PAGE polm Current and Con fidential ~ By Elsie Carruthers Lunney DISCOVERY BY AIR It isn't very often that we tura the radio on and leave it an, but Saturday morning we thought we wouid have a little background music for the housework. The dial happened ta be set at CFRB and as we pushed the dust mop around a voice came ta life saying - 'these rose bushes of course niay be purchased from Brook- dale-Kiagsway Nurseries in Bowmanvilie. 1 was just talking ta Norm Scott before we wemît on the air, and he said-" Well! It s rather startling ta suddenly hear yaur awn home town coni iag out of the air waves like that. You can imagine we listened keenl.y ta the rcst of the pro- gram which is called 'Your Gar- den". Much valuable informa- tion is given in a very informai and interesting way. Probablv you.ýve been following this pro- gram aIl along, but we are ash- aned to say we didn't know ît was on the air. Tune in on Sat- ur'zlav mornings. at 9 a.m. The pragram follows the news.

Caught out, ho admit- ted the story of Underground work and tortures -endured in the lait war, as told ta Quentin Reynolds and published in the Reader's Digest and in book form as "The Man Who Would' Talk", was complete fabricattin. Yet sanie smart persan buit up a publicity story about the fel- low being such a fine Christian and example of everything that is good, that letters of sympathy1 poured in,-and his book went into a second printing of anather 10,000 on the strength of it. Very clever publicity - awfully silly public. Some hoaxes are amusing however, and do littie harm, It is interesting ta see how much the public will swallow. Maay years ago in the days of horses, a fine fellow came to Bowman- ville, with a, great zeal for health and cleanliness. He said he was a sanitary inspectar. He received great co-operation from livery stable owners and others, and was invited ta speak at Rotary. With the inspector di- recting, a great dlean-up cam- paign was staged. And then they came from Whitby and took him back. His escapes always followed the same pattern the authorities said. Bowmaniville had been pro- perly had, but it didn't mind. It ,had a good laugh at being taken in, and anyway, everything was now as slick as a whistle. Be- fore our time, but there must be lots of peaple who remember it.

Dear Mr. James: Father pointcd out with great pride that you had included xny name among Durham's histor- ians-an honaur I so little de- serve. My interest in Durham's his- atory has grown greater rather rthan less year by year and 1 jhave just managcd ta persuade the Department of History and the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Toronto ta acccpt me as an extra-mural Ph.D. student and ta apprave as my thesis topic a histary of Durham County. If the signifi- cance of Durham's history is last upon a large section af its population, it is nat last upon those who appreciate significant facts. What is the purpase of a stu- dy of history? Why not let the dcad past bury its dcad? What use is knowlcdge of what hap- pened in the dimn past ta those who dwcli in the Atomic Age? Perhaps the best way ta answcr that line of thought is with an analogy. Whca you go ta the doctor, what is the first thing that he docs? He makes a case history. We are just what we were and ta undcrstand the present it is esseatial ta kaow the factors of which the prescat îs the result. History thea is a type of dlag- nosis and without diagnosis treatment is impossible. And sa we have a paradox. It is im- passible ta uaderstaad the pres- ent much iess prepare for the, future without a knowledge of the past and it is vaiueless ta study the past without the in- tention of leading ta an under- standing of the present and ta plans for the future. In short, a histarian is not an antîquarian. But ta get back to earth, you may be interested in the uni- vcrsity's reason for appraving the thesis tapie. It was felt that a careful study of anc county might serve as a model for oth- ers who might care ta prepare couaty histories. My being al- lowcd ta do this piece of warkj is not a recognition of brilliance but rather of dogged tenaity and the ability ta do a neat piece of work provided the scope is limited. In connection with materiali for this thesis, do you know any-1 White Fruit Cake cup butter cups glazed cherries cup blanched almonds slce caadied pineapple cups sifted cake fiaur tsps. baking powder tsp, saIt tsp. rose extract tsp. almoad extract cups fruit sugar eggs, weii beaten cup miik tbsps. lemon juice Let butter stand at rooni teri- perature for haif hour then creaun until plastic.
