A Million To One You Ma'~ e Odd Ears
"How is your S411 getting 911
with his medical studies?" asked
Mrs. Jones of hot neighbour.
"Very well, thank you," was.
the reply, "he can already cur*
very small children."
It doesn't matter how good,
looking you are or' how photo-
genie, one thing is certain yOur
ears are •odd!
Youtv.aar&,am ,either different
shapes or even different 'Sizes.
You might not be able to tell
by leoking in a mirror but pho-
tographs 0 each ear, placed side
by side, would prove it.
If shapes and sizes are identi-
cal then yoU'll probably find
they are mit both plaped in
identical positions• at either side
of, your head. .
If both your ears are identical
in shape, size and position then
you can pat yourself on the
back as almost unique. You're
one in a million,
Ears area great give-away,
too, so far as age is concerned
because while you may have
stopped growing when you were
in your teens, your ears didn't,
They start growing arisen you
are born and keep on until you
die.
You, madam, may be very
proud of your delicate shell-like
ears but by the time you are
forty they will be considerably
bigger and not so shell-like.
That is why most elderly and
old people have large ears.
By the time a man is tarty,-
Ave he has started growing fine
hairs round the edge of his'ears
and on the lobes, By the time
he is fifty they have to be trim-
med each time he has a haircut.
You may boast about your exs-*
repent hearing but if you are
past thirty it isn't as good as it
was — very high pitched,
sounds will have passed beyond
the range of your ears,
If you are a cyclist you can
thank your ears for enabling
you to cycle safely down the
road. If you only walk, you can
still thank your ears for keeping
you on your feet,
The canals of your inner ear
are filled with liquid. They act
as a kind of spirit level and they
keep you nicely balanced. One
of the essentials in tight-rope
walking is to keep the head per-
fectly still so that at the first
sign of the liquid in the ear
tilting, it can be corrected.
This liquid can be upset when
you spin round rapidly and that
is why you feel dizzy for a mo-
ment. You may get a slight dize
zy feeling if you rise quickly
from a chair. It is just that the
liquid in your inner ear did not
adjust itself fast enough.
Ears are "passed on" from
father to son much more fre-
quently than eyes or noses. In
fact it is fairly certain that you
have the same shape and size
of ear as your father and as his
father. It wouldn't be an ex-

carried the covered pan outside.
Then I opened the doors and
windows But the air was heavy
and the smoke wouldn't budge.
So. I shut off the furnace and
turned on the fan, In ten min-
utes the house was free of
smoke. When Partner came in
he didn't know until I told him
that I had tried to burn the
house down.
How and why did, it happen?
I'll tell you—it may make some
other woman more cautious.
You see we have a new electric
stove with an extra quick ele-
ment. My old stove had solid
burners that took forever to
heat. Fat in the pan would never
catch fire on that stove. But this
one , . , well, Gordon Sinclair
was partly to blame. A startling
news story told with his usual
dramatic detail caused my at-
tention to wander. The Story?
An eleven year old girl gave
birth to a baby. Enough to make
any woman forget what she was
doing, wasn't it? -
So friends if you have a quick
heating element, watch out. Keep
a lid, handy, shut off the air and
smother the flames. Still more
important shut off the heat —
either that of Gordon Sinclair
or the stove. Both going at once
might lead to spontaneous com-
bustion!
HER FIRST DAY — The new Mist
America for 1958, Marilyn
Elaine Van Derbur began het
first day with the title in Atlan-
tic Sity. Marilyn had an early
morning run along the beget
as she wore , her new crow/
and carried a sceptre.
Seems to me the weather of-
fice and the C.N.E. officials
shculd have put their heads to-
gether and come up with more
accurate weather forecasts for
s the Big Fair. Here follows our
own experience. The first Sat-
urday of the Ex. there was an
early morning mist. The "probs"-
called for clearing by noon.
Well, as you know it rained,
and rained, and, as I told you
last week, Partner and I got
soaked. The following Thursday
Bob and his family planned a
trip to the Ex, Overnight fore-
cast was for rain all day. It
wasn't possible for them to
choose another day so they took
a chance and went. It didn't rain
at all! They had a wonderful
time. Friday Partner and I
thought we would have a second
day at the Fair. But the day
dawned foggy and wet. We gave
up all idea of taking the early
aggeration to say that it one
of your :ancestors fought at
Aeincourt, he had tai's identical
to yours.

