Some weeks on a farm nothing
gots right -everything wrong that
can happen does happen. But not
last week -the only thing not ac-
cording to schedule was one of
our cows getting in with the hei-
fers -generally if the cattle get
:nixed up at all it is because a
heifer jumps .a fence and gets in
with the cows.
* * 9:
Maybe Partner might not agree
with the foregoing statement as he
was busy most of the week clean-
ing out the barnyard - with the
tractor hitched on to the spreader.
Apparently backing into the barn-
yard was quite a tricky business and
there were times when I heard
Partner talking to himself with
considerable fluency . , . "of all
the contary contraptions . why
did 1 ever think I wanted a tractor
with horses I'd have had the
spreader backed in and half a load
on by now." One day he even had
an audience -although at the time
he didn't know it! I had a friend
spending the day with me and
while I was getting dinner she
took a stroll around the farm.
Partner was teased unmercifully at
dinner -time as she would not tell
him how long she had been watch-
ing him -and listening,'
*
]However it really has been a nice
week - weather just pleasantly
warm and sunny - except one day
when it was raining most of the
titne. That, of course, was the day
of our W.I. meeting so my freshly
washed car got splattered with
mud from end to end. We also had
the census enumerator for dinner
that day, and the poor dear looked
tired out. Believe me, anyone who
works for the government on some
of these temporary jobs deserves
every cent they are paid. But of
course, it depends on the job.
For instance, according to press
reports, Mayor McCallum is receiv-
ing $25 a day, plus travelling ex-
penses, as Consumer Representa-
tive on the Milk Board, for every
day the Board meets -and it has
already had twelve meetings, Looks
as if there is an easier way of get-
ting money out of cows than by
milking then, And with no danger
of having the cows' tails flipped
across your face, or of almost liter-
ally having to bath the cows before
you start earning your money. 01i
well . , . I suppose that's tine way
of the world,

ikriends from tine city often bring
forth many a smile. A few weeks
ago Partner had the lane freshly
gravelled and to stake cars and
trucks keep to the centre of the
lane Ile placed a few large stones
along either side. Apparently he
ran out of rocks and used two or
three blocks of wood instead. ,One
visitor said she thought we had
been drawing stovewood and some
of it had dropped off, Another
picket) up one of the blocks and
wondered should she bring it up

Sunday morning Partner and I
attended the 13Ist Anniversary
Service at Boston Church -a beau-
tiful little Country Church in the
centre of this community. The
church was filled to capacity. Au-
nivers:u'y Sunday always brings out
a large congregation as so many
who 'have left the district come
back for this particular clay. Al- .
ways there seems a special appeal
in the country- churches of pioneer
settlements. There, in the adjoin-
ing churchyard, are the graves of
the predecessors of many of those
who were attending church that
day. You could almost feel their
presence in the lovely old church -
taking part in the prayers and the
hymns, and maybe listening to the
sermon with a strange wonderment.
The visiting minister was the Rev.
Fred Douglas. Toronto -and he
was a very fluent and forceful
speaker.
He told us that recently h the
II,S,A, a Gallup poll was taken in
answer to the question -"What is
the most important factor in your
life today?" Eight per cent had
answered "God" -fifty-six per cent,
"Social Security!" Mr. Douglas said
that fifty years ago the figures
would probably have been exactly
the reverse, as in those days there
was more concern for the soul and
less for the material things of life.
* e *
Another pertinent question was
this -"Communists deny the exist-
ence of God .. . but how much
better are we who merely ignore
Hint?"
4, * *
If it were possible to take an
honest Gallup poll in a Communist
country I wonder what would the
answer to the sante question that
was asked in Democratic America -
"What is the most important facto' ,
in your life today?" Maybe the an-
swers might surprise us,
Many Uses For
Kitchen Shears
Of cottr a you use your kitchen
shears for mincing parsley and
chives, cutting up salad greens,
green pepper, • etc., for salads, but
do you also use them for:
1. Cutting large pieces of raw
neat into smaller pieces?
2, Cutting' large fish fillets into
serving -size pieces before sauteing?
3. Cutting yeast dough into uni-
form pieces before shaping into
rolls?
4. Snipping off overlapping pie -
crust after it has been placed in the
plate?
5, For culling ftp candied fruits,
such as orange and lemon peels,
citron, and cherries?
6. Removing neck and wing tips
from poultry?
7. Cutting taffy or other pulled
candy into pieces? Wetting shears
first helps here. '
8. Opening boiled lobsters? Cut
a slit through entire length of tail
and body and break away the flesh
in one piece, starting at the tail.
9. Cutting up giblets for gravy?
10. (rutting crusts from slices of
bread?
11, Cutting up cold cooked
chicken or other meat for salads,
etc,?
12, Cutting snap beans?

