In every other way, he is ideal, and through our five years of marriage our love has only deepened. He has lost two fine positions because of this weak- ness, yet, he argues that he gets so depressed without alcohol that he cannot bear it another hour. So he takes the first drink, admitting the usual consequ- ences are inevitable. "I left him three years ago, hoping he would straighten out. . . Neither of us could stand being apart, and since then we have tried to conquer it together. I suffer with him when these moods come on, and I would make any sacrifice that could dispel them. . , . Now I have tried everything I know, with almost no success. I can honest- ly say I have never reproached him afterward, I love him too much. "Perhaps in your long experi- ence you can find some hope for us both? I pray you to try.

Like so many other afflicted persons, perphaps your hus- band thinks he needs the re- laxation that alcohol tempor- arily supplies. I suggest that he get in touch with Alcoholics Anonymous, who have helped so many thousands of men and women overcome their seem- ing need for liquor. A love such as you and your husband are blest with is too rare to risk. With everything to live for, including a wife whose contentment is built around him, surely your hus- band will not allow such a marriage to be wrecked 'when there is help to be had! A man who cannot control his appe- tite for drink should never take the first sip. Those who have learned to resist it are living testimony that his can too, if he will co-operate. If he contends that he is the ex. ception, ask him to try for your sake. Faith in himself and his own moral strength is what he needs, and others who have found it know how to help him. Alcoholics Anonymous is non-sectarian, there are no fees involved; its only purpose is to aid anyone who needs aid and will do his part. Many who have sought help and found it, are now rescuing cthers trapped by the. habit. The group has grown from its inception in 1935 to a member- ship of over 200,000, in 7,000 groups in 70 countries. It has been accepted by churches, prisons, hospitals and many of the medical profession. Ask your doctor's opinion of the organization's work. I think I know what he will say. * LJ L 'DOES HE OWN ME?" "Dear Anne Hirst: For over three months I've been engaged to a young man I've known for a year. I though he was the mosgy] courteous and thoughtful person in the world, and he was--until we got engaged. "Now he thinks he owns me! He tells me what to say and how (and I'm not ignorant) and he has taen a dislike to my best girl friend. He almost forbids my seeing her. He isn't always as polite to me as he used to be.

If he does, you can understand why this lad follows his example; now that you are to be his wife, he is showing that is what marriage means to him. You do net intend marriage to be like that, and you had better tell him so. You are the same girl he admired before he proposed. You will be the same loyal friend to others, too, and you will expect him to treat them (and you) with his former courtesy. . . Other- wise, the engagement should be ended.

