For many teen- * alters, it is a painful experience. * everyone's hand seems against * us. Everything we do or say is * misconstrued. We feel we simply * cannot stand it for another day. * But life is a God-given gift. * We have no right to take our * own. Neither can we run away * from life, for that means rune- * ing away from ourselves, and * ourself is always with us. * For a long while, you have * been confused and rebellious. In * another year (perhaps sooner) * you will feel differently toward * your father and mother, and then s' you'll wonder how they put up * with you as you are today. * If your feeling that they dis- * like you is so strong, why don't * you decide you'll make them so * proud of you that they cannot * help but treat you as you think * you deserve? * First, be a good student; get * to the head of your class. Dis- * tinguish yourself in at least one * subject. * Win the friendship of your * teacher and your classmates. As * you get to know the other pupils 4' better, you will find that those * girls have known their trying clays, too. And nothing is so * hard to bear when we find out * that others have borne it and * survived. * Of your own accord, take on a-. * few household duties after school * and during week ends. Do them * as well as you can and try to • improve each day. Your mother * will be touched by your co- * operation, and begin to see you *'with new eyes. * Never doubt that she and your * father love you -else why should ;• ,they.., go to so much trouble to * keep you at home? For the past * few years, you have brought * them nothing but worry and * fear, yet they have not lessened * (heir concern over you. * Each member of a family has * the responsibility of contributing * to the welfare and happiness of * the home. You are no exeception. * As you begin thinking of others * rather than yourself, you will * find living there more and more * enjoyable. Don't get discourag- '* ed. Better days are right around * the corner! * Why don't you confide your * feelings to your favorite teacher? * Knowing you as I cannot, she * may have helpful and more per- * tinent ideas. * As for the story about your * parents. forget it. Even if it is * true, they can only love you * more, for being the reason they * founded a hone together for you '' to grow up in. Do your part to * keep that home life easier for * those who share it with you. * e * The rebellious teens are difficult for most girls, and trying for their parents.

An angry sea is always a challenge. Once I at- tempted swimming - alone -in a rough sea. Swim? I couldn't even stand. The angry waves picked me up and threw the against the jag- ged roek9. By some miracle I scrambled ashore, breathless, bruint ed and beaten. It was tate .one and only time I challnaged a stormy sea. As we passed along the lake front the other day a little old lady sitting next to ole in the bus; was recalling Toronto as she first remembered it. There was only one road then along the waterfront, she said, and of course, it wasn't 'paved. She showed me where farm barns' had stood on the greensward jest below Sunnyside. She remember-, ed, when the lake was high, how the waters flooded the road and'' even got into tate barns. She men- tioned Lorne Park as being a little village and how often site had gone' out, day after day, picking wild'`. berries in the surrounding fields. I wonder how many berries could be found in Lorne Park during the summer in this day and age? So many changes in one person's life - tithe ... one wonders what changes will take place during the next two generations. Dear knows there are changes enough already, even in the coun- try. You hardly get time to know your neighbours these days before they are on the move again. Our honie•; is becoming a haven for house plants bequeathed to us by departing friends. The first was a huge Christmas cactus that I kepi for years -until one winter it got frozen. That was a]efore we had a furnace.

The next plant was• from a neighbour who moved to Montreal. 1 don't know the name of the fern• -•-it has loiig, 'trailing fronds with needles that drop and make an awful tress.

This has given us an opportunity to ob- serve many things ,particularly how farms can be completely changed tinder nen' ownership - soutetitnes for the good, and some- times .very much the opposite, de- pending on the experience and fi- nancial status of the owners. Actually, it is very interesting to stay put and watch "the passing 'show" as it applies to the country. Interesting, yes, but alas, too often it is also heartbreaking. Many folk start out with high hopes, great ambition, but so often with little actual knowledge of practical farm- ing. The result is a foregone con- clusion - as the over -confident. seem only to learn by experience. Yet the old adage is as true now as it ever was -"a wise ratan learns from the experience of others; a fool from his own." And yet, how many of -us prefer the hard way every time. With those just start- ing out in life it seems almost in- evitable. But with older folk , . . well, you can draw your own con- clusions . . which will probably oe very much the satire as our own. Baboons' Tails - Two Shillings Each "--Two shillings a tail is being of- fered by Divisional Commissioners in Gambia in an attempt to wipe out hordes of baboons that are infesting African farms and doing great c "mage. The baboon popula- tion of Gambia has' risen to the • record figure of 50,000, and it is estimated that each baboon is likely to do about five shillings' worth of e, damage a month throughout 1952 if his depredations go uncheck- ed. Many hundreds of baboon tails have already been received, • and natives are organizing drives against the beasts. Baboon hunters have abandoned firearms when surround- ing a troop of baboons and have attacked them effectively with hat- chets, axes and clubs. Sometimes dogs are used, but they are no match for baboons that can fight with hands and feet and have fangs two inches long. Baboons are almost human. During the war in what was Ger- man Fast Africa airmen attached to a naval air squadron had a tame baboon as a mascot. It was par- ticularly fond of one pilot and used to sit on the bonnet of a car wait- ing for him wliile he was away bombing the Germans. One morning she was waiting as usual, and suddenly gave signs of alarm, barking strangely. The other airmen knew something was amiss. It was found that the miss- ing pilot had had to Make a forced landing on German terrritory. Pat- rols went out and brought the in- jured titan back to the camp, where the baboon greeted him by licking his face and jumping round with excitement. It could be said that she had saved the airman's life. Baboons have been known to sham dead when cornered. One who did so its the Graaf Reinet district of Cape Colony, after be- ing struck on the head with a club, rose suddenly and wrestled with a farther and forced him to the ground on his back. The inan managed to grasp a large .stone, with which he killed the baboon. But to this day he bears the marks of its fangs on his neck, "1 find your complaint, difficult to diagnose; 1 think it .nrltast be drink]" "In that case 1'11go' to a doctot who doesn't."

John 15:8. The fellowship of Christians is the largest and yet the most in- timate and blessed fellowship in all the world. Two Christians of different language and skin -colour meet. Their common sharing of Christ make them one. They are simply two branches from the same vine Jesus Christ. IIis life has come to them. In whatever ,points they differ, they are alike in life's essential. They have Christ. Abid- ing in Him and He in them, they can asic what they will and it shall be done. This is a stupendous pro- mise, but since their will is subject- ed to God's will, they will only ask the best. Christians are lights in the world, disseminating peace and harmony. 'When they disagree, they do so without resentment or malice. Christians are not war- mongers. They are peacemakers. Paul had many Christian friends throughout the world, men and women. Many had aided hint in his suffering. He loved theta. Frank C. Laubach in his recent book, "Wake up or blow up" challenges America to give her "know how" to the trampled millions of the earth.

They will love the people who help then. Communism is promising much. Christianity oust give her technicians and agri- culturalists to help these people. Here is the challenge. "Wake up or blow up." Bat Batty lltfany Southern states consider the bat a very valuable mammal. In fact, in some of these states it is unlawful to kill or injure bats. The reason for this is that they eat half their weight in insects each night. Bats, if you have forgotten, are the only creatures its the mam- mal classification that are equipped to fly. There are more than 260 species and subspecies of these animals in North America alone. Contrary to general opinion, the native species of 'bats are among the most harmless of mammals.
