Station To Be Sold And Moved ( By our Auburn Correspondei<t) Once a busy, thriving centre In 'this community, the Auburn C.F.R. Station is now awaiting the hamaner of some buyer who will remove it from. it's present site. Modern transportation has now replaced the old steansOen- gine passenger train, which chugged , into this station bringing many pas- sengers and freight, express and .also ' brought in the Royal Mail. This .een• tre also I;r,asted of a large grain `ele- vator which bought the farmer's grain and had it ready to ship to other cent- res when the need arose. The stock yards were always busy with bujlers shipping nearly every morning to;the city markets. The late Mr. 0. E, Er- ratt shipped cattle and hogs on three days of the week, and the Watson Bros., of Blyth. on two other days. These animals were weighed by; the weigh -master for many years,• the I late Mr. Charles Straughan, The scales were owned by local farmers, and a few years ago were sold t¢rtthe local coal dealers. In 1888 a delegation was appointed to attend a meeting in Listowel, t to see what could be done towards `n- ducing the C.P.R, to extend its lines from Guelph to Goderich, passing through Auburn. It was not until 1903 that this work was begun. 'rhe ;first train went through in the fall of 1907 and caused great excitement and I many of our older citizens recall go- ing to see the first train come in to this station. The first freight that came in was n car of ralt for the late !Mr. W. T. P.Iddle, but this came before the completion of the line. Many loads of lumber and wooden rollers have ;been shipped from this centre in the Iby-gone days by the sawmill nearby. The following agents of this once blies, station and telegraph station were: • Murray Patterson, troy East- man, Fred Holetorf, Lionel Batten, Russel Shaw, Norman Murray, Bert Keays, Harry Riorclon, Elmer Keller. The station was then in charge of a caretaker, Mrs, Elmer Keller and then Mrs. Robert Arthur who has operated this depot for the loot 12 years until closing at the end of April of this year, The train tracks have been keptin repair by the section foreman during the past years: Harry Brownlee, Char- les Bell, Mailand Allen 1912-1952, then C1tfford Brown. Later this section; • Toast of Princes Died Penniless Recently, a 95 -year-old woman died in a New York hospital, where she had been brought from a tiny, squalid room. Few would have recognized her as Belle Livingstone, once the toast of princes and millionaires, later still the uncrowned queen of the New York dives. Thus ended a remarkable life which had begun when her un- known mother abandoned her on a doorstep in Emporia, Kansas, The tiny child was found by a newspaper editor, John Ram- say Graham, who took her home and adopted her, By the time she was 20, Belle had already made up her mind that life in a small provincial town was not for hei. She told Graham she wanted to become a dancer, an ambition which he ►ternly opposed. Almost immediately, B e l i e went out into the street, stopped the first likely -looking passer- by and asked him to marry her. Ile agreed—to a marriage of eonvenience—and Belle confront- ed her foster -father as a mar- ried woman, free to do as she pleased. Soon after she had gone to New York, where the critics hailed her as "the girl with the poetic legs", her husband, Rich- ard Waring, died. Since then e had been no time to obtain the divorce they had arranged, Bele inherited his fortune of $150,000, The year was 1897, and she left New York in search o: adventure in the Old World, For five years she roamed between London, Paris and even Arabia, where she pitched her tents in the desert in an unsuc- cessful attempt to work a mine. Then she lost all her money an the stock exchange and she was back where she started—or so it teemed. But fortune took a hand again. She bet a London millionair", Charles Ansell, that the could go round the world on a mere $25, using her personal charms to make up for her lack of money. The two signed a contract. If Belle lost, she must marry a man she had previously rejected. But if she won she would be about $25,000 better off. She got as far as Japan, where the met and fell in love with an Italian count. Cabling Ansel' to ask whether the terms of their bet permitted her to marry, she received the Lnswer, "Take the man and the money, too.' A countess now, Belle return- ed ficr America for a visit. But while she was there the count died and, since the marriage had been in Japan, she could not legally inherit as his widow. There followed a providential third marriage, to a Cleveland millionaire, a fourth, to an English colonel who left her in order to live a quieter life with his sisters, After that, Belle Med the tables of Monte Carlo, where she lost everything. In 1927 she again returned to her native America, where Prohibition was in full force. With money she had earned by publishing her memoirs she opened a chain of dives where customers could buy bootleg liquor—at a price. They paid more than $130 a near membership fees for what delle Livingstone liked to de- scribe as her "clubs", and a glass of very dubious synthetic alcohol could cost up to $5. She was frequently arrested, but invariably discharged, since the police had to prove that she was the proprietor of a dive, and that she herself organized the ott'e of alcoholic drinks. Her e,1 u b s" became fashionable among New York society, and she went from strength to strength --till December, 1930, It was then that three plain- clothes detectives ordered drinks in her club on 58th Street. They put all the waiters and barmen under arrest, then went upstairs to the third floor, where Belle Livingstone was in pyjamas, in readiness to go to bed. Belle escaped out of the win- dow and slid down a rope, which was hanging there in readiness for such emergencies. For half an hour the police pursued her over the rooftops, finding her an easy quarry in her bright red pyjamas. At last she man- aged to get into a near -by house, and thought herself safe; but when she let herself out into the street, two policemen were waiting to arrest her. Her trial was the talk of the City. She appeared in court to- gether with scores of cases of "hooch", brought as evidence. But although she vehemently de- nied every charge, claiming, among other things, that she had been educated at Oxford and the Sorbonne, Paris, she went to prison for 30 days. When she was released she was banned from opening or running any more "clubs" in the city of New York. Nothing daunted, she moved her headquarters to Reno, but the repeal of Prohibition finally put an end to her fortune. Fail- ing in Reno, she tried and failed again in California. Poor, lonely and friendless, she returned to New York in 1937, but her old admirers had for- gotten her, For the twenty years before her death, the woman who had Llazed a trail across Europe and America lived in wretched pov- erty in a bleak Mannattan base- ment. SIIALLOW REMARK One day Lefty Gomez turned around and saw Joe DiMaggio playing an excessively shllow centerfield. With Rudy York coming up, Gomez blanched and waved DiMag back. After the game, he asked Joe why he had moved in so close. "I'm supposed to make people 'Worget Tris Speaker," DiMag said ith a grin. "If you play in for guys like York, you'll make them forget Gomez," retorted Lefty.

