"Dear Anne Hirst: About six
months ago I met a fine boy, We.
have gone places and had good•
times together; even my family
likedhim,which as yeti know
doesn't always happen. fie is
handsome and has grand man-
ners, and I fell hard. Of course
I' thought he did, too'
'although
now I remember that he never
didcommit himself,' Anyway, a
girl friend of mine dropped in
one night while he was there
(and she wasn't invited) so she
called her boy friend and we all
went out together.
"That was the dumbest thing
I ever did, She made a play for
him, and Eve hardly seen him
since. They go everywhere to-
gether. I amsick about it. I had
heard she likes to break up
couples, I guess just to see if
she can; but she seemed friend-
ly to me, so I didn't believe the
stories. The boys fall; for her
(I think I know why) and al-
though she ,doesn't holdthem
long there's always another one
around. Maybe she feels bad
about this one of mine she laud -
d, because now she doesn't
speak to me.
"I would love to have him
back, even though he is in the

;write to me,, but I don't sup -
nese he ever will. Is there any.
way I can get him back?'1 go
out with other' people, .but I
can't keep my mind on them.

Once a young man .stops
* dating you, I know of no way
* you can bring him back. Don't
*`blame the girl too harshly; if
* he had thought as 'much of
* you as you believed, her-
* charms would have been in
* vain. It .is your misfortune
* that you fell in love with one
* who cared less for you.
* This is one reason to keep
* on dating other friends. (You
* would anyhow, since he has
* left town.) At f itst they may
* not seem exciting, but it,.pays
* to keep going out with them
* especially when your 'spirits
* are low; you'll be going places
* and .doing things, and in spite
* of yourself _you'll be cheered.
* If I may suggest it, why not
* drop this girl as promptly as
* she has dropped you? She
* isn't the right sort, and others
* might feel you aren't, either.

IS IT TOO LATE?
"Dear Anne Hirst: I have
heard girls who learned how
much they loved a man only
when- they lost him, but I never
believed it was true. Now I
know, and how unhappy I am!
"Nearly two years ago I met.
this boy, and we went regularly
together until two months ago.
Then I called it quits, and now
I miss him so much I am in a
state of collapse. Finally he
came around and I was, apolo-
getic and as nice as I could be,
but he said pointblank that- he
didn't love me as he did. . , . If
it was real love in the first
place, couldn't he love me now
and forgive me?
MARCIA"
* One is sometimes so hurt by
* injustice or . unkindness that
* he cannot even consider a re-
* conciliation, I expect this
* young man is no mood to risk
* what he thinks might be a
* second offense, All you can do
* now is to wait and to hope.
* It would be in poor taste to.
• call him or write. Let him
* find out whether you are. more
* important in his ,life than he
* thought; if you are, he will
* soon be with you. But mean-
* time, go out as often as you
* can with other dates, if only
* to keep yourself in circula-
* tion. It won't be easy, but af-
* ter the first few times you
* will find you can actually en-
joy them. Isn't that smarter
* than staying home alone and
* pitying yourself?

Q. Do you think it's proper
for one girl to borrow another
girl's lipstick?
A. While this is frequently
done, I still think that lipstick is
just a bit too personal an item
to borrow.
Q. Is it necessary that the
acknowledgment of an invitation,
wheneither accepting or declin-
ing, be definite, or is it all right
for one to say, "I may be able
to come"?
A. By all means, be definite
when acknowledging an invita-
tion - either "yes' or `"no".

