Here's a real piece of news for.
all those interested in Wild life and
who feel that we must pitch in and
nave some of Canada's great nat-
ural resources before it i:• too late:
A,.note in the
mail from friend,
Manly Miner
tells tis that the
Jack Miner'
Foundation is to
sponsor Nation-
al Wild Life
weak. (April
10t1 - 10th, in-
clustvej. M r
Miner gavens a scoop on this, and
we couldn't get it. in last week.
Manly tellsus'that the -educational
department of the Foundation has
been devoting these winter months
to preparing a program for that
week. There will be no tag day..
It will be strictly an educational
week and no money will change
bands in connectionwith same.
It will be a week when all church-
es of all denominations will be
asked Sunday, April 11 th, lo em-
phasize in their sermons God's
great outdoors and how important
it is to conserve the natural 're-
sources God has 'given us. School
teachers will be asked to stress
the value of bird life to their class-
es and service clubs will be asked
t. have someone' speak on wild life,
at their meetings that week. So
keep that week in mind,
By the way, we have a bird stick,
banging in the apple ,tree in the -
back yard and Mr. Woodpecker
sure makes short order of the suet
we put in the holes on the stick
and prices what they are these days
too.
Yipel Did You Read That Too?
Yesterday the local tailor called
us in and whispered in our ear,
'You should have a new suit. It's
not just the money I'm thinking
about. In fact you'll thank ire in a
few weeks." Well to make a story
short, we read today that suits are
expected to go up another $10.00
In price — topcoats, too. Where is
it going to end, he asked, mopping
his brow.
Part Of The Answer
We were quite interested in an
article appearing in the February
11, issue of the Family Herald.
Titled, "Why I Left The Farm".
It is part of the answer to my
column of a few weeks ago. The
writer states that the reason so
many young people leave the farms
is because their fathers will not or
do not put them on a weekly or
monthly wage. Seems like papa
doles ant the sheckle's when Jun-
ior asks for them — and only then.
The young men do not like this and
as a result head for the city and
steady wages. Seems ,o me this
problem could easily he overcome
by poppa and junior having a quiet
talk and getting the natter settled.
Nu need for the farmer's son to
pull up stakes just because he hasn't
a steady income. This should be
overcome by a little compromising
between father and son,
P. S. If you read this column,
write and tell me so:
Tables, Turned
It was lunch hour at the lime
works, and Pat's two buddies, de-
ciding .to play a little joke on him
' during his absence, drew the features
of a donkey upon the back of his
coat. In due time Pat returned and
presently hove in sight hearing the
lime -decorated coat.
"What's the trouble, Pat?" asked
one casually.
"Nothing much," re plied Pat,
equally indifferent, "only I'd loike
to know which one of yea wiped your
face on me coat"
CHRONICLES OF GINGER FARMS
By Gwendoline P Clarice
Yesterday I went to Toronto —
Uy bus. It turned out to be an aw-
ful day, raid, slusb, sleet and ice,
But the passengers boarded the
bus quite hopefully at 6:45 for their
return trip that night, thinking the
bus would get them 'home all right
no matter what the weather. In-
stead of that it was we, the paasen-
gers, who brought tl)e bus homel
Everything was fine as long as
we were on the highway, but half
way home the bus services a round-
about route over gravel roads. it
was then that the fun began. The
road was a glare of ice and at
every little grade the heavy vehicle
was ,completely. helpless .and sat
there with wheels spinning. There
were about seven men amonb the
p: ssengers and each time we stalled
they all piled out and shoved away
behind the bus. Generally they
managed to get it moving but on
one hill the bus just wouldn't
budge. Fortunately we were near
a house and our little army of men
went begging for ashes. The driv-
er remarked as he waited - "I hope
they had good fires going all day
today!" He is quite a lad, that
driver ... a keen sense of Humor
and very good at his job.
u f a
It was funny • to see the little
procession coining back, each man
carrying a box of 'ashes . . . and'
they did the trick. Of course, once
the bus began to move the driver
was afraid to stop until he was on
a down grade or at least a level
spot where there was some trac-
tion, which meant that the men
had to follow on foot. This time
we must have travelled at least
half a mile before it was safe to
stop -' and there were the, poor,
dear men trailing along behind on
the slippery road. Finally they
caught up with us, climbed in, the
driver let out the clutch . , . and
nothing happened! The bus, appar-
ently, was ready for another rest.
One man said - "What did we get
in for?" So they got out again and
with their persuasion the bus start-
ed off once more. She rolled along
nicely until we came to another
hill - this time there was' no house,
no ashes and the bus got sultry and
wouldn't budge an inch. Present-
ly a jeep came along and with the
combined forces of jeep and gentle-
men we moved again. Of course it
took a little while, and as we waited,
there was a dead silence among the
women passengers inside the bus
as we listened to what was going
on behind us. Into this silence,
Maurice, the driver, remarked with -
..out benefit of explanation - "Friday
, . February the thirteenth!"
Paris Skirts Only
9 Inches off Ground
Smaller waists and skirts nine
inches off the ground are keynotes
of thc•spring styles.
The long skirt has come to stay
and some designers have slightly in-
creased their length.
As for the wasp waist, they
a.e back to 1880, with a fuller bust -
line and more pronounced hips.
There is a general movement
away front the one-piece frock, and
at least one designer has abandon-
ed the tailored coat and skirt.
The new materials are all of a
piece frith the period—the taffetas,
lawns, organdies and muslins of
mid-Victorian days.
Another Victorian touch is that
of stockings to match frocks. But
they are in modern nylon—blue,
pink or jade green toned with
brightly colored parasols and hat
veils shot with many colors.

1 don't know hon' many times in
al: we stopped on the road -, we
lost count completely - but 1 do
know it was 9:30 when the ,bus fin-
ished
in ished its journey - and it should
have been 7:11. And the amen cert-
ainly did plenty of walking. It was
really quite a trip, but I must con-
fess, except for the fact that 1 -knew
they would be worrying at home,
I rather enjoyed it. 1't turned what
otherwise would have been a mono-
tonous journey, into a real adventure.
But we did get hungry! A young.
neighbour and 1 shared a seat and
neither of us had bothered to eat
before leaving the city, so our supper
was one chocolate bar: and a. packet •
of lifesavers divided between us.
When I got home Partner wel-
comed me by saying - "Why in the
world didn't you stay overnight?"

Bob had a funny experience too
when he started out to meet me -
a..7 o'clock! He was driving the
"pick-up" and when it got down
to the road it made a complete 1J
turn and started bade up the lane
again. Bob took it as an omen and
let it come. Then he parked the
little truck and went out again with
the big one.
As for my 'day in Toronto. It
took me five hours to find drapes
for our living room - the choice was
so limited and the price so appall-
ing I almost cants home without
any. Almost ... eveiftually I found
exactly whatI wanted.

The ex -serviceman had found his
way to Africa with a view to big -
game hunting. This first day out
with a gun brought him not only in
contact with the denizens of the jun-
gle but made him streak back for the
cabin, a big lion behind him.
"Quick, Pat," he shouted on ap-
proaching the hut, "open the door.
I'm bringing 'em back alive!"
