Clinton Speaker
Heard by W.I. Group
Mr, George Jefferson, principal of '
the Clinton Public School was the
, special speaker at the meeting of the
Women's Institute in Memorial Hall
last Thursday afternoon, Mr, Jefferson
said he Appreciated the opportunity of
addressing various meetings because he
had had close contact with young peo-
ple In hit teaching profession since
1908, . He has never. left Huron County
and stated he feels he has many pupils
who will . carry on after he has laid
down the banner, Mr. Jefferson said
in part:
"Education is one of the most ex-
pensive of living. Taxes are high be-
cause of building new schools but chil-
dren have to be educated and there
are more children now Than there was
25 years ago. Previous to that titno
there were larger families,"
Mr. Jefferson recalled that "he was
one of a family of twelve brothers
and sisters, and a family across the
road had the same number, but at that
time an education wasn't a necessity,
• and that he was the first pupil to pass
the entrance to high school in 20 years,
but the speaker continued; "To live
happily now people seem to need an
education, but whether .they are hap.
pier or not is doubtful." He stated,
"When I started *to teach there was
nothing modern anywhere or any, place
and now I couldn't. even milk a cow the
modern way. Sex was' an unmention-
able subject years ago, either at home
or at school, but are beginning to see
that sex education is more important
than the three"R's." Teaching isn't a
bad business. Cheques roine•regularly.
even in depression, but if it were not
for the married women filling in va-
cancies where,would the teaching pro-
fession be , today. Parents should en-
courage their children to become tea-
chers, Teachers should have . faith,
hope and charity. Faith, because it is
a necessity to'have faith in each other
and to. avoid narrowness. Charity—
giving not money, but self, which
means forgiving, loving and living,
which Is all a good rule for life but a
hard one to follow. Read good books
yourselves before you criticize 'the
books the young folk"read." t `
Mr. Jefferson rend two familiar po-
ems from Readers of earlier years. His
closing words were: "Show you love
God by your actions, Make better
homes, to be ti benefit to women, ; chil-
dren and men."'
During the. program Mrs, Mary Tay-
lor favoured with hartnonisa'selections.
In presenting the motto, Mrs. J. B.
Watson stated, "All ' quotations are
not mottos, An example of a motto is,
"Duty is what we ought to do whether
we want to do, it or not." -
Mrs. Laving Heffron read the fol
lowing poem entitled`"To the Aged":
When my' gaze fell upon her in the old
rocking chair
My thoughts were to love her and give
her some care.
Her hands were so calloused, were
wrinkled and old,
The lines In her face, n story they told.
The blue in her eyes a vision to see

So Par This Winter
Removal of snow from the town l
business sectionso far this winter, has
been a minor operation, likewise the
snow -plowing expense, both on town
streets and township roads.
With most of our snow falling in
December it has been necessary only
once to remove the snow banks from
the main thoroughfare, and that was
clone during Christmas week, when it
deemed advisable In the face of the
busy Christmas shopping ' season, '
Since, that time not enough snow
has fallen to pile up appreciable banks
which causes difficulty in parking auto-
mobiles. Highways have also been
kept In .excellent condition.
There is however, plenty of time
left for old man winter to cause in-
convenience to motorists which just
about Includes everyone,
But. up to now this winter has been
described by many as ideal, even
though it has been with us continuously
since 'early December:

which was a record price for Canada.
Chief item of discussion was the
equalization of the tariff between Can;
acda and the United States, which will
give Canadian producers the needed
protection. The Association expressed
their intention to continue their effort's
to gain necessary protection for Can-

Following the cards the lunch com-
mittee was responsible for an added.
social hour, andall agreed that•the err
ening had been an enjoyable one.
The members are planning several
.more card parties before the winter
sasons ends,
CROWS SIGHTED
Spring just can't be• approaching yet.
But n good indication that Winter is
advancing rapidly was given last Wed-
nesday morning, February 1st, when
Ken Badley, 9th line of Morris Town-
ship, called The Standard Of[ice to re-
port two crows flying gaily about in
that neighbourhood.
Whether their appearance carried
any special significance or not, it was
stimulating to hear of their presence.
It will only be a matter of a few
weeks until we hear regularly of the
numerous signs that herald the ap-
proach of Spring, which incidentally
should come early this year if ever.
'Easter is early, and we've had a good,
ntendt' winter ever since the first of
December,
Meeting Hears A. N. Wilford
On Trade. Fair, Rutabagas
A small group met with A. H. Wil-
ford in the Memorial Hall library on
Thursday night to hear his report on
the progress being made • In the 1950
Western Ontario Trade Fair to be held
at the Blyth Community Centre arena
and grounds on May 15-16-17, Also
they heard him discuss briefly the
canning possibilities of the rutabaga,
which is at present undergoing inspec-
tion .tests under the Domkilon Gov-
ernment's pure food law's,
Mr.'Wilford displayed his signed con-
tracts for space which up to that time
numbered 107 entries, He also elabor-
ated on , new items of interest to be
included at this year's Fair, One of
these is a food dhtplay which will be
set up in the agricultural building,
Another is a used car inert which he
said, was meeting with favourable re.
sponse from ear dealer's of Huron
County. Ile disclosed that space in the
arena was sold out with n waiting list
that could only be' accommodated by
cnncellation of those now intending to
come. A pleasing feature,he said was,
that many of last year's exhibitors
were ,planning larger displays this year
and there wns n notable increase in the
font. frontage purchased by n corre-
sponding number of entries last year,
Ise was optimistic, that the time from
now until the Fair would see the list
of entries swell to 200 or better, '
(Something new in the way of decor-
ations will add to the attractiveness
of the event. Mr. Wilford was recently
successful in procuring from the City
of London some of the decorations
they used at their centennial,
. In connection with the Fair he sug-
gested to those present that• they
knead an optimistic word in its fav-
our whenever the opportunity was af-
forded them. Regarding the attendance
at the meeting he said "Great things
have been started by small groups,
and he was never one to be discourag-
ed by luck of enthusiasm and interest."
With respect to the canning of the
rutabaga, this project was in its infan-
cy, 'llhere was nothing of a realistic
nature to report other than that which
had already been brought to the at-
tention of the public. He had worked,
and woti.ld continue to work, for the
advancement of the rutabaga industry.
If such n thing ever happened that
there' was to be the establishment of
canning factory for the purpose of pro•
cessing rutabagas, the municipality
desiring it's presence in their midst
would have to be awake at all times
to the necessity of drawing nttentioe
to the many advantages prevalent in
their centre for such all industry, •
There were six present id the Meet-
ing besides Mr. Wilford,
Mary Robson, widow of the
John D. Philp,' of Listowel, passed
away at Mason Villa Hospital, London,
early Tuesday morning, February 7th,
following a long illno:s. She was in

The funeral service will be this
Thursday afternoon, Feb. 9th, from the I
Harrison funeral home, Listowel, with .
interment following In Listowel ceme-
tery, The service Is at 2 p.m.

