In a Western cowtown an old
man was walking by a saloon
when, without warning, a young
cowhand dashed out, took a
flying leap from the sidewalk
and landed on the seat of his
pants in the gutter.
The man hurried over to him.
"Are you hurt?" he asked.
"No," was the angry reply
"but I'd shore like to meet the
so -an -so who moved my horse."

Compietes TripTo West . Coast
Mrs. Chester Lee left Toronto
for Vancouver and Seattle by
jet plane on June 4th and re-
turned August 8th, after visit-
ing friends and relatives' and
many places of interest..
From Vancouver she took a
boat trip to Victoria and saw
the Parliament Buildings, the
beautiful parks and gardens, el-
se the Josephine Tussard Wax
Museum, where most of the
Royal Family from Queen Vic-
toria to the present day, and
many of the famous explorers,
great writers of both prose and
poetry, war commanders, Presi-
dent Kennedy, and many of the
past Presidents were magnifi-
cently displayed in life-size, so
natural you would feel they
could speak.
She attended the Military
Tattoo held at the Vancouver
Exhibition ground arena, seat-
ing 30,000, where a company of
1,066 took part, all in costume.
It opened with the guards on
horses heralded by trumpets,
360 massed brass bands air lift-
ed from Britain, 100 kilted
dancers, and 200 pipes and
drums. Crack Canadian Air
Force bands assembled from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The
air cadets danced the Sailors'
Hornpipe, and Air Force
gymnasts and acrobats put on
a performance superior to any-
thing on TV,. Mrs. Lee said.
This magnificent display was
produced by Brigadier Alasdair
MacLean, of Edinburgh, Scot-
land.
A day was spent at Stanley
Park, also visited Queen Eliza-
beth Park and the theatre un-
der the stars. She motored to
White Rock summer resort, a
beautiful spot on the ocean,
and had a pleasant time. She
crossed the Lions Gate Bridge
to West Vancouver, where she
had lived for three years, and
now is a most select residen•
tial area. Then by car she tray
elled to Seattle, passing the
Peace Arch, built on the bor-
der between Canada and the
U.S,A.; crossed -the Lake Wash-
ington floating bridge, the long-
est of its kind in the world, as
it is 6,561 feet long. Visited rel-
atives in Tacoma, Bellingham,
Yakima, and 125 miles across
the Cascades to the Cooke
Ranch, where she was fortunate
enough to see a roundup with
real cowboys herding the cat-
tle for hours. Back to Seattle
and a motor trip over the new-
ly -completed highway through
the State Park to Mount Rain-
ier, 14,410 feet above sea level.
Driving miles through virgin
forest, mostly pine, spruce and
hemlock, she saw the rivers fill-
ed with log booms. She travel-
led over winding highways on-
ly wide enough in many places
for one car, with towering
rocks on one side and gorges
of unknown depths on the oth-
er, and many beautiful water-
falls. Here on the 4th of July,
children and adults threw snow-
balls. Also visited the Wash-
ington State Building with its
magnificent marble entrance,
dome ceiling and huge chande-
liers. Outside, the sunken gar-
dens, beds of roses and flowers
of every description at their
very best.
Seattle, the largest city in
Washington, is called the city
of "Seven Hills" and is locat-
ed on Puget Sound. To see the
display of lights at night, es-
pecially from the water, is mag-
nificent. The cities of Vancou-
ver and Seattle are alike, in
that a great many of their
homes are of the ranch style
and built with terraced lawns
and beautiful flowers. A most
wonderful holiday was spent,
thanks to kind friends and, rela-
tives, Mrs. Lee reported.
"There goes that blonde
nurse. She's so conceited that
when she takes your pulse she
subtracts five for her person-
ality."
"Now remember, my boy, it
takes hundreds of nuts to hold
this car together, but only one
to scatter it all over "the road."

Cooking,. Hints
Broccoli, brussels sprouts and
cauliflower often contain hid-
den insects. To be sure these
vegetables are free of pests be-
fore you cook them, try this
suggestion from Macdonald In-
stitute, Guelph. Immerse the
clean, prepared vegetable in
salt water for 15 minutes (one
teaspoon salt for every quart of
water). The insects float to the
top of the water and you can
remove them. Then wash the
vegetable thoroughly again and
it's ready to cook.

