I� have been going with him near -1 ly every Saturday. It seems! that I go to my girl friend's 1 place, then she and her boy' friend and I go uptown for a drive, and usually find my boy friends. As soon as we find him, I usually go out with him. How can I get him to pick me up at home? He always takes me home like a man does, and always seems happy with me. I know he doesn't go out with anyone else and I also don't go with anyone else. I sit and wait for Saturday to see him. Worried Gal DEAR WORRIED — All he may need is a word from you. If he's not a dater, he hasn't practised making dates. Tell him you like his com- pany but are puzzled as to why he never arranges ahead to take you out. He'll appreciate you more if he has to make a little effort to see you. DEAR DORIS — I am 13. I live in a very broken, disorgan- ized home. Mom met dad through a newspaper. You know, men and women send in their names and ages and so on and find someone to marry in this way. Mom babies my seven-year- old sister. She show love for some of us and hates the rest. She hates dad. It's funny she hasn't driven him to insanity or something. She is the laziest, untidiest person I know. Doris, you just can't imagine what it's like to live here. Our house is a mess. We come hone from school and the floors are un - swept. She never scrubs, waxes or anything, I think she, and everything she does, will drive me crazy. My older brothers and sister complain also. My.little sister isn't yet ,affected by her. Desperate DEAR DESPERATE—Sounds like a home which, if not ac- tually broken, is at least badly bent! I'd say your mother has needed help for a long time, and of several kinds. Is she, by chance, under par physically? She babies and •cuddles little sister because she needs some- one who loves her no matter what. The rest of you no longer respect her. A conspiracy with your dad and the other teens just could result in a clean-up which would give all of you — including mom — a great big lift. This might be followed by some kindness from you to mom, when she least expects it. Like making her a cup of tea. DEAR DORIS — My mother divorced my father when I was in high school. Later she re- married and was divorced again. There are no children by this marriage. My father died 20 years ago and now my mother says that she should be buried beside my father at her death. She does not bear his name. What is proper? She has a lot with her marker all on it, in .the town where she was born and also where her mother and father are buried. Attention Farmers CONCRETE SOLOS 1967 will be a big year in construction. Farmers inter- ested in building a Silo 14 feet in diameter, should con- tact us immediately. The average farmer has one to four silos on his farm —how about you? Do you need another silo? CALL ZURICH WES HUGILL & SON "28 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE" DIAL. 236.4928 SU' REA SERVE YOU.

She does not w.mt to be buried here either, so what do I do? She is 77 years of age. Casting Lots DEAR CASTING We usually go by the expressed wishes •of the person who owns the body! After all these years she looks back on your father with some sentimental regard, A bit un- usual—but not unheard of. Shipping a body would in- volve the cost of express and of a person to travel with it. If finances can be arranged, con- sider it. If not, she might look with favor on the purchase of a fam ily plot to accommodate you and yours, in which she would have a place. A personal chat with your minister would help you sort things out better than a letter from me. Confidential to Pen-Happy— By nature we are sociable. Not many enjoy being alone and on their own as much as you are. My leaflet "How to Get More Mail" provides some addresses for finding kindred spirits to write to. Send in ten cents and a stamped, self-addressed en- velope and I'll put in the mail to you. 0 Obituary Elmore P. Datars Elmore P.

I used to think it referred specifically to the problems of the human animal ... but now I find it pertains to birds, too. Seems there is a parrot in Victoria, B.C,, named Louis who has had it pretty good (for a bird) for many long years. He was the property of Victoria Wilson until 17 years ago when his mistress died and Louis be- came the sole owner of a ram- bling white mansion near down- town Victoria and an estate worth $60,000. Now, Louis reclines in' lux- ury on an annual allowance of about $4,000, the amount it takes to keep the parrot in brandy and crackers and pay his private bondsman to tidy his cage. One small problem loons on the horizon for poor Loaded Hensen Church Women 'Elect New !Officers for Term The following officers were elected for 1967, by the United Church Women, at their final business meeting: past presi- dent, Mrs. Harold Currie; presi- dent, Mrs. James McAllister; first vice-president, Mrs. Vern Alderdice; recording secretary, Mrs. Harry Caldwell; assistant, Mrs. P.

You Are Welcome twarroaunnwastuovonntraRemszazum Louis, and a solution ,will not be easily found. Louis is 101 years old and his estate has dwindled to a paltry $20,000! Before you con - elude that Louis should double his intake of brandy and switch to eating eclairs before death robs him of the balance of his inheritance, let me point out that Louis could live to be 200. Just roughly speaking, it could mean that Louis will have to manage on 30 or 35 dollars per year for the next century! If Louis takes his cue from human behavior, he will dis- cover there are several courses of action open to him. He can sip triple brandies till he's sloshed, stay that way un- til his brandy supply is exhaust- ed and then screech for assis- tance from the government or anyone who happens to take pity on him. He could put on a dignified front, sit tall on his perch, count his pennies secretly and give no indication of his financial plight, hope that the tide will turn in time to save hint. He might smooth his feathers, polish his beak and attract some other monied mistress who will pay his brandy and biscuit bills. Or he could sell his fine home and switch to beer and dry bread on a rented roost. Chances are though that the poor parrot will live on, obliv- ious to his eventual evicton to some pet shop or other. Like his human counterpart, Louis will be forgotten in his old age unless someone, somewhere has compassion. When things are quiet over at the CBC offices then it's time for something to happen at CTV. That's the way it usu- ally works and that's what hap- pened last week. Michael Hind -Smith, one of the top CTV executives left his position, by request. I had heard rumors a few weeks ago that Michael was on his way out, but my news source didn't know the exact date. Hind -Smith is an intelligent man and must have known he would not be staying with the network until retirement age. His duties became less •and lest. and important decisions were not being made by him. If you think you can decide what programs should be on the CTV network, write a letter to John Bassett at the Toronto Telegrarn and apply for the job. A special public hearing has been called on a Canadian space satellite television network by the board of broadcast gov- ernors. The. hearing, to be held in Ottawa in March, will centre on the proposal of broadcaster Ken Soble to join with Power Corporation of Canada in a $75,000,000 scheme to orbit satellites which would reflect signals to Canada from coast to coast. The plan Soble set out would require orbiting of two satel- ail tl.:k3t.`} 1� F'4'741" iji: ` "a 1 r'•'.�.9 ttR O lites, one a spare, Signals front three production centres would be beamed up to the satellite and bounced back to ground relay stations across the coun- try. Mr, Soble said the network would operate in both French and English and in color, reach- ing some 90 per cent of the population. It woud require 97 channel allocations in various areas. He said it would be better and cheaper for Canada to orbit her own satellite, rather than renting space on a U.S, or joint international satellite.
