The statue. is that of the rave Jiplad in Mary Mapes Dodge's world- famous tale, "Hans Brinker," who held back the flood waters from .'¢-Haarlem' by" keeping his: finger in a leak 'in the dike. « The Eye Polder .D. ke ot 'Haar- lem, where the boy's figure will be placéd, is one of- the Nethet- land's oldest- walls faised against - the salt water, notes the -National . Geographic Society! It 'was built in the, catly 1600's, When the Dutch". were just getting under" way their - long-term program hy w hich dikes, windmills; and dra'nage canals were to turn swampy lowlands into productive polders, as the reclaimed tracts are called. The rescue of land in Holland, however, is an old story beginning at least 2,000 years ago. When Roman scholar Pliny the Elder vis- ted this North Sea region around: 50 A.D, he wrote that the natives, . a marsh people known*as Frisians, lived in coastal wastes protected by 4 erude man-made mounds. For centuries, storms aud tides of the. sea intermittently devoured the water-soaked lands, villages and livestock of these people. It was probably not until deep in the Mid- --dle-Ages-that Holland buil#its first" real. dikes, usually in the form of: dams made of willow mattresses - and clay mixed with straw. Today, dikes and other works Suard -millions of acres of Nether- ands sojl. © Destruction of the pumping system, now operated largely with steam-powered and Diesel-driven pumps instead of by windmills, - would mean ruin for much of the country. Since about a quarter of the nation's territory Hes below sea level, this reclaimed nd protected land. represents a ma-.- - jor factor in agricultural production and support of population. : She Can Swim Too!--Lizabeth Scott likes to have her picture taken against the palisades of .the Pacific near her Hollywood home.

Lizabeth is one of the few bathing beauties who really can swim: First "Egg Trick" ~ - It seems, *according to Italian that Christopher Co- lumbus was not the original per- petrator of the famous "egg trick," but thay the honor belongs to a resourceful architect who lived a little in adgance of . the great ex- plorer, To "Florence, as the story goes, were summoned the leading. archi- tects of Europe to show their plans for a cupola like that of the Panthe- on of Rome. Into their midst eame an Italian named Brunelleschi, who proudly proclaimed that he had re- 'discovereds the mode of erecting cupolas which had been lost since the time of the Romans. But he refused to show his model built "upon its. simple principles, propos- ing rather, "Let the man who can stand an egg on end on a marble base have the contract." All the other architects failed .in the attempt, whereupon - Brunel- lesclii~ tapped 'an egg lightly upon its eid and stood" it up. His eom- ~ petitors "angrily protested that any one could do the same, to which Brunelleschi rejoined, "Yes; if they 'had seen my model, they would have i known how to build the cupolal" : The resourceful architect was given the contract to build the great edifice, and. triumphant Suid out his commission. St. Peter's in Rome. and St. Paol's ia London - were construeted on . the Lod model. | Pr) Polio Mother sees triplets--Seated in her wheelchair.

"It comes naturally to children to band together to do things; it--is--the grown-ups who make the divisions "and the barriers. "Here, in the Guide and in the- Scout movement," said the World Chief Guide, "we find a binding force, bestriding the artificial barriers-of race, creed and. nationality,-and bringing a spirit of friendliness and unity that crics loudly for these things." She spoke of the many functions of the movement and the way in 'which' it helps sick and erippled girls.
