"Dear Anne Hirst: T 'am mar-
ried to a man who cannot forget
my past. I wasn't told the things
a girl should know, so when I
got engaged to a boy who was
going overseas I did things I
regret to this day. (He con-
vinced rise it was all right be-
cause we were planning to get
married.) ... When he got home
I found I didn't love him any
more, and we broke off.
"Before I married my hus-
band a year ago, I told him all
this. He declared it didn't mat-
ter, but now every time he
thinks of it he gets mad and
calls me ugly names. Always
he is sorry afterward, but at the
time it breaks my heart. He
has even spoken of divorce in
some of his rages — then tells
me to forget it.
"I atm sure he loves me; in
every other way he treats me
wonderfully. He shows me off
like he was proud of me. Also, I
get along well with his people.
"If only he would trust me
again! I have done everything
a good wife is expected to, but
still he can't seem to forget what
happened. What can I do? I be-
lieve my happiness depends on
your answer.

confess what happened before
he knew you, but you were
too honest to withhold it. Yet
now, after you trusted him
with your secret, he,4iings it
in your face as though you
were still a guilty woman.
This is hard to take.
The next time he loses self-
control, tell him you refuse to
listen and if he persists in it,
you will have to leave him,
Then put on your things and
walk out. By the time you
come back he will be over the
worst of his tantrum and, ,I
expect, ashamed.
You don't want a divorce,
of course; your husband loves
you and you love him. I do
not think you will ever have
to snake your threat good.
On his part, try to realize
that having known your love,
he regards as an insult to his
ego, the fact that another man
once possessed you, He can-
not control his fury, and pun-
ishing you is his only relief.
It is unfair and cowardly, but
his, marriage is still new and
he cannot help himselt.
As time passes he will over-
come this wretched habit. Be-
lieve that, and relax. But
meanwhile don't submit to his
outbursts.
LIFE AT THIRTEEN
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am over
13 and very unhappy and con-
fused. My family don't treat me
right. Mother and Dad are par-
tial to my sisters and brother,
and all they do is fuss at me
all the time; they never say a
harsh word to the others.
"I am very nervous, that's
why I make so many mistakes.
But I don't know half the time
what I should say or do, so
everything is all wrong Do you
think you can help me?
LONELY"
* I wouldn't be at all sur-
* prised if your sisters and
* brother felt just as you do
* when they were your age.
* Now they understand their
* parents' attitude better be-
* cause they are more mature.
* They co-operate with them
* and with each other, and so
* do not require the guidance
* nor deserve the reprimands
* which depress you so.
* Try not to resent this train-
* ing that annoys you. A girl
* can be pretty trying at 13, and
* your parents take so much
* trouble with you because they
* care so much and want to be
* proud of you. You will under-
* stand all this better as you
* grow.
* Perhaps you need to have
* your health checked. Ask your
* mother what she thinks about
• that> You are apt to be moody
* and hard to get along with
* just now, and that is natural
* too. Don't exaggerate every
* reproof; try to understand its
* meaning and not make the
* same mistake again. Brooding
* over yesterday's troubles
* doesn't get us anywhere. Live
* one day at a time, learn to
* control your temper, and
* know - .that these growing
* pains ill disappear pretty
* soon,

Canada's pioneer era was
noted for its rugged individual-
ists and noneeexceeded Colonel
Thomas Talbot in achievement
and eccentricity. A founder of,
Upper Canada, he became al-
most a legendary figure in his
lifetime, esteemed by few and
execrated by many. A cadet of
one of the most ancient Anglo-
Irish baronial families, the Tal-
bots of Malahide, he renounced
a. promising army career for. the
life of a pioneer and backwoods-
man in what is now Southwest-
ern Ontario. He found the an-
cient country of the Neutral In-
dians a wilderness. When he.
died, a half -century later,_ he' had
changed this vast stretch of
swamp and forested' land into
prosperous settlements with
comfortable homes and 'thriving
villages, all linked• together with.
goodroads.
Dr. Fred Coyne Hamil pens
a fascinating portrait and only
modern complete biography of
this patriarch of Southwestern
Ontario leading his people out
of the wilderness into a prom-
ised land of plenty, His avowed
ambition to hew .out a baronial
estate from a *generous land
grant was further -stimulated by•
j
his appointment " as government •I
agent to locate settlers on Crown
"waste lands" and superintend
their . performance of settlement
duties. He quickly took advan-
tage of this extension of author-
ity and, at one time, his rule
from Long Point, on Lake Erie,
to the Detroit River, a distance
of 150 miles, was as despotic as
that of his feudal ancestors.
An aristocrat by birth and
tradition, he was an autocrat by
• nature. The surname Talbot was
derived from an ancient, if ex-
tinct, breed of bloodhound, and
the colonel was keen to scent
rebellious tendencies. Moreover,
he had a temper as red as the
lion "rampant gules" on his
coat -of -arms and the courage
bequeathed him by six centur-
ies of warrior ancestors. With
an administrator of such a back-
ground almost anything might
happen—and almost everything
did happen.
The author is to be congratul-
ated upon his skilled selection
of material, which presents a
vivid portrait of the Colonel in
his various moods and activi-
ties. Implusive and aggressive,
he fancied himself a "benevo-
lent despot who was the father
of his people and his settle-
ment"; and he acted this pater-
nal role with faultless exacti-
tude. Settlers who worked hard
and fulfilled their duties had
little to fear; but the slothful
and land speculators felt the
flail of his wrath.
His grants of land were as
arbitrary as his rule. The settler
ha dhis name pencilled on the
record of his lot. If he dealt
faithfully by the requirements
he eventually received the deed;
if he failed to meet his obliga-
tions, his name was rubbed out
and a new one inserted, Not in-
frequently the Colonel erased
a half-dozen names fr,r.e a spe.
cific lot before a settler was
found to meet his rigid require-
ments. This policy of grant and
erasure was frowned upon by
the Government and the Colonel
was more than once forced to
Visit England to plead his case.
Dr. Fred Coyne Hamil, an as-
sociate professor of history at
Wayne. University, Detroit, has
written a magnificent biography.

