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.

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 is nearly always another man's poison? This rain, which we find so cold and unpleasant, is really very. badly needed, Many wells in the country and suburbs are dangerously low, in some cases completely dry. But why did it Have to rain for the big Santa Claus parade, epoiling the fun foe thousands of children, eager- ly looking forward to this color= tut event/ Of course, there was television coverage, but that isn't nearly as good ea it used in be, However, it was better than nothing and Mote Or less setts- fied out grandsons, Dave arid Eddie were going with Daddy'to see the parade but Mother thought they were better at home. For which I was very thankful. I had visions of Art getting a bad attack of arthritis and the boys coming down with coughs and, sniffles.

The topper's done in Swiss cotton and trim- med with Swiss cotton knit to match the pants, doesn't really matter, With, everything under one roof you don't have to trail around in the rain from one place to an- other. We hope to get in a day at the Fair but at the moment we're not sure . . Partner has an attack of sinus and I have a slight dose of lumbago so we may have to stay home and get what we can on television. Speaking of T.V. what do you think of present - day pro- grammes? Don't you get fright- 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 Open House, Tabloid, Front Page Challenge and Fighting. 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 Hal March will do now? It must 'be quite a blow to an M.C. when a popular program folds up. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee 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. Text .Brinv*. frpm. 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 apparently looking straight into 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.
