(International) As We Live Paslor Can Help Girl In Trouble When a girl's mother is dead and her father has little interest in his children or little sympathy for them, the best place for her to turn for help is to her pastor. (Q) "I am 15 years old and quiie mature for my age. My mother died when I was only three and 1 have been de prived of a mother's love and guiding hand. My fa ther drinks and often slays all night in taverns or away from home. The next Ht-rlock day he sleeps until late in the afternoon and beats us kids if we get in his way. For the past five years, I havebeen working to earn enough money for food and clothing for my five brothers and sisters any my self. The little I manage to save, my father drinks up. Now I am in a difficult situation. To put it bluntly. I am expecting a baby in six months. I do not know w.ho the father is and have no one ,to turn to. I am afraid to tell my father as he will only beat me as he always does. I am desperate, so please tell me what to do." (A) Go to your pastor at once and tell him about your prob lem. If you do not belong to any church, go to the pastor of your mother's faith. Any pastor, in fact, would help a girl in your position. The pastor can arrange to send you away until after your baby is born and can make ar rangements to have it adopted so it will have a good home. Ask the pastor to make ar rangements for your brothers and sisters while you are away. A girl your age should not have the responsibility of supporting and taking care of five children. And since your father is cer tainly not a suitable guardian for them, it would be better for the pastor to have them placed in a foster home where they will get proper care. After your baby is born you should be placed in a foster home, too, where you will get proper care and have a chance to complete your schooling. You are legally too young to be working and to have no guidance. With the proper kind of home you can begin life Dp. f V I RtSJ Strap Oxford I I I signed to fit end )) r ffVVlL VlHlCfc mIIJL flatter your childs y00!:' f I IrVTffan Sixes 6V2 to 9 KZyr )t$SZ Tap Toe" -Zfr 1 Sixes 9 '2 to 13 $6.95 V.

(U.R) A paper by-product is the latest road building products. An amber-colored liquid re sulting during the manufacture of paper has been proved cap able of. preventing dust when -jns peoj paAedun uo paXeids faces. The liquid also proves use ful as a binder for underbase gravel on roads to be paved, increasing the load-bearing strength of the surface, and in reclaiming the surfaces of bit uminous roads. Lignin and carbohydrates dis solved out of wood during the pulping process give the liquid its adhesive qualities, demonstra ted here during tests last year.
