(73¢) Bokar Farm (Continued from Page 5) member being impressed with the amount of hard work involved. The raising of purebred dairy stock is an interesting and profitable voca- y | tion, but one that calls for hard work, as well as skill and knowledge, it appears. Farm Buildings There are two houses on the farm; ome, built by Ralph Boake, is occupied by the help, the other, an architect-built white frame house being the family residence. While this home was being built, some five years ago, the family lived in the Old Stone Lodge, on the highway between Whitby and Osh- awa. "We started to build our house in December, 1940, and moved in during August, in 1941," Mr. von Pilis said. Built by Clare McLean, a Toronto architect, it is a lovely modern home in every respect, comprising 11 rooms and three bathrooms on two floors. The luxurious carpet, covering the large living room floor, the exquisite Delft china, the dis- tinctive drapes harmonizing per- fectly with all the other furnish- ings, the well-filled bookcases and all the ornaments and appointments throughout the house contributed to the impression that here was a home of comfort and good taste. "You must have employed a very ing your new life to Mrs. von Pilis, as I looked around the living room admiringly. At this, she smiled happily, and admitted that she herself, had plazined the home decoration. "I have to live here, and so I pre- ferred to arrange the home to suit our own tastes," she exclaimed, and then, in her usual gracious manner, invited me to go through the house, one of the most charming I have ever seen, Later, I went through the big barn, in company with the owner. The barn, which was built on a cement foundation soon after Mr. von Pilis bought the farm, is 156 ) | long by 52 feet wide. Upon entering this spacious structure, we first looked. in at the milk house, then passed along the stalls, where the Jersey cows were contentedly munching and occasionally licking at the salt blocks near their heads. Two magnificent bulls, fortunate ly locked safely in roomy stalls, ap- peared to embody a terrific amount of 'strength and power. But consid- cy. | ering their high breeding, I thought they stared at us in a rather rude, not to say, hostile manner, "They're all right, if you know how to handle them," my host assured me, adding that they might resent the presence 0 | of strangers, while being amenable to approaches by their familiar at- tendants, Without attempting to de- scribe in detail the equipment and installations of the barn, I can only say they are as complete and effi- cient ds the rest of the modern facilities on this well operated dairy farm, . . City Of Charm During my chat with Mr. von Pilis and his wife, I learned that while they cherish many happy memories of the Vienna of old, they find many compensations in their new life here. "How was Austria faring during recent years?" I inquired, mindful that conditions there had not been too good, a decade or so ago. "Prior to the Anschluss, the coun- try. was coming along nicely, mak- ing a good recovery, economically and otherwise." "And is it the gay city of music and waltzing that musical comedy composers and others lead us to be- lieve?" "Well you know, Austrians are hard-working and industrious, and they throw their whole hearts into their daily tasks, just as they do in their lighter pursuits. They like to work as well as to play, and enter into both with enthusiasm. 'We found life pleasant in Vienna, up to 1938." "What were your favorite pas- times?" I asked my host. "I was fond of skiing and skating | and water sports, and also enjoyed tennis, Hunting deer was probably my favorite sport." "He was really a most successful Nimrod," smiled his wife, and bow- ing toward her, I ventured to say that he had been most succéssful in capturing and bringing to Canada his most precious trophy; at which she rose and bowed in turn, in her inimitably charming manner. "You have a fine Opera House in Vienna, have you not?" I inquired of 'Mrs. von Pills. " "Yes, the Viennese State Opera is the best in Europe. Many of the leading New York Metropolitan Opera stars sang there, before be- ing enticed t othe States, including such singers as Melchior, Flagstad, | I Lehman, Schuman and others." "The Met has only missed Voerl- ker, the greatest of all tenors," Mr. von Pilis observed, going on to ex- plain that only those who have heard him have heard the greatest. Unfortunately, for some reason or other, 'there are not even any vic- trola records of his voice." "You enjoyed a good life in Vienna, and apparently are enjoy- ere," I com- mented. Then, to my t, "Do you like your