with his eesponsibilities he
• cannot think of marriage for
* quite a while, I expect, and
* he hesitates to commit him-

* the initiative and he would
* resent such a declaration; it
* would put him on the spot

* shrink from doing,

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

• I aril sorry. I know how lm-
* possible it seems to change

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.

"And one show of gallantry
may cost them the match."
At the same time the univer-

that tiddlywinks is a "sissy's

Costly Penalty
For Cheap crime
A Meal, a few drinks, a wan-,
der round the town, then return
to camp. 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

plate dance, in Jakarta. Her
performance was part of a lo-

Stopped. 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

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

. 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

houses would be hard to sell.

Well, there are houses oh the

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,

"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.
