Canadian social worker Doris Clark invites you to writ*
her about your problem. Sheanswers letters of general,
interest•in this column but can't undertake personal replies.
DEAR DORIS — I'm much in
love with my girl, but I'm
afraid she is very mixed up.
She cancels nearly every date,
but the thing is when we are
together she,tells me she
missed me vermuch. She is
24 and Iam28.
Just before Christmas we
broke up, and she :had a nerv-
ous breakdown which sent her
to the hospital. After :a month
we got back together, but she
acts like she doesn't know what
she wants.
She hasn't yet •told me she
loved me. When I tell her to
go out with someone else, she
starts crying.
Also Confused
DEAR ALSO — My guess is
your girl fears marriage, in
spite of her fondness for you,
She is probably still convales-
ing, mentally, from her break-
down.
Some encouragement now,
and a heap of patience from
you, can work the miracle she
needs. Be the rock she can
cling to and I'm wagering she'll
bless you with her love the rest
of your life And hers!

DEAR DORIS — I am 16, My
father passed away last year. I
blame myself for his death be-
eause he and I were always
fighting, which was not good
because he had a heart condi-
tion
Two days before his death we
had .a bad fight, and he said he
would leave as soon as possible,
and now I miss him very much.
When we weren't fighting, he
was very good to me.
I go to bed crying every
night. I can't talk to my moth-
er, because she blames me, too,
and the guidance teacher at
school is not very nice and I
don't have many friends.
Please, Doris, I am desperate
for someone to talk to.
Crying For Help
DEAR CRYING — Dry your
tears. Your father's death was
NOT YOUR FAULT. Your
mother is unfairly taking out
her own grief on you.
If the situation was reversed;
if you were gone and your fa-
ther still her, he'd be missing
you. And he'd be the first one
to tell you now to cheer up, if
he could.
Someone to talk to is, indeed,
your greatest need. A trained
social worker or girls' counsel-
lor would be best. Perhaps
your guidance teacher or min-
ister or YWCA drector could
paint you in the right direction.
DEAR DORIS — 1 .have just
recently been made a widow.
I'm middle-aged and of limited
means.
Please advise me how long it
is expected of me to go in
mourning. Does it mean en-
tirely black? I plan on visiting
some relatives in six weeks.
I'm at a loss to know what to
wear or what clothes to take.
Bereaved
DEAR BEREAVED — Wheth-
er we wear black at all is a
good deal more up to the indi-
vidual than it used to be; which
is a. great relief to most of us.
I was greatly concerned when
some years ago, one of my best
f r i •e'n d s lost her wonderful
mother. Imagine my surprise
when, on .a summer's day about
two weeks after the funeral,
she dropped in wearing a pret-
ty light pink dress.
She adored her mother and
missed her greatly. Her friends
did, too. But Margie made us
all free to enjoy her mother's
memory, and to enjoy Margie.
I blessed her for her cheerful
soul.

bility to patrol all highways and
byways in the hope of catching
persons guilty of this infraction.
InOctober of last year the
Perth Centre Women's Institute
sponsored a resolution at the
Guelph area convention which
asked for a ban on the use of
the non -returnable glass soft
drink containers. The support
for the resolution indicated that
there was considerable concern
for the problem.
It is the opinion of many that
the control asked for in this
resolution is not broad enough
to do the job. Glass containers,
many of them non -returnable,
are used for a number of sale-
able products, and, unfortun-
ately, many of them do not go
through the proper disposal
channels.
Again, is it wise to ask for a
ban on ane container, which
may be the worst offender, if
such a ban constitutes discrimi-
nation against one class of bot-
tlers? The non -returnable glass
container has enabled small
bottlers to compete with large
bottling companies using re-
turnable glass containers and
cans.
The alternative to bottles, at
this time, is cards, which .are
quite unsightly although not as
destructive as bottles. The de-
velopment of low cost disposa-
ble containers or plastic or
other material might lessen the
problem.
At a members' meeting of
the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture March 10, a resolution
was introduced and passed ask-
ing that the use of all non -re-
turnable glass containers be
prohibited.
Is legislation of this nature
the answer? Is it possible to
promote stricter enforcement of
the present laws regarding the
Tittering of highways? Can
new, low-cost disposable con-
tainers, to replace glass, be
perfected? Can we educate
members of our society to re-
frain from the practice of litter-
ing roadsides with bottles? We
don' have the answers. The
facts are that it's costing farm-
ers and municipalities untold
thousands of dollars yearly and
it's going to take a good deal
of study and thought before
workable solution can be found.

SUGAR
AND SPICE
by Bill Smiley
I'll be 45 this week. It's one
of those rather decisive birth-
days, like 13, and 21 and 30.
Only 10 years before I'll be
middle-aged, A goodtime to
sum up.
One thing that strikes me is
the amount of junk a fellow can
collect in such a brief span. I
carne into the world without a
stitchor a nickel. And in •only
four and a half decades, I have
about 400 nickels, a house with
two mortgages, a car with 12
payments to go, two teenagers
to put through university, and
a wife currently talking up the
glories of an automatic dish-
washers.
Not to mention a houseful of
furniture that's all due to be re-
placed, a basement full of emp-
ty beer bottles, a toolshed full
of rusty tools and broken bi-
cycles, and an attic full of black
squirrels.
But I have no complaints
about life. I was the runt of
the litter in our family, and I've
grown into a magnificent physi-
cal specimen, towering five foot
eight on hot days, and tipping
the scales at a strapping 138 in
niy winter •overcoat.
And what a beating that
meagre machine has taken in
45 years! I've been sea -sick .and
air -sick and love-sick. I've
rolled over in a car, crashland-
ed in an aircraft, and smashed
into a steel bridge at top speed
on my bike. I've ben beaten
into unconsciousness by a gang
of Germans, and hit with every-
thing from a telephone to a
plate of roast beef by my wife.
Yet there's hardly a scratch on
me. Outwardly.
I've broken fingers and toes
and nose (three times). I've
had hemorhoids and hang-
overs. I've had my scalp laid
open by a hockey stick and a
horseshoe. I've had measles and
mumps and TB and the trots.
scarlet fever and bursitis and
pink eye and dysentry.
And yet, amazingly, the old
carcass presses on. Sight and
hearing are sound as a bell

Hair and teeth are thinning and

Endurance isn't what it used
to be. I couldn't run 200 yards
at top speed if the devil him-

hot pitchfork. But he rarely
chases us Sunday school teach-

I can still swim a few hun-

sit up all night and argue about
politics or women or religion.
I can still get excited about

Shur -Gain Pasture Dairy Ration
Despite the fact dairy cattle were fed well all winter
they could loose weight if fed only lush, green pasture.
Pastures are high in protein but low in carbohydrates
and energy.
SHUR-GAIN PASTURE DAIRY RATION is high in
carbohydrates and thus provides the energy lacking
in lush green pastures. Maintain your herd produc-
tion throughout the early growing season with SHUR-
GAIN PASTURE DAIRY RATION.
