"Dear Anne Hirst: Five months
ago, I married my second husband,
I have a girl 17 and a boy 15. Now
I am afraid I
must choose be-
tween my hus-
band and them.
"My husband
works in anoth-
er city. The
daily travel is
too hard on his
health, and we
find it too ex-
pensive to continue living here, too.
So we must decide to move where
he works.
"My children refuse to go along,
My daughter has a good job here,
and she doesn't want to leave it.
The boy dislikes the idea of chang-
ing schools.
I never had any real happiness
before, Anne Hirst, My first hus-
band deserted me 13 years ago, and
I worked and raised my children
the hard way. This husband makes
me very happy he provides every-
thing for us, and he is such good
company 1
I don't want to break up my
life again. I know my place is with
him, yet I cannot leave ray children
here. It is making trouble all
round. The children won't see it
this way. Please help us.

Practical! •
Some college students acquire
knowledge, others develop ingenu-
ity and resourcefulness. Young
,Tucker was definitely among the
latter class, One question in his
exam read:
"What steps would you take in
determining the height of a build-
ing, using an aneroid barometer?"
To which the young man blithely
replied: "I would lower the baro-
meter by a erring and measure. the
string."

A problem has beau solved for

Sidney Smith, president of the Uni-
versity of Toronto, that training for
Occupational and Physical Ther-
apy will be combined in one 3 -year
diploma course this autumn. Of-
ficials of the Faculty of Medicine
report that many hospital heads

convalescent therapy facilities can
afford to set up and maintain one
new department, but not two.
Even now the two departments
are working in close oo-operation
in many modern hospitals and re-
habilitation centres. Throughout
Canada the demand fon' trained
therapists exceeds the supply. Indi-
cations are that there will 'be an
even greater demand for those with
training in both techniques.
))r. Smith said that during World
Vs'ar II, it became obvious that
there was mucic over-iapping of the
two techniques as practised in gen-
eral hospitals and convalescent
ceeutres. It was realized that the
Physical Therapist would benefit
by knowing something of the tech-
niques of the Occupational Thera-
pist, and ilkewise the Occupational
Therapist would increase her scope
and value by knowing the tech-
niques of the Physical Therapist,
Recognizing that the treatments
used in Physical '.Therapy and Oc-
cupational Therapy are now firmly
established as an integral part of
therapeutics, particularly in rehab-
ilitation, a committee of the Fac-
ulty of Medicine ]las recently made
an intensive study of ...the curricu-
lum iu the light of modern trends
continually; developing in convales-
cent and rehabilitation centres.
Young women trained in this
combined course can look forward
to employttrent in general hospitals,
orthopaedic and children's hospitals,
in rehabilitation centres, mental
hospitals, sanitoria, curative work-
shops and disablement centres, or
in private practice,
It is expected that graduates of
the diploma course will be eligible
for membership in both of the pro-
fessional associations, After taletng
•the basic course the young wommn
who wishes to specialize in onto
branch may do so by interning
In a hospital for six months or
a year.
Up to now, the University of Tor-
onto has been the only Canadian
university to give training in Occu-
pational Therapy. The University
of Toronto and McGill have had
the only courses in Physical Ther-
apy'.
TURN ABOUT
During a grouse hunt two Eng-
lish sportsmen were patting birds
from blinds situated close together.
Suddenly a red, indignant face
showed over the top of one blind,
and its owner said angrily, "Curse
you, sir, you almost bit any wife
just nowt"
"Did I?" asked the other aghast,
"I'nt terribly sorry, really. Tell you
what, you eat, have n shot at
mine."