Some day this year may be a wedding day in your family, It may be a church wedding that you are planning, or it may he a home wedding, or it may be a wedding in a garden — but whatever kind of a wedding it is, there must always be a wed- ding cake! There's something about wed- ding cakes. For years on end one hardly thinks about them and then, suddenly, when it's.time for one to be made or ordered for someone in the family, the cake assumes an importance almost equal to that of the bride's dress or bouquet. Shall it be a square one, a round one or an oval one? With what shall the cake be topped— a miniature bride and bride- groom, decorative wedding bells, sugar flowers, or a pair of alu- minum foil wedding rings? I've just been to a beautiful home wedding. It perhaps yield- ed ideas for the one you are planning. A simple wooden altar was placed in front of a fire- place and covered with white stock, carnations and lilies, writes Eleanor Richey Johnston in The Christian Science Moni- tor. The mantel behind the min. !ger was banked with ferns and white blossoms. Three-foot high candlesticks, each holding five large white candles, stood one at either side of the altar. Wide white satin ribbons from the altar to the foot of the stairs made an aisle for mem- bers of the bridal party after they descended the stairs. Guests stood on both sides. In the room next to this, a table holding the wedding cake had been placed across one cor- ner: The cake was oval, four - tiered, and decorated with sugar gardenias, the ' bride's favorite flower. It was topped by a cluster of three sugar gardenias, and each tier was decorated with them in graduated sizes. The entire cake was elevated slightly above the table, leaving space for a wreath of fragrant live gar- denias around the base. It made a beautiful picture to be re- membered always. * • '• If you want to make the cake for your own family wedding, here are directions. You will need to make the recipe twice, ,and you can bake it the day before and ice it the morning of the big day. Four -Tiered White Cake 2% cups sifted cake flour 1% cups sugar sir cup shortening 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 41/4 teaspoons double acting bak- ing powder (5/ teaspoons of regular) 1A cup milk 5 egg whites 1 teaspoon flavoring Measure first five ingredients into mixing bowl and mix thor- oughly for two minutes. Stir In baking powder. Add the ifs cup milk, egg whites, and flavoring and mix thoroughly for two minutes. Grease a 13x9x2-inch loaf pan and line bottom with heavy waxed paper or dust with flour. Pour in !miter and hake at 366°F fo* 4" , , mics. Make recipe again ;o that you have two 13x9 cakes, Then ar- range them like this: 1st layer: One 13x9 cake. 2nd layer: Cut second cake into two pieces, 7x9 and 6x9 inches. Place the 7x9 -inch piece lengthwise on the first layer. 3rd layer: Cut the 6x9 piece into two equal pieces, 6x41/2 -inches, and place one piece lengthwise on second layer. 4th layer: Cut the remaining piece of cake into two equal pieces, 3x 41/2 -inches and place one piece on top of third layer. The last piece is for the bride and bridegroom. Freeze it and wrap in aluminum foil. They can eat it on their first month's an- niversary. Fluffy Boiled Icing VA cups sugar % cup water 1 tablespoon light corn syrup % teaspoon salt 2 egg whites 1 teaspoon vanilla Cook sugar, water, salt, and corn syrup in saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar is dis- solved; cover pan and boil for about 3 minutes. Boil without stirring until a small amount forms a firm ball in cold water (242°F. -244°F.). Uncover; beat egg whites stiff. Remove syrup from heat and pour slowly over beaten egg whites, beating con- stantly. Add vanilla, Continue beating until icing is of consis- tency to spread, Use the above icing to ice be- tween slayers, on sides, and top of cake. Make this recipe twice. It is not possible to double the recipe because the icing becomes unworkable. Ornamental • Icing tri cup shortening 1/4 teaspoon salt 11/2 teaspoons vanilla The Launching OfAShip Everybody . in town followed the progress of each vessel with great interest. All knew when the keel was laid, when the frame was up, when she was veiled and planked, when she was calked, when the masts were set, when she was rigged, when the water line was drawn and the, painters were at work, To be sulro the men did the actual work, but behind the lines were the women and children, each helping directly or indi-. rectly to bring the vessel to completion, Boys tended the steam -box, girls carried their fathers' dinners to the shipyard, wives and mothers cooked and washed and sewed to feed and clothe the men who were work- ing so feverishly from sun to sun. Captains' wives and sweet- hearts anxiously awaited the day when the vessel would be finished and ready to sail, If the maiden voyage were to be a honeymoon voyage the whole town breathed one great lover's sigh. , As the day of the launching (pronounced "larnching") drew near everybody was on the qui vive. In the yard all was abustle and astir for the vessel had to be greased up the day she was to be sent down the ways. In olden times all sorts of grease, even goose grease mixed with flaxseed was sometimes used. In the writer's day rancid lard, tal- low, pogy poil, soft soap, hard soap, seal blubber and "New York launching grease" were used. Whatever it was, it had to be put on without stint and the ways had to be so very slick and slippery that when the blocks and wedges were knock- ed out the vessel would glide smoothly into the water, The launching always took place at flood tide and about noon, In those good old days anybody who wished could launch aboard. We children would climb the long 'inclined staging leading from the ground to a point opposite the vessel's rail about mids)iips, That was comparatively easy; but when we reached the narrow plank bridging the gap between the staging and the rail, although there was always a friendly hand outstretched to us, our knees trembled, our legs grew limp and our purpose faltered Only by keeping our eyes fixed on the 2 egg whites 3 cups confectioners' sugar Cream shortening, salt, vanil- la, and cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat egg whites with 2 cups sugar until stiff. Combine the two mixtures. When well mixed, place in cake decorating tube and decorate cake. To -make rosettes, use fluted attachment. Place against cake and squeeze just enough to make rosette. Place silver candy in center of each rosette. Edge each layer, using the same tube attachment, but allowing frost- ing to overlap every half inch or so. • • • If you want to serve punch at the wedding reception, here is a recipe that is easy, It