We have gone places and had good fies together; even my family iked him, which as you know doesn't always happen, He is handsome and has grand man- ners, and I fell hard. Of courss I thought he did, too, although now I remember that he never did commit himself. Anyway, a girl friend of mine dropped in one night while he was there (and she wasn't invited) so she called her boy friend and we all went out together, "That was the dumbest thing I ever did. She made a play for him, and I've hardly seen him since. They go everywhere to-. gether. I am sick about it. I had heard she likes to break up couples, I guess just to see if she can; but she seemed friend- Iv to me, so I didn't believe the stories. The boys fall for her (I think I know why) and al- though she doesn't hold them long there's always another one around. Maybe she feels bad about this one of mine she land- ed, because now she doesn't speak to me.

I go out with other people, but I can't keep my mind on them, He is my ideal! HOPELESS" * Once a young man stops * dating you, I know of no way * you can bring him back. Don't * blame the girl too harshly; if * he had thought as much of you as you believed, her charms would have been in vain, It is your misfortune that you fell in love with one who cared less for you. This is one reason to keep on datmg other friends. (You would anyhow, since he has left town.) At first they may not seem exciting, but it pays to keep going out with them especially when your spirits are low; you'll be going places and doing things, and in spite of yourself you'll be cheered. If T may suggest it, why not drop this girl as promptly as she has dropped you? She isn't the right sort, and others might feel you aren't, either. " CE IS IT TOO LATE? "Dear Anne Hirst: I have heard girls who learned how much they loved a man only when they lost him, but I never believed it was true. Now I know, and how unhappy I am! "Nearly two years ago I met this boy,-and we went regularly together until two months ago. Then I called it quits, and now I miss him so much I am in a state of collapse. Finally he came around and I was apolo- getic and as nice as I could be, but he said pointblank that he didn't love me as he did. . . . If it was real love in the first place, couldn't he love me now and forgive me?

All you can do now is to wait and to hope. It would be in poor taste to call him or write. Let him find out whether you are more important in his life than he thought; if you are, he will soon be with you. But mean- time, go out as often as you can with other dates, if only to keep yourself in circula- tion. It won't be easy, but af- ter the first few times you will find you 'can actually en- joy them.

Do you think it's proper for one girl to borrow another girl's lipstick? A. While this is frequently done, I still think that lipstick is just a bit too personal an item to borrow. Q. Is it necessary that the acknowledgment of an invitation, when either accepting or declin- ing, be definite, or is it all right for one to say, "I may be able to come"? A. By all means, be definite when acknowledging an invita- tion -- either "yes" or "no".

I expect this A Prince Starts Boarding - School As any parent knows, it fis difficult enough these days to educate a child for normal, alomic-age living. But how to educate a boy to be a king? Britain's royal family gave part of its answer last week. Eight- year-old Prince Charles will leave Hill House day school in London to become a boarder at Cheam, a 311-year-old school of 90 boys, 50 miles west of London, this fall. Cheam was not a surprising choice as Charles' prep school. In 1914, Prince Louis of Batten- berg, then First Sea Lord, was impressed one day by the im- pecable manners of two young midshipmen. "Where were you educated?" he asked them. "Chearp, sir," they replied, and Louis told them: "Then that shall be the school for my son." Philip Mountbatten, Louis' grandson, went to Cheam from 1930 to 1933 and has been de- termined to send his son there from the time Charles was born. At first, palace advisers object- ed, preferring that Charles have private tutors. Last week, with the discreet assistance of Prime Minister Macmillan (an old Etonian), Philip had his own way. -- -- Following the royal decision, joint headmasters Peter Beck and Mark Wheeler faced the added pressure of one extra new boy for their already crowded school by first putting a security a FEELING HIGH -- Gelting a lift out of the proceedings at Palisades Park, 11-year-old Diane Hunt carries on the show business tradition of being borne in a trunk.

With details unavailable, the British press assumed and reported that there were so many lords on the school's roster that no black- board was big enough to chalk up their collective titles. Actually, this was not the case. Cheam. mixes sons of bluebloods and ordinary businessmen indis- criminately, so long as they meet scholastic requirements. It blends 'old-school-tie tradition with modernity (caning only for serious offences). Its alumni end up in indusfry and civil service as often as they wind up in the Hose of "Lords. . Charles will share a dormitory with eight other boys and will sleep in an iron bedstead. He will rise at 7, make his-bed, clean his shoes, attend classes, play football and cricket. While such a regime is unlike- ly to satifsy such critics of royalty as Lords Altrincham and Londonderry who complain that his education won't expose him to boys from all walks of life, it is, as The Daily Express called it, "half a revolution". Prince Charles will be undergoing the nearest approximation to a middle-class education ever ar- ranged by the British monarchy. -- From Newsweck "Lucky you're in Alcatrax, Slugger; the Giants are move ing out here!" oh LOOK ALIKES=Striking resemblance b RL ds etween Ingrid Bergman and her daughter, Jenny Ann Lindstrom, is shown in this scene at a Rome souvenir stand.

