A country Garden by In. Gordon Ilsemiilsn

——.—

The poet Tennyson writes of the Snowdrops. one of the first Spring bulbs to bloom in the month of February in England.

Msny, many elcomes, February fslr-meld. Ever u of old time. Solitary firstling. Coming in the cold time, Prophet of the gay time, Prophet of the May timq Prophet of the roses. Many, many welcomes February fair-maid.

In this country we wait until next month before we see them. and sometimes later, but it all de- pends on the season. I have rt- ceived I letter from a gardener in the Esstern part of the Island and she writes about several early bulbs in her garden that I do not have, and I know she has a lovely garden. She asks about the old fashioned Sweet Briar rose, the fragrant Eglantine the very old English rose. It is not

’ Pioneer Days In I’. E. I.

By I. ll. HIcAl1.I|II.I'

When Mr. Ind Mrs. John Mac- Rse took up had It Argyle Shore they had two cows and I pair of sheep but very little pasture Is most. of their farm was covered with timber. Like other pioneers, John Ind Laura were determined to see their venture through, come what might.

Day after day, John felled the trees that grew tall and thick near their shack. Only at meal- time waa he to be found in thg house. and his wife, Laura, cook- edthe meals, tended the cows and sheep, as well as the hundred and one odd chores that needed atten- tion in and around their new home.

Thus this hardy pair toiled on and on. proud in the knowledge that each day came to a close with something worth while ac- _complished.

e e

The winter months drew to an end. and the first spring rains be- gan to fall upon the roof of their humble home. In a short time the little plot of land they had laboriously cleared the year be- fore would be ready for cultivat- ing and seed. The spring and summer would bring longer days, and longer days would bring more toll to this couple who already were bearing the yoke of count- less hardships, but they were al- ways courageous and full of hope, that hope which “springs eternal in the human breast.“

That year. the little Crop which they'd planted and cared for so tenderly yicldcd its full measure; a pair of lambs were added to the sheep and Bossy, the black and white heifer, proudly ambled along beside a new calf. Laura and John Macllac thanked God for all the blessings lie had be- stowed upon them.

Come Septeniber. the month when the wild creatures of the forest became hungry and dan- gerous. A man from Dcsablc pad- dled along thc south shore in his tiny canoe. When he had come within hailing distance of the MacRae home he rested his pad- dle lbng enough to warn Laura and John that bears were on the warpath. They had killed and eaten two of his best lambs the day before.

.

John shouted his thanks to the stranger. Then, turning .10 his wife, he said. “Let's round up our sheep, Laura, lest the bears de- vour them."

It was growing dark when they'd reached the tiny sheep pas- ture Ind suddenly Laura called out loudly: “O John! I see some black objects moving about among the alder bushes."

John rushed to the spot. axe in hand, ready for any eventualities. Ind just as he reached the clump of Ilders he was horrified to see his wife attacking a large bear with nothing but I stick in her hand, screaming at the top of her voice, “Be off. you rascal of I thief! You've just killed our fattest sheep!"

John rushed at the bear. but. already the frightened animal had turned tail and was starting to slink off through the woods. "LIura,” said her husband. “you scared the critter most to death with nothing but I stic ."

You certainly are making much ado . about nothing. For what hes your poor husband done

And he danced with a show girl! of them are honest, hard-working girls who are hired to dance with strangers that they never saw before and never expect to see again. And it is no treat to them to dance with some middle-aged married man who hasn't been on a ballroom floor since his first baby was born.| and who is heavy and clumsy and steps all over their feet.

So do try to'see how silly you are in getting in a panic over some- thing your husband did that had no wrong in it except what you put into it yourself, and ho\v foolish you were to make an issue of an episode that you should have laughed off. Think of the heartburnings and rcproaches and accusations and quarrels that you would have been spared if you had just been interested in your husband’: night out in Continued on page 9

And so yesterday morning, I: things will come to intrude them- selves into ones thoughts, or beg. for still, to bcguiie one away to old scenes, or often to set one to building fair castles, while hands are taken up with an item of housework or other interest of the moment. we thought of Janet of U18 long 880. and how much she had wanted a Valentine to asend to a lovcd one. She is gone now. as lS be. but it is “passing strange" how so much as a sight of Jamie’: missivcs brought their memories to mind. We recalled how kindly a woman she was in the home. where her innate good sense seem- ed to assure her that true hos- piialityldoes not always come out of having an abundance of this world's goods, but often out of only modest circumstances and in very ordinary places. And to re- member her is to marvel that the little she had to give, was unfail- ing and like the lad with the loaves and fishes she fed a multi- tude that came to her door.

