I was brought up to respect my parents and to believe in their kindness and justice, and to- day in my own home I see these virtues confused. "My wife and I have different ideas about child -training. She overlooks offenses which I feel are fundamental, and then pun-, ishes, the youngsters for what I call minor pranks. She is dic- tatorial by nature, and our many+ conferences usually end in her having her way and my swift retirement from the scene. "How can I reconcile her de- cisions and make her see how unreasonable they often are? I know I am not always right, but this continuing contention is getting me down; I know it is not lair to the children, I love them all deeply, and if you have any suggestions that would bring more frequent agreement, I would appreciate them.

After the first two years I fell out of Iove and I don't know why; I've never thought of another man, but my husband and I don't see life as we used to, and have many differences. He is 10 years older, and just wants to sit home all the time, while I want to enjoy life; I love people and gaiety, and I feel I am just wasting myself now, Maybe I married too young? "I don't want a divorce, be- cause of our little girl; she adores him and they are great freinds; and I think she'll need him even more as she matures. ... Shall I try to stick things out, or leave now? MARIE." * * * * I hope you will compare * your marriage with less satis- * factory ones, and cease re- * gretting it. How much worse * it could have been! Your hus- * band is faithful and kind, he * supports you well and seems * to have no vices. If both * would try to be more con- * genial, your life together could * be wonderful. * 'You are restless, I believe, * because he doesn't take Stu * out regularly. He may pre- * fer his own fireside, but a * man his age shouldn't be too * exhausted to take you dant * ing, visiting friends, or enjoy * other recreations with you. I! * only for your little girl's sake, * you both should be building * an active life for her to step * into in another few years. If * you suggest such a program * with her future in mind, it Is * very likely your husband will * co-operate fully, and find * himself enjoying outside acti- * vities which can refresh you * both, Forget divorce clow, and * start playing together for a * richer ife for you all. * * * Agreement on the children's upbringing is a MUST for all parents. It establishes harmony and trust among the family, and prevents discord ail around. Anne Hirst's understanding can be valuable in this 'situation.

Scientists who have been, trying • to find out why the villagers live to such ripe old ages confess that they're baffled. Is it something in the sea air that produces so many centen• - arians? The scientists would like to know, since they just can't find any reasonable explanation for the. villagers' longevity and extraordinary vitality. When the village's oldest in- habitant died two years ago he was 106, A number of the 500 people he left behind are centen- arians or In their nineties. Ill- ness is practically unknown there. Some of the centenarians are so spry that they get up at 5 a.m. to attend church on Sun- days. One of the villagers, Giovanni Boni, a mere "youngster" of ninety-four, reflects the youth- ful outlook of the community when he says: "It's always been my ambition to fly in an aircraft. I'm saving up for this treat, and I reckon that by the time I reach my 100th birthday I'll just about have enough to pay for a long flight." INTO HONORABLE RETIREMENT — The veteran battleship, New Jersey, is off to join the mothball fleet for the second time. When launched Dec. 7, 1942, the 45,000 -ton, three -blocks -long New Jersey and her sister ship, Iowa, were the largest war- ships afloat. In 18 months of World War 11 combat In the Pacific, she took part in nine major operations. She was first mothballed in 1948, but recalled to service in 1950 at the out- set of the Korean War, in which she was damaged in combat.

Of course we don't know exactly. what is be- ing done—or why. We can only hope it is another step towards keeping the line in good work- ing order. Years ago the tele- phone was more or less of a luxury; now it is a necessity— one reason, we depend on this one necessity to keep our lux- uries in order. Or do we have luxuries any more? Have all our luxuries become .necessities? I wonder. Hydro, for instance. In the populated areas of Ontario the percentage of homes with- out electriciy must now be very small. Even with Hydro there have been many changes. , At first farm folk were satisfied if all they had was electric light in the home. But eventually, with power easily available came an increase in conveniences both at the house and the barn.

