The answer is, on'l'y those who have adopted the philos- ophy of the communist And the faecist—that the end justifies the means. The Queen .has nothing to do with imperialism or colonialism or any of the other "isms" that Qu'ebe'c is belatedly .excited about, , after sitting complacent under a dictator, and a corrupt one, for years, e I hereby announce that if anybody takes a potshot at the Queen when she visits Quebec, I will personally call up a crowd of old fighter pilots and march on that province.

Deep-Seated Urge It's nice 'to have 4t,"4 waS, leeey'e weak .defense, Now it should be explained, that Lucy .started this pro:. gram of planting fruit trees when she was quite yoteig. At her former home on Main,street a previous owner had cut down good fruit trees and .04000! e row of wild Plums (at least she was told that and since there wa evidence of the wild plums, she believed it to be true). Deeermirettlen Won Out • Lucy wanted cherries, pears, peaches—and plums like the one on the old tree on the front lawn, which fell prey to a Wirelstorne• She appealed to her father'' but he was not interested. So, as soon as she'd saved a little money, growing and selling tomato plants, Lucy ordered some nursery stock and took matters into her own hands! She got the spade and an axe an'd went to work on the wild plum trees. Her father deploredtbe fact that 'she was spending her money foolishly, and 'that 'there'd be no wild plums for jam or marmalade! But by dint of much back- breaking work she finally gat that row of wild pin= between the vegetable garden and tennis lawn whacked out. Lucy deg down two feet to cut the roots, salting them well to discourage any subsequent growth. And if you've ever dug out a wild red plum, you'll know that the roots are larger than the trunk of the tree. Did The One Step Lucy's mother was afraid that she's cut her foot with the axe, (The only time she made a mess with it was on "another occasion when she was using the back of 'the axe head to drive 'in a cedar post for the tennis net. Up over her shoulder she swung the axe and brought it down With all her strength—it missed the post and hit her shin instead. For some minutes she hopped 'around the tennis court on the double quick! When Lucy paused long enough to look down, she dis- cerned a lump about the 'eize of a ben's egg—a small egg that is. And a faint mark of the back of the axe is still to be seen on her shin to-day. But to get back to the fruit trees: of two pears, a peach , and a cherry which replaced the wild plums, only a Clapp's Favourite pear remains, And of 'two other peach trees, plums and apple trees set .out correctly in other spots in the garden and given tender care over forty odd years ago, only a black cherry remains, Few Survived Trees are like people, Lucy decided. If the soil isn't good, they aren't happy, don't thrive and often pine away in unsuitable surroundings; and there are so many 'insects and viruses to make a tree ill, to say nothing of small animals like mice and moles to cut off their supply of nourishment and rabbit§ 'to nibble off their branches. Lucy bad named variety peaches, Elberta, Fitzgerald and St. John, but all had to be cut out in a short time suffering from various diseases. Thereafter 'Lucy scorned nursery stock in peaches and transplanted seedlings. True, some had to be cut out, too, but on the whole 'they were more hardy. And in the com- paratively short lifetime of a peach •tree, they bore good fruit for home consumption. Resolution To The Winds When Lucy and her mother returned to "The Hut" in 1946, Lucy resolved not to plant too close to the house nor have too many trees. Alas, the resolution went to the four winds! The place begins to look like a forest. As a small child living on Main Street, Lucy recalls an old plum tree on the front lawn which bore very large blue freestone fruit, with fine-grained yellow flesh. It ripened in August and Lucy's mother canned them in halves like peaches, In recollection, they seemed almost as large. One day members of the Rutledge family who 'had built the house called, In looking around, they paused to reminisce under the old plum tree. Lucy's father asked its name and was told: "Victoria." Disappointed Again Lucy remembered this, and through a woman's column in a Toronto daily newspaper, she learned that they could be obtained from a nursery in Victoria, B.C. She obtained several of the trees. Being no longer able to dig herself, she had one planted in the garden at "The Hut", and gave the others to friends. Alas! She was doomed 'to disappointment. They were merely eating plums. And if they were "Victoria", then the' one planted in the old garden nigh onto a hundred years ago, certainly wasn't! Still Not Eight! The modern Victoria 'tree died one cold frosty winter, as did some others of its strain, and Lucy did not mourn its loss. Then she ordered one from a nursery agent. He was sure it was the variety Lucy wished, and certainly the coloured illustration in his book looked like it, This tree bears nice, large, juicy clingstone plums which are delicious to eat raw, but so sour when preserved that no amount of sugar will keep them from puckering one's mouth! Ah well! One of these days it may decide it has lived long enough and then perhaps some nursery firm will come up with a( duplicate of the good old plum enjoyed in -Lucy's childhood. Two Felines Okay Too bad the old tree was blown over forty-five years ago before Lucy became interested in grafting! In the mean- time two German prunes growing from pits were planted for her by a friend, and they supply fruit for canning, but of a different flavour. Then, too, Lucy has elways wished for a winter pear, but repeated efforts to get one, to grow have not been sticcess- ful. Lucy's surname was Weeds. Perhaps the genes have followed down from some ancestor who set out trees in Normandy back in the cave man daYsl None In The Garden hue while Lucy hat nothing else to do but dream of "sticking in a 'tree," her spouse finds plenty to keep him busy. And ha 'absolutely refuses to crowd trees,into a hedge, er or plant one where it will take from the size o the vegetable garden.
