Parking in Spain In Canada motorists put a coin into the parking -meter when they park their cars; England has car park attendants. But in Spain when the motorist pulls up out- side a shop he is usually ap- proached by a noisy troop of tough -looking kids who offer to "guard" his car while he is away. What they mean is that if he pays 'them well enough they will refrain from damaging his car. The motorist selects the toughest lad in the group and tips him to keep the others off. This the lad invariably does with the utmost fidelity to the motorist — and to his pals with whom he doubt- less shares the proceeds after- wards. glish "Popooshkor' — This terry cloth each jacket, designed by y Ricardo of London, has a hood which doubles as a carryall r books and magazines for thie beach, or cis protection for Iny moments. in pink and white, there's a matching make-up e On a string, so the wearer can't be "hoodwinked" for lack of adornment at the right moment. unexpected and exciting is the new look of lace any hour, any place this summer!

ISSUE 25 — 195'4 RONICLES le INGER FARM eneeen.doletee0 Cku,k Hasn't it been wonderful — one whole week of good weath- er? And now the dust is flying and farmers are hoping for rain. The land is unbelievably dry. In pasture fields there are deep cracks all over the place Those cracks . . . it still gives me a queer feeling to see them When I was very young my brothers used to tell me to be careful — those cracks in the earth indi- cated the possibility that an earthquake might come without warning and where there were extra big cracks the earth might suddenly split wide open and swallow me up! That was the one of the unnecessary fears that I carried around with me in my childhood. Children some- times become timid and have nightmares because of • just such frightening stories. If a child shows signs of being unduly nervous it is possible that fur - there trteuble might, be avoided if the young mother made a de- termined effort to discover the reason for her child's hidden fun — and it generally is hid- den. But back to the land. We are having some field work done on our farm this year. Our young friend John, on a farm about ten miles from here, wanted to put our twelve -acre front field into oats. That he has done, Last Saturday he came along with a girl to drive the tractor on the cultivator while • he drove a team of horses on the drill. He left • the horses here over the week -end ready for harrowing on Monday. We found it strange to see horses in our barn again and neither Partner nor 1 were too happy in watering them. I led Grey out while Partner fol- lowed with Sandy. With only a halter on his head Grey gave me a queer, helpless feeling. I knew if he decided to cut up I couldn't control him. And because of chronic neuritis in one arm, Partner had much the same feeling. We still like horses — with someone else to handle them! For ourselves we feel more at home now with the car and tractor, Johnny much prefers horses, although he has a tractor too. He says by using the tractor and the horses he has put in thirty acres of crop and used only *fifty. gallons of gas. I suppose some farmers think one way, some another. Driving along a road in Peel county last week I saw one farm where two teams were being used while just across the road there were no less than three tractors in one field. It would be interesting to follow that up and find out the net re- turns from both fields. Another thing • I noticed in Peel. I was on a gravel road; the dust was terrific and the whole district seemed more or less twenty-five years behind the times. Actually, no industrial developments, no housing sub-, divisions, no paved roads, just farm tland, some well cultivated, some not. But I wasn't .deceived. I knew that five miles further on it was a defferent story. On the uncared for land that I was passing there was generally a new house, the owner commut- ing back and forth to 1VIalton or Brampton. Another day I was in North Halton and the country had a genuine farm look — if yOu un- derstand what I mean. The houses had a "lived-in" appear- ance, and the churches, Schools and graveyards were tidy and well cared for aa if the com- munity took pride in keeping them that wey. And the wo- men must be wonderful house- keepers. That was obvious by the lunch that was served that day to the W.I. representative D411 How different from the avt.rage restaurant real — and dt halt the price. There were borne - made rolls "like mother used to make," We heard afterwards that one of the ladies made no less than 450 rolls! Now the district annual is over W.I. activities — except for Branch meetings have more or , less come to an end. Which is just ' as well as there comes a time in the lives of farm women when too many domande upon their time becoming a burden. There is so much extra work at this time of. the year that hay- ing and harvest is u'pOn ur be- fore we can turn around. With the busy season upon us I am wondering what is going to happen down town where we do our shopping. For years Sat- urday night has been practical- ly an institution in this district. Farmers, along with their fami- lies, get into 'good' clothe:: and drive to town -- to shop and to visit until ten or eleven at night. The week's work is behind them, Sunday ahead of them, so that Saturday night is very definite- ly a time of relaxation. Now the merchants down town have decreed that Friday is to be open night. Saturday they will close at six. They can't see that it will make any difference to farm folk — farmers can come in Friday night just as easily as Saturday. That we shall see — the innovation comes into effect next Saturday. It will not affect us at all as we very -rarely do our shopping at night. Never- theless I hate to see far, folk deprived of this innocent pas- time — the social Saturday night. One thing I ani sure of — Friday night will never take the place of •Saturday night It isn't the same thing at all. WE KNOW THE LINE! He was travelling on a rail- way line that was noted for its discomfort and slowness, After he had been an hour ac- complishing a journey of only a few miles, he eventually reached the terminus. "Well," he said to the ticket - inspector at the barrier, "thank goodness the worst part of the journey is over." The inspector looked interest ed. "Is that so, sir?" he said. "And where, if it's not a rude ques- tion, are you bound for?" "China!" snapped the traveller. , edeeeleiteieseteteese., Versatile is The Word — Secretary by day and automobile build - or by night keeps Joanie Cornelous busy.
