• While blasting caps are very
useful accessories in the detona-
tion of high explosives used in
construction, mining and quar-
rying, they can kill or maim if
they fall into improper hands.
• * 5
Spring and summer are the
two periods of the year' when
blasting cap danger is most
acute. Construction work is in
lull swing in both urban and
rural communities and children
gravitate to such activity to
watch, play and often meddle:
Blasting caps which may be left
around by careless workers are
picked up or pilfered from con-
struction shacks. Results ap-
pear in newspaper ' headlines:
blindness, fingers torn off, death.
5 * 5
According to authorities of
the explosives division of Cana-
dian Industries Limited, blast-
ing cap accidenth are sometimes
caused by striking a cap with
a stone or hammer. Others
have resulted from holding a
lighted match to a cap or throw-
ing it into a bonfire. Picking at
the sensitive explosives in a
cap with a pin or nail may also
cause it to explode..
* 55
If blasting caps are found by
children, the experts warn, they
should not be touched but im-
mediately reported to their
parents, teacher, police or con-
struction crews. Pending the
arrival of soemone in author-
ity who can dispose of them,
.they should be placed in a safe
place away from heat and out
of the reach of children.
* e ,N
There are two main types of
blasting cap: those for use with
safety fuse and those set off
electrically. About 11/2 inches
long, and made of aluminum,
the type for use with safety fuse
has an open end and is deton-
ated by the spit of flame from
the safety fuse. Electric blasting
caps have two wires covered
with colored insulation extend-
ing out, of one end so they can
be fired by an electric current.
The cap shells are made of
either copper or aluminum and
may be from one to five inches
long. Some are colored either
red or green. Both types may
be recognized as small metal
cylinders slightly smaller in
diameter than a lead pencil.
Both .are loaded with a power-
ful and sensitive explosives
charge.

By loosening of subsoil and
proper fertilization, plant roots
can be coaxed into penetrating
deeper into the ground where
they get at and use water found
at these depths.
st * 5
In a six-year series of ex-
periments by agronomists of
Purdue University, loosening
of subsoil to a depth of 20
inches and supplying complete
fertilizer to it can induce plant
roots to descend further down.
*The experiments showed that
the loosening of subsoil is best
done in the late summer and
early fallwhen subsoils are dry
and shatter easily. The fertiliz-
er is applied in a vertica, band
from the plow sole down to the
maxinnun depth of the opera-
tion,
The Purdue agronomists point
out that in years of unfavorable
rainfall, the soil moisture is not
sufficient to give maximum
yields. The roots of crops often
do not pentrate deeply enough
to make use of reserves of soil
moisture stored there. They at-
tribute this condition. to dense
subsoils very low in available
nutrients.
M 5
When fertilizer is placed in
the subsoil, roots of the plants
will concentrate in the grooves
that are thus formed and will
help maintain aggregates in
the subsoil Subsoil that has
been loosened but not fertilized
will ' fregt:ently wash together
and the looseness will be lost
within less than a year, the ex-
periments indicated.
• * „
Another advantage shown up
by the tests is that water ac-
cumulates in the suboil because
of the open grooves while in
unloosened soil much more
rain water runs off superficially
and is lost to the plant in the
coming season. Furthermore,
since loosening of the soil and
application of fertilizer was fol-
lowed by an increased growth
in the roots, benefits of subsoil
fertilization increases from year
to year as the subsoil is im-
proved both physically and
chemically.
N * *
While silos have been a fa-
miliar landmark on the Cana-
dian farm scene for many years,
little progress had been made
In reducing loss of silage, par-
ticularly by spoilage.
Recently, a new chemical pre-
servative, sodium metabisul-
phite, has been introduced
which is showing great efficien-
cy in converting crop isnto milk
and meat via silage. Not only
does' this chemical help in pre-
venting burning up of nutrients
in the forage, but also renders
the silage more palatable which
makes the cattle eat more and
thus increases milk and meat
production. The unpleasant odor
usually associated with silage
is also reduced,
N G 5
Another current advance in
silos is the introduction of
silos made of polythene plastic
sheeting. These are capable of
providing a high quality silage
for feeding in relatively small
quantities, up to '75 tons. They
can be used at off-season times
and in out -of -way places where
feeding of separate groups of
animals may be desired.
R: * ,N
The greatest benefit in using
polythene sheet silos is gained
from their gas-tight character-
istic. Quick sealing after filling
permits the rapid establishment
and maintenance of anaerobic
conditions inside the plastic bag.
These in turn prevent mold
growth, limit temperature rise,
hold dry matter losses to a
minimum and encourage re-
tention of caratone and protein
in the silage.
Well, Where Are They?
Mrs. McGregor: "Are you the
young man who jumped into.
the pond and hauled my son out
as he was going down for the
third time?"
Young Marr: "Yes, ma'am."
Mrs, McGregor: "Where's his

