Few, other than people on the farm actually have seen one, and few- er still have seen one working. A hay fork consists of a track which is either wood or steel and runs practically. the length of the barn. This is placéd approximately a foot below the inside peak of the barn. On this track runs the car which is a com- paratively small iron contrivance with several pulleys, locks, and other odd mechanical devices found only on this piece of human ingenuity. In the centre of the barn driveway is the gate which allows for the car to be transferred from one end of the bara to the other. It serves also to lock the car in place while the hay is be- ing securad to the rope. Next comes a hook movable pulley upon which the fork is attached; and from this are the following ropes: one the main rope uséd for the lifting of the hay; two, the trip rope which is used for changing the holding power of the fork's teeth; the third and last rope is used for opening the gate when changing the car from one end of the barn to the other. The actual working of this seeming- ly complicated piece of farm mechan- ism is much more on the simple side than jt looks. First and foremost pull the car back to the gate by means of .| the trip rope. This releages the lock | on the car allowing the fork and pul- .|ley to be released. The fork is then {detached from the hook and it is forced: down into the load of hay and then the handle that locks the teeth is drawn up into position. Then the hookey pulley is attached to the fork and, after making sure the trip rope is ¢lear, hop to the back of the wagon and signal to the driver of the team or car. "The bundle of hay goes up, locks in the car and starts across the track. Skill is required to trip the hay into the desired position. After tripping the operation is repeated un- til the load is off. The hay fork itself tah be changed when drawing sheaves for the sling-, chain and ropes which take the sheaves up in the ordinary way and are tripped with the trip rope. A hay fork can easily be a destrue- tor when young children are around. Thera is, however little danger when everything is kept in-good running order and the main rope is renewed every ten or fifteen years, was no Sunday School or Service, on account of the weather.

"I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the lovely Christmas parcel which I received from your or- ganization some time ago. I have had many occasions to say "Thank You" to the Canadian Red Cross for various donations of com- forts that mean so much to us over here." But to receive a parcel from a branch in-one's--shall I say "adopted" community--makes one all the more appreciative of the wonderful work of the Red Cross. The splendid variety of "goodies" that, if it were not for the thought- fulness of our loved ones and friends back home, would only be_memories in this country. And some person's thoughtfulness-of what-we miss most and, rest assured that although this is my first experience of the kindness and generosity of the Scugog Island Red Cross, it will not soon be forgot- ten. I must apologize for not having nc- knowledged receipt of the parcel be- fore, but I have only just recently re- turned from an advanced course in London, which kept me busy enough that my correspondence in general has suffered greatly. I should like to take.this opportun- ity of wishing all of you the very best in:1948 and even if it is a bit late, is nevertheless sincere. . Again, thanks for the lovely parcel, and may I soon have the opportunity of thanking you in person.
