"He only sees me once a week, because he goes to night school regularly* His father died last year, and he has a mother and sister to look after. He is bashful but he's the set- tled type, too. If he is too shy to ask me, how can I let him know how I love him? I don't want to embarrass him — but this suspense is getting me down. (I know this letter is not fit to be printed, hut do let me hear something frooaDyeerus-), * You cannot know whether * the boy loves you until he * says so. He may care, but with his eesponsibilities he • cannot think of marriage for * quite a while, I expect, and * he hesitates to commit him- * self. The surest way to em- * barrass him would be to show * your affection. No matter how * shy a man is, he wants to take * the initiative and he would * resent such a declaration; it * would put him on the spot * and that, of course, you would * shrink from doing, • Time is your ally.

Address her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont. Teee' Anne Hirst; MY sysreqt` heart was Ordered overseee last fall, and wanted us to get mar, Pied before he left. We bought the ring, and made arrange- ments with our pastor. Then he ea u ee up and said to forget it —he couldn't get enough time aft. "dust two weeks ago I had a letter from abroad, and he. wants to break our engagement) (His letters had become more scarce but I didn't, worry). I told his family, and they wouldn't believe it. Because my Parente had been helping tie so generously with our plans, I can't, bear them to know this. I wrote him at once, asking if there was angther girl. He re- plied 'No' -- but what could do if there were? "So it sounds like there 'is somebody else. "I simply can't let him go, Anne Hire t, I love him too much. I haven't looked at an- other man since we got en- gaged. r would do anything to get him back, but if I admit we're through everybody will make fun of me. Yet should I give him up? BROKEN-HEARTED" JFIE GAVE YOU UP * I am afraid you must face * the cruel truth: It is not a * question of giving up the * young man, it is he who has * broken the engagement. Tell * your parents and your pastor * immediately; they will be * shocked, but not at you, at him. They will help you * through. Why admit to friends that• * you've been jilted? Simply say you have changed your * mind and would rather not * talk about it. * Whether there is another * girl involved or not, there is * no getting the lad back. He * had made up his mind. Now * call on your self-respect, and * hold your head high, Look up * boys you used to know and * date them; whether you want * to or not, it will soothe your * hurt feelings and restore your * self-confidence, • I aril sorry. I know how lm- * possible it seems to change * your plans for the future you * hoped to spend with him. But * your attitude now will show what you are, a girl of char- * acter who shows the, rest of * her world how a lady behaves * under stress. * * "DOES HE LOVE ME?" "Dear Anne Hir s t: I have only one problem: Does the boy I Rive care for me or not? I Blasting Caps Can Be Dangerous Few places are more danger- ous playgrounds for children than construction sites. That's the advice of police and fire de-' partment representatives who have taken time out to visit schools to promote safe play habits. Children can pick up a handful of trouble at building project sites, Take blasting caps for in- stance, Blasting caps are essen- tial tools in much construction work but when mishandled by children, who could mistake them for firecrackers or empty rifle cartridges, these innocent-look- ing cylinders can cause serious injuries, Officials advise children to stay away from places where build- ing is going on — an organized playground has much safer fun to offer. However, if a stray blasting cap should be found, children are told to keep "hands off". There are two main types of blasting caps: non-electric for use with safety fuse, and those set off electrically. The type for use with safety, fuse is about Ph inches long and about the thickness of a pencil. It has one open end and is made of aluminum. Electric blasting cap shells are made of either copper or aluminum and may vary from one to five inches in length. They t have two colored wires attached. Open flame, shock, friction, undue heat or rough handling can cause detonation of these caps. The police or some other authority Who can dispose of the blasting dap safely should be notified immediately one is found. Daytime success!

