After two years of Misery she took a position, largely I think to take her mind off her troubles, A married man employed her, and soon be- , gall shooting the same old line; His wife didn't love him enough, but how he could reward a girl who did! He entertained my friend elaborately, enticed her into a new world of lavish liv- ing, and finally promised he'd get a divorce if she would. "It was .all settled fast. They got married, and it didn't last three years. He lived his own life and hers, too, They went only where he wanted to go, and only his old rfriends were wel- come in their, home; he wouldn't even receive her family. All too soon he was dating other girls. "She divorced him, and got another job. "Her first husband married a sweet girl; he stopped drinking, and they already have two babies. "My friend feels like her life is over. She is a miserable crea- ture, and already looks like an old woman.

I didn't blame her — the nearest neigh- bour was almost a mile away. Another place, just as nice, 'was' quite close to a barn. We nev- er had an odour from our barn that was equal to what met us on that trip. Too bad -- the view ,was out of this world. We were very taken with another house — 'good location, wonder- ful landscaping but the house needed a new heating system, , storms and screens , and new flooring in the kitchen. None of these "things was taken, into consideration on the price. So we passed that one up. We_ were almost 'in despair. AND THEN WE, FOUND IT!

Vardohns, with ramparts in the Lefthanders Are Handy People Today, there are more left- handed people than there were thirty years 'ago. Exactly why this is so is a mystery, but in 1927 about six per cent. of people were left-handed. Now the pro- portion is nearly' ten: per cent. What causes left-handedness? It is concerned with brain devel- opment, according to a doctor. In the right-hander the left side of the brain is bigger, and in the left-hander the right side. Marshal Foch signed the first world war armistice with the left hand; Lord Baden-powell, who founded the Boy Scout movement, was left - handed; Leonardo da Vinci painted his masterpieces with his left hand. Whether you are right- or left-handed is largely a matter of heredity, according to recent research into the subject, but if necessary a person can learn to use his left hand as expertly as his right.

ISSUE I9 — 1957 "It says.in the paper that the average woman has a vocabu- lary of only 500 words," said a wife.

We should indeed be ungrateful to - a merciful Providence if we ut- tered one word of complaint — especially as neither of us is physically able to keep up with the hard work necessary in farming. And now, if you are interest- ed at all .'you will be curious about' where we are going. Be- lieve me, that has been quite a problem. For years we had our eye on one particular cor- ner of the farm where we in- tended -to build when the time came to retire. Highway re- quirements queered that idea, east, west, north and south, So we started house-hunting— from Guelph to Oakville and across country. We knew what we wanted — a newish house, not too small, near a bus route, with a large lot — but definite- ly not in a sub-division. Sounds easy, doesn't it? It wasn't. We looked at plenty of nice houses, but the houses we liked were always in the wrong places. Big houses on small lots or small houses on big lots, with excess acreage that was too big for hand-tools and too small for a tractor — and couldn't be sold because of zoning restric- tions.

On the Other four days, however, Vardo is by- passed and you cross the mouth of that wide fjord directly to its south-edge and enter a tributary indentation named Bok Fjord. But whatever the day, you here complete this Arctic marathon and arrive at circumnaviga- tion's end: Kirkenes. . With mines running three shifts and restaurants open day and night, Kirkenes is a most "un-Norwegian" town; indeed, it can be described as an Arctic gold-rush town, although, with ranch .more cultured life and manners! Moreover, the country- side inland along the Pasvik Val- ley presents an astonishingly fer- tile contrast 'to the barren coast: lush green meadows, thriving crops and birch forests that seem to belong to southwest N'orway.

Well, I may as well come' out in the open and tell you', what you' have probably alHady guessed. We are on the Move! At least we shall be in, less than two weeks. This old homestead that has been farmed almost continu- ously since 1822 now belongs to the Department of Highways. What will happen to it Abw is anyone's guess. Of courS*4 we know, to a certain extent. We know where the states are; where the cloverleaf will: be and how close the hous"e, will be to the road. We could have kept the house and part Of the land but we would have 'been only 125' from the highway. Too close. In fact it was our closeness to the road that, was the deciding factor last SePtem- ber when we came to ,'terms with the Deaprtment. And let me say this: There are many complaints about the Depart- ment — they don't pay enough; they take your land whetlier or not you want to sell; they_ cut down trees, break fences; walk through your farm when they feel like it. We haven't any complaint on any of u those scores. All we objected tp was the dangerously hidden iron stakes, The surveyors have al- ways been most courteous 'even if they do come in when they feel like it. The amount .of de- struction has been kept to a minimum. As for the fit-Ian- cial settlement — we have been well satisfied.

People expect us to feel badly at leaving the farm. They look surprised when they 'find we are not. If we were selling to another farmer that would be a different matter. If it were still a farm we would want' of be here ,ourselves — not see :sorriOne else plowing our fields;, some other farrner'a cows in our barn; some other family in our house. We wouldn't like it at all. But the way things are now it would be no p leasure to stay in the house nd watch bulldozers rooting out trees and dirt-movers tear- ing up the fields. It would. be like Watching a slow death — watching living, productive fields slowly turned into con erete and then eventually see hundieds of cars every hour speeding by where once cows had peacefully grazed.
