Ship's' Ammtn'itlwî i Just Plain Hootch ISarold Waters serveci for Stwenty years in the U.S. Caast. Guerd, and one exporienice he'i ney-er forgot was when lis patrol slip Tucker chased and capturod the wisky runner Conch Belleý off the east coast of Amerîca. The smulggier's hu ,Il was 50 riddled with buliet-boles duing the engag ement that she coldn't be towod inita part, Sa the Tucker's skippe.r decided ta hauil her alongside andi tranship the1 whisky cargo as evidenco,stw ïng it in the machine shop amid- The cî for ail hands ta frîs p lumen -richain ta hand'i the egacks,, full of botties, was haîlod 'with énthusiasmri On the sae aYid-share-alike basis af "bne for the government, and oone for mne" Orly htaîf the 200 sacks of spirit1 ueached the machine' shop.' The qter heif vanisbed behind von- tiletars, stacks, vegetable l-ockers md ilny other hideauts that the Tuicker's officers couldn't see. Whom tatoi of the largo niuY- ber of missing botties, thie skip- per gave the officýers a se';tere dressin-down for thoîr lack o vigilance anti ordored an imme- diate search. But up ta midnight they had founti oniy two sacks ivhich somneone had thrown into a sniall dinghy and forgatton to rimove to a botter hideaut. 'Thet's not a drap in the buckot earnpared tl what's stli loase in this sip!" roareti the alipper. «You'd btter get busy Êrst thing in the imarninig and inti thomn. if you don't turn, up tkat mnissing stuf f by to-mnorrawv zlgît, 'il give you a teste cf hack!" Hack was r-oon-confine- ment, a drastic punishmnent car- rying a feeling of moral stigma for coast guard officers. Waters recorda in a cheerfully see-breézy accouint of lis twonty years with the U.S. Coast Guerd In «Ativenture Unlimiteti" thati the tomiporary hall in the search was a signal for celebretion. Sacks and btties were teken fromn their hiding places and ail hands mot an watch gat glorlous- ly t ig ht, drinking fuiousiy against the dlock. Tt was a nigît «, revelrv and high carnival. Thi ship's gunnery dopart- '7îent - four gunners' mates amd & chief --hed ton secks , (360 btties) hidden iii the Magazine.i It .was a lot of liquor ta lido in a comnprtment alredyfilt with powder, projectiles, TNT and smali armns anmntin, the chief orderet them to dumip the amrmunition. Into emptieti powder tanks and boxes niarked "111gh Explosives - handie with great care!" went quart after quart of whisky which was promptly dîlàwn upon for -their ûwm orivate pr,t shocking han-govers. "We wera sarry-looking buLnch as we form-ý ed in iurching, woaving ranks ta fac(, a wrathfulcptn" Waters seys. The captaîn Ioosed a hod side on thoir "disg-racoful cn duct," threatoncing a general court-mnartial ta any man faund w-,ith liquor in his possession or in any, comparet ta wýhich ho hlad the keys. Turnng- abruptly, ho slammed(-c binta the yeom-an cidcputized ta write up charges. On the impact ai baffle of whisky slipped1 froin the yeomian's waist, down his 1,ant ileg, and crashed on the steel dock, splashing the skip- per's shoes. "Whiie you're w.rit- ing up charges," ho sntapped, "1put yourself down for a generai cout-mrtil!""Ayo, aye, sir," said the luwkikess yeoman. While they stood in ranks in a broiiing sun w; i t h par'ched tongues, splitting hieads, and sick stomrachs, the officers comibedi the ship, filiding boot everywhere, under pillows, ïnattresses, in hamnmoclks, lockeýrs. Despite t-he thorough search, however, the total yield wias dis- aippointing. "! know weýli," bark- ed the skipper, "there's a lot more li-quor yet ta be fountd ..