BY THE DOZEN - Six Dutch immigrant couplesare signing the registry in Blenheim, Ont., after
being married in the biggest one -family wedding ceremony in modern Canadian history. Four
of the brides and two of the grooms are children of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Dorsser who came to
Canada from The Netherlands two years ago.
Our Best -Known
Sportscaster
A b o u t the only nationally -
known Canadian sportscaster -
easily equal to top-notch U.S.
mike -men Mel Allen, Bill Stern
or Tom Harmon - is Toronto's
Foster Hewitt. Undoubtedly the
dean of Canadian sportscasters,
Hewitt has been in r a di o 33
years, possibly longer than any-
one. He has broadcast descrip-
tions of over 3,000 hockey games.
Hewitt, who left University of
Toronto to join the Toronto Star,
was the first in the world to
broadcast a hockey game. That
was in March, 1923, for the Star's
CFCA.
Hewitt's v e r b a l trademarks,
"Hello, Canada ." and • "He
shoots, he scores!" became fam-
ous via CBC radio, TV and sev-
eral private stations, including
Hewitt's CKFH in Toronto. They
also became titles of two of Hew-
itt's five books'
Probably the most successful
sportscaster in Canada, Hewitt
won't say if he's a millionaire.
"You could say I'm at least com-
fortable."
His comforts include b e in g
president and sole owner of Tor-
onto's CI{FH (he has 52 employ-
ees), living in Toronto's swank
Forest Hill Village, and owning a
Cadillac Coupe de Ville and cus-
tom-built Buick convertible. (A
show model from the Canadian
National Exhibition, the Buick
has hand -tooled, built-in leather
gun holsters and natural steer -
hide floor rugs. Hewitt's wife,
Kay, drives it - minus sidearms,
of course.)
In the earl y 1930's Foster
broadcast the longest game in
National Hockey League history.
Boston Bruins and Maple Leafs
were battling in the Stanley Cup
semi-finals. The game was goal-
less until 2 a.m., when Ken Doug-
herty scored to win, 1-0, for the
Leafs. This was in April. Toron-
to's Maple Leaf Gardens became
tremendously w a r m, causing
Hewitt to sweat off eight pounds.
Hewitt, who now weighs 160
pounds, then carried less than
120 pounds on his 5'7" frame. He
says tension is hard on sports-
casters. "Doing one game actually
takes more •out of you than two
or three months' normal work.
As you get older, you can't shake
it off as fast, either."
Hewitt won't tell his age. ("I'm
still. 39, like Jack Benny.") But
CBC Times says- he was 18 in
1923; that makes him 51 this
year. He's grandfather of five.
His son, Bill, CKFH sports dir-
ector, was 27 last December. He
started broadcasting when he
was eight, as Foster's guest.
During summer vacation from
Toronto's Upper Canada College,
where he was a standout ath-
lete, Bill worked on small-town
radio -stations. When Foster
opened CKFH in 1951, Bill be-
came sports director, Chick Mur-
phy and Fred Sgambati are
CKFH's other sports announcers.
Every Saturday eight during
h o c lc y season, Foster Hewitt
climbs the 120 steps to the broad-
casting gondola, high above the
ice in Toronto's Maple Leaf Ger-
dens. There, he does a radio -TV
simu feast of National Hockey
League games between Leafs and
one of five visiting NHL teams.
Hewitt's listeners can almost
invariably sense when a goal is
going to be scored. Hewitt's
voice reaches a feverish pitch,
as the playtgcts hot and a goal -
tender says his prayers. It's then
that Hewitt, obviously' enveloped
by the game, might frenziedly
yell: "He's going ie on gnat . , .
' He shoots He scores!"
Hewitt handles all game de-
scriptions while CBC producer,
George Retzlaff, directs the three
cameras in Maple Leaf Gardens.
Actor Murray Westgate and car-
toonist George Feyer do com-
mercials for Imperial Oil, Hew-
itt's sponsor for 20 years.
"I'm no good on a script," Hew-
itt told me. "If I'ln reading, I'ln
not thinking You really have to
concentrate when you're doing
a game. You can't afford to make
slips, because each time you go
on, you're putting your reputa-
tion on the tile,"
AN UNUSUAL AND DISTINCTIVE

piece outfit with its gored skirt.

