Dear Master Badley, I success.
I'd like to thank you very much foe
being so kind to reply to the reques`,
had made on the ball
I ocn,
The balloon which you found was the
product of an experiment which I had
been working on in my chemistry class
at Kelvyn Park Iligh School in Chicago
Illinois.
. I had been working very hard on this
experiment and I was so happy when
I had read your very kind reply.
The balloon was fastened to a large
bottle in my classroom, into which
I had poured water. By doing this the
balloon soon became filled with hydra -
gen and I let it rise from the campus
of my school.
It involved many other complications
to set this balloon free, besides the
bottle and water, and it would take too
long a time to explain it in detail, so
I hope I have given you a very rough
sketch of the procedure I followed. I
The reason that such a long lime
has elapsed from when you sent the I
letter and my receiving it was due to
,.the fact that I was in Washington, D.C.

the hood, silver horses on all
four fenders, and six-shooters for

a tailor as a child, he later work-

Hah I Hah ! Hah !
From a mass of people who are
merely intelligent you can pick
out the highly creative types by
their sense of humor.
Well, it seems to work with
kids, anyway, This is according
to a couple of psychologists
named Getzels and J a c k s o n,
whose probing over a four-year
period was recently reported by
the B.C. Teacher, Problem was
how best to pick out the gifted
children, You can't do it just by
IQ and teacher evaluation, say
G and J, because teachers have a
clear-cut preference for kids with
high IQ's, who have a strong con-
forming tendency.
"The emphasis on sense of hu-
mor is so marked," G and J re-
port, "that it is one characteristic
that sharply sets apart the high -
creativity group from all other
groups."
Asked to do a story on "Face
cream and divorce," as part of
the tests, one creative child
wrote: "She wore so much cold
cream on her !ace at night that
her head would skid across the
pillow and hit him on the head,
He Is now contemplating a new
skid -proof face cream."
Left out of the study were chil-
dren who rated high in both in-
telligence and creativity, since
the problem at this stage was to
isolate the two qualities and find
distinguishing tests. Study of this
group is now being done.

The Search For A Cancer Antigen
Chemical Is Key To A Vaccine
By DR. A. CLARK GRIFFIN
Head, Department of Biochemis-
try, M. D. Anderson Hospital,
University of Texas. (Written for
Newspaper Enterprise Assn,)
HOUSTON, Tex. — (NEA) —
An antigen is a chemical so
.foreign to us that our systems
produce antibodies which neutra-
lize or destroy it.
Infectious bacteria and viruses
contain antigens, so our systems
destroy them and prevent or
cure the diseases they cause.
If all cancer cells contained
8 common antigen and if we
could obtain it in reasonably
pure form, we could use the
antigen as a vaccine.
Vaccine then might prevent
'cancer as it does smallpox.
Or the vaccine might be used
to rouse our natural defenses so
our- systems could cure cancer
as they do the common cold.
Or we could inject the antigen,
or vaccine, into animals and
have them produce the anti-
bodies against it. We could then
treat cancer as diphtheria and
tetanus are' treated -- by in-
jecting the antibody -1 o a d e d
watery part of the animal's
blood into patients, Antiserum,
they call it,
• Theoretically, a common anti-
gen could be the answer to can-
cer, 'Theoretically,
Actually, we now know that
many cancers -- possibly all of
them — contain antigens.
But the most familiar anti-
gens are not common to all
kinds of cancer, And they often
are (1) too impure and weak to
cause the system to react or (2)�
so strong that they themselves
cause cancer.
Recent reports from reeearche
centres as widely separated as
New York, Tokyo, Moscow and
Stockholm have revived hope
that many or all cancers may
contain a common antigen. In
these centres, scientists have
described chemicals — still in an
impure state — that they find
in several cancers but not in
normal tissues.
At this stage, there is con-
siderable conflict in identifica-
tion of the basic vaccine ma-
terial. One hopes that purifica-
tion evenutually will indicate
that all these vaccines within
the selfsame antigen.
Dr. K. Yunoki and Dr, S.
Otsuji, Japanese scientists visit-
ing in my laboratory, and I have
attacked the problem from a
different angle. We have sought
for a "toxohormone" — a poison
that we felt might be produced
by tumors to paralyze the body's
defenses,
The cancer cell does produce,
poisons apparently in the same
manners as infectious cells do.
Anthrax, some tuberculosis bacil-'
li, typhus, cholera and plague
organisms release poisons which
harm the -host.
We have found a specific
toxohormone in every human
tumor so far examined and never
in normal tissues. We have
purified it to a point where it
is now 50,000 times as concentrat-
ed as it was in the crude toxo -
hormone with which we first
began to work, One -millionth of
a tumor is toxohormone,
Toxohormone lessens the
liver's ability to produce cata-
last, a substance which builds
hemoglobin for healthy red cells
and neutralizes poison concentra-
tions. In the livers of animals
and humans with advanced can-.
cer, catalase production is re-
duced and the host often deve-
lops anemia,
is this what paralyzes im-
munity? Toxohormone from
the tumor?

