HRONICLES ria r, ,.._ n r-•., , t,n The last few days our farm has looked like a real farm—or rath- er the way we used to thirds a real farm should look twenty or thirty years ago. It was six red hens that made the difference six quite ordinary New Hainp shire hens. These biddies were ail that remained of a pen of tat hens we were selling for boiling fowl. We kept a .few back for ourselves but somehow the didn't get them kilted. Early last week, when the stns was warm and bright, I took pity on our six hens and let them out of the pen, To be perfectly honest 1 don't know whether I let the hens louse for their sakes or •res own. But I do know I felt a thrill 01 satisfaction as I watched the hens scuttling around outside—flying, running, singing --so delighted were they to be free with all out- doors to scratch around in: Mit- chie-White thought it was lots of 100 too and started chasing the hens. Honey wasn't t quite sure whether that was allowed or not and stood anxiously by, waiting instructions from me. 01 course, having once tasted the joys o1' freedom, the hens were crowd - Ina around the doer -next morn- ing waiting to 00100 1,111. out they cause_ Later that. morn- ing I heard a bit of commotion and saw_thedens running around with outspread wings, but, sint'e Mitchie-White was quietly sleep- ing I came to the conclusion the hens were just enjoying then- selves, We had reason to think diifercntic•that night as one hen was missing. Tonight, two more were gone. Partner is quite. sure we have a lox to thank for 0110 loss. Ther; is a bush just tiro fields away so a lox could quite easily follow the thicket fence and slink over to the pen without our seeing him, Now my country idyll has lost much of its charm, Apparently the old picturesque way, with hens c•outentedl;, picking here and there, as nature iutencled they should, is not to be, To survive the hens must be confined; since lift v. ith 1'.1 ecdnn, ,'u often brings sudden death. But I wonder what roil.titutrs a hen': philosap11y of. lite Would it be for a short life and a merry one, or for a carr - fully guarded well-fed existence? Whatever choice our hens might .grake we certainly don't intend to provide food tor foxes—os probably e viscn With pup* In feed.

Three days of high wind is mit eeaetly pleasant. especially when it leaves 11,0 fields and fences lit- tered tolth paper and other junk blown error irons the highway, You 'would wonder where it all comes Irma, But the litter that blows across the- fields is as noth- iug compiled with what towns and cities have to cootertd with, In - Toronto lass Friday t -satire from the Medical Arts on to BIoor' acid the street was alive with wind-blown papers, It was garbage day. Some containers had been bowled over by the wind se that besides air -borne rubbish, cartons and such like were being swirled around on the pavement, with a few hats added for good measure, If, was a ISSUE. tri — 1968 a pretty rough day for ordinary people. and yet, getting off one street -ear that 1 was on, there was an elderly lady, unattended, carrying a white cane. She was attempting to change cars at et busy mtersectlon. The conductor left his seat to help her off the car and was going to- take her across 'the road when someone on the street came forward and offered to take charge of her. Truly, blind or otherwise handi- capped persons, often put to shame those of us who are in full' possession of our faculties. But it is heart-warming to see how quickly strangers come to the aid of those who need assistance. This Morning we have one daf- fodil in htoom—a forerunner 'of many more to conte. There are literally hundreds of buds in the garden so it loops like a good year for spring flowers.. It is a wonderful time for country ing, Sometimes 1 wonder why anyone lives anywhere other than the country. It isn't always cir'- eumstances that keeps people in towns and cities. Somstames it is lack of courage, fear of the unknown. Friends of ours in Tor- onto's Moore Park district must move. The man of the house, a re- tired business man, would prefer the country' his wife and daught- er cannot visualize an existence away from the city, especially as Ann wilt be going to Univers- ity next fall. So they have bought a house away out on Wilson - Avenue. 1.f will take them just as long to reach the city from there as it would from our place --hacl they done as we wanted them to do—built a nice tittle house on the. corner of Ginger Farm, But there it is—no two people can see alike --so we can- not truly say what is best for anyone else to dei. TALL TALCS Herb Shriner, -a television comic in the Will Rogers tradition, ob- serves, "A man will soon be able to get clear around the world in two hours: one hour for flying, and the other to get out to the airport:' We didn't need a plane in Kansas one day last summer; he adds. "Wind blew so bard it got a hen turned clear around the wrong way. Before 11 could get straightened out and headed into the wind again, it laid the same egg six times!" Woman's Part In Chemical Advances Wulnttri have alwaye played a' decisive part in the chemical ht- dustr'y although they may not realise' it, according to loaders in the industry. Woolen's demand Tor white cotton and linen fab- rics brought about the birth of Cit e modern chemical industry early in the last century That dates from the first mmnuaeture of bleaching powder in Glasgow and the first production of soda in Liverpool in 1822, Before these ehcoticals were produced, fabrics had to be bleached by souring who ashes and exposure to sunlight f o r weeks at a time. Increased out- put of textiles made it imposse ible to spread thein all out in the fields for such time-consum- ing treeltment but the social prestige oI' white garments and linens remained strong. Chemists believe that if the upkeep of cottons and unties had been loft to Wren, dark -colored sheets and shirts would have b e e t1 the fashion. Therefore, they point out, feminine prefer- ence brought about the manufac- ture of bleaching chemicals which comprised the nueteus of the heavy chemical economy of England Tor many years. Of course, white did not pee - dominate the textile field in those days. A limited number of vegetable and mineral com- pounds were used for dyeing but many were too expensive for general use. Chemists say thy+ discovery of coal -tar dyestuffs in 1869 provided relief for the pent- up desire for more colorful tex- tiles, "especially among the wo- men. The organic chemicals industry of today has been Molt .wound the dyestuffs industry. Profits from dyestuffs manufacture were used for expansion into medi- cinal and plastic chemicals. Here again, 111e chemists point out, the growth and expansion was not due solely to the ingenuity of chemists in making new cam- • pounds but to the desire and the demand' on the part of wo- men for new variety in color. Cu -the satae way, they declare, the pressure of consumer de- mand for new fabrics brought chemistry to the age of synthet- ics. A silk -weaving company, finding its market limited be- cause of the cost of its product, began the chemical research Swimmer—Fluffing out her hair after a quick swim at Daytona Beach, pretty Barbara Denni- son dries off under the bright sun.

Following consumer at.provai of rayon, the eltetnicat industry was stimulated to produce other things. "Cellophane" cellulose 11hn is ohmic:ally on off -shoot of rayon. It was invetfted during an attempt to melt• waterproof tablecloths, Anothet example' of the influ- ence of latent consumer demand on research and development is provided by the textile industry. Nylon was discovered by aeei- dent. Researchers were not look- ing for a new textile fibre, but merely studying the properties of resin, The plastie they found with the fibre -forming qualities and exceptional strength spurred the expenditure of millions of dollars on further research. The reason they were so excited about the strength of their dis- covery was the need for a strong fibre in the women's hosiery field. • Jest. 1,e the proceeds from dye- stuffs helped found 111e pharma- ceutical and organic chemicals industries, the' advent of the automobile in this century pro- vided far-reaching stimulus to the industry. The manufacture of the average' car involves, dir- ectly or indirectly, 258 chemi- cal materials. Chemicals made possible the welding process which resulted in mass -produc- tion of cars. The need fm gas- oline brought about other by- products of crude oil which re- sulted in nineties, synthetic de- tergents, tubbing alcohol a n d paint solvents.
