Fireside Farm Forum Meet
On March 2, 20 adults and 3 children
of the Fireside Farm Forum met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Flynn
to discuss the topic "What Can Agri-
culture Learn From Labour?"
1. A day labourer in the city is in
an entirely different position to the
farmer who is the investor of a large
capital, the manager, and also the la-
bourer. We believe labour union of
the present day are much too strong
for the economy of the country. The
chief lesson we learn from their his-
tory is that farmers must unite, be
properly organized and be willing for
a time to sacrifice some freedom to
gain for the future. The two farm or-
ganizations should unite to form on'*
strong . body. The farmers - cannot
strike as. easily as the city labourer.
The coal, steel, furnitere, cars, etc.,
can be stored for the future but on the
farm, milk, eggs,' fruit, etc., must be
marketed at once or be wasted. Pic-
ture the farm' family being forced to:
eat a hundred hogs, or sixty crates of
eggs;' -The farmer$` consider the rest'
of the population, Why' strike wasting
their products when people are need
Ing the food: • There are always thous
ands in the world that are hungry
There is great need of Education so
that more city and country people
could understand each others problems
Many city people do not realize what
a small percentage the farmer gets of
the price they pay in the stores:
The Federation of Agriculture should
publish what it has accomplished and
its projects for the future. Few realize
the good It has done, Surpluses and
lowered prices have been caused by
vertical integration which might have
been avoided if farmers had been bet -

Belgrave Co -Op Manager
Attends 'Trade Show;
• "Farmers are proving through
• their farm co-ops that they can be as
, progressive in salesmanship and sales
methods as their industrial and urban
counterparts," says Mr. M. R. Orr, of
Belgrave, manager of the Belgrave
co-operative, who has been attending
the trade show staged be the United
Co-operatives of Ontario at Ilderton on
March 2nd and 3rd.
"The Co-oporama '59, as the trade
show is called, is thesecond show to
- be held , in the last two years,' con-
tinued Mr. Orr. The show is packed
with sales tips and ideas for Co-op
managers to use to build a stronger,
more unified retail and wholesale farm
supply co-operative program for their
farmer- members and users."
The show has twelve exhibits cover-
ing gardening, feed, seeds, fertilizers
and agricultural . cheinicals, feeding
equipment, contract farming Informa-
tion, grain handling and distribution,
painting supplies, tires, batteries, anti)
freeze and petroleum products, pro-
pane, home appliances, and barn and
dairy equipment. •
Highlight of Co-oporama '59 was the
'announcement of the new Co-operative
contracting program. The new ' Con-
tracts, which still allow the farmer to
be his own boss, were released to Co-
op
managers. 'Also. announced were .the
latest developments in the bulk deliv-
ery of feed and the asisstanco with the
financing of equipment and appliances
that is now available to Ontario
farmers,
ter organized. Farmers should be wil-
ling to give larger dues to their or-
ganization so they may be stronger to
fight for their rights. We consider de-
ductions from the sale of farm pro-
ducts which is used for the promotion
of education and the formation and
use of marketing boards is a very fair
idea.
2. We tare not in favor of a strike
action by farmers, it would be wasteful
and sinful with so much of the popu-
lation of the world hungry and under-
nourished. By selling or exchanging
products to other farmers only they
could strike and, live for a long per-
Iod but with terrible effects on the
remainedr of the population, but farm-
ers have hearts and consideration for
others.

Snydcrs took charge and cards were
played and lunch eerve ,
daily fine of $500.00 per day, from
date set for passing necessary author-
ity by council. It- was a suggestion by
Dr, Berry that the holding of a public
meeting would he advisable to explain
'the situation to the ratepayers, A fur-
ther question was asked regarding a
vote, and we were informed that if
the Municipal Board agreed, that the
corporation was in a financial posi-
tion to proceed with said sewage sysb
'em, we would have to do so, regard-
ess of the outcome of a vote by the
-atepayers.
. It was explained to the council that
said system would not need to be fin-
inced comnlet.ely by taxes, hut woulri
'e financed through the Water Re-
sources Commission, by a frontage
rate of 20 to 30 cents her foot, a sew-
age service rate based on waterusage
'Ind the balance by taxes on the asses-
sed mill rate.
The council is apparently in the pe-
sitlon that the question of whether we
have a sewage system or not is out of
their, or the ratepayers hands, it is
only a matter of how the municipality
can and will pay for sane and to
some extent the particular system to
be installed. We would sag further
from the information supplied your
°mitre l that .111 municinalities in tate
Province of Ontario in similar circum-
stance as ourselves are in the some
rnei+ion and are being forced to take
action.
There is no doubtthat the advan-
tages of having a sewage system are
many and will be of great benefit to
our community, and it will be of
assistance if we are to progress as a
commuinty. It is your council's in
tention to keep the citizens informed
of any action before council in regard
to this matter, so that our ratepayers
will be served in the best interests of
the whole community.

Family Fireside Meeting
A filet entitled "The Tourist" was
shown at the monthly Family Fireside
held at the United Church in Blyth
after the Evening Service last Sunday.
This► film told an interesting story of
a garage owner who was opposed to
helping foreign countries in any way.
A United Nations correspondent was
injured in an accident outside his
home and was invited by his wife to
be their guest while he recovered.
When the garage owner learned to
think of people in other countries as
individuals, rather in general terms,
his prenudice disappeared. The. story
of this film pointed out in an amusing
and memorable way that the world
must become a brotherhood of peoples
and that this can happen only whir
each one does his share to accept
others and to eliminate prejudice. Mr.
Ron Snell and Mr. A. E. Cook were
guests at the Fireside, the forn.er
acting as projectionist.
At the Evening Service Mr. Mc -
Lagan continued the series of sermons
on "The Ten Commandments" speak-
ing on the 6th commandment using the
theme "You are a .murderer " The
minister indicated that probable more
often than we admit or realize we all
break the commandment since the
nrinciple involved is more complex
than merely killing another with a
knife or a rifle. The commandment
in its positive expression means that
the life of our fellows is sacred since
it is the gift of God and provides the
opportunity of eternal life. Anything
that disregards the sacredness of hu-
man life or treats life casually is it
the deepest sense disobedience of the
r'nmmandment. Mrs. G. Elliott • ane
Mr. James Lawrie sang a duet, "Sir
Only Touched the Item of His Gar
ment", during the service. The nee -
Family Fireside will be held after the -
evening service the first Sunday in
April.
AUXILIARY TO SPONSOR RED,
CROSS DRIVE
Once again this year the members
of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Cana-
dian T.egion will be sponsoring the
Red Cross Drive for this district. The
;fettles will be making door-to-door
calls starting next week.
Anyone wishing to make a donation
to this orrenizntinn are asked to get
in touch wilh either Mrs. Luella Mc-
Gowan or Mrs. Scott Falrservicc.
The mild weather that has been hov-
ering over the district for the rast few
days has been a welcome respite from
the long, hard winter witnessed in this
district. With zero and sub -zero tem-
peratures being the order of the day
for so long, the 35's. and 40's almost
feel balmy, -and one can see many of
the local business men making the
daily, trek to the post office in shirt
sleeves, rather than being bundled np
in- the usual - heavy winter -garb. •
Several local residents have report-
ed seeing crows on the fly; Harry Gib-
bons saw a groundhog last Friday and
Roy Buchanan reports getting a
glimpse of a robin on Monday, all of
which help to renew our hopes of an
early spring.

