CHRONICLES
By
of GINGER FARM•
, wen.otin + P. Clarke
It is said that we 'should count
that day as lost on which we
learn- nothing new.
Well, ldst Wednesday I learnt
plenty—but to say I was scared
in the process is to put it mildly.
You see I set out to-do another
big washing—with my electric
washer, you understand. The first
time I used it Daughter was
helping me but on Wednesday I
went at it 'alone, Everything went
fine at first. I started the motor .
and left the gyrator to do the
work while I fed the chickens;
thinking how marvellous it wds
• to be abile to do two jobs at one
bore—and with such ease. On my
return there were the towels and
things all ready to rinse. But
then my troubles began.
.didn't get my fingers in
the wringer ,`.. I had had enough
warnings about that.., but no one
had warned me how a loose thread
or a fringed 'edge can result in
towels twisting themselves around
,the wringer worse than anything •
.I ever saw. In my ignorance I saw
no 'reason` wily the cotton bags I
was rinsing shouldn't, drop down
on the other side of the wringer
unassisted. So I went merrily on,
feeding bags and towels to the
Wringer without paying much at-
tention to what- they were doing.
f was too busy diving for the next
one to put through. Suddenly I
noticed the rollers well padded.
I knew very well, what .I
was 'supposed to do -release the
rollers—but before. 1 could do it
something happened—and the
wringer stopped, working. I think
my heart atopPed too -or . if It
didn't it was somewhere up In
my mouth. "What have,. you done
:: ,what kind of a , stupid •fool
ire, you?" I asked 'myself. You
see I really thought I had' brok-
en something. however I sprung
the release and then 2 suddenly
realised that not only the wringer,
but the motor had ' stopped. I
tried to remember all the things
I had over heard' about what to
do when a fuse 'blows out because
by this time it had dawned on me
that that , was what had really
happened. ,
didn't want to bother the men
because they were still at the barn,
milking„ , So I. !vent. ,down. eel ar
and tried to figure things out for
myself.
",Shut off the power," I ex-.
perimented, with ' that Idea until
I was certain I had it right. And
glad I was It was daylight so
that what I was doing didn't make
itself felt' at' the bare!
"'Remove" ' 'lnirnt ` out fuse—re-
place 'with a new ene." Yes, but
which fuse f There .were. six of
them. I studied the direction of
the wires .In " my; int ssVs eye I
connected `them with ti " fuse to
whieht"l*9though't, they. llelonaed,
Deckled which was wlsieh, put is
new fuse, 'turned on the •power,
carne upstairs, • puggedy in, the
washer—and 'presto; • away ' she
went. The towels and 'bags were
finally untangled .and in about
twenty minutes my heart beat
had returned to normal'. But what •,
a lot I learned in half an hour,
Experience is a good teacher. In-
cidentally, had I examined the
fuse niore closely I 'would have
seen that the burnt out one had
turned black in the centre so
I need not have worried about
which was the one to replace.
But that, of course, was something
else I didn't' knew.
* • •
02 course we . are right into the
haying -:and it was such good
drying weather nipst of last week.,
Towards' the end of the week we
had more hay ready for the barn
than Partner and' young - John
could handle alone—that is if they
were to get it in before rain came
again. So we' asked our local 'Rep'
for a Farm Commando, The man
who ,came was strong,. willing_and
knew' whathe was 'doing, so' the
men got along fine=that la, until
five o'clock When rain put -an end
to haying for that day,
Before he went 'our Commando
remarked—"You,don't know What
those two hoe -cooked meals
have, meant to ine, Mrs. Clarke.
I livin restaurants all the time
and I'ni telling you, you people
in the country have no idea ,what
that really means and how sick
and tired we get of it al)."
I thought it was very « nice of
the fellow to voice his apprecia
tion :that ,way. He could easily
have talten all for granted.

Used Military Trucks
Available To Farmers
The Canadian Federation of Ag-
riculture had completed negotia-
tions with the War Assets .Corp-
oration whereby used military
trucks' will be made .available to
Ontario farmers, it was announced
by Y, S. Milburn, Ontario secre-
tary,
"These trucks are not standard
equipment but have been built for
..war work," Mr. Milburn said.
"They will.have to be purchased
as they stand and the farmer is
warned that repairs are not avail-
able. for the. present at least,"
He said a survey will be 'con-
ducted by County Peeeretion sec-
retaries to discover how many
trucks are needed in various dig..
triers:
"The federation is eedeavoring
to learn if the farmer will use
these• military trucks if he can
. secure then at a price that is in
right relationship to the service
that they can .render in the food
production program."
That government is the strongest
of which every mein feels himself
a part.
