Many times he has asked me to marry him, but I wasn't certain I wanted to get married. I know that is a big step in life and I wanted to make sure be- fore I gave him a final answer. I know I have hurt him, but I felt I had to tell the truth in- stead of leading him on, "He has gotten so sick of be- ing turned down that now he has left me! He said I should know by now whether or not 1 want him. "That is true. Since this hap- pened, I know how much I love him and need him, I told him so, but he doesn't seem to believe anything I say. He even has his own doubts about me now! "I realize I've been a fool, and I know what I have lost. Is there anything left for me to do? -- A SORRY GIRL" YOU ARE FORTUNATE * Instead of offering sympathy, * I congratulate you on the situation, painful as it seems at the moment. You have been going only with this one boy since you were 15, and all along you have realized that marriage is the greatest ad- venture of your life, a decision not to be made hastily. That is commendable. Only when he grew tired of waiting and left, do you conclude that you love him. It is human to want the un- attainable. It is his leaving you that has suddenly made him doubly desirable. Because you have no other beau your life seems empty now, and living in such a vacuum alarms you. . Believe me, you have not been a fool, you have only been honest with yourself. It is well that the boy has gone. His doubts that you are not the girl for him show how shallow his emotions are; if he were more mature, your putting him off would only have made him more eager to to win you, and he would have realized you are a well-balanced young woman who does not give her heart away without knowing the value of her gift. You are both too young to think of marrying or even be- ing engaged. A girl 17 can hardly be sure that what she feels is an enduring emotion that will last the rest of her life.

Since last March a boy and 1 have gone together, and then my mother liked him, al- lowing me to invite him to my birthday party and the school dance. Then suddenly she changed her mind -- when his brother got into trouble through no fault of his own! "Now she won't allow me to see him. He lives on our street, and I'm, not allowed out of the house unless she is with me. She even follows me to school! "I tried not seeing this boy, but it just didn't work, I like him too much. Please help me out. -- DISTRESSED TEEN-AGER" It is of no use to appeal to anyone else for the answer you want. Somehow (and only you know) you have lost your mother's faith, and she feels that out of her sight you will be seeing this young man. What have you been doing that she distrusts you so? Whatever it is, stop it. - It is unfair, perhaps, that on the whole family, but it is true. Your mother knows how unwise it is for you to be see- ing each other, and she is try- ing to protect you from any unfavorable gossip. You are too young to appreciate this, but you will have to accept her ruling and obey it. word that you will not see him again without her permission, and in other ways show you can be trusted, perhaps later on she will relent. Meanwhile, it is up to you to prove your integrity in every way you can. L LJ LJ * 90 8 # OR © 0 0 2 0 0% an ® oF pee es sx 2S ee Don't let any boy rush you into a promise to marry.

Joker Was Wild The horses that are picked for saddle brone riding, the classic event of rodeo, are generally farm animals gone psycho. Truly wild horses seldom make good brones. Most buck through the first few rides, then go docile. But an exception was cut from a roving band on the South Da- kota prairies a dozen years ago. He was a big three-year-old bay. They named him Joker and, cowboys agreed, the Joker was wild -- perhaps the roughest bronc alive. . Even this year, at fifteen, Joker hated to be ridden. At rodeos around the country, 31 cowboys tried; he dumped 28 of them. At Harrisburg, Pa., two weeks ago, Joker tossed two more cowboys. He also bruised his head, but no one thought the injury was serious. On his way to a ranch in Col- orado last month to rest before next month's National Finals Rodeo at Dallas, Joker died, a victim of tetanus contracted af- ter the injury. "There," said Gene Pruitt, a former national saddle champion, "went one h--- of a horse." .: Q. When introducing a young woman of eighteen to a middle- aged man, whose name is spoken first? A.

