"Dear Anne Hirst: About six
nnonths ago I met a fine boy, We
have gone places and had good
times together; even my family
lilted him, which as you know
doesn't always happen. He is
handsome and has grand plan-
ners, and I fell hard. Of course
I thought he did, too, although
now I remember that he never
did commit himself. Anyway, a
girl friend of mine dropped in
one night while he was there
(and she wasn't invited) so she
called her boy friend and we all
went out together.
"That was the dumbest thing
I ever did. She made a play for
him, and I've hardly seen him
since. They go everywhere to-
gether. I am sick about it. I had
heard she likes to break up
couples, I guess just to see if
she can; but she seemed friend-
ly to me, so I didn't believe the
stories. The boys fall for her
(I think I know why) and al-
though she doesn't hold them
long there's always another one
around. Maybe she feels bad
about this one of mine she land-
ed, because now she doesn't
speak to me.
"I would love to have him
back, even though he is in the

service now. He promised to
write to me, but I don't sup-
pose he ever will. Is there any
way I can get him back? I go
out with other people, but I
can't keep my mind on them.
He is my ideal!
HOPELESS"
* Once a young man stops
dating you, I know of no way
* you can bring him back. Don't
blame the girl too harshly; if
he had thought as much of
• you as you believed, her
ry' charms would have been in
vain. It is your .misfortune
that you fell in love with, one
who cared less for you.
This is one reason to keep
on dating other friends. (You
would .anyhow, since he has
left town.) At first they may
not seem exciting, but it pays
to keep going out with them
especially when your spirits
are low; you'll be going places
and doing things, and in spite
of yourself you'll be cheered.
* If I may suggest it, why not
* drop this girl as promptly as
* she has dropped you? She
* isn't the right sort, and others
* might feel you aren't, either.

IS IT TOO LATE?
"Dear Anne Hirst: I have
heard girls who learned how
much they loved a man only
when they lost him, but I never
believed it was true. Now I
know, and how unhappy I am!
"Nearly two years ago I met
this boy, and we went regularly
together until two months ago.
Then .I called it quits; and now
I miss him so much I am in a
state of collapse. Finally he
came around and I was apolo-
getic and as nice as I could be,
but he said pointblank that he
didn't love me as he did.... If
it was real love in the first
place, couldn't he love me now
and forgive ine?
MARCIA"
* One is sometimes so hurt by
* injustice or unkindness that
* he cannot even consider a re-
conciliation. I expect this
young man is no mood to risk
what he thinks might be a
second offense. All you can do
now is 'to wait and to hope.
It would be in poor taste to
call him or write. Let . him
find out whether you are more
important in his life than he
* thought; if you are, he will
soon be . with you. But mean-
time, go out as often as you
''can with other dates, if only,
k. to peep yourself' 'in circu'la-
^' tion. It won't, be easy, but af-
* ter the first few times you
* will find you can actually en-
* joy them. Isn',t that smarter
* than staying home alone and
* pitying yourself?
* * *
Remember that you are
known by the girl friends you
go with as well as by the boys

problems, and will help you

Q. Do you think it's proper
for one girl to borrow another
girl's lipstick?
A. While this is frequently
done, I still think that lipstick is
just a bit too personal an item
to borrow.
Q. Is it necessary that the
acknowledgment of an invitation,
when either accepting or declin-
ing, be definite, or is it all right
for one to say, "I may be able
to come"?
A. By all means, be definite
when acknowledging an invita-
tion — either "yes" or "no".
MANHATTAN TROUIBADORS—Reliving lives of the minstrels
of the Middle Ages, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Mork of New York
are shown in Rome, Italy, where they have been delighting
natives with impromptu performances at various spots in the
city. Singing Elizabethan songs to the accompaniment of a lute,
the Morks have traveled to Italy from North Africa and will
visit France and England before returning home.
LOOK ALIKES—Striking resemblance,:;between Ingrid Bergman
and her daughter, Jenny Ann Lindstrom, is shown in this scene

Ever since I can remember I
have been fascinated in trying
to figure out reason for people
being where they are. Take any
town or country district—east,
west, north, south—what reason
did any particular family have
.for living in any of those districts
-or any district for that matter?
I -always wonder—still more so
now, since we have been on the
move ourselves, and find our-
selves continually bumping into
people who are, or will be, mot/i-
4ing to the very district we have
left.' When we went back to.