uses frozen fruit juice concentrates. Wedding Punch • 3 6 -ounce cans frozen orange juice concentrate 1 6 -ounce can frozen grapefruit juice concentrate 1 quart ginger ale 2 limes Prepare concentrates accord- ing to can directions; pour into punch bowl with ginger ale. Add ice. Cut limes in very thin slices and float on punch. Thir- ty-two ifs -cup servings. } rail and mustering all the cour- age at our command could we take the final steps that put us aboard, The writer does not know which was the more thrilling: to launch aboard or to stand on the shore and 'watch the vessel glide into the water, Whether the sensation was one of sight or feeling, it was sublime!, The tense throng, the curt commands, the concerted action of the men, the frenzied knocking out of the blocks, the sudden quiver of the ship's whole frame as if the breath of life had been breathed into her, and a movement that seemed to say "when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly," and with one majestic plunge, she was in the foaming waves. Whistles blew, shouts and cheers rent the air. Proudly rid- ing the churning waters which enfolded and caressed her, she seemed like some animate thing, And, indeed, she was somethtng more than a hulk of wood and iron; for had not the thoughts and the plans, indeed the very lives of dozens of men gone into the making of her graceful frame? — From "A Town That Went to Sea," by Aubigne Leri mond Packard. Away. Up High! The earth's atmospheric veil which gives the stars their scin- tillation or twinkle•twinkle, de- lights dabblers in dreams, but has always hindered astro- nomical observations, Recently, after 22 years of frustrated star- gazing, astronomer Alfred N. Mikesell burst into the clear to become the first astonomer to behold non -twinkling stars. His observatory: A 2- by 4 -foot open air glass -fiber platform lifted 8 miles high by a helium -filled balloon and held reasonably steady in the high-altitude winds under the experienced hand of the veteran balloonist, Malcolm Ross. Bundled up in Navy cold - weather suits ("They looked like a couple of Tedrlidv bears," a launch crewman ren:arked), the two men rose slowly shortly be- fore sunset from an open iron mine near Crosby, Minn. "I'm not comfortable at heights," Mikesell, 44 -year-old father of eight, said in his understated manner, "but I had great faith in Ross as a pilot, and once night came, the work kept the mind occupied. The stars were start- ling. Jupiter looked as big as a weather balloon, It certainly wasn't like the observatory.' While Ross maneuvred to five pre -selected altitude observation points and kept on a south -south- easterly course ("We didn't want to come down in Lake Mich- igan"), Mikesell worked with his 31/2 -inch telescope with a photo - tube attached to pinpoint just where the twinkle ends. Tenta- tively he ettimates 36,000 feet. The balloon's landing just east of Dubuque, Iowa, was "text- book perfect", according to Ross. But the real high spot was watching Mikesell watching the stars, "We got an astronomer above most of the atmosphere— It was just wonderful seeing him at work there." —From Newsweek, 01,1) SPANISH CUSTOM Mrs. Carmen Rivera, of Pas- sjes de San Juan, Spain, is pretty certain that her next child — the 26th — will be n girl. So far her children have been born in strict rotation — ane year a son, the next a daughter. Of her 25 children, 13 have been boys and 12 have been girls. Mrs. Rivera, therefore, confi- dently predicts: 'Phis year it will be a girl!"

I wonder they didn't call it an "agricultural establishment"; or at least a plantation or estate, but I suppose they need shorter words for headlines. Anyway, on this vast 40 -acre farm he supplements his labora- tory activity by a well -ordered program of doing things the easy way, arriving methodically so a feature writer singles him out as a phenomenon. Yet his con- tribution is simply that he is (1) a laboratory scientist in the full up -stream surge of modern thrust and push, and (2) he operates a farm lazily. My contention is abrupt, viz: that this lazy farmer did not receive this attention because he was a lazy farmer, but because he is a laboratory scientist, and in this day and age laboratory scientists are news, whereas lazy farmers are not. This is a severe rebuke to our way of thinking, and goes to show. If somebody had wanted a really good story about a lazy farmer, without emphasis on his status in the scientific world, it could have been provided long ago and it would have been a much better story. We can only conclude that journalism has deserted certain principles, and is trying to be popular with the ascending physicists and chem- ists and mathematicians of the new era. A lazy farmer who is nothing else except.a lazy farm- er wouldn't have a chance. Yet the fact that this man in Norwich, N.Y., is a scientist first and a lazy farmer afterwards has nothing to do with the mattar. Comes to mind, for instance, Amos Dolluff over at Purgatory Mills, who never had his name in the paper until now. Amos always cut his firewood in eight• foot lengths. Most cordwood comes four feet long, so Amos thus saves himself one complete cperation per stick. This was in- telligent laziness just as good as any in Norwich. After Amos got his wood home, instead of sawing it in Move -length chunks as other people did, he permitted his In- telligent laziness to continue, and piled it in the shed so it pointed at the kitchen door. His wife could step out in the shed and get wood, bringing it in the way anybody would carry a flagpole, rind she would steer It into the aide door of the range about the way a knight of olden yore ran hys lance into ye ringe on ye string to • edify ye cheering throng. Then Mrs. Dolluff would rest the nether, or handle, end of the eight -foot stick on a chair, and as fast as her fuel was con- sumed she would move the stick and the chair nearer the stove. You could tell from the positiim of the chair how near done the beans were. But poor Amos was no laboratory researchist, was never interviewed for the press, and his numerous Instances of in- tellectual disinclination to labor were of purely local fame. This man in Norwich, N.Y., has a special hopper for his hogs, and gets his name in the paper because he fills it only once a week, proving that laziness pays off. But nobody ever did a story on Charlie Footer and his bog chute, which was born of equal aversion to effort but which had no scholarship or degrees to embellish it. Charlie cut a hole in the kit- chen sink shelf and built a chute out through the wall to the pig- pen. His wife could thus lift CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Ladder steps 6. Cold dish 11. heave 12.