Aim Is For 100 Percent Chuck
On All County Residents
Leading organizers in the current
campaign to plan for a muss chest x-ray
for TB in May of all persons in the
County, met in Clinton last Friday ev-
ening at the invitation of Judge Franc
Fingland, Clinton, who is chairman of
the campaign in Huron.
Held in the 'new assembly hall in
Ontario Street United Church, a ban-
quet serval by the ladies of the church
touched off the meeting which includ-
ed group discussions and n general
meeting of nearly 90 men and women.
Judge Fingland introduced his exe-
cutive committee, which consists of W.
P. Roberts, RR 3, Seaforth, vice-chair-
man of training; Elmer Bell, Exeter,
vice-chairman of regions; Mrs. J. 13.
Russell, Seaforth, executive secretary;
Dr, R. M. Aldis, Goderich, medical ad-
visor; Rev. A, Ninlmo, Wingham, vice •
chairman of professions, and a Mr.
Kennedy, Toronto, who* represents the
Department of Health and Welfare.
F. E. Madill, Wingham, chairman of
the Huron County TB Association,•
which Is cooperating with the Province
of Ontario, in carrying out the cam-
paign, commented on the Christmas
Seals sale which this year raised $9,500
in Huron County,
Judge Fingland recalled that this is
the third time in the County that a
chest x-ray survey has been carried
out. The Province is contributing
$14,000, and the County TB Association
will put forth up to $5,000,
According to Dr. Aldis, the Huron
County TB Association "is the spark -
plug of TB control in the county." He
commended the area for their progress
TB control within, the past few
years,
The Toronto representative mention-
ed that two weeks before there had
been only a dozen volunteer workers
is the survey campaign. At the time
of hast week's meeting the1e were '100.•
and "when the' machine starts to oper-
ate on May 14 (the first clinic will b'
held at Wingham) we expect to have
5,000 volunteers actively working for
the survey," said Mr. Kennedy.
CONFINED TII11000D ILLNESS
Friends regret the illness of Mr.
Leslie Johnston, which has confined
him to his home for the past number
of days, and hope to soon see him out
and in our midst again.
The Huron County TB survey, which
will begin next May 7, will require
the services of five thousand volunteer.•
workers to help reach the objective of
a hundred per cent of the eligible
population, that is, all persons of high
school age or over,
The need for such a large number
of workers was explained by C. 11
Bray, -of the Ontario Department of
Health, who pointed out at the organ-
ization meeting that the survey de-
pends on its success largely upon ade-
quate publicity and personal canvas;.
For this reason, the general survey' -
committee head, Judge Frank Fingland
Clinton, and the Huron TB Association',i
president, F. E. Madill, Wingham, have
set up an organization'which will reach
Into every corner of the county.
The main committees have already
been established, but Edwin P. Cher.
ney, Tuckersmith, chairman of the
canvass, points out that hundreds of
workers are needed to make sure tha',
every home hi the county is remincic r!
of the conning survey :4 that all mem-
bers will know when and where to go
to have their chests x-rayed,
The reason for taking such trouble
and setting up such a vast organization
is that health officials feel that the
survey will only be effective if every-
body presents himself at the mobile
clinics in May. Because it is an infec-
tious disease, which can be caught from
anyone who has TB and is not being
treated, .it is dangerous to have any
unknown cases in any community.
Years ago this fact was recognize,'
as applied to cattle and compulsory Tia
testing was instituted. While the test
is not compulsory for hunl5n beings, it
is clearly as important that the disease
be controlled in men and women as it
I cattle.
For this reason, every effort is heing
put forth to make the survey a ram-
, plete success. It is planned within the
next three weeks to try to recruit the
necessary five thousand workers, and
to this end committee members are al-
ready going through the county asking
for volunteers,
If Huron is to show the way incl
I chalk up the first all-out chest suivey
in a rural area, these workers are es-
sential.

Last Saturday was a lovely
morning — cold and bright —
so much nicer than the dull,
foggy, half -freezing weather we
had had for over a week. A day
that made you feel like settling
down to work and getting a few
"extras" done. "After all wno
minds the cold?" 1 remarked.
"No one — if they don't have
to be out in it any more than
you do." Partner replied. Well,
I didn't argue the point except
to say that although Partner is
in and out most of the day he
doesn't seem to mind the cold
either. Anyway, it was such a
lovely morning that, even
though it was Saturday, 1 went
ahead and got a two -week's
washing done. My washdays.
are controlled by the weather,
not the day of the week. I
was certainly glad 1 got busy
that time as, by mid -af'ter'noon,
the weather had changed again
and we were almost treezing
under the full force of a bitter
north-east wind. Our sunroom,
where 1 have nearly all my
plants, dropped down to 32 de-
grees and was getting colder. By
9 o'clock 1 was moving all the
plants on to the dining -room
table. And what a lob that was.
They are there yet as the wind,
as I write, is still howling
around the house, but fortun-
ately it has veered slightly
away from the east. However,
I guess our troubles are nothing
to what they are experiencing
in the Maritime provinces, it is
almost lantastic ti think of
miles and miles of power lines
brought down by freezing rain.
If we get a touch of the same
thing in Ontario think 01 the
thousands of homes that would
b(, left without heat. Hydio
power is a wonderlui conveni-
ence — until it tails, It is then
that homes with an oil furnace
and electric kitcher range get
cold in a hurry, 1 often think we
are inviting trouble when we
depend so much or electricity
for the comforts ana necessities
of life. And more particularly
when the wiring is old and in-
adequate For instance one lam-
ily 1 know of, moved into an old
farm house a few years ago.
They ' previously lived in the
city so of course their country
-home had to be entirely re-
modelled. Since then they have
installed almost every electrical
gadget on the market — from
an electric frying pan to an
automatic dishwasher. At
Christmas time they had a num-
ber of house guests, so, with all
the appliances, extra cooking
and many lights burning, they
spent most of one evening blow-
ing fuses and replacing them.

How they finally solved the
problem '1 don't know.
Increasing the number of ap-
pliances without inspection of
the wiring is like pouring into
a pitcher that is already. full —
and a lot more dangerous. Old
houses were never wired to
take the load that is expected
01 them now. Dee and Art
found that out to their sorrow
after moving to another house
last spring. They soon called in
an electrician to look over the
situation, What he discovered
in the way of faulty home -
wiring was a crime O1• course
everything is all right now but
it was naturally an unlooked for
expense.