- You rmay expect surprise searches f rom now on, plenty of them! At amy hou-,r of the day or n!ighnt!" While the dockç force was given intensive gun dr-ili' the -kipper glowered down fromi the bridge. Demonstrating safoty precautions ta a guan crew, the Chief walked t the breech end saying; "Having mnade ýsure thet the mnuzzie end of the gunt is clear, we now swing open the bretech block sand-"! As ho bent low ta look 'inside, out shot the frst of threo whis- ky botties framn the powdîer chainber. One ht hlm in the foreheed, stunning hlm; the other two erashed on the dock. "1Very interesting, C h i efC" thundered the (,')d Man. "Youi had a f oui bore ail right, fouied -with three bofttes of whisky!" The Chief hotly protestod ?hat sarneono must have djumrped the botties there 'the previaus night and forgotten ta rem'ove them. "Aflter ail, Captain," ho added boldly, "if we were the kind of rascals you thiink us ta bo, youi sho-tuld crodit us with mre intelli- gence t han trying ta hide liquor 1.1 a auni that is right under yeur nase,." "And where else ýmôuld you put your stolen liquor, if 'yciu re the kind af rogues I have- some season ta suspect yau of being'Z" "Down ini the magazine, Cap- taiin" - iwitlt e casuainess that almast took the crew's breath awy"That's where 1 would hido the stuff. That is, if 1 hacd stolon any of it. Why don't you look down there?" jo 'athe others' relief. the skipper just laughoed. Actually, the magazine hnad been searchied by. the gunnery officer and no liquOr found, thanks t« the Cif'lorethought iha thraw- lng overbojard eniough explosives ta provide stoage for it! Whoni the Tuckor have-to off Fart Lauderdale, the Coast Guard base, Waters' anchoring station was -up on 'the f'c'sie. At the command, "Lot go the enchor," down it plunged, up frorn the chain locker came the - alwhîpping tîrougli the hawse-pipe, thoni came the sounid of grindinig glass f rom beilow, and into the sea spiashed brokoni w-ýhisky botties as the cable un- ,coîled. Whisky fumes wreathed up. The fo'c'sle bogan ta smoll like a distlle(-ry. GOOD HEAD -- Three youna-. sters put their heads together with a giant paipier-mnoChe fun- ny mon in Vaego Italy.

It. toak too long ta mature. It was not hardy onough except -for the warmoer section of the coun-i try. And whon we did - succeed i growing a fow cobs, the sea- son lasted only a few days. In fiowers and shrubs, too, we wero limited to a fLevwstandard, col- ours, niot very' bright and al! gone in a matter of days. Now, with vast improverments in har-dinis, Nclauring andl quality, we caw h1-ave gardens - amost anywhiero ins Canada, right Up intao leYukoSn and around Great Slave lake if necessary. And wo can have fresh vegetables and bright bloonm from eariy in the Spring untLil even after the first frosts inr the Fali. Spiesiç It Out Tt is foolish to plant ail the g arden on a single afternoon just a s soon as the first. warmn wxeather cornes. A late frost mnay ruin ail tender growth and if il does escape frost, ail the flowors will corne out early or ail the vegetables wiil be ready et tho samo t'ime. With the vegeftables espocially, it is advisablo ta spread sow 'ngs sothat the harvest may be spread out aiso. Experioncod gardoners mnake a regular prac- tice of planting such things as carrots, beots, lettuco, -beais, spinacli, radish, etc., et least thre e times, about two or three weeks apart. To furthet' spread the harvest, thoy will aiso use ,eriy, medium and late varioties. Thore is no good reason why the vegotablo gai-den shouid not yield continually f romi early sumnmer until late feul. And the same goes for mnost annuel fiowers, too. Centrepiee Virutually overy gardon, for,- mrai or *lnfornial is built around e lawvn.' The latter is tho resu centrepiece and the sm-roother and greener it is the better it shows off the fiowers,. shrutbbery and homo. There are a lot of poor lawns in Canada but there shouldn't be, bocause ýprcparing and meaintaining- a respectable one is mot difficult. A few basic points should be kept in mind. First, we mnust rerVîember that grass is a plant like a fiower osr a vegetabie and if we want fine luxuriant deep green growth weiý shouid feed it once ini a while just like we feed aur fiowers and vegotablos, And another even more 'basic point lt to mnake sure that we start with good seed, and suitable seed. If these two points are kept in mmnd the rest is simple because healthy grass from healthy seed wijl pretty well take care of its own problemns.