At the barns, of course, there is a motor for this and a motor for that — for chopping, milking and separating. Yes, it is a' far cry from the days when Hydro was first installed, Which brings us back to the telephone. The more electrical appliances we have the more chances there are of something going out of order -- and the more we are likely to need the telephone, Perhaps the milking machine refuses to function; the televi- sion blacks out; the controls on the electric stove stop control- ling or maybe a bad storm hits a transformer. Whatever the trouble we run'.to the telephone. If the line is out of order we fdel completely lost. Or there may be other emergencies .. . we need a doctor in a hurry, or a vet, or the fire reel. Actually it could be a matter of life or death. So isn't It only reasonable to want — and expect — that our rural lines be maintained with maximum efficiency? Every ef- fort is usually made to keep them that way, We know that. There is also a tremendous ex- pansion program in progress. I am referring to the importance • of the telephone only as a rea- son for emphasizing that effi- cient service is an absolute must. • Well, there hasn't been any drastic cliange in the weather around here for over a week. Driving conditions on the high- ways have been good but on the Sideroads very bad. Some- times I wonder whether it is really an advantage to live close to a main highway. It makes you forget that all roads are not equally good, And that's how city visitors driving to the country often get caught nap- ping. Last week I had to make a call about twenty miles away. To cut down on the mileage I drove across country. It was a grim experience. Where it wasn't slippery it was slushy. At one point I met a truck going so fast that it completely splatter- ed my windows and windshield with slush. I couldn't \see a yard ahead of me. How 1 kept out of the ditch I'll never know as I couldn't apply the brakes. Just one more instance of how easily an accident could have happened through the careless- ness of a thoughtless driver, Be- lieve me, I didn't take any more chances on narrow cross-country roads that day. I came back by the highway. The country, as I write, is look- ing dreary and bleak without a vestige of snow and so on some farms young cattle and horses are roaming the fields,. They don't seem to mind it at all. I suppose they are conditioned to all kinds of weather. With the milking cows it is a different story, They are the farmers' babies, For them winter time is a lazy time — and they make the most of it. They have no worries whatsoever. All they can eat a n d drink is placed right in front of them. They take their till and then content- edly chew their cud or go to sleep, They,. are disturbed only at milking time and when the 'stables are cleaned. Under these conditions cows in normal good health respond by being the most contented creatures on this earth. Poultry, too, must surely pre- fer winter weather. Most birds can stand cold better than heat anyway. But, "alas, hens can be killed with kindness. Left to their own devices they become fat and lazy, So young birds are encouraged to be active — to get up early and go to bed late. Older birds — if they are held over — are allowed a little more leeway to get over the moult, But if they don't rejoin the pro- duction lines in reasonable time -it's the stewpot for them, Re- cently from one such hen I got a pound and a half of rendered fat. The fat makes excellent cakes and cookies, which, inci- dentally disappear in a hurry when we have all the family here. And that happened yester- day — so the cookie jar Is em- pty again.

His 'hand caressed' the strings that sang the, things his heart could not say in words, ' Upward, his hand followed the straight neck •of the instrument, Re began to hum.

Languidly his fingers strummed the strings of . the guitar. The sound of lazy, sad .minors surg- ed above the angrl rush of the waves. "Marilia has never said a word about a man looking new . and important with a clean shirt on. Perhaps she did not want to worry me, She kitew I have but one shirt, one pair of trousers." He . laughed a low, intimate laugh, "Perhaps I have always seemed . clean' to her.' The foam of the waves Is better than the soap the, women rub on their clothes, Still, I like the smell of things , clean, I like the way Marilia's kitchen is.- I have never seen the table bare, as in the hut of Cravina, with the , marks of Juca's fingers showing on the wood. Marilia's white cloth with lacy endings makes 'the kitchen a place where a prince would come to eat. When a man sits at a table that has a cloth like Marilia's, a man ought to have his fingers clean. "She has knives and forks, too. Cravina says it is because Marilia thinks herself above the Others of the village, but I know it is because she likes her fin- gers .to be clean.

'From "White Shore of Olinda,'!. by Sylvia Leao, Fascination Of Deep Sea Shells I have often been asked, "What is the best time to collect shells?" There is no "best"' time anywhere, Shells are to be found at all seasons in all latitudes and as some species are to be found at one season or even during a short period in one season, and are absent at other times, the collector should endeavor to hunt shells at all times. Very often some species of shell will be abundant for a day or two and then completely vanish. Neither is there any one stage to the tide which is 'the , "best" for collect- ing. Some shells are to be found only at low tide, others at •high tide, others at the turns of the tides. Also, many species of shells are nocturnal and only appear very early in the morning be- fore theyhave hidden away, or late in the afternoon when they begin to come forth from their hiding places. If you are lucky enough to live within reach of the shore, or spend your summers by the sea, or go to Florida, the West Indies or California or some other warm place for the winter, you will find the "shelling" is a most fascinating occupation, A great many shells live In the short, dense sea grass that car- pets many mud flats°and shelly, sandy bottoms. Here is where you will find the ark shells or blood clams, many .species of periwinkles and Naticas, a num- ber of nice bi-valve shells, and if you are collecting in a locality where they , occur, Murex and Cymatium, as well as the Astraeas or star shells, the dial shells, and if you are lucky, the strange carrier shells already described. A great many desirable species of shells rarely venture into shoal water but inhabit the sea at depths from one to , hundreds of fathoms.. Of course it is quite out of, the question for the or- dinary'collector to capture these very deep -water shells, for heavy dredging equipment and 'a good-sized vessel are needed to accomplish _this. But it is a fairly easy 'and not an expensive un- dertaking to dredge in moderate depths of from ten to twelve feet to forty or even one hundred feet, and a vast number of shells inhabit theses depths both in the north and in the south. But if you . really love shells or are interested in them and are serious about making a 'shell col- lection, you will not' mind •the. drudgery,. time, and . patience necessary. In fact you will come to enjoy the work, fir. • there really is an ' immense amount of satisfaction' in seeing the dirty, unattractive looking' s h e 11 s, gathered here and there, and everywhere become transformed into lovely, colorful, clean speci- mens such as you see in the ex- hibits, in museums.