HRONICLES ZGiNgEr FARM Elen bull ii .Clarke Partner says he is afraid to leave the house for very long because he never knows what changes he'll find when he gets back. That, of course, is a slight exaggeration but still it has some foundation in fact and indicates one difference between a man and a woman. Most men like things left in the home more or less the way they are, year in and year out. Women love to move things around, creating a change of scenery within four walls. And after all, why not? Who wants to see the same thing in the same place, month after month, winter and summer? It | gives a lift to the soul to change one's outlook. Except, of course, to the conservative type, and they are beyond hope. Not only that but summer arrangements are often unsuitable for winter months. And another thing, changing things around may dispel a guilt complex if a per- son has been doing a little wish- ful thinking ... "If only I had a chesterfield -- or a rug, or drapes -- like my friend Edna, how much nicer my livingroom would look!" Well, there is a saying -- "Don't let your wishbone ue where your backbone ought to be". Don't wish for changes in your home -- make them. Dare to be original. But don't talk it over with your husband first -- that is fatal! He will be sure to say -- "What's the matter with the room the way it is -- it looks all right to me?" To that sort" of question a woman rarely has a logical answer. So, to keep peace in the family she subdues, her splurge of creative thinking and everything remains the same -- except for her own feeling of- frustration, Now "don't get me wrong" 1 think a husband and wife should talk things over -- and sometimes very carefully, par- ticularly when a purchase is in- volved. But I cannot see the point of a major discussion over moving a piece of furniture, a picture, or arranging a differ- ent set-up in the kitchen. The home is primarily the woman's concern. It is often up to her to do the best she can with what she has, making her .home as comfortable and convenient as she can for the whole family. So, it father likes his livingroom chair in one particular spot, for heaven's sake don't move it, but arrange the rest of the room to suit yourself. Finding the best place for your TV set is a matter for a family conference, as it concerns everyone. And what a problem it can be, Now you may wonder what led up to all these ideas. Actual- ly nothing too drastic. A little different seating arrangement in our livingroom; an unwanted table taken down to the base- ment; ferns changed around; a lamp from the den given a place in the livingroom and small tables changed around from guest room to den. The overall result has been more space and 1 no longer feel it necessary to buy the nest of tables I thought we couldn't possibly do without. Now that should commend it- self to the man of the family, don't you think? Not that I am entirely satisfied even: yet but the present arrangement will do until I get another brainwave. You know, I think half the trouble with most of us is that we lack vision. We get so used. to seeing things, good and bad, the way they are that in time we actually don't see them at &ll For instance, one friend was vis- iting another for the first time. She was entranced by the beau- tiful scenery. "Oh, how I envy you this view." And then the added -- "But I suppose you are so used to it.-you never even see it." She was absolutely right. Unless we keep ourselves alert we are liable to lose our aware- ness of so many things. Even the Santa Claus parade. Maybe 1 dm slightly infantile but I pped everything last Satur- day -- and so did Partner -- 50 we could watch the Parade on television and we thoroughly enjoyed it. But what a shame it rained. Later two young mothers each said to me -- "You know, I was so provoked . . . I forgot about the Parade and our young- sters would have loved watch- ing it on TV." Our daughter goes to the other extreme -- she wants her boys to see every parade that comes along and generally takes all three down town. This time two of them missed out. Jerry has " measles and David the mumps. So Art stayed home with the afflicted ones and Dee took Ed- die to see the parade. Ross didn't even see it even on TV be- cause Joy was another one who forgot. And now for those who are in- lerested in reading -- particu- larly 'in history -- ay I recom- mend to you "Life in the Clear- ings" by Susanna Moodie. A sequel to "Roughing it in the Bush". Although the book was written around 1850 this is its first publication in Canada. It concerns the Belleville district. It 'seems 'almost impossible that life could be so different and yet be only a hundred years apart, Obviously each period has its advantages and disadvan- tages. Sudden Death In A Snowball It was all great fun. The first snow of the season had fallén in the remote village of Egnat, high in the Alps, and all the kids were out, huffing and puff- ing to build a giant snowball to send thundering down the slopes. Watching them, 15-year-old Jakob Giezendanner, the oldest of his family's "eight children, smiled. Jakob had rolled snow- balls in his day, too, but now he was a grownup, helping his fa- ther grub out a living from their rock-strewn farm. "Jakob, help' us," the. children cried. "Too busy," he explained. And then, Jakob