The Seaforth News, 1958-09-25, Page 6'Tear Anne Hirst:
Our' family is divided on the
question of our two daughters
contributing to the home ex-
penses. They both have , good
positions and their father thinks
they should give us token board,
though we would only save it
and add to it for their future.
I do not agree, nor do they—they
;ay none of their friends do
such a thing and they would
be ashamed to admit they were
asked to.
"I argue that we do not need
their help, and with prices so
high I am sure they can use
all they make. We have a nice
home, garden and cars, and the
older girl plans to commute to
a nearby town to work With
winter coming on, she wants to
take an apartment there with
another girl. Her father dis-
approves.
"Her sister is engaged and
will probably be married in a
few months, so I don't see any
point in her paying board. Then
why should the other one?
"I do not mean to present a
picture of a wrangling house-
hold, but as a matter 01 record
I'd like your opinion.
MOM"
* Parents expect to provide
*'for their children; it is a
,t pleasant duty, and sometimes
a implies sacrifice. They do this
* gladly with no thought of re-
* compense, and they don't ex-
* pest appreciation until the
* children are old enough to
* understand.
* As children get out on their
* own it is salutary for them
* to contribute part of their
* salary to the home, not to re-
* pay parents but as a gesture
* of love and gratitude. When
* a girl earns her first salary
u she feels independent, and
* proud to pay board if it is only
* a few dollars a week. It en-
* genders a feeling of belonging,
* plus responsibility, and tends
* to build character.
* Your husband feels this is
* a sound basis for his argu-
* meet,
* The older girl will find llv-
* ing in town more costly than
* she expects; she may even
* need help from home until
o she lands on her economic feet
* —in which case she might send
* a small sum to you regularly
* to maintain the spirit of her
* father's request. In a strange
w city a girl needs time to learn
a its advantages as well as its
* dangers; to one it seems wise
* that she commute for quite a
* while before settling there.

'Dear Anne Hirst:
The girl'I hope to marry when
I can afford to is 24, and I'm a
year older. As things stand, her
mother is my problem.
"She apposes our marriage,
and won't say why. She has no
reason to (that I know of) but
I am always uncomfortable
when she is around - and that
isn't right. I have the feeling
she doesn't trust roe, but I've
never given her reason not to.,,
"I was away at college three
years, so perhaps she feels she
doesn't know me well. She 'is
a widow, and until my mother
died they were friends, Which
why shall I turn?
BILL"
* If you can win the mother's
confidence she may be more
* reasonable.
* When you and your girl go
* to these musicales you enjoy,
•r ask her to accompany you.
e Perhaps having dinner to-
* gether beforehand will ease
the tension; observing your
* good manners she may relax
a bit and realize you know
* your way around.
* Since you attend the same
church, ask her if you can
* drive them there now and
* then, Find out what books
* and records she prefers. Such
* thoughtful attention cannot
* help but establish you in her
* esteem and pave the way for
* mare confidence. Good luck!

Where Men Of
The Bible Dwelt
"Up there," my guide said
much too casually to suit me,
"is Mount . Nebo where Moses
showed the promised land to
the children of Israel."
We were deep in the fiat bed
of the Jordan River valley, The
Dead Sea, 1,300 feet below sea
level, was only a step away,
The surrounding gray, bar-
ren hills and mountains were
transformed by sunset glow into
subdued tints of orange and
purple, It was not too difficult
to roll back the centuries to
the days when the men of the
Bible dwelled here.
About two hours earlier we
had entered the tropically warm
valley, 'descending slowly from
the heights of Ammam, the capi-
tal of Jordan.
There were occasional or-
chards of lemon, orange, and
banana trees, but most of the
land was dry and unworked
and tired.
We suddenly came upon the
River Jordan and I fumbled
for my camera. My driver guide
arrested my hopes before I could
draw a bead an the winding
30 -foot stream and its grassy
banks.
On both sides 01 the bridge
crossing the Jordan were Jordan
Legionnaires in their red and
white checkered headress. It was
an off-limits military outpost.
For the third time since depart-
ing from Amman, I had to pro-
duce my passport.
Because, said the drvier, "these
fellows know me," we skipped
ahead of five cars of passengers
at the check point and shortly
slowed down behind a truck
sprinkling the streets of new
Jericho.
Apparently accustomed to peo-
ple in a hurry, he tried to dodge
up a side street to save time and
it was not easy to persuade him
that crawling behind a water
sprinkler and looking at the lush
vegetation of the Jerich oasis
was sheer delight on a stiflling
day.
All the way from Amman I
had been tallying about old
Jericho and every time the
driver had diverted the conver-
sation to Qsar Hisham (which
he said he would gladly show
me for anther dollar).
So off we went and were re-
warded by the ruins of a palace
1,200 ,years old. The mosaics
were all he said and mare.
Now, he proclaimed, as he
prevented me for the third time
from taking a picture of Mount
Temptation rising abruptly from
the valley floor several miles
away, we will go to Old Jericho
where you will get the best pic-
ture, writes Courtney Sheldon in
The Christian Science Monitor.
En route were the reminders
of today's unsolved human rela-
tions — the camps of 80,000
Palestinian refugees. The broad
valley swallowed them up as if
they were mere desert villages.
Hoping for the day they can
return to their former homes