'Keep a kitchen notebook. Put
a pocket in the back cover to
hold all guarantees and instruc-
tions for your household appli-
ances. If you need to refer to
them, they are right at your
fingertips. Record the date you
purchased the appliance, the
price you paid, and,any repairs
that have been made. Another
section can be 'for household
bills you need to keep for refer-
ence. You'll find your kitchen
notebook invaluable, say home
economists at Macdonald Insti-
tute, Guelph.

For a light, refreshing sum-
mer dessert ,try this idea from
Macdonald Institute, Guelph.
Arrange a variety of fresh fruit
on a large platter. Fresh plums,
watermelon wedges, cantaloupe
balls, cherries, grapes, apricots,
peaches, pears—any or all are
good, in combination or alone.
It's a delightful ending to any
hot -weather meal and an es-
pecially good finale to a sum-
mer cook -out.
Buying radishes? Gree n,
crisp leaves indicate that the
radishes are fresh, says the
Foods and Nutrition Depart-
ment, Macdonald Institute,
Guelph. Inspect the radishes
for cracks and insect damage
too. If the tops have been re-
moved, be sure to check that
the radishes are firm before you
buy them.
Red Spider Mite
fakes Inroads
In the Garden
The red spider or' two -spotted
mite has been causing trouble
for gardeners this sutamer.
These minute spiders' are
pale or reddish colored, with
eight begs. They suck the sap
from the upper and lower our,
faces of the leaves of young,
tender plants of almost every
variety.
Plants which they attack be-
come gray, the foliage takes on
a dried appearance and may
even __die. Sometimes a fine
webbing covers infected parts
of the plant.
The individual mites are so
small that it is difficult to see
them with the naked eye, but
they leave revealing traces.
With a magnifying glass you
can see the whitish skins they
have shed and globular eggs or
egg shells.
Once you know it is the two -
spotted mite that is attacking
the plant, spray with 14 tea-
spoons 50% malathion emulsion
in one gallon of water, or Nye
tablespoons of 15% eremite
wettable in one gallon of water,
suggests Professor W. C. Allan,
entomologist at the Ontario
Agricultural College in Guelph.
Apply this when the spiders
are in evidence.
The red spider spends the
winter in protected places,
among the buds or crowns of
various perennials and weeds.
Then it is ready to attack the
new growth early in the spring.
So clean up the garden. Burn
litter, leaves, weeds and dying
or heavily infested plants.
Do It Yourself
Compost Pile
Home gardeners can make
use of a compost pile. It's a
place for garden refuse and a
good source of fertilizer too.
Food is provided for the
compost • pile by/ . any organic
material. Straw, leaves, garb-
age, manure, grass clippings—
all can be used, if they are
treated properly.
For the average home gar-
dener who doesn't have manure
handy for a compost pile, Pro-
fessor E. H. Garrard of the On-
tario Agricultural College 'sug-
gests this way of making a
home garden compost heap.
First, either dig a hole 4 feet
by 6 feet and about 4 to 6 inch-
es deep, or build a masonry pit
of the same dimensions with
walls 2 feet high. The walled
pit gives the best .results, but it
needs an outlet in one corner
to permit drainage. Start the
compost pile with a 12 -inch lay-
er of straw. This 'keeps the air
circulating and helps absorb
drainage. Start the compost
pile with a 12 -inch layer of
straw. This keeps the air cir-
culating and helps absorb drain-
age. Then lay a layer of sod,
weeds and general refuse to a
depth of 6 inches and pack it
lightly. Water this layer. Add
a high nitrogen fertilizer to aid
in the breakdown. Add 1 to 2
inches of top soil. Build up lay-
ers in this manner, but taper
the pile. In dry weather dish
the top to hold moisture, and
in wet weather round the edge
of the pile so the moisture will
run off. In dry weather, water
the heap periodically—keep it
moist but not soggy.
'Be careful not to pack the
heap too tightly. If it gets too
compact, use a crowbar to
punch a few holes in the cen-
ter of the heap to allow air to
enter.
,To prepare the heap for win-
ter, mulch with straw or leaves.
This prevents it from drying
out and maintains the high tem-
peratures needed for compost-
ing.
Make two piles; one which
has decomposed and can be
used for fertilizer, the other to
put refuse on one year, so it
will be ready for the following
year.
At last! An ideal
companion for ANY type
of washer!
