The young man who helped her up found she had twisted her ankle and popped her into his tradesman's van so that be could drive her home, He met her sister and later the girl with the sprained ankle met his brother. It made .a recent double wedding in Stoke New- ington. Scarcely less strange was the meeting of Sheila Fox with handsome Keith Nicol. He went to South Africa to set up as a physiotherapist, Sheila, ,a nurse, went there on holiday. They both had an invitation to the same dinner -party in Cape Town and soon found, while chatting, that they both lived in Rich- mond, in the same street. "What number?" asked Keith. "I'm at 35." "Vm at 37!" said Sheila, "That's next door!" gasped Keith. -and now the two neigh- bours who "never exchanged a word while in London have married and set up house to- gether in Cape Town, Mrs, Clare Phillips will never forget a certain cold spell dur- ing the war, Her water -pipes buist'and she .dished next door to her bachelor neighbour, "Mrs." was then "Miss" - and thanks to that flaw in the plumbing the Phillips family of seven is now one of Man- chester's happiest.' • , It takes a lot to make a suc- cessful marriage - yet It's the little things that count. When Tommy Tapsell" found a hole in his sock, he happened to tell Clara Stoneham. She said, "Let me darn it!" The banns were state read '-- and yet another couple found happiness, Or take the case of the young man who last year tried to steal a ldss when he found himself alone with a girl in a train com- You'll Relish Hamburgers Even More When You Use Relishes BY DOROTHY MADDOX ALMOST everyone likes hamburgers.

Catch -a -Fellow Salad (Serves 6) Six hard -cooked eggs, chopped; 1s cup finely chopped celery, 1/2 cup finely chopped pimento, 2 tablespoons chopped, green onion; 1 teaspoons prepared mustard, 1/z cup mayonnaise or salad dressing, 6 large tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, crisp salad greens.

Murmured the girl, "You cer- tainly will," And within a few days he found himself hauled into court and fined for assault, The girl was a.police,woman, Luckily, the story has a hap- pier ending, After the case, the young man asked to see the girl and profusely expressed his apologies, Then he asked if he really could have a kiss -and she consented. In due course the wedding bells rang. ThL1'AIZM FRON612usseil A simpler poultry ration is naturally the goal most chicken "aficiandos" are aiming for; so these remarks, by Stanley B. Smith of the University of Rhode Island, may be of inter- est to some of our readers, * * Leave the baking powder out of a cake, and' chances are it won't turn out so good. The Same thing is usually true of a poultry feed - leave out an essential ingredient, and egg production and hatchability can hit the skids. But now, after five tests, we've found out something that might save you money and work in the future; you can leave all the animal protieps like fish meal and meat scraps out of a breeder ration with- out doing a bit of harm to the hen, or to egg production and hatchability. In fact, sometimes we get even better results from a simple ration than from a complicated one. * * * youstream- linedTo showhow We the old -type ration down o yp to a simple one for our tests at the i;Tniversity. of Rhode Island, here are the ingredients 'for each:. .

Hatchability did drop when we first tried the simple formula, but then we added 2% alfalfa meal and 2% butyl -fermentation products to supply A and B -complex vita- mins, and hatchability rose again. Also. the hens laid larger eggs. * * • With the coming of fall, the majority of pullets will be ap- proaching maturity.

