alto have good used cars priced right chatting with m h b t how the kiddies love st valentines day first of all comes the selection of the val entines im sure that must drive the poor sales girls to distraction then the dithering over the list and lastly the laborious addressing of the colourful little cards the teachers usually have a big valentine mall box in the school room and some times they plan a little party in tho school hours to add more festivity to the occasion tf all these details were re lated to me last tuesday after the party was over our daughter had stayed to help on tho clean up committee but the day had held some dissilluslonment too putting away the debris in the waste basket she noticed quite a number of valen tines in it curiosity prompted her to look at the name signed it was hers and further investigation revealed that a number of the shyer little boys had ditched all their valentines sign ed by girls our little miss took it quite philosophically however guess they didnt want to get teased when they got home said she that same day was a busy one at home during noon hour for the lady of the household it being shrove tuesday i undertook to make pancakes with the prepared mixes on the market the making of the batter is as easy as wink but the cooking is another matter the tem perature of the pan must be just right the correct kind and amount of cooking fat used and the pancakes must be watched every second and served immediately when done this latter point is the salient one the family can eat them faster than i can cook them and the darn things stuck to my pan like glue by the time they re rtady to be turned over the pan is as dry as a chip more shortening needed right away i get one pried off the pan in order to make a space to put the shortening in and while one band is occupied holding the pancake aloft the other putting in the shortening and swlzzling it around the pan into the right places the pancakes remaining in the pan are getting rapidly beyond the welldone stage in fact by the time that opcr ation ib over what i need is a ham mcr and chisel to get them off the bot torn of the pari 0 success finally crowns my efforts however over they go to brown on the other side they look pretty good so i take heart and the warm plates and serve them to the family best bide up the next batch won t hi so difficult i tell mself so in goes the shortening and the batter and the same proc ess starts all over again and hia goes on until each one in the family has three or four while i thank mv luckv stars they art not big pancake taters and i debate whether i really want pancakes badly enough myself to to thru it again you will note that is at least one thing i have learned through experience i do not attempt to eat my pancakes at the same time as trying to cook them but i was hungry and they did look dclieious when they finally got to the table with a big lump of butter and good maple byrup to dress them up so in goes the batter into the pan ag am m m m they were good but all the same they gave me an inferiority complex maybe all i need arc a few lessons from those men who find it so easy to cook them for big crowds in lumber camps and places like that in all the magazine pictures they look so happy and pleased with themselves as they nonchalantly flip the flapjacks way up in the air and they make them by the stack guess i just haven t got the knack anyone like to give me a few pointers o i have often pointed out to friend editor that it would be a good idea to keep a sort of daily diary on interesting

fergus news record dr hugh temp- lin notes the large flocks of evening grosbeaks in the area around fergus many people here have re marked on the lovely birds too they are a pretty sight when you see a flock of about 75 yellow birds fly ing low to congregate together and cluster m the branches of one tree editor templin noticed a particu larly large flock when he was out with his camera recently he said we were able to approach to within ten feet or so the birds aro defin itely evening grosbeaks they are a dullish yellow about seven or eight inches long their wings are black with a wide white band near the bo dy the beak is heavy and conical and nearly white in colour the fern ale is much duller in colour almost a grey there is quite a flock of them what was most unusual about this flock of birds was their apparent unconcern about human beings they were sitting in a srpuce tree eating what looked like buds we took a picture but we were probably too far away anyway the birds weren t ca mcra shy it s not often that a per son can get so close to any of our native birds it is interesting to get a close look page 7 the georgetown h1rald wednesday evening feb 22nd 1086 sibuiih mi ownop

marketing service the prize winning essay follows a memorable experience national 4 h club week 1955 will remain in my memory as one of the most exciting and educational weeks ever spent in my life what a thrill and sense of responsibility i felt when told that my partner and i were to be among the one hundred and eighteen fortunate club members to attend national 4h club week we had not achieved success in our first attempt but how much more experten ccd and more prepared we now were for the first time i fully realized how worthwhile my seven years of club work and my three years of de monstrating and studying had been without the constant support of the dcpt of agriculture the business members and the associate members which constitutcthe canadian council on 4h clubs this adventure in cltl enship would not have been possible to all council members i express my heartfelt appreciation may they in the future witness even greater youth interest in agriculture because of tho enthusiasm aroused at club week during club week i felt a new in tercst in canada and a desire to know my country better this feeling was induced while touring and while talk ing with fellow club members from across canada all our tours planned to the best advantage gave us a broader knowl edge of eastern canada what a thrill while in toronto to view the mediae val styled casa loma castle to sec the largest university in canada to watch a hockey game in the famous maple leaf gardens and to actually attend the royal agricultural winter fair with its champions and its glam ort how exciting it was to view niag ara falls the wonder of which we had heard so much i saw for the first time a large industrial city as i looked down on hamilton from the niagara escarpment while touring ottawa i recalled mi ny of the important historic events which had taken place in that beauti ful old city viewing the historic ri- dcau canal the home of our prime minister the national war memorial and touring the parliament buildings made me more familiar with our capl taldty how pleased the father of confed eration who had worked so diligently to bind our nation tofether would hire been to tee our

proud that canada was a bilingual country the highlight of the trip for me was meeting with fellow 4h era from coast to coast across canada such an interesting geography lesson to hear about the varied livelihoods from fishing in newfoundland on the cast coast to lumbering in british col umbia on the west coast everyone became acquainted quickly and these friendly relations made the week that much more enjoyable wo had left home as individuals from different provinces but in toronto we were one group bound by a common in tercst club week would not have been complete without the competitions it was here that club members proved their knowledge of their bomemaking and agricultural projects and illustra ted the responsibility gained through learning to do by doing keen in terest and a desire to do the best was shown throughout the competitions good sportsmanship prevailed attending national club week has brought me a greater knowledge of canada and her people as i learned of others across canada i gained a better understanding of their prob lems i believe it is this undertand- mg which will in the future make canada a more prosperous nation at tending club week has also made me realize how important 4h club work is to canada as a whole and how im portant it is that i and other former 4 h members become 4- leaders booth taxi your as surance of prompt cour
