If your child pushed a foreign body into nostril or ears, what should you do?"For no reason at all children will push small objects such as peas or pebbles up their nostrils or into the ears. Do not try to remove them yourself; get them to a doctor or hospital as quickly as possible.

What financial structure is necessary today to support a successful marriage?"Twenty or thirty years ago a young man contemplating marriage was expected to adequetely support both himself and his wife. Nowadays sixty-five per cent of married women are working because of temporary financial pressure...that condition no longer applies.
But it should be looked on as only a temporary measure...[otherwise] the question of having a family is put off indefinetely and too often the decision is taken too late. Either conception is impossible or the couple has become accustomed to a scale of living made possibly by two incomes, or both husband and wife desire the social freedom gained with no family ties."

Should a bride plan to work after marriage?"Here again the circumstances must govern the decision...
But working husbands and working wives face many problems. Most men want to bring home and talk over their own business worries or academic worries with their wives. Few men wish to listen to the office chit chat of the working wife immersed in her own problems. the working wife should content to live her business life from nine to five, then forget about it until the next morning. Hers is the double responsibility of contrivuting to the family income and also making a home.
But there should be a clear understanding before marriage that the working wife cannot be responsible for a full day's work in the office and the complete care of the apartments or rooms in which the couple live".

In Kate Aitken's book "It's fun raising a family", she says:"The normal desire of any young married couple is to establish a happy home in which to raise a family. In Canada, it is almost universally conceeded that the woman in the home sets the standards of family life- and women have never had to work with such system and foresight, as we must today. Living is more crowded because our houses and apartments are smaller. Few of us can afford even part-time help. Yet we want our families to see us, not as distraught housewives troubled about many things, but as calm competant and cheerful heads of our domain, the home".
