Thursday, Vic. 99, 1.966 features from The World of . Women ome and The Housewife Officers and conveners named at annual meeting Dear Ann Landers: I have al-; ways enjoyed your column and appreciated your advice, NOW it is my turn to reciprocate. I have some advice for you and your readers, Are you planning on buying a pool table? Well, forget it. We bought one six months ago and my wife and I haven't had a decent night's sleep since. Seven nights a week people are in our basement, We can't even get through dinner before someone rings the doorbell. They all say the same thing, "We are NOT company. 'We just want to shoot a little pool. You and Molly can go to bed when- ever you feel like It." These "non - guests" never think to bring their own refresh- ments. We can't keep a bottle of beer or a soft drink in the house. The same goes for po- tato chips and cigarettes. We can't even get into our own bathroom when we want to. My wife and. I have decided that the only way out of this miserable trap is for us to get rid of the table and go to a pool parlor when we feel like play- ing. So this is my advice, Ann Landers. I hope you and your readers take it—MOLLY AND M.E. Dear Friends: I'm no pool player, but it seems to me that if I were, I'd make it clear to those who dropped in uninvited that we were not running a re- creation centre and to go find a billiard parlor. * * * Dear Ann Landers: What can a girl 14 years old do when her mother hates all her friends? Mary is too tall. Peggy is too fat. Rosanna has a terrible com- plexion. Nancy's parents are divorced. Jenny's sister has a bad reputation. Ellen's grand- mother drinks, Karen's father is a bookie, I have changed the actual names of my friends but the facts are all correct. My mother has picked out three girls she would like me to associate with. 'They are all from rich families and their fathers are doctors. She says that the way to get ahead in the world is to "set your sights high." I have told her that a person just can't go up to a girl and say, "I'd like to go with you." My mother says the way to get in good with people is to invite them to your house and be friendly. Ann, I would feel like a fool doing this, especially if I got turned down, I like my friends and I think my mother is being very unfair. Please tell me how to get her off my back.—TIRED. Dear Tired: If your mother is actually opposed to your friends on the grounds you de- scribed, I can't say much for her values. You sound like a level-headed , girl and I hope you'll continue to judge people by what they are—not by what they have or what their fathers do for a liv- ing. * * Confidential to M. I. 2 Cri- tical?: Yes, you are. It's how HE feels about the toupee that counts. A mature man does not become preoccupied with his baldness nor does he become de- pressed about it, If a rug makes your friend feel better, lay off the lame jokes and let him en- joy It. • • • Confidential to Very Doubt- ful: Forget it. It probably means nothing. * * * All letters or requests should be addressed to Ann Landers, c/o Advance-Times, Wingham. They are forwarded from this office unopened. Be sure to en- close a long, self - addressed stamped envelope and the neces- sary coinage for the booklet requested. THE TRUE JOY OF CHRISTMAS The sunshine of Christmas Is glowing in my heart, Its joy is very real to me For Christ is all, not part. He came to show "His Father's Love" To all the human race, He came to live His Father's Life, And die in your stead and place. His "Majesty Divine" irnpells me on To His blest home above, Until He comes I'll serve Him here With an undying love. " May you at Christmas know the joy That He came to impart, That He may live life's little day, Engraven on your heart. --Etta Stainton.

Mink Has Joined The Youth Wave Once the preserve of actress- es and wealthy matrons, mink is today as modem as Mod. Not that you're likely to find a college girl sporting a full- length classic mink coat. She prefers the "little furs" - far more affordable, better suited to her day-to-day needs. One Canadian mink crafts- men has come up with a versa- tile mink rope which can be worn as a belt, a bracelet, a choker, a hairband or anything else the imagination decrees. Bibs are back - and not for babies. The simple mink bib tucked inside a suit or an open- collared coat wards off winter winds and frames the face in silky fur. Mink hats are making the scene in a big way. This fall and winter the mink jockey cap is expected to wow the youth brigade. More than a dozen different natural colors of mink are pro- duced by the Canada Mink Breeders Association. Ranging • from brown-black Dark Ranch through distinct tones of beige, blue, lavender to purest white, the colors combine with mink's extremely supple and light- weight nature to give full scope to the fashion designers who set the pace for the youth wave. Buying the Christmas turkey Large size turkeys, 1$ pounds and over should be a good buy this Christmas. Usually the price per pound is less when you buy a large bird. Here are some tips to keep in mind when buying the turkey. Allow an average of 0/4 pound of ready-to-cook turkey per serving. For example, a 16-pound bird should give approximate- ly 22 servings or enough second helpings for 11 hungry adults. A family of four could buy a turkey of 10 to 12 pounds or have a large turkey cut in half. If one has the freezing space, the other turkey half could be wrapped and frozen for another occasion. The grade mark is on the breast of whole birds and is printed either on a metal tag, insert or on the transparent plastic bag. A different color is used to designate each grade. Canada Grade A, with the red tag, is most commonly sold. The "Canada Approved" stamp appears only on poultry slaughtered and eviscerated in fed- erally inspected plants. It means that the turkey is wholesome and fit to eat. Food shopping hints win at Royal Ontario housewives completed more than 1,600 questionnaires while visiting the exhibit of the Ontario Food Council, at the Roy- al Agricultural Winter Fair. A summary of their answers to 16 questions will soon be available. The special prize for the best comment and methods of cutting family food costs went to Mrs. Peggy Tyson, Toronto, who sug- gested that consumers should buy nutritious foods and follow Can- ada's Food Guide; compare prices regularly and shop with a slide rule; make their own soups, stews, baked beans, and cakes, and refuse to buy premixed and convenience foods; buy cheaper cuts of roast beef which can be used in so many ways, and mix pow- dered milk, bought in bulk, with ordinary milk for drinking and use the powdered skim milk for cooking. Mrs. Tyson considers that the right of Canadians to eat proper- ly is as the right of freedom of speech. Therefore, she feels the food industry should not be allowed to make excessive profits on the sale of food. Nor do they have any right to force consumers to pay for gimmicks and other commodities while buying food, or increase the cost of food needlessly by excessive advertising and promotion. Mrs. Tyson also feels that• every effort should be made to maintain and develop a truly Canadian canning industry, as she sees no reason why profits earned by selling food to Canadians should go to a foreign country.
