There's only One thing to watch — don't flip the roller off the wall with 'too much abandon, It will spin in the air and throw a fine spray. of paint. The new odorless paint is available in three sheens -- flat, semi-gloss and gloss, so walls can be done in Bat or semi' gloss and the woodwork in matching glossy finish, You'll need, a brush for the- woodwork, of course, and also for edges and corners which cannot be reached with the roller. Another paint which makes winter-time decorating a plea-- sure is latex-base paint. A great advantage of this type is that it dries in minutes and the drapes can go, up again half an hour after the job is finished. It goes on so easily, with so little muss, that you can take your time and do, a wall a day, moving the furniture back in place immediately. It has no objectionable "painty' odor, Don't wait until spring to get out the paint pots.

The dining room can be used for the family dinner the same day it has had its face-lifting. The bedrooms needn't be evacuated while paint odors dissipate. All the ventilation necessary is enough air to let the paint dry quickly. The housewife with st 4yen to paint now has a tool which lets her compete with the experts, a :paint, roller which works like magic in the most inexperi- enced hand. It comes in a set together with a flat-bottomed pan propped up at one end.. The approved technique calls for pouring enough paint into the pan to cover not more than the lower two-thirds, R011 the FISH• CAUGHT, SWAM 5,000 MILES, CAUGHT AGAIN Just a year ago an official of the California Fish and Game Commission placed an identifk- ing tag on a- fish, an albacore, which he had caught..

AlWays Dependable. • as that cat when it first came in off the road, Dogs or puppies, we are not bothered with at all, betause Honey has such a 'jeal- ous disposition, she chases every dog away that comes any- where near the place. Of course we have visiting cats — cats 'that come and go — but visiting cats are different from strays. They know where they belong, they don't expect to be fed or petted, and eventually they go back home. Mothers, will you please think twice before you consent to. let John or Mary have a cute little puppy or kitten of their own? Nothing could be more desirable for your wee son or daughter — children , should have pets — but a pet needs food, training and kindness. It will look to you for protection. If you are not prepared to give it the care it requires, then don't adopt a pet -in the first place. If, in all good faith, you do allow Johnny or Mary to have a kitten or a pup, and then unforseen circumstances arise which makes it impossible for you to keep it, do remember the Humane Society or your local 'vet' is ready'to help you in just such an emergency. We,- as hu- mans, were created higher than the animals. Don't let us betray that trust by dropping helpless little creatures off on the road, leaving them to an uncertain fate, ' And now ... oh, for goodness' sake!

"Dear Anne Hirst: I have been engaged to a man I dearly love for three months now, and we get along, wonderfully, He has told me about other girls he dated, and why he didn't want to marry any one of them. I've had a lot of dates, of course, and I'm wondering whether I should confide in him, too. "Nothing, very important ever happened to me, but I don't want him to think I am conceal- ing anything.

Thank you, Mr's. F. . ., for your nice letter. After reading of your experience with 60 cy- cle conversion .1 feel that our little set-to was as nothing in comparison. Imagine your being left out altogether. That is real- ly one for the book! However, I suppose with such as tremen- dous undertaking we must ex- pect mistakes and faulty work- manship occasionally. That, I presume, we must overlook. What I do object to is the prac- tise of the Hydro Commission of sending these men out on a conversion late at night. A wo- man alone in an out-of-the-way farm house might be frightened to death to have7 ithneone" come rapping at the door. How is she to know it is only one of the. Hydro men? She cannot know who it is unless she opens the dpor — and that she may be afraid to do. If the superinten- dent in charge of the job in- tends sending men late at night then the occupants of the house should be notified in advance. This same correspondent de- plores the fact that so many peo- ple think dropping a dog or cat off on the highway is a good way of getting rid of it. She has reason to object, as one of each has come to her home this win- ter, She wishes I would say something about it. Believe me, Mrs. P. . . I could say plenty. To me that is a callous and des- picable trick. And yet, strange- ly enough, I don't Seleive these pet-droppers have any intention of being unkind, or would abuse an animal in their own home. They just think by' this method the little creature will find a new home, knowing full well that few country people can re- sist giving shelter -to the lost and friendIeSs. . Some of these abandoned pets are the result of parents having given in when -Children have begged for a cat or a dog of their own. Afterward mother finds it isn't such a good idea alter all. She may not know enough about cats to house- train° a 'kitten properly. In the event of " a puppy she finds neighbours object to having their floWer beds ruined by a friSky. little dog. So'slie appeals to father, unbeknown to the children — to destroy the poor little creature, But father is too chicken-hearted to give it a merciful death, and he. hasn't the' sense to take it to the Hu- mane Society. Instead, some Sunday while the children are at Sunday School, he goes for .a drive in the country; stops the car near a farmhouse or a daub- try home, drops the unwanted cat or puppy oil the side of the road and drives off with never a backward glance. Quite a manly fellow, isn't he?
