Heedless Youth

Girl of 16 iiasents Mother's ilblectlon To Early Marriage

DEAR. BLISS DIX My 16-year-old daughter and her boy friend, 'wbo is only l8, think i am very cruel and unreasonable because I ob- ject to their being married while they are so young and before they have any means of support. They say 1 am old-fashioned and that l am trying to pick out my daughter's husband, and they threaten to run off and be married secretly. But it is not true thatT a.n tryng to Interfere with their lives. 1 am only attempting to get them to wot until they are in a position to make their marriage s success.

_Tbey are both still in school. The boy has no father to depend upon. as his mother divorced his father and he doesn't even know where hc is. Aiso, the boy is spoiled by his mother. He is sel- fish, rude. high-tempered, with no cducat on ex- cept his high school training and no trade. l-lc hasn't even decided what he would like to do to~. wards making a living.

Don't you think I am right in saying that it‘ would be the part of wisdom to defer marriage lntil they are ready for it? . .

WORRIED MOTHER

ANSWER: When a boy of 18 and a girl of l6 get married withou’. WY 11193115 of Support. they are simply defying Fate. and nothing short of a miracle will keep them from landing in the divorce court. Love's young dream doesn't last. long when it encounters dependence. povertv, ihabblnfﬁi. and SPOHSiHt; on relatives \\'ho do not want to b: burdened with them. That is not because they are avaricious. It is because they haie to eat. and be clothed. and have a roof to cover them. Nobody can be romantic and sentimental on an empty stomach.

NEED PARENTAL ADVICE

It is folly to ignore these palpable facts. and thus it. becomes the bouziden duty of all parents to do everytling possible to keep their children from marrying until they have some definite way of making a living. It doesn't require a fortune for them to marry on. but it does require a meal ticket. And any parents who can induce their love-sick kids to put off the wedding until the prospective bridegroom has a steady Job does them the greatest. possible service.

I I I M. Alder-lea. we were so assu- to commence work today that svsn Jamie sitting in Jack's place at our breakfast table said with some limpatience: "You needn't think [ﬁrst I can wait till dinner time tor this to cool." He indicated cue bowl of porridge in front o! him. which he found so hot that 4:1 "had to add so much milk, r | ~.in‘t see one sign of the sugar’ a ‘distressing state of affairs to Jimie, to whom "seeing is believ- zzig." Like the bad and good weath- er he continues to come andgo. iY-sterrlay afternoons quiet had i-rought him and his family, in- viidlng the young creeping fellow ,to tea. and it so happened that lat the going home time, and for ‘m reason at al1 that I knew of Jamie's footsteps were lagging and there were wistful backward l0uits when he made his way to itnt- truck. And James who notices ‘his every change of expression said in a resigned but nevertheless. p.eased way; "Oh well Karolyn. I guess you had better let him stay." And then Jamie piped up blithely: “Gran’daddy' and I have got to start the banking tomcr row."

t o

And while Jamie must of neces- sity lolter over his eating the morning sun splashed the windows of the kitchen and lay bright and mellow on the walls. lovely it was after the speli of dark weath- er snd as one went later about the work, instinctively a snatch cf a song was on one's lips. The sunlight lingered on the burnisli- ed leaves of the vines entwined on the rose trellis_ and lit Jack's going to his plowing, the horses Willi steps refreshed by their day oi rest.

It was after the morning chor- ing had been completed that Jamie and his grand-father went to the tanking. of a barn first and later ‘it-s house. Jamie came in to con- “ill mc about ilic litttcr. "Anti irrc" he risked me "would you ‘inc us to bcziii?" The tlcur, l JF'(l to mysrli, beaming down on him. Here one of the third gen- oration that I had known, was go- ing to defer to the opinion of his women. At long last I could see "no dawn of a new day for our women kind. “In the sunlight here below the kitchen windows" I answered brightly, remembering itw good it was for small lads to enyoy the sunshine. And ‘ “

here I could have the two within sight. the older and younger. l lilac to come to a window or door-

e,» es alight with interest, cheeks red from his exertions, hands busy, imitating James and already learn- ing from him to do any chore well. 1 tound as far as the advice of tiie women were concerned Jamie was a- chip ofl the old block. "No" no replied solemnly "we can't begin tl-ere. You see we've already put the first load of clay around at the oilier side of the‘ house.” l

The fact’ that only one round-

mouthed shovel was in repair gave

moments of concern to the two.

For as Jamie said: “There's not

rniich use in trying tn shovel clay

with a square shovel — I've tried

it." And once in a. short discus-

sion over the question of rights of use. and quite in accord with the

times Jamie washed his hands oi

ti-ieless resolute grand-parent to rloe up the lane alone. some cook- ‘es set. the issue tn rights. or at least affected a compromise for presently I overheard: “and how will we do it this time?" as the .wo on the best of terms went for another load of clay. Very pleas- ant was our day. "A pet one" we said noticing Jamie's wash with t ie smali ones colorful dresses and overalls waving with the rest of the pieces in the light wind and drying Summer-like in the lun- ilght.

I a-m quotin! from a pamphlet. "Vision and High- wny Safety." published by the Pub- lic Health Bureau of the Aimerican Optametrlc Association.

As we examine the above figures, we are not surprised that poor eyesight or deficient eyesight. not corrected by glasses, is one of the principal causes of fatal accidents

Then. when we learn tihat 60 per cent of all fatal accidents occur at nlgiht. when even good €Y€Slght may not prevent some accidents. it can readily be seen how poor eyesi-ht can be a big, factor in causing these nlgiht ac- cidents. In one state, night blind-j ness was found in 48 per cent of_ drivers in highway accidents. i‘ What about your eyesight? Be-l cause you appear to have no diffi-i culty in reading newspapers» and‘ books nor in reading signs or know-. ing faces across the street, is no

guarantee that you have normal

eyesight. Being able to do these things may be causing a slight‘ strain on fibe nerves, of which you

are not aware.

As we all should be checked over

by our physician at least once a

year. the distance test (about. l5 or

20 feet) and the reading test <14

inches) should be included. Sihould

here be any difficulty in seeing the

letters at the distance, 20 feet, or

ordinary type at 14 inches, he may

refer vou to an oculist. He will note

any disease or defect of tine eye

present and, lf not. will measure the

eyesight and prescribe glasses to

correct any deficiency. 0r your phy-

sician may send you directly to an

optometrist. who likewise will ex-

amine your eycsiglit and nrcscribe| the glasses necessary to correct

any defect. The optcian grinds the

CARE OF PIANO

Perhaps a piano is about the most expensive piece of furniture in the average Canadian house- hold. Aside from caring for its appearance. the homemaker should remember its delicate mechanism. sue shouldtake care never to put a piano against an outside wall which is more susceptible to tem- perature changes than the inside walls of s house.

APPLIANCES NEED CARE

Small electrical appliances need protection from water and falls to avoid injury to the heating el- ement. Keep them in a dry and revel place. Never set an appliance on a window sill where it can be knocked over when the, window is shut or be drenched by rain.