TOO MANY KINDS OF COMMON COLD BUGS
70 Cold -Causing Viruses Complicate Search For Vaccine
By JERRY BENNETT
NEA Staff Correspondent
Washington — When y o u
catch a cold, you may call a
doctor. But when some 18,000
Washington residents catch a
Bold, they call the National In-
stitutes of Health.
These 18,000 persons are tak-
ing part in a massive research
program to find a vaccine against
the common cold.
This is one of medical science's
most complex tasks, for doctors
have discovered that colds are
caused not by one virus, but by
a multitude of these sub -micro -
:Topic disease agents.
So far, they have located 70.
Some of these viruses specialize
in striking children, others con-
centrate on adults. Many show
up only in the winter, others in
warmer weather.
But scientists believe that
these 70 viruses account for only
half of the people's colds and
A similar study is being con-
ducted on about 60 small chil-
dren in a Washington welfare
institution. Doctors explain that
kids are usually highly suscept-
ible to respiratory infections.
With information gained from
these studies, NIH doctors hope
they can develop an anti -cold
Ehot that will contain several
vaccines, each one aimed at kill-
ing a particular virus. They be-
lieve that it might be possible
to make separate vaccines for
children, adolescents and adults.
Dr. Robert J. Huebner, chief
NIAD scientist, explains that an
effective cold preventative might
contain as many as 25 vaccines,
A combination vaccine de-
signed to knock out eight viruses
was developed recently by Notre
Dame scientist Dr. Thomas G.
Ward and given to about 2,000
students. A smaller group was
given a sterile solution callei
a placebo. At the end of the

other similar respiratory
nesses. They blame a lot of the
sneezes, coughs and sore throats
on allergies. Some colds, they
Eay, are probably caused by emo-
tional troubles. Still others are
thought to be caused by viruses
Shat haven't been isolated,
Last year a new group of
viruses was discovered by sci-
entists at the Bethesda, Md„
laboratories of the N,I.H. This
group turned out to he respons-
ible for more respiratory disease
among hospitalized Washington
children in 1958 than influenza.
In an effort to find other
viruses and l e a r n more about
the 70 old ones, NIH's Institute
col Allergy a n d Infectious Di -
ceases is spending more than two
'pillion dollars on respiratory
disease research.
Every time i.ne of those 18,000
catches a cold he is supposed
to notify a special research
team. Swabhings are made of
his throat and taken to a labora-
tory to determine which virus is
:ausing the damage. Doctors hope
this project will establish the
viruses lhet most often; strike
perlicular see groups and the

school year, the number of colds
among the vaccinated students
will be compared with the num-
her suffered by the non -vaccin-
ated group. If successful, Dr.
Ward believes the vaccine may
cut the usual number of winter
colds at Notre Dame by 60 to 70
per cent.
The cost of vaccine like the
one visualized by Dr,' Huebner
is unknown. But the scientist de-
clares:
"The justification for study
end eventual use of an all-pur-
pose virus vaccine ought not to,
be purely on an economic basis.
"I believe that a multivalent
vaccine capable of preventing
as much as 25 to 30 per cent'
of undifferentiated respiratory
disease, particularly in early
childhood, would be desirable for
the good and simple reason that
this is an enormous mass of
illness."
A recent medical report shows
that Americans and Canadians
last year suffered more than 300
million respiratory illnesses that
required medical attention. This
closn't include the millions of
less severe cases that never were
reported to doctors.

Wolf describes her set of singing glasses. Unlike glasses that
must be filled with water to varying depths before being play-
ed, her tuneful tumblers are played dry. Mrs. Wolf states that
it took her 10 years to assemble the chromatically matched set

wooden mallets.

At Maxim's They
Really Lived It Up
A dashing young French pilot
of the 1914-18 war, named Na-
varre, had a mania for chasing
policemen in his fastsports car,
He would arrive night after
night at Maxim's, the famous
Paris restaurant, leave in the
early hours, then drive at top
speed round the traffic islands
r,nd over the pavements of the
Place .de la Concorde. The gen-
darmes would shin up lamp-
posts, perch on fountains or
stone balustrades — anywhere
to escape his mad pursuit. But
they took no action against him
For, after all, was he not a brave
airman?
Maxim's was noted for its ec-
centric or unusual patrons.
Prominent among them was
Gordon Bennett, millio n a i r e
owner of the 'New York Herald',
who made his home in France.
Anyone who wrote asking for a
job on his journal would usually
be interviewed by him at lits
Champs - Elysees flat. Bennett
would enter the salon with two
pet dogs at his heels, Other
things being equal, if the does
took to the applicant he got the
job.
Learning of this, an Irish
journalist took the precaution of
rubbing linseed oil into his
trouser turn -ups. The dogs went
.mad over him and he got an
excellent post which he held for
years.
Harry J. Greenwall parades
65 years of Maxim's personalities
in "I'm Going to Maxim's" an
engrossing history of the glitter
ing social haunt immortalized
by "The Merry Widow"
One night after several ab-
sinthes at the bar, an expensive
supper with champagne, brandies
and a Havana cigar, a man
ordered another bottle of cham-
pagne. When It was finished,
he asked the head waiter to call
the manager, M. Cornuche, and
inquired: "What would you do
of a customer owed the estab-
lishment money and could not
pay?"
"I would kick his backside.
hard!" Cornuche replied,
The man thereupon rose and,
lifting his coat tails, said: "Now
receipt my bill, Monsieur!"
Another regular night - bird
would sup and drink well, then
invariably say: "I'11 pay you to-
morrow — I haven't a franc on
me!" He enjoyed the procdure
that always followed. He was
led away to a small closet where
a maitre d'hotel searched his
pockets for the wad of banknotes
he always carried. The bill was
paid, together with princely tips.
One patron, known as Eusebe,
was over six feet tall and as
strong as a horse, Before he'd
pay he had to be picked up by
his head and feet, held aloft and
shaken until a stream of gold
and silver coins fell from his
pockets.

