"I have tried to live right, but I'm always getting hurt!" cries a young woman who feels that life has let her down. She has been jilted -- not once, but twice. Today, in her despair, she la- ments, "Is there no one in this world we can trust any more?" Who can wonder at her hope- lessness? Five years ago she was to have • been married; three weeks before the day, her fiance jilted her, "For a year I thought I couldn't bear it," she relates, "until I met a young man who was very good to me ... I be- gan to live again. I trusted him with all my heart, we became engaged, I was to have been mar- ried this past Christmas, A month before, he began dating a mar- ried. woman — and now he tells me he loves her!

He says this one pians to divorce her husband, who is in the service, so I guess he in- tends to marry her ... It is pretty hard to go with a man three years and then be told to forget him!

I hope this young wo- man, however, will not yield * to that idea, When she recov- * ered from her first disappoint- * ment, it proved the resilience * of her nature. This second o blow reveals how a man's very * character was warped by his * mad passion for a married we- * man. The girl he jilted is more * fortunate than she will ad- * mit now; he might have sue- * eumbed. after they married. His " unsavory double-crossing of a " soldier in service proves to " what despicable depths he has ° sunk. There seems no virtue * in him. " The young woman who * trusted him is remembering * him today, Iexpect, as he used * to be, and her pain is not eased ° by the fact. If this had hap- * pened to a friend of hers, she * would comfort her with the * reality she must live with from " now on, and remind her that, * with rare good fortune, she has " escaped being married to a ras- * cal. How much more bitter * could be her awagening then! * Yes, there are still men in " this world whom women can * trust.

Are NatIiilg New If you read that the Pope had issued a declaration to forbid tile use of what he called "horror Weapons" by any Christian state, you might think it a fair refiec- tion on our age. . But you would never guess when this actually happened. The edict was made in the year 1139 by Pope Innocent II. And the weapon he spoke of? The newly invented crossbow. Vast periods of time make tit- tle difference to the troubles that besot the world., For in- stance, there is nothing in the following quotation that could not be 'said of to -day: "This unfortunate generation has already paid its just tribute to mte'ne. What ,calamities .has it not suffered?- any have per- ished in the bosom of their coun- try; others have been obliged to wander with their wives and • children through unfriendly laptia "Let the leaders put an end to our troubles. The treaties of peace are insufficient, for their Purpose; they may retard, but cannot prevent our misfortunes ' We need some more durable, plan, which will for ever put an end to our hostilities—" These words were spoken by the Greek .philosopher Isoerates four hundred years before the birth of Christ. Go back two 'hundred years and you will find prominent Americans urging a union of all European .countries, just as they are to -day. About the same time George Washington was attack - in the "moral decay" of Ame- rica. "Such a dearth of public spirit and want of virtue," he complained, just as his ancestors are complaining now. There is a topical note, too, in the following quotation made in 1857: "It is a gloomy moment in his- tory ... The political cauldron seethes and bubbles with uncer- tainty. ncertainty. Russia hangs like a cloud, - dark and silent, upon the horizon of Europe; while all. the energies, resources, and influences of the British Empire are sorely tried, and are yet to be tried more sorely, in coping with its dis- turbed relations in China. It is a solemn moment, and of our troubles no. man can see the end."

