I ran wway from college with an old- tr man who promised marriage; hough 1 was engaged to some-" me else, I fell for it. He didn't marry me. I was certainly the world's greatest fool; 1 was 'go. mfatuated that 1 stayed, and wen took a job to help him out. He has been true, but though be is so much older, I cannot <»__/ depend on him, He doesn't keep x» job, and when he drinks he gets really violent, "My parents were really hurt end scandalized, and so was my former fiance. They have all tried to persuade me to some home and start a new lifg; but I feel sorry for this man, and I keep thinking how much he needs me. = Of course I don't == love hime any more. "Wouldn't 1 feel like a deser- ler if 1 leave him now? SO UPSET" WHAT LIES AHEAD? "» If a friend were in your * shoes, wouldn't you remind * her that she has a duty to * herself?

Now, while you are young enough to remake your life, while those who love you urge you to come home, you can bring peace to your family and happiness to the faithful man who has never lost hope of 'your return. I urge you to go now, instead of wasting longer time on a feeble creat- ure you cgn only pity, * * * "Dear Anne Hirst: A boy of © 18 who I met four months ago was raised in Europe. I'm 16. I've been out with him three times, and now he wants to date regularly. But my sister dated him and now she has spread an untrue story about him, so my parents insist 'he is not our kind and have forbidden him to come, "Is this fair? Is it because he comes from poor pepple? Should parents tell you hom to go with? Shall I snefout to meet - him? I'm home nearly every night, and I listen to music that makes me dream of him.

A research instituted by an American firm .manufac- - turing paper - clips revealed that out of 100,000 only 28,000 were used for holding papers together. i Of the remainder, 3,196 were used as pipe cleaners, 5,534 were used as ear probes, 5,308 as fin- gernail cleaners, 5,302 as tooth- picks, 19,413 as poker chips, 406 ah olive stabbers, 14,163 as toys to use while telephoning, 4,183 as shirt sleeve adjusters, 192 for throwing at people, 7,200 to hold the fronts of blouses together, and the rest as hair clips or for making running repairs to pen. cil sharpeners. .

