How Far can You Fall•—•and Vivo sip.-foot fall has sometimes 'proved fatal, yet there are many people walking about to. day who • have fallen hundred* of feet and lived to tell the tale.,. One of, the most nightmarish. accidents, was that of A York- shire, man who. fell doWn 5Q0 ft., colliery shaft receiving only superficial injuries. In his, fall he overtook a dropping cage and clung to its roof for the remaining 750 ft, .Only a few weeks ago a painter fell 0.0 ft. from a Devon- shire bridge - into two feet of water — And: walked away una injured, He was .painting the• bridge when he slippedi A doctor told him he was shaken but otherwise all right and expressed amazement at his eseape. Another terrifying fail Ntras that of an Austrian who, while visiting. Vesuvius, leaned over the crater to test its heat and fell in. Before he reached the molten lava he succeeded in grasping and clinging to an un, even ledge, maintaining a pre- carious hold ,until his friend; who fortunately had some ropes, managed to lower one and pull • him up. The general belief that you lose consciousness when falling from a great -height is not borne out by investigation. Research shows that the safest fallers of all are babies, acrobats, drunks and cats. All .. • are completely relaxed, When hitting the ground.

For in-. stance for years I used to reach a state of nenr-paole every time we got a few inches of snow is our lane. We have been stuck so of ten trying to get Out, Some .time we would get halfway and then have to be dug out or towed in or out as the case may be. Or I would sometimes go to town all right and then find the ruts would be filled in again. That meant more digging for Partner — especially when We had the little Morris, This win.- ter we equipped cur Canadian- built car with snowtires. "No need to get stuck now," said Partner. He is right but now it is my confidence that is at fault. I guess I need some kind of morale tires, The trouble la I see a few inches of the fluffy stuff ahead of me and I just think. I'm going to get stuck. Actually I haven't had any trouble at all, the car seems to go through anything. But I still find it hard to believe and put it down to luck more than the snowtires. Speaking of snow, yesterday I thought I had heard the very latest. A young people's organi- zation thought it would be great fun to have a sleigh-riding party . . . but the sleigh was to be pulled by a tractor ! Shades of our grand-parents . what would they have said could they have looked into the future and seen the young folk of 1957 go- ing for a sleigh ride behind a tractor? No sturdy, sure-footed farm team — no sleigh bells, no plunging through heavy drifts . . . worse still, no romance. Alai well, I suppose what the young folk don't have they don't miss. Only we who are older know of the thrills and spills that used to belong to the winter, wonderland. not .enough, to keep.. them going.

Now the situation is reversed. We are, encouraged to save. That is fine ,--for those_ who are able to save, but won- der what the future holds in store for the farmer, in either a big or a small way. Some agri- cultural economists say the hundred-acre farmer is on the way out but one speaker at a recent convention prophesied, there would be more hundred, acre farmers in the future but that they would be better 'far- mers, with a greater production from a lesser acreage,. We hear too that the amount of good farm land being taken over for road construction, industrial de- velopment and housing" is little short of a tragedy. On the other hand we hear of vast areas of undeveloped land that could be farmed quite profitably, All these contradictory reports are very confusing — but at least it will be interesting to watch developments. Developments are always in- We often hear of plane crashes and we think "How dreadful" and then I am afraid we forget about them. But when some of the dead and injured are known to us then the tragedy really strikes home. In the re- cent crash of , the American Miami-bound plane there were several Canadians aboard. One of the critically injured and one of the dead were well known in this district — Mr. and Mrs. Hartley Anderson.

His wife Joy was a very lovely and accomplished girl and came from a farm just a few miles from here. Naturally everyone around here is stun- - ned by the tragedy knowing that five little children have been left motherless. We sin- cerely hope that Hartley will make a speedy recovery from his injuries and be spared to his children. Just to think that so much suffering grief and heart- ache, can be caused in such a few minutes. But it could hap- pen just as easily in a car, that is something we need to remem- ber. In fact I would guess the percentage of fatalities in the air is considerably less than those on the road. What a puzzling world this is. For the life of me I can't under- stand what is really happening. The rising cost of living is usu- ally laid at the door of organ- ized labour — high wages, short working hours.

STRANGER'S PROBLEM "Dear Anne Hirst: A few months ago, I married the friend of a relative whom I had visited, My family are in Europe, and I brought along my little girl from a previous marriage. I had known about the man before I arrived, and thought I was for- tunate that we fell in love. But things are so different from what I expected I "My new husband professed to love my little girl, but after' we moved to his new place of business, he changed completely, Now he actually shuns her, and treats me almost with scorn. I do not understand this, and I am very unhappy. I know no- body here, and this makes me hesitate to try to make friends. "Unless my husband is wor- ried about business, I cannot ac- count for this grave change. I am really frightened — for I find. I am going to have his baby, and I don't know how he will take the news. My relative lives in another state, and I do not wish to confide such a thing to anyone anyhow. Can you ad- vise me? REGINA" * I hope you will tell your * husband about the baby im- * mediately. Knowing he is to * be a father himself should • make him kinder to you and * your little girl, Canadian men ▪ often spoil their wives, feel- * ing (mistakenly) that they * should be shielded from war- * ry; this I do not agree with, • but if anything is bothering * your husband, that, is prob- * ably why he has not discussed ▪ it. At any rate, remind him * that what ever affects him is * your problem, too, and ask * him to have confidence in * you. * If you have not joined a * branch of your church here, I hope you will do so at * once; your husband will see • that you meet the minister * and other members. Cultivate * your neighbors; I think you'll " find them warmly welcoming and anxious to be of use. They * cannot know how you need * friends, though, unless you * make the gesture. * * Often it is more helpful to get an objective opinion on a difficult situation from one who is com- petent, sympathetic and prr-ti. cal.

Alcott's "Lit- tle Women" was first published in 1868, she could not have dreamt that it would become as well known throughout the world as any of Shakespeare's plays. Millions of copies have been sold and it has been trans- lated into 15 foreign languages. Perhaps "Little Women" seems so true to life and experience and makes such a universal ap- peal because the author used her own family as the basis for her book. Meg, joe, Beth and. Amy are almost exact photo- graphs of the four Alcott sis- ters. They are part of a warm, close-knit family group, strug- gling with poverty, but meeting their problems together and making their aown fun. Their story makes a real work of art which is a thoroughly enjoy- able book in every way.
