"I am in love with a wonder- ful man. He is 32. He is so much more interesting than any of the - boys I've known. He's been in Europe and all over, and I just sit and listen and I'm so thrilled that he pays any attention to me that I just about worship him. "All the family respect him a __lot--but they won't give their consent to our marriage now. If I wait till I'm 21, they promise to. "Anne Hirst, 1 just can't wait that long! Wouldn't it be all right to run away and get mar- ried? 1 know he will do any- thing I want, and I want that. But I thought I ought to ask somebody first. Please say yes!

Blest by her pastor, glowing with good wishes, she embarks upon her new life with su- preme confidence in her mate and the love she knows will last as long as she lives. It is the most solemn mo- ment she has ever known, and with all her heart and soul she dedicates herself to her hus- band's happiness. Compare this saered scene with the elopement that tempts you today. Sneaking out of your parents' home, driving madly about to find a justice of the peace who will go through the motions the law demands and you find your- self the wife of a man you hardly know. . . and what then? You must creep back and confess to your parents the thing you have done. They will be shocked beyond words, and you will be sick with shame--and this shame is the beginning of a marriage that should" be consecrated in dig- nity nd honor. The contrast between these two pictures is not the only reason your parents ask that you wait." Three years will prove whether your love is real, or you are only blinded by the man's sophistication. You will grow to know each other better, learn the man's faults and virtues, find out how to bring out the best in you both. When that happens, you will be really ready to marry, or you will know that what you feel is not the love of a lifetime. - Three years will prove, too, whether you, now 18, will mature sufficiently to find complete companionship with a man nearly twice your age, or whether the difference in your ages is really important.

In this case it is one that could add substantially .to the world's sources of electric power. The breakthrough is develop- nrent of what appears to be a practical fuel cell. The latter is a kind of battery that generates electricity from the reaction of gases such as hydrogen and oxygen that are fed into it. Unlike conventional batteries, its power producing potential is 'not limited -to its initial charge. Instead, like a rcombustion en- gine, it can run indefinitely as long as fuel in the form o! the reacting gases is fed into-it. This kind of electrical geneY- ator has been an engineer's dream for decades. A number of research teams around the world have been tryling to develop a successful prototype. However; the going has been tough. Only recently, a summary of Amer- ican work in this field ended with the conclusiion that a suc- cessful fuel was many research years in the future. Now Britain appears to have broken the technological bar- rier. The fuel cell's inventor, Fran- cis T. Bacon, has been working ° on the project for more than 20 years. He and other experts be- lieve the apparatus may eventu- ally free transportation from de- pendence on oil 'and coal, writes Peter Lyne in the Christian Sci- ence Monitor." Buses and trucks would spged noiselessly without leaving a trail of fumes: electric trains could operate without overhead wires or live rails. The United States is said to be particularly interested in the project as a means of providing power for light and long-lasting transmitters in rockets and space ships, and also reserve power in nuclear submarines. Meanwhile, the United States is being touted here as likely to take the lead in commercial- izing Britain's so-called 'magic box." The electricity producing fuel cell has just been demon- strated for the first time in pub- lic at Cambridge, England, at the works of Marshall of Cam- bridge Electronics, Ltd. Britain is said to have spent about $280,000 on the project so far. But American concerns ae said to be spending about 20 times as much on the next stage of its development. At the Cambridge demonstra- tion, Dennis Hennessey, deputy managing director of the British Government-sponsired National Research Development Corpora- tion, which is sponsoring the cell in Britain, told a gathering of newspapermen and others, "We are not selling out to America. They will feed back the informa- tion they gain for the benefit of . British industry." - This means that the cell's fu- ture is seen as a joint Anglo- American venture, It should be emphasized that the fuel cell is still in the de- velopmental stage, although its feasibility appears to have been demonstrated. The fuel cell demonstrated at Cambridge is rather bulky and awkward to handle. However, it is expected that the size can be reduced enough to power vehi- - cles such as buses, trains, or trucks. Making it small enough for passenger automobiles is considered rather ambitious at this stage. If successfully developed com- mercially, the fuel cell would offer another way to generate electricity from chemical fuel. If gases from coal could be used this would have an added advantage of easing demand on petroleum fuels in coal-rich, but oil-short areas. The efficiency of the new cell's "electricity production is consid- ered high. In its present form it delivers 2% kilowatts at 32 volts. A reduction in the volume of the control equipment is a main requirement. It is thought that equipment one-fifth to one- tenth the present size shouid ultimately be possible. The club members were crack- ing' jokes, One asked if anyone knew the difference between a Scotsman and a coconut. No one did. "Well," said the member, "you can always get a drink out'of a coconut." "Pardon me," spoke up a new . member; "but 1 happen to be a Scotsman. Would you like a drink.?" "Why, yes, thank you," was the reply. "Well, then," said the Scet, "go and buy yourself a coconut."

