I recently applied for OM- *meat and gav,e the three references requested. Someone has told me singe that this was a rude thing to do, without first asking permission: to use those „ navies. Is that correct? A. Orelinarily, YOU should aek permission first, But if time does not allow' this, you should inform those persons that you teolt, the liberty of using their names as reference, Q. Is tt. peeper for the bride- groom ti give his bride some- thing for the, boniq as his wed- ding gift? A. This is not customary. His special gift to her should be something for her own personal adornment—usually jewelry of some kind. Q. Should the candles, on the dinner table be lighted after the guests •have seated themselves? A. No; they should be lighted immediately before dinner is an- nounced. Q. What are the duties of the maid-ohlionor while the marri- age ceremony is caking place? A. She stands nearest the bride, takes her bouquet or prayer book while the ring is being put on, returning them at the proper time, and arranges the bride's train when she turns from the altar to' proceed up the, aisle after the ceremony. Q. Is it obligatory to reply to letters, of condolence? A, Yes; send brief letters of thanks to everyone who has sent flowers or personal, letters. Q. Is it permissible to sip water while one 'has food in one's mouth? A. This is considered very bad manners. Q. I have been invited by a boy to attend a fraternity dance, and he has made reservations for me in the hotel iii that town. He has offered to pay the bill, but my mother says this is wrong. What is correct? A. You pay beth, your travel- ing and hotel expellees. Any entertainment expenses 'during your visit, of 'course, are paid by your escort. . Q. Is it proper to send out wedding invitations and an- nouncements in the name of the bride's brother, if their parents are 'dead? A, Yes; this is quite often done. Q. Is it the girl's privilege to select the table when entering a restaurant with a male escort? A. No; she should allow her escort to do this. • They Clean Forgot Our Marilyn Upside-Down Bananas large mailbox it has had th. post knocked off three times. holes shot through it by hunt- ers,- the box several times re- moved by Hallowe'en Prank-% sters, used as a nesting place by starlings, backed into by pass- ing motorists, and clipped off by snowploughs and graders. May- be we have a little more Mail- box trouble than the rest of the people on our highway because it so happens that our laneway is the only one for half-a-mile without a grade so it conies in very handy for motorists look- ing, for a place in which to turn. Of course if they happen to turn short and back into our mailbox, what does it matter?' Another dent or tWo in a bat- tered mailbox won't make any difference. Just the other day I went down to put a letter in the box and found yet another car had hit it, jamming the sides in so that the box would- n't open. With these various conditions in mind when we ac- quired a name-plate, we thought it would be leis eikely toedonie to grief a little-piece back from the mailbeec. But apparently that doesn't satisfy the inspector ' of rural services. We think it is just another case of quibbling at straws. If we had a legiti-6 mate .complaint to make to the postal , department—which could have been d6ne many times in the past—how much attention would it receive? Most of our mail-couriers have been good men—we have no complaints on that score. They have a difficult job these days and* we appreci- ate the service they give. has again been chalked up in retail stores. Quite' confusing, isn't it? In the meantime there are dozens of, ways in which ser- vice charges have been increas- ed during the post-war period of expansion and prosperity. There are inspectors for this, that and the other, unheard of twenty-five years ago, Every new inspection department, fed- eral, provincial and county, gives someone a job and in- creases cost of production, Some are necessary,' some Seem to be quite superfluous. Some inspec- tors do a good job, others are over-officious. Even the postal department has inspectors running' around the country making sure that the names' of rural' boxholders are painted on theii4 mail-boxes, Such identification is an excell- ent idea but why an inspector? Seems to me inspection into oth- er branches Of the Postal service would be' more appreciatdd: so that it wouldn't sometimes take three or fettle days for a letter to come , thirty or forty miles. Coming back to rural, mail- bexes. We gotinto trouble our- selves because we have 'our name plate—illuminated—en the gate post. 