Happy Christmas in a New Land—A family of nine who fled Poland and wandered 1,200
miles by horses and wagon to escape the Russ ians are spending a happy holiday with Mr.
and Mrs. John Oswald at R.R. 2, Petersburg, five miles southwest of Kitchener. They are Mr.
and Mrs Ferdinand Oswald (back row, left), their six children and Mrs Marie Oswald (seat
ed), mother of the Oswald men. Mr. and Mrs John Osaiald, with whom their refugee kin
are now living, are in the back row in front of the tree.

Bees Help Increase
Clover Seed Yield
Experiments have been under-
taken at the Dominion Experiment-
al Station, Prince George, B.C., to
determine the value and the need
for bees in the seed production of
alsike clover. It was found that
where honey bees were present the
yield of alsike seed was twenty
times as high as where no bees were
present. In the fields where both
native wild bees and honey bees
a re present in large numbers the
seed yield of alsike was four times
as high as . here only the honey
bees were evailable for pollination.
The result shows the value of honey
bees in the seed production of this
erop, and indicates that beekeeping
could well be adopted in conjunc-
tion with alsike seed production
against the time when native pollin-
ating insects may be reduced to
insufficient numbers.
CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM
By Gwendoline P. Clarke
You know how we always think the
test part of going away is the coming
$Jome? In just that same way don't
you think the best part of Christmas
and New Year's is the well -it's -all-
over feeling that you get 3n January?
So many weeks we have ridden the
crest of a wave—a wave of prepar-
ing, of giving and receiing; of go-
ing and coming; of over -indulgence
in Christmas fare—that to find our
selves once more in calm waters, as it
were, is some:la:1g we can reaay ap-
reciate—in fact we remember with
relief that it is vow eleven mouths
until Christmas I
* *
And after tee Chralmat tree is
divested of its trimmings and come
to its inglono i end of providing
little extra kindling wood, and the
Christmas cards are looked over and
read over again, and then stored
away—because we don't know what
else to do with them—the Christmas
gifts put into regular use, if that
is possible, and rliildren returning
unwillingly to school—then begirt;
the 'housewife's brief spell of Para-
dise. There will be other busy times,
she is sure, some of the family will
inevitably develop winter colds and
coughs—but we hope nothing worse
--but right now is the after season
hill, and we have time to enjoy the
monotony of ordinary everyday
work.
* * *
• Ycs, we can restl Seems to me
heard e chorus of protests following
that last remark. "Rest," I hear you
say—"rest, with all there is to do in
this house!" All right .... all right
. I know you are busy—so am 1
for that matter—but you know it is
quite possible to rest as we work.
"Rest is not quitting the busy career,
rest is the fitting of self to one's
sphere."

youth; it is part of its restless ener-
gy, but too often this same sort of
almost perpetual motion continues
through life with nerves being the
main motive power driving us on
when common sense is telling us to
stop, or at least slow lip, We women,
I think, are the worst offenders. And
why? Because we let our families be-
come too dependent upon Mother do-
ing this and Mother fixing that. And
believe me, I have noticed that that
same situation is reaching alarming
proportions in the present acute
housing shortage. It exists in the
country as well as in urban districts.
Married couples live with their par
ents, grandchildren come along, and
it is gill "Mother" who bears. the
brunt of the load. In sorne:?zas'iNlia
young married bread -win aec ahas,• a
job away from home. AndaiWir who
is it that gets his breakfasttisd en-
dures his early morning grouchiness?
You know as well as I do, don't
you? Mother has always looked
after her children so she goes right
on with the job, irrespective of
wives, husbands and grandchildren.
And the children, in the great major-
ity of cases, unthinkingly allow her
to do it.
* *
Honestly, I just about see red
when I notice the weariness of so
many not -so -young women these
days and I know it is because they
are over-worked, over tired and too
good to their families. 011, I know
it is not so easy for the young folk
either—but they at least have youth
on their side—youth and the hope of
a home .of their own at some future
time. Surely it should be possible for
young and old to realise some of the
difficulties peculiar to each and thus
come to a fairer family agreement
regarding work and responsibility.
* *
Our little Whisky is, at present,
quite a distraction to serious think-
ing. She is tearing around the room
like a wild thing—now here, now
there in and out around the furniture
and then back to her newest "teaser"
—an empty spool hung by a string
from the handle of the door, If you
have a kitten and want it to play just
try that little trick some time. It is
as good as a circus to watch.

