ISSUE 3_7 — 1958 a degree I believe you would al- ways regret it — and your wife might feel responsible. in the first chill of separa- tion it was natural that her letters should glow with af, fection and longing. Later she felt that you well know how much she loves you, and repi- talon was unnecessary; also, she believed you would be ine terested in what she aecom- plishes at home and, at busi- ness. She is painting a picture of her little problem and the way she spends hey time be- cause she believes that follow- ing her routine will keep you close to her, In your replies, comment on all she tells you to prove how engrossed, you are in everything she does, To me her letters seem natural a n d illuminating, as coming from one partner to the other. Repeat often how much you love her, how lonely you grow; remind her she is your in- spiration, and the only thing that sustains you is anticipat- ing the day that starts a nor- mal life together, It is unfor- tunate that you have to be apart, but it is the man who must follow his bent while his woman waits. * Dispel your fears, and trust * her. * It would be fins if you can * arrange for her to spend a * weekend with you soon; it * would bring you both a lift; • and help re-establish your con- * fidence in her. As for her, it * would give her something to * look forward to, and lovely * memories to take home that * will carry her ,through until * you are together again for the * rest of your lives. WELCOME NEW BEAU? "Dear Anfie Hirst: For nearly eight months I dated a man I loved, but six weeks ago he stopped coming at all and never told me why . . . When I do see him he is friendly, and I know he doesn't date anyone else. I believe he is still fond of me, but pride prevents him from dat- ing me. "I'Ve- met another youn man and we have lots of fun together; I think' he is really wonderful. He has told me he lover me, don't think I return it, because I think of my other friend all the time. "What do you think? WONDERING" * You have known this second * man too short a time to be • sure how you feel, so tell * him so — but keep on see- * ing him. Whether ldve comes 4' or not, hiss attentions are wel- * come, and the fact that he * cares for you is in itself corn- * forting. * Don't be so sure that the * young man you loved is still * fond of you; if he were, be * wouldn't let pride keep him * away. His leaving with no ex- * planation was crude and cruel; * it indicates a lack of stability 4. which you will be wise to re- * cognize. * If he should call you, say * you have a date, If you take * him back, I am afraid you will * only be hurt again. * Separation from the one you love is hard, to endure.

Even Dingolfingla main claim to fame sounds as though it came straight cUt of the comic strips. It's an item called the Goggomobil a $750 miniature, twoedeor car which has been likened various- ly to a turtle, beetle, and moving greenhouse, and whose rear- mounted two --, cylinder engine delivers up to. 70 miles per gal- en of gas, ."How many drops?" is a favorite German station ata. tendants' joke whenever a ,Gog, siornaleil scoots up to the pump. But the Goggomobil is no longer a laughing matter to old- line german auto-makers who have watched it capture the lion's share (55 per cent) of the .Ger- man minicar market in three short years. There are already 155,000 of the peppy vehicles cm the road. They're currently being sold at a 55,000 a year clip. And last week, the Dingo, fing plant started up a new as• sembly line to boost its capacity from. 250 to 325 daily —..ell.of it epoken for months in advance. Owner, manager, and chief de, cigner of the Goggomobil plant is stocky, autocratic, 68-year- old Hans Glas who admits he owes a good deal of his $50 mil- lion enterprise to rain and to Detroit, Six years back, snug in his Cadillac, Glas was returning from the Munich Oktoberfest in a tor- rential rainstorm and passed ecores of soaked motor-scooter riders huddled under Autobahn overpasses. Many of the scoot- ers were made by his own com a pany. He told his son Andreas; CAN YOU SEE? — Paris hats hit a new low 'with this drooping model. The "Transvaal" is an olive g .een cloche decorated with an apple and four leaves. The. maker says it gives the wearer a "mystery woman" look. "We are going to put a roof over their heads. Tomorrow morning, call in all the designers and foremen. Work will start imme- diately." It took Glas three years to de- velop a sufficiently cheap and rugged auto, bua hardly any time at all to decide to name it after his grandson's nickname, Goggo. "For me," Glas says, "the base of all