"T St.,, New Toronto, "question her about .¥ boys? Dating boys is the present issue, and it is so much on the teen-ager's mind that her mother fears she would get herself emotionally involved with the first one who takes her. out. She would not trust her daughter to cpmé home when she promises; the girl could become a recalcitrant who defies all rules. When mothers themselves were 'brought up under strict discipline they become, as a rule, too indulgent as parents, They are so deter- mined that their girls shall have the fun they were de- prived of that they: relax their vigilance, and plenty of youngsters take advantage of it. This mother knows -that the freedom allowed young girls these days provides op- portunity for the best of them to get into mischief without trying. She feels that until her daughter proves to be trustworthy, the parent must keep the upper hand. When that happy day arrives, she will be as happy : as the youngster to encourage her dating. * * * TO -~ "UNHAPPY GIRL": Make a quick about-face. Don't deceive your mother in any way. Go where you say you are going, come home when she expects you. Accept your household chores as right and fair. "You are an important member of the family group, and each one must contribute toward help- ing the home machinery run smoothly and pleasantly. When you do your mother will see how fast you're growing up. I expect she will let you invite girls and boys to the house for an evening now and then; if you ask her; you'd have the chance to show her how capable you are as a hostess, and she would get to know your friends better. Show her this. piece today, and talk things over frankly and quietly; let her know you are trying to un- derstand her viewpoint. Pro- mise you will play fair, and you will see how relieved she is that you want to co-oper- ate instead of resent, which will create a new and warmer feeling between you and bring closer that wonderful day when you will get your wish. * * * PEATE SE IE 2 PE JE EEE EE EE EE EE BE SE BE BE EE J EE EE If - you and your parents aren't getting along, tell Anne Hirst about it, She understands you, and them, and can simpli- {fy the problem for you all.

Looking ten times as big as the real moon, this man-made creation will -be about {fifteen miles long and five miles high, It will be bright enough . for farmers to plough by at night over an area of 10000 square miles. How will it be made? Power- fu' radio waves will. be sent in- to the ionosphere fifty miles up, te create an oscillation of elec- trons sufficient to generate a stetic charge. The charge will be fed continuously, creating the effect of a lop-sided rose-colour- ed moon. Professor Mario Cutole, of Naples University and other Italian scientists have already carried out tests oa a small scale, They hope to put on a full-scale show between July, 1957 and December, 1953. . "It may be so bright that hens will: lay-at night," savs the pro- fessor. ' It is said that thc artificial moonlight may be an important defence factor in war-time as well as helping to illuminate" cities in time*of peace. And any- way, sweethearts are appreciated. WEDDING MEDAL -- Here are both sides of the bronze medal that will be distributed to all of the subjects of Prince Rainier Il of Monaco following his wedding to Aemrican movie star Grace Kelly in Monaco on April 19th, The medal was designed by French artist Henrie Lagriffoul. these things, . r DESERVING ONES -- TV star Phil Silvers and aciress Nanette Bi @ dg Fabray were obviously happy as they posed in New York with the "Emmy" awards they won at the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences' Awards dinner. The presentation ceremonies were seen over a national TV hookup. Silvers got three, awards, the first time so many have been won by a single performer. i Comedian Fred Allen was stricken with a coronary dftack on a sidewalk near his. apartment in New York and died 'shortly after. Witnesses said Allen dropped to the. ground during a stroll in - the evening. His Name Always Spelled "Trouble" "l had been: born with a gut full of hand grenades. If I did not land my shots on the body of somebody else, they would go off inside of me and kill 'me. That's how I 'felt. I - had" to fight." So .says «former world 'mid- dle-weight = champion . Rocky Graziano in his book :"Some- body Up There Likes Me." And fight he did, on the streets, in bars, in clubs, in reform school, in prison, in the guardhouse, and in the ring. . Always, wherever he was, h had to be number one, and be- cause - he packed dynamite in his' right hand and was scared of nobody, he usually was. Born on the East Side of New York, he grew up. poor and - wild, stealing his food -- "the only thing we paid for regular was haircuts." Until he made fighting his career "I knew only two ways of living -- being locked up or runing wild." He was only persuaded into amateur boxing because he knew that when he won he could sell the watch they gave him for ten or fifteen dollars. When he turned professional it was because the money was better. But he usually won, and al- ways the same way. He would come out of his corner wild _ and swinging lefts and rights, mostly rights; sooner or later he would connect and that would be that. Then, having fought most peo- ple in civilian life, he had his attention turned to the army. He was conscripted. He stuck it for a few days, then he walk- ed out. after having beaten up the corporal who was supposed to be in charge of his tent:and knocking out the captain in charge