I am in love with a young an
29, I am 41. He has courted me
for nearly live years, and has
shown his love in every way.
All along he has begged me tO
marry him, but I have always
been skeptical because of our
ages; he constantly assures me
that does not matter.
"I told him we'd have to stop
seeing each other. He went away
to try to forget, but we were
both miserable and in two

months he was back. I have tried
to put him out of my life, but
when I don't see leim it almost
'frills me . . , I should tell you
I have three children by a for-
mer marriage, two nearly grown
and one nine years old. He wants
to take full responsibility.
-"Now, Anne Hirst, he is plead-
ing again, He says he needs a
wife, and he wants me—but if
I don't make up my mind soon
he wilt try to find someone else-
where. He was married once
wben he was very young.

years too much difference when
you truly love each other? I'm
not getting any younger, and I
need a husband. Please advise

Hour of Decision
" You have known this young
s' man for five yen's. Is that long
*' enough to have tested his de-
" votion and faithfulness, his res-
"' nonsibility. his single -hearted-
* nese" If you waited another
year, would you know htira any
* better? Being young, he is im-
• patient of further delay.
"' You are rich in knowledge
". of marriage and the compli- '
°• cations of fancily life, so you •
* will weigh his place as your
"' husband. He is eager to assume
its added responsibilities. How
will your children welcome
* his presence? If you have even
" a faint doubt that he would
settle down into your family
* circle to the contentment of all
• concerned, your answer le
o clear.
• Obviously, the young man is
* mature for his years. You are
"' still young in heart, and the
'' friendship and trrrut you have
" shared should influence your
o answer now. Has he, through:
° these five year,,;, swerved from
° his one intent, to be your hue-
* band and your children's gond •
"` companion?
" Considering all these angles.
* you will make up your own
" mind, I agree that he lute wan-

"Dear Ante. Hirst:
I hope to marry a girl whom
I love dearly. She is wonderful
in every way --except that she
doesn't stick to the truth. •

events, for instance, she distorts
and exaggerates them. It she sees
a movie, you wouldn't recognize
the plot from her description,

MOULDY BREAD
A housewife doesn't require a
microscope to know when a loaf'
of Lread has gone mouldy, Some-
times her nose detects the musty
odour long before the green or
blackish clusters of growing bac-
teria are apparent to the eye,
But she would need a micro-
scope to see the mould seeds or
spores that float around in the
air and settle anywhere. That is
one reason why mould is more
common in summer when open
windows invite an invasion of
spores. The other reason is that
m o u l d thrives on su nmer•'s
moist, warm conditions, Actually,
mould grows fastest at tempera-
tures of 80 to 90 degrees Fahren-
heit, which is about the normal
year-round temperature of most
kitchens. So, even when bakers
try to discourage mould by main-
taining strict cleanliness, house -
w i v es may be unwittingly
encouraging it,
There are two measures for
combatting mould which h a v e
been practiced by a nuanber of
progressive Canadian bakers for
man years. One involves the
observance of rigid cleanliness
rules, The other is a chemical
compound known to scientists as
sodium propionate,
"This is a white powder that
looks like flour and can be baked
into bread so that every crumb
is protected against bacteria. It
is the same substance that
Nature puts into some foods such
as milk, butter, vinegar and
cheese. A well-developed Swiss
cheese, for example, contains
almost one per cent sodium pro-
pionate, which is the reason it
is so resistant to mould.
However, Nature neglected to
incl u d e sodium propionate in
some of our daily foods, And
so it was up to the chemast to
synthesize it for the baker to
add hinnseli. The powder was
discovered only alter years of
searching leer a chemical come
pound that was harmless, but
would delay mould and rope in
bread and other bakery products.
It was learned that it effectively
retards both mould and rope
without affecting the b r e a d' s
quality, texture, flavour or ap-
pearance.
Costing bakers only a few
pennies for one hundred loaves
of bread, sodium propionate is
harmless since it occurs naturally
in some of 'our most nourishing
foods, Its potency If; not limited
to bread alone. It also makes
up for Nature's oversight in
baked goods of all kinds, include
ing rolls, buns, doughnuts, muf-
fins and in cakes and pies which
can also be hot -weather viettms
of mould if not rope.

