Last week I made a promise over a telephone which I am going to keep, it only in part, this morning. Ten women wanted help in beginning a course in carpentry at the Vocational School. Perhaps it was my coffee table, I forgot to ask. But I think their idea is an ex- cellent one and I do feel that any housewife would be much more self- relian-t if she knew the basic steps in. let's say understanding blue- prints. driving a nail without smashing a thumb, or even making

picture frames. "Women". they say. "spend a greater part of their lives in their house and with their housefurnishings". and so they wish

One young mother I know spent a. good part of a morning this week teaching her young three- year-old son that he should love people and not want to fight. He should really love all those around him. It took a lot of time. she said. but after awhile his eyes he- rame very warm and thoughtful. "Now." she asked him. "do you love anyone? Just think very hard and tell me who you truly love." He thought a while. and put his head to one side. "I love grocery mans .an(.l S.anty Claus."

Sunday than we had celebrated. with the folks at the house ' the road. an Annlve:sary of their marriage. though the actual date of it fell on yesterday. Lions '3" fields we had gone. enjoying the invigorating breeze of day. and trying to match oi as with James. Looking again u.puu this or that field that in our years with him we have teamed to know so well. following old beloved paths im- wu,-mi, though a bit lonely for the two small lads who once upon a. tuna helped to make up We procession. Taking possession of an old land-mark of tree. tuni- ing always at a point to see the Kirk spire clear against the sky. wondering "Whose is that far

below that edge of cloud?" and "I -reckon there would be. Well. 81- together, a hundred acres of wood- land in that patch away OV" there!" If James thought of those dgys, no mention came to his lips. taken up possibly with the pre- sent scenes of farming on his own acres. or full of anticipation over the happy greeting we should re- ceive when at length we ii-"rived at Rob's door.

Karolyn, flushed from her dinner preparations. calling her greetings; Jamieso pleased, and Gage - now a lad of is retiring quiet manner. Rob coming from the sta- ble, Mr. A. from his lonely house across the road. And Jeanie, de- tained until later by her small ones. coming by another route to join us, all presently to sit about the table. to partake of Vt'i')' tasteful fare. Chicken from Karo- lyn's flock... and the tZiZZ3l'd divided by Jamie. the half to his grandfather's plate. and the rest to his own so that both would taste sweeter by the dividing. "Not plum pudding!" James cxciiiimcd. resting the first course in his depths. while he beamed belie- volentiy around the board. "You'll have to excuse me for commenting about it" he explained to Karo- l,vn with a chuckle "but in tell you the tvuth it's so onff Since I U”? ed abit. that I was forgeitim: what the sight of it was like!" There was a cake too. gay in its trinmiings cf icing and cherries. and as our hostess apoiigized ilierc would have been pie too "but there just didn't seem to be any time to do morei"

And in thoilghts. we must so back to that day of the past. James rccaled as did we that it had been brooding. such as those which among her latest. November is pleased to bring. Without a sign of rose in the sunrise. but only an amber glow so delicate that it all too soon died away into the gray about. All day the clouds had lowered against the hilltops, and a strange stillness rested along the length and breadth of- the countryside. The air held an eds- ed chill, which gave over in time, to a softness. balmy. we remember when as the twilight closed about first snowflakes of the season drifted solemnly down. And over- night. "Heaping field and high- way. with'”a silence deep and white" Winter had arrived. And considering its advance that year. James observed with an ominous shake of the head: "You've hea.rd of living on borrowed time? Then that's what the farmers are doing now as regards the Fall work. .. just living on borrowed time!"

I O D

We remember now that the sun

of the farm to whom James and our younger farmer and many another from near and wide dis-

.tances paid last respects in a sud yet oft-repeated rite. last. evening, had not lived even one day on bor- rowed tlme. But without fl word of farewell to loved ones. . though they will search hearts now to find if there was any sign of the sorrow-to-come in his late-spoken and well-remembered utterances. . . he set off. young and alone, as one day shall we all. on a trek to that other land. "A good boy" a

mother will recall proudly. "A kindly husband and father," a family will remember. and "II

