I I - important 0men's realm PAGE TWO THE GUARDIAN ' JULY 16, 1951 EI.I.Ell'S llIAllV By An Island Farmer-'5 Wife We enjoyed our proposed walk along the fields with James on an hour of the week-end. A solemn hour it was . . last evening. with the sun settling in all its sum- mer glory behind Pat's woodlands to the west of us and the exquisite coolness of dew-fall then in the of- fing. And the time was nearing when we must fetch the cows from their pasture on a far hillside, home to the milking. Granddaugh- ter accompanied us. to exclaim over many a spread treasure of berry and blossom, to tire at length and to rest awhile in James' kindly arms, before continuing her way. Along the farm-lane we wan- dered, where it rises at first and then runs levelly away from the buildings. Then left the beaten path there to set our course through grain and hay-land. Skirt- ing the woodlarcts, serene an reverent. in the absence of any sound of field-work, we passed through the first crop in the stump-field . . and at a rise there. turned to search tk. horizon to the south. "And what do you see?" James queried of granddaughter. whose eyes followed ours to the sky-line. "I can see the spire of the Church" she smiled "and 'houses and all, over the country- side: " I 0 U 0 We came to a lonely far field of hay which quite hid granddaugh- ter in its flowery aisles, where we are sure nothing else dwells but the dim echoes of the outside world.

Along scented and ferny hedge- rows we strolled, into silvery be- daisied meadows which James de- ciared would yield "fair-good cuts" for the winter feeding.

And we lingered in that safe haven while James took stock of how "that smallest one gained" not pausing over-long at it as he might on a week-day, and obviously postponing the rite to a more fitting season. And the Neil- mare and her filly who own now the canopy of heaven for their stable-roof, came to the bars to ac- cept an offering of grass from granddaughters hand. And now though steps were weary, strangely refreshed and at peace with our- self and the world about and leav- ing James to herd the cows along 3, path by the stream, we came by way of the farm-lane with our small one to "dusk and dew and home again!" 0 O I O The peace and tranquility of the week-end cor..es only M be broken at Mondays dawning . . a golden Monday if ever, spread with July's delights - and presently lines of wash. swaying lightly in the sum- mer breeze. After breakfast the truck brought in our helpers and with an industrious sound of saw- ing and hammering the new week was under way. Lads worked on the heights of the bam-roof with their elders, placing and rialltng boards there. hurrying the work to provide present shelter for the hay. James spied the first blossom on the timothy this morning, a rnisslve to him from Mother Na- ture to acquaint him with the fact that sheltering mows or none, the haying will be presently upon us. "What do I smell?" granddaugh- ter queried as she played with the kittens on the front verandah this noon. "on.

The Stars Say - - By Genevieve Kemblo Thai Body Of Your: Z Iy James W. Barton. MD. RKEUMATIC HEART DISEASE Dr. osler, the greatest physician of modern times, once stated that more illnesse; started in the throat and nose than in any other part of the body. It is for this reason that general physicians and nose and throat specialists try to save the lining of nose and throat and also try to save the tonsils. as the lining of the nose kills harmful organisms before they enter the bronchial tubes and lungs. and the tonsils, filter out from the blood harmful organisms and the pro- ducts of hartnful organisms. It is only when the tonsils become in- fected themselves and are unable to filter out harmful organisms and wastes from these organisms that. they are removed It has been well said that rheu- matic fever is childhond's greatest enemy. Even one attack of t.onsil- litis may cause an attack of rheu- matic fcver two or three weeks after the tonsils are normal again. Rheumatic fever is the forerunner of heart disease. In Michigan State Medical As- sociation Journal Dr. H. McCul- loch states that every attack of rheumatic fever prcdut-es some harmful change or alteration in the structure of the hctirt. Generally, any change or alter- ation in the structure of the heart caused by rheumatic fever which inflame: the lining of the heart can be easily detected by the phy- sician but even where the usual signs of change cannot be detect- ed, a change in structure should be suspected. Usually there is en- largement of the heart and alter- ation in the heart sounds. Together with the enlargement and changes in heart sounds. there may be thrills and murmurs due to changes in the caliber of the blood vessels in the heart. "The use of X-rays, electrocardio- grams, and electrc;.honocardio- grams made under standard con- ditions. reveal information that is invaluable and cannot be obtained otherwise," writes Dr. .VlcCulloch First attacks of rheumatic fever occur most. frequently between the ages of five and nine years. With each attack, there is an increase in damage done to the heart. Chronic heart disease appears most frequently in the ten to 14 age group. The problem of treating rheumatic fever patients should rest in the hands of the family physician. the general practitioner or children's specialist, although the heart specialist may be con- sulted to ,make sure of the diag- nosis. when we think that it simple sore throat or an attack of ton- sillltls can cause rheumatic fever followed by heart disease, we can understand the need for careful supervision, good nursing and ab- solute rest in any such cases.