Early in the war she had fallen in love with Etienne Szabo, a gallant young officer of the Free French Forces in England, mar= ried -him and borne him a daughter. When he was killed at . El Alamein she joined the A.T.S. to dedicate her sorrow, to the service of her country, helped to man an ack-ack battery. on the Mersey, then, on account of her knowledge of French, was invited to enrol in the Special Operations Executive as a F.

Tread ever so lightly on this snare and voomi — 13 jagged teeth spring into your leg, ren- dering you helpless in the face of husband hunters. The fiend- ish device, being pondered over by Chris'Cominel, was once used to ensnare poachers on an Eng- Iish estate. most dangerous jobs a girl could undertake. -Not by- the wildest stretch of imagination could the slightly - built shop -girl have foreseen the -role she was to play in Ger- man -held Normandy just after D -Day. Her second mission there was a parachute drop on June 7th, 1944, to join a Resist- anee group and help sabotage in every possible way the Ger- man defences. With the chief of the local Maquis, "Anastasie," she had to contact groups in neighbouring sectors for a concerted plan of operations, It meant a perilous car journey' over guarded roads which were being used by the Germans to rush up reserves— and there was a price on Anas- tasie's head. At ' Salon -la -Tour they ran into an ambush, Anastasie leapt out with his Tommy -gun, Viol- ette. with her Sten, while others in the party scattered, Then followed. 11. desperate running fight across fields which R. • J. Minney describes graphically in his story of her life, "Carve Her Name with Pride." Bullets rained on them from about thirty Germans who were soon joined by . the advance guard of,an S.S. Panzer division sweeping the villages to clear the road. Violette received a wound in her left arm, then was brought down by an ankle which had been injured during her training jumps. Anastasie picked her up, but she strug- gled to get free. "Don't be a fool," she said, "We can't both be saved, You won't stand a chance if you're • caught. Besides, you've. got work to • do. , Go • on. Get out!" She beat his shoulders with her fists, kicked and wriggled, brought them both down into the standing corn, Bullets were pinging all round them now, She limped off to an apple tree, an easy target. It was a miracle she wasn't killed. Standing up, she blazed away at 'the oncoming Germans, about 400 in all, "Run!" she called. "Run! It's your last chance!" As two armoured cars con- verged towards them he man- aged to reach a farmhouse and worm his way into a pile of logs. The farmer's two daughters, who knew him, came out and quickly piled more logs on top of him. Seeing a foot still exposed, one of them promptly sat down on it to hide it, a ruse which eventu- ally enabled him to escape, Violette, her Sten gun maga- iines empty, was cornered and seized, ails she kicked and fought back with her fists, two German soldiers pinioned her and half - dragged her—exhausted and in great pain—to the heap of logs where Anastasie lay hidden. "I like your spirit," the young armoured -car officer toid her. "You put up a wonderful fight— right up to the end." He took a cigarette from his case, stuck it between her lips, but she spat it out. "You dirty cowards," she raged. "I don't want your cigar- ettes!" Then she demanded that the men let go her arms so that she could light a cigarette of her own. ' As the two armoured cars turned into the village street hundreds watching from their windows saw her go by, shouting death and damnation to her cap- tors: "Your fate is already seal- ed. The end is drawing near. It won't be long now. Then you swines will get your desserts in full!" During months of captivity— at Limoges, Fresnes, Ravensbruck and . elsewhere—Violette main- tained her attitude of defiance. Questioned and tortured at the , Gestapo H.Q. in Paris, she stead- fastly refused to betray her Re- sistance colleagues. At Torgau prison labour camp she planned "to escape with a masterkey that a man in the precision tools section made for her; but she was searched, and the key was found. Punishment: ten strokes and solitary confine- ment.. At Koenigsburg, where she had to fell trees and clear the ground for a new airfield, she endured three bleak winter months of privation, and often for insubordinatiof1 and con- tempt was beaten and denied her scant rations. Eventually, at Ravensbruck in February, 1945, she was taken • out and shot in the back of the neck with two other prisoners— Lillian .Rolfe and Danielle. Wil- liams (real name Bloch) — by order of the German Secret Po- lice. "All three were very brf.N e and I was deeply moved," said camp commandant Schwarzhu- ber in a report made later under oath. She was only twenty-three, the first British woman to be awarded (posthumously) the George Cross. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AGENTS WANTED GO INTO BUSINESS for yourself.

