Zurich Herald, 1955-06-02, Page 8"Dear Anne chest: My hus-
band's family have caused the
only trouble we have ever had.
They were never nice to me, be-
cause I married their 'meal
ticket.' The .first five years, I
kept my Job to help buy our
home; now we have a nice one,
a lovely baby and a new car.
Even now I buy his mother gifts,
and, of course, 1 take our baby
to visit them.
"They are so rude to me! Yet
my husband will not go to see
them unless I go along. It is
affecting my health, 1 can't sleep,
and I lie there hearing all over
again the horrid things they've
said, My 1i.tsband has never
mentioned this ro them, he just
tells me he hope they will stop
and to forget it. Twice I have

Although still in the experimental stage, a new -type wheel
chair promises to make life easier for cripples and increase
their self-reliance. Retractable steel legs will boost the chair
over curbs, previously an insurmountable wall blocking the
chairborne from the pleasures of a solo shopping tour or a
trip to the movies. The experimental model vaults curbs by
means of cylinders and cables which operate four lags, one
for each wheel. The patient ned apply no mare than 10
pounds of force.

"Dear Anne Furst: .I am,,7ot

a few weeks I was supposed:lto
take my boy friend to a dance
and he knew it. rnatead, another
girl invited him, and he accepted!
"The other day I heard that
I don't appeal to him any more,
and that ' he took me out only
because he didn't have any
other girl. He wants to be a
'free man.' Wt:at can I dd to
get him back? And shall I ask
another boy td ti.e dance?
UNSIGNED
* One of the tir t facts a young
* girl must accept is the for-
* lorn truth that she cannot a-
* peal to every . boy she meets.
* As the years pass she learns
* to shrug orf the bad news and
* look elsewhere for dates, which
* is what you should do now. I.-
* * understand how you were hurt .'
* by this boy's act, but you;
* must not tet it get you down
* You thought he liked you.
-- and how could you know he
* had no other girl? Boys must
* start their dating somewhere,
" and you made tee common mis-
* take of thinkit•g you really ap-
' pealed to him. His wanting to
* be a "free mar." indicates- that
* you were too possessive, and
* he resented it. In these early
* teens you must understand
* how foolish it is to pin all
.* your hopes of cne lad you

At this moment I am. sitting
at the front door, one eye on my
writing pad, the other watching
the cars go by. And such cars!
Two -toned jobs of scarlet and
white, pink and blue, green and
grey and all kinds in plain
colours from dark blue to cream
and the palest of pinks and
greens. Even ten years ago a
driver would have. been em-
barrassed to be seen with such
a conspicuous machine. Most of
the passing cars are apparently
the very latest . models and I
doubt if many of them are
'staying withinthe fifty mile
limit, This little •stretch of High-
way 25 is busy enough I
wonder what 401 will be like --
if and when it comes. I also
wonder whether it is waste of
time for the Department of
Highways to. paint solid white
"no passing" lines on the road.
There is a curve just below our
farm -- no passing, of course --•
but I can hardly look out with-
out seeing one car passing an-
other on the S-bend. A little
farther down
•the road the
thirty -mile speed limit begins
and when I go to town I get a
great kick out of dropping down
to the required 30 m.p.h. and
then from my rear mirror watch
the fast moving cars behind me

lieieause 30 m.p.h. it fast enough
on a busy narrow highway, a
highway which is also the ap-
proach to our main street in
the county town, and upon
which the speed of the traffic
is measured by radar controls.
The country is beginning to
look very lovely -= greening
fields, and wild shrubs coming
into bloom. Daffodils and nar-
cissi in the garden and grass
that needs its first shearing. On
higher ground, just north- of
here, I noticed two days ago that
farmers had started seeding, It
is good to see the seed drills
out in the field again; to know
the cycle of production is once
mare in motion. — that in spite
of dire predictions and drastic.
weather disturbances 'the • age-
old promise still holds good —
"seed -time and harvest shall
never fail".
We hated to see Dee, Art,
Dave and Honey depart for the
city this evening, leaving all
this loveliness behind, the beau-
ty and freshness that is found
only in the country. They had
been here since Friday night.
They had stopped at Oakville

and his belongings from Joy
who had been looking after
Dave while Daughter was in the
hospital. After they got here
Dave behaved like a little lamb
Friday night and most of Satur-
day but on Sunday he was any-
thing
ny-thing but! One time when he
was particularly obstreperous,
Daughter remarked "Well •
Grandma, this is what you have
been waiting for for so . many.
yeet.rs. How do you like it?" No
commontl 1 suppose the poor
r,es rr tt a w 1955
little fellow, finding the usual
routine of his days suddenly
upset, was just giving expression
to his resentment in the only
way he knew. Strange, when
you think of it, that one little
bit of humanity, has the power
to disrupt a whole household -
especially when he gets too
much attention. From that you
may gather our grandson is far
from being perfect . . . just a
little peace -destroying rascal at
tunes, like the rest of normal
children, But at such a time I
remember with regret that years
ago I used to say I didn't like
children that were too good —
they appeared to lack charcter.
I suppose by this time some
farmers will have their cows
out on grass. On farms where
there is a shortage of hay and
oats farmers are glad to turn
their cattle out as soon as pos-
sible. Ours are still in the barn
but we- are looking forward to
the time when they can be
turned out. And 1 am sure . the
cows are anticipating that day
with great longing. Just imagine
what it must be like to be a
cow ... to be tied up . in a stall
for six months on end, or to be
confined to a loafing barn. To
be fed dry hay and dry meal,
with salt and maybe molosses
and ensilage as an appetiser.
No wonder cows kick up their
heels, race and chase each other
the first time they find them-
selves in wide open spaces with
only strands of wire to fence
them in. Obviously they are de-
lirious with joy. And yet cows
out on pasture remind me . of
women at a bargain sale. The
cows see luscious green grass
all around them. So what hap-
pens? Instead of cleaning up on
one place they wander all over
the field tramping down more
good feed than they eat. And
at a bargain sale ... very often
women .don't know what they
want. This dress . . . that set of
towels — they look like a bar-
gain. But there may be better
ones at the next counter — let's
move on. Now isn't that a ter-
ribly uncomplimentary simile?
But you know, being a woman,
I know it's true.
Right now I am hoping vari-
ous organizations ate finding
bargains in new officers. Women
who have been in office for
years deserve praise for their
loyalty and . service. But a
change of officers is often a good
thing. New officers may not be
as efficient but by requiring
more help, other members, must,
of necessity, become more active,
And that is all to the good.
