These Hoppy Generations

As the farming goes, do we en- muiuter no difficulties, nor con- cerns at Alderlea this season? While our days are usually ser- one, due to the farmers who en- joy and are well experie ced in the care of -the livestock, there n.¢=vertheless appears times like morning when one of them or both. may discover with dis- may an animal in'stable or sty or fold in the early stages of a. misery. At once symptoms are noted. causes explored to deter- mine the nature of the ailment -~— maybe a home remedy is ad- ministered though increasingly more of late we notice they have come to depend on the services of the veterinarians, whom they call.

So this morning when a come- ly yearling. heiferr showed no in- clination for breakfast, 1 call went out along our rural line, skinned to an urban one and be- fore long to the farmers’ relief, professional help was at hand. .. _ We are often amused at the case with. which our young fry can recognize at a glance the can of those folks whose lives touch ours on the farm: the vet- eri narian's machine. those of buy- ers from -this or that packing- hmise or ‘‘plant,'' or the individ- ual drovers and salesmen who contributing in part to our life and living come in and go out of fine yards.

“I see you're making some changes in the farming -— turn- ing from beef to dairying!" one offered recently with a chuckle surveying such a pair just brought in. . “I-t‘s because of the floor-price on butxtier" we overheard the younger farmer say daily in re- ply.

“Yes. . but do you know what I was fanoyvlrsg today?" he smil- “a taste of lettuce, home-

The wood - splitting at Alder- Iea came to an end this afternoon.

“And what's next?” we asked, tonight.

“Fencing,'I reckon” J ames- re- plied, “though on a farm we nev- er know what a ‘new morning will bring. Remember this one! But” he added, settling down in the old armchair to some read- ing, " ‘all's well that ends well” we can say."

MARY HAWOR[t_i

Little Known Of ‘Marriage

Dear Mary I-Iaworth: When I read your columns I wonder (where you get your store of knowledge. You do so much good for so many people, and prob- .ably most of them never have .had to write you themselves. They are helped by reading your answers to others.

I have always honestly won- dered about the institution oi marriage; and in your column of ,Feb. 27, you illuminated the sub- ject about as well as I ever care to have it done. ‘ .

I think the so-called ideal‘mar- riage, that the majority of people are seeking. is almost never found. Life in marriage (as com- pared to the “ideal”) leaves so, much to be desired, that ofttiimes married people consider them-‘* solves the unhappiest of all. MARRIAGE IS SHELTER

If they could know at the start,

or learn to know as they go along,

is a shelter for human nature, a providential sort of arrange- ment for protecting humanity tram its own weakness and way- 'w‘ardnesr ‘mild’ l-n-stai;villty." It would be such a help; and make for so much more understanding and happiness in the world. I k-now.

My own experience, and the lives of others I lmow, are prool positive. I believe that less is known about the real reason for marriage than almost anything else in the world. And I am so hoping that you will fiurflher ex- pound your notion that “this unit- plan (marriage) is of di-vine‘ori— gin, conceived and established to sanctify the creation, and guar- antee the long term moral nu-r- ture, of human beings.”

. Your column carries help to peoples and places you will prob-

. _ ably never know. Your publish-

ers should be proud of you. I-LB.

Dear H.B.: Thank you for these

‘ kind words. Such knowledge or

wisdom, as I may dispense come from . the universal mind, of cou-rse—-the source of all that is. Any truths that we share, as the common treasure of mankind,

Slides, moving pizctures, etc. are freely used (sent to every school by central agency). Filed trips, experimental garden plots etc, are also a sohool'pra=ctice.

Space forbids more detail but the atmosphere in the classroom and attitude of the teacher is to me more important than every- thing else outside of the com- plete u-rnifonmity and dictated na- ture of the entire system of So- viet eduoaiiion. And atmosphere and altitit-ude too are as muclh .a- like in every classroom through-

out the vast Soviet empire — as

If there is fresh understanding in my present thinking about the meaning of marriage, I am prob- ably chiefly indebted to two books from British writers, that have come to my attention in recent years.

continually vanquish a monster that devours everything: the monster of l1abit.”——Blazac.
