We had our plans all made; we did with- out a lot of things, and saved some money, Now he has de- cided he wants to forget the whole thing — because, I be- lieve, his family are very jealous of his marrying. "I have dated other boys, but found it hard to adjust myself, He, too, has been dating another girl, which leads him into a fast and drinking crowd. He still manages to see me every day (as he used to) and we have had sneak dates many times — be- cause he is afraid someone will see us and tell his family. "When he -is with me he Ieads me to believe that I am the only one he cares for, but hejust won't DO anything about itl He says he isn't having a good time, and will stop seeing this girl; but he doesn't keep his promise. Now we have reached the point where he lies to me and to. others as well... , I even tried going away, but it didn't work. What should I do? "WORRIED" * What self - respecting .girl * would marry a weakling? If * this . young man loves' you * enough, he may be able to be- * come a strong, honest charac- * tar. Until he does, (if he can) * he is not fit to marry any girl. * When a man in his late 20'0 * allows his family to run his * lite, he is still an adolescent * with no backbone. When he * deceives his people, and lies * to his fiancee, he has no in- * tegrity. You may still love * him, and be care for you — * bat he does not care enough * to develop the sturdy quali- * ties that every good husband % * must have to keep any girl, * contented. Unless he will * stand on his own feet, and be * honest with you all, marr'yhrg * him could bring you only a * precarious satisfaction. * The only way to put him to * the test is to refuse to see him * at all. You are not the girl * to enjoy clandestine meetings; * in your heart, you must des- * . pise them. Once you were his * fiancee, whom he apparently * honored; how can he honor * you now, if you are a party to * this double life he is leading? * Tell him that now it is YOU * who are forgetting the whole * thing." You will not accept a * second-best, a spurious love * that dishonors its beloved and * adds deceit to that. * He cannot evaluate the *. quality of his affection until * he has to go on without you. * So remove yourself from the * scene — and wait to learn the * truth. * * DOUBTING WIFE "Dear Anne Hirst: I am 25, the mother of two children, and considered attractive. But late- ly my husband has seemed indif- ferent toward me, Night after night I sit at home with the children, while he goes out, and several times he has come home intoxicated and with Iipstick on his collar. "I have discussed this with several people, and they have advised divorce, I do not be- lieve in divorce because of the children, so I am writing you for advice, I always read your column, and agree with your ad- vice to others. Thank you. R. E.

RONICLES M 1NGE�t�A G *t dA There has to be a first time for anything that happens — and last Monday we certainly had it, We had ghostly visita- tions at.Giuger"Farm! I had just come back from town. Every- thing was in' order and I was _ preparing to make a cup of tea:' Partner was in the sitting -room. I heard a queer, rumbling noise — and then Partner's voice — "What on earth .was that?" he exclaimed. He went first -to the window and 'then to' the front, door. Not a thing in sight — not in the air, on the road. or in our lane. And, yetit had sounded as if a heavy transport had been heading straight for the house. We'wete eompletelyr mystified. However, the kettle ' was boiling and a cup of tea helps any situation. As .wesat enjoying our tea I turned on the radio for the news. But the radio was dead politer off. Just a minor interruption, we thought, it will . probably come on again, in a few minutes -- It being a perfect day and .no, high winds to disrupt the ser- vice. We waited 'about thirty minutes, then Partner began tit think about choresand. no -pow- er for .the .milking machines. So I tried to phone the hydro office. But the phone was as dead as the hydro: "What in heck is going on around here?"' said Partner. "I don't know,"- I an- swered, "but I guess it's time we found out" I got in the car., and headed for town. But I didn't get very far. What I saw in the lane made me go back for Partner in a hurry. Right down the lane was a fan- tastic tangle of wires, hanging in loops and strings from the hydro and wires clear to the ground. We went down to the road. There we 'found the source of the trouble. Our telephone wires cross to the far side of the road. Normally there are two wires — now there was only one. The mystery was part- ly explained. It was evident some vehicle, with a high pro- jection, had gone along the road, caught the telephone wire with such force that the wire had snapped back, broken .in three places up our lane and twisted itself around the hydro poles and wires. No wonder we were without power or telephone. In fact the hydro was off right up the line. I went on my way down town and a hydro servict man was out in short order and soon had' the mess of wires un- tangled. Then the telephone man came out, looked at the damage and decided nothing could be done that night as it would be necessary to put in a whole new line right from the house to the road. So that was that. it explained the ghostly rumblings we had heard. It was also tangible evi- dence that too little attention is paid to the height of loaded vehicles travelling the highways as this was the third time our telephone line' had been broken where it crosses the road. We don't know what did it last week, but the time before it was the boom on a welilriII ing machine. So, we have reach- ed the stage where anything Can happen, .on the road or tt3Jenty feet above it. But 1 was glad it happened Monday and not Tues- day, as that day1 had to go ,to Toronto again. Tuesday made up for Moe - day.

