"Dear Anne Hirst: After two
years I've just wakened up to
the wrong I have done. I ran
away from college with an old-
er man who promised marriage;
though 1 was engaged to some-
one else, I fell for it. He didn't
marry me. I was certainly the
world's greatest fool; I was so
infatuated that 1 stayed, and
even took a job to help him out.
He has been true, but though
he is so much older, I cannot
depend on him. He doesn't keep
a job, and when he drinks he
gets really violent.
"My parents were reallyy hurt
and scandalized, and so was my
former fiance. They have all
tried to persuade me to some
home and start a new life; but
I feel sorry for this man, and
I keep thinking how much he
needs me, Of course I don't
love hime any more.
"Wouldn't I feel like a deser-
ter if I leave him now?
SO UPSET"
WHAT LIES AHEAD?
* If a friend were in your
* shoes, wouldn't you remind

* most every turn. Wouldn't you
* suggest that she has a duty to
* her family to go straight, and

"Dear Anne Hirst: A boy of
18 who I met four months ago•
was raised in Europe. I'm 16.
I've been out with him three
times, and now he wants to date
regularly. But my sister dated
him and now she has spread
an untrue story about him, so
my parents insist he is not our
kind and have forbidden him to
come.
"Is this fair? Is it because lie
comes from poor people? Should
parents tell you whom to:: go
with? Shall I sneak out to meet
him? I'm home nearly every
night, and I listen to music that
makes me dream of him.
MARCIA"
• You are in a dangerous
* mood. Because your parents
• disapprove of the young man,
* rightly or wrongly, you ques-
* tion their right to an opinion.
* Certainly parents can say
* whom a young daughter date;
* who else can protect her from
* making the wrong friends?
• Don't think of sneaking out;
* deceit never pays off,' and it
* would cheapen you in his
• eyes,too. Accept your parents'
* dictum for the' present and
* play fair. Instead of mooning
* over sentimental music, date
* other friends your family ap-
*
proves. You will find life can
* still be fun.
:s * *
If you are finding the road
back a rough one to travel, ask
Anne Hirst's guidance along the
way. She can help restore your
confidence and your will to go
straight. Write her at Box 1, 123

SILLY STATISTICS
Have you ever thought about
paper clips and what they are
used for? A research instituted
by an American ' firm manufac-
turing paper clips revealed
that out of 100,000 only 28,000
were used for holding papers
together.
Of the remainder, 3,196 were
used as pipe cleaners, 5,534 were
used as ear probes, 5,308 as fin-.
gernail cleaners, 5,302 as tooth-
picks, 19,413 as poker chips, 406
ah olive stabbers, 14,163 as toys
to use while telephoning, 4,183
as shirt sleeve adjusters, 192 for
throwing at people, 7,200 to hold
the fronts of blouses together,
and the rest as hair clips or for •
making running repairs to pen-
cil sharpeners.
NO CHANCE -TAKER
"No two men in the world are
exactly alike."
"Well, I don't know," replied
the blonde. "I wouldn't risk
marrying again, anyhow."

