They are shocked that * she feels affection for any * man, and longs to grow old 4 with a contemporary beside * her. Frankly, they feel a bit A. ashamed; they think her in- * clination to marry is little * short of incleeent, • When they wanted to get * married they went merrily * ahead, never considering that * you would be left holding a * job and living out your years • al on e, unprotected against * loneliness or illness or mis- a fortune. They do not mean to 4 be selfish now, they just have ''' not the understanding • that * later years will bring, * The least your children can * do is to get acquainted with '0 this man, and learn to know * him. He would never deprive * them of your affection and I concern even if he could; he has no desire to interfere, no wish but to in a lc e their mother's life richer and enjoy with her the companionship each can give the other. I suggest you invite them all over to dinner to meet him. They can hardly refuse. Have you a woman friend they like who can explain your need for a more complete life? Or why not show them this comment? You have sacrificed every- thing for your family. Now that you can live a life of your own, you are entitled to it. Only you can decide, of course. If after all your efforts the children are still adamant, marriage might not be worth that to you; but certainly in your place I should not turn down this chance to marry without using all my ' per- suasion. If they still refuse their goodwill, they are storing up dark remorse for themselves that could spoil their mature years. * * NO-GOOD MAN "Dear Anne Hirst: We married at 18 and 20, and for five years my husband was real good and sweet to me. But when we started a family he forgot about me and the baby and began running around. Now we have three children, and he is still at it. "Shall I believe all the tales 1 hear about him, or put my trust in the good Lord? I've been the best wife I know how, always thinking first of his com- fort, but he keeps right on drinking, while I do some work in the church. He fusses con- tinually, and I can't take much more. He just throws his whole check away, buys very little for us to eat and gives me no money for the children's other needs. "Indeed we haven't proper clothes — no money, no husband, ro father-- just a drunken, no- good man. DESPERATE" * If you have proof that your * husband spends too much * money on other women, the * Legal Aid Society in your * neighborhood can advise you * as to divorcing him. However, * this assumption is not easy to * prove. , * There seems no doubt that • your husband is not supporting- * his family as well as he 'can * afford, and it is on these * grounds you should appeal for * advice. He needs a man to deal • * with him, and an attorney for " the Society should be able to * convince him he must take * better care of you all, or else. * Be frank in your interview * with this group, for you can * trust them to be understanding " and kind. * e * Children do not mean to be Selfish, they are just interested first in themselves. If your family has this problem, write. Anne Hirst about it. She sees both sides and often can explain one to the other. Address her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth Street, New Toronto, Ontario. Tasty 'Licking The meeting . in New 'York's. Henry •ItudSon last month was deadly serious, and to a. reporter who had gotten into, it by mistake, utterly bewildering. The sponsor was the Institute of Environmental Engineers and its. purpose was to demonstrate, and discuss., their latest devices for creating; the kind of -tempera- turee and conditions. •thelt might be encountered, in say, outer space. Wandering about, the reporter came to something called a ThermaLmite Teet Chamber, ft looked like an ordinary icebox but a card on its said it could create temperatures from 200 degrees. Fahrenheit below zero, to 400 above. "What do you keep in an.icebtex like that?" the reporter .asked a benevolent environ, mental engineer, "These, among other things," said the.environmental engineer and handed the 'reporter 'what- looked like an. everyday Pope. aide. It had an unmistakable. taste of Scotch. whisky. - "That's right," 'Said .the en- gineer beaming ancr.helping him- relf to one, "it's frozen' Scotch', We call it•a 'Whisicle.' Have an- other?" , The reporter said he didn't mind if he did. "Or maybe," said the engineer, "you'd rather try this one. Frozen champagne. Unfortunately we haven't licked the problem of bubbles yet." The reporter didn't lick any problems that day, either. Just Whisicles. What is it? IT'S A CHANDELIER — The. Rev. Nicholas L. Vieron of , the Memphis, Tenn., Greek Ortho- dox Church shows the sexton, George Ballas, where to dust the church's huge, glass chan- delier, Did you guess right about the picture? Aquamarines Become Popular Those clear, sea-green, semi- precious stones known as aqua- marines have rocketed to popu- larity since the gift d few months ago to the Queen from the Presi- dent of Brazil of a-$30,000 aqua- marine and diamond bracelet with a clip. "The Queen was given the aquamarine because. I found out that the loves it," Brazil's Am- bassador in London, Senhor Assis de Chateaubriand, revealed. The bracelet and clip match perfeet- ly a necklace given to the Queen by Brazil for her Coronation. - The aquamarine has always been one of the favourite gems 'of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, It has been poetically described as looking as though it came "direct front some niet- maids treasure-house in the depths of a summer sea." Many of the largest specimens have originated from Brazil, but recently the sources of aqua- marine there Were reported to be rather low. In olden days it was worn as an amulet and was knowri as the "stone of safety." It was also said to bring, the Wearer solace arid comfort in time of stress and trouble. Throughout the centuries women have worn aquamarine to ensure happiness in marriage, Skim milk, so necessary in fighting the Battle of the Bulge, has long been recognised as the best source of protein focd we can take. And I do mean "food" even though milk in its natural state is a liquid. But do you know there is a variation in skim milk depending upon the breed of cow from which it comes? The higher the buttet- eat content of the whole milk the higher the non-fat solids it con- tains. High testing milk contains approximately 16% more pro- tein and 8% more calcium than a quart of milk of the low-fat variety. My goodness, doesn't it almost throw you when you think of the difference there is in farm- ing now and yesterday. Years ago milk was milk and We were satisfied to let it go at that and asked no questiohs. We drank it raw, and sometimes warm, just as it came from the