We've been married she years, and have one child. \Ve get along fine ex- cept' for h i s distrust for este. Just yester- <,dny, a boy I .went to school „with : passed by ,_the house. He waved, and nat- urally I waved back. My husband got furious, called me everything, and tried to strike me! Yet he knew the boy and I bad grown up together. "Everywhere we have lived, he has accused me of being inter- ested in other nen. I just can't stand much more. "When we married, I loved him with all my heart . 'We both like to go to church. Otherwise Use Cotton feavE. Wl I stay hone, look after our child, . and take care of the house. "Do"'you think I've done any- thing wrong? Please tell me how to haddle this. L.K." TWO WAYS * You and your husband have * thrown many a shameful scene, * I expect; he accusing, you de- * hying. Momentarily he is quiet- * ed, but, with this trait to firmly * entrenched,he repeats the same * offense the next week. * Have you explained how much * you love him. and how he is * undermining that love? * Have you reminded him that * you admire his fine qualities, and * only this jealousy spoils the * gond marriage you two might * enjoy? * Did you ever warn him that, * except. for your faith in. him, * you could readily misinterpret * his courtesies to your women * friends? * And why cannot he trust you * as completely? Isn't real lore * founded on mutual faith? * Have you ever threatened to leave, if ire persists in humili- * acing you so? *. Either your husband feels so * inferior that he fears any other * man can attract you - or he * thinks he owns you as a piece of * personal property, and so looks e.1 upon every polite man you two * know as a guilty trespasser: * One way to subdue a man's * jealousy is to build up his ego, * to convince him that no other * male exists for you. Praise and * judicious flattery are in order, * and a clever wife knows when to * apply them. * He has talents you can honest- * ly admire, solid qualities that * deserve your open applause. * show him how proud you are to * be. his wife; praise him before * your child; when guests are * present, draw hint out, so he'll * feel he is lord of his house. -And * if he brings up a man's name, * remind him how superior he him- * self is to any man you've- ever * known, * A tactful wife can do all this * needn't let him get out of hand. * It is a matter of frankly ap. preciating the good in him, of * nsing imagination. and proper * timing. The idea has worked * successfully before. isn't it * worth your trying? * You will, of course, be most * circumspect even among old * friends, and give him no excuse * to inflame his jealous spirit. * n * Reams can be written on how to handle a jealous husband.

What a day for \Victoria Day! Every bit as :sad as was Easter Sunday -rain- ing from mid-morning well on into the night. Thank goodness our cows were still in the stable. Far better to have them there than tramping around in the wet fields, spoiling more feed than they could pos- sibly eat. We certainly hope the clouds have spilt all their surplus moisture for a few days at least and that Old Sol will smile upon us and warm the sodden earth. However, there was one thing we did enjoy on the 24th, and that was .listening to the broadcast of the Queen's .Plate. It was the one bright spot in a dismal 'day. That was quite a race -with its dramatic and ironical finish. It being along week -end we were expecting visitors -my sister and her son. But nephew Klemi was playing a violin solo at one of the Hamilton churches on Sunday and had a rehearsal on Saturday, so that finished that. When the weatherman was so unkind we didn't mind a bit. After all when city folk visit in the country they don't avant to sit around in the house all day. However, we did have Sunday visitors after all -two friends from Fort Erie whose visit was as welcome as it was un- expected.

