tMrs. 3. r. J.. Schenectady. N. y
Dear Mrs. e. r. K: My sis
ter sent me q clipping from
The Star in which you asked
information about Hamilton.
Ontario. 1t has been six years
since we lived there but we
have visited since then. the
last time being this past sum-
mer. The little towns Of Dun
das and Burlington have many
Hamilton employed residents.
and the western part of the
city is considered q desirable
location. However, for q city
Of its size-and it has had q
very healthy and rapid growth
1T Is quite free of slums.
ALI types Of schools are avail
able. The Catholic schools are
particularly fine because. con-
trary to conditions in the
United States. school taxes In
Canada are used at the grade
school level for the school the
parent wishes to support. Thus,
taxes paid by Catholics are
used to support Catholic
schools. High schools are sim
liar to those in this country
and at the university level
there Is MacMaster University,
at one time a Baptist-spon-
sored college. but I am not
sure that it still is. ct is at
the west end of the city,
You will probably find the
cost of living not too different
from what you now have, be-
cause Hamilton is in the
Niagara fruit belt which sup
plies a year-'round farmers
market that compares well
with any other I have ever
seen. Thus, food prices are
lower than any other place !
nave IlVeQ, DuC ike IN all or
Canada, appliance prices are
higher than in the United
States. so I would advise you
to buy any you will need soon
on this side, and use them, so
they can enter Canada as
household goods. The climate
is cooler than Washington,
but warmer year round than
here in Schenectady.
The housing and cultural
problems are those of any city
its size. A young symphony
orchestra is now one Of the
prides of the city. and it has
always had a good sports pro-
gram. OF course, you are only
40 miles from Toronto, which
gets much New York City en-
tertainment. The thing I have
missed most since leaving
Hamilton has been Lake On
tario and its free beaches.

By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: i am
n years old. q WAVE and have
been ct this base for over O.
year. A few months ago. one
Of the men here invited me to
60 to the movies. The COM
plication Is that he's married.
We've been out q few times
since. and I know I could easi-
" learn to care for him: he
seems to like me q lot, too.
He says he isn't happy at
home, that he and his wife
quarrel constantly. It would
be difficult for me TO forget
him, since we meet frequently
In the course Of our work. My
inclination is to stick around
and be on hand II he and his
wife should separate, but ]
know you usually advise that
this policy doesn't pay. Are
there any exceptions to that
rule?
DoTTY r.
ANSWER: In your job, you
meet many men. Succumbing
to an affair. or even friendly
overtures, Of a male who
claims his wife doesn't under
stand him is not helpful In
your work. You must learn to
do better, Dotty. Lonely men
away from home are apt to
fall back on the old fairy tale
about the wife who doesn't un-
derstand, or who constantly
nags, ETC., ad infinitum and ad
nauseam, and it takes Just q
few grains Of common sense
for a girl to spot the fable. The
wise response would be to re-
mind the man that his wife
isn't having too easy a time,
either, running the household,
raising the children, dealing
with in-laws and probably
working to save money for D
future home together.
OF course, he knows all that
and appreciates it at any time
except when he wants COM
pany and sympathy. Turning
his thoughts back to his home,
rather than from it. is the role
Of a girl who wants truly to
be helpful. Your idea of watt
ing patiently around, hoping
the wife, in your particular
case, will leave him, is posi-
lively ghoulish. You sound
more like a vulture than a nice
young girl doing her bit for
her country.
Your dreams are travelling
in the wrong direction. Dotty.
and are likely to end up as
Nightmares. Come down to
earth, realize the fact, that
you're being handed q "line,"
and save your deep affections
for some one more eligible.

Cinerama Result
Of War Gunnery
Training Idea

Fred Waller, the inventor of
Cinerama which has its Cincinnati
introduction on Monday, June 81,
at the Capitol Theatre, credits
the Worlds Fair of 1899 and the
second World War with assists"
in transforming his Cinerama
from a theory into fact.
The clue to a curved wide screen
that would re-create what the eye
sees in real life with wide arc
of 146 degrees came with Wal
ler's design. at Worlds Fair,
of sphere for the projection of
still photographs. The solution
came with his Waller Gunnery
Trainer which permitted combat
trainees to fire guns before a
spherical screen on which enemy
planes appeared.
Cinerama is the result of a
brilliant idea, fifteen years of
tireless research, and the expen-
diture- of millions of dollars. Call
ed the greatest invention since
talking pictures, Cinerama in
little more than year has been
seen by five million persons in ten
of Americas leading cities.
Long before setting to work on
the Cinerama invention, Waller
had been fascinated by the prob
lem of capturing depth on large
screens. While heading Para
mounts special effects department,
he observed that the wide-angle
lenses produced a definite sug-
gestion of depth. Simply to en-
large the ordinary flat screen
would not do. since a screen hun
dreds of feet wide would be need
ed for all the elements of peri
pheral vision" - the bits of a pic
ture caught out of the corner of
the eye, which is the basis of
Cinerama's effects.