Hunting For Eggs
In The Haymow

dren hunted for 90,000 Easter
Eggs may help eslabli,h the
magnitudinous proclivities of the
Lone Star State, but it serves
also to pique my memories about
hunting for eggs. I suppose I've
found 40,000 eggs in my time,
many of which had vacated their
rights through extended desue-
tude in secret repository.
One of the jobs falling to 1!le
youngster on the farm was to
find eggs, and the poultry 'i d
the job of hiding them. 1 rettr
to an era when roads were net
paved, and the occasional auto-
mobile that chugged by was
watched to see if it made the
hill, and hens enjoyed a freedom
now lost to them, even as you
and I. All the animals had Ibis
freedom, more or less, although
pigs were usually fenced in be-
cause they were harder to catch
and they loved gardens. Toe
hens roamed the acres, and dust-
ed under the petunias by ti,c
front door, and laid as they list-
ed.
True, there were nests in the
henhouse, but when you had 135
laying hens and the nests rove
up six eggs, you were free to
assume the game was on. hens
sought out the oddest places to
lay. Once I found 11 beautifo1
eggs on a buggy seat, We mad
a patent leather buggy which
Grandfather had acquired in a
lavish moment, and while it
. made a horse feel proud, it was
a mean one to ride in. The old
buggy had comfort, but this new
one had none. It was kept in the
carriage shed under a cloth, and
one morning I caught a hen com-
ing out from under the clog.
She jumped to the floor and
lifted her joyous song, but then
she saw me 'and tried to tell me
that she was a liar, She skirted
the periphery and made an exit,
after whcih I investigated, and
I found the eggs on the seat,
How a hen could collect 11 eggs
there is a mystery, It is doubtful
it human hand could lay them
out without having some roll off.
I naturally looked on the floor
of the buggy to see if she had
overshot, but she had not, There
they were, and small as I was
1 had already learned enough
about human nature so I ran to
ret Aunt Abbie, who came out
and saw them, She looked at me,
as if surmising 'that I had set
this up' for effect, but Aunt
Abbie knew hens, too, and she
admitted the premise. With her
as a witness, my veracity was
unchallenged,
Hunting for eggs in the hay-
mow was always tun. Once, very
young, I started down the lad-
der with a hafful of eggs, and
missed a rung, If I am vouch-
safed any honour in this world,
from first to last, I think I merit
fame for falling 10 feet with a
hatful of eggs, and landing in
a heap on the barn floor with
the eggs intact. This is not an
easy thing to do, and I have
never done it but that once But
on the old farm an egg was
held in respect. It was a day's
work for a hen, and as good as
coin in any exchange. Otu did
not lightly destroy eggs, and if
occasion arose one look their
part. So a boy's making an er-

you that she has been using it

and the hen, You were lucky to
find it, and mark the spot in
your memory, It sort of pleases
you to realize that the hen went
to so much trouble to find lois

it every day under an illusion
that she has a secret. So, the
next day, having given the hen
time to come back to the nest
and make her contribution, ,vou
approach the thing, and you find
37 eggs in it. During the day,
somehow, 30 other hens have

a uniformity of purpose, and the
secret nest can hardly he called

had some way to float a dubi-

if it could be trusted. IIf the egg
hunter chanced to find a hatful
of questionable eggs and didn't

of eggs would go on all afternoon

for market were respectable.

many years back. The Chicago
Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals
were engaged in a Memorial

Secretary of Agriculture Free-
man is asking the U.S, Congress
to take a new look at agricul-
ture.
He has placed before the legis-
lators a program which is prob-
ably more comprehensive, and
more complex in its application
to the farm economy, than any
yet considered.
Not that any farm legislation
is simple, The problem itself is
complex, It is not one problem,
it is many,
* • •
This is basis of the administra-
tion's approach, That is, to deal
with each problem or commodity
independently, In many ways it
Is an approach long advocated by
the National Grange. It is also in
line with the policies of the
National Farmers Union.
It is contrary to the policies of
the American Farm Bureau
Federation. In philosophy and
procedure it is also contrary to
the farm policy of the previous
administration under Secretary
Benson,, , *
Few at this point are brash
enough to predict how it will
work out in practice, 'Even
Secretary Freeman says, "it is no
panacea - just a license for hard
work."
Actually most of the devices
for production and marketing
control are already available un-
der the present law, It is just
that they have never been ap-
plied so comprehensively or on
such a wide scale as contemplat-
ed in the new bill,
The bill's commodity -by -com-
modity approach is seen as open-
ing up an entirely new vista in
farmer relationships -one which
will draw certain groups of like
interests together and probably,
by the same token, bring some
divisions,
In other words, the new system
would tend to draw producers to-
gether, as distinguished from
handlers and processors.
What effect this would have, if
it comes about, is hard to predict.
But there is little doubt that
much controversy will revolve
around the legislation.
The administration is eager to
"get the show on the road." That
Is, to have Congress hold hear-
ings immediately on the legisla-
tion.
Farm organizations are losing
no time In an intensive study of

ed and lengthy statements to be
made by farm organization offi-
cials before congressional com-
mittees,
In fact the Farmers Union and
the National Grange promptly
and jointly sponsored a tneeting
in Washington of some 20 repre-
sentatives of commodity and
other general organizations.
.Some see this as indicative of
a new line-up among the fat'nm or-
ganizations, If so, it suggests the
possibility of a rise in Influence
of the National Grange -Farmers
Union combination and perhaps
a corresponding decline in the
long-term predominance of the
American Farm Bureau.
e , •
The Farm Bureau has been
close to farm leaders on Capitol
I-Ii11 for many years and was
counted among the top advisers
to former Secretary Benson, It
is the largest of the farm organ-
izations, writes Josephine Ripley
in the Christian Science Monitor.
The new bill "is not anything
we will support," according to a
spokesman of the bureau, "It
regiments agriculture and could
result in lower farm income on
a per family basis."
One of the "most objection-
able" things in the new bill, as
the Farm Bureau sees it, is that
"it takes away from Congress the
power to legislate and sets up
committees appointed at the dis-
cretion of the Secretary of Agri-
culture to take over the role of
Congress.",
The bureau has reference to
the farm advisory committees,
representing various commodi-
ties, or groups of commodities,
with whom the Secretary would
consult with respect to policies
and programs. The programs so
shaped would be submitted to
Congress. If approved, they
would then be submitted to the
farmers concerned in a referen-
dum.
The Farm Bureau views all
this. with alarm, doesn't believe
Congress would want to dele-
gate this kind of authority to the
Secretary of Agriculture.

