For Tomorrow

IT is probable that a certain strange, irregular and unpredict- able course of events may upset preparations and demand a' re- vision of all plans and programs. Sudden events may prove spec- tacular. perhaps sensational. al- though the alluring prospects for gain, with radical change, promo- tion. or public recognition. may be a thrilling incentive to "take a chance" whatever the outcome Tangible results promise for the ambitious.

For the Birthday

Those whose irthday it is are at the crossroa of most alluring prospects for a change of vital and Far-reaching consequence. Willie the opportunities on the surface teem clear and dependable. there nay be R VlVlfl and dubious chalice if making a blunder. There may be 1 choice between two promising of- fers or situations in which promo- zion, honors. and financial in- :rease beckon. Eagerness to go for- ward seems to obliterate the haz- ards or more personal obligations )f new environs. The game seems to be uwgth the candle. The "break"

A doctor was summoned to a wild district in the Highlands, and after seeing his patient he said to her husband. "You've been trying to do a bit of doctoring yourself, haven't you, William?"

"Aye," said the man." I gave her a wee bit dose of ipecacuanha."

"Pooh." said the doctor; "you might as well have given her aurora boreallis."

"Aye. I ken. I was g in to t that next." 0 8 ry

"No. sir. I don't think so." the rustic replied. .

"But you seem to be fishing."

"Yes. sir."

"Then what is your object?" .fMy Oblect, sir, is to show the wife that I've no time to peel the potatoes." '

cover the Hybrid Tea Roses and it is quite a task to bring the good earth in the small wheelbarrow from a distance to cover about a hundred roses. Through the years I have found that hilling up earth around these tender roses pro- tects them all winter until some day in May -the earth is taken away gradually and the roses cut back to the green growth. The idea of winter covering is to keep the cold in and avoid the freezing and thawing.

Those who live where winter in- jury to their roses never occurs can consider themselves lucky. Actually. only a very email per- centage of the area of the United states and Canada is entirely free from winter damage. In many sec- tions winter protection must be a regular cultural practice. Where the'mlnimum temperature can be expected to go below 5 degrees

He has been obliged to Join in Jamie's enforced ab- sence from school of late, being I bit young to face the world alone. and finds tedious time on his hands.

Now, bedtime was approaching, that” hour when the peace and calm of day's end seems to pen- courage an answering serenity in the hearts of such small ones. James smiled and patted a dark head tenderly. "Are you the same fellow I called from that tree-top today?" he questioned. The youngster nodded .shxiy.- "But I didn't fall!" he observed. "No." Jan-in agreed. "but you mi t have!" "Tell umabout when y u wdre young," the youngster. with an adroitness worthy of mature years. turned the issue aside and into channels more'.pleasant.

Reinlndful of aosimllar obliga- tion of old which summoned folks along crowded ways and - from afar to a town set among Judean hills. this was Tax v night for our farmers-or at least the Secretary of this district present- ed them with their bill of indebt- edness towards the upkee of the two-roomed school where Jamie and Gage and their comrades at- tend classes.

This is too often a harried posi- tion. if most helpful and honor- able, but acceptably filled at pres- ent and for some years now by a farmer who brings many gifts to the chore: an alert business mind,

and tolerance and a kindly wit to mooth the bumps along the trail. While this and "the other farm" lie side by side in the same school district Alderlea belongs to and indeed is one boundary of that to the south . .. ln Rob's absence. James called for the total. then settled himself more comfortably in the armchair. Then it was that scenes from his past returned to mind!

He cleared his throat. "A-hem! Times have changed." he offered soberly. "How could a farmers meet a school-tax like that in olden times?" he queried.

"I don't know," our visitor smil- ed, "I do know, he wouldn't want to owe too many of them! He would be a little uneasy. I'm thinking."

"But relatively it's pretty much the same." we offered.I "There's less value now in the dollar. con- sequently where once one would do. now it takes a handfull On the other hand. it's easier for a farmer to gather them in . . ." "But for one DUYDOSG. Elle”-" James chuckled ruefully. "only to pay thtm out again! Yes" he nod- ded "times have chlmztd." , "For the better?" we queried. But James only smiled in reply- It is a question which, to farm folk. presents many debatable angles. '

SAVING LIVES FROM A DISEASE! FORMERLY AIAVAYS FATAL

"Seven years ago we knew one definite fact about tuberculous men- ingitis .. death in every case in about six weeks."

In a special article on tubercu- lous meningitis prepared for Mod- ern Medicine. of Canada. by Dr. Gladys L. Boyd. physician .1" charge of tuberculosis at the Hos- pital for Sick Children and at the I. 0. D. E Hospital. Tomato. itgis stated that this formerly fatal dis- ease is now one in which recovery and return to normal are expected for many patients. "Daring the six years ending October. 1951, the

Hospital for Sick Children. Tor- onto, was 31 per cent: the death rate was 100 per cent in 1946 and is per cent in 1951."

Dr. Boyd statesxthat. "while treat- ment is long drawn-out and pain- ful and progress often discouraging to parent and physician alike. suc- cess is a modern miracle (every case formerly died) and well compen- sates for all the bleakness along the way."

Despite the fact that cases of tuberculosis are now more common than formerly. even with all our modern knowledge. prevention is still the most successful treatment and treatment by vaccination with B. C. G. in Sweden. a case of tuber- culous meningitis has not been seen in six earl.

"Th same applies to Denmark. In our hospital alone. 130 oases have been admitted in the same period. Despite all thecontroverlial material published as to results of .3.
