DEAR DORIS — My fiance
lived in •another town and came
down every week -end Last
week -end he asked me for my
ring, as he wanted to insure it.
He was turning Catholic for me.
We are both 24.
On Tuesday I got a letter
from his father saying the mar-
riage was off. Then I found
Jim had taken our wedding
bands from a box where I kept
them. He had been studying
an the room and must - have
looked until he found them.
Be has never been sneaky.
Their home life was not hap-
py; his parents were separated.
Both were against the marriage
for religious reasons and also
just didn't want him to marry.
1 gave up my job to prepare
for the wedding; had bought
my wedding gown . Should I
get in touch with him Do I
return shower gifts? I cannot
understand why this has hap-
pened.
Heartbroken
DEAR HEARTBROKEN—I'm
sorry. "Religious reasons" can
be very potent ones, and the
pressure on Jim must have been
terrible. I'd guess she was used
to giving in to his Dad; but to
fail to face you himself suggests
childish weakness. And this
was no impulsive decision.
I can't see that a further con-
versation with Jim would serve
any purpose. Start picking up
the pieces. Give back the gifts,

with a brief statement that you
have decided not to get married
right now.
DEAR DORIS — 1 am an eld-
erly widow. I have a neighbor,
78, who is very unhappy. For
three years now I have listened
to her woes. She keeps saying
nobody knows how sick she is,
The doctor cannot find any-
thing wrong and she eats well,
She repeats everything until
I could scream; knows every
move I make; drops in at my
supper time daily. Today I
looked her straight in the eye
and told her to go home and
get busy with her hands and
try being cheerful.
She wined: "What can I do?"
She has a keen brain. What
can she do. Also 78
DEAR ALSO—She could join
a senior's club, go to church,
do volunteer work, write letters
to pen pals, knit tea cosies.
She needs to use some of the
drive she puts into complain-
ing, into something useful and
absorbing.
Stick by your guns. You
may be what she needs to jar
her into discovering that her
health will improve with use.
DEAR DORIS — I was ex-
tremely overweight when I de-
cided to diet. My skin on the
top of my legs and arms was
really stretched to some wild
proportions.
Now that I've almost reached
my desired weight, my good old
reliable skin is just lying on
the top of my arms and legs
like a flabby baloon. Since I'm
only a teen-ager, this presents
an embarrassing situation. I
still look overweight.
I've dieted and done exten-
sive exercising, but it doesn't
help. I'm in dire need of your
help.
Troubled Teen-ager
DEAR TROUBLED — That
weight didn't go on in a day.
And your crash program for
taking it off has given the
over -stretched skin little time
to readjust to a smaller figure.
But it will. Exercise of every
part of your body will tone up
muscles and firm up tissues.
Stretching. bending. walking,
swimming—all will help.
So will massage. Use a cream
and massage with a deep knead-
ing motion.
Diet counts in this. Skin -
building proteins, skin -healing
vitamins — the food constit-
uents which abound in milk,
meat, fresh vegetables, fruits
—are you getting plenty of
them.
Confidential to Unpleased —
When skin is poor, hair stringy,
carriage awkward, pep only So-
so, both Molly and Mom decide
that growing up isn't easy. I'm
sending you our leaflet "Are
You Really Gr o w i n g Up?"
Which supplies some helpful
pointers. (Available to readers
for ten cents and a stamped,
self-addressed envelope.)

General
Fidelity bonds have been examined for only those School Boards
as indicated on schedule 20. It is presumed that the treasurers of the
remaining boards are not bonded as is required by the Schools Adminis-
tration Act.
With respect to the Hay Municipal Telephone System, the follow-
ing comments are presented:
In determining the 1964 deficit there has been charged both de-
preciation in the amount of $29,180.32 and debenture principal of $11,500.00.
It is also brought to your attention that no charges were made against the
Depreciation Reserve Account for reconstruction materials and wages;
whereas for the year ended December 31, 1963, the sum of $26,220.73 was
charged for such expenditures. It is therefor my opinion that a consistent
policy is not being followed in this respect,
It was necessary to adjust the accounts and tolls receivable accounts
by the sum of $3,714.90 to get these accounts to balance with the general
ledger control accounts.
It would appear that there may be some losses from uncolleotabie
accounts and tolls receivable, and a provision for doubtful accounts has
been set up in the amount of $7,114.06. If losses from bad debts are going
to be reduced, more aggressive action will have to be taken to collect
accounts and terminate telephone service.
A new .system for billing and recording accounts and tolls receiv-
able has been suggested and, I understand, is being installed.
Auditor's Opinion
Subject to the foregoing, I report that in my opinion
(1) The financial transactions which have come under my notice have been
within the powers of the municipality.
(2) The audit has been conducted in accordance with the instructions of
the Department of Municipal Affairs.
(3) The financial statements present fairly the financial position of the
municipality as at December 31, 1964, and the results of its operations
for the year ended on that date.
Dated July 13, 1965.
