canaries ore back with us again singing their tuneful song tulips are out but daffodils and narcissi are past i tholr best this year i am going to try o new method in dealing with my bulbs at least it is new to me until now i had thought that springflowering bulbs had to be left undisturbed until the green tops had died down recently i have learnt that a bet ter methods is to dig up the bulbs heel them into a trench already prepared and leave them until the tops had withered away then dig up the bulbs again and spread them in a shady place until ready to plnt fall that method gives you a chance to clennr up your borders end get in few annuals where the bulbs were lifted another thing i am glad to re- 1 port is the fact that we have finish- ed seeding johnny came home and helped partner gt it done so that is one- less thing to worry about trio next thing is to get the fences fixed and the cows out to pasture i should asy the next big thing because there are umpteen little jobs still waiting to bo done last tuesday i went to guelph muck against my will as my sole purpose was to buy a hat and there is nothing i dislike so much as that however a friend in the city help ed mc over the ordeal although i we had to visit four stores before j finding anything that would suit me there were plcntyof hats that the milliners would have been happy to sell mc but few that i would have been happy to wear and i had to have something as one of our nieces is being married next saturday lend me your sympathy oh my dear readers for fussy af fairs have never been to my liking maybe i shouldnt call this a fussy affair as it is supposed to be only a small quiet wedding in which case deliver me from a big one it is funny to remember our own wedding partner and i were married in a church that was prac tically empty and the martial tread of partners army boots echoed to the rafters we were even late for the event as in london wc got into some kind of a mixup with train schedules and had to send a wire asking the rector to postpone the ceremony for one hour wc finally made it and it was a beautiful wedding in our estimation after it was over my mother had a won derful lunch waiting for ua cold ham salad and deep apple pie at short notice it was all that war time rations would permit and it was short notice as partner arrived home on leave from europe almost as soon as the wire which announc ed his coming but i digress lets get back to guejph naturally before we could start hathunting wc had to park the car by a parking meter of course we were outside a furriers shop where my friend was taking her coat for storage while we were in there i asked the clerk if she would mind dropping a nickel into the steel contraption when tho hour was up that is if we are not back added my friend back i exclaimed look im shopping for a hat can you pos sibly imagine that its going to take les than an hour well the park ing meter ran into 18c altogether and one violation at that but no ticket thank goodness of course it wasnt all the hat wc got our lunch out of it and a bit of more i shopping as well and there was the time u took running back and i forth to the meter to fill it up again next evening 1 was out to a so cial evening to which i had been invited and everything was most enjoyable the sun was xctung as drove up the mountain and the country was so beautiful it almost took ones breath away it was nice corriing home to swamp frogs singing in the moonlight trees and hedges silhouetted against a summerlsh sky i enjoy ed every minute of my evening out only one thought disturbed me so much peace and beauty and yet how easily it could all be spoilt by a few stray bombs or even one bomb if it happened to be -of- atomic variety why oh why should such things

roughnecks are the men of the drilling crews who probe deep in the earth for oil youll find them in any oilfield doing the hard tedious work that goes into the drilling of every well but roughnecks like it best when the going is toughest and most exciting when they move on to search for oil where it has never been found in alberta the odds are against them only one wildcat well in 20 is likely to be successful working against these odds roughnecks drills have tapped more than a billion barrels of new oil in alberta since 1947 bringing new prosperity and new security to all canada in fact canadians now produce one in every three barrels they uscbut wc still must depend on foreign countries for the other two to be selfsufficient we must have three times our present reserves the
