The Blyth team out numbered their opposition in man power by 15 to 8, but when it came to playing hockey, the 8 Lucknow boys took over from the first whistle and showed no signs of tiring even by the end of the game. Perhaps the least said about the con- test the Netter, but coach Fairser•vice held a stiff practice on 'Tuesday even- ing and promises a better game when Blyth meet Seaforth at the local arena on Friday night.

If the enthusiasm shown at this meet- ing carries over until Fair time the 1961 fair will be better than ever. BLYTH W.

C. Johnston and Mrs. E. Wright, served "dessert," Everyone had arrived on time, mak- ing it possible to commence the meet- ing early. The president opened the meeting with a brief address. The treasurer re- ported $136.43 had been spent during 1960 on civic.inprovement, including la- bor of $69.30, on seeds, plants and shrule Other expenses included Ilonararium for secretary-t1easercr rand 10.03 to- wards expenses of delegate to 1960 Pro- vincial convention at Hamilton, which brought the total expenditure to $255.94. The Society feel they have had a good year and accomplished much. Proof of which could be seen at the park, where a background of beautiful dahlias !deemed profusely until the frost came. The large bed of roses in the park was also a source of admiration, The Women's Institute . planted a flowering plum in the park to com- memorate their 50th anniversary, and Mr. and Mrs. Scrimgeour planted a rose hawthorne to mark their 60111 wedding year. Shrubs of habiseus and rose of Sharon were planted by the Society, which should provide extra beauty. The window boxes at the Dlentorial Hall were a joy to behold all summer, and the thanks of the society go to Mr. J. Bailey for watering them so faith- fully, Some of the street corners were lovely and well taken care of by some of the members, while others were somewhat neglected; but, "if, while you go for a pail of water to water the plants, someone drives over the bed with a car'," what would you do? There were 80 members in 1960, a slight decrease from 1959. We believe if the people of the Village realized the Department grant is based on our mem- bership, no one would refuse a mem- bership of our own society.

PIK British Phones — An American View British pay telephones have everal complications unfamiliar most Americans. In addition VD putting the money in the slot end dialing, you have to con - lend with two buttons, marked A" and "B" When your party answers, tou press the "A" button and hey can hear you. Until you press it, you can hear them but Dot vice versa. And once you press that "A" button, your Money is gone for good, It can be confusing if you forget to push. Once in Birmingham, 1 yelled fruitlessly over the phone to an apparently deaf press offi- cer who kept saying, "Hello, Hello. is anyone there?" Then he hung up, fur 1 never did re- member that "A" button. But it %vas my fault; there were in- truction: galore in the booth. "B" button is for getting your money back if you get the n'rong number or no answer, It does not suffice merely to hang up the receiver or jiggle the hook, How- ever, the money that clinks back le four large copper pennies — about five cents American — which means the call cost you half what it would in the States, On the other hand, those pen- nies are big and heavy, especial- ly if you have numerous calls to make, They can wear holes in pockets. Four coins — and four chances to miss the slot — on each operation! ....Telephones 0 r e nationalized here, owned by the government end operated by the post office, Two -Needle Set 938 Cue. ww2.4 Baby cables create rich, tex- tured effect — big, big pompon adds fun 'n' fashion.

'?'hey slake a tidy profit, nearl( .017,000,000 (47,600,000) for the 1959.60 final year, My family now understands why -- those trans-Atlantic telephone calls do mount up when you have some• one in school on the other side. Moreover, charges for trans- Atlantic calls now are reversible, 0 Point every parent needs to know, You sit In London, perhaps a little lonely yourself and the phone rings. "Will you accept a collect call from St. Louis?" the operator asks, "Er ... of course," you stam- mer. Who knows what the dire need may he at the other end of the line? It's t,'1 per minute, you remind yourself, and then the seconds start ticking away. The polite formalities are scarcely ever before you hear an omin- ous „beep, beep, beep." We all know what those beeps mean — three minutes have fled past, We have conversed nearly 10 dollars' worth, yet this con- versation has not yet got down to brass tacks, Nevertheless, firm contact is established, and several sets of beeps later, the fond farewells can be completed, As I said, telephones chalk up a tidy profit, Perhaps it would be 0 good idea if advance dialogue scripts were required from both parties before any call could be placed. After all, that n'ould prevent wasted words and those awk- ward pauses when you can't think of anything sufficiently weighty to say, writes ?Henry S. Hayward in the Christian Science Monitor, But don't get me wrong. Do 1 enjoy talking to St. Louis? You bet 1 do — every wandering, un- planned moment of it! It's not what you say; it's hearing the voice of a loved one that counts, Moreover, we really are for- tunate, Officially 49,000 Britons will have to wait a long time before their phones can be in- stalled, and another 106,000 still are in the process of getting theirs. This is despite the fact that 400,000 new phones are in- stalled here each year, The problem is that the post office estimates every new phone installed for a new subscriber costs about £120. Officials say an average of only one or two calls per day are made from each private phone as it is. Peo- ple will have to do better than that, and my family for one is cooperating to the utmost to bring up the national average. Oddly enough Britain is not one of the foremost telephone - owning nations. In the United States, there is a phone for 38 out of every 100 persons, Here, it's only 14 out of 100, ranking this country behind Sweden, Canada, Switzerland, New Zea- land, Denmark, Australia, and Norway, but ahead of West Ger- many, Italy has only 6 phones per 100 people, but Italy is in- stalling new phones faster than anyone else, Another British telephone practice that surprised us is that the bills come in only every six months. However, within the next four years, a great effort will be made to ensure that everyone gets his bill every three months instead, I don't know whether to be happy or sad about this.

