We decided, to begin with, to employ no labor in the house or outside except on special occasions, and as I had heard that a servant was difficult to get I thought I world try to carry on without help, though I found it was always possible to get a 'girl' The 'girl' is usually French-Canadian, talks very little English, receives not less than $20, the equivalent to £4, a menth, or it employed by the day from $1.26, and will do any and every kind of job.

My vision of a restful day, getting through arrears of darning, letter- ing, soon vanished.

One soon gets accustomed to doing everything oneself, though certain things such as washing ean be done 'out,' but it is advisable to inquire about the water supply before entrust- ing-any light-colored garments to the hands of a washerwoman." The secret of success, according to this farmer's wife, is working by the clock, setting aside definite times for each job, and beginning and ending at the met time.. One soon learns 'how long various jobs take, and we read: "If by any chance the work is finish- ed five minutes beforo scheduled time it gives one the feeling of leisure, whereas if there is a great deal to do and one sets oneself no time limit one is always chasing and rushing round. I don't work so very hard either. I never start before 7 am, and make a rule to knack off all housework and domestic work at 8 o'clock, leaving all tea and supper washing-up to be done the following morning ,supper usually having been prepared earlier in the day. I always try to put in half an hour resting and reading from 3 to 3.30, and then I go out, very often driving into town with the children to shop or to see friends, or possibly going ot a neigh- boring farm with a message from my husband. "I do not think it will come amiss to say, for the benefit of mothers go- ing out with small famliies, that it is a marvélously healthy country for children.

On February 6 a second trip was made with, a capacity load, leaving McMurray at 8.15 a.m. proceeding to Resolution and returning to McMurray at 4.10 pm. First-class mail fyom Resolution, Fitzgerald and Fort Salth was brought out on the return trip. All the accumulated mail at MeMur- ray was moved, and the success at- ~ tending these operations induced the Postms '>r General to. authorize another flight from McMurray to take accumulated mail from intermediate points to posts farther north--Wrig- ley, Norman, and Good Hope--a total distance of 1,293 miles. This was safely carried out during the first week in March. Similar cervices in Northern Canada were those being carried on between Whitehorse, Mayo and Dawson fim Yukon Territory. Up to January 18, nine round-trips had been made this winter, and the speed with which the services have been perfumed is again in striking contrast to that of the tractor and horse-drawn equipment used until recently. Striking evidence of the apprecia- tion of these outlying places fs afforded by a letter of thanks sent to the Postmaster General by the white residents of Resolution, NW.T,, ia which they point out that the alr mafl service has given them more mail In two trips than they had received dur ing the last four winters by ordinary means. t London by the distinguished British biologist, Professor J.. 8.
