She gave me a nice com- pliment, saying I am a very gif t- ed musician but must always work for absolute perfection in al technique work. France seems different fromn any other place. Ail the restau- rants bave terrace sections on the streets. You eat autside under an awning. In the traffic everybody goes wbere they like as fast as possible and the anly law is tbat (since there are no stop streets) blow your haro. The persan an your rigbh goes first. Paris bas many places (squares) and cir- dles witb six ta eigbt streets com- ing together, soA i is fantastic. Nobody drinks milk in Paris, only in coffee in the marning, nat in coffee any other turne. Every- one, yaung and aid, drink wine with their meals. Ail restaurants are the same. The French are alI for French pianos. Nobady plays a Steinway (wbich is far better). Gavea, Erard and Pleyel are the three pianos. AIl the buses are chuga- lugs which you jump on tbe back of. The subways are good. The streets are wide and beautiful with lovely trees everywbere. French Wai-m Hearted The French people are very warm hearted, free and easy go- ing. They will do anytbing for you that they possibly cao, and I haire been most impressed by the bas- pitalîty of the family I live witb. The Caronation was a great tbrill, regardless of the cold wet weather. The gold coacbi loaked like a bah aof sunshine going down the street. Caronation decorations were ail lighted. London streets and bouses, and the many towns we passed thraugh were wonder- fully decorated." Whaf Do You Know About Krochology? The cawing of a crow cames sbarply from a thicket. There is anxiety and terror in the sound. Then it changes ta a downright moan-an urgent pleading for belp. Crows within a mile hear the caîl and respond readily. Tbey wing their way in flocks tawards a clump of evergreens ta help out their traubled comrade. As they near their objective, a volley of guni shots suddenly blast at tbemn. Several are caught with- in range and fali ta the graund. A grinning bunter steps out in the open with a crow caîl dangling from a cord around bis neck. 'Good krocbology!" he muses. "Krochology" is a new word coined by Less Morrow, autdoor columnist af the Mantreal Herald, and means "the science of calling and sbaating craws". He describes tbis science i0 a new booklet, -Calling Ail Crows", issued by the ammunition division of Cana- dian Industries Limited.

They collected $222.51 without work- ing in the evenings as in previaus years. Raised $3036.96 Sa Far The blind are by no means en- tirely dependent on the sighted for their care and upkeep. Many blind persons are skilled crafts- men and brilliant executives. 09 course, not alI cao earn enough ta keep tbemselves and their families, and many look ta the C.N.I.B. for help. For this reason the Institute asks for financial aid in caring for and teaching the people who are under their care. The local objective this year was $3200.00, and so fan $30136.96 of this bas been collected. Donations will always be accepted ta aid in this great work. Blind people in the district at- tend picnics and Christmas par- ties sponsored by the Institute and receive Christmas gifts. Each year a graup of blind persons bave a sale of articles which tbey them- selves have made. Last year's sale The death occurred on June 18, of Mary Rosella Graham, dearly beloved wife of John A.
