"Dear Anne Hirst: For some
time now you have been printing
more letters than usual from
girls who are dating married
men. They all seem to be caught
in the same web, and `can't give
him up.' Perhaps the experience
of a friend of mine will show
them what they can expect.
"This woman was married
and had a little girl. Her hus-
band drank too much, so she
decided to go back to work,
chiefly,, I think, to have some-
thing else to think about.
"She became secretary tc a
married man with three child-
ren. He said his wife didn't
unedrstand him (the old gag)
and asked her for dates. He
lavished gifts on her, and fin-
ally promised he would get a
divorce if she would, too,
COULDN'T STAY TRUE
"They both got their freedom,
and married. It lasted just
three years. He dominated her
completely; they went where he
pleased, entertained only his
friends ... Then he started see-
ing other women.
"She divorced him, and is back
working again somewhere else.
"Her former husband married
a nice girl and they are raising
a family. Her own little girl
(now 13) sees her father often
and adores him and his wife.
"My friend is heartbroken,
and looks ten years older.
"Maybe some of your readers
who are dating married men
will see in this instance one
more proof that a married man
who will cheat one wife will
cheat another.

The We,. ker Sex?
Says You!
Science, at last, has proved
that women are better than
men — and man admits it!
Dr. Ashley Montagu, profes-
sor of anthropology at Rutgers
University, told members of
Holy Blossom Temple that sci-
ence had disproved the myth
that woman was "long on hair.
short on brains."
Men were stronger in such
things as lifting, pushing and
pulling, but now 90 per cent of
that sort of work was done by
machinery. In any case, man
paid a terrible price for his
extra strength by using his
energy so fast that he burned
out much more quickly than the
female,
Females lived longer than
males, even though they were
more subject to "certain disord-
ers. In the 17 S.,'the relative life
expectancy figures were 651/2
years for men and 72 for wo-
men.
Besides working less hard
than women, men were insene
sitive and lacked an under-
standing of a woman's work in
the home. A day's housework
exhausted the mere male, and
by the time he had finished a
second day around the home,
he was ready for hospital,
Women were able to cry, and
this restored their equilibrium.
Men did not, and so . got ulcers
and boils.
From an intelligence point of
view, girls were always supe-
rior in schools. They were bet-
ter students right up to college
age, and kept about two years
ahead of the boys.
But why was it that men had
achieved so much? Were not
women capable of just as much
achievement? Undoubtedly, yes.
But they did not have wives,
as the men had, to urge them
along and inspire them!

HIS SYSTEM
Jack Dubois was in a tavern
in the Texas cow country when
a sweet young thing advanced
toward the weighting machine,
Before stepping on the scales
she tossed a challenge Jack's
way. "How much do you think
1 weigh?"
Although she was medium of
build he guessed 116 pounds.
Then she turned to an older
man and asked him. He said,
"Recken about 131 pounds."
She weighed 132.
Jack asked the old fellow,
"How did you come so close?"
"Shucks, Jack," he said, "I've
bought and sold a lot of cattle
in nny day. And 1 allus judge
'em by the hind quarters first."

