These seeds are germinating now and little maple seedlings are starting in ,weptilpts,. gardens, cultivated fields and lawns. growing in places, .where a woodlot is not desired, However, along the edge of woodlands and inside the woodlot, where there is protection .and hence more favourable moisture condition, thousands will successfully germinate and survive. Then if they .are pro- tooted from grazing animals and fire, they will develop and thereby guaran- tee the perpetuation of the woodlot, Irarmere who have continually put off fencing their grazed woodlot from livestock would be wise to act this year if they wish to secure the regen- eration which will provide timber for Come see come drive Oldsmobile's exciting new "Rocket 88", and enjoy a totally new experience in driving pleasure.

Sniall Change Pilfered As ,Store Broken Into R, Finlayson's grocery and feed store was broken into some time after midnight on Saturday with the loot confined to about $5.00 in silver. No merchandise appeared to be taken. Entrance was gained by forcing open a big door in the feed shed at. the rear of the building, and then breaking a window to get into the store. A few weeks ago the home of Mrs. Alen McNeil was broken into, when beds and drawers were ransacked in searching for money. The search !lot- ted about 15.00. Entrance was gained by smashing a window.—Lucknow Sentinel. By Florence B.

One who served under her at Buck- ingham Palace said she was a most considerate employer, taking a real personal interest in the welfare of her I staff. She maintains her interest in world affairs, in art and books, and! above all, in people, Perhaps part of the secret of her "triumphant old age" is her happy childhood and her own temperament which made her as a. girl, ask her governess, "What can I do to help?" "I have never been bored," she told a friend recently, and as orfe sees her at a picture show or in an antique shop, or talking to the cottagers on her estate, and remembers all she did during the 1914-1918 year and still does today, one reechoes the words of the working woman, when Queen Mary vxisited Bethnal Green recently. "Why, the Queen works as 'aid as any of us, God bless her." Yes, true, but she also enjoys life, and as Keir Hardie once said of her, "When that woman laughs she does laugh, not make contortions like so many royalties." • Another writer, extraordinarily act- ive, who enjoys life enormously is Al- gernon Blackwood. At 80 he can look back at some 50 years of welting, and today is continuing his literary work. He talks regularly on the radio. Last year Mr. Blackwood was awarded a medal by the Television Society for the most outstanding art- istic achievement in 1948. The presi- dent of the society stated: "His per- formance is unique for he does not rely on scenes or stage settings, ef- fects or supporting cast. He must hold our interest by the sheer exercise of his own personality and ability." Yee 15 minutes he just sits in an easy natural pose and tells his tale, without a note or pause of hesitation. But then Algernon Blackwood is horn storyteller and belongs to the race of wandering men who have travelled beyond the Caucasus Moun- tains, studied eastern philosophy, and delighted their fellow men by their tales and songs. "I am something of a nomad and wanderer, and I love to listen to tales and tell them, / have lived among people of all sorts and conditions, heard the most amazing and weird stories, and having an imaginative and creative gift, never lack material for my novels and tales," he declares.. When I had a, talk with him recent- ly at a London Club—he has no per- manent home and ho possessions eke cept what he needs for his daily life and work- he told nie something of his early days of struggle and pov- erty, Born into a well-off, professional family,. .he was brought up in a very strict atmosphere against which, as a boy, he revolted, He went off to Can- ada and led a hard life on a farm. lio then Went to New York and earned a precarious livelihood at first as a police court reporter and an investi- gator into the slums, "I had never thought about writing .stories till one day in London I was bailed by a fellow journalist from New York—stepson of Pinero„ the dramatist—who said, "Hi, Blackwood, what have you done with all those stories you used to tell sue long ago, when we were both SO poor?" "Nothing," I replied, "except that wbe'n I had riot anything else to do I just wrote them out and they .are in a drawer in my room, You can have them." "So he came and took them and sent them to a publisher, A few months later, this well-known Lon- don publisher accepted them, and in 1906 my first book was published, "The Empty House" "Do you enjoy life?" I asked him. "Every moment," was his reply. "There is always something new and Interesting, I like people. I love read- ing and talking and telling tales. I enjoy EEC work immensely and tele- vision is a new pleasure to me. I never think of age, and still look forward. "You asked me what I have learned from life. Above all, I think, to be tolerant and to live simply. One must not allow one's mind or body to be stagnant and inert." * e * Recently two great men celebrated their triumph over age: Winston Churchill his 75th birthday and Dr. 1 Gilbert Murray, his diamond wedding. ; Both have been benefactors to man-iii kind, the one by his rnagnificient il leadership in war, his optimism. his I, fellowship with all: the other by his i fine scholarship which has made the i i great Greek classics, through his I ., translations, the heritage of all Eng- • ',, i lish-speaking people; and by his work for the League of Nations. What have these men and women, so different in character, occupation, and walls in life, in common? Surely, above all else, .an interest in life and a capacity to enjoy it, a sense of hum, or which allows them to put sadness, weariness and boredom to one side, and finally, an ability to he forgetful of self, HAMILTON OPTICAL CO.

The best part of natural reforestation (trees that grow from .seed. rather than planted seedlings) is that it is inexpensive— the only expense being a fence to keep out the livestock. Nature offers us this year a bounti- fui supply of seeds, without cost, in woodlots which are doomed to vanish if grazing continues. Consider care, fully if this investment is worthwhile this year, Remember we may not have another good crop of sugar map" le seeds for several years. So writes that wise man, Cicero, in his "De Senectute," And as we look around today we realize it is the spirit that counts, and that it is not the date of birth that determines whether a man or woman shall continue to do good and valuable work, Elderly people have always played a great part in the community, In the last century grandmothers so often helped to develop the character of their grandchildren that they were an integral part of England's large Victorian families.
