Why did I feel that way? Just because the radio, and every paper and magazine 1 picked up spoke of 1950 as the beginning of the second hall -century, whereas I had said itt my column two weeks ago that 1950 is not only the beginning of a new year, it is also "the closing year" of a half cen- tury. And you know I gave that little matter quite a lot of thought before I wrote it. I'also sought ad- vice from my menfolk and we were all agreed that the second halfof the 20th century does not begin until January 1st, 1951. Then came the papers and 1 thought to my- self -"Well, either they are all all this second half century talk in crazy, or 1 am". Even MacLean's Magazine jumped the gun in one of its editorials. at which I was very surprised because I thought MacLean's prided itself on being almost infallible. However, in a few days, J. V. iJcAree, in his col- umn, backed me up -not that he knew it, of course -later a letter in the Globe and Mail. and another in the Family Herald, all pointed out the error of calling 1949 the end of the first half century. So now I feel very much better, de- spite the fact that Don Fairburn said that while those who think as I do may be technically correct yet the popular opinion is that Father Time has closed his books on the first half of the 20th century. Oh well, everyone has a right to his owti opinion -but on one point I am sure we all agree -that 1950 is bound to he an eventful year. When I started writing this we were having a little bit'of sub -zero weather, but by the look of things it will be like spring again before this gets into print. Personally, I would rather have it a little on the cold side -except that we are grate- ful for what the rain does to the / 1 • 04$r -74444 ON.E yard of 35 -inch for the small sizel Little more for the larger.

The coal bins have also ben- efitted by the mild weather, which is just as well because the coal nowadays is like the old grey mare -"it ain't like it used to be". We have one bin of Alberta coal, and one of American anthracite, and both kinds burn away far quicker than they should. And, oh dear, the dust in the house is worse than I ever knew it. 1 wonder if other housewives find it that way. Daughter was almost in despair when she was home. Had she been here very muchlonger the vacuum cleaner would have got worn out. The poet was right who said "Dust will keep but violets won't". Dust will keep all right -for the simple reason that you can't get rid of it. But I imagine Daughter won't be worrying much about our dust front now on -she will have enough of her own to look after. he has al- ready rented all the rooms in her nine -room house -and two of the roomers are young couples with small children, so Daughter has probably been the means of solv- ing one of their major 'problems - for which I ant very thankful. u . 1\ Tar- ried couples with small children must often be just about desperate. The sun is shining and icicles are dripping from our windows right now, but the other day when it was cold the windows without storm sash werefrosted over. Just to look at them made me think of the west -especially since T have read several letters in the papers recently- about the loneli- ness of women on the prairie. Reading them I thought of our own life in Saskatchewan and I remembered that the only thing that really got me down was some- times living for weeks at a time without being able to see through the windows at all. We had no storm windows and there was frost on the outside and frost on the in- side. Sometimes I would clean off a small patch with salt but it would soon freeze over again. We lit- erally saw nothing beyond the four walls of our own home. during stormy weather -except, of course, for the times when we had to go out, Partner had a few chores at the barn, and water to draw front the well. And he generally went to town with team and sleigh once a week for mail and supplies, no matter how bad the weather. 1 remember one time he could not see to drive through the blinding blizzard so he fastened the lines to the sleigh and left the horses to find their way home by instinct - and that is more than anyone could do with a earl Our faithful team carne home all right and I heard them stop at the back door. But when I looked out I found Partner huddled on the floor of the sleigh, his back to the storm, and in a semi-conscious condition. It was well he had no further to go. But it was not always stormy weather. One remembers things like driving home from a party on a still, frosty night, with the Northern Lights hanging a fringe of coloured strea- mers across a cloudless sky. At such times one hardly dared to breathe, it was so beautiful -like a winter fairyland. Lonesome on the prairie? May- be ... but it had its compensations, From parish magazine: You are helping to improve our churchyard. Will ydu add to this help by bring- ing your own clippers and cutting the grass round your own grave? UNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By The Rev. R, Barclay Warren Unto All Men Acta 10:17-20; 24, 34-43. Golden Text:- Go . ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the naine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them, to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I ant with you always, e'en unto the end of the world. -Matt. 28:19-20. Go,: chose Abraham to be the father of the special nation through whom He would send the Messiah. To this people the commandments of God were given, It is true that individuals and stations outside the pale of Israel, received special blessings from God. Elijah caste to the help of the widow of Zarephath; Naatnan, the Syrian, was healed; Jona'' was sent to Nineveh of the Assyrians. But it was Jesus, a Jew, who broke down the middle wall of partition between the chosen race and other nations. He was the Sav- iour of the world, born of Mary, conceived of the I-loly Ghost. ".Vi things were made by Him," His works were for all sten. He healed the son of the Roman centurion and the daughter of the Syrophenician woman. His commission to his dts- ciples said, "Teach all nations." Christianity is evangelistic. Its fol- lowers are working among Moham- medans, Buddists, Confucionists, Parsees; indeed, all non-Christians. The Christian does not believe that any religion will do as long as you are sinners in it. It teaches that "There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Peter soon acquired the world- wide vision of his ascended Lord. When he did, he preached the good news to Cornelius and his house- hold. Even as he spolce, to these devout Romans the Holy Ghost was giver. and they were purified in heart as had been the one hundred and twenty Jews on the day of Pentecost. Peter was convinced that God was no respector of persons. Jesus Christ tested death for every man. The whole world must bear the. glad message.

