For that short jaunt bom© to the barn, mad© hund­ reds of times in past years, will be a milestone jn his life. It will be made on a pair of artificial legs, through the generosity of liis ■ friends and placing his own operations. Amputation of bitter blow to anyone, but to energetic French-descended Louis Durand it was especially hard. His life had 'been an act­ ive one, plowing, seeding, har­ vesting and cultivating his Lake Huron Shore farm. Now he’ sits in. his wheel chair, gnarled hands on his leg stumps, and watches spring bring life to his laud. Started With Pneumonia A bout with pneumonia start­ ed his trouble after a life free of sickness. Circulation trouble developed in his legs and turned to .phlebitis. In Clinton Hospital, ’on August 17, 1948, Mr, Durand had one leg amputated. He re­ turned home and started to learn the ruse o'f crutches. Then his other leg became af­ fected, and last February removed. “But I’m 'going to again," Mr. Durand says across the TOQ-acre the out- before in living on from liis neighbors, re­ lost in five both legs is a but to it was ,rruiE- Muskoka Lakes are famous X for scenery and climate.

Meanwhile, his son, Philip, is running the farm and there is little to worry Mr.' Durand on this score. But when the trees are bud­ ding aud the new ,turf turning behind the plow, it’s hard to be tied to a wheel chair beside a window. “It makes a fellow feel pretty helpless," he said. “But I’ll be walking again before the grain’s ripe?’ He knows it will be a hard road back, but he’s ready foi* the test and already is pre­ paring his stumps for the new legs. “How can I .fail with all my friends wishing me back on my feet,” lie smiled. “I’ll have a lot of visiting to do, won’t I?” JM-.-—■?■■"■ ■■ .,,,,,,, , The Station bowling season has drawn to a successful close with the. “Sparkies", last year's champions, repeating as Station Winners.

Lawn Don’t clip .the garden too short, Many people endless (trouble in the fertilizing top-dressing and roll­ ing their lawn only to .offset much of the good they do at that 'time, by mowing it too close all through the, summer. The shorter the leaves, the more the grass will be exposed to the burning summer sun; the more fertiliser and water will be re­ quired; and the easier it will be for weeds to encroach. The cutting bar of the lawn mower should never be set low­ er than or 2 inches from the ground, except with creeping bent grasses, which are seldom used on garden .lawns. Mowing Should be frequent, so that clip­ pings may be left on the lawn where they form a good .source of rich nutriment. If the grass has (grown too long, however, the clippings must be raked .off, as if they lie on the lawn they tend to smother the grass roots and causb .dead patches to ap­ pear. Watering is valuable during the hot summer months. A good soaking once a .week is more use than a light sprinkling every other night. Watering should be continued until the soil is thor­ oughly moistened to ,a depth of foul' inches. EXETER • ONTARIO Distributors for Canada « of . . . . on .Friday to Miss of Toronto.

