She stressed the neces. sity of creating a better commun. ity by having a happier more wholo- some social life and a more scien. tific study of agriculture. It we are to continue the main objects of Institute work, we must adopt 'the comprehensive program' --eoducational, social and practical lines of activity, she said.

Plums and prunes showed an increase of 11 per cent, the report 'stated. The apple crop was estimated at 626,000 barrels, compared to 1,010,- 600 last year. Heavy night frosts in most parts of the province during the period Oct. 15-21 cavsed considerable dam- &go to the fruit and vegetable crops remaining ~ unharvested. Grapes wore seriously damaged for fresh fruit market purposes but it was considered too early to estimate {rost damage to apples. In the cast- ern part of the province 20 to 25 per cent of the apple crop was on the trees during the freeze. TOMATOES BELOW AVERAGE Yield and quality was greatly be Jow average, although the yield in Eastern Ontario was considerably higher than was expected a month ago, There processors had 70 to 75 per cent of average pack. The potato crop Was spotty, ranging from very poor to good jn various areas, generally heavy losses from rot belng experienced. Many growers, especially of late varieties, reported only 25 to 50 per cent of average yield. Currach Is Boat Of Ancient Type Made of Tarred Canvas Over Light Basket-Work Frame, it is Used For Transportation By Natives of Eire's West Coast A currach is a boat, but it is also one of the most primitive forms of craft in Europe. Used by the natives of the Aran Islands in (Galway Bay, Ireland, theyare noth- ing more than light basketwork frames covered over with" tarred canvas. Nevertheless, they arb able | to sail In very rough weather with charge, It doesn't matter very much ft a currach {s smashed by the sea because it can easily be repaired, this work often being done by the women and children, WELSH CORACLE 18 RELATED 'he Islander lands his boat by leaping out as he nears the shore and ralsing It out of reach of the waves. This is made possible by {lie extreme lightness of the mod: orn currach, "When safely ashore, the craft fs turned over, carried 1p the beach; and secured by stones to prevent it from being 'blown "WAY. Another primitive, and very light craft, 1s the Welsh coracle, which, today, is used in almost the same form as it was when Julius Caesar "fnvaded Britain.

It obligated them to fight side by side against anyone -- except Russia -- who d isturbed the peace 'of the Balkans: So far it had affected-none of Turkey's other relations; she still was allied with Russia and even officially friendly with Germany. This "splendid isolation" frcm the quarrels of the world was expected to be rudely shdttered any day as Italy penetrated Greece and Hitler hinted of giving the signal for his troops to march through Bulgaria toward Censtantinople (Istanbul).

As the old farmer stood at his garden gate 4 travelling salesman in radios pulled up his car. "Good-morning, sir!" he ba- gan brightly. "Can I interest you in a--" : "Eh?" said the farmer, "I can't 'ear yer." "Are you interested in radio?" asked the salesman, louder, "Speak - up, man!" ; "Would you like to inspect our new. radio model?" screamed the salesman, . "No. thank ye" said the old man; "we got.a 'armonyum," Four miles farther on he came | to a cottage, and knocked at the door. i '0 "Pardon me, madam," he be-. gan.

I'm a stranger in this district." Two laborers were working on a very tall block of apartment buildings. Suddenly the man at the top of the ladder called to his mate at the bottom: "I say, Jim, come up here a minute and listen." His mate slowly climbed the ladder and at last, quite out of breath, reached the top. "I can't hear anything," he said after listening- intently for a while. . "No," said the other "Ain't it quiet!" Junior: "Dad, what's the plural of 'whim'?" Dad: "Women." A young woman whose beauty is equal to her bluntness in con- versation was visiting a house where other guests were assem- bled, among them the eldest son - of a wealthy manufacturer. The i talk turned on matrimonial squabbles. "I hold that the' thing for the husband to do is to begin as he intends to go on. Suppose the question was one of smoking, I. would at once show my intentions by lighting- a cigar, thus settling the question for ever." "And I," said the young wo- man, "would at once knock it out of your. mouth." "Do you know," rejoined the young man, thoughtfully, "I don't think you would be there." "Bragson talks a great deal about his family tree." "Yes, a family tree is much like other trees; the smallest twigs do the most rustling." ~ Our Curious Tongue When "the English tongue we speak Why is break not rhymed with freak?

PP Ae a Eo ae an aa HEALTH TOPICS sessesescesreIOLe Babies Need Open Air And Sunshine Sunshine 1s necessary for the normal growth of all infants, par- ticularly for tho prevention of rick- ets. The infants should be kept in the open air and sunshine when- ever possible. In the winter time he should be placed outside in the sunshine each day between "the hours of 11 a,m. and 1 p.m. It is possible to place so that his eyes will be kept away from the direct rays of the sun. Sun baths should be given daily whenever possible. As the sun's rays are not effective through ordinary window glass, the infant may, in cool weather, be placed in front of a window which is open or in which a wooden frame covered with cellophane has been {nserted, On mild days he may be taken out of doors. The clothing should be gradually removed, ex- posing the hands and feet to the sun the first day for 16 minutes, then arms and legs the second day, - and proceeding each day in thls manner until the child's whole body is exposed to the sun's rays.

Materials For Minor Repairs Have Necessary Items Ready at Hand to Aid Work on Home ' Minor defects in 'a hquse fre- quently grow into major repair items for one of two reasons-- neglect, or lack of the right ma- terials readily available to make the repairs. ¢ The. simplest way to cure these minor defects, and avoid a large bill for repairs, is to have a vari- ety of materials frequently re- quired. These are suggested: (1) Assortment of brass screws, steel screws, small bolts and nuts and nails, (2) Can of linseed oil, tur- pentine, white lead, paint of vari- ous colors, varnish, shellac and an assortment of brushes, as well as a can of paint and varnish re- mover, (3) A supply of crack-filling materials and patching cements; elastic roofing cement, bag of Portland cement and sand to go with it; plaster of Paris, glue and such tool as putty knife, trowel and wire brushes. (4) A variety of bits of wood to match parts of the house, such as moldings, floor boards, trim and similar pieces. (5) A few bricks, tiles, roof- ing paper or shingles. ITCH iz C. N. R.
