I hope you will go * ahead with your plans. * Your first consideration * should be to see that your *. fiance and your boy get to * know and, like each other. * Take him to visit her on * week - end afternoons a n d * plan engaging programs, so * he will see her as part of * them.

I have, fallen in love with a girl of 20, whom I knew in college. She is di- vorcing her husband; we are not seeing each other until it is final, but I am sure she loves me. • "I have a comfortable home, and can give her the security she has not had. We are tem- peramentally attuned — in fact, everything seems so very right that I am wondering about the future! My marriage was not happy, so perhaps I am a bit fearful . . .

Magic Killed Him Every day scores of human beings lose their lives by accid- ent, Most accidents are due to commonplace causes but occas- ionally there are unusaul mis- haps such as the Frenchman who dozed off in front of the fire. His wooden leg caught alight and he was fatally bur- ned. Consider the case of the man who was walking along with a bottle of acid in his pocket. Some boys were throwing stones and one bit the man's pocket. It didn't leave a mark on him, but it killed him. The bottle was broken, and the acid escaped and soaked into his body and in half in hour he was dead. In Jamaica, a few month ago, a magician was performing at a social function. For one of his tricks be required the help of twelve strong men from the audience. 'He produced a rope which he placed round his neck and told six men to take one end of the rope while the other six took the other end. At a given- signal they were to start a tug o' war, with him in the middle. But something went wrong, the men pulled and the magician was strangled under the eyes of the horrified audience. Not so long ago a man who wished to make a romantic con- quest gave a girl some sweets which he had doctored with a love potiOn. The girl gave a piece to another girl. But the man had blundered, for instead of the love potion he had mis- • takenly used a powerful poison. and both girls died in agony, QUEEN FOR 'A YEAR — Newly crowned Miss America of 1957 shows her regal trappings in Atlantic City.

