I could have written it myself, for I've been in the writer's shoes for nearly a year —only my shoes hurt even more than hers do. I should have foreseen the problem, because my husband's family informed me about the rules they were using to bring up his five-year- eld son, and said frankly they expected me to follow them . "The boy was dreadfully spoil. - ed, but they seem proud of their system; even when he became so obstinate there was no man- aging him, they never acknow .- edged their responsibility From the first I liked the child and thought I had won his affection; nut he has used all the shabby little tricks to defeat my disci- pline, and even boasted about what he got away with. "It is heartbreaking to stand by and see the life and soul of a child twisted into wrong- doing, especially deceit. If these people had his good at heart they would let us alone now, for only that way can I make anything decent of him. "My husband thinks his fam- ily is wonderful, and takes their part. I shudder to think of the consequences if they don't stop their interfering; his father will not look ahead and see the grim picture that I'm afraid awaits Lim. 1 love my husband, and I would save him from the re- morse he must surely feel later on.

CIiINESE CUSTOM To denounce is one of the most important duties of the brave new Chinese. Children denounce their parents, em- ployee their bosses. In a village in Kwangtung Province, travel- ers allege, an old woman gave :he remains of her bowl of rice to her cat. One of the neigh - hors came up to her and said: "I saw you give rice to your cat, I have to denounce you to the police because if someone else saw you, too, he will not only denounce you but me, too, for not denouncing you " A clever young woman was asked to attend a public function. She was given a place between a bishop and a rabbi, It was her chance to break into high com- pany, and she meant to use it. "I feel as if 1 were a leaf be- tween the Old and New 'Testa- ments," she said with a giggle. "That page, madam," replied the rabbi, "is usually a blank."

PRINCE TO MARRY COMMONER — Asia's biggest mar tal guessing game ended Nov. 27, when a future bride was named for Japan's Crown Prince Akihito, 25, (shown above with Michiko Shoda, 24). The Prince's bride-to-be was found to be Miss Shoda, a commoner who was chosen by the Prince over stiff objections from some members of the Im- perial family. Miss Shoda, daughter of a Tokyo flour com- pany executive, will be the first commoner to reign as Empress of Japan In the 25 centuries of its history. Real November weather has - finally arrived. It's a white world outside with lots of snow swirling past the windows. We could hardly believe it when we woke up this morning. Glad it didn't come last week as we had quite a busy week - if you can call being on the go a busy time. It started with a long- distance call Monday night .. friends wanting to visit the Royal Winter Fair — could the; stay overnight and would we go svith them to the night per- formance. Well, they came and Partner went but I stayed home, 1 was just afraid they wouldn't get tickets and I didn't fancy being on my feet all night. But they did manage to get seats — at a price — the only ones avail- able. The other two enjoyed Arthur Godfrey but Partner wasn't too impressed — said he made a better showing on tele- vision. Next morning our friends wanted to do some Christmas shopping so I took them over to Dixie, Why anyone near Guelph should want to shop anywhere else I don't know. I always think Guelph has plenty to offer at moderate prices — except parking: However, 1 sup- pose it's a case of distant fields, Thursday I took oft on the bus — main reason was to help Dee take the three boys to the Fair. They are all crazy about animals but it looked like quite an undertaking for Dee alone, and Art couldn't get away in the daytime. We had quite a good time, going here and there, look- ing at whatever we thought the boys would enjoy, They didn't miss a trick. Even Jerry took it all in from the safety of his go- cart. They were thrilled with the horses, cows, sheep, chickens and bunnies, but the big pigs Eddie didn't like at all. When they squealed and grunted he clung to. his mother and hid his !ace. The farm machinery was quite a thrill. The boys "drove" big tractors side by side, ju.tt like Grandpa's, said Dave. One time Dave was roaming farthL.r afield and we didn't want Eddie to follow so we put him in one of the manure spreaders. It made a good play -pen until he discovered how to work the paddies. About six o'clock we called a cab and were soon home with three tired but excited little boys who had plenty to tell Duddy as soon as he open- ed the door. Ah yes, and here is