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. • ,• • •--etet"""" ' • • 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 Women's Editor of CFPL Radio has a strong appeal for women listeners to her daily pro- gram.

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?

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.. (Continued Next Week) • . - Caq \AlaYb. P 'EO I 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. Zurich Couple Are Injured in Crash An elderly couple; Mr, and Mrs. Edward Denomme, R.R. 2, Zurich, were taken to St. Joseph's Hospi- tal in London from a head-on col- lision Monday morning on High- way 21, near Drysdale. Mr. Denomme, 71, was released after treatment of minor injuries. His wife, suffering a fractured wrist and severe -lacerations, was kept in hospital. • Mr. Denomme reportedly turned out to pass another car at the en- trance to a private driveway when he and a neighbor, Charles Reny also of R.R. 2, Zurich, crashed head-on, which resulted in $400 estimated damage to both. cars. None of the occupants of the Rau car were injured. Ontario Provin- cial Police from Goderich investi- gated.
