wind! Until Partner reasoned it
out We were a little alarmed at
, the house being so cold.. Tye

caution to make it comfortable
—storm windows, instilationd -
plenty" of coal: "BizOit being
fairly 16i -so' Partner "
had kept' the 'firein. the-furnace
as low as possible. So, when
that cold nor'-wester struck this
district the furnace firebox was
half empty and, b,ecause of the
wind, we,were afraid, -to put ,on
too a fire. Better, to be a
little cold, we thought, than to
get too warm by' the
house "Catch sHoWeVer, the

Our other 'worry' canceined
traffic accident in- Whiehstlis9 of
our friends were , involved..Ap-
parently ; a car braked' too sud-
denly and swerved across the
road in front of M 's 'car.
M.. received mincas injur-
ies; his wife was cut, bruised,
and is still in bed suffering from
shock. That kind of accident
could happen to any one of us
who might be driving along the
road minding our own business.
The Currant campaign for safer
driving hasn''t come a day too
soon.
Oh yes—and we have' another
werry—what to do abbut Christ
nsas. We' intended 'holding; it
here as Usual bu I; now we cannot
make any definite plans as Dee
and Arthur won't' be 'able r'''to'
bring Dave out if the weather
should be the least bit rough.
Dee wants us all to go there
instead but we think she has
enough to contend. with without
taking on any more extra work.
We could all help with the Work;
of course, but maybe too many
around wouldn't be too goad
for Dave. However. I expect
everything Will work out all
rigbt—;.it generally does, any-
way, It is just another of the
kind of problems most of us
meet with in OUr everyday life,
Problems that we either face,

* Another suggestion is that
* your husband's sister who is
* living with you should pro-
• vide a place for the two of
them. Since she refuses, she
* should certainly assume the
* responsibility of entertaining
* her mother during her visit
* with you, taking her tq
* church and other places she
* wants to go, and so relieving
• you and your husband to that
rir degree. That would keep her
'1' out of your hair, so to speak,
* and more often away from
e the children, who, from what
s you say, do not welcome her
* presence. Your husb an d
* should make it clear that she
* is not to interfere with their
training, nor in household
affairs.
It is unjust that you alone
* should have to look after her.
* ;A mother is the equal respon-
* sibilty of all her children. If
* they will admit this fact and
* approach the problem with
4' good will all around, the bur-
* den should not be too heavy
* for anyone., I hope some
* equitable arrangement can be
* made.
* Meanwhile, try not to dread
thesiuture so much. It may
`* work out better than you ex-
* pect = especially if you will
* try harden tss. win her friend-
* ship and "make 'allowances for
* the eccentricities of old age.
4' You say your husband is diffi-
* cult; you are not close to your
* sister-in-law, either. Can't
* you take these difficulties
* more calmly, lessen your own
• tension and be more bf the
* stabilizer in the whole fain-
* ily? It would help all around.

extent of this bank's participa-

housing is the figure for "Mort-

under NHA (1954)", which now
stands at $100,865,965. This is

The Royal. Bank of Canada
closed its fiscal year on. rovem.
ber 30, 105 with, a profit, after
taxes and all other ,charges, of
$10,855,490, a 13.6% increase
over the figure for the previous
year. This represents earnings
per share of $2.58, as compared
with $2.38 in 1954.
The bank's profit and loss
statement this year is being
presented in slightly different
form in that profits are shown
after provision for depreciation
arid income taxes, which form-
erly r ;ere shown separately. It
is also noted that the bank has
set aside this year $11,215,000
for income taxes,
Out of net profit regular divi-
dends of $6,604,422 were paid to
shareholders plus an extra dis-
tribution at the rate of 204 per
share amounting' to $840,000..
The residual anount, together
with the balance of undivided
profits resulted in the sum of $4;-
918,133 from which the bank
transferred $4,000,000 to the Rest
Fund, leaving a balance of
$918,133, This is the 6th year
in a row that the Royal Bank
has transferred to the Rest Fund
a portion of the current year's
earnings, Capital and Rest Fund
now stand at $42,000,000 and
$108,000,000 respectively which,
with undivided' profits, • bring
the capital funds of the bank to
$150,918,133.
The bank's annual balance
sheet just' issued shows lotal
assets for the year at $3,284,-
143,865, a figure which exceeds
the recor d, total of a year ago
'by well 'over $250,600,000.

Call loans are down by some
93ear Anne Hirst: We, live in
a small Own and have three
Young children. My husband
drinks too Innen, but he does
pay our bills. His sister has
been with us for over a year,
and she is very hard to get
along with — and now his
mother may have to come herel
She is over 60, and likes an ac-
tive life. Last year she visited
us for a few months and every-
thing was at cross-purposes the
whole time. (She has never
liked me,) Her other son defs
initely refuses to have her
there. I think my hausband's
single sister should make a
home for her, but she declares
she will, not-take 'her on.
"If We all could get together
and find a place for her to live,
I would do without anything;
but we're all in the same boat
— no money.
"My husband's unfortunate
disposition is another problem.
He• is very, very hard to please,
and though I do my best I can
never predict whether he'll like
it or not. He always says I. can
have anything I want, but that
only holds good when I don't
want anything. I have a few
clothes," and .;1 cannot express
my personal taste in even our
house furnishings, He must boss

way things are now too mans,
people are haunted by fear—
fear of the inevitable outcome
of illness—dectore
'
nurses' and
hospital bills, And that isn't "ny
dream either—it's a nightmare!
One woman, just after a series Of
X-rays—said to me the other
clay—“What's the use 0 4 work-
ing hard all your life and, then
when you're 'older payhvt What
you've saved all out in doctors'
bills?" What, indeed'
Of course, most, peop' even
on farms, have some sort of hos-
pital insurance but, it doesn't
begin to cover the entire cost 01

be amazed if we' knew how

It is my guess that, 'employment
being at'a high level, there are
feWer bad debts on the doctor's
books; which 'would naturally
account for an increased income.
"State Medicine" are words of
ill repute but surely Canada
can benefit from the mistakes
and experiencei of ,proven med.
ical plans • in this and other'
countries. Saskatchewan seems
to be quite satisfied with its pre-
paid hospital and medical plan.
Dr. McKinnon Phillips has gone
one further with suggestions for
home-care fer patients* not 'ur-
gently in need of hospitalization.
Some such scheme should surely
relieve some of the congestion
in hospitals: Quite often patient*
enter hospital becausec it is their

"HAVE HIS CAKE—"
"Dear Anne Hirst; I've seen
the very sensible opinions you
give other people, and'I thought
maybe you could help me. . . .
I am not anywhere near get-
ting married, but I've gone
steady with this boy for three
years and enjoyed every min-
ute. We broke up once for two
months ago when the same thing
we were happy again until six
months ago whe the same thing
happened . , . To this very day
I haven't forgotten him.
"He tells his friends he
doesn't love me any more, but
lays he IS coming back some
time. Because I still love him I
will wait . . . When both' our
groups go to the show, he sits
with me most of the time
and at the rink we skate to-
gether almost as often as' we
used to,
"My friends and his still
think he loves me and I've
nothing to worry about. He
doesn't go with anyone else. All
this leaves me very confused.
Can you help me?
