You Are The Detective
Vernon Vance, wealthy invest-
ment counsellor, is exclaiming
loudly to you on the burglary
that has Just taken place in his
offices. "That scoundrel surely
must have been fast on his feet,"
Vance tells you. "I was alone
here in my private olMce this
morning....none of my em-
ployes had arrived yet. Sudden-
ly I heard some suspicious sound
coming from the outer office,
and I jumped up fronrmy chair
and went .out immediately to in-
vestigate....but there was no one
there. Then I heard the sound
of running feet, and I threw open
the door to the corridor. -,but
lengthy though the corridor is,
the intruder had already disap-
peared....probably down the
stairway at the other end of the
corridor."
You turn to look at the other
two persons who have followed
you this morning into Vance's
private office - the white-faced
secretary, Mary Peters, and the
young bookkeeper, Jack Ireton,
who is lumping heavily on a -
heavy-lookingcane clutched
tightly in his right hand.
"It must have been someone
who Anew about the heavy a-
' mount of cash we were keeping
in the safe," volunteers Jack
Ireton.
"I was much earlier than usual
this morning," says Vance. "I
unlocked the safe when I arrived
....I had to get out some impor-
tant pipers to work on. I sup-
pose it was very careless of me
to leave the door of the safe
open while I was in my aloe,
but I was expecting Mile Peters
and Ireton to arrive soon....they
both knew I was coming to the
office early and was eager to
complete an important trans-
action. We've never had any-
thing like this happen before....
more than a thousand dollars
--gone!"
You examine the inside of the
littered safe, then turn back to
the two employees.
"It's • dreadful thing," ex-
claims Mary Peters. "If only I
had arrived a tittle earlier, this
wouldn't have happened....Mr.
Vance was phoning you when I
came into the office.... not eve
minutes after the robber es-
caped."
"What's wrong with your
leg?" you ask Jack Ireton, nod-
ding
odding your head at his heavily -
bandaged left ankle.
"Abad 'sprain while I wasski-
ing last week -end," he replies.
"Well, I suspect that you can
still move much faster than you
have indicated," you then state.
At present, Ireton, you're my
Number One suspect!"
Why do you suspect Jack Ire-
ton?

Fresh air holidays for hay fern
By Mary Jane Charters
Some people get it when all
those kids at Hallowe'en drag
their feet through fallen leaves.
And there are others who should
stay away from Christmas trees.
but the most ubiquitous villain is
a weedy -looking herb that's
never been near a salad. In Latin
its first name is "ambrosia", a
misnomer if ever there was one.
Millions' of North Americans
who itch, sneeze, cough, have
seeping eyes and wheeze away
hours at doctors' offices getting
shots at varying times of the year
call it ragweed.
Hay fever sufferers can't rake
their leaves - running through
them disturbs spores that de-
velop under dead leaves, the kind
of spores that cause problems.
They can celebrate Christmas
around an artificial tree and they
can take their holidays in Canada
where the pollen count is zero or
close to it itt many��farea*. /
Trees, grass, different kinds Of
weeds and spores may produce
the usual distressing symptou$1,
but ragweed, because of it* Spe-
cific toxic qualities and *M
dance, is the bane of the greatest
number of sufferers, according to
researchers at the Plant Re,
search Institute, Canada Agri-
culture.
There are three species of
ragweed in Canada: common
variety known to every province;
giant or great ragweed, occur•
ring most frequently in southOrn
Manitoba ; and the perennial or
western ragweed, least common
of the species, which waves its
annoying leaves in prairie pas-
tures. The perennial has also
been found in Ontario and
Quebec.
But there is relief. When the
ragweed pollen air -index hits 38
in southwestern Ontario, 54 in

A recent issue of Esquire in a
satirical article about the ridicu-
lous cost of raising a youngster
today, warns that if you buy that
youngster a dog, you should
expect to pay at least $200 for him
when you take hits home as a
pup; that he will cost you -up to
$250 a year for his calories and
vitamins and that your annual
veterinarian fees will be around
$75. That's if he doesn't have to
.undergo any major surgery or
hospitalization, I take it. A dog
with , serious health problems
could cost much more than that.
Sum this all up for a life span of
131/2 years, which is about par for
the canine species and you'll
discover that to raise that dog in
the way that the dogfood compa-
nies, the vets and the more seri-
ous pet lovers say that he should
be raised will cost you over
$4,500. Which is considerably'
more than it cost to keep the
average Canadian child. through
131/2 years a couple of generations
ago.
And Esquire didn't bother to
point out that if you are really de-
termined to give your pet the
best, you should be prepared to
go considerably beyond the bare
essentials of food and veterinary
care. Last Saturday's issue of the
Montreal Gazette for instance,,
carried a .perfectly serious fea-
ture article listing in detail some
of the many other tokens of love
you might bestow on your dog or
cat, and provides a sort of Con-
sumers' Guide as to where these
services may be obtained. There
is • a dog beauty salon which,
though it originally catered to
poodles exclusively, will now ac-
cept other breeds for bathing,
clipping, grooming and hair styl-
ing. No price is mentioned by
these posh people, but a competi-
tor who calls herself a, "dog
beauty specialist" says that she
will groom a miniature dog for ,1
about $13.00.
You should also send your dog
to sehool if you really care about
him, says this article, and
Montreal has at least two
obedience schools which offer
eight weeks of Obedience Train-
ing for only $20. It is understood,
of course, that you do most of the
training yourself after the trainer
trains you. Toronto has, for many
years now, had a dog psycholo-
gist if your canine,pupil shouldn't

