Rambling With Lucy
(Lucy R. Woods)
"Mr. and Mrs. . 'The Hut', Hayfield, Ontario, Canada".
That is how a Christmas greeting from Lucy's next-of-kin in
England, reached here.'
Recently "Mr. and Mrs." at "The Hut" looked oacer their
Christmas cards and stored them away. And "Mrs." suddenly
realized that in ten months there'd be more to replace these.
That's a warning! Only 10 months until Christmas!
But before we come to that cold season again let us
anticipate Spring, Summer and Autumn and hope for season-
able weather which will suit most people.
Two weeks ago on that day which nearest approached a
thaw this year, "Mr." decided to push spring ahead, in the
house at any rate.
So he took a shovel in hand, went out by the bird-feeding
station and commenced to shovel snow off and four stakes
appeared.
"Missy", the pet black squirrel was in the feeding station.
But there were no sun flower seeds there at the time-only
some suet which she didn't wish. She didn't know whether
"Mr," was going to chase her or not. But when he spoke
kindly, she decided to hang around and see what was going on.
After the snow came off, a pile of leaves was turned back.
"Mr." pushed his shovel into the earth and digged down.
There was a black hole surrounded by white snow.
-Missy" sat up on the snow bank and craned her neck.
Her bright eyes spotted the pots. But when "Mr." lifted
them out she lost interest. They weren't tulips after all,
only daffodils and hyacinths, so she scampered off to other
interests.
Perhaps she went up to the Malcom Toms' home on
Main Street.
Asked by Lucy if they had many birds at their feeding
station, Mrs. Toms answered, "No, but we have squirrels."
It seems that one black one comes to the back door look-
ing for a handout. Offered a slice of bread by Mr. Toms,
she refused it until he'd spread it with peanut butter, Then
she ate ravenously before carrying the _remainder away.
And there is a small bird feeder,. hanging on the clothes
line, put there in the supposition that the squirrels couldn't
reach it.
Those clever little animals use their brains. They jump
from a tree over on top of the feeder, hang onto the clothes-
The by their hind legs while they turn the feeder upside
down and shake the sunflower seeds out onto the snow. Then
they feast on the ground,
But to come back to "The Hut," Miss Cardinal has been
hanging about here lately (no doubt keeping her eye open
hoping to lure one of the young males, hatched here last
year, to his doom should he appear without a wife).
"Mr." had no sooner lifted the pots out of that big dark
hole and carried them to the porch, than Miss Cardinal
popped right down into it and came up with a treat-a real
live worm. Her appetite so engulfed her that she threw
caution to the winds, and the chickadees flitted in and out,
delighted with the out-of-season delicacies. But frost came
next day and put an end to these specialties in the food line.
The weather has been so cold since that, the water in a
pan in which the potted bulbs were sitting, had a skim of
ice over it. That was in the sunroom right up against one
of the French doors into the heated dining room.
It seems that one cannot even make believe this year!
The hyacinths will probably bloom in the garden as soon
as' those in the house.

SS 4 Farm Forum
The SS No. 4 Goderich Town-
ship Farm Forum met on Mon-
day night at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Donald Lobb, with ten
members present.
The topic on radio was "Pro-
spects for Farmers". This was
an interesting subject, and
there was a good discussion.
Question: How does your
standard of living appear in re-
lation to that of a comparable
city-dweller?
It was decided that the stand-
ard of living in our own com-
munity as we see it, is lower
than that of the city-dweller.
It seems that we do not have
the time and freedom for relax-
ation, as the city-dweller does.
Our standard certainly has
improved in the past few years.
We feel that we should com-
pare ourselves with the city
business man.
Question: What plans are
you making to improve your
prospects on the farm?
Some plan on specialized
farming, some plan on expand-
ing their volume of business,
some plan on continuing their
off-farm income, because that
income is more dependable than
the income from farm products.
Question: What farm pro-
grams are necessary if your
prospects are to be improved?
The farmers must have
education, organization, co-op-
eration and more advertising in
connection with the business.
Farm organizations do not
work together.
Too many Tamers are indif-
ferent and decline to take part,
knowing that the benefits will
go to all farmers, whether they
support the organization or not.
