. What should one take into consideration when planning the centerpiece of the dinner table?

A. That tau ornaments which obstruct the view are not in good taste. as the guests naturally like to see each other across the table. It is far better to have a simple. flat bowl of flowers or fruit, flank- ed perhaps with a pair of candle- Iticks.

. Is it all right to answer a formal invitation by telephone?

A. Never. A written reply should be sent, and in the same style as the invitation-that is, in the third person.

Q. Whose place is it to cut the wedding cake?

A. Usually the bride cuts the first piece. and then allows one oi her attendants or relative: to fin- ish the job.

Wrap this end around a small spool and fasten securely with a tack. when the tape measure is not in use it can be wrapped neatly around the spool and placed in the work basket. A loose tape can prove quite an annoyance in a work

basket. i Blouses

A nne blouse can be dampened evenly for ironing, by wringing a towel from water, rolling the blouse tightly in it and leaving for about ten minutes before ironing.

Sugary Jam

To make hard and sugary jam almost as good as ever. place it in the oven until the sugar melts, then take out and allow to cool.

By an Island Farmers Wile

"It's all very fine and nice -this weather we're having" one of the Family commented of it this morn.- lns. "but we'll still have our spell of mud."

”It my not be long this spring," we offered.

”And it may be longer!" he smiled, "you never can tell!" . . .

The new day - and week was spread calm and lovely on the hillside; on a roof the sun wove a coverlet of gems out of the I103-TI frost; smokes from the neighbor- ing houses mounted prettily into the serene blue and quiet lay the farmlands about. "Then," we laughed, "we'll have to look up!"

We look away sometimes from the serenity of these Island farms in winter to those far-away places where summer still reigns. We hear of them in descriptive word- pictures from a. native son or daughter of this Province ethose who even after len-gthy absences can still yearn for these green meadows and red soil of Home which "run down to keep a night- ly tryst. with the sea."

Remember too, as do so many of us. a loved old house. a Church. a school where friendships were made, links forged for a lifetime; and all those happenings of the young years which in some cur- ious way served to shape destinies though often without one's inten- tion or awareness. 0

One such daughter of The Is- land. in hm own rights a gifted writer, looked back in a recent. letter to us to the girlhood days to recall fishing at a mill of memory -"In hoth the upper and lower pond. on spring and summer even-

So many lovely scenes she still cherishes from the young years, not erased by the charm and won- der of that Californian city where she now resides... "The pass- ing of the horse and buggy is good but I loved the sleigh rides. i think I would still get a thrill dashing along to the music of bells under the silvery moon and stars -- with all the countryside a wonderland!

Young MoH'teTWould Do Better To Realize Her Own Duty

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 22 years old, the mother of three boys. and we have the upstairs apartment in my mother-in-law's house. Since it's'easic-r for the children to go into her apartment from the backyard where they are playing. they go to her for drinks and cookies during the day. She seems to be willing to have them; It's okay with me, and saves me a lot of running up and down stairs.

Also, my husband works nights, and I don't see any harm in my going into town for the eve- ning after the children are in bed, since their grandma is in the house to keep an eye on them. I don't believe in the saying, "Grandma raised her kids-you raise yours." If she's willing to watch them and doesn't say anything. why not take ad- vantage of her good nature?

YOUNG MOTHER the busy young availing herself of deplore your atti-

ANSWER: I can't blame

mother of three small boys for grandma's help. but I certainly tude. You should be grateful for a co-operative mother-in-law who is willing to lend a hand with the children. You are being most unfair in trying to take advantage of her good nature. as you so crudely put it. You assume that. at 22. you are entitled to all the freedom you can get, but at the same time you deny the privilege to an older woman who has well earned a rest. Your mother-in-law is a woman of infinite patience and forbear- ance. Her occasional services as baby-sitter should be accepted with appreciation: the entire burden of watching your children is asking quite a bit too much.

DON'T NEGLECT YOUR CHILDREN

Muriel Nissan

You aren't fair to your husband, in going out so much. You cer- tainly aren't falr to the children in leaving them to someone else's care so often. You need a revised sense of values. Of course, I can understand that you married very young, and have acquired quite a family for a 22-year-old. The children are your responsibility, however. and not their grandmother's. Grandma might decide to get a job and you'll have lost the best help you'll ever have. I hope you repay some of her devotion. at least with kindness, but your general assumption of "I come first" rather belies that hope. DEAR MISS DIK: I'm a sadder but wiser middle-aged woman. who. a year ago. married a younger man. He was nice looking, dressed well, was handy around the house. and had a pleasant dis- position. He had no money, but I thought that didn't matter since I had a home. car and a small income. Immediately after our marriage he became an entirely different person. He thinks only of himself. has tantrums every time he's crossed. and wants to drive the car everywhere himself. I so wanted someone to love, and to love me. but I was sadly fooled in him. He isn't well. and I know he needs me.

