I haven't been out with anyone else since he left and he writes he hasn't "either, and I believe him. But all of my friends say I should wake up, that no 18-year-old boy in college is going to be faithful to someone who isn't there." "I'am 16, and T am contented the way things are, He is a good Christian (I hope I am) and we are very happy when we are together, Will you please give me your advice? A WEEKLY READER MISGUIDED FRIENDS? * It is a common practice am- * ong unattached young people %-to envy others whose romance is blooming; ;they cannot bear anyone else to be happy and their jealousy sometimes in- spires them to instill doubts, in the hope they can break up the friendship. Whether your friends are so moved I can- not say, but I urge you dis- count their opinions and hold on to your faith in the lad who Is away. The important associations in life are founded on mutual faith; the business of the world is conducted on belief in the integrity of one's part- ner. Friendships that last a lifetime depend on the same trust, the sure knowledge that they will never let one down. How much more, then, should two who hope to marry some day believe with all their hearts in each other! It is true that either can change as one matures and finds a more satisfying companion, but how "their common vows and en- joy their full reward, This young man apparently has been just as faithful as you. Trust him as you always have, and close your ears to those who would arouse doubt of his loyally. Should he re- gret "his promise, you will know; until then, don't insult him by entertaining any fears. Remember that faith begets faith, as doubt engenders doubt. You are happy: as things are, and so is he. ~ If the day should come when you find your belief mis- placed, you will have the com- fort of knowing that you kept your part of the bargain. How dreadful it would be if you listened to these so-called friends only to find you had misjudged him! LA A A A I A I I sr 2 8 3H P. J.

Killers, free from police prose- cution, obtain "dividends" from respectable - businessmen and hacendados (gentlemen farmers), say local papers. Refusal to pay the. "insurance money" means inevitable and not - so - sudden death, for the killers are sadists. Strong . Man It's hard to beliey that at the age of seven Anderson almost died from nephritis, and a year later was bitten by a dog sus- pected of rabies, and further weakened by a severe course of treatment, : "In his teens, however, his physique improved phenomenal- ly, and he became a successful American football player. A uni- versity in Carolina offered him a football scholarship, but he didn't hold it for long -- he just couldn't get enough to eat! In- deed, the university asked his family for an extra fifteen dol- lars a week, to cover the enor- mous quantities of food he was "consuming! Anderson's appetite has not diminished. Once he caused a sensation at a restaurant in New York. Having ordered a couple of glasses of milk, he declared that they were 'too small, and ordered ten more. Watched with astonishment by waiters and fel- low diners, he drank the twelve glasses straight off. : Turning - to weight-lifting he practised with a huge safe, but one day he declared that it wasn't heavy enough. So his father filled it up with cement --- and young Anderson was hap- py. Recently, his feats of strength caused a stir in the Soviet Union, One Russian official, with a repu- tation as a wrestler, jokingly challenged Anderson to saying he had heard so much about his strength. Then the Russian attended a practice by Anderson, saw. him lift an cnormous weight -- and with- drew t ~ challenge! Anderson leads a secluded life, strictly supervised by his mother, and spends vhost of the day practising. - A mild and gentle young man, his chief regret is J that he was rejected for military service on the ground that he was too muscular, and that no uniform could be found to fit him. On the day of a contest he does not eat at all, only drinks. And he drinks at least half. a gallon of milk a day. He re- gards himself merely as "a force of nature," and a less brilliant champion than the American Negro, Davis, holder of the world title in 1953. But to-day, not even Davis can complete with him. It just goes to show what drinking milk can do for you.

He picked it up. It was a diamond ring. He took his find to the near- est police station. "Well done," said the police chief. "It's worth. about $3,000 and belongs to an Indian prin- cess who believes it fell from her finger somewhere. She treasures it so much that the police of half Europe have been looking for it." : The princess, not knowing where she had lost the ring CLOCHE -- The grows up in this cloche of Milan straw for spring.

