HAS= BRIDE OfTlfiNDR.• HER HUSBAND Mel,,VES "Dear Anne Hirst: sly ;bus- baud and I have been separated for the past few Weeks, and We've only been married a sheet time! One day while I was outi, he packed his things and went home. We dated a whole year before we Married, and nolV know I made many mistakes before and after. From what he eve, my greatest offense was tp say at different times that realty need him. "Believe me, I'd rather have bitten my tongue out. I spoke in eager but he denies that, and in.ists I meant it. I am sure he was in love when he left; how could he stop loving me in a few weeks' time? I have begged him to come home, and he flies into a rage. Isle flatly refuses to go to a Juniper - Dress PRINTED PATTERN in such a crusade, believing that it can cut accidents and deaths as much as one third. "Anything that has to do with human be- havior is a moral consideration and quite properly belongs to the churehes," says Kenna. There ought to be a fertile field here, for we have not noticed that persons who have high stan- dards of conduct on most mat- ters apply these standards to automobile driving, Included am- ong those who fail on this score are at least some ministers, who feel that their tight schedules impel them to step on the gas. And there is the Jay "pillar" of the church who quietly tells about having tried out his new car on a straight stretch, getting the needle up to 100 miles an hour. Unfortunatesy, many "solid ci- tizens," including those who are faithful in religious matters, fail to see that religion and morality have anything to do with auto- mobile driving. But religion ought to have a bearing on, every facet of life. It ought to make a difference in how people behave under all circumstances. This should inacie automobile driv- ing and, as we said before, this can have a lot to do with whether thousands live or die. — Oregon Journal .„. . rnareiageseoanaelor • or ism min- . .1 1 am a •high-struna, and tenet's-weal person, but L. love so much and I• de need him. lias le really a very flee persan.

"Dear Anne Hirst: I am very unhappy, for I had to lie about my age and said. I was two years older.

Drive With Care "I don't know what my hus- band likes, but I always buy his perfumes." not exactly welcome. Today they are less of a detriment to the country than the owners of un- occupied land who allow weeds fo flourish and spread all around the neighbourhood. Speaking of weeds, we were up to Ginger Faam earlier in the week. Our previously well- kept farm lane is now little' more than a track through a wilderness of weeds. As for the garden . the less said the better. There are tenant's in the house at present but neutrally they are not doing too much around the place as they never know when the Department of Highways might come along and serve them with a notice to vacate the premises. Work has already started on an overpass at the C.N.R. tracks just back of our old farm. It will be in- teresting to go hack from time to time to see how the work is progressing. Construction work will be easier to look at than a forest of weeds. Well, I thought I was going to get this typing done before young Eddie woke up. But it " was not to be. Either he was less tired or maybe the tapping of the typewriter woke him. Be that as it may he had to he changed, cuddled, given a drink of milk and then put out in his playpen with his toys and a bunch of clothes' pegs. He didn't think too much of the idea until a little neighbour girl came across and started playing with him, Now Partner has come to the rescue so I imagine this column will finally get done and into the mail. How do mothers with two or three young chil- dren ever get their work done? It makes me wonder. And yet I did it too years ago — and farm chores too. Come to think of ,it young mothers accomplish an awful lot of work in their waking hours and yet they seem to take it all in their stride. And I think most of them are quite thankful if there is a gran- nie or Aunt Mary around — they come in pretty useful sometimes! 671-441 )14. 441415 Jumper with companion blouse -- or figure - flattering dress I 'tou'1i love the versatlity of this PRINTED Pattern!

