planting 9 your bulbs for winter blooming this year they win be tended with- greater care and their beauty tod fragrance more appreci ated than in years past because of the difficulty with which they are now obtained in canada holland has long bew famous for the quality and quantity of the bulbs she has grown am exported how many of her finest bums have been plowed under and the fields used to grow iood for ner nasi masters a britain in recent years has deen producing bulbs commercially in smajler way and it is from her limited stock that we have obtained most of the supplies available on the market a fe are grown locally some come from feittah columbia and some from florida paperwhite narcissus if planted now will be in bloom for christ mas fiifmyqiotogy narcissus was a youth who was doomed to pine away foraove of his own image until finally changed into a sweetsmell ing nowevnarcis6us seem to do especially well when planted in water the bulbs are supported by stones coloured ones preferably the water should be kept at a level just below the base of the bulb the roots then grow down to the water if a little charcoal is added it helps to keep the water sweet beet results are obtained when they are kept in a temperature of 50 to bo degrees f bulb fibre is being used successfully for planting in ornamental bowls where there is no drainage freeeias french iris chinese lilies and narcissus all do well when planted in this way the fibre should be damp but not wet fill the bowls half full place the bowls in a cool dark place and water them sparingly at the end of four or five weeks they may be brought out into the light if a little grass seed is sprinkled over the fibre it will soon germinate and make an attractive background for the bums when they bloom other bulbs the daffodils jonquils hvaclnths tulips crocus calla lilies and easter lilies seem to do best when planted in soil the pots should have a small opening for drainage aifd stones should be placed in the bottom the best soil is a rich loam bulbs should be planted about two inches apart one variety only in each pot and covered with soil so that just the tips are visible they too should be kept in a cool dark place for four or live weeks or longer and watered sparingly after being brught into the light they require more water the indoor culture of bulbs brings more than sufficient recompense for all the time and effort it requires when days are dullest and winter coldest then you most enjoy the delicate flowers and their delightful odours if bowls of bulbs aie brought into the light at twoweek intervals you will be assured of a continuation of bloom throughout the winter months the opportunity shop women are using all their ingenuity these days searching for new ways to raise funds for their pet war charities the timehonoured tea bazaar and rummage sale are still fayoured ways of extracting quar ters from a generous public but something new is often apt to meet with unexpected success the- opportunity shop is not by any means a recent idea but if you have not tried it out in your town do consider its possibilities the object is to collert hings fom people who ao not want them and sell them to others who do want them there are almost no expenses so the proceeds are all gravy almost every town has an empty store on the main street and in niot cases the owner will be willing to donate it to yo i frc- ol charge as his contribution to our war effort if there lsn t you may obtain a small corner in one or the large stores or the use ol som hall for your- shop one half day a week will likely be all jou will find it ncessary to stay open to dispose of your stock probably saturday afternoon just after the local pa day is of course always a good time to ask the public to spend money then for your stock ask each member of your society to con tribute any article around her home that she no longer uses you will be surprised at the variety and loveliness of the things brought in un wanted bridge prizes white elephants any of the numerous odds and ends that seem to collect even after a fetw years of keeping house cups and saucers vases bowls ashtrays book nnd p ctarcs low ms 01 hand kerchiefs that do not fit your colour scheme novelty jewelry that you are tired of all will find ready buyers among others that can use them if you are ambitious to make the shop a real success you can enlarge on the basic plan by asking friends of the members to help you out with contributions or by making a canvass of the whole town for articles for sale or you can turn your shop into a glorified bazaar and ask your members for contributions of their own work some women may be good at starting slips from plants and donate some nicely rooted for sale another may make tiny pairs of mitts for knitting needles from bits ol feet embroidered with bright wool probably one saturday between now and christmas vou could arrange to have a home baking sale another saturday canned fruits and pickles another fancy work if you have enough accommodation you might serve tea each saturday afternoon or maybe have a larger tea some special saturday these are only a few suggestions tor running an opportunity shop if you undertake this project your members will no doubt be able to propose many other unique ideas to help make it a success the one essential is tha a capable committee be appointed to look after the collection pricing and sale of the articles donated from now until christmas should be an ideal time of year to open such a shop by then you will probably find you have collected all the white elephants available in the town and that your bank account is in a most satisfactory condi tion t t t t l memory holdthe door tbe autobiography of john bachan fortunate are we that lord tweedsmuir was able to finish his memorable autobiography before his life was so suddenly cut short through his book readers will learn to know more intimately this man who began life as a simple son of the scottish manse but who not only gained fame for himself in the world of letters but lived to hold one of the highest offices in tie gift of our empire he tells us that in hs childhood he experienced his love of nature and its beauties first as he roamed the fields and woodlands near his home in the valley of the tweed he tells us of his life at oxford a student of la of being privatesecretary to lord milner in south africa of the days h urn prlw-4ii- thruih11chin flrtn nf tfwtmrt nelson in london of his experience in the british intelligence service during the last war of his appointment as representative of the scottish universities in the house of commons his comments on his friends and contemporaries are illuminating by oh he will perhaps be best remembered as a novelist and as governorgeneral of canada john buchan was a man for whom life was never flat or meaning less he partook of all it had to offer he had a genius for making friends he is admired for his great gifts and his vision revered for his beauty of character and beloied by all classes for his charm and human- heartednecs as wi read his book we are impressed by his great faith and his unquenchable optimism the closing pages are shadowed by the present war he reminds us that things we have taken for granted are in dan ger of being destroyed stable law freedom to believe to write to say what we want a system of government that gives the ultimate power to the ordinary man but john buchan was never a defeatist be aays we have been shaken out of our smugness and warned of our great peril and in that warning lies salvation he foresaw the possibility of an angloamerican partnership he says if the world is ever to have prosperity and peace there must be some kind of federation i

experi ence of armistice day 1918 will never forget it we were determined to build a new and better world the lesson for armistice sunday 1940 was chosen in 193s- a year before the outbreak of war the teaching of jesus about loving enemlesldlng those who hate blessing those that swear at us and praying for those who bomb us ap pears rather incongruous for discussion on november 10th 1940 yet the war but demonstrates the impossibility of human society being permanently gov erned by principles of greed hate and cruelty to organize society efficiently is difficult enough even in an atmos phere of goodwill christ alone can help lis to rise above personal family and national ambitions to consider the welfare of humanity as a whole we can never be satisfied with the present social order in which one nation is glutted with grain and other nations are starving for lack of food the principle of goodwill requires us to use rteaurces of wealth and skill to give widespread security and plenty

future world policies the golden rule 31 the gtlden rule is practical because it may be easily applied an inner voice tells us quickly when we are acting in anti social ways what we do not like others do not like either what is pood for us is probably good for others also it is always an inter estlng experiment to try to live for a week or even a day by the golden rule there can be no cross words
