Drudging Dad Martyr To Family's Comiorf

Deserves More Appreciation

DOROTHY DIX: My father has an office at home as well as at his place of business. He works every night. I am a girl of 19 and desire to have my friends come to see me. but I hate to ask them on this ac- count. l know they would not want to come to see me and sit in the living room and watch my father work in his office and hear the click If his typewriter. There is one boy that I like very much who wonders why I treat him so cold, but I feel I can't ask him to the house and l

_ don't want to suggest going out to my date. Don't you think n father should conside his daughter a little bit, and _when she has company stop working a while

for her sake? ANXIOUS

ANSWER: What about the daughter considering her father a little bit and trying to realize that the reason he works nights at home is because he is trying b provide a home for her and keep her safe and snug‘!

Lots of ygung people look upon their fathers as nothing but money- making machines who are geared to perpetual action and who keep on going through the motion of toiling because they are built that way and can't stop. I have heard them sneer at father because he had got to be almost an automaton that vibrated between the house and the office and because he never took a vacation or went to a ball game or did anything but work. I have seen them ashamed of father because he got stoop-shouldered and went shabby and was out of the picture with the balance of the smartly dressed family. .

I have wondered at the lack of intelligence, heart and imagination that these young sons and daughters showed, in never realizing that lather was a hero and a martyr who offered himself up as a sacrifice on the altar of his home, for his unappreciative wife and children who never even knew how grand a figure he was.

Father is just as human as the balance of us. He doesn't slave like a dray horse because he has some peculiar complex that makes him prefer work to play and a stuffy office to sunshine. He would love to go fishing in the spring. He would love to travel and see the world. But he sticks to his job winter and summer, day in and day out. l-Ie often works at night so that his wife and children may have the Joaoures that he denies himself. .

Anyway, my poor little girl, you are supersensitive to feel that your father's working at home is any disgrace and that your friends won't want to come there. There probably isn't a one of them who would care a rap about that one way or the other. As far as your boy friend is concerned, he would admire it rather than criticize it.

It would indicate to him that, if he had that industrious a father- in-law, he would probably never have to support his wife's family. So don't be silly and make a mountain out of a typewriter.

The evening itself was delightful—the hot Summer day that had been, was giving away to the welcome and invigor- ating coolness, which invariably comes with the dew-fall to bless the warmest Island day.

The afterglow still bathed the western windows and lingered quietly over the surrounding coun- tryside. So peaceful, it was then, and beautiful.

In the "Indians State Medical Association Journal" (Indianapolis), Dr. G. E. Gates while urging X- ray examinations gives some start- ling facts which throws blame on patients and physicians for delay in getting treatment for cancer of the stomach until it is too late.

The average duration of symp- toms before s. visit to a physician is 6 months. The average time for the first visit before it is defin- ltely known that cancer is pres- ent, is found to be nearly another six months. If when the patient first consulted his physician. ll‘- rsngements were made for an X- rsy examination there would be more chance of saving life. To be fair to the physician it must be admitted that ordering an X-ray examination before stomach tests. food tests and other methods of examination have been made gives the patient the feeling that cancer is suspected.

“The most common complaint is that of s. vague discomfort or dis- times with loss of appetite and tress in region of stomach some- slight muses."

The following information has to do with the Postal Department, and

is indebted to Mr. J. J. Connfllil’. Postmaster st Charlottetown.

There are 76 accounting and 29 non-accounting offices scattered over the Garden of the Gulf. But only two of these rate the grade of staff post offices, namely: Sum- merside and Charlottetown. The semi-staff post offices are located at Tignish, Alberton, 0'I..eary, Ken- sington, l-lunter River, Montague and Souris. The remainder of the offices are run by I-‘ustmaster only. i

These post offices serve (in addi- tion to the communities in which they are located) a total of 17B rural routes throughout the Island. Emanatlng from Charlottetown are four railway post offices which carry mails to all parts of thc Province as follows: '

Charlottetown-Souris.

Charlottetown-Murray Harbor.

Charlottetcwn-Tignish.

Charlottetown-Sackville.

These railway post offices em- ploy 15 railway mail clerks,

The two staff post offices employ a Postmaster together with 8 clerks at Summerside, and a Postmaster and 45 clerks at Charlottetown.

In addition to the above there are many side services such as transporting the malls to and from the railway stations, airports, docks, etc., which employ many persons on a full or part-time basis.

But the Charlottetown post of- fice services do not stop here. it dispatches and receives all mail matter going to and coming from the Magdalen Islands, both by air and steamer; and during the sea- son of closed navigation, mails for the small French islands of St. Pierre and Micouelon are receiv-

ed and dispatched through the main office at Charlottetown. The Post Office Inspector's of-

fice, located in the capital city, has a staff of five employees who han- dle all mail matter pertaining to this Province and the Magdalen ls- lands —— a pretty big job and one that is efficiently handled goes without saying.

Today when it is so easy and so cheap to send and receive'mail matter, we give little thought to our efficient postal system which many other business beings might do well to emulate.

All mail systems are government controlled, and in no business are there fewer errors made.

Let's follow that letter you drop- ped this AM. in the red mail box near the Revere Hotel, Charlotte- town. At e certain hour along comes the faithful mail collector who unlocks the box, stuffs your letter into a weatherproof sack and hurries it off to the main post of- fice,

In scene two, you'll be able to identify your letter, along with others, on the sorting table. All are arranged so that the stamps face one way. The next move is to put it through the cancelling ma- chine. Some letters, however,-let's hope it's not yours-must be plac- ed to one side because it is not pro- perly addressed, or because it lacks the right amount of postage to guarantee its safe arrival to a friend. Watching the sorters at work is not without interest. Stand- ing in front of the racks made. for instance to hold the Surnmerside mall, a sorter picks up a bundle, and almost mechanical action sorts them into pigeonholes marked witn the name of the post office cor- responding to the address on the
