The weapon they unleash on. the. general public is the Easter Seals, a symbol of hope and opportunity provided by The Ontario. Society for Crippled Children. You will have already received your Easter Seals and this year a, target of $850,000 in voluntary contributions must be realized or some of the more than 14,000 handicapped kid- dies across the province will be neglected. The hands of a Lion; for ex- ample, may bold the surgeon's . knife in a vitally important .cor- restive operation which allows a child to walk alone and unaided again. The hands of a Rotarian may hold the steering wheel of a car or station wagon that takes crippled children to clinics, base- ball games, picnics and Christmas parties. From. this simple act of licking a stamp and mailing you a cam- paign letter and a sheet of Easter Seals, to the important business of the information of the Society's policies in expansion programs, the service club members take keen interest and active part. DRUGGIST SPONSORS LECTURE TO FARMERS There was a good attendance at the Legion 'Home on Tuesday af- tern000n of last week when farm- ers of the district were guests of Vance's Drug Store for an educa- tional lecture on cobalt. The speaker, Bill Tunbridge of Nicholas International, stressed the need of cobalt in ruminant nutri- tion. A map, showing the defic- ient areas in Canada and the Un- ited States indicates that this sec tion of Ontario is acutely defic- ient in cobalt. Mr. Tunbridge also showed movies to illustrate his ad- dress. The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Can- adian Legion served lunch to those present. Many people gamble on long- odds sweepstakes, firmly confident that their number will come up sooner or later. Yet many of these same people, points out the Ontario Safety League, consistently take for shorter odds when gam- bling that they can overtake on a hill, quite convinced that their number can never come up, SOWND SENSE = = = SWINE NUTRITION STARTS WITH THE SOW Litters start growing as soon as the sow is serviced.

They have points of simil- arity and dissimilarity and I read both with horrified fascination. They were: THE DARKEST BOUGH by Anne Chamberlain and PSYCHO by Robert Bloch, The latter is an Inner Sanctum mystery. I chose the first partly for its jacket design--it shows a three-storied mid-Victorian house shaded by a gnarled oak tree. Ap- parently the author lives in just such a house surrounded by huge oaks and says that "the atmos- phere of the house and trees . . literally breathes story ideas". Such trees often seem to reflect the emotional atmosphere of the people living near them—or is it the other way around—do they create an atmosphere that affects the people? It is an -idea that per- mits debate. The second hook was recom- mended to me by another reader who frequentsg the library. Here is blood and violence and mount- ing .terror. The second chapter sets the scene. "All at once she could hear the sullen patter of the rain and sense the sigh' of the wind behind it . . and now the darkness was here rising all around Mary. She was alone in the dark . But no help for it— she'd made her grave and now she must lie in it. Why .did she think that? It wasn't 'grave', it was 'bed'. Although she did not know it she. had chosen instinctively the right word first." The story races ahead. The clues are there but not being a detective, I failed to understand their significance. Thus the ending was a surprise to me. That, of course, is desir- able in a good mystery story. Oth- er,readers better at deduction may solve the mystery themselves. The style of writing is good• easy to read but vivid, not slick and slop- py as many such books tend to be. The people are ordinary, everyday souls---aside from the Bates fam- ily—and all are believable. "The Darkest Bough" is a quite different type of story but to me it was more horrifying. I think this was so because the evil was so elusive. There is no violence and no rnurder until the very last sentence. In both books there were close family relationships but in this one the' whole plot hinges on that fact, An' elderly woman has the care of her orphan grand- children, the younger of whom is mentally retarded in some respects. At the opening of the story he' is fourteen, big physically, cunning and restless. His nineteen-year-old sister finds herself incapable of handling him alone—the grandmo- ther is almost bedfast with arth- ritis. It becomes necessary to find a 'companion, to help. Angelo Dalton seems the answer to their problems. Morgan, the boy, be- comes devoted to. him and depen- dent on him. The action becomes a wordless battle between Bitha (short for Tabitha) and Angelo— not not so wordless a battle where the grandmother is concerned. Her "third wind" precipitates the crisis which reveals Angelo for What he is. Much of the action takes place in the „dark of night, which gives the story a haunting quality. By contrast the daylight hours are full of sunlight and peace and routine domestic tasks. I deplore violence, and yet this book I found the more fearful of the two. It is disturbing to see what happens to the heart and mind struggling against the in- tanglible power of an older man's need to dominate--in any way he can. The force of evil cannot be seen but to me an amoral being is the most terrifying of all crea- tures. Anne Chamberlain's style is crisp and polished. She evokes LIBRARY WEEK ACROSS CANADA The first week in April, Library Week, draws attention to the ser- vices offered to Canadians through their libraries. Only a very 'few people can hope to own an ade- quate library but our public lib- raries provide, for the asking, books for reference, for self-in- struction, for entertainment, Few realize the importance of reading in our lives. To be free to read is a precious privilege. Nothing else can take its place, perhaps because we read what we choose, when and where we wish, and at any rate we fancy. We may pause, turn back a few pages, skim over others—it is all between the book and ourselves. Reading is important because it enlarges the mind, sometimes changes the viewpoint, makes a person think. Books to be of use must have readers, The Canad- ian Library .Association hopes to make every 'citizen aware of the value of the library, and has chos- en for itS theme, Read for Plea- sure, Read for 'Profit, Read for Progress, not just for this• one week, but for every week in the year.— The Wingham Library Board. atmosPhere thus: "On Rupert Street in twilight the old house's settle peacefully. Evening is 'their climate; shadows caress the sag- ging wood, the sloping steps, the lightless • unusued windows. Like elderly ladies, the houses doze in their deep lawns . . On all sides the trees sweep fanlike, making their own murmur, From' 'the window of Grandma's front room Bitha saw, walking toward the house, the lithe man. She prayed: Let him be right." I enjoyed "The Dark 'Bough" More, I think, than "Psycho"; al- though it made my spine prickle. Both books are short, under two hundred pages. Each will occupy, an evening; but I echo the warn- ing on Psycho's jacket—just don't read them when in. the house alone, especially not at night. IN THE LIBRARY By DORIS 0.
