Unusual too are some of those that have been recorded of the first months of this year which leads now the century along a westering trail. of these things posterity will one day read. and reading we suspect mar- vel, perhaps not so much over the man-made happenings as of those allowed by Nature. By a winter- ffre of the future, in a farm-home, while a storm rages without. and the snow heaps high on the panes. a grandfather will recall as does James on occasion to the grand- children. tales of the past. He will tell that he "always heard the winter of '51 was about the mild- est that Island folks ever saw. An odd season it was, if ever. with comparatively little snow-fall and very few frosty spells. More like a continuation of fall weather it was, and I mind hearing that more than one farmer was caught with his wood cut in the lot and no snow to haul it home! It was a remarkable Winter 'twas said." . . . . However. it will also be history- that if The Island enjoyed pleas-1 ant weather, the Provinces in the west received more than their share of cold and snow. There. try- ing and unusual conditions pre- vailed . . . And looking back to a darker side of the picture. others sftetus will recall the epidemic of flu "in the winter of '51". re- membering as well it is likely since in mind miseries go together "that was the same year there was no price' for potatoes." But on the other hand. nice happenings will be recounted. Somewhere. it may be in a cozy chimney-corner. since history can repeat itself tnuclririgly as well as less favou- ably. a. grandmother will sing soft- ly as she touches ii toe to rock some ancestral wooden cradle. A Paisley shawl will wrap her shoul- ders and the cap of black lace she wears will be smart and becoming. Neat loops of gold will adorn her ears and the band on her finger will be of the same. worn thin by the years. And as the snallish hands that knew well when to of- fer a comforting gesture or when to administer a sound but "set.- tling" slap. knits a round on the leg of another suit of warm wool- en underwear for the master of the house, she will interrupt her singing to listen to the wind - snd watch as a. wild gust whirls drifts of snow angrily before it along a length of hill-side. And the other children about that there was a winter when she was a child or indeed it could have been before she was w Tha'I' Body Of Yours It llnu W. Barton.

There is something about the drilling of a tooth. especially as the drill approaches nearer and nearer the pulp (nerves and blood vessels) that causes us to be tense. which. of course. only intensifies the pain. heat and vibration. It will be good news for every- body to learn that a new instru- ment designed to get rid of nearly all vibration. pressure and heat caused by the present drill has been reported by Dr. Robert B. Clack, Corpus Christi. Texas. in- ventor of the instrument. in The Journal of the American Dental Association. It is an "nirbraslve" machine which at present is get- ting a real trial in dental schools before it is put in general use by dentists. The machine. which has been in process of development since 1942. prepares dental cavi- ties for nllings by air-iirasive cut- ting action. A gas-propelled force blasts the abrasive material from the nozzle of a handpiece. not un- like a drill in appearance. "Airbrasive" depends for its action on a fine stream of suitable gas carrying a controlled quan- tity of small abrasive particles. The abrasive, traveling at super- sonic speeds of more than 1000 feet per second. blasts out the cav- ity instead of grinding it out and doesn't came in contact with the tooth as does a dental drill. It is described as essentially a non- mechanical operation. Dr. Black states that the air- brasive is not capable of doing all the work of the rotary drill. Its chief use is that of preparing a. tooth for filling or jacket crown by cutting through tooth enamel. the hardest substance of the human body. and of removing stub- born stains and heavy deposits of tartar (the forerunner of pyor- rhea) from the tooth surface. "Its principal value lies in the fact that it cuts hard tooth structure easily and ac('uralei,v." Dr. Black states. It cannot be used to re- move the soft part of the tooth immediately under the enamel. To most persons Dr. Bladifs statement that "this method of preparing teeth for restoration does not stimulate fear and appre- hension” will be good news indeed. Patients will willingly undergo ab- raislve treatment who otherwise would neglect and eventually lose their teeth. born since so often she had heard her mother speak of it . . ."Not much like this one!

Take a hot bath, followed by a cold bath. at least Drew had been driving aimless- ly out on the Airline Highway. 0! course, he could always go to the Fontaines', and there were many duller places to spend it Sunday afternoon. Stella had de- veloped aimazingly during her years abroad, and her musical achievements were only a small part of this development. Her success from the beginning had been phenomenal. One by one. the big parts had come Stella's way. At last there was a night when she san-g the supreme song in Louise, not among the shadows of a ruined allee, but on a great stage. facing a brilliant amphi- theatre packed to the last. inch of standing room. Raoul had cross- ed the Atlantic to hear her sing. But after the opera was over. there was a champagne supper in the director's quarters. and a dozen men were clustering around the prima donna. clamoring for the privilege of taking her home. She had laughed lightly at all of them including Raoul and. in the end. she had slipped away from all of them, under the wing of the faithful Julie, through a side door. it had taken a second World War to bring her back. She had reached New Orleans in the early with clothes or hardship to t1runkloads.of which she had tell, but beautiful travellers were recklessly aban- doning their iuggage on the dis- ordered -piers of France. What was more significant still. she slipped with apparent ease back into the life which she had led before, never bragging about her success. But the less she claimed for herself. the more others ac- corded her. Her pre-eminence as a Carnival Queen formed a small part in her pattern of conquest. Drew had continued to drive without purpose toward town as he thought about Stella. and he was still going in the general di- rection of her house when he turn- ed into St. Charles Avenue. But before he had gone many more blocks he suddenly knew what he wanted to do; and presently he brought his car to a stop in front of the long walk, bordered by azaleas. which led to a "raised cottage" belonging to distant kins- folik of his grandmother, of whom he had onoeseen a good deal but whom he had neglected for an indefinite period. It was really a charming place. he reflected, as he walked slow- ly toward the house. He raised the brass knockur and knocked vigorously. Almost instantly the from door was flung open; the light from the lantern fell full on the bright hair and candid face of Patty For-resiai. She drew back a little, giving a small smothered exclamation of surprise as she did to.

