hospital situation become that british women expecting children have been advised by the health ministry to plan on having their children at home rather than going to n maternity home because all such homes are full and have long waiting lists lengthening davh the lift of the lengthening days is here formerly we noticed and re joiced in it in the early evening- but this year of daylight saving time we seem to welcome the morning light all winter it was a dreary business rising in what seemed the middle of the night hurrying little children off to school in the darkness and groping around to do our housework or whatever it was either by artific ial light or in a dismal half light but the sidewalks are appearing again patches of earth are showing here and there the buds on the trees seem to be aware of the warm sunshine and the distant sound of the birds breaks the silence with which winter seems to seal the coun tryside the eaves respond and the icicles drip merrily and crack with a final chuckle and the winter sunset of red and grey give way to gold and somehow we humans altseem to chorus this last week or so isnt it wonderful not to get up in the dark t yes no matter what march may bring us the sunshine and the length ening days have been very welcome this year i outrides ol cuager farm fanner went to a local weed fair the other day at which the speaker was ir g i christie of the ojc guelpb and the sum and substance of dr cfaristiev advice to that particu lar gathering of fanners was wlo the best you can with what you have and where you are arording to part ner dr christies address was xry good and quite practical there were no remarks of the stacker barret type and while we are on the auhjert i would like to say hear hear to the editorial overalls or oratory- in last weefca acton vamx psxas particu larly that paragraph which aald dis- cussions will never naive the farmer rroblents as conclusively as can the farmer who is on the job solving his own individual problems in a prac tical way and that is precisely what roost farmers are trying to do incidentally no two fanners have identical problems one may need in come for family reasons another more help on account of poor health i the same medicine will not cure every 111 well u would seem that to every question somebody knows the answer even to where the files go in winter a corresiondent tells me that one winter he reslilngled the roof of a barn and the cloud of files tliat came at him each time a patch of old shingles was removed was so dense that he could scarcely see what he was doing and now we know tliat much what can we do about it not very much i am afraid until the wretched things come out of hll-erna- tlon wouldnt you wonder whykuch pests were ever created or dont you wish tliat noah luul left every fly to drown instead of taking a pair of them into the shelter of the arkt by the way heres a thought if two files went in tlu ark i wonder how many came out lait friday tlwtv was a very inter esting piece of news in ihe morning luiter at leau it wau interesting to ui 1mcusc it concerns this district it is linked up with whnt happened two ears ago at which time options were lenmm on n number of farms in the mountain dlwtrlct and were le- liig tested for mineral dcimult the nearest farm to ub is just one conees- uon from here we didnt pay much attention to the story at tlvo time thought perhaps it might ik just an other rumor but apparently there wo more to it than we realized ac cording to this newspaper report prositecttng activities over un area of 3000 acre liave revealed n large iron mass or zone at approximately 2300 feet under the surface this tone was indicated by the proper instru ments to be about 9000 feet in length 2000 feet wide and from 2000 to 3000 feet thick quite exciting lsntlt i was really thrilled when i read the account partne wm little sceptical he said it was probably just another war baby well time will show anyway x have always thought there must be some sort of hidden wealth deep down in the tiovveft of that mountain rock the very formation of the land suggests it apparently first indications of iron ore were discovered by a syndi cate drilling for oil in that district a little over two years ago if any thing comes of this prospecting ven ture we shall probably hear more about it before long if it doesnt i
