Last week we lied a variety of experiences. While it was still cold we ordered an extra ton of coal—to be delivered early, before the frost was out of the ground, The coal was sent up in a one-truck, Instead of staying on high ground the driver, took a wide turn in the field, dropped into a dead-fur=, row and got hopelessly mired. He sent fora big truck to pull him out. The big truck got stuck, Then along came the manager to supervise the pro- ceedings, He left his ear in the lane. Partner came along with gravel, ashes, boards and an extra logging chain, At long last they were extricated bu to get out of the field they had to come over a low spot—they got stuck again. This time a tow- truck was sent for, About two hours from the' time the 'pickup c4ite 'in, the ear .and the three trublee ;went , down 'the Janet:- Incidentally • the coal was Unloaded the fiekl• and car- .

During- all our marriage (29 years) my hus- band has always been nnsympa- , thetic and critical. He has nagged incessantly, finding fault with me about inconsequential thinge and keeping me nervously upset. He, is so jealous he has accused Me of dating my own relatives! Incidentally, he elves me no spending money; I have to buy my own clothes, fortunately, I have a small income. "I have raised five wonderful children (all are married) and I am proud of them. I worked hard for the first 12 years to help pay for our home. I have exercised all the patience I could in order to have peace, but noth- ing has softened my husband's carping,... "For years I've read your col- umn every day, and I have had her a bear-hug, which Honey graciously :permits., And then they play ball together .. Honey always did love to play ball. But- that ball is hers and she won't let. Dave have it. So, while resting , between capers, Honey lies with it between her front paws.' But Dave ,is just as cute; watches - his opportunity and .when, .1-foney half asleep he creeps up and snatches the ball away ' When Ilaughtet goes shopping she has Dave with his harness „ in one hand sand Honey on a leash ,in the , other. I imagine she'has quite a time. Last night Bob 'and Joy were in Toronto and Honey did her hula-hula wiggle the minute she saw Bob. ',Dee "thinks she will probably go crazy .the, first time, I show up, But I don't know . . . Honey is happy with anyone who will make a' fuss 'of her.'And; in spite of•the fact that she- is in a city .home,. I imagine, with Davey's help Honey gets more exercise Many years ago, in the late eighties, the IcliilAdelphia Na-. tional League team had a first baseman .named Sid .Farrar, Like all ballENTerP,;<.,Pid took pride in his batting :a:ied fielding aye.- rages, But he. had an ether pride. ' This was his little daughter., a tiny mite of loveliness, The father's chest would expand, with, joy when the little : girl was brought to the ball •park to see- him play and he could hear her little . voice rOote. ing hard for her ballplayer father, .Sid Farrar. As the girl gre,w older,' the • father and ,his. friends realized that she was' an exceptionally gifted vocalist, So Sid made it his life's, purpose to provide the child with a musical education at no 'matter what cost and „sac-, rifice. Realizinethat a complete Musical - • edticetion would re- quire a • large outlay of moneY,"'' Sid began to ,figure .out ways and, ineanse.to''raise the money:, Fine baliplaYer that he was, salaries in baseball at that time were ,net, what they are today,' lie -played hard and put aside every cent that he could above' bare living .'eeenenses. Everything, lie earned above his needs went. to the . little • girl's musical ed.ue , cation. Still, it wasn't enough.' Sid's team-mates . on the Philly' ' team became as interested in the little girl's career • Be her father. - they held locker-room confer- ences to figure out how Sid Far- rar could earn more money than his baseball playing paid him. And one day they stumbled on a elan. The Philly ballplayers decided to collect all the tinfoil they could find and bring it to their team-mate Sid Farrar who, in turn, could sell it. Wherever the .. team went, they collected pieces of tin foil, Often before and after games, the players, and Sid Far- rar searched through the stands for stray pieces of the foil. Soon the fans learned of the- way that Ski Farrar and his - team-mates were trying to earn extra money to pay for the girl's musical education. They decided to help out, too. They went around picking up tin foil and saving it and sending it in to plover Sid Farrar. The result was that veritable. bales of tin foil were delivered` -- daily' 'the Philly first base- man. The revenues derived from . its sale became a material aid to his daughter. The work of. Sid Farrar and his teammates, and the fans of- Philadelphia was far fi-om• - Wasted; The - little girl, the danghter •of - the Philadelphia first baseman, .Sid Farrar, went on to become, America's greatest opera singer, the stir e of the.

With all the various things- there have been to comment on- • just lately, like 'winter Weather and summer thunderstorms, I seem to have, forgotten one or two changes that have taken place at Ginger Farm as a direct ' result of Tippy's death. The first was a realization that we must have another dog — a. watch dog, The next problem . was the kind, and where to get it. We thought we had solved " it by making. arrangements to adopt a year-old collie whose owners had sold their farm and were moving to town, But it didn't 'Work. The dog would not make friends at all and since he had never been tied up nor even had a, collar on, it was hard to know how to handle him, or how to keep hith from miming away' before he got • accutomed to us. So we had. to let the young lad come and take him home again. We were sorry because he was a lovely dog -- if we could have trusted him,. Pre- vious to this, Dee and Art had taken. Honey to Toronto, think- ing we could handle one dog better than two.. So n'ow we haven't a dog at all. The breed I have always wanted if. we had to get another dog was a Welsh Corgi—but hove or where to get one is the question. Corgis are not too common in Canada. We, could get a German Shepherd quite easily but we area little afraid of not being able to train it pro- perly. `So here we are sitting on the fence, -undecided whether to get a puppy, a half-grown dog, Corgi, a collie or a German shepherd. In the meantime Honey has settled down quite happily in Toronto, much to Davey's de- lights Dave loves toe put both arms around. Honey and give M-t ISSUE 17 — 1955 tg so much kelp from it.

What you need * is tenderness and understand- * ing, and your husband is the * one to supply them, Whether * after all these years he will, * only he can prove.

SHY BOY "Dear Anne Hirst: I'm in high school, and there is a boy there I like real well. By his actions I know he likes me and he tells ray friends so. But lie is so shy he just can't say anything! "This has been going on, for a long time. What can I do? I'm Afraid to start anything for fear he might get the wrong iimpres- sion. UNSIGNED" * A shy lad .is self-conscious,- * so be careful not to make any * move that could embarrass * him. Of course you could in- * vite a few ciassmates in for an .* evening and include hiin, which gives him the chance e* to ask to come again. , Why not trust to his pres- Po exit liking for you and let '7*. things ride as they are? Going * with other boys is always * helpful; it proves ,you are at- * tractive and it should stimu- * late his eagerness to know, you, * better. He will outgroW his * shyness one day, and if you * have been cordial meanwhile * he should naturally turn to * you. When a wife has given years of her life and love to raising a fine family, she has earned the sympathy and appreciation which her husband promised in his-vow to-cherish her. If these are with- held, she is bereft indeed Anne Hirst has given many a disheatened wife the courate to escape from such cruelty.
