Practice with him on spell- ing one-syllable words phonetically as--ball, fall; stone, bone; meat, seat. Help him see that many other words are not spelled in this way-- any, onion, busy; that we learn to spell such a word by looking carefully at it, pronouncing it, say- ing the letters in their proper order, and doing this over and over till the right spelling is re- membered. . IMPORTANT DISCOVERY You can lead him to see that it is_better to work on one word long enough to master its spelling per- fectly, than to try many words and get some of them wrong.

I keep turning the difficulty over in mind Crossfire of Antagonism Constitutes a Family Problem Dear Mary Haworth: My husband is constantly nagging me about my mother. He has said she is trying to interfere in our Mves and that she wants me back. She is a widow, divorced from my father for quite a long while, and she has invested all her love in her two children. John and my mother had a mis- understanding some time back, and ever since then each has said some pretty bitter things to me about the other. I am always on the de- fensive for I love them both dearly, not to try himself out on it until he is very sure he can spell it right. After he has enjoyed success at spelling short words from rote memory, help him see that longer words can be broken up into syl- lables. Encourage him to ask you to help him spell any word he is doubtful about when he writes a school paper or a letter. and can't find the answer. I will be thankful for your comment. L.P.

And you haven't the self reliant sense of integrity to stand apart from their sharpshooting, see- ing it in perspective as a recipro- cally mean display of individual pettiness. My advice is to define your posi- tion, then stick to it. Explain to one, then the other, that their mutual dislike--if such it is--is their problem, something they must solve for themselves, or bear as their wilfully embraced cross. But leave yOu out of the hassle. Then if and when they backbite, give them the cue to your attitude, gamely----silence and a blank look.

Scotland Honors The Queen Mother Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother is to receive the Freedom of two towns .in the Scottish High- lands. On August 6 she will receive the Freedom of Inverness, which town will on the same day honour in similar fashion The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, the town and county regiment of Inverness, of which the late King George Vi was Colonel-in-Chief. The Queen Mother has also accepted Wick Town Council's in- vitation to accept the Freedom of ° Wick, and will thus become the first woman Burgess of the Royal Burgh. This ceremony will prob- ably take place after the Queen Mother has taken up residence in her new Scottish home, the Castle of Mey, near John O'Groats, which is at present undergoing alterations and repair.

What is this science of ELECTRONICS il about? T IT'S THE GREATEST SINGLE STEP YET TAKEN into tomorrow's world Electronics has revolutionized the whole' art of communications. Electronics that first gave us radio -- and then television -- can now flash words and pictures around the world at the speed of light. Oneapplication is the micro-wave that gives us the television hookup and allows hundreds of telephone conversations to be carried simul- taneously on one carrier beam. It is also the power that allows plane to talk with plane and prospectors in the inaccessible northland to keep constantly in touch as easily as we speak with a neighbour by telephone. Electronics has made radar possible -- ana the pilotless aircraft and the guided missile that seeks out its target and tracks it to inevi- table doom. It can guide planes in the sky and ships at sea and bring them safely home. Another application is the electronic brain that can compute, in minutes, mathematical com- plexities that would take skilled mathematicians days or even years to calculate on paper. ELECTRONICS SPEEDS THE PACE OF INDUSTRY Canadian General Electric, as you would expect of Canada's largest electrical com- pany, is vitally involved with the science of electronics. It was the first company to build television sets in Canada. It pioneered in two-way radio communication. It installed the country's first synchrotron -- popularly called an atom smasher --at a Canadian university. It was the first company to manufacture electronic tubes in Canada, including sub-miniatures and picture tubes. It is already producing an ever- lengthening list of electronic products for industry. Today a group within the company is engrossed in studying the limitless possibilities of transistors, the tiny electronic devices that can amplify electric signals a hundred thousand times. Not confined to any one industry, new electronic devices and controls are being used by the mining, pulp and paper, and textile indus- tries, in steel mills and manufacturing plants, and new applications are being found every day, Step by step for more than sixty years Canadian General Electric has gone for- ward with Canadian industry and has been proud to grow with Canada... today ot 1s still in the vanguard as this country moves smoothly into the electronic age.
