He seems to be enjoying it but poor worry-wart me, I'm listening to hear the shelf erack and hoping if it does that he'll be able to grab the window sill and not go sailing' off into space. Spring is really here. At least, I've got four yellow crocus out in full bloom! Yes, I have, tho' I must admit that they are in pots on the bathroom towel cupboard. You see, last fall I bought fifty crocus, fifty orchid iris and sev- eral hyacinth bulbs. Before I got them planted, someone, (I guess it was me,) put them all in a box ona shelf in the back of the sink cupboard, where we keep the things we seldom use and by the time. I remembered them, the ground. was frozen, so I planted them all, as thick as hair on a dog's back, in pots and put them down under the basement steps. So that accounts for my early cro- cus. The orchid iris are about six inches high but as I never had them before I don't know when I can expect blooms from them. ee, ne a I heard the cutest story about a little three-year-old girl' the other day. She was brushing her teeth and got along very well doing the lower ones but was rather puzzled about how to hold the brush for the upper ones. So she trotted off to her grandmother, who was looking after her for the week-end, and said, "Granny, how does I do the upstairs ones?"'. The farmhouse owned by the fa- ther of Thomas Edison, the great inventor, was moved a few years ago, complete, from its site near Vienna, Ont., to Henry Ford's mu- seum village near Detroit.

International events in QGuiding, stressing the qualifications necessary for a Guide to attend a World Camp in other countries. Mrs. Doran spoke on the Golden Jubilee Year, 1960, when the fif- tieth anniversary of Guiding is be- ing celebrated, and outlined many of the accomplishments of those fifty years. A toast to the memories of Lord and Lady ~-Baden-Powell, founders of the movement, was proposed by Mrs. W. C. Arnold. A sing-song led by the Guides, brought the evening to a close. Freckles In most cases freckles appear on the skin after exposure to strong sunshine, but sometimes they seem to occur naturally, just as fair or dark skin does. Thursday, Mareh 3, 1960 The Hailey Page 5 yburian Snow Cleaning Gear Taxed by Record Fall In a normal year Temiskaming, and most of Northern Ontario takes snowstorms in stride, and has a laugh or two at the expense of Southern Ontario communities floundering around in a mere six or seven inches of the white stuff. This is due to the fact that most municipalities in the north have the equipment and know-how for handling the stuff, and_the fact that snow will fall during the win- ter does not take them by surprise. But this winter it is different, for works departments across the districts. have been taxed to keep urban.and rural roads clear, and most persons agree that they have done an excellent job. Most complaints regarding the snow clearing are coming from the rural municipalities where many of the roads are still one lane affairs, with little chance that this will be corrected until the sun starts doing something» about it. Harley Township Council heard a strong complaint from some of the' ratepayers last week, with milk producers in the forefront. "We must have noads to get our milk to market,' is the cry. But Harley Township equip- ment, adequate for normal snow clearing cannot lift the snow over the big drifts to widen the roads. And other townships, with equip- ment for doing this job, are work- ing at capacity to lick their own problems, and have no equipment to rent to assist the smaller muni- cipalities, In New Liskeard the work crew spent long hours in cleaning the streets, but even here some of the side streets are narrow, with tow ering snowbanks along the ditch- es and sidewalks, and no chance to wing back the monster piles. "We are praying that there wilt be no more snowfall until the sun has a chance to give us an assist," said one tired road superintendent, One ray of sunshine is the excel lent job done by Ontario Depart- ment of Highways. While thin screams of annoyance were stilt being heard from the south, High- way 11 was bare to the pavement, and the shoulders cleared back to the maximum width. h REMODEL | REPAIR | -Haileybury Phone Os 2-5202- BEN J, BOURGET General Controctor and Estimator Houses Built Repairs and Alterations Boats Made or Repaired 2 The New Liskeard - Haileybury Skating Club | ANNUAL Ch RNIVAL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, MARCH 11 AND 12 : invites you to 'A Journey Through Space "A Trip to Dogpatch' Among the Guests This Year -- 66 YEAR OLD "BUD, CORCHESNE" North Bay's "Old Smoothie" 14 YR.