RONICLES NGERFARM e lac toter e D Ctai.eka Come and pay us a visit and you will see "how to live better e-lec-lrica1ly"' Which doesn't mean we have suddenly acquir- ed a lot of unnecessary new- fangled gadgets. We don't pos- sess an electric wiener grill or an electric can -opener or any- thing fancy like that. tVe are still capable of turning the levet on a hand -powered can -opener and the oven or a pan of boiling water continues, to satisfy us for cooking a few hot dogs, How- ever, where a small outlay 'really makes for comfort and conveni- ence we are all for it. So, my bedroom -den has become quite a family joke, The room start- ed out as an ordinary den, then, because I am so restless at night I set up a single bed in it. That way Partner and I don't disturb each other. Partner sleeps like a log anyway — and can you tell me, to a restless person, of any- thing less conducive to sleep than to have a roan -mate in a state of deep -breathing oblivion. So the den has gradually be- come workroom, bedroom, study, or what have you, and is gener- ally spoken of as "mother's room". And, the number of elec- trical conveniences it contains has, as I said before, become a family joke, Here they are, An expanding desk lamp, 'a bedside reading lamp and a night -light — plus .the usual permanent overhead fixture, I also have my electric sewing machine, record player, clock and bed -side radio. And to ease my old and aching bones an electric blanket and a warming pad — sometimes both in use at the sante time, Tomor- row, to my way of thinking, comes the last word in conveni- ence — a "princess" extension telephone. All things consider- ed, from now on, it shouldn't be too hard to do what the doctor ordered — that is, stay in bed until the old ticker has simmer- ed down and learnt to behave in an orderly manner. So that's where I am, right now. Oh, I had it coming to me, be- lieve me, I had been given re- peated warnings to slow down or else, But like so many other people, as long as I can stay on my feel 1 keep going, High blood pressure is an insidi- out complaint — generally a per- son acts and appears to be per- fectly well, one of the side ef- fects being any amount of rest- less energy. And there is a compulsion . . , just as one na- turally drives a car faster when the gas is running low. I was well aware of the chance I was taking so I was constantly on the alert for danger signals. By that means I was able to pull up just short of the border -line, How- ever, only the fact that there wasn't a vacant bed saved me from being sent to hospital, That, and because I wasn't yet an "emergency". To stay home is far more convenient as it doesn't leave Partner entirely on his own. We are really getting along very well, Dee and family were here Friday night with a good supply of groceries and rein- forcements for the "trig" — plus a savoury pleat loaf, I1 made me feel hungry just to smell it.' Our only worry was the telephone. Partner isn't in the house all the time and for me, getting out of bed every so often isn't exactly convenient or advisable, But with a bedside phone I'll be liv- ing the life of Riley, Daughter said I should have a portable TV ! -That, I would consider, an unjulifiable extravagance. Anyway I manage to get out to the Iivingroom for an occasional half-hour programme. If not. I can live without it. 1 can read, write, knit, do crossword puzzles and listen to first class music by record or radio. What more could a person ask': Partner is still ,able to lake on baby-sitting jobs. Thk morning he was over t0 a neighbour's at 015 a,m.! The men of the house had to catch a plane at Mallon, en route to the far North a hurt, he has a special electronic as- signment. Naturally his wife wanted to sec him off at the air- port and leas prepared to take the two children with her — just under two and four years, When rye knew what she had planned Partner insisted on going over so she wouldn't have to wake the children, As it happened Partner took on mune than he knew. Yesterday these same neighbours adopted a seven - weeks old , puppy of undeter- mined origin, The children slept but the puppy didn't, Partner was quite busy with newspapers and an old floorcloth. however, our young neighbour gut her farewell trip over in comfort — despile the early horn' and a