The Seaforth News, 1958-08-28, Page 8A Nt LB ST /c u i, p dC.cawa. le t "Dear Anne Hirst: From time to time your feminine readers have asked you why so many risen date cheap girls. I think I've got the answer: They are cheap themselves. I confess it sometimes happens in the arm- ed forces; the men get bored stiff with routine and long for any excitement, so they pick the first girl who's willing to give it. Other fellows think they can find release in booze, That's just crazy. "A lot of people have the idea that service men are mostly drunkards. Some do go over- board, but they get their come- uppance fast. As for liquor, 1 seldom touch it. I'in in the Air Force, and even with my hum- ble rank I know I'm responsible in a small way for the safety of others. I wouldn't take the chance. "I enlisted nine years ago, and I'm still M. I am about in the • mond to get m a r r i e d, but 1 haven't found the right girl yet, Maybe I'm too choosy? "I'm looking for a decent girl who can gook and keep a tidy house and who isn't too hard. to look at. Definitely, not a bar- fly! She'll be a good sport, easy to get along with, and she won't demand more than my pay can take. I want children, so she must be a girl who is fit to bring then up in the right way: I'll do my part as a father, too. "I am not impatient, Anne Hirst. The girl I'll mar r y is waiting for.

AS1iING FOR MORE "Dear Anne Hirst: I have left my husband for the second time. The first time it was because he was running about town with another girl. He promised every- thing if I would come back, so I did. "It was the same story. I went to see the girl, and I was r.ice to her: she gave me her word she would never see him again ... But she told him of my visit, and evidently exagger- ated quite a bit. Ile started mis- treating me terribly, and I fin- ally grew so afraid of him phy- sically that I left again "I honestly believe I have done my part. I have worked in a factory, done all my own housework and laundry, and kept myself as attractive as I could in the circumstances — "Now, once more, he is beg- ging me to come back. How can I trust him? FRIGHTENED" * In my opinion you cannot * trust him at all. * Someone who knows your * husband might help you. Have * you a brother or father who * can handle him for you? If * not, consult the Legal Aid * Society for advice and help. * Personally, I think you have * had more than enough. When * a guilty man vents his wrath e an a helpless wife, how can * she ever feel safe living with him? * * * To Service Men: If you are waiting for the girl of your dreams, mingle with others who hold the same ideals. You won't have to wait so long. Anne Hirst served in the first World War and was the confidante of many a lonesome soldier overseas.

Upon being introduced to Miss Brown for the second time, is it all right to say, "I know Miss Brown"? A. This statement seems to sound as if it were too much trouble to make a second ac- knowledgment. It is much bet- ter to sap, "I have already had the pleasure of meeting Miss Brown." Q. Is one obligated to send a wedding gift to a friend who is marrying for the second time, especially if one sent a gift for the first marriage? A. If the friend is a widow who is marrying again, I think it would be nice to send her an- other gift. If, however, she is a divorcee, it's up to you. There is no obligation. 1N THE MIDDLE— Designed by Enzo Alabanese, of Rome, Italy, these new shoes feature high heels sprouting from the arches. Though moved far forward from their normal position, tho heels, made of metal, do not interfere with the comfort of the shoes, according to the designer. A survey of marriageable 20 -year-old girls in 12 cities disclosed that their ideal husband type Is singer Perry Como. William Holden garnered second spot with Rock Hudson coming in third. President Eisenhower and Tab Hunter tied for fourth place while Tony Curtis and Elvis Presley ran a dead heat for fifth. Tied for sixth place are Vice President Nixon, Jeff Chandler, the late James Dean, Jerry Lewis, Marlon Brando and Sen. John F. Kennedy (D -Mass.). Poll was taken by the Department of Sociology at Regis College, Denver, Colo. ,"r HRONICL 1NGERFARM evev It looks this morning as if we ere to be in for another ses- sion of wondering — wondering "what's -going -to -happen -next". I am referring to the new crisis in the Middle East. History re- peats itself so often. Remember how Hitler brought things to a head just after Chamberlain had reassured the Western world by h i s "peace -in -our -time" pro- nouncement? Now, with the U.S. in particular hoping for great things from the proposed Sum- mit Talks, Nasser obviously has cther plans, Remember, too, when Sir Anthony Eden said time would probably prove his policy had been right in connec- tion with the Suez crisis? Such times as we live in! Sometimes I wonder how men— and women -in high offices can stand up under their load of re- sponsibility. I wonder, too, how there can be such a divergence of opinion about international afairs. Somebody mut be right but who? And how can IA with our less^r knowledge know who is right or wrong? The best we can do is to have confidence with those in authority, knowing that from their viewpoint they are working for the good of the