SEEN HER? - If you say this is Sophia Loren making herself beautiful beside a pool you're cloie. She is Scala Gabel, Sophia's former stand-in, who has struck off on her own career as Tarzan's most recent cinemate. "Dear Anne Hirat: I am 19 now, and everybody thioks atm a nice girl, but it is all on the surface. Down deep I am sinful and hateful find just dOwnright no good- 'When my father died I was seat to my graadmother. She wouldn't let me have any fun like other girls do e-so when I was 17 I ran off with a man who was Married, which I didn't and out for lQ months , I left him right away, and my baby was born later. He never knew I had one. "I came home to my mother and. stepfather. My mother sim- ply hates me, and accuses me of being no good. If I ever do get out for a date I've got to be in by 10:301 "I have met a very fine young man, and I think I'm in love, but ,she refuses to let him come to the house and if he calls up she won't let me talk to him. I've met his parents, though, and they are sweet to me. He likes my baby, and I believe he cares fqr me. (I've told all my friends I am•,clivorced.) "I have lived through all the torment I intend to stand. Poesh't anyone ever stop paying? I have no one else to turn to, and I'm afraid to make any decision my- self, Anne Hirst, please tell me what to dot DESPERATE" ALL MIXED UP • Before you dream of the fu- *sture, I urge you to make an * honest effort to get along bet- a eter with your mother. I do not * believe she hates you. Didn't *!she give you and your baby a * home? Hasn't she taken care • of you both since? You must * admit that your elopement and a its consequences were a shock, and I am sure she imposes these restrictions because she is afraid you may be tempted again. You are lucky indeed that she has stood by. What- ever would you have done without her? You will have to show her that she can trust you now. A straight-forward talk should dispel her doubts-IF you prac- tise what you promise. Assure her that you will not betray her confidence, and if she will relax these rules a bit she will not regret it. This is the time to be humble (which you have never learned to be) and to mean every word you say. Prove your intentions by showing her that you have grown up.

Nothing' has happened, There doesn't seem to be a single nice man in the church I attend. I've talked to all my friends, and they don't know any they can introduce. I'm get- ting desperate. "I had one bad marriage, as you know, and I suffered a lot. I' got to thinking there were no good men left, that they only wanted women who go to road- houses, etc. I've always had a good name and I intend to keep it. "I know you are not running a marriage bureau, but you don't seem to realize how hard it is to meet the right sort of men. I think God meant us all to enjoy the company of the opposite sex . . . I hope other girls aren't having the trouble I am. MARGIE" * You would ,be amazed to * know how many nice young • women have had the same dis- * couraging experience. Those * who write me seem the sort * who would make good wives, * yet months pass and not a * single eligible male gives them * a second glance. Sometimes I * think some men are just plain * stupid to let talented and de- * lightful women live another * year alone, * Has it occurred to you to * branch out among other groups * and find new friends? I mean * women as well as men. If one * is warm hearted and kind, this * shouldn't be impossible, and * through them you may meet * others. Look about you, see what your community offers, * and make your choice though- * fully. Everywhere there are ° popular young women who, * once they like you, are not * selfish in sharing their friends * Give the idea a whirl, * Because yesterday and today * are lonely, don't fear that to- * morrow must be. Stay inter- * ested in what's going On so * that you will be an intelligent * listener, well-informed and re- * sponsive; remember that sym- pathy and good humor and in- * nate kindness are treasured * virtues, and men are quick to * respond. • Let us both keep hoping that " your loneliness will soon be " over. * * One cannot sin without paying, and the cost is high.

Baum, 25 joins the Washington, rookie police class. Her father, FBI agent William Carter Baum, was shot to death by Baby Face Nelson at Spider Lake, Wis. Edith was 11 months old a't the time. Hollywood Convert Ever since actress Elizabeth Taylor scored. her first big suc- cess as the gangling, 13-year-old heroine of "National Velvet" (a 1945 movie about a little girl who owned a race horse), her every move has been front-page news. In Hollywood's best tradition there was, to begin with, the usual series of romantic entan- glements-in glorious Techni- color andthrilling 3-D. She was color and thrilling 3-D. She was football hero Glenn Davis, who went off to the Korean war, and then to William Pawley Jr., son of the former ambassador to' Brazil. Then came the marri- ages. 'First on the list, when Liz was 18, was Conrad Nicholson Hilton Jr. But he didn't last long. Then came British actor Michael Wilding, by whom she had two sons; that marriage also ended in divorce. Next Liz mar- ried Mike Todd and bore him a daughter. Todd was killed in a plane crash, A few months later, his widow was named as "the other woman" in the marriage breakup of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds, Last month, the latest front- page Liz Taylor news came from no Hollywood studio, but from Hollywood's Temple Israel Miss' Taylor, now 27, had beery con- verted to Judaism, the religion of her late husband, and of Eddie Fisher, the man whom she is now expected to marry. Among the surprising things about the annotaicerneht was that- ae a spokesman tot Temple Israel made clear -- conversions are not usually Made Public; the press release had been issued at Miss Taylor's own request. Rabbi Mail lartisehaurh, who "conducted the-ail14)1e prayer-atide response Service that inducted Miss Taylor into the Reform faith, said that Mike Todd's death had greatly intensified fier desire for Conversion, aria that she had been studying the religion for the past six months.

