I'zn 17, ha'a a year Older. My parents object violently, and now they don't want me to see him at all! "They say his family are not much good; I know that some of them have ben in trouble, but he has never done anything dis- honorable. He is kind and con- siderate, and has always been a perfect gentleman, . , . I have tried to talk to my parents, but my father is a very stubborn man and insists the boy is no good. He also says he would never have anything, because my friend quit school and worked in a filling station; but now he has a better job, and is saving money for our future. "We are both very much in love, but we want to be sensible and not rush into marriage, We have agreed to wait until I am 21. I don't mind, but it is going to be very hard now, since I can- not see him, "If you could only help me convince my father that we love each other, and that wereally, can get along when we get mar - iron -on Designs in Vibrant Colors s AW, Not a stitch!

ADIVIIT PARENTS', ARGUMENT * I anticipate you will have * a hard time trying- to change * yettr parents' minds. Your * father, especially, is going to * be difficultto convince, Like * many thoughtful parents, he * propably feels there is "bacl * blood" in the boy's family * which is apt to reflect .in his * conduct later on; he will also * object to his own grandchil- * dren inheriting such a strain. * I know both ideas seem harsh * and far-fetched but I expect * neither has not'occured to you. * Marriage is not just the * union of two people; it is the * merging of two groups of an- * cestors through their children * and later generations. This is * how your parents are viewing * the situation, and you will, I * am sure, acknowledge its im- * portance, * As to the young man's econ- * omic promise, your father be- * lieves that a well-rounded edu- * cation is the best preparation * for a' respected career and * security, and I agree. One * must admit, however, that "big * money" is sometimes earned * from lowly beginnings. The * boy's acceptance of a manual * job offered when he needed it, * his proven ambition, and his * responsible attitude toward the * future, are in his favor, * The next two or three years * can prove you two right in * your Judgment, or wrong. * Remember, too, that you are * both very young to be so sure * that your love will . endure. * Though you sem remarkably * mature, you are certainly too * young to be dating just one boy. * I could wish you might see * each other occasionally. If you. * promise to see others, too, and * not consider yourself engaged * to this one, your parents may * consider the suggestion. At * any rate, ask them both to * read this opinion. * If they are determined, how- * ever, to separate you complete- * ly, your mutual faith should * sustain you, as it would if the * boy were away in service, When you and your parents disagree on any serious question, tell Anne Hirst about it. She has the viewpoint of both generations, and can explain one to the other. Address her at Box 1, 123 Eight- eenth St., New Toronto, Ont. MADE IT ALONE It was Memorial Day, 1911, in Indianapolis. The world's great- est daredevil drivers with their mechanics climbed into their racing cars for the famous 500 - mile classic. But one car had only one man in its cockpit! It was Ray Harroun, and he was going to race that grueling grind without a mechanic, alone! "He'll never make it!" the fans told each other. "It's impossible! He's gotta have a mechanic in there to tell him when another car is coming up behind him!" But Ray Harroun had different ideas. "Too much weight cuts. down speed," he declared, and swung into the race. The cars roared around the speedway and 500 miles later, the checkered flag flashed down on the winner. It was Ray Harroun, the lone, driver! Ile had done it withrn• the aid of a second man in t cockpit! And strangely enoug.. Ray Harroun wasaware of every- thing verything going on behind him in the great rade. For that day in In- dianapolis, he had perfected and successfuly used the first rear- view mirror! Took A Little Work, But -- Eleven -year-old Paul Milburn spent 25 cents for old bicycle parts of a police auction, and above you see the finished result -- an "as -good -as -new" bike. Paul's brother/ • John, lends a helping hand deeming the rear wheel. How Can I Q.

As do the cows, poultry 'and the cats and -dogs Yesterday morning I had to go clown town for the essentials of life -.-that was before: it got really cold.

There were plenty -of' cars parked on Main Street and al- most every other, car had its motor idling, fumes bellowing out from the exhaust pipe, the drivers doing their best to pre- vent ice coating the windshield, which it would do in spite of the frantic wig-waggingof the wind- shield wipers.

In- side of five mcaves you could park anywhere an e street. Why, oh why. is there always such a rush to the scene of a fire? I feel the urge myself, al- though I don't give in to it—too many cars around certainly ham- per the fire-fighters in their work. The attraction of a fire must surely be in response to a primitive instinct in man. Young children always have to be taught its danger for the instinct of almost every child is to play with fire. Maybe Dr. Brock Chisholm could supply the an- swer. But back to driving and driv- ing hazards. I always notice the safest time to drive is when driv- ing conditions are bad. There is more courtesy, more considera- tion between motorists then than at any other time—and certainly less speeding. Which proves that road and weather conditions are less of a hazard than fair-weather drivers. However, when the weather is bad it is a nice, comfortable time to stay at home and get caught up on jobs that we know should be done, and, we promise our - Now!

