The first colonists to the eastern shores of North America brought. seeds with them and in some cases grafted trees of. European varieties, Apple trees were bearing fruit within a few years after the first settlements were established in the temperate portions of the continent, Indians, traders and missionaries helped to carry apples far beyond the towns, Today .apples are grown corn; mercially in British Columbia, On- tario, Quebec and the Maritimes.

As the meeting closed there was some rather heated discussion on the advisability of farmers publisiz- ing the exceptionally low feed costs per pound of gain on, livestock, :It was pointed Out that whildufarmers realize that these figures generally fail to allow for labour, capital in- vestment or depreciation the 'con- sumer is' more to. protest the 'seeming high cost of ,food, Federation News Many of the 400,000 childrenwhe travel by school bus in Canada are carried' on unsafe vehicles and driven by ill-qualified people, aceording to an article by Sidney Katz in the current Imperial Oil Review, In conducting a cross' country survey to find ,out; "HOW Safe Is Your Child in a School Bus?'", Mr, Katz found cause for both optimism and pesslmism,' He writes: "The cheerful news is that many school authorities are fully' aware of the school bus safet problem and are meeting it with vigor and imagination, generously booked by dollars; others are becoming aware of the hazards and are organizing to meet them, On the gloomy side, I found that in many parts of Canada' the full nature of the'prob- lem is not yet realized and that very little is being done. In some localities, considerations other than safety—such as local politics or the desire to save a few dollars— are being given priority." In any one of several provinces, the Review article reports, man can become a school bus driver without a stiff medical examination or without knowing much about driving a bus. Safety, authorities have uncovered such evidence, of defective equipment as badly-Worn tires, deteriorated brake linings, emergency doors rusted shut, and even makeshift plywood cabooses built on light trues. The "tender system" of granting contracts for school transportation accounts for many sub-standdrd vehicles; Katz learned, The fact that contracts go to the lowest bidders and are generally for only one year discourages the contractor from making the heavy invest- ment required for good. equipment, What can be done to improve things? The article reports, on measures 'taken in -.several. areas. Stricter qualifications for school bus drivers is a first step. The main consideration in granting contracts for school transportation should be safety, not price. School bus safety patrols, .such as Wis- consin's system of assigning two responsible senior students to each bus for this purpose, ' provide a means of encouraging safer ;con- duct on, the part of the young pasaengers,' either getting .On or off the bus or during actual travel, Never. before have we spent •so much on our spools, nor ' :dis- cussed.educational matters more, the Review article' notes:, But 'a more fundamental problem—how safely to Convey 400,000 children to and from their classrooms so .they can enjoy the fruits of our spend- ing and planning—is only now be- ginning to attract the widespread attention of educators,' safety authorities, and parents.

One way is to buy unpainted furniture and ,,to finish it at home. Finishing furniture is not diffi- cult—just a matter of using the right product and following clirec,- tions to the letter. A. good basic rule is this: NeVer apply a finish to a surface that is not,thoroughly clean and dry. Sand with fine sandpaper and dust off with a turpentine-dampened cloth before ever touching 'a paint brush, natural wood colors play an im- portant role in modern decorating schemes, The attractive grain of good wood can be enhanced and, at the same time, protected by a clear varnish. Certain open-grained woods such as oak, walnut or ma- hogany will need a wood fuller before varnishing while close- grained woods like pine or maple are all ready for the finishing job. New 'Wood usually needs at least two coats of varnish and each coat must be thoroughly dry before Starting. the next, It is also a good idea to sand' lightly between the coats. ' A special satin varnish, applied as the final coat, Will, give the furniture a lovely sheen, However, those of the "elbow-grease" -school prefer rubbing down the ordinary varnish with powdered pumice and 'water. Polished with a coat of liquid polish Or hard wax ' the finished wood will have a ";mellow;, look that's strictly profcssierial. In some woods; the natural color la not as attractive as it might be. ff that is the case, give it a coat Of Wood state before varnishing, There are many stain colors, on the mar- ket, The rosy-hued Loyalist maple finish, for instance, k One Which la adaptable t6 many decorating schemes and can be applied to Varioua types of wood with reward• ing feaults. A third eco4 Of dletit apPlied bitret bard- wearing finialt that resists Wag Insulation. Use On the Farm What are Some of ,Itbe point§ to keep iii mind when considering the insulation of any building? Thickness of the .insulating Ma, terial is one important factor, states Prof, F, H, Theakston, De- partment of Engineering Science, Ontario Agricultural College. Other qualities being equual, the Welter the material the 'better is the in- sulating property„ Location of the material is a factor also, Since more heat tries to escape through the ceiling than the Walls, insulation thickness at the top of any room. should be greater than that on the To increase the insulating prop- perty of material, a "vapour bar- rier" is often used, .11: is always placed on the warm side of a Wall. or ceiling, For example, in dairy barns and roultry houses. where there is warm, moisture-laden air inside, the harrier would 'be, placed against the inside of the insul- ation material; in cold storages or deep-freeze 'units, where the warm side is the outside, the. vapour barrier would be placed on the Out- side of the wall, • There . are a number of types of insulation material, There are batt types which come in standard sizes to fit in bewteen studs and joists. There is loose insulation which can be poured or blown into spaces in the wall, but this has a tendency to settle after a period of time and thus does not give uni- form results, Reflective insulation is another type, and works on the principle of reflecting heat back into the room. • The proper insulation of all buildings on the farm which house animals, poultry or people can be a very sound investment both from a production point of view and a heat-saving principle. EMPLOYERS ASKED TO HELP THE 11.11 .C. At this time of year, it is not unusual to hear remarks passed about persons who would rather draw their unemployment insur- ance benefits than ^work. ,The im- plication is that there is no parti- cular difficulty about doing so. The fact is, however, that every person who is in receipt of bene- fit must declare every time he re- ceives money' from the Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission, that. he is able, ready and willing to work. Moreover, anyone refusing an offer of suitable employment is, likely-tb„. be d'isEpialif•ied froth re- ceipt of benefit, „, In order, however, to test the sincerity of a person's declaration that he is able and willing to accept work, the•UIC must have a suit- able job opening to which that person can be referred. Here is an area in which employers might well work more closely with. the Commission. The Commission's National Em- ployment Service is designed spe- cifically to find the right worker for the employer's job and the right job for the unemployed-work- er. Matching the worker to the job is a highly skilled occupation and the NES has the staff to be of great assistalice to employers in this regard. Incidental to providing this ser- vice to workers and employers, the Commission would be placed in a much better position to check on the availability for employment of claimants. Canada's unemployment insurance plan was created to help the unemployed through periods of genuine unemployment, We are all losers when those who arc unscrup- ulous abuse the plan..
