His holidays over, Jamie blithely let off for school this momtng. "Would you not rather remain at home to help us with the work?" James asked him at breakfast. "No." Jamie replied without hesi- tation and laughed broadly: "Do you think I'd rather stay at home 30 help store wood? Not ll" "But." James said. reviving old and dis- zurblng memories of his boyhood. You'll have to do problems . . . ind write compositions." "There ire worse things in the world than A few school-problems" Jamie :huckled. "And as for composi- tions-my spelling isn't too 'hot'- but they're only fun. if you like .t."

So his choring completed. and obviously happy Jamie pointed his 'bike" toward another term in the school of his district. A changed seat of learning it is this year, owning now two clam-rooms in-E stead of the one of last term. in Karol;-n's absence, we watched him down the laneway then facel the rise of i'oafi'.t.'iy uhich hounds this and the opposite farm. to dis-l appear soon amid an aisle of :pl'llCCE.

There was no stop on the way to )IlCl' iu bottle of milk to the black- iosed pct lamb. Whether in his haste to be off to school he had forgotten this until recently a

ally rite with the lads, or that ho? was trying to write the fetching animal's name off his heart in this way, we could only conjecture. In any event, he knew tin: lambs were to be marketed this morning. Per- haps as he passed the old trysting place he dropped a long sigh or maybe a boy's tear-on this his first Lrlp to school.

"Ba-a-a." the bleats were infre- quent as it happened and yet as none we had ever heard before. Plaintlve. meaningful on our ear as the little truck sped through the frv-sh loveliness of morning on its way to the city. And falling away or rising from the roadsides. often in the wide vistas of charm, new panoramas were spread . . . rich gold of the harvest fields. some rippled fetchingly by the August breeze. others come now to various stages of the harvesting.

"Just fair-good this year." James beside us offered." only fair-good. No surplus of stocks at all . . whatever the yield will be-not too much straw I'm thinking. Not much like the hay crop--there was so much of it. I guess" he said ”a few extra. stacks of hay won't go amiss this winter-folks will likely. find use for them before the stock comes to grass in the spring."

. . o

How blue was the morning-sky. How sparkling the river-how al- together lovely the day." A few days like this will bring in the late grain." James catching the sun's mellow glory commented, thoughts on our fields." and this moon. El- len, that will ripen it too."

"Ba-a-e." we heard the smell voice. It spoke of spring days in the sheltered corner-field by the road; of lads bringing milk to it. stopping then to play or just to hold it, arms about a wooiy neck . . . clovery-scented days of sum- mlf. long but fast-slipping. And now! Soon there was a halt before a marketing place in the city-one Gage knows very well. and he alighfpd with his Dad and James. We have not inquired since of what lay in the brief interval before they rejoined us. But. "I hope." he said when he agani settled him- self on our knee. "the next pet- iamb we own will be a ewe."

TEN GUIDES FOR THE FOLIO SEASON

As this is the season for epidem- ics of poliomyelitis. parents are naturally anxious to take all pos- sible precautions to protect their children from this disease. For this reason. the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has issued a leaflet to physicians which answers questions asked by anxious parents. The letter is signed by Roland l-l. Berg. Director. Scientific Inform- ation. The pamphlet gives ten guides for the polio season.

1. Allow children to play with friends they have been with right along. There are three different viruses that cause polio. Your child-

ren have already been exposed to;

whatever polio virus may be in their group and they may developed immunity against it.

2. Before you travel. be sure you're lint licatlcfl lcr nii :v'.'ca where polio outbreaks are being i - ported. Polio time IS the time to stay at home with everyday com- panions. D

. Teach children to carefully before eating after using the toilet. into through the mouth.

4. See that children do not use soiled toivcls. wasliclofhs. dishes or glassware. Polio virus cniild he car- ried from those things to other people.

5. Do not let children become fatigued or chilled. Overtired or chilled bodies are lcss able to fight off polio.

6. Follow your doctor's advice about nose and tlirnat. npcrntions inoculations or teeth extinctions during the polio season.

'1. Watch for signs of sickness that may mean the beginning of polio: headache. foyer. sore tliro.-it. upset stomach. Iondcriinss and stiffness of the neck and back.

8. Put a sick person to bed at once. away from others, and call the doctor.

9. Have confidence in your doc- tor who knows how to treat polio if your child has this disease. there is a better than even chance he will recover without paralysis.

ll). formation or financial help your family needs for polio care can be obtained by telephoning your local chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.

The clerk just had completed a quarter century of faithful service. At the end of the day the boss handed him an envelope inscribed. "In token of this memorable date."

The clerk opened the envelope and inside it he found a phony. graph of his employer.

"Well. what do you think of my gift to you in recognition of your devoted service?" asked the pro- pi-ietor.

"It's just like you." was the am. bliuous reply.

31 Mn. Gordon Macmillan "rjLow1tn -snow TODAY!”

This is A day that flower lovers look forward to for weeks and wish that they had taken more care with their plants so they might win a bright ribbon.

In this garden plants are crowd- erl together for massed effect and so there are never any exhibition flowers but we are looking for- ward to seeing many lovely flow- ers grown by other good garden- PPS.

Dean Hole writes:

I have always believed that the happiness of mankind may be in- creased by encouraging that love of a garden. that love of the beautiful. which is innate in us all. So let us all attend the Flower Show today to encourage those who are making life more beaut- iful for us all.

August is the month for beaut- iful glads. and there is not a more decorative and long lasting cut flower grown. The very large glands. are suitable for churches and halls and now we are given by the hyhrldisfs. lovely new min- iziture glafls. These are lovely for home decoration and small vases.

This year glads were planted in

ment until next March when they will he started again. They are very satisfactory bulbs and with care will last several years.

Clematis Jzickmannl is covered with ptirple bloom and this vine has been lovely for weeks requir- ing very little attention through the year. I find the hybrids are not quite so easy to grow. The new salmon pink phlox is a late liloomer as I wished and more plants will be planted this fall.

This is the time to order your tulips for autumn planting, as first orders will be sure In be ftlled, and the nursery man will thunk you for early ordering. The Cotton Memorial Nursery will have a large. number of varieties to choose from at a saving price. and next May and June you will be very happy if you plant even a few of these lovely flowers.

Leave until hardened and then add a second layer of paraffin.

Save The Wafer

Don't throw away the water in which your vegetables have been cooked. The Department of Na- tional Health and Welfare says such water in rich in minerals and vita- mine. It should be used to enrich gravles, soups or vegetable drinks.

The department also says that homegrown vegetables should form a. part of the daily diet. Those grown in the garden or on nearby farms will be fresher and more fin. vol-some than those which travel from distant areas.
