I do not know; nobody knows. It is not possible in these violent times, to forecast human reactions. One never can -tell exactly what angry, desper- ate or inspired people will do.

People have' not reacted according to the rules of conduct laid down that night —thank heaven! •They have been kind and brave, most of them, even in the midst of unimaginable terrors; they have thought Of others, and not of themselves atone,. They have not runeptad and become beasts. I wen - der if those clever men ever think ef that night'e, talk?

Individuality and courage persist, in spite of shoot- ings, tanks, bombs and imprisonment . . perhaps, today, because of them. In; the ,.meantime we ordinary -folk get on with our jobs, as we are told to do. ,We snub the grousers and put the damper on the talkers. We dig ,feyerishly in the fading light Of eve- ning,! and listen to eookery recipes on the radio,while we are, dressing in the morning. And speaking • of 'talk- ers,' the Newspaper Man has a "rather amusing.,stary to tell.

And he may not have been quite such a Mr. Nobody after all. Who knows? Perhaps our talkative young sergeant got off re- ther •lightly. I am inclined to think so. As far as that ioes. I have known many a woman turn round in a queue and tell somebody else to be careful "about 'careless talk.' This is no time to be squeamish—or over -polite. Any- body who really takes offence at such a gesture is a fool: the same kind of fool as the householder who gets angry if a warden tells hint that he is showing a light in the blackout. One would imagine that any reasonable citizen would say "Thank you very muoh"—and I guess most citizens do. One lady, howeVer,, protested: "Bute it was, only for a minute or two, war- den!" The warden's reply was to the point, "And how many ntinutes," he asked, "does it take anybody to see a light?" I liked -that. Garden Going On • During the past fortnight there have,been •goings-on in our garden here. Every morning a couple of morn turned up on bicycles, and now thee is a little air-raid shelter gouged out of the path near the coal-sh'ed. I am very glad to -see it,- though I am wondering a trifle vaguely how we shall negotiate a four -foot step Ine9 the depths. Something certainly -ought -to be done, about that. I can, with a slight eff•ort, imagine the landlady and ne plunging intcrit, but the real prab- 'em of the occasion will arise when re have to get out. You may say, in- an eirys fashion: %Whit about a couple otboxes?' But bcixes, nowadays are ‘pra,cticatly ex- people, but usually . holding about 1.8 these days—two young folk in the corner began to get acquainted: A pretty giel- and a sergeant in the Air Force. The young min was getting along first-rate and introducing him- self very' effectively; and things went splendidly until there was an Inter- ruption. In the opposite corner sat a quiet, elderly than reading a paper: the sort of man one might see any- where Vvithant noticing him. Thl/S Mr. Nobody, without warning, lowered his paper, glanced over the top and said: "Sergeant, you are talking too, • pinch. You don't know who e'but I know who you are. I also know where you have come from, , where you are going, and' where your squad - eon is." No/ Another Word That was all. Nobody else 'spoke another word during the rest of the/ journey; and Mr. Nobody went in •reading his paper. He was perfectly them. The whole thing, 1 fancy, will be excitingly. suggestive ' of a Polar expedition. Several people have al-. ready expressed an intention of get- ting up early in order to have a look. It should --be well worth it. Housing My Bicycle Yet what dear souls they all are! A neighbor instantly offered to house my bicycle—and at considerable in- convenience to. herself. I never set eyes on her till three months ago, but she came forward directly she heard of my difficulty. I Then, hear- ing me barking and wheezing in the shed a couple of days ago; she turns up with a bottle of emulsion and a pot of honey. All I know is that Mega things did riot happen once upon -,a time. One's personal . friends,. of course, were always good and kind; but. now the persbnal friends—many of them—have disappeared into' tha blue; yet the 'kindnesses still make their appearance. It is as' if people are actively doing all they can to. make, life easier for the folk around them. And' I have just been listen- ing to a radio account of What you people over there are doingfor the English children. There is something about all this which warms ape's heart: something which makes life worth living—even in such times .as these. And when you' have said that you have said it all.

The earliest form of box .steireS on :the American continent has been identified with the, name or Benjamin -Fratiklin and dafeli from, approxi- mately, 1750, while a stove made in Scotland and known as the Dundee Was the first to be widely used in Canada following its introduction at the beginning of the nineteenth cen- tury by British immigrants. It .was `composed of two sections, a lower one for fire, and an upper chamber for cooking and baking. This was copied by the .early foundries of Low- er Canada and it is of interest to note that the St. -Maurice Forges near Three Rivers was built the first suc- cessful foundry on the continent. The earliest blast furnace on this .site was established about' 1733; nearly seven- ty years before the furnace at Lynd- hurst, northeast of Kingston, which apparently was the first one built en the Upper Provinces. The 'forerun- ner:0. of the., present-day. under -oven range' appeared about the piddleof the nineteenth century. In this • type, the heat moves across from .the fire- box above the oven, then descends and completely. encircles it -before ris- ing into the chimney. Gas did -not invade the field of cook- ing stoves until several- decades later due to its expensiveness relative to wood as a fuel. The manufacture of gas cooking sto-ves was 'commenced in Toronto in 1881 but their adoption Was very graduai and by 1905 tbere were only 8,992 'stoves and 11,533 gas ranges in the cite. However, popular fairteurincreaeed widely from thenesn- Ward and by 1922 there were 109,0.13 gas ranges and 35,354 gas rings in Toronke Still more recently the use Mr. Roland , Williams, of Usborne, returned home Saturday after' spend- ing a week atthe0.&C., Cuelph, tak- ing a ,short course on form .co-opera- tion.

Here's one way, "made to or- der": Fill all the brooder space you have with early chicks ... the best you can buy. These huge British orders for eggs at a price ranging be- tween 28.79c and 32.12c per' dozen, Grade A -Large,. at Canadian. seaboard, and' the 'Dominion Government subsidy of 3c 'per dozen on Grade A - Large bought for. export, have put a definite "floor': under Canadian. egg sprieesr---UnIns-s- we miss our guess by a mighty -wide margin, Winter a n d Spring egg prices' 'this year, will hold' at least 7c, and prole, ably 10e per dozen above these, of a year ago. That's a paying difference, and it appears like- ly to continue. • We don't suggest over -expand- ing', overloading, or overcrowd- ing. That's bad business: But - we do .suggest that you should use all the poultry equipmeet 'you have, to the limit. Start all the good chicks you have accommodation for, early..." ....e - just -as soon as. you Can 'get your brooder house Cleaned up, tightened upand ready. Both the egg and broiler markets look so promising that you can't afford to -overlook this really extra -special profit pos- sibility; and 'there's practical patriotism in it, as well as profit. Naturally, when you're chaos- • ing you good chicks, we' would like to have you consider Bray Chicks. They're good chicks. They've done a rear profit- making job for others.
