Of Empty Pops Bottles 1f you're one of those movie- goers who bristles at the sight of tent -like hats and voluminous hair do's, or you're upset by au- dience chatter, the Canadian mining town of Val d'Or will give You full irritation value. . Joan Walker, an English bride who went out to Val d'Or with her Canadian husband after the war, discovered that a, visit - to the movies was regarded as an occasion for a get-together of friends to exchange knitting pat- terns and cake recipes, When pangs of hunger or thirst assailed the audience.— as they did with surprising frequency they left the movie to visit a nearby restaurant and, after stocking up with liberal supplies of pop, ice-cream cones, peanuts apd, pop -corn, returned to their - seats. Paper wrappings were remov- ed, rolled up' tightly into balls and neatly flipped down the au- ditorium. Peanut shells were either dropped to the floor, or stored in• the collars of coats thrown over the bac19 of the seats by people in front. 'But the real highlight of the' "get rid of it" game, records Joan Walker in her hilarious and high- spirited book "Pardon My Parka" is the simple method of disposing of empty pop bottles. They are rolled from the back row to . the'front along the con- crete floor. If a bottle hits your ankle, you give it a quick kick and speed it on its appointed route, The author tells a , delightful story concerning. Rosie Brown, • one-time citizen of Kirkland Lake, Rosie was the owner of sever- al broken-down shacks. These, according to the law, were sub- ject to city taxes; but the owner thought up an effective way of eluding the tat collector. When the City Fathers became really. het up with her for non- payment she would , deed the property to the Royal. Family, covet; the front of the dwelling with • Union 'Jacks, and affix a hand -painted sign: "A gift to H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth from her loyal subject Rbse Brown." No '•Pressure -sales' In Afghanistan- I had always heard that the Hazarajat is the place to find good Afghanfelt, 'and, since I wanted some, I was watching for. it in the villages that we passed through. I saw some very fine pieces in the villages near Warns Pass, and tried to buy them. But both Simrah and the villagers assured me that I would see much better in the bazaar at Panjao, When we got there I found no felt at all. Suspecting that I was about to duplicate a similar fu- tile search for dry -tanned "deer- skin" mocassins in Badakhshan, I • mentioned to the Janjao gov- ernor during one of our conver- sations that I would like to buy a piece of good felt, He said :that the very best place to find it was a certain village farther along our trail toward Uni' Pass, and that he would' send a messenger - there to have somewaiting for us.- Of 'course . at . the . appointed village no onehad ever heiltrd of the governor's messenger, :or my desire for felt. The Villagers there, not knowing 'from whence we came, said that the very 'best place to find good felt was back near Warns Pass. Commonly,in these, _isolated districts, when one wishes t0 buy en article, one is told either that much ]Tetter can be found else- where, or else that it is the wrong season to buy. There are probably, two reasons for this. First, one can seldom go into a shop (even where there are shops), and select such articles as felt, Or ':deerskin" boots. These things ordinarily are not for sale. They are made only by the indi- viduals, or families, who expect to use thein, and it is necessary to persuade these individuals to part with personal belongings that they need for themselves, Again, certain villages gain rep- utations, often :justified, of pro- ducing the best articles, A vil- lage woman some winter may outdo herself, and by unusually hard work produce an exception- ally fine' piece of felt. Thereaf- ter her village becomes 'known as "the home 'Of the very best," regardless of the quality of past or future products. Often when we were directed somewhere else to find what we wanted, it was to same much "home of the very best" More often, however, en such occasions, it was probably only the desire 10 be rid Of a nuisance that prompted them to direst as 'elsewhere. For gener- ally they have , only what they need, . and they .do not want it taken from them.'