time an attache at the British
Embassy, used to dine there with
his girl -friend, and sometimes •
drank too much champagne, Once
night the girl bit his cheek So
hard that it bled profusely,
Overcome with remorse, she
went to her dentist the next
day and had all her teeth out!
The peer wasn't seen again at
Maxim's for some time, Then,
one fine summer morning he
rode straight into the bar on a
horse, ordered a cocktail, and
drank it with much dignity
while still in the saddle, But
when he wanted to leave the
horse did not. There was a
rumpus before it could be coax-
ed out,
Two women in a party one
night decided to race each other
the length of the rue Royale,
from Maxim's to the Madeleine
Church, When one protested
that she would be handicapped
by her tight skirt, the other said:
"All right, then, I'll handicap
myself by carrying 'a man on
my back."
' She carried, pick -a -hack, a
well - known airman, Jacques
Faure, but was beaten. When
the party returned to Maxim's
to drink more champagne, they
took with them two street
sweepers to augment their
group!
One habitue once invited s
troupe of Red Indians from a
circus to dine wiht him; another
brought in a file of 'sandwich -
board men whom he'd found
tramping the boulevard gutters.
He told them to park their
boards under an archway new.
Maxim's and took them to the
public washplaces below the
Madeleine .to "spruce up". Ther
he fed them on cold chielcen,
salad and champagne.
A notable Maxim customer
was the wealthy American,
Eilzabeth Drexel, who married
Harry Lehr, When she became
a widow she let it be known that
only a suitor with a title would
be eligible to marry her Even-
tually she chose Lord Decies, on
condition that he would live in
London, she in Paris.
She entertained royally in her
mansion, Greenwall says, and
proudly exhibited there a wax
model of herself wearing the
peeress' robes she had worn
at King George VI's Coronation.
The model depicted her seated,
prayer book in hand, in the very
stall she had occupied in West-
minster Abbey. Somehow she
had contrived to purchase it!
Another Maxim regular, a
beautiful blonde, removed all
her clothes, sat in a centre of the
table at a party for 52 guests,
and sang songs, accompanied by
an or'bhestra playing in a corner
of the room. She then dressed
and went barefoot round the
table, collecting gold 25 -franc
pieces (then worth $5) from the
guests. Later she became a star
of the silent films and married
happily.
For a bachelor party given by
a French count on the eve of
his marriage, the private dining•
room was hung with crepe, the
waiters were dressed as funeral
mutes, and the tables as funeral
biers, Host, guests and waiters
got very drunk. The host was
carried home to bed, where h�
stayed for three days, and the
wedding was postpon,l for a
week!
A champagne salesman, Maur-
ice Bertrand, once arrived at
Maxim's sobbing, and in deep
mourning. With him were four
funeral mutes, who dumped a
coffin on a makeshift bier — two
chairs -- then placed lighted
candles on it.
"Gentlemen," said Bertrand tc
customers at the bar, "before w:
seal him up, would you like tc
look for the last time on the
face of the dear departed?"
With great ceremony the lid
was lifted — to disclose bottle±
of Bertrand's firm's champagne,
which were duly drained to -
everyone's delight!

AN ILL WIND — "It isn't the cold, it's the velocity" might well become a standard saying about
wintry weather to match that old heat -humidity cliche for summer. For, according to the U.S.
Army Medical Service, a brisk wind can make a cold day really frigid, Table above is
based on the Army's wind -temperature chart. A little practice with it will aid in making
the outlook on a winter day even bleaker. For example, a forecast of 35 degrees (Fahren-
heit) and 20 -mile -an -hour winds add up to the equivalent of 38 degrees below zero as far
as exposed portions of the anatomy are concerned (the same as being in a windless deep
freeze at that temperature),
Creepers Helped
On Icy Roads
We've had. a couple of good
ice storms this winter, after
several seasons without Made
me thlnk of the old "creepers",
and perhaps a few words won't
be too many, The creel er was
a device you strapped around
your instep, to help make you
sure-footed on glare Ice, and
they were common enough 90
almost . everybody wore them
when needed.
I suppose it would be hard to
buy a pair today. They were in
vogue before the flays af, salt
and sand, and in a time when
sleigfis and sleds needed smooth
going. The blacksmith would
sharpen the calks on horseshoes
so an animal could go as well
as in summer, Indeed, harness
racing on ponds and rivers was
common, and is far from extinct
even now in some sections. On
ice that is almost too slippery
for a man to stand on, horses
with sharp points on their shoes
van skim along faster than nu
dirt. The creeper was '.uppose'
to give a man something of the
same security.
The ice "storm Is a peculiar
thing, in that it rides the they
mometer- somewhere around 28
degrees. At that temperature,
we'll get an old he snowstorm
at times, and at other times we'll
get a rain that freezes when it
hits. Our proximity to the coast,
and our own weather belt, per-
haps give us ice storms mole
often than not at that'tempera-
ture. I suppose the dominant
thing is the air., upstairs
A really bad ice storm cripples
us, breaking trees across power
lines, and doing all manner of
damage to farm buildings, But
even though they are fairly ire•
quent in our winters, an ice
storm always seems to have a
faculty for sneaking up on you,
and you find yourself flat off the
steps and astonished.
Many times, now mostly in
the past, I have stepped blithely
from the kitchen door, bound
en a bleak winter morning just
prior to daylight to feed a calf
'• in the barn, and hit the frozen
dooryard some 30 feet from the
house, I'm sure many have shar-
ed this glad • surprise in other
dooryards. The night before I
had come in and the snow creak-
ed under my boots and all was

