Carried, Hockey Notes The past week has been a bad one for local hockey teams, as neither the intermediate or bantams could manage to add points to their win column Last Tuesday night at the Seaforth Arena the Legionnaires tangled with St. Columban In a rough and tumble affair that ended at the start of the third period, when the Blyth coach, ,Scott Fairservice, pulled his team from; the ice. It seems that the St. Columban 1 boys were carrying their sticks migljty, high and dealt some wicked blows ,to some of the local players. Albert Smythe received a broken ankle when] he Piet up with one of the opposing , players behind the net, and is now re- cuperating In hospital, at Wingham, Jiro Fester was the recipient of a deep gash on his forehead, requiring 8 stitches to close. Bob Carter also received a blow from a high stick and had to contend with a very tender neck for several, days. Word has not yet been receiver. ds to what action the officials will take in dealing with 'the Blyth coach for refusing to play the final period, but from all reports, one is led to believe that Scott made the best possible de- cision under such circumstances. j Incidentally, St. Columban was lead- ing in the game by a 5 to 2 score when Blyth departed from the ice, . On Friday night the Legionnaires again went down to defeat at the hands of Winthrop at a game played In the local arena. The first two periods saw a very even contest with the score tied 3 to 3 at the end of the second, but the roof fell in on the local squad and Winthrop broke loose for three un- answered goals in the third stanza. The boys returned the Winthrop vis- it on Tuesday night and did not fare nearly as well, dropping a 7 to 0 de- cision, The next home game will be this Friday evening when the Legionnaires play host to Atwood. Be sure to be on hand and give the boys your support. More interest from local fans would no doubt add enthusiasm to the Blyth teams and help rid themselves of a very bad defeatist attitude, Tile Blyth Lions Bantams played, two games over the past week and also lost both encounters, Last Wednesday' night they wend down to a close 5 to 4 defeat at the hands of the visiting Lucknow boys.' On Thursday evening they lost 5 to 1 to Ripley, with Terry Madill scoring the only Blyth goal. The boys are now entering the play -I offs with Lucknow and Ripley and' play their first game in Lucknow on Wednesday night. Dates of future games have not yet been announced.

George Sloan, Clerk, OBITUARY MRS. ESTELLA POULTON Mrs, .Estella Poulton of 61 Gerrard Street, ,London, passed away quietly on 'January 30, 1961, in VIctoria Hospital, in her 81st year, She was born in Lorain, ,Ohio, and came to London in 1945, Her husband the late T, J. Poulton passed affray De- cember' 7. 1960, Surviving are one sister, Mrs. Blanche Gemeiner, of Lorain, and sev- eral eweral nieces sand nephews. A memorial service was held at the Millard George Funeral Home, London, on Wednesday evening, February 1st. The next day the remains were for- warded for committal in the Elmwood Cemetery, Lorain, Ohio, Rev, Elgin G. Turnbull, of London, conducted the memorial service• and spoke from the 8th verse of the 14th chapter of Mark's Gospel "She hath done what she could." When life draws, to a close it is very natural and proper that we should try to gather up in a few words what we think the departed person has stood for. Often we talk about brilliant outstanding qualities and achievement, and undoubtedly it is good to mention such things. But there is another quality that we some- times forget •- and yet it's the thing the Bible rates most highly, That quality is faithfulness, reliability, dependabil- ity. And as we gather here for this memorial service to Mrs, Poulton we are remembering how this quality shone forth from her personality. She too did what she could. She took her place and did her part -• and stood loy- ally beside the dear comrade who pre- deceased her by only a few weeks. And so we salute her memory, and thank God for her presence and her witness, We have gathered here to pay our trib- ute of respect and affection, and to re- mind ourselves of the great Christian hope that Ictunan life has survival val- ue•— that there Is a place reserved for the faithful in the mansions of the Father's House on high, • In the Blyth Memorial Hall on Fri- day, February 10, for Mr. and Mrs. RECEPTION REPORT OF BLYTII PUBLIC LIBRARY , Following is a yearly report of the Blyth Public Library as of December 31st. 1960: Circulation of books in 1960 was 2,477 an increase of 77 over 1959.

Weaving Has Become A Family Project The following article appeared in a recent issue of the Toronto Globe & Mall and was written by Ruby Hewitt Brown. Not too many families have the same hobby. But in Hamilton, Rev, Charles Scott and Mrs. Scott, and their two ' children Jamie and Becky Ann make weaving a family project, The idea was born a few years ago in Nova Scotia when Mrs, Scott, then unmarried, worked as secretary to the minister of agriculture, next to the handcrafts branch of the Department 'of Industries. This government branch encourages handcraft work, marketing all articles that conte in which meet certain specifications. Looms are lent by the year to potential weavers, The work she saw here intrigued Mrs. Scott. But it was not until she was married and living in Sarnia, that Mrs. Scott tried weaving on her own, A handcraft organization asked to use one of their church rooms, and Mr. and Mrs. Scott, who is also from Nova Scotia, signed up for the courses. Mr, Scott found it a , complete relaxation from his ministerial work, and has since become the most venturesome one in the fancily In the :u't of w+nvin�i. lir plans the really elaborate patterns for dress and coat goods, and works on them producing splendid results.

The waist ma- terial was plain, but the skirt , of the same basic material had intriguing three -quarter -inch stripes through it. some of this striped goods made cuffs and other trimmings for the waist. Among the woven things, I saw, were a smart sports jacket of Mr. Scott's: wool' dress yardage of a beautiful gar- net colour, flecked with silver; heavy wool coat material in a brown plaid; table mats and scarves, Jamie, 11, is an expert weaver now, and Becky Ann, 7, helps by putting on the warps, and looks forward to the time when she, too, will be a full-fledg- er weaver, The family own a 4 -harness Niluske Clerc loom, which lives in a sunny cor- ner of an upstairs sitting -room, It came with French instructions, and the Scotts were some time translating and figuring out how to apply then to the intricate machine. Finally, they got it going and soon afterward Mrs, Scott visited Nova Scotia and took a weaving course on that type of loom. (This gov- ernment-sponsored ooernment-sponsored summer school was conducted by Miss Adele lives in Fundy Bay Park.) A different handcrafts course had Woe taken by the'Scotts shortly after they trete married. This was rt1 - hooking, and was a great boon to them when they were appointed to a tniSsiott at Kennccot, where reel eational oppor• tunnies were few.

