When he is home, give * him all the attention you can * spare. from your little girl. * Employ all your tact. Den't, * for instance, mention your sis- * ter at all unless you must, and * tell your mother you will call * her daytimes .Remind your * husband that you cannot ig- * nore old friends and you do * not intend to. You may even * have to threaten to leave. * * He must understand that the strain of his jealousy is * keeping you so unhappy that *you cannot be an affectionate * mate nor an adequate mother * so long as he subjects you to it. * Some husbands have been * impressed by this reasoning, *-and overcome their jealous * fears to a considerable degree. * I hope yours will. J] » * CHANGE PARTNERS "Dear Anne Hirst: My best friend and I are both 17, and eight months. ago we met two boys and have been dating them ever since. I think I am in love, and my" friend thinks she is, too; we are very close, and tell each other every- thing. "Last week the boys came to us and said they wanted to change girls! Is this awkward, or isn't it? Shall we try it out, or should we be insulted at the idea? ) "Would it be disloyal to our -8pecial boy if we accepted this crazy idea? We are awfully con- fused. : * Neither of you is engaged to her boy friend, so there's no reason you shouldn't ac- cept the plan if you want to. It might be fun, at that. Of course, these boys talked jt over before they spoke of changing dates. . Should either of you regret it, that can be handled when the crisis arrives, You girls are such good friends that I am sure you only wish happiness for each other, Take it on, and see what happens. * * * A jealous husband is one of the most miserable of men.

MARRIAGE REVEALED -- Mr. and Mrs. Luraas of Troy, N.Y., look over a bank statement concerning payments made to Mrs. Luraas for the support of her daughter, Heidi. Mrs. Luraas was formerly married 1o Donald Farrell, the New York airman who recently spent seven days 'in a space cabin, Their marriage was annulled in April, 1954, al- though Mrs. Farrell was pregnant. She -claims that Farrell is $2,000 behind in support payments for Heidi, but all she wants - from him is his consent for h girl, er present husband to adopt the HRONICLES GINGER FARM Gwendoline P. Clarke We are still in the deep freeze -- definitely, At this moment it is 10 below zero and there isn't a window we can see out «of properly. That is because 'storm windows were not considered necessary . over the plate glass. Which is quite true except in very severe weather, There is a part of each window that is not completely frosted. Through jt we can see our neighbours hav- ing trouble starting their cars. The little girl rext door left home a short while ago and then stood for ten minutes on a cold, draughty corner waiting for the school bus. The wind is howl- ing around the house making weird noises but inside the house we are warm and comfortable. It did oceur to' us this morning to wonder how much oil the fur- nace got away with during the night as we didn't set the ther- mostat back at all. Partner has a fire roaring away on the hearth . right now and it looks and feels very cheery. So long as the rough weather doesn't outlast our food supplies we shall be all right. Snow, so far, hasn't been any problem, The white stuff from our one and only snowstorm is still lying around but no more has been added to it. When I hear the wind I keep remembering what it would be like on the farm. No matter what we did we could never keep the old house warm in a windstorm -- partly because we were al- ways afraid of fire. There were 22 lengths of straight smoke- pipe and 4 elbows running from the furnace to the chimney up- stairs. Taking them down and cleaning them was quite a job but for safety's sake it had to be done twice during the winter. What a change there has been in heating systems over the years. In pioneer days wood was the . only fuel -- pine, stumps burnt on the open hearth after tree had been felled. Then came the pot-bellied parlor heaters and the two-hole box-stoves that could be used for cooking ag well as. heating, split wood be- ing used as fuel. From it we progressed to .cookstoves -- to soft coal and coke, and finally to hard coal. And then there were oil stoves that would sometimes flare up and smoke the house out. In. most homes there was also a one-burner "Fairy lamp" lit for a while to take the chill out of upstairs bedrooms but taken away as soon as-the chil- dren were warm and cosy in their beds under layers of patchwork quilts -- aftei~héving undressed ir front of the kitchen fire. Elec- tric heaters couldn't be used be- cause in most homes there was no electricity. By day children were dressed warmly with heavy underwear, and oversocks and gum-rubbers on their feet, They had' to walk to school anywhere from half a mile to two miles. But at least they were on the move, . As I watched our little neighbour-girl waiting at the corner in the biting wind I-won- dered which generation of chil- dren were the haiter, talent care of. - Coming back to heating again, Wood for heating purposes is a thing of the past in most of cen- tral Ontario -- except for fire- places, Instead, think of wide choice we now have in heating our homes. With coal -- soft, hard or blower type. Heaf can then be distributed through the house by forced air, hot-water pipes or radiant heat under the floors. Instead of coal we can have fuel oil or natural gas to run the furnaces, controlling it thermostatically by the turn of a dial in the hall. It is all very wonderful but I doubt it we really appreciate our modern heating systems -- except when the power gives up the ghost. Then we feel hard done by and cry to high heaven and wonder why the hydro com- mission doesn't look after things better! There used to be another type of fuel in common use out west when we lived there. I was: re- minded of this the other night on TV when a man was told to 'get a good fire going with buf- falo chips". Partner and I won- dered how many people would know what he meant. We knew, because where we lived there was a good supply of "gew-piles". Cow-chips I would have you know were sun-baked dung that could be picked up from the pas- ture. Many is the time I went out after supper, carrying &.sack and picked. up our fuel supply for the next day. It was bone- dry, light in weight, and entirely odorless. But what a fire it would make! Many a fine batch of - PLAYFUL PRESIDENT - i LN - systematically starting homemade bread came from an oven heated by 'cow-chips in the stove. 3 We wouldn't want to back to old-time heating -- or plumbing -- but I do hope stories of 'the past. will "'be. handed down through the ages lest modern liy- - ing be taken too much for grant- ed. I was going to say "easy liv- - ing" -- but is it? The more con- veniences we have the harder it is to deal with adverse conditions unexpectedly. A car stalls in a snowdrift; * the driver. gets out, often hatless, and without rub- bers. His wife or girl friend sits shivering. in the car, scantily clothed and on her feet spike- heeled pumps. Weatherwise we always hope for the best but we never seem to 'prepare for the worst. Tomorrow I'm supposd to at- tend a meeting. I shall not be among those present, I'm a fair- weather traveller! Folding Up The Featherbeds! One hig reason why houses cost so much is that the output per man-hour ' of carpenters, bricklayers, masons, painters, et al. is skimpy in proportion to the $2-to-$5-an-hour wages they draw. Restrictions designed to spread work 'and keep output low -are written into thousands of building - trades contracts. Most painters insist on using. brushes where sprayers would do the -job a.lot faster. Carpen-~ ters resist prefabricated panels, and in some places. panels fast- ened together at the factory are actually taken. apart at the building 'site and nailed togeth- er again, Some locals lay down a maximum daily quota of bricks, studs or square feet of surface for bricklayers, carpen- ters, painters, Specialization is carried to the point where a contractor on a small .job may have to hire one pipe fitter to lay 'the pipe out and another to join it, Recently the AJF.L.-C1O.s 19-union Building and Construc- tion Trades 'Department took what seemed a momentous step toward eliminating such cost- boosting practices. Announced at the AF.L.-C.I1.O. executive coun- cil meeting in Miami Beach was an anti-featherbedding c'ode uietly drawn up over the past three years .by the bullding- trades union and spokesmen for . the National Constructors Asso- ciation, whose members account for 80% of the U.S.'s heavy 'con- struction. The man behind the code: old (70) Bricklayer Rich- ard James Gray, the B.C.T.D.'s unorthodox president, who shocked his fellow labor leaders at the AF.L.-C.1.O. convention in Atlantic City, N.J.,, two months ago by urging a volun- tary one-year wage freeze to hold prices down. Gray's argu- ° ment for wage restraint also ap- plies to the anti-featherbedding code: high construction costs are against the interests of building- - trades workers, because high costs curb demand, and lower demand means fewer jobs. In its main provisions the code calls for an end to: Union control over naming of foremen, {op 5 The widespread practice of late and stopping early. _ i Limits on output, e.g, daily quotas. of bricks per bricklayer. 'Restrictions on the full use of proper tQols or equipment. Slowdowns, forcing of on time, spread-work tactics, stand- by crews and featherbeddin practices, - > These provisions will have no real effect unless and until they are written into local contracts. But in the building trades even a start toward folding the fea- therbeds is revolutionary, -- From TIME, na 'striped and' polka-dofied native : costume and headdress, Burmese ' President U Win Maung carries a sword as he happily tribes" at.Rangoon.