well. But an ice storm had filled
the night.
' I would like to speak about
calf mash, It is composed of
warm skimmed milk, into which
a lacing of special grow -quiet
meal has been stirred, and it is
a most friendly solution, It sitck-
etlh closer than a brother. It has
a penetrating power so it will
go through whistle -britches and
red flannel underwear instan-
taneously, and it has a rich, tasty
complexion as it embraces your
thigh and runs down inside your
hi -cut boots.
When you skid on an icy door.
step and the pail shoots into the
darkness, it has an unerring ca-
pacity for finding you out there
in the lonesome dawn, and it
comes down to snuggle close and
comfort you, You can hear the
calf in the barn blotting like a
tugboat afire, and you are late
for school, and there is calf mash
in your ears, and nothing to grab
holt of and get up.
So you crawl on all fours back
to the house, take off your
clothes, bathe off the sticky goo,
and ready another pail. You also
tie on, your creepers, and after
that everything is all right. This
last storm, a sedate and upright
neighbor lady backed her auto-
mobile -out of the barn, and slid
neatly down the driveway and
into the pines across the high-
way, She didn't know it was icy.
She couldn't crawl -up her own
driveway. so she' crawled down
the road to the next house What
she needed most was creepers.
But creepers require some
skill in their use. You need to
believe in them, first. You need
confidence, They come up under
your foot so they give you' a
teetery feeling, and there is a
tendency to mistrust them. You
overcompensate at first, This is
almost as bad as not having any,
and you can take an old h'ister
of a dump if you aren't careful,
coming down all askew and off -
center.
I saw a chain reaction once on
this account. One of our busi-
nessmen put on some creepers
snd started to cross the street,,
but balanced himself too tat
astern. He clawed at the air
a while, but went down, and
then several other businessmen
.tried to help him up. They all
- went down. They sat there in
the street a time, and then
crawled on hands and knees
hack to the barber shop, where
they got holt of the pipes of the
awning ,and drew themselves up.
They stood there quite a time,
all holding the awning.
Their trouble had been lack
of confidence. They should have
believed. So they discussed it,
and having convinced them-
selves they all suddenly let go
and walked off in different di-
rections as certain and safe as
you please. One little tinge of.
doubt andyou're down.
The other day I asked about
the house i'! anybody knew
where the old creepers had gone.
We've got some, somewhere,
Little diamond - shaped, steel
pieces with straps, and four
corners bent down. They're on
a shelf in the barn, probably,
or in a box under something.
I wouldn't know. they're an-
tiques, not needed much in our
sanded, salted, and enlightened
age. Ice storms bring out the
highway trucks, and if you wait
a' few minutes you can drive
with snow -treads.
I remember taking that second
pall of mash out, and then going
to school with a note that said
"Please excuse John, he, had
extra barn work," The ice storm
often kept half the 'teachers and
most al the pupils at home, but
I'd come running in with my
note, eager to embrace the day's
assignments, often with a tell-
tale' touch of calf meal on the
sides of my boots.

HEFMM FROM
Jokt
Logging today'in the U.S. West
is a decision-making job, Not
just whether to cut the tree
down. What to do with It after-
ward is the question.
Should the whole log go to a
sawmill, to be• made into lumber,
or cut into' 81/2 -foot lengths,
from -which sheets of veneer can •
be "peeled" 'off and made into
plywood? Or can'. a few "peeler
blocks" be cut off for plywood
and the rest used for lumber?
• « • ' •
Li.vwood sells for about four.
tf1L. the price of lumber, This
is roughly true, although the fact
is not Immediately apparent
from any price list, as lumber is
measured in terms of board feet
and plywood in surface feet of a
given .thickness.
Also, material constitutes about
40 per cent of the cost of manu-
facturing plywood, Consequently
the decisions In the woods can.
easily mean the difference be-
tween prosperity and penalty
for the user of the timber.
• • •
If you take a typical Douglas
fir tree 120 feet in height, the,
first 251 feet%might make three
good peeler blocks suitable for
plywood. The balance would be
two 32 -foot logs suitable for the
sawmill.
Blocks must be 81 feet long,
or multiples of that figure, be-
cause the normal plywood lathe
peels off a ribbon of veneer eight
feet wide, to be made into the
common 4 -feet -by -8 -feet sheets
.of plywood, The extra six inches
allows for trimming during the
process. • • •
For lumber, however, logs
should be from 20 feet to 32 feet
in length, in order to get more
economical Ind profitable use of
/the wood. But with demand for
plywood becoming greater, the
temptation is to cut more low-
grade logs primarily for that
purpose, and the result is likely
to ' be that the rest of the log
will be too short for economical
use by the sawmill,
As mills cut deeper into the
forests, quelity of the trees di-
minishes, and lower -grade lum-
ber is required. Consequently
there has developed a sort of
competition between sawmills
and plywood plants, to see which
parts of the tree can be most
profitably used for each 'purpose.
• • •
•
The consulting firm of- Pro-
duction Management Engineering
Associates, Inc., has worked
extensively in this. field 4o de-
velop practical controls as an aid
to better log utilization. They
have collaborated with the
United States Forest Service in
producing such reports as the
latter's Research Paper No, 23,
"Veneer Recovery from Douglas
Fir Logs," published in 1957,
• • •
In earlier years "it was as-
sumed that labor was the main
item of cost in lumber and ply-
wood production. Consequently,
It 'was difficult for mills to ac-
cept the concept that in some
cases adding more employees for
the purpose of gaining greater
recovery of materials would pay
off, Plant tests of logs, however,
disclosed the importance of con-
trolling the use of the wood.
Research to determine how to
get the greatest amount of usable
wood out of a log in the mill it-
self is not new, For many years,
everyone has kept close watch
on the recovery of usable mater-
ial, from the little "pecker -wood"
mills to the biggest establish-
ments, • « •
In the last 10 years, recovery
has increased from about 50 per
cent to 85 per cent or better. This
is partly due to the development
of by - products. Edgings, trims,
and waste are now made into
chips for the pulp • mills or
ground up into fibrous or flaked
material for use in hardboard,
pressed board, or other patented
wall boards. These various
boards are sold under some 200
trade names, but all of them
are ' basically the same, a sheet
formed under compression with
a binder to hold the material
together. , • • ,
In many industries it is con-
sidered cheaper to transport raw
material to the market for fabri-
cation or processing,' because
freight rates are higher on the
finished product, Logs, however,
have to be trucked in some cases
as far as. 50 miles over special
roads built by the users of the
timber, with grades, as high as
30 per cent, This is obviously a
costly operation.
Freshness From
The Old Farm Pump
Few of the old farm's imple-
ments can be more endearing, or
more conducive to contemplation
and reflection, than the barnyard
pump, a pulsing link that draws
a liquid . nourishment from the
throbbing veins of the earth, to
bring to the surface a silvered
stream that had found its way
through gravel and soil, and
through the seams between the
great . pressing layers of stone
deep within the ground. One
never pumps water from the well
without giving thought to the
precious endless flow that has
gurgled its way thorugh the earth
for far more generations than
those of a century's farm inhabit-
ants,
Watching the Holsteins and
Guernseys nudge their way up
to the watering trough on a
winter's morning, one tries to
contemplate the generations of
cows that have found thirst -
quenching delight in the bub-
bling and sparking flow, A man
' knows how satisfying and good
the water is. He had tasted that
same delight minutes before
when he . took into the house a
pail bf water from the dooryard
well before starting his morn-
ing's round of chores at the barn.
He and his cows drink from the
liquid purity of the slopes. They
share the nectar of the throb-
bing hills.
When winter streams, on the
surface of the slopes, are sealed
in ice and snow, the vein that
throbs and trickles deep within
the ground, below the frostline
and the freeze, ,ours on and on,
The song must be soft and rich.
On a zero morning of biting
winds, one sort of wishes he
could cup his ears to listen to
the gentle and muffled song of a
stream, pouring softly under-
ground, in the warmth of soil
and stone.
It is little wonder that one
cherishes so deeply the well-
worn handle of the barnyard
pump, It is little wonder that it
seems so vital a part of living
in the country. It yields a liquid
song, a splashing rhythmic mel-
ody ' drawn from the flowing
chords of the seasons and the
slopes, Fed by springs, and by
the thaws and singing rains, a
lot of songs must have poured
into the hills, like the, gurgling
of water flowing gently over
stones, bubbling through the
throbbing veins of the land, flow-
ing through the coolness of an
endless shade, deep within the
ground, and fresh as a wood-
land spring that yields its cooling
moisture to the roots of ferns.
Monkey Tricks
A murderous monkey in Accra,
West Africa, attacked a laborer,
and injured him so severely that
he died. The police arrested the
monkey and jailed him.
Something similar happened
m Bogota, Colombia, when a
monkey bit his owner not long
ago. The owner thirsted for
Jacko's blood, but a local animal
protection society intervened and
brought the• culprit before the
• magistrates.
It was pleaded on his behalf
that he had never bitten any-
one before so he got off lightly
with a sentence of six months.
A cynic knows the price of
everything and the value of
nothing.

