Before I could get out of the car, the dog's owner, Mrs. B, was on the scene, calling me ugly names and screaming that she would kill me if the dog died. She and her husband (a young couple who recently lost their first child) rushed the pet to a veter- inarian. The dog didn't die. Back from the veterinarian's, they came to our apartment and demanded that I pay the bill---Mr. B. saying he would beat me up if I didn't pay. I refused, not because of the money involved, but because of their uncivilized attitude and gen- eral misbehavior in the matter. Since the accident they have been making nasty remarks about us, loud enough for us to hear; and as a result Clare and I have p to move. We will have to move in with friends for the time being, which is inconvenient for STORK-FASHION 4880 12-20 By ANNE ADAMS . MOTHER-TO-BE! Look pretty! Be well - dressed!

Yesterday the Bees (I'll call them) came over again to say I had te pay half the bill, and when I again refused, there was more name calling on their part. It seems we have always been bothered by neighbors, although Clare and I are young, considerate and peace loying percons, who don't bother the neighbors and ask only to be let alone. We have been called snobs, etc., because we refuse to associate with people we don't want as friends. I should like your opinion as to whether I was wrong in refusing to pay the bill, and will you suggest a "good neighbor" policy for us in future? C.P. BOTH AT FAULT Dear C. P.: Looking at the wrangle from the Bee's viewpoint; you are adding insult to injury, in refusing to pay the veterinar- ian's bill. And from your angle, of course, they are being an in- tolerable nuisance in jumping down your throat repeatedly about the accidental sideswiping of their pet. As a disintererted referee, it is my impression that both the Bees and you are at fault for the ugly atmosphere that has developed. However, the Bees are definitely the worst offenders against good neighbor policy in the hullabaloo. They are aggressively fomenting the quarrel -- beginning with Mrs. B's unjustified threats and name calling before you had a chance to voice regret and offer any suit- able restitution within your power. Such belligerence tends to provoke obstinate defiance in the person assailed, and in this case Mrs, B. had little right to reproach you for the dog's plight. Had the animal been killed, the responsibility would have been the owner's primarily, for letting him {loiter in the public domain as a traffic hazard. RESPECT PRIVACY Even so, after exposing the Bees to themselves--I hope--by this ap« praisal of their misconduct, it seems fair to say that you might have displayed more charity of mind after you'd had time to re- flect. Their recent bereavement in the loss of their firstborn should have mitigated your resentment of Mrs. B's wild outburst when she feared the dog was killed. The disciplined adult response would have been to control your anger and say quietly, "I'm sorry it hap- pened; I appreciate your distress: Sally I drive you to the vet's--," In my juugment, it isn't obliga- tory upon you to pay any »art of the first aid bill. I don't think a jury would hold you liable for it. But as a mature act, you might pay half, just to settle the argu- ment--not because you are '"'bluf- fed" by the Bees. If you've al- ways had trouble with neighbors, something is wrong with your so- tial reflexes. Apparently you infer that '"'good neighbor" is syrony- mous with "bosom friend." Not so. e good neighbor is courteous, considerate, helpful in emergency, while keeping his exchange on a formal basis that respects others' privacy and guards his own--and you have to be emotionally adult to manage this.

CLEVELAND MYERS Some parents suppose that the fatter a baby is the healthier he is. If, however, he is so overweight as to arouse questions in their minds they may blame it on his glands; and -a few doctors who have not kept up with modern medical science may encourage these parents in this belief, "even may dose the. youngster with re- ducing drugs, without considering food the child eats. Yet the lead- ers in medical research are warn- ing us that very, very few cases of overweight in infancy, child- hood or adulthood are glandular in source. You may remember the day when books and magazines were authorities about" overweight from glandular irregularities; and how this drivel was lapped up with great gusto, especially by all fat mamas and papas and parents of fat children. As lohg as you could blame overweight of yourself or child on glands, you felt no respon- sibility for controlling your appet- ite or for cultivating it for ba- lanced diets.

