where you are?. Consider Mrs. Elbert McRae: she's shown
cooking a boiler of snow for laundry water in the gold fields of
Manitoba, Canada, one of the continent's last frontiers. It hits
60 below zero in those parts. But menfolks working the mines
are in a steady underground 68.
TEEN TOWN TOPICS
= By BARRY MURKAR=
Here's a real piece of news for
all those interested in Wild life and
who feel that we must pitch in and
save some of Canada's great nat-
ural resources before it is too late.
A note in the
mail from friend,
Manly Miner
tells us that the
Jack Miner
Foundation is to
sponsor Nation-
al Wild Life
week. (April
10th - 10th, in-
clusive). Mr.
Miner gave us a scoop on this, and
we couldn't get it in last week.
Manly tells us that the educational
department of the Foundation has
been devoting these winter months
to preparing a program for that
week. There will be no tag day.
It will be strictly an educational
week and no money will change
hands in correction with same.
It will be a week when all church-
es of all denominations will be
asked Sunday, April 11th, to em-
phasize in their sermons God's
great outdoors and how important
it is to conserve the natural re-
sources God has given vs. School
teachers will be asked to stress
the value of bird life to their class-
es and service dubs will be asked
te, have someone speak on wild life,
at their meetings that week. So
keep that week in mind.
By the way, we have a bird stick,
hanging in the apple tree in the
back yard and Mr. Woodpecker
sure makes short order of the suet
we put in the holes on the stick —
and prices what they are these (legs
too.
Yipel Did You Read That Tool
Yesterday the local tailor called
us in and whispered in our ear,
"You should have a new suit. It's
not just the money I'm thinking
about. In fact you'll thanlc ane in a
few weeks," Well to make a story
short, we read today that suits are
expected to go up another $10.00
in price — topcoats too. Where is
it going to end, he asked, mopping
his brow.
Part Of The Answer
We were quite interested in an
article appearing in the February
11, issue of the Family Herald.
Titled, "Why I Left The Farm".
It is part of the answer to my
column of a few weeks ago. The
writer states that the reason so
many young people leave the farms
is because their fathers will not or
do not put then on a weelcly or
monthly wage. Seems like papa
doles out the sheckie's when jun-
ior asks for them — and only then.
The young men do not like this and
as a result head for the city and
steady wages. Seems to me this
problem could easily be overcome
by poppy and junior having a quiet
talk and getting the matter settled.
No need for the farmer's son to
pull up stakes just because be hasn't
a steady income. This should be
overcome by a little compromising
between father and son.
P. S. If you read this column,
write and tell me so.
Paris Skirts Only
9 Inches off Ground
Smaller waists and skirts nine
inches off the ground are keynotes
of the spring styles.
The long skirt has come to stay
and some designers have slightly in-
creased their length.
As for the wasp waist,' they
are back to 1880 with a fuller bust -
line and more pronounced hips.
There is a general movement
away from the one-piece frock, and
at least one designer has abandon-
ed the tailored coat and skirt,
Tis new materials are all of a
piece with the period—the taffetas,
lawns, organdies and muslins of
mid-Victorian days.
Another Victorian touch is that
of stockings to match frocks. But
they are in modern nylon—blue,
pink or jade green toned with
brightly colored parasols and hat
veils shot with many colors.

CHRONICLES OF OMR FARMS
By Gwendonne t' Clarke ---'------
Yesterday 1 went to 'Toronto ---
by bus, It turned out to be an aw-
ful day, rain, slush, sleet and ice.
But the passengers boarded the
bus quite hopefully al 6:45 fur their
return trip that night, thinking the '
bus would get them home all right
no matter what the weather. In-
stead of that it was we, the passen-
gers, who brought the bus home!
Everything was fine as long as
we were on the highway, but half
way home the bus services a round-
about route over gravel roads, It
was then that the fun began. The
road was a glare of ice and at
every little grade the heavy vehicle
was completely helpless and sat
there with wheels spinning. There
were about seven men atnoni, the
passengers and each time we stalled
they ail piled out and shoved away
behind the bus. Generally they
managed to get it moving but on
one .hill the bus just wouldn't
budge. Fortunately we were near
a house and our little army of men
went begging for ashes, The driv-
er remarked as he waited - "I hope
they had good fires going all day
today," He is quite a lad, that
driver ... a keen sense of htunor
and very good at his job.
It was funny to see the little
procession coming hack, each man
carrying a box of ashes ... and
they did the trick. Of course, once
the bus began to move the driver
was afraid to stop until he was on
a down grade or at least a level
spot where there was some trac-
tion, which meant that the men
had to follow on foot. This time
we must have travelled at least
half a mile before it was safe to
stop — and there were the poor,
dear men trailing along behind on
the slippery road. Finally they
caught up with us, climbed in, the
driver let out the clutch . . . and
nothing happened! The bus, appar-
ently, was ready for another rest.
One man said - "What did we get
in for?" So they got out again and
with their persuasion the bus start-
ed off once more. She rolled along
nicely until we came to another
hill - this time there was no house,
no ashes and the bus got sulky and
wouldn't budge an inch. Present-
ly a jeep came along and with the
combined forces of jeep and gentle-
men we moved again. Of course it
took a little while, and as we waited,
there was a dead silence among the
women passengers inside the bus
as we listened to what was going
on behind us. Into this silence,
Maurice, the driver, remarked with-
out benefit of explanation - "Friday
... February the thirteenth!"
Mothers Should Know
Home Nursing Facts
Each season presents special
problems for the home nurse. And
summer's no exception. But what-
ever the illness or emergency, you
can tackle it competently if you
have correct nursing information
at your fingertips.
Suppose a member of the family
should collapse on a scorching day.
If heat prostration is the cause,
the patient will breathe rapidly and
be covered with perspiration. Send
for the doctor right away. Mean-
time, put the patient to bed and
apply external heat to his feet. If
the pulse is weak, give a stimulant.
Do yqu know what to do for that
bane of every summer onting—
poison ivy? Wash irritated part
with brown soap and water; then
apply zinc oxide ointment or cala-
mine lotion. If irritation persists,
continue ointment or lotion. For
serious case, call doctor,
How to cope with family colds,

eases from spreading? You'll find

1 don't laws hoe many times in
all we stopped on the road - we
last count completely - but I do
know it was O:so when the bus fin-
ished its journey - and it should
have been 7:15. And the Wren cert-
ainly did plenty of walking. It was
really quite a trip, but 1 must con-
fess, except for the fart that 1 knew
they would be worrying at home,
I rather enjoyed it. It turned what
otherwise would have leen a mono-
tonous journey, into a real adventure.
But we did get hungry! A young
neighbour and 1 shared a seat and
neither of us had bothered to eat
before leaving the city, so our supper
was one chocolate bar and a packet
of lifesavers divided between us.
When I got home Partner wel-
comed me by saying - "Why in the
world didn't you stay overnight?'
13ob had a funny experience too
when be started out to meet me -
at 7 daiOrlcl He was driving the
"pick-up" and when it got clown
to the road it made a complete U
turn and started back up the lane
again. Bob took it as an omen and
let it came. Then he parked the
little truce and went out again with
the big one.
As for my day in Toronto. It
tools me five hours to find drapes
for our living room - the choice was
so limited and the price so appall-
ing I almost came home without
any. Almost ... eventually I found
exactly what I wanted.
