For six months, my husband has been going out alone and com- ing home in- toxicated. H e says if I don't like it, I can move! "Ile is unem- ployed a lot of he time, though he's physically able to work. I work every day and pay the expenses, sating out only carfare and lunch money. When he's out of work, I get a bleesing- out every Saturday for paying what we owe that week and buying groceries --instead of giving the money to him. (He has left the house with $50 and come home without a cent,) "Lately, a 'woman has been call- ing him at home. He makes an excuse and leaves the house. How Long? "Last week I told him I still loved imim, and wanted him to straighten out, But 1 couldn't rea- son with him at all. "Now I'm at my wits' end. I can hardly do my work. Can you advise me? DISCOURAGED" * If you are supposed to pay the * household hills, then he the man * of the house, and act like it. * Arrange your affairs so you * pay cash for everything you buy. * That will show you where your * money goes, and you can plan * a bit ahead. * When your husband is not *'working, give him carfare and * lunch money, and nothing more. * 1f he wants to keep on drinking * and running around, he'll have to * earn the money himself. When * he has a position, he should at * least share the living expenses. * You cannot go on like this. The Short Wrapon 4784 V-.tG--t2 4-14-16 ,r,-.18-20 It tops everything!

Unmarried Mother Worries "Dear Anne Hirst: Some years ago I fell in love. The man told me he married his wife for her money, and never cared for her. I was too young to realize what I was doing. I played along with him. "Two years ago, I bore his child. (He has three others.) "He doesn't want me to leave him—yet he won't part with his wife on account of her money! He is too weak to realize the dreadful ending that awaits us, "What shall I do? PUZZLED" * If only for the sake of your * child, you will have to be strong- * er than he is, Send him back to * his wife and family, and consult * a lawyer about his responsibility * toward your baby. * After things are settled, you * can move to another town where * you are not known, and give the * child your name. If you are * brave enough to act upon this, * you can relieve yourself of. this * heavy burden of guilt, and start * the child out untouched by your * past. * The man is supremely selfish, * of course. So it is you who must * clear the path ahead. * You have my sympathy, and * my faith that you will. If you have to acknowledge that your new husband is hopeless, take some action . . . Anne Hirst is kind and wise, and can help you find some good in hint—or give you courage to direct your own future.

His parents, horrified, said "Not Please spare the world this horrid blow." But since he would not hear their plea And blurted truth with horrid glee, They took his great ancestor's axe And laid him boy with forty whacks.