cludes his visits to the hospital
for a little while Honey is hav-
ing her turn too ni,d is in the

lyzed hindquarters I asked
Daughter if Honey's hospitali-
zation came under the Blue
Cross. You can imagine her
answer. '
Well, we thought we had
heard almost everything in the
way of advice to farmers, but
last week Professor D. R.
Campbell, head of the 0 A.C.
came out with something quite
new. In brief he said there
were too pony farmers and
those in low income groups
should move to the city and
seek more profitable jobs in in-
dustry. As if young farmers
need encouragement in that di-
rection! Promising young fel-
lows, showing every indication
of becoming modern and pro-
gressive farmers, have already
been lured away by industry's
shorter hours and higher wages.
As for hired help a good man is
hard to get, In fact this problem
alone deters many farmers
from operating their farms to
capacity — and in that way
they, help increase the number
of ' low-income farmers. We
have a great many • industrial
plhnts in this district and jobs
are already being filled by men
and boys from nearby farms.
A young lad, who has already
quit farming for a factory work
would undoubtedly listen to
Professor Campbell's remarks
with glee, 1 can imagine him
turning to his father with the
remark — "There, Dad — you
see I am on the right track.
That chap says there are too
many farmers, And he should
know." A young f e l l o w
wouldn't stop to analyze the
statement and sift out the quali-
fying remarks;
It is all very confusing. A
great hue and cry about .lar•m
land being taken ovcl':`by 'the
St. Lawrence Seawa44. Depart-
ment of Highways, subdivisions
and industrial plants — and
then Professor Campbell says
in a public statement there are
too many farms. What are we
to think?
Lost Rings
Something that sparkled in
the gutter caught the eye of a
Swedish teacher as he hurried
home from school on a gloomy
afternoon recently. He picked it
up. It was a diamond ring,
He took his find to the near-
est police station.
"Well done," saidthe police
chief. "It's worth about $3,000
and belongs to an Indian prin-
cess who believes it fell from
her finger somewhere. She
treasures it so much that the
_ police of half Europe have been
looking for it,"
The princess, not knowing
where she had lost the ring
during her travels across Eu-
rope, .had asked Interpol - the
International Police Organiza-
tion — to help her find it. It
is believed to have lain for two
days in the guter unobserved.
The,teacher has received a sub-
stantial reward.
Queer stories of lost rings
restored to their own0S- are
constantly , hitting the. --World's
headlines.
Mrs, Louie, Hutchinson was
reluctant to tell her husband
when she lost her wedding ring
on their small holding near Up -
well, Norfolk. So she went out.
and bought another just like it.
That was a quarter of a century
ago.
Now her secret Is out. A short
time ago her husband was dig-
ging when he found the • first
ring— with an onion growing
through it,
A woman who for some time
lay in a Wellington hospital
with a broken leg sustained in
a road accident said the other
day: "I'm the luckiest woman
in New Zealand."
Why? Becouse at the time of
the crash a diamond worth -$1,-
000 was lost from her engage-
ment ring and police traffic in-,
spectors and relatives searched
vainly for it. A fortnight later
they, returned and found it, em-
bedded in a tuft of grass.

culating how much more you'll

Aluminum Horses
Caught between the swiftness
of the plane and the cheapness
of the bus, the old iron horse
has decided to revamp itself, in
tact, it is on 'the way to becom-
ing the aluminum horse.
Six railroads put their heads
together in 1954, thought up
some ideas as to what the train
,of the fuure should be like, and
asked builders to produce
samples. The 1st spectacular re•
sult, the Aerotrain built by Gen-
eral Motors,. was tested Thurs.
by both the New York Central
and the Pennsylvania. The
Central's run from Chicago to
Detroit cut one hour oft the
normal five-hour trip. The
Aerotrain hit 93 miles an hour
at one point. Perhaps more Im-
. portant, it rounded curves fast-
er.
The new coaches are hoods
of gleaming aluminum mounted
on steel under -carriages. They
weigh about half as much as
the conventional coach, and that
Is the key factor. They will cost
about 40 per cent less to build
when put into assembly -line
production, And their Diesel en-
gines will eat ,up far less fuel.
So, • while th-.new trains are
edging up to; thQ plane in the
(matter of spec !t is quite pos-
sible their far .t vi11 edge down,
toward thoseofrttie bus.
Robert R. Yafit , chairman of
the Central, wao'frank about the
plight of the trains as far as
passenger service is concerned;
be called it a "dying business,"
The train of tomorrow may be
the answer, In addition to the
Aerotrain, other versions• are in
the course of experimental pro-
duction by other builders.
We wish the aluminum horse
well. It is a fine example of
healthy competition, -- New
York Herald Tribune.

BALD EAGLES
Last October two ardent Duck
Shooters, Sandy Stuart and Doug
Matthews, had the thrill of a
life time.
While crouched in their duck
blind early one morning they
were startled at seeing a great
Bald Eagle swoop down and take
a look at their home-made de-
coys bobbing in the water. Af-
ter sizing up the situation and
apparently being satisfied with
the prospects of an appetizing
meal (from the wooden decoys),
the big bird pounced on its
choice seizing it by the head
and making off only to have
its breakfast jerked from• its
talons when the long anchor
cord tightened.
This interesting episode is re-
lated here as it seems to tie in
with the recerit article on Bald
Eagles published in "Conserva-
tion Corner" and reprinted be-
low.
"Under legal protection in
Ontario in recent years, Bald
Eagles have been enjoying a
slow but steady return to some-
thing resembling their former
'abundance. This is true in all
but areas most densely popula-
ted by humans, yet Bald Eagles
are by no means abundant in
Ontario, and probably never
will be, according to District
Forester A. J: Herridge, of the
Ontario Department of Lands
and Forests.
'Of the more than two dozen
.different kinds of bitds of prey
that occur in Ontario, only the
Bald Eagle, and the Osprey or
Fish Hawk are legally protect-
ed,' he points out, 'although all
but one or two species are es-
sentially or completely bene-
ficial to man's interest.
'The one large- area in North
America in which Bald Eagles
are truly abundant •Is in the
Territory of Alaska where, in
the' past, tremendous numbers
were killed primarily because
of their alleged depredations
upon the salmon.
'Because of .the controversy
that surrounds the economic
status of Bald Eagles, and be-
cause of the unusually high de-
gree of popular nterest which
attaches to these birds, they
have been the subject of much
study,' Mr. Herridge points out.
'Interest undoubtedly was
further aroused because early in
the history of the United States
the Bald Eagle was selected as
that country's national emblem
by Act of Congress, June _20,
1782, when a design for the
national Coat -of -Arms display-
ing the Bald Eagle was adopted.
'In their economic effects, the
carrion -feeding habits of the
Bald Eagle are considered to be
neutral. Walter Barrows, writ-
ing of conditions in Michigan
some forty years ago, which
are as true today, says,' Mr.
Herridge points out; '"Although
it ' frequently captures worthy
• prey, in open flight or by direct
attacks, it often robs the fish
hawk. When nothing better of-
fers, it feeds freely upon decom-
posing fish washed up along the
shore, or upon carrion, in com-
pany with the crow and the
raven.
"'True, it kills many rabbits,
grouse, ducks and waterfowl of
various kinds, and even stoops
to squirrels, mice and snakes;
but on the whole it confers . no
decided benefits on the agricul-
turist although, on the other
hand, it is not commonly in-
jurious, On rare occasions it
picks up a hen, usually at a
distance from the house, and in
the early spring it has been
known to destroy young lambs.
But these are not common of-
fences."'
'This is still essentially true in
most of Canada and the U.S,,'
says Mr. Herridge. 'The princi-
pal difference is that the Bald
Eagle's potential for either good
or harm is now significantly
less than it once was, because
of the bird's decreased numbers.
'In Ontario, Bald Eagles are
never likely to become . abund-
ant. If adequately protected,
however, by an understanding
and appreciative public, they
should remain in modest - num-
bers as an integral part of this
Province's wildlife population,'"

