* 1- can't honestly recommend

* even though he has some fine

" traits which are essential in a
* good husband.
* First, he doubts every move

* your personal integrity. After
* marriage, he would be even more
* jealous, and l'tn afraid he could
* make your daily life a series of
* suspicions and accusations which
* you could not, if you tried, dispel
* or refute. What self-respecting
* woman wants to spend her time
* continually defending herself?
* He is not provident. Though
* you two hare been engaged for
* three years, he has not put aside
* a single dollar for expenses and
* emergencies. That does not augur
* well for your future. To suggest
* that you use money you have
* saved for your child's education,
* is supremely selfish. It seems to
* me that, married to hint, your
* economic security would be very
* slim indeed.
* You two do not get along well.
* You would probably get along
* worse it you marry -and then it
* would be too late to do anything
* about it. A man will make all
* sorts of concessions for his
* fiancee which he will refuse his
* wife.
* 1 expect he has become such a
* habit with you that you wonder
* what you would do without him.
* You are only 30. It is not rea-
* amiable to think he is the only
* man who will be attracted to
* you - particularly= when it be-
* comes kuow-n that you no longer
* see hint,
* From what 1 glean from your
letter, 1 think you deserve a better
* husband than this man can pos.
* sibly be. Any man who thinks

Don't let habit dull your critical
sense. And never take second best,

INGE FARM
G en.c .oLi.t.e P.
C la,L`ike
We have some more new neigh
hours - the third family within tw
years to live on one farm near here
In fact we have to hurry up thes
days to meet any new neighbour
who come along or else they ar
gone before we have a chance to
say "Hullo".
We were sorry to say goodbye
the other clay to these last neigh.
bours of ours that we had known for
such a little while• and from whom
we might have learned so much,
had they stayed longer. Originally
they came from Europe and were
intelligent, industrious, kindly folk,
who would have been an asset to
the community, had not circum-
stances, which wer not of their
making, made it impossible for them
to stay. Their life in Europe had
been tragic, In Canada they had
been more fortunate - that is, until
World War 2 when their only son,
serving with the Canadian forces,
was killed two months before peace
(?) was declared. Then while they
were living on the farm, the wom-
an's sister, with two teen-age chil-
dren, came tto live with thein. They
were DPs from Central Europe.
Originally there had been four
children in the family, but the two
eldest boys had been taken away to
forced labour camps and their
mother had no way of finding out
whether they wer dead or alive.
And yet we, in Canada, sometimes
think w e have reason t • feel sorry
for ourselves! One thing I noticed
particularly was the quiet stoicism
with which the woman told me
these things. 1 had the feeling she
had suffered so notch that she was
drained of any further emotion.
Knowing these people made me
especially glad to hear a splendid
address given by Miss Ethel Chap-
man on "Canadians All". Miss
Chapman illustrated so clearly in
her talk what each nationality had
contributed to Canada as a whole,
proving that "unity -without uni-
formity" was not only possible but
desirable. Miss Chapman tried to
make us realize that new Canadians
should not be criticised because
their ways and customs were differ-
ent, but should be encouraged to
cultivate their carious arts and
crafts in Canada, thus enriching the
country of their adoption. As, fol
instance, the 'Scandinavian races
with their agricultural experience;
the Europeans with their culture and
scientific skill, and the Latin races
with their beautiful handicrafts and '
o their facility for adding colour to
their lives, And of course she melt -
e tioued the thrift of the Scots, the
s wit of the Irish, the tenacity of the
e English, and the Welsh with their
music and intense love of country.
All nationalities were mentioned
and the desirable qualities of each
were emphasized, Looking at it that
way, Canada should certainly be
rich in every kind of craft and cul-
ture,
Next day daughter and I enjoyed
a very different experience. We
went to an auction sale in the coun-
try -farm stuff and furniture -
and what fun we had' Daughter
wanted a good miror for her house-
keeping room in the city, At this
sale there was an old-fashioned
dresser with a large bevelled mirror
-and we got the whole thing for
almost a song. Our next problem
was how to get it home without
Bob having to make a special trip
with the truck. Looking it over 1
said: "If we take it to pieces 1
believe it will all go in the trunk
of the car." (Amazing what you can
get into a trunk.) So we borrowed
a screwdriver front a man who was
standing around and then we went
to work, Presently seeing us strug-
gling with the rusty and embedded
screws a sympathetic farmer came
to the rescue, and it', no time at all
the dresser was -in four pieces. Then
another ratan came along and helped
us get it over to the car and into
the trunk. Yes, it did go in, except
for what stack out behind. When
we got home we divided the spoil.
Daughter got the mirror; I was
only too glad to have the dresser
drawers for one of our spare rooms,
and the little cupboard which was
on one side of the dresser is going
to make an excellent bathroom cab-
inet. On the whole we were very
well satisfied with our afternoon's
outing, liven if we had not got the
dresser it would still have been
fun - more fun than any sale I had
been to for a long time ---and 1
came to the conclusion it was be.
cause there were so many men
around! There were quips flying
bade and forth all the time, espll'
dally when the men stood looking
o11 ^- some of them buying - when
the dishes, drapes and bedlincn wcrc
being sold, Sometimes even the
auctioneer didn't know what he was
selling -- which all added to the
jokes and laughter.