The bird was Winery and in search of .food scraps left in gardens or the pub- lie parks by bird -lovers. It swooped and seized a tasty mor- sel, then rose into the air to carry it back to its mate, But it was in such. a hurry that it collided with the th1ee- pronged lightning conductor of a church spire, Oneof the ,bird's wings was pierced by a prortg and the seagull hung 'impaled and helpless 100 feet above the ground, suffering agonies' and screeching piteously, Huge' erowds ,gathered,Kooks ing the, traffic aS firemen with a 100 -foot turn; table ladder agent into aotioh. But they 'failed to. reach the bird, Reluctantly, an animal welfare officer sent' for his shotgun, -deciding it was bet- ter to kill the seagull than risk human life. , Then suddenly the watching crowd gasped as a thirty -three- year-old man, Mr. Sidney Hobbs, appeared half -way up the roof of the church; bent on making .the perilous 100 -foot climb to reach the trapped bird. Nobody had seen him start his climb from behind a wall, , Up and up he went, well know- ing that' to slip and fall would mean instant -death. At the top he clung to the lightning con- ductor pipe while he freed the bird which, in its fright, pecked his face as he, did so, causing blood to flow. Somehow the man scrambled down with the rescued. seagull. In the street he' was mobbed by the crowd. It was' later announced that Mr. Hobbs, a truck driver, would receive an animal welfare soc- iety's silver medal, for- hisheroic act. There is always someone reedy to risk life and limb in order to. save a 'poor "dumb" friend from death or suffering. Take the case of a fox terrier named Gipsy which had been buried,alive.for four days in the ,Rhondda Valley in 1928.. The dog had run a fox to its lair among some boulders on the summit of a mountain and it scrambled 'in- to the hole to drive the 'fox out. Out came'' the fox and got away.. But there was no sign .of Gip- sy. - When' his master and others investigated they found the dog had been trapped by the falling of a loose boulder. They' at- tempted to break through but were frustrated by a ,continually moving mass of rock and earth. 'Then, working day and night 'for four days, workmen strove to get to the terrier; whose whin- ing gave them a sense of -dir- ection. • But they were confronted by a solid 'wall of rock. An SOS was sent to the man- ager of a local colliery. Three workmen were rushed to the scene. Braving the perils of the everyone says he looks like grandpa! Wednesday there was that awful accident near Cooksville involving a cement truck, a freight train and a Deisel pas- senger. We listened to the de- tails on the radio and although the name was not mentioned we had an idea the truck in- volved belonged to the con- struction company Bob works for. However, we did not think he was connected with it in any way. Nor was he . , , before the accident. But yesterday Bob and Toy were up for a visit and we learnt that Bob and two other men had been sent to the scene of the accident and had been busy all that day clearing away the wreckage of the cement - mixing truck. It was not a pretty job, But it could have been so much worse, 'With one freight car loaded with dyna- mite it doesn't take much ima- gination to figure what could have happened. In between these out of the ordinary events I managed to get an extra big washing and ironing done, also went to a quilting party. Another day Partner cleaned the kitchen stovepipes and -I cleaned the flues -- the same day as ens other house burnt to the ground. in this district, We also got in another ton 61 coal - and that really hurt, But' with ' spring still hiding behind.- that -Mythi- cal ceraer,,we °,thought we had better be prepared, ;And then. came the 'first day of, spring -- , and what h sikjti-i literally slid into town to -g6t, my shopping done early before the weather and crowds dot too bbd, °might better have, waited.. every4nfr else had the same ,idea. But then who's to know. No one can tell anything about the weather any more. Shifting reeks, they blasted a way through the ten -foot wall Of rock, timbering the sides as they went, Twice One of the men was neatly buried alive, After fourteen ±tours' toil they reached Gipsy, In a state Of complete collapse, the dog lay on a ledge four feet above °the cav- ern floor, weakly lapping water that trickled over the ledge, He was rushed to the colliery of- fice wrapped in blankets, given watlm milk and two days later. was little the wets( far his or- deal. The skipper of a Grimsby trawler risked his life to go be- low deck andrescue the ship's eat when his' vessel was badly holed in a collision in the filum-° ber. The trawler sank seven' minutes titter the skipper; With the cat and the crew of the vessel, had scrambled aboard a rescue vessel. Fir five days a shabby black and while eat trapped'at did top of an eighty -foot Walthamstow water tower :;defied attempts .of xescuers;to get it. Then Cyril Rogers, a .fitter, volunteered to climb to the top. He struggled up in a biting wind, taking :seventy 'minutes' to coin"r plete the -climb. He saw -the cat's ears sticking up over the, parapet, Then the cat raised itself, arched its,back in terror at the sight of its` would-be' rescuer, • and ' leapt from the'parapet to' a roof forty feet below.. - It rolled down the slope,. plunged another forty feet to the ground and darted - up the street, Meanwhile firemen had turned out to rescue the' man,: who had began shouting; for help becausehis, legs and 'arms were numb.
