lane now for
su.mmer help
'Warmers who employ stu-
dents during the summer Should
make their needs known as soon
as possible," Brays J.•W. Huldey,
Agricultural Manpower Officer
with the Ontario -Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.
Many students with agricultur-
al experience and training are
contacting the Agricultural Man-
power Services Branch in the
hope of arranging employment
on farms for the summer. A
number of these students partici-
pated in the Junior Agricultural-
ist Program last summer where
they gained experience in the
dare of livestock and machinery
operation.
"At the present time there are
more students available than
there are jobs; however, I am
certain there are many farmers
across the province looking for
summer help," says Mr. Huxley.
Farmers interested in employ-
ing these students should con-
tact : Ontario Ministry of Agricul-
ture and Food, Agricultural Man-

This seems to be a gold Week to

you happen to have a loose end,
join me.
Me and the Old Battieaxe spent
a couple of days in the city dorm
our winter break holiday. And
"spent" is the word. It .we!d
have been cheaper to fly toMexi-
co and peek, up Montezuma's
curse, as they call it there, or the
.dire rear as we call it here, T7i$
remark has no connection with
the opening sentence of this
• column.
We went out shopping to buy a
"little something" for Pokey, the
grandson. Just a little shirt, or a
toy, or some other trifle. Fifty
dollars later, I staggered out of
the department store, toting two
large toys, six little shirts, four
pairs of overalls, a full dress suit
for the kid, and a plastic shell
windbreaker with a lining and a
hood to "keep him warm when he
comes out froth swimming." At
15 months he's going to be doing a
lot of swimming, you see.
Then, of course, we had to de-
liver the stuff. So we invited our-
selves to dinner with daughter
and told her not to fuss, that we'd
bring along an old chunk of meat
or something. Never one to look a
gift horse in the mouth, she
agreed with alacrity.
My wife's idea of a couple of
items to help out with dinner
turned out to be five dollars worth
of steak, the equivalent in pies
and stuff, and assorted groceries
running to another 10, my daugh-
ter supplying the potatoes and
water for the coffee.
However, it was worth it. We
each got to hold the baby for
about 10 minutes, in one -minute
snatches, between bouts of trying
out his toys and. having clothes
tried on him by the women.
After many years, I finally
realize why I hate trying on new
clothes for my wife's surveil -

if there's nothing to take.
Next day, back home, she
modelled all her array for me. It
was then that I learned none of
her shoes or purses "went with"
the new clothes. The rest is his-
tory.
Two good things did come out
of that holiday, howr\rer. My wife
told me she wanted to see me in
one of my turtle -neck sweaters. I
fought it, but finally gave in with
bad grace.
"Where are they? They're in a
red plastic bag. Where did you
put it?"
"It's with the rest of the stuff,"
she retorted. It wasn't. It wasn't
anywhere.
After going back over the day
before, we agreed that I'd taken
it into the dining room, put it
beside my chair, and had walked
out without it. Of all the stupid

morosely to put some empties in

old red devil plastic bag. With
sweaters and tie.
The other good thing was gyp-

ordered breakfast for one. I
drank the orange juice, she ate
the buckwheat cakes, I ate the
toast and jam, and we shared the
coffee. Two breakfasts for the
price of one. I'll bet they haven't
caught .on yet. I saved $1.80 on
breakfast, two days in a row.
A profitable trip, taken all
round.

STAIN RING
If, after using a cleaning
fluid to remove a stain from a'
fabric, you find an ugly -looking
ring has formed, you can
usually remove it either by
sponging the -material with
clean water or by shaking it in
the steam from a briskly -boiling
teakettle or from your steam
iron. Scratching over the ring
with a fingernail, as shown in
the illustration, is another
corrective measure, or use of a
stiff brush, or rubbing the cloth
between the hands.
