"It he were dependable I'd marry him tomorrow. He is even spreading the news that we're engaged -- when he hasn't even proposed! What can you do with a boy like that?

He double-crossed you with your best friend; she was as guilty, but that does not lessen his deceit. He swears his love, then when he plans to take you anywhere he doesn't show up. He spreads the story of your coming mar- riage, and he hasn't even asked you, ® oF 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 The emotions you arouse in him are superficial, or he would see you every chance he had, taking you out, show- ing you off, building, up that confidence which every girl needs to feel for the boy she loves. He has no regard for the deeper qualities, no thought for anything but to- day's pleasure when he can en- joy your friendship and your love. You couldn't live with him for long, you know; yo certainly could not expect him to cherish and protect you Within a year you probably would be so disillusioned you would wish you had never met him. Your only escape from this painful situation is to send him away for good. You deserve a man finer than he is. If you will list all the qualities that make a good husband, you will see that he lacks almost every one. Wake up, before you waste any more time and step off the deep end. * ® PB 9 ® BF RH EF 8 ew eo ® 8 FE EP eRe OE ee ee es Ee ee * * SUMMER PROBLEM "Dear Anne Hirst: Our sum- mers are lovely out here, and 1 love to garden. We have been married nearly a year, and my husband will not allow me to wear shorts -- yet he can't pass a girl who does without turning his head for a second look. "I shouldn't let this little habit infuriate me, but I can hardly keep still about it. Of course, he just laughs! ANGRY NOW" * Men are just about as in- consistent as they say women are. Some prohibit their wives from using make-up, cutting their hair or wearing revealing clothes, but the same men can't keep eyes front when other women makes the most of their charms. Why? Because they don't like their wives to attract other males. . Why dignify the subject by comment?

Paddon could make house calls to his patients 4,000 Eskimos, Indians, and white settlers scattered along Labrador's northern coast--only by dog sled and snowshoes, Then the Grenfell Mission sup- plied him with an airplane and a bush pilot, and a plodding world gave way to amazing speed for Dr. Paddon. In Chicoga recently to tell the annual meeting of the National Tuberculosis Association the de- tails of his dramatic, ten-year fight to stamp out TB (and other diseases) in his district, the husky, 44-year-old Dp. Pad- don said the longest regular flights on his rounds is about 350 miles -- a matter of two hours' flying time. "I made the same rounds for ten years on snowshoes, with a dog sled," he smiled wryly. "Putting one foot in front of another, it measures 800 miles, and it used to take me five weeks." But, with a shrug of his broad shoulders, Dr. Paddon dismissed the hazards and hardships of the life of a Labrador doctor. He was raised in Labrador and is now director of the Grenfell Mission Hospital at North West River. His father had been a director of this same hospitai; his mother, now 71, was award- ed the Order of the British Em- pire for running it singlehand- SMART SUE -- Susan Bagby, 21-year-old "Miss Dallas," is a journalism and English major at Southern Methodist Univer- sity in the Texas city She's in Phi Beta Kappa, top schulastic honor society. ed during the second world war, When the young Dr. Paddon, after serving in the Canadian Navy, returned to Labrador in 1945, he found the health of the hatives bad and getting worse. The U.S. Air Force had set up a base at Goose Bay, and it had brought in measles and influenza. These viruses, rare in Labrador, "lighted up the old TB infections and left a trail of new ones" among the weakened natives. Dr. Paddon's job was to diag- nose and isolate the TB cases that were infecting -the rest of the population. In the summer of 1948, a hospital boat, newly fitted with X-ray equipment, began 'docking alongside north- ern villages, and chest X-rays soon became "a social event." Persuading the natives to ac- cept hospitalization was another matter: Experience had taught them that only a lonely death far from home awaited them in the hospitals to the south. Dr. Paddon's solution: He left the badly infected but recalci- trant patients in their homes and concentrated instead on younger, lcss advanced cases. "Psychologically, we needed a few successful . results to ex- hibit," he explained. In Chicago, Dr. Paddon took stock of the results: In ten years, he said, the TB death rate has dropped from belween 406 and 900 per 100,000 deaths, to 30 per 100,000.

