A great amount of time is con- suumed in talking nothing, doing nothing, and indecision as to what one should do-Mary Baker Eddy. "A* 'C,',...0 Be Ready for Trouble For almost every flower, fruit, vegetable and shrub, it seems there is a special insect or disease. Few indeed are free from attack and many have several enemies. The best defense is healthy grow- th and good seed. It is compara- tively easy to control damage in a dlean, well cultivated garden of husky growth, but it is a big problem where the plants are not doing well and where there are a lot o! weeds and other rubbish to protect and help propagate bugs and diseases. Fortunately for the garden en- emies there are dusts and sprays specially prepaiýed to deal with them. For the bugs that eat holes in the foliage use poison. For those that suck out the juices causing the plant to wither attack with a spray that will burn. Di- sease usually hits the plant celîs and causes withering or rot in blackish spots. Chemicals like sulphur are used in this case. Of- ten one good treatment will be enough but with things like leaf hoppers and potato bugs which lay eggs, two or three successive treatments ta get the young ones wiil be needed. Most chemicals lose their potency in time so a fresh supply each season is ad- v-'sable. No Rush Yet r ush planting.

Trinity W.A. Hear Talk On SpringCleaning Trinity Women's- Association met in the school room wîth Mrs. K. Cox and her group in charge. The meeting opened with a splen- did devotional period with Mrs. Elmer Cox, Mrs..K. Cox and Mrs. Austin Wood taking part. Two very lovely solos followed, Mrs. J. Brown singing 'It Was For Me"i and Mrs. K. Werry "April Goes Awalking". Both ladies were ac- companied at the piano by Mrs. Otto Bragg. Mrs. R. M. Seymour, Enniskil- len, was guest speaker who chose for her subject "Spring Clean- ing'. The speaker said it is just as necessary to spring dlean our minds as aur homes. We find they are often cluttered up with many things and we neglect to put first things first. Everyone thcse davs knc;ws almost every- thing about life except how to live it. Out o! the challenge o! to-day we build aur 'brave to- marraw. She impressed us with the thought: "what harnpens ta yau doesn't matter: the thing that does matter is haw yau allow it to affect you.

Taken as a whole, they represented 53.4 per cent o! the total imports by Great Britain o! the particular products. Nine- ty-three per cent o! aIl the oats imported were Canadian, over 80 per cent o! the wheat and flour and three-quarters o! the bacon and ham. Nearly hal! o! the eggs, fresh appies and potat.oes im- ported were o! Canadian origin, about a third o! the canned sal- mon and 12 per cent of the cheese. Miscellaneous !oods included bea- ns, beef, mutton and lamb, canned tomatoes, canned fruit, and fruit pulp.

These scholarships were made possible through the Ade- laide Hoodless Fund. a 55th anni- versary project which resulted in $19,000 being presented by the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario to the Ontario Agricul- tural College for scholarship pur- poses. The board was pleased to hear the announcement of Hon. T. B. Kennedy, Ontario Minister of Ag- riculture, that a four-year degree course in Home Economics at the Macdonald Institute would com- mence this faîl. This course will be opened to a limited number of girls. Five annual scholarships of 100 each, will be awarded to students taking this course. The scholarships will be regional, giv- ing students throughout Ontario an equal opportunity to win them. Two scholarships are being aw- arded to girls entering the four- year course this faîl, with prefer- ence given to daughters of Insti- tute members. The remainder o! the fund will be used to provide further scholarships for rural girls. The scholarship committee for the coming year was named as follows; Mrs. A. Hamilton, At- wood, Mrs. William McClure, Brampton and Mrs. L1. A. Mac- Ewen, Russell, along with Mrs. J. R. Futcher, Provincial Presiderit and Miss Anna P. Lewis, Director o! t.he Women's Institute Branch. It was announced that the film on the 5Oth Anniversary celebra- tion will be released for exhibi- tion in May, and that requests for use of the film should be made to Miss Anna P. Lewis, Director o! the Women's Institute Branch and Home Economics Service, Ontario Department of Agricul- ture, Toronto. Miss Anna P. Lewis showed co- ]oured slides of her trip to Europe last faîl, when she attended the first postwar conference of the Associated Country women of the World. Mrs. Hugh Summers, Past President of the Federated Women's Institutes, and Mrs. Wil- liam McClure, Brampton, who were delegates to A.C.W.W. Con- ference in Holland, presented their reports on that gathering of women of many nations. Mrs. Summers urged exchange visits with the women of other coun- tries in order to stimulate better feelingcs b.-tween nations. "We have a high record of achievement to maintain," said Mrs. J. R. Futcher in her presi- dential address. "We have a rec- ord for unsclfish service to up- hold. We can be a tremendous power for good because we sup- port actively the finest things in life. Brotherhood and internation- al goodwill are imperative-if civil- iziaion, as we know it, is to sur- vive. We are in a splendid posi- tion to bring this about. Through our many organizations, we speak an international language. We have our fingers on the pulse o! the world and must do all we can to keep it beating. Democracy is coming to realize that there can neyer be world peace until all people are free. Through the Food and Agriculture organiza- tion, it is our duty to see that neyer again wiIl there be bursting granaries in the Americas and misery and want in Europe and Asia. We should neyer cease in our efforts until rural women aIl over the world have, in some measures, the privileges that you and I enjoy." Miss Anna P. Lewis, in her report, expressed appreciation o! the fine co-operation of the Insti- tute women of Ontario. Institute membership in Ontario, she said, now stands at 38,600, with twenty new branches having been est- ablished since December 1, 1947.

