Soured Sevenieens

Over Protective Parents Drivo Daughters To Break Bonds

DEAR MISS DIX: We are two lively girls who want to get a kick out of lite. We have chances to go places and do things. but our parents are very strict and won't let us go to dances or stay out late at any entertziitiments. We intend to go to a business college in n city anti make up for what we have missed, for we will be free. Does

_ it do our parents any good to be strict now, for we will soon be doing as we please in spite of them? SWEET SEVENTEENS

ANSWER: No. It doesn't do any good for par- ents to be too strict nor does it do girls any good to have too much liberty. The pity of the thing is that parents anti children find it so hard to strike the happy medium in which youth can have its fling, with

age guiding and protecting it.

Both sities are right from their respective points of view. Parents know so well the temptations along tha broad highway that their chil- dren are so cagct‘ to follow. They have seen drunken boys and girls coming home from wild parties ltite ti! night. They have heard lurid tales of petting parties and piiritcd automobiles. They have known so many girls’ reputations torn to tatters by gossiping tongues that they are determined to keep their own little ewe lambs safe in the home fold.

In reality they have increased the danger that besets every mod- ern girl. For by forbidding pleasure to their daughters and denying them every timtiscmcnt and association with the opposite sex, they have given ti fictitious value to these pleasures and made the girls so avid for thcm thiit they will have them at any price.

Piiretits might just as well fziee these facts honestly and realize that the only way they can protect their tiaughters is’ by letting them have all the innocent pleasures that they can and by teaching them to walk wtirily among the temptations along their pathway. Let them go to plenty of nice parties where there is a lot of fun and liveli- ness anti they will itot be maid for whoopee.

Above all. make their lioy friends welcome and get a chance to weed out unticsirablcs thereby helping them to choose for their as- sociates the kind of lads that you would not mind their marrying.

Parents should realize that they cannot always hold their girl children by the hands or keep them locked at home. Very soon these little daughters are grown up and out in the world. If they have ol- ways been repressed at home they then break the bounds. They mis- take liberly for license. In the exuberance of their spirits, let loose for the first time. they do things that they spend the balance of their lives rcpenting.

Ignorance is never innocence. inexperience does not insure safety. And so the stern parents who try hardest to protect their children do most. to throw them to the wolves.

For there are many other girls besides these two poor, silly, 17- year-oltis who are planning to make up for lost time and lost plea- sures as soon as they get out from under fathers and mother's thumbs.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am married, 4O years old, have two children. Have a responsible position and make enough to support my family in comfort and I adore my two children. I am quiet, studious, a keen lover of home life and I love my wife. She is continually on the go. Not home one evening a week. Neglects her home. The children are being brought up by the maid.

IT might be well to refrain from any definite attempt to bring to a close or to force pending issues until the planetary operations have time for incubation along construc- tive lines. A sort of lu_ll in proced- urea perhaps would allow projects. plans arid policies to ripen, while things develop normally along al- ready formulated ideas and wisely considered objectives. Judgment. is likely to be somewhat uncertain or hefoggcd. so that a. suspended co- hesive forco might favor ripened constructive plans to come to a head unhiunpered.

- For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is, may find themselves anchored in a more or less dhscure or uncertain state of mind. with opposing forces or influences working in opposite di- rections. It might be advisable to pursue a hands-ofl policy, since there are constructive plans and measures already well on the way for skillful manipulation, with in- genuity and innovations up for logl. ca] development. minus any decid- edly active interference from a pos- sible false move or wrong mental slant. The eltment. or time. with logical and orderly steps of pro- cedure, could convert a lepsrativl or opposing factor into a cohesive and amalgamatim force. surprising and unpredictable. springing fzoir.

ELLEIPS DIARY

By An Island Farmer's Wife

It. ii a bold wind that is about tho house tonight, one which toss- el tho branches of tho lawn trees wildly as at the moment they hide the face of the moon. Roughly it would pass along the shorn mea- dows, bearing in its cool breath a reminder that August is here and September and Autumn wait beyond the tree-crowned hills. 1t is not strange noting its bluster that James now entertaining a visiting farmer speaks of the harvest fields’ turning, and of other succeeding seasonal tasks to come. Today yielding to an im- pulse which warned them to lay up goodly stores against the Win- ter feeding of stock, pieces of standing hay to supplement our present supply were bought at a neighboring farm and from there the sound of the mowers reached us while we were about our cho:- ing this evening.

O O I, Milk pails must be washed. ducklings, ever-hungry creatures but most friendly, must be con- fined in the safety of former quar- ters out of reach of skunks or other night prowlers and there are the ends of chores which on a farm precede the dropping of dusk. Willing assistants are to be found ‘in grand-daughter and Jamie-he who in liolitiay time comes rind goes at his fancy. "It's a queer thing," he tried to explain this evening in that time which in- vites confidences and comes ‘lust before tired eyelids droup to ll close, "but I like to be here with you and gramdatldy!" O O O

A great-grandfather, it was our pleasure to chat with yesterday. a remarkably alert man of ninety years, who must have n veritable wealth of recollections on meni- ory's pages. Indeed it was our good fortune to talk with four of the line, his daughter, granti- mother a petite, talented lady, who played the piano at our re- quest, her son, a husky, much-trav- elled, interestod and progressive farmer and his SOIl, a curly-headed fellow, who rode grand-daughter's "tryke" happily and was obvious- ly the pride and joy of all hearts.

