TWO WAYS-
* You and your husband have
* thrown many a shameful scene,
* I expect; he accusing, you de-
* !lying. Momentarily he is quiet-
* ed, but, with this trait so firmly
* entrenched, he repeats the same
* offense the next week.
* Have you explained how much
* you love hint, and how he is
* undermining that love?
* Have you reminded him that
* you admire his fine qualities, and
* only this jealousy spoils the
* good marriage you two might
* enjoy?
* Did you ever warn hint that,
* except for your faith in him,
* you could readily misinterpret
* his courtesies to your women
* friends?
* And why cannot he trust you
* as completely? isn't real love
* founded on mutual faith?
* Have you ever threatened to
* lave, if he persists in humili-
tC ating you so?
* Either your husband feels so
* inferior that he fears any other
* man can attract you - or he
* thinks he owns you as a piece of
* personal property, and so looks
* upon every polite man you two
* know as a guilty trespasser.
* One way to subdue a man's
* jealousy is to build up his ego,
* to convince him that no other
* male exists for you. Praise and
* judicious flattery are in order,
* and a clever wife knows when to
* apply them.
* He has talents you can honest-
* ly admire, solid qualities that
* deserve your open applause.
* show hire how proud you ore to
* be his wife; praise hint before
* yo,.tr child; when guests are
* present, draw'him out, so he'll
* feel he-is•lord of his house. -And
* if he brings up a man's name,
* remind slim how superior he him-
* self is to any man you've ever
* known.
* A tactful wife can do all this
* needn't let 'him get out of hand.
* It is a matter of frankly ap•
* preciating the good in hien, of
* using imagination, and proper
* timing. The idea has worked
* successfully before. Isn't it
* worth your trying?
* You will, of course, be most
* circumspect even among old

It would seem that holidays and
bad weather go together. What a
day for Victoria Day! Every bit
as bad as was Easter Sunday -rain-
ing from mid-morning well;` on into
the night. Thank goodness our cows
were still in the stable. Far better
to have them there than ' tramping
around in the wet fields, spoiling
more feed than they could pos-
sibly eat. We certainly hope the
clouds have spilt all their surplus
moisture for a few days at least
and that Old Sol will smile upon us
and warm the sodden earth.
However, there was one thing we
did enjoy on the 24th, and that
was listening to the broadcast of
the Queen's Plate. It was the one
bright spot in a dismal day. That
was quite a race -with its dramatic
and ironical finish.
It being a long week -end we were
expecting visitors -my sister and
her son. Bat nephe'v: Ilellii. * was
playing a violin solo at one of the
Hamilton churches on Sunday and
had a rehearsal on Saturday, so
that finished that. When the
weatherman was so unkind we
didn't mind a bit. After all when
city folk visit in the country they
don't want to sit around in the
house all day. However, we did
have Sunday visitors after all -two
friends from Fort Erie whose visit
was as welcome as it was un-
expected.
If it moved forward the starling
attacked it again. If it moved back
along the fence the starling left it
alone. Evidently the starling had a
nest in the straw mow which it was
afraid the squirrel intended to rob.
More than likely her fears were
well-founded.
Strange how every living creature
has its own means of defence -and
how other living creatures respect
that defence -except humans. With
our superior (?) wisdom we often
do our best to outwit them. For
instance some of our biddies have
developed the maternal instinct.
For this reason the quietest hens
are now quite vicious, pecking
sharply when we disturb them. Do
'we respect this natural instinct?
Not a bit of it. We collect the
broodies, put them in a crate where
they can eat, drink and move
around but have no comfort for
setting. This method soon has the
biddies singing again. So back they
go to the pen to continue the job
of laying 2/ cent eggs, which
don't cost us more than 3 cents to
produce. On the whole we don't
lose more than half a dollar a week
by keeping our 50 hens. And if we
can stop them from getting too
broody, and if the price of eggs
went up another 5c a dozen the
chances are we might break event
It was nice to just sit and talk
after being busy with the paint-
brush all week, But oh dear, clean-
ing up is quite a problem. Our big
worry now is what to do with the
things that nobody wants. Maga-
zines, bottles, glass jars and paper
feed bags -that is the Jig brown
bags that feed mills now use in-
stead of jute bags. There is also
the wire that binds the baled hay.
Partner can use some of it but not
very much, What to do with the
rest is quite a problem. Nobody
wants it. .
The Financial .Post explains why
paper salvage isn't wanted. Less re-
tail business being done; therefore
less wrappings and cartons are re-
quired; therefore less paper needed
for the manufacture of cartons. So
the price of waste -paper has drop-
ped from $40 to $3-$4 a ton. At that
price truckers say it isn't worth
picking up. It seems to the many
farms would be a lot tidier if every
township council would arrange a
twice -yearly salvage pickup service.
But I suppose that is too much to
1 ope for. The waste of paper,
bottles and wire is bad enough but
what really burns lite up are the
tobacco cans that nobody Wants.
There they are, perfectly good
cans, as clean and usable as when
they left the factory and could, be
refilled time and again if returned
to the tobacco packing industry.
Will all this deplorable waste ever

