"Dear Anne Hirst: For five years I had a husband who was ,. very much in love witih me. He did everything to make our lit=- tle boy and me happy, taking us anywhere he could, and keeping the baby. for me when he didn't feel like going '6ut. He seemed to enjoy staying home with us' "This past year he has changed completely. 'He stays out until the small hours, sometimes all night. I don't know the cause of this change; when I ask him he just says he doesn't know! "Of course, I believe there is another woman in the picture, but I do not know how to cope with the situation. He refuses to take me out with him, and he never stays home. He only 'eats and sleeps here. 'SON MISSES HIM "This is very hard on our five- year-old boy, for his father has always been very attentive; now he doesn't see his daddy except about an hour each evening.

WHITE BIRD 'Have you ever seen--outside a museum--a snowy owl? They are the largest of all owls, approach- ing the size of an eagle, They stand a good two feet high, and their wings spread as much_as five and a half feet. Lacking trees in their Arctic' homeland, they alight on knolls and walk along the ground. Their food is chiefly rodents -- mice, lemmings, and Arctic hares, 3 In flight they are spectacular, For then their few dark markings do not show. And they appear as snow-white navigators of the sky as they flap away on their great wings with that paradoxical whispering noiselessness pecul- iar to their kind. : If you see one, look hard and rejoice at the opportunity that has been yours. For but "once in four years do -many snowy owls wing their way far south into-the United States, responding as they do to the mysterious life-cycle of the lemmings. And because the big owls are-.extraordinary and because they fly and hunt in the daytime as well as: at night, few of them, says the National Audubon Society, escape those: who seeing must shoot. Hence few return to their native haunts, One of the great values of beau- ty to mankind is that it can be enjoyed without being possessed --a truth that applies with par-- ticular force to all the beauties of * nature, Let the snowy owl go in peace to be enjoyed in great- er numbers by more people every succeeding quadrennium---From The Christian Science Monitor. 5 ating quality of a n + who are floating in w Th re Ta de fay Afloat -- Sure to make a bit hit with nonswimmers is the swimsuit demonstrated by three models or with their hands tied over their heads, § almost identical in appearance to the f: Uses captive air cells within the soft material to pro. oyancy.

" Especially if, you desire to fea- ture in the narrow-escapes rec- ord of the Uganda Game De- partment, : i Here are 'some of the things that have happened recently to game guards, free-lance hunters, snd others while getting a clos- er acquaintance with animal life in the Protectorate. A game guard shot an ele- phant which in falling - knocked down a tree full of bees. The bees attacked: the "guard, who ran for his life, only to meet more elephants. One of them charged straight at him. and he had to stop and shoot it to avoid being overrun. Meanwhile the bees almost made a meal of him. He is now in hospital re- covering from his stings and the shock of it all A game guard had fhe last' laugh on anti-rinderpest control campaign along the Sudan-Uganda border. The buffalo charged the guard at close range. The guard, with his back to a tree, bravely held | hig ground till the last moment, . Then he side-sicpped quickly, and the buffalo ran straight into the tree with terrific force and broke its neck. A film unit on location here, trying to get action shots® of an elephant asked a game guard to head it off. It éharged the man and knocked him down, but he managed to crawl backwards between the elephant's legs as it tried to impale him. = "The fact that some wild animals are really dangerous does not pear "always to be fully appre- ciated by visiting film units," is ~the rather dry comment of the Game Department. A leopard entered an African hut in broad daylight and maul- --} ed a young child. The child's grandfather, beat the animal off, and it stood at bay with a look on its face as much as to say: "You wait!" That night it re- "turned to the hut and attacked the grandfather. On the humorous side is the ostrich with. a senimental na- ture. It had been reared on a farm by hand, time came for it to be given its freedom, it seemed relucant to leave. It was transported some dis- : tance. away, but has found its way back ta the village near its old home, and now spends its time chasing away from the shops customers to whom it takes a dislike.

