ill-fa-
voured of face,"' ,

How're you gonna keep them
down on the farm" was the
theme of a song highly popular
a getieration or so ago, It was
sung jokingly then; but the
problem it poses Is by no means
a joke then, either here in Can-
ada or south of the Border,
o • s
The following article from
the Wash1n`gtoit Post and
Times -Herald, is just one more
of countless pieces of evidences
pointing out why it's getting
tougher and tougher to con-
vince a modern youth that a
farmers life - unlike that of
Mr, Gilbert's, policeman, is "a
happy one,"
There is good reason for con-
cern -over the rise of distribu-
tion costs and marketing mar-
gins while farm prices are fall-
ing. From the consumer's point
of view, this means that he is
not getting the advantage of the
lower prices now paid for food-
stuffs on the farm. From the
farmer's viewpoint, the contin-
ued high prices charged for fin-
ished food products discourage
the increased consumption so
urgently needed to remove sur-
pluses now hanging over the
markets, And, so far as the gov-
ernment is concerned, the in -
•,creasing squeeze on the farmer
tends to thwart its efforts to
over come the agricultural
slump,
« • •
The preliminary studies con-
ducted by the Department of
Agriculture . show that farm
prices fell 10 per cent in the
last year, while retail food
prices declined only 2 per cent,
The farmer gets only 39 cents
out of the food dollar, compared
to 53 cents in 1945,
• • •
The farm' value of beef shrank
from 47,9 centsa pound to 37,8
cents in the last year, for exam-
ple, while the marketing mar-
gin increased from 22.1 to 28.2
cents, Consumers would like to
SINGING NO BLUES - Actress
Susan Hayward has become re-
cognized as such a .fine singer
that she may try a nightclub
singing tour. She earned tht
reputation as a warbler in "191
Cry Tomorrow," in which she
used her own singing voice for
the first time .on the screen,
know the reasons for this un-
happy coincidence.
• • •
It should not be assumed, of
course, that these findings are
proof of profiteering, Some food
manufacturers and distributors
have found their costs creeping
upward despite the relative
stability of prices during the
last year. The cost of food in
retail stores reflects, wage rates
in food factories, the cost
of machinery, transportation,
wages, overhead and many
,other factors in wholesale as
well as retail outlets,
• + •
These costs have no direct re•
lationship to the prices paid far-
mers for their crops. The final
prices of food products arc also
affected by packaging and by
the increased service attending
delivery.
When all these factors have
been considered, however the
rise of marketing costs while
farm prices are in a slump is
still a misfortune. The Depart-
ment of Agriculture is well ad-
vised to center attention upon
this situation and to seek out
the causes.
+ « +
Even if no remedy can be
found, publication of the facts
will help to keep distributors
aware of the problem and sen-
sitive to the desirability of pass-
ing on to consumers as much as
possible of the savings result-
ing from lower farm prices,
Sky Surprises
Lovers of popular songs are.
apt to carol that they are
dreaming of a white Christmas;
and literal -minded people are
equally apt to retort by asking
who ever heard of a black one,
anyhow?
Well, there have been falls, in
various parts of the world, of
red and green snow; and in a
tiny Hungarian village, even
black snow has fallen, to the
disgust of the inhabitants, In
1940, a man living in Spring-
field, Missouri, angrily rang up
the United States weather bu-
reau with the startling news
that where he lived it was hail-
ing coal. A brisk wind was
cerrying up coaldust from the
mining area and shedding it on
the residential quarters.
Some freak hailstorms are re-
markable for the size or shape
of the stones, as, in South Africa,
which can quote other surprises,
such as hailstones as big, or
bigger than, pigeons' eggs,
Stones as- flat as coins' fell on
Cyprus • in 1931, The largest
hailstone on record fell in Ne-
braska. It wap the size off a
grapefruit.
In 1950, blue rain fell 1n Lei-
cestershire. Out of a blue sky
patches of blue of penny-slze
over an arca of more than' a
hundred square yards, Red rain
fell on Bordighera, Italy, and
the downpour ,over Guildford,
Surrey, was a weird • greenish -
yellow hue,
In the same year, the snow
that fell in Rochester, New
York State, was white all right,
but gained its. place in history
by being radioactive, In Nevada,
about 2,000 miles away, there
were atomic test explosions,
The snow was of its usual
colour - or lack of it - in the
year 1708, one of the bitter-
est winters ever recorded, Birds
in night fell frozen and wines
and spirits froze solid,

