A girl I am fond of asked me to double=date' with her and' her beau and a friend of his. We had a fine evening, and he gave me a tre- mendous lift. Since then he and I have been going out often to- gether; up to now I've been a good girl, and, of course, intend to stay that way. I just seem to' need fun, but I am really badly confused — "You see, Anne Hirst, I don't want my husband to find out. I'd like to know what you think about it all.

Famous Ciipirer Ship Restored One of the bonniest sights of London, by sunlight, floodlight, or moonlight is the fully rigged old sailing ship, the Cutty Sark, at Greenwich, a 20 - minutes drive from Charing Cross. This most famous of sailing clippers which brought tea from China and wool from Australia is preserved for all time in dry dock in a romantic setting in I{ing William Walk near the Royal Maritime Museum and Greenwich Pier. The ship has been completely rerigged in authentic style through the record made by Henry Henderson, who r n sailed in her as ship's carpenter. His notebook was preserved with details of her masts, spars and boats. In the days of sail, ships were adorned and distinguished by colorful figureheads. The Cutty dark has a fine example. Paint- ed in white and outlined in gold, the witch of Robert Burns' poem leans over the waves in an effort to seize the Cutty Sark (or short shirt) of the ven- turesome farmer in the Burns' legend. In addition there is on board one of the finest and largest col- lections of merchantmen figure- heads in the world, presented by "Long John" Silver, a fa- mous character on the River Thames. The crew's quarters, the gal- leys, and the cabins spell end- less fascination for the visitors, old and young, who throng the gangways and descend the ladders. Tougher Penalties For Bad Drivers "A man drives as he lives," has become a cliche among the an- alyses of automobile accidents. In other words, the greatest sin- gle cause of highway mishaps is the personal equation, rather than the condition of the car, or the character of the road, or legal regulations. So the driver most to be fear- ed is the one who resents all con- trols in his life, or take a chance in everything, or gives full rein to a sense of power whenever he feels it, or habitually loses his head even under slight strain... . Yet it has been proved also that many serious auto accidents are caused by drivers who only occasionally throw off restraints, or fall under the influence of al- cohol, or nod at the wheel, or take chances. Early in the 1958 session of Congress, Oklahoma's Senator Mike Monroney says he will in- troduce a bill for a federal com- mission to collect and analyze adequately all possible data on highway accidents. If the analy- sis warranted, federal drivers' licenses issued only after real tests and suspended or revoked for frequent bad driving could be required of all interstate drivers. Out of this welter of ideas congressional leaders interested in highway safety hope to come up with some new and effective legislation. No matter.what shape the new laws take, Congress can't miss if it increases the severity of punishment of reckless driv ' ers, — Portland (Maine) Press Herald. Obey the traffic signs — they are placed there for YOUR SAFETY. RIDING HABIT -Dressed in a nun's habit, actress Audrey Hep- burn bicycles past a group of natives in Stanleyville, Belgian Congo. She's costumed for her role in "The Nun's Story", being filmed on location in Africa. ev en dour .e P. C.a r ,e One who has at some time learnt to swim, or to ride a bi- cycle never quite forgets the art. He may be out of practise but he doesn't forget. And that seems to apply to farming as well. Once a farmer always a farmer even if the hands are no longer actively engaged in doing farm chores. The interest is still there. That seems to be the way with Partner anyway. Why else shouldhe take the trouble to ride in the cab of a milk -tank truck and find out for himself just what happens' to the milk shipped in bulk to the dairies? Just before we left the farm there was quite an agitation to induce dairy farmers to "go tank" instead of shipping milk in cans. At the time it seemed to us like a tremendous outlay for equipment, more than a hundred -acre farmer could af- ford. But now the idea has real- ly caught on and in some dis- tricts farmers shipping to local dairies are the only ones who continue to use cans, chilled in a • milk -cooler before shipping, One of our former neighbours is a milk -trucker and goes by here nearly every day so Part- ner arranged to ride with him one one of his trips. Partner al- ready knew how bulk milk was handled at the farm but had no idea what happened at the dairy. Here is his account. At the dairy where he went there was room for two tank trucks to back up into the build- ing and stop at a given spot. Here. a plastic hose was con- nected to the tank nozzle. A motor was then started which drew the milk from the tank and forced it into a vat on scales where it was automati- cally weighed. From there the milk went into the processing plant. While Partner was there three tanks, carrying about six tons of milk were emptied, washed, and out again in about thirty minutes. And in that time Partner never saw one drop of milk! As soon as a tank was empty a man dropped into it through a manhole at the top and thor- oughly washed and scrubbed the inside of the tank. After he