ICLES INGERFARM by Gwendoline P.Clatrke Of course everybody knows the bluebird is an omen of hap- piness, and last week, you may remember, we nad a bluebird on our acre lot. Well, that little bird must surely have got his signals crossed because last week wasn't exactly the happiest we've known. And all on ac- count of blackflies. When we were up at Ginger Farm three weeks ago Partner got a few bites on his forehead. They were itchy but no worse than bites usually are. Two weeks later a big hard lump came up in front of one ear. The swelling spread into Partner's neck and up to one eye. The other side of his face was also getting stiff and numb. A visit to the doc- tor was definitely indicated. Di- agnosis . . . secondary infection from the bites. Treatment , . daily injections of penicillin and various drugs by mouth. -I'm telling you, Partner looked a mess. However, the treatment soon began to take efiect and as the swelling subsided the in- fection became localized to the two priginal bites and they be- - gan 'to look something like 2 boil. However, there is still enough swelling to give Part- ner's nose a queer looking slant. The nose starts out running north and south but the tip is pointing east or west, according to which way he's looking. While Partner was having his little bout with infection I developed a rotten cold -- tonsilitis and summer colds seem to be quite prevalent just now. Other events last week were of a happier nature. One day we had callers -- neighbours when we were at Ginger Fafm. They came to warn us we were going to be neighbours again. "Neigh- bours", 1 exclaimed, "what do you mean?" "Just what I said We have sold our farm and have bought a house in that subdi- vision just across the road fron you." Well, that was a surprise. course we had to go and/see the house -- in the much sized Credit Woodlands. It} is a wonderful house, but not/quite finished. Split level, four-piece main bathroom, two-piece wash- room off the master bedroom, shower and washroom in the basement and a sink in the reec- reation room. Time was when we were glad, to have a bath- room at all, Now a one-bathroom house is completely out of date. O! course this lovely house was on the usual small lot and when we all came back here I thought I detected a look of envy in our neighbours' eyes as we walked around our spacious lot. How- ever, it all depends on what a person wants. I guess we would rather be a small toad in a big puddle than a big toad in wu small puddle. Our friends may have quite "a "different reason for locating where they have. Incidentally the fact- that our former neighbours ' have sold their farm means that ou: faithful old Rusty must be adopt: ed by get another family. There are several farmers who wan! him so.I guess he will always he sure of a gdod home. Another event this wee was a sign ol better things to come 1] for this district. Trucks and a township crane came along the road unloading pipes in prep- aration for the installation of a township water system some- time this year. It won't be too" soon for some our neighbours as quite a number of wells went dry last year. Our well lasted out all right but we shall put the water in just the same -- might as well when we shall be taxed a certain amount for it anyway. However, we hope to work out some kind of a scheme so we can keep our well-water for the garden. Won't it be a thrill to throw water around should water restrictions be im- posed by the township! We certainly need to think about water for the garden as we seem to be in a dry belt around here. Often when there is rain everywhere else we are left sitting high and dry. That was particularly true last week -- rain lots of places but not enough to go around so we got just a sprinkle. However, the garden is growing in spite of it. Yesterday Partner put in tomato plants and next week he will likely put in a second sowing of everything. The shrubs we bought are doing fine. I am par- ticularly pleased with my "Per- sian Lilac". Leaves much smaller than the common lilac with flower spikes a lovely deep, rich mauve. We also put in a cherry tree and a harvest apple. But oh dear, what a long time it takes to get a tree established and really start growing. Trees we put in last year seem hardly to have moved at all. But still in the long run we shall likely be farther ahead than one of our neighbours and his wife. Anxious for quick results they dig up and bring home -- from dear knows where -- trees and shrubs much bigger than any we have got. They have the poor things planted inside of five minutes and in about two weeks they are dead. Last fall they moved six healthy evergreens from one side of the garden to the other. They all died, Even if a 'tree survives it seems to me every time it is moved a year's growth is lost. Perhaps that does not apply if the tree-moving job is done by experts. As we are not experts we transplant trees when they are small and then wait for them to grow. A slow process, it's true, but it's less heartbreaking than seeihg them wither and die. "Only God can make a tree" but mankind can certainly do a thorough job of killing them off .upon occasion. Child's Kiss Saves Her Father's Life Picking up an axe, the furious farm worker crept stealthily to- wards the middle-aged, steward of the estate where he was tem- porarily