Danger A -head
Karl Schneider, Hitler's
chauffeur, who provided the
petrol for the Fuhrer's funeral
pyre, has returned from Russia,
saying that Hitler's head was
sent to Moscow soon after the
war.
The heads of people iwho died.
violent deaths have often gone
on strange journeys. When Mrs.
Ruxton was killed by her doctor
husband, her head was found in
a ravine in remote Scotland.
Mrs. Crippen's head was never
found but it is believed that Dr.
Crippen took it with him in a
handbag when crossing to
Dieppe and dumped it in mid -
Channel,
Another murderer who fav-
oured this technique was Kate
Webster, who killed her land-
lady, Mrs. Thomas. She carried
the old Lady's head in a black
handbag when she went to meet
friends and later dropped the
bag over a Thames bridge.
Sir Vere Goold also used a
handbag. He owed money to a
wealthy Swedish widow, Mad-
ame Levin, and when she press-
ed him for it, he killed her.
French police arrested him as
he was coaling out of a hotel
carrying her head in a handbag.
Some killers, moved by strange
impulse, have preserved the
heads of their victims. When
Voisin killed Madame Gerard in
Soho during the first world war
he preserved her head and hands
in a cask of bran. Sgt. Prey-
vost, a French gendarme, killed
Lenoble for some jewellery
which his victim had brought to
show him. He put the dead
man't head up the chimney
where it was smoked dry.
Another killer fascinated by
heads Was Madame Jabourvuskl
a Polish woman living in Paris
in the last century, who had a
number of young men admirer&
Their heads were found on her
premises, preserved in acid.
But when Voirbo cut up
Desiree Bodasse's body, he bor-
ed holes in the ears and filled
the head with molten lead. Then
he threw it into the Seine,

, HOW FRED McMURRAY
GOT HIS ,START
Many stars speak with mod-
esty about their appearances on
the screen, but Fred MacMur-
ray is almost disparaging about
his. Sometimes when he is mak-
ing a picture, he does a piece
of acting that satisfies him, he
said at a press luncheon in Bos-
ton, but "on the screen it
doesn't look quite like what I
thought I did."
Mr. MacMurray did a lot of
contract work before ventur-
ing out on his own. He got into
the movies because he went to
pick up his mail one day - at
least this is part of a story that
began somewhat earlier.
Y e
He was playing the saxa-
phone in a Hollywood pit or-
chestra when the band on stage
lost a s?'xaphone player. Mr.
MacMurray replaced him and,
because of a band contract, also
took his name, Ted Beach.
Somehow through a clerical
error, he became known as Rex
Beach. A fan of the author by
that name kept bothering Mac-
Murray alias Beach to find out
how he happened to have this
name.
At that time the band was
appearing in a New York re-
vue, "Three's a Crowd." Mr.
MacMurray said that his first
acting experience consisted of
standing and listening to
"Please Give Me Something to
Remember You By," sung by
Libby Holman, Just listening,
he recalled, is one of the actor's
hardest jobs.
The band went on to play in
"Roberta." Since the group had
been accustomed to travelling,
members' mail was sent in care
of a booking office. While he
was in "Roberta" Mr, MacMur-
ray went in to pick up his mail,
A clerk asked him why he
didn't gp into the movies. Mr.
MacMurray said he didn't know.
The clerk called the head of the
office, who also asked why Mr,
MacMurray didn't go into the
movies. Mr. MacMurray said he
didn't know.
Soon a .screen test was 'ar.
ranged, for which Mr. MacMur-
ray had• to borrow a top hat
and cane from Bob Hope, who
was also appearing in "Ro-
berta." So Mr. MacMurray did
go into the movies. He still
plays the saxophone once in a
while, but he is concentrating
on the guitar.
REPLACES MEG - "Alex" is the
new glamor girl of London's
Mayfair. She's Princess Alexan-
dra, and she's replaced her cou-
sin, Princess Margaret now 25.
Society columnists have been
calling 19 -year-old Alex "the
princess of 1956". She is said to
be more approachable than cou-
sin Margaret, who was consider-
ed regal and somewhat aloof.

vincial Government to present a brief

this brief deal with (1) That parity
prices be given for all faun products
consumed at home, (2) That the butter
support price be paid direct to the pro-
ducer and let the selling price find its
own level on, the open market and the
butter surplus would disappear, (3)
That we seek a national health and
welfare plan and request the Provincial,
Government to press the/Federal Gov-
ernment for immediate passage of
same. (4) That the pro -rating charge
of 20c per settlement on hogs be chang-
ed to a set fee of 5c per hog. (5) 'shaft
the price differential be changed back
to 40e per cwt. (6) That the Provincial
subsidy of $1,00 per hog be again ap
plied to'encourage quality production,
(7) That the school tax levy be placed
on residents only,

