BOARDMAN JUST AMONG HOUR Ss ELVES A Regular Department Conducted for Mirror Readers by Ina St. John. Dear Miss St. John: Don't you think every girl has a secret longing to be a career woman? After all they have al lthe glamour and admiration, Wihat compensation has a girl who passes up all that and becomes a housewife? S. SIXTEEN ANS.: There is no denying that most girls have a longing to become career women -- until they meet the man who turns their interest to love in a cottage. Often a career is as lonely as it is successful. There are compensations for the home-maker. Shé never has a dull moment in the rush of keeping her home attractive and comfortable -- her family happy and healthy. Who shall say she is not, in the long run, as happy--yes and happier than her glamorous career sister! Ina St. John Dear Miss St. John: My fourteen-year-old sister often sneaks magazines into her room that mother would not let her read. A simply won't tell tales, so what can 1 do? I know she must not read such trash. Hope to see your answer in Friday': Mirror. BIG SISTER ANS.: Why not ask her .to read the stories aloud to you, or to allow you to read them! Talking over the stor. ies she would soon realize that they are not suitable reading. Ina St. John Dear Miss St. John: I thought I would write to your in- teresting page about my problem. My brother and I live at home. He helps. our father in his business and mother needs me at home as we have a big house. Mother and Dad are older than most young people's. parents. They have always insisted on us go- ing where they went and never want- ed us to have young friends. Mother says we should stay with them while they live. I am twenty-six and my brother is twenty-eight. We dress as well as others but we are both shy among young people. I would love to get a job. Mother could send out the washing and get along without me by not making so many rugs and quilts, Do you think I am wrong in wanting to go out to work like most girls do? MARY ANS.: Well, Mary, you have given a number of the best years of your life to your home and parents. I do think it is high time for you to have some life of your own. If you remain at home without any young friends, what will you do when your parents are gone? A spinster's life is not the most enviable one. If vour mother was an invalid it would be different. By all means go out to work and make friends with people your own age. Your brother would be wise in joining in the social life of your young acquaintances. Ina St. John Dear Miss St. John: A few weeks ago I had a quarrel with my boy friend. He is an airman at Port Albert. I am in love with him and I believe he loves me too. He is very hot tempered. The trouble was that he took another girl out "rhile I was away one weekend, but he said some mean things and so did I. I told all my friends and my fam- tw that I was through, and I went to another city to work. Now I am romeo ceain as my father is very sick. I would love to write to my boy friend and ask him to come down, but I am ifraid everyone will laugh at me after oll I said about him. Do you think they would? JANE ANS.: To use a homely expression, Jane, "There is nothing ~to gain by eutting off your nose to save your face." Let them laugh. As: long as you are happy, why should you care! By the way, did you ever hear of the ~an who played to the gallery all his life and at the last found out that the gallery was empty?

Not many cities can match that record. It's the senior "B'"' cham- pionship this year, and this is the first time the Nationals have won that title. The O.B.A. senior 'A' cham- pionship has come to Stratford on three occasions. LS ee Only a few Stratford fans saw the Nationals clinch the championship in a weird game at Merritton last Satur- day. Until about the seventh inning, it looked as though a fifth game would be necessary to decide the title. Mer- ritton looked like a winner. until Chuck Males opened the seventh with ahome run. After that, there was no stopping our boys. They pounded the veteran Jack Nestor just as heavily as they pounded little Lefty Coderre in the early stages of the game. ; a RES Irish Miskimmons and Schoolmaster Earl Craig, the only players who. have been members of Stratford's four O.B.A. senior championship teams, were standouts in the Merritton game. The Schoolmaster took over the hurl- ing duties from Skip Pawley. It took the Schoolmaster an inning or two to get warmed up. After that, the Mer- ritton batters were helpless. Miskim- mons led the team at the plate, get- ting four hits in five trips. Chuck Males also shook the jinx which the Merritton pitchers seemed to have over him. When Chuck opened up, the Merritton fans knew it was no accident that he won the Intercounty batting championship. * * * Buzz Given was the victim of a boner by the umpires. Buzz hit the ball out of the lot. It should have been a home run, but the umpires al- lowed the Merritto nteam to convince them that the,ball had gone through the fence--instead o fover it. Buzz was held to two bases, and eventually scored anyway. But it was too bad that he should have been robbed of a perfectly legitimate homer. oe * * The junior Wossa football team had its first game of the season at the collegiate flats on Wednesday after- noon. Although the local boys were beaten, they were not disgraced. The final score was 6-5 in favor of Wood- stock. For a time there was reason to hope that the local students were about to end the domination of Wood- stock teams over Stratford in Wossa junior competition. fs * * * The home team scored a touchdown in the second minute of play, when Griffin went over the Woodstock goal line on an end run. Woodstock tied the score in the third quarter, on a long run by Harrington, who had taken a forward pass from Dewan. The Stratford boys were taken by sur- prise. They had expected the Wood- stock team to kick. Instead, it was a perfect forward pass, on third down. * * * After forcing two postponements, the weatherman was more consider- ate of the Normal School athletes on Thursday afternoon, when the field day sports were held at Queen's Park. No championships were de- clared, but thé students entered into the various events with great enthusi- asm. Those in charge of arranging the program were well pleased with the day's events. * * * Most of the outdoor sports, with the axception of Wossa rugby, have now been concluded for the season. Soon, badminton, basketball and probably hockey will be on the program. The hockey outlook looks more promising now there is a chance that the arena will not be closing, after all. The final decision will rest with the rate- payers, of course, but the fact that it is intended to open the building, pend- ing the vote on the by-law at the mu- nicipal elections, is at. least encour- aging. EN aft, News. from the camp of the Mont- veal Canadiens at St. Hyacinthe this week concerned Ray Getliffe of this sity, who plays for the Montreal team. 't was announced that Getliffe might be moved to right wing, as there is a nortage of right wingers in the St. Tyacinthe camp. Ray is an experi- need player, and it is believed, he would fit in capably. His work in the practices to date has caused much favorable comment. 2 Yankees Win Another World Series g 3 Ft The New York Yankees as they "whooped it u Brooklyn Dodgers in the final world series game at Ebbetts field.

Oo" thing to be said about the "Messengerettes" serving Canadian National Telegraphs in many Canadian cities, is that they do not whistle. Otherwise they possess the speed and effi- ciénecy of the boys they are re- placing. The army and war ser- vices seriously depleted the de- livery forces of Canadian. Na- tional Telegraphs and girls, such as the Vancouver lassie here pic- tured, have proven satisfactory for the day time distribution of cables, telegrams and social mes- sages.
