"Dea' .\nae Hirst:
I am 20 years old, and have a
good -job teaching in a small coun-
try school. I am very much in love
with a man twice toy age, whom
I've been dating for a year and a
half.
"He is. an ideal gentleman, and
he doesn't act over 30. He likes
to go places—
movies, dances,
the beaches. He
wants to do
anything that
pleases rte, and
he is always so
thoughtful! He
goes only with
rte. but I enjoy
-w _t5 dating others—
though I love him more all the
time.
"I'd marry hitt tomorrow if it
were not for his age. H we ever
have a family he would probably die
much sooner than I, and leave me
with the children.
"He says the difference in ages
does not natter, that a person is
as old a, he acts. What shall I do?

Washington. It belonged to H.M,S.

When, in 1790, the mutineers set-

the Bible ashore and for many
years it was used to teach the chil-
dren of the colony to read, Half
a century ago it was removed front
the island and taken to America,
where it was acquired by a Con-

Now the Pitcairn Islanders have
asked for it back and it was given
to Sir Olive: for return to them,

cards, or as soon as they have a
definite invitation.
Q. Is it good form to type a per-
sonal letter to a friend, and also

sometimes a little gift for the baby.
Walks For Wages
One of the most famous English
comedians is Jack Warner, who
gained much of his hold over listen-
ers by his songs about people with
funny occupations. The first one
was the "bunger-up of rat stoles,"
then carne the "shaver -off of hairs
from gooseberries," the "cutter --up
of codheads" and the "chopper -up
of chilis for the chutney," There
were dozens of them and to date
Mr. Warner—now more of a filth
'than radio star, although he still
likes to broadcast when he can—has
recounted the histories of well over
a hundred of those people with
funny occupations.
litost of Warner's funny occupa-
tions are mythical but Peggy
Robertshaw, is real enough and she
has a very funny occupation—she is
a shoe tester, Every day she
presents Herself at the office of a
well-known firm in the North of
England which specialises in rubber
foot wear. There she puts on a pair
of their shoes and sets off to walk
twelve miles. If it is a wet day she
can tramp around art galleries or
museums, if it 11 fine and lovely
weather she probably takes a traits
out into the country and does her
twelve utiles there. She knows when
she has done her daily doyen by
the pedometer on her leg; which is
checked when she goes back to the
office.
Peggy wears the saute pair of
shoes every day until a fault de-
velops. Then she reports this to the
technical manager and is given a
neve pair. Tittles vary but the aver-
age pair of shoes goes about three
hundred miles before it becomes
faulty Peggy finds shoe testing
much more to her liking than office
work, and healthier too. She loves
walking and has done 42,000 miles
in her arduous job. In all those
miles her feet have never ached and
she has never had a corn, which is
a pretty (nighcompliment to the
shoes 'she has worn,
Sign Of The Times, Perhaps?—.The French Communist women
are trying to make it clear that they did not raise their sons for
war—at least for war against the Soviet Union. The sign on
the rostrum reads "The mothers of France will never give their
sons to make war on the Soviet 'Union."
LIVE MUCH LONGER
WITHOUT OLD AGE
if you hear something about
gerontology, don't assume that it
has nothing to do with you. if you
are under forty-five or so noW, it
might one day have a lot to do with
you. It is a new branch of science.
the study of old age and senility.
Progress in medical science in the
past century has added many years
to the average person's' expectation
of life. Couple this fact with the
falling birth-rate in many countries
and it is clear that, as time goes
on. the proportion of over -seventies
must steadily increase,
Problem of the Elderly
Even to -day the elderly people
are finding it difficult to get yoatng-
et• people to look after then. But
if we could get old without also
becoming. inactive, this problem
wodtd be enormously eased, That is
one of the aims of gerontology.
In the past we have accepted
the fact that age means a decline
in mental and physical + city.
It has been something inevitable,
something that must happen to the
human body. That it must happen
to everybody ercborly
at some toe is ob-
vious, but at least we should try to
delay it as long as possible.
One approach to the subject is
the detailed study of all those ef-
fects that we lump together as "get-
ting old." and in recent years dis-
tinguished scientists have investi-
gated this as a kind of spare -tine
joh. They are making notes on their
own experiences as they get older.
In lime a mass of evidence will be
available as a basis for research.
Another approach is the study of
age and length of life in animals and
insects, With man's Bibical expecta-
tion of three -score years and ten—
statistically it is a few years less
than this—the study of man him-
self is obviously a long business.
Gerontologists want quicker results.
So they are studying forms of life
whose normal expectation can be
pleasured in days or months,'
Learning from Mice
One gerontologist has gone a long
way towards proving that food is
closely connected with length of
life. There is a complex organic sub-
stance caller] nucleic acid that is
known to be an essential parfin the
male -up of all living cells. He has
added this substance to the diet of
nice -- an ounce of it would be
enough to give 20,000 mice their
daily dose! But this tiny quantity
regularly given to mice increased
their average lives by over eight
per cent for stales and over seven
per cent for females.
This same rear arch worker ob-
tained another clue to the import-
ance of nucleic aid by studiitg bet a.
It is known that queen bees live for
about five years but worker bees
can only expect a short and busy
life of a few months. What is not .

