Unmarried Mother Worries "Dear Anne Hirst: Some years ago I fell in love. The man told me he married his wife for her money, and never cared for her. I wastoo young to realize what I was doing: I played along with him. "Two years ago, I bore his child. (He has three others.)

Laing George *Washington St. Xavier Scadd *Was far too truthful for a lad: He viewed with innocent surprise A world of comfort built on lies And he declared he'd do his best To put the truth to every test. His parents, horrified, said "Nol Please spare the world this horrid blow." But since he would not hear their plea And blurted truth with horrid glee, They took his great ancestor's axe And laid him low with forty whacks.

ONICL 5 yPk-rNN6 R H Gevered.olitee P Ctd,,pke The 1952 Royal Winter Fair is many months away. And yet there is every reason for us to be think- ing about it right now — at Least if we can rely on the subject mat- ter of an editorial in the FARM- ER'S ADVOCATE and CAN- ADIAN COUNTRYMAN - Feb- ruary 23. This editorial states quite openly that a movement is on foot to' have the "Royal" open for busi- ness on Sunday — that is ,the Sun- day that comes midway during. the 'time the Fair is on. The editorial is quite obviously against it and won- ders what attitude we farmers will take in the matter. What, indeed! This is a matter that should be discussed by farm groups an.d ag- ricultural organizations from. • one end of the province to the other. The "Royal" is our fair. It was organized primarily in the "interest of agriculture. Do we want it cheapened and used as one, more means of creating an open: Sun- day? Vire know there are quite mini. ber of fanners, mostly fruit'. and market gardeners, who seem- to think it necessary to work ori the Sabbath, but the majority of farm- ers still regard Sunday as a day of rest insofar as it can be.,where winter .chores are almost an all - day job. 1 have spoken to several people about this subject and not one has been in favour of having the "Roy- al" open for business on Sinday. The nearest to it was one man who said he would like to see the : Fair open, but not for business. That is tci say, an admi'ssion fee could be charged, and people allowed to go through the barns ;the 'horse palace and the bower show, but, no judging or show ring events should be allowed. And definitely no com- mercial side shows --- which, after all, are merely an attraction to peo- ple who are not in the least inter- ested in farm animals or farming operations. There is also another way of looking at it ... suppose the Royal were to open on Sundays. It would just be the thin edge of the wedge. If the Royal stayed open then there would be a clammering from some quarters to have the Canadi- an Exhibition stay open on Sun- days — which heaven forbid. And if the Exhibition stayed open there would be other places of amuse- ' ment that would think they should do likewise. Very soon there would be more commercialized ansusement an Sunday than on any day of the week. Apparently the idea of keeping the .Royal open on Sundays has been tentatively suggested as .a means of malting more money . — according to the editorial it "might mean the difference between sur- HERE'S A TREAT THAT WILL MAKE ANY CEREAL TASTE BETTER TRY IT NOW, JACKIE.- ANP TASTE THE PIFFERENCE plus and deficit," And does the management think any good would come of a new venture which de- liberately and - publicly flouts the fourth commandment? Dear knows, many of us are guilty enough in that respect, but at least it remains a personal matter. If the Royal is not paying its way why not have it stay open the whole two weeks — Sundays ex- cepted? Or raise the admission fee, People who arc really anxious to go would probably pay an extra 25 cents as easily as not. Rather hard on a big fancily, of course, but then children could be taught that if they want to go to the Big Fair they must save their pocket money and pay their own way. Too often, with easy indolence, we farm people sit back and let changes take place to which we are actually opposed. Too late we re- alize we could have stopped any given change had we really tried. In regard to the Royal Winter Fair we have been given plenty of time to think about it. I hope farm folk all over the province will make their voices heard. To make this. possible the matter should be dis- cussed by all farm organizations at their regular meetings. If the ma- jority of members are against an open Sunday at the Royal, then a resolution should be properly drawn up, signed