Sometime§ I wish I knew -- a condition of temporary boredom might be restful for a change. 'What prompted that inquiry? Just this: there was a dense fog, with a forecast of colder weather, The roads were icy and naturally 1he-vidibility was poor. And yet this is what happened. "A cer- tain gentleman was driving to Fergus on business and" his wife had planned to go with him. When it turned out to be so fog- gy I remarked -- "I suppose this awful weather upsets your plans for the day?" To my surprise, + came the answer, "Oh no, why should I? My husband has to go anyway, I might as well go al- ong for the drive as sit around home doing nothing!" That really 'set me back on my heels . .. to be so bored a long drive in 'dangerously foggy weather was considered preferable to stay- ing comfortably at home; And bored . . . when there are so ' 'many interesting things to see,' and hear, and.do that one life- time isn't long enough to take them all in. Even what we were doing that day was better than driving around in the fog. Clean- - ing furnace pipes, no less. We always clean them at least once during the winter, choosing a mild day so wé can let the fur- nace out. It is quite a job as there are four elbows and twenty- one lengths of pipe, extending from the cellar to the roof. Gen- erally we don't have too much trouble as Partner has a system that works out pretty well. ; But- this time we had to replace an elbow and one length of pipe -- and do you think they would fit together. I'm telling you we were quite warm enough even ~with the furnace out! But here "is something I must tell you girls. There is a white protective paste on the market {o rub over ybur hands on just such an occasion. It works like 'a charm. Here was I with hands like a chimney- sweep and yet, a_quick wash with soaprand water, and the dirt -was gone. No ingrained dirt to worry about so no scrubbing or abrasives were negessary. Be-- fore we leave the subject of stove and furnace pipes, have you dis- covered what a wonderful pres- ervative aluminum paint can be to your pipes -- so much nicer to look at than the old-type stove- pipe enamel, and so easy te ap: - ply. Economical too -- half a pint goes a-long way. Well now, let's sce what else - there is to keep boredom at bay. For farm folk there are: many kinds of activities. Have you noticed there is a regular epi- demic of conventions just now? As Mr. Watsos Porter: observed, "it would be unwise to start any more-farm organizations for there 'aren't any dates left to hold the annual. conventions!" the ones that are, or have been held, deserve more than' casual ~attention, <If we cannot attend these conventions we can at least read about them and by-so doing + keep ourselves abreast of agrl- oultural activities, Personally 1 am hoping that something will be done to stop the "softening wp" propgganda that farm folk are being subjected to by press gud radio, We are told that farm e.

So what happens? Having been 'schooled to expect-lower prices, when we have something to sell we accept what 'we get with grati- tude, thankful it isn't any less. It is .a psychological angle that has its effect upon producer and - I don't like it. It is the basis' for underselling and cut-rate prices. But on with the show. Other activities in the planning stage are- Folk Schools and Kate Ait- kin's Hobby Show. I think the Hobby, Show was a wonderful idea, To 'anyone interested in hobbies it is. inspirational to see what other folk are accomplish- - ing -- a hobby quite often devel- ops into a profitable side-line. A J:zwoman not far from here started pottery work as a-hobby, now she is working on a commercial basis and has more orders than she can handle. And then we havé the Folk of special interest to ' farm folk generally and to young people in particular, Folk schools are gaining in popularity combining as they do fun and education; social activities and historical research; religious ob- servance and cultural pro- grammes.

When two love- 'birds turn into battling bantams, it's every man (and woman) for.. himself. : Consider the grounds for div= orce that turned up in divorce courts in 1953. It's a perfect ex- ample of man's inhumanity to "woman, and vice versa. . Let's start with Mrs. Doris Lindsay, of Boston, who had a pretty good reason to want a | + divorce, She told the judge that her -husband hit her in the face with a cat, rubbed her face with' a- fish and locked her in the pantry with a mouse. : Animals play a. big part in divorces. Walter Sprinkel got a divorce when he told the judge his 'wife insisted on taking her cats to bed with 'her. But the cat was on the other foot in -- Detroit, where Mrs. Retha Dren- ring -said that her husband took the ;cat to bed with him. When. the cat bit her on the foot, Drenning forced her to apologize to it. It was a dog that shattered the marital bliss of the Boos. Mrs. Goldie Boo said that her hus- band insisted on having Tootsie, her little pup, sit at the -break- fast table and lap up his coffee, And another type of living thing sent Cupid scurrying for his life from the Kenneth Nor- -ton household. Mrs. Norton -said that her husband spent all his pay on food for his 10,000 earth- "worms. JG A London man got his div- orce. when 'he told how his lit- tle woman kicked him, bit him, threw a poker at him, broke a pot 'over his head and stuck a knife in his back. - "One Merrick Gillroy was a little appréhgnsive when he no- ticed "that his wife went to bed with -a-- butcher . knife tucked -. handily" beneath her pillow. Gil- lory said he Couldn't sleep. He got his divorce. -- Cruelty often assumed strange shapes. In Miami, Mrs! Doris Denio sued for divorce because her husband dyed his hair green. Denio is an entertainer,' but his wife said that green hair, no matter - what the 'excuse, | doesn't contribute to the peace and happiness of a marriage. : A' Chicago wife got a divorce because she swiped her hus- band's toupee. After Mrs. Helen Lucas took it -- as a precaution so he wouldn't date another wo- man -- her husband beat her when she wouldn't tell him where she: hid_it, One marriage that had a close shave -- then lost -- was that of some Browns. A Mrs. Frank Brown told the judge that her td husband forced her to shave him every day for 18 years, . Husbands' laziness is frequent- - ly cited as grounds for divorce. Mrs. Erma Gentle sald her hus. band exercised so much with 'dumb-bells he was too exhaust- ed for anything else. And Mrs, Bessie Sigel declared that hes husband made her serve him hig meals, cut into bite-size more. sels, as he reclined on the couch, "On the other hand, a hase band was granted a divorce bee cause; he affirmed, his wife play=' ed skittles on Thursday, Friday °* and Sunday nights as well as on Sunday afternoons.

"Those things said. - And probably the shortest lived marriage to end in 1958 was that of the Hughletts.
