SEAT, REI No De x a A SEES -- v "Dear Anne Hirst: I'd like to question a reader asked lately: 'Why do men today prefer cheap girls?' (It's the second time I've seen such a query in your col- umn), His, "Men who seek out cheap girls are cheap themselves. They pick up the trait from companions they're thrown with," perhaps in the armed forces. They get bored with the life, and some think they can find release in a bottle of booze. It doesn't work out that way, ~ "Too many citizens think servy- ice men are mostly drunkards. Here's one that isn't. I've been in the service 10 years, and 1 haven't found the girl I want to marry yet, Maybe I want too much?

They Live To Dance "Living happily on Bali, a love- ly island-paradise in the Dutch East Indies, are some of fhe world's most beautiful women -- the golden-skinned Balinese | dancing girls who have large, dark expressive eyes and thick, black, glossy hair. They and their good-looking menfolk are natural dancers. The slender , graceful Balinese women: with their shapely hands and feet, dance as often as they can. But they also work hard. The Balinese are always cele- brating something, feasting and dancing for hours on end and loving every minute of it. One of their most wonderful dances illustrates the eternal triangle. It is the Demon 'Dance in which a lovely Queen is torn from the hero's admiring side and made captive by a demon, She is rescued through the valour of the man who, dressed to resemble a monkey, fights the demon and dances off triumph- antly with his lovely partner. A year or so ago a company of Balinese dancers and instru- mentalists visited the West, en- chanting audiences in Britain, the United States and elsewhere. The story of the tour, and its preparation -- an undertaking _ of many vicissitudes -- is graphically and beautifully il- lustrated in "Dancing Out of Bali," by Jonh Coast.

Buried Allve Peter is the cat of the baker- family Pieper, living in Husener Street, in this town in 'Western , Germany, When still a tiny kit. ten, Peter had been found near by, lonely and half starved, Ever since, he has been the family's beloved pet. Recently, however, Peter was missing. Then he was discover- ed lying in the road in a pool of blood, apparently having been run over by a motor-car. Pieper carried his pet to the garden and, carefully laying him underneath a tree, asked his brother Martin to bury the cat next morning, He himself did not feel up to undertaking this sad task. Next morning Peter, still ly- ing unchanged in the same posi- tion, was interred. Martin, not having found a more suitable "coffin," buried him in a card- board box, putting a bouquet of roses on top of the little grave. When the family assembled for luncheon nobody mentioned Peter. The dishes, however, were left untouched on the table, Sadly the six Piepers dis persed to attend to their tasks. A few hours later Martin, "highly excited, appeared. at his brother's bakery shop. "Peter is in the drawing-room," he yelled, "sitting in. his usual place on top of the radio, licking his fur!" Indeed it was so, Nobody knows how long he had. taken to escape from his "grave," but when he dic he settled down comfortably to attend to a plate- ful of milk.

But then: there is no accounting for the weather these days--all over the world it is as unpredictable as it can be So, in our own locality: I suppose we should at least be thankful when the weather is good and make the best of 'it when it is bad. Any- way, now that we are into the new year there isn't the. same urgency about the things we have to do and get . . . no Christ- mas shopping; no extra special food for the table; no presents to buy. 'And while we couldn't do without Christmas there is something equally nice in get- ting 'back to normal, everyday living conditions, especially when we have nice, warm thoughts in our hearts--about the unexpected kindnesses, and the lovely" cards and letters that came our way during the fes- tive season. At least that is how we: feel at Ginger Farm--and we would be most ungrateful if we felt any other way. And now there are. several months of winter weather ahead. This is the time that used to be spoken of as 'the long winter evenings' -- the 'shut-in time' when the women supposedly got all kinds of work done--sewing, knitting, quilts and hooked rugs. But now, for those who have the health, strength and opportunity of getting out, there isn't any shut- in time at all. Instead it is a period when conventions are popping up all over the place; farm organizations of every kind having their annual get-togeth- er, with delegates attending from every district in Ontario, many of them having reresenta- tives of both sexes. And what will they discuss? Farm problems, of course. Low prices, high production costs, shortage of farm labour, value of increased efficiency, farm management, weed eéradication, the new Dairy Products Act, need for increased world mark- ets, the comparative merits of the Federations of Agriculture and the Farmers Union. There will be discussions as to when, where and why women should take an active part in all these affairs; the value of Farm For- ums, and the need for increased membership; the menace of margarine, the co-operative movement, hospitalization and various other types of insurance, There will be hundreds of meet- ings all told, counting commit- tee meetings and general sess- ions. There will probably be a great number of delegates and' hundreds: of dollars spent on 'meals and accommodation. Some delegates will attend from a sense of duty, maybe at con- siderable inconvenience to them- selves; others = will be only mildly interested. Some will be fired with enthusiasm, lead dis: cussions and make practical, worthwhile suggestions. Others will contribute little to the dis- cussions--and bring away less-- but at least they will have a good time! And what will be the out- come of these conventions? Will the cause of Agriculture be in any way improved as a result of these meetihgs, discussion groups, resolutions and appeals - for improved government legis- lation in various departments? We hope so--but that remains to be seen, It will be hard to as- sess the value of the time and ISSUE 4 -- 1958 +» Meanwhile, as , With his daily chores; looking ~ "Henry - I wish to goodness ' you'd pay attention te what I'm " ages."