This Queen Must
Commit Suicide
The world's strangest queen,
the • Rain Queen of . Africa, will
end her forty -year reign this
year by committing suicide.
Eighty -five-year-old• Modjadji
III rules over more than 10,000,-
000 Bantu In Southern Africa,
but only in matters pertaining
to rain,
More than 1,000 of her sub-
jects visit her every month,
bringing gifts of cattle ' and
shoe p, diamonds, gold and
money; when there is a drought
the volume of 'visitors might
swell to 10,000 or more a month,
each bringing a gift so that the
Rain Queen may pacify the rain
gods and cause it to rain,
The Rain Queen never leaves
her palace, which is in the north-
eastern Transvaal,'near Tzaneen,
When King George VI and the
Royal family passed through her
territory in 1947 she sent the
King a message requesting him
to come to see her as she was
, unable to leave her own palace.
The King made a special detour
to do so.
Modjadji will make no ordin-
ary abdication, however. She
must take poison so than she can
make way for her successor, her
forty -year-old daughter, Mod-
jadji IV, A special tasteless
poison is prepared for her by
witchdoctot's and left in her

"Ghost" Spots
Haunt Housewives
Now you see them, now you
don't.
That's why spots causedby
gravy and other foods such as
the whites of eggs, are popular-
ly known as "ghost" spots. These
spots are noticeable enough
while fresh, but once they have
dried, they are as difficult to de-
tect as invisible ink. And if
soaked in hot water, the "ghost"
spots reveal themselves in an un-
becoming gray on your other-
wise gleaming white table linen.
To avoid being haunted by
such 'ghost" spots, the Canadian
Research Institute of Launderers
and Cleaners advises that all
cottons and linens used on the
table or in the kitchen be pre-
soaked in cold water as a regu-
lar practice. Do not add any
soap. Let soak for three to six
hours, then hang out to dry,
Linens are then ready to be
sent off to the laundry. Regular
pre-soaking will pay handsome
divide .ds in the appearance of
such articles.

It, Barclay Warren IL,A, ILO,
Jesus Teaches Gratitude
Luke 17:11-19
Memory Selection: It is a good
thing to give thanks unto tis•
Lord. Psalm 9z:1
The story of the lone Samari-
tan leper who came back to say
"Thank You," is fairly typical
of human nature, The nine Is-
raelites who were cleansed of
their leprosy as they went to
the priest were, of course, very
pleased, But after all they wers
the sons of Abraham. They con-
sidered themselves entitled to
any and every available favor.
Hence they didn't make a spe-
cial trip back to Jesus to ex-
press their gratitude,
There is a grave danger of our
becoming so accustomed to our
blessings that we are unthank-
ful. We become infected with
the worldly attitude that the
world owes us a living. We ac-
cept all favors quietly and
wonder why we don't receive
more. It is a proud and selfish
attitude, The new Canadian
unused to the abundance to be
found in this good land is often
more grateful.
An expression of gratitude is
very acceptable to the benefac-
tor. Jesus asked disappointingly,
"Where are the nine?" Receiv-
ing thanks encourages one to
keep on doing good. But it also
has a very decided effect on
the grateful. It develops a dell-
cacy of feeling of happiness for
every favor shown by God and
man. The sense of independence
gives way to one of dependence
and reliance upon God. Thia
gives a sense of security, an
abiding faith.
Gratitude paves the way for
greater blessings. In coming
back to Jesus the Samaritan
heard from the Master's lips an
explanation of his healing, "Thy
faith hath made thee whole.
These words 'would linger in
his memory. He had learned
better of the possibilities et
faith. Faith is the key to God'a
great storehouse.
Let us practise expressing our
thanks, Others will be surprised.
But we will be the most sur-
prised at the increasing kind-
ness and happiness of our
thoughts. Let us remember that
every good gift and every per-
fect gift is from above, and
cometh down from the Father
of lights. James 1:17.
If first aid removal is to be at-
tempted at home, it is most im-
portant that spots be treated as
soon as possible. With wash-
ables, the CRI suggests pre -test-
ing on a hem or other incon-
spicuous part of the stainer
material before anything is at-
tempted. For non -washables, the
only safe rule is to send them
immediately to be dry cleaned.
Remember always to tell the
cleaner about spots or stains.

