We tien learncd that, he had emigrated ta this countrY from bis native Switz- erland. Later on, Butch and I were dinner guests (supper, ta you hayseeds> at the home of ,Mr. and Mrs. George James, where we met Mr. Marti in persan. He had %just returned from the British Wcst Indies wbere he had taken, and planted some rose bushes frorn bis Bowman- -ville collection. We were impressed with bis unusual knowledge of horticul- ture, and enjoyed bis very in- teresting accounit af the tech- oiuea gettîng rose bushes hruh the customs offices. In the few years he bas been In Canada, he bas created a large demand for dwarf and semi dwarf apple trees. His un- usual method o! pruning apple trees, which bas proven sa suc- cesaful in Europe, bas won him considerable fame bere, and, unless I'm badly mistaken, wili stamp him as anc of the truly top orchardists in bis adopted country-Canada. Like other readers of this paper, I have, in the past, en- joyed arUcles written by Miss Betty King, of Jamaica, B.W.I., particulariy ber vivid account of Princess Margaret's visit ta the Indies.

Here's a short *story that proves that sentiment still basi a place in our lives. Because of possible embarrassament, no» naines wil4 be mentioned. About a year ago, a Durhup County farmer decided 'ta re- tire. He sold bis farin, and be- cause he bad raised thefta from colts, gave bis over tWenty year old team. to the new qwz- ers, on the understanding that the gee-gecs were ta bave a good home, were noVtato be traded or sold, and when they. werc no longer useful, were ta be destroyed. Somchow, the rumour got araund recently that, the aid faitbfuis were going ta be sold as fox meat. Sa their former owner, the retîred farmer, lost no time in buying back bis aid friends, and baving tbem pain- lessly destroyed. Some folks cdaim that senti- ment and business don't mix. But here is a case where a man appreciated a pair of dumb ani- mals so much, he wouldn't sell tbem, but gave them away on certain conditions, and when those termis were being abrogat- cd, paid 'out bard cash, in or- der ta again own bis faithful friends, and sce that they were put beyond ail misery. A lot of readers of this col- umn have quizzed me as ta, how the doctors came ta be at thp Malton Rebab., if they work full or part time; if tbey work gratis, or receive a saiary. Weil, generaliy speaking, the doctors need a job. Then too, ...ey are very anxious ta ac- quire the type of experience whicb is offered in an organiza- tion sucb as this. Many of themn believe that experience in cer- tain types of orthopaedic work is essential as weli as experi- ence in the administration of physical medicine. Accordingly such doctons make personal application to the Workmen's Compensation Board, and if their qualifica- tions are satîsfactory, may be taken on staff and paid a rea- sonably good saiany. Their ser- vices are full time. Some of the senior doctois have been with the Workmen's Compensation Board for many ycars, praving that, these gen- tlemnen are rcaliy dedicated ta a if e of hclping the working- men of Ontario regain their rightfui place in industry. It is easy ta undcrstand why some dactors wish ta be iden- tified with the W.C.B. when we learn that, in certain educa- tionai fields, Malton hospital and ciinic are recognized as providing one of the better areas of training for specialisti in physicai medicine or ortho- paedic work. Thus, it would be possible for a fully traincd doc- ton ta leave here for an excel- lent position elsewhene. Hope that answers your ques- iofns rcgarding the doctors at Malton, satisfactorily.
