Zurich Herald, 1956-03-01, Page 6ANNE I4IRST "Dear Anne Hirst: I've been going steady with a boy who is away now at college, and 1 axe a bit disturbed. I haven't been out with anyone else since he left and he writes lie hasn't either, and I believe him. But all of my friends say I should wake up, that no 18 -year-old boy in college is going to be faithful to someone who isn't there. "I am 16, and I am contented the way things are. He is a good Christian (I hope I am) and we are very happy when we are together. Will you please give me your advice? A WEEKLY READER MISGUIDED FRIENDS? * It is a common practice am- * ong unattached young people * to envy others whose romance * is blooming; ;they cannot bear * anyone else to be happy and their jealousy sometimes in- * spires then to instill doubts, in * the hope they can break up * the friendship. Whether your * friends are so moved I can- * not say, but I urge you dis- * count their opinions and hold * on to your faith in the lad who * is away. * The important associations * in life are founded on mutual * faith; the business of the * world is conducted on belief * in the integrity of one's part- °' ner. Friendships that last a ' ' lifetime depend on the same * trust, the sure knowledge that * they will never let one down. * How much more, •then, should * two who hope to marry some * day believe with all their * hearts in each other! It is true * that either can change as one * matures and finds a more * satisfying companion, but how * many more cling faithfully to * their common vows and en- * joy their full reward. * This young man apparently * has been just as faithful as * you. Trust him as you always have, and close your ears to those who would arouie doubt * of his loyalty. Should he re- * gret his promise, you will * know; until then, don't insult * him by entertaining any fears. *< Remember that faith begets * faith, as doubt engenders * doubt. You are happy a s * things are, and so is he. • If the day should come • when you find your belief mis- * placed, you will have the corn- " fort of knowing that you "' kept your part of the bargain. * How dreadful it would be if * you listened to these so-called ▪ friends only to find you had * misjudged him!

ISSUE '6 -- 1956 a Hold on to your faith. Many * an absent sweetheart has re- • sisted temptation because he * knew his girl trusted him. * * A DESERTED WIFE "Dear Anne Hirst: I have separated from my husband be- cause he has been going out with another woman. I love him so much it would break my heart to lose him, and I am so fright- ened and confused I don't know where to turn. "We have a little girl, and ex- pect a baby in a few months. DO you think my husband will come back home? His family are so ashamed of him, and have tried to persuade him to return; he seems unmoved. Of course I have pleaded desperately with him, but he is cold to me. "Would you advise getting a divorce now, or waiting? MARIE" If you have any family near- by, talk this over with them; if not, discuss it with your, husband's people. They are. sympathetic and can be of comfort. Beyond this, there seems little you can do. In his present mood your lresband will pay no more at- tention to anything you say than he has to his family. But as the time nears for his sec- ond child to be born, he may come to his senses and realize • at lass- how much you need * him. If you can wait a little * longer to consider divorce, I * hope you will. You have my * deep sympathy. What boy is going to keep on loving a girl whose faith in him blows hot and cold? Trust the one you care for, and let him know it. Anne Hirst is here to help you get the most out of living.

A day that made you feel like settling down to work and getting a few "extras" done. "After all wno minds the cold?" 1 remarked. "No one — if they don't have to be out in it any more than you do," Partner replied. Well, I didn't argue the point except to say that although Partner is in and out most of the day he doesn't seem to mind the cold either. Anyway, it was such a lovely morning that, even though it was Saturday, 1 went ahead and got a two -week's washing done, My washdays. are controlled by the weather,' not the day of the week. I was certainly glad 1 got busy that time as, by mid-afternoon, the weather had changed again and we were almost freezing under the full force of a bitter north-east wind. Our sunroom, where I have nearly all my plants, dropped down to 32 de- grees and was getting colder, By 9 o'clock 1 was moving all the plants on to the dinning-toorn table. And what a lob 'that was. They are there yet as the wind, as 1 write, is still howling around the house, but fortun- ately it has veered slightly away from the eaoi. However, I guess our troubles are nothing to what they are experiencing in the Maritime provinces. It is almost fantastic tt, think of miles and miles of power lines brought down by freezing ram, If we get a touch of the same thing in Ontario think of the thousands of homes that would bo left without heat. Hydro power is a wondertul coriveni- ence — until it tails. It is then that homes with ar oil furnace and electric kitcher range get cold in a hurry, 1 often think we are inviting trouble when we depend so much or electricity for the comforts ano necessities of life. And more particularly when the wiring is old and in- adequate For instance one fam- ily I know of, moved into an old farm house a few years ago. They previously lived in the city so of course their country home had to be entirely re- modelled. Since then they have installed almost every electrical gadget on the market — from an electric frying pan to an automatic dishwasher. At Christmas time they had a num- ber of house guests, so, with all the appliances, extra cooking and many lights burning, they spent most of one evening blow- ing fuses and replacing them. IT'S SNOWING1—Pretty Nancy Garrison -gaily lifts her face to the snow as the fluffy flakes fall on Memphis was having its deepest snowfall—five inches and more falling—since 101/2 inches fell there on Jan. 19, 1948.

