He did everything to make our lit- tle boy and me happy, taking u$ eneewlaerse c0.1,11.deeanstaltee the baby for me when he didn't feel like going out. He seemed to enjoy staying home with us. "This past year he has changed completely. He stays out until the small hours, sometimes all night. I don't know the cause of this change; when I ask him he just says he doesn't know! "Of course, I believe there is another woman in the picture, but I do not know how to cope with the situation. He refuses to take me out with him, and he never stays home. He only eats and sleeps here, SON MISSES HIM "This is very hard on our five- year-old boy, for his father has always been very attentive; now he doesn't see his daddy except about an hour each evening. "I do not want to break up our ;marriage, but I am at the end Of my patience. I try every way I know to win back his love. if you have any advice at all, please print it, I need it so much. N. L.

They age the largest of all owls, approach- ing the size of aneagle. They stand a good two feet high, and their wings spread as much as five and a hale feet. Lacking trees in their Arctic horneland, they alight on knolls and walk along the ground. Their food is chiefly rodents — mice, lemmings, and Arctic hares. In flight they are spectacular. For then their few dark markings do not show. And they appear as snow-vehite navigators of the sky as they flap away on their great wings with t h at paradoxical whispering noiselessness pecul- iar to their kind. . If you see one, look hard and rejoice at the opportunity 'that has been yours. For but once in ,has years do many snowy owls wing their way fax south into the United States, responding as they do to the mysterious life -cycle of the lemmings. And because the big owls are extraoreinaty and because they fly and hunt in the daytime as well as at night, few of them, says the National Audubon Society, escape those who seeing must shoot. Hence few return to their native haunts. One of the great values of beau- ty to mankind is that it can be enjoyed without being possessed —a truth that applies with par- ticular force to all the beauties of nature. Let the snowy owl go in peace to be enjoyed in great- er numbers by more people every succeeding quadrennium—From The Christian Science Monitor.

The new suit, which is almost identical in appearance to the regular suit, uses captive air cells within the soft material to pro- ' Vide the buoyancy. There is nothing to inflate and manufacturer say the buoyancy is permanent.

Sometimes I wish I knew — a condition of temporary boredom might be restful for a change. What prompted that inquiry? Just this: One day last week there was a dense fog, with si forecast of colder weather. The roads were icy and naturally the visibility was poor. And yet this is what happened. A cer- tain gentleman was driving to Fergus on business and, his wife had planned to go with him. When it turned out to be so fog- gy -I remarked — "I suppose this ewful weather upsets your plans for the day?" To my surprise, came the answer, "Oh no, why should I? My husband has to go anyway, I might as well go al- ong for the drive as sit around h o m e • doing nothing!" That xeally set me back on my thee .to be so bored a lolig-eut've in dangerously • foggy weather was considered preferable to stay- ing comfortably at .home. Axed bored . . when there are go many interesting things to see, and hear, and do that one life- time isn't long enough to take them all in. Even what we were doing that day was better than driving around in the fog. Clean- ing furnace pipes, no less, We always clean them at least once during the winter, choosing a mild day so we can let the fur- nace out. It is quite a job as there are four elbows and twenty- one lengths of pipe, extending 'from the cellar to the roof. Gen— erally we don't have too much trouble as Partner has a system that works out pretty well. But this time we had to replace an elbow and one length of pipe — and do you think they would fit together. I'm telling you we were quite warm enough even with the furnace out! But here is something I must tell you girls. There is a white protective paste on the market to rub over your hands on just such an occasion. It works like a charm. Here was I with' hands like a chimney - sweep and yet, a quick wash with soap and water, and the dirt was gone. No ingrained dirt to worry about so no scrubbing or abrasives were necessary. Be- fore we leave the subject of stove and furnace pipes, have you dis- covered what a wonderful pres- ervative aluminum paint can be to your -pipes — so much nicer to look at than the old -type stove- pipe enamel, and so easy to ap- ply. Economical too - half a pint goes a long way. Well now, let's see what else there is to keep boredom at bay For farm folk there are many kinds of activities, Have you noticed there is a regular epi- demic of conventions just now? As Mr. Watsos Porter observed, "it would ba unwise to start any more farm organizations for there aren't any dates left to hold the annual ‚conventions!" However, the ones that are, or have been . held, deserve more than casual attention, If we cannot attend these conventions we can at least read about theme and by so tieing keep Ourselves abreast of agri eilltural activities. Personally I an hoping that something will be done tie stop the "softening tip" prOpOganda that farect folk are being subjected to bypress arid radiej, We are told that farm inconie Is dropping — as if we, •client know it — that cattle esrices are down; the market flooded with milk; potatoes al- most at the give-away level and more along the same lines. So what happens? Having been schooled to expect lower prices, when we have something to sell • we accept what we get with grati- tude, thankful it isn't any less. It ,is a psychological angle that has its effect upon producer and consumer alike. I don't like it. It is the basis for underselling and cut -rale prices. But on with the show. Other activities in the planning stage are Folk Schools and Kate Ait- kin's Hobby Show. I think the Hobby Show was a wonderful idea: To anyone interested in •hbbbies it is inspirational to ,see what other folk are accomplish- - ink — a hobby quite often devel- ops into a profitable side -line. A • woman not far from here started pottery work as a hobby, now she ;working on a commercial bails and has more orders than she can handle. nd then we have the Folk hools, of special interest to 'e folk generally and to young •!'t ielze e in :particular. Folk 4eggiliCig in popularity' ruing as they do fun and adecation; social activities and historical' research; religious ob- servance and cul t u r al pro- grammes. Many young folk who could go to Folk School fail to do, so because they don't know what it is all about. There is one good way to find out — go to it, Experience is still the best Adacher.

