Ellen ’s Diary

‘I ll Ill-Ill Illicit‘! W!!! ’ ‘Q

It was Jamie and grand-daugh- ter and Jeanie about the lawn yes- terday, that poking about beneath their Winter coverings found quits a wealth of tulips and daffodils and others of the spring flower. ing bulbs already astir. Iridemi while chill winds were still blow- ing and snow flurrles whirling iri wild measures along the slopes of our valley these must have hearil the wake-up call and commenced at once to send up colorful stubs in a miracle of new growth. The children visited the birds’ nests, the one low in the Rowan tree in the border and the one Jamie and I found last Summer tucked a~ WHY cunniiigly amid the shrubbery oi’ wandering rose bushes along the lane. Beth are bare and desolate yet. One could only conjecture what grand-daughter's thoughts were. “A nestl" she repeated the words after Jamie, then laughed showing a perfect row of teeth and was gone quickly to a fresh interest. Yesterday with its bright sunlight and gentle breezes was sent for such small folks as these.

We lost the sunshine today‘, but found it later in a nice clearing i-iit of rose at sundown. Barely a rib bon of color at first, it widened until soon the west was suffused with its richness and the "vars' and spruces were spired and tur. retted against its ruddy glow. Jamie, our over-night guest was leaving for home then, going thither with Rob who had been at Alder- lea for the last of the wood-saw- ing. This included an amount of stakes for a seasonal work in the offing, enough Jeanie felt sure "to put a fence around Texas!" Jamie waved from the sleigh and then set his face — and thoughts to- wards home towards which the black Mutt-dog eagerly led the way. Much that was new had happened in Jamie's brief absence. t I O

He mentioned some of these things this morning when we were loitering down to lane's end "for the mail. Would his bridge, the one he had painstakingly built "on a pretty solid foundation" across a thawing streamlet in the yard be washed away in the increasing run of today? Tinkllng brooklets were dropping into the mill stream at the time, low since recent fresh- et strength, flowing clearly now but between sinister depths of mud and ice, fascinating in their strangeness. to Jamie and- me. "Guess all the trout will be gone down the river" Jamie observed peering over the laneway bridge where not even a fingerling ap- peared in the clearness. We lin- gered there llstening to the new voices of the birds and then steal- thiiy hunted a robin who was prac- ticing first notes somewhere among the Alder: by stream-side. The squirrel was there on the Hemlock, but not to engage us in much con- versation in the insistence of in- door tasks though Jamie laughed until the echoes came back to us in merry tones, when she "chir- r-red" in what must. have been “ha1lol" for our pleasure.

When we see how the prepareU tion of DDT kills lice and other. tiny insects, and know that lihis death-dealing substance is being used in great quantities by house- holders, We are concerned as to the wisdom of having ‘t in the home for any purpose whatever.

Until recently there has been no means of kilowing just how dan- gerous DDT is to man, but Dr. R. M. Garret in “Alabama. State Medl- cal Association Journal" states that an accident has made known the effects of DDT on man. A group of Formosan prisoners cf war were punished f0: refusing to perform assigned duty by being de- prived of their evening meal. About midnigiht they stole a box

And look at the way we do about our health. All ql us know that the way to keep well is to eat moderately. take exercise, sleep plenty and keep out in the fresh air and sunshine as much as possible. But dc we use this common sense way of preserving our health? Not at all. We put our faith in drugs and doctors and hospitals and following all -sorts of health fads. -

Then there are the fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers and cousi s and aunts who weep upon our breasts because they are so misera le living together and because they get on each othei-‘r nerves. Why haven't they common sense enough to get up and leave? Half the family difficulties in the world could be solved by a railroad ticket to some point a thousand miles distant. '

Yes, common sense is the panacea for most human ills, but the sad part is that. we just don't use it.
