Judge .Frank Fingland Discus
ses TB X-ray at LionsMeeting

Judge Frank Fingland was the guest
speaker at the Lions Club meeting held
Thursday evening of last week, Lion
Norman Garrett introduced Judge Fing-
land, stating that it was an honour to
• have a man of his distinction speak to
-- the .club,
In addressing the club, Judge Fing-
land spoke on a subject which Is close
to his heart, the mass TB X-ray cam-
paign of which he is the chairman,
He expressed the sincere hope that all
residents of the County above the age
of 'fourteen years would take advantage
of this service which is to commence
on or about May 14th. It' is advertis-
ed 'as free but it will cost the Province
$14,000.00 for technicians, films, etc,,
and the County of Huron approximate-
ly $5000.00, The elaborate plan, for the
• organization set up for the mass X-
ray as mapped out by the Department,
will involve approximately 3,000 von.
untary workers with just- the secretary
receiving any remuneration. It is hop-
/ that 35',000 residents .will be X-ray-
s'
ed as compared to 15,000 in the last
campaign, A census group in each
community will check the people in the
hope that all will be accounted for.
Many people have said: "I haven't got
TB." but after tests it has been proved
they have. He said, we are living iii
a society and not to ourselves, so why
should we carry a disease in our bodies
and be free to transmit • it to others.
By diplomacy we hope to break down
the negative attitude of a good many
people. We should take every avail-
able opportunity to publicize the X-ray
campaign and it is hoped everyone ap-
proached to help will do so gladly,
• Judge Fingland spoke further on the
subject of courts, He stated that a
good many people haven't a very high
• opinion of courts because the legal pro-
fession have not done a very admirable
job on them. When witnesses are cal-
led they are so poorly paid, the fac-
ilities are poor, and they do not know
what to do or where to -go. He is'prob.
ably told to go home and come bac:c
the next day and when he finally, takes
the stand has a lot of questions thrown
at hint and is given a rough time
through cross examination by the op:
posing lawyer. He said occasionally
witnesses do not tell the truth and told.
of a lawyer named Hartley iii the early
days who was brilliant and' ruthless,
who tired the case of a French cane-
dian woman, cross questioning her for
days without being able to break down
her evidence, finally about to give up
he turned away when he heard her
mutter something and turning quickly
asked her what she had said, and fin-
ally she broke down and told the truth,
Judge Fingland told of the courts at
'different levels, Supreme Court, Mag-
istrate's Court, the Surrogate Court and
the County Judge's , Court, outlining
the class of cases that came before each,
He told something of the history of law
dating back to King Henry I, who set
up the British Legal System known
as the common law of England. where
judges travelled around England and
stabilized the law. At this time the
church was allowed to Influence law.

and other fees. This system changed
in the time of Henry VIII who was not
. satisfied with, one wife and could not
get sanction from the church in Rome
for more than one, so he took away
from the church the judiciary power in
connection with the law.
Judge Fingland, in conclusion, con-
gratulated the club on their fine spirit.

Slick Chick - Outslicked
. By Local Businessman
Most of the businessmen on main
street have been bothered pestered,
or amused at times by people coming
to town with various sales talks on
items that stores should stock, etc.
Not the least of these are the beau-
tiful young ladies who appear period-
ically, working their way through col-
lege,, and selling magazine subscrip-
tions as 9 means to that end.
Most mat are gallant, and obser-
vant. They dislike to hurt anyone's
feelings, particularly the feelings of
beautiful young. ladies, working their
way through college, so they dilly-
dally, looking for an excuse, and while
they dilly-dally, the little lady is writ-
ing up a receipt, and suddenly a
strange magazine begins arriving. Now
if it arrives.at the store, perhaps all's
well end good, But if it arrives at
home where the lady of the house
sees it, there may be an awkward ex-
planation in the offing.
All this leads up to one thing. stow
to say no to a "beautiful young lady, and
do it gallantly.
The stunt used by one of our main
street vendors this week. may not take
the award for gallantry, but it cer-
tainty topped the list for quick think-
ing and gave the desired results.
This man was busy shovelling off
the sidewalk: In front of his business
place When the young Indy approached
hint regarding n magazine subscrip-
tion, His reply was instant and final;
He explaln6d to her that he was on
relief and working for the town, and
even though his heart was syntpath-
etic towards her cause, he simply could
not afford a subscription under exist-
ing financial conditions..
His story was convincing. The young
Indy gave him a sympathetic look,
and moved on her way in search 'of a
more fruitful prospect.

Blyth Co -Op, Second Term
Blyth Second Term
More than 50 shareholders of Blyth
Co -Operative Cheese Factory met in
the Memorial Hall Tuesday afternoon
for their eleventh annual meeting,
President, William Dalrymple was In
charge of the meeting,
Two interesting films was presented,
one on "Tuberculosis and Treatment,"
the second, "Tete Art of Cheese -Mak-
ing."
W. A. Gregory, of Ridgetown, repro.
santed the auditors and presented and
explained fully the financial state-
ment, sununing it Up thusly: Every in-
dication is for a better year in 19511,
Prices paid are controlled by competi-
tion. Price of cheese may be better
next year, The statement shows there
has been an increase In sales, Butter
manufacture was up considerably.
Steady volume and high quality of lnillc
is necessary to operate successfully.
A friendly, constructive discussion
with Mr, Gregroy followed the presen-
tation of the financial statement,
Mr. Lorne Schenk of Milverton,
cheese Inspector, stated that Manager
Carman Hodgins wasn't the only cheese
maker who had recent disappointment,
with cultures, but again new cultures
had been developed and were giving
satisfaction, Vats of cheese made with
these new cultures scored 94 percent,
It is most important Mr, Schenk stated
that high quality of milk be retained,
Loss in qualit. cost the Canadian milk
products' $50,000 last year. The dairy
Industry is by no means n small indus-
try. It is valued at over 900 million
dollars. We are becoming a more
cheese -eating nation, and are now eat-
ing about 61 lbs. per person annually,
Mr. Schnek complimented President
Wm. Dalrymple and Cheese Maker
Carman Hodgins on a job well done.
Mr. A, R. Parkinson, Wingham, cream
Inspector, stated butter made in Blyth
factory has improved and cream' pat-
rons have increased. The butter sit-
uation in Canada is "up" and the in-
crease in Ontario is comparble to other
provinces, The whole outlook for 1954
is favourable to the dairy business,
George Watt, a past director and
president, and now a director of the
Ontario Cheese Producers' Association,
stated: "The cheese consumption in
Canada has greatly increased, but the
cheese producers are asking that the
tariff on imported cheese be increased,"
"The deify Industry," Mr. Watt claimed'
"is not doing enough advertising of
their own product. Farmers in this
district owe the 0.Op more than they
will admit."
W. H. Barlow of Woodstock, coin -
mended the auditor on his statement
and complimented the Co -Op on the fine
quality of cheese they are producing.
He stated: "The outlook for cheese Is
bright and we hope the price peaks
and valleys are over and that the price
is levelling off. We are now free to
trade with individual buyers in Eng-
land."
Cheese Maker Carman Hodgins said:
"I am not critical, but we must l.cep
up the high quality," He explained
how the milk Is carefully strained on
arrival at the factory,

dent, said it ryas encouraging that the

fice,
Director Martin Bann expressed ap-
preciation to retiring directors George
Watt and Stanley Lyon, .-

dent followed the annual meeting when

second year as president, and Nelson
Picket!, vice president.

