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!

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.
