Rector's Holiday Did the man who placed an ad- vertisement in the window of a Glasgow newsagent really mean what he said when he wrote: "Settee for sale by lady with nice upholstery and Queen Anne legs?" The English language is spat- tered with pitfalls for those who do not walk warily. Words plac- ed in the wrong order, or the ad- dition or ommission of commas, make all the difference in the world. In a written statement a young army recruit set down: "The sergeant, said the gunner, was a liar." What he really meant was, "The sergeant said the gunner was a liar." No won- der the sergeant was peeved. Highly educated people rnake such errors, and churchgoers were astonished when they read in a parish magazine that "A11 people who have missionary box- es are requested to hand them in at once as the rector wants to go away for his holidays." Surely the rector didn't meal. what he wrote. You eau make candle; last twice as long by giving them a coat of clear varnish. They'll not only burn longer but the finish keeps the wax from dripping.

Sone Strange Gifts For Mi•, Churchill Shortly before l.a etecael 1325 recent holiday. Mr. Churchill re- ceived a quantity of coffee from cm admirer. This was not intend- ed to keep him awake, for a more wideawalce premier we have never had, Mr. Churchill at once sent the gift to Soho, that it might be blended to his partici- lar taste by his favoured coffee merchant, Recentlee the Prime Minister has also had gifts of oysters and salmon—and a pair 01 swans. The birds were not. to be considered as foodstuffs, how- av0r, but to decorate the pool in the grounds at Chartwell. Mr, Churchill's liking for ec- c'en'(ric hats is well known, Two American , admirers have added. to his collection. One gave him a military cap once worn by Prince von Bismarck, the "Iron Chancellor," who, seventy years before Hitler, crushed France and created the German Empire. Another was a very different type of headgear—a "Shriner's hat,' The Shriners are members of one of those benevolent secret societies who make a practice of dressing : up in eye -attracting clothes and parading the streets. Besides comforts for the inner man, the Premier's "fans" have -not been slow in providing him with glove ties, and scarves— not to incise tion socks. As the steeest3ten probably does not feel .completely dressed with- out a cigar, one enthusiast sent him five thousand prime Havan- a , while another supplemented these with a set of corn - cob pipes. Two bottles of Napolion brandy were a thoughtful gilt to go with the cigars, Other gifts were less commonplace. Let us consider some of the more nut - of -the -way. What, for instance, was the big idea behind the presentation of a framed list of United States presidents? Or a copy of George Washington's Will? All the way from Ohio came a painting ot the great seal of that go-ahead State, and from another a set of Indian arrowheads. More homely was the turkey's wishbone, re- calling the Victory sign, and a carton of skin lotion—not that the hardy old warrior is so thin- skinned as to need anything of that kind. Knowing Mr. Churchill's liter- ary tastes, some admirers sent him books, including a law book, a teatise on navigation, and a copy of The Book of Mormon. But the favoured recipient has not yet fathomed the motive be- hind the offer of an autographed photograph of Jack Dempsey! Warm! Gay!

