EEE EE] GROWING PAINS Your moors are the moods of a girl maturing, For many teen- agers, it is a painful experience, everyone's hand seems against us. Everything we do or say is misconstrued. We feel we simply cannot stand it for another day. But life is a God-given gift. We have no right to take our own, Neither can we run away from life, for that means runn- ing away from ourselves, and ourself is always with us. For a long while, you have been confused and rebellious. In another year (perhaps sooner) you will feel differently toward your father and mother, and then you'll wonder how they put up with you as you are today. 1f your feeling that they dis- like you is so strong, why don't you decide you'll make them so proud of you that they cannot help but treat you as you think you deserve? First, to the head of your class. Dis- tinguish yourself in at least one subject, Win the friendship of your teacher and your classmates. As- you get to know the other pupils better, you will find that those girls have known their trying days, too. And nothing is so hard to bear when we find out . that others have borne it and survived. Of your own accord, take on a few household duties after school and during week ends. Do them as well as you can and try to improve each day. Your mother will be touched by your co- operation, and begin to see you with new éyes. Never doubt that she and your father love you--else why should they go to so much trouble fo keep you at home? For the past few years, you have brought them nothing but worry and fear, yet they have not lessened their concern over you. Each member of a family has the responsibility of contributing to the welfare and happiness" of the home. You are no exeception. As you begin thinking of others rather than yourself, you will find living there more and more enjoyable, Don't get discourag- ed. Better days are right around the corner! Why don't you confide your feelings to your favorite teacher? Knowing you as I cannot, 'she may have helpful and more per- tinent ideas. As for the story about your parents, forget it. Even if it is true, they can only love you more, for being the reason they founded a home together for you to grow up in. Do your part to keep" that home life casier for those who share it with you. + + * The rebellious teens are difficult for most girls, and trying for their parents, If they confuse you, tell Anne Hirst about it.

