Rector's Holiday Did the pian who placed an ad- vertisement in the window of a Glasgow newsagent really mean what he said when he wrote: "Settee for sale by lady with nice upholstery and Queen Anne legs?" The English language is spat- tered with pitfalls for those who do not walk warily. Words plac- ed in the wrong order, or the ad- dition or ommission of commas, snake all the difference in the world. In a written statement a yuung army recruit set down: "The sergeant, 'said the gunner, was- a liar." What he really meant was, "The sergeant said the gunnet• was a liar." No won- der the sergeant Was peeved. Highly educated people make such errors, • and churchgoers were astonished when they read in a parish magazine that "AU people who have missionary box- es are requested to hand them in at once as the rector wants to go away for his holidays." Surely the tractor didn't mean what he tcrote. You can retake candles last twi& as long by giving them a coat of clear varnish.

HRONICLES INGERFARM t" enders d ran D C1n +i.e Electricity, like water, is something you appreciate to the full—when you haven't got it. At 5:45 one morning, last week, with the wind howling like an angry monster, we were prowl- ing around in the dark—feeling for the flashlights -hunting match- es and candles, wondering if there was enough fire in the range to boil the kettle. How long was the power likely to be off ... would the milking have to be done by hand ... was there enough oil in the lantern to last until daylight? The kitchen fire was still alight but, having being banked heavily because of the wind, it regtured considerable coaxing to get it go- ing again. After about twenty minutes we did manage to boil enough water to make a cup of tea. Then Partner made tracks for the barn — with a milking machine as useless as a headless axe. But of course, you never can tell about hydro—it might be off several hours, or it night be only a matter of minutes, so otic naturally hopes for the best. One hour, two hours, three hours went by -- and still. no hydro. The cows were milked by hand—with the help of one of our visitors. Two heifers, that had never leen milked any other way than by machine didn't like the change at all. When the milking was done, and lights and power no longer urgently need- ed, then of course the break was fixed and service restored. We don't know what caused the in- terruption but we were certainly thankful it was no worse, The way the wind was blowing any- thing could have happened, And then the weather turned cold and Partner said—"I told you so!" That was because he had said we should have' the storm -door windows put on. But 1 didn't want them on. it was such a job• trying to keep the house cool in mild weather but having the doors open and let- ting the fresh air blow in through the screens helped considerably. So, when the air became a little too fresh what right had 1 com- plain? None at all -naturally -- but I complained just the same. And that was when Partner said --"Well, I told you so!" On the second day of our sud- den winter one of our neighbours phoned ---could they borrow our electric heater, their old space, heater wouldn't work and they couldn't get holcl of anyone to. fix it -- incidentally. it wits Less thana year olcl. One repair man said he worked on oil furnaces but not .on heaters! How inde- pendent can a repair man get? And how dependent can WE get with so much of our farm and household equipment run by electricity? 'Hydro power light- • ens work and increases our com- fort but when it breaks .clown there are titres when we won- der if the game is worth the can- dle --wouldn't we be better off without these so-called conveni- ences that are frequently the cause of considerable inconveni- ence? Brave thoughts --but when the hydro collies on again, then it is our will -power that breaks down. We flip an the lights with gladness, we cart t h e milker around as if 11 weighed only ten pounds, and we say to ourselves "Do without hydro , , . what a crazy idea!" Do you know what? I was thinking the other day how Mee it would be if we humans had as much instinct as animals, then no one would get caught in storms and blizzards. Several times, during the last ten days, Partner has not liked the look of the weather and has tried to drive into the barnyard, two lit- tle heifers that have lately had the run of the farm. But do you think they would go in? Not a bit of it. Then Partner would say fntpatiently—"Ail right, stay out if you want to—later on you may wish you hadn't." So the heifers stayed out and the next morning they would still be quite happy and roaming the fields. But the other night—the even- ing before the windstorm — the heifers carte up to the barn of their own accord and almost asked to be let in. They knew if was going to be a rough night. Sure, cattle take heed of the weather but we who have "brains" to help us make deci- sions, we get into our cars and go places, no matter what the weather. So, in winter -time peo- ple get caught in blizzards; cars are abandoned on blocked roads; passengers get chills, frostbite anti suffer other inconveniences just because they were set On going to a dance, a card party, or some other form of social enter- tainment. And it isn't always the young folk either, Apparently many of us are never too old to be foolish. You'll see , .. it has happened before, it will happen again. The thing is, will it hap- pen to you?

ISSUIE 31 —.19514 dish Are Trained To 'Catch Turtles Though tiu•tle soup figured on the London, Ewa, Lord Mayor's banquet for the first time only lab years ago, this dish is now the most important one of the meal, Liven so, few people know that the soup is made from the flesh of only one species of turtle—caught off the islands of Jamaica and Trinidad — though the breed is found in other Wa- ters as !well. They are known as "green" or edible turtles and when fully mature measure seven feet in length and weigh more than 800 lb. But the flesh of these 'mon- ' sters is coarse and tough and no turtle weighing more than 200 lbs. is ever sent to London for the banquet. This massive reptile has a meagre intelligence and little power of reasoning. She lays her eggs not in the sea where she lives, but on dry land, waddling a considerable distance up the beach to do so. Her dim intelli- gence tells her that the tracks she retakes will give her away, so she invariably wanders about first to confuse her enemies, then makes a nest several hundred yards from her point of entry from the sea, Alter laying her eggs she again wanders about, obliterating all tracks, and enters the sea some distance from the nest. This duty accomplished, she forgoes all ma- ternal responsibility and forgets about her progeny. When they are hatched some instinct makes them head straight for the sea, where more than half of then are devoured by large crabs and other creatures that prey on young turtles. Men who Mint the turtle wait until she has deposited her eggs, then intercept her on the way home, tura her aver to render her helpless and drag her off to be killed or chop off her head at once. Large turtles are nearly always killed soon after reap - Jure. The most succulent turtles are caught in the sea. Fishermen use a live remota fish as bait, for the nenot•a is attracted mainly by large smooth objects to which it clamps itself, A line is attached firmly to the tail of the fish, which heads straight for the nearest turtle and fixes itself firmly to the undershell. Those in the boat have little trouble in hauling it in and, with the as- sistance of one or two natives who plunge into the water, the turtle is dragged aboard. Turtles for the Lord Mayor's Banquet are not killed in the West Indies, but sent alive to London. They are kept in warm sea water and fed on small fish, but are very bad sailors and more than half die on the way over. That is why turtle soup, which can be had for a penny a plate in Jamaica, costs so much in London. "The bravest man I ever knew?" said the explorer.
