Statistics show that crime in rural areas is now rising faster than in the cities. The era when the countryside stood for safety and secutity has long gong. No longer is it safe anywhere to go out leaving the door on the latch . We all feel vnlnerable and seek to strengthen the barriers we use to hold criminals at bay . These can range from old fashioned bolts and bars to the latest electronic devices. A moment’s reflection ,however ,is enough to bring us face to face with the following puzzle :
we may have locked the evils out,but in doing so we have locked ourselves in . this hardly seems a civilized way of life.

I had only known Johnsy a few months when she fell victim to the disease. We had met in May and, finding ourselves so much in tune, had set up home together. Then, in November, she became ill. Scarcely able to speak in a, she seemed unable to cling to life. It was such a change. Before she had always been so lively andmerry . Now she just sat up in bed, staring out of the window. She had this strange belief that once the last leaf on the vine outside fell, she would die. I told her it was all nonsense , but to no effect.