His interest is in the welfare of his stock and using to the best ad- vantage the hay and feed stored" for winter feeding. Maybe he spends more time at the barn than he should as there he is conscious of a sense of content- ment in his - work. Then he! comes to the house for dinner, felling at peace with life, After dinner he looks over the papers. He ponders over the intricacies of the Dairy Products Act and realises once again that farming is now big business. It is no longer a way of life, He figures he should stop taking so much - personal interest in his stock, That Bessie heifer, for instance, that he and Mary have babied along since she was born. She should be sent out-- it isn't good business to keep her. There is no room for sentiment on the modern farm. And then he looks up from his paper. Now what's Mary so worked up a- bout, Mary soon lets him know. telling you, Dear knows I've enough to do without you: act- ing so off-hand, you know I'm going ta the convention tomor- row!" i : "And why do you have to go, my dear?"

Why Woods Warp 4 In a living tree, the live wood' contains a certain amount of moisture in its fibers. These fibers are like small tubes packed side by side, shrinking or swell ing according to' the amount of moisture present. When a tree ig felled and cut into timber a great deal of moisture is set will retain its shdpe as long as it remains so. Let dampness creep in, however, and the fibers will begin to swell, even in a board or plank that has been dry for many years. . _ Drying a plank properly in the first place is not easy, for one of the difficulties is to get both sides equally dry. If you dampen one side of a thin board and place it near the heat, you will . soon find your piece of wood beginning to curl. That is because the fibers: in one side are shrinking; and as that side contracts, it draws the other side around with it. The shrinking and swelling takes place only across the grain of the wood, leaving its length unaffected by moisture. ; TO BRITISH PORTS: First Class from $192 Tourist Class from $140 CUNARD 'WINTER SAILINGS Af Thrift-Season Rates Right-to-Work Laws As his title indicates, the sec- retary of labor is supposed to represent the interests of labor. Usually this means organized labor. So it is not that Secretary of Labor Mitche has denounced the states' right- to-work laws. CRY : So far as Arizona is concern- ed, the people of this state have repeatedly expressed their opin- 'fon on right-to-work legislation. "They hdve voted for it three times, with increasing majori- ties each time, Most people don't realize it, but Arizona laws also include what might be called right-to- work legislation in reverse, Un- der the so-called yellow-dog laws, passed many years ago, no one can be denied employment simply because of membership in a union. Under the right-to- work laws, passed more recent- 1y no one can be denied employ- ment simply because of non- membership in a union. This, it seems to us, balances out the equation. It leaves up to the worker the question of whether he will join a union .or not. It doesn't please those em- ployers who would prefer not to have any unions and it does- n't please those unions that - would like to make every work- er join, -- Arizona (Phoenix) Republic, Saat ' six hundred feet tall have beea found 4n the ocean at the south- This' ern tip 01 South America. height is greater than that of the tallest trees in the world-- the giant uoia trees of Cal- ifornia and American ones.
