While sassafras tea is a thing of the past, dandelion greens are actually cultivated for market. They are much more consistent in textur2 and quality than the ones I used to know. They compete at this season of the year with beet greens and spinach. In . the forsign markets we find many other greens, all of which are succulent. Greens Always Available Of course, today there is not a time of the year when we cannot purchase a variety of greens for cooking and for eating raw in salad form. We do not have to wait for the first leaves of the garden lettuce to be ready. We depend upon Boston lettucs, romaine and iceâ€" berg lettuce throughcoiut the year, perâ€" haps most of all upon the latter, be« cause of the firmness of the heads, which can be shipped so well to farâ€" distant places. Once upon a time we knew this lettuce as Simpson. Its now common name was given it because of the chopped ice in which it is packed for shipment. Dandslion greens and succulent sasâ€" safras roots were the heralds of spring in the small town where I was brought up. On Saturdays the door bell was tikely to ring a number of times and at the door we would find children from the nearby country district offerâ€" ing for sale these products which they had dug themselyves in the woods and felds. Sometimes we would have a mess of the greens, the retults of our own forced labour in to get the lawn ready for spring. Somstimes we would sk~ seartch for sassafras, the “c" our fitst early picnic in the "arby woods. We all loved the tendâ€" sark Of the smaller roots and the ma~e by boiling the tougher roots d combining the resultant liquid with i milk, in spits of the fact that it ‘s supposed to be good for us in the spring.

Two interesting visitors to the camp last week were Rev. Kenneth Prior and Mrs. Prior, of Dondi, Angola, Africa. In a little square portion in the Westâ€" ern part of that continent, the United Church of Canada has four mission stations. At one of these, Dondi, Mr. Prior is agricultural teacher of Currie Institute, a school for boys. These boys are the best from the mission schools, and in the regular half day periods outside classroom are given industrial training under skilled leadership in agriculture, carpentry tailoring and blacksmithing. There is also at Dondi, a school for girls, Means School, where they are caught nursing, care of children, weaving, cooking, homeâ€" making and agriculture. Out from these two schools go a steady stream of teachers and trained leaders. Inciâ€" dently Mr. Prior is the one who is creâ€" dited with having brought about the change from the prevailing condition of eggâ€"less hens, milkâ€"less goats and sheep without wool. ent Brief mention was also made of the three specially trained young men, who, under the Agriculture Extension, made possible by money from the W.M.S., last year visited over three hundred and fifty villages, giving lessons in agriculture in every village. 68th Anniversary of Wedding Observed New Liskeard, May 9â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"E.

That was many years ago, when, as a young man, he had been employed by the late John Ross Robertson, founder of The Evenâ€" ing Telegram, of Toronto, and who at that time held the government printing contract, Mr. Stephenson said. His memory had been aroused on the matâ€" ter, he explained, by reading in his old paper, The Aurora Banner, of an item from the past in which it was stated that parchment deeds o were now very rare in Ontario. Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson lived in Aurora after their wedding, the former at that time being publisher of The Banner.
