Music is good for the mind. It is disciplinary, as wall the ancient Greeks knew when.they invented the isble of Orpheus who sub- dued fierce animals by it!

It is a co-operative art much featured in the Scandinavian !blk- schocls; and it leads to coopera- tion in other minor.

And vocal music is good for the body. The erect position and the .sxpanded lungs are a Hnd of in- sursnce against one of our dread- e dscourgu. " trustees do not push a potent for good"- the annotation "concludes, "is. as Lord Dundreary says. one oi the things a fellow simply can't understand."

Such were the arguments used 17 years ago. Public opinion ms turned. in the interim. to (music as a means of cultura- -and our highly successful Musical Pbstival is the result. There still remains a problem -- that of public "task." and at this point the Radio comes in. The broadcaster can help -if he will--by steering us clear from the incomprehensible diasonancea of modern foreign composers. and from the vapid strumniinga of in- ferior artistes.

It is said that there are no tor- toise-shell Tom cats. our tortoise- shell tabby had a litter last year in which there were two males. Both were of a warm sandy color and had light-blue eyes. It is said too, that cats with blue eyes are born deaf. and this appeared to be true for a while, but their eyes chimed color and the deafness disappeared. Now they are active, friendly. little creatures. and de- cidedly ornamental.

For some reason or other, our heaviest snowfall: often occur near the end of winter. 'mis is the time when birds (have special dif- floulty in finding food and even getting around. when sever-bl feet of snow cover the fields and the branches are laden. our small" seed-eaters cannot get at weed-seeds. and have no place' to perch. However, saute kinds are more often found in settled Gan-

'sda around this date than at my

other times. and certain species are equipped weather.

Watch out for Bohemian Wax- winga. Pine Grcsbesks. Evening Grosbeaks. and Crossbills. These Waxwings and the Pine Grnsbeaks prefer dried. waste fruit which hangs accessible from trees or shrubs! and the Evening Gros- bealrs like nothing better than long. winged seeds of the Mani- toba maples. Both kinds of Grass- bills feed largely upon the seeds of coniferous trees whose ever- green branches protoct the seeds from the heaviest snow.

The Owls of our section of Can- ada have no difficulty in surviving throughout a snowy season. Their legs and feet are feathered to pro- tect them from cold, and aid in keeping them from sinking into the snow. Their meals consist of other birds and little animals that are able to run over the surface. Mice and cuts are the most regul- ar' diet, but some of our big Owls. such as the Great Horned, are able to tackle anything as large as a grey or black squirrel, or some- times even a rabbit. Birds eaten

owls range in size from Eng- llsh sparrows to Pheasants.

The Ptarmigan of the north al- so has feathered feet excep when moultlng in mid-summer, and then for awhile they are bare. The Ruf- fed Grouse, found not so far from settlements but that ,it suffers much from hunters. wears snow- shoes in winter. These are formed by the growth in autumn of many little horny scales which fringe the sides of the toes. but are shed in the late spring. Therefore it is able to move about at will no mat- ter how deep the snow. However, when frost follows rain. sometimes a Grouse is sealed by a hard crust into a snow-bank where it has taken refuge from it storm. Both Ptarmigan and Ruffed Grouse have an ample food supply." for they eat evergreen buds. .-

If, then. we keep alert. some birds can be added to our list even in what may appear to be most unfavorable weather conditions.

Ontario's hog industry will be in- fluenced by an experiment being carried out on a spacious farm a. mile south of Milton. There Dr. Carl Martin, a qualified medical doctor who ceased practising when he took over active super- vision of the family food mill in Milton, is producing litters of pigs wiltose numbers and health have surprised deipartrnent offi-

cials and give promise that On- tario swine. bred-ers will i.-ncrease further bheir superiority in this field of Canadian agriculture. The Martin farm is the pilot plant in a revolutionary method of swine raising in Ontario. Plans formu- lated by Dr. Martin and the de- partment of agriculture call for the Martin pig-hatchery to mass produce sm.a.l.l pigs for farmers

throughout Ontario. iokisn-g' from the farmer the responsibility of breeding and nursing the young sucklirn-gs-a practice that has been a precarious venture under dreamt mortality rates for young hogs. Here pretty Twila Se ler and Nancy Malcom are seen id- ing two baaby porkers who will contribute to On-torio's 315,000,000 -hog industry.

Illstlllctive Stvllns i is cum: Feature

New 111,, , distinctive styling is the outstanding general feature of the 1091 Chrysler. according to John C. Ilcauire. general sales manager of the Chrysler-Plyinoutb Fargo Division , of the Chrysler Corporation of Canada. Limited. chief among the new sppelrluw items are bold horiaontal chrome bars on the grille. long graceful chrcmensouldings on front and rear fenders, and s new rear-win- dow that provides "observation car" view. More important among the engineering advances is a new eight-cylinder Firepower valve-in- head type engine on the Chrysler Imperial and New Yorker models.

There are many quality car style and comfort features to attract the motorists' eyes-smooth-flowing peaked-crown fenders; distinctive rear-end lighting assembly includ- ing automatic back-up lights: pad- ded arm rests on all dcors,' and on the Windsor Debuxe 4-door Sedan, a large centre arm rest in the rear seat that can be folded outsof the way when not required.

The decorator-styling of the Chrysler interiors is claimed to in- vite restful relaxation and com- fortable travel. Mr. McGuire oolnts out that the Chrysler seats are the same height from the flour as in motorist's favourite home chair. and allow driver and passengers to sit in a natural uncramped relaxed posture.

The seats are wide and deeply- cushfoned and the foot i'e"t is fixed. The styling of the instru- ment panei is particularly pleasing and is claimed to be functionally best for the driver.

Obrysler offers automatic shift- ing -with its Fluid-Matic Transmis- sion (standard on the wlndsir De- Luxe and optional on the Windsor models) to provide the modem lccnvenience of normal driving. lwithout shifting gears. On the Chrysler Imperial 8-passenger se- dan and limousine there is a. new Fluid Torque converter used in conjunction with the M-6 controll- ed-type automatic transmission and the Firepower engine. Driver op- eration is the same as with the wnventionni Fluid-Matic transmis- sion, except that an even greater percentage of the driving will be done in the high gear.
