It is getting so humiliating that I dread to go out with him. The girls always resent it, and more than once their escorts have ob- jected. "I have tried to be reasonable, not jealous; but when there's a public scene, my husband plays innocent and denies it all. "Now something must be done. I've found out why our boy, 18. no longer brings his dates home. Evidently people are talking, and he is afraid to trust his father!

Crystal Ball Reveals Atomic Engine—Esther Sonn peers in the crystal, which reveals how a land-based prototype of an atomic sub's power plant will look. The "crystal" is a plastic model of the 225 -foot, 14 -story high steel sphere now being built to house the atomic engine. The sphere is designed to prevent escape of any dangerous radiation. flf NICLE S C1 G R 3w¢t�doti.r e p C„M Until quite recently we knew an aged farmer who lived alone — never took a daily paper and had no radio, Unless someone called in tq see hint, or he met other farmers down town, he knew nothing at all of what was going on in the world, even in his - otvn province or district. Often we thought it was a ter- rible way to live. On the other hand what a lot of headaches that man was saved! .IIe went his way, minded his own busi- ness, and had no worries about current wars, politics, accidents, murders or shipwrecks, And in regard to weather forecasts — they could be right or they could, be wrong — he Wouldn't know. But he did use his own judgment. He would look at the angry, red sunset and brace his barn doors against the high winds he knew were coming. Or if the wind was' in the east and a chill, raw feel- ing in the air, he gave the young cattle extra feed and kept them in for the night. This old man was in the world but definitely not of it, yet he was a good neighbour and al- ways ready to lend a hand in time of trouble. He lived simply and lasted a lot longer than many of his friends and neighbours who possessed greater know- ledge -- of a sort — but who certainly worried a great deal more than he did. This old man, without the help of reading or radio, had been a wonderful farmer. His cattle were well looked after; his horses his joy and pride; his fields elean and his buildings in good repair. Be - store we heard much about soil conservation this farmer prac- ticed contour ploughing on the hilly fields of his farm — not through having read about it but by figuring out the need for it 111100lf. Sometimes one is tempted to wonder it too much information isn t picked up the easy way — and then not enough use made of it. Reading is something like eating -- it isn't the food we eat that counts but how much our digestive system assimilates. Learning by doing also has its advantages.' And the difference in people has to be considered. Some folk can follow directions from a book or article and do a perfect job — whether it is remodelling a stable or knitting a sweater. I belong to the look -and -learn class, Following closely written instructions on how to do this or that bares tne to teat's, Just lazi- ness, I guess. But give me a four basic directions and a sample of what the finished article should look like and I'm away.

Patience; Yesterday I came across a photograph of Part- ner's grandmother who died in Marlborough (Pingland) at the age of 103. This photograph shows her, at 86, making pillow lace. Old country people will probably know the kind of lace I mean; others may never have heard of it. So much skill and patience is required for this art that I am afraid it is one kind of handicraft that is, or soon will be, completely obsolete. The stiff pillow is held on the lap; the design is pinned on the pillow and the lace is woven by means of fine thread wound on bobbins, the number of bobbins depend- ing on the pattern -- anywhere from ten to thirty. The lace closely resembles Maltese lace, During the reign of Queen Vic- toria. many of the best lace -mak- ers in Buckinnhamshire had a busy time making lace for the Princess Royal. At present I am doing a bit of research on the historical background of pillow lace. If any readers have any information they would like to pass along it would be greatly appreciated.- Perhaps you may also know of a modern type of pillow lace. Well, I suppose • right now everyone is feeling thankful — for the railway strike that didn't COMP oaf — except that our own feeling of relief is tempered with distress as more news is received every hour about the terrible storms in England, Holland and Belgium. Without a radio we wouldn't know so much — but how could we bear not to -know, down to the, very last detail, if any of these countries should be our homeland? If we have lived in England we know what these Channel storms are like — and this, apparently, is the worst one yet. And our Canadian winter seems to have come at last. The thermometer registered four above when Art, Dee and Betty set out for Toronto a short while ago, after having dinner here to celebrate Daughter's birthday. We had Christmas pudding, saved for the event — and a good fat hen, camouflaged as roast chicken! Sharp Contrasts a Finland Finland, with an area of about 117,000 square miles, is only slightly smeller Utah the British Isles, but has only 3,900,000 peo- "pls, This 1109100 can claim the' ;`distinction of having its major;; :population concentrations in'' cities and industries and on Samna ftu'ther north in the World than: any other large group of per- sons with an advanced economy The Finns are confronted with the problem of deriving a living from a land composed largely of lakes and swamps, and a soil more suitable to forests than farming. In addition, they face the problem of adjusting their economy to long winter nights, a short, cool growing season; and harbors blocked by lee for many months of the year, The lack of fertile farm land is reflected in the small population living in the relatively large area, Only tenper cent of the land is in cultivation or pasture; seventy- five per cent, in forest; and the t'emalnedr, in marsh, bog, lakes, and outer unproductive surface covering. The Finns live in an elongated land extending from 000 to 70° North Latitude. More than one fourth of the country is north of the Arctic Circle, a location not unlike that of Alaska. The basics physical structnr' • t Finland is a plateau rising 500 to 2000. feet above sea 1,, Ind extend- ing north and sou., through the greater part of the country. Over- lying some of the oldest roi:k areas in the world are materials telt by the continental ice sheet. The melting of the ice caused clay and gravel hills to be de- posited in a crescent shape at an elevation roughly five hun- dred feet above sea level. These deposits marls the boundary zone between the lake region and a coastal margin some fifty to 000 hundred miles wide, extending along the Gulf of Finland -and the southeastern shores of the Gulf of Bothnia. Central Finland, with its lakes, swamps, and for- ests, contrasts sharply with the coastal areas, which are lower, have fewer lakes, and offer more soil suitable to farming. On the inner edge of the coastal margin, where streams flow from the lakes, water power is developed. Front "World Political Geog- raphy,” by G, Else/ Pearcy, Rus- sell N. Fifield and Associates.

REAL GROt1(lLI The lute Paul Armstrong, a fa- tnous playwright u generation ago by virtue of his The Deep Purple and alias Jimmy Valen- tine, had more trouble with hie producers than Better Davis en- countered forty years later with the WLu'ner Brothers. When The Deep Purple wowed an opening- night audience, George M. Cohan told Armstrong, "It's great, kid. You ought to thank George Ty- ler and the entire cast." "I'm not speaking to him," snapped Arm- strong. ''Then thank Hugh Ford for his direction," said Arm- strong. Later Cohan was asked why Armstrong hadn't made curtain speech. "Didn't yolt know?" grinned Cohan. "hes not speaking to the audience."
