How sincerely I wish it! I would like to think that each and every one of you will have reason to greet the new year with hope and thanksgiving. Thanksgiving -be- cause we are a free people and therefore able to hope with a fair chance that otir hopes will be realized. And after all, how could we live without hope -and faith? Hope and faith are as necessary to life as' bread and water. Perhaps when we say in greet- ing "A Happy New Year" we don't really give the matter much thought. Happiness after all is a relative term. It depends a lot on what we already possess. A child, for instance, with very little to amuse him, is happy if only one new and unbroken toy is given him. Another child, used to almost everything that money can buy 4703 SIZES 25'-2T' Nifty! Thrifty! Make it in a jiffy!

The hest of the new -season fashion in easy -to -sew patterns for all. is dissatisfied because having so much it takes more and more to please hint. Perhaps too much generosity is as nullifying as meanness. # *' k Yes, now is the time when every- one, more or less- takes time out, after the Christmas and New Year celebrations, to relax, The holiday season was a lovely time but when it is over there comes a time of quiet contentment. In most homes there has been a .family gathering; each has remembered other mem- bers of the family with friendliness and goodwill. Gifts have been ex- changed -big and small -and as we look them ' over afterwards it is often the "token" gift that warms our heart the. most, Or maybe the friendly letter from a comparative stranger who wrote "just because she wanted to send her good wishes." I know, because I get quite a few of that kind myself. Now we can look back ,and re- member it all. Or at least we can remember the nice things, and for- get the others. The joy of having our family with us once again; the depth of their affection remains with us like the warm glow of a fire on the hearth after the dancing flares have died away. Each in his or her own way will greet this new year, 1951. But it doesn't seem so very long since We were having the same thoughts for 1950, does it? And yet a lot has happened since then. Well,- maybe it is just as well that a crystal ball is not part of our equipment for living. Most of us have our pet worries -and half the things we worry about never happen anyway.' But imagine if ice knew . if we knew beyond a shadow of doubt that a great. fortune -or a great sorrow -was coming our way! No it wouldn't do -we just couldn't take it. *: * '1 Yet there are tithes, are there. not, when we would give anything• to know the immediate future. Be- fore Christmas Tommy gazes- spell- bound at the mysterious parcels• under the tree ... If only he knew what was in them! Big brother Bill, equally spell -bound, gazes at Aline, wondering if he dare ask' that all important question. And he would -if only he knew what her answer would bel Parents, en- during the adolescent stage of their youngsters, watch them with anxi- ous eyes. If they only knew -if they only could be sure this was merely a phase. Old people, with the wis , dom of years and the loneliness that accompanies it, realize they cannot keep pace with the younger' generation. They try to be helpful. If only they knew -if they could only be sure -that they were still needed and loved. Every age has its problems - none can really foresee the future, so that each of us, without know- ing the answers, must do that which he thinks .to be best. And now I must close but before I go let me tell you a secret. Read the first letter of every paragraph in this column put tlteln together, and you will find my new year's message to you. But since, as I write, it isn't even Christmas, I shall have a lot more to tell you when next I write. Until then -goodbye, and "God• bless us everyone." CROSSWORD PUZZLE. ACROSS 1.

"Before we married, 1 spent a good deal of time trying to get my hus- band's mother's place , in shape for us, 'said his brother,to live in. . (She is in the'hospita1, after a serious operation.) The place is so dilapidated , that it is hard to keep clean, but I do the best I can. "The two boys must pay their mother's bills, and even now it is running ,into four figures. I work in a private hospital, and offered to pay the household• expenses, to help out. My husband has never told me his income; I made up a budget to live -on, but he will not cooperate. NO APPRECIATION "My husband's and my .working hours conflict. I have to come home and cook, scrub floors, iron - and he will not even go to the store or help carry out the rub- bish, or do anything to help, unless I urge him. He has weekends off, but always has some place to go. He has taken me to a movie occa- sionally, but nowhere else. He has few friends, and neither save- I, since he has not introduced me to anybody since I moved here. "I've always felt that husband and wife were supposed to share everything. Am 1 wrong? He dis- cusses nothing with me, only with his mother. There is no compan- ionship between us. "All I hear is gripe, gripe, gripe! I wouldn't mind helping out or working hard, if he only appre- ciated it, But he shows me no affection, nor even kindness., if I say anything, I'rn just looking for an arguments He thinks I have no right to expect any consideration at all -on my day off, I'm sup- posed to see his mother, and run errands for her. •'My family live in another prov- inte and I am so alone! My brother-in-law is considerate, does what he can to brighten up this place, and is looking for something better for us. (I should tell you I ant 34, any husband is 40.) • "If .f have over - rated myself, Anne Hirst, don't spare me or my feelings. 1 have always respected' roar views, MRS. G. C. S." * You have not over -rated your- s' self; it is your husband who is under -rating you. 'F If you did not have a position, ** the care of the home and these *" two men would not be burden- * some; you could plan your days *" so you would have some leisure, *" too. Working as hard as you do, the least you should expect •4 is that your husband take over 'l° what he can of the household chores and errands, and remen- *° bar how much you need regular rt" diversion. (Ile takes plenty him- *° self, doesn't he?) ' All yoti look forward to at 8 the end of your day's work is 4' more work at home- *" And, here's the rub, with tip * appreciation at all, Your husband, at 40, behaves like a spoiled child, which lac x probably is.

