REBELLIOUS DAUGHTER "Dear Anne Hirst: I am only 16, and was looking forward to a fine summer with nothing to. do but fun. But my father has asked me to work in his office part-time, with only two weeks off! I was mad about the whole idea and I told him so, but of course I willdo it. "Last term I studied hard, and I think the family owes me a good time till school starts again. I love my Dad, but I think heis being unreasonable. How do you feel about it? DISGUSTED" * Your letter was far too long * to print, but .from it, I gather * that you are so interested in * your father's business that * when you graduate from col- * lege you hope to take charge * of •its woman's department. * Then why -do you object to * learning what you can dur- * ing this coming summer? * Look ahead. The more you * learn about the business, the * faster you will get ahead in * it. You will be surprised how * much you can pick up even in " half -days new. Your approach * to it now is childish; you are * not being a goad sport. • * I expect that your father * as a boy worked every summer ▪ through with never two weeks off for fun. Remember that, * and be fair; it will show your * respect for his judgment, and * bring you both closer to. each * other. If you are to be part- ., ners some day, that comrade- * ship cannot begin too soon, * * * To Every Girl Who Wants to Be Popular: It isn't the number of boys you date, it is who they are that counts.

We didn't think it could hap- pen — but it did. We got 'water. in our basement that was the light when there was a :three- quarter inch rainfall in -many Ontario districts. I woke up in the --night :and heard a terrific wind driving :rain against the front, of the 'house. From the window I could see floods, every- where' including' the road. Pres- ently I went downstairs, found the sump-putnp working all right and only a's'mall trickle of water across the floor. I thought there wasn't too much to worry about and went ;back to bedwithout waking Partner. About five o'clock he was awake and down- stairs and by that. time it was a different story. Water was com- ing in at several places. Worse than that the sump -pump wasn't ' operating. properly. We couldn't take.a chance on that quitting -so a plumber was sent for. He put on a new 'switch and then :it was all right. We thought we were lucky not having to buy a new pump. But even that would have been better than a flooded base- ment. However, there was still work to do _ sweeping water away from the furnace and over towards the `drain. Later on Bob came to the rescue, faced a pipe across the floor so there was better drainage. With . that done we were able to sleep in com- fort.:Next morning after listen- ing to the radio and hearing of the flood damage inso many dis- tricts we were ashamed . to feel sorry for ourselves. For instance, one morning at the hairdresser's the entire con- versation was about flooded base- ments — and even of ground floors being under water. At one drugstore eight inches of water at the street Ievel and -six inches in a nearby restaurant. One wo- man said come spring there would be a "For Sale" notice up outside their house. I can't see much point in that. I would say far better to reinforce the walls against flooding. To sell one place and buy another might be jump- ing from the frying pan into the fire — or maybe from a stream into a lake would be a better simile. We may never have a situation like, this again. After all it is only the result of so much frost in the ground there is no natural drainage for the supe r -abundance of surface water. And do you know what? When the rain stopped and the sun came out I went sloshing through the water to get the mail and there, if you please, was a crow strutting around in our backyard and a robin singing lustily from a tree -top. Insolent creatures it might be spring for them but tt wasn't for us. They were both wrong anyway — it wasn't spring for them either. The next day v7^ were back to winter. again. Yesterady afternoon Dee and family came in for a visit. I told her to bring skates for the chllthen as we had plenty of ice. But by the time they got here the ice was covered with snow. Such quick changes — looks as if we can never guess right, Al - 1 ter playing with our toboggan for awhile the boys came into the house and it wasn't long be- fore Jerry provided us with a little excitement. Dee put him into the crib for a nap( we al- ways keep a crib into the spare room). "Fifteen minutes later there was • a terrific thump and then a yell.` Dee rushed into the bedroomand found Jerry on the floor, flat on his tummy.

This morning I was lying. awake thinking about daylight saving time which will soon be with us once again,: And I was thinking what a handicap it is to the farmer and'how little ferenee it makes to anyone else. And because' It 'makes so little difference to town and city folk surely greater consideration could be given to the farmer when you consider the incon- venience he suffers from April to October. Usually he falls in line by putting back the clock but that doesn't dry the dew on the grass. And cows cannot be put out to pasture on wet alfalfa or they'll bloat. Nor can hay be raked or baled until it's dry. That means farmers Tose hours of precious time, day after day, week after week. No one, other than the farmer, takes the least bit of notice. And yet, surely the farmer's work is more important than the office worker's pleasure.. The farmer is having a hard enough time as it is, withhigh production costs and low returns. Prices paid for eggs and market hogs are ridiculously low and many a farmer now faces the necessity — and the expense — of drilling a new well during the coming season.

Blame The Sun For Crime Wave ? Two of the most spectacular sun -spots ever seen from the earth were observed by millions of; people recently. Each spot or "pimple" was about 1019,000 miles in diameter — more than four times bigger than the earth. The white-hot vapours of a sun -spot appear dark only in• contrast to the even greater blate of heat around them. As- tronomers •say that they now know how hot sun -spots . are 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit com- pared with 6,000 in the rest of the sun. Sun -spots are great tornado- like storms within the sun's at- mosphere. Intensive study by scientists of the sun's behaviour shows that these internal hur- ricanes operate in cycles of about eleven years, Some people blame them for bad weather, trade depression, TransCanada Air Lines STEWARDESSES • Aga 20 36 • Singte • Jr Matriculation or 8usines5.. equivalent • Height 92" to 5'7" , • Weight In proportion to height, but not over 130 lbs.
