"My first thought was to leave. He begged me to Stay, saying that seeing me every day was the one thing that makes his life bearable, (He has never said a word against his wife, for which I admire him.) We both want to do the right thing. But my close contact with him, always sup- pressing m y emotions, have brought only frustration end bit- terness.

There are times when I think I cannot go one I have prayed for a solution, and I hope that your advice will bring the answer, FRUSTRATED" * Women down the ages have * cried out as you cry today: Why?

That's a fact which comes o of a recent surtrey by a f health organization among ca directors. When children away to camp they get ex shorts and T-shigjs but too ma Many send along the youngst current pair of shoes,even they're nearly outgron, plus pair of running shoes - a that's all, That way lies trouble say t foot specialists. WIictthen a chi is going away to camp' or ju running around on the farm on city streets, summer time the most active period of th year --with lots of runnin jumping and climbing. If eh dren's shoes are the wrong kin or too small, growing feet ca be affected. That's why foot specialis make this , recommendation t parents: 1. Make sure your child 1 wearing a well -fitted shoe du ing the summer - whether h stays at home or goes away t camp or cottage. The best sho for the rough and tumble summer play is an all-leathe oxford. It should have a.flexibl leather upper and sole, sinc leather supports a c ti v e f eet without binding "them, , 2.

If they are last year's shoes, the chances are they will be outgrown before summer is over. If the dealer finds that there's 'not much growing room left, better be on the safe side and order another pair one -Half size larger, 3. Explain to your boy or girl the importance of well -made .shoes - and of taking care of them. Running shoes or '"sneakers" do not provide adequate support for growing young feet. In addition, the can- vas uppers, which are filled with ' starch to keep them in shape,- and the heavy rubber soles. pre- vent feet from "breathing". Blisters, chafing, and fungus in- fections thrive bn hot moist feet. Leather will permit free passage of air through its microscopic pores. Also, and very important, the incidence of tetanus and other infections from wounds is at its height during the summer, especially when children run around in the country where the proximity of livestock creates a antis hazard. Leather soles, cording to testing laboratories, provide four times as much_ tection against penetration of S. sharp stones and other nted objects as rubber or 1 to wear on hot summer days.

It was -raining and a cold wind blowing the first time' I saw .. the , barely persistible flutter of tiny wings. i just couldn't believe my eyes for what would entice a' humming bird otit"i"n such' awful Weather? Time .and time again. it came back to the .window- Bad it been gos,giblg. -I „would ,have .let it in as I thought perhaps it was Ioo'lcing for shelter. But what would I have done with a' bum- ming bird in' the htnise? So I worked on another, idea. I -mixed up some . brown . sugar. and wa- ter in a little flat dish and put it on the outside of the kitchen window -sill. Whether this most fascinating of little ' birds has partaken of my homemade nec- tar S dont know,•but at least it still flutters around the window' several times a day, At the back of the house we have a chest- nut tree 'in hlbom so probably - that is what Attracted our little , bird. Some birds have black marks against their characters for such things as eating small fruits, grain and garden seeds. The lit- tle hummer is one bird that does only good. As we all know it loves to suck nectar from sweet - scented flowers but it also likes to feed on small flies, gnats, undersized bees and wasps and other insects that hover in slid around the flower beds that big- ger birds might wit bother with at all. You know, some people say - you can't hope to have birds around the house if you keep cats. I have said it before and I'. say !t' again - that just isn't so. AL least, not on a farm. You couldn't have better hunters than our' Mitchie-White and Black Joe. They spend hall their time 111 the fields watching for mice slido y ung rabbits, and in winter time they hunt mice and pigeons in the barn - rats, too, if there are any- but they never bother sue birds in the garden, not e3en the starlings and robins. The other day Mitehie was sitting on the front step: from the other side of the door I watched to see what he •would do as 1 knew there were fledglings in and around the shrubbery trying their vtings. Inside• of fen minutes 1 saw sev- eral little cenaritl;,. two wee chickadees, a perky little wren, one robin - and of course a scattering of sparrow's and star- ines. all hopping and scratch- ing around on the grass, but Mitehie never oven bothered to look • at them. • Presently he jumped of the step' stalked ac- ross the backyard and on to- wards the hayfield.

