Very rarely could a farmer be per- suaded to sell frontage off his property. Old timers used to say hang on to your frontage or the value of your farm will be re- duced by half. But then sub- dividers came along with attrac- tive propositions and it didn't take eime farmers long to realise they could make more money in one land deal than they could in' years• of farming. An so it goes, all Over the coun- try, particularly in Ontario.

Show him * that you are too precious • be cheap, that you come at a price so high that he must discipline himself to win you, If you weaken, do you think he would marry you? Even a boy se low would hesitate in choosing such a girl as the Mother of his children. He will only take a girl seriously who is stronger than he is, He is trying you out, as the boys say, and you can prove to him there are still fine young women in this world who keep their standards fit to live by. You can live in his memory by being the girl who would not yield. Stop seeing him, and tell him why. He is not good for you; no matter how good a man is to you, if he is not good for you, he is not for you. The finest marriages, like the finest friendships, are between people who bring out the beat in each other, • who give each other some- * thing fine to live up to. You will stay the way you are, a wonderful person in * your own right. e * PARENTS FROWN "Dear Anne Hiret: I am only 15, but I am desperately in love with a man 25. He is very good to me, and declares he is in love. But he hasn't much edu- cation, although he makes quite a bit of money. But my parents won't let us be engaged. "They object because he is divorced, and they say he is too old for me . . . I simply can't get along without him, and I won't. Don't you think my people are unfair? DISTRESSED" That you feel you cannot get along without this man proves how dangerous his friendship is. For a man with his drawbacks to try to win an inexperienced young girl does not reflect credit upon him. And how can you, at 15, know whether you are really in love? You could be dazzled by his sophistication, you know. Your parents are trying to protect you from making a mistake which could lead you into disillusion and possible disaster. You are, to my mind, in love with love, and unable to distinguish between a tem- porary and a lasting affection. If your parents consented to your being engaged now, they would be negligent indeed. It is useless to try to out- wit your parents. (At your age you cannot marry with- out their consent), To test the quality of your feelings, I urge you to stop seeing the man altogether and go with boys and girls your own age. That way, you will really find yourself. Nothing would so impress your parents with your willingness to cooperate and in such a crisis this is im- portant. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE On release from a prison farm in Burnaby, B,C., it is customary for the prison officials to give each man a small supply of "comforts." With the issue of cigarettes goes a supply of book matches. The inscription on the card- board flap of a recent issue of book matches reads: "Thank you — come again." In Sacramento, Calif., charged with passing forged checks, El- len Harris mused "I guess this ruins my plans to study cri- minology and become a police- woman." Robert Mitchum P ties Hirnsejf "The trouble is, I can't say no to these so-and-sos". Scratching his stomach and wearily manage lag his tousled scalp, actor Rob- ert Mitchum, one of the high- est-priced and most durable stars in movie history, was complain,- ing about the directors and pro- ducers who, he says, constantly dog his trail. His well-packed, 6-foot 2-inch frame, covered by corduroys and a floppy sport ehirt, lay limp in a dressing% room chair, while outside in the Irish dampness technicians read., ied the set for another take of 'A Terrible Beauty," a •movie being made near Dublin on the seemingly endless subject of the Irish Republican Army, "Why am I doing this one?" asked Mitchum, his dozing eyes briefly flickering. "I charm°. I made `The Angry Hills,' a tale about underground resistance against the Nazis, last year in Greece with producer Raymond Stross. Then I went to Holly- wood." Mitchum's angular jaw jutted forward with, for him, sudden and extravagant emotion. "Stross followed nee, the creep. He kept pestering me. Finally, one night my wife Dorothy roll- ed over in the sack at about three in the morning and said; 'Look, if you make the picture, we'll be rid of Stross,' I' said 'yeah,' so- she said, 'go ahead and do it,' so I'm here." Catching sight of a pile of scripts on a day bed, Mitchum growled at an aide.. "Get those damn things out of my sight. Right now!' The grind of movie- making — he did two last year — was clearly on its way to getting him down, "I don't even like acting," he continued. "But every time I turn around, someone calls me. The other day John Huston rang up, wondered where we were, WHAM — Shirley Topley, of Canada, left, collides with Maria Villarreal, of Chile, dur- ing women's basketball play at Chicago's Pan American games. and next thing I know, he said he'd be right over with a story. That's why I've bought a place in Trappe, Maryland. It's not so easy to reach, and the little men from MCA can't drop in on their way from the studio to the office, "I'm in this for the money.

