"We've been married seven years, and got along well until he met another girl where he works. I went to her mother and told her what was going on—and she said her daughter was a Christian and wouldn't stoop to such a thing! ... "Do you think he will come back and behave himself? -I have never done anything to justify such cruelty, and I am nearly beside myself.

How Britons Rule The Waves Passengers riding channel steamers between Dover and Calais endure many rough pas- sages across the twenty storm - tossed miles that separate Eng- land and France. However, in- stallation of a pneumatic break- water in Dover Harbour, de- signed to reduce wave heights in rough weather, makes ship handling easier and at least the start and conclusion of a trip more comfortable for both pas- sengers and crew. The pneumatic breakwater is ' °OOPS --Mrs. Richard Vander Veer displays her design for a flog that incorporates a 49th star for Alaska. Unwittingly; she. aslso anticipated statehood for Hawaii. Count the number of stars, a device which releases, coni - pressed air et the bottom of the sea from air distributors Mould- ed from polythene. The cam pressed air risesto the surface intermittently in large bubbles, creatinglocal turbulence in the water,, This turbulence interrupts normal wave action because the air bubbles distort the 'harmonic action of oncoming waves. Thus regular wave motion is convert- ed into random turbulence,' It has taken forty yearsto develop a satisfactory method of controlling waves. First attempts centred around creating a wall of air bubbles; however,. the large amount of power required to generate a complete barrier proved prohibitively expensive. The breakwater consists of polythene air distributors mount- ed on strips of railroad track, forty -five , feet long weighing ninety pounds a yard, which are stabilized on the sea-bed with two railroad ties, There are thirty-seven sections in •the breakwater. Each air distributor is connected to a small under- water manifold on one of the ties with 1/2" polythene pipe. The small, underwater manifolds are connected to a main manifold and six 500 c.f.m. air compressors, on shore, with 11/2" polythene pipe. The system, installed on a trial basis in September 1956, aims to reduce wave height by fifty percent, which corresponds to a loss of three quarters of the waves' original energy, This fifty percent reduction permits safe entry into the harbour in rough weather and facilitates ship handling at the jetties. The installation has been under ob- servation for two years and in that time no adverse effects due to submersion or weather have been detected. The strength and durability of the installation is further attested to by the fact that over 1,500 ships have steam= ed over this installation at an average of eight knots, with only ten feet of clearance at low tide, and no damage has resulted.— From "Plastics Sphere." Will The Duke Ride An Elephant? India is preparing a warm welcome for the Duke of Edin- burgh when he goes there next year. He will arrive in New Delhi in January to attend the Indian science congress and will be received with State honours. Later the Duke will tour centres of scientific and industrial in- terest. One of the most spectacular of all royal visits to India was that made by the late King George V and Queen Mary. They went to meet the Princes of India at the Delhi Durbar of 1911.' Queen Mary sat in a carriage beneath a great gold fan and gold and crimson umbrella held by Indian attendants. King George was on horseback, diess- ed in the uniform of a Field Marshal. Many Indians expressed disap- pointment that the King did not ride on an elephant during the State precession that followed and hope that the Duke will amend matters. When the Princes came to pay homage to the royal visitors, some bowed over their swords, some threw earth on their heads, some spread out shawls over which to make obeisance. Drums crashed, guns were fired, the National Anthem was played ,and, wrote a reporter of 1911, "when the chief herald proclaimed the King -Emperor's greeting, the great assemblage rose, swayed for a few moments like a wide garden of multi- coloured flowers, then stiffened to attention.... The scene was most moving ani megnificent." Oraiv Mothers! You could be re- placed by a block of wood cover- ed with sponge rubber and heat- ed by a light bulb. This revelation was made re- cently to the American Pyscho- logical Association by a psy- chologist named Harlow, of the University of Wisconsin Dr. Harlow set up two' fake mothers; one a: described, the other being made only front wire screen. Both were warmed, both contained a gadget that gave. milk. Subjects were a group of baby monkeys. One and all, the monkeys pre- ferred the mother they could cuddle up to, even when she didn't give .milk and the wire mother did. Dr. Harlow takes this to indicate that a baby's love for his mother does not de- pend on the fact that she feeds him — but rather because sbe supplies comfort and security by contact. Johnny had been caught telling a fib. "How do you expect to get to Heaven?" asked his mother. The boy thought for a moment and then said: "Well, I'll just run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door till they say, 'For goodness sake, come in or stay out: Then I'll go in."

