3 RST) [ANNE HIRST "Dear Anne Hirst: I just don't know what to do. I have been married 19 years and have two children. My husband plays poker and sometimes hasn't a penny lett to bring home. We have so many bills to pay but he doesn't seem to care. "I would like to go out to work, f but he is so jealous it would only ~ make more trouble; he says I'm too friendly with people now. Anne Hirst, I almost never leave - the house, I do washing and iron- ing for other people to make a few dollars, I always 'have his meals ready when he does come home, and his clothes laid out, and I do anything he asks me, But he treats me terribly, and 1 am turning against him. Even our little girl is afraid of him when he comes in! Her teacher says she is a very nervous scholar and that is the reason. "The people he knows are nothing but 'trash,' and hang onto him: for the money he spends and his car. He will do anything for anyone who drinks . . . Can you possibly tell me what to do? Mrs. A. G. C." NO VIRTUE: IN HIM * It is distressing enough when * a man squanders money on * others which his family needs; * but when he mistreats his wife * and keeps his little girl in a * state of fear, there seems no * virtue in him. What you must * have endured for nearly 20 + years is enough to drive most + wives to the divorce courts. *- If you ate unwilling to con- * sider that drastic step, why not * talk things over with a Dom- ¢ estic Relations Court? Their ad- ¢ vice would be helpful, I am * sure, and should at least relieve ¢ your immediate economic situ- * ation. * It is not only your peace of * mind that is at stake, but the * emotional development of your "children; one is already being * frightened by her father's bel- * ligerence, and the other cannot * escape unscathed. Only your * soothing presence mitigates in * some measure their apprehen- * sion, and more often than not * you must stand by helplessly. ® Think how this will affect them ¢ later on. * Your husband needs to real- * ize that he cannot pursue his ¢ callous way: of living any long- ~--* er and get away with it. [J] LJ * TOO EAGER : "Dear Anne Hirst: Six years ago my mother took a teacher to board. I didn't like him, but as the years passed he caused me to love him. Sometimes he took me to ball games and on picnics, but he never told me he cared for me. "When he came home from school I always fixed him some- thing to eat and saw that his room was comfortable. At Christ- mas I gave him nice gifts, and he said I had gone too far. "Now he has gone to another school, and moved from our home; he never calls except on invitation! Can you tell me what to do now? Si | _ «Kate Rebecca" I hope you will do nothin-- except to try to remove this. young man from your thoughts and hopes, as he has removed- himself from your house.

You went all out, serving him" at which must have embarrassed ~ him; he tried to-warn you, but you would not see he was just being kind, I am afraid you. will have to realize he is in- terested in more mature women and thinks"of you as just-a nice little girl he used to know.

They may do so because of their ancestry, for most people have forebears who were farmers. Sometimes a youthful experience directs a person along the path he is to follow later in life. When we were children my parents took us to visit my maternal great- grandmother, who lived with her daughter and son-in-law on a farm. in Bavaria. There the prin- cipal objective was to condition cattle for the market. . . . My great - grandmother, who was eighty, 'seldom went outdoors and did not care: for flowers. _ Few country people did in those : "days. When my sister and I each "brought her a:bguquet of corn- flowers and poppies that we had gathered in the wheat fields, they did not 'appeal to her. Now I "know she considered them to be weeds. But her- daughter, my grandmother, had a garden plant- ed with iris and lilac bushes in her back yard on West Fifty- second Street, in New York City, just north of where Rockefeller Center stands today. Herb gardening has been com- pared t6 chamber music. Both are best appreciated in small places, for they have an intimate quality lost in a large hall or in a big garden. Gardening with herbs, which is becoming increas- ingly popular, is indulged'in by those who like subtlety in their plants in preference to brilliance. To me there is much that is en- dearing about herbs. They are -individual; each plant differs from the next in the way it holds: its leaves, in its shape, and par- ticularly in the fragrance it sends forth.. I love' to work among them and to smell their scent on my hands. As I weed or prune them or gather them to infuse a vegetable, - stories connected 'PINEX 4 drug counter, Pleasant tasting Pinex gives : owe bck.

