Something tells nue a lot of people
are not nearly particular enough
about giving correct addresses, or in
writing clearly ii, and whet, they do
give them. flow otherwise caul one
account for the amount of misdirect-
ed letters that come through the
mail?
Today we had a litter cone along
from a business firm in 'Toronto and
all the address it gave was "Mrs.
Clark" and the name of nue local
post office. No initials, no rural
route, no boli umber. Imagine .
with a name like Clarke! It had al-
ready Leen to Iwo otht•r 12rkc s in
the district. Of course I opened it—
how else could 1 be sure whether it
was for me or nen? Ilnweaer, one
look at the nature of the comntun]-
eate'u tont me that it wasn't—but
definitely, I just can't understand
any business firm allowing a lett.•r
to go out addressed merely to "Mrs.
Clarke".
Bob also gets no end of mail in-
correctly sent. to him --and with the
right initials. In his case it is the
Rama of the post office that has been
wrongly used—the difference he•-
liwOcn the two place names being only
one letter—the letter "W" which bad
been mistaken for "M". As you
know, these two letters, in longhand,
look very much alike if carelessly
written, but they can hardly be mis-

Are You A Failure
In An Emergency?
69
Are you a failure in an emer-
gency?
The time Tommy burned his
finger, the d e Janie came home
with poison ivy—were you just
helpless?
Meeting household emergencies
should be a part of every home-
maker's routine.
Take -the matter of burns. They
are divided into three classes: first,
second and third degree burns.
First degree is. a simple redden-
ing of the skin which may be
treated with butter, a 5% tannic
acid solution, or a paste made of bi-
carbonate of soda and water. There
arc several commercial jellies con-
taining S% tannic acid which it
might be wise to keep on hand.
Second degree burns are charac-
terized by oozy blisters and third
degree are those where actual char-
ring of the skin takes place. In
these, the best thing is to put the
victim to bed, cut off the cloth-
ing if necessary and,keep the pa-
tient warns with hot water bags.
The burned area may be covered
with sterile cotton saturated in
bicarbonate of soda and water.
This is cooling and easy to
remove when the doctor comes.
.A 40 -page booklet has been
prepared to help you meet
home emergencies. Chapters on

of baby, nursing contagious di-

S inclines me got (mite a hick not
of the rnt•respondrnce that comes for
Bob, Leeaus-', according to it, R.
(
lade ba; recently acquired a wife.
That mail no nuc has to open before
returning it to the post office. We
know it doesn't belong herr, since
at present, "Mrs. R. 1,, t.lart' ” Mies -
exist.
(Setting the mail is quit a chore
these days. Generally it mates along
around eleven ti Sl' . k—incidentally,
if Partner doesn't have his daily pap-
er with leis dinner he think, he might
as well not come in. But most of
this week we have born out of luck.
And how I love to walk drown the
lane to and three times for nothing,
just when the lane is knee-deep in
snow, and a colt], cold wind biting
my ears off] Apparently our mail-
man has Leen having car trouble and
one of the other couriers has been
doubling tip for hint. Naturally he
does his own regular route first.
Oh that lane! So much snow ;hat
neither cars nor trucks could plough
through it, or if they could it ws asn't
worth the effort because the tracks
would fill in again almost at once.
And here we were with two crates
of eggs to ship and a can of cream—
to say nothing of the milk that has to
go out, come wind, come weather,
first thing every morning. The boys
have had quite a time. Twice, to be
sure of getting away in the morning,
they left the car and truck at the
road all night. But the vehicles did-
n't like it They thought it was far ton
cold and lapsed into a sort of sulky
coma. Yesterday morning it was
nearly an hour before either of' -them
could be persuaded into showing any
glimmering of life. Last night they
were brought in, so this morning they
responded by being a little less cin-
tankernus.
n n „
Did you ever see such a pile of
snow? And we thought the worst
of the winter was just about over. I'll
say the groundhog knew what ite
was about a few weeks ago! That's
just the way I feel first thing in the
morning. At 5.30 a.m. I often wonder
why anyone ever thought of farming
as a means of making a living. But
after a while I feel better. Getting up
on a cold morning is like taking a
dive—once you've made the first
plunge it's all right.
Not So Lucky
The absent-minded vicar strolled
towards the village station, where
the local train had steamed up,
ready to depart. A shout came
from the platform:
"Run, sir, runt"
The vicar broke into a trot and
arrived perspiring, to be hustled
into the coach. The whistle blew
and as the train gathered speed out
of the station, tate vicar settled
himself comfortably in his seat.
"I was lucky to catch it", he said
with relief to a fellow -passenger.
Then a startled look carne on his
face. "Good gracious", he exclaim-
ed. "I don't want to go anywhere.
I came down to invite the station-
master to teal"

13y BARRY MURKAR
Oh•h•Irh nuc! I1 must lie here.
Gosh, next Sunday it will be here.
l'nt referring to spring of course.
Smell that air,
feel that sun-
shine.. Well it
really wasn't
h Lad wint-
er,sucGuess
ae 1'!1 have
to put the hick-
ories away for
another season.
I'!1 het you're so
busy cramming
for those easter exams, you hate
littletime to think of anything else.
But don't .become so engrossed with
Shakespeare and Darwin that you
fail to realize that in spring the
buds come out and a young man's
fancy turns ... and all that sort of
boSish.
It Can Be Done
nce all you guys out there seem
so perturbed about clothing going up
in price a notch, we have some more
news that might console you. With
spring almost here, you have probab-
ly been pulling last year's jackets
and slacks out of the moth balls and
wondering if they will get by for
another season. It seems to be a mis-
conception among men --especially
young men with little to jangle in
their jeans—that to dress you must
have lots of that where -with -all. No
me friendlies, apparently not. A
leading authority on men's clothes
says this: If a man or boy can afford
to [tress, he can afford to dress well.
It's a cast of selecting the proper
clothes, the "know hove of wearing
them (this is important) and an
average degree of neatness. All of
this can be done on the most modest
budget, So fellow -fellows, huy a new
tie, press those slacks and jackets
and then step out and knock 'em
flat. (yak, yak, it says here)
Have One Of Your Own
Are you one of those badminton
enthusiasts? Probably haiie to go ten
miles or ten blocks to enjoy a game
of a summer's evening and then come
home tired out. Tired from all that
going and coming. \\'ell by golly,
you don't have to. No siree, if you
have a backyard 20 by 44 you can
have your own court right at ]tome.
In selecting a spot, locate in an area
where there is no high wind, Your
friends and yourself can go -together
and purchase a regulation net with
corner stands, plus rackets and
shuttlecocks and away you go. Some
people like a concrete or asphalt
court, but you can play just as easily
on grass or bare ground. If you are
interested in your own bads -yard
court, drop us a lite and we'll send
yon the. exact dimensions and layout
of a badminton court.
Don't Watt Too Long
Those nice paying summer jobs
yott have been enjoying the past few
years are going to be scarce this
IMOD, so we would ads isc you to
get out and line cup something soon.
Don't come along after the "meaty"
jobs have been handed out, or you
will probably wind up on the end of
a broom"

Lengths Vary
The first impression you get of
the new spring suits is that jackets
are short, sometimes very short.
Most of the "name designers" and
many others show jackets waist
length or •r. little below in their early
collections. The general rule seems
to be that if the skirt is fall the
jacket is short. 12 the skirt is slim
then a bit more jacket is needed for
correct proportion of the figure.
As the season advances and more
suits appear in the stores, shoppers
find that there are many lengths and
types, too. This is fortunate, for
not [`very figure tanks well in any
one jaeltet length or cut.
