Fe a They Still Make Grace Fans Y till decor- Wied Ll igor ig 250-year-old Worshi Com-~ Ed _ pany. of Fan Makers has at least one member who produces these fans, although most of. the mem- bers of the guild make modern, '| mechanical fans, This company is the youngest of the London City Trades Guilds: it wag granted a charter by Queen Anne in 1709 though it~ "had existed informally prior to this date. A picture is preserved ° representing the Queen standing - by a (table on which is laid the . royal sharter. - Today the materials used for fans include plastic and nylon, as well ag the more traditional "chicken" skin, silk, satin, and lace, Fans have from 12 to 24 folds and they are stretched be- tween two sticks of carved ivory or wood, Hand fans were {first used in Japan as long ago as 2000 B.C.; fans were also fashionable in China. Eventually their use spread to Europe, where they - reached the zenith of' pbpularity in the 18th century. A fascinating use of fans was the 'fan language' of ladies of society.

Their beaux, too, were expected to understand these unique communications of society ballrooms writes Brian C. Pearson in The Christian Science Monitor. - Nowadays the use of fans is not an everyday custom, and most people have never handled a fan. But there is stil a demand for these delicate implements. One member of the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers has pro- duced fans for the present Queen of England as well as for Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. He also made fans for use at the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. A Some people make a hobby of collecting beautiful fans. For the intending collector, it is advis- able to preserve the fans in a dry atmosphere--but not too dry or warm, for the skins and glues of some fans are often brittle. A small cabinet with shallow draw- ers is an ideal storage place for these beautiful works of art, Buried Loot A Grave Matter Middleburg, South Africa, po- lice were very puzzled recently . when burglars stole a large saje containing a sum of money. No trace of the safe could be found anywhere. It had simply van- ished ° : ; A few days later Detective- Sergeant W.G. A. Scholtz and as- sistant dete tive received a mys- terious anonymous telephone call telling them that if they visjtod the cemetery at nearby Naauw- poort they might find things '~ there that shouldn't be there. Playing a hunch, the two men went to the cemetery and the . young detective became interest- ed in a new grave lavishly decor- ated with fresh wreaths. With- out obtaining an "exhumation order he instructed laborers to dig up the grave--and out came: the safe, intact, from the bottom of the six-foot grave. The détective had noted one minor detail overlooked by the. thieves who buried the safe and planted the wreaths on its grave; there , were no names on the wreaths!

For Mrs. Verdie Scott, above, of Midland, Texas, doing her own repairs is nothing 'new. She is' a licensed plumber and does electrical work, These skills were developed .through necessity. During World War H, Mrs. Scott and her late 'husband operated a tourist court,- Mr. Scott was in bad health and they couldn't get help, so Mrs. Scott took on the patch-up chores. She's been doing her own carpentry, plumbing and electrical work ever. since. With that mouthful of nails she looks like a professional carpenter. * : = CLLIELAG,, htt ZaiNger FARM Gwendoline PD. Clarke The weather is a lively sub- ject for discussion these days. It means different things to dif- ferent people. So far around here, we are experiencing an open winter but that isn't a mat- ter of rejoicing for everyone. For those who have to travel the highways, yes, but for far- mers whose income during the present year depends on field crops 'and milk cheques it isn't so good. Without a protective covering of snow what will hap- pen to the wheat and forage crops? Particularly the forage crops. Without snow, pastures and seeded down flelds may be winter-killed. That, eventually, will mean poor pasture and very little hay. Farmers as a class have a re- putation for never being satis- fied. They have earned that re- putation first because what ap- pears wonderful * weather to business people and pleasure- seekers alike is seldom right for the farmer, For instance, snow- filled roads are a headache to motorists but they mean money in his pocket to the farmer: I doubt if urban and rural folk will ever understand each other because their basic needs are so entirely different. Take eggs as a sample. We dont use many eggs now so I hadn't been pay- ing much attention to the price lately. But yesterday I came to with a jolt--by a price-tag in: our village store. "Grade A large, 39¢." I support it's a case of once a farmer always a far- mer. I didn't think to myself as a person in town might do -- "Thirty-nine cents, that's won~ derful." No, my reaction was one of deduction. "Thirty-nine cents! Heavens, that means far- mers are getting only 28¢, or possibly. an average of 25¢ from the graders." Why, oh why, should farm produce be so low and other prices so high? Four dozen eggs to pay for a haircut; the price of a grade cow at the stock- yards to buy a man's suit. Chil- dren now look on'a "quarter" for spending money as a mere pittance but mother knows that -with every quarter away goes 'the - gross receipt for a dozen oggs. 