howling wind, She doesn't ex- pect to see her husband again until mid-March, But she is good stuff — no complaints or self pity. She accepts the fact that in her husband's line of work he must go whey( he is sent — even to tine Arctic. Two years ago he was in Regina f o r several months, That time he rented his house and took his family with him, 1t turned out not to be such a good idea, The tenants skipped out one night leaving hydro and telephone bills and two months rent still owing. The police never were able to catch up with them. "Mr, and Mrs, J.L.B," — my ever faithful fan -mail friends, where are you? This is site first time in ten or twelve years I haven't heard from you at Christ- mas time. I do hope you are both well. 1 missed your letter and card, British Youngsters By TOM A, CULLEN, Newspaper Enterprise Assoc. London — For British young- sters who want to fell trees in the Borneo .jungle, the nation'ir 'little peace corps" provides a necessary outlet, Surprisingly, there are more than enough youths who want to do this or: Wire a village for electricity in Ethiopia, Introduce softball in the Nor- thern Rhodesia copper belt. Lead an expedition in the mountains of the Southern Co- rrlcroons, Build bridges in Nigeria. Try a million and one other tasks in 'faraway places with strange sounding names, Americans, contemplating a peace corps of their own, might take a lesson from the British program behind all this, the Volunteer Service Overseas. The V.S.O, started two years ago with the support of the Bri-' tish Council of Churches, tine Royal Commonwealth Society and the British government, At' present, the organization has 85 British boys and girls in 25 countries and plans to send another 150 abroad later this year, '?'here is a long wailing list of applicants for V.S.O. About half a,re high school graduates seek- ing a period of adventure before embarking on university careers; the others are industrial appren- tices and trainees. , The only material contpensa- lions offered these youths while abroad are room, board and pocket money. These are provid- ed by the government or agency ul the territory where They work, Their fares are paid by the V.S.O. or British concerns which employ them. They must be between 18 and 24, physically fit, with avenge endemic ability and good char- ecter, Parents' consent is requir- ed for those under 21. All of gorse volunteers serve a mini arum of a year. When The Queen's Train Was Late It's happened to most of it. at one time or another being becalmed to a train for what seems like ages due to an en- gine failure of some sort. But when it happens to the ruling Monarch in her own country — well, that's different! And happen it did to Queen Elizabeth II on a recent eve- ning. She was bound back to Sandringham after a short visit to London, and her royal coach was attached to the regular 4.36 train from Liverpool Street Sta- tion to King's Lynn, hauled by a Brili: h -built diesel locomotive. Just south of Audrey End, to the Essex countryside, 42 utiles out of London, Diesel No. D-51307, eouehee to an unschcdttIcd hall half utile from the station '1'o par'aphresc Jonce," flogger Stan Fenn Ir,oked at the old -pressure gauge, and the oil p1'essru'0 was low. In fact, it was nil. ''I fell 00 fol," confessed Stan afterward, "i kept thinking of )ler Majesty sitting back there and probably wondering what a clo( I was." There Stan and the Queen ale': everyone else its the train sat for whal seem(d like a very long and embarrassing 56 min- utes, Except for the guard, who sprinted 300 yards along the track to a signal box to give warning, tip and clown the line that the Queen's train was stall- ed. We are not told what Her Majesty did during the delay. Perhaps she continued with her work on state papers, read a book, or just gazed dreamily out the window at the saner strip of countryside and wondered when the train—royal trains normally are "dead on lime"—would get rolling again, writes Henry S. Hayward in 'I'he Christ ion Science Mondor. The latter is what some ul us would do, of course, and as an old train enthusiast myself, I really don't mind when there's a delay; it means prolonging u method of transport which I en- joy that much longer, Ai any rote, when the Queen finally alighted at King's Lynn, she :riled at the crowds.