Evelyn, whose proclaimed goal was an interview with Mrs. Eisenhower, admitted the sole purpose of her "run away" from her Hollywood home was for publicity and to bolster her personal popularity. She was taken to the home of a family friend at nearby Chevy Chase, H a Pe A dull, dreary day--and back to standard time. That's fine except that animals have no way of knowing the clocks have been set. back. So what happens -- early Sunday morning Ditio was pawing at my face and Taffy was wandering all around the house wanting to go out. Partner stlil being dead to the world there was nothing for it but to leave my warm bed and attend to them. Once awake that extra hour seemed tool long to take so I split the difference and got breakfast halfway between a day or two we shall be quite well adjusted. Last week I was in the Milton district and made a number of calls, mostly on farm families, fairly close to Ginger Farm. Partner didn't come as he want- ed to get on with some garden work at home. Plenty to do and not too much time to do it in. You never know how soon win- ter will stretch forth its icy hand. Lt I found a number of changes in and around our old neigh- bourhood. On one farm the man of the family had put in a swim- ming pool. I mean a properly constructed swiming pool which I imagine cost plenty. It was the real McCoy. Shallow at one 'end for children and six feet deep in the middle. Cement paving stones all around the outside and enclosed by a chain-link fence. His wife said they really enjoyed last summer; never felt the heat at all and always slept well at night. Perhaps I should add this young fellow does not depend on 'farming for a liv- ing, for the reason that he sold about half his acreage some time ago. Another place I visited farm- ing activities are still very much the order of the day. Here I found the lady of the house had had the entire back of the house remodelled. Spacious, stream- lined kitchen with an adjoining utility room and enough cup- boards and gadgets to please the most fastidious housewife. Re- membering the old kitchen as it used to 'be I thought she had done a marvelous remodelling job. - At still another farm I found no outstanding improvements other than painting and .paper- ing but the old farm kitchen had a nicely "homey" look with its black-topped kitchen 'range. And of course there was a big old-fashioned tea-kettle on tha side of the stove ready to pull forward so visitors could be welcomed with a cup of tea. It awoke nostalgic memories of our own kitchen in. days.gone with mitts and oversocks dry- ing on the high top shelf and a kitchen where everyone came to get warm quickly. A few sticks of dry wood and the sfove-top would be red-hot in a few min- utes. Yes, there are attractions peculiar to each type of kitchen -- the old and the new. One other place I visited -- a poultry farm with an ultra- modern house, not quite finish« ed but liveable. It had every- thing, matching the best of any suburban homes I have scen -- but with more space in all the 'rooms. All this and a 'gorgeous , view from every window! The back looked out to a wonded section of the Hamilton Escarp- INGERFARM Gwendoline P. Clarke RON fast and slow time. I expect in - collection. ment; the front to limestone cliffs .of the same. With the autumn colouring at its best the scene was one of breath- taking beauty, marred' partially by a barn under construction between the house: and "The Mountain." It was 'a shame it had to be there however.I sup- pose it was unavoidable since raising chickens is the owner's: business. Right now he is not very happy about the price of chickens. How could he be when chickens, ready for the oven, were selling in the stores last week at 29¢ a 1b. What the far-' mers were paid for those same chickens I can't imagine--cer- tainly it wouldn't pay for the cost of raising them. I finished my round of visits by passing Ginger Farm and what I saw made me glad to come back to where we are living now. It won't be long before the cloverleaf at High- way 401 and 25 will be finished anf then the traffic going past Ginger Farm will be terrific-- and from the road. We loved the old farm but it has nothing to at- tract us now -- only a host of happy memories -- and that nothing can destroy. And now for quite a different subject. I attended a meeting at Clarkson at which the speaker was that well-known television personality, Charles Templeton, ~ His subject was "What is Wrong "With Our Schools?" He laid most of the blame to the number of poorly qualified teachers pre- sently employed -- a situation, he claimed, that is liable to come progressively worse d should have been foreseen ten years ago. Mr.. Templeton is a fluent speaker and kept rigid control of his. audience during the question period, allowing them exactly ten minutes to ask questions. That, I" thought, was somewhat dictatorfal. But per- haps he was afraid there might be a George Rowllands in the audience! Ancient Art Of Ink Rubbing "In China, making rubbings is like playing baseball or football in this country. The Chinese children do it for fun." The art of ink rubbing may -be child's play in China, but in the United States it is an eso- teric craft which has few skilled devotees. One of them is a tall, amiable scholar of 42 named Chang. Hsuan who plies his an- cient skills in a cluttered base- ment corner of New York's sprawling Metropo6litan Museum of Art. His odyssey has taken him from China, which he left when the Communists arrived in 1949, to Hong Kong, where he taught archeology at the univer- sity, and then to New York last March, where he now lives with his wife and five children -- all adept at ink rubbing. As Chang practiced his craft . last month against a tangled backdrop of subterranean utility pipes, the business looked sim. ple indeed. On the worktable 'before him was a stone relief from the museum's rich! Oriental Chang pressed a sheet of 'Chinese silk paper atinst the contours of the / the house only 125 feet- sculpture. Then he wet it with a special solution, When the paper was . dry. enough he dabbed it with a series of silk-covered cotton' balls charged with ink, repeating 'the process until he felt 'the rubbing was finished, Then, with infinite care, he re- moved the paper which held the: imprint 'of the relief, "A rubbing for an archeolo- gist," Chang remarked, holding up the finished work, "is the same thing as plans for an ar- chitect. It helps us study our finds. It is more exact than a photograph could ever be." Chang has been making rub- bings since he was 7, which uc- counts. for his easy. skill. What. he finds difficult these: days, . however, is tracking down the materials for his job, Though .he. brought some old sticks of dye with him that had been handed down: in his family 'for' genera- tions, he -has spent much time - scouring. Chinatown: shops; for good . quality. silk,. paper, and inks. . Chang is not only making. a record of the museum's collee- tion (he has made impressiors of 35 separate pieces), but he has helped' build up a lively little business for the Met. There was a time 'in China, he says, when rubbings were called "black tigers," dangerous ani- mals, because it was so difficu't to tell a good one. from a bad one; the prices ranged from 1 cent to $10,000, and buying them was 'a risky game. But mainly through the artistry of Ch'én Fu-chai, quality was standard- ized and the worst examples of rubbings vanished 'from the market. The ones at the Met sell for $2 to $45 and they are well worth it. --From NEWSWEEK. A bloke we know came out of a meeting recently looking parti- cularly dejected--when we ask- ed him why, he said, 'It was one of those meetings where you: couldn't hear yourself think for the noise of the flogging of dead horses.' Trying to follow in'the foot- steps of his late, flamboyant father, showman Michael Todd Jr. has found himself blazing a new and typically flamboyant trail: He has become entrepren- eur of Smell-O.Vision, a process for 'pumping odors into a movie theater to heighten the impact of the movie. Developed by Swiss inventor Hans Laube, Smell-O- Vision! caught the elder Todd's fancy as early as 1954, but it was left to Todd Jr. to carry it through, In the last year and a half, he has spent $2 million to produce a movie ("Scent of Mys- tery") especially written for aromatic effects . (examples: "a mystery woman Identified only by her perfume, a villain -who smokes an odoriferous pipe). He has also built. up the Dec. 22 premiére at Chicago's Cinestage theater as a ploneering, venture into the third dimension of sense. A few weeks ago, however, it appeared that pioneer Todd might be beaten by a nose. New York theater 'owner Walter Reade. Jr,, himself the son of a big name showman (who for- merly operated New York's Astor and Mayfair theaters), an- nounced at a scented press con- ference that he would premiére a smellodrama of his. own at the Mayfair on Dec. 2, Obviously rushing to beat Todd's premidre date, Reade's A-romaRama, Ine. laid 'out some $300,000 for the U.S. and. Canadian rights to 'an Italian - made travelogue: on China ("Behind the Great Wall") plus the rights to a U.S.-develop- ed process that could be used to dub - smells" into" the scenes. Among Reéade's best smells: The' scent of tea leaves (during:'a scene in a tea-house), of a tiger, . an explosion; and a clean; spark-! ling river. The - decision in this contest may. well hang on who has the best set of smells. Both will get their smells from varying mix- "a gost Sk SEA SHELLS -- Dolly Barrineau, listens to a sea shell on a Flor- Ida beach. theater through the air distribu- tion system, counting on quick tronic filter to kill each one off before the next-scheduled smell Todd will pipe his odors to each seat, which is more. expensive but also quicker and easier to control. Some Todd beak- busters: The scents of peaches, fresh-baked bread, salty oceam breezes, and an "overpowering smell' of port wine (to go with a scene in which a man is crush- ed to death by falling wine casks). hi 3 Both producers agree on ona thing.
