His wife nas had twins, But the first was born at 125 a.m, on May 18th and the second didn't arrive until 6 a.m. on May 30th! T h e twenty-eight-year-old wife was told about the {wins a week before she had the first baby, a boy weighing 4 1b, 6 oz. -at birth, After his birth, the fa- ther camped on the hospital doorstep all day. After that he 'phoned the hospital every hour for six days . non-stop. Then he took to making several visits a day. What's the record birth de- lay in the case of twins? The British Medical Association says it is probably held by twins born in Strasbourg in 1846, with an interval of 137 days between them. The first arrived on April 30th, the second on_ September 13th, Proud father Bernard Schnees had just cradled his new-born daughter in 1955 when he got a shock. The doctor told. him: "You're going to be a father again, in about two months." He was right. Forty-eight days after baby Deborah was born to Mrs. Schnees --- at . Delaware, U.S. -- Douglas, an equally bonny baby, arrived. Delays of this kind are usual- ly due to differing weights of the babies, say doctors. In Scotland, in 1934, twins were born fifty miles apart at- an interval of two days. . The mother gave birth to the first baby at her home on the island of Scarpay, Invernessshire and was attended - by an "elderly neighbour. No doctor was available so the same day the mother was carried on a stretcher across the island to the sea, journeyed four miles in a boat to the neighbouring island of Harris, and fravelled another fifteen miles by car over. rought forest roads to Tarbert. There she was given medical aid, but she was told she must enter hospital at Stornoway, which she did the following day after a further car journey of thirty miles. Her second baby born there forty-eight hours after the first and after she had {travelled fifty miles. ~ Chaplain's Message One. would think that if there were a nation of people on the face of the earth who possessed the lion's share of the good things of life, things like plenty of food, houses, automobiles, telephones and television, in- ° terior plumbing, refrigerators, electricity for common use, etc., that that would be the most con- tented, well adjusted and hap- piest people on the earth. We are that people. We have the lion's sharesof this world's goods. We have more of mod- ern conveniences, gadgets, food, and other good things than any other nation on the earth. Yet -~we are one of the most dis- contented nations of the world. Let me prove this: We have the highest crime rate of any hation. In any 24- hour period there are some 300 deaths from crime, 1,100 burg- laries, 250 robberies, and count- less other' minor crimes. Fifty per cent of these crimes are com- mitted by persons in the 21 year age average. We have an exceptionally huge dope problem. Thirty per cent of the crimes committed in our large cities" are the direct re- sult of dope addiction or of ef- forts to obtain money for the continuance 'of the dope habit. Our high schools and are infiltrated . with the dope traflic. Dope is a big problem, We are a nation of sick peo- ple. Over 65 per cent of per- sons in one' of four hospitals is sick from the neck up. This does not mean that the person "is a mental patient. It means that whatever illness is present has come out of worry, terdsion, the poor adjustment to daily living. Alcoholism is a big problem. Over cight per cent of the popu- large - cities are alcoholics; not just moderate drinkers, have another what the cost. It's time we woke up to the true picture about ourselves. The.

Fo onCLES Gwendoline P We have come to the end of a perfect week -- weatherwise -- and a very bysy one. 1 have been trying to keep ahead of the garden, and partner has been busy cutting hay; all among the stakes set otit by the Department of Highways. More about that later. - Beans . . . We shall dare to look at a bean awhile. We have eaten them, given them away and cooked them for the dogs. And still__ they keep growing -- afd the sowing almost ready. Beets ,and carrots are growing fast too but the peas are not quite so rewarding. The apples also keep me busy although it is a sort of race between the twin heifers and myself to see who gets the-apples first. Early in the morning the heifers are around the harvest apple tree hardly after gobbling up the windfalls. When they retire to a shady spot to chew their cud I sneak out and get in my innings, shaking the tree by the branches until I have enough apples to fill a pail, which gives me about five quarts of applesauce when they are canned. I cook the apples with the peels on and then put the pulp through a rotary col- ander, That way we have ap- plesauce all winter, whether we have apples or not Some people wonder why 1 bother with can- ning at all when there are only the two of us now. I wouldn't if we had a deep freeze, but we haven't" and I am not so. sure that it is really necessary now, It' I can fill a few dozen sealers we are sure of having enough stuff for our own use and some- thing -on hand for weekend homecomers. # Each day, when I am through with canning and other work 1 like to get upstairs to my room, And how I am enjoying it. I am away from. everything and yet not away. For three days last week I was looking down---on the field where Partner was cutting hay--which was quite an advantage because I was afraid all the time he might run into a stake and get thrown off the mower. If he had--wéH, with a power mower anything could happen The field where he was cut- ting is one wheré the highway has expropriated land for High- way 401, It has iron stakes, wooden stakes and stéel fence posts here and there atross the fleld. Pgriner didn't want the hay 'but the field was weedy so he felt it had to be cut, He knew he would have quite a job although he thought he knew where every stake had been put.' He was wrong--there were a 'made Q .Clarhe few, not _properly-marked, that he didn't know anything about. He knew where they were when he ran into them,even buckling one of the guards. Steel stakes were not the only {rouble in that field. Earlier in the season one of the heifers escaped from the pasture. Partner -couldn't think how she got out until he went along by the fences. At one spot last winter the survey- ors had been cutting brush and hole in the fence. Part- ner Tixed it brush to fill the gap. Some time later, unknown to us, the sur- veyvors were back, evidently to do some work at the same spot. They pulled the brush away and left the gap exposed. No wonder the heifer got out! If Partner had not seen her the rest of the cattle would no doubt have fol- lowed : - \ We- have a notice from the Depariment to the eflect that compensation will be paid for any damage done. Fine -- but how can a farmer assess the trouble he goes to in getting a heifer back to pasture? Or how can we put in dollars and cents the worry it was to me having Partner on a 'power mower weaving his way in and out among the stakes and finally having to finish the "job by cut- around the stakes with a scythe. The trouble is the fellows that come around are not deliber- ately careless; they just don't understand the little things that are important on a farm. When the men were around driving in the stakes Partner said to them: . "What's going to happen if I want to plough this field?" One man answered: "Il guess you won't want to do much on this land by the time we get through!" How true--the only trouble is surveying the land up by. using. the |. doesn't keep the weeds from growing, in spite of the fact that there is plenty of agitation from various quarters | do keep the field clean.

And the decrease in birds . . . could it be they are being destroyed by chemical weed-killers now so much in use? And now the power has gone off--that doesn't make typing any easier so I am glad 1 have come to the end of my copy. 'Bye until next week.
