Millions of vjewers witnessed the operation and heard the doctor in charge mutter instructions to his assistants. The telecast was staged in connection with the Amer- ican Medical Association convention. Hf2'VwvN!CL':...•S Iii ,fly;.M Gwa dolin.e. P Cto,.>'ke A few weeks ago there was a slight hue and cry regarding the practise of sealing food containers with Wire staples. I was greatly in sympathy with that objection. Packages so sealed were bard to open and if a staple flew while being pried open there was no tell- ing where it had landed. But house- hold supplies were not our only worry. Laying mash, which now comes in paper bags, was also fas- tened with staples -a bigger and stronger variety. One had to be very careful in prying them off in case one of the staples might acci- dentally drop into the laying mash. Finding a needle in a haystack would be no more difficult than looking for a wire staple in a bag of laying mash. And wire staples can hardly be recommended as a good supplementary addition to the laying hens' regular ration. One staple imbedded in the gizzard of a hen could cause serious trouble. Which reminds the ... one time we had a rooster -a fine, healthy specimen of a bird, who suddenly went off his head. He didn't appear to be sick but moped around on the roost all day. He finally re- covered. Some months later the rooster was killed to provide roast chicken for our table. When I cleaned the poor thing I found a three-inch nail stuck right through his gizzard -in much the same way as a Cupid's arrow is pictured through the heart. How the rooster ever lived is a mystery. Small won- der it sat around on the roost. And so, thinking of the nail, I was very glad last week to find our laying mash was machine - stitched across the top instead of being fastened with staples. Now I am hoping that grocers will dis- continue the practise of using little staples to fasten bags of raisins, currants, and other foodstuffs that come to the store in bulk. Well, we have run into telephone trouble. For months I have been worrying the telephone company to put new bells' on our phone as half the time it was impossible to re- cognize the 'ing, with the result that 1 was always butting in on calls that were meant for other parties on the line. Finally we got our bells. Now when the telephone rings it scares ,the life out of me -and also the dogs. So we have dogs harking and the phone ring- ing all at the salve time. Well, that's all right in the day -time - we can get used to it. But Satur- day night we were dead to the world and of course the telephone had to ring. I thought it was about two in the morning, and I knew Bob wasn't home so it isn't hard to guess what my first thoughts were. By the time I took down the receiver I was shivering. It was Daughter -and the time was 11.30 p.m.! Still early hours (or city folk but the middle of the night to us older folk down on the farm. Daughter had tried to get us earlier in the evening but couldn't get through. The call was to tell us she and a friend would be out in the morning. For the weekend we also had Partner's brother and daughter, Betty, also Bob and a friend of his. Two of them are here with us yet, and will be until Tuesday noon• Brother Colin is busy making window screens, Noth., ing like putting your visitors to work! It has been a lovely weekend - the first warm weather we have had this year• And just when we were threatening. to get a small space heater. ,UI? until now we have been too Warm with a furnace go- ing, and too cold without it. That is what happens when the house is insulated. A space heater in the living room would just about. de the trick and keep the house com- fortable for in-between seasons. Last night we had our first 'thun- derstorm of the season, but it didn't amount to much. Not here, at least. According to radio reports there was plenty of Caniag*e along the shores of Lake Simcoe. Bob would probably run into' it on his way back to camp Sunday night. Surprising the difference a week's growth gives to the coun- try. Alfalfa and Timothy are quite a good height now and red clover is coining into blooms. Strawberries are in more plentiful supply and do they look tempting! But suppose potatoes will compete with strawberries for ft:st favor in the public eye. One day last week I had a postcard from a friend holi- daying in Virginia. I was amused at the message she sent .... "Won- ' derful time, beautiful scenery,' first class meals -but no potatoes;"' Maybe someone will come along with a popular song -"Yes, we have no potatoes!" Shortage of po- tatoes may be inconvenient but it can hardly be called a national calamity -it may even be advan- tageous by eliminating some of the starch from our daily diet.
