Lately I'm 00 impatient with the children, and 1 get so upset that my stomach is tied in knots. Lit- tle things annoy me something awful, and then I find fault with everybody instead of praising the good in them as I should. "I feel that my husband and I need to get out together more, but his work prevents our plan- ning it. We can't pay a baby- sitter because he is a fiend for, saving nickels. He has never helped to discipline the children, it all rests with rne. I am, I'm fraid, on the verge of collapse, "I cannot seem to give either my husband or the children the love they need. My mother was never affectionate nor demon- strative. I don't want to get like that, but I'm on my way to be- ing worse! Until lately I've never been out of the house al- one. But this semester I've signed up for a Parent -Educa- tion class, and one in volley ball. Is this wise? I need some kind of help. "What would you suggest? I an only 25, but I feel 60!

There is one group I would like to join, but the ring - leader's boy friend likes me! "I don't like him, but all the girls are so cool to me now. It hurts terribly, because they are really nice girls. "How can I win their friend- ship? MARY" * It is a mistake to try to *efheleeeyourself into any group • • 't ,ret; it is a bit early for * that, and besides, such cliques * usually make the first move. * Be pleasant to all the students, „ *ebeeteteoncentrate on your stud- * ies and give them all the en- * ergy you have. As the girls 4' observe your industry (and * they will) they will come to * respect your application, at * least; friendship is apt to fon- * low, * Later on you can practice * those little ways to show * your liking that you would * employ with any other nice * girls, Ask one or two occa- * sionally to advise you in your * classes. (We all like to be * thought superior, and this ap- * proach almost never fails). * After school, invite one to * have a coke with you, or make * some similar gesture, Those * cliques are sometimes for- * midable, remember, and all * this will take time. * You will, of course, avoid * this boy, and if he persists, * tell him off. The word gets 4' around. 4. * If you are discouraged with yourself, analyze your shortcom- ings coldly, and do something about them. Anne Hirst stands by to help and cheer you on.

Radi Je, ags Norman -Paul, who thinks up the Durante gags, rates this ' item as one of Jimmy's great • laugh -getters. The sweetest guy in show business was describing the celebrities at the opening of the opera in New York, "Lady Mendi," began Jimmy, "wore a diamond tiara in her hair; Mrs. Vanderbilt a ruby tiara, but all eyes were on me." e "What dis you have on your head?" asked Don Ameche. "Popcorn," replied Jimmy, "Some guy in the balcony had a leaky bag," Paul Henning, who writes the Burns & Allen show, said their best laugh maker never got on the air, Afraid of censorship, they snipped it off the tape. ' Gracie was at a cestumer's looking for masquerade suits for herself and George when she noticed an interesting out- fit. "That cowboy suit hanging there might look good on George." The costumer says, "That's from the picture, The Outlaw, and I can give you, Gracie, the costume Jane Russell wore." "Oh no, thank you," said Gracie. "I could never fill Jane Russell's shoes." ,. • 'st, ; To BRITISH PORTS: IP Th ift-5 aso First Class from $192 ROUND TRIP FOR AS trine AS Tourist Class from $140 SAHA 1GS tes IP TO FRENCH PORTS: First Class from $217.50 Tourist Class from $155 VESSEL From HEW YORK From HALIFAX.