H RON !CLES R9ftGaw 9 trs-w The 1952 Royal Winter Fair is many months away. And yet there is every reason for us to be think- ing about it right now — at least if we can rely on the subject mat- ter of an editorial in the FARM- ER'S ADVOCATE and CAN- ADIAN COUNTRYMAN — Feb- ruary 23. This editorial states quite openly that a movement is on foot to have the "Royal" open for busi- ness on Sunday — that is ,the Sun- day that comes midway during the time the Fair is on. The editorial is quite obviously against it and won- ders what attitude we farmers will take in the matter. What, indeed: This is a natter that should be discussed by farm groups and ag- ricultural organizations frauone end of the province to the other. The "Royal" is our fair. It was organized primarily in the interest. of agriculture. Do we want ' it cheapened and used es one more means of creating ,an open Sun- day? We know there are quite a num- ber of farmers, mostly fruit and market gardeners, who stem to think it necessary to work on the Sabbath, but the majority of fann- ers still regard Sunday as a day of rest — insofar as it can be where winter chores are almost an all - day job, i have spoken to several people about this subject and not one has been in favour of having the "Roy- al" open for business on Sunday. The nearest to it was one manwho said Ile would like to see the Fair open, but not for business, .That is to say, an admission fee could be charged and people allowed to go through the barns ,the horse palace and the flower show, but no judging or show ring events should be allowed. And definitely no com- mercial side shows — which, after all, are merely an attraction to peo- ple who are not in the least inter estcd in farm ,anirnals or farming operations. There is also another nay of looking at it , . , suppose the Royal were to open on Sundays. It would just be the thin edge of the wedge. If the Royal stayed open then there would be a claummering from some quarters to have the Canadi- n Exhibition stay open 'on Sun- days - which heaven forbid. And if time Exhibition stayed open there would be other places of amuse- ment th,. would think they should do likewise, Very soon there would be more commercialized ainusenient on Sunday than .;n any day of the week. Appareully tht idea of keeping the Royal open on Sundays has been tentatively suggested as a means of making more money •-- according to the editorial it "-night swan the difference between stir - plus and deficit" And does the management think any good would come of a new venture which de- liberately and publicly flouts the fourth commandment? Dear knows, many of us are guilty enough in that respect, but at least it remains a personal matter. If the Royal is not paying its way why not have it stay open the whole two weeks — Sundays ex- cepted? Or raise the a8mission fee. People who are really anxious to gowould probably pay an extra 25 cents as easily as not. Rather hard on a big family, of course, but then children could be taught that if they want to go to the Big Fair they must save their pocket money and pay their own way. Too often, with easy indolence, we farm people sit back and let changes take place to which we are actually opposed. Too late we re- alize we could have stopped any given change had we really tried. in regard to the Royal Winter Fair we have been given plenty of time to think about it. I hope farm folk all over the province will make their voices heard. To make this possible, the matter should be dis- cussed by all farm organizations at their regular meetings, If the ma- jority of members are against an open Sunday at the Royal, then a resolution should be properly drawn up, signed by the mover and seconder, and by the president and. secretary, and have a copy of the resolution sent to the Board of Directors of the Royal Winter Fair, and also one to the Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable T. L. Kennedy, - Let agriculture raise its voice in protest in this matter which is of such vital importance to itself. Don't let this be one more occa- sion for saying too little — and saying that little too late. But maybe I am saying too much — and saying that much, too soon! What do our readers think? "Fuzzy" Sweaters Can Be Dangerous For safety's sake stay away from lite if you're wearing a "'fuzzy" sweater. This information was divulged after an investigation into the "exploding" sweaters, by L. A. Bradley, textile chemist. Yarn used in this fabric, he Pointed out, is not in itself dan- gerous. But he believes any swea- ter with a thick, brushed nap will burn rapidly. High flammability of such sweaters is due to the loose weave of the cloth; approxi= mately 40 threads to the square inch, and brushed nap not to an explosive finishing chemical, Ideal of the research depart - meats of the American institute of teeuatdering expressed his opin- ion that any sweater with such a :nose weave and brushed nap would burn as rapidly. Ile believes it makes no difference whether time c.!oth were viscose, or cellu- lose acetate rayon. UNDAY SCJIOOL LESSON By Rev. R. B. Warren,.B.A.,B.D, Timothy, A Dependable Follower (Temperance Lesson) Acts 1611.2; Philippians 2119-24, ' 2 Timothy 211.5. Memory Selection: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in work, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4;12. On Paul's first visit to Lystra, in Asia Minor, he was stoned, drawn out of the city and left for dead. But as the troubled deciples .stood around, he rose up. To some it may have seemed that his mission there was d, failure. But when he returned to Lystra on his next mis- sionary journey there was a young disciple, Timothy, ready to aa - company him in spreading time gos- pel. Timothy's mother . Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, were women of unfeigned faith. They were Jewish. His father was a Greek, In the second lesson portion Paul is writing front Rome during his first imprisonrnent. Ile pro- poses to send to Philippi, Timothy,. who had ministered there with Paul in the beginning. From Paul's words we can see that Timothy was truly a minister. He was not out for himself, ; The final lesson portion is. from Paul's last letter written shortly before his execution. He urges Timothy -to endure hardness. keep free from the entanglements of secular affairs and fight the good fight in Christian manner. Church history assures us that Timothy, who .in youth became a worthy example of believers, continued so to the end. Ilow different his life would have been had he, as so many of our youth today, became enslaved to strong drink. Thank God he didn't. "Alcoholism is a disease, That is perfectly true, but no one ever contracts the disease who does not drink alcohol," Hints On Caring For Cut Flowers Unpack fiowers as soon as they arrive. Cut stems diagonally with a sharp knife to remove dried cells and peranit' the flowers to drink 'freely. Harden" them by plunging them into a deep bucket of cold water and leaving them in a dark room for two or three hours before ar- ranging. Keep then away from draughts, direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. Add fresh water daily and recut stems whenever flowers seem to tire. Arrange therm so that colors, shapes and sizes are in harmony with the container and the whole arrangement is in harmony with the room.
