Gwendoline D Clarke Another week gone by and no rain. and so mild. This time last year we were pretty well snowed' {0 and not liking it one bit--but t snow. Of course if one doesn't have to worry about water it is wonderful - weather and last Saturday was a perfect day for the Santa Claus 'parade in Tor- onto. That -is something I--have always wanted to see and never have--until this year when I saw it 'on television. Television? Oh no, not our own set. I just hap- pened to visit one of the stores down town at the right moment, It was remarkably clear -- no flickering at all." In fact I was almost persuaded that television might be all right after all. But I wasn't enthused to the point of wanting us to. spend -$400 on a set--although I am sure Partner would enjoy watching the hockey: matches. : We have lols of company again now and sometimes 1 feel as if 1 am talking to myself as the name of one of our visitors is "Gwen." party is a farmer-so he got him- self a job down at the barn with a tractor and spreader. At his own request, of course. Some- times I wonder why people ever come to see us at all for they are never-treated as guests. And, as a means of getting out of work this column provides me with a wonderful alibi. For instance we have an extra . couple staying. "here until tomorrow so 1 quite _calinly announced that I had my column to write and would they call me when supper was ready | They did. . We have been having quite a "time with cars just lately. The visiting car developed starter trouble. While it was in the garage I wanted to-go down town with our car but the battery was- -_as flat as a deflated balloon, "Oh, dear, there goes another $30," I thought. (batteries for English cars are déarer than others). But I was wrong. It was just.a matter of corroded connections. I was so relieved I felt then as if I had been given $30 so I was really much happier than I had been before. This afternoon werwere driving through a rather hilly part of the county and it was heartbreaking 'to notice how. terribly dry the. "fields looked. But one particular field we passed was more heart- breaking than all the rest. The field was just one big hill. It had been ploughed, and the plough- ing was a straight up and down job. If ever a field called for contour ploughing that one. did. Sometime we are bound to get some heavy rains and when they come the rain will run down that hill like water down a rainspout. By contrast, mer I noticed contour ploughing in a field that was perfectly flat. "| " Now what was the reason for that? I have often wondered. There is plenty of arguing going on around here these days. Our visitor is a Guernsey man; Partner favours grade Ayreshires -~the other man pure-bteds. So, various arguments are back and forth liké shuttlecocks, neither man giving - in to -the other---as so often happens when two stubborn Englishmen get to- géther.

The would-be wood - splitter waited until Partner had gone to milk and then he took up 'the Zl challenge. He worked for over 'an: hour on that one cut, and all the time it was a tussle between the toughness of the knotted oak and the will and strength of the man. The man won out.

'Deery was. 'dejected and downcast. His opponent needed but one point to win the " title and the cash prize. Fox teed up for the winning shot. He held his cue poised against the ball as a fly' buzzed through the room and"-lit on the billiard ball. Fox shooed it away, It circled and again made a six- point landing on thé ball.