Mr. and Mrs, Boyd Tay- lor will attend this meeting. Fair reports by the various commit- tees were given by the convenors: Lorne Ilunking, for Beef Cattle re- ported, "A good Hereford Show, from four exhibitors. Other breeds not so good." The quality was very good, but lacked numbers, Simon Hallahan reported a good showing of Dairy Cattle, but not enough competition. Walter Scott said, There was an out- standing show of sheep. Ab. Bacon cannot understand why more people do not exhibit hogs, but was pleased they had five exhibitors. exhibitors. Wm. Gow reported on the field crop of corn. There were twenty competi- tors, and sonic good fields, consider- ing the dry weather. Mr, Gow would like to have more complete the compo tition by exhibiting at the Fair. Mrs. L. Scrimgeour, convenor of Do- mestic Science, reported the entries In her department were up considerably, and quality on a par with other years. Mrs. W.

LETTERS FROM SUBSCRIBERS 210W - 13th Street, North Vancouver, B.C. Dear Mrs, Whitmore: I still enjoy reading the Blyth Standard although . many of the names are not familiar to me now but there are still enough to make the news very interesting. Not to long ago I saw where Mr. J, Sims had celebrated his birthday. He is a good Mrs. J. S. Chellew stated, there were, fellow and one of best boosters that more entries in the Needlework, Arta ! Blyth has ever had. Glad to know that and Crafts and the quality was excel- he was in very good health and able to lent. write very interesting letters. Mrs. Clem Galbraith reported for the Enclosed . find money order for the Junior section, stating, there was mucic renewal of Standard for the next two enthusiasm, and fe't sure if the classes; Years. Kindest regards to yourself and were enlarged; they would be filled. tall friends.; I like the set up of the Standard and think that you have done well since taking over. I am sure that it is not too easy a job at any time, Kindest Diplomas of merit wore presented to Gilbert Nethery and Wm.' Gow both Past presidents of the Society. Albert Bacon made the presentations, and ' Tamblyn and Lorne Hunking read Qudresses expressing appreciation to the two recipients. Mr. Doug Miles suggested that the prize list for Juniors in livestock be revised, as there are in his opinion, too many duplications, but he assured the Society "That as long as Blyth holds a Fair and extends an invitation, we will co-operate, and hold our Cham- pionship show here." The dates of the annual Provincial Convention was announced as February 22nd and 23rd, It- was suggested the president and chairman of the Ladles committee attend the convention. Ways and means of creating an in- terest in the fair, in the village and community was discussed. In Mr. Doug Mills address, he stated, "The problem you have been facing to- day is no different than what most other societies are facing. We have to take a serious look at our whole county which is strictly Agricultural. "You have a community in Blyth, and it Is your right to have a Fair" but we have to take n look at ourselves, and change our way of thinking." "Voluntary la- bor is not going to be as available as it once was." Set the stage for the chang- ing outlook of the agricultural people. You need, and your community needs, a show window for Agriculture, and that is your Fair." Mr, Clem Steffler, president of Brus- sels Society, brought greetings. Mr. Jim Mair, vice-president of the Provincial Agricultural Societies Board, stated, "The small fair is not the cul- prit. If a society is living up to ins obligations, it matters not whether it be a small or large fair., People are apt to attend a fair as a spectator rather than a participant." Mr, Mair presided for the election oil the required twelve directors: Bill Tay- lor, Walter Scott, Laurence Nesbit, Ab. Bacon, Robert Henry, Bill Gow, Jim • McCall, Lorne Ilunking, Boyd Taylor, George Watt, George Nesbitt, Orval McGowan. From the Board of Directors the Ex- ecutive was elected, namely, Past Pre- sident, George Watt; President, Albert Bacon; 1st. vice-president, Jim McCall; 2nd vice-president, Lorne Hunking. The dates for the fair were set ns September 19 and 20th. 'K• regards, E: W, McGill.

FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE TO MEET The Febraary meeting of the Friend- ship Cirele velli be held In the church schoolroom on Tuesday, February 14. at 0.15 p.m, Members are to bring a ;:,'dent, An Author Visits The Aran Islands Synge's first visit in 1893 last- ed from May 10th to June 25th, with two weeks spent on the main island and four on the mid- dle island. He returned in the four succeeding summers and spent altogether a little more than four and a half months in the islands. Ills book The Aran Islands is based on his first four v;sits, .. . Ile saw on Aran a life that had all but disappeared from the !est cf Ireland. The women all dre.,s- ed in red flannel skirts and plaid shawls, se lurid against the efts background of limestone shelf and sandy shore, the men in blue turtleneck sweaters, homespun trousers and vests, grey as the rock, and wearing the kind cf cowhide moccasin called a pant. pootic, ideal tor walking cat - footed over the rocks or for row• ing a curragh, the traditional canoe c t the west of Ireland made of tarred canvas and laths. The islands are limestone shelf, sloping gradually from sea level on the eastern side upwards to precipitous cliffs on thewestern side, which in some places tower three hundred feet above the seas. On the brink ao the highest of these cliffs on Inishmore is Dun Aengus, an ancient stone fort of gigantic proportions shap- ed like a horseshoe and surroun- ded by three rings of outer fat li- fications which impede the steps of the visitor who toils up the hill as they did the approach cf an attacking army in the cent- uries before Christ. Dun Acngus is only one of 'tour such megalithic constructions on Inishmore.. All three islands have very little ground which has not been cleared by sledgehammer and fertilized with seaweed brought tip from the sea in panniers slung over the sides of donkeys. Keeping the soil, so laboriously created, from sliding down into the sea is achieved by building stone walls, so that all three is- lands present a maze of small f'elds enclosed by inter -locking walls, broken only by the road which bisects each of the islands. Since there are no bogs, all the turf burned on the islands is brought from Connemara. - In the springtime the cattle, which have been foraging among the rocks all winter, are shipped to the mainland for fattening on Connemara grass, and one of the great sights on Aran is the is- landers swimming their cows out from shore behind their curraghs to be hoisted aboard the steamer, One man kneels in the stern, watching for the thrashing legs to tire before he seizes the frightened animal by the horns maneuvers her onto her side and brings her head to rest on the stern. Synge's book about Aran is the best account one could ask for of the daily life of the people -- ut the way they burned kelp, fished from a curragh or hud- dled in their darkened cottages and spoke in hushed whispers when the islands were lashed by storms. But it is also an inter- esting document in the case his- tory of a writer's evolution. — Froni "J. M. Synge," by David H. Greene and Edward M. Ste- phens. She Makes Dummies For The Movies The movie is "Elmer Gantry." Jean Simmons stands in the mid- dle of the flaming tabernacle, looking around and waving her arms to calm her flock—but it is not really Miss Simons, It is a dummy manipulated by wires, The movie is "Hatari," now shooting in Tanganyika. In it, John Wayne, Gerard Blain, and Elsa Martinelli get some rough treatment from stampeding ele- phants and other wild animals, But it will not really be Wayne or Blain or Martinelli pummeled by the pachyderms—it will he dummies. The movie was "Gone With the Wind," and, in a famous scene, the railroad station was filled with wounded and dying soldiers. A few were extras, sew.- ' hundred of them well dummies. All these figures are the prod- uct of the Stubergh Waxworks, a third -generation tamily firm in Los Angeles now run by at- tractive, dark-haired Katherine Stubergh. Dummies have fig- ured in films ever since 1926, whcr. Miss Stubergh's parents brot,rht their wax -figure busi• nese from San Francisco to Los Angeles (because of the melting- ly hot lights, fiber glass general- ly replaces wax in movie duo• mice). The company had beef, doundecl in 1899 by grandfather .Jacob Spicles, who began mak- ing' store -window dummies in New York and, in 1900, sent his daughter out to San Francisco to open a branch. The company still makes store and advertising dummies, and now works heay. By in television also; durine World \V:tr 11, Katherine Stu- bergh and her mother, who died tact March, helped out the shurthandtd studios by making props and whole sets in their own shop. , As might be expected, the standing nt the dummy in the metric World is an ambiguous one. Largely as a result of the big railroad -statim scene in "Gone \Vith the \Vinci," movie onions wrote a rule that, for every dummy used in a film, a live actor most also be ?tending by, According to the same rul- ing, if a dummy baby is used, the studio must also pay a live, stand-by baby. Dummy soldiers, cowboys, and babies are the Stubergh firm's biggest source of movie revenue, Usually, most soldiers in large battlefield scenes are dummies, which hold their places better and complain less than humans. Most action movies use dummies somewhere to save wear and teal on the actors. Baby dum- mies are in demand mostly be- cause real babies are not allow- ed to be in front of a camera for very long at a stretch. The Stubergh babies, incidentally, are made before the parts are cast; the studio then picks a baby that look: like the dummy. Where the Stubergh job gets difficult is in duplicating famous actors. Miss Stubergh sometimes makes a plaster-of-Paris mold of the star's face, but "anything you make with a mask has a tense, unpleasant expression," so she prefers to sculpt heads from photographs, "It's not enough to have a likeness of the face," says Miss Stubergh. "Everyone stands differently, and you have to take their body and even head con- tours into consideration. But the faces are the hardest. The most difficult face I ever did was the young Clark Gable. The older a person gets, the easier it is to make a good likeness. When faces are young and soft, they don't have enough character lines and expressions. Greta Garbo has the most magnificent face of all time." Miss Stubergh currently has an order for 100 figures of fa- mous stars for the movie mu- seum being planned by the city of Los Angeles, and is working on her figure of Marilyn Mon- roe. "It isn't easy," she sighed. "Marilyn has a soft face , , , For a museum you must create the figure to look the way the public thinks the person looks, For a movie, you make the figure the way the person really looks, so that it will photograph like the public image." — From NEWS - WEEK. NOT BITTER—JUST ACID The time had come, a Wallis said, to talk of many things — but one thing came first: "To tell the world what I think about the treatment of my husband by his family, the British Government, and many of his countrymen." After nearly a quarter century of dutiful silence, the Duchess of Windsor spoke her mind in Mc - Call's (which she has joined as a contributor—at $3,000 a month, the same sum the magazine pays Eleanor Roosevelt and Clare Boothe Luce), And what did she think of the way England treat- ed the Duke of Windsor? Dis- claiming any bitterness — but sounding as bitter as only a wo- man royally scorned can sound —the duchess wrote: "For 24 years, my husband has been punished, like a small boy who gets a spanking every day of his life for a single transgression."