of the camp. He went back to boxing, but the army caught up with him and he found 'Himself back in jail, this time -an army one, But when he walked out of pri- son, he walked out of the army, too. He signed up-to fight for Irving Cohen, but. soon he was back in jail for desertion. That year behind bars changed his life. He came out ~determined to go straight -- as a boxer, * But they couldn't make him train.' When we went to a train- ing * camp he just sat: around smoking. If he went on a road" run, he would sit' down with his pals as soon as he was out of sight of the camp and throw dice. d He was always a wild street fighter, and he stayed that way right up until he took the title . from' Tony Zale in 1947. Rocky 'never made a claim to fame as a boxer, afid he did not even boast that he was a clean fighter; But he had guts, one of the hardest punches in the game and the killer in- stinct. He would take punish- ment for round. after round, just waiting for the one open- ing that would give him his chance, He took it, and his op- ponents seldom knew what hit them. ' Now. "Rocky Graziano is in show" business, and they are going. to make a film of his book.. But if they include just half the things in that volume there. will be more trouble -- with the censor. 'WHERE THERE'S LIFE One of the Yankees' favorite diversions on train trips is the game of "Twenty Questions." On the nineteenth question of one particular game, Yogi Berra asked, "Is the subject living?" The answer was "Yes." Yogi pondered a moment; then stunned his fellow players with, "Is he living now?" POISON-ALLY SPEAKING The latest. Yogi Berra tale concerns his. visit to the St. Petersburg waterfront to watch a yacht race. One of the boats was flying' a Jolly' Roger pen- nant, complete with the pirates' skull and 'crosshones. what that means?" Yogi was asked. . "Sure", answered Yogi. '"Io- dine."

ISSUE 14 -- 1956 "Know Did You Ever Hear A Cabbage Yell? , Smacking his lips over a -juiey rump steak, the hardest .-heartéd meat-eater may spare 'alittle sympathy for the 'fate 'of the animal Which became his dinner. TEER "But -who would ever shed a tear over the, cauliflower or cabbage that goes down so well with the beef? "Cabbages 'don't sure? Some time ago a . noted Indian scientist decided to find out whether vegetables have feelings, ' And after long and patient experiments ' he pro- duced an astonishing' discovery. «They have feelings. Inthe Bose Institute, in" Cal- - cutta, Sir Jagadis -Bose made the discovery that the humblest flower has . seneibilities' un- dreamed of before his amazing" expermints. Using apparatus capable of registering 'the 'smallest' electri- cal reaction, Bose cut.and dam- aged a wide variety of plants. He got reactions from all of them. They felt the pain though, no doubt, in a less. acute form - than you feel it in the dentist's chair, or when you cut your hand. ; By using an instrumeint of his own invention, Bose was able to detect movements in a plant by magnifying them one million times. Using this mach- ine, he detected how 'a: plant winces as it is damaged much as an animal does. ° 'He next wanted to find. out if plants were subject to drugs. He found that a cabbage can be made 'drunk, as it were, by being given alcohol. + When you sleep the machinery of you-tody ticks over .more slowly th when ;: you : are awake and\at-Averk or play. Bose found that\just the same thing happened wHen plants go to sleep and, of course, everyone who has a: garden knows "they do. He found that plants are very much like . animals in many: ways,.-only . living on. a lower lite level. They must have good - -food and drink to flourish, and plenty of fresh air. He gave his experimental plants short - measure of these essentials and saw' them react always as ani- mals + would, ~ . "Even = more : extraordinary, the scientist found that some vegetables - carrots, radishes, cauliflowers, celery - are more sensitive than others. Do vegetables get tired as animals: do? Again,' the answer is. yes. ' Sir .Jagadis ' measured, electronically » a . large. number of. responses: in this way. - He gave several vegetables a . succession. of - electric, stimula- tions quickly, one after the other, He found that after a time they were too tired to re- spond. Some : went on. responding to the: shocks, more and 'more slowly, until: death .ended .all activity. . Other experiments proved that vegetables vary in health and vigour ' with the seasons. They" are 'lusty 'in spring' 'and by late autumn are wilting bad- ly. Geraniums and arum lilies were also. among subjects for these 'fests. 'Anaesthetics were tried on "yegetables, . too. Chloroform and such poisons. as mercuric. chlor- ide were administered to. a number of plants. The poisons killed the plants, and the insects feeding on : them died : 'also. When the vegetable or. plant survived, . the insects, survived. Qut: of these "@xperiments - Sir Jagadis made the. discovery that whatever tends to increase or depress the vitality 'of plants tends to increase or. diminish its response to an electrical shock. : . The chart of these responses { is. recorded on a.galvanometer, and . the zigzag line produced looks véry much like that of an ordinary 'barometer, So we have to revise our atti- tude to vegetables and plant 'life generally. They may not be - able' to think, But they. are af- fected : by fatigue. .and. anaes- ,.thetics, they react to cuts, they _ can get drunk, and. feel a. great many things that are experi- enced in.more intense form by - man.

