Here was Trinidad, the land- ing-stage for Ralegh's first ad- wance in person" on his long dreamed of New World of Am- erica; guarded, it appeared, like the palice of Hampton Court, by heraldic stone monsters, for the fantastically carved shapes of pelicans still sit today immobile on the mooring-posts of Indian fishing-boats, as they did for cen- turies before Columbus came. . .. His own book on "The Dis- coverie of the Large, Rich, and Bewtiful Empire of Guiana" re- mairs the most vivid and excit- ing account of that Jegendary country. One may get a glimpse oi it' by drifting through the flooded jungles in canoes, safely paddled. by Indian guides through the dark tangle of huge trees that drip their long sinu- ous lianas like serpents into the water, arid suddenly reveal the starry shape of an orchid am- ong their branches. His book is about the best true adventure story ever written in the fresh- ness of its wonder and sense of beauty and terror. He and his men faced starvation at times, the fear of getting lost, of at- tacks by "unknown savages, the dank Wretchedness of getlting drenched through by sudden tor- rential rains, sometimes ten times in a day, and unable to change their clothes. Yet {far and away impression left. by the. book is sheer joy, and not only his-own. He still gives it to us today, as strongly and brilliantly as did to his own followers, whom he was- always "able te- cheer when they were down. Once when they had despaired of get- ting food, and then had the un- expected chance of a loaf of bread, . their spirits rose to a pitch that equalled his, cried aloud: "Let us go on, we care not how far!" He knew then the reward of adventure. --From "That Great Lucifer: A Portrait of Sir Walter Ralegh," by Marg- aret Irwin. Modern. Etiquette . By Anne Ashley ik Q. Is it necessary for a bride- elect to reply to notes she has received, expressing good wishes from her friends who have seen the announcement of her en- gagement in the newspaper? A. While not necessary to write notes, she may telephone them, and most certainly, she should thank all those whom she meets. Q. My wedding is to be a-very small, informal one, with only afew close friends and relatives in attendance. Would it be pro- per, under these circumstances, for me to wear the traditional white bridal veil? A. A white bridal veil is al- ways in order, no matter what the size of the wedding--pro- vided, of course, that it is the bride's lirst marriage. Q. I am always uncertain "about the lettuce on which a salad is served. I like lettuce very much, but wonder if it Is | really proper to eat it. A.

HRONICLES TGineEr FARM Gwendoline P We have just got through quite a week . . . painting by day and - baby-sitting at night. Sometimes Partner would be at one- neighbour's and 1 at an- other. .And what we earned dur- ---ing an entire evening would be spent in a couple of hours next morning. On paint, -of course. But the end is in sight. We have finished the living-room -- that is, as far as painting is concern- ed -- and 1 know Partner is thankful. It took a day and a half, two cricked necks and two gallons of white paint to do the living-dining-room and hall ceil- ings. Plus a gallon of beige for the walls, And what have we got to show for it? Well, when I was setting the livingroom to "rights Partner remarked == "You | know, anyone could walk in right now and never realize we had done anything at all." I agreed. "It is because there is so little difference in the col- our," Partner added. "Now if you had chosen green, or pink, or blue instead of using beige again it would attract more at- tention." "Yes, but then we didn't want green, pink or blue. Beige is a good neutral tone. Next year, if we are able to get new drapes and a rug we can choose any colour we like and be cerfain it 'won't clash with our walls and | woodwork." However, drapes and a rug are just a dream at present. Not but what we could do with them right now but to get them is something else again. But at least we can hope, can't we? If, as they say, anticipation is better than realization we'll keep right on anticipating and be sure of that much fun any- way. - During. our painting. orgy. The TV gave up the ghost and we had to have a repair man come in to fix that. And the telephone had a way of ringing at the most awkward times -- generally with Partner ontop of the step-ladder and I pouring paint. On our mgssiest day I looked out of the window and exclaimed -- "Oh-oh, we have visitors!" A super-duper off-white car with red uphols- tery was coming up the drive. "Wouldn't you know it?" said Partner. However, it turned out to be a welcome and: well-known friend -- I had not recognized her because of the new car, We were glad to see her even if I did greet her with a paint brush in one hand and a splatter mop in the other. "Do come in -- if you can get in -- you are just in time to join us in a cup of tea," . 1 said. Mrs. B. got in all right and settled herself comfortably on one of the sheet-covered chesterfields pulled across to one end of the room.

The first to come were two youngsters with a UNICEF box. Like a good many other folk I think UNICEF is doing a great - work and should be supported but, also like some other folk, including Joyce Davidson and Maggie Grant, I don't think UNICEF and Hallowe'en should be coupled together. Might as well have a circus mixed up with a church parade. So often these days we seem to be losing our sense of what is fitting and right. Like sacred music being "played all day in supermarkets during the Christmas season. How much better is the tradi- tional carol singing that has been a feature of Simpson's down-town- number of years. By separating shopping and carol singing for a brief period, sacred music is giv- en the respect and dignity it deserves. It is enjoyed by staff and customers alike -- and also by a large radio audience. UNICEF deserves to be treated with equal respect which, in my opinion, isn't possible, if it is coupled with witches, black cats, hobgoblins and cries of "trick or treat". I hope it is one form of collecting that will not be re- peated a second time.

