'AP r
'Keeper of the' Trees"
(By MRS. M. C. DOIG) )
(Contineed from last week) e
His farm had originally consisted
.of one hundredacres, but years be-
fore he had been bitten by the
tree -planting bug, until now his
Alarm was a tree plantation with
only a few acres left that sure
wounded the house, hen house and
little stable.
Altogether, Colin Macieenzie,erho
was equipped mentally to be hap -
soy under almost any circumstanc-
Pee, had had his Lines fall in very
; ?pleasant places indeed.
While Janet Kelson was worrying
about Nels because he was not like
settler boys, sixteen -year-old Jon was
causing her to lose sleep. for ex-
actly the opposite rea4stin. Jon was
so muck Like other boys that he
might have been used as a sample
of the average boy any/where in
Englislespeaking America.
He had a good mind which he
never used for anything but sport
and hellery. He was a handsome
lad with a consuming ambition to
be a big-time hockey player. He
was an indispeneable right-winger
of the Tanner hockey team; was,
the darling of the-fane because he
played a colorful game, and was
beginning to look over the girls,
whom he called women.

He was UU in High Sebeel, hut
•for 41 the good he wee gettleg out
of it he might aa well have been
working on the boats on the Great
Lakes, for which he had a hanker -
ins': or working in the store for
which he had none.
His people would have been sur-
prised if they could have read Jon's
mind. He had the free, frank way
which can conceal ambitions and
motives just as effectively, perhaps
more so, as Nels' surly secretive-
ness. He spent hours weekly day-
dreaming of the time when he
should step onto the ice in Maple
Leaf Gardens and thousands of
frantic fans would rise to their feet
as one man and shout 'Kelson! Kel-
son!'
His photograph, which would be
given away to boyish admirers for
tei cent and three bo' topsclitoka
OW ben bent over his haeleeY
stick, his eyes looking out Itee,14Y
and -fiercely from under bis hockey
heiraet, his skate blades malting
sweeping curves on the photogra-
pher's lee. Pretty girls and WOr-
shipful small boys wouldfall over
each other to get his autograph,
which he would sign with a flour-
ish with •his fifty -dollar fountain
pen, a present from a grateful
Maple Leaf management.
"Kelson, you are absolutely the
greatest drawing card that ever
,stepped into this or any other rink.
Please accept this pen and pencil
set along with this purse of money,
as a slight token of our regard."
It worried Jon that he had never
had any other nicknames than Kel.
And then there was that crazy

County honors were awarded six district girls on having completed successfully homemaking club projects. The awards were made
at the 4-H Achievement Day held in Seaforth District High School last week. From -the left they are: ' Phyllis Lastell, Kippen; Ann
sink, Seaforth; Marlene Maize, Dungannon; Marilyn Mousseau, KiPeen; Carol Beadle, Auburn; Catherine Moylan, R.R. 5, Seaforth.
Swedish way of spelling Jqn. If
they had called him John like all
the other Johns he knew, it might
have been changed to Jack. He
would like to have been called
Butch or Cyclone, or even Killer.
Killer Kelson! That sounded good.
He wondered if Big Time hockey
players ever had press agents like
movie stars, who built up legends
about their clients. He had asked
his father once about his ancestors
and the reply had made him pau-se.
"Vikings !" snorted Sigmund.
"Vikings, hell! Sailors — that's
what they were. And damned
hard up sailors too, most of the
time. So don't get any crazy idea
into your head that you are de-
scended from the nobility, You
don't think much of the store, do
you? Well, your ancestors would
have thought themselves in clover

Stewart Pepper. The meeting op-
ened with the Institute Ode, the
Mary Stewart Collect and the
Lord's Prayer. Roll call was an-
swered by ,the payment of fees. A

"Christ the Lord is Risen Todaye
was sung. 'Business was dealt with
and reports or conveners given.
Mrs. E. Whitehouse conducted

if they had had half as much as
this store to fall back upon. About
two leaps ahead of the wolf, that's
what they were all the time."
So Jon dropped all talk of
Vikings and decided to let sleep-
ing dogs lie.
Then there was the question of
uniforms. • and hockey -equipment.
Jon was a spendthrift unless he
was saving for something definite.
He had succeeded in saving enough
money from his jobs in the sum-
mer holidays to buy some of the
things he wanted. Sigmund would
never have bought them for • him.
Not because Sigmund was stingy,
but simply because he could never
have been convinced of the neces-
sity fter.e.rnahing such a purchase.
Sigmund ,had learned to skate on a
Swedish river with a pair of old
spring -skates, belonging, to his
father, strapped to his school shoes.
The amount of skate-shrpening that
went on in a Canadian 'skating
household made Sigmund snort
with derisive skepticism. His
father had been used to drawing a
rusty file across the bottoms of
his children's skate blades at the
beginning of each winter. That was
considered ample. And they skat-
ed on the skates. Nat only that.
they skated well on them. But Jon
had to have.his skates sharpened
before every hockey 'game. If any-
thing turned up that made this in --
possible, the .game was considered
as good as lost..

CANADIAN farmers know the
struggle, at maple sugar time, of
hauling the sap to the sugar house
— especially if there has been an
early thaw. So we were interested
in hearing how one farmer, who
used aluminum tubing for sum-
mer irrigation, also used it as a
sptIng pipeline. to carry the sap
from his trees to the sugar house
some distance away.,
Light, strong, easily handled
aluminum has a way of stimulat-
ing people's ingenuity in their
search for short cuts that ‘t, ill save
them time and money. Today more
than a thousand different Cana-
dian firms are manufacturing ar-
ticles made from aluminum
supplied by Alcan. (Aluminum
Company of Canada, Ltd.)
Mrs. S. Pepper and Mrs. W. Cald-
well.
An executive meeting will be held
at Mrs, J. McLellan's on Thursday,
May 6, at 9 p.m. Conveners will
please have their programs made
out.

estimated damage to both. cars.
None of the occupants of the Rau