Impressions Of The Mardi Gras
(By Norma Daer)
Tuesday, Fcbrunry 14th, as well as
being Vnlenline's day is also Mardi Gra
clay this year and with that in mind,
my thoughts stray back to my visit a
year ago to New Orleans and the Mardi
Grua, which is part and parcel of the
fascinating Crescent City. What had
been merely u word to me became a
reality and a revelation when I Ind
the opportunity to participate in that
very colourful event.
The origin of the Mardi Gras (mean•
ing fat Tuesday) on this ,continept ,
seems to be shrouded in mystery but
'it is n known fact that several years
prior to the founding of New Orleans
in 1718, two French colonizers camped
one day on a bayou near the mouth ot,
the Mississippi River and, remember-
ing that it was Shrove Tuesday, named
this small stream Mardi Gros Bayou.
An old newspaper in 1838 gave an ac-
count of an organized street pageant,
although unorganized masquerading
took place on the streets prior to that
date. It was in 1857, however that the
street pageants began to assume their
present-day shape, beginning with the
Erma of Comte:. Through the years
ether organizations have appeared on
the scene and there are now sixteen.
The drays of days is of course on
Shrove Tuesday but for nearly two
weeks in advance there are nightly
end Sunday afternoon parades put on
by these different organizations. Each
chooses a theme to be carried out in
the floats in their parade and also each
:elects a king, for which honour he
has to pay between five and seven
thousand, -the money going into the
organization. From .the leading debu-
tantes of the city, the caption and the
executive committee picks a- queen and
she in turn has a court of eight. The
cost of a parade ranges from twenty to
Iffy thousand, this being mid by the
'embers of the carnival organizations
themselves, in the form of membership
(ties.
The first parade I witnessed was the
'crew of Momus (god of mirth) whose
theme "The Signs of the Zodiac" dc-
.pictcd the twelve nstrological symbols
of destiny. Literally thousands of
(people poured into the streets along
1'ie parade route which wound it's way
through the downtown arca, gaily de-
corated in the Mardi Gras colours of
green, yellow, and purple, through the
old historic French Quarters, termin-
ating at the Municipal Auditorium
where a very formal hall followed the
• parade each night. It was a common
sight to see parents carrying step lad-
ders with a make shift seat on top
where they perched their small fry,
so that they could see over the heads
..of their elders. This also protected
them from getting crushed In the mil-
ling throng, My cousin and I didn't
need to resort to a ladder for we had
propitious observation platform in
the back of a truck which n garage.
man friend of hers placed out in the
front of his service station for our ben•
ef(t (Just one example of that warm
routhern,hospitality that I experienced
many times over). Amidst the caco-
phony could be detected the frequent
wails of police and ambulance sirens,
the shouts of vendors with such wares
as balloons and peanuts, as well as the
tinkling bell on the ice cream carts.
Finally two policemen on motorcyc•
• les made a channel through the sen of
hunanit and the paI'ade was under
way. The first item as nlways was a
round truck equipped with an aerial as
high as the highest float so that should
PAGE 9 PAGE g
they encounter any low hanging bran-
ches or (vires, the situation was taken
care of. A contingent of mounted pol-
lee with a gleaming white horse in the
lead was followed by a number of dig-
nitaries `riding in open convertibles,
Then in a glittering gold carriage, came
the king resplendent in all his regal
finery, smiling and waving to the peo-
ple. Should they puss the home of a
former king, such a home being desig-
nated by a large ling hanging out in
front, the parade stopped while the
present king toasted the ex -king, When
they reached the City Hall there were
the traditional toasts, first the mayor
toasting the king, then the later re-
sponding to the queen.
Interspersed among the beautiful-be-
yond•description floats (about twenty
of them) were bands, mostly high
school bands from surrounding towns
and counties (or parishes as they're cal.
led in Louisiana), each with their own
sprightly and' high stepping majorettes,
As this kaleidoscope unfolded before
our eyes, one couldn't help but marvel
at the ability of designers to create
such splendour. All the men on the
floats were masked, in costume ahcl I
members of that particular organize- ;
tion. From•large bags at their feet they !
threw beads and other ornaments out
among the people, As you can well
imagine, there was much reaching and
grasping to obtain some of these trin-
1 kcts'as souvenirs. Whereas the floats
1 were once drawn , by horses, tractors
now perforin the duty.
Bringing up the rear of the parade,
ever ready for action, was the old re-
liable fire truck. It was amazing how
quickly such a mob • could disperse.
Before many minutes had elapsed, an
efficient crew of streets cleaners madc
their appearance and speedily cleared
away the debris and washed the streets
down.
An added attraction to the night pa-
rades were lighted flambeaux or torch'.
lights carried by negroes who with
their inborn. sense of rhythm pranced
jauntily along to the martial strains of
the various bands. Negroes are very
flattered and honoured to take part In
this way, for segregation is still a very
definite actuality in that southern city.
An impressive day parade was the
Mid -City with their floats displaying
the "Candy" motif. Each float had
some moving object on it such as a
large papier-mache Easter bunny pop-
ping in and out of a partial egg shell.
Once again I was moved by an over-
whelming admiration for those respon-
sible for the many clever and unique
ideas.
At last the BIG day arrived, and to
one uninitiated as to the makings of a
Mardi Gras, it was a day full of sur-
prises. A great ninny people dressed
in costume such as we do at Hallowe'en
and I'm sure there wasn't anything
overlooked in that line from the fam-
illar to the bizarre. An entire family
right down to junior in arms were at-
tired in polka dotted clown suits. A
group representing an African jungle
tribe, hadn't any trouble making their
way through the crowd for no one was
desirous to rub shoulders with that
"black grease," (Alas, I became so
involved and wearing a borrowed coot
at that.) Not forgotten .was Mary with
a real little lamb in tow. Even Liber -
ace and brother George got in the act
when they were impersonated by two
small boys on a miniature platform
complete with n child's size baby grand
piano, violin and candelabra. Certainly

"In commenting on the reference of
the Ontario Ivlarkcting het to the Sup-
; reme Court of Canada to test the le-
gality of the Act on certain points,
such r¢ the authority of a provincial
legislature to authorir. , deduction of
licence fees and service charges or:
regulated products," he said "it's
agriculture to take steps now to pro-
tect itself if the Ontario Marketing
Act is found to be beyond the power;
of the Provincial Government on any
point."
in conclusion he urged all farm
producers to demonstrate effectively to
governments at both federal and pro-
, vincial level their belief in the prin-
ciple of organized marketing backed
up by effective legislation, as the best
means of enabling agriculture to move
forward with .confidence in step with

THE VALUE OF SEED
CLEANING
Many Canadian farmers realize the
value of clean seeds, thanks to seed
drill surveys. M. E. Dodds of the Swift
Current Experimental Farm, Canada
Department of Agriculture, stresses the
'Importance of cleaning and grading
seed grain net only to ensure a clean
crop, but also to enable the seed drill
to be adjusted so that the correct a-
mount of seed may be planted per acs
re.
The rates of seeding variou3 cereals
have been established for the agricul-
tural areas of Canada based on clean
seed of 100 per cent germination.
Combined grain containing straw,
chaff, broken kernels and weed seed:
does not meet these requirements. An
attempt to seed this type of material
at the drill settings commonly recom-
mended per acre will result in consid•
erably smaller amount of viable seal
being sown.
Seed cleaning equipment should re-
move all foreign material and dockage
leaving only the large plump kernels
for seed. A germination test of this
seed will determine the drill settings
that must be used to place the recom-
mended amount of seed in the ground

Canada's hockey representatives at

on an international scale are all sports'

flounder in financial and morale diffi-

This lack of enthusiasm and support
is nation-wide, and we think that if
Canadians are going to compete In
further internale-nal competitions
which, while they shouldn't, do carry
such a trenlendous propaganda poten-

It looks like a long and tedious job
for our athletes to fit themselves for

and industry, dependable electric power at
rates among the lowest in the world, ri

-In the process, the Hydro family has grown
from the original 14 partner municipalities

sauerkraut enthusiast, you may
prefer the mellow flavor of raw
kraut or kraut that has just
been heated through. If you
prefer mild -flavored foods, you
will like it cooked for a longer
period or blended with other
food flavors.

It Was Really
Cold In England
To find some really cold win-
ters, you have to plunge back
through the old records — to
those teeth -chattering days when
even the swirling Thames was
frozen solid for months on end.
The howling arctic winds
brought misery to the poor, dis-
aster to shipping and chaos to
London's commerce. But they
also brought something wonder-
ful and new in entertaining to
the people of London — for
everything happened on ice.
The Thames, frozen to a
depth of many feet, became one
vast ice pantomime, presenting
each day a spectacle far more
varied and dazzling than any
modern ice show,
Skating and sledging were
popular, of course, with ox -
roasting a familiar sight, but
there were many other amuse-
ments which Londoners devised
for these "Frost Fairs" when-
ever the North Pole came to the
Thames: Football, "shooting at
marks," bull- and bear -baiting,
horse and coach races, skittles,

