a"Dear Anne I3irst: I'd like to
uiye you zny opinion of that
Hance whose intended wife will
continue warping after they mar- •
17. de's the onewho insists that
,she help pay for their home,
"Any husband can suggest that
his wife help save for that, but
to say she must — well, he's not
much of a man. He marries her
to give her a home and provide
for her --not for her to help sup-
port' herself. I think a man is
cheap to expect his wife to con-
tinue working after marriage. As.
you say, he should be proud to
support her,. not take from her,
"And her clothes? It's all right
for her to pay for some of them,
but he should provide her with
an outfit part of the time.
"My husband doesn't think a
wife should work at all.
"He says a home isn't a home
unless it is beautiful and clean
all the time; then if unexpected
guests drop in, you don't have to
excuse dust on the furniture. And
you know as well as I do, Anne
Hirst, you can't keep your house
looking like it should, and have
those homemade piesand cakes,
if you're out working all day!
A STEADY READER"
' Many a reader, man and
* woman. will agree with you.
* Most men take pride in sup-
* porting a wife, and some feel
" it a reflection .on their cepa-
" bilities if she takes an outside
• job. They can both do without
" some luxuries and manage to
a get along on his income. A
man's pride is precious to him,
and it should not be offended.
• In many cases today, the two
* could not possibly, live on the
• man's income. The wife is as
" anxious for marriage as he, so
* she is glad and •proud to pay
her share of their cernmon ex,
° penes.

• Anuther important angle to
' this question is the fact that a
o career "girl, Or one that has been
• successful in business for a
* long time, is not content to

* She .has too many talents that

X. agree with your point that

* ask her if she prefers to go. on
* working; but to demand that
* she earn extra money to help

* To "CONFUSED": Like so
° many young girls, you are flat-
* ered when a boy asks you not
° to date anyone else. You think
* it means he is serious about
a marrying you—when usually it
o only indicates his selfishness and
° his lack of confidence in you
a both.
a You should not promise any-
* one that you'll confine your
dates to him, or have to tell
* him when you see anyone else.
a Unless .two people are engag-
▪ ed,. they
ngag-
ed,,they have no right to make
° such a demand. Suppose either
'one -finds another person more
" attraetive? You are left' alone
° and when a girl has.been dat-
o ing only one boy, it takes quite
* a time to find another escort.
o Play fair. Let both these boys
° know you see the other one
* (or write him) and refuse to
° bind yourself to any agree-
° meat.
° Why do you allow any lad
* to break dates? Don't you gee
* how that cheapens you, makes
* him think he can treat you as
° he pleases? You should have
a more respect for yourself —
* or he will not have any for
* you,
•a The young man to cultivate
* is the one who wants you to
• enjoy yourself (even with
* somebody else) and is willing
* to take his chances that you
* will decide you like him more.
If your husband disapproves

X -Ray Treatments
May Be Harmful
X-ray treatment may endan-
ger the growth of children's
bones, according to a report
published in Radiology. Their
studies were paid for by grants
from the Atomic Energy Com-
mission and the Playtex Park
Research Institute. The children
examined had : received X-ray
treatment for cancer. A. follow-
up thirteen years after treat-
ment showed definite effects on
the growth of the spine. A re-
lationship between the X-ray
dosage And the effect on the
growth •-was ` demonstrated and
the limits of safe dosage deter-
mined,Though nnly the spine
was studied, the findings are
just as applicable to other bones
of the body. The inference is
obvious: Treatment with X-ray
must he et'ipervisad by experts.

Crime For Children
The vice-president of a major
broadcasting company has stated
that crime programs on radio and
television `can be used to im-
press upon millions of Americans
that lawbreaking is a sordid busi-
ness in which , the criminal can-
not win."
The Journal of the American
Medical Association, writing
about a survey of the deleterious
effects of TV crime -and -horror
programs on children, declares:
The over-all impression gained.
by the monitors from the majori-
ty . of television programs for
children was that life is. cheap;
death, suffering, and brutality
are subjects of callous indiffer-
ence; and that judges, lawyers,
and law officers are dishonest,
incgmpetent, and stupid.
When is" the industry going to
' face up honestly and construc-
tively, without pharisaical plati-
tudes, to the sordid business"
that crime -for -children has be-
come on the air waves?

Science Monitor.

As I was finishing this column
last week news was just coming -
in o6 *the' didastrotis floods in
England and Holland. At the time
I did not quite realize the lo-
cation of the floods, then, as
more "details were broadcast I
found it was ` East Anglia they
were talking about—the district
in which Partner and I both lived
before coming to Canada.,Yar-
mouth - where I spent many a
summer holiday with Aunt Lot-
tie . , . Clacton, Felixstowe —
popular seaside resorts for all
East Anglian — and all well
fortified with seawalls and break-
waters. Partner and I remember
vely rough seas in all these
places but never flooding to any
serious extent. The location
doesn't make the disaster any
better er worse but it always
seems worse when one knows the
places that are spoken df. Along
the east coast the sea has been
encroaching for years; cliffs have
crumbled into the sea, houses
have had to be demolished or
moved back for safety; now this
terrible tidal wave will weaken
still further the seawall defenses
of many a coastal town.
Someone said to me — "Well,
I don't suppose people who have
lived in those places will ever
want to go back aggin." Oh, but
they will. In time, when the de-
bris has been removed, and the
immediate danger has passed,
the people of East Anglia will
return and build their homes
anew. Inconveniences, to Eng-
lish country folk, are always re-
garded as of a temporary na-
ture. Near our home, on the
banks of the River Stour,' there
were many cottages. Every spring
the Stour would overflow Its
banks, Every spring these cot-
tages would be flooded and peo-
ple rescued by boat from the
bedrooms. And every spring, as
soon as the floods had subsided,
these people would return to
their river -washed homes. Yes,
the English are a stubborn race.
Happily, all news last week
was not depressing. I wonder
how many people thrilled with
delight as the Captain, without
the aid of tugs, docked the
mighty. Queen Mary at New York
harbour, That would have been
wonddrful to see. I expect the
people on deck were far too ex-
cited. to even think of being ner-
vous.,
05 course. otar Canadiaii.weath-
er is also in . the news again.
Today "it might as well be
spring." But we hate to think what
this 'changeable weather is do-
ing to the wheat and • clover,
However, timewill tell — and
no amount of worrying , will af-
fect the result,
05 greater concern at the mo-
ment are the changes ,taking
place in U.S. Governmental pol-
icy, which can affect us to ri
greater; extent than most Of us'
probably realize, -It is rather
like an occasion when two great
doctors disagree,. One ,says.;"op-

