A Fondl Farewell
To The Small Boy
Every eo often we heave a long
sigh.. for the passing of sorne in-
stitution or individual fondly iden-
tified with "the good, old days."
We 'mourn the vanished quilting
beet and the Little Red School-
house, the noble hbrseard the old-
time vaudeville. It is about time, .
then, that some one paid tribute to
that little-eoted but indispensable
farm institution of horse and bug-
gy days, the small boy, comments
the Daily Times, Watertown,
Time was *hen the small boy's
service-, on the farm were eniver-
sal, if sometimes unpredictable.
There were stock and hens to feed,
corn to hill, potato bugs to pick,
gardens to weed, and wood to split
and cord up, 13ut mechanization
and scientific methods ,have dis-
placed these young apprentices,
much to their joy in most install -
Feeding is no longer a random
chore but an exact procedure for
the modern farmer. Wood has in
many cases been replaced by coal
or oil fuel. And weeding and spray
ing are today done on a wholesale
basis. Chemicals such es 2-4-D,
DDT, sulphuric acid, salt brine
and petroleum products can kill
more weeds and bugs iu a few
hours than legions of small boys
could handle in days.
* *
Perhaps this means that today's
farmers will thrn from those fam-
ilies of five or ten children that
once were indispensable. They may
substitute the cold but efficient
laboratory for the nursery. This
poses a question fraught with sig-
nificance for the American Way:
1Vhence will come those farm
boys, those great scientists, states-
. sten, industrialists, whose careers
owed so much to their youthful
environment?
But another view will be taken
by those of us who have labored
long hours in corn or potato fields
under a blazing sun, with the dust
seeping into cur eyes and up our
pant legs. Science did not come
soon enough, We were born 30
years or more too early,
Skirt Length Takes
Drop of Five Inches
Hiding the feminine knee -cap this
fall is one fashion "must" on which
all designers are agreed. Skirt
length takes a sudden plunge of five
or more inches.
-Less unanimous is the aim of
stylists to pull stuffing out of shoul-
ders. Those who don't yank out all
cushioning modify the size of
shoulder pads.
Coats almost more than any day -
tithe fashions seen in early pre-
views reflect a prodigal use of yard-
age. They will envelope the little
woman like a tent. Or will float
fullness behind her like a bridal
veil. Coats swing from yokes or
wrap around with lavish It:movers.
Miley wrap -mounds stay mit with
the help of a hand.
Many new suits owe their sauve
look to breadeloth. With softer
shoulders, longer jackets, plunging
hemlines and bandings of fur, such
suits strike a new note of elegance.
Metallic or broeade blouses add to
this effect. •
You just must have pot -lifters, so
why not the prettiest ones possible?
Here they are—a pansy, a rose. Jiffy
crochet, and very gay.

TEEN -TOWN. TOPICS
By BARRY MURKAR
As we loOk in on the scene to -day,
we find Milker reclining in an easy
chair with his typewriter perched
up in front of
the chair. Be-
side the type-
writer is a half
bottle of coke
and a cookie.
Two feet away
the radio is go-
ing full blast
and a man is
telling about the
Teen -Town to b' at the "Ex." this
year. There will be a spelling -bee,
public speaking contests and lots of
stuff and things—so we'll pass that
much along now. Tlless me, now
Harry James is giving out with that
old goodie, "Two O'Clock Jump",
I'll have to stop a minute. Oh
brother, they sure give out on that
one.
"How It Happened"
Two weeks ago, you picked up
this column and' probably fell flat.
On recovering you no doubt groan-
ed, "so that's what that jerk looks
like". Well me friendlies. we have
been kidded a lot about that picture
and here is how it happened. The
editor gets the idea that my pieture
in the column will dress it up.
Ain't that a laugh ? And 1 can ac-
count for those dark circles too.
You see, my pop took that picture.
Well, pop gets under that black
sheet and says watch the
There is a blinding flash, a big
plat of smoke and pop lands six

circles are really touches of the
smoke that shot out through the
whosits when the thingamabob

John Mowatt of our town is
typical of the teen-agers who aspire
to be something. He came in to-
day with a magazine cover he had
painted as an assignment for his
art school. John works in the day-
time and studies art at night.
Hundreds of young people are in
much the same position and we
would be pleased to hear about
them. John sells some of his oils
in a Ionl store as does another
artist, Norm Cafik. ,11 you know

ustr alia's Token
Of Ernpire Loyalty
Australia has had to dive deep
into its citizenspockets to find
the X20,000,000 that the Common-
. wealth has prtsented as a free gift
to Britain. Australia has a small-
er population than London, and
3320,000.000 means ,e3 from each
Australian man, woman and child,
But there is far more than money
in this magnificent geslstre, it
speaks for the love and trust that
bind the tuitions of the Empire
together, and the determination of
the British peoples to stand to-
gether in peace as they hate stood'
in war. Some croakers abroad have
been saying that the Empire is ,.
falling apart. What do they say
to this?
CHNONIC5.,ES OF GINGER FARM
By twendoline P. Clarke
Last \VednesdaY Bob put the
car in the eliazie of a tree and
said lie o.as going to change the
oil, Half alt hour later 1 yyent out
to ask bin something but all 1
could see of Hob at first wile two
feet aild a pair of legs sticking
out from under the front of the
ear; and from thoee legs there
wasnt -o much as a movement,
"Mercy", 1 thought, "it must be
that the car slipped off the jack
anfl , crushed him." \e'ith My heart
in my moutli 1 went ' n carer. A nd
then 1 found the rest of
head, shoulders 1111z1 body, on his
back, in the ditch, well under the
car—and fast asleep! He looked
perfectly comfortable so 1 left hint
to it. But it was not for long. A
truck rams rattling tzp the lane and
the noise of it resulted in a rude
awakening for the sleeper.
But let me hasten to add my son
is not in ,the habit of sleeping 011
the job. You see'there was a reason
for it this time. lie had just return-
ed front that long trip to the nor-
thern wilds that I was telling you
about last week and he had been
either driving or riding since eight
o'clock the previous night to seven
o'clock that morning—and in a
truck at that. Why wouldn't he fall
asleep?
Incidentally that must havez.been
quite h trip, Bob and his compan-
ions were right into the bush coun-
try, along with the mosquitoes and
black flies, staying at an isolated
farm house just about miles from
everywhere, and where sheep had
to be shut up every night to protect
them from the bears and wolves.
t Naturally living conditions were
1 more or less primitive in such a dis-
trict, not through ignorance but
necessity, but the people, so Bob
said were very nice.
*
Partner says if he were a younger
man that is the kind of life he would
like, now that he has some eic-
perience behind him. Well, I don't
know—in my younger days I might
have liked it too—but not now.
The wild bush country of the north
and the wide open spaces of the
west, have somehow lost their ap-
peal.
Strange, when one thinks of it,
how many types of farmieg, and
how many ways of living there are
in this Canada of ours. You couldn't
introduce a stranger to Ontario and
say—"This is typically Canadian"
Neither is the west or the north
typically Canadian. But each is
part of the whole—east, west, north,
New Bulletin On
Canning at Home

With the canning and preserving

Requirements and Recipes
The section on canning indicates
the equipment required, and ex-
plains every step to talce until the
fruit or vegetable is processed,
sealed in the containers and neatly
to be stored for future use. The
chance of error is reduced to
a minimum by the inclusion
of a processing time table giv-
ing full instructions for the prepare -
t105 of each kind of fruit and vege-
table and the time required for pro-