by the mover and seconder, acid by the president and secretary, and have a copy of the resolution sent to the Board of Directors of the Royal Winter Fair, and also one to the Minister of Agriculture, the • Honourable T. L. Kennedy. Let agriculture raise its voice in protest in this matter which is of such vital importance to itself. Don't let this be onemore occa- sion for saying too little — and saying that little too late. But maybe I am saying too much — and saying that much, too soon! What do our readers think? "Fuzzy" Sweaters Can Be Dangerous For safety's sake stay away from lire if you're wearing a ";uzzy" sweater. This information was divulged after an investigation into the "exploding" sweaters, by I,. A. Bradley, textile chemist, Yarn used in this fabric, he pointed out, is ‘„not in itself dan- gerous. But he believes any swea- ter with a thick, brushed nap will burn rapidly. High flammability of such sweaters is due to the loose . weave of the cloth, approxi- mately 40 threads to the square inch, and brushed nap not to an explosive finishing chemical. Head of the research depart- ments of the American • institute of laundering expressed his opin- ion that any sweater with such a loose weave and brushed nap would burn as rapidly. He believes it makes no difference whether the cloth were viscose, or cello• lose acetate rayrtn. By Rev. R. B, Warren, B.A., B.D. Timothy, A Dependable Follower (Temperance Lesson) Acts 16:1-3; Philippians 2t19-24, 2 Timothy 2ti.S, Memory Selection: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in work, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12, On Paul's first visit to Lystra, in Asia Minor, he was stoned, drawn out of the city and left for dead. But as the troubled deciples stood around, he rose up. To some it may have seemed that his mission there was a failure. But when he returned to Lystra on his next mis- sionary journey there was a young disciple, Timothy, ready to ac- company him in spreading the gos- pel./ Timothy's mother Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, were women of unfeigned faith. They were Jewish. His father was a Greek. In the second lessors portion Paul is writing from. Rome during his first imprisonment. He pro- poses to send to Philippi,' Timothy, who had ministered there with Paul in the beginning. From Paul's words we can see that Timothy was truly a minister. He was not out for himself. The final lesson portion is from Paul's last letter written shortly before his execution. He urges Timothy to endure hardness. keep free from the entanglements of secular affairs and fight the good fight in Christian manner. Church history assures us that Timothy, who in youth became a worthy example of believers, continued so to the end. How different his life would have been had he, as so many of our youth. today, became enslaved to strong drink. Thank God he didn't. "Alcoholism is a disease. That is perfectly true, but no one ever contracts the disease who does not drink alcohol." Hints On Caring For Cut Flowers Unpack flowers as soon as they arrive. Cut stems diagonally with at sharp knife to remove dried cells and permit the flowers to .drink freely. "Harden" them by plunging them into -a deep bucket of cold water and leaving them in a dark room for two or- three' hours before ar,--• ranging. Keep them away front draughts, direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. Add fresh water daily and recut stems whenever flowers seem to tire. Arrange then so that colors, shapes and sizes are in harmony with the container and the whole arrangement is in harmony with the room. If you would have the nuptial union last, let virtue be the bond that ties it fast. —Nicholas Rowe. NO WONDER The C.O. of a certain Comma*. do unit was a stickler for disci. Tine. In the very 'early hours on* winter's morning, he clashed into one of the huts, routed out the me* front their beds and lined them up„ two deep. He went up to one of the risen in the front rank and punched him violently in the stomach. "Did that hurt?" he barked. "No, sir," "Why not?" asked the C.O. "I'm, a Commando, sir." . The C.O. walked a little furthee down the line, stopped before {{ second man, lifted his foot and kicked 'him smartly on the shin. Again he asked, "Did that hurt?" "No, sir." "Why not?" "I'm ,a Commando, sir." Almost at the end of the liner the C.O. caught sight of a man with a pair of very large feet and, march- ing up to him, he stamped violent- ly on his toes. "Did that hurt?" "No sir." "Why not?"
