Partner has a pair. of "Creep-
ers" that he keeps for just such
an emergency, Without them
thew are times when he would
hardly be able to get up the
hill from the barn, even with
the help of ashes. 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

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.

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'
