The Standard contacted Mr, W, J. Sims, Seaforth, for the history of form- er blacksmith shops in the village and he willingly contributed the following article; In passing through many . places 1 can toll where there used to be a blacksmith shop, I just heard that the old shop In Blyth where Robert Douglas worked so long and hard had caved in, When that building is taken down there will be, nothing to , show where a blacksmith shop was in Blytlt. The first man to have that shop was a Mr, McKellar. A number of boys learned the trade with Mr, Douglas, one was dear old Bob Walden. Thomas Kelly also had the shop and Mr, Hank I1radford and John Stewart. • The shop .farther down the street was first owned by James Clark, there was a large family, Then James Wilson 1 had' it and Wm. Robinson, also Harry I Phillips and Wm, Philips, and Wm.) McNally, in recent years Harold Phil - lips, There was another shop near th creek where Bill Spooner had for awhile, and not to forget dear old Hugh' McQuarrie, his shop used to be on the corner where the Bank of Conunercc now stands, and their home was a nice: frame building between Stewart's store and the Memorial Hall, It was destroyed by fire, it was the first fire I remembered In Blyth. After this he had his shop on Dinsley Street close to the late James Ilamilton property. There were eight In the family. Mr. McQuarrie was Superintendent in the Sunday School at the Presbyterian Church. Then the Slater and Sims Carriage and blackship shop where Jack Creigh- ton has a service station, The brick building was seventy-two by forty-two.

Suggestions For The Phone Company I am constantly being amazed at how hard the telephone com- pany works to make things easi- er for the rest of us. You might think they had their hands full already, what with putting in coloured telephones and exten- sions wherever they can find a bare wall, But no; now they're talking about sending up their own satellite so they can bounce telephone calls back and forth between it and my house, Al- ready they have bounced a few tentative what - hath - God - wroughts from Echo I to the moon and back. That is what probably gave them the idea for putting up their own version of Echo to handle not just tele- phone messages but TV pro- grams as well, It is rather a dismaying thought that one of these days they may be bouncing Ed Sulli- van oil. the moon. It is a dis- maying thought, but it is a tempting one, too, Working with the telepnone company, one of the big appli- ance manufacturers has come up with a gimmick that they call "dial -an -appliance." Stated in the simplest terms (so people like me can understand it) what this thing does is let your wife spend all afternoon at the beauty talon, thumbing through the cul- tural literature that abound:, in that communications center. She can apply herself to the busi- ness at hand with never a thought about getting dinner. If it grows late all she has to do is stroll over to a telephone, drop in a dime and dial her own number, plus a couple of other digits. This combination sets a lot of transistors to transisting like fury, a light beams in the kitchen range and — presto — the oven turns itself on and the roast begins to cook merrily. (One household hardship re- mains — she has to put the roast in the oven before she goes galavanting off to the beauty shop.) Now this may be news to the telephone company and that ap- pliance manufacturer, but I've got news for them. In our house we already have a gadget that accomplishes the same thing without spending a dime for the phone call, It's a disarmirgly simple device consisting of a piece of paper (the brown wrap - ring kind often does very nice- ly) and a pencil. My wife scrib- bles the code on it before she takes oil for the beauty parlour and — presto — when I get ;come I put the roast in and turn on the oven. With the telephone GEISHA GIRL — Not a new doll from Japan but actress Shirley Maclaine. Blue-eyed and red- haired Shirley is transformed by make-up and costume, and brown contact lenses, for her role in the film "My Geisha." company's arrangement no pro- vision is made for peeling pota- toes as there is with ours. What 1 wish they would come up with is a telephone that I could drop a coin in and settle the argument about who'll do the dishes. (Oh, we manage to settle it now, but there must be a better way.) Meanwhile, more good things are in store, from what they tell ole, Just recently, the tele- phone company announced that "right in the midst of America's population explosion, telephones have been multiplying faster than people." I don't know about that, but if you happen to be on a party line with a family that has teen- agers you cannot deny that tele- phone calls have been multiply- ing faster than anything. Today's teen-agers barely speak when they meet on the street, believ- ing that anything worth saying can wait until they reach home and can get to a telephone. writes J. Norman McKenzie in the Christian Science Monitor. One of the peachy electronic surprises that AT&T has up its sleeve is a machine that can use the telephone. If I understand this promised blessing aright you will be able to hock up a machine to one telephone and a second machine to another tele- phone, then let the:n jabber away for hours on end, All you have to do is keep feeding :hese rolls of swiss -cheese computer paper into the mac: incs and they never get tired of talking to each other. In our neighbour- hood the same thing is a. ccm- plished with a pair of teen-ai.ers and some milk and cookies. It's messy, but in the long run it's cheaper. As if things weren't bad enough, the communications in- dustry now promises us a small receiver that can be carried in A pocket and when somebody is trying to reach you on your home telephone, the thing in your pocket starts to buzz. Tney don't say what you can do about it, except wonder if it's the boss calling or, possibly, some- body you'd like to hear from. As things stand now all you can do is worry about that call Of course if you happen to be in your backyard and the receiver in your pocket starts to buzz you can do what you have al- ways done — rush like mad in- doors and scramble to pick up the telephone. Naturally, just as you do, the telephone will stop ringing. And, good servant that it is, the buzzer will stop buzz- ing. Some more development is needed on this project. But the thing I'm looking for- ward to with the greatest eager- ness is that project the boys at Re 11 are working on behind closed doors. It's a machine that thinks. I want to get my order in early for this one because that's something we could really use around our house. Maybe it can think of a way to get :ny wife back from the beauty par- lour in time to put the roast in herself. Measles And Bumps Don't Respect Rank Minding the throne back in England while Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were getting. a royal welcome on their tour of Pakistan. 12 -year-old Prince Charles saw spots — which turned out to be measles, land- ing him in Cheam School's in- firmary. As for 10 -year-old Prin- cess Anne, she saw stars; taking ice-skating lessons in a public rink — but in a private section of it reserved for classes — the Princess had the beginner's us- ual ups and downs. Was she making progress? Rink director A. V. Hopkins said tactfully: "She's quite a good little skater, but even champions fall some- times."

