As well as being a clever doctor he was kind, friendly and sympathetic. It grieved, me to learn that some years ago, while creasing the main street in. Moose Jaw he was knocked down by a car and killed, When Bob was a few months - old he was not expected to live and was in hospital over a month under Dr, Black's care. When we went to bring Bob home we stopped at Dr. Black's office and asked for his bill. "Bill . . just forget it—you've had enough trouble already." "But Doctor, you were in to see the baby every day," I ex- claimed. "Yes, yes—but I was going to the hospital anyway." Almost immediately we moved "down east" and lost touch with Dr. Black, And then, out of a blue sky, came this visitor, re- viving old memories. A visitor who came as a stranger and went away as a friend. B-e-r-r - but it's cold outside! Sunday was cold and bright, so sunny our Toronto folk came out ,as previously planned. By the time they got here the car radiator was boiling — thermo- stat stuck. Bob came along in answer to an SOS by telephone, ready to take over if things couldn't be fixed. However by eight-thirty they were all on their way home again, And at that time it was 20 below zero. It rose ten degrees during the night.

MISPLACED. CONFIDENCE' "Dear Anne .Hirst: I was an pnly child, at home, so I was overjoyed that my husband was one of a .large.family. I made a few mistakes, and one. was getting tee. intimate with, a certain sister-in-law, I be-. lieved in her, and we both shared the same criticisms of some of the others, Of courser. I. never repeated anything she told. me,. but she was not so careful. "Now several of the others: have little to say to me, and I cla feel there must be a reason, • This. one girl is very confiden- tial with the others, but lately has. almost ignored me..

MODEL "MEN" — To attract male customers,to a men's fashion show, a West Berlin store hit on the idea of having pretty girls model men's spring and summer clothing, The .idea worked— as far as attendance was concerned, but whether the customers ever noticed the new fashions is a moot question. "Dear Anne Hirst; When we Were married, I thought I was.

This depends upon how early in the evening the re- freshments are served, but prob- ably about 30 minutes after fin- ishing is the usual time to leave, A guest at any affair should never ,"eat and run." Q. If a man and woman are -walking together during a rain, and both have umbrellas, should each one use his own umbrel- la? A, This might prove awk- ward. It would be much bet- ter if both were to walk under the man's larger umbrella, Q. Is it proper to eat the fruit, sometimes served in a cold drink, or Is this supposed to serve merely for flavor and decoration? A. This is optional; take it or leave it. Q. When drinking any kind of refreshment, isn't• it proper to leave a little of the liquid in the glass? A. Not necessarily. One may very properly drink it all. Q. When a bride is writing notes of thanks 'to friends who do not .Itnow her husband, should the notes be signed with both names? A. The signature should be her name only, but the note should say, "Dick and I deeply appreciate, etc." here on business—an absolute stranger "to both of us. It was , very cold so while Partner and our visitor were talking in the living-room I went out to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. When I got back I found the two men. talking like old bud- dies . . . "do you remember so- and-so? ... Sure I do—but what about old Joe—what happened to him?" Naturally I wondered at this sudden intimacy. Well, it turned out that during World War I our visitor was -attached to the same battalion as Partner —the 28th—but not in the same company. Not only that but this man came from the same dis- trict in which we lived when we were farming in Siskatche- wan and so'there were two fields to 'explore for memories of mu- tual friends and acquaintances. Believe me when two old first war Vets get together business is suspended as they swap stories of army life in general and com- bat experiences in particular.

