to talk about the boy to anybody
who will. listen. I remind her
they're not interested, but she
won't believe that. We live in a
small place, where everybody
knows each other's business, Her
parents are only trying to bring
her up properly, so that she will
be well thought of. I remind her
how much they love her. She says
they don't understand her! They
are, as a matter of fact, wise and

* You have covered the ground
* well. One angle should be em-
* phasized, the importance of a
* girl's reputation, particularly
* in a small community where
* her every move is observed
* and discussed. When she gets
* to the point where she realizes
* that her parents are trying to
* protect her from adverse tom-
* ment, she willseethey are on
* her side; only then will she
* recognize their authority more
* willingly, If they plan get -to-
* gethers for her friends (both
* sexes) and make her home the
* gathering place for the group,
* that will further their desire
* to multiply her good times and
.* increase her popularity,
* She needs frequent praise.
* She must feel her family is
* proud of her, and compliments
* will do that. Just now she feels
* older than she is, so it would
* be wise Yo treat her according-
* ly—suggeetinge instead of de-
* mending, tQshow how anxious
* they six to depend on her
* judgment insofar as they find
* they can:
* Let her chatter about her
* boy friend; he is her first, so
* she thinks she most boast. She
* must not feel she cannot talk
* about him openly. If she over-
* steps polite bounds, others will
* put her in her place and, for
* some young girls, that is the
* best way to learn restraint.
* It is admirable that she gives
* you her confidence—especially
* at her age. A relative is some-
* times easier to talk to than
* one's parents. Encourage her
* friendliness, and continue to
* let her feel you stand by.
* * *
It is hard to manage a young
girl whose first boy friend has
gore to her head. To keep her
confidence, yet steer a proper
social course, is a problem . .
Anne Hirst understands these
problems, so send yours to her.

ROBBER ROBBED
Thieving can prove to be the
start of a vicious circle, thinks
Douglas Odell, of Carmel, who
was caught, red-handed, commit-
ting a burglary. The police
agreed to his request to be es-
corted to his home for some
clothing.
Great was Odell's annoyance
when, on arriving home, he dis-
covered that his home, too, had
been burgled. Exclaimed the
embittered captive: "A fellow
can't lave anything lying around
without havi,+p it stolen. It's a
shame'."
Styled,' for conversation — So that blind -and -deaf individuals may
communicate more easily with persons who have all their facul-
ties, Rev. Ernst Christian S!bbersson, of The Church of The beef,
has designed the "communications" glove at right, fly 'use of a
,braille.imprinted cardboard "hand," at left, the user learns
position of letters on the glove, and is enabled to identify them
by pressure, when a sighted person touches various letters to
form words and sentences,

