Needs Blood To Live—Officials of St. Francis Hospital say the life of little 5 -year-old Zona Studwell depends upon the success of their appeal fot don• ors with Rh -negative, Type "0" blood, A victim of "granulocy topenia," the child must have a fresh pint of the scarce blood every day. Both of us have been in love be: fore. The girl he cared for married someone else, and my fiance died. So you see we have both had a tough time of it. Another Boy Involved "`'hat gets me dowii, too, is that for quite a while I've been writing to a boy in the army. He is in love with hie. He wants to marry me. I have kept putting him off. "I've made myself sick over ail, - this. I just don't know what to do. M. W." * * * * One aspect of your marriage to the older man you have evident- * ly not considered as seriously as * it deserves: * As his wife, you will be expect- * and make them your own. You * and make the myour own. You * will have to behave in a more * mature manner than is natural, "' and be honestly concerned in * their interests and activities -• in * other words, be one of them. * Discuss this with him frankly and * seriously, and:• find out whether 4' he believes you will be a social * asset to him. If he thinks you * will, he should bring there to call * on you, and begin including you * in their invitations. * Otherwise, I'm afraid after mar- * riage you will find that he will * continue s e e i n g them — and * without you. You can foresee * how miserable that would be. * You must not be so possessive * now, It is in execrable taste for * you to "go after" him when he * is with them. He is going to * resent that interference (for that * is what it is) and besides it snakes you and him look ridic- * Mous' before them all. *• This is only one of tate dangers * in marrying a man so much old- * er. Don't ask, nor expect him to * give up his friends. He has no * intention of doing so. nor should * be. It is your job, I repeat, to * make them your friends too. If * you cannot, you'd better not go - * through with this marriage. * It would be well to settle this * matter iinmediately - before you * break finally tvith the boy in the • army. That, howe`s=e*, yoit should - * do soon, for it is not fair to * continue to encourage him. * * * Consider long and seriously be- fore you marry -an older man.

Bred To Be Tough United States dog -lovers are pav- ing as much as $1500 for fine speci- mens of English bulldogs. In recent years the breed has shot up in popu- larity. Canada, Australia and Italy arc three other countries where fantastic• prices are being paid for bulldog pups. They are dear enough in Eng- land, Eighty to a hundred dollars each was paid for a litter of fine, sired by "John Blockbuster" re. cently. The bulldog and .t.lee mastiff were among the first dis:inet types of dog. Bulldogs were originally bred for baiting bulls. A bull, tied by a length of rope to a stake, was left to defend him- self against the attacks of the dog;. Each dog was trained to creep within springing distance, seize the bull by the nose and hang there. if the dog did get a hold, the bull would try to free himself by, throwing the dog up in the air and dashing him to the ground. The dog had to land on his feet, other- wise the bull would trample hint Ic death, The ;raining the dogs had to un- dergo and the nature of their work made than fierce and headstrong. They were faithful enough as friends, but terrible enemies. Their undaunted pluck and utter disregard ;,pf pain, together with their tenacious grip were qualities rightly feared by those who did not understand their nature. It is as well that they are not