Zurich Herald, 1952-11-27, Page 2The cry tor help that one mother voices today is magnified by thousands of parents of girls. How can they explain t h e dangers of indiscriminate pet- ting, and not be thought spoil - sports? I quote: "My 18 -year -old girl goes to dances and some boy walks h e r home, I've al- ways encour- aged her to ask them in ... The first night they're here, on go the dim lights, and she starts her petting The boys seldom date her lung. When they do, they want to take her to open- air theatres. "I've tried to talk to her. She only says, 'You find fault with everything I do' And then days, even weeks, pass with her hardly peaking. I've had her Dad rea- son with her. She gives him a smart answer, and then doesn't talk to him either." "WHAT CAN WE DO?" "We are both heart -broken, but we don't know of a thing to do. "I will show her your answer, so she will know what other people think — and you don't have to pull any punches when you give it, either. What opin- ion have these boys of her? .. I read your articles every week. I just can't talk this over with my friends, I don't want any- one to know what we're going through!" * It is normal that young boys and girls are attracted to each * other. If they're fortunate, * most have plenty of inhibi- ,, tions to steer them straight; * and wise parents have taught ri i them that certain things just * are not done by nice people. * But the emotional, headstrong " girl is apt to go overboard. * She becomes a little prairie " flower, hourly a little wilder. • Boys have a swell time with * her; she is a GOOD SPORT " spelled in capital letters. She * has to keep a elate book so she • won't get mixed up. Transfer Designs In Color WI�4l+�i4retWien 4 " Sounds like fun, But what " happens? " Soon her social life will slow "' down. She'll be old to boys "' in their twenties, who are " planning their future. News * about her has got around. One * young pian mentions his " date with her; and with a • frankness and recitative hon- " esty, they discuss their respec- * tive evenings. Before she " )mows it, she has a reputation " --one which is a serious thing " for a young girl to be saddled " with. It soon reaches more mature ears. Unfortunately, " older women (particularly * boys' mothers) are likely to be '' the least charitable people • when the subject of their sons' * girl friends is concerned. A ".girl's good times can be spoil- * ed for years by that first ill- y' considered fling. • Of course, what she looks torn-ard to is marriage. When these boys she's petted • with are ready to settle down, * which girl do they choose to be the lady of the house, to present proudly to their busi- " ness associates, their college * chums? Not the girl with whom " those men have had petting • parties, not the girl who was a " good fellow with the whole " crowd. They'd rather introduce " as their wives the girls that all the boys tried to pet with, and " couldn't. * There is no harm in judi- " Oates petting, as this girl today * probably reminds her mother. * It is knowing when to stop, • that matters. And it is the girl * who leads a boy on, whom they * resent especially. Better to of- * ler a few coolish goodnight * kisses—with the understanding * that's all there is—than to in- * dulge in a prolonged petting party in a car, and d findin g * one's self sputteringly angry * when stumbling home alone. *,A man ,respecxs„a•girl foreplay-. * ing fair. But to be deliberately * provocative and suddenly turn "' the cold shoulder only results * in a deep-rooted grudge. A light heart is a grand an- " tidote for the headier passions. A girl can Laugh of a nuinber of advances Netter than she can argue them away, and keep a better spirit all around. Petting is a commodity in which there will never he a shortage. It's the average girl who permits it, the rare one who doesn't. Knowing this, why not make yourself a col- lector's item, rather than a bar- gain -counter unit? The girl who didn't kiss the first boy whd asked her, who " refused to indulge in heavy " petting, is the girl who will find on her doorstep, one bright " morning, the best matrimonial 4' bet in her little world. • TO " A BROKEN-HEARTED * MOTHER": What a pity that :e an 18 -year-old girl must learn * the hard way! If, instead of " resenting your counsel, she ." would realize 'hat you are try- " ing to make her more popular `r' with the right young men! " Show her this opinion today, " and say that if she'd like to * write me, I shall be happy to " have her letter. r` I have this to add: It may be accepted in ,your con -mien- " ity that unaccompanied girls * attend public dances. It is not " accepted everywhere—for one " reason, the girls may appear * "fair game." It may be that * the sort of boys your daughter * meets there think so, too. Any girl can offer petting to a new boy friend. Why not be different? it does not pay to cheapen oneself, as many a fool- ish girl has found out , ..

Old Jeb Sawyer of Eastport; for instance, was still working eight hours a day at the fishing wharf when he reached his hundredth birthday. The company thought it high time he retired on a pension, but Sawyer didn't like the idea at all. "Ding bust it," he exclaimed, "when I took this job in 1.870 the manager gave Ise his solemn word that it was PERM A N1',NT!"

