Many times we have thought we would like an oil-burning furnace instead of coal, but as Partner says — "What would he du without ashes In slippery weather?" Not only for ourselves but for the cows and cars too, Every day Partner goes out with his ash- pail before the truck comes in for the milk, After breakfast he starts out again, spreading ashes for the cows from the barn to the trough, and from the driving shed to where I Gnust walk to back the car out of the plied. He also uses quite a bit of salt, And then, after all his trouble the cows come out to drink and what do they, do? Start fight- ing, no less! Just as I was going for the mail the other day, there were two of the stupid things, heads together, pushing each other around on the ice, slipping and sliding all over the place. Then a few of 'the Others came along and joined in the fray, It reminded me of the scrap at Maple Leaf Gar- dens on Christmas night! I was sure there would be a few brok- en legs between them ,so I did my best to stop the rough-house but not before two of them went down on their knees. However, they managed .to' survive with- out injury. As for me I had my own troubles in trying to keep right-side-up. I put on shoes and rubbers and then pulled heavy woollen socks' over the whole works. What added charm to my attractive foot wear was the fact that one sock was bright blue with red tops • and the other light grey—they were the only ones in my mend- ing basket that didn't 'heed darning. Fortunately no one came along the road when I Was getting the mail from the box! Apart from the ice I had a wonderful time 'last week. Spent nearby` a whole day gathering up old Christnias cards in an- swer 'to the',. appeal for such cards to be, left at Honeydew Restaurants in Toronto. (The time, limit is past now.) Then `Went to work on -a whole lot of papers and magazines for the Bay Scouts. After- awhile We'shall be able to move around at Ginger Farm! * * * Be careful when painting any- thing which has had wax on it. Paint will not adhere to wax and in no time it will peal and chip. Scrub the surface first with soap and water, then give it a good rubbing with turpentine to re- move every trace of wax. If any' gloss still remains, ,..rub it lightly, with fine sandpaper. Be sure the surface is thoroughly dry before you paint. - Plastic Tableware. With Patterns Not so many years ago ,plastic dishes were considered strictly utilitarian—destined for the pic- nic basket or, at best, the break- fast table, Today, MOderri de- sign has carried these Once-hum- ble Cinderellas out of the kitch- en and into the dining room. The latest development in moulded plastic tableware is built-in decoration. This is a great achievement because, un- til now, manufacturers have been able to produce plastic dishes in solid colors only. In china or pottery, the pattern is usually applied* by painting the fired "biscuit" before glazing. The glaze protects the pattern from scratches, though of course it can still chip-off. In plastic tableware, however, dishes are ordinarily moulded under pres- sure in one operation and no glaze is used. The problem then is a design, since design applied on the surface would soon wear away. Only in the last few months has the• difficulty been solved. There are now dishes on the market 'which are adorned with pink roses—roses which took six years to bloom. During all this time an enterprising Canadian manufacturer was experiment- ing with •a method of imprison- ing the rose design, like a leaf in amber, y within the' moulded piece. His persistence brought auccess: A protectivey layer of plastic which the manufacturer used over the flower design is so tough lie claims a piece of sand- paper could be rubbed 75 times over the Surface of a plate with- out harming the design. Wash it under the hot-water tap a thensand times, - punish it with any arnount of, everyday wear- and-tear—the rose stays as bright and fresh as when the plate left the mould.

Tea is an aristocrat —it renises to be rushed—but give it proper yet simple atten- tion and it will give you its best. Not so very long ago a Tea taster in the United States dis- paragingly referred to the in- ability of many American wo- men to boil water! Whilst his remarks were ridiculed, there is some justification for his scath- ing comment! Did you know for example- that boiling water has to reach a temperature of 212 degrees and that the ,perfect cup of Tea is made ',only when fresh water has been brought to a furious bubbly boil? If the teapot isn't heated first; even boiling water will drop as many as 20 degrees after it has, been poured into 'the teapot. You do not get' the full flavour and aroma from.

What heok? It is called, "Doctor Lto the Islands" by Tom and Lydia Davis. The "islands!' being the Cook Is-, ' lands in the South Seas. It is a true narrative giving the ex-, perience of Dr. Davis and his wife during a seven-year stay at Rarotoga, the largest one- in the Cook group of islands, where Dr. ..Davis was appeinted as Medical Officer of Health. It gives striking examples of what happens when man-made in-' tervention upsets, the balance of nature. Por instance there were many large mango and chest- nut trees on the island which were always left standing even ' though younger trees were cut' - down. Tben'in 19.35 along came ,a Government agricultural "ex- pert." He. had previously work- ed in South Africa and was under the impressien that the same" agricultural'principles .should apply to both. countries. So he ordered the huge old trees. to' be cut doWn on the 'ground that great spreading roots Were draining- nontiahinent froth the Soil: The .natives did as• they were tdld although they knew that the tree roots shook ,and moved in the tropical storms, ,loosening the soil better thin a 'Waugh could have done, While thacte frent the'trees gave Shelter to the "lo* crops." The trees Were destroyed -and as a result the crops were alternate- ly bleached by the 'kin and washed out by the rain. Then came the Order to-: prune the Orange trees: That, too;' was a graVe mistake as, according to Davis,Dr. in this region of tropical hurricanes,, nature does her own pinning and the trees "survive, whereas the trees that Were pruned with clippers died Within a feW Weeks. The story Of the island is, of course, fascinating from a. medi- cal standpoint as One felloWs. the hard but successful Strug'- gles- of the young. doctor against ,ignerande, lack of sanitation and witchcraft.