ISSUE 2 — 1957 Painful Profits Ever heard of the Accident Racket? It's a form .of fraud by . which artful people fake acci- dents and injuries in order to claim compensation. A Frenchman made a set of imitation horse's teeth from wood, clamped it on his arm un- til the flesh showed the marks of a painful "bite" and then claim- ed damages from a big firm of haulage contractors. He made quite a nice living until one day he showed on his arm the marks of a perfect set of horse's teeth, but the vet, who examined the old horse ac- cused of savaging him found that .it had only half a set of uppers! Another shady character used to make money by falling out of a moving train and then claim- ing damages. He was always breaking an arm or a couple of ribs. But the lucrative racket was painful, so he decided to "die" of his injuries. He "died" several times, until one of his claims was dealt with by an of- ficial who had previously work- ed for another insurance com- pany and had handled an earlier death claim for the same man. As two deaths per person was more than an average risk, the official called at his address and found the "corpse" enjoying his dinner!

His sensitive fingers telt the ridges and undulations, He turned to Barney's mother, "Ma- dam," he said, "your son may be a fine classical scholar, but his head indicates that he is a finan- cial genius. Train him either for finance or politics," That interview with the phre- nologist sealed the fate of young Baruch. Today, at the age of eighty-five, he is one of the rich- est men in the world, his for- tune being estimated at up to $75,000,000. At eleven he was stubby, fat and nicknamed "Bunch" by the lads In his street who ran their fingers up the back of his head as he passed. This riled him, but he took boxing lessons and lost both his fat and his quick tem- per, for it's easier to be calm when you can meet personal in- sults with a handy left hook. So good was he with his hands that Bob Fitzsimmons, the fight- er, advised him to take up box- ing as a profession. But as he could speak French and German • fluently, and read Latin, Greek and Hebrew, he put his name down for West Point. One deaf ear, however, pre"ented him from becoming a soldier. Then his mother remembered the phrenologist's advice and got her son into a Wall Street firm where his job was to convert dollars into foreign currency, Soon he could beat the calculator machines! As routine work.irked him he trekked to Colorado and, during the summer of 1890, dug ore in a mine shaft. Then with his sav- ings he bought shares in an ad- jacent mine and thought he was on the road to riches. But the ore was so bad that the mine closed down and he learned his first lesson—never buy first and investigate later. That autumn, almost broke, he returned to Wall Street as a $5 a week broker's clerk, filling Inkwells, running errands and studying the markets. He had such a brain for figures that other clerks found it saved time to ask him rather than look up the answers. Unlike them, he pored over law books, studied bookkeeping and became so use- ful to his firm that soon he was earning five times his starting salary. Meanwhile, he had met a pret- ty girl, and asked his boss to double his salary. "No," was the answer, "but will you accept a junior partnership instead, which on last year's figures means at least $30 a week?" Baruch ac- cepted—it was a good wage in those days. Later, with an inborn shrewd- ness and intuition, he calculated that the U.S. Congress would not cut the sugar tariff; he gambled on it and made $100,000, With *95,000 he bought a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. Next year, while holidaying in New Jersey, his partner 'phoned to say that Commodore Schley had destroyed the Spanish fleet .at Santiago Bay. The market was closed, for It was the long week- end of July 4th, and he knew that when business began it would go mad. So he hired a locomotive and a single coach and dashed to New York. As the office was locked, he lifted his son through a small window to let him in from the inside. Then he telephoned the tip to the firm's customers and cabled London to buy American stocks the moment the London Stock Exchange opened, On Monday stocks surged up and he made a bundle. Once, Baruch made a, lot of money by accident. It was when big financiers were fighting for control of Northern Pacific Rail- road, Baruch bought as stocks were rising, but knew that the stock he was buying was un- sound and intended selling the next day. In the morning " his mother 'phoned and said sternly, "Bernard, have you forgotten what day it is?" It was Yom Kippur, on which no orthodox Jew may transact business, Yet if Baruch did not sell, he would be ruined' when prices fell, "I expect you to stay at home," said his mother. "All right, Mother," he prom- ised. Had he been able to use the 'phone on Yom Kippur he would have made a few thousands; as it was, shares kept rising and through no skill of his own he netted $750,000. By the time he was thirty-two he was worth a million dollars for every year of his life. When he became a multimil- lionaire he bought a 10,000 -acre estate, well stocked with deer, wild turkey, duck, quail and other game. Here the famous visited him, and once an admiral who was possibly the worst marksman since the invention of the shotgun, spent a week firing hundreds of rounds with- out hitting anything. Then a guide led him to a tree and pointed to an enormous tur- key perched on a branch. The admiral let fly. Down thumped the bird, but when he ran to it in triumnh he saw a card tied to its neck. On it was written: "With the compliments of Ber- nard M. Baruch," Baruch knows how to turn everything to profit; even deaf- ness. His deaf aid has a secret cut-off switch. Asked what he thought of one politician, re- nowned as a bore, he chuckled: "I've heard nothing he's said to me since 1935," Money, as such, means nothing to him, "You can't eat it," he says, "and when you have enough, the remainder is merely a liability," He gives away im- mense sums, and for years has done government work without pay. Once he gave a million dol- lars to the Red Cross and no one knew of the gift for more than twenty-five years. But he has such a genius for• making money that he has little fear of poverty, "Right up to the day they put the coffin lid on me," he says with a grin, "I'11 al- ways have a dollar more than I need," PERFECT ANSVVER Although there are many centenarians living to -day in the United States, it's said that a clerk in an employment bureau in New York was as- tounded when she noticed re- ently the figures 110 and 107 in the spaces reserved for "Age of Father, if living" and "Age of Mother, if living" on the docu- ment which had been handed in by an applicant for work. "Haven't you made a mis- take?" asked the surprised clerk. "Surely your parents aren't that old?" "No," replied the applicant, "but they would be—if living." GUESS WHO?