dents of the School of Fashion of

Give Them Room
If every seed that sprouted
were allowed to grow, his world
would soon become a jungle and
our gardens an awful mess. Al-
most everything needs thinning
and will do much better with
plenty of room, Overcrowded
plants get spindly and weak, an
easy prey for insects and di-
sease or even a heavy rain.
In almost every case where
plants are started from seed and
especially tiny seed, like lettuce
or alyssum or poppies, they
must be thinned later. In doing
this naturally we pull out the
poorer specimens first but in
any case we must leave plenty
of room for full development. If
we are afraid of later damage
from bugs or cutworms perhaps
we will leave twice as many
plants as at first, then later on
we remove every other one In
certain vegetables like beets
and carrots, too, we leave the
plants about an inch or so apart
at first, then use further thin-
nings for our first meals. When
thinned properly, the plants left
will grow more quickly, more
sturdily and should be healthier.
Thinning is not always con-
fined to seedlings. The extra big
and fine blooms you usually see
in the flower shows are often
the result of thinning. Only in
this case it will be the flower
buds that are removed. Instead
of letting every single rose,
peony, or dahlia develop, the
professionals nip off about fifty
per cent or more of the buds so
that those that are left will be
finer and bigger. The same thing
is don: with fruit like apples,
plums and peaches for big prime
results.

cessfully moved or transplant-
ed when young. There are two
major points to keep in mind.
We must not allow the roots to
dry out and we shouldn't ex-
pose them to air. Planting ma-
terial from a good seedhouse or
nursery, one will notice, has the
roots well wrapped in thorough-
ly damp moss, and to make sure
air is excluded and moisture re-
taine, there is as well an outer
wrapping of damp-proof paper or
burlap. To make sure those con-
ditions are continued after
plantings, one presses fine soil
firmly about the roots and
keeps - well watered until -growth
gets started. With bedding plants
or annuals that will only mean
a few days, with trees and
shrubs it may be several weeks,
Shrubs, trees and vines
should be transplanted before
they - come out in leaf and the
best nursery stock of these
things will never be farther ad-
vanced than the bud stage. An-
nual plants, of course, are in
leaf when we transplant but
they should not be too far
grown. Short stocky plants with
no flower buds are much to
be preferred to plants on the
point of blooming. Indeed if
there is any b 10 o m on such
things as zinnias, petunias or
marigolds it should be removed
before we transplant. If there
are only a few things to move,
one should do the job in the
evening and preferably when
there is no w i n d, otherwise
shade from sun for a day or
two. To speed growth and les-
sen the shock of moving, it is
a good plan to sprinkle a lit-
tle chemical fertilizer around
but not actually touching the
roots.
An Ounce of Prevention
It is unfortunate but it is true
that for almost every useful plant
we have in Canada there is some
bug, disease, or worm which
seems to have a special grudge
against it. But a little protec-
tion provided in time will save
them.
Generally speaking, the very
best protection against all these
pests is flourishing health. If
the garden is free of weeds,
well cultivated and growing,
there is little risk except from
some special insect or disease.
But if there are a lot of weeds,
if our flowers or vegetable
plants are crowded together and
growth spindly and weak, then
we are simply asking for
trouble, and even a mild attack
from passing bugs can cause a
lot of trouble. The first rule,
then, in protection is to keep
the garden clean and growing.

