wonderful and so often when you dont even know they are right behind you nun tally hoping that things will go well When 1 first decided to Jot down notations on son Kevins departure to Israel some months ago 1 questioned my right lo ab sorb space by writing about personal family escapades I was able to Justify such self- indulgent however that Kevin story might relate either to parents whose ttiildren had a similar plunge or were about to take it or from the of those walling at home not knowing which way to turn Not wishing to flog a dead horse may I say that it has amazed me Just how interested people have been in his welfare Numerous tails and visits have to me the way that people do tare about each other and the well being of their friends and fellow citizens Many have requested information on who to all in of similar difficulties and others have asked that they be kept in touch so I thought that a few more words on the subject will suffice until sometime hopefully in June when Kevin will return home to give his own first hand account of his actual travels Know your embassies Noted here is the fact that parents should be aware of the Embassies and what they represent My first knowledge of their interest was a telephone call from the Department of Affairs in Ottawa relaying messages from In Tel Aviv when Kevin had not arrived there for his assignment to the kibbutz

exercising your horse In winter last week I know a man has horses and he keeps them in all winter They never go out from November to May and yet they seem to be healthy Why bother to keep putting them out if you dont need to Answer How would you like to be tied in a stall or six or seven months The practice of keeping horses ui all winter is unfortunately all too common sometimes because of of help or the mistaken idea that the cold will hurt the poor wee creatures No animal thrives without exercise including the human animal A horse cannot assimilate its rood without exercise and requires even more feed to stay in good flesh its legs will stock up with strain and muscles will atrophy It will be subject to colds and wind troubles without fresh air Not to mention that the animal will be very short tempered and fretful without a chance to kick and play It horse can run out every day he will be healthy and will have only 13 hours manure to shovel instead of 24 hours Now that spring is coming my bone her hair and looks a met Should I dip her to get rid of the old winter Answer It is not advisable to clip at this tune of year unless you have blankets and heat tamps The weather can be

When the mud has dried up clip the long feathers on her tegs leaving a silky wisp to drain the water off the pastern joint Wash her tail and she will look very smart ail ready to go oat and roll in a nice muddy patch There are some exceptions to the dont clip in spring rule Many ponies and donkcs grow such enormous coots that they never shed out until July In these cases a clipping in late May

February last year only inquiries had been received the liaison the youthful wanderers and their families at home rwo days after I hud received Kevin last letter after his final arrival in Aviv about which I wrote last week I received call from Ottawa They attempted to contact Kevin and find his whereabouts as I had written to them earlier concerned a scries of telegrams and other means of communications they had established that he had not arrived in the kibbutz as planned and were about to publish In newspapers to locate his whereabouts In other words our nudum embassies are assisting us in looking after our kids when Ihty re so fur and believe me this Is lo know In talking to Mr Gardiner Wilson in Ottawa I learned that if parents are worried they delve dig and try very hard to find their whereabouts using discretion and are also to give them advice on measures of action In Kevin ease be had found a job and was established and had not reported to the embassy and when I told Mr Wilson where he he was delighted Gardiner Wilson is presently being tranbferred to in in and said that he would like vtry much to have Kevin drop in to see him on his way home Goes to Kibbutz From Aviv in Israel Monday morning at m a call from He told us that he bad decided to move into a kibbutz after all Seem that he would never really I understand or be able lo relate his knowledge of life with the unless he had spent at least some weeks with them and its that had been his original I intent had decided to work In the kibbutz for at least a short time Very briefly he outlined some tremendous and exciting prospects which had been offered to him but felt that he would have to get home and get his future I plans in order before taking any i immediate steps He plans to be back in Rock wood some time in early June but this homecoming date would of course be dependent on the time it took him lo backtrack get back to and fly home So thats the way It is The Gardiner Wilson feels
