Mr. D. doubtless somewhat lone- ly on his high perch inserted neat windows there and fashioned deft- ly an end-door beneath a barn- gable today. We hope for another haying past frosts and snows of winter to enjoy again the magic and delight of the saving .. . great forkfuls lifting and swinging in there to drop in a long sigh to the mow beneath.

Will returning swallows build their 'dobe houses along the new rafters? And shall we climb to new lofts with the same sense of familiarity we knew in the old? Touching the satin-gray of the smooth worn beams, liking the cool sweet emptiness of it on a summer day. Will granddaughter's mother-cat, come another spring, choose a nook in the new rather than the old for her kit-cats' ar- rival? James is much taken up with the new. "Come, Ellen" he said this morning, hanging up the pails in the stable "let's leave the milklng- theies really no hurry for it- and we'll have a look into the new born.

"Here" he said, setting feet on the concrete "are the stalls .. . hold a nice few, won't they? And this is the feed-way . . . and this corner is for roots, We could per- haps" and his face lit up with a smile "if we were ever anyways short of room, move it. sow here for farrowing. it would be a com- fortable spot in I cold spell, would It not?"

And liistead of the present. with the sun sending his early beams warmly through the open door and windows. and a September day, beautiful along the fields, we heard the sounds of a winter storm. wind howling about the eaves, snow gathering quickly on the panes. "Yes, sir!" we agreed ;that would be just. the place for

We think now how extremely important to us as a family was this day in our farming. though to the farmers and the housewives as well the event that came about satisfying as it is in some respects is not without its regrets.

The fat cattle are sold - to go "off the grass" one of these days. And when gone. how empty and bare will be the pasture which kept them all summer! James, too. will find it so. If not driven by time and circumstance to make such disposals, he would prefer to keep our pens full of prime hogs. our meadows, of sicck fat animals. "That's the pity of it" we over- heard him remark to an enter- prising farmer from a distance re- cently after they had returned from viewing the herd on pas- ture "whcn they're at their best- I. fellow has to part with them!"

'I'BlA'l'MIEN'l' 01'' LOW MENTAL- ITY AND EMOTIONAL IDIBALAN CE

As Medical officers in World War I. if the recruit had a strong looking body and his heart and lungs were sound. we usually ac- cepted him for service without try- ing to estimate his mental ability (I. Q.) or his emotional balance. Fortunately, in World War Ii. more attention was paid to these important factors. It was found that despite this attention there were still many rejections of re- cruits and many men sent home because of mental and emotional deficiencies.

In the Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. John D. Campbell. Atlanta. Georgia. states. "All our knowledge regarding human psychology or behavior must be used not only in selecting and assigning personal but also in preventing psychiatric casualties. which in World War II exceeded all other causes for rejection and disability. Each individual. whether accepted or rejected. should have R permanent record showing his mental and physical assets and defects, recommendations made by local draft boards and suggestions made by the medical officers and psychiatrists where he was exam- lncd."

Dr. Campbell suggests that in the event of another war. in ad- dition to the examination or screening of results for the armed forces, there should be a psyciatric (mental and emotional) screening of civilian workers for purposes of greater efficiency. security. and prevention of absenteeism and fre- quent job changes.

What about examination for mental ability? Generally speak- ing. a recruit with only 75 per cent intelligence should not be accepted for the armed services although he might do a routine, but necessarry job in civilian life. Recruiting of- ficers. often ovcr-impressed by the muscularity of the moron and the

fact that he "looks" normal. mayl

allow him to enter the service while rejecting persons of normal intelligence who "look" stupid.

Then. as to the emotional make- up or balance of the individual. all officers concerned - physicians. chaplains. legal officers. personnel officers-should question the re- cruit from the "personality" stand- point. The typical psychopath (emotionally unstable) quit school In the seventh or eighth grade be- cause he ”got fed tip with rou- tine." He wandered about for sev- eral years, not adjusting himself to any one job for more than three or four months; in civilian life he preferred seasonal or "shady" oc- cupations. was arrested several times before the age of 21.

Q. Is it Considered proper for one to give a birthday party for oneself?

A. While it is proper for one member of a family to give a birth- day party for another. it is not proper for it person to give his own birthday party. At least. he should not announce it as such ahead of time-otherwise. it would

give the impression that he is seeking gifts. Q. When accompanying a

woman to the dinner table, should

a man sit down at exactly the same time she does? A. No. The man should draw

out the chair for his partner. and not sit down until she has seated herself.

Q. When should the bridegroom give his gifts to his best man and ushers?

A. At the party.

Chiffon

The cutting of chiffon and other sheer fabrics often provcs exasper- atlng. To prevent its slipping while cutting to pattern, pin the fabric onto wrapping or newspaper, with the grain of the fabric running parallel to the double perforation that marks the straight of the goods. Lay the pattern on the goods and cut through both fabric and paper.

New Trend In Radio Furniture Design

The once cumbrous radio-phono- graph bristling with buttons, dials and knobs is definitely a museum- piece today. Modern cabinet de- signers and modern customers agree that function is not enough -the radio-phonograph miuit also be it piece of fine furniture. But what kind of fine furniture? That depends, say RCA Victor cabinet designers. There is no one univer- sol answer.

At one extreme are the com- pletely modern homes and apart- mcnts-modern in arcliltecture. colour scheme, furnishings and equipment. For such homes the radio-phonograph must also be modern in design-reflecting the contemporary feeling for shapes. line. textures. wood finishes and restrained ornamentation.

At the other extreme are those homes that hold themselves aloof from the world of jet planes, Dali art, mixmasters, television and in- direct lighting. In these homes the furniture. drapes. books, pic-

v tures and their arrangements con-

vey a deep-rooted feeling for the past. Radio-phonograph cabinets designed in the spirit of Chippen- dale. Sheraton, Adam or other 18th century masters are graciously suited to such traditional interiors.

But in between these two groups of the distinctly modern and the predominantly classic is a much vastt-r group of homes with mod- ern leanings but with strong fam- ily roots in the past. These are the typical Canadian homes of families who live in the world of today yet respect tradition and take pride in household mementos of their forbears. Such a home may feature an lath Century ma- hogany cabinet that grandmother used to prize, give a Homer Wat- son landscape mantelpiece prom- inence.and combine a roomy wire- back chair of vintage i900 with an ultra modern glass-topped coffee table.
