"Or a veiled hope that "If I wasnt so busy with this and that. I guess I could enter. .may- be a pig or two."

Had we poured the cooled cream to the can in the cellar? Or was it still on the shelf in the milk-hoiise to sour in the warmth of the day? Had we closed a south window as James had reminded lls? And the hens...dear. dear. we had completely forgotten to scatter last-minute grain for their evening feed! However. in the joy of the outing. presently all care was forgotten until hours later. -i: the end of a day that had beer. perfect if somewhat tiring. we picked them up again with a sight of home. And there it was nest- ling cozily against its hillside in jhe dusk, quiet and serene.....a. veritable haven after the noise and bustle and distraction of The Fair. And as we turned to its peace at,,lane's end we were sure to agree. even though there was in- cecision in our tones: "We won't bother to go again!"

Karolyn reared within sight and sound of the grounds. guessed Rob would he much disappointed "should the haying detain him at home”. To ' go or not was to Jeanie "the least of her worries." She is one to ac- cept in good part what the days bring. The younger farmer "sort of looks forward to it" and James expressed the opinion that "It would be good-doing farmers who could attend the Fair with a con- tented mind-and they with their hay not all gathered!"

Barton. nu), Ill-IEUMATIC FEVER AND HEAILT DISEASE IN SCBOOLCHILDBEN Rheumatic fever, so often (01. lowed by heart disease. is ch.v.ci. hoods greatest enemy, and since a considerable part of the ohi'..l's 53”! life is spent in the school Cl355l"00m. lrhe teacher can be of great service to the child who has suffered from it. So important is this matter at the schoolteacher and the child with heart disease that the Ameri- can Heart Association has publish- ed a booklet telling what am classroom teacher should know and do about children with heart dis. ease. The fact that rheumatic lev- er tends to run in families should put teachers and parents on guard. There is no simple test for diag- nosin-; rheumatic fever in ca earliest stages. As .1 teacher can- not recognize rheumatic fever and heart disease what can she do about it? The teacher can observe the denser slznais and refer the )0llnBSlEr to the school physicyn and nurse. or. if there is no gen- eral health program in the school. notify the parents about these drin- gcr signals. While the booklet sttiles that he following is not a list of specinc symptoms for rheumatic fever. the teacher can be pre'ty sure ma: there is something wrong with any child who shows these symptoms. And it may be rheumatic fever. "Watch ' for: failure to gain weight; pallor: Vbor appetite; fatigue; frequent colds. and sore throats; unexplained nosebleeds; Dam in arms. legs and joints: un- usual restlessness: irritability, Witching 01' lerky motions: behav- ior and personality changes; de. creasing accomplismencs in school by it child who has previously done well." The observant and informed teacher, knowing that there ii a silent phase or period in the tie. V9l0Dment of rheumatic fever, will be particularly observant of a child about one week to a month after he has recovered from a. cold or sore throat (strep throat) such as occurs with scarlet fever. Immediately on noticing 3. cold or sore throat infection. the child should be sent home and the fam- ily Physician called in. other mem- bers of the family with nose and throat infections should be kept from close contact with the rheu- matic child.
