TULIP TIME IN CANADA’S CAPITAL — With its 30 miles of government maintained driveways dotted with color­ ful tulip beds every spring, Ottawa is fast becoming known as the “Tulip Capital”. The city’s annual crop of brillance and color is the gift of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands in return for hospitality she and her family received in Ottawa during the war. Like her 20,000 “subjects”, Christine Mac­ Millan, seen above, who reigns as Queen of the Civil Serv­ ice for 1952, watches for the tulips to come up, a true sign that spring has come to stay in the capital. —C.P.C.

Ottawa Trip Thursday morning saw Us- borne School senior pupils get­ ting- on busses for a long an­ ticipated trip to the nation’s capitol. They have saved their sheckles for a whole year to make the trip possible. It's no small jaunt from here to Ottawa and there will be many tired children by the time the three days are over. The idea is one which most of us would think impossible to carry out, but the enthusiasm of the chil­ dren makes up for any doubt that might be in.the minds of on-lookers. And memories for years to the minds of those who are tak­ ing the trip will surely make up for any small hardships the chil­ dren may have to put up with in order to make the visit. An essay contest conducted by this paper will give readers a good idea of just what the pupils gained by the trip. The Pantry CANNING RHUBARB Cold Pack Method Wash, cut rhubarib in half-inch pieces.
