Zurich Citizens News, 1964-11-26, Page 8PAGE EIGHT Canadian social worker Doris Clark invites you to write her about your problem. She answers letters of general interest in this column but can't undertake personal replies. DEAR DORIS----My daughte is 17. When she was 14 sh fell in love with a boy fou years older than her. I though I was doing the right thing by not letting her go steady until she was 16, but by that time he was married to another girl You see, that other girl got pregnant and she blamed this boy. They went into court, he offered to pay the cost and give her a certain amount of money, but her mother forced them to get married. Now they are sep- arated. He says that the baby is not his, and she admitted it in court. He says he is still in love with my slaughter and they are going together. Now he plans to get a divorce and marry my daughter in two years. She is so much in love she can't see straight. What can I do? BAFFLERS DEAR BAFFLED—Let's face facts: Your daughter is dating a married man. He still sees and supports his wife and one child. He let himself be pushed into marriage with a girl he did not love, on a trumped up ac- cusation. r young people of her acquain• e Lance, The divorce is only an idea right now; with its actual rea- lization in great question. This kind of promise is made far oftener than it is kept. You were right to object to steady dating at 14: and unless your daughter can show a more adult approach, I'd guess she is still unable to choose wisely. The young man is merely using her, and is in a perfect position to take advantage of her. Don't nag. Show her this let- ter. And encourage her to pur- sue new interests with other DEAR DORIS — Could you please tell me if a pensioner can continue to draw the pen- sion pay while on vacation in Britain? If so, for how long could he stay away and still receive the allowance? PENSIONER DEAR PENSIONER—Yes. As long as he likes, once he has qualified for it through length of residence ill Canada and has begun receiving it. DEAR DORIS — Could you give me any information re- garding ways in which 1 could strengthen my eyes? I am near- sighted, and minus my glasses I am practically blind. How- ever, my appearance is much better without then. Is there any type of food you could recommend that might help me? Please do not tell me to find a pair of rims that will suit my face, because I definitely would like to get completely rid of my glasses, if that is possible. FOUR EYES DEAR FOUR EYES—My eye consultant says there is no physical way to remedy your particular eye difficulty, which is related to the curve of your eyeball- No food, no eye gym- nastics can alter what nature started you off with. But here's good news: your kind of nearsightedness is cor- rected wonderfully by contact lenses. Well worth saving up for and going through the stages of learning to wear them lwcs FINtFOODS N.

Bill has built a late that will cover over seven acres of what used to be waste land. Building one's own private lake isn't as expensive as one would imagine, according to Mr. Chowan. So far, the hire of two bulldozers and a scraper were the moore costly items but the venture has required many hours of back -breaking labor by the enterprizing young insurance salesman. Werk began this year and has already surpassed expectations. The water in the lake is now about 11 feet deep and rising steadily at about a quarter inch per day. The supply of water comes from the drainage from about 100 acres of land plus several natural springs. Under the direction of an engineer from the department of agricul- ture, a 20 -foot clay core dam was constructed and a weed con- trol drain was installed. This THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1164 drain allows about six feet of water to be taken off the lake to allow the removal of weeds from the bottom before they can decay and contaminate the water, The lake bottom is part clay and partly sandy clay. It is estimated that the lake will contain some 22,000,000 gallons of good clear water when it reaches capacity but when Mr. Chowan first began the project, he had no .idea that his scheme would grow to that size. He discovered, however, that in order to assure unpol- luted water, the lake would have to be large enough to create waves which would in turn put purifying oxygen into the water. To date, a tiny harbor has been dug which will provide clocking space for the Chowan boats. But in the future, the entire area will be beautified and crowned by a new home on the hill overlooking the peaceful inland lake, "It is simply a crazy under- taking that started to grow and grow," explains Mr. Chowan, the son of Mrs. Florence Elliott, secretary -treasurer of the Hur- on County Federation of Agri- culture. But you can bet that the people in the area of.Clinton will take great pride in the Chowan Lake. And Mrs. Chow- an and her three daughters will feel like queens in their home on the lake that Daddy built.