Old crank case oil painted on these areas will supply adequate protection against these parasites. * * « After cleaning, fresh litter is added to the house. Chopped straw or wood shavings is satis- factory for this purpose. Ample watering space must be pro- vided for the young pullets, and our to six inches of feeder space is recommended. Three to four square feet of floor space is the requirement per bird - heavy birds such as Barred Rocks or Light Sussex need four square feet, while the light breeds, such as Leghorns or Leghorn crosses, will do well at three or three and a half square feet per bird. Before the pullets are to be housed, make a check to deter- mine if lice are present, andif so, treat the birds. Similarly, if there is evidence' of worms, treatment should be carried out while the pullets are still oh range. Plan to house the pullets when they approach 25 per cent egg production on the range, It is wise to house in the morn- ing so that the birds will be- come acquainted with their new quarters before dark. This may eliminate losses due to crowd- ing in a strange location. Cull the pullets when housing, re- moving all unthrifty and sickly looking bird. V Pullets coming loin production have a three -fold strain on their systems. (1) the mainten- ance of their bodies, (2) in- creasing their body weight to mature weight, and (3) eggro- duction. To supply the birds with their needs during this critical period, top quality feed must be .used. A 17 per cent protein ration (22 per cent lay- ing ration 50:50 with scratch grains) should be fed at the on- set of egg production and con- tinued for a month to 6 weeks, after which the ration may be reduced to 15 per cent protein. Oyster shell and fresh water most be available to the pullets at all times. OBEYED ORDER The wife of Lord Chancellor Hardwick once asked his bailiff if he could procure for a, state dinner a pig 00 such and such dimensions, . The bailiff burst into the draw- ing roem where she was erlter- tatning guests, announcing: 'I've bean to the market, my lady, and I've bought a pig Of exactly your sine," No Need For Fear On every side today there seems to be a spirit of unrest and doubt, Normally clear -thinking people scan the news with ap- prehension and the more they read of national and world af- fairs the more beclouded be- come the issues. On one hand there are the "don'ts" and an the other the "do's." One national leader has only to express himself on any inter- national question when, barely before his words are assimilat- ed by the public at large, an- other lets go a broadside con- trary hi every way to the first individual's line of thought. No wonder Mr. and Mrs. Every Day Citizen are confused and filled with foreboding. It is time we got off this merry-go-round and returned to the fundamentals of living and thinking.

With his sun. glasses and souvenir fez, bon is a good stand-in for the de- posed monarch, Jilted Lover Sued For 'Phone Calls Man bites dog is hot news. So it is when a man sues for breach of promise. It is be- lieved that there have been only three such actions in this coun- try since the war. One, initiat- ed by a Marylebone man, was to have been heard in the High Court, but was dropped, The latest Was reported this June. Then is was announced that a fifty -nine-year-old retir- ed major living in London had served a writn o a twenty-five- year-old orenLY-five- year old children's nurse from Berkshire. She said she would defend the case. When the situation is revers- ed - a much more common pro- cedure -the jilted girl tries to get compensation for the money she's spent on her trousseau and the damage caused to her pride. Men who have been thrown over don't appear to suffer so much from loss of face. But,, there have been several who have held that they, too, are en- titled to be repaid the money they have laid out during court- ship. An Irishman a few years ago claimed the $600 he had spent on his former financee's enter- tainment. He also tried to re- cover all the birthday and Christmas gifts he had shower- ed on her. But the judge was unsympathetic and he lost his case. Mercenary domande rarely _succeed, especially when the plaintiff is wealthy. The steps outside an American courtroom recently looked like a window display in a dress shop. A Cal- ifornia fruitgrower was apply- ing for the return of everything he had lavished on his ex - fiancee. Eloped After Long Engagement During the hearing of the case, she persuaded her friends to arrange his presents on the Steps. 00 a clothes -horse lay several sets of frilly i andes and from aole hunga pair of lace P panties. .Crowds gathered to view these, together with the girl's jewellery and cosmetics, The court ruled that she should keep them. Lawrence Lowell, a factory worker from Seattle, made even more outrageous claims •- ac- cording to the women. For three and a half years he kept company with a girl named Rose. She lived in Chicago and that involved journeys of two thousand miles. W 11 e n he couldn't make the date in per- son, he telephoned, at the rate of about $1.60 a minute. Then, a fortnight before the wedding, Rose eloped with a postman. So Lawrence set the process of the law in motion and demanded $1,290 spent on her entertaimnent, $642 for wedding and engagement rings $420 for train fares, and $270 telephone charges, The judge didn't award him a tent. What happens if the girl leaves the man stranded on the church porch? A commercial traveller's claim failed, even though he turned up in church fully expecting his bride-to-be to meet him. Perhaps it was his fault for being so niggling. He made out a list Of expenses which he asked the judge that the girl should refund. On it figured a pair of shoe -laces, which he had given to her when one of her own broke off. Drive With Care That 'Sixth Sense' is Mystifying An Italian woman, with deep- set eyes and a hlgh fore head, seriously believes that every time she suffers from a severe headache it presages an earth- quake in some Part of the world. She declares that she knew in advance about the recent Greek earthquake -- because on the day 'before she had a very 'bad headache. She also claims that she" foretold in this way a severe earthquake in China. Her strange power t0 sense catastrophe in advance is pus- zling scientists, But people who have talked to the dark, attaro.- tive Signorina Adelina Boma- neili are convinced that Ohs genuinely senses impending se - ironic disaster in remote parts of the globe. Often the most ordinary peo- ple have been proved 10 possess an ability to "see" visions of events destined to happen at enormous distances from them, Take the case of Mrs. Canner, an American woman living in Washington, who was walking home one day when she sttun- bled and fell, scattering the papers she was carrying in all directions. She got up, unhurt,. collected the papers and walked the remaining fifty yards to her house. By the first post next morn- ing she received a letter from a friend living 250 miles away who had foreseen her accident in ad strange way at least twenty-four hours before it oc- curred, "As I was sitting in my room, 1 felt a sudden sensation of shock," wrote the friend. "Be- fore my eyes I saw the whole incident - saw you stumble and fall and the papers scatter, saw you pick 'them up, "You had on your black skirt and velvet waistband. It was all so plain to me that I sat down at once to write thisletter to you" Mrs. Canner was so impressed - even her friend's description of what she was wearing was accurate - that she handed it to a scientist who was investi- gating other reported instances of second sight. His careful in- vestigations showed beyond question that Mrs. Canner's friend possessed some inexplic- able sixth sense. He found that she had "seen" a railway disaster three whole days before it took place, nam- ing the place and several via-, tiros who were famous and whose faces she therefore recog- nized. There was also the young and wealthy Budapest business man who was rung up early one morning by an agitated friend. "Whatever you do, don't sleep in your usual bed on the night of September 20th, exact- ly a fortnight from to -day," his friend warned. "As I shaved this morning, a strange feeling suddenly oppressed me and I saw in my mirror a vision pf you being killed by t&nat heavily framed picture of a Spanish beauty which hangs on the wall above your pillow. And the date on the calendar on the mantlepiece in your bedroom was September 20th," The business man only laugh - at him. "You've been working too hard - you need a holi- day," he said. "Take one and you'll see aro visions." Reluctantly, the friend took his advice. But as he shaved on the first morning of his holi- day, the vision came again. He warned his friend by telephone, but was scoffed at. So he wrote him a letter that day, Septem- ber 17th, giving him full de- tails of the tragedy which he was sure would occur in three days' time. 14 SC11001, LESSON By Rev.