morning special exhibition bus.
Later, as I had an invitation to
the Press Tea I took the noon
bus, By the time •I got to the
Ex. it was a grand day and I
was wishing that Partner had
come along with me. Weather
did not provide the only prob-
lems. Last Saturday our near-
est neighbours set out to drive
to the C.N.E. But when they got
to Sunnyside traffic officers
stopped them from going any
farther with the car. They put
it into a parking lot and Walked
the rest of the way — approxi-
mately two miles — mother,
father and a seven year old
girl. That's what I call getting
pleasure the hard way.
Come to think of it farm folk
on a rainy day, are better off
than most, people at the Ex. That
is if they are content to stay, in
the Coliseum where it is quite
possible to put in the whole day
— looking at the livestock,
watching the judging, admiring
the many fine horses and ex-
claiming at the wonderful ex-
hibits and demonstrations put on
by the 441 Clubs. Modern farm-
ing requires modern methods —
tractors and high-powered ma-
chinery, but how uninteresting
they appear compared with the
sturdy, well-groomed Clydes-
dale and Percheron horses. Just
as well we have the ExhlGition
and the Royal Winter Fair, isn't
it, otherwise some children on
farms might never know what
a good team looks like?
Speaking of children, they
will be back to school this week
and family life will settle down
to a well-established pattern.
Young enthusiasts will arrive at
school long before the doors are
open; dawdlers will rush in at,
the last minute, 'dust a few sec-
onds ahead of the bell. Little
s tots, hesitant but inwardly ex-
cited, experience their first day
at school—with mother fearful
as to their reaction, Little John
—or maybe Betty—has been her
baby until school days began.
Now her boy or girl have their
feet on the first rung of the lad-
der of independence. Life at
home is More orderly but for
quite awhile mother finds there
is a quietness and loneliness
that tugs at her heartstrings.
However, even without chil-
dren at home life isn't always
orderly, That I discovered one
morning. A ring at the doorbell.
I opened the door, there stood
the milkman a sheepish look on
his face. He had dropped a quart
bottle of milk On the front
porch. Such a mess! He gathered
up the broken glass with
broom and dustpans,apj then
Partner turned the hose ott to
the cement floor of the porch.
Soon after that I was getting
Fish ready to fry. I had my back
to the stove and was listening
to Gordon Sinclair at the same
time. The pan was heating and
I turned round lust in time to
see the grease burst irate flathea,
about a foot high. Ilrankly I
was curious because it had never
happened to me before, I knew
there v. is no danger of tire as
there was nothing near the
stove to catch fire, In a Matter
of seconds T remembered the
important thing was to smother
the flames, A close-fitting lid did
the trick. Rut then I` had the
smoke to vontend with First X
et: s:tiered breaking mw engage-
ment, but I love him terribly.
Can you suggest anything, oe
must we keep on waiting?
You two are not impulsive
teen-agars, you can wait tut.-
* til your marriage has a fair
* start. I am sure you both
' could take almost any hurdle
* in your stride * but it does
* seem foolhardy to walk open-
* eyed into a situation so
fraught with risks as this one.
* Your fiance's sister is mistress
* in her home, and even if you
* admired each other she might
* well feel your coming an , in-
rusion.
The housing situation has
postponed many a marriage;
but when there's a will,
there's a way. If your fiance
is convinced you will net mar-
ry until you two can be alone,
he will attack the problem
more vigorously and help you
find a place.
Women have more imagina-
tion than most men, and arc
more sensitive to personali-
ties and to their surround-
ings. You may find it hard to
persuade your man that you
mean what you say, but he
* must realite that only pa-
* tience, and a fresh survey of
* the local scene, can hasten
4' the wedding day.
* Keep in mind that he will
* undoubtedly want to continue
* helping his sister along, so re-
* mind him you'll be glad to
start on a modest scale and
* live in small quarters until
a conditions improve. Save
* every dollar you can for a fu-
ture nest-egg, for no matter
* how well off the man, that is
* always welcome.
* Don't think of breaking the
* engagement. Talk things over,
* inspire each other by your
* love and faith. Meeting the
a problems head-on together
* will give you both new hope
* and fortitude,

"Dear Anne Hirst: About a
year ago a friend introduced me
to a grand girl. Then he ob-
jected furiously because she
seemed to prefer me, and we
don't see each other much. But
yesterday he called me up and
told me shocking tales about
her,
"I must find out how true they
are. I love the girl now, but of
course I am jealous of the men
she knew before she met me,
What shall I do? I couldn't
bear to ask her.
UNHAPPY"
* Aren't you too smart to take
* seriously any ugly gossip
* started by a jealous person?
* It may exist only in his own
* mind, and was told you so you
would stop dating the girl.
* What does it matter, any-
how? If you love her as you
a say, you will ...not care about
* her past. Why censure her for
* something that happened (if
* it did) before she knew you?
* I suggest that you examine
a the quality of your feeling for
* her before you assume a bet-
* ter-than-thou stand.
*
To wait for your wedding day
is sometimes the hardest trial of
all. But with love in your heart
and faith in each other, it is
wiser than to rush into a ques-
tionable situation..:. If you are