SUMMER
Truro the vantage point of June
we can loult back on the greater
part of spring, even thought the
summer solstice still lies ahead.
Looking hack, with a wealth of
fresh peonies around us, and with
a rainbow of iris and a garland
of roses that make the Heart leap,
we can say that it was one of the
most beautiful springs in years.
Ours is a fortunate region. Some
Places have little or no spring, win-
ter holding on too long and summer
ar'r'iving too early. But our winter
usually eases away, as it did this
year, and the trees have time to
leaf out leisurely and the field
flowers to tale their turn. That,
after all, is what makes a spring -
the leisurely leaf and the flowering
fields and uplands, the sprouting
and the first strong growth that
reaches toward summer and matur-
ity.
So, because the frosts died early,
we have had a spring that was a
new and growing miracle week by
week. The violets were like a pur-
ple haze, so many, so big and so
full of color. Dogwood spangled
the woods with shimmering beauty.
Lilacs outdid themselves and made
the evenings heady with their fra-
grance. The fruit trees were lavish
with their blossoms. Chokecherry
now stands full of flower clusters
and bees, and the honey locust
fairly drips with blossom and sweet-
ness. Blackberries are like white
cascades of petals. Buttercup and
hawkweed gild the meadow.
Morning after May morning it
seemed that spring had, reached
its climax; and yet by evening the
maple leaves were larger still, the
Vass was taller, the blossoms had
increased their number. The mir-
acle continued, as though to over-
ride human doubt and worry. And
BOW we have Jure, and summer,
for which springwas only prepar-
ation.
_From 'Tile New York Times.
Forty-five years ago Angelo de
Angelis of Avezzano, in Italy, was
in the United States- While there
he mailed a parcel of baby clothes
to his wife in Italy for their son.
It didn't turn up until the other
day, when it came back to Angelis.
Forty-five years too late for the
son, the clothes, however, fit An-
gelis' grandson perfectly.

"'Things aren't what they used to

WJ'ite a book." 'Phis statement
sounds modern but actually it is
the oldest known piece of writing
in the world. It is 011 an ancient
piece of papyrus in the museum of
Constantinople, People talk much
the same today.
When a young person goer
wrong, ask these pertinent ques-
tions. Did Iris mother and grand-
mother have the unfeigned faith.
that Timothy's had? Was he given •
a knowledge of the holy scriptures
from a child as Timothy was? If
• the e'hild did not have these the
cause of his fault lies largely with
. liis ancestors. God visits "the ini-
quity of the fathers upon the chil-
dren unto the third and fourth
generation." Ex, 20;5. The laws of
heredity' illustrate this to be true.
The relation of husband and wife
is beautifully illustrated by the
relation of Christ and the church,
God said to Eve after the fall,
"Thy desire shall be to thy hus-
band, and Ire shall rule over thee."
The arrangement whereby tic. hus-
band is not the head of the home is
unnatural. The husband tends to
belittle himself, the wife becomes
overbearing and the family does not
command the respect of the com-
munity. But we must also. note
that husbands are to love their
wives as Christ loved the Church
and gave Himself for it. One can-
not conceive of a domineering hus-
band in that pattern. He takes the
heavy end. He Loves. He gives.
Children are to obey in the Lord
their parents and honour ahem, But
God has the right to first place in
the child's affections. The parents
in turn are not to provoke their
children to wrath but to bring then
me in the nurture and admonition
of the Lord,
What a responsibility to be a
parent. The child can quickly de-
tect hypocrisy. lie can likewise dis-
cern between brutal punishment
and godly chastisement. To give
your child the hest opportunity you
must be a Christian.
