"DEAR ANNE HIRST: I've been
married nine years, and we have a
little girl. For the past seven
months, my hus-
band has been
drinking excess-
ively. I certainly
need your help,
"He drinks for
a week at a time,
staying out all
night and spend-
ing money on
low women, When he is sober, he
is sorry, and makes all promises.
Yet within a month, off he goes
again.
"He thinks the'world of our little .
girl, and at least he pretends to love
me. He provides well for us; I al-
ways have spending money. He
has never mistreated me in any way.
"My parents want me to get a
divorce. They say our child will be
looked down on, all through life.
"But, I still love my husband, and
I feel I can't give him up.

GweraoLi.n.e. D Ct.o,t•lc¢
Since last week there is -only one
thing to say about the weather—
just that it's worse. 'Neff said,
especially as it's snowing.
One day last week, tired of wait-
ing for -a good day, I went to Tor-
onto—in the rain. 1 paddled around
with rubbers and an umbrella most
of the day, had lunch "where all
Toronto meets' and then, tired of
shopping. 1 visited my in-laws in
the Moore Park district. Ta get
there I took a Mount Pleasant.lais
and went along the new speed' ay
that was opened last year. Speed-
way is right. It took only ten min-
utes to go from Adelaide to .fngle-
wood Drive. When 1 got off the
bus. 1 stood for a minute watching
the ears go by. The pace was terri-
fic. Time was when 1 didn't mind
driving in the city at all—even v:hen
we had the old Model A—now 7
drive halfway and board a bus,
Before leaving for hone 1 stop-
ped off at Daughter's place. 1 want-
ed to hear all the news a$ u-1
recently she changed her job. Nov -
she is in a publishing office. Last
Friday she was really thrilled. The
girls in the office she was leaving
clubb'ed together and gave her an
electric tea -kettle and two lovely
cups. and saucers. I am sure she felt
she was leaving good friends behind
her. Maybe she had a few regrets
—1 don't know. But that's the tray
of life—if we gain hi one sea_; we
lose in another.
That, too, was our feeling the
night the Budget was made 'public.
Actually by paying more taxes we
appear to be losing, but if higher
taxes are a means of greater na-
tional and international security
then we gain in the long run, Even
the budget had its funny 5ir'e••--'
everyone on their toes to hear the
highlights — and then the Mac-
Arthur affair stole the show. Even
the return of the Stone of Scone
was somewhat of an anti.cliurae
and tailed to c Tett( much caring
Vert.
The only thing view around Gin,
get Farm is another calf—and be-
ing of the orale variety it won't be
here very long. The visitors we
were eepertinfr this week -end got
as far as Toronto—and stayed there.
Which is what I advised them to
do when they telephoned—they had
other friends to visit anyway. I
knew they were coming up again
in a few weeks time—and surely by
then there will be some improve-
ment in the weather.
A nice heart-warming little inci-
dent carne my way yesterday. At a
small bus terminal I was buying an
evening paper. There was another
woman there chattering away ex-
citedly in broken English and point-
ing to some little magazines on the
paper rack. Thinking she could not
make herself understood I offered
to help. "No. no, it ees not that,".
'she answered.."the English I under-
stand= I am• four years in Canada,
It is the books—the price they do
not know From Holland, you un-
derstand—in the Dutch. The sur-
prise—.it so pleases me. I never
thought to see them here!" And
•she hugged the two little :magazines
tightly in her arms.
Two papers from the Old Coun-
try. 1 imagined her taking them
home ---to her Canadian bottle.
Reading, laughing. perhaps crying
over them, iust a little. How won-
derful that the printed word can
bridge the gap between two coun-
tries: even though oceans divide.
Sometimes this love of one's
country is a little hard for Can-
adian -born people to understand, It
is also hard to explain. Let us put
it this way. A girl marries; she is
happy and very much in love with
her new home. But underneath it
all there is stili a deep and abiding
love for the some of her childhood
—Where she grew from childhood
to womanhood: where the dreams
of yesterday slc•wly merged into the
reality of today. So it is with Can-
adian' born in some other 'and be-
yond the seas. Now they have two
loyalties• -•---the old and the' new.
Their new hoine is Canadian --then'
v:c'rk, their friends and amusements,
even the food they cat. is Canadian
—and most of them are happy that
it should be so. But it isn't reason-
able to suppose the old home. and

Woman Finds Market
Foi' Old. Trash
The household "white elephant"
has found a home at last.
Wheat Mrs. Helen McConnell
rounded up her personal herd of
unwanted trivia back in late 1949,
she decided that someone probably
could use the various odd items she
had collected from the basement
and attic,
She selected the names of 100
Denver women at random from the
telephone book and sent theta pos-
tal cards inquiring whether they
would be willing to swap their old
knicknacks for something they
could use.
Sixty-five enthusiastic replies in
two weeks convinced her she had
a future in the white elephant busi-
ness. Her shop in Denver, the Bar-
ter Mart, has been booming ever
since.
The amazing part of the venture
is that customers can get a lot for
a little through the use of cotintee-
feit-proof wampum.
This wampum is a paper scrip in
one-quarter, one-half, five, 10. e20_,
and
20 -
and 50 denominations. One Zang
punt is worth 12 cents.
When a customer comes into
the shop for a, trade-in, the un-
wanted item is appraised by Mrs.
McConnell. She grants wampum
according to her idea of its worth:
Medium of Exchange
Customers then swap the wam-
pum for any article in the store.
The mart is advertised as "the store
with nothing to sell," but it earns
for its owner through a service
charge on each article. The more
wampum required, the less the ser-
vice charge,
. Barter .Mart started in one tiny
roots with 1,8 -'of Mrs. McConnell's
personal relics. The rent was earn-
ed the first day. Since then it has
moved twice: and expa11,sion to still
larger quarters is slated for the
near future.
Since the first of the year 9,138
articles have been taken in and an
estimated 4,000 units of wampum
. are its circulation. •
The venture has been so success-
ful that Mrs. McConnell ]las sold
franchises to several other cities.
Get Many Inquiries
In addition, the McConnells re-
ceive hundreds of weekly inquiries
by let,}- and telephone from the
United'a§tates, Canada and Mexico.
The Mart handles every type of
merchandise that a housewife could
tab a monstrosity. For trade have
been curling balls, early model
gramophones, devices for curving
field hockey sticks, diamond rings,
horns on cattle ,ancient automobiles,
Siamese cats and bed pans.
On a large board labeled: "\0
have calls for" is an offer of: "Dra-
pery expert will make drapes—your
hoose ---for two wampum per hour,"
Wednesday is family night at the
Mart. A giveaway drawing has
lured 200 persons into the shop osa
these nights.
Mrs, 'McConnell attributes her
success to the fact that everyone
loves to swap and a woman's flair
for the unusual.
"Women would rather have wam-
pum than money," she said. "We
have so much fun in here when we
get a cackling bunch of women
together; it's just like a circus."