We have just enjoyed a lovely
weekend — insofar as weather
was concerned — and I expect
the same thought was in every-
one's mind — • how different
from the week before when the
devastating effect of Hurricane
Hazel was making itself felt
more and more -with every pass-
ing hour. There has been ;' so
much written and broadcast
about the storm you would
think there could be nothing
left to tell and yet every day
more details come to light about
places that were not even men-
tioned at first. The uther ' day,
for instance, I got a letter from
my sister, now living on he
outskirts of Oshawa. We had
not read of any damage being
done at Oshawa, nor did Kath-
leen mention floods, but she did
say the power went off at 5:45
p.m. Friday and on Sunday
night, up to the time she wrote,
it was still off. So in her apart-
ment for two days anyway
there was no heat, light, radio
or means of cooking a meal.
Friends in another district had.
invited Kathleen and son Klemi
to dinner Saturday and Sunday.
Afterwards, of course; they had
to retprn to their cold, com-
fortless apartment.
• Another day a young fellow
carne here who had spent the
weekend up near L.',wen Sound,
Driving back he saw three aeci-
.lents near Orangevill , On one
occasion a car overtook him and
then careened across the road
and turned over in a water-
filled ditch. He helped the trap-
ped occupants to safety through
the window of the car other-
wise they must surely have
drawned.
Dee and Art were here on
Sunday and they did not suffer
an inconvenience at all --at
least not in regard to the storm.
Their trouble had been with
Davey who had a uad cold or
slight congestion with a tem-
,erature of 102 degrees. How-
ever, penicillin saved the day
and David is now as good as
new. Sometimes I wonder how
we mothers ever raised our
families before penicillin was
discovered.
Bob and Jay came up last
Friday as I was unable to get
out todo my weekly shopping.
The only storm azmage in their ,
Oakville home was from rain
driving in uncle]. the doors and
windows.
But on the farm Partner is
still fixing fences and filling in
gulleys. And there is still the
bridge in the lane to repair — or
rather the approaches to it. It
will probably take quite a few
loads of fill to build it up again
properly:'
Another thing,• my recent
severe attack of lumbago, from
which I am now thankfully re-
covering, is directly attributable
to Hurricane Hazel. Thinking
Partner had enough to do out-
side I was paddling around in
the flooded cellar trying to get
the furnace going. And that
finished me for awhile. And now
Partner's neuritis, which is al-
ways with him, has become much
worse. So, while our troubles
are negligible compare 1 with
the a or souls in the disaster
areas yet they are real enough
to have caused us considerable
inconvenience ° and discomfort.
And T .oppose that applies to
quite a number of other farms
end farm families.
How helpless can one get
without being really sick? Doc-
tors and hospitals perform near -
mire ' :s in many apparently
hopeless cases involving 'linen
and ' accidents and yet many
cases of cheonic arthritis and
neuritis still resist every known
treatment. Arthritis alone, so
statisics say, is responsible for
more lost man-hours of work
than any other disability. It is
also the last word in unpredic-
ability. Partner can carry a full
pail of milk . with the greatest
of ease yet he is almost help-
less when it comes to handling
his own knife and fork at the
dinner table. It doesn't really
make sense — but there it its,
Science moves along, some-
times slowly, sometimes with
startling rapidity. As for in-
stance in the case of weeds.
Partner has always been oppos-
ed to chemical destruction of
weeds. He believes in control
but not destruction on the
theory that the fibrous roots of
weeds are necessary to prevent
soil erosion. So we were natur-
ally interested in an article
published recently on beetles
and weeds. Experiments have
been taking place in California
and British Columbia for des-
troying St. Johnswort by intro-
ducing a certain type of insect
which feeds only on this par-
ticular weed. It has been found
a cheaper and mote effective
method of eradication t h a n
spraying with chemicals. The
insects do not attack any other
form of vegetation. It is thought
plant life and the insect world
are so clearly allied that future
experiments -nay lead to the
natural eradication of most _ of
our troublesome weeds. The
Parasitic Branch of the Domin-
ion department of Biology is
now experimenting with couch
grass. Poison ivy, r: -,.,weed and
wild oats are also on the list.

"CANADA AT ROME" .. , Here in Italy, ht
_the warm tones of a friendly language, Canada
was talked about ... and read about, too. From
conversation in the shadows of the Coliseum to
enthusiastic reviews in the press, Canada was on
the lips and in the minds of thousands of Romans.
Through the international language of art, the
Seagram Collection of Paintings of Canadian Cities interpreted to
the world the dramatic growth of our 'nation and the vitality
of our citizens. Above all, the Seagram Collection earned many new
friends for Canada by bringing a fuller understanding of
things Canadian to peoples of other lands.
