Women's realm THE GUARDIAN FEBRUARY 21. 1952 PAGE TWO Paneake Day Game: Anti Ancient Traditions .. That Body Of Yours 3: James W. Iharlou. bu). Boys in Westminster in I London eagerly await Pancake Day each year. At 11.00 3. m. the Head Master solemnly emerges Iran the school kitchen followed by a cook. bearing a. large plu- cake. In the school he throws it into a crowd of waiting boys, who fight for possession of the pan- cake. The lad who emerges with the biggest chunk of the pancake gets a sum of money from the school funds. This is a centuries-old Pan- cake Day tradition which is still quite popular in the school today. Football was commonly played on Pancake Day in old England and Scotland and still is the sport of the day in many communities. The annual Pancake Day Football game. in bygone centuries, was a -loosely organized drive in which the goal lines were often three to :five miles apart -- a distance which usually held the score down to a. couple of goals per game. When this annual Football game W55 Played the storekeepers made is practice of hoarding up all their windows on the main streets! A writer records that at Dork- Ins. England, late in the last cen- tury. tradesmen customarily took up a collection on Pancake Day morning to defray the cost of dam. ages resulting from the football game! One place where the game still survives is Ashbourne, Darby- shire, where a deep stream 1195 midway between the goals, some of the liveliest scrimmage: take place in this stream. BEARING AIDS AND HEARING OLINICS There was a time when the hard- of-hearing individual who pur- chased a hearing aid frequently found that, although it seemed. of real help at the time of purchase. it gave thoroughly disappointing results when it was tried at home. Much of the satisfaction with present day hearing aids has been brought about by the various soc- ieties formed to help the hard of hearing. These organizations meet with manufacturers and their en- gineers to not- only manufacture helpful hearing aids but to service these aids just as do the manufac- turers of automobiles and other utilities. As a matter of fact. hearing aid manuizicturcrs and salesmen are only too willing to re-test hearing aids and want the purchaser to re- turn for these tests. The great majority of hcariiig aids manufac- tured today ulld tried on the pat- ient by efficient demonstrators give satisfactory results. In Hearing News, published by the American Hearing Society. Washington. D. C.. Harry P. Ware- liam discusses hearing aids and hearing clinics. Before purchasing a licaring aid. the first stop any person whose hearing is failing should take is to see an otologist. the.-iring spec- ialisti. If he advises the use of a hearing aid, some guidance is nec- essary. For this purpose. hearing aid clinics have been establishedl such services are available at many chapters of the American llc-aring Society. a national organization devoted to the prevention of deaf- ness, the conversation of hearing and the rehabilitation of the hard of hearing. some chapters offer consultation only while others make hearing tests. demonstrate hearing aids and give help in their selection. These chapters do not sell hearing aids or derive any profit through the sale of an aid. Instruments are placed on display for testing purposes by the local hearing aid dealers in the community without any oblig- ation on the part of the clinic or agency (chapter) to refer patients for purchase of hearing aids. A list of these chapters or agencies may he obtained from the Ameri- can I-Iearing Society. 817 Four- teenth Si.. N. w.. Washington. D. C. "In A highly competitive field such as the hearing aid industry. instruction in the use and care of 3 hearing aid often has been in- adequate so that too many aids have been laid away on the shelf instead of fulfilling the purpose for which they were designed," Mr. Warren tells us. Remember, don't purchase I hearing aid until your ear special- ist advises that he cannot further help your hearing.

Do we need meet every day? The main reason for eating it is that it supplies our body with pro- teins. However. many other cheap- er foods also supply protein-fish. cheese. milk and eggs. The different parts of our body are made up of different proteins. Hormones like insulin and thyroxin are proteins. Antibodies that fight infections are proteins. Much of the blood is protein. All these proteins in our body are constantly being used up placed by what we eat. some foods than others. These teins we may use the cheaper ones often. Compare the cost of these foods that supply equal amounts of protein: 214,- oz. round steak 14 cents 2 eggs .fl'l'.t " 2 oz. cheddar cheese .07 ” 54? pint milk .05 " 2": oz. pork live .05 2'-;- oz. haddock fillets .O'l'l.i In addition to protein, eggs have a great deal of iron and Vitamin B, cheese and milk are rich in calcium. and liver is extrem y high in vitamin A. riboflavin and iron;all of which may be lacking in our meals. As we compare the cost and the excellent food value of eggs. cheese. milk. liver and fish with more expensive meat. we wonder why we are so concerned about having meat every day. Be wise. economize. Eat a vari- ety of these protein foods. and cook the cheaper ones more often. A .- V Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q.

