"Dear Anne Hirst; My sweet- heart was ordered overseas last fall, and wanted us to get mar. r';d before be left. We bought t' a ring; and made arrange- n nts with our pastor, Then he calledup and said to forget it --ha couldn't get enough time • "Just two weeks ago I had a let:or from abroad, and he wits to break our engagement! (His letters had become more sc:ree but T didn't worry). I told his family, and they wouldn't believe it, Because my parents had been helping us so generously with our plans, I can't bear them to know this. I wrote him at once, asking if there was another girl.He re- plied 'No' — but what could I do if there 'were? "So it sounds like there is somebody else. "I simply can't let him go, Anne H i r s t, I love him too much. I haven't looked at an- other man since • we got en. gaged. I would do anything to get him back, but if 1 admit we're through everybody will make fun of me. Yet should I give him ` up? BROKEN-HEARTED" HE GAVE YOU UP * I am afraid you must face * the cruel truth: It is not a * question of giving up the * young man, it is he who has * broken the engagement. Tell * your parents and your pastor * immediately; they will be * shocked, but not at you, at * him. They will help you * through, * Why admit to friends that * you've been jilted? Simply * say you have changed your * mind and would rather not * talk about it.. Whether there is another * girl involved or not, there is * no getting the lad back. He * had made up his mind. Now * call on your self-respect, and * hold your head high• Look up * boys you used to know and * date them; whether ,you want * to or not, it will soothe your * hurt feelings and restore you: * self-confidence. * I am sorry. I know how im- * possible it seems to change * your plans for the future you * hoped to spend with him. But * your attitude now will show * what you are, a girl of char- * atter who shows the rest of * her world how a lady behaves * under stress. * * * "DOES HE LOVE ME?" "Dear Anne H i r s t: I have only one problem: Does the boy I love care for me or not? I Smart Daytimer PRINTED PATTERN 4750 SIZES 12-20 40-42 Daly time success!

One night he admitted he was the 'nearest to marriage' he'd ever been, but I've heard other boys say things like that and not mean a thing. "He only sees me once a week, because he goes to night school regularly. His father died last year, and he has a mother and sister to look after; He is bashful but he's the set- tled type, too. If he Is too shy to ask me, how can I let him know how I love ]rim?

The surest way to em- * barrass him would be to show * your affection.

It will keep you bet- * ter balanced emotionally, and * make you a more interesting * companion to this lad as well. * * * If your heart is breaking, keep it to yourself.