MY SCllOOI
LESSON
By Rev R. Barclay Warlen
B.A., B,D,
Jesus Faces the Cross
Mark 14:32-42
Memory Selection: Not what 1
will, but what thou wilt, Mark
14:36,
Travellers to Palestine visit
the Garden of Gethsemane. It is
just three-quarters of a mile from
the wall of Jerusalem and LL
situated near the foot of the
western slope of the Mount of
Olives. It was to this beautiful
garden that Jesus went with the
eleven disciples after they had
partaken of The Last Supper.
After entering the garden he left
the eight disciples at one point
and took the favorite three, Peter,
James and John, farther into the
garden. Then he asked them to
watch and pray while he went
a little farther.
None of use can know the
agony of Jesus in that time of
prayer alone.
"It was alone the Saviour
prayed
In dark Gethsemane;
Alone He drained the bitter
cup
And suffered there for me."
Jesus knew that he would be
crucifled the next morning, But
it was not the abuse and torture
of the hours that lay ahead that
troubled him most. It was the cup
of sorrow of that very hour that
brought Him near to death. On
Him our sins were laid. He was
to make the complete and perfect
atonement. No wonder there was
a shrinking from this cup.
"There was no other good
enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the
gate
Of heaven, and let us in."
There was disappointment, too.
The three disciples, instead of
watching and praying, fell asleep.
How they must have mourned it
later! They failed Him when He
needed them most. It is Luke the
physician who records of that
hour in the Garden, "And being
in an agony he prayed more
earnestly; and his sweat was 11
were great drops of blood falling
down to the ground." This des-
cription indicates something oil
the intensity of His suffering.
Since Jesus loves us so, we
ought to forsake our sins and love
Him.

One day's difference and this'
column is out of date. I had it
practically written for this week
but later events made it seem
so out of date I tore it up. I'm
telling you, this winter you can't
tell in the morning what is like-
ly to happen before the day is
over. Each twenty-four hour per-
iod brings something new in the
way of weather. And Saturday
was no exception.
During the morning we were
busy with ordinary work. Then
the thermometer started to climb
and Partner decided he had bet-
ter do a little more work on the
ditches — just in case. On and
off for the last few days he
had been chipping away at the
ice so there would be runways
for the water if, and when, a
thaw should come. We got a
thaw all right. The sump -pump
worked like mad but that didn't
stop water seeping in at the foot
of the basement wall. A narrow,
shallow ditch in the cement floor
was supposed to take care of
just such an emergency but it
wasn't deep enough. So Partner
kept sweeping the water along
the ditch to prevent it overflow-
ing. After supper it was even
warmer so Partner went out to
the ditches again while I car-
ried on with the broom -swish -
Ing downstairs.
And as i f we hadn't enough
water to contend with the toilet
took that afternoon to plug up
and overflow — for the first time
since we came here. Bob hap-
pened to be here at the time so
he went off to the hardware for
a plunger and looked after that
little job for us, After the floor
was mopped up we resumed
operations with the outside flood-
ing. Partner and I both worked
until midnight, at which time I
went to bed but Partner stayed
up until two o'clock. Then he
came to bed as I said I would
go down in an hour or two and
make sure the water situation
wasn't completely out of hand.
But I was so tired I slept until
five! By that time Partner was
downstairs himself. Fortunately
it had started to freeze again so
flooding was no longer a threat
-- that is, for the time being.
This morning there is more ice
than ever — all ready to thaw
again once it gets the chance. We
will enoy the respite while we
ran.
df course we were not alone in
Our troubles. Neighbours here
and there were out running
ditches, trying to divert water
away from their basements. In
one house the sump -pump re -