The National Grange, on the
other hand, has long advocated

objectives," according to a

teacher. When this principle has
been lost sight of, there is rea-
son to suspect the efficacy of
education generally... .
Students are still spending
more time on English than on
any other subject, but they are
emerging with little to show for
it, The report of the National
Council of Teachers of English
tells, among other things, that
last year, of 600,000 students who
took college entrance examina-
tions, 150,000 flunked English,
and that more than two-thirds
of the country's colleges and uni-
versities now find it necessary to
offer remedial courses in English
to incoming freshmen,
The council's studies showed
also that qualified teachers of
English are in short supply, and
as a consequence, many teachers
handling classes in that subject
are poorly prepared, About half
of them do not have a college
major in English.
English, as we have indicated,
is not so much a subject as the
key to all the others. It is easy to
understand the attention given to
the basic ability to read; it is the
first skill of any consequence that
the student acquires. But students,
are not being prepared to follow
up on it, The object of reading
is the ability to assimilate facts
from the printed page, and pres-
ent training does not equip stu-
dents to comprehend what they
read,

Discipline in the Horace
Proverbs 4:1-4; 10:1; 13:24;
20:11; 22:6; 29:17;
Epheselans 6:1-4
Me►nory Selection: '!'rain up a
child in the way he should go;
and when he is old, he will not
depart from it, Proverbs 22:6.
1 saw a group of about 75 ex-
cited children. Was it a gang
war? Two girls of Grade VIII
were fighting over a boy. They
had fought the night before. One
young spectator explained it,
"Their mothers don't care." But
some smothers of the neighbor-
hood did care and called the po-
lice. The crowd, now more than
a hundred, scattered and the
girls and boy were taken to the
police station.
A fifteen -year-old who had to
quit school and marry and whose
marriage is proving to be very
unhappy, said, "My mother didn't
care what I did or how late it
was when I came in at night. I
wish she had," The philosophy
of a few years ago that the full
and free expression of children
should never be hindered, has
played a significant part in in-
reasing our prison population
and decreasing the average age
of the prisoners.
Children need discipline. "He
that spareth his rod hetet') his
son: but he that loveth hint
chasteneth him betimes." But
parents must remember that ex-
ample is the greater feacher, It
they are deceitful, the children
will be more influenced by that
than by teaching by words.
While some parents are too
soft with their children, others
are too hard. They go to pieces
in casual anger and the child's
welfare, if not his life, is in
danger. This is tragic. The scars
on the body may go away in
time, but not the scars on the'
soul. If the parent hasn't got self-
control, how can he expect to con-
trol his children. Every parent
should be a devout Christian "The
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, long suffering, gentleness,
goodness,. faith, meekness, sell -
control." Every parent can see la-
ter how he could have done bet-
ter. But if he has walked Close
with God and done his very best
In the light of the Scriptures, he
need not accuse himself, ,Better
parents make for better children.

WEEKLY FARM REPORT
(By J. Carl Hemingway)
I just received the report of the loss
ratios for the Automobile policies of
Co -Op, Insurance in Ontario for the
Jan -Mar. period of 1961, For the whole
province the loss from accidents is
down about 4 percent, In many areas
we have had a better than average
winter for driving and I suppose that
this is the main reason for the improv-
ed
mproved rate of accidents but I would like to
think that perhaps we arc beginning
to drive just 'a little more carefully.
Just a little foresight in the recog•
nition of danger would help a great
deal; just a little courtesy would re-
move many of the irritations that lead
to accidents; just a little realization
of the many minutes we waste would
make us less likely to drive like mad
to save 5 minutes in getting to the next
top where we will probably fritter
away the five minutes that we saved
on the road would free many a hos-
pital bed.
Our car Insurance costs us a consid•
erable amount of money and we are
prone to complain of the high rates.
When you feel like complaining against
these Insurance Companies for charg-
ing so much just remembered that it is
you, the driver, who sets the rate. Al.
so there are very few pure accidents.
Some of you no doubt wonder what
problems keep the personel of your
farm Organizations busy, Let me list a
dew that are currently fjacing you.
One that requires immediate atm.
tion is the matter of licensing tractors.
if they travel on the road. This would
not only include the tractor that is
used to draw feeds and fertilizers from
town but would also include any trac-
tor going from one farm to another by
the one farmer.
feel quite sure that the amount
paid by farmers in road axes on their
farms to townships and counties would
quite easily pay for any damage or
wear their tractors cause to the roads.
Why then should they be 'forced to con-
tribute more for the convenience of
motorists and truckers? if this move
on the part of Government is to be
stopped your organization will need
strong support from you.
A second problem is this matter of
Regional Planning. We, as yet, in Hu-
ron are not seriously affected but the
time Is approaching when somebody is
going to decide whether your farm will
remain as Agricultural land or be coy-
Cred by factories or houses.
After the decision has been made by
the particular governing body concern-
ed you will have no voice in the mat-
ter. Perhaps you like to farm, yet your
land has been designated for housing.
When the need dor houses arises your
land will be taken and you will be re-
moved, forcibly jf necessary..True you
;vill get a good ptiee but you may still
rot wish to sell. On the other hand
ours may bo farm land and you have
co opportunity to collect the attractive
i'rice chat your neighbour receives for
Fou fig. •F,..,

