In engraving the official corona. tion medallion pictured above, he got the 'Z' (arrow) in "Eliza- beth" backward.

H ONI Lr�S 1NGERFA M I don't intend to da more than mention in passing the outstand- ing event in last week's news. That is the death .of Stalin. Abler pens than mine have, and will continue to deaf, with that world-shaking event. To me, of the most extraordinary signifi- cance, is the fact that twice in our generation a man has risen from the ranks and become suf- ficently powerful to upset the balance, not only of his own country, but of praeticalla, the whole world. With that I leave the subject. Turning now to ordinary everyday affairs—have you ever realized how many odd acci- dents occur that could not pos- sibly be foreseen? The other day I noticed an account in the daily press of a child being hurt by the explosion of an egg; It was in the process of being boil- ed; the saucepan boiled dry; the egg exploded and fragments of shell few in the face of a little girl who was standing near the stove. That same night I was nearly brained by a dead hen! It hap- pened this way. Two days prev- iously Partner had killed it hen and hung it in the back porch. That was during our last zero spell. The bird froze solid. The back porch is where I also feed the dogs. That night I went out with the dogs' supper as usual --a dish in each hand. I stopped to put them on the floor—at a strategic distance front each other. As I straightened up again , wham'.. It was the hard - frozen head and sharp beak of our dead hen. It almost knocked me out—but not quite. I still had enough strength to sit down on a chair and laugh and laugh, even though I was quite alone. • - It struck me as being too ridicul- ous—to be hit on the head by a dead hen! And then I put my hand to my head, which was by this time aching considerably. I felt a steadily rising lump which finely reached the size of a wal- nut. although the skin was not broken. My head ached for the rest of the evening --and it is still sore to touch even after six days. Today we ate the hen. "He who laughs Net laughs loud- est '' I hadn't thought of it until this minute' but maybe that bump on the head affected my grey natter. Anyway I was try- ing to start the car next morn- ing, but it failed to nnlige—so I left it. After dinner I went out to try it again. This lime it W7.15 hopeless . . . I had left the ignition on!

And then Bob came home front the north—and he took over from there. Yes. Bob- ilas conte back again I to the banana belt. Its: has had all the cold weather he wants far awhile, The Week before he left Matheson it was fifty below This has been somewhat of a recnrd winter up north for snow and cold—and a record mild win- ter for us. One day. While he was working outside, Bob had an orange freeze solid in the back pocket of his pants, He also men- tioned one house; unoccupied. that had twenty inches of snow on top of the roof. As for driv- ing. he hadn't driven his car ten miles in the two months lie was up there. He made up for it on the way home. He left Matheson at 4 pan. Friday and arrived home 3.30 a.m. Saturday—about ' 500 miles. When he came to bare ground south of Barrh: 'I guess it looked pretty good to hin. So now Bob is at home again night and morning but working at his old construction job down at Oakville during the day. Isn't it nice to have the days getting longer --actually there seem to be more hours in a day when we get more sunlight. And there can't be too many hours as far as I ant concerned. On the wall of Iny den I have a decorat- ed card pinned up—an inspira- tion to me but a worry to Part- ner. It features an hour -glass, and the inscription reads thus, "Lost Yesterday, Somewhere be- tween sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with 60 daitnond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone fore - ever." ' What exactly is "lost tine"? Actually, we none of us lose time; we all of us have 24 hours to spend. But I suppose time is lost when we do nothing that is of benefit to ourselves or other folk. Some people think reading is wasting time. I don't, Right now Partner is reading "The In- credible Canadian" and I am halfway through "A Sense of Urgency."