Well, Partnere
has supplied nt
pp
with my nature story for the week.

squirrel running along the fence

Inever got there. It was waylaid by
a starling who flew out front the.

Happiest People 1 The World
SHANGRI-LA (the mythical
name for a place where people are
ideally hajpy and cut off from
the outside world) really exists -
according to reports from South
Africa.
A. traveller recently returned
frons a visit to all isolated valley in
the shadow of the Black Moun-
tains in Cape Province, and said
that he bad stumbled on an iso-
lated community of ninety people
who had heard only vaguely of the
Second World War and had never
heard of Winston Churchill.
The valley in which these people
live has a rather inappropriate
name under the circumstances. It
is known in the Africaans lan-
guage as Die Hell (The Hell).
The people are descendants of
the French Protestants or Huguen-
ots who fled front persecution in
France in 1685 and landed in South
Africa.
Their surnames are those of old
French families-Cordiers, Mos-
terts, Marais, Nels-but none can
speak French, the language of their
forefathers.
Crack Shots
They are hidden from the rest of
the world by steep cliffs which can
only be scaled on foot. Their iso-
lation is made all the more com-
plete because there is not a single
road or track leading to the hidden
valley, which the people them-
selves seldom leave.
They have no radio, newspaper,
telephone, or postal service, but
they do have modern rifles. Both
nien and women are crack shots.
Food in this modern Shangi-la is
plentiful, for every inhabitant is a
farmer and all kinds of vegetables,
wheat, bush tea, oranges, grapes
and figs are grown. A herd of
cows supplies dairy produce.
The life of the small, self-con-
tained community may now be
short-lived, for the South African
Govermnent has expressed con-
cern over what 'happens to the
children of these descendants of the
Huguenots.
"Who's Churchill?"
Brainy Beauty -For obvious rea-
sons Patricia Ann Taylor is
Southern Illinois University's
homecoming Queen, and if
readers can take their eyes from
her, a look at her scholastic re-
cord shows a 4.893 average in
140.5 university quarter-hours,
for which Pat has been award-
ed the Charles Neely Scholar-
ship.
• BEE -HAVE
It's rather a ticklish question, but
did you ever wonder how a bee got
his back scratched? Professor V.
G. Miluin did. He decided to find
out. After tong study of worker
bees which were encased in glass -
sided hives. the professor said that
a bee is able to cleanse most of
the pollen from its body by brush-
ing it off with his legs, antennae
and pollen combs. But there are
still parts of the body he can't
reach. So the bee goes into a
"grooming dance" -the equivalent
of asking someone to scratch your
back.
11
,
If the dance is convincus enough,
ou g
the "barber" bee will lend a hand
by brushing off pollen from the in-
accessible spots.