How they finally solved the problem I don't know. Increasing the number of ap- pliances without inspection of the wiring is like pouring into a pitcher that is already full — and a lot moles dangerotis, Old houses were never wised to take the load that is expected of them now. Dec and Art found that out to their sorrow after moving to another house last spring. They soon called in an electrician . to look over the situation. What he discovered in the way of faulty home - wiring was a crime Of course everything is all right now but it was naturally an unlooked for expense. Which reminds me - David went to hospital again last Thursday and canis home on Friday -- minus his tonsils and adenoids At first he seemed so well but now he is running a temperature. We hope it is only temporary and that this con- cludes his visits to the hospital for a little while Honey is hav- ing her turn too and is in the Dogs' .Hospital for observation and treatment for partly para- lyzed hindquarters I asked Daughter if money's .hospitali- zation came under the Blue Cross. You can imagine her answer. Well, we thought we had heard almost everything in the way of advice to farriers, but last week Professor D, 11. Campbell, head of the O.A.C. came out with something quite new. In brief he said there were too many farmers and those in low income groups should move to the city and seek more profitable jobs in in- dustry. As if young farmers need encouragement in that di- rection! Promising young fel- lows, showing every indication of becoming modern and pfo- gressive farmers, have already been lured away by industry's shorter hours and higher wages. As for hired .help a good man 4s hard to get. In fact this problem alone deters many farmers from operatingtheir farms to capacity — and in that way they help increase the number of ' low-income farmers. We have a great many ' industrial plants in this district and jobs are already being filled by men and. boys from nearby farms, A young lad, who has already quit farming for a factory work would undoubtedly ' listen to Professor Campbell's • remarks with glee. 1 can imagine him turning to his father with the remark — "There, Dad — you see I am on the right track. That chap says there are too many farmers. And he should know." A young fellow wouldn't stop to analyze the statement and sift out the quali- fying remarks: It is al] very confusing. A great hue and cry about farm land . being taken over by the St, Lawrence Seaway, Depart- ment of Highways, subdivisions and industrial plants — and then Professor Campbell says in a public statement there 'are too many farms. What are we to think? Lost Rings Something that sparkled in the gutter caught the eye of a Swedish teacher as he hurried home from school on a gloomy afternoon recently. He picked it up. It was a diamond ring. He took his find to the near- est police station. - "Well done," said the police chief. "Its worth about $3,000 and belongs to an Indian prin- cess who believes it fell from her finger somewhere. She treasures it so much that the police of half Europe have been looking for it." The princess, not knowing. where she had lost the ring during her travels across Eu- , rope, had asked Interpol - the International Police Organiza- tion — to help her find it; It is believed to have lain for two days in the guter unobserved. The, teacher has received a sub- stantial reward. Queer stbries of lost rings restored to their owners are constantly hitting the world's headlines. Mrs. Louie Hutchinson was reluctant to tell her husband when she lost hex' wedding ring on their small holding near Up - well, Norfolk. So she went out and bought another just like it. That was a quarter of a century ago, Now her secret is out. A short time ago her husband was dig- ging when he found the first ring— with an onion growing through it. A woman who for some time lay in a Wellington hospital with a broken leg sustained in a road accident said the other day: "I'm the luckiest woman in New Zealand." Why? Because at the time of the crash a diamond worth $1,-- 000 was lost from her engage- ment ring and police traffic in- spectors and relatives searched vainly for it. A fortnight later they returned and found it em- bedded in a tuft of grass. A budget is a method of cal- culating how much more you'll have to earn to break even. andINNINIMI 77Vi- tzr with Modern Fast -Acting DRY Yeast!
