A HOME OF HER OWN You two are not adoles- eents, and probably you could meet almost any hurdle intel- * ligently; but it is foolhardy to walk open-eyed into circum- stances so fraught with risks • as this one promises, Your ' finance's sister is already miss tress of the only home he • knows. There would be frit- " tion, even if you admired each " other warmly. You cannot " admire her, and it is not un- likely she resents the very idea of your marriage. • The housing situation is * easing up, I'm told but, it has postponed many a marriage. " Yet where there's a will, etc. " If your fiance is convinced you will not marry him until * he can provide a place for the * two of you, he will stir his * stumps with more vigor and ` find one. * Most men are not se sensi- • " tive nor imaginative as wo- 1 " men, and yolt may have dif- * fic•zlty in persuading your " fiance to see thing your way. * But he, too, must have done a i * little thinking about the situa- • tion; he should realize that * only patience, combined with * renewed efforts to find living * quarters, can make the mar- * riage possible, * Remind him that you will be content to start modestly " and live that way until condi- tions improve. If you are not Ii * working, perhaps you can find a part-time position, That * will occupy '-our mind, and * provide a nest -egg for the * future --which is always wel- * come no matter how well off • the man is. " Why consider breaking the i engagement? Talk things * over, and inspire each other * by your mutual love and faith, * Meeting the facts head-on, to- " gether, should make you both • admire the other more. WHAT A RISK! "Dear Anne Hirst: 1! o u r months ago I met a man who had just got his divorce from his third wife; they had been married only a short time. I feel in love, and he claims he loves me. He bas taken me everywhere, and brought me lovely gifts. (I hear he is dat- ing another girl, but he denies this,) "I have been married and divorced, and have a baby. Shall I take this man seriously, or 'look the field over?' TJNDECIDED" To marry a man who has * had three wives and failed to * hold one, is reason enough of * itself to wonder what is wrong * with him. It certainly does * not recommend him as a hus- * band. To marry anyone whom you * have known only a few " months is a terrible chance to • take. How can you possibly * know whether you two are * well suited? I'm afraid you are letting " your heart rule your thinking. You fell in love with your • husband, hut couldn't get RAE THE CLYDE TAE, THE ST.

Time is a queer thing. On a Saturday don't you often look back and wonder where the week has gone to: Other trines the beginning of the week seems such a long way otf. But still, fast or slow, time is cer fainly moving on. The Exhibi tion is over, fall fairs `are com Ing up, children are back to school, days are getting shorter and all the hundred and one extra jobs we hope to get done before the leaves fall are crowding in on us. Isn't that the way you lee'? But cheer up •— that sort of feeling is inevit able with the early days of autumn, and yet we always do get through, don't wel But what is it makes one week seem longer or shorter than another? You know how it is — sometimes we plan to do this and that, and then, at the end of the week, because eb unforseen interruptions, we find we have accomplished lit- tle more .than ordinary every- day chores. Isn't it 00 such oc- casions that time seems 60 have slipped away? On the other hand we occasionally — and I do mean occasionally -- get done even more than we had planned, and then it is we can hardly believe that only a week has gone by. That is what hap- pened around here last week — but it was more by luck than good management. Monday of last weelc was, Labour Days We were not expecting company so, since we were down to our last kitchen towel and teacloth, 1 got ready for a big wash. I was busily sorting the first lot ready for the machine when Johnny blew in and announced that he wanted to thresh his field of oats that day — the field that he had sown on our farm. Could I feed four or five extra men for dinner? Could I? For a few minutes 1 was in a dither, Stores were closed . , had 1 enough food in the house to feed seven people for dinner? Yes, T know some farmer's wives have that many and pos- sibly more, to feed every day. But at least you are prepared for it. But when there is a fam- ily of two, tripling up on a meal isn't so easy, especially with the stores closed. However, 1 told Johnny to go ahead, I would manage somehow. And I did — and everyone got enough to eat. T also got my washing done, and the ironing -- thanks to Partner Helping me out in the rnryrnir,r It seethed stranger to have a threshing machine an the farts again atter a, lapse of four years: More strange still to tee hares at work — there were four t: -ams drawing in. When IS$T?E 41) -- 1984 Johnny first mentioned thresh- ing we thought the oats would be 600 tough but he turned out some of the stooks ahead of time and they went through the machine all right, By five o'clock the oats were threshed and the machine on its way out. For the next hour Partner and Johnny were bagging up the screenings In the barnyard be- fore the cows could get a chance to gorge themselves — with possibly disastrous results. Tuesday and Wednesday were /sot, wet and humid. But Thurs. day was a red letter day, It was our local W. T. meeting and we had as guest speaker, Miss Sybil Bennett, Federal member of parliament for Halton County, and a very able lawyer, Miss Bennett is well-known to many of the members of our branch, and we also knew her as an excellent speaker. Her subject was the making of a will, parti- cularly in regard to farm folk. Naturally she stressed the im- portance of both husband and wife making a will, but she also touched on the almost equally important matter of filling in- come tax returns, and explain- ed how the settlement of an estate can be complicated in any case where such returns had not been made. "T1 you are not filing returns," said Miss Bennett, "don't think you are getting away with anything just because the government doesn't check up on you and request you to do so, The government has become tired of sending Out requests and warnings. Now it lets the matter ride until an estate has to settled. Then the government steps in and if re. turns have not been made each year then the government may demand income tax returns, possibly for the past ten years." Miss Bennett explained the worry and extra work this brings to the widow and the executors — work and worry that can easily be avoided if every farmer makes a point of filing income tax returns each year; as required by law evert though your NET ineozne may be In the nontaxable bracket. You may know that but the government doesn't un- less yotl make returns to prove it, It: was all very geed adviee but I am afraid we forgot all about wills and succession du• ties in our excitement over the marvellous achievement of that delightful little girl, Marilyn 13e11. We admired her not only for her oourage and endurance in completing the swim but for her fine ch+maeter and pet:son; silty.
