Clarke A few weeks agq a friend of ours, getting up in years, and particularly fond of flowers, happened to 'men- tion that she had never seen the famous Rock Gardens in Hamilton. 4 could hardly believe it--it was al- most incredible that anyone so bless- ed with "green fingers" as my friend should miss scemng anything. that would give her so much pleas- ure. But of course she had no way of making the trip unless someone took 'her. Right away I promised that if we ever had a better car than the Model A, she would certainly see the Gardens, So that was my first trip with "the Greening." That, by the way, is my name for our latest car; and--for two reasons™one be- cause it is green and the other be- cause--at" present--it is the apple of my eye. 3 RT Th So away we went last Thursday-- two elderly ladies and myself -- and we saw .the Rock Gardens in all their spring glory, It was-a lovely wandered around to our heart's content, fol- lowing the winding paths among the rocks; climbing the stepping stones to . higher levels; resting on the benches when we were tired; and watching the goldfish as they flash- eC through 'the water, no matter which way we looked. There were so many of them--far mate than 1 had scen before. Either more had been put into_the pools or they must mul- tiply very rapidly, i Of course we had to get into con- versation with the gardeners and leariicd to' our 'amazement that' only two men are employed to look after the. Gardens, How they ever keep them in such good condition | don't know. That day they were setting out bedding plants. A truck had just delivéred them in flats--all kinds of annuals, and there must have been thousands of them. , It just about gave me a backache to look at them! y * * * As we chatted with the---men--.1-| _§ 'noticed a few roots of primroses in among the rocks. I: drew attention to them and the head gardener said, "Yes, and those few oots are all that are left--too many people take a fancy to them and first thing we know they are nearly all gone. Sure, therd's a $30 fine for stealing roots or flowers, but a man can't have eyes everywhere at once -- there's a lot, of people go through the gardens from one 'day to ane" other." Doesn't that seem a crime?

It is hard to believe that peb- ple who love flowers would be guilty of such meanness. I have always thought one of the characteristics of a person who really loves flowers is a desire to share them with other "folk, not to.thieve and destroy for selfish pleasure. Th RE Upon our arrival home my first job was to visit a little bird pris- oner. In the forenoon I discovered a small bird sitting on the front step ~I think it was a- green linnet. It made no attempt to fly or run when I approached and nestled quite hap- pily in my hand. So I put it in a large x covered with a window screen and supplied it with food and water, Evidently it had been stunned in some way and recovered during my absence because when I opened the box it took to its wings in no un- certain fashion.

TABLE TALKS ... Strawberries . . © A reser According to facilities available tastes, strawberries may be. frozen, canned or made up into jam. If there is a quick freezing locker plant in your community, frozen strawberries will most probably be your choice since in freczing, the . color, flavour and shapé are so well retained that it is a joy to have frozen berries to serve out of season, Some varicties of strawberries freeze more successfully than others, so it is recommended to check with your provincial Department of Agri- culture for, the varicties suitable in your district, Based on their exten- sive experimental work on freezing strawberries, the home economists of the Consumer Section. Dominion _ Department of Agriculture, say that "oily, fruit of a high quality should : be frozen. The strawberrles must be ripe but firm, and at the ideal stage of maturity for immediate table use. Speed and care in preparing and handling the fruit are very import- ant, To prevent the fruit from loos- ing its original flavour, appearance and texture, a smatl quantity only should be prepared at one time for freezing. LJ » * . The strawberries are washed and sorted before being hulled; then they are packed either whole or sliced in cold, medium syrup to cover or in dry sugar. A medium syrup is made with 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup wa- ter. For dry sugar usc 4 lbs. of pre- pared fruit, about 12 cups to one pound of sugar (2 cups). The packed containers should be frozen immediately after packing. If they are to be frozen and stored in a locker plant, each container, as it is packed, should be placed in a re- frigerator or very cold place until all containers are ready and then taken to_the locker plant without. de- lay. . * x » Homemakers who do not have freezing facilities are interested in the best recommended method for canning strawberries. The recom- ""mendations for preparing and hand- - ling the strawberries are the same for canning as for freezing. * There are two methods recom- mended for canning strawberrics, the Cold Pack method and the Hot Pack method using the same strength of syrup, that is a medium one which is made using equal amounts of sugar and water. personal.

Shortage of Teapots Upsets Government The Socialist regime in England has come to its crucial test, There is a shortage of teapots. A Laborite member complained Commons that he had tried unsuccessfully in 11 stores to buy one. The parliamentary sccre- tary of the Board of Trade couldn't tell him where. Thus the issue is joined. Everyone knows an Englishman must have his tea. Without it he becomes unman- ageable. 'Unless the Socialists find some pots, and find them. fast, their government may discover itself .up- set.
