The Seaforth News, 1954-06-24, Page 6NEy 14 N �'' �aitru Cbuoth "Dear Anne Hirst! I am engag- ed to a man whim my family has chosen, but for several years I've been in love with another. My fiance's family and mine are very friendly and apparently were planning our future. At Christmas in their presence, he gave me a beautiful diamond. I was speechless. I have not found courage to oppose them all. "The other man (10 years old- er). I lder),I met in business, and 1 lov- ed hien from the first. Whenever I am with hien I am thrilled from head to toe, yet at peace and content. He never spoke to me in terms of love, an when he learn- ed of my engagement he wished me happiness—and withdrew. "I could not bear it, I tele- phoned him, and we went for a drive. He apologized for telling me that he really loves me, and had not realized what an inspir- ation I was until he was shocked by the news. He has become hag- gard and morose. "My mind is in a whirl. I am fond of my fiance, ane hesitate .to hurt him and our families. I)o you think I could learn to love him? "I am 22, The older man is a professional man, better educat- ed than my fiance (who lacks arnbition) and he has a larger income, Yet I wonder whether the difference in our education and experience would prove a barrier? Puzzled Secretary." * Try to picture the older man without a dollar to his name, Suppose his profession o should fail him, his invest- * ments wiped out, and as a re- * suit he became bitter? Can you * see yourself sticking to hien * through it all, comforting him, a counting all else well lost just to be by his side? If you can, * then break your engagement— Unless the possibility of his x altered situation alarms you, e unless you admit that his * wealth and worldly know- * ledge are his real lure and that you don't really love him for * himself alone. If this is true, * put him out of your mind to- * day and forever. o I rave never believed one e consciously learns to love a man. Marriage with one you * aren't in love with would * prove, I'm afraid, a shock to * your sensibilities—doubly so * since you love someone else. So I hope you will not at- * tempt to go through with mar- * riage to your present fiance * unless you fall in love with a' him, which may happen once * this ether man is out of your * thoughts, Decide first what * your true feelings are, and * then your future will be clear. (11 you break soul engage- * ment, the young man will get ' over it, His family certainly do * not want him to marry any * girl who doesn't love him. And * your parents will wish, finally, * for your personal happiness.) e WITH NO REGRETS "Deas Anne Hirst: I am is girl of 17. A few months ago I met a young man who seemed to be wonderful, but found out he wasn't. "He asked me for certain fav- ors I could not grant. I had a straightforward talk with him, and he tells me that all girls do such things nowadays. "Was I right in refusing? * R,S," Yob were exactly right in e refusing to lower your moral * standards. A year Or two from * now, he will think so, too, * For ages, men have been * telling girls just what this boy * told you. Some girls (like * yourself) have sense enough to * deny them what they ask * and can still keep thein as * friends. * I neer. not tell you that this "' boy has confused passion with * love, You knew this, and act- * ed accordingly. When the day * comes that you really fall in * love, how happy you will be * that yot, can come to your * husband with no reegeets! * Marriage tvithout love is life without savor. Better to end an unwelcome engagement than to run the risk. If yo- are con- fronted with such a problem (or any other than confuses you) tell Amit Hirst ahem it, and get her unbiased opinion.

The rain- bow is due to the bending and reflection of the sun's rays when they are shining on raindrops in the sky. The white tight of the sun is composed of all the colors mixed together; but when this white light passes through a drop of rain, the rays composing it are bent to different degrees, and so forced apart. When they reach the back of the raindrop, these separated rays—violet, in- digo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red—are reflected back to the eye. Upon leaving the drop, the various colored rays are again bent in such a way as to increase the separation between them. You sometimes see the same colors when sun shines on the spray from your garden hose and for the same reason, The drop- lets of water in the spray bend the light trays unequally.

Nobody's Going To Ea p o t Harry Harry Truman of Indepen- dence, Missouri, is driving a new Chrysler car between his home and his Kansas City office, where he spends a good deal of time preparing the memoirs of the nearly eight history -jammed years he spent in the White House. Drew Pearson, whom Mr, Truman has at times called by names not at ail intended as complimentary, tells the story of how the ex -president came to have a Chrysler and Pearson says the story was first told a group of business men in California by K. T. Keller, chairman of the Chrysler Corporation. It appears the manufacturer thought it would be goon ad- vertising if Mr, Truman should drive around in one of the more attractive new Chrysler .cars, so he telephoned the Independence citizen and suggested he should have a car of this make. When Mr, Truman admitted he had been thinking the same way, Mr. Keller said he reminded the ex - president that the car would be sent complimentary, and the company would be compensated by the value of the publicity potential Mr. Truman was quoted as saying he wasn't concerned with any advertising involved, but that he felt the office of Presi- dent should not be exploited, even by an ex -President. "I'm I going to have a Chrysler all right; but I'm going to pay for it," Mr. Truman was quoted as replying, "Is there anyone here who would have turned down a simi- lar offer?" the automobile exe- cutive was quoted as question- ing his hearers, most of whom probably were more able than Mr. Truman to afford the best ear of this make It looks like this fellow Tru- man, who has just finished his 70th year, is still the same stub- born sort of cuss he used to be around Washington.

