THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN ionszL The liride In Business uomineering Mother Clings To Ancient Tradition . ' DEAR MISS DIX: I will be 26 this year. I am engaged to the .. ' ‘ most wonderful man in the world. He has quite a bit of money saved. ‘ . enough to buy all of our furniture and still have a nice little nest egg - and is making what is agood salary for these times. I also have a (l, good job and he does not object. to my keeping it, but. my mother does. i, 4 Don't you think I am old enough to judge what is the ‘-i best to do for myself? Mother always wanted me to marry and kept nagging me about it and now that I .4 really want to marry she is standing in my way. What -» shall I do? , JANICE . ll‘ ANSWER: If you haven't enough intelligence at 26 ’ to know your own mind and decide your own problems, you never will have, so now is the time for you to make a strike for treedom and cut your mother's apron string. Of course, as long as you live you will want to listen respectfully l to your mother's opinions and avoid needlessly hurting her by refusing y to take her advice. But when you are woman-grown you have to stand l on your own feet and settle your own affairs. Your mother can't do that for you. She can't live your life for you, or really know what is best for you, no matter how much she thinks she does. thing that ls not her business. The question is absolutely between you and the young man, and if you want to continue on with your job and he does not object, your mother has no say-so in the matter. You would certainly be very foolish not to go on and do the ‘thing that your judgment indicates to you is the wisest thing 10 dO- Y0"? mother's objection is based upon nothing better than some outmoded (Continued on page 9) In this case she is altogether wrong, and she is interfering in someq Ellen ’s Diary By an Island Farmer's Wife In yesterday's sunshine and in- vigorating coolness, James nftcr breakfast decided "we may as wall get some of that wood into the woodshed today, while it's dry. It's in good shape right now, and per- haps if we leave it, it will be like last year-don't you remember it. Elleni" Once June and July were over, well it never seemed to dry out‘ again. Yes, I think we'd better tend to that today. "So with our own mare and the farm-cart, and what turned out to be, very little assistance, he attabked the heap in the yard. This work was continued today and his solitary state at it left him good cause to discuss it when a favorable opportunity presented itself. "Now I'll Just leave it to you," he commented to an agent who called with his wares, "since it's always the women that burn the wood. shouldn't they be the ones to store it? That's really a self-evident truth, but what's your opinion on the matter?" We have a notion that if the women-kind had not chanced to be in the vicinity the reply would not have been so tact- ful and more in favor of the mascu- line element concerned. As it was. James must keep steadily at it alone, stick by stick although he l. Perfoctlnn Butter liow Wrapped In Aluminum Foil There is something new in the grocery store today — a pound of butter wrapped in aluminum foil. This wispy, thin sheet of Alu- minum, gaily printed and lamin- ated to a sheet of parchment, is the ultimate in protection for but- ter. Interested departments of the Federal and Provincial Govern- ments have conducted conclusive tests with this new wrap that prove that butter wrapped in Pure Aluminum Foil keeps its "dairy fresh" flavor longer. After months of study and re- search Central Creameries Ltd, one of the oldest established but- ter producers in Canada, has adopted this revolutionary wrap. This decision to adopt Aluminum Foil will not only bring better butter to Island homemakers but will allow Prince Edward Island butter to travel with that fresh churned flavor to distant mar- kets. was not this fate. altogether resigned to O O There were those about who were (Continued on Page 3) star ol _ ‘THE lUCKY STIFF". produced by Joel: loony Imagine .- . a a big new both size Lux Soap!

The round trip covers n distance of twenty miles, and when one has to take off mittens on cold winter days to pick up the pennies and letters in approximately eighty boxes-why, it actually makes us shiver to think of it. Starting at\North River post-of- fice, Nelson's route of travel takes him via York Point to Cornwall post-office, thence across the road leading\ through East Wlltshire (where his farm is located) to East Wiltshire school, where he makes a left-hand turn which car- ries him to Kingston, the end of the route. Nowadays, twenty miles doesn't seem like a long journey. It isn't, either, when you use an automo- bile; but Nelson never used one. He still sticks to his horses. Why?

ASTHMA AND CLHVIATE some one has said that tho way to clear up hay fever and asthma is to move sway from where you now live; it in Baltimore move to Washington, and if you live in Washington move to Baltimore. Even moving next door may be far enough away to get free of- the causes of asthma. This is because something in your home-house dust. feathers, furs-may irritate nose and throat because you are allergic to it. While there is no question that moving to a. dry climate such as Arizona gives complete relief to most cases of hay fever, asthml. and sinus disturbances, it can easily be seen that if the family cat are also moved to this dry climate the patient may suffer from his asthmatic attacks the-r? just the same. .
