Stricken beyond cure, * she lies helpless, bereft of ac- * Live living. Her one happiness * lies in the belief that her huge * band stili loves her, Would * you destroy that faith? If you s try, I believe the man, in spite * of his deceit, would never " look you in the face again. Perhaps he is not divorcing her because he has no grounds; or beneath his sense of guilt, "' he has not the heart to deal ". her such a blow. Why should " he? You have been a willing "' partner in his duplicity. For * hien, the situation is well in * hand. a, Many a reader charges me * with blaming the other woman M an affair, and excusing the * man; but after all, when a "' man suggests an illicit alliance, * the decision is the ' woman's. * You went into this with your • eyes wide open and, loving him, I can understand you be- * lieved in his promises of mar- ^' riage. But when three long * years have passed With no ac- " tion, you should be smart * enough to see where you • stand. Tell him that you know it " now, and you are through " waiting, You may find lite back home * as dull as you expect. But at * least you will not know the * shame of destroying another • woman's faith. WHY NOT, PARENTS? "Dear Anne Hirst: I will soon be 15. The school prom is com- ing up, any my mother promises I can go • if I am asked. My problem is, no one knows this but a couple of the girls.

L ES ri Ge etelolieei P C tia,elee Last week I had a letter .from a friend that ended this way—•. "Why does everything happen to us?" The writer had good reason for asking that question as her family seems to have more than its share of trouble of various kinds. Long after I had read the letter the query she had raised remained in Any mind and 1 wondered how many of us, in our own time, have asked the same thing—and generally in connection with family problems. from which none of us escapes -- sickness, accidents, financial dif- . faculties, or quite often a com- bination of all three, for it would seem that trouble never conies singly. Often it is one thing after another and we think, even if we don't say it .-- "Why does everything happen to us?" Isn't. that right, friends, haven't you, more than once, had occasion to ' ask the very same thing? But supposing Lady Luck has •- smiled upon us—supposing the things we worried about never happened: the loved one who was ill made a tenntirkable recoveiv; the lack of tam m help was sudden ly solved by the return of a man • who had worked for us years ago; or housing accomodatioit was relieved in a miraculous way by an offer to those who shared our home, An unexpected legacy might even have come our way —or perhaps we hit it lucky on a radio programme! Or it could be that some member of our tam-. ily escaped unhurt in an auto- mobile ascendent. Now I wonder, when good, instead of bad little, conies our way, do we still say to ourselves ---"Why does every- thing happen to us!" 1 venture to guess that few of us even think Of asking such a question uncles those conditions. We tale it all for granted and go merrily on our way. Such illogical creatures as i'nost of us are! But then, we are no more he - consistent than the weather. Here we are, after an almost snowless winter --that is, in Ontario's ba- nana belt—ready and anxious to get on with our outdoor spring chores, and what sort of weather do we get? Snow, of all things . and .strong, cold, north -,west ISSUE 19 1959 winds. Too cold and rough to work outside with any degree of pleasure—or even inside with- out fires or furnace. In fact we might well say with Samuel Cole- ridge—"The spring, comes slowly up this way'', Or is it that we are a little previous in our an- ticipation of, its conning? Most of , us looked for an early spring, but, as so often happens, our expec- tations fell short. Yesterday, for instance—such a cold, miserable day—not much &lance of visitors, we thought. Bnt,'.by three o'clock we had a party of four, and, while I was getting tea for them, three more arrived. Today, Monday, we have ex- tra jobs to do. Right now, a man is at the barn dehorining a couple of heifers. Ayrshire cattle grow such wicked horns. You would think, after years of domesticity, cattle would stop growing horns =like the Polled Angus. Horns are not only a menace to farmers but also a menace to the cattle themselves. A cow, nearing caly- ing time, can receive injury by a bossy stable -mate, a little too busy with her horns. And what those same horns can do to a fence isn't funny. Sometimes we ----- OFT — OFA, ENi THE STILLY NIGHT stop the gi owtll of horns when the calves are tittle and some- times we don't. If vire have a run of several bull salver it:t succes- sion we have lost the habit by the tinte a heifer calf comes along. Another job on hand for today is an electrical check-up.. We find that switch boxes down the barn 'gradually get choked with dust and chaff, and when -this becomes damp, through humidity, or by repeated freezing and thawing, a short circuit will sometimes result—so we try to get ahead of the gate if we can. It is often quite a job to find an electrician who isn't too busy for these small jobs so when we do get a man here I generally have a job or two lined up for hit myself. This time in is ars outlet in my little office—at present I have ex- tension cords trailing across the floor because my room is the back half of what was o'ne big room when the house was wired. I re- member when the wiring was done the electrician said—"Don't ever be afraid of having too many outlets—and I'll guarantee that no matter how many I put its you will still find, as time goes on, that you haven't enough," He was right, there were 45 outlets to start with—and we _are still adding to that number. Some people do little odd electrical jobs like that themselves but in our family no one feels he knows enough about the work to do a safe job. For which I am very thankful.. i would rather we paid to have a job done by an expert than have it bungled by an ama- teur: Far better to be safe than sorry. HIS .FUNNIEST Jimmy "Schnozzola" Dter anfe thinks that the funniest line he ever'had in a show was from a scene of "Jumbo," the Rudgers- Hart - Hecht extravaganza that Billy Rose produced in the Hip- . podrome in 1936. Durante ap- peared upon the stage with a mammoth elephant in tow. sup- posedly stolen from a circus owner who was holding out 00 Jimmy's back salary. A constable stopped , h i m and demanded, "Where did you get that ele- phant?" Durante, the picture of outraged innocence, answered, "What elephant?" "That was such a wonderful line," recalls Emmy, "that even the elephant busted out laughin' a couple . time a week." At _ one performance the ele- phant, • named Tufty, forgot that he had been house-broken. Dur - ante sent theaudience into hy- sterics by exclaiming, "Hey, Tully, no ad fibbing." At the University of Wtsi onptii„ three scierlaSts insisted they heard corn c;row'ing one warm, quiet night un.August. In the middle of a 100 acre -urntieloi owned by the university they . . set up equipment to measure they wind and temperature and ther4: started recording all 'sounds old a tape recorder.. Later. tile. played the record back. Be idol tifying all other sounds picked up by the recorder, the scientists —an agronomist, a meteorologist and a science editor .:- picked out the sound made b,y growing corn. Couldn't be anything else, Experts say corn grows mostly at night, sometimes as much ars two to five inches a night. And, apparently, with a snapping, crackling sound.