ings was set for the first Tuesday of

Leap Year Baby, Robert
Newcombe 92 Years Young
Blyth friends will join with The
Standard this week in extending sin-
cere birthday congratulations to Mt'.
Robert Newcombe on the occasion of
his 92nd birthday,
Mr, Newcombe always made a joke
of the fact that he was a Leap Year
baby, bora on the 29th of February,
consequently he only had an official
birthday every Leap Year. At view of
this he divided his age by four so this
year Itis is 23, which probably is the
reason for his youthful spirit and alert-
ness.
We are pleased to report that he has
been enjoying excellent health, ane
we trust that the future holds touch
more happiness and good health in
store for him,
ATTENDED CLINTON MEETING
Messrs, Fred Howson, Wm. Moun-
tain, Welter Buttell, Keith Webster,
Norman Garrett mus Rev. A. W. Wat-
son were in Clinton on Sunday after-
noon, attending the Huron Presbytery
Men's Council, at the Ontario Street
United Church. The guest speaker was
Mr. Aubrey Oldham of Sarnia,
Their was great rejoicing among the
Auburn supporters at the Blyth arena I
'on Monday night as their rural league
!hockey team qualified to meet the 13th
of Hullett In the Blyth Rural League
Finals, I
To qualify, Auburn shoved the Blyth
Rural Leaguers into the discard for .
this year at least, and won their third
victory in the best three-out-of•five
semi-finals round,
On Friday night they shot to the
front in the series when they' won
a 6-4 decision. Previously the teams
had been tied at one win each. Fri-
day night saw the teams battle on ev•
en terms until, the third period, when
!Auburn appeared to have that little .
extra needed to tuck the decision away.
The story was almost repeated on
Monday night. Auburn held a 3 to 1
goal advantage at the end of the first
!period. Blyth carte to life in the se-
cond period and tied the score, and
in the opening minutes of the third
period went into a temporary lead.
Auburn however, showed their super-
iority by retaliating with three goal:
to win the decision 7 goals to 5, and
the series 3 games to 1.
We think the members of the Blyth
team will agree with this reporter.
that they were beaten by a team with
a little more skating and stick -hand•
ling finese, and also with more man-
power,
1
The series was keenly contested,
with tempers getting out of control at
times, but everyone ended in n spirit
of good friendship with the best wish-
es of the vanquished going to the vic-
tors for continued success.
Some casualties resulted from the
series. George Haggitt was hurt in the
Friday night game, and it was first
feared that his leg might have been
broken but George was back in the
line up Monday night with no notice-
able 111 effects,
Doug, Whitmore was minus from
some of the games, including the final
one when' an old arm injury gave
trouble following a crash into the
boards, and Blyth was also minus the
services of defenceman Ed. Watson in
the final game. Eddie was suffering
from an arm and leg injury. The only
mishap in the final game went to Reg_
Hesselwood, Blyth" defcncentan, who
took the full force of a stick end in the
stomach, relieving him of his breathing
facilities for a time. Reg was helped
to the dressing room by his mates, but
returned fresh as a daisy for the third
and final period,
Good Crowds At Flinal Two Games
Last week the Blyth team advertised
their now -famous door prize of $100 to
the 1000th person to buy an admission
ticket at the game Friday night. Some
fans got mixed up and thought the
gesture was a joke. Others -thought
it meant the entire attendance for the
year, In both cases fans were wrong.
The team was sincere in its offer, and
they were going all out for a large
attendance •- they had hoped for the
1000 funs at the one game.
The advertisement did not produce
the 1000 -fan results, but it did bring
out the largest crowd up to that date,
in spite of the most inclement weather
conditions. The icy road' conditions
made travelling most hazardous, and
almost impossible on the back roads
and concessions.
Apparently fans who saw the game
Friday night liked what they saw, and
came back in ever larger numbers on
Monday night for the largest crowd of
the season. Auburn have supported
their team well all winter, and the fans
from that district, apparently sensing
victory within their grasp, were on
hand for the kill in goodly numbers
on Monday night.
Undoubtedly the present attendance
record will be broken in the group
finals between Auburn and the 13th,
The 13th, like Auburn, are noted for'
lending their full support to their
team. It should be a good series from
a financial standpoint.
It should also be an excellent ser-
ies hockeywise. Both teams have
some excellent talent on their line-ups.
The 13th have several veterans includ-
ing Jack Lee, for many years a star on
!the Londesboro B. -A. lite -up, Good
fast, clean, hard hockey should be a-
t vailable to followers of both teams,
and the Phdp.Madill Rural • League
trophy is the prize for the ultimate
winner,
Winners At Federation
Card Party
liullett Township Federation of Ag-
riculture Branch held a euchre and
dance on Friday night in the Ludes -
bow 11011 with n fair attendance. Prize
winners for cards were: lady hig't.
Mrs, Bert Shobbrook, low, Mrs, Bill
Holland; lone hands, Mrs, Bert Shob-
t brook; men's high, Harvey Taylor, low,
Carman Riley; lone hands, Ivan Iiog-
garl.
'1 Jim Scott's orchestra provided music
for the dance that followed,
Blyth Lions Midgets were eliminated
in two -straight games by the Zurich
Midgets since last week and have join-
ed the ranks of the forgotten for this
season,
Our midgets went down fighting
against a team that was not necessar-
ily superior in ability, but were super-
ior in man -power. Lack of time giv•
en to declare a group winner necessit-
ated the two teams playing on conse-
cutive nights, They played here on
Thursday night when Zurich won the
decision 4 to 2, Going back to Zurich
Friday night the Zurich team won a-
gain by a twoagoal margin, 3 to 1,
Zurich had previously eliminated
1iensall, and immediately after elim-
inating Blyth had to play a sudden -
death game with Lucan, with the win•
tier going almost immediately against
Mildmay in the play'downs,
In the face of the heavy playing
schedule our midgets may have been
the lucky ones, They gave an excel•
lent account of themselves, and those:
few who did support them were well
pleased with their efforts, particularly
in the series against Zurich in which
they had the majority of the territor-
ial play, but lacked the ability to put
the puck in the net, Bill Campbell
and Jim Howson, playing defense for
the locals were forced to play 60 min-
utes in both games, which is it titanie
chore for any player. In the game
here 13111 Campbell also scored both
Blyth goals, and was the best man on
the ice for either teams. At Zurich
Blyth was minus their regular goalie,
Dave Chalmers, but Bill Howson took
over and filled the vacancy extremely
well,
So our hats are off to the midgets,
to their manager and coach, Ray Mad-
ill, who sacrificed many evenings to
impart his hockey knowledge to the
boys and to the referees whu in most
instances, at least locally, did an ef-
ficient job of officiating at the games,
with we understand, very little in the
way of remneration, and to the team
sponsors the local Lions Club.

