FATIMA OV TIJAVC. -Don Anne Hirst: I am 28, and for three ,v have been a lonely widower, My three children are aged four to nine. Recently I met a girl of 16, and we have fallen in loess.- Her parents are objecting stron ty„ and I am not surprised-they think her too young to under- stand what love means, and tea inexperienced to take on the responsibilities of my house the children.. But aren't there exceptions to rules? This girl is as mature es ethers I've knows, who were 21; she is exceptional- ly well-balanced, and I tell you honestly that this conclusion not wishful thinking. "I have explained to them ail that my housekeeper (a friend of my former wife) has taken entire charge of the children and housekeeping for two years. The girl I love would have no re- sponsibilities unless she wants them, and as her husband I would cherish and protect her. My reputation is solid, and I am well off. • "What • can I do to convince these nice people that their daughter would be happy with me? ONE 'LONELY.

Lately he has been dat- ing another girl more often, though, and recently he gave her a diamond. But he tells me he isn't going to marry her! "I've known him for two years and we have had so much. fun together. I hear he is always fussing with her . .. yet he tells my friends he loves me, but all he has told me is that he is 'fond of me'. I am very confused. "Since she is wearing his ring, I guess I'm crazy to ask your opinion—but what is it? - WONDERING" e When a girl wears a diamond * it is taken for granted she is 4' engaged to the boy who gave * it, If he dates anyone else, * everyone feels he is double- * crossing his fiancee and it re- * fleets no credit on him nor on * the girl he dates; she appears * to be so anxious for a beau * that she will go out with any- * one who asks hen e This girl evidently expects e to marry the boy, so why don't you realize what unpleasant * gossip you are inviting? I do * not think you would he flat- * tared to know what his friends * (perhaps yours, too) are say- * ing. He wants to eat his cake * and have it; but so long as his * engagement is accepted, he * owes his complete loyalty to * the girl he proposed to. • Better not see him at, all.

Of Wonders , The launching -of Sputnik 11 with its dog passenger has. caused many Amerieane ta won- der how a country in which the average person has few of the things we consider necesities could achieve this evientifie mars History will show that many countries ruled by dictators have. achieved projects which aston- ished the rest of the world. The ancient world had its seven won- ders„ including the Pyramids of Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Hall- eaenessee, the Colossus at Rhodes end the Pharos (lighthouse) of Alexandria, These were built mainly with slave labor in countries which were under a small group of the elite as is Soviet Russia today. Countries which, like our own, are ruled by the will of the ma- jority demand that the day-to- day needs of the people be served first. Countries 'like the Soviet Union and the countries which produced the seven won- ders of the ancient world, put the wises of the elite class of dicta- tors ahead of the needs of the majority. We give the average person every opportunity to advance himself, economically as well as spiritually. The present regime in Russia teaches that the indi- vidual exists only to serve the whole, as the ant exists to• serve the anthill. e Under their dictatorship, the Russians can direct their re- sources towards a few selected FEATHERED FINERY — Painstak- ing work of many months on the part of Mrs. Ruby Richard- son resulted in this tiny sample of glamor clothing for dolls.

They can, for instance, dictate what courses students will take and what occupations they enter. Here a student is free to choose his training and his life work. So the Russians are able to surpass us in the training of scientists to produce modern marvels like r Sputniks; The production of modern wonders does not necessarily ad- vance the happiness and well- being of a people any more than the production of the seven won- ders of the ancient world pro- moted the happiness and well- being of the people who were kept in poverty in order to fin- ance the production of those wonders. We must convince the world that it is better to maintain a so- ciety of free individuals than to produce a regimented society which dictators can direct the. energies of the people into tee production of Sputniks.

