Seen Be Iline
All things must end sotnes
time, even this, in many parts of
Canada, t h e coldest winter in
three-quarters of a century. Very
Shortly now we can expect to
limber up muscles and get out
into the sunshine and the\ gar-
den, But before we take up the
rake, there is a pleasant inter-
lude before the fire with a good
seed catalogue and perhaps a
pencil and a sheet or two of
paper.
Planning a garden, of course,
is not absolutely necessary. Some
lucky people, with a particular-
ly green thumb, perhaps can get
along without any planning at
all, But for the average persons,
some planning ahead is recom-
mended by the experts and this
preliminary planning can be a
very pleasant way of putting in
the time. It will also, repay many
times in a much better garden,
more beautiful, and more use-
ful and one that requires much
less effort.
Keep It Simple
Only an expert should attempt
a formal garden and most of the
experts are too wise to try. Stiff
rows and square beds, under very
rare conditions, may make an
impressive show but if carried
out in the small home garden,
at best, they look awkward and
out of place. It is far better to
have the garden lay-out simple
and informal with clumps rather
than straight rows, a n d wavy
edged beds with lots of variety.
For the centre and fore-
ground nothing is better than a
good lawn. On city lots this may
only be a few square yards. The
grass however sets off the whole
layout and it 'should lead up to
the flower garden with possibly
shrubs or trees or a vine-covered
trellis or .f ence in the back- ,
ground, or as a division between
say a kitchen garden plot at the
rear,
Shrubs and flower borders may
be used to line driveways and
fences. Against the house tiself,
but at least a foot or so in front,
one can plant groups of shrubs
or taller flowers, A winding path,
disapearing behind shrubbery or
trees, will add attraction.
In the flower garden or border
the informal or clump planting is
continued. Rather than setting
out in rigid rows, one should
plant groups of various flowers
with the little things like alys-
sum, dwarf nasturtiums, lobelias
and so "n, in front, taller zin-
nias, petunias, asters towards
the centre and really tall flowers
such as cosmos, hollyhocks, mari-
golds and delphiniums at the
rear,
Tough Ones First
Most conveniently growing
things in Canada divide them,
selves into three main groups.
There are the hardy types that
cannot be planted too early, pro-
vided of course, the ion is ready
and fit to work. These are not
afraid of frost. Next come the
biggest group of all, the semi-
hardy. 'They will stand a little
frost but they do not like it and
it is best not to sow or set out
until we are almost certain that
spring has really arrived. In the
third category are the softies,
plants, seeds, roots or bulbs that
will not stand frost at all. Noth-
ing is gained by putting these
things in the grOund until the
soil is really warm and summer
is just around the cerner.
At this season, of course, we
need concern ourselves only with
the first and extremely hardy
group of plantings, In the wann-
er parts of Canada we can plant
these before the ,end of March,
Of course we must wait Until the
frost is out and the mud has
dried up reasonably. It never
does to start Working soil in any
case while it is still soggy and
liable to pack down tight.

The lake lies in the • heart of

men venture .because of 20-foot
pythons, 116ns, giant-sized
scorpions and a thousand other
forms of death,
When the eminent Professor
Harry Burnside learned, that.
the lake had a reputation for.
refusing to give up any of its
water for analysis, he set out
with two essietants to disprove
the theory.
'They had to find their ow.n.

land to the lake because no na-
tives would accompany them
for fear of reprisal from the.
evil spirit of 'the lake.