A. Bis- hop, V.C., C.B., D.S.O., M.C., D.F. C., E.D, L.L.D., chairman of The Army's National Advisory Board, who recently announced the com- pletion of dominion-wide Cam- paign plans. National objective will Le $1,100,000 for mainten- ance, plus capital items. Actually, Air Marshal Bishop declared, The Salvation Army is just reverting to its prewar poli- cy of conductîng its major finan- cial appeal in the month of May. A government war measure di- recting that war service Cam- paigns should *be held in the spring and home service cam- paigns in the faîl was the prime reason for The Salvation Army's change in long-established policy. Another impprtant teason for the change-over, the Air Marshal said, was to avoid conflict with the dates o! Community Chest Campaigns. In ail larger and ma- ny o! the small centres through- out the country, Community Chest appeals are made in Octo- ber. This compelled The Salva- tion Army to launch its appeal not later than September 1;1 and as arganization of both campaigns pragressed almost simultaneous- 'y, often the same people were approached to give time and ef- fort as organizers and canvassers. 'This was detrimental, Aie' Mar- shal Bishop said, to both cam- paigns. The Marshal stated th *at though in some cities The Salvation Ar- my was a participating group with the Community Chest, it pre- ferred to retain its organizational identity. The difficulties o! campaign or- ganization during summer vaca- tion months was stressed by the National Chairman. With an ear- ly September appeal the many good friends who comprise cam- paign committees across Canada, and without whom the Red Shield Appeal could not be conducted, find they have insufficient time after holidays to set up a really effective organization. In centres where problems have caused postponement of the Ap- peal, The Salvation Army has, in some instances, been forced to delay the campaign until uncom- fartably near Christmas. In such p!aces lowered returns have seri- ously jeopardized the mainten- ance o! services. The benefits to a synchronized appeal from national publicity wcre abvious, Air Marshàl Bishop said. He forecasted an unsur- passed response on the part o! Canadians to the 1948 Red-Shield Appoal, and said that neyer be- fore in its sixty years' operation in Canada had The Army's needs been so urgent or its demands so multiplied. whil of olia. i W.Ad(ios )Mil St. Marys, Ontario - Break-O-Day A stretch o! verdant meadow- land, flanked an the one side by an orchard redolent o! fragrant blossom, on the other by a long disused grave yard where marbie slaba and shafts still stand sen- tinel over pioneers who have slept through long long years.

In the foreground an icy spring gurgling in melodic rhythm, and, backdrop toalal, a magnificent stand o! towering m a ple s, through the bales and limbs o! which is glimpsed, here and there, the rays o! the morning sun as it slowly creeps over the eastern horizon, drenching in silver light the awakeîiing world- Morn! And the roseate east light Filters through stately trees, And attuned to my ear, came sweet and clear, Soft crçidled on vagrant breeze, The blithesome sang o! the fea- thered throng, At'd the drone of the waking bees. And the trunks o! the woodland vista Form channels of living light, Down which matin chant, with gay rampant, Welcomes Day from out the Night Swaying branches embrace His reredas To music that pulseth His might.
