FICKLE GIRL? * Girls and young sten some- * times share the same reactions, * You have read how often I've * warned girls not to be too easy * to get, to let the boy friend earu * friendship and love against all * competition. * It works both ways. It may be this girl is by nature 4' fickle, She wants only to try * her skill. \\fben you followed her obvious lead and proposed, * it is possible that she was no bon- a` ger interested. If that is true, * site only desired the fun of win- * Mag. And, like many a Hiatt, * haying won, she was through. * Like most Wren in love, you * made no secret of your devotion. * You did everything she asked you * to do - took her places she 4' wanted to go, brought her gifts, * smothered her with attention. If * she is really fickle, that was all * she wanted - the knowledge that * she could have you. * Lrnlcss you know any other * reason she 'has changed her mind, * I suggest you give her the same * medicine. * Don't call her. Don't write. * Just stay away. And, to be real- ly smart, let tier sec you with * another girl now and then. If * her true attitude is dog -in -the- * manger, she will be after you * soon enough. * It is not easy to play such a * role when one is realty in love, * particularly with a girl 28 years * old. Her character should he ` ed now. Alost mets would be pretty * thoroughly disgusted with her * adolescent antics, Yet, to be hon- * est, I have known girls that ac- * ted tike congenital flirts who, * once married, ;Bede excellent * wives. * Use your own judgment, * * The way of a girl with a man is often beyond understanding, Anne Hirst knows more about both sexes than either can know of themselves - so ask for her opillion.

Atoms and molecules play a prominent part in today's -and to- morrow's --news, and to the lay- man they represent an exclusive source of delight -to the scientist. Some idea of the size of a mole- cule can be gauged from the fact that if a drop of water could be enlarged to the size of the earth (nearly 8,000 miles diameter), then the molecules of which the drop was composed would be no larger than golf halls. And if a molecule could 1,0 en- larged to the size of the earth its atoms would be about the size of golf balls, "You cause from a teetotal vil- lage, didn't you;" "Teetotal: Why, they wu n't even let the earpentem, use spirit levels."

Bees That Are Cultivated Just For Stinging People In a quiet street in North don there is a house which by looks little different from any o neighbours. But at night one of curtained windows is always d What goes on inside that r where the blinds are never dr and the windows never opened hundred inspired guesses w bring you nowhere near the tr It is a beehive. In that room nine of the 20 million bees ow by one of the biggest bee -keeper the country. They are not ordinary bees, T don't make honey. Their grea value is in their least attract quality - their sting. Every day, sonletintes twice a Ales, Joan Owen, who has euld ted this mammoth hive, enters darkened room and catches ab one hundred of the bees that swa on the cork - lined walls or b through the specially cooled air. S puts them into email glass jars. Their Last Act They /cave the room with 0113 few more hours to live, But bel they die they will have helped relieve pain by stinging suffer front rheumatism, arthritis, fibre.fibre.tis, and neuritis. These glass jars are all that tl small, grey' -haired woman in h early forties, a doctor in her nazi Hungary, takes on her strap "rounds," :tars. Owen, one of a large faini of doctors, learnt about the bees a clinic run by her grendfath Shortly before the war she start to breed trent in Great Britain. S is now established as what is pc haps the first and only Bee Veno Therapist in England. There may be some controver in the orthodox medical world abo the value of Bee Venom Tlterap and not all the results of this tree stent may' be as successful as tbu have been for Mr, James Cha Mrs. of Dartford. With rs. Owe and twelve jars of bees a reparte trent to visit this star patient. Her in his story as he told it, Now He Walks Since 1942, when at the age of 4 he first developed osteo - arthritis Aft, Charman has consulted more than ten doctors, attended six hos- pitals, and had eleven different kinds of treatment. At first only Ids left knee was affected, but before he began the bee treatment last November he was practically bed- ridden and in great pain, When I saw hint he was walking rcund his garden with the airs of a stick, On being asked about the bee stings, and he showed the diary he has kept thrcuhout itis treat- ment. He had his first sings on N'ot•ember 21st, 1949, "Five stings across the should - ars," reads the diary. "Not very painful."" .And then, a weelr later,, when he had lied a feta stings each day: "Woke feeling rotten, g1cn til day, sweating and shivering. Se- ven slings on right foot and three on right shoulder," Mr. Charman felt "rotten" for nearly a week. Then, after an in- rreasing number of stings each day, Ile noted in his diary on December 7111 a slight movement in his left foot, He had 1101 been able to move it for nearly a year. Altogether lie has had LP er 2.000 stings. He stated that in the early sessions they did not hurt much, but that as soon as he started to feel better each treatment became more painful. The reporter felt how a sting can hurt even a non-1'heanta'ic when he rashly volunteered to be stung thyself. Mrs, Owen took one of the jars from inside her Mouse,, where they are kept next to her skin to give the bees the warmth from her body, She opened the jar and forceps. Hoiding lifted hitt onhis e with w ist, she waited until his yelp of pain told that the bee had done its work. Ertel) treatment takes is consider- able time. For this reason, and to cover the cost of the upkeep of the bees, the fees are not light.

