Its Columnists like to. poke a little good natured fun at the garden seed catalogue, with its bright pic- tures and alluring descriptions, which coiner along just about the time winter has readied its peak. But to the columnist and the rest of us a good seed catalogue is as interesting as a good novel at this season of the year and is much " CBC RADIO TO -NIGHT and every night of the week mord: satisfyipg reading than many novels, too. For the person with a garden that will be coming to life again in a few short weeks, the seed catalogue is really indispensable. With it We • can plan, make our gardens more interesting and beau- tiful and make them more pro- ductive, as well. Without the specific information in the seed catalogue we would be gardening in the dark. A Vital Gude In addition to the bright pic- tures which, by the way, are actual photographs and not the concep- tion of some imaginative artist, the seed catalogue. tells us precisely when, where and which to plant. It informs of the hardiness and special 'likes in the way of soil and location of each flower or vege- table. We then know which will be best and most satisfactory for our particular garden. It also tells us the color Of the blown in the case of flowers and the days to maturity for the various vege- tables. This again is vital inform- , ation ill planning. Heights are also , given of moat plants so that we won't have some big Bowers hiding little ones or try to grow great bushy annuals like the bigger salvia, zinnias and marigolds in' little teeny beds.

Glucla more harm than good results from this haste with most garden jobs. .But them is one we can hardly start too oon. That is repairing, rebuilding the lawn or starting a brand new one. Grass grows best when the wea- ther is cool and moist and the sooner the .seed is planted in the spring thebetter. Of course, we can't or shouldn't start to rake or dig while the soil is the least bit muddy. But even before the last spew goes we can put up a wire around the lawn to protect it from wandering children and adults who should know' better. The a little later we can smooth out any (bumps and fill and holes and re -seed. With the ,nervy lawn -to -be, too, we should start raising and levelling just as soon as the soil is dry enough. Grass, it should be remembered, is a plant just like a flower or vegetable, and if we want it do well, we plant the best seed available and in good fine soil. We will have more to say about this later on. NEXT WEEK—Planning Vege- table Groups. KNOX LADIES' AID The Knox Church Ladies' Aid held their February meeting on Friday in the church parlor•.

