It may be mentioned that Mr. Eaton sent Mr. Khrushchev a pure bred shorthorn bull a couple of years ago. The horses are by way of ap preciation. At least, that is what a report from Moscow sfates. But, of course, bull or no bull, Mr. Eaton deserves a fine gift from Mr. Krush- chev; for he is certainly doing all he can to enhance the Russian Pre- mier’s prestige in the United States.

Two Freedoms

There will be widespread admir- ation for the courage of Miss Marie Torre, a writer for the New York Herald Tribune who went to jail for ten daysrather than divulge the Name of the person who had told her that a certain Hollywood actress “had an inferiority complex, could not make up her mind on anything

was terribly fat”. ;

The jail sentence was for con- tempt of court. Miss Torre’s defence was that under the Constitutional ‘guarantee of freedom of the press she was not required to answer the question put to her by the presiding judge. Incidentally, the paper for which she works has supported her stand, and that speaks well for it.

troiki has been -

However, there.are, as the judge-

pointed out, other rights besides freedom of| the press. One of these is the right of a person who thinks he has been libelled to confront his accuser in court. This is the- right that was ‘denied the actress by Miss Torre's réfusal to answer a question. It would never do for a person who peddles second-hand gossip, libellous or otherwise, to be allowed -to hide behind the freedom of, the press. In this case, the allezed harmful state- ment does not appear to have been malicious—althouzh, of course, no actress wants word to get around that. she is “terribly fat”. But the

principle involved is the same as if

Deep Trenches

The deepest place in the sea is the Marianna Trench, east of the Marianna Islands. in the Western Pacific. It goes down to a depth of nearly 7 miles.

The existence of this trench had been known for some time. It was surveyed and measured by a group of Russian scientists who participat- ed in the “International Geophysi- cal Year” projects. The bottom of the trench was found td be flat and in places less than a mile wide.

A cross wind made it hard _ to keep the ship in position, and the ‘first trawl hit the side of the

_ trench instead of the bottom. All that came up was a slab of cement- like sediment without evidence—of life. The second attempt produced nothing, .as the bottom was _ not reached. After twelve hours, a third trawl. was recovered from _ the depths. As it rose out of the watef the Russians saw a mass of material

One of these is the “pot-bellied” stove which, according to the Na- tional Geographic Socicty, is still very much in demand. About 60,000 are produced annually in the United States. They come from foundries in Maryland, Virginia, Georgia and Alabama.

Demand for the stove is varied. It has recently been taken up by de- corators as a plant holder or as a “quaint conversation piece”. But “mostly it is used for the purpose for which it was originally intended— burning coal for warmth in lumber camps, country stores and hunting and fishing lodges. :

At their 19th century peak, the -Society says, pot-bellied stoves were turned out by turers for offices, stores, schools and railroad stations. One model was called the “Station Agent”. The charcoal blazer was one of the ear- liest forms of heating. This, too is

’ coming into a new popularity for “cooking-out” purposes. The stove’s. development was

slow. The chimney was invented in the 12th century. It made possible the brick and tile = i that were so widely used in France, Germany and Holland in the middle ages. Iron stoves were first made in Alsace, France, in the late 15th centupy.

LET'S HELP OURSELVES |

Habit is the enemy: We have got into the habit

Pro- ©

of having most of our wok done during the sum- mer months with the result that during the peak period men and materials are often not available to finish the work within a reasonable time. Many men are seasonably time. Many men are seasonably unemployed in Charlottetown and vicinity, during every winter.,

hy

_The loss in wages adversely affects every busi- ness establishment in the City and the payment of unemployment service benefits only partly re- lieves the situation.

It is necessary to. substitute common sense for habit and distribute the work to be done as evenly as possible throughtout the year. This, like the breaking of any bad habit, requires a real effort.

The saving of time and money to the house holder and. businessman; the spread of employ- ment over the whole year for the worker; the in- ~ telligent use of all. our resources of manpower, matérial, transportation and storage: can add to the prosperity and well being of all our citizens.

Do the job while there are men and materials available. The National Employment Office in Charlottetown has the men, your local merchants have the materials. Get in touch with both.