present occupation as well as your previous one?" "Well," . he smiled, "I wouldn't care to sit behind a desk again, trying to become lyrical over hot water bottles, tires and other 'Tubber goods." "But didn't you find farming harder?" "At first I found it hard to lift a two-bushel wheat bag and do similarly heavy chores," he agreed, and agreed also with my suggestion that his past fondness for outdoor sports had stood him in good stead for his present strénuous life. He is a commanding figure of a man and a good example of how athletic sports develop a fine physique. ; Like This District . "What do you think of this Whit- bysPickering district?" I' inquired, asking the question invariably put to newcomers. '"Y like this locality very much, and have found this neighborhood one' of good solid :stock.: The 'people Today 's Short Story 'PROPOSAL ACCEPTED By Holly Whelan Rosemarie Tomkins thought she'd lose her mind trying to pick the man she should marry. Ever, other evening, Russell Farnswort was ringing her doorbell, eager 'to febeat ROM ane pleas that she ay ye. On alternate nights, it ddy Stoneleigh who came pir to tell her she'd bet- ter make up her mind--or else. The else was that he'd walk awa from her doorstep and up a churc! aisle with some other girl. Her family was thoroughly fed up with her waverings and crastination.. She'd worked hl sel! into such a state she couldn't sleep. Her father had to keep yelling at her to Nop rowlin, around the house at ours oO the night, so other Ho could 84 some sleep even if she didn't want any herself. Russell she always compared to Ronald Colman. e had perfect manners and was unbelievably Sven tampered, Laddy could dou- ble for Clark Gable. The sports Pages of a newspaper were prob- bly the only ones he read. He talked loud and fast and sometimes Sou h, but the way he had of miling at her with his eyes all the Hite he was doing it made her ove It'd seem the problem'd be easy for her to solve on account of the differences between the two men. But what wife didn't sometimes declare she wished she'd married someone who didn't do this or that the way her husband did? And Rosemarie, in such event, would know she actually could have mar- ried her husband's opposite! Ages afterward, "he couldn't have told with certainty how Tong she'd have gone on driving hersel crazy but for Laddy. Laddy set a definite date for ending the tri- angle. The coming Saturday night he'd offer her the name of Mrs. Stoneleigh for the final time! Rosemarie wondered if she'd ac- cept his proposal if only because she'd never have another 'oppor- tunity. Then the thought pene- trated that his attitude wasn't one betokening eternally deathless Jove It Laady could turn off his fee er next Saturday iy just as he'd switch off an electric light, surely he had little in common with Romeo or Robert Browning, - The next Saturday evening be- longed to Russell, but Rosemarie told Laddy to come over at seven o'clock. Russell wasn't due until eight and Laddy'd be gone by then, ~--if she rejected him. She did, but he attempted to argue her' into reversing the de- cision. He'd finally slammed out the door just as Russell came striding up the walk. The sight in- flamed Laddy. He took the three strides necessary to bring him and Russell together. Then his fist swung 2 forward, taking Russell off Rosemarie expected Laddy to turn back to the house to ascer- tain whether that dramatic bit of action had scored an effect on "her. He must have heard the door bang as she flew out onto the Doren. But Laddy stalked off. And marie dashed to Russell's side to feel his face and keep anxiously asking him, "Are you all right, Russell?' She married Russell as she'd in- tended. Laddy never married any- one! She must have misjudged the quality of his los, or obviously he'd never have stayed single year after year. There was no opportunity of her to discover how he'd react at meeting her again. Laddy"d left town. She got her only information about him from occasional two-line items in Alumni News, the little paper their old high school printed, Rosemarie had to be told who was telephoning her when Laddy 'fin- ally returned. In town on business for a few days, a yen to see some of his old friends had overcome him. Of curse Rosemarie invited him to dinner. She cleaned her best silverware and got a hair styling and mani- cure. Would Laddy be the same? Russell'd ceased reminding her of Ronald Co!man. He'd learned to talk more and louder, In business, he maintained, a man had to piv ~Illustrated by D. Chalmers But Laddy stalked off, and Roses marie dashed to Russell's side, up or people listened to the other