"Dear Anne Hirst; I have
been going steadily for two
year's with a young Man Whoa

there are wonderful moments
when we seem to belong to each
other, I am sure he cannot go
on without my lcive and I know
I couldn't without his. When we
are alone he is kind and loving,
but in the company pa others

Well, we never know from
one week to, the next, what my
next column will be about. And
maybe that is just as well. There
are times when, if we were
forewarned we might be fore-
armed. On the other hand I
think it is better that a merci-
ful providence hides the future
from our mortal eyes. It might
be nice to know the good things
that lie in store for us. But to
know the bad. , . how could we
take it?
Last Tuesday, I took the early
train to Toronto. Generally I do
my business first and finish the
day by having,a couple of hours
with Daughter just before train
time. 'Bat , last Tuesday,. while
travelling along in the train, for
no special reason at all, I 'sud-
denly decided I would stop off
Parkdale and visit Daughter
first. I was met at the door by
tend either, and. I don't know
any of his friends. How can I
become more friendly without
appearing too forward?

WIDOW SEEKS `FRIENDSHIP
"Dear Anne Hirst; I am a wid-
ow and have moved to this small
town of "about 1,000 inhabitants.
I find, it lenely. I have met, a
very a fine - man, and twice we
have talked ~about business. I
find we have a lot in common,
and I'd like to become better ac-
quainted, I feel we could enjoy

am NOT interested in marrying

Some Odd Ways-Of
Making A Living
It was found recently that
there was too much unnecessary
noise in a large south of Eng-
land hospital, so the committed
decided-to appoint a "preventive
maintenance man."
His job? To spend the day
going round, every part of the
hospital with an oil-can and
screwdriver attending to all
squeaking doors and banging
windows. It keeps him very
busy. To his friends he jokes:
"Mine's a hush-hush job."
There's ne end to the novel
ways in which men and women
can earn a living. In London
there's a man who makes a good
income writing other people's
love letters. In New York a pret-
ty and shapely girl spends many
of her working hours in water
—testing bathing costumes. She
has to report whether they are
proof against shrinking.
In a fishing village near Cape-
town lives a man who is paid
to gaze out over the sea through
binoculars.. His job is to watch
for shoals Of fish and signal their
presence to fishermen.
Soine women who signed on
at an employment exchange one
autumn day explained that dor-
itig the summer they were em-
ployed at a big fun fair as "pro.,
fessierial screamers." They had
been paid' to "proVeke ekeite-
merit" on flip-flaps, roundabouts
and joy wheels: •

Some People might, say I Was
PsYebie but I would prefer to
think an 1,34Iseen Powep directed
my plans that day, I didn't
know about Daughter being in
the hospital because she has ,the
foolish notion that Mother and
Dad Shatildll'a be worried uns
.necessarily therefore we were -
not to be told, especially as she
oxpected to be home, again on
the Thursday. In the meantime
Joy was coming in, to take'
charge of Dave, But things
didn't pan out that way, Daugh-
ter didn't get along as well as
was expected and is still in the
hospital. There had to be blood
transfusions, penicillin and so
on, However, 'she coming"
along fine now and expects to
be out ls/tondasr or Tuesday, joy
and Bob took David hotate to
.Qakville with them. They were
here yestefelay and they all
seemed to be rgetting along to-
gether very nicely, There is
only one drawback—Dave has
beenedepled the brother or sister
he might have had come fall—
but thank, heaven, he still has
a mother. So, in spite of upsett-
ing events, we can still count
our blessings. It is no trouble
at all to 'name them one by one'.
Yes, last week was a busy
week all right, I was in. Toron-
to again last. Friday—just to the
hospital. Saturday I was more
or less catching up with my
work--and incidentally I didn't
at all like Rising that hour of
sleep that had to be sacrificed
foie the sake of daylight saving
time. In fact I dislike fast time
more with every passing year,
especially the first few days. At
one time the change-over served
a good purpose—during the war
and when there was a definite
shortage of hydro power. Later
it was argued that daylight sav-
ing time gave working people
more opportunity for gardening
and working around the home.
But now, with a five-day•work-
ing week, I can't see that fast
time for industrial workers is
necessary at all. It disrupts mail ,
services the difference between
bus and 'train time still confuses
many people, and or farmers,
short of hired help, daylight
saving time is now a greater
disadvantage than at any time
in its history. If the powers that
be would experiment for just
one year by staying on standard
time all the year round then we
would have some means of com-
parison, some way to determine
which is the better way for
everyone concerned under pre-
sent living and working, condi-
tions,
One thing is certain, the sea-
sons don't folks* the calendar
any more. Here it is nearly the
first of May (will be before this
gets into print), ;the land is prac-
tically water-logged, and yet
more rain fell last night and
still more is predicted for today,
so we are bound to have a very
late seeding But the birds are
faithful to the seasons, come
wind or weather. Last Saturday
Partner say one poor 'exhausted
little swallow return to the
barn. He said the poor little
thing was so "beat up" there
wasn't a twitter out of it. It
just sat on a beam in the stable
and rested quietly all the time
he was milking, That nearly
alwayi happens—one wee swal-
low returns and two or three
days later the rest of the fam-
ily follow, I wonder does the

friends, it is all 'right to come
