He has caused me such distress: He has no con- sideration at all; he says I hive. to give him a place to sleeji, and do his laundry and cooking. He tells me if I want any help, to get married again. "I leave never had any help. I've worked since he was a baby. I've been under the doctor's care for eight months, but I can't afford to stay home. "My son has worked for a year now, and gone to school four hours a week. He never gives me any of his wages, just says he's taking care of himself. He is nice to me only when he wants something.

WAIT AND HOPE Discouraged as you are about your boy, a lad Of 16 who holds a job and goes to school, too, must have his good points. If he spends all he makes on him- self, that is natural, for he has been raised to depend on you for all his physical needs; it is rather late to expect him to change that attitude. Your friends are probably right, but this is no time to censure you for in- dulging him; it is foolish to ex- pect a mother not to spoil her fatherless child. He might have been trained in responsibility, too, but he was not, so his pres- ent arrogance is not unusual. It is good news that he wants to join the service. There he will get the discipline he has not known. Army discipline has grown a backbone in many a spineless youngster, and if your boy has good stuff in him it will bring it out. Association with hundreds of other lads will show his place in the group, and should develop sportsmanship and recog- nition of the rights of others. I have no doubt he will soon grow a deep respect for Home -and - Mom, and breed a new apprecia- tion of all you have clone for him. All this is not, I think, what he expects to find in service, but it is what he will get. His living expenses will be covered, and that burden removed from your tired shoulders. As his mother, you are entitled to his monthly allowance, remember, and that will ease your circum- stances, too, Write him regularly—loving letters packed with neighborhood gossip, send him homemade goodies as you can—and hope. I think you safely can. - ]If you znust bring up an only child alone, try not to spoil, him, but instill a sense of responsi- bility and manliness. It pays , . .

It is being cut in Hatton Garden, London centre of the diamond industry. As big as a saucer and weighing four times as much as the fabulous Koh=i- nor, (which is 185 carats) it will be sliced into three small pieces and a larger one. The king size goes to the Queen as a Corona- tion gift. No bids are asked for the rest of the stone. It is priceless. The Koh -i -nor, which now takes second place among the Queen's jewels, has a history go- ing back six hundred years. It once• belonged to an Eastern prince who tried to hide it from thieves by putting it in his turban —but one of his wives gave the secret away. ray Feel t E C ® These toothsome Flaky Coffee Cakes are a sample of the superb results you get with new Fleisch- mann's Royal Fast Rising Dry Yeast !

