[ANNE HIRST | Your family (buniselot "Dear 'Anne Hirst: My sweet- heart was ordered overseas last - fall, and wanted us to get mar- ried before he left, We bought the ring, and made arrang.- ments with our pastor. Then he called up and said to forget it --he couldn't get enough time off, "Just two weeks ago I had a letter from abroad, .and iis wants to break our engagement! (His letters had become morc scarce but I didn't worry). I told his family, and they wouldn't believe it. Because my parents had been helping us so generously with our plans, I can't bear them to know this. I wrote him at once, asking if there was another girl. He re- plied 'No' -- but what could I do if there were? "So it sounds like somebody else. "I simply can't let him go, Anne Hirst, I love him too much. I haven't looked at an- other man since we got en- gaged. I would do anything to get him back, but if I admit we're through everybody will make fun of me. Yet should I give him up? BROKEN-HEARTED" HE GAVE YOU UP * I am afraid you must face * the cruel truth: It is not a question of giving up the young man, it is he who has broken the engagement. Tell your parents and your pastor immediately; they will be shocked, but not at you, at him. They will help you through. Why admit to friends that you've been jilted? Simply say you have changed your mind and would rather not talk about it. Whether there is another girl involved or not, there is no getting the lad back. He had made up his mind. Now call on your self-respect, and hold your head high. Look up boys you used to know _and_ date them; whether you want to or not, it will soothe your hurt feelings and restore your self-confidence. I am sorry. I know how im- possible it seems to change your plans for the future you hoped to sperd with him. But your attitude now will show what you are, a girl of char- acter who shows the rest of her world how a lady behaves under stress. * * * "DOES HE LOVE ME?"

One night he admitted he was the 'nearest to marriage' he'd ever been, but I've heard -other boys say things like that and not mean a thing. "He only sees me once a week, because he goes to night school regularly. His father died last year, and he has a mother and sister .to look alter. He is bashful but he's the set- tled type, too.

That's the advice of police and fire de- partment representatives who have taken time out to visit schools to promote safe play habits. Children can pick up a handful of trouble at building* project sites. Take blasting caps for in- stance. Blasting caps are essen- tial tools in much construction work but when mishandled by children, who could mistake them for firecrackers or empty rifle cartridges, these -innocent-look- ing cylinders can cause serious injuries. Officials advise children to stay away from places where build- ing is going on -- an organized playground has much safer fun to offer. However, if a stray blasting cap should be found, children are told to keep "hands off". There are two main types of blasting caps: non-electric for use with safety fuse, and those set off electrically. The, type for use with safety fuse Is about 1!% inches long and about the thickness of a pencil. It has one open end and is made of aluminum. Electric blasting cap shells are made of either copper or aluminum and may vary from one to five inches in length, They have two colored wires attached. Open flame, shock, friction, undue heat or rough handling can cause detonation of these caps. The police or some other authority who can dispose of the blasting cap safely should be notified immediately one is found. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q, When someone whom you have just met says, "I am so glad to have met you," isn't a smile In acknowledgement suf- ficient? . A. No; this would seem to, have a condescending air ab ui it. It is much better to accom pany the smile with a "thank you." Q. When a man is in the eto. vator of an office building, und & woman acquaintance enf:>:s, should he remove his hat? A. He should lift his hat in greeting, but etiquette does not require that he remove his hat in a business elevator, Q. Does a person really have to give a reason for declining an invitation? A. would seem much better than an abrupt "no." If one were merely to say, "No, I can't come," it would indicate a lack of appreciation of the in- vitation, and even an unwilling. ness to continue the friendship. Tiddlywinks No Game For Sissies "Tiddlywinks Is a game for four players, those who play op- posite each other being partners, The aim_.of the game is to flick the winks into the pot." In the"quick wake of the sche- duling .of the tiddlywink match between the undisputed tham- pion of the British Isles, Cam- bridge University, and the Uni- versity of Chicago, a number of significant reactions have been recorded in the Windy City. For one, the university's stu- dent paper has 'devoted a half page of its paper to printing the international rules of tiddlywinks =--from which the aforementioned definition of the game is taken. At the same time, Rochelle Dubnow, editor of the paper -- the Maroon--hinted at the type of unexpected opposition the Cambridge aggregation may have to face here next September.' "We find nothing in the rules that prohibits young women from taking part," Miss Dubnow sald. "Although sporting codes are customarily thrown to the winds in tiddlywinks competition," she sald, "we suspect the long tradi- tion of British gallantry toward women may prove too much for even these battle-hardened vet- erans, ' "And one show of gallantry may cost them the match." At the same time the univer- sity's director of athletics, Wal- ter L. Hass, scoffed at the idea that tiddlywinks is a '"sissy's sport." He grimly pointed out that there were "split thumb- nails, flying winks which threat- en players and spectators alike." He said that "these are the con- siderable hazards of the game." "TARIPIRING" -- Eleven-year- old Judy Glassburner, daugh- ter of an American professor at the University of Indonesia, performs the "airpiring," of plate dance, in Jakarta. Her performance was part of a lo- cal celebration, Mr. Hass then volunteered the facilities of Stagg Field, the Field House, and Bartlett Gym to tid- dlywink players who want to get back in top form. He indicated the coaching staff of the univer- sity would be available on an ad- visory basis, writes Godfrey Sperling Jr. in The Christian Science Monitor. "Cambridge, naturally, will have the advantage of experi- ence," he said, "but we'll be play- ing on home ground, always an important factor." The nature of the Cambridge University challenge has also been divulged. In the letter sent to the University of Chicago by Frank G. Kershaw, honorary secretary of the Cambridge Tid- dlywinks Club, this rather rough remark was made: "We feel sure," Mr. Kershaw said, "that you will be keen to take part." The first Chicago reaction was that this was taking a great deal for granted. 'On second thought university authorities marked up this rather blunt letter to youthful impetu- osity, sharpened to razor keen- ness by the urge to do tiddly battle. And thus the threat of an _ "incident," right dt the outset of Cambridge-Chicago athletic re- lations, was ended before it could do any real damage. Meanwhile, official academic reaction to the tiddly' match has been taking shape. Harold Haydon, dean of stu- dents, had this to say: "While other college students cram themselves into telephone booths, the trunks of sports cars, and municipal trash baskets, Uni- versity of Chicago students will continue to seek international contacts of distinction." He warned, however, that only students who maintain the uni- versity's high scholastic stand. ards will be eligible, - fo IT'S NOTHIN', DAD -- From the looks of things, Clifford Edwards is far more concerned about his 3.year-old daughter's two- storey fall than she is.