It was just as good a rig as anybody ever had in Norwich. Indeed, Charlie's is a much better story, because the pig soon fathomed the source of his benefaction, and would clamber up in the chute to meet Mrs. Footer more than halfway, She would hoist the cover, and be- fore she could contribute the pig would' run his snout up into the kitchen and speak at some length about his approbation of the arrangement. Mrs. Footer would bang him on the proboscis with a skillet and he would re- treat. People who attend certain social congresses at the Footer . home, such as the' Friday Circle or the Moon Valley Extension Association, would come away discussing the Footer pig chute with some merriment, but not enough so word got out to au editor somewhere. Besides, Char- lie was not an astronomer, or anything like that. The time naturally came when cne of Charlie's pigs, just as he was big enough to get in but too big to get out, got stuck in the chute. The poor creature called attention to his prudicalnent at once, but was too well in • for Mrs. Footer to help him by lar- ruping him on the snout with a plate. For three hours she did her housework in this din. I suppose editors and laboratory scientists would not know what it is like to have an unhappy pig wedged under your sink shelf while you are ironing shirts and applying the frosting to a cake. I cannot believe that Nor- wich, N.Y., understands such things. When Charlie came up front the field he dismantled the con- traption and recovered his pig, but the, attendant poi'pine hulla- baloo was such that for three months Charlie said, "Hey?" whenever anybody spoke to him. However, there still was no story about intelligent laziness on Charile's farm. Farmers are the world's finest practitioners of research and ex- periment., They like to spare themselves. They frequently have so many labor-saving ideas they hesitate to let go. They figure things out soonest, They are past masters at "rigging a scheme." Show them a job, and each will figure out 10 ways to do it easier. Laziness is a farm- er's best asset, a boon, an urge, a drive. No other class of people has ever practiced intelligent laziness with such success and profit. But farm laziness was never news until a laboratory scientist tried it, and then the reporters came around and said "Oh" and "Ah'. This is a great injustice. —by John Gould in The Christian Science Monitor, 'We got rather tired of television' 9. Morning (ah, 10. Discuss 11. Defies 13. Ttontarry 15.

SHE SINGS; HE WRITES—Veteran trouper Judy Garland gives it her all as she winds up a song in Minneapolis during State- hood Day ceremonies, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, far right, appears to be missing Judy's song as he concentrates on notes for his speech. TIILPMM FONT Editor's Note: The following article, written by the Farm Editor of the Christian Science Monitor, refers to conditions be- low the border. But I think that a good deal of it should provide food for thought to many of us Canadians as well, * * • Most Americans agree that since we all depend on farmers to produce the food and fiber we need, we must somehow keep enough farmers in business to meet this need. • • • This general recognition of the farmer's essential status has fos- tered wide belief in two theses which possibly merit acceptance but which, considering present economic pressures on the citI- zenry, seem to call for fresh scrutiny and evaluation. Much of the political campaigning on farm issues now building toward November congressional elec- tions centers around these two theses. • • • The first is: "Farmers are en- titled to their fair share of prof- its in the nation's economy." • • • The second: "Because the fam- ily farm represents certain moral values which have contributed to America's greatness, it must, at whatever cost, preserved in its traditional entity." • • * At the risk of sounding brutal, honesty demands a second recog- nition before the theses can be evaluated — the recognition that America is struggling not only with a surplus of certain basic crops, but also with what some economists define is a surplus of farmers. The technological fact today is, that fewer farmers than ever before can produce what Americans need, and still have HAPPY JOE — An 82 -year-old widower, Josef von Suskovic of Milwaukee is a happy man— after 52 years. He plans to go ti Sweden in June to marry Mrs. Anna Applequlst, a widiw of 70. Joe wanted to marry Anna in 1906, but her father said she was too young. enough left over to supply some world needs. • • • This recognition, involving drastic changes in the agricultur- al structure, is hard to face, es- pecially for farmers who, be- cause of lack of capital or know- how, have been unable to keep up with the all-out mechaniza- tion that has taken over Ameri- can farmlands with 'incredible speed, They need help. But what will help them most? . • • • Considering the first thesis: Just exactly what is agriculture's "fair share" of the nation's prof - fits? (Think of the imponder- ables involved — such points as: Should everyone's share be the same? Or should personal effort and success be takin into ac- count? Who is to decide such fundamental questions?) If 500 ,farmers — or perhaps 100 — can today turn out as much as 1,000 could produce 30 years ago, should government subsidize the thousand just to perpetuate the way of life they are used to? + • • This leads into tht 2nd thesis, concerning the family farm which today is generally defined as a farm y'here the family makes all management decisions and does most of the work. With all the mechanical help now available, some family farms have become big operations bear- ing little resemblance to yester- day's few acres worked by a man and a mule and a plow. Many others have remained too small to prosper, and their plight does indeed cry out for aid, • • • But many people are now ask- ing: To what extent should all citizens be taxed to keep un- successful farmers on the land simply because that is where they happen to be and because Americans feel sentimental about a romanticized but some- what -out-of-date picture of "the family farm" as grandpa knew it? • We have yet to hear anyone question what would happen to the moral values usually asso- ciated with the institution known as the family farm if that insti- tution could be preserved only by the federal dole, Would it be better for the farmer and the whole nation if government should confine its role to providing disaster insur- ance and to offering something like industry's unemployment in- surance for a designated period to help struggling farmers find jobs in Industry or adjust their operations to more profitable methods? • • • It is not the purpose of this column to try to answer these big questions, nor to support or re- fute the thesis. It is meant only to" urge study of these crucial issues, which will to some extent be decided when Americans go to the polls next fall, and vote into office men who do ardently support — or refute — these now familiar premises. Heart Operation On Television "Five of our cameramen back- ed out of this because they felt too squeamish," said Milton Rob- ertson, executive producer of Du Mont Television's Station WABD, taking time out from supervising New York City's first live telecast of a heart opera- tion. "In all, we had a 25 -man technical crew spend three weeks of intensive work, reading up on heart surgery, watching color films, and attending an actual operation." Robertson fussed abstractedly at his green surgical gown, sim- ilar to those enveloping his as- sistants and the ten -man surgical team which was mending the de- fective heart of Mabel Chin, a Chinese-American girl aged 3, at the New York University - Bellevue Medical Center. The TV screen before Robertson showed him — and an estimated 2.1 million New Yorkers — the deft hands of two surgeons a6 they worked with the precision of a corps de ballet cn a pulsing, living human heart. One of the rubber -gloved hands pointed to the heart. The voice of the chief surgeon, Dr Jere W. Lord, explained: "Here is the problem. A short slender tube called the ductus arteriosus is connecting the aorta and the pulmonary artery. It should have closed at birth. It didn't." As Dr. Lord began to tie off the duct with surgical thread, Robertson said: "You know, I don't think the pubilc would be able to stand watching a color telecast of this." The unspoken corollary bothering Robertson, of course, was: Would the public be able to stand watching even a black -and -white telecast of a heart operation? "Although 250,000 Americans have had successful heart opera- tions," said a spokesman for the New York Heart Association, in explaining the association's spon- sorship of the television show,. "another 300,000 who, need oper- ations are holding off because of fear and ignorance. We feel that a live telecast will show them how safe a heart operation is." The association's faith on this score had been considerably bolstered by the recent success of two other live telecasts in Detroit and Seattle. "We hope," The New York Journal -American's TV critic, Jack O'Brian, had bristled on: the day of the telecast, "that the showing of "live" heart opera- tions on television "is not a trend". Next day, however, critic O'Brian rewarded the Heart As- sociation's faith by changing his mind: "The performance ... wu astoundingly impressive, a vast and tender visual ad for the Heart Association's stubborn progress.' —From Newsweek.

