Prodigal Returns -After a two•and-a-half year absence from his home, Lochinvar, a Persian cat, strolls in the door as nonchalantly els If he were just returning from his minrning stroll.

CI.eelee The miracle of spring is re- peated again; pasture land and wheat fields are looking fresh and green; even some spring - sown fields have a greenish tinge suggesting the successful germination of early pats Daf- fodils are swaying in the wind in all their golden glory; flower- ing shrubs, bursting with new life, whether it be foliage, the golden bells of the forsythia or the cherry red japonica The great outdoors is full of promise after a wonderful rain, , now all we have to do is keep pace with it! We also have with us daylight-saving time --- a help or a hindrance, according to what we make of it, In haying time it is undoubtedly a hin- drance to farmers but right now I can't see that it makes much difference one way or another, Another unfailing sign 01 spring ... the swallows are back to the barn --- or rather one swal- low has returned. Partner says the same thing happens eve'r'y spring---lze is milking, hears a little chirp now and thea looks up and sees one little swallow, flying in and out, first to one beam and than another. This one reconnoitering swallow stays around for a day or two and then disappears. But eventually it returns in company with its brothers and sisters, its cousins and its aunts. Love -making is soon underway and then comes the serious business of setting up house and raising a family. Life has feu complications for the swallow family — their swift flight and the location o.t their nests defies even the barnyard eat — perhaps that is why Shakespeare spoke of them as symbolic of hope — "True hope is swift, and flies with swal- low's wings," But the swallows are not the only ones around here with plans for setting up house. Son Bob is doing the same thing — only, unlike the swallows, he is batch- ing it, at least for the present. He has a nice little bungalow an the outskirts of Oakville, only a few hundred yards from the construction plant vthere. he ' works;, which means saving time and gas that. would ordinarily be used if he were commuting from Mete, Such a nice little bungalow, four rooms and a bathroom and a full-size base- ment. The ground -floor front windows look out aeons a pas - tune field where there are sev- eral lovely big trees; beyond that stretches the Queen Elieabeth Way with its constantly moving traffic. But the kitchen and Bob'e bedroorn have quite a ditferent outlook, which Bob finds rathee amusing -- that is, a view of the LOGY, LISTLESS OUT OF LOVE WITH IF Then salt* up your liver bile , jump *at of doll rum' to yo fdfe not worth ? livin It any he the liver!

"The flower's that bloom in the spring, traela-la, have nothing to do with the case" — not from the rear view of Dob'e little house. There are only five other houses in the immediate vicinity so the C1ietrid is not overcrowded ... as yet. We, leo, have been moving house but only within our own foto' walls, We bought an extra' piece of new bedroom furniture and removed some of the old. 1 shifted and rearranged the re- maining furniture three times on three different days before I was satisfied with the result. ,One night, before r'etir'ing, Partner said — "And where shall I find the bed tonight — I hardly know my way around any more!"

My only tool was a screwdriver, yet, 'inside of thirty minutes, I had all the legs off, also the extension slides and the table top hi two sec- tion*, I wished I had looked at it properly years ago. Bob tools the table away knocked down. Now he can re -finish it, reassem- ble it as one big table or make it into two smaller ones — and he thinks the surplus legs can be eat down to make bases for table lamps. So, if you people have any old furniture that can do with a little remodelling you will probably find it can be taken apart just as easily as this table of ours. Or give it away end let someone else have the fun and satisfaction of working on it, Through the years, on farms in particular, we accumulate a lot of stuff that might just as well be shared with the younger ones as they leave the old place to rake homes for themselves. Thank you, F. W. for your kind words — I am glad you were able to assure English readers that Ginger Farm actually does exist —and I am also glad to ]snow it is read and liked in the Old` Country.
