''Dear Anne Hirst;
OUr family is divided on the
question of our two daughters
contributing to the home ex-
penses, They both have good
positions and their father thinks
they should give us token board,
though we would only save it
and add to it for their future.
I do not agree, nor do they—they
say none of their friends do
such, a thing and they would
he ashamed to admit they were
asked to.
"I argue that we do not need
their help, and with prices so
high I am sure they can use
ell they make. We have a nice
home, garden and cars, and the
older girl plans to commute to
a nearby town to work Wlth
winter coming on, she wants to
take an apartment there with
another girl. Her father dis-
approves.
"Her sister is engaged and
will probably be married in a
few months, so I don't see any
point in her paying board, Then
why should the other one?
' "I do not mean to present a
picture of a wrangling house-
hold, but as a matter of record
I'd like your opinion.

ISSUE 38 — 1958
Many people lead double lives,
Sometimes their pursuits are in-
nocent, but not always. if their
guilty secret Is discovered by a
blackmailer — ,or any other sort
,of crook — they're in trouble.
In the U.S.A. a prominent law-
yer was leading a double life.
Respectably married, he was at
the same time "carrying on"
with his secretary, Once he took
her for a drive in the country.
They ,stooped in a lonely lane
and, suddenly, two gunmen ap-
peared.
The bandits were men who
specialized in robbing furtive
lovers. They kept watch on lone
ly places, knowing that 'the man
would always pay up and the
woman would rarely scream.
The victims never wanted any
publicity.
In this case, although the
lawyer had a gun in his pocket,
he meekly handed over his mon-
ey to save his reputation.
But the bandits went ,too far.
One of them took a fancy to
the pretty secretary and tried to
pull her out of the car. The
lawyer saw red, pulled out his
gun and shot the gunman dead
but received fatal wounds him-
self from, the bullets of the
• other bandit.
Some crooks lead double lives,

much too casually to suit rne,
"is Mount Nebo where Moses
showed the promised land to
the children of Israel."
We.ware deep in the fiat bed
of the Jerdan River valley, The
Dead Sea, 1,300 feet below sea
level, was only a step away,
The surrounding gray, bar-
ren hills and Mountains were
transformed by sunset glow into
subdued tints of orange and
purple. It was not too difficult