as fierce to -day. Luckily, modern bull- dogs are trained to he quiet and obedient. LEGAL ADVICE Said the lecturer on law: "If you have the facts on your side, ham- mer them into the jury, and if you have the- Iaw on your side, hammer it into the judge." "Brut if you have neither the facts not the law?" asked a student, "Then hammer time table," an- swered the professor. * GQShM1 WQTTA SQUASHI" Yep, they sura grow big, Awed by the size of this giant cushaw, a variety of squash, 22 - month -old Carolyn Coldeway looks around for someone to help her figure it out. The huge vegetable was an exhibit in an Agricultural Show TABLE TALKS dam Andnewr. The other day I was walking with a friend, through her garden and remarked to her on how ,well her eggplant was looking—and how fond my family and I are of that vegetable — or is it a fruit? To my astonishment she told Inc that she only grew eggplant be- cause she liked its looks, and never thought of eating any. * * * Of course, I told her of what a treat she was missing, and recom- mended a couple of methods` of cooking eggplant the way they do it down in French North Africa, where it is considered a real deli- cacy. Eggplant With Cheese and Tomatoes Peel the eggplant and cut in long pieces about one .inch thick, Let stand in salted water for at least one hour. 'Dry. Put pieces of eggplant :in casserole in layers with tomato sauce and grated cheese, finishing with cheese. Bake in moderate oven (350-375 deg. F.) 'about 30 minutes. .* * Tomato Sauce (for the Eggplant) Wash and cut up one po>.mnd ripe tomatoes. Put in a saucepan with a little fat, one small chopped on- ion, pinch of thyme, one bay leaf, small piece of parsley. Wlmen enoks ed io a soft mush;+ strain. *: * * Eggplant Bread Peel and salt eggplant, cut in pieces. Fry in pan with lard and two or three pieces of garlic. Make a thick white sauce (4 tablespoons butter and 4 tablespoons flour to 1 cup of milk). When sauce•is cold, add 4 eggs and some chopped pars- ley. Mash the eggplant, mix with the sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bake in loaf pan at 300 deg. F. for 45 utiAtes. Turn out, serve with thick torhato sauce. * * * The recipes which follow all come from down in the West In- dies and the quantities given are not quite as exact as. the more scientific cookery experle would recommend. However, f I don't think you'll have much tr'oithle fol- lowing the directions, Ad I do believe that you'll find them well worth following too. Stuffed Peppers . 1 Ib. minced steak, or any cooked meat, minced Small piece minced ham 4 chopped olives 1 teaspoon capers 3 teaspoons tomato paste ' 1 chopped hard -cooked egg Salt to taste Raisins Little chopped onion Chopped almonds Vinegar If minced steak is raw. brown in frying pan. Then combine all ingredients together. Boil peppers five minutes, then stuff. Bake 30- 45 nminutes in moderate oven (350- ' 375 deg. F.), using a little water or tomato sauce in the bottom of the baking pan. Makes enough to stuff eight small peppers. * * * West Indies Meat Loaf 1 lb, minced steak Chopped olive Capers 1 chopped hard -cooked egg, 2 tablespoons bread crumbs - Tomato paste (enough to make meat loaf consistency) Chopped onions Raisins Vinegar 1 beaten egg 2 teaspoons melted butter Mix all well together, Shape in- to loaf. Place in greased dish with a slice of bacon on top. Bake aly hour at 350 deg. F. until the meat is done and the loaf browned. * * • Macaroni CEserole 1 lb. macaroni - 6 beaten eggs 1 pint milk Chopped olives Chopped ham Deviled ham Salt and pepper to taste Tomato sauce Grated cheese Raisins - Combine ingredients,;, mix well.