noticed that the snowball--now 10 feet wide and 4 feet high--was threatening to skid and get out of control. Throwing aside the ax with which he had been chopping wood, he ran to the children. Straining, he put his shoulder against the snowball. His feet slipped. One piercing was all that Jakob had time to utter before the giant snowball engulfed him and began careening down the slope. It must have weighed a fon by the time it struck an open space and broke apart. The children, rushing after it, found Jakob's body. The life had been erushed out of it There Ought To Be A Law! Ask any cop in Washington: There ought to be a law. One day in the 1930's, a motor- ist = arrested for speeding in 'Maryland identified himself 'as the minister from Iran. "You don't look like no minister to me," said the officer, clamping handcuffs on his indignant pri- soner. Iran promptly severed diplomatic relations with the u.s. In 1951, Don Vicente Santa- Liestra, second secretary of the Spanish Embassy, drove through a stop light, killing a pedestrian and injuring a policeman, A coroner's jury charged him with driving "with gross negligence" and held him responsible. But under the cloak of his diploma- tic immunity he was not pun- ished. Last month, the problem ros2 again. A police squad answering an accident call in northeast Wa- shington saw a woman lying dead on the street and a strap- ping blond youth waiting beside his car. The victim, hurled 41 feet by the impact, was Mrs; Jessie Hamlin," 54, a widowed Negro who worked as a doma:s- - _tic to help support two small 'nephews and a niece. The driver identified himself as David Hearne, 21, son of the Irish Ani- bassador to the U.S. Young Hearne claimed diplomatic ini - munity; and the charges (homi- cide and driving with improper . plates) were dropped and he was released. Washington newspapers jump- ed on the story, pointing out that Hearne had been arrested four times in the last 30 months for boisterous conduct and creating public disturbances. On one oc- casion, he beat a policeman sc severely, the officer was on sick leave for several days, Each time, he claimed diplomatic im- munity and was released. The latest escapade posed a thorny problem to the State De- partment. .The- youth's father, John Hearne, who -has repre- sented Ireland in Washington since 1950, is well liked in diplo- matic circles. To designate his son as persona non -grata would automatically end Ambassador Hearne's tour in the U.S. But the U.S. State Depart- ment made no secret of the fact that diplomatic immunity could be carried too far. -- From NEWSWEEK.

Used To Live The cave men en were the human beings who lived before the most important of the early inventions on which a& stable civilization can 'be based: farming, or the regular Salvation of edible oplaiitej; ha ~ domestication of oofed animals; pottery -- and perhaps with it "the invention of wheeled transport; and the rev- olutionary technique : of grind- ing, polishing, ue boring stone tools so as to make them almost as Efficient as the later tools of metal. The cave men 'did not farm; they were hunters and fisher- men, and their women collected wild fruit, vegetables, and grain. They lived lives rather like those of the American Plains Indians before the introduction of the horse. They did not 'domesticate animals--or at best only one animal, our oldest friend, the dog. They lived largely on ani. mals; they thought about ani- mals constantly; but they were hunters, so they treated even the horse as something to be stampeded over a cliff and then eaten. They knew something about clay and how it hardens in the fire; but so far we have found no real clay dishes or con- tainers among their remains. We find it 'difficult to imagine life without the peaceful corn- fields, the quiet cattle, and the dishes from which we eat and "drink; yet for most of man's existence on the earth these things were unknown and un- dreamed of. Settled farming began somewhere about' 7,000 years ago, in the New Stone Age: that seems like a long time ago, but it is only about 200 generations from our own time. Our two-hundreth grandfather was one of the first farmers. But before that there was a long, long period--not ten times as great but something like a hun. dred times as great -- during which our forefathers lived in caves and hunted the wild ani- mals and made tools and molded the human mind into something recognizably like its present ef- fectiveness. That was what geologists -call 'the Plejstocene period, and his- torians the Old Stone and Mid- dle Stones ages. Some of it was unbelievably hard and terrible, with much of what is row 7» habitable worla: coverea with grinding ice and 'thuade: ng glaciers--the "sky no doubt gray and filled with whistling winds and the repeated drift of snow- flakes and sheets of chill rain. At other times, the world we know was comparatively. genial, with substropical vegetation and animals, and with many of the waste places habitable and hunt- able. The North Sea was dry land where .our ancestors shot long-vanished animals, the Saha. ra Desert was a vast parkland with 'water and grass and trees like * the big-game-hunting sec- tions of Africa today, and the now barren canyons and sage- brush plains of the American Southwest were wooded and How The Cave Men a hunter's paradise.