Onit'. ISSUE 4 -- 1961 into The Jungles BRITISH YOUTH teaches play in Applicants are "iriviled" into the program by the participate ing governments. They know from the start why they are wanted and what is expected of them, Participating governments arc told that the boys and girls gen- erally have little experience but a strong sense of service, ideal- ism or eagerness to learn, Typi- cal of the volunteers is David Howell, 18,' an apprentice wl'u went from the work bench of a Manchester engineering program to an industrial training center in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya. David teaches African ''.aineee how to use tools; he barters with Indian contractors for raw materials. He converted an NM fire engine into a truck because his eentel' could not afford to buy one. In the evenings David teaches boxing and gymnastics at a boys' club in the slums.

The cause of the sounds remains a mystery, Mystery noises of a similar kind were reported from parts of Sussex about thirty-six years ego but went unexplained. In areas of the West of England, too, continuous humming noises heard over a long period before the first world war were never satisfactorily explained, Some came from a lovely gorge which had the reputation of be- ing haunted but even the super- stitious scoffed at the idea that the sounds were caused by ghosts, Some of the inexplicable noises which have been report- ed from abroad at various times have seemed to be subterranean, Scientific investigation has usual- ly failed to account for them, They have been heard in Italy, Holland, and parts of the United States. In North Georgia is a chain of precipitous mountains known as the Blue Ridge. There, at many different points and in all kinds of wcathei• but invariably to- wards evening, sounds described ;IS resembling those of distant • cannon were heard over a num- ber of years, but no one ever dis- covered what caused them, TEST SPIN — Marine Col. John Glenn, one of the seven asfron- outs training for Project Mercury at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Space Task Group, wears his space suit while sitting in the capsule of the Mercury Procedure trainer, The trainer is used to train the astronauts in the use of manual controls to keep the space capsule in proper altitude while in orbital flight. Stay In School Or Live To Regret It There is 0 grim (yarning to teen-agers in the survey of school "drop -outs" just complet- ed by the United States' Depart- ment of Labour, They are going to have a tougher and tougher time getting jobs. Also they will earn much less over their life spans and job satisfaction will be appreciably lower than it might have been with a finished high school education. The Labour Department stu- died 26,000 students in seven widely scattered areas of the country. The conclusions of the survey are plain and unequi- vocal: Less money; less skilled jobs; less rapid advancement, greater chances of unemploy- ment. One of the surprising items turned up in the survey is the reason most youngsters leave school early. it is not economic necessity. It is just plain bore- dom. In part this may be due to the lower IQ's (on the aver- age) of those who fail to finish high school. In Minnesota, a state advisory committee on employment of youth already Is working on a state program to meet the chal- lenges of youth employment in the 1960s: It is well recognized that the untrained and the un- skilled will have a much more difficult time of it from now on. In a highly technological society there will be fewer and fewer unskilled jobs available. The bright side to this picture is that the demands for the train- ed, the educated, the competent promise a good future to altnost any youngster willing to pre- pare himself. Studies show, in fact, that the demand for skilled youth will exceed the supply in the next decade, The warning is plain: Stay in school', get a high school diplo- ma, go to college if you can, make a definite preparation for your lifework, This would be good advice any time, of course, but it is particularly compelling in this fast moving, rapidly ad- vancing age in which we live.— Minneapolis Star.

She models the crea- tions of Serge Matta. Top Cowboy — From New York State The first time Harry 'Tomp- kins rode a horse was almost the last. A short, slender 14 -year- old, growing up in Peekskill, N,Y., he cleaned out stalls at a local riding academy to earn a free ride, '1 thought you just got on and did it," Tompkins re- calls. " I 'found out different. Afterward, 1 had to hold my pants away from my legs where the skin was rubbed .raw." But he came back for more and last month, as the National Finals Rodeo wound up in Dal- las, 33 -year-old Tompkins, who never stepped out of New York State until he was 20, was firmly established as the top rodeo cowboy in the U.S, With close. to $35,000 earned in 1960, 'Tomp- kins replaced Oklahoma's Jim Shoulders as the national al: - around rodeo champion, 'harry," drawled Shoulders, a leathery cowpoke, "is the .best Yankee I ever saw." After h i s introduction to horses, Tompkins rode every chance he found. Frons cleaning out stalls, he graduated to a job on a dude ranch near Peekskill end then, in 1947, entered the rodeo at New York's Madison Square Garden. "I figured you did it just for fun," he said, "I didn't know you could win money." But Tompkins, without experi- ence, won $315 riding bulls and decided to try the rodeo circuit. In 1948, his first full year ort competition, he became bull rid- ing champion. He repeated in 1949'and 1950 .and, in 1952, won the bull riding and bareback bronc titles, Through his balance (perfect 'ed by tightwire walking) and his surprising strength (he Is only 5 -foot -8 and 152 pounds), Tompkins has gained a reputa- tion as the most stylish of bull riders, "Ile thinks faster than 99 per cent of us,' says hill Linderman, who has (von alni.el a half million dollars in twenty years at rodeo. But last year, in Hutchinson, K a 11 s., 'Tompkins was almost knocked out of 1 o- deoing, Riding a tough bronc, he tore a cartilage in his knee and had to have it removed sur- gically. "You bettor find some- thing else to do," his doctor ad- vised. Tompkins ignored the advice rtnct enjoyed his finest year in !(160, Does he worry now about injuries? • "The most dangerous part of rodcoing," Tompkins said, "is 0 - Mg from one rodeo to another- - hy car or plane." Economy Flight Over From Britain "I told our Alice 1 didn't want any fish an' chips tonight.

We fasten- ed our seat belts, in accordance with instructions. "You're from Lancashire:'" I ventured, as my neighbor drop- ped her left shoe on my right foot and said, "Ke, by guns!" when her other shoe slid out of sight tinder the :eat in front of her "Aye. But I've lived in 'Toronto since 1 was wed.