B.», A People Must Choose Joshua 11:16-20, 23; 24:14-18 Memory Selection: Put away , . the strange gods which ars among you, and incline your heart unto the Lord God of Israel, Joshua 24:23. The conquest of Canaan took place quickly. God miraculousiy stopped the flow of the Jordan when the priests bearing the ark stepped into the waters. Joshua set up twelve stones in the bed of the Jordan and on its west- ward bank as memorials. Then he renewed the rite of circum- cision. The fortress of Jericno was taken in a manner which notably demonstrated the power of God. Then came a setback at AI because of sin in the camp. Earnest prayer and punishment of t h e culprit brought God's favor again. A group of five kings led by the King of Jeru- salem met Joshua and were de- feated. Another group in the north were similarly overcome. Some mopping up operations ;ollowed. One may incline to be sorry for the Amorites. But their ini- quity was full. Genesis 15:16. We therefore bow to the justice of God. Later when the Israelites continued in their rebellion against God they were taken from this land by the Assyrians and Chaldeans. Nations, as the individuals of which they are composed, are accountable to God. Joshua's farewell appeal was an urgent religious appeal. "Choose you this day whom ye will serve . . . but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." It is refreshing when a political and national leader un- ashamedly acknowledges God and calls upon his people to serve Him. Joshua had set the right example and would con- tinue to do so. He spoke for his family, too. Happy are the par- ents who are serving the Lord. Happy are the parents who see their children following their example. In this day of world tension Ind lax morals we need sober, God-fearing leaders. We nee: men and women who will lift up a righteous standard by precept and example. God bless our leaders at ;every level of gov- ernment. KELLEY GREEN Lefty Gomez once got involved in an argument with Jim Dykes on how to pitch to a hitter with two men on base.

ANNE I4UST "Dear Anne Hirst: t have just welcomed my married daughter Into my home; she could not accept her mother-in-law's in- terference any longer, For over two years my girl has held a position and paid nearly all their household expenses to help her husband support his mother. She runs up bills in his name which their combined incomes cannot meet. "Her mother-in-law has two other married children, both of whom have lovely homes, but because this son is the youngest she demands everything from t h e m. When he married my daughter he told her their housa belonged to him; it turns out to be his mother's, and if anything happened he would have noth• Ing, Yet he and my girl have been supporting her entirety, even to her medical expenses. "My daughter loves her hus- band, but she wants to live alone with him. He declares he will never leave his mother So I told her not to go back to him while his mother lives there. I do hate to see her marriage go on the rocks, yet what other advice can I offer? WORRIED MOTHER" Your girl has my sympathy. • Cross -Stitch Pets kaA.

If her husband were a man instead of his mother's little boy, he would admit he is not providing a home for his wife in the real sense of the word. She is under his mother's thumb in more than one way, and she has none of the rights which, as his wife, she merits. She and her husband can- not get ahead financially un- der the strain his mother im- poses, not to mention her con- stant interference. Things can only go from bad to worse, unless he decides that his wife is more important to hire than his mother. (Incidentally, he should also insist that the other children snare their mother's living expenses no matter what arrangements are made for the future.) Wouldn't it be better for your daughter and her hus- band to find a small apartment for themselves? It could be nearby, so he can visit his mother regularly. That would give your daughter a real home, and relieve her of the older woman's Impositions. It does seem up to her hus- band to choose between his mother and his wife, and a cruel choice it is for any man. But if his love for his wife is equal to hers for him, there is no question where his loy- alty belongs. 4 4 4 WOULD DATE BOY "Dear Anne Hirst: I like a boy very much who is in my English class. What excuse can I use to talk to him, and yet not appear too forward or too dumb? "Last year about this time he asked for a date, but I was going steady with somebody else so I couldn't accept. Now I'd give anything to go with him! STILL HOPING" * . Some day soon mention to :•* the lad that English is one of your toughest subjects, and * -you wonder if he would help ' you now and then? Choose a few timely questions, and * maybe he will feel flattered • to swallow the bait. * Yes, the girl usually speaks 4 first when they pass in the * hall. Good luck! * * * Many of the problems that marriage brings would never arise if wife and husband could live alone together.