for modern civilizations and con-
ventions. They are quite certain
that they are the happiest people on
earth. .
There is only one kind of work
that :'Fite 4s 'do and that is dairy
work: Witbiout cows the tribe could
not ext it, which explains why the
dairy is the Toda temple, and the
cow is to then -as it is to all
Hindus --the most sacred of animals.
The Todas settled in the hills
2,000 years ago and have kept to
themselves ever since.
'.Ib -day there are about six hun-
dred of them, and through the
centuries that figure has never been
greatly exceeded.
The official view is that there
should be 'a better future offered to
them than that available in the
isolated valley, and a scheme is
now afoot to move the entire com-
munity back to civilization.
The fact that these people had
never heard of the last war or Win-
ston Churchill is nothing unusual.
Islanders who had never heard
of such things as trains, radio, and
hooks were found by explorer
Frederick .Mitchell Hedges in the
Seychelles, a group of islands in
the Indian ocean recently.
They were all well fed and su-
premely happy, he said, and had
no desire'at 11 to become "civil-
ized."
Nor had the Shayus tribe of the
Aures Mountains, North Africa,
when they were visited recently
by a French expedition.
The Shayus have lived in this
"African Tibet" ever since the his-
tory of modern times began, and
have again and again rejected the
oncoming tide of civilization.
Great dynasties and empires
have risen and crumbled on the
edge of the Aures Mountains-
Egyptain, Carthaginian, Roman -
yet this hilltop tribe has never died
out and its customs are the same
to -day as they were ten thousand
years ago.
No Hard Work
The Shayus civilization is based
on the concept that most of the
toil other nations consider to be
essenial can be dispensed with. To
then hard work is abhorrent and
unhealthy. They do just enough
to keep themselves alive.
Women are the dominant sex. If
a woman gets tired of her husband
she can demand an immediate
divorce, either marrying again or
abandoning her home and children
to make her living as a dancing
girl.
She is then an "Azria" or free
woman, respected throughout the
community and often comparatively
rich.
Another "Shangi-la" tribe where
they have peculiar ideas about mar-
riage and equality of the sexes, is
the Toda tribe of Southern Ind'a.
Sacred Cow
The Todas live in the Nilgiri
Hills and they, too, have no time
Grow Them Bigger
In Newfoundland
These scientists are working on
the theory that Newfoundland's 14
native species of mammals all mi-
grated from the mainland after the
ice age and at a time when ice
still bridged the Straight of Belle
Isle. Cut off from their former hab-
itants by the melting ice, they had
to adapt themselves to their new
environment or perish.
In, the process of adaptation the
animals have undergone some very
considerable changes. The island
caribou, for example, is sandy
brown with white on the neck, head
and legs. The mainland caribou is
}such darker with little or no white
markings. But the caribou, in its
lightness is the exception; all the
other species of Newfoundand's
maininals are darker in color than
their mainland cousins.
Nor is coloration the only alter-
ed feature. Except for the bear and
the lynx, all the mammals of New-
foundland, from the caribou right
down to the meadow -mouse, are
larger and heavier than the con-
tinental species. These changes are
accompanied by altered bone struc-
ture and in some cases by changed
food and living habits. Beavers for
example live far from wooded areas.
They transport logs through an
elaborate series of canals to the
sites of their construction projects
and are forced to use much harder
wood for their darns than did their
ancestors.
Whether or not continued isola-
tion would ever have produced ani-
mals as strange and rare as those
of Australia no once can tell; but
the mammals of Newfoundland are
now classified as sub -species, and
the scientist has been given another
opportunity to study the strange in-
teraction of environment and hered-
ity in one of nature's laboratories.

• BEE -HAVE
It's rather a ticklish question, but
did you ever wonder how a bee got
his back scratched? Professor V.
G. Miluin did. He decided to find
out. After tong study of worker
bees which were encased in glass -
sided hives. the professor said that
a bee is able to cleanse most of
the pollen from its body by brush-
ing it off with his legs, antennae
and pollen combs. But there are
still parts of the body he can't
reach. So the bee goes into a
"grooming dance" -the equivalent
of asking someone to scratch your
back.