something else I mustn't forget. We were watching a sow with her litter of pigs busily getting their sup- per. Standing next to us was a man and his wife, obviously taking a special interest in the pigs . .. why not, they had four hundred at home. Somehow we got into conversation and al. though they live many miles from here 1 found that Mrs. H— is a reader of this column. Small world, isn't 1t? I find it .quite a thrill running into someone by accident like that who has been following this column from week to week, be it good or bad. The more readers I know the more impetus it gives me. And I -hope it is more interesting to those who read to find this columnist a real creature of flesh and blood. Perhaps a little too much in the flesh and a little too thin in the blood. But that's the way it goes. Saturday 1 was taking care of e, neighbor's house for a few hours while the family went to Malton to meet the lady's mother due to arrive that morning from Yugoslavia. They hadn't seen her since they left Europe eight years ago. It must have given them all "a wonderful thrill. After they got back I was all prepared to leave but nothing would do but 1 must share in the family feast and rejoicing. There were two other friends there as well. So I sat down to a meal Yugoslavian style — homemade noodle soup, roast turkey, cabbage rolls in saur- kraut, potatoes a n d gravy. Strudel cake, some kind of savoury rolls which contained fried leeks, and a "Welcome H o m e" fruit - flavored cake, SALLY'S SAES EYERYTNIN4 SUMDALS SODAS � D "A penicillin' sundae, please. I'm catching cold." topped with a very unusual jelly, And of course there was a special brand of imported wiv+i which everyone seemed to enjoy except me, I thought I would as soon take quinine. After helping with the dishes 1 went home and the weary traveller was sent to lie down. She is unable to speak a word of English but announced her In- tention of learning — and soon. That shows a good spirit. But there will also- be plenty el other adjustments for her to make. 1 noticed she was wearing, long - sleeved underwear and wool -felt boots, Considering the difference in living conditions of our two continents we need lots of patience and forbearance in dealing with our new Cana- dians We shouldn't expect them to change overnight and accent our way of living without a struggle — especially when they have reached the point' of no return, This woman is exactly the same age as myself but I noticed that while f look older she appears much older in her ways. And that fact alone will make it more difficult for her to adjust. Bride is Centre Of Tug o' War By spending more than three years travelling thousands of miles back and forth across the Arctic with a score of note- books, a Canadian professor has invented a new language. It is made up of twenty-four Eskimo dialects which he has cleverly welded together so that Canada's Eskimos, for the first time in their history, may have a common language—a kind of Arctic. Esperanto which they can learn easily. Why do they need this new language? Because, says the professor, Dr. Giles Le- Fabvre of Montreal University, although civilization is now striding rapidly into Canada's wild northland, there is still great confusion in trying to teach illiterate Eskimos to read and write. These Eeskinios still cling to their age-old socal customs. The sexes are absolutely equal. Mar - rages are perfectly free and usually regarded as business partnerships. Some nen have more than one wife and some intellectual women possess more than one husband. There is little or no sentiment and kissing is unknown. If a couple cannot live together amicably, they just separate. Even to -day an Eskimo occa- sionally secures his wife by force, not by a playful tap on the head, but by good-natured fun and in open competition. Clad in her finery, the woman stands in the centre of a ring. Each suitor takes a firm grip on her garment and at a given signal there is a grand tug o'war. The young Eskimo who suc- ceeds in tearing the woman away from his rivals is allowed to carry her off and she be- comes his recognized wife, This is still considered quite a legi- timate way of obtaining a par- tner. After an Eskimo marriage there is no honeymoon; the young couple simple set up their home among their own tribe. In the igloo, In Winter, husband and wife usually sleep in one large sleeping bag made of cari- bou skins. The orderly officer was going his rounds at breakfast and stopped at one table with the usual inquiry, "Any com- plaints?" One man jumped to his feet and said: "Yes, sir, this tea tastes of chloride of lime" The office, took the mug, miffed the contents, then sipped delicately. "Nonsense," he said, "that's carbolic."