INGER FARM Gwendoline P.Clathe Farmers 'are throuph with their harvest; holiday folks are home from the cottage; children are back to school; the C.N.E. is over--and the weather, at last, is normal. What more could anyone ask? : Dee, Arthur and the boys were here last night -- the first time we had seen David, Eddie and | They Gerald for two months. all looked well and had plenty to talb about, especially "Dave. Eddie's winning ways are still apparent. "I like you, Grand- ma," says he, as he followed me into the kitchen. Jerry is still belligerent, determined to get what he wants in spite of every-" thing and everybody. Thank goodness his parents now realize he can't be treated as a baby any longer . . . he will be two next month. So they act accord- ingly. Loud howls of frustra- tion. from Jerry are the inevit- able result, They all show signs of battle against mosquitoes and poison ivy and they have a standing joke against Dee who cast anchor from the motorboat a short distance from shore and then fell backwards into the lake while trying to raise the anchor out of the mud.. Cousin Betty. reported all she saw was a pair of legs in the air. Just recently I have had quite a stint of baby-sitting. Our next door neighbour came over in a hurry last Saturday--brought his five months old son with him. Would I look after the baby and could he borrow our car--his wife had gone shopping and locked her keys in the car, hence an S.0.S. to hubby to go and rescue her. This morning an- other neighbour had an appoint- ment with her doctor. Husband was working overtime there was the usual baby prob- lem. In this case the baby raises Cain with most of the available neighbours except me so I pack- ed mother and baby into the car and off we went to the doctor's. Could be there are drawbacks to being popular with children. Maybe that popularity will even- tually extend to' our youngest You may remember our session with him a few weeks .ago when he cried con- tinuously for two and a half hours. Since then baby-sitting for him has neither been re- quested nor offered. But don't make any mistake, we still think he 'is 'a - lovely baby--at least when his mother is around. Last 'week 1 was bemoaning the fact that I couldn't go to Ottawa on account of what 1 thought was shingles or prickly heat. It was neither, but a drug rash. Seems some of us have an internal mechanism like an old car--fix one thing and something else goes wrong. However, dur- ing the time I should have been in Ottawa we had another spell of ninéty-degree weather so 1 that 1 was more comfortable at home anyway. Several days two of our neighbours who couldnt stand the heat of their. own homes any longer came and spent the afternoons in our basement, where we had™a cup of tea i ~euiint beust a recreaticn room ' and, couldn't get home--so of™¢oirse the fact' but it is cool and I have part of it curtained off. And then, wouldn't you know, AFTER the weather changed our electric stove® gave up the ghost. And of course it had to be on a Saturday night, after six o'clock. It was nine before I could get any response to emergency calls. 1 had visions of a cold; coffee- less: breakfast Sunday "morning and maybe a cold lunch. How- ever, -our very obliging: plumber came to the rescue, put in a new cartridge fuse and then we were - able to boll, bake or fry to our heart's content. Actually I wasn't too. worried. We c still use the electric kettle and cogs can be coddled very nicely if left in boiling water for five minutes. When conveniences break down I think we should 'accept the oc- casion as .a challenge to our ingenuity. Nothing is so bad but what it could be worse. I hate the thought of being absolutely dependent upon modern conven- fences. We need a breakdown shake us out of our co 1placent acceptance of all that we take for granted. Mrs. Dorothy P., 1 enjoyed your letter and got a great kick out of your baby-sitting experi- ences. Thanks for advice about F.M. radios. At the moment I find out what it has to offer in the way of programmes. It is "wonderful not being told what to take for an up-set stomach; what soap to use to get things really white and how to find out