.Answer eleewhe'e in this issue ,
so well known is that this difference
is settled by diet.
Queen bees and worker bees
come from exactly the same kind
of eggs. When the grubs hatch out,
they are all fed for four days on
what is known as royal jelly; after
these first four days most of the
grubs are switched over to a diet
of pollen and homy and they all
become worker bees, but a limited
number of grubs are kept on royal
jelly and these develop into queen
bees. But what a difference there is
its their respective lengths of life—
a few months or five years!
All Done By Diet
'What is tltc difference in the diet
—between royal jelly and pollen
and honey? Royal jelly is rich in
nucleic acid for one thing. For an;
other, it is rich in vitamin B, or
what scientists now know to be the
vitamin B group, for this is not one
vitamin but quite a collection.
Next in this research, fruitmflics
were fed on the different chemical
substances that were found in royal
jelly. When all the substances were
addedt
o the e fli '
es diet, their aver-
age
r aver
age life was increased by nearly
fifty per cent; but adding the sub-
stances separately gave rather
smaller increases.
That is as far as this work has
gone. Considering how young is this
new science of studying age, it trust
be regarded as excellent progress.
And very, hopeful progress, too!
That the secret of the bees bas
so far helped only a few hundred
mice and fruit flies to live longer,
and presumably to remain active
and fit longer, is not a thing the
human race should feel sore about.
The benefits to man play 501115 in
the "normal" lifetime of many of us.
New scientific methods of war-
fare get most of the headlines, but
gerontology is orthodox research,
too—it is not a "crank" project, 'We
spend many hundreds per cent more
on research in destruction than we
spend on restarch in these complex
problems of length of life and eas-
ing the burden of old age. Why?
It is for the world to decide which
kinds off scientific offering's to hu-
manity stake the most progress.
New Song
"Speed Bonny Boat like a bird of
the wing, Over the sea to Skye,"
runs the old Scots song, telling of
Bonnie Prince Charlie's flight to
that most romantic island of the
Inner Hebrides. Now another tune
has been composed, and this has the
title of "Linder the sea to Skye."
And what is it that is going un-
der the sea to Skye but a submarine
cable that is at last bringing elec-
tricity to the shepherds in the glens,
the crofters by the shore and all the
people in this remote and lovely
island. The cable is part of the new
Scottish Hydrd-Electric Scheme
which, using the abundant water
power available in Northern Britain,
is gradually bringing electricity to
the whole of Scotland,—and with it
relief ,front household and other
drudgery, No more candles or little
lamps with floating wicks; no more
back -breaking work to be done by
hand that can easily be dealt with
by electrical apparatus, With the
advent of electricity to the High-
lands, electric kettles and irons, and
even a few refrigerators and wash-
ing )machines are selling well, and
nearly all houses and even the byres
are electrically lit.
Plenty of people get a reputation
for being punctual by guessing
correctly how late the other party
is going to be,

Y SCIIOOL
ESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
• JESUS' PEREAN MINISTRY
hark 10:13.1b, 35-40.
GOLDEN TENT: For even the
Son of man carne not to be minist-
ered untb but to minister, and to
give hit life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:45.
Jesus ]oyes the children. It is
true that He was the Man of Sor-
rows, btit the Psalmist exclaimed
also, "Odd, thy God hath anointed
thee with the oil of gladness above
tlty fellows". Ps, 45:7, The children
with their fond mother were at-
tracted to him. The song writer
has expressed the sentiment of
many:
"I wish that IIis hands had been
plac'd on my head;
That His arms had been thrown
around me,
And that I might have seen His
kind look when I'Te said,
'Let the little ones cone unto me."
Jesus set forth the child as an
example of humility and trust and
said.
"Of such'is the kingdom of God".
In striking contrast to this inci-
dent is another one in Perea, cast of
Jordan, concerting James and John,
the sons of thunder. Their ambi-
tious mother wanted them to have
positions of eminence in Christ's
kingdom. To them Jesus pointed
out that the path to his own glory
was one of suffering. "Would they
drink of his cup and be baptized
with His baptism?" .They replied,
"Yes". They did not know that
one of them would be the first
apostle to be put to death by the
sword. The other, John, would live
through much persecution and die
in banishment. Yet Jesus did not
promise that thcv would sit, the one
nn Itis right and the other on his
left in his kingdom.
True greatness is not in self-seek-
ing but in service. Jesus was the
great example of this truth. The
way up is down. Jesir said. "Ex-
Gnynne, aged six, was left in her
aur' r
is care recently. She had no
sooner arrived than she was out
making friends with the neighbor-
hood children. She told her new-
found playmate, Martin, that she,
was bora in her own home,
cepsye be converted, and become as
little children, ye shall not enter
into the kingdom of heaven. Who-
soever therefore, shall humble him-
self as this little child, the same is
greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