Sir Winston Churchill once a: ser ibe'd fish and chips as "the good companions," Generations of Britons with a need for warming sustenance and little time for cooking have thrived on this hearty combination. However. one doesn't need to live in England to enjoy puffy, golden fish fritters served with crisp French -fried potatoes. For many years fish and chips w as principally regarded as a snack, but since World War II it has graduated to main dish status. A homemaker who nas deep frying equipment can very easily serve this dish crisp and fresh from her own fryer. Here at e simple directions for prepar- ing the fish. As a busy -day time- saver you may use heated, fro- asen French Fries. FISH AND CHIPS 2 pounds fish fillets Salt 2 packages (9 ounces each) frozen French -fried potatoes 1 egg, beaten 1 cup water 11; cups of sifted all-purpose flour If fillets are frozen, allow to thaw. Dry fillets well and cut into portions of uniform size. Sprinkle with salt, Heat pota- toes as directed on the package and keep warm while fish is being cooked. Make a batter by combining egg and water then lightly stirring in flour with three or four stirs. A secret of . ccess with this hatter is not to overmix it. Dip fillet portions in hatter. Place, single layer deep, in frying basket and fry in deep, hot vegetable oil at 3'75 degrees F. until puffed ani golden brown, turning once. Drain on absorbent paper and keep cooked portions warm in a slow, oven. Repeat until all of the fish is cooked, Serve imme- diately with French -fried pota- toes. Makes 6 servings. GARNISHES '1'o give a finishing touch to a seafood creation. consider the; e possibilities: • Sprigs of fresh parsley. wa- tercress, mint or dill, ? Lemon or lime slices, wedges, or twists. • Slices of tomato, cucumber, or hard -cooked egg. • Sauteed thin orange slices, sauteed canned pineapple rings. • Sticks or curls of carrot or celery, radish roses. • Rings of thinly sliced onion or green pepper.

ISSUE 8 — 1961 Results Of Giant Research Effort For eighteen months, 30,000 persons from 67 nations took part in the gigantic research ef- fort known as the International Geophysical Year, which came to an end on Dec. 31, 1959. What did they accomplish? Last month, Capt, Elliott 13. Roberts of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey gave the ans- wer: They accomplished plenty. The army of scientists left a veritable mountain of material behind: Sixty tons of records, tapes, reports, graphs, and cor- ings from earth, ice, and sea - bottom — enough data to occupy researchers for years to come. The cost of the project to the U.S. Government, Roberts cal- culated (in the annual report of the Smithsonion Institution), was $43.5 million. Big as this is, he noted that many participating nations spent even more money in relation to their populations. Total contributions of all nations came to about $2 billion. Totting up the balance, Roberts concludes: "We have learned that the oceans may become a primary food source, 'farmed' by man, and that their dark reaches may deliver up vast new .riches for his benefit . , that solar processes may revolutionize our approach to energy problems... The list could be well nigh end- less. To keep us from straying into scientific fantasy, we have a legacy of planning bodies at national and international levels . , for the fullest exploitation of the possibilities. "We niay now, for once and all," Roberts says vigorously, "have laid the ghost of that stupid old question whether re- search and pure science are worth their own support." Big Lift To Save Pharaoh's Temple For three millenniums, the ancient Egyptian temple of Abu Simbel with its four massive statues of Ramses II guarding the entrance has survived the ravages of desert winds and the shifting sands of the Nile — only to be threatened with death by water in the twentieth century. When the Aswan High Dam, which the United Arab Republic is building with Soviet assistance, was planned, it seemed Abu Sim - bel would be drowned in a 300 - mile -long lake covering t h e Nubian Valley of Egypt and the Sudan. Last month in Cairo, UNESCO recommended to the U.A.R. a plan to save Abu Simbel that was breath -taking in its boldness. The idea is to raise the 300,000 - ton monument built by Ramses II 186 feet into the air, from the Nile's present level to the edge of the lake which will be creat- ed by the new dam, The plan was drafted by a trio of Italian engineering firms led by the Milan engineer Prof. Piero Gazzola. It was recommended to the U.A.R., over a French scheme to protect the temple with its own dam, by an inter- national committee of experts appointed by UNESCO This group is working to preserve the priceless heritage of Nubia's monuments, states a writer in NEWSWEEK. Abu Simbel is carved into a sheer sandstone cliff 200 feet high at the mouth of a long rock corridor on the banks of the tip- per Nile, Its brilliantly frescoed halls and chambers, depicting the glories of the 67 -year reign of Ramses (for whom the chil- dren of Israel toiled in bondage), pentrate some 180 feet into the cliff. Its facade stretches 124 feet across the face of the, cliff. The first phase of the plan to raise the temple will mean shearing off a chunk of mountainside above it_two-thirds the size of a football field. Then, from a work - pit 50 feet deep, more than 1,000 workers will gradually dig out Abu Simbel's underpinnings, re- placing them section by section with a solid base of reinforced concrete and steel beams. The rock masses from the sides and back of the temple will be cut away and the entire structure will be wrapped in a cocoon of reinforced concrete and steel girders. To elevate Abu Simbel, the foundation's steel support girder's will be replaced by 300 electroni- cally coordinated hydraulic jacks. Almost imperceptibly, at the rale of one-eighth of an inch a lift, Abu Shnbel will rise Into the air, When it has been raised a foot, the jacks will be tem- porarily removed one by one and a base of 1 foot et reinforc- ed console set clown folder them, 'Then the jacks will he re- placed and the entire cycle be- gun again, Finally the temple will rest on an enormous shaft of 25(1,000 tons of reinforced con- crete, The Italians estimates that it will take nearly six years and $60 million to do the job (which includes lifting the smaller tem- ple Ramses built a few yards downstream for his wife, Ne- fertari). UNESCO is also now trying to raise the remaining $15 million it needs to salvage other treasures. So far it has re- ceived money from six countries. Congress has recommended U.S. participation, but no funds have yet been authorized. Those coun- tries which do not participate might well remember the words carved into one of the temple's pillars. "Hearken to what I tell you. 1 am Re, lord of heaven, on earth, who does things of benefit to you accordingly as you work for him." Editor's Note—It is hoped that the whole thing will not end in something like Kipling presaged in his verse "And the secret that was hid Under Cheops' pyramid, Was that some contractor did Cheops out of several millions". Next Time, Mr. Fox Please Sell Tickets For centuries the British have been hunting foxes to the thun- derous baying of their hound dogs, It has been a great sport, providing the gentry with a char.ce to wear pink coats, and shout "Tally ho!" Always outnumbered and usu- ally subjected to the final indig- nity of having their tails chop- ped off, the foxes have not found this sport so exhilarating. Now they are getting even, Scurrying beneath one of the unguarded wires which run alongside Britain's electrified railroads, a fox near Dover led 37 hounds of the West Street pack into a trap. When the hounds hit the unshielded wire, nineteen of them died. And sly old Reynard just loped away. The Masters of Foxhounds Association promptly warned against this peril but by then, apparently, the foxes had told the rabbits. When the Blean beagle pack picked up the scent of h rabbit near Faversham, Kent, the rabbit also headed for the nearest rail line. This (lune eight of the beagles (some valud at more than $1,000 apiece) were electrocuted. Br'er Rabbit hopped away. LIGHTHOUSE • KEEPING — Japanese miss introduces some- thing new in home banks.