"But I'm sorry to be leaving," my Lancashire neighbor added, "I've 'ad a champion time with me sister and 'er family. Now we're going to get our dinner." The stewards and stewardesses were pulling down the trays at the back of the seats and supply- ing the passengers with cutlery. "Turkey," said the man on the aisle end of our row, "a regular dinner, and it's nearly midnight." "We shall get breakfast too," our experienced Lancashire friend informed us, "before we get to Boston. Happen at three in the morning. We're due there at five. 1 'ope that turkey's ten- der, on account of me new teeth. That's one thing I went 'ome for this year. I needed a new set and got 'em free," Then it was true! One of my Yorkshire friends had told me, "The Americans are coming over here for free teeth and spectacles and operations." "Americans" to him.included Canadians. I could- n't imagine any of my friends in the United States trying to get either medical or dental care free, especially after seeing the queues outside the surgeries. The reports had varied: "If you want to go on the panel," one Yorkshireman said to one, "you don't really know that you'll get a proper examina- tion. We've two doctors for the panel in my district. One Eng- lish, the other a Pole. We all try to get the Pole. He does ex- amine you. Seems to care about you. Aye, aye, 1 know there's always a long queue, and a lot of folk that never would have gone to a doctor before go now if they've nobbut a scratch on their finger." "Our Alice's lasses are going to university," any Lancashire plane companion informed me, hastily withdrawing a turkey drumstick from the tip of my nose and drawing her elbows . closer to her side. 1 tried to work any arms loose for action on my own dinner. "They dan go free, can't they? '!'hat's wonderful." "Aye. That's grand — right through high school and univer- sity. When I was a lass you'd to pay for both." Miss Ramsey had talked to me about that, I recalled the week before. My former Latin teach- er, now retired, happily engaged in papering and painting her own house, and taking lessons in dressmaking at the Technical College, had approved of the free education but deplored the willynilly allowances for chil- dren. "Getting paid large sums just. • for having children," she complained, "it's unjust to the spinsters. There's a family in the next street. W4'ith allowances for school children, and some of them are teen-agers earning high wages, they've 0 total of forty - I five pounds a week coining in. And tate elderly spinster next door to them, with an income of two or three pounds a week. has to pay the sante taxes." 1 remembered asking her why people did not take such things up with their representatives in gore nment. "Well," she said slowly, "I've thought about do- ing that, myself. But. really, their common-sense should tell Ihcnt, shouldn't it? They should know what's wrong without any letters from lie." "How do you like the painted doors?" 1 asked my seat com- panion, to take her mind off the fact that 1 was gently removing her overnight bag from between my feet and depositing it be- tween her own feet. • CLASSIFIED AGENTS AGENTS WANTED MALE or female: Would you bo inter- ested to sell Han Lon Sweaters direct to wearer?

She was the 200th person to plunge from the bridge, mak- ing it possibly the most lethal span in the world as well as the longest and most beautiful. The 200 have included dis- traught men and women from all walks of life—businessmen, laborers, Skied Row burns, house- wives; the young and the old. (Their average age: 47). Only me of them survived the plunge, pretty Cornelia Van lcrland, On e September afternoon in 1941, the 22 -year-old San Francisco girl jumped from the bridge "on a sudden impulse." Falling feet first, her body upturned by the gusts that swirl around the Golden Gate, she sliced cleanly Into the water, suffering only bone fractures in her arms and back. What is this fatal attraction the Golden Gate Bridge has? Why did Wobber jump from it? Or Miss Van Ierland? Or Mrs. Mazurek, who didn't leave a note explaining and whose husband said "she had been very cheer- ful"? San Franciscans, who take a grisly pride in the span's re- cord of death, have a dozen dif- ferent theories. Dr. S. I. Haya- kawa, the noted authority on general semantics and professor s;f language arts at San Fran- cisco State College, thinks it's the very beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge that draws those bent on self-destruction, if only unconsciously. "The fact that suicide is many times more fre- quent off the Golden Gate Bridge (than any other) , , , is a com- ment on both the esthetics and psychology of suicide." — From NEWSWEEK. Coral Gardens Under The Sea The following day we decide io explore the deeper water be- yond the reef and requisition a plass-bottom boat for the pur- pose. Although it is July, and mid- winter, the cloudless sky provides a comfortable warmth as we lazily paddle our boat over the rnirrorlike surface beyond the reef where the water is twenty or thirty feet deep. Here the coral, never exposed to the re- tarding influence of the air, never battered by waves churn- ed up by an angry wind, is free to grow in almost limitless pro- fusion and it reaches a size never attained in the shallow water of he lagoon.

What can you do for a cold then? "Stay home, take a hot bath, go to bed, avoid drafts, keep well covered," advised the popular journal. "Treat your cold as an infectious disease: Cover all. coughs and sneezes. You can't drown, dry up, or starve a cold, so eat an adequate diet. When you have to, blow your nose gently through both sides, Use a steam kettle or vaporizer to re- lieve nasal congestion. If your cold persists for more than a a week, or if you have more than three or lour colds a year, see your doctor."