On the basis .of :scent cruises, oceanographers now estimate that a fantastic hundreds of bil- lions of tons of the nodules averaging 20 per cent mangan- ese litter 90 million square miles of ocean bottom. For the U.S., which has almost no do- mestic manganese ore of com- mercial grade, and is short on copper, cobalt and nickel (all of which the nodules contain), the prospect of mining the nodules • from the sea is an enticing one. For deep -water mining mis- sions engineers envisage a num- ber of highly specialized craf! prowling the ocean floor. Among them might be remote- controlled trawler units, sub- merging, scraping up nodules, and surfacing; manned bathy- scaphes raking the bottom; huge submarines pumping nodules into storage chambers, More immediately, two University of California scientists explained last week how the noclule3 might be alined using existing hardware, Dr. Herber t E. Hawkes and John Mero of Cali- fornia's Institute of Marine Re - !torches think it can be done economically with drag dredges, simple scoops pulled across the ocean bottom. Although this would be 'the simplest scheme, they favor a more sophisticated method, hydraulic dredging, Present hydraulic dredges, which suck up objects like a vacuum cleaner and pump them to the surface can lift granite boulders up to 18 inches in dia- meter, E3ut because the pump and motor which operate them are at the surface and subject CURTAIN CALL — Though he appears to be trying to scratch a hard -to -reach -place, this penguin is really attempting a grace- ful bow after a clever water performance at a London zoo. He's apparently left his grace in the pool. to atmospheric pressure, they can only pump the nodules from a few hundred feet down. To in- crease the depth at which they operate, Hawkes and Mero pro- pose putting the dredge pump and motor on or near the bot- tom, permitting the pump to cperate at any depth. While this hind of a rig has never been assembled, all the necessary parts are currently available, .»eluding a fan-shnped suction bead to ingest the nodules, and an underwater TV eye to scan for best lodes. Once above water the nodules can be refined by techniques now used on low- grade manganese ore Her Majesty's Mail Goes Automatically by Torn A, Cullen NEA Staff Correspondent Southampton, England — Hav- ing fathered the post office in 1657 and given the world its first gummed postage stamp in 1840, Britain now leads the world in postal automation, with the robot postman just around the corner. Actually, the machine has yet to be invented that can walk up a garden path to deliver a let- ter, but General Post Office en- tneers are working on the prob- em, At Dollis Hill outside London, where the Post Office has its ex- perimental laboratories, the talk is all of helicopters, rockets and guided missiles to carry Her Ma- jesty's mail. As far back as 1934 a Ger- man enthusiast experimented here with mail -carrying rockets. and Ernest Marples, the present Postmaster General, claims that the idea cannot be dismissed lightly. Marples goes on to pre- dict that the day is not far dis- tant when a letter posed in Lon- don at 8 a.m. will be tlellvered by rocket in Aberdeen, Scotland, at 11 a.m, Meanwhile in Southampton, the port of call of the big trans- Atlantic liners, the latest in automated postal equipment is on view for the world to goggle at. In the past year postal repre- sentatives _of 28 countries have worn a path to the door of the Southampton post ' ofllce,where the machinery is being tested, In order to view the latest en- gineering marvels, Showpiece at Southampton Is Alf (short for Automatic Letter Facer) a three -ton giant, six feet tall and 20 feet long, Alf stacks letters, scans then front and back for stamps, faces them, counts them, then cancels their stamps. He does everything but steam open their envelopes and read them, But if Britain Is counting on Alf to spare the postman his fal- len arches, I would say that the postman. flat feet and all, will be with us for many years to come, For Alf is high-strung and temperamental, "Alfie hates squares," the Southampton foreman confided to me, in explaining the ma- chine's operation. I turned, half expecting to find the 20 -foot le- viathan twitching to the rhythms of rock-'n'-roll. But no — the "squares" that Alfie hates are square envelopes, These flummox the monster which is trained to grope fol.' the long edge of letters in order to face them with the stamps in the same corner. The Post Office now has a plan to standardize envelopes( there are 07 different sizes in current use). And not only squares, but Alfie hates color postcards, Inasmuch as Alfie's photo -electric eyes are highly sensitive to color, using this means to identify stamps, he goes quietly mad when a color postcard is placed in his hopper. Nor can dummy mail be used to test machines like Alfie, "New mail is lively, while the dummy Encouraged by recent oceano- graphic probes which uncovered abundant' nodule deposits in both the Atlantic and the Pacific, they feel the U.S. could be sup- plied "for many hundreds of years into the future with these metals extracted from deep-sea nodules," — From NEWSWEEK, An Indian in New Mexico was smoke -signalling love messages to his Indian girl friend a few miles away. S udden, a test nu- clear explosion went off, cover- ing the sky with smoke for miles. "Gee," said the Indian, "I wish I'd said that." stuff. is dead," the foreman ex- plained. "When you conlpress the air out of letters they become lifeless, and the machines don't get the proper feel of them," When Alfie was first unveiled, he was unable to distinguish be- tween the two -penny stamp on newspapers and other printed matter and the three -penny stamp of ordinary mail, but this difficulty has since been over- come, Post Office engineer's experi- mented for nearly two year's be- fore they hit upon a method of giving the two -penny stamp a special distinguishing character- istic. The solution filially arrived at was to print on the back of the two -penny stamp a graphited line, which is easily detected by a high voltage scanner, Nowhere else in the world but in Southampton, where Alfre is being tested, are graphited stamps on sale to the public, Electronic sorters are also in operation in Southampton, 'These enable a postman, sitting at a keyboard, to sort letters twice as fast as by hand and to break them down to three times as many selections. Forty-eight is Up limit of the pigeon -holes a postman can reach conveniently by hand, whereas the machine sorts to 144 selections. The next step will be Ye Corn - pleat Robot Sorter which will read the adds eyes on envelopes, then sort the letters automatical- ly. This will involve coded ad- dresses, and the Post Office is now taking a poll to determine how far the public is willing to cooperate in the use of postal codes.

