"Dear Anne Hirst: Never be-
fore have I consulted a strang-
er, but your column has often
impressed me as wise and hon-
est. . . .We have been married
nine years, and I cannot ap-
prove of the way my wife Is
handling our two youngsters. 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.

*When you and your wife

* The siutation is too vital to

HUSBAND BORES HER
"Dear Anne Hirst; We mar-
ried nine years ago, and have
a daughter of eight. 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

* genial, your life together could

Healthy Village
Any man or woman who seri-
ously wants to live to be a cen-
tenarian should go to live in the
little village of Cologne Marina,
on the Adriatic coast of Italy.
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.

All last week the telephone
repair men were busy stringing
extra wires from pole to pole
alongside the cable, Now wasn't
it nice of the Bell Telephone
Company to adopt our sugges-
tions so quickly! 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. Now

in some farm homes, besides
the usual gadgets and appliances,
you find home freezers, automa-
tic washers, oil -burning fur-
naces and even air-conditioning,
(But not at Ginger Farm, I'm
afraid.) 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. Even Edward shares

cise his brand new teeth !
Reluctant Hero
Riverside promenaders saw an
elderly man struggling in the

They crowded round as a

dressed into the sea and brought

Everybody showered the res-

"Oh, well, it's all right with

they . finally allowed him to
speak, "but what I'd like to know
is — who pushed me off the
bank?"

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. From ."Shell

WIT
Sat On Spy To

Violette Bushell—English fa-

a slip of 'a Brixton ''shop -girl.
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

her knowledge of French, was

by Chris'Cominel, was once used
to ensnare poachers on an Eng-

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.

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!

Made Fortune By
Taking Day Off
A dignified man placed his
hands on little Bernard Baruch's
head. 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."

• Jail Bards'
Francois Villon, King of the
Beggars of Paris, was also a
thief and a poet. 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

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. Let's
hope that his hymns were of
better quality than another pri-
son epic;

the. bodies were extremely well

Carpets of Moss
The country around offered a
scene very uncommon and to
us quite new. 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.

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!

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,

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.

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

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. Barclay Warren
B,A., B.D.
How To Resist Temptation
Matthew 3:16-4:11
Memory Selection: Thou ahiU
worship the Lord thy God, anti
him only shalt thou serve. Mat-
thew 4:10.
The great temptation at the
end of the forty days in the
wilderness was no farce. Hers
Jesus in his perfect manhood
was subjected to the same temp-
tations that we experience to-
day, He did not yield. If we
open our hearts to Him we can
triumph too.
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.
RIDING OUT THE GAS PINCH - Piggybacking, used by Amerb
can railroads for several years, makes its appearance in France
just in • time to help out in the current gasoline shortage. Pie•
lured in Paris is a special flat car (top) equipped to handle
trailers or (bottom) big transport trucks. Shippers con send
loaded vehicles to distant points at great saving in rationed
gas.
