Wheeler Ga HRONICLES JGINGERFARM Gwendoline D Clarke After an éxperience such as we had' last week, it isn't easy. to sit down and write this column, Nat- 'urally," 1 don't want to 'inflict our worries uffon my readers--most people have enough of their own-- yet I cannot write a chronicle of weekly events at Ginger Farm and" ignore what has happened. So for- give me if 1 refer briefly to what has taken place. My sister-in-law's funcral was last. Weditesday -- from the Funeral Home in Milton, We thought the flowers would never stop coming, They were very beautiful, Only a few, however, were. sent to the cemetery; the others were distrib- uted to the churches, and among the sick and shut-ins. They had: the dead but afterwards everyone agreed it would be a shame to let the flowers freeze outside when they might serve a better and hap- pler purposg by bringing pleasure to the living. For several days even our big house seemed filled to capacity with friends--there were nine of us al- together, After the service those --from a distance came back for tea and some of them were here for = supper. On Thursday the exodus began. In the morning Bob and four others set out for North Bay, in Bob's car. Tt was terribly cold and windy but since we liad not paid much attention to weather reports it was not until after they had gone we heard how bad road conditions were In some districts--particularly going north. Then Partner. began to worry--said they should never have started -out 'when it was so cold. However, Daughter phoned La Cave Friday morning and found that her uncle and cousin had both shown up at the office so we were all considerably = relieved on that score. Bob would still have another $00 miles to travel from North Bay --and we haven't heard from him yet. Babs, the last of our visitors, went back to Sunnybrook on Sun- day. She had stayed a day or two longer- than the rest to help me get all the extra washing done and the house set to rights. Now Partner and I are alone once more, snatch- ing a little extra rest, and getting back to "our ordinary, everyday chores, although. we still find it hard to realise that our happy little family gathering could end so disastrously. And yet from this, as from every new experience, we have learned a lot, and it has also given us many heart-warming thoughts to treasure for the rest of our days. What stands out in our memory of events during. the.last week is the kindness of our friends. I think I mentioned that last week:--but it will bear re- peating. The day of the funeral two --of our neighbours came in, bringing cakes and cookies with them. With- out losing any time they set to work, cutting sandwiches and mak- ing other preparations for tea while we were away at the service. They helped me serve refreshments to the twenty-five people who came. back to the farm from the cemetery. Af- -terwards these good friends of ours washed dishes and left everything ship-shape before returning home. 1 didn't have a worry. at all in that respect. That is what it means to have good neighbours. And I am quite sure it applies to country people throughout Ontario. : Sometimes we hear that neigh- bourliness is dying out. At times I have thought that too. That is to say, I have realised that neighbours don't visit back and- forth the way they used to --there are not the number of "bees" of various kinds, or house parties like there used to be. But yet neighbourly hearts are still in the same places; still respond as quickly as ever to those in dis- tress. Because of this kindliness that has been so veryemuch in cvi- dence, Partner's brother and his family have said over and over scrved their purpose in honouring--}._ . 2 - Help Where Most Needed--TFriendly, as well as expert atten- tion is given this crippled patient of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children. The Society's annual Easter Seals appeal for funds goes to the public from February 25 to March 25, Over 4000 children yearly receive treatment through the Society's efforts. ar again, that since this sorrow had to 'come to them they were glad it happened here at Ginger Farm and not inn the city. Daughier said they would have had an awful time trying to get a .doctor in the middle of the night and it is douptinl if hospital accom- modation could" have been secured at all. So we find plenty to be thank- ful for, even now. ? Well, I have just been down for. the mail and found a postcard from Bob. He said he was almost stiff with cold when he got back to _ Matheson, and that it was 50 below zero when he arrived. Who wouldnt be cold! Here it is one big puddle--so wet 'and sloppy you hate to step outside --even Honey. Generally she takes the paper and never stops running until she reaches the front doorstep. Today she walked all the way, pick- ing the cleanest and driest spots in the lane, and never once dropping the folder she was carrying.

