sonally. The receptionist said as
•she handed -me my usual handful
of mail, "no one in this hospital
has ever received mail like this."
While everyone so kindly expres-
sed their sympathy for me, I can
honestly say, 'although it was the
most uncomfortable time of my
life,. lying on a hard sand bag, and
being harnessed so tight I could
hardly breathe, yet it was also one
of the most, interesting. I have
often wondered what it would be
like to be, in one. of those car
crashes we read about. Now I
know. •
My husband and I make it a
habit of committing ourselves •to
God as we- clrive, and as we were
spinning on -that Wet pavement 'I
put myself once More in God's
care, and though we crashed a
tree, none of us was seriously
hurt, and the back of the big car
where I was sitting was • telescoped
into the front. I experienced no
feeling 62 shock or fear and walk-
ed to the ambulance without
thinking to look back I knew
that I had a broken collar bone,
but that didn't seem • to me ser -
ions.
Life is certainly not dull in a
semi -private ward- in a northern
hospital, I observed patients go
through four major operations and
yon can't help suffering with them.
It was a constant moving picture
—every five minutes somebody
different came through the docat
A steady stream of doctors, nur-
ses, nurses' aides, ministers, visit-
ors, patient's own relatives, clean-
ing women and girls. One old wo-
man in particular who wore a
yellow ribbon around her head
amtised me. She seemed to carry
the responsibility of the yvhole hos-
pital on her shoulders, and would
peer at each of us in turn with
such a mournful expression as
though viewing a corpse.
It was a veritable United Na-
tions as most of my nurses were
just out from the Old Land. My
first nurse was colored, born in
Jamaica, trained in Scotland, with
such a beautiful voice and lovely
Scotch accent. She brought sun-
shine every time she entered the
room. It was a real test for our
Canadian nurses and patients to
be tolerant of all these different
personalities. The English nurses,
who had been through war exper-
iences, were very capable but you
got little sympathy, and they went
like the wind; the Irish were true
little Blarneys, easy going and
glib of tongue; the Scotch with
their beautiful rosy complexions,
were tops with me, being of Scotch
descent myself, and dee of my
specials waited on me the very

Goderiell Lawyer Receives
4ppointaMitt as Notary Public,
According to the latest ssue of
The Ontario Gazette, James 11ifich-
Goderich, has been appointed a
Notary ' Public: '
day she'came 'off the boat straight
from near .the home-ofmy grand-
father in Aberdeen.
One of the patients in our ward
was a Dutch woman and it was
very amusing to hear her try to
express herself, When the doctor
would ask her about her appetite,
she would say, "Oh, I ate a whole
lot little soup. Then a nurse
would come in and say something
to her which she would misunder-
stand and she would burst out cry-
ing and not be pacified until they
would bring up a Dutch nurse and
their tongues would fly for awhile
in. their native tongue and all
would be serene once more. I
thought, no wonder the nations of
the world can't understand each
other.
One of the funniest little epi-
sodes was when one day one of
our English nurses brought us in
a bouquet of lilies someone had
sent. She had a horrified expres-
sion on her face and said, "You
know, this is never done in Eng-
land." I said, "Why, they are
lovely." She looked at me as
much as to say,, "do yon really
want them?" They have a super-
stition in England that lilies in a
hospital are a sure sign of death.
We had a lot of fun wondering
which of us was going to die, I
suggested to one of the husbands
visiting that he put a lily in each
of our hands and call in the said
nurse. We had a lot of fun and
made a lot of lovely friends.
Suffering seems to „play an im-
portant role in life. .As our head
nurse confessed, "I'm a better
nurse since I had an operation. I
know now What it feels like to
have a bed jarred." And it calls
some of us aside for a needed' rest,

the search is almost in vain for
distinctive souvenirs well made by
Canadians in Canada.
There is one small store where
one can purchase tablecloths made

and even some original paintings
of the Rockies. But most of the
stock on the laden shelves of other
stores is trash. Once one could

lovely carvings made by the Ind-
ians of Alberta, but the commer-

tities has deprived the Indians of

it has destroyed the craftsman's
pride in his work.

I do not know if Princess Louise
ever saw her namesake, but she
must have been proud when the
railway engineers named the lake
after her, She was the fourth"
daughter of Queen Victoria (whose
name honors the world's greatest
waterfall) and the wife of the
Marquis of Lorne (the Duke of
Argyll). Through association of
thought one can conjure up quite
a bit of Canadian history by re-
calling Argyll. It was he who
had the great quarrel with Sir
John A. Macdonald when he was
Canada's governor-general (1873-
83) but who was eventually the
first to approve that Canada
should be consulted before the ap-
pointment of governors-general.
(Many people are prone to con-
fuse Princess Louise with the
Princess Patricia, the latter being
REDUCES FLY POPULATION 95% IN 4 HOURS
Florbait Ely Killer is a completely hew
method of fly control for farm buildings.
It is already being acclaimed as the most
effective means of killing flies yet develop-
ed.
Florbalt has been proven to be effective
against flies that are highly resistant to
all the chlorinated hydrocarbons (DDT,
lindane, methoxychlor).
It is exceptionally easy to ase. Simply
punch out the holes in the "shaker top"
can and sift lightly' on floors and other
places where flies feed and rest. In the
average barn this sifting takes 2 or 3
minutes a day for the first Week or two
and 8 to 10 minutes a week thereafter.

