That Time of Year
Country kitchens are places of
sheer delight in September. Sunlight
filters through windows clustered
with ivy and flowering plants to
dapple the piles of garden produce.
The scents, smells and sounds prove
the art of canning, pickling and pre-
serving is not completely lost.
The spicy scent betrays tomatoes
bubbling in kettles and being trans-
formed into chili sauce. Sunlight
makes jewels of corn kernels speckled
with flecks of green and red pepper
in jars labelled "Corn Relish -67"
with a loving care rivalling a vint-
ner's pride in a vintage year. Slim,
green gherkins bob in a secret, pre-
servative solution whose mystery
k ac inherited or perfected by the
lady of the household as carefully

Exercising
Some people are very forgetful
They promise to do something then
excuse themselves for not having
done it by saying, "Oh, I forgot".
This is a phrase that is more often
on one's tongue than any other. For-
getting is a bothersome thing; and
a dangerous one. It provokes mental
and physical trouble. In some cases
it is a forerunner of disease. From
these spring all sorts of trouble.
If we don't do something about it,
this forgetting sets up a bad condi-
tion of the mind. It produces leth-
argy, laziness, indifference, and care-
ers of Europe.
It is the time when baskets of
fruit and vegetables may even be
crowded into tiny, apartment kitch-
ens. It is harvest time and most
women respond instinctively to prep-
aration for the bleak season of win-
ter. They pridefully know that none
of man's devices and processes for
mass preservation of produce of the
harvest can really touch the simple
one that includes a woman's bene-
diction.
On a blustery day when winter
seems permanent they will be re
warded by family and husbandly re-
sponse to a jar of home pickles or
preserves. It will have in it the
subtle essence of sunlight, full harv-
est flavor and the satisfaction of a
September kitchen.—(Montreal Star)
the Mind
lessness. From these spring all sorts
of trouble.
Bad memory comes from bad meth-
ods. It is one thing not to be able
to recite Shakespeare, and such in-
ability may be excused, but it is an-
other, quite inexcusable thing to
forget something we have promised
to do.
We must, if we would be success-
ful in life, listen, take it in, concen-
trate. Forgetting, if we are not
careful, will be an easy beginning
of that most dreadful thing—senile
decay. We must exercise our mind.
—(Grenfell Sun)
Dogs
One of the most controversial sub-
jects in any town or city is dogs.
Every town has its problems with
dogs — and dog owners. It is true
that often the conteroversy is in-
itiated by people who don't own dogs
butthe reason they give is the dogs.
Dog problems are often like the
problems of juvenile delinquency.
Most of the juvenile delinquency
problems stem from delinquent par-
ents and not delinquent children.
Dogs can't be blamed for many of
the dog problems but the owners
who are responsible for the actions
of the dogs are really the problem.
There are few people who do not
like dogs but when a neighbor com-
plains about a dog digging up a lawn
or flower bed or a dog that barks or
yips half the day and night, the
owner often jumps to the conclusion
his dog is hated by the complainer.
Although most people like dogs, the
actions of uncontrolled dogs often
cause hard feelings between neigh-
bors and this is a situation that no
small town can really afford.
Often times a barking or digging
dog that causes strain or disgust is
not reported because no one wants to
cause trouble in his neighborhood.
The dog owner takes unfair advant-
age of such situations and allows the
animal more freedom; all of which
only adds to the hardship suffered
by those kind enough to refrain from
reporting.
Every town and city has a dog con-
trol by-law but some find such by-
laws hard to enforce; mainly because
they cannot find people who will
testify in court to the nature of the
complaint. This only adds to the
difficulty of controlling dogs.
The ideal situation would be to
have every dog owner a truly con-.
scientious citizen and neighbor who
would consider how his neighbor
feels when a town owned dog makes
a noise or upsets garbage cans or
digs holes in lawns. Many keep their
dogs in the house and they are to be
commended. We urge others to do
the same.—(Nanton News)