HRONIC ES '1, p. We shall soon be living on the outskirts of our county • town••= close to a new industrial -plant, That is, unless present plans are drastically changed. •Not our plans—I don't mean we are mov- ing off the farm, far from it -- it just is that the town is stretch- ,ing its boundaries and coming out to meet us. Not immediately of course, things like that don't happen overnight. There will be arguments and counter -argu- ments; annexation by - laws and all that sort of thing. But the change will come eventually— you can't stop progress, even if • you happen to be "agin it". Our small county town of Mile - ton has been practically at.• a standstill for years. and years, and now suddenly it looks as if we might see a bit of mushroom growth. And why not?. The huge Ford plant is only about 20 miles away; Milton •airport, and its in- dustries 15 miles; two railways by-pass the town; a big factory,. which, until now, was -Milton's main industry, .can supply every type of screw -nail likely to be called for; and there. is all kinds of farm land that can probably be bought for industrial sites and building projects, .One of our neighbours recently sold his farm to at. s eel company, to be the site of a new factory. No doubt there will be more farm land going the same way. And there will certainly be plenty of farms sliced up when the new Montreal to Windsor highway goes through this district, crossing No. 25 at an, at present, undetermined point. Perhaps you think it is a shame so much good farm land should be taken up that way. 1 quite agree. It seems like economic suicide to thus undennine;„„in one of its most productive areas, what - it has been generally agreed is Canada's basic industry—agricul- ture. But perhaps it is just as well. I guess we have reached the stage when many farmers think the proverbial worm knew what it was doing when it turned, So, when farmers in this, and other industrial areas, are given a good offer for their property, it is usually accepted. Of course, any farmer worthy of the name hates to see the old place go; to have factories and storage sheds built on his fertile field,, but then on the one hand he remembers the price of cattle and hogs; the glut of milk on the market; the threatened decrease in the price of that same milk to the farmer —to say nothing about margarine and the possible inroads of syn- thetic dairy products, Very few fanners, however, wan, to see a ban on edible oils. On the other hand the farmer thinks of the fellows who work in industry; of the • returns tor their labour, and short working day as compared with his own; and he figures he might just as well be getting a share of the big wages himself instead of making a bare living, and, by his hard work adding to the surplus that already exists. Many farmers' sons have already got on the in- dustrial band -wagon so that the - greater number of farms are now owned and operated by older men, and it is these same men - that we find only too glad to dispose of their farms if the price offered -is good enough. What will be -the result? May. be ten or fifteen years from now a middle-aged married couple—. Mr. and Mrs. Rip Van Winkle— ISSUE 15 1954 will decide to take a run out to the country "to get away from it all". They will drive for miles and all they will see is huge chimney stacks and flat -top fac- tories. Mrs. Van Winkle will turn to her husband and exclaim in distress—"But, Rip, I thought we were to take a drive through the country! Where IS the count- ry, Rip. . . , where are all the lovely farm 'places we used to know; the contented cows graz- ing on tree -shaded pastures? I was even hoping we might find a farmhouse where we could buy some real milk, or perhaps a little cream. I ani so tired of synthetic products. Why is it so hard to get real dairy produce now, Rip?" "Well, now—that's along story. A story of supply and demand, Synthetic products caused many farmers to go out of business. There are still dairy farms far- ther out in the• country but dairy products are now in the luxury class. The general public has to be content with synthetics. T.Tiey wanted them in the , first place because they were cheaper. Now • they have what they asked for and don't like what • they have got too well." "Well, then, we might as well go hone, ,Rip—we haven't time to drive any farther. And I was so hoping, we could have gone home with some real milk," said Mrs. Van .Winkle. with - a sigh. "And; -oh my, •wouldn't it have been a treat?" she added. Rats Drink ,; Aballs ! A select colony of white rats is drinking highballs for science. Dr, Ralph W. Schaffarzick and Bev- erly J. Brown are setting up the drinks at Stanford School of Medicine in San Francisco. Object: A better anticonvulsant drug to aid victims of epilepsy, • Such drugs are known, but before any of thein can be prescribed for human beings, exhaustive studies • of their effect on the rats must be made, Dr. Schaffarzick and Miss Brown report on their work in Science. There they say an alcohol, meth3-lparafynol, was declared to be a safe anticonvul- sant, but they found that it im- paired the function of the liver. Alcohols closely related to methylparafynol are now the sub- ject of investigation. Of these the most promising are tertiary but- anol and diethylcarbinol. Both are more effective than phenobarbit- al, one of the most potent anti- convulsant drugs known. Wedges Under Their Bee ." They Can Sleep "Ont The Lever The inhabitant of Lune er$, azlt ancient town in Lower 1 ax- • oily, escaped being bombed out of their homes during the war, but now they face the prospect that the relentless forces of na- ture will succeed where the war Tailed, The heart of the town, about two-thirds of a mile square, stands on an under- ground salt deposit which is con- stantly being washed away by a subterranean river. The surface has been sinking ah inch or two a year for the last '70 years, and the rate now is increasing. Houses lean in all directions, with cracked walls and sloping floors, The Town Council has an- nounced that evacuation of at least some houses will be in- evitable this year, and a relief home-building program is being pushed ahead. But the councillors admit that it will not be easy to turn the people out. The law, as it stands, gives the council power to' or- der evacuation only if the foun- dations of the house give way, and most of the Luneburgers say theywilleewait for that. They =i, now that the center of Ltieebitrg` has been subsiding ever since the town was found- ed nine centuries ago, "and they believe that their homes will stand at least for a while yet. The men are most adamant in this attitude. The women, who have to cope with the effects of the sinking, are less sanguine about staying put. The lure of new homes with all modern con- veniences may yet persuade them — - and that, copncillors think, will win the battle. The women have plenty of reason to grumble. Pictures sud- denly fall from the walls, smash- ing glass and chinaware on the way. A new crack in the ceiling will produce a gentle rain of plaster and flakes of whitewash. In winter, with icy winds coursing over the heath, a house- wife may awaken any morning to find that her windows and doors will not shut, Six times or more each year, window and door frames of the affected houses must be recut to make up for the new angle of the walls. A common occupation for the family handyman is ' putting wedges under the beds so that the family can sleep on an even 'keel. Cooking on a sloping stove or gas range is a special art, It pays to have tall saucepans and pots —and to have them only half full. Sonia of the streets are like a big dipper. Parts have sunk about 4' fee in the last 70 years, The latest expert opinion which the Town Council Obtain ed tl°om the Hannover Techni- cal College contained the grim forecast that the surface dete- rioration is likely to get worst this year, and more rapidly than ever. Luneburg's salt deposits have not always been a source of trouble. Once the salt trade made Luneburg an important cont- mercial center — until in the micldle of the 17 century. Then Its salt deposits—and wealth— began to wane. SPL1TTI NC RELIEVED Pi t And the RELIEF IS LASTING For fast relief from headache get INSTANTINE. For real relief get INSTANTINE.
