Entering under the Refugee Act, Li is en route to Hollywood under con- tract to Cecil B. De Mille. The . five-foot two-inch bealty has made 63 films. av Wasn't the heat and humidity ter- rific? Especially after sundown - no wind, not a breath of air either indoors or out. outslde during the evening any- way--not with giant-size mos- quitoes around. All the pesky in sects seem abnormally big' this year--flies, mosquitoes and June- bugs. David was 'still with us and the poor little chap was covered with bites although I anointed him with Insect repellent several times a day. It was hot work lopkihg after an active youngster but the hotter it got the gladder we were he was here and not in the city. If we had been allowed we would like to have kept him all summer--- but I am afrald our work would have suffered. As it was Partner had to quit fixing fences because the heat and mosquitoes were too much for Dave. But was he proud of himself! Partner had been using the maniire spreader 'as a trallor behind the tractor and Dave went along sitting on a box covered with an old quilt, That was the real McCoy. ik Saturday was =o I wouldn't venture' evening Dee, Art, Honey and the baby came David home. It was six weeks since Dave had seen Mummy and Daddy and at first he wasn't too sure about them. However, in about five minutes the reunion was com- plete -- especially with: Honey. No wonder we often hear "a boy and a dog belong together." That is cer- tainly true with Dave and his dog. The baby? Well, Dave wasn't too interested in the baby. He looked at' him and said "nice baby" dnd theh went back to Honey. We had a great time loading the car--with toys, eggs, clothes, and' equipment. Especially clothes-- which served as an illustration of our changeable climate. Inside of gix weeks Dave had worn every: thing from a snowsuit and rubber boots. to little more than his birth-~ day suit. The last few days he had been running around clad only in a little pair of training pants. everyone had gone the house séem- ed. strangely quiet. so quiet I got very little sleep that night. There was the empty cot and no small boy twisting restless!y around in his sleep. And I would think about him and wonder how he was settling down in his home en- vironment and what would be his reaction to a new baby in the home. Sunday seemed quieter still but blessedly cool. Partner had only the dogs trailing him around on his way to the barn or the hen-house and I was saved numerous trips to the bathroom, Mitchie-White wel- comed the change! After an' explor- atory trip to the house he found it so peaceful he stayed around all day. And of course we were able to watch television without inter- ruptions. Speaking of T.V. there was a wonderful documentary program Sunday night--*In the Shadow of the City" showing farm land, be- fore and after. First as a pros- perpus farm, then the sale of farm, stock and implements, Finally the process of construction as the land was taken over for a sub-division, And then the finished pleture -- family life in a newly developed community, with all its advantages and disadvantages. It was so good I hope the CBC will repeat it. Well, it is now Monday morning--- a lovely, cool refreshing morning. No excuse now for not getting on with the work, Afi, least if a person is able. At this moment Partner fa in the throes of a bad attack of 'arthritis in his hands, following a very restless night, A trucker has Just come in to take away a veal calf. That makes one less lively little creature for Partner to cope with--but it will also mean more milking and more cream to sep- arate, I wonder if the cause--and a real cure--for arthritis will ever be found.

Partner is well and healthy fn every other respect, It is just "the miseries" that get him down--- the aftermath of 6 years war service, As an 'old vet' he could probably get a burnt-out pension. could live on $1200 a year these days? Unless it has been changed that is the maximum income for a burnt-out pensioner.

