For two years I've gone with a young man I'm niadly in love with . , . Two mouths ago he told me his parents do not like me, and that he can't af- ford to oppose them. (He works for his father.) He claims he loves me more than ever, but says he's so mixed up he doesn't know his right mind. "Why they disapprove, 1 don't know. I've never been in his home, though I've stet most of his family. In spite of all the mean things they've said about Inc I have no ill feelings, and think I could grow to love them. "I come from a good family - not rich, but we all have a fine life together. I've a good job, belong to the nicest organizations in town, and have loads of friends. They are as amazed at all this as I am, "He is 30, I'm 25. Surely he should have a mind of his own? "Now I see him only a lunch. He is dating a girl whom his par- ents like, and have entertained in their home. "I see other boys: but that isn't fair when I'm always thinking of him. One old friend now wants to marry me; his family are won- derful. I am only fond of him, but I know he would be good to one. "Please advise tote. Shall I stop lett 4CCalnes W4ditOdA, seeing the man I love? :harry the other boy? Or leave town? JUNE." * To help the man you love make * up his, mind, stop seeing him at * all -and give hint a definite period * to decide, Perhaps his father is * using their business association * to influence hila, and the prospect * of looking elsewhere for a live- * lihood does not appeal to him. * Some men are like that. * Why his parents dislike you, * no one can tell -unless they have * already chosen the girl they want * him to marry. Some parents are * like that, too. * If the young man's parents win * out, leaving town for a while, '6' as you consider will prove help- * ful in recovering from that blow. * You will be absent from both * these nett who love you -and * that has its advantages too. It . * will give you a clearer perspec- * tive, and later on may incline you * toward this other one who loves * you too. * Meanwhile, don't leave hint in * doubt. Let him know you are * only fond of him, and not in love. * If you remain at home, his at- * tuitions will be comforting -and * you will need all the comfort you * can get. * Love wilt surely come to you * again. Don't marry anybody you * do not love, even though you're * sorry for him, or think he'll make * a good husband. It would not be * fair to you nor to hint, * * * If anything comes between you and the man you love, give him time to make up his mind. -But not too long ...

ISSUE 48 - 1951 Exploding Stars "In the mouth of November (1572) on the eleventh day of the month, in the evening, after sunset, I ?toured a new and unusual star, surpassing all others in brilliance. It was quite evident to 1ne that there had never before been any star m that place. I was so aston- ished at this sight that I was not ashamed to doubt the trustworthi- ness of my awn eyes," That was the first description ever given of a super nova, or ex- plodint; star. Occasionally a star "• suddenly appears in the heavens, there is a burst of light which dims all the other stars and which may be seen for hours or for months, and then the light gradually dies away. Dr. Anderson, of Edinburgh, saw one in 1901 and in twenty-eight hours its brilliance increased four thousand tines. The greatest nova of modern times suddenly flared in the heavens ou June 8th, 1918. Within twenty-four hours it had developed a brilliance greater than any other star in the sky and was easily seen at midday. Then it be- gan to decline. First it turned yellow, then pink and then cerise. Finally it turned green. That's Not All One day, when then front this planet start reaching for the stars, they will find many dead worlds where, because of an explosion some time in the past, no life can possibly exist. One day, its fact, the sun will explode, so scientists think, but if it does, don't imagine that will mean the end of the universe. In ' fact, apart from the sun's own plan- ets, it -will probably pass almost unnoticed by people who might be living in other solar systems. In any case, by the time the explosion appears the sun wilt have been a dead mass for some millions of years. The sun gives us life, so we are apt to consider it as of some im- portance in the universe, but actu- ally it is only an average sort of star in a system which contains 160,000 million such stars. And that is not all. The star system of: which the sun is a small member is only one of millions of such star systems, all containing a similar number of stars and suns as does ours. Are you beginning to feel a trifle insignificant? Here is some more information which will help you to feel even less important. Our star system alone is so huge that it takes light, travelling 6,000,- 000,000,000 (six million million) miles every year, 100,000 years to get from one side of the system to the other. In other words, if our earth sud- denly exploded, the light from the explosion would not be seen at the other end of our system for a hundred thousand years. And that system is only a mil- lionth part of the universe, UNDAY SCII00L LESSON By Rev. R. B. Warren, B.A. B.D. A DOUBTING AND DISOBEDIENT PEOPLE Number 14: 15 1-11 Memory Selection: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighfeousness. 1 John 1:9. When the children of Israel had spent nearly a year -twelve men, one from each tribe, spied out the land. In forty days they returned bringing of the fruit of the land. All agreed that it was a land flow- ing with milk and honey. But ten Wren were fearful of the inhabitants and proceeded to impart their fear to the people. Caleb said, "Let us go up at once, and possess it:" The majority report won and the people longed to be back in Egypt. Indeed when Joshua and Caleb fur- ther urged the people saying, "The Loid is with us; fear them not,' the congregation was about to stone them when the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle, God threatened to destroy the people and raise up a nation to Moses. But Moses interceded in prayer. God forgave but determined that all the adults except Caleb and Joshua would die in the wilderness in forty years of wanderings. How strange is human nature. When they heard God's verdict they presumed to en- ter the land. But this offered step of obedience and faiths was too late. Tiley were smitten by the enemy. God was patient with the children of Israel. There is a pathos in the story of their wanderings and doubts attd fears. The record is given us that we may profit from their mistakes. We have a great God. We need not fear. 1.11 us go forward in faith. CROSSWORD PUZZLE . 1. Illatabta 7. Frightened 13. Buy hack 14. Kind 16.

