between one move and the
next? For instance, if a farmer
sold his stock and implements
in the fall but, did not give up
possession of his property until
the' "spring he would get the
necessary rest and not have to
make snap decisions at a time
when he 'was physically and
mentally too tired to cope with
his problems. But in most cases -
we find farm work goes on until
an auction sale brings it to a
close. One day the farmer has,
hie usual number of cattle, the
next day he has nothing. No
young stuff to feed, no cows to
milk—and probably by the next
week he has moved off the'
farm. The change is too drastid.
It takes a strong personality to
absorb such a shock—especially
after preparing for an auction
sale, which is more of a nervous
strain than a year's work.
At the close of World War I,, it
seems safe to say, the typical
American family farm was run
literally by horse (or mule)

it' depicts among other equip-
ment; arc and, acetylene, welders,
power-driven lathe« grinder, saw,
and drill press„ an air compres-
sor, a heavy duty hoist, and a
shop library.
Maud Muller on a summer's
day, Anno Domini 1955, might
rake "the meadow sweet ‘with
hay," ' And beneath "her torn
hat" might well' glow the same
"wealth of simple beauty and
rustic health" as in Whittier's
time, But the Judge wouldn't
find 'her with a peg-toothed rake
in her hands. She'd be riding a
machine that cuts the hay,
gathers •it, presses it into bales,
and deposits them in neat rows
for the eight-cylinder, 100 horse-
power farm truck to.pick up for
market. And the farm shop
would keep everything running.

can't find their =tidy. They, say
that men pile the goods im-
properly, and spoil a lot of stuff.
The men say the women congre-
gate with their wagons and stall
teeffic. The women say the clerks
punch out the cost too fast so
they don't know if they're being
charged the' correct rates, They
also complain that men seem to
have extraelarge orders, and it's
murder to get in the checkout
line ,behind the male shopper.
The experts gave out three-
pronged advice:
1. Make out a list and put the
meat purchases- down first, the
others in the order they will be
met.
2. At the counter, place canned
goods near the clerk, then the
bulky ones, tlien the perish-
ables. That's the Way 'they go
into the bags
3. Milk ,cartons and cellophane
packages should be stood on end.
Finally, if .you don't like Stand-
ing in line, say the' experts, do
your shopping in the early
morning before School starts.

between fatigue and rest. Pre-
vious worry and overwork
while on the farm resulted in
a condition to which the Only
solution seemed to be to quit
farming. At first the change
seemed quite satisfactory. Then
as mind and body became rest-
ed reaction followed, Less work
meant more time to think. Pre-
sently strange surroundings and
a new way of life began to pall.
Eventually there came a rest-
lessess born of years of living
close to Mother Earth; "and of
daily dealings withereatures
belonging to farm life—caring
for them, knowing their' wel-
fare depended upon you, their

, for many years hers had
been a life that, in spite of hard
work, had yet been a life of
comparative fieedom. Even a
hundred acres could 'not make

there was the horizon, and, with
the rising sun, and the beauty
and promise of a new day. Or
at night the restful fading away
of the setting sun, which can
hever be seen to the same ex-
tent from the steps of a subur-
ban home, hemmed in by sim-
ilar houses, arid by factories and
other buildings, Last year, one
friend who, moved from the city
to the country wrote to me—
"You know, Gwen, until 'we

never realized how 'beautiful a

MARRIED MEN ARE OUT
"Dear Anne Hirst: Why not
pin a medal on married men
who have affairs with other
women? According to your views
(apparently) they can safe ly
ruin someone else's life and then
"go back to being the perfect
husband and father.
'What of „the other woman?
The men don't owe them a thing?
— Or do they?
"One of the sweetest girls I
knew took her life after such an
affair. I, for one, hope there is
just retribution for such men.
DISGUSTED"
* Shocking consequences can
and sometimes do follow extra-
marital affairs, and often t h e
nicest girls, find themselves in-
volved. Yet surely there is proof
enough (in this column alone)
to warn all women what grave
chances they take when they
date °thee women's husbands.
* I have only sypmathy and
* pity for such a girl as your
* friend was. But what of the
* innocent wife who is guilty
* only of being loyal?
* *
Young love can be thrilling,
but it is character one has to live
with. Be sure your new young
man is a real MAN who will
cherish you in all honour and