In the evening the boots says the regiment was with- drawn, '', , . if 36 officers and Dien may be called a reg'.ntent." Grandfather, facing the book- work after the excitement was over, was himself a goy of 19, schooled as far as the second book, and had no occult method of foreseeing what was going to happen in later times. Ile there- fore called the shots as he saw them, and Fat up a caup'e of situations which causal him I a n embarrassment in years to come. Inasmuch as the volunteers carne from around here every- body knew each other, and in some instances were close friends. One such was Frank Farrar, officially listed as Benj. F., but nobody except Uncle Sam ever called him Benjamin. Frank and Grandfather were tenimates, and my own father was named after Frank when he was born in '78, This should show that the two were close, and in the general posthaste of approaching the great Gettys- burg engagement Frank had drawn special duty, It was one of those spur-of-the-moment things. Frank was assigned to some passing officer, not of his own regiment, as an orderly. Inunediately after, the officer clapped himself on his horse, applied the rowels, and dis- appeared out of Frank's life forever, leaving him an orderly without an officer and nothing to do but go back to his com- pany and pick up where he left off, Grandfather,' laboriously enter - LICENSED MOONSHINE — The bootlegger's "white lightning" GDes respectable in Albany, a., where Viking Distillery markets 90 -proof corn whisky in glass fruit jars, the same type container favored by the moonshiners.

Sam assembled the veterans of the fray for an expense -paid bivouac an the scene, Surrounded by the honors that had accrued, these Grand Army comrades waved farewell and entrained for a re- union, All except Frank Farrar, who was one of the 36 officers and men retrieved that day at nightfall, but who persisted all 50 years as a historical orderly off on some major's errand Such is the attitude of things like a Pentagon that no amount of rea- son, explanation, and persuasion could now change the recorded word, Granlp's moving finger had writ, and that was that. Frank went to the reunion be- cause he was a bona fide vete- ran of the first engagement at Gettysburg — but he paid his own fare, For this he never truly forgave Grandfather, and when- ever he unbraided his tentmate Grandfather would feel bad and apologize, The other situation concerned Harry Anderson, As the first Confederate onslaught struck the Union line, precisely where the 16th Maine was scarcely ready, the pressure caused a falling back in such a way that a smal- lish knoll came about the middle of the fracas. Later on in the day many prisoners were taken by the South, and this knoll be- came a deciding factor in their , fate, Those on one side went to the Libby Prison; those on the other were exchanged or paroled a few days later, Harry Ander- son was one of those unlucky enough to be on the prison side. Again, the confusion and ex- citement of the moment left Grandfather to complete his company records as best he could. Those who were later paroled were checked back, and concern- ing them his minutes proved to be proper, •But those who had been sent back to prison disap- peared and there was no im- mediate way to know about them. There had also been consider- able deserting about this time and this was one matter every clerk was expected to record properly. Somehow, the way the thing went, Gramp included Harry Anderson amongst those officially listed under "deser- tions." Harry, meantime, was in a case where real desertion would have been wonderful, and didn't know that he was enjoy- ing this distinction willy-nilly, thanks to Gramp. - So the war went along, and one day after many campaigns Harry Anderson showed up. He'd had a hard time, but he was all right, and he rejoined his com- pany with much good feeling all around. The "boys" liked Harry, and were not only glad to see him back, but glad to learn he had never been a deserter. The war moved along. Harry with it, and Grandfather never thought twice about the entry he had made the day Harry returned, Since Harry had first been listed as a "deserter'," Gramp had duti- fully entered that he had "re- turned from desertion." This made sense, bookkeeping -wise, and peace returned, Then came the pension, and Harry Anderson was denied a pension because he had been a deserter! He approached Cramp with fire in his eye, and Gramp had to lay down his farm work, dress up, and take the steam - cars to go and swear that his • own faithfully kept records were wrong!

