The mail comes at abo eight o'clock;and as soon as s hollers about the letters, we jump. I have received mail fro folks in Goderich and from som of the kids I know in London. got a letter from a Mrs. Penne in Auchterarder, wondering if am related to her, She wants t know if I'm from Winnipeg, so think I'll write her and tell tie I'm the guy. I'll let you know wha happens in my next letter" We played two exhibition game at the start to kind of line up th teams, and as I think I told you we won one and lost one. W played the first game of the ache dole on Wednesday, 29th, and los by a score of 6 to 4. I got two assists. This game was played in Falkirk, and I forgot to ask about Jim Cameron. We played the sec- ond game in Perth last night agaist Fife 'Flyers from Kircaldy, and we went down to the tune of a 7 to 3 defeat. I got a goal and an assist, and all my teeth knock ed loose. By the way, I've played four games and each game I've got a stick in the mouth or the eye. You were asking how they work the schedule• over here, so I'll tell you right how it's a phoney way. First we play a 12 -game series which is called "The Autumn Cup." Then we play a 36 -game schedule which is called the "National Cup." The winner of this cup gets to play off with England, and gets to pray some games in 'France or Switzerland, so we are going to try for it. Our coach isn't working us too hard because he doesn't want us to go stale, so we will all be in good shape for the '"Na- tional 'League." We finish the season off with a 24, -game schedule, called the "Scot- tish Cup." After that we are on our way home. If it isn't asking too much, 1 would like you to send me a box of stuff over. The thre guys I am staying with brought over a whole bunch of stuff and I've been help- ing them eat it. If I .don't get something to repay them, I'll feel kind of guilty. I'll make it up to you when I get home. I h Could you send me some chew- ing gum, some spork or Klick, or senke hind of 'canoed neat, pork and 'beans, • aid please send some mOple sya'wp and honey.' 'Mere is some home-nnide soap here, .but I'll be glad if you could send se some toilet soap. If you can get any chocolate bars or chocolates, they would be .appreciated. Whe you ednd this in a box, be sure and wrap it with cloth and aew all the seams. This way the Customs m not open it. Can't think of much more to say, � so I will close for now. I'm send- ing some cards and a souvenir of Scotland by ordinary mail" Love. KEN P.S.—I've got a girl friend, and is' she ever cute! And I get bacon and eggs every' time I go to her house.

Corn Hybrids In the Making An intensive program of selec- tion, inbreeding and cross -breeding, of corn is carried, on annually at the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion at Harrow, Ont.,'with the sole object of producing superior hy- brids that will be adapted to the various soil and climatic areas of Ontario. Indeed, "Corn Hybrids in the Making," is a true expression of the activities at the Harrow Sta- tion .each July and August, says G. F. H. Buckley, Senior Assistant in forage crop work. The breeding program consists of isolating inbred lines and com- ,bining them into successful hy- brids. This involves four major steps: the establishment of inbred lines; the making of single cross- es; 'the making of double-crosses; and the thorough testing' of the double-crosses. Inbred lines are extracted from open -pollinated varieties or strains and also from single and double cross material. Selected plants are inbred and the new lines are self - pollinated for .five or six genera- tions after which time they become practically stable. During this stabilizing period rigid selection and testing is carried on so that only the best inbred lines survive for .cross purposes" Therstable inbred lines are plat-• ed in groups of nine or ten and all possible single -cross, combinations are made within each group. The single -crosses are then thoroughly tested and only the best are used in: making the double-cross hy- brids.

During the progress of the construction of a 26 -bed addition in 1947 (for which necessary financing had been arranged), the Department of Health informed the Board that additional altera- tions and improvements to the existing building must be carried out. The Board agreed that the changes proposed by the Depart- ment (including provision of fire exits, improved elevator service, standby heating unit, and elimination of ramp on the second floor) were desirable, but that until funds were in sight to carry out the work, no action would be taken. The Board realizes the urgency of completing the alterations if the service rendered the people of this district is not to be im- paired. For this reason then, the decision to ask the citizens of the district for theft- support in a campaign to provide funds for the work was decided on. WHAT OUR HOSPITAL MEANS TO THE DISTRICT Many district citizens are inclined to take their Hospital for granted — as being something that is in Seaforth if at any time they happen to need the life-saving benefits of such an institu- ition. Not so the 881 persons that received treatment at Scott Memorial Hospital last year! To them the Hospital is more than a building — it is a place that was responsible in no small measure in the recovery of their health. Each year an increasing number of citizens call on the Hos- pital for service, making necessary improved and increased facili- ties. In 1936, for instance, the number of patient days totalled 4,983. In 1947 this had risen to 9,284. During the same period patients treated rose from 570 to 881, and births increased from 60 to 191. Hospitals never make money, and so when alterations or improvements are needed outside financial assistance becomes necessary. It is for this reason and to ensure that Scott Mem- orial Hospital will in the future be able to provide the citizens of the district with modern hospital care that the present appeal is being made. cEEROUS WHEN THE CANVASSER CALLS REMEMBER—This +s�yFur opportunity two ensurecontinued' and improv 3l