All he wanted to know was why deer could be shot out o season on the property of some exclusive hunt clubs in the province. r What s smudge of indignation arose! The premier was indignant at the suggestion that there was one law for the rich, one for the poor in his domain. Anyone who broke the game laws would be prosecuted, he declared roundly, including John Foster Dulles, own- er of one of the sanctuaries named Nobody could say fairer than that now, could they? Spokesmen for Mr. Dulles, who just happens to be U.S. Secretary of State, were almost in tears watt indignation. Mr. Dulles, they de Glared, was the soul of gentleness • had never shot a deer out of Man Drove 60- mph On local Streets Though Suspended Josh Reginald Daer, a 20,year- old Goderich Haan who drove over town streets at CO mph while die. gguaiiaed, pleaded guilty to two charges in court here last week. For driving while under sus- pemion he was fined $50 and assts or 10 days in jail. The magistrate ordered that the .vehicle be im- pounded for three months if it regis- tered in tier's own name or in the name of one of his parents. In addition, Daer was fined $20 and. costs for speeding in Goderich. on February 10. Pleading guilty to careless driv- ing, Jack Nethery,- of R.R. 1, Au- burn, 'was fined $50 and costs or 10 days in jail. Crown Attorney H. Glenn Hays explained that Nethery was in- volved in an accident between Auburn and Blyth on January 22. He was attempting to pass another vehicle in the fog when his car struck an oncomipg auto, said the erown attorney. Nethery also pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while disquali- fied. On this, he was given sus- pended sentence for six months and ordered to post a $100 bond. The magistrate further recom- r mended that no driver's license be granted to the man for two years. ' Harold George Stewart, of Gode- rich, was line -d $25 and costs after he pleaded guilty to careless driv- ing in Goderich on February 9. Harold G .Lamb, 18, was fined $10 and costs fur driving without having obtained a license. Lamb ' said he had list his license some time ago and had • never applied for a new one. u o — o New Hurcon Ag Rep Former Beef Man season, had never ,hot a deer in his life. In tact, they implied, if any Crazy deer came around Mr llulles, trying to gc t shut, he would beat it ulf with a club. Owners of another of the private preserves, Canadian subsidiaries of a mighty U.S. motor firm, were equally indignant and equally righteous. Why, that island wasn't for hunting at all, their public re- lations department retorted with throbbing sincerity. R was just a sort of school, where the brighter production men c%uld do their homework with no other interrup- tion except that of those darned does which are practically a plague on the place. There is li;t'e doubt that the Minister of Lands and Forests vva.s also indignant, though reports that smoke was seen ascending from his ear.i have apparently little basis in fact. Nobody was really break- ing the law, you see, because, uh, well, they were shooting out of season, but uh, everybody sort of knew about it, and, uh, well, they stocked the place with their own deer, and it was, uh, kind of tradi- . tonal, and, uh, maybe some of the deer came from the mainland, buts we dust never, hili, loolkecT" into; it, and; uh; I'm sure • nobody was try- ing to break the' law, and, special rights — old charters no harm done. And so on. e:* ': ' There was thunderous indigna- tion, in` large, messy gobs, from opposition newspapers. There was phonnyAndignation from Yankee - haters, who were delighted . at the idea that Mr. Dulles might have broken the law. * * * There was niggling indignation, directed at the Member, among those who 'believe that a dollar makes more sense than a deer, in or out of season. "Why doesn't he mind his own business? Look at all the taxes those big shots are paying. If they want to shoot a deer on their own property, what's the difference." Quite. And if I want to strangle my grandmother, what's the difference, as long as I bury her in my own cellar. x: * * =a Of course, there was the honest indignation of the Member himself. There is no indignation more hon- est than that of a member of the Opposition, as he stands there, fighting for the Little Man, head wreathed in halo, one hand on his heart, ,the other clutching a har- poon. I Iluron County's now - agricultural representative, D. H. (Doug) Miles, 38, operated a beef stocker farm near ,Milliken for five yearefore joining the Department of Agri- culture. • Mr. Miles, who has been the *: * * But of all the shades of indigna- tion, none was quite as purple as that expressed by some of the more expert among district poachers. "Howda ya like them million- aires''" they roared at the dinner table as their children munched on fresh venison. "Just because they got money. Take the food out of a man's mouth. Oughta be a law." * * * ! quite agree. There Oughta be a law. In fast, there oughta be two laws, one for the rich, the other for the rest of us. There's far too much equality in this coun- try. First thing ,you know, a cat will be able to look at a king. * It's nothing short of shocking that a wealthy man otf culture, who wants to pamper his connoisseur's palate with a venison filet mignon, should be subject to the same laW as a rude poacher, who feeds his kids on deer meat, when they'd rather have pork, just betause it's handier and cheaper. It's high time something was done about it. The sooner we get two distinct sets of laws, one for the rich and ono for the( poor, the happier our rich will be. And we want our rich to be happier. I'm getting sick and tired of everybody saying "what's the use of being rich if you're not happy."

APPLICATIONS ACCEPTED for �AD OPTION of CHILDREN 4-16 years old There aremany childrexi from 4 to 16 years of age, who are ready to be adopted. Homes are needed for these children now. Because of their age, religion, racial origin or a physical handicap, homes are not easy to find. Security for these children will come from a permanent home. This program does not apply to infants, since the demand for them far exceeds the nutter ofinfants available for adoption. If you are a married copple interested in applying for the adoption of an older or handicapped child, you should be under 45 years of age. You must be in good health and financially capable of caring for the child's future. Your personal character, homemaking ability and capacity to meet the needs of a child requiring Special care are important factors in the placement of these children. • Applications for adoption of the follow- ing children—and other older or handicapped children—should be directed to the Minister of Public Welfare, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, Ontario. Typical of the children seeking permanent adoption homes: • A pretty little blonde Protestant girl who is 4 years old. She needs a good home and patient, understanding parents . . because she is a litiiionic and must wear a brace on °"" ",. ". leg. Fortunately, her chances of someday walking without a brace are promising. But she has to attend a therapy class every week, so she must be in a home near a clinic. This little girl's greatest need now is for love and affection as part of a permanent family. • Two good-looking brothers who,are 8 and 9 years old. They are Roman Catholic, able to speak both English and French: Both boys have brown hair and eyes . with bright personalities to match their healthy physiques. They need a good, permanent home where they can be accepted together as part of the family v Your Local Children's Aid Society devotes its time and energy to serving the inter- ests of children and your community.