came out the tank was rinsed again. Then a sterilizing com- pound was forced into the tank and sealed. Then the trucker went to work, hosing and wash- ing down the outside of his truck, and it was ready for the next day. Waiting at the loading ramp there were also quite a large number of smaller trucks ready. topick up theirdaily quota of sani-seal packages and bottles to be delivered to the stores. Thus the whole process is ac- complished with speed and ef- ficiency and from the time the milk leaves the cows' udders at the various farms until it reaches your doorstep it is not once touched by ,human hands. Extraordinary, isn't it?; How different front a few years :ago. Do you remember how often you found a certain amount of what appeared to be dirt at the bottom of a milk bottle? In fact a small percen- tage of sedimentation was al- lowed by the Health authorities as it wasn't thought possible that milk could be delivered 100% pure — as it 15 today. I also remember that if a new hired band were engaged among other questions he was gener- ally asked -1. If he could milk, and 2. If he were a "wet" or "dry -hand milker." Partner nev- er allowed wet -hand milking in his stable for which I was very thankful. The very thought of it used to make me feel sick. But yet it was quite a common practise when we first started farming. renin . Et lot of farmers claimed it was better for the cows! Apparently little thought was given to the consumers .. . and that was before the days of enforced pasteurization! In the old days people must certainly have developed a sort of immu- nization otherwise tuberculosis and undulant fever would have been more common than they were. Remember, too, how chil- dren used to love to be around at milking time to get a drink of warm milk straight from the cow. Ugh . I used to wonder how they could drink it! Yes, looking back over our thirty-six years of farming it is extraordinary to note the changes that have taken place —and most of them a decided improvement from a sanitary point of view, But don't forget all these improvements are re- flected, and are a part, of the increase in our present day cost of living index. We pay for what we get, whether it is in the make and texture of a new dress or the improved quality of the milk we buy. The same applies to eggs. Remember when hens used to scratch for their living and the egg -yolks were dark and often smelt and tasted quite strong? The eggs we get now are light in colour, mild in flavour but the price we pay for there includes charges for shipping, candling, grading and sometimes delivering. All the farmer gets is the cost of pro- ducing the eggs, which includes the cost of raising the hens from chicken -hood.

This amazing prospect hinges on the "lost will" of Mrs. Daisy Alexander, the Singer sewing machine heiress. When she died in 1939; expectant beneficiaries searched the gaunt, empty man- sion in Grosvenor Square where she had lived alone. An ex -army sergeant -major went over every inchof the house with a mine -detector, probing for a safe or some other secret receptacle beneath the. plaster or floorboards. The only known will:. w' one Mrs. Alexander had signeaiirty years earlier. Yet she was at - ways talking of makingwills, leaving her affairs in perfect' order — and servants testified that on two occasions they had been asked to witness wills. Then a young clairvoyant searched the house, running his hands over the walls to elicit what he called "sympathetic vi- brations." Though he did not find the will, he scored some palpable hits. He had never met Daisy Alexander before her death, but was able to describe the way he used to stand beside the ;fireplace. The lost will,he de- clared, was concealed in a black vase or a settee of yellow silk. What is this mind picture— if not of a black bottle on a yellow beach? In 1949 an unemployed restau- rant worker named Jack Wurm was killing time on a San Fran- cisco. beach when he idly kicked at a bottle and noticed something tucked inside. It proved to be a piece of paper with the words, "I leave my entire estate to the lucky person who finds this bot- tle, and to .my attorney share and share alike. Daisy Alexan- der, June 20, 1937." Wurm thought the. document just a joke. It was three months before he heard of the London will hunt and filed his claim. Then friends remembered Mrs. Alexander's ,habit of throwing bottles intb the sea, wondering where they would go. Experts on ocean currents testified that a bottle dropped into the Thames could wash to the English chan- nel, on to the North Sea, through the Bering Strait into the Pacific and southward in twelve years, Jack Wurm faced seven years of legal wrangling before the will was upheld. Now, besides his share in the main fortune, his dividend from sewing me - chine stock will me $75,000 a year. There's still just a sporting chance that Mrs. Alexander signed a later will and flung that in turn into the ocean. It may have drifted thousands of miles. Or it may have remained tangled in weeds near home. You could find it at your feet at any time! TWO. TOO BAD Rescuers who dragged Ray- mond Bralley from the stream at Charmes, France, into which he had stumbled in the dark, called a doctor. They saw the doctor arrive, stumble in the dark and fall into the stream. He, too, had to be hauled ashore for treat- ment. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q.