Clarke If you are not interested in, dogs you hadn't better bother to -read my column today. If you are then you will at least tolerate it. You see, one night last week we had unexpected callers -- the people from whom we bought our Welsh Corgi--Taffy. . And I am sure Taffy knew them --he nearly went wild with ex- citement. Personally I don't be- lieve a dog ever forgets people he has known for any length of time. Mrs. T. knelt on the floor and watched Taffy as he ran from one of the other. "Isn't he beautiful!" she exclaim- ed, "and so exactly like his fa- ther I" We couldn't help being amused -- it always strikes us as funny the attitude dog breeders take towards the dogs they have raised, We like our Taffy but there was sheer adoration in Mrs. T's eyes as she watched him. We know other dog breeders who act the same way. Mrs. M. who raises German Shepherds; Phyl- lis ¥. and her Irish setters--all of them prize-winning show dogs. Mrs. T. thought our Taffy should be shown 'too. Well, he may have "all the necessary qualifications but I told her showing him is the last thing I would ever want to do. I just .couldn't be bothered. But I told her if she wanted to take on the job it was all right with me. So that's the way we left it. In the meantime Taffy is leading a normal dog's life. He is having a wonderful time now the snow 'has gone, just chasing around in his pen, trying to get at the cat who teases' him by staying on the outside of the fence. He is getting more intelligent all the time. Inside our.back door six steps go down to the basement and six steps go up to the kit- chen.Taffy always waits to see which way we want him to go-- and that depends upon whether he is clean or dirty -- that, too, depends on the weather. Isnt this a grand time for hockey fans? iWho would have thought a couple of months ago that the Maple Leafs would climb out "of the cellar ana make the play-offs? So far they haven't done foo well against > Montreal -- as I write the score is 2-0 in the finals. But you never know -- 'the Lea's might come through yet, It is - going to be a wonderfully thrilling series anyway no mat- ter which team you and 1 hope . will win. But for sheer ex- citement I 'thought . the last game between Toronto and 'Boston was really tops. Both Partner 'and I love to watch hockey '-- I 'have. even been arranging my social activities 50 as not to conflict with hockey nights, Even 50 I manage to work in the annual meeting' a the W.I, a quilting at the' W.A. and a few hours at the Home- | maker's Show in Toronto, If you want any special informa- tion about anything connected 'with home building or home furnishings it is a good place - houses to go, otherwise it is pretty much the same one year to an- other, ' Of course the Federal budget was another highlight last week. Ndturally no one likes the "increase in taxation but I guéss most people realize that we can't have soclal sécurity and the services we demand with- out paying for them. We. expect ° our township taxes will also.be. higher as we are expecting wa- ter mains to be laid in the not too distant future. Surveying has already been done. According to present indica- tions this is going to be a year of great activity. Tree-cutting is already in progress at Gin- ger Farm to make room for the clover)eaf. 'Our lovely trees . it is almost heartbreaking to think of them being levelled 'to the ground. In all the years we were on the farm Partner would never cut down a living tree, no matter how badly we needed firewood. The trees: were also protected when hydro wires were first strung along the road. At that time hydro poles were placed well inside. our front field instead of on the road allowance so as not to disturb the trees. Now, at last, they have all been sacri- ficed. The same thing is hap- pening in many places along the Queen E. in preparation for widening' the highway, and also along the Dundas. One thing around here has surprised us very much. We thought when Avro folded up many houses would be for sale and the owners be forced to take a loss. Also that the would be hard td sell. 'Well, there are houses on the market all right but they are selling like hot cakes. Houses that have been for sale for some time have now been sold. Two houses near us had been' listed only two weeks when they were sold. We can't un- derstand it but there it is. Well, we have a dog kennel that Taffy won't use maybe we can make a deal on that!