motorization in the vast `underdeveloped areas' is still the vehicle which is built on the 'ideas which made Ford's Model- T such a success: Simple, rugged, and inexpensive to produce. Even the Volkswagen," Glas adds in a statement certain to bring outcries from owners of those beetle-shaped cars, "is already far too complex an automobile." Glas picked up this Ford phil- osophy right at the source, The eleventh of eighteen children, Glas left home during his teens because the family farm-tool company couldn't absorb hitn He went to Work for farm-equip- ment maker Massey - Harris in merlin, transferred to Toronto; when World War I broke out he fled to- the neutral United States. Eventually, he went to work foe Ford as a clerk before winding tip as production manager for the Indian Motorcycle Co. at. Springfield, Mass. By the time he was called home to save the failing family business in 1924 (he got back into the black in nine years), Glas was a fervent convert to the, idea of cheap, rugged transpor- tation. "Without what 'T picked tip in the States," he admits, "there Would be no Goggomobil today." —From NEWSWEETC. Modern Etiquette by Roberta. Lee 0.

High for to- day, 65, Isn't that wonderful? It really makes you feel like liv- ing. Of course, some people like the heat — but just see what it has done to the gardens. Nothing is growing the way it should neither crops, flowers, fruits nor vegetables. If only the condition were local it wouldn't be so bad but wherever you go draught conditions seem much the same. Last week we spent the most of one day on a farm near Hespeler and everything there was as-dry as tinder They had been threshing the day before su we found the farmer and his son busy baling straw. Partner undertook to give them a hand— forking straw into the baler— and it wasn't long before he had blisters on both hands. He was most embarrassed. To think he had got so soft! It was really TICI<LY HEAT — Lovely Ruth Platter has found a do-it-your- self method 'of beating the heat, as she splashes herself tooling- ly with the aid of a garden hose, And if that doesn't work, she's not far from the famous beach at Alif-ntic City. quite a surprise because he has been doing heavy work at home for a number of weeks working with stone, But I suppose hand= ling a fork for an hour or two is a little different. We have had grandson David here for the past week — that was one reason why we visited at the farm just mentioned. Nothing pleases David so much as being among all the animals and machinery. There was also Terry, a little boy about nine, who took David under his wing while he fed and watered the chickens and tried to lug straw bundles out of the way of the baler. Before we came away the 'teen-age son sang and play- ed for us with his guitar. I told him he was doing fine but not to start growing sideburns. He must be good because he won a first and .a second prize at the Hamilton Music Festival just recently. And then what do you think happened? I had the uncanny experience of hearing my own voice — played back on a tape- recorder. If you ever get the chance to try the same thing don't miss it. Not only is it fun but it's most revealing, After the brief recording was over I ex- claimed in surprise — "So that's what I sound like! Now I know why people always guess so quickly that I originally came from England." It was some- thing I could never understand before. I don't think anyone really knows what his or her voice sounds like. I think the tape-recorder is a wonderful in- vention you can have lots of fun with it too. One night our friends had a card party. During the evening they set the machine behind a curtain and had it in operation for about ten minutes —unbeknown to the visitors, of course. Then they played it back and what a let of fun it created. Just so long as it is used for fun and educational purposes that is fine. It can also create a lot of mischief if its use is abused, It can be a worse and more despicable sin than eaves- dropping. Coming home that same day we stopped at Bob and Joy's for supper and then we all Went up to Ginger Farni to have a look around the old place. Re- member how often I Used to speak of the giant cotton-tailed poplar right on the front lawn. We loved that tree. For years it had shaded the di 0 ti s e for descendents of the original Mae- Nab pioneers who homesteaded theproperty in 1818, Several times Partner's brother had said we ought to' cut the tree doigh bilt to us' that would have been deaecretion. Twiee in ate time the tree was struck by lightning. It happened again last Week dins-, ing a severe storm.