CUSTARD
BLANC MANGE
"Distant fields are always
green"—an adage, as true today
as it ever was. During the last
ten years or so some of our
farm friends have been veryun-
iettled. They were undecided
whether to stay on the farm dr
sell out. Some felt they were
getting too old for farming ..
too much hard work; scarcity
of farm help, most of it inex-
'perienced, added to their trou-
bles. Farm properties were
fetching good prices. It might
be a good idea to cash in on
a ,good opportunity --,- move to
town, get a steelier • house, less
work for tired Mrs. Housewife
and likely there , would be an
easier job' in town for Mr. Ex-
Fernier.. He would need some-
thing to fill in hie time anyway.
So, some of these friends of
ours did sell out, others are still
sitting on the fence. So what
happens? Extracts from recent
letters tell their own story. "We
so often wish we were still on
the farm. It would be wonder-
ful to get away from this 'con-
venient' noisy suburban area.
There are so many noises—the
everlasting hum of the air-con-
ditioner; the fan on the furnace,
constant murmur of traffic, roar
of the planes taking off from
a nearby airport and static in-
terference on the radio or tele-
vision as a nearby neighbour
uses his electric razor."
Another letter; "I would trade
this city job any day to be back
with the cows; to hear the
steady rustling sound of cows
nosing the hay in their Mangers.
I am making good money at my
present job' but I realize now
that money isn't everything,"
Then I meet and talk with a
former fattn-wife. In reply to
my questions I get an answer
something like this: "Yes, our
house is very convenient, warm
and comfortable even with a
north-west bloseing. And of
course, there is fat' less Work,
But, a house in a sebdivision
means living a life very differ-
ent from what it was on the
farm, Sometimes I stand" at the
open door, look along the street
to other houses very like our
own, and I long with everything
that's in the for the good, clean
country air; to be iii a house
that isn't hemmed in by other
houses..I just have an almost
unbearable craving to get out
of: the house and into the Coun-
try,"
Then from the qdride-eitterS"
we' Bear this! "Well, we have
practically decided to list the
farm, We have looked out a lot'
in town and we think 'we'll

be better than slaving our
hearit out the Way We ate noel.,"

ft seems tO me the change is the
natural result of the difference
Q. Should a business woman
rise to greet a man who enters
her office, and she is already
talking with someone' else?
A, This depends upon circum-
stances. If she is seated' at her
desk with others around her,
she would be likely to rise, but
would merely motion to an
empty chair. If,. however, all are
seated casually, she could rise,
herself.
Q. How long before the wed-
ding should the ushers appear at
the church?
A. They should be on hand at
least an hour beforehand. It is
part of their duty to welcome
the guests and conduct them to
their seats,
Q. Where do the relatives of
the deceased sit during the fun-
eral service at the church?
A. The relatives occupy, the
front pews on the right of the
center 'aisle.
Q. How should the invitations
be worded if the bride is a young
widow?
A. They should be issued in
the names pf her parents, just
as the invitations to 'her first
wedding were. Thus: "Mr. and
Mrs. Paul J. Moore request the
honour of your presence at the
marriage of their daughter, Mary
Moore Johnson., to, etc.”
Q. Someone has told me it is
improper to send a man patient
at a hospital flowers. Is this cor-
rect?
A. Illness is the one occasion
when flowers — and especially
a plant — are in good taste to
send to a man.
.Q. Should the napkin be used
at the table before drinking
water?
A. Yes; the napkin should be
used to wipe the mouth before
drinking, in order to avoid any
smear on the glass.
Q, When making an introduc-
tion, is it good manners to say,
"Miss Brown, this is my friend,
Miss Gray?"
A. No; do not apply the phrase
"my friend" to just one of the
persons, as this would seem to
exclude the other person from
your circle of friends. It• would
be better to eliminate the phrase
altogether.
Q. Is it a rule of etiquette that
one must talk -With your "next-
door neighbour" at the dinner
table?
A. You certainly in u s t, and
your attention should be equally
divided between the one on your
right and the one on your left.
Q. To whom does a bride show
preference when choosing h e r
maidl-of-honour?
A. Her sister should have the
preference. If she has no sister,
she usually chooses her most in-
timate friend.