CHAPTER VD Pam did not reply at once: they had come to a crossing and Burle- son observed that she took advan- tage of it to hurry him across and point out the magnificence of a florlst's display. "Those are blue carnations. I don't like them; they're unnatur- al" "I see that I'll have to observe this blue carnation young man. myself," Burieson retorled dryly. She laughed delightedly "I wish you would. You'd like him; he is not like-like-" "Archie Landon?" She was indignant. "Archie's such a social idiot; he only dances and plays bridge and keeps tag on Aunt Lynn's social list." "Well, that's more than most of us can do." "You wouldn't want me to mar- ry Archie Landon, would you?" "No! But. I don't believe you'd pay any attention to my 'wants'; you're too modern." "I wonder why you're so nice to me when we're alone together. Uncle Herbert?" She leaned her head back to look up at him. "You're really jolly, and you're terrible sometimes!" "I lose my temper, Pamela: that's my trouble," he admitted; ' "you see, I've got the devil of a. temper. Perhaps this new young man of yours will rouse it." "You'll rouse mine if you him 'my young man'l" He laughed. a little grimly.

He looked at her and his big mouth widened into a hard smile. "Not to be caught, young worn- an. You'll not get John the Bap- tist's head on a charger-out of me. What is it?" "Your little jade Uncle I-lerbertl" "No!" god - please. she had maxed for it before, but never before had she been refused with such violence. A red streak went up over his thin face: it showed vividly between his eyes like a scar. She was startled; for a. moment she "id nothing and then she ventured. ..why?.. "That's my business," he re- plied sharply; then, seeing her face fall, he qualified it. ''It's not transferable; a friend gave it to me long ago. Besides, it's unlucky; you needn't covet it!" His sharpness alarmed her; she peeped at him as they parted to pass through a crowd at the cor- ner. He did lose his temper! she lagged a little; he had to wait at the other side for her to come up, but she pretended she had been dodging motors. He looked at her shrewdly and knew he had fright- ened her. "I'm sorry," he said, more con- siderately. "ask something else, Pam. You can't have that bit of Jade! Before I die I'm going to smash it." "I wish you'd tell me then!" she pleaded. "I expect to tell the Angel Ga- briel," he said, "but no one else." She smiled, shaking her head at him, but she said no more about the jade god. Something interven- ed, too, to sweep it from her thoughts. They had come to an- other corner, waiting for the traf- tic. Suddenly she caught his arm. "Look!" she said softly, "don't you see that tall man getting into the bus? See. he's had to wait for. that old woman and the child to go first. He doesn't see us-that's Stewart Byram." It was a moment before Burle- son found the young man in the crowd at the curb.

"You say he's Lan- don's friend?" "Archie brought him. You re- member. don't you?" Burleson assented, musing: "Yes. I noticed him. I wonder if Landon always knows his friends?" he added dryly. He did not hear the girl catch her breath; she gave him a quick aldelong glance from under her dark lashes, and then looked away. she was angry ..phe blood rushed up to her hair. "Do you mean you don't like his looks?" she asked after a moment. To be continued Smith or John smith. Jr., has died.

He goes out with the boys, and I I10 Out with the Elrll. but Slime- how it isn't quite the same. Is a mother supposed to dedicate night: - as well as days to her children? is there any- thing so terrible about having a baby-sitter one night a week? My family does not live near me. but my mother-in-law, whom I love dearly, has often told they were grown up. I accepted this as definite policy and we never go out together, but now I wonder if this is wrong. I can see thnt the chil- dren grow all too quickly, and that God has given s .. ' us a great responsibility in these little lives, but somehow I also see other girls going out with their husbands and their children are as well-adjusted as mine. It might be hard to leave them at first. as they have never been without us at night, but I feel it's now or never. I know we could get a high-school girl to come in once a week. even if it's only' for us to go to our church meetings instead of taking turns. Do you think this would harm the children in any way? If they wake up would they be too frightened if someone strange was there? Would ap- preciate your suggestions on this problem. .V B. E. ANSWER: One of the worst things a mother can do in her relationship with her children is to make it martyr of herself for them. This is exactly the stand the older generation taken with the self-righteous attitude that because Grandma sacrificed every plea- sure: every amusement and never left her children alone for a mo- ment, every young mother should do the same. These are the women who will never alimit that their children grow up, and who wall to high heaven when their offspring leave the family hearth to marry and set out on their own. TEACH THEM SELF-RELIANCE To my mind the responsibilities of parenthood are much better realized by the mother who teaches her children to stanul on their own feet, without preaching of the hardships and sacrifices she has made to bring them into the world and rear them. She also has the responsibility to give them a happy, well-adjusted family background. and this surely entails a close, harmonious relationship between father and mother. The arrival of children all too often means the end of courtship days for the young parents-and this should not be so. An evening out together once in a while will do wonders to keep the love light burning. As the youngsters grow older, they will trike a definite pride in seeing mom and pop step out all dressed up for a gala occasion. Isn't this better than having mom make a drudge of herself. never owning a pretty dress, forgetting how to dance, and giving up all her old friends? Get a capable baby-sitter, then take an evening off now and then with no misgivings. You will be taking the best course for you, your husband and your children. , Before the children are actually left with the sitter for an eve- ning, give them all a chance to become iicquninled. Have the sitter over some afternoon and let the youngsters know that she will soon have charge of them for an evening. If you bring in a total stranger, the children probably would be frightened if they woke. . DEAR MISS DIX: I have been keeping company with a very nice young man for nearly a year.
