Farmers, gardeners, fruit grow- ers and tree planters will not be very happy about the proposal of the Ontario Government to limit the game bag on cottontails. To the hundreds of thousands of people who come in any of the classes mentioned, rabbits are regarded at a serious pest, about in the same category as field mice. They do enormous damage and if not kept down by continuous hunting they will do still more. Almost every winter literally rail- lions of young trees and shrubs are destroyed by these pests despite con- siderable money and time spent on special measures. Even on the out- skirts of our large cities they do a lot of damage. No exhaustive and expensive sur- vey is necessary to determine the destructiveness of the common wild rabbit. All that the game authori- ties will have to do is to consult their colleagues in those branchei of the government service which are interested in reforestation, fruit growing, agriculture or gardening.

Day after day icy winds battered themselves against our doors and windows, penetrating the house even against storm doors and window protections. What it would have been like without them, dear only knows. It is at such times that I wonder how people in pioneer days ever caine through the win- ters. It isn't much good trying to describe it â€" only experience can inake anyone realize what a stormy day in the country is really like. Even at that memory is short- lived. For instance, one of our neighbours was in town looking after an ailing sister. It was a day when visibility was reduced to 100 feet, and this neighbour, although she knew it was storming, iiad no idea what it was really like until she gi't home at supper time and found her way blocked from the garage to tlie house by btiRe drifts across the lauii. But now the ueather lias chang- ed â€" a warm wind has been blowing all day. Snow is packing and little rivulets are rnmiiiig under and through the snow. The house is draughty but reasonably warm, so we can forget all about the stormy weather until the next big blow. Kx- cept that 1 can't forget it quite so easily â€" not witii a batch of cliil- blains that are just about driving ine crazy I And T haven't got enough courage to try the Spartan cure which some folk advocate â€" to run barefoot through the snow. Every time we get a cold spell I wonder why so many farm houset are built with main door opening directly into the diiiingroom or kit- chen. Of course there is generally a front door opening on to a hall but in the country no one uses the front door anyway. Even so, the hall eventually leads to one of the main rooms. Now why couldn't the hallway lead right through f'om the front door to the back door, with rooms opening out from either side of the ball? That way direct draughts would be eliminated as it would not be necessary to have one room lead into another as they do now. (We have six doors in our diiiingroom!) Imagine rooms with only one door no draughts blow- ing through at all. For conveniece there could be an extra outlet from CROSSWORD PUZZLE AOTtOaS 1. TorKl ^'« t. Listen It. Kxclte 14.

Several outlets have to be consider- ed as fire escapes. Well, there you are â€" there's my dream house. How do you Kke it? Partner says my plan requires too much ground space. Maybe, so, but on a farm we at least have plenty of ground space. Now I think of it, that type of house is the exact opposite to a new bungalow I was in the other day. This house had a small front entry which led to the living-room on one side and the dining-room on the other. They in turn opened on to the kitchen, bedrooms and bath- room. There were archways, but no doors to the living or dining room. It was very nice, but it seems to me there is very little privacy in modern homes. As for instance, a girl I know who took her steady boy friend home to her parents' new bungalow. So that she and her boy might have a little time to themselves the rest of the family went to bed early every nightl Even at that privacy would be dif- ficult if the living-room had one of these large picture windows. Pic- ture windows look very nice, but without blinds I always think of them as on a par with these two- piece bathing suits â€" so revealing that they leave little to the imagin- ation. Let's see, 1 had a quilting story to tell you, left over from last week, didn't I? Well, you see it was a sort of winter-week special. I set up the quilt all right and two neighbours were coining in to help me, but the weatherman decreed otherwise. So there was I with a New and Useful Too Music on Tape First commercial tape recordings for home use claimed by firm of- fering eight reels of popular, semi- classical music, by mail order; each reel plays one hour, includes 16 to 20 numbers; used on home model recorder running at 7'A in. sec, dual track. * * * New Heating Mode Radiant heat by electric panels is to ''>: introduced in Canada.

Questions are multiple-choice whole quilt all to myself. However, quite often Partner would say â€" "If you want to get on with your quilt, go ahead â€" I'll do the dishes." So you see why I refer to my better- half as "Partner." And I did get my quilt finished. It was very thick so the stitches were none too small, but the quilting was fairly close so I don't think I did too bad to get it out of the frames by the end of the fourth day. Well, I have just come up from the barn. Today Bob was away at chore time for the first time since we got the milking machine so Partner had the fun of trying it out for ourselves. We got along fine but Partner says it takes a strong man to handle the thing because everything about it is sp heavy. Perhaps the day will come when someone will put a milker on the market made of light weight metal that anyone can handle â€" like the feather-weight chairt that seem so strong and durable. answer, player drops metal ball la one of four numbered holes repra- senting answer he believes right. * * * Fountain Pen Stapler Pocket stapler for saiesnian, bill collectors .insurance men, stndentt, office and home use, looks lUca fountain pen with chrome cap ovar plastic barrel; fits in pocket; 5 in. long, weighs 1J4 o/.., fastens U sheets of paper, says distributor.

W. Falrweather, vice president of research and development of the Canadian National Railways. The Alberta district. Mi. Fntr- weather says, la today one of the most active areas of oil exploration in the western hemisphere, with Edmonton the "oil capital" of north- western North America. A concise, chronological report on the Canadian oil development, complete with maps and charts has Just been issued by the Canadian National Railways. In "The Geog- raphy of Oil and Oas In Western Canada," Mr. Fnlrweather traces the development from the first oil discovery in the Turner Valley In 1914 up to the present unprece- dented activities. Mr. Palrweather fl.xes the be- ginning ot the present Canadian oil "boom", to the discovery of light oil near Leduc, 18 miles south of Bdnionton, In 1947. In less than a year, developments proved the presence ot a major oil llehl ex- tending from Ledtio across (ho North Saskatehewan River to the Woodbend district. Up to the end of 1949. drilling In thia Held alone has Indicated a reaerra ot i50 Btlllloa barrels of oil and ;'iOO billion cubic feet of natural gas. Since the Leduc discovery, the railway economist declares, oU ot a sfmllar quality has been found "almost all around Edmonton"; at Joseph Lake, Whitenuid, Golden Spike, Barrhead, Bon Accord and Redwater. The Oolden Spike dis- covery well is remarkable for a thickness ot oil-beuilng formation that exceeds 600 feet. The Red- water field, with an Indicated re- serve of 500 million barrels. Is the largest oil pool yet discovered in Canada. Piucher Creek, south ot Calgary, has the deepest successful w^l ever drilled In Canada. It was re- cently brought into production at 12,600 feet with a record potential ot 83 million cubic feet of wet gas per day. The Lloydnilnster field, sitnate^l astride the Alberta-Sasknicliewau boundary, which came Into produc- tion In 1943. still constitutes the largest known reserves of heavy oil In Canada. Exploration Is now spreadtu.i; into the sedimentary areas of Brit- ish Columbia, Saskatchewan, Man! toba, and northern .Mberta, Mr. Falrweather says. Oil In quantity was recently discovered by Imperial Oil, Ltd. at NormaiuUllle. 30 miles south of I'eaco River and 210 miles aorth ot Edmonton. The oil developments of the past three years have saturated the oU market of western Canada and out- lets must now be found tarthw alleld.