Married Best Man By Mistake How many Tor "us, period in our lives, have bene- fited by a lucky mistake? An error, purely ; imaginary, of course, in filling in their coupons -- something they would have altered if the wife or daughter had not foolishly posted the coupon -- has proved a dazzling stroke of fate for several people lately. And, equally, a mistake may lie at the heart of romance or confer on two people happiness they never imagined possible. Just two summers ago, a Norwegian girl won a state foot- ball prize of $6000. Being young and lovely, a flaxen-haired ice princess, as one' newspaper desy cribed her, she found herself inundated by offers of marriage. Several suitors presented them- selves in person. With an eye to future luxuries, she picked on one, a wealthy silver fox breeder's son. She skated, ski'd and danced with "him, Wer en- chantments se2m& to him divine. He soors "dated" her for life. Came, the wedding day in a tiny country church near Lille- - hammer, afd by an incredible mix-up over the names of bridegroom and best man, a vague-mindgd - pastor married the girl to the latter. In the ves- try his blunder was pointed out. "Well", said the bridegroom, "you'll have to; conduct the wedding ~ ceremony © all over again, and marry me to- Helga --not him!" hy Then the girl cut short his ty. "Oh, no. you won't!" she de- clared." I got my money by chance and now it looks as if the same goddess has given me a husband. Thank you very much, pastor. If - the best man is willing, so am I!" And off she went, arm-in-arm 'with a husband she had met only once beforehand, leaving the astonished bridegroom crushing his carnation button- hole in fury on the church steps. Now, as the mother of thriving twins, she's as happily married as the princess in any fairy tale. A mistake can lead to for- tune. A woman, not long ago went to a Midland hospital for a fin- ger operation and. the surgeon amputated the top of the wrong - finger. Because of that.mistake, a judge at Staffordshire Assizes awarded her $7,500. More substantial was the damage money paid to a New York couple, Isaac and Rose Keller, for a year of terrible heartbreak. Their twenty-six- year-old son, Murray, collapsed in an underground' train and died. By some extraordinary oversight, the police and hospi- tal authorities confused his name. They described him as "Solnard," and since he appear- ed to have no relatives, buried him in a pauper's grave. Frantically and despairingly the Kellers : hunted for their missing lad. At long last, they turned over the files of the city's unclaimed dead and there, to "theit" hbrror, they 'spotted But who. at some 'read of a woman, "the girls' apologies 'with startling finali- his portrait. Imagine the mo- ther's agony in suddenly find- ing her lost son's photo record- ed in another name. But she kept her self-control. The couple sued the authorities for $300,- 000 damages. Eventually, they settled for $30,000. - Magician's errors can be cost- ly, too. In Cartagena, Colombia, a famous Indian wizarg, Siuxcu, created a thriving trade in bringing 'back absconding hus- -. bands. ~All went swimmingly for wi- |. zard and abandoned wives un- til, in bringing back one wo- man's husband, he presented her with a man she had never before seen. "That's your hus- band," : said the wizard, putting on his most ingratiating smile. "Oh, no, it isn't," she retorte "It is your husband, senora, hissed Siuxcu. "You will take him!" oe : "Well, I shall settle that," said. the woman. 'Whereupon, stepping briskly. forward, she dealt him a terrific uppercut. It stretched him out flat on top of his spell-weaving pots. Countless golden inventions would never have materialized, 'except for a lucky mistake. The terrible toll of traffic accidents would be far more hideous had not a French chemist, Benedic- tus, accidentally tipped a bottle off his laboratory shelf. * "Good ' gracious!" the astonished scientist. "It hasn't splintered. The bottle lay at his feet, criss-crossed by cracks, but otherwise complete. He knew what was in the bottle; collodion in solution. This sol- vent had, after evaporating, coated the bottle's walls with cellulose nitrate, so forming a' skin to hold the cracks together. A day or two later, the chemist shockingly lacerated by flying gloss in a motor smash. He linked his bottle olden in his mind to her facial injur- ies. He experimented until he evolved safety glass, thus vast- ly improving the security of motorists. A misplaced comma recently saved two girls from prison, It was wrongly placed in a sen- tence and, agreeing that it was "bad law," -the recorder ordered girls' case afresh. This time, the bench al- Ipwed them to go back to their homes. Even more fortunate was a Sussex girl who, suffering from acute emotional distress, decid- ed to end her life. Turning on all taps, she thrust her head into her employer's gas oven, and closed her eyes, never ex- pecting to wake. But fate res- cued her from oblivion. The gas supply ran out. She had forgot- ten to prime the meter. So a shilling saved her life.
