deceit that I despised him from
that moment on,
"How glad I am that I kept
my head! (I was lonesome, too,
and had grown fond of him,) I

Well, she can have him. I still

MOTHER REJECTS SUITOR
"Dear Anne Hirst:
I am now 18, and want to
marry a boy 23. I've known
him over a year, and I know I
love him — but my mother says
I don't know the first thing about
love.
"My family are Christians, the
boy is not. Soon he will be
discharged from service after
five years there. He takes a
glass of beer occasionally, but
says he will stop if I ask it;
Mother doesn't believe him.
"—Another thing
'
she says he
is too old for me. Do you? Every
time I mention marriage it starts
a quarrel with her, and that I
don't want to have. What do
you think? MARY"
* I think you two should wait
* another year, at least, before
* planning to marry.
* That will give your mother
* time to know the lad better,
* and she will also find how
* important he has become to
* you. If you date other boys,
4' too, that will help; later, it
* you still prefer him, she will
* have to admit you know your
* own mind.
* The young man will not, of
* course, drink at all from now
* on, if only to show your
• mother he can stop. He will
* be wise, too, to go to church
* with you two if lee do so
* honestly. As to his age, it has
* long been my opinion that
* a young man several years
* older than his girl makes a
* more satisfactory husband;
* girls usually mature earlier,
* and his added years are a
* safeguard to married happi-
* ness.
* Talk this over with him,
then both of you discuss it
* with your mother and tell her
* you will wait to marry. It will
* give him time to get adjusted
* to civilian life, and you be
* learning all the practical de-
* tails of homemaking so you
s' can be sure of taking good
* care of him.
Goci'd luck!
* *
Even if you are lonely and
longing for the loVe and protec-
tion of a good man, don't fall
for the first male that proposes.
Learn to know his character and
his reputation before you decide.
Too many lazy males are out for
a woman's money . . Anne
Hirst is here to listen -to your
problem and try to help. Write
her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth
St., New Toronto, Ont.
This column sometimes comes
in quite useful as a sort of
weather diary. As you know
this year November is establish-
ing a frost-free record. One
radio broadcast was noting the
difference in our present mild
spell as compared with weather
conditions in November, 1933. So
before starting this column to-
day I looked up my "Ginger
Farm Year Book" for '33 and
this is what I found written.
"Winter in December, January,
February or March isn't so bad,
but winter early in November,
that's somehting else again. The
birds, like ourselves, seem hard-
ly to know what to make of this
white blanketted world and fly
hurriedly from tree to fence and
fence to tree again. The snow
as it falls is settling on to any
tiny leaf or branch • that will
hold a snowflake,"
That was published November
16 but turning back the pages
again I find winter had really
set in even earlier than that,
November 2nd of that same year
I mentioned fetching Daughter
from a Girl Guide meeting and
driving home in thick, slushy
snow, facing the storm, driving
with one hand, and with the
other working the hand-operat-
ed windshield wipers on the old
Model T! That night there was
a wild scramble to find last year's
gum rubbers, overshoes, heavy
oversocks and winter work
boots. Next morning the chil-
dren set out for school with
mitts and rubbers, heavy coats
and windbreakers and whoops of
joy. Winter had come! Inci-
dentally, they had to walk a
mile and a half — there wasn't
any school bus to pick them up
in those days,
, Just imagine, all that I have
mentioned happened twenty-five
years ago and yet I remember
that drive just as if it were
yesterday, We used to call our
Model T. "the Optimist". We
gave $75 for it, It was our first
car and alter three hall-hour
lessons I took it on the road oy
myself. Possibly "the optimist"
applied to the driver as well as
the car.
Isn't it too bad one man's meat

Speaking of T.V. what do you

fully tired of Westerns and so-
called variety shows? And also
some of the C.B.C.'s "culture"
programmes—dramas and trage-
dies that begin in the middle and
have no proper ending at all.
Or with an ending that leaves
a bad taste in the mouth. No, I
can't say we appreciate C.B.C.
drama but at the same time we
do think C.B.C. programmes on
the whole are better than any
U.S. network. We specially enjoy

Words. As for sports coverage
it' is second to none—and that
applies to the news too, especial-
ly since the six o'clock Metro-
politan news was inaugurated.
Of course there are times when
we do plenty of criticizing.
Tabloid can be awfully boring
at times. — uninteresting inter-
views go on and on but an inter-
view that has you sitting on the
edge of your Chair is often cut to
five minutes,
On the other networks we like
to listen to the Firestone Hour,
Hurray's Dance Party, Round
Table Discussion, Perry Mason
and What's My Line — and some
of the hour-long dramas, We
enjoyed "The Wins-
low Boy". We were not too up-
set when the Quiz programs
went off the air, I wonder what

Modern Etiquette

Q. Are all plates removed from
a dinner table before serving
the dessert?
A. Yes; the table should be
plateless. The salt cellars, pep-
per pots, unused flat silver, are
taken off the table, and the
crumbs are brushed off each
place at the table with a folded
napkin onto a. tray held under
the table edge.
Q. Should a man precede a
woman he is with through a re-
volving door, in order that he
might do the pushing?
A. No; he should start the
door off with a push, and then
allow the woman to precede
him,
Q. Is it proper for a woman to
shake hands with her gloves on?
A. This is quite proper -- and
without any excuses for the
gloves either.
Q. Is it all right to type social
letters?
A. This is quite all right.
Typed letters should be written
on a single sheet, with only one
side of the paper used. And be
sure that your signature at the
end of the letter 18 written by
hand.