And one day in the near future, a. doctor may cut ~"out--~a heart altogether -and--re--- . place it with an electric pump. "In fact, Dr. Willem J. Kolff, director of the department of artificial organs at the Cleveland Clinic = Foundation," says he "would" be very disappointed" if a- workable artificial human heart isn't ready in three years. A pioneer in developing the temporary heart-lung machine and the artificial kidney now used while patients are under- going surgery, Dr, Kolff already has tried out models of a per- manent artificial heart in dogs, for periods up to five hours. Re- cently he told a group of Mid- west doctors meeting in Omaha that the man-made heart's basic features are pretty well decided. It would be "a small motor- driven pump. Two wires will come out of the chest and into a portable battery. The battery will last long enough to fake you from one electrical outlet to or to the cigarette lighter in your car." The -first candidate for an Dr. Kolff pre- dicted, will probably be a heart patient undergoing. surgery aid- ed: by a heart:lung machine, | whose own heart cannot be re- vived. In this\ case, Dr. Kolft said, "the chest is already open and death would result if the heart-lung machine is stopped. » "Much" further into the "future, | Dr. Kolff suggests that bedrid: - den heart patients would gain new freedom with artificial hearts.

Hollywood Has Asked For It! Hollywood has asked for it And now it looks as it Holly- wood may be going to gettit. The United States motion picture in- . 'dustry has averted, by one means or another, the economic crack- up threatened by stiffening com- petition from television. But the sensational excesses committed in the name of box office -- the shock effects designed to titillate the public have brought United States cinema increas- inly closer to some form of gov- ernment control, the dreaded official crackdown, The porents to which most fim makers appear oblivious are summerized in a succession of published reports and. surveys. On Oct. 19, Variety, the show . business weekly, headlined a page one story: DO ADULTS WANT "ADULT" FILMS? Sub- headed, "New Themes Beg Cen- sorial Frown," the clared; "All indications are that the motion picture industry will face one of its most crucial legislative seasons in years in the upcom- ing 1960-61 months with film classification bills due to be story de- i introduced in a number of states." . . . Last year the industry was able to beat down state-backed classification measures almost at the last minute -- as was the case in New York. This year, however, forces are going to be much bet- ter organized -- having. had a year in which to gather their forces, and they are going to. have the backing: (sometimes un- perhaps) of many figures from within the indus- try." - Although either 'unaware or unconcerned with what they were doing, the film. producers have placed themselves in the the pro-classification ironical position of providing the . classification proponents with their most potent ammunition, The sharp deterioration of moral. and ethical standards in a very large number of motion pictures has prompted articles with such titles as "Hollywood Bypasses the Production Code" (Look magazine), "The Bold and Risky World of 'Adult' Movies" (Life magazine). "Trash for Cash -- More Movie Junk on Our Screens Poses the Question: Will Holly- wood Clean It Up -- or Will the "Dishing the Dirt -- A Blast at Mercenary Sordidness in Films" (the New. York Times). So far, Hollywood shows no disposition to clean anything up. Its apparent complacency was reflected by Eric Johnston, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, in the course of a talk given at Bev- erly Hills, Calif. Admitting that some pictures, convey "a view" of the grosser and sordid aspects and values in our society," Mr. Johnston added: "But balanced --off, it is no-less-clear-to me that our plus marks very far oul- weigh the minuses. And I hope' we will add more plusses and 'minimize the minuses.- This hope I assure you, is shared by -every * responsible" producer' I know." It is certainly shared by every responsible observer I know -- (Cue "magazine), and and by parents, teachers and others charged with helping maintain moral stabili writes John. Beaufort in the *Christian Science Monitor. Most.concern- ed individuals would not share Mr. Johnston's easy optimism, any more than they would agres that the United States motion picture is truly representing the American way of life. to over seas audiences. Repeated testi. mony from abroad confirms the _ conviction that many of the most distorted views about the United Statés are manufactured in its' own movie studios. This is scarcely the time of the: century to be exporting, self-libels. In his New York Times col- umn, Bosley Crowther urged "utmost vigilance and responsi- bility on the part of those. who are truly interested in the future of the films" with regard te "the tendency of producer made evident in any number of recent films, to go for licenti- ous stories and/or inject ex- treme and gross sex details. in their works . . . understanding of the wish of the boys to make a buck, we can only see ultimate disaster for -the quality and prestige of films and, as a consequence, for their commerce, if this sort of .thing goes on." ' With all dues ° Ot 28 United States films list" ed recently in.this newspaper's Movie Guide, 12 were marred by -sordidness, eonfused moral values, excessive violence and/or -suggestiveness. Six of the stories involved illicit rela- tionships -- employed, in most. cases, for more or less sensation- al purposes. The incidence of adultery exceeded the degree of adultness. Official classification of films, at the state or municipal level, according to their 'suitability is not in itself a guarantee of bet- ter screen entertainment. It is not (as Mr. -Johnston enjoys pointing out) a cure for juven- ile delinquency. However, in the light of the almost complete breakdown of Hollywood's long vaunted self-regulation and of the prospect that "trash. for cash" has by no means tun its course, the need has "become increasingly great for some form of control which will at least keep the screen's worst cxcesses from the young and impression- able.