These Teen•agel•s Try To Help Three years ago a group of young Pasadenans started an organization called Ala -teens, a sort of junior Alcoholics Anony mous, which is spreading with great rapidity, Banded together for mutual help in coping with the problem of alcoholism in their homes, they meet weekly, study the disease of alcoholism, how best they can help under- stand their 111 parent and be- come reconciled to the confu- sion and tension in their homes. Their program is founded on the basic principles of Alco- holics Anonymous, but has a number of adaptations to suit their circumstances. A number of AA members as well as mem- bers of Alanon (an affiliated family group), have given aid and advice to these youngster's, Lut make no attempt to govern them. Weekly meetings are held with group participation, cover- ing typical situations in their lives — dealing with a drunken parent, shame at bringing friends home, disruption of their home studies, obeying unreasonable demands, meals unprepared, and numerous problems which the disease of 'alcoholism has caused in their homes, and which they must meet . and resolve. Another phase of the meeting is the open discussion of a member's own particular difficulty in ad- justment to society, Some of these youths are quite !malad- justed, some have been in r'a- Hier serious trouble, but all are helping each other to face facts and reality. There are now 10 oi' more Ala - teen groups in Southern Cali- fornia with increasing member- ship. The groups are meeting with remarkable success through this program founded on love of neighbour, spirituality and anonymity. In these groups, there is the .. , assurance of anonymity and the participation in a group which understands their feats and tensions and talks in a lan- guage they understand. With this mutual help they achieve an outlook which gives them a certain security and serenity otherwise difficult to attain, They come to a ' better under- standing of the problems of the alcoholic parent and can help hive or her in combating the disease, The likelihood that thesa young people will become de- linquents is greatly lessened, as are the alcoholic tendencies growing out of self-pity and aha feeling that they are misunder- stood, Their increase in spiritual values cannot he minimized in importance, Home and family life become more tolerable un- der the Ala -teen way of life. — - California's Health (State De- partment of Public Health). Red Sox Will Mks Jimmy The trading of Jimmy Piersali by the Red Sox to the Cleveland Indians for first baseman Vic Wertz and outfielder Gary Gie- ger has left New England's baseball fandom with a lump in its throat, for Jimmy was one of the most popular boys ever to wear a Boston uniform, Though seldom a batting key in the Red Sox story, Piersall's fielding aroused countless thrills at Fenway Park, At times it was beyond the spectacular. II. was remarkable. Such experienced judges as Casey Stengel and Tris Speaker have called Jimmy tmc of the finest fielders in American League history. Only those close to the Red Sox in recent years could fully appreciate the magnitude Jf Piersall's comeback from a men- tal illness. It was one of the great all-time stories of profes- sional sports, a warm, far-reach- ing story of the uphill struggle of a young man who simply re- fused to accept what others had said was certain defeat. Jimmy, with his brilliant glove and endless hustle, has left the Red Sox, But the memories he leaves are among the most vivid in Fenway history. How Can 1?

Business 41 Ontario Department of Transport announces your OI\T SYSTE Effective February 1, 1959 to make Ontario's streets and highways safer The Point System is designed to protect pedestrians and the millions of careful motorists from the small minority of negligent drivers who abuse the privilege of operating a motor vehicle. Protects good drivers—corrects bad drivers. The good drivers will be safer than ever before, Forgetful motorists will be encouraged to improve their driving habits. Proof of the effectiveness of the Point System in reducing accidents is provided by its success in other provinces and in the United States. 11 is designed to save lives --including yours. How the POINT SYSTEM works Points will be addod to the driving record of motorists upon conviction for offences as listed below. 12 points within a 2 -year period will bring licence suspension for 3 months. An additional 12 point accumulation within a 1 -year period will bring 6 months' suspension. A driver with 6 points will be advised of his record and asked to improve his driving. A' 9 points the motorist will be asked to attend an interview and show cause why his driv- ing privilege should not be suspended, He may be placed on probation or have his licence suspended if his attitude reflects irresponsibility. Points are deducted from the record 2 years after the date of conviction. After a period of suspension, a motorist will begin with no points against his driving record. Each motorist will receive a folder describing the Point System in detail when applying _for his 1959 Driver's Licence.