ISSUE Path: 0f-LOve Is Qften Butnpy.. The path of true love can be pretty bumpy at times, but it is smooth compared to the path of true hate. When ewe love- birds turn into battling bantams, it's every man (and woman) for himself. , Consider the grounds for div- orce that turned up in divorce courts in 1963. It's a perfect ex- . ample of man's inhumanity to woman, and vice versa. Let's start with Mrs, 'Doris Lindsay, of Boston, who had a pretty good reason to went a divorce. She told the judge that her husband hit her in the face with a cat, rubbed her face with a fish and locked her in the pantry with a mouse. Animals play a big part in divorces. Walter Sprinkel got a divorce when he told the judge his wife insisted on taking her cats to bed with her. But the cat was on the other foot in Detroit, where Mrs. Bathe Dren- ning said that her husband took the cat to bed with him. When the cat bit her on the foot, Drenning forced her to apologize to it, It was a dog that shattered the marital bliss of the Boos. Mrs. Goldie Boo said that her hus- band insisted on having Tootsie, her little pup, sit at the break- fast table and lap up his coffee. And another type of living thing sent Cupid scurrying for his life from the Kenneth Nor- ton household. Mrs. Norton said that her husband spent all his pay on food for his 10,000 earth- worms. A London man got his div- orce when he told how his lit- tle woman kicked him, bit him, threw a poker at him, broke a pot over his head and stuck a knife in his back. One Merrick Gillroy was a little apprehensive when he no- ticed that his wife went to bed with a butcher knife tucked handily beneath her pillow, Gil- lory said he couldn't sleep. He got his divorce.• • Cruelty often assumed strange shapes. In Miami, Mrs, Doris Denio sued for divorce because her husband dyed his hair green. Denio is an entertainer; but his wife said that green hair, no matter what the excuse, doesn't contribute to the peace and happiness of a marriage. A Chicago wife got a divorce because she swiped her hus- band's' tonAter Mrs. Helen Lucas took it — as a precaution so he wouldn't date another wo- man — her husband beat her when she wouldn't • tell him where she hid it. One marriage that had a close shave — then lost — was that of some Browns. A Mrs. Frank Brown told the judge that her husband lorced her to shave him every day for 13 years.. Husbands' laziness is frequent- ly cited as grounds for divorce. ° Mrs. Erma Gentle said her hus- band exercised so much with dumb -bells he was too exhaust- ed for anything else. And Mrs. Bessie Sigel declared that her husband made her serve him his meal, cut into bite -size mor- sels, as he reclined on the couch. On the other hand, a hus- band was granted a divorce be- cause, he affirmed, his wife play- ed skittles on Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights as well as on Sunday afternoons. Among the oldest' couples to split were the Kochs. Mrs. Marie Kochs, 80, won a divorce by testifying that her 80 -year-old husband let her lie without help for four months after she fell down stairs. "Those things add up," she said. And' probably the shortest - lived marriage to end in 1953 was that of the Hughletts, Mrs. Lillian Hughlett won her div- orce when she told how her marriage went sour a few hours after they were united. It hap- pened as they began their honeymoon and stopped to eat. Her husband wouldn't let her put lemon in her tea Divorce granted, REAL POVERTY A well-known woman . was famous for her charity to those less fortunate than herself. She couldn't bear to know . of the distress of Others without doing something te relieve it. She re- turned to her 'table in a night club recently and informed her husband that she had just given $100 to the woman in charge of the ladies' Cloak -room. "What's the matter with you?" asked her husband, a n g r i 1 y. "What's the idea of spending money like that?" The woman's eyes began to, dim with tears. "The poor thing," she explained, "told me she had no television set."
