Then, one of them, happening to glance screamed a warning: anche!" It was too late. Within seconds the fifteen skiers were com- pletely engulfed by a gigantic wall of snow and ice. The catastrophe was seen from the nearby Swiss resort of Mur- ren. Rescuers hurried "to the scene. Probing carefully into the snow, they dug out fourteen o! the victims but were unable to trace the other man. "~ With night and a blizzard com- ing on,.the rescuers were about to , abandon the search. Then Moritz, a mongrel dog they had brought with them, began to bark and paw at the snow fifty yards from where the rescuers were working. The men ignored him, but Moritz made such a commotion that his owner and a few other men began digging at the spot. Twenty feet down they found the fifteenth men -- alive, but only just. © Moritz didn't know it, but he was indirectly responsible for the foundation of 1 mountain rescue service, for a newspaper report about his {feat was read by Ferdinand Schmutz of Berne, an expert on dogs.

Even so, he had little*co-opera- tion from the diehards, who hud always searched for 'avalanche victims by lining up as. many men as could be mustered and equipping each man with a long 'rod with which to probe the snow. Almost shoulder to shoulder the men then advanced across the snow. busniess. Then Schmutz had a bit of luck. He" was working at Inter- laken in the winter of 1939-40, when an accident occurred on the Jungfrau A platoon of soldiers was be- ing trained in the old technique of how to find a buried man, A volunteer, well protected aga:n- st the cold, had been put in a spot too deep to extricate aim- self. He had a breathing appara- tus and was reasonably comfort- able under the snow. Flags marked the areca to be searched by the troops; if they did not find the guinea-pig with- in a certain time' then the offi- cer in charge would call off the stunt and the man would be g up. Then drama overtook the ex- ercise. A sudden, violent blizzard hit the mountain and the troops had to fight their way to shel- "ter When at last the storm sub- sided, half an hour later, the marker flags were buried by snow. Officers quickly put in new ones, but not in their right places, Now they had really lost their guinea-pig; his oxygen would be running out, and dusk was falling. Then Schmutz, accompanied by his favourite dog, Gallix, ar- rived on the spot to see the ex- erclse, Told of the emergency, he Immediately put Gallix to work. ' The dog raced to a point far . outside the marker flags and i 'began to dig. A -- in in charge said The officers that their man could be nowhere near that area, but soldiers be- gan digging feverishly found their comrade. He was still alive but in desperate straits. Publicity given to the incident convinced Swiss people that there was something in the idea of avalanche dogs after all and by the end of the war Schmultz had trained nearly 200 of them, the majority Alsations. "After many experiments be found that only alsatians had the strength, skill and incredible 1n- stinct needed for the job. Knowing his dogs, Schmutz didn't even consider the famous St. Bernard. The. St. Bernard uses his eyes, not his nose, to find people, and after an aval- anche there is nothing for the eyes to see. The nose and sixth-sense of a trained Alsatian can find a man in minutes, often after human rescuers have been searching for many hours. . Last winter a policeman was buried for nearly ten hours be- fore a dog could be brought to locate him. The man was soo dug out and survived: The dog's master is almost as important as the dog itself. He must be a skilled skier and mountaineer, an expert in snow- craft and first-aid--and he must know his dog and what the ani- mal is trying to tell him. The harmony between some men and their dogs -is astonishingly sensi- _ tive. SAR -- Sometimes an emergency is so acute that a dog team is flown in to find buried people. In this way, three years ago, a dog found three schoolchildren buri- ed in a deep drift, The dogs differ as much in personality as their owners, Some regard their work as fun, others take it very seriously; one must be forced tor concen- trate on the job, another is de- votedly eager. sun, Line Jo faeh as he grabbing 40 winks in worm Pa goes inte a lazy reveris in the It was a painstaking. and Ax lost in just one winter. a Bp 5 FN TR .. .

