How in the world am I ever to help him accept his responsibilities? "During the first year I held on to my job while he went to school. Even that he did not take it seriously, didn't attend classes regularly and refused to study. He flunked. I was so distressed I would have left him, but I thought my baby was soon due. I lost her. "Our life became a series of arguments -- not bitter ones, for I loved him dearly and tried to keep the home atmosphere pleasant; honestly, I never nagged him, just tried to encourage him. We were cramped, living in two rooms on barest necessities. I was away nine hours, six days a week, and somehow managed to keep up our payments on the furniture and his car. "My husband is not without talents, and can adapt himself to almost anything he likes. The Tailored Step-in Always ready, always right when you want a style that's comfortable and flattering.

I make more than he does, and I'd never have to worry about losing any position I took. "We aren't youngsters -- he is 31 and I'm 25. I still care so much for him, and once we are established in a home I want more children . . . With this picture before you, what prospects do you think lies ahead for us?

At that, he may surprise A DESERTER "Dear Anne Hirst: I am in love with a man who told me he was getting a divorce because his wife is unfaithful, and when he is free he will marry me. Now he has moved. He doesn't answer my letters, they are returned to me. I have no way of knowing what is happening, and I am lost without "He's 29, I'm 10 years younger . . .

I know that the salad plate is placed at the left of the plate. If, however, a woman is wearing long, loose sleeves which are apt to get into the food in her dinner plate while she is reaching across it to the salad, may she move the salad plate to the right? A. If there's space to the right, this is quite all right. The reason the salad plate is put at the left is that there is more room on that side. Q. I've heard that it is improper to comment on another person's clothes. Does this mean one should not admire or compliment another on his clothes? A. If.you know another person well enough, there is no reason why she shouldn't tell him how well he is looking^ Q. I thanked each dj sonaHy Tor gifts *rec supposed to write -<mpic-you surprise birthday party. Am I notes also to these donors? A. No. Q. I see more and more people cutting their bread or rolls at the table with a knife. Is this now considered proper? A. No. Good behavior still requires that bread, rolls and the like be broken into small pieces with the fingers, and each one buttered as it is eaten. Q. How should one address a wedding gift? A. Gifts sent before the wedding are addressed to the bride in her maiden name. Gifts sent after the wedding, of course, are addressed to the couple. Q. Is it correct for a man to use double - sheet type of stationery for his personal correspondence? A. This is all right, but the single-sheet variety is considered more masculine. Q. If the national anthem is played in a moving picture theatre, should the audience A. If it is played as part of the picture, you do not rise. But if it is played separately, you most certainly do rise. Q. When a hostess has waited 15 or 20 minutes for a guest, and the other guests are all present, should she telephone to see why he is delayed? A. No; she is privileged to go ahead and serve her dinner. mm school Memory Selection: Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57. Christianity is the only religion which claims that its founder has arisen from the dead in a resurrected body. All Mohammedans hope to make a pilgrimage during their life to Mecca, the place where Mohammed is buried. Many Christian tourists and students visit the tomb where Jesus was buried at Jerusalem. But it is an empty tomb. The words of the angel echo in our ears: "He is not here. He is risen." Only a living leader can help us today. The two disciples in today's lesson were sad as they walked to Emmaus. Then Jesus, with- out revealing his identity, walked with them and explained the Scriptures. It was in God's order that Jesus should die for the sins of man. Tr-n as he ate with them their eyes were opened and they beheld the resurrected Jesus. Their sadness gave way to joy arid they hurried to tell the other disciples that they had seen the Lord. As they were all together Jesus appeared in their midst. After opening' their understanding concerning the Scriptures he gave them a mission. They were to be his witnesses. They were to preach repentance and remission of sins in His name among all nations beginning at Jetu-salem. But first they were to tarry in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit, the promise o'f the Father. Then Jesus led them out to Bethany and blessed them and was caught up into heaven. ^challengers still with us. aiilioiT 'have not yet f how God sent His Son to . We need to be wholly given up to God so that empowered by His Spirit our witness shall be effective. The message is the same. In the name of Jesus Christ we must urge people to repent of their sins. When they do He will forgive them. Jesus Christ is living today in the hearts of multitudes around the world. But everyone needs Him. Wc must tell them by our lives and our words. 