Now I don't know whether I love hint or not. "We both work, and I love my job . , . Re- cently a young It] a n cattle to work there, and I can't get hits out of my mind. He is single and has no girl. IIe hasn't made a pass at me, but I'm nervous, and I can- not sleep for thinking of hint, "I know '.ny lett band loves me dearly. This trould crush him. He is handsome and popular; I'm at- tractive, and we do have good times. "I've always had good times - and my own way, Lately, I want this man near me, Don't tell me to give up my job -I won't.

Be * an honest wife. at Loyalty is the first require- * ment in marriage. Wanting to 's be with another man is not be- * ing loyal, and this one, you do * not even know. \Vhat you feel * is physical attraction -and that it's Smart!

But don't be deceived. Exposing * one's self to temptation is not * safe for a spoiled girl who has * always had her own way. * This is probably only a poss- * ing infatuation. But ask your- * self these questions: * How lunch does your marriage * mean to you? Have you Ito * thought if not in deed? This is * your first temptation, I expect * and hope. Beware how you * meet it. * Your husband may not be as * exciting to yon as he was, but * he could be thrilling again, if * you remember your courtship days and exert your charms• -- • instead of indulging in impious * fancies of another man. " Hasn't it occurred to you that °. marriage is not primarily * for one's own happiness? It * means living for somebody else, * trying to please him, being will- * ing to make any sacrifice to keep * hint contented. So far, you * haven't had to make any. have • you? * Suppose • your husband told '4 you tonight that he had fallen for another girl . . • Dare you * trifle with his devotion' SHALL THEY MARRY Dear Anne Hirst. For nine months I've been going regularly with a fine man. I ant deeply in love. I'rn convinced .he loves Ise; he lives nearby, and never goes with ancone else. And he shows how '•e feels in other ways, too, "He is 44, I'm 20. Friends tell me he is too old for Rte. "I can't agree. I've gone with boys my age, but I never did get along with them. He and I have never had a fuss yet. He says I'm easy to get along with,. and would stake a man a good wife, (r hope I'll turn out to be his.) "What do you think? * If the man has not proposed, * why the rush to decide? Unless, * if you intend to refuse hits, you * want to stop dating him now. * His generalities are all very flat- ` tering, but it may be that you * have become a habit, and a con- * venient habit with him. * As to your ages (as I've said * so often) a good marriage de- °' pends largely on habits and tem- * peraments. You are obviously * mature for your years, he may be * young. • for his. It is Smart to re- * member, however, that when you * are in your prime he will be slowing down, and not enjoy- * ing life as actively- as you will * want to. If you, a married woman, are at- tracted by another man, keep out of his way. Be wise -avoid temp- tation, Anne Hirst will tell you how, if you write her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont. Legendary Bid The goat -sucker, or nightjar. is a bird around which a number of legends have been woven. The ancients believed it sucked goats at night; afterwards, the goats dried up and lost their sight. The narwhal is called "sea uni- corn" because of the long spiral. and tapered tusk that gorws from its upper jaw. This is sometimes as long as ten feet. It purpose has never been determined. Ironically; the tusk is often fashioned into a harpoon used in the hunting of these sea animals. The physical conformation of a calf moose makes it almost impos- sible for him to eat off the ground without kneeling down. C:WARD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. In behalf of 4. Maseullns 8. Pretense 12.

