chances were of suc cess Opposites hould not marry It was important to eliminate the small irritations that caused fric tion ltwus twoway process and each must learn not to do some of the things which irritated the other each must learn to overlook some of the little things that caused an noyancc The day of the family dictator was done said Dr Bernhardt or at least on the way out he added with smile All major questions should be talked over by husband and wife Most of us nccdcdpractice in this because discussion could so easily deteriorate into argument All points should be brought for ward and then agreement reached by comprombc Referring to criticism Dr Bern hardt said succinctly Be careful say it some other way Criticism brings out the worst in people Someone criticizes us and we criti cize back or defend ourselves or fight back silently and that is worst of all When problems come solve them yourselves Keep friends and rela tions where they belong on the periphery Face your problems frankly They become festering foci of difficulty if not brought out into the open Look for Solutions Concluding this section of his ad dress he said much depends on Whll held persons attitude

confusions in many young peoples minds Mar ried love was stronger it thrived on different things It was not dc pcndcnt on thrills but was fed by comfortable companionship Another factor wmcn held mar riage together said Dr Bernhardt was the attitude of the partners If they went forward on the unques tioning assumption that their mar Iiagc was for keeps if they knew but for swirl Ile spoke of competition us one of the disruptive forces The lioliitilllg of ulics ego the umch tion of ones superiority over lht in marriage The two partners Were on the some lfni TAX ARREARS UP BY $24000 AT

satisfies our basic human needs the need to love Illld bi lov ed the need to feel ilpClllICl mid to feel that we belong to some one Sympathy was another important factor word which Dr Bernhardt self into the other persons position likc husband who knew how his lwifc felt when the whole day had lgonc wrong and the children got into the neighbors hairand acted accordingly When two people llv cd together for years their habits became integrated habits of think ing and feeling and behaving From this came security and peace which bound the partners perman cntly Common goals are very import ant If two people give their hearts to things at the opposite ends of the scale of values their mar riagc has clouded future Last but not least by any means Dr Bernhardt added sense of humor to this list

applicable if the new grants were to be applied in 1953 The actual grants to be received in 1953 are fire department $4 09317 police department $8077 total of $1217017 The basis for determining the population of municipalities will be the 1951 Dominion Census with the provision that if and when the population increases by seven per cent or more the Department of Municipal Affairs will redeterminc the population and make an award adjustment for grant purposes Mr Barrand points out There do not appear to be any strings attached except that the Depart ment may require the municipality to state the amount of grant receivv ed on the tax bill 0n the new basis explains Mr Barrand the actual 1951 census figure is not available but it is be lieved to be in the neighborhood of 12500 The assessors population figure in 1952 was 13654 Since this is an increase in population of over seven per cent the assessocs figure used Our possible grant therefore at the $225 per capita rate would be 53072150 This could mean an increasa of $1855133 over fire and 12 zv The Middle Column WE POINT WITHOUT PRIDE By GEORGE HILL In the good old days there was one item in the household furn ishings very

of the elected and up porntcd officials that the top $400 per capitu rate should apply to all municipalities and unless reason able explanation can be given it would appear that there has been SOIIIL