THHA1M FRONT J.06 During the first nine months of this fiscal year, the Farm Credit Corporation loaned $50,000,000 to farmers across Canada, In the next three months, this figure will likely be stretched to $60,000,000, Moreover, it is esti- mated that during the next fiscal year loans will total $75,000,000. This underlines the popularity of the new Farm Credit Act which was introduced to October, 1959, to bridge a widening gap in the agricultural industry. Re- sponse to this Act is even more significant when it is relaized that in 1955-50, loans extended by the former Canadian Farm Loan Board were only about $8,000,000, • ♦ 4 Why this sudden upsurge in farm credit? A new outlook has been brought to bear on this whole matter, When farm credit was under the Department of Fi- nance, there was a natural tend- ency to resist releasing • large amounts of money in this man- ner. 011 the other hand, present thinking is to use credit to help competent farmers to re -organize their units and to put then on a profitable basis — thereby con- tributing to the economic well- being of the agricultural industry as a whole. They are not dealing carelessly with the taxpayers' money in ad- ministering the new Act, Just the contrary. With every loan, the FCC counsels the farmer on how to work out a program that will not only assure repayment of the debt, but will raise the income from the farm, • 4 In this connection, some farm- ers consulting the FCC receive larger loans than they originally sought, That's because the corpora- tion's highly trained staff can often outline ways of boosting the overall income by a bolder invcstmeent than the borrower had foreseen. This, of course, works n1 re- verse and an application is turned down if it appears unreasonable according • to circumstances, In the first nine months of this fis- cal year, 7,224 applications were dealt with. One-quarter of then were rejected or withdrawn be- fore or after appraisal, Loans vary in size up to the maximum of $27,500, The aver- age loan from April 1, 1900, un- til the end of the year was $10,583. • • 4 •Farm credit works hand -in - glove with outer legislation that has been introduced in the past three years — particularly the Agricultural Stabilization Act and the Crop Insurance Act — and it was not by accident that the Farm Credit Act was passed after the other two, It is the solution to the problem faced by Canadian farmers who were un- able to modernize their units be- cause of Iack of capital o►1 suit- able terms. That It is meeting this need is evidenced by the figures produced to date, e * * HIgh quality hogs give Cana- dian hog producers a decided ad- vantage in competing on this con- tinent, according to Ralph K, Bennett, chief of merchandising in the Livestock Division, Canada Department of Agriculture. Mr, Bennett recently told the annual meeting of the Nova Sco- tia Federation of Agriculture that Maritime and Ontario hog producers were "on reasonably equal terms" competitively, with producers in the American corn belt. The corn belt is the cradle of the U.S. hog producing indus- try. The price support policy, man- datory under the Agricultural Stabilization Act, is one of a number of advantages Canadian hog producers enjoy. Others are the premium paid on grade A hogs; higher average price per cwt.; lower cost of production due to the higher number of pigs per litter (weaned and raised) in Canada compared with the - United States. e • Because it takes more feed to put on a pound of fat than a pound of lean meat, high quality Canadian hogs have an addition- al advantage, Mr, Bennett point- ed out. United States demand for top quality cuts from Canada, par- ticularly hams and backs, DIr. Bennett said, works to the ad- vantage of the Canadian hog pro- ducer. "Apparently U.S. consum- ers associate "leanness" with hams and backs and, therefore, these cuts bring a substantial premium in price Duet' the re- mainder of the hog." Because of U.S. d::mend for lean pork products, some Cana- dian cuts go to the U.S. even when the Toronto price is con- siderably higher than the price al Chicago, Exports of pork cuts to the U.S, in 1900 averaged about !'1 - million pounds per week. • • • Canadian hogs, he said, are of better quality on the average than U.S. hogs, This is reflected in average lard production. Pack- ers in Eastern Canada obtain a yield of about 18 pounds of lard per hog. This is rendered from about 24 pounds of fat trimmings, including the leaf lard. Ameri- can packers' average yield of lard per hog is about 29 pounds, rendered from about 39 pounds of trimmings, the leaf lard in- cluded, The difference is reflect- ed in the average prices of top grade hogs at Chicago and To- ronto during 1960 where Cana- dian dressed carcasses brought almost $3 more than the Ameri- can price, • Blacksmithing In Early Times The skills and tools needed to do at least the rudiments of blacksmithing were not peculiar to the pioneer farmer. The iron of the day, labouriously cut and wrought by charcoal fire and water -driven hammers, was sold in long bars of a thickness suit- able to the making of tenpenny nails. The farmer, who wished to save a blacksmith bill, would, using the fireplace as a forge and a block of wood covered with a thick piece cf iron as an anvil, cut his own nails in the evening with chisel and hammer. Most 'farmers, save those in san- dy Tidewater, had to have at least enough iron for horse and ox -shoe' nails, and the thrifty New Englander could earn a bit of money by buying iron and selling or exchanging nails. The well-to-do farmer on the Piedmont or in the Great Valley was more inclined to have his own blacksmith shop with anvil and small forge. Here, he could make nails, sharpen plow -points, mend wagon. tires and remedy the many accidents common to the ironware of that day, for much of it was badly made, im- pure, and more brittle than our own. Seldom did the average farmer have the skill and tools to shape a horseshoe and put it on, or make a grubbing hoe, and ao a result the blacksmith teas one of the most important men in any community. Any 'frontier e'o'n m u n i t y would have been helpless with- out blacksmith' tools and a man able to use them. Still, we can- not say the' blacksmith was' the foundation c'f all pioneer life. So complex and interlocking was the world about the stock - ace walls that each skill or tool depended upon another. The blacksmith, for example, in order to function had to have cooling tubs; too heavy and unhandy to bring by pack horse. So were usually made by a neighbor with a set of cooper's tools. The blacksmith also needed a hot fire; he could use seasoned hickory, or even oak bark, but the pioneer blacksmith like gen- erations before him worked best with charcoal. One of the first things made around any forted station would have been some font of charcoal kiln, usually nothing more than a carefully arranged stack of split wood, cunningly laid so that it would burn slowly, — From "Seedtime on the Cumberland," by Harri- ette Simpson Arnow.