THE SAME NIGHT, MILES

They returned and filled more
bottles, but on the way home
the water mysteriously evapor-
ated from the careful stopper-
ed bottles. There was no ex-
planation for it.
Once more they returned.
This time Burnside tested the
water for poisons but .could find
no impurity so he drank some,
again filled some bottles and
drove back home. By the time
he reached Pretoria the bottles
were bone dry.
Two days later Blirnside went
sick from a mysterious stomach
ailment.. No doctor could help
because they couldn't find
out what was causing his ill-
ness.
He died in agony, but at 'the
autopsy no unnatural 'cause of
death could be . found. There

The biggest and in many ways
the most important crop in the
world is grass,
About two-thirds of the world's
farmland is under grass, and the
roots of this massive crop are,
literally the grass roots of the
world's main food supply and a
major means for overcoming its
hunger. • * *
According to Lord Boyd-Orr,
first director general of the Unit-
ed Nations Food and Agricultur-
al Organization, it would take
$12,000,000,000 to relieve hunger
in the, world, In •nonfinancial
terms this means there is no real
international food surplus des-
pite reports from ,time to time'
of grain "surpluses" in some .s
countries, * *
"The future depends," said
Lord Boyd-Orr, "upon whether
the rulers of the world can have •
sufficient sense to get together to
apply great scientific powers to
relieve hunger,"
Apart from the purely politi-
cal field, these powers are al-
ready being applied to the pro-
duction problem, and possibly
nowhere more interestingly or

more hopefully than in. Australia,
a continent with a definitely
large yet not fully developed
food potential. *
One of the most notable ad-
vances on the world grassland
front was made recently by a
young university student work-
ing in Australia. Actually, Ray
Marquez hails from the Philip-
pines and went to Australia on
a United Nations Educational,
Social and Cultural Organization
scholarship under the Colombo
Plan. *
In association :with the dean.
of the faculty of agriculture in
the University.Of Sydney and an
associate professor, Mr. Martinez
became deeply interested in the
problem of fs a two-million-acre
wasteland in Midwest N e w
South Wales, the Pilliga Scrub
country, where a, handful of
tough battlers defied the wilder-
ness and the soil deficiencies
which were its chief weapons.
• *
With the cooperation of some
Of these pioneers, Mr. Marquez
went to work on the problem.
He faced a light, highly acid soil,
acutely deficient in nitrogen and
phosphate and comprising some-
times 89 per cent sand. Some
people called it "desert,"
* *
Working steadily, Mr. Marquez
devised a grass development
technique which produced what
the locals termed "startling" re-
sults, He had achieved what was
thought to be impossible, that is,
to induce legtiminetts grasses to
grow in this highly inhospitable
soil environment, But grow they
did, to the keen delight of his
university. • *
The grateful farmers took
round the hat and presented Mr.
Marquez With a sliver tray arid
a cash gift as a sigh of their

When Patrick McMurty, a
young Irishman, joined the
pOlibe force in the district and
learned about the lake, he de-
« tided to photograph it and to
send some pictures home.
He was accompanied by a
youth, and neither was ever
seen again after• they set out
to walk to the lake sevenemiles
from where they were , farced
to park their car, .
Another odd thing is that
Lake , Fundudzi is fed by the
Mutali and, other rivers at • the
rate of 3,000,000 gallons of wat-
er an hour, but there is no eis-
ible outlet to the lake. The lake
rises and falls with tides just
like ,the ocean, but no One hag
ever been able • to account for
this, 'Neither do we know.where
the overflow of water goes.
Last year two adventurous
men-, Ronald Gregory and Tom-
my Brown - Hamilton, went
shooting in the lake area. It
was sticky hot and Gregory de-
cided against the advice of Ham-
ilton - Brown to have a quick
dip.
Gregory was swimming in a
shallow part of the lake, no more
than ten feet from the shore
when he gave a shout. Hamil-
ton - Brown saw him struggling
as if in the grip of some great
underwater creature and has-
tily threw a rope to him.
Gregory gripped the rope and
Hamilton - Brown began to
drag him out, but some force
was holding Gregory back as if
he were glued 'to a rock in the
water,
Gradually Hamilton - Brown
found himself being drawn into
the water. He raced with the
end of the rope and tied it to
a tree, then he had to stand by
and see how his friend was
dragged from the rope and
taken under water. Gregory
has not been seen since.
Once a ,farmer; Gerhardus de
Bruin, with two companions,
ventured on the lake and drop-
ped a 2,000-ft. plumb line. It
went rgiht down without toucn-
ing bottom, but while they were
hauling the rope in something
caught it and began to, drag it
downwards although all the
men hung on to the rope.
They swiftly sheared through
the rope with a knife and began
to row for the shore.. Fifteen
feet from the shore something
,grabbed the boat and jerked it
-under the water. De Bruin and'
his' companions began to swim
for their lives.
De Bruin reached the muddy
shore exhausted and dragged
, himself out, 'then turned to look
for his companions.
They had vanished! Within a
few feet of the shore something
had caught them and dragged
them under water! They have
not been seen since,
The world's most mysterious
lake keeps its grim secrets
locked somewhere in the great'
depths where the superstitious
natives say a gigantic monster
has his lair. Can this be true?