NOT PAM Sitting at home-, having a quiet evening, were two spinster she terse Suddenly one looked uo from the paper the was ecadirie and commented: "There's ae. article here telling of the death of a woman's third • husband. She's had all of them eremated." "Isn't that life for you?" said the other. "Scene ef.teeenietivcset get one husband, while Where have hu'henl:, fn traele" on't ever under-estimate the power of a baby! You thought. I vas going to say "woman" didn't you? Well, a woman is something to be reckoned with too — but the rower of a woman is as nothing compared with the power of a baby. One small infant can throw a monkey- wrench as effectively as a plum- ber. I am finding that out more and more. Frew now on when I make any plans I shall quali- fy them by saying — "Unless a baby, either male or female, shall interfere with me plans", Events, past, present and future, bear me out. I have already told you about having grandson Eddie here for just over a month; how we postponed so many things "un- til-after. Eddie had gone home". After Eddie, bless his mischiev- our little soul, finally went home, we felt free to come and go as we pleased. We could say yes or no to any invitation — and as you know, I went to the W.I. Convention. The follow- ing Wednesday I had promised to be at our local branch meet- ing to hear the delegate give her report. But that's where the first baby interruption came in. A neighbour received a sudden emergency call to a Toronto hos- pital . would I look after her baby until she returned. Well, her mission was greater than mine so I baby--sat until four o'clock. I.tools a quick run down to the Hall afterwards and heard the last five minutes of the dele- gate's report and also presented my apologies, That same right Joy phoned — would I look after Ross while she was at rho hairdresser's. Without a second thought I agreed. Afterwards I remember- ed I had promised to take some ladies to a church meeting -- W.A. — next day. It was a luncheon meeting and I expected to be back by three so Partner thought he could fill in for ae hour. He did! •Luckily I wasn't late In fact I came in a little ahead of time. Partner was walk- ing the floor with Rees and -had' been for fifteen minutes. If he sat down or stopped walking' Ross raised his voice. I took over and for an hour the little rascal was a perfect lamb, played on the floor as contented as could be. When he seemed •tired I put him in his cot and off he went to steep. I think the real trouble was that Ross doesn't see too much of his father and so isn't used to being handled by a man. However Partner Survived and I'm glad I went to that meeting because the timing was a little Unusual. Instead of meeting at two o'clock the members agreed to meet at noon, each taking her own lunch, the hostess providing lea and coffee By this rnean.4 the meeting closed at two-tliirt,r and the members were able to get home before there was much. heavy traffic and while it wee still light. I tlioteght it was are len. to pas:: along -- fins, finniN..t1 to the W.X. t %,•% 3 Uri; alwa anxious to get home before chore time. Too often women stay away from meetings because they are afraid of getting home late, And now back to more baby entanglements. Partner has had a suitcase packed for two weeks xeady for a visit to Horning's Mills. The situation is this: Our friends up north are prospective grandparents. As soon as the ex- pected baby arrives the proud father is taking Partner up north to stay with grandfather and on the return trip bringing grandma back to look after his other two children until after the mother and new baby have returned from, the hospital. I hope I've made that clear! However, the baby was two weeks late in arriving so three families were' definitely on -edge, none- being able to make any definite plans to de anything or go anywhere. So I repeat — never under-esti- mate the power of a baby — born' or unborn. • Tonight Bob and Joy have gone' to the Royal Winter Fair, They would have taken us along too but . . well, somebody had to stay home and baby-sit. Our turn, will come later. If the w e at h e r remains favourable Partner and I hope to have a day at the Fair before he goes north. Incidentally that little trip has been postponed for a few days so grandma can stay longer after the baby gets home. Speaking of farms last Friday Partner and I paid a visit to Ginger. Farm. At least we Went passed it and noticed great eatthe moving machines were at work. It was too muddy to drive in but from what we could see it won't be too long before Ginger Farm as we know it will cease to exist The buildings are still there but after' awhile they will be completely dwarfed by a 27- foot grade that is creeping closer day by day However, next year 11/142dern tzquette set- by Rotierta Lee Q. if for some reason --social imslae.ss — a family has had it name legally ebaoged, luny Mionla friends alai acquaintances he informed of this? • A. The qUickest and simplest way is to mail out formal An- nouneementst "Mc, and Mrs, John .Stoningham announce that by permission of the court they and their children have taken the family name of Stone." Q. Is it proper to name the sec- ond son "junior" for his father, or is this, title always supposed: to be conferred on the oldest son? A. The "junior" in a family need not be the first son, Q. Is it necessary that all. the men stand at a dinner table until ell the women have been veleta? A, Yes. Q. When signing her name to a business letter, must an un- married woman use "Miss" in front of her panic? A. Yes; but the "Miss" should be enclosed in parentheses, as, (Miss) Patricia S, Moore, A mar- ried woman should abide by this rule, too, Q. Shoued a girl discard her engagement ring when her fiance dies? A. She may wear it for so long as she likes. This may be for all her life, or it may be that in time she will fall in love with some- one else and replace it with an- other ring. Q. When a man brings a guest to his home and presents him to his wife, does she make use of the customary acknowledgement, "How do you do"? A. In this instance, it is better if the wife showe a little more cordiality and adds, "I am very glad to see you," or some such similar expression. we shall have a little bit of Ginger Farm at Halfway House — from the spring-flowering bulbs that we brought along with us. But oh dear, there's a big gap between now and spring, isn't there? ISSUE Se — 1957 Weele$ Saw-Thrifty PRINTED PATTERN Jumper with companion blouses — or figure flattering dress.
