I've tried to be the kindof person a man is supposed to want — sympathetic, intelligent, with a keen sense of humor. I have never had any trouble attracting a man (four have seemed in love with me) but not one has proposed. "Since I graduated from col- lege I've always held responsible positions where I met men of superior intellect and talents. Those I dated spared no time, ducats or affection, but in about six months something always happens. The man seems bored, and that puts me on edge; I ap- pear at my worst, and soon he joins the group of those I liked and lost. "Don't think I yearn for a knight in armor; I'd settle for a decent, interesting male who is normally affectionate, compat- ible and loyal In return I do not think he would be dine, - pointed. I still hold the old ideal of marriages — for keeps. "My father was a brilliant man, and they say I take after him. I keep well-informed but I'm not a blue -stocking, I am certainly more interesting to know than the average woman who can only talk about food and babies and her ,husband's faults. Can you judge by this brief sketch what lies ahead for me? "Do you believe that destiny controls our lives and struggling to change it is futile?

Monkey Business In Radio Station The day begins at 5:30 a.m. with the recorded mating call of a bull ape. After that, for 14 hours, Florida radio listeners within range of Jacksonville's WAPE are assaulted by the monotonous beat of rock 'n roll. A three-minute trickle of news every two hours is the only re- lief; every station break is loud with the love-sick ape. The con- tinuous uproar is so hypnotic that few who hear it seem an- xious — or able — -to turn it off. Last week one -year-old. WAPE finished its fourth month as the top-rated station in a highly competitive nine -station town. Many a listener has been moved to visit WAPE's white - marble building just south of Jacksonville on U.S. Highway 17, to see the source of the' noise. Most come away convinc- ed that more than one odd crit- ter is loose inside. Station Boss Bill Brennan, 38, a hillbilly - talking Harvard -trained electri- cal engineer, directs operations in his bathing suit, but he pre- fers to escape to his plush apart- ment (separated from the office by a silding panel operated by a hidden push-button). There he can toy with his bar and his "Play Pretty," a frosted -glass wall behind which coloured lights flare and flicker in time with the transmitted music. "On low notes," Brennan explains, "the low part of the panel lights up, and so on, When there are chords, the whole wall goes crazy." Disk jockeys go about their labours beside the building's dolphin -shaped pool, which tails off into the lobby. (Late -arriv- ing employees often enter by way of the diving board.) Sta- tion ta- tion engineers are given to dressing in an ugly, hairy -ape costume and dashing about with another WAPEster in hot pur- s u i t, brandishing a rifle, On calmer days, a costume ape may. stalk out to the highway thumb a ride. Even WAPE's checks are decorated with the simian Image — along with a brief message from the keepers: "We will welcome your saving this check as a souvenir nistead of cashing it." In Los Angeles, police search- ed for a man who held up a Salvation Army store, growled at his victim; "I've donated to the Salvation Army quite a bit. Now give me all the bills you have." TWENTY-NINTH BIRTHDAY — Bright-eyed Princess Margaret smiles softly in an official photograph for her 29th birthday.