If this child is allowed to continue in obesity, he'; pretty sure to be so at four or 40; and the chief cause will be his excessive intake of food, Check Obesity in Childhood With a Well-balanced Diet tremendous progress in purchas- ing and preparing a balanced diet for her growing child. But she hasn't done as well at checking the intake of food, especially fat- tening food, by her child one, seven or fourteen who is over- weight, This problem is growing harder with the many attractive sweets available and the mount- ing tendency of most children to buy them. Besides, the average mother year by year seems less able to deny her child of any age anything he wants, thanks to the prevailing theories of restraints-to-' the-winds in child-rearing. NO SECONDS I have been impressed with a notable exception--the mother of four girls, the eldest 13. During their visit of several days recently in our home, this daughter (eldest of our 12 grandchildren), who seems to have a big appetite, was sometimes arbitrarily commanded by her mother like this: "Sorry, but no seconds on that, it's too fattening." Often I heard this daughter ask, "Is this fattening?" She doesn't seem to be resistant Christmastime is crochet time. Since smaller items are the ans- wer to fast easy-to-make gifts, piece.

HOLLYWOOD HIGHLIGHTS By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- No event in recent months has saddened Hollywood as much as thé death of Susan Peters last Friday. The movie neonle had their memories of the brilliant young actress who flashed on the screens during the war years. She appear- ed opposite Robert Taylor in '"'Song of Russia' and critics hailed her as a bright new dramatic star. I first met her in 1945 when she was recovering from the hunting accident wound that paralyzed her from the waist down. She was liv- ing in a small Beverly Hills ap- artment with her husband, Rich- ard Quine. Susan still had her Irish beauty and spunk. She told proudly of how she had a temperature of 106 after the accident and the doctors gave up hope for her. But she had been able to murmur to her husband, "I just wanted you to know that I'm not going to die." In her first interview after the accident, she reported she had ta- ken three steps in her new braces. "I ought to be walking pretty well in three months," she enthused. COMEBACK Would she act again? "Just let them try and stop me," she said. She never was able to walk, but she did act again. Her first job was three months later, on a radio drama with Van Johnson. She came through with flying colors. All Hollywood is Mourning The Recent Death of Susan Peters hand-operated car and even taking flying lessons, Christmas of 1946 was a joyous one, She and Dick had adopted a baby boy, Timmy. The doctors said she might be able to act in a movie. The picture was "Sign of the Ram" and she played a mean wo- man in it. "Sign of the Ram' was not a success, and it was Susan's last picture. After that, her mar- riage to Quine cracked up. Their friends reported that it was en- tirely her doing. His loyalty re- mained steadfast, they said, but she did not want to tie his life to a cripple. ALONE Afterwards, Susan made her life dlone. She wanted to be indepen- dent and worked herself to the limit of her frail health. She toured all over the country in '"The Bar- retts of Wimpole Street" and "The Glass Menagerie." When 'I. saw her for the last time, she proudly brought out her rave reviews, For the first time, she made no claim that she would walk again. "How can I--I have no spinal cord," she sald. "It will take longer than I love for the doc- tors to discover how to fix that." She was running out of hope, and she came to the end of it last week. 'She wouldn't allow anyone: to help her recently," said the doc- tor after she died. "I believe she Later she was driving her own lost interest in living." 2 KEEP IN TRIM By IDA JEAN KAIN The trouble with excess pounds is that they come on so gradually we don't always spot where they come from. When Alice In Wonder- land polished off the cake calories, she suddenly grew tall and knew, of course, the cake was to blame. But in the middle age when we continue to eat cake and all the other calories, nothing happens suddenly. No, but slowly, too slow- seems my dieters would like me to find some way for them to eat calories and keep their figures too. "Meet some of us must-haveg half way," they urge, I found that on the subject of desserts whether you 'ake them occasionally or leave them strictly alone depends on the individual. An occasional dessert is quite in order. . .in fact, I think it takes the boiedome out of very strict dieting. One reducer who lost some 80 pounds allowed herself a fav- orite dessert once a week. She claimed that kept her from feeling deprived but did not prevent her from losing weight. Others confess that one big, rich fattening dessert and all reducing bets are off. These dieters have asked for some low-calorie dessert suggestions which allow 100 to 150 calories for daily desserts. Here they are. . . Fruit and cheese are a highly satisfying combination --one ounce cube of cheese plus half a tart apple or mellow pear; or a whole apple and a half ounce of cheese. Frozen fruits provide delicious desserts for dieters. Frozen cube pineapple or luscious strawberries, raspberries, peaches or apricots are all a "treat. One four-ounce serving of these fruits, which is third of a package, contains about 100 calories. Of course, cream on fruit boosts the calories, but no cream is needed. A combination of fresh fruit makes a perfect low-calorie des- sert. Mix diced oranges, halved grapes, cubed apple or pear, and a few slices of banana plus a little orange juice. If more sweetening is desired, add a tablespoon or two of syrup from canned fruit, Or sweeten with liquid sucaryl or powdered sacchrin, Fruit, whips offer variety for few calories.

