Sark,; 35 years ago, and became bead gardener at the Ex- perimental Station at Morden, Man., in 1923. Well known for his success as a gardener, Mr, Godfrey has pass- ed on his many. years of experience in raising house plants in a way which makes his advice clear and easy to follow, The bulletin explains in a general section the best kinds of soils, for house plants, the most satisfactory kinds of containers, the proper Meth- ods of watering and drainage and cor- rect fertilization. The most effective control of insects and diseases is dis- cussed and the best methods of propa- gation described. In addition to the general section Mr. Godfrey describes and gives ad- vice on the care of about 130 differ- ent kinds of house plants. All of the more generally known plants are to 'be found among this list, and those who wish to try something a little out of the ordinary will find scope for their skill in growing some of the lesser known house plants which are included. Tl$ose who like to grow bulbs in- doors will appreciate the pages on Dutch Bulbs, which include advice on their culture in soil, fibre and the now less common but still attractive meth- od, in specially designed water glass- es. A list of varieties of tulips, nar- cissi and hyacinths is included to guide the reader in type, color and the order in which the bulbs should be forced. Lovers of cactus plants will find much to interest them, and the culture of ivy and ferns is not ov- erlooked. A practical hint to house - with a fair crowd in attendance. Prizes were won by Ross Pepper, Mr. B. Parker, Miss Ethel Roney and Miss Hazel Roney. Lunch and •a social time was enjoyed following the crok- inole.

SUPER -CUSHION tires, fitted on new, wider Dodge "Safety'Rini" wheels are now standard equipment on all Dodge Models -- another Dodge "extra" feature. Dodge thus gives you greater safety and a smoother ride at no additional cost. These unique, new Super -Cushion tires use only 24 pounds of air pres- sure yet they carry 26% more air volume, which greatly reduces road vibration. They " cushion the car against lateral or crosswise shocks, the softer tires taking the jars when they hit ruts, stones or rough pavement, You are assured of greater safety as these new tires run cooler which lessens the chance of a blowout. Should a blowout occur, the new Dodge "Safety -Rim" wheels hold the tire on the rim — even at high speeds — allowing safe, straight stops. Lower air pressure and 26% greater air volume give you the smoothest ride in Dodge history. New Dodge "Safety -Rim" wheels combine with Super -Cushion tires to set a new standard of motoring safety.

Ron got a new .pen! Of course this was ra- ther a letdown to many of the class, who greatly enjoyed watching Ron struggle with his former one., Many happy minutes have we spent watch ing him reassemble it, bit by bit, when he forgot about its delicate con- dition and set it down a trifle too" hard. Ron's pen was like any other pen, except that its insides fell out when suffiicently provoked. For a long time Ron and the pen subsisted by "borrowing a dip of ink" repeated- ly, but now and then he tried to fill it in the conventional way. . Some' times it worked, but usually when he pushed the plunger the entire diges- tive system of the pen fell out into the ink pot. His repeated but futile attempts to hold the insides in while he filled it usually led to inky fingers and a large blue pudd'le y and caused someone (a teacher, maybe?) to won• der out loud whether Ron had ever had a psychoanalysis. After some diligent -dictionary-thumbing I discov- ered that that meant "had anyone ev- er cleaned enough cobwebs from Ron's noggin to find Nenat made things thin." There must be some tricking, because he managed to talk his way out of being caught for chewing gum and eating candy. Water! The first topic dealing with water is the basement volunteer fire depart- ment, A few eager volunteers turn- ed on the hose used for flooding the rink to quiet a few "hot" heads when a shoe fight started in the basement. No injuries were reported, but some young Second Formers are a little wetter behind the ears than usual. Next is the Third Form bucket bri- gade. Three ingenious Third Form- ers purloined a paper cup and took turns leaving the room to get a drink. When they came back each time they had the cup full of water and passed it to the other two, thus getting three for the price of one, plus a wet pocket when the cup start- ed leaking. So much for that. Now here comes the highpoint, or perhaps the low - point of this whole dreary mess— Bert's daffynitions, those gems ofin- finite wisdom: _- A genius—a man who shoots at something that isn't there and hits it. Inflation—when one can live as cheaply as two. Idiot—an intelligent Bert. (in all fairness, may I state that Bert did not actually write that last one). On that jolly note we say good-bye till the next edition of gossip and tomfoolery about S.H.S. Counsel Change By nature, man is a conservative animal. He resists change—not con- sciously, but simply from the assump- tion that what he has always done must be O.K.—if it hasn't caused him any noticeable hram. But science knows that change is necessary, at certain stages of life, for health and safety. The very pace of living must be slowed down, and there are some things we can't con- tinue to do—with benefit. Canadian public health authorities suggest a chat with the family doctor in order to obtain advice on when a change in living habits- is advisable.