ANNE FIRST
Ajoith. Iraoulti Cotimelot.•
"Dear Anne Hirst: Practical-
ly every letter in your column
is from wives complaining about
husbands. You know sometimes
the shoe is on the other foot.
I've been married for 10 years
(a wartime marriage) and 1
knew almost immediately it
shouldn't have happened. 1 tried
to make the best of it, though,
being a good and, I believe, at•
tentive husband, thinking it
might eventually work out. But
I've about reached the end of
my rope.
"It's been nothing but fault-
finding, nagging, humiliation
and constant grumbling. I know
I've never really loved her, but
now I've reached the stage
where 1 can't bear the sight of
her. My family and even her
people have never interfered,
but now they all say the same
think, 'How much can y o u
take?'
"I've left her now, and if she
doesn't divorce me, 1 intend to
do it. 1 could never stand liv-
ing with her again! Certainly
there must be some happiness
left for me in this world.
"I hope you print this, Anne
)first, and perhaps it will show
jome wives that they, too, may
be in the wrong before their
husbands get to the stage I ant

many times 1 suggest that a
• complaining w i f e examine
• herself as though she were
• somebody else and ask, "Can
• 1 be at fault?" There are
• women who, swept away by
• emotion or deliberately luring
• a man into matrimony, ap-
• proach the future with the
• idea, "Well, I'll change all
that," and proceed to nag
their man into a state of col-
lapse, usually over nonessen-
tials, from the clothes he wears
to the way he holds a fork,
Having attained the dignity
of marriage, a wife like this
reveals her mean nature and
demands a state of perfection
existingin no living male.
She finds fault with all he
says and does, she grumbles
because he doesn't make more
money or doesn't cater to her
whims as he used to; any ex-
cuse is sufci,nt to prove her
superiority and her dissatis-
faction with the mate she
chose.
Most wives (and you and 1
know so many) have only one
aim in marriage — to make
their man happier at home
than anywhere else. He is the
center of their thoughts and
plans; they study his habits
and indulge his moods; the
household routine is governed
by his wishes, Their patience
with his peculiarities is infin-
ite, and their reward is his un-
swerving loyalty and a grati-
tude for all her loving kind-
ness that lasts as long as, he
lives.
You sho".ved more patience
than many a man would; for
10 years you did your best.
this, plus the fact that even
your wife's family are sorry
for you, is proof enough that
escape is the on)y answer. A
man can stand so much; when
the point is reached, living
with the woman is actually
living in a hell of her de-
signing. A LAD IMPOSES
"Dear Anne Hirst: Two of us
girls live together, and we have
a nice group of friends. A young
man I've known for a long time
has the habit of inviting himself
to dinner at the last moment,
taking his welcome for granted.
I don't like the habit.
"He is really a bore. He never
helps •wiith the dishes, just sits
and listens to the radio, He
hasn't taken me out for a long
while. But he is the son of a
friend of my family, and 1 don't
dare be rude. Have you any
ideas? SUSAN"

HE'LL BE A GOOD SPORT—Marquis Grimaldi, left, pretender
to the throne of Monaco, says he may send "the usurper,"
Prince Rainier III, his congratulations when the prince marries
Grace Kelly. Grimaldi, shown above in the ,tavern he owns
in Ightham, England, says his grandfather spent most of the
fortune establishing the line of descent, which he says has
been recognized by England's College of Arms. But the Mar-
quis, who's known as "George," says it would take too much
money to press the claim for the throne. Shown with him are
his wife, the Marquise, known as "Kay", and an unidentified
customer.