Snow , at.the end of May , , , impossible. It_ was 70 degrees around here. Then 1 .looked out of the door, Scattered snowflakes were drifting by. ,.,At the edge of our gravelled drive, where green grass held it in check, • there was definitely a thin bank of snow. "This is ridiculous, 1 thought, as I stepped out to get the car. And then the mystery was explained. The ridge of snow on the ground was fluffy white down from the dandelions. The falling flakes were more down, driven by a stiff west wind. Seen from the house no one would h2:'re believed it wasn't snow. I jx` never seen anything like it bf I called Partner's attentiop, it was alsi tits first experiene� this type of "snow", I am sure it would have startled aid deceived anyone who saw it as we saw it, The dandelion crop has been extra heavy this year, or per- haps atmospheric conditions sad something to do with the way the light down stayed around. ft is still tleere on the drive but not as noticeable as it was at first. In one way it has been quite a nuisance. As sure as 1 start working with green paint the wind gets up and before 1 know it my green pain - is' decorated with dandelion fluff, 1 am leaving, the final coat until all the down has drifted away. ' Well, the cow are out to pas-. ture. Such bawling you never heard. We have a small piece of' good pasture at the back •of the' house which Partner thought would suit our hassles very nicely until' their feet were used to outside con ditions. But the cows thought' otherwise. This wasn't their pas-? ture field --not this pokey little.; piece of ground! So every time they saw Partner cross the yard they starters to bawl. After two days of it Partner was somewhat annoyed. "Well," he said to the cows, "if you don't know good pas- ture when you see it, get tip in the back field and stay there!" So he opened the back gate and let thein go. Now the cows are hap- py -but not so the one heifer that is with them. Last year this heifer was running with the young cattle who graze on different pasture. A few weeks ago, after leaving her first calf, Dora was promoted to the company of the cows. But Dora doesn't want to be with the old cows -she wants to be with the youngsters and have fun. So she roams along the fence all by her- self and gazes longing over to- wards d. the. other pasture lustily to her oldchow-mates, b But they're not worrying, 7.'hey still have plenty of company. So poor, lonely Dora bawls and bawls, and her bawling goes unheeded. So there, my friends, you have a sam- ple of bovine psychology. Well, Partner and I have just conte home after making a cross- country tour of inspection. We can't wateb our own crops grow this year, since we haven't any, so we have to get out tc, see 'what the rest of the farmers are doing. We travelled the highways and byways in three townships. On one road we carne acrns4 a young ring-necked Bock pheasant and two pnilets, as tame as could be -- probably raised on a farm. We saw spring crops that were good and some that were not, Crops on Itsw-lying land were yellow through excessive moisture. Hay crops were not too peomising; wheat fair to average. But of course, with the country so green everything looked beautiful. VVe both like. to get around the country in this way. We like to watch the changes that different ownership has made to various afrms. \\e passed the home -farm of a young fellow who is very much in the news these days and we noticed a group of young people looking over his cattle, We saw the old farmhouse 'where we lived for one summer when we first carne to Ontario. It has been remodelled since then and all• the old trees in the orchard have been cleared away. To us the. house and its surroundings looked very bare. But now the place is less wooded the new owners probably won't find snakes in their bedrooms as we did occasionally. Snakes in the bedroom didn't exactly appeal to me at any time but after all you have to sacrifice a few prejudicges if you want a truly rustic old-world setting. The creek was still there -different "ownership hasn't changed it at all. Ever -flowing streams • r a r e 1 y `change unless the hand of man diverts their course. I watch the sparkling water gurgling over the stoney creek -bed and I thought of Tennyson's "Brook" -"Men may come and mel] may go, but I go on forever." And so, apparently, does the Twelve Mile Creek. A. Unique Church Unique among all''the old meet- inghouses and churches of ,Massa- chusetts is the First Parish Meet- inghouse, commonly called the "Old Ship," at Hingham. The Old Ship is the oldest church building in New England; the oldest wooden one and the oldest in continual use in the United States. Architecturally it stands alone, the one example of this primitive type which has been restored to its original condi- tion. • The Old Sliip, thecond meet- inghouse built by theFirstParish in Hingham, stands on the slope of the hill above Main Street. Reasons for the name would seem to be sufficiently obvious. It was built by ship carpenters. and the heavy knees and other curved timbers of the roof certainly sug- gest the fratne of an old wooden ship, Trees were felled near by, by members of the parish, and in addition some of the timbers in the first little building were used in the new one. The original structure was built in 1681. In 1730 the extension for the west gallery was made, and in 