"rye never had time to develop a method, of work," said Miss McDon- aid,. "So many things to be done,so many cases to be handled seem to just flop down on my doorsteps and I go right at them, doing the job that lies nearest, without refereiice to any particular method." If all lack of method resulted as Miss Macdonald's is doing, the sys- tem would be, worth general adoption. Working under a board of influential Japanese citizens, the Canadian wo- mali ie a member, the only non- Jap- anese member, of a trustee board• of to, under whose direct manag-ement the important social service work is carried forward by Miss Maddonald and her co-workers, all Japanese. A recent most interesting develop- ment, which has received Government recogeition, is- the . establishment of a night school for factory girls in the city of Tokyo. A young Japanese girl of 23 is the head of the school, and teachers from city day schools give volunteer services in a course of study that is equivalent of first year high school, certificates for which re- ceive the sathe credit. Much of Miss Macdonald's work is prison visiting. Prison reform, inter- preted by this brilliant Canadian wo- man who has devoted her exception- al talents to the service of the pee - pie of Japan, is "prisoner's reform," "There are just twe kiads of people, you know," Miss Macdonald quoted cheerfully, "those who are ,M prison and those who ought to be." She docs not admit this wholesome statement to be true, but she is chiefly interested in the people who are in prison'and who are to conic out again to face a critical and, largely, anwelcdming world, To stand by these people un- til they have made a place for them- selves among the reputable citizens of the community is her chief mission, And although one does not hear it from Caroline Macdonald herself, there are ninny stories of the splendid results achieved among those whom the world .Was ready to accept only as criminalsstories that are epics of achievement and success. After tlee big quake Miss IVIacdon- aid and her fellow workers set about tu find adequate housing for their vork, and the present capacious resi- dence, which is much too interesting o be dubbed, merely a settlement louse, has been entirely paid for by apanese contributions including $15,- oo from the government. Miss Mee- donald is rettuming to Japan at the end of January. -RAN FORK IN LEG Mr. Russel Riley, of Mornington, recently met with a rather painful accident which has kept him confined to the house for some daYs. He was ascending the ladder of the silo, fork in hand, when the ice on one of the rounds brokeoff letting him fall with the result that one of the tines of the fork pierbed the calf of his leg to a considerable depth. PRESENTATIOT AT JAMESTOWN On Wednesday evening December 2ist, the friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

Thurston, This sta- tion is heard from coast to coast and is on 291 metres, WE HUMANS We sat at the hotel, waiting for the waitress to bring our dinner. "You know,' said he, "I hope some day to be rich foe just one reason: Then I can do so much good in the world." Just then the dinner was seracel. He• looked at his steak and grumbled. "Waitress," he shouted, told yeu I wanted it well done—take it back." She toole•it back.' He wanted another eoup af coffee, and impatiently beat a tattoo with the end of his knife upon the table to get the• girl's " attention. "Can't I get any service?" he said, as she hurried. up from serv' ing- a tab- le nearby. And so it went through the meal, not a kind word, that would have helped out a hard-working girl in a job that is liana at its' best Not a kind word, though he could have done so much good in the world, vvithout being rich. We humans—aren't ve a queer lot? liHere an.A There, =British Columbia's forest rangers and patrolmen report a 'reduction in forest fires costs of practically 90 per cent., compared with 1926.

This extension provides e new and short route into the teepiclly developing mining area. Turkey raising is a coining in- dustry in Alberta as a number sueoesses at various fairs would in- dicate. A recent metre in this con. nection is the formation of the :Al- berta Bronze Turkey Breeders' As- sociation, which is now aetive promoting and extending the tarke;e• breeding industry. According.

UNIQUE ALPHABET EGG The recent years have brought into the land of beingi the well-known "Alphabet Soup" the boon of the rest- aurants and cafes and the delight of soup -eaters throughout the entire North American continent, to say leo- thing, =perhaps, of Europe, England, Ireland, Scotland and Czecho-Slovakia Alphabet soup is the product of the new generation of man. To light has just been brought -an entirely new food, however-- "Alphabet ''Eggs." True, the eggs are not the direct pro- duct of modern man, but modern man has much to, do with the welfare of the hen which actually produces the newest of all foods, the alphabet egg. Wingham is the birthplace of the new product and a pullet of some 'eight Months' of age is the producer, This particular pullet has presented its owner with an egg on the shell of which is marked numerous letters of the alphabet, to say nothing of num- erals. The lethering's are inscribed in- delibly in the shell; but in no- way marks the interior of the egg.