It just seems I never run out
of material to fill this column.
There is always something in-

interesting to me so I can only
hope it is also interesting to you.
Take last Tuesday for in-
stance. That was the day the
Salada-Sherriff-Horsey company
gave their annual tea to W.I.
representatives who were invit-
ed to see the handicraft exhibit
and to hear the prize -twinning
announcements. This year the
tea was held at the Royal i'ork'
Hotel.
The contest took the form of
a Quilt Block competition for
which there were 61 entries. The
block patterns were arranged in
loose-leaf albums with hand-
somely decorated hard envers..
Some of the patterns were old
designs carefully treasured from
one generation to another. Others
were comparatively new and one
had to be original, All the work
was of excellent quality includ-

the middle of the camps. It was
easy to see why most of the
talented and educated refugees
leave for greener pastures;
though the high birthrate keeps
the population of the camps the
same or growing.
Just as the excavations of old
Jericho rose into view we began
passing hundreds of refugee wo-
men on their way to and from
Elisha's well. They balanced
water jugs on their heads and
were marvelously erect.
The refugees settled along the
Jordan because of its warmth
during the winter. After 10
years, most of them are said by
UN officials to have little inter-
est in being resettled under more
favorable conditions. They are
not starving or oppressed and
prefer to remain as a reminder
to the world of their hopes to.
return to Israel.
Surrounded by wire fencing,
Old Jericho is not extensively
uncovered. Portions of towers
and the footings of the walls
which "fell flat" when "they
blew with the trumpets" can be
seen,
On the move again. we halt-
ed at the Dead Sea where a new
hotel is rising on the north
shore, Not far away is where
the Jordan empties into the sea.
A few miles upstream is where,
it is said, Jesus was baptized by
John the Baptist. The road to
the river is unmarked as are
many other highways.
No one was on the highway
as we headed up out of the val-
ley toward the towers of Jeru-
salem in the quiet of the even-
ing. The land, which by day
still suffers the weight of march-
ing feet and the burden 'of the
oppressed, was serene and com-
posed, It was once more the
land which brought forth men.
whose words and deeds are of
eternity.
ing the beautiful designs in quilt-
ing, In fact the workmanship
was so good I am sure the judges
must have had a hard time
reaching a decision. However,
probably their work was made
a little easier through the gen-
erosity of the sponsors who of-
fered not only three prizes but
$10 each to the ten entries re-
ceiving honourable mention.
The lst prize award was given
to the West End W.I. of Guelph;
the 2nd to West Fort William;
and the Ord to Elder Mills,
Woodbridge. The ten awards
went to the following districts;
Sheddon; Gorrie, Appin, King
City, Sault Ste. Marie, Dublin,
Watford, Desboro, Kingston and
Burgessville.
It was a very happy, friendly
afternoon for everyone. Not only
was it a grand opportunity to
see at first hand a splendid dis-
play of rural talent but it also
gave W.T. members from far and
wide one more occasion to meet
their Provincial officers and
ether W.T. personnel and to dis-
cuss their common problems one
with another. I, for one,
thoroughly enjoyed it, This of
course, is only a brief account.

Well, I had just nicely caught
my breath as it were, after Tues-
day's affair when along comes an
invitation to a tea at the C.N.E.
It was for the first Thursday
when all, the exhibits were r•ce
and fresh. But it was raining and
I wondered. — should I or
shouldn't 1 go? In the end I don-
ned sloshers, raincoat and cap,
and sallied forth with an umbrel-
la, hoping the weather would
clear before too long, It did, so
my optimism was justified.
I soon noticed the grounds at
the C.N.E. had had a fax' lift-
ing, All along the front, where
there used to be nothing but
cars, there are now lovely gar-
dens, and no less than three
water fountains, spilling over
into huge greenlined basins. Even
the light standards are eye
,catching. Atop each pole fliesa
flag; a few feet down is the
light itself and some distance
beneath it flower baskets en-
circle the pole from which are
growing flowering plants and
hanging vines. Certainly the new
arrangement along the front pre-
sents a far more pleasing ap-
pearance than before and elimin-
ates a lot of the unwelcome lit-
ter that used to be the first
thing one saw. The new men -
moth water fountain is also quite
lovely. In fact to all outward
appearances the C,N,E, is much
improved,
As for the exhibits 1 am not
in a position to say too much as
I was only in a few of the
buildings. I noticed there was
more originality than usual -t
the Flower Show. The Govern-
ment Building had well arranged
informative displays and the
quality and variety of work
shown in the Queen Elizabeth