Anyone who wanted cows might have bought them cheap around here last week—we Were so fed up. Before the first snck cow was better every cow ein the stable developed digesti"in trouble. We think it was soli* kind of weed they got hold :`tall in the back pasture, as the youil; cattle, on different pasture, we not affected. The vet came a1ohe and gave each animal an inje; ' . tion in the shoulder, to be foo, '° Speaking of locks—I remember lowed by tablets as a drench hearing about two families living every four hours. For fourteen, in the same neighbourhood. One • <family had all kinds of beautiful :heirloom silver yet the door of ?eir• home was never locked. Ilasey were always afraid friends rp',.ight call while they were away tend perhaps be in need of a rest. • • Members of the other family ':were inclined to be nervous and suspicious. Every outside door in • the house was locked before they ..left it. And yet there were oc- ;casions when they were sure bran, hoping the trick would_ :,people ha,d been around in their work. It did. In three days thWabsence, 'taking gas from the trouble was cleaned up. But we (garage or grain from the barn. It didn't take a chance on letting: the cows out to pasture, How ever, thehad other idea cows where they were left to „them selves. It . livened on Sunday •- -1ha been usv'ilecliV et duck -dinner at a neighbour's. We left about 12.30. The cows were in the barnyard, bawling lustily at being kept in. We were away less than two hours but that -was long enough for the cows to somehow loosen the chain on the gate and get to the alfalfa field. How they ever got that gate open we shall never know —must be regular bovine Boyds. However they couldn't have been out very •long when we came home, so their freedom was short-lived. They were soon rotesting noisly from the barn - stunt. Just in case half -expected visitors from Guelph might drop in while we were away I left a note pinned to the side -door for all to see, stating where we were and telling anyone whom it might concern to walk in, make themselves at home, and phone " us at the number I gave them. Maybe that sounds like tempting providence but it is our conten- tioza that anyone who wants to break in unlawfully while we were away would do so, locked dotlrs nothwithstanding. And in end case, insofar as strangers are concerned, Tippy works better than a Yale lock anyway. How- ,,evei', I must admit, locality makes a difference, In more • trickly populated areas an open house might not be such a good <.,.dea: cows ! Remember what I was saying about this drenching bus -k. last week? We struggled with five for one dose. By that time Partner was played outs Thinking that living cows an possibly a dead farmer wouldn't get us very far we decided to give up the fight. So, instead of, giving the medicine as a drench we crushed up the tablets and mixed them in with the chop and p yard again. I have said more than once in this column that cows apparently have some kind of uncanny intuition which tells them when it is Sunday, and when they are left alone. Last Sunday was just one more proof of cows, I wouldpass like to along a hint that may help some - of that statement. Before we leave the subject one, s o m e t i m e. Veternarians often leave you with big medi- cinal tablets that will neither crush nor dissolve. The ones we were given last week were sup- posed to crush quite easily. Easily ! ! I tried a fork, a roller, a knife—and even a hammer ! They would break but were too soft to crush. In desperation I tried the meat chopper: It was the very thing -- although even the chopper got plugged before I had my 84 tablet dose ground up, so I was glad when Partner came along to help with the job. So there you have it, friends, Perhaps you know a better way, if not I hope passing the word along will save someone a lot of grief. But I wonder if anyone would be as willing to try this little I', LISTLESS UT OF L` VE WITH I Mau wake up your liver bile .. . jump out of bed rarin' to go Life not worth living? It may be the liver!

Country folk have a very definite code of honour among themselves. Dis- trust among neighbours is rare— yet I have known farm folk who would not go to the barn without first locking up the house. It may have been fear of transients. if possessions create so much un- easiness then give ine less of this world's goods and greater peace of mind. For the present we don't have too much to worry about anyway ? "Look here," said the doctor, "you're only slightly run down. Go and cheer yourself up at one of these snappy revues, with dancing beauties. It will take your mind off business." "That's just what it won't do." muttered the patient. "I'm an artificial leg manufacturer." School Lunches Need Extra Care As much care and planning should go into the lunch young- sters take to school as a mother puts into any meal she serves on the dining room table, contends Miss Margaret E, Smith, director of nutritution• for the ,Health League of Canada. Furthermore, the box lunch must have eye appeal as well as high food value. "The noonday lunch should provide one-third of the whole day's requirements of the energy - producing, body-building foods," notes Miss Smith. "This means proteins, minerals and vitamins for growth -and repair of body tissues; and carbohydrates or starches, fats and proteins to yield energy for work and play." In ordinary grocery store par- lance, the nutritionist's sugges- tions boil down to these, which are based on Canada's Food Rules: Include about eight ounces of pasteurized white milk, varying this occasionally with butter- milk or pure fruit juices. Use whole grain bread for sandwiches, and see that the fill- ings provide proteins—meat, fish, cheese, eggs or cottage cheese (delicious mixed with crushed pineapple) . Put in at least one fresh vege- table—raw carrot strips, celery, a whole tomato, or a little salad made with cabbage parsley, green peppers or cooked green beans. For dessert use fresh fruit in place of sweets. An Ideal Food Mild flavor, delicate texture and high nutritional value com- bine to make both our fresh water and salt water fish one of Canada's best menu items, points out Home Economist Edith L. Elliot of the Federal Department of Fisheries, writing for the nu- trition committee of the Health League of Canada. "Too few Canadians fully ap- preciate the possibilities of fish and shell -fish in the diet or enjoy it as often as they might," de- clares Miss Elliot. • She goes on to divide fish into two broad classes, the non -oily or "dry" fish and the oily species. The latter, which include sal- mon, herring, shad, tuna and mackerel, supply about three times as much energy as the non - oily fish. The non -oily group in- cludes bass, catfish, trout, pick - =o) ere), pike, perch, cod, flounder, haddock, halibut, pollick and ' sole, Non -oily or "dry" fish, al- though not so full in flavor or so high in calorie value, are very easily digested. Their connectives tissue is gelatinous and breaks down easily in cooking. The water content of fish lo high, but the water in the tissues contains soluble protein and minerals — phosphorous, iron, copper, magnesium, fluorine and other minerals are present iota small amounts; and in the easrs of oysters, sardines, sprats and smelts the iron and copper are it► good supply.