The Lord of Life and Death John 11: 17-27, 38-44 Memory Selection; 1 am the resurrection, and the life: he that belfeveth in Me, though he were deal, yet shall he live; and whosoever liven' and believetlt in Me shall never die. John 11: 25-26, The Old Testament tells of three people who were restored to life: the widow's son, (1 Kings 17:22); the son of the Shunatn- utite, (2 Kings 9:35); and the man whose body touched the bones of Elisha, (2 Kings 13:21). In the New Testament we read of Jesus raising the daughter of ,lairus, (Mt. 9;35); the son of the widow of Nain, (Lu. 7:15); and Lazarus of Bethany. many Saints arose at the time of Jesus' resurrection. At the prayer of Peter, Dorcas was re- stored to life (Acts 9:40). Euty- chus was taken up dead but eame to life as Paul ministered to him. (Acts 20;10). When Je- sus arose from the dead, He con- quered life forever and brought the keys of death and hell with 'him. There are three incidents 're- corded of Jesus and the family of Bethany, In the first, Mary was commended for choosing the good part as she sat at Je- sus' feet and listened to His word while Martha was cum- bered about much serving. That second incident forms our lesson. When Lazarus was sick they sent for Jesus. Too many have little or no thought for Jesus till trouble comes. It is well to have a previous acquaintance with Him. In the third incident we see Mary's great expression .of gratitude as the re -united family ate together. Jesus is Lord of li':e and death. Recently I heard an evangelist before a large audience, offer S5.00 to anyone who could guar- antee that he would be alive tomorrow. No one moved. If he had asked, "Will those svho hone to be alive tomorrow, stand," doubtless all would have stood. I` he had asked, "Will those who expect to be alive tomor- row, stand," most, if not all, would have stood. But not a soli- tary person could guarantee that he would be alive. Our lives etre in God's hands. But Jesus is also Lord of death, In conque' ing death, He has opened the way for us all to rise from the grave.