The m'rror is in the home of her dad, Herb Miller. syT�A�LE T Making yeast bread is certain- ly far from being a lost art, but on the other hand there's many a home today where the tantal- izing shell of freshly baked bread has never entered. Per- haps this is due to a conviction among young homemakers that breadmaking is difficult, beset with hazards, • • Let me tell you about my neighbor's bread. The week be- fore Christmas she and her fam- ily were going to Massachusetts for the holidays. They had plan- ned to leave on Wednesday, but forecasts of a heavy storm for that day prompted them to de- cide on Tuesday morning to leave just•as soon as they could pack, The mother of the house- hold was caught in the midst of putting bread to rise, Undaunt- ed, she proceeded as usual, and when they drove out of their dooryard, the bread was repos- ing in its pan in the luggage compartment. My friend knew that the cold air would retard its rising somewhat, • Some three hours later they stopped in Portland, Maine, on business, and while her husband was gone, my neighbor unlocked the luggage compartment, took the cloth covering from the pan of bread dough, and, protecting her hands with wax paper, which was also over the bread, she kneaded it vigorously in the pan. Momentarily she wondered what any passer-by might think, but that bread was important! * On arrival in Massachusetts a few hours later, the bread was made into loaves, put in baking dishes, allowed to rise normally, and cooked. Her . daughter-in- law told my neighbor that she wished the family's bread might always go through this process, for she thought it the hest her mother-in-law had ever made! If this proves anything, it may be that breadmaking can be ta- ken a little more casually than ISSUE 6 — 1961 one night think, 1 have a recipe for crispy French bread which 1 have used for years, always with success. I usually make it when I have a clay at home of comparative quiet—when letter writing, mending, or other such tasks can readily be interrupted for occasional attention to rising dough, writes Gertrude P. Lan- caster in the Christian Science Monitor. • The ingredients are few and simple. Dissolve 1 envelope or cake of yeast in 1 cup of luke- warm water. Sift together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 table- spoon sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt, and stir into the flour mix- ture the dissolved yeast. Add as much of one more cup of luke- warm water as is needed to hold the dough together. Mix thor- oughly with a spoon until the dough Is soft and sticky. Cover the pan with a cloth and let rise to double its size— about 2 hours. When the dough is high, punch it down and beat it vigorously with a spoon, Di- vide the dough into two parts and place each in a 6" round baking dish (I use glass casser- oles). Cover these dishes and allow to rise once more until the dough reaches the top of the dish, Brush the tops with melted butter when the dough is ready to bake, and cook at 400° F, for about 40 minutes, or possibly less. Cooked in glass, the loaves will he brown all over the top and . outsides. The texture is coarse, and the outside crunchy. We cut it in wedges as you would a pie—and everyone- al- ways comes back for more. * I had never used herbs much in my cooking until I lived in France. There in the Midi where the food is rather highly.fla- vored, I learned to like the extra piquancy which herbs add to the taste of food, and from then on I have used them extensive- ly, writes Margret E. Keatts in the Christian Science Monitor, After returning to the States 1 found that herbs were being used more and more in the American cooking, osl►ecially where there was a deep interest in food and its preparation, Now I find that even in Eng- land, where 1 now make nu' home, herbs are being rather generally accepted, though the food in general here is much more bland than in either the States or France, I heard one Englishman say that his wife had won her way to his heart by serving him some meat sand- wiches well "peppered" with 0 herb seasoning. And he added, "When 1 tasted those sand- wiches, 1 decided right then she would make a good life part- ner•.," One of the fonds which to me is far better with the addition of herbs is chicken.

Make a court -bouillon by put- ting enough -water to cover the chicken in a deep kettle. Add salt, pepper, bouquet garni, gar- lic, carrot, and onion and sim- mer 30 minutes before adding chicken. Let chicken simmer (not boil) in court -bouillon 2 to 3 hours or until tender, Do not overcook or the chicken will not keep its shape. Three quarters of an hour be- fore serving, remove bouquet garni, add washed trice, and con- tinue cooking. The rice will ab- sorb most of the liquid. Serve on deep platter. Remove string or skewers from chicken and serve on a bed of rice. Garnish with -fresh parsley, Bouquet Gan'ni This is used very commonly in French cooking, It consists of 3 or 4 sprigs of parsley, a sprig of thyme, and a small bay leaf. The thyme should be surrounded by the parsley so that the little leaves will not float into the sauce, Tie the herbs together with string so that they may be removed before the dish which they are flavoring is served. Quarter teaspoon of powdered thyme and I teaspoon parsley flakes may be substituted, but in That t:: t the ;:u,'::, , •t be care- fully -.trained lit ante serving.

This set bugles blaring and in- creased the din as elephants, trackers, beaters, and mahuts all. broke from the forest's edge, One mahut fell off his mount and was nearly trampled before the eyes of the crowd. A bull elephant broke loose and headed straight for the grandstand until turned aside by shotgun fire, But at last, the guts blasts and the heaving and tugging of the trained elephants forced the herd across the river and into the stockade, The Kabini ran red with their blood. A second herd repeated much the same performance but a third, numbering 33 elephants, held together tightly and refused to panic despite the fact that 75 rounds of ammunition were fired all told. The reason was a calf was born just after the herd was encircled. T h e mother first taught it to stand by wrapping her trunk around it and pulling it up onto its feet, Then, with . bulls standing guard and the rest of the herd as an escort, the mother walked slowly and carefully . to the river, the calf stumbling along under her lumbering body. In all, 62 elephants were cap- tured -- a total that the mahuts credited to the intervention of Parvathi, goddess wife of Lord Shiva, whose statue sits under a banyan tree in the forest, And the distinguished visitors were delighted by the spectacle, "Mag- nificent," said President Prasad, "Those elephants may• have lost their freedom, but it is really for their own good;" Others were not' so sure. The elephants will be denied food and water until their spirit . Is partially broken, then trained for three months to obey com- mands. Some will die of shock, a few will become so mean they must be turned loose; most will become beasts of burden or cir- cus performers.

Silently and. relentlessly a public enemy is gaining a firmer grip all over Britain. It is ivy, which costs Britain at least £ 10 million a year. through damage to buildings, both ancient and modern. Some people like ivy growths for decorative effect — but mainly on houses and cot- tages they do not themselves occupy. Ivy can do immense harm, un- dermining the structure, causing walls to crumble, and letting in damp. Ivy suckers are tough and treacherous. As a Ministry of Works offi- cial says: "The trouble start's from the roots which after many years' growth infiltrate into the joints of either stone or brick walls and by their great strength burst or.fracture them."