TOUGH ON TYPISTS
"How do you like your new
boss, my dear " asked Jill's
mother,
"Ah, he isn't so bad, Mummy;
rather bigoted, that's all."
"What do you mean, bigoted?"
"Well, he thinks words can be
spelled only one way,"
As any housewife knows, it's the final taste that counts with fish
chowder, whether it's made from clams or codfish. Here Collo-
dion National Railways Chef Instructor Joseph F. Nellis samples
a chowder that uses butter instead of pork and is a favourite
with travellers during Lent.
MATERNITY CAR A new ."dodge" was tried recently when a
mama rabbit gave birth to a Utter in a brand-new, pink -and -
gray Dodge. The back door of the car had been left open at
a car agency. So mamma rabbit moved in, Agency owner Alvin
Podway, above, has been feeding them and keeping the car
motor running each night to operate the heater and warm the
furry family. The little ones have been named after models of
the car.
Two Greatest Stars
--Cat and Mouse
The greatest stars in Holly-
wood today — by Oscar -reck-
oning — are two masters of
make-believe mayhem known
as Tom and Jerry.
Nobody knows how many
times this durable cat and ir-
repressible mouse have flatten-
ed each other by means of some
device that would dismember
anybody else.
And hardly anybody, even in
Hollywood, realizes that they
have won seven Oscars, This
makes them -supreme, not only
in the cartoon world, but in the
whole wide world of Hollywood
performers,
If stars are rated by the num-
ber of their Academy Awards,
Tom and Jerry have a right to
look down on Spencer Tracy
and Fredric March, Two Oscars
look petty sparse compared to
seven -- or even three and a
half.
As for all those statuettes in
Walt Disney's outer office, Hal
Elias, manager of M -G -M's short
subjects department, gently but
firmly explains that "no other
cartoon character has won more
than one award—not even Don-
ald,"
Meanwhile Tom and Jerry
just go on forever—propelling
each other from frying pans into
fires, out of windows, through
walls,
The terrible cat and the impu-
dent mouse nevertheless have
changed somewhat since they
won their first Oscar in 1943.
(That was for "Yankee Doodle
Mouse," in which a Fourth of
July theme was carried out by
having Jerry fly through the air
in an egg crate labeled "hen
grenades.") For one thing, they
have slimmed down a little.
That's to be exPected, consider-
ing what they go through.
They have also become more
cultured, which you wouldn't
expect at all, Tom, besides gra-
duating early to hind -leg loco -
is, has taken to speaking
lomb, the role of a concert pi-
anist, Jerry, bright boy that he
motion, has played, with ap-
French.
The inordinate and inexplic-
able enthusiasm which spread
through theater audiences in
response to this new wrinkle in
Jerry's vocabulary has meant
that "Two Mousekatcers" was
followed by "Touche Pussycat,"
"Tom and Cherie" (cartoonists
never could resist an irresistible
title), and, sooner or later, "Tou-
jours Pussycat." Public approv-
al is not the only reason, by the
way, for rushing out mousketeer
sequels. The six - year - old
mademoiselle from France who
actual', speaks Jerry's lines is
rapidly losing not only her
your but her accent.
Tom and Jerry, incidentally,
are developing a new and
friendly sense of family respon-
sibility, In "Busy Buddies" they
take care of a baby who has
been left to the tender mercies
of a telephone -happy teen-age
baby sitter; they rescue the tiny
explorer from many a perilous
adventure. "Spike and Tyke"
(bulldogs large and small) are
moving out of the series to start
one of their own.
There will be no riding to
glory on an Oscar this year. Mr.
Elias and his staff have sur-
prised everybody by choosing
for Academy exhibition an un-
usual "message cartoon." Pro•

Clarence House,
Simulataneously Los Angeles
police are searching for a per-
sonable young Britisher who
discreetly hinted of his friend-
ship with Princess Margaret and
the Duchess of Kent. His cre-
dentials were so impressive that
he was treated as a V.I.P. and
shown round the, movie studios.
He was given complimentary
seats at important film pre-
mieres and went to free studio
lunches with the 'stars. Gently
he confided that Treasury fin-
ancial regulations placed him in
dollar difficulties. "I have the
run of Buckingham Palace, yet
I can't afford a taxi," he wise-
cracked before he cadged' ten
dollars,
When his hotel bill became
too formidable he skipped out
of town.
These are just two of the ,
pests who prey on royalty —
crooks and cranks only too well
•known to Superintendent Per- •
kins, the Queen's "shadow," and
other security detectives,
Fortunately, most of these
nuisances are harmless, but they
can cause a great deal of trou-
ble, A prominent Washington
hostess gossiped to her friends
of her "secret arrangements" to
entertain the Queen and the
Duke, of Edinburgh,
The whole scheme existed
only in her imagination, but
rumours spread so swiftly that
before long the White House
had to issue an official state-
ment, denying that the Queen
and the Duke were planning to
visit the States.
1 Not long ao, the Queen Moth-
er's secretary nearly fell into a
trap when he entered into nego-
tiations via Pembroke College,
for Her Majesty's attendance at
the tricentenary of Selhurst
School.
Luckily, he took the precau-
tion of, checking the history of
the school through another
source, despite the impressive
printed note -paper used by the
headmaster.
Then the truth came to light,
No such school existed. The
whole thing was an elaborate
hoax, concocted by two Pem-
broke students!
Something similar happened
when the cruiser Australia was
in the South Pacific several
years ago with the Duke of
Gloucester aboard. The world
heard with a thrill that in those
same waters the schooner Seth
Parker had sent out a radio call
for help,
The Duke's ship promptly
rushed to her aid and stood by
for days, taking off nine of her
crew, But the Seth Parker did
not sink. She had been charter-
ed by ' a prominent American
radio entertainer—and gradual-
ly it became evident that . the
whole adventure had been cook-
ed up as a publicity stunt,
In Hyde Park the Queen re-
viewed a parade of ex -service -
Eventually he came under po-
lice questioning, He had never
served in a campaign and had
no right to wear any of the me-
dals. In fact, he had bought
most of them from pawnshops!
It often takes sharp eyes to
save the Queen from embarrass-
ment, During a royal visit to
Nottingham an ' elderly, *omen
planned to halt the Queen's car'
and make a protest. to her about
vivisection,
Fortunately, a plain -clothes
police -sergeant, gifted with -'a• ,
long memory, spotted her push-
ing through the waiting crowds.
Instantly he remembered that
when the Queen visited Not-
tingham as Princess Elizabeth,
the same woman had attempted
to stop her and engage her in,
conversation,
Gently he got into conversa-
tion with the woman and offer-
ed to find her a better vantage
point. He engaged her confi-
dence until she told him of her
plan to stop the royal car. Then
he persuasively encouraged her
to talk of her beliefs , , , and
she was so engrossed in her
story that the royal procession
passed unmolested,
Every year, too, a car sweeps
up the drive towards Balmoral
Castle and the occupant, a mid-
dle-aged man, tells the police-
man on duty that he is Lord So-
and-so and is expected for
llunch, He usually gets past the
Dee bridge patrol; but all vis-
itors are carefully checked in
and out of the castle and he is
invariably turned back at the
lodge.
Another type of trouble -mak-
er is the hoaxer who agony=
mously 'phones the police be-
fore a royal visit to tell of hid-
den bombs. Needless to say,
every warning has 10 be fully
investigated,
The disruption that can be
caused was evidenced just be-
fore the Queen left on her Aus-
tralian tour. Owing to a bogus
warning the aircraft had to be
completely stripped and every
item checked and double-check-
ed before being put aboard.
The cases of food and medi-
cine were carefully probed .. ,
until the only remaining suspi-
cious item was a mysterious
brown paper parcel measuring
six inches by three, addressed
to a lady-in-waiting "To be de-
, livered on board," The con-
tents seemed even more sinister
when the Customs "X-ray"
showed that the parcel conceal-
ed a metal canister, It proved
to be a tin of talcum powder,
a parting gift from a friend!

There are two simple and im-
portant rules for effective use
of metalworking (and wood-
working) hand tools. First, use
a tool only for the purpose for
which it is designed. Second,
make sure that it is in good con-
dition before using it. Simple
as these are, they are often
overlooked, with resulting dam-
age to work or personal injury,
Other good practices and pre-

loose.
Do not strike a file against
anything to knock off the filings.

Do not strike a hardened
bushing, pin or similar object
with a ordinary hammer, Use a
soft hammer, or place a piece
of soft metal over the hardened
surface before striking it.
When' using a screw driver,
do not place your hand where it
will be gouged if the tool slips.

