I met this young man over a year ago and started dating him last summer. I fell so in love and I was sure he did, too ... But now I haven't seen him for nearly two months! Ee is going with my best elfl friend, and I am beside myself. Whatever shall I do? "I just cannot get him out of my mind. Everything I do, all I hear or say reminds me of him, and when I passu the e res- taurants and dance places used to visit my heart nearly stops beating. "The strange part of it is, he was married and afraid to tell me earlier, because he thought he would lose me. But 1 only loved him more. His div- orce came through lust a month before he stopped seeing me. Now he is leaving town soon to spend the winter in the South. Of course I shall wait for him, but how can I live until spring? MARIE" * You wrote your letter out of * the depths of your loneliness * and your hurt. You weren't * thinking, you were only feel- * ing — feeling how much you * love the boy, not what a poor * love he offered you. You are * also very, very sorry for your- * self, and bad better face the * truth. * This young man deceived * you from the beginning. Fie * had a wife and he never said * so. It is all very touching that * he explained he was afraid he * would lose you, but why * didn't he play fair and take * his chance, as an honest man * should? Instead of resenting * his duplicity, you say you loved * him more! Now that he's been * beauing your girl friend * about, you cry, "I intend to * wait for him!" Wait for what? * To let him throw you over * next spring? Don't you know * when you are well off? x I know what a bittle it takes * to admit you have lost out. * but life is like that. As long * as you live, you will aim for * certain goals — and often you will not even get near your * desire. The wise folk do not * continue to mislead them- * selves; they learn from ex- * perience. They turn the lock * on the past and say, "Well, * that is that" and go on to 4' grapple with life as it comes * to them, * Living the past over again 4' tears your heart out, and it * can wreck your health.

"Dear Anne Hirst: I've been going with a fine man regular- ly for almost a year and I am deeply in love, as he professes he is. He lives nearby, never dates anybody else and, of course, shows in many other ways how much he cares for ine. But he is 42 and I am 20, and everybody is trying to say he is too old for me. "I will not be convinced. I've gone for three years with a lot of boys my age, but I never' did feel at home with them. This man and I seem utterly compatible, emotionally and in- tellectually, though I know the last is a lot to assume. He thinks I'm wonderful to get along with and would make any man a good wife. What do you say? " WILHELMINA" * If the man has not pro- * posed, why the rush to decide 't' —unless you want to stop see- * ing him now if you intend to * refuse hin'i. His generalities * are all very flattering, but per- * haps you have become a habit * with him, and a convenient * one at that. * As to your ages, I repeat * that a good marriage de- * pends largely on ideals, tem- * perments and habits. You are * obviously mature for your * years, he may be young for * his. It is well to remember, * though, that when you are in * your prime, he will be slow- * ing down and not so interest- * ed in an active social life as * you will be. * I wish you bad told me * what your family thinks of * him. To any girl in such a * situation, that should be high- * ly important. 4, :I. When grief strikes; what will you do? Many readers turn to Anne Hirst.

Because he disapproved of his fiancee's frock, a twenty -year- old Surrey soldier eut it with a razor. When charged with injuring the girl and damaging her frock, he said her skirt was much too shbound over andort. He was ordered to pay for the damage. A new law prohibiting short skirts was introduced in Athens in 1926 and rigorously enforced. A pretty young girl was arrest- ed because her skirt was 15 tn. from the ground. Police said it should not have been more than 14 in. from the ground, but the girl was allowed to go free af- ter twenty-four hours. Less than a week tater the law was cancelled following the arrest of another girl. She proved to be the dainty, twen- ty - year - old daughter of a Greek judge. She had been jailed for a day for walking down the street in an "immod- est" skirt more than 14 in, from the ground. Lovely Spanish girls flatly refused to obey a decree by the Mayor of Almendralejo, a town in province of Badajoz, which forbade women to wear very short skirts in 1927. Instead, they paid fines en- titling them to wear a short skirt for one month. Police with tape-m.casures were empowered to measure in, the street skirts of debatable length. Eventually that decree was cancelled, too. You ' can fall foul of the , law for some strange things le dif- ferent parts of the world. An Indian girl was sentenced to a month's hard labour at New Delhi for kissing her sweetheart in a quiet alley. The ,youth was fined $25. µ Canada's population reached as estimated 15,410,000 at the start of December last year, an increase of 405,000 or 2 7% since December -, 1953, In the previ- ous 12 months the gain amounted to 381,000 or 2,6°In.

However, everyone to his or her taste. If we al] thought alike it would be a very dull world. But sometimes, it would appear, history repeats itself, even in our thinking. Take this for instance. Dr. J. D. MacLachlan, president of the Ontario Agricultural C o 1 l e g e, Guelph was addressing a Plough- man's Association banquet and expressed the belief that, to util- ize high-powered machinery ec- onimically, in the future there would be fewer farmers but big- ger farms and the cow would be regarded as just another machine; her intake and output computed in dollars and cents. just to sec for myself how David is coming along.

In a sense, considering present high production costs coupled with the shortage of farm labour this sounds like a logical con- clusion — and the trend to big- ger farms is obvious already. But, are we going backwards or forwards? There is more than one way of looking at the situ- ation. Cast your mind hack a hun- dred years or more. Remember the immigrants who _came to Canada because here, they thougt, was a country where any man with brains, brawn and suf- ficient capital could, if he so de- sired, own the' farm upon which he lived. Remember, too, that .. the immigrant left his native land because there he could farm only under the domination of the squire or the bailiff of an estate. There was no place for a small landowner. But in Canada — a century ago — the immigrant either applied for Crown Land or bought a farm from a previous owner. He might have little of this world's goods but his dreams were fulfilled. He had land of his own: He had acquired inde- pendence, Now, if farms in the near future are controlled by big property owners how much difference will there be between Canadian farms of tomorrow and the farms of the English gentry a hundred years ago? Conditions have changed — the pendulum swings back and forth, now this way, now that. But only Father Time marks the hours" uncon- cerned about which way pendulum swings, knowing that eventually history repeats itself in one way or another. Well, here we are again. . after dinner and a family gather- ing. And of course, as on all such occasions, plenty of conver- sation one •way and another. Since it concerned our own county we naturally discussed the huge land deal that is reput- edly nearing completion in South Halton. Over 7,000 acres, total- ling some $3,000,000 ! Fantastic. Shades of the pioneers — what would they have said could they have foreseen the future in' store for the land they had so labor- ously cleared with axe and "burnings" — virgin forest that for generations had been the happy hunting ground of the Indians, at one time controlled by their great Mohawk Chief, Cap- tain Joseph Brant. ' Then we turned our thoughts to houses — old, new and remod- elled, Partner and I listened while the rest of the party theorized on just how our own place could be remodelled. So often it helps to see things through other people's eyes. Not that we have any plans for the unmediati future. No indeed - not until we know for certain when and where Highway 401 is going through. The Department of. Highways is something like a cat — poised, but no one can tell which way it's going to jump. But at least we can dream. Changes would definitely include more light. Old houses . never have enough windows while new houses have gone to the other extreme. Too many windows.