Wile Ham Malbert, a Yorkshireman, recently attained that age .and Celebrated the event by, having a "reet do" et his local, may have had Mere' than my usual Seven pints" he ad- mits, "but, it did me no' harm," Younger generations can learn a lot from some of the old 'uns who show such zest for liv- ing, a wealth of initiative and, above all, a grend sense of hu- mour, there were some hopeful fe- male hearts in Columbia, South America, recently when the newspapers announced that a worthy citizen was looking for a wife, The girls stopped fixing their makeup, however, when it was learned that the an- nouncement was the birthday declaration of the' oldest in- habitant — aged well over 100! An Ipswich man, William Camps, isn't as old as that. But recently he celebrated his nine- ty-fifth birthday by marrying — for the third time. During the honeymoon, his fifty-five-year- old bride found him up a lad- der, painting the house. Women do pretty well in the old age stakes, too. Reporters who visited an institution to congratulate a woman celebrat- ing her hundredth birthday re- cently received quite a shock. The woman they saw might have been years younger. She wore lipstick and her hair had been newly permed. She was entertaining her companions with songs of her own composi- tion and — to crown it all — she performed a lively tap- dance! Equally amusing is the in- stance of the woman who re- fused to observe any special celebration of her ninety-first birthday. She did her house- work as usual, and even swept the 'chimney. Many octogenarians drive cars, but „a Suffolk dealer does something far more exciting. Al- though he is ninety-three, 'he goes around in a trap pulled by a spirited pony which takes a lot of controlling. "Give up?" he snorts contemptuously. "Not while I can hold the reins!" Considerable anxiety was felt by the friends of eighty-two- year-old Georges Cormier not long ago, when the aged French- matl, could not be, found. But M. Cormier was quite safe; he had gone for a jaunt — in his bal- loon. "I was blown fifty miles off my course," he explained casually. A few months ago a grocery traveller called at a village shop, He was new to the district, but had been told that the shop- keeper was "getting on a bit." When, therefore, an old man with a grey beard came for- ward, he began to talk business. But almost at once the old chap pulled him up. "It isn't me you want to ask," he said, " it's me dad." "Your dad?" echoed the trav- ellers in some surprise. "How old is he, then?" "Ninety-eight," replied the other proudly, "and you'll find him in the garden taking up the 'taters," ' The majority of old, people are convinced of the necessity for exercise and hard work, A young reporter, sent to inter- view a country man on his hun- dredth birthday, was asked by the, centenarian: "How did you get here?" "By car from the town," re- plied the reporter. "Car!" exploded the ancient. "Why, it's only four miles. And I walk it there and back every Saturday." If you were well over a hun- dred, would you feel inclined to rise early? Probably not; but Albert Woolson has different ideas. This survivor of the Ame rican Civil War regularly gets up at six in the morning. lIe broke the rule once — on his 108th birthday, just to celebrate, Albert stayed in bed — for one. extra hour! , Persons who Worry about what peonle think Of them would be surprised to know how seldom, peOple do. "I. waist , contact my :001- 1!>on'tbOther abotit the other Isn't it grand td hear the trains running again? Who would-have, thought the shriek of a whistle would be music in our ears? But so it is.. At night yOu can hear the chug-chug of the trains along the track, the warning whistle as they approach the crossing and you can lie, in bed and feel happy about the whole situation—at least until October 1! After that—Who knows? It seems strange such a crippling strike should go on around- us and we suffer so little from the effect of it. Our only inconveni- ence was getting our daily paper a day late. So it is for the peo- ple as a whole more than for ourselves• that we are glad the strike is over. Whether it was justified is another question. This is a busy time for farmers. Some folk have the idea that the winter months are the farmer's slack season, That is a situation that belongs to the past. 'Now there is no slack season: Last week, for instance, the farmer would gq out to his morning chores, milk the cows, come into breakfast, listen to the news, hear that Sir Anthony Eden had resigned and that Harold Mac- Millan was the new British prime minister. Startling events, it is true, but they all seem very far removed from the farmer's problems. Seem to be, -but they are not. Everything that happens —in Britain, the Middle 'East, Russia, Europe and the United States eventually has some indi- rect influence on us all, includ- ing the hundred-acre farmer„ the livestock breeder and the market gardener. No one cari-ot should—listeh to the news these days and then shrug his shoul- der and exclaim—"Well, that doesn't concern me." Any think- ing person knows that whatever happens, and wherever it hap- pens, concerns us all. But thank heaven we don't have to deal di- rectly with the mighty issues of the clay. We can go about our ordinary work; the "farmer eat- ing for his livestock, the farm- er's wife busy in the honee, some of them cleaning eggs and washing the cream separator, baking for a sale of work, going out to a quilting or sewing for ,children or grandchildren.
