By Jean Bewley In Australia, water seems to be one of the big problems. Lately, we have been hearing about disastrous floods in the north and interior. In the Victoria area, where we spent most of our time, many of the lakes are salty and even the bores (drilled wells) are salty. When we arrived at Mary and Wayne's, I spied a tap and rushed for a glass of fresh Water, It tasted terrible. Mary's answer was "That's because it has been Correspondent Mrs. Chester Earl Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Our harbingers of spring appear to have felt that way also, Mrs. Karen Hastings reported Wednesday of last week that she sighted a robin in her yard. On Friday Mrs. Doug. Spence told us she had also spotted a robin on a neighbour's lawn. We heard last week that the Killdeers are also back with us.

After that I stuck to coffee or lemonade bought in quart bottles. They depend mostly on rain water collected in large metal tanks, the water is pumped from them into another tank on the roof of the house and gravity takes over from there. There is a pipeline from the Grampian Mountains which passed nearby so they will be able to get water from it in the future.

The Australians laughed at me for wanting my picture taken with a Scotch Thistle. We had seen them from the road and wondered if they were rhubarb until we saw the characteristic flower like our Scotch Thistle. The .leaves were position with Mr. Gordon Ross and is looking for a house in the vicinity. Mrs. Russ Wilbee visited Mr . and Mrs. Ian Wilbee at Walton, Sunday.

We didn't see dandelions there, but they• had their counterpart - Capeweed. To us, it was pretty, turning the countryside into a mass of yellow with its flowers resembling our Brown-eyed-susans with short stems. --One of their worst weeds was quite small with a seed pod which, when it expels its seeds, does so in, the same manner as vetch but the pods are so slender, and tough that they resemble corkscrews and will work their way into the wool of the sheep, people's clothes, etc. They are worse than our barley awns used to be. Black Sky The Victorian countryside at -night was a revelation. The sky seemed blacker, the stars brighter and more numerous. The reason may be lack of pollution in the air but my theory is less light on the ground. Most houses have windbreaks of trees around them so no lights show up. They never have yard lights on the farms and of course they don't need lights in the sheds at night. I wonder, what they think when they hear of 'our power shortage in Canada after me telling them that nearly every farm has a dusk to dawn yard light! Victorian farmers • driving through Ontario farmland would think they were in town all the time. Another interesting event was our visit to the Bush Nursing Station—in Lake Bolac. Valerie Kiely, the bush nurse entertained us one afternoon. She, her two children -and invalid mother live right in the station. She is on call at all times. She contacts a doctor for help and advice when needed but she is the first one called to give first aid at an accident, pull a tooth, or act as midwife, etc. The station itself is well-equipped with sterilizing equipment, instruments, etc. Another duty is health education .- she gies talks on health to school children. The hospital at Ararat where Mary worked, looked much like any small town hospital in Canada and seemed quite well-equipped. Large Sine y...

The Board turned down on a 9 to 3 vote a request from Terry Craig, a teacher at St. James Separate School in Seaforth, to send out a geographical statistical survey to parents of "students in St. Columban and St. Patrick's School, Dublin, with the students taking the questionnaire home to their parents. Mr. Craig indicated inhis letter to the Board the statistics were required in the Geography Course he was taking at Laurier University, Waterloo. While the Board members agreed the survey was harmless, Trustee David Teahen suggested that Mr, Craig should mail out the questionnaire himself, rather than involve the Board. The Regional Director of Education in Kitchener reported to the Board that it could receive an allocation from Capital Aid of $50,000 (Category B) for such projects as extensions of education services — such as tesource centres, gyrithasitiins, as long as there is a proven heed that will meet Ministry of Education approval, This proposal Was handed over to the Building and Maintenance Corhinittee to consider and report back to hoard for approvaL
