• "Oh, r SEE!"
With thogie three simple words the

of about thirteen. It, is quite simple,
of course. Nobody had bothered to

wonder• where we should be by
now if we could not f md• all these
foolish things to laugh over? All the
same, realization is alwa3ts at the
back of our minds. We just have to
keep sane .— knowing all the while
that here, on this •continent of ours,
People are living and dying—Int a
state, of horror such as the world has
never before seen. A • sort of red
shutter conies down, over tie*" brain
if one ponders -that fOr long. Maybe
this red ahutter 111 come over many
more human brains before much time
has paesed. Folk at greater and 'great-
er distances from these dreadful
scenes will get that sudden, sharp
consciougness of fact e which 'we call
re'alization. Then what will happen?
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.
Were All Wrong •
One thing I CAN tell you 'though
remember, about ten years ago,
„ bearing a group of clever men dis-
cussing what would happen if ever
big air:raids came. •ett seemed abso-
hitely• convincing at the time — but
those. men were all wrong. 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? Probably •not.., I
date say they are much too busy with
Hbme Guard duties and fire -watching!
.L.The human 'being is a strange and
stubborn creature. Even vast and
impersonal things like storms and
earthquakes and floods and pestilence
hare —not • crushed him and it is
sere thing that other humaps will not
succeed in doing • it. 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. He was ina nct. rain .trying •to get hold of one
crowded train last week and in his for my coal, but the grocer, when. I
compartrnent--built to hold about ;0 e esle him, looks at me as if I had re-

remarks, but without the, hobeful
note I expected. -It is in things lie

PerSerein wartime; but when it comes
to- boxes, hairgrips, packets of pins
and what not—. . . that's another mat::
ter, believe me.

There has also been a sinister dis-.
appearance of gum -boots (rubbers). I
have tried nine shops, only to be
looked at 'blankly-. Perhaps it is be-

right, of course. 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

identified with the, name or Benjamin

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

A Way to Serve...
and a Way to
E
IN THESE DAYS we are all
anxious to serif:, our cone -
try's best interests. But we are
all increasingly consciouie too,
that' "money -makes the mare
go". So it's mighty pleasing
and important, too, to find a
way to serve, and at the same
time break more than, •even.
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. They
ughteto _de the •same -for—yote
Get your order in early.
Extra Income!
Could you use some sxttra income 10
or 12 weeks from now? Ton can get
it easily enough if yon have brooder,
room -for some extra Bray "901'h"
cockerels. Check up ost the price of
In4?fters, and you'll soon see what
we mean, in dollars and cents.
