The only tbing mis&- ing was a big black nake whip in the bands of aur slave dri- ver. When Bob and 1 go out in Company, we keep aur bands in our pockets, because we are so ashamed of our red, dishpan banda. It îsn't natural for our nails to be without that dark ring around the edges whicb is always associated with men who have to earn their living bonestly.

Th.at what HE thinks! It has just the opposite e: fect on me. In the past, whe we removed the casts off ou children's broken bones, w used a variety o! tools, a bac saw blade, keyhole saw, bui cher knife, scissors, claw hanr mer and pincers. But when it came my turi recently, at Bowmanville Hoà pital, Dr. Rundle plugged i a two-inch circular saw, an deftly sliced the cast fror thigh to toes. Every time bollered he knew he was dow, to my hide, then wouid mov to a f resh spot. If the queer looking leg tha emerged from the cast hadn' been fastened to the rest a me, I would have thoughti belonged to a stranger. IV colon was a cross between helio trope and Chinese red, wa shapeless, needed washing covered with a kind of sciai that made me think the bai: had developed dandruf!. By losing the walking cast and having a bend in the leg 1 seemed to be about three in. ches short on that side, makinî me walk cock-eyed. A trip ta the bospital as us- ually educational. iLe., baci here on the Ridge when wE use hot water and a rag, that'. just what we caîl it, but at thE bospital, the nurses cail itE bot fomentation (a twa dollai word if I ever heard one.) When Rev. Nicholson left thE local house of aches and pains, be said the nurses lined up be- hind him to bid a smiling fare- well. As a matter o! fact, they lined up behind me, but by their grim expressions. I bac the opinion they were lined up enmasse to prevent me retura- ingta the ward. fi the technician takes many more X-ray pictures o! my right bind leg, we will be able to go into business, jogging around ta one nigbt stands, where she could bandle the magic lantern, while I gave a spiel on before and after. A man around the bouse with one leg in a cast can be'/an awful bore (hope tbat's the right spelling), but if the housewife is wise be can be coerced or bullied into utilizing bis spare time profitably. Between the bad roads, the bad weather, and my bad leg, 1fgrdon baving a comfort- al onth of March, stnetch- ed out on the chesterfîeld with some good books, a pound of tobqcco, and the favourite bub- bly old briar. I even consider- ed rigging up a trip wire so the boss couldn't catch me liv- ing it up. On the very first day of March, when Butch came downstairs witb that peculiar "housecleaning" glint in ber eye I knew my plans bad gone awry. Ondinarily. Bob and I would have sneaked o!ff to the woods, had we net got caughit discussing the punk weather and roads. Within a short time, Bob was teetering on a plank washing a bed room ceiling, and 1 was the stooge who bad to wring out the sponge and hand it to him. As we have six large rooms, plus a batbroom, and as my ball and chain de- creed that all ceiliags, walls, woodwork, and floors had ta be thoroughly washed and painted, you know bow poor Bob and I spent the merny month of March-houseclean- îng. Man, but that's onc aggrava- tmng, humiliating, nauseating job. We locked the doors, and pulled the blinds so no one could catch us daiag such de- grading work. I guess it's O. K. for women. but for mea- nix. In spite o! pointing out that my rigbt leg, because of the cast,. was inflexible, tbus not allowing me to do certain things.

Norman J. Scott, owner of the nurseries, recently received an order for 12 Cortland and 2 Melba apple trees fromn Rob- ert Kfoury o! Liban, Khan- chara, Lebanon. In bis letter Mr. Kfoury stated that be had received a copy of the aur- sery's catalogue fromn the com- merciai attache of the Canadian Legation in Lebanon. The or- der followed, and he assured the nursery in bis letter that a further substantial, order could be expected in the faîl. The $40 charge for the trees was patd for by a cheque drawn on the British Bank o! the Middle East in Beirut, a large city in Lebanon. This cheque is about twice as large in size as the cheques used in Canada and the United States. Red Tape Involved Mr. Scott stated that there la coasiderable reçl tape in- volved in shipping trees or plants to a foreign country. The importer in the foreign coun- try must first get an*imp ont permit to bring in the trees. Then the trees must bé inspect- ed by an officer of the De- partment o! Plant Inspection Who usuàlly comes down fromn the Toronto Office. He inspects not only the trees, but also the packing material to make sure that it is sterile. When the trees have been certified free o! disease and iasects, special export invoices are issued. The same procedure of inspection must then be gone througlh when the trees arrive at their destination. Mr. Scott says that a large number of shipments are made by the Brookdale-RnK wa Nurseries to the UniedirStates, but not many are made to countries overseas. Sound Films Used 9 Bowmanville schools do not passess a tape recorder, but there is anc sound mavie pro- jector for the three public schools, and films chasen by the teachers and obtained from the Department o! Education are sbown once every two weeks. A. M. Thompson, Supervising Principal, adviscd. Films are availabie an almost every sub- ject taugbt. The teacher is ad- vised o! what film or films Lwill be available in ber ciass- room that week and prelimin- ary lessons are often given, fol- lowed by questions on the blackboard aftcr shawing o! the film. ,Film strips are alsa used li Bowmanviile scbools, a prajec- ton being available for each school. Bowmanville schools have their own film library o! aven 300 titles in film stripsA These are considcred anc o! the . best aids in tcaching ta- day. Use of the tape recarder, whcneby Mn.

Mr. Neil Nelson, ca-ordinator of this type of work an HoiN- ard Park Public Scbool, Toron- to, prepared the pnognam. 0w- ing to a univensity examination, Mr. Nelson who has visited the Bowmanville Association he- fore, could not be present, but hie had prepared an interesting script by means of a tape ne- cording which was played back on bis own equipment brought down by Mn. Nelson's father. Mn. Harold J. Nelson, and brother Jack. Scniit Played A portion of the script gave a story of the Great Blue Her- on, as presented on the radio program, "Young Canada Lis- tens". This demonstrated how chidrea may be taught lessons in Natural Science by this me- thod, foilowed up witb leaflets handed out on wbich children would answer questions on the story. Such leaflets bad been prepared by Mr. Nelson and were distributed ta parents. At other points in the script, the recording was stopped, and two saund films, anc on Pan- ama and one on Yellowknife, were shown ta illustrate how this type of audio and. visual aid is used in ciassrooms for Social Studies. Mr. Nelson had also prcpared questions on the Panama film which were band- ed out ta parents ta show how such fims, available taail] schools in Ontario, may be fol- .owed up in the classroom. Mr. Nelson's recording clos- ed by poînting out that most people remember more by see- ing than they do by either reading on hearing.