HR-..4NIC LES F u N 1 +GE �cY Gumridottne 0 r•[ 4 11 neei,cko Something tells nm that cer- tain species of .cats, dogs and house plants cannot be raised to- gether — and they are the kind we seem to possess. For several years I have had' a huge fern — or plant I hard- ly know which. to call it. It has long trailing branches and a sort of multiple bulbous root. This plant filled one entire win- dow in the living room and was so heavy I couldn't even lilt it. It had always been hardy and healthy — .and then suddenly it `_wasn't. It appeared lifeless, with branches breaking off here and there. I was at a loss to account for the change — until the day I discovered Mitchie-White asleep on top of my precious fern! It was an ideal spot, with the warm sun streaming in through the window. I knew Mitchie bad been playing with the trailing fronds but making a bed of the fern was something I hadn't even. thought of as possible. Eventual- ly I had to cut off all the fronds and repot the fern, splitting it into four while I was at it In the other living room win- dow I have an asparagus fern. Mitchie can't sleep on top of it as the pot isn't big enough so he nibbles at the fronds instead. Upstairs in a big south bedroom, used. only when we have guests, I have a variety of house plants, which I considered comparative- ly safe — until last Sunday. Dee and Art were out and brought a young married couple with them, June brought her English terrier with her a nice little dog, ' quite friendly and well-behaved — even with Honey •and Mitch. It was all over the place. Pres- ently I heard it chasing around upstairs but in a few minutes it was down again. Next day I was up to water my plants, Such a sight as met my eyes! One cactus was lying out of its pot; another was on the floor, its faecv con- tainer broken; two of my repot- ted ferns were also lying among a debris of broken pots and earth. And various shoots were snapped off my geraniums and begonias. Worse than that, some of these plants belonged lo friends who had been staying here before Christmas. They had left them in my charge until they *sere ready to start house- keeping again. , Well, I thought, a dog couldn't possibly have done that much damage. And then suddenly I realized what had happened. Big Black Joe had evidently been sleeping on one of the beds. When the dog ran upstairs, Joe, scared to death by a canine stranger, had made a flying leap for the window. And that was that. I am sure that is what hap- pened because j remember see- ing Joe come through the hall when everyone had gone. And it could have been worse, Years ago, when a strange dog came in- to the house, Mitchie-Grey went right through the living room window, glass and all. In my den I have on the win- dow sill ono begonia and e flowering hop. Yesterday while we Were et breakfast 1 heard a crash . I found the begonia lying on the floor,, its pot broken, and Mitchie-White scampering away, So I have come to the con- cluder): that Mitchie among plants is like a ball in a china tlnllehte, nennnmic*C - Anreln 1110ITE0 51,0018 CANADA n.NSLSnvATION moot:nt10n ,,'1n', nos rntrodnalory nand, In Mints : tint w* reenmmend, plena Sar rt.