"If I stayed. could I help you make the cocoa?" Drew brecken- ridge inquired. "Why of course." Patty said cor- dially. "Only the pantry is rather messy and there are ants in it." "There is nothing on earth so barren looking as a neat pantry," Drew remarked encoursgingly. "And a Southern house wouldn't be complete without ants. would it? Any more than it would be complete without a gallery around it and magnolia trees in front of it? Of course we talk more about the galleries and magnolias than we do about the ants--to out- siders anyway. and strangers. But you and I belong here. so we dont need to pretend.

MISS DIX: Don't ANSWER: Undoubtedly. But it would virtually silence the wed- dlng hell; if lovers stopped to psycho-analyze each other and ascer- tain what it was that made them feel thatswaiy about that particular . girl or boy. For we are all in the Doctor Fell class when it come; to our emotions. The reason why we cannot tell, when we are attracted to one individual and repulsed by another who both ap- parently are of equal worth and have equal charms. DOVE DOESN'T REASON AI in matter of fact, we don't love people for their virtues. No man falls in love with a girl because she is a good cook. or because she is in- dustrlous. or because she teaches Sunday School, or because she is kind to her old parents. or because she is the sort of a girl who would make a good wife. On the contrary. he is far more likely to fall in love with some little fllbbertigibbet who is pretty and attractive and lively and who has a way with her. Nor does a girl fall in love with R man because he is settled and sober and has a prosperous garage. She is more likely to fall in love with a good-looking acamp with a light foot and a nimble tongue and who knows more about making love than he does about making a living. Of course, if we picked out our husbands and wives by their good qualities. we would make much more sensible matches than we do. We would marry the homely. sensible Jones girl who has a tidy little fortune and is the best cskemaker in town. instead of the glamorous It wsc hall and farewell for H. M.C.S.

But would we be happier if we did. and if we married for our heads instead of our hearts? The Stars Say - - By Genevieve Ramble DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a girl of 21. I am well educated. of the studious type, hard working. conscientious and very sensitive. My father earns just enough to keep existing and all my life my greatest ambition has been to get a good position so that I could earn enough to make things easy for my people. So far I liave'not been lucky enough to obtain a very good job. but rim working hard and hoping for better things. But here is my trouble: For the last three years I have been going with .1: boy who wants me to marry him. We love one another very dearly, but I want to help my parents. Besides. I definitely think that I am cut out for the business world. I like office work and I hate housework. What shall I do? , DILEMMA ANSWER: Nobody can answer that quesflon for you. It is ll matter that you must decide according to the dictates of your own heart and conscience. And. it is a hard one to settle when affection lg? pity for your parents pulls one way and young love pulls an- o er. In making your decision you must take into consideration the fact that you are going to have to support your parents as long as they live. for your father will make less and less as the years go by. and the whole burden of the family support will eventually fall on your shoulders or the shoulders of the man you marry. Hum -m For Tomorrow IT is probable that by a shrewd and strategic move. the current unprofitable and disastrous situ- aiion may be remedied. or com- pensated for, by clever justincu- tlon or plausible excuses. whereby there may be some measure of restoration to the good graces of those whose faith and interven- tion are vital to the carrying on of important operations.

It Is Your Birthday Those whose birthday it is. are urged to be tasf-ful, gracious and perhaps penlient. in attempting to mend broken fences and find . er dreamed of calling your mother i Spring Into Summer Wardrobe Another thing is that you are evidently a girl with a natural aptitude for business and that you yourself are as likely to find as much happiness in espousing a career as you would in espousing a husband. There are plenty of women whose tastes run to typewriters instead of gas ranges and who are far more contented in accounting rooms than they are in kitchens. Still. I am not advising you to sacrifice yourself for your family. You have as much right to voiir happiness as they have to theirs and if you are sure that life will be clnders. ashes and dust to you without this young man, marry him and trust to luck. reprieve and restoration and con- ndence of those whose unstlnled collaboration have built up im- portant plans and pledge of com- mitmcnts.- A timely "hunch". an intuition of some sort. or inspired revelation may be the implement most effectively furnished by "in- ner guidance."