fused to function so ,.the plight
of that' family was worse than
most, This morning ice was the
main problem. One man driving
home couldn't make the turn
into his own driveway, so there
he was, straddled across the road
on the ice. Art had the same
trouble with our driveway last
Friday when he and the family
came in after shopping — for
us as well as themselves. They
also brought us a gorgeous bou-
quet of red carnations ... for our
anniversary.
But it takes more than bad
driving conditions to keep some
people away. One evening last
week we were surprised — and
pleased — to receive a brief visit
from two readers of this column.
One has recently come to live
in the village. The other was
visiting. They phoned first to
see if we would be home. (We
were not likely to be anywhere
else — not in a freezing drizzle.)
So along they came and we had
a very nice little get-together.
Earlier in the week I had, as
I expected I would, received
several requests for more infor-
mation about a hearing -aid.
Those letters I have answered
personally. So that means I am
in closer touch with a few more
readers of this column.
Would you lik eto hear about
an experiment I tried the other
day that saved us six or seven
dollars? My warming -pad spark-
ed one morning when I was
straightening the cord. Was just
on the point of phoning the
drugstore to send up a new one
when I changed my mind. De-
cided first to see if I could
discover .what was wrong with
the old one — probably a short
circut somewhere. So I took the
switch apart, saw the wires were
burnt, stripped back the rubber
coating, twisted the fine wires
tightly together, wound them
around the two little screws, put
the switch together. And it
worked . . , just like that)
Then I gave my sewing -
machine the once-over. It had
done a lot of sewing for me late-
ly, sounded like a tractor — and
sometimes bucked like one. So
I got out the instruction book,
took off the front plate and
thoroughly cleaned and oiled the
whole works. Now it purrs like a
kitten. As I worked I remem-
bered that as a girl in my 'teens
I used to take my mother's sew-
ing machine apart in just that
same way. And for some reason
she was always quite content to
let me do it, but would never
touch it herself. I have known
women, Daughter among them,
have their sewing machine seize
up entirely through lint and lack
of oil. It pays to find out how
to do these things for yourself.
And it's fun, too•
Mammoth Map
Takes Five Years
Work will begin soon on the
construction of what will be one
of the most wonderful maps
ever made, a mammoth map of
an area where the foot al man
has not yet trodden—the visible
surface of the • moon.
So complicated is this task,
that it will take nearly five
years to complete.
The work will be carried out
by experts in the astronomy de-
partment at Manchester Uni-
versity. The United States Air
Force is giving $80,000 to help
pay for the map's construction.
Maps always make news. The
history of map -making goes
back into the dim ages, There's
a definite record of a crude map
of the world being brought on
to the stage as long ago as 423
B.C,, during a performance of
the Greek poet Aristophanes'
comedy, "The Clouds', ,
Few people realize when con-
sulting a map of Britain that
the first modern map was begun
from the top of St. Paul's Cath-
edral, in London, more than 170
years ago,
The instrument used by these
map -makers had to be hauled
up to the dome and is still in
existence at the Ordnance Sur-
vey Office, Southampton
Way back in 1851, when
Britain's first great international
exhibition was h e 1 d, map -
makers set up an immense globe
in Leicester Square, London.
It was 30 feet in diameter.
Continents and oceans were
depicted not on the oiit.side of
the globe but on ,its inner sur-
face. Visitors entered by a door
at the South Pole and climbed
a circular stairway to the Norte
Pole.
The biggest astronomical map
is the giant sky atlas of 1,753
sections completed at Palomar
laboratories, in California.
Astronomers worked on the
project for more than eight
years. This unique atlas reveals
stars, galaxies a n d systems
stretching far out into space and
all the sections together cover
an area the size of a tennis
court.

Is Your Child Safe On A School Bus?'
(Continued From Last Week)
As for the actual training, the
North Carolina motor vehicles
branch, which has chalked up an
impressive record for safe school
transportation, suggests a pro-
gram including both classroom
work and actual bus driving. If
necessary, the program' should •
go on for as long as 12 weeks,
These authorities, strongly advo-
cate that the training program
should be undertaken on a state-
wide (or province -wide) basis
"Training programs left• in the
hands of local or regional school
boards usually don't work," they
.,,say. "They usually don't realize
the need for training, they
haven't got enough money for
proper training and finally, they
don't have qualifled instructors."
North Carolina, with 35 full-time
instructors who do nothing but
train and supervise school bus
operators, has demonstrated that
its program actually works.
But no matter how competent
and well-trained the driver, he
can't provide safe transportation
if his vehicle is in poor mechani-
cal condition. Unfortunately,
many school buses are of sub-
standard quality; many locali-
tes lack a. regular and systematic
program of maintenance and in-
spection. In Nova Scotia, which
is better than most 'provinces.
every bus is carefully scrutinized
every six weeks. In Ontario, un-
der a law that went into effect
last summer, every school bus
must be inspected by a licensed
mechanic at the beginning of
each school year. In Alberta ve-
hicles are inspected every six
months; in British Columbia,
once a year. A Saskatchewan ed-
ucator told me, "Only six of our
56 local school units have a reg-
ular program of maintenance and
inspection."
Mechanical defects have al-
ready been responsible for many
accidents. In Saskatchewan, a
damaged exhaust system in one
vehicle allowed deadly carbon
monoxide fumes to escape, sick-
ening several young passengers.
The accident might have claimed
several lives, A school bus car-
eered off Highway 8, near Hamil-
ton and jammed into a tree, in-
juring one child; the steering
mechanism had jammed,' When
I asked safety authorities across
Canada to list defects found in
school conveyances, they cited
badly worn tires, deteriorated
brake linings, smashed head --
lights, broken windshield wipers,
rusted emergency doors which
wouldn't open, and flimsy,,make•
shift plywood cabooses built on
light trucks, Comments C.
Kenway, secretary, Alberta Iligh.
way Traffic Board, "Poorly main-
tained, makeshift vehicles may
appear economical but they're
expensive in the long run in
terms of crippled bodies and loss
of lives." •
Ilow can the presence of so
many sub -standard vehicles be
explained? Many safety officials,
like Dred Ellis of the Ontario
Safety League, argue that the
"tender system," used in many
tarts of Canada, is to blame.
Many school boards, instead of
running their own transportation
service, call for .tenders, from
private operators In an effort to
rve money, school boards some -
1 mes let their contracts not to
tee most reliable bidder but to
t he lowest one. "They hire trans-
portation at a price where It's
impossible to provide sound ve-
hicles and good quality mainten-
ance," a Saskatchewan educator
decltires,
Tl;is is not too difficult to un•
dre stand. A good school bus costs
$12,000 or more. Expert mechan-
ics earn high wages and so do
goer! drivers. Since school trans-
portetien contraicts last for only
one yi ar this discourages con-
tractors from making heavy in-
vestments. Many competent bus
operators have been forced out
of business by price -cutting con-
petitors. In one province for ex-
ample, one operator, after years
of satisfactory service, failed to
get a renewal of his contract be-
cause an inexperienced new-
comer had underbid him a few
cents a mile. Another contractor,
who had driven children to
school 'for over. 10 years with-
out a single accident, lost his
contract because he was $50
above the successful bidder.
Obviously, the one-year .ten-
der system is in need of revision.
Safety, rather than price, should
be the main consideration in
granting contracts. And perhaps
the contract period should be ex-
tended to five years, on condition
that the operator continue to pro-
vide competent drivers and main-
tain his vehicles in good shape.
But ,low -bidding operators, too
poor to acquire good equipment
and maintain it, are not th6.;DUly i
guilty ones, ' W. Arch Bryde'< f :
the Canadian Highway Saf@ty
Conference says, "Many
school boards buy school ) si;s
as cheaply as possible. Some 'of
them are so ramshackle that par-
ents shouldn't permit their chil-
dren to ride in them."
Just as important a safety fac-
tor as the mechanical condition
of the school bus is the behavior
of the students as they drive to
and fror their classes. The aver-
age family man finds that he
can't drive properly if he's dis-
tracted by his two or three chil-
dren squabbling in the back seat
of his car. Imagine, then, the
plight of the bus driver who's
harrassed by 50 or 60 noisy, ac-
tive children. He's a likely can-
didate for an accident.
I recently spoke to a safety
official who spent a few weeks
travelling several school bus
routes. On most of the trips, the
children were orderly and well-
behaved. But he described : one
trip which was different. Under
the watchful eye of a teacher,
the students waited quietly for
the bus doors to open. Once in-
side, all hell broke loose. They
fought for their favorite seats.
They shouted, whistled, sang,
Caps, gloves, books went sailing
through the air. A half dozen
students roamed around, occa-
sionally engaging their friends
in wrestling matches. They ig-
nored the driver's pleas to keep
quiet. An eight-year-old boy
shoved open the emergency door
at the rear of the bus and -night
have gone sailing out onto the
highway had not an older stu-
dent grabbed him.
Not long ago, near North Bay,
a driver was forced to stop his
bus because he was being blind-
ed by flying objects hurled by
his passengers. He refused to
continue until the horseplay
ceased. It is too much to expect
that such drivers, subject to this
kind of an ordeal, will be cap-
able of delivering their passen-
gers to their destinations with-
out a mishap. There are no sta-
tistics available to show how
many school bus accidents have
begin caused by frayed nerves.
Yet order and quiet can be

