But despite the brisk clear weather all they got were pictures of the Prince's escorts. When the weather is fine. the cam- eramen are on rooftop duty from dawn to dusk. When it's foggy or rainy, they pack up, knowing the baby won't be out.

By Uncle Joe

Back in prehistoric aboriginal times, when the Garden of the Gulf bore the Indian name Mine- goo, meaning "The island". there lived a Micmac giant whose name was Aboypa.

Aboypa. was so tall he could look down upon the highest trees of the forest. and no wlgwam in the land was large enough to hold his huge frame. So the giant made his home deep in the forest, where he cultivated the friendship of the fox. the deer and weasel.

Despite his fierce looks and gigantic sizc. Aboypa was one of the kindest mortals one could hope to moot, Wherever he went he did good deeds and had the blessing of the (lreat Spirit Himself.

Like other men of his race, he carried around with him his faith- ful bow and quiver of arrows. The bow was made from a large oak tree and each nrrow was the length of ihe tallest pine.

There was no hunier in all the land that could shoot an arrow so far or with such skill. indeed. Aboypn was known far and near as the Great One, with the eye of an eagle and the swiftnoss of the deer.

Dr. Ayers’ many friends are sorry to hear of his indisposition. e s e And Aboypa was deeply in love with one Abetonzi. daughter of the wise medicine man who knew ho\v to cure the ills of his people. Every herb of ihe meadow he kncvs. and culled them by their names. He also knew the irces whose hark could be brcuvd inio healing balm that mode the sick well. A great and wise mun was Abetonals father and he liked the giant Aboypa and would have welcomed him as u son- in-iznv; but Abctona had her heart sot on a young nnd handsome brave who lived on the far side of Mine- goo. But Ahoypn continued io hang around the wigwzim of the lovely Ahoiona. coniiiiued to plead his uiuse (imspite the 0ft repeated re- fusals of the maiden. At last she decided the best thins! for her to do was to leave Minegoo until her lover would grow weary of waiting and take unto himself another squzlw. So one summer evening. when the sun shone bright in the western sky. and ihe waters were deep in sleep. Abetona left the home of her parents and. taking her tiny birch- bark canoe from its place of hiding. patidled her way toward the distant shores of the mainland. All that night she paddled her own canoe, with only the moon and the stars to keep her company. Then came the morning. and after that the afternoon. before the beau- tiful Indian maiden brought her canoe safely io the other shore. Abetona had friends in the new country and was directed to their village by a band of hunters shc chanced to meet along the way.

Queen Mary is a lover of an- tiques. and a collector and connois- seur of some discrimination. At Sandringham. however, where she has been spending a holiday, she has been collecting for a noval kind of museum: the Royal Stable Mus- eum, which has riding relics cover- ing four reigns. including the spurs and crops of her husband, the late George V and the mounted hoofs of his favourite horses. Mr French, who keeps the museum. says Queen Mary never passes a cast horse shoe. but always collects it and later brings it to him, tar;- ged and labelled for his museum."

When Aboypa learned of the girl's disappearance he was filled with anger and jealousy. and his heart was hardened toward her father so that he planned to kid- nap the medicine man and carry him away to a cave he had built by the slope of a high hill.

Then one night, when the medi- cine man lay fast asleep by the side of his squaw, the giant silent- ly stole into their wigwam and carried the sleeping man away. Moons came and went. and never a whisper did Aboypa breathe to anybody about his prisoner. Some believed he had gone in search of the beautiful Abetona and would come to them again once he had found her. who held the Great Spirit had tak- en their doctor to dwell among the immortals.

In the meantime. the giant lent word by a messenger to the camp of Abetona that If she would re- turn to Minegoo her father would be there to receive her.

When Abetona got the message a great sadness was lifted from her

While Britain has been launching her new social order. she also has been asserting her right as free- born Englishmen to deplore any changes at all in some other dir- ections. Hence a certain measure of regret and dismay over a decis- ion by the Head Master of that well-known educational establish- ment, Eton College-cradle of Kings, Princes and top-drawer com- moners—to give the traditional silk hat the go-by. It's all part of this austerity business, but it's felt to be a pity because Eton school boys have been wearing these magnifi- cent tiles for years, in school and out, fair weather or foul. Top hats and Eton were synonymous. Tho._v were part of the English scene.

Drs. J. A. Abbott and R- S. Schwab.

Epileptic patients, each show- lng at least one normal encephalo- gralm between seizures (tits). and those showing only abnormal en- cephalograms between seizures were compared with l0 other as-

All 10 comparisons were favorable to the patients who had the one normal encephaiogram.

ln the patients who had the one noivnal encephnlogram, there was late onset. fewer different kinds of spells, less frequent spells, greater response to tor benefit from) medi- cine, fewer attacks when receiving no medicine, more spells during sleep and greater ability to work, whereas patients with abnormal EllCOpililiOgffFTiS had had spells in infancy, hencl injuries or other head er brain niimrnts and a positive family history of epilepsy.

While epilepsy is not the hope- less disease of former years because ihc majority of patients now can be kept free or almost free of attacks. it is encouraging to know that physicians now are able to recog- nize true epilepsy from other forms uf fits or convulsions, By having a patient suspected of epilepsy drink several pints of water and then in- jet-ting the drug pitrcssin to hold the excess water in the brain tis- sues where true epilepsy is present ain attack is bcnnd to occur.

This even!!!

I read to most a0- preciative hearers. thOIIEb W119" We finally closed the Book. we wonder- ed just how much the small one had understood of it. In he!‘ 1W0 years past. "We'd better use one of the big Books." Jamie said hurry- ing to bring the oldest and most worn family Bible from the sitting- room, "then you'll be ubie to see the words easier." And when we had settled ourselves comfortably in the old arm-chair in the kitchen. he begged, "Read from ihe first of it. where it tells that all the people must go to their own cities to he taxed." And it was peaceful there in the lamp-light, the wood-fire crack- ling cheerfully beneath a kettle that sang or was silent by turns. and very quiet. And faces were sober indeed when “there was no room for them in the inn." And we country folk. even to the small one following the exquisite story knew wcil of the flocks and the shepherds. of stables and mangers. And so once more this time hand in hand with our grand-children. following the wondering shepherds we "came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the babe lying in a manger."