Wife Should Stand By Till He Comes To His Senses DEAR MISS DIX: My husband and I were engaged when I was 16. but delayed marrying. until he was discharged from service six years ago. We have two children. He has made me the happiest girl in the world. Now I'm 27 and he's 29. I've always trusted him and my faith was justified until six months ago when he began running around with another woman. She is mar- ried and is cheating on her husband. My hus- band admlts the affair but says he would never leave me or the children for this other woman. When he tries to break off with her. she chase! after him. Several people who know of the affair have advised me to leave him. but I can't. I couldn't live without him, and for the children's sake I feel I should stay. I keep nagging him about this woman and he's getting pfetty disgusted with me and pleads with me not to argue about it; when the time comes he'll leave her. What can I do? ' Muriel Nlaaen CONNIE ANSWER: Iiarcl as the advice is to take. there's nothing you can do except sit tight, stop nagging. and continue praying for the end of this sordid affair. When your husband comes to his senses. which will probably be soon. he'll be thoroughly ashamed of himself for yielding to the blandishments of a cheap. tawdry woman. You will everlnstingly have one advantage over him: you have kept your sclf-respect while he has lost his. W'HA'l' ABOUT HER HUSBAND? Since so many people know of this affair and are so free with advice to you. doesn't anyone pass the information on to the wrong- Ed husband? -When the news gets to him. he may do something 10 bring his Wife home. though why he should want her I couldn't say. You are well aware of the drawbacks to a separation from your husband: living without the man you' love and 'depriving your chil- dren of a father. Since this future doesn't appeal to you. you have no recourse but to ninke the best of a situation until it is changed. nagging will not achieve that change! Stop mcntlonlntz either the affair or the woman to your husband; he'll be so flnbbergz-isted he may forget her entirely. Focus your attention on your fine young sons. In caring for them you'll find case from your heartache. find an prayer you have ii consolation to carry you through these bitter ays. . DEAR MISS DIX: The woman I love is hurt.by remarks I have made. such ns asking her why she makes no attempt to interest her- self ln the things I do pertaining to business. etc. She claims if I tell her her faults now. what will I do Inter. etc. Am I wrong to lpresiime that a wife should be willing to share her husband's prob- ems. ARTHUR G. ANSNVER: Your fiancee is a remarkably thin-skinned woman; marriage to her will be a continuous round of soothed hurt feelings. You are perfectly right in wanting. as a wife, a woman who will be a helpmnte and companion. What she wants is to be a pampered darling with not a care in the world. Better find a girl with ii little more backbone. You may think you're brokenheaijted now. but it's much better to be hurt before marriage than after. DEAR MISS DIX: My boy friend comes to see me almost every night. but never has nnything to say. He just sits and waits for some- one else to do the talking. I am 16 and he is 17. JUNE ANSWER: Since you are both in high school. he comes to see you entirely too often. Don't you both have homework and studying to do? You could use a little more attention to your schoolwork, June. so why not spend more time at it? If your friend only calls two or three times a week he'll have more to say. Since he is apparently the strong. silent type. he de- pends upon you to set the conversational ball rolling. This you can do by opening a discussion on sports. school activities. current movies. local events. tVhen you find a topic that particularly inter- ests him. such as his favorite sport, let him do the talking. with an occasional encouraging question from you. His is a difficult type to handle. but it is usually worth the effort. - Patterns When a. large table is not avail- able for cutting out patterns. a handy substitute can be effected hy the use of a strip of table oil- cloth large enough to cover the bed.