A good ex- ample of his modern imitators comes from the U.S.A. where a gang of chicken thieves, after raiding the local chicken houses, left behind a hen and a rooster in each, with the note: We steal from the rich We steal from the poor, We leave this pair So you can raise some morel Many sweet lines have been written in prison, It was while he was jailed that Oscar Wilde wrote his famous "Ballad of Reading Gaol." Charles Peace, who had a taste for versifying, devoted some of his spare time in prison to writing hymns and even composed his epitaph.

The moss on which the reindeer feeds covers the whole ground, which is flat and only skirted by hills at some distance; but these hills also are clothed with this moss. The colour of the moss is a pale yellow, w h 1 c h, when dry, changes to white: the regularity of its shape, and the uniform manner in which the surface of the ground is decked with it, appears very singular and strik- ing: it has the semblance of a beautiful carpet. These plants grow in a shape nearly octa; gonal, and approaching to a cir- cle: and as they closely join each other, they form a kind of mosaic work or embroidery. The white appearance of the country, which thence arises, may for a moment make you imagine that the ground is cov- ered with snow; but the idea of a winter scene is done away by the view of little .thickets in full green, which you per- ceive scattered here and there, and still more by the presence of the sun 'and the warmth of his rays. As this moss is very dry, nothing c a n , possibly be more pleasant to walk upon nor can there be anything softer to serve as a bed. Its cleanness and whiteness Is tempting to the sight, and when we had nut up our tent, we found ourselves in every respect very comfortably lodged. I had many times be- fore met with this moss, but in no place had I found it so rich, It was the only produce here, which nature seemed to favour and support; no other herb was growing near it, nor any other vegetable. on the spot, except a few birch trees, with their Un- derwood, and some firs, dispers- ed on a hill by the river side. All these seemed to vegetate with difficulty, as if deprived of nourishment by the moss, and appeared withering and stunted. Some trees, indeed, which grow very near the water, had the appearance of being In a flour- ishing state, perhaps owing to the moisture they derived from the river: but, In short, this moss appeared to be the royal plant, which ruled absolute, over the vegetable kingdom of the coun- u TABLE TALKS. &aae Andrews. According to' Kipling there are "nine -and -forty way, of constructing tribal lays," and I'm sure there are at least that many recipes for making ; pan - 'cakes, flapjacks or whatever you like to call them, But here's a kind that were new to me, until recently a Danish va- riety that I'm sure you'll find well' worth the little extra trouble of making them. • * • At ]east once during the Christmas season we have aebleskiver. They are the little round Danish' pancake balls that are delicious with jelly and butter. The whole family en- dorses them as a breakfast treat; and they are equally good for afternoon or evening re- freshments, .served with jam or fruit and a beverage, Perhaps the custom came to us through a San Fransisco boarding house where my land- lady used to prepare these de- lectable morsels during the holidays: But my appreciation for them goes back even farther than that. My Danish school friends introduced them to me, writes Evelyn Jensen in The Christian Science Monitor. Once I remember visiting a " friend while she was baking the pancake balls, Fascinated, I watched her carefully grease each depression in the aeble- • skiver pan, then fill each three- fourths full of batter, She wait- ed until bubbles appeared on the surface, then with two forks flipped each ball so it could cook on the ,other side. "Are they hard to turn?" I asked. "You can try the next batch," she asked. With some trepidation I took the forks, My movements were clumsy, but, I got them over. Not only that, mine came out almost • as fine and found as hers. Her young brother stared at me in amazement. "Why, you can do it, too!" We ,all laughed, but I must confess that up until that mo- ment I'd shared his conviction that turning aebleskiver was an exclusive Danish accomplIsh- ment. Right then I made a de- cision. An aebleskiver pan try, and distributed its bounty and influence amongst a parti- cular, race of men and animals. — From "Travels Through Swe- den, Finland, and Lapland, to the North Cape," by Joseph Acerb!. would be included in my fu- ture household equipment! An indeed it Is, We pur- chased our from our local hard- ware dealer clueing the early years of our marriage. Mine is cast Iron, which keeps a steady heat, and has seven depressions. As in baking regular pancakes, the pan is ready when drops of water bounce on its surface, or when it just barely begins to smoke. It mustn't be too hot, A mixture ,of half butter and half lard is used to grease the depressions. I keep it warm in a flat - bottomed aluminum measuring cup and dip it out with a teaspoon as needed. Knitting needles will turn the balls as well .as sharp forks. If you want to be sure there is no uncooked dough in the centre, test with a knitting needle or cake tester, Experience will soon teach you when they are done. If you are wondering about pronunciation, it's abs-la-skeev- er, with the accent on the fink syllable. (Or at least that's about as close as most of us cast get.) Even if you 'resort to. call- ing them "dingle• berries,' as some of our friends' do, you'll enjoy them! Here`are three of our favorite batters, • • • AEBLESKIVER Separate 6 eggs, Beat the whites until stiff Put the yolks Into another bowl and beat slightly' Sift together 3 cups sifted. bread flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt. Add the dry ingredients to the yolks alternately' with' 2 cups milk' and 2 tablespoons melted butter Fold in the beaten white, (1 ,usually halve this recipe for my family of four,) AEBLESKIVER WITH SOUR MILK 3 cups sifted flour 3 teaspoons baking powder '/s teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt.

