In many cases the arrival of an RCAF "mercy mission,' aircraft means the difference between life and death for a person stricken by illness and hundreds of miles away from medical care. In critical cases RCAF medical officers and nursing sisters are parachuted in where aircraft are unable to land, munities which make these organ- zationa necessary by always leav- lig their teachers to the end of he budget. I am against commune ies which don't make their schools s effective as possible for the eaching of the young. I am gainst communities. which never ake the teacher into the family, as it were, but instead consider h bim an outsider and glorified cnore- oy. These things are only eliminated, Nvhen both sides make some mere n brces, but the sacrifice iv not so ig as it looks when you have the ight man in the right place. The right place is the spot where he teacher and the community get along together, where they do not engage in a perpetual tug-of-war. but where both get on the same end of the rope and pull for all their worth. No organization., no building program, no salary eche- dule and no curriculum can substi- tute for that. And remember, it all begins with you and me and the teacher right here on Main Street --not at a con- vention in Toronto. a t a t t t Farm News Marion Blue Grass little grass', 'an lin-proved variety of (Kentucky blue grass or- iginally selected and developed in the eastern United States, has re- cently received a considerable amount of favorable 4. publicity, which has led to many enquiries concerning its value under Cana- dian conditions. This variety has been tested as a lawn grass, in comparison with other varieties of 'Kentucky- bine grass by the Division of Forage Plants,. Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, since 1947, and' has been found to be superior to all other varieties under test in many ways. Chief among its superior 'character- istics have been its comparative re- sistance to Ilelminthosporium leaf spot, a disease which often weak- ens and' sometimes/ destroys com- mon blue grass — particularly in cold, wet srpring or fall weather; itsability to withstand closer mow- ing than, common sorts because of its shorter, growth; its aggressive- ness and ability to spread rapidly; its general quality, and appearance and its ability to resist the en- croachment of weeds including crab grass. There is also some evidence that it is more heat and drought tolerant than, the other varieties tested,. Because of its superior perform- ance in the Ottawa trials, ;Medan blue grass has recently beet licens- ed for sale in Canada. But seed is in very short supply and it is quite costly. The fact that it can be sow et at much lower rates than are commonly used for, commercial blue grass partially alleviates the high cost involved in 'using this ex- pensive seed. * * * Grazing animals require food to maintain ,body processes and nor- mal rnuecular activity without foss of weiht, To meet these demands it is necessary' to have: protein for -rpairing 'end rebuilding body tis- sue; fats and' carbcrhydrates for producing :heat and eteergy; miner. al niateriaisi for building bone and continuing body functions Growth and 'fattening take place only af- ter the requirements for mainten- ance are met. Hose Woes Swelling of the feet may be a symptom of certain diseases such as heart or kidney trouble. Or it may have a mechanical cause— long hours of standing or walking in unsuitable footwear may ac- count for the swelling and diecota- fort. Stockings or socks that are too tight, perhaps through having shrunk in Isetidering, can constrict the foot or the toes and cause trou- ble, especially to children's feet.