GINGER FARM wendoline P.Claetke Ever since I can remember I * have been fascinated in trying to figure out reason for people being where they are. Take any town or country district--east, west, north, south--what reasdn did any particular family have for living in any of those districts --or any district for that matter? I always wonder--still more so now, since we have been on the move ourselves, and find our- selves continually bumping into people who are, or will be, mov- - ing to the very district we have left. When we went back to Halton during the Federal clec- tion we passed a hundred-acre farm about three miles from Ginger Farm-on which had been built, among the trees, a very lovely modern home, with a grand view across the country. The owners, we were told, came from "somewhere near Toronto". I forgot about the place until one day last week. At that time I was exploring an out-of-the- way residential area near here-- as I often do--and noticed a par- ticularly attractive house for ° sale in a wooded section. I stopped. and spoke to the lady of the house and discovered they were selling as they had bought a hundred acres in Halton and had built a house 'that was even now ready and waiting for them. The one we had seen, no less! Of course, I don't know their reasons for moving but I do know this----their tax bill for a hundred acres will be less than. what they are paying for their present house. Besides that, as they don't intend to farm there is nothing to stop them selling off acre, or five acre lots from their property for country homes, That is just one "moving" instance but we have run across many others. Probably people are trying to escape high taxa- tion. Well, from what we hear it can't be done. Taxes are sky- rocketing everywhere, even in country districts. Education seems to be the greatest single factor. The Provincial govern- ment has promised to ease the burden so we shall await de~ velopments with interest, al- though any easement that comes will be too late to affect next year's taxes. Well, I had plenty of oppor- tunity last week to indulge my curiosity 'about people and where they live as last Sunday Bob and family took us to Midland where Dee and her family were on a two-week vacation -- at Notta- us on a four-hour sight-seeing country to Partner and me so naturally we enjoyed the trip im- mensely sepecially as Art had a motor-launch rented to take : us n oa four-hour sight-seeing trip on the lake, We went fro Midland to Honey Harbor, - ed around Christian Island and then back home again, At times there was quite a swell on the water, white caps tossing a feathery spray. Not really roug just enuogh so we could fee the motion of the boat--which added to our enjoyment. Our three grandsons loved it, al though two of them spent part of the time sleeping. From the water we saw the Martyrs' Shrine in the distance (now I'll never be satisfied until I get a closer view). Along the road we passed the site of the summer ski-jump. Nottawaga Beach is a lovely woodsy district but we hadn't been there 10 minutes before the mosquitoes were out in force to meet me. Not everyone--just me. Why I should be so favored I don't know, but that's the way it always is, Dave and Eddie were naturally having a grand time on the beach, fearless Ed- die dashing into the water as if he intended to swim the bay. We returned by way of Barrie and No. 27 Highway and did not run into heavy traffic anywhere. Such lovely scenery along the road. I understand that when . No. 27 was built consideration was given, as far as possible, to making it a scenic route to the north. Certainly the engin- eers succeeded, if that was their purpose. Ontario is such a lovely province I think we owe it to ourselves to sce as much of it as possible, always remembering that many of the beauty spots are often practically on our own doorstep. There is a lot in the papers? these days about the pollution of the River Credit. Well, we live in the Credit Valley now and it is heartbreaking to see so many lovely parks closed to the public" because of polluted waters--pollution that shouldn't be allowed. Yesterday I parked my car behind a garage and noticed an awful stench. Oil wastd had been dumped at the back into a shallow ditch. A very small ditch but eventually it would drain into the Credit . River. At Streetsville a dam pro- vides a limited germ-free area for swimming and what a time the children 'have! One day I saw kiddies from six-to-ten having a mud fight. They scoop- ed mud from the river bed and threw it at each other.

The answer at the mo- ment, according to the country- wide business-analysis firm of Sindlinger & Co., is 6 million more people than have been watching TV. Is this a summertime freak or a growing trend? There is no great meeting of minds in th industry on that answer, bu here is what has been happen- ing: Sihce 1048, when radio was supposed to have started dying "while its kid brother, TV, was growing, the number of radio stations .increased 64 per cent (present number: 3,744). At the end of June, 70 million people were listening to radio and the same number were watching TV. By July 20, radio had picked up 2 million fans and TV had dropped 4 million, Fourteen per cent more net- * work radio time was sold in the first quarter o fthis year than the same quarter of 1956. : The most significant develop- ment jn radio, many people 'in the industry believe, is the growth of the independent sta- tions, They give the local listen- ers a rich diet, of listening mat- ter related to his local interests, which the chains cannot do. Local news is reported on the air almost as fast as it happens. Important, too, is the fact that local people in large numbers go on the air free, rather than as paid performers. A local sta- tion can thrive without spend- ing very-much money. The net- works have their high-priced disk jockeys, but the local stations are saturated with low-priced jockeys. . . Television itself has contribut- ed to the rise in the radio busi- ness, local or network, trade ex- perts believe. Joel Culligan, head of NBC radio, points out that advertisers who spend large sums on TV, supplement this ad- vertising with the inexpensive and much more humerous "spots" available to them on radio -- and the more they deal in TV, the more they supplement on radio. CBS's head of radio programm- ing Howard Barnes, makes the same point: "A single shot on . TV. needs to be backed by widespread coverage on radio." But Barnes and Culligan dis- agree on the significance eof ra- dio's current recovery. Culligan feels radio's popularity 'will con- . tinue in the fall. "A summer fluke," Barnes calls it. "To say radio listeners will. outnumber ~TV-watchers would be foolish." * Robert Eastman, president of ABC radiofi attributes the med- _lum's_ present upswing in part to "showmanship," and adds: "I'm. in favour of stunts." He plans,. in addition, to help the present trend along with plenty of live music. "Soaps and variety are out," he says. "What the house- wife wants is to hear music while she's working. Radio is the only medium that can offer it." He also has great faith in "gazinkus" -- a kind of magnetism. F.D.R. had it. Billy Graham has it." Another who seems to have it is the star of CBS's new, talked- from the water, plastered with mud but gloriously happy. At one time every district had its 'ole: swimmin' hole', The holes are still there--polluted' with waste and foul refuse--and the children are denied their birth- right, for children and clear, cool water belong together. i lines of good that is enclosed with the wed-J~..
