¢ "Dear Anne Hirst: 1 am ter-. ribly jn love with the boy I. expect to marry, but he has a: few bad habits which alarm me -and I hope you can tell me how to break him of them. One is jnking, and the other is speed- iev<dle is 21, 1 am 18, and he has finished his Army service, but I do not think he has really settled down. "We hope to be married in another - year, but I am really afraid to think of it. Do you think he will straighten out and be a reliable husband instead of a drunkard or a hot-rod racer? Shall I wait to see how he turns out? "I certainly need your advice. Please! HELP ME" A RISK For more years than you have lived, various organiza- tions and institutions have stressed the nation-wide need for safer driving. Their influ- ence is far-reaching; it is not considered smart to hot-rod it over the roads, and boys who insist on doing so only show how adolescent they are. Stiff jail sentences are being im- posed; offenders are scorned, and their licenses revoked -- which to any self-respecting young man is the ultimate 'dis- grace. Drinking while driving in-' creases the chance of tragedy. It gives the youth a false sense of power and a determination to pass the car ahead; normal reactions are upset, judgment is impaired, and he becomes a menace to every other driver on the road. There is no escape from the consequences; he is tested for drunkenness, and the punishment is severe and inevitable, Knowing these facts (and it he does not I hope you will tell him) how can a young man deliberately invite such con-_ sequences when his passenger ® is the girl he hopes to marry? ¢ Such irresponsibility is unfor- - ® givable.

I can un. derstand that because his family are looked down on by our neighbors and relatives. Some of ° his relations are in the 'pen,' and others drink. In other words, my mother says they are trash. "This boy isn't like them at all. He is 17, and doesn't drink nor use foul language. He is one of the sweetest boys I know. "Two months ago my mother found I was slipping out and meeting him, She was as sweet" as she could be, but she told me it just wouldn't work out. She is afraid he will Inherit his fam- ily's habits and I would be drag- ged down by being seen with him. "Is she right? I still love him, and I can't date anyone else. JANE" You cannot know whether this boy will inherit his fam- ily's habits. He may be so dis- gusted with them that he will never succumb to such temp- tations, and you and I can only hope for this. Meantime, I agree with your mother. Girls of your age are impressionable and impulsive, and your sympathy for him blinds you to the danger in- volved. If your reputation suf- fers, it would take a long, long time to live it down. Your mother has been more than fair. For your part, prom- ise her you will not see him again until she gives her con- sent, See other nice boys she approves. I agree that it is dreadful that children must suffer for their parents' sins.

The autumn leaves are gorgeous, staying on the trees much longer than usual because of the warm, sunlit days. If ever there was a time for getting out to see the coun- try it is now. Anyway, that is how we felt about it yesterday as we seized what we thought might be our last chance this year for going to the cottage. Probably other folk had the same idea as there was plenty of traffic on the roads. The cot- tage, of course, was pretty chilly but a quick fire soon had the place feeling comfortable--that and a good snack lunch with plenty of hot tea and coffee, and we were soon quite happy. Af- ter that I did the dishes and kept an eye on sleeping Jerry while the rest of the took the boat out on the lake. We sort of take things in turn. Last time Partner stayed home and I went for the boat ride. Before it was time to come home the boys and I went for a walk, Coming back the sun was setting behind the group, of islands bordering the lake. The reflection of sunset and trees in the water was perfect--a pjc- ture I shall see in my mind's eye for some time to come. From our walk I brought back a few seedling evergreens to plant here at home. Incidental- ly IT have been warned that if all the trees grow that I want planted we shall soon have a forest. And I have. not finished yet. I won't be satisfied until we have a few silver birch. A group of three is what I would like and then I'll call it quits. Trees, water, birds and plant life are the basis for beauty anywhere in Ontario. We have trees, birds and plant life but only on a clear day can we see the lake. ' Well, we had plenty of com- pany last week to keep us inter- ested and occupied. A niece and nephew and their two small children from Sudbury were here for part of two days. They didn't intend stopping over- night but there were the beds, ready and waiting, and it didn't take 'us long to hunt up night. attire . to clothe the family. Three-year-old Mike had a pair of sleepers about four sizes too big for him but we tied a string around his middle and he was quite happy. There were plenty of toys for him and Susie to play with so an active, somewhat noisy time was enjoyed by all. One afternoon nephew George * took us to Malton Airport to see in: and out. That pleased the kiddies and grown-ups too. It wasn't too good a day -- foggy = so most of the planes were grounded but we had a good time anyway. Sa family - INGER Gwendoline P.