Let rise about 2 hours be- fore baking , Any of these recipes may be varied by adding lemon,' nut- meg, or cardamon. Currants, seedless raisins, small cubes of raw apple, or bits of cooked prune may be dropped into each individual section just before turning the pancake balls, BOY AND HIS HERO-Three•year-old Alex Carroll, Jr,, is prob-' ably too young to cppreciate his luck, but he knows grownups are making a fuss over "Bubble," his pet mongrel.

Jokes That Ended In Tragedy At a merry party in a Shrop- shire manor house an attractive young guest was dared to sleep in the '"haunted room"' !'I don't believe in ghosts," she, declared defiantly. But the young sons of the house decided to 'give her a pro- per scare. From their father's collection of foreign curios they obtained a mummifies; hand, covered. it with phosphorescent paint and placed it on the girl's pillows Then when she went to bed they listened outside her door for the expected cry of fright. It came -but it was no ordin- ary cry, It was a high-pitched scream of wild and unreasoning terror, which chilled their blood, and it was followed by fear- some animals noise s, deep growls and savage snarls. White-faced, panic-stricken, the boys rushed to their father and blurted out their story. He and some of the guests rushed to the bedroom and . battered down the door, The girl was sitting on the bed. Her eyes were wild and staring, her features4contorted into a mask which seemed scarcely human, From her throat came the bestial noises which had so, terrified the two boys, The stupid joke had driven her mad, Horrible?; Undoubtedly, But this is by rmeans the only oc- casion on which jokes have re- sulted in tragedy, A Lancashire mill -hand, of poor mentality, was unable to find a girl friend, But one day he was convinced by some of his workmates that an attractive young woman in the same mill had fallen' in love with him. Delighted, he approached the girl. "Give me a kiss," he beg- ged. She stared at him contemp- tuously. Then embcldencd by the nods and winks' of his mates, he attempted to seize her in his arms. In her annoy- ance the girl pushed him viol- ently aside and gave him a stinging slap on the face. "Keep your dirty hands off me, you hail -wit," she blazed. The same evening his body was found in the canal.- Ridicule had played, on his weak mind. and driven him to suicide. Schoolboys are fond of play- ing jokes; sometimes their ideas uf•humourlead to uninteritional; cruelty -end worse. At one school, a boy was terrified of mice. His classmates regarded him as a sissy, They captured a mouse and hid it in his desk. When the boy, lifted the lid the mouse jumped out, ran up, FREEDOM JITTERS - Freedom has its uncertainties,- for Eva Della Casa, 20, as, nervously biting her nails, she waits for a plane with 100 other Califor- nia -bound Hungarian refugees. his arm, on to his shoulder and scuttled off, The boy shrieked, turned deathly white and fain- ted, This experience brought on such a serious nervous condition that he had to be sent to a spe- cial school, A joke had jeopar- ized that youngster's whole future. , - To some of. the London boys who were evacuated during the • war the country was a frighten- ing place after dark. And a number of Suffolk locals played on a city -bred youngster's fears, "That lane you go along every evening is haunted," ' they told him solemnly, "The devil walks there!" The boy was scared, but he put a bold face on the matter, One night he heard /he clank- ing of chains in the lane and a queer noise, In the lightof the stars he saw ahostiy, devilish -looking h e a cf with horns coming towards him, The boy was terrified. He tur- ned and ran, not realizing in his terror that the "devil's head" was only a goat, tethered there by the jokers. They found him the next morning, In his un- reasoning fear he had pitched over the edge of a sand -pit. Result: several weeks in hos- pital. Highly strung people are dan- erous subjects for jokes, An Essex husband learned this through a bitter experience, "Shan't be in till late to -night," he told his wife as he left for work one morning. "I'm going out with another woman," He was only joking. But his wife took it seriously. She moped, and in her extreme de- pression put her head in the gas oven. Fortunately, she was rescued in time, Another woman who suffered through the misguided humour of others was a decidedly plain girl who worked in a London office. She rushed in one day waving a letter which bore an address in Wardour Street. "One of our talent scouts has been watching you," it said. "You seem to be eminently suitable for a big part in our next film." The foolish girl went to the address given -only to find that she was the victim of a cruel joke, She guessed that her office colleagues were responsible and knew that they would pull her leg unmercifully, Terrified at facing their ridicule, her eyes blurred with tears, she stag- gered into the street -She walk- ed straight into a bus and was • crippled for life. Watch Quiz Do you wear a watch? Is so, do you know that: Mary Queen of Scots possessed a death's head watch which was made out of a human skull.

