A wonderful offer came from the West Coast that nearly doubled his income; knowing it meant they could marry this year, he jumped at it.

I agree with you: she should realize how disgracefully she is behaving, and determine to stay true to her promise. If she cannot (or will not) then she should openly break the engagement, and return the money her fiance has sent her; her possession of it adds an almost sinister note to her treasonable behaviour. The boy she is dating is equally guilty; you say he knew she was engaged when they met. Unless he upholds her casual idea of honor, he should realize she cannot be true to any one man. Asking her to leave home is no solution. No 'matter how she is shaming you and her father, she is still your .daugh- ter and entitled to whatever protection her parents can provide.

Brazil--*"A Giant In A Cradle" Brazil, boasts its national an- J them, is "a giant lying eternally in a splendid cradle" The un- intended irony is not lost on the quick-witted Brazilian, who knows that his country, despite its giant size, abundant re- sources, immense promise, if not still in the cradle, has at most just barely left it. Furth- ermore, he thinks it is high time the giant began to walk. In fact, a development pro- gram is under way designed to enable it to do just that. If it succeeds, Brazil may round the corner into the modern age on the way to realizing its poten- tialities as another States. If it fails, it may find itself doomed -to the economic treadmill in which production growth just manages to keep up with population growth. The United States, for its own security, has a stake in the outcome, Brazil is trying to climb over the hurdle of backwardness without departing from funda- mentally Western democratic traditions. But Brazil knows the Soviet Union, although at cost to liberty and life for millions, pull- ed out of the economic waste- lands, and Brazil is watching Communist China and other present or potential "people's democracies." Should the same transforma- tion be repeated there, a de- sperate Brazil might adopt their methods. For Brazilians are impatient for the splendid to- morrow they are certain destiny has in store for them. The North American visitor arriving directly in Brazil's beautiful capital of Rio or the fantastic boom city of Sao Paulo questions the need for urgency. All about him are signs of wealth and feverish growth. Magnificent avenues, gleaming concrete buildings, stores crammed -with merchan- dise. . From- Sao Paulo's skyscrapers a super leads through a busy, modern factory district, twists in an en- gineering miracle: of tunnels and aviaducts down the 2.000- foot escarpment to the bustling coffe port of Santos. Another such highway arrows west through rich farmland to smaller satellite industrial towns. Crack trains of the Paul- ~ista Railway rival all but the best in the United States. New buildings are going up 10, 15, 25 'stéries on every hand. The visitor. feels the energy and quick tempo of the Paulistas, and notes the absence of "tropi=- cal languor." Where is all the backwardness he has heard so much about? . Ie learns that same surging growth is taking place in small- er cities Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, - Campinas, Londrina, Porto Alegre. He is tossed impressive sta- tistics -- Brazil has one-fourth of the world's iron ore reserves, grows 70 per cent of the world's coffee, has 12 per cent of its wa- ter power resources, is. rich in sugar, cocoa, cotton, timber, and fibres, iz a storehouse for man- ganese, phosphates, chrome, titanium, and the energy pack- ced minerals of uranium and thorium. This vear the population pass- ed the 60,000,000 mark. Its growth «¢ nearly 3 per cent a vear is exceeded by an average 5 per cent {to 6 per cent growth in the national product. - Indus- trial giants like Krupp, General Motors, Schneider, Mannes- mann are sprouting Brazilian branches writes Leslie Warren, Special Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor. When. the visitor learns of President Kubitschek's five-year program to double electrical output, ada 2,000,000 tons of forest of steel-making capacity, boost iron. ore exports seven times, construct 6.2000 miles of roads, turn out 100,000 cars. trucks and buses a year, he has no doubts as to Brazil's ability to become a rich and powerful nation. But the coin has another side. It appcars in Rio, where shanty towns crown -the city's hills, where shortages in = essential public services suggest adminis- frative incapacity. The real face of poverty can be studied in_the interior away from the leading cities. The statistics are grim: up to 80 per cent illiteracy, average income $45 a year, the common inade- quate diet of beans and manioc, stretched out with dried nieat or fish. Roads. where they exist. are dust 'clouds in dry weather, mud "trails in wet. Throughout the backlands millions exist ag "econonmic zeros," no more than they consume. Yet they live in a rich country.