FLORBAIT
Florbait is a powder thal contains •
a powerful attractant called TraLuax.
Flies are attracted to it and feed readily on it.
They start to die -10 to 20 minutes after
FLORBAIT is applied and within 4 hours the fly ,
population is reduced 90 to 97 pen cent.
•
HIGHLY IEPFECTIVE AGAINST
Florbait gives positive control in dairy and
stock barns and milk houses' ,It can be
effectively used in poultry houses, turkey
funs and rin manure piles. When used as
directed Florbait will not injure livestock
Or poultry.
The amount required depends on the fly
population. The flies must eat it M die.
-Usually 3 to E ounces or less a day for
tho first week or two is sufficient.
When conditions favour exceptionally
heavy fly breeding, more FLORBAIT must
be used. Heavily littered or dirt floors
and manure piles require heavier applica-
tions.
When fly breeding has been reduced to a
low level by repeated treatments (usbally
1 to 2 weeks) applications may be reduced
to 2 or 3 times weekly. Continual ap-
plication effectively controls the fly popula-
tion.
Florbait Killer is packaged, ready to
use, in a special sifter can. No costly
equipment is necessary.

Jasper, the town with the hist-
oric totem pole on the CNR sta-
tion platform, is a paradise. I
stayed with a friend in his new
log house—an enviable structure
with bear rugs and mountain lion
skins on the floors—beside a small
lake just outside the town. The
government owns all the land, and
residents only rent it (for a few
dollars a year), but the town coun-
cil is a community affair.
Animals roasn uninhibited in
Jasper, and marauding elk make
it impossible to keep a vegetable
garden unless it is fenced in. The
elk, and sometimes the deer, are
often a nuisance as they get into
the garbage pails.
Last year, one of these magnif-
icent animals prowled about the
town for -months with a tin can
caught on his lower lip. Humane
officials finally had to shoot him
lest he should starve to death.
2,000 Idle Acres
Now Farmed By
Dutch Immigrants;
Nearly 2,000 acres of idle farm
lands are now under cultivation by
the Dutch immigrants who have
settled in Southwestern Ontario",
according to L. M. Hunter, immi-
gration settlements officer.
There is a continued trend by
the Dutch folk towards the crop-
ping extensively of five to 15
acres, and Mr. Hunter says there

Mr. Hunter states that Dutch
immigrants have begun settling in
North Huron, Perth,. Grey "and
Bruce Counties, where vacant land
is still available. He says that
farms in the southern counties are
now only available when the own-
ers retire, die, .ior change their
vocations.
The idle land now Under cultiva-
tion were brought into use during
the three or four years after all-
out immigration began in 1949.
About 180 pasture farms or idle
farms, averaging an estimated 100
acres, were purchased'and settled.
Some 1,200 families of 4,000 Dutch
immigrant families bought their
farms in the first three years—

Three Kinds Of
Anglers MAke
Up Fishing Public
One-third of Ontario's fishermen
are novices vim catch few fisb but
have a Mt of fun, says Russ Whit-
field, Ontario Depsartnient of
Lands arid Forests biologist. He
divides anglers into three greitias:
The skilled angler who .gets a lot
of fish but doesn't enjoy the sport
half•as much as he thinks he does,
"We ean spot this one a mile
away. He comes into a tourist re-
sort with a determined look,
leaves a call for 6.00 am, ignores
a suggested shore lunch and set-
tles, instead, fox' a bit of lard, a
frying pan and salt and pepper.
He usually comes home late at
night with a creel full of fish,"
The intermediate fisherman.
"Wary Of the ways of they
know that speckled trout cannot
be found in shallow waters during
the hot season, They know their
lakes and where the better fishing
holes are. They seek out their
deep pools and get their fish."
The novices; without them there
just wouldn't be , any fishing.
"These patient worm dunkers are
not too choosy. They will fish off
any bridge or dock There may
be only two feet of water and they
can see every rock and weed on
the bottom—but they sit placidly
and -bake in the sun. They may
net catch any fish but they don't
worry- too much about it. They
are having a good time and enj(iy-
ing nature at its best. Thanks be
that this third category represents
more than two-thirds of the Izaak
