I am. growing jealous and suspicious because my husband has started going with old col- lege pals, and he is drinking too much. Often he isn't home till midnight. He is lying to me, and when I question where he has been he says it is none of my business. He was never rude to me before, and I am sick over the whole thing. "We've been married seven years, and have a little boy. He was always a loving husband and father before this. I've remind- ed him that single men haven't the responsibilties he has, but still he goes out with them. He never takes me or the boy out anywhere unless we ask him to, and then he is truculent. "My nerves are cracking, and I can't stand this much longer. I have no family to turn to, so 1 ask your advice. MRS. AM." * When a man starts going out * without his wife, she usually * suspects the worst. But the * worst does not necessarily fol- ® low. Your husband is pro- * bably true to you, but his ® association with these old friends can be only a tempor- ary rvebellion against his own responsibilities. He sees them doing as they please, and sud- denly he decides to enjoy the same freedom. So off he goes, drinking with them, absenting himself from home,: and in general having himself a fine time. Don't think I do not under- stand your shock and dismay. You. are interested, however, in persuading him to return to his family. Instead of chiding him for his neglect, can you bring yourself to treat him as you would an erring child? Loving him as you do, try to trust him. Take it for granted there is nothing sinister in his mind, that he is only asserting what he calls his rights as an individual. He is not entitled to them (which he knows) but when you remind him of that "it only goads him to a declara- tion of independence that leaves you speechless and heartsick. During his absences, you stand alone to maintain some semblance of family life for your boy's sake, to protect him against the child's questions, to remind him only" of how much you both miss him. If you can do this, it" will remove his resentment toward you, and he will see you not as a Easy 'n' Breezy PRINTED PATTERN 47573 Sizes 12-20 40 byte Selo QUICK-CUT, swift-to-sew -- and divine for a simmering summer day!

This is not an easy course to follow when you are so far from a sympa- thetic family to confide in -- But isn't it true that your husband must WANT to stay home before he will? Perhaps you feel disinclined to talk to your minister or some {rusted friend of your husband. If you are really desperate, you might present the facts to the local branch of the Family Relations As- sociation and ask their advice.

He says that except for writing and loving him, I am quite free. (1 always wrote him about the few dates I do have.)

But my mother thinks I should wear it. . "What do you say? } HAPPY GIRL" If you don't want to wear the ring, that is your own de- cision. Most girls wear theirs proudly, and if any boy asks its meaning, they admit it. You are a bit confused in the definition of the word én- gagement. It indicates you promise to marry; it does not necessarily imply you must refuse dates with other friends. Boys and girls can have good times togdther without getting romantic, 'you know.