Remember Last week• I. said I
expected to be many miles from
home before I wrote again. And
I certainly was. Between last
week -end and this I. travelled
about a thousand miles, First
stop was Deep River, which was
the -setting for our son's wed-
ding. It was just a small affair
—not more than a dozen guests—
distance and accomodation lim-
ited the number of invitations.
It was too long a trip for Partner
with his strapped up shoulder;
Arthur couldn't get away so
Daughter came home and took
charge so•that I could represent
the family.
I won't make any attempt to
describe the wedding—after all
one wedding is much like an-
other, irrespective of size, There
'is alwaysthe jittery bridegroom;
the outwardly sell composed
bride; wedding pictures, recep-
tion, confetti, tossing the bride's
bouquet, and the' bright ideas of
the young folk to impede and em-
barrass the bridal couple on the
first lap of their honeymoon. So
I will spare you the, details and
tell you something of my trip.
Bob, Betty and I left home at
5 a.m. Friday. It was dark, warm
and somewhat foggy. I was look-
ing forward to the dawn to feast
niy eyes on new scenery. Actual-
ly, until we got past Peterbor-
ough I was a little disappointed.
After that I had no complaints,
Along No. 7 to Havelock, Madoc
and Kaladar it was rugged and
beautiful, jagged rock and ever-
greens on either side of the
road. At Kaladar we took No.
41.—through the loveliest scene-
ry. But oh, that road! Good sur-
face but narrow, winding and
continuous short, steep hills. It
was like riding, a roller -coaster.
For anyoneinclined. to be car-
sick it wouldn't be so funny. But
I loved it all, every inch of the
way. We passed dozens of sign-
posts pointing to inland lakes
where there were doubtless many
summer cottages, but not one
could we see from the road. I
would loved to have followed
some of those roads in through
the bush, But when a man 'is on
his way to his wedding he doesn't
stop for sight-see-ers, From
Cloyne onwards we passed many
sparkling lakes, in fact the far.
ther north we went the more
beautiful was the scenery —
through Eganville and on to
Pembroke, where we stopped for
dinner. 1 was expecting to see
a few bush fires but there
wasn't so much as a puff of
smoke. At Petawawe we did see
blackened earth and naked trees
from a fire which had long since
been extinguished. Following the
Ottawa River we arrived at Deep
River about 2 o'clock, passing
Chalk River. of atomic• fame. on
our way.
Deep River is a unique village,
unlike any other place I have
seen. It is a model village amid
natural rustic surroundings, bor-
dering the Ottawa River, and
looking over towards the Lauren-
tians. It is clean and tidy. Each
house, or 'double house, stands in
its own well -kept grounds, and
for dwellings without a garage,
there is a community garage on
each street with six double doors:
There is a shopping centre with -

in walking, distance with ten or
twelve stores in a row, complete
with a shaded sidewalk. Across
the road there is a wonderful
indoor recreation centre, also a
modern hospital, spacious hotel,
lovely walks and 'a beach. Sail
boats on the Ottawa complete
the picture.
Lovely, isn't it? But don't think
you can live there. Deep River is
company town. You can live
there only if ,,you have a job at
the Chalk River Atomic Plant.
You can't even get a room over-
night at the hotel. Our nephew
happens to be a physicist at the
Plant so he rates a house—and
the wedding was from his home,
the ceremony at the very modern
church in the village. But, while
only a chosen few, as it were,
can live at Deep River, the place
is well -worth a visit. But be
sure you don't drive mere than
ten miles an hour. There are nb
sidewalks and since most of the
homes are occupied by young
couples the roads are literally
swarming with dogs, children and
an assortment of bikes, tricycles
and kiddie -cars!
Well, sb much for Deep River,
Saturday I went by car to Otta-
wa and then by bus to Kempt-
ville to stay with friends until
Tuesday. Sunday we drove to-
wards Gananoque within sight
of .the Thousand Islands. Monday
we visited lovely Ottawa, pass-
ing through territory that was
entirely new to all of us. Tues-
day noon I boarded a bus for
home, coming through towns,
cities and villages which had pre-
viously only been names on a
map to me. Many times I thought,
"Oh, if I could only have an
hour or two to explore" partic-
ularly when .we passed "Abbey
Dawn."
Arthur met me in Toronto,
brought me home, and next morn-
ing took Partner and Dee 'lo
the Exhibition. I stayed home for
a change!
And then what do you think
happened? Next morning I had
to go down town. Coming home
I looked towards OUR Mountain.
There it was, in alternate sun-
light and shadow. Except that
the river was lacking, to me our
Mountain was just as lovely as
the Laurentians. After travel-
ling hundreds of miles I realized
to my satisfaction that few dis-
tricts had little more to offer
than our own little county of
Halton.

M.P.'s Awakening
A certain M.P.—who shall be
nameless—is a poor orator, but
he never minds people telling
him so.
Somebody called on him one
day and asked: "Is it true that
you yawned last evening at one
of your own speeches in the
House?"
"I certainly did," he replied.
"You should have heard the
speech — it was terrible!"
On another occasion the M.P.
declared: "I dreamt that I was
making a speech in the House.
I woke up and -- I wasl"
