' Know Your island ‘i

By Uncle J00

The Island lies between 46° and 47° North latitude, and 62° and 64" West longitude. it is separat- ed from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia by the Strait of Northum- bet-land, which is only nine miles \Vii'ic between the capes. We are only ‘.27 miles away from our sister island of Cape Breton, and from thr- nearest point of our tenth pro- vince 125 miles. Measured through its center, the Island is about 140 miics long; and its breadth, in the widest part towards its eastern ex- trcniity, 34 miles.

The "National School" was estab- iisiicd in 1820 iiy the government. but this was available only for children wiiose parents could af- ford to pay for their education.

It may come as a surprise to some to learn that this Island once had a dictator, namely: Governor Smith, who refused to call the Leg- islature for more than four years. tViicn it did mcct nnd prepared a petition to be prcsciitcd lo tho Throne he refused to send it out. \Viien, finally, tiie matter was brought tn the British authorities h_v Capt, John Stewart the dictator Governor ivas recalled.

At thc Wiiiisiiniidc meeting held in i834 the congregation of St. Patti's Church exercised for the first time ilf: right under this act. Salaries of (‘hurch officials were as follows: Clerk, l5 pounds: or- ganist, I0 pounds; tiic sexton, 12 pouhds. The rector‘s free for mar- riaizc, if iiy licence, l0 shillings: if hy banns, 5 shillings. A funeral at. the church cost 10s; at lhc graveyard, Ts. 6d.

DORDTHY DIX SAYS-

Adult Delinquents‘

Selfish, Neglectful Parents To Blame When Children (so Astroy

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a young girl. but I am old enough to understand life and I ani writing to tell you why we bobby-soxers are in such a hurry to get married. lt is because of our parents. They don't know how to bring us up right, or to make a good home for us. nnd all they think about is QOlHS i0 iii! "YET"! and drinking. We children know this and are ashamed of our parents.

Then our fathers and mothers fight with each other and accuse each other of awful things and say words that children should never hear. Do you call this a good life for teen-tigers? Why don't our parents have some consideration for us and help us plan out our futures? We don't want to be ashamed of our fath- erg and mothers, We want to be proud of them. We want to love them and have tiiem love us in return. We want parents who stay homo ul nights instead of running around.

Older people think the younger generation is crazy because we marry so young. We do it because we want settled homes and some- body to guide us. Most of iis don't get them, but that's what we crave. it isn't the tccii-agcrs who are at fault, Miss Dix. It‘s the parents. A TEEN-AGEIR WHO HAS A ROTTEN LIFE BECAUSE OF HER PARENTS

ANSWER: Read it and weep. for nothing in the world is more pitiful than the children who have parents, but who never know the blessing of having real fatiicrs and inotlicrs. They arc poor little ivaifs. whether they are tho children of millionaires or imupcrs. Parenthood is the grcalcst responsibility that any human being can assume and to rcnegc on this is tiie crime of crimes.

PARENTS lVONnEll

Yet thousands upon thousands of parents turn their children over to iiireiings to be reared, or let them grow up on the street with less training than they would give a puppy. And then the man who has been so absorbed in making money that he hardly knows his children by sight, and the woman who has been too occupied with her social rif- fairs to keep track of what her daughters are doing, wonder why their children have turned out so badly.

Yct the answer is always the same. It is lliP parents‘ fault when their children go astray or are failures in life. It is the parents who are too selfish, too pleasure-mad to take the trouble to form their chil- dren's characters who are responsible for their youngsters’ misdeeds. DEAR MISS DIX: I am a girl of 16. My ambition is to be a secre- iary in a big firm. My hobby is tlic piano, but I don't want a musical career. My father says that a secretary doesn't. get paid enough money and that I should make n career of my music. My question is this: Who should plan my career, my father or me?

A GIRL

ANSWER: You cannot make a success of a career unlcss you put your heart in it, so tiie decision should be yours. But don't delude your- self into thinking that it will be all play and no work to fit yourself to he a secretary in a big business firm. . Before you have gotten to he "our invaluable Miss Smith," or Miss Jones, who commands a big sai- ary, you will have to work many a hard hour.

Your father. however, is wrong when he thinks there is more money in a musical career than in a business one. lt is true that the gréat musical artists command large salaries, but tiie average musician makes no fortune.

DEAR MISS DIX: ls it riot customary for a married woman to wear her wedding ring? Our daughter-in-iaw‘has a nice wedding ring. but:

she never wcnrs it. I may he a scntimentaiist, but if my wife did not wear her wedding ring I would br- grcniiy hurt. No matter what my daugliler-in-laws excuse is about tiie ring. it is not valid. t A canzvzo FATHER-IN-LAW ANSWER: The general belief is that a wedding ring is part bf the t‘ wedding ceremony and is sacrosanct. I have known many women who have never taken their wedding ring off since it was put on their fin- gers by their husbands. However, it seems to me that you are taking tho matter too seri- ousiy. and if your f‘i%\\llIZlllt’l"-il'l~lii\l’ is allergic to her wedding ring it isn't worth starting a family feud over it. .

One of the defects that is often found in men being recruited for military duty is hernia or rupture, in which a portion of the imcstlre and the coverings which enclose it push their way through the ab- dominal wall. The comnon type of hernia (in the groin) ls known as lnguimi hernia

Where the hernia ls slight. wear- ing a truss usually keeps the in- testine and coverings from pushing out and foaming a lump. However. because of the danger of the hernia becoming strangulated when hard work such as lifting is being done, physicians and surgeons recom- mend either injections cr surgical operation.