No Gstme For "Tiddlywinks is a game for four players, those who play .9P, posite each other being partners, The aim of the game is to dick the winks into the pot" In the quick wake of the sche, d cling of the tiddlywinic. match between the undisputed chant- pion of the British Isles, Cam- bridge University, and the Uni- versity of Chicago, a number of significant reactions have been recorded in the Windy City, For one, the university's Stu," dent paper has. devoted a halt page of its paper to printing the international rules of tiddlywinks —from which. the aforementioned definition of the game is taken. At the same time,. .Rochelle Dubnow, editor of the paper — the Maroon—hinted at the type of unexpected opposition the Cambridge aggregation mey'have to face here next. September, '`We find nothing in the rules that prohibits young women from taking part,' Miss Dubeow said, "Although sporting codes are customarily thrown to the winds in tiddlywinks competition," she said, "we suspect the long tradi- tion of British gallantry toward women may prove too much for even these battle-hardened vet- erans. "And one show of gallantry may cost them the match." At the same time the univer- sity's director of athletics, Wal- ter L, Hass, scoffed at. the idea that tiddlywinks is a "sissy's sport." He grimly pointed out that there were "split thumb- nails, flying winks which threat- en players and spectators alike," He said that "these are the con- siderable hazards of the game."

That was the innocent integio •of three young British seldiees An leeVe Aill.zge;.qapan, in January, 1954, a i . the end of the Korean war, 131st, they lost control, got drunk on rum in a dive, became aggressive and were flung out by two leering Saps, Inflamed by the liquor and the need to be revenged op someone for the rough handling, they saw a prostitute, and, after arguing the matter, decided, to attack and rob her, As she tried to dart off they jumped on her. Signalman Graham Nicholls found a broken brick in his hand and crashed it down on her head. She dropped in a huddle, moan- ing, then began shrieking, "M.P.I M.P.! Thieves!" He grabbed money from her bag and the' 'three made off. The other two were William. Dreslin, from. Dublin, and William McKeragh- an, from Glasgow, It was a senseless crime for a paltry 800 yen—P.00. And it had grave results. For the Saps now had the right to try and punish British servicemen for crimes committed outside their bases. Interrogation in barracks• focussed on the three men as suspects. Blood-stained trousers were found under Nicholls's bed. He pleaded that he had cut him- self in a fall some time previous- ly, and the cut had healed. But there was evidence enough to justify handling the men over to the Japanese police. Gordon Thomas and Ronald Hutchinson tell the whole dra- matic story in "Turn By The Window." The trio were taken, handcuffed, to police H.Q., raked separately with questions in the hope that they would incriminate each other. "Each one was framed to blacken my case further," Nich- olls says. "Wasn't I responsible for attacks on other women in Kure? Hadn't I arranged to stay in Japan, to profit out of the local populace? Over and over again the same questions were thrust' at me, slowly clogging my mind and making it difficult to think clearly." He was even taken from prison to hospital to confront the wo- man lying in bed, bandaged, looking deathly, with two old people—evidently her parents— sitting by. The old couple began shouting at 'him, all three screeched at him, "Why you do it, soldier?" she asked at last. And Nicholls could say nothing. Under pressure of this kind the three decided to plead guilty after appearing before the Chief Procurator, who acted as prose- cutor, magistrate and coroner, and allowed for no doubt as to their guilt. Eventually they were tried by three judges—so forbidding that Nicholls christened them Lofty, Flint-face and Ugly.. There Was no jury, but they were granted "TARIPIRING" — Eleven-year- old Judy Glassburner, daugh- ter of an American professor at the University of Indonesia, performs the "tairpiring," of plate dance, in Jakarta.

Short By The Press There is nothing so commonly used for wrapping articles as a piece of newspaper, and who would think of trying to identify one copy when millions are printed? Last summer' an old man was found dead in Cornwall; he had been battered with a stone wrap- ped in newspaper. The newspa- per was one of the national dailies, and the police made in:. quiries at the newspaper office because an issue would contain information which might be val- uable. The Buxton case was a classic example. Dr. Buck Buxton, who lived at Lancaster, had many quarrels with his wife, and after Septem- ber 14th, 1935, she disappeared with her maid. Ruston said they had gone off on holiday. Later the dismem- bered remains of parts of two women were found' in a ravine near Moffat in. Scotland, Some of the remains were wrapped in newspaper, and one of the news- papers was dated September 15, 1935, The police made inquiries and found that only a limited nuni- bet of this particular edition had been printed, and it had only been circulated in Lancaa- ter. r PRETTY PAGAN — A beauty ih battle drets, Cuban actress Chelo Alonzo Wears a Warrior's costume for her role in a new ,MOVie being filmed In Rome.

