' For several hundred years science has dreamed of finding a perfect method of trapping tHe heat of the sun. At thet sun's centre the temperature is calcu- lated to be thirty million de- grees, Its surface is practically cold by comparison -- a mere 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit At preséfit most of the count- less, millions of horsepower of pure énergy.rained on the earth from the sun, which is 93,000,000 miles away, is wasted. One day; say the "scientists, the sun will J: "regularly supply us with all the - > energy we need. Its rays could drive every ma- chine in the world, heat every building, light every house -- and still leave a surplus of en- ergy. Says one expert: "Your house will then be warm in winter, thanks 'to conservation of the sun's rays, and cool in summer --comfortable all the year round but without the dirt or cost of stoves, furnaces or expensive re- frigerating apparatus." Ensnaring- the sun's rays and' putting them to work, howéver, is a formidable task which may not be fully accomplished until long after the year 2,000. But already "solar houses" have been built in various parts of the world. At one Massachusetts, scientists = have "found a way to store energy "from the sun in an enormous at- tic tank which holds 1,200 gal- lons of water. : How is it done? The sun's rays are ingeniously trapped by a huge black metal sheet, or plate, installed on the roof and facing south at an angle of 57 degrees. This plate has a number of cop- per tubes attached to it through which the sun-warmed water flows tc the insulated tank. The * water 15 then circulated through a séries of other pipes incorporated in room ceilings throughout , the house which is thus comfortably warmed. If is claimed that the house can be kept at a temperature of G0 degrees Fahrenheit at all times. Blonde, attractive Dr. Maria Telkes, a Hungarian scientist, who also lives in Massachusetts, set out in 1949 ot prove that it is possible "to live in a house without coal, gas, electricity or any other source of heat but thei sun, She built a modern-style cot-" tage, but features that differed from the conventional home in- cluded a shed-like roof and a south wall Consisting mainly of small windows. vz She trapped the sun's rays by a_device built in just above the windows, carrying them' by a circulator to 'a series of "heat bins" in the cellar. These bins she filled with a cheap chemi- cal." The incoming heat melted the chemical. And as it solidified again the obliging chemical gave off heat which was distributed by fans and ducts. all over the house, - On the winter day. she moved in, Dr, Telkes recorded these temperatures: outdoors, "49 de- grees; indoors, '71 degrees. The: least pain in our little finger gives us "more concern and uneasiness, than the de- struction of millions of our fel- low-beings, --WILLIAM HAZLITT in Cambridge,' 7GiNGER FARM ~ There has to be a first time for everything and last week we had it. That is -to say for five days we had the privilege of taking care of our grandson without the help of his parents. Daughter was away to. camp with her troop of Girl Guides and Art was busy on the trans- portation end of the affair. So . . . we had Dave. He was asleep in his cot in our room when his parents left and we wondered - what the reaction would be the . next morning. We need not have worried. Dave accepted the sits - "hation 'and took everything in his stride. : ; It was very hot and humid . as if I need to tell you... so. we decided that for once in his life Dave could go without shoes and socks as his mother did when she,was young. The lawn was hard and dry and we wondered if his feet would be too tender to stand it. But they did. Part of the time Grandpa was walk..- Dave, nearby, amused himself by getting in and_out of a small wash=tub into which Partner had poured a pail of water. The supply didn't last {oo long as Dave got a couple of tobacco tins and busily baled it. out. It didn't matter. how wet he got as his clothing was re- ~ duced to a pair of training pants. Poor little chap -- he usually settles: down so well at night but for several nights there wasn't a breath of air and he was naturally restless. So on two occasidns I took him out of: his cot and-we sat on the front steps together to cool off. After that IT put him back in his cot .and he went right ff to sleep. Strange. how children will find their own favourite playthings. My little two-year-old niece in England' has lovely toys but her pet plaything was a small jar half filled with mixed buttons. She never tired of tipping them - out and picking them-up-again. Dave's mania was to see how many stones he could pick up off the driveway. Every time he came into the house one chubby little hand would be grasping a fair-size stone--and» woe be- tide us if we tried to take it away! A set of farm animals was another joy--two horses, two cows, a pig and a sheep. He sat in his high chair and played with them and at meal-time the animals had to be fed as well as Dave, We made it a rule that the animals mfst be put back in their box when he went to bed, with the exception' of .one. He was allowed to take either the pig or the sheep with him, firm- ly grasped in his wee hand. Of. course our' supremacy as caretakers ended when Mummy and Dad appeared on the scene. At. that age--not quite two-- grandparents just don't count if the parents are around. So for that reason we were glad to have Davey to ourselves and to know that we could manage him with- out any trouble should an emer- gency arise. Of course. when a child is in a strange place con- stant vigilance is necessary. So when I was busy: in ithe house grandpa took over. We couldn't just put Dave outside and leave him to amuse himself, There was always the chance he might wander off to the road or be busy picking up stones in the lane when a car drove-in. Now we have a new job on our hands . . . breaking in another building a stone garden ° Saas ty hm Ae ZARA EAT Grease cookie sheets.

Robbie, our Welsh Corgi, is a nice little house dog but as a watch-dog he doesn't amount to. much and we have the idea that a good guard dog on a farm is a necessity these days.

We had a "Rusty" once before so this dog has to be Rusty the Second. Robbie, of course, is. frightfully jealous but bl the cats don't mind him at' all. . In fact Partner said he wit- nessed the funniest thing last night he has seen for a long time. Rusty and Robbie were having 'a wrestling match out- side, half playing, half fighting with a good deal of growling mixed in. Black Cat Joe was sit- ting on top of the woodpile look- ing on.
