A beautiful Coleus was seen this week in a sunporch with other lovely house plants and as it is the genemus way of the gardener a slip wss given to me. I kept thinking of all the gifts of small started slips from favorite flaw- ers that are given to everyone who expresses a wish for them.

This Coleus was a. velvety crimson and of I beautiful form. Probably the best way to get a. stock of these colourful plants is to buy a packsge of seeds, set the seedlings out in the garden in the spring and rigorously select the best forms for propagation by cuttings. This last. is easy. for tip cutting make roots with rapidity if inserted in moist, sandy soil and covered with a glass and kept shsded for a couple of weeks.

Winter Woodland

These are those who do not care for winter. They think of Nature's dormant period as a time to be endured until snow and cold. ice and crying winds have returned to northland lairs and the warmth of Spring brings green grass. bright flowers and the elemental fragrance of warming soil. But there are those who accept the fundamental rhythms of the turn- ing year and in each find beauty and satisfaction. Among maples and oaks. beeches and birches. there is peace and solace.

Grey days or bright, the trees remind one of etchings with their distinct boles and branches. Bark patterns are clear and one can see shining colors in the buds. There are stories to be read in a winter woodland. trails of deer- mice, rabbits, foxes and wea- sels. Beneath a birch you may see bits of bark where partridge: were budding at dawn. snow-covered brushpile a rabbit spent the night: here a fox sniff- ed Long Ears tracks.

In that silver maple, far out on s horizental limb, is the wind- iorn remnant of that scarlet tand- ger's nest for which you searched fruitlessly last June when the burred. sleepy-slow song of the handsome red and black fellow was pleasant summer music a- mong leaf shadows. Grey squir- rels nests arc leafy bulks in cro- tches of the sugar maples.

Every person should have a woodland in his life; in spring, summer and autumn it iellls it; interesting stories. Now in Feb- rurary one can read Winter's clear pages.

four years ago visitors to the Provincial Building first began to notice a smartly uniformed man at the entrance of the building. who courteoualy directnd them to various Provincial Gorvsmrnsnt de- partments. This efficient official. Mr. Robert Craig, was one of the ilrst members in this Province, of a nationally known body. the Can- adian Corps of commissionalres. Today Ghsir' ttetown has sixteen representatives of the Corps. em- ployed in a variety of tasks throughout the City. and their number is growing each year.

The Corps originated in England. it was started in 1859 in s small way. to find decent employment for ex-soldiers who were partially incapacitsted by wounds. orl ill- ress. and were unaible to do stren- izous or exacting duties.

The Canadian Corps of Commis- sionaires was formed in 1937. and men wearing its uniform are now on duty in every Province of the Dcminion. The Corps is self sup- porting. The Government gives its approval. authorizes its uniforms. Bflfi emplovs many Commission- aires. but does not otherwise con- tribute to its support. The men themselves by monthly dues pay the expense of the office which looks after their affairs. They buy their own uniforms. Each division is edminislered by is board of gov- ernors, from whom are appointed an executive committee and the divisional officers. None of these receive anv remuneration.

lieutenant Colonel F. B. Conrad M M.. E.D.. of Charlottetown is a member of the Board of Governors of the New Brunswick division rt-presenting Prince Edward Island. He has been active in promoting the interest of the Corps in this Province and under his direction it is expanding and establishing a line reward to service. Colonel Conrad carefully screens all rippli- cations for enrollment in the Corps and insists that the Corps stand- rirds be maintained. The recruit is only accepted if it is found:

1. That he has had satisfactory active service in one of His Majes- ivs services. and has been honor- nnly discharged with the character, of "Very Good".

2. That there is no record of his (Ver having been convicted against the Criminal Code of Canada.

The National Employment Of- flce, Charlottetown, cooperates with Colonel Conrad in the selection of men. It maintains a file of re- turned war veterans and from this file men are referred to Colonel Conrad when vacancies occur. Summerside is represented on the Board of Governors by Squad- ron Leader R. E. Ellis. and the town now has four veterans wear- ing the blue uiilform and distinct- lve badges of the Corps.

The Provincial Governmcntwheii it placed its first Commissloiialrc on dutv at the Provincial Build- ing, did so on a temporary basis. The Government was not con- vinced that a man performing such duties was necessary. Within a few months all doubts were dlsspelled The Commissionalre. Mr. Craig. proved his usefulness in many ways. He assisted people. unfamil- iar with the Provincial and other Govemmcnt buildings, to flrid the office they wanted. He proved very efficient in conducting tour- lsts through the Confederation Chamber. and has been of valti- able assistance at many public functions, such as the opening of the House. the Royal visit and other ceremonies. Impressed by the outcome of this appointment. the Provincial Government has since engaged two more Commis- slonaires for service at Prince of Wales College. .

failed. Farther down. where the water was swift, too swift tofreeze he could see some Duck swimm- ing. He envied them. "If only I could swim as they can. I would have that fish in a jiffy," he thought. Slowly. that fish drift- ed toward the swift water. Slowly, Blacky walked along on the ice. if that fish reached the swift wa- ter, Blacky would have no chance at all of getting it.

Just as Blacky was beginning to lose hope, a little cross-current in the wafer drifted that small fish close to the ice. Blacky al- most fell in the water in his hurry to snatch it out. He swallowed that fish almost whole. He flew over to a lone tree and sat there for a while in solid conleiitment. As he sat there. he thought a- bout that meat he had seen beside that little brook in the woodland. The more he thought about it the more he wondered about it. How did it come to be there? He thought he knew that it had been left by a Man he had seen. But if so, why had it been left there? The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. Now that he had had a. good break- fast. there was no reason why he shouldn't go back and see if that meat was still there.

"live got to know," said Blscky to himself. "I've just got to know." So once more he spread his black wings and flew over to the wood land through which the small tbrook flowed. When he came in sight of where the first piece of meat had been. he a- lighted in the top of a tall tree. the same tree from which he had first looked that place over. Yes, the little piece of meat was there. but Blacky had a feeling that it wouldn't be there long. There was someone very near it looking at it hungrily. It was a young Mink. Just then Billy Mink popped his head out of the water. He scram- bled ashore and pushed the young Mink away. all the time scolding him. That settled it. Blacky knew now there was something