And you would say, "Yes, I suppose what you tell me of these an- cient Polynesian lands is true," It takes a visit there to discover how authentic the lyrics are. Here is that languorous air, and even-tempered breeze; here the white clouds tug ever at the green jutting mountains. Here the sudden brief shower drops Its rainbow into the misty up- land valleys. Here the lingering chant of Aloha and soft music echoes on the thought, even as the scent of frangipani blossoms meets one at the airport along with the garlands of leis. Here, Shakespeare, is another jewel, set in a blue, blue sea. As is the case with just about everywhere, Hawaii too is grow- ing in population. Right after World War II there was an out- migration; now it's an in -migra- tion, and the local birthrate is high. Since 1950 Hawaii's pop- ulation has increased from 500,- 000 to 582,000, Honolulu has a new suburban shopping center and the housing subdivisions are marching up the narrow valleys to seize the mountain slopes. To one looking inland front Waikiki Beach in the dark of night, these distant housing developments sparkle like stars scattered on the mountainsde. One can foresee a time when more Americans will conte to Hawaii and its 70 -degree tem- perature to retire, but not, thanks be, in such numbers as throng California. Land is too expensive today on Oahu, the central island. There is still roost on the other isles, which the quick tourist hasn't time to visit. The purser on our Pan Ameri- can Airways stratocruiser was enthusiastic about the tourist possibilities when the jets swing in on the trans -Pacific run. "When you can reach Hawaii in six short hours instead of ten from Los Angeles, people won't mind whether they ride a little closer together in economy or tourist class," he observed. Even now, a GI returning from the war years will find more hotels along the ocean fronts, new shops everywhere, more industries, and I-Ionolulu's business streets traffic -jammed at lunch hour. Still, the unhur- ried pace and the feel of unclut- tered loveliness have been pre- served to a great extent in the regions visitors haunt. The honky-tonk has moved in on only a small fringe. Hawaiian tourist boards and chambers of commerce will need to see to it that this island atmosphere is kept unspoiled. For Hawaii is a unique and beauteous coincidence of many circumstances: the near -perfect climate, the ocean with its surf for riding, the scented breeze, and the mingling of many races in harmony, which new and again produces blooms lovely as the hibiscus. The pretty sales- girl where Hawaiian shirts are sold under the stars is proudly Eurasian : Korean, English, and Irish. Caucasian Hawaiians I met, once from California and Minnesota, number among their close friends Japanese and Chinese families, play golf with them, sit on the same 'develop- ment boards. But at that level there is very' little inter -marri- age, writes William H. Stringer in The Christian Science Mont tor. For the visitor there are many natural masterpieces to be glanced at: the "blow hole" on a rocky shore, an orifice in the rocks through which water spouts like "Old Faithful" ev- ery time a big wave rolls in. In the hills there is the water- fall which actually reverses it- self—blown skyward in a plume of spray by the strong winds which dash against the moun- tainside. For the visitor also there Is the international mart with its shops and teahouses under the palms. Here are the vivid Ha- waiian shirts—and every male in town seems to have bought one and to be wearing it. Here, too, "muu muus" for sale—those voluminous "Mother Hubbards" which cover women of all ages with chaste prints or louder blooms, the most relaxing fash- ion ever designed, a true sack to fit a true mood. Here one buys wood bowls' made from the monkey pod tree, a carved carabao from the Philippines, jade from Hong Kong, Japanese silk. Here are caged myna birds—not for sale —and the tourist agency lady coos to one of then: "My, but you are a silly dear thing, aren't you?" And the myna bird, some- thing like a diminutive black crow with yellow trim, puffs out his chest, darts a sidewise glance, and proceeds to say "meow," followed by "bow wow." If the visitor will look about and project his imagination, Hawaii is a land of ancient myth and mystery. In the museum are the Polynesian long canoes, reminding one of the incredible sca voyages which carried these seafarers from Asia far beyond Micronesia and Melanesia.

An intensive search is still going on for the parents but the task is becoming more difficult At one time 600 cases a month were solved, but recently the rate has dropped to little more than half that. The situation is made even more heartbreaking by the fact that the Red Cross also have on their books 12,000 parents who are still looking for their chil- dren. But the Red Cross can be proud of the work they have done. Since the war more than 100,000 children have been re- united with their parents or other relatives., He returned home to find his young wife in tears.