But we don't need to cross the

And now may 1 be forgiven it
I touch on a more personal mat-
ter. February 6 is a date for us
to' remember. On that date, is
year ago King George VI died.
Two years ago our sister-in-law
passed away while here on a
visit. Eight years ago it. was the
wedding day for two friends of
ours. Thirty-five years ago Part-
ner and I were married. And this
year we lost a very close friend
who lived in Guelph. So you see
we have plenty of reason to re-
member February 6.
It could hardly be said that
Partner and I celebrated our
thirty-fifth wedding anniversary
—we don't go in for celebrations
very much — but we did have
cards, letters, phone calls and
some beautiful red carnations —
flowers which have a special sig-
nificance for us. We also experi-
enced a great feeling of thank-
fulness: A married couple who
are able to observe their 35th
wedding anniversary TOGETHER
have a very real cause for re-
joicing, don't you think? So many
have far less — more's the pity.
REALLY TOUGH
One of the most successful
writers of gangsterscripts on the
Coast learned angles in the hard
school or experience. The neigh-
borhood in whieh he grew up, he
explains, was so tough that when-
ever a cat stalked down the
street with ears and a tail,
everybody knew it was a tour-
ist. A 'hardboiled kid who lived
next doter to tin poured a pan
of water on a passerby, and
shouted a number of interesting
four-letter words as am accom-
paniment. The infuriated passer-
by yelled, "Come down here and
I'll beat the tar out .of you."
"Come downDf8repeated the of-
fending brat. "You're nuts. I can't

Their "Brainwavers'
Came Too Soon
Tlie man who discovered ane
of 'the world's first .formulas for
plastics—a key invention which,, ;
made millions — died the other..
day and left tinly$490. Lillis old
age Francis Merles had sought.
humble employment as a Hospital
storekeepeu on the outskirts of
London , , , and now his White-
haired widow has to go out to,
work.
Yet we live in the plastics age.
In every electric, switch, every
radio set, every telephone and
fountain'pen,. Francis Maries fac-
ed a constant remainder of his
bitter misfortune,
Thirty years ago, while experi-
menting with baby foods in his
kitchem•he discovered the milk
plastics formula that opened
glowing vistas of fortune. In a
cotherted, stable, he and a part-
ner 'turned
artner'turned out plastic door plates,
cutlery handles, reel -drays _and
other articles,
Home Sold Up
But Merles' bright idea won no
support—or money. The business
crashed. Even his little home had
to be sold up. Until relatives
came to the rescue, he and his
wife had to sleep on bare floor-
boards. Merles lived to see others
reap the fruits of an invention
similar to his caseinformula. His
failurebrokehis health.
It so often happens. Not long
ago Walt Disney was decorated
with the Legion of Honour at a
stately French Embassy gather-
ing, and in his speech of thanks
he mentioned the animated Far-,
-toms had been invented by a
Frenchman, Emile 'Coil. What.'
Disney didn't know was that
Cohl was still living—on a pit-
tance of adVen shillings' a week'
relief! e
Strangely enough, the discov-
ery of Emile Cohl's plight turned-.
up . another old -tinier, who was
found lying ill and in need in a
flat only a street or two away.
Francis Michaux invented the
bicycle pedal. Ultimately the'
French Cyclists' Touring Club,.
had to open a subscription fund .
on his behalf. Nikola Tesla, too,
died -in New York with barely
enough fn the bank to pay his'
hotel bill.
Every electric lamp marked
"A.C." pays indirect tribute —
but no cash tribute!—to Tesla.
Back in the 'nineties he sold his
new system of alternating cur-
rent,. for. a .million dalliers cash.
But, in the . course of a long life
he spent so much money on
laboratory experiments on new
electrical inventions—and so oft-
en dreamily failed to take out
patents—that the net profit was
nil.
It is an amazing fact that Alex-
ander Fleming and his colleagues
made no attempt to patent their.
discovery of penicillin: As scien-
tists, they intended their medical
discovery to be bequeathed to the
world.
On the other hand, when Dr,
Selman Waksman, a Russian -
born American, discovered that
r4
other weii ler drug, streptomycin,
he patented it and made over this
,proceeds to the Rutgers Univer-
• sit'y •liesearch Foundation.
Disiitl�ilslier's Share
:.When last reported it had
made nearly $3,000,000 on a 2 Per
cent royalty. In actual fact, it la
understood that Dr. Waksman
takes 10 per cent this—a neat
total of $300,000 — and othee.
shares and bonuses are distribut-
ed among a score of others. Even
the widow of the laboratory dish-
washer gets a share!
A recommendation that British,
doctors, too, should patent their
medical discoveries has been.
made to the British Medical As-
sociation. If abasic discovery Is
not patented, developments of it
may otherwise be patented else-
where. As things are, for in-
stance, the British are in the de-
plorable position of having to pay
royalties to American firms for'
penoillin manufactured in Brite
aim!