way, an F.M. set would be a means of escape from T.V. west- erns. Partner and I agree about music and drama--and education- al features--but I aml a long way from liking his westerns. As for wrestling, 1 feel every hammer- ~lock and every twist of the muscles that are shown on the T.V. wrestling bouts. When they are on I can't concentrate on same room. But with radio it is working, reading or writing. This Worm Thinks in services once in awhile to - have one on approval, just to, "where the yellow went", Any- | anything else--if I 'am in the a pleasing accompaniment to With Both Ends A flatworm, James V. Me- Connell learned when he was 8 graduate student, is a "gather magic sort of beast." Cut an "inch-long, mud-brown specimen into two pieces and a couple of 'weeks later you will have not one dead worm but two live wiggling ones -- the old tail grows a new head and the old head grows a new tail. This is the well-known phe- nomenon 'of ' regeneration, com- mon to salamanders, newts, and ° starfishés, But here the worm tale turns complicated. McConnell, who received his - doctorate in psychology and joined the University of Michi. gan faculty, continued study- ing flatworms with a classic stimulation-response apparatus. A, water-filled trough is fitted at each end with electrodes and topped by two 100-watt light bulbs. A flatworm is put in the trough; the light bulb flashes and an 'electric shock pulses through the water, 'causing the worm to contract. Usually in _ less than 300 trials, the worm "learns" to contract (response) as soon as a bulb flashes even without the expected - electric shock (stimulus). or ; Surprisingly, when the worm was cut .into two, and. then al- lowed to regenerate, the tai) retained almost as much of the response lesson as the head, where + the rudimentary but measurable central nerve gang- lia, or "brain," is located. "Then, McConnell reported re- cently to the American Psycho- logical Association, Miss Reeva - Jacobson, a. 21-year-old senior honors student took. over. She cut a 'flatworm in half, threw away the tail and conditioned only the head. Then she let the head grow a new tail. This, sec- ond-generation flatworm was cut into two and the separate halves each allowed to regen- erate into complete worms. Now came the key conditioning - test: Bulbs flashed and the two "grandchildren" worms both showed retention of the learn- ed response. This was not to- tally unexepcted in the worm on the right -- it, after all, possess-. ed thé original brain. But -how was the - ormance of the worm on the left, made of en-' tirely reformed tissue, to be ex- plained? : McConnell conjectured that "some - sort of chemical condi- tioning may take place" which can be transmitted to succeed- ing generations. If this .should prove to be true for men as well as worms (and there seems * to be no reason why it shouldn't be), then memory and learn- ing would éppear to have a chemical, inherited basis. It may well be that in the schools of: the future, students will facill=:" tate their ability to retain in- formation with chemical injec- tions. -- From NEWSWEEE Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q.

Q Is it proper to take your Hunt For Ancient Hairy Ape Men A five-man Australian expedi. tion, headed by Dr. John Prineas of Sydney, is to track down a tribe of "hairy ape men," salf to be running wild in the litle explored forests of Norther: Manchuria. * Although remote from civiliza tion and apparently untouched by its influences, they may hold key to how man's ancestors be haved and managed their com munity life 500,000 or more years ago. ~ Known as Alamas, these sem} human creatures talk only fa growls or guttural noises, bul allow themselves one civilized re- finement: they wear skins as l0in- cloths. A Russian scientist, Professoz B. Porshner recently confirmed their existence, basing his evid- ence on reports collected from nomadic tribesmen who, in thelr wanderings, have penetrated parts of this mountainous hinter- land. 'But by staging the first full- scale scientific search, the Aus- tralians hope to discover, photo- graph and get on friendly. terms with these Stone Age survivors.
