ADMIT PARENTS' ARGUMENT * I anticipate you will have • a hard time trying to change * your parents' minds. Your * father, especially, is going te * be difficult to convince. Like * many thoughtful parents, he * propably feels there is "bad * blood" in the boy's family * which is apt to reflect in his * conduct later on; he will also * object to his own grandchil- * dren inheriting such a strain. * I know both ideas seem harsh * and far-fetched but I expect * neither has not occured to you. * Marriage is not just the * union of two people; it is the * merging of two groups of an- * cestors through their children * and later generations. This is * how your parents are viewing * the situation, and you will, I * am sure, acknowledge its im- * portance. • As to the young man's econ- * oink promise, your father be- * lieves that a well-rounded edu- * cation is the best preparation * for a respected career and * security, and I agree. One * must admit, however, that "big * money" is sometimes earned * from lowly beginnings. The * boy's acceptance of a manual * job offered when he needed it, his proven ambition, • and his * responsible attitude toward the * future, are in his favor. • The next two or three years * can prove you two right in * your Judgment, or wrong. 4' Remember, too, that you are * both very young to be so sure * that your love will endure. * Though you sem remarkably * mature, you are certainly too * young to be dating just one boy. * I could wish you might see * each other occasionally, If you * promise to see others, too, and * not consider yourself engaged , * to this one, your parents may consider the suggestion. At any rate, ask them both to * read this opinion. * If they are determined, how- * ever, to separate you complete- • ly, your xnutual faith should * sustain you, as it would if the * boy were away in service. When you and your parents disagree on any serious question, tell Anne Priest about it. She hair the viewpoint of both generations, and can explain one to the other, Address, her at Box 1, 123 Eight- eenth St., New Toronto, Ont. MADE IT ALONE It was Memorial Day, 1911, in Indianapolis. The world's great- est daredevil drivers with their mechanics climbed into their racing cars for the famous 500 - mile classic. But one car had only one man in its cockpit! In,, was Ray Harroun, and he was going to race that grueling grind without a mechanic, alone! "He'll never make it!" the fans told each other. "It's impossible! He's gotta have a mechanic in there to tell him when another car is coming up behind him!" But Ray Harroun had different ideas. "Too much weight cuts down speed," he declared, and. swung into the race. The ,cars roared around the speedway and 500 miles later, the checkered flag flashed down on the winner. It was Ray Harroun, the lone driver! He had done it without the aid of a second man in the cockpit! And strangely enough, Ray Harroun was aware of every- thing going on behind him in the great race. For that day in In- dianapolis, he had perfected and suecessfuly used the first rear- view mirror!

Why, oh why, is there always such a rush to the scene of a fire? I feel the urge myself, al- though I don't give in to it—too many cars around certainly ham- per the fire-fighters in their work. The attraction of a fire must surely be in response to a primitive instinct in man. Young children always have to be taught its danger for the instinct of almost every child is to play with fire. Maybe Dr, Brock Chisholm could supply the an- swer. But back to driving and driv- ing hazards. I always notice the safest time to drive is when driv- ing conditions are bad. There is more courtesy, more considera- tion between motorists then than at any other time—and certainly less speeding. Which proves that road and weather conditions are less of a hazard than fair-weather drivers. However, when the weather is bad it is a nice, comfortable time to stay at home and get caught up on jobs that we know should be done, and, we promise our - Now!

There is one common cause for many people not making a will . . . just plain superstition. Be- lieve me, you won't die one day sooner for making a will. In fact, you may live longer because your conscience will be at rest. You will have, that comfortable feel- ing that your affairs are in order. Your blood pressure may drop several degrees as a result! Try it some time—you will be sur- prised at the difference it makes. Is This here Television Is Heading ? Practical television is hardly twenty years old. But we have come a long way from the early programmes of people sweating and blinking under blinding lights, when a handful of viewers were excited by pictures which to -day .would make them want to smash the set. What will television pro- grammes be like in another twenty years? Great technical developments will bring the viewer pro- grammes more varied and more vivid than are possible to -day. One development is only just round the corner. The television camera should become as light and portable as the movie - camera of to -day. With "germanium crystals" replacing the cumber- some valves now used, the space required for complex apparatus may be halved and the weight reduced to a tenth. Already in the U.S.A. a television set with no ordinary tubes has been demonstrated. Both cameras and receivers will become portable to a de- gree that hardly seems possible to -day. One task for these new lightweights in the near future will be . transmitting pictures from rockets fired high above the earth. Before twenty years have passed viewers may get "live" pictures transmitted from fifty, a hundred, or even thou- sands of miles above the earth. When the first man -carrying rocket takes off, viewers all over the world may be able not only to watch the take -off, but also see what the world looks like frorn the rocket. Looking far- ther ahead, viewers may be given a real "trip round the moon," not with clever studio faking, but from a rocket circl- ing moon, Germanium crystals are much more robust than radio tubes now in use. They will be able to survive the shocks of a rocket travelling at thousands of miles an hour. Long before twenty years have pased. I expect to find the whole world linked for televi- sion. Within a few years Ame- rica and Europe should be link- ed by relay stations across the North Atlantic. It will be poss- ible fon television cameras to cover events anywhere' from the Argentine to Newfoundland, from Ireland to the Iron Cur- tain, writes Professor A. M. Low in "Answers." World boxing championships and football matches.' will be seen simultaneously — but at a different times by their clocks — in twenty different coun- tries, In twenty years the net- work may well embrace. Africa, Asia, and Australia, so that any event of importance anywhere can be shown on countless mil- lions of screens. By that time planes will be able to fly round the world in 24 hours, and I forsee the com- pletion of a world-wide televi- sion network being celebrated by a roundethe-clock pro- gramme such as "Follow the Sunrise Round the World." Colour television has already been commercially demonstrated arid will probably be universal. It will add to the attractiveness of the underwater programmes I foresee' being transmitted. Television cameras are being built already to work 100 feet and more under the sea for pur- poses of exploration, salvage, and submarine rescue. Pictures from these cameras have been transmitted not mere- ly to the ship above, but relay- ed to the shore. I expect view- ers in the future to see in their homes all the wonders of the tropical underwater seascape, perhaps with the commentator in an aqualung explaining what they are seeing from the bot- tom of the sea! Only in the last few years has it been possible to explore the wonderfully beautiful and var- ied scenery of the sea-bed. Now we have the means to bring this world of colour to every home. Once the seascape- has lost its novelty, producers will prob- ably consider the possibility of using it as a background, and we may have whole television plays acted under water. The mermaids of the 1974 television pantomine may meet King Nep- tune in real water, instead of having to rely on waving trans- parent curtains to give the effect of being under the sea.