Dog Lifeguards
In The Mountains
Exulting in the crisp moun-
.rctin air, the skiers flashed down
the slope. Then, one of theme;
happening to glance b a c k,
!creamed s warning: "Aval-
anche!"
It was too late. Within seconds
the fifteen skiers were com-
pletely engulfed by a gigantic
wall of snow and ice.
The catastrophe was seen from
the nearby Swiss resort of Mur -
ren. Rescuers hurried to the
ilcene. Probing carefully into the
snow, they dug out fourteen at
the victim.; but were unable to
trace the other man.
With night and a blizzard com-
ing on, the tr,cuers were about
to abandon the search. Then
Moritz, a mongrel dog they had •
brought with them, began to
bark and paw at the snow fifty
yards from where the rescuers
were working.
Th e men ignored hon, but
Moritz made such a commotion
that hi. owner and a few other
men began digging at the spat.
Twenty feet down they found
the fifte. nth hien — alive, but
only just.
Moritz didn't know it, but he
was indirectly responsible for
the foundation of a mountain
rescue service, for a newspaper
report about his '.eat was read
by Ferdinand Schmutz cf Berne,
an expert on dogs.
Schmitt?. was deeply impreFsed
and he experimented, that win-
ter of 1934, using dogs to trace
objects buried in the snow.
The second world war broke
out and Schmutz was appointed
consultant to the Swiss army on
training of patrol, messenger
and Red Cross dogs. He suggest-
ed that dcgs should be trained to
find avalanche victims.
The army was not very inter-
ested — until Schmutz proved
that during the first war, aval-
anches, accidental or deliberate,
had caused 50,000 casualties;
then the army allowed him to
train fifty man -and -dog rescue
teams.
Even so, he had little co-opera-
tion from the diehards, who had
always searched for avalanche
victims by lining up as many
men as could be mustered and
equipping each man with a long
rod with which to prdbe the
Snow.
Almost shoulder to shoulder
the men then advanced across
the snow. It was a painstaking
busniess,
Then Schmutz had a bit of
luck. He was working at Inter-
laken in the winter of 1939-40,
when an accident occurred on
the Jungfrau.

ing trained In the old technique

THEY LOST THEIR MITTENS — Kittens aren't the only ones who lose their mittens. Mrs.
Theodore lekas of Harrison School, Minneapolis, shows a collection of items school children
lost in just one winter.
st the cold, had been put in a
spot too deep to extricate him-
self. He had a breathing appara-
tus and was reasonably comfort-
able under the snow,
Flags marked the area to be
searched by the troops; if they
did not find the guinea-pig with-
in a certain time then the offi-
cer in charge would call off
the stunt and the man would be
dug up.
Then drama overtook the ex-
ercise. A sudden, violent blizzard
hit the mountain and the troops
had to fight their way to shel-
ter.
When at last the storm sub-
sided, half an hour later, the
marker flags were buried by
snow,
Officers quickly put in new
o n e s, but not in their right
places. Now they had really lost
their guinea-pig; his oxygen
would be running out, and dusk
was falling.
Then Schmutz, accompanied
by his favourite dog, Gallix, ar-
rived on the spot to see the ex-
ercise. Told of the emergency,
he immediately put Gallix to
work.
The dog raced to a point far
outside the marker flags and
began to dig.
The officers in charge skid
that their man' could be nowhere
near that area, but soldiers be-
gan digging feverishly and
found their comrade. He was
still alive but in" desperate
straits.
Publicity given to the incident
convinced Swiss people that
there was something in the idea
of avalanche dogs after all and
by the end of the war Schmultz
had trained nearly 200 of them,
the majority Alsations.
After many experiments re
pound that only alsatians had the
strength, skill and incredible In-
stinct needed for the job.
Knowing his dogs, Schmutz
didn't even consider the famous
St, Bernard. The St. Bernard
uses his eyes, not his nose, to
find people, and after an aval-
anche there is nothing for the
eyes to see.
The nose and sixth -sense of a
trained Alsatian can find a roan
in minutes, often after human
rescuers have been searching for
many hours,
Last winter a policeman was
buried for nearly ten hours be-
fore a dog could be brought to
locate him. The man was soon
dug out and survived.
The dog's master is almost as
important as the dog itself. He
must be a skilled skier and
mountaineer, an expert in snow -
craft and first-aid—and he must
know his dog and what the ani-
mal is trying to tell him, rhe
harmony between some men and
their dogs is astonishingly sensi-
tive.
Sometimes an emergency is so
acute that a dog team is flown
in to find buried people. In t nis
way, three years ago, a dog
found three schoolchildren buri-
ed in a deep drift.
The clogs differ as much in
personality as their owners.
Some regard their work as fun,
others take it very seriously;
one must be forced to concen-
trate on the job, another is de-
votedly eager.
Modern Etiquette
By Anne Ashley
Q. Is the dessert at a dinner
considered a separate course?
A, Yes.
Q. Should a woman call on a
new neighbor in the same apart-
ment building?
A. An offer of friendship is
never out of place. In fact, the
fine old custom of calling on
new neighbobrs is done too in-
frequently these days, and I'm
heartily In back of anyone who
tries to revive it.
These days if you want to do
anything or go anywhere in good
weather you have to make up
your mind on the spur of the
moment. That way we took
advantage of the only two nice
days we had last week, sand-
wiched in between dull, rainy
weather. On one of those days
I went to Toronto and had quite
a day — the bus was in sight
when I ran into the office to get
my ticket.
My main object down town
was shopping — and what a bus-
iness that turned out to be. You
know, shopping is easy when you
start out with an open mind,
But when you know exactly
what you're looking for then you
often wind up on a wild goose
chase. I wanted drapes and a
throw for our bedroom -den but
none of the ensemble I saw were
suitable so I walked my legs off
for nothing. However, during
my exploring I passed through
the millinery section, Seated in
' front of a mirror was a lady try-
ing on a hat. I took one look at
her and immediately wanted
that hat. It was an off -shade
colour, exactly right to go with
the blue gold -flecked suit I was
wearing. There wasn't another
hat on the floor that was suit-
able. I stood in the background
in a dither of suspense while the
lady experimented with "my
hat", trying it this way and that,
Finally to my great relief she
got up and walked away — but
still with a backward glance. I
moved .in fast. Sure enough the
hat was just right for me - in
size, colour and even the price.
I'm telling you I knew that hat
was meant for me directly I saw
11. Have you ever had a . similar
experience? Possession is nine -
tenths of the law, so I wore it
home — after getting gloves to
go with it. And that, too, entail-
ed quite a hunt.
That done I went 10 visit a
friend who has been a semipri-
vate patient in a. large Toronto
hospital for five months. She is
getting every attention but I
thought, "oli clear, this place May
he all right for emergencies and
for those with a short but seri-
ous illness but it is no place for

