One family he digs for will live in a unit of a housing project for which he is excavating the foundation. The other family is his own - and includes four children. He is a good "digger" for dollars and his wife manages them well. So their family expenditures are kept in line with the family paycheque, Public works cover a lot of ground. The budget of the Minister of Public Works at Ottawa is in the millions of dollars . . . and his department is only one of many. Money for all departments of government comes through the Minister of Finance who gets it largely in taxes from Canadians such as you. When more money is spent than is collected in taxes, government must borrow from you . . . or else create new money. The creation of new money is one factor that leads to inflation . . which means your dollar buys less and less. The government has been Spending more than you have been paying in taxes. To narrow the gap between income and expenditures, new taxes have been imposed. The next step should be to reduce expenditures, or at least hold the line. Undertaking new commitments - adding new welfare or other services - will only make it that much more difficult to pay our way. Tell your M.P. at Ottawa that since you are trying to save, you expect government to do the same. You also help when you save more by means of life insurance, savings deposits, and the purchase of govern- ment bonds. Your savings help to create a SOUND dollar; and this, in turn, helps to create job security for you and more jobi for other Canadians.

On a particular morn- ing in late July, when the then, ammeter seemed eternally stuck at 90 degrees Fahrenheit, his black hair stood up like millions of tiny enamelled steel coils as he heaved and pushed, shoved and hauled my latest love, a new electric refrig- erator, "It's no use, boss, she just won't go," he finally confessed, wiping the sweat from his brow, When I was in Vancouver this past summer, on one of the sev- eral delightful jaunts I made across Canada by train, I visited a friend who had just purchased a new refrigerator. She was en- thralled by its automatic defrost- ing equipment and its separate freezing compartment. I put up absolutely no resistance to my mental argument that this cooler was just the thing for a dedicated vagabond. I reasoned that I could confidently leave any such house- hold blessing for weeks without a worry in the world that its in- ternal mechanism would go phoot, because there was no one around to befrost the baby. So what did I do? I bought the same model from an appliance ag- ency, sight unseen. Like most wo- men, I failed to take into consid- eration that the monster might not fit into my little pullman kitchen, or for that matter, even through the kitchen door, where every inch had been gained, for more counter space. There we were, I on the kitchen side of the door trying to direct the operation, the coloured gentle- man stuck between the door-jamb and the refrigerator, and on the other side, straining and cussing in Hungarian, the boss man. I with- ered when he looked at me and, in his broken accent, asked if I had measured the space where I expected the refrigerator to fit. "Yes", I replied in a weak little voice, but I confessed I hadn't ev- en thought of the doorway being too narrow, These deliverymen don't fool. The Hungarian picked up the straps used for 'lifting any such great weight and banged the door behind him as he left the house, Not so the young coloured lad. He obviously felt sorry that the only home the refrigerator could find was the middle of the dining room floor and started pulling off the sticky tape that held the doors shut while the machine was in transit. "Look lady, if you was to call the company, they'll send up a serviceman to take off the door. Then you can get this here box in- to your kitchen," he said as he 4411/11soys opRENNIESROIMEMEMM•sevall.01 OLD HAN WINTER IS.., ON WS WAY !

Fortunately, on my list of rescu- ers I have a sympathetic Norweg- ian carpenter who has the patience and imagination to deliver me out of these tight spots in which I so often find myself, Two weeks later and with $500 less in the bank, I saw the refrig- erator installed in the kitchen. But the process was a protracted evolu- tion from a tiny apartment-type kitchen to a wonderful country one with copper pot lids hanging by the stove, a cookie jar in bold evidence where my grandchildren and neighbourhood youngsters can reach it and a stool to perch on, where I can peel, for jelly and ap- ple butter, the apples as they fall from the trees in our garden. None of this had been possible in the little two-by-four kitchenette. There probably is a, moral to this story, but I don't know ex- actly what it is. I have found that most distressing situations of- ten"turn out to good advantage. I either uncover some new type of human kindness and sympathy, such as that coloured boy display- ed, or I learn a lesson in tolerance which is the chief characteristic of my carpenter, Certainly any build- er who can understand my gesticu- lations as I wave my hands around and say, "I want a drawer there for the bread and a shelf over in that corner for the copper mugs," needs a great deal of tolerance. 0 MacLean-Bakker White chrysanthemums graced the Christian.

Huron Farmers At Shorthorn Sale Get Top Prices Top price at the Shorthorn "off the grass" sale at Singhampton, $410.00, went to Thomas Webster, Auburn, for a beautiful two-year- old heifer kith her 10-day-old-calf. Other Huron County consignors were: A. C. Gaunt, Lucknow; Mc- Kinley Farm & Hatchery, Zurich; Roy Pepper, Seaforth, and Harold Pepper, Seaforth. First of its kind in the province, this sale was sponsored by the Ontario Shorthorn. Club and was organized for dual reasons: first, to bring together a volume of strong, sound females to meet the existing demand, and secondly, to provide a market for the smaller breeders. In both respects, the sale seems to have fufilled its mission. On Friday night the patrols (consisting of seven to eight boys) marched in, had their site assigned, and set up their tents. Darkness set in swiftly so after the neces- sary items such as fireplace, frig., etc. were built, they turned in, Rising at 6:30, breakfast was cooked and eaten and the pots were cleaned. Gadgets were also started before flag break at nine, then the patrols were dismissed to their campsites where they were to complete as many gadgets as possible and prepare dinner. Dishes were washed up swiftly, for merit tests were being held in the afternoon. These •were on trees and shrubs, signalling, fire- fighting, first aid, and compass, This finished around 4.30 p.m. During the entire day the weath- er was dismal with occasional showers, but spirits were not dampened and camp life was full of activity. After supper was over, the Scouts set to improving their areas and as the weather was not suitable for a campfire, a mug-up was held at each site. Not long after, the boys snuggled down in- to their sleeping bags for there was a strong wind and it was very cold.
