We have been married nearly a year, and my husband will not allow me to wear shorts — yet he can't pass a girl who does without turning his head for a second look, "I shouldn't let this little habit infuriate me, but I can hardly keep still about it. Of course, he just laughs! ANGRY NOW" • Men are just about as in- * consistent as they say women * are, Some Prohibit their wives * from using make-up, cutting * their hair or wearing revealing * clothes, but the same men can't * keep eyes front when other * women makes the most of * their charms. * Why? Because they don't like * their wives to attract other * males. * Why dignify the subject by comment? Let your husband * stare. You may be in love, but if your boy friend is not keeping you happy there is something wrong. Remake your rules before you assume the doormat role that spells disillusion.

OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD After being involved in a car accident, Casimir Rosinski, of West Hartford was summoned because he smelled strongly of drink, When he appeared in court' the charge was dismissed, Hosinski proved that he always went about in an aroma of strong drink — he worked six days a week at a brewery! Doctor's Work In The Frozen North U c) p t just forte years ago, es William A, Padden could make house calls to his patients —4,000 Eskimos, Indians, and white settlers scattered along Labrador's northern coast—Only by dog sled and snowshoes. Then the Grenfell Mission sup- plied him with an airplane and a bush pilot, and a plodding world gave way to amazing speed for Dr. Petition. In Chicoga recently to tell the annual meeting of the Nafional Tuberculosis Association the de- tails of his dramatic, tensyear fight to stamp out TB (and other diseases) in his district, the husky, 44-year-Old Dr. Pad- don said the longest regular flights on his rounds is about 350 miles — a matter of two hours' flying time. "I made the same rounds for ten years on snowshoes, with a dog sled," he smiled wryly. "Putting one foot in front of another, it measures 80 miles, and it used to take me five weeks." But, with a shrug of his broad shoulders, Dr, Padden dismissed the hazards and hardships of the life of a Labrador doctor. He was raised in Labrador and is now director of the Grenfell Mission Hospital at North West River. His father had been a. director of :this same hospitais his mother, now 71, was award. - ed the Order of the British Em- pire for running it singlehand- SMART SUE — Susan Begby, 21-year-old "Miss Dallas," is d journalism and English major at Southern Methodist Univer- sity in the Texas city She's in Phi Beta Kappa, top scholastic honor society. ed during the second world war,. When the young Dr. Paddon, after serving in the Canadian Navy, returned to Labrador in 1945, he found the health of the natives b a d and getting worse. The U.S. Air Force had set up a base at Goose Bay, and it had brought in measles and influenza. These viruses, rare in Labrador, "lighted up the old TB infections and left a trail of new ones" among the weakened natives. Dr. Paddon's job was to diag- nose and isolate the TB cases that were infecting the rest of the population. In the summer of 1948, a hospital boat, newly fitted- with X-ray equipment, began docking alongside north- ern villages, and chest X-rays soolAille''-t-"a social event," Persuading the natives to ae- cept hospitalization was another matter]: Experience had taught them that only a lonely death far from hertie awaited them in # the hospitals to the south, Dr.. Padden's solution: Re left the badly infected but isicalci- tratit patients in their hothes and concentrated instead• on younger, less advanced cases. "PsyChblogically, we needed a few successful results to be ocplaineri. In Chicago, Dro Paddon took Stock of the reeults: In tell years, he said, the TB death rate has dropped froth betWeeti, 466' and 900 per 10,00 deaths, 30 per 166;000., Of course everybody knows the bluebird is an omen of hao- piness, and last week, you may remember, we had a bluebird on our acre lot. Well, that little bird 'must surely !have got his signals crossed because last week wasn't exactly the happiest we've known. And all on ac- count of blackflies, When we were up at Ginger Farm three weeks ago Partner got a few^ bites on his forehead. They were itchy but no worse than bites usually are. Two weeks later a big, hard, lump came up in front of one ear. The swelling spread into Partner's neck and up to one eye. The other side: of his face was also getting stiff and numb. A visit to the doc- tor was definitely indicated. Di- agnosis . . . secondary infection from the bites. Treatment . . daily injections of penicillin and various drugs by mouth. I'm telling you, Partner looked a mess. However, the treatment soon began to take eelect and as the swelling subsided the in- fection became localized to the two original bites and they be- gan to look something like a boil. .However, there is stilt enough swelling to give Part- ner's nose a queer looking slant. The nose starts out running north and south but the tip is pointing east or west, according to which way he's looking. While Partner was having his little bout with infection I developed a rotten cold — tonsilitis and summer colds seem to be quite prevalent just now, Other events last week were of a happier nature. One day we had callers — neighbours when we were at Ginger Farm, They came to warn us we were going to be neighbours again. "Neigh- bours", exclaimed, "what do you mean?" "Just what I said We have sold our farm and have bought a house in that subdi- vision just across the road from you," Well, that was a surprise. 