This means that {apple orchards of the more north- | erly areas such as Eastern Ontario | can provide a source of top qual- | ity fruit, provided attention is given | to setting out trees which will with- {stand the severe winter conditions |to be expected in these areas. Mr. Logsdail feels that the most important factor to be considered in this regard is the rootstock. The majority of apple orchards in Canada today are growing on French Ctab or allied rootstocks. Mr. Logsdail says these are not sufficiently hardy to withstand the severe winters which are exper- ienced periodically in Eastern On- tario. However such rootstocks as Malus robusta, Malus baccata, Anis, Antonovka or Patten greening have proved their hardiness. They have | survived such severe winters as 1033 when whole orchards grown on the French Crab stock were practically destroyed. While it is sometimes difficult to secure young apple trees on | these hardy rootstocks, Mr. Logs- dail feels it will be well worthwhile for' growers in Northern areas to make sure they get such nursery stock. Indeed, when ry he feels it would be wise to delay planting for a year or more in order to make arrangements to have one-year whips of the desired type grown by nurserymen or com petent growers. He adds there are some firms producing thjs type of | youhg tree, and information re-| | garding reliable sources of supply {can be obtained frem the Horticultural Di vis ®on, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, or from the Kemptville Agricultural School. | 45--Agents Wanted = HERE'S A NATURAL -- PRESTO- | speeds from water faucet.

BLAKESLEE New York (AP) -- Sometimes people may have a tiny cancer that comes and then goes away without their ever knowing it. This possibility, a new puzzle in the riddle of cancer, was des- cribed to the annual meeting of the American Cancer Society. The science sessions were de- cer by looking for cancer cells in fluids or gentle scrapings from body organs. This method appears to be one of the best for finding some kinds of cancer when the cancer is still' only a tiny spot, confined to one location. Dy, James W. Reagan of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, told of six women in whom such tiny, early .cnacers apparently disappear ed later with no treatment. The women were checked continuously to watch the cancers and start treatment if needed. The tiny spots were judged to be cancers of the cervix, the neck of the uterus or womb. They were detected by cell smear studies. In some, bits of tissue also were cut from the cervix and judged by an expert pathologist to be cancers. These cancers were localized -- they had not spread elsewhere or {invaded nearby tissues. Later on the cancers were found to be gone, Dr. Reagan said. As Jong as 17 months later the cancers had not appeared again. How long they may have existed originally before being detected is not known. These . ix cases turned up during a study of more than 100 women found to have such tiny cancers of the cervix. Another mystery is that these tiny, early cancers may sleep for years. Dr. Paul F. Fletcher, St. Louis University school of Medic- |cers of the cervix might remain | ine, said reports showed that can- | This Week's Bridge re Although there weren't many really big hands in this week's Du- plicate Bridge session several were quite interesting from a competitive bidding viewpoint. When the strength is fairly evenly divided in all four hands, that is usually the time that the most skillful bid- ders are the only ones to finish in the best contract or sacrifice for a lower minus score. Such was the case this week on a number of hands and in some respects these types should be interesting to all pairs, as it needs greater partnership co-operation in the bidding than on strong hands. It. seems strange that we all like to bid and play game bids in prefer- ence to a part score bid. We appar- ently do not stop to think that probably all the other pairs will be | doing the same thing, therefore we {are not galning anything because it is ice-cold. Usually a part score hand is. dif- ficult to make and you have to fight hard Yor every winning trick, and in making your contract you have achieved something that war- rants that feeling of satisfaction you get when you have played a hand really well.

