Dear Anne Hirst: We are de-
pending on you to tell us what
to do. The husband of one of
any dearest friends has been
running around four or five
months now, and a group of us
are wondering' whether we
should tell her, • or decide It is
none of our business. We feel
she can put a stop to it if she
doesn't wait too long.
The man holds an important
post in town and he couldn't
stand any scandal If his su-
periors discover this, he would
be dismissed, and his wife and
children would suffer. What do
you say?

* dares tell the man's wife of
* his dallying, do you think
* she would ever want to face
* you again? You would act in
* kindness, but wouldn't she
* wish you had been still?
* Perhaps she knows already
* and is meeting the situation
* in her own fashion. At any
* rate, she would be mortified to
* learn that the matter has be-
* come common gossip.

HE HAD HIS CHANCE
Dear Anne Hirst: The boy
I've been dating nearly six
months is a nice boy in every
way, and so far as I know he
has no bad habits. He is kind
and thoughtful, and very atten-
tive, but I just can't help think-
ing of a former boy I like so
much morel I went with, him
for two years, and he kept on
drinking although often he
promised he would stop. Now
he • has called me up again, and
of course my family won't. al-
low me to see him.
They admire the boy I'm go-
ing with, and of course I don't
vent to hurt him, but really I'd
h&y,e- much better times with
the one I used to know. What do
you think?
UNHAPPY
* You gave your former boy
* friend more chances to be-
* have himself than he de-
* served, and still he continued
* to drink as before. I am afraid
* if you see him again it would
* be the same story; you cer-
* tainly don't want to be dis-
* illusioned again, do you?
* For years and years I have
* warned young girls against
* dating any boy who drinks.
* Not only does it weaken the
* morals, but the girl gets her-
*
self talked about unpleasantly.
* And surely you don't want to
* appear so unpopular that you
* can only date a weak charac-
* ter? That doesn't recommend
* you to responsible young men
* who might become interested.
* It is smarter to stick to ,a
* boy you can trust to behave
* himself than to go with one
* who gives you a vicarious
* thrill now and then but whom
* you are ashamed of.

