Walk the country roads and ridge paths now and you will be discovering little mirror ponds at

almost every turn, ivintcr ice poc- , kets that will either be dried away

or hidden completely once the first lllrcen of spring has touched the ‘woods. They are the cold-weather seep and snows melt, caught in the hollows and frozen there through the cold weeks. Catch them on a bright day and they have the shimmery blue of the winter sky. Come upon them when the sky is winter gray and they are sticky in their cold reflection. For they reflect the sky's mood and the mood of the weather even more clearly than does a summer pond. A drifting of snow hides them completely, of course, even the thinnest of snowfalls .But when the woods are gray in snowless, nakedness they are lUie jewels ii the landscape.

ANSWER: Your signature is rrvealintl- I! 81V” B Perle“ Picture of the situation. You have made yourselves doormats for your children and they are using you as they would a doormat, trampling over you and wiping their feet on you and kicking you around.

0f course, it is always easier to spoil children than it is to correct the faults you have cultivated in them, and I don't think you and your husband have enougih backbone to fight it out with your self-willed youngsters. So my earnest advice to you is to send the two older children

off to some good, strict. military school where the‘, will be made to sub- mit to discipline and conform to rules and have some of their arrogance and egotism taken out. of them.

It will put the lads in their place and make them realise that they

are not t-he most. important people iii the world. and that everyone will not kowtow to them and take their lmpudenee.

I have never seen this

remedy for spoiled brats fail. Try it. And don't weaken when your teen- agers write back how cruelly they are being treated.

Nobody knows exactly what the unforgivable sin is, but I think it l; spoiling children, giving them the wrong start in life and cultivating in them faults that will be a curse t-z t-hem to the longest day tihey live.

ANSWER: Goodness me. no. Wife-beating lsan out-lowed sport. and if you don't enjoy being knocked about. al‘. you have to do is to have your husband arrested for assault and battery oi- else take the

No woman has to stand brutal treatment from her husband be- cause any man who would strike hvs wife is a coward whom she could run out of the house with a. broomstick. Just try it. on him the next;

Q. I have been thinking about offering one room in my home to two boarders. As I'm near a high school I wanted to take in two teachers who are away from their own homes. Please advise how much can I charge and how much notice must I give them to leave if the plan does not work out satisfactorily. '

. There is no definite cell price set on the amount of ran you may charge when these teach- ers are taking their meals as well as living at your home . , , the amount of board charged depends on tlhe type of accommodation. the quality of meals served, the num- ber served etc. Would suggest that you enquire around the neighbor-

ood and set a comparable rent to what. is be charged. If the plan does not wor out; to your satisfac- tion you may give these boarders one week's notice if they pav bv the week and one month's notice if t-hev pay by the month.

we will answer it just once moae. Canned fruit is rationed whether it contains sugar or not . . . the reason for this is that canned fruit of all kinds is in very limited eup- ply and it is necessary to include it on the ration list in order that everyone will receive their fair are.