Time was when he lived a more or less carefree existence. He could take • off after a rabbit without a sec- ond thought, or have a friendly .0 early morning frolic with Lassie across the way. But not any more — at least not if he lives on a farm anywhere near a busy highway. Conditions for dog - living have changed just as they have for humans, but unfortu. nately many a dog doesn't know • . it. He goes after his rabbit as usual. If the rabbit runs across the road the dog runs too. 'His one aim and object the pursuit of the rabbit. Too often that is his undoing. It isn't the rabbit that gets killed but the dog — • ' by a passing car. That evident- ly happened at our gateway yes- terday — but not to either of - our dogs, thank goodness — al- though the little dog that was killed was very much like our Honey. When Dee and Art drove in they thought it was Honey, • -but Honey, by her own instinct, has reached the stage when she knows enough to keep away from the road. There was a time when she loved to run down to the gate, retrieve the evening newspaper and bring it home. Now she never goes after it un- less 1 am with her. Tippy, too, keeps well within bounds as, with rheumatism in one leg, she seems to realize she isn't as fleet of foot as she used to be. If only someone could perfect a breed of dog — and cat — that would be content to stay right around the farm buildings! Take a drive along the highway almost any day of the week and one is prac- stically certain to come across a mangled dog or cat, And how one hates to see it, Not only has somebody's pet been killed but the motoring public has been endangered by its presence on • the road. A dog runs out from a ditch; the motorist swerves to avoiel it — as a result it is some- titnes the motorist and not the • dog who gets killed. I don't think I would like having a puppy to train these days -- too eurigei responsibility involving both man and beast. ' • • Well, neither Partner nor 1 . got down to the Royal Winter Fair, I had been looking forward to it for some time but we just couldn't make the grade. But I notice Halton County did pretty well without the moral support of our presence. The Wheat - King's Crown and the Queenns Guineas both coming to Halton Exhibitors made us feel very proud of our little county — even though we still have a soft spot in our hearts for Western exhib. itors. The first prize pumpkin also came from Halton and no doubt there were numerous awards for pedigreed cattle -- only we haven't got around to studying the prize list yet. What with championship win- ners, a n d other outstanding awards in agriculture, plus the glowing write-up the Financial Post gave our County town of Milton just recently, we really feel as if Halton is on the map. So often, in the past, when ask- ed for our address I have been met with a blank star after hav- ing said "Milton". But I think that day will soon be gone for- ever, especially when Highway 401 goes through. As to that, we are beginning to wonder if it ever will! With so many costly bridges to rebuild how can the Highway Department get around to straight construction jobs? Hurricane Hazel' will make her- self felt 'tor many months to come. We had a busy time on our farm last week. Among other things the ploughing was finish- ed, a veal calf shipped, the last lot of coal delivered (we hope) and a celebration for Partner's birthday. Then on Sunday we had a visitor for dinner. Hardly had he gone when Dee, Art, Dave, Jciy and Bob all arrived about the same time, Ten min- utes later along came friends from Oakville. They all stayed for supper. Dave was put into rompers and explored the house — on his hands and knees. We hastily rounded up waste-papet baskets, ashtraysfrom low tablet and the latest magazines. Where ever Dave went the dogs follow ed but IVIitchie-White kept wet out of his way. Once, while stand ing at the coffee table Dave tool two or three steps by hirnseb but he didn't realize he hat achieved such a breath-takire accomplishment! However suppose it won't be long ,no before he takes to the perpeis dialler way of life. And thee before we know it, his baby day will be left behind. Anybody got a Christmas cae tus in bloom? Mine is loadeit down with buds, I am keepire it in a cool place, trying to re tard growth until Christmas. But am afraid in spite of all 1 call do it will come to full blows ahead of time. One of these time I hope to get around to counting the buds. And that will be quiet a job. MERRY MENAGERIE "There they go again—still try. Ing to prove they can swim circles _around mpw Taking It All In -- Like many another parent, Queen Juliana, of The Netherlands, right, eavesdrops as her daughters tell Santa Claus what they'd like For Christmas. Princess Margariet, with -plaid scarf, topics on as her sister, Princess Marijke, shakes hand with St. Nicholas. Behind the queen is Trygve Lie, former UN secretary general, who also turned out to greet St. Nicholas on his arrival in Amsterdam. t h e I 1 1 jltf: r a it t a • That's what is happening right now and 'round the clock somewhere in Canada. In the average yea; the insurance business handles more than $75 million in fire losses—quite aside from other claims It is the size of the loss figure which regulates the rates for every different type of fire, automobile and casualty insurance in various parts of Canada, If losses increase out of proportion to earnings, then insurance rates go up. On the other hand, if losses fall off, rates decrease. In effect, Canadians collectively determine their insurance costs through their care or carelessness.