cow. Pas- teurization was little-known — and just a lot of fuss about noth- ing, so we thought: As for skim milk, that was ,something we fed, to the pigs and poultry. Look- ing back I am sure most chil- dren built up a natural ime munity -to infection, otherwise how would they have survived? Here is a ease in point. Among our herd cows was one Holstein —Katie. She was. a good -milker and appeared, to be in particu- larly good condition, so it was always some of her milk that was saved for domestic use—and cur children had 'milk at every meal. Then came government inpsection of cows and the elim- ination of' T.B. infected animals. We had two re-actors on the first test. One of them was fifteen-year-old Katie! It was quite a shock? A cow giving bacteria-infected milk and our children had been drinking it for years. If they had not built up their own immunization they must surely have contracted T.B, I might add, no one outside the family drank the milk as we were separating and selling churning cream. That was the first and last time we had any re-actors in our herd.' Later we sold fluid milk to a local dairy and never oric9, had a sour can returned, And yet the only way we had chilling the milk was by drop- ping the can into a tank of ice= cold water front the well. Then the local Health Unit came into being and before long fargiere were told they must build milk houses, install electric milk- coolers or else, A year be- fore we left the farm we ptit in a $300 Milk cooler. T doubt it we got our money's worth Out of it. But We were thankftil for small Mercies. Burnouts were afloat that all dairy farm- era would eventually be COM- pelted to' adopt the no-handling method 6f Milking and ship by tank. That would mean an exe Penditure Of about $3,000 .for Special equipment, To many small dairy farmers the cost Was beyond their Means. State *Met Out of.dairy cattle and raised beef instead,. We,. as you know, got out from under 1)v Selling the farm. and shut-offs it is actually much less. Far, far less than the 240 a quart the consumer pays; at the door, So, tomorrow morn, mg when you pick up your, milk don't take it all for granted. Ito- member the work, and expense invelved before the milk gets lute the bottle—and then maybe you'll find that 24cL easier to pay, Well, while we are on the subject of dairy products how about Margarine? Do'You know `there' is another campaign for colour in the offing? Many women's organizations are agi- tating for the removal of colour restrictions, claiming that 71/2 million hours during a six- month period are spent in On- tario homes just colouring mar- garine, And of all the messy jobs that's about the worst, Of course, there is an easy way to avoid it , . buy butter, However, with the cost of living so high, and so many wives and mothers putting up lunches, a 'lot of them just can't afford butter. So, if they are going to buy margarine anyway what's .the sense of forcing them to take that unappetising white stuff? We prefer butter our- selves but I certainly don't criti- cise anyone, for using margarine, nor do I object to eating it when I have to. This -war against colour crops up repeatedly and so far as I can 'see it's a losing battle. I doubt if the removal of the colour ban would increase the sales to any great extent. So I' am all for the sale 'of yellow margarine and let people buy what they will: After all, colour is not the only thing that counts. You can tell margarine by its texture and flat flavor. Mar- garine and toast, and buttered toast are entirely different. So I say away with the colour ban and the messy job of kneading dabs of yellow into soft masses of goo. However, if and when we do get coloured margarine I'll still buy butter anyway. Too Much Emphasis On Security? The Amish people, a Mennon- ite sect, have been here for a very long time. To most of us, the Amish are a quaint group whom we see now and then in the newsreels or the National Geographic driving their horses and buggies slowly to and from farm and marketplace. The men are all bearded and the women all bonneted. But to their neighbors, the Amish are a law-abiding, God- fearing, industrious farm people who raise their childreh to re- spect their elders and to assume a responsibility, for. their rela- tives too old to work. In many ways, their way of life mighLbe•p, a pattern the rest of us 'would do well to follow,: But the Amish areskinownlaw-$s breakers,' because America„ in its emphasis on-fsecurity, transgressed a freedom they hold to be paramount. Recently an auctioneer in Canton, Ohio, sold off livestock seized from Amish farmers by the U.S. Government because the Amishmen refused to pay the Old Age and Sur- vivors Insurance' System levies: The tax, they say, is against their religion. To play" tax to " admit that the GavernmehtilaS!, a responsibility for aged Amish, and to admit:That it tio deny their own responsibiljty,,and thus one of their strictest' 'iPliglOtts pre- cepts. The records in the twat counties where the Government seized 28 head of livestock from 15 Amish farmers'and ;cash' assets of 50 others show that Amish- man had ever ,solght:pnblig,l as- sisiance of any kind. Has this emphasis orivSecurity - touched only the Amish? No; farmers are Brig for rgrowing'' wheat wIthout a Gnyernment , . eay-ett because other farmers Want it . that way in their set eh for security, Congress has per , mated the labor law to be •;(), written that men can be for-ed to join a labor union in order to hold a job, The laws that require these things are not, it should be re, .membered, laws enacted to pre, vent evil or wrongdoing, it is not wrong; we think, for a man to have the freedom to work without having to fain any as- sociation of other men' in order to do so, It is not wrong, for a farmer to grow wheat on, his own farm for ilia own .a.Se, It is not wrong for the Aroish to reject the idea of Government responsibility. for their own. agel members. To the contrary. What is wrong is the growing emphasis 'ft) our society on security. The wrong comes about when, in, the name of the alleged greater good of all, .collectiye .security is' per- mitted to, disregard or destroy individual eighte or beliefs' or freedoms. Furthermore, it wrongs more- than the individual. For as one man's freedom is lost, freedom for all men is diminished as well. And thotigh security is one of man's highest aspirations, per- haps we had better' remember that security without freedom is historylS bltterest jest And there is a ,point where. over- emphasis on one can slowly, but inexorably, destroy the other. —The Wall Street •Jreurnal. o ins BACK ON A VISIT — Princess Grace of Monaca looks on as her husband, prince Rainier (left) s h a k es hands with her hither, John Kelly, of PHllodelohia.
