During all our marriage (29 years) my hus- band has always been unsympa- thetic and critical. He has nagged incessantly, finding fault with me about inconsequential things and keeping me nervously upset. He is so jealous he has accused me of dating my oWn relatives! Incidentally, he gives me no spending. money; I have to buy my own clothes, fortunately, I have a small income. "I have raised five wonderful children (all are married) and I am proud of them. I worked hard for the first 12 years to help pay for our home. I have exercised all the patience I could in order to have peace, but noth- ing has softened my husband's carping...

AT THE END" BEYOND ENDURANCE * The responsibility of raising * such a large family has been * your only incentive, I expect, * to put up with your husband * all these years. There comes a * day when even a woman of * your courage can take no more. * Send for your children and * discuss it frankly. Long ago * they must have known how * callous and cruel their father * was, so you should have their * sympathy and moral support * to put an end to this unbear- * able situation. Your physical * suffering is enough to bear * without being exposed to hus- ' band's heartless persecutions * and suspicion. * He should be advised of the * nature and extent of your * disease, and your physician * is the one to tell him. He will * remind him that unless . he * ceases his inhuman behavior * your health will deteriorate * more rapidly. What you need * is tenderness and understand- * ing, and your husband is the * one to supply them. Whether * after all these years he will, * only he can prove. If he re- * fuses to try, then your children * should take things into their 'x own hands and see that you * are protected frons any fur- * they indignities * This is the time you need * sympathy and kindness. If your * husband will not give them, * then these children you are * so proud of cannot, in all * decency, refuse to supply the * need. I have no doubt they * will act swiftly in your de- * fense. * It is deplorable that a man * can be so heartless to the one * he is supposed to love the most. * *- * SHY BOY "Dear Anne Hirst: I'm in high school, and there is a boy there I like real well. By his actions I know he likes me, and he tells my friends so. But he is so shy he just can't say anything! "This has been going on for a long time. What can I do? I'm afraid to start anything for fear he might get the wrong iimpres- sion. UNSIGNED" * A shy lad is self-consciousy * so be careful not to make any * move that could embarrass * him. Of course you could in- * vite a few classmates in for an * evening and include him, * which gives him the chance * to ask to come again. * Why not trust tohis pies- * ent liking for you and let * things ride as they are? Going * with other boys is always * helpful; it proves you are at- * tractive and it should stimu- * late his eagerness to know you * better. He will outgrow his * shyness one day. and if you * have been cordial meanwhile * he should naturally turn to * you. * * * When a wifehas given years of her life and love to raising a fine family, she has earned the sympathy and appreciation which her husband promised in his vow to cherish her. If these are with- held, she is bereft indeed . , . Anne Hirst has given many a disheatened wife the courage to escape from such cruelty.

Cao ttk z With all the various things there have been to comment on just lately, like winter weather and summer thunderstorms, I seem to have forgotten one or two changes that have taken place at Ginger Farm as a direct result of Tippy's .death. The first was a realization that we must have another dog — •a watch dog. The next problem was the kind, and where to get it. We thought we had- • solved it by making arrangements to adopt a year-old collie whose owners had sold their farm and were moving to town. But ` it didn't work. The dog. would not make friends at all and since he had never been tied up nor even had a collar on, it was hard to know how to handle him, or how to keep him from running away before he got accutomed to us. So we had to let the young lad come and take _• him home again. We were sorry because he was a lovely dog — if we could have trusted him. Pre- vious to this, Dee and Art had taken Honey to Toronto, think- ing we could handle one dog better than two. So now we haven't a dog at all. The breed I have always wanted if we had to get another dog was a Welsh Corgi—but how or where to get one is the question. Corgis are not too common in Canada. We could get a German Shepherd quite easily but we are a little afraid of not being able to train it pro- perly. So here we are sitting on the fence, undecided whether to get a puppy, a half-grown dog, Corgi, a collie or a German shepherd. In the meantime Honey has settled down quite happily in Toronto, much to Davey's de- light. Dave loves to put both arms around Honey and give her a bear -hug, which Honey graciously permits. And then they play ball together .. Honey always did love to play ball. But that ball is hers and she won't let Dave have it. So, while resting between capers, Honey lies with it between her front paws. But Dave is just as cute; watches his opportunity and when Honey is half asleep he creeps up and snatches the ball away. When Daughter goes shopping she has Dave with his harness in one hand and Honey on a leash in the other. I imagine she has quite a time. Last night Bob and Joy were in Toronto and Honey did her hula-hula wiggle the minute she saw Bob. Dee thinks she will probably go crazy the first time I show up. But I don't know ... Honey is happy with anyone who will make a fuss of her. And, in spite of the fact that she is in a city home, I imagine, with Davey's help, Honey gets more exercise GR -R -R — "Tipper" figures he ought to have special equip- ment if he's going to be a pro- fessional hound -dog. That ex- plains the comic teeth cluttering his mouth. The nine -month-old beagle will do his hounding around West Sand Lake. ISSUE 17 -- 1955 now than she did on the tarrn All she did her was eat and sleep --she would not stay out- side by herself. Incidentally her absence saves me time. Long- haired dogs make a lot of work. Last week we had a variety of experiences. While it was still cold we ordered an extra ton of coal —to be delivered early, before the frost was out of the ground. The coal was sent up in a one -truck. Instead of staying on high ground the driver took a wide turn in the field, dropped into a dead -fur- row and got hopelessly mired. He sent for a big truck to pull him out. The big truck - got stuck, Then along came the manager to supervise the pro- ceedings. He left his car in the lane. Partner came along with gravel, ashes, boards and an extra logging chain, At long last they were extricated bu to get out of the field they had to come over a low spot—they got stuck again. This time a tow - truck was sent for. About two hours from the time the pickup came in, the car and the three trucks went rolling down the lane. Incidentally the coal was unloaded in the field and car- ried in canvas bags to the cel- lar window. As for the ruts in the fields . . . they are beyond description. The next excitement was the de -horning of three heifers. Thinking my services would not.. be needed I went to Guelph, that day. But one heifer Hemor- rhaged and required veterinary first aid. Partner wished 1 had been here ecause 1 knew bet- ter than he how to handle the party -line telephone. And be- lieve me, one does need a little experience in dealing with a party -line. We have also had visitors here for nearly a week,, but, being an ex -farm couple they take farm emergencies in their stride, and help out when possible, Warm weather is with us yet and the bird population is in- creasing. Three blue hermits were down at the creek today; a lone killdeer flew over yes- terday and a perky little robin is making himself quite at home. Speaking of robins, a correspon- dent sent me this original little poem: "No Housing Problem" "He builds without priority At home beyond the strife Of C.I.O. authority For himself and wife. He hops about his neigh- bours' yard To market, while his wife Flutters about their nest to guard And warm the coining life. And when the mouths are opened wide For a fat squirming meal Joy and security abide In this straw domicile."
