ro ae A ee pi Te - Py 4 So 3 3 "Dear Anne Hirst: When I married I did not know what a child my husband was. His fa- mily had spoiled him thoroughly; they supplied all his needs, in- cluding spending money. They have not helped us out since, nor did I want them to , .. 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 dis- tressed 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 plea- sant; 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.

Mr, Bar- salou came to the limit of his patience with high school pas- sengers the other day. They had forgotten--and from the tenor 'of reports, it' was not the first "'time--that a bus is a public con- ence, It is no 'vehicle "for _horseplay. Their conduct tended to throwing snowballs around inside the bus. Mr, Bar- salou made the first stop one at the East Hartford Police Station, where five of .the ringleaders were bundled off. - This is a radical cure. Usually harassed adults grit their teeth and think that boys will be boys But the incidence of hood- lumism that passes for boyish pranks has grown remarkably in recent years, especially since the end of World War II. It is all part of the juvenile-delin- quency problem, even if such cases as these do not involve ar- rests as a general rule. It is still misconduct. And certainly it's bad citizenship. veyance for nore conveni- t | » Perhaps youngsters now will realize that such conduct is serious. Perhaps parents, too, will read the riot act a little more effectively, knowing that .this time the passengers wound up with a punishment they rich- ly deserved. Decorum should not be a lpst art. It has been a long time since George Wash- ington wrote out, as a rule of civility, the maxim that "Every action done in company, ought to be with some sign of respect, . to those that are present." But . it is still a good guide. Acting up in public, especially when it invades the privacy of others or endangers lives and property, isn't 'smart. It's boorishness -- Hartford (Conn.) Courant.

Even though you're not a member of the "do-it-yourself" school, the chances are that as a homemaker you've had your share of painting to do. A recert survey made in the U.S. remjnds us that buying the family's paint brushes is a mas- culine prerogrative on this con- tinent. Seventy per cent of 'the - brushes bought are selected by men. Sixty-five per cent of the homes in this country have at least one paint brush in the house. : How you buy and how you care for your brushes has a lot to do ivith the ultimate success of your paint job. The recom mended ways of buying are these : See._that there is a full stock of bristles and-that- they are firmly embedded in the base of the handle. Then flip the bristles to be sure they. are of varying lengths. This, according to the experts, is a most im- portant step if you want a really good brush: The bristles them- selves should be finely tapered and some should have split ends to permit an even flow of paint, Caring : for your nylon brush between jobs is equally im- portant. The recommended steps are, first, work as much paint off the brush as possible, using old newspapers and a blunt stick if necessary. Secondly, soak the brush in either turpen- . tine or mineral spirits, givine it enough soaking time to remove all the old paint. The next swep is to wash in warm, soapy water and hang to dry in such a way that moisture won't collect at the base. Finally, when the' brush is dry, wrap it in rows. paper for protection and to pre- serve the original shape, ex- _ rise?

The Meaning of the Resurrec- tion, Luke 24:28-34, 44-53 Memory Selection: Thanks be to God, which giveth us the vic- tory through our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 15:57- y Christianity is the only reli- gion 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 Moham- med 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 liv- ing leader can help us today. The twa disciples in today's * lesson were sad as they walked to Emmaus. Then Jesus, with- out revealing his identity, walk- ed with them and explained the Scriptures, It was in God's order that Jesus should die for the sins of man, Then as he ate with them their eyes were open- ed and they beheld the resur- rected Jesus. Their sadness gave way to joy and they hurried to tell the other disciples that they had seen the Lord. As they -were all: together Jesus appear- ed in (their midst. After open- ing their understanding con- cerning the Scriptures he gave them a mission. They were to be his witnesses. They were to preach repentance and. remis- sion 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 of the Fath- er. Then Jesus led them out to' Bethany and blessed them and was caught up into heaven. The challenge is still with us. Many millions have not yet heard how God sent His Son to save us. We need to be wholly given up to God so that em- powered by His Spirit our wit- ness shall be - effective. The message is the same. In the name of Jesus Christ we must "=yirge people to repent of their sins. When they do He will for- give them, Jesus Christ is liv- ing today in the hearts of mul- titudes around the world. But everyone needs Him. We must tell them by our lives and our words. . UHRONICLES pal 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 in- stalled? So, for the last few weeks, it has been a time of discovery, picking and choos---- ing 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 re- "laxation. That, of course, was our primary objective in putting it in. We can have entertain- ment 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 watch- ing. Partner, of course, gets a great kick out of telecast sports. 1, too, enjoy watching the hoc- key games. Like everyone else --~ except where there are chil- dren--we do not turn out set on during the day. And we shut it off when we have callérs -- un- less there is something they especially want to see. One thing kept us from put- ting 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 shad to re-arrange my work con- siderably. Thus, I left my iron- ing until evening and then - watched television while I did it..T got my backlog of mending , done the same way. In fact, for the first time in weeks, my workbasket is actually empty! Arranging time for typing and writing was a little more diffi- cult but that, too, 1 finally man- aged 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 per- son 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 pos- sible for people who need glas- ses 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 pro- duced 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, "high- ways and zoning regulations are all tied in together. AND na- tional 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 ma- chine, balet, loader, horses. and two tractors, and. as many. beef cattle as the farm will accom- modate. But think of the capital "tiled up in. all that equipment. Another thing -- this man be- lieves 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 equip- ment. 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 eans. 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 pro- perly chilled -- an important factor in the production of pure milk. : : : So, it 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 "{ime after - eight-thirty. Nowa- days that is the time when acti- vity begins! | 10 Commandments Cut In Mountain Ten Commandments Moun- tain, in western North Carolina, is one of the most appropriate of the many places where sunrise "services arg held an- nually, with the scenic beauty of lakes, mountains, and. forests providing an 'inspiring back- ground. : - In hige lefters of cut stone, - four feet wide and six feet "the Commandments are spe out upon a gently sloping moun- - tainside.
