For many years Mr. and Mrs. Roy McGill were our Pontypool neighbours. They now live in Bowmanville. Through the years we often invited each other over for a visit, but somehow the ýtime slipped away without either couple ever managing to Ifind time to slip over for a chat or cup of tea. When we met them a few days ago t.hey inquired when we were coming to visît tbem. We said "right now," and suited the action to the word. That's how corne we had supper with them. Someone turned on the tele- vision, but no one looked at the thing, we were ail too busy hap- pily visiting, when the noise of it interferrcd wîth aur chat, we simply shouted an octave loud- er.

Sforage of Farm Um -iJi Mr't T onti an ivÂi.J11inerLenii Life of Implemeni s eIIs The close o! the working sea- son is the time ail machines should be prepared for starage. Alttle care at this time will save hours, if not days, o! wark the talaowing season. The useful lite and service o! many farm machines is shorten- cd througb the iack o! proper protection and safe storage, says G. L. Byers, Dept. o! Agricul- tural Engineering, Ontario Agri- cultural College. Since most ma- chines are used anly a few weeks each seasan, their total period o! aniual service is ra- ther short. However, the chie! enemies a! machines -- decay, rust and corrosion-are active the year round. A srnall arnount o! time, effort and expense, given ta the protection o! tarrn implements against destructive moisture and barnyard acids, will return dividends in the forrn o! improved performance, longer service, bigb resale and trade-in-value, case o! opera- tion, and lower operating costs. Seedbed preparation machines sbouid bave ail dirt removed and the polished surfaces tho- roughly coated with a rust- proofing compound. Grain drills shauid bave ail seed and fertil- zer removed from the drill, since any grain or tertilizer lcft in the happer will colleet and hold moisture. This in turn will rot wood and corrode metal. The drill shoold be stored in a dry place, set level with a board under the drill in the event a! it being stored on a dirt floor. Any pal- ished part sbould be coated with a rust preventative. Hgrvesting machines sbould be tborougbly cleaned and in- spected, worn parts replaced and the machinery returned toaa serviceable condition. Knotters and such mecbanisms shou]d be coated with a grease or a rust preventative. Guard points and exposed cutting parts sbould be covered ta prateet workers and livestock. Canvas eonveyers, etc., should be thoroughiy cleaned, dried and stored in a dry, pratected place away tram radents, birds, poultry, etc. Even thougb a machine li cleaned, reeanditioned and lu- bricated whcn placed in star- age, it needs ta be cleaned again and thoroughly iubricated when rem-oved tram storage and res- tored to service. thon a You'Il fInd you gmt more power on lois gai Chevrolet's two great vaive-in-head engines arce iîgh-comnpressian en- gifles, ln Powerglide* modeis, you get the most powerfui engine in Chevrolet's field - the new i15-hp.

What thrillinX epics of battles fought and won 'gainst winter winds and spring- time floods! Years ago a modest ivy sought shelter 'neath one of these stur- dy sons of the forest and he did not say her nay, and so she clung to him and environed him in her sinuous embrace, until, by virtue of his support, she out- stripped hima in the race of growth and falling back into his sturdy arms lay supine grace- fui festoons. And there, upon the morn of wbich I write, the arrogant Frost King had found her and fu upon her face, im- printed his_ Arctic Kiss, and now, crimson with the shame, of it, she awaited the inevitable dissolution. In her flamboyanti embrace her liege lord wasi transformed into a huge fagot, of dripping gare, which, touch-, ed, even as I iooked, by the first ray of the sun of coming day, became a mass of scintillating ruby in emeraid setting; a gentle breeze stirred the bran- ches, and the trce became a sparkling fountain, a bewilder- ing explosion of dazzling jewels,.1 a vivid, throbbing, writbing! mass of Oriental magnificencel which benumbed the senses andi ieft one spellbaund.