TABLL TALKS eJam Brownies --- those delectable chocolate concoctions midway between cooky and cake — are almost universally enjoyed in Canada and the United States, Yet, more often than not, one finds them poorly made. Of course there's always the possi- bility of difference of opinion in what makes a good brownie. I'm of the school which con- tends a dry brownie something to give the birds for their morn- ing feast of crumbs. Some years ago I found a pratically fool- proof recipe which makes moist, tender brownies; and, because the stirring together takes only cne dish and requires no cream- ing it is simplicity itself. The recipe calls for halt a cup of butter, which in this country' is 1/4 of a pound, or one "stick," This is to be melted with 2 "squares," or ounces, of unsweet- ened baking chocolate. I put the stick of butter in an aluminum saucepan, perch the square* of chocolate, cut in hall, on top of the butter, and place the pan over very low heat. By the time most of the but ter has melted, the chocolate is soft and melts too. Doing it this way keeps the chocolate from sticking to the pan, and elimin- ates the necessity of using a double boiler, Be sure to stir 1t now and then as it melts. Remove the pan from heat, add a cup of granulated sugar, and let the mixture cool 2 or 3 minutes. Then put in '/a tea- spoon of salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla flavouring and 2 eggs, one at a time and unbeaten, Stir the mix- ture until the first egg is well blended, then add the other egg and stir again thoroughly. The only other ingredients are % cup cake flour, I/2 teaspoon baking powder, and ?a cup chop- ped nuts. It's a good idea to pre- pare the nuts (I always use walnuts) before you start the rest of the recipe, for these brownies go together very quick - 1y. And 1 usually sift and mea- sure the flour beforehand, too, writes Gertrude 1', Lancaster in the Christian Science Monitor. This recipe can be made with ordinary pastry flour, but if you do, use a skimpy !a cup, for pas try flour is heavier and will make brownies more sold unless less flow' is used, Perhaps 1 should add, for the benefit of our British friends, that the "cup" used here is an 8 -ounce fluid measure. The flour, baking powder, and walnuts should be added in that order to the chocolate mixture. 1 usually add flour in two por- (1015, stirring after the first, and 1 toss the baking powder in with the second portion. It's a gond idea to add the nuts before the second portion of flour is all stirred up. This lets the rel meats become coated with flour and prevents their sinking In the bottom of the batter. • • • The batter should be poured The Congo, one-third as largo os the United Stales, has been sliced up by differing factions.

A fl- inch pan can be used, but the brownies will be thinner, of course, and should be cooked Tess long. For an 8 -inch pan, I cook them 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F. Mine is a quick oven, and 20 minutes often does the trick, but a little experience will tell you snow long you want to cook then. I'd rather undercook than over- cook, for they tend to continue cooking after they are removed from the oven, and overcooking produces the dryness which I like to avoid, ♦ . • OItAhN'GE - CRANBERRY MOLD 2 tablespoons plain gelatin 1,4'1 cup cold water Vs/ cup hot water 3 cups orange juice ;'i cup sugar 1 cup cranberries, chopped Grated rind of 1 lemon and 1 orange 1 orange, peeled and cut Into chunks 1,4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans Soak gelatin in cold water 5 minutes; add hot water and dis- solve gelatin, Stir in orange juice and sugar, Pour enough of this mixture Into mold to form 1/2 -inch layer (for a party touch, decorate this layer with a few halved cranberries), Allow to set, Stir cranberries, fruit peels, orange chunks, and nuts into re- n-aaining gelatin mixture.

For days, producer Leland Hay- ward waited vainly for good weather to repeat the outdoor scene. Finally he gave up and ordered the cast to Key West, Fla. Then he ran into another snag: Carmen de Lavallade, who plays Bess, was appearing in an off-Broadway show, "Ballet Bal- lads." How to free her?

And Now The Ducks Have Their Doubts! Should anybody ho wi,rrying about my ducks, he it known that my dudes are now worrying about me, They have foiled that 1 don't float worth a cent. This has a nugatory effect on any in- fluence amongst them, for' the way 1 quack they thought I was a duck, too. They now know het - ter. I quack rather well, really being a longtime student of the articulate Mallard. 1 can step out on my doorstep in the bracing air of a country morning, make a couple of quacks with such facility as seldom accrues to humans and set the wholc duck - pond in a tizzy of excitement, The 'flock quack back with cre- dulity, and confide in me with their most secret thoughts. Fur- thermore, I can make not nnly the quieter quack of the green- head drake, which is cozier and limited in range, but the high, raucous quack of the female as well -- which will slap against a distant barn and set the wild echoes crying all up and down the Ridge. I am not only just a duck, 1 ata two ducks. So they rally to my remarks and feel I am one of them The other day when I rounded them up and inserted then) in the weather -tight coop where they customarily pass the discontent- ful winter, they spoke sharply to me about freedom and liberty and due process and impugned my intelligence. I told them the weatherman was even now in- sisting that an old bruiser of a blizzard was due, and in spite of their strong arguments I would have to be adamant. I told them all this in patient quacks, but they knew more than T did. I closed the door and ad- justed the button and as I walk- ed away I could hear them dis- cussing me liberally, and mak- ing coarse comments I would not now care to repeat. They seemed to think that for a duck, I was a nut. But the weatherman proved to be correct, and shortly the storm settled in and it was indeed a rouser. By morning we had a foot of lovely snow, and I sup- posed the ducks would be grate- ful for my foresight. With the morning wind still whipping the township I filled a bucket with warm water and waded through the drifts to bring them a drink. I quacked pleasantly as I ap- proached the coop, expecting an answering greeting, and perhaps sone of the chummy sass I elicit by some of the things I say. They did not answer, however, and I opened the door to find the encompassed ducks unen- conpassed, The wind had snaked a pane of glass from one of the windows, and during the night my flock had flown forth, This must have been something to see. Ducks can't jump like a hen and they had to effect this exit on pinions, How they took off inside the smallish coop and so fretted their wings that they had them drawn close at the precise instant of negotiating a seven -by -nine opening, one at a 'time, must have been a -whole new concept of flight. Some artists in mobiles should try to express this, A flock of ducks erupting in order from a broken window suggests an unerring accuracy beyond belief, and I'm sure if I'd seen it I'd have doubted. Next I had the task of perus- ing the acreage to find them, While New York and Boston were lamenting traffic delays and the drop-off in holiday busi- ness, 1 was trudging the farm, quacking away like a good one, and wondering if any flock had really kept on going to Alab:rnma. They had not. In the wind, soon, I heard an answering quack from from the pond, and I walked CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS River (Sp.) 1. Portable light B.Prom a distance r . Re at fault 1 .

