MY fiance is patient and wend-

I've been going with for eight
months. I have found out now
that he has a bad reputation and
comes from .a questionable fami-

up with him soon.
"I met another boy some time
ago, a nice one whose people

with hiin then and drop the one
I care for. What should I do?

Stores Sunshine
In Her Cellar
To test new methods of 'ob-
taining solai' energy and con-
verting it into cheap electric
power, Israel is building a new
plant which scientists confi-
dently believe will enable them
to "plug into the sun" all the
time it is shining,
For several hundred" years
science .has dreamed 'of'finding
a perfect method of trapping the
heat of the sun, At the sun's
centre the" temperature is caleil-
lated to be thirty million de-
grees. Its surface is practically
cold by comparison --- a 'mere
10,000 degrees .Fahrenheit
At present most of, the; count-
less millions of horsepower of
pure energy rained on the earth
from the sun, which is 93,000,000
miles, away, is ewasted. One day,
say the, scientists, the sun will
regularly supply us with all the
energy we need. "
Its rays could drive' every ma-
chine in the world, heat every
building, 'light every house —
and still leave a surplus of en-
ergy.
Says one expert: "Your house
will then be warm in winter,
thanks to conservation of the
sun's rays, and cool in summer
—comfortable all the year round
but without the dirt or cost of
stoves, furnaces or expensive re-
frigerating apparatus."
Ensnaring the sun's rays and
putting them to work, however,
is a formidable task which may
not be fully accomplished until
long after the year 2,000. But
already "solar houses" have been
built in various parts of the
world, At one in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, scientists have
found a way to store energy
from the sun in an enormous at-
tic tank. which holds "1,200 gal-
lons of water.
How is it done? The sun's rays
are ingeniously trapped by, a
huge black metal sheet, or plate,
installed on the roof and facing
south at an angle of 57 degrees.
This plate has a number of cop-
per tubes attached 'to it through
which the sun-warmed water
flows tc the insulated tank.
The water is then ciraulated°
"through a series of • other pipes
incorporated in room; ceilings
throughott the hOuse Which is
thus comfortably warmed. It is
claimed that the house- can be
kept at a temperature of GO
degrees. Fahrenheit at all times.
Blonde, attractive Dr. Maria
Telkes, a Hungarian scientist,
who also lives in Massaehusetts,
set out in 1949 of prove that it
is possible to live in a house
without coal, gas, electricity or
any other source of heat but
the sun.
She built a modern-style cot-
tage, but features that differed
from the conventional home in-
chided a shed-like roof and a
south wall consisting mainly of
smell windoWe.
She trapped the sun's rays by
a device built in jest above the
windows, carrying them by a
circulator to a series of "heat
bins" in the cellar. These bins
she filled with a cheap chemi-
cal. The incoming heat, Melted

„ There has to be a first time
for everything and last week we
had it. That is to say for five
days we had the privilege of
taking care of our grandson
without the help of his parents.
Daughter was away to camp
with her troop of Girl Guides
and Art was busy on 'the trans-
portation end of the affair. So
. . . we had Dave. He was asleep
in his cot in, our room when his
parents left and we wondered
what the reaction would be the
next morning. We need not have
worried. Dave accepted the sit
uation and took everything
his stride.
It was very hot and humid.,,
. . as if I need to tell you . .
so we decided that for once in
his life Dave could go without
shoes and socks as his mother
did when she was young. The
lawn was hard and dry and we
wondered if his feet would be
too tender to stand it. But they
did. Part of the 'time Grandpa
was building a stone garden
walk. Dave, nearby, amused
himself by getting in and out
of a small wash-tub into which
Partner had poured a pail of
water. The supply didn't last
too long as Dave got a couple
of tobacco tins and busily baled
it out. It. didn't matter how wet
he got as his clothing was re-
duced to a pair of training pants.
Poor little chap — he usually
settles down so well at night
but for several nights there
wasn't a breath of air and he
was naturally restless. So on
two occasions I took him out of
his cot and we sat on the front
steps together to cool off. After
that I put him back in his cot
and he went right if to sleep.
Strange how children will find
their own, favourite playthings.
My little two-year-old niece in
England has lovely .toys but her
pet plaything was a smell jar
half filled with mixed buttons.
She never tired of tipping them
out and picking them up again.
Dave's mania was to see how
many stones he could pick up off
the driveway. Every time he
came into the house one chubby
little hand would be grasping
a fair-size stone—and woe be-
tide us if we tried to take it
away! A set of farm animals
was another joy—two horses,
two cows, a pig and a sheep. He
sat in his high chair and played
with them and at meal-time the
animals had to be fed as well
as Dave. We made it a rule that
the animals Must be put ,back 'in
their box when he went to bed,
With the exception of one. He
was allowed to, take either the
pig or ,the sheep with hire, firm-
ly grasped in his wee hands
Of course our snpremacy as
caretakers ended' When Mummy
and Dad apPeated on the scene:

dog—actually an eight-months-
old puppy—partly German Shep-
herd breed. Robbie, our Welsh.
Corgi, is a nice little house dog
but as a watch-dog he doesn't
amount to much and we have
the idea that a good guard dog
on a farm is a necessity these
days. Rusty the Second is that
all right but' he needs quite a
bit of training. So far he has
only to bark and people keep
their distance. We had a "Rusty"
once before so this dog has to
be Rusty the Second. Robbie, of
course, is frightfully jealous but
the cats ,don't mind him at all.
In fact Partner said he wit-
nessed the funniest thing last
night he has seen for a long
time. Rusty and Robbie were
having a wrestling match out-
side, half playing, half fighting
with a good deal of growling
mixed in. Black Cat Joe was sit-
ting on top of the woodpile look-
ing on. All at once Joe raced
over to the dogs, jumped in be-
tween them and broke it up. The
dogs were so surprised they
stopped immediately. Then Re-
feree Joe calmly walked away
and went back to the woodpile!
Well, I really think this is the
happiest morning since my re-
turn from England — and only
because it is pleasantly cool. In
the Old. Country I was never
warm enough but I can certainly
take the cool weather better than
the heat, especially when it goes
on day after day. It is exhaus-
ting to say the least. Sometimes
I think there should be a law
against working in temperatures
over 90 degrees. Who was it
said — "Only mad dogs and
Engliehmen lie out in the mid-
day sun."—or words to that
effect. 'Here's hoping we don't
get another heat wave for a
little while. Some jobs are 'quite
impossible in hot weather.