TIIL FMN FONT 612umell This week we continue the highlights of the farm outlook for 1957 as foreshadowed from the Agricultural Conference held in Ottawa Dec. 3-5, 1956. , LIvestock Total meat production in in- spected or apprayed establish- ments in Canada in 1956 ap- pears to be approaching the rec- ord 1.9 billion pounds set in 1944, In 1957 production will probably differ only slightly from 1956 levels, an anticipated reduction in pork production beieg probably offset by in- creased beef production. A continued strong. domestic demand for- meat, plus an'anti- cipated firm improved United States market should prevent any significant decline in cat- tle prices, while all the indica- tors consumer demand, • ex- port possibilities, and the sup- ply position - point to strong hog and pork prices, both In absolute terms and relative to beef prices. The relative price position will likely cause some switching by consumers from pork to beef, thus causing an additional increase in the aI- ready high Ievel of domestic disappearance of beef. A slight increase is looked for in calf slaughter, while sheep and lamb slaughter will prob- ably remain about the same, No marked change in prices of calves, or of sheep and lambs, is expected. Dairy Products Milk production in 1957 is es- timated at 17.5 billion pounds, about the same as in the pre- vious two years, The fluid milk market expanded by increased population, will probably ab- sorb any small increase in to- tal milk production and per- haps divert some milk from other products to fluid use. During, 1957 consumption of creamery butter is expected to 'exceed production with the «if- ference made up out of exist- ing stocks. Cheddar cheese pro- duction and consumption are likely to be about the same as in 1958 with slightly less cheese available for export in 1957, Output of evaporated milk and dry skimmed milk will prob- ably be approximately in bal- ance with consumption, with any increases reflecting the growth in population and fairly stable per capita consumption. Ice cream production may reach 34 million gallons, about one million gallons more than the previous record set in 1955. Eggs and Foultt y - Eggs -- During the remain- der of 1056 and the first five months of 1957 swings in the supply and price patterns will be more pronounced and egg prices will, on the average, not be as favorable to producers as during the corresponding per- iod a year earlier. During the summer months of the coming year it is expected that produc- tion and prices will be similar to those in the cortesponding period of 1956, Poultry -- The poultry meat situation In 1957 will be dom- inated even more by develop- ments in the chicken broiler and turkey industries than in 1958. Both of these segments of the poulry industry are rapid- ly developing new and more efficient methods of production and marketing with the result that they are now the two ma- jor sources of poultry meat in this country. In view of this situation it is expected that price levels for poultry meat In 1957 will be about the same as in 1956. Fruits and Vegetables. The 1956 apple crop of 12.0 million bushels was 37 per cent less than the bumper crop of 1955 and 16 per cent below the 1949-53 average, As a result of the small crop, prices have been, and are expected to con- tinue at higher levels than in 1955. Barring unforeseen de- velopments, the 1957 crop will probably exceed that of 1956, Larger crops of peaches, pears and cherries are anticipated in 1957 than in 1956, The 1957 crop of strawberries and rasp- berries is expected to exceed that of 1956 but It will be a few years before the 1949-53 level of production is reached. The 1956 potato crop of 68.8 million bushels was one per cent larger than that o1 1955. Both imports and exports dur- ing 1956-57 are not expected to reach the levels of 1955-56. The average price received during the season as a whole is expect- ed to be above that of the 1955- 56 crop year. Consumer demand for fresh vegetables in 1957 is expected to remain strong. Because of the smaller packs of canned vegetables in 1956, the acreage contracted for processing in 1957 is expected to be increased. During 1957 the growth of the frozen fruit and vegetable in- dustry is expected to be main- tained, Seeds Production of pedigreed cere- eals in 1956 was practically the same as in 1955. Because of frost damage and poor harvest weather there may be some lo- cal scarcity of good quality pedigreed seed but the total supplies of most of the popular varieties should be adequate for domestic needs, leaving a sur- plus of some varieties available for export. The production of Selkirk wheat, Parkland bar- ley and Rodney and Garry oats was greatly increaset:. Estimated production of all the principal forage c1'op seeds in 1956, with the exception of sweet clover and meadow fes- cue, was less than in 1955. The alfalfa seed crop was much the smallest on record and produc- tion of alsike clover, red clover, timothy, bronze -grass and crest- ed wheatgrass was considerably below average. With the exception of alfalfa and red clover seed, supplies of the principal hay and pasture seeds, in spite of smaller pro- duction, should be sufficient to meet domestic requirements, As supplies of alfalfa seed will not be sufficient for domestic needs it is expected that substantial quantities of seed of adaped varieties will be imported from Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking isnwINy M 97 0 1 d1 S0 d V Pi B a 0 9 9 9 9 a S 1 0 M a 1 9 (1 a kN v 9 v S 3 9 0 l SIS 9 a 0 a w SN a 1 a 0 H 0 0 CI 1 N 1 a 0 N S 1 0 a U v '1 V b the United States to supplement Canadian production, Canadian grown double -cut type red clo- ver seed will also be in short supply, but seed- to' meet domes- tic needs is available from the United Kingdom and the United States, Smaller crops of many forage seeds in • Canada, the United States and Western Europe have stimulated prices on world mar- kets and prices to growers in 1950 are considerably higher than a year ago, There was some increase in estimated production of peas, beans and corn in 1956 com- pared to 1955, although produc- tion of beans and corn was con- siderably below average. Most of the sugar -beet stecklings in British Columbia were lost through winter killing and practically no crop was harv- ested. Production of swede and mangel seed was confined en- tirely to the Maritimes and is the smallest in years. Substan- tial imports of most vegetables and root seeds will be required to supplement Canadian pro- duction; this Is, however, a nor- mal situation and it is expected that the necessary supplies will be available as usual from the United States and Europe. Ducking Stools For Nagging Wives It was seriously suggested by a henpecked British husband re- sently that the old-time duck- ing stools should be reintroduced in this country as a method of curing the nagging tongues of wives. His idea is unlikely to be adopted but it is similar to a proposal made a few years ago London magistrate who declared that he would gladly give his Parliamentary vote to the can- didate who would promise to do his best to revive the ducking stool as a punishment for too - talkative women. This queer instrument usually consisted of a chair fixed to a crossbeam which was erected over a pond into which the of- fender was dipped three times. The method was said to be very effective. Its use was not con- fined to shrews. Quarrelsome couples were tied back to back by their neighbours and ducked together. DIshonest traders were also punished in the ducking stool. Brewers of bad beer, bakers of Inferior bread and butchers con- victed of short weight were all liable to be ducked. The last recorded use of the ducking stool in England was at Leominster in 1809, though there was a later sentence which was commuted. Few ducking stools survive in Britain today, but in 1931 one which was formerly used to pun- ish "unruly women" at , Kenil- worth, Warwickshire, was dis- covered in a barn where it had lain hidden. *ijIjtY SCIIOOL LESSON By Rev ft.