SHE TRIED A STOVE ONCE—Still cooking in a stone fireplace is Mrs. Joe -Holloway, who lives
with her husband in a mountain home. "I tried a stove once," she says."Unhandiest thing
you ever saw. Had to cut and tote wood for it and for the fireplace, too . , . And the food,
well, a stove just takes all the taste out of your cooking." So she sold the stove. While she
prepares the meal in the fireplace, above, her husband sits in an old chair reading the Bible for
entertainment.
lotteries, dancing, puppet plays,
donkey rides, menageries — and
even fox - hunting on ice,
Tradesmen found that if they
didn't want to go broke they
had to take their shops down
to the ice where the customers
could be found.
And so, in "Freezeland St,,"
as it was called, rows and rows
of shops and stalls were set up
to please promenading London-
ers.
On January ist, 1684, says
diarist John Evelyn, whole
streets of booths were set out
on the river 'and soon "the
Thames was filled with people
and tents selling all sorts of
wares as in the City."
There was even a printing
press where, says the diarist,
"the people and ladys took a
fancy to having their names
printed, and the day and yeare
set down, when printed on the
Thames, This humour took so
universally, that 'twas estimat-
ed the printer gained about $15
a day for printing a line onely
at sixpence a name, besides
what he got by ballads,"
One row of tents stretching
across the centre of the river
was known as Temple Street and;
consisted of taverns' and coffee- ••
shops with signs such as. "Duke
of York's Coffee House," "The
Tory Booth," and "The Booth
with a Phoenix in it,'
One • of the 'earliest • recorded '
Frost Fairs, or Blanket Fairs,
was in December, 1150, in the
reign of • Stephen when there
was "so great a frost that horses
and carriages crossed the ice
as safely as upon the dry ground,
the frost lasting till March.'
Royalty often took a lively
interest in these ice festivities.
In December, 1554, Queen Eli-
zabeth walked on the ice and
courtiers from the Palace of
Whitehall mixed with low-
lier citizens,
King Charles II took part in
a fox - hunt on the Thames —,
on these occasions the hunts-
men, armed with long clubs,
followed the hounds on foot.
Or February 2nd, 1684, he apd
his Queen joined in the ox -eat-
ing jollifications, and once he
spent the night on the frozen
river.
That same year the Duke of
'York — later James II —
wrote to his son-in-law, William
of Orange (who was destined to
supplant him on the throne),
saying, "The weather is so very
sharp and the frost so great that
the river is quite frozen over,
so that for these three days past
people have gone over it in sev-
eral places and many booths
are built on it • between Lam-
beth and Westminster where
they roast meat and sell drink."
But it was not until 1739 that
London had a "really hard win•
ter" by the standards of those
days. Many people who had
lived in Hudson Bay territory
said they had never known it
colder in that frozen wilderness
than it was in London.
Ships w ere sunk by huge
blocks of ice grinding into them
and damage in one section of the
river was estimated at $500,000.
Watermen, fishermen and vari-
ous classes of labourers were
unable to work and their fami-
lies would have starved save
for gifts from the wealthy.
But the rest of London de-
termined to get as much plea-
sure as possible from the icy
conditions, Ox - roasting, with
plenty of ceremonial, was a
favourite event,
"Mr. Hodgeson, a butcher of
St. James's Market," said a his-
torian, "claimed the privilege
of knocking down the beast as
a right inherent in his family,
his father having knocked down
the ox roasted in the river in
1684, as he himself did that
roasted in 1715 near llungerford
Stairs;"
Walked 26 Miles On Sea Bed
A veteran of deep-sea diving •
sat in a weed -festooned truck
one hundred and fifty feet be-
low the Pacific Ocean, thought-
fully fingering the rusted con-
trols. The truck was in the hold
of a sunken .freighter—and the
freighter slumped on the yawn-
ing crater of a live volcano • on
the ocean bed.
Yet this thrill forms just an
incident in the latest exploit of
63 -year-old "Johnno" John-
stone, as he captains a team of
experts bent on salvaging some
of the forty-seven Japanese
warships and merchant vessels
sunk during the war in Rabaul
Harbour, New Britain.
They're working among ships
stuffed with bombs and tor-
pedoes, that at any moment may
roar sky-high.
Only a few years ago the last
volcano eruption shot up a new
island rising to a rocky cone
600 feet high, the third map -
changing , convulsion experi-
• enced' at• Rabaul in modern
times. Man-eating sharks and
nine -foot sea snakes also In-
fest the ocean depths. Johnna
was working on one of the hulks
when a shark glided close
enough to "kiss" him.
',What was I to do?" he ar-
gued,.
r-gued,. explaining how the man-
eater nuzzled his diving helmet,
"1 just went on with my job,
knowing the unfamiliar contact
of rubber and steel were as de-