When using a hack saw,
tighten the blade rigidly, so that
it will not buckle and break,
and saw away from yourself
with long straight strokes, using
practically the entire length of
the blade, To avoid dulling the
teeth, ease pressure on the back-

Avoid the use of chisels with
mushroomed heads, In striking
them, pieces of steel are apt to

Hanged By Fate
It is commonplace to speak of
the irony of fate, but what bet-
ter examples are there than
the strange and bitter quirks of
fortune which have brought re-
tribution to criminals?
A man was convicted of mur-
der, but well-meaning people
were convinced of his innocence.
They launched a fierce cam-
paign in his favour but, un-
aware of this, the condemned
man asked for writing materials.
Meanwhile, the Home Secretary,
impressed by the representa-
tions, called a moeting of legal
officials, The condemned man
might have been reprieved had
not the meeting been inter~upt-
ed by the arrival of his con-
fession !
Peter Kurlen, the "Monster of
Dusseldorf" who was executed
in 1929, had at least nine mur-
ders and seven attempted mur-
ders against him. Only one thing
lay to his credit : he had spared
a girl who had begged for
mercy, And this girl was the
only one of his victims who was
able to point him out to the
police.
It was ironical that Patrick
Mahon, who killed a woman and
dismembered her body at a cot-
tage at' Pevensey Down in 1924,
should have been brought to
justice by his wife who loved
him. She became worried at his
habit of staying out late, and
rummaging through his pockets,
found a railway cloakroom de-
posit ticket.
She handed it to a friend con-
nected with the railway police
and he found that it referred to
a bag deposited by Mahon, which
contaired bloodstained imple-
ments.

World's Deepest
Hole -Man -Made
Thirty-five miles southeast of
New Orleans in the Mississippi
Delta marshes is the world's
deepest hole - a record 22,559
feet.
The hole has been drilled by
Richardson and Bass of Fort
Worth, Texas, Whether it pro-
duces oil or not, it will have
cost more than $2,000,000.
The Richardson -Bass outfit
consists of two barges sunk in-
to nine feet of water at the end
of a channel dredged out of the
Louisiana marshes, The actual
drilling barge is 140 -feet long,
54 -feet wide and 12 -feet high,
On top of the barge is a 136 -
foot derrick.
Beside the drilling barge, and
connected by a walkway, is the

barge are five 150 -horsepower
boilers which provide the steam

Ostrich Farming In Africa
The ostrich is pretty general-

do it for him.,
It seems that the ostrich is a
much -maligned creature. You
ought to know, therefore, that
the ostrich does NOT bury his
head.
The explosion of this popular
niyth will likely cause some re-
gret among politicians, journal.
ists, and others who cannot
seem to get along without a
sprinkling of adjectival "os-
trich like's," But then it seems
only fair to the ostrich that you
should know he doesn't have a
personal and private formula for
getting away from it all. He
faces right tip to things like
anybody else.

mundanely, to make faather
dusters.
At Highgate Farm, three gen-
erations- of 1loopers, who first
emigrated from Highgate, Lon-
don, have been farming ostrich-
es for more than a hundred
years. And they've never seen
one bury its head yet.
Our emphatic guide, ,John,
Harris, told us all about it:
'There's a very good reason
why the ostrich cannot possibly
bury his head," said he, warm.
ing to his subject, "if he did, he
would not be able to breathe.
"The whole thing is this. As
, far back as 1823, we have a re-
cord of ostrich feathers being
sold at 6d a feather in Cape
Town. This means that more
than a hundred years back they
started capitalizing on the os-
trich. Hunters went out either
to catch grown ostriches or to
steal their eggs.
"Soon the ostrich was on the
defensive. Perhaps he already
knew how to do it, or perhaps
he learned then. But lie started
take cover. And he did not do
it by burying his head, All he
did was to squat on the ground
and stretch his neck out flat so
as not to be seen, When he got
.up, of course, the length of his
neck in front was covered with
sand -hence the theory that he
buries himself."
Whether he buries his head
or not, the ostrich is still an un-
orthodox enough creature to
get himself considerably talked
about.
He lives on lucerne ("lucerne
to South Africans, clover to Bri-
tons, and alfalfa to Canadians,"
says Mr. Harris, " it's all the
same") and helps grind it up
with marble -sized stones which
he swallows. Being a desert
bird, besides top and bottom
eye -lids he has a third, side-
ways, blinker to shut out sand-
storms, and goes waterless. for
months, writes John Huglu s in
the Christian Science Monitor.
At 260 lbs., male ostriches: are
black and sit on the eggs .,by
night. Females weigh 50' lbs,
.less and use their gray feathers
for camouflage over the eggs by
day. Males have a squawk - fe-
males are completely voiceless,
Both grow up to seven or
eight feet in height, can jump
up to 10 feet, but never leap
the five-foot wire with which
they are fenced.
Why do they farm ostriches at
Ouclshoorn? Because of the low
humidity with the eight to ten
inches a year rainfall - very
suitable for ostriches.
Ostrich -farming really came
into its own just before World
War 1, during a boom when
every fashionable lady had an
ostrich -feather fan, boa, or hat.
But the boom was short dura-
tion. Ever since, the Oudshoorn
fanners have been hoping, for
a new one. Queen Elizabeth II
gave trade a fillip- by wearing
an ostrich -feather cape with
which she was presented during
a visit to South Africa, and also
ostrich feathers in her hats.
And prices have been climb-
ing to the current 64s. a Ib.
which farmers get for feathers
at the local auctions. Besides
the feathers, the ostrich pro-
duces "biltong," a traditional
form of South African dried
meat, and its skin is used for
expensive leatherware like
handbags, wallets, and note-
books.
So there is the story of os-
trich, There surely will be
somebody who has seen him
bury his head. But then we said
at the beginning we were stick-
ing our neck out. .
Perhaps to avoid a controver-
sy we would have done better
to go and bury our head in the
sand like the -

work has been going on for
almost a year.
Incidentally,, the command
post for this:-l'itUge: operation is
not on the drill ' site but some
500 miles away ' In the • sky-
scraper office of J. E. (Ed) Hill,
manager of operations for
Richardson and Bass,
Here by means of telephone,
Mr. Hill keeps a constant check
on what he calls rig No. 25.
His desk is piled with reports,
electric log graphs, geologic
surveys, and special maps.
" The biggest problem in
drilling to depths greater than
20,000 feet," Mr, Hill said, "is
in maintaining the proper cas-
ing program that will give you
a big enough hole size at the
bottom,
"If you start out too small
at the top, you'll end up at he
bottom with drill pipe the size
of spaghetti. We have been ex-
tremely fortunate," Mr. Hill
continued, "in that we have
yet to have a single drill pipe
failure.
"Pipe failures mean fishing
jobs - that is, probing by re-
mote control to bring up the
broken end, With drilling costs
of almost $5,000 a day - we
couldn't afford to stop many
times for this sort of thing."
Mr, Hill then went on to ex-
plain some of the unbelievable
strains placed on drill pipe at
such tremendous depths. For
example, a string of drill pipe
at such a depth will stretch
about 20 feet. "I know it may
sound fantastic," Mr, Hill said,
"but much of the drill pipe was
not new but had been previous-
ly used on other drilling pro-
jects,"
Among the hazards of deep
drilling is the exceptionally
high temperature encountered
at great depths. The overburd-
en pressure -that is, the weight
of the earth -at this record
depth is approximately 20,500
pounds per square inch, In fact,
temperatures as high s 350 de-
grees Fahrenheit have been re-
corded.
It is Mr, Hill's calculated
guess that if trouble develops
it may be in the rig's mud sys-
tem, because of the tempera-
ture.
According to Mr. Hill the
drilling mud is pumped down
inside the drill pipe, emerges
through the drill bit, and re-
turns to the surface by climb-
ing up the outside of the drill
pipe. The mud not only cools
the hole, but also brings up drill
bit cuttings. The mud weight is
now over 18 pounds per gallon.
It has to be thickened constant-
ly to maintain a hydrostatic
head to counteract the forma-
tion pressure,
"We think we can operate at
a bottom hole temperature of
up to 370 degrees with our pre-
sent mud system," Mr. Hill de-
clared, "If it gets much hotter
than that'we will end up mak-
ing bricks out of the mud at
the bottom of the hole."
Nearly $2,000,000 has already
been spent to drill to the record
depth, $446,000 of which went
for mud,
GOSSIP
Here's news for wives who
like to gossip over the garden
fence. Gossip is one of the heal-
thiest of all pastimes, say lung
specialists.
At a recent conference in
France, one pointed out that
many human ills result from
weakness or deterioration of the
lungs. Intensive talking, he de-
clared, strengthens these deli-
cate organs.
"Women love gossiping mole
than men," he went on. "It is
fairly certain that talking makes
women live longer."