Of course the Federal budget was another highlight last - week. Naturally no one likes the increase in taxation but I guess most people realize that we can't have social security and the services we demand witth:! out paying for them. We expect our township taxes will also be higher as we are, expecting wa- ter mains to be laid in the not too distant future. Surveying: has already been done. ' According to present indica- tions this is going to be a •year of great activity. Tree-cutting is already it progress at Gin- ger Farm to make room for the cloverleaf. Our *lovely trees . it is almost heartbreaking to think of them being levelled to the ground, In all the years we were on the farm Partner would never cut down a living tree, no matter how badly we needed firewood. The trees were also protected when hydro wires were first strung along the road. At that time hydro' poles, were placed well inside our front field instead .of on the road allowance so' as not to disturb the , trees. Now, at last, they have all been sacri- ficed. The same thing is hap- pening in many places along the Queen. E. in preparation 'for widening the highway, and also along the Dunclas. One thing around here has surprised us very .,much. We thought When Avro folded up many houses would be for sale and the owners be forced. to take a loss. Also that the houses would be hard to sell. , Well, there are houses oh the market all right but they are selling like hot cakes. Houses that have been for sale for some time have now been sold. Two houses near us had been listed only two weeks when, they were sold. We can't Un- derstand -it but there it is.

If you are not interested in dogs you hadn't better bother to read my column today. If you are then you will at least tolerate it. You see, one night last week we lied unexpected callers — the.: People from whom we ' bought our Welsh Corgi—Taffy. And I am sure Taffy 'knew them —he nearly went wild with ex- citement. Personally I don't be- lieve a dog ,ever forgets people he has known for any length of time. Mrs. T. knelt on the floor and watched Taffy as he ran from one of the other. "Isn't he beautiful!" she exclaim- ed, "and so exactly like his fa- ther !" We couldn't help being amused * it always strikes us as funny the attitude dog breeders take towards the dogs they have raised. We like our Taffy but there was sheer adoration in Mrs. T's eyes as she watched him. We know other dog breeders who act the same way. Mrs. M. who raises. German Shepherds; Phyl- lis F. and her Irish setters—all of them 'prize-winning show dogs. Mrse T, thought our Taffy should be shown too. Well, he may have all the necessary qualifications but I told her showing him is the last thing I would ever want to do. I just couldn't be bothered. But I told her if she wanted to take on the job it was all right With me. So that's the way we left it. In the meantime Taffy is leading a normal dog's life. He is having a wonderful time now the snow has gone, just chasing around in his pen, trying to get at the cat who teases him by staying on the outside of the fence. He is getting more intelligent • all the time. Inside our back door Six steps go down to the basement and six steps go up to the kit- chen,Taffy always waits to see which Way we want him to go— and that depends upon whether he is clean or dirty that, too, depends on the weather, /snt this a grand time for hockey fans?

Godfrey Sperling Jr, in The Christian Science Monitor. "Cambridge, naturally, will have the advantage of experi- ence," he said, "but we'll be,play- ing on home ground, always an important factor:" The nature of the Cambridge University challenge has also been divulged. In the letter sent to the University of Chicago by Frank G. KershaW, honorary secretary of the Cambridge Tid- dlywinks Club, this rather rough remark was made: "We feel ture," Mr. Kershaw said, "that you will be keen to take part." The first Chicago reaction was that this was taking a great deal for granted. On second thought university authorities marked up this rather blunt letter to youthful impetu- osity, sharpened 10 razor keen- ness by the urge to do tiddly battle. And thus the threat of an "incident," right at the outset of Catribridge-Chicai,o athletic re- lotions, was ended I'efore it could do any real damage. Meanwhile, official academic reaction to the tiddly match has been taking. shape. HarOld, Haydoti,, dean of stil- dente, had this to say: "While Other college students= cram themselves into telephone booths,•the trunks of •Sports' cars; and Municipal trash basketa, Uiii- ver:.ity of Chicago 'stUdehts will Continue to seek international contada of distirictidn:" Ile Warned`, litiWeVer, that only students 'who hialistain the tied- versify's high scholiistic stand ards Will be eligible', 1111111imii,