• On one occasion, Johnno's
team were troubled by a groper,
a codlike tropical fish with
snapping jaws that have snap-
ped head or arms •from many a
Javanese diver. Johnno laid a
charge of explosives to its cav-
ern lair and blew the 262 Ib.
monster out of the water.
Infact, when Johnno was per-
suaded 'to go to see "20,000
Leagues Under the Sea" at a
Sydney cinema, he couldn't
help yawning. Fiction couldn't
compete with the one man in
the world who has actually
The ox was fixed to a stake
and Mr. Hodgeson "came dress-
ed in a rich laced cambric ap-
ron, a silver steel, and a hat and
feathers to perform the office."
The longest freeze-up, in 1814,
lasted from . Christmas until
March 20th. The river present-
ed a solid surface from Black-
friars Bridge. to London Bridge
and "thousands perambulated
the rugged plain whereon a
variety of amusements was
provided,"
Among these was the cere-
mony of roasting a small sheep,
for which speetators,were charg-
ed sixpence. The •meat, when
cooked, was sold at a shilling
a slice and called "Lapland
Mutton."
The tremendous profits made
by stall -holders brought more
and more "easy money" pedlars
and racketeers to try their luck,
Swings, bookstalls, skittles,
dancing booths, merry-go-rounds,
and sliding barges appeared in
scores. Trashy articles that
would never have sold on land
were raked out from attics and
cellars and "flogged" at double
and treble their value.
Big profits were made by don-
key owners who hired out their
animals at a shilling a ride,
At last, however, the ice
began to crack and the thaw ad-
vanced rapidly, to the great dis.
may of stall -keepers, typo-
graphers and publicans, who had
to move fast to save their goods
from floating away.
In et few days the ice broke
up completely in the strong
sunshine and Old Father Thames
went rolling along once more
walked 47,000 yards — over
twenty-six miles — on the sea-
bed,
Midway between Tasmania and
the mainland of Australia, the
breakdown of the submarine
telephone cable was troubling
the authorities. Johnno agreed
to investigate by walking along
the length of the cable at a
depth of one hundred and twen-
ty feet.
This was simple enough while
his cable -ship remained within
the pratection of the shore, but.
once in the open strait the ship's
speed was accelerated by wind
and tide. And Johnno on his at-
taching shotline found himself
having to run to keep upl
To avoid exhaustion he de-
cided to tie himself to the grap-
nel on a short ranging line. But
when the cable -ship .rose on a
wave he rose with her, often as
high as twenty feet.
He wasn't sorry when he dis-
covered the source of the tele-
phone trouble. The force of the
tidein the notorious Bass Strait
had tangled the cable into
splintered coils like a wire en-
tanglement as high as a house.
As a youngster Johnstone
worked in a Liverpool dockyard
as a shipwright, But he has
never regretted the emigrant
impulse that brought him, not
only adventure but turned him
into one of Australia's richest
men.
• Isis biggest job, the recovery
X6,000,000 bullion from the
liner Niagara as she lay 438
feet deep in' a war -time mine-
field, made salvage history.
Johnstone made hfs first de-
scent in a glass -windowed div-
ing-bell—and the treacherous
ocean currents neatly knotted
the anchor wire of the bell in
a mine cable.
Only one thing could be done.
The bell was gently ' raised.
Johnno went down in ordinary
diving dress and clambered up
the mine cable to attach sweeps
to it,
His air hose tangled round the
horns of the mine and he had to
free it. For a few minutes the
mine nearly touched the plates
of the salvage ship and Johnno
had to interpose his body as a
soft cushion. Later, another
mine actually bumped against
the salvage ship, Claymore, but
failed to explode. Another ex-
plosion nearly . knocked Johnno
silly but did no other damage.
And when the Claymore was
at last atached to the hulk of
the Niagara a storm snapped the
mooring lines, In his diving ball
Johnno was hurled down the
sloping decks of the . sunken
liner and burled : in the mud
alongside her. •
It took three hpdrto ' raise
him to safety.
Eventually, the increasing
gales made ordinary mooring
impossible. Six-ton'. blocks of
concrete were thrown down to
serve as sheet anchors. •
With only . a submarine lamp,
Johnstone had to locate the bul-
lion room in the heart of the
ship and direct the placing of
each high -explosive charge by
a grab. Every explosion stirred
up so much mud that Johnno
sometimes had to wait hours to
see what happened.
The placing of the final ex-
plosive charge at the very door
of the strong -room had to be
judged to a fraction, Too much
would scatter the ingots over
the floor of the ocean. Diver
Johnstone says he .had never
lived through such hours of
anxiety in his life as he waited
for the swirling mud to clear,
Then the grab lifted a small
pine box to the surface. As it
touched the Claymgxe it broke,
scattering gleaming ingots over
the decks.
After 295 boxes had been sal-
vaged, the diving bell was
lowered into the strong -room
and Johnny saw he had cleared
the cupboard, No other man in
salvage history has swept Davy
Jones' locker so clean so often,
Bounties Useless
Despite the payment of boun-
ties on red' foxes in Wisconsin
during the past decade, the ani-
mals bountled'annually have in-
creased by more than 15,000 ac-
cording to the Wildlife Manage-
ment Institute,
Only in special instances do
informed biologists 'condone the
payment of bounties for .the
taking of troublesome animas,
Work in the various States has
shown that the general bounty
system is a waste of public
funds. General predator control
work brings little recognizable
benefit to wildlife, and control
efforts might better be focused
directly against those few indi-
vidual animals that become
bothersome to landowners.
Singing Shrimps
Queer sounds made by
shrimps off the Pacific coast of
south California • are fascinat-
ing U. S. Navy research tech-
nicians. These shrimps, which
are nearly as big as prawns,
talk to each other -- and some-
times sing - by snapping their
claws, it has been discovered.
The shrimps make so much
noise that• submarines can use
it as a shield to evade detection
by the electronic sound devices
used by surface ships.
Research into the breeding
habits of shrimps is taking place
in the Mediterranean and in
Japan, where it is believed that
shrimps have souls. Fish res-
taurant owners in Tokyo have
built a $35,000 shrine for the
souls of shrimps.
Then there was the very, very
old gentleman who read The
Times in bed every morning

TII FMM FRONT
Rapidly expanding use of
electrical farm production
equipment is confronting the'
farmer with anew problem: His
farmstead wiring, for the most
part is not large enough to han-
dle it,
• • • •
. Recommendations as to what
this .wiring should be are con-
tained in the completely revised
edition of "Farmstead Wiring
Handbook" just off the press.
• • «
Published ,by the Interior
Committee on . Interior. Wiring
Design, the new 48 -page manual,
supersedes an original edition
published in 1946. It lists a new
- set of minimum standards which
in, the electric industry's opinion
are necessary if the farm is to
- be adequately wired for present
and future needs,
r
* •
It is not a book on how to in-
stall wiring, it is a book on how
to plan wiring, The handbook
recommends and suggests such
things 'as sizes of wire, number
and location of outlets to help
the farmer improve the effi-
ciency, convenience and ade-
quacy of his electric ,service,
• •• •
The handbook is divided into
three sections: Interior wiring
design, outdoor electric distri-
butioti; and a series of tables
which. show wire sizes needed
to carry various electrical loads.
All are explained in easy -to -
understand text and diagrams,
• * •
The interior wiring section
covers practically every farm
electrical application from those
in- dairy and poultry structures,
to barnyard lighting and water
systems, The exterior wiring
, section contains all-new chap-
ters on three-phase service, iso-
lated motors, emergency service
and underground services and
feeders.
Just how much greater use
the U.S, farmer Is making of
electric power is shown in these
ferg In 1930, says the hand-
book, a three -wire, 60 -ampere
electrical connection was con-
sidered adequate to service most
farms. By the end of World
War II, 60 to 100 amperes or .
more were needed. Today, an
upsurge in the development and
purchase of new equipment,
particularly those operating on
230 -volts, is putting a still great-
er strain on most farms' wiring.
Thus, some farmers are finding
even 200 -ampere service to be
inadequate.
• « •
Some of the handbook's
changes and additions:
* Service entrance panels
now in most cases should be
200 -amperes or larger, and serv-
ice entrance conductors should
be no smaller than No. 2 copper
or. 0 aluminum.
. • • •
* All branch circuits in farm
buildings are now recommend-
ed. to be 20 amperes. .

Thrilling Tale
War, in all its aspects of hero-
ism, horror and brutality, pro-
vides an unending stream of
graphic material for the author's
pen and colour for the artist's
brush. A great many of the
books and canvases follow a
set pattern; occasionally one
effort stands out in more vivid
contrast. .
And such a book, devoid of
romance and concerned solely
with the hard-hitting simplicity
of truth, is "Doctor At Dien -
Bien -Phu."
The author, Major Grauwin,
is a French army doctor, who
administered to the needs of the
ill-fated garrison at Dien -Bien -
Phu in Indo-China, when under
siege by the Communists. His
narrative is not concerned with
military strategy but the cars
of the wounded.
As the siege wore on and the
toll of casualties mounted to
over -whelming proportions, the
doctor found it impossible to
accommodate those who were
on the way to recovery — the
abdominal cases, amputations,
limbs in plaster, chest wounds,
those who had lost an eye.
To make room for the never-
ending stream of new casual-
ties, former patients had to be
returned to their units. These
men, not content to rest idle—
the phrase is ironical—begged
their officers to be allowed to
carry on the struggle.
"I've still got one arm left and
I've not forgotten how to throw
lr grenade" ... "Let me have
that machine-gun. I've only got
one leg . . , give me a chest to
sit on" . . , "I've still got one
eye—let me have that totnmy-
gun," Nearly all these were
wounded a second time; a third
of them were killed.
Precious drugs, sorely needed,
were dropped by parachute'. . .
mostly to fall into enemy hands.
The field hospital became a sea
of mire and soiled dressings.
Still the gallant doctor and his
colleagues operated and tended
the casualties in appalling con-
ditions.
It became . difficult to walk,
the operating theatre—a rein-
forced dug-out—was ankle deep
in mud, and boots had to be
wrenched- out of it after the au-
thor had stood stationary while
performing an operation. There
was no time to remove foot-
wear, and the skin on the feet
of the operating staff, shut 'up
in the damp boots, turned an
alarming colour.
Captain Hantz of the medical
service, a colleague of Major
Grauwin, operated night and
day without respite, In twenty
days he successfully carried out
more than 250 urgent surgical
operations. "A feat," states the
author, "bordering on the mi-
raculous." And these were per-
formed with shell -splinters ri-
cocheting off the logs over the
roof of his theatre.
Wounded men, brought to the
shelter for surgical attention,
died. They had not died of their
wounds, or from any ill-effects
of the anaesthetic. They had
died of sheer exhaustion. De-
spite fearful odds and heavy
bombardment, the medical serv-
ice carried on.
Unselfish and unstinted devo-
tion to duty was of the highest
quality, And the heroism of
Genevieve de Galard, the one
nurse who stayed until the bit-
ter end, will never be forgotten.
At times her patient under-
standing and sympathetic mini-
sterings did more to relieve the
pain -racked bodies of the
wounded than perhaps did the
treatment of the surgeon,
Her unselfishness was a by-
word, On, one occasion Major
Grauwin passed in front of
Genevieve's sheltr, He peeped
in to see whether she was all
right. GnevIeve was not there.
On the bed was a man covered
with gauze and adhesive plaster,
and two more on the' floor, one
with a splint on his left leg, the
other with a huge dressing on