Yeast fruit buns in the making. I could almost eat them raw they smell so good. This Is 'my second attempt at buns after bed a lapse of several years, in which time I didn't make any at all.' And at one 'time 1 made them every week. That was when the' youngsters were at home and I found yeast buns more filling and less expensive than trying to keép the cookie jar full, I made this batch today because Bo nd Joy will be in later and know they will enjoy them.' 31 Funny, how we get away from doing things. At one time I . made 'all 'my own bread. I couldn't imagine my family be- ing satisfied with baker's bread. Then one of the bread com- panies - started canvassing ' for custom around here and I bought bread once a week to save bak- ing so often. . Eventually our family was reduced in number and it didn't' seem worthwhile baking just for two or three, So the baker got another regu- lar . customer. It was the same thing with butter." Even when we stopped making butter to sell I always did a churning . for ourselves every few: weeks. The, old bar- rel churn.is stills'down: in the cellar.. Now ' we- buy ereamery butter all the time. Butter -- not margarine -- I'd have you know! ~ i 1 But there were some: things we never did: do very well -- not- being born' ito. it,iias. one might say. Curing pork, for' in- stance. We tried several methods but 'our side bacon was always " hard and unappetising. As for headcheese -- the look . and smell of a pig's head stewing away made me feel sick. After several attempts we ended up by giving the head away after a butchering. But I liked render- ing lard. There was something fascinating in reducing all :the cuttings to liquid grease and cracklings. I was never much of a hand at making soap,' Part- ner: never wanted yme to: do it anyway: because when he first came to Canada he lived.on a farm where homemade soap was always used. It was very strong, and very smelly, and in winter- time his hands were raw and: - bleeding -- "which" didn't make the milking any : 'easier, and wouldn't have 'been 'allowed: by the Health Unit in this.day and age. . Porridge was another. standby . at. Ginger Farm. Always por-.. ridge for breakfast. Not quick- meal porridge but real old Beak al that .fell by the way. Now it's |. packaged cereal. And in those days we had 'tea at breakfast time. 'Now it's 'coffee. In"fact we wouldn't say thank you:for breakfast without it -- or grape fruit. It was the youngsters whe changed our 'habits' Bob 'took a liking: to coffee 'when he was:ia the' Army so; when he was: at jhome on leave I naturally. made coffee for. him -- and a pot.of 'tea for ourselves. But that got to 'be too much of a chore so finally we all drank coffee. Maybe it's the weather has put me in a reminiscent mood. A few days-ago'we had a real old-time storm --rand-we 'are promised more of the same; Thé snow was swirling and blowing like fury, but not: enough: of it to .pile 'into heavy drifts .and -it-~ didn't interfere ' with road traffic -at, all. In the old days the road past here was a.county road, not a highway and it was often impassable after a bad storm. Of course, nd one ever thought of driving a. car during the winter anyway. The old Fliv- ver was jacked up on blocks for months at a time. Even when spring 'came the car couldn't be used because of the mud. Horses 'were all-important in those days -- and so were the trains, Cattle and pigs were shipped to the 'stockyards by _-chicks, - rail. Every station had its) load- ing yard and farm stock was taken there by sleigh or wag- gon. Sometimes cattle were herded along the road on foot, I remember the first time Part-- ner sent out a load of pigs by. motor-transport: We watched the. truck go down: the lane and thought it was the last word in. convenience 'for farmers! The second' time 'we 'weré not se sure. An old sow that was be- ing shipped broke 'the side of the loading chute and got away. . She was: a contrary old dame anyway, so we finally ate her. And then the chickens -- hatched by broody hens. 1 re- member 'having as many as. fif- teen setting hens at one time. When the chicks were hatched 'we took: half the hens away, keeping the ones with a nice motherly disposition. Sometimes they were too motherly and smothered: somé of the chicks Vd during sthe night. Oh, the sick' feeling when you found & num- ber. of poor - little dead chicks under a ucthep Ben, Or half- grown chicks ed by rats, skunks or. carried away by a fox. The time came when we got day-old chicks and a brood- er stove. Later, it was started and then 8-week-old mixed. chicks. Now we buy : realy - to -lay -pullets which makes the work lighter as we 3 older. _ oN changes during the years! It: $dunds like a century ago andsyet it all took place in the thirty-odd years we have been farming. Sometimes ..when I speak of present conveniences I wonder if 'I sound smug. Actu- ally we are anything but smug. It just is, that as we look back, we realize how hard we, and other farm folk worked, with few conveniences and -so little of .the comforts of life. But we are glad we went through that period, otherwise we wouldn't know enough to appre- clate the warm, convenient and comfortable homes of today. by Coane Wha Sew-easy to make this pretly maternity top: -- you're sure «Want geveral in crisp, cool cet- tons!
