Fresh New Faces For Your Rooms It's that time of year again when we are gently motivated to giving our rooms fresh new faces. Of course, there are many ways of doing this, from perky new slipcovers to com- pletely new decorative schemes but one of the quickest, least expensive and most rewarding ways is to treat your walls to an imposing wallpaper mural, A mural, used on one or more walls, can give a room a fabulous air. Because of their size and scope, murals always make a distinct and vital con- tribution to a room's atmos- phere. When a room calls for a fo- cal point, murals are the solu- tion. Should a room need depth, a design with perspec- tive will provide it. Murals can add sophistication or a touch of the light-hearted on a bold scale. No need to think in terms of using this type of decor in the living room only because they are designed to be used in many areas - from halls to kitchens, dining rooms to powder rooms. Selecting the right design for your room's decoration is real- ly easy - just decide on the mood you want to achieve. For a wall with a view, sel- ect one of the many beautiful scenics - from sea scapes, to mountains, to a RiViera vista, there is a pattern to set the at- mosphere. If it's a traditional setting you want to create you can choose from Spanish, Col- onial or classical themes. • AN ENTRANCE HALL is often the perfect spot to hang a restful scenic wallpaper mural. The countryside scenic, its fresh spring waterfall and mountain vista, provides interest and depth to an otherwise bland wall area. The mural is a four panel design, 8 feet wide. Called "Waterfall" paper is ready pasted and fully trimmed easy application—vinyl bonded, fadepr..., and washab, for easy maintenance - Canadian Wallpaper Mfrs, Ltd.

FORD RALPH, Managing 'Director, ONTARIO TENDER FRUIT INSTITUTE, THE QUEENSWAY, TORON- TO 15, ONTARIO, Phone 251-1371 Dear Ann Landers; I'm so mad at that college creep who wrote to complain about dull letters from home that I can't see straight, She signed her letter "Tired Of Reading Nothing," This is my third year away at college, Mother and dad were divorced when I was a senior in high sohool. Dad re- married almost immediately and I never hear from him except at Christmas, Mother plans to be married in a few months, She has always been too busy, too confused and dis- organized to write. I am filled with envy when I see girls in the dorm rush to the mail box and return with letters from home, Sometimes When I get a bill or an adver- tisement, I put it in my pocket and pretend it's a letter from mom or dad - to be read "later," I hope the parents of that ar- rogant snob recognizes her let- ter and give her a •diet of no mail for a few months. She'll be begging for details about Aunt Edna's dental work and asking if the broken street light on the corner has been replaced, Believe me. I know.- EMPTY MAIL BOX. Dear E. M.: Thanks for writing, And I hope your par- ents will recognize YOUR let- ter, 0-0-0 Dear Ann Landers: The fact that I'm writing to Ann Lan- ders is so incredible that I can scarcely believe it. You are young enough to be my daugh- ter, but I trust your advice. I am 73, a widow of means, and very lonely, I've been go- ing with a 40-year-old man who is grand company and makes a fine appearance al- though he has no visible means of support. He claims to be living on a modest inheritance. He goes with other women also, but they are his own age. This man wants to marry me and admits that my money is a factor. There have been mo- ments When I've said to myself, "Why not? What is money for?" He treats me nicely and it would be worth a great deal to live out my remaining years happily. What do you say?- VALLEY OF INDECISION, Dear V,: If you want to Live out your remaining years hap- pily, don't get tangled up With a fortune bunter-and 33 years your junior yet: You can bet Your diamond tiara, madame, that he would continue to see ,those other wo- men and you would be the ob- ject of ridicule and pity. 0-0-0 Dear Ann Landers: My wife and I took our four children to visit her folks who live on a and fIarwmas WWgleadare ocuirty p eople youngsters would get a chance to see wholesome, c:ose-to-the-soil My father-in-law and I went to town to get some supplies. When we returned our six-year- old son greeted me with the proud announcement that he and a neighbour boy had "drowned a kitten in the stream." I got sick when he recounted the details of how they pushed the kitten's head under water and finally hit him with a rock "until he didn't fight back any more." My wife turned to me and said, "Don't lose your temper Bill, I've a:ready toed Martin that he shouldn't have done it." Martin hid behind his mother but I dragged him out to the barn and gave him a dozen whacks across the bottom and a 15 minute lecture on killing living creatures. When I returned to the house my wife and her family were furious. They said it was only a cat and that I was a monster. I'd like your opinion. Was I too hard on the boy?-TRUAX FIELD. Dear Truax: No. In fact I think he got off too easy. He should have lost all privileges for at least a week. I hope you informed the neighbor boy's parents of his participation in that brutal and unspeakable act. They sihould know about it. In the meantime keen an eye on Martin. If he shows sadistic tendencies in the future I sug- gest you take him to a doctor. o--o--o All letters or requests should be addressed to Ann Landers, c/o Advance-Times, Wingham.

To Assemble in Goderich Over the past J.5 years Mr. and Mrs. Len Geddes have travelled some 15,000 miles in attending assemblies of Jeho- vah's Witnesses. This week- end, April 29 to May 1, they will be delegates to the three- day assembly being held in God- each. The main feature of the as- sembly will come on Sunday when Clare Statton, district su- pervisor, will speak to an ex- pected audience of 500 persons on the subject, "Does God Have Influence in This Twen- tieth Century?" "At these assemblies we come to appreciate that God's kingdom is the only means by which peace can come to all mankind," said Mr. Geddes. He continued by saying, "Je- hovah's Witnesses believe God's kingdom to be a real govern- ment, not just something in the hearts of men. We believe that now is the time when all na- tions must recognize God's kingdom to be the greatest power in the universe and sur- render to it or be crushed by it." All activity in the local Kingdom Hall serving this area will be cancelled during the week to enable all to complete plans to attend the assembly. ATTEND CONFERENCE IN ST.