There is one advantage to r a
big farm house — if the west
side is cold you can generally
take refuge in the south side of
the housenow,. ThatA is what •1wam,
. oing •north-weixid
is blowing a regular gale 'mak-
ing
ing the 'front of the house as
cold as a barn. We can't get
more heat from the furnace
without leaving it unchecked,
and that we , are afraid to do.
Better be a little cold than take
a chance on .burning the house '
down. However, we have one
small room in a sunny south
corner that is as snug as can be
— and so, here I am, typewriter
and all. This makes the third
windy day we have had this
week — March winds with a
vengeance. Last Tuesday was the
first and on that day the De-
partment of Highways set up
some kind of road block just
outside our gate, stopping and
questioning the driver of ,every
south -bound vehicle. The men
were there from seven in the
morning to six at night. Pre-
sumably it was some kind of
traffic census. Such a day for
a job like that.
Wednesday Partner sent out
another load of scrap — the
metal remains of our seed -drill
and manure -spreader — with a
few extras thrown in. Bicycle
wheels for instance. It is years
since anyone around here rode
a bicycle but yet, there were the
old wheels still hanging from a
wooden peg. . I doubt if they
were of any use but as the years
go by you get so used to things
being around you don't even see
them. In a different sense that
was literally true for me. I
ani still indulging in a trash -
burning orgy, also stacking and
sorting the things I want to keep.
One time I looked around and
wondered what on earth I had
done with the Christmas tree
lights and trimmings. I hunted,
and I hunted - in cupboards
and boxes, in this room and that,
but I could not find either the
lights or the trimmings. So I
finally went on with my work.
Soon I had another carton of
stuff to burn. I . took it over to
the smouldering bonfire andon
the edge of the pile what should
I see but one little coloured elec-
tric bulb. My worst fears were
confirmed. In some unaccount-
able way I must have put the
tree trimmings on the fire. I
still can't think how it happened.
I eot a •scolding from Partner for
worrying about it. But after all,
it -is one thing to -burn useless
tuff but wants to destroy
once -a -year trimmings that have
also accumulated a certain
amount of sentiment with each
Christmas that came and passed.
There were all the little fig-
urines and bar blas that had dew
lighted aur children when they
we , tmall and that promised . to
be b ually attractive to our
ehil eee'S children. However, ,I
shoudn't 'worry -after
sift thee' youngsters who
$ their foolish par-
t? andparents.
Two days later. The weather
has •improved considerably no
more now, very little wind and
,plenty ' of .nice warm sunshine.
It would seem "all's right with
the world". That is if one does
not ;look ,,too, far afield, politi-
cally, economically and weather-
wise. •'We had a card yesterday
from friends vacationing in Flor-
ida. They said the weather was
cool ,but they were hoping it
would be warmer later on. But
since that . card was written we
have heard rumours of gales,
terrific fain and meteors in the
Florida.. region. So we • are nat-
' uralty wondering . . . Also in
the news last week was the Fed-
eral budget. It will please some
and make very little difference
to others. We shall benefit about
• twenty-five cents a month on
tea :and- coffee. That should be
a vote -catcher! We had a friend
staying overnight the evening
the !;budget was brought down.
She'liveson a farm a good many
miles north of here and she cer-
tainy didn't find anything to
cheer about. Of course a lot de-
pends on how you look at it. I
was ,thinking old -age pensioners
would be quite pleased but one
old lady said to me "I guess it's
all right but it's almost too late
for me. I won't have long to
enjoy ie"I suppose her re-
marks' ate understandable. She
is a widow, well over 80, her
earning capacity gone and yet
so independent she does every-
thing possible to exist, on her
pension. Somehow she does very
well except that every visit from
her doctor, and every bottle of
medicine from the drug store is
a major financial problem. Per-
haps when the Federal -Provin-
cial Health Plan comes into
being it will make things a little
eac: sr for pensioners. 1 sincerely
hope so.
But wage-earners have their
problems too — which may ul-
timately benefit the farmer. For
instance one young boy worked
on a farm for a year and then
decided he could make more
money in an industrial plant.
Now that same plant is laying
off men and the young fellow
in question went to' the farm
where he had previously worked
and asked for his job back again.
Another instance concerns two
brothers. One "'stayed on the
farm, the other quit, thinking he
could make $50 a day trucking.
He soon found himself in the red
and unwillingly admitted that
his brother on the farm made
more money than he did with
his truck.
This Water Grows
12 -inch Radishes
A well-known scientist and
traveller is to conduct fur-
ther experiments with water
from'the "Lake of Life," follow-
ing the amazing sequel to his
bathe recently in an inland
waterway.
The no -longer -young bather
spent an hour in the water and
emerged looking years younger
than when he entered it. His
inquiries already have produced
these startling facts.
To the extent of nearly thirty
per cent., the water is charged
with salts . having extremely
beneficial . medicinal properties
and it is also highly radioactive.
Although the Iocal people ap-
preciate its value, the outside
world does not seem to have
takenefull advantage of its bene-
fits.
Businessmen motor to its
shores for a dip after a heavy
day's work. Mothers • and nurses
take children there for a- health
dip. Many pale and anaemic
looking children have regain-
ed full robust health after only
a few days in the. district.
Canadian gardeners struggling:
.to raise • prize exhibits for
shows, would east envious eyes
upon the specimens.. grown with
the aid of the "wonder water."
Broad bean pod's' grow to a
length of two feet, and oranges
measure sixteen inches in girth
and weigh nearly two pounds.
Radish seeds planted one day
burst through the soil the next,
and the radishes grow to a foot
long,
,The waters are over a thou-
sand feet below Mediterranean
sea level, and the air there has
six per cent more oxygen than
anywhere else on earth.
Yet the world knows these
waters as the DEAD SEA!