The first temptation concerned the basic desire for food, After all, one must eat. But "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that pro- • ceedeth out of the mouth of God." At the recent Christian Business Men's Convention in Chicago a garage owner told of how Jesus had entered his heart and transformed his life.. He discontinued the practice of turning back the speedometer when preparing the trade-ins for the used car market. Some dealers will tell you that you have to turn them back, "You can't sell a car with 70,000 miles on the speedometer," they say. Well, anyway, this man is pros- pering in his business better than ever before. People come to him because they know they can believe him. We wish every dealer would follow his ex- ample. Many desire fame, Some have gained it by posing in the nude. Surely that is casting 'oneself down. But the crowd who ap- plaud today will be cold and heartless later on. Jesus would take no cheap way to fame by leaping from the temple's pin- nacle. There is also the desire for possessions, Men lust for far more than the necessities of life, The people who are arres- ted for swindling their employer are not stealing for the sake of bread. It's because they want a new car, beautiful furniture, fine clothes, liquor and the like. In this good country people don't need to steal to eat. It's the lust for luxuries that gets people into trouble, Jesus would not bow to the Devil to get the kingdoms of this world. Men are still tempted to give way to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life, Let us not yield but sat- urate ourselves in the trhith of God's Word, Then we can repel the Devil with the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.