IE CHARTERED BANKS SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY Most Beautiful Of AH Waterfalls One has two methods by which to cross the Andes before de- pending to the Argentinian fron- tier post, There is a railway tun- nel, inside which there is also a track where cars may drive through to the other side with- out much difficulty, but this is a very expensive method. The other, and far more satisfying ex- perience for the traveller, is a climb up the steepest gradient in South America to pass over the Andes at 1.4,000 feet, and then immediately drop down into Ar- gentinian territory, . . . The road was not the highest over which we had driven, but it was certainly the steepest. On looking clown, the grandeur of the scene is breathtaking — the view of a section cut through the mountains, leaving jagged gaping places to tell how it was done, On all sides the rocks are red and violet, and at their high- est points, silhouetted against a vivid blue sky, they are perpetu- ally capped with snow. Our journey through Chile, Ar- gentina and Uruguay was to have been swift because we wanted very much to arrive in Brazil before the Carnival celebration and while a slender chance of doing so remained, little else was of interest to us. One superb and permanent memory of Ar- gentina, however, is the colour film I succeeded in takine of the Iguazu Falls on the River Par- ana where the three c )uncle.: of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay adjoin. The Iguazu is a tri' ere— the Parana. It rises in the hills of Curitiba in southern Br.tzil, and just above the main falls the river, dotted with numerous is- lands, opens out in all its maj- esty to a width of 4360 yards, There are cat "sets for two miles above th 200 -foot precipice over which the water thunders on a frontage of approximately 2,700 ,yards. The falls are wider than Niagara by half as much again, and higher by some thirty to forty feet. But it is not the measurement or the comparison which is interesting: rather it is the majesty and splendour of the falls themselves as they come crashing through the tropical un- dergrowth to fling their tons of white and yellow -stained water down upon rock ledge and para- pet into a seething caldron which flings beck its bursting spray high into the sky, painting the most beautiful rainbows one can imagine. Orchids in profusion hang upon the quivering branches of water -ruffed trees and a myr- iad birds and butterflies fly ecstatically over and under the outflowing water. We walked down among nar- row crevices and were deafened by the roar of the water's voices; we looked from left to right and behind and below and there was always water — through trees, over trees, among the rocks and over the rocks — and suddenly, as we come closer to the largest fall of all, we, too, were envel- SALLY'S SALLIES "44 d' (1,A "I'm on a strict diet, you know; the lunch was lovely, dear." oped, covered with spray as we tried to pierce a way through the silvery mist, I thought the film would be glorious if only a part of it were successful, and to my great joy it Is, giving us a lasting record in colour of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world — From "The Road Grew No ]\boss," by F. W. Klayman Chaffes'. Magic World For Ski Fraternity Alpine skiing is something more than the thrill of an open slope and deep powder snow. It is a new and magic world where the ski fraternity, a unique inter- national clan bent on fast sport and matching social pace, con- gregate for the winter. Starting with the first snowfall at such ski centers as Garmisch, Inns- bruck, Kitzbuehel, and St, Anton, an atmosphere of gaiety envel- opes the region and draws an ex- citing mixture of fortune hunt- ers, gay divorcees, eligible but confirmed bachelors and sensa- tion seekers from all over the world. Matching the flow of Canadian and American students, secretar- ies, young marrieds and chronic ski friends jetting over to Austria and Bavaria for the Easter holi- days or a week's AWOL from care, are many people converg- ing from the cities of Europe, leaving school or work behind for a few d'tys in the snow country, They come for the fes- tive spirit, and incidentally, to ski. The party life is in tempo with the sport: Though fast, it is in- formal, centering around Alpine towns and villages, swinging into high gear each evening as the sun goes down. Tea dances, get- togethers and gatherings spring up everywhere, the day's skiing is hashed over, friendship and conviviality bloom. An indication of the sport's importance as a social institution is its effect on the fashion world, top Canadian, U.S. and European designers each year present a new line of boldly styled ski and apeas ski ensem- bles. This year's 1 o w excursion fares, combined with airlines' ex- pense -cutting innovations, bring the European ski scene to peo- ple who never before considered Kitzbuehel or Garmisch within reach, George Paley, Lufthansa German Airline' Ski Specialist knowing the Alpine ski picture and its bubbling social life, aims his winter ski program directly at students and young workers. Booking at choice pensions rather than big hotels, he counts on the ski schedule and evening revelry to take care of all but breakfast meal needs, breakfast provided by the pensions, The program is bare, stripped of extras, yet of- fers full ski arrangements and accommodations, advance snow reports, ski school advice, a wealth of facts about each area, Besides the top Bavarian and Austrian ski resorts featured in Paley's plans are those of France, Italy and Switzerland. The social aspect of Alpine skiing proves that skiers, after all, are not really crazy, as is sometimes thought, There's more than meets the eye to a person who travels thousands of utiles to plummet down a mountain on a pair of boards, '1'o get the best idea of what, skiing has to offer, and why people go to Europe to tdo it, look in on Garmisch or Kitzbuehel some February. We might even suggest you leave your skiis behind. Enlightening News: A com- munity in Michigan called Para- dise belied its name the other day—local thermometers regis- tered 20 degrees below zero.

Linda is the current Miss Universe, BONICLES /61,14SEFA1111 My column this week, if you wanted to give it a sub -title, could be called "Column I,0.I." That is to say "Items of Inter- _ est" culled from recent letters, conversation and other sources. The first concerns water short- - age and that I am hearing about from all quarters, In a letter from a reader near Shelburne the writer says this: "We are so terribly short of water . , , I only wash dishes once a day and use pots and pans but spar- , ingly. We have to save every drop we can for the cattle as my husband is unable to draw water, and, since my recent ill- ness, I am not permitted outside at all." I received that letter just be. tore the big snowstorm, Sncw won't make it any easier getting around but at least it will be a means of saving water. I remem- ber years ago, under similar cir- cumstances, I used to keep a cop- per boiler on the kitchen stove e.11 the time and kept filling it and re -filling it with pails of clean, packed snow, And oh, there is nothing so soft as fresh melted snow, Naturally, there vas never any shortage of wa- ter for house use or laundry purposes, Partner had three troughs for the cattle, two in- side the barnyard and one out. He kept the troughs full of snow and water the same way, It all meant extra ,work but you don't think of the work during a wa- ter shortage. However, snow wasn't always available. At such time we had to buy water, That meant having it come in by the tank load, Now I see farmers in that same dis- trict buying water again, And in plenty of other places loo. Even in residential areas west of here water is being trucked in for household purposes. One house that we nearly bought the present owner is buying water. How little we appreciate wa- ter when we've got it, Water trickles out of leaky faucets; runs off roaf tops into ditches and septic tanks and is used generously all day long. The only ones who save water are small boys sent to wash their hands before meals! In summer lawns and gardens are watered up to the very last drop allowed by the local water commission. I ant sorry for anyone short of water but I do feel a lot could be done individually to allevi- ate the situation on farms and in the home. When we were out West we used to draw water : from the sloughs in spring for washing purposes. And we al- ' ways had big barrels to catch ' the run-oN from the house and barn, We are not used to such primitive ways these days but when the necessity arises there is much we might learn from previous generations.

Since 1 have been under the weather there have been letters and phone calls every day. In our immediate neighbourhood people are equal- ly kind. There is always some- one coining in to see if Partner wants any shopping done, or any other little chore. As for wash- ing Dee and Joy say bundle it up and we will take it home. But I guess we are independent, we dabble it out ourselves a little at a time — except yes- terday when Partner had a big wash — sheets and things, I had to laugh .. , he said "I could get along fine if it wasn't for the interruptions — the doorbell, the baker or the oil -truck — there's always something."

