Learned Carriage Trade The couple -have two daughters, Mrs. Les. (Arde3lia) Wietearaeni, 8ornhoIni 4044411- John (Pesrl) 'Muer, Hamilton/; and four grandiiechildren. Mr Hii'lebrof eght recalls: "I can still returesnber the day my , father took me to Mitchell in 1894 to learn the carriage trade at the Golinitz & Hughey firm. Farm boys learned quickly to contend with the ribbing they took in the towns. A term applied to country boys then was `Hayseed' and it was their 'first -initiation into the towns. Towns- people nowadays seem to have for- gotten remarks like that. "Apprentices in those days had to serve three years. Wages were excellent, matching those in almost any other held. I ' got $35 and board for the first' 12 ins the;.' 045 and board the second yearsand $60 and board the' third Year. • Some bl'acksm'iths 'may''have got a trifle more, but not very much mire: There were 'no strikes in those days, and troublemakers usually found themnseive's'being pitohed out the .door. • . Tax $8 on 9 Acres "When the apprenticeship was over, .I got about 75 or 85 -cents a day, but it' was difficult to find work, so I took up carpentry one summer with Louis Higmell at 75 cents a day, turning a boring machine, framing .barns and shing- ling from 7 a.m. until dark. Later I worked for the late George Leon- hardt for seven years and found , r , 0°0:4, r4 o w!prk', hfidcard {r�e.�1i?. ;i_e('ea' :'I' •tp}u t heY are no19', ..MY rdt+taxe0 vR'Ore abol}t; $ on, aline •acres, of land, twc houe'es e a barn, a 1u]mbersiied age bl', ok- azuith slop; 'wa,g6I ep'anid; or - age room.

'The old smithy"1 bought in 1903 was torn down .by Fred Dickerson to make robni for a niore••modern structure. ,I guess the optleok for a 'blacksmith shop in our village' is rapier gloomy. Our, last 'b1'a Ssnith was Mervin' Miller, whd:lies Moved ' to Galt Habrever, Mr. Leon'hardt still operates the old wagon shop. "I can remember one day's .work when ,the ratepayers of the area took contracts to,haul'gravel with horses•, Some would load one and a -half to two cubic yards ofgravel on rough roads•. I had to put iii three new .wagon axkes that day; I was willing:to quit when the last one was finished,"`"but it was no eight-hour day for us. It is still' difficult to keep my wife' from working ,hard. She still does 'most of her owh work and has made five quilts lately."

There is room here for specialization and original work in literally, . hundreds of directions. And the cost is nominal, a 'few cents for seeds, and a little obser- vation and 'pleasant exercise. Any- one can soon become an expert along certain lines of his own choosing. Some people like to con- centrate on rock gardens, others on window boxes, or an extra fine lawn of, say, bent grass. Others go in for rare dwark plants or special borders of various distinctive col- ors. Still others accept the chat -- lenge of shaded quarters and with tuberous begonias and other plants that actually prefer .ta keep away from the sun. The seed catalogues will help in choosing plants for any of these special purposes and, of course,for the more advanced ,there are all sorts of special litera- ture. In this sort of thing it will help to choose a plant or line that seems to have a special liking for the soil or other conditions avail- able and, of course, it should be more or less a personal favorite, too, Chemical Fertilizers In recent years, gardeners have turned more and more to• chemical fertilizers. These are clean, easy to use and, powerful. They are made up of three main elements, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot- ash, with the proportions of each expressed in formulae of three fig- ures, thus 4-8-4. The first of these boosts the. ,green growth above the ground 'and is especially valuable for lawns, lettuce, ca'b'bage and oth- er leafy vegetables, The phosph- oric h- oric 'acid encourages the growth of starch and sugars, flowers and seeds, 'Potash balances the other two and helps maturity. When veg- etables are stunted or mishapen it' le usually a sure sign that the soil is deficient 'in potash. Oommercial ferti.lizei'?s should he used carefully accordin;g to directions and worked into the soil close to but not ac- tually touching 'the plants or roots. With them alone, plus some humus or green,m'anure, one can maintain the quality of garden soil