Field labor was abundant in all dis- tricts, and no crop was lost because ,of labor shortage. The quality of thinning was good, and --the stands of beets are excellent. Rainfall was plentiful .during the first 10 days of June, but was fol- lowed by two weeks of dry weather, very favorable to the planted crop. Present reports state that the crop ;never looked better at this time of the year. Preliminary estimates of planting indicate a crop of approximately 27,- 000 acres. Insect losses have been slight, and seedling diseases were re- sponsible for only'•a, minor acreage of less and replanting. The Crop is de- veloping fast, with early plantedbeets filling the rows with their leaves. Present indication'$ are for an excep- tionally fine crop in; all districts from Leamington and Windsor to London .and Exeter.

It spreads in pan- orama in all directions. To the north he would see the ma- jestic Garibaldi range of ;mountains, with the twin "Lions" that are sup- posed to guard the harbor gateway. The hills that troop down to the verge of the 'harbor itself are 'often likened to the Swiss Alps in their hora', aed topography. • Aamong the mountains the meadows surrounding colored lakes bloom with myriads of , wild flowers and green glaciers gleam, in the sunlight. Snow-capped, the'se jutting peaks challenge only the hardiest of moun- taineers. - It is nearer the City on Hollyburn Ridge, Crown and Grouse mountains that the ordinary hiker finds 'his paradise. To the eastward, above the spa- cious fillet waters, cleaving the forest clad slopes are several canyons, Cap- ilano, Seymour, and Lynn, whicb are tamed as holiday spots. 'i he busy harbor reaches inland for miles .past the First Narrows bridge now under .construction, past the busy docks where the perky little ferries and tugs nose alongside big Transpacific lin- ers, past the Second Narrows bridge ,to the small ports beyond. Beneath lies the city itself, stretch- ing east and southward along -its flat lands. to the edge of the mighty Fras- er 'liver in the distance. Beyond, in the broad delta land of the Fraser ane the rich farms which pour their never ending stream of produce into the markets. To the west the view looks out up- on the broad waters of the Gulf of Georgia with Vancouver Island and its scores of smaller sister islands in- tervening. Their thickly 'strewn firs make an unending strip of dark green on the -horiz'on. In their names they preserve, the memory, of early explor- ers, Galiano, Valdez, San Juan. Toward the south, as fax as the eye can see, go the gulf waters., dot- ted with islands, down past Victoria, the Province's capital city, and across the United States borderline to the thriving Washi•ngton' State center of Seattle. Passenger • steamers serving the three cities 'one a. triangle run, might be spotted plying these waters at any time of day.

This concrete is placed on the wall 'against the plank with a shovel, the Tock is laid in place and pulled out to "the desired thickness of the wall by placing the point of the trowel against the plank and pulling the rook out to a mark on the handle of the trowel the de- sired thickness • of the wall.