TllFMM FONT Joku A fresh look at petroleum oils for dormant spraysagainst in- sects in orchards is being taken by entomologists, states Dr, J. Marshall at the Research Station of the Canada Department of , Agriculture, Summerland, B.C. • • • When organic phosphate insec- ticides, such as parathion and , malathion, came into general use in the orchards of western North America, the use of dormant oil sprays declined. It was, perhaps, as much a matter of weather and of soil conditions as of effective- ness of the insecticides •The weather is bad and the ground soggy only too often during the period of dormant spraying, The renewed interest in dor- mant oils is partly due to the development of strains of insects and mites resistant to the organic pesticides. No insect or mite has become resistant to dormant oils in the 35 odd years that the oils have been in general use, Also oils leave no poisonous residues on the,fruit and as a rule are less likely to kill beneficial insec$s than the organic phosphatevdta; '•. chlorinated hydrocarbons, or �irtlle other synthetic pesticides. t v' * * 4, Perhaps the, most , important quality in dormant oils is vis- cosity, In the western United States the oil that has been rec- ommended 'ever since oils came into use as insecticides is what night be called a light, dormant oil with a viscosity of 100 sec- onds Saybolt at 100°F. Until the mid -forties the same type of oil was used in British Columbia. Then; after five seasons of tests, a heavier oil, of 200 seconds vis- cosity, was introduced ft has been used exclusively since that time; and there has been better pest control, and less injury to fruit buds, and to foliage buds, than when the lighter oil was used. Now on the horizon is a still heavier oil with a viscosity of 400 seconds. This oil gave better control than lighter oil in 1960, If .further tests confirm these results, the British Columbia fruit grower will soon be using the heaviest, dormant spray oil that has yet been developed. In the first 15 month.; of its operation, Farm Credit Corpor- ation has made 6,711 loans total• ling $66,971,350 — an average of about $9,780 for each boerowei, * • • All provinces except New- foundland, where there is a very small agricultural industry, took advantage of the liberalized credit policy introduced by the federal government in the fall of 1959. While terms were kept at five per cent, the size of the loans, the type of operation, and the time for repayment were ex. tended. Emphasis was laid on large loans for young farmers subject to approval of the farm program they proposed to fol- low, Loans may be used for,ac- gttiring land, fertilizers, seed, lSSttl: 6 — 111J1 livestock, equipment; for erecting buildings; for clearing, draining, fencing or other improvements. • • The Farm Credit Act was pass- ed to answer complaints that Canadian farmers were hamper- ed in their drive to modernize and to set up economic units by a lack of capital on suitable terms, • • * Six years after their farms were expropriated to make way for the 275,000 -acre Camp Gage- town in New Brunswick, 100 farm families appeared to be get- ting along quite well. A Canada Department of Ag- riculture sociologist who recent- ly made another check with the families, said that the majority of them are still farming, But, he added, an increasing number have found non-farm employ- ment within commuting distance of their farm homes, * * 4, This' trend towards a combin- ation of farm and non-farm work was first noticed when the families were interviewed four years ago.

True, there is an amount of military necessity involved. Sure, suc- cess boosts national prestige in the international propaganda duel. But whether for purely civilian purposes there is any sense in going to the moon right now, it would indeed be diffi- c:uh -to say.

If we can't take clean hands and pure hearts with us, we'd better quar- antine ourselves right where we are now. — Hartford Courant, Don't Blame Farmers For Cost Of Living The U.S. cost of living reached a new peak in November. Sta- tistically food prices get a major part of the blame. Food comes from the farm — so it is easy to conclude that the high cost of living results from high farm prices. The conclusion is in er- ror. Also it illustrates the far- mer's public relations problem. It is tough to be accused of causing living costs to rise when the opposite is true. The fact is, if prices at the farm had not held at a relatively low level over the last 10 years, the cost of living would be much higher. The index figures used by the government are the evidence. For November, the Bureau of Labour Statistics reported a rise in ,the consumer price index from 127.3 to 127.4. In the index, 100 represents average prices for the 1947-49 period. Many items in addition to food are covered by the index, but it was food that received promin- ent mention in the latest report, In the 1947.49 period (100 on the cost of living index) farm prices were at 100 per cent of parity or better. Currently they stand at about 81 per cent of parity. The index, which represents all prices, has risen more than 27 points since the 1947-49 peri- od. But the index on farm prices — at the 'farm — has dropped almost the same amount. It is plain that the increase in the cost of living cannot be blamed on the prices farmers receive.— Kansas City (Mo.) Star. Golden Invasion Of Butterflies Walk through the streets of Pacific Grove, California, on any day between late October and early March and you will see the golden wings of some of the more than a million Monarch butterflies which migrate there from isolated parts of Alaska every year, The residents describe this strange phenormenon of nature as their "annual miracle." The fragile -winged butterflies fly in a great mass more than three thousand miles to "winter" in 'Butterfly Town," as Pacific Grove has been nicknamed Residents say their arrival, al- ways in daylight, is like the descent of a "cloud of gold." As they fly in, to settle in the same grove of pine trees used by their ancestors, they make a strange. low humming sound. So proud are the members o1 the local council of this annual "invasion" that they have passed a law to protect the butterflies. A resident or visitor could be fined 500 dollars or sentenced to six months in jail if he were caught catching or molesting them. • 1INDAYSC11001 LESSON By Rev, it. B. Warren, B.A., BM, Christ Opens Blind Eyes John 9:24--38 Memory Selection; J am the light of the world; he that fol - !meth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the fight of life. John 8:12. Our lesson is another illus• tration of how a miracle per- formed by Jesus became the basis for important teaching, Here is the first instance of ono who had been blind from birth receiving his sight, The anoint- ing of the eyes with clay formed from spittle, could have no therapeutic value in itself. The man's faith expressed in his obe- dience in going to Siloam to wash was vital. His healing can be explained only by the word, 'miracle,' The discussion concerning this man started before his healing. The disciples asked, "Master, who did sin, this man, or fits parents, that he was born blind?" The man could not have sinned before his birth unless he had been on earth before. However, the teaching of the transmigration of souls was held by some in that day, Jesus an- swered, "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; hut teat the works of God should be made manifest in him." This an- swer should be borne in mind, ,for there is still a strong ten- dency to suggest that affliction is always the direct result of tee individual's sin. The unbelievers found fault because this work of love and mercy was done on the Sab- bath. The man who was healed felt that his benefactor must be a prophet, His insistence that this One who healed him must be of God, cost him his place in the synagogue. They cast him out, The man who was healed stilt didn't know very much about Jesus. When the critics said He was a sinner, the man replied, "Whether He be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know', that, whereas I was blind, now I see." One day Jesus met him and asked, "Dost thou believe on the Son of God?" He asked, "Who is He, Lord, that t might bee ' lieve on Him?" Jesus said, "Thou hast both seen Him And it is He that talketh with three." The man said, "Lord, I believe," And he worshipped Him. Reader, do you know Jesus is the Son of God? Has He, the Light of the world, come into your life in redeeming power? Do you worship Him as your Lord and Saviour? Jesus Christ is the Light of life. Without Him we are in the dark, The open- ing of the spiritual eyes is no less real than the opening of the physical to the man of this lesson.