Wings For Flight It a kangaroo, say, or a frog, or a flea, or any land-living ani- mal, is to lift its body off the ground at all and stay in the air" even for a very short time, we know that it has to exert an intense muscular effort to do so. Then how easily from the ground and stay in the air in flight for hours at a time? Flight depends on wings. A wing, we might say, is a limb whose movement through the air produces forces that can counter- act the downward pull of grav- ity, and can also drive the body forwards through the air. It has long been known that wings can do these things, and from time to time adventurous people have tried to design mechanical wings capable of lifting a man and car- rying 'him along through the air . v. Men tried for a long time, by watching the birds, to learn how a man could fly; to-day, quite the opposite, we are try- ing to understand the flight of birds by applying principles which have emerged during the design of aeroplanes. The move- ments of a bird's or an insect's wings are extremely complicat- ed, and it is easier to feel our way into the very difficult prob- lem of animal flight. by drawing a distinction between two kinds of flight -- 'active flapping flight; and passive gliding flight. We can start our inquiry, then, by comparing the motion of a soaring eagle with that of a "glider" aeroplane; in both, the wings are used as fixed and rigid surfaces, ahd neither glider nor eagle uses an internal engine or source of power. From the very start of our study we must realize that all flight -- whether active or glid- ing -- depends on forces set up between the wing and the sur- rounding air. In a vacuum, an aeroplane or a bird would fall to the ground just as rapidly as a stone. We must also understand ..that the air only exerts a force against the wing when there is movement ' between them -- either by the wing moving through the alr or by the air moving past the wing. -- From "How Animals Move," by James Giay.' can a bird rise so. SMILING AT LIFE -- The former Anne-Marie Rasmussen, of Norway, and her husband Steven.Rockefeller, beam for their wedding portrait. The couple are on their honeymoon in the U.S. She marries into a personal fortune twice that of the richest man in her native country, Canada--""Lady of the Snows" -- ugh! Yes, there was a time wher people dreaded Canadian winters, myself among them, but now I have reached the point of dreading Canadian summers. One can defy the cold by using storm windows, extra heating and - warm clothing but one hasn't much protection against extreme heat -- except by air-_ conditioning, and that is some- thing that few homeowners can afford. And we have come to think we are living in a dust- bowl. Until last Friday there was rain everywhere -- east, west, north and south but never over- head. And then on Friday it actually rained for several hours. But I had to laugh. After -ix weeks of drought -- or was it eight -- the rain came just as I was taking a visitor to catch a bus at Cooksville. Wouldn't you know it? My nephew Klemi was here for a couple of days and he certainly didn't appreciate our heat after coming from a pleas- ant holiday in Banff, returning part way by boat. However, it was music. to my ears as we sat in the car waiting for the bus with the rain pelting down on the roof and windows. It wouldn't be so pleasant for Klemi after he reached Toronto. And have you discovered the heat can play queer tricks with all kinds of things. One day we went up to Milton returning home in the cool (?) of the even- ing. Along the Dundas Partner said -- "I don't believe our lights are working." So I pulled into a service station. Sure enough -- no headlights at all, high-or dim. The service-man said there must be something wrong other than burnt-but bulbs as it wasn't like- ly both: bulbs would go at the same timé. Well, after a bit of switching on and off everything was all right. It was the switch sticking midway between high and dim, due to excessive moist- ure. The same thing has hap- pened to my brake lights several times, The lights stay on after the brake pedal has been re- leased. Another time, after hav- ing the gas tank filled, the car © was sitting' in the sun, which catised the gas to expand and leak out around the cap. Partner took care of that by syphoning some of {he gas into his lawn mower. Nephew George had a much worse experience, Driving from North Bay in the heat of the . day he blew a tire. Changed to the spare 'and then four miles from his destination the spare tire also blew! He set out to walk to the cottage where his wife ane HRONICLES %GiNgEr FARM Gwendoline P .Clarke family were staying with Dee and Art. Luckily Art was driv- ing back from Peterborough and overtook George on his tramp along the road. Then Art had to drive George back to Peterbor- ough for new tires and rescue George's car off the road. The joys of summer driving! Oh well, hot weather has its compensa- tions too. I lost five pounds dur- ing the last heat. Now after two cool days we are heading into - the high 80's again. For how long -- who knows? I wonder how many people read the report on the recent farm-accidents survey. You will remember the number of deaths and serious injuries: was quite staggering. If only farm folk wouldnt take such chances, espe- cially where children are con- cerned. Youngsters love to ride with Daddy on the tractor. But let the child make a sudden, un- expected movement, or his fa- ther's attention be momentarily diverted and tragedy can result. Worse still is the folly of allow- ing a young boy 'to operate a tractor alone. Last spring, if you remember, Jean Tweed was tele- vising a series of talks on farm life, most of them good. But the last pitcure showed her 13-year old son driving a tractor. Now if this had been shown as one thing that shouldn't be allow- ed on a farm that would have A i BLOOMING HEART -- This heart, complete with arteries and veins, is actually a potafo dis covered in the vegetable . bin of Mrs. Berta Norberg of RE Se been fine. But no, it was given as one of the attractions of farm life for growing boys. What an example -- on what was sup- posed to be a sort of educational programme, Well, to see our garden this year is to laugh. Such a conglom- eration, The only plants that have really made progress are those thdt seeded themselves. So we have citron among the to- matoes, cucumbers at the edge of the compost heap, cosmos among the beans and burning bush coming through the slats of the board-walk. Most prom- inent of all are the sunflowers --self-sown variety five feet tall, "seed that I set out myself 12 to 18 inches high, with poor, miser- able blooms. Like children who survive neglect, they are the sur- vival of the fittest. You will no- tice I said -- "who survive". With, children and plants there are many who don't. We can't depend on nature's law for sur-' vival, If we could only recognize the middle of the road it might help. I remember hearing of one spoilt child of whom the doctor said -- "Probably all he needs is a little healthy neglect!" Tollways Increasing attractiveness of the Illinois tollways * to motorists is evident as the toll highway commission' moves rapidly to get 'any remaining bugs out of the system, A program to end con- fusion over directional signs is reported to be 90 per cent com- plete. The program includes in- stallation of new signs, relo- . cation of others, and addition of information on some signs. . . . A great many motorists are discovering this summer 'what fine things 'the Illinois tollways are. Over the July 4 week end, tollway . revenues gave the §ys- tem a new. high for the sixth week, end in a row. The four- day holiday 'period brought in a total of $255,459. With révenues 'Wnogeasing at a faster rate than the commission had anticipated, Illinois's toll highway system is proving its worth as g financial investment. --Rockford (Ill). Register-Re: public.

There, with four live voices and three 'reels of taped orchestral music, he canned 33 singing commercials that would be heard some day soon over radio stations WLAP in Lex- ington, "Ky., KSUE in Susan- ville, Calif, WMAN in Mans- field, Ohio, and WFST in Cari- bou, Maine. It's a dull weekday when Van Brink, a fortyish veteran of radio promotion and advertis- ing, doesn't turn out at least that many jingles. As president and'sole proprietor of the Jingle Mill, Inc., he'is well on his way to becoming the Henry Ford of the singing commercial, Last year the Jingle Mill made and sold more than 6,000 custom commercials. This year, Van Brink already has orders for more than 6,000 from about 700 radio stations in 'every state except Alaska and Wyoming. At a price of $38 each, the jingles assure him of 'an annual gross of more than $250,000. How can Van Brink and his Jingle Mille do it 'at that price? Van Brink operates what amounts toa musical assembly line. _His three staff composers, when not penning rhymes ("Don't let troubles bother you; Guardian' Loan will see you through") .t6 already written music, are turning out tunes for the Mill's library of more than 500, melodies. At five to six-week intervals, Van Brink assembles a fifteen-piece orches- tra and tapes' the new music. Each day, he records whatever orders ("Do you want to lose some weight? Want to feel "really great?") have accumu- lated, Radio stations can order the jingles set to specific music, selected from sample reels. Or * they can leave it to the Jingle Mill's judgment, only choosing a Van Brink musical category -- hip, soft .shoe, high hat, breezy and light, Dixie, blues, rock and roll, lush and. slow, weird, country, Latin, "march. "I tell you what's a kick," he said. "It's when a station re- "ports that Sam's Drive-in said ~ "the jingle was great" Van Brink walked off humming. a melody (soft shoe: "Need a shirt cleaned, a suit pressed? Morgan Cleaner cleans the best"). a Embossing and perforation of its film plastic is being con- 'sidered by one manufacturer to reduce the hazard . potential 'of the plastic garment bag.
