Daughter and I Were speaking of you the ober day and wondering if you were still around . and where! I noticed the postmark on this letter was• "St. Catharine's" but that doesn't mean Much — letter can be mailed anywhere if one happens to be out for a drive, Speaking of letters, I am glad we don't have Toronto mail service, where even local letters take two days to reach their destination, If Daughter writes me a letter I get, it next morn- ing. If I write her one it takes two days. Just one more sample of the advantage we enjoy by living in the country. I suppose slow mail delivery is one reason why there are so many long distance telephone calls, Such a glorious day and yet the 'probs' speak of rain for to- morrow — that always happens when I have to go to Toronto on business!

We think the proper place for a deg is the lower part but Mac finds the upper floor more to his liking, as from it he can run into the kitchen every time the door is opened. So yesterday Partner and I rigged up a gateway for the top of the stairs so now our friend must stay Where he be- longs — but under protest, Our visit to the Humane So- ciety Kennei was quite interest- ing and it is certainly a busy plape and quite obviously neces- sary and doing good work. There was a variety of dogs — two big white Samoyeds — which most of us think of them as sleigh dogs. Another white dog had been brought in for,ob- servation as it had bitten a child ;another — a collie — was in for observation for biting its owner. There was a beagle hound. and a number of smaller dogsand a three-legged cat with three kittens, one of which she wouldn't feed, There was also a monkey who resented our presence very noisily. Only a few of the dogs were strays. Others, like' Mac, had been brought in, in the hope a new home might be found for them. While we were there a woman came along with a cocker spaniel that was to be destroyed. I asked her what was the matter with it, "Oh ' nothing," she an- swered. "A friend left it with me and I don't want it." As she spoke, the poor little thing, al- ready shut up in a cage, looked up at us with its big brown pleading eyes. I didnt know how she had the heart to leave it, In another cage there was a beautiful golden retriever puppy which had evidently got itself lost. The caretaker was quite sure the owner would claim it before very long, Well, the country really has a spring-like appearance at last, - although from the amount of mud there is around you might wonder if the ground will ever dry up. The Orioles are back, singing and swinging from the elm trees, and the meadow larks are flitting from fence to fence. And we had our first dish of rhubarb today. Oh yes, and our mysterious friend "Mr. X" has turned up again! He wants to know if there are any more grandchildren who might like Young Apprentice Aboard Ship want pi* said. "Come on here, These two staunchions will be your job; you'll have to polish them each morning, Have you ever 1)011S11" ed toa;1.1 ktngelljeern ,? " "You do it with this fine sand- paperl which we keep here; and remember, sand-paper can b. used until it rubs to dust, Heave around on these staunchions, now, and let's see how bright yOul ,can make them." The two staunchions were the steel staunchions just forward of the after-capstan. To clean them, had to stand on the grating; it was at this point that I began to understand what a miracle the ship was, I was standing on a grating, a work of art, such as. I had never- seen. How had men cut and fitted hard white wood so exquisitely into this lattice? The coamings round the grating, supporting it, were other mir- acles; but nothing to the as- teunding deck. I began now to appreciate the deck; it was of a darkish wood; and all the deck was laid with it. It was of a hardness which I had never thought wood could have. "Looking at the deck?" Dick said. "TVs African oak. When it is wet tomorrow, you can take off your shoes and stockings and slide on it barefoot; it is quite impossible for you to get a splin- ter. Now, heave round." He had given me a tin contain- ing sand-paper, rags, and a sort of brick; I took some sand-paper and began upon a staunchion. Round the brow and the ankle of this steel shaft were plaits of dark cord, which seemed to have neither beginning nor end; certainly, I had joined a miracu- lous world. . . . I worked at my staunchion, which did not become much brighter, because I was so thrill- ed by all that I saw. . . . "Come, Come. That isn't the way to make a staunchion bright," Dick said. "Just watch me for a moment." Certainly, his method made the steel like silver; I found that I could do it, and that it was great fun. "Those will be your staun- chions, every morning," Dick said. "Now get a bucket from the manger, fill it at the gangway and don't fall in and drown your- self." I did his bidding, and learned a good deal by it; that buckets can have rope handles with fascinating knots on them, that a tide may fill a bucket with a surprising rush, and that when full of water it can seem very heavy to a little boy's arms, and that what slops over will drown his shoes. — From "New Chum," by John Masefield.