LOOK ALIKES-Striking resemblance between Ingrid Bergman
and her daughter, Jenny Ann Lindstrom, isshown in this scene
at a Romesouvenir stand. Jenny visited with her mother for
the first time in several years and hod her initial meeting with
her stepbrothers and step -sisters.
Ever since I can remember -I
have been fascinated in trying
to figure out reason for people
being where they are. Take any
town or country district -east,
west, north, south -what reason
did any particular family have
for living in any of those districts
•-or any district for that matter?
I always wonder still more so
now, since we have been on the
move ourselves, and find our--
aelves continually bumping into
people who are, or will be, mov-
ing to the very district we have
left. When we went back to.
Halton during the Federal elec-
tion we passed -a hundred -acre
farm about three miles from
Ginger Farm on which had been
built, among the trees, a very
lovely modern home, with a
grand view across the country.
The owners, we were toi'd, came
from "somewhere near Toronto".
I forgot about the place until
one day last week. At that time
I was exploring an out-of-the-
way residential area near here -
as I often do -and noticed a par-
ticularly attractive house for
sale in a wooded section. I
stopped and spoke to the lady
of the house and discovered
they were selling as they had
bought a hundred acres in Halton
and had built a house that was
even now ready and waiting for
diem. The one we had seen, no
less! Of course, I don't know
their reasons for moving but I do
know this—their tax bill for
a hundred- acres will be less than
what they are paying for their
present house. Besides that, as
they don't intend to farm there
is nothing to stop them selling
off acre, or five acre lots from
their property for country homes.
That is ' just. one `moving"
instance but we have run across
many others.. Probably people
are trying to escape high taxa-
tion. Well, from 'what we hear
it can't be done. Taxesare sky-
rocketing everywhere, even in
country districts. Education
seems to be the greatest single
factor. The Provincial govern-
ment has promised to ease the
burden so we shall await de-
velopments with interest, ale
though any easement that comes
will be too late to affect next
year's taxes.
Well, I had plenty of oppor-
tunity last week to indulge r y
curiosity about people and whore
they live as last Sunday Bob a .1
family took us to Midland whc
Dec and her family were on a
two-week vacation - at No't•s-
us on a four-hour sight-serhg
country to. Partner and me so
naturally we enjoyed .the trip 1".-
menseiy sepecially as Art h . 1
a motor-lamch rented to ta'ae
us n oa four-hour sight -seem
trip on the lake. We went from
Midland to. Honey Harbor, skirt-
ed around Christian Island and
then back home again. At times
there was quite a swell on the
water, white caps tossing - a
.feathery spray: Not really rough,
just, enuogh so "we could feel -
the motion of the boat -which
added to our enjoyment. Our
three grandsons loved, it, al-
though two of them spent part
of the time sleeping. From the.
water we saw the Martyrs'
Shrine in the distance (now I'll
Radio Is On
The Upswing
Who listens to radio` any
more? The answer at the mo-
ment, according to the country-
wide business -analysis firm of
$indlinger & Co., is 6 - million
more people -.than have been
watching TV. -
Is' this a summertime freak or
a growing trend? There is no
great meeting of minds in the
industry on that answer, but
here is what has been happen-
ing:
never be satisfied until I get a
closer view). Along the road
we passed the site of the summer
ski -jump.
'lottawaga Beach is a lovely
woodsy district but we hadn't
been there 10 minutes before
the mosquitoes were out in force
to meet me. Not everyone -just
me. Why I should be so favored
I don't know, but that's the way
it always' is. Dave and Eddie
were naturally having a grand
time on the beach, fearless Ed-
die dashing into the water as if
he intended to swim the bay.
We returned by way of Barrie
and No. 27 Highway and did not
run into heavy traffic anywhere.
Such lovely scenery along the
road. I understand that when
No. 27 was built consideration
was given, as far as possible,
to making it a scenic route to
the north. Certainly the engin-
eers succeeded, if that was their
purpose. Ontario is such a lovely
province' 1 think we owe it to
ourselves to see as much of it
as possible, always remembering
that many of the beauty spots
_are often practically on our own
doorstep.
Since 1948, when, radio was
supposed • to have started dying
while its kid brother, TV, was
growing, the number of radio
stations increased 64 per cent
(present number: 3,744).
At the end of June, 70 trillion
people were listening to radio
and the . same number were
watching TV. By July 20, . radio.
had picked. up ' 2 million fans
and TV had dropped 4 million.
Fourteen per cent more net-
work radio time was sold in the
first quarter of this year than
the same quarter of 1956.
The 'most significant develop-
ment in radio, many people in
the industry believe, is the
growth of . the independent sta-
tions. They give the local listen-
ers a. rich diet of listening mat-
ter related to his local interests,
which the chains cannot do,
Local news is reported' on the
air almost as fast as it happens.
Important, too, is the fact that
local people in large numbers
go on the air free, rather than
as paid performers. A local sta-
tion can thrive without spend-
ing very much money. The net-
works have their high-priced disk
jockeys, but the local stations
are saturated with low-priced
jockeys.
Television itself has contribut-
ed to the rise in tfie radio busi-
ness, local or network, trade ex-
perts believe. Joel Culligan, head
of NBC radio, points out that
advertisers who spend large
sums on TV, supplement this ad-
vertising with the inestpensive
and much more numerous ``spots"
available to them on radio - and
the more they deal in TV, the
more they supplement on radio.
CBS's head of radio programm-
ing Howard Barnes, makes the
same point: "A single shot on
TV needs to be backed by
widespread coverage on radio."
But Barnes and Culligan dis-
agree on the significance of ra-
dio's current recovery. Culligan
feela radio's popularity will con-
tinue in the fall. "A summer
fluke," Barnes calls it. "To say
radio 'listeners will outnumber
TV watchers would be foolish"
Robert Eastman, president of
ABC radio, attributes the med-
ium's present upswing in part to
"showmanship," and adds: "I'm
in favour of stunts." He plans,
in addition, to help the present
trend along with plenty of live
music. "Soaps and variety are
out," he says. "What the house-
wife wants is to hear music while
she's working. Radio is the only
medium that can offer it." He
also has great faith in "gazinkus
- a kind of magnetism, F.D.R.
had it. Billy Graham has it."
Another who seems to have
it is the star of CBS's new, talked -
There is a lot in the papers
these days about the pollution
of the River Credit. Well, we
live in the Credit Valley now
and it is heartbreaking to see
so many lovely parks closed to
the public because of polluted
waters -pollution that shouldn't
be allowed. Yesterday I parked
my car behind a garage and
noticed an awful stench. 011

back into a shallow ditch. A
very small ditch but eventually
it would drain into the Credit
River. At Streetsville a dam pro-

having a mud fight. They scoop-
ed mud from the river bed and
threw it at each other.

"Radio is going to surge back,"

of checking in their imagination
and just staring.

Q. Is it proper to -write a few

A. Itis quite all right to do
so, although itis not necessary.
Q. When a finger bowl is part
of a formal dinner, doe:. one put
both hands in at the same time?
A. Never. Dip the fingers of
one hand into the bowl at a time.
Q Is it always necessary to
say, "You're welcome," in re-
sponse to "Thank you"?
A. Some response should be
made, and "You're welcome," or
"That's quite all right" are al-
ways good.