Harris, Mitchell Thomas Scott, Cromarty Secretary-Treasurer Arthur Fraser, Exeter, Solicitors Glad man & Cochrane, Exeter Not long ago an Ontario youth shot and killed a man for which he was given a long sentence. He might well have been ex­ ecuted for the act was unpro­ voked. At his trial his parents were puzzled and bewildered. To newspaper reprters the .father said: “We never got to know him. After meals he would go out at once and there was no­ thing we could do about it.” Evidently he didn’t enjoy be­ ing at home, -and that may not have been his parents fault. He found his pleasures elsewhere and seemed to his own people almost like a stranger. There is no single aud complete answer to youth delinquency but un­ doubtedly home atmosphere has a good .deal to do with it. The famous Scottish writer, Dr. John Watson, better known as Ian MacLaren, once said that he had never known trouble to 4 break out in any family where father and mother teased and “jollied”, the children; where there was good-natured banter, and fun. Homes vary a great deal and (nowhere more than in the mat­ ter of social atmosphere. You feel aS soon ,as you enter some homes that the folks are on good terms with each other. They may poke fun. at one an­ other 'but there is no mistaking their loyalty and ^devotion, The day may come when tile boys and girls establish new house­ holds; they may be scattered over the whole continent or even divided by oceans but that Won’t make much difference. They are so united and knit together In spirit that they will jshure each others joys and sorrows While life lasts. It is a privilege add a blessing to belong to .such a family and when, the boys and girls become meh and women, they have memories which con­ stitute infinitely more -than ahy heritage or money. In the creation of home atmos­ phere the influence Of the par­ ents comes first. .Whatever de­ fects they display are bound to upset the youngster and spoil the music. John Ruskin one of the deepest thinkers of the last century —* never forgot what he owed to his home. In counting the blessings of his childhood lie said..that certain things stood Out. He learned the meaning of peace. He never once heard his father’s or mother’s voice raised in any dispute, nor ha d he ever seen an angry glance or disorder of any kind. Later on, when he became a man,she .knew that angry, bitter words, and loud voices did not settle anything but rather did incalculable mischief.- A school teacher I know, .was greatly distressed because of the bad behaviour of two children— a brother and sister — in ;her class. They didn’t know the meaning 'of the word obedience and they thought it smart to defy her and frustrate her ef­ forts to 'teach. She decided to call on their parents .and discuss the matter. “One enough," she said, • blamed the children, man ,and his wife. visit was 'I no longer I found the , . everything that parents should not be: quarrelsome, deceitful and very profane, even in the presence of their children." We hope the percentage of such parents is not large. Most of them are doing all they can to help the youngsters and to give them good ideals of .living. There are thousands of men and Women living in this land to-day who went out into the -world, carrying yety little money with them but having in their pos­ session something of vastly more value; the memory of sacrifice and devotion by parents who could give them -little else. The essayist, Thomas Carlyle, was not given to maudlin senti­ ment but he could pot speak of I hi’s Scottish mother without emotion. She could not road a line when >he was a boy but when aver seventy she learned to read so that she might cor­ respond with .him, Years after her* death, Carlyle wrote these lines about li e r: “Oh, pious mother, as kind, good, brave and truthful a ybur poor very lonely you?’ Nol This delinquency , . and settle. It is p, dood deal of a headache and a heartache. But bomb atmospherej such as Rusk­ in and Carlyle remembered and as millions -of obscure people re­ call, is probably the best of all correctives. Oiie of the lovliest stories in the Bible is that of Ruth’s de­ votion to her mother-in-law, Naomi, with whom she had lived and loved: “Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest, I Will go, and Where thou lodgest, I Will lodge. Thy people shall .be my people, and thy God my God. Where thou diest, I will die and there I will be burled." t To-days quotation Is by Dr. Thomas Chalmers: “The essent­ ials to happiness are: something to do, something ,to love and something to hope for?’ . Just before payday you ve probably looked at what’s left of your wages or housekeep­ ing money and said: "Where does the money go?" A company must ask itself the same question, and each year pro­ vides the answer in its annual report. The dollars we received last year—for gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil and other products—went this way: Crude Oil and. other raw materials we needed to make the products took the first big slice. Depending on where you live your oil may have come from Arabia, from South America, or from deep in the United States. In Canada only Alberta produced crude in quantity. Manufacturing and packaging came next—complex and intricate refining op­ erations are needed to make the hundreds of oil products which find thousands of uses in our homes and industries, on our highways, in the air and on the sea. Marketing was fourth.. Marketing pro­ vides the products you need wherever you are—power, heat Ond lubricants for factory, farm and home. Marketing sup­ plies mat local businessman, the dealer; and if you're a fuel oil user, keeps oil in your tank! Taxes to provincial and federal govern­ ments absorbed 7.06 cents. And this does not include gasoline tax, which—depend­ ing on where you. live—takes from 22 to 35 cents out of every dollar you spend for standard grade gasoline. Profit was 4.9 cents out of each Sales dollar. From this we paid three cents to shareholdersasdividends.Therestwas'used —together With a lot more money we bor­ rowed and Still mote obtained by Sales of investments*—to help meet your increasing needs for oil! ♦»
