"'Pear Anise Hirst: have net
known six months' happiness
since I married nine years ago.
My husband drank heavily and
consistently, and he has gone
out with other women when-
ever he liked „ Lest fall we
finally separated — and I am
more miserable everyday, I
won't admit to myself that I
want him back, but my life is
so meaningless that I nearly die.
I have a young son I am very
proud of, but I almost go crazy
with loneliness,
"I, never had any real plea-
sure. I married to escape from
parents who were always quar-
reling. My husband never took
me anywhere after the first two
months of our marriage. There
was, never a more disillusioned
bride!
"I have tried to live a good
life, but I am certainly stymied
now. Whatever am I to do?

Q. Is it .really considered cop,
rect to accept a second helping
of food when your hostess offers
it to yob, or is this a sign of
greediness?
A, One may certainly accept,
a second helping if one wishes.
It is a compliment• to the hos-
tess' cookery to do so, However,
if you don't care for a second
helping, you may say, "No,
thank you.'
Q. Is it considered really prop-.
er now for a woman to "repair"
any of her makeup in public?
A, Sometimes at. the end of a,
meal in a public eating place
this is necessary, and it is quite
all right for a woman to make
light use of powder and lip-
stick.
Q. When a gild breaks an en-
gagement which has already
been announced, how can she
inform those of her friends who
live out of town and might not
othes-Wise learn of what has
happened?
A. She can write brief; infor-
mal notes to them.

rible scenes and be thankful

My best prescription
Live ene day at a time, As,
evening comes on, say, "Well,
I got through today all right.
I'll not let tomorrow frighten
me," Fill every waking hour
with strenuous aetivities—your
little son, your home, your
church and your friends. And
pray for strength to rise above
these moods that attack ,you;
they weaken your self-control
and can make you physically
ill. You have ,too much on your
mind now to take that risk.
haven't you?
I wish I could honestly en-
courage you to believe your
husband will change, but such
a miracle seems unlikely. He
is as he is. Ever since you
married he lias mistreated you
and betrayed you, and his
family history does not .hold
out any hope that he will
ever be a man you could rely
on.
Live in and for this fine boy
you have, and console yourself
with the assurance that as he
grows up he Will recompense
you with increasing apprecia-
tion and affection,
You have my deep, sym-
pathy.

How's That Again?
When the Subliminal Projec-
tion Co.; Inc, announced last
fall' that it had perfected a de-
vice for inserting unnoticeable
1/3,000-of-a-second, commercials
'in movies and TV shows, reac-
tions ranged from cries of "foul
and unfair" to chortles of, glee
from parties who saw the end
of intrusive TV commercials. The
major U.S. TV networks piously
declared they had no intention
of using the devilish new inven-
tion.
Last month, the first public
test of subliminal communication
was broadcast by the staid Cane-
d i an Broadcasting Co.'s essay-
interview TV show''Close-Up."
Viewers from coast to' coast were
told that a secret subliminal mes-
sage would be flashed on the
screen'240 times in half an hour.
They were asked to report their
impressions. ,
This week, CBC,revealed that
the message had been: "Tele-
phone now.". They reported that
a large number of people had
telephoned in, but most of the
callers just wanted to know what
the message was. Most. of • the
-callers thought the message had
to •do with thirst. One man said
he got the :message: "Change
channels."
James Vicary, inventor' and
president of Subliminal Projec-
tion Co., Inc., professed to', be
encouraged by the equivocal re
.results. "The less •it seems to
'work,.' he said, "the *jell to
,market it." — From NewsWeek.

morning quite early. He had an
awful drive. A mixture of rain
and snow. It took an hour and
a half each way to make the

is all behind us as I don't think
I will need to make another trip.
But now, in lighter vein, I
have another matter to report.
Ditto is back with us again, as
'of` eight days ago. Remember

COME back; she was BROUGHT
.back! So now what? I,had esked
the school children 'near here
to watch for her — and .they
.really went hunting. ,After three ...
days away , two little !boys
brought her home ',eyes

They found her in a gull,!' over
at the gOlf course. It wai'seyeral
days before I had her anything
• like normal. Now she is as play-
ful as ever, But I am still won-
dering how many of her :nine
lives went overboard. Even, at
that we are lucky. Our nearest
neighbour found their little• kit,
ten drowned 'in the basement -- •

are thinking ,,of getting a 'pike
of wire metting to cover our
sump pump. It looks as if it
were jest inviting trouble.

