Tclny with Ion MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Suffering From Emotional Upset Matron Seeks Healthy Perspective Dear Mary Haworth: My wife lost her mother when she was two, then lived with an uncle and aunt until she was six, when her father married again. Our families lived as close neighbors and at an early age I felt Roxie had the most hate- ful stepmother in the world--as later proved true. In 1940 Roxie and I married and moved to ourselves and were doing well. But Roxie's parents learned who had been doing their work, and they nagged so for us to back to their farm that we gave in, reluctantly--our mistake. I worked the farm by day and held another job eight hours a night, and Roxie spent more time on eir chores than ours--though we d our own little house. When we had been married two years, Roxie's saepmom slapped her across a room without cause, which brought a rebuke from me. Later Roxie's dad beat Roxie out of some money, then had the nerve to ask us to sign papers when he wanted to sell property left by Roxie's mother. He got sore when I told him to give Roxie her share. DAD'S ESTATE GIVEN TYRANT Roxie's dad died a few years ago and his will left everything to his wife. Immediately he died, she said harsh things about us|," before everyone there and we said nothing. Later she wanted us to live with her, but we just couldn't-- ove | with him and neither could her mother, or married sister who tried it, Until three years ago she continued to|. harass us, then on the advice of the district attorney I notified her in writing to stay away unless she could act civilized. We don't drink, smoke, gamble or dance, and we go to church when we can, which isn't often, as we have an invalid son, our only child, who will never walk or sit alone. One of us has to be all the time. We love him so much and ask only to be spared as long as he needs us. What really hurts is the stepmoth- er's saying his condition was sent on us for being mean to her! I can- not believe that is God's way. Your views will be appreciated. B. C. BADGERED PAIR Dear B, C.: Your purgative let- ter, which ran to novelette length almost, must have got a load off your chest. Your methodical re- cital indirectly affords a favorable glimpse of yourself--as a kindly, conscientious person, fairminded, slow to anger, and disinclined to muck in gossip or recriminations. You are at your best as Roxie's husband, I gather, with a great sense of loyalty to her, and abid- ing concern to make her happy e best of your ability. Roxie is a shadowy figure in the nar- rative, almost ghostly in her pas- sivity, probably because she's SEE DIAGRAM rant, book, Park) to forgiveness. never found herself, positively-- due to being so consistently thwar- ted, exploited and fouled-up by the morbidly jealous hateful step- mother. No doubt Roxie learned early to hold her tongue and watch her sity in self-defence, in dealing with her weakling dad and his dragon wife, In comparison. to her, you are much more tough and out- spoken, perhaps, but by average standards, you are pretty meek and ' long-suffering, the record shows.

L Canadian Press Correspondent SYDNEY, Australi a (CP)-- There's a battle on Sydney's gol- den beaches--a wordy battle so far--about several hundred of the city's prettiest beach girls. Last month they held a surf carnival and life-saving exhibition to raise money for their surf clubs. They stepped right into offi- cial trouble. Surf-board riding is a pular sport at the famous Manly and | Bondi beaches. Throughout the summer the sands are crowded with visitors and an expert corps of' lifeguards keep a sharp watch on swimmers and surf-board ri- ders. Life-saving equipment is ready at regular spots along the beaches. Following the carnival the Surf Life-Saving Association sent hasty "please explain' notes to all its officials who took part in the car- nival. "We are not in favor of women competing in surf carnivals," said Eddie Sier, association spokesman, "Women are not strong enough physically to carry a heavy life- saving belt and line or fo swim competitively in surf races. They endanger their lives and those of In others when they do this. The association is primarily a life-sav- ing movement. Our officials are Toibidden to act at women's carni- vals." The girls were angry and came right back. Said 29-year-old Kay . Marzol: "The men said 'Girls cannot run a surf carnival.' We showed them. We got twice as big a crowd as the men get and we raised £200 to help our men's club pay for a new building.

Come Double Club Holds Easter Meeting The Easter meeting of the Come Double Club was held in North- minster United Church on Wednes- day evening, The opening worship service had a beautiful and ap- propriate setting. Salamon's "Head of Christ" was illuminated with candlelight and Easter lilies added their beauty to the scene which brought those assembled to a clos- the dimness of the candlelight came the solemn and lovely strains of Malotte's "Lord's Prayer" from a recording by the Robert Shaw Chorale. The Easter theme was used throughout the worship serv- ice, and was ably led by the com- mittee for the evening, Mrs. Wil- liam Fitches, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hunt and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sage.

From the minutes it was learn- ed that two donations had been made in the previous month, one of $25 to the flood relief and $100 to the Northminster building fund. Mr. Kenneth Farrow and Mr, Cedric Russell were named as delegates to the meeting of - the Inter - church Baseball League to be held at the CRA on Thursday evening.

CLEVELAND MYERS A good many fathers are so wrapped up in their work and strive so hard to make a good living for the family, hoping to they should die, that they don't do very well living with them day by day. All material things will perish, but what fathers can give the family now in wealth of happy hours at home will live on and on, Many mothers write me of the father who is a good provider but a more or less indifferent parent. He may be easily irked at the usual noises and quarrels among the children. He may not talk very much at mealtime, or enjoy con- versation or the ordinary family fun. Sometimes he may be as un- responsive as a stone or post to all the family about him, even though he may not seem to be positively unkind. BEST RECREATION from his day's work. Yet his wife may be just as weary. So, also, may the children. Just why should he consider himself so all-import- ant? Anyway, if he cultivated a good philosophy and resvonded wholeheartedly to his loved ones about him, he could gain thereby the best possible recreation. A mother of three boys writes that the eldest sucks his finger, doesn't do well at school and ac- cepts her help at books unwillingly. She reads to the two older boys and they go to the library to- gether. Then she gets to the real problem'; "My husband is a salesman and V3 Torr HOME PERMANENTS CHOOSE THE ONE TONI JUST RIGHT FOR YOUR HAIR {agcusAR Ye.

Then by the time I get the dishes done, it is time for the boys to go to bed, Sunday afternoons my husband usually sleeps, Maybe a month or two will pass before the four of us even ride together in the car. MEALTIME A PROBLEM "Our mealtimes are not partice ularly enjoyable. My husband says he has talked all day and doesn't care to talk. So the boys do all the taking, often having to speak to their father two or three times before he answers them." My repy in part: I'm sure you are a far better mother than oyu ink you are. But if you could win your husband to spend more time with the children, especially the eldest, things would go better. But just to tell him he shoull be a mort participating member of the family hardly would help. Watch for the slightest improve- ment in his ways and warmly compliment him then.