The passion for states' rights burns as hot as a branding iron throughout Texas--but, ironical- ly, the Texas lust for a Federal handout is equally intense. That is one dichotomous con- clusion of writer John Bain- bridge, who has spent three year studying our second largest state. and is now patiently re- cording his observations in a long series in The New Yorker magazine, state man himself (Minnesota), calls his enormously detailed re- port "The Super - American - State" a -- The Super-American who in- habits Texas, Bainbridge wrote in the fifth installment, has per- fected the American talent for self-deception to the point where 'the doctrine of states' rights . .. like 'Mother'. or 'The Alamo,' can make moist his eyes." Bainbridge points -- out that "while Texas stands sixth in population and seventh in the amount of Federal taxes paid, the state ranks third among the B80 in the amount of money it accepts from the Federal govern- merit. It leads them all in ac- cepting Federal grants for agri- culture experimentation, hospital construction, road building, flood prevention, and child welfare. And while Texas takes more for. children than any other state, it pays out less for their assistance than all but six others, according ~ to his New Yorker report. Not that the state especially discriminates against youngsters. Texas ranks second in the amount of money accepted for old folks, 40th in the amount it spends. "An American accustom- ° ed to dualism in the native grain," Bainbridge suggests in a - finding, "might be moved to - wonder how much Federal aid Texans would be willing to ac- cept if they approved of it." \ In the matter of crime, Bain- 'bridge concedes, Texas does lead all. Consistently in the top ten states in all major categories of violent crime, Texas can really pride itself on murders, a classi- fication. in which it led every " state in each of the last four years." Texas murders number ed 1,094'in 1959, more than twice as many as in New York, a state --.advantage of the only two nice <= days we had last = it.

GpngEREaRM These days if you want to do anything or go anywhere in good weather.you.have to. make up. your mind on the spur of the moment. That way we took week, sand- wiched in between dull, rainy weather. On one of those days I went to Toronto and, had quite a day -- the bus was in sight when I ran into the office to get my ticket. My main object down town was shopping -- and what d bus- iness that turned out to be. You kzow, shopping is easy when you "start out--with--an--open--mind. =|: But when you know _exactly what you're looking for then you often wind up on a wild goose chase. I wanted drapes and a throw for our bedrocom-den but none of the ensemble I saw were suitable so I walked my legs off for nothing. However, during my exploring I passed through the millinery section. Seated in front of a mirror was a lady try- ing on a hat. I took one look at 'her and immediately wanted that hat. It was an off-shade colour, exactly-right-to go with the blue gold-flecked suit I was wearing. There wasn't another hat on the floor that was suit- able. I stood in the background in a dither of suspense while the lady experimented with "my hat", trying it this way and that. ~Finally to mygreat relief she | got up and walked away -- but still with a backward glance, 1 moved in fast. Sure enough' the hat was just right for me -- in size, colour and even the price. I'm telling you I knew that hat was meant for me directly I saw experience? Possession is nine- tenths of the law, so I wore it home -- after getting gloves to go with it. And that, too, entail- "ed quife"a hunt That -done 1 went to visit a friend who has been a" semi-pri- vate patient in a large Toronto hospital for five months. She is getting every attention but I thought, "oh dear, this place may be all right for emergencies and for those with a short but seri- plaint". After seeing the small, dull rooms with no outlook other than the grey walls of the next building I realized how lucky people are who can enjoy the facilities of a modern hospital. And I do mean "enjoy" because even a sick.person must get a lift of spirits amid bright sur- roundings. Of course there is one drawback -- getting a bed is next to impossible -- a condition which prevails in every district. On my way to the hospital I got another glimpse of life. My taxi-driver was a nice young fellow and while we waited for a traffic light to change I said to him -- "Don't you get tired of driving all day long?" 'I sure do," was the immediate reply. Then he went on to tell me he had been with a telephone com- take what he thought was a bet- ter job with the A. V. Roe Com- pany. What happened after that is common knowledge. Now as a taxi-driver his take-home pay is half what it used to be. : Next day the weather was still good $0" Partner and I went to tion we got. Ross was playing in the yard and called out ex- citedly --- "Grandma, Grandpa!" Then he went rushing into the house calling ashe went -- "were there. "Mummy, Grandma and Grand. pa's here!" I'm telling you it makes it worthwhile being grandparents when you get that kind of welcome. While the boys were having their afternoon nap Partner and I visited former neighbbours and it was with mixed-feelings that we. passed Ginger Farm on the way. Our grand old house is un- occupied now and looks very dif- ferent from the days when we Naturally" we like to think of it as it was and not as it is. A good deal of farm land in that area has been re- zoned industrial. Fire razed a barn and a lovely old house across the road from Ginger Farm so now the place is the headquarters of a trucking out- fit. Green fields will, scon be a thing of the past. Truly "the .old order changeth", But the old neighbours whom we visited had" not changed -- they were still _.as_jriendly as ever, and not{ so_ busy but what they could sit down and talk to us. And what a treat it was to have a cup of tea in a good old-fashioned farm kitchen, with the tea kettle boil- ing over a genuine wood fire in the kitchen range. Sometimes we wonder why we left it all. But yet, when we got back to our present location, it, too, seemed liked home. After all, we have a comfortable house and good neighbours so what more can we want? _Actually whérever you live life is what you make it.

