E'VELYN". * When will you girls learn to * make the rules yourselves? * Why allow any boy to dictate * to you? This domineering youngster has the effrontery * to tell you WHEN he'll see * you; he demands you give up * all other boys, and stay at * home alone unless 'he con- * descends to come over. , . , And * then he adds that it is for your * own good! * So you, being in love, play * the role of door mat, For * what? You have never heard * him speak of love. You haven't * even his class ring to show to * the girls who question you. * And how do you know he is * not seeing somebody else on * the side? * All he wants is to be sure * you are HIS girl, yet you have * no assurance he won't change * his mind overnight and leave * you flat. * What you want (and it is *.little enough), is to be sure • that HE belongs you OU aS * surely as you belong to him. I * do not think you can be cer- * tain of that, so long as you * crawl to his commands and * submit to his overwhelming * egotism. The only "kind of a * girl he will take seriously at * this stage is one who respects * herself, who will not submit * to being treated like a moronic * child. * I suggest that you date any * nice boy you like, if only to * show him that other males * desire you, too. He needs to * be taught he cannot command * a nice girl as though she * belonged to him unless he * gives her the same loyalty he * demands. eik * No matter how "deep your * love, you could not be happily * married to him as he is today. * To keep your love, he will * have to deserve it. . * This counsel you will not * relish, but if you ever hope`to " win him, this is the one way * you may succeed. If you fail, • you can remind yourself cif he * wasn't worth having. * * A CONFUSED GYEL* "Dear Anne Hirst: I am a very confused girl just past my 16th birthday. The boys I go with seem to like me, but they want to disregard my standards of a lady, my ideals and true convic- tions for happy companionship. "Why don't more parents teach and warn their children bow to behave? I am appalled at the way our nice girls and boys are reduced to petting!

Why don't boys (otherwise nice) learn they must keep 'hands-off?' "I love my r friends but how can I have more in common with them and still hold fast to my true convictions? CONFUSED JANE" * Boys, especially of the age * that attract you, are apt to set * their own standards of be- * haviour -- but they do learn * from the girls they date. You, * for one, will hold onto your * convictions, and prove to the *boys you . know that mutual * respect is the first foundation * of companionship. They aren't * stupid, they will get the idea; * and if they do not want to be * friends with you for your awn * sake, they are not fit to see * you at all. * It is a pity, I agree, that so * many parents are too self- * conscious to guide their chit- * dren in proper relationships * between sexes, and warn them * of its dangers. A young girl should make the rules for her boy friend's be- haviour, and if he does not observe them she can know she is not important in his plans.... Anne Hirst knows the ins -and - outs of courtship. Write her frankly — Box 1, 123 Eighteenth Street, New Toronto, Ont. Two Too Many! Two British soldiers, on holi- day in Sweden, went into a church t3 'join in the service. Not understanding Swedish, they took their cues from the man sitting in front of them, They did pre- cisely what he did. At one point, the minister made a special announcement and the man arose. The Britons also quickly jumped to their feet, and a ripple of laughter spread through the congregation. The three men were the only ones standing, 'After ' the service, the soldiers made their way to the minister and asked why the people had; laughed. "Because," he said in uncertain English, "I announced a baptism and asked the father to stand ,up." ' Grandma eat 'Em A grandmother has come out on top in her private battle against big business in Bahl - mere, This is no mean achievement in any country; in the U.S.A., however, it is little short of phenomenal. The case of Grandmother Siep- kelewski versus the Leo, G. But- ler Construction Company came to a head in August, 1953, when the 57 -year-old widow built a fence around her property, thus enclosing $40,000 of the com- pany's building equipment that had been parked on her front lawn, Mrs. Sienkelewski, after about six months' fruitless dickering over rental terms, had decided this was the only way to bring matters to a head, Having run chicken wire around her boundaries, she then stood guard with a shotgun, Alone, she repelled a party 05 hostile workers who attempted to retrieve their property by force. "No rent, no equipment," said Granny firmly. After a week's stalemate, dur- ing which the company's large building came to a halt, and Grandma hardly dared shut an eye, the company brought up its heavy artillery. Its legal force advised Mrs. Sienkelewski she was liable for damages, and her own lawyer advised her to give Way. The equipment was peacefully re- moved. :Most 'people think Grandma got the best of the battle, Showers Of Fish Yoro,of in Down !n the town Honduras, the inhabitants are once again preparing for their anpual.harvest,of the. skies.

I generally have supper ready and waiting. The kitchen door opens and through it, in this order, come the following: Honey, our blonde. cocker span- iel. Partner, with' the day's sup- ply of eggs. Mitchie-White, house -cat, tail in the air. Black • roe, barnyard cat •• • except at meal -times, tail drooping. And bringing up the rear in an or- derly,, leisurely fashion, Tippy, our ten -year-old collie. Honey tears around from cat -dish to dog -dish hoping to find a crumb of something somewhere, or perhaps a wee drop of milk in one of the cats' dishes, Finding there isn't she sits as close to the stove as she can get, her nose almost touching it. Tippy flops down under the" kitchen table. Mitchie-White and Black Joe are soon engaged in a wrestling match. Partner looks at me with .a grin and says — "Well, I guess we are all here — is supper ready?" During supper peace reigns supreme, But after supper , • Partner goes out to milk. I start to, clear the table — fall over one cat while the other walks around my feet. Honey rushes ' anxiously back and forth. Tippy comes. under the, table and the wag of her bushy tail creates as much draught as an electric fan I open She kitchen door. Honey goes' out to the woodshed, bringing back her tin supper - dish in her mouth. She drops that, goes back again and this time returns with Tippy's dish. I mix up the dogs' feed and take it out to the woodshed. For the cats there is bread and milk and scraps, in a big flat soup plate so that both may eat at once. Now, at last, there is peace in the family. Perhaps for half - an hour or so I might even get a little typing done, Unless the, telephone rings a few times or some of our family drops in for a late meal. But I don't think that will happen tonight. Bob and Joy phoned in great glee this morning — -their first call after having a telephone installed, ''So now," said Joy, "we are in contact with the Outside world," 1 think I must 0 give theman egg -timer to Warn them when their three minutes is up.

One moter was dead, The other had been hit and gave out just as they crossed the coast, Another three minutes flying time Would have saved their lives. Saturday night there was a hockey game between the Leafs and Boston, Three .minutes left for the Leafs MI even the score. But three minutes wasn't` long enough. Last Tuesday. I was in Toronto, Just before train -time I •was talking to Dee from Art's office on Wellington Street. "What time did you gay your train was due out?"Art interrupted. "Five -forty." "You'll never make it— it is 5.30 now." "Oh no," I argued, "your clock .is three Minutes fast." I made it with two minutes to spare. If the lights had been against me it might have been 'a different. story. Speaking of "a different story". — here is one. I discovered I , have something in common with Ernest Hemingway. We have both been presumed dead! Only with this difference, Hemingway 'was presumed dead ' by " the whole world. I'by only one' per- son. It happened' this way.

This is what she said to me. Youmust have thought Lints rather queer last week when you called,but really your -cora- ing was quite a shock. You see I thought you had passed away a iew years ago. I think I still cut out of the clipping I have h h g PP the mere' Just another - case of mistaken identity, of course. One thing I must say, It was 'really very nice to find the lady quite pleased that I am still very much alive. ' And -now just a word to my correspondents. There was quite a demand for my ,transfer pat- terns so that it kept me busy to spread them around, however, I.ltope everyone felt the returns were worth the effort in sending for them; Now may 5 say "thank you" for the many "thank you" letters to me- that are comini in as a result.