Blasting Caps Can Be Dangerous Few places are more danger- ous playgrounds for children than construction sites, That's the advice of police and fire de- partment representatives who have taken time out to visit schools to promote safe play habits. Children can pick up a handful of trouble at building project sites. Take blasting caps for in- stance. Blasting caps are essen- tial tools in much construction work but when mishandled by children, who could mistake them for firecrackers or empty rifle cartridges, these innocent -look- ing cylinders can cause serious injuries. Officials advise children to stay away from places where build- ing is going on — an organized playground has much safer fun to offer. However, if a stray blasting cap should be found, children are told to keep "hands off". There are two main types of blasting caps: non -electric for use with safety fuse, and those set oft electrically. The type for use with safety fuse is about 11/4 inches long and about the thickness of a pencil. It has one open end and is made of aluminum. Electric blasting cap shells are made of either copper or aluminum and may vary from one to five inches in length. They have two colored wires attached. Open flame, shock, friction, undue heat or rough handling can cause detonation of these caps. The police or some other authority who can dispose of the blasting cap safely should be notified immediately one is found. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. When someone whom you have just met says, "I am so glad to have met you," .isn't a smile in acknowledgement suf- ficient? A. No; this would seem to have a condescending air about 'it. It is much better to accom- pany . the smile with a "thank you." Q. When a man is in the eh, vator of an office building, and .a . woman acquaintance enters; "should he remove his hat? A. He should lift his hat In greeting, but etiquette does not require that he remove his hal in a business elevator, Q. Does a person really have to give a reason for declining an inVitatilon? A. T his would seem much better than an .abrupt "no." If one were merely to say, "No, I can't come," it would indicate a lack of appreciation of the in- vitation, and even an unwilling. ness to continue the friendship. IT'S NOTHIN', DAD — From the look's` of things, Clifford Edwards .- is far more Eoncerned about his,3-year-old daughter's two- storey fall than she Is.'Two black eyes and o bandaged head aren't enough to prevent little Kathleen from smiling cheer- fully. She heer-fully.She fell from the window of her home. If you are not interested in dogs you hadn't better bother to read my column today. If you are then you will at least tolerate it. You see, one night last week we had 'unexpected . callers — the people . from whom we bought our Welsh Corgi—Taffy. And I am sure Taffy knew them • —he nearly went wild with ex- citement. Personally I don't be- lieve a dog ever forgets people he has known for any length of time. Mrs. T. knelt on the floor and watched Taffy as he ran from one of the other. "Isn't he beautiful!" she exclaim- ed, "and so exactly like his fa- ther !" We couldn't help being amused — it always strikes us as funny the attitude dog breeders take towards the dogs they have raised. We -like our Taffy but there was sheer adoration in Mrs. T's eyes as she watched him. We know other dog breeders who act the same way. Mrs. M. who ' raises German Shepherds; Phyl- lis F. and her Irish setters—all of them prize:winning show dogs. Mrs. T. thought our Taffy should be shown too. Well,'. he may have all the necessary qualifications but I told her showing him is the last thing I would ever want to do. I just couldn't be bothered. But I told her if she wanted - to take on the job it was all right with me. So that's the way we left it. In the meantime Taffy is leading a normal dog's life. He is having a wonderful time now the snow has gone, just chasing around in his pen, trying to get at the cat who teases him by staying on the outside of the ' fence, He , is getting more intelligent all the time. Inside our back door, six steps go down to the basement and six steps go up to the kit- chen.Taffy always waits to see which way we want him to go— and that depends upon whether he is clean or dirty — that, too, depends on the weather. Isnt this a grand time for hockey fans? Who would have thought a couple et months ago that the Maple Leafs would climb out of the cellar ano make the play-offs? So far they haven't done too well against Montreal — as 1 write ;the score is 2-0 in the finals. put you never know the Leafs night come through yet. It is going to be a wonderfully thrilling series anyway no mat- ter which team you and 1 hope will win. But for sheer ,ex- ritement 1 thought the 'last game between Toronto and Boston was really tops. Both Partner and I love to watch hockey, - 1 have even been arranging my social activities so as not to conflict with hockey, ni�rlts, Even `so I 'manage: to wr • k in the annual meeting at th • W 1., a quilting at the W.A. and n few hours at the Hon'o m•it''s Show in Toronto,• If you want any special informa- tion about anything connected with home building or home rurnishings it is a good place to go, otherwise it is pretty much the same one year to an.