Then 1 edged out to see if I could persuade them to leave the springholc and move to- wards the coop. I told them I would repair the window and re- store former comfort.

I continued to quack, but my ef- forts to swim were not convinc- ing. The ducks stared at me from their blankets of snow, disbelief in their eyes, and seemed to won- der how anybody who could quack so good could swim so bad. Let me not dwell too closely on the ensuite. 1 successfully gain the merge, and proceed in- tently toward the house. Behind me, in the whistling of the wind follow the jeering remarks of my friends.

I ant said to have bounded ii1to the kitchen with a clinking noise, and to have recumbented myself on the floor to lift my heels into the air and allow about eight gal- lons of tingling moisture to flow forth on the floor, And so on. I muttered some, and chattered. And sat all afternoon. The next day I tried again and got the ducks inside, setting the glass. But they stared at me with unr believing eyes, and seemed to doubt. I think they have conclud- ed I am not a duck at all. By John Gould in the Christian Science Monitor.

He is one of 280 puppies entered in the Hoosier Kennel Club's annual puppy match. TllfFARM FONT hn'pu li Although it is too early to be sure of the ultimate result, the deficiency payment system of price support for eggs seems to have brought production into a more realistic relationship with demand, A. D. Davey of the Canada Department of Agricul- ture, told United States poultry- men recently. The director of the depart- ment's Poultry Division, spoke tc the Midwestern Regional Convention of the American Poultry and Hatchery Federa- tion at Chicago in December. « • • He described stabilization policy In detail including the old offer -to -purchase program for eggs and the deficiency pay- ment program which superseded it in October, 1959. Although each program as- sures a minimum level per dozen - the offer -to -purchase progritin establishing a base and the de- ficiency payment program an average for the year - the form- er program could result in high- er returns to producers due to the seasonal pattern of prices above the base or average set. The important feature of the deficiency payment program is that it permits the product to be sold at prices that more truly reflect supply and demand and gives less incentive to production expansion. Produc- tion expansion became a very serious problem as related to the Canadian Stabilization pro- gram for shell eggs. 4, • k It was decided to support the price of eggs at 33 cents per dozen at the producer level, this being comparable to the former 44 cents at wholesale level un- der the old support -by -purchase program. The deficiency pay- ment would be equal to ,.the amount by which the national average price received by pro- ducers fell below the support price over a 12 -month period, starting Oct, I, 1959. Payments were limited to a mazimum of 4,000 dozen Grade A Large and Extra Large eggs marketed by each registered producer in that period, 4, n 4 Mr. Davey said charges were made that the large producer was being discriminated against. The fact was the department had to find a way of reducing the average price of those producers who, because of their large scale and highly efficient opera- tions, were mainly responsible for the big increase in egg out- I put. By limiting the payments in this way it was assured that the total paid to the. large pro- ducers would not be enough to raise significantly the average price pc'r dozen they received, 4' 4, As the large-scale commercial producers were the ones who had expanded most it followed that they were least in need of price support. On the other hand, those svho had the greatest need - the small producers - were given the largest measure of support. The quota eligible foi defi- ciency payment was related to a flock of say 500 birds from which would be marketed eight dozen grade A Large size eggs per bird per year. Some felt that this basis was low, but after one year of operation the pre- liminary records show that the national average production per bird is a fraction of one per cent below the figure of eight dozen eggs of this grade. • • Another criticism was that the quota fixed would encourage the small producer to expand up to the limits for which he could receive support and thus defeat the very object in mind. In fact the small producer had just as much support under the offer- -to -purchase program as he does under the deficiency program and if he had wanted to expand he could just as well have done so under the old program. One year's operation seems to bear out this thesis, said Mr, Davey. to 11 was also claimed that the decision to make a uniform de- ficiency payment to producers regardless of regional differences . was inequitable and that those producers in lower market price legions should get larger de- ficiency payments, Such price regions, said Mr. Davey, are the result of differences in geo- graphic location in relation to retail outlets, differences in time of marketing and differ- ences of bargaining skills, etc. It was not intended that a price support program should iron out these normal differences which have always existed, Registration of producers