"Can't you cut out that con- tinuous bouncing about, Jonah?" asked the whale, "you are ruining my digestion." "You're a fine one to talk," answered Jonah, "if you only had kept that big mouth of yours shut, neither of us would be in this fix now," - 8. Dry as wines 37. Vegetable 49. Shellfish 10.

Except for trees and shrubs growth is at a standstill. We hate to lose the sunshine but we know a nice, gentle rain is what we ac- tually need. Fine weather brought us four visitors yesterday but it -also re- duced our regular family by one. That is to say Bob is away on a construction job north of here-- back to the job he likes-=as power shovel operator, working on a new road that is-in the process of be- ing built. Which brings Partner and 1 back to 'the Darby and Joan stage once agam. And then. this Joan took a dav off last I'riday to attend the W.I. Officer's Rally in Guelph. . This Officers Rally has become an cvent vhich few delegates like to miss. In fact attendance has ex- ceeded accomodation at the O.A.C. so that the overflow had to be boarded out at hotels in the city. Most W.lI. members will hear highlights of the cvent from re- ports by their own Branch ofii- cers so | confine myself mostly to personal impressions. My first impression was a realiz- ation of the interest, the loyalty and the strength of the W.I. in Ontario. Tow could one think otherwise when 1,100 women were willing to leate their homes at House-cleaning time? | was also struck with their intelligent grasp of the many problems that were presented and discussed... For in- stance, women were really inter- ested when Mr, Stothers, of the Public Relations Branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. out- lined the way in which secretaries and treasurers should handle the business affairs of the Branch en- trusted to their care. A mimeo- graphed copy of his informative ad- dress will be available to \W.I. scc- retary-treasurers throughout the province. The test of the forenoon was taken up with group discussions of officers work and problems, fol- lowed by a panel discussion in the afternoon, at which the group leaders summarized their findings, _ and discussed merits and disad- vantages of the practices that had been discussed. ;One contentious question created a good deal of interest--""Should the District An- nual be used as a get-to-gether for anniversaries and for hearing guest speakers?" The majority ruled that the District Annual should be al- most - entirely a business meeting. So that's that, ladies--no more an- niversaries or speakers at your District Annuals! 4 In regard to Branch meetings it was agreed that guest speakers sometimes provided a stimulus but that having guest speakers too of- ten frequently created lazy mem- bers. To prevent this local talent should be developed to thé limit, for one reason the surest way to maintain interest among the mem- bers was to keep them busy. Re- ferring to the officers it was said "the president provides the inspir- ation and' the secretary the pers- piration." : A pleasing highlight of the af- ternoon was an address on "Leader- ship" by Miss Ethel Chapman, formerly women's editor of the I'armer's Magazine but now ap-. pointed to the staff of the Provin- "cial W.I. "Alntost everyone has some way in which she can be a leader," said Miss Chapman, "There are, of course, different types of leaders but most of them can be found in every local Branch. There will be one person who can make better pies than anyone else, an- other who is splendid at getting up a paper; or as convenor for ban- quets or programmes. Or in music, quilting or speaking--almost every person in every Institute has some special talent. Sometimes it is ob- vious but there are times when it has to be discovered and develop- ed." Miss Chapman thought one good way for discovering hidden talent was to provide more oppor- tunity for discussion at W.I. meet- ings. It not only brought out ideas but was good training "for think- ing on your feet." The speaker made other pungent ramarks--Op- portunitics for leadership often seemed greater in backward areas; in more thickly populated places leadership was often only the re- sult of @loing the job nearest to you; a leader should let her fellow- members in on her plans; the bet- ter types of leader is also a good follower; she tikes-and is interested in people, and she is never afraid to be friendly." - Miss Chapman mentioned that Rural service by the Victorian Or- der of Nurses was the result of good leadership in Lincoln County, It was a splendid and inspiring address--1 was not surprised to hear two women behind me say onc to the other--*Aliss Chapman is good, isn't she?" "Yes, what she says is so worth- while ahd she is always so easy "to listen to." I might add, they are my sen- 4 timeuts too. Trust MAGIC for sure-fire baking success! 1g tsp.

