Since then, she has gone west to continue her Canadian tone. Not only, are the teen-ag- ers of Canada proud of her, but the adults seem as justly proud, Barbara Ann looked every inch the Queen as she rode up Bay,, Street, to Toron- to's City Hall. Nothing was left out of the show. They had 'Pipe Bands and Mounted Police, speeches, crowds and all the rest that goes with welcoming' home a Canadian girl who carried off the skating honours of the world, She could make millions in Hollywood and she wants to "settle down" and be hap- py oh well, just like a woman. A Little of This and That To the lady who wrote in from Fern Hill, Ontario asking where she could purchase a copy of "Jack Min- er and The Birds", we are surprised that it is not available at the leading book stores. The copy we have was given to us by Manly Miner, back in early November. At the time, he said it would soon be off the press. We have the American edition, not available here. We suggest yon leave a standing order with your book store, as you should have a copy soon. ** * The kid brother waltzes in today with the announcement that his school has secured the services of Bobby Gimby and company for their annual Prom. You all know who Bobby Gimby is. He's the guy who toots the trumpet each day on the Happy Gang. He charges several hundred to play for a night, too. Brother, have times changed, When I was at 'High" we had a three- piece outfit, consisting of a two - stringed fiddle player, a guy who pounded the piano with his feet (that was worth the price alone), and a girl 'with a geetar. They always started off the evening and ended it by singing that lovely old ballad, "Bury Me Out on the Prairie". The last I heard of them, they were being bur- led out on the prairie. We got the whole outfit for five bucks a night, and thought we had something. Guess we did, too. * * * Many thanks to our old friend G. T. for the swell letter. It was int- eresting. Thanks a lot. * * * Some time ago, we suggested you gals and fellows out there put up a bird stick, to help the little warblers through the winter. Did you do it? I see ... well maybe next year then, I had real luck with my bird stick, At first, nothing would come near it, and now what have we got? Mr. and Mrs. Red Headed Woodpecker and Jr, and Mr.. and Mrs. Sammy Bluejay and their three little sprouts. It sure is fun to watch them from the kitchen. I know if you once put up a stick you'll never take it down. * • • Take a look at the picture at the 'top of this column. Do I look like el man of about 45? No cracks, please. A reader tells me to have another picture taken, that it makes me look like e.r old man. Well, I won't see 14 again, but brother I'm no 45, no matter how you look at it, Or Down Mrs. Henpeck: "Everything is go- ing up." Mr. Henpeck: "Oh I don't know. For instance, there's your opinion of me, my opinion of you, and the neighbours' opinion of us both." * - The beloved cardigan suit from $hrybman is a chalk stripe Flaps on the poc' •ts pad the hipline, and the s1 't is straight and slim.

One minute its tor tents are a mystery, the next, by breaking the seal, you find...what? Ah yes, so many things. Good news, bad news, or just ordinary family gossip. You know — so-and-so has had a baby . Uncle Toni has sold his farm.. Cousin Jean is getting married next month. Yes, that envelope can hide shocks, pleasant surprises or just plain family news. But when you get a letter that you know is important, don't you sometimes feel scared to open it? You are so hoping the news will be good, on the other hand you have reason to fear it may be bad. * * That is how I felt twice last week. You remember I had news that a friend of ours in England was to visit us this summer. Well, a few days later calve another letter, from the same friend, That was the one that scared vie. Partner said — "Another letter from Cicely — I suppose she isn't coming." Fearfully I alit the seal just a litle bit — I couldn't bear the thought of bad news at one full blast. Peeking, I read the first line — "prepare for a shock I..." "Oh dear, she isn't com- ing." I almost wailed. "Well, open it up — let's find out what it's all about," urged Partner. So I opened it — and it wasn't as bad as I feared. Cicely is still coming but not to stay a year as was her original intention. The reason — and I quote from the letter — "England is so desperately short of experienced teachers that if I retire this year I \�/ Does Typing Hinder Your Career Future? MEM Fred Johnson was an up-and-com- ing youngster, working as a file clerk -in a big company where he hoped to get ahead. One fine day the chance came— a junior executive opening with re- sponsibility and a pay raise! But Fred Johnson was stymied. His typing was poor and slow and the fob called for weekly reports to the main office.

Print NAME, ADDRESS, BOOK TITLE and NO. 13 feel I should be running away from work that needs to be done, ..so I have decided to visit Canada just for the summer holiday and back to my job -in September." Then there was a letter from my brother. Generally his wife does the writing so when I saw brother Eddie's writing I wondered if any- thing was wrong. You will under' stand why when I tell you that as far as I knew his young son was still in Jerusalem, But I needn't have worried — my nephew is out of the army and everything was fine, except my brother said — "If you don't want to read some very bad language don't ask me what I think of the Labour government!" * * * Well, that is as far as I got last Friday. Then I had a call to go to Toronto. I had a busy time. Shop- ping Friday afternoon, a meeting that night — the real purpose of my -trip — more shopping next morning and a trip downtown to see Barbara Ann. And I really saw her — and she is just as sweet and charming as the best of her press photographs make her appear. Not only that, I saw her crazy little hat! The crowd was terrific. At first I was right on the outside and couldn't see a thing. Then as others came behind me I was pushed along until I was right in front of the City Hall steps with Barbara Ann directly in my line of vision. It was hard to realize that such a dainty little lady had had the skill and perseverance to bring so much honour to her country. After the ceremony the crowd pushed me along down to one of the eepartment stores — honestly, I didn't take one step of my own volition. I had lunch on the seventh floor of the store. When I came out only two elevators were"worlcing and they couldn't begin to accomodate the crowd so I got my after-dinner exercise by walking down seven flights of stairs. Then Following an afternoon with Daughter I took the train for home — and the pas- sengers didn't have to pile out and push the train — you may remember my last trip on the bus.
