ANNE I ST
"Dear Anne Hirst: I hope you
can help me, for I'm all mixed
up. I have filed for a divorce,
and I don't want to get it.
"My husband and I have been
married f o u r
years, and
now we've
been separa-"
rated for eight
months. I still
love him very
much, and he -
says he loves
me. But I am
not sure of
him, He is 24,
I'm 2i.'
"He has been going with a
girl whom's he's supposed to
marry when our divorce is final.
"Now he tells me it is me he
wants (Whenever he grew tired
of • me, he would find someone
else), What shall Ido?
"UNDECIDED"
A NEW LEAF
Right now, while your hus-
* band wants to come home
' and you would snatch at any
* chance to have him stay, why
* don't you turn a new leaf in
' your marriage book and start
* all over again?
• You two loved each other
' once. True, you were both
young to marry, and you
* made mistakes. Today you
• are better equipped to make
* ago of it. Make a pact, and
' try.
• Tell your husband you will
* take him back, for a reason-
* able period, with one proviso:
* During this trial, he is not to
* date any other girl. If he ag-
* rees, ask your lawyer if he
• can halt the proceedings.
* Then really begin to live
* together again, each deter-
* mined to make the best of
• things.
• First, recall the joys of your
first year of marriage. Re-
* member how you used to
* spend your evenings together
• —where you went, how you
* had most fun, the sports, inov-
* fes. dances you enjoyed, or
* just being alone at home—
* and repeat the program, Put
* out of your. mind the months
• of separation and the dis-
• turbed period that preceded
* then.. Try to see each other
* through the eyes of love,
* with new faith in yourselves.
" If you are equally sincere,
you will find yourselves prat-
* tieing a new tolerance and pa-
* tience, and discovering a
* fresh joy in embarking on the '
* adventure.
• It will take imagination of
* a high order, For your part,
* you will play the bride again
* —that girl who took such
* pride in her home, who served
* the dishes her new husband
* preferred, who listened with
* such breathless enthusiasm to
* his pians for the future, who
* inspired him to work harder
* than he knew he could, You
* will stay dainty and desir-
* able, as you used to be, and
* charm hint with those sweet
* -ways and gayety he used to
* know.
* If the enters into the idea
* at all, he well do his best,
* too. He will come straight
* home from business, he will
* be attentive and affectionate
* again, and, forsaking his
* loose habits, save all his
* thought and interest. for this
* attractive wife who waits for
* him,
* It will be a mutual plan to
* carry out together, and bind
* you closer from the day it
" starts.
* If it fails, you have lost
* nothing. Should it succeed,
* you will both thank your
* stars that you found each
* other again, and had the Cour-
* age (and the character) to re-
* new your faith.
It is never too late to save
a marriage — if the two will
make a pact and stick to it,
Anne Hirst has ideas that will
help. Write her at Box 1, 123

Straightening
Crossed Eyes
Crossed eyes should be treat-
ed before the age of 4. Although
they can be straightened in old-
er children and even in adults,
it may be too late then to im-
prove eyesight. Because a cross-
eyed child sees double images,
he eventually gives up trying
to use both eyes so that one
becomes weakened from disuse.
Early treatment can prevent
this. Four methods are now
general}- used to correct cross-
ed eyes. Glasses alone work in
some caws, In others: a patch
over the good eye makes the
youngster Use his weaken. Eye -
muscle exercise are also help-
ful. And while surgery is nee-
essary in many cases. the op-
eration is a relatively minor one
and not dangerous.

Mode'nn Etiquette
Q. Is 11, proper to insert in We
newspaper an announcement of
a broken engagement?
A, Yes, if an announcement of
the engagement was made in the
paper. A pzniter-announcement
would read spm.?tg.like this:
and ,'Mrs..Fiobert L. Jones
announce that by - mutual con-
sent the engagement between
their daughter, Mary Ellen, and
Mr. Thomas L. Fox is at an end."
Q; Flow are canapes eaten?
A. When canapes are served
before a meal (with cocktails in-.
the living room), they are eaten
with the fingers. At the table
they are eaten, as are other hors,
d'oeuvres, with a fork,
Q. Should letters of Invitation
be sextt to a home christening?
A. These invitations are usual-
ly telephoned, or else friends are
personally asked, But it is also
correct and polite to' write notes.
Q. flow long should a widow
wear deep mourning after the
death of her husband?
A. It is seldom nowadays that
deep mourning is worn. In fact,
it is perfectly all right to wear
a touch of white, such as-eollar -
and cuffs, with dark clothing,
The usual time is a,year, .
Q. Should one select a wedding
gift that is something only the
bride can use, if one does not
know the bridegroom?
A. Regardless of how well
one knows either of the princi-
ples, the wedding gift should be
one that can be used and en-
joyed by both the bride and
bridegroom.
Q. When a woman is .wearing
gloves, should she remove the
right one before slaking hands?
A. No. '
Q. It is considered proper for
a bride-to-be to call her friends
by telephone to request that they
serve as bridesmaids at her wed-
ding?
A. This is really not the prop-
er way. She should call on each
of her friends personally to make
this request. Of course, £n the '
case of out-of-town friends, a
friendly note of request is in
good order.
Q. Is it permissible to examine
`the various dishes on a cafeteria
counter before selecting a cer-
tain one?
A. Certainly. But one should
not finger the saucers, or be con-
spicuous about selectrig one that
seems to contain a large portion
than the others.
Q. When a young man accom-
panies two girls to the theatre,
is it all right for him to sit be-
tween them?
A. Yes, unless there is an aisle
seat. Then he should, of course,
sit next to the aisle.