01 course we had to go and see the house — in the Much, publi- sized Credit 'Woodlands. It is a wonderful house, but not quite finished. Split level, four-piece main bathroom, two-piece wash- room off the master bedroom, shower and washroom in the basement and a sink in the rec- reation room. Time was when we were glad to have a bath- room at all. Now a one-bathroont house is completely out of date. Of course this lovely house was on the Usual small tot and whew we all came back here I thought I detected a look of envy in our neighbours' eyes as we walked around our spacious .lot. How- even, it all depends on. what a person wants. I guess we I./Meld. rather be a atrial! toad in a big puddle , than a big toad in a Small puddle. Our friends inas have quite a different reason for locating where they have Incidentally the fact that our former neighbours have sold their farril means that ou, faithful old Austy must be adopt. ed by yet another family. there are several ferfriers Who Want so I guess ho Will alWaye be sure of a good home. Another event this Week was ;$1 Sign of better things to come for this district. Trucks and a township crane came along the road unloading pipes in prep- aration for the installation of a township water system some- time this year. It won't be too soon for some our neighbours as quite a number of •wells went dry last year. Our well lasted out all right but we shall put the water in just the same — might as well when we shall be taxed a certain amount for it anyway. However, we hope to work out some kind of a scheme so we can keep our wellLwater for the garden. Won't it be a thrill to throw water around should water restrictions be im- posed by the township! We certainly need to think about water for the garden as we seem to be in a dry belt around here. Often when there is rain everywhere else we are left sitting high and dry. That was particularly true last week — rain lots of places but not enough to gcy around so we got just a sprinkle. However, the garden is growing in spite of it, Yesterday Partner put in tomato plants and next week he well likely put in a second sowing al everything. The shrubs we bought are doing fine. I am par- ticularly pleased with my "Per- sian Lilac", Leaves much smaller than the common lilac with flower spikes a lovely deep, rich mauve. We also put in a cherry tree and a harvest apple. But oh dear, what a long time it takes to get a tree established and really start growing. Trees we put in last year seem hardly to have moved at all, But still in the long run we shall likely be farther ahead than one of our neighbours and his wife. Anxious for quick results they dig up and bring home — from dear knows where — trees and shrubs much bigger ,than any We have got, They have the poor things planted inside of five minutes and in about two weeks they are dead. Last fall they moved six healthy evergreens from one side of the garden to the other. They all died. Even if a tree survives it seems to the every time it is moved a year's groWth is lost. Perhaps that does riot apply if the tree-moving job is done by experts. As we are not experts we transplant trees when they are small and then wait for them to grow, A slow peocess, it's true. but it's less heartbreaking than seeing their, Wither and die, "Only God can make a tree" but mankind can certainly do a thorough job of killing them off Upon occesien. •Childr* .K14* Saves Mer Father's Life picking up an axe, the furious farm worker crept stealthily to- pwardsor aru ythe e ,employed,. Re steweeti of the estate.,where he was tem- the steward, Twice: :8; hated,, within a few hours the man had reprimanded him for slack- These 1;e):3We'-' had enraged him so much that he deter- mined to kill the steward at the first opportunity,' His chance came when he found him during the midday break sitting with his l3-year- old daughter,, little knowing that a young man with murder, in his heart was creeping up behind him. When the young man got within striking distance, he glanced round to make• sure he, was unobserved, then aimed a blow at the steward's head. But exactly at that moment the steward's little daughter lifted up her face for a kiss. Her father bent forward to kiss her — and the axe missed his head by inches. A child's kiss had saved man's life. Dumfounded, the would-be killer fled, He was arrested an hour later. There are scores of strange and sensational stories connect- ed with kissing, For example, a Connecticut husband was granted a divorce because his wife had been "cruel" in kiss- ing him after_ she had, been kiss- 'log her pet mice! Marie, a beauty born of noble Russian parents, enjoyed kissing and encouraged men who attracted her to kiss her pro- fusely. As she grew to woman- hood, 'she acquired more and more lovers, but quickly tired of them. Then she met a young man who told her,,passionately, that her kisses were "like rare wine and much more intoxicat- ing." She eloped with him, only to begin an intrigue shortly afterwards ,with his brother, who soon ended his own life in despair 'when he found her fail- ing to respond• to his kisses. Next, unknown to her hus- band, who had persuaded her to return to 'him, she bewitch- ed with her kisses a handsome guards officer. A week later she began tiring of him and con- ceived a subtle plan to rid her- self of him. A carefully timed note in- formed her husband where she was dining with this latest lover and as she heard him approach them, she pressed her lips pas- sionately to her lover's mouth. That kiss had the effect she desired. Her husband drew his revolver and killed her lover. Even then this kiss-crazy wo- man was not content. For the sake of her kisses, an amorous lawyer embezzled his clients' money, only to be discarded in favour of a prince and a count who both found her lips irre- sistible. The count was persuaded to insure his life in her favour for $60,000. That insurance sealed his fate, The heartless Marie 'begged the prince to shoot the count whom, she alleged, had ill-treated her. The bargain with the prince was sealed with a lingering kiss and one more tragedy stood to the account of this "modern vampire," as she was called last century. One July day in 1923, Nathan Kessler — if that really was his name — lay dead in -Movarnen• - sing Prison, Philadelphia, the victim of a poisoned kiss. A tall, beautifully dressed but heavily veiled young wo- man wearing many diamonds had driven earlier to the pri- son, saying She was a relative of "Kessler!' She was permit- ted to talk to him through the bars of his cell. "What words passed between - the couple may never be known," wrote a reporter. "The prison turnkey, though Watch- ful, stood out Of earshot. "On taking leave of the con- vict, who had beeh Convicted of a theft of jewellery, the wo- man slowly lifted her veil and imprinted On the prisoner's lips a long, erdent kiss.
