MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Stingy Attitude of Husband .Mortifies Wife and Small Sons Dear Mary Haworth: My hus- band and I have been married six years and have tree adorable boys, ages 2, 3 and 4. George is good to me in some ways. He never complains if I don't have his meals on time or if he doesn't have a clean shirt when he wants ft--he just reminds me to wash one. It isn't often he lacks a clean shirt, though, as I wash twice a week. My problem is that he mever gives me any money for clothes or anything. My relatives give us their outgrown clothes, for which I am thankful--but I don't see why I can't have money to buy things for the boys as George has a good paying job. They beg nfe to buy them coloring books and crayons like their friends have--but even though we live in the city limits, I never go to town. . George won't even give me money for ice cream for the chil- dren while he is at work. Their playmates get ice cream cones twice a day while my boys stand and watch them hungrily. i they think I don't hear, they ask for a taste. I punish them for begging but it breaks my heart that they can't have ice cream, too. They can't understand why I don't give them money as the other mamas 0. My watch that I've had for eight years stopped and George said to put it in the shop and he'd get it out. It has been there for nearly a year and he won't even discuss it. I've. cried and begged but he won't get it. I can't find myself a ob. I've tried and tried, but noth- ng turns up. Please tell me what to do. I am at my wits' end. S.R. LACKS IMAGINATION Dear S.R.: To improve this sit- uation I'd have to get your hus- band's attention. He probably doesn't understand the harm he is doing to the character of his boys, in starting them off with an in- grained sense of being inferior to their playmates--of having less and feeling shamefaced and inconse- quential when 'big deals" are afoot, such as buying ice cream. George isn't so mean and stingy as he is insensitive to the feelings of others, I think. The intelligent quality of sympathetic awareness, concerning the inner needs of others, I think. The intelligent qual- ity of sympathetic awareness, con- cerning the inner needs of others, isn't very well developed in him, as yet. Maybe he grew up the hard way, with little consideration and few, if any, treats and pleasures given him--so that he toughened up, closed his pores to grief, and supposes that's the way life is. Maybe he feels his boys had better learn to "take it" (i.e., disappoint- ment) early, as he did. Actually, the truth is that life is malleable to our basic (or con- ditioned) expectations. Mind is creative, in the sense that vivid convictions imaginatively imparted to the unconscious mind eventually are translated into living exper- ience. "As a man thinketh (hab- itually) in his heart," so does his fate or fortune unfold. That's the big difference between the 'haves' and "have-nots" on the material plane. The 'haves' are positive, creative thinkers, who have a pros- perity consciousness. The "have- nots" are defeatists, pessimistic thinkers, who have a poverty con- sciousness. BRANDS SONS "To him that hath (the prosper- ity consciousness) more shall be given: and to him that hath not (the poverty consciousness) even that which 4 hath shall be taken away," as the Scripture tells us. Naturally George will want his sons to grow up a credit to him-- able to take care of themselves in competition; to have good char- acter, self-respect, leadership poise and the like. But unwittingly he is starting them off in the wrong dir- ection, branding underdog feelings into their soul, preparing them for | a "failure" fate, as he leaves them in the position of begging for favors they don't get, either from parents or playmates. I hope these remarks may open his eyes to the wisdom of being more co-oper- ative with your ideas. He ought to give you some money each week for the children's allowance and in- cidentals. M.H.

Gathered around a camp fire, the group joined in singing favorite hymns under the direction of Mr. J. C. B. MacMillan. The worship service was ably conducted by the com- mittee for the evening, Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Kimmerly, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. B. MacMillan and Mr and Mrs. John Jeffrey. The com- mittee made the prayer very im- pressive; with the group standing around the fire, each member of the committee led in a short pray- er ending with the Lord's Prayer in unison. Mrs. H. A.

It was announced that the baby- sitting service, for Sunday morn- ings, would be continued through the summer months. Business being finished, the club climbed the hill to the camp din- ing hall where progressive court whist was enjoyed. Those receiving rizes for the game were Mrs. . W. Farrow and Mr. Jack Hunt for high scores, with Mrs. Jack Hunt and Mr. George Perkin win- ning the low score prizes. A de- lightful lunch and the Friendship Circle closed a pleasant evening.

