Except for trees and shrubs growth is at a standstill. We hate to lose the sunshine but we know a nice, gentle rain is what we ac- tually need. Fine weather brought us four visitors yesterday but it also re- duced our regular family by one. That is to say Bob is away on a construction job north of here - back to the job he likes -as power shovel operator, working on a new road that is in the process of be- ing built. Which brings Partner and I back to the Darby and Joan stage once again. And then this Joan took a day off last Friday to attend the W.I. Officer's Rally in Guelph, This Officers Rally has become an event which few delegates like to miss. In fact attendance has ex- ceeded accomodation at the O.A.C. so that the overflow had to be . boarded out at hotels in the city. Most W.I. members will hear highlights of the event from re- ports by their own Branch offi- cers so 1 confine myself mostly to personal impressions. My first impression was a realiz- ation of the interest, the loyalty and the strength of the \V.1. in Ontario. How could one think otherwise when 1,100 women were willing to leave their homes at House-cleaning tine? 1 was also struck with their intelligent grasp of the many problems that were presented and discussed. For in- stance, women were really inter- ested when. Mr. Stothers, of the Public Relations Branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. out- lined the way in which secretaries and treasurers should- handle the business affairs of the Brandt en- trusted to their care. A mimeo- graphed copy of his informative ad- dress will be available to W.I. sec- retary -treasurers throughout the province. The rest of the forenoon was taken up with group discussions of officers' work and problems, fol- lowed by a panel discussion in the atternoon, at which the group leaders summarized their findings, and discussed merits and disad- santages of the practices that had been discussed, ;One contentious question created a good deal of interest -"Should the District An- nual be used as a get-to-gether for anniversaries and for hearing guest speakers?" The majority ruled that the District Annual should be al- most entirely a business meeting. So that's that, ladies -no more an- niversaries or speakers at your District Annualsl In regard to Branch meetings it was agreed that guest speakers sometimes provided a stimulus but that having guest speakers too of- ten frequently created lazy mem- bers. To prevent this local talent should be developed to the limit, for one reason the surest way to maintain.. interest among the mem- bers was to keep them busy. Re- ferring to the officers it was said "the president. provides the inspir- ation and the secretary the pers- piration." A pleasing highlight of the af- ternoon was alt address on "Leader- ship" by Miss Ethel Chapman, formerly women's editor of the Farmer's Magazine but now ap- pointed to the staff of the Provin- cial W.I, "Almost everyone has some way in which she can be a leader," said Miss Chapman. "There are, of course, different types of leaders but most of them can be found in every local Branch. There will be one person who can make better pies than anyone else, an- other who is splendid at getting up a paper; or as convenor for ban- quets or programmes. Or itt music, . quilting or speaking -almost every person in every Institute has some special talent. Sometimes it is ob- vious but there are times when it has to be discovered and develop- ed." Miss Chapman thought one good way for discovering hidden talent was to provide more oppor- tunity for discussion at W.I. meet- ings. It not only brought out ideas but was good training "for think- ing on your feet:" The speaker made other pungent remarks -Op- portunities for leadership often seemed greater in backward areas; in more thickly populated places leadership was often only the re- sult of doing the job nearest to you; a leader should let her fellow - members in on her plans; the bet- ter types of leader is also a good follower; she likes and is interested in people, and she is never afraid to be friendly." Miss Chapman mentioned that Rural service by the Victorian Or- der of Nurses was the result of good leadership in Lincoln County. It was a splendid and inspiring address -1 was not surprised to hear two women behind me say one to the other -":.hiss Chapman is good, isn't site?" "Yes, what she says is so worth- while and she is always so easy to listen to." I might add, they are my sen- tintents too.