Guidance for Effective Praytsif
Luke 18:1-14
Memory Selection: The effectu-
al fervent prayer of a righteous
man availeth much. James 5:111
Today's scripture teaches
three important lessons regard-
ing prayers, "Men ought always
to pray," Paul said, "Pray with-
out ceasing." Our praying is too
spasmodic, Many never think of
prayer until they get in trouble.
It's like a spare tire; only to be
thought of in time of trouble.
But life is off centre that way.
We ought always to pray. Then
life will run more smoothly and
we shall accomplish much more
for God and our fellowmen.
Jesus taught persistence in
prayer. The widow kept pester-
ing the judge until he took up
her case. So we must continue
in prayer. "Ask, and it shall be
given you; seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you." Seeking is
stronger than asking and knock-
ing emphasizes persistence. But
we may wonder, "If it is God's
will to give it to me, why should
I have to continue knocking."
Continuing instant in prayer
does something to us. After
continual knocking we may be
in a humble attitude so that we
are better fitted to receive the
gift. We may need a disciplin-
ing of our own spirit.
Jesus teaches sincerity in
prayer. The Pharisee's prayer
was a soliloquy which exhibited
his own conceit. He mentioned
no fault of his own, but enum-
erated the sins of others in order
that he might congratulate him-
self upon his superior morality.
Such praying . received no ail-
swer from .God, •apd doubtless
none was expected. There wo';
really nothing to answer, as he
asked for nothing, but merely
informed the Almighty how
good he was.
The Publican's prayer is much
diferent. He stands afar of. Ile
confesses with shame that he
is a sinner. His prayer was a
cry of the heart, simple, concise,
stirred, it speaks in telegrams."
In one brief sentence he sum-
med up his soul's need, and that
need was for mercy.
Let us experience more fully
the benefits of prayer.
his head. Genevieve had given
up her shelter to her friends—
the wounded.
"Doctor At Dien -Bien -Phu" is
a monument to the selfless
courage of Genevieve and of
men like Major Grauwin who,
under terrible stress, made the
sufferings of others their con-
stant concern. •
Bars are something which, it
you go into too many of, you
are apt to come out singing a
few of, and maybe land behind
some of.

FILMES FOR TEAM OF OXEN GIVEN
BY MORRIS FEDERATION
At their meeting Iasi Thursday night
the Morris Township Branch of ,the
Federation of Agriculture agreed to
donate three substantial prizes towards
furthering interest in the forthcoming
Township Old Home Week.
U.S, CATTLE ON THE
• CANADIAN MARKET
During the month of December, 1955,
approximately 5',000 head of cattle, the
majority grading red and blue quality,
moved into Canada from the United
States.
The large movement into this country
during the latter part of last year was
the result of a widening in the price
spread between the two countries. In
December the number of red and blue
quality cattle coming on the market in
Canada decreased, resulting in a streng-
thening of the Canadian prices for the
top grades. At the same time the Uni-
ted States prices were falling off and
finally reached the point where Uni-
ted States shippers could sell their cat-
tle on the Canadian market at a profit,
even considering the expenses involved
in shipping them over the line.
The monthly, average for reds ant'.
blues in Canada for 1955 was about
11 500 and the December average ran
around 10,000 head, The price on the
Toronto market in December for top
grades averaged about $19,38, This was
approximately $1.85 above the price on
the Chicago market for cattle of sim-
ilar quality,
The Branch will give three, cash
prizes for the best team of oxen, hitch-
ed to a vehicle, and entered in the pa-
rade to be held at Brussels on Mon-
day, August 6th.
Among other business the Branch
donated $10,00 each to the Blyth and
Brussels Agricultural Societies.
The meeting was held at the home
of jr.hHoward Wilkinson.
The 'flu bug" has hit this community,
Those more seriously effected are Mrs.
Alfred Rollinson, Miss Elma Mutch,
Mrs, Donald Haines and Mr, George
Beadle.

cared Mr, E. L. Ross, National White

Council of the Blind, and The Cunadian
National Institute for the Blind; "Peo-
ple were so gracious," Mr. Ross said,

in a pleasant, friendly manner dissolv-
ed my doubts with courtesy and assis-
tance," •

cutive year by C,C,H. and C,N,LB,, the
Week will present the achievements of
the sightless in a Canada -wide cdur,i-

"While the offer of a guiding hand
along the street gives confidence to the
sightless the achievements of the

Mr. Ross observed, Ile spoke of the
numerous blind sten and women who

cheerful senile, they develop confidence
in their sighted customers," he pointed
gout, "while blind workers on the as-
sentbly lines of Canada's industries
create confidence by carrying their
share of the day -today job, The blin4l
who serve the public in occupations
such as piano tuning and repairing
have an additional opportunity to de-
velop the confidence of their clients,"
Mr. Ross explained that confiticnce In
Die sightless grows not only through
' contact with the sighted in the ran•
teen and industrial placements Z C.11,
t 1.13., but through the terrcatlon pro
,11.1.1.,
grain of C,C.13. A volunteer organiza-
tion, mode up of sightless members
the C.C.B. links almost 60 clubs 'of the
blind from St, John's to Victoria, who
conduct -a year round 'recreation p`ro•
grant. Bowling, n a'nriely of card games
and dancing, are only n few of the'win-
ter features.
"Ali these activities create confidence
in the White Cane currier," Mr. Ross
said, "and in each event, the helpful
understanding and consideration of our
sighted friends is most appreciated,"
Because of this understanding, blitnd
Canadians are now accepted 118 useful
citizens. The • message of the White
Cane is kuuwn everywhere, It means
the blind may step forward with se-
curity even In a strange city, bciause
the White Cane Creates Confidence,
