them, but he doesn't say with

* I suggest you and the baby

4 a playboy.
* Marriage does not mean
* merely the possession of a
* wife and a child. It means
* taking on responsibilities that
* change a young man's purpose
* in life. He is no longera free
* agent; he is the head of a fam-
* fly who depend upon him not
* only for security, but fur love
* and kindness and undiluted
* loyalty, The freedom and ad-
* venture of his bachelor days
* are past; for them he must
* substitute a husband's protec-
* tive concern for his wife's wet-
* fare and contentment, and a
* parent's guidance and can-
* structive planning for his
* child's future,
" All this will be news to this
* husband of yours. He has some
* hard and painful thinking to
" do, which is not going to be
* easy for one of his nature.
* Whether he can do it at all
" depends upon his admission
* that his marriage is at stake.
* Perhaps beneath his light-
* hearted approach to life there
* lies the moral strength that
* he needs,
* The time for argument has
* passed. Action is the only
* course that will impress him
* I think you should take it,
" temporarily, and let him find

* means to him. After all, he
* does love you. How much, he
* will have his chance to prove.
"Dear Anne Hirst: May 1 warn
women who have their own in-
comes against fortune-hunters?
Last year I married a man I
thought was wonderful - and in
a few months' time I learned he
was only after my money.
"I have at last got rid of. him
- and saved part of my inherit-
ance. . It is better to stay
lonely than be betrayed as I was!
LEARNED LATE"
Newspapers brim with tales of
impecunious rascals who defraud
trusting women. They find out
what a woman is worth, and
persuade her to let them invest
her money. If she refuses, they
will even marry her.
It is not easy for a lonely wo-
man to doubt an attentive and
charming man; they are so grate-
ful to have someone looking
after them. Too late they learn
they have been robbed. How
lucky you are to have saved
part of your income, at least....
Thank you for your warning,
Bachelor -into -husband is an
abrupt and frightening change.
But when a young man becomes
a husband and a father, he must
mature deliberately to deserve
both titles.... For years, Anne
Hirst has succeeded in helping
young couples toward harmoni-
ous living. Write her at Box 1,

Now, at itu,g' last, it can be
told! As of October 26, 1953, Part-
ner and I became grandparents,
Daughter being the mother of a
baby boy. His name is David John
and we are all 'very happy and
proud. The long time of waiting
is over; anxiety almost dispelled;
mother and sen were discharged
from the hospital yesterday - so
now a new era in family life be-
gins for us all.
Previous to his birth there was
the usual speculation as to the
baby's sex -Dee and Arthur both
wanted a son sb much that every-
one was certain it would be a
daughter. But Partner, if you
please, was hoping it would be
a little girl!
However, you know how it is,
boy or girl, it doesn't really mat-
ter just solong as the mother
and baby are all right. David
weighed 7 pounds at birth and
is long in the body and not over-
ly fat but that I imagine will
son be remedied if he gets along
' as well as most other babies do
these days,
Of course, 1 had to pay a visit
to the hospital as soon as it was
permitted and I was allowed to
see our grandson through the

Suspenders For Tots - A self -
diapering 'creeper that elimin-
ates safety pins and holds the
"three -cornered pants" in place

latest addition to junior's ward-
robe. Made of white cotton, this
nursery fashion is fitted with a
soft, washable plastic lining for