E1001 LESSON BY ItEv R 13ARCI AY WARREN BA BD The Creation Story Genesis 1: 1-5, 9-12, 26-28, 31 Memory Selection: And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. Genesis 1:31 For this last quarter of the year we have an unique series on thirteen of the great passages of the Bible ranging from Gene- sis to Revelation. Six of them are from the Old Testament and seven from the New Testament.' Each has a unique message for Christian life and thought. For this lesson we have the creation htory. A scientist once said, "There is no more possibil- ity of the world being here as a result of chalice than of Web"- ster's Unabridged Dictionary re- sulting from an explosion in a printing plant." But from where did the world come? We read in Hebrews 11.3: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed, by the word of God, so that thingswhichare seen were: not made of things which do ap- pear." The Bible begins with the words, "In the beginning God." God was before matter. When did Cod create • the heavens and the earth? The Scriptures are indefinite as to the period of time covered by the first three verses. The Chris - tan Century of March 3, 1954, eentained a brief summary of an address in New Orleans by Dr. Edward McCrady, one of Ameri- ca's top nuclear physicists. We quote: "Science today is faced with the stark fact that creation occurred at a definite time, he said; studies in radioactivity measurements of time show that • all the atoms of the universe sud- denly carne into being 5.07 bil- lion years ago. Dr. McCrady ex- pressed concern over the discov- ery that an atomic explosion does not just disperse or break up matter, but causes it to cease to exist." This estimate is in agree- ment with geological estimates. Albert Einstein taught us that the fundamental units of matter are but pin points of energy — power. Whose power? The an- swer is in the Bible's first verse. Mari was the crowning work of God's creation. He did not evolve from a monkey. He was made in the image of God. The likeness is seen in the mental and moral features, such as rea- son, personality and free will. God is our Creator. Modern Etiquette. * Q. Is it good form to state in an introduction, "1 want to make you acquainted with, etc."? A. This is considered very bad form, as is the other oft - used eepression, "Shake hands with." It is much better to say, "Mr. Jones, Mr. Williams," or, "Mr. Jones, may I present Mr, Wil Hems?" Q Should one always use the napkin before drinking from a glass of water at the dinner table? A. Yes; this, prevents any chance of leaving an unsightly smudge of food on the rim of the glass. Q. What rules should be ob- served in typewritten social letters? A. Single sheets of paper should be used, written on one side only. And your signature should always be written by hand. -'----.-,-- NICLLS INGERFARM GwenxiolitNe, P. Clet,rike My goodness, our two wee grandsons have been here quite a bit lately — and I 'haven't said a word about them. Isn't that ahnost unbelievable — coming from a grandmother? Edward is only orie week short of four months old and he is the happiest, most contented little, fellow I ever knew. And that is not just the view of a doting grandmother. Many other people have said the same thing. Even his mother says he is easier to look after than Dave ever was in his baby days, David, of course, is no longer a baby. He is quite the little boy and very proud of his "brud- der." Dee was quite worried be- fore the baby arrived in case David might be jealous. But there isn't a sign of it, possibly because his parents have always been careful to give Dave a sense of possession — Edward is David's baby as well as mum- xey's; David's brother and David is given the privilege of helping to carry the cot or carriage into the house and to run around and get this and that for baby bro- ther. So it is all. working out very nicely and everybody is • happy. It is very nice to have two little boys come to visit in- stead of one. One is better than none at all but an only child needs so .much careful training if he is to grow up unselfish and unspoilt. Well, I suppose there has been plenty of complaining about the unseasonably cold, wet weather. Yesterday was miserable and as Partner and I drove along No. 6 Highway and across country we noticed, smoke coming from a good many chimneys, includ- ing the farmhouse belonging to friends in the Hespeler district whom we were visiting for the first time for over • a. year. That smoke curling upward from the chimney was a very welcome sign. The house was as warm as the welcome we received. This farm as one of the few where the grain harvest had been com- pleted but of course there is still the silo to fill. I don't think I ever as in a country garden where there were so many beau- tiful flowers — almost every kind you could think of — an- nuals, perennials, shrubs — all with a profusion of bloom. The . women -folk in that family cer- tainly have a green thumb — but how they ever keep up with the work I don't know. It grieved me to look around and think that so much of "the • glory If the garden" will soon be lost — it will take only One killing frost to do it. While the women of the party were admiring gardens, turkeys, dogs and new-born calves the men were "walking" the farm — over the ravine and through the bush and the back fields, discussing the merits and disadvantages of the farm as a whole — as farmers always do when they get together. Here, at Ginger Farm, there was a little extra activity this morning. The stock truck came in to take a cow and calf to market. Partner was anticipat- ing a little trouble in loading the cow. But he needn't have worried. Livestock truckers are better equipped to deal with per- verse animals than they used to be. A ramp with sides is lower- ed from the back of :the truck to fit inside the stable door and the cattle, with a little persua- sion from the rear, have no op- tion but to walk into the truck. There is no excuse these days for livestock to arrive at the stockyards bruised and beaten. Thank goodness we have finally reached the stage when care is usually exercised so that our dumb animals are not subjected to needless suffering. Years ago I used to dread seeing a drover . drive into the yard. I remember one drover Partner refused to do business with at all. He was excellent at selling but terribly rough with the cattle. We pre- ferred a man — maybe not quite so smart but certainly more humane. Our next worry will be sell- ing the old hens — and that will be another story. Always, as soon as the first hen is caught the birds get scared and fly all over the place. Maybe the time will come when a specially wired in truck will be invented so that hens like cattle, could just be driven into the truck. I can't see any reason why some such contrivance couldn't be invent- ed — with movable partitions for use in going from one call to another. Partner is very busy .these days rounding up useless wood lying around the place, such as neckyokes and whiffle -trees. They make excellent fuel for the fireplace. Of course the end pieces are salvaged for ,scrap iron. Like all other farm folk . we have an awful accumulation of stuff, saved because "it might come in handy sometime." But 4 ISSUE 41 — 1956 after all what is the use Of horse-drawn equipment after OW the team is gone? Partner goo all bis harness away a few year ago but there is still plenty .of other staff around — enough te keep the fireplace going for quite awhile.