Frieeds near here are in much the same situation, The wife has been in bed eight weeks with a heart condition. Her husband is doing all the work and was getting along fine — until the snow crime. Being elderly he is not physically able to deal with it. So there was his snow -filed driveway and in spite of alt the talk about unemployment he couldn't find a man to shovel it out. Partner is thankful that, so long as he lakes it easy, he can shovel his own driveway, a.td help out our neighbours too What do you think c'f this for a coincidence? Our sun and daughter, although in widely se - periled districts both had a fire scare on the same day. Two tire reels came racing up the street to a club house just oppo.,ite Dee's place, She never did see any fire or smoke so probably the fire was confined- to the kitchen, But imagine what a thrill the boys had seeing fire tt ucks so close at hand. Next door to Bob a neighbour wanted to make sure his car would start in the morning So he put a light bulb over the motor and a blanket on top of it to hold in the heat. Under the hood, not on top of it! In the morning there was a big hole in the blanket, Being wool it had only smoldered. On that occasion there was no fire alarm as no one knew anything about it until the damage was done. But think what could have hap- pened had the blanket been in- flammable. Well, the time of the deep freeze seems to be over. At this minute it is 25 above zero. From deep 'freeze we now seem to hsve come to the time of the big snow, What They Looked At In Victorian Days The Queen's and Prince Al- bert's concern both for the pro- gress of photography and for the dissemination of knowledge through photographs is shown in many ways. Their interest, for instance, in Sir David Brewster's lenticular stereoscope at the Great Exhibition gave the great- est impetus to visual education in the nineteenth century. No English firm had been prepared to risk the commercial manufac- ture of the stereoscope, consider- ing that (Sir) Charles Wheat - stone's earlier instrument (which was not suitable for photographs) had met with no success.. Realizing the advantages of Brewster's design over Wheat - stone's, Jules Duboscq foresaw a great future for it in connection with photography, and con- structed a number of stereoscopes for display at the 1851 Exhibition, At the Crystal Palace the three- dimensional effect of stereoscopic daguerreotypes when viewed hi the stereoscope aroused Queen Victoria's admiration, As a re- sult of the interest shown by the Queen, Duboscq was flooded with orders, and English optical - instrument makers then also took up the manufacture of stereo- scopes, of which nearly a quarter of a million were sold in Lon- don and Paris within three months. When the comparatively ex- pensive stereoscopic daguerreo, types were replaced by glass transparencies, and soon after- wards by paper prints from collo- dion negatives, the price of stereoscopic slides was brought within reach of everyone. Stereo- grams of buildings and scenery in all parts of the world .were soon available, and by 1858 the London Stereoscopic Company was in a position to advertise the astonishing number of 100,000 different views. By this time the stereoscope had congacrt'd the t\',u';. :utd lending lihrarit'e (',c lti: 1, exchange of pictures, i\'!en wo- men and children, rich and ;.uor, gazed into this "Optical wonder of the age" — the television set of the Victorian era, Like the photograph album soon to come, the stereoscope found 0 place in every Victorian drawing roost, providing "refined amusement coml'ned with useful instruc• tion" — the criterion of Victorian recreation, — From "Victoria 11," by Helmut and Alison Cern- sheim.

KELLY AND EX -KELLY — Princess Grace of Monaco does soma entertaining, The visitor is Gene felly, ' , tis tiny nation for a dancing appearance at the Monte Co.'s Australia Puts Up An Iron Curtain Australia's bloodthirsty wild dogs, the dingos, are on the ram- page in a new burst of savage slaughter. In some cases, a sin- gle dog has slain 600 full-grown sheep in a night. Dingos teach their pups to be killers, just as prehistoric tribes taught their young men. They kill sheep after sheep, not be- cause of hunger so much as the sheer Inst of slaughter, So powerful are the dog's wolflike jaws that once it grips its prey it never lets go, but tears away the flesh in huge thanks, \'et the dingo itself is no big- ger than a collie and when kept in a 7.00 looks as docile and com- panionable as any family pet of similar build. Until recently, however, din- gos have been destroying 500,- 000 sheep and lambs a year in Queensland al o n e, Attacking rnost persistently in the prov- ince's western area, the marau- ders have driven many wool breeders into the bankruptcy courts. According to government esti- mates, they have reduced this region's sheep p:!ptliatian .,rtrm 14,000,000 to 13,000,000 since 1950, But now graziers have estt- blished a new defence line, 7,000 miles of closely -limited iron fence to hold off killer packs. In Queensland the fence is 3,500 miles long, 6 ft. ti in. high, com- pletely enclosing 210,038 square miles cf richest :•beep -raising country. In the same area, some 600,- 000 cattle are pastured, and din- goes feed just as savagely On calves as lambs. This new harrier now (inks up with an older 1,700 miles cf fencing, running over mountains, through lush valleys and rich :a'mlands to South Australia, where it reaches the shores of the Great Australian Bight. There is a third "iron curtain," forming a safe breeding area for srheep in Western Australia, These fences have to be pa- trolled like any war -time fron- tier. Kangaroos don't like such ob- structions. Some charge the fence at high speed and crash through, leaving gaps for prowl- ing dingo packs to sneak in and run berserk among (locks and herds. Descended from the wolves of Asia, the dingo first came to Australia as the pet or hunting dog of migrating aborigines. It's easily the most destructive im- migrant the country has ever received!

