old Dave enjoys fishing. I think
it is the only thing that keeps
him in one place for more than
ten minutes at' a time. Eddie
looked at me with his )dig won-
dering eyes and said — "Why
don't you and Gran'pa come to
our cottage, Grandma?" His
mother remarked — "Now that's
a good question?" Yes, it was a
good question all right but I
didn't have a good answer. How
could I explain to a four-year-
old that the comforts .of home
:meant more to us than boating,
fishing and swirieming — plus
mosquitoes, blackflies a n d
crowded accommodation. I sup-
pose we shall go up sometime
during the summer — and who
knows, we might change our
minds about the joys, of living
by .theo lake! Anyway we are

be a wonderful recreation room
— and up would go the taxes.
The way I have it fixed suits us
very ,well — also the furnish-

floor lamp, two cupboards and a
large oak table — surplus 'fur-

It has one disadvantage. Just

Neighbours enjoy a cup of tea

it could be picked up at auction

the-wetee, rowboat-style bottom.
The other kind, with a straight
bottom aft, no terecurve to it and
little or no narrowing toward
the stern is the planing type.
And since 3 hp isn't enough
power for planing it, slower
speed will be the result.
Does this small auto-top, with
planing-type bottom, have any
adveriteges for 3 hp use? Some!

aboard, it is doubtful if there
will be any real advantage. it
must be remembered that while
there are tw distinct types of
bottoms here, t h er e are also
various in-between, types and
extreme types. This makes gen-
eralizations difficult,
In addition to its reduced.
speed capabilities with 3 lip,
the auto-top with 4 planing-style
bottom may get stuck more easi-
ly in shallow water and may
weigh more. Some sportsmen
buy this planing type because
they plan on buying a larger
motor at some later date.
Caution should always be used
in applying extra power to any
narrow, small boat, no matter
what the bottom style. The fact
that the bottom will let the
boat plane is no guarantee in
itself of safety. In fact, some of
the norrowest of the planing
types will not even be safe
with 5 h.p. The quite narrow
planing style often won't plane
with the 5 hp. In fact, the stern
may sink too low for safety as
the boat struggles to plane. The
boat may also jerk and tip too
much when the steering handle
controlling the 5 hp is given a
hard, sudden shove.
There are many reasons why
old motors start hard. Often
they'll go right off when cold,
but nothing will induce them to
start while hot. This unpleasant
kind of performance usually oc-
curs out on the lake somewhere,
of course, with the result that
the use of the word unpleasant
may strike some veterans of
knuckle wars with beat-up mo-
tors as being wild understate-
ment. Anyway, causes can vary,
but one deserves special men-
tion,
Old motors often lose compres-
sion. Then, since cylinders ex-
pand more than piston rings,
they have less compression still
when warm. An old motor can
absolutely refuse to start from
le-ck of compression when hot,
yee go right off every time when
cold.
• Since ignition is often sub-pat
on old motors, owners often
spend time and money to no
avail on -wiring, condensers, and
so on, when the trouble is really
compression. Mind, we're not
saying faulty condensers or
other parts can't cause this sort
of trouble. But if it's compres-
sion, the remedy may have to
be new piston rings. Using extra
oil won't correct it.
Here's why this trouble occurs
more often than you might
think, happening sometimes to
motors with seemingly good
compression when turned over
cold. The cooling systems of old
motors seldom do a first class
job. As years go on, scale de-
posits form, partially blocking
water flow. This is especially
true if motor has been run in
salt water. Result — motor over-
heats. — By Willard Crandall,