Many times during the- past year,:
we , have been asked, who Susie is?
People ask is she real? Is she a
figment of th e
imagination? Do
those Susie
stories ever ma-
terialize? The an-
swer to them all
is YES. The only.
Susie story that
was, written last
• year, that didn't
• actually happen
was the one Su ie herself wrote,
when we were up north on holidays.
* * *
There are many incidents that hap-
• pen in the life of your reporter and
Susie that never appear in print. The
reason being,: that few people would
• believe them. For example we went
over to Susie's house the night after .
she had the Christmas tree up and
decorates'. Trying to help, we got
down under the tree to plug in the
lights. In so doing, we pulled the
tree over with a thundering crash!
• Susie came running to find yours
truly hurled under green branches
with his you -know -what protruding
with icicles and snow decorating it,
and making s beautiful picture. Do
you believe that? We didn't think
so, but its the truth
* * *
Then, a few weeks ago, we took
Susie for a ride in the country. Now.
we
we happen to be one of those unfor-
tunates who were blessed with bad
teeth as a child; even though mother
fed us on milk and fruit juices, etc.
Well, we now support an upper plate
of store food -mashers. Getting back
to the story, Susie and I were riding
along, both of us munching away at
apples. A piece of apple skin got
lodged in my throat. I started to
hack and choke. "I—I", I gasped,
"will try and get home and get a
drink". But the choking got worse
and I was getting blue in the face.
Finally I pulled up on the edge of
the road. "Hit me on the Back," I
yelled at Susie, jumping out of the
door, and at the same time jamming
the set of molars in my pocket. I
coughed! Susie slapped my back!
Finally the piece of apple skin gave
ground and up it came. "Whew"
I grinned at Susie, forgetting to put
the teeth back. Susie looked; her
eyes popped out and she pointed at
mar mouth, "Where are they? What
happened to them?" she cried. Sud-
denly I thought of my gaping, gummy
grin, and promptly slapped the arti-
ficial chewers back into place. Now.,
don't say it—that one is true, too.. •
* * *
One reader asked, why do you al-
ways make Susie appear to be cross
and out of sorts. She always seems
to be mad at you or something, and
almost always talks to you in a sar-
castic manner. 'Well, dear reader,
to tell you the truth, I only write
about the messes that Susie and I
get into. Actually we have a lot of
fun and have many memories of
good times — and a scrap book to
prove it. You may remember the
story about the bike hilcc, the flat tire
and the rain. Those things happened
and we have pictures here to prove it.
As a matter of fact, the taxi driver
who brought us home always greets
us with—"well, It looks like a nice
day for a hike, I think it's going to
ram."
Susie is not really as cross or hard
to get along with as I make her ap-
pear to be. Why, In fact, last Christ-
mas she gave me a watch, and this
year she gave me a cigar. Hrnrnmm,
there's something wrong there some
place, Oh, well, she probably was
broke.
* * *
Looking back over last year's files
we notice a number of Susie stories.
The first was in March; about the
Egg and I. Then in April we re-
ported on the sucker fishing. The
next was in June and this was written
by the little lady herself. She tried
to expose me, but it was all a line of
guff. In August we did a story on
our sailing experience. 'What a day
that was! Then in September it
Was the bike hike. And in October
we helped put up venetian blinds.
That was the last of Susie for last
year.
Well, as we told :you a few lines
back, she's a great kid, You'll hear
more of her this year too. Why,
just now, she brought us a cup of '
tea and a toasted bacon. And another
thing, dear reader, those stories were
really on the level. So the next time
You read a Susie story, stop wonder-
ing about her. She really exists and
howl She just belted me over the
ear for writing this. I didn't notice
her standing there reading over my
shoulder. I hereby retract what I
said. Ain't she ignorant?
TABL j'ALKS 1S 1
Good Eating The Scotch Way
In the lowlands of Scotland the lassies once wore broad bonnets
called scones, Whether these bonnets gave their name to the buns,.
or whether the buns inspired the bonnets was never recorded by the
Scotch. Either way, scones make superlative eating, especially when
ready -to -eat bran is used to give them a nut -like taste.
For a festive touch, use cranberries as a filling for these tasty
thong] es.
Jelly Scones
1'4 cups sifted flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
teaspoon ealt
1 tablespoon sugar
,aa cup ready -to -eat bran
34 cup shortening
2 eggs
aaa cup light cream
34 cup cranberry sauce or your
favorite jam or jelly.
Sift flour with baking powder,
salt and sugar; add bran. Cut in
shortening. Separate one egg; beat
the egg white slightly, then measure
out 1 tablespoon and keep for glaze.
Beat remaining eggs and add to
first mixture with cream, Stir until.
'dough follows fork around bow!'.
Roll out on lightly floured board to
/-inch thickness; cut into 254 inch
squares. Place 1 teaspoon cran-
berry sauce in centre of each
square; fold diagonally and press
points together. Moisten edges,
crimp with fork, Brush with re-
served egg white; sprinkle with
sugar. Bake in hot oven (450 dg.
F.) about 12 minutes.
Yield: 12 scones.
The King's Coaches
Neither of the two principal car-
riages used in the Royal weeding
procession was originally intended
for Royal use.
The Glass Coach was made in
1881 by John W. Peters, to the
order of the Lord Mayor -elect of
London, Sir Whitaker Ellis. It
was bought by the Crown in 1911
for use at the Coronation of King
George V, and mince then it has
been used by Royal brides. It is
so called because there is rather less
wood in its bodywork than in the
other coaches of the Royal Mews.
It is rather less ornate than the
Irish State Coach. This coach,
once the property of a Lord Mayor
of Dublin, was admired and bought
by Queen Victoria during a visit to
Ireland in 1852 It is normally
used by the King for the opening
of Parliament.
The State Coach proper, which
was built in 1761, weighs four tons
and is, of course, unsuitable for a
trotting. procession.
Near the Mark
The teacher was trying to give
her small pupils at mental picture
of a barrel without disclosing the
name of the article.
"The object I have in mind",
she explained, "is large and round,
being nearly as big one way as the
other, and if laid on its side and
started at the top of a hill, it would
roll to the bottom. Now, who can
tell what it is?"
A little hand went up, and the
teacher said, "All right, Marjorie;
what do you think I was describ-
ing?"
"My daddy!" came the unexpect-
ed reply,