The land is unbelievably dry. In pasture fields there are deep cracks all over the place. Those cracks . . it still gives me a queer feeling to see them. When X was very young my brothers used to tell me to be careful — those cracks in the earth indi- cated the possibility that an earthquake might came without warning and where there were extra big cracks the earth might suddenly split wide open and swallow me upl That was the one of the unnecessary fears that I carried around with me in my childhood. Children some- times become .timid and have- nightmares avenightmares because of just such frightening stories. If a child shows signs of 'being unduly nervous _ it is possible that fur - there trouble might be avoided if the young mother made a de- termined effort to discover the reason for her child's hidden fear and it generally is hid- den, • But back to the land. We . are having some field work done on our farm this year. Our young friend John, on a farm about ten miles from here,, wanted to . put our twelve -acre front field into oats, That he has done. Last Saturday he cable along with •a girl to ,drive the tractor on the cultivator while he drove a team of horses on the drill, He left the horses here over the week -end ready for harrowing on Monday. We found it strange to see horses in our barn again and neither Partner nor I were too happy in watering them. I led Grey out whilePartnerfol- lowed with Sandy. With :only a halter on his head Grey gave me a queer, helpless feeling. I knew if he decided to cut up I couldn't control him. Arid because of chronic neuritis in one aria, Partner had much the same feeling. We still like horses •= with someone else to handle them! For ourselves we feel more at home now with the car and tractor. Johnny much prefers horses, although he has a tractor_to0. He says by using the tractor add the horses he has put in thirty acres of crop and used only fifty gallons of gas. I suppose some farmers think one way, some another. Driving along a road in Peel county last week I saw one farm where two teams were being used while just across the road there were no less than three tractors, in one field. It would be interesting to follow that up and find put the net re- turns from both fields. Another thing I noticed in Pell. I, was on a gravel road; the dust was terrific and the whole district seemed more or less twenty-five years behind the times. Actually, no industrial developments, no housing sub- divisions, nO paved roads, just farm land,some well cultivated, some i10t. But I wasn't deceived. T knew that five miles further ton. it ,was; a defferent story. On the uncared for land' that I was passing there was generally a new house, the owner commut- ing back and forth to Melton or Brampton. Another day I was in North Haltdn and ;tie country had a genuine farm look — if you un- derstand what I' mean. The houses had a "lived-in" appear- ance, and the churches, schools and graveyards were tidy and well cared -fOr as if the com- munity took pride in keeping them that wey. And the wo- men must be wonderful house- keepers. That was obvious by the lunch that Was served that day to the W.I. representative Attending the District Annual, How different from the average restaurant meal -- and at half the price. There were borne - made rolls "like mother used to make." We heard afterwards that one of the ladies made no' less than 460 rolls! Now the district annual is over W.I. activities --"except for Branch meetings have suer e or less come to an end, Which is That as . well as there comes a time in the lives of farm women when too many demands .upon their time becoming a burden. There is so much extra work at thistime of the year that hay- ing and ay-ing'and harvest is upon us be- fore we can turn around. With the busy season upon us X am. wondering what is going to happendown town , where we de our shopping. For years Sat- urday night has been practical- ly an institution in this district, Farmers, along with their fami- lies, get into 'good' clothes and drive to town — to shop and to visit until ten or eleven at night. The week's Work is behind them, Sunday ahead of them, so, that Saturday night is very definite- ly a time of relaxation. Now the merchants down town have decreed that Friday is to be open night. Saturday they ,will close at six, They can'tsee that it will make any difference to farm folk — farmers can conte in Friday night just as easily as Saturday.. That we shall see -- the innovation comes into effect next Saturday. It will not O us ao all astyNe rarely do do`our shopping at nigh Never- theless I hate to see farm folk deprived of this innocent pas- time — the social Saturday night. One thing I am sure of — Friday night will never take the place of Saturday night It isn't the same thing at all, WE KNOW THE LINE! He was travelling on a rail- way line that was noted for its discomfort and slowness. After he had been an hour ac- complishing a journey of Only a few miles, he eventually reached the terminus. "Well," he said to the ticket - inspector at the barrier, "thank goodness the worst part of the journey is over." The inspector looked interest- ed. "Is that so, sir?" he said. "And where, if it's not a rude ques- tion, are you bound for?"