Opera Co.
anyone with a chronic com-
plaint". After seeing the small,
dull rooms with no outlook other
than the grey walls of the next
building I realized how lucky
people are who can enjoy the
facilities of a modern hospital.
And I do mean "enjoy" because
even a sick person in st get a
lift of spirits amid bright sur-
roundings, Of course there is one
drawback — getting a bed is
next to impossible — a condition
which prevails in every district.
On my way to the hospital I
got another glimpse of life. My
taxi-driver was a nice young
fellow and while `we, waited for
a traffic light to change I said to
him — "Don't you get tired of
driving all day long?" "I sure
do," was the immediate reply,
Then he went on to tell me he
had been with a telephone com-
pany for five years and quit to
take what he thought was a bet-
ter job with the A, V. Roe Com-
pany. What happened after that
is common knowledge, Now as a
taxi-driver his take-home pay is
half what it used to be.
Next day the weather was still
good so Partner and I went to
Milton for the day. We stopped
at Bob's first and what a recep-
tion we got. Ross was playing
in the yard and called out ex-
citedly — "Grandma, Grandpa!"
Then he went .rushing into the
house calling as he went —
"Mummy, Grandma and Grand-
pa's here!" I'm telling you it
makes it worthwhile being
grandparents when you get that
kind of welcome,
While the boys were having
their afternoon nap Partner and
I visited former neighbbours and
it was with mixed' feelings that
we passed Ginger Farm on the
way. Our grand old house is un-
occupied now and looks very dif-
ferent from the days, when we
were there, Naturally we like
to think of it as it was and not
as it is, A good deal of farm
land in that arca has been re-
zoned industrial, Fire razed a
barn and a lovely old house
across the road from Ginger
Farm so now the place is the
headquarters of a trucking out-
fit. Green fields will soon be
a thing of the past, Truly "the
old order changeth". But the old
neighbours whom we visited had
not changed — they were still
as friendly as ever, and not so
busy but what they could sit
down and talk to us, And what
a treat it was to have a cup of
tea in a good old-fashioned farm
kitchen, with the tea kettle boil-
ing over a genuine wood fire in
the kitchen range. Sometimes we
wonder why we left it all. But
yet, when we got back to our
present location, it, too, seemed
liked home. After all, we have
a comfortable house and .good
neighbours so what more can we
want? Actually wherever you
live life is what you make it.

Bible Treasures
On Display
When Queen Elizabeth 11 visits
the Chapter House at Westmin-
ster'Abbey on May 16, she will
see in a scholarly exhibition "The
Bible in Britain," a' Greek New
Testament which belonged to her
ancestor Queen Elizabeth I.
This crimson, velvet -coveted
testament, loaned by Queens Col-
lege, Oxford, bears on each side
the arms of the first Elizabeth
and the initials "ER."
The testament is a symbol of
the continuity of the story of
Christianity in Britain in which
the Authorized (or King James)
Version of 1611 is an important
landmark.
The exhibition marks both the
350th anniversary of the publi-
cation of the King James Version
and the recent publication of the
New Testament of the New Eng-
lish Bible, the work of scholars
representing the major churches
of the British Isles except the
Homan Catholic.
An introduction to the exhibi-
tion shows the "visual aids"
which brought the scenes of the
Bible story to the eyes of the
people before printing made the
Scriptures available to the lay-
man. These include stained glass
panels, alabaster reliefs, and
painted wood panels.
The exhibits, well set uut on
purple backgrounds under glass,
show the beginnings of Christi-
anity in Britain going back to
Homan times when Britain was
the most remote province of the
Western Empire. Little remains
from those days, and nothing in
the way of a written Bible text.
There are just a few pictorial
representations of Biblical scenes
on silver, a treasure which is
thought to have been the booty
of barbarian raiders.
After the withdrawal of the
Roman legions in 410 the pagan
Saxon invaders drove the native
Christians before. them into the
west country and to the moun-
tains of Wales. Gospels from cen-
ters in these Celtic areas of Brit-
ain include the beautifully dec-
orated Book of Kells, copied in
Ireland, and the Lindisfarne Gos-
pels, written in Northumbria,
soon after 687 in honor of Saint
Cuthbert.
Thousands of peeple visited an
exhibition of the originals of
these two gospels shown recently
at Burlington House in aid of the
library fund of Trinity College,
Dublin,
Those who did not, now have
opportunity to inspect facsimiles
of the illuminated pages of the
gospels at the Chapter House, set
in the context of the history of
the Bible from the seventh to the
twentieth centuries.
Another early treasure, and
one not seen in London before,
the Chad Gospels, is a manuscript
from Lichfield Cathedral dating
from about A.D. 700, This is writ-
ten in bold script, possibly at a
Welsh center following the Irish
style of calligraphy, writes Mel-
ita Knowles in the Christian Sci-
foundland dried codfish trade

