We want our son back home because we love him and because he is not ready to live in the world alone. He has no graduation and no money, nothing to offer an employer, and no wish to work. He is just not ready to be alone in the world. We have always wanted our son to succeed, and have tried to make him responsible. Maybe we tried too hard.

He always had work to do around the house to earn his allowance, and he always had to have his homework finished before he went to school games. We still feel that these things are not too much to expect, but maybe we did not allow for his being just a boy. These days parents have to be so careful. How do we go about getting our son back, but most of all, how do we get him to want to stay home with us? Name Withheld. Dear Parents: You can get your son back by calling the police (RCMP) in your city, giving them pictures and an accurate description.

They will bring him home. He is under eighteen and not legally responsible, so you will have no trouble getting the police to bring him home. As to making him want to stay home, you can't. He must want to, himself. Making the rules a little more lenient will help, but it will not do the job.

Your son needs counselling, either at the school or through a government agency. If he will not listen to you, perhaps he will listen to an experienced counsellor. Perhaps the best way to make him want to stay home is to show him every day how much you love him, and to try to make him understand that the things you expect of now will be expected of him by the world later on. I wish you luck. Dear Pam: My husband and I took an unwed mother into our home as a babysitter for our children when we went out at night.

She lives with us all day and all night, we feed her and give her clothes, etc. She is a nice little girl, but she is not responsible. We come home at night and she is in bed while our son is up watching the late show. She never does the dishes after snacks, and she just leaves all her things lying around. We do not want to send her away because she will have trouble getting another place.

Do you suppose it could be her pregnancy? Mother's Helper. Dear Helper: It could be more than her pregnancy. It could be her state If the girl is helpful during the day when you are with her, then I suggest that she becomes depressed and incapable of handling things when you are not with her. This state of things is not going to help her baby when it comes and should be pointed out, with kindness, to both the girl and her agency. If you have any questions, please address them to Pam Thomas, in care of The Chilliwack Progress, P.O.

Box 160, Chilliwack. Celebrates 92nd Birthday Birthday greetings from across Canada were received by Mrs. Margaret Lyle who was 92 on August 18. Mrs. Peggy Gilmer, whose husband is a nephew of Mrs.

Lyle, entertained for the event at her home on 140 Second Avenue. Attending were Mrs. T. H. Berry, Mrs.

P. A. Holter, Mrs. Bessie Mitchell, Mrs. J.

G. Dwyer, Miss Laura Dirks and Mrs. Clara McDonald. Mrs. Lyle received a surprise phone call from her nephew and his wife, Mr.

A birthday cake to honor the occasion was baked and decorated by Laura Dirks. Ryder Lake Wins Shield In WI Competition Needlecraft received favorable comment at Chilliwack Fall Fair from judges who considered the work to be of excellent quality. In many cases they found it difficult to determine a winner. The finishing work on the inside of a piece of work, they say, is often the deciding factor in awarding a prize. Ryder Lake was first and won the shield over four other entries in the Women's Institute section.

Outstanding was the institute's quilt of a soft beige material quilted in an intricate design of very fine stitching. Most sections in the open classes drew some entries. A display of tatted doilies showed exquisite workmanship as did three children's dresses with smocking done on a yoke. A complete set of jewellery with centres in very fine petit-point, and a framed picture of a bowl of red flowers in the same kind of embroidery were considered of outstanding quality. Though no class was listed for cutwork, a number of pieces appeared and conveners hope for a revival of this form of needlework.

Encouraging display of dresses and fancywork came from girls under 16. In the thrift section one learns how to make an exciting apron from a flour sack printed with lino blocks, or to create a child's coat from used materials. Beautiful display of crocheted and knitted articles, embroidery work and rugs was done by senior citizens, many of whom are over 80 Married In Court House Ceremony Mrs. Mary N.

Colorful array of quilts in patchwork or appliqued designs formed an impressive background for the many types of needlework on display.