Sea Voices Sound In San Francisco in San Francisco and its v:.,riegltied environs, people not only talk about the weather, they listen to it, too. This is the sea- son of our lutes, the time when low fog occurs nearly every morning at the mouths of our rivers and bays. These fogs are unlike to great clouds of moist cotspaw fluff that stalk in, archbacked like Hallo- we'en, on midsummer afternoons on the coast, from Alaska almost everywhere south to the Santa Barbara archipelago. These rules steal in after mid- night, silently down the rivers and canyons in the coast range like nocturnal back -fence prow- lers, The tules come off the delta marshes when the land cools down, bringing their music with them as their gray tails flick past the lighthouses and fog stations that are massed like the San Francisco Symphony around this great mountain -rimmed, sca- washed orchestra pit, These rules have a London look to them, but the sound is or,he,trally pitched to coastal. California in its doleful diaphony. They make our midwinter morn- ings musical in the way that Scottish bagpipes perhaps wake the Highland mists with their shrill reveille. Only our sym- phonic arrangement of ocean fog signals speak their sonorous warnings to groping mariners in a deeper and more vibrant range all around the rim of the sea that surrounds two-thirds of this cold, dripping city. This is the kind of music that better lends itself to the sensitive interpretation of one of our sea beaten old bar pilots than to the San Francisco Symphony's fam- ed Maestro Enrique Jorda. They have an "ear" for all this fog, these San Francisco pilots, and the romance of its serious music is enriched by their wary transla- tion of sounds into places in the cold gray void of these midwinter mornings, writes Harlan Trott in The Christian Science Monitor. "Ahoy; there," yelled a "lost" aaeronaut spobting a farmer gaz- ing up at him through a rift in the fog, "where am I?" "Up in a balloon," shouted back the farmer, This Is just the kind of a dilem- ma the fog stations dispel for the San Francisco pilots, so that even when there is no break in the fog they bring their ships MOVIES IN THE SKY — Movies will be a regular thing this spring on TWA jets.

There's • a two-second 'wa-a-a-rn," a four -second silence, then another two-second "wa-a-a-rn," followed this time by a one -second silence, then the second two-second blast, follow- ed by 49 seconds of eerie silence. Gradually the "music" astern fades out, but inshore 'the air horns gradually rise to a Valky- rian tempo as Point Reyes' one blast every 45 seconds, and Point Bonito and Mile Rocks.all voice their friendly dissonance at once. By the time the white cylindrical tower at Mile Rocks on the southern side of the Golden Gate entrance is a twice -a -minute three -second blast broad on the starboard beam, the air horns on the high red span dead ahead are beginning to outshout Pt. Diablo's siren a mile down the Marin shore. Now the rumble of traffic on the bridge intrudes on the au- thentic sea sounds and the fog music is loudest between the midchannel foghorn on t h e mighty span and LIme Point's rhapsody of diaphragm horn and chime hard under the Presidio shore of the city itself. The inner harbor orchestration, the air horns of Alcatraz, Yerba Buena, the Western Pacific Rail- road ferry ship, of Fort Mason and Hunter's Point, blend with a medley of pier -head bells and sirens such as every San Fran- cisco office worker enjoys, In- deed from the far-out Farallons to the mist -scarfed ferry tower, these lutes iinake our midwinter mornings one glorious cacophony of fog -muted music.

"it's snowing too hard," she said, "You'll never get out," But by 2,30, Palleison, hatless and gloveless, had dug his car out of the drifts, 13y 7.30 after passim; hundreds of stranded cars along the highways, he reached the base of the long hill which leads to his training camp. Then Patterson parked his car in the side of a drift, trudged up the hill, and, several hours later, went back to work.

With luck, I have a 50-50 chance to live six or eight months ." Calmly, Dr. Tom Dooley made that grim self prognosis in No- vember 1959, The frail, blue-eyed young Irish -American had just received the $10,000 Mutual of Omaha award for his medical missionary work in the jungles of Laos. Earlier that year, Dooley had been operated on at Memor- ial Hospital, New York, for a fast -spreading chest cancer. Be- fore "going home" to Southeast Asia, the cocky young doctor, then 32, insisted on making a 40 - day lecture and TV tour of the United States, • "begging, bum- ming, borrowing, and from time to time, stealing just a little bit" for his string of makeshift jun- gle hospitals, with mats for beds, close to the Chinese border. His schedule was filled with the zeal of a man in a desperate hurry, Dooley had been in a hur- ry, in fact, since the Vietminh Communists crushed the French at Dienbienphu in 1954. Then, as a U.S. Navy medical officer, he had helped to evacuate 610,000 Indo-Chinese from Red -dominat- ed North Vietnam, and had stay- ed on in Laos as a civilian M,D. Now, cancer hastened his steps. "Cancer creates fear, and fear comes from ignorance," he told his American audiences. "Cancer should be regarded as just an- other incident in our lives — like a broken leg. I want people to see me moving around, talking, planning my life — even though I have a dubious future." Luck was with 'him. His can- cer temporarily arrested, h e headed back to Laos with enough money from his lectures and from his best-selling books, "De- liver. Us From Evil" and "Edge of Tomorrow," to continue his care of thousands of suffering Asians. Two months ago, pain began to bite at Tom Dooley's spine, Taken to a Hong Kong hospital, he was told that he had a "bony deterioration of the vertebrae." The cancer had spread from his chest to his spine. Flown to Mem- orial Hospital in New York last Dec. 27, wearing a heavy back brace which he called his "iron maiden," Dooley grinned and said: "All right, it's malignant, But I am not going to quit .. . until my back, my brain, my blood, and my bones collapse," Heavy sedatives dulled his ag- ony; his only visitors at rvrenmor- ial Hospital were his immediate family, and Cardinal Spellman, who on the day of Dooley's 34th birthday last month, paid the sick man a call. "I tried to assure him that in his 34 years, he had done what very few have done in the allotted scriptural life span," said the cardinal, The night after his birthday, Torn Dooley' died quietly in his sleep.
