In the spring we talk so greatly about blooms and the beauty of our trees as the leaves unfold after a long winter, we no doubt appreciate this great feat of nature, but the coloring of the woods in Autumn is something we should talk about.

OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE Throughout Canada during the past month many branches of the Red Cross Society have been organized or re-organized and those who have been active in peace time have taken on further responsibilities. 'The Red Cross Society has done a noble work' during the past twenty years of peace and the valueable ser­ vice this organization rendered dur- irtg the Great War is something of -which they are justly proud. We are at war again and the Red ’Cross is again taking on a great task •such as it did in the last war. This •opportunity for service is such that the organization which carried on in •peace time could not begin to carry rout their important task successfully. For this reason the call was sent out ■by headquarters to have places which ’had. no society, to organize. Wing- liam was one of these — but not so •now as we have a society formed.

Designed and made by a British firm (Messrs. Chance Bros. Ltd.) the “robot” indicator will be the first of its type in any aerodrome in the world. The position of its main vane alters only when a definite change of wind direction takes place, and is maintained for a given period of sec­ onds. It is capable of remote control and remote indication. The officer in the control tower can “see which way the wine) is blowing” by merely glancing at a repeater on his desk, and can al­ so, if necessary, switch over the con­ trols from “automatic” to “manual”. In the manual position the indicat­ or can be rotated into any position and kept there. Oh switching back, to automatic control the indicator will immediately, take up correct position according to the average wind direc­ tion. Other equipment for guidance of aircraft includes a mile-long line of contact lights, let into the ground, to assist aircraft to land in foggy weather. The new airport vyill not be com­ pleted before next spring, but it is expected that limited use will be made of it this winter.

Most canned spinach, of course, is chopped up. In the Eleventh Century, Arabian doctors prescribed spinach for many conditions especially of the throat and the chest. Two centuries later,, spinach enjoyed a period of great fav­ or as a laxative and intestinal cleans­ er. Today ijt is Jcnown that spinach; has a high iron content. It also con­ tains small quantities of organic salts- of potash and lime and is relatively' rich in sugar.