out here -- but at least it's good

In Palestine, Places and towns
that are frequently mentioned in
the ' Bible are being brought
back once more into the light
of day. They look exactly es the
Bible describes them and lie
exactly where the Bible locates
them. On ancient inscriptions
and monuments scholars en-.
counter more and more charac-
ters from. Old and New Testa-
ments. Contemporary reliefs de-
pict people whom we have hith-
erto known only by name. Their
features, their clothes, their ar-
mor take shape before our eyes,
As they have done to Nineveh
and Nimrod—old-time Calah—
or to Ashur and Thebes, which
the prophets called No-Amon,
the scholars have also awakened
from its ancient slumber the
notorious Babel of Biblical story
with its legendary tower. In the
Nile Delta archaeologists have
found the cities of Pithom and
Raamses, where the resentful
Hebrews toiled as slaves. They
have laid bare strata that tell of
the flames and destruction 'that
accompanied the children of
Israel on their conquering march
into Canaan. In Gibeah they
found Saul's mountain strong-
hold, the walls of which once
echoed to the strains of David's
harp. At Megiddo they came
upon the vast stables of King
Solomon, who had "12,000 horse-
men."
From the world of the New
Testament reappeared the pala-
tial edifices of King Herod. In
the heart of Old Jerusalem the
Pavement was discovered where
Jesus stood before Pilate, as is
mentioned in Ste John's gospel.
Assyriologists deciphered on, the
astronomical tables of the Bab-
ylonians the exact dates on
which the Star 'of Bethlehem
was observed.
These breathtaking discover-
ies, whose significance im-
possible to grasp all• at once,
make it necessary for us to re-
vise our 'views about the Bible.
Many events that previously.
'passed for pious tales must now
be. judged to be historical. Often
results of „investigation corre-
spond' in -detail with the' Bibli-
cal ' narratives. They not only
confirm but also ;,illumine the
historical situations.,:ont of which
the Old TestamenV•and the gos-
pels grew.

ple of Israel' are, Woven, into a

"MUST I KISS?"
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 15,
a n d m y problem ' is shyness.
()these girls my age (particularly
my best friend) are going out
on dates and having good times.
I am okay when I'm with a lot
of kids, but just the idea. of a
single date (or even a double)
scares me to death.
"I don't mind the .date too
much, it is just the thought of
kissing the boy that bothers me.
Even if I like him, I'm still
frightened.
, "I want to overcome this. How
.! can C."
* Don't try to. You have eonle.-
* thing precious to offer,. your
* dates, and that is good, eleae
* friendliness. If you khew how
* nice boys appreciate kit!
* Where did you get the—idea-
* that kissing is all there-is to
* date? Girls who ilkiss any
4. 'boy promiscuously (especially
a on the first date) are legion.
* It isegirls like you, wo shrink
* from physical contact, that
* keel)! She boys :leyieSTing that
a're really people, worth
* cultivating as good friends and
* not merely an outlet! for their
* passion. They can get kisses• *
anywhere — but not from you,
* because you are DIEFERBNT.
* So often boys' write me that
* they try out a new girl be-
* cause she gives theni the idea
* that she expects them to. "It
* isn't that we're crazy in. love,
* Anne' Hirst,- but they think
*_we're a flat tire if we don't."
* Stay as you are. You can
* establish a different pattern
* for dates. You treat a leoy like
* a real person, so he relaxes
* With you and thinks you are
* swell. This is the foundation
* on which solid friendships are
built. When all those other
* girls grow blase and boring,
* you will still be as fresh as
* a daisy, ready for your fleet
* romance.
* Live up to your inclinations,
* and let the female wolves
cheapen themselves if they
can I live through' an-
other day?" If this fear tortures'
you, live just for today, and
know that as you grtrir in spiri-

It came 'Came at last . . . our share
of snow and winter storms. And
it was our first experience of
what sinew can do to a residential
district. And, it was plenty. It
was a' Saturday arid apparently
the week-end shopping still had
to be done. One by one cars
backed out of driveways on to
the road, and in most cases that's
where the fun began. Cars, sleW-,
ed across the road blocking
through traffic. Our next-door
neighbour was among them. It
took him about forty minutes to
dig' himself out — and then he
drove the car back into the
garage and :left it" there: The
doctor was the first to work on
his' driveway — naturally he
,had to make sure, of getting out.
- After he got through` two neigh-
bour 'Ears 'got stuck and he was
out helping• to dig tharesouteAnsl
what did we do?. We stayed put.
I took stock "of' cupboardanC1
"`frig" -and decided we could lait
out for two. pr three days if we
had to — Partner isn't able to
do too much digging. However,
, as soon • as ..the -storm had died
down e. ebit Partner was busy
with 'the shovel '— digging out
the driveWay, just in case.. He
had just finished when Bob
came along. An hour earlier he
would have been offered the
business end of a shovel.
Of course all I knew abOut
the storm was what I could see
from the windows. One thing I
noticed — yOu could almost 'tell
who was 'friendly with whom
along the road! For instance
when A's car got stuck B. went
to his assistance but when C.
was in a similar predicament he
was left to dig himself out! D.
managed to get out without too
much trouble but as soon as he
was gone Mrs. D. was out shov-
elling the driveway for his re-
, turn. The snowplough came
through' about nine o'clock so
by Sunday morning there was
h good snow-cleared road, shov-
elled driveways and., I don't
doubt, a tot of aching muscles.