If it moved back along the fence the starling left it alone. Evidently the starling shad a nest in the straw mow which it was - afraid the squirrel intended to rob. More than likely her fears were well-founded. Strange bow every living creature has its own means of defence -and how other living creatures respect that defence -except humans. larich our superior (?) wisdom we often do our -best to outwit them. For instance some of our biddies have developed the maternal instinct. For this reason the quietest hens are now quite vicious, pecking sharply when we disturb them. Do' we respect this natural instinct? Not a bit of it. We collect the broodies, put them in a crate where they can cat, drink and move around but have no comfort for setting. This method soon has the biddies singing again. So back they go to the pen to continue the job of laying 2;4 cent eggs, which don't cost us more than 3 cents to produce. On the whole we don't lose more than half a dollar a week by keeping our 50 hens. And if we can stop them from getting too broody, and if the price of eggs went up another 5c a dozen the chances are we night break even) It was nice to just sit and talk after being busy with the paint- brush all week. But oh dear, clean- ing up is quite a problem Our big worry now is what to do with the things that nobody wants. Maga- zines, bottles, glass jars and paper feed bags -that is the big brown bags that feed mills now use in- stead of jute bags. There is also the wire that binds the baled hay. Partner can use some of it but not very much. What to do with the rest is quite a problem. Nobody wants it. The Financial Post explains wiry paper salvage isn't wanted. Less re- tail business being done; therefore less wrappings and cartons are re- quired; therefore less paper needed /or the manufacture of .cartons. So the price of waste -paper has drop- ped from $40 to $3-$4 a ton. At that price truckers say it isn't worth picking up. It seems to me many farms would be a lot tidier if every township council would arrange a twice -yearly salvage pickup service. But I suppose that is too much to lope for. The waste of paper, bottles and wire is bad enough but what really burns me up are the tobacco cans that nobody wants. There they arc, perfectly good cans, as clean and usable as when they left the fettol'y and could be refilled time and again if returned to the tobacco packing industry. Will all this deplorable waste ever come to an end? Tile only explan- ation we have heard is that handl- ing and reclaiming -used -cans and glass jars would: cost more than manufacturing new ones. If sounds so'illogical but' I suppose the iradee- people must know what they are ' talking about, Even at that 1 hate to sec those cans wasted. Well, Partner has supplied me with my nature, story for tete` week. The other day he saw a little red squirrel running along the fence and heading for the barn, But it never got thee&, It was waylaid by e starling who flew out Irons the straw mow and attacked the poor little squirrel with terrific vicious - nets. Naturally, the squirrel was stopped in its streaks, 'hen it be- gan moving around experimentally. Happiest People In The World SHANGRI-LA (the mythical name for a place where people are ideally happy and cut off from the outside world) really' exists- according to reports from South Africa, A traveller recently, returned from a visit to an isolated valley in the shadow of the Black Moun- tains in Cape Province, and said that he had stumbled on an iso- lated community of ninety people who had heard only vaguely of the Second World War and had never. heard of Winston Churchill, The valley in which these people live has a rather inappropriate name under the circumstances, It is known in 'the Africaans lan- guage as Die Bell (The Hell), The people are descendants of the French Protestants or Huguen- ots who fled front persecution in France in 1685 and lauded in South Africa. Their surnames are those of old' Freneh families-Cordiers, bIos- terts, Marais, Nels-but none can speak French, the language of their forefathers. Crack Shots They are hidden from the rest of the world by steep cliffs which can only be scaled on foot. Their iso- lation is [made all the more com- plete because there fs not a single road or track leading to the hidden valley, which the people' them- selves seldom leave. They have no radio, newspaper, telephone, or postal service, but they do have modern rifles. Both [nen and women are crack shots. Food in this modern Shangi-la is plentiful, for every inhabitant is a farmer and all kinds of vegetables, wheat, bush tea, oranges, grapes and figs are grown. A herd of cows supplies dairy produce. The life of the email, self-con- tained cotmnunity may now be short-lived, for the South African Government has expressed con- cern over what happens to the children of these descendants of the