HRONICLES "%.. i y/ c wndoltrve D Cierkc Unless a miracle happens in the way of a long open fall, it looks as if quite a lot of fall ploughing 'will be left unfinish- ed this year * as a result of Hurricane Hazel. lu driving through this district and in the neighbouring county of Peel we have seen many fields where ploughing has been started and then left, with water lying in the furrows. In some fields trac- tors are stuck, axle -deep in mud. On our farm there is one field where John wants to put ei spring crop again next year. So of course it must be plough- ed this fall. Last Monday he came along with his own big tractor and double -furrow plough. He had hardly started beore he found it was impos- sible to make any headway so he discarded his big tractor for our own which is •much smaller and lighter. But even it could not navigate in the water -logged - field. In disgust Johnny quit early and went home. We thought that was the last we would see of hint for a few days. But no, Johnny isn't discour- aged that easy. The next morn - in;' he showed up with a team of horses and a single furrow plough which he used all the week until Saturday. That morning there was quite a bit .of frost in the ground so out came the tractor. By the after- uoon the frost had thawed out and the nam was put to work again. !' it looks as it the horses corr,e into their own once ill awhit e ::tryr,-ay.

FASHION RINGS THE BELLE—Whether It's in the Congo or for the Conga, rings make fashion news this year. At left, o member of the Bashi tribe in the Belgian Congo models the dozens of thin wire ankle rings considered high fashion by Congo belles, At right are shown shoes fashioned with jewelled rings and pendants. They're just the thing for evening wear, according to Italian stylist Fontalco, who is displaying his creations in Rome..: thence to get unfiinshed jobs cleaned up, I was glad of the nice weather as I was convener for our W,I, meeting last Thursday and It was just •one of those occasions when noticing seemed to go right. We were expecting a speaker from Galt. Two days before the meeting I did not know whether she was coming or not. You can imagine how happy I was feeling! So I phoned her and discovered she was' to let me know if she could NOT tome. That I had forgot- ten. There was also lunch to arrange for the meeting but by the time I was ready to phone the rest of the committee the telephone was out of order! We eventually got that straightened out and then I set to work to fix up a contest — and almost for- got the prize, Then came the day of the meeting. Our speaker was to arrive on the 1:45 train. That was fine — just right for our two o'clock meeting. 1 got to the station and was informed the train would be twenty-five minutes late! No telephones at the station — I often wonder wily -- so I went to the nearest house and phoned our president from there, At 2:30 we arrived, After the meeting I b*ought our speaker home for a snack -sup- per and then took her to catch the 8:30 train for home. Got into the ear, heard something rattling like fury behind me. The tail -pipe and the -muffler had parted company, the former missing the ground by about Christmas Gift lail t:1 11164tois 11 T ��- 2 sr ritW s,S TED. gt:rtn •et v. ardtubo at your little on.•'s favorite Each sten i,•,t':aas — fun le ulnae! 55 ty I'rc s!School Drres: S_ :nde Jumper( f31o,:,e: Cast!

Our roll -call for that meeting was "How to post- pone old age." Had 1 been there to answer it I think I would have said — "Avoid being con- vener for any special meeting!" However, looking back I realize it was all worthwhile for it was a great privilege and pleasure to hear Mrs. R. • D. Hendry, our Area representative on the Provincial Board. We got some very good advice on W.I. work and were given a first- hand account of what Hurri- cane Hazel did at the Interna- tional Ploughing 14latch, parti- cularly to the W.I. tent, which of course was collapsed by the storm. How the ladies ever came through the ordeal T can't imagine. And then Mrs. Hendry gave us a delightful account of her trip over to England, Scot- land, Denmark, Sweden and Holland. She spoke particularly of the wonderful care given Canadian graves by the Dutch people. "If you have anyone buried over there," said Mrs. Hendry, "then thank God he it in a Dutch cemetery for his grave will never be neglected but be given tender and loving care. The people of Holland will never forget the Canadian boys who died in defence of their country." Well, to complete the week, Bob and Joy were here Friday night, Saturday night Daughter phoned . . . she and Art had taken Dave to see the Santa Claus Parade! They really thought he was too young but decided to see what he would make of it anyway. Apparently he didn't miss a trick. Perched on Daddy's shoulder the whole time, his eyes never left the passing scene. He is one up on his grandparents at that, as neither of us has ever seen the Santa Claus Parade and how I would like to! I often think that the Parade, like so many hooks and shows arranged for children, actually gives more pleasures to grown-ups than to the children themselves. Odds and Ends Of StMesmansh p There s no proz,:asion or trade in the world that otters mote scope: for il,genuit}- than -that of the salenan, '!here is +he cluasie example of a salesman who bought tip a whole con. signmeet -•-- about 20,000 tins -- of jar:. • There wra,, only oao snag: none of the tins had a label. They had been 'salvaged from a ship- wreck mid no deduct would buy thein,• - to the stdeaal.t went to sev- eral leading bakeries as soon as' he heti the eo'sit?ntnent safely in too paaee'5sion.

Each tin cost the bakers only half of what they would mem- ally have had to pay. Some thirty years ago when the old-fashioned horn -type of "hooter" for cars went out of fashion, a manufacturer found himself saddled with millions of these articles, He called in his salesmen and packed two oft to China and another two 10 South Africa. Within a few months these salesmen had dis- posed of all this horns --to rick - shave boys. For years after- wards Natal, -South Africa, and various Chinese cities resound,. ed to the furious hank -honk of the redundant car horns, A satesannn was instructed to sell tomato . sauce to the Far Est when the Hriti`tt and Am- erican ntarltets had a terrific glut of tomatoes. He went from place to plana assuring people that this was; • the real "he-man's" drink in the Western World, He received his biggest 'f r e e advertisement rwhen, at a banquet in Mongolia, the ruling class rose, each with a bottle of tomato sauce in hand, and solemnly chanted the Icing's health and thea took a swig, Everyone was keen on totnitte sauce after that! In the sleepy hills of North Georgia, gold is waiting to be mined. And there's nothing to atop any man going there and keeping all lee finds. But he won't be alone. For not so sleepy, are the publicity boys of old Georgia who want to pep up the tourist. trade. Their "finders keepers" campaign has lured tourists from as many as fifteen different States in a single week -end. They pay about a dollar or job per head, and the mine owners of Dahlonega — the North Georgia community known as "The Gold City" — take iihena Out to the mines and .chow theta how to pan for ore. Dahlonega, the site of the first gold rush ever in the United States, some twenty years be - tore tllle big strike in Califon nia, gets its - name from the Cheroke Indian word "Tau-lan- ne-ka," meaning "Yellow Money," Hardly any tourist goes away without finding some gold. One man, not long ago, filled a quart jar with about $7,500 worth of ore. -But for the majority of visitors to -day, the prize is un- likely to exceed a little dust, although occasionally nuggets are 'found worth as much as $150. So the hopeful tourists do not begrudge the small sums they pay in "digging fees:" What puzzles some visitors is why the mine owners operate only on a very small scale. If there is so much gold lying about, they reason, why don't they dig more earnestly and keep it all for themselves? The high cost of labourandmachin- ery, the owners say, prohibi full-scale operations. The actual value of the gold found would net balance the expense of get- ting to it, 1-10 'BREAD lx cup BENSON'S or CANADA Corn Starch % trip icing sugar 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour 1 cup butter Sift together BENSON'S or CANADA Corn Starch, icing sugar and flour into bowl, (Have butter at room temperature.)
