I tried to stay out of the sight of them, but I wanted to..tell the men — "Don't let it hit those other trees," or "make it fall here — or there."

FRIDAY at 7:30, and 9:20 P.M. The -min on. the saw knew his business but 'you stood with your heart in your throat waiting" for the. 'big WHU-M-M-PH! One of the trees which seemed twice as large as the others, was creating a' problem. A large section of it hung close to the house and the one huge branch which twisted, and turned itself into a distinct figure 5 - (if you were looking at it from my bed) — seemed to overbalance the whole tree and more care and figuring had to be made. {- - I was watching this one, from an upper window — which would have been smashed in had the tree fell the wrong way — and I suddenly realized the smaller tree below it was one I had planted many years ago. Did you ever plant a tree while standing on your head? Well, that is just about how it seemed when you were trying to keep a footing on that steep bank and dig thro' the rocks and roots at the same time. There was very little soil there and I never ever managed to dig a hole deep enough, but I planted dozens of those nice little- maples in that ' rock and a little prayer went in with each one of them. Very few ever grew — guess the prayer. wasn't strong enough! In panic, I suddenly realized that that huge tree would completely smash that nice little tree and I flew down the stairs' and out - out in time to see the death of a brave,little• tree.. THAT did it! I jumped into the car and away - away from ' that awful crash and earth shaking thud! You should never'drive a car when you ' are under an emotional strain — anger. — or any of those things that .blind . you to what you are doing. It is against the law to drive if you are blind! Luckily, I found myself at the other side of town unharmed and feeling very foolish. But I just don't want another such experience — ever. Yesterday we were riding out around the country.,After all the rain, the streams and ditches 'were overflowing; in *many places, the back `roads were,. flooded. . The driver and "Bucky" were discussing the good spots where they had . seen so many groundhogs and I heard many tales of how good they were with the .22. Anyway they started' down a little road leading to a mill where at one time they had had a water wheel turning to drive ctlp their grain -grinding machines. The dam was overflowing — and the stream had cut ,several new courses— one of which was right across the road — and ripping along at a fine rate. "Don't go thro' — turn around." I pleaded., Buck gets out and looks at the width and depth of the stream and says, "no problem!" That's all they needed and in' we went. A great puff of steam shot out from under the hood -and the' motor stopped — guess where — in the MIDDLE of that stream! Well, I didn't hold back the LLI-told-you-soes" but that just added to the fun. So they didn't think it was so deep, etc., etc., and' so ewe sat — never closer to a fishing spat before — and no fishing rod. After many tries to start' the= motor, the driver crawled .out onto the hood and jumped,. across to the dry ' road. After getting chunks of wood to stand on, he investigated the problem under the hood. The distributor was .soaking wet — and a few other things but "it will dry with the heat of the motor." So we sat — and not a soul' in 'sight. "This is usually a busy -road.".. ".'Yes, but everyone but us Kew it was flooded!" I tried to talk someone into wiping the plugs and things to help them dry faster. After lust about running the battery down, he decided to take my advice: "Well, I couldn't see any dampness ' in the distributor, or anything, but .I hope you're satisfied now,- - try it," The motor started at once. 'What a relief, I could just see us sitting there for the night! This will make another tale for those two when they get together and have a big laugh -about how close they were to some good fishing.

The first clinic, for 60 promising *young athletes, will be', held at r McMaster University, . Hamilton:from June 30 to Ju1y4. 5. It is the fourth such clinic' desigined to give top instruction to athletes of promise. Many of,, the graduates of past clinics such' as Jay Dahlgren, Wilf Wedmann and Joan Fisherhave already done' well in international • competition. . Geoffrey Dyson returns from England to direct the athlete clinic. He ' will also be here` fore the 8th national clinic for' coaches at the University of Guelph from August' 19 to 29, This year the Legion tries a $5,100 experiment' in order to bolster. the number of club' coaches attending the clinic. It will provide both. transportation and tuition for 60 club coache who qualify for a general al events course. All clinics are conducted with $5,000 grogram financial assistance from the Department of National Health and .Welfare. But eoaches attending Guelph normally are expected to pay an $85 registration fee. , This . will be waived for club coaches only, with these fees being paid by the Legion. Another 100 coaches will be accepted for an advance course, which will be given in. both English and French. For these there will be a registration fee but in all cases, transportation will be provided. Chairman Fred O'Brecht, Durham, explained: "Most of our previous candidates' have been teachers or were somehow involved 0 in education... They_ usually found. it easy to come to our clinic, and ; I , hope they continue to do so. They've produced good results! But we also,want to make it easier for the oach who can't get time off Without sacrificing pay or holidays. This is the object of - the scholarship or grant." The third Legion clinic will be held this winter, probably in -late December. Details of it will be announced -later. DINING.