line in bottled Atlantic, packaged
seaweed and recorded seagull
squawks. A vacuum cleaner firm
might peddle tastefully -wrapped
bags of just plain dirt, for house-
wives in air-conditioned apart-
ments, There's no limit,
Olt(' M.11111[)1',
But the main empha; is of the
exhibition is on English versions
of the Bible, Copies are shown
of all the major versions from the
first translation of the gospels
into Anglo-Saxon, made before
the Norman Conquest, to the lat-
est, the New 'Testament of the
New English Bible published in
March, 19(11,
Early printed editions include
the first complete Bible printed
in English, the Coverdale Bible,
the translation made "out of
Dutche (i.e., G e r in a n) and
Latyn," and drawing on the Tyn-
dale and other versions,
Corpus Christi College, Oxford,
has loaned a copy of the King
James Version printed by H. Bar-
ker of London in 1611, and other
slightly later editions come from
the British and Foreign Bible
Society.

A shipping friend of my la•
!hen's told me that if I wanted
to help him 1 should start at
once to earn my own living, and
that if 1 agreed he would help
me to get a job as office hos
Accordingly, armed with h pair
of new kid gloves (bought before
the disaster) and litters of intro-
duction, I set forth.
141y visit to the Baltic Shipping
Exchange, where I had the thrill
of hearing members "called" in
a Stentorian voice, proved fruit-
less, because ,l'Ir, Sigismund
Mend, much regretted that the
vacancy for an office boy had
just been tilled; but my visit to
a ship and insurance brokers in
Crosby Square proved successful,
The principal of this long since
defunct firm looked at me and at
my kid gloves, and then asked
if I was prepared to sweep out
the office every morning, I re-
plied "certainly" with such con-
viction that he appointed me at
the prevailing wage of lOs Od per
week, (about $1,40), though
cleaning was not among my dut-
ies,
When I look back at those days
in Crosby Square 1 am filled
with atllao:ement, I was con-
stantly out delivering letters and
messages, and went daily to
Lloyd's. 1 never walked if 1
could rum, and learnt all the

from one street to another. We
sometimes w or k ed incredible
hours; mails had always to be
- caught, though letters were sel-
dom signed until• the last mo-
ment, and had then to be copied
in an old-fashioned tissue letter
book. If we missed the late fee
post at the local office we had
to go the GPO, and if we missed
that the Newcastle letters had to
be posted on the train at King's
Cross, We always started sharp
at 9 a.m., however late we were
the 'night before, and 3 p.m., not
1 p.m„ was the closing time on
Saturdays.
To other office boys I must
have seemed a strange freak,
clad as I always was (at the
Instigation of my parents' friend
and . prince of snob s, 'John
Shrimpton) in a frock coat and
silk hat—the more so because,
owing to our liberal supply of
them at home,, I was able to fol-
low Joseph Chamberlain's ex-
ample and wear an orchid in my
buttonhole! But there is no

Sudden Death On
A Race Track
ilis day bean early, while
the sun was still low and the
wits were playing in their
stalls, Dickering for hay and
water and a chance to run, It
was only 0,30 one morning re-
cently, but Roy Gilbert, a slen-
der, peppery 22 -year-old with
a close crop of brown hair,
roamed the barns at Belmont
Park, N.Y,, talking racing with
Eddie Yowell, the trainer who
had made him into a winning
jockey. Gilbert loved the strong
smell of the barns and the idle
chatter of the grooms. "I'm go-
ing to be a jockey," he once
said, "or die trying," •
Not far away, in another sec-
tion of the Belmont barns, Frank
Wright, a personable, leathery
trainer, studied his horses. One,
a bay two-year-old filly named
Plenty Papaya, was going to run
in the fourth race at nearby
Aqueduct that afternoon, Wright
;till had not named a rider for
the race, and a few jockeys'
agents stopped to see him. "My
boy's free for the fourth," each
offered. "Want to use him?"
"No, thanks," Wright said. "I
think I've got Gilbert,"
At almost the same moment,
Gilbert restlessly asked trainer
Yowell: "Want me to work Merry
Ruler?"
"No, let the exercise boy work
• him," Yowell said. Merry Ruler,
a fine three-year-old, finished
first in the Swift Stakes and the
Bay Shore last month, with Gil-
bert up. Before 1961, the jockey
had never won a stakes race; so
far this year, he had won four
in a row. One of eighteen chil-
dren in his family, Gilbert, from
London, Ky., was beginning to
blossom as a big -tinge rider,
Shortly before 8,30, Wright
sent a message to Gilbert's agent,
Cliff Carter. "I'd like your boy
for the fourth," Wright said.
Carter agreed, Gilbert had no
other mounts scheduled before
the fifth race,
At 10, Wright inspected Plenty
Papaya. ,ler darn — Raise You

ed him, but Plenty Papaya was
a promising horse, full of run
in workouts. In her only pre-
vious start, she had gone off at
3-1, based on fast practit:e times.
But against competition, she had
refused to run and had finished
dead last. "Threw back her head
a fol when she got crowded,"
said Bob Ussery, her first rider.
''But that's nothing unusual for
a green two-year-old," Since
then, she had trained with blink-
ers. Like most two -year-olds, she
was unpredictable, but now she
showed no bad, nor dangerous
habits.

