Dear Ann Landers: Your ad-
vice to the young man whose
fiancee was crippled in a car
accident was excellent, You
recognized the unmistakable
tone of martyrdom in his letter
and told him, "Do yourself AND
the girl a favor and forget
about marriage. You do not
have the maturity to make the
marriage work."
Three years ago (I was 20
at the time) I was injured in
an accident. Ten months later
the doctor told me I had reach-
ed maximum recovery, which
meant I had to spend the rest
of my life in leg braces and
on crutches.
The most wonderful man in
the world came along after the
accident. The feeling of help-
lessness and the embarrassment
in being a cripple went out the
window forever. I never think
of myself as handicapped any-
more. Now I feel doubly bless-
ed to have won such a marvel-
ous man,
Tell the girl to wait—that her
reward will be far greater when
the right man comes along. He
will sweep her off her feet—
crutches and all.—ONE WHO
KNOWS.
Dear One: What magnificent
spirit you have! Small wonder
you attracted that marvelous
man. You soun'l oratty mar-
velous yourself, Girl. Thank you
for writing.
Dear Ann Landers: The let-
ter from the girl who couldn't
bring herself to be examined
by a male physician was inter-
esting to me because my own
views are so different. I believe
my attitudr, reflects a healthy
upbringing by wholesome, clean
minded parents. I hope you'll
print my letter so other par-
ents may learn from it.
When I was 13 I had to have
a complete examination by our
family doctor. It was the first
time since I was a small child
that I had to appear nude be-
fore a physician. When I show-
ed up at his office I was shy
and apprehensive, I was usher-
ed into a room by a nurse and
told to undress, Five minutes
later the nurse returned with
some sort of diaper-halter ar-
rangement. I thought I'd die of
embarrassment during that ex-
amination, The doctor kept
shifting that darned thing
around and finally I said, "Why
don't you just take it off? It's
a nuisance."
To this day (I'm middle-aged
now) I would just as soon not
be bothered with that awkward
covering-up stuff, but some
nurse invariably hands me a
sheet or a robe, a cape, or
what ever. Why?—BUTTE.
Dear Butte: Because most
people feel better with a sheet,
a robe, a cape, or whatever.
This doesn't necessarily mean
they are less wholesome.
Better to supply a semi-cover-
up for those who might want it
than to have nothing on hand
and add to the discomfort of a
patient who might not wish to
be stark naked.
Dear Ann Landers: I gradu-
ated from high school last
spring and went to work in a
wonderful office. Everyone
treats me great and I feel aw-
fully lucky even though I am
the youngest around by 10
years. My problem will probab-
ly sound childish but it is
causing me sleepless nights
and it is getting worse.
I blush at the least little
thing, and when I say blush, I
mean beet red. I want to die
when someone says, "What on
earth are you blushing about?"
It happens two and three times
a day now and I am getting so
I avoid talking to people. Can
I be hypnotized out of this silly
habit? Please help me.—ROSY.
Dear Rosy: Cheer up, Girl.
You've got a great gift and you
don't appreciate it! A blush
does not detract from a young
lady. it makes her more appeal-
ing and infinitely more inter-
esting. Be glad you can blush.
Most girls can't.

Col. Jack Davies, chair-
man of the Amateur Athletic
Union of the Canada Hall of
Fame announced last week that
Mrs. William F. Campbell,
formerly Betty Taylor and a
member of the famed Hamil-
ton Olympic Club, has been
one of four Canadians elected
to the Canada Hall of Fame.
The Taylor family at one
time lived in Wingham. Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Taylor
came from Ingersoll in 1918
and Mr. Taylor operated a
fertilizer plant here for some
years. Their five children,
Jessie, Bill, Nancy, Margaret,
and Betty were constant win-
ners in local track and field. A ,
meets while attending Wing-
ham schools.
Neighbors honor
Nelson Pickells
WHITECHURCH-- Friends
and neighbours of Mr. and Mrs.
Nelson Pickell, who recently
sold their farm and bought a
home in Teeswater, gathered
at the Masonic Hall to honor
them on Saturday evening.
Progressive euchre was play-
ed. There were nine tables of
players.
At the lunch hour Mrs. Les-
ter Falconer read an address
and Art Ernewein and Bill Cas-
lick presented them with a
step table, lamp and ash tray.
Mr. and Mrs. Pickell thank-
ed the gathering and extended
an invitation to all to visit
them in their home in Tees-
water.
Lunch was served to about
40 people.
Christmas is a time of giv-
ing; a time for sharing the joy
and good wishes of the season
with family and friends. It is
a magical time for children
and adults alike. For many
families, it is also a time for
working magic to stretch the
budget over a long gift list.
To be a Christmas magician,
you need first a bag of tricks--
a cotton bag that began its
career as a container for flour
or feed. That's the bag of
many tricks. It can become a
clever toy for a child, a pretty
apron for a friend, a set of
table mats for a new bride, or
a wall decoration for your own
home. It can be anything you
wish to sew and costs only the
time and trimmings.
When children are tucked
into bed, or sent off to school
for the day, you might turn
your thoughts to a doll house
gift, guaranteed to delight
little girls. Both printed and
plain cotton bags can be used
to create a charming Colonial
room.
Use a light-weight wooden
box for the frame and cover
the outside with solid-colour
bag fabric. The "wallpaper"
intl.& can be either a checked
The family later moved to
Hamilton where Betty set a
new record when she won the
intermediate 60-yard hurdles
in the Canadian track and
field championships, while run-
ning her first race in 1930.
She was given special permis-
sion to enter the intermediate
class as there was no junior
hurdles event. The competi-
tion took place during the week
of the British Empire Games in
Hamilton and Miss Taylor re-
ceived favorable comment on
her style from members of the
British team.
In 1932 80-metre hurdles
were introduced in Canada.
Betty Taylor placed second in
the Canadian'champfonships
and Olympic trials. " Babe" Ded-