Guarding Agains'- Animal Infection Increased vigilance has been ne- cessary during recent years to pre- veit the introduction into Canada of livestock diseases from abroad, Many of the ' European countries have been experiencing serious out- breaks and- while owing to the pre- valence of these dangerous diseases in Europe livestock importations have not been permitted for many years. there is always a -possibility of infection being introduced. through normal trade channels, To guard against this risk, reg- ulations under the Health of An; imals Division, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture apply to the importation of hides, skins, glue stock, horns, hoofs, bones, wool, hair, bristles, neat, meat products, feathered game; fertilizers, bone - meal and foodstlffs containing an, inial matter; straw, hay and simi- lar forage for feeding livestodk, cer- eals, grain and other animal feed; and also products of the soil such as hay and straw used for packing. He Builds Planes He Never Sees Ninety -mile -an -hour model planes perfect to the thousandth of an inch, are being built by a 46 -year- old blind man, Mr. Robert Jones, of Brighton. This is how he does it. His wife and son spread the' plans of 'a plane on the table and put pins in the outlines. Then Mr. Jones's wonder- ful sense of touch comes into op- eration. By letting his fingers go round the pins, he gets "the feel" of the model -to -be. Then' he gets busy. Deftly hs builds the planes, using ordinary materials, including fine - gauge wire. When they are fin- ished his son flies them. Recently his son entered one of the models in a controlled flight competition. It did 81.6 miles an hour and young Mr. Jones felt sure he had won a cup. But Inc hadn't. The trophy went to a friend who won, at 90 'miles an hour, with an- other aircraft which had been built front Mr. Robert Jones's plans. seMST �yy7 ow% MEDDLING MOTHER-IN-LAW A mother-in-law who tries to separate her son and his wife must be stopped itt her efforts. But how? a She cannot be disciplined like a c It i 1 d, though she deserves to be. She cannot be shut out com- pletely from the family life, though she is n of welcome. Yet something must be done to prevent her ac- .,contplishirtg her vicious purpose. One plagued wife relates her ex- perience: Her mother-in-law tells actual lies about her son. Site ,informs her daughter-in-law that he is being un. true to her, which the wife, thank goodness, know., is not so. She exaggerates his faults, even advises the girt to leave him! Of course she is jealous, eager to have her son to herself. Added to the faults site interferes with their children's training, to the point where they actually fear her. THIS MUST STOP * Of course this wife sees through" * these machinations. But it is hard * not to become upset and nervous * under their influence. * She should talk the matter over * t.' h her husband, and enlist his * support. (This Ie does not men- tion what his attitude is.) 'He * must stand behind her, give her * his entire loyalty. * For the wife will tell her * other -in-law, calmly but firmly, * that froth now on she will not * listen to attacks upon her Itus- * band.

If the older woman * offends again, the wife will rise * from her chair and refuse to * listen. A HOME OF HER OWN ,='Dear Anne Hirst: I've been mar- ried almost a year. 1 want a home of my own. "We've been living with my hus- band's parents, and we have a big and noisy dog. My husband makes the dog an excuse for not moving., "Of course nobody wants to rent us an apartment with this dog, but my h'usband's parents are willing 'to. keep the dog for us until we can get a house. (I would be willing to move into one room!) Yet my hus- band refuses to move! "Is a man's dog supposed to mean more to him than his wife? "I do `love him, but I've even thought of leaving him because of this. WONDERING' * Of course you will not leave * your husband for such a reason, * That would be childish, * It is hard to believe that your * husband refuses to move on ac- * count of -the dog. It is more likely * that he feels conffortabl'e where * he is. He has less responsibility * in his mother's home than even * a small apartment wouldentail. * I suspect this is the real reason * for his wanting to stay, * Few teen have any idea of what * a home of her own 'means to a. * wife.' Itt it, 'she reigns supreme, * She manages it alone, and it be. * comes the foundation of her Earn- *' ily life, No matter' how kind and * thoughtful her in-laws are, she * cannot relax, completely in an- * other woman's house, * Husbands who lack hnagivatiou '0 do not realize this, Yet if a man * loves his wife as I expect your * husband loves you, he will provide * her with a place of her own. Un- til he moves in there with you, he * will not understand what joy he, * too, will feel riving there alone * with you, * I hope your husband will find a good place for you soon.

