Know Them?
It was about sixty years ago and Percy Mitchell was
leaving for the west and wanted something to remind him of
his youth in Brussels. He invited his friends to have their
pictures taken with him and this is the result. Mr. Mitchell
is the second from the left in the back row. William Ireland,
now 90, and the only surviving member of the group is at the
far right in the second row from the back. Try and identify
the others in the picture, then look on page 12, The picture was
loaned by Walter Scott.

HEALTHY AND HANDSOME
You can tell Ricky is full of high spirits. Just look at that
smile! He is a healthy, good-.looking young fellow, almost six
years old, with dancing brown eyes, black slightly wavy hair and
medium complexion inherited from his Indian ancestors.
Ricky is an active boy, sometimes boisterouS as you'd
expect a five-year-old to be. But he enjoys quiet times when
he likes to watch TV, especially sesame street or Friendly
Giant. He is happy at Kindergarten where he gets on well
with the other children. But he does relish the undivided
attention of adults and one of his favorite times Is When he
helps his foster mother clear the table and do the dishes,
because he has her all to hiniself.
Ricky is a good singer and picks up tunes easily.
He is generally cheerful, and amenable but is occasionally
uncooperative, especially among strangers. He needs atarnily
where the children are older or much younger than himself
and where the parents will be able to give him attention,
understanding and love. To inquire abbut adopting Ricky,
please write to TOdaY's Child, Box 8881 station K, Toronto.

from?
First of all, it dues; Oct come
from outside, M. many people. be-

water in. that amount of air can,
be only eight ten-thousandths of
a. pound. 'l'hat is dry.
On the other banci, take a look
inside the barn„ F.ach. cow in
there ,actually breathes out one •
pound of water vapor per hour.
This. vapor is seen as steam..
Each cow releases 24 pounds of
water. Into the stable air in one
day. That is almost 2
lona per day per cow. That AS
wet.
If „the barn floor is damp,
more water evaporates into the
air. If nothing is done abOut it,
the stable air will be holding all
the water vapor it can. poSsibly
hold,
An important property of air
is that it will hold more water as
the temperature goes up. Take
Or at 48 degrees F. It can now
hold almost 10 times as much
water as it could at 0 degrees F.
This is how frost magically
appears on windows and walls.
The warm moist air in the barn
comes close to a very cold sur-
face. This thin layer of air next
to the surface becomes cooler.
The cooler air can no longer hold-
as much moisture as it did before •
so some of the water drops out
of the air as condensation on the
wall .or ceiling. If the surface is
cold enough, the condensation
freezes to give us the familiar
frost of winter nights.