The other eleven are in Airs. Owen's house in Surrey, where she lives with her husband, a retired naval oflieer, and their !tine -year-old 001, Fitted with an air - conditioning plant and lined with layers of cork, the "living" rooms are kept at a temperature only a few degrees above freezing - point, and the breeding - rooms at 55 degrees Far•. enheit. Secret Handed Down. This is the heat of a normal summer day and it enables the bees to breed all the year round -unlike the honey bee, which only breeds in the early spring. Suspended froto the ceilings of the roosts are zinc cages, each about the size of a small refrigerator, in which the bees five. They feed on a mixture of honey and poison extracted front herbs from Switzerland. The name and necessary quantity of these herbs is a "trade" secret which Mrs. Ow- en did not learn front her grand- father until after his death, when lie left her this knowledge in his will. She herself will reveal it only to her sun in the salve way. But she stakes no secret of the way in which the food is prepared, She takes a quantity of the Herbs -- which, in the form of hay, are fokeptr six months to mature at a temperature of 17 degrees below zero - mixes them with a pint of nater and two pounds of honey and boils thele. "I Do Not Flinch" \fr'lten the mixture has cooled site pours it into a feeding -tube, which bas to be specially made to a length of eight feet to enable her to reach up to the bees' cages. While she is in the bees' room Mrs. Owen sometimes has as many as 1.000 of them crawling over her at a time. But she is never stung tote`s they get into her stair. "They do not sting me because I do not frighten a bee - and when it is frightened it will sting." When asked what happened to any bees left in the jars at the end of the day. "I take then, to bed with Hie," she said. "If I put then; back into the hive they would fight with the others." Mrs. Owen knows that many of her patients are warned by their friends that they are wasting their stoney. This does not worry her, They're "Rogues" "Curing rheumatism by bee stings is looked upon as an old wives' tale," she says. "And so it is -- if you use honey bees. Most people don't, of won't, understand that my bees are not honey bees. Honey bees won't cure anything. The pol- len they gather destroys human tissue. "My bees never leave their rooms, but even if they did they would not gather pollen. They would live on flies and ladybirds, not flowers. They may be 'rogue' bees, but I have a great affection for then," MOST CHURCHES NEED ONE "I got something here that will solve this church's financial troubles."

ISSUE 38 - 1980 ONC LE S 1 GE ahs ni (3'o zt dotine P Cteol e I):Q you manage a trip to the Canadian National Exhibition? I !tope you dirt -and tha t you en- joyed it. Each of us took in the Big fair but all on different days. At one time it us0d to be a family affair but now we find 'it suits us better to play a lode hand as what interests one doesn't 'Merest the other, lncidentaltq, when ‘.e team up we wastes0 much time trying to figure out what we dings the other person would like to to that we get more itred than we aho•.ild do. The first one to visit the Fair was Partner, He went by bus each way and arrived home after mid- night, I expected hint to be half dead , , , but no, he said he had been sitting down a good part of the time, listening to the band and watching events along the water- front and was quite well satisfied with what he had seen and done. Not only that but he didn't have to worry about the farm since the rest of us were home looking after it. Which was lucky because one time a truck came in and the driver left the yard gate wide open when he went out, If I hadn't noticed it there would have been nothing to stop our cows front wandering down to the highway. One wonders what some folk think gates arefor. m - The next day 1 got a ride to Toronto with some friends and went to the Press Luncheon, That is always worthwhile because one meets so many interesting people -and of course, any affair with Airs: Kate .Aitken at the head of it is bound to be a' success. Two very special guests on Press Day were Jimmy Casson, 12, and Robia Barron, 11, co-editors and publi- shers of the Fonthill Bugle. Mrs. Aitken interviewed them at the luncheon table 011d their replies to her questions brought forth gales of laughter front the assembled guests. Asked if coming to the Press luncheon and meeting so many ladies wasn't well worth the trip one of the boys replied -"Olt I dututo . , , maybe!" That just about brought down the house. Their paper has a weekly circula- tion of 230 and is printed on a ditto machine. The boys take it turn about to cover the news, sports and advertising but they "don't have no editorials!" One -wonders what is ahead for these two enterprising youngsters. To all appearances they are just two nice, average school- boys -hut -you never can tell. Twenty years from now they may be the men of the hour. Previous to the lunch my friend and I set out to find Queen Mary's carpet. I hope none of you ladies missed it, It was really marvellous. The blending of the colours was truly a work of art. At first, in look- ing at it, I was conscious of a little disappointment because the back- ground of the carpet was by no means uniform in colour -one block being light fawn and the next several shades darner. Then I realized I was looking at a piece of u'onk that was typical of the ' entire British people during those dark days of the tsar a people making the best of what they had and still doing a mighty good job. * * 5 Imagine anyone with such a good eye for colour as Queen Mary having, to be. satisfied with wool that didn't match for the back- ground of her work, How many other women would have given up in despair? You and I would prob- ably have said -"It's no use .. .t I can't get the wool 1 want so it's no good starting the job," But not Queen Mary, And see what she has accomplished, anti see what her carpet is still doing for the British people. That unmatched background should go down in his- tory as a symbol of the Queeat Mother's courage and tenacity; of her deternlin,tion to do sontething to 'help the people sire to"es. Another tlhing 1 specially wanted to see was a demonstration of the Rorke 010112(11 of Needle -weaving. Ladles, believe ole, that is really. sontething.
