llahhics 0f Local Citizens

By Uncle Joe

Twenty-five years ago a friend of mine. who would rather not have his name mentioned at this time.

started a general collection of postage stamps. Ha began with a small junior

album such as any other youngster would be given to start his collec- tion. Through buying cheap pac- kets and. trading with other young collectors, it was not long before the phllaielisfs little album was found to be inadequate; so a larg- er and more expensive one was procured.

When my friend had collected some 10,000 different stamps. his interest in his hobby began to lag. There were so many more stamps to be collected than there were time and patience for the collect- ing, that the task _of reaching his

goal seemed as far away as ever. The years went by. My friend; became a salesman for a fairly large company and. consequently saw a good deal of Canada. He also saw the collections held by some of Calladas leading philalelisls. New ideas began i0 sprout in his brain. and once more the hobby bug 80L undar his skin. e e

This time he started out on ,the right foot by purchasting several? good books on stamps. which he studied most carefully. When he'd made up his mind that he wanted depicted birds known lo seek- I

only stamps that and fish. he let it be other collectors what he was ing.

Gradually he unloaded the old collection of 10,000 for a few hund- red of the new variety. The ex- change made everybody happy and gave my salesman friend a. fresh start on a collection of stamps tllul are unique and entirely to his fancy.

So, if any of you who are readlni; this column, have come to the time when you realize how practically impossible it. is to complete a gen- eral collection. why not take a tip from my friend and concentrate on one or two rare issues and stick to them? , In time you'll acquire a collec- lion that you'll be proud i0 show your best friends. If you intend collecting only as a hobby. then having somelhlng distinctive and different from the other fellow, will. I am sure, be sufficient re- ward. On the other hand, should you desire to make Y0“! b47555’ l paying one, then you'd better in- vest in some reliable books on the subject. In these you'll find listed all stamps that have a commercial value. . . '

Take, for instance. three stunvi of the Philippines known as the Arnical issue. They have a face value of about 60 cents each. Ever see that Belgium air stamp AP-l- Nos. 831 to 834? Imagine the em- barrassment of the government of- ficials when it was found that the plane on this stamp is not a Bel!- ian plane at all. but bears Italian identification marks. Hold onto, such a stamp if it ever comes your} wayi It's worth a lot. of shekels; today.

The Canadian 5 cents Jubilee is scarcer than hen's teeth. U. S. Mo- ther's Day stamps are steadily In- creasing in value. used or mint.

TIIE LONG PULL

Sn what about it‘! Try to think about marriage for the long pull. Are you sure you like these boys well enough to give up everything on earth for them? Are you even certain that they wouldn't bore you after a while. or that you could put up with their little ways and peculiarities? You are very young. Just on the threshold of what should be the greatest and the happiest time of a girl's life - when she is carefree and can run around to parties and have lots of dates and gocrl limes and pretty clothes and trips and so on.

If you marry these boys. you will cut yourself out of all of that. You will have to settle down and have no dates. Just go out when your husband happens to feel like taking you. And you will have to do your own housework and perhaps there will be a baby that will fie you down. and. instead of running around like the other girls of your own age. you will be one of those poor tired, dragged-out young moth-

ers that you see.

And how are these boys going to support you girls if you marry them’! if they are just schoolboya themselves. they haven't any way of making a living for themselves. not to speak of you. Are you count- ing on inflicting yourself on the boys‘ parents to support, or are you going lo wish your new husband on your own father and mother? And don't you think that children who get married before they have a way of making a living for themselves are playing it pretty down-

down nri their parents?

If these boys are not willing to wait for you until you finish vour college education. well and good. It will only show that thc" did-ft really and truly love you. And it won't make a particle of difference with you. for by the time you get through college your tasfc will so completely have changed that you wouldn't marry them on a bet.

DEAR M!!! DH: We are two girls. 1'1 and ll, and have just been graduated from high school this year. We have been going with a couple marry them and the four of us go to the mountains. We girls can go to college if we wish. and our problem is whether to go to school or get married and go to the mountains. The boys are unwilling to wait until we have finished college. We would like for you to help us decide.

ANSWER: My dear girls. I urge you with all the earnestness of which l am capable to choose college instead of marriage with two boys who are no more fit for matrimony or ready for it than you

I am lure it would be a grand lark for you to have a romantic elopement and go off with these lads with whom you have been playing around for a summer vacation in the mountains. You would have a delightful trip and a lot of fun hiking and fishing and camping. provided. of course. the boys could scare up enough money to go on. But. after all, the summer is very short.

TI-lE RIGHT KINDS OF FOOD TO EAT DAILY

While some countries mostly are interested in getting "enough" food to eat, there are others - United States and Canada. particularly - who are most interested in getting enough of the right "kimh" of food to maintain physical and mental strength in adults and, in addition. proper growth in children.

One of the few benefits obtained from World War II was the em- phasis placed on the proper diet for the armed forces and also for civil- lam s. home doing their pm. to win the war. -

There was no lack cf food in the United Slates and Canada. In fact.

in order to make it more attractive to the eyes and taste, food manu- facturers left cut importanf tood elements (vitamins and minerals). with harmful effects upon the structures and working prxesses cf the body. That is why we see these food elements being added to ‘bread, milk and other dairy pro- ducts.

Research workers have shown that delay in marketing food loses much of its nutritional value, as well as by keeping food in the kitchen instead of in the refriger- ator. ,

As some cf the valuable food ele- ments are not eaten in the home by children, our school authorities- recognizing the importance of food to growing children - now supply school lunches outlined by food experts. These make up for any lack in the home meals. In addi- tion to keeping the child robust physically, it hasbcen found that where these specially prescribed school lunches are eaten regularly. the children are more interested in their lessons. are better behaved and attend more regularly. It thus can be understood why. as taxpay- ers. we should recognize the im- parlance of the school lunch.

As boys at school, we thought that "domestic science." as flush’- to the girls. was just a play hour. We have only lo think of the school lunch to realize that the training of the young girl in thc right kinds of food tn eat. their preparation and preservation be- fore use, will mean much to her home and its health and happi- near.

sallfllflfllbfif. while all feeds are nourishim. the foods that should be eaten daily in the usual servings (the protective foods) are meat. Bile or fish. milk and daily pro- ducts and green vegetables.

But we fancied the other. for whom we had plautcdqmnny a row, wore a wistful expression. those times he Ihappcncd to be in our neighbor-

Jeanie chuckled when we men- l tinned this and commented: "Don't lot them wear down your resis- tance!” It was dinner. that James repeated last evening‘: sugges- tion. “Ycs" he said to the bache- lnr-farmcr who had come to give Jock assistance “I reckon we'll get it done today though it will give us all we can do. PcrhaUF" he looked up at me "Ellen will give us _a bit of help. You know if she only drops a few sets to- wards the ends of the rows. it‘! surprising the help it would be. In hcr day" he explained "Ellen. wns a ‘fair, good‘ planter." A glow crept into our cheeks at his trib- .

However it was in the cool n! the evening when the unusual heal nf this June day had given way to more invigorating air. and ti... planters were being challenged by the approach of night to finish their task. that with granddaugh- ter loading, we came basket in hand to ihc ficld.

And there. down by- the escaped mill-stream, which crooned happily on its way to join the river below. we came to the end of thc potato planting, which incident brought with it the close of our seed-lime.