,
If the dance is convincus enough,
ou g
the "barber" bee will lend a hand
by brushing off pollen from the in-
accessible spots.

for modern civilizations and con-
ventions. They are quite certain
that they are the happiest people on
earth. .
There is only one kind of work
that :'Fite 4s 'do and that is dairy
work: Witbiout cows the tribe could
not ext it, which explains why the
dairy is the Toda temple, and the
cow is to then -as it is to all
Hindus --the most sacred of animals.
The Todas settled in the hills
2,000 years ago and have kept to
themselves ever since.
'.Ib -day there are about six hun-
dred of them, and through the
centuries that figure has never been
greatly exceeded.
The official view is that there
should be 'a better future offered to
them than that available in the
isolated valley, and a scheme is
now afoot to move the entire com-
munity back to civilization.
The fact that these people had
never heard of the last war or Win-
ston Churchill is nothing unusual.
Islanders who had never heard
of such things as trains, radio, and
hooks were found by explorer
Frederick .Mitchell Hedges in the
Seychelles, a group of islands in
the Indian ocean recently.
They were all well fed and su-
premely happy, he said, and had
no desire'at 11 to become "civil-
ized."
Nor had the Shayus tribe of the
Aures Mountains, North Africa,
when they were visited recently
by a French expedition.
The Shayus have lived in this
"African Tibet" ever since the his-
tory of modern times began, and
have again and again rejected the
oncoming tide of civilization.
Great dynasties and empires
have risen and crumbled on the
edge of the Aures Mountains-
Egyptain, Carthaginian, Roman -
yet this hilltop tribe has never died
out and its customs are the same
to -day as they were ten thousand
years ago.
No Hard Work
The Shayus civilization is based
on the concept that most of the
toil other nations consider to be
essenial can be dispensed with. To
then hard work is abhorrent and
unhealthy. They do just enough
to keep themselves alive.
Women are the dominant sex. If
a woman gets tired of her husband
she can demand an immediate
divorce, either marrying again or
abandoning her home and children
to make her living as a dancing
girl.
She is then an "Azria" or free
woman, respected throughout the
community and often comparatively
rich.
Another "Shangi-la" tribe where
they have peculiar ideas about mar-
riage and equality of the sexes, is
the Toda tribe of Southern Ind'a.
Sacred Cow
The Todas live in the Nilgiri
Hills and they, too, have no time
Grow Them Bigger
In Newfoundland
These scientists are working on
the theory that Newfoundland's 14
native species of mammals all mi-
grated from the mainland after the
ice age and at a time when ice
still bridged the Straight of Belle
Isle. Cut off from their former hab-
itants by the melting ice, they had
to adapt themselves to their new
environment or perish.
In, the process of adaptation the
animals have undergone some very
considerable changes. The island
caribou, for example, is sandy
brown with white on the neck, head
and legs. The mainland caribou is
}such darker with little or no white
markings. But the caribou, in its
lightness is the exception; all the
other species of Newfoundand's
maininals are darker in color than
their mainland cousins.
Nor is coloration the only alter-
ed feature. Except for the bear and
the lynx, all the mammals of New-
foundland, from the caribou right
down to the meadow -mouse, are
larger and heavier than the con-
tinental species. These changes are
accompanied by altered bone struc-
ture and in some cases by changed
food and living habits. Beavers for
example live far from wooded areas.
They transport logs through an
elaborate series of canals to the
sites of their construction projects
and are forced to use much harder
wood for their darns than did their
ancestors.
Whether or not continued isola-
tion would ever have produced ani-
mals as strange and rare as those
of Australia no once can tell; but
the mammals of Newfoundland are
now classified as sub -species, and
the scientist has been given another
opportunity to study the strange in-
teraction of environment and hered-
ity in one of nature's laboratories.
