"Dear Anne Hirst: I'd like to
question a reader asked lately:
'Why do men today prefer cheap
girls?' (It's the second time I've
seen such a query in your col-
umn).
"Men who seek out cheap girls
are cheap themselves. They pick
up the trait from companions
they're thrown with, perhaps in
the armed forces. They get bored
with the ' life, and some think
they can find release in a bottle
of booze. It doesn't work out
that way.
"Too many citizens think serv-
ice men are mostly drunkards.
Here's one that isn't. I've been
in the service 10 years, and I
haven't found the girl I want to
marry yet. Maybe I want too
much?
"I want a girl who can cook
and keep house, who isn't bad to
look at -and not a bar -fly. As
for liquor, I hardly touch the
stuff'... I work in the medical
department of the Air Force.
SERGEANT"
a Not only in the service. but
® in all walks of life a man can
O pick up traits from those with
h whom he associates. The man
P of character chooses as his
® friends men of the same type;
O the weakling with no moral or
P intellectual resources follows
' where other such men guide
O him—and then blames them
a for his lapses.
P The same rule applies when
0 men date girls. As you soundly
t put it, a cheap man likes cheap

FRANTIC YOUNG MOTHER
"Dear Anne Hirst: I had a
baby, and its father deserted
me. Later, I married a man who
promised he would be good to
my child.... He has broken his
word in every way there is. He
mistreats the child so that the
baby is afraid of him. Because
of this we 'quarrel all the time.
He has a bad temper, and has
even struck me. He never- takes
me anywhere, either.
"The baby was with me at
my mother's until I got married.
(My parents have been' wonder-
ful) . •, I hoped so much for a ,
good home for both of us, but
after seven months of marriage
I'm ready to-giveup. RITA"
* Go back , to your parents.
* Your father will find out
* whether you have grounds
* for divorce.
* There seems no future for
* you and, the baby with this
* man—and of course your first
* responsibility is toward your
* little son: He must grow up in
* a secure home where love
• abounds. Your mother's home
* .is the only present refuge that
* can provide that.

To. Soldiers: If you are wait-
ing for the right girl, associate
with people who hold the same
ideals; you won't have to wait
so long. Anne Hirst served in
the first World War and was the

dier overseas. Tell her your

They Live To
Dance
•
Living happily on Bali, a love-
ly island -paradise in the Dutch
East Indies, are some of the
world's most beautiful women
— the golden -skinned Balinese
dancing girls who have large,
dark expressive eyes and thick,
black, glossy hair.
They and their good-looking
menfolk are natural dancers.
The slender , graceful Balinese
women with their shapely hands
and feet, dance As often as they
can. But they also work hard.
The Balinese are always cele-
brating something, feasting and
dancing for hours on end and
loving every. minute of it.
One of their most wonderful
dances illustrates the eternal
triangle. It is the Demon Dance
in which a lovely Queen is torn
from the hero's admiring side
and made captive by a demon.
She is rescued through the
valour of the man who, dressed
to resemble a monkey, fights the
demon and dances off triumph-
antly with his lovely partner.
A year or so ago a company
of Balinese dancers and instru-
mentalists visited the West, en-
chanting audiences in Britain,
the United States and elsewhere.
The story of the tour, and its
preparation — an undertaking
of many vicissitudes is
graphically and beautifully il-
lustrated in "Dancing Out of
Bali," by. Jonh Coast,

While. Montreal and Ottawa
were digging .themselves out of
the snowdrifts overthe week-
end we were experiencing rain,
fog and slippery roads. But
then there is no accounting, for
the weather these days—all, over.
the world it is as unpredictable•.
as it • can be • So, in our own
locality I suppose we should at
least be thankful when the
weather is good and make the
best of it when it is- bad. Any-
way, now that we are into the
new year there isn't the same
urgency about the things we
have to do and get ... no Christ-
mas shopping; no extra special
food for the table; no presents
to buy. And while we couldn't
do without Christmas there is
something equally ,nice in get-
ting - back to normal, everyday
living conditions, especially
when we have nice, warm
thoughts in our hearts—about
the unexpected kindnesses, and.
the lovely cards and letters that
came our way during the fes-
tive season. At least that is how
we feel at Ginger Farm—and
we would be most ungrateful if
we felt any other way.
And now there are several
months of winter weather
ahead. This is the time that
used to be spoken of as 'the
long winter evenings' — the
`shut-in time' when the women
supposedly got all kinds of work
done—sewing, knitting, quilts
and hooked rugs. But now, for
those who have the health,
strength and opportunity of
getting out, there isn't any shut-
in time at all. Instead it is a
period when conventions are
popping up all over the place;
farm organizations of every kind
having their annual get-togeth-
er, with delegates attending
from every district in Ontario,
many of them having reresenta-
Lives of both sexes.
And what will they discuss?
Farm problems, of course. Low
prices, high production costs,
shortage of farm labour, value
of increased efficiency, farm
management, weed eradication,
the new Dairy Products Act,
need for increased world mark-
ets, the comparative merits of
the Federation of Agriculture
and the Farmers Union. There
will be discussions as to when,
where and why women should
take an active part in all these•
affairs; the value of Farm For-
ums and the need for increased
membership; the menace of
margarine, t h e co-operative
movement, hospitalization and
various other types of insurance.
There will be hundreds of meet-
ings all' told, counting commit-
tee meetings and general sess-
ions. There will probably be a
great number of delegates and
hundreds of dollars. spent on
meals and accommodation: Some
delegates will attend from a
sense of duty, maybe at con-
siderable inconvenience to them-
selves; others will be only
mildly interested. Some will be
fired with enthusiasm, lead dis-
cussions and make practical,
worthwhile suggestions. Others
will contribute little to the dis-
cussions—and bring away less—
but at least they will have a
good time!
And what will be the out-
come Of these conventions? Will,
the cause of Agriculture be in
any way improved as a result of
these meeting s, discussion
groups, resolutions and appeals
for improved government legis-
lotion in various departments?
We hope so—but that remains to
be seen. It will be hard to as-
sess the value Of the time and

