One day while T was out, he packed his things and went home. We dated a whole year before we married, and now I know I made many mistakes before and after. From what he sav:;, my greatest offense was to say at different times that I didn't really need him. "Be.lieve me, I'd rather have bitten my tongue out. I spoke in anger but he denies that, and insists I meant it. 1 am sure he was in love when he left; how could he stop loving me in a few weeks' time? 1 have begged him to come home, and he flies into a rage.

HELP NEEDED" ANOTHER CHANCE? * What you said was almost unforgivable, and a new nus- " band could take it as an in - e. suit. You offended your cruelly. Your careless r re. '., marks that you did not need * him came like a stab in the * heart; they confused him ut- e early, made him feel inade-• ' quate and unwanted. He must 4' have felt he had received a e mortal wound, and from his * bride of a few weeks. * Time is the only remedy for * the state he is in. It is almost * inconceivable that when his * anger cools and he can•ration- *< aline things, he will not accept * your explanation. Even the * most arrogant male should * not refuse to listen to a wife * who is sincerely repentent. * If you feel you must keep * in touch, write him a letter * assuring him of your deep * remorse and your humiliation • that you offended him so. Tell * him you realize now how * much you do need him, and if * he will come home you will " prove it. * The first year of marriage is- * said to be the hardest. The " necessary adjustments are * emotionaIly wracking; cruel * words are spoken, and imme- diately regretted. Yet no mat- '' ter how great the offense, not * one of us ha the right to deny * another the opportunity to * make a fresh start. a * * CONFESS IIIER AGE? "Dear Anne Hirst: I am very unhappy, for I had to lie about my age and said I was two years older. Now I have found some- one I like, and I don't know how to tell him; I'm so afraid one of my friends will! Two weeks ago he said he'd call me some time, but he didn't. "I was over to see his mother, and I guess he was uneasy with me there, for he went out. His mother and I are good friends, but even she doesn't know how old I am, I am afraid to tell him. Please answer my problem. tNRAPFE ONE" * Only during the teen years mount importance; later on, * does one's age seem of para- ` you will smile at your anxiety * now. But meantime the lie * you told on your conscience, * and I do not believe you will * be at peace with yourself un - 'k til the lad you like learns the truth. * This is the only reason I * suggest that you tell him now. Relate the circumstances, so * he will know you thought they * justified the rnisrepresenta- * tion; thatmuch is due your- * self. Perhaps he is wise * enough to smile and dismiss * the matter as trifling; let's * hope he will. e * The greatest human need is to be appreciated. Never let 'fie one who loves you doubt how precious he is to your content- ment. Anne Hirst's understand- ing can be helpful in thne of need.

Ctovrke Today, this column might more not exactly welcome Tu d tl are less of a detriment to the country than the owners of un- occupied land who allow weeds to flourish and spread all around the neighbourhood. Speaking of weeds, we were tip to 'Ginger Farm earlier in the week. Our previously well - kept farm lane is now little ,more than a track through a wilderness of weeds. As for the garden . . . the less said the better. There are tenants in the house at .present but neutrally they are not doing too much around the place as they never know when the Department of Highways might come along and serve them with a notice to vacate the premises. Work has already started on an overpass at the C.N.R. tracks just back of our old farm. It will 'be in- teresting to go back from time to time to see how the work is progressing. Construction work will be easier to look at than a forest of weeds. Well, I thought 1 was going to get this typing done before young Eddie woke up. But it was not to be. Either he was less tired or maybe the tapping of the typewriter woke him. Be that as it may he had to be changed, cuddled, given a drink of milk and then put out in his playpen with his toys and a bunch of clothes' pegs. He didn't think too much of the idea until a little neighbour girl came across and started playing with him. Now Partner has coma to the rescue so, I imagine this column will finally get done and into the mail. How do mothers with two or three young chil- dren ever get their work done? It makes me wonder. And yet I did it too years ago — and farm chores too. Come to think of it young mothers accomplish an awful lot of work in their waking hours and yet they seem to take it all in their stride. And I think most of them are quite thankful if there is a gran- nie or Aunt Mary around — they come in pretty useful sometimes! properly be called "the joys of being a grandmother". Or may- be I should say grandparents as Partner is having his share too in looking after