Readers, please take notice! Any
remark 1 snake in this column about
the weather is purely coincidental,
and, when read, may have no rela-
tion whatsoever to any kind of
weather, past, present of future.
There now, perhaps that will look
after things if what 1 say appears
utterly ridiculous. You see, right
now we are still suffering from
the big blow we had last week.
We did not get badly snowed in
but our hydro was off for awhile,
and whets that came on the tele-
phone went on. and hasn't been
fixed yet. And that was six days
ago. So many lines were dt wu and
of course the repair men can't be
everywhere at once so w'e 3051 have
to accept the situation and make
the best of it.
• And you knots it is rather rest-
ful not having to listen to the
telephone ringing all day long.
There are 15 subscribers on our
line and that means a lot of rings
coming -iii. In fact one has to be
Johnny on the spot to get the line
when it is necessary to put in
a call, It must be nice to have a
private telephone and hear only
one's own ring, On a party line
one has to be on the alert all the
tinte to distinguish one ring . from
another. Perhaps you are running
the washing machine, the vacuum
or the sewing machine, or, in my
case, pounding the typewriter. The
phone starts ringing—you stop, and
wait and listen—just in case the
ring shall be for you. Or perhaps
you are sure it is yours and you
come running downstairs and pant
a breathless "dello" into tate
transmitter. But it isn't your num-
ber after all, so you apologize, hang
up the receiver and go back to your
job. A little later it rings again --
probably the sante party, you think
—and you keep working. But it
zings again, This time you stop
immediately.
"Alt, but that was our ring!"
So you rush downstairs again but
before you make proper contact
with your party three different per-
sons come on the line and ins
quire "Is the line busy?" Busy?
That's a joke—butt then that's the
party line for you—and we are
glad to have it even at that.
But when the line is out of
order what a lot of time you save!
I esti type away to my -heart's
content, run the vacuum without
stopping to listen to anything or
anybody, But it also produces a
sense of fear—suppose you need
the doctor or the vat In a hurry:
suppose someone needs you urg-
ently and can't get through, Or
perhaps you aek whoever is going
down town to pick up an order
at tha grocery store—you'll phone
it in presently. Too late you re-
member your useless telephone, so
the order is oiled for—and of
source It isn't there.
Ottr worst mix-up this time Was
on Saturday. I was down town

and heard via the grapevine sys-
tem that Daughter would be out
for the weekend. I quite expected
to find het' at home when I got
back. But there was no Daughter,
either then or at any time during
the weekend. So 1 imagine she
tried to phone us and couldn't get
through.
\\ 'bile down town 1 stopped for
awhile at an auction sale and saw
some real antiques. Knives and
forks so old they had stag handles:
heavy ironstone cups yellow with
age: a sideboard with brass drawer
handles featuring an Egyptian head,
and a *ocua set of Limoges china,
But 3 cane away—there was noth-
ing I really needed, but had I
stayed 1 might have been tempted.
Instead of auction sale bargains
I cause home with a quilt batt--
noty 1 have a quilt set up with
a crazy" patchwork top that I made
about 15 years -ago. About time I
got to work on it, isn't it? To
avoid disarrangiug the living -room
I set up this quilt in our bedroom,
That seemed like a good idea until
tine morning when Partner wanted
a pair of socks%and had to crawl
under the quilt to reach his bureau
drawer. Maybe he thought If one
o1 ns had to go down on all fours
it might as well be him, No doubt
my turn will come later.
Here is au idea you anight like
to try—if you have the stuff to
do it with. Among my half -for•
gotten treasures I had a box of
travellers' samples --heavy stuff
suitable fur motor rugs. I crocheted
around these patches and then
sewed them together, Result—a
couple of heavy plaid bed -throws
that are splendid as an extra for
chilly nights. The same idea could
be carried 'out with any heavy
material using 100 per cent nylon
wool for the crocheted edges. That
same wool is grand for darning ---
so strong you can't break it, yet
as sofa and fine as baby wool. Try
it sometime—you'll like it.

Churches have their troubles, too.
But when the complaint was made
that the Greek widows were neg.
tented in the daily ministration, tine
apostles made a wise pronounce-
ment: "It is not reason that we
should leave the Word of God, and
serve tables,—We will give our-
selves continually to prayer and the
ministry of the Word." The minis-
ter who abides by that opinion will
do a great work.
A minister cannot operate a
church alone, Willing workers are
essential. If he can find, as the
apostles did, "Ill 011 of honest re-
port, full of the Holy Ghost and
wisdom?" to fill the key positions,
that church will advance. Too often
the modern church chooses men for
the leading offices because of their
ability to pay, rather than their in-
clination to pray,
There is a place of service for
every individual. One lay woman,
realizing, that she was not an apos-
tle, a prophet of a teacher, said, "I
can be one of the helps."
When Paul established a church
111 a city, he effected some organ-
ization before leaving. Thus, when
he returned by Ephesus, he was
met by the elders of the church.
Theirs was a responsible office. He
charged theta saying, "Take heed.
therefore onto yourselves, and to
all the flock, over which the Holy
Ghost has made you overseers."
A church is not just an organiza-
tion. It must have Divine. life if it
is to fulfill its Divine call, But for a
group of people to work together
effectively, some semblance of or-
ganization is necessary, Happy is
that minister whose members are
in reality the body of Christ. Then
they will work together harmon-
iously, The minister, not having to
settle petty church quarrels will
have more time and energy for the
study and presentation of the Word
of Gqd.
