So serious is a Paris professor
about this laughter business that
he has been giving lessons oft
how to laugh, first he gets his

Then he plays a laughing record

If peeple would only exchange
more jokes and have more fun
in all they do, misunderstandings
would vanish from the world,
thinks Mr. George Lewis. chief
of The National Laughter Foun-
dation,
What is laughter? Take a deep
breath and read this ancient
technical description , "II'S a
spasmodic movement of various
muscles oe the body beginning
with those which half close the
eyes and those which draw bark-
wards and upwards the sides of
the mouth and then open it to
expose the teeth, next afteettog

Then it is more than likely the
incoming president or secretary
gets in a panic and studies the
book from beginning to end.
But however much she studies,
she cannot, in one gulp, gain
the same amount of knowledge
from the book that she 'would
have done had it been taken
in small doses over a period of
years. Maybe the W.T. Hand-
book should carry an additional
slogan besides "For Home and

Found. Big Emerald
Inside A Fish
When a haddock was cut open
in e fishing boat off Wiek, Caith-
ness, recently, a 1943 three-penny
bit was found,. The finder said
he would keep it as a mascot
for the rest of 'his life.
Many seamen believe that Any- •
• thing found in .a fish Is lucky.
A caught eft the Demi
coast in 1939 certainly brought •
luck to a holiday-making angler,.
He and his wife decided to have
It for supper and while prepar-
ing it he found a large .emerald
in its gullet.
• It proved to be.partof the pro-
ceeds of a robbery, How the,
emerald got into, the fish's gullet
was never discovered, but the •
finder pocketed the $250 reward •
which had been offered several
years before for its recovery.
When a: Grimsby trawler
reached port in 19ga, a Haberman
named Blyth proudly exhibited
a sovereign which he had,..found
inside a codfish caught 190 miles
from Spurn Head. It bore_ the
date 1915 and appeared to have
been battered. by' the force of
an explosion which appaeently
blew up an unknown ship dur-
ing the first world war,
ft was believed that the sov-
ereign was gulped by the cod
as it went shimmering into the
depths of the sea,
Cod are very greedy and: will
swallow anything bright. In the
Gulf of St.. Lawrence a fisher- -
man found an emerald brooch in
a large cod. A Kingston shop-
keeper's assistant 'found a gold
wedding ring in the mouth of a
cod bought at the Billingsgate
Market in London.
Another gold ring was found
inside a 7 lb. cod landed at Whit-
by. A jeweller who examined it
said it was of the design known
as the lover's knot which was
very popular forty years ago.

Men and his girl, have every-
* thing in conunon, but to marry
4' one whose ,,pattern of living
a is soopposed to your own is
• to start a battle of tempera-
ments that could well lead to
disaster. Your picture of mar-
riage is shoeing a home with
your husband, raising a fam-
ily and making that home the
centre of your life and theirs.
There must be love, of course,
but love alone cannot guar,
antee a good life for either of
you. If your fiance expects to
continue finding his pleasure
mingling with his men friends,
you two would be in conflict
from the start.
* What you want is content-
* ment within your own walls, a
spiritual companionship, a
" sense of well-being based on
* just being together.
* Can it be that you two dif-
*fer so widely that you haven't
* anythinig in common but
a physical love? Gather up
* your courage and find out
* whether he intends to be a
* part-time husband whose home
* Is a. place to eat and sleep, or
* if he is willing to give up play-
* ing at life and follow the de-
* sign of mature couples who
* find their reward in a rich
* family relationship for them-
* selves and their children.
* If two people have not some

*- joy spending their leisure to-

SHE MISSES HIM
"Dear Anne Hirst:" I'm afraid
I've lost my boy friend. Some-
how he got the idea I wanted to
go steady; he didn't, so we part-
ed. I see him often, though. He
doesn't avoid me, but I miss him
so!
"I'd be thankful if you would
tell me how I can find out if
he still likes me, and how to get
him back. I know he doesn't go
out much with any other girl.
"There are two • other boys
that want to date me, Shall I
accept their offer?
LONESOME" •
* Girls your age have lots

• pression they want to mon-

• a lot of misunderstanding.
* This boy may ,grow interest-

after more peaches, But it wasn't
a straight trip there and back
—not with Bob driving! We
climbed the "mountain" by one
. road and came down by an-
other. It it could be called a
road. To be it was more like
a rocky winding trail through
the bush. Of course the view
was magnificent—the view al-
ways is from practically in-
accessible places. At the foot of
the hills we found many isol-
ated ranch-type houses built
among the shelter of the trees.
Very nice,• especially in sum-
met—it: that is what a person
likes. But in winter , I took
one look and had visions of
snow-filled roads with no ac-
cess co civilization except by
car—and how would a car get
through on seldom-travelled
roads? Supposing provisions ran
low—or worse someone was
suddenly taken ill? People seem
to go to such extremes in
choosing a place to live, Surely
there is a happy medium be-
twe"en living in a congested sub-
division and away out in some
neck of the woods? However, it
is a case of everyone to his
taste, I suppose, ,Come to think
of it I visited one family last
week 'who had found the happy

well hidden from the road and
yet only the distance• of the
farm sane stood, between the
occupants • and a very busy
two-lane highway, well serviced,
by buses running north and
south.

more in other ways. And it may
