Goidblurii,'i` Minute quantities of heavy metals.'" such as silver, lead, tin, zinc, iron, upper and aluminum were among nineteen found in hair. Many of the heavy metals participate in the chemical processes of the skin. A better understanding of the kinds and relative amounts of the different metal` that normally are found in hair, nails and skin will enable doc- tors to barn more about various skin diseases, Dr, Goldhlnnr said.

It is one of those old fashioned rooms with wood -panelling all around - and six doors, two windows,, three cupboards and a big. closed -up fireplace. So there is plenty of we odwork to pant. It is a • very dark room and 1 was determined to brighten it somehow. So here is how 1 (I'd it. Ceiling peach; wails light turquoise; and the wood- work light coral -pink! Tritu for cupboard handles and knobs, also the hack of glass cupboard, will be deep coral -when 1 can get it. The cretonne rurta.ns, cottage style, include all the colours just mentioned. The floor is maple, and is being treated to a coat of hard finish -slow drying stuff, so I lead to leave a track for us to walk on to get in and out of the var''ous rooms. I didn't think Part- ner would take too k ndly to the idea of having to'go out the front door first thing in the morning and ali around the house to get to the kitchen!

And it is surprising what treaeures can be unearthed from attics and cellars, A cracked mir- ror can be cut and squared to form alt attractive table centre -piece; an old vegetable tureen filled with flowers or fixed up as a miniature garden completes the picture, Well, it is the week -end again -- and by working early and late I managed to get the house straight- ened around. Daughter was to come out on Sunday -but missed the bus. Bob wasn't sure whether he could get home . . . and then he came. Our unpredictable child- ren! This afternoon Partner and 1 explored the new highway that runs past our gate. Then we cut across country to the sandhills from whence the construction com- pany. operates. It being Sunday there was no actual, work going on but a watchman on duty explain- ed to us all the intricate details of the huge "hot -mix" machinery. The boiler for the mixer was still going full blast -the mixer has' to be kept hot, weekdays and Sun- days -if it were allowed to cool the asphalt would harden and be worse than useless as it would then gum things up completely. Itt the sandhills,which had hem left exposed by the power shovels, we noticed dozens and dozens ok holes in the sides of the bills- nests of the sand -martins, The little birds were flying bade an4 forth by the hundred, I azo sore,. Darting in and out of their nests, chattering among themselves and generally having a great time, So was Honey, who was with us, Suddenly she took after a swallow that was flying low. It zoomed over a sandbank. We called Hon- ey just in time to stop her zooming over the bank as well. The country is still very lovely with luxuriant growth in lelds, pastures and woods. The wheat, to my surprise, is already in head. Plenty of work in sight.
