Have on ever talcen a letter
from your mail -box, looped it over
anti wondered what manner of news
is under that sealed flap? (hoe
minute its cnrlalts are a mystery,
the next, by breaking the seal, you
find,..what? Ali yes, so many
things. Good news, bad news, or
lust ordinary family gossip. You
know — su an(I-so has had a baby
. Uncle 'Tout has sold his farm..
Cousin Jean is getting married next
month. Yes, that envelope can
hide shocks, pleasant surprises or
lust plain fancily news. But .when
you get a letter that you Know is
Important, don't you sometimes feel
scared to open it? You are so
hoping the news will be good, on
the other hand you have reason to
fear it may be back
51 k 4,
That is how I felt twice last
week. You remember I had news
that a friend of ours in England was
to visit us this summer. Well, a few
days later cause another letter, from
the same friend, That was the one
that scared me. Partner said —
"Another letter from Cicely — I
suppose she isn't coming." Fearfully
I slit the seal just a title bit — I
couldn't bear the thought of bad
news at one full blast. Peelcing, I
read the first line — "prepare for a
shock 1,.." "Oh dear, sheisn't conn-
ing." I almost wailed. "Well, open it
up — let's find out what it's all
about," urged Partner. So I opened
it — and it wasn't as bad as I
feared, Cicely is still corning but not
to stay a year as was her original
intention. The reason — and I
quote from the letter "England is
so desperately short of experienced
teachers that if I retire this year I
feel I should be running away from
work that needs to be done..,so I
have decided to visit Canada just
for the summer holidays and back
to my job in September,"
Then there was a letter from my

brother. Generally his wife does
the writing so 1% lien 1 saw brother
Eddie's writing 1 wondered if any-
thing was wrong. You will under-
stand why when I tell you that as
far as I knew his young son was
still in Jerusalem. Ilan 1 needn't
have worried -- my nephew is out
of the army and everything was
fine, except my brother said — "11
you don't want to read some very
bad language don't ask me what 1
think of the Lahonr government!"
* * *
Well, that is as far as I got last
Friday. Then I hall a call to go to
Toronto. I had a busy time. Shop-
ping Friday afternoon, It meeting
that night — the real purpose of
my trip — more shopping next
horning and a trip downtown to
see Barbara Ann. And I really
saw her — and 511e is just as sweet
and charming as the best of her
press photographs snake her appear.
Not only that, I saw her crazy little
hall The Crowd was terrific. At
first I was right on the outside and
couldn't see a thing. Then as others
came behind me I was pushed along
until I was right in front of the
City Hall steps with Barbara Ann
directly in my line of vision. It
was hard to realize that such a
dainty little lady had had the skill
and 'perseverance to bring so much
honour to her country.
After the ceremony the
crowd pushed me along down to
one of the t'epartntent stores
— honestly, I didn't take one
step of my own volition. I had
lunch 011 the seventh floor of the
store. When I came out only two
elevators were working and they
couldn't begin to accomodate
the crowd so I got my after-dinner
exercise by walking clown seven
flights of stairs. Then Following an
afternoon with Daughter I took the
train for home — and the pas-
sengers didn't have to pile out
and push the train — you may
remember my last trip on the bus.
I found Partner tired out with
his housekeeping duties although it
had been he who said—"You go on
—there is nothing to stop you going
to Toronto. We can manage." The
trouble is I ant tired, too, after
my "holiday". Twice I walked
from the City hall to Wellesley
because I was so fed up with the
street cars and with feeling like
part of a package of pitted elates.

Sew It Yourself
By Madelyn Grigsby
The purpose of this book is to
make it possible for all women to
have smarter and more expensive
clothes at a considerable saving.
In "Sew It Yourself", Madelyn
Grigsby gives clear and definite dir-
ections for taking a dress out of the
hone -made class and putting it into
that of the couturiere.
The one question in the non-
professional sewer's mind is "Will
it look home-made?" for that has
been a stigma on home sewing.
Here, explained in simple and dir-
ect language, arc all of the neces-
sary steps from understanding dir-
ections on the pattern, to achieving
particular quality that lends profes-
sional distinction.
Numerous drawings and graphic
charts give greater clarity to the
text, lending a stimulus to the read-
er's natural artistic and creative
ability.

