* The possibility that later on

Canadian hank of Commerce. out-
lined the way lit which secretaries
and treasurers should handle the
business affairs of the Ilranch en
tru=.ted to their care. A mimeo-
graphed copy of his informative ad-
dress ‘rill be available to W.I. sec-
retary -treasurers throughout the
province.
The rest of tete forenoon wits
taken up with group discussions of
officers' work and problems, fol-
lowed by a panel discussion in the
afternoon, at which the group
leaders sunlnlnr red their findings,
and discussed merits and disad-
vantages of the practices that had
been discussed. ;One contentious
question created a good deal of
ir
interest -"Should the District An-
nual be used as a get-to-gether for
anniversaries and for hearing guest
,,speakers;" The majority ruled that
the District Annual should be al-
most entirely a business meeting.
So that's that, ladies -no more an-
niversaries or speakers at your
District Annuals!
In regard to Branch meetings it
was agreed that guest speakers
sometimes provided a stimulus but
that having guest speakers too of-
ten frequently created lazy mem-
bers. To prevent this local talent
should be developed to the limit,
for one reason the surest way to
maintain interest among the mem-
bers was to keep then busy. Re-
ferring to the officers it was said
"the president provides the inspir-
ation and the secretary the pers-
piration." •
A pleasing highlight of the af-
ternoon was an address on "Leader-
ship" by Miss Ethel Chapman,
formerly women's editor of . the
Farmer's Magazine but now ap-
pointed to the staff of the Provin-
cial V.I. "Almost everyone has
some way in which she can be a
leader," said Miss Chapman. "There
are, of course, different types of
leaders but most of them can be
found in every local Branch. There
will be one person who can make
better pies than anyone else, an-
other who is splendid at getting
up a paper; or as convenor for ban-
quets or programmes. Or in music,
quilting • or speaking -almost every
person in every Institute has some
special talent. Sometimes it is ob-
vious but there are tithes when it
has to be discovered and develop-
ed." Miss Chapman thought one
good way for discovering hidden
talent was to provide more oppor-
tunity for discussion at W.I. meet-
ings. It not only brought out ideas
but was good training "for think-
ing on your feet." The speaker
made other pungent rancarks-Op-
portunities for leadership often
seemed greater in backward areas;
in more thickly populated places
leadership was often only the re-
sult of doing the job nearest to
you; a leader should let her fellow -
members in on her plans; the bet-
ter types of leader is also a good
follower; she likes and is interested
in people, and she is never afraid
to he friendly.
Miss Chapman mentioned that
Rural service by the Victorian Or-
der of Nurses was the result of
good leadership in Lincoln County.
It was a splendid and inspiring
address -1 was not surprised to
hear two women behind me say
one to the other -"Miss Chapman
is good, isn't she?" •
"Yes; what she says is so worth-
while and she is always so easy
to listen to."
1 Might add, they are my sen-
timents too.

Tops.l For
That Gardens Of Yours
Should Be Carefully Chosen
The indiscrininatt application of
topsoil is hardly an effective means
of improving soils which are basi-
cally poor and unproductive. Be-
sides the labor and expense involv-
ed, there is often the likelihood
that soil diseases and undesirable
weed seeds may be introduced. In
view of these obvious shortcomings,
certain other disadvantages of using
topsoil purchased from outside
sources must be taken into account.
Despite the problems it may in-
tensify, there are nutnerous cases
in which the use of topsoil niay be
the only feasible alternative. It
may often be employed in such
operations as grading, and to re-
place earth which has been lost
through the normal process of
erosion. In fact, in many sandy lo-
cations, especially near the sea-
shore, ' regular replenishment of
soil is almost a necessity because
of the unusual conditions encoun-
tered there. Then, too, many gar-
deners want a supply of topsoil
for spreading top -dressings.
Beware of Weeds
Since the composition of topsoil
may vary very:. widely from one
location to another, there exist few
fixed standards by which the in-
experienced buyer may be guided.
Countless truckloads of material
sold as. topsoil have possessed the
most unhappy faculty of growing
the most luxurient stands of poison
ivy, sour grass and assorted swamp
flora. in such cases. the good earth
may well prove more a blight than
a boom.
Users of topsoil in quantity,
such as municipalities and land-
scape contractors, have established
minimum standards to describe
the product. It should consist of a
balanced mixture of no more than
30 per cent each of sand, clay and
silt. The acid content should be
within the pH range of 5 and 7,
and a minimum of 6 per cent•
should be natural, decomposed or-
ganic mat t e r. Furthermore, it
should contain no wood, rocks,
large roots, or foreign matter of
any kind. Only the upper layer,
minus the sod is acceptable. Lumps
of hardpan or subsoil are looked
on with disfavor.
From the viewpoint of determin-
ing optimum texture, the screen
test is highly significant. When
thoroughly dry, 99 per cent should
pass through a one -inch screen,
and not more than 3 per cent
should be retained by a quarter -
inch mesh. From 40 to 60 per cent
should drop through a sieve with
openings the size of insect mesh.
Visit to Source
This is • not intendedto irii}ily
that the home owner must be a
soil technologist in order to pur-
chase topsoil. Nevertheless, some
preliminary investigation is war-
ranted before placing an order, If
the dealer has a reputation for re-
liability, a personal visit to the
source of supply may be sufficient.
Earth dug from the tops of knolls
and similar high spots should be
avoided, for such locations may
contain shallow deposits with a
high sand and gravel content, from
which much of the organic nutri-
ments may have been leached out.
Low, wet land should also make
the buyer skeptical; it may have
excessively sour soil.
Topsoil is usually sold by the
cubic yard, or by the truckload
with tate cubic content specifically
indicated. Since quotations will
vary with haulage distances, price
comparisons should be trade am-
ong neighboring dealers, And when
ordering, it should be understood
that the soil is not to be delivered
in a frozen or muddy state.
A little advance planning may
save many extra steps and un-
necessary work. The home owner
should arrange to have the con-
signment unloaded where it is both
convenient and accessible. This
may mean laying out planking over
which the truck may pass, or
clearing away obstructions. Soil
should not be piled near open
drains, where it may wash away
during a rainstorm, Neither should
it be allowed to lie on lawns for
any length of time, since the grass
beneath may burn.
Famous Beds
"And so to bed • , ." often wrote
Pepy*. the celebrated diarist; and
no doubt with the ending of his day's
labour he suited the action to the
word by snuggly tucking himself •
up in his spacious, canopied bed.
There, revelling in the luxurious
softness of his resting -place, richly
hung with red damask, trimmed with
fine fringes, the great man perhaps
did dwell on the day that was past
and the morrow to be.
Tut-ank-Anien's consort, too, the
lady Ankhesenamun, had a magnifi-
cent bed, It rested upon a pair of
finely carved enlongated heraldic .
lions, and had ornate drapings of
finely woven lined spread over a
palliasse. No soft downy pillow for
her; the lady preferred to sleep on
a hard neck -rest of wood!
Gold and white was the colour -
scheme of Napoleon's ,Josephine's
bedroom. with hangings of yello'i
satin and bed -cover of green.
Visitors to the Ideal Hosie Exhi-
bition in Olympia in London this year
have an opportunity of seeing per-
fect reproductions of these and other
historic beds and bedre •ms.
Mr. Pickwick must have been
blessed with some form of radar
to find his way about in the dark!
His bedroom is crowded with or-
namentation and furnishings; the
bed an elaborate creation of brass,
with curtain of rich bottle -green silk
and velvet. Providing a setting for
this splendour is a rich wallpaper
liberally sprinkled with rambling
roses and green leaves.