Lover's Lane Was "Live" Minefield Dancing along the beach to- wards her sweetheart's camera, a pretty East Coast bathing girl heard him yell to her to stop, In the foreground he had spot- ted a rusty old object like an oil drum, looking much too un- romantic for the holiday scene. The photographer took a run- ning kick at the object and then turned dizzy when he realized what it was. "Call the police!" he shouted, A short time later an Army miniature atom cloud of sand unit arrived on the scene and exploded another live mine in a and shingle. Thirteen years after the end of World War II, teams of Royal Engineers and civilians are still clearing up the seaside mine- fields. On one of the last — a stretch `of shore -line near Trim - Ingham, Norfolk — nearly 500 mines have been detonated in the past few years. Bomb disposal men have been blown up themselves, so hide- ously real are the risks Some of the sappers have been dec- orated for gallantry, Yet the oampaign is still in progress — and it may be 1960 before the War Office gives the all -clear.. - Cliff falls have shifted and reburied the mines, staking the task still more difficult. The War Office wanted to fence off one danger zone and abandon it as a bad job, but local councils vigorously pro- tested at the hazards to holiday- makers. One young honeymoon couple were sunbathing on a lonely beach when an Alsatian dog sniffed around and then sat down near by An instant later they were surrounded by wor- ried soldiers. The dog was one of a group trained to sniff out mines and then sit, indicating with its paws where a mine Is burled. At one resort the police erred In listing a suspect floating ob- ject as just an old rusty moor- ing buoy. The children went on throwing stones at It. Visitors prodded it, Then the police had second thoughts and sent for a naval expert. The old buoy was In reality a rare type of sea mine and eighty people were evacuated from their homes before it could be ex- ploded. The mines are so touchy that some can be exploded by a high- pressure water jet, After twen- ty years' absence one man sigh- ed happily as he took posses- sion of his seaside villa, Hav- ing disinterred four box mines from the front garden, sappers gave it a clean bill, All the family came to stay for a hollday—arid then a chick- en scraped up metal—just an undiscovered part of a mine this time, in the back garden. Tlie family left hurriedly. The sappers returned and again gave the ground the once-over Fifty neighbouring gardens were also examined just in case a square inch had been overlooked, The only disbover'y was an old tea- pot, stuffed with the remains of several old-fashioned watches, perhaps part of a former smug- gler's cache! Even on the South Coast a forgotten mine -field, practically covered in bluebells, was found in a romantic lovers' rendezvous, Many people had ignored the "Danger•" notices and picnicked there. Courting couples had even sat on a bench - beneath which mines lay, No plans of the minefield ex- isted, The officer who led the mine -laying party in 1940 had been killed, and the plans he was carrying were blown up with him. Years later a rabbit' detonated a. mine , , and un- locked the secret of a clifftop minefield where more than 100 mines were later disinterred.

On a stage set in Jewelled splendour as an eastern harem, variety artists and stage hands fought the flames, their one way of escape blocked by a fear - maddened lion, Lafayette, the conjurer, died that night and his body was found close to the charred re- mains of the beast he had tried to save. The entire back of the theatre was burned out; and with it went the scenery and stage properties stored in readiness for the command performance a few nights later. The royal show was cancelled. It was a strange beginning for a series destined to blaze with glory through the years, A sec- ond postponement was caused by court mourning on the sudden death of the King of Denmark. But in July, 1912, at the Palace Theatre, London, the curtain eventually rose on the first royal command variety performance. Twenty-five of the greatest artists of the day were honoured to appear by royal command. They included dancer Pavlova and comedians Harry Lauder, George Robey and Little Tich. Yet officials banned the greatest star of all, beloved Marie Lloyd, because they feared she would be too vulgar for the great oc- casion, , Fully equal to the situation, Marie Lloyd appeared at a near- by theatre on the royal route and put up placards: "Every perfor- mance by Marie Lloyd is a Com- mand Performance by' the Brit- ish public." Gracie Fields inadvertently disturbed Queen Mary, ' who thought it wrong that a trained coloratura singer should risk her voice with "The Biggest Aspi- distra in the World." Then there was the storm that broke out when "Pogo, the Per- forming Horse" was announced for the programme. Although the Queen attends the circus, performing animals at the royal music hall invariably evoke pro- tests from anti -cruelty societies and they immediately attacked the Pogo proposition in full force, Faces were red when It, was subsequently announced that the Griffiths Brothers, brilliant ex- ponents in that line, were to be Pogo's fore and back legs. To avoid delay, bouquet pres- entations to royal performers are always strictly forbidden. As • part of his act, however, Nani, the clown used to advance to the footlights and murmur, plain- tively: "What, no flowers?" This resulted in a charming royal ges- ture when Queen Mary, touched by his pathos, sent him flowers from her own bouquet. Another year the bottom fell out of a huge box of chocolates which had just been presented to the royal party, and Princess Margaret and the present Queen began picking up