indefinite- ly, Even where soil is 'naturally rich, or animal manure is available a little chemical fertilizer will 'be found useful for pushing growth fast, or as a stimulant or -pick-ine- up after transplanting. Screens and Backgrounds There is a wide assortment of annuals, both tall and. climbing for screening or background purposes:. These plants will reach two to 10 feet high in a few weeks. In most seed catalogues along with the date of ,flowering, hard'ines's and, other factors, will be listed the mature height and usually some indication of the speed these flowers grow. In the tall category are cosmos, holly- hocks, giant zinnias and. marigolds, spider plants, ornamental sunflow- ers and many others. Planted well .apart and in good soil these 'ill form a .blossoming backgrounafor the regular flowers and , will hide practical bits of the backyard we do not wish. every 'passerby to see. For the same 'purpose one can also use annual climbing- things like nasturtiums, , sweet peas, scarlet runner beans, morning glories, an- nual hops, etc. Power Saves Labor Where one has more than the average sized lot, a garden tractor and a power lawn mower will save a lot of time and hard work. These machines are not. expensive and, given a minimum of care, they will last for many years. They will do the ,work at least five times faster than'•'by hand. It is a mistake to purchase too large equipment, es- pecially in tractors. The smaller types are much more easily hand- led. Experienced gardeners also ad- vise buying' more and smaller pow- er units, rather than a big tractor with a lot of attachments. • Friend in Need In many communities there are small children who are mentally retarded or backward. Such young- sters oungsters are not able to take care of themselves in traffic or against old- er unfriendly chilceren Then too s THE MIRACLE' OF SPRING - Again the miracle of Spring is here, Winter is gone, the Summer days ai;e near. The morning sun comes .up, earth's greatest friend, To light and warm our band from end to end. The cleansing rain descerids, the South winds blow, The Ruler of the seasons will's it so; And birds are here—the robin and the wren Are nesting in the same old tree again~, , I3ees and beetles, yes, every Creeping thing Stirs at the warming, welcom'e breath of Spring; They know their every need will be supplied, And witb that knowledge they are satisfied. ,Springtime Is' wonderful in many ways, It brings us shorter nights and longer days; The earth puts, on her gay green Summer dress; Another'color.would look strange, I guess. The maple trees 1.' lsndiv are full of sap, ' I wish that I could go once more and tap The row that grew along our country lane-- Wouldn,'t I like to be. a boy again! The season ,brings new life to fishermen, hear--theirnvelcom'e "toot"at--fve-arm. ; It may be raining,' or the sun may shine; We're boys once more, with, rod, reel, hook and line, Asfritnd will send a gift just once a year; gay our tli 'tikk and' We wee Waite; sincere; • nit ioY' thedda'ir giftta that keep ii's II`vimg, How often we forget in our thanksgiving. 'V( JOHN 10-1A.TTIE • A NATURALIST working in the jungles of Africa uses a portable aluminum elevator to get to the top of 150 -foot trees to secure samples of plant and animal life. He simply shoots,,a line from a rifle over a sturdy limb, attaches it to the elevator cage and hauls himself up by working a hand winch fixed to the cage's floor. His one-man elevator is almost certainly made of Canadian alu- minum. For by putting untamed "white water" to work creating electrical power, Canada has made itself the largest exporter of alu- . minum in the world. Aluniinum Company of Canada, Ltd. (Alcan) DOMINION Side by side' on the merchants' shelves — Canadian materials and "imported" goods. Do yell gettany aadvantage when you go for "unpopted" , prOduets? In textiles, at least, the answer is simple. Canadian mills turn out fabrics and yarns that match or better the production of any other textile country of the world in quality. • They are made by ,Canadians who are paid good Canadian wages; they are designed to please Canadian tastes, meet Canadian needs. This is no plea to shun "imported" materials. They should be considered along with domestic products by every Canadian consumer, but on a strict what -do -I -get -for -my -dollar basis.