lyn Grigsby ... The Ryerson Press

Advantage of Early Treatment—Delay in investigation of any
cancer symptom is extremely dangerous because of the rapid
growth and spreading of cancer cells. The Canadian Cancer
Society's Ontario branch is campaigning during April for
150,000 memberships of one dollar or more to assist in cancer
education and service projects. Here, a nurse prepares for an
eye cancer operation which will likely save the eye because the
patient gets immediate treatment.
TEEN -TOWN TOPICS
By BARRY
Two weeks ago, Toronto welcomed
the sparkling eyed little skater, Bar-
bara Ann Scott. Since then, she has
gone west to continue her Canadian
tour. Not only
are the teen-ag-
ers of Canada
proud of her, but
the adults seem
as justly proud.
Barbara Ann
looked every inch
the sheen as she
rode up Bay
Street, to Toron-
to's City Hall. Nothing was left
out of the show. They had Pipe
.I3'ands and Mounted Police, speeches,
crowds and all the rest that goes
with welcoming home a Canadian
girl who carried off the skating
honours of the world. She could
make millions in Hollywood and she
wants to "settle down" and he hap-
py ... oh well, just like a woman.
A Little of This and That
To the lady who wrote in from
Fern I-Iill, Ontario asking where she
could purchase a copy of "Jack Min-
er and The Birds", we are surprised
that it is not available at the leading
book stores. The copy we have was
given to us by Manly diner, back in
early November. At the time, he
said it would soon be off the press.
We have the American edition, not
available here. We suggest you leave
a standing order with your book
store, as you should have a copy
soon.
The kid brother waltzes in today
with the announcement that his
school has secured the services of

Does Typing Hinder
Your Career Future?

Fred Johnson was an tip and-com-
Mg youngster, working as a file
clerk in a big company where 11e
hoped to get ahead.
One fine day the chance came—
o junior executive opening with re-
sponsibility and a pay raise!
But Fred Johnson was stymied.
His typing was poor and slow and
the job called for weekly reports to
the stain office.
So — another opportunity knock,
ed in the waste -basket because of
poor training for the business world
In the first place.
And Fred Johnson is no isolated
cast. It could easily happen to you
in your job — a chance to move up
the ladder shot to pieces because
you can't type.
(,earning touch-typing at home
is easy enough if you put your mind
to it. Ail keyboards are the same

will be prepared to type on any

Bobby Gimby is. He's the guy who
toots t11c trumpet each day on the
Happy Gang. He charges several
hundred to play for a night, too.
Brother, have times chasgcd. When
I was at "High" we had a three-
piece outfit, consisting of a two -
stringed fiddle player, a guy who
pounded the piano with his feet (that
was worth the price alone), and a girl
with a gectar. They always started
off the evening and ended it by
singing that lovely old ballad, "Bury
Me Out on the Prairie". The last I
heard of them, they were being bur-
ied out on the prairie. \Vc got the
whole outfit for five bucks a night,
and thought we had something.
Guess we did, too.
Afany thanks to our old friend
G. T. for the swell letter. It was int-
eresting. Thanks a lot.
Some time ago, we suggested you
gals and fellows out there put up a
bird stick, to help the little warblers
through the winter. Did you do it?
I see ... well maybe next year then.
I had real luck with my bird stick.
.At first, nothing would conte near it,
and now what have WC got? Mr.
and Mrs. Iced Headed Woodpecker
and Jr. and Mr,. and Mrs. Sammy
Bluejay and their three little sprouts.
It sure is fun to watch them front
the kitchen. I know if you once put
up a stick you'll neler take it down.
Take a look at the picture at tite
top of this column. Do f look like
a man of about 45? No cracks, please.
A reader tells me to have another
picture taken, that it makes me look
like an old man. Well, I won't see
14 again, hut brother I'm no 4S, no
platter how you look at it.
Jr. Farmers Busy
Junior Farriers all over the prov-
ince are getting ready for spring
stock shows. We 11010 that many
clubs have been having seed con-
tests. This is certainly educational
work for these men, especially when
put on a competitive basis. At maty
of their seed shows, they have had
judging and exhibitor's experience.
In most cases, winners of judging
and winners of goal seed go on to
meet winners of other counties and
finally end up in a provincial con-
test.

So Strange
It always seems so strange to me
Why men and nations cannot see
That all the trouble they are in—
The happiness they fail to win. -
Is due, because each one of them
Though pampering self, the rest
condemn.
If you would to the other do,
As you would have hi:n do to yon;
If each would lift the other'• Marl
And straighten out the crooked
road,
The whole world then would bring