Through the past three months we have covered praee tioally every activity that conn tributes to the Christian'rs growth, beginning with the normal early life of the Saviour as our example and proceed- ing to the things that help oro to grow,inwardly and outward» ly, We have considered Bible study, prayer, worship, self- 4aclpline. We have taken up fellowship, giving and service to the church, t6 industry, to our community, and have en- deavoured to see how Godo love diffused through all our being gives meaning and effec- tivness to all that has gone be- fore. Now we come to witness- ing. Dr. Daniel Steele once said that if every pulpit in the country was turned into a witness stand. for just one Sunday, there would be a revival of religion on a national scale in a week's time. The early church was a witnessing church. -They went everywhere, gossiping the gos- pel. A publisher was discussing how a book becomes a best- seller. It clicks with the peo- ple and they begin telling their friends, The best type of adver- tising is when a man who has read the book enthusiastically tells his friends about it. 0 that we may have the . Floly Spirit as did these disciples. They were salt cleansing .and preserving t h e i r generation. They were light dispelling the darkness of sin's domination, They were witnesses telling about Jesus and his power to save. We have a great responsibi- lity to spread the Good News. This is the most important task of every preacher and Iaytnan. Let us get busy. It did. The business man was killed instantly when the pic- ture fell on him as he lay ie. bed at 11.30 p.m. on September 20th. His housekeeper found the warning letter describing in ad- vance exeactly what happened, lying crumpled in his waste- paper basket. Sceptics sometimes try to laugh off these stories of peo- ple who -claim to "see" things• in advance. But they always find it impossible to explain them away. It is not a question of coincidence. • The average Canadian worker loses 91/2 days every year through sickness and accidents, Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking 3903(,N I.L';?5Svd 4 V' 3. L3 0 1h.
