Pupil In Toronto A little about Miss Rockli!f's pessonal life will perbaps ex- plain how sise came ta seck a post abroad. With ber mothes- and fathes- she lived in Toron. to wbile gaing ta school, and it was dusing ber public scisool days that Ms-s. Thornpsan, then Ruth Johnston, a teaches- at Pas-kdalc Public 'Scbooi, be- came a fsicnd o! tise Rockliff family. Ms-s. Thompson says, "I like ta point out ta students who do not rate ail A's, that Mas-jos-le was fas-fs-orn being a clever student, but bad a cravîng for iistorical data with a stick-to- itiveness tbat took ber places. Sise bad a zest for leas-ning." Taking a special interest in this young pupil, a friendship was fos-mcd wbicis bas lasted oves- the yeas-s. Ms-s. Thompson says,in recalhing these days, that Pas-kdale Public Sch.oul was a small school with a fricndiy, family feeling. Mr. Mahian Mclntosh was mucis esteerncd as principal, and was proud o! being a relative o! the McIntosh apple famiiy. Also on the staff was Miss Annie Duf!, a sister o! Sir Lymnan P. Duff. Started At Teiegram Leaving public scbool, Mar-- jas-le took a secretarial course at Central Commerce, tisen a position at tise Tos-onto Tele- gramn ad desk in the days o! Jim Huntes-. The next Ms-s. Tisohp5on iseard o! ber, shie was in Washington in the Bs-it- isis Embassy. In al ber vas-bus positions tises-e, Miss Rackhifl was in Washington 18 years. During this time, ber fathes- had died, and she bad taken ber motises-ta Washington ta live witis ber. She was an anhy chihd, and except for an uncie in Toronto, bad no relatives on this side o! the water exceptj ber motises-. Hes- motises became ses-iously ill, an-d died, but ibefore this, at ber motber's request, Mas-jas-le flew ta England ta visit s-eia-~ tives there sa she could tel ber mothes- a! these people before she died. the head of the Atomic Energ3 Commission. The staff of the Embassy was invited alsa, so1 ware my silk shantung and silk as-gandy dustes-."

Returning for a marnent ta ber position as Research Chair- m an on Pakistan, in one o! ber letters written to Mrs Tbomp- son at this time Miss Rockliff said, "I look up all the informa- tion on Pakistan and then an- swer jettes-s fs-rn professas-s of history in variaus universities ths-oughout U.S.A. I do all my own correspondence, compas- ing the lette-s, etc., and my boss is pieased with my work. The research work is very in- teresting." Remembers Teacher An cxcerpt fs-rn another letter reads, "Your wos-ds o! praise are much appreciated, 'but I feel in no way clever or wise. Whcnever I have accorn- plished a difficuit task, I re- membes- how rnuch faith you bad in my passing examina- tions, and your wonderful ex- ample spurs me onward ta completing the saine problerns in different settings. Yau sec, I do remembe- your patience and fortitude in the 'face of schoolroom trials!' Comments Mrs. Thompson, "Balrn ta my scboolma'am's ear!" And naw Masjane is in Sout-1 Africa. Her trip there was "a wonderful 18-day jous-ney by sea from New York, having left there May 18 and making anly one stop en route, at St. He- lena." She arrived at Cape Town on June 5.

Most o! this stu!!, if neces- sas-y, can be csowded tagether in s-aws 12 ta 18 inches apas-t. Space can also be savcd by gs-awing the big tbings like cas-n and staked tomataes along the fence rows. Then ta make sure the vegetable gas-den keeps on ps-aducing we make two or tbree sowings o! cacti vegetable fsrn' twa ta ths-ee weeks apart and wc alsa use eas-ly, rnediumn and late sors. In most o! Canada one can go on sowing casrots, beets, let- tuce, beans and cas-n rlgbt up ta the fis-st o! July and stili be sus-e o! getting a crop.

Wili Add Beauty Only a ves-y !ew birds as-e really destructive in the gar- dens. Most of tbern do fas- mos-e gaod than has-m. They wil belp keep down bugs and eat weed seeds, and they are ibeautifiil and interesting ta have around. Shrubs and trees, bird houscs. feeding stations and watering or batbing pools, all wil h1elp ta bring ws-ens and osioles and robins. But we can do mare than this. There as-e certain brlght flowers that have a spe- cial appeal for bumming birds. There as-e ail sorts of shrubs with bright and edible fs-uit or seeds that will invite cardinals. There as-e others tbat as-e pas- ticulas-ly attractive for the goldfinch. It pays well ta study the special likes of the birds, ta plant things that will ps-o- duce food and shelter in win- tes- as well as in summes-. No Hurry Do flot fs-et if the spring is late in yous- part of Canada this year. In the fis-st place fretting will not belp bsing the warm days any fastes- and secondlly there is stili plenty a! time anywbcs-e in Canada ta have a fine gas-den, even if we can't get a spade in the ground until late May. Indeed there are several quick gs-owing tbings wbich will make abundant bloom os- fine meals for the table even if planted in June. The experts, incidentally, al- ways was-n tbe beginnes- ta take it easy, ta prepare the sal well, and wait until the spring wea- ther bas seally as-sived. O! cous-se, ane should get nurses-y stock and some o! the hardies- sorsofa flowes-s and vegetables planted as soon as possible, but the main sowings as-e best post*- Paned until around this tirne or even later. Sps-eading thse plantings, tao, oves- a fairly long pesiod, sight up ta early July in the was-m- er parts o! Canada, la always advisable. In this way the bar- vcst o! flowes-s and vegetabies is sps-ead out too. Next Week Big Showy Annuals for Back- ground planting.