- other. n-other. Of course the Federal budget was another highlight last week, Naturally no one likes the increase in taxation but I guess most people realize that we can't have social security and the services we demand with- out paying for them. We expect our township taxes will also be higher as we are expecting wa- ter mains to be laid in the not too distant future. Surveying has already been done. According to present indica- tions this is going to be a year of great activity. Tree -cutting is already in progress at Gin- ger Farm to make room for the cloverleaf. Our lovely trees it is almost heartbreaking to think of them being levelled to the ground. In all the years we were on the farm Partner would never cut down; a living tree, no matter how badly we needed firewood. The trees were also protected when hydro wires were first strung along the road. At that time hydro poles were placed well inside our front field instead' of on the road allowance so as not to disturb the trees. Now, at last, they have all been sacri- ficed. The same thing is hap. pening in many places along - the Queen E. in preparation for widening the highway, and also along the Dundas. One thing around here has surprised us very much. We thought when Avro folded up many houses would be for sale and the owners be forced to take . a loss. Also that the houses would be hard to sell. Well, there are houses on the market all right but they are selling like hot cakes: Houses that have been for sale for some time have now been sold. Two houses near us had been listed only two weeks when they were sold. We can't un- derstand it but there it is. Well, we have a dog kennel that Taffy won't use, maybe we can make a deal on that! Any of- fers? Our newest grandson war here today . a'month old and he was actually .smiling. His name by the way is. "Cedric Davidson" — the second name,. is after his maternal grand.' mother's family. Cedric has gained .two pounds in weight. already: He is really a lovely baby. The scene in the film was a -tense one, and the audience sat enthralled, Suddenly the hero slapped the heroine in the face In the silence that followed, a young voice piped upl "Why doesn't she hit back like you do, Mummy?" ISSUE 19 - 1909 Costly Penalty For' Cheap Crime A meal, a few drinks, a wan der round the town, then return to camp. That was the innocent intention of three young British soldiers on leave in Kure, Japan, in January, 1954, at the end of the Korean war, But they lost control, got drunk on rum in a dive, became aggressive, and were flung out by two leering Saps. Inflamed by the liquor and the need to be revenged on someone for the rough handling, they saw a prostitute, and, after arguing the matter, decided to ' attack and rob her. As she tried todart off they jumped on her, Signalman Graham ,Nicholls found a broken brick in his hand and crashed it down on her head. She dropped in a huddle, moan- ing, then began shrieking, "M.P.! M.P.! Thieves!" He grabbed money from her bag andthe three made off. The other two Were William Dreslin, from Dublin, and William Mclieragh- an, from Glasgow. It was a senseless crime for 'a paltry 800 yen—$2,00: And it had grave results. For the .Taps now had the right to try and punish' .British servicemen for crimes committed outside their bases. Interrogation in barracks focussed on the three men as .suspects. Blood-stained trousers were found under Nicholls's bed. He pleaded that he, had cut 'him- self in a fall, some time' previous- ly, and the 'cut had healed.' But there was evidence enough to justify handling the menover to the Japanese police. Gordon Thomas and Ronald Iiutchinson tell the whole dra- matic story in "Turn. By The Window." The trio 'were taken, handcuffed, to police H.Q., raked separately with questions in the hope that they would incriminate each other. "Each , one was framed to blacken my case further," Nich- olls says, "Wasn't I responsible for attacks on other women in Kure? Hadn't I arranged to stay in Japan to profit out of the local populace? Over and over again the same questions were thrust at me, slowly clogging my' mind and making it diffcult to think clearly." He was even taken from prison to hospital to confront the 'wo-`. man lyingin bed, bandaged, looking deathly, with two old people—evidently her parents— sitting by. The old couple began shouting at him, all three screeched at him, "Why you do it, soldier?" she asked at last. And Nicholls could say nothing. Under pressure of thiskind the three decided to plead guilty after appearing before the Chief Procurator, who acted as prose- cutor, magistrate and coroner, and allowed for no doubt as to their guilt. Eventually they were tried by three judges—so forbidding that Nicholls christened them Lofty, Flint -face and Ugly. There was no jury, butthey were granted • PRETTY PAGAN — A beauty in battle dress, Cuban actress Chelo Alonio wears a warrior's costume for her role in a new movie being filmed iri Rome.

The Press- There is nothing so commonly used for wrapping articles as a piece of newspaper, and •who would think of trying to identify one copy when millions are printed? Lastsummer an old man was found dead in Cornwall; he had been battered with a stone.wrap- ped in newspaper. The newspa- per was one of the national dailies, and the police made in- • quiries at the newspaper office because an issue would contain information which might be val- uable. The Ruxton case was a classic example. Dr. Buck Buxton, who lived at Lancaster, had many quarrels with Ills wife, and after Septem- ber '14th, 1935, she disappeared with her maid. Buxton said they had gone tiff on holiday. Later the dismem- bered remains of parts of two women were found in a ravine near Moffat in Scotland. Some of the remains were wrapped ,in newspaper, and one of the nes- papers Was dated September 15. 1935. The police made inquiries and found that only a limited num- ber of this particular edition had beep printed, and it had only been circulated in Lancas- ter., Do you want a greater understanding of the Bible?