"What next?;" That's what
I've been saying off and on for
years — and I'm still saying it.
On the farm there was always
something happening to provoke
rust such a question — like a
terrific downpour just as we
were ready to draw in hay; or
the cattle getting away when we
thought the fences were abso-
lutely foolproof; or the time
when we were sure Janie had
calved even though we couldn't
find a calf. Later we 'found the
poor little thing drowned in the
water-trough. Yes, on the farm
something was always happen-
ing, sometimes good, sometimes
bad. Away from the farm we
thought there would be less ex-
citement. There is, in a personal
way, but now we find ourselves
involved in neighbour-problems.
Last year, for instance, one fellow
wasnbuilding a garage. It was
eonepleted except for the doors.
Along came a windstorm and we
saw the roof heaving, ready to
take off at any minute. Neigh-
bours rushed to the rescue care
rying anything'heavy they could '
lay hands on and heaved it on
to the roof to held it down.
Well, last week came another
S.O.S. 'Mrs. Clarke, tell the what
to do, we've got bees swarm-
ing in our backyard — thous-
ands of them. I saw them com-
ing like a cloud and then they
fastened on to our trees."
My first idea was that we
should contact an apiary. I guess
the idea was 'all right but we
didn't know where there was an
apiary. Then I thought of the
Humane Society. While I was
still at the phone Partner came
in. "Phone the police," he said,
"either the polie:e or the fire de-
partment are the ones to look
after that situation." So I relay-
ed the'advice and Mrs. P. phoned
the police. They took it all in.
their stride, (Aren't the police'
wonderful?) The sergeant said,
they had a man on the forcewho
kept bees. As soon as he came
in they would have him call.
Between th. time the bees
swarmed and the police returned
the call was about three hours.
However, about ten minutes be-
fore the policeman-beekeeper
phoned the bees had taken off,
heading west, Apparently their
location didn't quite suit them
so they departed in search of
better quarters — to the great
relief of Mrs. P. Actually she
didn't realise it was a danger-
ous situation until I told her to
stay in the house with the doors
and windows closed; to keep the
children and the dog in too, and
to be sure nothing Was around
to worry the bees. Once she
stepped outside to retrieve a
child's toy and a bee lit into her
face — just as if it were blinded
and enidn't know where it was
going, Then she realized it was
no time for fooling.
Well, that isn't a very exciting
end to my story, is it? We never
did find out where the bees went
to although the police said they
would patrol the district. There
are a number of overgrown va-
cant lots around here se even
now they they not be too far

Archaeology changes one's at-
titude to the landscape. One
looks with a clearer and wiser
eye; a new dimension has been
added to the scene, A mound is
no longer just a mound. .
One's eye becomes adapted to
picking out artificial from natu-
ral elements aid to making judg-
ments on them.-it soon automati-
cally distinguishes the curve of a
broken flint from the curve of a
potsherd. And a score of reas-
ons may have to be sorted out
to explain any one feature of
the landscape. Sand or clay has
been dug, drainage has caused
a ridge or depression, and so on.
One needs to know the kinds of
farming in all their varieties that
have been carried on, past and
Present, the crafts and indus-
tries; the particular problems
and challenges which nature has
here set men.
Even the activities of animals
gain a new meaning. Moles and
rabbits may bring up sherds and
odd objects 'from the careen I
have never been rewarded •much
by their scrapings, but one never
knows. A man at Winscombe re-
cently noted bits of pottery from
rabbit-diggings; as a result the
site of a new Romano-British
temple has been found •on Breart
Down, Somerset. Similarly, there
may be signs in road-cuttings or
where an old,tree heels over and
wrenches up -earth and stones
with its roots:
Ditches ,and rivers, cleaned
out, can bring up more 'than
scraps of willow-pattern crock-
ery and old boots, Ploughed
fields, especially after harrowing
has broken the clods and widen-
ed the visibility, are- always
worth a look. So, when the Es-
sex River Board cleared some
miles of the' Colne above Hal-
stead and threw the clay and
gravel of the river bed.on to the'
banks, they provided too good a
chance for the archaeological
prospector to miss....
Then, round about the ford
where the cattle come to drink,
a few sherds, unglazed' ware
coarsely grey or brown, certain-
ly old. At last a rim, medieval.
There seems break across in
the ground here, but is it an old
road or simply a track worn by
the cattle?
On among the trees on the
banks. Now the first Roman
finds, both rim and bases, with a
few medieval bits. A tree has
fallen over a drainage cut, but
grips nothing in its roots, A little