Beauty exp.erts point out,, however, that women. do not always realize that a change of make-up eheuld be made when the hair color is changed, The owner of .a chain, of cos- metic shops, well known through- out the United States, .offers the following advice: Light blondes usually should, concentrate on the warmer pink tones in base and powder, with pink or peach for lip rouge. Golden blondes need copper un, dertonee in base and powder and softer rouge tones, with bright lipstick to avoid a drab For women with chestnut or medium brown hair, shades from rose to cream beige are recommended, while darker brown hair can be highlighted by the use of vivid clear red lipstick and a rose base, Russet. and orange go well, too, with brown. hair. Women with jet black hair have a choice of vibrant reds and orange, and, for a cooler effect, look well also in lighter shades. The redhead should avoid pink and blue-reds. Creamy beige and orange shades are most compli- mentary to her; while .gleaming bronze hair combined with clear skin is set off by cream beige base and powder used with orange or pink-blue undertones in lip rouge. This expert advises a face powder one to three shades lighter than the skin tone, with darker poWder to be used under evening lights, with a vivid lip- stick. But for sallow skin, a pinkish base is always more appropriate, Enlargng School Was Cheaper Then The old saying, "Where there's a will there's a way," I believe should be changed to "Where there's a good will there's a good way." The education of these little Negro children was a good thing and surely there must be a good way to bring it about.. The board, after much urging, finally promised to pay a salary of $20 a month for an additional teacher, provided the peopte themselves would add another room to the recently built cabin that we had left because it would not accommodate all the children. The board, however, did not oblige us to wait for the teacher until the new schoolhouse could be made ready, so Miss Kennan arrived while we .were still in the church. She taught the younger boys and girls at one end of the room while I taught the older ones at the other. At- ter we had gotten the school organized and graded we •would, to a certain extent, alternate our classes so that she would have an opportunity to come into con- tact with the larger girls and moved. If the tree crashed dur- ing a storm part of it would de- finitely fall on the main roof of the house. There isn't very much road work going on at the farm right now. Grading and ditching has been completed, ready for gra- velling. We were able to drive right over the new road (401) to the next concession, Prob- ably we were not supposed to but it was the only way to find out what had been done on the old farm. Such changes ... years ago we wouldn't have believed it possible. Well, I can hear a great con- versation going on out on the front doorstep. David and some of our little neighbours are playing. The garden lounge is a boat and all around them is water. "Dry Water" — so there is no fear of their getting wet. What a pity we can't retain our vivid ,childhood imaginations on through the years. Some of us do, of course, but usually at the expense of being thought "queer," And yet it is from vivid imaginations that great inven- tions are born, Well, I am glad the children's present imagination period has lasted long enough for me to get this typing done, NOW I trittst see about dinner. talk tathein of the need for pure. womanhood and clean living.

Besides this trading hi let some of our people work al the -mill after their regular hours, and paid them in lumber for the new schoolroom. Some people gathered "shoemake" that grew abundantly in our neighborhood and the juice of which was used for tanning leather. After this weed had been bagged, the gen- eral store would exchange it for such things as nails and window- panes. In addition to this, we gave entertainments and solicit- ed contributions from one nickel up. But there was not much. up.. When everything necessary had been gathered together hired. a carpenter, advancing the money for his pay out of my salary. The school was closed se that I could devote all my time. to helping him with the build- ing, and in just three weeks we had it far enough along so that we could move in. We now re- joiced in a two-room schoolhouse not very artistic perhaps but, much better than Old Poplars, To make it ready for school use the carpenter built some pine- board seats and .desks. This com- pleted, the fathers and. mothers who had taken such an active. part in its creation assembled for the dedication. Such a great time as they had in setting apart this new self-supplied school for their children! Their faces shone with gratification and happiness.