19 :42.
Joy and sorrow are seldom
far apart. The crowd of disciples
,gathered into the city for the
annual feast rejoiced as Jesus
rode into the city seated on a
colt, the foal of an ass. The
haughty Pharisees were dis-
pleased.
As the procession rounded a
turn from which Jesus looked
down upon the city he stopped.
He wept. He saw into the future.
In a few days the people of this
favored city would reject Elim
and crucify Him. Spurred by
their religious leaders they
would cry out, "His blood be on
us and on our children." In an-
other forty years it would come
to pass even as they invited.
The beautiful city would be laid
waste under the heel of the Ro-
man conquerer. Many, many
people would be slain.
How would Jesus be received
in the big city of today? There
are many to give him an en-
thusiastic welcome. There are
a few cynics who openly mock
at religion. Perhaps the majority
could be described as indifferent.
G. A, Studdert-Kennedy has de-
scribed this attitude in a poem
entitled, "Indifference." He first
describes the crucifixion scene
at Calvary. Then he says
When Jesus come to Birmingham

How shall we escape, if we
neglect so great salvation?

In this arca to attend a Liberal or-
ganization meeting in Zurich, Mr. Mar-
tin visited hospitals in Exeter and Clin-
ton Lind while inspecting the new nur-
ses' residence in Clinton, Mr, Martin
predicted "substantial control of tub-
erculosis, perhaps within a decade," He
said that if the tempo of TB control
continues, this disease which 25 years
ago was considered to be the foremost,
would be well on the way to being
controlled.
"Huron County," said Mr. Martin
has gone over the top in other matters,
and will Ono doubt go over the top in
this TB chest x-ray survey, as well."
He remarked that great strides it
medicine in Canada have been made
through the co-operation of the various
levels of government and other organ-
izations which do so much,
Speaking in general of hospitals in
this area, Mr. Martin compared them
to those he has seen in other parts of
Canada, and said that this part of
Western Ontario has very fine hospi-
tals. "Though you will always have
pressing and new problems even here,'
saki Mr. Martin, "there are not many
areas in Canada as well served by
hospitals, doctors and nurses,"

YEARS OF PROGRESS11
it
What memories are stimulated in
grandfather's mind with thoughts
of his own boyhood? His was an
age of manpower, steam and clock-
work. In the half century separ-
ating his boyhood from that of his
grandson, electricity has literally
"taken over", to become the life-
blood in the pulse of progress. -
In that relatively' short span of
years, Ontario Hydro has grown
from a conception in men's minds
to one of the largest organizations
of its kind in the world. Today,
Hydro owns and operates 64 hydro-
electric and 2 large fuel-electrio
generating stations, and is presently
co-operating in the development of
Canada's first nuclear -electric gen-
erating station, to provide power
from the atom.
Who can say how much power
will be required 50 years from to-
day? New applications are found
daily for this most versatile of all
commodities, No matter where you
look electricity is at work in the
never-ending search for better liv-
ing, opening new horizons that
mean a brighter future for all.

Worst Weather Of Winter

This district experienced it's worst
storm of the winter over the week -end.
The bad weather set in on Friday

proved only to be the fore -runner of
worse things to come on Saturday.
On Saturday morning it was ,(tante

had dropped enough that snow was fal-

THE MYTH STANDARD •WelltieNday, M, 29,1968• '
Clure, Winthrop, Roger McClure, Rus -
Farmer's Union Meeting At Walton. sell, Man., Robert and James, RR. 4,
Walton, McKillop township,
Hears Western Canada Speaker Mr, McClure has farmed all his life
at lot 34, con, 11, McKillop, until re-
tiring to Winthrop 26 years ago. His
wife, the former Agnes Smith, died
live years ago, His longevity he attrl-
butt:s to plenty of hard work and a
friemdly interest in his fellow man. He
keeps well versed in neighborhood nc-
tivitie.t in spite of his advanced years.
Over 150 young farmers gathered in
Walton hall, Wednesday evening, Feb,
22, despite stormy weather and drifted
roads, to hear an address on farm prob-
lems, by Mr. Joe Phelps, farmer, of
,,,Vilkic, Sask., who was past president of
the Saskatchewan Farmer's Union, and
a very forceful speaker. Among those
present were interested fanners front
last Wawanosh, Stanley, McKillop,
T'tckersmith and Goderich Townships,
,Atwood, Clinton, Varha, Tuvistock, and
Well ngton County.
Mr, Phelps saidc "I ant no stranger
to Ontario, having been born here, but
went West some 40 years ago,. If any-
one hair any idea of making an easy
living, don't go West, for if you want
to make a living in that country you'll
hE.ve to work for it. We hear on the
prairies that farmers down east are
rclling in wealth but 1 have found the
farmer's situation Is fundamentnlly the
same in the East as well as in the
West. We have a great deal in common
because we are customers of each oth-
t'1'
P lr. Phelps was returning West from a
icnference with Provincial Ministers of
. u;riculture at Ottawa, and stated fur -
t h nr: "I think the time has come when
g:,rmers should work closer with or-
united labor. I'm not going to ex-
t .se labor Jor some of the things they
bit' every one makes mistakes, even
, .rni. rs. You often hear it said by far
mers: 'We won't have anything to do
with organized labor,' but you might
as well say you won't have any 'truck
or trade' with cars and airplanes, or
any other modern convenience. It is a
silly attitude to take because organized,
labor is our best customer—they buy
our ham and eggs and they must have
money to buy it, and a lot in the ranks
of organized labor are farmers' sons
and daughters for a lot of fanners have
either been shoved off the farms or be-
come discouraged and quit. The basic
t'ablems of each group are the same,"
"Canadian farmers are a laison in
preparing a program of joint action.
(tale people in organized labor have
in idea that the farmer 'lives the life
of Riley' but at the executive level
t icy have had their eyes opened and
re worried because the farmer is lab -
customer for most of their pro -
^t _ls."
The speaker went on: "I didn't come
here to preach blue ruin, but we must
search diligently for a way to pull our-
selves out of our difficulties. Never
say, 'l'tn just a farmer." Don't be ap-
ologetic. You can't build a democracy
on that attitude. As producers we
haven't taker care of the business end
of ot':' business. We want a National
arm Organization across Canada. If
organized labor have all modern con-
veniences, television set and new cars,
then why consider it a luxury if farm-
ers have the same. Some people, think
farmers should do as grandfather did,
but we are not living in grandfather's
day, This is 1956, and the machinery
is here and we are going to use it, A
lot of farmers have a partner, but it is
the mortgage company, but a lot of
mortgage companies won't risk their
money on agriculture on the prairie
any more."
Mr, Phelp stated emphatically; "It's
time to do some stock -taking to see if
we have more money invested in ma-
chinery and equipment than we have
in the farm. A lot of people are living
on depreciation and think they have a
lot of money, but today our power costs
n: a tremendous amount of money, so
that's the main difference between
Low end grandad's day. The imple-
i ant companies and uil companies
have a greater interest in our farms
today than we think, so take stock."
"I have no criticism for the Federa-
tion of Agriculture and I'm all for
Commercial Co -Ops doing the good lob
they are set up to do, but we should
build, up our Farm Unions and keep.
it operating in a democratic way. At
tint conference at Ottawa, the appy
7cowers in Nova Scotia, the potato
,7rnwers in New Brunswick, the mixed
:farmers in Quebec and the grain grow-
ers in the West, all reported to be in
difficulty."
Mr. Phelps stated: "Mr. Gardiner's
advice to the western farmers was to
produce more pigs and cattle, to feed
their grain to and market them, and
the western farmers intend to take Mr.
Gardiner's advice, How will that af-
fect the Ontario farmer?"
"We believe we should have parity
pr'ces for our commodities. The ave-
rage farmer is not unreasonable. They
are a fair-minded people as a whole.
The principle of the Hog Marketing
hoard is good. Get behind it."
"Tho government today is ready and
•rillIng to talk things over with farm
delegations and I believe some major
changes will be made in the policy for
Agriculture. Farm Union is making
progress. Our job is to make this old
arcrld a better place to live in and the
Industry of Agriculture a better in-
dustry. We are here for a purpose,
the time has come when we have to
take another look at the fundamentals
of right living, justice and equality,
and forget petty differences."
In the question and answer period
which followed the address, the sum-
mery of some of the questions was;
It was agreed the Hog Marketing
Board was a good thing, but dissatis-
faction was expressed with the per-
sonnel and set up of the Board.
One question asked was; "Would par-
ity prices be an incentive to over -pro-
duce?" To which Mr. Phelps replied;
"Then look for new markets or have
a production quota," "True togs were
imported In 1054, but co-operation is u
two-way street, and we must remember,
we shipped hogs and cattle to the U.S,
when they thought they had enough,
and they didn't holler. That does not
present an insurmountable problem.
If the farmer is to have parity prices
on ALL products, how can they flood
the market with any one thing,"

