Risk Seen In . Grass Trimming The inventors of new-fangled lawn mowers had conferred, I thought, a great boon, and then I heard what happened over at the cemetery just before Memorial Day, John Gould writes in The Christian Science Monitor. ~The town has been accepting bequests for perpetual care for a good many years, and the fund as evidently built up so some- body thought a new self-winding Jawn mower would be a good in- vestment. Shortly the putt - putt was echoing among the ancient headstones, and many words of approval were spoken by the boys who groom the yard. LEAPS INTO ACTION Then the monster struck back. One of the fellows : trusted with spending the perpetual - care in- come braced himself and gave the struggle-string a hefty haul, hereupon the engine leaped into tion, Since the throttle was open, the leap was forthright. First, the lawn mower cut the toecaps off the gentleman's boots, leaving his socks aghast at the enormous- ness of the outside world and making his toes feel that they had been surprised. The accident was of such an unexpected nature, and the dam- age so bizarre, that the crew stood for a moment to survey the scene. During this moment the lawn mower struck off across country, seaming to Smiths, Barkers, Bab- cocks and Puringtons, and finally coming to a crashing halt against the broken - column monument of Capt. Jeremiah K. Rising, 1788- I don't know any more about it than that, although I have seen Joe's boots. The story is that the annual accounting of the Trustees of the Cemetery Fund will show a disbursement this year to the amount of one pair of shoes, un- der Upkeep of Equipment. The speed with which grass lifts itself skyward has always seemed to me the best argument against keeping a lawn. The utmost ur- gency of nature is expended in making the stuff grow and man's attempts at countermeasures, no matter how they putt-putt, are so feeble. In most matters I am will- ing to try, but keeping ahead of the grasscrop for esthetic pur- es strikes me as one more abor for Hercules, one more frus- tration for Tantalus. TOO VALUABPEE Resides. several generations of down-east farming have condition- ed my attitude, and I'm still stick- ing with the old idea that grass is too valuable to cut, and grass- land too valuable to devote to frivolous greenery. Times have changed, and I might not be able to defend that opinion if sued in open court. In the old days we finished hay- ing about the last of July, and if anybody then asked, "Done hay- ing yet' the answer would be "Just the dooryard grass, and buttoning the "doors." Dooryard grass. called for scythe work, and this was to the old farmer what mowing the lawn is to the new home - owner. In spite of paternal warnings to keep out of the grass until it was mowed, children spent a good space of time every spring retrieving this and that from the vicinity. Some things didn't get retriev- ed such as pickle jars, strands of wire, slats and such, and par- ticularly barrel hoops, both wood and metal. So what with lodged grass, surprises, and the type of hay that grows best in a door- yards the farmer had a few days of somewhat exacting work. TILT WITH HOOP I remember one year that somebody mowed a metal barrel hoop right under the front-room window where the Shining Light Club was tacking a quilt. The gentleman concerned addressed himself to the hoop, then at the world in general, and finally at everybody in particular. Then he cast the hoop from him and ran his thumb along the edge of the scythe. He thus discovered that barrel hoops can dull the edge of husbandry, and he concluded his oration and started for the grindstone. On his way, he chanc- ed to find the hoop again, this time by inserting one foot in it and then trying to step ahead with the other. GAME BIRDS SIMCOE, Ont.

Masses of Information In Canada's Libraries By JEAN THOMPSON Canadian Press Staf Writer TORONTO (CP) -- Behind-the- scenes librarians whose work chan- nels facts and figures for use in business and industry will meet here from many parts of Canada and the United States for their 44th annual convention, June 22-25. Members of Special Libraries Association, they organize the mas- ses of printed matter and records tapped daily by executives in banking, mining, newspaper, in- surance and other fields. Canadian members represent more than 300 libraries as far apart as Trail, B.C., and Halifax. American bers in 25 chapters help to make up the total mem- bership of approximately 5,000. President of SLA is Elizabeth Ferguson, librarian of the Institute of Life Insurance, New York. Con- vention chajrman is Pauline Hut- chison, librarian of the Canada Life Assurance Company, Toronto. TO ADDRESS DELEGATES Prominent figures in Canadian public life will speak at the con- vention. A. D. Dunton, chairman of the board of governors of the Canadian Broadcasting - Corporat- ion, is to address the convention banquet. Dr. R. C. Wallace, pres- ident-emeritus of Queen's Univer- sity, Earl S. Neal, a director of Imperial Oil Limited, and Mrs. Adelaide Sinclair from the depart- ment of national health and wel- fare among others will speak to convention 'divisions. The stock in trade of member libraries presents an amazing var- iety. The library of the Consoli- dated Mining and Smelting Com- pany at Trail is the outstanding mining library in Canada. There, collected for quick reference or study, are books and periodicals on the industry and its latest de- velopments. Engineers and geolo- gists keep up to date on technical aspects of one of Canada's fast- growing basic industries. The International Nickel .Com- pany library in Toronto keeps up a collection of laboratory reports on corrosion problems .in connec- tion with metals, as well as a pic- ture collection and films. Research workers in Prairie ag- riculture can draw on a well- rounded collection of books and technical magazines from the Prai- rie regional laboratory at Saska- toon, while the Ontario Agricultu- ral College library at Guelph, Ont., houses a collection of books second in its field only to the department of agriculture library in Ottawa. MILLIONS OF CLIPPINGS Backbone of the three Toronto daily newspaper libraries is a total collection of millions of classified clippings added to daily. Meat- packing company libraries provide information on food and biochemis- try and on the industry's bypro- ducts used in modern medicine. The library of the Law Society of Upper Canada at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, has more than 100,000 volumes, the largest strictly law library in Canada. Largest mili- tary library in the country is at the Royal Canadian Military Insts- tute which houses 12,600 strict naval, military and air force vol umes. The hydro-electric power com. mission of Ontario carries a cur rent subscription list of 400 period icals, while the Chinese library at the Royal Ontario Museum has 30. 000 volumes in the department of East Asiatic studies. Librarians who supervise collec tions of such diversified informa tion differ from public librarians wr that each works in a specializee field, organizing it as an effective tool to meet the needs of business, science and the arts.