r tion we ',paged-

passed farm about three miles
Ginger Farm on which had bee
built, .,among 'the trees, a very.
• lovely modern home, with a:
grand view across the country
The owners, we were told, carina'
from "somewhere near Toronto".
I forgot about the place until
one day 'last week. At that time
I was exploring an out-of-the-
way residential area near here-
as I oftendo—and noticed a par-
ticularly attractive house for
sale in a wooded section. I
stopped and spoke to the lady
of the house and discovered
they were selling as they had
bought a hundred acres in Halton
and had built a house that was
even now ready and waiting for
them. The one we had seen, no
less! Of course, I don't know
their reasons for moving but I do
know this—their tax bill for
a hundred acres will be less than
what they are paying for their -
present house. Besides that, as
they don't intend to farm there
is nothing to stop them selling
off acre, or five acre lots from
their property for country homes.
That is just one "moving"•
instance but we have run across
many others. Probably people
are trying to escape high taxa-
tion. Well, from what we hear
it can't be done. Taxes are sky-
rocketing everywhere, even in
co u n t r y districts. Education
seems to be the greatest single
factor. The Provincial govern-
ment has promised to ease the
burden so we shall await de-
velopments with • interest, al-
though any easement that comes
will be too late to affect next
year's taxes.
Well, I had plenty of oppor-
tunity last week to indulge my
curiosity about people and where
they live as last Sunday Bob and
family took us to Midland where
Dee and her family were on a
two-week vacotion -- at Notte-

country to Partner and me so
naturally we enjoyed the trip im-

Midland to Honey Harbor, skirt-
ed around Christian Island and
then back home again. At times
there was quite a swell on the
water, white caps tossing a
feathery spray. Not really rough,
just enuogh so we could feel
the motion of the boat --which
added to our enjoyment. Our,
three grandsons loved it, al-
though
two of them spent part
of the time sleeping. From the
water we saw the Martyrs'
Shrine in the distance (now I'll
be satisfied until I get a
view). Along the road

Ft -di is On
The Upswing
Who listens to r adio any
more? The answer at the mo-
ment, according to the country-
wide business -analysis firm of
Sindlinger & Co., is (i million
more people than have been
watching TV.
Is this a summertime freak or
a growing trend? There is no
great meeting of minds in the
industry on that answer, but
here is what has been happen-
ing:
Since 1948, when radio was
supposed to have started dying
while its kid brother, TV, was
growing, the number of radio
stations increased 64 per cent
(present number: 3,744).
At the end of June, 70 million
people were listening to radio
and the same number were
watching T.V. By July 20, radio
had picked up 2 million fans
and TV had dropped 4 million.
Fourteen per cent more net-
work radio time was sold in the
first quarter o fthis , year than
the same quarter of 1956.
The most significant develop-
ment in radio, many people in
the industry believe, is the
growth of the independent sta-
tions. They give the local listen-
ers a rich diet, of listening mat-
ter related to his local interests,
which the chains cannot do.
Local news is reported on the
air almost as fast as it happens.
Important, too, is the fact that
local people in large numbers.
go on the air free, rather than
as paid performers. A local sta-
tion can thrive without spend-
ing very much money. The net-
works have their high-priced disk
jockeys, but the local stations
are saturated with low-priced
jockeys.
Television itself has contribut-
ed to the rise in the radio busi-
ness, local or network, trade ex-
perts believe. Joel Culligan, head
of NBC radio, points out. that
advertisers who spend large
sums on TV, supplement this ad-
vertising with the inexpensive
and much more numerous "spots"
available to them on radio — and
the more they deal in 411V, the
more they supplement on radio.
• CBS's head of radio programm-
ing Howard Barnes, makes the
same point: "A single shot on
TV needs to be backed by
widespread coverage on radio."
But Barnes and Culligan dis-
agree on the significance of ra-
dio's current recovery. Culligan
feels radio's popularity will con-
tinue in the fall. "A summer
fluke," Barnes calls it. "To say
" radio listeners will outnumber -
TV watchers would be foolish."
Robert Eastman, president of
ABC radiofi attributes the med-
ium's present upswing inpart to
"showmanship," and 'adds: "I'm
in favour of stunts." He plans,
hi addition, to help the present
trend along with plenty of live
music. "Soaps and variety are
out," he says. "What the house-
wife wants is to hear music while
she's working. Radio is the only
medium that can offer it." He
also has great faith in "gazinkus"
— a kind of magnetism. F.D.R.
had it. Billy Graham has it."
Another who seems to have
it is the star of CBS's new, talked -
from the water, plastered with
mud but gloriously happy. At
one timeevery district had its.
'ole swimmin' hole'. The holes
are still there—polluted with
waste and foul refuse -and the
children are denied their birth-
right, for children and clear, cool
water belong together.