HRONICLES i1NGERFARM �.aou..e aoel.e So the Quern, after all this time, is going to have another baby. Isn't that wonderful news: More remarkable still is the fact that she was able to stand up to the exacting demands her Canadiantour made upon her. None can help but admire ` her courage and fortitude. She is a queen in every sense of the word. I am sure we shall all be wishing her well in the months to come and lv,pe that a happy, healthy, normal baby will be the final result. Boy or girl, I don't suppose it will matter too much. Locally, our news is much the same as it has been for the last six weeks — hot, humid weather with no rain at all. This after- noon it turned quite a hit cooler and rained for about five minutes. It was grand to feel a fresh breeze coming in through the doors and windows., Of course we are bound to have some rain soon with the C.N.E. coming on! Did you ever know it to fail? Well, there has to be a first time for everything — and last Saturday night we certainly had it. Partner and I undertook the care of Ross and his five months' old brother while Bob and Joy had an evening out. They left the boys here about five o'clock and said it might be midnight before they got home. That was all right with us, five grandsons having given us plenty of experience with baby sitting. Ross was no trouble at. ally nor was the baby up to seven -thirty. At that time I was feeding him when he sud- denly started to yell. I went through the usual procedure of burping, holding him against my shoulder, or turning him over on his tummy. But still he yelled. I put him in his bug- gy and walked him along the road. He simmered down a bit but started up again every time I stopped walking. However, it was getting late so I came back to the house. That made things worse. His crying woke Ross up three time but fortunately he didn't make it a duet. In- stead he got interested in our record -radio and took all the knobs off. Partner offered to do this and that to help quieten the baby. Finally 1 said, "Well, all right, I'll put him in his buggy again andyou can take him for another walk." He did just that and by ten o'clock the baby was asleep. We were afraid he would wake up if we brought him into the house again so Partner took baby, buggy and all into the garage and stayed out there with him. In the means time I was just about all in and had to lie down for awhile. Two and a half hours of solid yelling was more than I could take. And the reason for all the fuss? Well, the baby had had a needle the day before and imagine it was some sort of re action that was bothering him. His arm was quite inflamed anyway. Generally he is the happiest little soul and ea., -y to look after. But as I say there has to be a first time — and under the circumstances. I hope it will be the last .such occa-,. sion. Next time we do any baby- sitting I'll inquire if they have been given'any needles recently. Another reason for the trouble might. be either that the baby is too young or I am too old for us to understand and ac- cept each other properly. Be that as it may I spent most of the next day recuperating - with the help of a mild seda- tive! We ran into a different situ- ation with Taffy. Instead of making too much noise he was making too little. For nearly a week he, practically lost his bark. A squeaky little noisewas the best he could do. Either he had an attack of laryngitis .or a cricket got stuck in his theoat. He wasn't sick and didn't miss a meal so I didn't take him to the vet. Hehas quite recover- - ed but I am still wondering what. was wrong. Would any of my readers like to help me make a decision? 1 am intrigued with the des- cription of "F.M." radios. It all sounds ., too good to be true. Is it actually possible that an "I`, M." set operates without com- mercials? And are the pro- grammes such that one would feel justified kr the extra out- lay - with a good radio 'al- ready in the house. I imagine one would still need an ordin- ary radio anyway — for the news and'cammentaries. Natur- ally we couldn't • do without Gordon Sinclair and Jack Den - nett. Sometimes we get hop- ping mad at Sinclair but we still continue listening to him. The same applies to television. We often get fed up with the pro- grammes but yet we wouldn't do without it. "Tabloid" used to be one of our favorite feat- ure programmes but now Joyce Davidson seems to have lost much of her sparkle and her laugh sounds forced' and un- natural. Percy, of course, is still tops in our estimation If it were not for him the programme would often fall flat on its face. STOP PRESS NEWS. Our tax bill has just come in. $40 higher than last year.

ISSUE 36 — 1959 A Real Genius of Perfection Josef Haydn (1732-1809) was, a genius of ,perfeetian in music. He exenlplifled the spirit of the eighteenth century in the oharm, orderliness, and simple poetry that were the virtues of the age. Kis own life was serene and unperturbed by tragedy. He had a difficult childhood in the lit- tle town of ltohrats in lower Austria where he was born, but soon he was sent to Vienna, where he applied himself to earnest study under favorable circumstances. Still as a young man, he was fortunate • in se- curing a position as music di- rector to Prince Esterhazy in Eisenstadt. There he composed some of his greatest symphon- ies, string quartets, and also a series of pieces for the bary- ton, a now obsolete bass viol, a string -instrument favored by Prince Esterhazy, who played on it himself. Haydn is popularly known as the Father of the Symphony. Cautious musicologists are un- willing to support this designa- tion, for it is seldom possible to establish a priority on any mu- sical form, and there were sym- phonies written before Haydn. But there is no doubt that Haydn gave the firm outline to the classical' symphony in 'sev- eral movements that became the model' for composersof a later day. In chamber music, Haydn's historical role is great. He cre- ated the string quartet, which has the same formal consisten- cy as a symphony. • Haydn's string quartets show an amaz- ing development of counterpoint; like his symphonies, they be- came the models emulated by his successors. Haydn was so prolific that he himself could not remember howmany symphonies he wrote and the catalogue that he com- piled is very incomplete. As. a result, musicologists until this day cannot agree on the authen- ticity of, numerous works at- tributed to Haydn. One of the items recently taken off the Haydn list is the celebrated "Toy Symphony, the 'score of which includes a trumpet, a drum, a wristle, a triangle, a quail,' and a cuckoo. It now seems certain that the work was written by Mozart's father, possibly in col- laboration with Haydn's brother, Michael. Mastery and supreme profes- sionalism combined in Haydn with gentle humor. When Prince Esterhazy made up his mind to disband his private' orchestra, Haydn accepted the princely de - SALLY'S SALLIES' 'But my dream boat usually gets lost somewhere, some- how." cision with regret, and as $1 final contribution, composed and performed the "Farewell Sym- phony." Aecording to the in- struotions in the score, the mu- sicians left, one by one, after completing their parts, until only the conductor remained ,os the stage, blew out the candle, and departed. Prince Esterhauy was touohed by this spectacle,, and decided to retain the or- chestra, Haydn was an eminently practical man. Like most com- posers of his day, he wrote mu- sic to order. Such was the per- fection of his technique that he never had to wait for inspir- ation to Dome, and the quality of his music was uniformly high. One of Haydn's commissions was the composition of the Austrian national hymn, whieh -remained in force until the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
