"Dear Anse Hirst: I really think
I need your advice. I'm 29, and
have been going with a girt for some
time. Almost at
once, she hinted
at marriage. I
was already in
love, so one
night I propos-
ed, and she ac-
cepted. But how
things have
changed!
"I did every-
thing for her I could. I bought
her everything I could think of,
And then suddenly :he refused to
go out with me!
":Ire has been going with another
plan, but she tells me he means
nothing to her. I can get other
girls, but I'd feel guilty if she
would see the.
"We both come from respected
famil'es and go to the same
church. Her mother always has
told me to conte often,
"I have a lot of confidence in
you, Please help me now,

Search Desert For
Cursed Jewels
Twelve South African explorers
left recently for the 120,000 -square -
mile Kalahari Desert in Bechuana-
land, in a bid to discover a "for-
bidden city" where a cache of
jewels is believed to be hidden.
Carrying water in a powerful
truck with a special winch for deep
sand encounters, the party will
have no contact with the outside
world until some time late in the
year. In a desert where rain has
sometimes not fallen for five years
they will brave hardships and perils
and hope to find the stone ruins
of a lost civilization.
They believe they know roughly
where the fabulous jewels lie, hid-
den by an unknown man who ut-
tered a curse on whoever came to
disturb them.
Each night they will camp amid
the roar of lions and the howling
of jackals. Elephants, giraffes, and
buffalo are other game which still
roam parts of the Kalahari. The
explorers may also encounter can-
nibals, as did Miss Jim Crossley -
Batt, who it prewar years was one
of the first white women to visit the
Kalahari.
Travelling hundreds of miles with
natives in a Government lorry drawn
by a bullock team, she became
friendly with some cannibals. "I
even dined with them and they
showed no desire to eat me," she
said. "Then a plague visited them.
They appeared to think I was res-
ponsible, so I took a hurried de-
parture."
A Eft. gorilla appeared one day
and attracked her party, injuring
,one of the native boys. Miss Cross-
ley -Batt formed the theory. as a
result of this encounter, that gorillas
will not harm women. "Had I been
alone, this one would have been
quite friendly," she said afterwards.
"You came from a teetotal vil-
lage, didn't you?"
"Teetotal? Wily, they won't even
let the carpenters use spirit levels."

Bees That Are Cultivated
Just For Stinging People
In a quiet street in North Lon-
don there is a house which by day
looks little different from any of its
neighbours. But at night one of the
curtained windows is always dark.
\Vhat goes on inside that roots
-where the blinds are never drawn
and the windows never opened? A
hundred inspired guesses would
bring you nowhere hear the truth.
It is a beehive. Lt that roost live
some of the 20 million bees owned
,by one of the biggest bee -keepers in
the country.
They arc not ordinary_ bees, They
don't ntalte honey. Their greatest
value is in their least attractive
quality - their sting. •
Every day, sometimes twice a day
Mrs, Joan Owen, who has cultiva-
ted this mammoth hive, enters the
darkened room and retches about
one hundred of the bee: that swarm
on the cork - lined walls or buzz
through the specially cooled air. She
puts them into small );'lass jars,
Their Last Act
They leave the roost with only a
few more hours to live, But before
they die they wilt hare helped to
relieve pain by stinging sufferers
from rheumatism, arthritic, fibrosi-
tis, and neuritis.
These glass jars are all that this
small, grey-haired woman in her
early forties, a doctor in her native
Hungary, 1takes on her strange
"rounds."
(Urs. Owen, one of a large fancily
of doctors. learnt about the bees at
a clinic run by Iter grandfather.
Shortly before the war she started
to breed them in Great Britain, Site
is now es ahlishcd as what is per-
haps the first and only Bee Venom
Therapist in England,
There may be some controversy
in the orthodox medical world about
the value of Bee. Venom Therapj•,
and not all the results of this treat-
ment may be as successful as they
have been for 11,', James Char-
utan, of Dartford. \Vitt Mrs.. Owen
and twelve jars of bees a_ reporter
went to visit this star patient, Here
in Ids story as be told it. •
Now He Walks
Since 1942, when at the age of 43
he first developed osteo - arthritis,
lit. Charman has consuled more
than ten doctors, attended six hos-
pitals, and had eleven different kinds
of treatment. At first only his left
knee was affected, but before he
began 1110 bee treatment last
November he was practically bed-
ridden and in great pain.
