one of the amusing and some- times irritating things about the telephone is the habit of ”listening in". This habit greatly impairs the efficiency of the calls, particu- larly when one wishes to get a doctor or put through important business calls.

Farming more than any other ioccupatiori in the world, so far as production in concerned. is a part- icularly individualist business. In- deed, one might truthfully say that farming is a life as well as a business. Without the family, the interest, the advice and the actual work rendered by all the family members. farming could not succeed. Collective farming may be all right for the Russians but not for our people, for it would reduce to a condition of peasantry the independent. indivi- dualist thinking farmer who has contributed so much to the life of our glorious Dominion.

The early pioneer farmer had no marketing problems. Why? Be- cause his farm, family and himself were sufficient unto themselves. He went to market only when he wished to purchase a few staples. but for the most part he grew the necessities for his family on his own goodly-acres, and the women manufactured them in that good old-fashioned lab. the farm kit- chem

memories of the days when we were a group of happy kids play- ing our childish games around its hallowed grounds.

Many of us have lived. to see the dis pearahce from rural heighborh ds of the amithy and the old cheese and butter factories. Even the rural church seems to be losing much of its life blood. But rural folk hang on with bulldog tenacity to the one-room school. It is the one institution left whose work can be watched almost from the back yard. If that work were not satisfactory to the farmers they could change the trustee or teacher. sometimes they, or more especially the pupils gave the tea- cher the quick march! I have seen such a thing actually happen in the old Cornwall school which I attended as a boy.

Whatever may be said about the need of improving our rural school system we must never lose sight of the excellent service the little red schoolhouse has render- ed in past years. It served its time and people well. The tea- chers of those. days were pretty efficient and their trials and tri- bulations were many.

Going back to pioneer days we get an entirely different picture. Instead of the little old red school- house, children were taught their three R's in a sort of log cabir. school. Crude though these bulld- ings were. cold and ugly. it was the teacher who suffered most for it was the old-time custom of "boarding around". Just fancy spending a cold winter in a dif- ferent bed every night and having to eat the variety of food plac- ed before 'you by the different housewives of the district!

Queen Mother And Princess To Move Shortly -

By Ken lotwrlghl:

LONDON. Dec. 3 -(Reuters)- Queen Mother Elizabeth and Prin- cess Margaret this winter will give up the "coldest house in Europe" to live in Britain's most modern home. x v

Early in the new year they will leave old-fashioned, grey-stoned Buckingham Palace. Their new home will be nearby Clarence House, a 127-year-old mansion which now is furnished with the last word in domestic luxury.

Cosy Clarence House was the residence of Princess Elizabeth be- fore she came to the throne. This winter the Queen. the Duke of Edinburgh and their family will have to endure the discomfort of the palace.

The official royal residence, with its dozens of long. windy hallways and huge. high-ceilinged rooms. is impossible to keep warm-cspecial- ly since most of the huge building is not centrally heated.

Clarence House, the big, three- storey mansion just off the stately Mall was built in 1825 for the Duke of Clarence, who became King Wil- liam IV.

It was Elizabeth who transform- ed it into a modern home with

units, an intercommunication sys- temtand up-to-date furniture. Off the Duke's wood-paneled study. a cocktail bar was built. A semi- baseme it playroom was equipped with a movie. projector. TV anten- nae sprouted on the roof.

Cremation was the customary form of burial in nearly all countries except Egypt and China in ancient times.

LONDON - (CP) - During the debate on whether next June's cor- onation ceremony should be tele- vised. the illustrated Magazine Picture Post received a letter from

a reader saying: "It was surelyfor such a purpose as the coronation that God,created television."

It was not so much the school that made the country, boy: and girls later successful in life, as it was those habits of stem respon- sibllity which were drilled into them early in life on the farm. No training on earth can measure up to that acquired early in life doing the appointed task at the appointed time with no exception whatever.

Purge.Ax Is , Being Sligrpened

PARKS. Dec. 3 -(AP)- Cem- munists of Western Europe sharp- ened the purge Axe Friday for members who were friends of the 14 Red leaders condemned in Csechoslovakia's show trial. The French Communist boss. Maurice Thorez. may be among those marked.

The anti-zionist attack signalled by the Prague trial, in which 11 were doomed to death and three

pected now to spread to all Red parties.

The stress of the Prague trial was on anti-aionism. blaming the State of Israel for Czechoslova- kla's economic turmoil. But there were indications that Jews behind the Iron Curtain see it as Hitler- like 'anti-semitism. The 30.000 Jews in Czechoslovakia are reported to be terror-stricken.

Reports from usually-reliable sources say that the Prague trial resulted in numerous Jewish sul- cides; raids by Communist police on Jewish establishments sus- pected of harboring "Zionist

spies”; screening of factory and state Jews.
