The Seaforth News, 1952-11-20, Page 6The cry for help that one mother voices today is magnified by thousands of parents of girls. How can they explain t h e dangers of indiscriminate pet- ting, and not be thought spoil - sports" I quote: "My 11i -year old girl goes to dances and some boy walks h e r hone. I've al- ways encour- aged her to ask them in . , , The first night they're here on go the dim light.. and she scarf her petting. The boys. seldom date her long, When they do, they want to take her to open. air them rely. "I've tried to talk to her. She only says, 'Son find fault with everything 1 de. And then days, even weeks, pas;; with her hardly speaking. I've had her Dad rea- son with her. She gives hint a smart answer. and then doesn't talk to hint either." "WHAT CAN WE DO?" "We are both heart -broken, but we don't know of a thing to do. "I will show her your answ•en o she will know what other people think --- and you don't have to pull any punches when you give• it, either. What opin- ion have. these boys of her? , 1 read your articles' every week. 1 just can't talk this over with my friends. I don't want any- one to know what we're going through!" • It is normal that young boys and girls are attracted to each " other.

But the emotional, headstrong girl is apt to go overboard. - * She becomes a little prairie " bower, hourly a little wilder. • Boys have a swell time with " her; she is a GOOD SPORT " spelled in capital letters.

She'll be old to boys " in their twenties, who are * planning their future. News about her has got around. One young man mentions his * date with her; and with a frankness and recitative hon- esty, they discuss their respee * tive., evenings. Before she " knows it, site has a reputation --one which is a serious thing for a young girl to be saddled "' with, It soon reaches more mature ears. Unfortunately, i' older women (particularly boys' mothers) are likely to be the least charitable people " when the subject of their sons' '• girl friends is concerned, A girl's good times can be spoil- ` ed for years by that first ill- s considered fling. 01 course. what she looks • forward to is marriage. When these boys she's petted with are ready to settle down, which gii'( do they choose to • * be the lady of the house, to • `- present proudly to their bust- s /less associates, their college ''' chums? Nat the girl with whom • those men have had petting • parties, not thr' girl who was a " good fellow with the whole '' crowd. They'd rather introduce as their wives the girls that all • the boys tried to pet with, and " couldn't. There is no harm itt judi- • cious petting, as this girl today • probably reminds her mother. It is knowing when to stop, r' that matters. And it is the girl e' who leads a boy on, whom they resent especially. Better to of- * fer a few coolish goodnight " kisses—with the understanding that's all there is—than to in- dulge in a prolonged petting * party in a car, and finding " one's self sputteringly angry * when stumbling home alone. s A man respects a girl for play- * ing fair. But to be deliberately * provocative and suddenly turn " the cold shoulder only results • in a deep-rooted grudge. • A light heart is a grand an- "' tidote for the headier passions. " A girl can laugh of a number • of advances better than she can " argue them away. and keep a • getter spirit all around. Petting is 0 commodity in ' which there will never be a shortage. Is's the average girl who permits it, the rare one " who doesn't. Knowing this, why not make yourself a col- " lector's item, rather than a bar- • gain -counter• unit? " The girl who didn t kiss the e first boy who asked her. who '' refused to indulge in heavy " petting, is the girl who will find on her doorstep, one bright * morning, the best matrimonial * bet in her little world. TO " A BROKEN-HEARTED ▪ 14TOTHER": What a pity that "' an 18 -year-old girl must learn the hard way! If, instead of • resenting your counsel, she • would realize 'hat you are try- '' in:; to make her more popular with the right young men! s Show her this opinion today, " and say that if she'd like to write me, 1 shall be happy to have her letter. • I have this to add: ft may be accepted in your commun- ity- that unaccompanied girls attend public dances.. It is not • accepted everywhere --for one " reason, the girls may appear s- "fair game." It may be that the sort of boys your daughter • meets there think ao too. Any girl can offer petting to a new boy friend. /Why not be different? It does not pay to cheapen oneself, as many a fool- ish girl has found out ...