Did you have any rain 1 ast
week? We certainly had plenty.
It rained and stormed inter-
mittently all day Thursday. And
if it wasn't raining it was so
dull you just 'wondered what
might be corning next. Late in
the afternoon I wanted to go
down to the postoffice but every
time I put on my hat and 'coat
crack . . . another storm ,
started up: And since I am a:
coward insofar as weather is
concerned• I decided to stay
home. Perhaps the slight earth
tremors felt in the Ottawa dist-
rict the day before were re-
sponsible for such .persistent wet
weather. It was pretty hard on
the farmers trying to harvest
their oat crops. Yesterday Part-
ner and I took a run aruond the
country and saw many fields
half cut that had taken quite
a beating. We even saw a field
of wheat being combined—so
badly down that only 'the weeds
were showing. Something •drastic .
must surely have held up the
work on. that farm for the wheat
harvest to be so late.
We were glad the weather
cleared Thursday night so we
were able to watch the wind-up
of the Republican Convention—
and to see and hear President
Eisenhower's speech. What a
wonderful reception he received,
and who could help liking the
man? But he got Partner quite
worried. Time after time he
raised his arms above his head
in acknowledging the cheers of
the crowd. We always thought
that to raise the arms above the
head was the last thing a person
with a heart condition should do.
Perhaps we are wrong. One
thing I noticed when he was
speaking, at every opportunity
he would glance across at his
wife and then smile his big,
broad smile, just as if he were
trying to reassure her by saying
—"Don't worry, my dear—I'M
all right!"
Of course, another excitement
last week was Marilyn Bell's suc-
cessful swim. I imagine fifty per
cent of her admirers were hop-
ing she wouldn't try again but
since she did naturally we all
hoped she would win. It wasn't
Actually the swim that mattered
so much—we just didn't want
to see our plucky young girl
defeated or hurt. You will notice
I said "our" — don't you think
that •is how almost everyone
feels in Ontario ... sort of pos-
sessive ... we all want to claim
that lovable young person as
OUR Marilyn Bell.
Nearer home our interest at
the moment is in the highways
—the old and the new. On the
old highway—No. 25—the Pro-
vincial police are having quite a
field day, passing out tickets to
speeding motorists. Partner was
cutting weeds along the fence
the other day and in a short
while he saw four motorists
given tickets. Another time I
saw three cars stopped by the
pollee. Maybe it is just as well
for the traffic is really fast along
this road. There is also a little
activity on the 401 survey. We
can see four men popping up
and down like jack -rabbits
across the field. We don't know
what they are doing as we had
an idea the survey was complet-
ed some weeks ago. One thing
is certain we shall not be told to
move off just yet as I noticed in
the morning paper that work is
only now starting from No. 27,
across to No. 10 and will likely
be completed in 1959! From No.
10 work will probably proceed
in this direction but as No. 10
is about twelve miles from here
obviously farmers in this district
can cool their heelsfor quite -
awhile yet.
Just before the yellow panel
truck came along today I could
see Mitchie-White away across
the field hunting mice. He evi-
uently didn't like being disturb-
ed and came home in a hurry.
1t was the first time he had
come to the house for about a
week. That cat is the greatest
hunter we ever had and because
he is all white we can see him
such a long way off.
Well, we sent another veal
calf to market last Monday, and
it fetched top price. Wonderful!
Then we got a new calf to take
its place so we still have only
a little milk to separate. That
reminds me — I picked up the
last cream cheque at the cream-
ery and it was over $21. It should
have been about $3.50. A mis-
take, of course, and yet 1 could
have cashed that cheque and
no one been any the wiser. But
what good would ill-gotten gain
have brought us?
Incidentally, we don't need
any super -markets in our town,
Our local merchants have pro-
vided their customers with plen-
ty of parking space so now we
can shop at home. Sure, we inay
spend a cent or two more !zero
and there but at least it is going
into the pockets of men who
make our town their home, pay
local taxes and take an interest
in social services, churches and
schools. What does anyone save
by going to outside shopping
centres anyway? It takes gas to
get there and if you have child-
ren along it is, doubtful if you
get away without spending a
dime or two giving the young- .
sters a ride on the big horse.
Ah -ha — I see another fellow
getting a ticket on the highway
. maybe he and his family are
just hurrying home from a
shopping centre!
Poems For Sale
In all this, Bogota is not
greatly different from other
South American markets. The
Indians of the Colombian pla-
teau are less colorful and dis-
tinctive than those of the Ecua-
dorian Andes; and in Colombia
one misses the disdainful llamas
which in Ecuador condescended
to act as beasts of burden.
But in Bogota, alone of all
the world, does one find poetry
sold side by side with poultry.
Little boys stroll about offer-
ing for a few pennies small
paperbound collections of what
they so prettily call poesias;
and cheaper still are verses
printed on single slips, printed
often in red.
In the markets of Bogota
there is an excellent sale for
poesias. Frequently the pur-
chaser cannot read, and the
small salesman must read aloud
from his collection that his cus-
tomer may make a choice. And
always a crowd gathers to
listen.
I follow these children, buy-
ing whenever possible dupli-
cates of the poems selected by
the barefoot . half-breeds of
r.Bogota's market.
A sweet-faced, gentle -eyed
chola woman is sitting on a box,
her black sha*1 slipped back
from her shiny dark head and
wrapped about the tiny baby in
her arms. She is looking over
an assortment of verses; hesi-
tating . . and finally select-
ing "Good -by to my mother,"
printers in red on a single strip.
A bare -legged girl in short
tattered garments considers - the
poems, • while at her feet a rab-
bit, • seated on the ground, is
making the neatest of toilets;
very scrupulous and leisurely
as though he had all eternity
before him... .
The girl considers There are
poems upon "Poverty," and
"Marriage among the Poor";
upon the eyes of a loved one;
upon the soldier who promises
that the morrow which is
never to be for him he will re-
turn to the window of his love;
and there are poems celebrat-
ing the devotion of parents and
children, . . .
But it is a poem inscribed
"To the Little Laundress" for
which the barefoot girl finally ,
exchanges her penny; to a
ISSUE 38 — 1956
"Lovely Little Laundress, with
eyes as fair as the sun, and a
soul as blue as the sides; Listen
to me, Little Laundress, aria
tell me why you are so happy
and why you sing -as you
scrub? . "—From "Colombia,
Land of iVlirecles," by Blair
Niles.

he was found quivering some
half a dozen coaches away
from the scene a minute later.
The 'aerial wire had touched the
