When he's out of work, I get a blessing- out every Saturday for paying what we owe that week and buying groceries—instead of giving the money to him. (He has left the house with $50 and come house without a cent.) "Lately, a woman has been call- ing him at hone. He makes an excuse and leaves the house. How Long? "Last week I told him I still loved him, and wanted him to straighten out. But I couldn't rea- son with hint at all. "Now I'm at my wits' end, I can hardly do my work. Can you advise me?

TRUTHFUL GEORGE By Allan M. Laing. George Washington St. Xavier Scadd 'Was far too truthful for a lad: He viewed with innocent surprise A world of comfort built on lies And he declared he'd do his best To put the truth to every test. His parents, horrified, said "Nol Please spare the world this horrid blow." But since he would not hear their plea And blurted truth with )torrid glee, They took his great ancestor's axe And laid him lou with forty whacks.

HRO ICLES INGERFARDI R Gw¢ttidolir e P Cte;eke The 1952 Royal Winter Fair is many months away, And yet there is every reason for us to be think- ing about it right now — at least if we can rely ou the subject smat- ter of an editorial in the FARM- ER'S ADVOCATE and CAN- ADIAN COUNTRYMAN — Feb- ruary 23. This editorial states quite openly that a movement is on foot to have the "Royal" open for busi- ness on Sunday — that is ,the Sun- day that conies midway during the time the Fair is on. The editorial is quite obviously against it and won- ders what attitude we farmers will take its the matter. What, indeed! This is a matter that should be discussed by farm groups and ag- ricultural organizations from. one end of the province to the other. The "Royal" is our fair. It was organized primarily in the interest of agriculture. Do We want it cheapened and used as one more means of creating an open Sun- day? We know there are quite a num- ber of farmers, mostly fruit and nmarket gardeners, who seem to think it necessary to work on the Sabbath, but the majority of farm- ers still regard Sunday as a day of rest — insofar as it can be where winter chores are almost an all - day job. 1 have spoken to several people about this subject and not one has been in favour of having the "Roy- al" -open for business on Sunday, The nearest to it was one man who said he would like to see the Fair open, but not for business. That is to say, an admission fee 'could be charged and people allowed to go through the barns ,the horse palace and the flower show, but no judging or show ring events should be allowed. And definitely no com- mercial side shows — which, after all, are merely an attraction to peo- ple who are not in the least inter- ested in farm animals or farming operations. 'There is also another way of looking at it ... suppose the Royal were to open on Sundays. It would just be time thin edge of the wedge. If the Royal stayed open then there would be a clammering from some quarters to have the Canadi- an Exhibition stay open on Sun- days — which heaven forbid. And if time Exhibition stayed open there would be other places of amuse- ment that would think they should do likewise. Very soon there would he more commercialized anmusenent on Sunday than on any day of the week, Apparently the idea of keeping the Royal open on Sundays has been tentatively suggested as a means of making more stoney ..._ according to the editorial it "night mean the difference between sur- plus and deficit." And does the management think any good would come. of it new venture which de- liberately and publicly flouts the fourth commandment? Dear knows, many of us are guilty enough in that respect, but at least it remains a personal matter. If the Royal is not paying its way why not have it stay open the whole two weeks — Sundays ex- cepted? Or raise the admission fee. People who are really anxious to go would probably pay an extra 25 cents as easily as not. Rather hard on a big family, of course, but then children could be taught that if they want to go to the Big Fair tltey utust save their pocket money and pay their own way. Too often, with easy indolence, we farm people sit back and let changes take place to which we are actually opposed. Too late we re- alize we could have stopped any given change had we really tried. itt regard to the Royal Winter Fair we have been given plenty of time to think about it. I hope farm folk all over the province will snake their voices heard. To make this possible the matter should be dis- cussed by all farm organizations at their regular meetings. If the ma- jority of members are against an open Sunday at the Royal, then a resolution should be properly drawn up, signed by the mover and seconder, and by the president and