CAN'T ALWAYS BE LABELLED ..But the fire, automobile and casual- ty insurance business does attempt to seek out many of the dangers which pose a constant threat to the safety of Canadians. This work is carried out day -today by insurance agents and inspectors in special testing laboratories ... and in many other -ways. However, insurance companies can't tag or label every danger. tatartANACE FEDERATION Even if they could, there still would be acccidents — because nine out of 10 accidents can be traced directly to carelessness. Last year, this same carelessness cost the lives of 10,000 Canadians and caused damage of more than one million dollars every day. 1'he only way to combat carelestl- ness and its toll is to be safety -con- scious at all times.

But the 'big bulk of the vegetable planting, things like carrots, beets, beans, potatoes, cabbage and so on are not safe until danger from frost is about over. And tender things like mel- ons, tomatoes, cucumbers and corn should not be planted or set out- side until all danger of frost is over. The same holds true in the flow- er lines too. The hardy things that will withstand a bit of frost are not too numerous andinclude sweet peas, cosmos marigolds and a few others which are listed as hardy in the seed catalogue. Most Rowers, however, so far as Canada is cancel -110, are only semi -hardy and planting these while there is still danger of frost and the soil is cold, is largely a waste of time. Even if they do grow, they are liable to be stunted by cold and later sown seed will be farther ahead in the end.

PHONE 344 A picture like this offers a nice change of pace from the more usual sunny . day snapshots of children. planting say by the end of May. In most parts of the country we can still go on sowing seed and setting out plants right up to July or even later. By spreading oper- ations over weeks, we spread the bloom and the harvest of vege- tables. In certain areas where the first frosts do not come until about the middle of ' September, it is quite possible, by planting in early July, to have fresh beans, carrots, beets, peas, lettuce and other fine vegetables coming on from mid- August until far into September. If You've Just Moved There is a lot to be done when one moves into a brand new house but still it is possible to have a good garden and have it this season too. Even those who rent and move every few years can also have an excellent garden. Ir these cases, of course, we rely -on annual flowers rather than perennials which must get established. And it is amazing what can be done with annuals exclusively. We can get vines that will cover a porch in a matter of weeks, things like scarlet runner beans or the mod- ern and vastly improved morning glories. Or we can use window boxes filled with trailing nastur- tiums, and semi -trailing petunias, marigolds and zinnias. In the place of permanent shrub- bery, we use big quick growing bushy annuals like cosmos, giant marigolds, and zinnias, delphinium, ornamental sunflower or tithonia.

Is lid` Ready It is a mistake and often a ser- ious one to do any general cultivat- ing or sowing while the ground is muddyy,,�,,either because the winter's frost is still coming out or there have been recent, -rains. Heavy soil, especially, is liable to bake hard and lumpy if dug or worked while too wet. A good test is to take a little earth and squeeze it in the hand.