fellow. ; How, Rosemarie wondered, would Russell and Laddy get on together, considering the circumstances of their last meeting. She could turn the radio on to relieve tension. Laddy'd been a great one for lively dance music. Laddy looked the same. Or as much as she could reasonably ex- pect. He'd gotten heavier, but so had Russell. And so had she, but she hoped Laddy wouldn't notice. If she hadn't been involved in their past history, she'd have thought Russell and Laddy were merely good business acquaint. ances. Or maybe they were de- liberately keeping the conversation on safely impersonal topics. Laddy seemed to have tamed down a lot. She couldnifimagine the old Laddy spouting iness statistics. But Russell used to recite poetry to her -- though now if she'd remind him of it he'd doubtless laugh and say she was imagining things. She switched on the radio after dinner to a lively band. But first Russell, then Laddy dialed in their favorite radio programs, Russell a mystery stery and. Laddy a news commentator. They talked about how much of an opportunity South America'd offer for f.ture busi- ness. Rosemarie didn't mind. It gave her an opportunity to observe Laddy closely and really make up, her mind about him. After he'd said good night and hoped they'd get together sooner than they had the last time, Rosemarie left Rus- sell to lock up the house and went directly upstair:. She sat down before her dressing table and stared at herself in the mirror. Russell, finding her in that pose, was 'plainly disturbed. "You--feel all right?" he In- quired, "Oh, fine." He looked relieved. "Thought maybe you'd decided you--wished you'd married Laddy." Rosemarie's eyes met his in the mirror. "I've always been glad it was you," she said. "I was just wondering why I ever drove my- self . crazy and wasted almost a yeah, fh uying to make up my mind." dn't, though, finish her Ht aloud and tell him, *"Be- cause there isn't a hair's breadth difference between the two of you ten years later." are good to get along with, honest and helpful." " "That is a real tribute to your good neighbours," I said, "but your fiearest neighbour is some distance away, a quarter of a mile or far- ther." "Well, despite that quarter-mile, our neighbours are closer to us. in every way than they would be in Toronto," stated this outdoor man who apparently likes rural life and rural people, "And then," he point- ed out, placing his hand on the telephone, "we can keep in com- munication with them quite easily. It's a party line, you know, and a lot of fun." "We're never at all lonesome here," volunteered Mrs. von Pilis, and during several months we have guests every night. It is not easy to get domestic help, these days, so I keep busy most of the time. Then I enjoy the splendid radio pro- grams, especially the grand sym- phony concerts broadcast over the week-ends." During the week-ends, too, 11- year-old Barbara Mary comes home from Havergal College in Toronto, where she is a weekly boarder. Bar- bara was only three when she came to Canada, and now is as Canadian in her loyalties and outlock as any youngster could be. Barbara is as devoted to the white bull terrier, Ruby, as are the rest of the family, When this family canine pet was lost recently, Mr. von Pils went to extraordinary lengths to recover her, and in his own words, "my wife actually pray- ed for her safe return." Happily, through the efforts and prayers, Ruby was found on the Oshawa Golf Club fairways, and returned to her delighted owners. Finally, I asked Mr. von Pilis about his plans for the future, * "My plans," he said lightly, "are to breed the grand champion of the future. We have taken the cham- pion ribbon at our Parish Show in Brooklin in three successive years, but what & breeder is dreaming of are top honours at the C.N.E., National Dairy Show or the Winter Fair.'

As I looked out over the peaceful fields and hills of this Canadian homestead, I could not help thinking of what a Joy it would be to the occupants if they could bring their loved ones to this blessed land. And as I re- luctantly tcok leave of my new friends, I felt that this country needed them, needed millions more like them if her rich soil was to yield the bountiful harvests that it should, and she was to fulfil the glorious destiny ordained by a wise Providence and limitless natural wealth and resources. 2800 Servicemen Still Overseas Figures do not lie and in this case they illusirate the speed and efficiency with which the Canadian repatriation machinery has been working since the end of the war, Almost exactly one year ago more than 171,000 servicemen and women were still overseas.
