THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1940 PAGE. FIVE ' = Mos. Dorice Nielsen Pleads For Free Speech in Democracy «+ Mrs. Dorise Nielsen, the only wo- 'man member in the Dominion par- llament today, visited Oshawa over the week-end and spoke before seve eral gatherings. Mrs. Nielsen is rather tall and thin, quite dark, with large glowing eyes and masses of »* black hair, worn coiled around her head. When speaking at the Bilt- more Theatre she was dressed in black, with touches of gold trim, and wearing a modish hat of black ' felt and coq feathers. When she spoke she held her audience spell- bound--she appeared to be a wo- man with a vital message to de- liver, and carried her listeners along with her in a masterful way. There are no frills about this woman--she feels the need of different groups of people desperately, and expresses these feelings with all her heart. Mrs. Nielsen's visit was sponsored by the local Youth. Council. She spent Sunday afternoon talking to the Ladies' Auxiliary of the United Automobile Workers' Association, and on Sunday night addressed a packed house at the Biltmore Theatre. As this followed a busy so- journ in Toronto, where she spoke to a-huge crowd in the Maple Leaf Gardens, Mrs. Nielsen had already been interviewed many times and spent as much time as possible rest- ing after her strenuous experience. However, managing to speak a very few words with her after her vigor- 'otis' speech' Sunday night, she was * asked about the "party" shé repre- sents and replied: "It is definitely not a political party--we farmers simply got together to make sure that the candidate then running for office didn't get in--we were sick of all the different parties, and simply organized ourselves, and I was nom= inated. We made up our own plat- form--composed of definite needs we had, such as a fair price for gralp, an adequate "state" medical plan, and other urgent require- ments. We wanted someone in par- liament who understood what we wanted, and would put up an honest struggle to provide our families with fair treatment and consideration--to show to the Easterners the problems of the Westerners -- and to bring back the views of the people in the East so that a better unity and un- derstanding would be achieved." Mrs. Nielsen believes that there is danger of the people losing many of the advantages that they have struggled so long to achieve--that in imposing restrictions because of the war-time conditions, it will be, as she put it "like having got up so high on a hill, then slipping down again--and of course you know thai it is five times as hard to get up again to where you were before." Mrs. Nielsen sald that the voice of the people, as expressed in free speech must never be lost, or else the true meaning of Democracy would have vanished. People must discuss their economic needs to keep Democracy a live and vital reality. {2 Parerit Problem CARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D. We read and hear much about the ecting problem with the child under three or four years of age. Little has been said or written by "parent educators about food prob- Jems of the child from six to twelve. Some mothers who have been eminently successful in training the appetite of the child lapse in their vigllence of the eat- ing habits of this same child after he. enters school. The average child with good. eating habits up to the age of entering school is, of course, likely to carry on with these good babits. An occasional one A however, acquire all sorts of eat- ing whims, on whose account he may fail to eat a number of foods very essential to his best growth and development. A Quart of Milk Dally Most children of this age do not get nearly "enough milk. Many drink none at all. Some parents Just-assume that these children do "hot need milk now and they do not "serve it to them. Since compara- gly few adults drink milk with ir meals, and since children yearn to grow up, milk is avoided by a good many because its being taken by them 'as food suggests to them infantilis. For similar rea- sons they avoid certain other foods which they hitherto had eaten regularly, upon observing certain adults eschewing them. Food experts tell us that we all .need at least a quart of milk a "day. Certainly children do until. they are grown up. It is a fact that the runabout on the farm where .akundance of good fresh milk and eggs is available, consumes less of » foods than do his city coun- ns. Surely for the family of the! farm, certainly for the city family, milk is the cheapest possible food. Cash for the Farmer ; But there is a bit of interesting psychology about the limited use of eggs and milk by farm families. For many farmers these are two products, however low in price, which bring in definite cash. The attention is on this cash income and not on the relatively higher cost of the substitutes purchased with it. Never was there a time when ample quantities of milk and eggs on the farm for children were more desirable. Particularly for the sake of the children, those many farmers who have abandoned poul- fry raising as an industry should restore it for home consumption. Chickens enough to provide the family with eggs cost little for keep~ ing while they save greatly on the. food budget. Returning to the eating habits of the runabout. Let learn to eat without question t is set before him. With the meal pre« pared for the entire family, he should know that he is expected to fall in line and be like the rest. He can learn easily to like strange foods, and foods once repellant to him, by eating very, very small portions of them every time they are a part of the family meal Learning now to adapt himself to all foods served, he will escape a good many inconveniences later and avoid considerable embarrass- ment and annoyance to others. Moreover, he will gain in character. To give your windows extra sparkle, put two tablespoons of kerosene in each gallon of water when you're washing them. If you like bacon dry and crum- bly, try this method of cooking it. Lay strips in a cold frying pan. Heat slowly and pour off the fat as soon 'as it collects. Turn fre- quently with a fork. The bacon is done when it has a dull appear- ance and is dry. -- 02 aN <7 cAI FTS IN ye /; sweet and exhilarat- i~7 as the early morning kath of frosty.fresh clover fields . , , this good old American scant is presented in a - ; DRUG "= § KING BY.