Insemination Group Reports
Active Year
The annual members' meeting of the
Waterloo Cattle Breeding Association
was held early in January in the
Y.11I,C.A., Kitchener, with about 125
:members present, . in addition, there
I were several visitors from other Un-
its including Dr. J, M. McLean of Belle-
ville, Manager of the Quante District
Cattle Breeding Association and Presi-
dent of the Ontario Association of Ar-
tificial Breeders who spoke briefly a-
bout artificial breeding in general and
especially mentioned the high proving
score our bulls had made on both type
rind production, Actually, the most im-
portant thing in the operation of an
artificial breeding Unit is having the
dight kind of cattle result from the ser-
vices rendered.
It was reported that the increase in.
volume of business over the previous
year had made a small operating sur-
plus of $5,409.68 possible, This was
;out of a gross income of $253,743.00,
actually a very small percentage, or, it
stated another way, it amounted to on-
ly 11.8 cents per cow bred,
For the fiscal yca'r ending November
30, 1955, 46,577 first services had been
performed -7,700 more cows than the
previous year for an increase of 20.1%.
This number was broken down by
breeds as follows; Holstein, 20,054 cows,
Jersey, 1,601 cows, Ayreshlre, 1,008
cows, Guernsey, 604; Dual Purpose
Shorthorn, 1,564, Beef Shorthorn, 8,951,
Ilereford, 10,306, Angus, 2,339.
You may notice thnt in some news
items we arc quoting that we bred ov-
er 47,000 cows during 1055 which is the
case for the calendar year.
The only change made by the mem-
bers in the board of directors person-
nell was the retirement of Henry B,
Bowman who did not stand for re-el-
ection because he had retired from
farming. Mr, Bowman was replaced by
W. J. Knapp, R.R. 2, Galt, All of the
directors are listed so that all of the
membership may kgow who the mem-
bership has charged with the respon-
sibility of the Unit's operations;

Last year a strenuous effort for new
business was made through ndvertis-
Ing. The result was the largest per-
centage of increase of any of the Units
in the Province and 1299 new mem-
bers. During the fiscal year, our in-
crease' of 7,790 cows, was more titan
our entire operation of 7,031 cows bred
during 1950. This year n similar a-
mount of advertising will be done plus
TV every Monday night for five weeks
commencing Feb. 6:h at 8;40 p.m., on
CKCO-TV, Kitchener,
It is interesting to note that during
1950 the Waterloo Association stood
either 6th or 7th for volume of bust-
r.ess by any breeding Unit in Ontario
and in 1955 our volume was 3rd, Nvith
the Oxford Unit first, Maple 2nd,tand
Waterloo 3rd, with a difference of less
thnn 1,000 cows between Waterloo and
Maple,
While still maintaining Sunday ser-
vice where necessary, the Association
urges co-operation for the benefit of
their inseminators by eliminating os
many Sunday calls as possible.
In presenting their report to the
members tho Association goes on to
outline facilities available "for various
breeds of cattle, Red Poll bulls have
been added to the list, A new bull
book will be published some time dur-

Beautiful models all with bold new Motoramic Styling.
More models—including two new 4 -door hardtops and two new
9 -passenger Station Wagons. And all models offer a choice of 9
flashing power teams with horsepowers ranging up to 205.
This is the greatest of them all. _
There's flashing new ex-
citement awaiting you,
for these '56 Chevrolets
give new meaning to the
word "action".
Look them over 1 Look
at that bigger more massive grille. Let your
eye slide along that longer, more rakish
hood. Follow that lower, speedline chrome
treatment back to these sassy, high -set tail-
lights (the one on the left swings down to
uncover the gas cap).
EVEN LIVELIER THAN IT LOOKS!
Bold new Moteramic Styling, as you see 1
Fine new Contemporary Interiors, to be
sure ! Gay new colors, indeed ! But beyond
that, even more of the championship road -
action that made the '55 Chevrolet a
winner. You know the new Pike's Peak
record -holder has to have something very,
very special in the way of power, ease and
sureness of control, and nailed -to -the -road
stability.

choice of new "Blue -Flame" 6 with 140 hp
and new higher compression — the 170 hp
"Turbo -Fire V8" (162 with Synchro-Mesh)
— or, optional at extra cost, the "Super
Turbo -Fire" with 205 hp and 9.25 to 1
compression ratio ! Automatic and comfort
features? If Chevrolet doesn't offer them,
it's only because they haven't been in-
vented yet. So try the hottest drive of the
year soon. You haven't tried anything new
until you've been behind the wheel of n
'56 Chevrolet.

Not only cloes•Cltevrolet offer --
a choice of VA or 6 cylinder
engines, but they are the most
powerful end most efficient
engines in the low priced field,
No other car combines such
high compression ratios with
volve-in-head operation, and
includes so many other modern
engineering discoveries. If a
power feature is good, if if,
practical, you can be sure that
Chevrolet engines have it I

IN MEMORIAM
CRAWFORD--In loving memory of u
dear husband, Jim Crawford, who
passed away three years ago, March
1st, 1053.
It I had all the world to give,
I'd give it, yes, and more,
To hear his voice, and see his smile
And greet him at my door.
But all I can do dear husband,
Is go and tend your grave,
And leave behind tokens of love
To the best husband God ever made.
I like to think when life is done
Wherever Heaven may be, •
That he'll be standing at the door
Up there to welcome me,
—Lonely, and sadly missed by wife,
Lena. 13-1p.

