T It e twenty-eight,yeareold wife was told, about the twins. a week Defore ,She had -the' first baby, a boy weighing 4 lb, 6 oz. at birth, After his birth, the fa- ther camped on the hospital doorstep all day. After that • he 'phoned t h e hospital every hour for six days non-stop, Then he took to making several visits a day. Whet's the record birth de- lay in the case of twins? The British Medical Association says it is probehly held by twins born in Strasbourg in 1846, with e an interval of 137 days between them. The first arrived on April. 30th, the second on September 13th. Proud father Bernard Schnees had jest cradled his new-born daughter in 1955 when he got a shock, The doctor told. him: "You're going to be a father again, in about two . months." He. was eight. Forty-eight days. after baby Deborah was born to Mrs, Schneese —. at Delaware; U.S. Douglas, an equally bonny baby, arrived. Delays of this kind are usual- ly due to differing weights of the babies, say doctors. In Scotland, • in 1934, twins were., born fifty miles apart at •ari interval of two days. The mother gave birth " to the first baby at her home on the island of Scarpay, Invernessshire and. was attended by an elderly neighbour. THEY MAJOR IN PULCHRITUDE—National College Queen Mari- lyn K. Meyer, 18, center, poses with her ladies-in-waiting after her nomination. The ladies-in-waiting (they'll have to wait for another chance to be queen) are Carol Jean Lewis, 18, right, and Joan Schoenfield, 19. "Dear Aline Hirst: I am 20, and deeply in love with a man 40 years old, He says lie loves me, and he has proven it in many ways, He has all the qualities of being patient, generous and understanding, I've been seeing him for two years, and during this time I've never taken any real interest in anyone else. "We get along perfectly toge- ther as far as feelings and ideas are concerned; I am always so contented in his company. "I knew that such a thing would not, be socially accepted, but I've been so much happier in every way since I met him. Do you think I am right in seeing him, and perhaps thinking of marriage? SLIGHTLY CONFUSED" What Of The Future? * If you have dated this man * since you were 18 and are so * contented with him, it is likely * you and he would have an ad- * mirable malriage at least for * a while. He seems to be germ- * Me and devoted to you, and * the fact you are so at home * with him is a valuable asset * in any permanent relationship, • The question is, would you * be satisfied with him as a hus- * band as the years accumulate? * When your letter came I re- * called one from a girl, 27, who * had married a man years older. * I looked it up, and quote her * dissatisfaction: "I do love my * husband," she claims, "but he * is too settled to like the things * I do. We never go anywhere What should a teenage girl do when she falls in love with a boy and he turns her down in favour of another girl? Get madly jealous? Not at all, says a leading psychiatrist who is an expert on teenage love affairs. The girl should deliberately set about blotting the episode .from her mind, She should at oncce burn the boy's love letterS; all" of *them, however-al-dent they are.

A man of 40 is not an old man, by any means and your friend's temperament may postpone the desire for a se- dentary life for years, When you become 40 and are still full of life, would you have to give up the good times this older girl already misses so much? Can you look down the stretch of years that lie ahead and believe you will be entirely satisfied with him to the end? Can you take the chance? Has the man proposed to, you, or are you taking it for granted that he will?

Her friends tease us about each other which embarrasses her, but I no- tice she doesn't deny what they say; they say she -likes me, too, but she's never said so. I date other girls, too, so people won't know how much. I think of her but I don't go with any one of them too often. "The girl doesn't let me know how she feels about me; how can I find out? (You've helped me before this, but I'm more wor- ried than I was and I depend on you.) LOST AND FOUND—"When in trouble—SQUAWK!". Apparent- ly that was the principle that saved this rare palomino Shet- land pony colt from who knows what fate. It's shown with its owner, Robert S. Gault, who raises tiny Shetlands as a hob- by. The pony was stolen, but abandoned next day. Gault believes the `screamsof the un- weaned pony, uttered when it is hungry, frightened the thieves so that they were afraid to keep the 'animal longer. 4605 10-18 Make a wonderful new ward- robe — from this ONE dress pattern!

