Lois Ann graciously thanked everyone and invited them to her trousseau. - 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."

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." Vii "l"Q .OF THE.

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. * . 9, '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. 4: r 9: 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!