employed. i He hated the steward. Twice ~ within a few hours the man had reprimanded him for slack-. ness. These rebukes had enraged him so much that he deter- mined to ill the steward at the first opporunity. His chance came when he found him during the midday break sitting with his 13-year- old daughter, little knowing that a young man with murder in his heart was creeping up behind him When the young man got within striking distance, he glanced round to make sure he was unobserved, then aimed a blow at the steward's head. But exactly at that moment the steward's little daughter lifted up her face for a kiss, Her father bent forward to kiss her -- and the axe missed his head by inches. A child's kiss had saved a man's life, - Dumfounded, the. would-be - killer fled. He was arrested an hour later. Thesemsare scores of strange and%énsational stories connect- ed" with kissing, For example, a Connecticut husband was granted a divorce because his wife had been "cruel" in kiss- ing him aiter she had been kiss- ing her pet mice! Marie, a beauty 'born of noble Russian parents, enjoyed kissing and encouraged men who attracted her to kiss her pro- fusely. As she grew to woman- hood, she 'acquired ' more and more lovers, but quickly tired of them. Then she met a young man who told her, passionately, that her kisses were "like rare wine and much more intoxicat- ing." She eloped with him, only to begin an intrigue shortly afterwards with his brother, who soon ended his own life in despair when he found her fail- ing to respond to his kisses. Next, unknown to her hus- band, who had. persuaded her to return to him, she bewitch- ed with her kisses a handsome guards officer. A week later she began tiring of him and con- ceived a subtle plan to rid her- self of him. % A carefully timed note in- formed her husband where she was dining with this latest lover and as she heard him approach them, she pressed her lips pas- sionately to her lover's mouth. That kiss had the effect she desired. Her husband drew his revolver and killed her lover. Even then"this kiss-crazy wo- man was not content. For the sake of her kisses, an amorous lawyer embezzled his clients' money, only to be discarded in favour of a prince and a count who both found her lips irre- sistible. The count was persuaded to insure his life in her favour for $60,000. That idsurance sealed his fate. The heartless Marie begged the prince to shoot the count whom, she alleged, had ill-treated her. The bargain with _ - the prince was sealed with a lingering kiss and one more tragedy stood to the account of this "modern vampire," as she was called last century, One July day in 1923, Nathan Kessler -- if that really was his name -- lay dead in Movamen-- sing Prison, Philadelphia, the victim of a poisoned kiss. A tall, beautifully dressed but heavily veiled young wo- man wearing many diamonds had driven earlier to the pri- son, saying she was a relative of "Kessler." She was permit- ted to talk to him' through the bars of his cell. "What words passed between the couple may never be - known," wrote a reporter. "The prison turnkey, though watch- ful, stood out of earshot. "On taking leave of the con. vict, who had been convicted of a theft of jewellery, the wo- man slowly lifted her veil and imprinted on the prisoner's" lips a long, ardent kiss. "He turned, staggered to his bed and collapsed upon it, his face buried in his arms, Gover- ing her face once more, the mysterious visitor walked away, ave Ww . seem awed sobbing. The sympathetic wap der went with her to the gat and she drove olf, "Later, 'Kessler' was found dead. Between his lips was 1 screw of discoloured cigarettt paper. The prison doclor found this impregnaied vio; 8 dea poison. Its effect had bee practically instantaneous. Hi visitor's identity is a mystery.' It remained that way .'. . Kisses has been known ta cause accidents, Returning homi one evening, a lovestruck Atlanta business man saw hl wife sitting in an armchair and impetuously sat down on he: lap and kissed her rapturously. The result was disastrous. Hae found he had broken her right leg. In Budapest a pretty, fair haired girl brought an action against her young man for what she called "negligent kissing." The girl alleged that he kissed her so violently when they met after dark in a lqcal park that her jaw was fractured. { And a young man who took his girl friend to a Californian cinema and put his arm round her suddenly yelled in agony when the lights went up. He had dislocated his shoulder. In Scotland there's a charm- ing young woman who will never forget what happened when her sweetheart, a hefty six-footer, kissed her good night after they had been to.a dance. She fainted, The young man called a doctor, who discovered that the girl's nose was broken. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q. Is there any excuse at all for a girl's appearing on the street or in public with her hair done up in pin curls? A. I think this is in very poor taste. If she absolutely musi ap- pear this way, she can try con- cealing her lack of preparation with a. scarf of some kind over the pin curls -- but even then, she can hardly be classed as a "well-groomed girl." Q. When the folded napkin is laid on the left side of the plate, should the open edge be toward the plate or away from it? A, Toward the plate.
