Look for Trouble
Be thankful for the troubles
of your job. They provide
about half your income. Be-
cause if it were not for the
things which go wrong, the
difficult people you have to
deal with, and the problems
and unpleasantness of your
working day, someone could be
found to handle your job for
half of what you are being paid.
It takes intelligence, re-
sourcefulness, patience, tact,
and courage to meet the
troubles of any job. That is
why you hold your present job.
And it may be the reason you
aren't holding down an even
bigger one.
If all of us would start to
look for more troubles, and
learn to handle them cheerfully
and with good judgment — as
oportunities, rather than irrita-
tions — we would find our-
selves getting ahead at a sur-
prising rate. For it is a fact
that there are plenty of jobs
waiting for men who aren't
afraid of the troubles connected
with them. — Robert R. Upde-
graff.

Beacons in
The Countryside
A dozen eastern Ontario
farmers will participate in a
trial to determine the value of
a new outdoor light for farm
use. Similar to a street light,
it is controlled by a photo-
electric cell which turns the
light on as darkness falls, then
turns it off again as the light
increases in the morning.
The light is expected to in-
crease farm efficiency and to
discourage human and four -
footed prowlers. Being auto-
matic, the light will always
be on to greet families return-
ing home after dark, and it
will work while they are on
vacation. Ontario Hydro is
installing the lights in the East
Central Region, and the farm-
ers will be offered the option
of buying them after the trial
period. — Hydro News.
It's no fun getting around in a car that sounds
like it may quit on you at any time. It's un-
necessary, too. A thorough check-up by our
skilled mechanics will give you a vehicle that's
pleasing to drive.

Simple Rules for
Burning Debris
In Fire District
If you're burning debris at
camp or cottage within the
fire district during the fire sea-
son, follow these four simple
fire prevention safety rules:
1. Obtain a fire permit
from your local fire warden or
forest ranger.
2. Set your fire in a safe
place, preferably an incinera-
tor.
3. Always burn at a safe
time, never on a windy day.
It is safer to burn in the eve-
ning when the wind is calm,
4. Never leave your fire
until it is dead out.
EXPLORING THE
CANADIAN ARCTIC
Many scientific parties have
been sent by the Canadian fed-
eral government to map the
country's far north. These ex-
peditions began in 1884,
around Hudson Strait. Later
parties worked westward of Hud-
son Bay. At the end of the
Second World War, a compre-
hensive program of aerial
photography enabled the RCAF
to produce the first complete
maps of Arctic Canada.

Items That Could Be Found
In 18th Century General Store
Whoever thinks the country
store must have been a hodge-
podge, thinks exactly right.
From the earliest mudchinked
log cabin establishment to the
late model brick emporium,
"the store" was a housekeeper's
horror.
There were soaps, spices,
salt, dishes, books and dry -
goods on the shelves. Hard-
ware and leather goods shared
floor space with barrels of flour,
sugar, and molasses. A cat in
a cracker barrel was common-
place. Axes, log chains, ket-
tles, pots and pans, kegs of
nails were piled in corners or
hung from the rafters on cords.
Shoes were piled loose in a
big "shoe box," saddles and
harnesses added to the variety.
The drug corner lined up pa-
tent medicines, physics and se-
datives, laudanum, paragoric,
rhubarb, turpentine, sweet oil,
opium and epsom salts. Coffee,
cheese and tobacco crowded
the counter along with piles of
Russian Sheeting, shirting and
bed ticking. Women who
bought yard goods material had
to hang it out to air before they