It is believed to have lain for two days in the guter unobserved. :: The teacher has received a sub- stantial reward. Queer stories of lost rings restored to their owners are constantly hitting the world's headlines. : Mrs. Louie Hutchinson was reluctant to tell her husband when she Jost her wedding ring on their small holding near Up- well, Norfolk. So she went out and bought another just like it. That was a quarter of a century ago. time ago her husband was dig- ging when he found the first ring-- with an onion growing through it. A woman who for some time 'lay - in a Wellington hospital with a broken leg sustained In a road accident said the other day: - "I'm 'the luckiest woman in New Zealand." Why? Becouse at the time of the crash a diamond worth $1,- 000 was lost from her engage- ment ring and police traffic in- spectors and relatives searched vainly for it. A fortnight later they returned and found it em- bedded in a tuft of grass. Giger FARM "Last Saturday was a lovely morning. -- cold and bright -- so much nicer than foggy, half-freezing weather we had had for over a week. A day that made you.feel like settling down to work and getting a few "extras" done. "After all who minds the cold?" I-remarked. "No one -- if they don't have to be. out in it any more than you do," Partner replied. Well, I didn't argue the point except to say that although Partner is in and out most of the day he doesn't seem to mind the cold cither. Anyway, it was such a lovely = morning that, even though it' was Saturday, I went ahead and got a two-week's washing done. My washdays are controlled by the weather, not the day of the week. I was certainly glad I got busy that time as, by mid-afternoon, the weather had changed again and we were almost freezing under the full force of a bittef north-east wind. Our sunroom, where 1 have nearly all' my plants, dropped down to 32 de- grees and was getting colder. By 9 o'clock I was moving all the plants on to the dining-room table, And what a job that was, They are there yet as the wind, as I write, is still around the house, but fortun- ately it has veered slightly away from the east, However, I guess our troubles are nothing to what they are experiencing in the Maritime provinces, It is almost fantastic tc think of miles and miles of power lines brought down by freezing rain."

Hydro power is a wonderful conveni- ence -- until it fails, It is then that homes with an oil furnace and electric kitchen range get cold in a hurty, F often think we are inviting trouble when we depend so much on electricity for the comforts and necessities of life. And more particularly when the wiring is old and in adequate, For ipstance one fam- ily I know of, moved into an old farm house a few years ago.

How they finally solved the problem I don't know. : Increasing the number of ap- pliances without inspection of the wiring is like pouring into a pitcher that is already full -- and a Jot more dangerous.

Dee and Art found that out to their sorrow after moving to another house - last spring, They soon called in an electrician to Took over the What he discovered in the way of faulty home- Nyy was a crime, Of course everything is all right now but it was naturally an unlooked for expense, 5 Which reminds me -- David went 'to hospital again last Thursday and came home on Friday --, minus his tonsils and adenoids, At first he seemed so well but now he is running a temperature. We hope it is only temporary and that this con- cludes his visits to the hospital for a little while. Honey is hav- ing her turn too and is in the Dogs' Hospital for observation and treatment for partly para- lyzed hindquarters. I asked Daughter if Honey's -hospitali- . zation came under the Blue Cross. You. can imagine her answer, Well, we thought we had heard almost everything in the - way of advice to farmers, but last week Professor' D. R. Campbell, head of the O.A.C.' came out with something quite new, In brief he said there were too many farmers and those in low income groups should move to the city and seek more profitable jobs in in- dustry.

As for hired help a good man is hard to get. In fact this problem alone deters. many farmers from operating their farms to capacity -- and in that way they help increase the number of low-income farmers. We have a great many industrial plants this' district and jobs are already. being filled by men and boys from nearby farms. A young lad, whe has already quit farming for a factory work would undoubtedly Professor Campbell's remarks with glee. 1 can imagine him turning to his father with the remark -- 'There, Dad -- you see I am on the right track. That chap says there are too many farmers. And he should know." A wouldn't. stop to "analyze the statement and sift out the quali- fying remarks. It is all very confusing.

Many South Am- ericans risk their lives so that you amuse yourself with 'the "nut-crackers. This probably ex- plains why brazils is expensive: The brazil nuts grow in the - forest areas 'along the banks of the Amazon. They hang from the tops of trees which stand 150 feet high, but they are not single nuts in a. case, like the horse chestnut. Brazil nuts are usually wedge- shaped and if you put. them together like the sections of am orange, with the thin edges in wards, you can make them into a ball. This is the way they grow on the tree, and one of them can weigh up to 5 lb. This weight dropping from 150 feet can kill a man if it hits him on the head. Fatal accidents. among brazil nut collectors are not infrequent. Most of the fruits fall in the afternoon, after the heat of the ~ midday sun. The collectors usually work in the morning, but they keep one anxious eye aloft, for a sudden breeze can send a blitz of fatal brazil "bombs" raining down.
