Oil wells have been drilled to a depth of more than 25 ' thousand feet, and modemtech- inology will probably make it :possible to go much deeper. ,When it comes to water, how- ever, it's a case of "the deeper ;the worse." Few wells produce drinkable water from depths of more than five thousand feet and in Canada the average `drinking -water well is less than 500 feet deep. Suitable Games for Christmas Season There are a few suggestions for games that could be played at parties during the Christmas holidays. CAN YOU DRAW IT? Provide every guest with a piece of paper and a pencil and ask him to write on it the let- ters IT in any position and in any size. The papers are then collected and given out again. Each player is then asked to make up a picture using the lines that have been given them. After ten minutes collect the papers. Then you can decide who is the best artist. MYSTERY ENVELOPE This is a splendid way of dividing off your guests into partners, either at suppertime or for the game that is describ- ed after this one. Take a large envelope and in this put as many numbered squares of paper as you have guests. The players sit in a cir- cle, and while music is played, as for musical chairs, the en- velope is passed from one to the other. When the music stops whoever is holding the en- velope takes out a number and falls out of the ring. The music begins again, and the envelope is passed around as before. This continues until every player has a number. Then one pairs off with two, three with four and so on. You may have an equal number of boys and girls, and in that case have colored papers for the boys, with odd numbers written on them, and white even num- bered slips for the girls. Then the boys are asked to take col- ored pieces and the girls white ones. HOLIDAY SCHOOL For this game everyone needs a partner, and if you have just been playing the game pre- viously described you are each provided with one. Then one player is chosen to be a head- master, and his partner becom- es his assistant and acts as um- pire. The other players sit facing the head -master with theirpart- ners. He then begins the game by addressing one of the play- ers by name and asking him a question. This must be answer- ed, not by the owner of the name but by whoever is hispart- ner. If the master is very quick, he will soon catch his pupils out. When a player answers to a wrong name (and it is not as easy as you may think), he and his partner are out. The pair who stay in the longest become the new head- master and assistant, Yule Logs for the Holiday Fire If you have a fireplace, and also some old newspapers and magazines, why not make Yule logs for Christmas? If you have the papers but not the fireplace, these Yule logs will make an inexpensive and much appreci- Dr. Manner Is Institute Speaker LAKELET-The December meeting of the Women's Insti- tute was held in the hall with a good attendance. Devotions were read by Mrs. Versteeg. The Business was conducted by the president, Mrs. Lyle Mur- ray. The program convened by the committee on health consisted of a motto entitled "Recreation builds mentally, morally, and physically", was well presented by Mrs. Percy Huth. Roll call was answered by the presentation of a gift suitable for a cancer patient. Dr. Van- ner of Palmerston then spoke on rheumatoid arthritis, ex- plaining the symptoms and the different treatments used. A demonstration wasgiven by Mrs. Harold Wallace on making useful articles from empty bleach bottles. Lunch was served by the committee in charge. ated gift for a friend who has a fireplace. Chemicals are the secret of these brightly -burning logs; when newspapers or magazines are rolled tightly, tied and soaked in solutions of differe chemicals, they burn slowly and produce a rainbow of color, ed flames. The logs take most of a month to dry, so better start now if you want them red.- dy for Christmas. Into a pail - preferably a wooden one since the chemi- cals will corrode metal - put two pounds coarse salt, two pounds bluestone and two gal- lons boiling water. Now add one ounce each of any of the following chemicals, depend- ing on the flame color desired: strontium nitrate, which burns with a red flame;,bismuth ni- trate which burns crimson; an- timony chloride, which burns blue; barium -chloride or borax, both of which give a green flame; or potassium chloride which burns purple. Put the rolled up magazines or newspapers into the solution' and let them soak until the li- quid is absorbed. Don't use slick paper magazines because they won't absorb liquid easily. Dry the logs on a rack till they are completely dry. When you put them on your holiday fire they'll burn with an array of glowing colors. • • • when aManS aBoyat$e2 7 WE HAVE JUST THE RIGHT GIFT FOR n Time turns backward in a man's heart at Christmas.
