ABOUT THE LADY 0F ARLINGTON For the past week we have had known as much when we were in Washington last yeari about Robert E. Lee, the great leader o! the Southern army in the American Civil War, as we know now. though that know- ledge is stili small indeed. When you read about a bouse where a famous family bas liv- ed, that house cornes alive for you. Having read its history, il you then visit the house, you can picture those people moving 1about in it, living their daily !lives. We have just finished 1reading a moving. well-writteri novel based on the life of Mrs. Robert E. Lee, called "The Lady of Arlington," by Harnett T. Kane. Arlington was the beautiful 1estate and southern mansion across the Potomac River fromi Current and Con fidential By Elsie Carruthers Luinney ýl ý Washington where Mary Cus- tis, later the wife of Robert E. Lee, was born and brouight Up. She and her husband lived thcrc too in between bis tours of duty with the Army in scat- tered posts. Mary Custis loved ber home with a deep and abid- ing love. In it were many treasures belonging to George Washington and brougbt fromn bis home at Mount Vernon a few miles away, by bis adopted son, who was Mary's father. Now Cemetery When in Washington last year we saw the beautiful ground.a o! tbis estate, and a glimpse tbrough the trees of the stately, white porticoed bouse which is now known as the Lee Mansion. Covering the acres which were In tbeir owner's time, park and cultivated fields, are now tbou- sands upon tbousands of graves. Arlington, the home of Mary Custis Lee, is now Arllngton National Cemetery. Here bas been built an open amnphitheatre where tbe city o! Washington observes Memorial Day and Armistice Day, usual- ly witb tbe President in attend- ance. Here bas been built a memorial to the Unknown Sol- dier, as well there might since there are 4,720 unknown graves in Arlington Cemetery, some of the dead o! tbe Civil War wbo were brougbt there. We wish now that we bad gone through the Lee home, whicb is open to the public, but we had not then read much about Robert E. Lee, or bis wife. We had seen many beau- tiful southern mansions in our short trip to Williamsburg, Fredericksburg and Mount Ver- non, and so we drove tbrough the beautiful grounds but did not enter the bouse. Federals Take Over Now that we have read the history of this bouse, we bave deep regrets. Maybe we will be able to return some day. This beautiful mansion and estate were appropriated by the UnîT,- ed States Government during the Civil War, manoeuvred through a tax sale. Federal troops were quartered tbere and the priceless relics which. came from the George Wash- ington home and had to be left, behind in the bouse when Mrs. Lee and ber daugbters fled from it. were also "appropriat- cd". Later she was able to se- cure the return of a few, but most remained the propçrty o! the Government. As the home of the wife of the commander o! the Army o! the South, Arlington was a prize which the Federal Army could flot resist, and the Gov- ernment sanctioned it. It near- ly broke the beart of the wom- an who bad lived s0 many years o! ber life there amid its beau- ty and quietness. But she was flot the kind who broke easily though she suffered greatly in many ways during ber life. Wor-th Your Time Do by all means read d'The Lady of Arlington, (it's in Bow- manville Public Library), and do by ail means, if you go to Washington, visît Arlington, which is beautiful in spite o! its row on row o! graves. In fact, it is probably one o! the most beautiful cemeteries in the world. But we can't help ne- membering that it was first the home o! Mary Custis Lee, tomn fnom ber because she was th~e wife of Robert E. Lee. JUST A PINCH 0F THAT, PLEASE Oh, these paoo, poor people who have to plant pounds o! grass seed to make lawns thîs year. We see by the papers that a crop failure last year bas boosted Kentucky blue gras from 60 cents to $1.90 a pound. It is mixed in with other grass seeds, and o! course the pnice wiil reflect tbis gentie mixture. We tbought grass seed was bigh enough when. we bought, especially when the birds kept thinking it was put out express- lY for tbem. But it looks as if the gold dust bas gone even higher. For 'instance a kind im- ported from Maryland for tbe first time la3t year and which found favoir in Toronto, is pric- think about when you hear the word Easter? In a recent coun- try-wide survey It was toundl that 90 % of Utcepeople answer- ed 'Bunnies'. Hoever Mary Rutherford pointed 'out that it was the Resurrection of Jesus Christ that should be the tbougbt. Also at Christnmas za> often the truc meaning la ove r- sbadowed by the thought of what one is going to fibd aa the Christmas tree. A vocal duet by Stella Carson and Arlene Rainey waa cnjoy- ed by ail and a most enjoyable' meeting was brougbt ta a close" with lunch and a social hait hour. How to Decorate Eggs for Easter How to decorate eggshells for Easter was described today by the Head Chef o! the Laura Secord Candy Shops. Use eggs, be says. that bave been standing at room temper- atune for several hours. Take a long darning needie and pune- ture the egg at each end. Try to puncture the yolk, but do not make the bole too large as the sheli will be weakened. Put one o! the boles to the lips and gen- tly blow into egg. The contents sbould flow out at the other end and into a bowl set out for the purpose. Use a hat pin as a bolder while decorating the shell. Paint sbells with opaque water color and allow tbe back- ground to dry, then paint over it with designs or scenes. Paint- ed eggs may be used to decor- ate the branches o! a small bare tree placed in a pot or holder. Candy eggs also may be used for this purpose to simu- late budding bkissoms. The consolidated net profit for 1953 o! The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company o! Canada, Limited amounted to $4,797,204, whlch a!ten providing for divl- dends on the preferred shares outstanding is equivalent to $17,49 per share on the out- standing common stock, accord- ing to the Annual Report o! the Company neleased last week. This compares with $4,337,795 or $15,69 per sbare for 1952. Capital expenditures during the year amounted to $4,070,- 549, covering the cost of addi- tions ta the plant and equip- ment for the improvement -A production facilities. The ex- pansion programme initiated in 1951 involving the erection -,f new factory buildings on the New Toronto property, and the installation of the required equipment was completed, and the new facîlities went i.nto op- eration in December. Some fur- ther extensions to the New To- ronto plant are in process and are expected to be completed soon. Working capital was increas- cd by $1,751,019 as a resuit of the year's operations. It was pointed out that the Company had no bank indebtedness at December 1. 1953. The volume of sales in ail lines' was about equal to- that of 1952 because increased sales in the domestie market counter- balanced a substantial reduc- tion in export sales. The fîrst ail-nylon passenger tire was introduced in M4y, 1953. Sales o! these tires, and o! the new Suburbanite passen- ger tires and ail-nylon truck in- troduced in 1952, exceeded ail expectations, and the Com- pany's facilities were extended to the utmost to fill the de- mand. Sales of industnial rub- ber goods continued at reason- ably higb levels, and sales o! special products such as Air- foam, Pliofilm, and Neolite, have sbown satis!actory in- creases. The report drew attention to the taxation factor in the Coin- pany's operations and in the selling prices o! its produets. Taxes o! ail kinds pj.d by the Company in 1953 amounted ta $12,020,237, equivalent to $46.72 per share ,o! issued common stock. Further, the report stat. ed, the Company's products are generally sold at tax included 4 Unchallenged for Fine Car Features The motoring e»se of Pontlae's "extra" features Is the wonder of the low-priced field.

If the taxes as applied are deducted, there is little dif- iference to be found in the sel1- ing prîces in the two countries, the report stated. Chief reasons apart from tax- es for slightly Iower prices in the United States are larger volume o! production with con- sequent lower unit costs; re- ilatively cheaper cost of distri- bution to the mass mnarkets in the United States, and the high- er costs of compontent parts, chemnicals, production machin- ery, etc., eitber imported or available in Canada.