UTILIZE FIELD STONES The Call in The Night •(Condensed from 'Medical Magic" in Reader's Digest) Until about 40 years ago appendi- citis was a mysterious and dreadful scourge, then called "pii)egmon of tbe rightt lower quadrant."'" Tile patient suddenly* developed a Lein' in the ab- donten. The pain got, ivilorse. Fever and delirium followed. In ,about 99 out of every 100 cases the patient died. Today we have a different story: At 2 am. the pliysicianfs telephone riugs. It is a woman's voice. John came home from the office listless and without appetite. About midnigh he woke up with a pain in the abdo- men which later shifted to the right side. The pain has been getting stead; ily sharper. He took a drink of wa- ter but it would not stay down. The physician recognizes the gen- eral symptoms of acute appendicitis and knows that a delay of six (hours may spell the difference between life and death. At the patient's beside' eO minutes later, an examination reveals an extremely painful spot on the abdo- men, which becomes rigid when press- ed—one of nature's clever defense mechanisms to protect the sore appen- dix from possible injury. The patient is slightly feverieh. • Now it is the physician's turn to do a little after -midnight telephoning. He call's a well-known surgeon, while the patient is hurried to the hospital, There an interne takes the liatlent's temperature and pulse, then pricks his 'thumb with a sterilized needle a.&1 takes a few drops of blood. This is sent to the laboratory for analysis. A specimen of -mane is also • sent. When the surgeon arrives at tho hospital, the laboratory report s waiting for him. It indicates a "white count" of 14,200, about three times normal- When there is infection in the body the white cells which have the power of absorbing or "eating" bacteria come swarming into the blood stream. The abnormally high count seems to confirm the diagnosis. But the surgeon is not yet willing to operate. He remembers that a patient he once operated on for a seemingly clear case of appendicitis turned out to have pneumonia instead. Another time it was a stone in the ureter. So although this. seems to be appendicitis both the physician and the surgeon examine the patient ante more, ruling out one by one all Other posaibdli•ties. Knowing when to oper- ate is fully as important as knowing bow. The first streaks of dawn are be- ginning to show in the east when the surgeon ---for the final decision be- longs to him alone—decides to oper- ate.

Above this is a battery of electric lamps de - Rocks, sand and field stones are so plentiful on most farms that they are considered a nuisance, but they may all be utilized to build attractive 'cob- blestone' houses or barns and at the same time be removed from the fields, says Prof. L. G. ,-Hilmpel in the •Fam- ily Herald and Weekly, Star. Gobble- .."... stone is used in this article to desrg nate any type of field stone or brok- en rock used in building as the meth- od is. the same for all. Buildings made of cobblestones, in addition to being beautiful, are perm- anent. They are massive and conse- quently not liable to be damaged by wind. The walls are fireproof and require no painting or repair work. In most cases when rock and salad ate plentiful, the first cost is very little, if any, more than for a frame building. Another advantage of cob- blestone construction is that almost anyone can construct and do the work —alittle at a time—as his regular work permits. Various types of rock can be used in cobblestone work, in fact almost any type of hard field stone or brok- en rock. Fqr walls to be made of field reek, that is small rock from fields and pas- tures, it is well to gather up rocks of various sizes rather than have them all about one size. It is also advisable to have them piled up a- head of time so that rains will wash them, as they must be clean. Irregular chunk rock works up into a rough cobblestone wall. The joints may be left rough or a neater wall made by brushing them out with a whisk broom and weter. In this pro- cess the rocks are washed off clean and the joints sealed. The rocks shoutld project out one to two inches beyond the mortar so as to make the rocks stand out as individuals, rather than have•the mortar joint standout. The mortar spoken of here Is really concrete, as it is made of sand, gravel and cement. ' Placed At Random • It is also'posedble to point the joints with colored mortar instead) of brush- ing them out with a whisk broom. In this case the mortar joint is the prom- inent part of the work.

The surgeon has tiow reached the lining of the abdominal cavity, or peritoneum. In this the must make an tucisian. The appendix is a small cylindrical structure attached to the caecum or upper portion of the intestine. and held in place by the mesentery. a membrane containing • the blood ves- sels which supply it. Acute' inflamma- tion of the appendix results in -the formation of pus and consequent .dan- ger that the swollen structure, burst- ing, Wi11 flood the peritoneal cavity with germs and cause an often fatal type of poisoning known as periton- itis. • It is the task of the surgeon to get the appendix out before this happens.

Instead, the sur- geon uses a cautery, or "radio knife" heated redehot by electric current, whish sears and sterilizes as it cuts. The severed appendix is carefully re- moved. Now the second phase of the opera- tion is reached. The' surgeon ties the stump of the appendix with a silk ligature os- thread, and pushes the inverted stump into the caecum. (Im- agine the appendix to be the little finger of a, kid glove. which has been out off, leaving a tiny stump. This is now sewed shut and pushed back, inside out, into the hand of the glove).