CULLEN NEA Staff Correspondent Paris, -- NEA -- Is French youth laxer in its morals than' its elders? Is there more im- morality in France today than before the war? A recent survey of people, - aged 18 to 30, came up with this shocker: French youth today. is far more moral than its elders. On the whole, the young peo- le interviewed were straight- faced, some even puritanical, in their attitudes towards free love, marriage and fidelity. Surprisingly, nearly halt (47 per cent) of those interviewed have already settled down in. marriage, the majority of these being occupied with raising families, ~ ; The eight million persons ba- tween the ages of 18 and 30 in France today are the vanguard of a revolution that is as pro- found in its implications as that of "1879. They are rejuvenating France. 8 In 1970 France present rate of population: growth exceeding that of all its neighbors, Before the war it was known as a "dying nation" where deaths actually exceeded births. : 3 What will be the impact of this new generation on French life?

Eighty-five per cent claim to be happy; and of these, 24 per cent to be very happy. Women are happier than men; married persons happier than single, Is love important? Forty-eight - per cent declared it very im- portant, while another 32 per cent found. it rather important. Typical reply: "Love? Oh boy! It's as important 'as life itseif. - And then, it's the only luxury we can afford these days." Trial marriage, however, is frowned upén, particularly by working class and rural youth. "It sibo- tages marriage," is a typical re- sponse, . : Does fidelity» seem essential? Nine out of ten (91 per cen!) tind it essential. Says a resigned husband: "With four kids, one | is no longer a teen-ager; the fire } dies down." What is France's No. 1 pro%- lem? Algeria, 28 per cent; to find a. stable government, 24 © per cent; the stability of the franc, 15 per cent, What is good in France, what bad? About all that youth can find to praise are the postal ser- vice, French railways and. per- 'sonal freedom. Rated 'as bad are politics (96 per cent), the gov- ernment; economics and housing,- "What's . wrong?" echoes a shop-keeper. "Everything. There is no authority, only an- '-archy.
