One of the essentials of a firsrvlsit to Bedgebury is a firm determination to keep to the recommended route in the guide and not to be lured elsewhere by something interesting in the dis- tance. The show piece of the National Pinetum is the Cypress Valley. and there is nothing likeithe clols- tered calm that pervades this era- clianting spot. The tall. columnar shapes of the cypressas have some- thing of theieffect that one experi- ences among the arches and bil- lara of a Gothic church. The trees are closely planted. so that one can never see more than a few yards ahead. The illusion of length. although Cypress Valley is not large. is quite remarkable. It is one 'of.the most imaginative pieces of planting ever seen. There is a Juniper Bank and a Spruce Vai- ley and then around the lake and the road home. To the visitor the National Pine- tum impresses you with two funda- mental prinoiples of good garden- ing. Tho first is that the basis of good garden design is form. not color. The Pinetum is supremely beautiful. and it owes that beauty almost entirely to the subtle varia- tions in shape and habit of the trees. , The second point is that we are far t afraid of formality in gar- den design. Curves are difficult things to deal with at any time and straight lines harmonise with our homes so should be used more and more. V In this Province there are many Pines planted. thanks to the For- est Nursery and much beauty is added to our own country. CHRISTMAS The wintry winds of Christmas That sweep the Eastern sky.

En- route the long arm of the law gave her I ticket for speeding. The ticket was signed by Patrol- man Thomas Measel. The figure of the witch occurs in every part of the world. among the” civilized and the primitive peo- pies. The Balinese people believe their bodies store up magic power. that helps them to withstand the on- slaught of witches. Some persons are able to store up more power than others. Those who can store the greatest amount become priests and witch doctors. Their magic in time comes to serve their will and they believe they posses supernatural powers. witch doctors may be good or evil de- pending upon the thoughts they carry in their hearts. The Balinese must ever be on their guard to maintain their psychic purity. The state of being unclean renders them more vulmr- able to the forces-of evil. The witch-doctors and priests who combat evil must go through transformations so that they will understand just what they are up against. Colin McPhee tells an interesting experience he had with a Balinese witch in his book. "A House in Bali." He said he awoke one night feeling that someone had called his name. There was a bright light burning on his bedroom floor. He Uisn " Japan's New Goyernmenf ls Soliclly .ln Fr " TOKYO.