window o1 the nursery, There
were plenty of other babies there
too, and as I watched them snug-
ly sleeping in their little cots I
thought how ridiculous it is for
anyone to say that all babies look
alike at birth, Having once, seen
him I would be able to recognize
David again from among 50 bab-
ies. There was one little Chinese
baby there as cute .as a button;
and another was a little darkie.
Among them all there was only
one that I would call pretty --and
that wasn't our grandson!
The hospital was terribly busy
and short of help, which meant
that I had to wait 45 minutes past
the regular visiting hours before
I was allowed on the floor - no
one being permitted to visit even
a private patient until all the bab-
ies were back in the nursery. As I
was leaving, four nurses came
down the corridor, obviously
coming off duty and they looked
absolutely dead -beat. Every time
I am in hospital --big or small• -
I wonder how nurses keep going
day in and day out always on
their feet, always at the beck
and call• of . their patients, It is
certainly a very excreting service.
Nurses, of coarse, must show
consideration for their patients,
but 1' often think that 'patients,
once past the critical stage, could
often show a 'little more consid-
eration towards their nurses. How
much a little thoughtfulness is
appreciated only a nurse con tell
you.
Well, to get in my two-hour
visit -at the hospital I had to catch
an 8 o'cloek train in themorn-
ing, returning 6,40 at night,. so
I put in the rest of the day, shop-
ping, telephonigg,' riding on
streetcars and roaming around
in the Roferente Library, which
2 had never visited before, 1 came
-away green with envy for the op-
portunities my city friends have
that are not available to inc. Not
but what we have an excellent
library in our nearby town but
naturally it can't compare with a
big library. So often I am badly
in need of information for a• free-
lance article but how ,to get it is
my problem, even though. I am
fully aware that all the informa-
tion I Want is in Toronto, free of
charge, if I just had more oppor-
tunity to take advantage of it.
What irks me is the number of
people who could visit such places
as the Library, the Ivloseum and
the Archives, just don't bother
to go at all,
However, not all the interest-
ing places are in the city. Friday
Partner and I were near Hespel- '
er, visiting at a farm. While the
men were discussing cattle, crops
and building improvements the
far'mer's wife and I went to Hes-
peler and Preston to have a look-
see at the woollen mills and blan-
ket factory. I took five pounds
of old woollens along with me,
paid $4.40 in cash and received in
exchange a full-size wool blan-
ket. Maybe not in the same class
as one particular make of satin -
bound blanket, very popular as
a wedding gift, but a very nice
blanket just the same. I also had
the satisfaction of knowing mate-
rial was being utilized that would
otherwise have gone into the rag
bag. Last spring I had th,e mis-
fortune to get a lot of moths in
the house and they played havoc
with things I had put on one side
to make over, However, even
moth-eaten goods are acceptable
to the factory, just so long as
they are clean and all -wool.
Coming home Partner and I
out across country instead of
sticking to the highway. What a
road! Hills and hollows and hair-
pin turns all the way -15 miles
of it. Was I glad when we struck
the highway again. On that one
point Partner and I never agree.
He likes the country roads; I pre-
fer the highways. On a main mid
you at least know what is ahead
of you. On 'a cross -road, there is
so little traffic you are apt to
get careless -turn your head to
look : at something and that is
the very minute a car comes out
of a Janeway or zooms over one
of those treacherous little hills.
Odd '= oohs arkks
What do you use for, a book-
mark? Probably a bus ticket or
'an old envelope but, unfortunate-
ly, all readers have not such
simple tastes. Every year library
officials fund sufficient specimens
left in books to form a museum
of odd markers.
Anything from a pipe -cleaner
to a razor blade seems to be
used by some people .to mark
the place where they left off.
At a library In Gateshead last
year ,a small boy even returned
a book with a slice of bread -
and -jam between the leaves. In
another case the librarian dis.
covered a kipper "marking the
place,"
Student often leave old exam-
ination papers with sheafs of
notes, and country lovers have
a habit of returning pressed
leaves and flowers.

Great Business
Humbly Started
If young John Goieh had not
been fired with something of the
spirit of earlier Eizabethan ad-
venturers, is great business would
not have been founded.
Born at Kettering, Northants,
in 1829, Gotch had already era',
grated to America and was learn-
ing dentistry in New York when
fabulous tales of gold to be found
in far-off Australia lured him to
further travel.
He embarked on a voyage that
nearly ended in disaster. For
word leaked out that the rascally
skipper had obtained secret in-.
atructions to sink the ship toob-
tain insurance, ' so the crew
promptly clapped him in Irons
' and sailed the clipper to Brazil.
An even more exciting advent-
ure was In store for Gotch dur-
ing the next stage of his journey,
when his ship was wrecked off
Mauritius. He reached shore safe-
ly; but' with only his case of
dental instruments and the night-
shirt he was wearing. Fortunate-
ly, he was able to borrow some
clothes from a clergyman, pre-
sumably the kindly cleric's only
set -for he was forced tb stay in
bed while young Gotch scoured
the town for a new suit!
Gotch eventually reached the
gold -crazed city of Melbourne and
joined the mass trek of diggers to
the fields, but all he' ever found
was one tiny nugget. Down to
his last nickel, and anxious for
news of home, he called at the
newspaper stall of Alexander
Gordon.
The elderly Scot was at once
struck with his young visitor's
eager personality, and offered him
a job selling newspapers to the
miners on the diggings,
His drive and energy soon
earned him a partnership; time,
humbly, began the story -graphi-
cally told in "Gordon & Gotch,
London," a superbly illustrated
centenary tribute - of the firm
which today exports over 70 per
cent of Britain's newspapers and
magazines.
Although nowadays Messrs.
Gordon & Gotch trade' in many
things -"from pins to steamroll-
ers'—the 10,000 tons of news-
papers and magazines shipped
yearly is still their main concern.
The vast sale of magazine ship-
ments is best judged -by the an-
nual amount of packing materials
used: '129 miles of canvas and
waterproof ,paper; - '78 miles . of
steel looping; 44 miles of timber;
52,000 sacks; 4 tons of brown
paper; 7 tons of rope and string
... and 23/a tons of paste.

Plane From Crash
When the lights of Seoul sir-

bank, Captain A. J'. Ding, of .Cali-
fornia, pulled back the stick and
sideslipped his heavy transport
into the landing circuit.
A few miles farther on he at-

thing had gone wrong with the

• For the next ninety minutes
-1cing wrestled with the narrow
shoulder of the wing, trying to
free the wheels by hand; while
his co-pilot kept the big 'plane
circling, using the fuel that might
burst into flames if they crashed.
The wheels wouldn't budge, so
the sweating Captain Ding went
aft to tell the passengers to get
ready .to bail Out, Then, in the
cargo hold he noticed fpr the
first time several cases of salad
oil. Grabbing' bottles, he raced
back to the wing and poured their
contents into the oil -starved hy-
draulic system. The . wheels
spread out below, and the 'plane
made a perfect landing.
