"Dear Anne Hirst:
Nine months ago 1 met a boy
on a blind date. When he went
back to college, he started writ-
ing regularly, I invited him to
c dance one weekend, then he
asked me to one of his college
affairs, I was so sure.1 had found
a wonderful new friend!
"But when he came back I
only saw him twice, and he has
stopped writing at all.
"A friend of his tells me that
he thinks I'm a fine girl, but he
doesn't want to get serious with
anybody ... What can I do to
change his mind?
Worried,"
* Nothing.
* The lad is smart enough to
* realize he has to prepare for
* his career, and he cannot af-
* ford to give any girl; the tit-
* tention he may wish fn...The
* attitude does him credrt . riu-'
* would be very foolish taN•indi-
* tate your disappointment, `and
* he would not admire you for it.
* Later on, he may look you
* up, but don't count on it. Date
* the nice boys you know at
* home, and don't waste any
* more time dreaming of what
* might be.
• Men admire a good sport.
• Show him that you are one,

A man proves his love not only
in words, but in keeping his
Wife contented. Whatever con-
tributes to that is worth the sacri-
fice ... Anne Hirst is here to
help you out in any' time of
trouble. Address, her at Box, 1,

TIME TO COOL. OFF
Irate motorist James Kilbane,
of Muskegon. braked his car to
a standstill after being bumped
by another motorist, took off
his jacket and.tossed.it on the
Lood of the car which had hit
his, and prepared to do • battle
withthe offending motorist.
The offender wasn't at all an-
xious to pay damages in physi-
cal retribution, so Immediately
drove off, taking the spare
jacket with him still draped ove*
the hood of his car.
COOL 'COED—Whle her classmates sweltered, this young grad-

Partner is happy
An, the:hayfield once a6me
years ago Johnny was,,-inpc
for Partner; now Partner•.; Is'
working for Johnny — but with
out pay, 1 mightadd, and only
for odd days. Money doesn't
enter into it because Johnny is
always ready to do anything for
us so naturally we are glad to
help him when we can. Johnny
has found it sohard to get good
'hired help that he has practically
given up trying. Early last week
he blew in here to see if Part-
ner would go over and help him
get ready 'for haying- as 1 thou-
ght to sharpen mower knives
and other odd jobs. But when
Partner came home that night 1
was told he had mowed eight
acres of hay with the team on
the mower. It is years since Part-
ner handled horses so 1 was sur-
prised he had been able to tack-
le the job at all. I know he
couldn't have ' harnessed the
horses. but Johnny was on hand
to do that. The "boss" seems
quite satisfied with his "hired
man" says he knows what he
is doing and that's more than he
can say for most of the men he's
had around.

Even Sunday was a busy day
for us - but from a different an-
gle. Art and Dave came along
about eight o'clock in the morn-
ing, picked up Partner and then
they all went to see "Open
House" at the new Woodbine. It
is an annual event but for three
hours only, when visitors are all-
owed to go through the stables
and paddocks and see the horses
brought in and out for exercise,'
and thus get a little of the in-
side story of what goes on behind
the scenes during the races. 2
said it was a good day to go sin-
ce it was one occasion when
money could be neither won nor
lost ! Partner enjoyed it and
.David was thrilled because he
was permitted' to' ride one of the
horses. an old retainer, 1 imag
-ine, as he was out on pasture
,,without anyone looking after
him and 'children were allowed
to'ride him. Or maybe her - more
than likely it was a mare but 1
forgot to inquire. I' would like to
have heard more about the trip
but getting -details from a man is
like trying to draw hen's teeth 1
After lunch Partner and I
headed for Milton - via the back
concessions - the highway was
far too busy for pleasure driv-
ing. By -mating across country
we also hoped to see what pro-
gress was being niade on High-
way 401 from Peel County into
Halton. We were amazed at the,
amount of grading that had been
done. In spite of the fact that
good farm land has been taken
over yet we find it thrilling to
to see these wonderful new high-
ways taking shape and at very
little inconvenience to the trav-
elling public - far less than one
finds where old highways are,
being widened n cestitating fie-
tours and roug1f xqa 3 every few
miles.
We had a very' •definite pur-
pose in going to Milton - to pick
up Ditto at . the veterinary sung;
oif's office, and ofcourse, to see
.Bob and .Toy. I talked Partner
into going with me as 1 had an
idea it would need two of us to
bring DItto ,home . without mis-
adventure - after the joy ride 1
had had the day before when 1
was alone 1 We decided on a
visit to the "vet"toget away.
from having to deal with a litter
of kittens every' few months.
When 1 took Ditto away on Sat-
urday 1 had her in a nice, deep,
well ventilated carton, secure-
ly fastened at the top. Or so 1
thought. I reckoned without my.
Ditto' ! Before 1 had reached the
highway she was, out of the box.
At the village store 1 begged a
crate - the sort that pineapples
come in, with slats too close for
Ditto to get through. But that
didn't stop her. She chewed and
clawed at the slats until she had
one broken and thus was able to
make her escape once again.
After that 1 gave up. Ditto then
proceeded to go where she plea-
sed - from one seat to another,
exploring every nook and corner
of the car• and 1 nearly roast-
ing with the windows almost
shut. Occasionally she would
settle down 'on my lap so part of ,
the time 1 was holding Ditto with
one hand and driving With the
other so you maybe sure 1 got
c to the back, roads as soon as it
was possible. Ditto has more
,spunk and fight about her than
' any cat we ever owned.
When we were coming home
Partner had her on his knee
nearly all the way. We could.
n't'take a chance on her injur-
ing herself by scrambling around
in the car again. She wasn't
really, able but -she might have
tried it. Anyway she is •now very
happy - glad to be home again
but. feeling a little sorry for
herself and anxious 4e be petted.
We are . happy too - glad .:that
little episode was just one of a
kind.
Next week, -if 1 don't forget, I
must tell you of the unexpected
view we got from our bedroom
window. A celebration, no less !