We were married five years ago, and have a won- derful son. Until a year ago we got along beautifnely, but then he started liatening to his mother's complaints about me and he has been impossible to live with ever since. We quar- relled harshly, and I could do nothing that pleased him. His family, by the way, never really welcomed me, and relations with Them have been strained all through our married life. "Despite all this I still love my husband. I know he loves the boy who needs, a, father, too, He sends me no money except the small sum government allot- ment, and for the past couple of months he has not written me at all, though I send him mail regularly, "I've been writing to another soldier whom I knew before I met my husband, He has grewn fond of me and my son, but I have told him I intend to stick to my husband as long as I can, "What shall I do? Fight the divorce (my husband has no true grounds), or let him have his freedom? Shall I tell the other man to forget me? He is a fine person, and my son gets along awfully well with him. I am only 24, I can't tell my par- ents; they are old, and I don't want to worry them. I do need help.

Above all, the Sherpa can laugh. His sense of humor is broad and quick. He is cheerful by nature (being Mongolian) and that is a great help in mountaineering where conditions are so often uncom- fortable. The Sherpas are indeed the happiest people I have ever met. Time means nothing to them. In this they are more' extreme than the Scottish west highlander, who says that when God made time he made plenty of To the Sherpa time does not seem to exist. — From "The Story of Everest," by W. H. Mur- ray. Zoo Parade ! ft. Barclay Warren, B.A.. B.D. HE'S A HERO — "G.I. Joe," an Army pigeon has been awarded a service station citation as an "outstanding hero of World War II." The pigeon saved 1000 Bri- tish troops from possible anni- hilation at Colvin, Italy, by fly- ing a message to them warning of an impending bombing. Real Hllialail Are These Sherpas Hezekiah Attempts Reconciliation 2 Chronicles 30: 1, 6-13 --- Memory Selection: The Lord your God is gracious and merci- fuly -and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him. 2 Chronicles 30:9. ' A sticker on some cars reads, "The family that prays together holds together." The family altar is unknown in most homes. What a pity! Quarrelling and bickering have no place in a home where the family prays to- gether. If there arises a differ- ence of opinion, prayer will help to solve the problem. A husband and wife are on the verge of quarrelling should say something like this: "Let's not be foolish. We took each other for better or worse. The Bible says, 'What therefore God hath joined together let not man put asunder.' Now let us start reading the Bible every day and praying together. We've both made mistakes. In sinning against each other we have sin- ned against God. Let us turn from our sins,and ask God's for- giveness. Then it'll be natural to forgive each other." The genie method will work in the larger circle, too. Heze- kiah realized this and applied it to obtaining a reconciliation with the northern kingdom with whom his predecessor had been fighting. He invited them to come to Jerusalem and keep the feast of the passover. Some of those who received the invitation laughed in scorn. But others humbled thhemselves and came. There was great joy in Jerusalem. "Then the priests, the Levites, arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling p 1 a c e, even unto heaven." If we want our tensions re- lieved let us Win to God. I am really tired — tuckered out, exhausted — and a dozen more adjectives might well be applied. And the reason -- dogs and cats. Or to be more specific, one five-months-old puppy and two full grown cats. Our recent dogless state be-. came less and less to our lik- ing so last Wednesday •a friend and I went down to Oakville to the Humane Society to see what they had in the line of waifs and strays. HoneStly, it , is a wonder I didn't come home with six dogs ,— there were so many that were appealing and needed a home. However, 'my choice. was finally narrowed down to a stray black and white collie, probably about two years old, and a five-months pup, three parts , German „Shepherd and one part collie \who had been sent in to be sold, because the owner had another dog that was frightfully jealons, The col- lie was „a lovely dog but as he was a stray the caretaker had no knoWledge of his past. history and was afraid he might Stay with us for awhile and then wander away again.

CI 'what a brave thing it is, in every case and circumstance Metter. to be thoroughly Weil infot Med I iSSAIt, 20 t965 From the Sherpa people Is drawn the corps of porters .whose work in all ports of the Himalaya has commanded the utmost respect and admiration of mountaineers of all nations. Many Sherpas who have become professional mountain porters now live permanently in Dar- jeeling, which is only ten Marches from their home coun- try of Sola Khombu. In stature they are about five feet six inches, deep but not broad chest- ed, the neck and shoulders well muscled but the arms not. They carry loads on a head-band wh possible rather than the shoulders, The hair, is dark and worn at the back in a pig- tail, although the Darjeeling Sherpas have now taken to cut- ting the hair short, Their' skin is a pale brown, not dark; in that respect many of them can- not be distinguished from a South European. They wear a toga like upper garment and trousers of home-woven wool, and on the feet long Tibetan boots of dull red cloth, soled with hide, which come up al- ni,ost to the knees. Even in high camps the first thing I have often heard in the Morning is the chanting of prayers from the Sherpas' tents.. . The Sherpa people are semi- nomadic, The different families have houses at different levels in different Villages, and move Up and down according to the needs of seasonal crops and grazing It will thus be seen that they get much practice in Ad- ciirriatizing. Their bodies in con- sequence adapt themselves to high altitude much faster than a European's. For such various reasons the Sherpa' performs better than the other ,hillmeti, who live lower.