Too bad, because in every other respect he is a well-behaved and intelligent pussy -cat. Which reminds me — I visited a house in town last week where there was a four-year old cat that had never been outside by itself. It had a little harness and was tak- en outside by some member of the family at various times dur- ing the day. This was because all its predecessors hadeither been killed, stolen, poisoned or run away. Before' leaving the subject of plants and cats .'. I have two Christmas cacti, both of which bloomed just -before Christmas. One has already bloomed again and the other is a of buds — cats and dogs notwithstanding. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Maybe even house plants dont know what to make of this unusual winter. It is certainly unusual all right. Two days ago the air was just like spring. Last night the tem- perature took a nosedive and here we are back to winter again. I have just come in from feed- ing the bens and found the ther- mometer registering zero. That. suits me all right — I'm not ready for spring yet. Well, tbis is the day farm folk have been waiting for — the day U.S. embargo against Canadian Cattle is to be lifted. And then what? Some say lower beef prices will result — but that re-, mains to be seen. In any case free movement of cattle is greatly to be desired especially off this farm, -if I have my way. Partner is spending far too much tine at the barn these days. If it hadn't been for the embargo some of our cattle would have gone out long ago. Dut who wants to sell on a falling market? Thomas Edison, believing that luck or chance had no part in a man's' success (one of the few successful men who ever be- lieved this) once said, "I never did anything worth doing by ac- cident, nor did any of my in- ventions come by accident; they came by work." - SOME TYPES 'YOU SEE THROUGH A WINDSHIELD They Refuse To Fight, But Not Through Fear. 41 is three hundred years since George Fox had a vision at the top of Pendia Hill, which moved him to preach his message to the people - of England and the American colonies, and found a sect that in proportion to its numbers is the most powerful in the world, For, according to statistics, there are no more than 21,000 Quakers in all Britain, and about 160,000 In the world. Yet a Quaker deputation An a country dike the U S.S.R., for instance, is far more respected than any other body would be. They do not believe in the. Trinity, the Immaculate Concep- tion or the Resurrection, though in essence they practise 'all that is best in the Christian religion. - Courage and Integrity George Fox, the founder of Quakerism, was a man of im- mense moral courage and in- tegrity. And honesty is the rock , on which Quakerism is built. Be honest with yourself and Mose in contact with you, both in bus- iness and in home life. The Quakers are guided by an Inner Light which we call conscience, Fox believed that if you obey the dictates of your conscience in all matters, then. your conscience. will grow and develop along the right lines, and you cannot do wrong..I0 you smother your con- science, it will ultimately wither and you will allow yourself to do evil, It is a simple creed requiring ' no learning or dogma. Quarters believe in extreme pacifism. Unlike those of other creeds they have never tried to convert by. the sword, but rather to convince by sword and precept. William Penn, son of an admiral, came under the influence of Fox but continued to wear his sword, as befitted a gentleman of the time. He d e u b t e d, however, - whether he should continue to de so and asked Fox's advice. "Wear thy sword," advised Fox in the Biblical phraseology Quakers then used, "as long as thou canst." Some weeks later he met Penn. "Where is thy sword?" he asked with a smile. "I wore it," said the other, "as long as I could." Ultimately, Penn went to America and founded the Quaker colony of Pennsylvania, and it is noteworthy that d u r i n g the. seventy-five years of Quaker domination, which is now known as the Golden Age of Colonial Tranquillity, not a single Quaker wasmassacredby an Indian; nor was a single Indian defrauded by a Quaker. Made Enemies Quake Quakers r e f us e to fight, but members of the Society of • Friends, which is their legal title, were not so named because they quaked in fear. They'were called Quakers because one of their op- ponents said that "Fox made his enemies quake and tremble at. the word of the Lord." Since their foundation the Quakers have been bitterly per- secuted. Fox himself was in and out of prison like a Jack-in-the- box. He was married to Margaret Fell, widow of Judge Thomas Fell, for nearly twenty - three years, but they enjoyed less than five years together. And of the early Quakers, a tenth of their number was always in jail. Gradually, p e o p 1.0 began to realize that there was more than a germ of truth in the Quaker idea of honesty and peace: And the Quakers grew in strength and made influential .converts. Quakers believe in extreme simplicity and turn their faces against all ceremony and ritual in their houses of prayer, abolishing even musical acgompaniments when they sing hymns. They also dress severely and live so Spartao a life that the Very Rev. W. it, Inge, former Dean of St. Peens, said: "The Quakers, of all Chris- tian bodies, have remained near- est to the teaching and example of Christ." In business they are scrupulous- ly honest, but they do not spurn money, "Make all you can, save . all you can, and give all you van," is the Quaker's rule. Commercial Success Men at first refused to trade with 9uakers, but their honesty became so widely know n that strangers, on entering a town fon business, would ask, "Where Is there a tradesman that is e Quaker?" No othercommunity, except perhaps the Parsees of In d I sy,, have been so successful in the world of industry and commerce. Two of the banks known as the Big Five, Lloyds and Barclays, were founded by Quakers. Quak- ers started the Sheffield steel and cutlery industries. Firms with names that are household words today were. founded by them: Bryant and May, the match manufacturers; Hornimans, whose Quaker tea is known throughout Carr, , the land;Street; Jacob, and Palmer's of Reading the biscuit people; James Reckitt, manufacturers of starches and -dyes; and George Bradshaw, of ailway time -table fame. Most people do not realize that these firm were founded by Quakers, though they know that the great chocolate houses of Cadbury, Fry, and Rowntree were. The fact that a business is run by a Quaker is a guarantee of honest dealing. And a proportion of all their profits is invariably set aside for charitable purposes.
