HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1954-04-15, Page 6"Dear Anne Hirst: For four years* I've been dating a young man in his late 20's. We had our plans all made; we did with- out a lot of things, and saved :some money. Now he has de - aided he wants to forget the whole thing — because, I be- lieve, his family are very jealous of his marrying. "I have dated other boys, but found it hard to adjust myself. He, too, has been dating another girl, which leads him into a fast and drinking crowd. He still manages to see me every day (as he used to) and we have had sneak dates many times — be- cause he is afraid someone will .see us and tell his family. "When he is with me he leads me to believe that I am the only one he cares for, but he just won't DO anything about it! He says he isn't having a good time, and will stop seeing this girl; but he doesn't keep his promise. Now we have reached the point where he lies to me and to others as well. . . . I even tried going away, but it didn't work. What should I do? "WORRIED" " What self - respecting girl "' would marry a weakling? If e this young man loves you e enough, he may be able to be- * come a strong, honest charac- e ter. Until he does (if he can) e he is not fit to marry any girl. * When a man in his late 20's * allows' his family to run his e life, he is still an adolescent e with no backbone. When he "s deceives his people, and lies e to his fiancee, he has no in - e tegrity, You may still love e him, and he care for you — m but he does not care enough a to develop the sturdy quali- f ties that every good husband * must have to keep any girl " contented. Unless he will " stand on his own feet, and be " honest with you all, marrying * hizn could bring you only a ' precarious satisfaction. The only way to put• him to " the test is to refuse to see him " at all. You are not the girl " to enjoy clandestine meetings; in your heart, you must des- * pise them. Once you were his " fiancee, whom he apparently " honored; how can he honor you now, if you are a party to " this double life he is leading? Tell him that now it is YOU "' who are forgetting the whole " thing." You will not accept a " second-best, a spurious love " that dishonors its beloved and "' adds deceit to that. " He cannot evaluate the quality of his affection until " he has to go on without you. * So remove yourself from the * scene — and wait to learn the " truth. v * " DOUBTING WIFE "Dear Anne Mast: I am 2S, the mother of two children, and considered attractive. But late- ly my husband has seemed indif- ferent toward me. Night after night I sit at home with the children, while he goes out, and several times he has conte home intoxicated and with lipstick on his collar. "I have discussed this with several people, and they have' advised divorce. I do not be- lieve in divorce because of the children, so I am writing you for advice. I always read your column, and agree with your ad- vice to others;' Thank' you; R. E. B."

However, the duck didn't have a sweet tooth and turned away after the initial taste. a I am shocked by the idea " of a wife and mother contem- s plating divorce because her * husband shows signs of having * been with other women. Ob- * viously, yours has. But obvi- oust j-, too, you have no idea " of the difficulties involved in " obtaining evidence that your v husband has been unfaithful; * you niay snap at that conclu- " sion, but in itself infidelity is * costly and very, very hard to • prove. • It is more in order to exam- " ine yourself, to find out why " your husband had rather be " with others than at home. Un- " less he is a first-class rounder, * no man is tempted by anyone " else if he finds sympathy, re- * laxation and fun at home. If * you cannot put your finger on " any lack in yourself, ask him " frankly why he seeksenter- " tainment elsewhere. * How, too, can any self-respect- " ing wife discuss her husband's * misbehavior with anyone else? " That is a private , matter be- * tween the two, and should re- * main so. Too many wives * have been glibly rushed into s divorces which they have later e regretted with all their hearts.

I had just come back from town. Every- thing was in order .and I was preparing to make a cup of tea. Partner was in the sitting -room. I heard a queer, rumbling noise — and then Partner's voice — "What on earth was that?" he exclaimed. He went first to the window and then to the front door. Not a thing in sight — not in the air, on the road or in our lane. And yet it had sounded as if a heavy transport had been heading straight for the house. We were completely mystified. However, the kettle was boiling and a cup of tea helps any situation. As we sat enjoying our tea I turned on the ,radio for the news. But the radio was dead — power off. Just a minor interruption, we thought, it will probably come on again in a few minutes it ,being a . perfect day and no high winds to disrupt the ser- vice. We waited about thirty minutes, then Partner began to thinkabout chores and no pow- er •for the milking machines. So I tried to phone the hydro, office. But the phone was, as dead as the . hydro. "What in heck is going on around here?" said Partner. "I don't know," I an- swered, "but I guess it'stime we found out." I got in the car and headed for town. • But I didn't get very far. What I saw in the lane made me go back for Partner in a hurry. Right down the Iane Was a fan- tastic tangIe of wires, hanging in loops and strings from the hydro and wires clear to the ground. We went down to the road. There we found the sourde of the trouble. Our telephone wires cross to the far side of the road.' Normally there are two wires — now there was only one. The mystery was part- ly explained, It was evident some vehicle, with a high pro- jection, had gone along the road, caught the telephone wire with such force that the wire had snapped back, broken in three places up our lane' and twisted itself around the hydro poles and wires. No wonder we were without power or;::telephone. In fact the hydro was off right up the line, I went on my way down town and a hydro servict xnan Was out in short order and soon had the mess of wires un- tangled. Then the telephone man came out, looked at the damage and decided nothing could be done that night as it would be necessary to put in a whole new line right from the house to the road. So that was that. It explained the ghostly rumblings we had heard. It was also tangible evi- dence that too little attention le paid to the height of loaded vehicles travelling the highways as this was the third time our telephone line had been broken where it crosses the road. We don't know what did it last wok, but the time before it was the boom on a well -drill- ing machine. So, we have reach ed the stage where anything can happen, on the road or twenty feet above it. But I was glad it happened (Monday and not Tues. day, as that day I had to go to Toronto again, Tuesday made up icor Mon- day, Business over I had 'Vory nice little visit with Daughter sand our .grandson. Nearly Ave ISSUE 16 — 1954 months old now, so he gets more interesting all the time — and everyone says he looks like grandpa! Wednesday there was that awful accident near Cooksville involving a cement truck, a freight train and a Deisel pas- senger. We listened to the de- tails on the ,radio and although the name was not mentioned we had an idea the truck in- ' volved belonged to the con- struction company Bob works for. However, we did not think he was connected with it in any way. Nor was he , . . before the accident. But yesterday Bob -"and Joy were up for a visit and we learnt that Bob and two other men had been sent to the scene of the accident and had been busy all that day clearing away the wreckage of the cement - mixing truck. It was not a pretty job. But it could have been so much worse. With one freight car loaded with dyna- mite it doesn't take much ima- gination to figure what could have happened. In between these out of the ordinary events I managed to get an extra big washing and ironing done, also went to a quilting party. Another day Partner cleaned the kitchen ' stovepipes and I cleaned the flues — the same day as an- other house burnt to the ground in this district. We also got in another ton of coal — and that really hurt. But With spring still hiding behind that mythi- cal corner we thought we had better he prepared. And then carne the first day of spring — and what a day! I literally slid into town to get my shopping done early before the weather and crowds got too bad. I might better have •waited --- everyone else had the same idea. But then who's to know. No one can tell anything about the weather any more. Mold hamburger patties on a cookie sheet; then freeze. Re- move patties from the cookie sheet and pack in a plastic bag, tightly secured with a rubber band. Return to freezer. Take out one -or a dozen—hamburg- ers as you need them. Sun 'n' Fun!