OVER PRODUCTION STRESSED AT ANNUAL TURKEY CONVENTION The gravest problem facing turkey growers in 1961 is over production according to officials at the 33rd an nual convention of the Ontario Turkey Association in Hami •speatder atter speaker outlined this threat with sta- tistics showing increased hatchings ex- pected across Canada and in the United In addition to this,•surveys show thhat growers in both countries intend to produce more birds this year than last year. To sap the situation, rumors arc prevalent concerning the Canadian government's intention to re- move import controls on U.S. produced turkeys in the coming year. Most growers are worried that this may remoralize their markets if imports increase over the 4 million pounds brought in last year, President Len Meyers, . Hanover, keynoted the convention with the theme "Will 61 be overdone?" in his opening remarks. He reviewed the success most growers enjoyed in 1960, but stressed that this very success might well lead into over production by growers In Western Canada in particu- lar, Some over production might occur in Ontario, but reports of tripled egg hatchings from Saskatchewan Indicate trouble ahead for the growers. Mr. Meyers called on the growers to avoid repetition of previous bad exper- iences resulting from overproduction, "Trying to take shortcuts to get rich in a single year by raising double the turkeys we did the year previous, can lead to just one thing •• disaster, if enough people try it at once," he said. Professor J. Ross Cavers, head of the Poultry Department, Ontario Agricul- ural College, told growers that goo, years are usually followed by bad years n the turkey business, Using statis- les, he showed how Ontario turkey production is beginning to level out omewhat, but that prairie provinces were still experiencing large and small )roduction swings. 1 -le credited the avourable trend in Ontario production o a growing maturity in the turkey growing industry, A. D. Davey, Director, Poultry Div- sion, Canadian Department of Agri- ullurc, predicted a large crop of tur- ns in 1961, as did most r thcr spcak- rs, .He told );rowers they wottld have DEATHS POLLARD, MRS.

And an appreciation Of beauty in art and architec- ture? That is the question I asked myself %vhen we took a house in Oxford for a whole summer last year. As the time for departure drew near I complained to my three (aged 11, 12, and 14) that they had not yet been over one of the colleges which all the world carne to sec. Even the sight of all those endless bus loads of tourists pouring through the ancient college doorway every day had not roused a flicker of curiosity. All that Inv three wanted was punting and pi airs on the Cher- well, or motorboat trips on tate Thanes, or matinees at Oxford's theaters and cinemas, and they did rather like climbing Carfax tower to see the view. They were perfectly happy to do with- out culture, though there had been a reluctant admission that they had enjoyed Oxford's mu- seums, which I had persuaded them to visit one by one, "Es- pecially the one with the Egyp- tain mummies," they said. But now I put my foot down. They must see the colleges.

We looked at beautiful old courts bright with flowers, ancient li- braries and chapels full of his- tory, noble halls full of famous portraits, exquisite stained glass windows and carvings, and the three listened and looked duti- fully. But alas, a look of veiled boredom was creeping over them, and I noticed after a time 0 tendency to hang back. Would the guide notice? But it was ihat most admir- able guide who saved the day. "Now we'll look at something the younger ones will like bet- ter," she would say, and over and over again found something to catch their interest, At Magadalen College, having looked at the perfection of beau- ty in architecture and gardens, WC walked to where the deer were grazing under the trees near the ancient college walls, She succeeded in calling them to the railings, and what is more, produced peppermints (of all things!) for the children to give them to eat, They like pepper- mints, those deer, and we all liked stroking and patting then, writes A, M. Blandford in the Christian Science Monitor, In Corpus Christi College we weedered nut into the lovely old gars'. n with it3 e:;qulsitive view of Christ Church meadow and the Thames beyond. "Because we really must feed Christy, the college tortoise," said our guide. And there, sure enough, he was, with his name painted on his shell, a very tame and ancient fellow, with a very nice tiny cottage built for him in the gar- den where the undergraduates were reading and talking under the trees. At Christ Church, biggest col- lege of all (for Cardinal Wolsey in the 16th century believed in doing everything in a big and impressive way) we were taken up to the library where Lewis Carroll's corrections of the proofs for "Alice in Wonderland" are kept. What delight for the children when they were called to a win- dow to stand tip -toe and look down into a garden, the garden where the little girl had played who had inspired the story of Alice in Wonderland, which was first told to entertain her and her friends on a river picnic. That little girl, Alice Liddell, had been the Dean's daughter when Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) was mathematical lec- turer of Christ Church, and her greatest joy was to be told won- derful stories by the gentle and retiring professor. There was the very same chestnut tree un- der which Alice had played, and there the little green door in the garden wall, that every child remembers in the story of Alice. How grateful I was to that kindly guide for giving my chil- dren—and all of us— such a de- lightful afternoon. Oxford is a pleasant place for a child, with its two rivers (where we punted and bathed all that perfect sum- mer), its tame squirrels that like to be fed in the Broad Walk, and its lovely leafy lanes beside the Cherwell. But I think the children liked best of all the little 12th century shop near Christ Church and the Thames. There we used to stop and buy sweets, from a very kind and friendly shopkeeper, on the way to the river, For that was the very same shop Lewis Carroll wrote about in "Through the Looking-Glass"— the shop where Alice talked to the old woman who later turned into a sheep.

