"I feel that my husband and I need to get out together more, but his work prevents our plan- ning it. We can't pay a baby- sitter because be is a fiend for saving nickels, He has never helped to discipline the children. it all rests with me. 2 am, I'm frail, ori the verge of collapse, gement seem to give either my husband or the children the love they need. My mother was never affectionate nor demon- strative, 2 don't want to get like that, but I'm on my way to be- ing worse! Until lately I've never been out of the house al- one. But this semester I've signed up for a Parent -Educa- tion class, and one in volley ball, Is this wise? I need some kind of help. "What would you suggest? 1 sits only 25, but 1 feel 60!

There is one group I would like to' join, but the ring -leader's boy friend likes me! "I don't like hint, but all the girls are so cool to me now. It hurts terribly, because they are really nice girls: ."How can 1 win their friend- ship MARY" ' It is a mistake to try to * force yourself into any group * just yet; it is a bit early for * that, and besides, such cliques * usually make the first move. " Be pleasant to all the students, "' but concentrate on your stud- • ies and give thein all the en- ergy you have. As the girls "observe your industry (and * they will) they will come to e respect your application, at e least; friendship is apt to fol- * low. " Later on you can practice * those little ways to show e your liking that you would * employ with any other nice * girls. Ask one or two occa- ▪ sionally to advise you in your * classes. (We all like to be * thought superior. and this ap- e preach almost never fails). After school, invite one to have a coke with you, or make * some similar gesture. Those • cliques are sometimes for-. * m{idable, remember, and all • this will take time. • You will, of Course. avoid this boy, and if he persists, * tell him off, The word gets " around. u w a If you are discouraged with yourself, analyze your shortcom- ings coldly, and do something about them, Anne Hirst stands by to help and cheer you on.

Radio Gags Norman Paul, who thinks up the Durante gags, rates this item as one of Jimmy's great laugh -getters. The sweetest guy in show business was describing the celebrities at the opening of the opera in New York. "Lady Mendl," began Jinnny, "wore a diamond tiara in her hair: Mrs. Vanderbilt a ruby tiara, but all eyes were on me," "What dis you have on your head?" asked Don Arneche. "Popcorn," replied ,Timmy. "Some guy in the balcony had a leaky bag." Paul Henning, who writes the Burns & Allen show, said their best laugh maker never got on the air. Afraid of censorship, they snipped it off the tape. Gracie was at a costumer's looking for masquerade suits for herself and George when she noticed an interesting out- fit. "That .cowboy suit hanging there might lank good .on George." The costumer says, "That's from the picture, The Outlaw, and I can give you, Gracie, the costume Sane Russell wore." "Oh no, thank you," said Gracie. "I could never fill Jane Russell's shoes."

He could take off after a rabbit without a sec- ond thought, or have a friendly. early morning frolic with Lassie across the way..Btit not any more - at least not if he lives on a farm anywhere near, a busy highway. Conditions for dog - living have changed just as they have for humans, but unfortu. nately many a dog doesn't know it. He goes after his rabbit as usual. If the rabbit runs across' ,the road the dog runs too, His one aim and object the pursuit of the rabbit. Too often that is his undoing. It isn't the rabbit that gets killed but the dog by a passing oar. That evident- ly happened at our gateway yes- terday — but not to either of our clogs, thank goodness — al- though the little dog that was. killed was very much like our Honey, When Dee and Art drove in they • thought it was Honey, but Honey, by her own instinct, has reached the stage when she knows enough to keep away from the road. There was a time when she loved to run down to the gate, retrieve the evening newspaper and bring it home, Now she never goes after it un- less 1 ane with her. Tippy, too, keeps well within bounds as, with rheurnatism in one leg, she' .seems to realize she isn't as fleet of foot as she used to be, If only someone could perfect a breed of dog — and cat — that would be content to stay right around the farm buildings I Take a drive along the highway almost any day of the week and one is prac- tically certain to come across a mangled dog or cat. And how one hates to see it. Not only has somebody's pet been killed but the motoring public has been ' endangered by its presence on the road. A dog runs out from a ditch; the motorist swerves to avoid it -- as a result it is some - tunes the motorist and not the dog who gets killed, I- don't think 1 would like having a puppy to train these days — too much responsibility. 'involving both man and beast. Well, neither Partner nor I got down to the Royal Winter Fair. I had been looking forward to it for some time but we just couldn't make the grade. But -I notice Halton County did pretty well without the moral support of our presence. The Wheat - King's Crown. and the Queen's Guineas both coming to Halton Exhibitors made us feel very proud of our little county,,-- even though we still have a soft spot in our hearts for Western exhib. itors, The first prize pumpkin also came from Halton and no doubt therm Wore numerous awards for pedigreed cattle — only we haven't got around to studying the prize list yet • What with championship wiar nors, a n d other outstanding awards in 'agriculture, plus the glowing write-up the Financial Post gave our County ton of Milton just recently, we really feel as if Halton is on the map. So often, in the past, when ask- ed for our address I have been met with a blank star after hav- ing said "Milton", But I think, that day will soon be gone for- ever, especially when Highway 401 goes through, As to that, we are beginning to wonder if it ever will! With so many costly bridges to rebuild how can the Highway Department get around to straight construction jobs? Hurricane hazel will make her- self felt for many months to oome; We had a busy time on our farm last week. Among other things the ploughing was finish- ed, a veal calf shipped, the last lot of coal delivered (we hope) and a celebration for Partner's birthday. Then on Sunday we had a visitor for dinner, Hardly had he gone when Dee, Art, Dave, Sov and Bob all arrived about the same time. Ten min. utes later along came friends from Oakville. They all stayed for supper. Dave was put into rompers and explored the house — on his hande and knees. We hastily rounded up waste -paper baskets, ashtrays from low table and the latest magazines. Where ever Dave went the dogs follow ed but 1Vlitchie-White kept welt out ot his way, Once, while stand ing al. the coffee table Dave toot two or three steps by himsel..r but he didn't realize he liar achieved such a breath-takint accomplishment! However suppose it went be long no's before he takes to the perpen dieular way of life. And theu. before we know it, his baby day Will be left behind. Anybody got a Christmas oae has in bloom? Mine is loader down with buds. I am keepint it in a cool place, trying to re tard growth until Christmas. Bul I am afraid in spite of all l can de it will come to full biome ahead of time. One of these timet. I hope to get around t0 countiiy the buds, And that will be quite a job. MERRY MENAGERIE "There they go again—still try- ing to prove they can swing rirclea a.rmmd me'" Taking ft All in — Like many another parent, Queen Juliana, of The Netherlands, right, eavesdrops as her daughters tell Santa Claus what they'd like for Christmas. Princess Margariet, with plaid scarf, looks on as her sister, Princess Marilke, shakes hands with 5t. Nicholas. Behind the queen is Trygve Lie, former .UN secretary general, who also turned out to greet St. Nicholas on his arrival in Amsterdam. Another will break ( t5 That's what is happeiLing right now and 'round the clock somewhere in Canada. In the average year, the insurance business handles more than $75 million in fire losses—quite aside from other claims. It is the size of the loss figure which regulates the rates for every different type of fire, automobile and casualty insurance in various parts of Canada. If losses increase out of proportion to earnings, then insurance rates go up. On the other hand., if losses fall off, rates decrease, In effect, Canadians collectively determine their insurance costs through their care or carelessness, - ALL.
