To create such a wed- ding picture, start early to settle questiona of budgeting, dress, eti- quette. The type of wedding you have depends on your wedding dress. If it's to be a formal gown with veil, good taste s: s that other details be formal, too. But if you choose a floor -length dress, a short veil or none, the other details can also lie less elaborate. It's up to you to decide which you can afford, for to your famiy els most of the expense.

'lose to Toronto, there is the Summit, Dagmar and Raglan. Dagmar now has two ski tows and a new lodge, while Raglan boasts its first modern tow. Farther afield, Ottawa is, and has been, a great ski country for 'lo these many years' and the people in the area have a variety of ski spots to choose from. As far as we can learn, the teeners of West- ern Ontario lose out on this sport with very few really good skiing hills. Seems the guys and gals down there go in more for hockey and skating. When your local ski club has a meet, send along the results and we'll be pleased to publicize the event. In the meantime, don't break your neck. Winter Wonderland While on the subject of winter, we would like to mention what we think is the most picturesque winter spot in the Province of Ontario. Two weeks ago we left hone at 7 a.nr. on the coldest January morn- ing In niany years (around 20 be- low, remember?) for Morrisburg, Prescott and other points. Well, on the way we shot north to Havelock. From there we went east to Marmora and Madoc—and that few miles to Marmora is something to see in winter. The road h winding and hilly, but what scenery! Here h truly a cameraman's paradise. As you come over a -short rise you find a small house nestled at the foot of a hill, a tall spiral of smoke ascend- ing from its chimney. Travelling along between the two high walls of snow you meet a man with horse and sled. His dog jumps and rolls in the snow as it tags along behind or bounds on ahead. Yes sir, here is a f U. S.

Farther east, just out of Morrisburg, you can see the oil freighter that sank in the St. Lawrence last September. Still lying in the middle of the river with her bow sticking out of the water she presents a picture indeed! Steam rising from the river shrouds her in mystery as the ice and water flows over her deck and past. Well so much for skiing and • winter travelling. Do They Make You Sick, Too? Have you been listening to the political talk of late, since King has decided to retire from the field and since the war on prices has begun? You should, providing, of course, that you want to be sick. We lave been listening to these radio speeches lately and they make us laugh. Talk about kids fighting over marbles; brother, they are left behind a mile. How educated men, mien of supposed dignity and distinction, can talk and act so childishly and mean really gets me; and still our parents and elders will vote and elect them to run the country. This goes on while we are being taught to be honest, sincere and real good ladies and gentleman. Do they make you • sick, too? Tf so, write and tell us about it. The Letters Are Coming Letters are coming in, following the announcement of our band con- test and we will have the winning letter in this space next week. May- be you didn't bother to write this time. Well, you have a chance next month, but more about that later. On TI.e Radio Dial Did you know that the Mayor of your town, my town and all the little places is now on the air each Satur- day night at 6.45 p.m.? Yes sir, folks, your friend and mine, Andy Clarke, is telling his famous stories every Saturday night. You'll enjoy him.

Such famous singing stars as Nelson Eddy, John Charles Thomas and Jean Dickinson will be singing the songs made famous by such writers as Victor Herbert, Jerome Kern and many others. Here is a family treat each week. Sunday evenings for an inspiring, dramatic and unusual story listen to "The Greatest Story Ever Told" at 6.30 p.m. This is a weekly dramatization of a well known bible story—supported by a large chorus of mixed voices.

SALMON GETS NIS MOT IN THE DOOR,THROW THE SWITCH AND,VRESTO, HE BET F SHOCKY Ill-r.,;11iftj, CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke And how did you weather our little sub -zero winter? It was pret- ty sudden, wasn't it? I suppose if the truth were told this paper could be filled wih anecdotes of pipes that froze; of cars that wouldn't start; and how low the thermometer drop- ped at this place and that. But I don't think anyone could' think up as strange a story as I have to tell. That night, that bitter twenty - below -zero night, one of our cows had a calf—and the calf performed the almost impossible feat of drowning itself in the water tank at the barn * * Partner had been watching the mother of this calf very carefully, as she was over her time. Every night this week, just before he went to bed, ise would put on boots and overalls and pay a final visit to the barn. If the boys were out late they also would take a look at the cow before turning in.. But it was always the same story—no calf. It was the same thing Thursday night. But on Friday morning when the boys went the barn there was every evidence that the cow had had her calf—although the calf was nowhere to be seen, Presently Bob cane 10 the house for a flash- light and to tell Partner they had a first-class mystery to solve. That was too much for Partner so then he went to the barn too. The boys having looked in all the possible pl Tces for a calf to hide, Partner started looking in impossible places. Presently he noticed the water in the trough was discoloured—and there sure enough was the calf— and it was a big one! * Perhaps 1 should explain that the trough is an extra big flat open tank about three feet high, stands in an out-of-the-way corner of the barn and is for the purpose of catching water piped in from an overflowing well at the back of the barn. As you will have surmised, the trough was not covered, nor had it ever seemed necessary. It has been there for about seven cars and calves y v s have been born and raised without any mishaps, insofar as the trough was concern- ed—but of course there always has to be a first time. Naturally losing a calf that way is quite a loss hut what bothers me most is the fact that the poor little thing was drowned. I can hardly bear to think of it especially as it must have been particularly strong and active. . ,,, After breakfast—and after the birth and untimely death of the calf had been discussed a dozen times, young John went to start his car—he uses it every day for transportation -in a part-time job. The car, of course, refused to start. But Bob had no trouble at all with his truck s0 he towed Johnny down the lane. In a little while the motor started—and then it caught firel The anti -freeze had boiled over on to the hot motor and ignited. Be- tween then the two boys got the fire under control before too much damage had been done, except that anti -freeze to the tune of $8.50 had to be replaced and some re- wiring may be necessary. John said the anti -freeze had tested eleven below just recently. Usually that is plenty but I always insisted on a twenty -below test when I had anything to do with a car. Which now, by the way, I haven't! * r e "The Greening" still lives here but we don't own it. Early last fall John bought it. I no longer felt the nests of a car as Bob has a very nice little 34 ton "pick-up" which h just as easy for nee to drive as a car. And since most of my driv- ing is just back and forth to town— and not any more than I have to In "winter—the car seemed like something we could do without, and since John was determined to get a car of some kind it worked out very well all round. One person said to me afterwards—"But of course you can still drive the cart" Well, maybe—John has said so anyway. But the idea doesn't appeal to me. To my way of thinking it would have all the earmarks of a "corny" deal. So far I have used it only once.