He knew where they were when he ran into them,even buckling one of the guards. Steel stakes were not the only 'trouble in that field. Earlier in the season one of the heifers escaped from the pasture. Partner couldn't think how she got out until he went along by the fences, At one spot last winter the survey- ors had been. cutting brush and made a hole in the 'fence. Part- ner fixed it up by using the hrush to fill the, gap. Some time later, unknown to , us,' the sur- veyors were back, evidently to do soiree work at the same spot. They pulled the brush away and left the gap c.-q?osed. No, wonder the heifer got out! If Partner had not seen her the rest of 'the cattle would no doubt have fol- lowed We have, a notice from the Department to' the effect that compensation will be paid for any damage done. Fine e- but how can a farmer assess the trouble he goes to in' getting a heifer back to pasture? Or how can we put in dollars and cents the worry it was to ire haVing Partner on a power mower weaving his way in and out, among the stakes and finally having to finish ,the job by cut- around the stakes with .a scythe. The trouble is the fellows that, come around are not deliber- ately careless; they just don't . understand the little things that are important on a farm. When the men were around driving in the stakes Partner said to them: "What's going 'to this if I want to ploughthie fieldr' One man - answered: "I guess you Won't want to do much on this land by .the time we get though!"' How 'true—the only trouble is surveying' the' land We have come to the end of a perfect week — weatherwise — and a very busy one. I have been trying to keep ahead of the garden, and partner has been busy cutting hay; all among the stakes set out by the Department of Highways. More about that later, Beans . . . We shall hardly dare to look at a bean after awhile. We have eaten them, given them away and cooked them for the dogs. •And still they keep growing — and the second sowing almost ready. Beets and carrots are groWing fast' too but the peas are not quite so retvarding. The apples also"-keep 'me busy although it is a sort of race between the twin heifers and myself to see who gets the ,apples first. Early in the morning the heifers are around the harvest apple tree gobbling up the windfalls. When they retire to a shady spot to chew their cud I sneak out and get in my innings, shaking the tree by the branches until I have enough apples to fill a , pail, which gives me about five quarts of applesauce when they` are canned. I cook the apples with the peels on and then put the pulp through a rotary col- ander, That way we have ap- plesauce all winter, whether we have apples or not Some people wonder Why I bother with can- ning at all when there are only the two of us now. I wouldn't if we had a deep freeze, but We haven't and I am not so sure that it is really necessary now. If I can fill a few dozen sealers we are sure of having 'enough stuff for our own use and sOine- thing on hand for weekend homecomers.

He was wroni,—triere Wet Chaplain's Message One would think that if there were a nation of people on the face of the earth who possessed the lion's share of the good things of life, things like plenty of food, houses, automobiles, telephones and television, in- terior plumbing, refrigerators, electricity for common use, etc., that that would be the most con- tented, well adjusted and hap- piest people on the earth. We are that people. We have the lion's share of this world's goods. We have more of mod- ern conveniences, gadgets, food, and other good things than any other nation on the earth. Yet --we are one of the most dis- contented nations of the world. Let me prove this: We have the highest crime rate of any nation. In any 24- hour period there are some 300 deaths from crime, 1,100 burg- laries, 250 robberies, and count- less other minor crimes. Fifty per cent of these crimes are com- mitted by persons in the 21 year age average. We have an exceptionally huge dope problem. Thirty per cent of the crimes committed in our large cities are the direct re- suet of dope addiction or of ef- forts to obtain money for the continuance of the dope' habit. Our high schools and collages are infiltrated with the dope traffic. Dope is a big problem. We are a nation of sick peo- ple. Over 65 per cent of per- sons in One of four hospitals is sick from the neck up. This does not mean that the person is a mental patient, It means that whatever illness is present has- come out of worry. tension, •the poor adjustment to daily living, Alcoholism Ise a big problem. Over eight per cent of the popu- lations of our large cities, are alcoholics; not just moderate drinkers, but people who must Have another drink no matter what the' cost. It's, time we woke up to the true picture about Outselves. The Christian Church has, through the terituries, teught to guide mankind whenever it has sought the right paths to God, The church rnakeS its' mistakeS, it sornetireds blenders, htit' can you. nathe any Other institution On earth that you can hint' to ter what We as individuals and its a nation SO desperately need?
