He thinks things are too high. Yet he spends every idle moment in the pool room, or fishing or at ball games. "I have a little business place of my own. It doesn't bring in much, but every bit I make I spcpd for groceries. The children and I need many things we should have, but we can't get them. Whenever he does give me stoney it is not suffi- cient. AT TURNING POINT "I just don't know what to do. "Sometimes I even wonder whe- ther he is finding love somewhere else?

Makes Real Hi: Canadian Movie FAMILY CIRCLES, trade in Canada, and filmed largely in Tor- onto, Ottawa and Montreal with actual scenes taken in the Forest Hill Home and School meetings, shows scenes taken in various fain - sly homes It is continuing a series of very successful showings in the- atres across Canada. The flat tells the story of differ- ent children and presents problems of different kinds, with explanations and suggestions for dealing with then. It shows how proper family guidance can, with help from School authorities, enable a growing child to become a happy, yell balanced young citizen, the picture is excellent because it deals with dif- ferent types of situations frankly and plainly. It has been endorsed by leaders of Home & School, I,O,- D.E, and other distinguished or- ganizations. Canadians will be interested to know that •the Director of FAMILY CIRCLES, Grant McLean of the National Film Board, has again been retained by the United Nations or- ganization to go to Korea, where where he will,be for two months. He has left by plane for the battle arca. The last time Mr. McLean was borrowed by the U.N. was for a special assignment in China, where he finned relief operations under UNNRA auspices, FAMILY CIRCLES, is an out- standing film on the problems of the growing child and is particularly helpful because it presents the ma- terial so simply and directly, and because the suggestionsofferedare practical and understandable: VERSATILE BIRD "Yes," said the explorer, "once I was so hungry that I dined off my pet parrot."

'HRONICLES r '1NGER1XRM "All is safely gathered in"—and how gladly we 'sing the song of harvest itonte!" After so many weeks of changeable weather; so many times when the expected our second threshing would be either tomorrow or the next day. So many nights when we wakened to hear rain beating on tete roof, saw in- cessant lightn'ng and heard the rumble of thunder—and remem- bered that some of our grain was out in the field still waiting to be threshed. There was one morning when Partner looked out across the sodden fields and said—"One more day of rain and what's left of the crop won't be worth threshing." But it did rain—and rained aga'n. Partner was wrong—the grain was still worth threshing. And now— "all is safely gathered in." We threshed again last Wednesday— our final threshing for the year— and all the bins are full and half' the granary floor. The crop turned out far better than we dared to hope for. This year's harvest has certainly been a very worry'ng time for those dependent on the outcome. Lack of help induced so many farmers to stook -thresh instead of putting their stuff in the barn. And when too many farmers get that sante idea threshing machines cannot get around fast enough to keep every- one satsfied. Even those who com- bined their crops were up against the same trouble—not enough combines in the distract to meet the demand. Those who put their grain crops in the barn also had the weather to contend., with—a few nice days with a drying wind one day drawing in—and then rain aga'n. Last week we had good weather most of tate dine. It would, I !tope, give most farmers a chance to get their harvest work cleaned up. * t: * And, of course, it all begins again — sowing fall wheat — and with it next year's harvest worries. Colne to think of it, farMng is something like eating things that you know; will bring on an after- math of indigestion. You eat some- thing you specially lake knowing full well what the result will be— but yot eat it anyway. So what? Farmers know every day's work is more or less of a gamble. But farmers haven't n priority on worry. Every calling has its own type of worry—although most of us like to think we have more than the other fellow, Nobody has to eat what .they know will give them indigestion—there is more than one kind of food available. And nobody has to be a farther, or a salesman, a bank -clerk or a labourer if he thinks some other job will shit him better. * 4, 4 But if you are a woman—and a farmer's wife—there isn't much you can do about changing your job, is there? And why should you want to anyway? To do a good job as a farmer's wife is .about as high a calling as anyone could ask for, And what a difference it snakes to the farther. Some farms, along with their owners, have gone to pieces because the woman in the case didn't keep her end up. A bachelor farther can make a better g0 of 011111gs than a married man matt with alt un -cooperative wife, It isn't experience that counts in the early stages, but the will to work. Experience will come with the years if a genuine interest is there to begin with, Heaven help Champagne Mermaid—An en- terprising photographer attend- ing the State Fair found Patty Kent's beauty as intoxicating as the samples displayed at the Fair's wine ' exhibits. Reeling back to his darkroom with pic- tures of Patty and a glass of champagne, the artistic lens - man put two and two together. The result was this picture of a champagne mermaid. the young farmer whose wife lives on the farm but takes no interest its crops, stock or the weather, 4: * * • Generally speaking the farm is not 'the place for playing a lone hand. There is an inescapable inter- dependence all along the line—not only in the farm family but also as regards stock attd machinery. Experts claim that a farm cannot be worked successfully without cattle to fertilize the ground. Crops cannot ,(e sown or harvested with- out machinery. Trucks that will not start depend on tractors to pull them until the spark catches. Yet tractors themselves often have to rely on the trusty team when engines get balky in cold weather. Poultry being fattened for market would often be stolen if it were not for the sharp ears of the farmer's watch -dog, Bins would be over- run with grain -nibbling rates and nice if it were not for the barn- yard cats. And the poor cows would get no exercise for their tails if it were not for the barnyard flies! 4' * ° So there you have it, friends , , all down the line farming is a cooperative business. 0 DOUBTFUL A doctor, attending an old man, had instructed the butler in the art of taking Itis temperature, One morning on arriving at the house, the doctor ran into the but- ler, "I hope," he said, "that yam master's temperature is no high- er?"