We women like change, we like to move things around, and that goes for lamps, too. Lamps, prop- erly placed, make for ease and comfort and help avoid eyestrain. FLOOR LAMPS Select lamps according to fur- nishings, placing tall floor lamps (approximately 59 inches) close to high-back or large-scale chairs. They'll look better, just as lamps about three inches lower are best with low-back or small-scale chairs, Illumination an Important Asset To Well Balanced Furnishings Shades should be chosen care- fully, and those with white or very light inner lining will reflect more light. Plain shades look best and are most restful when lamps are placed near walls with paper of pronounced design or near fig- ured draperies. Choose the right table and the right lamp, for a large lamp just doesn't look right on a tiny table, and a small lamp seems out of place, just lost, on a large table. Use lamps properly to do right by personal beauty, too, if you use a vanity table for making-up then be sure to treat it to bal- anced illumination obtained by two lamps, one on either side, Un- less dressing table illumination is balanced, shows darkening one side of one's face tend to make for uneven make-up application.

Six nights a week and twice on Thursdays and Saturdays, the 23- year-old Canadian actor is, to all dramatic intents, beaten to death in the London production of 'The Troublemakers," now playing at the Strand Theatre. "Some day I'd like to play some other part than that of the good guy who gets it rough," said Sutton with a laugh. Recently he was tor- tured and beaten in "The Silent Man," a television film produced for North American audiences. He has also played the boxing hero in "The Golden Boy." ROLE OF STUDENT Sutton, who appears in Britain under the stage name of Warren Stanhope, "lives" only about 10 minutes in his present part. He plays a young liberal-minded stu- dent in an American university, and he is killed off in the first act by sofhe alcoholic fellow stu- dents who don't like his 'politics. The play gets its dramatic force fom the mental struggles of the murdered student's room - mate, who stands idly by while the killing occurs and is later smitten by re- morse. American actor Gene Lyons was an overnight success as the sensitive scholar who works him- self up to confession pitch--only to find a confession isn't wanted. The cast includes another Cana- dian, Mary Laura Wood, an attrac- tive brunette from Sackville, N.B., plays the murdered boy's sister. mend that the distance from the top of the dressing table to the centre, not to the top, of the lampshade, should measure 15 or 16 inches. The lamps should be about 36 inches apart, each set about 18 inches out from the centre of the mirror, and about 6 inches from the back of the dressing table.

IN RADIO AND TV Sutton, who made his stage de- but with the University of British Columbia Players Club, came to Britain three years ago after spare- time theatre parts in Toronto. Most of his work here has been with the BBC in radio and television, but he has also had a film role in "Tale of Five Cities," starring Barbara Kelly of Vancouver. In addition to his stage commit ments he now is '"'dubbing" the English version for the male lead in a Swedish film starring holly- wood's Signe Hc.sso. TARTAN NAME PLATES A crazé for tartan nameplates has been started by a Glasgow - |firm who have a factory in Stob- cross Street. The nameplates mea- sure 3% by 2 inches and 'are made by glueing tartan silk between a baseplate and a transparent panel on which the name is lettered. They are completely weatherproof, the tartan being protected by the thickness of the panel. The firm can supply tartans for about 1,500 clan or sect names. Although they have been on the market only a few months the nameplates have found their way to places as far apart as New- foundland and New Zealand and orders flow back from wherever they are seen, HOUSEHOLD HINT When you buy a raincoat, make sure it is long enough, and that it fastens securely almost to the bot- tom.
