If you were single, living alone, you might really grow desperate, dreading each Morn- ing's coming, knowing the heartache it would bring. But you are not alone. You are a wife and a mother, with re- sponsibilities which you must carry through. Your husband is a grave problem, and often you despair of the future; mo- mentous as that problem is. you .have to handle it. More important are your children, whose fresh young lives are just beginning Only you can protect them from their errant father, offset his lamentable influence, and guide them rightly. Their destiny lies in your hands. With all these obligations be- setting you, there can be little leisure to mourn a lost love When the temptation confronts you, remind yourself that there could never have been happi- ness for you with this man, for he was married when you first met. It is your seeing him late ly that has brought back all the grief you suffer now. Be grateful, then, for these responsibilities that demand all your energies. As the chil- dren grow, you will live your youth again in their fuller lives, and find the solace which only a good mother knows. Mean while, live one day at a time, with no dread of future to- morrows.— And remember, no misfortune descends upon us which we are not given the strength to bear. Go back to your church, renew your faith in it and in yourself, and the peace that you yearn for will come to you. Why .mourn for a happiness which never could have been? Live in today, work its prob- lems out, and know the peace that comes from accomplishment.

Blosson, of Brooklyn, New York. who a few weeks ago was certi- fied to have died from a heart attack. His body was taken to an un- dertaken for embalming. As he lay in the mortuary, one of the staff was horrified to notice that his eyes were flickering slightly. They rushed the man to hospi- tal where, twenty minutes later he sat up suddenly and declared: "Whoever said I was dead? 1 certainly am not." A similar case of a mane con ing to life" again was reporter. from New York three years ago The than, aged 65, was twice prre nounced dead within four hours —and twice revived bv heart massage.

Empire Day week-end—and- the weather such a disappointment to those living in the city who had plan- ned a long week -end in the coun- try; and for home gardeners, anx- ious to put in plants and seedlings now the danger of frost appears to be over. Come to think of it, isn't it foolish the way we plan, for either work or pleasure, with- out allowing for the fact that the weather, or circumstances, or family responsibilities, may make it impossible for us to carry out our program. We plan without a margin. And yet a margin is so necessary. It is a safeguard against disappointment; a place to re - 'treat when plans- fail to material- ize. Remember the time when in- vitations to both public and so- cial events often had in brackets, after the time and place was given, (D.V.) — meaning "Deo Volente" or "God Willing". D.V. is a term that is hardly used at all these days—in fact what D.V. stands for may be completely lost on present-day readers. We make plans to suit our own conveni- ences—very rarely do we think or say to ourselves, "God Willing". And so, if and when our plans don't work out the way we ex- pect, there is no margin of re- treat. We feel hurt as a result and go around with a chip on our shoulder. I remember, some years ago, one business -roan -farmer, a mid- dle-aged bachelor, very efficient and uptodate. He planned every hour of every day, for himself and his hired, help. Ask hits on Satur- day when he planned to start hay- ing and he would tell you—"Well, I figure I'tt be in the first field by 10 o'clock Tuesday morning." Or ask him about his milk produc- tion and he would say'--"Nex't month I l a.ve three more cows coning in, then I shall be ship- ping five cans daily." That term- er planned without a margin. The result was continuous frustration. A heavy rain or the loss of a cow completely upset his calculations. One day he was found lying in his own driving shed, a discharged gun by his side. Probably the happiest farm folk are those who allow a good wide margin in planning their farm and home operations; who always have asubstitute plan if circumstances make it impossible to carry out the original one. Heavy rain may stop seeding for a day or two—but it is a good chance to clean up the driving shed. Or Mrs. Fanner may be all set to put in garden. And then it rains ... well, there'll be another day. Might as well get the mend- ing out of the way—or go to that meeting I thought 1 would have to miss. One busy women 1 know has to work lists most of the time— one is headed "Things 1 Must Do" —the other "Things I Would Like to Do". This woman always plans her work, day by day, but when weather or circumstances upset her plans regarding things that must be done, then she seizes the opportunity for one of the more enjoyable but less urgent jobs from the second list. As to that, last Thursday there must have been a great many omen who were falling back on second choice jobs on account of the cool weather. One of the W.I. branches in this district chartered a bus and the members went oxn a sight-seeing, fact-finding trip„ which ineluded making a round of a large stone quarry, where several power shovels were in operation, a visit to Hamilton's famous Rock Garden, also to Dun- durn Castle and Museum, once the home of Sir Allan McNab; ra conducted tour of the Sovereign Potteries, and a look-see at the Mills Library at McMaster Uni- versity. Since the bus was not quite full a friend and 1 were in- vited to go on the trip. My day was already planned but my plans had been frustrated due to very necessary but undelivered mer- chandise, That trip was second choice but I probably derived more lasting satisfaction fram it than I would have done from the work that had been my original. plan. Friday and Saturday I was busy —getting ready for a party of five that we were expecting on. Sunday—only before the day wag out the five became severs. Part- ner had the lawn nicely cut so there was no wet grass to walls. through. There is plenty of lawn but it is no trouble to cut. Why should it be . .
