The natives of the Cocos islands are already excited about t.he pros- pective Royal visit. Festivities will go on for days. A highlight will be

the dancing, by the natives, of traditional Scottish dances and reels.

Natives Imported The first John Clunies-Ross who settled the islands in 1827 im- ported from Malaya the ancestors of the present natives to work the coconut plantations.

The Clunies - Ross family has remained ever since. In 1886, the islands were leased to George Clunies-Ross and his succesors in perpetuity. Every successive head of the family has become gover- nor-or. more usually, "king."

This morning with the return of Rob, folks turned again to follow the familiar routine of this place. We fancied James' shoulders lift- ed appreciubly so glad was he to be relieved of the burden of its care. There were pleased smiles on the faces of the children, happy to have their last stay returned to these precincts again.

"Yesterday was a. long titre," we overheard Gage confide to him when the Fall lamplit-dawn brought him down to the kitchen.

”That was because you were up so early yesterday to bid me 'Good- bye," Rob offered. ”And I suppose you were later than usual going to bed."

"No" the child shook his head soberly. "It wasn't that, Daddy. It was because when I thought of you, you were so far away."

"Only to a far field of the farm, Rob was today, One on a hillside to which through the rolling farm- lands, its windings sometimes seen,

the farm-lane leads. ' At James reckoning hours labor, equipment and whatnot, was of the smiling opinion that so little had been accomplished at the work "It would be cheaper to buy them." 0 O O

. Nevertheless when our curiosity led us thither later, we found nice heaps of roots tucked away in the underground bins of the new barn. Msngels saved, today brought them to the harvesting of turnips, hurrying a bit as cold weather tends to close in. "I don't suppose there would be a. farmer" at that Fair who hadn't his crop all under cover," James commented half-seriously It din- ner . To welcome home our prodigal the main dish then was chicken-a noble bird of the little folk that found gleanings in near grain-fields and feasted royally on escaped kernels about the scenes of the threshing. Our helper laughed infectiously. "We know there was one," he offered, "but he took care to leave two good men and a. half in his place!" Pansle: and sweet alysaum, the latest blooming flowers of this gar- den blossomed wanly today be- neath mostly cloudy skies . . , And in the evening the milk cows and their following of calves came down from the fields without sinn- mons to be let to the comfort of stables. November stresses shelter- ing roofs and comfortable quarters for the animals and an adequate supply of dry winter-wood for the folks of the place.

With willing assistance we gathered, after school. the harvest of dahlias, Gage trundling them off to the cellar in a smallish wheel-barrow. Only an ordinary collection we have, yet one which gave the Family much enjoyment throughout the summer until the autumn wind and rain-storm despoiled them of much of their beauty.

"It seems only the other day that we planted them," Jamie commented, busily cutting away the stalks and then placing the tubers in a neat row for the con- venience of the pick-up min. "only the other day" we agreed. "But when you come to think of it, there's a whole crop between!" And a day's work between our Family's lamplit rising and this hour of night which now speeds this lolterer to follow the steps of thevothera off to her rest.

OBESITY AND SURGERY

I have written several times

!about the findings of life insur- iance mediczilg examiners who re-

port the dlsadvantages and the dangers of overweight. So sure are the medical examiners that excess weight shortens the life span and is responsible for many illnesses that most companies give free phy- slcal examinations at stated per- iods that they might encourage the overweight to reduce his weight in return for which the amount 'of his premium would be reduced. -

In addition to the findings of physicians, surgeons also find that overweights present a greater risk during operation than do those of normal weight.

In Medical Press, Dr. McN. Love states: It is obvious that a fat-1 laden abdominal wall is a severe handicap to a surgeon who is en- denvoring to palpate an indefinite abdominal swelling, and in the ab- sence of clinical guidance (heavy fat abdominal wall preventing the surgeon's lingers from learning the '.true condition of the abdomen), more reliance must be placed on laboratory and X-ray examinations.

"In addition, fat buttocks inter- fere with examination of the lower end of the large intestine Tana! canal) and examination by the physician's hands of a swelling in the lower abdomen (pelvis) in a female patient is likely to be in- conclusive."