To Christmas, I mean. And we hope to the end of the deep freeze. My, but it's been a long cold spell. Ten below here for four consecutive mornings—and the furnace pumping oil all the time. That didn't worry us too much ... we would have been more worried had it not been pumping. Sunday morning we saw a furnace repair truck at one of our neighbours. It was there quite a while and I hate to think of what. that, or any' other house would be like with the furnace off for a couple of hours. And it bothers us to think of old friends and neighbours on the various farms --at turkey - picking bees and how cold the pickers would be; of breaking ice on the creels and drawing water for stock; of having to go. to town for supplies and finding the car wouldn't start—and the nearest garage two or three miles away. And we remember other friends too °Vvho have a child in a hospital -school many miles away and they must make the long drive to get her all in one day so that she may spend the Christmas holidays with them. So it just seems impossible to sit back and be selfishly com- fortable when we know others have so many problems to con- tend with—many of which we know about from personal ex- perience in years gone by. But now would you like to know something of our pre-holi, day arrangements,which natur- ally go back quite a. few weeks. I was determined that somehow I would avoid as fa. as possible that hectic "so -much -to-do" sort of feeling. So, early in Decem- ber I made my Christmas pud- dings—five of them, plus a small extra for sampling. Then I. went to work on our Christmas cards and had most of them out of the , way by the end of the second week, including a number of letters. And do you know, for the first time in years I enjoyed the job. I had time to look over the cards and pick out the ones I thought most suitable for those to whom they were sent. Daugh- ter thought I was crazy sending them so soon' but I still think it was a good idea especially as I put our new address on mast of the cards. Not because I wanted to make sure of getting cards -back but to save those who wished to send the trouble of. • hunting or inquiring our exact whereabouts. Christmas decora- tions we left until a week before Christmas. We decided not to have a tree as we would be away on "the, Big,Day.""Instead we put a gay- wreath on the front door and decorated the big liv- ing -room .window, This we did by using evergreens, Christmas trimmings and lights.' For a table centre -piece I used a fairly large aluminum tray, spread withcot- ton•batting, sprinkled with small icicles, tiny coloured balls and fir cones. A bit of green here and there and a couple of rein- deer 'nibbling at the shrubbery, At one corner of the tiny I had a small Christmas tree in a red flowerpot trimmed with little coloured glass balls. It was really quite effective .and' being on a tray could be easily removed for table setting as it was too big for meal -time occasions. Even so, I was far from s.,' Bed with our decorations, They were pretty but a lot'or work and 100 much of a fire haxald. Etergreens: dry out so quickly. Next year, all being well, we have other, plans. This is the conclusion we have come to. The Christmas tree is a tradition, Children look for it and we do too. But as our grand- children mostly celebrate Christ- mas in their own homes we feel that all we now need is a sym- bol. So—no more evergreens in the house, dropping needles a week before and for two weeks afterwards, making a lot of un- necessary work. Next Christmas we'll have a Christmas tree out- side, set into one of the planters in the front ofthe house and trimmed with twinkley on -and - off lights. Indoors our decorations will be restricted to a gay .centre- piece and a display of Christmas cards , those lovely, lovely cards! The result, we hope, will be just as effective but.less tir- ing and far less hazardous. Or do.I just think that because an outside tree will be Partner's job?! ! An inside tree, except for putting it up, I look upon as my job; just as -we naturally di- vide our small chores in work- ing.for our grandchildren. I do the sewing and knitting but in December Partner spent hours and hours making a barn for. Dave and Eddie to put their "animals" in. There was a di- vision down the centre to avoid arguments and sliding doors on each side to let the animal's in and out. It was quite a barn. Put many were the exclamations I heard coming up from below stairs as Partner's stiff fingers worked with the tiny, headless, half-inch finishing nails! It was the firm's stag dance. The new cashier had chosen a very attractive partner. "By the way," he said, as they ' danced. "I'm glad our manager isn't here to -night He's about the biggest ass I know." "Young man," snapped his partner angrily, "da you know who I am?" "Not the faintest idea.' "Well, I'm the manager's wife," she said. "Do you know who I am?" asked the young man. "Thank goodness frog that," he replied', as he hurried away. Jiffy Towels `7 reavi.e.3t 9 64e t A pair of towel's is alIwa5rs; welcome gift Get out odds and ends of embroidery floss..