You just can't leave a wee toddler alone for a minute. The last day Ross was here I went out to the gaa- age for tray car keys, When I came back I could neither see nor hear him. I called and call- ed, went through every room and down to the basement, but not a sign of him anywhere. Then I heard a slight sound. I found him . . . in the cup- board under the kitchen sink, crouched back of the plumber's goose-neck, eyes gleaming with mischief. Of course in good weather, our baby-sitting, job would have been a lot easier but good weather is something we didn't have around here at that time, And now We Easter - and did anyone ever think of sing- ing -- "I'm dreaming of a white Easter?" Much less did we ex- pect to see one. But yet a white Easter is what we've got and that's the end of it. Easter Sun- day was nice and bright any- way. But when it comes down to fundamentals does the wea- ther matter too much after all. The Easter message is just the same as always, isn't at? 'A mes- sage that to remember helps us more now' than it ever did. We are living in troubled times and we certainly need the as- surance that the Easter message brings. Incidentally, one of the finest pieces of Easter writing I have read just recently is a story by Phyllis Lee Peterson ehe April issue of Chatelaine Magazine. Do read it, I know you will enjoy it, It makes what we may regard as mun- dane chores of the day seem so very worthwhile, Mary minds And Martha hands are as essential now as they ever were, We spent Easter Sunday in Toronto with daughter and fa, ;Wily, We welcomed the change. It was nice to get away from the sound of sump Wail) and pressure system, We zdttenyered that the reason our sump pump has been going most of the time for the last three weeps is be- cause the eavetrough outlet be- low the ground is frozen solid so the water was just circulat- ing around the house, Hearing the pump every little while is annoying . . not hearing it is worse! That is what happened one night, I woke up and lis- tened. , No sound of a pump working, or of trickling water. 1 w e'n t dowa to investigate without waking Partner. The pump had blown a fuse. 1 put in a fresh one but even then the pump refused to function, So I had to wake Partner after ell. Between us we got it going again. Later it blew another fuse. There was just one an- swer - dirt in the pit getting into the pump. We spent the 'afternoon cleaning it out, Part- ner down in the pit, I carrying the water and sludge away. Since 'then we *haven't had any trouble, But it started us think- ing about the inconvenience of modern conveniences and the necessity, of a certain amount of do-it-yourself-know-how if one is to make, the best use of , the joys of modern living, On the farm the cellar used "to flood occasionally but there was natural drainage and it eventually took care of itself, The septic tank had been in uee for ten years without giving any trouble. The .pressure sys- tem didn't• have the force be hind it that we have here but it was adequate for our needs. But the hydro service, I admit, was far less efficient than what we have here.. As far as we know the power has been off only twice in two years in this district. And then for not more than ten-minutes. We think that is quite; remarkable. And here's °hoping its good record con- tinues. When the hydro fails almost everything, givea up the g h o eaeelt e as one service we woulel:ifate td be without. Detergent foam Causes Trouble • Don't be fooled by tihe foam! There's a difference between cleansing suds and the residue from modern detergents. If you use a modern deter- gent instead of an old-fashioned typ e of cleansing agent, you may innocently contribute to a problem that has increasingly perplexed waste-disposal plants throtighaut the world. That problem is excessive foaming, caused by Modern cleansing materials that arc synthetic detergents. Such ma- terials have a molecular make- up t h a t resists the valuable "breakdown" action from bil- lions of bacteria acting upon waste to purify- and remove it at disposal plants. Most waste-disposal plants depend upon a system of treat- ment known as activated slUdge,. in which bacteria na- turally present in water and soil break down the molecu.es in waste. When this action is retarded, „.oe missing„ excessive foaming action results, Waves of ugly foam rise rapidly, caus- ing bad ()dews and unsightly conditions. " To overcome such foaming ac- tion, plants tritest use more men, add eXpensive equipment and maintain constant pteeatitions to prevent mountains of foam from accumulating. Foaming has been on the increase since World War II, because use Of synthetic detergents - known as "SYndOte by chemists and engineers - has, increased greatly, Fortunately, however, after eeveral years of research, and some. practical application of basic engineering principles, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology hays developed a method that may solve: thiseeworldwisle7, problem, The process is called "side flow," and is essentially the re- eult of long laboratory experi- ments, plus a relatively simple change in the engineering sys- tems at waste-disposal plants. The main testing site is a mo- dern sewage-disposal plant in Cranston, R.I., where the pro, cess has been in use since last November. Results to date are good, but the tests will continue for at least six months more before final evaluations are made, FAMLIY REUNION Each a citizen of a different country, the four children of a wandering circus clown met re- cently for the first time at Capri.