whew the pollen count is ,twice as
high,is between August 15 and
September 4.
British Columbia is one of the
safest places to go fob ragweed
sufferers: Vancouver, Yoho and
Glacier National Parke, and
Prince George (and most other
centres in the .province) record a
pollen level of 0:0. Almost all of
Alberta is free of ragweed pollen
with the poesible exception of the
southeast. Jasper, Banff, Cal-
gary and Edmonton all have
readings of 0.0.
Sufferers can breathe easily in
Saskatchewan except in the
extreme south where burweed,
marsh elder and poverty weed
grow. In Manitoba, Riding Moun-
tain National Park at 0.2; and the
north of the province, are spared
ragweed. But stay away from
agricultural districts of the Red
River Valley where the giant
species is prevalent.
Northern Ontario, north of
North Bay, is another retreat
from ragweed, but southern
Ontario is heavily polluted espe-
cially between August 15 and
September 15. Haliburton, a
resort area, is 1.9; Timmins in
the north i5 0.2 and Thunder Bay
at the head of Lake Superior is a
sneezeless 0.1. •
The Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec
has undergone a ragweed eradi-
cation campaign - now the
pollen air index is 0.2 or less. The
Lake St. John area, the Lauren-
tians north of Montreal, and
northern Quebec, are also pollen -
free. Hay fever seasons in
southern Quebec are similar to
those in southern Ontario.
The Atlantic provinces have
little ragweed except in the
Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia.
But even here it doesn't cause
serious problems. In Newfound-
land, researchers have recorded
only a trace of ragweed pollen.:

Petite, well'preportioneed or
abundantly endowed, Canadian
women have Oita thing in
miniumfrom the waist down
pantyhose* snags and. bags. If
you're still trying to find the
elusive brand that fits you, feels
comfortable and wear#, well,
check the June issue of Canadian
Consumer, for test results :on 16
`brands of one -size pantyhose sold
in Canada.
Only one brand, 'L'eggs', lived
up to its claim. It fitsall figure
sizes comfortably, but, it didn't
rate so well for touch and ap-
pearance in the wear trial.
Cheaper brands will perform
favorably on certain figure types.
CAC recommends as acceptable
for medium and large figure
types, 'Whisper', `Simpsons -
Sears', `Petite Belle', `Young
Flair' and 'Maybelle', in that
order. For figures with long legs,
`Secret', 'Fair Set', and `Zellers';
and for small figures with short
legs, `Bonimart' and 'The Very
Thing'. 'Eve', `Chorine', 'Lob -
laws', and 'Jewel' were consid-
ered poorer in fit and comfort
while `Miracle Mart' brand was
found to be unacceptable for all
sizes,
Frustrating for CAC's testing
department, and likewise for
shoppers, are the fancy packages
that tell next to nothing about
what's inside. CAC feels it would
be helpful to consumers if labels
told about sheerness, reinforce-
ment, type of waist as well as size
and color.
Also needed is agreement over
terminology so that terms such
as Nude, Sheer, Stretch, and
One -Size -Fits -All have definite
and precise meanings. As of
Deceber 1972, the Textile
Labelling Act has required that
pantyhose labels indicate fibre
content and identity of manufac-
turer or distributor.
British Redcoats march
again at Old Fort Henry
The roll of drums, the sound of
fifes, the echo of cannon fire, and
the military commands, are
presently being heard throughout
the stone greywalls of Old Fort
Henry.
The fort is a product of the War
of 1812, between the U.S. and Bri-
tain. It was realized that the town
of Kingston, commanded a
strategic position along the St.
Lawrence River: The present tort
was completed in 1836. It fell into
disrepair until restoration began
in 1936. First opened as a tourist
attraction in 1938, it is now re-
puted as being one of Canada's
most detailed and impressive
military spectacles.
The present fort stands high on
a promontory at the junction of
the St. Lawrence and Cataraqui
YOUR HANDWRITING TELLS
Tall t's, d's
show her pride
By DOROTHY ST.. JOHN
JACKSON
Certified Master
Graphoanalyst
Dear Dorothy:
I come from an extremely
proud family and have always
taken pride in my own. Re-
cently, some events in my
family, which have been en-
tirely beyond my control,
have caused me to lose my
complete sense of pride. I am,
naturally, an outgoing person,
enjoy entertaining, and love
to be with people. Now, all I do
is stay in the house. I never go
out anymore because I'm
ashamed to even walk down
the street.
T. L.
Dear T.L.:
Seems you're putting your
best foot - backward. Few
families are exempt from un-
fortunate "events."
If everyonewho felt the
"sting" became a victim of
broken pride, there'd be a lot
of miserable "shut-ins."
The moderately tall is and
d's do mark your pride - call-
ing for respect and recogni-
tibn for what you are person-
ally. Yet, ironically, you are
bringing about your own
degradation.
You are punishing yourself
for something - beyond your
control, seen in the t crossing
swung to the left. The actions
of someone else are causing
you to hide from life, because
you fear the shadow it might
cast -4f you walk down the
street.
In trying to defend your
status, you talk and complain.
and whine, seen ,in the com
bination of your open top a's
and o's, your slanted t cross-
ings and the drooping word
endings. But, more than that,
you magnify all the little un-
pleasant details way out of
proportion, seen in the closely
dotted is and the large loop on
Y.
If what happened was truly
beyond your control, then
clear your conscience imme-
ately. Continue to entertain
and keep active with the peo-
ple you love._ TM,
As you fear the poisoned
darts, know that the familiar
old skeleton lives in nearly
everyone's closet. But better
to have it there than following
you wherever you go.
