In this cannectian, we had an interesting experience at the Statesman office one day. Answening the 'phone with the usual "Statesman Office," we were greeted with this astounding request: "ýI'd like a boý," said a pleasant feminine voice. Now the Statesman is used ta ail sorts of unusual requests. It often acta as an unofficial infor- mation bureau. "Wbere do I vote?" someone wants ta know. "What time do the London buses came thraugh?" "Did Billy Smith pasa bis music exams?" "What was that number ta 'phone if I bave rooms ta let ta the Texas ail people?" and s0 on. But a boy-"I'd like a boy"- juat like that. We didn't knaw if the lady was stating ber prefer- ence in babies or what. One thing sure, we didn't have any bgys, either ta give away or seil. Thinking aur cars bad deceived us, and aftcr an amazcd silence whilc ail these thaughts flew tbrough aur hcad we said incred- uiausly, "Pardon?" "I'd like a bay for this after- noon," the picasant voice stated calmly. With that, the ligbt dawned. The lady thougbt she bad the Training Scbool for Boys wbich allows some of its lads ta wark out around town. Wc gentiy in- fonmcd ber of ber mistake and told ber she bad the wrang num- ber.

A Canadian engineen was the inventan af the Standard Tîme systemn in use al aven the warld today, it is pointed out in the new edition af Quick Canadian Facta, the handbook of facta about this cauntry. Sir Sandford FIemn- ing fhought the acheme up in 1878 as a device fan simplifying the chores ai authons and readers of railroad timetables. Until Fleming's acheme was adopted every district on large commun- ity in the worid operated on its awn local mean time and every nailroad in North Amenica had its awn time systcmn or, if they were large enough, time systems. Canada bas seven standard time zones and the difference between the moat casterly, Newfoundland, and the most westcnly, Yukon, is five and a balf hours. The above and manv other in- tere sting facts are reported in the eightb annual edition of Quick Canadian Facta, for instance: Do more Canadians live in the country or the city?

Mechanization of agricul- ture in some areas is helpful, but when one realizes that if Britain in its entirety were a cake of ice, it would float around in Lake Superior-sef-contained for the British Isles is a mis-nomer. She must, apart from, food- stuffs, import raw materials, man- ufacture goods and seli back over double transportation costs at a profit while labor at home is crying aloud as neyer before for more wages and less hours. I don't envy the task of any Brit- ish Premier. But in conclusion, I hasten to add that despite so many short- ages, British people's hospitality is greater than I have seen else- where. They are stili undaunted in hopes for the future and if In- ternational justice is ever meted out, somehow she will recover, for twice in recent world wars has she sacrificed as none others have to save Humanity frorn bar- banic siaver , and Civilization from senseless devastation. L. B. Williams At the 1951 census Canada had 1,306,634 horses. less than haîf as many as in 1941.

One father and son team. after 40 years of ob- serving becs under varying con- ditions, credit each working udt'e bec with an average day of eIgh1ý hours gathcning honey at the rate of 20 flowers per minute and. 20 minutes an average trip. Another authority, reports C-I-L Agricultural News, rates bec activity slightly lower.

Fromn other slm- ilar observations it xvas conclud- ed that a bce's working hours werc detenmined by the timè of day flowers surrounding the hive yielded the most nectar. Some yield moat af the day whlle others, such as buckwbeat, anly part af the day. Same biossomas close early in the aitemnoon and do not oapen until late in the mamning. Sugar content af nectar varies in different kinda aof fawers or in flowers af the samne specles fram season ta season or even In the samne fiower fram day ta day. The distance of the source of nectar fram the bive ia another important factor in honey pro. duction. Becs will go eight miles if they cannot find nectar near- er home. But because ai bast time and rcduced load, this is flot profitable and becs prefer ta work a source of nectar with a low sugar content near the hive bef are they will f iy ta flowers with a swccter nectar much fan- ther away. 1