They- say there has to be, a •first time for everything and this was one of these occa- sions, Partner was' going to a meeting' at ' a IAA* village 'while I did a little visiting, The location of the hall where the meeting was to be held was be- tween two steep hills right in the centre of the village, Going down towards the valley my brakes ceased to function. I put the ear into second, shut off the ignition and went the rest of the way hoping for the best and knowing the steep climbon the other side would .stop the car anyway. Which it did, so we are still alive to tell' the tale.

The helpless feeling it gives you isn't a happy experience, To Size 42 Melodrama In oerllin Everyone knows that a wood "western" is net to be taken as a strict representation of life in either the old ar new West. But not everyone seeing a Hollywood melodrama laid in present -clay Berlin .realizes that he is not seeing an accurate pic- ture of that extraordinarily vivid and significant city, where the West challenges the East in daily, intimate contact, The point is worth making,be- cause.of its implications, No one expects melodrama to stick too closely to facts, but in .a cold war that could explode into world-wide devastation even melodrama owes a certain re- spect to truth, conscience and re- sponsibility, Some time ago a Hollywood filni was shot In Berlin for the "sake of authenticity." It has, since then been shown in the United States, but when Berlin audiences recently saw it they greeted it with sardonic laughter. It wa's not merely that the pic- ture was full of small inaccur- acies and distorted the relation$ between the East and West sec- tors of the city. It went so far as to indicate that the kidnaping of GIs froin the western sectors is a common occurrence. Now everyone knows that the Communists are ruthless and can cold-bloodedly use any weapon that suits their purpose. A few highly publicized kidnap - lugs of German and East Euro- pean anti-Communists from West Berlin have occurred, and per- haps others which have not re ceived publicity, And Americans, including GIs, who have got into trouble in the East sector or zone have been held by the authorities for varyia}g lengths of time. There is material for a score of melodramas in ' the actualities of what is inherently a melodramatic, situation. But the fact remains that the Communists are not kidnaping ' GIs from West Berlin, and to suggest, with a great air of authenticity, that they are, is to be guilty of the same sort of dis- honesty that the West resents in anti-American Soviet plays and films, . If a Hollywood producer can go to all the trouble of hav- ing a film shot in Berlin iii order to catch the' heartbeat of the cold war, he can surely take the trouble not to heat up that war for his own private purposes. -Froin the Christian Science Monitor. Have you noticed that many riglit-handed 'girls tend to be- come left-handed after getting engaged? How Glue Acts When glue is warmed, ii changes its form gradually freest the solid to the liquid state, It does not change with the speed of ice melting into water. Sub- stances that melt gradually aro called viscous substances, an- other way of saying that their molecules tend to stay together. Molasses is another viscous Sub- stance. You know the exprea- alon "He is es slow as molasses in January," This refers to the fact that in told weather mo- lasses runs out,rof a jug very slowly. Its molecules tend .to stay together, The force that holds molecules of a s4stance together is nailed cohesion, , Glue has another force, that of adhesion, by which its maleeuleswill stick to, or adhere to, molecules of other substances, such as wood, and cloth and paper. Now let us see what happens wiaen two pieces of wood are glued Together. We smear both pieces with half -melted glue and press them together. The glue is forced into the hollow air'. spaces of the wood, against the walls of the cell cavities, When the glue cools and hardens, it is firmly anchored in each piece of wood, The structure is held ,.together by adhesion of glue to wood and cohesion of glue to glue. Both forces are necessary for the pieces to hold together; but ad- hesion is the stronger force here, Therefore, a thin layer of glue will hold things together more firmly than a thick layer 84711.