chocolates scat- tered all over the floor, But to lessen this awful moment for the theatre manager, the Queen Mother asked, "May I have one?" "Your Majesty, I should con- sider it a great honour," said the manager. "It would soften the blow." And promptly the Queen Mother accepted a chocolate from his cupped hands and popped it into her mouth - regardless of carpet dust, With such a big show, things inevitably go wrong on occasion. George Black once planned to illumine a red, white and blue finale with a blaze of 300,000 watts, stage lighting more bril- liant than had ever been seen. At the great moment the fuse blew but critics next morning said that the dimming of the stage while the royal box was in radiance had been "superbly staged!" More recently the Queen un- expectedly entered the foyer by a left-hand door instead of a right and found herslf at the wrong end of a presentation line. "This must be harder work for you than television," Vic Oliver heard a soft voice saying. "You're telling mc!" said Vic, thinking he was replying to an- other performer -then found he was talking to the Queen. Then there was the occasion when Flo Desmond heard she had been chosen for the show - only to find her name omitted from, the final list. In bitter dis- appointment Flo wrote to the present Queen Mother, "There are people who will believe I have incurred your Majesty's displeasure . , I humbly beg that your Majesty will interest yourself on my behalf... ," As a result, the theatre mana- ger heard from Buckingham Palace and Flo Desmond became one of the few modern artists to appear by royal request. In reali- ty, the Royal Variety, Show hasn't been a "command per- formance" since the inaugural performance in 1912. It is now an "annual performance in aid of the Variety Artists Bdnevo- lent Fund," which the Queen and Prince Philip attend. To date over $800,000 has been 'raised for charity. "per 4 ,..

THEFARM FRONT Science has come up with a new protection for plants dur- ing the growing season - a poly- ethylene plastic mulch. Use of straw and manure mulches on plants during the Winter has long been an accept- ed horticultural practice. These mulches have also been used during growing seasons to re- duce soil compactness and evap- oration of soil moisture, to im- prove fertility and to control weeds. « • • But using organic mulching materials during the growing season has meant applying nitrogenous fertilizers to decom- pose straw, the introduction of weed seeds in straw and man- ures, and the reduction of soil temperatures when heavy rates are used for weed control. • • « Indications are these disadvan- tages may be partially overcome by use of polyethylene plastic mulch, says Horticulturist W. E. Torfason of the Lethbridge Ex- perimental Farm. Preliminary tests showed early -season soil temperatures were increased under the plas- tic mulch, Later, when plant foliage covered the soil, tem- peratures were comparable to those in unmulched soil. '• • * Tomato plants grown on' plas- tic mulch were more vigorous and produced higher yields. This is attributed to higher soil temperatures and- greater use of water due to reduced evap- oration. Soil compactness was not in- creased by mulching and weed growth was not a problem when black plastic mulch was used. Under clear plastic, how- ever, weeds grew rapidly and the mulch was punctured and lifted out of place. « • • Mr. Torfason suggests that gardeners, interested in using plastic mulch, do so with the object of controlling weeds and conserving moisture. Benefit of higher yield 'will be realized, in most seasons, as a result of re- ,ducecl plant competition and more adequate moisture, rather than as a direct result of the mulch. Plastic mulches cannot replace organic mulches for winter pro- tect'i‘on. • • • Like professional criminals, Canadian winters destroy all pos- sible clues after playing havoc with perennial crops. It has always been difficult to pinpoint what it is about winter that kills plants, since es- timates of damage are made in the spring after the evidence has been wiped clean. • • But tests are under way at the Central Experimental Farm that may throw some light on the subject. Canada Department of Agri- culture field husbandry experts are reviving sample plots of field crops from winter clorm- nncy by placing n small, bot- tomless growth chamber over them, Beat and light are supplied artificially. Snow and soil thaw and the plants begin to grow. The regrowth and vigor are 10- dicative of the amount of win- ter -kill up to that time. By placing the chamber on various plots periodically through the winter, damage to crops by vari- ous weather factors can be evalu- ated. • ► • After two winters of research, it is known that ice sheets aro disastrous to wintering alfalfa. Plots covered by ice for four weeks showed complete kill of plants by Dec, 20, Plots kept bare during the 1956-57 winter result- ed in complete kill by Feb. 1. On the other hand, four inches of snow over alfalfa caused 100 per cent survival of the crop. • * • During mid - December last year, a warm spell started alf- alfa growing in the fields. A sub- sequent cold snap caused 15 per cent winter -kill. Nearly 10 inches of snow followed and remained all winter. Injury evaluations in February showed no kill what- ever. • • • It appeared the crop, set back by the cold spell at the first of this year, was able to fully re- cover in 30 days under a pro- tective layer of snow. Little frost occurred in the soil with this snow cover. Tests spread over several win- ters will be required before re- sults are considered conclusive. It is not too difficult to leap cut of bed :as soon as the first day of sun touches your win- dow - that is, if your window faces west.

