told you about mr and mrs jaap and their daughter and son-in- law mr and mrsdougie crabtree recently arrived in canada from manchester england moving into the brick bungalow on albert street just vacated by the howells we had further interesting information for- you concerning the family jaaps but it was just too late for the columndeadune however it still remains just as interesting this week as last at least it was very interesting io us for it happened to be the first time we had ever re ceived any firsthand infornoation about what it is like to live in south africa sir and mrs jaap and their daughter lived in johan nesburg south africa or a good many years before going back to england to make their home in reply to our query as to whether shel iked living on the other side of the world mrs- crabtree answered an em phatic yes of course the climate is very warm there but not so humid as here when hot weather comes and as a result the heat is easier to bear we asked about the rainy season and found that it lasts eight months of the year when it rains from ten minutes to half an hour every day and then clears again in winter the weather is dry warm and very pleasant in cidentally mrs crabtree is looking forward to seeing our canadian snow she has never seen it in any quantity before to go back to south africa for a moment mrs crabtree tells us it is definitely a wo- mans country there the white women at any rate lead a life of ease with servants to attend to all the household tasks we asked about the fabulous diamond and gold mines near joh- i sl yovr tt eepmsw ttti emblem of a othuiued b iecttlciam whitmee electric rnone k4w r j contractor georgetown anneshurg and wondered if she had ever seen a diamond in trie roufeh her answer was in the affirmative but she said the diamonds have no particular lustre before being cut and polished knowing that if we should ever travel in that part of the world we would never be so venturesome tievertheless we asked mrs crabtree jf the family had ever been in the dense afrir can jungle they have been on what is called 6afari many times through the jungle in the belgian congo where they saw wild ele- p croewtlesfhippopotami and snakes of all sizes and colours the safari is organized for shooting wild game particularly an animal known as springbok south africans line this delicacy very much particur larly after it is dried and cured when it is called biltong- when fully cured the biltong is hard and black and to eat it it must be gra ted it is used in a great many ways from merely sprinkling some on bread and butter to buying a bagful to eat in a picture show like we do popcorn or peanuts here s the safari travels with guides by station wagons which are known as safari in south africa after camp is made the hunters are expected to stay with in it protective bounds most of the time and we might add they would have no difficulty in making us adhere to that rule we enjoy hearing about it but the jungle is not for us it just occurred to us that we forgot to mention last week that mr crabtree is employed at alli ance paper mills ltd coming back to the cana dian scene those wonder ful old standbys and favour ite of tely columnist thomas rich ard henry petunias have come into their own again making the gardens of many homes a riot of colour we are still comparatively new at gardening and the planting of many flowers is still a novelty each year we try to plant some new variety so that we may watch its growth with interest or amareracnl as the case may be one that defin itely comes in the latter category is this years pi in ting of salvia half the plants definitely look like salvia as we remember seeing it grow in other peoples gardens the other half dozen plnts are mongrels instead of that brilliant crimson bloom nestled among glossy green leaves these misfits in the flower kingdom chose to sprout a long thick stem from the fop of the plant the summit of which is crowned with apuny orange midget zinnia measuring in all about three inches across and not only that now that the plants have reached a degree of maturity we can see that even the foliage is quite un lovely to put it mildly and the whole row of them are mute testi monials to thewisdom of plants keeping to a strict moral code they are uglier than most weeds striking a more beautiful note re gardens happened to have occasion to call at mr and mrs ed peters home on the mill road last week we hadnt been past the house for years v well in the ast seven anyway which is the length of time the pet ers have owned the place and in those yriars t he jeters family have created ojuite a little fruit farm and truck garden as well as a lovely lawn and flowers theyoung fruit trees vineyard and gardens are well- toward the back of the house and when you choose to lift- you eyes from the contemplation of the at tractive vistas close at hand you will see a most glorious view of the glen valley stretching up and into the caledon hills the day we were there was extremely warm and the visibility was excellent there was a pleasant breeze to be found no where else in town well wager and all in all it was a delightful place to visit to descend to what one might call the ridiculous from the sublime the weekend saw friend husband doing a few little odd jobs around the house now wait a minute we know that isnt exactly ridiculous but the point is that one of those jobs was installing a new seat on a bath room fixture we opened the box it came in and read the large adver tising sheet
