Yau know what a praying mantis is, a large very green insect some- what resembling a grasahapper in shape, with bis front legs jointed in an attitude ai prayer. A mantis is aiways ta be en- couraged If found in your gar- den, for he destroys bad insects. This we knew, but that some one had gone into the mantis business was nather startling. Last year we discovered that yau could buy weli-tnained earthworms, you remember, nat the "prane ta wandem" type as found in most people's gar- dens. Naw we find that you cari buy mantis egg cases, each guaranteed to hatch aven 100 mantes, price $1.00 each, six for $5.00, prepaid and witb in- structions. Those instructions couid be very important, we feel. Well, as tbey say In the mountains, or the backwoocls like here, "What won't they think ai next?"

M. O.H. Attends Course on Civil Defence Dr. Charlotte M. Horner, Me- dical Officer of Health, North- umberiand-Durharn Health Un- it, has returned from the Cari- adian Civil Defence College, at Arnprior, Ontario, where she attended the first Physicians Indoctrination Course. This course was attended by doctors from most of the provinces of Canada, xvho represented indus- try', public health and other medical fields. Included in the course was instruction relating ta the new- er aspects and implications of the hydrogen bomb, biologîcali and chemnical warfare. Stress was put on the need for disas- ter planning in the community, especially in relation ta haspi- tais. If a community bas a well organîzed plan to meet any la- cal disaster, then it. could be readily co-ordinated with an over-ali Provincial plan for ci- vil defence. Ontario now bas a civil de- fence co-ordinator, and it is hoped that in future some ac- tion will be taken tri forming civil defence organizations throughout the United Counties. Any ctost would be borne by Federal, Provincial and local authorities. Dr. Homner has spoken since ber retumn to a meeting of thei Northu mberl and -Durham Med - cal Society on hospital disaster, planning, and the problem of civil defence has also been dis- cussed at a staff meeting of the Northumberland - D u r h a m Health Unit.
