The farm work has to go on, Fortunately, to the majority of folks holidaying in the country, most farm work is a no- velty and so they enjoy being around and getting first-hand {in- formation on how the work is done -- or they don't -- it depends on thelr personality! Our neice Betty, for instance, had never seen a cream separator work; her sls- ter Joy, who is also staying with us, was quite interested In watch- ing the manure spreader in action! ° . ° Trying to combine work and pleasure is another problem. Not 80 much for the younger genera- tion -- thelr supply of energy seems inexhaustible ----- but for us older folk who, although still quite capable of enjoying good en- tertainment, yet find it somewhat exhausting if we have a hard day's work behind us and another hard day's work ahead of us. But wo otry It just the same. We take in the odd show or garden party; wo como home and enjoy a midnight snack; we eventually get to our beds, but in an hour or two we are out of them again and on with the work -- while our visitors, bless their hearts, sleep blissfully on. We don't begrudge them their sleep -- far from it -- this Is their holiday, let them enjoy it, We only envy them their opportunity 'of arising each morning, refreshed and invigorated, ready again to go places and see things, although by comparison we are so afraid they will tind us dull and lifeless, apparently thinking only of the B y Gwendoline P.

It was a grand show and we en- 'Joyed every minute of our outing -- even though we did have a flat tire on the road, But I thought Betty was disappointed because she had not seen "Son of Lassie". So the next day I took the two girls to a neighbouring town and there we saw "Son of Lassie", We followed Laddie right through his puppy days to hls adventures in Norway and returned with him to hls native moors and safety. "Val- ley of Deeiston" 1s a wonderful pleture but we all felt that we shall rémember Laddie and Lassie long after the other show is for- gotten. There 1s an undefinable bond between a man and his dog that tugs at the heartstrings, We felt that, even in the show, and we thought we just couldn't stand it If anything dreadful should hap- pen to faithful, trusting Laddie. What a story to awaken children's sympathies. The children In that audienco laughed and cried by turns and I am sure they all went home wishing that cach had a dog like Laddie. The pity of it 1s too many children grow up lacking the companionship of a dog. In towns that 1s often unavoidable but dogs, children and wide open spaces surely belong together, ° * ° : Right here I might as well mako a confession.
