All our wheat is cut and stooked
and about thirty loads In the barn.
The next thing we have to worry
about is gutting It threshed. 1 wish
that little job were already done.
What a busy time this is, what with
the harvest work going on outside
and canning and processing going
on inside -and of course the exces-
Aive heat we get every few days
seems to be the order of the day.
We had one very heavy storm last
week with some hail but not enough
to do any real damage.
* * *
Sandwiched in between other jobs
Cicely and I picked and canned rasp-
berries, cherries and beans. I ex-
perimented with the beans -which
were later taken to the locker. Some
were scalded, chilled and packed in
a two percent brine. Others were
merely cut and packed in cartons
without any liquid. This Ives after
I had been told that experiments
had been conducted at the O.A.C.
along these lines and it was agreed
that the only advantage to the
scalding and hrinc-packing method
was that the beans retained a more
attractive colouring. Well, the proof
of the beans will be in the eating,
regardless of colour.
* *
Yes, we have certainly been busy,
Cicely and I -but still we managed
to find time'to have a little fun with
Whisky and her kittens. The kit-
tens, by the way, have presented us
with a striking example of what
happens when a mother does not
ear complex to her off-
spring. Canines and felines are
s. . uty natural born enemies.
Tippy, and Whisky and her kittens,
have exploded that idea. The first
time the kittens loft their box and
began exploring the woodshed
Tippy -dog was there as an interested
spectator-. Mother Whisky sat on
the steps watching her babies on
this their first adventure into the
unknown. Tippy stood near her,
also watching -ears cocked and a
mystified expression on his face as
if wondering what these queer little
things were that were wabbling in
and out around his legs. He fol-
lowed their every movement, smell-
ed them curiously but made abso-
lutely no attempt to touch or molest
them. Whisky, proud that Tippy
should deign to to notice her off-
spring, purred contentedly and rub-
bed herself ingratiatingly against
hint, Naturally, since Tippy and
Whisky are such friends, Whisky
did not transmit any fear of him
to the kittens. So the kittens felt
no enimity towards Tippy because
he was a dog and so there were no
arched backs, or spitting or swear-
ing front any of them.

1t set me thinking ... So often
we hear of children being afraid of
this and that. Would they have
that fear if it were not passed on
to them by older folks? I believe
I am right in saying that the only

fear that is actually instinctive is
the fear of falling, Any other form
of fear is the result of imagination
or unsound reasoning or has been
transmitted by an older person. For
instance, for years X was terrified
in a thunderstorm . , . how could
I have been otherwise when my
mother used to lake me with her
and stay clown in the basement
until the storm was over. I re-
membered this and when our chil-
dren were small no matter how
frightened I was myself, I took
care never to let them know it, or
to do anything that would com-
municate my fear to theist. As a
result I don't think either of them
ever developed the 'east bit of fear
in regard to thunderstorms.
* * *
Now for quite a different topic -
Cicely was showing me some of the
clothes she had brought with' her -
and I was surprised to find how
good they were and how many she
had been able to accumulate. That
is in the way of dresses, coats and
such like. But then we came to
pyjamas -"These would really take
a prize," she explained, "you see
it takes so many coupons for every-
thing we have to buy that we can't
afford to use them on things that
don't show l"
So this is what her pyjamas are
like ... she doesn't mind my tell-
ing you, One pair has Legs made
of ordinary factory cotton, with a
jacket fashioned from an old shirt-
waist blouse of a blue check ma-
terial. The next pair has legs made
from an old pair of casement cur-
tains dyed old rose while the jacket
has been fashioned from an old silk
blouse also dyed rose. They were
both very respectable and decidely
ingenious except that in the dying
process the silk and cotton had come
out in different shades of pink!
One pair has a finishing touch
which I though was particularly
British -as a joke someone had em-
broidered Cicely's initials on the
breastpocket of the makcshif
jacket.
Very Bright Child
Is Usually Sturdy
The extremely bright child is
not usually a physical misfit.
In fact,- he's more likely to be
superior in size, strength, muscular
control and general health to other
children in his age group, says Paul
Witty, professor of education at
Northwestern University.
Witty says the idea that extrem-
ely bright children are "physically
weak, unsocial, bespectacled misfits
has no foundation whatsoever."
s Witty cites a study which traced
the careers of 1,500 "very bright
individuals" from childhood into
adulthood. That and other less ex-
tensive studies support the view
that unusually intelligent children
are usually physically superior also,
he said.
One of the greatest shortcomings
of today's school system is their
failure to recognize and conserve
unusual ability and talents.
Struggling Along
Prices don't seem to go down, do
they, Mrs, Riggs?"
"No, they don't Mrs. Diggs. Like
I was saying to my man the other
night, after we pay our income
taxes, keep up the installments on
our apartment house, buy a few
bonds, put the boys through college
and buy our clothes, what have we
left?"