Be- sides the labor and expense involv- ed, there is often tate likelihood that soil diseases and undesirable weed seeds may be introduced. In view of these obvious shortcomings, certain other disadvantages of using topsoil purchased from ou tside sources must be taken into account. Despite the problems it may in- tensify, there are numerous cases in which the use of topsoil may be the only feasible alternative. It may often be employed in such operations as grading, and to re- place earth which has been lost through the normal process of erosion, In fact, in many sandy lo- cations, especially near the sea- shore, regular replenishment of soil is almost a necessity because of the unusual conditions encoun- tered there. Then, too, many gar- deners want a supply of topsoil for spreading top -dressings. Beware of Weeds Since the composition of topsoil may vary very widely from one location to another, there exist few fixed standards by which the in- experienced buyer may be guided. Countless truckloads. of material sold as topsoil have possessed the most unhappy faculty of growing the most luxurient stands of poison ivy, sour grass and assorted swamp flora. In such cases. the good earth may well prove more a blight than a boom. Users of , topsoil in quantity, such as municipalities and land- scape contractors, have established minimum standards to describe the product. It should consist of, a balanced mixture of no more than 30 per cent each of sand, clay and silt, The acid content sbould be within the pH range of 5 and 7, and a minimum of 6 per cent should be natural, decomposed or- ganic matte r. Furthermore, it should contain no wood, rocks, large roots, or foreign natter of any hind. Only the upper layer, minus the sod is acceptable. Lumps of hardpan or subsoil are looked on with disfavor. From the viewpoint of determin- ing optimum texture, the screen test is highly significant. When thoroughly dry, 99 per cent should pass through a one -inch screen, and not more than 3 per cent should be retained by a quarter - inch mesh. Front 40 to 60 per cent should drop through a sieve with openings the size of insect mesh. Visit to Source This is not intended to imply that the home owner must be a soil technologist in order to pur- chase topsoil. Nevertheless, some preliminary investigation is war- ranted before placing an order. If the dealer has a reputation for re- liability, a personal visit to the source of supply may be sufficient. Earth dug from the tops of knolls and similar high spots should be avoided, for such locations may contain shallow deposits with a high sand and gravel content, from which much of the organic nutri- ments may have been leached out. Low, wet land should also make the buyer skeptical; it may have excessively sour soil. Topsoil is usually sold by the cubic yard; or by the truckload with the cubic content specifically indicated, Sinee quotations will vary with haulage distances; price conrparisOns should be oracle ant* ong neighboring dealers. And when ordering, it should be understood that the soil is not to be delivered in a frozen or muddy state. A little advance planning 'nay save tuauy extra steps and un- necessary work. The home owner should arrange to have the con- signment unloaded where it is both convenient' and accessible, This may mean laying out planking over which the truck may pass, or clearing away obstrlietions, Soilt should not be piled near open drains, where it may wash away during a rainstorm. Neither should it' be allowed to lie on lawns for any length of time, since the grass beneath may burn, Famous Beds "And so to bed ..." often wrote Pepys, the celebrated diarist; and no doubt with the ending of his day's labour be suited the action to the word by snuggly tt(e�king hitnself up in Isis spacious, cat'bpied bed. There, revelling in the- luxurious softness of his resting-plece, richly hung with red damask, trimmed with fine fringes, the 'great man perhaps did dwell an the day that was past and the morrow to be. Tut-ank-Amen's consort, too, the lady Ankhesenamun, had a' magnifi- cent bed. It rested upon a pair of • finely carved enlongated ` heraldic lions, and bad ornate drapings of finely woven linen spread over a palliasse. No soft downy pillow for her; the lady preterred.to sleep on a hard neck-restof wood Gold and white was the colour - scheme of Napoleon's Josephine's bedroom, with hangings of yellow satin and bed -cover of green. i Visitors to the Ideal Home Exhi- bition in Olympia in London this year have an opportunity of seeing per feet reproductions of these and other historic beds and bedrc ,ms. Mr. Pickwick must have been blessed with some form of radar to find his way about in the darkt His bedroom is crowded with or- namentation and furnishings; the bed an elaborate creation of brass, with curtain of rich bottle -green silk and velvet. Providing a setting fdr this splendour is a rich wallpaper liberally sprinkled with rambling roses and green leaves.