Katharine Cornell Got The Par I think it was the advent of Maude Adam's Peter Pan in my fa- ther's theater that first made me know that 1 wanted to devote my life to the stage, T had looked for- ward to Maude Adams with such eagerness that, when the time came I hid my face in the curtains of the box because I couldn't bear to look. Thee, afterward, utter en- chauuuent; particularly the flying part. After that the theatre -everything about it: backstage: front of the house; performance time -that mar- velous hush just before the curtain goes up; the clutter and clatter of rehearsals; the glamour of the theatr'e's great stars -Bernhardt, Sothern and Marlowe', Tree, Sir Henry Irving, Mrs, Fiske became an intimate attd realistic part of my life, Naturally I saw more plays than the average child would see. Jessie Bonstelle, who even then carate to Buffalo for a season of stock each year, was always lovely to rate. She would let me sit all day, day in and day out, and watch her rehearse her plays. I never got tired of it. "Hurry and grow up and play Jo for tune," she said one day, I was thrilled, of course -but " never dreamed it would come true .. . Miss Bonstelle played leads, of course, and did her own directing. She had that rare gift of getting a smooth production together in a week -week in and week out. She was not a great actress but an ex- traordinarily good one for that par- ticular job. She could manage any kind of stage... . In September -that was the Fall of '19- Miss Bonstelle had decided to do Little Woman in London with an English cast. Marian de Forest' wrote the play (itt 1912, you re- member), nfifteen managers turned it a after 8d f down, Brady bought it for his daughter, Alice, wino played Meg -beautifully, they say: I never saw tier performance. "Who for Joe?" asked Miss de Forest. "Kath- erine Cornell!" answered Bonstelle. -From "I wanted to Be an Act- , Katherine cess, by Coeras!!. Poor Prophet Back in the hills, just out of sight of Manhattan's night -glow, an elderly character with a 'prophetic 'beard is•sulking in a little !louse in a valley. Beside the house, handy to a snow -bound householder, is a large pile of fireplace wood, neatly stacked. The house itself is stoutly banked with last fall's leaves. In the larder is a store of canned food and .cured meat. But all last week the elderly character himself sat on his front stoop in his shirtsleeves and glared at the sky. Last fall, he •forecast a heavy winter, an old- fashioned winter full of ice and snow and bone -chilling cold. The week before Christmas he said the turn was at hand, On Christmas Day, he said the new year would conte in with a howling wind and two feet of snow. It is obvious what happened. The lilac bushes in his front yard looked, a few days ago, as though they might burst into leaf at any moment. There wasn't enough ice on the near -by pond to cool one long drink. The elderly ptophet hadn't been able, try as he might, to burn one full cord of wood; in fact, -as he sat there and glowered the other day, the doors of his house were wide open to the balmy breeze, And he knew that if Inc went poking through the woods, he might find hepatica in bud. Maybe even shadbush on the verge of color, Winter isn't over yet, by any means. But it is January, and Groundhog Day is go4ng to be here before you know it. Then February will fray away into March. And tite January that should have started off snowbound - started off with a burst of 60 -degree weather, Those ' who know the elderly character best say now that Inc is about to lock up his house and take a trip, He wants Io getaway from this awful, winter, they say. 'He talks of going to: Northern Canada, -N.Y, Times, Jan .8. Chairman at church gathering: "We welcome tonight the Rev. Mr, Jones. This•,is the first chance 'he has had to speak since, he married They Had Sausage 2000 Years Ago Sausages have been a popular dish since the fifth century, B.C. The Greeks had a word for thele! The Romans, too, are known to have indulged in fried sausages made from fresh pork, chopped pine nuts, cumin seed, bay leaves and black pepper, They are also thought to have introduced tate haggis to England, where it was very popular at the time of the Commonwealth. Since then, the delicacy seems to have retreated over the border into Scotland, and many of us would not recogluze a haggis if we saw one. No doubt many of us have chuckled over the story of the housewife who, receiving one as a gift from her husband in Scotland, planted it in her rockery and proud- ly displayed its flourishing condition on lus return. In the Middle Ages, the "Saus- age -Makers' Guild" produced a pop- ular delicacy consisting of ground pork flavored With eggs, powdered pepper, and spice, encased in the necic of a capon. When sausage are cooking, there is often shrinkage due to Loss of fat and water; this may be reduced by dipping in boiling water before frying.