Two days Oi warm sunshine,
and what happens? Oft with the
storm windows, on with the
screens. Shed coats, sweaters and
underwear; Let out the furnace
and open up the doors. Take an
old knife and gleefully cut the
first tender shoots of asparagus.
Bring in an armful of ruby -red
rhubarb. Hunt last year's fly
swatter and relentlessly murder
the first fly of summer. Walk
around the flower beds and see
the spring limners burst into
bloom almost as you watch them,
One clay, just a few out here and
there; the next day, daffodils,
narcissi and hyacinths from one
end of the garden to the other.
Bobolinks singing; killdeer weird-
ly calling as they fly overhead,
Forsythia silently ringing its
golden bells; little pink buds on
the flowering almond; red buds
on the japonica; cats that have
been content to sleep lazily on a
comfortable chair now disappear
from daylight to dark, and again
from dark to daylight, just corn»
ing in long enough to get a drink
of fresh hulk. Worms explore
the surface of the ground and if
we look down into the good
earth or the greening grass we
shall find insect life of every de.
scription coming into action. Too
much so -- already the tent cat-
erpillars are setting up houses
ready to do thetr destructive
work. I found one such tent on
a flowering shrub today. I must
get after it tomorrow.
At the barn things are not too
pleasant. 'Because of the sudden
heat the cows are not happy
either in the stable or the yard
and there is not enough growth
yet to turn them out. The hu-
midity in the cow stables makes
the cement wet and slippery. To
work among the cattle is neith-
er safe or as easy as It is in
cooler weather. In the henhouse
biddies go broody or lay imper-
fect eggs. Pigs, if confined, are
not too happy either, In fact
there isn't a creature that en-
joys being shut in. All outdoors
is calling — to man, bird, beast
and all the things that crawl upe
on the earth.
So then what do us women do?
I don't really need to tell you —
I am quite sure you are as guilty
as I am. Didn't you feel the love.
ly warm sunshine was a golden
opportunity to realler go to work
on the housecleaning — to get
jobs done that had to be left when
the weather was so unsettled. I
went right to work even though
it was Saturday. I even passed
up an auction sale of antiques so
I could finish my living -room.
But the weather wasn't as settled
as I imagined, I had the scatter
rugs and afghans out on the
grass and was so engrossed with
the vacuum cleaner that I failed
to notice a thunder shower was
pelting down, "My rut, ' I cried
in dismay as I ran to the door.
Too late — they were already
soaked through.

"Oh well" •-- that isn't my ex-
pression 1 borrowed it from a
young follow who often visite
here. He le married, has a fam-
ily of small children and during
the last few years there have
been operations and various ill-
nesses in the family one after
another. After telling us the
latest :family news this young
fellow always winds up by say-
ing — "Oh well . . . l" And leaves
it at that. Ile is a terrine work-
er and we have never found him
anything but goad -temper .d and
optimistic. I think it roust have
been a person with a similar
disposition who said "I felt
sorry because 1 had no shoes,
until I met man who had no
feet,"
"Oh vwell" can lrarcily be call-
ed a profound expression its
strength lies in the implication
of what is left unsaid.
I was interrupted in my typ-
ing a few minutes ago by a apart
who came to cheek the hydro
meter — first step in this district
towards the change -over from 25
to 60 cycle which is supposed to
take place some time towards the
end of the year. I wonder will
the light bulbs last any longer
as a result? Last week a `bulb
burnt out theft had been in use
for eight years. Now we think
ourselves lucky if a bulb lasts
eight weeks, Why the difference
— that is something I would Like
to know? At one time bulbs were
sold with the label — good for
1,000 hours, or 1,500 hours, as the
case might be, Now nee light
bulbs leave us in the dark as to
their life expectancy. Maybe
that might be a little matter for
the Better Business Bureau to
inquire into.