Noiseless popcorn =- you chew it without a crunch - has been developed by science, It promises to bring back the silent movies in which you could actually hear the sound track without masti- catory interference. _But don't expect too much of that promise - yet. - The new, silent popcorn is ac- tually a sorghum, not a corn, While it makes no racket under bicuspid compression, its ker- nels expand when popped to only 17 times their original vol- ume. You call this inflation? Not when some modern hybrid pop- corns expand as much as 33 times. Since popcorn is sold by bulk, they'll have to make pop sorghum more expansive to lend it commercial appeal. Lots of research is going on to improve popcorn. The Depart- ment of Agriculture, Cornell University (no pun intended), Purdue University and other in- stitutions are working on it be- cause of the great increase in popcorn consumption the last 20 years. Like other maize types, the movie corn is native to the Am- ericas. Indians ate it long before there were white men or theatre lobbies on this side of the At- lantic, They popped it on a hot- flat stone laid over a fire pit. White settlers took it up, but the stuff didn't really become commer- cially Important until around 1890. Now, as an outgrowth of the sweets scarcity in World War II and the, introduction of popcorn stands in theatres, it's the basis of an industry grossing many millions yearly. Growers in the midwest corn states harvested 251 million pounds of it last year. In the interest of prosperity for all, we have a suggestion which should get this crunchless munch project off the ground, Why not capitalize on the nat- ural sweetness of sorghum, and peddle the hot buttered pop sorghum as a sweet (as well as quiet) alternate to the popcorn? We make this suggestion free of charge. You can have it for the perfecting.

Last year I attended the Christ- mas program at a Teachers' College, The Choir Processional composed of seventy young peo- ple entered singing The First Noel. A narrator read the Christ- mas Story and a series of tab- leaux interspersed by carols by the Choir or the Choir assisted by the audience was presented. The tableaux showed The Wise Men and Herod, The Shepherds and The Angel. The Manger Scene, and the Adoration of the Magi. Then the audience stood and repeated the Lord's Prayer. All joined in singing 0 Come All Ye Faithful for the Reces- sional. The principal commented on the beauty, dignity and a sac- redness of the program. The em- phasis had been on the birth of Jesus rather than on, "What gifts will Santa bring to me?" Let us keep the story of Je- sus' birth central in our thoughts at Christmas.' In the rush and buying and figures of Santa Claus on every hand, let us not miss the great wonder of Christ- mas, the Lord Jesus Himself. Mary has the next most import- ant place in the Christmas story. She was blessed above all women in conceiving a child by the Holy Ghost. There is a renewed effort to shake our faith in the fact of the Virgin Birth. Some clergy are saying that it is scientifical- ly impossible and argue that Jesus and Paul never mention it. We grant that it is scientifi- cally impossible but with God all things are possible. Those who will not believe the ac- counts by Matthew and Luke would not believe it if Jesus and Paul had given detailed accounts, Jesus said, "I and my Father are one." (John 10:30) Paul said. "God was manifest in the flesh." (1 Timothy 3:16). These and many other sayings of Jesus and Paul can only be fully under- stood in the light of the Virgin Birth. Let us keep Jesus Christ cen- tral in our thoughts. Remember it was Jesus whom the Wise Men worshipped, (Matthew 2:11) not Mary or Joseph. We will only fully appreciate Christmas as we realize that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and He came to rec- oncile us to God by bearing our sins and triumphing over death. Let us worship and adore Him. An M.P. flung down several typewritten sheets before his new secretary. "Don't use such long words In my speeches," he said. "I want to know what I'm talking about."
