Now many, many girls who work for a living lose their jobs because of the improper advances of a valued customer, a male co-worker, or even the boss himself! The problem is as old as the history of women hi business and my mail regularly presents its proportion of complaints. Sometimes it is the girls' own fault. They re- gard the busin- ess world as a rich heinting ground for men and deliberately encourage their a ttentious. When the conse- ,uences are unfortunate, it is their own fault. Most grris, however, are the un- willing victims of man's predatory instincts. Read these lines from one young Avon= who is frighten- ed by the persistent attentions of a customer. LICENTIOUS OLD MAN "I work hi a small shop, Anne Hirst," she writes, "and sometimes I'm left alone there. Then what happens, a certain customer (one of our best, a bachelor three times my age) comes in and makes lewd implications. I'd like to tell him off, but I'd be reprimanded harshly and probably fired. "His suggestions are unprint- able. I always ignore his pleas, of course; I abhcr him. He will not take no for an answer. He is a customer, after all, and I cannot be rude or hostile, Besides, he is a large man and robust, and I am physically afraid. "I don't understand how he got the wrong impression of me. I aro an introvert. I do not respond glib- ly to people, and I certainly never encouraged personal conversation. I do not dress ostentatiously, either. "How can I get rid of him? I am frightened and frantic." * Depending upon her employer,'a * girl in such a spot has the choice * of reporting this man's conduct * to her boss. Ile probably will * arrange that she is not left alone * in the place again. * He is in a spot, too. He is loath * to lose a good customer by * warning him that he is going too * far, and the man himself would * be furious, and charge the girl * with having encouraged him, Yet * no decent employer wants any * girl working for hint exposed to * such insults. * If she can get no protection * from hint, she will have to find * another job -and ask that nei- * ther her employer nor the other * girls reveal her whereabouts. * It is one of the tragedies of * human nature that a man in * authority sometimes demands * that a girl employee give her- * self, in addition to her service, 4' in order to keep her position. A * decent girl who must earn her * living is at his mercy, .Her only * protection is to get out -and fast, * To "Very Worried and For- * lora": You may decide to find * another job first, then tell your * employer why. (lou know him, * you must use your judgment.) I * know how outraged you feel and * you have my, sympathy, * To "Resisting": This is your * first position and you must be- * lieve me when I say resign at * once. All employees are not like * this one, so don't be afraid to * seek other work. You are too * inexperienced to handle this low * character. * a; * Girls in business have to learn how to protect themselves. If you face ..an ,embarrassing situation, write Anne Hirst for advice.

FALCONS RETURN The two most fatuous residents of Montreal's towering Sun Life build- ing are a pair of peregrine falcons who for years now have been living rent-free on the high Sun Life ledges, rather than in rocky moun- tainous crags. Noted as fierce fighters, they re- putedly reach 200 nt.p.h, when power diving after their luckless prey, the falcons find the pigeons which abound in the down -town area of Montreal easy pickings. They have not been seen in recent years and it was felt that they had either met with an accident or de- cided to return to the country. Recently, however, the office people have seen them about -their appearance generally punctuated by a dull thud and the sight of a few pigeon feathers floating slowing to the ground.

