There might be hun- dreds of horses in a procession = even a thousand, if a power- tul monarch were being met. The harness was brilliant -- worked leather, with gilt and enamel fittings, and silken embroideries. Most fantastic of all was a horse resented by the Sultan of Tur- | ey to Catherine the Great. Not | merely are its trappings worth a king's ransom, but it wore silver shoes -- and the nails were also of silver! .

Most Victimized Of All Sick People For rheumatoid arthritis, Ame- rican scientists agree, aspirin is the safest long-term drug. But it isn't casy to convince a pa- tient, crippled with arthritis, that so simple a treatment is suffi- cient to control so terrible a dis- ease, They may seek other doc- tors, who will prescribe stronger drugs, perhaps heavy doses of cortisone. Because this painful disease is such a medical mystery, the arth- ritic victim is the most exploited of all sick people in the nation. Men and women with twisted backs, inflamed legs and arms, stiffened fingers, - and shriveled muscles, -are constantly being . lured into buying books suggest- ing cures, inadequate drugs, de- vices, and treatments that are worthless, unduly expensive, and even dangerous. "I" know it is ridiculous, but I'm so désperate I'll spend any amount to get rid of this pain," a long-suffering arthritic said in explaining why he had paid $600 _ to a faith healer. Among the other cruel hoaxes being" perpetrated on a gigantic scale: Uranium-ore pads and mittens, advertised to have a lasting effect on pain « (raido- activity of the ore is comparable to that in the average radium- dial wrist watch); "super aspir- in" for $3 to $4 a hundred (the same drug can be bought for a few cents a hundred); alcohol and herb roots, containing gin, water, © and vegctable colors ("brown for neuritis," and "green for arthritis," the ad goes).

Cucumbers are coming along nicely but root vegetables are nowhere near ready. However, we are well satisfied with what we are getting considering our low-lying garden patch was too wet to work until the middle of July. One _thing we are missing is mushrooms. Until this: year we have had lots of them growing - wild. This year all I have seen up to the present-is-one sorry lit=--|- tle mushroom, It must be they don't like dry weather.

He has bolts and bits strewn on the ground all around him and how he ever knows what belongs to which I'll never know. As we approached Milton we noticed how much the landscape had | changed. As a matter 'of fact it | ~ hasbeen slowly ~changing for several years but the change is now more. noticeable. We have regretfully become accustomed to the sluaghter of trees and the mushroom growth. of hoting and industry. But now another: equally destractive "fo = scenic beauty. I am referring to quar- ries. "Part of the Niagara Escarp- ment -- that is, the part that Miltonians refer to as "the Moun- tain" is gradually being bull- dozed away. 'Several quarries are in operation and the lovely lime- stone rock is being daily blasted, crushed and trucked away for various purposes -- for -road- work, building and construction. Milton residents. have always been proud of their Mountain -- it provided a pleasing back- ground to green fields, orchards and pastures. And the colour- 'ing in the fall was beaufiful be- yond description. Red: maples and evergreens against the grey- white limestone was something to remember. We found yet another change had taken place. An old milling business that had been in opera- tion since Jasper Martin built his first grist mill in 1837, has beeh sold to the Robin Hood Milling Company, after being in Martin's name for three successive gén- erations, The Martin family was: chiefly respensible for the found- ing of Milton and saw it grow from pioneer settlement to vil- lage and" finally to being the county town of Halton, It is a change that many of the older residents will regret. To them Milton and Martin's mills are. synonymous. 'Too 'many "links with the past, in Milton and else- where, 'have already been lost, dropping like nineping before the onslaught of modern progress.

"birds -- jet transports -- over Logan In- ural variety -- gulls. . The advent of commercial fet greater frequencies of jet flights, has augmented the need to elim- inate birds from the neighbor- hood of airport runways. The problem is not peculiar to Boston but is one that engages the at- tention of airport - managers wherever airports lie along thé margin of the sea. When it is considered that a- jet transport may be flying at a speed of' close to 170 miles an hour when it takes off, .con- siderable damage may result to the aircraft by striking birds on the runway. Moreover, the birds may be ingested into the intakes of the jet engines and introduce the possibility of engine stop- 'page. Recently, a Scandinavian Air- lines System jet transport, tak- ing off from Copenhagen's Kas- trup Airport, ran into a flock of birds severely denting the leading edge of the wing and taking four gulls into its engines. The aircraft lost power from one engine but was able to complete its take-off and come around and land again, 7 Massachusetts Port Authority airport officials disdain taking authorized to do so -- such as wholesale shooting, or poisoning of gulls to.get rid of them, More- over, it would rouse bird lovers. That method, they believe, is only short range and does not solve the problem. The solution, they believe, is eliminating the food sources of the birds nearby - which is possibly the cause of their nesting in "the areas be- tween Logan's runways, writes Albert D. Hughes in The Chris- tion Science Monitor. Cutting off bird food sources would mean closer' inspection and contrél by the city of dump areas 'and over the casting of fish offal into the sea which at- tracts the gulls as feeding --grounds, -- Airport officials say the birds inhabit the ends of the runways in. cooler weather generally fol- - lowing hot weather.

Map 'Makers Face Many Problems The problem of signs and sym- ~bols-on'maps was a bad one, and for a long time map makers did not know how 'to solve it. In | 1880, there were more than a "thousand different kinds of geo- graphical features 'shown on maps, starting with cities and towns, roads, beaches, and ram- bling on through rivers, bridges and ferries, There were other symbols that 'represented or=- chards and vineyards, 'and still others- that represented manufac- turing centers and military in- important things as boundary. lines, compass points and the slope of the land, every map maker had his own ideas. Map makers needed to get together, The most troublesome problem of all was the spelling of place names, and notes to the reader. -- the language of the map. The map maker and reader of maps ~ternational-Airport-and-the -nat-. "aircraft at East Boston, plus the - harsh measures -- even though "stallations," When it came to such | -home \ . had to 'deal with several differ- ent alphabets and hundreds of different letters in order to un- derstand the maps that wera printed in a foreign country. Maps were printed in Arabic, German, Greek, Hebrew, Rus: sian, Chinese, Japanese and seve eral other languages, All of thesa ianguages-used strange letters. das... their alphabets,-and even if a person knew the letters of tha alphabet, he often. had trouble in deciding what the map maker was trying to say and the places he was trying to label, Should the name be written Moskva, Moscua, Moschia, Moscou, hind kau or Moscow? . Map makers ade 'a brave start. They did not lose hope, and onetby one they solved the proh- lems that would make it possible for the world to have an inter- national map, a map that could be read and understood by everyone. 'One by one they es- tablished a universal prime mer- idian, a standard method of keeping time, a standard scala of measure, and a code of sym- bols and signs. The languages and alphabets of the world are still causing trouble, but map makers have not given up, and they are working every day. to- ward the perfection of a map of the -world for all men. -- From "Map Making: The Art That Be- came a Science," by Lloyd A.