Then he fell in love with Grace Worthington, rich and socially prominent. Grace was willing to' defy her family and marry him if he would give up tennis. He did--partly because of his love for Grace, partly because of a badly injured ankle. He and Grace were mar- ried, Later Lis ankle improved so much that the doctors told him that he could play, and he gets a chance to join the Davis Cup team. He tries to persuade Grace to go to Europe with him. He took her hands in his, plead- ed, "Please come across with me, Gracle. Don't you see--can't you feel--that I needa you?" "Then you've decided definitely to go even if I don't?" "But you'll go, darling." "You're evading the question, Len. Will you go even if I don't?" His expression changed suddenly. "I'm the man of this family," he taid in a low tone, "not you. And you're going to do what I want or else. I'm going to Europe. And I'm going to play on the United States Davis Cup team. And you're going with me. Now let's cut out all the nonsense.' She asked, "What was the job Mr. Justin spoke to you about?" "Something about managing the sports department of a store in In- dianapolis. It will wait, of course, until we come back." "It would mean a promotion?" "Yes. But I'm not much inter- ested. I want to get into the other line--selling. More money in it." She moved out of his arms, star- ing at him dumbly, for she knew this was the end. * + She came toward him slowly, a bit hesitantly, to where he sat be= hind the wheel of Charlie Hughes' Ford roadster. He threw the side door oven and she climbed in next to him. He sald: "These past two weeks have seemed like two years. I've missed you, Grace." The car, free of the Worthington grounds headed toward the open ribbon of the smooth road. "You want to con- tinue like this?" "You are going then?" She kept watching the road. "Yes. But suppose I stayed home and took that job out West?" "I'd go with you if you still want- ed me." "Of course I'd want you. I fell in love with you the moment I saw | | you. I'll always be in love with you --no one else, Why isn't it possible for me to have you and still play?" "We've gone over all that be- fore; let's not talk about it." "When I come back, what then?" "It will all be over if you go." "Then," ne said, "this is the last time?" She di? not appear to hear him. He was only vaguely aware of the rapid motion. of the soft fanning wind. He was driving very fast, the accelerator pushed way down. But he did not realize it, There was a sign post with a caution to motor ists informing them that the road was under repair. But he never saw it. He was thinking: How silly! How close and yet how far away she is from me. A few feet only-- yet miles, miles ... The last time! Divorce--he could return to his old life--he could be rich too--fifty thousand dollars. He'd never have to work again. He could invest it and live modestly, happily on the income. Happily? Without Grace? The light car bumped, swerved, went on; his foot remained pressed to the accelerator, his hands hard on the wheel. Too late he saw the bend in the road and the man in dirty overalls waving a red flag. Another car came around the bend. He jammed on the brakes. A huge hole yawned ahead. It was close, too close. He cut the wheel sharply, foot still on brakes, then he heard the sharp intake of Grace's breath as the roadster careened crazily toward the side of the road. He was conscious of a short, fright ened scream at his side. And then nothing-- Overalled legs rose above and around him; something wet and salty was on his mouth. He put his hand to his face and drew it away covered with blood. One of the overalled figures kneeled down be- side him and began wiping his face anc head with a cool, wet cloth. "All right, buddy?" He nodded. He felt weak, shaken. He sat up, his eyes fastened on the laborer's lined face, looked around, then jumped to his feet, eyes wild. "Where's Grace?" "She's all right, buddy. Take it easy." He staggered, but regained his balance. There was a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach; the cut in his mouth burned and would not stop bleeding. "Where is she?" he demanded, his wild glance sweeping , over the group. "She's all right," the man re: peated. "That car that was coming around the bend when you--they took her down the road. But she's all right," 2% eb "Where'd they take her?" "Down the road. There's a pital," 'Len' glanced at the Ford lying in the ditch torn and crumpled, them at the men. § "Who'll take me?" His mouth hurt when he spoke. : One of them wearing khaki said: "Okay, I'll take you." LE At the hospital they would not let him see her. He was her hus- band? Surely if he was her hus band he would understand, = Mrs, Rollins needed immediate attention "I'll wait," he said. "Where's a phone? The nurse nodded toward a desk. "When you've finished," she said looking at his mouth, "yowd better have that cut stitched up." But he didn't hear her. He called wasthampton and reached Mrs, Worthington. In a few words he explained what had Happened. She didn't waste time condemning him, but cut off with a terse, "We'll be right out" * He waited ir. the hall. Of course, he wouldn't go to Europe now. To- morrow he'd get in touch with Jus- tin and -accept that Indiadapolis job. He and Grace would start life all over again--together. : ; No, he couldn't leave Grace hehe in this hospital and ever expect to find peace of mind again. Why, this was his test! Grace always had claimed he loved the game more than he loved her. He'd prove now how wrong she'd always been. Yes, this was his great opportunity--the crisis in their lives--and he would not fail her. He would never, never fail her! A tall, slight man wearing a white tunic approached. "You're the hus= band of the young lady who was just brought in here? Will you come this way, please." Len followed the doctor down a hall. "She's not--she's all right, isn't she?" he asked shakily. "She asked for you." Was the doctor's evasion delib- erate? Good Ged, if anything seri- ous had happened! They turned off the hall into a large room and then into a smaller one. There were three beds. Two of them were empty. Grace, cover- ed by a white sheet, lay upon the other, pale and wan, her head and one arm in bandages, She smiled weakly up at him as he entered. He crossed the small room rapidly and fell to his knees beside the bed. "Gracie darling, I'm sorry. So ter ribly, terribly sorry! How do you feel? Are you badly hurt? His voice was hoarse, a whisper; his wet eyes pleaded forgiveness.
