Clarke The countryside is donning its autumn colours of red and gold; the blue jays are calling from the lag oak tree; apples are blushing a rosy red; the ground is strewn lightly with tired leaves -- and yet the thermometer the last two days has registered eighty in the shade. It is a great combination if one has time to get out to enjoy the warm air and the lovely seen. ery. And that is exactly what twice Joy and I did last Friday. We went to Guelph for no ith'r reason than to visit friends and see the country. We did make a round of the stores but we soon got tired of looking at the high- priced goods on display and took ourse'.ves up to the Agricultural College where we enjoyed our- selves for a good hour looking at the beautiful gladioli, and wander- ing through the greenhouses — in one of which were housed tro- pical plants of all description. Then we visited and had tea with friends, who also presented us with two large baskets of Lom- bard plums—on which we feasted all the way home. * * * And now to more practical things. I ask you — when is a ccenvenience not a convenience? The aisswer to that one is — the telephone—that is if it rings when one doesn't want it to. au know what I mean — one is nicely in the middle of canning; the sealers are sterilized and per- haps the second or third jar in process of being filled when ding- -ling -cling goes the phone. And then what happens? You either have to let it go unanswered and wonder for the rest of the day whether that call was important or not, or you put your kettle of fruit to one side, tui n off the heat under the sealers and say "Hullo" very sweetly to that contraption on the wall. It may be just a neighbour wanting a friendly chat -- in which case you explain the situation and ring later, or it may be someone in urgent need of eggs or again, it may he "long distance" with someone at tine other end tell- ing you that he or she will be out on the evening train. Well we all have just such in- terruptions which we learn to ac- cept with good grace. but what really burns me up is when I in- terrupt my work to answer the phone and then find it wasn't my ring after all! Not only is such a hindrance unnecessary but one has the added embarrassment of hav- ing butted in on someone else's ring. * * * Of couse you know by the fore- going remarks just what I have been doing. Canning?—yes, that's right. Canning those Lombard plums all day AND answering the telephone about forty -']even times —twice when it wasn't my ring at all. But that is one of the joys of a party line. Another is trying to get the line when one is in a burry, or trying to rouse the op- erator when the line hasn't been disconnected. Another of my pet peeves is when people don't ring off. Of course every subscriber to the telephone has equal rights in using the phone. but how I wish the habit of ringing off when through were snore commonly ob- served. It is one of, those little courtesies that sometimes means such a lot, but which alas. is "more honoured in the breach than in the observance." * * This has been our first day alone for weeks and weeks, We expect- ed to be really lonesome but as a matter of fact we haven't had time. Just the same the house has been strangely quiet—why wouldn't it be when over the week -end we were a family of eight, including one little boy, just at the age to toddle around and get into mis- chief—which didn't worry me at all. During that time the men and Tippy — staged a hunting party. Or should I say a shooting party? Anyway they had guns and I am not sure whether they them- selves knew whether they were bunting or not, until Tippy start- ed digging frantically at a hole in the ground, then they had hopes of a groundhog. Tippy. according to the men, just about went wild with excitement. But presently she gave a mighty yelp and im- mediately after started ploughing the ground with her nose. Yes, Tippy got the animal all right — but the animal also got her — and the animal wasn't a ground- hog. Gunshots finished the job and poor Tippy was tied up for the rest of the day. Her mournful expression was truly pathetic. The average locomotive in serv- ice oil United States railroads has about one mile of boiler tubing.

It's a trouble that stems directly from the damp con- dition of the object to be painted and prevents the paint "keying" to the surface. It cannot be blamed on the paint itself—for no paint can be expected to withstand interior moisture no matter how well it stands up against the exterior variety. The presence of blisters in the paint is the common sign of a moisture -faulted surface under- neath. The sun's rays, or interior warmth. cause the moisture to go through the wall or siding. The moisture in turn forms and collects between the wood and the paint surface, pushing the paint outward in blisters.

Begging For Rides We wonder how many hitch- hikers would stand on a street corner, begging passers-by for the price of a meal or a drink, says the Kingston Whig -Standard, We also wonder how many of them realize that they are begging just as much as the burns and pan- handlers who thus cadge their liv- ing off others. They aren't beg- ging food or drink, but they are begging transportation. And any- one who begs is a beggar, be it money, marbles or chalk. "Gin Pills Helped y Sore coke says Montreal man.

That is a remarkable tribute both to the overall policies of our Government and to the fundamental wisdom of the Canadian people. And it holds out a glorious promise for the future.