Strange But True

The Maharajsfa palace at My- 1n' sore, India, may be seen from

every part of the city. The cupois. capped with gold, is an inspiring sight by moonlight. The Mahara- ja's throne is made of ivory. sil- ver and gold. . Like si.n, prostitution is as old as the bum- an race. Masses attacked the prob- lem with strong injunctions against immntaiity. yet, strange to say, be tolerated these "strange women" in the smaller centers. During the reign of King solo- moii. Jerusalem was overrun with

prostitutes. Sampson chose the house of a prostitute during the time he lived at Gaza and every student of the Bible is familiar

with sampsonis love-lady, Delilah. . Neil Gwynne. Mistress of Charles II belonged to this class of females, being at one time an orange girl and. later, an actress in the Drury Lane Theatre. 0 O 0

Prior to the Nineteenth Cen- tl'I)', the feeble minded were treated with great brutality. Quacks pretended to remove a. stone from the heads of insane persons, which they claimed to be the cause of their insanity. The quack doctor made an incision in the forehead of the patient ahd then palmed a small stone which was exhibited to the patient's re- latives. There still are quacks in the world and people who believe in them. Until the middle of the Nineteenth Century amputations were perfcrmed without anes- thesia. The nobility had their own surgeons. while the common sold- iers and the general public had to rely on barbers to cut off a diseas- ed leg nr arm. . . . "Believe it or not." but William Blake of Edin- burgli. Scotland. signed a confes- sion admitting that he committed sixteen murders for the purpose or selling. the bodies to Dr. Knox. also of I-jdinburgh. who conducted a school of anatomical dissection. Blake went to the gallows January 27. 1&9. Leonardo da Vincl and Michael Angelo were similarly ac- cused in their time and Pope Leo X. in 1319. for this reason denied dn vinci admission to the hospital in Rome, where he wished.- to study anatomy.

Tibet is a strange country: In

Malayans do little farming. They have little need to cultivate huge areas as the bread- fnzit tree yields a food like bana- nas in flavor, but like bread in texture. . .

In 1720. when the Black Death was rife in Marseilles. the doctors went. about their grim business dressed in a long robe. gloved hands and a peculiar head piece, having a bill-shaped nose. This odd snout was filled with spices presumed to purify the inhaled air. They carried a wand to feel the pulse so that they would not have to touch the victim's flesh. and their advice to the healthy was: "Go quick. go far and re. turn late."

we do not hear or read much about appendicitis any more nor about the operation for removal of the appendix. What we do hear and read about is high blood pres- sure. because heart strokes (coron- ary thrombosis) and brain strokes (spoplexy), due to high blood pressure. are becoming increasing- ly common. Fortunately the family physician by using drugs to lower the blood pressure temporarily. can relax both the blood vessels and the heart muscle. and even short rests take some work off the heart. In addition. the physician prescribes an easily-digested diet and outs down the food intake. thus preventing overweight. a bad complication of high blood pres- sure.

Where drugs diet and health suggestions fail to keep the blood pressure within said limits. the operation known as sympathec- tomy ifcuttln-g of nerves supplying heart and blood vessels) is being performed in many hospitals. Thus we read in the Journal of the American Medical Association of 2992 patients in the public wards of the Massachusetts General Hos- pital. Boston. operated for high blood pressure. Most of these pat- ien-ts were free from any import- ant heart or blood vessel complic- ations. To supplement or give it complete history of the effects of this operation. Drs. Paul D. White. Boston. E. Grey Diamond. Kansas City. Kansas. and Armistead Wil- liams, Richmond. Va.. report in the Journal of the American Medical Association on a smaller but spec- ial group of 50 private patients also operated on at Massachusetts Gen- eral Hosplial. These 50 patients differed from the first group in that they did have important heart and blood vessel complications. Their progress was followed after operation by Dr. White and by Dr. R. H. Smithwick. the noted surgeon and the originator of the special operation used. Notwith- standing that this type of patient (with complicationsi )is not con- sldcrcd a good rtrk. the results were very gratifying.

The results by sympathectcmy are compared with results of 50 orlvate patients with heart and blood vessel complications treated medically. After a three-year fol- low up of the 50 who had under- gone operation, the result was ex- cellent or good in 1.1 and fair with some definite improvement in i1. in 5 cases there was little or no change; i.1 patients were worse and .12 were dead. The deaths at end of first year were two for those who had undergone operation and 8 for those treated medicallv; at end of 2 years. deaths were 8 and i6 res-

pectively; at end of 3 years. 8 and 29. This means that selected cases

of high blood pressure who have heart and blood vessel complic- ations. do beiter under operation than those treated medically.
