I can un- derstand that because his family are looked down on by our neighbors and relatives. Some of his relations are in the 'pen,' and others drink. In other words, my mother says they are trash, "This boy isn't like them at all, He is 17, and doesn't drink nor use foul language. He is one of the sweetest boys I know. "Two months ago my mother found I was slipping out and meeting him. She was as sweet as she could be, but she told me it just wouldn't work out. She is afraid he will inherit his fam- ily's habits and I would be drag- ged down by being seen with him. "Is she right? I still love him, and I can't date anyone else.

My wife and I have re- ceived an engraved card from distant relatives, announcing their golden wedding anniver- sary What obligation does this impose upon us? A. Your only real obligation is to send them a message of congratulations and good wishes. Q. Is it still considered proper for a man to ask permission to smoke when he is with a group of women who he knows do not smoke? A. This is still the courteous and thoughtful thing to do Was there ever such a won- derful fall? The autumn leaves are gorgeous, staying on the trees much longer than usual because of the warm, sunlit days. If ever there was a time for getting out to see the coun- try it is now. Anyway, that is how we felt about it yesterday as. We seized what we thought might be our last chance this • year for going to the cottage. Probably other folk had the same idea as there was plenty of traffic on the roads. The cot- tage, of course, was pretty chilly but a quick fire soon had the place feeling comfortable—that and a good snack lunch with plenty of hot tea and coffee, and we were soon quite happy. Af- ter that I did the dishes and kept an eye on sleeping Jerry while the rest of the family took the boat out on the lake, We sort of take things in turn.• Last time Partner stayed home and I went for the boat tide. Before it was time to come home the boys and I went for a walk. Coming back the sun was setting behind the group of islands bordering the lake. The reflection of sunset and trees in the water was perfect—a pic- ture I shall see in my mind's eye for some time to come. From our walk I brought back a few seedling evergreens to plant here at home. Incidental- ly I have been warned that if all the trees grow that I want, planeed we shall soon have a forest, And I have not finished yet. I won't be satisfied until we have a few silver bitch.

Having children., around Is more important to us than a spotless house. We only wish we still had a 'hundred acres. to turn them loose in — plus cows, chickens And machinery to in- terest them. But at least we. have Taffy and Ditto — and all the children love them both, We were up to .Ginger Farm. the other day and found road, work -more or. .less at a stand. still in that district, 'Apptifent e' 1y the Department of Highways works in sections 4, grading, paving and building over-passes on new roads but leaving con- necting cloverleaves to the last, The old house looked much the same, The, big poplar tree that has been.three times struck by lightning has not , yet been cut down..

Eight ton was the most we ever used. But it isn't always heaven living on a farm not with all the new worries farmers have to contend with these days, We just received a letter from our Shelbourne- friends saying their neighbour just across the road has lost two - cows with rabies. Apparently rabies was not even suspected until after the cows had died. Now the farmer and his . wife are both getting rabies shots and find the after effects quite painful. AnOthet farmer had a horse bitten by a rabid fox.. Subsequently the horse- bit the farmer so now the horse is • dead and the farmer in hospie tal. Rabies was something we didn't even think about when we were farming. Any casual- ties we had.: were the result of bloating, accidents or natural causes. We certainly hope the present rabies outbreak will - soon be under control. I can't imagine anything more frighten- ing —; especially `to people liv- ing in more or' less isolated dis- tricts. Losing livestock is bad enough but fear of infection must be a nightmare', • Fate Of Explorer Solved At Last? Has the riddle of what hap- pened to Colonel Percy Fawcett, whose disappearance in the jungles of Brazil's Matto Grosso has kept the world guessing for 33 years, been solved at last? He was killed by one of seven aborigirtil 'tribes, according to reports of a British Universities expedition which recently ar- rived at Santiago, Chile. Mem- bers of the expedition visited Xingu Riier, where Cpl. Fawe 'nett, his son Jack and an Ameri- can disappeared in 1925. They met seven tribes among whom, they said, there is unanimous consensus of opinion that one of them was responsible for the "white man's" death. But, no one was 'able or willing to identify the tribe concerned, More legends have accumulat- ed around the name of Col: Fawcett than around that of any other British explorer. It was reported in 1951 that his skeleton had been' found, but investiga- tions revealed no proof that .the bones were his. In the past there have been theories that the explorers were 'murdered or taken prisoner by Indians; that they died of fever or' starvation, and that they found the mEl Dorado" civiliza- tion they were seeking — and stayed there. One .of the seven Indian tribes which spOke to the recent ex- pedition about the Fawcett party was the little-known Chavantes, .a tribe which has only occasion- ally come into contact with civi- lization, The Chavantes are a strong, vvellfed people who live on roots, birds and e v e n monkeys. Safer In The Operating Room To wim l u (rgo"C)an Am operation ericans in the next year, news of real significance came from Chicago recently. At the annual, meeting of r gtelloe n s, American ctahlla n C ollege l s u ro-f Su geone met to report scalpel pro- grees ranging from bones to brains, from eyes to arteries, "Surgery moved With amazing speed in the last year," said Dr. William L, Estes Jr., 73, of Bethlehem, Pa„ the benign, white-haired, retiring president of the ACS. Among the surgical advances cited by Dr, Estes were better heart and artery surgery, successful use of hypothermia (cold anesthesia), better pre- and post-operative patient care, clearer understanding of the body's metabolism, and better surgery in injury. The future of surgery? On turning over the ACS presidency to Dr. Newell W. Phillpot, 56, of Montreal, Bill Estes could foresee the solution of the major problems now standing in the way of successful transplanting of human organs. A significant forward step to- ward this goal was reported at the ACS meeting by Dr. John R. Brooks of Harvard Medical School. Tissue of thyroid glands, protected by the semiporous material, "Millipore", has been transplanted successfully in ani- mals, Dr. Brooks said, Similar- ly protected thyroid tissues showed signs of life six weeks after being transplanted in hum- an beings. Successful skin grafts from mothers to babies which lasted as long as 400 days were describ- ed by Drs, A. Peer and John C. Walker Jr. of Newark, N.J. Be- fore the transplants, the chil- dren get intramuscular injections of the mother's blood. With this grafting technique, the Newark doctors hope to repair youngsters born without ears and noses and children who have been severely burned. Eventual- ly, they expect to use this graft method in transplanting organs, such as kidneys and thyroid glands. .In another experiment, Dr. Carlos Martinez and associates of the University of Minnesota have successfully transplanted skin and hormone tissues in lab animals by building up toler- ance to the grafts with spleen- cell injections, not later than 24 hours after birth. Later, the same animals receive — and hold —skin tissues, ovaries, and pi. tuitary glands, transplanted from the same adult animals which earlier donated the spleen. A new heart robot that pumps ' blood' for patients undergoing heart surgery was reported by Dr. Gumersindo Blanco of Phil- adelphia. Unlike other mechan- ical hearts, this one makes use of the patient's own lungs, there- by eliminating the 'danger of deadly air bubbles which can occur when an artificial-lung machine governs the blood flow for a human being. A small "first aid" version of the classic heart-lung machine that can be put into use in a few minutes • for heart-stoppage cases was described"'by a group SALLY'S SALLIES 'Prother's been studying in- ternational finance—the Left Bank in Paris, you know."