CHRONICLES
1NGERJ.ARM
Gewadol.tne •P Cte r1oe
This is Sunday — and a wet,
dull Sunday if ever there was
one. We notice it more, I sup-
pose, after the warm, sunny
weather we have been enjoying
just lately. Gardens around
here are still bright with colour
— " geraniums, petunias, asters
and chrysanthemums, and even
nasturtiums, as we have not yet
had even one killing frost. The
weather thas been grand for all
the geranium slips I planted
about three weeks ago. They
are still outside in their pots,
doing far better in the rain
than they would in the house.
While I was at it I repotted two
big ferns and a begonia and
started a philodendron from
the parent plant. Visitors came
along last week and took away
over a dozen geranium slips and
yesterday I pulled up three big
plants for a friend so she could
take off as many slips as she
liked.
In the house I have been hav-
ing a wonderful time . .. "red -
ding up", no less ... and keep-
ing Partner busy burning all the
stuff I have .been ;throwing out.
And it really took courage be-
cause I hate to throw things
away. However, I was determin
ed that this time I would really
make a clearance. Magazines
and papers were tied up ready
for the next paper drive — and
tied up without being looked
over first! That's the part that
takes courage. Start sorting them
out, and you're lost. You know
how it goes ... better save this
magazine, there's a good article
here on making 'use of your
spare time! Well, that certainly
can be thrown out .. what we
really want to know is how to
find spare time. So ... it didn't
take long to get the magazines
together. once I had decided not
to look through them.
Then I attacked cdds and
ends of woollen and cotton goods
left over from dresses, drapes
and pyjamas. Small usable
pieces went into one box for
quilt tops; big pieces for rugs.
The best part of old sheets was
reserved for pillow covers; the
rest for clusters and floorcloths.
There' got into my writing ma-
terial . . . carbon copies of sto-
ries and articles written years
ago. Some of them rejects, some
published and forgotten. In fact
I found enough scribbling paper
to last me the rest of my life.
Discarded wearing apparel was
another problem. By the time
things are not fit for us 'to wear
they are not much good for any-
thing else either. So . . . off
with the buttons; rip up the
seams, cut off the collars and
cuffs . . . presto -- more con-
tributions for braided rugs. The
same with old drapes — faded
but lots of wear in them yet.
Mixed with brighter strips faded
goods never show up in a rug.
Then I got into a cupboard
where Bob's treasures are hid -

den. 1 brought them into the
light of day. Later, Bob was here
so I took him upstairs. "Look,
this stuff of yours — what can
1 throw out? Most of it army
relics - duffel bag, canvas belts,
service berets, radio earphones,
water -bottle and, canteen --
what's
what's the good of it al]?"
Alas I came up against a
brickwall. "Throw them out ..
what for? Put everything to-
gether in one box and forget
about it. Those canvas belts
might come in darn handy some
day. And I might want this .. .
and this . and this!"
"Well, why don't you take the
stuff ' home with you?"
"Heck, you've got more stor-
age room here than we have."
So that's that. The things must
be kept but it is I who am
stuck with them—plus a whole
pile of`aircraft magazines.
Partner, also, has been bitten
with the "redding up" bug. He
has been spending his evenings
the last two weeks making a
braided doormat from baling
twine. And I'm telling you, it's
quite. a mat.

IT MAY BE

If life's not worth living
it may be your liver!
It's a fact! It takes up to two pinta of liver
bile a day to keep your digestive tract in top
shape! If your ):ver bile is not flowing freely
your food may not digest... gas bloats up

all the fun and sparkle go out of life. That's
when you need mild gentle Carter's Little

stimulate the flow of liver bile. Soon your

yards of baling twine that hail
been burnt or is still hanging up
in scores of barns across the
country. Some of it tnay have
been made into halter ropes or
into mats as Partner has been
doing — but I expect most of it
is being wasted because no one
has time to deal with it. If you
just stop to think it is almost
criminal the amount of stuff
that is being wasted year in
and year out. In towns garbage
collectors are paid to take away
stuff that there should be a
use for — cans, bottles, waste
paper and so on. And then more
money is spent on incinerators
to get rid . of the accumulated
waste from thousands of homes
where there isn't so much as e
kitchen stove to burn a paper
bag. And with everything wrap-
ped and double -wrapped these
days, waste paper, in some
homes, becomes quite a problem.
Unavoidably, we do our share
of wasting too, but not with
paper. All afternoon we have
had a lovely fire burning in tite
living -room, using no other fuel
than tightly rolled newspapers.
Paper logs, I call them.