This crimson, velvet-covered testament, loaned by Queens Col- lege, Oxtord, bears on each side the arms of the first Elizabeth and the initials "E.R." The testament is a symbol of the continuity of the story of Christianity in Britain in which the Authorized (or King James) Versiori of 1611 is an important landmark. The exhibition marks both the 350th anniversary of the publi- cation of the King James Version and the recent publication of the New Testament of the New Eng- lish Bible, the work of scholars representing the major churches of the British Isles except the Roman Catholic. An introduction to the exhibi- tion shows the 'visual aids" which brought the scenes of the Bible story to the eyes of the people before printing made the Scriptures available to the lay- man, These include stained glass panels, alabaster reliefs, and painted wood panels. The exhibits,- well set out on purple backgrounds under glass, show the beginnings of Christi- anity in Britaln going back to . Roman times when Britain was . the most remote province of the Western Empire. Little remains from those days, and nothing in the way of a written Bible text. -There are just a few pictorial -. représentations of Biblical scenes | on silver, a -treasure which fis thought to have been the booty of barbarian raiders. } After the withdrawal. of the Roman legions in 410 the pagan Saxon invaders drove the native Christians before them into the west country and to the moun- tains of Wales. Gospels from cen- ters in these Celtic areas of Brit-- ain include the beautifully dec- soon after 687 in honor of Saint Cuthbert. ' : Thousands of people visited an exhibition of the originals of these two gospels shown recently at Burlington House in aid of the library fund of Trinity College, Dublin. Those who did not, now have gospels at the Chapter House, set in the context of -the history of the Bible.from the seventh to the twentieth centuries. Another early treasure, and one not seen in London before, the Chad Gospels, is a manuscript from Lichfield Cathedral dating from about A.D. 700. This is writ- ten in bold script, possibly at a Welsh center following the Irish style of calligraphy, writes Mel- ence Monitor. LR But the main emphasis of the exhibition is on English versions of the Bible.

Corpus Christi College, Oxt has loaned a copy .of the James Version printed by R. Bar= ker of London in 1611, and othe slightly later editions come frong the British and Foreign Biblé Soclety. ; ) Brand New Export From Scotland ! Scotland has a brand new ex- port. It comes In bottles. It is water -- plain, straight, undl- luted, pasteurized Scottish water. A firm in Glasgow called Aerat- ed Waters bottles the potent bev- erage and sells it abroad. They get about ten cents a bottle. Idea is the stuff is a natural mix for another bottled Scottish product, which shall be nameless here. Now, any keen merchandiser will instantly realize that there is an angle. Sports car manufac- turers could supply specially packaged air for inflating the tires of their little gems. Canadi- an snowshoe makers could sup- ply, at slight extra cost, plastic- wrapped bundles of real Canadi- an snow (an export that might well be subsidized). T he New- foundland dried codfish trade could work up a neat little side- line in bottled Atlantic, packaged seaweed and recorded seagull squawks. A vacuum cleaner firm might peddle tastefully-wrapped bags of just plain dirt, for house- wives in air-conditioned apart- ments. There's no limit. Q. Should a woman call on a new neighbor in the same apart- ment building? A. An offer of friendship Is never out of place. In fact, the fine old custom of calling on new neighbobrs is done too in- frequently these days, and I'm heartily in back of anyone who tries to revive it.
