Some- -Urnes they must have found the boss cranky, if sa, we will try to inake amends by saying "thanks gang", your wark was much ap- preciated.

Years ago mother used to make us kids swallow molasses and sul- phur and green rhubarb ta make us feel frisky after a duli winter. Planting trees is ail the spring medicine we use now. Our help this year was very versatile, about hall were young ladies, the other hall maies. The girls were paid the same rate as the men, therefore, were expected ta do the same work, which they did. They flot only handled the pianting ppeilsý but took their turn an the shovels, planting ma- chines, besides driving the trac- tors. Some of them still seemed ta have enaugh gimp left ta do a bit of "smooching" during the noan haur. Russia likes ta brag about haw their women wark. Our girls back here do it volun- tarily, pleasantly, and well, with no bragging. Yesterday we cailed ta see a former neighbour, Peter Walker, now living at Hàlland Landing. He runs his own store there. When we first met Peter 30 years ago, he was about 39 years aid.

Butter exports amounted ta 53 million pounds, more than forty times as much as in 1947, but less than haif of the 1938 export quan- tity. Cheese exports in 1948 were 50 million pounds, compared with 32 million in 1947 and 129 million in 1938. Condenseci milk exports totalled 107 million pounds, again- st. 90 million in the previaus year and 330 million in 1938. Belgium and Great Britain were the principal buyers of both butter and cheese and 13.6 million pounds of the condensed milk went ta the United Kingdom. youi1 Roy W.

He moved from these parts. Then, when war broke out in 1939, enlisted, although 60 years old, or close ta it. Not only did he en- list, but went overseas, was wounded, and, we are glad ta say, came back ta Canada. Although Mr. Walker had spent mast of his life farming, when receiving his discharge fromn the army, he decided ta run a store in a small country place. We learned yesterday that he did flot use his army credits ta become established, but, bought the business on his awn hook, pay- ing cash, and determined ta sink or swim by his own tfforts. He has a good business, well estab- lished in a good communîty. We noticed everyone called him 'Pop while we were there. He and I did quite a bit of reminiscing about aid times around Pantypool. I tbink we were bath sorry the time flew so fast. We gave a lift ta a couple af young fellows on their way ta Toronto and men- tioned that we had been visiting Peter Walker, they told us that oid "Pop" Walker was a gaod square shooter, always ready ta give the boys a break. They also said everyone liked and trusted him. Well, you can bet, that was music ta aur ears. Peter Walker is about 69 years oid, he stili believes that any man in order ta succeed, must give unselfish service, that his personal integrity must be above reproach. Judging from the comments of his custamers and neighbours of 3 year's standing, Peter is pract- icing what he is preacbing. We enjoyed his generous Highland hospitality. and, wish for him, many years af good health and prosperity. As we sbook bis hand in farewell, we couldn't help thinking that this district suffered a distinct loss when the Walker famnily moved elsewhere.