was essential to the success of the price support program. Only one registration was allowed for each flock although many in- quiries were received from families wishing to divide up their flocks to secure more than one registration, Russian Chickens Not To Blame Spurred by their ambition to "surpass the captialist U.S.," So- viet farms and factories are belt- ing out everything from pigs to pig iron, But somewhere, somne- one goofed; forgot about pillows, A few weeks ago, Trade Min- ister Dmnitri Pavolv announced that there were only enough feathers to meet 15 per cent of the Soviet public's annual de- mand for pillows. "He wasn't telling Muscovites anything they didn't know," cabled Newsweek's Moscow" bureau chief Whitman Bassow. "Most Russian families have to wait for at least a year for new pillows. Some newly- weds have been known to cut pillows in two'so that each can have one. There is even a black market, with peasants getting as notch as 5 rubles (about $8.50) to snake up pillows on the sly. Yet even the black marketeers have to wait six months -until the chickens come through," Are the chickens to blame? Not at all, clucked the party organ, Pravda. "It's the system." In all of Moscow, said Pravda, there'., only one dilapidated pil- low factory. I1 dries its feathers in an open-air courtyard, and when the wind blows --whoosh go the feathers. "We asked the Moscow Eco- nomic Council for new drying machinery," said factory director Elena Novikova, ''but they only thumbed their noses at us." What Russia needs to solve its pillow shortage are some hard heads. Famous Manuscript To Be Decoded Surrounded by surplus mum- mies shrouded in plastic bags, I o r w e r t h Edwards, birdlike keeper of Egyptian antiquities at the British Museum, began work last week on a task which might have shaken a more impression- able soul. Ignoring the ominous lore that surrounds things rifled iron) tombs, he began decoding a 22 -foot -long papyrus known as a Book of the Dead, a kind of passport to eternity buried with Pharaohs, who extolled their vir- tees to the God Osiris. Because the superstitius donor, Sir Archibald C. Campbell, thought it unlucky to open It, the scroll had languished un- touched since 1874, when he bought it from Egyptian grave robbers. Not until the estate of his daughter was settled last fall did the museum receive the La - quest. After unraveling 1 foot of the wheat -colored papyrus, Egyptol- ogist Edwards knew he had a unique find. The papyrus be- longed to Pinudjem, a hip,h priest of the Pharaoh Siamun (1000 to 984 B.C.), whose daughter was married 10 Kirg Solomon, It is an exceptionally long Book of the Dead, written in elegant hieratic character script, rather than the more complicated hieroglyphics usu- ally found in such scrolls. With scholarly restraint, Ed- wards reported that the text is "of great interest to scholars ... But we don't expect any inside information about palace skul- duggery, harem intrigues, of priestly treachery from this scroll," Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking V 19MN f115 4 3 9 5 Nal bwvb 91NV .

Memory Selection; Verily, verilyy I say unto you, Ile that heareth 411y word, and belleveth on hitt that sent toe, hath everlastInff life, and shall not come limo con- demnation: but is passed from death unto life. John 5:21. When Jesus performed a mire acle, discussion usually followed,. On this occasion the Jews crl• ticized because the healing had been perforated on the Sabbath. But first, lit us look at the mire Acle. Jesus seeing this im'alia of 38 years, asked him if he willed to be made whole. Of coulee he did. That was why he was sitting by this pool. But hope had well nigh given way to despair. Jesus chat• lenged him further, saying, "Rise, take up they bed, and walk." This called for resolution and faith. He responded. He believed. He undertook to do as the Lord bade him and found he was able to do so. baler, Jesus m:'eting him in the temple gave him warning, "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing conte upon thee " The Jews first found fault be. cause this man was carrying hie bed on the sabbath. If one ie against, a cause, it take's a very little thing to evoke criticism. Wct need to carefully evaluate our motives before we criticize. If it is in order to rescue a sheep that has fallen into a pit on the sab- hath, surely it was in order to heal this man and for him to take his blanket with him. Jesus said on another occasion, "The sab- bath was made for man. and not wan for the sabbath: therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath," What Jesus had done was in keeping with the words of Isaiah, (58:13,14) "If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a de- light, the holy of the LORD, hon- ourable. and shalt honour hit>}1 not doing thine own ways, nr5r speaking thine own words; thou speakig thine own words: thou shalt delight thyself in the Lord," Many people want to disregard the Lord's Day and seek their own pleasures. Promoters of commercialized sport and theatre owners want to make more money. Communists are glad to see a further weakening of the worship attitude, We greatly need a moving of God's Holy Spirit that will move us to seek the Lord and obey Him.