Huguenots. "Who's Churchill?" The official view is that there should be a better future offered to them than that available in the isolated valley, and a scheme is now afoot to move the entire com- munity back to civilization. The fact that these people had never heard of the last war or Win- ston' Churchill is nothing unusual. Islanders who had never heard of such things as trains, radio, and books were found by explorer Frederick Mitchell Hedges in the Seychelles, a grpup of islands in the Indian ocean recently. They were all well fed and su- premely happy, he said, and had no desire at all to become "civil- ized." Nor had the Shayus tribe of the Aures Mountains, North Africa, when they 'were visited recently by a French expedition. The Shayus liave lived in this "African Tibet" ever since the his- tory of modern times began, and have again and again rejected the oncoming tide of civilization. '.Great dynasties and empires have risen and crumbled on the edge of the Aures Motmtains- E'gyptain, Carthaginian, Roman - yet this hilltop tribe has never died out and its customs are the same to -day as they were ten thousand years ago. No Hard Work Brainy Beauty -For obvious rea- sons Patricia Ann Taylor is Southern Illinois University's homecoming Queen, and if readers can take their eyes from her, a look at her scholastic re- cord shows a 4.893 average in 140.5 university quarter-hours, for which Pat has been award- ed the Charles Neely Scholar- ship. BEE -HAVE It's rather a ticklish question, but did you ever wonder how a bee got his back scratched? 'Professor 'V. G. Milum did. He decided to find out. After long study of worker bees which were encased in. glass - sided hives,' tltc 'protestor said that a bee Is able let cheese most 'of the pollen from- its body by brush- ing it off with his legs, antennae and pollen combs.

Without cows the tribe could not exist, which explants why the dairy 1s the Toda temple, and the cow is to -then!-as it is to all Hindus -the most sacred of animals. The Todas settled in the hills ' $,000 years ago atad have kept to themselves ever since, To -day .there are about six blan- ched of then, and through the centuries that figure bas never been greatly exceeded, Grow Them Bigger In Newfoundland These scientists are working on the theory that Newfoundland's 14 native species of mammals all mi- grated from the mainland after the ice age and at a time when ice still bridged the Straight of Belle Isle, Cut off from their former hab- itants by the melting ice, they had to adapt themselves to their new environment or perish. In the process of adaptation' .the animals Imre undergone some very considerable changes. The island caribou, 'for example, is sandy brown with white.on the neck, head and legs. The mainland caribou is much darker with little or no white . markings. But the caribou, in its lightness is the exception; all the other species of Ncwfoundand's mammals are darker in color than their mainland cousins. Nor is coloration the only alter- ed feature. Except for the bear and the lynx, all: the mammals of New- foundland, from -the caribou right down to the meadow -mouse, are larger and heavier than the con- tinental species, These changes are accgntpanied by altered bone struc- ture and in some cases by changed food and living habits. Beavers for example live far from wooded areas. They transport logs through as elaborate series of canals to the sites of their construction projects and are forced to use much harder wood for their dams than did their ' ancestors. ' Whether or not continued isola- tion would ever have produced ani- mals as strange and rare as those of Australia no once can tell; but the manmmals. of Newfoundland are now classified as sub -species, and the scientist has been given another opportunity to study the strange in- teraction 01 environment and hered- ity in one of nature's laboratories. The Shayus civilization is based on the concept that most of the toil other nations consider to be essenial can be dispensed with, To them hard work is abhorrent and unhealthy. They do just enough to keep themselves alive, Women are the dominant sex. If a woman gets tired of her husband she can demand an immediate divorce, either marrying again or abandoning her home and children to make her living as a dancing girl. She is then an "Aerie" or free woman, respected throughout the community and often comparatively rich. Another " Shangi-la" tribe where they have peculiar ideas about mar- riage and equality of the sexes, is the Toda tribe of Southern Indra. Sacred Cow The Todas live in the Nilgiri Hills and they, too, have no time Had Sores Over Legs Size of Silver Dollars -In Misery for 20 Years- Read'His ihankful,l.etter "Got my ankles and legs poisoned front senora wheat dust-triedeverythtng-kept mY 1tD bnndatet for over four years -10 much' for 20 Years" writes Mr. 0.1'. of Sum Idaho.