Some Folks Take
Love Seriously !
Amazing what sacrifices folk
will make when. they are madly
in love-like the twenty-four-
year-old Londoner who fell, in
love at sight with a beautiful
girl who chanced to Gall at the
insurance' offide 'e; *here he
worked,
He was wondering , how he
could get to meet her socially
when he was, bitterly disap-
pointed to hear she had married
a 'wealthy landowner thirty
years her senior.
Three weeks later he sacked
himself from his job and "got a
post as butler in his rival's
country house. He felt he must
be near ,the girl he still loved,
although she knew nothing of
his infatuation.
The butler served his master
loyally for nearly twenty years.
Then the husband died from
pneumonia,. '
After the funeral the butler
went straight to the widow and
,told her that he had always se-
cretly loved her,"
"I took the job to be near
you," he pleaded. "I resisted al-
ways the temptation, to try to
make you forget your marriage
vows. Now - will you marry
me?"
Touched by his, words, she
could only murmur, "Yes," as he
took her in his arms and kissed
her trembling lips for the first
time.
In the United States an ardent
young lover captured the head-
lines some years ago by,his de-
termination to do anything to
win a sloe-eyed girl's love.
She was staying with her par-
ents at a fashionable hotel and
had twice'refused to marry him.
Early one morning he stole
into 'the hotel unobserved by
the sleepy commissionaire and
chained himself to a radiator in
the vestibule, where he vowed
he would remain until the girl
consented to meter hip:
She thawed when she saw
'`this' proof of his 16ve-but only
after he had been there six
hours.,During that time the staff
had tried vainly to.free him and
to find the key to his chains
which he had flung through a
window into the street.
The couple duly married. And
they spent the first day and
night of their honeynidOn at that
same hotel.
Shortly before D-Day in Eu-
rope, a flight lieutenant from
New Zealand flew to an English
airfield after a loto-buating ex-
pedition •over France.
Awaiting him, 'with landing
instructions for the squadron,
Was the pretty W.A.A.F. Officer
with whom he was in love. As
he was coming in he proposed
to her' in mid-air over the inter-
Comm,
Everybody in the squadron
heard the proposal. The W.A.A.V.
felt very embarrassed and rather
angry about it.
"Conic in and land at ()nee,"
sh‘e'Ncor,ieddar ling, I won't," he re-
torted. "I won't On* in until
you say you'll marry nib?'
The impulsive anti-Ian's .C.O.
ordered him to land,
"I've got five gallons left ri()Wi"
was his reply, as his aircraft
buzzed over" the tattled.
Then, suddenly, draniatidelly,
the gave her answer *Melt