I heaved a sigh of relief when the smoke finally cleared away. Scenes to the many U.S. citizens will long remember the day John Kennedy was sworn into office. And of course one naturally wonders what kind of a president he will make. Quite apart from politics I have reservations about so young a leader but yet I was very much impressed with his inaugural address. I liked his short, terse sentences — far more impressive than a long-winded address would have been, And now for the next slip , . . • ", , , Coach bus service", '!'hat's coming closer to home and about it I can say plenty, Here is the story. We had a visitor who was returning to Toronto by bus, Because I was still confined to my bed I asked a neighbour if he would drive her to Cooksville to catch the 7.28 bus — which he did, My friend got her ticket at the local bus station and sat in the car until the bus was in sight — the ticket agent had said the bus would stop at the sta- tion. But- this was one time it didn't, So there was my friend left standing on the sidewalk as lonely as a bride deserted at the altar. The ticket agent was furi- ous as there wasn't another bus for two hours. Fortunately a kindly motorist, well known to the agent, offered to drive my friend to the foot of Jane and Bloor. So that's how she • got home. Now I ask you, what kind of bus service is that? Seems to me a bus should be required to stop at all bus stations, If a person prefers to wait inside the office until he sees the bus com- ing he should be able to do so without losing the bus, A com- pulsary stop at all bus stations would give passengers ample time to get out to the road, Must we be forever on the run? What of those who are old and crip- pled? Is there no consideration for anyone any more? Has catch- ing a bus now become possible only for the fleet and the strong? In all fairness I should say I have usually found bus -drivers courteous and obliging but then I don't travel by bus very often and in any case I'm the over- anxious type — more likely to stand in the middle of the road for fear of missing it. And that, I think you will agree, shouldn't be necessary — at least, not out- side a bus station, Next slip .. , "the weather". Oh well, there'; enl1' u.: thir.;, 10 say about that. IT'S 1;01.1)!

Oh dear, why did I pick that one last? Have just finished a hook that I could write about for ages. Il is called "The Winthrop Wo- nsan". It is fascinating, parti- cularly for those who are inter- ested in history as it is founded on fact. To me it is of particular interest as the first part of the book features a district in Suf- folk, England where I lived as a girl, The period is the early 17th century but th;r names are the sante as when 1 teas there — Bures, Boxford, Edwardstone, Levenhanl, Groton 1i;1! — and many others. The VIinthrnp family emigrated to M ;;sachu- setts, there to nlal:e a new life for themselves, The details are similar to other pioneer stories but these are based on actual documents. How ,sitters sur- vived those primitive tinges is hard to believe. And the fam- ilies they raised, Children born at close intervals, many of thein dying in childhood or at birth. Men marrying two and three Limas; each new wife caring for the step -children — and add- ing a few more of her own. And lhosc days are really only a short while back, I wonder how Inuctt attention is given to pi- oneer history in our schools? Even so, can we expect the ris- ing generation of accept early settlement stories as fact? No doubt they find it easier to be- lieve fantastic stories of a space age than hardships relative to the pioneer period. He Makes Clothes For New First Lady From the perfumed salons of Paris to the swatch -cluttered world of New York's Seventh Avenue, the topic of conversa- tion last month was not the new American President but what his wife was wearing, Jacqueline Kennedy had sparked a revolu- tion in fashion. Milliners were loaded with pillbox hats, hair- dressers were besieged with or- ders for "slash bangs" (under - the -drier talk for Mrs. Ken- nedy's hair style), and a whole new crop of wide-eyed brunette models filled the fashion maga- zines. No one was happier about the trend than Oleg Cassini, the new First Lady's "official" couturier. With the exception of one ball gown (by New York's Bergdorf - Goodman), every dress,•hat, and coat Mrs. Kennedy wore to the officials doings last week came from Oleg Cassini, Inc., a coup that could make this Paris -born nobleman - turned - needle -work- er the fashion man of the year, or even of the next eight. With a whole gaggle of top American designer:;, Cassini had submitted sleet ;hes to Jackie Kennedy as soon as the polls closed, His showing took place at Georgetown Hospital in Wash- ington, just before her baby son was born, Cassini got the nod, he says, for his "synthesis of Mrs. Kennedy's elegance." In fashion circles, where the gnash- ing of teeth almost drowned out the clash of scissors. His critics though his connections with the Kennedy clan played a big part. (Cassini has designed clothes for the First Lady's mother-in-law, Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy, and lot two of her husband's sisters, Mrs, Peter Lawford and Mrs, Robert Sargent Shriven) Cassini vigorously denies any "family influence," He makes no secret,. however, of his long- standing friendship (and politic- al support) for the new Presi- dent, They .net toward the end of World War II in California, where Mr. Kennedy was recu- perating .from his war injuries, a,1. , .Ener, who put int foto' and a half years as a U.S, cavalryman, was freshening up his 1lollywood contacts.

He made his mark drap- ing such Hollywood notables as Grace Kelly, Rita Hayworth, and his second ex-wife, Gene 'Tierney (the first was cough -syrup heiress Merry Fahrney) in styles that one fashion writer waspish- ly described as "alluring—or sexy."

During the rest of the ten-rond bout, Rin- aldi, clearly in command, open- ed gaping cuts over both of Ray's eyes and coasted to an easy clecil!o0 Unbeaten since 1959, Rinaldi typifies the current renaissance among Italian boxers (other stars: lightweight Giordano Cam- pari, who upset world champion Joe Brown in a non -title bout, and heavyweight Franco de Pic - coli, the 1960 Olympic gold me- dalist). Born and raised in Anzio (he was 8 when the Allies landed in 1944), Rinaldi has worked as a bricklayer, steve- dore, and sardine fisherman. He fought as a middleweight in the 1956 Olympics, forfeited when he failed to make the weight, and turned pro in 1957. Almost totally unknown outside Italy a year ago, he is now the third - ranked light -heavyweight in the world. He has lost only five •of 31 professional fights, one for butting, an illegal maneuver that often results from his unorth- odox, charging, head -down style. "Now 1 would like to fight Moore again," Rinaldi, fresh from his victory over Ray, said atter the fight. "This time for . the title—in the U.S. or in Italy," Rinaldi speaks only a few words of English, but whenever Moore's name is mentioned, he nods, flexes his arm muscles, and says: "Very strong, Very strong." Until Moore agrees to meet him again, Rinaldi is content to keep fighting in Rome. He draws capacity crowds, earns $9,000 a match, drinks Chianti, and drives a sports car. Rinaldi recognizes his appeal. "If you want to write to me," he said, "it is very easy. Just Giulio Rinaldi, Champion, italy."