Old Jeb Sawyer of Eastport, for instance, was still working eight hours a day at the fishing wharf when he reached his hundredth birthday. The company thought it high time he retired on a pension, but Sawyer didn't like the idea at all.

Before the first sick cow was better every cow in the stable developed digestive trouble. We think it was some kind of weed they got hold of in the back pasture, as the young cattle, on different pasture, were not affected. The vet came along and gave each animal an injec- tion in the shoulder, to be fol- lowed by tablets as a drench every four hours. For fourteen cows ! Remember what I was saying about this drenching bus- iness last week? We struggled with five for one dose. By that time Partner was played out. Thinking that living cows and possibly a dead farmer wouldn't get us very far we decided to give up the fight. So, instead of giving the medicine as a drench we crushed up the tablets and mixed them in with the chop and bran, hoping the trick . would work, It did. In three days the trouble was cleaned up. But we didn't take a chance on letting the cows out to pasture. How- ever, the cows had other ideas when they were left to them- selves, It happened on Sunday. We had been invited to mid-day duck -dinner at a neighbour's. We left about 12.30, The cows were in the barnyard, bawling lustily at being kept in. We were away less than two hours but that was long enough for the cows to somehow loosen the chain on the gate and get to the alfalfa field. How they ever got that gate open we shall never know —must be regularbovine Boyds. However they couldn't have been out veru long when we came home, iso their freedom was short-lived. They were 'soon protesting noisly from the barn- yard again. I have said more than once in this column that cows apparently have some !rind of uncanny intuition which tells them when it is Sunday, and when they are left alone. Last Sunday was just one more proof of cows, I would like to pass along a hint that may help some - of that statement. Before we leave the subject one, sometime. Veternarians often leave you with big medi- cinal , tablets that will neither crush nor dissolve, The ones we were given last week were sup- posed to crush quite easily. Easily ! 1 I tried a fork, a roller, a knife—and even a hammer ! They would break but were too soft to crush. In desperation I tried the meat chopper. It was the very thing — although even the chopper got plugged before I had my 84 tablet dose ground up, so I was glad when Partner came along to help with the job. So there you have it, friends. Perhaps you know a better way, if not I hope passing the word along will save someone a lot of grief. But I wonder if anyone would be as willing to try this little LOGY, LISTLESS, MfgUT OF Ltl'`VE WITH LIFE? Then wake up your liver bile jump out of hod rarin' to go Life not worth living?