She should know, since we have lived on this singular two-block- long byway for more than twenty years and things are always hap- pening there. She has been an ener- getic but unpaid reporter for the AP for as long. She has turned up several neat scoops, including first tidings on some of the current developments in the case of Billy Rose, whose home is exactly across the street. The fact that he has put Beekman Place back into the headlines gives me the text for this story. For more than two decades the Beekman district has been the scene of murders (six of them), robberies, suicides and almost ev- ery known form of violence that makes news. This yarn will re- cord some of the curious goings-on atop Beekman Hill (where the Brit- ish once condemned Nathan Hale 'las a spy). It also will bare my personal humiliation when I was scooped on one of the swellest stories of Beekman Place history. This area overlooking the Eas River is between Forty-ninth and mile from mid-Manhattan. Once it was a dreamy Shangri-la two or three moons from comparatively nearby Boardway. But no longer! | Today it gives a good imitation of | the roar at Forty-second and Broad- Does In Beekman Place PFifty-first streets and only a half-| | Nations representatives of one of Happen And the story of a fictional murder many years ago. There have been other untoward happenings in our little world. The late James Forrestal once lived an attractive private house at Fif- tieth and Beekman (it now houses the Irving Berlins). Just before he moved there from a brownstone a few doors away his wife was robb- |ed of her jewelry as she entered the vestibule. Forrestal 'had a private cop to watch his place. We knew him well and talked to him virtually. every evening. But when the robbery oc- curred the private eye was on va- cation, or had a day off or some- thing. Then there was the suicide of a | famous lawyer on which the AP | got a flash report from its amateur Beekman Place operative. Now to the Beekman Place of more recent days. Anything can happen there and does. Not so long ago one corner building turned out [to be a call hourse of fabulous pro- | portions catering to the' carriage | trade.

The new residents tried to have Royal Horse Show Will Be More Compact A quick-moving, more compact horse show is assured at this year's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, Nov. 13-21, by elimination from the Royal Horse Show pro- gram of the six-horse driving comp- etitica. The decision to strike the driving competition from the horse show performance enables other events such as the international jumping * contests, to be held earlier in the evening. Although the driving competition will be dropped there still will be classes for the six-horse teams and their colorful show wagons. They will enter the ring to be judged, but will not give demonstrations. Alsc eliminated willy be two classes in the breeding horse divis- ion. Balancing these actions was a decision to split a section of the four-horse team class, in order to provide separate classes. for Percherons, Belgians and Clydes- dales. "We hope these moves will elim- inate an aspect of the horse show which, although important in its own right, does not hold sufficient appeal for the horse show's general public. We want to let our publie get home at a decent hour," said C. S. McKee, general manager of the fair. NORTH SIMCOE PHARMACY 885 SIMCOE ST.

The cop honored our po- lice cards and then refused to let anybody else up. I shall never forget the scene on the second floor. There before my startled eyes were four men lined |up in front of the old marble man- tle in the living room. | | One was the superintendent of {my apartment building; another | was the superintendent of the Tit- | | terton building; two were strang- | jers. | I tried to interview the four but | got only mumbles. "There are too many people | {here," I said to myself. "Somebody Is guilty as hell of something?" | And so it turned out. The two | strangers were the owner of an upholstery shop and his helper. They had come to deliver a sofa. They got in because the door was ajar. They found the body in the bathtub, reported to the building superintendent, who told our super, who in turn called the police. So there were the four in front of the fireplace. You may recall that later the upholsterer's assistant was nabbed through tracing a piece of string used in upholstery work. He had been there earlier that day, murdered the woman, tumbled her body 'in the bathtub and left-- leaving the door open. That was one of his fatal mistakes. For days on end our apartment was the rallying place of all the reporters of the city who covered the area waiting for a break. We served them oceans of coffee and miles of sandwiches, but it was all a part of the excitement. The Titterton murder was not the first. A short time before, Vera Stretz had killed Dr. Fritz Geb- hardt in a hotel just around the corner. Perhaps the biggest news of all came short of a year later when the model Veronica Gedeon, her mother and roomer were killed on Easter Sunday 1937. That happen- ed a block and a half from Beek- man, but sufficiently close to get the once quiet street in the head- lines again. Of this tragedy I have a strange tale to tell. A week or so before the murders I or somebody had requested a Sunday story on a young sculptor named Robert Ir- win woh was making a name some- place in upstate New York.
