GIFT OF MAPLE SEED
Having traced a New Zealand relative by advertisement, a resident of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada, has shown appreciation in unusual fashion. By recent mail there arrived from Owen Sound a package containing a five-shilling donation to the New Zealand Red Cross, a small Canadian flag and a packet of' maple seeds, together with a photograph illustrating the method of extracting the sap from the grown trees and rendering it into maple syrup. "However," writes the sender in a covering letter, "they may not yield sap, as the trees need snow and frost in March to make the sap rise."