"Dear '.one Hirst: How I wish
my daughter had heeded your
warnings to young girls about
going .with just one boy! Her
first love affair has ended, and
she is heartbroken. A week ago
the boy told her he thought they
were too young to go steady;
they're 16. His mother says he
loves my girl, but he doesn't
know what he wants for the
future. Lately he's been going
with a fast crowd and he has
changed a lot.
"More than once I pleaded
with her to date other boys, too;
she had plenty of chances, but
she thought the idea was silly:
she was so happy with him she
couldn't bear to waste an even•
ing, as she called it.... I have
reminded her now there is plen-
ty of time to meet someone else,
but she says she can't get him
off her mind. How ! wish I
could comfort her!
"As you often predict, she
lost cc ,tact with other friends
while she was dating him. Now
she seem lost. Can you advise
me?
FIRST LOVE PANGS
' How cruel are the pangs of
' first love! They strik' deep

who is not schooled to disap-

ter to hug grief to her young
' bosom and drown in self-pity.
' Of course you will not en-

' because she cannot forget the
' boy; it would be strange if
she did. Time, and cultivating

TRT"th IS BEST
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am in my
teens and I want your help. A
nice boy has asked the several
times for dates and I've always
refused. I first told him 1 had
another engagement; then he
asked for my phone number and
I said I w.is never home. Fin-
ally he got tired of it, and now I
don't see him any more.
"I couldn't date him, Anne
Hirst, because my parents don't
allow me to go out with boys.
How can I persuade them to let
boys call me up and take me
out? Your answers to other
girls have helped me more than
once - but how about this one?
TEEN -A GER"
1 know how embarrassing it
is to admit your parents forbid
• your dating, but it only shows
* they are more careful than
* some others. It is nothing to
• be as:.amed of.
• Why didn't you tell the boy
the truth -and add, "ask me
• next term, maybe I can then?"
Since you fibbed about it, he
• probably thinks you see other
* lads and just don't care about
* going with him; when the
* time comes for you to date
* boys, that idea will nuke it
* harder to arouse his interest
' again.
* Most parents who recuse to
• let their daughters go out with
* boys have no objection to the
* girls' entertaining both boys
* and girls in their homes and
• going out in groups toe.ether.
* Perhaps your mother and
* father will tet you invite your
* friends in, unless they con-
* sider you too young even for
* that. Your signature is a bit
* confusing; after all, a girl 13
* is a teen-ager and so is a 19-
* year-old.
If your young daughter is'dat-
ing only one boy, explain how
uneconomic the habit is. En-
courage other young men you
know, so she will have a choice
and not he suddenly be left
dateless. Anne Hirst's wisdom
and safe guidance await you;

5'ANFISHER
The Piranha is a man-eating
fish native to the Amazon River.
If "fisherman" is the term used
for a man who caches fish, then
perhaps "manfiisher" would be
the appropriate term:; used for
a fish whr, eats man! The Pir-
anha travels in schools which
rend and devour any wounded
man or beast in a few minutes.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT - You're looking at three pretty girls -the
photographer says. He took this picture in Skene, a province in
southern Sweden. Weather there is usually pretty mild, but n
cold snap brought protective headgear like this into vogue.
NOSEY - Put tha' kilt doon, lassie. Ye dinna need t' take tha'
sign so literally. Four-year-old Jill Smith bows to curiosity to
find out what the Scottish -clad mannequin is wearing under its
kilt. The sign at its feet asks the question of visitors to the open-
ing ceremonies of Thomaston's new mill, which makes under-
wear.

This feels like the morning
after -as it definitely is! The
morning following a visit from
Dee, Arthur, Dave and Honey.
David I might add, has fully re-
covered from all his troubles
and is now very much a live
wire. That is why today feeis
like the morning after. Of
course he has become badly
spoilt, especially in regard to
meals, so 1 imagine his mother
is going to have quite a time
getting everything back to nor-
mal - partly because she seems
very run-down herself and
hardly able to cope with David's
exuberant spirits. What a tre-
mendous power of come -back
children apparently possess. To
look at Dave now it seems im-
possible that a little while ago
he was so sick.
Yesterday wi,s such a lovely
day we were thinking they
would be here, but as the after-
noon wore on we began to give
up hope. Then they arrived and
the reason for the delay was
an accident on the Queen Eliza-
beth Way that held up traffic
for over an how'. However, they
finally got here - and pre-
sumably they got back again
safe and sound. Knowing what
the traffic is like takes awoy
half the pleasure of having one's
family come to visit. Yes, pa-
rents get plenty of headaches
these days when their children
are travelling the highways.
And then the children arrive
and say in surprise - "What on
earth were you worrying about?
Wo were all right!"
Well, in view of the current
talk on a national health plan
we asked I)ee and Art what
Dave's illness had cost them.
The answer .•. . 5750 for hos-
pitilization, plus special nurses,
surgical and medical care. There .
were also incidental exnenses
which hroueht the total cost
close to $1,1)00, partly coverr'rl by
insurance. 'There you have a
pretty fair sample of what it
means to bring an ordinary child
bark to normal health.
Compare' that with the ever-
present financial burden Which
many parents must carry who
have a retarded or permanent-
ly afflicted child in the family,
I ask you - do we need a Na-
tional Health Plan in Canada?
'1'o get on to a lighter topic.
We are still enjoying our tele-
vision but we have reached the
point of weighing its advan-
tages and disadvantages. Watch-
ing and listening to a good
story is quite a pleasure - up
to a point - the point of iso re-
turn. If there comes an inter-
ruption before the story is over
-well, that's that. You, can't
turn off the set and then go
hack again to get the finish of
the story. Of course everyone
knows that - but knowing and
realising are t w o different
things. So for real story enjoy-
ment I would say stick to a book
or magazine, You can always
go hack to the printed word and
find the story exactly where you
left it - unless, in the case of
a weekly newspaper, someone
takes the magazine section to
light the kitchen fire. Maybe
that is no reason why publishers
are not too concerned about the
effect of television on the read-
ing public. 1 think what 1 enjoy
most is the telecast of a well-
known story. "Robinhood", for
instance. The scenery, character-
ization and the stage 'props' are
just about perfect. No doubt it
was produced primarily for
juvenile entertainment but it
takes an adult to appreciate
such an artistic and authentic
production.
Well, the weather has been
making the news again. I can't
imagine what England is like in
such exteremeiy cold weather.
I heard one announcer say it is
the coldest winter since 1892,
That is a little before my time
but 1 heard my mother speak
of that year quite often. It was
the year when the River Stour
in Suffolk froze solid for six
weeks and my father used to
skate along the river to a near-
by village, a distance of over
three miles. Here, at home, we
have a little of everything. One
day, after a six-inch snowfall,
the snow in the lane was soft
and skiddish. I got stuck at the
top of our lane because the
back wheels wouldn't follow
the front wheels which resulted
in the car doing a sort of crab -
walk. The next day, at the
bottom of the lane, I waited for
traffic to pass before driving on
to the highway. That did it,
When I tried Pa start up again
the wheels spun and I was down
to ice. Partner had to come to
the rescue with ashes. Oh, for
a car with snow -tires) But alas,
snow -tires are what you can't
get for an English car, However,
I felt a little better when I saw
a tow -truck coming along with
a big, newish -looking car trail-
ing behind.
Another thing happened last
week which must have come as
quite a shock to many readers
of the Family Herald - the