so labouring ye ought to sup-

how he said, It is more blessed

20:35.
It has often been noted that
the blood of the martyrs is the
seed of the church. After the
stoning there was a great per-
secution which scattered the fol-
lowers of the Christ who had
died, risen again and ascended
into heaven. But as they went
they preached the gospel to the
Jews, Then some from Cyprus
and Cyrene came to the city
of Antioch and preached the
Lord Jesus to the Greeks. Many
believed and turned to the Lord.
When the good news came to
Jerusalem the church sent Barn-
abas, a native of Cyprus, to Anti-
och. "He was a good man, and
full of the Holy Ghost and of
faith." What a tribute to re-
ceive! Soon Barnabas went to
Tarsus and sought out Saul to
come and help him in the work.
They labored together in Anti-
och for a year. Those who turn-
ed to the Lord were nicknamed
Christians. It was very appropri-
ate. They were diving for Christ
and striving to live like him.
The name is applied more loose-
ly now. Nearly all the people
are Christian according to the
/ census. But not all these arm
living for Christ. Many are liv-
ing for money, fame or pleasure,
Let us be Christians in reality,
When the Christians in Anti-
och learned of the famine com-
ing, they determined to send
relief to the believers in. Judea.
They prepared the relief, every
man according to his ability and
sent it by the hand of Barbabas
and Saul. Soon the record will
speak of this team as Paul and
Barnabas. Paul was to become
the greatest of the apostles. But
Barnabas befriended him at
Jerusalem when the apostles
and other disciples were afraid
of him. He also introduced him
to pastoral work at Antioch. Next
Sunday we shall see how they
were sent forth as missionarie l
by the church at Antioch. They
were a praying people at Anti-
och with a concern for others.
We need more such churches
today.

shade from sun for a day or
two. To speed growth and les-
sen the shock of moving, it is
a good plan to sprinkle a lit-
tle chemical fertilizer around
but not actually touching the
roots.
An Ounce of Prevention
It is unfortunate but it is true
that for almost every useful plant
we have in Canada there is some
bug, disease, or worm which
seems to have a special grudge
against it. But a little protec-
tion provided in time will save
them.
Generally speaking, the very
best protection against all these
pests is flourishing health. If
the garden is free of weeds,
well cultivated and growing,
there is little risk except from
some special insect or disease.
But if there are a lot of weeds,
if our flowers or vegetable
plants are crowded together and
growth spindly and weak, then
we are simply asking for
trouble, and even a mild attack
from passing bugs can cause a
lot of trouble. The first rule,
then, in protection is to keep
the garden clean and growing.

The Church in Antioch
Acts 11:19-30
Memory Selection: 1 have
showed you all things, how that
so labouring ye ought to sup-
port the weak, and to remem-
ber the words of the Lord Jesus,,
how he said, It is more blessed
to give than to receive. Acta
20:35.
It has often been noted that
the blood of the martyrs is the
seed of the church. After the
stoning there was a great per-
secution which scattered the fol-
lowers of the Christ who had
died, risen again and ascended
into heaven. But as they went
they preached the gospel to the
Jews, Then some from Cyprus
and Cyrene came to the city
of Antioch and preached the
Lord Jesus to the Greeks. Many
believed and turned to the Lord.
When the good news came to
Jerusalem the church sent Barn-
abas, a native of Cyprus, to Anti-
och. "He was a good man, and
full of the Holy Ghost and of
faith." What a tribute to re-
ceive! Soon Barnabas went to
Tarsus and sought out Saul to
come and help him in the work.
They labored together in Anti-
och for a year. Those who turn-
ed to the Lord were nicknamed
Christians. It was very appropri-
ate. They were diving for Christ
and striving to live like him.
The name is applied more loose-
ly now. Nearly all the people
are Christian according to the
/ census. But not all these arm
living for Christ. Many are liv-
ing for money, fame or pleasure,
Let us be Christians in reality,
When the Christians in Anti-
och learned of the famine com-
ing, they determined to send
relief to the believers in. Judea.
They prepared the relief, every
man according to his ability and
sent it by the hand of Barbabas
and Saul. Soon the record will
speak of this team as Paul and
Barnabas. Paul was to become
the greatest of the apostles. But
Barnabas befriended him at
Jerusalem when the apostles
and other disciples were afraid
of him. He also introduced him
to pastoral work at Antioch. Next
Sunday we shall see how they
were sent forth as missionarie l
by the church at Antioch. They
were a praying people at Anti-
och with a concern for others.
We need more such churches
today.

down with a bad case of influ-
enza. When the doctor arrived,
he took the invalid's tempera-
ture.
"23mm," said the doctor. "Your
temperature. is 103."
"Great, Doc," replied the ath-
lete weakly. "What's the world
record?"
