American best sellers are sent to Toronto on rape where cop- ies are made on electronic equipment that produces 1'4 copies at a time, Canadian books arc taped by volunteers in six cities across Canada and again sufficient copies are made to keep pace with reader demands. If you continue your tour of the lib, rary you will come to a section of large volumes bound in dark green covers with little adorn- ment in print or colour. These are the Braille books which are read by touch, once the blind person has mastered the forma- tion of the dots, which make up the Braille alphabet. The library is also preparing text books, both on tape and in Braille, for 135 blind students in higher education - the larg- est number to date enrolled at the university level. This ser- vice was just beginning ten years ago when one early mod- el tape recorder was set aside for the student text book ser- vice. Mr. Frank Madill, campaign chairman, said "When you con- tribute to the annual financial appeal under way here from Oc- tober 1st to 15th, you will share in providing new books for your blind neighbors. You will also share in distributing three tons of books across Canada every day of the week post free by Her Majesty's mail man."

Fall is the best season tOseed a lawn, state horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture and Food. This period of cool nights and warm days encourages good rooting, Proper preparation of the bed is a primary requisite when es- tablishing a new lawn, The best grade should slope gently away from the house on all sides. This slope should fall two to four inches in 10 feet to allow the surface water to run off gradually without causing erosion. It is also important to eliminate small hollows and de- pressions where water may stand. Good topsoil is essential for a high quality lawn. A five to six inch covering of good loam topsoil with the addition of or- ganic matter such as manure, peat, or compost should be adequate. An application of a complete fertilizer such as 5- 20-20 at the rate of 30 lbs. per 1,000 square feet will produce rapid root growth. The final preparation of the seedbed should start about two weeks prior to sowing. The soil should be worked occasionally during this period to destroy any weeks that have started. Roll and rake the area to produce a fine level bed. At seeding time, there should be no lumps larger than a grain of corn on the surface. Grass seed should be applied at the rate of three to five pounds per 1,000 square feet. Seeding may be carried out by Lad in hospital with broken leg WHITECHURCH—Murray Ad- ams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clar- ence Adams, is a patient in Wingham and District Hospital with a broken leg. The injury occurred on Saturday while the boy was playing on the plat- form at the Whitechurch Mill. Murray fell from the platform and a bag of grain fell on him. His leg was twisted and fractur- ed. the use of a mechanical seeder or by hand spreading. For large areas, it is wise to sow half the seed in one direction and the other half at right angles to it. The low fertilizer spreader on wheels with adjustable side openings is ideal for sowing seed; a very even distribution can be made close to the ground; economical, too. After the area has been seed- ecl, rake the soil to a depth of I-inch. Rake in one direction rather than back and forth to prevent putting the seed into channels or ridges. After the seed is covered, LUXURIOUS WIDE WALE the area should be rolled to firm the soil around the seed and encourage rapid, uniform gemlination. Keep the roller dry to avoid picking up seed. Three separate railings are re- quired: immediately Aftex tow- ing, after germination, and af- ter the first cutting. The ground should be well watered within i4 hours after rolling, Do not drag hose over prepared ground. When selecting lawn seed, choose a variety that is suitable to soil conditions in your area; e check with your local nursery- man.
