car of course, or as we did it, a
low-flying, gameviewing air-
craft. At the Victoria Falls, along
miles of scenic drives and splen-
did- views, dominated by the
white and towering cloud of
spray, the visitor will share with
David Livingstone the thought
that "scenes so lovely must have
been gazed upon by angels in
their flight".
But we must continue on. Let
the tell you, there are few experi-
ences more thrilling and stirring
than the sight of big game roam-
ing freely on the African veld: a
pride of lions deployed for the
hunt; graceful impala with soft
eyes and glistening coats; a thou-
sand or'more buffalo dustily and
heavily crossing your path (and,
believe you me you give them the
right-of-way) ; comical warthogs
trotting with their tails prepost-
erously vertical; sable antelope
in heraldic poses; an elephant
shaking the curly pods down from,
a winter, thorn tree; a family 01
giraffe seesawing along,in a can-
ter. And it is only in Africa south
of the Sahara, in the great wild-
life sanctuaries of the sub -conti-
nent, that scenes such as these
can be enjoyed.

the north-western part of the
country, just south of the Victoria
Falls, is the special goal of visa-,

Aa, part of its application to
the CTC, Bell is asking'
approval of a five-year plan —
to go into effect in 1974 — to
.make four -party service the new
standard in rural areas. As
many as 10 customers share a
line in some rural areas today.
Multi-party service would not
be offered to new customers in
these areas. Increases in 1974
for residence c.storners, which
-woulii' range 'from 95 cents to
$'1 65 a month, would depend on
the nufnber Qf telephones in the
exchange's local calling area.
Under this plan, only single
and two-party Service would be
available in' build-up areas of
an exchange outside the main
urban centre. Commuted
mileage .charges would be
eliminated. for these. customers.
Customers - living in rural
areas, who have single arnd two-
party service do • pay 'mileage
charges, based on quarter -mile
units, in, addition to their basic -
rate„
Mileage charges would go up
in both 1973. and 1974,. andun-
der this plan they would be'
computed in half -mile units
beginning in 1974.
Monthly increases' would
depend on. the distance the
customer is from the urban part
,of the exchange. Eighty-five per-
cent of Bell customers affected
by this art of the plan live
. p..
within `twot mitres of their* ex=
change's main urban centre.
Increases for them would
range from $1.30 to $5.60 a
month, beginning in 1974.
Maximum increase under this
plan would be $10.60 a month.

2. When the pots are filled
with roots, bring them into sub-
dued light at a temperature of
-5p° for '2 or 3 weeks to develop
top growth and accustom them-
selves to light. Then move them
into full light, but not strong
sunlight, at 60°, . Too much heat
or too early forcing may ruin
flower buds.
If you want to force a large
number of bulbs, place the pots
in a trench in the garden for the
cooling stage. Cover them with a
layer of leaves and sand to
make them • easier to remove
when you want them. It is also a
good idea to cover the trench
with wire . mesh to pxeyent
hungry mice from damaging the
bulbs.
To prolong the flowering
period, bring plants' out of cool
storage in succession.

winter days. Daffodils, narcissus
and hyacinths are the- most
popular ones' to force into
,`bloom. It's an easy process to
grow bulbs this way if you
remember to' prepare, them
properly. This means providing
,cond-itions similar to those they
are used to outdoors, but over a
shorter period of time, says R.F.
Gomme, horticultural specialist,
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food.

they need at least a couple of
months cold temperature. Fill 5