seventeen - months -old Eddie, who is stay- ing with us awaiting the arrival of a baby sister — we hope! David, when the time comes, will be going to stay with Aunt Joy and Uncle Bob. We were only too willing to have Eddie here but we were also •a little apprehensive •' as he had never been away from his mother at all, not even for a day, so we wondered how well he would adjust. However he has accepted grandma as a fairiy,good substi- tute for mother and so far w: have managed to get along quite well. He is naturally a happy little fellow, reminding us very much of his mother when she was the same age, Of course the house is already looking a bit of a shambles; small toys rolling into unex- pected places, waiting to trip the unwary. The kitchen floor is somewhat patchy where milk has been spilt and hastily wiped up. There are smears and smud- ges on the picture windows and the television screen. Door handles are apt to be a trifle sticky, all of which are minor details, easily remedied, Just so long as our little fellow stays well, happy and reasonably good we shall be more than satisfied. Saturday was the day he came to stay but before his arrival Partner and I managed to get to Milton Fair. It was a perfect day and the attendance was good. Apparently there were more entries of every kind than ever before and there was some- thing going on all the time, either on the track or in the judging rings. The Fair was offi- cially opened by Jean Peterson, recently crowned Dairy Queen of Ontario. This capable and attractive young lady was given a great ovation — which was only natural as she came from a farm at Hornby, just a few miles from Milton. We were very pleased with the demon- strations and the display of live- stock for which the 4-H Clubs and the Junior Farmers had been responsible. It is nice to know so many young girls and boys are taking such a keen in- terest in farming activities. We henr and see so much about in- dv stria! concerns that at times w:• almost feel as if agriculture is taking a back seat. But then seg: go to the Coliseum, or the i'trvr,l Winter Fair, or maybe no r t to than our own local fairs end we come away reassured the,: agriculture is still very r eel alive.. Different, certainly, ].r"m what it used to be but very much in line with all the recent advances made in science, industry and commerce. And that, of course, is as it should be. Agriculture must keep pace with the times And yet, for those who have a yen for old- time farming, there is nothing to stop anyone buying a place M the country and stocking it with a few horses, cows and other livestock, just for the joy of farming — that is, if they can afford it. Farming can be an expensive hobby. A genere - tion ago hobby farmers were •ay ley Religion And Auto Driving John T. Kenna of Chicago, di- rector of the new church safety activities division of the National Safety Council, said in Portland recently that motorists ought to diive as though "God is in the front sat with you." We have ridden with people who drive that way, only they figure that with God on hand, nothing can happen, to them no matter what they do. This, ofcourse, is not what Kenna meant. If one senses the presence of God, his manners and.. behavior will be different than if God is out of mind. Manners and behavior behind automabile wheels have a lot to do with whether thousands of people live or die every year. Kenna and his division of the NSC are working on the moral approach to safety. "We want people to take their religious con- victions, whether they be Catho- lic, Protestant or Jew, and apply them to driving behavior at work and even walking," They are trying to enlist the religious le., lerehip of the nation in such a crusade, believing that it can cut accidents and deaths as much as one third. "Anything that has to do with human be- havior is a moral consideration and quite properly belongs to the churches," says Kenna. There ought to .be a fertile field here, for we have not noticed that persons who have high stan- dards of conduct on most mat- ters apply these standards to automobile driving. Included am- ong those who fail on this score are at least some ministers, who feel that their tight schedules impel them to step on the gas. And there is the lay "pillar" of the church who quietly tells about having tried out his new car on a straight stretch, getting the needle up to 100 miles an hour. Unfortunate_y, many "solid ci- tizens," including those who are faithful in religious matters, fail to see that religion and morality have anything to do with auto- mobile driving. But religion ought to have a bearing on every facet of Iife. It ought to make a difference in how people behave under all circumstances. This should include automobile driv- ing and, as we said' before, this can have a lot to do with whether thousands live or die. — Oregon Journal SALLY'S •SALLIES PERFUMES "X don't know what niy hus- band likes, but I a!ways buy his perfumes," Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q.
