little sleep and apparently people are the same wherever yof go town country or iakeshore-r- in offices stores factories farms and homes houses may be insul ated and protected from the hot glare of the sun but little can be done against the humidity it seeps in everywhere dampens your clothes the bedlinen walls and furniture outside there often seems o be a nice breeze blowing but humidity comes with the breeze and the remedy keep working and forget about it the heat the humidity and all that goes with it brave words and of course most of us keep on working but forget that its hot thats another story however it may be some consolation to realize that in ont ario we are all in the same boat and that grumbling absorbs more energy than acceptance there used to be a philosophic expression that was popular many years ago in times of stress people would say oh well theres worse troubles at sea that was in the days when shipping hazards were far greater than they are now to day we might well say theres worse troubles in the states when we hear of pennsylvania and four of the other states devastated by such terrible floods we immed iately think how little we have to crumble about the heat will pass and if it is all we have to contend with we should be thankful indeed i suppose instead of complain ing we should concentrate on making working conditions as pain less as possible for those about us and to give a thought tt the dumb creatures that happen to be our responsibility it is easy to be shorttemepred and take it out on those wjth whom we work or live to insist on perfection at a time when perfection is practically impossible and what of the animals the cows left out in a shadeless pasture exposed to the merciless sun smtdeeaonotsuddenly be provided in fields where there are no trees but surely the barnyard could be left open during the heat ofthe day cattle will always make for a shady spot even if it is only the leeside of a building that was something i noticed when flying from montreal to malton airport certain sections of the country that were so ruthlessly neat and tidy no hedgerows very few trees cattle pasturing in wirefenced fields and howtnuch shade does a wire fence give then we have our domestic an imals have they access to drink ing water at all times even a cat likes water in hot weather are dogs tied up unnecessarily or con fined in a place without shade our latest dog rusty came from a sixroomed house in a new sub division the reason his former owner let him go was because except for an exercise period dur ing the evening the dog had to be kept either tied up outside j or shut up in the house mostly h wa in the house he is a bigdeg and it was during the first hot spell the people realized it would be impos sible to keep him he was getting bigger all the time inclined to be cross under confinement and at odd times when he broke loose the neighbors complained and probab ly with reason now r has the run of the farm and is proving to be a good watch dog he is very rarelyticd up and is quite easy for us to handle but he wont allow strang ers to take any liberties 1 am sure h must be much happier than he

guide trapper farmer and plasterer he homesteaded in 1907 and kept his farm until he rented it in 1043 in his spare time from farming he worked at his other trades his most exciting job was as a game guide he took new york to ronto boston and chicago business men through the wilds of northern saskatchewan in search of game es pecially moose some of the fellows i guided would wound a moose and then stand petrified as the animal charg ed toward them biuy smith says then- it was up to me to get my rifle firing as fast as possible one fellow stood only 20 feet from a wounded moose when the animal finally fell dead he says a wounded or mating moose can kill amap with one sweep of its hoof when he first settled on his home stead he had no money for imple ments he tried his hand at trap ping to earn enough to get his farm going and spent two years on a tratv line beaver muskrat lynx fox marten and fisher were his main catches owned store here ieel cadi passes a former peel county magistrate

big dog not in ontario any way in england it 1sya different matter over there dogs dont haveto be- tied- up- it must surely be a canine paradise every second family seems to own a dog but ih spite of the fact that confinement is not legally necessary the dogs seem to be very much under control of course they have fraternity gatherings on the street and occasionally like to bury a bone in a neighbors garden bul since so many people keep dogs there is little complaining perhaps one reason why the dogs give so little trouble is because most of ttiem have good pedigrees natural ly a person owning a well bred dog lsnt going to take chances n having it kurt or stolen as a re- suit it is properly trained fed and cared for speaking of creatures of the an imal world i hear the london ontario district has been invaded by large insects called the praying mantis a predatory insect that destroys many of our more injur ious pests i have always been at tracted by the praying mantis it has an interesting history which includes legends and superstitioni emanating from the ancient greeks who thought it possessed super natural powers it made its first appearance in ontario in 1014 its numbers haveincreased consid erably since that date r 1 v ifemfeifetiiiife
