He drags away with of destruction and disaster, loss, sorrow, scan- strife. The joyful things, the good things, he cannot take because we lock them away a memory box and in the years to.come wil! recal! ly the best. ~ ° Even when tragedy strikes we can sometimes see that ' Fate has a kind side to her mysterious face. On December «19 Trooper W. C. Hungerford arrived in Oshawa, home on "leave from Germany where he had been stationed with «his regiment for the past two years. There was a gay 'family re-union and the next day his grandmother, who 'had welcomed him so warmly, was killed in an automobile ' accident. Then there is the miracle of Harry Chapman's survival 'of a 50-foot fall on a construction site. Mr. Chapman is "mending and recuperating in Oshawa General Hospital and philosophically facing a long convalescence. ; Not for a moment during the shattering experience did 'he lose consciousness. In fact, he had the presence of 'mind to brush a bit of protruding wire (that might have + decapitated him) out of his way and the will to flex his 'knees before he hit land. He told me that he had no sense -of panic and remembered looking at his feet on the way 'down. His natural agility and his work-outs on the gym 'floor as a lad, no doubt stood him in good stead in a fate- ;ful moment. : So Harry did a dry splash-down. His clothes were "Austy but not torn, and later his eye-glasses were recover- ed, quite intact. Now, For A Nice Cup O'Tea After emergency treatment and X-rays he was re- moved to an. intensive care unit where, through the haze of sedation, he startled the nurse by asking for a cup of . tea. He kept up his request until finally the doctor, mut- tering something about "these English types..." allowed him his "cuppa"'. It hasn't been all that easy, but his progress in over- coming shock and maintaining the status quo has been phenomenal. He has graduated from liquids to a soft diet including, by permission, his own panacea, a cheese sand- wich and a glass of stout. If that's what they mean by stout-hearted, Harry Chapman certainly is it. ~ Christmas' Day was wide open for family visiting at Oshawa Genera} Hospital. This is a kind gesture on the part of the management, knowing as they. do the stress that it lays on the reduced staff on duty. Isn't it too bad, that parents, given the privilege of taking their children to visit a sick relative, do not control them or make them behave? Rosy-faced cherubs were operating and interfering with the elevators and amusing themselves boisterously in the corridors. They would have been rosy somewhere else if I'd had a free hand. I picked up a "Visitor's Guide" and since the hospital is fully occupied during the winter months particularly, and there is consequently much visiting I feel it pertinent to pass along some of the reminders: "The room, not the bed, is semi-private, Politeness may prohibit him from complaining, but the patient's com- fort could be jeopardized by someone sitting on his bed. Please use the chairs provided. Wait For Your Entrance "Don't be a happy wanderer. Make certain of the cor- rect room first and always knock before entering. The blushes you save may be your own. "4A gea of upturned faces is bound to upset the patient. That is why we suggest only two visitors in a room at one time. If others are there, please srait or return later. 'Do not disturb the patient's peace of mind. No news is always better than bad news and a worry-free patient comes home sooner "Too much of a good thing can spoil the pleasure and too long a visit, or too many visitors at once, can be a heavy strain on a sick person. We suggest that 20 min- utes is usually the ideal time for a visit. "Be considerate and always observe the 'No Smoking' signs posted in the hospital. 2 tments don't 25 "Treats and trea please don't bring food, candies or drinks for the patient. Carefully planned diets play a big part in helping a person back to health and they're just what the doctor ordered!" All of which makes plain, common sense but many of these rules are 'more honored in the breach than the ob- servance". I've heen and I've seen. All brides are beautiful, they say, but Don Jackson's Joanne radiated happiness at their wedding reception last "week. Perhaps it was because she was so happy to see her 'newly-wedded husband surrounded by his closest and "home-town friends on this all-important occasion and she chad chosen it to be so. " $She might have elected to have been married from sher parents' home in Tempe, Arizona, but then, as in the "case of his skating triumphs, only a very few of Don's friends could have been present. Friends Honor The Occasion It was a candlelight wedding with many of the guests in long gowns and formal attire. The bride's only attendant peas her sister, Miss Gretchen Diercks of Newport, Cali- fornia, who wore a floor-length gown of Nile green peau de soie topped with a forest green velvet bodice. She car- ried yellow sweetheart roses, white flowers and dark foliage. Some two hundred guests attended the reception and