New Toronto, Ont, - were a house-proud couple any- way so I guess we won't change now, Having children around is more important to us than a spotless house. We only wish we still had. a hundred acres to turn them loose in -- plus cows, chickens and machinery to in- terest them. But at least we have Taffy and Ditto -- and all - the children love them both. We were up to Ginger Farm the other day and found road- work more 'or less at a stand- still in that district. Apparent- ly the Department of Highways 'works in. sections -- grading, paving and building over-passes on new roads but leaving con- necting cloverleaves to the last. The old house looked much the same. The big poplar tree that has been three times struck by lightning has not yet been cut down. The young couple with" their four small children 'who have the house rented think it's just a little bit of heaven-- after being cooped in a small city apartment. But it took ten ton .of coal to keep them warm last winter! Eight ton was the most we ever used. But it Isn't always heaven living on a 'farm -- not with all . the new worries farmers have to contend with these days. We just received a letter from our Shelbourne friends saying their neighbour just across the road - has lost two cows with rabies, Apparently rabies was not even suspected until after the cows had died. Now the farmer and his 'wife are both getting rabies shots and find the after effects __quite painful, had a horse bitten by a rabid fox, Subsequently the horse bit the farmer so now the horse is dead and the farmer in hospi- tal. Rabies was something we ~ didn't even think about when we were farming. Any casual- tiles we had were the result of bloating, accidents or natural causes, We certainly .hope the present rables outbreak will soon be under control. I can't imagine anything more frighten- ing -- especially to people liv- ing in more or less isolated dis- tricts. Losing livestock is bad enough but fear of infection "must be a nightmare. : ~Fate Of Explorer Solved At Last? Has the riddle of what hap- pened to Colonel Percy Faweett, whose disappearance. in the jungles of Brazil's Matto Grosso has kept the world guessing for 33 years, been solved at last? He was killed by one of, seven aboriginal - tribes, according to reports of a British Universities expedition which recently ar- rived at Santiago, Chile. Mem:- bers of the expedition visited Xingu River, where Col. Faw- cett, his son Jack and an Ameri- can disappeared in 1925. They met seven tribes among whom, they sald, there is unanimous consensus of opinion that one of them was responsibte for the "white mag's" death. Bu! no one was able or willing to identify the tribe concerned, More legends have accumulat- ed around the name. of Col. Fawcett than around. that of any other British explorer. It was reported in 1951 that his skeleton had been found, but investiga- * tions revealed no proof that the 'bones were his. In the past there have been theories that the explorers were murdered or taken prisoner by Indians; that they died of fever or starvation, and that they found the "El Dorado" civiliza- tion they were seeking -- and stayed there. One of the seven Indian tribes which spoke: to thd recent ex- pedition about the Fawcett party was the little-known Chavantes, a tribe which has only occasion- ally come into contact with civi- lization. The Chavantes are a strong, wellfed people who live on roots, birds and even monkeys, Another farmer _ this Safer In The Operating Room To the 10,000,000 Americans who will undergo an operation in the next year, news of real sighiificance came from Chicago recently, At the'annual meeting -of the American College ' of Surgeons, more than 10,000 sur- geons met to report scalpel. pro- gress. ranging. from bones to. brains, from eyes to arteries," "Surgery moved with amazing speed in the last year," said Dr. William L. Estes»Jr, 173, of Bethlehem, Pa, the benign, white-haired, retiring president of the ACS. 'Among the surgical advances cited by Dr. Estes were better heart and artery surgery, successful use of hypothermia (cold anesthesia), better pre- . and post-operative patient care, clearer understanding of the body's metabolism, and better surgery in injury. The future of surgery? On turning over the ACS presidency to Dr. Newell W. Phillpot, 56, of Montreal, Bill' Estes could foresee .the solution of the major problems now standing in the way of successful transplanting .of human organs. A significant forward step to- wasd this goal was reported at the ACS meeting by Dr. John > R. Brooks of Harvard Medical School. Tissue of thyroid glands, -protected by the semiporous material, "Millipore", 'has becn transplanted successfully in ani- mals, Dr. Brooks said. Similar- ly «protected thyroid tissues. showed signs of life six weeks. after being transplanted in hum- an beings. - Successful skin grafts from mothers to babies which lasted, - as long as 400 days were describ- : ed by Drs. A, Peer and John C, Walker Jr. of Newark, N.J. Be- fore the transplants, the chil- "dren get intramuscular injections of the mother's blood. = With grafting = technique, the Newark doctors hope to repair. youngsters born without ears and noses and children who have been severely burned. Eventual- ly, they expect to use this graft method in transplanting organs, such as kidneys and thyroid glands. . In another' experiment, Dr. Carlos Martinez and associates of the University of Minnesota have successfully transplanted skin and hormone tissues in lab animals by building up toler ance to the grafts with spleen- cell injections, not later than 24 hours "after birth. Later, the same animals receive -- and hold --skin. tissues, ovaries, and pl- tuitary glands, transplanted from the same adult animals which earlier donated the spleen. A new heart robot that pumps blood for patients undergoing heart surgery was reported by Dr. Gumersindo Blanco of Phil- adelphia. Unlike other mechan- ical hearts, this one makes use of the patient's own lungs, there- by eliminating the danger of deadly air bubbles which can occur when "an artificial-lung machine governs the blood flow for a human being. A small "first aid" version of the classic heart-lung machine that can be put into use in a few minutes for heart-stoppage cases was described by a group "Brother's been studying ine ternational finance--the Left Bahk in Paris, you know." Re aS of New Orleans surgeons headed by Dr. M, Martin Halley. In the accident room at Charity Hos- pital, heart - stoppage victims, massaged unsuccessfully by hand for 40 to 60 minutes, have been restored to vigorous heart action by -the doctor's "pump" treat-:. ment. Animal experiments with an electronically operated "second sheart", which can take over as much as 25 per cent nf the work of an impaired natural heart, were reported by Drs. Adrian Kantrowitz and William Me- Kinnon 'of Brooklyn, N.Y, The auxiliary heart is made of, pieces of the diaphragm fashioned into a muscular pump which is wrapped around the aorta, the large blood vessel feeding the heart. A tiny radio receiver encased in Lucite is implanted inside the body. On the outside, a radio transmitter about the size of a portable transistor radio translates the natural heartbeats into a radio wave and relays the impulses to the radio receiver in the mad-made heart. To date the Brooklyn surgeons have not tried the powerful "booster" 'heart on human beings. --From NEWSWEEK Two patients at an asylum passed the swimming pool early in the morning.
