HORTICULTURE As we write this article the weath­ er is anything but spring-like, it Is mjt the kind of weather that would induce one to think of planting a garden or sowing a field. But there are many who are thinking of the work that will pome after winter’s back is broken and the sun is sending its life-giving pays to what has been planted in the Soil. It is this forethought on the part Of the agriculturist that eventually supplies food for those who do not grow their own necessities. It is this forethought that makes for more beautiful gardens in cities, towns and throughout our countryside. The de­ velopment of horticulture in this last number of years has been great. It should continue to expand. In Wing­ ham. there is a very easy method by which one can keep up an interest in: beautification and that is by being a member of the Horticultural Society. The society has already announced its list of attractive premiums, This soc­ iety also carried on other work that is a credit to Whigham, Each year they do more work at the Horticul­ tural Park and in a. few years this cor­ ner will be a real -beauty spot.

HEALTH INSURANCE About two years ago we .his column about a large the United States who had society for health insurance pitalfoatiom At that time we told of the cost and how it was working out. Each member paid in so much a •nonth and for this he or she received free medical treatment and hospital treatment and certain other services. The plan appeared a very good one, bdt it does not by any means take care of the numbers of people that it should. The reason for this is many people could not afford to the necessary fees. It is almost possible for people of ordinary cumstances to budget .for a big sick­ ness. Last week, we heard of a man •who has been sick for a matter of three months, and all that he had sav­ ed during his lifetime and a great deal more was required to meet the bills that accumulated from his sickness. The doctors gave this man all the care and attention that was possible, his attention was the best and probably wilt continue to be though his savings are gone. The point is, that few can make provision for a serious illness and to protect the public, the hospitals and the doctors, some plan to meet this emergency will have to be form­ ulated, ’ (message from mars ’ The Germans flew over Scape Flow j and dropped bombs. They did not do i a great deal of damage. The loss by ■’ | means of the bombs was not' of suffic- 9‘ j lent amount to cause worry. But the ! Germans had killed two civilians and j had carried out a raid that was against I a place the British hold with very: | high regard, a naVal base. The reac-- 1 tiern was about what would be expect- i j cd. What ate vre going to do about. it ? That was the question and it was' | promptly answered. The Royal Air: * Force flew over Sylt and instead c t dropping leaflets they dropped bombs j and the result was not only much j .j damage to German property but also' ? a great uplift in the British morale. - | Many arc very apt, in tact, do criticize- : the powers that be, for not prosecut-. < ing the war with greater speed, and a: I raid such as the one on Sylt is very ■ j reassuring to them. It'may be with,' | the coming of better weather the war' effort will intensify, but one must re- member that when this'* happens the list of those wounded and lulled will be increased many fold. To give ad­ vice is a very easy thing to do but to give good advice is sometimes very difficult. We believe that advice on whether the war should be fought with greater vigor or not is a very difficult thing to do. We in w hum­ ble wav. advise, people not to get into a panic but to leave the criticism of the war effort unsaid for a time at least so that those who know all the circumstances may give their best to this task.

(By Betty Rae) The huge twin-motors of the gigan­ tic trans-Atlantic Clipper roared son­ orously as the great ship soared over the mountainous regions of the west­ ern coast of Bonnie Scotland.