maintained by a system which is
hardly being used in Canada at
all. The solution lies in organiz-
ing school bus safety patrols. In
Wisconsin, for example, a two-
man safety patrol is assigned to
each bus, The patrolment are
senior students selected beause
of their maturity, intelligence
and status in student activities
One of the patrolmen is station-
ed in the front of the bus. He
helps the children in, then sees
them safely across the highway
when they alight.• The inside man
makes sure that every passenger
takes his assigned seat and he
maintains order while the bus
is in motion. A Wisconsin school
official wrote me, "The young-
sters serving in the safety pa-
trols have justified our faith in
them. We have no disciplinary
problems on our buses."
There is still another way o1
promoting school bus safety:
traffic legislation. Most provinces
have laws making it obligatory
for motorists to stop behind a
school conveyance when it stops
to take on or drop off children
New Brunswick has gone a step
further: motorists meeting or
overtaking a standing school bus
are required to come to a halt,
thus allowing the youngsters to
cross the highway safely But
many authorities, like Walter
Reynolds, commissioner of high.
way safety, Department of
Transport, Ontario,,rare:• opposed
to stopping oncoming:traflic "It's
over -protecting the:Child," he ar-
gues. "He might get hurt when
he has to cross a highway on his
own." Another danger is that a
motorist from another province.
unfamiliar with local laws, might
unwittingly run down an unwary
youngster.
As a further prolective meas-
ure, most school buses are paint-
ed a bright "school bus" yellow
as a caution to the motorist. It
has undoubtedly already saved
many lives. It will save even
more as the public gets used to
the color and respects the ordi-
nance to come to a halt behind
the school bus. Unfortunately,
the effectiveness of "school bus"
yellow has been watered down
for a number of reasons. Com-
mercial bus companies who use
some of their regular vehicles
for school transportation for a
few hours daily refuse to paint
them in what they consider a
garish color. Again, in recent
years, thousands of buses and
trucks have blossomed forth in
a wide variety of bright shades
and hues, thus malting the yel-
low school bus less conspicuous
R. P. Lawrence, manager of the
Alberta Safety League, believes
that "we should go to work im-
mediately to find ways of mak-
ing our school buses even more,
distinctive than they are now."
Never before have we spent so
much on the education of our
children. Never before has there
been so much discussion about
our schogJs. Millions of words
are being written and spoken
yearly about teachers' salaries
and qualifications, curricula con-
tent and methods of instruction.
Courses have been introduced to
improve the physical and mental
health of our youngsters. But a
more fundamental problem—how
to safely convey 400,000 children
to and from their classrooms so
they can enjoy the fruits of our
spending and planning—is only
now beginning to attract the
widespread attention of educa-
tors, safety authorities and par-
ents. By SIDNEY KATZ in
Imperial Oil Review. '

Modern Etiquette
by Roberta bee
Q. Is it all right to use one's
own knife to take butter from
the butter dish, or one's own
wet coffee spoon to take sugar
from the bowl?
A. No, If the serving utensil
is missing from either of these
serving disLes, and your hostess
hasn't noticed it, be sure to use
a CLEAN knife or spoon, and
then ask later—when you need
that particular utensil for the
next course—to have it replaced.
Q. Please suggest a letter 1 .
might write to a friend who was
kind enough to write to me in
my recent bereavement. •
A. "Dear Margaret, Your sweet'
letter gave me great comfort.
Thank you so much for writing.
I shall call you as soon as I feel
able. Lovingly, Susan."
Q. Should the napkin be held