B:"' W arrtfm, B"A•B D•'' CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES IN EARNING A LIVING ` Luke -1Z:13-34; 18:18-24; Acts 16: 11-15;11; Thess, 4:10b-12; 11 Thess. 3:7 -la.`- • .Memory Selection: Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth. not in the abundance of the things which he po::;secseth. Luke 12:15. To time youth who had recently graduated from College with a de- gree, I offered my congratulations. He thanked me and then added, "lt doesn't mean a thing, if 1 can't make money." If he meant that holding a college degree does not provide Money for rent, food and clothes, the truth is obvious. But. if he meant that a degree is of no value unless it is used to increase one's earning capacity, then some of us will hesitate to agree. The value of a college education ought not to Jae measured by one's in- -come. However, in this mmmaterial- istic age many think of education only in. the light ,of its increasing one's earning capacity. The rich man in our lesson, thought of life in terns of posses- sions, When—the great harvest had been stored away he would say, "Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, cat, drink and be merry." Imagine, a man's soul being at ease because of riches! Mau is overbuilt for this world. Augustine was right, "God, Thou hast made mime for Thyself, and my soul is restless, till I rest in Thec." The rich man never reached the hoped -for -ease. He thought that more posseasions would procure it. But it did not. God said, "Thou fool, this night they soul shall be required of thee." How much• did he - leave? He left it all. a Paul laid down an important Maxim, If any would not work, neither.' should he eat." We were slow to learn the meaning of this its application to the fellow who comes to the door with a hard- luck story; But after one of theta robbed our house in our absence, and another suddenly disappeared after we had helped and secured help, we learned, Both •men finally were imprisoned for other tttievey. Now the assure ourselves that it is not just a man who does not want to work before we assist ltint. Paul's maxim sh.ottlmf be applied to- day, `�•p� "arri4,.csheastaes INS e� Gwetm.dol.itasz I Cl c1 plse \Vas there ever a haying season like this one? If so, we can't re member it. The last three days have been t1•onderful — hot suit and • good drying weather — so, Part- ner has a big held of hay already for the baler, who is supposed to come in today, And what happens? This morning we get up, find there is a heavy dew, cloudy sky and the weather forecast is for. more rain. Here's hoping the sun will come out and chase away the dew, and that we can get the hay baled be- fore it rains. There are plenty of things hap- pening on farms these days that are hard to understand. For instance, there is better pasture than we have had in years, yet milk production is down, also the butterfat content of the milk— all of which is nat- urally reflected in the producers' returns. This' state of affairs seems to be pretty general,. yet we do not find it mentioned in the dis-• cussion last week by the Bilk Con- trol Board concerning the revised consumer prices. Then there's the Hessian Fly. Just over a week ago 1 went to the back of the farm and upon my return 1 • told Partner the Hessian Fly wasn't in our wheat. 1 don't think it was at that time but a few 'days ago Partner found it there all right. And a better look- ing field we couldn't have wished for up to that time. Some of the fields we have passed on the road are a heartache.—only a titin sprink- ling of wheat stalks left standing in an entire field. Mosquitoes are still my No. 1 problem! We have a few, cherry trees at the back of the house — Early Richmond — a sour cherry that snakes good pies, Among the trees there is orchard grass. -It is still long and thick even though we did have the cows there to pas- ture for a few ,days. And, of course, where there is grass there are also mosquitoes. They attacked me in swarms when I started pick- ing cherries. What to do? . . . 1 couldn't let those cherries go to waste, Sudcenly I remembered a bright idea one of our neighbors had—taking the electric fan out- side. So I hunted aroumid'until I found enough extension cord to reach front the woodshed to the cherry trees: I set the fan down in the grass and watched the mo- squitoes fly angrily away. Not very far away -but` far enough that f was able to --pick miy cheerios m ith comparative immunity from bites. ' \i,Thile I was busy canning cher- ries we had a .wonderful surprise, Partner's brother at La Cave sent an 11 -quart basket of blueberries which he and daughter Betty had picked themselves. My, were they good! Colin said it had taken them only two hours to fill the basket, the berries were so plentiful. Now those same berries are in jars, ex- cept the ones for immediate use. Blueberries have a flavour all their own. Blueberry pie . .. could any- thing be nicer? I wonder how far south blueberm€s can be grown. Does anyone know? I often won- der if they would .,grow in the rough, rocky hills in this district— that is over the "Mountain." And do you know, I have a name for our mountain now — "Mystery Mountain." I offer that suggestion to the Geological Department of the Ontario Government free of charge! One day, looking over towards the mountain it annoyed me to think,it didn't have a proper l,:uae of cr i? au tile i .s^nr p"nent, Then m !. began to wn,,tctem ma hat name would be suliab1r.

Yesterday a minister said on the radio, "Small annoyances in our lives often crowd out the More ineortant things of life." !low true that is. Here are we, worrying about getting our hay into the barn, and yet, compared with what is happening in Kansas, Korea and Iran, what have we to worry about? l;ut there is another tray of looking at ,it.