Religion And Auto Driving John T. Kenna of Chicago, di- rector of the new church safety activities division of the National Safety Council, said in Portland recently that motorists ought to; drive as though "God is in the front seat with you." We have ridden with people• who drive that way, only they figure that with Cod on hand, nothing can happen to them no matter what they do. This, of course, is net what Kenna meant, If one senses the presence of Geld, his Manners arid behavier will be different than if Go d is out of mind. Manners and behavior behind automabile wheels have, a lot to do with whether thousands of people live or die every year. Kenna and his division of the NSC are working on the moral approach to safety, "We want people to take their religious con- victions, whether they be Catho- lie, Protestant Or Jew, and apply theist to driving, behelViot at work and even Walking," They are trying to enlist the religious' leadership of the nation YOUskit titkiING! cletorotiVe sprite getting a brush. ri g' frOrti POrie irlieurd Ciffciwa, Orit a looks as• though he's eltig nekled, t-peite is in a thamber of Parliament. bide looked. radiant as she relaxed tteesinst the cushions of the luXurious. hired car which I was to take her to the dwell throe miles distaets But atikiden- ly she gasped and gripped her father' se arm as she noticed the celeste of the chauffetta'S hair It was a viVicl red. •”A red., haired men," she guyed, with terror in het voice. "Red is my stills:Otis' colour. Stop the Carl We mutt -get another driver at, once." • Her father was astounded and annoyed at his daughter's ala, surd prejudice against the driv er's hair. "Don't be silly, my dear," he told her. "You mustn't let let such a little thing bother you OA such an important day in your life. Why it's absolutely a red-letter day," he added, hoping that his little joke would make her smile. "Don't mention red to me," said the girl hysterically. "I hate it!" He then saw that she was really alarmed. Swiftly he arrangements with the astonsh- ed driver to get a substitute., tipping him lavishly for his trouble. With the second driver at the wheel, the bride, still looking very agitated, arrived at the church with her father five minutes late for the ceremony. She has never told her bride- groom the real reason for her unpunctuality. Incredible as it seems in 1957, there are still plenty of people who have unaccountable aver- sions or fads which come to the fore on important occasions in their lives. While a Birmingham business girl was on holiday at Black- pool ssme years ago she met the only man she had ever realty "fallen' for—a young engineering student who was also taking a rest by the sea, Within twee:lays he had pro- posed. Then she said: "How silly, Jack, you haven't yet told me your surname." "It's Green," he replied. "Then I can never marry you, although I love you," she -sigh- ed. "You see, green has always been my unlucky colour and it brought bad luck to my par- ents, who went to live in a green-painted house when they were married. It was broken into by a burglar later on. He. took all their savings - which were hidden in a green tin." He pointed out that thousands of people named Green have plenty of luck in their lives. But the superstitious girl sadly shook her head. ' He offered to have his name changed by deed poll to Grey, White., Brown or any other col- our she preferred if she would alter her mind. She still re- fused to marry him, saying: "Even if you did that, I would still have a mother-in-law and father-in-law named Green." And so the pair parted—and the young man vowed he would never marry anyone else. He has kept his vow, Different, but equally quaint prejudices are harboured by other people and sometimes they lead to equally awkward site nations. In Rome lived a woman who had a peculiar dread of a little statuette of an Egyptian god which her father had given• her as a present when they were on holiday together in Cairo. She used to declare that the statuette was evil and would only bring misfortune. Some years later she was found dead on a lonely island in the fee- brides. "The two things I hate above all others are getting my hair cut and buying a postal order," a famous politician once de- clared, From his tone there was no doubt about the truth of his statement. It seems that the more civil- ized we becomes the more we are afflicted with queen kinds of phobias. A man who won a medal for bravery in the war cowered in his chair and perspired wtih terror when she saw a moth flutter its wings against a win- dow-pane.

The •experta as- se *See the} L.:in be traced tek to some .ttegotten incident of ehildhood That may he so in some instances, but the ex- planation is by no means all- sufficient. It was 'the peculiar fad of a Londoner some years ago that he would have neither a knock- er .nor a bell at his house. "t dislike them," Was his only ex- planation, When he came home late he would blow three times on a shrill whistle to arouse his housekeeper. He never carried a key, believing. that keys were the cause Of endless trouble to. everyone owning one. Today, this column might more properly be called "the joys of being a grandmother". Or may- be I should say grandparents as Partner is having his share too in looking after seventeen- months-old Eddie, who is stay- ing with us awaiting the arrival of a baby sister — we, hope! David, when the time comes, will be going to stay with Aupt Joy and Uncle Bob. We were only too willing to have Eddie here but we were also .a little apprehensive as he had never been away from his mother at all, not even for a day, so we wondered how well he would adjust. However he has accepted, grandma as a fairly good substi- tute for mother and so far we have managed to get along quite well. He is naturally a happy little fellow, reminding us very much of his mother when she was the same age. Of course the house is already looking a bit of a shambles; small toys rolling into unex- pected places, waiting to trip the unwary, The kitchen floor is somewhat patchy where milk has been spilt and hastily wiped up. There are smears and smud- ges on the picture windows and the television screen, Door handles are apt to be a trifle -sticky, all of which are minor details, easily remedied. Just so long as our little fellow stays well, happy and reasonably good we shall be more than satisfied. Saturday was the day he came to stay but before his arrival Partner and I managed to get to Milton Fair. It was a perfect' day and the attendance was good. Apparently there were more entries of every kind than ever before and there was some- thing going on all the time, either on the track or in the judging rings. The Fair was offi- cially opened by Jean Peterson, recently crowned Dairy Queen of Ontario. This capable and attractive young, lady was given a great ovation — which was only natural as she came from a farm at Hornby, just a few miles from Milton. We were very pleased with the demon- stratione and the display of live- stock for which the 4-H Clubs and the Junior Farmers had been responsible. ft is nice to know so many young girls and oys are taking such a keen in- terest in farming activities. We ear and see so much about in- mistrial concerns that at times v.° almost feel as if agriculture taking a back seat. But then see go to the Coliseum, Or the Royal Winter Fait, or maybe no more than our own local fairs and we come away reassured that agriculture is still very much alive, Different, certainly, [corn what it used to be but very much in line with all the recent advances made in science, industry and eorrinterce. And that, of course, is as it should be. Agriculture roust keep pace with the times.. And yet, for those who have a yen for aid- time farming, there- is nothing to stop anyone buying a place m the country and stocking it with a few horses, cows and other livestock, just for the joy of farming — that is, if they can afford it. Panting can be an expensive hobby. A genera- tion ago hobby farmers were
