inQom1845, it-ogfas announced this week.
Carried autl;:tn spite of the short,
age of tnateriale: and manpower, these
additions bring.the total of rural tele-
phones served by the eompanyr tp• the
record high of more than- 56,000 at
the beginning of I946. And there are
also approximately 110,000 rural .sub-
scribers of independent coMpanieis
with. access to* Bell `linesthrough con-
necting arrangements,
It is propos ''•.during the next few
years to reduces•: the number of tele=.
phone subscribers ori a rural tele,
Phone line; alb dile'aloi�:e will i.e.
quire over 1,000` isireui.t mites of addi-
tional Wire:. with thousands of pole
replacements;;- crose-artils, etc: ,This
reduction:in, load will enable •existing'
rural "telephone,- users to "get: en • im-
proved service, 'and will' be egrrying
out the recomigren:dation's made by
sub'sc'ribers themselves in.. answers
reeeived from a,• rural opinion ques-
tionnaire • circulgtaed by. the Bell Tele-
phone Company? in 1945.
In order : to provide Per growth on.
existing routes; a further two to three
thousand circuit ,miles of.wire°will be
required; and-ylO'' extend service be-
yond present routes, it is estimated
that almost 3,000 more miles of poles;
and wire must be constructed. This(
latter change will encourage the pro-
vision of 'service in the fringe -areas
of exchanges. , • .
Construction-, eharges have.. now
been reduced so that tb;0'•-company
pays the cost of extending poles -on
Public highways" at least half a mile
per applicant. Furthermore, poles on.
private property, leading in , from. the
highway will be supplied free' up tp
750 feet. Beyond 750 feet, there is an.
installation charge of $5.00 per 150
feet.
In addition to this $10,000,.000., pro-
gram, rural telephones will be eon-
verted as ,rapidly as -possible. t. -the
same system as that in large, Pities:
This will 'permit the installation of
telephone sets . which are more . con-
venient td use than the present types.
In the'.Gerden
After six years of war the world
workshopsarebeating; their swords
back again•into,plow shares. For ;the
gardener that will mean reseeding the
front lawn; which has •been plowed,
up and put into a Victory Garden, -and.
again planting freely, flowers and
nursery : stock.. ,,,I`reely may: not be
quite the „ right word because Cana-
dian seedsmen state that supplies are
not altogether normal yet. There -'are,
a few shortages in sorsa garden seeds
though the sitt
ion its `much better
than a few y s ago. •In nursery
stock, however,7rtain lines` are still'
scarce because foundation stock for
them came from Europe and this, of
course, was cut off completely from
1940.to.1944.
A Cure For Jaded. Nerves
-For ex -service men, -tor all those
who. 'have worked too hard " or at 'foo
fast a tempoduring. . the war, and for
that vast throng of normal, average
human beings who get a natural crav-
ing to dig :in the soil every•-Sp'ring,
gardening offers a cure, rest and ,re -
'creation all rolled into one. There is
fresh air, healthful exercise and the
solid, satisfaction of seeing things
grow. , One can take as little or as
much .as one likes • and the cost is
hardly worth mentioning—a few dol-
lars fpr
ol=lars.for tools, a few cents for seeds,
and nature with a little help will do
the rest.
Planning Will Help
While the soil is getting warm,
garden experts advise doing a little
planning. Especially where .the,-, plot'
is small and one .wants to make the
very best, use of this limited area, a
rough sketch on paper of the general.
layout will help. On this mark„the
„ain boundaries and the permanent
features like -fences, driveways,, side-
walks, house lines, garage, etc. In
planning .shrubbery and flower gar-
•tl.ens the beginner •le• -.advised. to bear
in mind that each plant should have
ball as much room either way ad it
will be high at maturity. This means
that 'shrubs like lilacs, which grew
about eight feet high, should have ,at
least four feet between, ordinary
shade trees like the maple should be
from 20 to 30' ttd t apart, thopgh one
can plant temporary shrubbery be-
tween. - With foundation planting
about the house, too, it is'importalrit
to give space, 'and, -nut gertlils right
under' the eaves: Most shrubs will
make a, much better show if planted
at least three feet in front of any
wall or fence. ''- •
_In the Vegetable Garden
Plannieg the vegetable garden will
be inor°r' 'simple,, Little and quick-
growing things like radish, spinach
and lettuce can be planted in rows a
foot apart when one is going to culti-
vate by hand. Carrots, beets, beans•
are a little larg, r : and grow more
slowly`.' Minimum space here would
be about 15 inches and rather nib -re
for the larger, beans. ' Peas can ,he.
planted in ;double rows about a foot
apart, then 'twice that much space un-
til the next double rbW. Tomatoes re-,
quire at least 18 inches when staked,
and three to four. feet 4f not stake.
Corn rows at least' 30 inches apart,
the same for 1potatoes+ felons, cu-.

Vegetables`
It all depends on you! Do those
you, cook for really enjoy their vege-
tables, or are they eaten only from a
senseof duty?
No vegetable •need be flat, colour-
less and wish -washy. First plan to
serve those that harmonize in, flavour
and • give colour contrast, then cook
them to retain all their. Rye and; appe-
tite appeal.

arty' town to buy grain the dealer in-
sists upon me buying -flour, which I •

this is against the regulations of your
Board. Are they correct?
A.: Yes: When any dealer re-
quires a customer to buy some,artiele
be does not want in order -to secure: ..
something ,he does need the transac-
tion is termed a conditional sale. All
