We went every- where together. We never even argued. Neither of our parents objected — until lately, "Now my par- ents have told me tales about hint which I know are not true. And they don't seem even to trust me! "His mother and mine got to- seether. They decided we were see- ing too much of each other, and that it is best for us to break up. His parents went on vacation a month ago, and he had to go along. 1 believe they did this so he would forget me, He didn't, "We love each other. Please tell ate what to do. I am sick worry- ing' over it. "WORRIED.,, tt WHEN two people are in love, 8 it is maddening to find that others e object to it. Our personal hap- * piness is so supreme that our a minds are blinded to reason, and * we feel that any opposition is unfounded and actually wicked. e' Why can't parents let us alone? >k One reason is that parents # have a duty to their children. as If they see them falling in love a before they are old enough to realize the meaning, parents are e bound to recommend that they take time out to think objectively. 1' That isn't possible when the two a are constantly together, dating t only each other, o Perhaps this boy Inas been neg- 0 lecting his studies, or his job. * Perhaps you have been forgetting e your friends, failing in your other * responsibilities.

Guide * yourself accordingly. Parents may seem objection- able people occasionally, but in the long run, they are usually right, Play along with them, even when it hurts. Anne Hirst will help you see why, if you write her at Box 1, 123 Eight- eenth Street, New Toronto, Ont, Why Protect These Harmful Pests? Farmers, gardeners, fruit grow- ers and tree planters will not be very happy about the proposal of the Ontario Government to limit the game bag on cottontails. To the hundreds of thousands of people who come in any of the classes mentioned, rabbits are regarded as a serious pest, about in the seine category as field mice. They do enorinous damage and if not kept down by continuotit hunting they will do still more. Almost every winter literally mil- lions of young trees and shrubs are destroyed by these pests despite con- siderable money and time spent on special measures. Even on the out- skirts of our large cities they do a lot of damage. No exhaustive and expensive sur- vey is necessary to determine the destructiveness of the common wild rabbit. All that the game authori- ties will have to do is to consult their colleagues in those branches of the government service which are interested in reforestation, fruit growing, agriculture or gardening.

This will matte the threads show up better. Altering a garment by taking in or letting out the seams is always easier if it's possible to stitch the new seam before ripping out the old one. Titin saves basting and as- sures the proper matching of edges. To be sure a letter containing loose change reaches its destination in good condition, I fold the money. in cellophane paper and stitch around each coin with the sewing machine, * * * I keep shiuing. spotless mirrors in our house with the aid of a crumpled newspaper. There's no bother with drying rags,' no trace of Lint when I've finished, I simply wash the mirror off quickly with clear water—no soap—and rub a crushed sheet of newspaper over the surface to dry it. * When cleaning shelves or cabin- ets, I move a bridge table nearby to hold their contents. This conven- ient stacking surface saves many steps as welt as extra time and work. A worktable on wheels would do the sante efficient job. * a: * A small spray gun filled with furniture polish is a handy way to treat dustcloths and dust mops. Spray on a light mist for effective polishing. An old hot-water bottle stakes a dandy kneeling pad when cleaniug time comes around. Simply fill it with feathers — not too full .— and it will be soft, easy to stove, and a handy, comfortable knee -saver. * * When painting flowerpots, just turn thein upside down over a tin can. The can acts as a stand and may be turned as the pot is painted, protecting both your hands and the pot, Leave the pots on the cans until dry. When there • is a sick member in your family, make an easy, com- fortable back rest by slipping his pillow through a wire hanger and hanging it on the head of the bed behind hits. It comes in handy, too, for your own reading in bed at night. For homemade game boards re- quiring numbers, out the numerals from a large calendar. Paste these to the board, and coat the entire surface with clear shellac. * The carpet beneath the baby's high chair is easily protected with a large square of linoleum, I keep this rolled around an old broom handle between meals.