'instead of the enail- box. We -obeyed the spirit of the law but not the, letter, in that we proyided identificetion of our abode but did not paint our name' en both' sides Of the mailbox as required 'by' law, so' of course' we are liable 'to' have our mail service suspended. Our reason for . doing it the way, we did? Well, since we bought a Bananas grow in great bunch- es. When first you see such a bunch hanging from a banana tree, you may think that the whole bunch has been turned topsy turvy. Instead of pointing toward the ground, each banana points upward so that the bunch looks as though it had been turn- ed upside down. The bunch is cut from the tree while the ban- anas are still green, /or if they were allowed to ripen on the tree the skin would break open and insects would crawl in upon the fruit, spoiling it for us. For- tunately, bananas ripen perfect- ly at room temperatures. The following is an Associated, Press summing up of United States reaction, to sports events of 1954. It is interesting to note that Marilyn Bell's across-the- lake swim doesn't get even a mention. Nor, 'for that Matter, does the Edmonton-Alouette battle. Whirling into the final 100 yards of the "mile of the ceri- tury"—,featuring the only two runners ever to break the four- minute mile—Australia's record- holding John Landy led. Britain's Roger Bannister 'in the climax event of the British Empire- Games at Vancouver. ' Landy had been in front al- most all the way and seemed headed' for victory in the great- est mile ever before a packed crowd of: 35,000' in the sun- drenched stadium. He peeked to the left to see where the Briton was and in a flash the long- striding, tall, slender Bannister passed him on his right. "I looked back on the inside," said Landy afterward, "and just then he, passed me on the out- side. I shifted into high gear, but I couldn't catch him." The 25'-year-old, 6-1 Bannister —first man to crack the four- minute mile barrier—breasted the tape four yeards in front of Landy as the two both finished in less than four minutes, an- other track first. Bannister was timed in 3:58.8 and Landy in 3:59.6. Lived Up • This memorable race, which more than lived up to the wild- est expectation of the most op- timistic track bug, provided the sports "thrill of the year," in the. opinion of sportswriters and sportscasters who participated in the 24th annual year-end Asso- ciated Press poll. The race matched the studious. Englishman who made headlines around the world when he ran the first four minutes or better miles—a 3:59.4 performance at Oxford, England, on May 6— and the Australian student- teacher who broke Bannister's' record with an electrifying 3:58 run at Turku, Finland, June 21. This great moment in •sport was watched by millions via the magic of television as were most of the other pulsating sports dramas of the year, The Bannister-Landy mile was named the highspot of the year by 21. of 117 sports writers and sportscasters, while another 18 thought Bannister's pioneer sub- four minute performance in the quiet of Oxford was first. On a basis of three points for first, two for second, and one for third, the Bannister-Landy race got 82 points and the 'Bannister barrier-breaker 61, Third Place The thrilling leate of the Giants iii the pressure-cooked atmosphere of the World.

Me., Bromfield says that almost any type of farming pays, off better than milking cows and that if the present trend continues, more farmers will realize it and there is liable to be a shortage of good, clean milk Within a couple of years. In his area farmers are getting seven cents a' quart for milk that sells at twenty-two 'cents, Well, Mr. Broriefield isn't the only one that has made that discovery. Plenty of other far- mers are of the same opinion. The trc uble is, unlike the owner of Malabar Farms; there isn't much they can afford to do a- bout it. Dairy farming may no longer be actually profitable but if a farther can only break even he has at least got something to live on. Another little news-item I read last week was 'quite signi- ficant. It related to rising im- einployinetet figures and said this was no surprise to farm ederiernists because once the faith income shows a serious dee crease, trade and industry is bound to suffer. Less farm in-, virile equals less buying power, lees articles 'that need to be manufactured—and so, less ern- tiles/nett. A logical 'sequence, fel* since farmers ate still the largest buying group In the country? The trouble is faxen inebilies fluctuate to such an extent that very often the average farmer doesn't realise how badly his iii- come is reduced until it is too late to 'do rntioh about it, But sometime there Will lie. a gen- eral day of reckoning—and it won't be a happy' Odeaelen.

Why won't they let tbe men have a little fun without rain, ing such a fuss? If a wife can't hold her husband, why shouldn't some other girl try to get him? It's an exciting game — and after all, his wife had her chance!" So writes a young woman nearly 30 who has been dating a a married man. Now his wife has found out, "I called her up," continues the writer, "and told her it wasn't my fault. If he'd rather be with her, he'd stay home ..