It's all over now. The Christ-
mas tree stripped of ' its 'trim-
mings; the gay glass 'ornaments
carefully wrapped and put•
away; strings of coloured lights,
bereft of illumination, packed
in their proper boxes. And the
needle -dropping tree thrown
on the ' woodpile or, in some
cases, out , with the garbage.
Poor little tree ... such a short
while ago we joyously brought
you into the house; decked your
green branches with glittering
baubles and then further en-
"hanced .the glitter by tiny. elec-
tric lights, You. were very love-
ly,,little tree, and served a good
purpose so I hope .you ,are not
'.feeling too badly because ,your,
period of brightness was so
brief. Yours was a short life but
a gay one. In every home you
were the symbol of goodwill
and laughter. But now, with the
New Year we must discard you
as we pick up again the threads
of ordinary, everyday life, car-
rying with us happy memories
• of family gatherings, stacks of
greeting cards and perennial
letters.
At Ginger Farm our letters
and cards included greetings
from readers of this column. I
love to get your messages of
cheer and' encouragement. Writ-
ing this column would be a
lonesome. sort of job were it not
for you, my readers. So keep
your 'letters coming. friends. I
love them, everyone. But during
a special season like this, I hope
you will forgive me if I. reply
through' this column. Answering
a lot of letters at one". time
seems to be more .than I can
manage.
"Glencoe Reader" advises me
to feed our cats a little flaxseed.
Thank you for the tip."Glencoe"
— it sounds like a 'good one.
"Kenora" — you will know
by now our little grandson is
•greatly improved. ,There were
no cat -naps for him over Christ-
mas. Sleep in the daytime? Not
he. — he might miss something!
Thank you for all your kind
inquiries' and good wishes. We
hope you will be feeling much
better during the coming year.
"Writer" — that was a grand
letter. I have a feeling you 'have
• what it takes' and I am sure you
always make a success of what-
ever you set out to do — writ-
ing or anything else, I don't
think YOU need much advice
from me. Once you are properly
settled you should do well. 1,
too, subscribed to Donald
French's magazine and Lound it
very helpful.
"Mrs, F . , ." So you are going
to drive the family car. That
seems like an excellent idea,
especially if you make that visit
you mention. Start .driving now
before you get any older and
you will learn that much easier.
"Irish" — your letter was
most interesting. .Your ' music,
the old family home, and your
cats and dogs, seem to provide
you with a, full and satisfying
life. I am sure you never know
what it is to be bored. Why
should you,? Living as we all
do, in the most interesting and
progressive period history has
ever known, I cannot see why
anyone, .at any time, should suf-
fer from boredom. I 'am sure
that your talents, your active
mind and hands, help you to
forget to some extent, the pain
you suffer with those aching
joints.
"Illinois" — your letter and
greetings were very welcome.
It was nice to hear from you
again. Later on I will reply
more fully. At the moment 1
am particularly busy. David ex-
pects to go to hospital again
soon. This time for the removal
of tonsils. and adenoids,
The foregoing will, I hope,
take care of replies to letters
for the time being. But in ad-
dition to the letters 1 would
also like to thank those who
remembered us' with greeting
cards, It was so nice to get
them and to know we have so
many unseen friends. -But I
wonder what happened to our
friend the _mysterious "Mr. X.".
I was certainly looking for a
card with his' classic signature!
Among our family 'letters was
an "aerogramme" from Part-
ner's brother in Australia. He
was not expecting his sons home
for Christmas as they were both
in 'New Guinea. Last year when
we heard , from . him the oldest
boy had just returned attei Iwo
years in the Antarctic These
Clarkes seem to get around,
don't they? How strange to
spend Christmas in a country
like Australia with the thermo-
meter around 100 ` degrees 1
must ask them how thq cele-
brate.
Would you like a good 'sug-
gestion for the New Year? That
is if you have a lot of un -named
and undated photographs as we
had. One night 1 got out the
whole collection and then sorted
them and put them into enve-
lopes labelled according to fa-
milies, with each photograph
named and dated separately.
This idea . came to me , while 1
was doing some historical re-
search and found families with
stacks of photos whom no one
could identify. Quite suddenly
I ,realized the same thing could
apply in our family once Part-
ner and 1 were gone beyond re-
call. And so I got busy. It takes
' only a little while. Try it your-
selves, and, if I'm .not mistaken,
you will get quite a lot of fun
and enjoyment doing the job.

