ny daughter had heeded , your
warnings to young girls about
going with just one !DU! Her-
irst love affair has ended, and
;he is heartbreken. A week. ago
the boy told her he thought they
were too young to go steady;
they're 16, His mother says he
loves my girl, but he doesn't
know what he wants for the
'future. Lately he's been going
with ..a fast crowd and he has
changed a lot..
"Mere than once I Pleaded
with her to date other boys, too;
she had plenty of chances,, but
she thought the idea was silly:
she was so happy with him she
couldn't bear to waste an even-
ing, as she called it. . „ I have
reminded her now there is plen-
ty of time to meet someone else,
but she says she can't get him

could comfort her!

Fears that their village in the
Mountains of South Bavaria
might be swallowed up by a
moving, hill caused the Inhabi-
tants to flee from their hornes
recently,
The hill, 'at Gonzeried, had
suddenly started moving four
feet a day. Giant rocks and
trees, were, on the march. The
village, water supply was stop-
ped. Deep craters appeared,
Experts who arrived to inves-
tigate could not find out why
the hill was moving. It has now
stopped, but it is reported that
the villagers are taking no risks
arid if their "wandering hill," as
they .call it, resumes its mean-
. deringS -they -are prepared to
move.,out at a moment's notice,,
Little can be done, when hills
and Motintains move as the re-
sult .of 'landslides, They usually
occur 'where there is running
water frem rains .and where the
subsoil is ,loose. ,
At the eginning of last cen-
tury -a' Wet summer caused a. big
part• of a mountain in Switzer-
land to break away from others.
It slid downhill and then moved
across the valley below, reduc-
ing villages to rubble as it pass-
ed
To ,add,to the desolation, a
portion o this great laildfall
fell into a lake, raising a wave
70 feet high which swept over
the villages on the'bariks. It was
estimated that 457 people died
as a result of this one landslide.
A peak in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains on the Californian
side- used to be very popular
with - mountaineers. Thousands
had scaled its rocky sides to the
top, a cone-shaped spur jutting
500 feet aboye the main moun-
tain.
Then it vanished. Trappers
and ranchers rubbed their eyes
in astonishment as they glanced
towards the mountains early one
morning 'in November, 1884.
They had heard no sound, All
they :knew was that the familiar
Buren's Peak was no longer
there.