Though it e r ra n the) o
Queen Mary, could seldom re-
sist a peep. at news earner's, the
Queen always treats the TV lens
as if it wasn't there and sn
makes herself a TV "natural".
Yet behind her outward eorn-
posture, she often confesses to
"neroee".. It's just a year since
she broadcast her first personal.
TV speech in Canada, and her
producer, Michael Hind -Smith,
noticed during a brief rehearsal
the fears masked by her calm
demeanour.
He suggested that a special
backdrop depicting the royal
arms was too fussy .and would
distract viewers, Casually he
talked of studio problems, but
the Queen still remained un,
usually tense,
To make her feel more re-
laxed, he put the Queen behind
a desk. When. Prince Philip
urged his wife to smile the
Queen nodded but looked quite
miserable, Then, just before Her
Majesty went on the air; the
Prince drew the producer aside.
"Tell the Queen to remember
the 'wailing and gnashing of
teeth," he said.
Mystified, the producer obey,
ed and. Her Majesty instantly
gave him a smile and became
less tense, What. might have
been a "slight technical hitch"
in the broadcast was over, and
the next instant the viewers.
were watching.
It was the same with the
Queen's Christmas broadcast
from the long library—a former
skittle-alley — at Sandringham.
The Queen spoke naturally, but
her best smile, dazzling millions
of viewers, came at the end
when, just outside camera range,
Prince Philip gnashed his teeth
at her.
The line about °wailing and
gnashing of teeth" is a text from
Matthew 13 that has always
amused Her Majesty.
Charming BBC announcer Syl-
via Peters also took part in the
Queen's TV training by making
a short instructional film show-
ing the five best methods of
putting over .a televised speech.
Chosen as tutor because her
voice, features and complexion,
are similar to the Queen's, Sylvia
read from one of the Queen's
radio speeches; first a straight-
forward reading, .next • a read-
ing with occasional glances at
the camera in the news an-
nouncer •style, thirdly a perform-
ance with a teleprompter and,
then a reading with teleprompter
and script.
Finally, Sylvia gave an act-
ress's performance, ving
learned the script by heart. Her
Majesty watched the film over
and over 'again in her private
apartments and then selected the
teleprompter technique. •
This is the deVice that helped
Mr. MacMillan when he had to
prepare his first TV speech as
Prime, Minister. The text of a
speech unreels in huge letters
which can be read yards away
and reflectors enable to the text
to be seen while the speaker i3

the camera.
Prince Philip used one for his
round - the world descriptive
broadcast, but kept putting in
jokes that weren't on the
prompter, ~That's why he ran
fifteen minutes overtime.
Princess Margaret partly read
and partly memorized a tele-
vision speech she recently gave
in Canada. The Queen Mother
hasn't yet made a special TV
speech, though she alWays re-
members viewers and gives the
cameras. a special smile at .public
events.
Not long ego, anxious to learn
more about TV techniques, the
Queen Mother toured the studios.
just. as she walked on to one
of the sets, a strident VOlCe called
out: "She's here, Mum. It's the
other Muir,!" Officials winced,
slut it was just one of the actors
speaking his lines in the Grova
Family series.
Per the record, the first mem-
ber of the 'Royal Family to,
become a TV personality was
the Earl of Harcwood. He ask-,
ed the Queen for permission be-
fore he talked about opera in
"Panorama" programme.
In, is very real sense, royse
broadcasting technique comes to
maturity with the State Opening
of Parliament, When the Queen's
grandfather, Icing George V,. was
first asked to broadcast a per,
eonal -message back in 1929, he
agreed with misgivings, convinc-
ed he would be taking part in
some kind of soap opera. It
was Queen Mary who, in tbs.%
Duke of Windsor's words, "saw
the advantage to the monarchy "
Wise Cows!
Five cows, kept in a pasture
near a country house, were given
a ration of sal.t. every Sunday
morning. As a handful of salt to
a cow is as tasty as a bar of
chocolate to a child, the cows be-
gan to look forward to their
Sunday treat,
After a while the cows started
to anticipate the salt, For six
days, whenever milking time
came round, they had to be
rounded up, but on Sundays they
came voluntarily towards the
house -and stood about with an
air of expectation. If the cow-
man forgot to bring the salt, the
cows, instead of going straight
back to the pasture after milking
as they did on other days, stood
about for an hour or so—waiting
for their Sunday treat.
The cows lived in an isolated
part of the country and Dr. A.
S. Hudson, who records this
story, says that as far as he could
judge there was nothing to help
the cows to distinguish Sunday
from any other days The only
explanation seems to be that they
developed a time-sense that told
them that Sunday was Saltday.