About two hours earlier we
had entered the tropically warm
valley, descending slowly from
the heights of Ammam, the capi-
tal of Jordan.
There were., occasional' or-
,chards of lemon, orange, and
banana trees, but most f the
land was dry and unworked
and tired.
We suddenly came Upon the
River Jordan and I fumbled
for my camera. My driver guide
arrested my hopes before I could
draw a bead on the winding
30-foot stream and its grassy
banks.
On both sides of the bridge
crossing the Jordan were Jordan
Legionnaires in their red and,
white checkered headress. It was
an off-limits military outpost.
For the third time since depart-
ing from Amman, I had to pro-
duce my passport.
Because, said the drvier, "these
fellows know me," we skipped
ahead of five cars, of passengers
at the check point and shortly
slowed down behind a truck
sprinkling the streets of new
Jericho.
Apparently accustomed to peo-
ple in a hurry, he tried to dodge
up a side street to save time and
it was not easy to persuade ;him
that crawling behind a w,ater
sprinkler and looking at the lush
vegetation of the Jerich oasis
was sheer delight on a stiilling
day.
All the way from Amman I
had been 'talking about old
Jericho • and every time the
' driver had diverted the conver-
sation to Qsar Hisham (which
he said he would gladly show
me for anther dollar).
So off we went and were re-
warded by the ruins of a palace
1,200 years old. The mosaics
were all he said and more.
• Now, he proclaimed, as he
prevented me for the third time
from taking a Olcture of Mount
Temptation rising abruptly from
the valley floor several miles
away, we will• go to Old Jericho
where you will get the best,,pic-
ture, writes Courtney Sheldon in
The Christian Science Monitor.
En route were the reminders
of today's unsolved human rela-
tions the *camps of 80,000
Palestinian refugees. •The broad
valley, swallowed ,them up as if
they were' mere desert villages.
Hoping for the day they can
return to their fOrmer homes
in Israel, they live in huts and
are given the necessities of life
by the United Nations.
CloUds of dust swept through
the middle of the camps. It was
easy to see why most of the
when all the exhibits were nice
and fresh. But it was raining and
I wondered — should I or
shouldn't I go? In the end I don-
ned slashers, raincoat and cap,
and sallied forth with an umbrel-
la, hoping the weather would
clear before too long. It did, so
my optimism was justified.
I soon noticed the grounds at
the C.N.E. had had a 'face lift-
ing. All along the front, where
there used to be nothing but
cars, there are now lovely gar- .
dens, and no less than three
water fountains, spilling over
into huge greenlined basins. Even
the light standards are eye-
catching. Atop each pole flies a
flag; a few feet down is the
light itself and some distance
beneath it flower baskets en-
circle the pole from_ which are
growing flowering plants and
hanging vines. Certainly the new
arrangement along the front pre-
sents a, far more pleasing ap-
pearance than before and elimin-
ates a lot of the unwelcome lif-
ter that used to be the first
thing one saw. The new mam-
moth water !fountain is also quite
lovely. In fact to all outward
appearances the C.N.E. is much
improved.
As for the exhibits I am not
in a position to say too much as
I was only in a few of the
buildings. I noticed there was
more originality than usual at
the Flower Show. The Govern-
ment Building had well arranged
informative displays and the
quality and variety of work
shown in the Queen Elizabeth
Building was marvellous. I was
particularly impressed by a fine-
ly worked, hand-hooked rug.
Beautiful design and the size was
about 9 x 12. This prize-winning
entry came from Ottawa.

Take last Tuesday for 'in-
stance. That was thee-day the
Salada-Sherriff-Horsey company
gave *their annual tea to W.I.
representatives who were invit-
ed to see the handicraft exhibit
and to hear the prize-winning
announcements. • This year the
tea was held at the Royal York
Hotel.
The contest took the form of
a Quilt Block competition for
which there were, 61, entries. The
block patterns were., arranged in
loose-leaf albums hand-
somely decorated hard covers.
Some of the patterns were old
designs carefully treasured frciin
one generation to another. Others
were comparatively new and one
had to be original. All the work
was of excellent quality includ-
ing the beautilail designs in quilt-
ing. In fact' the workmanship
was so good I am sure the judges
must have had a hard time
reaching a decision. However,
probably their 'work was made
a little easier through the gen-
erosity of the sponsors who of-
fered not only three prizes but
$10 each to the' ten entries re-
ceiving honourable mention.
The 1st prize award was given
to the West End W.I. of Guelph;
the 2nd to West Fort William;
and the 3rd to Elder Mills, -
Woodbridge. The ten awards
went to the following districts:
Sheddon; Gorrie, Appin, King
City, Sault Ste. Marie, Dublin,
Watford, Desboro, Kingston and
Burgessville.
It was a very happy, friendly
afternoon for everyone. Not only
was it a grand opportunity to
see at first hand a splendid dis-
play of rural talent but it also
gave W.I. members from far and
wide one more occasion to meet
their Provincial officers and
ether W.I. personnel and to dis-
cuss their common problems one
with another. I, for one,
thoroughly enjoyed it. This Of
course, is only a brief account.
You will naturally read more
about it in your next issue of
Home and Country and from
your area representative.
It• scorned to me the idea of a
quilt-block contest was a happy
thought; helping to keep alive
one of Canada's native arts. It •
would be too bad if it should
ever die out, It is an art 'that
includes skill, artistic ability and
requisites of good workmanship;
Certainly the W.I, as a whole
owes a• debt of gratitude to the
Salado-Sherriff-Horsey Company
for their generous sponsorship
Of this worthwhile project. Re-