A CANADIAN BOOK
TO OWN AND TREASURE
SIX YEARS OF WAR; the of-
ficial history of the Canadian
Army in the Second World War.
' by Col, C. P. Stacey; ' Director
Historical Section, General
Staff,
fills is the first volume of the
Official History of the Canadian
Army in the Second World War.
It deals with events in Canada,
with the experience of the Army,
iii Britain (including the raiding
operations conducted from the
' British base), and with the war
against Japan. The operations of
Dieppe and Hong Kong are
described more fully than in any
previous account.
This volume is based upon
more thorough research than
was possible in the case of
Colonel Stacey's earlier "Offi-
cial Historical Summary", The
Canadian Army 1939-40, which
won a Governor -General's award
In 1948, It is the product of ex-
haustive investigation in Cana-
dian, Allied and enemy records,
Born in Toronto, Colonel C.
P. Stacey is a graduate of the
University of Toronto, and later
studied at Oxford and Princeton.
Before the Second World War
he was a member of the History
• Department of Princeton Uni-
versity. He is the author of
"Canada and the British Army,
1846-1871" (1936) and "The Mili-
tary Problems of Canada"
(1940), and has written numer-
ous articles and pamphlets on his-
torlcal and military subjects, He
has also done historical broad-
casting. In 1948 he published
"The Canadian Army, 1939-45:
An Official Historical Summary".
This book received the Gover-
nor -General's Award for Acade-
mic Non -Fiction for that year.
In 1951 he was elected, a Fellow
of the Royal Society of Canada
and is now its Honorary Corres-
ponding Secretary, He was Presi-
dent of the Canadian Historical
Association, 1952-53,
In 1940 he returned from the
U.S. to join the Army and was
appointed Historical Officer at
Canadian Military Headquarters,
London. He supervised the his-
torical programme of the Cana-
dian Army Overseas during the
rest of the war, visiting the
Canadian fronts in Italy and
North-West Europe. He was ap-
pointed .Director of the Histori-
cal Section of the General Staff
In 1945.
The book is illustrated with
a Frontispiece in full colour, 38
'photographs in black and white,
14 maps of which 7 are in col-
our and — especially at the ex-
tremely moderate price of $3.50
— is one which should be in
every library, both institutional
and private.
Bloodhounds
On The Trail!
"Old Boston," leader of a paek
of Oklahoma bloodhounds. had
tracked down more than a hun-
dred criminals, Now, in his old
age, he found it hard to keep
patient, especially with young
policemen,
If his handler could not keep
pace while out on the trail, he
would turn on him, almost
testily, Once the old dog broke
away on a hot scent, his hand-
lers lost him and he was gone
all night. He limped home early
the next morning, thoroughly
disgusted. He had tracked his
quarry all right, and had chased
him till the man took refuge
in a tree,
All night long they stayed
there, and every so often "Old
Boston" looked round and
growled disgustedly because no
policemen came, At length,
when daylight came and nobody
had arrived to finish the job,
"Oid Boston" got fed up and
went home.
The bloodhound has been
bred in England since before
the Norman Conquest. With his
heavy, shoulders, deeply fur-
rowed mask and bloodshot eyes
he looks fierce and formidable,
but he is, in fact one of the
sweetest natured dogs. He was
given the name bloodhound, not
because he was out for blood,
but .because he was a blooded
hound, an animal of highly
selective breeding.
It has been suggested that' the
bloodhound would be more suit-
able for police work if he were
hardier. Experiments were
made to produce a cross be-
tween the bloodhound and the
rough -coated otterhoupd, When
the puppies had grown suffi-
ciently they were put on trial
with a good deal of success, and
it is hoped that a breed will be
evolved with all the stamina of
the otterhound, plus the won-
derful scenting powers of the
bloodhound.
Even when unable to lead di-
rectly to the criminal, the blood-
hound can sometimes indicate
a valuable clue. Some years ago,
a hound was brought to an
English country house where
there had been a burglary.
I -Ie ambled round the garden
and suddenly picked up a scent,
With tail wagging furiously, he
sniffed his way to a clump of
bushes and then, thoroughly
pleased with himself, looked up
at his handler. Under the bush
was an envelope which had
been through the post and
which led to the identification
of the burglar.
In another case, a well-known
bloodhound breeder helped the
Scottish police investigate the
murder of a small boy on the
east coast of Scotland.
The scent was "considerably
more than a day old but was
undsturbed because there had
been no wind to blow it away,
LUCKY _ Ten tons of coal caved In on William Walters, 57, but
he still manages a slight smile and a thumbs -up sign, The acci-
dent occurred in a coal hopper In Kingston, Ontario. Rope was
tied around Walters to keep him from slipping farther down into
rhe.coal pile. He was rescued after two hours.

SNAPPY REED HARVEST -- These men in Berlin, Germany, wel-
comed recent freezing weather. It froze all the surrounding
lakes, making reed harvesting a snap. The men didn't have to
worry about getting wet, as they could walk right up to the
reeds and cut them at ice level,
and because a heavy fog had
kept people at home.
The dogs set to work, picked
up a trail and even managed to
follow it along the main road
with its ' numerous strange
scents.
Eventually the trail came to
where the road forked. One fork
led to a town, the other con-
tinued towards the railway sta-
tion. Without hesitation the
hounds led on to the station.
Police sent a description to sta-
tions up and down the line and
the murderer was caught,
In Sussex, in 1934, two police-
men investigating a burglary
came upon a man on the out-
skirts of the town. ' He drew a
revolver and • fired, wounding
one of the officers, and then
made off,
Hundreds of police were call-
ed out to beat the commons
thick with gorse. By chance a
woman who bred bloodhounds
was staying in a Sussex hotel
and had two hounds with her.
In the middle of the night she
and the dogs were taken to the
scene of the burglary where a
hot trail led off into the coun-
tryside. All at once one of the
hounds stopped and plunged to-
wards some near -by trees, A
man who had been lying under
the trees leapt to his feet.
It has been known for a crim-
inal to be scared into submis-
sion by the very sight of a
bloodhound. In . 1936 a woman
was found dead in a boarding
house in the Catskill Mountains
in America.
It was thought at first that
she had died of shock and heart
failure. Further examination
showed, however, that she had
been beaten and throttled to
death, and suspicion fastened on
an Indian half-breed who had
taken to the woods. He was a
desperate man, known to be
armed, who had already done
one shooting,
The state troopers brought
"Old Red" their bloodhound,
and began the hunt. As they
slowly closed in Old Red seem-
ed to know that the fugitive
was armed for he became very
cautious, At length, every hair
a -quiver, he crawled through
some undergrowth on his belly,
the troopers creeping ,behind.
Suddenly the great hound tore
loose and shot ahead, snarling.
Immediately there came a
man's terrified scream, "Take
him away! He'll kill me!"
The troopers broke through
the thickets and rushed out into
a clearing, There was the half-
breed frantically trying to climb
a tree to avoid the fangs of the
leaping, snarling bloodhound.
"I'll tell everything," howled
the man, "Only for Pete's sake
take that dog away!" -

Life Will Be Easy
In 1975!
Do you ever wonder what life
will be like in the year 1976?
You yourself will be twenty
years older, but you'll see some
amazing changes—if recent pre-.
dictions by U.S. experts prove
accurate,
You'll live in an all -steel,
portable and fireproof home.
You'll be able to change the
colour scheme of any room in
your home by merely waving
the hand, say these prophets.
You'll stand in front of an
electronic panel and as you
wave your hand the waves,
cutting across the lines of force
or photo -electric beams, will
activate switches to hidden
fluorescent light lamps which
will bathe the room in a new
set of colours.
Sounds fine, eh? But in the
home as well as elsewhere
there'll be many more wonders
to make life brighter and better.
An automatic device will shut
all the windows directly it starts
to rain—if rain isn't completely
controlled 'by then! The house-
wife's dish and clothes -washing
machines will have no "old-
fashioned" moving parts, but
will clean quickly and effi-
ciently by passing ultra -sonic
w ayes through plates and
clothes.
Cooking will be by electronic
heat and food will be sterilized
by radiation. In restaurants,
food will be brought in con-
cealed conveyor tubes.
When ytiu make a 'phone call
in 1975 you'll be able to see the
person to whom you're speaking.
An automatic brain will park
a car while the driver strolls
off ' on pleasure or business.
Television screens will give all
drivers a full view of everything
on both sides as well as at the
front and accidents will be few-
er.
If you live in the suburbs,
you'll travel in helicopters just
as you travel by bus to-day—
only much faster. Public trans-
port in big cities will be by
rapid transit conveyor belts un-
derground. Shopping centres
will have a similar system to
carry people from shop to shop.
They may be wrong, of course,
about this dream world of twen-
ty years hence, but their pre-
dictions make attractive reading
as we dig ourselves out of the
snowdrifts of 1956.