Small Investment
— Big Pay -Off:
Like millions of other Britons,
Jim Gault and his 'cousin, Bill
Stranaghan, had , often indulged
in luxurious day dreams about
getting- rich quick on the "foot-
ball pools", the legalized week-
ly lottery on national soccer re-
sults,
Every week for the past two
reasons, Gault, 53, a laborer from
Glengormly, Northern Ireland
and the partially blind Stran-
aghan, 68, had scraped up 5
shillings (70 cents) between
them for a chance in one of the
pools, They never won, One
week last month, on a hunch,
they bought a 9 -shilling ($1.26)
ticket, filled out their predictions
for Sunday's games as usual, and
mailed in the list.
Gault was in the kitchen 01
his pre -fab cottage one evening
recently, peeling potatoes for
dinner (his wife, Mary, was in
New Zealand visiting an ailing
brother), when poo] officials
drove up, Solemnly, they in-
formed him that he and his
cousin had just won the biggest
jackpot in pool history, The
winnings on the $1.26 bet:
£300,684 ($841,915,20) — com-
pletely tax-free.
Next morning, Gault telephon-
ed his boss ("Says 1: 'You'll
have to get yourself a new.
man' "), then flew to London
to pick up his check. "I'm going
to buy a three or four -room bun-
galow," he told reporters after
enjoying his first London meal at
a Mayfair hotel (lamb chops,
fruit salad, Irish whisky, and n
cigar). "The rest depends on
Mary,"
Back in Glengormly, Stran-
aghan was even more phleg-
matic, "I'm not bothered about
the money," he said. "All 1 want
is my sight back , , . and to go
on .walking my dog at 5 o'clock
in the morning," From a framed
inscription on the wall of his
kitchen, Stranaghan proudly
quoted his philosophy:
Ain't this world a funny place?
And yet it's Hard to beat;
With every rose you get a thorn.
But ain't the roses sweet?
Hit -And -Run
Jimmy Dykes, one of baseball's
elder statesmen now and still
active on the coaching lines,
this coming season for Phila-
delphia, tells this one about the
time when he was managing
the Chicago White Sox:
"Luke Appling was a great
hit-and-run hitter but very often
he came up with Taffy Wright
on first base. -Taffy had his vir-
tues, but getting the hit-and-run
sign was not one of bhem. Final-
ly in desperation I called.
Appling and Wright together one
day and told bhem to work out
their own sign. It was agreed
that Wright would decide on the
signal and Taffy asked us to
let him think about It over night.
The next day we met near home
plate.
"-'OK, Taffy,' Appling said to
Wright. 'What's the signal?'
"Taffy looked Appling right in
the eye as he replied: 'When J
run, you hit.' "
"Why the string round your
Anger?"
"My wife put it there so I'd
remember to post a letter."
"Did you post it?"
No -- she forgot to give it to
She's A Champion
Lady Beekeeper
Looking after 15 million bees
and five children is all in a day's
work for Mrs. Lucy Deschamps
of Duvernay, near Montreal,
who is the wife of a Canadian
champion beekeeper. When Ger-
ard Deschamps won the Cana-
dian Beekeeper's Council Trophy
for the best exhibit of liquid
honey at the Royal Winter Fair.
in November, he gave equal
credit for his success to Lucy.
In 1947, when Lucy married
Gerard, an air force veteran, she
had no idea that some day she
would be "mothering" champ-
ionship bees. In fact, she was
terrified of bees. Today she is
an expert handler. Lucy says
that it took her about one year
to become accustomed to the
bees. As to being stung — "it's
in the game!" she says cheer-
fully, Conquering the fear of
bees is the first and most im-
portant step in the life of a bee
`handler. Bees, like a great many
other animals, seem instinctively
'to' sense fear in their handlers.
• The Deschamps have three
hundred hives spread over five
different locations within a
radius al five miles from their
home. The hives are placed
where the best clover crops are
found, Last summer, . the Des-
champs even took some of their
hives to the Lake St, John
district for 15 days to take ad-
vantage of an excellent clover
crop In. that district.
Producing and packaging
championship honey means that
Lucy Deschamps has a heavy
schedule each day, Rising at 6;30,
she gets her five sons, ages two
to 10, ready for the day (three
of them go to school), and then
prepares to go out to the hives.
Her husband, who works until
2:30 a.m. at the post office,
doesn't get up until nine. When
he is ready they drive out, work
and collect honey until mid-
afternoon. I,iucy has a young girl
who stays with the two younger
children during the day while
she's away.
However, three mornings a

ARTILLERY
BETTER WITH A BAT. — Duke
Snyder; above, is more lethal
with a bat than he is with a
six-shooter, Dodgers' heavy -
hitting Duke played a bad guy,
left, in a recent giddap opera
for the home screen.
week during spring and summer,
Lucy follows a different pattern,
She leaves the house early and
drives a pick-up truck to the
Jean Talon market in Montreal,
She has had her own stall there
for several years and has many
steady customers for the Des-
champs honey. In winter she
makes the trip to market only on
Saturdays.
During the afternoon and even-
ings, Lucy works in the •small
workshop attached to their house
where the honey is processed and
the combs prepared and pack-
aged. While some of the honey is
extracted from the combs, filter-
ed through a special nylon mesh,
and sold as liquid honey, the ma-
jority of the Deschamps honey is
sold in combs which are indivi-
dually packaged in tiny bags of
cellulose film. These small combs
are cut with a multiple cutter.
Lucy then uses specially -design-
ed machinery to insert the combs
into their bags before putting the
candy -bar sized 'portions into at-
tractive, individual 'boxes,
Collecting, processing a n d
packagng the honey prop, look-
ing after her sons and keeping
house make Lucy Deschamps an
extremely busy woman. How-
ever, she's at her happiest when
working alongside her husband
and the cheerful, relaxed atmos-
phere of the Deschamps house-
hold gives ample evidence that
being "busy as a bee" is good
for you!
Paint — Your — Own
—And Save
The spring bride may find it
hard to furnish a "dream" home
on a down-to-earth budget, How-
ever, there are ways of stretching
money for.furnishings. One way
is to buy unpainted furniture and
to finish it at home.
Finishing furniture is not dif-
ficult .just a matter of using
the right product and following
directions to the letter. A good
basic rule is this: Never apply
a finish to a surface that is not
thoroughly clean and dry. Sand
with fine 'sandpaper and dust
off with a turpentine -dampened
cloth before ever touching a
paint brush.
Natural wood colors play an
important role in modern decor-
ating schemes. The attractive
grain of good wood can be en-
hanced and, at the same time,
protected by a clear varnish.
Certain open -grained woods such
as oak, walnut or mahogany will
need k wood filler before varn-
ishing while close -grained woods
like pine or maple are all ready
for the finishing job.
New wood usually needs at
least two coats of varnish and
each coat must be thoroughly dry
before starting the next. It is
also a good idea to sand lightly
between the coats,
A special satin varnish, applied
as the final coat, will give the
furniture a lovely sheen. How-
ever, those of the "elbow -grease"
school prefer rubbing down the
ordinary varnish with powdered
pumice and water, Polished with
a coat of liquid polish or hard
wax, the finished wood will have
a "mellow" look that's strictly
professional.
In some woods, the natural
color is not as attractive as it
'might be. If that Is the case,
give it a coat of wood stain be-
fore varnishing. There are many
stain colors on the market.
A final coat of clear varnish
applied over a stain gives a
hard-wearing finish that resists
moisture.
A child's persistent sniffing
annoyed a woman standing next
to him.
"Young man," she said, "have
you got a handkerchief?"
"Yes," replied the youngster,
"but my mother won't let me lend
it to anybody."