Mr. E. R. S. McLaughlin acted as master of ceremonies. The bride's mother wore a formal gown of gold and pale green brocade and Mrs. Jackson, lime green velvet with an empire bodice of moss green velvet. The next day the couple left for Philadelphia where they are appearing in the Ice Follies which opened on Christmas Day. A reception and company party awaited them at their hotel after the opening show and they are planning a honeymoon in Hawaii in May when the season is over. They have not yet decided where they will make their home. "We'll have a few more years in Ice Follies," they said, "then we'll decide." They were showered with good wishes from near and Yar, high and low. Among the telegrams were the follow- dng: from the Honorable John P. Robarts, Prime Minister 'of Ontario, "'Please extend my congratulations and best 'wishes and those of my colleagues to Donald Jackson and his lovely bride on this memorable day. All of us in On- tario are extremely proud of Donald." From the Honorable M.'B. Dymond MD, Minister of "Health, Ontario, "Sincere congratulations to you, Don, and "your bride, and best wishes for health and happiness in *the years ahead." From Lord Thomson of Fleet, "I join your many friends everywhere in extending congratulations and good -wishes."" From the Right Honorable Lester B. Pearson, "Prime Minister, Ottawa, "'Warm good wishes on your wed- 'ding day and may you share many years of happiness together."" And so say all of us. So we come to New Year's Eve. Celebrate or not, ac- cording to your mood. I have no preachment to make for wre are each answerable to our own conscience but this I beg: Lock the garage door and take a taxi. The price of a fare is infinitesimal compared with the price of a life. err eee ene. Controversy swirled around the royal family in Holland, faced with its second un- popular marriage in two years.

Yesterday the doctor confirmed what I have suspected for several weeks. I am pregnant. Last night I told my dad and mother and they went to pieces. My dad demands that I name the person who is responsible. I told him that I am the person who is responsible. The man re- jected me for a year but I chased him shamelessly and fi- nally caught him in a weak mo- ment when he had had too much to drink. The man is my brother-in-law. If my sister knew she would surely divorce him, I don't want to break up their marriage and hurt innocent people. Further- more they have small children whom I love dearly. I plan to go to a home for un- wed mothers and put my baby up for adoption. Then I will move to another city and start life over. My parents are putting such terrific pressure on me to tell them who the man is that I am a wreck. Please rush your ad- vice, Ann. I need the strength you can give me.--Done Enough Already Dear Done Enough: Your brother-in-law is getting a bet- I completely agree with you. Dragging his name into the mess would accomplish nothing constructive. It would only do tremendous damage. So keep quiet, my dear. You'll be glad you did. |. Dear Ann Landers: My hus- band and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary recently. I'm not pinning any medals on myself but it hasn't been easy. Everyone raves about my pies. They always bring the ter break than he deserves. But}: highest prices at the church ba- zaar. Dutch apple is my spe- cialty. Last night my sister and her husband were here to play a lit- tle cards. When I brought in the coffee and pie, my husband said: 'You have never made a decent pie in your whole life-- why don't you give up?" I laughed, thinking it was some sort of joke. And then he said: 'I could do better my- self and I'll prove it." Well, Ann, he stomped into the kitchen and started to pull out everything in sight. The guests left and I went to bed. At 3 a.m. he was still banging around the kitchen. This morning the kitchen looked like a tornado had hit it. There was no pie in sight. My sister phoned me and said I should never bake another pie for my husband as along as he lives. I'm inclined to forgive and forget. What do you say?--Hurt Dear Hurt: I say if you've lived with this nut for 50 years you don't need any advice from your. sister--or from me. Just keep.on doing what van're da- ing. Forgive and forget. ear Anh the woman who geis © riously stoned' on two drinks sounds like me. 4 Finally I went to a doctor and discovered that my system can not handle stimulants (and some medicines) at a normal level. If I can politely refuse a drink, I do so, If I can't, then I take a Tom Collins or that has a lot of ice cubes in it. I drink very slowly. If the hos- tess wants to refill glass, I lie a little and say, "Oh no, this is my third." When her back is turned, I get a ginger ale. So you see, Ann, a few little tricks can go a long way toward keep- ing people sober.--Sneaky Alice Dear Alice: If this is the way you want to handle it, fine, but I don't see any reason to go to so much trouble. Why not take a er ale to begin with and eliminate the hocus-pocus? SOCIAL NOTICE AT HOME Mr. and Mrs, R. E.