HRONICLES 1NGERFARM Gwendolirie P. C1axke At last we've had some rain — a good, warm rain. Now everything looks so green. New- ly planted shrubs, trees and garden plants have lost their sad, wilted appearance, Dis- couraged green peas and beets are showing more signs aI life and we hope other garden stuff will soon be coming through. Field crops, too, will benefit from the rain — spring grain certainly needed a good soaking, as did the wheat and forage crops. Partner and I find it hard to remember any year when the spring has been so dry. How- ever, even weather conditions don't seem quite so important compared with a situation we ran into last week. You may remember I was at Guelph — to a W.I. Conference. Partner came with me as far as Hespeler where he visited some friends living on a farm. So he was back again with ,the cows, -the hens, and all the incidental farrn chores. Also plenty of children. Now just read what had happened. Besides the regu- lar family on the farm there was a married daughter, her husband and four small children. They had arrived one night about ten o'clock. No clothes, no furniture, no personal pos- sessions. All had been lost in a fire that completely gutted their home — the far side of Strat- ford. Contents were only partly covered by insurance. They lost a new deep home -freezer, elec- tric stove, refrigerator and tele- vision set. Bad enough, but it could have been worse. The children were playing outside when the biggest boy noticed a bright light inside the house and ran in to Iook for the reason, He soon found out and began screaming for his mother who was down in the cellar unaware of the tragedy. Had the child not gone in she would have been trapped as there was no exit from the cellar other than through the kitchen which was soon a mass of flames. The cause of the fire was thought to be defective wiring. It is a familiar story—old house, original wiring, meant only for lighting purposes and minor equipment. Added to the home one by one were the heavy home appliances now in use in most homes. The wiring became overloaded and in time over- heated, An outbreak of fire was the inevitable result. Later in the week we called briefly on some former neighbours near Ginger Farm who had recently installed similar new equipment but had taken the precaution of having their wiring inspected. The over -hauling and additions cost them well over two hun- dred dollars hut that was cer- tainly cheaper and saver than risking a fire. We made a quick visit to Ginger Farm that same day. Such changes — we hardly knew the place. Grading was well underway; bulldozers and dump trucks continually at work. By the time 1 came away 1 felt as if 1 had eaten dust and grit. Prom the garden we managed to salvage a root of double lilac `which 1 had always greatly treasured. AM.;o some common lilac which had probably been there since the farm was home- steaded. After vis' ing the farm we always come • way with a slight feeling of no:. ,Igin, which, I suppose, is un.: rstandable. However, home is "here you make It and every tu.,e we re• turn to where we are now we find it bginning to look Ind feel more like our true hone. —' es- pecially now with everything so green and the birds flitting back and forth. This week -end we did not 'expect any of the family here Bob, Joy and Ross had gone to Elliott Lake for the week- end; Daught�ter and her family were off to'Niidland for the day so we took a ramble through the country along the back conces- sions. On one road in Trafalgar Township we saw a sign which read — "Dog Cemetery around the Corner." That, of course, had to be investigated. We found the cemetery and there must have been four or five hundred little graves, complete with in- scribed tombstones — some big, some small. Not all were dog - graves. There were a number of cats, two rabbits and a mon- key. Several dogs had been 18 years old and some of the tomb- stones told their own pathetic little story. As for instance "In memory of Trixie and Rex 'who were killed by an unknown motorist." And two German shepherds "who died defending their master's property during:. a robbery." And one of a "see:: ing-eye" dog greatly missed by' his master. There were quite i number of new graves, minus tombstones, but with wreaths of flowers in loving memory. I suppose the idea of a Pet Cemetery . sounds somewhat ex- treme to materialistic people but there is little doubt the loss of a faithful pet can be a great grief to the owner and perhaps to have its grave mark- ed and cared for is some con- solation. I know we left several dog and cat graves at Ginger Farm. Poor, high-strung Tippy was the last, our faithful old collie who finally died of pneu- monia; wagging her tail feebly right to the very last in recog- nition of our loving care. Rusty, I am glad to say, is still alive and well. I paid him a visit last week. We do not forget the dogs we couldn't keep, Coronation Dress Such splendor I' had never seen before and may never see again. The Abbey is wearing Coronation draperies of blue brocade. Along its aisle spreads a seamless carpet of cerulean blue, changing at the Theatre's steps to a warm shade of pale honey, Clustered lights hang low at triforium level shedding a dulcet glow, The clamour of color in dress and uniform Is already here, and from my priv- /leged seat in the Queen's Box I can see every happening and every arrival, Soon I shall be seeing the dress I have made, being worn by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second for her Crowning. My mind goes back to the dim and uncertain days of 30 years ago when, on St. George's Day, the 23rd April in 1923, I resolved to establish myself in London. In June of that year I designed my first dress for my first humble customer. I 'think of those years of struggle and disappointment and I remember the three pounds a week I used to earn and how I lost that job one Christmas Eve; and I wonder irrelevantly if the Number 16 omnibus still rumbles up the Edgware Road, 1 think, too, of all the kindnes; 1 have known and of all the women and craftsmen who have worked to prepare the dress th. Queen is now wearing I think of the long road be, hind me, leading up to this honor and bringing me to Westminster Abbey, What I suflered, learn ed and enjoyed on the way, Is the story 1 presently tell. —From "Silver and Gold", by '.Norman Hartnell. ISSUE 23 — 1958 • "Fair Lady" Goes Big in England London Bridge could have been falling down last week and no fair lady would have noticed. The really big noise in town was the opening at the Theater Royal, Drury Lane. "No show can possibly live up to the advance raves of 'My Fair Lady'," wrote The Daily Herald critic next morning, He then went on to paraphrase a lyric from the show: "But by George, they did it, Yes, they did it!" Fellow critics were al. most unanimous in their salutes: "Rousing", "lilting", "exhilarat • ing", "glittering". The sidewalk watchers massed outside the theater an hour before curtain time to star -gaze at the attend- ing celebrities, among them Ingrid Bergman, Sarah Church- ill, Kay Kendall, and U.S. Am- bassador John Hay Whitney, Applause exploded the mom- ent the curtain rose and rolled again and again for the entrances of Julie Andrews, Rex Harrison, Stanley Holloway, and Robert Coote — all of the original Broadway company, At the end the audience stood and cheered for four minutes and ten curtain calls. Only the orchestra's "God Save the Queen" could and did finally stop them, This was the most impressive musical to hit town since "Chu - Chin -Chow" in 1918, and London had never seen such an advance build-up. Despite the protection of copyright laws that forbade the playing of the show, tunes and the sale of sheet music and records, "I Could Have: Danced All Night" and "On theStreet Where You Live" were almost staples for dance bands at priv- ate parties and in clubs. Com- mercially bootlegged show al- bums sold readily for $11.20 (as opposed to a legal $3.85 in the U.S.). The press had long been ec- static. After all, though the show was an American production, everybody felt it was Britons who made the thing go—Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews, Cecil Beaton, Stanley Holloway, Rob- ert Coote. The press was also full of "Fair Lady" odds and ends. Was it right for Eliza Doo- little to step out of character to belt out the bellicose "Show 