Yes, on foot he came along the fields between, which before long will steam and dry in the increased strength of the sunlight.

What bleatings our arrival had occa- sioned as anxious mothers called to and were answered by their lambklne! And how lovely with the afterglow of evening about! "That one didn't seem to winter well," the man explained to James when a ewe, sizable but miserable in appearance claimed his atten- tion . . . James is the best one to detect ominous signs and omens in an animal's eye or posture! "But I'm giving her bits of this and that - a few sliced potatoes. a lick of mineral, a handful of grain . . . If I can manage to bring her along for a fortnight or so," he said, "it's amazing what the spring will do to animals. And" he smiled, "to humans too.” "And isn't that a truth!" James nodded. "Isn't it a great feeling when the day finally comes that you exchange the ldraggy' foot- wear of winter for the lighter leather boots? It makes so much difference” he chuckled. "that sometimes you wonder if you're still in the flesh... so much lighter you seem. Yes sir." he said, "it's a great day when you can catch a glint of new green on the fields!" a A cloudy day this has been- "not unlike April." we said. Windy. mild, with snow still cuddling the farmlands. But there was coasting this morning - all too brief a spell of it, before school-time, down along the slope which dips to the mill-stream. "There never was the like of it . . . if only it would stay!” But how could it, with a cutting wind of the south . and thawing streamlets soon trickling? The little lad of place, clad in a new pair of denim overalls, con- veniently pocketed, rejoined his classes after some time of enforc- ed absence due to a lingering cold. And then because they had been "promised for 'a long time - and people just have to keep their word" they have gone with their Dad to attend a last game of hockey, in a series, at a country i-ink. In consequence of "a sound of go- ing," the younger fellow needed no reminder to attend to his home- work. "The first thing I have to do." he observed. making what he calls "a funny face," as he brought his reader and settled himself in the armchair, "is to get this off my mind. If I don't." he grinned- happtly, "I just may miss some- thing. But not Jamie. . . Oh no. he would have his all learned! Do you know what I have to learn be- sides this? spellings! Why?"

These two girls have finished many lovely items of "fancy work", but their latest. I think, really tops them all. ' They took a piece of heavy cot- ton. tacked it i'lrmiy on a hard level surface and then drew amap of the Maritime Provinces on it. They marked in rivers, boundar- ies, and industries thus-rivers were outlined in deep blue. as was the coastline: airports had tiny airplanes to show their location; Indian reservations had tiny In- dian hgures in raised embroidery work; harbors had tiny ships neat- lng placidly at anchor; lumbering centres, marked by tiny green spruces; fishing centres were shown by means of tiny silvery colored fish and so on and on. The finished product was really beautiful and the girls told me they not only had a lot of fun do- lng it but learned a great deal also about our own Mlaritimes. . . . 2. Tuesday: with Easter Rab- bits poking their long ears up in the most unusual places. it's high time to begin thinking about Eas- ter goodies of all sorts. what nicer gift for a friend at this time or year than a gay Easter basket filled to the brim with an assort- ment of cookies and other tooth- some delights!

Place on a greased cookie sheet and top with a quarter of cherry. Chill for 15 minutes to prevent flattening. Bake in a moderate oven (323Ql 20 to 25 minutes. Makes about 3 dozen cookies. 3. Wednesday: Hobbies. they say make happy people and I truly believe they do. (I must. pretend mastering the typewriter is a hobby, maybe ill! enjoy the pro- cess much better then!) some people collect stamps,eome collect buttons. others tiny pitch- ers or old-fashioned slipper pin- cushions and so on. There are so many interesting and absorbing hobbies that it would take more than a column to enumerate them all. One lady I know. grows tiny dwarf trees-ming type. of course one has to send away for cuttings of these but she has found her hobby paid off. Now she canit sup- ply the demand for tiny ming trees. An elderly gentleman col- lects multl-colored stones on ev- ery trip he makes to the shore. These he uses to build tiny forts. old castles and drawbridges. He, too, finds his hobby very pront- able.

PATIENCE IN EXAMINlNG AILING ELDERLY PERSONS Although geriatrics, the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses of the aged, is a new specialty. most gen- eral pmctitloiiers tfamily physic- ians), knowing the patient and his background. are able to help the patient obtain relief from his symptoms. I have written before of a prom- inent physician emerging from middle to old age who said that now he was old and he must ex- pect to slow up mentally and phy- sically and must naturally expect to have rheumatism and arthritis. I have written before of the statement of Dr. Margery Warren in Medical Annual, "It must be fully realized that growing old is the normal process of aging and that this is a general, gradual, slow process. It consists of running down of the human organism, with lessening strength, a tendency to slower movement "and less activity. with lessening in the sharpness of the senses, a lessening of the pow- ers of mental concentration, and n desire for longer periods of rest with more time to reminisce than to become interested in new sub- jecls." As we consider the above des- cription of the aging process. we can appreciate how, as these changes come on slowly and grad- ually. the patient must not realize that he is growing old, and so the physician has a more difficult time getting a clear history of his all- ments from the elderly than from the younger patient. As most of us know. the phy- sician has to has! his diagnosis and treatment of symptoms on what he finds out for himself (objective symptoms) and what the patient tells him (subjective symptoms). "It is of course often difficult to obtain a good clinical history from an elderly person; partly by his lack of appreciation of the need. partly by virtue of-deafness. and in some cases because of greatly impaired memory or actual mental confusion." This may mean that. to get a full history of the case: AN unusually lively and con- structive day may be expected as a result of present lunar vibrations. But it is importaiit that before making decisions. you examine all the facts and analyze situations carefully. Enthusiasm is laudable. but be sure to harness it to pro- jects from which you will reap practical and long-term benefits. Don't go overboard on those which can only result in temporary ad- vantages or, worse still, illusory If tomorrow is your birthday. you should find the year ahead marked by progress and endur- ing success where ambitious and worthwhile objectives are concern- ed. This is your year to attack major projects with determination, and vigor - especially those which require creative ability, imagin- ation and originality. it would be well, however. to complete tasks already started before beginning on new enterprises, so that complete concentration may be given to the latter Romance and new friend- ships are especially favored. , A child born on this day will have great determination and a "will to win" based on courage and sound objectives. suit the family. relatives or neigh- bors. As there are now so many old and aging people about us. and while there are so many variations to even common ailments, it-would be well to repeat the common Symptoms present in old people. Among these common symptoms are (1) weakness: (2) tendency to fall: (3) inability to control the urine or feces (wastes from the bowel): (4) giddlness: (5) mental confusion: (6) backache; (7) swell- ing of legs. As each of these seven common symptoms may be due to several causes, it means that the physic- ian must be patient and thorough in his examination of the elderly the physician may have to con- patient. i i 1 Anne Adams Patterns EASTIXI.-PRETTY I Mom!
