How To Kick That
Smoking Habit
For the heavy smoker who
wants to quit, there's 'simply no
substitute for will power. That's
the stern word from an author-
ity en the subject, Dr, C. J. van
Proosdij, a Dutch internist who
has written a comprehensive and
dispassionate book e n t i t l e d
"SMoking" and its medical rami-
"Smoking,"
There is no easy road to mod-
eration. The various pills, drugs,
and sweets Which smokers buy
to help them kick the nicotine
habit, Dr. van Proosdij says, are
only as good as a smoker's "sin-
cerity of wish to give up smok-
ing" and "willingness to pay the
price." Even the price—the nico-
tine withdrawal symptoms of
indigestion, dry mouth, headache,
hunger, constipation, giddiness,
and lead s temper which plague
smokers during the first few
weeks of abstention—is largely
subjective, he says. The smoker
who really events to give up
smoking suffers the least.
Is there, then, no practical
way for the average smoker to
`I ease the pangs of giving up to-
bacco?
Dr. van Proosdie has one at-
tractive suggestion; Take a vaca-
tion. "Tobacco to .the habitual
smoker is an integral part of his
routine activities," he asserts.
"The businessman accustomed to
smoke at his meetings, the sur-
geon who always lit up a cigar-
ette immediately after having
performed an operation . . will
sorely miss the indulgence if
everything goes on as usual ex-
cept their smoking „ e Holidays
are the best time to carry out a
resolve to give up smoking with-
out being constantly and pain-
fully reminded of it,"
Modern Etiquette
By Anne Ashley
Q. If the wedding is so small
that eniraved invitations are
considered unnecessary, Is o w
should the invitations be sent?
A. Personally-written invita-
tions may be sent by the bride.
Q. I attended a bridal shower
and now find that I have been
omitted from the guest list at
the wedding. Don't you think
this is a rudeness?
A, Yes, Since you were one
of the persons who wee e
thoughtful enough to give gifts
to the bride at the shower, you
should have been invited.
,Let's start this column with a
smile. Here's why. My young
friend Marian, like a good many
other girls, loves to talk on the
telephone. Her husband, how-
ever, doesn't take too kindly to
this habit of hers so Marian tries
to keep her telephone conversa-
tions confined to such times that
Fred is out. But it can't always
be arranged that way. One Sat-
urday Fred, after shovelling
snow for about an hour came
into the house for a rest period,
only to find Marian engaged in
an animated telephone conversa-
tion from which she seemed un-
able to break away. Finally she
did, only to hear her spotise say
in disgust — "So help me, when
you die I'll see to it that you
have a telephone installed in
your casket. You'd never rest
easy without it!"
Here is another one. Our
niece Betty and her husband left
Sudbury last week for a few
days in Toronto where George
was attending a business con-
vention, At that time we were
enjoying warm, balmy days in
this part of Ontario, just the op-
posite from the North country,
Betty didn't stop to compare
weather conditions so she ar-
rived in Toronto wearing a fur
coat,' a wool dress and fur lined
boots. Her only change in foot-
wear was a pair of loafers and
as she only intended putting in
time at Dee's place she didn't
even bring another dress. They
were here last night and poor
Betty was sweltering. But that
wasn't the only problem. It is
two years since George drove
around Toronto. Since the' there
have been many changes —
streets shut off, others design-
ated as one-way streets and va-
rious confusing signs along the
highway showing motorists
which road to take into Toronto
— that is, via the Lakeshore, the
Gardiner Express War or inside
lanes for Parkside Drive -which
is where they wanted to go, I
can't remember all the wrong
turns they made but George got
himself so hopelessly snarled up
he found himself anywhere but
where he wanted to go and
drove about twenty nines out of
his way, even as far as the
Kingsway. And George, I might
add, is an experienced driver.
I-tow lucky can you get? Sat-
urday night we were not paying
too much attention to the wea-
ther — too busy watching TV
hockey — Leafs -Versus Detroit
— wasn't that a game? Then it
started to storm -- rain end
gale-forte winds. It hit the back
of our house with a terrific
blast: awnings rattled htcl a
singing sound canto through the

to see if water was seeping in.
Up ,to bedtime it was all right
but we kept our fingers crossed
as the lights were-dipping — and
if the hydro went off that meant
baling out water by hand from
the sump pit. However, we went
to bed after putting flashlights
handy and candles on the kitch-
en table. We prayed for the best
but we were not too hopeful —
not after listening to radio re-
ports of flooding conditions at
villages along the Credit River
only about fifteen miles from
here.
Sunday morning — what a
change . , bright sunshine,
ground comparatively dry and
no wind. The only thing to make
us realize we had had a near
miss was the ice on the trees,
But were they ever pretty!
Speaking of trees, all this win-
ter rabbits have shown great re-
spect for our trees and shrubs.
but now, with spring only weeks
away they have started nibbling

have been babying along for
three years, Partner itemediate-
ly took steps to protect it, The
rabbits, thwarted from nibbling
their favourite shrub, next at-
tacked our honey locust. So
Partner went to work on that.
It is hard to know what, to do
for the best. Last year Partner
wrapped every young tree and
shrub with tor paper but in the
spring we lost two lovely forsy-
thia bushes. Partner thought it
was because they were too pro-
tected and did not get enough
sun arid air. Seems YOu just
can't win,
Well, this is . Roes's fourth

erations — but nothing to what
there would have been had Jerry
been around. Last Friday night
Art and the three boys were
here while Dee was attending a

morning Dee phoned to ask if I

"Turandot" was 'Puccenre Wet
opera. He died before' he fin-
ished it, and the work was com-
pleted by Franco Alfano, an Ob.-
Iscure composer now _remember-,
led only .because he wrote the
!opera's last duet and finale. For
'the duet, .Alfano worked from
pipe very rough sketches left
by the composer, and for the
dipale he reprised some of the
'opera's most beautiful melodies.
When Arturo Toscanini con-
Id.ucted the world premiere of
:"Turandot" at La Seale in 1926,
he stopped the orchestra when
he came to that part of the
score Which Puccini had coin-
ipleted, Turning to the audience,
lie said: "At this point the maes-
tro laid down his pen." The . next
night "Turandot" was given with
'the Alfano ending. •
It was a wonder that the Met's,
new "Turandot" ever reached
'the stage at all. Just .a month