L015 '1'. ANSWER: Of all the despicable men in the world. I rate high those who take advantage of the loneliness of older women. Your husband obviously needed someone to support him, and you were his choice. The undertones in your letter lead me to believe that, car or not, he supplies a need in your life for someone to care for, and perhaps you feel better with him than without him.

DEAR MISS DIX: I'm 25. the mother of three children. and have recently left the hospital after an operation. The doctor says I must go away for a rest. but I don't see how I can leave the chil- dren. Bcsldes. I don't believe a wife should go anywhere without her husband and children. If my husband knew of the doctor's ad- vice. I know he'd insist on my going away. I am very nervous. ANNE J. ANSWER: While your ideas on leaving husband and children are commendable. there are times when separation is necessary, as in your case where a serious matter of health is involved. For the good of all the family, you should follow your doctor's advice. The Social Service Worker at the hospital you attended will help you find a place to go, and suggest someone to cdre for your children.

It is known that many. indivi- duals with heart disease. by one and medical supervision. IN Win! an a lower level of physical activ- ity. can live as long as if they 1154 no heart disease. However. when I heart patient M81118 '0 5310" mental symptoms. it in I Que”-103 whether he is capable of with- standing the shock treatment that helps so many early cases of men- tal disturbances. .

All shock treatments - insulin. metrazol. shock-put a strain upon the patient because shock treat- ments causewa convulsion. It can readily be seen that a patient who has to live a quiet life physically can become depressed mentally. and has more time and more in- clination to think "inwardly" about his physical and menial'sympton1s. The question then arises as to whether it is safe for the psychia- trist to use shock treatment.

In the Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, Drs. Curtis T. Prout and Donald M. Hamilton report that 87 per cent of a group of 104 psychiatric (mental) patients between the ages of 80 and 82 benetltted from electro-shock treat- ment. Although serioud heart and blood-vessel disease existed before treatment in more than two- thirds of the patients, electro-shock treatment,proved a safe proced- ure after careful medical evalu- atlon of- the patlent's condition. The following factors should be considered in deciding to use elec- tro-shock in the psychiatric treat- ment of patients over 60:

1. The patient should be suf- fering with a fundamentally func- tional disease (not an organic dis- ease affectlng brain structure but a ”behavior" disease).

2. In the elderly. such illness may be complicated by confusion and delirium due to exhaustion or poisoning from long use of "quiet- ing" drugs, insufficient intake of food and liquid, and insufficient removal of wastes. Medical atten- tion to these conditions ordinarily results in prompt relief from men- tal symptoms.

ment of mental symptoms should be tried before giving shock treat- ment.

4. A thorough physical examin- ation of heart. blood vessels, blood pressure, including electrocardio- gram and chest and spinal X-rays. Electro-shock relieves such symp- toms as depresion. anxiety and tension. resulting in lessening or disappearance of -delusions and hallucinations. Patients are then better able to respond to the usual psychiatric treatment."

In Diseases of the Nervous Sys- tem, Dr. E. F. Kerman reported 93 per cent complete prevention or re- lief of symtoms from electro-shock by use of the drug Dramamine.

For Tomorrow

IT is certain that affairs of con- sequence on this day are in line for reaching desired goals, with little difficulty or opposition. It is probable that a shrewd and tact- ful approach to cherished consum- rnations may be desirable rather than forced issues or harsh meth- ods. Far vision and subtlety may promote plans and objectives in connection with those in influen- tial places. Practical results may come from tact, courtesy and keen grasp of hidden factors.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is may approach major plans and object- ives of high importance by a prac- tical and orderly program, albeit the approach be based on keen vision, backed by shrewd and as-

intuitive and. tactful could wir. against forced issues. The go..;g',1. ed "power urge" might be tem- pered by clever use of compromise or yielding a point at the psycho- logical moment in a crisis. Novelty and ingenuity might lrnpreag than in high place.
