A little later, Betty reappeared with the empty basket and went down the path, Leslie looked at her watch. Ten minutes had passed since Philip's departure. When she saw Betty again com- ing up from the dock, her heart began to beat faster. Why was Philip so slow? For a little while longer, she forced herself to sit there quietly but, finally, she de- cided she had to go and find out what was keeping him, Rising, she went into the house. She had reached the cellar door, when she realized that she might need a light. She tiptoed back down the corridor, through the dingng room, and into the pantry. The door into the kitchen was ajar, and she caught a glimpse of Miss Dill moving about. Quickly, she reached up to a shelf, took a candle and a box of matches, and put them into the pocket of her skirt. She turned to go, then stopped short, Miss Dill was standing in the kitchen doorway. "What are you doing in here, Miss Pritchard?" "J--I didn't have enough lunch," Leslie stammered, "and I came to see if I could find some--some crackers or something." The housekeeper's eyes fixed on her pocket. "Candles don't make good eating." Leslie reddened, then decided to t up a bold front, "Is there any rm in my taking a candle if I hnt it?

In dry weather he will, if at all possible, soak the gardens and lawns once a week, Where no hose is available he will have things like lettuce, tomatos and beans close to the house or pump so that ey. can be watered with the mini- mum 'of inconvenience. He also knows that weeds are moisture- robbers ahd_these he will keep re- moved so that the vegetables want- ed get all the moisture that nature provides. A weekly cultivation equals a shower because it tends to conserve moisture and a small dose of commercial fertilizer is equival- ent to another. Summer Hints Peas and beans will continue bearing longer if pods are removed regularly and prcenptly as soon as ready for the table. It ig well to keep out of the bean patch when the plants are damp as stirring them: up at this time is liable to spread rot. Sweet Peas should be picked reg- ularly to encourage continuous bloom. Consult a good seed catalogue or government bulletin on perennial flowers, shrubs, etc. This will tell when is the best time to move or prune. Certain perennials such as peonies and iris, for instance, are pest moved in' September, others should not be shifted until August, and some in late fall or early spring. As a general rule those shrubs that bloom early should not be pruned until after the blossom- ing is over. The late bloomers are trimmed in early spring. Nearly all perennials, and espec- fally iris, delphiniums and other kinds that tend to spread out and die in the centre, benefit from divi- sion and moving about every three or four-years, A sharp spade is necessary for both jobs and care should be exercised to'make sure that these are planted no more deeply than before. Iris, for in- stance, are liable to rot if set in the soil too deeply and peonies may cease blooming if given the same treatment. Tender Vegetables The real secret of tender, erisp vegetables is, quick, unchecked Beets, carrots, beans, cel- and similar things without nginess or tough cores ocome irOm gardens where growth has been hurried along, unchecked by row 0 At The Ontario- Quebec Division-C. W. N. A Convention w Zealand Extends Socialization Plan ALINGTON, NZ, July 2-- (CP)--<The latest step in the New Zealand, Labor government's social- ization program is the introduction of consumers' co-operative societies te control all shops and other 'busi- ness in the huge state housing set~ tlements being built throughout the country. The proposal is that there should be communal ownership and con- trol of all groceries, bakeries, butch- ers, hotels, theatres, restaurants, boarding houses, garages, service stations, coal, wood and milk sup- plies, and any other consumer ser- vices required. Government officers have been canvassing state house tenants in the new suburbs for support for the plan. Tt is proposed to use state- built buildings which would be rented to the societies. Any profits woul be disbursed mn .consumen' dividends and rebates, One society is already functione ing at Naenae, near Wellington, Ne room for private enlerpiise remains in this surburb. All buildings are state-owned and are made available only to the society. London--(CP)--A woman drivez staggered out of her wrecked car to see what had caused the collision.

By keeping the soil well cultivated quick growth can be deviopd almost r- gardless of dry weather, Experi- enced gardeners thin those vegeta- bles which need spacing for proper, even and speedy development. They harvest them when they are the right size for eating and before they start to harden and mature. They keep a fresh supply coming on all through the season by making plantings ten days to two weeks apart right up to the 1st of July.