O O O

And the kid's mother? She was one who with her husband rmde the trip in the early Summei to visit Louis Bromfields farms in Ohio, attracted by the descrip- tions of his methods of farming. and farm-life, as made famous by his books, written with a facile and experienced pen. Altogether the trip was naturally most en- joyable, though as we would have.

;she found "The Island shores very

enchanting even from the decks of the Car Ferry" when return-

ing home‘. O O O

A bond between the elder gen- tleman and us was the fact that "an aunt of yours was one of my school-teachers." And we wonder- ed if he knew her for the kindly merry-hearted» person she was 0r would she be an awesome crea- ture bent on implanting the three R's? She was a pretty woman. as we knew her; this aunt of ours, blue of eye. fair of skin, and with many a trait, the bequest of he! Scottish ancestry. Of dauntloss courage, gifted in many directions other than teaching, of stately but modest bearing. she was one her aln folk shall never forget. We recall now, when she fashioned a pretty frock for us. out of rem- nants ofmaterlals. humming l tune while her needle flashed. or telling us some fascinating tale of olden times we were certain that she knew and could do every- thing.

O O O

We still cling to that belief. She was an intelligent woman. well read even hy present stun- dards: she was the best of wives and mothers; as a nurse, her services were widely sought; she was well versed in the lore. nnd expert in the house-wifely crafts of he; age, “Yes" she would sigh.

AVOIDING HEART ATTACKS

As the majority of cases of heart disease are due to the heart muscle m! setting enough oxygen in the blood that is nourishing it, every- thing that will increase the amount of oxygen in the blood and every- thing will will take some work eff the heart muscle is now recom- mended to these patients.

Some months ago to emphasise the importance of relief in the heart muscle. a heart specialist ad- vised men and women past the age of fifty not to lift their little finger unnecessarily. No one should take this advice seriously because even the heart specialist did not mean that it should be taken too ser- ifillily- What. he wanted to convey to all men and women past fifty was that they should not attempt to do the work or continue the same amount of exercise that they had been doing before fifty.

We all know men and women who are strong and vigorous and could perhaps safely continue to do the same kind and amount of work for years past fifty. Yet there RIB CV31] H1078 Infill lllld WOIIIOH W110 are not strong and vigorous who think they can do more than they should. It was these men and women that the heart specialist had in mind.

To those who have had heart at- tacks (coronary thrombosis) and those with high blood pressure. some valuable advice is given in "Modern Medicine” by Dr. Howard B. Sprague, Associated Physician, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. Dr. Sprague says that. measures to prevent heart strokes are to void overweight, the avoid- ing of severe and ‘unusual’ physic- al effort in untrained individuals, and avoiding any prolonged phy- sical or nervous fatigue in middle age.

It is the unusual effort that is so dangerous. A man or wccnan who has always played tennis might continue to play doubles instead of singles, whereas a beginner of mid- dle age should not play tennis or bobcnlnton.

The thought then is to take only light regular exercise and to avoid overweight which puts’ so much extra work on the heart and blood vessels.

OVERWEIGHT AND UNDER- WEIGHT

It has been well said that weight is one of the clearest methods of knowing Ono's health. Send today for Dr. Barton's booklet entitled "Overweight and Underweight," en- closing 10 cents and a S-cent stamp, to cover cost of handling and mailing. to The Bell Syndicate, in care of this newspaper, Post Of- flee Box 99, Station G.

TUMBLED 35 FEET

Fate intervened and saved Greg- ory Hoy from possible death when he plunged into one of many mountain gorges in Hamil- ton and escaped with only minor injuries. Gregory had been play- ing with his brother, Lawrence. nine. and another playmate, Ed- ward Breeze, l2, on top of the gorge when he slipped and tum- bled 35 feet down the face of

sheer rock. Quick thinking on part of young playmates in pick- ing up the injured boy and carry- ing him to the nearest house for medical aid is credited with pos- sibly saving the youngsters life.

American designer Mollie Parnis is sponsoring the choose-your-own- neckline, Concealed elastic in- serts are held in a deep fichu fold on the dresses so that they can be worn either on or off the shoulder.

WATCH YOUR SUN GLASSES

Health and Welfare Department officials warn Canadians to watch those sun-glosses. The experts say dark glosms should only be worn during times of exposure to bright sunlight. They should not be of a color that will alter the natural hues of the scenery.

Tossed salads are especially de- licious when they have a variety of greens. Use water-cross, Bos- ton and iceberg lettuce, Romaine, cndive, chicory nnd escarole if they are available.

Use finely cut scallions or chives to pep up a potato salad. Surround the salad with water-cross and coarsely shredded carrot for a pretty effect, aifd be sure to dust the top layer of potato with pap- rlka before serving.

For a Sunday night supper menu serve broiled or boiled frankfurt- ers with two salads-potato and cole slaw. Add mustard, dill pick- les, and spiced beets and lots of thin slices of pumpernickel bread spread with butter or margarine. Dessert might be lemon sherbet with a topping of grated fresh pineapple.

BRITONS LOSE TASTE FOR BANKING CAREER

LONDON, Aug. 12 —— (C?) — Britain's chartered banks are hav- ing trouble finding recruits for staff.

Banking as a career has become so unpopular that the banks are hard put to find enough trained personnel to replace retiring vet- erans.

"One reason for the shortage ll that there is less fear of unem- ployment in industry and com- merce generally." said an official of the National Union of Bonk Employees. v