world as a whole, guided, we hope, by a Higher Power, In the meantime interest of British and Canadian people is divided between unrest in the Middle East and interest in members of the Roytl Family. The Queen, under the weather, and Princess Margaret attract- ing interest and affection on her travels through Canada. Presi- dent Eisenhower's visit to Can- ada also attracted a good deal of attention on butt' sides of the border — some of it contro- versial Yes, all these important things are taking place and yet how little of lit is in evidence, The effects are not nearly so obvious as the aftermath of a storm. Last Thursday's storm for instance was quite spectacular while it lasted, I was alone, I had all the doors and windows open When suddenly the wind and rain struck with tremendous force. Before 1 could get around to shut up the house the rain had come through the back screen door and was flooding the hall and running downstairs to the base- ment. I began to wonder how Partner was faring on the tarn. 10 miles away. When he came home that night he said there hadn't been any rain at all. Queer, how freakish the weather can be. The rain was very welcome. Since then we have picked peas, beans and beets from our garden —for ourselves, our two families and some of our neighbours. Sur- prising what one can get from one small garden. Just to keep life from gettirg dull we have had more cat trouble. Ditto disappeared Wed- nesday night. Generally she comes on the run when I call her. But not this time We final- ly had to go to bed but left the garage door open hoping she would take refuge there dur- ing the night. With so many dogs around I naturally felt un- easy. Next morning, no Ditto. 13y 6.30 I was out calling and look- ing for her, trailing through vacant lots thick with poison ivy It was a neighbour who finally found her, away at the top of a hickory tree, afra`d to come down. Another neighbor said—"If you have a ladder I'll go up after her. 1 don't mind climbing." So between us we got the ladder and placed it in posi- tion—Partner being away. Laura, as agile as a cat herself, was up the ladder and had the cat res- cued in no time. Ditto, except for being frightener, was none the worse but spent the rest of the day eating and sleeping. Laura and family were going to North Bay next morning for two weeks and asked if I would take care of their kitten—the kitten being Ditto's daughter! Well, they brought Winkey down and such spitting and swearing I never heard, Blood is thicker than water, so they say, but ap• parently that truism doesn't ap- ply to cats - or at any rate kittens. Ditto was soon friend- ly but not Winkey. Now after three days, she is still using bad language, even though mo- ther and daughter chase each other in play around the house. But just let Ditto make one un- expected move and Winkey's back is up like a shot. And here. is another -cat story. Six years ago my Forest Hill friend had a cat named Mickie. Two ,fears later the family adopted a stray—Tinker, Mickie, jealous, no doubt, decided to leave home, returning periodical. ly but only to go away again, back to a family farther down the street who had taken her tn. Two months ago Tinker, the stray, disappeared, probably run over or poisoned. The day 1 was there visiting, Mickie came back, explored the house from bedrooms to basement, found no sign of Tinker and decided to stay. He is still there, making himself comfortable in the same chair and on the same bed that he used to occupy . after four years' absence. My goodness, I almost forgot to tell you . , . last night I saw Sputnik III. About 10,30 I saw what appeared to be a double star—it seemed to come from no- where and disappeared a few seconds later into space. At first I thought it was a shooting star but a star doesn't disappear sud- denly as this one did. This morn- ing the paper announced Sput- nik had been seen by quite a number of people reporting from various points in Ontario, so it must have been Sputnik. 'High -Born Babies As an airliner from the United States flew 19,000 feet over the coast of Ireland recently an extra passenger arrived — a baby boy, born to a 24 -year-old American woman. Assisting at the birth were the air hostess, the captain of the aircraft and the purser. Said a spokesman for the air- line: "All our crews are taught what to do in an emergency like this arni everything went smooth- ly. This is our third baby born on a flight in the past 10 years," What's the birth height re- cord? I'm told that it's held by Little Tony Sabbag, who was horn in a Comet in 1953 and was the firstbaby to be born in a jet airliner. The plane was fly- ing over the Sahara between Dakar and Casablanca at 39,000 feet when Tony arrived. The first birth ever recorded in the history of flying took place on October 26th, 1929, when a seven -and -a -half pound baby girl was born to Mrs. M. D. Evans while circling in .an air- craft 1,200 feet over Miami, Florida. It had always been the mother's ambition to be the first woman to give birth to a child in mid- air. In the aircraft at the time besides Mrs. Evans were her husband, a doctor, the baby's grandmother, two nurses, two attendants of the local hospital service and an attending phy- sician as well as two pilots.