She is the first British monarch to visit the nation in half a cent try, On A Submarine In The Icefields 13y breakfast time on Thurs- day we were within 30 Judea of Alfa (Drifting Ice Station)—un- less both our navigation and Alfa's estimate of its own loca- tion were drastically in error. We slowed and began to look about for a place to surface. This time we were in a 'notice- ably looser area than we had heen at the Pole; by eight -thirty we were maneuvering under a promising opening. Our location was roughly haif- way between the North Pole and Alaska; we had penetrated to the other side of the world. Stefansson had named the Zone of Comparative Inaccessibility because it was the region most remote from approach by snip — more remote than the North Pole itself. So far as I knew, not even a drifting ship, locked in the ice, had ever reached the Zone of Inaccessibility. As we floated cautiously un- derneath the opening in the ice I raised the periscope to exa- mine the ice above, Here was no canyon of ice, but a polynya like that we had found our first day in the ice pack, The edge of the lake was visible and looked no thicker than the aver- age floe, In a few minutes the periscope Peached the open air. I told Bill Cowhill to blow the tanks and the Skate rose quickly to the surface. As I climbed to the bridge the open air struck my )'ace like a damp cloth. I looked about at the icefields stretching to the horizon in every direc- tion, The Skate had reached the Zone of Inaccessibility. In August the icefields are dotted with thousands of pud- dles of melt water. These evi- dences of the wan arctic sun range in size from a few feet in diameter •to sizable ponds, and in depth from a few inches to three or four feet, (In sum- mer of 1899 Nansen's men found one near the Fram that was large enough to sail the ship's cutter in! it gave them a good bit of sport.) The water in them is surprisingly fresh; it is safe to drink. The colour of the wa- ter is an aquamarine of gem- like purity, As I stood on the bridge that loorning these blue je14'eis av1oe ''cattcred in every direction over the ermine white oq the floes. Two or three other polynyas were also visible, looking almo,t hack beside the cheerful azure of the ponds. The temperature was 31 de- grees, and the wind about .. knots, The Sun ryas obscured by a heavy low overcast, but tihe blue -accented white of the ice - fields made the bleak landscape r.eem almost cheerful. I passed the word for the deck hatches to be opened so that evclyor,e could come out on deck. As the crew began to appear from the hatches, their high spirits became immediately ap- parent, They gazed in wonder at the sparkling blue lake in which we rested and the pres- sure and worry of operating the Skate rolled front their backs almost visibly.— From "Surface at the Pole," by Commander Janes Calvert, USN. A Grate Fire That Never Goes Out In one stoutly tirnbered farm- house at Dundooan, near Coler- aine, Northern Ireland, fire lighting presents no problem even on the dampest winter morning. The family living there has a glowing peat fire burning on an open hearth, and not once for over two hundred years, so it is believed, has this fire gone nut. Over it; pots of gruel- and po• tato broth pour out enticing aro- mas, as they swing on a heavy black pot hanger. Looking up the wide flue; one can see the open sky. It is said i11 luck will follow if the fire .is allowed to go out. To break the tradition is unthinkable. As one head of the household dies, another takes his place, and the Mines nes never want for fuel. The farmhouse also has a root without a single nail in it. Con- structed of uncut beams, held together by specially made fir rope, it has never once needed repairing, The_ whole structure is as sound today as when it was first erected over two centuries ago. Those who complain about the way the ball bounces, are often the ones wlio dropped it. ROYALTY BAGS TIGER — Prince Philip, at left, shot the tiger shown in the foreground on Jan. 24.

Emerson's China, Simcoe, Ontario, Spring Skiing k Europe's Best Skiing, Sun and Fun are three terms closely linked in most European ski resorts. The real' peak pf the season does not get under way until February and stretches well into March. One reason is, that this time of the year offers clear skies and plenty of sun, so strong already in February that one only need an afternoon of skiing to return well tanned from the mountain slopes. In the evening when the sun goes down, the fun begins as the hotel's band invites for a dance, or the ski lodge's bar offers a drink atthe open fire place, to- gether with good,. company or the untranslatable "Gemuetlich- keit", The Alps, presenting Europe's most attractive .ski resorts offer versatile skiing conditions. The Austrian State Tourist Office re- ports that they have introduced female ski instructors to give even the smallest candidates or "ski bunnies" as they call them, instructions and motherly care. The cross Cenntry skier finds ideal conditions in Bavaria's Ruhpolding, according to the German Tourist Information Of- fice. All inclusive jet ski tours, de- parting Montreal and other cities, are offered by Lufthansa German Airlines. The 17 -days excursion fare has brought Europe's skiing within the reach of the budget minded traveller, as 'outlined in Lufthansa's folder: Ski in the Alps! Toni Sailer, world renown- ed skier played host to one of their ski tours at Kitzbuehel, Austria. An added attraction to all the winter fun is the ski carnival parade on the slopes. Here the :skillful skiers in their carnival costumes entertain eager specta- tors with their merry -making and fun parade. Switzerland and Italy also of- fer a great number of resorts where winter -sports frequently extend into April and May. Ski- ing lasting into the summer is featured by such places as Cer- vine in the ltallan Alps and the Grossglockner in if Austrian Alps.

Over the past year, prices to produc- ers have averaged about $1 per hun- dredweight more than the national sup- port price, A year ago, the price o[ Grade A hogs at Toronto was $23.65. it k now $29 and it has been at or above. that level for some time. "There is a very real danger that present prices may encourage a level of hog production which could lead to heavy supplies and much lower prices later this year," he said. "While some expansion in produc- tion can be accomodated, a warning must be sounded to producers against over expansion at this time, This sit- uation is widely recognized and provin- cial departments of agriculture and others are calling attention to it." Mr, Hamilton pointed out that for i these reasons, the Government had de- cided to retain the national support' price for 1961 at the sante level as last, year. Under the deficiency payment meth - cd of support, the Agricultural Stabil ization Board will determine at the end of 1961 the national average price T BLYTII STANDARD FIRESIDE FARM FORUM ' Is BETTER BOOKKEEPING SOLO - TION TO DAIRY PROBLEMS? 1 HULLE'I't COUNCIL j On February 6 Mr. and Mrs. George' The regular meeting of the Township ' Carta entertained the Fireside Farm (by J.
