* So many fathers are really
.;r devoted to their daughters,
' but they are so jealous that
" they cannot bear the thought
* of her taking any man serious-
* ly. They want all her affec-
* tion, and often go to stupid
* extremes to hold it. The girl
* loves this lad, so he comes
* under the ban. Perhaps this
* feeling is responsible for her
father's decision.
* He must expect, though, that
* some clay she will marry; then
* he can be consoled by the
* knowledge that he has been a
* good father to her. But what
* will she think of him as a par-
* ent if he denies her now? If
* she is forced to meet the boy
* outside, or if the two should
* elope, how shocked her father
* will be! Yet it is he who will
* be to blame, Parents should

* and marriage. Your husband
* married the girl he loved; how
* can he justify snatching the
* same right from his daughter?
* If your husband is close to

Don't Fool Around
With Angry ees
Bees aren't only a source of
honey. They're the source of a
gooddeal of wasted time injury,
and even loss of life,
Last year at a farm on the
Kent -Sussex border they stop-
ped the use at a tractor for two
days. A swarm had settled be-
tween. the starting -handle and
the engine, and the driver was
afraid to disturb them.
Even one bee can cause a lot
of damage. One flew into the
driver's cabin of a trolley -bus
bound for Hammersmith, Lon-
don, and the bus crashed into
the parapet of the railway
bridge. Another of these insects
flew into the open mouth of an
Italian picnicker, stung his
throat, and killed him.
But a swarm that flies amock
can be real! terrifying. Y Y ng• Once

velling by rail to Balmoral the

driver saw that the signal ahead
was completely obscured. He
stopped the train and found that
the light was covered by bees.
Another swarm wrecked a
train and caused the bee -keeper
to be taken to a lunatic assylum.
A ,Hungarian was taking some
bees by rail to Budapest, They
escaped from the milk bottles in
which he was carrying them
and crawled up his trousers. He
shook these out of the window,
and they swathed themselves
round the neck of the ticket -

So badly stung was the ,bee-
keeper that someone pulled the

brakes burned out, and a three-

It is raster Sunday. All day
long there has been a strange
haziness in the air and we have
yet to hear the reason for it. It
cannot be fog for there is as
stiff breeze blowing. It can-
not be dust—not after all the
rain 'we had on Good Friday! It
could be smoke—but why, and
where does it come from? But
still, haze, smoke, or what have
we , it makes no difference—we
can still "Sing the joy of Easter
Day, the Easter triumph tell."
Easter is such a wonderful
season. Personally, I like it
better than Christmas. For one
thing it s not so blatantly com-
mercialized. And, 1 always feel
that in spite of the calendar, the
-, year begins with Easter. No
matter on what date It falls we
always think of events as being
before Easter or after Easter.
First thing this morning I step-
ped outside and to greet the day
I heard an oriole, a robin and.. a
bobolink. There were also two
double daffodils, near enough to
blooming for me to pick them
for the house. Ina sunny win-
dow and with their stems in
warm water they soon began to
Open up. Always at Easter we
seem to have the first spring
flowers, the song birds and the
reawakening of dormant grow-
th, and the beautiful Easter
music. The underlying Easter
message is full of promise and
hope — so different from the
everyday news items in this
fast-moving atomic age. And
yet I don't think the Easter
weekend is observed as much
in Canada as it is in England
where there are many a y customs
quite 'apart from the religious
observance.
In the Old Country Good Fri-
day starts with Hot Cross buns
for breakfast --"one a penny, two
a penny, hot cross buns." It is
also the traditional time for
planting potatoes. In small. gar-
dens in every district, providing
the weather is fine, the home
gardener will be hard at it with
his spuds and spade, On Easter
Sunday there would be morning
and evening attendance at church
and in the afternoon . a tramp
through the woods in search of
primroses and sweet -scented vi8-
lets. The womenfolk liked a new
hat and suit for Easter but 1
don't remember any actual dress
parade, Easter Monday was (and
I suppose still is) a bank and
business holiday and was given
over almost entirely to pleasure.
Following hard on the heels of
Lent and the solemnity of Good
Friday, Easter Monday had a
carefree atmosphere all its own,
different from any other holiday
during the year. And of course
there were plenty of family
gatherings.
But back to Ginger Farm. We
didn't have any visitors or call-
ers at all on Easter Sunday. Not
even our grandson. For a little
while it will be impossible for
Dee and Arthur to come out as
they have entirely new roomers
right through the house—which
means Daughter has been very
busy. But her main worry yester-
day when she phoned was that
one of the kittens had been maul-
ed by a big police dog. We did
have one nice wee fellow visit-
ing here on Good Friday, just
old enough for us to realize what
our David will be like a year
from now, Bob and Joy were
here also—and what a day it
was! However, after dinner noth-
ing would do but we must all
pay a visit to a big stone quarry
that has recently been opened
up a few miles from here. It is
the most up-to-date quarry in
all Ontario. Bob, of course, was
showing us around. Ot least he
was showing his Dad around —
it was pouring with rain so Joy
and I sat in the car most of the
time but even from there we
managed to see plenty of activity.
Bob drove us down to the pit
where a big power -shovel was
loading one truck after another
by dropping great loads of rock
from its maw. Filled to capacity,
the truck would drive off to
dump its load into a huge crush-
er set in a hole 45 feet deep
and 50 feet wide. The amazing
eel ,s ;about the . work at this
quarry is the fact that it is never
touched by human hands, The
rock is drilled by machine, blast-
ed by dynamite, loaded by sho-
vels or. to trucks, carried by
conveyor belt's to the various
screens and from there by more
conveyor belts to the stock piles,.
From there, by push-button con-
trol, it reaches the loading plat-
form en route to the purchaser.
Well,t is Easter Monday now.
The sun is still obscured by a
queer haze—butthe mystery has
been explained. It is dust, driven
by high winds from north Da-
kota, Now how did it get by the
Customs? Maybe someone will
think up the bright idea that
the dust may be radio -active,
What a world this is . for
about two years everyone was
worrying about Flying Saucers,
now the Saucer scare is practi-
cally forgotten and radio -activity
has taken its place, In the mean-
time the grim Reaper takes its
toll on the highways and, unless
we are personally concerned, we
accept it all as a matter of course