Jupiter's 'Pimples'
Puts Scientists.
On The Spot
Messages from Mars? Now
astronomers are wondering
whether Jupiter, the largest and
most massive planet of our solar
system, is also signalling to us!
This question has cropped up
following a report by Dr, B. F.
Burk, of the Carnegie Institute,
Washington, D.C., who says he
says picked up radio waves
from Jupiter every three days
for a month. Australian 'astro-
nomers have made similar re-
ports.
Four Moons
Jupiter is 317 times larger
than 'the earth And scientists
have estimated that its atmo.
sphere has a depth of 6,000
miles. But it has never before
been authoritatively suggested
that this amazing planet may be
inhabited.
It created a stir among astron-
omers in 1927 when an eruption
of luminous gases on the planet
was seen' from the summit of
the Jungfrau,in the Swiss Alps.
It was then reported that the
oval marking on Jupiter known
as the Great Red Spot -which
has been an astronomical' -'mys-
tery since it was first observed
in 1664 -was increasing in in-
tensity, Sometimes the spot
fades away altogether, but it
always returns.
Minimum distance of Jupiter
from the earth is 462 million
miles. Before clocks were as re-
liable as they are now, eclipses
on Jupiter's four moons gave
scientists practically the only
reliable -method of determining
longitude.
An effort was once made to
use them in navigation for the
same purpose,, but failed.
Scientists say it will be mil-
lions of years before Jupiter be-
comes as solid as our • earth,
Some think it is in a semi-liquid
state and that its temperature is
so high that life as we know it
could not exist there.
Others say that as Jupiter is
483,900,000 miles from the Sun,
compared with our 93,000,000, it
must be so cold there that a
crust of ice many miles thick
surrounds its molten kernel.
Whatever the truth of all
these theories, the outstanding
mystery remains, what, caused
the radio waves which are puz-
zling the astronomers?
THE REAL TIEING
"They're very much In love
with each other."
"Really? How do you• know?" •
"Well, when she's • away she
writes letters to him whether
she needs money or not."
Another Blunder
Of U.S., Diplomacy
More and more it is obvious
that the Outer Mongolia squab-
ble in the United Nations was a
neatly 'prepared Soviet . trap,
We blundered into that trap-.
or, rather, permitted ourselves
to be led into it by Chiang Kai- •
shek. There is every reason to
think that Russia had her al-
ternative plan, whereby Japan
was excluded along with Outer
Mongolia; well laid in advance.
The net result of the exchange
of vetoes is to leave Japan, alone
of all major applicants, out in
gift to the Communists; For tow •
Russia will. be in, a position .to ,
insist that . Japanese member '
ship in 'the UN be made contin-
gent upon the seating of Com-
munist •China, whereas prevl-•
-ously the two issues were not
linked. Furthermore, the great
revul�` of 'most UN members
,over • •' .iang's behavioe will
make it very difficult if not im-
• possible to obtain a separate
seat for Formosa.
Ali. this means that the United
States is more .than ever over
a barrel. It will be understand-
able in the circumstances' if the
-Japanese feel that they must
• warm up to.,Moscow and Pei-
ping, no matter how anti-Com-
munist their orientation. Al-
\ ' ready the Socialists are crying
. for the scalp of the pro -Ameri-
can Foreign Minister, Mamoru
• Shigemitsu, for failure. to obtain
UN membership. For Russia has
clearly bested the United States
in a matter of diplomacy, and
there is a real crisis for Ameri-
. can prestige in Japan. Yet Rus-
, sia did not push us into the trap.
We stumbled in under our own
power, - Washington Post
Scottish Golfers
, Out on. Strike
The Scots, who gave the
• game of golf to the world, are
celebrating the new year with
a mass down -putter action
against eight municipal golf
courses at Glasgow which have
raised their playing fees from
one shilling (about 13 cents) to
two' shillings for an 18 -hole
round, '
Between 1,000 and 2,000 golf-
ers are reported ready to con-
tinue boycotting the municipal
courses until the old rate of
green fee is restored. Pickets
are reported in operation.
" Golfers in England, and even
more so in the United States,
will be rubbing their eyes in
wonderment at how much the
Scots expect to get for their
money,
The Scots are striking against
CAR HITS HOUSE - It's too bad that "No Parking" sign wasn't
standing in this living room sooner. It might have discouraged
a 20 -year-old youth from plunging his car into the room. None
of the four residents of the home were injured, but two walls
were caved in and furniture was heavily damaged by the
crash. The young driver tried to leave the scene of the accident
on foot, but police caught him and arrested him.
INN
the cold and prey to Communist
blandishments. ,
It was Russia, to be sure, that
vetoed the Japanese application
-but in such a way as to dump
much of the blame, in Japanese
minds, on the United States.
Russia had given ostentatious
lip service to Japanese member-
ship by agreeing to it In ad-
vance of the conclusion of a
Russo-Japanese peace treaty.
The final Soviet veto was com-
pletely cynical; but Ambassador
Lodge's charges of Soviet cyni-
cism cannot hide from the Ja-
panese the fact, that it was the
veto of Outer Mongolia by an
American protege, Chiang Kai-
shek, that started the chain of
vetoes in motion.
Obviously, Chiang had de-
cided •that UN membership for
Communist China is inevitable,
and . had' determined that the
Nationalist regime would go out
in a blaze of glory. But the me-
thod he. chose . amounted . to a

