WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1958 HOLIDAYS PLANNED? HERE ARE SOME ideas for you to make use of this summer when you're planning for your vacation. Of course they're good advice for a winter holiday, too. Cancel all milk and newspaper deliveries; old newspapers on the doorstep are a certain indication of an empty house. Arrange to have the lawn mowed periodically. Aak a friend or neighbour to visit the house occasionally to see that all is in order. Valuable jewellery and silverware should be left with a bank for safekeeping. Do not leave lights burning; during daylight hours they in- dicate an empty house. Professional burglars read society columns. Ask your news- paper not to mention the fact that you are away. (Of course, the newspaper will appreciate a word from you when you get back, so that a mention may be made in the personal column then). Report any evidence of theft or break-in promptly; even if nothing is taken the information is of value to the police. Using these suggestions may insure the safety of your home and belongings while you're away from home. GREENER ON THE OUTSIDE THE WORLD'S BEST and most usable wisdom by and by gets itself into a story. Then and only then it seems to become a help to mankind. A farmer had become tired of his farm. He lived on the place all his life. He was born there. When a boy he drove the cows in the field, hoed the turnips, swam in the creek, and carried his books through the field to the box of a school down the road, As a young man he plowed and harrowed in the spring, made hay and harvested his wheat and hauled fodder to the cat- tle in the winter. He had brought his wife to the old place and three children were born there. Now he was sick of the place. Entirely sick of it, He dreamed of a restful spot where he could spend the rest of his days in comfort. So he went to a real estate agent in town and listed his farm for sale. The agent drove out and looked the place over. The property was in very good condition and the agent said he would have no difficulty in selling it. When the farmer got his next week's edition of his country newspaper, he read the real estate advertisements. It stated that his farm was for sale. It was all fertile—there were 40 acres of fine pasture, a fine house, barn and other buildings. It was close to town and had a telephone. It was well stocked with pigs, horses, cattlle and chickens. In fact it was an ideal farm and was an excellent buy for anyone, The next day the farmer called at the agent's office and said: "Say, I read your advertisement and as near as I can figure, that is exactly the kind of a farm I have been looking for all my life. I'll keep it myself." —(Stettler Independent). MAKE DAIRY FOODS DAILY FOODS!

(8111) Father's Day is but a pallid imi- tation of that great commercial orgy known as Mother's Day, but apparently it is with us to stay. Each year father receives gifts that he neither needs nor wants, and before the wrappings have been put away, he realizes the family has put him in hock for the price of said gifts. * * * I don't know what the rest of you birds want for Father's Day, but I know what would please me most. The most thoughtful gift the family could produce for me would be if they packed a lunch, got into the car, and disappeared for the day. * * I find the whole business of Fa- ther's Day revolting. The There existence of such a day is an in- dication of the new low to which the father has sunk in the family unit. Just a few decades ago, every day was father's day, and there was no fooling about it. * :, * When I was a kid, there was none of this darn' foolishness of father helping around the house. Nowadays fathers scrub the kitch- en floor on their day off, and help with the dishes after dinner. In the good old days, father didn't have a day off in the first place, and mother woudn't have let him help with the dishes, in the sec- ond, because she knew her place, and his. • * Perhaps it's the increase in his leisure time that has turned the head of the house into a sub- stitute baby-sitter, a domestic menial, a handy wailing -wall, and in general, a pale reflection of his dignified, respected male fore- bears. * :k * Until a couple of decades ago, father worked a six-day, sixty -hour week, but he didn't get ulcers. And do you know why? Because he didn't see as much of his family as the poor, cripple - gutted creat- ure who brings home the bacon today. * '* Nowadays, father gets a day or half-day off. Does he potter in the garden? Does he go fishing? Does he get away for a game of golf? Would it were so. He is kicked into the street with the children, while mother does what- ever modern women do around home, with $800 worth of labour- saving machinery. *: 4:* There is nothing more pitiable than the sight of a father, on his day off, wandering forlornly about a supermarket, trailed by two or three little monsters of children, as he does the weekend shopping. When he gets home, he is allowed to put the groceries away, and spend an hour mowing the lawn, before dinner. After he has put the kids to bed, he is supposed to emerge from his chrysalis, as a full-fledged social butterfly, and go off and get all juiced up at somebody's Saturday night party. • * * No wonder nerves are rubbed raw today. In the old days, fath- ers weren't particularly concerned with "getting to know the child- ren". They didn't worry about their children liking them. They took 8. T. Smiley) it: for granted and everybody was a lot happier. When my Dad got home from work, he didn't have to set the table, run around looking for the kids, then jump in the car and go and get a quart of milk. Nor did he have to "pick up a few things on the way home", because moth- er looked after her own shopping. a *: No, sir, when my Dad got home from work, he was greeted aff- ectionately, but politely, and left alone. He retired to HIS chair, with HIS paper, until he was call- ed for supper. During the meal, he was not forced to listed to a 20 - minute harangue about the terrible day mother had had. Nor did he have to break up quarrels among the children. Nor did he have to jump up and make the tea because mother was called to the phone and was still there, talking about the bake sale, 20 minutes later. * An on the weekend, my Dad wasn't expected to turn into a party boy. He was tired Saturday night and went to bed. If he felt like going to church be did. If he didn't, he didn't. But he wasn't pestered all day Sunday by kids wanting to go for a swim, (Continued on Page Eight) Business and Professional Directory DENTISTS DR, H. H. COWEN DENTAL SURGEON L.D.S., D.D.S.