When I saw him he was walking
rc.uui It's garden with the aid of
a stick. On being asked about the
lee stings, and he showed the diary
he has kept thrott. hoot his ,reat-
ntent, He had his first sings on
November 21st, 1949,
"Five stint across the should-
ers," reads the diary. "Not very
painful," And then, a week later,
when h0 had had a few stings each
(la)': "Woke feeling rotten. Sick
all day, sweating and shivering, Se-
ven stings on right foot anti three
on right shoulder,"
Mr. Charman felt "rotten" for
marls' a week. Then, after an in-
creasing number of stings each day,
he noted in his diary, on December
7th a slight movement 01 his left
foot. He had not been able to stove
it for nearly a year,
Altogether he has had n•'er '.(Yin
stings. He stated that in the early
sessions they did not hurt much, but
that as soon as he started to feel
better each treatment became Mote
painful.
The reporter felt how a sting
can Isn't even a non -rheumatic
when he rashly volunteered to be
stung myself, Mrs, Owen tools one
of the jars from inside her blouse;
where they are kept ,text to her
skin to give the bees the warmth
from her body. She opened the jar
and quickly lifted out a bee with her
forceps, Holding it on -his wrist,
she waited until his yelp of pain
told that the bee had done its work,
Each treatment takes a consider-
able time. For this reason, and to
cover the cost of the upkeep of the
bees, the fees are not light, Enor-
mous overhead expenses are invol-
ved in the running of the beehive.
Bred originally from wild African
bees, these special bees can only live
and breed at certain constant tem-
peratures. The room in the. North
London house Is the most recent of
twelve rooms to be converted, at a
cost of thousands of pounds, into
living quarters for the bees. The
other eleven are in Mrs. Owen's
house in Surrey, where she lives
with her husband, a retired naval
officer, and their trine -year-old son.
Fitted with an air - conditioning
plant and lined with layers of cork,
the "living" roosts are kept at a
temperature only a few degrees
above freezing - point, and the
breeding - roosts at 55 degrees Far-
enheit,
Secret Handed Down
This is the heat of a normal
simmer day and it enables the bees
to breed all the year round -unlike
the honey bee, which only breeds in
the early spring.
Suspended from the ceilings of
the rooms are zinc cages, each about
the size of a small refrigerator, in
which the bees live,
They feed on a mixture of honey,
and poison extracted from herbs
from Switzerland. The nacre and
necessary quantity of these herbs
is a "trade" secret which Mrs. Ow-
en did 1100 learn from he: grand-
father until after his death, when
he left her this knowledge in his
will. She herself will reveal it only
to her son in the same way.
But slie makes no secret of the
way in which the food is prepared.
She takes a quantity of the herbs
-- which, in the form of hay, are
kept for six months to mature at a
temperature of 17 degrees below
zero - mixes then( with a pint of
water and two pounds of honey
and boils them.
"I Do Not Flinch"
When the mixture has cooled she
pours it into a feeding -tube, which
has to be specially made to a length
of eight feet to enable her to reach
up to the bees' cages.
While she is in the bees' roost
Mrs. Owen sometimes has as many
as 1,000 of them crawling over her
at a"time, But she is never stung
unless they get into her hair. "They
-do not sting me because I do not
frighten .a bee - and when it is
frightened it will sliug."
\Viten asked what happened to
any bees left in the jars at the end
' of the' flay.