Peter Lyne, London Parliamen.
tary Correspondent of the
Christian Science Monitor.
But things are different in
Scotland, They not only • have
their traditional tight control
over any needless extravagance
with "bawbees" but they also
regard golf as. a part of daily
living just as much as oatmeal
and .porridge. Therefore they
say it should be cheap - if not
actually. free.
This particular parliamentary
reporter has been acutely
aware all his life of the prowess
and tradition of Scottish golf.
From the early days of boys'
golf dontests to the .battle to
gain• a place on the Cambridge
University golf team, there al-
ways ;seemed two more Scots
in the way every time one Scot
was removed:
And now today in the more
sedate competitions of the Par-
liamentary Press Gallery Golf
Society in London, one feels al-
most a foreigner. if • one talks
with ah English' or Welsh 'or
Irish acccit. It's a virtual cer-
tainty one's next opponent is
"Mac," The only. question is:
Which "Mac."?
So no wonder the Scots back
home in Glasgow are fighting a
grim rear -guard action for their
right to keep golf as much a
part of the present-day living
as free schooling. Is it golf
which has put so many Scots in
top executive posts all over the
world? No, not altogether. But
it could be said that gctlf'4- •and
the way Scots apply themselves
to it - has been quite n factor.
There may Well be some pro-
tests against the :assertion at
the beginning of this story that
Scotland gave golf to the world.

tures show that the Dutch play-
ed it mainly on ice. It was the
Scots who really developed the
game.
The date of its introduction
from the continent seems ob-
scure. But by 1457 the popu-
larity of the game in Scotland
had become so great as serious-
ly to interfere with the more
nationally important pursuit of
archery.
In fact, the \ Scottish Parlia-
ment issued a decree that "fute-
ball and golf be utterly cryit
doun and nocht usit."
Today the Scots are trying to
protect golf from the inflation-
ary pressures which are reduc-
ing the number of golfers and
embarrassing the golf clubs of
England, Wales, and all of Ire-
land,
And, incidentally, it seems
there may be another reason
for safeguarding Scottish• golf
courses - namely, the dollar
export drive. .
Two Aberdeen men are said
to 'be negotiating with an Ame-
rican firm of fishing -bait deal-
ers to supply the firm with ten