'For all his protestations, the 42-year-old actor will soon take off for Australia for something like his 40th starring role, in "The Sundowners," a Warner Bros. epic about sheepherding Down Under, (After that: "How should I know, but you can bet they'll be after me again.")

Whether we are braver or more foolhardy than our neightbours I don't, know as most of them say they would be afraid to take a ehance. The only ones who make good use of the mushrooms are people who come to this country from Europe. In previous years we have found that Europeans definitely know their mushrooms. So, trusting in their knowledge, we are having mushrooms nearly everyday, fried in butter, spread over toast and topped with a poached egg. It makes a tasty dish, Some we give away. Well, you are now reading the words of a much annoyed wo- man. Trouble is I don't know whether to • be annoyed at myself or the weather or both. Anyway all summer I have been promis- ing myself a week in Ottawa., visiting friends end attending a convention. So what happens? A week ago I came out with a beautiful rash which is either shingles or prickly heat, Which- ever it is it has been nearly driv- ing Me crazy, Can't sleep at night or settle to anything for very long in the daytime. Apparently little can be done for it except keep the skin dry with talcum powder. Some years ago I had both prickly heat and shingles —not together, and never such a dose as I have now. So why wouldn't I be annoyed? My only consolation is that it is still hot and humid so the trip might not have been too enjoyable under those circumstances. Lam telling myself that anyway. Might as well make the best of a bad job. In the Meantime we have a little matter here that requires very special attention: We are living in an area that is strictly residential but as so often hap- pens there are • two ,yacarit lots, presumably house-building lots, waiting for buyers. Imagine our surprise then to get a letter from the local Planning Board saying that a -modest had been.received from a certain party to have Lot rezoned from residential to commercial in order that a gen- eral grocery store might be erected and operated, on the site, Homeowners are up in arms.

At first, the Sports' men, mostly Negro, and the Forsyth Street Bop, Mostly Puerto. Rican, breached a three- year truce to launch a deadly rumble in Manhattan's Lower East Side, Next, violence flared in Brooklyn and, in the Bronx, and in Samaica, where the Chap- lains, Sinners, where. and Chey- ennes fight to the death for "ter- ritorial rights." At the weekend the West Side of midtown Man- hattan erupted. The week's toll in New York City's intermina- ble teen-ago, gang wars; Four dead, At least fifteen hospitalized with serious knife, gunshot, or bludgeon wounds, Two of those slain were 16; one, 15, and a girl; one 14. Among the gang arsenals seized by police in the aftermath were zip gun s, switch - blade knives, dagger s, blackjacks, chains, lengths of iron pipe, meat cleavers, and a sword cane. Julio Rosairo, 14, was an ac- tive combatant when war broke out anew between his Forsyth Street Boys and the Sportsmen as the week began. Two days later he died ie a hospital, of knife wounds in the back. Theresa Gee was simply getting some fresh air on a doorstep when one of a fusillade of .22- caliber bullets killed her ins- tantly. Her 17-year-old slayer, leader of the Forsyth Boys, was quickly apprehended and offer- ed only one appalling excuse. "I didn't know I was shooting a girl," he said, As the week ended, Robert Young and Anthony Kerenski, both 16, were sitting with friends on a bench in an unlighted Hell's Kitchen playground after a mo- vie, when the assailants struck, yelling, "No gringos in the park," Bleeding from stab wounds, Young and Kerenski staggered to the nearby apartments of friends. Both fell dead as they crossed the thresholds. An 18- year-old companion, Ewald Ri- emer, stabbed in the abdomen, was rushed to a hospital where his condition was listed as r.,tis- factor/. Luwen, 16, was `treated at a hospital for injuries suffered when he was struck on the head with a bottle during the melee, The survivors estimated that their knife - wielding, bottle- brandishing attackers had bare. ly reached their teens.

I am glad our children were able to enjoy the little creek on our farm to their heart's content. They used to have a wonderful time. Incidentally, just recently Bob was wander- ing along the creek on our old farm and there was the biggest, mud-turtle he had ever seen. Since the farm has been taken over by the Department of Highways the unused portion has gone :back to nature. No cows or horses — or humans — to disturb •the peace so the wild creatures from the near- by woods are having a field day, Better make the most of it, you creatures of the wild.
