I thought we were perfectly happy; we spent all our spare' moments together. Suddenly last February she left me and went to her father and mother. All the explanation she gave is that she doesn't love Ire any more. "I went to a western town, and she came and spent 10 clays with me. She told me that she has fallen in love with an 13 - year -old boy and wants pie to divorce her Now she doesn't answer my letters.

An Object Lesson American Protestants some- timee are critirized as being stub- born, selfish, heartless, and bigoted because they resist ap- peals of Roman Catholics for bus transportation, textbooks, lunch- es, nurse service, or other and more direct subsidies to their parochial schools at public -that is, taxpayers' expense. In many European countries government subsidies to "confes- sional" schools of several faiths go much further than this, in- cluding building costs and teach- ers' salaries. Ir. France, Germany and to some extent Britain and the Netherlands, it has taken real effort to preserve adequate sup- port for state schools, ht Belgium it has long been OR:AT-GRANDCHILDRN BY THE DOZENS - If Mrs. Anton Strack, left, has a proud smile on her face, it's ltecause she's standing beside her 100th great-grandchild, a nine -pound four -ounce boy born recently to Mrs. Raymond 'Messing, right. Great- grandmother Strack also has 13 living children and 67 grand- children, for a grand total of '180 descendants FOUR CRYING OUT LOUD - This quartet of hungry little robins lives in a nest that mother built over Sam Goodman's garden hose. Although quite perturbed over Mom's absence with the groceries, they don't seem to mind her unorthodox choice of a building site. customary for the state to pro- vide a large part of the budget for Roman Catholic Church - operated schools, even extending this to a near -monopoly of edu- cation in the African Congo. Last December the Belgian Parlia- ment voted by a substantial mar- gin to reduce the subsidies for these schools by about 5 per cent. The vote was recently repeated. On Sunday, March 27, several thousand mounted police and riot troopers with sabers, batons and fire hoses were needed in Brus- sels to disperse columns of mar- chers which converged on the capital city in defiance of an offi- cial ban on such demonstrations, Several hundred arrests were made. A Catholic newspaper de- scribed the disturbance es a "memorable protest". 1f this is the kind of pressure encountered when a people's elected representatives conclude subsidies have gone too far, can it be wondered at that American non-Catholics balk at opening the door at all to a breakdown of the eonstitntionnl separation of church and state. --From the Christian Science Monitor.

Now it is lilac time . and such a profusion of blossom - to say nothing of the per- fume. But I still miss the la- burnum. In England purple lilac and yellow laburnum come into bloom at the same :time - and the colouring is just perfect. "I remember , . . my brother set the laburnum on his birthday - the tree is living yet.” My brother didn't set it but there was a laburnum in our garden, and great clusters of delicate yellow flowers hung suspended from its boughs. Will laburnum grow in Canada I wonder? Seems to me I have seen it a time or two - and I can't see why it shouldn't. But you never can tell. Plant life is very temperamental. Take wall- flowers for instance . . those lovely brown, gold and bronze wallflowers that grow so easily in England. But where in Can- ada can you find them? Ap- parently the climate is too hot for them. And primrose, cow- slips and bluebells - none of them likes our Canadian wint- ers. However, we have plenty of flowers in Canada that won't grow in England - our lovely trilium, for instance. And the birds ... Old Country folic miss the skylark, nightin- gale, cuckoo and the little red robin.• Remember walking through the woods in spring and how thrilled we'd he the first time we heard the cuckoo? We knew it was a lazy, good-for- nothing bird, laying its eggs in another bird's nest; enjoying the pleasures of parenthood without taking over its responsibilities, but yet we couldn's help loving the cuckoo's song - "Cuck-oo . cuckoo!" And somewhere in the distance would come an echo - "Cuck-oo . , . cuckoo." As for the nightingale - there isn't any other bird -song that can possibly compare with the nightingale for sweetness. It be- longs to moonlight nights, a park beside a lillypond; two in a canoe idling down -stream . and love's young dream. By contrast. during World War I I heard Zeps zooming and a nightingale singing all at ane and the same time. The skylark ... who can for- get the skylark as he soars aloft in a burst of song?

The sprightly song of the Little bird proved to be the greatest ambassador of goodwill that could possibly be imagined. The story reminded me very much of Wordsworth's poem about a thrush that 116ved so much in my youth - still do for that natter, "At the corner of Wood Street ... hangs a thrush that sings lotid ... poor Susan has passed by the spot and has heard in the silence of morning the song of the bird." And in the song of the bird Susan re- members so much of the home she had loved. Well, it hasn't been all birds singing and flowers blooming around here. There has been some work done ton, John and his hired man were over to put in a field of oats and there were two tractors going most of the time. The men were here for dinner and went home for chores and supper. Friday night Johnny came back aeain and worked in the field until after twelve that night - for himself, not for us! Saturday morning he came along with a team for the drill and a girl to drive the tractor. Maybe so much ambition should be commended . . but 1 don' t know. Rushing a job like that must be very exhausting. Any- way, it makes Partner and ' feel tired just to see them at it. We can still put in a fair day's Work ourselves - but not at that pace. We sent some rattle out earlier in the week - a cow and two veal calves. Poor old Jane - she finally went to the stockyards, after Partner threatening td send her out for several years. But there was al- ways some hold-i,p .. "Might as well wait until after the calf is born or "I'd li'ce to get a little more meat on her first." Now lane has gone, and she tipped the scales at 1190 lbs, so, for an old cow, she wasn't exnrtly .skin and bone. Our few remaining hens are doing fine. Partner said the other day they were laying 98%. "Why 98?" I asked. Partner was not sure whether it was always 98 but it wouldn't sound right to say you got 16 eggs from 18 hens. Everything has to be worked out in percentages these days! Maybe Parner listens to too many farm broadcasts at the barn -- or gets more in- formation than he can make use of. This struck us as funny. Partner had been very interest- ed in Mr. Leatherbarrow's idea of "Gold in the Grass". Wheet he knew the author was to ad -- dress the local Seed Fair last spring he wanted to hear him. But he had a friend staying here at the time. Partner tried to get our friend interested enough to go to the meeting with him, But it was useless. A few weelcti later this same man was bade aagin, and, quite by accident, had came across "Gold in the Grass" and had read it, He was terribly enthused - "best book I ever read". Apparently he did not connect the author with the speaker Partner had wanted to hear but told him all about the book, assuming, no doubt that it was all news to Partner. And that's the way it was left. Part- ner can act awfully dumb wheoe he feels like it. Class Submarine A strange sight among the multi -coloured exotic fish that swarm in the clear blue water8 of the Caribbean, nosing over the coral and through the beau- tiful garden of tropical seta plants, is a tiny "glass" subma- rine, Cramped within the special shell, adventurer Edward J.

The foaming white surf thund- ers against the golden beachee of the islands - islands whose rocky approaches are strewn with the wreck! of storm -ra- vaged ships that foundered through the centuries. LeCompte got his romantic treasure -hunting ideas back its Oklahoma City when, two yeara ago, $1,800,000 worth of gold was recovered off Nassau, in the Ba- hamas. 5 -le had always been fas- cinated by old yarns of deep-sea treasure and this made him de- cide to find out for himself. His fourteen -foot submarines can withstand water pressure at 2,700 feet, can carry a load of 3,000 pounds and cost some $15.- 000 to complete. Ile says he built it of fibreglass because the material is three times stronger than steel for its weight. Going on Vacation? Florida We arrange Hotel, Mote!, Apartment accommodations!