secretary, and have a copy of the resolution sent to the Board of Directors of the Royal \Winter Fair, and also one to the Minister of Agriculture, the honourable T, L. Kennedy. Let agriculture raise its voice in protest in this matter which is of such vital importance to itself. Don't let this be one more occa- sion for saying too little — and saying„ that little too late. But maybe I ant saying too much — and saying that much, too soon) What do our readers think? • "Fuzzy" Sweaters Can Be Dangerous For safety's sake stay away from lire if you're wearing a ",tizzy" sweater. This information was divulged after an investigation into the "exploding" sweaters, by L, A. Bradley, textile chemist. Yarn used in this fabric, he pointed out, is not in itself dan- gerous. But he believes any swea- ter with a thick, brushed nap will burn rapidly. High flammability of such sweaters is due to the loose wease of the cloth, approxi- mately 40 threads to the square inch, and brushed nap not to an explosive finishing chemical. Head of the research depart- ments of the American institute of laut.dering expressed his opin- ion that any sweater with such a loose weave and brushed nap would burn- as rapidly. He believes it tnalces no difference whether the cloth were viscose, or cello• lose acetate rayon. IINDAYS01001, JSSON By Rev. R. B. Warren, B.A., B.D, Timothy, A Dependable Follower (Temperance Lesson) A'eks 1611.3; Philippians 2119-24; 2 Timothy 211_5, MemorySelection) Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in work, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity, 1 Timothy 4;12. On Paul's first visit to Lyatra, its Asia Minor, he was stoned, drawn out of the city and left for dead. But as the troubled deciples stood around, he rose tip. To some it may have seemed that his mission there was a failure. But when he returned to Lystra on his next miss sionary journey there was a young disciple, Timothy, ready to tees company hint in spreading the gos- pel. Timothy's mother Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, were women of unfeigned faith. They were Jewish. His father was a Greek. In the second lesson portion Paul is writing front Rome during his first imprisonment. He pro- poses to send to Philippi, Timothy, who had ministered there with Paul itt the beginning. From Paul's words we can see that Timothy was truly a minister. He was not out for hitnself, ; The final lesson portion is from Paul's last letter written shortly before his execution, He urges Timothy to endure hardness, keep free from the entanglements of secular affairs and fight the good fight in Christian manner. Church history assures us that Timothy, who in youth became a worthy example of believers, continued so to the end. How different his life would have been had her as so many of our youth today, became enslaved to strong drink. Thank God he didn't. "Alcoholism is a disease. That Is perfectly true, but no one ever contracts the disease who does not drink alcohol." Hints On Caring For Cut Flowers Unpack flowers as soon as they arrive. Cut stems diagonally with a sharp knife to remove dried cells and permit the flowers to drink freely. "Harden" them by plunging them into a deep bucket of cold water and leaving them in a dark room for two or three hours before ar- ranging. Keep thetn away from draughts, direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. Add fresh water daily and recut stens whenever flowers seem to tire, Arrange them so that colors, shapes and sizes are in harmony with the container and the whole arrangement is in harmony with the room. If you would have the nuptial union last, let virtue be the bond that ties it- fast. —Nicholas Rowe. NO WONDER The C.O. of a certain Comntattm. do unit was a stickler for di@eipo lice, In the very early hours one winter's morning, he dashed into one of the huts, routed out the men from their beets and lined them up, two deep, He went tip to one of the mala, ie the front rank and punched Nitta violently in the stomach. "Did that hurt?" he barked, "I1to, sir." "Why not?" asked the CO. "I'm a Commando, sir." The C.O. walked a little furthee down the line, stopped before mt second man, Lifted his foot and kicked him smartly on the shin. Again he asked, "Did that hurt?" "No, sir." "Why trot?" "I'm a Commando, sir," Almost at the end of the line, the C.O. caught sight of a man with a pair of very large feet aud, march- iug up to him, he stamped violent. 13, on his toes. "Did that hurt?" "No sir," "Why not?" "They belong to the man in the rear rank, sirl" RELIEF IS LASTING There's one thing that brings really fast relief from the discomfort:., the headache ..1: the muscular aches and pains that often accompany a cold .
