DOUBTING WIFE WORRIES Dear Anne Hirst: I am very much in love with my husband and have alwa3rs trusted him. Lately, though, once a month he stays out late; he has joined a men's club and he says they all gamble. I know he gambles sometimes, but 1 believe now he is interested in some woman. "Several years ago I saw him with a girl, who turned out to be a friend of his brother's. He explained things, but I didn't like it, so now I think he's see- ing somebody else. "Every time the club meets I get so uneasy I can hardly stand it! What do you think? WORRIED" * I think you are hunting for * trouble that does not exist. * You certainly have gine far * into - the past in your search, * and dug up an incident which * was innocent of any meaning. * If you persist in such non- * sense your husband will rebel, * and who could blame him? * On the evenings his club * meets, why don't you and a * woman friend visit together • or go to the• movies? That is * the practical answer to your * problem, and I hope you are * smart enough t accept it. * In any crisis, tell Anne Hirst your situation and ask her opin- ion. If she cannot advise you herself, she will recommend a source of help which the situa- tion seems to require. Address her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont. He Added the Monroe Shape to Jet Planes RICHARD 'Wi3ITCOMB AND "THE SHAPE:" Also internal. Longley Field -- Richard T Witcomb is the first inventor in history to give the aircraft in- dustry "Marilyn Monroe" sex appeal, But you'd never know i t. When he leaves the .roaring wind tunnels of the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, Whit- comb enjoys nothing more than to go home to his workshop, There he experiments in another field of engineering — internal combustion, He has even ap- plied for patents on several in- ventions as a result of his hob- by. This is one example of the ever inquisitive mind that be- longs to the 34 -year-old scien- tist on the research staff of the for Aeronautics, And it also helps to explain why Whiteorah is hailed as one of America's brightest aircraft designers He is the man responsible for the recently announced disciv- ery of the new concept in air- craft design leading to a great reduction of drag rise which oc- curs at transonic speeds, It has already applied to two super- sonic aircraft resulting in speed gains up to 25 per cent. "Marilyn Monroe" is the name that has been given to the spec- ially designed fuselage Whit- comb has devised. It's also re- ferred to as "Coke bottle" and "wasp waist," 'OP until now the shape of the "Marilyn Monroe" fuselage has been kept under careful secur- ity wraps. It was firstmade available to the aircraft indus- try in September, 1952, however.

Such farms are the show -windows of agriculture — a very different proposition from the businessman who sets out to run a farm by himself, even if he has every piece of modern machinery he can get.

IISSU)E 40 — 1955 house canning and pickling is still the order of the day; the aroma of pickling spices is wafted abroad and mother sur- veys with satisfaction rows of green nine -day pickles; rich red beets and the deep yellow of mustard pickles. In fact a row of pickles can be a pleasing study in colour contrast. The children, of course, are back to school and mother must •now do her own fetching and carrying surprising the number of parental steps that can be saved when the children are around. On many farms the above pic- ture holds true; on other farms, as with Partner and myself, children have grown up and moved away. So now we do our own fetching and carrying — or in many ways fetch and carry for each other. But on a farm where active farming is still carried on modern machin- ery has taken the place of will- ing hands. Taken the place, did I say? I wonder! A combine and a hay baler speeds up threshing and haying tremendously -- provid- ing there is no mechanical breakdown. Less manual- work is now required for many other jobs but it seems to me the work involved is taking more out of the older farmer than it ever did, Not - physically per- haps with a milking machine a man can milk fifteen cows as easily as he milked five years ago. But the tension is greater; the output of nervous energy is increased tremendously from the days when Dad and the boys loaded loose hay on the hayrack and milked the cows by hand. Agriculture science has progressed by leaps and bounds during the last twenty- five years but I have yet to be convinced that the average older farmer is leading an easier life. Shorter hours, yes, daily chores lessened considerably — as long as everything goes all right. But a breakdown with the milking -machine, combine o r baler — or a power failure — can take more out of a man in nervous tension than would the physical energy used for the same job the old-fashioned way. However, there is nothing that can be done -about it _ manual farm labour being practically non-existent. As a result pro- gress and invention go hand in hand and it is probably only to the older farmer that adjust- ment comes a little difficult. The younger generation natur- ally accepts modern methods of farming in its stride just as it accepts jet planes and fast mov- ing automobiles. Mechanized farming is also an attraction to the - middle-aged businessman with a yen for the wide open spaces. To him farming with modern machinery appears de- . ceptively easy. So he takes up farming as a sideline, or goes out of business altogether, buys a hundred acres in an unknown territory; spends several thous- and dollars modernizing the house and -barn, and another few thousand on pedigreed cat- tle. In a great many cases a few years finds the business -man - farmer an older and a wiser man ... as a result the farm is again on the market, the busi- nessman having discovered by bitter experinece, that, to the uninitiated, modern farm ma- chinery merely substitutes ane headache for another.