Then Gilbert began getting
dressed, "It's cold out," his valet
said, "Better wear something
warm," Under the black - and -
white silks of Happy Hill Farm,
owner of Plenty Papaya, Gilbert
put on a rubber jacket and a
turtleneck sweater. He adjust-
ed his plastic helmet and cover-
ed it with a black silk cap. At
2,45, he walked through the
catacombs that lead to the saddl-
ing area,
Frank Wright, waiting with
Plenty Papaya, greeted him. "1'd
like you to try something,"
Wright said. "She doesn't seem
to like the whip. Woulld you
hand -ride her?"
"Sure," Gilbert said. "Rode a
horse like that for Mr. Yowell
once."
As Gilbert climbed aboard the
filly for the first time, she snort-
ed and shook naturally. The joc-
key steered her easily onto the
track and, a few minutes before
3, Plenty Papaya, listed on the
flashing tote hoard at 39-1, mov-
ed to the.starting gate with seven
other two -year-olds.
The five -furlong race was off
at 2.59. Corning out of post posi-
tion six, Plenty Papaya started
nervously, then veered abruptly
toward t h e outside, Gilbert,
clutching the reins, pulled the
filly in. Suddenly enraged, she
bolted toward the inside, straight
at the aluminum guard rail. An
Instant before Plenty Papaya
rammed the rail, Gilbert slipped
train her back, but the momen-
tum carried him into the rail.
He tumbled to the ground, un-
conscious, bleeding from the left
ear, The filly, not badly hurt,
bounded away.
A few minutes later, on the
way to •a local hospital, Roy
Gilbert, the victim of multiple
skull fractures, died.
In the jockey's room, the ping-
pong and pool games stopped,
and the boys, little then with
big jobs, quietly slipped into
fresh silks, At 3,28, the fifth race
at Aqueduct went off. From

Animals ,Long For
That Old Applause
Everyone knows that to have
a zoo you have to have animals;
but what few people realize is
that to have a proper zoo you
also have, to have people, It
turns out to be a mutual propo-
sition. Animals like to look at
people ars much as vice versa.
What a zoo needs, therefore, for
' the meagerest, possible begin-
ning, is one animal, and one per-
son for the animal to look at.
Naturally, the more animals, the
more i•cople they need to keep
them amused.
Already deprived of more
than 100,000 people to look at by
a strike that closed the gates
on Easter Sunday morning, the
2,984 denizens of New York
City's famous Bronx Zoo proved
their feelings in ways ranging
from elephantine anger to utter
depression,
A skeleton stall remained on
duty to tend their tenants, but
the animals reacted visibly to
the lack of audience.
Deprived of their peanut and
zoological package teed (10 cents
a shot In slot machines at the
zoo), Dolly and Cutie (from In-
dia) and Sudana and Pinkie
(Africans) shook the Elephant
House with their trumpeting;
they tore radiators from their
fixtures and threw hay around
like berserk harvesting ma-
chines.
The seals, with no people to
clap their flippers for, lay mor-
osely on their .rocks, or stayod
under water for long periods.
Their only guests were seagulls
The lions, missing the sight of I
people to Tick their chops at,
were off their feed, and the
tigers paced ceaselessly -- like
caged tigers,
One of the canals looked as
though he'd walk a toile for a
person.
Except for the polar bear;:,
who kept cleaning thein.se:ves i
wistfully for company that
never came, the hear population
iegarded the empty walks sadly,
and waddled back to their caves.
In the Great Apes house,
gray-haired Mickey Quinn, who
has worked at the zoo since he
was 12, was disturbed about his
charges, whom he regards as al-
most human.
"I don't know about those ani-
mals in the rest of the place,"
he said sadly, "but look at these
— how their Zips are pursed.
1,00k at how tense they are .. "
1te painted to Oka, the 300 -
pound gorilla he raised from in-
fancy in 1941 — sitting pitifully
in a corner, staring at the, wall,
fingers in her ears, as though to
,:cep out the unpleasant silence.
Perhaps the most disconsolate
of all the animals was Suzie,
an otter who loves children and
carries on lively conversations
with them in whistles, whisper s,
and moans. "She has the largest
vocabulary in the zoo," says the
attendant Vincent Nesor proud-
ly, "But now, she'll hardly talk
at all. I try all day long, hut
hardly ever a word . , ,"
The least concerned of all the
zoo's residents seems to be the
oldest, Teddy the South Ameri-
can tortoise, a gift from Theo-
dore Roosevelt (whose name-
sake he is) in 1914, Teddy was
taking the strike with the same
equanimity he has displayed
since Roosevelt changed his
mind about making him into
soup on the way home from an
expedition.
The Ham Comes Out
On Casey Stengel
Smartly, attired in dark gray
business suit, the bank vice pres-
ident tilted hack comfortably in
his black leather chair, His of-
fice, lodged near the top of a
semi -floating staircase, was large
and plush, decorated with con-
temporary furniture, deep rugs,
and walnut paneling, There was,
however, one slightly jarring
note in the scene—behind the
official's desk sat a huge potted
plant with a catcher's mitt em-
bedded in its branches,
"Now I don't know why I went
on this show," the banker was
saying, "cause I wasn't gonna do
any more of this acting business
and then I met this producer and
this writer, both nice fellas, and
they persuaded me to go on this
here script although I don't know
what they got on their Blinds
with this 'Young at Heart.' bus-
iness, I met Jane Powell who is
a good-looking girl, and that Art
Carney looks like he could be
a pretty fair ballplayer and
could possibly be very good, so
I signed, you plight say,"
in Revised Standard Syntax,
what the vice president of the
Toluca Lake Branch of the Val-
ley National Bank in California
was talking about was the fact
that on April 28, Charles Dillon
(Casey) Stengel will go to bat
on a one-hour NBC variety' spe-
cial, "Young at 1-Ieart," which
would also star Jane Powell and
Art Car n e y. Septuagenarian ,
Stengel, who guided the New
York Yankees to ten pennants in
twelve years before he was forc-
ibly retired last fall, will. tackle
a comedy skit in which he will
play a sportscaster interviewing
"ballplayer" Art Carney, remi-
nisce a little about the 1920s
with the ebullient Miss Powell,
and, for the chef-d'oeuvre .of the
evening, even dance a few steps.
Fot' Stengel, who has 'been
known to keel over in a mock
faint to protest the decision of
an umpire, the show will not
mark his acting debut. Last No-
vember he took a brief turn ,on
the. NBC "Perry Congo Sliuw,"
and even ad Jibbed a line during
some light banter with Como
when the cue cards got shuffled
("This is even worst than the
last game of the Series").
• "You might say I enjoyed that
show," he recalled as he lit a
cigarette. "In a way I liked do -
Ing it because of the fact that
nobody throws things at ya. Perry
even asked one to become his
manager, but this acting business
makes me more nervous than a
ball game. To tell you the truth,
1 don't think 1'.11 do ten years of
study to become • a great actor;
On this special conning up, I'm
not sure if I shoulda said no, or
they shoulda said no" •