'Me" song? Can one really see St. Paul's from Covent Garden, as the show suggests? (Answer: Yes, from the roof.) An actress named Frances Day reported to a gossip columnist that she had got in touch with George Bern- ard Shaw's ghost, and he had been very announced with the whole project. Everybody read that the London version would have a blgger chorus than the New York production, and Cecil Beaton's costumes would not only be present in greater profusion but with considerably wilder chic, The advance publicity had not been all good. Stanley Hollo- way, who plays Eliza's father, had something to say about Rex Harrison: "Two years we worx- cd together and never once did he visit my dressing room , Of course, he's such a hit in the show because he's really playing himself — an intolerant, slightly bounderisli character with tre- mendous charm for women."' Harrison commented "1 think he was misquoted. I saw him yes- terday and he was awfully mis- erable about it all," 'As a result of all the publicity, good and bad, the advance ticket sale, which began six months ago, soared beyond $400,000, Price for a bootlegged first -night pair $140. It was sad that Shaw, who had such a great personal ad- miration for money, could not be on hand to use some of the new stuff himself. From the looks of it, he would be whirl- ing enviously in his grave for a long time to come. --From NEW SWEEK. HANKIE PANKIE Lefty Gomez once set a snare for Hank Greenberg. When he got two strikes on Hank, Bill Dickey was to step out of the catcher's box as if Gomez were going to throw a pitch -out, Then, as Hank relaxed, Dickey was to jump back and Gomez was to fire one over the plate for the third strike. At this point, somebody will always ask, "Well, how did it work out?" "I don't know," Gomez will ruefully answer. "I could never get two strikes on the guy!"

Loose Screw Nails Customs Smuggler A stocky, rather paunchy man approached the Customs' desk at a busy port on the English south coast, He seemed out of breath, "That's the worst of these Continental holidays," he wheez- ed. "Us big fellows are , just about exhausted after all that touring," He mopped his face with his handkerchief, then heaved his suitcase onto the desk, "Here you are," he chuckled. "Do your worst on that," The Customs man looked at his genial customer, "Would you mind stepping this way, sir?" he asked. "What for," demanded the limn, all trace of his previous bonhomie disappearing, "I haven't done anything." He was taken to a shall room at the rear of the Customs hall. There he was searched. He stood, guilty and angry -looking, as a belt of wrist watches and jewel- lery was removed from around his waist. It was revealed he had been carrying no less than $0,000 worth of smuggled goods on him. Only the officer's sharp eye had prevented him getting away with it, Iiundreds like him are caught every year, Over $1,800,000 has been taken in goods confiscated and sold by the Customs ` and Excise in the past two years. $200,000 in currency has been .apprehended in the same time, Many respectable and other- wise law-abiding citizens seem to regard the Customs as fair game, It has been estimated that no less than one in three people coming into Great Britain try to smuggle something through—if only for the fact that they can boast to their friends in the pub of their achievement. Few of them get away with It. If they do it once they are caught the second time. The "hail -fellow -well -met" and the "I -couldn't -care -less" type are all well known to Customs men, They are trained to spot almost in one glance the too -ready smile and shifty eyes of the amateur smuggler. One seemingly respectable business man was caught while conversing with an official be- cause he kept nervously finger- ing his collar and tie, A normal gesture, you would think, But the official was curious. He asked to see the tie. In the lining, :oiled into tight wads, be found a strip of five pound notes, There were more in the shirt. "I only did it for fun," plead- ed the man, His "fun" cost him his job as an accountant. Most of the small-time smug- glers aren't worried whether they are caught or not. They cheerfully say good-bye to the article and pay three times its duty value. It's the professional who keeps the Customs on their toes, A constant state of war exists between them with each side trying to outwit the other. A big closed car came up in front of officials at a south coast depot recently. With its well - upholstered interior and its gen- eral air of smartness, it looked as though it was the pride and joy of some car enthusiast. The Customs men went to work, The arm -rests were taken out—underneath were hundreds of Swiss watches. The same went for the seats and dashboard. One thousand pounds' worth of currency was found in the lining of the tires and inner tubes. Soldered under the chassis, officials found hun- dreds more watches. By the time the search was over the car looked as though 70L FIGURES IN THOUSANDS 1 600 TOTAL, FIRST QUARTER 2,340 a bomb had dropped on it—torn upholstery and twisted metal lay everywhere. But it had yielded, thousands of pounds' worth of smuggled goods, All types seem to like trying their luck against the Customs. When a homely -looking, grey haired woman made her way to the bench at one busy airport, officials scarcely gave her a sec- ond glance. She looked just like another careworn mother re- turning from her first holiday for some time, Casually, site was asked the routine questions, and the offi- cer began to chalk her case, Sud- denly he jagged his finger on something sharp. He ran his fingers quickly along the seams of the case and felt a loose screw. He gave it a jerk and the lin- ing of the case fell away, Tacked to the hardboard interior he found nearly $3,000 in notes! At London Airport recently one of the passengers from e newly arrived flight made his way with slow, measured treads to the Customs. He was a big man and his precise steps looked rather unusual. He was asked to remove his shoes. He protested and said he was having special treatment for his feet—that walking slow - ]y was the only way he could get relief, He even produced a medical certificate to prove it. But the Customs man vbas ada- mant. In the specially designed heels were found several valuable gold watches. He had trouble with his feet all right—several hundred pounds' worth! The Customs and Excise are often at work as a suspect steps oil his 'plane or boat. Some weeks ago a well dress- ed, elegant looking man tripped confidently down the landing stage of a 'plane just arrived from Brussels. He adjusted his hat, patted his overcoat and made his way to the Customs. There, to his apparent bewil- derment, his overcoat and hat were taken from hirn and searched, Woven into the linings were found hundreds of pounds of English currency. How had he been spotted? A Customs man with a pair of bi- noculars had been on the roof of the airport reception centre and had seen him give that re- assuring pat to his coat, Probably one of the most un- usual cases yet heard of was the Continental clergyman re- cently allowed to proceed un- searched through the Customs. With his clerical collar and gen- eral air of innocence he looked the last person on earth to be a smuggler. But he was suspected, and several days later was appre- hended. His car was searched. He was found to be carrying thousands of pounds' worth of smuggled goods under the seats. He was one of the dupes used by a well known smuggling gang but, he declared, he hadn't known a thing of what had been going on! THE FROZEN LIMIT In sub -zero weather firemen of Charlston brought their en- gine to a halt at the home of Arthur Williams, They found the man snugly tucked up in bed, To the surprised firemen he explained that it was too cold to get up, even for a fire, "I knew you boys would be here in a few minutes." It transpired that a stove had set a wall ablaze and a neigh- bour had summoned the fire brigade. Estimated damage was 14, 1957 I I TOTAL, 1957 6,117 500 ...., 400 300 • TOTAL, FIRST QUARTER 1,555 200 1 100 '0 .1 F MA M 1,i iNIA New I hart A S: 0 N D AUTO OUTPUT — lines on graph above show United States pas- senger automobile output for 1958's first quarter and for the year 1957, The downtrend which started In November, 1957, continued through December and January 1958 and from then on, at an accelerated pace.