At 5:45 one morning last week,. with the wind bowling like an angry monster, we were prowl- ing around in the dark feeling for the flashlight, hunting 'match- es and candles, wondering if there was enough fire in the range to boil the kettle, How long was the power likely to be ori' , , . would the milking have to be done by hand ... was there enbugh oil in the lantern to last until daylight? The kitchen fire was still alight but, having being banked heavily e because of the wind, it required considerable coaxing to get it go- ing again. After about twenty minutes we did manage to boil enough water to make a cup of tea. Then Partner made tracks for the barn — with a milking machine as useless as a' headless axe. But of course, you never can tell about hydro—it might be off several hours, or it might be only a matter of minutes, so one naturally hopes for 'the best. One hour, two hours, three hours went by — and still no hydro. The cows were milked by hand—with the help of one of our visitors. Two heifers, thee had never been milked any other way than by machine didn't like the change at all, When the milking was done, and lights and power no longer urgently need- ed, then of course the break was fixed and service restored. We don't know what caused the in- terruption but we were certainly thankful it was no worse. The way the wind was blowing any- thing could have happened. And then the weather turned cold and Partner said—"I told you, so!". That was because he had said we should have the storm -door windows put on. But I didn't want them on. It was such a job trying to keep the house cool in mild weather but having the doors open and let- ting the fresh air blow in through the screens helped considerably. So, when the air became a little too fresh what right had I com- plain? None at all—naturally— but I complained just the same. And that was when Partner said --"Well, I told you so!" On the second day of our sud- den winter one of our neighbours phonal—could they borrow our electric heater, their old space heater wouldn't work and they couldn't get, hold of anyone to Iix it -- incidentally it was less bran 0 year old, One repair pian said he worked on oil furnaces but not an heaters! How Inde. pendent con a repair man get? J.nd how dependent can WE get with so much of aur farm and household equipment run by electricity? Hydra power light- en;, work and increases our com- fort but when it breaks down there are times when we won- der if the game is worth the can- dlee-.wouldn't we be better off without these so.called canveni- enees that.. are frequently the eause of considerable ' inconveni- ence? Brave thoughts ----hut when the ,hydro comes on again, then it is our will -power that breaks dov.'n. We flip on the lights with gladness, we cart t h e milker around as if 11 weighed only ten pounds, and we say to ourselves .--,-"Do without hydro :.. what a crazy idea!" Do you know what? I was thinking the other day how nice it would be if we humans had as much instinct as animals, then no one would get caught in storms and blizzards. Several times, during the last ten days, Partner has not liked the look of the weather and has tried to drive into the barnyard, two lit- tle heifers that have lately had the run of the farm. But do you think they would go in? Not a bit of it. Then Partner would say impatiently—"All right, stay out if you want to—later on you may wish you hadn't." So the heifers stayed out and the next morning they would still be quite happy and roaming the fields. But the other night—the even- ing before the windstorm — the heifers came up to the barn of their own accord and almost asked to be let in. They knew it was going to be a rough night. Sure, cattle take heed of the weather but we who have "brains" to help us make deci- sions, we get into our cars and go places, no matter what the weather. So, in winter -time peo- ple get caught he blizzards; cars are abandoned on blocked roads; - passengers get chills, frostbite ,and suffer other inconveniences just because they were set on going to a dance, a card party, or some other form of social enter- tainment. And it isn't always the young folk either.

Even so, few people know•. that the soup is made from fuss:, flesh of only one species Ot • turtle --caught off the islands ot a Jamica ' and Trinidad' though the breed is found in other wa- ters as well. They are known as "green" or edible turtles and when fully mrlttu'e measure seven feet in length and weigh more than 800 ib. But the flesh of these mon- sters is coarse and tough and no turtle weighing more than 200 the. is ever sent to London for the banquet, This massive reptile has a meagre intelligence and little power of reasoning. She lays her eggs not in the sea where she lives, but on dry land, waddling a considerable distance up the beach to do so. tier dim intelli- gence tells her that the tracks she' makes will give her away, so she invariably wanders about fust to confuse her enemies, then makes a nest soveial hundred Yards from her point of entry from the sea. After laying her eggs she again wanders about, obliterating all tracks, and enters the sea some distance from the nest, This duty accomplished, she forgoes all ma- ternal responsibility and forgets about her progeny. When they are hatched some. instinct makes them head straight for the sea, where more than half of them are devoured by large crabs and other creatures that prey on young turtles, Men who hunt the turtle wait until she has deposited her eggs, then intercept her on the way home, turn her over to render her helpless and drag her off to be killed or chop off her head at once. Large turtles are nearly always killed soon after cap- ture. The most succulent turtles are caught in the sea. Fishermen use a live remora fish as bait, for the remora is attracted mainly by large smooth objects to which it clamps itself. A line is attached firmly to the tail of the fish, which heads straight for the nearest turtle and fixes itself firmly to the undersheiL Those in the boat have little trouble in hauling it in and, with the as- sistance of one or two natives who plunge into the water, the turtle is dragged aboard. Turtles for the Lord Mayor's. Banquet are not killed in the West Indies, but sent alive to London. They are kept in warm sea water and fed on small fish, but are very bad sailors and more than half die on the way over. That is why turtle soup, which can be had for a penny a plate in Jamaica, costs so much in London. "The bravest man I ever knew?" said the explorer. "He was the chap who took a taxi to the Bankruptcy Court and invit- ed the driver in as a creditor."
