"Dear Anne Hirst: I certainly
agree with your advice to 'Be-
wildered Wife' about her mother-
in-law, My husband's mother is
almost an exact duplicate. Before
marriage she accepted me, but on
our very wedding day she chang-
ed to a vicious animal, She sowed
seeds of hate immediately and
successfully,
"She also is neurotic, and car-
ries on until she gets her way.
My husband admits she is wrong,
but he never took my side, and
excused everything with 'She's
my mother.'
I had put my heart and soul
into my marriage. I worked and
prayed hard for it to be a suc-
cess, but to no avail. She created
such ill will that I lost all res-
pect for her and also for my bus -
band I saw him as he was, a
spineless jellyfish. She kept us
at each others' throats when I
was pregnant, and she, too, told
me her son was too good for me.
Her attacks gnawed. They left

me a broken person, without faith
in God or humanity.
"Finally I realized it was fruit-
less to try to please her. I broke
with her before we were mar-
ried two years. I have never re-
gretted the step.
"Soon we will have been mar-
ried five years. The nightmare is
slowly fading. My faith has been
restored, and since I no longer
hear her ugly lies and unkind
words, I am growing normal
again.
"My husband continues to pay
his respects to her, but our boy
does not know his grandmother.
I have borrowed her phrase, 'My
son is too good for you.' I never
dreamed it would end this way,
but she brought it on herself. I
am made of flesh, too, and there
is a limit to my endurance. She
is lucky she was not sued for
alienation of affections,

Anne Hirst, and your patience

Children For

It was twilight in Columbus,
Ohio, Visibility is always bad
for a motorist at twilight, and
it was particularly bad en this
night. Dr. Warren Wheeler hard-
ly saw the dark -clothed boy be-
fore he hit him:
Jimmy Jordan was uncon-
scious for weeks, but he recov-
ered, thanks largely to Wheel-
er's seeing to it that the boy
had the best medical care. But
out of a chance remark the mo-
torist made to a reporter at the
time of the accident,something.
even more important than one
boy has emerged,
"Wby, why couldn't that child
have been wearing some kind of
clothes or identifibation that
would stand out at nighti" he
said.
Eventually a campaign got
under way to rut the rising toll
of children run down by motor-
ists because of poor visibility
Its purpose is to ether strips
of Nite-Ray, like the luminous
red stuff one sees on motor -ear
bumpers, to the outer clothing
of all children under 14.
The idea is that motor -car
headlights will readily pick up`
the luminous strips •- white in
this case -- the child is wear-
ing and reduce the toll , of traf•
flc deaths,
The big drive is 1.n continue
through the four months of poor-
est evening driving visibility
A few months after Jimmy
Jordan's accident, samples of
cloth manufactured by a com-
pany which makes red strips
for bumpers arrived in Colum-
bus. They had impregnated the
cloth with the same light-rc-
flectirg qualities po aesssd by the
bumper strips.
The blind people at Monnet
liaise. Columbus. eager to help
save the lives of children they
could never see, went to work
cutting, the luminous cloth into
strips, and fixing the strips ' in
sets of two to pieces of coloured
cardboard bearing directions for
their use and a traffic safety
pledge to be signed by,,.the reci-
pient,
All of the local newspaper's
carrier boys are wearing the
Nite-Ray strips. usually sewn
around the shoulder seams and
sleeves of their coats, and other-
wise voicing the campaign bat-
tle cry, 'Be Safe - Be Seen."
One woman made rosettes of
the material and sewed them to
the shoulders of her daughter's
coat. Another made up floral
ear -rings. A third tied her
daughter's pigtails with ribbons
made of the material.