1RONICLES Well, I might as well make a confession -- and get it off my chest. We finally gave in -- shall I say to mass hysteria -- and had a television set installed? So, for the last few weeks, it has been a time of discovery, picking and choosing programmes we like and finding our way around among the different channels. So far we have enjoyed it very much and find it a good form of relaxation. That, of course, was our primary objective in putting it in. We can have entertainment now and still enjoy the comforts of home -- and it is fun seeing people we know flashed on the screen. There have been quite a few. But as most of you very well know -- TV is more than entertainment. There are excellent educational programmes well worth Watching. Partner, of course, gets a great kick out of telecast sports. I, too, enjoy watching the hockey games. Like everyone else -- except where there are children--we do not turn out set on during the day. And we shut it off when we have callers -- unless there is something they especially want to see. One thing kept us from putting in television for so long -- we couldn't see how we would ever find time to watch it. So what happened? It doesn't make much difference to Partner at all, except that he does a little less reading. His work, of course, is done before there is very much that he wants to see. But I had to re-arrange my work considerably. Thus, I left my ironing until evening and then watched television while I did it. I got my backlog of mending done the same way. In fact, for the first time in weeks, my workbasket is actually empty! Arranging time tor typing and writing was a little more difficult but that, too, I finally managed and have accomplished more than I did before. So it looks as if we denied ourselves the pleasure of television for an unnecessary length of time. One thing I cannot, and will not do That is, sit hour after hour and do nothing but watch television. And it isn't necessary. A person can knit, sew, mend and watch a program without any trouble. That is, for those who have bi-focal glasses or can work without glasses at all. I don't imagine it would be possible for people who need glasses for close work only. There has been a little extra activity down at the barn this week. It just looks as if we are meant to keep cows, no matter what. One day Partner sent a cow to the stock market. The next day one of our heifers produced a calf -- and the calf was a heifer. So we still have as many head of cattle as we had before. You know, that is one thing I notice about farming -- when one door shuts another one opens. For instance, a few weeks ago we were still shipping cream but our egg supply was down. Last week Partner bought another calf. That meant we stopped shipping cream. But our egg supply increased so the scales were still just about even. But the drop in egg prices may soon change the picture. Well, I suppose most farm people have been following proceedings at the Convention of the Federation of Agriculture in Hamilton. The reports and suggestions given by those at the top are thought-provoking to say the least. Obviously, it isn't enough these days to consider one branch of activity. Farming, industry, immigration, highways and zoning regulations are all tied in together. AND national health insurance. Directly or indirectly it all affects the farmer and he must find the best way to adapt himself to changing conditions, which may be quite the opposite to that of his neighbour. For instance we had a middle-aged couple in here yesterday, still very active with cattle and crops. Recently the farmer found it impossible to obtain reliable hired help. The barnyard had to be kept clean and he could not keep pace with it alone, So off he went and bought a manure loader and a second tractor. Now he has enough equipment to keep him independent of hired help -- a small thrshing machine, baler, loader, horses and two tractors, and as many beef cattle as the farm will accommodate. But think of the capital tied up in all that equipment. Another thing -- this man believes in early to bed and early to rise. I mention that because there is some criticism about late-rising farmers. That is the result of labour-saving equipment. At one time farmers had to be up early to have the milk out ready for the truck to pick up. Now with milk coolers in general use, milk cans are left in the vat ready for the trucker when he comes. The morning's milk doesn't go until the next day. It is better that way as it gives the milk time to get properly chilled -- an important factor in the production of pure So, if the farmer gets up later than he used to it is because there isn't the same necessity for him to beat the dawn every day. Which is just as well, otherwise how could farm folk take in so many late nights -- farm forums, card parties and so on? Time was when it was lights out for farm folk any time after eight-thirty. Nowadays that is the time when activity begins! 10 Commandments Cut In Mountain Ten Commandments Mountain, in western North Carolina, is one of the most appropriate of the many places where Easter sunrise services are held annually, with the scenic beauty of lakes, mountains, and forests providing an inspiring background. In huge letters of cut stone, four feet wide and six feet high, the Commandments are spelled out upon a gently sloping mountainside. The concrete Roman numerals are seven feet wide and 14 feet high. The lettering is outlined in white to simulate the pages of an open book, divided by a long flight of shallow steps, from which the visitor may view the letters i* close range, or even stroll about on the grass between them. Two smaller pages, standing upright at the top of these steps, show quotations from the Gonpei of St. Matthew. This New Testament reproduction is 21 feet high and 34 feet wide, rising from a base 60 feet long by 13 feet wide. Contributions from the churches of 15 southern states made possible this work, which was completed late in 1951, at which time what had been Burger Mountain was dedicated as Ten Commandments Mountain. It faces Fields of the Wood, a religious assembly ground upon which the services are held.
