It dates back to 1798 when little, twelve-yr.-old Betsy Metcalfe, who lived in Provid- ence, R.I, saw an imported straw bonnet in a local shop window, Betsy liked it, so she went home, slit and plaited some oat straw and made herself 'a copy of the hat. A good Yankee, Betsy de- cided to sell her handiwork: she priced it at half the cost of the imported bonnet. That was enough for her neighbors. They demanded th~t she make more. - Twelve-year-old Betsy thereby became the mother of the Ame- rican' millinery industry. Soon, people all over New England started manufacturing straw bon- nets, too. Two Beston families started doing it in 1799; they made $340 worth of hats in 1800 In Medfield, Mass.,, two owners of a general store arranged to take straw braid instead of cash in payment for their goods. They gave the straw to. neighbour- hood women who sewed it into bonnets at home. " The industry grew rapidly. . . . American women were not con- tented, however, with just straw bonnets. They 'demanded -- and - got -- hats made out of all sorts of other materials. That meant the development of a new kind of industry. These new hats were created from flowers to feathers. .. Orig- "on a buckram or wire frame. They were trimmed with a wide variety of ornaments that ranged from flowers to feather. ... Orig- inally made-to-order, by 1850 they had become a factory item... Style, naturally, was the one doctrine of the millinery jndus- try. One year, American women were given ornate hats with in- tricate trimmings. A year later, as taste varies, they wanted sim- ple, almost untrimmed hats. -- - From "Spotlight on a Union," by Donald B. Robinson.

For Arthur Window, of New South Wales, Australia, a sneeze had results of terrifying dimen- sions. At the itme he was driv- ing a truck loaded with wool bales and cigarettes. Sneezing suddenly, he lost control, crash- ed into two parked cars, re- bounded and hit a telegraph pole. His truck toppled over and burst into flames. . . _ He extricated himself and stumbled off to the nearest tele- phone boath to call the fire vrigade. When he got back all three vehicles were blazing mer. rily, Then his truck exploded, the blazing debris injuring two - onlookers. They had to be taken to hos- pitel along with himself. Alto- cether Window's sudden sneeze 1= reckoned to have cost $70,000! And that takes no .account of the three hospital patients.

We got water - in our basement -- that was the night whene there was a three- quarter inch rainfall in many Ontario districts. I woke up in the night and heard a terrific wind driving rain against the front, of the housé;: From the window I could see floods every- where, including the road. Pres- ently I went downstairs, found the sump-pump working all right and only a small trickle of water across the floor. I thought there wasn't too much to worry about and went back to bed without waking Partner." About five o'clock he was awake and down- stairs and by that time it was a different storv. Water was com- ing in at several places. Worse than that the sump-pump wasn't operating properly. We couldn't take a chance on that quitting so a plumber was sent for. He put on a r,v switch and then it was all right. We thought we were lucky not having to buy a new pump. But even that would have been better than a flooded base- ment. However, there was still work to do -- sweeping water away from the furnace and over towards the drain. Later on Bob came to the rescue, fixed a pipe across the floor so there was better drainage. With that done we were able to sleep in com- fort. Next morning 'after listen- ing to the radio and hearing of the flood damage in so many dis- tricts we were ashamed to feel sorry for ourselves. For instance, one morning" at the hairdresser's the entire con- versation was about flooded base- ments -- and even of ground floors being under water. At ong drugstore eight inches of water at the street level and six inches in a nearby restaurant. One wo- man said come spring there would be a "For Sale" notice up outside their house. I can't see much point in that. I would say far better to. reinforce the walls against flooding. To sell one place and buy another might be jump- ing from the frying pan into the fire -- or maybe from a stream into a lake 'would be a bettet We may never have a situation like this again. After all it is only the result of so much frost in the ground there is no natural drainage for the super -abundance of surface water. And do you know what? When the rain stopped and the sun came out I went sloshing through ,the water to get the mail and there, if you please, was a crow 'strutting around in our backyard and a robin singing lustily from a tree-top.
