about the winter and not only to think about it but to look forward to it too and it isnt because am anxious for cold weather cither but lm ply that it gives me real heartache to see the dead and dying vegetation in the garden and in the winter it will at least bo covered hip honestly am ashamed to have people come to visit here one person said to me why bo ashamed conditions are tho some every where but think they ore not in the country perhaps ybut in the town people have been watering their flowers and lawns all summer and the effect of the drought not so notlcabh with them when they see garden such ours tlicy must think what neglected looking place surely someone could have taken time to water things onco in awhile perluips you will remember in the early days of uie drought said was afraid to use water for tho garden in case wo might need it more urgently later on and of course that is exactly what has liappcncd partner is drawing water again now and you can quite understand when farmer takes about two hours off to draw water every day or two it puts quite crimp in his har vesting activities however suppose wo shall get through anyway our trouble are small compared with those who live inthe forest ore ooe one morntngl wakened and the first thing noticed was the smell of flro llko wood smouldering my first thought was the ham liad the hay ignited jumped out of bed and looked out of uie door the barn apparently was all right and then away to uie north of us saw the blue liosu of smoke and then knew ibtish fire of course and the prevailing wind was plowing the smoke and smell thfei way suppose we must be several hunhred ml led away from uie nearest bush lire and jusl thought if we who are all this distance away can swe and smell the smoke what must it be like for those say fifty miles away far enough away to hope for tafety and yet not far enough to ik certain or it all things considered am quite cure we should be very uwnkful if the scorched gross around us is only the result of intense natural heat and not of fire yes we know we are perfectly wife from forest fires at any rate but yet uie smell of smoke always fives mc rather panicky feeling partner says am foolish to worry my head about someuiing tliat doesnt concern us at nil of course know it is foolish but somehow cant forget uiat dreadful waste of timber uiat goes on day after day especially when canadas crying need toduy is for trees and it more treea and only ood can make tree it is rulhcr dreadful isnt it the desr trucuon by fire mean our young soni nngcr is not healed yet and it is over three weeks since he hurt few days ago uie wound developed proud flesh so now imder doctors orders have uio pleasant job of touching it up with caustic every day llsh to belmprovlngall the time so hope before long it will be healed over properly in the meantime jusl to keep up uio excitement uie young man managed to skid off his bicycle and graced and bruised his shoulder on surfuce six inches long wlui all these atflicuons son finds his biggest punish ment in the fact that he cant go swim ming it is funny too because sometimes am tempted to wonder if he is