MEMaER OF OUTDOOR WRITERS
DO IT NOW
Immediately — at once —
don't delay another day. I am
not referring to those odd jobs
such as taking off the storm
windows, painting the eaves,
cleaning the yard or garage;
all of which might be better
left to the superior skills and
talents of the little woman.
I am talking about the an-
nual chore of checking over
your fishing tackle to get it in
readiness for the fast approach-
ing season.
RODS
It is very important to care-
fully examine the guides and
top on your rod for grooves
caused by line wear. Many a
fine fish is lost because the
line was nicked or shredded on
a grooved top or guide.
If you notice any signs of
wear, replace them without
hesitation; preferably with ones
made of carboloy, which will
last almost indefinitely.
Carefully wrap the guides
to your rod with nylon thread
and coat all the wrappings on
the rod with varnish or clear
nail polish. This will give
them a good protective coating
against wear and weather.
A loose ferrule can be very
annoying; particularily when
the tip section of the rod flies
off during a cast and follows
the lure into water. This can
be rectified by giving the male
half of the ferrule a light coat-
ing of varnish,
REELS
Disassemble and thoroughly
clean your reels. Examine the
gears for signs of wear and re-
place them if necessary. Line
will sometimes groove the bail
roller on open face reels and
the pick-up pin on closed face
reels.
It's a good idea to test the
drag on spinning reels as the
tension springs or washers need
occasional replacing. The
same goes for the bail springs
which will grow weak or brittle
with use.
Re -pack the gears with a
good quality reel grease and
oil your reel where necessary.
It's performance is dependant
on being lubricated with a
light, free-flowing lubricant.
Don't use an all-purpose house-
hold or machine oil which is
usually too thick and will gum
up the reel.
LINE
I feel that spinning line
should definitely be replaced
every season. If you're any-
thing like me you will find this
OF CANADA
necessary upon innumerable oc-
casions throughout the year.
Once the line gets low on the
spool, a great deal of casting
distance is sacrificed.
When it's left on the spool
over the winter, monofilament
line seems to deteriorate as
well as get kinked and twisted.
It's foolish to handicap yourself
or take some of the enjoyment
out of the opening by using last
year's line.
It's always a good idea to
have at least two spools for
your reel with different weights
of line on them. I would sug-
gest one spool with six pound
test on it and the other with
eight pound line. Many fellows
prefer using four pound for
much of their angling and there
are places where it might be
wise to go to a 10 pound test.
However, I feel it is complete-
ly unnecessary and unenjoyable
to use a spinning line heavier
than ten pound unless angling
for tarpon or mermaids (check
local seasons and limits).
LURES
Naturally, you are going to
want to try out a few of those
new lures you've seen in the
tackle displays. But I'll bet
there are a lot of old baits
kicking around in the corners
of the tackle box that could be
made to look like new with a
bit of polish and elbow grease.
The hooks will probably need
sharpening or replacing if
they've rusted.
NETS
I mention this item because
I have seen some lunkers lost
due to rotten or torn mesh on a
net. It's not necessary to pur-
chase a new net if this is the
case as many tackle dealers
carry replacement bags for
nets. I have noticed you can
often buy a much better quality
replacement bag than you find
on the complete units.
BOOTS
If they've wintered in the
garage, back porch or car
trunk chances are, old man,
that you are going to have to
spring for a new pair. The
cold will deteriorate rubber
boots as will leaving them fold-
ed like hip boots often are.
It's better to find the leaksand
patch them now then to dis-
cover thein when you are stand-
ing in waist -deep water in a
frigid beaver pond.
We'll close on the subject of
waders by mentioning "A bath-
ing beauty is a girl worth wad-
ing for".
started "making it up."
Outside the store hung a
bright sign, picturing the wares
sold inside. This was for the
benefit of those who could not
read—they could at least see
what business was carried on
inside.
When, about the turn of the
19th century, frame buildings
made log cabins obselete, up-
to-date store quarters were '
built with cellars cool enough
to store cheese, butter, and
eggs, and roomy enough for
hogsheads of molasses, cakes
of whale oil and camphine.
But new products were coming
out all the time and shelves
and counters were as crowded
as ever. After 1860, barrels of
the popular kerosene added a
new and distinctive odor.
Heating arrangements took
up space—fireplaces in the
earliest stores; later Franklin
heaters and cast iron 10 -plate
stoves. The pot-bellied stove,
first used by railroads, came to
store use only when coal be-
came cheaper fuel than wood.
The big colourful coffee
mills were standard equipment
after the 1860's when coffee
first became popular.
Somewhere around the store
there was sure to be a dried
fruit augar, used for loosing
the dried fruits that were ship-
ped in barrels. An augar,
grinder was needed so that
chunks of hardened sugar, loos-
ened by the same dried fruit
augar, could be put between
rollers and broken fine enough
to sell.
Purchases were wrapped in
"Pokes" or "Papers". The cap-
able sales clerk could manufac
ture one in midair.
The pioneer stores contribut-
ed vitally to the survival and
growth of this country. Even
back in the 1700's the Indians
decreed the basis for the coun-
try store to come as well as the
20th century shopping centre—
"plenty of everything, and all
in one spot." Over the past
three hundred years, we have
completed a cycle that began
with the "everything -under -
one -roof' country store and has
returned, full circle, to the
modern shopping centre that
provides one-stop shopping for
busy Canadian homemakers.
Departments of the country
store — shoes, men's and Wo-
men's clothing, millinery, knit
goods, baked goods, children's
toys, fabrics, trinkets, and odd
and ends are to be found in spe-
cialty shops clustered about the
department store and supermar-
ket core of today's shopping
centre.
As for the wonderful tomor-
row, within the realm of possi-
bility in another five years are
punch -card shopping, where
electronic machines select and
collect your groceries; constant-
ly changing lighting patterns in-
side the store; moving sidewalks
from parking lot to stores,
automatic check-out counters
that add up your bills, pack
your groceries and deliver your
change — all without human
guidance.
Sharpen Your
Mower Now
If your lawn mower has not
been sharpened during the win-
ter, why not do it now? Later
when the warm weather arrives
the grass needs cutting, local
craftsmen may be too busy to
attend to your immediate wants.
Rotary type mower blades can
easily be sharpened at home.
Remove the blade and sharpen
with a hand file or an emery
wheel. Reel type mowers
should be taken to a craftsman
who will sharpen and set it at
a reasonable cost.
In 1896, "Dorothy Dix", Mrs.
Elizabeth M. Gilmer, beganher
