HRONICLES %NGERFARM f Geser d.ottr.e. P Clo.rlez When you come to the end—not of a perfect day, but a perfect week, Alen you are glad to sit alone for awhile, if only to rest your weary bones. At least that is the way I felt last week after spending day after day in the garden --pruning, Blipping, weeding and transplant- .. Never before have 1 done such complete clean-up job in the fall. And I Mill need another two days to really finish the job. One thing is certain it was good for me—and it was good for the garden, even though my hands are a sight to behold. . . and my knees I during the day a rubber kneeling mat was my only salvation—and at night a good rubbing of liniment. ar net was always saying—"Why P t Y don't you let up a bit?" But how could I let up when we were have- ing such wonderfully co-operative weather—a high of 70, no less. Incidentally Partner didn't show much sign of letting up himself, He was doing very much the same kind of work as I was, only heavier, and along the fences. Every day we had a glorious bonfire as a re- sult of our combined efforts be- cause whenev,er 1 had so much brush around me I could hardly move, Partner would come to the rescue, take away the brush and burn it. While we were thus en- gaged Bob was chugging away in the front field at his fall plough- ing. So together it was a typical picture of autumnal farm activities, complete with a casualty thrown 4609 SIZES 24"— 25' tette good skirt—the foundation of our separates wardrobe!

One day at noon Partner walked into the kitchen, put out his hand and said—"Do you think you can handle this, or is it one for the doctor?" "This" was a huge thorn that had gone in at one side of Partner's rhumb and come out the other. Not just under the skin but through the fleshy part of the thumb. 1 looked at it dubiously and prepared to oper- ate. But then I thought—"What if it should break? It would certainly be one for the doctor then. In which case Partner might as well go first as last and save trouble. No sense taking chances with a thing like that. There have been too many fatalities resulting from blood poi- soning from injuries even less ser- ious." So it was the doctor who re- moved the splinter. He also gave Partner a shot of something --pre- sumably anti -tetanus serum.

Doors banged, windows rattled, and the kitchen fire smoked. it was a grand day 'for clean- ing house! So quickly our weather can change. . . one day working a house dress; the next day going in the garden and too hot even in down town and getting my fur coat out of storage. Now the weath- er has Moderated again. The sun is shining brightly overhead although along the horizon there are banks of slow-moving billowy white clouds—a sky to delight an artist. But why should I say an artist particularly? One doesn't have to be an artist to appreciate a lovely sky. It may take the brush of an artist to reproduce such beauty on canvas but certainly ordinary folk like you and me are quite as well able to appreciate these pictures Nature paints. A funny thing happened Saturday morning. I had been working away for some time when suddenly I noticed niy watch had stopped— watches have a way of doing that if one forgets to wind them. The bedroom clock was going but I knew it wasn't right, so I turned on the radio to get the time. I heard a newscast going •on and the an- nouncer wound up by saying "Our next newscast will be at eleven o'clock." "That's fine—the morning is early yet," I said to myself. And then I stopped in my tracks, "But that's crazy -- or the radio is. Tt must be later than 10 o'clocic," So 1 listened again, and presently the announcer said — "This is station so-and-so." (I have forgotten what the call letters were.) Presently 1 realised it was Niagara Falls I was listening to — and .Niagara Falls is on standard time! Maybe I should start a few clocks going in this house again and put some on fast tisne and some on standard! I suppose there must be many a comedy of errors these days as a result of this two-time confusion. How nice it will be when we are back to normal and can hear our favourite programmes without key- ing up half the night to do so. Now I am going out to get a l'Mt picking of tomatoes. Think of it— tripe tomatoes in the garden the lest week in October!

UNDAY S€IIOOL LESSON By Rev, Barclay Warren THE GREAT INVITATION Isaiah 55:1-11 GOLDEN TEXT: Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Hint while He is near. Isa. 55:6, Here indeed is a buyers' market. "He that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat," Isaiah proclaims the great invitation in terms readily understood. He offers a very poign- nant reproof for our day, "Where- fore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your lab- our for that which satisfietb not?" What millions are squandered an- nually in Canada in such pursuits! Isaiah offers a better way: "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous than his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD and He will have mercy upon.him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." The golden text reminds us that the matter of seeking the Lord is an urgent one. If we postpone there will come a time when Ile will not be found. Deatl will close the door of opportunity. Also we may harden our heart, against the Gos- pel call, until God is no longer near. This matter is more urgent than that of insurance on your life. or property. We ought to seek the Lord right now. You will be utter- ly amazed at the good things which God has in this life for those who come to the Gospel feast. Here is life, eternal ife. 0 that we might become earnest as Christian in Pil- grim's Progress who put his fingers in his ears, and ran on, crying, "Life! life! eternal lifer The lesson closes with an affirm- ation of the power of God's word. "It shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please." When the works of Marx and Hitler will have been for- gotten, God's Word still standeth sure. Let us search the Scriptures. Better Let The Doctor Prescribe Twelve -year-old Mary Smith complained, "Mother, I've a sharp pain in my right side, and I feel nauseated." "Tell me about it," suggested her cautious mother. "When and where did you first notice the pain?" "Yesterday. It started with a dull adbe in my ahomach," "You'd better go to bed and rest a while. Well watcih. it. If it isn't any better by noon, we'll call the doctor." "May I have a hot water bottle?" "That isn't wise," answered her mother. "Should this turn out to be appendicitis, heat or cold only dulls the pain, but does not lessen the danger." Later, when Dr. Ferguson came and made a blood count, he bun- dled Mary right off to the hospital for further diagnosis. He had found a sharp increase in the "white count" of her blood. (In appendi- citis, like other infections, this is the body's own method of combat- ing invading germs). An operation followed soon after, Mary had no complications, writes Matilda Rose McLaren in "Successful Farming." Appendicitis is an inflammation or the appendix, a small worm - shaped organ attached to the be- ginning of. the large intestine. It probably starts with a blockage of the appendix by fecal matter from the large intestine. This then inter- feres with drainage, injures the KIDNEY ACTIVITY VITA.

It's not safe to wait, You shay have a severe attack of ap- pendicitis in which the inflamma- tion subsides without an operation, but never entirely clears up. Mild attacks may recur, and between them you may or may not feel well. In ouch cases, the physician may advise an operation, even if symp- toms are mild, because it's possible the next attack may be severe and you may not be able to get med- ical care quickly. If you have abdominal pain and nausea, you may also be constipat- ed or have diarrohea. But avoid taking a laxative or enema. Either may cause the appendix to burst and spread the infection into the abdominal cavity. The generalized abdominal infection which may fol- low is the gravest danger of acute appendicitis. While awaiting the doctor's ar- rival, avoid physical exercise. Rest in bed, Accept no food and Onto, tranatt =Mint of water for refresh. rent. Do not rub the abdomen, not apply heat or cold. Chances of death from acute app pendicitis are a great deal less to- day than they were even five yearre ago. The miraculous new sulphana- ride drugs andpencillin can wipe out infections overnight. And an appendectomy can be performed with great safety when it is done at once, before complications set fn.
