They are the largest of all owls, approach- ing the size of an eagle. They stand a good two feet high, and their wings spread as much as five and a half feet. Lacking trees in their Arctic homeland, they alight on knolls and walk along the ground. Their food is chiefly rodents — mice, lemmings. and Arctic hares. In flight they are spectacular. For then their few dark markings do not show, And they appear as snow-white navigators of the sky as they flap away on their great wings with that paradoxical whispering notselessneel, pecul- iar to their kind. if you see one. look hard and rejoice at the opportunity that has been yours. For but Duce 151 four years do many snowy owls wing their way far south into the United States. respondine as they do td the mysterious life -cycle of the lemmings. And because the big owls are extraordinary and because they fly and hunt Jn the daytime as well as at night, few of them, sap.: the National Audubon Society, escapo those who seeing must shoot. Hence few return to their natlue haunts. One of the great values of beau- ty to mankind is that ii m be enjoyed without being i •essed --a truth that applies wife par- ticular force to all the beauties of nature.

Sometimes I wish I knew — a condition of temporary boredom might be restful for a change. What prompted that inquiry? Just this: One day last week there was a dense fog, with a forecast of colder weather.. The roads were icy and naturally the visibility was poor. And yet this is what happened, A cer- tain gentleman was driving to Fergus on business and his wife had planned` to go with hint, When it turned out to be so fog- gy I remarked — "I suppose this awful weather upsets your plans for the day?" To my surprise came the answer, "Oh no, why should I? My husband has to go anyway, I might as well go al- ong for the drive as sit around home doing nothing!" That really= set me back on my heels . to he so bored a long drive in dangerously foggy weather was considered preferable to stay- ing comfortably at home. And bored . . , when there are so many interesting things to see, and hear, and do that one life- time isn't long enough to take them all in. Even what we were doing that day was better than driving around in the fog. Clean- ing furnace pipes, no less. We always clean them at least oncee during the winter, choosing a mild day so we can let the fur- nace out. It is quite a job as there are four elbows and twenty- one lengths of pipe, extending. frons the cellar to the• roof. Gen- erally we don't have too much trouble as Partner has a system that works out pretty well. But this time we had to replace an elbow and one length of pipe — and do you think they would fit together. I'm telling you we were quite warm enough even with the fut'nace out! But herr, is something I must tell you girls.

'have 'o•r enticed there is a reestler epl- dentic of conventions jlir't now? As Mr. Wats,,s Porter observed. "it would be unwise 10 eine any more farm organirttinns for.tllere. aren't shy dates left to hold the annual conventions!" However, the ones. that are, or have, been held, deserve more than casual attention. If we cannot attend these conventions we can at least read about them and by so doing keep ourselves abreast of agri- cultural activities, Personally 1 am hoping that something will be done to stop the "softening up" propoganda the! farm folk ate being subjected to be' prest and radia. We are told that sari income 1s dropping -- as if we - ISSUE 8 — 1054 didn't know it -, that cattle prices are dawn; the . mat'ket flooded with milk; potatoes al- most at the give-away level and more along the same lirfes,' So what happens? Having been schooled to .expect lower prices, when. we. have something to. sell we accept what we get with gratie tude, thankful it isn't any less. It is a psychological angle that has its effect upon producer and consumer alike. I don't like it. It is the basis for underselling and cut-rate„ prices. But on with the show. Other activities in the planning stage are Folk Schools and Kate Ait- kin's Hobby Show. I think• the Hobby Show was a, wonderful idea. To anyone interested in hobbies It is inspirational to see what other folk ate accomplish- ing — a hobby quite often devel- ops into a profitable side -line. A woman not far from here started pottery work as a hobby, now she is working on a commercial basis and has more orders than she can handle. And then we have the Folk Schools, of special interest to farm folk generally and to young people in particular. Folk schools are gaining in popularity combining as they do fun and education; social activities and historical research; religious ob- servance and cult u r a 1 pro- grammes. Many young folk who could go to Folk School fail to do so because they don't know what it is all about. There is one good way to find -out — go to it. Experience is still the best teacher.

Path Of Love Is Often Bumpy.. The path of true love can be pretty bumpy at times, but it is smooth compared to the path oe true hate. When two love- birds tura into battling bantams, It's every roan (and woman) for himself, Consider the grounds for div- orce that turned up in divorce courts in 1953. It's a perfect ex- ample of man's inhumanity to woman, and vice versa, Let's start with Mrs. Doris Lindsay, of; Boston, who had a pretty good reason to want a divorce. She told the judge that her husband hit her in the face with a cat, rubbed her face with a fish and locked her in the pantry with . a mouse, Animals play a big part in divorces, Walter Sprinkel got a divorce when he told: the judge his wife insisted on taking her Bets to bed with her. But the - cat was on the other foot in .Detroit, where Mrs. Betha Dren- ning said that her husband took the cat to bed with him, When the cat bit her on the foot,, Drenning forced her to apologize to it. It was a dog that shattered the marital bliss of the Boos, Mrs. Goldie Boo said that her hus- band insisted on having Tootsie, her little pup, sit at the break - exist table and lap up his coffee.' And another type of living thing sent Cupid scurrying for his life from the Kenneth Nor- ton household. Mrs. Norton said that her husband spent all his pay on food for his 10,000 earth- worms. A London man got his div- orce when he told how his lit- tle woman kicked him, bit him, threw a poker at him, broke -a pot over his head and stuck a knife in his back. One Merrick Gillroy was a little apprehensive when he no- ticed that his wife went to bed with a butcher knife tucked handily beneath her pillow. Gil- lory said he couldn't sleep. He got his divorce.' Cruelty often assumed strange shapes. In Miami, Mr•s, Doris Denio sued for divorce because her husband dyed his hair green. Denio is an entertainer, but his wife said that green hair, no matter what the excuse, doesn't. contribute to the peace and happiness of a marriage. A Chicago wife got a divorce because she swiped her hus- band's toupee. After Mrs. Helen Lucas took it — as a precaution so he wouldn't date another wo- man — her husband beat her when she wouldn't tell him where she hid it. One marriage that had a close shave — then lost — was that of some Browns. A Mrs. Frank Brown told the judge that her husband .forced her to shave lthn every day for 13 years, • Husbands' laziness Is frequent- ly cited as grounds for divorce. Mrs. Erma Gentle said .her bus, band exercised so much with dumb -belga he was too exhaust- ed for anything, else, And, Mrs. Bessie Sigel declared that her husband made her serve him hid oneals;' out into bite -size mor- sels, as he reclined on the couch. On the other hand, a hus- band was granted a divorce be- cause, he aalrrthed. his wife play- ed skittles on •Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights as well as on Sunday afternoons, Among the oldest couples to split were the Koehs, Mrs. Marie Kochs, 8Q, ..won a divorce by testifyingthat her 80 -year-old husband let her lie without help for four months after she fell down stairs, "Those things add up," she said. And probably, the shortest - lived marriage to end in 1953 was that of the Hughletts. Mrs, Lillian Hughlett won her div- orce when she told how her marriage.went sour a few hours after they were united. It hap- pened as they began their honeymoon and stopped to eat. Her husband wouldn't let her put lemon in her tea. Divorce granted. REAL POVERTY A well-known woman was famous for her charity to those' less fortunate than herself. She couldn't bear to know of the distress of others without doing something to relieve it, She re- turned to her table In a night club recently and informed her husband that she had just given $100 to the woman in charge of the ladies' cloak -room. "What's the matter with you?" asked her husband, a n g r i 1 y. "What's the idea of spending money like that?" The woman's eyes began to dim with tears. "The poor thing," she explained, "told me she had no television set."