EISNIMAN litiyAi Acirf I Sre Urani-Yum, Yum -A fearless Texan, ten -,Month-old Dyann Schoneoberg discovered a strange looking something in a nut •bowl. She swallowed it and grew increasingly uncom- fortable, Doctors. rushed her to a hospital and pumped out her stomach. Their report, cle- livered to a startled Mr. and Mrs. Schonenberg, diagnosed the tasty tidbit as a nugget of uranium ore. • Things 'Folks Wished They Hadn't Said Have you ever dropped a hefty brick and wished that the floor would suddenly open and swallow you? Like the- lady who said to her partner at a banquet: "Look at that man sitting opposite. I think he is one of the ugliest Wren I have ever seen. Who is he?" "That's my brother," "Oh, I beg your parden," the lady apologised. "How silly of me not to have noticed the resem- blance!" Mistakes of this kind can often occur through people jumping to premature conclusions. "What a murderous -looking blackguard the prisoner is!" whispered an old Lady in a courtroom to her husband. "That isn't the prisoner," he re- plied. "The prisoner hasn't been brought in yet." "Olt? Then who is it?" "That's the judge." It appears that the ceremonious Orientals are not above marring their politeness by dropping the proverbial brick from a distinctly uncomfortable height. Some British women, visiting Turkey, called on an important Turkish statesman. The host offered them refreshments, including a great variety of sweetmeats, always taking care to give one of the ladies double the quantity he gave to the oth ers. Flattered by this marked atten- tion, she asked, through the inter- preter: "Why do you give me so much snore than the rest?" "Because you have the biggest mouth," was the straightforward reply. Pulpit and pew are not exempt. One Sunday, as a certain minister was returning homeward, he was stopped by one of his churchgoers, who said: "Yon know, I always look forward to the clay when you preach." The minister was aware that he was not very popular and an»wcr- ed: "I'nr so glad to hear it. There are too fete like you. And why do you look forward to my prcach- ing?" "[Why," she replied, with shat- tering innocence,,,"when you preach I always gel a good seat," MONEY DOES NOT make you happy -but it quiets the nerves. -Sheldon Sun: ISSUE 41 - 1950 e v .doll a.e P. Clevace By this tii4lc everyone knows what caused the dint -out on the last Sunday and Monday in September but when I started out to visit a friend yesterday afternoon I had no idea what was happening. Driv- ing along the road was the most weird experience I ever knew. Down this way there was no fog so that the Mountain stood 001 in sharp outline against dark, rolling Clouds merging into subdued shades of blue, purple and reddish-yellow. To the south the sky was fairly light yet' the road before tete was dark and forbidding. It was really spooky ancl, like everyone else, I was driving with lights on. Another queer thing I noticed was that, instead of glass windows, all the houses seemed to have windows of glittering tinfoil, The whole set- up had the apearance of the super- natural and the thought • came to me that it must be a Nemesis on Chairman Saunders and Mayor Mc- . Callum for keeping us on Daylight Saving Timet Certainly there would be no power saved yesterday as it was impossible to do anything in the house without lights on. * * 0 There was a time when I thought our location Isere was ideal -mid- way between Toronto, Hamilton and Guelph. But now I ant not so sure -not when Toronto and Ham- ilton continue on fast time, with this district automatically following suit, although to the north of us towns and cities have reverted to standard time. You people in those districts don't know how lucky you are. Some of tete farmers around here say they . would like to send those two fellows -Messrs. Saun- ders and McCallum -out for the cows in the morning and see how they would like wandering over the fields, peering into the darkness, trying to catch a glimpse of any- thing resembling a cow. And to think such a state of affairs will con- tinue until almost the end of Novem- ber with hardly a soul really in favour of the measure . , . although I am quite sure nearly everyone would take it on the titin if they felt any good were accomplished. As to that we have yet to be con- vinced. Certainly more power will be used in the country on fast time than standard. Oh, well, I suppose we shall live through it and be none the worse - except for a few frayed nerves and temporarily lost cows. There are worse things than that in life - and also, thank goodness, better things to occupy our time and thoughts. Worse things . like the accidental bombing of British troops by American forces - that was too dreadful to think about. Better things . . well, there are a lot of. better things, all the tiure, wherever you live and wherever you look. Apropos of better things, I have read, or heard it said, that you can pretty well size up a per- son by what he or she does in his or her leisure time. That, I believe, is more or less true. Iiow often we hear -"Oh, young Mrs. So-and-so will never amount to any- thing -she spends all her time read- ing paper -back novels!" Or . . "I don't know how Roy puts up with it ... all his wife thinks about is her bridge parties!" Then of course, we have the young husband who spends most of his time in the pool -room -or the beer -parlor and >ROSSWO %, D PUZZLE 01:0S 1. A,.nuunce- men te 4. Ourselves a. Hence 8.

But on the other side of the ledger we have then and women who restrict their social activities to what they can accomplish with- out sacrificing family life and who occupy their spare time with skill and ingenuity -only sometimes it is only the small circle in which they live ,that knows 'of their ac- complishments. This I realized last Thusrday when I • attended a local Hobby Show sponsored by the I.O.D.E. There was l'eathercraft, dolls made from shells, ceramics, needlecraft, rugs,;beautiful pictures in oils, water colors and shell's. Jewellery made of metal; ` wood -carving, model aeroplanes and railways, and an exhibit of articles made by the blind. To add to the attraction a well- known florist gave a dentonstation on flower arrangements that was fascinating to watch. What intrigued me was her foundation -not a pin - bowl to hold the flower stalks, but evergreens. Just common or gar- den evergreens -cedar and balsam -which she crushed in her hand and pressed firmly down into the bowl. Into this mass of green she later pushed her flower sterns. By this, she explained, flowers could be placed at any angle -and stay put. You night like to try it sometime. So that was the Hobby Show -but to me it as not so much an exhibit of hobbies as a demonstration of what can be done in a person's spare time. - DISHPAN HANDS A British firm developed for in- dustrial war use creams to protect hands from dirt, oils, acids, dye- stuffs and grease. After using the cream the hands could easily be washed clean. British housewives are now using two of these creams -one fat dry, one for wet work. The creams dry on the hands and remain unnoticed until the work is finished. They are equally effective for men who do dirty work. Experience is what enables you to recognise a mistake whenever you make it again.