How else could we have received such a clear picture of what takes place at the great party conventions in the U.S.A.?. Their system of preparing for the election of a government is so different from "3 our own that it is sometimes a little difficult to understand. But now, I for one, certainly. know more about it than I did before. I might even offer a little eriticism --- but why bother --- what our friends across the border do is entirely their own affairs, so at Ginger Farm we can just sit back and remain interested onlookers. Of course we got a little tired of some of the speeches but vet we couldn't drag ourselves away from the TV, particularly on Friday nights Of course we would have to have done sc had we been petting up with the dawn as we used to do. From now on many of those at the Democratic convention will be to us, not merely names in the news, but definite personalities. And that, of course will apply to Republican candidates too, who:e convention we shall watch with equal interest. But we are glad we don't have to vote for either one side or the other! President Eisenhower has such a wonderful personali- ty --- but then we found our- selves equally impressed with Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Kefau- ver. But we don't have to make any decision so we can straddle the fence in comfort if straddling a fence can ever be described as comfortable. Altogether, newswise, last week was quite exciting. The Suez Conference, and -- if it isn't incongruous to mention it in the same paragraph -- Clift Lumsdon's conquest of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. And I had a special little outing of my own. Just another interesting Women's Institute affair. This time it was a tea and the ex- hibit of prizeé winning entries in connection with the annual competition sponsored by the Salada Tea Company. There were three Tweedsmuir History Scrapbooks shown, all of them good, but that of Bridgeport W.1. in the Kitchener - Water- loo district - was deservedly awarded the first prize. Such beautiful illustrations featuring pioneer scenes. They appeared to be three-dimensional. There were also wonderiul black and white sketches by Mrs, Idessa Zimmerman, The entire book was wel arranged and tabulat- ed. Another splendid = prize~ winning entry was from Hay- stack Bay W.I. The distinguish- ing feature in this book was the remarkably attractive hand- written entries. 1 have been wondering since whether it was Italic handwriting. The third prize history was in two vol- umes. It, too, was a carefully arranged and 'attractive piece of work. There were also three beantiful oil paintings of rural scenes, and three prize-winning Hope chests which included very fine speciments of crochet, cross-stitch work and other types of embroidery. All these entries were conclusive evidence of the talent that exists among the Women's Institutes of On- tariofl Of course we were wel- comed by officials of the Sal- ada Tea Company, after which we were served with piping hot tea, dainty sandwiches and fancy cakes. I expect this tea was probably the last function at which the Provincial officers of the. W.I. will appear before leaving Canada on their way to Ceylon and the Tri-ennial Con- vention of the Associated Countrywomen of the World, taking place this fall, Well, we hear on the radio that harvest operations in On- tario are pretty well over! We wonder where. In this district most of the wheat has certain- Iv. been threshed or combined but spring crops are still stand- ing and I expect most of the farmers: with spring crop are praying that no big storm comes along and knocks them flat be- fore: they.- are ready: for the binder. In fact we know of some farms where the crops have al- ready suffered that fate. We get such freakish storms these days. Saturday we had just a sprinkle of rain. Later when Bob came up from Oakville he reported the heaviest rain- storm of the summer with a ter- rific electrical storm. At the construction plant. lightning ran along steel pipes, jumped from one machine to another, gave all the employees a scare and vet no damage was reported anywhere. i Today the weather is delight- fully cool. In fact there is a feeling of fall in the air. The wind has a mournful sighing sound; bluejays are sounding forth with loud, unmusical notes, and last night there was a gorgeous sunset, unusual for summer evenings. I suppose we might learn more about what the weather has in store for us Modern Etiquette... Q. What is the rule on the introduction of young and old persons? _ : i A. The younger person is al- ways introduced to the older ar more distinguished, but a gen- telman is always presented to a lady, even though he is an old genleman and the lady is a mere slip of a girl. Of course, a woman is presented to the President of the United States, a royal personage, or a digni- tary of the church. Q. How does an unmarried business woman identify herself over the telephone? A. "This is Miss Johnson (ory Miss Ruth Johnson), of such- and - such company." Q. Is it correct to wear ear- rings at any time, or should they be reserved only for cer- tain occasions? A. Small earnings worn anywhere - and at any time. But the diamond type and long, dangling ones are best worn only with evening or dressy party frocks, Q. Is there any way that one can possibly rinse one's fingers at the table if no finger bowl has been provided.? A. It is permissible to tip the waterglass against the corner of the napkin, and then wipe the fingers on this damp corner. Q, Is there any special mark- ing customary on a cake to be served at an engagement party? A. A traditionally favorite decoration is the first names of --d can be' if we had a greater knowledge concerning plants and trees. For instance we have a hickory tree down by the creek that is load- ed with nuts this year, We won- _ der why because we haven't had hickory "nuts around - here for years and years. There are also quite a lot of wild grapes on vines where I have never seen grapes before. There are plenty of choke-cherries . too. Last year there there wasn't one to be seen anywhere. Why? No doubt native Indians could tell use. Cadi, SHE MEANS IT -- Close friends of actress Cleo Moore, above, insist she's dead serious about her plans to run for governor of Louisiana in 1960.

On the left of the plate with cpen edge toward the plate, 'unless it is. folded and there is no edge. v Q. Would it be proper to have two maids of honor, both eof them dressed in white? A. This is all right, if you wish, although usually only the bride is dressed in white. Im some summer weddings, an all- white wedding is very effective.
