"Dear Anne Hirst: The only
problem my husband and I have
is money. 1 work, and make
more than he does, but he could'
earn several times as much if
he had made up his mind to it.
The trouble is, my husband in-
sists on working on commission.
Some weeks he makes nothing;
others, up to $100, but his yearly
average is about $40. I have fig-
ured it all out. He refuses to ad-
mit he could make more on a
salary; he says a salaried man
never gets ahead. My argument
is that any ambitious man could
manage to be worth more than
his present income.

"The trouble started, I think,
after he got out of service,
Starting on little, he made a
small fortune -- and lost it all
gambling! He still thinks the
same old luck will follow him.
I've tried to get him to go on
salary for just a year, until we
could take care of our debts.
He refuses.
"We were married eight years
ago, and for the past five I've
held a job. I took it so we could
move away from his family
home. (We have no children).
I don't mind working, except
I'd prefer to keep shouse and
cook; but if I can be a better
helpmeet by holding a job, then
I'm happy to.
"My husband is intelligent; he
has a good personality and a
loving nature. I .sincerely be-
lieve he loves me above every-
thing else, as I do him. He is
34, the youngest of a large fam-
ily; they were poor, but he had
what he needed. Can you . give
me any suggestions?
DISCOURAGED"
* One would suppose that a
• man from a poor family
* would value a dollar too dear-.
* ly to gamble with it. Your
• husband's one fling spoiled
* him; now he is incurably
* hopeful, believing his luck
m will repeat itself. Also, the
* very uncertainty of his present
* commissions may arouse his
* gambling tendency.
,: To most wives, how com-
'k forting is the weekly pay en-
* velope! -- Particularly to one
* of your nature, who considers
,, owing money • dishonest, and
* who longs for. financial secur-
* ity in a home of her own.
* To put your request on the
* basis of, "If you love me —"
* is repugnant. You can, how-
* ever, remind your husband
* that this problem is the only
* barrier to your complete hap-
* piness; if it were removed,
* you could look ahead to the
* day when you are free of debt
* and able to save regualarly
* and manage practically, as
* most women prefer to do.
* You could relax into the dom-
* estic routine you really love,
* and look forward to raising the
* family you hope for.
* 1 hope your husband will
* realize how fair you are in
* asking that he try your idea
* for just a single year.
Surely two mature people are
able to discuss pleasantly the
best way to handle their in-
come? Vet money arguments
rate high in our divorce courts.
. If this problem faces you,
ask Anne Hirst's opinion; she
can explain how to handle it in
an adult way. Address her at
Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St,, New
Toronto Ont.

IN A STATE OF SUSPENSE — Box-office booming Grace Kelly
is off MGM's payroll — and Metro -Goldwyn -Mayer is on the spot.
Winsome Grace, wha knows her own mind, refused to work in
"Jeremy Rodock" in which she was to co-star with Spencer Tracy..
So MGM suspended her, which means she's not only off their
payroll, but she can't work for any other company. MGM's
;doubly on the spot because (1) Grace is likely Oscar winner
when the awards are made March 30. If she cops it she won't
be any easier to cope with (2) MGM can't wield the economic
whip because her father is a multimillionaire.

TALKS

Maybe I'm wrong, but it
seems to me that figs aren't
nearly as much used in cookery
today as they were a few years
ago. Which is. a pity, as they
have a much wider range of use
than many cooks realize.
Recently, in The Christian
Science Monitor, Ethel M. Eaton
published some fig recipes which
are well worth passing along to..
you.

Without the protection of fire, auto-
mobile and casualty insurance your
community would be a very different
place. Fire -gutted buildings seldom
would be replaced. Families would be
thrown into a lifetime of debt by the
costs of automobile accidents and other
liabilities arising from mishaps and
errors. Few people would risk their
money on investments. Industries would
go bankrupt. lobs would be lost.

Today in Canada, the insurance busi-
ness provides protection against nearly
every conceivable risk. Fire insurance
alone safeguards property valued at
$32 billion. And claims totalling niot•a
Than $200,000,000. are paid each year
to offset the costs of a variety of mishaps
- from people slipping on stairs to
tornados. In this way, the insurance
business makes a substantial contribu-
tion. towards Canada's continued secu-
rity and prosperity.