ISSUE 47 -.- 1962 stunt.' Just in case half -expected visitors from Guelph might drop in while we were away I left a note pinned to the side -door for all to see, stating where we were and telling anyone whom it might concent to walk in, make themselves at home, and phone us at the number I gave them. Maybe that sounds like tempting providence but it is our conten- tion that anyone who wants to break in unlawfully 'while we were away would do so, locked doors nothwithstandfng. And in Dur case, insofar as strangers are concerned, Tippy works better than a Yale lock anyway. How- ever, I must admit, locality makes a difference, In more thickly populated areas an open 'house might not be such a good Idea. Speaking of locks --I remember hearing about two famines living in the same neighbourhood. One family had all kinds of beautiful heirloom silver yet the door of their home was never locked. They were always afraid friends might call while they were away and perhaps be in need of a rest. Members of the other family were inclined to be nervous and suspicious. Every outside door in the house was locked before they left it. And yet there were oc- casions when they were sure people had been around in their absence, taking gas from the garage or grain from the barn. It could be, that pranksters, know- ing their nervousness, deliberate- ly put on an act, Suspicious people must find themselves awfully hard to live with—especially if their suspi- cions are unjustified. Country folk have a very definite code of honour among themselves. Dis- trust among neighbours is rare— yet I have known farm folk who would not go to the barn without first locking up the house. It may have been fear of transients. If possessions create so much un- easiness then give me less of this world's goods and greater peace of mind. For the present we don't have too much to worry about anyway ! "Look here," said the doctor, "you're only slightly run down. Go and cheer yourself up at one of these snappy revues, with dancing beauties. It will take your mind off business." "That's just what it won't do," muttered the patient. "I'm an artificial leg manufacturer." oSchool Lunches Need Extra Care As much cure and planning should go into the lunch young- sters take to school as a mother puts into any areal she serves on the dining room table, contends Miss Margaret 11 Smith, director of nutritulion for the Health League of Canada, Furtltermoro,, the box lunch must have eye appeal as well as high food value, "'The noonday lunch should provide one-third of the whole day's requirements of the energy, producing, body-building foods," notes Miss Smith. "This means proteins, minerals and vitamins for growth and repair of body tissues; and carbohydrates or starches, fats and proteins to yield energy for work and play." In ordinary grocery store par- lance, the nutritionist's sugges- tions boil down to these, which are based on Canada's Food Rules: Include about eight ounces of pasteurized white milk, varying this occasionally with butter- milk or pure fruit juices. Use whole grain bread for sandwiches, and see that the fill- ings provide proteins,—meat, fish, cheese, eggs or cottage cheese '(delicious mixed with crushed pineapple). Put in at least one fresh vege- table—raw carrot strips, celery, a whole tomato, or a little salad made with cabbage parsley, green peppers or cooked green beans. For dessert use fresh fruit in place of sweets. An Ideal Food Mild flavor, delicate texture and high nutritional value com- bine to make both our fresh water and salt water fish one of Canada's best menu items, points out Home Economist Edith L. Elliot of the Federal Department of Fisheries, writing for the nu- trition committee of the Health League of Canada, "Too few Canadians fully ap- preciate the possibilities of fish and shell -fish in the diet or enjoy it as often as they might," de- clares Miss Elliot. She goes on to divide fish into two broad classes, the' non -oily or "dry" fish and the oily species. The latter, which include sal- mon, herring, shad, tuna and mackerel, supply about three times as much energy as the non - oily fish. The non -oily group in- cludes bass, catfish, trout, pick - ere!; Bike, perch, cod, flounder, hadcloe'k, halibut, pollick and sole. Nott -oily or "dry" fish, at.. though not so full in flavor or so high in calorie value, are very easily digested. Their connective tissue is gelatinous and breaks down easily in cooking. The water content of fish la high, but the water in the tissues contains soluble protein and minerals —..phosphorous, iron+ copper, magnesium, fluorine and other minerals are present le small amounts; and in the case of oysters, sardines, sprats and smelts the iron and copper are he good supply. 44CN�'dS,dND MINA' S eF �<. ,. / And the RELIEF IS LASTING There's ono thing for the headache r .. the muscular aches and palm; that often accompany a cold .. k INsTANTtNE.

Bite Of An Apple Convlcts Crook - Every dog is allowed one bite. That is the law. But no modern criminal in his right mind will make a meal in any house he enters, unless he demolishes every scrap of food, ' for. a tooth mark might easily give him away. In these days when most men over the age of forty have false teeth—perhaps only one or two —the imprints of a person's en- tire set lie in drawer in his dentist's surgery, and his bite can be used for identification purposes. Recently a man from New Malden was remanded on a charge of murdering Fred- erick Long, who was identified in a fire -ruined but by means of his false teeth. in 1943 a burglar in Belgrade was disturbed on a job, so,thrust some valuables into a sack, threw away the apple he was eating, and escaped. The police found the apple, saw that two teeth were missing, and visited every dentist in the town. One had an impression which fitted exactly, so the man was arrested and served a year In prison. In 1930 a widow at Neuilly, near Paris, Was murdered. A number of suspects were hauled in, and one was found to have bite -marks on one hand which corresponded exactly with vic- tim's mouth, which had only one tooth in the upper and three itt the lower jaw.