• "I take them to bed with rale,"
she said. "If I put their back into
the hive they would fight with the
others,"
Mrs. Owen knows that many of
Iter patients are warned by their
friends that they are wasting their
money, This does not worry her,
They're "Rogues"
"Curing rheumatism by bee stings
is looked upon as an old wives'
tale," she says, 'And .so it is - if
you use honey bees. Mott people
don't, or won't, understand that my
bees are not honey bees. Honey

cY Gw¢ndot.tr e P Clark¢
Dict you manage a trip to the
Canadian National Exhibition? I
hope you did -and that you en-
joyed it. Each of us took in the
Big Fair but alt On different days.
At one time it used to be a family
affair but now we find it suits us
better to play a lobe hand as what
intcoests one doesn't interest the
other-. Incidentally, when e c team
alp we waste so much time trying
to figure out what we think the
other person would like to do that
we get more itred than we should
do. The first one to visit the Fair
was Partner. He went by bus each
way and arrived home after mid-
night. I expected him to be half
dead ... but no, he said he had
been sitting down a good part of
the time, listening to the band and
watching events along the water-
front and was quite well satisfied
with what he had seen and done.
Not only that but he didn't have to
worry about the farm since the
rest of us were Morale looking after
it, Which was lucky because one
time a truck came in and the driver
left the yard gate wide open when
he went out. If I hadn't noticed it
there would have been nothing to
stop our cows front wandering
down to the highway. One wonders
what some folic think gates are for.
The next day TI got a ride to
Toronto with some friends and
went to the Press Luncheon, That
is always worthwhile because one
meets so many interesting people
-and of course, any affair with
Mrs. Kate Aitken at the head of
it is bound to be a success. Two
very special guests ori Press Day
were Jimmy Casson, 12, and Robin
Barron, 11, co-editors and publi-
shers of the Fouthilt Bugle, Mrs.
Aitken interviewed them at the
luncheon table and their replies to
her questions brought forth gales
of laughter from the assembled
guests, Asked if coming to the
Press luncheon and meeting so
many ladies wasn't well worth the
trip one of the boys replied -"Oh
I dunno , , , maybe!" That just
about brought down the house.
Their paper has a weekly circula-
tion of 250 and is printed on a ditto
machine.. The boys take it turn
about to cover the news, sports and
advertising but they "don't have no
editorials!" One wonders what is
ahead for these two enterprising
youngsters. 'To all appearances they
are just two nice, average school-
boys -but -you never can tell.
Twenty years froth now they Wray
be the men of the hour.

Previous to the lunch my friend
and I set out to find Queen Mary's
carpet. I hope none of you ladies
missed it. It was really marvellous.
The blending of the colours was
truly a work of art. At first, in look-
ing at it, I was conscious of a little
disappointment because the back-
ground of the carpet was by no
means uniform in colour -one
block being light fawn and the
next several shades darker, Thea
I' realized I was looking at a piece
of work that was typical of the
entire British people during those
dark days of the war- a people
staking the best of what they had
and still doing a mighty good job.
a: * *
Imagine anyone with such a good
eye for colour as Queen Mary
having to be satisfied with 'wool.
that didn't match te' (he back-
ground of her work, Ilow many
other women would have given up
in despair? You and I would prob-
ably have said -"It's no use ...I
I can't get the wool I want so
it's no good starting the job." But
not Queen Mary, And see what she
has accomplished, and ace what
her carpet is still doing for the
British people. That unmatched
background should go down in his-
tory as a symbol of the Queen
Mother's courage and tenacity; of
her determ'n-ttion to do something
to help the people she loves. ,
Another tiring 1 special!) Valued
to see was a demonstration of the
Rorke Method of Needle -weaving.
Ladies, believe use, that is really
something. In needle -weaving you
can make anything from slippers
to berets; handbags to suits, 'l'Ite
time will conte when, If you don't
know how to teedt0-weave you
won't know anything. It Is simple,
inexpensive and quick. After the
Exhibition Mr. and Mrs. Ranke are
opening a shop ol. Yonge Street.
Better run with the crowd stud find
out all about it. However, ,0 won't
be necessary to litty anything at
their store unless you want to -
the thing is to see flow the work
is dune and then it is more than
likely you will have just the tight
kind of needle, net and wool around
home and can go right to work.
At least you can practise with what
you have at Route.
