Ali NICL S INGERFARM n% C +¢;I�d.nit.rt,Q Cl C1Alg.,C Cold weather is with us again - and yet it doesn't feel as if winter has returned -although it is colder than many days we had during the middle of winter. The country has a different appearance now the brown fields and bare trees have a "waiting" look. Per- haps the longer hours of daylight make at difference. Whatever the reason, in spite of the cold, it doesn't feel like winter but rather a dreary day in early spring -with bitter cold winds. A few days ago I Was in Toronto. The lake was more beautiful than I had ever. seen it. A wild sort of beauty as the wind whipped the greenish waters into rough, tum- bling waves, breaking as they hit the seawall, sending White foaming spray five or six feet into the air. The lake Was not rough to the sante extent els I remember rough seas on the .east coast of England but it was rough enough to recall pleasant memories of those :'y -gone days when I would stand watching the breakers with a fascination that is ]card to explain. -An angry sea is always a challenge. Once I at- tempted swimtning alone- in a rough sea. Swint: I couldn't - even stand. 'i'be angry waves picked me up and threw me against the jag- ged rucks. 13y some miracle I scrambled ashore, breathless, bruis- ed and beaten. It was the one and only time I challenged a stormy sea. As we passed along the lake front the other Clay a little old lady sitting next to me in the bus, was recalling Toronto as she first remembered it. "There was only one road their along tine waterfront, site said, and of course, it wasn't paved. She showed Inc where farm barns had stood on the greensward just below Sunnyside. She remember- ed, when the lake was high, how the waters flooded the road and even got into the barns. She men- tioned Lorne Park as being a little village and how often she had gone out, day after day, picking wild berries in the surrounding fields I wonder how many berries could be found in Lorne Park during the summer in this day and age? So many changes in one person's lifc- tftne . , . one wonders what changes will take place du -ring the next two generations. Dear knows there are changes enough already, even in the Coun- try.

This bas given us an opportunity to ob- serve nlaliy things ,particularly how farms can be completely changed under new ownership - sometimes for the good, and some- times very much the opposite, de- pending an the experience and fi- nancial status of the owners, Actually, it is very iuteresting to stay put and watch "the passing show" as it applies to the country. Interesting, yes, but alas, too often it is also heartbreaking. Many folk start out with high Hopes, great ambition, but so often with little actual knowledge of practical farm- ing. The result is a foregone con- clusion - as the over -confident seem only to learn by experience. Yet the old adage is as true now as it ever was -"a wise luau learns from the experience of others; a fool front 1110 own." And yet, how many of us prefer the hard way every time. With those just start- ing oat in life it seems almost in- evitable. But with older folk , . . well, you can draw your own con- clusion, , . , which will probably very 111uc1l the Same as our own. Baboons' Tails - Two Shillings Each Two shilliugs a tail is being of- fered by Divisional Commissioners in Gambia in an attempt to wipe out hordes of baboons that are infesting African farms and doing great a mage. The baboon popula- tion of Gtnnbia has risen to the record figure of 50,000, and it is estimated that each baboon is likely to do about five shillings' worth of damage a mouth throughout 1952 if his depredations go uncheck- ed. Many hundreds of baboon tails have already been received, and natives are organizing drives against the beasts. Baboon hunters have abandoned firearms when surround- ing a troop of baboons and have attacked then: effectively with hat- chets, axes and. clubs. Somet'mes dogs arc used, but they are no match for baboons that can fight with ]rands and feet and have fangs two inches long, Baboons are almost human. During the war in what was Ger- man East Africa airmen attached to a naval air squadron had a tame baboon as a mascot. It was par- ticularly fond of one pilot and used to sit on the bonnet of a car wait- ing for 111111 while he was away bombing the Germans, One morning she was waiting as usual, and suddenly gave signs of alarm, barking strangely. The other airmen knew something was amiss. It was found that the miss- ing pilot had had to make a forced landing on German terrritory. Pat- rons went out and brought the in- jured roan back to the camp, where the baboon greeted him by licking his face and jumping round with excitement. It could be said that site had saved the airman's life. Baboons have been known to sham dead when cornered. One who did so in the Graaf Reinet -district of Cape Colony, after be- ing struck on the head with a club, rose suddenly and • wrestled with a farmer and forced him to the ground on his back, The man managed to grasp a large stone, with which he killed the baboon, But to this day he bears the marks c,f its fangs on his neck, "1 find your complaint difficult to diagnose; I think it must be drink," - "In that case 1'11 go to a doctor who doesn't."

John 15:8. The fellowship of Christians is the largest and yet the 111061 in- timate and -blessed fellowship in all the world. Two Christians of different language and skin -colour meet. Their common sharing of Christ make them one. They are simply two branches from the same vine Jesus Christ, His life itas conte to them. In whatever points they differ, they are alike in life's essential. They have Christ. Abid- ing in llitil and He in then, they can ask what they will and it shall be done. This is a stupendous pro- mise, but since their will is &object- ed to god's will, they will only ash the best. Christians arc lights in the world, disseminating peace and harmony. When they disagree, they do so without resentment or malice. Christians are not war- mongers. They are peacemakers. Paul had many Christian friends throughout the world, :nen and women. Many had aided him in his suffering. He loved them, Frank C. Limbach in his recent book, "Wake up or blow up" challenges America to give her "know stow" to the trampled millions of the earth. This man whose teaching methods have enabled sixty million people "to learn to read and who has travelled in 76 countries says these people are corning up. despite all obstacles. They will love the people who help them. Communism is promising much. Christianity mast give her technicians and agri- culturalists to help these people. Here is the challenge. "Wake tip or blow up." Bat Batty Many Southern states consider the bat a very valuable mammal. In fact, in some of these states it is unlawful to kill or- injure bats. The reason 'Inc this is that they eat half their weight in insects each night. Bats, if you have forgotten, are the only creatures in the mam- mal classification that are equipped to fly. There are more than 260 species and subspecies of these animals in North America alone. Contrary to general opinion, the native species of bats are among the most harmless of .mammals.
