"Dear Anne Hirst: 1 am a widower in my late 30's, with a young daughter. I have fallen in love with a girl of 20, whom I knew in college, She is di- vorcing her husband; we are not seeing each other until it is final, but I am sure she loves me, ~ "I have a comfortable home, and can give her the security she has not had. We are tem- peramentally attuned --in fact, everything seems so very right that I am wondering about the future! My marriage was not happy, so perhaps I am a bit fearful , , . "I have read your column for a long time, and I would value your opinion, ROGER" * Unless there is an obstacle * to this marriage that you have not confided, I see no reason why you should not gladly go ahead with your plans. You and this girl both have had disillusioning experi- ences, which will make you appreciate each other all the more, She is fond of your little girl, and the child seems to welcome her friendship. If you are weighing the differ- ence in your ages, to my mind they do not matter. You two are entirely compatible, with the same ideals and 'sensibilities, and your mar- riage should bring a serenity to three nice people, * * * * In any troubled situation, consult Anne Hirst before you get too deeply involved. Her wide experience and warm sympathy are yours for the asking, and her counsel is safe to follow. Write her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth Street, New Toronto, Ontario. Every day scores-of human beings lose their lives by accid- ent. Most accidents are due to commonplace causes' but occas- ionally there are unusaul mis- haps such as the Frenchman who dozed off in front of the fire, His wooden leg caught alight .and he was fatally bur- ned. Consider the case of the man who was walking along with a bottle of acid in his pocket. Some. boys were throwing stones and one hit the man's pocket. It didn't leave a mark' on him, but it Killed him. The bottle was broken, and the acid - escaped and soaked into his body and in half an hour he was dead. In Jamaica, a few month ago, a magician was performing at a social function, For one of his tricks he required the help of twelve strong men from the audience. He produced a rope which he placed round his neck and told six men to take. one end of the rope while the other six took the other end, At a sgiven signal they were to start a tug o' war, with him in the middle. But something went wrong, the men pulled and the magician was strangled under the eyes of the horrified audience, Not so long ago a man who wished to make a romantic con- quest gave a girl some sweets which he had doctored with a love potion, The girl gave a piece to another girl, But the man had blundered, for instead of the love potion he had mis-" takenly used a powerful poison, and both girls died in agony. 7 Strange Weddings As she opened the parcel of liver the butcher's boy had just delivered she stepped back with astonishment, Scrawled in ink across the wrapping paper were the words, "Will you marry me?" Connie, who lived in New York and whose husband had been. killed in Korea two years before, hurried "to the telephone and called the butcher who had taken her out several times. Iw "I received your message, Jack," she whispered. "And--and I will" "You will what?" asked the - butcher, "Why, marry you," Connie murmured, hesitantly. There was a long pause. Then the butcher said: "I didn't send you any message, Connie, But it's okay. I'll marry you. I would have proposed before but I couldn't sort of work up the nerve." So Connie and Jack were mar- ried. But to this day they don't know who sent the message! There have been even stranger proposals. For example, when farmer Nathaniel Peters met a girl at a Johannesburg party. he fell wildly in love, but had to return to his farm, 100 miles away, before he could do any- thing about it. It would take several days for a letter to reach the girl and her reply to come back, and Peters just could not stand the suspense. Then he had a brilliant idea. He visited the chief of a near-by village and asked the man if he could get a message {o the girl by tom-tom. The chief agreed, and soon tom-toms were sending the mes- sage by bush telegraph through 500 miles of swamp and jungle. - The message went at dawn. He got a very firm reply of "ves" as night was falling. ic NO MOTHBALLS NEEDED--They look like Granpa's red woollen "Long Johns", but they're really "Glamor Gams" of sheer nylon in bright colors. They were recently shown for wear with wool sports skirts, kilts and Bermuda shorts. Cats That Help The Scientists The strange light that "shines" from cats' eyes at night has long puzzled zoologists, It is now be- ing investigated thoroughly for the first time. Scientists. are also trying to find out whether a cat can really see in a room which looks pitch- dark to the human eve. The in- vestigators, armed with torches, are visiting zoos at night and hope to make new discoveries about the eyes of many other animals as well as cats. A British zoologist says that what we ordinarilv call a dark room is actually full of tiny rays of light--rays which a cat is able to pick un easily. "WA cat's pupils, mere slifs in the daytime, exnand far more than our own." he said, "while its eyes also carry at the back a kind of reflecting mirror which probably accounts for them gloaming in the dark. The cat therefore collects the little light there is and sees." A London scientist in 1951 matched his own sharp eyes against those of six cafs in an at- tempt to find out how much cats can sce in the dark. When a sau- cer of milk was "illuminated" with a light beam so faint that it was invisible to the scientist, the cats saw it at once. The sau- cer was in an air-tight, glass sided box so that the cats could get no clue from their noses. Some Chinese claim that they _can tell the time accurately by looking at the eyes of a cat on a bright day. They say that the cal's eyes are smallest at noon, gradually widening until it is dark and remaining in this condition until the light begins to dawn again, when they start to get narrow, £4 QUEEN FOR A YEAR -- Newly crowned Miss America of 1957 . shows her regal trappings in Atlantic City.