'And the wages for hired help! Five dollars a day in win- ter is the very least. I know it . doesn't sound too much insofar as .the 'help 'is concérned. but it .is absolutely out of balance * with the farmér's inconié. What happens? Many a hundréd-acre farmer does without help, puts - in longer hours: himself and works to the point of "exhaus- tion. We know . . . Partner has done jt -- and so have many others. Last week we visited a young fellow working a farm on Shares. Ha was putting out seven cans of milk a day and yet found it .impossible to hire help worth the wages they were - asking. He . looked just about : dead on his feet. Why wouldn't '| he, working from five in the morning until seven at night? = There must surely be something wrong with our economy when es | bY one man. works fourteen hours a day to make a living and an- other only six. Of course there will come the inevitable retort ~what about the unemployed? Yes, what about them? If the farmer who needs help and the man who needs work should get together, something might be accomplished for the benefit of all concerned. Five 'dollars, lus two meals.a day ought to ook good to a man out of work --except that many a man cai make that much drawing unem- ployment insurance. ; . Oh well, I suppose every age has its problems -- some big, some small, And sometimes our eyes see things out of focus. Small problems we look upon as big problems and big prob- lems we often regard as beyond our understanding. That is often too true but it doesn't excuse lack of interest. For instance we may know little about how gov- ernment affairs are run but we should at least have some. idea 'of the type of men and women we want in office to run things for us. At a recent municipal election near here only four per cent of the eligible voters cast their ballots. That is surely a' disgrace and a reflection on our use of democratic rights. Well, I had just finished writ- ing the. above when we were confronted" with three 'prob- lems" of our own. Three small grandsons, no less, Dee, Art and the boys arrived soon after lunch. It was several weeks since they had been out with the children. Jerry, three -months old, is as good as gold, David seems suddenly to have jumped from a toddler to a little boy. Eddie, not yet two, is the one who keeps éveryone on the jump. Independent, adventurous and happy. No matter how mf)- chievous he is you just have lo love him. They all brought their skates 'as we have a patch. of ice at the back of our lot. Dave is just learning to skate; Eddie slides 'along on bob-skates, s0 the whole family had lots of fun for about an hour--includ- g 'grandpa--but minus skates, Then came an afternoon nap-- ed supreme. 7 and peace reign It . is 'wonderful to have an | portunity to" watch our geand- dren up. 'Instinctively we hope against hope that the uncertain times in which we | live will eventu _ simmer down to a less turbulent and eful era, Perhaps the Lib- peacef 'erdl Convention now in progress will point the way, I wonder! Modern Etiquette. . . * Q. Is it all right for a hostess to place the food on the individ- ual dinner plates and have every- thing reddy when her guests sit down, or should she always have the food on platters for passing around? A. In a home without servants, arranging food on the place plates is a very practical idea, and certainly is not improper. ~~ Q. Should a girl wear an even- ing dress to a dance when she knows that her escort is going to wear a business suit? A. Not unless it has been agreed beforehand by other fem- inine members of the party that they are going to wear gowns, despite the fact that the men are all wearing business suits. Q. Is it necessary for a woman | to rise from her chair when ac- knowledging an introduction? A. While not' considered nec- essary, it still- indicates a more genuine pleasure over the meet- ing when she does rise. + Q. My husband and I have been invited to a double wed- ding: ceremony. The one couple are very good friends, hut the other we know only slightly. Are we obligated to send wed- ding gifts to both couples? : A. A gift to your very good - © friends is the only requirement. Of course, a little gift fo the other bride would not be im- proper, but it isn't expected. Q. How shoyld one handle the spoon when partaking of soup? A.