It's hard to appreciate the
aesthetic values of snow and
winter when your car won't,
start, or the pipes freeze. But
a good snowstorm does have
beautiful consequences. The
light,' dry snow clings to the
trees and shrubs to redecorate
the landscape in the frigid air.
A traveler on a country road, or
in a„‘ rural town, can see the
arches 'of white formed by the
festooned trees bowing along his
path.
There ought to be' time even
in this hurried civilizations; to
relax and marvel at it. Time
perhaps to' scuff in the snow
where, as children, we would
have hurriedly dragged the
"flexible flyers' on our way to
the hillside.
There ought to be time-but,
alas, too often there isn't. Snow
slows us down, it .impedes our
rapid transit, it makes us im-
patient to be home by the fire*
side. And so .we stand discon-
solate, wet, 'chilled, waiting only
to get back into a warm home.
Then, if we•have an especially
aesthetic turn of ,mind, we
glance out - the picture window
.and see the falling snow reflect-
ed in the street light's glow and
say: "I hope 'this, clears up be-
fore morning." Too bad. At least
we could say a respectful word
for nature. - From The Hart-
ford Courant.
Q. What is the exact meaning
of "semi-formal," as applied to
the dress of both men and wo-
men?
A. This usually depends upon
the community. In some places,
where the men customarily
wear tails, then semi-formal
means tuxedos for them and
simple evening dresses for the
women. In a simpler commun-
ity, it, would be plain dark blue
or gray business suits for the
men and afternoon frocks for
the women.
Q. Would it be proper for the
parents of a girl who has eloped
to give a reception for the
couple when they return?
A. This would be perfectly
proper.
Q. When is it correct to place
the dinner knife across the up-
per right edge of the plate?
A. Only after the knife has
been used. Unusel implements
should be left where they .are
placed on the table.
Q. When• one has received an
invitation two weeks in advance
of a large dinner party in a
friend's 'home, when should one
acknowledge invitation?
A. Immediately. There is
nothing so inconsiderate as
keeping a hostess waiting for 'a
reply to such an invitation.
Q. How should the invitation
to act as a godparent be extend-
ed?
A. Either verbally or by for-
mal note. The request can hard-
ly be refused, and one should
consider it an honor to be asked
to stand sponsor for a child.
Q. What should a man do if
he is uncertain whether or not
to remove his hat?
A. Good rule for him to fol-
low is, when in doubt, remove
the hat.
Q. Certain relatives and
friends of mine persist in kiss-
ing me on the mouth when
greeting me. Without . seeming
rude, would it be proper for me
to turn my cheek to them?
A. A good suggestion is, that
you kiss the approaching friend
quickly on the' cheek before she
has a chance at you.
Q. May one use a' small piece
of bread for dipping up the
grayy that is' eft on one's plate?
A. It is bad manners, to "wipe
up" the gravy with a piece pf
bread held in the fingers. How-
ever, it is all right to place the
bread down in the gravy, and ,
then eat it with a fork.
Q. How does one correctly ad-
that is no reason why publishers
are not too concerned about the
effect of television on the read-
ing public. I think what I enjoy
most is the telecast of , a well-
known story. "Robinhood", for
instance. The scenery, character-
ization and the stage 'props' are
just about perfect, No doubt it
was produced primarily' for
juvenile entertainment but it
takes an adult to appreciate
such an artistic and authentic
production,
Well, the weather has been,
making the news again. I can't
imagine 'what England is like in
such exteremely cold weather.
I heard one announcer say it is
the coldest winter since 1892.
That is a little before my time
but. I hedrd My mother speak
of that year quite' often. It was
the year when. the River Stour
in Suffolk froze solid for six
Weeks and my father used, to
skate along the river to a near-
by village, a distance of OVer
three miles. Here, at home, we
have a little of everything. One
day, after a six-inch snowfall,
the snow in the lane was soft
and skiddish: I got stuck at 'the
",top 'of Otir lane because the
"back wheels 'wouldn't follow
*the front wheels which resulted
in the ear doing a sort of ceab-
walk. The next clay, at the
bottom of the lane, I Waited for
traffic to pass before.driving on
to the highway. That did. it:
When I tried start up again
the wheels spun arid I Was' down
to ice. Partner had to come to
the rescue with ashes. Oh, for
a car with snow-tires I But alas,
snow-tires are what you can't
get for an English oar. However,
I felt a little better when I saw
a tow-truck dinning along with
a big, newish-looking ear' trail,

This feels like the morning
after -as it definitely is! The
morning following a visit from
Dee, Arthur, ,Dave and Honey.
David I might add, has fully re-
covered' from all his troubles
and is now very much a live
wire. That is why today feels
like the morning after. Of
course, he has become badly
spOili, especially in regard to
meals, so' I imagine his mother
is 'going to have quite 'a time
getting everything back to nor-
mal - partly because she seems
very run-down herself and
hardly able to cope with David's
exuberant spirits. What a tre-
mendous power of come-back
children, apparently possess. To
look at Dave now it seems im-
possible that a little while ago
he 'was so sick.
Yesterday was such a lovely
day . we were thinking they
would be here, but as the after-
noon wore on we began to give
up Hope. Then they arrived and
the reason for the delay was
an accident on the Queen Eliza-
beth Way that held up traffic
for over an hour. However, they
finally got here - and pre-
sumably they got .back again
safe and sound. Knowing what
the traffic is ljko takes awry
htlf.the pleasure of having one's
family come to visit. Yes, pa-
rents get plenty of headaches
these days when.their 'children
are travelling the highways.
And then 'the children arrive
and say in surprise - "What on
earth were you worrying about? '
We were all right!"
Well, in view of the current
talk on a national health plan
we asked Dee and Art What
Dave's illness had cost them.
The answer-. . $750' for hos-
pitilization, plus special nurses,
surgical and medical care. There
were also incidental exoenses
which brought the total cost
close to $1,000, partly covered by
insurance. There you ,havp a
pretty fair sample of what it
means to bring an ordinary child
bask to normal health.,
Compare that with the ever=
present financial burden which
many parents must carry' who
have a retarded or permanent-
ly afflicted child in the 'faintly.
I ask you -- do we need a Na-
tional Health' Plan in Canada?
