A HOT WEATHER IDEA ] Through this column, from time to’ time, we hate suggested that a swim- ] mtog pool would be a great asset to ] pur town. Several municipalities about { the size of Wingltam have facilities of j this kind and the people both young j and c-M. especially the j-eunger, find it I > most useful addition to the life oil the -comv.m-.'.:ty. The hot spell last! week was a reminder that we could I have used a swimming pool to great] advantage. The advantages -of a swim- ? ming pool are not confined to the] pleasures it affords, encouraged to learn 1 a-ery young and to th .great deal of the community W-ondd be at this place, It was s ®d a short time ago that the rb the fair grounds could be used purproe.

Barn Near Clifofrd Burned Fire of undetei mined origin late on Wednesday did several thousand dol­ lars damage when it totally destroyed a large bank barn on the farm of Tel­ ford Scip, half a mile south of Clifford, Neighbors noticed the flames and im­ mediately rallied in a successful at­ tempt to save the nearby Seip resi­ dence from destruction as the wind was blowing in that direction. The Harriston fire brigade responded and was assisted by a strong bucket brig­ ade. The fire-fighters were handicap-; ped when the main shaft of the wind-! mill burned in two.

Vi e in Can­ ada, so far away from the par opera­ tions, are very apt to develop a false sense of security, in fact, many have this attitude. Dealer B. Pearson, coun­ selor at Canada House in Ixrndou, just- back from Britain, in an address at Ottawa, warned Canadians, He said;- ’’People nrn^t not rely on the assur­ ance that ■‘there’!’, always be an Eng-; land' or ‘don’t worry Britain always wins the last battle’ or that ‘time is on’ .■■ur side'. Time is on our side only if; we take advantage of it. We might; lose the last battle without realizing, it was the last battle. Any empire can : lose any war," This is a direct cliail-! enge to Canadians to make total ef-! tort, the only effort that will bring the; results that we are fighting to obtain.; Others have said as much but not in- t so direct a way.

In the summer time you will see the goat hitched to a lawn mower, cutting the spacious lawns around the residence, and in the winter it is hitched to a snowplow and makes a fine job of the paths.

Bridge Blocked Crane Passage Traffic on highway 21 was blocked for four hours Thursday and forced to detour when the roof of a cab of a large power crane mounted on a trail­ er became wedged on a steel girder of the C.P.R. overhead bridge on Dun­ lop’s Hill, just north of Goderich. The big crane, en route to Dungannon to dismantle a. rock crushing plant, was being towed by a truck by the Boyce Cartage Company, Toronto, with Wil­ liam Taylor, Toronto, driving.

Donald Rae & Son Hardware PHONE 27 WINGHAM placed in each of the spaces between the corners; this hay rests on the cross bars, and is not allowed to fall into the centre of the tripod. Keeping the centre open is an important feature of tripod curing. The hay is then built on top of this base to form an invert­ ed cone-shaped cock. The nearer the' sides are to a vertical position, the better will the cock shed the rain. The final forkful of hay is placed directly above the apex of the tripod to form a pointed roof. None of the hay rests on the ground, but is suspended in the ’ air on the tripod frame-work, thus al­ lowing a current of air to pass under the hay and up through the open cen­ tre to facilitate the drying process. A well built tripod cock can be left ’ in the field for two or even three weeks. About three -or four indies of hajr on the outside will bleach consid­ erably but in the remainder there should be little change in coIout from that at the time of cocking. fact that the garden hasn't been work­ ed up. The ultimatum is handed out over the breakfast table, “Uunless you work that garden up today, I’m not ; going to do any preserving this year,” Needless to say, the garden is worked up. You know what a garden looks like when it .has been worked up. There’s still ‘the process of drilling it up into rows. Mrs. Phil generally has another battle on her hands to get the garden drilled into rows. Somehow men folks never seem to mind planting early potatoes. One. part of the garden is set aside for this1 purpose and the cut potatoes dropped into the holes. Perhaps, it’s because we’re looking ahead to that first day when “new potatoes” are in. Why does .a man hate to plant a gar­ den? Give him a package of beet seeds and tell him to start planting and *see what happens. He starts off bravely, dropping the seeds as they should be. The sun warms up and the perspira­ tion starts dropping . . and the chanc­ es are the majority of the package of seeds is dumped in a neat heap in a row. That’s what puzzles Mrs. Phil. She ’can nevey imagine how it is that the beets seem to grow quite regularly to a certain point, and then there will be a whole plantation of them. One of the most exasperating jobs of all in regard to the garden in my opinion is that of planting Dutch Set onions. You are faced by a very large hag of these very small onions and ex­ pected to plant them. Mrs. Phil supervises the job at first Every four or five inches an onion is io be gently pressed down in the ground and then just barely covered | with soil.