money spent at these conven-
tions'unlese, and until, we have
concrete evidence. by way of im-
proved markets and a swing,to-
wards establishing parity prices.
Meanwhile, as the conventions -
are taking. .place the farmer
back home will be getting on
with his daily- chores; Iooking
after his cattle and taking pride
• in ,their good appearance. His
interest is inthe welfare of his
stock and using to the best ad-
vantage the hay and feed stored
for winter feeding. Maybe he
spends more time at the barn
than he should as there he is
conscious of a sense of content-
ment inhis. work.' Then he
comes to the house for dinner,
felling at peace with life. After
dinner he looks over the papers.
He ponders over the intricacies
of the Dairy Products Act and
realises once again that farming
is now big business. It is no
• longer a way of life.. He figures
he should stop taking so much
personal interest in his stock.
That Bessie heifer, for instance,
that he and Mary have babied
along since she was born. She
should be sent out— it isn't
good business to keep her. There
is no room for sentiment on the
modern farm. And then he
looks up from his paper. Now
what's Mary so worked up a-
bout. Mary soon lets him know.
"Henry e I wish to goodness
you'd pay attention to what I'm
telling you. Dear knows I've
enough to do without you act-
ing so off -hand, you know I'm
going to -the convention tomor-
row!"
"And why do you have to go,
my dear?"
"Henry, don't be so exasper-
ating! You know I'm a dele-
gate and on that panel discus-
sion tomorrow — "How Home
Markets Might be Improved."
You'll have to help me, Henry
—I still have so much to do. I
wish I hadn't said I'd go, But
we farm women have to take an
interest in these things or we
might, as well be in the dark
ages."
"Yes," muttered Henry, "but
I guess in the dark ages women
didn't have high blood pres-
sure."
"Henry . , for goodness sake!"
"Now it all comes back to
me," as the skunk said when
thewind changed.

Laws
As his title indicates, the sec-
retary of labor is supposed to
represent the interests of labor.
Usually this means organized
labor. So it is not surprising
that Secretary of Labor Mitchell
has denounced the states' right-
to-work laws....
So far as Arizona is concern-
ed, the people of this state have
repeatedly expressed their opin-
ion on right-to-work legislation.
They have voted for it three
times, with increasing majori-
ties each time.
Most people don't realize it,
but Arizona laws also include
what might be called right-to-
work legislation in reverse. Un-
der the so-called yellow -dog
laws, passed many years ago, no
one can be denied employment
simply because of membership
in a union. Under the right-to-
work laws, passed more recent-
ly no ont can be denied employ-
mentmore,
simply because, of non-
membership in a union.
This, it seems to us, balances
out the equation: It -leaves up
to the worker the question of
whether he -will join a -unionor
not. It 'doesn't please those em-
ployers who would . prefer not..
to have any unions and it does-
n't please those unions that
would like to make everywork-
er join. — Arizona (Phoenix)

Tail Plants
•
Some seaweeds are the tallest
plants to be found anywhere in
the world. Seaweeds more than
six hundred feet tall have been
found in the ocean at the south-
ern tip o, South America. This
height is greater than that of
the tallest trees in the world—
the giant sequoia trees of Cal-
ifornia and the eucalyptus trees
of Australia. The Australian
trees are rather taller than the
Ainerican ones. One giant euca-
lyptus, measured after it had
fallen, was 500 feet high. A
giant sequoia tree called the,
Father of the Forest must have
been 400 feet nigh at the time
of its fall. By way of compar-
ison, the height of the Statute
of Liberty in the harbor of New
York may help us to realize
what monsters ' the giant sea -
weeds are. The top of the torch
that Libmity bears aloft is just
a little more than three hundred
feet above the water line.