'Too much good farm land is
being used for housing pro-
jects." That is what is being
said in some, quarters — and not
without reason. But then, how
can it be otherwise. New houses
are definitely needed, and they
can't be built in mid-air. But it
is not only for houses. thatland
is required. Eaoh new commun-
ity' that is opened up must also
have roads, stores, schools, gas -
stations, parks, theatres and last
but not least, churches.
However, 'farm acreage taken
over for such projects 'cannot be
nearly as great as that which is
sacrificed for the erection of
huge industrial plants, and . for
the construction of super -high-
ways. It has worried us for some
time. Travel the new - Barrie
highway for instance, How much
farm land was taken over for its
construction? Or the new Ford
plant — taking in some of the
best farms in the district. Now
chain stores are building on the
outskirts of many cities — big.
stares, complete with parking
lots. Almost every city, is push-
ing its outskirts farther out in-
to the country. Real estate
agents are having . a field day
among nearby farmers, who,
attracted by good, cash offers,
and having in mind the decline
in farm produce prices, are
usually ready to make a deal. Of
course, if farm property is re-
quired by the Department of
Highways, the farmer -doesn't
have much say in it anyway.
And think of the land that must
be taken over where a clover-
leaf is necessary!
Modern highways follow a
straight line, insofar, as that is
possible, so there can be little
choice as toWilli farm land is
taken over once a survey is
completed. But such is not the
casewith industrial plants. They
can he here, or they can be
there — according to the best
interests of the company. Whe-
ther the land required is highly
Productive or not makes little
difference.
But I wonder . couldn't
there be some form of control
governing the sale of agricul-
tural land for industrial pur-
poses? Surely there is plenty
of waste land that ,night be used
to good advantage instead of
being left to grow weeds. That
much productive land has al-
ready been sold to industry is lit-
tle short of a crime. Can't some-
thing be done to put the brake
on before it too late — before
we wake up and wonder what
happened to all our good high-
way farms?
Not only purchased land is
affected; grading and building
highways indirectly affects other
farm land, still in production —
changing the natural drainage
of the land on either side of the
road. As a private enterprise
farm ponds have proved them-
selves. as very satisfactory.
Wouldn't it also be possible, as
a conservation measure, for the
Department of Highways, in co-
operation with the Department
of Lands and Forests, to con-
struct artificial ponds in low-
lying areas directly attribut-
able to highway construction?
These unsightly bare spots may
be seen on many farms herder-
ing every new highway in- the
province.
On the other hand, another
fact is perfectly obvious as one
drives through the country. In
spite of modern machinery some
farms are netas productive as
they were at one time -- our
own included. A man whose
work takes him to many places
told us that most of the farms
he visits are owned and operat-
ed by men over 70, Itt other
oases younger men are bolding
down jobs and trying to farm at
the same time. But even these
farms should not be sacrificed
to, the bulldozer. The fertltity
is there, and should the time
ever come — and with increased
population it well may — when
farm produce is more urgently
needed, then these farms can be
put into peak production once
again — if belp is available and
returns for farm produce make
it possible.
Well, having got that off my
chest I'll - go out and find out
how production has- been going
on around here. We imported
60 pullets last week, For tire
fust few weeks looking after
them is fun. Gathering eggs is
quite an event _ we couldn't
be more excited if they were
laying golden : eggs. Two more
today. than .yesterday. And the
size ... soon they will be Grade
A. Large! The hens, of course,
are .moulting and falling off.
But now they supply us with
meat, poor dears, What a mercy
geese, chickens, turkeys and
the like, have no realization of
the fate that awaits them. They
have a short but happy life —
or do they? I can't think that
turkeys, raised on wire, can be
happy. I wouldn't want to raise
turkeys for that same reason.
THE LEGAL MIND
Once a ranch hand' was up for
trial for horse thieving, - and
they couldn't find twelve jurors
wiling to give him a fair shake
in court. The judge roared, -
"There'll be no hanging in this
town while I represent law and
order! Round up twelve lawyers.
and herd'em into the jury box.
By combing the surrounding
country they managed to find .
twelve nien with law degrees of
sorts, arid the long-delayed trial
got under way, The townsfolk
expected a quick verdict of
"guilty," and so did the judge,
but the, twelve lawyers stayed
locked in the jury room for -
eight solid hours, Finally the
judge summoned them and de-
manded, "Haven't you danged
foolsdecided on a verdict yet?"
"Heck, Judge," demurred one of.
the jurors, "we got our verdict
in three minutes. What we can't
seem to agree on is a foreman."

And she was trying to "set", al-

One day the barn cat slipped