"Of detiree t ll Mar* you,"
she Said, "No* do as YoU're told

The, pair Were Martied ea feW
weeks later. 'it wee yet another

She merely mocked hint, say-

You are not rich?"
"NO, I brie only ten thot4and
francs," lie replied, 'and I've
brought it today to jay at your
feet, for I adore you,"
She laughed, 'Pm sorry, but
It would, not support me for a
month," she said,
The man took the thick wad
Of notes frond his pocket, walked
over to the Are and tossed them
into the flames, So impressed
was the woman by his devotion
that she married him the fol-
lowing week. They were raptur-
ously happy together,
One girl who gambled for her
happiness was only seventeen,
deeply in love-and a cripple.
Her left leg, inches shorter than
her right, needed a built-up
shoe-a result of poliomyelitis
when she was a baby,
She could not go dancing,
cycling or walking with her boy
friend, a twenty-year-old sol-
dier, so she decided that she
must do something about it.
While he was away, she per-
suaded doctors 'to amputate her
crippled leg six inches below
the knee and fit an artificial leg,
"I wanted to show my boy
friend that I love him so much
that I would do anything to win
his love," he said. "I wanted to
prove to him that when he
came back I would be able to
do the things he always wanted
me to do, Now I can walk miles,
dance, _ride a bicycle and do
anything that other girls do."
When the girl knew that the
operations was successful, she
wrote to him from her Hamp-
shire home, telling him what
she had done.
Back' came his answer in an
expressed letter. A diamond en-
gagement ring slipped :611t of
the envelope into her palm.
"Bless you, darling," his letter
ran, "let's marry as soon as I
get home." Once more love had
won. -
But is there any sacrifice 'a
woman won't make to please
the man she loves?
Take the case of the 190-
pound American wife whose hus-
band sued for divorce because
he said she ate too much and
was too heavy. He promised to
take her back only if she
slimmed and knocked off about
fifty pounds.
What did the wife do? She at
once started to slim, gave up
many of the tasty but fattening
foods she enjoyed, in an effort
to save her marriage and pre-
serve her husband's love,
Hungry Hotel
Amid a blaze of publicity, a
Government-owned hotel was
opened recently on the Gulf of
Siam. All the rooms were pala-
tial, and the amenities left
nothing to be desired. The hotel
staff was courteous and con-
siderate, and the charges were
moderate.
The new, palm-lined roads t
that led to the hotel 'were a
motorist's delight; there were
excellent facilities for bathing
and sporting activities. The
wide beach and a well-equipped •
playground ensured a good
holiday for children. There was
even a well-equipped health
centre close by.
There was just one snag,
however, and it soon had the
guests departing, and writing
angry letters to the Press.
The hotel provided no food-
and the nearest town was nine-
teen miles away, and that's
quite a distance to travel for a
meal, they all agreed.
The explanation is that the ,
Government, finding itself un-,
able to offer meals at 'a price
that would permit a reasonable
Margin of profit, decided to of-
fer accommodation only - but
did ,not make this clear in its
brochures,
Our lesson is from one Of the

portions of all of Christ's re-
corded teaching, I think God.
meant it to be tharivey, If we
knew in minute detail God's
plan fOr the 'future, we would;
know too much. Some cOnfident
interpreters are very dogmatic
about their understanding of it
all. But if one follows their
writings over a period Of years,
he finds that they have to
amend frequently in order tar
keep in line with current events.
During the later days of the
war I was returning a friend's
book. With great enthusiasm he
showed me a new 'book by the
same author, just off the press,
I ventured. "Oh," I said, "I sup
pose that in this rieW book
Japan is not one of the, ten lost
tribes." "No," he replied. In the
book I was returning, Japan.
was so identified. Why the
change? The first book was
written before the war when.
Japan was an ally of Britain.
The second was written when.
Japan waS fighting Britain.
Hence Japan was discontinued.
In the lesson Jesus' predicts -
the fall of Jerusalem. That took
place in! 70 A.D. The Jews made
their last stubborn stand, in the
temple, The Roman general set
fire to it. The Romans dug up
the foundation stones to pro-
cure the gold that had melted.
and run down, Not ,one stone
was left upon another, even as
Jesus had' said.
Verse 24 predicts the follow,-
ing scattering, of, the jeWs
throughout the world. "Jeru-
salem shall be trodden down of
the Gentiles till the time of the
Gentiles be fulfilled." The Gen-
tiles have recovered part of
Jerusalem. That is significant.
Great events are in the near fu-
ture. Let us take heed that we
are not bowed down with dissi-
pation, drunkeness and cares of
,this life. The last can be disas-
trous to spiritual preparedness
as the first and the second. Jesuit.
Christ is coming again with Hia
holy, angels. Let us 'be ready.
