They are out with their young
friends playing, or at their lit-
tle clubs, which leaves me alone.
I have Joined clubs and organi-
zations, but it is lonely with no
future to plan for with someone.
I am interested in music, which
helps a good deal, and I love to
cook. But I feel strange with
married. couples I have known,
for the adjustment is difi'icult.
"I've known a well-educated
man who is separated from his
wife. For three years he- has
talked of getting a divorce, but
it has not yet happened. I hear
his wife has found someone else,
and now he pays more attention
to inc. Should I play second fid-
dle?"
CONFUSED
What little you say about
this man gives the idea that he
" seems to be more concerned
with his oe ll welfare than
'° w.ith yours. Do you really
" love him?
" Many a divorcee finds her
"' new life an emotional as well
" as a social problem. It takes
" a long while to adjust one's
self, For even en unfortunate
• marriage furnishes some com-
" panionship, if only in its fric-
• tions, You need to bolster
' your self-confidence, Face the
* future bravely, and make the
most of outside interests to fill
" the void.
" Do you and the boys attend
" church regularly? Are you an
✓ active church member? Your
" musical talents might be used
:. there, and you would find the
contribution spiritually help-
" ful. Have you thought of join-
"' ing a local musics] group, or
* taking on a few young pupils?
" That might balance your club
associations nicer*.
• '1'ry to overcome ' feeling
"' strange with the married
" couples you know. Divorcees
" are not' new to them, and with
" your experience. you could
" share mutual probtetns that in-
• duce friendships. Don't in-
., dulge in the inclination to
" stand them oft'.
" These first months are the
hardest. Mingle more with
" people, with friendliness and
you will find your place. As
,- your boys grow older they
" will need more and more the
* affectionate understanding you
can give them. You owe 1t to
" them - broaden your interests
s outside the home and be an
` alert and enthusiastic partici-
' pant.

The miracle of spring is re-
peated again; pasture land and
wheat fields are looking fresh
and green; even some spring -
sown fields have a greenish
tinge suggesting the successful
germination of early pats Daf-
fodils are swaying in the wind
in all their golden glory; flower-
ing shrubs, bursting with new
life, whether it be foliage, the
golden bells of the forsythia or
the cherry red japonica The
great outdoors is full of promise
after a wonderful rain, , now
all we have to do is keep pace
with it! We also have with us
daylight-saving time --- a help
or a hindrance, according to
what we make of it, In haying
time it is undoubtedly a hin-
drance to farmers but right now
I can't see that it makes much
difference one way or another,
Another unfailing sign 01
spring ... the swallows are back
to the barn --- or rather one swal-
low has returned. Partner says
the same thing happens eve'r'y
spring---lze is milking, hears a
little chirp now and thea looks
up and sees one little swallow,
flying in and out, first to one
beam and than another. This one
reconnoitering swallow stays
around for a day or two and
then disappears. But eventually
it returns in company with its
brothers and sisters, its cousins
and its aunts. Love -making is
soon underway and then comes
the serious business of setting up
house and raising a family. Life
has feu complications for the
swallow family — their swift
flight and the location o.t their
nests defies even the barnyard
eat — perhaps that is why
Shakespeare spoke of them as
symbolic of hope — "True hope
is swift, and flies with swal-
low's wings,"
But the swallows are not the
only ones around here with plans
for setting up house. Son Bob
is doing the same thing — only,
unlike the swallows, he is batch-
ing it, at least for the present.
He has a nice little bungalow
an the outskirts of Oakville, only
a few hundred yards from the
construction plant vthere. he

and gas that. would ordinarily

from Mete, Such a nice little
bungalow, four rooms and a
bathroom and a full-size base-
ment. The ground -floor front
windows look out aeons a pas -
tune field where there are sev-
eral lovely big trees; beyond that
stretches the Queen Elieabeth
Way with its constantly moving
traffic. But the kitchen and Bob'e
bedroorn have quite a ditferent
outlook, which Bob finds rathee
amusing -- that is, a view of the

a square table which was in 001
bedroom beeausc there was nu
other piece to put it, tout it was
too good to throw out. (The bed•
room is 20 x 20 so It can quite
easily accommodate unwanted
pieces of furniture,) This old
table was really something—old
oak, with six solid legs. The two
extra legs had always been u
nuisance so the other clay 1 turn-
ed the table on its side to find
out if they could be removed
without too much trouble, 1
found 1 had a strlki;zg example
of the difference between old
furniture and acw! My only tool
was a screwdriver, yet, 'inside
of thirty minutes, I had all the
legs off, also the extension slides
and the table top hi two sec-
tion*, I wished I had looked at
it properly years ago. Bob tools
the table away knocked down.
Now he can re -finish it, reassem-
ble it as one big table or make
it into two smaller ones — and
he thinks the surplus legs can
be eat down to make bases for
table lamps. So, if you people
have any old furniture that can
do with a little remodelling you
will probably find it can be taken
apart just as easily as this table
of ours. Or give it away end let
someone else have the fun and
satisfaction of working on it,
Through the years, on farms in
particular, we accumulate a lot
of stuff that might just as well
be shared with the younger ones
as they leave the old place to
rake homes for themselves.

HOW CAN 1?
Q. Hots can I clean white
stucco -
A, Use a fiber brush and a
solution of soap and water; rinse
thoroughly° with cold water. If
this does not remove the dirt,
try a mixture of one part of
sulphuric acid to seven parts 'of
water for the scrubbing com-
pound. Rinse with cold water.
Q. Ilow can I get relief from
burns and scalds?
A. Common baking socla,
either wet or dry, bound on a
burn or scald immediately, will
usually give instant relief. This
is caused by excluding the air
from the wound.
Q. How can 1 c 1 e alt soiled
photographs?
A. Wash them with a piece of
white cotton dipped in cold wa-
ter. Be sure not to use colored
cotton, and never use soap or
ammonia, just cold water,
Q. Row can I i sup rove the
smoothness of clothing that Inas
been starched?
A. Smoothness and glossiness
can be more easily secured, when
ironing starched pieces, by stir-
ring the starch three or f o u r
times while boiling with a para-
ffin candle.
Q. How can I a vo i d having
tough rolls?
A, Do not brush the rolls with
water after they are taken from
the oven, as this makes the crust
tough. Brush them with water or
buttter before putting into the
oven.
Q. How can I easily insert
screws into harts wood?
A. klub the threaded part of
the screw over a piece of soap
before inserting it in t o hard-
wood, and see if it doesn't faci-
litate the work,
Q. Row much whitewash Is re-
quired to cover a medium-sized
cellar?
A. It is well to remember that
a gallon of whitewash will cover
about 225 square feet of wood,
180 square feet of . brick, and
about 270 square feet of plaster.