Sr \ PROTESTED TITLE -- Jere Wright, 20, "Miss Hawaii of 1956," poses in a tropical setting in Honolulu. Her selection earlier this year drew storms of protest in the Islands because she is a "haole" (Caucasian) and also a "malihini" (newcomer). Lew Did you have any rain last week? We certainly had plenty. It rained and stormed inter- mittently dll day Thursday. And it it wasn't raining it was so dull you just wondered what might be coming next. Late in the afternoon I wanted to -go down to the postoffice but every time I put on my hat and coat « . . crack . . . another storm started up. And since I am. a coward insofar as weather is concerned I decided to stay home. Perhaps the slight earth tremors felt in the Ottawa dist- rict the day before were re- sponsible for such persistent wet weather. It was pretty hard on the farmers trying to harvest their oat crops. Yesterday Part- ner and I took a run aruond the country and saw many fields half cut that had taken quite a beating. We even saw a field of. wheat being compined--so badly down that only the weeds were showing. Something drastic must surely have held up the work on that farm for the wheat harvest to be so late, weather cleared Thursday night so we were able to watch the wind-up of the Republican Convention-- and to see and hear President Eisenhower's speech, What a wonderful reception he received, d who could help liking the man? But he got Partner quite worried. Time after time he raised his arms above his head in acknowledging the cheers of the crowd. We always thought that to raise the arms above the head was the last thing a person Perhaps we are wrong. One thing I noticed when he was speaking, .at every opportunity he would glance across at his wife and then smile his big, broad smile, just as if he were trying to'reassure her by saying --"Don't worry, my dear--I'm all right!" . : Of course, another excitement last week was Marilyn Bell's stic- cessful swim. I imagine fifty per cent of her admirers were hop- ing she wouldn't try again but since she did naturally we all hoped she would win. It wasn't actually the swim that mattered so much--we just didn't want to see our plucky young girl defeated or hurt. You will notice I said "our" « don't you think that is how. almost everyone feels in Ontario . . , sort of pos- we all want to claim that lovable OUR Marilyn Bell, Nearer._home our interest at the moment is in the highways ~--the old and the new. On the old highway--No. 25---the Pro. ,vincial police are having quite a field day, passing out tickets to speeding motorists. Partner was 'cutting weeds along the fence the other day and in a short while he "saw four motorists given tickets, Another time } saw three cars stopped by fhe police. Maybe it is just as well for the traffic is really fast along this road. There is also a little activity on the 401 survey. We can 'sce four men popping up - and down like jack - rabbits across the field, We don't know with a heart condition should do. young person as , ONICLES INGERFARM Gwendoline P. Clatke \ 'just 'what they are doing as we had an idea the Survey was complet- ed some weeks ago. One thing is certain we shall not be told to move off just yet as I noticed in the morning paper that work is only now starting from No. 27, across to No."10 and will likely be completed in 1959! From No. 10 work will probably proceed in this direction but as No, 10 is about twelve miles from here obviously farmers in this district - can cool their heels for quite awhile yet. Just before the yellow panel truck came along today I could see Mitchie-White away across the field hunting mice. He evi: dently didn't like being disturb- ed and came home in a hurry. | It was the first time he had come to the. house for about a week. That cat is "the- greatest hunter we ever had -and because he is all white we can see him such a long way off. . Well, we sent another veal calf to market last Monday, and it fetched top price. Wonderfull Then we got a new calf to take its place so we still have only a little milk to separate. That reminds me -- I picked up the last cream cheque at the cream- ery and it was over $21, It. should have been about $3.50. A mis- take, of -course, and yet I could have cashed that cheque and no one been any the wiser. But what good would ill-gotten gain have brought us? - Incidentally, we don't need any super-markets in our town. Our local merchants have pro- vided their customers with plen- ty of parking space so now we can shop at home. Sure, we may spend a cent or two more here and there but at least it is going into the pockets of men who make our town their e, pay local taxes and take an interest "in social services, churches and schools. What does anyone save by going to oufside shopping centres anyway? It takes gas to get there and if you have child- ren along it is doubtful if you - get away without spending a dime or two giving the young- sters a ride on the big horse. Ah-ha: -- I see another fellow getting a ticket on the highway -.. maybe he and his family are hurrying home from a shopping centre! i panicked at 300 Turn Up For Fake Wedding The smart, silvered invitation arrivél "out of the blue"--at the homes of 2,000 celebrities re- questing their presence at: thé: wedding of Victor and Victorine at. the Church of St. Martin in the Street of Dreams. ) None of the distinguished guests could quite recall having met the young couple. Yet over 300 tried to turn up' at the church; and by doing so caused eamplete traffic chaos, bewil- dering Paris taxi-drivers and the policemen who tried to direct them to a non-existent church in a street-that-never-was! The invitation was in fact a _ novel publicity stunt launched «by a company to promote one of their films--just one more of the many hoaxes pulled recently on an unsuspecting world. Take the case ¢f the smiling twenty-nine-year-old Greek who was so handsome and distin- guished that he fooled the - United Nations. Arriving at Geneva as the "Director of Health from Alaska," he was feted and feasted--yet it was all just another hoax. At the World Health assembly he voted on behalf of Greece-- until the real delegates returnedp to their seats and threw him out. - Posing as an expert on drug ad- diction, he lectured the scientists of the United Nations narcotics commission. But when he began talking sheer nonsense uproar ensued and the laughing Greek was ejected. From as far aawy as Chile "headlines rattled when it was announced that a young mother had given birth to seven babies. It was a hoax pulled off for a medical students' rag. In New York hundreds of folk loudspeaker an- nouncements that enemy aero- planes were approaching the city. A radio voice warned every two minutes that the 'planes were getting nearer. Motorists abandoned their cars __ and took cover. Mothers franti= cally sought their children. Then the police found radio addict Stan . Gordon making ' the an- nouncement into his home-made amplifier at an upper window. There was the breakfast table shock, too, that greeted 200 folk when they opened the following letter: "One of our educated | apes is -available to you for a 30-day trial. Our apes can be used in housework. Their initial cost is low. They require little food or clothing. Unless we hear from you to the contrary we will send your ape, .. ." A scientist explained to the police that he was testing the. householders' gullibility. Even canny Lancashire was fooled recently when a practical joker began telling his friends "of a prize contest he said he had heard announced by Radio Lux- embourg. Prizes of $150, he said, were being offered for empty packets of cigarettes of a_cer- tain make with the packer's mark "C" in the seams. The rumour spread like wild- fire and the results passed far beyond the joker's ken. Soon . Radio Luxembourg was being besieged by empty cigarette carton's of various brands; the prizes were thought to range from $50 to $750 and thousands of people were looking for the packer's mark. Poems For Sale / In all this, Bogota is not greatly different from other South American markets, The Indians of the Colombian pla- teau are less colorful and dis- tinctive than those of the Ecua- dorian Andes; and in Colombia one misses the disdainful llamas which in Ecuador condescended to act &s beasts of burden. But in Bogota, alone of all the world, does one find poetry sold side by side with: poultry, Little boys stroll about offer- ing for a few pennies small - paperbeund, collections of what they wo prettily call poesias; and" cheaper still are verses ISSUE 38 -- 1956 printed on single slips, printed often in red. In the markets of Bogota there is an excellent sale for poesias, Frequently the pur- chaser cannot read, and the small salesman must read aloud from his collection that his cus- tomer may make a choice. And always a crowd gathers to listen." : .

A bare-legged girl in short tattered garments considers the poems, while at her. feet a rab- bit, seated on the ground, is making the neatest of toilets; very scrupulous and leisurely as though he-had all eternity before him. . The girl considers There are "poems - upon "Poverty," and "Marriage among the Poor"; upon "the eyes of a loved one; upon the soldier who promises that on the morrow which is never to be for him he will re- ) turn to the window of his love; and there are poems celebrat- ing the devotion of parents and children. -, . . But it is a poem inscribed "To the Little Laundress" for which the barefoot girl finally exchanges her penny; to a "Lovely Little Laundress, with eyes as fair as the sun, and a soul as blue as the skies; Listen to me, Little Laundress, and tell me why you are so happy" and why you sing as you scrub? , , .""--From.
