The Councils must apply within thirty days ior permission to continue the burning until another method of disposal is implemented. Just According to a neighboring weekly, a number of dog owners in that community have recently paid fines of $10.00 and costs for flouting the dog regulation. chores for the day.

Once the custom became estab- lished in the United States, it was adopted very quickly inCana- da and gradually spread to all parts of the nation. Ann Jarvis, the lady who is generally recognized as the loun- der of Mother’s Day as we know it, died in a Philadelphia rest home in1948,penniless andlonely at the age of 84. Almost her entire litehadbeen devoted to a single cause - to give honour to mothers every- where -- and she saw her efforts crowned with unusual success.

Gave the quarter acre a liberal spreading -- and waited for false summer to arouse the night crawlers. ‘ ‘Old- timer" neighbor, watch- ing our failure, offered advice: ‘flvhnt ya aunts {It sou; ha Io smarter than the worms.” He suggested we sprinkle the lawn with dry mustard to warm the earth, and the worms wouldthink the heat was coming from the sun. Gingerly feeling our chest, where we’d worn amustardplas- ter a few hours to relieve a cold a few weeks earlier, we decided he might just have something there.

At our house was a quarter acre lawn, or so it seemed when we cut the grass on ahot summer day. We decided to give the night crawlers some encouragement. Heated gallons of water and sprinkled it on the lawn before dark, two days before opening season. Went out at dark, armed with lantern and container -- but we hadn’t fooled the night craw- lers. They stayed put in their winter quarters. There are two ways this can be done: Firstly, don’t let your children buy and use firecrac- kers. These noise makers are small in size but cause approxi- mately 90% of injuries and tires. Secondly, choose family fire- works ior your celebration and follow these rules: The OntarioSafety Leagueasks your help to make sure this Victoria Day is not marred by needless fireworks accidents. Back in those days, dew worms were five cents a dozen (retail) and not too much in demand. But the year of our first busi- ness venture it was a cold back- ward spring. First of May fast Looked to us as though they were picking dew worms -- except they were putting the ob- ject of their search in pants pockets. On second thought, we decided in the first place it wasn’t dark, and besides it was too early in the season for night crawlers, and besides again, the fishing season was two or three weeks off. Why would they be gathering dew worms? So it must have been some kind 0! marbles. At least it was the season for marbles -- but, with all the science and stuifkidslearn today, they’d probably never learned to play marbles the right way.

And now that we’ve mentioned mini- skirts -- of a chilly morn- ing last week as we were guiding the jalopy through the 8.40 a.m. maze of blue knees and shivering shanks exposed to the chill air ‘neath mini mini- skirts, it was refreshing to see one high school girl sensibly and comfortably clad in slacks. Perhaps ltislater than we think, but as we steered past her and braked tor a back- ward glance, we found ourselves secretly admitting that demite the brevity of the mini- skirt, tor good poise, good sense, and a second look, they can't be com- pared with gaily colored stret- chies, stretched in the right Lets made this an accident tree fireworks day.

On the liabilities side were ten customers whom we expected would be demanding their nickles back, to say nothing of mustard- blistered hands and knees; and we missed the 10¢ a week that year for mowing the quarter acre of lawn. The win- tered grass was still stunted and yellow in September. And just atthispointinour reverie, the every day housewife who gave up the good life arrived home from her nighttowork.

We gathered one hundred and eighty ofthem -andletithe known throughout the new- hood we had bait for sale. Up early next morning, we sold ten dozen worms before school and had our mustard investment back -- and five dozen left hr clear profit. But it seems somewhere along the line something went wrong. We didn't learn of it till after school. But seems when those mustard tingling worms aiddenly came in contact with the cold, clear water, they immediately broke out in an almost instantly fatal case of what might be des- cribed as unappetlzinghives. The few trout who defied the un- seasonahle elements that year would come and look, sniff, and swim away. And that, friend, spelled doom to our first business enterprise, which but a few short hours be- fore, when the dew worms were popping up to right and left and fore and aftof us, we'd envisaged, advertised in neon lights, “Night Crawlers Unlimited”. Being a farmer by trade and a preacher by calling, I am very interested in the welfare of rural people. I know the joys and frus- trations of farming (and of the ministry) for I keep in close touch with both of these vocations. Therefore 1 have watched with great interest the trends ofagri- culture, much as skyrocketing costs, fluctuating prices, part- time farmers, and other jobhold- ing farmers, etc. lhave carefully observed movements by farm organizations in attempts to im- prove the lot of the family farm. Some of these actions are com- mendable while the others are morally debateable. Both the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Ontario Far- mers’ Union have sought to achieve economic improvements for rural people. The F.O.A. lays claim to having imported lower cost farm machinery while the Qt“. U. claims to have lowered the costof commercial fertilizer. (to mention only two) Both these acts are commendable achieve- ments. The tragedy has been that these acts have been done in a spirit of rivalry rather than in a spirit of co- operation.
