Alas, • in our memories we had forgotten how small the berries were and how long it takes to fill a quart box Incidentally our "in-laws" apparently had forgotten, too, be- cause they brought enough con- tainers to require several days steady picking , 4, a BE that as it may, we did choose a delightful hot sunny day, and the countryside was at its best , , . Our hosts took us to a far corner of the orchard- where we had seen numerous strawberry blossoms on en earlier visit . . . And sure enough, as soon as we got out of the car. we knelt down --anal there were the berries—small to be sure, but still luscious, deep red berries with a fragrance. in both smell and taste whicTi"is' just out of this world . , c: * EVERYTHING was wonderful! What is there about country air, that even we, in Clinton—so close to it, do not realize until we experience it? , . The air, the sun, and the wind blowing through our hair, the smell of new mown hay and the straw- berries were all thoroughly en- joyable We felt years drop off our shoulders -we were young again , • * * * AR! but there was a catch TO this idealistic picture . . . Our method of picking was a bit un- conventional . . . We bent from the hips down -with knees un- bent—you know, Iike you do in P.C. when you, touch the floor with your hands . . . Good for the . figure, you'll say, and we thought of that too. when we started doing it . But that wasn't the reason, for this unorthodox method of picking , We don't mind snakes—but we like to meet them head on . , . An experience of picking wild strawberries on the Bruce Peninsula years ago taught us to guard against any rear invasion . , At that time, we sat comfortably on a rotted log while filling our basket - .

Good Collection The historical committee re- ported that Mr. Gooding, of the Royal Ontario Museum, after a visit to Huron County Museum, had stated the latter contained the best collection of pioneer tools and implements in the province. The building was good, and Cur- ator J. H. Neill was making an excellent job of placing articles. A tentative date for opening hes been set for July 4. G. H. Jefferson, Clinton, and C. E. Asquith, Auburn, members of the museum committee spoke. Mr. Jefferson hoped council would devise a plan whereby children would get the benefit of the col- lection. Mr. Asquith stated the commit- tee is handicapped because there is no museum act, He" said hist- orical sites in Huron will be list- ed; and that the University of Western Ontario would assist in compiling histories of John Gale, Col. Van Egmond and Col. "Tiger" Dunlop. it was so close we turned to look —and there was a rattle snake curled on the log an inch away with its head up and tongue out We never moved so fast be- fore or since . So you can understand our desire that there be no such repetition , . , * * OUR method was ideal for the first two hours and we picked about three quarters of a box of berries , . . Then we gradually found it more and more difficult to straighten up to a standing position and we were quite ge- lighted when our hosts suggested a cool iced drink, which turned out to be a hot chicken dinner Such is the graciousness of farm hosts and hostesses , - , * m * REVIVED by good food and refreshed by the cool breeze on the sun porch, we were ready for another go at the straw- berries After the first hour, we could hardly bend either up or down—so we called it quits Our 'hostess provided us with en electric heating pad—which is her "cure -all" -awhile we reclin- ed on the chesterfield, while a- waiting the return of the other pickers , . k * * IN spite of some stiffness the next 'day and several hours work in preparing our Verities', we have five jars of wild strawberry jam and we experienced one of the most pleasant afternoons and evenings we have enjoyed in many a moon . . . Those five jars are precious --and it will take a very special guest for us to open one of them . • ♦�i i • et4 .`P `a 10. +'4 4`. fe.c Westinghouse' 8 CUBIC FOOT REFRIGERATOR Super -Accurate Cold Control ...

County Council at the June Session when Huron County home committee recommended that the name of the institution south of Clinton, be changed to "Huronco Manor," im compliance with a request from the Depart- ment "of Welafre requesting a change in the name, and recom- mended by the inspector. A motion by Reeves E. S. Snyder, Col:yorne, and W. J. Dale, Hullett, that the name "Huron County Home" be retained, was endorsed. Reeve F. S, Sills, Seaforth, ask- ed "Why the change? It is a home for the aged, and there is nothing wrong with it." He strongly urged the need for additional accommodation., and said he proposed to bring in a motion that, in view of the de- benture debt on the new court- house will be. paid off this year, $50,000 each year for three years be set aside for .the purpose of building an addition including a. hospital. Mr. Sills pointed out that there are people in the home who should have care in the Ontario Hospital; and the county has been paying for patients outside of Huron at the rate of $3 a day for each. Reeves E. Finnigan, E. H. Strong, Elmer Webster, Welling- ton Brock, J. H. Graham and the chairman of the committee, A. W. Kerslake, spoke in favor of the additional accommodation. Addition Planned Council approved the recom- mendation of the Warden's com- mittee authorizing the setting aside of $50,000 each year for three years to be used for an addition to the County Home and for the chronically ill, that it be referred to the County Home Committee to report at November session, Election of Warden Also, that in the selection of a warden,. that every member be enabled to vote, and to alternate. as in the past.