1755 that on the opposite side. It was at this time that the remark- ably high pulpit and the first box news were built, in place of the crude wooden benches used for the first 75 years. We suppose it was tor use Ot]tli this pulpit that the • red velvet pulpit-cuchion and case" •:were obtained from the "New Brick" meetinghouse (the "Cock- erel") in Boston, in exchange for six cords cif wood daring the hard :winter of 1779... . The first English visitor to Hing- ham, as far as is known, was Cap- tain John Smith. After taking Part in the Jamestown settlement, 11e bad returned to .England; and in 1614 -six years before the set - Helmut of Plymouth -he was cho- sen by a compatly of London mer- chants to head an expedition to New England. Reaching land with his ships near Monhegan Island, and the Maine coast. he followed the shore Southward with eight m.en in a small boat and entered Colmasset harbours -From "Chur- ches of Old New England," by George Prancia Marlowe. 1 Lo e Musk Oxen DON'T Smell Musky The musk ox is not an ox and there is nothing musky about it, "it smells good." This informa- tion which rests on the authority of Mr, John J, Teal, might at first glance seem to be of value only to a prospective contestant on a radio quiz show, but Mr. Teal has a much more serious interest in the matter. 1Iusic oxen, he is almost sure, can be domesticated, ide is planning an expedition to Ellesmere Island to bring back eight calves and prove his theory on what Toynbee would call the ' challenging terrain of the New England states. Mr. Teal is an American anthro- pologist and arctic explorer, and he is not alone in his belief that the musk ox may some day be led into its stall. Vilhjalniur Sedans - son, in his. "Arctic Manual," con- siders domestication to be at the very least an attractive possibility. Stefansson quotes Peary, who may be sure to have been quite hungry at the time, as saying that musk ox meat tasted better than domes- tic beef. The flesh of an old bull musk ox may taste a bit musky, but this, according to Stefansson, is also true of old seals, old car- ibou and old domestic sheep. Music ,ox milk is of about the consistency of commercial light cream and has a flavor similar to that of Jersey milk. Even in its wild state the musk ox has an un- usually large Milk yield and is po- tentially an excellent dairy animal. On these two counts then, meat and milk, the musk ox, if amen- able to reason, could rival the cow. But it could go further than that. The word musk ox is a misonmer, the animal is really half way be- tween the cow and the sheep. Like the sheep it yields an abundance of fine textured wool. This unex- ploited natural wealth is shed in the spring and rifts idly over the tundra of Canada's Arctic islands. But the musk ox may not take too kindly to the experiments. It bas already been tried with un- certain success by the Norwegian Government at Spitzbergen and by the United States Government on 14funivak Island in the Arctic. Musk oxen have very good reason .to fear human beings; against al- most any other animal they are practically invulnerable. Unfor- tunately for it the musk ox had perfected its means of defence be- fore its ingenious neighbor invent- ed the bow and arrow, The animals form a sort of Maginot Line, or rather circle, The great bulls face outward, shoulder to shoulder and the weaker members of the herd find adequate security in the centre. Protected by their shaggy manes, their low slung horns and their powerful forelegs the bulls can make short work of their four -legged enemies. But they present a standing target to the hunter and only strictly en- forced laws have saved therm from extinction, This Maginot mentality might sem to indicate that musk oxen are none too adaptable to a chang- ing environment, But Mr, Teal is convinced •that he can win them over to domesticity and if he does it may well be as he says "the greatest contribution to agricult- ural economy since the taming of the cow." Waggling Bees Dr. Karl von Frisch, ' professor at the University of Munich 1s Germany said: "Bees talk, Fish smell as well as hear." '1'l]e professor paused to let this sink in, 'Then he enlarged on the subject, "Bees do not speak, of course," lie said, "They waggle. They have different waggles for different thing', They have two basic topics of conversation. One is food, When a bee. locates nectar, by a certa'n number of waggles per Minute, it tells the hone folks exactly Trow far they will have to trate! It also twag't;les in the direc- tion of the nectar," The professor then talked about fish. "They smell food in the water," he said. "They can hear, too. Once sve put a student in an aquarium tante and played a violici. He didn't hear it, but the fish did. There is one i4 ecies of fish, the knurrhabn, that almost talks. The stale stakes a soft growl, it's a signal. The female knurrltahn hears it and coulee to him. :Then lie stops growling.' �+t179 o Fully installed ,n ' your own home or cottage, o complete Sewage Disposal System to, Toro! districts No running water required Moderate cost, budget terms Write Or call for free folder and all information iogrown Toenails Nan 1•',x reilevet, noir tnstantl3 nnrr removes utgrowa partum nt mall in e few npplirai'nny ;S1 50 WART FIX Guaranteed rpm.* '4 nrto Stile tin abndrea. 75r CORN FIX Removes eurt,8 and eailuses rn Ill alto Utes.
