Net because of her Movie career, which is going along well, enough, but because of her other oceupation as president of a company riding the crest of a prosperous wave. Estherl s company is Interna- tional Swimming Pool Corp. which, like all others in the back- yard ,swimming-pool business, is splashing its way to new records, This year, according to the Na- tional Swimming Pool. Institute, 53,000 new pools worth $600 mil- lion will, be installed—a gurg- ling $100 million more than in 1957, A homeowner can have a pool carved out of his back yard for as little as $1,500 (if he lives in California or Florida, where cli- mate makes installation cheaper) or can spend as much as $100,000 for an ornate Roman bath. Most of the purchasers, ac- cording to Don Pruess, Interna- tional's chairman, are middle- income families. Some of these become pool owners when they buy property in new housing developments where pools now are included, as are garages, among the necessities of life. Others have found that a pool adds to the value of their pres- ent house beyond the dollar cost of the pool itself, Stillee others have been tempted by the in- creasing availability of install- ment-plan credit. Three or four years ago, pool financing was a rarity; today, Pruess estimates, 70 per cent of all installations are paid for on time.

One afternoon recently, a tall, obviously tired-but-happy young man arrived at the RCA view studios on East 24th Street in New York, to hear the tapes of a piano concert he had played at Carnegie Hall the night be- fore, As the majestically crash- ing chords of the TchailOYSItY Piano Concerto- in B-flat minor beat upon his ears, he tensed and grimaced, "Listen here — now," he said earnestly, "I made sucha mistake here." Clutching his bushy, blond head, lie rocked back and forth, in, anguish. The miracle was that Van Cliburn was able to think at all, let alone accurately recall bloop- ers he made the night before. He had come to the studios straight from the Waldorf-Astoria, where Mayor Robert F. Wagner had given him a luncheon, and before that he ,had ridden up Lower Broadway in the first ticker-tape parade ever accord- ed a musician. The next night he would play in Philadelphia, and later in the week he would meet the President at the White House, play before diplomats and goy- eminent officials in Washington, and dine at the Russian Embas- sy. On Sunday, by making his first post-Moscow television ap- pearance on Steve Allen's pro- gram, he would repay an old debt, for Allen's music director, Skitch Henderson, had spotted Cliburn's talent back in 1955 and twice put him on Steve's "To- night" show. During the week to come, he would play again in New York to another sold-out house at Carnegie Hall, and he would make his first phonograph records, for RCA Victor. Faced with both the recession and the usual seasonal classical slump, dealers pinned high hopes on the first .release, the Tchaikovsky concerto. For Cliburn, the„ summer promised little letup. He will perform in the U.S. and abroad, and everywhere he goes the pat- tern will be the same. As a symbol of U.S. culture and good will, he will have to keep the charm: turned on. Fortunately for him, this is only doing what comes naturally. As a pianist, he will be expected to play like a Rachmaninoff and Horowitz rolled into one. This will be tougher,ear old. ror ne is, after all, only 23y Seldom again, however, will Cliburn have to endure a strain quite like the one he 'went through' at his Carnegie Hall ape pearance, when he undertook to re-create the performance'which. had won him the prize in Mos- cow and made him 'the talk of the Russian people. Fn place of the Moscow' "Philharmonic, .he had behind him the 'Symphony of the Air, but the man who con- ducted was the same — Kiril P. Kondrashin, the colorful ,Soviet maestro whom Van 'had said re- peatedly had been "like a daddy' to me." Although Kondrashin, a youthful looking 44,., deemed .more like an elder brother, there, was no denying his devoted and sensitive accornpanirdent.' Cliburn -was nervous through- out' the Tchaikovsky concerto which opened the, program — more so, Kondrashin said later, than he had seemed in Mos- cow. tut in the Rachmaninoffe ' Concerto Neen•3 which followed, the maestro noted, "he was in- spired as before."

We have j,:t found out he has a bad reputation, and comes from a family that isn't thought much of, so Mom wants me to stop seeing him. "She wants me to welcome an- other boy, a nice one whose peo- ple are respected; he's in the Navy and returns in January. Then Mom wants me to date him, and drop the one I care for! What can I do to make her see that is impossible? UNHAPPY" I net only agree with your * mother, I go further. Break * up with this boy you like at * once, making any excuse you * please. You are too young to * realize how vital to your so- * cial life is your reputation; * if you keep on. dating him you * cannot but share his bad name, * and that might take a long, * long time to live down. e If you let your feeling over- * come your judgment, how do * you know the Navy lad will 0 want to date you when he * comes home next month? A '" well-bred young man with the * right instincts chooses nice * girls to take out, and if this * one hears of your aseocietion * with your present friend he * and his people might pass you " entirely.

I suppose if we didn't see the stumps we wouldn't miss the trees. It's knoWing that hurts. We were somewhat disappoint- ed with our trip—wind so strong there was no pleasure in being out. Partner was away with our farmer-friend to the back of the .farm digging post-holes but .we women-folk stayed pretty close to the warmth and comfort of the old kitchen, stove. Later In the week I looked in at two separate rummage sales. I love a rummage sale—it is just like a surprise packet—you never know what you'll find. I always .head straight for the odd- ments table. And what did I get? I'll tell you. A small Wedge- wood jug, a little handpainted fancy dish, a Spode vase and an out-of-print' book of prose. Fifty cents was the total cost! The Wedgewood piece has a slight chip which can be patched if I ever get around to it, The Spode vase is pure white and looks grand with a huge bouquet of purple lilac. Now I ask you -what more could one get for such" a small butlay.

That is because the house is situated right in the curve of a crescent. It does make it more attractive. Just by walking from one room to another we have a change of scenery. From my workroom window this eis what I see: A group of small trees— asee—nothing very speeial as trees go but too nice to cut down. Beyond the trees, lawn, and then the vegetable garden with a few rows of bulbs and. perennials heeled in waiting for Joy to remove them. Back of the garden small shrubs of lilab in between more ash trees and a few poplars. And hopping around over everything are the birds— robins, kill-deer, warblers and the inevitable starlings and spar- rows, Beyond our property the view is not so pleasing, A large lot, that was once a lovely garden, in the middle of which there used eta be a very attractive home. A few weeks ago a wreck- ing crew moved in and reduced the nine-year-old house to rub- ble. The site is 'reserved for a gas station. Beyond the vacant lot runs the •Dundas Highway— close ,enough to be convenient; far enough away that the traf- fic does not bother us. At the far side of the highway an ap- ple orchard. But at the moment what interests me most is our Own garden—peas, beans, car- rots, beets coming along in great form. Also sunflowers. By the time the sunflowers are in bloom we won't see much of the vacant lot—but we hope to see a lot more birds, So that is the outlook from one window — trees, plant and, bird life with fast moving traf- ec in the distance, An inter- mingling of the old and the new —nature at its best and yc' close to one of the main arteries of Ontario, eccommodating mo- torists, buses, and trucks of all kinds.
