A year ago I heard mine was dashing about with a pretty girl who was boasting she in- tended to marry him. I decided that all she needed was a good scare. I gave it to her "She was a young thing who had been sneaking out to meet him, I called her and told her if she ever saw my husband again I would tell her mother. She burst into tears and hung up — but she never met him again. Later, my husband ad- mitted he had it coming to him, and ever since he has been wonderful. "These single girls may not be aware of the trouble they cause, but why don't they real- ize that what they are doing is downright dishonest?

Every man.likes.things left just• the way they always have been. So, if any changes are to be made the woman has to be very diplomatic, ' making tlae operation as painless as possible to the man of the house: We have . just come through such a period — with very satisfactory results. When we first moved into, our present home Partner and I took the front bedroom for ourselves. The second bedroom was our guest room. 'For it we bought honey -'maple twin beds. The room was light and airy and looked. verycomfortable. The: third room: was,:mostly den, with a roll -away cot for convenience. It is••gen- erally called "mother's room" be- cause I make the most use of it — for typing, sewing and read- ' Ing Our first visitors here,were my sister and her adult son. So there we were with two goodbeds but only one• guest room., We made. up' a bed for; Klemi in the base- ment. Other visitors followed sometimes a husband and wife, or a mother with children, or sometimes a single guest. Our guest room seemed quite ade- quate. I. didn't realize • we were actually short of accommodation — not until this spring when we were again faced with' mother and son complications, worse than the first time as we had given away our basement bed and the roll -away .cot wastoo narrow • for adult comfort. What to do, that was the question. I would lie awake at night pondering the situation I finally came up with 'an answer. It was then, and not 'til then, that I broached the subject to Partner. In theory the solution was quite simple but, involved unwelcome changes and a lot of 'unnecessary work -= that is, from. a man's point of view. After • ex- pounding on the idea for abort a week I finally got Partner to see the light. So . , . last Wednes- day was moving day. We turned the small room into a spare room with only one bed plus the roll -away not. The mid- dle room became the den in which we left one of the twin beds, Sounds simple, doesn't it? But you don't know what is in thaf den My drop-leaf typewrites' table. for' instance. Solid oak. so big and awkward it had to be taken apart to be moved at all And then the table -top was ton wide to go around corners into the middle room, It was then I decided an ordinary low table would answer my purpose for typing if only I could keep the self-locking desk draWers. Part. ner investigated: found the desk well -made with screws a n d wooden pegs and so was easily taken apart, leaving the drawers. intact, Well, what with books, papers. filing cabinetand other things— plus cleaning — it took us a whole day, to make the move And now even Partner thinks it was a good idea. As a guest room we like the smaller room. better — cosy and more compact. The den is spacious, with; oetter lighting and can double , -:as r A sleeping area .for male :visitors. And do you know, the change- over was made without a single swear -word from Partner. As for me I was so tired I couldn't sleep that night. Comments 'f from other interested parties — "I wonder you didn't think of it before!" That, as I' have said, took place on Wednesday. Thursday the fun began. outside: Township eluip- ment moved in • for laying water mains. Shovels, graders, pipe - lifters and a gang of men were soon noisily at work. Our drive- _ way was excavated and apiece ofroad torn up in front of if so pipes could be angled across to the other side. Just as the job had'reached the stage of shutting us in a piece of equipment broke down and work was postponed until next day. But somehow I had to get out to take a neighbour ' and her child to the clinic. Their driveway was clear so Partner filled in the ditch between our two properties and drove across both lawns and on to the'. road. You couldn't see where I had been the ground was so hard and dry. Friday, while plpe-laying con- struction was still deafeningly in progress in front of us, a gas station at the back of us, facing the Dundas Highway, staged an official two-day opening with loud -speaker music blaring away frein ten in the morning until nine at night, It was terrific Sunday was relatively quiet, exceptfor an occasional lawn mower, Where anyone could find grass to cut: I wouldn't know. We still haven't had any rain to speak of. Last Monday we were in Dufferin county. It was rain- ing on the way up otherwise cora- ditions were just as dry as here. Dee and her boys are enjoying' themselves (I hope!) at the cot- tage. Art- goes up week -ends, travelling mostly at night. One Sunday there was a terrific storm — hydro off three hours. Supper was cooked on the Quebec heater. Rain so heavy you couldn't see the lake — only fif- ty yards away. They didn't need the rain but how we would have welcomed it! Yesterday Bob, Joy and boys were. here. Today all is quiet on the .home front. We are not sorry. Big Narcotics Suspects Trapped It was 1 a.m. and sultry in the Montreal suburb of Pointe aux Trembles; at the garish Motel Jacques Cartier, a convoy of cars pulled up and let out a band of big, quietly dressed men. A bald- ing, pudgy motel guest 'cursed fervently as the introduers burst in, then submitted to a frisk. Other visitors took on his room- mate, a younger, more imposing man, who put up a•,flght before subsiding. R;C;M,P, raiders.'thus climaxed a four-year investiga- tion ' (carried out with U.S.' nar- cotics agents) by the arrest of Montreal Hoodlum Giuseppe ("Pepi") Cotroni, 39, and his lieutenant, Rene ('Bob") Rob- ert, 33. They were big fish, said Sam- uel Levine of the U.S. Bureau of Narcotics in Manhattan. Cotroni ("He's illiterate, but his arith- metic is good") has been for years practically the biggest sin- gle: supplier of dope to New 'York, although his normal chan- nels of distribution were disrupt- ed by the police investigation that followed the 1957 discovery of a gangland convention at Apa- lachin, N.Y. Cotroni, whose en- terprises include an interest in a flashy Montreal drive-in cafe, called The Bonfire, got the dopey off' Montreal -bound ships, • and provided probably four-fifths of% the New York supply of heroin. . Nine U.S. .undercover agents . moved into Montreal four months ago after a New York stoolie ar- ranged for .a, personal introduc- tion' to Cotroni. After weeks of credential checking by Cotroni, one agent managed, in -two deals to buy 13.2 lbs of uncut heroin. The dope was delivered in six plastic bags, .each weighing 1 • kilo — 2.2 lbs. Price was $35,000 .• (in U.S.' currency), $14,000 due by July 15. If Cotroni was,wor- ried about the credit, he should not have been. The money was supplied fifty-fifty by Canada and the U.S. All told, said the Mounties, investigators had tak- en possession of heroin worth up to $8,000,000 at retail. Cotroni. and Robert - have led vivid lives. A pal of Cotroni's slipped.some poison in his creme de menthe last winter, but Co- troni had his .,stomachpumped out and was as bad as' new. Somebody shot 'Robert in the %stomach as he stood outside a Montreal nightclub last •April, but he got patched up. Cotroni and his sidekick were indicted in Chicago in June for a role in •a scheme to dispose of bonds stolen in the $10 million heist of the Brockville Trust & Sav- ings Co. and were at large pend- ing extradition. —From TIME ern.. inch • it !is !Roberta Lee Q.