If he does *" not realize this, and change his o attitude, he will shrivel your * spirit, arouse your resentment, o and finally drive you tothe *' breaking point. 'r And he had -.better wake .up *" fast. '%Vhen his mother comes * home, made more helpless by the * handicap you mention, she will 1' need tender and continual care. ° That will increase your burden. *° How can you be expected to take • *"' that on cheerfully, unless your * husband appreciates all you will * do for her, too? *" If he is smart, he will 'start *" practising now.

Love In Bottles Floating clown the African coast are scores of love -letters in bottles addressed to. unknown beauties: they were written by officers and men aboard a British freighter which is said to have eclipsed all records for the longest delay of any ship at an African port.. The freighter was. 102 days at Beira, and 70 of then were spent at anchor 14% miles .off the port -too far to enable the nen to go ashore. So after writing ..several letters home, some of the crew decided it was useless writing any more from the same spot and turned their at- tention to love -letters. The bored men, in the words of one of the crew, "poured out their hearts to unknown girls." After sealing the love -letters in bottles, they threw them over- board. One man wrote a series of letters to his favourite film actress, Dorothy Lanour. Another address- ed an adoring letter to "the girl who finds this," and added: "l'u1 sure site's -a redhead." May Have Found Vast Hidden Hoard l very su often a story huts the' headlines to the effect that an, ex- pedition is setting out to seek an immense treasure• --treasure that has .perhaps lain- fur centutzies in the hold of some sunken galleon or been buried by pirates on a desert island. Generally, that is the. last that is heard about it, and one simply assumes that the fabulous board de- fied all attempts to find it. But there are treasure taunts that don't hit the headlines, and such a one is told by Hakon Mielche in, "After You, Columbus", recently published, a fascinating book which recounts the author's experiences during a voyage 'across the Atlantic on the exact route taken by Cohun- bus, and in a vessel of the same size. :Ere tells us that one day a Negro saw an American schooner at an- chor not far from the shore of Nor- man :island in the West Indies. As he watched, a boat put off from the ship and rowed to the shore, where it suddenly disappeared. Presently the boat reappeared and was rowed back to the ship. The Negro sate that it was heavily laden With a number of cases, which were taken on board the schooner before she sailed away. The curious Negro rowed to the place where• the ship's boat had dis- appeared, and. at the foot of the cliff found a low entrance to a grotto into which he propelled his small craft. Looking down into the water, he spotted something glint- ing on the bottom and, diving in; retrieved a Peruvian doubloon, dated 1739 and worth, in modern currency, over £6. Nothing `else was to he found. What was the rest of the story? No one knows; but' it certainly seems that someone, perhaps find- ing an old chart, had embarked on a treasure search and come into possession of a vast hoard of riches. Why We .Say Some The Things We Do Probably, when you sneeze, a kindly disposed person remarks, "Bless you!" Do you know why? Many centuries ago, when the plague was a common scourge, sneezing was a sign that the disease had reached its crisis and that its victim would inevitably die. Saint Gregory is said to have instituted a short benediction to be used on such, occasions, and so •when we say "Bless you" we hope that the sneezer's health will not 'deteriorate. There are many other phrases in common use which seen senseless. until you know their history. 'When you have driven a golf ball• Into someone's cucumber frames, do you ever remark, "There be the deuce to pay," meaning that trouble will result? Deuce is an anglicised form of the French "deux" (two), and dicers used to exclaim in disgust, "The deuce," when they had made what was the lowest possible throw. Marathon -performances, such as walking • throughout several days and alights, are periodically popular. A duo: t appropriate remark to the num v. in, has succeeded at this *ta- tter:.a:ce test is, "lou take the taker"' TIM, is a free translation of alt ancient Greek phrase, for it was the custom then to award a cake, of roasted wheat and honey to the maga who was best able to keep awake during a long• night atcll, original maraw;Ilon was one hundred and fifty miles, and was run by Phid'ippides ill an effort to obtain Spartan aid in the battle of Marathon. This article is well authenticated,. not the "bunk" or "bunkum" which was inflicted on the U.S,A. house of Representatives. when the mem- ber for Buncombe, in North Caro- lina, used to 'speek needlessly is Congress in order• to impress his constituents. Whet asked why he continually bored his follows with senseless speeches, he said, "I was not speaking to the I3.onse. I.was speaking to Bunco:nbe."
