comment “It's very fatisying

Heard of an old-timer living away
outin the country who made one of
his rare trips to town to see a doctor.
It seems that he had cut his hand
last fall and was worried because it
never bled. He figtired he had no
blood, and wanted the doctor to give
him a transfusion.

‘The doctor pricked his finger, as-
sured him he had lots of blood, but
the old gentleman left unconvinced.

Signs of the modern age: Friends
up from Vancouver told us of a
neighbor who was cornered by his
power lawn mower aiter it got away
from him. He was cut severely on
the legs before he was rescued by
his wife. The attending doctor said
he was about the sixth case he had
treated for a similar accident. Ofily
this man was lucky . . . some of the
others were amputees! I find it hard
to believe.

Although the quality was excep-

extremely favourable comments from

down the quantity of blooms en-

make this a bigger and better show
