I: have 'been very lucky in my liVieg accommodation here in chriStchurch. I just moved down, bag and baggage by the inter -city ferry on a night trip. Leavibg my trunk and surplus bags checked at the railway station, 1 took off for •Sydnek by air because the "Monawar" sailed earlier ,than I could get away. 0* "Pioneer Tour" party was made up of New Zealanders from different cities and towns. Two of the girls from Christchurch ask- ed me to come and stay with them until I found suitable quarters. • I did that and was so happy that they are lett:ng me stay for my terni of teaching here, ending in May. They are also introducing me into their set of friends and I've enjoyed several social evenings of music and pictures already. We also went to see the Indian ballet —authentic dances of India arrang- ed by K. K. Shetty. The whole pro- gram was put on by four—some- times dancing singly, in pairs ; on - In fours. After seeing the Chipes'e Ballet in Wellington, I felt I must see this too. Christchurch has just put off a beautiful floral festival, which was quite unique to me. Along the road leading into the main show were large frames, filled with flowers In different designs, pictures, -etc. In- side the tents were all kinds of floral arrangements—in vases, in picture frames, with fruit, etc., and singly for competition. As you have. probably gathered, I am en- joying myself in Christchurch. Now I'll give you a little idea of my Christmas holiday.

Perhaps nothing seriously wrong, just a temporary toxic condition caused by excess acids and wastes. That's the time to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's stimulate the kidneys, and so help restore their normal action' of removing excess acids and wastes. Then you feel better,- sleep better, work better: Get Dodd's Kidney Pills now.

It is on ,the plain between the hills and the sea coast or bay. Large ships can only come to Port Adelaide. It is a residential and educational centre with beautiful parks and beaches. I spent New Year's day here at a friend's and it was a warm, sunny day. ,CANBERRA, the capital of Aus- tralia, has an entirely different lay- out. It .is on the circular plan and someone said that it is built to' grow in, and' not out. There are blocks of stores. parks, govern. ment buildings and different resi- dential areas. There is a wonder- ful war memorial buildingebut we did not have' time to go inside. Here one needs a guide to get around for awhile. From here we journeyed back to Sydney—and for me, by air to Christchurch by night, which was not nearly so ,interesting.

From Wanaka we went on to Lake Ohau, Lake Pukaki, and on to Mount Cook, staying at "The Heritage." Bad weather plagued 'us whenever we were in the moun- tains, and here it rained and rain- ed—so we didn't see Mt. Cook— but were able to walk on the Ball Glacier, which was quite interest- ing. In one spot the ice was quite reddish 'and we were told that it was caused by dust from Austra- lia 1400 miles away. The ice crev- ices were interesting, and in places quite dangerous. You could look down holes and see the water rushing through crevices far be- low. At "The Heritage" I met six Canadians—four from Calgary and two from Toronto—who were also touring New Zealand. From "The Heritage" we jour- neyed back. At Takapo we visit- ed The Church of the Good Shep- herd. Its altar was a window which looked out to the mountain peaks and .must certainly have re- minded the worshippers to think of the Creator of all this beauty.

PerhapsI don't understancj. the' meaning bf this word, but it seems to me. that farmers are doing a pretty good job when one farmer now feeds 20 people instead of the six he was able to feed a few years ago. I am convinced that farmers are remarkably efficient as far as it is financially 'possible. There isn't much incentive .to produce two blades of grass in place of one if it is going to take three blades to be worth what the, .one was form- erly. Why produce 100 bushels to the acre at a loss if you can lose' just as much on a 50 -bushel crop with a lot less- work? This. I know, is a pessimistic attitude, but I think there is a cure. The most neglected machine on the farm today is the "market- ing machine". This is the farm- ers' greatest need. Considerable has been done in this department as there are 18 different marketing schemes at work in Ontario. They are doing good Werk in. their dif- ferent fields. but there is a great deal to be done yet. The co-operatives are develop- ing steadily. It might surprise you to know that United Co-operatives are the second largest feed deal- ers in Canada. Local Co-ops are doing a much larger business in feed. fertilizer and eggs than we realize. The Clinton Credit Union has had the most rapid growth of any rural Credit Union in Ontario and now has assets totalling some $285,000. • All these successes have been accomplished by people co-operat- ing -to gain the things they desir- ed. 'Farmers can co-operate with each other to produce better crops and better livestock, -and also co- operate to market these products. These things go hand-in-hand and can be accomplished if we so de- sire—it is up to us. 'Bell Telephone Is •Expanding More telephones were added, more money spent on new con- struction, more calls handled and more money earned by The Bell Telephone Company of Canada than. ever before as it experienced the most active year in its history during 1256. According to the compan'y's 77th annual report. the net increase of 243,408 telephones brought the total in service in the Bell's Ontario - Quebec territory to 2,766,153. Locally, growth in telephone seei vice parallelled this overall expan- sion. W, W. Haysom. Bell man- ager for this region. said that 29 telephones were added in Seaforth during 1956. bringing the total at the end of the year to 774. A total of $130.677.707 in wages and salaries was paid to Bell em- ployees in Ontario and Quebec last year. At the end of 1956 the &com- pany employed 39.688 people, 24,056 woman and 15.632 men. Expenditures for new construc- tion totalled $139,500.000 and the company expects to spend another $176,000.000 on construction during 1957. In this message to shareholders, Thomas W. Eadie, president, said the continuing rise in costs has been partially offset by higher pro- ductivity gained through placing in service equipment which handles more calls at lower operating ex- pense. "But. while we have been able so far to make the existing rate structure provide the kind of return it was designed to, we can- not take for granted that this sit- uation will prevail should general price and wage levels continue to rise." STAFFA WI. To Form Garden Club "A current event" was the roll call response of Staffa Women's Institute when they met for their February meeting. Miss Margaret Smith. of Mitchell, showed pictures of her recent trip to Europe. Mrs. Walter O'Brien, convener of His- torical Research and .Current Ev- ents, presided and presented the topic on the life of Thomas Thomp- son. Mrs. Lyle Worden gave house- hold hints. A skit. presented by Mrs. Carter Kerslake and Mr. Jack Butson entitled, "Mrs. 1897 Visits Mrs. 1957," was heartily en- joyed. Mrs. T. L. Scott sang, ac- companying herself on the auto- harp. During the business session it was decided to form a 4-H Garden Club. with Mrs. Arthur Kemp as leader, ,and Mrs. Carter Kerslake as assistant. Each Circle had com- pleted a quilt for the Hungarian relief. Miss Vera Hambly was named a delegate to attend the officers' conference in Guelph, May 9 and 10. Courtesy remarks were given by Mrs. Kemp. Lunch was served by Circle 3, during which the an- niversary cake, beautifully decor- ated in .bliA and gold, was cut by Mrs. Cecil Bowman.