What is the suggestion when the physician finds that excess fat of the abdominal wall is so thick that he cannot feel sure of his diag- nosis?

"In suitable cases, when a delay of a few weeks is of little moment, it is wise to defer operation in the obese (greatly overweight) until a medical colleague has prescribed and supervised a course of weight reduction with satisfactory results."

The above information should be a lesson to all who are overweight or who are becoming overweight. The excess fat on abdomen or else- where can render the diagnosis difficult to obtain and may make operation dangerous where it would be comparatively safe otherwise .

Unfortunately, some operations are emergencies and neither phy- siclan nor surgeon can do their best work for the patient who has become excessively fat and allowed heart and blood vessels to become weak and flabby.

For Tomorrow

The configurations do not favor new ventures or enterprises this day, so stick to routine duties and regular schedules. In business af- fairs try to avoid arguments and keep all discussions in an imper- sonal level so as to avoid discord.

During the afternoon and eve- ning hours, the planetary aspects are favorable for engaging in com- munity enterprises, completing old- standing affairs and benefiting through the friendship of elders. Inspired or cfeati e work, whether vocational or ocational, may bring success at this time.

If tomorrow is your birthday, you are now entering a period in which, if you will merge you? experience. knowledge and assets with those of others you,cun establish a good foundation for the future. Be fair in your dealings, however, and do not insist on more than your share of future gains.

During the early part of 1954, an unexpected change may prove quite fortunate and there is a. strong possibility that your prestige and ipopularlty will increase either as a result of membership in some group or Ihrougli a. new social con- tact. During the late spring some misleading influences may appear, so be on the alert. During that period. curtail expenses to meet income.

When the leaves have all fallen from the trees it is comforting to know that all the tender plants are safely housed for the winter. Geranium; are still blooming on 9. stand in the corner of the veranda where they were placed in early April. Geraniums are very reliable plants and a good collection can be made at small cost. The proper name is Pelargonium as the Geranium is a perennial suitable for the garden with flowers in the pink, white and purple shades. The plants commonly called Geraniums come in many shades and varieties. (1). Show Pelgar- gonium or Pansy-flowered; (2). House Geranium: (P. hortoi-um). also known as Bedding, Horseshoe and Zonal Geraniuma; (3). Ivy- leaved Geranlums; and scented- leaved geraniums, represented by

many species. 0 O 0

The Pansy-flowered are not perpetual bloomers, but the flow- ering ia worth waiting for as they are long-lasting and beautiful. A very large plant covered with dozens of blooms resembling an Azalea delighted this gardener for

This variety was a soft pink and others bloomed with a' cerise blotch and even now there are I. few flowers on these plants. There is a bewildering number of varieties in the Zonal Geraniums, with single. or double flowers; some have handsomely colored foliage. Happy Thought, is in green and cream. with dark r.one-flow- ers scarlet; a dwarf, compact sort with white-edged leaves and many others make a nice contrast in the window garden.

The Ivy-leaved Geraniums are characterized by the trailing habit and glossy leaves. In this garden they are used in the window boxes und now as I write a soft pink variety is lovely in a blue hanging pot and the red variety has grown so tail that many slips" were given to garden visitors in the summer. They seem to need more moisture -than the other varieties of Ger- amums and will grow in some shade. In England they are favored plants to trail over the edges of lurge outdoor vases in summer. There are varieties in other colors in lavender with red and dark stripes that I have not seen.

The scented-leaved Geraniunts or (Pelgargoniums) are a varied group in leaf size and structure, in flowers and in fragrance, and as a rule their flowers are not as showy as in the other groups. They are grown partly for their foliage but chiefly for their fragrance- the Rose Geranium, one of the old- est of house plants, is (or was) used to aduliernte attar-of-roses. More than fifty-varieties are ob- tainable from specialists dealing in them. One variety grows here-the Rose eranlum with small lilac- colored flowers, and there is the lemon-scented, pine-scented. and the nut-meg and apple-scented; some have variegated leaves and another has peppermint IIIEIIIMG with small white flowers. I would like to have a collection of these fragrant plants.