CHILD GUIDANCE Mother Asks Advice Regarding The Child Who Fails In School By CLEVELAND MYERS It's distressing to think of the heartaches which thousands of chil dren have when they bring their school grades home. A mother writes to urge that I do an article on the 'child about to fail." Then she tells of her son in the first grade, a very poor reader; of her patient ways of try- ing to help him; of the companion- able walks the father (a biolo, teacher) takes with him and t cooperation of this lad"s teacher. REPETITION PREFERRED To quote: "Billy has worked hard, as have his teacher and I. Although he improves steadily, he may fail to meet the requirements of a curriculum we cannot do any- thing about. His father and I prefer that he repeat first grade if he must repeat any, but Billy has not had our experience to see this. Our extra work which may save him the crisis of failing, also em- phasizes the desirability of passinge 'His pal failed last year but was allowed to enter second grade after a summer of intensified drilling and study. He is now doing pass- ing work but Billy's father does not endorse this method, and I question its gesirabitity. As a teacher, this problem bothered me; as a parent, I need some impar- tial advice." a DECISION UP TO SCHOOL My reply in part: Billy is fortu- nate to have parents who 'are so kind and considerate and a coop- erative teacher. If he could have the same teacher next year, repeat- ing the grade might be wise, in which case you would try to pre- pare him emotionally for this de- cision. Though it is wonderful when parents and teacher confer to- gether on such matters, the final decision should be left to the school. In some places, of course, all children are promoted whether they have mastered the work of Donald MacLennan Weds in Toronto At St. John's Anglican Church, York Mills, last Friday afternoon, Donald John MacLennan, son of Mr. Duncan Mathieson MacLennan of Oshawa, and the late Mrs. Mac- Lennan, took as his bride, Jacque- line Dorothea Doyle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Murray Doyle of Toronto. The Rev. Dr. F. Abbott officiat- ed at the ceremony and the bride was given in marriage by her fath- er. She wore a gown of pale blue tulle, fashioned with an overdrape of matching satin which fell into a soft train. The portrait neckline was outlined with antique lace. A coronet studded with brilliants caught her fingertip veil of blue illusion, and. she carried a cascade of gardenias. The matron of honor, Mrs. Jack Parsons, Trehton, wore a gown of shrimp pink taffeta fashioned with a full skirt, halter top and match- ing jacket. Her headdress was a cap of matching taffeta, and she carried sweet peas and coral roses. Dr. Grant' St, John, New York, was best man and Mr. Jack Smith Oshawa, and Mr. Donald Doyle brother of the bride, were the ush- ers. A reception followed at the home of the bride's parents. WAS NOTED HISTORIAN RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Dr. Douglas Southall Freeman, Pulit- zer prize-winning historian, died at his home here Saturday of a heart attack. He was 67. A retired newspaper editor, Freeman had recently been working on an eight- volume biography of George Wash- ington. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1934 for his four-volume biog- raphy of Robert E. Lee. their resent grade or not. This method has great merit when the teacher of the grade the child is promoted to, sets him to learn only what he can learn well. But when he is supposed to learn subjects in the new grade far too hard for him, his experience can be tragic. INTERESTING. MATZRIAL In your child's case, I would have great faith in helping him make up some of his arrears be- fore next fall. I hope you have had his vision and he tested. Go on reading him some or bookstore with interes pic- tures and short sentences with easy vocabulary. Some of the children's magazines carry such materials, with many pictured phrases and sentences. Do try to create a calm, secure emotional atmosphere for him as he works at his lessons, never let- ting your voice rise or your ges- tures or breathing betray annoy- ance or discouragement.

In an address prepared for to- day's opening sessions of the na- tional convention being held here, Mrs. J. L. Savage of Toronto, na- ti~nal president of the YV'CA, said "alarming figures were released in the United States as to the number of frustrated. nervous wrecks found among this group." Mrs. Savage said these girls sud- denly find themselves immersed in cleaning, cooking, marketing and eventually "baby chasing' for none of which they are prepared. "As one third of our member- ship of some 45,000 is married, it is necessary to study their special needs in program planning.' YWCA MEMBERSHIP Phyllis Haslam, personnel secre- tary of the YWCA national coun- cil, reported that two-thirds of the membership is Protestant, the other being composed largely of Roman Catholics, with some of the Jewish, Greek Orthodox and Greek Catholic faiths. "The largest proportion of the YW membership is in the 16 to 20 age group," she said, "'with of- fice workers formint the greater part of the membership in large centres, then- home makers, high school students and professional workers. In a summary of activities since the last convention in 1949, Agnes Roy, national executive director of the YWCA, said that rural clubs had increased. "There are 17 of these clubs with an enrolment of 850," she said. RECREATION PROGRAMS Miss Roy said of the 58 YWCAs, joint YM-YWCAs and branches, 48 had recreation programs. She re- ported 30 associations owning gyms 14 owning swimming pools, five renting gyms and 12 renting pools. "There are two associations building gyms and two building she said. The director noted that there had been increasing co-operation on the part of boards of education which enabled the '"Y' to increase ser- vice to public and high schools. Miss Roy said it was hoped that a specialist in residence work and food service would be added to the national staff. "There are 58 associations and branches of the YWCA," she said, "39 with residences, 37 on which have food s.rvices." During the inter-cconventio: per- iod four new associations of the YWCA were formed in Cobourg and Port Hope, Ont.; Lethbridge, Alta., and New Westminster, B.C.

Low-Priced, Haphazard Insulation Gives But Disappointing Results To the average housewife "home" means comfort. In sum- mer we want a house that stays cool all day, while in winter we ask for a house that is warm and economical to heat. And yet it has been estimated that approximate- ly 80 per cent of our older houses have neither of these two features which provide the temperature es- sential to home comfort. The answer, of course, can be found in proper insulation. Not only does mineral wool insulation save on fuel consumption and provide an even heat throughout the house in winter, but it actually keeps out the heat in summer. However the type and thickness of insulation used, and the mannep in which it is installed, determine the degree of comfort achieved, and brings up the subject of costs. The effectiveness of the insula- tion depends upon how it is install- ed and a low-priced but haphazard insulation job may cost more in the long run. Similarly, the thick- ness of the insulation-does not al- ways reflect the cost. The ratio of cost to thickness is often quite negligible, when compared to the results. A good part of the cost of build- ing a house naturally goes towards wages for skilled carpenters, plumbers and other mechanics. This is particularly true in install, ing mineral wool insulation. Aside from the material itself, the cost of skilled labor to install insulation three inches thick is no more than to put in the same type only two inches thick. In new construction it often costs no more to have 3% inches of min eral wool batts installed in walls and ceiling than to cover the same areas with an inch or less of some other material of lower insulating value. For this reason, insulation contractors point out that it is not always economically possible to compare different insulating ma- lerials on the basis of thickness alone. The Micmac tribe in earlier centuries occupied most of the Maritime areas and also parts of Newfoundland. Wouldn't You Like To Have This Pair? ud You Can '0450 Easily so Economically!
