Millions of viewers witnessed the operation and heard the doctor in charge mutter instructions to his assistants. The telecast was staged in connection with the Amer- ican Medical Association convention, HRONICL "a'l INGERFARmt cY daiendoLits.e P Cte plwz A few weeks ago there was a slight hue and cry regarding the practise of sealing food containers with wire staples. I was greatly in sympathy with that objection. Packages so sealed were hard to open and if a staple flew while being pried open there was no tell- ing where it had landed. But house- hold supplies were not our only. worry. Laying mash, which now comes in paper bags, was also fas- tened with staples --a bigger and stronger variety. One had to be very careful itoprying them off in case one of the staples might acci- dentally drop into the laying mash. Finding a needle in a haystack would be no more difficult than looking for a wire staple in a bag of laying stash. And wire staples can hardly be recommended as a good supplementary addition to the laying bees' regular ration. One staple imbedded in the gizzard of a lien could cause serious trouble. Which reminds me , , , one time we had a roaster --a fine, healthy specimen of a bird, who suddenly went off his head. He didn't appear to be sick but moped around on the roost all day. He finally re- covered. Some months later the rooster was killed to provide roast chicken for our table. When I cleaned the poor thing I found a three-inch nail stuck right through his gizzard -.-in such the sante way as a Cupid's arrow is pictured through the heart. How the rooster ever lived is a mystery. Small won- der it sat around o,1 the roost. Anri so, thini'ting of the nail, I was very glad last week to find our laying stash was machine - stitched across the top instead of being fastened with staples. Now 1 ant hoping that grocers will dis- continue the practise of using little staples to fasten bags of reigns, currants, and other foodstuffs that come to the store in bulk. Well, we have run into telephone trouble. For months I have been worrying the telephone company to put new bells on our phone as half the time it was impossible to re- cognize the ing, with the result that 1 roas always butting in on calls that wl rc meant for other parties on the line. Filially we got our bells. NOW when the telephone rings it scares the life out of me -and also the dogs. So we have dogs barking and the phone •ring- ing all at the same time, \Nell, that's all right in the day-tinte- we can get used to it. But Satur- day night we were dead to the world --and of course the telephone had to ring, I thought it was about two in the morning, and I knew Bob wasn't home so it isn't hard to -guess what my first thoughts were. By the time 1 took down the receiver I was shivering. It was Daughter -and the time was 11.30 p.m 1 Still early hours for city folk but the middle of the night to us older folk down on the farm. Daughter had tried to get us earlier in the evening but couldn't get through. The call was to tell sus she and a friend would be out in the morning. Vor the weekend we also had Partner's brother and daughter, Betty, also' Bob- and a friend of his. Two of them are here with us yet, and will be untii 'Tuesday ctoon, Brother Colin is busy staking window screens. Notb- ing like putting your visitors to work! It has been a lovely weekend - the first warms weather we have had this year. And just when we were threatening to get a small space heater. Up until now we have been too warm with a furnace go- ing, and too cold without it. That is what happens wizen the house is lust -dated. A space beater in the living roost would just about do the trick and keep the house rouu- Sortabie for in-between seasons, Last night we had our first tlttut- derstorm of the season, but it didn't amount to much. Not here, at least. According to radio reports there was plenty of damage along the shores of Lake Simcoe., Bob would probably run into it on his waY back to canto Sunday night. Surprising the difference ' a week's growth gives to the coun- try. Alfalfa and Timothy are quite a good height now and red clover is coating into bloom. Strawberries are in more plentiful supply , and do they look tempting! But I suppose potatoes will compete with strawberries for first favor in the public eye. One day last week I had a postcard from a friend holi- daying in Virginia. I was amused at the message she sent .. , "Won- derful time, beautiful scenery, first class meals -but no potatoes;" Maybe someone will come along with a popular song -"Yes, we have no potatoes!" Shortage of po- tatoes may be inconvenient but it can hardly be called a national calamity -it may even be advan- tageous by eliminating some of the starch from our daily diet.

JUNE We seldom remember in April how tall the grass at the roadside and its the meadows will be by June. Or that daisies will frost the fence row and buttercups gild the meadow. We forget, most of tis, that chokecherries are now its bloom with tlteit• sharp gouged flowers, and that June k other r things than roses. June is really a time of relative quiet, serenity after the rush of sprouting and leafing and flowering and before the fierce heat that drives toward maturity and seed. June's very air can be as sweet as the wild strawberries that grace its middle weeks, sweet as clover, sweet as honeysuckle. A sweet- . 11eas that could be cloying, but somehow isn't, perhaps because it is still a nese sweetness. Birds still sing, at their best, and not only at morn and at everting but most of the day. The oriole, the robin and the tanager can make a June day fairly vibrate with song, and a part of the song is there in, the air before the birds tater a single note. Juste is that way. The rasping that is July and Aug- ust, the scraping of cicadas and all their kin, is yet its abeyance. Juno doesn't assault your ears. It flat- ters them, then softens the sound of frog and whippoorwill, and is a joy. These things we know each June. We learn them all over again hi this first week, and we wonder how we could eves. have forgotten them. For June is peonies as well as roses, June is the first early kitchen - garden produce as well as flower beds, June is a happy memory re- discovered and lived again.