and it proved to be an NBC rep-
resentative. It scents there was
a conflict between rehearsals for
the Jane Powell special and
Casey's commitment to throw •
out the first ball on April 27 at
Los Angeles's Wrigley Field.
"We'll just have to start this
here rehearsal at 5 in the •morn-
ing cause I'm gonna throw the
ball out," barked Stengel. There
were sounds of acute distress on
the other end of the line, but
Stengel hung up. "Five o'clock,
in the morning—that's about the
time these actor fellas go to
hest," he snorted and gazed dis-
consolately at a pile of papers
on his banking desk.
"I get lots of mail .from people
interested in baseball—I'm pull-
ing for the Yankees this year,"
he said. "Now about my bank-
ing activities. I'nl not keeping
hooks. You might say I'm a
good -will man. I get around to
numerous places. This here bank
is growing. We just opened up
a new subsiduary Isicl,'
•l-Iow about his use of Steng-
elese in banking affairs? "1 only
use this here Stengelese you fel-
las talk about when you're ask-
ing for loans," explained Casey
as he casually blew smoke ceil-
ing -ward. "If ya come in for a
deposit, I'm much more interest-
ed in ya—there won't be any
trouble at all understanding me."

man when he's down Is that h.

FARM MACHINERY ON HIGHWAYS
Reports that farmers may have to
buy licence plates for their tractors
and wagons promted quick action at
Ithe special member's meeting of the
Ontario Federation of Agriculture held
lin Toronto May 5th. Members passed
a resolution asking that any impend-
ing legislation in no way adversely af-
fect the continued use and movement
of farm tractors and wagons on the
1 highways,
1 This resolution also takes into ac-
count any legislation which may limit
farmers from using public thorough-
fares to get from one farm to another
with small or large equipment. Farm-
ers have_to use the roads also to take
produce to storage centres and mar-
ktts,
OFA members, mindful of the moral
responsibility of farmers to observe
safely measures, requested that the
Minister of Transport distribute to
farmers rules for safe operation of
farm equipment- on all roads.
Ten reports *and 20 additional resolu-
tions made up the rest of a busy meet-
ing in tire strike-obund Royal York
Hotel. Education was discussed at
length, with members deciding to pub-
licize opportunities and facilities avail-
able to farm people to further their,
education along vocational training
lines, and to send federal representa-
tives to educational conferences com-
ing up in the near future. These in-
clude tiro Ontario Conference for Edu-
cation, and the conference on rural
adult education to be held in Guelph
on June 5th anti 6th.
Several resolutions from the recent
Poultry Producers Association annual
Meeting were endorsed by the OFR.
Support was given to obtaining amend-
ments to the Farm Products Market-
ing Act, setting up a national poultry
committee within the Crinadian Fed-
eration of Agriculture, and to distrib-
uting information on the egg marketing
plan likely to be put before producers
within the year. •
Land assessment problems wore dis-
cussed as well as zoning problems
created by planning boards in Ontario,
Members were disturbed by reports
that planning boards frequently recom-
mend zoning areas' as farm lands with
out regard to productiVIty or good land
use principles. The difficulty here is
that zoning an area, in practice, gen-
erally freezes the land to that use only.
A resolution was passed asking that
planning boards and the Department of
Planning and Development ,be required
to submit their recommendations to
the Dopartmenh of Agriculture and the
OFA before sanctioning or amending
any by-law restricting or governing
rural land use,
One of the last resolutions to be dealt
with, granted support to Bill C-77, the
Agricultural Rehabilitation and De-
velopment Act introduced into the
House of Commons by Agriculture
minister Alvin Hamilton.