‘ lThal Body Of Yours By James W. BI:-ton, MD. VARICOSE VEINS

If you have varicose veins. Incl they bred! down causing varicose ulcer. it may mean weeks off your feet in order to allow the ulcer to heal, or for surgical removal of the vein in which the ulcer cccura. In t'houssnd5' of cases. however, this has been avoided by the re- moval of varicose veins by injec- tions. These imujeotiorus are given in the surgeon's office; there is no need of stay in hospital.

First consult your physician as to whether your particular varicose veins can be removed by injections or if surgical removal is necessary. Before giving any advice as to the method of removal of the varicose veins. your physician may make a test by which he can find w'.ie.t.hcr the inner or deep veins will be able to carry the blood bar:.‘.f to the heart if the outer varicose veins. which we can see, are removed. the deeper veins will carry the b‘ood back to the heart when outer vuricose veins are closcd by the test pressure. then the varicose veins can be removed either by in- jeotions or surgery.

Most of us wonder why some heavy iridividuals who are on their feet most of the time develop vari- cose veins and other heatvy indi- viduals doiru the same work do not. This is explained by the valve system of the veins of the legs and lower part of abdomen. T-hese vuilves prevent the blood in the lower Ibdomen and legs from flowing be... 6 or downward. Ind eruure its being pushed on- ward toward the heart by the clas- ticity of the VIII]: of the veins.

In individuals where there are no vslves in the lower abdomen and Iboutflhe groin, the blood can drop J. and no cause the veins to become ‘ - ‘. thickened. Ind twisted. which

condition is called vsricose veins. (In the upper Ib- domen Ind chest. there Ire. of course, no valves. Ind therefore. there csn be no varicose veins in this region.)

our resesrch workers tut us this lsok of vslves In lower hi region or the groin (which seems to run in some families) , “‘ with some lsck of elasticity in the walls of the 'veins. brings on vul- cose veins. most frequently in those who no overweight, Ind whose work keeps them on their feet in I. standing position. If they were to move about. it would cause the muscles to push blood onward instesd of letting it lie in the veins to become vericoeed.

Keep moving.

1 I BELIEVE‘ IN PRAYER.

By Eddie Rickenbacker

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker is high on the list of America's heroes. A man of inspired and demon- strated faith, he has become in his lifetime almost I legendary figure. He is president of Eastern Air Lines. and one of the count.y's most vital Ind It-tlvc business lead- ers.

There are a lot of things about; the human mind and soul .hat. we» don't know much about. we get! glimpses of them when in times of] danger or suffering we cross a llL— . tle way over the line of ordinary? thought.

As I roared down the last stretch . in an automobile race years ago, I felt that I potld co..trol that! machine with my mind. that I could hold it together with my mind; and that if it finally collapsed I‘: could run it with my mind. It was[ a feeling of mastery, of supreme. confidence. But it was real.

If I had said such a thirg then, the boys would have called me crazy. Even now I can't explain it.

Think Positively

But I believe that if you think disaster you will get it. Brood about death. Ind you hasten your demise. Think positively Icd masterfully. with confidence and faith. and life becomes more secure, more fraught with sction. richer in achievement Ind experience.

Perhaps such things as the con- urol of mind over matter and the transmission of thought waves are tied up togethfl. part of some- t.hing,so big we haven't grasped it yet. It's part of us and part of the something that is looking after us. It's one of the things that make me believe in personal protection and in life after death. I don't know how to put it into words.

Another strange thing happened to me. several years ago I was flying to Chicago. It was a Sunday Iftemoon in the middle of Dec- ember. Ind the weather was miser- able. We suddenly lost. the radio beam. For I long time we cruised back and forth trying to pick it up. I-‘bg was all around us.