Be- sides the labor and expense involv- ed, there is often the likelihood that soil diseases and undesirable weed seeds may be introduced. In view of these obvious shortcomings, certain other disadvantages oi using topsoil purchased from outside sources must be taken into account, Despite the problems it may in- tensify, 'there are numerous cases in which the use of topsoil may be the only feasible alternative. It may often be employed in such operations as grading, and to re- place earth which has been lost through the normal process of 3 erosion, In fact, in many sandy lo- cations, especially near the seca- shore, regular replenishment of soil is almost a necessity because of the unusual conditions encoun- tered there. Then, too, many gar- deners want a supply of topsoil for spreading top-dressings. Beware of Weeds Since the composition of topsoil may vary very widely from one location to another, there exist few fixed standards by which the in- experienced buyer may be guided. Countless truckloads of material sold as topsoil have possessed the most unhappy faculty of growing the most luxurient stands of poison ivy, sour grass and assorted swamp flora. In such cases. the good earth may well prove more a blight than a boom. Users of topsoil in quantity, such as municipalities and land- scape contractors, have established minimum standards to describe the product. It should consist of a balanced mixture of no more than 30 per cent each of sand, clay and silt. The acid content should be within the pH range of 5 and 7, and a minimum of 6 per cent should be natural, decomposed or- ganic matter. Furthermore, it should contain no wood, rocks, large roots, or foreign matter of any kind. Only the upper layer, minus the sod is acceptable, Lumps of hardpan or subsoil are looked on- with disfavor. From the viewpoint of determin- ing optimum texture, the screen test is highly significant. When thoroughly dry, 99 per cent should pass through a one-inch screen, and not more than J per. cent should be retained by a quarter- inch mesh. From 40 to 60 per cent should drop through a sieve with openings the size of insect mesh. Visit to Source This is not intended to imply that the home owner must be a soil technologist in order to pur- chase topsoil. Nevertheless, some preliminary investigation is war- ranted before placing an order, If the dealer has a reputation for re- liability, a personal visit tb the source of supply may be sufficient. Earth dug from the tops of knolls and similar high spots should be avoided, for such locations may contain' shallow. deposits. with a high sand and gravel content, from which. much of the organic nutri- ments may have been leached out. Low, wet land should also make the buyer skeptical; it may have excessively sour soil, Topsoil is usually sold 'by t cubic yard, or "by the truckl with the cubic content specifically indicated, Since quotations - will vary with haulage distances, price comparisons should be made am- ong neighboring dealers. And when ordering, it should be understood that the soil is not to be delivered in a frozen or muddy state. . A little 'advance planning may save many extra steps and un- necessary work. The home owner should arrange to have the con- signment unloaded where it is both convenient and accessible. - This may mean laying out planking over which the truck may pass, or clearing away obstructions, Sol should not be piled near open drains, where it may wash away during a rainstorm, Neither should it be allowed to lie on lawns for any length of time, since the grass beneath may burn, Famous Beds "And so to bed . . ." often wrote Pepys. the celebrated diarist; and no doubt with the ending of his day's labour he suited the action to the word by snuggly tucking himself up in his spacious, canopied bed. There, revelling in the luxurious softness of his resting-place, richly hung with red damask, trimmed with fine fringes, the great man perhaps did dwell on the day that was past and the morrow to be. Tut-ank-Amen's consort, too, the lady Ankhesenamun, had a magnifi- cent bed. It rested upon a pair of finely carved enlongated heraldic lions, and had ornate drapings: of finely woven linen spread over a palliasse. No soft downy pillow for her; the lady preferred to sleep on a hard neck-rest of wood! Gold and white was the colour- scheme of Napoleon's Josephine's bedroom, with hangings of yellow satin and bed-cover of green.