"HRONICLES 7GINGER FARM Gwendoline 5 Clarke Cold weather is: with us again-- and yet it doesn't feel as if winter ~~ has returned--although it is colder than many days we had during the middle of winter. The country has a different appearance . . . now the brown fields and bare trees have a "waiting" look. Per- haps the longer hours of daylight make a difference; 'Whatever the reason, in spite of the cold, it doesn't feel like winter but rather a dreary day in early spring--with bitter cold winds. A few days ago I was ip Toronto. The lake was more beautiful than I had ever seen.it. A wild sort of beauty as the wind whipped 'the greenish waters into rough, tum- bling waves, breaking as they hit the seawall, sending white foaming spray five or six feet into the air, The lake was not rough to the same extent as [I remember rough seas on the east coast of England but it was rough enough to recall pleasant memories of those Hy-gone "days when [ would stand watching the breakers with a fascination that is hard to explain. An angry sca is always a challenge. Once I at- tempted swimming -- alone --in a rough sea. Swim? I couldn't even stand. The angry waves picked me up and threw me against the jag- ged rocks. By some miracle I scrambled ashore, breathless, bruis- ed and beaten. It was the one and only time 1 challenged a stormy sea. : bY As we passed along the lake front the other day a little old lady sitting next to me in the bus, was recalling Toronto as she first remembered it. There was only one road then along-the waterfront, she said, and of course, it wasn't paved. She showed me where farm barns had stood on the greensward just below Sunnyside. She remember- ed, when the lake was high, how the waters flooded the road and even got into the barns. She men- tioned Lorne Park as being a little "village and how often she had gone out, day -after day,' picking wild berries in the surrounding fields I wonder how many berries could be found in Lorne Park during the summer in this day and age? So many changes in one person's life- time . . . onc wonders what changes will take place during the next two generations, Dear knows there are changes enough already, cven in the coun- try. You hardly get time to know your ncighbours these days before they are on the move again. Our home is becoming a haven for house plants bequeathed to us by departing friends, The first was a huge Christmas cactus that I kept for ycars--until one wirter it got frozen. That was before we had a furnace. Then thete was a lovely Boston fern--it lived until mealy bugs killed it. The next plant was from a neighbour who moved to Montreal. I don't know the name of the fern--it has long, trailing fronds with needles that drop and make an awful mess, Its growth is almost as fast as the proverbial beanstalk. But 1 like it.as it"is so very green and needs little atten- tion. Last Iriday, from still an- other friend who is leaving the dis- trict, 1 reccived a large size Christ- mas cactus---so once again 1 Have a cactus. : Generally 1 inherit these plants because they are too big to be moved: or because there will be no oor for them in the family's new hopig. We have and we FTeem to "stay definitely. When we came to this farm 28 years ago, we were "the new people." Now we are more or less old-timers, most of the farms ' put" but thie room--- around us having changed owners several times in that 28 years. This has given us an opportunity. to ob- serve many things particularly how farms can be completely changed under new ownership -- sometimes for the good, and some- times very much the.opposite, de- pending on the experience and fi- nancial status of the owners. g Actually, it is very interesting to stay put and watch "the passing show" as it applies to the country. Interesting, yes, but alas, too often it is also heartbreaking. Many folk start out with high hopes, great ambition, but so often with little actual knowledge of practical farni- ing. The result is a foregone con- clusion -- the over-confident seem only to léarn by experience. Yet the old adage is as true now as it ever was--"a wise man learns from the experience of others; a fool from his own." And yet, how many of us prefer the hard way every time, With those. just start-~ ing out in life it seems almost in- evitable. But with older folk , . . well, you can draw your own con- clusions . : . which will probably de very much the same as our own. Baboons' Tails-- Two Shillings Each Two shillings a tail is being of- fered by Divisional Commissioners . in Gambia in an attempt to wipe out hordes of baboons that are infesting African farms and doing great damage. The baboon popula- ation of Gambia has risen to the_ record figure of 50,000, and it is estimated that each baboon is likely to do about five shillings' of damage a month throughout 1952 if his depredations go uncheck- "ed. Many hundreds of baboon tails have already been received, and natives are organizing drives against the beasts. Baboon hunters have abandoned firearms when surround- ing a troop of baboons and have. attacked them effectively with hat- chets, axes and clubs. - Sometimes dogs are used, but they are no match for baboons that "can fight with hands and feet and have fangs two inches long. Baboons are almost human. During the war in what was Ger- man East Africa airmen attached to a naval air squadron had a tame baboon as a mascot, It was par- ticularly fond of one pilot and used to sit on the bonnet of a car wait- ing for him while he was away bombing the Germans. One morning she was waiting as usual, and suddenly gave signs of alarm, barking strangely. The other airmen -knew something was amiss. It was found that the miss- ing pilot had had to make a forced landing on German terrritory, Pat- rols went out and brought the in- jured man back to the camp, where the baboon greeted him by licking his face and jumping round with excitement. It could be said that she had saved the airman's life. Baboons have been known to sham dead when cornered. One who did so in the Graaf Reinet - district of Cape Colony, after be- ing struck on the head with a club, rose suddenly and wrestled with a farmer and forced" hint to the ground on his back. The man managed to grasp a large stone, with which he killed the baboon. But to this day he Bears the marks of its fangs on his neck. - "1 find your complaint difficult to diagnose; 1 think it must be drink." "In that case I'll go to a doctor who doesn't."

Selection: Herein is my Father Glorified, that Ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.. John 15:8. The fellowship of Christians is the largest and yet the most in- timate and; blessed fellowship in all the world. Two Christians of different language and skin-colour meet. Their 'common sharing of Christ make them one. They are simply two branches from the same vine Jesus Christ, His life has come to them, In:whatever points they differ, they are alike in life's essential. They have Christ, Abid- ing in Him and He in them, they can ask what they will and it shall be done. This is a stupendous pro- mise, but since their will is subject- ed to God's will, they will only ask the best, Christians are lights in the world, disseminating peace and harmony. When they disagree, they do so without resentment or malice. Christians are not war- mongers. They are peacemakers. Paul had many Christian friends throughout the world, men and women, Many had aided him in his suffering. He loved them.

This man 'whose teaching methods have enabled sixty million people to learn to read 'and who has travelled in 76 countries says these people are coming up, despite all obstacles, They will love the people who help them, Communism is promising much. Christianity must give her technicians and agri- culturalists to help these people. Here is the challenge. "Wake up or blow up." Bat Batty ; Many Southern states consider the bat a very valuable mammal. In fact, in some of these states it is unlawful to kill or injure bats. The reason for this is that they eat half their weight in insects each night.' Bats, if you have forgotten, are the only creatures in the mam- mal classification that are equipped to fly. There are more than 260 species -and subspecies of these animals in North America alone.