HRONICLES 1NGERI$ARM Cdtvwt.doltr.e. D CIe.T•l(,e Last week while other folk were slipping and sliding all over the roads, to say nothing of getting into ditches, I had no trouble at all. Wonderful car? Oh no . wonderful woman . . I stayed at home! Except Thursday, that was our W.I. meeting, and being on the lunch committee I felt morally bound to put in an appearance. And then I had to stay put until the man of the house came along to help turn me around. He eras away 50 afternoon you know how men have a way of disappearing every time there is• a bunch of women around. That sante slight our local Horticultural Society had engaged Mrs. Joan Copeland, from the Port Credit Violet House, to address their meeting. Her sub- ject, of course, was African violets. I didn't want to drive, and I didn't want to miss the sleeting so I took a taxi downtown and got a ride hone with a neighbor. It was a big meeting -men and women too - and every one of those people was interested in growing African violets. Mrs. Cope- land spoke of this urge to grow violets as a disease -you get the bug the very first time someone gives you a leaf and says -"Put it' in water or soil -it'll growl" Most of what Airs. Copeland told us I had already iced in various magasine articles, yet hearing it at first-hand was a lot more inlpres- 'sive. And here is something I had not he rd before. The little leaves that form on the outside of the main stens should always be pinch- ed off. They are suckers, said Mrs. Copeland, and absorb a tremendous amount of strength from the par- ent plant, The only leaves to be retained are the ones that grow front the centre. The next morning I pinched all the suckers off my plants -and there were quite a few. Over -watering is a sure way to kill your violets, we were told. A three-inch pot requires only about a tablespoon of luke-warm water -fed from the topl Violets don't like to be soaked through and through and the don't like to have their feet in water. But Mrs. Cope- land also said this: "If you are having good luck with your violets, and your methods are different from mine, don't let anything I say, or what anyone else says either, in- fluence you one bit, Just keep on going the Way you are -not every- one achieves success the same way." (And methinks that applies to more than growing violets!) It was 8 o'clock when 1 left glome that night -and 11 o'clock when I got back. "Where in blazes have you been?" Partner inquired politely when I stepped in. "Jost to a violet meeting." "Weil, my gosh, you couldn't have been talking violets all that time -or you of weiC you must have been bored." "Ah, bort we were talking violets -and we certainly weren't bored." And that was no exaggeration either. People had been asked to bring their worst plants and their hest -and we all wanted to know about each one of them.

Anyway Partner had no room to talk -he was out to a Milk Board sleeting the night before -and he also returned at 11:30. Now I ask you, by any stretch of imagination, could milk be as interesting as African violets? Sure, I know it is more profitable . , . but interest- ing! Controversial would be a bet- ter word to describe it. The milk question is about as un- settled as the cease-fire negotia• tions at the U.N. Conference. * * * Well, the Royal Tour has ended.

In some way, I be- lieve the visit of this young couple has meant more to the people of Canada than did the visit of the King and Queen, We have seen them, met them and heard them.

Modern Etiquette Q. What is the most popular in- formal way of serving coffee? A. Place a good-sized tray on a coffee table or stand, on the tray a percolator or other coffee -staking machine.

If a person has left a tele- phone number for you to call, without leaving his name, what should you say when calling that number? A. Merely say, "This is George Gordon. Did someone at this num- ber call me?" * * * Q. At a wedding reception, whose place is it to propose the toast to the newly -married couple? A. The best man. * * * Q. Where is the dinner napkin placed when setting the table? A. Folded square and flat,' it is laid on each "place" plate -and no fancy foldings of the napkin! Napkins are put at the side or across top of plates only when it is necessary to put food on the table. * * * Q. Does a man, when registering at a hotel, prefix "Mr." to his name? A. Not when he is alone. If, however, he is accompanied by his wife, he registers as Mr. and Mrs. Hugh J. Martin. * * * Q.