Send Messages By The Spirits A noble of the veiled Tuareg tribe in the Sahara discovered that his wife was having a love affair with another, and- went out to find him. Both wers on camels when they met. They drew swords and charged each other. The husband's sword stiuck the other on the shoulder, pass- ed through his body, through the saddle, and far enough into the camel to kill it! Robert Christopher, who has stayed with the Tuaregs, says it would seem impossible that either man or sword could be strong enough to accomplish such a feat, but it is true, and reveals how they have retained their old training in strength and skill with arms. There was no trial, for he was avenging his honour, sacred to a Tuareg noble. The erring wife, banished from the tribe, had only two alternatives—to kill herself or go on the streets of a town. That is one reason why Tuareg infidelity is extremely rare. Christopher found that the Tuaregs are highly superstitious. A woman who wants to know when her husband or lover will return from a long journey need only go to the nearest graveyard when the moon is full, lie on a relative's grave, put her ear to the stones, and the relative's spirit will give her the esti- mated time of arrival. In a Iand with very poor pos- tal services and no telephones, Christopher says, this serves a useful purpose. "There is no doubt that it works and any Tuareg will tell you that they have been doing it successfully for hundreds of years," he writes in a vivid account of his Saharan travels: "Ocean of Fire." Once, sitting round the camp fire, he began poking at the coals with a stick. Conversation at once stopped,. the man across the fire stared at him as if he'd suddenly turned into a monster, another on his right knocked the stick 'out of his hands—because they believe that poking a fire stops the camels from giving milk! Many times, while he travel- led in caravan, the party made WILL PROSECUTE — Lebanon's Premier Sami EI Solh says the government will prosecute leaders of the Lebanese upris- ing once law and order have been restored. Solh, speaking in Beirut, said there would be no compromise with opposition forces who have kept the coun- try in a turmoil recently. wide detours around a grave so as not to disturb the dead, be- lieving that if they did so the spirit would most certainly join the caravan. Shaving before noon invites disaster. Carrying a lighted stick from one fire to another 'wakes the wild desert creatures and invites them to bring death into your camp. Should you squirt the milk directly into your mouth while milking a camel it will stop giving milk. Prof. Claude Blanguernon, a teacher and scholar who has lived eight years in the desert, took Christopher to see the bat- tleground near the village of Tit where the Tuareg army made its last heroic stand against the French, and the warriors lie buried under piles of rocks, in- stead of being interred. They stopped by one ofthese rock piles, and Claude suggested that they remove some of the rocks in order to see the skeleton and the equipment he had been car- rying. At once a small bird be- gan flying overhead. "How amazing," said Claude. "That bird shouldn't be here, for they don't come to this area un- til spring!" In his eight years it was the first he'd ever seen out of sea- son. When they resumed pick- ing up stones the bird flew around their heads as if intend- ing to attack them; it was ob- viously trying to keep them from the grave. They walked a few feet away and it circled them. They returned to the grave, and it came down at them again. When they replaced the stones and mounted their camels, it vanished. Christopher thought it had a nest hidden among the rocks, but Claude said: "That's impos- sible. It's months before the nesting season. They don't make their nest on the ground, any- way. Let's take a look and make sure, but"—raising his voice—"we will not disturb the grave." They searched carefully among the rocks but found no sign of a nest—nor of the bird again. It was a disquieting, un- canny experience, like many in this first-hand record of the day-to-day life al a strange people. High Drama In Our Courts One of the oldest of our legal institutions is still working sat- isfactorily — the jury system. Twelve good men and true — and.this includes women — are chosen to hear a case against a fellow -citizen, and decide on the evidence whether, as a mat- ter of fact, he has done some- thing wrong. The judge does not decide matters of fact, he is concerned with questions of law. The jury must decide, and if they have a doubt, the accused 'must have the benefit of it. Eminent law- yers have said that, in their ex- perience, a jury is very seldom wrong. Of course, there are moments of high drama in trials where a man's life is at stake. Edgar Wallace once said that in mur- der cases he could always tell whether they were going to say "Guilty." if, as they filed in, none of them looked at the prisoner. It was high drama, indeed, in an English court some years ago when the jury had found, a man guilty. In measured terms the judge sentenced hint to death, and immdiately after sentence CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AGENTS WANTED 00 INTO BUSINSSS for yourself, Sell our exciting house. rGree, watches and other products not ound in stores, Np competition, Prof. is up to 600%, Write now for free flour catalogue and separate conn.

He pointed to one of three defendants in court, "and he is charged with murdering her!" But even juries have their lighter moments, and some of their verdicts are comic.
