REAL EXERCISE :\ guest at one of those Florida health resorts flatly refused to fol- low the prescribed schedule of set - tip exercises and work-outs. "I cane here to eat and rest," he in- sisted. ".Exercise is ridiculous." As the guest was checking out, the proprietor pleaded: "Before you leave, just do one bit of exercise for me—to keep my record clear. Please just bend down, keep your knees stiff, and touch your valise." The man bent over and said, "Well, I'm touching my valise. What nnw?" "Open it," said the propri- etor, "and ;dive me hack my towels." * Chief Comforts Squalling Squaw Parade -weary feet at the County l=air made "Indian" Pattie Bellaire cry.

Back 'home again after a • wonderful six -clay holiday, which I spent on a farm just outside Ottawa. But 'the farm f was staying on was very dif- ferent from our own. It was a show place with 90 head of R.O.P. Guernsey cattle, housed in huge barns with all the usual accomo- dation that goes with such places, including fluorescent lighting over each stall. For field Work there was a full line of power machinery. There were also added features that attracted much public attention. In separate enclosures there was a Duck and two deer; tworacoons, some ducks of a fancy breed; guinea fowls and six pens of dif- ferent kinds of golden pheasants. Strutting around the yard were also a number of peacocks. two of then dead -white and the others with the traditional blue •- green -markings. At night they roosted on top of the silo—and;;;,wake me up each morning. Ll:ut3;tnately all these peacocks were minus their fantails as this .is the moult- ing season. The 'house stood in "That's so we can hear him if he falls out." landscaped grounds mac to the highway. Across the road lush green pasture sloped gently down to the Rideau River, However, my hostess and I did not linger Overly long at the farm. Instead we were out each day and really saw Ottawa. I had heard our capital was a lovely place but I was not prepared for the out- standing scenic beauty of its Can- al and rivers; its beautiful shade trees and the marvellous green- ness that was everywhere. For me water is always a major at- traction in scenery and in Ottawa one nearly always has it in sight front the Canal, the Rideau River or the Ottawa River. We went for drives and walks along the Parkways. and for a boat ride on the Canal. We saw Ottawa from the top of the Peace Tower and looked up to it from the valleys below: We drove along the shaded, winding road by Rideau Hall; we visited Hog's Back, Long Island and Manotick, and we- saw locks • open and close to let through pleasure yachts and motor boats. Here we picked up some surpt is- ing information. We naturally supposed there would be a toll for boat -owners using the locks. But no, even though it might be only a small motor launch, the locks would be operated free of charge, from 9 a.m. to 11 pan. As the man at -the winch observed—it is the only tax-free accomodation enjoy- ed by the travelling public. But free service has this result; the revenue received from the locks last year was considerably less than the actual operating costs. Which means, I suppose, that everybody pays — through taxation — while those who actually use the locks do so at no additional cost. Probably the outstanding feature of our sight-seeing pleasures was a trip by bus to Gananoquc and then a cruise 'by motor launch through the Thousand Islands. It was on one of those days when everyone on land was limp with the heat but on the water it was ideal. The Thousand Islands! Nothing T might write could adequately describe their beauty. For nearly three 'hours we cruised along the St. Lawrence River, weaving our way in and out and around the High Living—This London apart- ment house appears to be stand- ing on stilts.

It was begin- ning to get dusk and I had lta.d no better hick. Tlten I noticed the heifer x as behaving a little sus- piciously. 1 approached the spot where she stood and there was the calf completely hidden in a patch of tall grass and weeds as effec- tively as Moses its the bullrushes. Its triumph I slowly propelled the cow and calf through the tangled pasture back to the barn. This Cat Would>r&''t Leave Sinking Ship A cat nicknamed Carlson refused to leave a wrecked freighter off Land's Enc! recently. He had found the larder well stocked with chicken. A box -trap had to be set to rescue hint before the ship broke up. Ships' cats to -day are usually pampered pets, In the old days they had a definite job—keeping down the rats. But now, when ships are frequently fumigated and rats are few, a .sea -going cat can take things pretty easily. Tabbies love ships and are rarely seasick, Minnie, a handsome cat aboard a famous liner, earned fame as the favourite of passengers who strok- ed and fed her with titbits, She appeared half -drowned when she first walked up the first-class gang- way of the liner in New York, one snowy day. Sailors put her ashore three times because they thought the ship's canaries might fail prey to her. But Minnie won in the end. She walked up the third-class gang- way at the last tnotnent and sailed for England— the first of many transatlantic voyages she was des- tined to enjoy. Wines and Spirits The ship's cat and her five kittens had to be sealed up in the bond room when another liner arrived at Plymouth in 1947. The cats had made their home among thousands of bottles of wines and spirits, and when Customs men went to seal up the store they refused to come out. Thy were finally released when the ship continued her voyage to Am- sterdam. Saliors have been amazed at the sure-footedness of cats at sea even • ,end the RELIEF is LASTING For fast relief from headache get INSTANTINE. For real relief get INSTANTINE.

And woe betide any wandering dock cats which try to conte aboard when the ship touches port. The. ship's cat wiU invariably "see them off." Dockside Holidays Cats have been known to desert a ship in a foreign port and take a few days' holiday at the docks. They then stow away on the stent incoming ship of the same line, walk off again at the home port— and wait there for their original ship to arrive 1 When Captain E. F. Ferraby, piaster of the motor vessel Paringa, left Sydney the ship's black -and -white cat was mis- sing. "She was a nice little thing ann4 we were all very sorry," he said. "But after we had been in Britt - ban a couple of days another shite, the Aagetekerk, arrived front Sydney and hadn't been in a couple of hours when, trotting down the wharf, cane our little cat.