Last week we had still ano- ther courtesy call. None other than a surveyor from the De- partment of Highways. His mis- . sion was to inform us that the De- . partment was making another survey through our farm for the proposed new highway. This survey is 200 feet farther north than the other one. To us it is much more satisfactory because it is farther away from the barn-- -- 400 feet in all. However, even this may not be: the final sur- vey -- the ways {of government departments being hard to fa- thom. But if it isn't final there .will be 'an awful lot of iron stakes to pull up all through' the country.

Williams, who wrote the popular "Elephant Bill" was in Burma, a colleague called : Rasher went heavily on the drink' and began losing interest in jungle life and his job. Williams racked his brains for something to cure him--and found it in his camera. Rasher, who'd never done any photography, became absorbed in Williams' photographs of game- tracks ang wanted to try his hand, so the latter ordered him a complete outfit. The change that came over him was wonderful. He set about photographing. ele- phants, cut down the drinking because it hindered his hobby. One evening they did some flashlight printing in a tent rigged up as dark-room, with red developing lamp. Rasher started stone' cold sober, but fixed him- self a large whisky-and-soda and placed. it on the table. He work- ed with a boy's enthusiasm, then said, "Wait a minute," picked up his drink and drained it in one. 'Then he sprang up, knocking | over -glasses, staggered to the tent-flaps. and collapsed, He'd drunk the developing solution! For a week he didn't smoke or drink 'whisky. And' his passion for photokraphy vanished and he went back to the bottle. In due time he took his, home leave, and that was the last { Burma saw of him. He had £15,- £000, his life's savings, and three years, he reckoned, in which to spend it. It was said that he spent six months each year in a nurs- ing home for repairs after six months on the binge. When he died at the end of the three years his whole estate, £158, went to- the R.S.P.CA. J Ir. Williams tells other human stories in his second' elephant saga, ""Bandoola". He knew a timber-overseer, Gerry Dawson who was passionately in love with two young Shan sisters who worshipped him, The first want- -ed her sister to share him because be no children, whereas if she -- sisters were shared there would be no children, whereas if she were his sole mistress there would be, and that would mean You know, I'ln beginning io think a few people must be reading this column! Remember hunters roaming. the farm with- "out .permission. Well . about 'ten days after that a hunter came along one night, * asked permission to leave his car in , "the lane and to go hunting across "the fields. Imagine that! I asked him if he intended setting any traps. "No," he said, "if we set - straps we come and tell you," So one hunter. at least has the * courtesy to observe the rules of '|. the game -- and he is welcome on our farm any time. Since 1 wrote that little tirade about - hunters 'we have read several times of young cattle be- ing shot by trespassers ¢h farm . ; _property. This matter of hunt- -'ing-is always a problem. Some ' people, as a matter of princi- ple, are opposed tp hunting of any kind, with or without per- mission. But we have to take a' realistic attitude, I think. If there were 'no hunting at all country districts would soon be over-run with predatory birds and beasts. Foxes, for instance, can soon wipe out the profits of a poultry farmer; deer are a menace_on the highway, and' al- so to crops} beavers must be kept under control or their in- dustrious habits may cause flood- ing to the point of inconven- ience.. And if the Indians were . prohibited from hunting their main source of income would be gone -- and what would women do then for their fox furs and muskrat coats? It is also com- forting to know that unnecessary suffering of animals is not -al- * lowed. Humane practices 'in hunting and trapping must be followed. Another point to con- sider . . .. Wild life, reforestation and conservation = 'go together, We need all' the trees we 'can 'grow so --!' more trees, better conservation; more wild life -- and of course, moré hunting. - A~ logical sequence, isn't it? Incidentally, for those who want trees to plant next spring it isn't abit too early to order "them now. According to. the Department of Lands and Forests the demand for delivery of yoting: trees next spring has, already 'exceeded the available supply, 80 I suppose the trees will be more or less rationed out.
