Paruf Thanks Bird for Present-Day Prosperity Peru Ues on the west coast o/ South America, but a large part of southern Peru actually is east of New York. Of all the South American countries Peru is by far the richest historically. Its fnca empire was one of the greatest civilisations developed by a primitive people. Lima, oldest city on the continent, is Peru's Capital?and it is the most Spanish of South American cities. Copper, oil and silver swel) Peru's riches. But one of her greatest sources of income is the gift of a bird. The barren guano islands off the coast, which have been the home of millions of sea birds since the days of the Incas, supply tons upon tons of super-fertilizer. Went to try a train ride three miles abpve the sea? Then buy a ticket on the Peruvian Central railway, the highest standard-gauge railroad in the world, which orosses the wild Andes at altitudes of 15,000 and 10,000 feet. And if you And yourself getting short of breath, attendants will upply you with oxygen. Ask your wife If she can name the world's rarest fleece. It's vicuna, from a rare, strange animal found [ only in Peru and Bolivia. He looks like a beautiful fawn and lives two or - three miles up in the Peruvian ' mountains, where almost j&q other | mammal can survive. His -beautiful golden-chestnut fleece brings fabulous prices?and to make sufficient cloth for a single overcoat (price around $900) the hair of about 60 vicunas is needed. On a monument beside the concrete highway from Lima to Callao stands afi automobile that was smashed to smithereens in an accident. Inscribed on the base is a reminder to speeding motorists: "Despacio se va lejos." Which means: "Go slow and you will trav| el far. I New Function of HeartCited by Sleep Motility A hitherto unknown property of , the human heart?its ability to antio ipats body movements of a sleepI ing person by as much as six minutes?was reported at the University of Virginia. Minter M. Jackson, graduate psychology associate, made the discovery acgiflentftlly while measuring the movements of sleepers during a normal nightta sleep. On anelectrical apparatus, Jackson measured the sleep motility of a? number of persons and found that normal individuals take a considerable amount of "exercise" while1 resting. The group averaged 05 movements. In studying the graphs on which heartbeats also were recorded, he found that the heartbeat not only increased with the exertion but inwardly anticipated it. For example, the tape told of a sleeper whose heart rate began in- 1 creasing from 63 a minute to about 66 within 5^ minutes. In the final half-minute before the sleeper moved the rise was precipitated to 88.8 just at the time of the movement. i | Speaking of Pears The pear is one fruit that is better if picked from the tree while still green, and ripened later. Therefore don't be alarmed if the would-be I tender morsels that you see at the store have not as yet reached their J prime stage for eating. If they are the kind and size that you need, they will ripen very quickly in your kitchen or even in your refrigerator. For canning, the open kettle, or the steam canner are probably the best methods. The pear turns dark quickly after it is peeled, so immerse it gently in a solution of one tenspoon of salt to one quart of cold water, and it will retain its whiteness longer. Cook a few at a time, if canning by open kettle, or if canning in the steamer by the hot pack method, pack just a few jars and pour the syrup over them before going on to the next. A tablespoon of lemon juice to each quart of pears will help retain their whiteness, and give them a nice flavor. Earth's Axis If the earthly tilt were changed enough to make the earth's axis just t right angles to our direction from the sun, then all seasons would vanish. Every spot on the earth would keep the same season the year round. The tropics would always be hot and the poles would always be very cold. Places like New York, St. Louis or San Francisco would always have spring or fall weather. If the earth's tilt were changed so that the axis of the earth pointed directly at the sun then the north polar regions, and that of the upper half of the world, would always have 24 hours sunlight each day and the intense heat of perpetual, direct sunlight. The other end, the South pole, would ever be in perpetual blackness and the cold on that end of the earth would become so great that no one would want to live in it. / Not Much Fun The empress of Japan lives a much-regulated life.

Covers were laid for forty five players, chtef 1 elders and guests. The piece-dosletance was a line turkey dinner, Joe McKaln, a member of the city council and also, referee In many of the games played on the home field j during the past, season, was toast master for the post-prandial. Prior to Introducing the honor guest, Mr. McKaln spoke briefly touching upon the pleasant associations that had been his lot In connection with the Camden High School football team tojr mafay years. He paid a splendid tribute to the 1941 squad, declaring the unusually fine record marked.: the season as one of the most outstanding. He pointed out that at the start df the season many of the fans were skeptical regarding the dbllity of the team to compete with other teams In the group A class. He then pointed out that the almost unblemished record was a tribute to the coaching staff of Messrs. John Villepigue and Lindsay Pierce and to members of the squad. Superintendent J. O. Richards was anothJrNpeaker who offered a splendid tribute to the prowess of the 1942 Bulldogs. Mor> Richahds talk was of Bome duration and every sentence was a fine commentary upon the excellent sportsmanship and the brilliant play- { ing accomplishments of the boys on the team. With the conclusion of his ^ remarks Mr. Richards presented block C letters to seventeen players of the squad aud also one to team manager Ned McDowell. Coach John Villepigue, whose name has been synonymous with outstanding football achievements In Camden ^ for many years, was asked to speak "to the gathering. Mr. Villepigue. like Messrs. McKaln and Richards, offered a glowing tribute to the boys of the team and declared that the 1941 team was exceptional in many. respect% He pointed out that the general impression prior to the start of the season was that the Bulldog team would be just average outfit from the standpoint of playing ability. He declared that the fact that the team lost but one game was a something every member of the squad should cherish and take pride. Other short talks were given by Carlvin Sheorn, Captain of the 1941 team and Dickie Cox, the ngwly elected leader for 1942. The playdts and cheer leaders were all presented with pictures of the 1942^ team. Yes Grandpa, Sure 'Twas Cold, By Gum The weather of the past week has served to remind the old time prophets that the rippling rythm of i "whether It's cold or whether' it's hot, J we must have weather, whether or not." Camden sure received a shot of cold last Sunday morning when the mercury, according to the police department, dropped to 10 degrees above zero. Pipes froze, radiators froze .pipes burst, the water in the street gutter* i Jroze. In fact?It was a real Medicine Hat brand of weather. !

HOW J Material Shortages and Defease Demands Affect Telephone Servin g w From 1931 through 1939 Southern Bell service was brought to * a peak of efficiency never before I attained. During these years we had full ,j margins of plant facilities, and most telephone workers were veterans with years of experience | and training. These conditions created a situation ideal for con- vi centration on the betterment of the speed and quality of our. ^ services. v Now the situation is reversed- f Defense requirements, hod^ military and industrial, as well as vkfual service, have plsoi^^ ceptional burdens on oaf physical resources and ^ Added to this 14 the MetyndouS: jj increase in local and long distance calls, which oombloedj have developed service demands without parallel in our history.

The famed American standard of living, they feel, is about to be wrecked by the all-out defense effort. Just how bad are shortages? Unless you are dose to Washington, you will never.dream how many things are thftatened, answers Gretta Palmer in the January Cosmopolitan < magazine. But the crisis has given rise to an immense development ofJ substitutes, Miss Palmer says. The watchdogs of your personal welfare ?the chemists, engineers and manufacturers of private industry?refuse to be licked by priorities denying them the usual materials out of which they make their products. Detense has proved the mother of invention. Men, under pressure, think fast, and they have telescoped the originality and invent!veaeee of Bfty years into ten months.
