"Dear Anne Hirst: Three
years ago I met a girl who fell
in love with me. When 1 had to
tell her I only liked her, she
tried to kill herself = so I kept
on seeing her. Finally I didfall
in love. The clay we celebrated
our second wedding anniver-
sary, she told me she did not
love me nor the baby, and
wanted a divorce. So two
,,months ago 1 left,
"I still cannot see how I lei.- -
ed her. 1 made a good living. l
helped at home, I did all the
cooking. She just read love
stories or listened to the radio.
I was trying to save, but all she
wanted was to spend and be on
the go, sometimes being out
half the night and drinking too
much. Through two illnesses 1
nursed her like a father — and ' .,
this is what I get:
"Recently I wrote asking her
to come back for the baby's
sake, and she replied, To you
think I'm going to let that baby
ruin my life?' Is there any hope
of living together again? My "
mother has the child,
A BROKEN LIFE"
^ I think there is little hop:

that your wife will ever re-
turn. She has no feeling of
responsibility or love toward
you or her baby. When you
calmly review your life with
her you will, I believe. con-
clude that this way is best;
she is not a good wife, and
she certainly would not make
a good mother to your baby.
You two will be- better off
without her.
All she wants is an easy lite
and her own way. She lacks
character and stability. Try-
ing to kill herself was not
proof of any love for you; she
could not have her own way
and was too weak to face go-
ing on without it. She was
spoiled to begin with, and you
continued the process; you
were entirely too good to her.
If she had been made to face
her duties, she might have de-
veloped some moral strength;
but you cared too much to
force her. It was not love she
needed so much as discipline.
Plan your life now with no
thought of her in mind. If
she did consent to come back
it would onlc mean. I'm
atreid that every other refuge
had closed to het — and in
that case she would continue
to be your major problem.

General news is like an octopus
with tentacles that reach out to
every village and farm so that
general news inevitably be-
comes, to a great extent, local
news For this reason farm folk
now need an awareness of pub -
lie affairs that was not actually
necessary a decade ago, Unless
we cultivate this awareness we
may find ourselves left out in
schemes_ in which we should be
included.
Referring again to the recent•

eration of Labour are putting on
the heat for the early formation
of some kind of health plan. And
remember, labour usually gets
what it wants. So, if a health
plan comes into being for or-
ganized labour, where does that
leave the farmer? Isn't this
something that should be inves-
tigated by the Federation of
Agriculture; by the Women's In- '
stitute and by Farm Forums
across Ontario? Who needs to
be included in a government-
sponsored health insurance plan
more than the farmer? Farming
is a hazardous occupation. On
very few farms are farm em-
ployees insured under tis Work-
men's Compensation Act and if
the termer himself is involved
in an accident about all he can
claim is the cost of hospitaliza-
tion—that is if he has contri-
buted to some such scheme. If
not he must bear the entire cost
of his accident, plus the expense
of extra help while he is laid up.
For this reason, we certainly
hope that if, and when, a Ilcralth
Plan is organized, the- farmer
will not be the Forgotten Man.
Before it is too late, the Voice
of the Farmer should be heard
across. Ontario through an or
ganized group or soviely of
which he is a member.

$120,000,000 is spent every year
in Britain alone to protect iron

losses due to rust are estimated
at a billion and a half a year.
To protect a 10,000 -ton cruiser

the fuel consumption of a war-

in six months owing to rust
