Two more of the Island’s needy children will experience greater comfort and security in the next six months, thanks» to the generosity of the Charlotte- town branch of the Canadian Legion. Yesterday the president of the branch, Spurgeon W. Leard, and the secretary, Leo Doyle, called on the two local
welfare agencies and presented each with a cheque for $120 a sum deemed sufficient to cover the most of maintaining one child for a period of six months. In addition‘ to “adopting” the two children. the Charlottetown branch of the Lcg10I1 dimated $50 to each agency. In the photo above are (left to right): Sister

NEW CLUB YEAR.
The year 1957 was "a year of progress and achievement for Prince Edward Island 4-H club work. Most clubs held several good meetings, members parti- cipated in all club activities and they finished their year with a successful achievement day. V
Many of the clubs which were active in 1957 are already or- ganized for this year. Remem- ber that the club year for agric- ultural clubs is the calendar year and the earlier in the year a club is organized or re-organized the better are its chances for a successful year.
Some rule changes have been made regarding 4-H cal-f clubs for 1958 but these are mostly of a minor nature. Beef clubs must now be either steer or heifer clubs and not a mixture. Also the rules which are m-ade must be adhered to by organiz- ed clubs. One of these rules has to do with the number of en- tries by clubs 5‘ achievement days. Last year several clubs did not conform to therspecified number of entries (5) per class. This is still the rule and we hope that all clubs will be able to show five or more entries ‘in each class at their 1958 achieve- ment day. These new rules are still in the printers hands but will be distributed to the clubs when available. .
4-H clubs are organized under the direction of the Department of Agriculture with the assist- ance of local Club Leaders in the Carrying on of the cI=ubs. Ten members between the ages of ten and twenty years are nec. essary to form a club. The mem.

The Department of Agricult- ure in co-operation wi-th_the Vo- cational School is planning on holding a four-week course in farm mechanics in March, pro- viding a sufficient number of ap- plica-tions are received -to war- rant holding the course.
The aim of this course is to give farm men and boys prac-
tical instruction in farm mach-
inery and engineering. Most farms of today are equiped with costly machinery so in order to get the most for his money, the farmer must know how to keep this machinery in good working order. The course also gives some instruction in Farm Drain,- age, Farm Building Design, Con- struction and Repair, Simple Re- pairs to farm power machinery, etc.
Financial assistance for board is given -to students who satis- factorily complete the course. It is hoped that this assistance will be $9 per week and is payable only to those who live away from «home while receiving instruction.
We of the Department of Ag- riculture would appre \’:ate it very much if you would pass the above information on -to anyone whom you‘ think would be inter- ested a.nd who is over the age of sixteen. . '
Application or the request for more information may be sent to either the P.E.I. Department of Agriculture, Charlottetown, or the Vocational School, Charlotte- town. If interested, it is sugges- ted that application be made early as there is only room for about 20 students.
HEALTH NOTES
The poorest time to purchase a cow is when she is springing or fresh. Normal swelling of the udder at that time makes it al- most impossible to detect old, chronic mastitis lesions that may be present.
A shortage of copper in the ration will cause a marked de- crease in a sheep's wool pro- duction.
Dogs suffering from diabetes may now receive regular insulin injections enabling them to live in comfort and reasonable well- being.
The use of barium sulfate, giv- en to dogs under anesthesia by means of a stomach pump, is helpful to veterinarians in mak- ing more accurate X-ray diag- nosis of problems in the dog’s digestive tract.
Dogs and cats would be 50 per cent more healthy if they are kept free of parasites.
Becauseof the added require- -ments for growth, puppies re- quire more calories per unit of weight than do mature dogs.
The Canadian Veterinary Me- dical Association advises live- stockmen that calling a veter- inarian early is more satisfact- ory for all concerned when ani- mals or poultry are sick.
It will take fewer drugs in many cases, thus reducing the expenses; the drugs can work better as there is less tissue damage; and the net result is quicker recovery from the dis- ease.
OIL RICH CROP
A new specialty crop. safflow- er, was commercially grown for the first time this year in south- ern Alberta. Approximately 15, 000 acres were grown in the Medicine Hat-l<‘oremost area. un- der contract with two U n ited States firms. Yields ranged up to 1,000 pounds per acre. Con- tract price was Zté cents per pound.
Safflower produces a rich on hearing seed, with an oil con. tent of 30 to 36 percent in the better varieties. The oil is suit- ed for both industrial and ed- ible use. In paint manufacturing

INTERPRETING THE NEWS
By JOSEPH MacSWEEN
Canadian Press Staff Writer
President Eisenhower's letter to Premier Bulganin was an ex- ample of how to say, in 4,000 words, that “Barkis is willing.”
It now seems fairly certain that the thermonuclear titans are edg- ing througli a tangled jungle of words toward the summit confer- ence that Russia proposed.
Although th e U.S. leader's stand remained essentially un- changed in basic matters, the tone of his letter clearly indicated that he anticipates a meeting will eventually take place.
Obviously, it will not" occur within three months as suggested by Bulganin. But is is doubtful whether even the Russian seri- ously believed that ‘the summit could be reached in such a brief period.
THINKING CHANGED
It is likely that the thinking of Eisenhower. and State Secretary John Foster Dulles has been de- cisively influenced by Britain and

France, and by the world-wide clamor of the Sputnik age.
Prime Minister Macmillan and Premier F elix Gaillard had shown more enthusiasm for the summit possibilities than the American leaders, and Macmil- lan went so far as to propose a non - aggression agreement with the Communists.
As expected. Eisenhower is standing fast by his demand for lower-level meetings and agree- ments before venturing to organ- ize a get.-together of chiefs of gov- ernment. But he has shown some willingness to bargain.
DULLES YIELDS
One important concession was to drop the American insistence on th e “interdependence" of Western disarmament proposals. This opens the way for point-by- point negotiation on specific is- sues, a procedure that may at- tract the Russians.
Surprisingly enough, the chief author of the American letter was Dulles, whose position hitherto has been adamant. The earlier Dulles demands that Russia dem- onstrate good faith before a sum- mit meeting have been watered down considerably.
But Western leaders are all in agreement that a summit meet- ing without reasonable guaran- tees of sincerity would hold great dangers of disillusionment and bitterness among the peoples of the world.
This problem—and others-—was