' Pluto Gets His Picture Taken Pluto, most mysterious of all the planets in the solar system, has been having its plotograph taken through the world's biggest tele- scope--the 200-inch Hale Telescope on Mount Palomar, California. Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper-of the Uni- versity of Chicago has-been able to calculate that Phtto's size is much less than was previously supposed. This - furthermost planet's diame- ter is now known to be 3,600 miles, or 46 per cent of that of the earth. It is about one-tenth of the earth's mass. Before. these observations, Pluto. which was discovered only 20 years ago, was believed to be massive and heavy--a frozen and condensed world on which life was intpossible, It is the ninth planet of the solar system All the planets--the earth is one of them--circle in=orbits round the sun, and Pluto is farther from the sun than-any other--3,675 million miles away.

Rumen Answer Elsewhere On This Page this century by Proressor Percival Lowell, who had noticed that the planet Uranus was being disturbed in its orbit. Scien.ists throughout the world carefully examined through their telescopes more than half a million star images to see if they could spot the cause. Finally, on January 23rd, 1930, an object was detected in the heavens moving ai almost exactly the same speed as that predicted by Professor Lowell. Mathematicians soon provs ed that this was the object that was disturbing Uranus. The name of Pluto was given to it at the suggestion of an cleven- year-old English = girl, Venctia Burney of Oxford.

'DON' Amazing Nylons Reading This May Save Your Life A tractor is 'a wonderful invention, But it can't think or see. And it doesn't care whether or not yoy break your neck. That's the point of this story by a farm safety specialist, N hE "How inany more loads will we, need," Dad?" 'asked Ted as they finished dumping another wagon load of gravel in the yard. » _-"Abont three more should do it," answered Irank Fetters. He had just climbed back .on the tractor seat after pulling the pin to release the wagon tongue. Now he turned toward the pile of gravel to level it -with the blade, y : Modern machinery is great stuff, thought Frank as the gravel pile disappeared. Think how much shovelling it would take to level off all this gravel by hand. Think, too, how much work it used to be to attach something like this blade to a tractor--or take it off. With newer equipment it can be done in a jiffy. "That -does it, Ted.. Now let's get this blade off. Hurry now, and we'll have time to get those other three loads." - The blade soon was detached, and Frank raced back to the trac- tor seat. "Come -on, Ted, get the pin," he shouted as he backed up to the tongue. "Never mind, I can get it myself quicker." : Frank disengaged the clutch, but left the tractor in gear, then jump- ed off. He lifted up the tongue, then reached for the clutch and started the tractor backward slow- ly. : = But his hand slipped . . . The hitch jerked out of his hand... The tractor pushed him against 'the wagon. . . . Frank might havé been squashed between tractor and wagon. Ex- cept that tractor and wagon wheels met, leaving Frank enough room to get out with nothing worse than bruises. ' - Will you be as lucky? Never operate a tractorsfrom the ground, Never stand between tractor and another vehicle-when the tractor is being moved. Practice backing up to loads. You can soon learn to line up so you can sect the brakes, get off, pick up the tongue and drop the pin through tongue and hitch.

With' thi lesson, Jesus is on His last journey from Perea across Jor- dan tq Jerusalem, where He would die "for the sins of the .race and then rise on the third day, On His road to greatness by the way of the "Cross, it was an inopportune time for two of His disciples to: press their claims for positions of distinction in His kingdom. But there has always been politics_in the Church. An editor of a church paper published an- article entitled, "The Church Boss." - Thirty-five irate subscribers "wrote indigrant letters cancelling their subscrip- tions for "the personal attack made on me." "Diotrephes who loveth to have the preeminence," (3 John 9), is not dead yet. Jesus taught by precept and example that "who- soever will be great shall be your minister." 'At the last supper it was He who girded Him- self with a towel and took a bason of water and washed the disciples' feet. . He took the lowest place, True greatness is to serve. By dying for us all on the Cross He demonstrated: it more clearly. James and John were 'sincere men. When filled with the Holy Spirit, that spirit of "me first" gave way to a passionate desire to: follow humbly in the footsteps of their aster. James_carly experienced the baptism of suffering. He was the first of the disciples to be mar- tyred. Acts 12:2. History says that of the cleven, only John escaped death by martyrdom. But they.all served. Let us all learn the lesson that greatness consists not in exer- cising authority over others but in serving others in the spirit of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.