Perh,aps it is because most of our ancestors came from warmer countries than Canada that we are inclined to rush things too fast. Of course it is .pleasant and natural to get out- side with a spade just as soon as the sun starts to get warm. But so long as the soil is the least bit muddy and bhere remains a real threat of seriotist frost, it is well to take thing,s easy. As' a matter of fact for the great majority of plants there is no real growth un- til spring has definitely arrived and both air and soil are warm. Of course there are same excep- tions. One can hardly get grass sed, sweet peas, the first radishes and spinach, the first garden peas and all kinds of shrubbery, vine% and trees, planted too early. These go in just as soon as the soil is fit to work. With the rest, how- ever, one is well advised to be patient. At the end of the planting sea- son, one should be .patient too. In most parts of Canada one can go on planting and shouldgo on plant- ing right, up to early July. For a succession of really tender vege- tables, that is the only way to op- erate. One Plants' a first sowing early, then twe or three weeks lat- er, a second sowing; and after that there is usually plenty of time for a third or fourth at similar inter vals. Finer the Better There is nothing the average seed likes better than a bed of finelyworked soil. Of course mois- ture and fertility will be necessary too, but it is almost -imposible to over -emphasize the importance of having the soil fine. Eapecially is this so when seed to be sown is tiny like that of lettuce, carrots, alyssum or ,portulaea. If the seed- bed is coarse, and lumpy, it will be impossible to keep out air and either the seeds will not germinate at all or th,ey are liable to produce only weak 'plants. It will pay well to run a rake or cultivator through a few extra times. Just to make sure of a fine seed bed for vegetables like carrots and lettuce and •particularly where the land is heavy, many ,gardeners scoop out a shallowetrench along the row and fill in with some spe- cially prepared fine loam or humus. The improvement in germination, where this extra precaution is tak- en, will be astonisting. These Will Help And speaking of heavy soils, it sheuld be remembered that there are many ways now of improving these. The old standby of course Is well rotted manure. If one is lucky enough to be able to get this in quantity, it is still the very best soil conditioner and enricer. Ladle on in a big way and it veil make a fine garden out of almost any kind of 8611. One disadvantage, of course, 15 that manure isoften fill- ed with weed seeds. When that is so, it would be best to pile some- Whre..for a ,year or so an,d then appy. Even without manure, however, there are other things that can, be used. One of these is home-made humus, whleh is simply rotted down vegetable refue, like leaves; grass clippings; weed's and even clean garbage. This can be dug di- rectly orpiled In a corner, covered with layers, of earth, watered on cesionalln. end 1140Yndettir°t. The new chemical soil norniliron- et's, too, will break, down the heavy clay and do ethe job overnight. Moreover the effect welt last for at least several yearn. Protection One Can safely rusk the season for a few early tornatoenjeille 'of Melees or cucumbers, by planting or setting under epeeial oiled paper, thistle/or' glass mete Meet seed steins carte theee tillage, which are; fasts. These will eurnish ample protection against even severe frost and by using them one can get a few tender things .started two to three weeks ahead of the usual time. For Thirsty Days Ahead Just about this time of year, the cottage' owner begins to make plans for opening up that summer paradise. One of the first things that should be done iv to eneure that the drinking water is safe. If the water is taken 'from a natural source, it should be tested for pur- ity. 4-.)tdoor conditions change so it is net a good ida. to take the water ';',for granted from year to Year. The local health department will be able to advise on how and heeenteekentna. water test made. Death of a Film (Continued from Page 2) well known and, respected a local personality should be free from suspicion. Martin, of course, had guessed at her guilt, only to take (hie secret heroically to the grave for the, honor of the 'Rothersons. That .much was surmise. His last words might have referred to Mrs. Thorne, for it was open to doubt if his intentions toward's, that lady had 'been strictly honorable. There was something ,between them at any rate, for the vicar's, wife had an inkling of Martin's plans. Foolishly she went to Alma Roth- erson and taxed her with complic- ity -ea shrewd guess more than anything else. Why she did not go to thie authorities can only be explained by an unwillin.gness to reveal her relations,hips with the screen actor. At first Mrs. Thorne hadi thought her ihalesister re- sponsible but had hit on the right solution a little while later. In either case she was in a quandary, for episodes in her past life would be sane to come out if the police *ere on the track. Fateplayed into Alma Rother- son's !rands. One morning she re- ceived a letter from the vicarage containing a threat of 'suicide arid the next thing she heard was that Margaret Thorne was dead.

Every once and a while merchants wonder why they should keep on advertising, or why they should advertise at all. The answer to that is straight, and it's a pretty sound one . . . If a merchant has been advertising, whether he'll attest the value or not, he knows he should keep on advertising tozprotect the investment he's already made . . If he hasn't been advertising he knows by experience that his market falls into three classifications, the primary or immed- iate buyers, the secondary or coming buyers, and the -tertiary market or possible-1*M .
