Help was hard to get so Ed. Smith
who works as a sort of handy man
around the hotel in the village came
out. Ed is not one of our more am-
bitious men. He started some twenty
and
ago doing odd jobs at the hotel
and in return he got his 'bed and hoard
and, a modest wage. Ed liked the life
so.well that he stayed on. He putters
around and sweeps up and sometimes
he looks after the desk when the pro- -
prietor is having dinner. Other times
lie replaces burned out light bulbs or a
broken stair or a chair that a guest
managed to wreck in an over-enthus-
iastic moment.
Ed. works all day at the hotel and
he sits around all evening. He never
says very much. He just listens to
commercial travellers and farmers and
village folk, and if you ask him some-
thing he'll either nod agreement or say,.
"You 'pear to be about right."
I was hard up for a man for a couple
of -days and asked him one night if he
could come out. He smoked at his
pipe for awhile and finally • said,
"Things are quiet here, I don't s'pose
John would mind. I'll help you for
a couple of days." •
Ed, forked hay the same way as he
did everything else, The bmniles did-
n't come up fast and furious bit they
came as regular as clock work, I was
rather astounded that he had cone in

SUSPEND- MAXIMUM
PRICES. ON SEEDS
Maximum prices have been suspend-
ed on all seeds except seeds of field
peas and field 'beans, other than those
of registered or certified grade, the
Dominion Department of Agriculture
and the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board have announced.
Reason for 'this action is because
supplies of practically all kinds of
seeds are sufficient to meet Canadian
requiremeifts and some European cou-
ntries are now offering for export
seeds- from the' 1946 crops which is
taken an indication , that the general
seed supply situation is safe. Canad-
ian requirements., will, however, still-be
protected by the export permit policy.
Since the price control regulations
have been lifted, the Special Products
Bdard will not now be the sole export-
er of all seeds of alfalfa, red clover,
alsike clover, and alsike-white clover
mixture, nor will it provide for the is-
sue of participation certificates. The
Seed Export Office at Lindsay, Ont.,
which the Board has operated since
the fall of 1943, will be closed by
August 31st. next. •