The statue was made in 1525 and has always been admired, es- pecially by women visitors to Guidarelli's tomb upon which it lies, But in recent months, for some unexplained reason, women and girls have been streaming in greater numbers than ever, not only to gaze at his finely -chiselled features, but to kiss them. Day after day officials had to restrain the impetuous women— many of them pretty and well- dressed—from petting the statue. Every day lipstick and face powder was found on G uidarel- li's strong features and had to be cleaned off. The authorities began to fear the lovely marble would be dam- aged, especially after one wom- an had been caught trying to write her initials on the hero's forehead — hence the barbed wire. An. Italian actress is so enam- oured of the statue that she fre- quently visits it, clad in the deep- est mourning and remains, silent and meditative, near the tomb for many hours.

I wish .it would last all summer, There is only one thing I have against lilac, the growth is so hard to control — er per- haps we haven't found the right way to control it. Seekers seem to grow and grow again es fast as we dig them out, Lilacs are lovely wherever they grow but I think for variety and • fine bloom the campus at the On- tario A.griettltural College at Guelph is hard to beat. I have often wondered about the lilacs at the O.A.C, so I made a few inquiries and this is what 1 was told. Many of the lilacs are of the so-called Fraech hybrids, Quite a number of thein were raised by a well-known French nur- seryman and hybridizer, K. Vic- tor Lemoine so they naturally came to be associated with his country. Still other varieties grown in Guelph were perfected in England and 'Belgium and some in the United States. If you have ever visited Guelph in lilac time you will remember there are single lilacs, double lilacs and lilacs of every shade and True, all the way from white and pale mauve to deep purple and r;ed, Then when the early varieties have shed their fargrance the late -blooming, or Preston lilacs take over and pro- long the season, These late - bloomers are particularly inter- esting to people from Halton County because they were raised by Miss Isabelle Preston of Georgetown, during the years when she was working at the Horticultural Division at the Ottawa Experimental Farm, All the Preston varieties were raised before 1925. If you are interest- ed in named varieties and want to have them pointed out to you as for the Alice, Ursula, Isa- bella, Celia and Jessica Preston lilacs. All the lilacs at the OAC are of the bush or shrub species with the exception of one - the Japanese tree- lilac. As its name implies it grows in the form of a tree. It is the last of the lilacs to come into bloom and has large clusters of creamy -white flowers, The bark of the tree closely resembles that of the cherry, It is quite an interest- ing specimen. Well, there is certainly plenty of room for lilacs to grow at the O.A.C. as the campus alone — including the buildings — takes intim area of 125 acres. If you want to go further afield and take in all the farm properties connected with the O.A.C., then you have to cover an area of over eleven hundred acres. However, even though we can't have all the lovely tilacs that grow at the College we shouldn't let that worry us too much because even the common- est lilac growing in a fence corner sheds its fragrance for all the world to enjoy. It also has the advantage of being it prolific bloomer. We can pick it unstintingly, fill the house with it, give quantities away and stili hardly miss what we have pick- ed. At the sante time the Blaen are in bloom we also have the sweet -scented lilies -of -the -valley that lend themselves so beau- tifully for use in small vases on the breakfast table. How nicely Mother Nature arranges things — giving isa spring flowers a n d fragrant shrubs as we wait for summer plants to grow and come into bloom, Last week Partner dug up a bit of garden at the back of the house wire I like to grow a few geraniums; In another bed I set out some feras that Bob and Jay brought me from a nearby bush. That was two weeks ago and they are corning along fine in my garden, Pansies too. Driving along the road one day I passed boxes and boxes of pansies for sale, I couldi"t re- sist thein, Pansies are, so fntrigu- ' ing, You watch the buds unfold and you wonder .. will this one be purple, or yellow, or reddish-. blue? It doesn't really matter — they are all so lovely, And foe those who can't get out, there Is Bob Keith, C,B,C,'s radio gar- dener, who almost brings ,you flowers in the house with his esay,- informative talk on flow- ers and plants, I always enjoy listening to him. I wish I could say the same of all radio pro- grammes, What makes Partner and I see red is the lack of respect that is often shown towards those who are interviewed over the air, especially on provately owned stations, Young commen- tators, who, a few years ago were either to knee -pants or bobby sox, addressing older and better-known persons by their Christian names. The same prac- tice is often followed in news- casts. We hear the Minister of Agriculture referred to as "Jim- my" Gardiner and Dr. El 11, Hannam as "Herb." If broad- casters in their youthful ignor- ance consider this to be "srnart" surely the station or their spon- sors could check up on them once in awhile. A handle to a name isn't always necessary but Christian names should surely be taboo over the ah ex.- cept by contemporary artists and contributors, Remember how the U.S. clamped down on the indis- criminate use of "Mamie"? Deaf mascots There are a few insects that can hear, but the. greater num- ber, including flies, can not hear at all, Every imaginable kind of sound has been tried, and insects, with the exception of a very few kinds, take no notice of the sound whatever. The highest string of a violin has been scrapes" an inch away from bees engaged in pillaging flowers, and the bees paid no at. tention. Other senses of insects including flies, are so wonderful and in some respects so superior°s' to our own, that it is immensely S'* ` interesting to find that nearly all deaf.including the highest insects, such as bees, ants and wasps, are #007 OU9##u :.. ,rid Raised light and tender with new Active Dry Yeast! • There's a. new twist in doughnuts — a new thrill in all your baking!