BY REV R BAKLlAY WARREN BA. BD. The Creation Story Genesis 1: 1-5, 9-12, 26-28, 31 Memory Selection: And God saw everything that he. had made, and, behold, it was very good, Genesis 1:31 For this last quarter of the | year we have an unique series on thirteen of the great passages of the Bible ranging from Gene- sis to Revelation. Six of them are from the Old Testament and seven from the New Testament, Each has a unique message for Christian life and thought. IFor- this lesson we have the creation htory. A scientist once said, "There is no more possibil- ity of the world being here as a result of chance than of Web- ster's Unabridged Dictionary re- sulting from an explosion in a printing plant." But from where did the world come? We read in Hebrews 11.3: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do ap- pear." The Bible begins with the words, "In the beginning God." God was before matter. When did God create the beavens and the earth? The Scriptures are indefinite as to the period of time covered by the first three verses. The Chris- tian Century of March 3, 1954, centained 2 brief summary of an address in New Orleans by Dr. Edward McCrady, one of Ameri- ca's top nuclear physicists. We quote: "Science today is faced with the stark fact that creation occurred at a definite time, he said; studies in radioactivity measurements of time show that all the atoms of the universe sud- denly came into being 5.07 bil- lion years ago. Dr. McCrady ex- pressed concern over the discov- ery that an atomic explosion does not just disperse or break up matter, but causes it to cease to exist." This estimate is in agree- raent with geological estimates. Albert Einstein taught us that the fundamental units of matter are but pin points of energy -- power. Whose power? The an- swer is in the Bible's first verse. Man was the crowning work of God's creation. He did not evolve from a monkey. He was made in the image of God. The likeness is seen in the mental and moral features, such as rea- son, personality and free will, God is our Creator. Modern Etiquette . " Q. Is it good form to state in "an introduction, "I want to make you acquainted - with, ete"? A. This is considered very bad form, as is the other oft- used expression, "Shake hands with." It is much better to say, "Mr. Jones, Mr. Williams," or, "Mr. Jones, may I present Mr, Williams?" . Q.Should one always use the napkin before drinking from a glass of water at the dinner table? A. Yes; this prevents any chance of leaving an. unsightly - smudge of food on the rim of the glass, has ¥ Q. What rules should be ob- served In typéwritten . social letters? ' A. Single sheets of paper should be used, written on one side only. And your signature should always be written by hand. ~ My goodness, our" two wee grandsons have been here quite a bit lately -- and I haven't said a word about them. Isn't that almost unbelievable -- coming from a grandmother? Edward is only one week short . of four months old and he is the happiest, most contented little fellow I ever knew. And that is not just the view of a doting grandmother, Many other people have said the same thing. Even his mother says he is-easiersto look after than Dave cver was in his baby days. David, of course, is no longer a baby. He is quite the little boy . and very proud of his "brud- der." Dee was quite worried be- fore the baby arrived in case David might be jealous. But there isn't a sign of it, possibly because his parents have always been careful to give Dave a sense of possession -- Edward is David's baby as well as mum- n.y's; David's brother and David is given the privilege of helping to carry the cot or carriage into the house and to run around and get this and that for baby bro- ther. So it is all working out very nicely and everybody is happy. It is very nice to have two little boys come to visit in- siead of one, One is better than none at all but an: only child needs so much careful training if he is to grow up unselfish and unspoilt, Well, I suppose there has been plenty of complaining about the unseasonably cold, wet weather. Yesterday was miserable and as Partner and I drove along No. 6 Highway and across country *we noticed smoke coming from a good many chimneys, includ- ing the farmhouse. belonging to {riends-in - the Hespeler district whom we were visiting for the _first time for over a year. That smoke curling upward from the chimney was a very welcome sign. The house was as warm as the welcome we received. This farm as one of the few where the grain harvest had been com- pleted but of course there is still the silo to fill. I don't think { ever as in a country garden where there were so many beau- tiful flowers -- almost every kind you could think of -- an- nuals, perennials, shrubs -- all with a profusion" of bloom. The women-folk in that family cer- tainly have a green thumb -- but how they ever keep up with the work I don't know. It grieved me to look around and think that so much of "the glory »f the garden" will soon INGE . one drover Partn SSS ee aa a RFARM Gwendoline P. Clothe be lost -- it will take only one killing frost to do it. While the women of the . party were admiring gardens, turkeys, dogs and new-born calves the men were "walking" the farm -- over the ravine and through the bush and the back fields, discussing the merits and . disadvantages of the farm as a whole -- as farmers always do when they get together. Here, at Ginger Farm, there was a little extra activity this morning. The stock truck came in to take a cow and calf to market. Partner was anticipat- ing a little trouble in loading the cow, But he needn't have worried. Livestock truckers are batter equipped to deal with per- verse animals than they used to be. A ramp with sides is lower- ed from the back of the truck to fit inside the stable door and the cattle, with a little persua- sion from the rear, have no op- tion but to walk -into the truck. There is no excuse these days for livestock to arrive at the stockyards bruised and beaten. -Thank goodness we have finally reached the stage when care is usually. exercised so that our dumb animals are not subjected to needless suffering. Years ago I. used to dread seeing a drover drive into the yard.<], remember ys retued to do business with dt all. He was excellent at selling but terribly rough with the cattle. We pre- _ ferred a man -- maybe not quite so smart but certainly more humane, Our next worry will be sell- ing the old hens -- and that will be another story. Always, as soon as the first hen is caught the birds get scared and fly all over the place. Maybe the time will come when a specially wired in truck will be invented so that hens like cattle, could just be dariven into - the truck. I can't see any reason why some such contrivance couldn't be invent- ed -- with movable partitions for use in going from one call to another. Partner is very busy these "days rounding up useless wood lying around the place, such as neckyokes and whiffle-trees. They make excellent fuel for the fireplace. Of course the end pieces are' salvaged for ,scrap iron. Like all other farm folk we have an awful accumulation of stuff, saved because "it might come in handy sometime." But .
