In years gone by, the young fa raper hitched., tip. his team and wagon, grabbed a shovel, and earn- ed a considerable sum of money doing road work between seeding and haying. Trucks came along, took over the hauling of gravel, and farmers lost some cash. No "protective association" was form- ed.

Reason is that he doesn't know what he's talking about. * * * ,• Mr. Tumpane has a trenchant style and a vigourous vocabulary that are admirable, ordinarily, when he is an a subject of which he has some knowledge., But every so often, he mounts a horse of a different colour, lowers his visor so nothing will distract him, and gallops off the deep end. * * * Vyhen this happens, as one who ha had much experience in clamb- ering out of similar abysses of ignorance, I feel it is only my duty to throw him something to cling to. Like a harpoon, maybe. * .* * In this particular column, Mr. Tumpane, wielding his prose like a sabre, lays about him at the people who claim they have seen a flying saucer. "Crackpotst" he calls them. "Cultists!" ' he cries. "Mumbo - jumbo!" he mutters. "Hallucin- ations!" he hoots. * * * Never mind, fellow cultists, bro- ther crackpots. Galileo was tortur- ed for trying to reveal the truth. Darwin was the object of hatred and abuse. They laughted at Alex- ander Graham Bell when he sat down at the telephone (little know- ing they'd be paying a dime for one lousy call in 50 years). So I guess we can face the slings and arrows of outrageous columnists. * * * Tumpane is like the farmers who snorted: "Danged thing's just a fad!"' when the' first Model -T went by in a cloud of dust and trans- , formed quiet old Nell into a buck- ing bronco.

Sad part of it is that, while he was wrttipg that iconoclastic col- umn; a little mail in a flying saucer two miles above him was probably reading it through the roof, with his super -sonic vision, and marking brother Tup-ipane down as one of the first to be purged, when they finally decide they can't stand the foolishness of the earthlings any longer, and land. r *� * * • Personally, I have never seen a flying saucer, but then I 'have never met the devil in person, nor have I been present when a miracle took place, Which does not give me the feeling that I should be- labour with epithets like "crack- pot" anyone who has experienced such manifestations. *. * * As constant readers of this col- umn know, I never prevaricate nor exaggerate. As. they also know, I had a bad scare one night this winter. A small, naked fellow, all green, with something mightily resembling a'stalk of celery grow- ing out of his navel, suddenly ap- peared in my livingroom. After a -bitter denunciation of our society, he vanished.` * * '* I Fjon't say he came in a flying saucer. But I was up on the roof the other day, to see why it was leaking. I found out. There was a big burn on the shingles, right through in spots. About, 12 feet across, it was, and in a circle. * * * I'll be glad to show it to you, Mr. Tumpane. All you have to do is repeat the password. This: week it's "New 'fissures on the moon." t You've got to have faith, Frank, my boy. You'll never catch a fish in your septic tank, unless you give it a try. And definitely, you'll never see a flying saucer with yopr head buried in the sand. - POST OFFICE HOURS On Good Friday, wickets at the Godetich Post Office will be open from 1 to 3 p.m. The lobby will be open from- 8- a:m� -to R p.m. 'There- will' -be no money 'order Or 1.saving bank business done and there will be no rural mail de- livery. -- Oil aster Monday, the wickets will be open from 1 to 5 p.m. During these hours, all business Will be done as usual.

Sure they, woiuld like to have a garden Out they MO it would u ake too muchi' e from,, golf or fishing. ,That may be all alibi but it is not ai good one. Actually the big advantage of gardening is that we can devote as much or as little time to it as we like. We can get excellent results from just a few minutes spent in pleasant exercise each day, or if we pre . very much inter- ested, we can 'spend every waking hour puttering. For the person just starting and the one that can- not or doesn't want to, spend too much time, the trick is t0 have a big lawn and a small flower and vegetable garden. If we want more fun and exercise, we simply cut down a littleon the lawn, add more plots of Mowers, more rows of vegetables. And if we want to extend. activities` still more, then we add new varieties and different flowers and vegetables, we try to have something in bloom all the time from early spring to late fall, and some vegetables or greenjust at their best ever -the same period. Without adding a square 'yard to our lot -we can extend gardening operations indefinitely. But above all we should remember that gard- ening is, or should be, fun and recreation, not a chore and a burden. Cost Flexible, Too. And the cost of gardening is flexible too. For just a few dollars worth of tools and a few. cents worth of seeds there is a wide range -of flowers and vegetables that one can' grow almost any- where in Canada. But if one wants to make gardening a major hobby. then there is ample room for ex- tension. There are more tools we can buy and special tools, and ' there are, 'power tools. There is hardly any limit to the variety of flowers, vegetables and shrubbery one can grow. There are specialities too,•, for the advanced gardener, things like rock gardens, pool gardens, bird sanctuaries, gardens or plots devoted to one special color, gardens for scent and for frag- rance. Picture Record Now that colored photograph is so popular, many people make regular records - of their gardens, especially of flowers and shrubs in bloom. These add greatly to in- terest and enjoyment. • It is very pleasant, when snow is falling outside and the mercury is down around zero, to sit and watch on the screen pictures of the garden a few months before and see what it will be like again. There is practical value as well. these garden pictures of spring, summer and fall, we see what progress has been made at' certain dates, in adding new colors, spreading out bloom and in the general progress of our landscap- ing.

Like the flies with DDT, some weeds, or more' likely new strains of weeds, seem to have developed an im Q. Is it safe to use cold wave solutions in giving b child a permanent? A. Yes, if used according to the manufacturer's directions. Cold wave 'solutions make the hair stretchy and flexible. While it is 'in this relaxed state it is put under tension or pull by wrapping it around curlers. Children's hair is finer and less "springy" than grownups and at best, diffi- cult to curl.