Well, you know better than I do be- cause you know what you have left undone, I certainly know what my sins of omission are. However, just as a reminder, have you made your last will and testament? I'mean that in all seri- ousness, If you have not made a will have you ever considered what will happen to your per- sonal possessions—the awful job it will be for those who are left behind to straighten out your af- fairs? It is a strange thing, par- ents will sacrifice so muah to give their children almost any- thing in life and yet be guilty of this one supreme act of selfish- ness—failure to make a will. And that applies tit the wife and moth- er just as much as to the husband and father. Surely you don't want to be the cause .of unpleasantness in your 1;amily; to create an .ar- gument as to who shall have mother's silverware and who the lovely pieced quilts? It can so easily be avoided by a simple will stating who shall have this thing and that. It isn't even necessary to consult a lawyer about that sort of will. A straightforward statement; simply worded, writ- ten is ink, dated and signed is., all that is necessary, Of course, ff there is money or real estate involved, then a lawyer should be engaged to draft the wilL Too often complications arise through incorrect wording. Even if a law- yer is engaged snags sometimes arise- For instance, not so long ago a friend of mine died. A law- yer had charge of her affairs but in making out her will this friend neglected to make any mention of her personal effects, She had been very proud of a very lovely two -strand pearl necklace. Each of her daughters-in-law thought they should have the pearls. Be- cause they could not agree the executor ruled that the pearls be worn by their late owner and be buried with her. This is exactly what happened. There is one common cause for many people not making a will just plain superstition. Be- lieve me, you won't die one day sooner for making a will. In fact, you may live longer because your conscience will he at rest. You will have that comfortable feel- ing that your affairs are in order. Your blood pressure may drop several degrees as a result! Try it some time—you will be sur- prised at the difference it makes. Is This Where Television Is Heading ? Praetical television is hardly twenty years old. But we have come a long way from the early programmes of people sweating and blinking under blinding lights, wllen a handful of viewers were excited by pictures which to -day would make them want to smash the sat. What will television . pro- grammes be like in another twenty years? Great technical developments will bring the Newer pro- grammes more varied and more vivid than are possible to -day, One development is only just round the corner. The television camera should become as light and portable as the movie - camera of to -day. With "germanium crystals" replacing the cumber- some valves now used, the space required for cOmplex apparatus may be halved and the weight reduced to a tenth. Already in the U.S.A. a television set with no ordinary tubes has been demonstrated. Both cameras and rdeelvers will become portable to a de- gree that hardly seems possible to -day, One task for these new lightweights in the near future will be transmitting pictures from rockets fired high above the earth. Before twenty years have passed viewers may get "live" pictures transmitted from fifty, a hundred, or even thou- sands of miles above' the earth. When the first man -carrying rocket takes off, viewers all over the world may be able not only to watch the take -off, but also see what the world looks tike from the rocket. Looking far- ther ahead,' viewers may be given a real "trip round the moon," not, with clever studio faking, but from a rocket circl- ing moon. Germanium crystals are much more robust than radio tubes now in use. They will be able to survive the shocks of a rocket travelling at thousands of miles an hour. Long before twenty years have pased. I expect to find the whole world linked for televi- sion. Within a few years Ame- rica and Europe should be link- ed by relay stations across the North Atlantic. It will be poss- ible for television cameras to cover events anywhere from the Argentine to Newfoundland, from Ireland to the Iron Cur- tain, writes Professor A. Id. Low in "Answers." , World boxing championships and football matches will be seen simultaneously but at a different times by their clocks — in twenty different coun- tries, In twenty years the net- work may well embrace Africa, ASIA, and Australia, so that any event of importance anywhere can be 'shown on Countless mil- lions illions of screens. By that time planes will be able to fly round the wofild in 24 hours, and I forsee the com- pletion of a world-wide telpvi- •Sion network being celebrated by, . a round-the-elock pro- gramme such as "Follow the Sunrise Round the World," Cok,ur television has already been commercially demonstrated and will probably be Universal. It will add to the attractiveneaa of the underwater programmes I foresee being transmitted. Television cameras are being built already to work 100 feet and more under the sea for pur- poses of exploration, salvage, and submarine rescue. Pictures from these cameras have been transmitted not mere- ly to the ship above, but relay- ed to the shore. I expect view- ers in the future to see in theit^ homes all the wonders of the tropical underwater seascape, perhaps with the commentator in an agualung explaining what they are seeing from the bot- totn,of the sea! Only in the last few years has It been possible to explore the wonderfully beautiful and var- ied scenery of the sea-bed. Now we have the means to bring this world of colour to every home. Once the seascape has lost its novelty, producers will prob- ably consider the possibility of using it ,as a background, and we may have whole television plays acted under water, The mermaids of the 1974 television pantomine may meet King Nep- tune in real water, instead of having to rely on waving trans- parent curtains to give the effect of being under the sea.