Day after day icy winds battered themselves against our doors and windows, penetrating the house even against storm doors and window protections. What it would have been like without them, dear only knows, It is at such tines that I wonder stow people in pioneer days ever cause through the win- ters. It isn't much good trying to describe it—only experience can make anyone realize what a stormy day in the country is really like. Even at that memory is short- lived. For instance, one of ottr neighbours was in town looking after an ailing sister. It was a day when visibility was reduced to 100 feet, and this neighbour, although she knew it was storming, had no idea what it was really like until she got home at sapper time and found her way blocked from the garage to the house by huge drifts across the lawn. But now the a cattier has chang- ed—a waren wind has been blowing all day, Snow is packing and little rivulets are rusting under and through the snow. The house is draughty but reasonably warns, so we can forget all about the stormy weather until the next big blow, Ex- cept that 1 can't forget it quite so easily—not with a batch of chil- blains that are just about driving me crazy! And I haven't got enough courage to try the Spartan cure which some folk advocate—to run barefoot through the snow. Every Niue we get a cold spell I wonder why so many farm houses are built with main door opening directly into the dinittgrooul or kit- chen, Of course there is generally a front door opening on to a hall but in the Country no one uses the front door anyway, Even so, the hall eventually leads to one of the stain roosts, Now why couldn't the hallway lead right through from the front door to the back door, with roosts opening out from either side of the halU That way direct draughts would be eliminated as it would not be necessary to have one room lead into another as they do now, (We have six doors in our diningrooml) Imagine rooms with only one door ----no draughts blow- ing through at all. For couveuiece there could be an extra outlet from the kitchotl, and maybe French windows from the living -room on to. a sunporch; and an outlet from the back of the hall to a back porch. Several outlets have to be consider- ed as fire escapes. Web, there you are—there's my dream house. How do you like it? Partner says my plan requires too much ground space Maybe, so, but on a farm we at least have plenty of ground space. Now I think of it, that type of house is the exact opposite to a new bungalow I was in the other. clay. This house hada small front entry which led to the living -room on one side and the dining -room on the other, They in turn opened on to the kitchen, bedrooms and bath- room, There were archways, but no doors to the living or dining rooms It was very nice, but it seems to me there is very little privacy in modern hones. As for instance, a girl I know who took her steady boy friend home to her parents' new bungalow, So that she and her bay might have a little time to themselves the rest of tic family went to bed early every nights isven at that privacy would be dif- ficult if the living -room had one of these large picture windows. Pic- ture winnows look very. nice, lite without Minns 1 'always think of thein as nu 0 liar with tlte.e Ian piece bathing suits—so revealing that they leave little to the imagite- • atior. Let's see, I had a quilting story to tell you, left over from last week, didn't I? Well, you see it was a sort of winter -week special. I set up the quilt all right and two neighbours were coming in to help me, but the weatherman decreed otherwise. So there was I with a whole quilt all to myself. However, quite often Partner would say— If you want to get on with your quilt, go ahead—I'11 do the dishes." So you see why I refer to my better - half as "Partner." And I did get my quilt finished. It was very thick so the stitches were none too small, but the quilting was fairly close so I don't think I did too bad to get it out of the frames by the end of the fourth day. Well, I have just conte up from the barn, Today Bob was away at chore tine for the first time since we got the milking machine so Partner 'had the fun of trying it out for ourselves. We got along fine but Partner says it takes a strong man to handle the thing because everything about it is sq heavy.

Canada Nov In Midst of Great Oil Developments S$jITH an estimated oil reserve of VY 1.200 millions barrels and re- serves 6,000 billion cubic feet of natural gas in the Province of Al- i berta, Canada is in the midst of the ( greatest olt• and natural gas de- 'i)veiopment in her history, according to S. W. Fairweather, vice president 'of research and development of the Canadian National Railways. The Alberta district, Mr. Fair- weather says, is today one of the most active areas of oil exploration in the western hemisphere, with Edmonton the "oil capital" of north- western North America, • A cossets°, chronological report on the Canadian oil development, complete with maps and charts has just been issued by the Canadian National Railways. In "The Geog- raphy of 011 and Gas in Western Canada.," 174r, Fairweather traces ,the development from the first oil discovery in the Turner Valley in 1014 up to the present nept'ece• dented activities. de od na v es. Mr, Fairweather bees the be- nning of the present Canadian oil °'loom", to the discovery of light oil near Leduc, 18 miles south of Edmonton, in .104'1. In less than a year, developments proved tate presence of a major oil field ex- tending from Leduc across the North Saskatchewan Rivet' to the Wbodbend district, Up to the end of 1340, drilling in this held alone hat indicated a. reserve of 17.70 nriltimt barrels of oil and 600 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Since the Leduc discovery, the railway economist declares, oil of a similar quality has been found "almost all around Edmonton"; at Joseph Lake, Whitemud, Golden Spike, Barrhead, Bon Accord and Redwater, The Golden Spike die. °every welt le remarkable for a thickness of oil-bearing formation that exceeds 500 feet, The Red - water field, with an indicated re- serve of 500 million barrels, is the largest oil pool yet discovered in. Canada. Pincher Creek, south of Calgary, bas the deepest 'successful well ever drilled in Canada. It was re• cently brought Into production at 12,500 feet with a record potential of 88 million cubic feet of wet gas per day. The Lloydminster field, situated Astride the Alberta -Saskatchewan boundary, which carte into produc- tion in 1943, still constitutes tate largest known reserves of heavy oil in Canada, Exploration is now spreading into the sedimentary areas of Brit, felt Colombia, Saskatchewan, Mani. tobs, and northern Alberta, 1Vlt'. Fairweather says. Oil in quantltY was recently discovered by Imperial Oil, Ltd. at l4ortnantivllie, 10 milts eolith or Peace River and 210 miles north of ltldmonton. The oil developments of the past three yetirs have saturated the all market of western Canada and out' fate mast now be found farther afield, Mr. 8'nirweatber declares.