A new addition' has been added
to our tinnily. We have named her
"Annie" because she was born on
the eve of our wedding anniver-
sary, Her mother's name is May
and she is a direct descendant
of Daisy Durham, who was one -
of the first members to join our ,
family when we started fanning
in Ontario just over 30 long years
ago. The name of Annie's father
is "Lord Nelson" and he lives at
Maple, Ontario. Annie has a nice,
Duffy white fur coat with a few
reddish -brown patches here and
there, and she is really very act-
ive considering she is only two"
days old. Actually Annie wasn't-.
too anxious to- enter this .cold,
snowy world and managed to
postpone her arrival for two
whole days, After that the forces
of nature were too strong for her
and she finally made her appear-
ance,
unaided and alone, .We
thought perhaps she. might bring
a brother or sister along with her
for company. But ire; she Caine by
herself and was quite proud of,
her achievement,•in-feet it wasn't- -
long before she was standing on
her feet, ambling around her
mother, gazing at her somewhat
boastfully, saying just as plain as
could be, "Hey Ma! I did it!"
Boastfulness, however, soon
gave way to the pangs of hunger,
as in calf language she said to
her mother, "Look, Ma, now I'm
here, what's to eat, and where de
I get it?"
Well, that was one incident in
connection with our anniversary.
The other occurred when Bob and
Joy walked in with a gorgeous
bunch of daffodils. Why is it that
spring flowers look so much love-
lier in the middle of winter?
Never have daffodils looked so.
yellow and cheerful as the ones
that adorn our house today. We
also had a disappointment. Dee,
Art and David were to have come
out for the clay and then' at the
last minute they had to cancel
their plans, so as a sort of con-
solation prize we got a lovely
card and a picture of our grand-
son. Apparently the young tinker
is growing out of all recognition
so we are getting quite impatient
to see him,
We" are still not very happy
about the weather, pot knowing
quite what to expect from day to
day, Big trucks and little trucks
have been getting throuigh the
lane but when I fried to get out
with the car, oh, that was quite
a different story.I got about a
quarter of the way out and there
I sat, 'wheels digging and spin -
ring like fury. Presently Partner
came to the rescue, thought if
he dug here and dug there I could
get out all right. But all the dig-

fort. I am getting lots of exercise

Often down again for something

mitts in the house to keep my
hands warm. If we had td live
under the same conditions today
we could not do it. To those days
belonged, hard work, many pri-
vations, but a greater peace of
mind, We had no car, no radio,
very few neighbours, our only
means of communication was the
telephone and aur only news-
paper the gond old Family Her-
ald and Weekly Star. Disasters in
other parts of the world did not
affect us at all—somethnes we
didn't even hear of them until
they had ceased io be news. Our
worries were purely local — the
weather, the price of wheat and
oats, harvesting our crops and
the health of our families. Today
we have the swine worries, plus
the pressure of modern living.
News comes to us bot off the
wires, To keep pace with it we
need a brain as agile as a cricket.
Whether we live in the city -or
country makes little difference.
For this reason don't you think
we should make an effort to get
a little morequietness into our
lives, quietness , that isn't pos-
sible if radio sob stories fill our,
minds hour after hour, day after
eday? Quietness has become almost'
an unknownquantity--we need -
to treasure what little of it re-
mains,
How Can. I?
Q. Ilow can I clean suede
shoes without injuring the suede?
A. An ordinary. rubber sponge,
such as can be bought at any ten -
cent store, the tight sort that has
a good resistance, is excellent for
keeping the suede shoes clean.
It willl remove all the dust and
soil without harming the fabric,
as so many of the very stiff
brushes are inclined to do.
Q. What can Disse as a sub-
stitute for olive oil?
A. When your supply of olive
oil is running low, when making
salad dressing, melt butter and
add it teethe oil. It makes a good
substitute,
Q. How can I prepare some"
thing different. in , the way of
dessert?
A, Try a combination of
chocolate ice cream and orange
sherbet, It makes a very colorful
dessert, and a. delicious one.
Q. How can I nuke an at-
tractive garnish with cranberry
jelly?
A. Slice the cranberry jelly
and cut into fenny shapes with a
cookie cutter or a knife, and you
will have. all unusual and attrac-
tive garnish for salads and cles-
serts,
Q. How can 1 relieve a head-
ache?
A, A home remedy that oftenn
brings relief is to place a pinch
of salt' on the otongue and allow
it to dissolve. Ire about ten min-
utes, take a drink of cold water.
Q. clow den I avoid the un-
pleasanty'moke that sometimes
arises when cooking hotcakcs?
A. 'By tying some salt in a
bag and rubbing the griddle with
this instead of greasing it. It
is quite satisfactory,
Q. How can I prevent cracks
le the enamel of a starve?
A. Never try to wipe off the.
enamelled range with a wet
cloth while' it is still hat. The
fine enamel surface tray become
marred by unsightly cracks,
Q,
How can I protect the wall
paper over the couch front porn
Ade that mets use ott'their heads"
A. By placing a tapestry over
this place. This is much easier
to clean than the greasy spots
on wall paper.

an injustice, Some font remain
single because their standards
are high. What about Yvonne de

Gloria Nord, who starred in

Then there's Sophie, said to

will probably never 'marry.
"An Egyptian husband," she
sighs, "would never allow me to
continue with it. It would be
considered unsuitable."

whose names don't hit the head-

Unless you know where he