That was the Innocent intention of three young British soldiers on leave in Kure, Japan, in January, 1954, at the end of the Korean war, But they lost control, got drunk on rum in a dive, became aggressive, and were flung out by "two leering Japs. ; Inflamed by the liquor and the need to be revenged on someone for the rough handling, they saw a prostifute, and, "after arguing the matter, decided to attack and rob her. As she tried to dart off they jumped on her. Signalman Graham Nicholls found a broken brick in hi§ hand and crashed it down on her head. She dropped in a huddle, moan- ing, then began shrieking, "M.P.! .M.P.! Thieves!" He grabbed money from her bag and the three made off. The other two were William Dreslin, from Dublin, and William McKeragh- an, from Glasgow. It was a senseless crime for a paltry 800 yen--$2.00. And it had grave results, For the Japs: now had the right to try and punish British servicemen for crimes .. committed outside their: bases. Interrogation in barracks focussed on the three men as suspects. Blood-stained frousers were found under Nicholls's bed. He pleaded that he had cut him- self in a fall some time previous- ly, and the cut had healed. But there was evidence enough to Justify handling the men over to the Japanese police. Be Gordon Thomas and Ronald Hutchinson tell the whole dra- matic story in "Turn By The Window."_The trio were taken, handcuffed, to police H.Q., raked separately with questions in the hope that they would incriminate each other. ~ : "Each o6ne was framed to blacken my case further," Nich- olls says. "Wasn't I responsible for attacks on other women in Kure? Hadn't I arranged to stay * in Japan. to profit out of the local populace? Over and over again the same questions were thrust at me, slowly clogging ny mind and making it diffcult to think clearly." He was even taken from prison to hospital to confront the wo- "man. lylng In bed, bandaged," looking deathly, with two old -people--evidently her parents-- _ sitting by. The old couple began shouting at him, all three screeched at him, "Why you do it, soldier?" she asked at last. And Nicholls could say nothing. Under Dre of this kind the three decided to plead guilty after appearing before the Chief Procurator, who acted as prose: cutor, magistrate and coroner, and allowed for-no doubt as to their guilt. Eventually they were tried by three judges--so forbidding that Nicholls christened them Lofty, Flint-face and Ugly.

Stopped Short By The Press There is nothing so commonly used for wrapping articles as a plece of newspaper, and who would think of trying to identity one copy when millions - are, printed? : Last summer an old man was found dead in Cornwall; he had been battered with a stone wrap- ped in newspaper. The newspa- per was one of the national dailies, and the police made in- quiries at the newspaper office because an issue would contain information which might be val- uable. The Ruxton. case was a classic example. Dr. Buck Ruxton, who lived at Lancaster, had many quarrels with his wife, and after Septem- ber 14th, 1935, she disappeared with her maid. Ruxton said they had gone off on holiday. Later the dismem- remains of parts of two women were found in a ravine " near Moffat in Scotland, Some of the remains were wrapped in newspaper, and one of the news- papers was dated September 15, 1035. - The police made inquiries and found that only a limited num- ber of this particular edition ~ had 'been printed, and it had ~ only been circulated in Lancas. ter ; Do you want a greater understanding of the -Bibley Hear Bible fundamentals discussed en "THIS 18.
