Quarreling Parents

\ Constant \Spais Have Damaging Effect‘ On Children

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a 16-year-old boy. Our family consists of four memh us, my parents. my young brother and myself. My parents have been married nearly eighteen years and have been quarreling ever since I can remember. Mother complains that she is "withering

away" and tells me that when she was a girl she was the life of every party.

And look at her now. _

My father says he can't understand ho\v a woman can be so mean as to fight with him all the time. cs- peclally just now when he is struggling so hard to make a few dollars for his family.

Last night after I had gone to bed and fallen asleep I was suddenly awakened by _an outburst of swearing. My mother had become violent. I Call! for the llfe‘ot me see how a woman could have used such vile language to her own husband. heaping upon In insult after insult. .

rive score and thiriyotwo years ago New Glasgow was founded by W. E. Cormack. Most of the set- tlers arriving in the district. came from the land of the heather. or to be more exact, from the vicin- ity of Glasgow. Scotland. There- fore. it was only natural that the new settlement be given a Scot- tish name.

Like other pioneers. the settlers possessed little of this world’: goods. What they lacked in mate- rial things was offset by faith in the island and their determina- tion to make new homes for them- selves.

O O

The first winter was passed un- der very trying circumstances. and a number of their livestock died of hunger. To make matters worse. an epidemic of mumps and scarlet fever kept many in- doors. leaving those who were well, saddled with a lot of extra care and work.

When their supply of salt ran out. one of the young rpen. Henry Scott. travelled through the track- lees forest for a distance of ten miles. where he borrowed 40 pounds. returning the same day with the precious salt tied up in a sack and borne on his shoulders.

QIRIJ OF‘ THE AGED AND XNFIBM

Now that the life span has been so greatly lergtheaed. it has been found that there are more elderly men and women in the world than any other single class. Just as children and other groups have their special ailments, so also have the elderly. but unfortunately we take it for granted that as people grow older they must naturally ex- pect to have more ailments.

Treatment of the aged is called geriatrics. so ecessary and urg- ent has the care of the ills of the elderly become that some general hospitals are installing what they call the geriatrics ward or wing or annex. In "The British Medical Annual," Dr. ‘Marjory W. warren states that there is m-uch in favor of creating within a large general hospital a geriatric unit for the investigation and treatment of Cl- derly patients. In these units study of different methods can be compared and those interested in geriatrics can be trained.

The advantages of treating the elderly sick in a Berlatric unit are:

1. That the patients more often make congenial contacts with each other and definitely stimulate each other in a healthy spirit of rivalry helpful to their rehabilita- tion, in a any which they do not

If God is the all-wl.e and all- lovlng, it is difficult to believe that he orders all things in the sense of planning or desiring them. Apart from all the inevitable changes and chances at this mortal life, there is a hard core of human cnielty, injustice, and fo.ly which cannot be I ‘led with the will of a wise and loving God. It is possible. however. to believe that God orders all things in the sense that all things fall within his gen- eral. permissive control.

Furthermore, Christians have believed that the course of events

We pray for the removal of “all hurtful things." and for the grant- ing of "those things which be pro- fitable for us." It may be natural to think of accidents. disease. dis- aster. and disappointment as “hurt- ful." and of peace, prosperity. health, and happiness as "p‘ofit- able." But experience shows that the "blessings of this life" and the blows of late fall on good and bad alike. and any plan that may guide them is hidden from human eyes.
